The date on which the Closing actually takes place is referred to as the “Closing Date.” Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, at the Closing, the parties shall cause an articles of merger with respect to the First Merger in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the parties (the “First Certificate of Merger”) and immediately thereafter a certificate of merger or articles of merger, as applicable, with respect to the Second Merger in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the parties (the “Second Certificate of Merger,” together with the First Certificate of Merger, the “Certificates of Merger”) to be duly executed and filed with the Utah Department of Commerce, Division of Corporations and Commercial Code (the “Utah Division of Corporations”) and the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (the “Delaware Secretary of State”) and make all other filings or recordings required by the Company, the Acquisition Subs or Parent under the Utah Act, the DGCL and DLLCA in connection with effecting the Mergers. The Mergers shall become effective on the date and at such time as the Certificates of Merger are filed with the Utah Division of Corporations and the Delaware Secretary of State, as applicable, or at such later time as may be mutually agreed to in writing by Parent and the Company and specified in the Certificates of Merger (the time at which the First Merger becomes effective being referred to in this Agreement as the “First Effective Time” and the time at which the Second Merger becomes effective being referred to in this Agreement as the “Second Effective Time”).

(a) From and after the First Effective Time, the directors and officers of Acquisition Sub I immediately prior to the First Effective Time shall be the directors and officers of the Initial Surviving Corporation until their successor has been duly elected, designated or qualified, or until their earlier death, resignation or removal in accordance with the articles of incorporation and bylaws of the Initial Surviving Corporation.

(b) From and after the Second Effective Time, the managers and officers of Acquisition Sub II immediately prior to the Second Effective Time shall be the managers and officers of the Surviving Company, each to hold office in accordance with the limited liability company agreement of the Surviving Company until their respective successors have been duly elected, designated or qualified, or until their earlier death, resignation or removal in accordance with the limited liability company agreement of the Surviving Company.

Section 1.5 Treatment of Capital Stock in the Mergers.

(a) Treatment of Capital Stock in the First Merger. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, at the First Effective Time, automatically, by virtue of the First Merger and without any further action on the part of Parent, Acquisition Sub I, the Company or any shareholder of the Company:

(i) all shares of Company Common Stock that are held in the Company’s treasury or are held directly by a Company Subsidiary, Parent, Acquisition Sub I or Acquisition Sub II immediately prior to the First Effective Time (collectively, with the Dissenting Shares, “Excluded Shares”) shall be cancelled and shall cease to exist, and no consideration shall be paid or payable in respect thereof;

(ii) except as provided in Section 1.5(a)(i) and Section 1.6 with respect to Excluded Shares, each share of Company Common Stock that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the First Effective Time (including all shares of Company Restricted Stock) shall be converted into the right to receive, without interest, at the election of the holder thereof in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 1.11 and Section 1.15 (such consideration, the “Merger Consideration”):

(A) for each share of Company Common Stock with respect to which an election to receive cash has been made and not revoked or lost pursuant to Section 1.15 (such share of Company Common Stock, together with any share of Company Common Stock for which an election to receive cash is deemed to have been made under clause (C) below, the “Cash Election Shares”) an amount of cash equal to $1.00, without interest (the “Cash Election Consideration”);

4

(B) for each share of Company Common Stock with respect to which an election to receive stock has been made and not revoked or lost pursuant to Section 1.15 (such share of Company Common Stock, together with any share of Company Common Stock for which an election to receive stock is deemed to have been made under clause (C) below, the “Stock Election Shares”), 0.313 validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of Parent Common Stock (the “Stock Election Consideration”); and

(C) for each share of Company Common Stock with respect to which no election to receive cash or stock has been made, the Cash Election Consideration, the Stock Election Consideration or a combination of both, as provided in Section 1.15 (such shares of Company Common Stock described in this clause (C), the “No Election Shares”).

(iii) each share of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of Acquisition Sub I that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the First Effective Time shall be converted into one validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable share of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Initial Surviving Corporation.

(b) Treatment of Capital Stock in Second Merger. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, at the Second Effective Time, automatically, by virtue of the Second Merger and without any action on the part of Parent, the Initial Surviving Corporation or Acquisition Sub II, each share of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Initial Surviving Corporation issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Second Effective Time shall be cancelled and shall cease to exist. Each limited liability company interest of Acquisition Sub II issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Second Effective Time shall remain outstanding as a limited liability company interest of the Surviving Company.

Section 1.6 Dissenting Shares. Notwithstanding Section 1.5(a)(ii), shares of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the First Effective Time and held by a holder who is entitled to, and has properly exercised and perfected his, her or its demand for, dissenter’s rights under Title 16, Chapter 10a, Part 13 of the Utah Act (“Part 13”) (such shares, the “Dissenting Shares”) shall not be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration, but each holder of such Dissenting Shares shall be entitled to receive such consideration as shall be determined pursuant to Part 13 (it being understood and acknowledged that at the First Effective Time, such Dissenting Shares shall no longer be outstanding, shall automatically be cancelled and shall cease to exist and such holder shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto other than the right to receive the fair value of such Dissenting Shares to the extent afforded by Part 13); provided, however, that if any such holder shall have failed to perfect or shall have effectively withdrawn or lost his or her right to dissent and payment under Part 13 (whether occurring before, at or after the First Effective Time), such holder’s shares of Company Common Stock shall thereupon be deemed to have been converted as of the First Effective Time solely into the right to receive the Merger Consideration as if such shares were No Election Shares, without any interest thereon, and such shares shall not be deemed to be Dissenting Shares. The Company shall give Parent prompt written notice of any demands for payment from holders of shares of Company Common Stock received by the Company, written withdrawals or attempted withdrawals of such demands and any other instruments, notices or demands served on the Company pursuant to Part

5

13. The Company shall not, without the prior written consent of Parent, voluntarily make any payment with respect to, or settle or offer to settle, any such demands, waive any failure to timely deliver a written demand for payment under the Utah Act, or approve any withdrawal of any such demands or agree to do or commit to do any of the foregoing.

Section 1.7 Certain Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if, during the period from the date of this Agreement through the First Effective Time, the outstanding shares of Parent Common Stock or Company Common Stock are changed or converted into a different number or class or series of shares of capital stock by reason of any stock split, division, combination, change, exchange or subdivision of shares, stock dividend, reverse stock split, consolidation of shares, reorganization, reclassification, recapitalization or other similar transaction, or a record date with respect to any such event shall occur during such period, then the Merger Consideration (and, for the avoidance of doubt, the Stock Election Multiplier and the Option Exchange Ratio) shall be adjusted to the extent appropriate to proportionately reflect such change and to otherwise provide the same economic effect to the Company’s shareholders as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such action. Nothing in this Section 1.7 shall be construed to permit the parties to take any action except to the extent consistent with, or not otherwise prohibited by, the terms of this Agreement.

Section 1.8 Treatment of Equity Awards.

(a) Effective as of the First Effective Time, each Company Option held by an individual who, as of immediately after the First Effective Time, constitutes an “employee” of Parent within the meaning of Form S-8, that is outstanding and unexercised, whether vested or unvested, immediately prior to the First Effective Time (each, an “Assumed Company Option”) shall cease to represent a right to acquire shares of Company Common Stock and shall be assumed by Parent and converted automatically into a Parent Option on the same terms and conditions (including applicable vesting, exercise and expiration provisions) as applied to such Assumed Company Option immediately prior to the First Effective Time, except that: (i) the number of shares of Parent Common Stock subject to each Assumed Company Option shall be determined by multiplying: (A) the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Assumed Company Option immediately prior to the First Effective Time; by (B) the Option Exchange Ratio, and rounding such product down to the nearest whole share; (ii) the per share exercise price of each Assumed Company Option shall be determined by dividing: (A) the per share exercise price of the Assumed Company Option immediately prior to the First Effective Time; by (B) the Option Exchange Ratio, and rounding such quotient up to the nearest whole cent, and (iii) the Assumed Company Option shall become fully vested immediately upon the First Effective Time.

(b) Prior to the First Effective Time, the Company shall take all corporate action necessary to provide that each Company Option shall accelerate in full, and all Company Restricted Stock shall become fully vested and the restrictions with respect thereto shall lapse (to the extent not otherwise previously vested in accordance with their terms) as of immediately prior to the First Effective Time.

6

(c) Effective as of the First Effective Time, each Company Option that is not an Assumed Company Option and that is outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the First Effective Time, shall, automatically and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, be cancelled and converted into the right to receive an amount in cash, without interest, equal to the product obtained by multiplying (x) the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to the Company Option, and (y) the excess, if any, of (i) the Cash Election Consideration, over (ii) the per share exercise price of such Company Option, less any applicable taxes and withholding; provided, however, that each such Company Option that is not an Assumed Company Option that has an exercise price per share that is greater than or equal to the Cash Election Consideration shall be cancelled at the First Effective Time for no consideration.

(d) Parent shall take all corporate action necessary to reserve for issuance a sufficient number of shares of Parent Common Stock for delivery with respect to all Assumed Company Options. Parent shall file and cause to be effective as of no later than the First Effective Time, a registration statement under the Securities Act on Form S-8 or other appropriate form under the Securities Act, relating to shares of Parent Common Stock issuable with respect to all Assumed Company Options, and Parent shall use its best efforts to cause such registration statement to remain in effect for so long as such Assumed Company Options remain outstanding.

Section 1.9 No Fractional Shares.

(a) No fractional shares of Parent Common Stock shall be issued in connection with the First Merger, and no certificates or scrip for any such fractional shares shall be issued.

(b) Any holder of Company Common Stock who would otherwise be entitled to receive a fraction of a share of Parent Common Stock pursuant to Section 1.5(a)(ii) (after aggregating all fractional shares of Parent Common Stock otherwise issuable to such holder pursuant to Section 1.5(a)(ii)) shall, in lieu of such fraction of a share and upon surrender of such holder’s certificates representing shares of Company Common Stock outstanding as of immediately prior to the First Effective Time (“Company Stock Certificates”) or book-entry positions representing non-certificated shares of Company Common Stock outstanding as of immediately prior to the First Effective Time (“Company Book-Entry Shares”) in accordance with Section 1.11, be paid in cash the dollar amount (rounded to the nearest whole cent), without interest and subject to any required Tax withholding, determined by multiplying such fraction by the Average Parent Stock Price. No such holder shall be entitled to dividends, voting rights or any other rights in respect of any fractional share of Parent Common Stock that would otherwise have been issuable as part of the Merger Consideration. The payment of cash in lieu of fractional share interests pursuant to this Section 1.9(b) is not a separately bargained-for consideration but merely represents a mechanical rounding-off of the fractions in the exchange.

Section 1.10 Closing of Transfer Books.

At the First Effective Time:

(a) all shares of Company Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the First Effective Time shall automatically be cancelled and shall cease to exist, and all holders of Company Stock Certificates and of Company Book-Entry Shares shall cease to have any rights as shareholders of the Company, except (unless such holder holds Excluded Shares, which are subject to Section 1.5(a)(i) or Section 1.6) the right to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 1.5(a)(ii), cash in lieu of any fractional share of Parent Common Stock pursuant to Section 1.8(b) and any dividends or other distributions pursuant to Section 1.11(f); and

7

(b) the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed with respect to all shares of Company Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the First Effective Time and no further transfer of any such shares of Company Common Stock shall be made on such stock transfer books after the First Effective Time. If, after the First Effective Time, a valid Company Stock Certificate or a Company Book-Entry Share is presented to the Exchange Agent or to the Initial Surviving Corporation, the Surviving Company or Parent, such Company Stock Certificate or Company Book-Entry Share shall be cancelled and shall be exchanged as provided in Section 1.11.

Section 1.11 Exchange of Certificates and Cancellation of Book-Entry Positions.

(a) Prior to the Mailing Date, Parent shall select Parent’s transfer agent or another reputable bank or trust company, in either case, reasonably satisfactory to both Parent and the Company, to act as exchange agent with respect to the Mergers (the “Exchange Agent”). Prior to the First Effective Time, Parent shall cause to be deposited with the Exchange Agent: (i) certificates or evidence of book-entry shares representing the shares of Parent Common Stock issuable pursuant to Section 1.5(a); and (ii) cash sufficient to pay the Cash Election Consideration pursuant to Section 1.5(a) and to make payments in lieu of fractional shares in accordance with Section 1.9(b). The shares of Parent Common Stock and cash amounts so deposited with the Exchange Agent pursuant to this Section 1.11(a), together with any dividends or distributions received by the Exchange Agent with respect to such shares of Parent Common Stock, and any interest or other income with respect to such cash amount, are referred to collectively as the “Exchange Fund.” The Exchange Agent shall invest the cash available in the Exchange Fund as reasonably directed by Parent; provided, that any investment of such cash shall in all events be limited to (w) direct obligations of, or guaranteed by, the U.S. government, (x) in commercial paper rated A-1 or P-1 or better by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. or Standard & Poor’s Corporation, respectively, (y) in certificates of deposit, bank repurchase agreements or banker’s acceptances of commercial banks with capital exceeding $1 billion (based on the most recent financial statements of such bank that are then publicly available) or (z) a money market fund having assets of at least $1 billion; provided, further, that no losses on such investments shall affect the cash payable to former holders of shares of Company Common Stock pursuant to this ARTICLE I (and Parent shall promptly deliver to the Exchange Agent cash in an amount sufficient to replenish any deficiency in the Exchange Fund). The Exchange Fund shall not be used for any purpose that is not expressly provided for in this Agreement.

(b) With respect to Company Stock Certificates, as promptly as reasonably practicable, after the First Effective Time, and in any event within three Business Days thereafter, Parent shall cause the Exchange Agent to mail to each holder of record of each such Company Stock Certificate (i) a notice advising such holder of the effectiveness of the Mergers, (ii) a letter of transmittal in customary form and reasonably acceptable to each of Parent and the Company specifying that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to a Company Stock Certificate shall pass, only upon delivery of the Company Stock Certificate (or affidavit of loss in lieu of a Company Stock Certificate as provided in Section 1.11(e)) to the Exchange Agent (the “Letter of Transmittal”) and (iii) instructions for surrendering a Company Stock Certificate (or affidavit of loss in lieu of a

8

Company Stock Certificate as provided in Section 1.11(e)) to the Exchange Agent. Upon surrender to the Exchange Agent of a Company Stock Certificate (or affidavit of loss in lieu of a Company Stock Certificate as provided in Section 1.11(e)) together with a duly executed and completed Letter of Transmittal and such other documents as may reasonably be required pursuant to such instructions, Parent shall cause the Exchange Agent to mail to each holder of record of any such Company Stock Certificate in exchange therefor, as promptly as reasonably practicable thereafter, (i) a statement reflecting the number of whole shares of Parent Common Stock, if any, that such holder is entitled to receive pursuant to Section 1.5(a) in non-certificated book-entry form in the name of such record holder (subject to Section 1.11(i)) and (ii) a check or wire transfer of immediate funds in the amount (after giving effect to any required Tax withholdings as provided in Section 1.13) of (A) the applicable Cash Election Consideration such holder is entitled to receive pursuant to Section 1.5(a), plus (B) any cash in lieu of fractional shares of Parent Common Stock pursuant to Section 1.9 plus (C) any unpaid cash dividends and any other dividends or other distributions that such holder has the right to receive pursuant to Section 1.11(f). Any Company Stock Certificate that has been so surrendered shall be cancelled by the Exchange Agent.

(c) With respect to Company Book-Entry Shares not held through DTC (each, a “Non-DTC Book-Entry Share”), Parent shall cause the Exchange Agent to pay and deliver to each holder of record of any Non-DTC Book-Entry Share, as promptly as reasonably practicable after the First Effective Time, but in any event within two Business Days thereafter, (i) a statement reflecting the number of whole shares of Parent Common Stock, if any, that such holder is entitled to receive pursuant to Section 1.5(a) in non-certificated book-entry form in the name of such record holder (subject to Section 1.11(i)) and (ii) a check or wire transfer of immediately available funds in the amount (after giving effect to any required Tax withholdings as provided in Section 1.13) of (A) the applicable Cash Election Consideration such holder is entitled to receive pursuant to Section 1.5(a), plus (B) any cash in lieu of fractional shares of Parent Common Stock pursuant to Section 1.9 plus (C) any unpaid cash dividends and any other dividends or other distributions that such holder has the right to receive pursuant to Section 1.11(f), and each Non-DTC Book-Entry Share shall be promptly cancelled by the Exchange Agent. Subject to Section 1.11(i), payment of the Merger Consideration with respect to Non-DTC Book-Entry Shares shall only be made to the Person in whose name such Non-DTC Book-Entry Shares are registered.

(d) With respect to Company Book-Entry Shares held through DTC, prior to the First Effective Time, Parent and the Company shall cooperate to establish procedures with the Exchange Agent and DTC to provide that the Exchange Agent will transmit to DTC or its nominees as promptly as reasonably practicable after the First Effective Time, but in any event within three Business Days thereafter, upon surrender of shares held of record by DTC or its nominees in accordance with DTC’s customary surrender procedures, the Merger Consideration, cash in lieu of fractional shares of Parent Common Stock pursuant to Section 1.9, if any, and any unpaid cash dividends and any other dividends or other distributions, in each case, that such holder has the right to receive pursuant to Section 1.11(f).

(e) In the event that any Company Stock Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, then, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact (in form reasonably acceptable to Parent and the Exchange Agent) by the Person claiming such Company Stock Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and the posting by such Person of a bond in a reasonable and customary amount and upon such terms as may reasonably be required as indemnity against any claim that

9

may be made against it with respect to such Company Stock Certificate, the Exchange Agent will issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Company Stock Certificate, the Merger Consideration, cash in lieu of fractional shares of Parent Common Stock pursuant to Section 1.9, if any, and any unpaid cash dividends and any other dividends or other distributions, in each case, payable or issuable pursuant to Section 1.11(f), as if such lost, stolen or destroyed Company Stock Certificate had been surrendered.

(f) No dividends or other distributions declared or made with respect to Parent Common Stock with a record date after the First Effective Time shall be paid or otherwise delivered to the holder of any unsurrendered Company Stock Certificate or Company Book-Entry Shares, as applicable, with respect to the shares of Parent Common Stock that such holder has the right to receive in the Mergers until the later to occur of: (A) the date on which the holder surrenders such Company Stock Certificate or Company Book-Entry Shares in accordance with this Section 1.11; and (B) the payment date for such dividend or distribution with respect to Parent Common Stock (at which time such holder shall be entitled, subject to the effect of applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar laws, to receive all such dividends and distributions, without interest).

(g) Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains undistributed to holders of Company Stock Certificates or Company Book-Entry Shares as of the date that is one year after the Closing Date shall be delivered to Parent upon demand. Any holders of Company Stock Certificates or Company Book-Entry Shares who have not theretofore surrendered their Company Stock Certificates or Company Book-Entry Shares in accordance with this Section 1.11 shall thereafter be entitled to look to Parent for, and be entitled to receive from Parent, the Merger Consideration pursuant to the provisions of Section 1.5(a), cash in lieu of any fractional shares of Parent Common Stock in accordance with Section 1.9(b) and any dividends or distributions with respect to shares of Parent Common Stock pursuant to Section 1.11(f).

(h) None of Parent, the Initial Surviving Corporation, nor the Surviving Company shall be liable to any holder or former holder of shares of Company Common Stock or to any other Person with respect to any portion of the Merger Consideration delivered to any public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property law, escheat law or other similar Legal Requirement. If any Company Stock Certificate or Company Book-Entry Share has not been surrendered prior to the date on which any portion of the Merger Consideration and any dividends or distributions, in each case, that a holder of such Company Stock Certificates or Company Book-Entry Share has the right to receive pursuant to this ARTICLE I in respect of such Company Stock Certificate or Company Book-Entry Share would otherwise escheat to or become property of any Governmental Entity, any such shares, cash, dividends or distributions in respect of such Company Stock Certificate or Company Book-Entry Share shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirement, become the property of Parent, free and clear of all claims or interests of any Person previously entitled thereto.

(i) In the event of a transfer of ownership of any shares of Company Common Stock that is not registered in the transfer records of the Company, the Exchange Agent may deliver the Merger Consideration (and, to the extent applicable, cash in lieu of fractional shares pursuant to Section 1.9(b) or any dividends or distributions pursuant to Section 1.11(f)) to such transferee if (A) in the case of Company Book-Entry Shares, written instructions authorizing the transfer of the

10

Company Book-Entry Shares are presented to the Exchange Agent, (B) in the case of Company Stock Certificates, the Company Stock Certificates formerly representing such shares of Company Common Stock are surrendered to the Exchange Agent, and (C) the written instructions, in the case of clause (A), and Company Stock Certificates, in the case of clause (B), are accompanied by all documents reasonably required to evidence and effect such transfer and to evidence that any applicable stock transfer Taxes have been paid or are not applicable, in each case, in form and substance, reasonably satisfactory to Parent and the Exchange Agent. If any Merger Consideration is to be delivered to a Person other than the holder in whose name any shares of Company Common Stock are registered, it shall be a condition of such exchange that the Person requesting such delivery shall pay any transfer or other similar Taxes required by reason of the transfer of shares of Parent Common Stock to a Person other than the registered holder of any shares of Company Common Stock, or shall establish to the satisfaction of Parent and the Exchange Agent that such Tax has been paid or is not applicable.

Section 1.12 Further Action. If, at any time after the First Effective Time, any further action is determined by Parent, the Initial Surviving Corporation or the Surviving Company to be necessary to carry out the purposes of this Agreement, the officers and directors of Parent shall (in the name of Acquisition Subs, in the name of the Company or otherwise) be fully authorized to take such action.

Section 1.13 Tax Withholding. Each of Parent, the Exchange Agent, Acquisition Sub I, Acquisition Sub II, the Company and the Initial Surviving Corporation and the Surviving Company, as applicable, shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any amounts otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement any amounts as are required to be deducted and withheld with respect to the making of such payment pursuant to the Code or any other applicable Legal Requirement relating to Taxes. To the extent that amounts are so deducted or withheld and, if required, paid over to the appropriate Governmental Entity, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding were made.

Section 1.14 Proration.

(a) If the product of the aggregate number of Stock Election Shares and the Stock Election Multiplier (such product, the “Aggregate Stock Elections”) exceeds the Maximum Share Amount, then:

(i) all Cash Election Shares and No Election Shares will be exchanged for the Cash Election Consideration; and

(ii) a portion of the Stock Election Shares of each holder thereof will be exchanged for the Stock Election Consideration, with such portion being equal to the product obtained by multiplying (A) the number of such holder’s Stock Election Shares by (B) a fraction, the numerator of which will be the Maximum Share Amount and the denominator of which will be the Aggregate Stock Elections, with the remaining portion of such holder’s Stock Election Shares being exchanged for the Cash Election Consideration.

(ii) all Stock Election Shares will be exchanged for the Stock Election Consideration.

Section 1.15 Election Procedures.

(a) Not less than 30 days prior to the anticipated First Effective Time (the “Mailing Date”), Parent will cause to be mailed to each record holder of shares of Company Common Stock (other than Excluded Shares), including each holder of Company Restricted Stock, as of five Business Days prior to the Mailing Date (or another date selected by Parent which is reasonably acceptable to the Company) an election form in a form mutually satisfactory to Parent and the Company (the “Election Form”).

12

(b) Each Election Form will permit the holder (or the beneficial owner through customary documentation and instructions) of shares of Company Common Stock, including each holder of Company Restricted Stock, to specify (i) the number of shares of Company Common Stock with respect to which such holder elects to receive the Stock Election Consideration, (ii) the number of shares with respect to which such holder elects to receive the Cash Election Consideration or (iii) that such holder makes no election with respect to such holder’s shares of Company Common Stock. Any shares of Company Common Stock with respect to which the Exchange Agent does not receive a properly completed Election Form during the period (the “Election Period”) from the Mailing Date to 5:00 p.m., New York Time, on the Business Day that is three Trading Days prior to the Closing Date or such other date as Parent and the Company will, prior to the Closing, mutually agree (the “Election Deadline”) will be deemed to be No Election Shares. Parent and the Company will publicly announce the anticipated Election Deadline at least five Business Days prior to the anticipated Closing Date. If the Closing Date is delayed to a subsequent date, the Election Deadline shall be similarly delayed to a subsequent date, and Parent and the Company shall promptly announce any such delay and, when determined, the rescheduled Election Deadline. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or therein, each holder of shares of Company Restricted Stock shall be deemed to have elected to receive Cash Election Consideration with respect to a number of such shares sufficient to satisfy withholding obligations with respect thereto, and Parent shall deposit, or cause to be deposited, funds sufficient to pay applicable withholding with respect to such shares of Company Restricted Stock from such Cash Election Consideration.

(c) Any election made pursuant to this Section 1.15 will have been properly made only if the Exchange Agent has actually received a properly completed Election Form during the Election Period. Any Election Form may be revoked or changed by the Person submitting it, by written notice received by the Exchange Agent during the Election Period. In the event an Election Form is revoked during the Election Period, the shares represented by such Election Form will be deemed to be No Election Shares, except to the extent a subsequent election is properly made during the Election Period. Subject to the terms of this Agreement and of the Election Form, the Exchange Agent will have reasonable discretion to determine whether any election, revocation or change has been properly or timely made and to disregard immaterial defects in the Election Forms, and any good faith decisions of the Exchange Agent regarding such matters will be binding and conclusive. None of Parent, the Company or the Exchange Agent will be under any obligation to notify any Person of any defect in an Election Form.

(i) solicit, initiate, knowingly encourage, knowingly induce, knowingly assist or knowingly facilitate any inquiries regarding, or the submission or announcement by any Person (other than Parent or its Affiliates or their respective Representatives) of, any proposal or offer that constitutes, or would reasonably be expected to lead to, any Company Acquisition Proposal (provided, however, that the Company and its Representatives may refer the Person making such proposal or offer to the provisions of this Section 4.2 and make inquiries of a Person making a Company Acquisition Proposal (and its Representatives) to solely clarify the terms of such Company Acquisition Proposal for the purpose of the Company Board informing itself about such Company Acquisition Proposal);

53

(ii) furnish any information regarding the Company or any Company Subsidiary (other than to Parent and the Parent Subsidiaries), or afford access to the Company’s or the Company Subsidiaries’ Representatives, books, records or property, in each case, in connection with, or for the purpose of soliciting, initiating, encouraging or facilitating, or in response to, any inquiry, proposal or offer that constitutes or would reasonably be expected to lead to a Company Acquisition Proposal;

(iii) engage in, enter into, continue or otherwise participate in any discussions or negotiations with any Person (other than Parent or its Representatives) with respect to any Company Acquisition Proposal or any inquiry, proposal or offer that would reasonably be expected to lead to any Company Acquisition Proposal (provided, however, that the Company and its Representatives may refer the Person making any such inquiry, proposal or offer to the provisions of this Section 4.2 and make inquiries of a Person making a Company Acquisition Proposal (and its Representatives) to solely clarify the terms of, such Company Acquisition Proposal for the purpose of the Company Board informing itself about such Company Acquisition Proposal);

(iv) approve, adopt, recommend, agree to or enter into, or publicly propose to approve, adopt, recommend, agree to or enter into, any letter of intent, memorandum of understanding or similar document, agreement, commitment, or agreement in principle with respect to any Company Acquisition Proposal; or

(v) resolve or agree to do any of the foregoing;

provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, prior to obtaining the Required Company Shareholder Vote, the Company and its Representatives may engage or otherwise participate in discussions or negotiations with, and provide information to, any Person (or its Representatives and financing sources and their Representatives) that has made a bona fide written Company Acquisition Proposal after the date hereof that did not result from any material breach of this Section 4.2(a) by the Company if: (I) prior to taking any such action, the Company Special Committee determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel and its financial advisor, that such Company Acquisition Proposal either constitutes a Company Superior Proposal or could reasonably be expected to lead to a Company Superior Proposal; and (II) prior to providing any information regarding the Company or any Company Subsidiary to such third party in response to such Company Acquisition Proposal, the Company enters into (or there is in effect at such time) an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement with such third party. Prior to or substantially concurrently with providing any non-public information to such third party, the Company shall make such non-public information available to Parent (to the extent such non-public information has not been previously made available by the Company to Parent). The Company shall promptly (and in any event within 48 hours following the furnishing of non-public information and/or the Company entering into discussions or negotiations contemplated by this Section 4.2(a)) inform Parent if the Company furnishes non-public information and/or enters into discussions or negotiations as provided for in this Section 4.2(a) and will keep Parent reasonably informed, on a reasonably current basis (and, in any event, within 48 hours of any material development relating to any Company Acquisition Proposal), of the status and material terms of any Company Acquisition Proposal (including any material changes to the material terms thereof) and the status of any material discussions and negotiations with respect thereto.

54

(b) From the date hereof until the earlier to occur of the First Effective Time and the termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, if the Company receives a Company Acquisition Proposal (or notice from any Person that it intends to make a Company Acquisition Proposal) or any inquiry or request for information with respect to a Company Acquisition Proposal or that is reasonably likely to lead to a Company Acquisition Proposal, then the Company shall promptly (and in no event later than 48 hours after its receipt of such Company Acquisition Proposal or request) notify Parent in writing of such Company Acquisition Proposal or request (which notification shall include the identity of the Person making or submitting such request or Company Acquisition Proposal and an unredacted copy of any such written request or proposal (or, if not in writing, the material terms and conditions thereof)), together with copies of any proposed transaction agreements, and the Company shall thereafter keep Parent reasonably informed, on a reasonably current basis (and, in any event, within 48 hours), of the status of such Company Acquisition Proposal, including informing Parent of any material change to the terms of such Company Acquisition Proposal, and the status of any negotiations, including any change in its intentions as previously notified.

(c) Promptly following the execution and delivery of this Agreement (and in any event within 24 hours after the execution and delivery of this Agreement), the Company shall, and shall cause each of the Company Subsidiaries and shall instruct their respective Representatives to, promptly cease and cause to be terminated any existing solicitation of, or discussions or negotiations with, any Person (other than Parent and its Representatives) relating to any Company Acquisition Proposal made prior to the date hereof and any access any such Persons may have to any physical or electronic data room relating to any potential Company Acquisition Proposal.

(d) Any violation of the restrictions contained in this Section 4.2 by any of the Company Subsidiaries or by any director or officer of the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries shall be deemed to be a breach of this Section 4.2 by the Company.

Section 4.3 Registration Statement; Proxy Statement/Prospectus; Schedule 13E-3.

(a) As promptly as reasonably practicable after the date of this Agreement, Parent and the Company shall jointly prepare and cause to be filed with the SEC the Proxy Statement/Prospectus, in preliminary form and the Rule 13e-3 transaction statement on Schedule 13E-3 relating to the Required Company Shareholder Vote and the transactions contemplated hereby (as amended or supplemented, the “Schedule 13E-3”), and Parent shall prepare and cause to be filed with the SEC the Form S-4 Registration Statement, in which the Proxy Statement/Prospectus, in preliminary form, will be included as a prospectus. Each of the parties shall: (i) use reasonable best efforts to cause the Form S-4 Registration Statement, the Proxy Statement/Prospectus and the Schedule 13E-3 to comply in all material respects with all applicable rules, regulations and requirements of the Exchange Act or Securities Act; (ii) promptly notify the other upon receipt of, and cooperate with each other and use reasonable best efforts to respond to, any comments or requests of the SEC or its staff, including for any amendment or supplement to the Form S-4 Registration Statement, the Proxy Statement/Prospectus or the Schedule 13E-3; (iii) promptly provide the other party with copies of all written correspondence and a summary of all

55

oral communications between it or its Representatives, on the one hand, and the SEC or its staff, on the other hand, relating to the Form S-4 Registration Statement, the Proxy Statement/Prospectus or the Schedule 13E-3; (iv) use reasonable best efforts to have the Form S-4 Registration Statement declared effective under the Securities Act as promptly as practicable after it is filed with the SEC; (v) use reasonable best efforts to keep the Form S-4 Registration Statement effective through the Closing in order to permit the consummation of the Mergers; and (vi) cooperate with, and provide the other party with a reasonable opportunity to review and comment in advance on the Form S-4 Registration Statement, the Proxy Statement/Prospectus and the Schedule 13E-3 (including any amendments or supplements to the Form S-4 Registration Statement, the Proxy Statement/Prospectus or the Schedule 13E-3) and any substantive correspondence (including all responses to SEC comments), prior to filing with the SEC or mailing, and shall provide to the other a copy of all such filings or communications made with the SEC, except to the extent such disclosure or communication relates to a Company Acquisition Proposal.

(b) Parent shall advise the Company, promptly after receipt of notice thereof, of the time when the Form S-4 Registration Statement becomes effective or any supplement or amendment has been filed, the issuance of any stop order relating thereto, or the suspension of the shares of Parent Common Stock for offering or sale in any jurisdiction, or any request by the SEC or its staff for any amendment of or supplement to the Form S-4 Registration Statement, the Proxy Statement/Prospectus or the Schedule 13E-3 or comments thereon and responses thereto or requests by the SEC for additional information, and Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts to as promptly as practicable have any stop order relating to the Form S-4 Registration Statement or any such suspension of the shares of Parent Common Stock lifted, reversed or otherwise terminated. The Company shall cause the Proxy Statement/Prospectus to be mailed to the Company’s shareholders as promptly as practicable after the Form S-4 Registration Statement is declared effective under the Securities Act. Each of the parties hereto shall promptly furnish the other parties all information concerning such party, its Subsidiaries, directors, officers and (to the extent reasonably available to such party) shareholders that may be required by applicable Legal Requirements or reasonably requested by the other party or its Representatives in connection with any action contemplated by this Section 4.3. If, at any time prior to obtaining the Required Company Shareholder Vote, any party hereto becomes aware of any information that should be disclosed in an amendment or supplement to the Form S-4 Registration Statement, the Proxy Statement/Prospectus or the Schedule 13E-3 in order to make any statement therein, in the light of the circumstances under which it is made, not false or misleading with respect to a material fact, or in order to avoid the omission of a material fact necessary to make the statements in the Form S-4 Registration Statement, the Proxy Statement/Prospectus or the Schedule 13E-3 not misleading, then such party: (A) shall promptly inform the other party thereof; (B) shall provide the other party (and its counsel) with a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on any amendment or supplement to the Form S-4 Registration Statement or the Proxy Statement/Prospectus prior to it being filed with the SEC, other than such disclosures that relate to a Company Acquisition Proposal; (C) shall provide the other party with a copy of such amendment or supplement promptly after it is filed with the SEC; and (D) if mailing is required by law or otherwise appropriate, shall cooperate in mailing such amendment or supplement to the shareholders of the Company. For purposes of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus, any information concerning or related to the Company, its Affiliates, or the Company Shareholder Meeting will be deemed to have been provided by the Company, and any information concerning or related to Parent or its Affiliates will be deemed to have been provided by Parent.

56

(c) Prior to the First Effective Time, Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts to take all other actions required to be taken under the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder, the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder, or any applicable state securities or “blue sky” laws and the rules and regulations thereunder, in connection with the issuance of Parent Common Stock to be issued in the First Merger, including the Parent Common Stock to be issued upon the exercise of converted Company Options; provided, however, that Parent shall not be required to qualify to do business in any jurisdiction in which it is not now so qualified or file a general consent to service of process in any jurisdiction.

Section 4.4 Meeting of the Company’s Shareholders; Company Change in Recommendation.

(a) The Company: (i) shall take all action necessary under all applicable Legal Requirements and the Company’s Organizational Documents to, in consultation with Parent and as promptly as reasonably practicable after the Form S-4 Registration Statement is declared effective, duly call, give notice of and initially schedule a meeting of the holders of shares of Company Common Stock (the “Company Shareholder Meeting”), which to the extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, shall be within 45 days thereafter, which meeting will be held to vote on (A) a proposal to approve this Agreement; (B) a proposal for a non-binding, advisory vote of the Company’s shareholders to approve certain compensation that may become payable to the Company’s named executive officers in connection with the completion of the Mergers and (C) an adjournment proposal; and (ii) shall submit such proposals to, and, except in the case where the Company Special Committee or the Company Board (acting upon the recommendation of the Company Special Committee) has made a Company Change in Recommendation, use its reasonable best efforts to solicit proxies in favor of the proposal to approve this Agreement from, such holders at the Company Shareholder Meeting, and the Company shall not submit any other proposals to its shareholders in connection with the Company Shareholder Meeting without the prior written consent of Parent. The Company, in consultation with Parent, shall set a record date for determining the Persons entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Company Shareholder Meeting. The Company shall ensure that all proxies solicited in connection with the Company Shareholder Meeting are solicited in compliance with all applicable Legal Requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, (A) the Company shall not postpone or adjourn the Company Shareholder Meeting without the prior written consent of Parent, other than: (1) to the extent reasonably necessary to ensure that any supplement or amendment to the Proxy Statement/Prospectus that the Company Special Committee or the Company Board (acting upon the recommendation of the Company Special Committee) has determined in good faith after consultation with outside counsel is required by applicable Legal Requirements is disclosed to the Company’s shareholders and for such supplement or amendment to be promptly disseminated to the Company’s shareholders within a reasonable amount of time (as determined by the Company Special Committee or the Company Board (acting upon the recommendation of the Company Special Committee) in good faith after consultation with its outside counsel) prior to the Company Shareholder Meeting; (2) if required by applicable Legal Requirement or a request from the SEC or its staff; or (3) if as of the time for which the Company Shareholder Meeting is scheduled there are insufficient shares of Company Common Stock represented (either in person or by proxy) to constitute a quorum necessary to conduct the business to be conducted at the Company Shareholder Meeting; and (B) the Company may, and if Parent so requests at any time shall,

57

postpone or adjourn the Company Shareholder Meeting in order to solicit additional proxies in favor of the approval of this Agreement if, on the date for which the Company Shareholder Meeting is scheduled, there would be insufficient votes to obtain the Required Company Shareholder Vote, whether or not a quorum is present, in which case, except in the case where the Company Special Committee or the Company Board (acting upon the recommendation of the Company Special Committee) has made a Company Change in Recommendation, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts during any such postponement or adjournment to solicit and obtain such proxies in favor of the approval of this Agreement as soon as reasonably practicable; provided that (x) without the prior written consent of Parent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed in the cases of clauses (A)(1) and (A)(2)), no single such adjournment or postponement pursuant to clauses (A) or (B) shall be for more than ten Business Days, except as may be required by applicable Legal Requirements or a request from the SEC or its staff, (y) the Company shall not be required to effect, and Parent shall not be required to consent to, any such adjournments or postponements that together cause the date of the Company Shareholder Meeting to be more than 20 Business Days after the date for which the Company Shareholder Meeting was originally scheduled or, in the case of the foregoing clauses (A)(3) and (B), less than five Business Days prior to the End Date and (z) except as required by Legal Requirements in connection with adjournments or postponements of the Company Shareholder Meeting effected in accordance with the foregoing, in no event shall the Company change the record date for determining the shareholders entitled to notice of and to vote at the Company Shareholder Meeting without Parent’s consent. Upon written request by Parent (which shall not exceed one request per day), the Company shall, during the ten Business Days prior to the date of the Company Shareholder Meeting, advise Parent as to the aggregate number of shares of Company Common Stock entitled to vote at the Company Shareholder Meeting for which proxies have been received by the Company with respect to the Required Company Shareholder Vote and the number of such proxies authorizing the holder thereof to vote in favor of the Required Company Shareholder Vote.

(b) Subject to Section 4.4(c), the Proxy Statement/Prospectus shall include the Company Board Recommendation and the Company Special Committee Recommendation. Neither the Company Board nor any committee thereof, including the Company Special Committee, shall, except as otherwise expressly permitted by this Agreement: (i) withhold, withdraw, modify, amend or qualify (or publicly propose to withdraw, modify, amend or qualify), in a manner adverse to Parent or Acquisition Subs, the Company Board Recommendation and the Company Special Committee Recommendation, or fail to include the Company Board Recommendation and the Company Special Committee Recommendation in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus; (ii) approve, adopt, recommend or declare advisable (or publicly propose to do so) any Company Acquisition Proposal; (iii) fail to publicly announce, within ten Business Days after a tender offer or exchange offer relating to the equity securities of the Company shall have been commenced by any third party other than Parent and its Affiliates (and in no event later than one Business Day prior to the date of the Company Shareholder Meeting, as it may be postponed or adjourned pursuant to Section 4.4(a)), a statement disclosing that the Company Special Committee and/or the Company Board recommends rejection of such tender or exchange offer (for the avoidance of doubt, the taking of no position or a neutral position by the Company Special Committee or the Company Board in respect of the acceptance of any such tender offer or exchange offer as of the end of such period shall constitute a failure to publicly announce that the Company Special Committee or the Company Board, as applicable, recommends rejection of such tender or exchange offer); or (iv) if requested by Parent, fail to issue, within ten Business Days

58

after a Company Acquisition Proposal is publicly announced (and in no event later than one Business Day prior to the date of the Company Shareholder Meeting, as it may be postponed or adjourned pursuant to Section 4.4(a)), a press release reaffirming the Company Board Recommendation and the Company Special Committee Recommendation, provided, however, that the Company must receive the request from Parent at least 48 hours prior to such reaffirmation being required; provided, further, that in no event shall the Company, the Company Special Committee or the Company Board be obligated to publicly reaffirm the Company Board Recommendation or the Company Special Committee Recommendation on more than one occasion with respect to each such publicly announced Company Acquisition Proposal or on more than one occasion with respect to each publicly announced material modification thereof (any action described in clauses (i) through (iv) being referred to as a “Company Change in Recommendation”); (v) cause or permit the Company to enter into any Contract, letter of intent, memorandum of understanding, agreement in principle or other arrangement or understanding (other than an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement entered into in compliance with Section 4.2(a)) contemplating or relating to a Company Acquisition Transaction; (vi) take any action to make the provisions of any anti-takeover or similar statute or regulation inapplicable to any Company Acquisition Proposal or counterparty thereto; or (vii) publicly propose to do any of the foregoing.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, at any time prior to obtaining the Required Company Shareholder Vote, the Company Special Committee or the Company Board (acting upon the recommendation of the Company Special Committee), as applicable, may make a Company Change in Recommendation related to a Company Acquisition Proposal and/or terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 6.1(f) if (x) the Company receives from a third party a bona fide written Company Acquisition Proposal after the date of this Agreement that did not result from a material Willful Breach of Section 4.2(a), and has not been withdrawn, and (y) prior to making such Company Change in Recommendation or terminating this Agreement in accordance with Section 6.1(f):

(i) the Company Special Committee or the Company Board (acting upon the recommendation of the Company Special Committee) determines in good faith, after consultation with the Company’s outside legal counsel and its financial advisor, that such Company Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Company Superior Proposal and that failure to take such action would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with their fiduciary duties under applicable Legal Requirements;

(ii) the Company delivers to Parent a written notice (the “Company Superior Proposal Notice”) no less than four Business Days in advance stating that the Company Special Committee or the Company Board (acting upon the recommendation of the Company Special Committee), as applicable, intends to make a Company Change in Recommendation or terminate this Agreement, which such Company Superior Proposal Notice shall include the identity of the Person making such Company Acquisition Proposal and a copy of such proposal and a draft of the definitive agreement to be entered into in connection therewith (or, if not in writing, the material terms and conditions thereof); and

59

(iii) (A) during the four Business Day period commencing on the date of Parent’s receipt of such Company Superior Proposal Notice, if requested by Parent, the Company engages in good faith negotiations with Parent regarding a possible amendment of this Agreement so that the Company Acquisition Proposal that is the subject of the Company Superior Proposal Notice ceases to be a Company Superior Proposal; and (B) after the expiration of the negotiation period described in clause (A) above, the Company Special Committee or the Company Board (acting upon the recommendation of the Company Special Committee) determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel and its financial advisor, and after taking into account any amendments to this Agreement that Parent and each Acquisition Sub have committed in writing to make as a result of the negotiations contemplated by clause (A) above and in a manner that would be binding upon Parent and each Acquisition Sub if accepted by the Company, that such Company Acquisition Proposal continues to constitute a Company Superior Proposal; provided, that if there is any change to any of the financial terms or any other material terms of such Company Acquisition Proposal, the Company shall, in each case, be required to deliver to Parent an additional notice consistent with that described in clause (ii) above and a new negotiation period under clause (A) above shall commence (except that the original four Business Day notice period referred to in clause (A) above shall instead be equal to the longer of (1) 11:59 p.m. New York Time on the second Business Day immediately following Parent’s receipt of such notice, and (2) the period remaining under the original four Business Day notice period of clause (A) above), during which time the Company shall be required to comply with the requirements of Section 4.4(c)(iii) anew with respect to such additional notice (but substituting the time periods therein with the foregoing two Business Day period). The actions of the Company Special Committee or the Company Board, as applicable, making a determination that a Company Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Company Superior Proposal and the Company’s authorizing and providing the notices to Parent required by this Section 4.4(c) shall not, in and of itself, constitute a Company Change in Recommendation, a violation of this Section 4.4, or a termination of this Agreement.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, at any time prior to obtaining the Required Company Shareholder Vote, the Company Special Committee or the Company Board (acting upon the recommendation of the Company Special Committee), as applicable, may make a Company Change in Recommendation that is not related to a Company Acquisition Proposal if there is any state of fact, event, change, effect, circumstance, occurrence or development, or combination thereof, (I) that (x) was neither known to nor reasonably foreseeable by the Company Special Committee as of the date of this Agreement (or, if known to or reasonably foreseeable by the Company Special Committee, the consequences of which were neither known to nor reasonably foreseeable by the Company Special Committee as of the date of this Agreement) and (y) is material to the Company and the Company Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, and (II) that is not related to (A) a Company Acquisition Proposal or a Company Superior Proposal or any inquiry or communications relating thereto, any matter relating thereto or consequences thereof, (B) in each case in and of itself, any changes in the market price or trading volume of Company Common Stock or the fact that the Company meets, fails to meet or exceeds any internal or published projections, forecasts or estimates of its revenue, earnings or other financial performance or results of operations for any period (it being understood, however, that any underlying cause of any of the foregoing may be taken into account unless excluded pursuant to clauses (A) or (C)), or (C) any event, condition or circumstance related to Parent or any of the Parent Subsidiaries (any such state of fact, event, change, effect, circumstance, occurrence,

60

development, condition, circumstance, or combination thereof, being referred to as a “Company Intervening Event”); and, prior to making such Company Change in Recommendation, (1) the Company Special Committee or the Company Board (acting upon the recommendation of the Company Special Committee), as applicable, determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel and its financial advisor, that, in light of such Company Intervening Event, a failure to effect a Company Change in Recommendation by the Company Special Committee or the Company Board, as applicable, would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with their fiduciary duties under applicable Legal Requirements; (2) less than four Business Days prior to the making of such Company Change in Recommendation, Parent receives a written notice from the Company confirming that the Company Special Committee or the Company Board (acting upon the recommendation of the Company Special Committee), as applicable, intends to effect such Company Change in Recommendation, specifying the reasons therefor in reasonable detail; (3) during such four Business Day period, if requested by Parent, the Company engages in good faith negotiations with Parent to amend this Agreement in such a manner that obviates the need for the Company Special Committee or the Company Board (acting upon the recommendation of the Company Special Committee), as applicable, to effect a Company Change in Recommendation; and (4) following the end of such four Business Day period, the Company Special Committee or the Company Board, as applicable, determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel and financial advisor and after taking into account any amendments to this Agreement that Parent and each Acquisition Sub have committed in writing to make as a result of the negotiations contemplated by clause (3) above and in a manner that would be binding upon Parent and each Acquisition Sub if accepted by the Company, that, in light of such Company Intervening Event, a failure to effect a Company Change in Recommendation would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with the Company Special Committee’s or the Company Board’s, as applicable, fiduciary duties under applicable Legal Requirements, even if such changes committed to in writing were to be given effect. The actions of the Company Special Committee or Company Board, as applicable, making a determination that a Company Intervening Event has occurred and the Company’s authorizing and providing the notices to Parent required by this Section 4.4(d) shall not, in and of itself, constitute a Company Change in Recommendation or a violation of this Section 4.4.

(e) Notwithstanding any Company Change in Recommendation, unless this Agreement has been earlier terminated in accordance with Section 6.1, this Agreement shall be submitted to the holders of shares of Company Common Stock at the Company Shareholder Meeting for the purpose of voting on the approval of this Agreement and nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to relieve the Company of such obligation.

(f) Nothing contained in this Agreement shall prohibit the Company, the Company Board or a committee thereof, including the Company Special Committee or their respective Representatives, from (i) taking and disclosing to the shareholders of the Company a position contemplated by Rule 14e-2, Rule 14d-9 or Item 1012 of Regulation M-A promulgated under the Exchange Act or issuing a “stop, look and listen” statement to the shareholders of the Company pursuant to Rule 14d-9(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act pending disclosure of its position thereunder or (ii) directing any Person (or the Representative of that Person) who makes a Company Acquisition Proposal to the provisions of this Section 4.4; provided, however, that in the case of either clause (i) or clause (ii), no such communication or statement that would constitute a Company Change in Recommendation shall be permitted, made or taken except in accordance with Section 4.4(c) or Section 4.4(d).

61

(g) Any violation of the restrictions contained in this Section 4.4 by any of the Company Subsidiaries or by any director or officer of the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries shall be deemed to be a breach of this Section 4.4 by the Company.

Section 4.5 Filings; Other Action.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each of the parties hereto shall cooperate with the other and use (and shall cause their respective Subsidiaries to use) their respective reasonable best efforts to: (i) take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and do, or cause to be done, all things, necessary to cause the conditions to Closing to be satisfied as promptly as reasonably practicable (and in any event no later than the End Date) and to consummate and make effective, as promptly as practicable, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including preparing and filing promptly and fully all documentation to effect all necessary filings, notifications, notices, petitions, statements, registrations, submissions of information, applications and other documents that are or may become necessary in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; (ii) obtain as promptly as reasonably practicable (and in any event no later than the End Date) all approvals, consents, clearances, expirations or terminations of waiting periods, registrations, permits, authorizations and other confirmations from any Governmental Entity or third party that are or may become necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; (iii) obtain all necessary consents, approvals or waivers from third parties.

(b) Each party hereto shall use their respective reasonable best efforts to file, as soon as practicable and advisable after the date of this Agreement, all notices, reports and other documents required to be filed by such party with any Governmental Entity with respect to the Mergers and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and to submit as promptly as reasonably practicable any additional information requested by any such Governmental Entity.

(c) Parent and the Company each shall promptly supply the other with any information that may be required in order to effectuate any filings (including applications) pursuant to (and to otherwise comply with its obligations set forth in) Section 4.5(a) and Section 4.5(b). Each of Parent and the Company, as it deems advisable and necessary, may reasonably designate competitively sensitive material provided to the other as “outside counsel only” or with similar restrictions. Each of Parent and the Company may also reasonably redact material as necessary to (i) comply with other contractual arrangements or applicable Legal Requirements or (ii) prevent the loss of protection under the attorney-client privilege or the attorney work product doctrine but shall use commercially reasonable efforts to allow for such disclosure (or as much of it as possible) in a manner that does not result in a violation of contractual arrangements, or Legal Requirements, or a loss of attorney-client privilege. Such materials and the information contained therein shall be given only to the outside legal counsel of the recipient, or otherwise as the restriction indicates, and be subject to any additional confidentiality or joint defense agreement between the parties hereto. Except where prohibited by applicable Legal Requirements or any Governmental Entity, each of Parent and the Company shall: (i) consult with the other in good faith prior to taking a position with respect to any filing required or advisable pursuant to Section 4.5(a) and Section

62

4.5(b); (ii) permit the other to review and discuss in advance, and consider in good faith the views of the other in connection with, any analyses, appearances, presentations, memoranda, letters, responses to requests, briefs, white papers, arguments, opinions and proposals before making or submitting any of the foregoing to any Governmental Entity by or on behalf of any party hereto in connection with any such filing or any Legal Proceeding in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby; (iii) coordinate with the other in preparing and exchanging such information; (iv) promptly provide the other party’s counsel with copies of all filings, notices, analyses, presentations, memoranda, letters, responses to requests, briefs, white papers, opinions, proposals and other submissions (and a summary of any oral presentations) made or submitted by such party with or to any Governmental Entity in connection with any filing required by Section 4.5(a) and Section 4.5(b) in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby; and (v) consult with the other party in advance of any meeting, video conference or teleconference with any Governmental Entity or, in connection with any proceeding by a private party, with any other Person, and, to the extent not prohibited by the Governmental Entity or other Person, give the other party the opportunity to attend and participate in such meetings, video conferences and teleconferences.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, without the prior written consent of Parent, neither the Company nor any of the Company Subsidiaries will grant or offer to grant any accommodation or concession (financial or otherwise) to any third party in connection with seeking or obtaining its consent to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Section 4.6 Access.

(c) In the event there is any tax opinion, comfort letter or other opinion in respect of Tax consequences of or related to the Mergers required to be filed with the SEC in connection with the filing of the Form S-4 Registration Statement, (i) to the extent such opinion relates to Parent, its equityholders immediately prior to the Closing or the Acquisition Subs, Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause its tax advisors to provide such opinion, subject to customary assumptions and limitations, and (ii) to the extent such opinion relates to the Company or the shareholders of the Company immediately prior to the Closing, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause its tax advisors or tax advisors to the Company Special Committee to provide such opinion, subject to customary assumptions and limitations. Each party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to execute and deliver customary Tax representation letters to the applicable tax advisor in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such advisor. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the parties hereto shall not take any action nor fail to take any action if such action or such failure is intended or is reasonably likely to prevent, cause a failure of, or impede the Intended Tax Treatment.

The parties hereto further agree that the valuation of the Parent Trading Price by reference to the methodology described in this Section 4.10(f) is intended to qualify for the “Safe Harbor Valuation Method” within the meaning of Section 4.01(1) of Rev. Proc. 2018-12 and no party hereto shall take any position for U.S. federal income Tax purposes inconsistent therewith, except to the extent otherwise required pursuant to a “determination” within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code.

All rights to indemnification and advancement conferred hereunder shall continue as to a Person who has ceased to be a director, officer or employee of the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries after the date hereof and shall inure to the benefit of such Person’s heirs, successors, executors and personal and legal Representatives.

(b) For a period of no less than six years following the First Effective Time, Parent and the Surviving Company shall cause to be maintained in effect the existing policy of the Company’s directors’ and officers’ liability insurance (or a comparable replacement policy) (the “D&O Policy”) covering claims arising from facts or events that occurred at or prior to the First Effective Time (including for acts or omissions occurring in connection with this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) and covering each of the Company’s current and former directors and officers, in any case on terms with respect to coverage and amounts that are no less favorable than those terms in effect on the date of this Agreement; provided, however, that in no event shall Parent or the Surviving Company be required to expend

Notwithstanding anything in this Section 4.11 to the contrary, if any Indemnified Party notifies Parent on or prior to the sixth anniversary of the First Effective Time of a matter in respect of which such Person may seek indemnification pursuant to this Section 4.11, the provisions of this Section 4.11 that require Parent and the Surviving Company to indemnify and advance expenses shall continue in effect with respect to such matter until the final disposition of all claims, actions, investigations, suits and proceedings relating thereto.

(c) The obligations under this Section 4.11 shall not be terminated, amended or otherwise modified in such a manner as to adversely affect any Indemnified Party (or any other Person who is a beneficiary under the D&O Policy or the “tail” policy referred to in Section 4.11(b) or any of such Person’s heirs, executors, beneficiaries or representatives) without the prior written consent of such affected Indemnified Party or other Person who is a beneficiary under the D&O Policy or the “tail” policy referred to in Section 4.11(b) (and, after the death of any of the foregoing Persons, such Person’s heirs, executors, beneficiaries or representatives).

In the event of any breach by the Surviving Company or Parent of this Section 4.11, Parent or the Surviving Company shall pay all reasonable expenses, including attorneys’ fees, that may be incurred by the Indemnified Parties in enforcing the indemnity and other obligations provided in this Section 4.11 as such fees are incurred upon the written request of such Indemnified Party.

70

other Person, then in each case, to the extent necessary to protect the rights of the Indemnified Parties and other Persons who are beneficiaries under the D&O Policy or the “tail” policy referred to in Section 4.11(b) (and their respective heirs and representatives), proper provision shall be made so that the continuing or surviving corporation or entity or the purchaser or transferee entity, as applicable (or its successors or assigns, if applicable) shall assume the obligations set forth in this Section 4.11.

Section 7.9 Severability. Any term or provision of this Agreement that is invalid or unenforceable in any situation in any jurisdiction shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions hereof or the validity or enforceability of the offending term or provision in any other situation or in any other jurisdiction. If the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction declares that any term or provision hereof is invalid or unenforceable, the parties hereto agree that the court making such determination shall have the power to limit the term or provision, to delete specific words or phrases or to replace any invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, and this Agreement shall be enforceable as so modified. In the event such court does not exercise the power granted to it in the prior sentence, the parties hereto agree to replace such invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a valid and enforceable term or provision that will achieve, to the extent possible, the economic, business and other purposes of such invalid or unenforceable term.

Section 7.10 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed and delivered (including by electronic transmission, including .PDF and email) in one or more counterparts, and by the different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when executed shall be deemed to be an original but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. The exchange of a fully executed Agreement (in counterparts or otherwise) by electronic delivery shall be sufficient to bind the parties hereto to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. To the extent applicable, the foregoing constitutes the election of the parties hereto to invoke any Law authorizing electronic signatures.

Section 7.11 Specific Performance. Each of the parties hereto agrees 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, and that monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy therefor. It is accordingly agreed that, in addition to any other remedy that a party hereto may have under law or in equity, in the event of any breach or threatened breach by Parent, either Acquisition Sub or the Company of any covenant or obligation of such party contained in this Agreement, the other parties shall be entitled to obtain: (i) an Order of specific performance to enforce the observance and performance of such covenant, including consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; and (ii) an injunction restraining such breach or threatened breach. In the event that any action is brought in equity to

83

enforce the provisions of this Agreement, no party hereto shall allege, and each party hereto hereby waives the defense or counterclaim, that there is an adequate remedy at law. Each party hereto further agrees that no other party hereto or any other Person shall be required to obtain, furnish or post any bond or similar instrument in connection with or as a condition to obtaining any remedy referred to in this Section 7.11, and each party hereto irrevocably waives any right it may have to require the obtaining, furnishing or posting of any such bond or similar instrument.

Section 7.12 Disclosure Schedules.

(a) The Company Disclosure Schedule has been arranged, for purposes of convenience only, in separate sections and subsections corresponding to the Sections and subsections of ARTICLE II and, as applicable, ARTICLE IV and Exhibit A.
