2.7 Effect on Capital Stock.

(a) Capital Stock. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, at the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or the holders of any of the following securities, the following will occur:

(i) each share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of Merger Sub that is outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time will be converted into one validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock of the Surviving Corporation, and each certificate representing ownership of such shares of common stock of Merger Sub will thereafter represent ownership of shares of common stock of the Surviving Corporation;

(ii) each share of Company Common Stock that is (A) held by the Company as treasury stock; (B) owned by Parent or Merger Sub; or (C) owned by any direct or indirect wholly owned Subsidiary of Parent or Merger Sub as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (collectively, the “Owned Company Shares”) will automatically be cancelled and will cease to exist without any conversion thereof or consideration paid in exchange therefor; and

(iii) each share of Company Common Stock that is issued and outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than Owned Company Shares and Dissenting Company Shares, if any) will be automatically converted into the right to receive cash in an amount equal to $9.46, without interest thereon (the “Per Share Price”), in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.9 (or in the case of a lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, upon delivery of an affidavit (and bond, if required) in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.11).

(b) Adjustment to the Per Share Price. The Per Share Price will be adjusted appropriately to fully reflect the effect of any stock split, reverse stock split, stock distribution or dividend (including any dividend or other distribution of securities convertible into Company Common Stock), reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, combination, exchange of shares or other similar change with respect to the Company Common Stock occurring on or after the date of this Agreement and prior to the Effective Time.

(c) Statutory Rights of Appraisal.

(i) Dissenting Company Shares. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, all shares of Company Common Stock that are issued and outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time and held by a Company Stockholder, who has (A) neither voted in favor of the Merger nor consented to the Merger in writing and (B) properly demanded appraisal of such shares of Company Common Stock pursuant to, and in accordance with, Section 262 of the DGCL (such shares being referred to collectively as the “Dissenting Company Shares”) will not be converted into, or represent the right to receive, the Per Share Price pursuant to this Section 2.7 but instead, such Company Stockholder holding or owning the

-28-

Dissenting Company Shares will be entitled only to such rights as are granted by Section 262 of the DGCL. Such Company Stockholder will be entitled to receive payment of the appraised value of such Dissenting Company Shares in accordance with the provisions of Section 262 of the DGCL. However, if, after the Effective Time, such holder or other applicable Person fails to perfect, effectively withdraws or waives, or otherwise loses such Person’s right to appraisal of such Dissenting Company Shares pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL or a court of competent jurisdiction determines that such Person is not entitled to the relief provided by Section 262 of the DGCL, such shares of Company Common Stock will be deemed to have been converted into, and to have become exchangeable for, as of the Effective Time, the right to receive the Per Share Price in accordance with this Agreement and will not thereafter be deemed to be Dissenting Company Shares.

(ii) Notification of Parent of Demands for Appraisal. The Company will give Parent (A) prompt notice of any demands for appraisal received by the Company, withdrawals of such demands and any other instruments served pursuant to the DGCL and received by the Company in respect of any Dissenting Company Shares; and (B) the opportunity to participate in all negotiations and Legal Proceedings with respect to demands for appraisal pursuant to the DGCL in respect of any Dissenting Company Shares. The Company may not, except with the prior written consent of Parent, voluntarily make any payment with respect to any demands for appraisal or settle or offer to settle any such demands for payment in respect of any Dissenting Company Shares. For purposes of this Section 2.7(c)(ii), “participate” means that Parent will be kept apprised of proposed strategy and other significant decisions with respect to demands for appraisal pursuant to the DGCL in respect of any Dissenting Company Shares (to the extent that the attorney-client privilege between the Company and its counsel is not undermined or otherwise affected) and may offer comments or suggestions with respect to such demands, but Parent will not be afforded any decision-making power or other authority over such demands except for the payment, settlement or compromise consent set forth above.

2.8 Equity Awards.

(a) Company RSUs.

(i) Vested Company RSUs. At the Effective Time, each outstanding restricted stock unit (a “Company RSU”) under the applicable Company Equity Plan that is vested at the Effective Time (but not yet settled) or that vests as a result of the consummation of transactions contemplated by this Agreement (a “Vested Company RSU”) will, automatically and without any required action on the part of the holder thereof, be cancelled and converted solely into the right to receive an amount in cash (without interest) equal to (x) the total number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Vested Company RSU immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by (y) the Per Share Price, less applicable Taxes required to be withheld with respect to such payment (the “Vested Company RSU Consideration”).

-29-

(ii) Unvested Company RSUs. At the Effective Time, each outstanding Company RSU under the applicable Company Equity Plan that is not a Vested Company RSU (an “Unvested Company RSU”) will, automatically and without any required action on the part of the holder thereof, be cancelled and converted solely into the contingent right to receive from Parent or the Surviving Corporation an aggregate amount in cash (without interest) (each, a “Converted Cash Award”) equal to (x) the total number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Unvested Company RSU immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by (y) the Per Share Price, less applicable Taxes required to be withheld with respect to such payment. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 2.8, each such Converted Cash Award assumed and converted pursuant to this Section 2.8 will continue to have, and will be subject to, the same vesting terms and conditions (including acceleration provisions upon a qualifying termination of employment (if any)) as applied to the corresponding Company RSU immediately prior to the Effective Time, with payment forfeited to the extent vesting is not satisfied.

(b) Company Restricted Stock. At the Effective Time, each outstanding share of Company Restricted Stock under the applicable Company Equity Plan (excluding shares of Company Restricted Stock that vest immediately prior to or as of the Effective Time including as a result of the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) will, automatically and without any required action on the part of the holder thereof, be cancelled and converted into the contingent right to receive from Parent or the Surviving Corporation a Converted Cash Award equal to (x) the total number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such outstanding Company Restricted Stock award immediately prior to the Effective Time (as determined in accordance with the applicable award agreement) multiplied by (y) Per Share Price, less applicable Taxes required to be withheld with respect to such payment. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 2.8, each such Converted Cash Award assumed and converted pursuant to this Section 2.8 will continue to have, and will be subject to, the same vesting terms and conditions (including acceleration provisions upon a qualifying termination of employment (if any)) as applied to the corresponding Company Restricted Stock award immediately prior to the Effective Time, with payment forfeited to the extent vesting is not satisfied.

(c) Company Options.

(i) Vested Company Options. At the Effective Time, each outstanding option to purchase shares of Company Common Stock (a “Company Option”) under the applicable Company Equity Plan that is vested at the Effective Time (a “Vested Company Option”) will, automatically and without any required action on the part of the holder thereof, be cancelled and converted into the right to receive (without interest) an amount in cash, equal to (x) the total number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to the Vested Company Option multiplied by (y) the excess, if any, of the Per Share Price over the exercise price per share of Company Common Stock under such Vested Company Option, less applicable Taxes required to be withheld with respect to such payment (the “Vested Company Option Consideration”). For the avoidance of doubt, any Company Option (whether vested or unvested) that has a per Share exercise price that is greater than or equal to the Per Share Price (an “Underwater Option”) will be cancelled at the Effective Time for no consideration or payment.

(ii) Unvested Company Options. At the Effective Time, each outstanding Company Option under the applicable Company Equity Plan that is not a Vested Company Option or an Underwater Option (an “Unvested Company Option”) will, automatically and without any required action on the part of the holder thereof, be cancelled and converted into the contingent right to receive from Parent or the Surviving Corporation a Converted Cash Award

-30-

equal to (x) the total number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Unvested Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by (y) the excess of the Per Share Price over the exercise price per share of Company Common Stock under such Unvested Company Option, less applicable Taxes required to be withheld with respect to such payment. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 2.8, each such Converted Cash Award assumed and converted pursuant to this Section 2.8 will continue to have, and will be subject to, the same vesting terms and conditions (including acceleration provisions upon a qualifying termination of employment (if any)) as applied to the corresponding Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time.

(d) Payment Procedures. At or prior to the Effective Time, Parent will deposit (or cause to be deposited) with the Company, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, the aggregate amount owed to holders of Vested Company Options and Vested Company RSUs with respect to such Vested Company Options and Vested Company RSUs (as applicable). As promptly as reasonably practicable following the Closing Date, but in no event later than the first regularly scheduled payroll date following the Closing Date (or, if such date is within three Business Days of the Closing Date, the second regularly scheduled payroll date following the Closing Date), the applicable former holders of Vested Company Options and Vested Company RSUs will receive a payment from the Surviving Corporation, through its payroll system or payroll provider, of the Vested Company Option Consideration and Vested Company RSU Consideration required to be paid to such former holders pursuant to this Section 2.8. To the extent required by Section 409A of the Code, any distributions to holders of a Converted Cash Award must be made prior to the date that is five (5) years following the Effective Time and otherwise in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(i)(5)(iv)(A). The Surviving Corporation will pay any portion of a Converted Cash Award that vests to the applicable holder thereof no later than the first regularly scheduled payroll date following the date on which such portion vests (or, if such date is within three Business Days of the Closing Date, the second regularly scheduled payroll date following the Closing Date) (but in no event later than December 31 of the year in which the Converted Cash Award vested) and any portion of a holder’s Converted Cash Award that remains unvested (after giving effect to any applicable vesting acceleration terms), as of the date of his or her termination of employment or service, if any, shall be permanently forfeited by such holder and such holder shall have no further rights in or claims to any such forfeited portion of his or her Converted Cash Award.

(e) Necessary Further Actions. The Company will take all action within its power and authority reasonably necessary to effect the cancellation of Company Equity Awards as of the Effective Time and to give effect to this Section 2.8 (including the satisfaction of the requirements of Rule 16b-3(e) promulgated under the Exchange Act). All Company Equity Awards and all Company Equity Plans will terminate as of the Effective Time (but subject to the consummation of the Merger).

(f) Treatment of Employee Stock Purchase Plan. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company will take all action that the Company determines to be reasonably necessary to, effective upon the consummation of the Merger, (i) cause any offering period or purchase period under the ESPP that otherwise would be outstanding at the Effective Time to be terminated no later than the Closing Date, but prior to the Effective Time; (ii) make any adjustments that may be

-31-

necessary or advisable to reflect the shortened offering period or purchase period, but otherwise treat such shortened offering period or purchase period as a fully effective and completed offering period or purchase period for all purposes pursuant to the ESPP; (iii) cause the exercise (as of no later than the Closing Date, but prior to the Effective Time) of each outstanding purchase right pursuant to the ESPP; and (iv) provide that no further offering period or purchase period will commence pursuant to the ESPP upon or after the Effective Time. On such exercise date, the Company will apply the funds credited as of such date pursuant to the ESPP within each participant’s account to the purchase of whole shares of Company Common Stock in accordance with the terms of the ESPP.

2.9 Exchange of Certificates.

(a) Payment Agent. Prior to the Closing, Parent will (i) select a bank or trust company reasonably acceptable to the Company to act as the payment agent for the Merger (the “Payment Agent”); and (ii) enter into a payment agent agreement, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Company, with such Payment Agent.

(b) Exchange Fund. At or prior to the Closing, Parent will deposit (or cause to be deposited) with the Payment Agent, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, for payment to the holders of shares of Company Common Stock pursuant to Section 2.7, an amount of cash equal to the aggregate consideration to which such holders of Company Common Stock become entitled pursuant to Section 2.7. Until disbursed in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, such cash will be invested by the Payment Agent, as directed by Parent or the Surviving Corporation, in (i) obligations of or fully guaranteed by the United States or any agency or instrumentality thereof and backed by the full faith and credit of the United States with a maturity of no more than 30 days; (ii) commercial paper obligations rated A 1 or P 1 or better by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. or Standard & Poor’s Corporation, respectively; or (iii) certificates of deposit, bank repurchase agreements or banker’s acceptances of commercial banks with capital exceeding $10,000,000,000 (based on the most recent financial statements of such bank that are then publicly available) (such cash and any proceeds thereon, the “Exchange Fund”). To the extent that (A) there are any losses with respect to any investments of the Exchange Fund; (B) the Exchange Fund diminishes for any reason below the level required for the Payment Agent to promptly pay the cash amounts contemplated by Section 2.7; or (C) all or any portion of the Exchange Fund is unavailable for Parent (or the Payment Agent on behalf of Parent) to promptly pay the cash amounts contemplated by Section 2.7 for any reason, then Parent will, or will cause the Surviving Corporation to, promptly replace or restore the amount of cash in the Exchange Fund so as to ensure that the Exchange Fund is at all times fully available for distribution and maintained at a level sufficient for the Payment Agent to make the payments contemplated by Section 2.7. Any interest or other income from investment of the Exchange Fund will be payable to Parent or the Surviving Corporation, as Parent directs.

-32-

(c) Exchange and Payment Procedures.

(i) Certificated Shares. Promptly following the Effective Time (and in any event within one Business Day), Parent and the Surviving Corporation will cause the Payment Agent to mail to each holder of record (as of immediately prior to the Effective Time) of a certificate that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding shares of Company Common Stock (other than Dissenting Company Shares and Owned Company Shares) (the “Certificates”) whose shares of Company Common Stock were converted into the right to receive the consideration payable in respect thereof pursuant to Section 2.7, (A) a letter of transmittal in customary form (which will specify that delivery will be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates will pass, only upon delivery of the Certificates to the Payment Agent (or affidavit of loss in lieu of a Certificate as provided in Section 2.11)); and (B) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates in exchange for the consideration payable in respect thereof pursuant to Section 2.7. Upon surrender to the Payment Agent of a Certificate (or affidavit of loss in lieu of a Certificate as provided in Section 2.11) for cancellation, together with such letter of transmittal, duly completed and validly executed, in accordance with the terms of such materials and instructions, the holder of such Certificate will be entitled to receive in exchange for the number of shares represented by such Certificate (and Parent will cause the Payment Agent to pay and deliver in exchange therefor as promptly as practicable) an amount in cash (less any applicable withholding Taxes payable in respect thereof) equal to the product obtained by multiplying (1) the aggregate number of shares of Company Common Stock represented by such Certificate by (2) the Per Share Price. The Certificate so surrendered will be cancelled. The Payment Agent will accept Certificates upon compliance with such reasonable terms and conditions as the Payment Agent may impose to cause an orderly exchange thereof in accordance with customary exchange practices. No interest will be paid or accrued for the benefit of any holder of Certificates on the amount payable upon the surrender of such Certificates pursuant to this Section 2.9(c)(i). Until so surrendered, the Certificates will be deemed from and after the Effective Time to evidence only the right to receive the consideration payable in respect thereof pursuant to Section 2.7.

(ii) Uncertificated Shares. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, any holder of shares of Company Common Stock held in book-entry form (the “Uncertificated Shares”) will not be required to deliver a Certificate or an executed letter of transmittal to the Payment Agent to receive the consideration payable in respect thereof pursuant to Section 2.7. In lieu thereof, each holder of record (as of immediately prior to the Effective Time) of an Uncertificated Share that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented an outstanding share of Company Common Stock (other than Dissenting Company Shares and Owned Company Shares) whose shares of Company Common Stock were converted into the right to receive the consideration payable in respect thereof pursuant to Section 2.7 will, upon receipt of an “agent’s message” in customary form (it being understood that the holders of Uncertificated Shares will be deemed to have surrendered such Uncertificated Shares upon receipt of an “agent’s message” or such other evidence, if any, as the Payment Agent may reasonably request) at the Effective Time, be entitled to receive (and Parent will cause the Payment Agent to pay and deliver as promptly as practicable) an amount in cash (less any applicable withholding Taxes payable in respect thereof) equal to the product obtained by multiplying (A) the aggregate number of shares of Company Common Stock represented by such holder’s transferred Uncertificated Shares by (B) the Per Share Price. The Uncertificated Shares so surrendered will be cancelled. The Payment Agent will accept transferred Uncertificated Shares upon compliance with such reasonable terms and conditions as the Payment Agent may impose to cause an orderly exchange thereof in accordance with customary exchange practices. No interest will be paid or accrued for the benefit of any holder of Uncertificated Shares on the amount payable upon the surrender of such Uncertificated Shares pursuant to this Section 2.9(c)(ii). Until so surrendered, Uncertificated Shares will be deemed from and after the Effective Time to evidence only the right to receive the consideration payable in respect thereof pursuant to Section 2.7.

-33-

(d) DTC Payment. Prior to the Effective Time, Parent and the Company will cooperate to establish procedures with the Payment Agent and DTC with the objective that (i) if the Closing occurs at or prior to 11:30 a.m., Eastern time, on the Closing Date, then the Payment Agent will transmit to DTC or its nominees on the Closing Date an amount in cash, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, equal to the product obtained by multiplying (A) the number of shares of Company Common Stock (other than Owned Company Shares and Dissenting Company Shares) held of record by DTC or such nominee immediately prior to the Effective Time by (B) the Per Share Price (such amount, the “DTC Payment”); and (ii) if the Closing occurs after 11:30 a.m., Eastern time, on the Closing Date, then the Payment Agent will transmit the DTC Payment to DTC or its nominees on the first Business Day after the Closing Date.

(e) Transfers of Ownership. If a transfer of ownership of shares of Company Common Stock is not registered in the stock transfer books or ledger of the Company, or if the consideration payable is to be paid in a name other than that in which the Certificates surrendered or transferred in exchange therefor are registered in the stock transfer books or ledger of the Company, then the aggregate consideration payable pursuant to Section 2.7 may be paid to a Person other than the Person in whose name the Certificate so surrendered or transferred is registered in the stock transfer books or ledger of the Company only if such Certificate is properly endorsed and otherwise in proper form for surrender and transfer and the Person requesting such payment has paid to Parent (or any agent designated by Parent) any transfer Taxes required by reason of the payment of the Per Share Price to a Person other than the registered holder of such Certificate, or established to the satisfaction of Parent (or any agent designated by Parent) that such transfer Taxes have been paid or are otherwise not payable. Payment of the consideration payable with respect to Uncertificated Shares will only be made to the Person in whose name such Uncertificated Shares are registered.

(f) Escheat. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, none of the Payment Agent, Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any other Party will be liable to a Company Stockholder for any amount properly paid to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law. If any Certificates or Uncertificated Shares have not been surrendered immediately prior to the date on which any cash in respect of such Certificate or Uncertificated Share would otherwise escheat to or become the property of any Governmental Authority, then any such cash in respect of such Certificate or Uncertificated Share will, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, become the property of Parent, free and clear of all claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.

(g) Distribution of Exchange Fund to Parent. Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains undistributed to the holders of the Certificates or Uncertificated Shares on the date that is one year after the Effective Time will be delivered to Parent upon demand, and any holders of shares of Company Common Stock that were issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time who have not theretofore surrendered or transferred their Certificates or Uncertificated Shares representing such shares of Company Common Stock for exchange pursuant to this Section 2.9 will thereafter look for payment of the Per Share Price payable in respect of the shares of Company Common Stock represented by such Certificates or Uncertificated Shares solely to Parent (subject to abandoned property, escheat or similar Laws), solely as general creditors thereof, for any claim to the Per Share Price to which such holders may be entitled pursuant to Section 2.7.

-34-

2.10 No Further Ownership Rights in Company Common Stock. From and after the Effective Time, (a) all shares of Company Common Stock will no longer be outstanding and will automatically be cancelled and cease to exist; and (b) each holder of a Certificate or Uncertificated Shares previously representing any shares of Company Common Stock will cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the consideration payable therefor in accordance with Section 2.7 (or in the case of Dissenting Company Shares, the rights pursuant to Section 2.7(c)). The consideration paid in accordance with the terms of this Article II upon conversion of any shares of Company Common Stock will be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such shares of Company Common Stock. From and after the Effective Time, there will be no further registration of transfers on the records of the Surviving Corporation of shares of Company Common Stock that were issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, other than transfers to reflect, in accordance with customary settlement procedures, trades effected prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates or Uncertificated Shares are presented to the Surviving Corporation for any reason, they will (subject to compliance with the exchange procedures of Section 2.9(c)) be cancelled and exchanged as provided in this Article II.

2.11 Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. In the event that any Certificates have been lost, stolen or destroyed, the Payment Agent will issue in exchange therefor, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the holder thereof, the Per Share Price payable in respect thereof pursuant to Section 2.7. Parent or the Payment Agent may, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the payment of such Per Share Price, require the owners of such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificates to deliver a bond in such amount as it may direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against Parent, the Surviving Corporation or the Payment Agent with respect to the Certificates alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.

2.12 Required Withholding. Each of the Payment Agent, Parent, the Company and the Surviving Corporation, or any Subsidiary of Parent, the Company or the Surviving Corporation, will be entitled to deduct and withhold from any amounts payable pursuant to this Agreement to any Person such amounts as are required to be deducted or withheld therefrom pursuant to any applicable Laws related to Taxes. To the extent that such amounts are so deducted or withheld and timely paid over to the appropriate Governmental Authority, such amounts will be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of whom such deduction and withholding was made.

2.13 Necessary Further Actions. If, at any time after the Effective Time, any further action is determined by Parent to be necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement or to vest the Surviving Corporation with the full right, title and possession of and to all rights and property of Merger Sub and the Company, then the officers and directors of the Surviving Corporation and Parent will be fully authorized (in the name of Merger Sub, in the name of the Company, and otherwise) to take such action.

(h) Except as would not reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect, each Company Employee Plan has been established, maintained and operated in accordance with its terms and in compliance with all applicable Laws, including ERISA and the Code. Any Company Employee Plan intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code and each trust intended to be qualified under Section 501(a) of the Code has obtained a favorable determination letter (or opinion letter, if applicable) as to its qualified status under the Code and, to the Knowledge of the Company, no event has occurred since the date of the most recent determination that would reasonably be expected to adversely affect such qualification. Each Foreign Company Plan intended to qualify for special tax treatment satisfies in all material respects the requirements for such treatment.

Except as would not reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect, the fair market value of the assets of each funded Foreign Company Plan, the liability of each insurer for any Foreign Company Plan funded through insurance, or the book reserve established for any Foreign Company Plan, together with any accrued contributions, is sufficient to procure or provide in full for the accrued benefit obligations, with respect to all current and former participants in such Foreign Company Plan according to the reasonable actuarial assumptions and valuations most recently used to determine employer contributions to and obligations under such Foreign Company Plan, and none of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement will cause any such assets or insurance obligations to be less than such benefit obligations.

(k) Except as set forth in Section 3.16(k) of the Company Disclosure Letter, and except as expressly required or provided by this Agreement, neither the execution of this Agreement nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement will (either alone or in combination with another event, whether contingent or otherwise): (i) result in any payment (whether of bonus, change in control, retention, severance pay or otherwise), acceleration, forgiveness of indebtedness, vesting, distribution, increase in benefits or obligation to fund benefits with respect to any Company Associate; (ii) create any limitation or restriction on the right of any Acquired Company to merge, amend or terminate any Company Employee Plan or Company Employee Agreement; or (iii) entitle any Company Associate to terminate their employment or engagement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no amount payable to any Company Associate as a result of the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (either alone or in combination with any other event) would be an “excess parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G or would be nondeductible under Section 280G of the Code. None of the Acquired Companies has any obligation to compensate any Company Associate for any Taxes incurred by such Company Associate under Section 4999 of the Code.

The Company Board has received the opinion of Qatalyst Partners, to the effect that, as of the date hereof, and based upon and subject to the various qualifications, assumptions, limitations and other such matters considered in the preparation therein, the Per Share Price to be received pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of this Agreement by the holders of Company Common Stock (other than Parent, Merger Sub and their respective Affiliates) is fair, from a financial point of view, to such holders.

-65-

and the lenders party thereto (the “Debt Commitment Letters” and, together with the Equity Commitment Letter, the “Financing Letters”) pursuant to which the lenders party thereto (the “Debt Financing Sources”) have committed, subject to the terms and conditions thereof, to lend the amounts set forth therein for the purpose of funding a portion of the aggregate value of the Merger (the “Debt Financing” and, together with the Equity Financing, the “Financing”). Parent has also delivered to the Company a true, correct and complete copy of any fee letter (which may be delivered with the fee amounts and “flex” terms redacted in a customary manner so long as no redaction covers terms that would adversely affect the amount, conditionality, availability or termination of the Debt Financing) in connection with the Debt Commitment Letters (collectively, “Fee Letters”). The Equity Commitment Letter provides that (A) the Company is an express third party beneficiary thereof in connection with the Company’s exercise of its rights under Section 9.10(b); (B) subject in all respects to Section 9.10(b), Parent and the Equity Financing Sources have waived any defenses to the enforceability of such third party beneficiary rights; and (C) Parent and the Equity Financing Sources will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief in connection with the exercise by Company of such third party beneficiary rights.

(b) No Amendments.

There are no Contracts, agreements, side letters or arrangements to which Parent or Merger Sub is a party relating to the funding, investing or use, as applicable, of the full amount of the Financing, other than as expressly set forth in the Financing Letters and any Fee Letters.

(c) Sufficiency of Financing. The aggregate amounts committed pursuant to the Financing Letters are sufficient to (after netting out applicable fees, expenses, original issue discount and similar premiums and charges and after giving effect to the maximum amount of “flex” (including original issue discount “flex”) provided under the Financing Letters and the Fee Letters) (i) make all payments contemplated by this Agreement in connection with the Merger (including the payment of all amounts payable pursuant to Article II in connection with or as a result of the Merger); (ii) repay, prepay or discharge (after giving effect to the Merger) the principal of and interest on, and all other indebtedness outstanding pursuant to, the Credit Agreement, subject to and including any cash collateral required in connection with letters of credit issued under the Credit Agreement that will remain outstanding after the Closing Date; and (iii) pay all fees and expenses required to be paid at the Closing by the Company, Parent, Merger Sub or any of their respective Affiliates in connection with the Merger and the Financing.

(d) Solvency. Assuming the accuracy of each of the Company’s representations in Article III at and after the Closing, Parent and the Company and its Subsidiaries (on a consolidated basis) will, after giving effect to the Merger, including the funding of the Financing and payment of all other amounts required to be paid in connection with the consummation of the Merger, including the payment of all related fees and expenses, be Solvent at and immediately

-66-

after the Closing. The term “Solvent” shall mean, with respect to a particular date, that on such date, (i) the sum of the assets, at a fair valuation, of Parent and the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries (on a consolidated basis) will exceed their debts, (ii) Parent and, after the Closing, Parent and the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries (on a consolidated basis) has not incurred and does not intend to incur, and does not believe that it will incur, debts beyond its ability to pay such debts as such debts mature, and (iii) Parent has and, after the Closing, the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries (on a consolidated basis) will have, sufficient capital and liquidity with which to conduct its business. For purposes of this Section 4.10(d), “debt” means any liability on a claim, and “claim” means any (i) right to payment, whether or not such a right is reduced to judgment, liquidated, unliquidated, fixed, contingent, matured, unmatured, disputed, undisputed, legal, equitable, secured or unsecured, and (ii) any right to an equitable remedy for breach of performance if such breach gives rise to a payment, whether or not such right to an equitable remedy is reduced to judgment, fixed, contingent, matured, unmatured, disputed, undisputed, secured or unsecured.

(e) Validity; No Contrary Expectation. The Financing Letters and the Fee Letters (each in the forms delivered by Parent to the Company) are in full force and effect and constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of Parent, Merger Sub and the other parties thereto (including, with respect to the Equity Commitment Letter, the Equity Financing Sources), as applicable, enforceable against Parent, Merger Sub and the other parties thereto, as applicable, in accordance with their terms, except, in each case, as enforcement may be limited by Enforceability Exceptions. Other than as expressly set forth in the Financing Letters and the Fee Letters, there are no conditions precedent or other contingencies related to the funding of the full proceeds of the Financing (including any “flex” provisions) pursuant to any agreement relating to the Financing to which the Equity Financing Sources, Parent, Merger Sub or any of their respective Affiliates is a party. As of the date of this Agreement, neither Parent, Merger Sub, any Equity Financing Source nor, to the knowledge of Parent, any other party to the Financing Letters, as applicable, has committed any breach of any of its covenants or other obligations set forth in, or is in default under, any of the Financing Letters. As of the date of this Agreement, to the knowledge of Parent, no event has occurred or circumstance exists that (with or without notice or lapse of time, or both) would, or would reasonably be expected to, (i) constitute or result in a breach or default on the part of any Person under any of the Financing Letters or the Fee Letters; (ii) constitute or result in a failure to satisfy any of the terms or conditions set forth in any of the Financing Letters or the Fee Letters; (iii) make any of the assumptions or any of the statements set forth in the Financing Letters inaccurate in any material respect; or (iv) otherwise result in any portion of the Financing not being available. As of the date of this Agreement, Parent has no reason to believe (both before and after giving effect to any “flex” provisions in the Debt Commitment Letters or the Fee Letters) that (A) it will be unable to satisfy on a timely basis any term or condition of the Financing to be satisfied by it, whether or not such term or condition is contained in the Financing Letters or the Fee Letters; or (B) the full amounts committed pursuant to the Financing Letters will not be available as of the Closing if the terms or conditions contained in the Financing Letters to be satisfied by it are satisfied. As of the date of this Agreement, Parent and Merger Sub have fully paid, or caused to be fully paid, all commitment or other fees, expenses, premiums and charges that are due and payable on or prior to the date of this Agreement pursuant to the terms of the Financing Letters and the Fee Letters. Other than as set forth in the Financing Letters, there are no conditions precedent related to the funding or investing, as applicable, of the full amount of the Financing.

-67-

(f) No Exclusive Arrangements. As of the date of this Agreement, none of the Guarantors, the Equity Financing Sources, Parent, Merger Sub, or any of their respective Affiliates has entered into any Contract, arrangement or understanding (i) awarding any agent, broker, investment banker or financial advisor any financial advisory role on an exclusive basis in connection with the Merger; or (ii) prohibiting or seeking to prohibit any bank, investment bank or other potential provider of debt financing from providing or seeking to provide debt financing or financial advisory services to any Person in connection with a transaction relating to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with the Merger.

4.11 Absence of Stockholder and Management Arrangements. As of the date of this Agreement, other than this Agreement, the Voting Agreements and the Confidentiality Agreement, none of Parent, Merger Sub, the Guarantors, the Equity Financing Sources, or any of their respective Affiliates is a party to any Contract, or has authorized, made or entered into, or committed or agreed to enter into, any formal or informal arrangements or other understandings (whether or not binding) with any stockholder, director, officer, manger, member, employee or Affiliate of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (a) relating to (i) this Agreement or the Merger; or (ii) the Surviving Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries, businesses or operations (including as to continuing employment) from and after the Effective Time; or (b) pursuant to which any (i) holder of Company Common Stock would be entitled to receive consideration of a different amount or nature than the Per Share Price in respect of such holder’s shares of Company Common Stock; (ii) holder of Company Common Stock has agreed to approve this Agreement or vote against any Superior Proposal; or (iii) Person other than the Guarantors and the Equity Financing Sources has agreed to provide, directly or indirectly, an equity investment to Parent, Merger Sub or the Company to finance any portion of the Merger.

4.12 No Foreign Person. Each of Parent and Merger Sub is not, and is not controlled by, a “foreign person” (as defined in the DPA). No “foreign person” (as defined in the DPA) affiliated with Parent, Merger Sub, the Equity Financing Sources or the Guarantors, whether affiliated as a limited partner or otherwise (each an “Affiliated Foreign Person”), will obtain as a result of the Merger any DPA Triggering Rights if (1) it would require a mandatory filing under the DPA or (2) such Affiliated Foreign Person is a Sanctioned Person. At the conclusion of the Merger, no party or collection of parties in which the national or subnational governments of a single foreign state have a “substantial interest” will hold a “substantial interest” in the Company, as each of those terms are defined in the DPA.

4.13 No Other Representations. Parent and Merger Sub acknowledge that: (a) except for the representations and warranties expressly set forth in Article III and in the certificate delivered pursuant to Section 7.2(c), neither the Company nor any of the other Acquired Companies (or any other Person) makes, or has made, any representation or warranty relating to the Acquired Companies or any of their businesses or operations in connection with this Agreement or the Merger; and (b) the representations and warranties made by the Company in Article III and in the certificate delivered pursuant to Section 7.2(c) are in lieu of and are exclusive of all other representations and warranties made by the Company, including any express or implied warranties

Any of the individuals in Section 5.3(a) of the Company Disclosure Letter may grant consent on behalf of Parent.

5.4 No Solicitation of Acquisition Proposals.

(a) No Solicitation. Subject to Section 5.4(b), following the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Company will, and will cause its Subsidiaries and the executive officers and directors of the Company, and will instruct its legal and financial advisors and use reasonable best efforts to cause each of its other Representatives (other than its non-controlled Affiliates that are not directors, officers or employees of the Company) to, cease and cause to be terminated any discussions or negotiations with, and terminate any data room access (or other access to diligence) of, any Person and its Representatives relating to, or that would reasonably be expected to lead to, an Acquisition Transaction. Unless the Company has already so requested, promptly following the date of this Agreement, the Company will request that each Person (other than Parent and its Representatives) that has executed a confidentiality agreement in connection with its consideration of an Acquisition Transaction promptly return or destroy, in accordance with

-73-

the terms of such confidentiality agreement, all non-public information furnished to such Person by or on behalf of the Company or its Subsidiaries prior to the date of this Agreement. Subject to Section 5.4(b), during the Pre-Closing Period, the Company and its Subsidiaries, and the directors and executive officers of the Company, will not, and the Company will not authorize or direct any of its or its Subsidiaries’ other Representatives to, directly or indirectly, (i) solicit, initiate, propose or induce the making, submission or announcement of, or knowingly encourage, facilitate or assist, any proposal that constitutes, or is reasonably expected to lead to, an Acquisition Proposal; (ii) furnish to any Person or Group (other than Parent, Merger Sub or any of their respective Representatives) any information relating to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or afford to any Person or Group (other than Parent, Merger Sub or any of their respective Representatives) access to the business, properties, assets, books, records or other non-public information, or to any personnel, of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, in any such case in connection with any Acquisition Proposal or with the intent to induce the making, submission or announcement of, or to knowingly encourage, facilitate or assist, an Acquisition Proposal or the making of any proposal that would reasonably be expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal; (iii) participate, engage in or knowingly facilitate discussions or negotiations with any Person or Group with respect to an Acquisition Proposal or with respect to any inquiries from third Persons relating to the making of an Acquisition Proposal; (iv) approve, endorse or recommend any proposal that constitutes, or is reasonably expected to lead to, an Acquisition Proposal; (v) enter into any letter of intent, memorandum of understanding, merger agreement, acquisition agreement or other Contract relating to an Acquisition Transaction, other than, in each case, an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement (any such letter of intent, memorandum of understanding, merger agreement, acquisition agreement or other Contract relating to an Acquisition Transaction, an “Alternative Acquisition Agreement”); or (vi) authorize or commit to do any of the foregoing. Following the date of this Agreement, the Company will not be required to enforce, and will be permitted to waive, any “standstill” provision in any confidentiality agreement to the extent that such provision prohibits or purports to prohibit a confidential proposal being made to the Company Board, if the Company has determined in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisor and outside legal counsel, that failure to take such action would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties pursuant to applicable Law.

(b) Permitted Conduct Related to Certain Proposals. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5.4, from the date of this Agreement until the Company’s receipt of the Requisite Stockholder Approval, the Company and the Company Board (or a committee thereof) may, directly or indirectly through one or more of their respective Representatives (including Qatalyst Partners), discuss, negotiate and enter into an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement and, subject to an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement, (i) participate or engage in other discussions or negotiations with; (ii) furnish any non-public information relating to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to, (iii) afford access to the business, properties, assets, books, records or other non-public information, or to any personnel, of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to; or (iv) otherwise facilitate the making of a Superior Proposal by, in each case, any Person or Group or their respective Representatives that has made, renewed or delivered to the Company an Acquisition Proposal after the date of this Agreement that was not solicited in material breach of Section 5.4(a). The Company and the Company Board (or a committee thereof) may only take the actions contemplated by the preceding sentence (including the initial negotiation of

-74-

an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement) if the Company Board (or a committee thereof) has determined in good faith (after consultation with its financial advisor and outside legal counsel) that (A) such Acquisition Proposal either constitutes a Superior Proposal or is reasonably likely to lead to a Superior Proposal and (B) the failure to take the actions contemplated by this Section 5.4(b) would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties pursuant to applicable Law.

(c) No Company Board Recommendation Change or Entry into an Alternative Acquisition Agreement. Except as provided by Section 5.4(d), at no time after the date of this Agreement may the Company Board (or a committee thereof):

(i) (A) withhold, withdraw, amend, qualify or modify, or publicly propose to withhold, withdraw, amend, qualify or modify, the Company Board Recommendation in a manner adverse to Parent; (B) adopt, approve or recommend an Acquisition Proposal; (C) fail to publicly reaffirm the Company Board Recommendation within 10 Business Days of the occurrence of a material event or development and after Parent so requests in writing (or, if the Company Stockholder Meeting is scheduled to be held within 10 Business Days, then within one Business Day after Parent so requests in writing) (it being understood that the Company will not be obligated to affirm the Company Board Recommendation on more than two occasions (other than in connection with the first public announcement of an Acquisition Proposal that is not or will not be a tender or exchange offer)); (D) make any recommendation in connection with a tender or exchange offer, other than a recommendation against such offer or the issuance of a “stop, look and listen” communication by the Company Board (or a committee thereof) to the Company Stockholders pursuant to Rule 14d-9(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act (or any substantially similar communication) (it being understood that the Company Board (or a committee thereof) may refrain from taking a position with respect to an Acquisition Proposal until 2:29 p.m. (California time) on the 10th Business Day after the commencement of a tender or exchange offer in connection with such Acquisition Proposal without such action being considered a violation of this Section 5.4); or (E) fail to include the Company Board Recommendation in the Proxy Statement (any action described in clauses (A) through (E), a “Company Board Recommendation Change”), it being understood that none of (1) the determination in itself by the Company Board (or a committee thereof) that an Acquisition Proposal constitutes, or is reasonably likely to lead to, a Superior Proposal or (2) the delivery, in itself, by the Company to Parent or its Representatives of any notice contemplated by Section 5.4(d) will constitute a Company Board Recommendation Change or violate this Section 5.4; or

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

(d) Permissible Company Board Recommendation Change and Entry into Alternative Acquisition Agreement.

(i) Intervening Events. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, at any time prior to obtaining the Requisite Stockholder Approval, other than in connection with an Acquisition Proposal, the Company Board (or a committee thereof) may effect a Company Board Recommendation Change in response to an Intervening Event if and only if:

-75-

(2) the Company has provided prior written notice to Parent at least five Business Days (the “Event Notice Period”) in advance to the effect that the Company Board (or a committee thereof) has (A) so determined and (B) resolved to effect a Company Board Recommendation Change pursuant to this Section 5.4(d)(i), which notice will specify in reasonable detail the basis for such Company Board Recommendation Change and will describe the Intervening Event in reasonable detail;

(3) prior to effecting such Company Board Recommendation Change, the Company and its Representatives, until 5:00 p.m. (California time) on the last day of the Event Notice Period, have (A) negotiated with Parent and its Representatives in good faith (to the extent that Parent requests to negotiate) to make such adjustments to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Transaction Documents so that the Company Board (or a committee thereof) no longer determines in good faith that the failure to make a Company Board Recommendation Change in response to such Intervening Event would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties pursuant to applicable Law; and (B) permitted Parent and its Representatives to make a presentation to the Company Board regarding this Agreement and any adjustments with respect thereto (to the extent that Parent requests to make such a presentation); and

(4) following the Event Notice Period, the Company Board (or a committee thereof) (after consultation with its financial advisor and outside legal counsel and taking into account Parent’s proposed revisions to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Transaction Documents) has determined that the failure of the Company Board (or a committee thereof) to make a Company Board Recommendation Change would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties pursuant to applicable Law, it being understood that each time that material modifications or developments with respect to the Intervening Event occur (as reasonably determined by the Company Board in good faith), the Company shall notify Parent of such modification and the time period set forth in the preceding clause (2) shall recommence and be extended for three Business Days from the later of (i) the delivery of such written notice to Parent or (ii) the end of the original Event Notice Period.

(ii) Superior Proposals. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, at any time prior to obtaining the Requisite Stockholder Approval, if the Company has received a written Acquisition Proposal that the Company Board (or a committee thereof) has concluded in good faith (after consultation with its financial advisor and outside legal counsel) is a Superior Proposal, then the Company Board may (A) effect a Company Board Recommendation Change with respect to such Superior Proposal or (B) authorize the Company to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(h) to enter into an Alternative Acquisition Agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal, in each case if and only if:

-76-

(1) the Company Board (or a committee thereof) determines in good faith (after consultation with its financial advisor and outside legal counsel) that the failure to take such action would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties pursuant to applicable Law;

(2) the Company has complied in all material respects with its obligations pursuant to this Section 5.4 with respect to such Acquisition Proposal;

(3) the Company has provided prior written notice to Parent at least five Business Days in advance (the “Notice Period”) to the effect that the Company Board (or a committee thereof) has (A) received a written Acquisition Proposal that has not been withdrawn; (B) concluded in good faith (after consultation with its financial advisor and outside legal counsel) that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal; and (C) resolved to effect a Company Board Recommendation Change or to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(h), which notice will describe the basis for such Company Board Recommendation Change or termination, including the identity of the Person or Group making such Acquisition Proposal and the material terms of such Acquisition Proposal and will include copies of final, execution ready versions of all applicable documents relating to such Acquisition Proposal; and

(4) prior to effecting such Company Board Recommendation Change or termination, the Company and its Representatives, until 5:00 p.m. (California time) on the last day of the Notice Period, have (A) negotiated with Parent and its Representatives in good faith (to the extent that Parent requests to negotiate) to make such adjustments to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Transaction Documents so that such Acquisition Proposal would cease to constitute a Superior Proposal; and (B) permitted Parent and its Representatives to make a presentation to the Company Board regarding this Agreement and any adjustments with respect thereto (to the extent that Parent requests to make such a presentation), it being understood that (a) in the event of any material revision, amendment, update or supplement to such Acquisition Proposal, the Company will be required to deliver a new written notice to Parent and to comply with the requirements of this Section 5.4(d)(ii)(4) with respect to such new written notice (with the “Notice Period” in respect of such new written notice being three Business Days); and (b) following the Notice Period, the Company Board (or a committee thereof) must have in good faith (after consultation with its financial advisor and outside legal counsel and taking into account Parent’s proposed revisions to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Transaction Documents) reaffirmed its determination that such Acquisition Proposal is a Superior Proposal.

(e) Notice to Parent of Acquisition Proposals. During the Pre-Closing Period, the Company will promptly (and, in any event, within 24 hours from the receipt thereof) notify Parent in writing if to the Knowledge of the Company, an Acquisition Proposal is received by the Company or any of its Representatives or any non-public information is requested from, or any discussions or negotiations are sought to be initiated or continued with, the Company or any of its Representatives, which requests, discussions or negotiations would reasonably be expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal. Such notice must include (A) the identity of the Person or Group

-77-

making such proposal or request (unless such disclosure is prohibited pursuant to the terms of any confidentiality agreement with such Person or Group that is in effect on the date of this Agreement); (B) a summary of the material terms and conditions of such proposal or request and, if in writing, a copy thereof; and (C) copies of any material agreements, documents or other written materials submitted in connection therewith. Thereafter, the Company must keep Parent reasonably informed, on a prompt basis (and in any event within 24 hours of any material development with respect to, or material amendment of such, proposal or request), of the status and terms of any such proposal (including any amendments thereto) and the status of any such discussions or negotiations, including providing copies of any new or amended material agreements, documents or other written materials submitted in connection therewith. During the Pre-Closing Period, the Company will promptly (and in any event within 48 hours) make available to Parent any non-public information concerning the Company and its Subsidiaries that is provided to any such Person or Group or its Representatives that was not previously made available to Parent or its Representatives.

(f) Permitted Disclosures by the Company and the Company Board. So long as the Company Board (or a committee thereof) expressly reaffirms the Company Board Recommendation in such public disclosure (other than in a customary “stop, look and listen” communication to the Company Stockholders pursuant to Rule 14d-9 promulgated under the Exchange Act), and without limiting or otherwise adversely affect the obligations of the Company or the Company Board (or any committee thereof) and the rights of Parent under this Section 5.4 or otherwise permitting the Company or the Company Board (or any committee thereof) to effect a Company Board Recommendation Change other than in accordance with Section 5.4(d):

(i) nothing in this Agreement will prohibit the Company or the Company Board (or a committee thereof) from (A) taking and disclosing to the Company Stockholders a position contemplated by Rule 14e-2(a) promulgated under the Exchange Act or complying with Rule 14d-9 promulgated under the Exchange Act, including making a “stop, look and listen” communication by the Company Board (or a committee thereof) to the Company Stockholders pursuant to Rule 14d-9(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act (or any substantially similar communication); (B) complying with Item 1012(a) of Regulation M-A promulgated under the Exchange Act; or (C) making any disclosure to the Company Stockholders (including regarding the business, financial condition or results of operations of the Acquired Companies) that the Company Board (or a committee thereof), after consultation with its outside legal counsel, has determined in good faith is required by applicable Law; and

-78-

(g) Breach of No-Solicitation Obligations by Representatives of the Company. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary herein, the Company agrees that if (i) any Subsidiary, director or executive officer of the Company takes any action or (ii) it authorizes, directs or is made aware of an action by one of its other Representatives and does not use its reasonable best efforts to prohibit or terminate such action, and, in each case, such action would constitute a material breach of this Section 5.4 if taken by the Company during the Pre-Closing Period, then such action will be deemed to constitute a breach by the Company of this Section 5.4.

5.5 No Control of the Other Party’s Business. The Parties acknowledge and agree that the restrictions set forth in this Agreement are not intended to give Parent or Merger Sub, on the one hand, or the Company, on the other hand, directly or indirectly, the right to control or direct the business or operations of the other at any time prior to the Effective Time. Prior to the Effective Time, each of Parent and the Company will exercise, consistent with the terms, conditions and restrictions of this Agreement, complete control and supervision over their respective businesses and operations.

Each of Parent and Merger Sub (and their respective Affiliates, including their “ultimate parent entity” as that term is defined in the HSR Act and its implementing regulations (“UPE”), if applicable), on the one hand, and the Company (and its Affiliates, if applicable), on the other hand, will use (and will cause its respective Affiliates, including their UPE, if applicable, to use) their respective reasonable best efforts to (x) file a Notification and Report Form relating to this Agreement and the Merger as required by the HSR Act with the FTC and the Antitrust Division of the DOJ within 10 Business Days following the date of this Agreement (unless Parent and the Company agree to file such form at a later date) and (y) as promptly as reasonably practicable submit all notification filings, forms and submissions with any Governmental Authority pursuant to any other Antitrust Laws and each Foreign Direct Investment Law specified in Section 7.1(d) of the Company Disclosure Letter (a “Specified Foreign Direct Investment Law”). Each of Parent and the Company will (and will cause each of its respective Representatives, as applicable, to) (A) cooperate and coordinate with the other in the making of such filings; (B) use its respective reasonable best efforts to supply the other (or cause the other to be supplied) any information that may be required in order to make such filings; (C) use its respective reasonable best efforts to supply (or cause the other to be supplied) with any additional information that reasonably may be required or requested by the FTC, the DOJ or the Governmental Authorities of any other applicable jurisdiction in which any such filing is made; and (D) use its respective reasonable best efforts to take all action necessary to, as soon as reasonably practicable, cause the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting periods pursuant to the HSR Act and to receive consent, approval or clearance, or the expiration of any applicable waiting periods, under any other Antitrust Laws or the Foreign Direct Investment Laws applicable to the Merger. If any Party receives a request for additional information or documentary material from any Governmental Authority with respect to the Merger pursuant to the HSR Act or any other Antitrust Laws or Foreign Direct Investment Laws applicable to the Merger, then such Party will make (or cause to be made), as soon as reasonably practicable and after consultation

-80-

with the other Parties, an appropriate response to such request, and cooperate and coordinate with the other Parties in connection with responding to any such request. Parent, Merger Sub and the Company will not, and will cause their respective Affiliates not to, (a) “pull-and-refile” pursuant to 16 C.F.R. 803.12 or otherwise withdraw any filing under the HSR Act or any other Antitrust Law, as the case may be, unless the other Parties have consented in writing to such withdrawal and refiling (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); or (b) extend any waiting or review period under any Antitrust Law or Foreign Direct Investment Laws applicable to the Merger or enter into any timing agreement or other agreement not to consummate the Merger with any Governmental Authority, unless the other Parties have consented in writing to such extension or agreement (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

(b) Efforts to Cause the Closing. In furtherance and not in limitation of Section 6.2(a), if and to the extent necessary to obtain clearances, consents, approvals, waivers, actions, waiting period expirations or terminations, non-actions or other authorizations pursuant to applicable Antitrust Laws and Foreign Direct Investment Laws, and to avoid or eliminate each and every impediment under Antitrust Laws and Foreign Direct Investment Laws applicable to the Merger, in each case as promptly as practicable so as to allow the consummation of the Merger as promptly as practicable, and in any event at least three Business Days prior to the Termination Date, each of Parent and Merger Sub shall offer, negotiate, commit to and effect, by consent decree, hold separate order or otherwise: (i) the sale, divestiture, license or other disposition of any and all of the capital stock or other equity or voting interests, assets (whether tangible or intangible), rights, products or businesses of Parent, the Company or their respective Subsidiaries; (ii) the termination, modification, or assignment of existing relationships, joint ventures, Contracts, or obligations of Parent, the Company or their respective Subsidiaries; (iii) the modification of any course of conduct regarding future operations of Parent, the Company or their respective Subsidiaries; and (iv) any other restrictions on the activities of Parent, the Company or their respective Subsidiaries; provided, however, that nothing in this Agreement shall require Parent, Merger Sub and their respective Affiliates to, and the Company shall not, without the prior written consent of Parent, commit to or effect any action with respect to the capital stock or other equity or voting interests, assets (whether tangible or intangible), rights, properties, products or businesses of Affiliates of Parent or Merger Sub (other than Parent and Merger Sub and, following the Closing, the Surviving Corporation and the other Acquired Companies). Parent shall oppose any request for, the entry of, and seek to have vacated or terminated, any order, judgment, decree, injunction or ruling of any Governmental Authority in connection with the Merger that would restrain, prevent or delay any required consents, clearances, approvals, waivers, actions, waiting period expirations or terminations, non-actions or other authorizations applicable to the Merger, including by defending through litigation, any action asserted by any Person in any court or before any Governmental Authority and by exhausting all avenues of appeal, including appealing properly any adverse decision or order by any Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement shall require the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates to enter into any agreement, consent decree or order with any Governmental Authority that is not conditioned on the Closing.

-81-

(c) Cooperation. In furtherance and not in limitation of Section 6.2(a) and Section 6.2(b), the Company will (and will cause its Subsidiaries to), and Parent and Merger Sub will (and will cause their respective Affiliates to), subject to any restrictions under applicable Law, (i) promptly notify the other Parties of (and, if in writing, furnish them with copies of (or, in the case of oral communications, advise them of the contents of)) any material communication received by such Person from a Governmental Authority in connection with the Merger and permit the other Parties to review and discuss in advance (and to consider in good faith any comments made by the other Parties in relation to) any proposed draft notifications, formal notifications, filings, submissions or other written communications (and any analyses, memoranda, white papers, presentations, correspondence or other documents submitted therewith) made in connection with the Merger to a Governmental Authority; (ii) keep the other Parties reasonably informed with respect to the status of any such submissions and filings to any Governmental Authority in connection with the Merger and any developments, meetings or discussions with any Governmental Authority in respect thereof, including with respect to (A) the receipt of any non-action, action, clearance, consent, approval or waiver; (B) the expiration of any waiting period; (C) the commencement or proposed or threatened commencement of any investigation, litigation or administrative or judicial action or proceeding under applicable Law; and (D) the nature and status of any objections raised or proposed or threatened to be raised by any Governmental Authority with respect to the Merger; and (iii) where such Party itself has notice, not independently participate in any hearing, meeting, proceeding or discussions, in each case with or before any Governmental Authority in respect of the Merger without giving the other Parties reasonable prior notice of such meeting, hearing, proceeding or discussion, and unless (1) prohibited by such Governmental Authority or (2) the meeting, hearing, proceeding or discussion is with a foreign Governmental Authority related to Foreign Direct Investment Laws, the opportunity to attend or participate, provided however, unless not practicable given the timing of the request for a meeting from a foreign Government Authority received by a Party (the “Notified Party”), such Notified Party shall notify the other Party of such request, and shall consider in its sole and reasonable discretion in good faith, any request of the other Party to attend or participate in such meeting. Each of the Company, Parent and Merger Sub may designate any non-public information provided to any Governmental Authority as restricted to “outside counsel” only and any such information will not be shared with the Representatives of the other Party without approval of the Party providing the non-public information. Each of the Company, Parent and Merger Sub may redact or otherwise withhold any personal information or any valuation and related information before sharing any information provided to any Governmental Authority with another Party on an “outside counsel” only basis.

(d) Controlling Provision(e) . This Section 6.2 and not Section 6.1, shall govern and define the obligations of the Parties with respect to making any filings, notifications with respect to, or obtaining any approvals under, the HSR Act, other Antitrust Laws and Foreign Direct Investment Laws.

6.3 Proxy Statement and Other Required SEC Filings.

(a) Preparation. Promptly after the execution of this Agreement (but in no event later than 30 Business Days after the date of this Agreement, to the extent practicable), the Company will prepare (with Parent’s reasonable cooperation) and file with the SEC a preliminary proxy statement to be sent to the Company Stockholders in connection with the Company Stockholder Meeting (the proxy statement, including any amendments or supplements, the “Proxy Statement”). The Company will not file the Proxy Statement with the SEC without first providing

-82-

Parent and its counsel a reasonable opportunity to review and comment thereon, and the Company will give good faith consideration to all reasonable additions, deletions or changes suggested by Parent or its counsel. Subject to Section 5.4 and unless there has been a Company Board Recommendation Change, the Company will (i) include the Company Board Recommendation in the Proxy Statement; and (ii) use appropriate efforts to solicit proxies to obtain the Requisite Stockholder Approval. Promptly following the (A) confirmation by the SEC that it has no further comments or (B) expiration of the 10-day waiting period contemplated by Rule 14a-6(a) promulgated under the Exchange Act, the Company will cause the Proxy Statement in definitive form to be mailed to the Company Stockholders.

(b) Mutual Assistance. Each of the Company, Parent and Merger Sub will furnish all information concerning such Person and its Affiliates to the other, and provide such other assistance, as may be reasonably requested by such other Party to be included therein and will otherwise reasonably assist and cooperate with the other in the preparation, filing and distribution of the Proxy Statement and the resolution of any comments to either received from the SEC.

(c) SEC Correspondence. The Parties will notify each other as promptly as practicable of the receipt of any comments, whether written or oral, from the SEC and of any request by the SEC for amendments or supplements to the Proxy Statement, any Other Required Company Filing or any Other Required Parent Filing, or for additional information, and will supply each other with copies of all correspondence between it or any of its Representatives, on the one hand, and the SEC, on the other hand, with respect to such filings. The Parties will use their respective reasonable best efforts to resolve all SEC comments, if any, with respect to the Proxy Statement as promptly as practicable after the receipt thereof.

(d) No Amendments to Proxy Statement. Except in connection with a Company Board Recommendation Change or thereafter, no amendment or supplement to the Proxy Statement will be made by the Company without the approval of Parent, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

(e) Other Required Company Filings. If the Company determines that it is required to file any document other than the Proxy Statement with the SEC in connection with the Merger pursuant to applicable Law (such document, as amended or supplemented, an “Other Required Company Filing”), then the Company will use its reasonable best efforts to promptly prepare and file such Other Required Company Filing with the SEC. The Company will use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Proxy Statement and any Other Required Company Filing to comply as to form in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules of the SEC and NASDAQ. Except in connection with a Company Board Recommendation Change or thereafter, the Company may not file any Other Required Company Filing with the SEC without first providing Parent and its counsel a reasonable opportunity to review and comment thereon, and the Company will give good faith consideration to all reasonable additions, deletions or changes suggested by Parent or its counsel.

-83-

(f) Other Required Parent Filings. If Parent or Merger Sub determines that it is required to file any document with the SEC as a result of the Merger or the Company Stockholder Meeting pursuant to applicable Law (an “Other Required Parent Filing”), then Parent and Merger Sub will use their respective reasonable best efforts to promptly prepare and file such Other Required Parent Filing with the SEC. Parent and Merger Sub will cause any Other Required Parent Filing to comply as to form in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules of the SEC. Neither Parent nor Merger Sub may file any Other Required Parent Filing with the SEC without first providing the Company and its counsel a reasonable opportunity to review and comment thereon, and Parent will give good faith consideration to all reasonable additions, deletions or changes suggested by the Company or its counsel.

(g) Accuracy; Supplied Information.

(i) By the Company. On the date of filing with the SEC, the date of mailing to the Company Stockholders (if applicable) of the Proxy Statement or any Other Required Company Filing, and at the time of the Company Stockholder Meeting, neither the Proxy Statement nor any Other Required Company Filing will contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not false or misleading. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no covenant is made by the Company with respect to any information supplied by Parent, Merger Sub or any of their Affiliates for inclusion or incorporation by reference in the Proxy Statement or any Other Required Company Filing. The information supplied by the Company for inclusion or incorporation by reference in the Proxy Statement or any Other Required Parent Filings will not, at the time that such Proxy Statement or Other Required Parent Filing is filed with the SEC, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading.

(ii) By Parent. On the date of filing with the SEC, no Other Required Parent Filing will contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not false or misleading. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no covenant is made by Parent or Merger Sub with respect to any information supplied by the Company for inclusion or incorporation by reference in any Other Required Parent Filing. The information supplied by Parent, Merger Sub and their respective Affiliates for inclusion or incorporation by reference in the Proxy Statement or any Other Required Company Filing will not, at the time that the Proxy Statement or such Other Required Company Filing is filed with the SEC, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading.

6.4 Company Stockholder Meeting.

(a) Call of Company Stockholder Meeting. The Company will take all action necessary in accordance with applicable Law, the Charter and the Bylaws to establish a record date for, duly call, give notice of, convene and hold a meeting of the Company Stockholders (including any adjournment, postponement or other delay thereof, the “Company Stockholder Meeting”) as

-84-

promptly as reasonably practicable following the mailing of the Proxy Statement to the Company Stockholders for the purpose of, among other things, (i) seeking the Requisite Stockholder Approval; and (ii) in accordance with Regulation 14A under the Exchange Act, seeking advisory approval of a proposal in connection with a non-binding, advisory vote to approve certain compensation that may become payable to the Company’s named executive officers in connection with the consummation of the Merger. The Company will (A) submit this Agreement for adoption by the Company Stockholders at the Company Stockholder Meeting; and (B) use appropriate efforts to solicit (or cause to be solicited) from the Company Stockholders proxies in favor of the matters to be considered at the Company Stockholder Meeting.

(b) Adjournment of Company Stockholder Meeting. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company will be permitted to postpone or adjourn the Company Stockholder Meeting if (i) there are holders of insufficient shares of the Company Common Stock present or represented by proxy at the Company Stockholder Meeting to constitute a quorum at the Company Stockholder Meeting; (ii) the Company is required to postpone or adjourn the Company Stockholder Meeting by applicable Law, order or a request from the SEC; or (iii) the Company Board (or a committee thereof) has determined in good faith (after consultation with outside legal counsel) that it is required by applicable Law to postpone or adjourn the Company Stockholder Meeting (including, if the Company Board (or a committee thereof) has determined in good faith (after consultation with outside legal counsel) that it is required by applicable Law) in order to give the Company Stockholders sufficient time to evaluate any information or disclosure that the Company has sent to the Company Stockholders or otherwise made available to the Company Stockholders by issuing a press release, filing materials with the SEC or otherwise. Without the prior written consent of Parent (which will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), the Company Stockholder Meeting will not be postponed or adjourned (A) by more than 10 days at a time; or (B) with respect to Section 6.4(b)(i), by more than 30 days after the date on which the Company Stockholder Meeting was (or was required to be) originally scheduled or most recently convened. In no event will the record date of the Company Stockholder Meeting be changed without Parent’s prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), unless required by applicable Law.

6.5 Financing.

(a) No Amendments to Financing Letters. Each of Parent and Merger Sub will not, without the Company’s prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), permit any amendment or modification to be made to, or any waiver of any provision or remedy pursuant to, the Equity Commitment Letter. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each of Parent and Merger Sub will not, without the Company’s prior written consent, permit any amendment or modification to be made to, or any waiver of any provision or remedy pursuant to, the Debt Commitment Letters if such amendment, modification or waiver would, or would reasonably be expected to, (i) reduce the aggregate amount of the Debt Financing (unless the amount of the Equity Financing is increased by an equivalent amount from the Equity Financing Sources as of the date hereof); (ii) materially delay or prevent the Closing, (iii) make the funding of the Debt Financing materially less likely to occur; or (iv) adversely impact the ability of Parent, Merger Sub or the Company to consummate the transactions contemplated under this Agreement at the Closing or the to enforce its rights against the other parties to the Debt

-85-

Commitment Letters or the likelihood of the consummation of the transactions contemplated under this Agreement to be consummated at the Closing. Parent will promptly provide the Company with executed copies of any amendments or modifications to the Financing Letters. Any reference in this Agreement to (1) the “Financing” will include the financing contemplated by the Financing Letters as amended or modified in compliance with this Section 6.5 and (2) “Equity Commitment Letter,” “Debt Commitment Letters,” “Fee Letters” or “Financing Letters” will include such documents as amended or modified in compliance with this Section 6.5. Parent will not release or consent to the termination of any individual lender under the Debt Commitment Letters, except for (y) assignments and replacements of an individual lender under the terms of, and only in connection with, the syndication of the Debt Financing under the Debt Commitment Letters and (z) replacements of the Debt Commitment Letters with alternative financing commitments pursuant to Section 6.5(d).

(b) Taking of Necessary Actions.

(i) Equity Financing not a Closing Condition. The Equity Financing Sources, Parent and Merger Sub each acknowledge and agree that funding of the Equity Financing is not a condition to the Closing or the enforcement of the Guarantee. If the Equity Financing has not been funded, Parent and Merger Sub will each continue to be obligated, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Article VII, to consummate the Merger, including by taking the actions required to be taken by Parent and Merger Sub pursuant to Section 6.5(b)(ii).

(ii) Equity Commitment Letter. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each of Parent and Merger Sub will take (or cause to be taken) all actions and do (or cause to be done) all things necessary, proper and advisable to obtain the Equity Financing on the terms and conditions described in the Equity Commitment Letter at least three Business Days prior to the Termination Date including by (A) maintaining in effect the Equity Commitment Letter in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions thereof; (B) complying with its obligations under the Equity Commitment Letter; (C) satisfying on a timely basis all conditions to funding that are applicable to Parent and Merger Sub in the Equity Commitment Letter that are within its control; (D) consummating the Equity Financing at or prior to the Closing, including causing the Equity Financing Sources to fund the Equity Financing at the Closing; (E) complying with its obligations pursuant to the Equity Commitment Letter; and (F) enforcing its rights, including by bringing a Legal Proceeding for specific performance, pursuant to the Equity Commitment Letters.

(iii) Debt Commitment Letters. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each of Parent and Merger Sub will use reasonable best efforts to take (or cause to be taken) all actions and to do (or cause to be done) all things necessary, proper and advisable to arrange and obtain the Debt Financing on the terms and conditions (including, to the extent required, the full exercise of any “flex” provisions) described in the Debt Commitment Letters or the Fee Letters no later than the Closing, including using reasonable best efforts to (i) maintain in effect the Debt Commitment Letters in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions thereof; (ii) negotiate, execute and deliver definitive agreements with respect to the Debt Financing contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letters on the terms and conditions (including

-86-

the “flex” provisions) contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letters or the Fee Letters; (iii) accept (and comply with) to the fullest extent all “flex” provisions contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letters or the Fee Letters and the Debt Financing to the extent that such “flex” provisions are exercised in accordance with the terms thereof; (iv) satisfy on a timely basis all conditions to funding that are applicable to Parent and Merger Sub in the Debt Commitment Letters and such definitive agreements related thereto; (v) consummate the Debt Financing no later than the Closing, including causing the Financing Sources to fund the Debt Financing at the Closing; (vi) comply with its obligations pursuant to the Debt Commitment Letters and the Fee Letters; and (vii) enforce its rights pursuant to the Debt Commitment Letters. Parent and Merger Sub will fully pay, or cause to be fully paid, all commitment or other fees arising pursuant to the Debt Commitment Letters as and when they become due.

(c) Information. Parent will (i) keep the Company informed on a current basis and in reasonable detail of the status of its efforts to arrange the Financing; and (ii) provide the Company with copies of all executed definitive agreements related to the Financing. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Parent and Merger Sub must give the Company prompt notice (A) of (upon becoming aware of) any actual breach, default, repudiation, cancellation or termination by any party to the Financing Letters; (B) of (upon becoming aware of) termination of the Financing Letters by any party to the Financing Letters or definitive agreements related to the Financing; (C) of the receipt by Parent or Merger Sub or any of their Affiliates of any written notice or communication from any Financing Source with respect to (1) any actual or potential breach (or threatened breach), default, termination, cancellation or repudiation by any party to the Financing Letters or any definitive agreements related to the Financing of any provisions of the Financing Letters or such definitive agreements or (2) any dispute between or among any parties to the Financing Letters or any definitive agreements related to the Financing; and (D) if for any reason Parent or Merger Sub at any time believes that it will not be able to obtain all or any portion of the Financing on the terms, in the manner or from the sources contemplated by the Financing Letters or any definitive agreements related to the Financing. Parent will provide any information reasonably requested by the Company relating to any of the circumstances referred to in the previous sentence as soon as reasonably practical (but in any event with two Business Days) after the date that the Company delivers a written request therefor to Parent. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 6.5(c) to the contrary, in no event will Parent be under any obligation to disclose any information that Parent determines, in good faith and after consultation with its outside legal counsel, would result in any violation or breach of any applicable legal privileges (including attorney-client privilege) if so disclosed, it being understood that, in each case Parent shall give notice to the Company of the fact that it is withholding such information, and use reasonable best efforts to make appropriate substitute disclosure arrangements to permit the disclosure of such information without violating or breaching such privilege.

(d) Alternate Debt Financing. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing provisions, if any portion of the Debt Financing becomes unavailable on the terms and conditions (including the “flex” provisions) contemplated in the Debt Commitment Letters, then Parent will use its reasonable best efforts to arrange and obtain, as promptly as practicable following the occurrence of such event and at least three Business Days prior to the Termination Date, (i) alternative financing from alternative sources on terms and conditions not materially less favorable in the aggregate to Parent and Merger Sub than those contained in the Debt Commitment

-87-

Letters and the Fee Letters and in an amount at least equal to the Debt Financing or such unavailable portion thereof, as the case may be (the “Alternate Debt Financing”); and (ii) one or more new financing commitment letters with respect to such Alternate Debt Financing (the “New Debt Commitment Letters”), which New Debt Commitment Letters will replace the existing Debt Commitment Letters in whole or in part. Parent will promptly provide a copy of any New Debt Commitment Letters (and any fee letter in connection therewith, which may be delivered with the fee amounts and “flex” terms redacted in a customary manner so long as no redaction covers terms that would adversely affect the amount, conditionality, availability or termination of the Alternate Debt Financing) to the Company. In the event that any New Debt Commitment Letters are obtained, (A) any reference in this Agreement to the “Financing Letters,” “Fee Letters” or the “Debt Commitment Letters” will be deemed to include the Debt Commitment Letters and Fee Letters, as applicable, to the extent not superseded by a New Debt Commitment Letter at the time in question and any New Debt Commitment Letters or Fee Letters, as applicable, to the extent then in effect; and (B) any reference in this Agreement to the “Financing” or the “Debt Financing” will mean the debt financing contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letters and the Fee Letters as modified pursuant to the foregoing.

6.6 Financing Cooperation.

(a) Cooperation. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company will use its reasonable best efforts, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to use its reasonable best efforts, to provide Parent and Merger Sub with all cooperation reasonably requested by Parent or Merger Sub to assist them in causing the conditions in the Debt Commitment Letters to be satisfied or as is otherwise reasonably requested by Parent or Merger Sub in connection with Parent and Merger Sub obtaining the Debt Financing by:

(i) participating (and causing senior management and Representatives of the Company to participate) in a reasonable number of meetings, presentations, and due diligence sessions with the Financing Sources in respect of the Debt Financing;

(v) delivering notices of prepayment within the time periods required by the Credit Agreement and obtaining customary payoff letters, lien terminations and instruments of discharge to be delivered at the Closing, and giving any other necessary notices, to allow for the payoff, discharge and termination in full at the Closing of all obligations under the Credit Agreement (other than any contingent obligations for which no claim has been asserted), subject to any cash collateral requirements in connection with letters of credit that will remain outstanding after Closing), all in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Parent;

(vi) taking all corporate and other actions, subject to the occurrence of the Closing, reasonably requested by Parent to permit the consummation of the Debt Financing (including, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, distributing the proceeds of the Debt Financing, if any, obtained by any of the Subsidiaries of the Company to the Surviving Corporation);

(vii) furnishing Parent and the Financing Sources , at least 3 Business Days prior to Closing, with all documentation and other information about the Company and its Subsidiaries as is reasonably requested by Parent at least 10 Business Days prior to Closing, in accordance with the requirements of the Financing Sources, relating to applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations;

(viii) executing and delivering reasonable and customary certificates and other documentation required by the Debt Financing Sources and the definitive documentation related to the Debt Financing, solely to the extent such certificates and documentation are not effective until the Effective Time; and

(ix) otherwise assisting with satisfying the conditions precedent set forth in any definitive documentation relating to the Debt Financing.

(b) Limitation on Obligations of the Company. Nothing in this Section 6.6 or any other provision of this Agreement will require the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to (i) waive or amend any terms of this Agreement or any other Contract, provide any additional security or guaranties or agree to pay any fees or reimburse any expenses prior to the Effective Time for which it has not received prior reimbursement by or on behalf of Parent; (ii) enter into any definitive agreement or distribute any cash; (iii) give any indemnities in connection with the Debt Financing that are effective prior to the Effective Time; (iv) prepare or provide any Excluded Information; or (v) take any action that, in the good faith determination of the

(e) Reimbursement. If the Closing does not occur, promptly upon request by the Company, Parent will reimburse the Company for any documented and reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by the Company or its Subsidiaries in connection with the cooperation of the Company and its Subsidiaries contemplated by this Section 6.6 (it being understood and agreed that the reimbursement set forth in this Section 6.6(e) shall not apply to any fees, costs, and expenses incurred by, or on behalf of, the Company, its Subsidiaries or any of its Representatives in connection with its ordinary course financial reporting requirements or in the provision of data that, in each case, was already prepared or was being prepared by the Company, its Subsidiaries or its Representatives in the ordinary course of business notwithstanding this Section 6.6).

(f) Indemnification. The Company, its Subsidiaries and their respective Representatives will be indemnified and held harmless by Parent from and against any and all liabilities, losses, damages, claims, reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees), interest, awards, judgments, penalties and amounts paid in settlement suffered or incurred by them in connection with their cooperation in arranging or obtaining the Debt Financing pursuant to this Agreement or the provision of information utilized in connection therewith, except with respect to any losses suffered or incurred as a result of (i) the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Company or any of its Representatives or (ii) material breach by the Company or its Subsidiaries of this Section 6.6. Parent’s obligations pursuant to Section 6.6(e) and this Section 6.6(f) are referred to collectively as the “Reimbursement Obligations.”

(g) No Exclusive Arrangements. In no event will any Guarantor, Parent, Merger Sub or any of their respective Affiliates (which for this purpose will be deemed to include each direct investor in Parent or Merger Sub and the Financing Sources or potential financing sources of Parent, Merger Sub and such investors) enter into any Contract prohibiting or seeking to prohibit any bank, investment bank or other potential provider of debt financing from providing or seeking to provide debt financing or financial advisory services to any Person, in each case in connection with a transaction relating to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or in connection with the Merger.

(h) No Financing Condition. Parent and Merger Sub each acknowledge and agree that obtaining the Financing is not a condition to the Closing. Subject to Section 9.10(b)(ii), if any Financing has not been obtained, Parent and Merger Sub will each continue to be obligated, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Article VII, to consummate the Merger. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Company will have the option of having an appropriate senior officer of the Company provide any solvency certificate required or requested to be provided by any of the Financing Sources in connection with the Closing or otherwise.

-91-

6.7 Anti-Takeover Laws. Neither Parent nor the Company will take any action that would cause any restrictions on business combinations set forth in any “takeover” Law to become applicable to this Agreement or the Merger. Each of Parent, the Company and the Company Board will (a) take all actions within their power to ensure that no “anti-takeover” Law is or becomes applicable to the Merger; and (b) if any “anti-takeover” Law is or becomes applicable to the Merger, take all action within their power to ensure that the Merger may be consummated as promptly as practicable on the terms contemplated by this Agreement and otherwise to eliminate or minimize the effect of such Law on the Merger.

6.8 Information Access During the Pre-Closing Period. As necessary during the Pre-Closing Period, the Company will, and will cause its Subsidiaries to, afford Parent and its Representatives reasonable access during normal business hours, upon reasonable advance notice, to the properties, Contracts, books and records, and personnel of the Company and its Subsidiaries solely to the extent necessary for the purpose of planning for integration and potential consummation of the Merger and the operation of the Company following the Closing. Notwithstanding the prior sentence, the Company may restrict or otherwise prohibit access to any documents or information to the extent that (a) any applicable Law requires the Company to restrict or otherwise prohibit access to such documents or information; (b) access to such documents or information would give rise to a material risk of waiving any attorney-client privilege, work product doctrine or other privilege applicable to such documents or information; (c) access to a Contract to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or is otherwise bound would violate, or cause a default pursuant to, or give a third Person the right to terminate or accelerate rights pursuant to, such Contract; (d) such access would result in the disclosure of any Trade Secrets of any third Person; or (e) such documents or information are reasonably pertinent to any adverse Legal Proceeding between the Company and its Affiliates, on the one hand, and Parent, Merger Sub, the Guarantors, the Equity Financing Sources, or any of their respective Affiliates, on the other hand, it being understood that, in each case the Company shall give notice to Parent of the fact that it is withholding such information or documents, and use commercially reasonable efforts to make appropriate substitute disclosure arrangements to permit the disclosure of such information without implicating the foregoing restrictions. Nothing in this Section 6.8 will be construed to require the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective Representatives to prepare any reports, analyses, appraisals, opinions or other information. Any investigation conducted pursuant to the access contemplated by this Section 6.8 will be conducted in a manner that does not unreasonably interfere with the conduct of the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries or create a risk of damage or destruction to any property or assets of the Company or its Subsidiaries. Any access to the properties of the Company and its Subsidiaries will be subject to the Company’s reasonable security measures, health and safety measures, and insurance requirements, and will not include the right to perform any “invasive” testing or soil, air or groundwater sampling, including any Phase I or Phase II environmental assessments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company may satisfy its obligations set forth in this Section 6.8 by electronic means if physical access is not reasonably feasible or would not be permitted under applicable public health or similar Laws or measures. All requests for access or information pursuant to this Section 6.8 must be directed to the Company’s General Counsel or another person designated in writing by the Company.

-92-

6.9 Section 16(b) Exemption. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company will take all actions reasonably necessary to cause the Merger, and any dispositions of equity securities of the Company (including derivative securities) in connection with the Merger by each individual who is a director or executive officer of the Company, to be exempt pursuant to Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act.

6.10 Directors’ and Officers’ Exculpation, Indemnification and Insurance.

(a) Indemnified Persons. The Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries will (and Parent will cause the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries to), for a period of six years after the Effective Time, honor and fulfill, in all respects, the obligations of the Acquired Companies pursuant to (i) any indemnification agreements between the Company and any of its Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and any of their respective current or former directors or officers (and any person who becomes a director or officer of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries prior to the Effective Time), on the other hand (collectively, the “Indemnified Persons”) either set forth on Section 6.10 of the Company Disclosure Letter, filed with the Company SEC Reports or that use the same form, in all material respects, as the form of indemnification agreement filed with the Company SEC Reports. In addition, during the period commencing at the Effective Time and ending on the sixth anniversary of the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries will (and Parent will cause the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries to) cause the certificates of incorporation, bylaws and other similar organizational documents of the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries to contain provisions with respect to indemnification, exculpation and the advancement of expenses that are at least as favorable as the indemnification, exculpation and advancement of expenses provisions set forth in the Charter, the Bylaws and the other similar organizational documents of the Subsidiaries of the Company, as applicable, as of the date of this Agreement and honor and fulfill, in all respects, such indemnification, exculpation and advancement of expenses provisions. During such six-year period or such period in which an Indemnified Person is asserting a claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 6.10, whichever is longer, such provisions may not be repealed, amended or otherwise modified in any manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of any Indemnified Person except as required by applicable Law.

(b) D&O Insurance. During the period commencing at the Effective Time and ending on the sixth anniversary of the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation will (and Parent will cause the Surviving Corporation to) maintain in effect the D&O Insurance in respect of acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Effective Time on terms (including with respect to coverage, conditions, retentions, limits and amounts) that are equivalent to those of the D&O Insurance. In satisfying its obligations pursuant to this Section 6.10(b), the Surviving Corporation will not be obligated to pay annual premiums in excess of 300 percent of the amount paid by the Company for coverage for its last full fiscal year (such 300 percent amount, the “Maximum Annual Premium”). If the annual premiums of such insurance coverage exceed the Maximum Annual Premium, then the Surviving Corporation will be obligated to obtain a policy with the greatest coverage available for a cost not exceeding the Maximum Annual Premium from an insurance carrier with the same or better credit rating as the Company’s current directors’ and officers’ liability insurance carrier. Prior to the Effective Time, and in lieu of maintaining the D&O Insurance pursuant to this Section 6.10(b), the Company may, and at Parent’s request will,

-93-

purchase a prepaid “tail” policy (the “Tail Policy”) with respect to the D&O Insurance from an insurance carrier with the same or better credit rating as the Company’s current directors’ and officers’ liability insurance carrier so long as the annual cost for the Tail Policy does not exceed the Maximum Annual Premium, and if the cost does exceed the Maximum Annual Premium, obtain a tail policy with the greatest coverage available for a cost not exceeding the Maximum Annual Premium from an insurance carrier with the same or better credit rating as the Company’s current directors’ and officers’ liability insurance carrier. If the Company purchases the Tail Policy prior to the Effective Time, then the Surviving Corporation will (and Parent will cause the Surviving Corporation to) maintain the Tail Policy in full force and effect and continue to honor its obligations thereunder for so long as the Tail Policy is in full force and effect.

(c) Successors and Assigns. Proper provisions will be made so that the successors and assigns of Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective successors or assigns will assume all of the obligations of Parent and the Surviving Corporation set forth in this Section 6.10 if Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective successors or assigns either (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and is not the continuing or surviving corporation or entity in such consolidation or merger; or (ii) transfers all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person.

(d) No Impairment; Third-Party Beneficiary Rights. The obligations set forth in this Section 6.10 may not be terminated, amended or otherwise modified in any manner that adversely affects any Indemnified Person (or any other person (and his or her heirs and representatives) who is a beneficiary pursuant to the D&O Insurance or the Tail Policy) without the prior written consent of such affected Indemnified Person or other person. Each of the Indemnified Persons or other persons (and his or her heirs and representatives) who are beneficiaries pursuant to the D&O Insurance or the Tail Policy are intended to be third-party beneficiaries of this Section 6.10, with full rights of enforcement. The rights of the Indemnified Persons (and other persons (and his or her heirs and representatives) who are beneficiaries pursuant to the D&O Insurance or the Tail Policy) pursuant to this Section 6.10 will be in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other rights that such persons may have pursuant to (i) the Charter and Bylaws; (ii) the similar organizational documents of the Subsidiaries of the Company; (iii) any and all indemnification agreements entered into with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; or (iv) applicable Law.

(e) Joint and Several Obligations. The obligations of the Surviving Corporation, Parent and their respective Subsidiaries pursuant to this Section 6.10 are joint and several.

(f) Other Claims. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to, or will be construed to, release, waive or impair any rights to directors’ and officers’ insurance claims pursuant to any applicable insurance policy or indemnification agreement that is or has been in existence with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for any of their respective directors, officers or other employees, it being understood and agreed that the indemnification provided for in this Section 6.10 is not prior to or in substitution for any such claims pursuant to such policies or agreements.

6.11 Employee Matters.

(a) Existing Arrangements. From and after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation will (and Parent will cause the Surviving Corporation to) honor all of the Company Employee Plans and compensation and severance arrangements in accordance with their terms as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, including by taking such actions, if any, as are required pursuant to applicable Law. Notwithstanding the foregoing but subject to Section 6.11(b) and Section 6.11(c), nothing will prohibit the Surviving Corporation from amending or terminating any such Company Employee Plans or compensation or severance arrangements in accordance with their terms or if otherwise required pursuant to applicable Law.

(b) Employment; Benefits. During the twelve (12) months following the Effective Time during which a Continuing Employee remains employed by the Surviving Corporation or one of its Subsidiaries, the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries will (and Parent will cause the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries to) either (i) maintain for the benefit of each Continuing Employee the Company Employee Plans and any other employee benefit plans or other compensation and severance arrangements (other than the opportunity to participate in equity-based benefits, defined benefits pursuant to qualified and nonqualified retirement plans, retiree medical benefits, and other retiree health and welfare arrangements) of the Surviving Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries (the “Company Plans”) on terms and conditions that are no less favorable in the aggregate than those in effect at the Company or its Subsidiaries immediately prior to the Effective Time; (ii) provide base compensation, target incentive compensation opportunity and benefits (other than the opportunity to participate in equity-based benefits, defined benefits pursuant to qualified and nonqualified retirement plans, retiree medical benefits, and other retiree health and welfare arrangements) to each Continuing Employee that, taken as a whole, are no less favorable in the aggregate than the base compensation, target incentive compensation opportunity and benefits (other than the opportunity to participate in equity-based benefits, defined benefits pursuant to qualified and nonqualified retirement plans, retiree medical benefits, and other retiree health and welfare arrangements and individual employment agreements) provided to such Continuing Employee immediately prior to the Effective Time (“Comparable Plans”); or (iii) provide some combination of Company Plans and Comparable Plans such that each Continuing Employee receives base compensation, target incentive compensation opportunity and benefits (other than opportunity to participate in equity-based benefits, defined benefits pursuant to qualified and nonqualified retirement plans, retiree medical benefits, and other retiree health and welfare arrangements) that, taken as a whole, are no less favorable in the aggregate than the base compensation, target incentive compensation opportunity and benefits (other than the opportunity to participate in equity-based benefits) provided to such Continuing Employee immediately prior to the Effective Time. In each case, base compensation and target incentive compensation opportunity will not be decreased for a period of one year following the Effective Time for any Continuing Employee employed during that period. For a period of one year following the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation will (and Parent will cause the Surviving Corporation to) provide to Continuing Employees severance benefits that are no less favorable than those provided by the Acquired Companies as of the date of this Agreement.

-95-

(c) New Plans. At or after the Effective Time, Parent will, or will cause the Surviving Corporation or any other Subsidiary of Parent to, cause to be granted to the Continuing Employees credit for all service with the Acquired Companies prior to the Effective Time (to the extent that such service was taken into account under the analogous Company Plan immediately prior to the Effective Time) and with Parent, the Surviving Corporation, and any of their Subsidiaries on or after the Effective Time, for purposes of eligibility to participate, vesting and entitlement to benefits where length of service is relevant (including for purposes of vacation accrual and severance pay entitlement), except that such service need not be credited to the extent that it would result in duplication of coverage or benefits and service prior to the Effective Time will not be credited for purposes of a defined benefit pension plan. In addition, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (i) each Continuing Employee will be immediately eligible to participate, without any waiting period, in any and all employee benefit plans sponsored by Parent and its Subsidiaries (other than the Company Plans) (such plans, the “New Plans”) to the extent that coverage pursuant to any New Plan replaces coverage pursuant to a comparable Company Plan in which such Continuing Employee participates immediately before the Effective Time (such plans, the “Old Plans”); (ii) for purposes of each New Plan providing medical, dental, pharmaceutical, vision, disability or other welfare benefits to any Continuing Employee, Parent will, or will cause the Surviving Corporation or any Subsidiaries of Parent to, use commercially reasonable efforts to cause all waiting periods, pre-existing conditions or limitations, physical examination requirements, evidence of insurability requirements and actively-at-work or similar requirements of such New Plan to be waived for such Continuing Employee and his or her covered dependents, and Parent will, or will cause the Surviving Corporation or any Subsidiaries of Parent to, use commercially reasonable efforts to cause any eligible expenses incurred by such Continuing Employee and his or her covered dependents during the portion of the plan year of the Old Plan ending on the date that such Continuing Employee’s participation in the corresponding New Plan begins to be given full credit pursuant to such New Plan for purposes of satisfying all deductible, co-payments, coinsurance, offset and maximum out-of-pocket requirements applicable to such Continuing Employee and his or her covered dependents for the applicable plan year as if such amounts had been paid in accordance with such New Plan; and (iii) Parent will, or will cause the Surviving Corporation or any Subsidiaries of Parent to, use commercially reasonable efforts to credit the accounts of such Continuing Employees pursuant to any New Plan that is a flexible spending plan with any unused balance in the account of such Continuing Employee. Any vacation or paid time off accrued but unused by a Continuing Employee as of immediately prior to the Effective Time will be credited to such Continuing Employee following the Effective Time, will not be subject to accrual limits or other forfeiture and will not limit future accruals.

(d) No Third-Party Beneficiary Rights. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, neither this Section 6.11 nor any provisions of this Agreement relating to Company Employee Plans will be deemed to (i) guarantee employment for any period of time for, or preclude the ability of Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective Subsidiaries to terminate any Continuing Employee for any reason; (ii) subject to the limitations and requirements specifically set forth in this Section 6.11, require Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective Subsidiaries to maintain or continue any Company Plan or prevent the amendment, modification, suspension or termination thereof after the Effective Time; (iii) create any third-party beneficiary rights in any Person; or (iv) be treated as an amendment of, or undertaking to amend, any Company Employee Plan.

No such notification will affect or be deemed to modify any representation or warranty of the Company that is set forth in this Agreement or the conditions to the obligations of Parent and Merger Sub to consummate the Merger or the remedies available to the Parties under this Agreement.

No such notification will affect or be deemed to modify any representation or warranty of Parent or Merger Sub that is set forth in this Agreement or the conditions to the obligations of the Company to consummate the Merger or the remedies available to the Parties under this Agreement.

6.14 Public Statements and Disclosure. The initial press release concerning this Agreement and the Merger will be a joint press release reasonably acceptable to the Company and Parent and will be issued promptly following the execution and delivery of this Agreement. Thereafter, the Company and its Representatives (unless the Company Board (or a committee thereof) has made a Company Board Recommendation Change), on the one hand, and Parent and Merger Sub and their respective Representatives, on the other hand, will use their respective reasonable best efforts to consult with the other Parties before (a) participating in any media interviews; (b) engaging in any meetings or calls with analysts, institutional investors or other similar Persons; or (c) providing any statements that are public or are reasonably likely to become

(b) Effect of Termination. Any valid termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1 will be effective immediately upon the mutual written agreement of Parent and the Company or the delivery of written notice by the terminating Party to the other Parties, as applicable. Following the valid termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1, this Agreement will be of no further force or effect without liability of any Party (or any equity holder, controlling person, partner, member, manager, stockholder, director, officer, employee, Affiliate, agent or other Representative of such Party) to the other Parties, as applicable, except, and subject in all respects to this Section 8.2, that Section 6.6(e), Section 6.6(f), Section 6.14, Section 8.3, Article IX (other than Section 9.10(b)) and this Section 8.2 will each survive the termination of this Agreement, in each case in accordance with their respective terms. Notwithstanding the previous sentence, but subject to Section 8.3, nothing in this Agreement will relieve any Party from any liability for any Fraud or Willful Breach of this Agreement prior to the termination of this Agreement. No termination of this Agreement will affect the rights or obligations of any Party pursuant to the Confidentiality Agreement, the Guarantee or the Financing Letters, which rights, obligations and agreements will survive the termination of this Agreement in accordance with their respective terms.

8.3 Fees and Expenses.

(a) General. Except as set forth in this Section 8.3, all fees and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the Merger will be paid by the Party incurring such fees and expenses whether or not the Merger is consummated.

Except as set forth in Section 2.9(e), Parent will pay or cause to be paid all (i) transfer, stamp and documentary Taxes or fees; (ii) sales, use, real property transfer and other similar Taxes or fees, in each case arising out of or in connection with entering into this Agreement and the consummation of the Merger, and (iii) 50% of any filing fees which related to any governmental filing or notification under Section 6.2(a).

(b) Company Payments.

(i) Future Transactions. If (A) this Agreement is validly terminated pursuant to Section 8.1(c), Section 8.1(d) or Section 8.1(e); (B) the Company has not delivered to Parent written notice prior to termination of this Agreement of a breach or failure to perform by Parent or Merger Sub of any of their respective representations, warranties or covenants contained in this Agreement, which breach or failure to perform would result in a failure of a condition set forth in Section 7.1 or Section 7.3, or any such noticed breach or failure to perform was cured prior to, or is otherwise not continuing as of, the termination of this Agreement; (C) following the execution and delivery of this Agreement and prior to the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(c), Section 8.1(d) or Section 8.1(e), an Acquisition Proposal has been publicly announced or publicly disclosed, or, in the case of termination pursuant to Section 8.1(c) or Section 8.1(e), otherwise provided to the Company Board, and not withdrawn or otherwise abandoned;

-105-

and (D) within one year of the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(c), Section 8.1(d) or Section 8.1(e), as applicable, either an Acquisition Transaction is consummated or the Company enters into a definitive agreement providing for the consummation of an Acquisition Transaction and such Acquisition Transaction is subsequently consummated, then the Company will, concurrently with the consummation of such Acquisition Transaction, pay or cause to be paid to Parent or its designee an amount equal to the Company Termination Fee by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account designated in Schedule 8.3(b) (which Schedule may be updated by Parent from time to time). For purposes of this Section 8.3(b)(i), all references to “15 percent” in the definition of “Acquisition Transaction” will be deemed to be references to “50 percent.” For purposes of Section 8.3(b)(i)(D), all references to “the Equity Financing Sources” in the definition of “Acquisition Transaction” will be deemed to be deleted.

(ii) Company Board Recommendation Change. If this Agreement is validly terminated pursuant to Section 8.1(f), then the Company must, within two Business Days following such termination, pay or cause to be paid to Parent or its designee the Company Termination Fee by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account designated in Schedule 8.3(b) (which Schedule may be updated by Parent from time to time).

(iii) Superior Proposal. If this Agreement is validly terminated pursuant to Section 8.1(h), then the Company must, prior to or concurrently with such termination, pay or cause to be paid to Parent or its designee the Company Termination Fee by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account designated in Schedule 8.3(b) (which Schedule may be updated by Parent from time to time).

(c) Parent Payment.

(i) If this Agreement is validly terminated pursuant to Section 8.1(g) or Section 8.1(i), then Parent must, within two Business Days following such termination, pay or cause to be paid to the Company or its designee an amount equal to the Parent Termination Fee by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account designated in Schedule 8.3(c) (which Schedule may be updated by the Company from time to time).

(d) Single Payment Only; Liquidated Damages. The Parties acknowledge and agree that in no event will the Company or Parent be required to pay the Company Termination Fee or the Parent Termination Fee, as applicable, on more than one occasion, whether or not the Company Termination Fee or the Parent Termination Fee, as applicable, may be payable pursuant to more than one provision of this Agreement at the same or at different times and upon the occurrence of different events. The Parties acknowledge and agree that (i) the agreements contained in this Section 8.3 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; (ii) the damages resulting from the termination of this Agreement under circumstances where the Company Termination Fee or the Parent Termination Fee is payable are uncertain and incapable of accurate calculation; and (iii) without these agreements, the Parties would not enter into this Agreement. Therefore, the Company Termination Fee or the Parent Termination Fee, as applicable, if, as and when required to be paid pursuant to this Section 8.3 will not constitute a penalty but rather liquidated damages in a reasonable amount that will compensate the Party receiving such amount in the circumstances in which it is payable for the efforts and resources expended and opportunities foregone while negotiating this Agreement and in reliance on this Agreement and on the expectation of the consummation of the Merger.

-106-

(e) Payments; Default. The Parties acknowledge and agree that the agreements contained in this Section 8.3 are an integral part of this Agreement and that, without these agreements, the Parties would not enter into this Agreement. Accordingly, if the Company fails to promptly pay any amount due pursuant to Section 8.3(b) or Parent fails to promptly pay any amounts due pursuant to Section 8.3(c) and, in order to obtain such payment, Parent, on the one hand, or the Company, on the other hand, commences a Legal Proceeding that results in a judgment against the Company for the amount set forth in Section 8.3(b) or any portion thereof or a judgment against Parent for the amount set forth in Section 8.3(c) or any portion thereof, as applicable, then the non-paying party will pay or cause to be paid to the other party the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees) of the other party in connection with such Legal Proceeding, together with interest on such amount or portion thereof at an annual rate equal to the prime rate (as published in The Wall Street Journal (or other authoritative source to the extent no such figure is published by The Wall Street Journal) on the date that such payment or portion thereof was required to be made) plus five percent through the date that such payment or portion thereof was actually received, or a lesser rate that is the maximum permitted by applicable Law (collectively, “Enforcement Expenses”); provided, however, that in no event shall the Enforcement Expenses exceed $7,000,000.

(f) Sole and Exclusive Remedy.

(i) For the Company Related Parties. If this Agreement is validly terminated pursuant to Section 8.1 in circumstances in which the Parent Termination Fee is payable pursuant to Section 8.3(c), the Company’s receipt of the Parent Termination Fee (including, without duplication, the Company’s right to enforce the Guarantee with respect thereto and receive the Parent Termination Fee from the Guarantors), the Reimbursement Obligations, any Enforcement Expenses and the Company’s right to specific performance pursuant to Section 9.10(b) will be the sole and exclusive remedies of the Company Related Parties against the Parent Related Parties in respect of this Agreement, the Transaction Documents, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Transaction Documents, the termination of this Agreement, or the failure to consummate the Merger. Upon payment of the Parent Termination Fee (to the extent owed pursuant to Section 8.3(c)), the Reimbursement Obligations and any Enforcement Expenses, none of the Parent Related Parties will have any further liability or obligation to any of the Company Related Parties or any other Person relating to or arising out of this Agreement, the Transaction Documents, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Transaction Documents, or for any matters forming the basis of such termination, except that (A) the Parties or their respective Affiliates (or both) will remain obligated with respect to, and the Acquired Companies may be entitled to remedies with respect to, the Confidentiality Agreement, Section 8.2 and Section 8.3(a), as applicable; and (B) the Guarantors will remain obligated, and the Acquired Companies may be entitled to remedies with respect to, the Guarantee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 8.3(f)(i) will not relieve Parent, Merger Sub or the Guarantors from any liability (1) for any Fraud or Willful Breach of this Agreement, except that under no circumstances will the collective monetary damages payable by the Parent Related Parties (including for any Willful Breach or Fraud) under this Agreement (taking into account the payment of the Parent

-107-

Termination Fee pursuant to this Agreement), the Guarantee or the Equity Commitment Letter exceed an amount, in the aggregate, equal to the amount of the Parent Termination Fee plus the Reimbursement Obligations plus any Enforcement Expenses (such aggregate amount, the “Parent Liability Limitation”); (2) for any breaches of the Confidentiality Agreement; or (3) pursuant to Section 8.3(a), as applicable. In no event will any of the Company Related Parties seek or obtain, nor will they permit any of their Representatives or any other Person acting on their behalf to seek or obtain, any monetary recovery or award in excess of the Parent Liability Limitation (except pursuant to the Confidentiality Agreement or pursuant to Section 8.3(a), as applicable) against the Parent Related Parties, and, other than pursuant to the Confidentiality Agreement or pursuant to Section 8.3(a), as applicable, in no event will the Company be entitled to seek or obtain any monetary damages of any kind, including consequential, special, indirect or punitive damages, in excess of the Parent Liability Limitation against the Parent Related Parties for, or with respect to, this Agreement, the Merger, the Debt Commitment Letter, the Equity Commitment Letter, the Guarantee or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Guarantee, the termination of this Agreement, the failure to consummate the Merger, or any claims or actions under applicable Law arising out of any such breach, termination or failure. Nothing in this Section 8.3(f)(i) will preclude any liability of the Financing Sources to the Company, Parent or Merger Sub under the definitive agreements relating to the Debt Financing or limit the Company, Parent or Merger Sub from seeking to recover any such damages or obtain equitable relief from or with respect to any Financing Source pursuant to the definitive agreements relating to the Debt Financing.

(ii) For the Parent Related Parties. If this Agreement is validly terminated pursuant to Section 8.1 in circumstances in which the Company Termination Fee is payable pursuant to Section 8.3(b), Parent’s receipt of the Company Termination Fee, any Enforcement Expenses and Parent’s right to specific performance pursuant to Section 9.10(b) will be the sole and exclusive remedies of the Parent Related Parties against the Company Related Parties in respect of this Agreement, the Transaction Documents, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Transaction Documents, the termination of this Agreement, or the failure to consummate the Merger. Upon payment of the Company Termination Fee (to the extent owed pursuant to Section 8.3(b)) and any Enforcement Expenses, none of the Company Related Parties will have any further liability or obligation to any of the Parent Related Parties or any other Person relating to or arising out of this Agreement, the Transaction Documents, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Transaction Documents, or for any matters forming the basis of such termination, except that the Parties or their respective Affiliates (or both) will remain obligated with respect to, and Parent may be entitled to remedies with respect to, the Confidentiality Agreement, Section 8.2 and Section 8.3(a), as applicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 8.3(f)(ii) will not relieve the Company from any liability (1) for any Fraud or Willful Breach of this Agreement, except that under no circumstances will the collective monetary damages payable by the Company for breaches (including for any Willful Breach or Fraud) under this Agreement (taking into account the payment of the Company Termination Fee pursuant to this Agreement) exceed an amount, in the aggregate, equal to the amount of the Company Termination Fee plus any Enforcement Expenses (such aggregate amount, the “Company Liability Limitation”); (2) for any breaches of the Confidentiality Agreement; or (3) pursuant to Section 8.3(a), as applicable. In no event will any of the Parent Related Parties seek or obtain, nor will they permit any of their Representatives or any other Person acting on their behalf

-108-

to seek or obtain, any monetary recovery or award in excess of the Company Liability Limitation (except pursuant to the Confidentiality Agreement or pursuant to Section 8.3(a), as applicable) against the Company Related Parties, and, other than pursuant to the Confidentiality Agreement or pursuant to Section 8.3(a), as applicable, in no event will Parent or Merger Sub be entitled to seek or obtain any monetary damages of any kind, including consequential, special, indirect or punitive damages, in excess of the Company Liability Limitation against the Company Related Parties for, or with respect to, this Agreement or the Merger, the termination of this Agreement, the failure to consummate the Merger, or any claims or actions under applicable Law arising out of any such breach, termination or failure. For the avoidance of doubt, other than the obligations of the Company provided in this Agreement, no Company Related Party or any Person other than the Company will have any liability for monetary damages to any Parent Related Party or any other Person relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the Merger.

Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, any and all remedies expressly conferred upon a Party will be deemed cumulative with and not exclusive of any other remedy conferred by this Agreement or by applicable Law on such Party, and the exercise by a Party of any one remedy will not preclude the exercise of any other remedy. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Transaction Document or otherwise, although the Company may, subject in all respects to Section 8.2, Section 8.3, Section 9.16 and this Section 9.10 (and, in each case, the limitations set forth herein or therein), pursue both (i) a grant of specific performance, and (ii) payment of monetary damages pursuant to Section 8.2(b) (subject to the Parent Liability Limitation) or the Parent Termination Fee (including under the Guarantee), under no circumstances will the Company, directly or indirectly, be permitted or entitled to receive both a grant of specific performance or other equitable relief to cause the Equity Financing to be funded (whether under this Agreement or the Equity Commitment Letter) and the occurrence of the Closing, on the one hand, and (1) payment of any monetary damages (including any monetary damages in lieu of specific performance) pursuant to Section 8.2(b) (subject to the Parent Liability Limitation) whatsoever or (2) payment of any of the Parent Termination Fee, the Reimbursement Obligations and any Enforcement Expenses, on the other hand. Parent may, at Parent’s election, settle, discharge, preclude, obviate and resolve any Legal Proceeding resulting from, relating to or arising out of the termination of this Agreement (including any claim or Legal Proceeding with respect to the payment of money damages) by consummating the Merger in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(b) Specific Performance.

(i) Irreparable Damage. The Parties agree that irreparable damage for which monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy would occur in the event that the Parties do not perform the provisions of this Agreement (including any Party failing to take such actions that are required of it by this Agreement in order to consummate the Merger) in accordance with its specified terms or otherwise breach such provisions. The Parties acknowledge and agree that: (A) the Parties will be entitled, in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity, to an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief to prevent breaches (or threatened breaches) of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms of this Agreement (including specific performance or other equitable relief to cause Parent to perform any obligations required of it to enforce its rights under the Equity Commitment Letter); (B) the provisions of Section 8.2(b), Section 8.3, including the availability of monetary damages or the Parent Termination Fee or Company Termination Fee, as applicable, are not intended to and do not adequately compensate the Company, on the one hand, or Parent and Merger Sub, on the other hand, for the harm that would result from a breach of this Agreement, and will not be construed to diminish or otherwise impair in any respect any Party’s right to an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief; and (C) the right of specific enforcement is an integral part of the Merger and without that right, neither the Company nor Parent would have entered into this Agreement.

(ii) Specific Performance in Respect of the Financing. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any Transaction Document, and subject in all respects to this Section 9.10(b)(ii), Parent acknowledges and agrees that it has an obligation under this Agreement to cause the Equity Financing to be funded, including by exercising its rights under the Equity Commitment Letter, and the Company shall have the right to obtain specific performance or other equitable relief to enforce such obligation of Parent (whether under this Agreement or the Equity Commitment Letter), the obligation of the Equity Financing Sources to fund the Equity Financing directly under the Equity Commitment Letter and the obligation of Parent to consummate the Merger, if and so long as (A) all of the conditions set forth in Section 7.1 and Section 7.2 have been and continue to be satisfied (other than those conditions that by their terms are to be satisfied at the Closing, each of which is capable of being satisfied at the Closing) or waived by Parent; (B) the Debt Financing has been funded or is reasonably expected to be funded in full at the Closing if the Equity Financing is funded at the Closing; and (C) the Company has notified Parent in writing that if Parent performs its obligations under this Agreement and the Equity Financing and the Debt Financing are funded, then the Company stands ready, willing and able to consummate, and irrevocably commits to consummate, the Closing.

(iii) No Objections; Cooperation. The Parties agree not to raise any objections to (A) the granting of an injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief to prevent or restrain breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement by the Company, on the one hand, or Parent and Merger Sub, on the other hand; and (B) the specific performance of the terms and provisions of this Agreement to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of, or to enforce

-113-

compliance with, the covenants, obligations and agreements of the Parties pursuant to this Agreement. Any Party seeking an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches (or threatened breaches) of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement will not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with such injunction or enforcement, and each Party irrevocably waives any right that it may have to require the obtaining, furnishing or posting of any such bond or other security. Each Party agrees that it will use its reasonable best efforts to cooperate with the other Parties in seeking and agreeing to an expedited schedule in any litigation seeking an injunction or order of specific performance to attempt to fully resolve any dispute between the Parties prior to the Termination Date.
