ARTICLE II

EFFECT OF THE MERGER ON CAPITAL STOCK; PAYMENT FOR SHARES

Section 2.01 Effect of the Merger on Capital Stock. At the Effective Time, as a result of the Merger and without any action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub, or the Company or the holder of any capital stock of Parent, Merger Sub, or the Company:

(a) Cancellation of Certain Company Common Stock. Each share of Company Common Stock that is owned by Parent or the Company (as treasury stock or otherwise) or any of their respective direct or indirect wholly-owned Subsidiaries as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (“Cancelled Shares”) will automatically be cancelled and retired and will cease to exist, and no consideration will be delivered in exchange therefor.

(b) Conversion of Company Common Stock. Each share of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than Cancelled Shares) will be converted into the right to receive $54.00 in cash, without interest thereon (the “Merger Consideration”).

(c) Cancellation of Shares. At the Effective Time, all shares of Company Common Stock will no longer be outstanding and all shares of Company Common Stock will be cancelled and retired and will cease to exist, and each holder of: (i) a certificate formerly representing any shares of Company Common Stock (each, a “Certificate”); or (ii) any book-entry shares which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented shares of Company Common Stock (each, a “Book-Entry Share”) will cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the Merger Consideration in accordance with Section 2.02 hereof.

(d) Conversion of Merger Sub Capital Stock. Each share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and become one newly issued, fully paid, and non-assessable share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Surviving Corporation with the same rights, powers, and privileges as the shares so converted and shall constitute the only outstanding shares of capital stock of the Surviving Corporation. From and after the Effective Time, all certificates representing shares of Merger Sub common stock shall be deemed for all purposes to represent the number of shares of common stock of the Surviving Corporation into which they were converted in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence.

Section 2.02 Surrender and Payment.

(a) Paying Agent; Payment Fund. Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall appoint a paying agent reasonably acceptable to the Company (the “Paying Agent”) to act as the agent for the purpose of paying the Merger Consideration for: (i) the Certificates; and (ii) the Book-Entry Shares. On or before the Effective Time, Parent shall deposit, or cause the Surviving Corporation to deposit, with the Paying Agent, sufficient funds to pay the aggregate Merger Consideration that is payable in respect of all of the shares of Company Common Stock represented by the Certificates and the Book-Entry Shares (other than Cancelled Shares) (the “Payment Fund”) in amounts and at the times necessary for such payments. In connection therewith, Parent shall enter into an agreement with the Paying Agent in a form reasonably acceptable to the Company. If for any reason (including losses) the Payment Fund is inadequate to pay the amounts to which holders of shares shall be entitled under Section 2.01(b), Parent shall take all steps necessary to enable or cause the Surviving Corporation promptly to deposit additional cash with the Paying Agent sufficient to make all payments required under this Agreement, and Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall in any event be liable for the payment thereof. The Payment Fund shall not be used for any other purpose. The Surviving Corporation shall pay all charges and expenses of the Paying Agent, in connection with the exchange of shares of Company Common Stock for the Merger Consideration. Promptly after the Effective Time (but in no event later than five (5) Business Days after the Effective Time), Parent shall cause the Paying Agent to send, to each record holder of shares of Company Common Stock (as of immediately prior to the Effective Time), whose Company Common Stock was converted pursuant to Section 2.01(b) into the right to receive the Merger Consideration, a letter of transmittal and instructions (which shall specify that the delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title shall pass, only upon proper delivery of the Certificates or transfer of the Book-Entry Shares to the Paying Agent, and which letter of transmittal will be in customary form and have such other provisions as Parent and the Surviving Corporation may reasonably specify) for use in such exchange.

(b) Procedures for Surrender; No Interest. Each holder of shares of Company Common Stock that have been converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration shall be entitled to receive the Merger Consideration in respect of the Company Common Stock represented by a Certificate or Book-Entry Share upon: (i) surrender to the Paying Agent of a Certificate, together with a duly completed and validly executed letter of transmittal in accordance with the instructions thereto and such other documents as may reasonably be requested by the Paying Agent; or (ii) receipt of an “agent’s message” by the Paying Agent (or such other evidence, if any, of transfer as the Paying Agent may reasonably request) in the case of Book-Entry Shares. Until so surrendered or transferred, as the case may be, each such Certificate or Book-Entry Share, as applicable, shall represent after the Effective Time for all purposes only the right to receive the Merger Consideration payable in respect thereof. No interest shall be paid or accrued on the cash payable upon the surrender or transfer of any Certificate or Book-Entry Share. Upon payment of the Merger Consideration pursuant to the provisions of thisArticle II, each Certificate or Certificates or Book-Entry Share or Book-Entry Shares so surrendered or transferred, as the case may be, shall immediately be cancelled.

(c) Investment of Payment Fund. Until disbursed in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the cash in the Payment Fund will be invested by the Paying Agent, as directed by Parent or the Surviving Corporation, in: (i) obligations of or fully guaranteed by the United States; (ii) short-term commercial paper rated A-1 or P-1 or better by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. or Standard & Poor’s Corporation, respectively; (iii) certificates of deposit, bank repurchase agreements, or banker’s acceptances of commercial banks with capital exceeding $1,000,000,000 (based on the most recent financial statements of such bank that are then publicly available); or (iv) money market funds having a rating in the highest investment category granted by a

4

recognized credit rating agency at the time of acquisition or a combination of the foregoing and, in any such case, no such instrument shall have a maturity exceeding three months. No losses with respect to any investments of the Payment Fund will affect the amounts payable to the holders of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares. Any income from investment of the Payment Fund will be payable to Parent or the Surviving Corporation, as Parent directs.

(d) Payments to Non-Registered Holders. If any portion of the Merger Consideration is to be paid to a Person other than the Person in whose name the surrendered Certificate or the transferred Book-Entry Share, as applicable, is registered, it shall be a condition to such payment that: (i) such Certificate shall be properly endorsed or shall otherwise be in proper form for transfer or such Book-Entry Share shall be properly transferred; and (ii) the Person requesting such payment shall pay to the Paying Agent any transfer or other Tax required as a result of such payment to a Person other than the registered holder of such Certificate or Book-Entry Share, as applicable, or establish to the reasonable satisfaction of the Paying Agent that such Tax has been paid or is not payable.

(e) Full Satisfaction. All Merger Consideration paid upon the surrender of Certificates or transfer of Book-Entry Shares in accordance with the terms hereof shall be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to the shares of Company Common Stock formerly represented by such Certificate or Book-Entry Shares, and from and after the Effective Time, there shall be no further registration of transfers of shares of Company Common Stock on the stock transfer books of the Surviving Corporation. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates or Book-Entry Shares are presented to the Surviving Corporation, they shall be cancelled and exchanged for the Merger Consideration provided for, and in accordance with the procedures set forth, in thisArticle II.

(f) Termination of Payment Fund. Any portion of the Payment Fund that remains unclaimed by the holders of shares of Company Common Stock twelve months after the Effective Time shall be returned to Parent, upon demand, and any such holder who has not exchanged shares of Company Common Stock for the Merger Consideration in accordance with this Section 2.02 (and Section 2.05 in the case of lost, stolen or destroyed Certificates) prior to that time shall thereafter look only to Parent (subject to abandoned property, escheat, or other similar Laws), as general creditors thereof, for payment of the Merger Consideration without any interest. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Parent shall not be liable to any holder of shares of Company Common Stock for any amounts paid to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat, or similar Laws. Any amounts remaining unclaimed by holders of shares of Company Common Stock two years after the Effective Time (or such earlier date, immediately prior to such time when the amounts would otherwise escheat to or become property of any Governmental Entity) shall become, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, the property of Parent free and clear of any claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.

Section 2.03 Adjustments. Without limiting the other provisions of this Agreement, including the restrictions set forth in Section 5.01, if at any time during the period between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time, any change in the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company shall occur (other than the issuance of additional shares of capital stock of the Company as permitted by this Agreement), including by reason of any reclassification, recapitalization, stock split (including a reverse stock split), or combination, exchange, readjustment of shares, or similar transaction, or any stock dividend or distribution paid in stock, the Merger Consideration and any other amounts payable pursuant to this Agreement shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect such change.

5

Section 2.04 Withholding Rights. Each of the Paying Agent, Parent, Merger Sub, and the Surviving Corporation shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable to any Person pursuant to this Article II such amounts as may be required to be deducted and withheld with respect to the making of such payment under any Tax Laws. To the extent that amounts are so deducted and withheld and remitted to the appropriate Governmental Entity by the Paying Agent, Parent, Merger Sub, or the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which the Paying Agent, Parent, Merger Sub, or the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, made such deduction and withholding.

Section 2.05 Lost Certificates. If any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen, or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen, or destroyed and, if required by Parent or the Paying Agent as a condition precedent to the payment of the Merger Consideration due with respect thereto, the posting by such Person of a bond, in such reasonable amount as Parent or the Paying Agent may direct, as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, the Paying Agent will issue, in exchange for such lost, stolen, or destroyed Certificate, the Merger Consideration to be paid in respect of the shares of Company Common Stock formerly represented by such Certificate as contemplated under this Article II.

Section 2.06 Treatment of Company Equity Awards.

(a) Restricted Stock Units and Performance Stock Units and Performance Stock Units.

(i) The Company shall take all requisite action so that, at the Effective Time, each Company Restricted Stock Unit or Company Performance Stock Unit that is outstanding under any Company Stock Plan immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, vest in full and become free of restrictions and shall be cancelled and converted automatically, in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Agreement, into the right to receive from Parent and the Surviving Corporation, as promptly as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time, an amount in cash, without interest, equal to the Merger Consideration multiplied by the total number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such award immediately prior to the Effective Time (with any such Company Performance Stock Units deemed achieved at one hundred percent (100%) of the Company Performance Stock Units granted) less any Taxes required to be withheld with respect to such Company Restricted Stock Unit or Company Performance Stock Unit in accordance with Section 2.04.

(ii) As promptly as reasonably practicable following the Closing Date, but in no event later than the next regularly scheduled payroll date that is at least two (2) Business Days following the Closing Date, Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to pay the Merger Consideration described in Section 2.06(a)(i) to holders of Company Equity Awards through the payroll system or payroll provider of the Surviving Corporation (after giving effect to any required Tax withholding). If any payment of the Merger Consideration cannot be made through the Company’s or the Surviving Corporation’s payroll system or payroll provider, then the Surviving Corporation will issue a check for such payment to such holder (less applicable withholding Taxes), which check will be sent by overnight courier to such holder as promptly as reasonably practicable following the Closing Date.

6

(b) Company Stock Appreciation Rights.

(i) At the Effective Time, each Company stock appreciation right (“Company SAR”) that is outstanding under any Company Stock Plan immediately prior to the Effective Time shall have all rights thereunder cancelled by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, and each former holder of any cancelled In-the-Money SAR, in exchange therefor shall be entitled to an amount in cash, without interest, equal to the product of (A) the SAR Per Share Consideration multiplied by (B) the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such In-the-Money SAR, less any applicable withholding Taxes. Each Company SAR that is not an In-the-Money SAR shall be automatically cancelled immediately prior to the Effective Time for no consideration. Following the Effective Time, no holder of any Company SAR shall have the right to acquire any equity interest in the Company or the Surviving Corporation in respect thereof.

(ii) With respect to In-the-Money SARs held by employees, as promptly as reasonably practicable following the Closing Date, but in no event later than the next regularly scheduled payroll date that is at least two (2) Business Days following the Closing Date, Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to deliver through its payroll system the consideration provided for bySection 2.06(b)(i) to such holder. If such payment cannot be made through the Company’s or the Surviving Corporation’s payroll system or payroll provider, then the Surviving Corporation will issue a check for such payment to such holder, which check will be sent by overnight courier to such holder as promptly as reasonably practicable following the Closing Date, but in no event later than the first regularly scheduled payroll date following thirty days after the Closing Date. With respect to non-employee holders of In-the-Money SARs, the Paying Agent shall pay to each such holder the consideration provided for herein following the Closing Date.

(c) Resolutions and Other Company Actions. At or prior to the Effective Time, the Company, the Company Board, and the compensation committee of such board, as applicable, shall adopt any resolutions and take any actions (including, if appropriate, amending the Company Stock Plans and individual grant agreements and obtaining consents from the holders of the Company SARs and/or delivering the holders thereof notices thereto) necessary to give effect to the transactions provided for in this Section 2.06 and to ensure that from and after the Effective Time, each holder of an outstanding Company SAR or a Company Restricted Share shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto and no participant in any other Company Benefit Plan will have any right thereunder to acquire any equity securities of the Company, the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective Subsidiaries; and the termination as of the Effective Time of all Company Stock Plans and any other Company Benefit Plan providing for any equity interest in respect of the Company or its Subsidiaries.

As of the date of this Agreement, no event has occurred that, with or without notice, lapse of time, or both, would reasonably be expected to constitute a default or breach or a failure to satisfy a condition precedent on the part of Parent or, to the knowledge of Parent, any other parties thereto under the terms of the Commitment Letter, or otherwise result in any portion of the Financing contemplated thereby to be unavailable. Parent has irrevocably paid in full (or caused to be paid) any and all commitment fees or other fees and expenses required to be paid pursuant to the terms of the Commitment Letter on or before the date of this Agreement, and will continue to timely pay in full (or caused to be paid) any such amounts arising under the Commitment Letter as and when they become due and payable. As of the date of this Agreement, the Commitment Letter has not been modified, amended, withdrawn or restated as of the date hereof, the Commitment Letter will not be amended or modified as of Closing Date except to the extent permitted by Section 5.17, and none of the respective commitments under any of the Commitment Letter has been withdrawn, terminated or rescinded in any respect (and no such withdrawal, termination or rescission is contemplated). Except as set forth in the Commitment Letter, there are no side letters or other agreements, contracts or arrangements to which Parent or any of its Subsidiaries is a party relating to the funding or investing, as applicable (except for customary fee letters and engagement letters and customary arrangements or agreements to syndicate a portion of the Financing), of the full amount of the Financing. There are no conditions precedent (x) related to the funding of the full amount of the Financing or any provisions that could reduce the aggregate amount of the Financing set forth in the Commitment Letter or the aggregate proceeds contemplated by the Commitment Letter or (y) that could otherwise adversely affect the conditionality, enforceability or availability of the Commitment Letter with respect to all or any portion of the Financing, other than as set forth in the Commitment Letter in the form so delivered to the Company. As of the date hereof, no party to any Commitment Letter has any right to impose, and Parent and Merger Sub do not have an

31

obligation to accept, (i) any condition precedent to the funding of the Financing other than as expressly set forth in or contemplated by the Commitment Letter or (ii) any reduction to the aggregate amount available under the Commitment Letter at Closing (nor any term or condition that would have the effect of reducing the aggregate amount available under the Commitment Letter at Closing) to an amount that would be insufficient for the Parent and Merger Sub to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.

Section 4.05 Legal Proceedings. As of the date hereof, there is no pending or, to the Knowledge of Parent, threatened, Legal Action against Parent or any of its Subsidiaries, including Merger Sub, nor is there any injunction, order, judgment, ruling, or decree imposed upon Parent or any of its Subsidiaries, including Merger Sub, in each case, by or before any Governmental Entity, that would, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on Parent’s and Merger Sub’s ability to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Section 4.06 Ownership of Company Common Stock. Neither Parent, Merger Sub or any of their stockholders, directors or executive officer is the beneficial owner of any shares of Company Common Stock.

Section 4.07 Brokers. Except for fees payable to Lazard Frères SAS, the fees and expenses of which will be paid by Parent, neither Parent nor Merger Sub has incurred, nor will it incur, directly or indirectly, any liability for investment banker, brokerage, or finders’ fees or agents’ commissions, or any similar charges in connection with this Agreement or any transaction contemplated by this Agreement for which the Company would be liable in connection the Merger.

Section 4.08 Disclaimer of Reliance. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, Parent acknowledges and agrees that none of the Company or any other Person has made or is making, and Parent and Merger Sub expressly disclaim reliance upon, any representations, warranties, or statements relating to the Company or its Subsidiaries whatsoever, express or implied, beyond those expressly given by the Company in Article III, including any implied representation or warranty as to the accuracy or completeness of any information regarding the Company furnished or made available to Parent, Merger Sub, or any of their respective Representatives. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Parent and Merger Sub acknowledge that, except and only to the extent expressly set forth in Article III of this Agreement, no representations or warranties are made with respect to any projections, forecasts, estimates, budgets, or prospect information that may have been made available to Parent, Merger Sub, or any of their respective Representatives (including in certain “data rooms,” “virtual data rooms,” management presentations or in any other form in expectation of, or in connection with, the Merger or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement).

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 5.01(a), the Company and its Subsidiaries may, without Parent’s consent (i) make or continue any reasonably necessary changes in their respective business practices as required by applicable Law (including to the extent such business practices were adopted prior to the date hereof in response to the COVID-19 Pandemic and any COVID-19 Measures to comply with applicable Law), and (ii) continue or take such further actions as are commercially reasonably necessary in order to (A) protect the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ employees, suppliers, partners and other individuals having business dealings with the Company and its Subsidiaries in response to any health or safety emergency caused by the COVID-19 pandemic or any COVID-19 Measures where time is of the essence and obtaining Parent’s prior consent would not be reasonably practicable under the circumstance, or (B) respond to third-party supply or service disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic or any COVID-19 Measures in a commercially reasonable manner; provided further, that, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, the Company shall, as promptly as practicable, keep Parent reasonably informed of, and consult with Parent with respect to, any action(s) that would otherwise require Parent’s consent prior to taking any such action(s) under Section 5.01, and the Company, to the extent reasonably practicable, shall consider in good faith all recommendations made by Parent.

Section 5.02 Other Actions. From the date of this Agreement until the earlier to occur of the Effective Time or the termination of this Agreement in accordance with the terms set forth in Article VII, the Company and Parent shall not, and shall not permit any of their respective Subsidiaries to, take, or agree or commit to take, any action that would reasonably be expected to, individually or in the aggregate, prevent, materially delay, or materially impede the consummation of the Merger or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Section 5.03 Access to Information; Confidentiality.

(a) For purposes of furthering the transactions contemplated hereby, from the date of this Agreement until the earlier to occur of the Effective Time or the termination of this Agreement in accordance with the terms set forth in Article VII, the Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, afford to Parent and Parent’s Representatives reasonable access, during normal business hours upon reasonable advance notice to the Company and in a manner as shall not unreasonably interfere with the business or operations of the Company or any Subsidiary thereof, to the officers, employees, accountants, agents, properties, offices, and other facilities and to all books, records, contracts, and other assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries, and the Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, furnish promptly to Parent such other information concerning the business and properties of the Company and its Subsidiaries as Parent may reasonably request from time to time. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall be required to provide access to or disclose information where such access or disclosure would (i) violate the attorney-client privilege of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or (ii) conflict with any (A) Law applicable to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or the assets, or operation of the business, of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or (B) confidentiality obligation contained within a Contract to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which any of their assets or properties are bound. Without limiting the foregoing, in the event that the Company does not provide access or information in reliance on the immediately preceding sentence, it shall promptly provide notice to Parent that it is withholding such access or information and the basis for such withholding and shall use its reasonable best efforts to enable full access to such information to be furnished or made available to Parent without so violating privilege or protection, incurring liability, or contravening applicable Law or Contract or obligation, including by entering into a customary joint defense agreement or common interest agreement with Parent (to the extent such an agreement would preserve the applicable privilege or protection), seeking the consent of third parties, redacting parts of documents or sharing “clean summaries of information”. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 5.03(a), any document, correspondence or information or other access provided pursuant to this Section 5.03(a) may be redacted or otherwise limited to the extent required to prevent disclosure of information prepared by a financial advisor concerning the valuation of the Company or other similarly confidential or competitively sensitive information.

37

(b) The parties hereto hereby agree that all information provided to them or their respective Representatives in connection with this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby shall be governed in accordance with Confidentiality Agreement, effective as of May 13, 2021, between Parent and the Company (the “Confidentiality Agreement”), which shall survive the termination of this Agreement in accordance with the terms set forth therein.

Section 5.04 No Solicitation.

(a) The Company shall not, and shall cause its Subsidiaries and its and their respective directors, officers and employees not to, and shall direct and use reasonable best efforts to cause its and their respective agents, advisors, investment bankers and other representatives (with respect to any Person, the foregoing Persons are referred to herein as such Person’s “Representatives”) not to, directly or indirectly, solicit, initiate, propose or knowingly take any action to facilitate, encourage or induce the making, the submission or announcement of, any Takeover Proposal or the making of any proposal that would reasonably be expected to lead to any Takeover Proposal, or, subject to Section 5.04(b): (i) conduct or engage in any discussions or negotiations with, disclose any non-public information relating to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to any Person or its Representatives, or afford to any Person or its Representatives access to the business, properties, assets, books, records or other non-public information, or to any personnel of the Company or its Subsidiaries (other than Parent, Merger Sub or any designees of Parent or Merger Sub), in each case, which actions or circumstances would reasonably be expected to lead to, result in or facilitate or that is otherwise known to be relating to a Takeover Proposal, including the making, submission or announcement thereof; (ii) knowingly assist, participate in, facilitate or encourage any effort by, any third party that is seeking to make, or has made, any Takeover Proposal; (iii) except where the Company Board makes a good faith determination that the failure to do so would be reasonably likely to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties, amend or grant any waiver or release under any standstill or similar agreement with respect to any class of equity securities of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any limit on making Takeover Proposals; or (iv) approve, recommend, or propose to approve or recommend, or execute or enter into any letter of intent, term sheet or other Contract or other agreement or understanding (whether binding or non-binding, written or oral, preliminary or definitive) relating to any Takeover Proposal (each, a “Company Acquisition Agreement”). The Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries, and shall direct and use reasonable best efforts to cause its and their respective Representatives to, cease immediately and cause to be terminated any and all existing activities, discussions, or negotiations, if any, with any third party conducted prior to the date hereof with respect to any Takeover Proposal, including immediately terminating all access granted to any third party to any physical or electronic data room, and shall direct and use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause any such third party (or its agents or advisors) in possession of non-public information in respect of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that was furnished by or on behalf of the Company and its Subsidiaries to promptly return or destroy all such information. Without limiting the foregoing, it is agreed that if any Representative of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, acting at the Company’s direction or with the Knowledge of the Company, take any action that, if taken by the Company, would constitute a breach of this Section 5.04, such action shall constitute a breach of this Section 5.04 by the Company.

38

(b) Notwithstanding Section 5.04(a), if, at any time following the date hereof but prior to the receipt of the Company Shareholder Approval, the Company or any of its Representatives receives an unsolicited bona fide written Takeover Proposal that did not result from a breach of this Section 5.04, (i) the Company and its Representatives may engage in contact with the Person or group of Persons making the Takeover Proposal solely to clarify the terms and conditions thereof or to request that any Takeover Proposal made orally be made in writing; and (ii) if the Company Board (or a committee thereof) has determined in good faith (after consultation with its independent financial advisor and outside legal counsel) that such Takeover Proposal either constitutes a Superior Proposal or would reasonably be expected to result in a Superior Proposal, then the Company and the Company Board (or a committee thereof) may, subject to Section 5.04(c), directly or indirectly through any Representative: (A) participate in negotiations or discussions with any third party that has made a bona fide, unsolicited Takeover Proposal in writing; and (B) thereafter furnish to such third party non-public information relating to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, subject to (x) first entering into an executed confidentiality agreement that constitutes an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement with such third party and (y) the Company promptly (and in any event within 24 hours) providing to Parent any such non-public information in the event such information was not previously made available to Parent; but in each case referred to in the foregoing clauses (A) and (B), only if the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel, that the failure to take such action would be reasonably likely to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law. Nothing contained herein shall prevent the Company Board from disclosing to the Company’s shareholders a position contemplated by Rule 14d-9 and Rule 14e-2(a) promulgated under the Exchange Act with regard to a Takeover Proposal, if the Company Board determines, after consultation with outside legal counsel, that failure to disclose such position would constitute a violation of applicable Law, it being understood that (i) any such disclosure made by the Company Board must be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and will not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Company or the Company Board and the rights of Parent under this Section 5.04 and (ii) nothing in the foregoing will be deemed to permit the Company or the Company Board (or a committee thereof) to effect a Company Adverse Recommendation Change other than in accordance with Section 5.04(d) and Section 5.04(e).

(c) From the date of this Agreement until the earlier to occur of the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Article VII and the Effective Time, the Company shall notify Parent in writing as promptly as reasonably practicable (but in no event later than two (2) calendar days) after it receives or, to the Knowledge of the Company, its Representatives receive, any Takeover Proposal, or any inquiry that could reasonably be expected to lead to a Takeover Proposal, any request for non-public information relating to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or for access to the business, properties, assets, books, or records of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries by any third party. In such notice, the Company shall include (i) the identity of the third party making any such Takeover Proposal, inquiry or request, (ii) a copy of any such Takeover Proposal, inquiry or request made in writing and any other written terms and proposals provided (including financing commitments) to the Company or its Representatives, (iii) a written summary of the material terms and conditions of any such Takeover Proposal, inquiry or request not made in writing, and (iv) an indication of whether the Company or Company Board intends to take any of the actions referred to in clauses (ii)(A) and (B) of Section 5.04(b). For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing obligations of the Company shall include an obligation to keep Parent reasonably informed, on a prompt basis (and in any event within one (1) Business Day of any material developments), of the status and material terms and developments of any such Takeover Proposal, indication or request, including any material amendments or proposed amendments as to price and other material terms thereof.

39

(d) Except as expressly permitted by this Section 5.04, the Company Board shall not effect a Company Adverse Recommendation Change or enter into (or permit any Subsidiary to enter into) a Company Acquisition Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time prior to the receipt of the Company Shareholder Approval, the Company Board may effect a Company Adverse Recommendation Change or enter into (or permit any Subsidiary to enter into) a definitive written Company Acquisition Agreement in connection with such Company Adverse Recommendation Change, only if: (i) the Company promptly notifies Parent, in writing, at least five (5) Business Days (the “Superior Proposal Notice Period”) before making a Company Adverse Recommendation Change or entering into (or causing a Subsidiary to enter into) such definitive written Company Acquisition Agreement, of its intention to take such action with respect to a Superior Proposal, which notice shall state expressly (A) that the Company has received a Takeover Proposal that has not been withdrawn and that the Company Board (or a committee thereof) has concluded in good faith (after consultation with its financial advisor and outside legal counsel) constitutes a Superior Proposal; (B) to the extent not previously provided to Parent pursuant to Section 5.04(c) (and without limiting the obligations under Section 5.04(c)), the material terms of such Takeover Proposal, the identity of the Person or group of Persons making such Takeover Proposal and copies of all agreements, proposals and other documents (including financing commitments) relating to such Takeover Proposal; and (C) that the Company Board intends to effect a Company Adverse Recommendation Change or to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.04(a) absent revisions to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, which notice will specify the basis for such Company Adverse Recommendation Change or such termination; and (ii) prior to effecting such Company Adverse Recommendation Change or such termination, the Company and its Representatives, during the Superior Proposal Notice Period, negotiate with Parent in good faith to make such adjustments to the terms and conditions of this Agreement so that such Takeover Proposal ceases to constitute a Superior Proposal, if Parent, in its discretion, elects to engage in such negotiations (it being agreed that in the event that, after commencement of the Superior Proposal Notice Period, there is any revision in price or any material revision to the terms of a Superior Proposal, the Superior Proposal Notice Period shall be extended, if applicable, to ensure that at least three (3) Business Days remain in the Superior Proposal Notice Period subsequent to the time the Company notifies Parent of any such revision in price or material revision (it being understood that there may be multiple extensions and that all notice obligations of the Company set forth in Section 5.04(c) and this Section 5.04(d) shall apply with respect to each such revision in price or material revision)); (iii) the Company has complied in all material respects with its obligations pursuant to this Section 5.04 with respect to such Takeover Proposal and (iv) the Company Board determines in good faith, after consulting with outside legal counsel and its Company Financial Advisor, that such Takeover Proposal continues to constitute a Superior Proposal after taking into account any adjustments made by Parent during the Superior Proposal Notice Period to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, in response to an Intervening Event that has occurred after the date of this Agreement but prior to the receipt of the Company Shareholder Approval, the Company Board may effect a Company Adverse Recommendation Change if: (i) prior to effecting the Company Adverse Recommendation Change, the Company promptly notifies Parent, in writing, at least five (5) Business Days (the “Intervening Event Notice Period”) before taking such action of its intent to consider such action (which notice shall not, by itself, constitute a Company Adverse Recommendation Change), and which notice shall include a reasonably detailed

description of the underlying facts giving rise to the Intervening Event, and the reasons for taking, such action; (ii) the Company shall, and shall cause its Representatives to, during the Intervening Event Notice Period, negotiate with Parent in good faith to make such adjustments in the terms and conditions of this Agreement so that the Company Board would no longer determine underlying facts giving rise to, and the reasons for taking such action, ceases to constitute an Intervening Event, if Parent, in its discretion, proposes to make such adjustments (it being agreed that in the event that, after commencement of the Intervening Event Notice Period, there is any material development in an Intervening Event, the Intervening Event Notice Period shall be extended, if applicable, to ensure that at least three (3) Business Days remains in the Intervening Event Notice Period subsequent to the time the Company notifies Parent of any such material development (it being understood that there may be multiple extensions)); (iii) the Company has complied in all material respects with its obligations pursuant to this Section 5.04(e) with respect to such Intervening Event and (iv) the Company Board determines in good faith, after consulting with outside legal counsel and its Company Financial Advisor, that the failure to effect such Company Adverse Recommendation Change, after taking into account any adjustments made by Parent during the Intervening Event Notice Period, would be reasonably likely to be inconsistent with the Company Board’s fiduciary duties under applicable Law. The Company acknowledges and hereby agrees that any Company Adverse Recommendation Change effected (or proposed to be effected) in response to or in connection with any Takeover Proposal may be made solely and exclusively pursuant to Section 5.04(d) only, and may not be made pursuant to this Section 5.04(e), and any Company Adverse Recommendation Change may only be made pursuant to thisSection 5.04 and no other provisions of this Agreement.

Section 5.05 Shareholder Meeting; Preparation of Proxy Materials; Approval by Sole Shareholder of Merger Sub.

(a) The Company shall take all action necessary to conduct a “broker search” in accordance with Rule 14a-13 of the Exchange Act, establish a record date, duly call, give notice of, convene, and hold the Company Shareholders Meeting, in each case, as soon as reasonably practicable after the date of this Agreement (and shall not adjourn or postpone the Company Shareholders Meeting without the consent of Parent), and, in connection therewith, the Company shall mail the Company Proxy Statement to the holders of Company Common Stock in advance of such meeting. Except to the extent that the Company Board shall have effected a Company Adverse Recommendation Change as permitted by Section 5.04 hereof, the Company Proxy Statement shall include the Company Board Recommendation. Subject to Section 5.04 hereof, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to: (i) solicit from the holders of Company Common Stock proxies in favor of the adoption of this Agreement and approval of the Merger; and (ii) take all other actions necessary or advisable to secure the vote or consent of the holders of Company Common Stock required by applicable Law to obtain such approval.

(b) In connection with the Company Shareholders Meeting, as soon as reasonably practicable following the date of this Agreement (and in any event within fifteen (15) Business Days) the Company shall prepare and file the preliminary Company Proxy Statement with the SEC. Parent, Merger Sub, and the Company will cooperate and consult with each other in the preparation of the Company Proxy Statement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each of Parent and Merger Sub will furnish the Company the information relating to it required by the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder to be set forth in the Company Proxy Statement. The Company shall not file the Company Proxy Statement, or any amendment or supplement thereto,

41

without providing Parent and its legal counsel a reasonable opportunity to review and comment thereon (which comments shall be reasonably considered by the Company) and the Company agrees that all information relating to Parent and its Subsidiaries included in the Proxy Statement shall be in form and content reasonably satisfactory to Parent. The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to resolve, and each party agrees to consult and cooperate with the other party in resolving, all SEC comments with respect to the Company Proxy Statement as promptly as practicable after receipt thereof and to cause the Company Proxy Statement in definitive form to be cleared by the SEC and mailed to the Company’s shareholders as promptly as commercially reasonably practicable following filing with the SEC. The Company agrees to consult with Parent prior to responding to SEC comments with respect to the preliminary Company Proxy Statement. Each of Parent, Merger Sub, and the Company agree to correct any information provided by it for use in the Company Proxy Statement which shall have become false or misleading and the Company shall promptly prepare and mail to its shareholders an amendment or supplement setting forth such correction (to the extent such correction is material and a filing alone with the SEC of such correction would not be sufficient). The Company shall as soon as commercially reasonably practicable: (i) notify Parent of the receipt of any comments from the SEC with respect to the Company Proxy Statement and any request by the SEC for any amendment to the Company Proxy Statement or for additional information; and (ii) provide Parent with copies of all written correspondence between the Company and its Representatives, on the one hand, and the SEC, on the other hand, with respect to the Company Proxy Statement.

(c) Immediately following the execution and delivery of this Agreement, Parent, as sole shareholder of Merger Sub, shall adopt this Agreement and approve the Merger, in accordance with applicable Law.

Section 5.06 Notices of Certain Events; Shareholder Litigation; No Effect on Disclosure Letter.

(a) The Company shall notify Parent and Merger Sub, and Parent and Merger Sub shall notify the Company, promptly of: (i) any notice or other communication from any Person alleging that the material consent of such Person is or may be required in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; (ii) any material notice or other communication from any Governmental Entity in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; and (iii) any event, change, or effect between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time which causes or is reasonably likely to cause the failure of the conditions set forth in Section 6.01, Section 6.02(a), Section 6.02(b), or Section 6.02(c) of this Agreement (in the case of the Company and its Subsidiaries) or Section 6.01, Section 6.03(a) or Section 6.03(b) of this Agreement (in the case of Parent and Merger Sub), to be satisfied.

(b) Prior to the earlier of the Effective Time or the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Article VII, each party shall promptly advise the other in writing after becoming aware of any Legal Action commenced after the date hereof against Parent, the Company or any of its directors by any shareholder of the Company (on their own behalf or on behalf of the Company) relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby (including the Merger) and shall keep the other party reasonably informed regarding any such Legal Action. Each party shall give the other party the opportunity to consult and participate in any such Legal Action regarding the defense or settlement of any such Legal Action, and shall consider such party’s views and comments with respect to such Legal Action. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section

42

5.01, the Company shall not compromise, settle or come to an arrangement regarding, or agree to compromise, settle or come to an arrangement regarding, any such Legal Action unless Parent has provided its prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed, or conditioned). For purposes of this Section 5.06(b), “participate” means that each party will be kept apprised of proposed strategy and other significant decisions by the other party with respect to Legal Actions (to the extent that attorney-client privilege between such party and its counsel is not impaired; it being understood that the Company and Parent shall use reasonable best efforts to enter into arrangements to avoid impairing privilege), and each party may offer comments or suggestions with respect to such Legal Actions but will not be afforded any decision-making power over such Legal Action prior to the Effective Time, except for the settlement or compromise consent set forth above and except that each party shall take into account such other party’s recommendations in good faith.

(c) In no event shall: (i) the delivery of any notice by a party pursuant to Section 5.06(a) limit or otherwise affect the respective rights, obligations, representations, warranties, covenants, or agreements of the parties or the conditions to the obligations of the parties under this Agreement or the remedies available to the parties under this Agreement; or (ii) disclosure by the Company or Parent pursuant to Section 5.06(a) be deemed to amend or supplement the Company Disclosure Letter or constitute an exception to any representation or warranty. Section 5.06(a) shall not constitute a covenant or agreement for purposes of Section 6.02(b) or Section 6.03(b).

Section 5.07 Employees; Benefit Plans.

(a) During the period commencing at the Effective Time and ending on the date which is twelve months from the Effective Time (or if earlier, the date of the employee’s termination of employment with Parent and its Subsidiaries), Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation and each of its Subsidiaries, as applicable, to provide the employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries who remain employed immediately after the Effective Time (collectively, the “Company Continuing Employees”) with annual base salary or wage level, annual target bonus opportunities, and employee benefits (excluding, any U.S.-based defined benefit pension plans, any non-qualified deferred compensation plans or programs, and any equity compensation arrangements, the “Excluded Benefits”) that are, in the aggregate, no less favorable than the annual base salary or wage level, annual target bonus opportunities, and employee benefits provided by the Company and its Subsidiaries on the date of this Agreement.

(b) With respect to any “employee benefit plan” as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA maintained by Parent or any of its Subsidiaries, excluding the Excluded Benefits (collectively, “Parent Benefit Plans”) in which any Company Continuing Employees will participate effective as of the Effective Time, and subject to the terms of the governing plan documents, Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, credit all service of the Company Continuing Employees with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, as the case may be as if such service were with Parent, for purposes of eligibility to participate and vesting (but not for purposes of benefit accrual, except for vacation, if applicable) for full or partial years of service in any Parent Benefit Plan in which such Company Continuing Employees may be eligible to participate after the Effective Time; provided, that such service shall not be credited to the extent that: (i) such crediting would result in a duplication of benefits; or (ii) such service was not credited under the corresponding Company Benefit Plan.

43

(c) If Parent provides written notice to the Company no later than five (5) Business Days prior to the Effective Time, that it has determined in good faith (after consultation with the Company and taking into account the Company’s recommendation in good faith) to terminate the Company’s Company Benefit Plan intended to qualify as a qualified cash or deferred arrangement under Section 401(k) of the Code, the Company, shall one (1) Business Day prior to the Effective Time, adopt resolutions terminating any such Company Benefit Plan intended to qualify as a qualified cash or deferred arrangement under Section 401(k) of the Code, effective no later than the day immediately preceding the date the Company and Parent become members of the same controlled group of corporations (as defined in Section 414(b) of the Code). The form and substance of such resolutions shall be subject to the reasonable approval of Parent, and the Company shall provide evidence that such resolutions have been adopted by the Company and/or its Subsidiaries, as applicable.

(d) This Section 5.07 shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of each of the parties to this Agreement, and nothing in this Section 5.07, express or implied, shall confer upon any Company Employee, any beneficiary, or any other Person any rights or remedies of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Section 5.07. Nothing contained herein, express or implied: (i) shall be construed to establish, amend, or modify any benefit plan, program, agreement, or arrangement; (ii) shall alter or limit the ability of the Surviving Corporation, Parent, or any of their respective Affiliates to amend, modify, or terminate any benefit plan, program, agreement, or arrangement at any time assumed, established, sponsored, or maintained by any of them; or (iii) shall prevent the Surviving Corporation, Parent, or any of their respective Affiliates from terminating the employment of any Company Continuing Employee following the Effective Time. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the terms set forth in this Section 5.07 shall not create any right in any Company Employee or any other Person to any continued employment with the Surviving Corporation, Parent, or any of their respective Subsidiaries or compensation or benefits of any nature or kind whatsoever, or otherwise alters any existing at-will employment relationship between any Company Employee and the Surviving Corporation.

(e) With respect to matters described in this Agreement, including this Section 5.07, the Company will not send any written notices or other written communication materials to Company Employees without the prior written consent of Parent.

Section 5.08 Directors’ and Officers’ Indemnification and Insurance.

(a) Parent and Merger Sub agree to cause the Surviving Corporation to assure that all rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses, and exculpation by the Company now existing in favor of each Person who is now, or has been at any time prior to the date hereof or who becomes prior to the Effective Time an officer or director of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (each an “Indemnified Party”) for any acts or omissions by such Indemnified Party occurring prior to the Effective Time, as provided in the Charter Documents of the Company, in each case as in effect on the date of this Agreement, or pursuant to any other Contracts in effect on the date hereof and disclosed in Section 5.08 of the Company Disclosure Letter, shall be assumed by the Surviving Corporation in the Merger, without further action, at the Effective Time and shall survive the Merger and shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with their terms. For a period of six years from the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall, and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, maintain in effect the exculpation, indemnification, and advancement of expenses at least as favorable to the provisions of the Charter Documents of the Company as in effect as of the date of this Agreement with

44

respect to acts or omissions by any Indemnified Party occurring prior to the Effective Time, and shall not (except as required by applicable Law) amend, repeal, or otherwise modify any such provisions in any manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of any Indemnified Party; provided that all rights to indemnification in respect of any claim made for indemnification within such period shall continue until the disposition of such action or resolution of such claim.

(b) The Company shall obtain as of the Effective Time “tail” insurance policies with a claims period of six years from the Effective Time with at least the same coverage and amounts as in the Company’s directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy in effect as of the date hereof (“D&O Insurance”) and containing terms and conditions that are not less advantageous to the Indemnified Parties, in each case with respect to claims arising out of or relating to events which occurred before or at the Effective Time (including in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) (the “D&O Tail Policy”); provided that in no event shall the cost of the D&O Tail Policy exceed 300% of the annual premium paid by the Company prior to the date hereof in respect of the D&O Insurance. During the term of the D&O Tail Policy, Parent shall not (and shall cause the Surviving Corporation not to) take any action following the Closing to cause the D&O Tail Policy to be cancelled or any provision therein to be amended or waived.

(c) The obligations of Parent, Merger Sub, and the Surviving Corporation under this Section 5.08 shall survive the consummation of the Merger and shall not be terminated or modified in such a manner as to adversely affect any Indemnified Party to whom this Section 5.08 applies without the consent of such affected Indemnified Party (it being expressly agreed that the Indemnified Parties to whom this Section 5.08 applies shall be third party beneficiaries of this Section 5.08, each of whom may enforce the provisions of this Section 5.08).

(d) In the event Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective successors or assigns: (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity in such consolidation or merger; or (ii) transfers all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in either such case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Parent or the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, shall assume all of its applicable obligations set forth in this Section 5.08. The agreements and covenants contained herein shall not be deemed to be exclusive of any other rights to which any Indemnified Party is entitled, whether pursuant to Law, Contract, or otherwise. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to, shall be construed to, or shall release, waive, or impair any rights to directors’ and officers’ insurance claims under any policy that is or has been in existence with respect to the Company or its officers, directors, and employees, it being understood and agreed that the indemnification provided for in this Section 5.08 is not prior to, or in substitution for, any such claims under any such policies.

(e) The Parent shall pay all expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, that may be incurred by the persons referred to in this Section 5.08 in connection with the valid and successful enforcement of their rights provided in this Section 5.08.

Section 5.09 Reasonable Best Efforts.

(a) Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement (including those contained in this Section 5.09), each of the parties hereto shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, use its reasonable best efforts to promptly take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, and to assist and cooperate with the other parties in doing, all things necessary, proper, or advisable to consummate and make effective, and to satisfy all conditions to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement as promptly as reasonably practicable (and in no event later than the Outside Date), including: (i) the obtaining of all necessary Permits, waivers, and actions or nonactions from Governmental Entities and the making of all necessary registrations and filings (including filings with Governmental Entities) and the taking of all steps as may be necessary to obtain an approval or waiver from, or to avoid an action or proceeding by, any Governmental Entities; and (ii) the execution and delivery of any additional instruments necessary to consummate the Merger and to fully carry out the purposes of this Agreement. The Company and Parent shall, subject to applicable Law, promptly: (A) cooperate and coordinate with the other in the taking of the actions contemplated by clauses (i) and (ii) immediately above; and (B) supply the other with any information that may be reasonably required in order to effectuate the taking of such actions. Each party hereto shall promptly inform the other party or parties hereto, as the case may be, of any communication from any Governmental Entity regarding any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. If the Company, on the one hand, or Parent or Merger Sub, on the other hand, receives a request for additional information or documentary material from any Governmental Entity with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, then it shall use reasonable best efforts to make, or cause to be made, as soon as reasonably practicable and after consultation with the other party, an appropriate response in compliance with such request, and, if permitted by applicable Law and by any applicable Governmental Entity, provide the other party’s counsel with advance notice and the opportunity to attend and participate in any meeting with any Governmental Entity in respect of any filing made thereto in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Neither party hereto shall participate in any meeting or teleconference with any Governmental Entity where material issues are reasonably expected to be discussed in connection with this Agreement and the transaction contemplated hereby unless, so long as reasonably practicable and permitted by applicable Law, it consults with the other party in advance and, to the extent permitted by such Governmental Entity, gives the other party the opportunity to attend and participate thereat. Each party hereto shall furnish the other party with copies of all material correspondence, filings and communications (and memoranda setting forth the substance thereof) between it and any such Governmental Entity with respect to this Agreement and the transaction contemplated hereby, and furnish the other party with such necessary information and reasonable assistance as the other party may reasonably request in connection with its preparation of necessary filings or submissions of information to any such Governmental Entity; provided, however, that each party may, as it deems advisable and necessary, reasonably designate any competitively sensitive materials provided pursuant to this Section 5.09 as “outside counsel only,” and provided further that materials may be redacted (i) to remove references concerning the valuation of Company or Parent and the transaction contemplated hereby or other confidential information, (ii) as necessary to comply with contractual arrangements, and (iii) as necessary to address reasonable privilege or confidentiality concerns. The parties shall discuss in advance the strategy and timing for obtaining any clearances required under Antitrust Laws; provided, however, that (but, for the avoidance of doubt, subject to the Company’s consultation and participation rights described above,Section 5.05(b), Section 5.06(b) and Section 5.09(d)), Parent shall, on behalf of the parties, (but only to the extent relating to the matters that occur from and after the Closing or that would be conditioned on the occurrence of the Closing) devise and lead all meetings, communications, negotiations and strategy (including defense strategy) for dealing with

46

any Governmental Entity in connection with obtaining all consents, approvals, clearances and other authorizations of any Governmental Entity set forth on Section 6.01 of the Company Disclosure Letter, satisfying the conditions set forth in Section 6.01(b), and any matters that otherwise relate to Antitrust Laws in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in the foregoing sentence shall (x) give Parent the right to control or lead on matters unrelated to this Agreement or unrelated to the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, or (y) require the Company to take or agree to take any action (including any disposition, licensing, holding separate or conduct remedy) or to limit or agree to limit the Company’s freedom of action in any respect unless, as set forth in Section 5.09(d) below, the effectiveness of any such agreement, action or limitation is conditioned upon (and such action or limitation takes effect following) the Closing. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (A) Parent’s obligations to take or cause to take any actions described in this Section 5.09, shall be subject, in each case, to the right of Parent, in Parent’s good faith reasonable discretion, to take reasonable periods of time in order to advocate and negotiate with Governmental Entities with respect to such actions, and (B) subject to the Company’s consultation and participation rights described above, if there are multiple alternative actions or remedies which may result in obtaining any consents, approvals, clearances and other authorizations of any Governmental Entity set forth on Section 6.01 of the Company Disclosure Letter and satisfying the conditions set forth in Section 6.01(b), then Parent shall have sole discretion over which alternative actions or remedies to propose (to the extent that no such remedies take effect prior to the Closing without the Company’s consent).

(b) Without limiting the generality of the undertakings pursuant toSection 5.09(a) hereof, the parties hereto shall: (i) provide or cause to be provided as promptly as reasonably practicable to Governmental Entities with jurisdiction over the Antitrust Laws (each such Governmental Entity, a “Governmental Antitrust Authority”) information and documents requested by any Governmental Antitrust Authority as necessary, proper, or advisable to permit consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement as promptly as reasonably practicable (and in no event later than the Outside Date), including preparing and filing any notification and report form and related material required under the HSR Act and any additional consents and filings under any other Antitrust Laws as promptly as reasonably practicable following the date of this Agreement (provided, that in the case of the filing under the HSR Act, such filing shall be made within fifteen (15) Business Days of the date of this Agreement) and thereafter to respond as promptly as reasonably practicable to any request for additional information or documentary material that may be made under the HSR Act or any other applicable Antitrust Laws; and (ii) subject to the terms set forth in Section 5.09(d) hereof, use their reasonable best efforts to promptly take such actions as are necessary or advisable to obtain approval of the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement by any Governmental Entity or expiration of applicable waiting periods as promptly as reasonably practicable (and in no event later than the Outside Date).

(c) In the event that any administrative or judicial action or proceeding is instituted (or threatened to be instituted) by a Governmental Entity or private party challenging the Merger or any other transaction contemplated by this Agreement, or any other agreement contemplated hereby, each of the Company and Parent shall, subject to Section 5.09(d), cooperate and use reasonable best efforts to contest and resist any such action or proceeding and to have vacated, lifted, reversed or overturned any decree, judgment, injunction or other order, whether temporary, preliminary or permanent, that is in effect and that prohibits, prevents or restricts consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby from occurring prior to the Outside Date.

47

(d) Without limiting the generality of Parent’s undertakings pursuant to this Section 5.09, Parent agrees to use its reasonable best efforts including by promptly taking any and all steps necessary to avoid or eliminate each and every impediment under any Antitrust Law that may be asserted by any Governmental Entity or any other Person so as to enable the parties to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement as promptly as reasonably practicable (and in no event later than the Outside Date), including proposing, negotiating, committing to and effecting, by consent decree, order, hold separate orders, or otherwise the sale, divestiture or disposition of any of its assets, properties or businesses or of the assets, properties or businesses to be acquired by it pursuant to this Agreement as are required to be divested in order to avoid the entry of, or to effect the dissolution of, any injunction, temporary restraining order or other Order in any suit or proceeding, which would otherwise have the effect of materially delaying or preventing the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement from occurring prior to the Outside Date. In addition, Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts including by defending through Legal Action on the merits any claim asserted in any Governmental Entity by any party in order to avoid entry of, or to have vacated or terminated, any Order (whether temporary, preliminary or permanent) that would prevent the consummation of the Closing from occurring prior to the Outside Date. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) the Company shall not take or agree to take any actions described in this Section 5.09(d) without the prior written approval of Parent and (ii) neither Parent nor the Company shall be required to take or agree to take any action (including any disposition, licensing, holding separate or conduct remedy) or to limit or agree to limit Parent’s freedom of action or that of the Company or of any Subsidiary in any respect unless (x) such agreement, action or limitation would not reasonably be expected to, individually or in the aggregate, result in a Substantial Detriment and (y) the effectiveness of any such agreement, action or limitation is conditioned upon the Closing. “Substantial Detriment” means a material adverse effect on the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, Parent, or the pro forma Parent (together with the Company and its Subsidiaries) (but assuming for this purpose that Parent or the pro forma Parent is the size, and has the aggregate financial and operating metrics, of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole).

Section 5.10 Public Announcements. The initial press release with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be a release mutually agreed to by the Company and Parent. Thereafter, each of the Company, Parent, and Merger Sub agrees that no public release or announcement concerning the transactions contemplated hereby shall be issued by any party without the prior written consent of the Company and Parent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed), except as may be required by applicable Law or the rules or regulations of any applicable United States securities exchange or other Governmental Entity to which the relevant party is subject or submits, in which case the party required to make the release or announcement shall use its reasonable best efforts to allow the other party reasonable time to comment on such release or announcement in advance of such issuance. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the restrictions set forth in this Section 5.10 shall not apply to any release or announcement made or proposed to be made in connection with and related to a Company Adverse Recommendation Change or in compliance with Section 5.04.

48

Section 5.11 Anti-Takeover Statutes. If any “control share acquisition,” “fair price,” “moratorium,” or other anti-takeover Law becomes or is deemed to be applicable to Parent, the Merger Sub, the Company, the Merger, or any other transaction contemplated by this Agreement, then each of the Company and the Company Board shall grant such approvals and take such actions as are necessary so that the transactions contemplated hereby may be consummated as promptly as practicable on the terms contemplated hereby and otherwise act to eliminate or minimize the effects of such anti-takeover Law on the transactions contemplated hereby.

Section 5.12 Section 16 Matters. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall take all such steps as may be required to cause to be exempt under Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act any dispositions of shares of Company Common Stock (including derivative securities with respect to such shares) that are treated as dispositions under such rule and result from the transactions contemplated by this Agreement by each director or officer of the Company who is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act with respect to the Company.

Section 5.13 Obligations of Merger Sub. Parent will take all action necessary to cause Merger Sub to perform its obligations under this Agreement and to consummate the Merger on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.

Section 5.14 Stock Exchange Delisting. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company will cooperate with Parent and use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and do, or cause to be done, all things reasonably necessary, proper or advisable on its part pursuant to applicable Law and the rules and regulations of Nasdaq to cause (a) the delisting of the Company Common Stock from Nasdaq as promptly as practicable after the Effective Time; and (b) the deregistration of the Company Common Stock pursuant to the Exchange Act as promptly as practicable after such delisting.

Section 5.15 Resignations. At the Closing, the Company shall deliver to Parent evidence reasonably satisfactory to Parent of the resignation of the directors of the Company and its Subsidiaries set forth on Section 5.15 of the Company Disclosure Schedule, effective at the Effective Time.

Section 5.16 Further Assurances. At and after the Effective Time, the officers and directors of the Surviving Corporation shall be authorized to execute and deliver, in the name and on behalf of the Company or Merger Sub, any deeds, bills of sale, assignments, or assurances and to take and do, in the name and on behalf of the Company or Merger Sub, any other actions and things to vest, perfect, or confirm of record or otherwise in the Surviving Corporation any and all right, title, and interest in, to and under any of the rights, properties, or assets of the Company acquired or to be acquired by the Surviving Corporation as a result of, or in connection with, the Merger.

Section 5.17 Financing.

(a) Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions necessary, proper and advisable to consummate and obtain the proceeds of the Financing prior to the Outside Date on the terms and conditions described in the Commitment Letter, including using its reasonable best efforts to:

(i) maintain in effect the Commitment Letter in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions thereof;

(ii) negotiate and enter into all of the definitive agreements with respect to the Financing (the “Definitive Agreements”) consistent with the terms and conditions contained therein (including, as necessary, the “flex” provisions contained in any related fee letter) on or prior to the Closing Date or on other terms no less favorable to the Parent taken as a whole (including with respect to the conditionality thereof);

49

(iii) satisfy on a timely basis (or obtain a waiver to) all conditions to funding that are applicable to Parent and its Subsidiaries in the Commitment Letter and the Definitive Agreements with respect to the Financing contemplated by the Commitment Letter,

(iv) fully pay, or cause to be fully paid, all commitment or other fees arising pursuant to the Commitment Letter as and when they become due;

(v) comply with its obligations in the Commitment Letter and the Definitive Agreements and enforce its rights under the Commitment Letter and Definitive Agreements; and

(vi) consummate the Financing contemplated by the Commitment Letter and Definitive Agreements substantially concurrently with the Closing.

(b) In the event that all conditions contained in the Commitment Letter have been satisfied (or upon such funding will be satisfied), Parent shall use reasonable best efforts to cause the Lenders to fund the Financing to the extent required to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and to pay related fees and expenses on the Closing Date. Parent shall comply with its obligations under the Commitment Letter.

(c) Parent shall not, without the prior written consent of the Company (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed):

(i) permit any amendment, replacement, supplement or modification to, or any waiver of any provision or remedy under, the Commitment Letter (or, following entry into the Definitive Agreements related to the Financing, such Definitive Agreements) if such amendment, replacement, supplement, modification or waiver (individually or in the aggregate with any other amendments, modifications or waivers) would reasonably be expected to (v) add any new or additional (or otherwise expand, amend or modify any existing) conditions to the consummation of all or any portion of the Financing, (w) reduce the amount of the Financing below the amount required, together with cash on hand, to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby (including by changing the amount of fees to be paid or original issue discount thereof), (x) make the funding of any portion of the Financing (or satisfaction of any condition to obtaining any portion of the Financing) materially less likely to occur, (y) adversely affects in any material respect the ability of Parent to enforce its rights against other parties to the Commitment Letter or the Definitive Agreements as so amended, replaced, supplemented or otherwise modified, relative to the ability of Parent to enforce its rights against such other parties to the Commitment Letter as in effect on the date hereof or in the Definitive Agreements, or (z) impede or delay in any material respect the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or otherwise make the Financing materially less likely to occur; or

(ii) terminate, rescind or withdraw, or permit the termination, rescission or withdrawal of, any Commitment Letter, unless such Commitment Letter is replaced with a new commitment that, were it structured as an amendment to an existing Commitment Letter, would satisfy the requirements of the foregoing clause (i).

50

For the avoidance of doubt, nothing herein shall prevent Parent from replacing or amending the Commitment Letter in order to add lead arrangers, bookrunners, syndication agents or similar entities which had not executed the Commitment Letter as of the date hereof or as required pursuant to the market flex provisions in the related fee letters. Parent shall promptly deliver to the Company copies of any such amendment, modification, supplement, waiver or replacement.

(d) In the event that any portion of the Financing becomes (or would reasonably be expected to become) unavailable on the terms and conditions set forth in the Commitment Letter, regardless of the reason therefor, Parent will (i) promptly notify the Company of such unavailability and the reason therefor and will use reasonable best efforts, as promptly as reasonably practicable following the occurrence of such event, to obtain alternative debt financing (in an amount sufficient, together with cash on hand, to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and to pay related fees and expenses) from the same or other sources that are on terms that are no less favorable, taken as a whole, to Parent than those set forth in the Commitment Letter or the Definitive Agreements, as applicable (the Alternative Financing), and (ii) obtain one or more new financing commitment letters with respect to such Alternative Financing (the New Commitment Letters), which New Commitment Letters will replace the existing Commitment Letter in whole or in part. Parent shall promptly provide the Company with a copy of any New Commitment Letters (and any redacted fee letter in connection therewith). For the purposes of this Agreement, (x) the term Commitment Letter shall be deemed to include any New Commitment Letter (or similar agreement) with respect to any alternative debt financing arranged in compliance herewith (and any Commitment Letter remaining in effect at the time in question), as well as all amendments, modifications and supplements permitted under this Agreement, (y) the term Financing shall be deemed to include any such alternative debt financing, and (z) the term Lenders shall be deemed to include the financing sources providing any such alternative debt financing. The Parent and Merger Sub shall be subject to the same obligations with respect to such Alternative Financing as are set forth in this Section 5.17 with respect to the Financing.

(e) To the extent requested, Parent shall keep the Company reasonably informed on a reasonably current basis of the status of its efforts to arrange the Financing. Parent shall provide the Company with copies of all executed definitive agreements related to the Financing. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Parent shall provide the Company with prompt notice (and in any event within two (2) Business Days) (i) of any material breach or default by any party to any Commitment Letter or the Definitive Agreements of which Parent becomes aware, (ii) of the receipt of any written notice or other written communication from any Lender with respect to any (1) breach, default, termination or repudiation by any party to the Commitment Letter or the Definitive Agreements of any provision thereof (but excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any ordinary course negotiations with respect to the terms of the Financing or Definitive Agreements) or (2) material dispute or disagreement between or among any parties to the Commitment Letter or any definitive agreements related to the Financing but only to the extent that the Parent believes in good faith that (X) it will not be able to obtain any portion of the Financing as a result of such dispute or disagreement or (Y) the Closing could reasonably be expected to be delayed or prevented as a result of such dispute or disagreement, (iii) if and when Parent becomes aware that any portion of the Financing contemplated by the Commitment Letter may not be available, (iv) if for any reason Parent believes in good faith that it will not be able to obtain any portion of the Financing on the terms, in the manner and from the sources contemplated by the Commitment Letter

51

(including any related flex terms) and (v) of any expiration or termination of the Commitment Letter or other Definitive Agreement; provided that any information disclosed in such notice shall be subject to the confidentiality covenants set forth in Section 5.03. Notwithstanding the foregoing and subject to Section 8.12(b) hereof, compliance by Parent with thisSection 5.17 shall not relieve Parent of its obligation to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement whether or not the Financing is available and Parent acknowledges that this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby are not contingent on Parent’s ability to obtain the financing (or any alternative financing) or any specific term with respect to such financing.

Section 5.18 Financing Cooperation.

52

(iii) reasonably assisting in (x) the preparation and, to the extent the Company or any of its Subsidiaries becomes a borrower or a guarantor under the definitive financing documents on or after the Closing, execution and delivery of one or more credit or other agreements governing the Financing, as well as any security documents, intercreditor documents, certificates or other definitive or ancillary financing documents in connection with the Financing and (y) the facilitation of pledging of collateral and provision of payoff letters and lien releases, it being understood that any documents contemplated by this subsection (iii) will not become effective until the Closing;

provided, however, that nothing herein shall require such cooperation to the extent it would, or would be likely to, (1) interfere unreasonably with the business or operations of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, (2) require the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to take any action that will conflict with or violate the Company’s or any such Subsidiary’s constitutional documents or any applicable Law, (3) require the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to enter into or approve any documentation referred to in paragraph (iii) above that takes effect or is effective prior to the Closing or (4) require the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to bear any out of pocket cost or expense or pay any fee (other than those costs and fees that Parent commits to reimburse) or provide any indemnity, in each case effective prior to the Closing (5) give any indemnities in connection with the Financing that are effective prior to the Closing, (6) provide in connection with the Financing any information the disclosure of which is prohibited or restricted under Law or is legally privileged, (7) require the pre-Closing Board of Directors of the Company and the directors, managers and general partners of the Company’s Subsidiaries to adopt resolutions approving the agreements, documents and instruments pursuant to which the Financing is obtained, (8) require the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to take any corporate actions prior to the Closing to permit the consummation of the Financing, or (9) require the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to provide (A) the preparation of pro forma financial information, including pro forma cost savings, synergies, capitalization or other pro forma adjustments desired to be incorporated into any pro forma financial information, (B) any description of all or any component of the Financing, including any such description to be included in any liquidity or capital resources disclosure or any “description of notes”, (C) projections, risk factors or other forward-looking statements relating to all or any component of the Financing, (D) Subsidiary financial statements or any other information of the type required by Rule 3-09, Rule 3-10 or Rule 3-16 of Regulation S-X, (E) Compensation Disclosure and Analysis required by Item 402(b) of Regulation S-K, or (F) any solvency certificate or similar certification or representation; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company

53

shall be obligated to provide projections (of the type that are customary to be included in private side marketing materials for senior secured indebtedness similar to the Financing) and other customary forward-looking information relating to the Company’s future performance for use in private side marketing materials. Nothing in this Section 5.18 will require (1) any officer or Representative of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to deliver any certificate or opinion or take any other action that could reasonably be expected to result in personal liability to such officer or Representative, or (2) the members of the Company Board as of immediately prior to the Closing to approve any financing or Contracts related thereto.

(b) Parent shall promptly reimburse the Company and its Subsidiaries for all out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable legal fees and expenses) incurred by the Company and/or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with providing the support and cooperation contemplated by this Section 5.18. Parent shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company and each of its Subsidiaries, and each of their respective directors, officers, employees, agents and other representatives, from and against any and all damages, claims, interest, costs or expenses (including reasonable legal fees and expenses), awards, judgments, penalties and amounts paid in settlement suffered or incurred by any of them in connection with the arrangement of the Financing (including any information utilized in connection therewith and any misuse of the logos or marks of the Company or its Subsidiaries in each case prior to the Closing occurring), except to the extent that such losses arise out of or in connection with the willful misconduct or fraud by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

(c) Subject to the Parent’s indemnification obligations under this Section 5.18, Parent shall be entitled to use the Company’s or its Subsidiary’s logos in connection with the Financing; provided that such logos (i) are used solely in a manner that is not intended or likely to harm or disparage the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or the reputation or goodwill of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, and (ii) are used solely in connection with a description of the Company, its business and operations or the Transactions.

Section 8.11 Remedies. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, any and all remedies expressly conferred upon a party to this Agreement will be cumulative with, and not exclusive of, any other remedy contained in this Agreement, at Law, or in equity. The exercise by a party to this Agreement of any one remedy will not preclude the exercise by it of any other remedy; provided however that under no circumstances will a party be permitted or entitled to receive both a grant of specific performance that results in the occurrence of the Closing and monetary damages.

Section 8.12 Specific Performance.

(a) 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 as are required of it hereunder in order to consummate this Agreement) in accordance with its specified terms or otherwise breach such provisions. The Parties acknowledge and agree that (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

75

other equitable relief to prevent breaches (or threatened breaches) of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof; (B) the provisions of Section 7.06 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 transactions contemplated by this Agreement and without that right, the parties would not have entered into this Agreement. The parties hereby agree not to raise any objections to the availability of the equitable remedy of specific performance to prevent or restrain breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement by any party, and to specifically enforce the terms and provisions of this Agreement to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of, or to enforce compliance with, the covenants and obligations of any party under this Agreement. Any party seeking an injunction or injunctions to prevent 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. The parties hereto further agree that (i) by seeking the remedies provided for in this Section 8.12, a party shall not in any respect waive its right to seek any other form of relief that may be available to a party under this Agreement in the event that this Agreement has been terminated or in the event that the remedies provided for in this Section 8.12 are not available or otherwise are not granted, and (ii) nothing set forth in this Section 8.12 shall require any party to institute any proceeding for (or limit any party’s right to institute any proceeding for) specific performance under thisSection 8.12 prior or as a condition to exercising any termination right under Article VII (and pursuing damages after such termination), nor shall the commencement of any legal proceeding pursuant to this Section 8.12 or anything set forth in this Section 8.12 restrict or limit any party’s right to terminate this Agreement in accordance with the terms of Article VII or pursue any other remedies under this Agreement that may be available then or thereafter.

(b) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, including, Section 8.12(a), the parties hereby further acknowledge and agree that the Company shall be entitled to specific performance of Parent’s obligation to cause the Parent and Merger Sub to consummate the Closing in accordance with Section 1.02 and to enforce the terms of this Agreement (including, for the avoidance of doubt, Section 5.17 (Financing)) if (and only if and for so long as) (A) all conditions set forth in Section 6.01 and Section 6.02 (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at or immediately prior to the Closing, but which conditions at such time are capable of being satisfied if the Closing were to occur) have been and continue to be satisfied or (to the extent permitted by applicable Law) waived by Parent at the time when the Closing would be required to occur pursuant to Section 1.02, (B) Parent and Merger Sub fail to consummate the Closing on the date when the Closing should have occurred pursuant to Section 1.02, (C) the proceeds of the Financing has been funded or will be funded in accordance with the terms thereof at the Closing and (D) the Company has not terminated this Agreement in accordance with Article VII and has irrevocably confirmed in a written notice to Parent that all conditions to be satisfied or (to the extent permitted by applicable Law) waived (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at or immediately prior to the Closing, but which conditions at such time are capable of being satisfied if the Closing were to occur), and that if specific performance is granted and Financing is funded, the Company is prepared to consummate the Closing in accordance

76

with the terms of this Agreement, and Parent and Merger Sub fail to complete the Closing within three (3) Business Days after the delivery of the Company’s irrevocable written confirmation. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, under no circumstances shall the Company be entitled to receive both (A) a grant of specific performance of Parent’s obligation to consummate the Closing and (B) the payment of the Reverse Termination Fee and the Fee Enforcement Expenses if any due pursuant to Section 7.06(b) or monetary damages; provided however, that, in the case of the grant of any monetary award by a court of competent jurisdiction in favor of the Company (other than for payment under Section 5.18(b), the Company may enforce such award and accept such monetary payment only if, within two (2) weeks following such grant of monetary award, the Company shall offer and commit to complete the Merger and Parent and Merger Sub have not consummated the Merger by the conclusion of such two (2) weeks; provided further that, the Company shall, and shall cause its Representatives to, dismiss with prejudice any Legal Action still pending at such time as Parent and Merger Sub consummate the Merger.

Section 8.13 Lender Provisions.
