Article I
The Offer

Section 1.1. The Offer.

(a) Provided that this Agreement shall not have been terminated in accordance with Article VIII, upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, as soon as reasonably practicable (but in no event later than ten business days after the initial public announcement of the execution and delivery of this Agreement), Merger Sub shall, and Parent shall cause Merger Sub to, commence (within the meaning of Rule 14d-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) the Offer.

(b) The obligations of Merger Sub to, and of Parent to cause Merger Sub to, accept for payment, irrevocably deposit all requisite funds with the Paying Agent and pay for, all shares of Company Stock validly tendered and not validly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer are subject only to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Exhibit A (the “Offer Conditions”) (without limiting the right of Merger Sub to terminate, extend or modify the Offer in accordance with the terms of this Agreement) and not to any other conditions.

(c) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Offer Documents, the Offer shall remain open until 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on the 20^th business day following the commencement of the Offer (calculated in accordance with Rule 14d-1(g)(3) under the Exchange Act) (the “Initial Expiration Date”) or, if the period of time for which the Offer is open shall have been extended pursuant to, and in accordance with, Section 1.1(d) or as may be required by applicable Law, the time and date to which the Offer has been so extended (the Initial Expiration Date or such later time and date to which the Offer has been extended in accordance with Section 1.1(d), the “Expiration Date”). Merger Sub and Parent expressly reserve the right to waive, in whole or in part, any Offer Condition at any time and from time to time, in their sole and absolute discretion, other than the Minimum Tender Condition, or to modify the terms of the Offer, except that, without the prior written consent of the Company, Merger Sub shall not, and Parent shall not permit Merger Sub to, (i) reduce the number of shares of Company Stock subject to the Offer, (ii) reduce the Common Offer Price, Series A Offer Price, Series B Offer Price or Series C-1 Offer Price, (iii) waive, amend or modify the Minimum Tender Condition, (iv) impose any additions to the Offer Conditions or amend, modify or supplement any of the Offer Conditions in any manner adverse to the holders of Company Stock, (v) except as otherwise provided in this Section 1.1, terminate, extend or otherwise amend or modify the Expiration Date or time of, the Offer, (vi) change the all-cash form of consideration payable in the Offer, or (vii) otherwise amend, modify or supplement any of the terms of the Offer in any manner adverse to the holders of Company Stock.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Merger Sub shall, and Parent shall cause Merger Sub to, (A) extend the Offer for one or more consecutive increments of not more than five business days each (the length of such period to be determined by Parent or Merger Sub in their sole discretion), or for such longer period as the parties may agree, if at the scheduled expiration date of the Offer any of the Offer Conditions shall not have been satisfied or waived, until such time as such conditions shall have been satisfied or waived and (B) extend the Offer for the minimum period required by any rule, regulation or interpretation or position of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) or the staff thereof applicable to the Offer; provided that under no circumstance shall Merger Sub be required to extend the Offer beyond the Outside Date. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer and this Agreement, Merger Sub shall, and Parent shall cause Merger Sub to, accept for payment, irrevocably deposit all requisite funds with the Paying Agent and pay for, all shares of Company Stock validly tendered and not theretofore validly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer, such that Merger Sub becomes irrevocably obligated to purchase pursuant to the Offer all such shares on or as promptly as practicable after the Expiration Date. The time at which Merger Sub first accepts for payment the shares of Company Stock validly tendered and not validly withdrawn in the Offer is hereinafter referred to as the “Acceptance Time.” The Offer may not be terminated prior to its Expiration Date (as such Expiration Date may be extended in accordance with this Section 1.1(d)), unless this Agreement is validly terminated in accordance with Section 8.1. If the Offer is terminated or withdrawn by Merger Sub to the extent permitted by this Agreement, or this Agreement is terminated in accordance with Section 8.1, Merger Sub shall promptly return, and shall cause any depository acting on behalf of Merger Sub to promptly return, all tendered shares of Company Stock to the registered holders thereof. Nothing contained in this Section 1.1 shall affect any termination rights set forth in Section 8.1.

(e) As promptly as practicable on the date of commencement of the Offer, Parent and Merger Sub shall file with the SEC in accordance with Rule 14d-3 under the Exchange Act a Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO with respect to the Offer, which shall contain or, as permitted, incorporate by reference, an offer to purchase and forms of the related letter of transmittal, summary advertisement, notices to brokers, clients and dealers, and all other ancillary Offer documents (such Schedule TO and all such documents included therein or, as permitted, incorporated by reference therein, pursuant to which the Offer will be made, together with all supplements, amendments and exhibits thereto, the “Offer Documents”) and shall disseminate the appropriate Offer Documents to the holders of Company Stock. The Company shall promptly furnish to Parent and Merger Sub all information concerning the Company and the holders of Company Stock required by the Exchange Act to be set forth in the Offer Documents or reasonably requested in connection with any action contemplated by this Section 1.1(e), including communication of the Offer to the record and beneficial holders of Company Stock. Each of Parent, Merger Sub and the Company shall promptly correct any information provided by it for use in the Offer Documents if and to the extent that such information shall have become false or misleading in any material respect, and each of Parent and Merger Sub shall take all steps necessary to amend or supplement the Offer Documents and (i) to cause the Offer Documents, as so amended or supplemented, to be filed with the SEC and disseminated to the holders of Company Stock, in each case as and to the extent required by applicable Federal securities Laws and (ii) to cause the Offer Documents, as amended or supplemented, to comply as to form in all material respects with the requirements of the Exchange Act, the applicable rules and regulations of NASDAQ and all other applicable Laws. Prior to the filing of the Offer Documents (including any amendment or supplement thereto) with the SEC or the dissemination thereof to the holders of Company Stock, Parent and Merger Sub shall provide the Company and its counsel a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such Offer Documents, and Parent and Merger Sub shall give reasonable and good faith consideration to all comments made by the Company or its counsel. Parent and Merger Sub shall promptly provide the Company and its counsel with copies of all written comments, and shall promptly inform the Company and its counsel of all oral comments, that Parent, Merger Sub or their counsel may receive from the SEC or its staff with respect to the Offer Documents, and prior to responding to any comments of the SEC or its staff with respect to the Offer Documents, give reasonable and good faith consideration to all comments made by the Company or its counsel, and to participate in any substantive telephonic communications with the staff of the SEC related thereto.

(f) Parent shall provide or cause to be provided to Merger Sub promptly (and, in any case, on a sufficiently timely basis to enable Merger Sub to comply with the provisions of Section 1.1(d)) all funds necessary to purchase the shares of Company Stock that Merger Sub has accepted for payment and irrevocably becomes obligated to purchase pursuant to the Offer.

(g) Parent and Merger Sub shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration payable to any holder of shares of Company Stock pursuant to the Offer such amounts as Parent or Merger Sub are required to deduct and withhold in respect of such payment under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), or any applicable provision of state, local or foreign Tax Law. Amounts so withheld and paid to the appropriate taxing authority shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement and the Offer as having been paid to the holder of Company Stock in respect of which such deduction or withholding was made.

Section 1.2. Company Actions.

(a) Subject to Sections 5.2 and 8.4, the Company hereby approves of and consents to the Offer, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement (collectively, the “Transactions”).

(b) On the date the Offer Documents are filed with the SEC, the Company shall file with the SEC in a manner that complies with Rule 14d-9 under the Exchange Act a Tender Offer Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9 with respect to the Offer (such Schedule 14D-9, together with all amendments, supplements and exhibits thereto, the “Schedule 14D-9”), including, subject to Section 5.2(e), the Company Board Recommendation, and shall disseminate the Schedule 14D-9 to the holders of Company Stock. The Schedule 14D-9 shall also contain the notice of the approval of the Merger and that appraisal rights are available under Section 262(d)(2) of the DGCL. The Company shall set the record date for the Company’s stockholders entitled to receive such notice of appraisal rights as the same date as the Stockholder List Date and shall disseminate the Schedule 14D-9 including such notice of appraisal rights to the holders of Company Stock to the extent required by Section 262(d)(2) of the DGCL or other applicable Law at the time the Company first files the Schedule 14D-9 with the SEC such that the Schedule 14D-9 shall constitute a valid notice of appraisal rights under Section 262(d)(2) of the DGCL. Parent and Merger Sub shall promptly furnish to the Company all information concerning Parent and Merger Sub required by the Exchange Act to be set forth in the Schedule 14D-9. Each of the Company, Parent and Merger Sub shall promptly correct any information provided by it for use in the Schedule 14D-9 if and to the extent that such information shall have become false or misleading in any material respect, and the Company shall take all steps reasonably necessary to amend or supplement the Schedule 14D-9 and (i) to cause the Schedule 14D-9, as so amended or supplemented, to be filed with the SEC and disseminated to the holders of Company Stock, in each case as and to the extent required by applicable Federal securities Laws, Section 262(d)(2) of the DGCL and/or other applicable Law and (ii) to cause the Schedule 14D-9, as amended or supplemented, to comply as to form in all material respects with the requirements of the Exchange Act, the applicable rules and regulations of NASDAQ and all other applicable Laws. Prior to the filing of the Schedule 14D-9 (including any amendment or supplement thereto) with the SEC or the dissemination thereof to the holders of Company Stock, the Company shall provide Parent and Merger Sub and their counsel a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such Schedule 14D-9, and the Company shall give reasonable and good faith consideration to all comments made by Parent and Merger Sub or their counsel. The Company shall promptly provide Parent and Merger Sub and their counsel with copies of all written comments, and shall promptly inform Parent and Merger Sub and their counsel of all oral comments, that the Company or their counsel may receive from the SEC or its staff with respect to the Schedule 14D-9, and prior to responding to any comments of the SEC or its staff with respect to the Schedule 14D-9, give reasonable and good faith consideration to all comments made by Parent, Merger Sub or their counsel, and to participate in any substantive telephonic communications with the staff of the SEC related thereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the obligations of the Company in this Section 1.2(b) shall not apply from and after any Adverse Recommendation Change or in connection with any disclosures made in compliance with Section 5.2, The Company hereby consents to the inclusion in the Offer Documents of the Company Board Recommendation (except to the extent that the Company Board shall have withdrawn or modified the Company Board Recommendation in accordance with Section 5.2(e)).

(c) In connection with the Offer, the Company shall cause its transfer agent to furnish Merger Sub with mailing labels containing the names and addresses of the record holders of Company Stock as of a recent date and of those Persons becoming record holders subsequent to such date, together with copies of all lists of holders of Company Stock, security position listings, computer files, a non-objecting beneficial owners list and all other information in the Company’s possession or control regarding the beneficial owners of Company Stock, and shall furnish to Merger Sub such information and assistance (including updated lists of holders of Company Stock, security position listings and computer files) as Parent may reasonably request in communicating the Offer to the holders of Company Stock. The date of the list used to determine the Persons to whom the Offer Documents and the Schedule 14D-9 are first disseminated is referred to as the “Stockholder List Date.” Subject to the requirements of applicable Law, and except for such steps as are necessary to disseminate the Offer Documents and any other documents necessary to consummate the Transactions, Parent and Merger Sub shall hold in confidence in accordance with the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement the information contained in any such labels, listings and files, shall use such information only in connection with commencing and consummating the Offer and the Merger and, if this Agreement shall be terminated, shall promptly, upon request, deliver to the Company all copies of such information.

(b) The parties shall take all necessary action to ensure that the officers of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the officers of the Surviving Corporation, until their earlier death, resignation or removal or until their respective successors are duly elected or appointed and qualified, as the case may be, in accordance with the Surviving Charter, the Surviving By-Laws and applicable Law.

Section 2.7. Effect on Capital Stock. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or the holder of any shares of Company Stock or any shares of capital stock of Merger Sub:

(a) Capital Stock of Merger Sub. Each share of capital stock of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and become one fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Surviving Corporation.

(b) Cancellation of Treasury Stock and Parent-Owned Stock; Company Stock Held by Company Subsidiaries. Each share of Company Stock that is owned by the Company, Parent, Merger Sub or any other subsidiary of Parent and issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall no longer be outstanding and shall be canceled and shall cease to exist, and no consideration shall be delivered or deliverable in exchange therefor. Each issued and outstanding share of Company Stock held by any Company Subsidiary immediately prior to the Effective Time, if any, shall be converted into such number of shares of stock of the Surviving Corporation such that each such Company Subsidiary owns the same percentage of the outstanding capital stock of the Surviving Corporation immediately following the Effective Time as such Company Subsidiary owned in the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time.

(i) each share of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into the right to receive the Common Offer Price in cash, without interest thereon (the “Common Merger Consideration”) and as of the Effective Time, all such shares of Company Common Stock shall no longer be outstanding and shall be canceled and shall cease to exist, and each holder of any such shares of Company Common Stock shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the Common Merger Consideration in accordance with Section 2.8, without interest.

(ii) each share of Series A Preferred Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into the right to receive the Series A Offer Price in cash, without interest thereon (the “Series A Merger Consideration”) and as of the Effective Time, all such shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall no longer be outstanding and shall be canceled and shall cease to exist, and each holder of any such shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the Series A Merger Consideration in accordance with Section 2.8, without interest.

(iii) each share of Series B Preferred Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into the right to receive the Series B Offer Price in cash, without interest thereon (the “Series B Merger Consideration”) and as of the Effective Time, all such shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall no longer be outstanding and shall be canceled and shall cease to exist, and each holder of any such shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the Series B Merger Consideration in accordance with Section 2.8, without interest.

(iv) each share of Series C-1 Convertible Preferred Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into the right to receive the Series C-1 Offer Price in cash, without interest thereon (the “Series C-1 Merger Consideration”) and as of the Effective Time, all such shares of Series C-1 Preferred Stock shall no longer be outstanding and shall be canceled and shall cease to exist, and each holder of any such shares of Series C-1 Preferred Stock shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the Series C-1 Merger Consideration in accordance with Section 2.8, without interest.

(d) Appraisal Rights. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, shares of Company Stock that are issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and that are held by any Person who is entitled to demand and properly demands appraisal of such shares of Company Stock (“Appraisal Shares”) pursuant to, and who complies in all respects with, Section 262 of the DGCL (“Section 262”), shall not be converted into the Common Merger Consideration, Series A Merger Consideration, Series B Merger Consideration or Series C-1 Merger Consideration (collectively, or each, as the circumstances require, the “Merger Consideration”) as provided in Section 2.7(c), but instead, shall be canceled and shall represent the right to receive only those rights provided under Section 262; provided, however, that if any such holder shall fail to perfect or otherwise shall waive, withdraw or lose his, her or its right to appraisal under Section 262, then the right of such holder to receive those rights under Section 262 shall cease and such Appraisal Shares shall be deemed to have been converted as of the Effective Time into, and shall represent only the right to receive, the applicable Merger Consideration as provided in Section 2.7(c). At the Effective Time, the Appraisal Shares shall automatically no longer be outstanding and shall be cancelled and shall cease to exist, and each holder of any Appraisal Shares shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive only those rights provided under Section 262. The Company shall serve prompt notice to Parent of any demands received by the Company for appraisal of any shares of Company Stock, and Parent shall have the right to participate in and direct all negotiations and Proceedings with respect to such demands. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall not, without the prior written consent of Parent, make any payment with respect to, or settle or offer to compromise or settle, any such demands, or agree to do any of the foregoing.

Section 2.8. Payment of Merger Consideration.

(a) Paying Agent. Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall select a bank or trust company reasonably acceptable to the Company to act as paying agent (the “Paying Agent”) for the payment of the applicable Merger Consideration to former holders of Company Stock. Parent shall take all steps necessary to enable and shall cause the Surviving Corporation to provide to the Paying Agent, immediately after the Effective Time, all cash funds necessary to fully pay for the shares of Company Stock converted into the right to receive the applicable Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.7(c) (such cash being hereinafter referred to as the “Exchange Fund”).

(b) Exchange Procedure. As soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time (but in no event later than three (3) business days after the Effective Time), the Surviving Corporation or Parent shall cause the Paying Agent to mail to each holder of record of a certificate or certificates that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented issued and outstanding shares of Company Stock (the “Certificates”) which were converted into the right to receive the applicable Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.7 (i) a letter of transmittal (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of the Certificates to the Paying Agent, and shall be in such form and have such other provisions as are customary and reasonably acceptable to the Company and Parent) and (ii) instructions for effecting the surrender of the Certificates in exchange for the applicable Merger Consideration. Upon surrender of a Certificate to the Paying Agent for cancellation, together with such letter of transmittal, duly executed, and such other documents as may reasonably be required by the Paying Agent, the holder of such Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor the amount of applicable Merger Consideration into which the shares of Company Stock theretofore represented by such Certificate shall have been converted pursuant to Section 2.7(e), and the Certificate so surrendered forthwith shall be canceled. In the event of a transfer of ownership of Company Stock that is not registered in the transfer records of the Company, payment may be made to a Person other than the Person in whose name the Certificate so surrendered is registered, if such Certificate shall be properly endorsed or otherwise shall be in proper form for transfer and the Person requesting such payment shall pay all transfer and other Taxes required by reason of the payment to a Person other than the registered holder of such Certificate or establish to the satisfaction of Parent that such Tax has been fully paid or is not applicable. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 2.8, each Certificate shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive upon such surrender the amount of applicable Merger Consideration, without interest, into which the shares of Company Stock theretofore represented by such Certificate have been converted pursuant to Section 2.7(c). No interest shall be paid or accrue on the applicable Merger Consideration payable upon surrender of any Certificate.

(c) Treatment of Book-Entry Shares. As soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time (but in no event later than three (3) business days after the Effective Time), the Surviving Corporation or Parent shall cause the Paying Agent to mail a check, or make a wire transfer, to each holder of record, as of the Effective Time of the Merger, of Book-Entry Shares in an amount of U.S. dollars equal to the aggregate amount of Merger Consideration to which such holder is entitled hereunder.

(d) No Further Ownership Rights in Company Stock. The Merger Consideration paid in accordance with the terms of this Article II as a result of the conversion of shares of Company Stock shall be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such shares of Company Stock. After the Effective Time there shall be no further registration of transfers on the stock transfer books of the Surviving Corporation of shares of Company Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, any Certificates are presented to the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent for any reason, they shall be canceled and exchanged as provided in this Article II.

(e) Termination of Exchange Fund. Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains undistributed as of the 12-month anniversary of the Merger Closing Date shall be delivered to Parent, upon demand, and any former holder of Company Stock entitled to payment of Merger Consideration who has not theretofore complied with this Article II shall thereafter look only to Parent and the Surviving Corporation for payment of its claim for Merger Consideration.

(f) No Liability. None of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company, the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent shall be liable to any Person in respect of any cash from the Exchange Fund delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law. If any Certificate has not been surrendered prior to the date on which the applicable Merger Consideration in respect of such Certificate would otherwise escheat to or become the property of any Governmental Entity, any such Merger Consideration in respect of such Certificate shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, immediately prior to such date become the property of the Surviving Corporation, subject to the claims of any former holder of Company Stock entitled to payment of such Merger Consideration who has not theretofore complied with this Article II.

(g) Investment of Exchange Fund. The Paying Agent shall invest any cash included in the Exchange Fund, as directed by Parent, on a daily basis. Any interest and other income resulting from such investments shall be paid to Parent. In no event, however, shall such investment or any such payment of interest or income delay the receipt by former holders of Company Stock of the applicable Merger Consideration or otherwise impair such holders’ rights hereunder. To the extent that there are any losses with respect to any investments of the Exchange Fund, or the Exchange Fund diminishes for any reason to an aggregate amount that is insufficient to enable the Paying Agent to promptly pay the applicable Merger Consideration in full to all holders of Certificates, Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, promptly replace or restore the cash in the Exchange Fund so as to ensure that the Exchange Fund is at all times maintained at a level sufficient for the Paying Agent to make all such payments in full.

(h) 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 a bond sufficient to indemnity the Surviving Corporation in such reasonable and customary form as Parent may direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, the Paying Agent shall deliver in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate the applicable Merger Consideration, without interest.

(i) Withholding Rights. Each of the Surviving Corporation, Parent and the Paying Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the applicable Merger Consideration otherwise payable to any former holder of Company Stock pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as may be required to be deducted and withheld with respect to the making of such payment under the Code, or under any applicable provision of state, local or foreign Tax Law. Amounts so withheld and paid over to the appropriate taxing authority shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the former holder of Company Stock in respect of which such deduction or withholding was made.

(b) Section 3.19(b) of the Company Disclosure Letter sets forth the names of ten (10) largest suppliers of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries measured by dollar value of goods or services purchased since January 1, 2014 through the date of this Agreement, (each, a "Major Supplier").

Section 3.21. Opinions of Financial Advisors. The Company Board has received the opinion of Oppenheimer & Co.

The action of the Company Board in approving this Agreement and the Transactions is sufficient to render inapplicable to this Agreement and the Transactions the restrictions on “business combinations” (as defined in Section 203 of the DGCL) as set forth in Section 203 of the DGCL. True, complete and correct copies of the resolutions referred to above have been delivered to Parent on or prior to the date hereof.

(a) From the date hereof until the earlier of the Effective Time or the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 8.1, except to the extent expressly provided in Section 5.2(c), the Company shall not and shall not authorize or permit any Company Subsidiary to, and the Company shall cause its Representatives and each Company Subsidiary’s Representatives not to, (i) directly or indirectly solicit, initiate or knowingly facilitate or encourage the submission to the Company of any Company Takeover Proposal or any inquiry relating thereto, (ii) enter into any agreement, contractual arrangement or understanding with respect to any Company Takeover Proposal, (iii) participate in any discussions or negotiations regarding, furnish to any Person any non-public information with respect to or in connection with, or take any other action intended to facilitate or encourage the submission to the Company of any proposal that constitutes, or could reasonably be expected to lead to, any Company Takeover Proposal, (iv) except in connection with a termination of this Agreement by the Company pursuant to Section 8.1(d) in the case of a Superior Company Proposal (provided that the Company has complied with the provisions of Section 5.2(f)), waive the provisions of, opt out of, or take any action to render inapplicable to any Company Takeover Proposal or any Person (other than Parent, Merger Sub or any of their affiliates) the provisions of, any Takeover Law, or (v) fail to enforce, or grant any waiver or release under, any standstill or similar agreement in effect with respect to any capital stock of the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries. Any violation of the restrictions set forth in this Section 5.2 by any Representative of the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries shall be a breach of this Section 5.2 by the Company.

(b) The Company shall, shall cause the Company Subsidiaries, and shall cause its Representatives and its and each Company Subsidiary’s Representatives to, immediately (i) cease all discussions and negotiations regarding any proposal pending on the date of this Agreement that constitutes, or could reasonably be expected to lead to, a Company Takeover Proposal and (ii) terminate access to any physical or electronic data rooms relating to a possible Company Takeover Proposal; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 5.2 shall preclude the Company or its Representatives from contacting any Person solely for the purpose of complying with the provisions of this Section 5.2(b).

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 5.2 or any other provision of this Agreement, at any time prior to the Acceptance Time, (x) the Company may contact the Person making any Company Takeover Proposal that did not result from a breach of this Section 5.2 solely to clarify the terms and conditions thereof and (y) in response to a Company Takeover Proposal that did not result from a breach of this Section 5.2 and that the Company Board determines, in good faith, After Consultation, constitutes or would reasonably be expected to lead to a Superior Company Proposal (a “Qualifying Company Takeover Proposal”), the Company may (A) furnish information with respect to the Company to the Person making such Qualifying Company Takeover Proposal and its Representatives pursuant to an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement so long as the Company also provides Parent, not later than 24 hours after the time such information is first provided or made available to such Person, in accordance with the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement, any non-public information furnished to such other Person which was not previously furnished or made available to Parent, except to the extent providing Parent with such information would violate applicable Law, and (B) participate in discussions or negotiations with such Person and its Representatives regarding such Qualifying Company Takeover Proposal, including soliciting the making of a revised Qualifying Company Takeover Proposal.

(d) The Company shall as promptly as practicable (and in any event within 24 hours after its receipt thereof) notify Parent in writing of any Company Takeover Proposal, which notice shall include the identity of the Person making any such Company Takeover Proposal and the material terms thereof. The Company shall keep Parent reasonably informed of the status of any such Company Takeover Proposal (including promptly informing Parent of any change to the material terms or conditions thereof).

(e) Neither the Company Board (nor any committee thereof) shall (i) (A) withdraw or modify in a manner adverse to Parent or Merger Sub, or propose publicly to withdraw or modify in a manner adverse to Parent or Merger Sub, the Company Board Recommendation, (B) approve or recommend, or propose publicly to approve or recommend, any Company Takeover Proposal or resolve or agree to take any such action or (C) fail to include the Company Board Recommendation in the Schedule 14D-9 or, if any Company Takeover Proposal has been made, fail to reaffirm the Company Board Recommendation upon request of Parent within five (5) business days after Parent requests such reaffirmation (any action described in this clause (i) being referred to herein as an “Adverse Recommendation Change”) or (ii) approve, adopt or recommend, or propose publicly to approve, adopt or recommend, or permit the Company or any Company Subsidiary to enter into any letter of intent, memorandum of understanding, agreement-in-principle, acquisition agreement, merger agreement, business combination agreement, recapitalization agreement, business reorganization agreement or other similar agreement relating to any Company Takeover Proposal (other than an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement entered into under the circumstances set forth in clause (y)(A) of Section 5.2(c)), or resolve, agree or publicly propose to take any such action. Notwithstanding anything to contrary in the foregoing or any other provision of this Agreement, but subject to Section 5.3(f), the Company Board may effect an Adverse Recommendation Change and the Company may terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(f) in accordance with Section 8.4(b) if, and only if, (i) the Company has received a written Company Takeover Proposal that did not result from a breach of this Section 5.2 and the Company Board determines, in good faith, After Consultation, that such Company Takeover Proposal constitutes a Superior Company Proposal or (ii) if the Company Board determines, in good faith, After Consultation, that due to the occurrence of an Intervening Event, the failure to take such action would be reasonably likely to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law.

(f) The Company Board shall not make an Adverse Recommendation Change or terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(f) unless (A) at least three business days prior to any intended meeting of the Company Board at which the Company Board shall consider and determine whether to make such Adverse Recommendation Change or terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(f), the Company provides Parent with written notice of the date and time of such Company Board meeting (which notice shall not constitute an invitation from the Company Board for Parent or Merger Sub or any of their affiliates or Representatives to attend such meeting) and the actions which the Company Board intends to consider and determine at such Company Board meeting, and containing (x) if the action being considered and determined at such Company Board meeting is in respect of a Superior Company Proposal, a copy of the most current version of the proposed agreement providing for such Superior Company Proposal and the identity of the Person(s) making the Superior Company Proposal or (y) if the action being considered at such Company Board meeting is in respect of an Intervening Event, a reasonably detailed description of the facts and circumstances constituting such Intervening Event, and the reasons why an Adverse Recommendation Change or termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(f) is being considered by the Company Board in respect thereof, and (B) Parent does not deliver in writing to the Company, within three business days after its receipt of the aforementioned notice of the Company Board meeting, a binding proposal to amend or modify this Agreement and, as applicable, all other Transaction documents (submitted to the Company in the form of a proposed definitive amendment to or restatement of this Agreement and, as applicable, all other Transaction documents) that (x) in the case of any action being considered in response to a Superior Company Proposal, and giving effect to such amendments and modifications proposed by Parent, enables the Company Board to determine, in good faith, After Consultation, that the Superior Company Proposal no longer constitutes the same (it being hereby understood and agreed that any material amendment to the financial or other material terms of such Superior Company Proposal shall require the Company to deliver to Parent and Merger Sub a new written notice of the type aforementioned and upon receipt thereof Parent and Merger Sub shall have a new two (rather than three) business day period under this Section 5.2(f) to submit to the Company a binding proposal to amend or modify this Agreement), or (y) in the case of any action being considered in respect of an Intervening Event, and giving effect to such amendments and modifications proposed by Parent, enables the Company Board to determine, in good faith, After Consultation, that the failure to effect an Adverse Recommendation Change would not be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law. During any such three or two business day period referred to in the preceding sentence, the Company shall, and shall use its reasonable efforts to cause its Representatives to, negotiate in good faith with Parent with respect to any binding amendments and modifications proposed by Parent to the terms of this Agreement and the Transactions.

(g) Nothing contained in this Section 5.2 or elsewhere in this Agreement shall prohibit the Company from (i) taking and disclosing to the holders of Company Stock a position contemplated by Rule 14d-9, Rule 14e-2(a) or Item 1012 of Regulation M-A under the Exchange Act or (ii) making any disclosure to the holders of Company Stock if the Company Board determines, in good faith, After Consultation, that the failure to make such disclosure would be reasonably likely to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law; provided that any Adverse Recommendation Change shall only be made in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement; provided, however, that (x) any “stop, look and listen” letter or similar communication of the type contemplated by Rule 14d-9(f) under the Exchange Act (or any similar communications to the holders of Company Common Stock, whether or not in the context of a tender offer or exchange offer, that discloses the existence or occurrence of any state of facts, events, conditions or developments but does not include an Adverse Recommendation Change) and (y) any disclosure of information to the holders of Company Common Stock that only describes the Company’s receipt of a Company Takeover Proposal and the operation and applicability of this Agreement with respect thereto but does not include an Adverse Recommendation Change shall, in the case of clause (x) and (y) of this proviso to this Section 5.2(g), not be deemed to constitute an Adverse Recommendation Change for purposes of this Agreement.

Article VI

Parent, Merger Sub and the Company intend, acknowledge and agree that the Merger shall be governed by Section 251(h) of the DGCL and shall be effected by Parent, Merger Sub and the Company as soon as practicable following the consummation (as defined in Section 251(b) of the DGCL) of the Offer without a meeting of the holders of Company Common Stock pursuant to Section 251(h) of the DGCL.

Section 6.2. Access to Information; Confidentiality. Except if prohibited by any applicable Law, the Company shall afford to Parent and to Parent’s Representatives, reasonable access during normal business hours (under the supervision of appropriate personnel and in a manner that does not unreasonably interfere with the normal operation of the business of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries) during the period from and after the date hereof and prior to the Acceptance Time to all of their respective properties, books, records and Contracts and, during such period, the Company shall, and shall cause each Company Subsidiary to, furnish, as promptly as practicable, to Parent all information concerning its business, assets, liabilities and personnel as Parent reasonably may request. Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, neither the Company nor any of the Company Subsidiaries shall be required to afford access or furnish information to Parent or its Representatives to the extent (a) such information is subject to the terms of a confidentiality agreement with a third party, (b) such information constitutes or relates to the minutes of any meetings, deliberations or determinations of the Company Board or any duly constituted committee thereof (including any presentations or other materials prepared by or for the Company Board) where the Company Board reviewed, discussed, considered and resolved to take action(s) in respect of the Offer, the Merger, any of the other Transactions or any similar or alternative transaction(s) between the Company and any other Person (including with respect to any Company Takeover Proposal) or (c) the Company Board determines, in good faith, After Consultation, that affording such access or furnishing such information could jeopardize the attorney-client privilege of the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries, violate applicable Law or result in significant antitrust risk for the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries. All information exchanged pursuant to this Section 6.2 shall be subject to the confidentiality agreement dated June 11, 2015 between the Company and Parent (the “Confidentiality Agreement”) and Parent shall cause its Representatives to comply with their respective obligations thereunder.

Section 6.3. Reasonable Best Efforts; Notification.

(a) Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, each of Parent, Merger Sub and the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to 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 to this Agreement in doing, all things necessary, proper and advisable to consummate and make effective, as promptly as practicable, the Offer, the Merger and the other Transactions, including (i) obtaining all necessary actions or non-actions, waivers and Consents from, making all necessary registrations, declarations and filings with, and taking of all reasonable steps as may be necessary to avoid a Proceeding by, any Governmental Entity with respect to this Agreement and the Transactions; (ii) defending and contesting all Proceedings, whether judicial or administrative, challenging the enforceability of this Agreement or the consummation of any of the Transactions, including seeking to have any stay or temporary restraining order entered by any court or other Governmental Entity vacated or reversed and (iii) executing and delivering all additional instruments necessary to consummate the Transactions and to fully effectuate the intent and purposes of this Agreement. In connection with and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company and the Company Board shall (A) take all action necessary to ensure that no Takeover Law is or becomes applicable to any Transaction or this Agreement and (B) if any Takeover Law becomes applicable to any Transaction or this Agreement, take all action necessary to ensure that the Transactions may be consummated as promptly as practicable upon the terms contemplated by this Agreement and otherwise to minimize the effect of such Takeover Law on the Transactions and this Agreement.

(b) [Reserved].

(c) Without limiting the generality of the parties’ obligations under Section 6.3(a), and in furtherance thereof, Parent and the Company shall, in consultation and cooperation with the other and as promptly as practicable after the date of this Agreement, make all necessary filings and obtain all necessary consents, certifications or waivers with respect to the transfer and continuation of all permits, licenses and other regulatory matters required by state public utility commissions or applicable state Governmental Entities; provided, however, that the failure to make any such filing or obtain any such consent or waiver shall constitute neither a Company Material Adverse Effect nor a Legal Restraint for purposes of this Agreement.

Section 6.4. Equity Awards.

(a) Not later than 10 business days after the date of this Agreement, the Company Board (or, if appropriate, any Board Committee administering the applicable Company Stock Plan) shall adopt such resolutions and take all such other actions as shall be required to ensure the occurrence of the following, which shall occur by virtue of the Merger and without any further action by the Company or on the part of any holder of any applicable award:

(i) immediately prior to the Effective Time, each Company Stock Option, whether vested or unvested, outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall become fully exercisable and may be exercised immediately prior to the Effective Time. To the extent not exercised prior to the Effective Time, then immediately prior to the Effective Time, each Company Stock Option shall be canceled, with the holder of such Company Stock Option becoming entitled to receive an amount in cash equal to the product of (A) the positive excess, if any, of (1) the Common Merger Consideration over (2) the exercise price per share of Company Common Stock then in effect in respect of such Company Stock Option, and (B) the aggregate number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Company Stock Option immediately prior to the Effective Time (the “Option Cancellation Payment”); and

(ii) terminate the Company Stock Plans effective as of the Effective Time.

(b) All Option Cancellation Payments payable pursuant to this Section 6.4 shall be subject to any required withholding of Taxes and shall be paid without interest. Each of the Surviving Corporation, Parent and their respective subsidiaries shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable to any former holder of Company Stock Options pursuant to this Agreement such Option Cancellation Payments as may be required to be deducted and withheld with respect to the making of such payment under the Code, or under any provision of state, local or foreign Tax Law. Amounts so withheld and paid over to the appropriate taxing authority shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the former holder of Company Stock Options in respect of which such deduction or withholding was made.

(c) Subject to Section 6.4(b), promptly following the Effective Time, Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation or one of its subsidiaries to, pay through its payroll system or otherwise all Option Cancellation Payments payable pursuant to Section 6.4(a) to the former holders of Company Stock Options, as applicable; provided, however, that, to the extent any such amounts constitute nonqualified deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code, such amounts shall be paid at the earliest time permitted under the terms of the applicable agreement or Company Stock Plan that will not trigger a tax or penalty under Section 409A of the Code.

Section 6.5. Employee Matters.

(a) The Surviving Corporation shall provide or cause to be provided to each employee of the Company and each Company Subsidiary who continues as an employee of the Surviving Corporation or Parent or any of their respective subsidiaries following the Merger Closing Date (a "Continuing Employee"), for a period extending until the earlier of the termination of such Continuing Employee's employment with such entities or (i) the six month anniversary of the Merger Closing Date, (x) a base wage or salary that is no less than that provided to such Continuing Employee immediately prior to the Effective Time, and (y) bonus opportunity and employee benefits (excluding defined benefit plans and/or equity compensation plans) in the aggregate that are either substantially the same as the Continuing Employee’s incentive compensation and employee benefits immediately prior to the Effective Time or substantially comparable to those provided to similarly situated employees of Parent and its subsidiaries. The provisions of this Section 6.5 shall not be construed or interpreted to restrict in any way the Surviving Corporation's or Parent's ability to amend, modify or terminate any Company Benefit Plan (including to change the entities who administer such Company Benefit Plans, or the manner in which such Company Benefit Plans are administered) or any other plan made available to the Continuing Employees or to terminate any person's employment at any time and for any reason.

(b) [Reserved]

(c) With respect to all plans, including any “employee benefit plan”, as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA, maintained by Parent or any of its subsidiaries (including any vacation, paid time-off and severance plans), for all purposes, including determining eligibility to participate, level of benefits, vesting and benefit accruals (other than the accrual of benefits under a defined benefit pension plan, sabbatical programs and equity compensation plans), each Continuing Employee’s service with the Company or any Company Subsidiaries (as well as service with any predecessor employer of the Company or any such Company Subsidiary, to the extent service with the predecessor employer is recognized by the Company or such Company Subsidiary) shall be treated as service with Parent or any of its subsidiaries; provided, however, that such service need not be recognized to the extent that such recognition would result in any duplication of benefits for the same period of service.

(d) With respect to any welfare plan maintained by Parent or any of its subsidiaries in which any Continuing Employee is eligible to participate after the Effective Time, Parent shall, and shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, (i) waive all limitations as to subject to any limitations provided under applicable Law and/or insurance contract, preexisting conditions and exclusions and waiting periods and actively-at-work requirements with respect to participation and coverage requirements applicable to such employees and their eligible dependents and beneficiaries, to the extent such limitations were waived, satisfied or did not apply to such employees or eligible dependents or beneficiaries under the corresponding welfare Company Benefit Plan in which such employees participated immediately prior to the Effective Time and (ii) provide Continuing Employees and their eligible dependents and beneficiaries with credit for any co-payments and deductibles paid prior to the Effective Time in satisfying any analogous deductible or out-of-pocket maximum requirements to the extent applicable under any such plan.

(e) Without limiting the generality of Section 9.8, the provisions of this Section 6.5 are solely for the benefit of the parties to this Agreement, and no Continuing Employee or any other Person (including any beneficiary or dependent thereof) shall be regarded for any purpose as a third-party beneficiary of this Agreement (except to the extent provided in Section 9.8 with respect to Section 6.6), and no provision of this Section 6.5 shall create such rights in any such Persons in respect of any benefits that may be provided, directly or indirectly, under any Company Benefit Plan or Company Benefit Agreement or any employee program or any plan or arrangement of Parent or any of its subsidiaries. Nothing herein shall be construed as the establishment or modification of or an amendment to any Company Benefit Plan, Company Benefit Agreement or plan, program, policy, agreement, arrangement or understanding of Parent or its affiliates, and nothing herein shall obligate Parent or any of its affiliates to maintain any particular Company Benefit Plan or Company Benefit Agreement.

Section 6.6. Indemnification.

(a) All rights to indemnification and exculpation from liabilities (and all rights to advancement of expenses) for acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Effective Time now existing in favor of any Person who is or prior to the Effective Time becomes, or has been at any time prior to the date of this Agreement, a director, officer, employee or agent (including as a fiduciary with respect to any employee benefit plan) of the Company, any of the Company Subsidiaries or any of their respective predecessors (each, an “Indemnified Party”) as provided in the Company Certificate of Incorporation, the Company By-laws, the organizational documents of any Company Subsidiary or any indemnification agreement between such Indemnified Party and the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries in effect as of the date hereof (i) shall survive the Merger, (ii) shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with their respective terms with respect to any claims against any such Indemnified Party arising out of such acts or omissions and (iii) shall not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified in any manner that would adversely affect any right thereunder of any such Indemnified Party. Parent shall ensure that the Surviving Corporation complies with and honors the foregoing obligations.

(b) Without limiting Section 6.6(a) or any rights of any Indemnified Party pursuant to the Company Certificate of Incorporation, the Company By-Laws, any indemnification agreement, from and after the Effective Time, in the event of any threatened or actual Proceeding, whether civil, criminal or administrative, based in whole or in part on, or arising in whole or in part out of, or pertaining to (i) the fact that the Indemnified Party is or was a director, officer, employee or agent (including as a fiduciary with respect to any employee benefit plan) of the Company, any of the Company Subsidiaries or any of their respective predecessors or (ii) this Agreement or any of the Transactions, whether in any case asserted or arising before or after the Effective Time, Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall indemnify and hold harmless, as and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, each such Indemnified Party against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs, expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses in advance of the final disposition of any Proceeding to each Indemnified Party to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law upon receipt of an undertaking, if any, required by applicable Law), judgments, fines, awards and amounts paid in settlement or compromise of or in connection with any such threatened or actual Proceeding. None of Parent or the Surviving Corporation shall settle, compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any threatened or actual Proceeding for which indemnification could be sought by an Indemnified Party hereunder, unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such Proceeding or such Indemnified Party otherwise consents in writing to such settlement, compromise or consent. Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall cooperate with each Indemnified Party in the defense of any matter for which such Indemnified Party could seek indemnification hereunder, in each case at its own expense; provided that, absent an actual or potential conflict of interest, in which case such Indemnified Party shall control and appoint its own lead counsel at Parent’s or the Surviving Corporation’s expense, as applicable, Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall be entitled to control and appoint lead counsel for such defense. Parent’s and the Surviving Corporation’s obligations under this Section 6.6(b) shall continue in full force and effect for the period beginning immediately following the Effective Time and ending six years from the Effective Time; provided, however, that all rights to indemnification in respect of any Proceeding asserted or made within such period shall continue until the final disposition of such Proceeding.

(c) The Company may obtain, at or prior to the Effective Time, prepaid (or “tail”) directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies in respect of acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Effective Time (including for acts or omissions occurring in connection with the approval of this Agreement and the consummation of the Transactions) for the period beginning immediately following the Effective Time and ending six years from the Effective Time, covering each Indemnified Party and containing terms (including with respect to coverage and amounts) and conditions (including with respect to deductibles and exclusions) that are, individually and in the aggregate, no less favorable to any Indemnified Party than those of the Company’s directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies in effect on the date of this Agreement (the “Existing D&O Policies”); provided, however, that the maximum aggregate annual premium for such “tail” insurance policies for any such year shall not exceed the maximum aggregate annual premium contemplated by the second succeeding sentence. If such “tail” insurance policies have been obtained by the Company, Parent shall cause such “tail” insurance policies to be maintained in full force and effect, for their full term, and cause all obligations thereunder to be honored by the Surviving Corporation. In the event the Company does not obtain such “tail” insurance policies, then, for the period beginning immediately following the Effective Time and ending six years from the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall, and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, maintain in effect the Existing D&O Policies in respect of acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Effective Time (including for acts or omissions occurring in connection with the approval of this Agreement and the consummation of the Transactions); provided, however, that neither Parent nor the Surviving Corporation shall be required to pay an aggregate annual premium for such insurance policies in excess of 250% of the annual premium payable by the Company for coverage for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2015 under the Existing D&O Policies (which amount the Company represents and warrants is set forth in Section 6.6(c) of the Company Disclosure Letter); provided further that if the annual premium of such insurance coverage exceeds such amount, the Surviving Corporation shall, and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, be obligated to obtain the most advantageous policy available for an annual premium equal to such amount; and provided further that the Surviving Corporation may substitute therefor policies of a reputable and financially sound insurance company containing terms (including with respect to coverage and amounts) and conditions (including with respect to deductibles and exclusions) that are, individually and in the aggregate, no less favorable to any Indemnified Party.

(d) In the event that (i) the Surviving Corporation or any of its successors or permitted assigns (A) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and is not the continuing, resulting or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (B) transfers or conveys all or a substantial portion of its properties and other assets to any Person or (ii) Parent or any of its successors or assigns dissolves, liquidates or winds up the Surviving Corporation, then, and in each such case, the Surviving Corporation shall, and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to make, proper provision so that, as a condition precedent to the consummation or effectiveness of any such transaction, the applicable successors and assigns or transferees expressly assume the obligations set forth in this Section 6.6.

(e) The obligations of Parent and the Surviving Corporation under this Section 6.6 shall not be terminated or modified in any manner so as to adversely affect any Indemnified Party to whom this Section 6.6 applies without the prior written consent of such affected Indemnified Party. The provisions of this Section 6.6 are intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each Indemnified Party, his or her heirs and his or her representatives, and are in addition to, and not in substitution for or in lieu of, any other rights to which each Indemnified Party is entitled, whether pursuant to Law, contract or otherwise.

Section 6.7. Fees and Expenses.

(a) Except as set forth in this Section 6.7 and Section 6.9, all fees and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement, the Offer, the Merger and the other Transactions shall be paid by the party incurring such fees or expenses, whether or not the Offer or the Merger is consummated.

(b) In the event that:

(i) the Company terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(f) (Superior Company Proposal);

(ii) Parent terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(d) (Adverse Recommendation Change); or

(iii) (A) a Company Takeover Proposal is publicly proposed or announced or the making or existence of a Company Takeover Proposal otherwise becomes publicly known after the date of this Agreement and such Company Takeover Proposal is not subsequently withdrawn, and thereafter, (B) Parent or the Company terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(b)(i) (Lapse of Outside Date), or Parent terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(c) (Company Breach) and (C) the Company enters into a definitive agreement to consummate, or consummates, the transactions contemplated by a Company Takeover Proposal within 12 months of such termination

then, the Company shall reimburse Parent and Merger Sub for all costs and expenses incurred by Parent and Merger Sub related to the Offer, including costs related to due diligence, preparation and negotiation of this Agreement and costs related to the Offer Documents (the “Expense Reimbursement”); provided, however, that in no event shall the Expense Reimbursement exceed $620,000 in the aggregate.

For purposes of this Section 6.7(b), the term “Company Takeover Proposal” shall have the meaning assigned to such term, except that all references to 35% in the definition thereof shall be deemed to be references to 50.1%.

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

(c) Acceptance by Parent of the Expense Reimbursement in circumstances in which the Expense Reimbursement is payable, shall constitute acceptance by Parent of the validity of any termination of this Agreement. Except in the case of fraud, payment of the Expense Reimbursement described in this Section 6.7 shall constitute the sole and exclusive remedy of Parent and Merger Sub against the Company and the Company Subsidiaries and their respective current, former or future Representatives for any loss or damages suffered as a result of the failure of the Transactions to be consummated, and upon payment of the Expense Reimbursement, none of the Company or the Company Subsidiaries or any of their respective current, former or future Representatives shall have any further liability or obligation relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the Transactions.

(d) The Company, Parent and Merger Sub each acknowledges that the agreements contained in this Section 6.7 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, that, without these agreements, the parties hereto would not have entered into this Agreement, and that the Expense Reimbursement is not a penalty, but instead constitutes liquidated damages in a reasonable amount that will compensate Parent and Merger Sub in the circumstances in which the Expense Reimbursement is payable by or on behalf of the Company for the efforts and resources expended and the opportunities foregone by Parent and Merger Sub while negotiating this Agreement and in reliance on this Agreement and on the expectation of the consummation of the Offer, the Merger and the other Transactions, which amount otherwise would be impossible to quantify or calculate with precision. Accordingly, if the Company fails to promptly pay or cause to be paid all or any portion of the Expense Reimbursement due to Parent pursuant to this Section 6.7, it shall also pay any reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Parent or Merger Sub in connection with any legal action commenced by Parent or Merger Sub to enforce the provisions of this Section 6.7 that results in a judgment against the Company for such amount.

Section 6.8. Public Announcements. The initial press release regarding Offer and the Merger shall be a joint press release in a form as agreed to by the parties.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, and for purposes of clarification, the restrictions set forth in this Section 6.8 shall not apply with respect to any public statement, disclosure, communication to holders of Company Stock or announcement by the Company regarding any Adverse Recommendation Change, Superior Company Proposal, or any public statement, disclosure, communication to holders of Company Stock or announcement otherwise contemplated by Section 5.2(g).

Section 6.9. Transfer Taxes. All stock transfer, real estate transfer, documentary, stamp, recording and other similar Taxes (including interest, penalties and additions to any such Taxes) (“Transfer Taxes”) incurred in connection with the Transactions shall be paid by either Merger Sub or the Surviving Corporation, and the Company shall cooperate with Merger Sub and Parent in preparing, executing and filing any Tax Returns with respect to such Transfer Taxes.

Section 6.10. Transaction-Related Litigation. Prior to any termination of this Agreement in accordance with Article VIII, the Company shall promptly advise Parent of any Proceeding commenced or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened against the Company or its directors or officers relating to any of the Transactions and shall keep Parent promptly and reasonably informed regarding any such Proceeding. The Company shall give Parent a reasonable opportunity to participate in the defense or settlement of any such Proceeding and shall give due consideration to Parent’s views with respect thereto; provided, however, that the Company shall control such defense, and this Section 6.10 shall not give Parent the right to direct such defense; and provided further, that no settlement or compromise of any such Proceeding shall be agreed to without Parent’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.

Section 6.11. Rule 14d-10 Matters. Prior to the scheduled expiration of the Offer, the Company (acting through the Company Board and its Compensation Committee) shall take all such steps as may be required to cause to be exempt pursuant to Rule 14d-10(d) under the Exchange Act any employment compensation, severance or other employee benefit arrangement that has been, or after the date of this Agreement (to the extent permitted by this Agreement) will be, entered into by the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries with current or future directors, officers, employees or other service providers of the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries and to ensure that any such arrangements fall within the non-exclusive safe harbor provisions of Rule 14d-10. Promptly upon Parent or any of its affiliates entering into any such arrangement with any current or future director, officer, employee or other service provider of the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries, Parent will provide to the Company any and all information concerning such arrangements as may be needed by the Company to comply with this Section 6.11.

The Company shall take all reasonable steps as may be required to cause any dispositions of Company equity securities (including derivative securities) in connection with this Agreement by each individual who is a director or officer of the Company subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act to be exempt from Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act pursuant to Rule 16b-3 promulgated thereunder.

Section 6.13. Merger Sub and Surviving Corporation Compliance. Parent shall cause Merger Sub or the Surviving Corporation, as applicable, to comply with all of their respective obligations under this Agreement, and Merger Sub shall not engage in any activities of any nature except as provided in or contemplated by this Agreement.

Section 6.15. FIRPTA Certificate. On the Merger Closing Date, the Company shall provide to Parent an affidavit, dated as of the Merger Closing Date, signed under penalty of perjury, and in form and substance required under the Treasury Regulations issued pursuant to Section 1445(f) and Section 897 of the Code, certifying that the Company Common Stock and other shares of Company capital stock are not “United States real property interests” within the meaning of Section 897 of the Code, together with evidence reasonably satisfactory to Parent that the Company has provided notice to the Internal Revenue Service in accordance with the provisions of Treasury Regulation section 1.897-2(h)(2), so that Parent is exempt from withholding any portion of the aggregate consideration with respect to the Merger.

Section 9.5. Interpretation. The headings contained in this Agreement and in the table of contents to this Agreement are included in this Agreement for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. References to “this Agreement” shall include the Company Disclosure Letter. All Exhibits annexed hereto or referred to herein are an integral part of this Agreement and, as such, are hereby incorporated in and made a part of this Agreement as if set forth in full herein. Any terms used in the Company Disclosure Letter, any Exhibit or any certificate or other document made or delivered pursuant hereto but not otherwise defined therein shall have the meaning as defined in this Agreement. The definitions of terms herein shall apply equally to the singular and plural forms of the terms defined. Whenever the context may require, any pronoun shall include the corresponding masculine, feminine and neuter forms. The word “will” shall be construed to have the same meaning as the word “shall.” The words “include”, “includes” and “including” shall be deemed to be followed by the phrase “without limitation.” The word “extent” in the phrase “to the extent” shall mean the degree to which a subject or other thing extends, and such phrase shall not mean simply “if.” Unless the context otherwise expressly provides, use of the word “or” is intended to be disjunctive and non-exclusive and use of the word “and” is intended to be conjunctive. The phrase “date hereof” or “date of this Agreement” shall be deemed to refer to March 25, 2016. Unless the context requires otherwise (i) any definition of or reference to any Contract, instrument or other document or any Law herein shall be construed as referring to such Contract, instrument or other document or Law as from time to time amended, supplemented or otherwise modified, but only to the extent, in the case of any material amendment, supplement or other modification to any Contract, instrument or other document listed in the Company Disclosure Letter, that such amendment, supplement or other modification is also listed in the appropriate schedule, (ii) any reference herein to any Person shall be construed to include such Person’s successors and permitted assigns, (iii) the words “herein”, “hereof” and “hereunder”, and words of similar import, shall be construed to refer to this Agreement in its entirety and not to any particular provision hereof, (iv) all references herein to Articles, Sections, Clauses and Exhibits shall be construed to refer to Articles, Sections and Clauses of, and Exhibits to, this Agreement and (v) references to a particular statute or regulation include all rules and regulations thereunder and any predecessor or successor statute, rules or regulation, in each case as amended or otherwise modified from time to time. All references herein to “$” are to United States dollars. Any accounting term used in this Agreement shall have, unless otherwise specifically provided herein, the meaning customarily given such term in accordance with GAAP and all financial computations hereunder will be computed, unless otherwise specifically provided herein, in accordance with GAAP consistently applied. This Agreement shall be construed without regard to any presumption or rule requiring construction or interpretation against the party drafting or causing any instrument to be drafted.

Section 9.6. Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule or law, or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner to the end that transactions contemplated hereby are fulfilled to the extent possible.

Section 9.7. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the parties and delivered to the other parties. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic image scan transmission (including by email attachment) shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

Section 9.8. Entire Agreement; Third-Party Beneficiaries; No Other Representations or Warranties.

(a) This Agreement and the Confidentiality Agreement (i) constitute the entire agreement, and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the parties and their affiliates, or any of them, with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement and the Confidentiality Agreement and (ii) except for Section 6.6, are not intended to confer upon any Person other than the parties any rights or remedies. Notwithstanding clause (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence, following the Effective Time the provisions of Article II shall be enforceable by holders of Certificates and holders of Book-Entry Shares to the extent necessary to receive the Merger Consideration to which such holders are entitled thereunder and the provisions of Section 6.4 shall be enforceable by holders of awards under the Company Stock Plans to the extent necessary to receive the amounts to which such holders are entitled thereunder.

(b) Without limiting Parent’s or Merger Sub’s remedies in the case of common law fraud, each of Parent and Merger Sub acknowledges that, except for the representations and warranties expressly contained in Article III, neither the Company nor any Person on behalf of the Company makes any other express or implied representation or warranty with respect to the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries or with respect to any other information made available to Parent or Merger Sub in connection with the Transactions. Except in the case of fraud, neither the Company nor any other Person will have or be subject to any liability or indemnification obligation to Parent, Merger Sub or any other Person resulting from the distribution to Parent or Merger Sub, or Parent’s or Merger Sub’s use of, any such information, including any information, documents, projections, forecasts or other material made available to Parent or Merger Sub in certain “data rooms” or management presentations in connection with or in expectation of the Transactions, unless and then only to the extent that any such information is expressly the subject of a representation or warranty contained in Article III.

(c) Except for the representations and warranties expressly contained in Article IV, the Company acknowledges that none of Parent, Merger Sub or any other Person on behalf of Parent or Merger Sub makes any other express or implied representation or warranty with respect to Parent or Merger Sub or with respect to any other information made available to the Company in connection with the Transactions.

Section 9.9. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the internal substantive and procedural laws of the State of Delaware, regardless of the laws that might otherwise govern under applicable principles of conflict of laws thereof.

Section 9.10. Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations under this Agreement shall be assigned, in whole or in part, by operation of law or otherwise by any of the parties without the prior written consent of the other parties, except that Merger Sub may assign, in its sole discretion, any of or all its rights, interests and obligations under this Agreement to Parent or to any direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Parent, but no such assignment shall relieve Merger Sub of any of its obligations under this Agreement. Any purported assignment without such consent shall be void. Subject to the preceding sentences, this Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the parties and their respective successors and assigns.

Section 9.11. Specific Enforcement; Jurisdiction.

(a) The parties acknowledge and agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached, and that monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy therefor. It is accordingly agreed that the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions, or any other appropriate form of equitable relief, to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the performance of the terms and provisions of this Agreement in any court referred to in Section 9.11(b), without the necessity of proving the inadequacy or unavailability of money damages as a remedy (and each party hereby waives any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond or surety in connection with such remedy), this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. The right to specific enforcement shall include the right of the Company to cause Parent and Merger Sub to cause the Offer, the Merger and the other Transactions to be consummated upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement. The parties further agree not to assert that a remedy of specific enforcement is unenforceable, invalid, contrary to Law or inequitable for any reason, and further agree not to assert that a remedy of monetary damages would provide an adequate, available or exclusive remedy. Each of the parties acknowledges and agrees that the right of specific enforcement is an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and without such right, none of the parties would have entered into this Agreement. If, prior to the Outside Date, any party brings any Proceeding in accordance with Section 9.11(b) to enforce specifically the performance of the terms and provisions of this Agreement by any other party, the Outside Date automatically shall be extended by (i) the amount of time during which such Proceeding is pending, plus 30 days or (ii) such other time period established by the court having jurisdiction and presiding over such Proceeding, as the case may be.

(b) Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (or, if such court shall be unavailable, any state or Federal court sitting in the State of Delaware) for the purpose of any Proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the Offer, the Merger or any of the other Transactions, and each of the parties hereby irrevocably agrees that all claims with respect to such Proceeding may be heard and determined exclusively in such court. Each of the parties hereto (i) consents to submit itself to the personal jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (or, if such court shall be unavailable, any state or Federal court sitting in the State of Delaware) in the event any Proceeding arises out of this Agreement, the Offer, the Merger or any of the other Transactions, (ii) agrees that it will not attempt to deny or defeat such personal jurisdiction by motion or other request for leave from any such court, (iii) irrevocably consents to the service of process in any Proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the Offer, the Merger or any of the other Transactions, on behalf of itself or its property, by U.S. registered mail to such party’s respective address set forth in Section 9.2 (provided that nothing in this Section 9.11(b) shall affect the right of any party to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by Law or shall limit the notice obligations under Section 9.2) and (iv) agrees that it will not bring any Proceeding relating to this Agreement, the Offer, the Merger or any of the other Transactions in any court other than the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (or, if such court shall be unavailable, any state or Federal court sitting in the State of Delaware). The parties hereto agree that a final trial court judgment in any such Proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Law; provided, however, that nothing herein shall restrict any party’s rights to seek any post-judgment relief regarding, or any appeal from, such final trial court judgment.

Section 9.12. Waiver of Jury Trial. Each party hereto hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, any right it may have to a trial by jury in respect of any Proceeding arising out of this Agreement, the Offer, the Merger or any other Transaction. Each party hereto (a) certifies that no representative, agent or attorney of any other party has represented, expressly or otherwise, that such party would not, in the event of any Proceeding, seek to enforce the foregoing waiver and (b) acknowledges that it and the other parties hereto have been induced to enter into this Agreement by, among other things, the mutual waiver and certifications in this Section 9.12.

Agreement and Plan of Merger

Offer Conditions

Notwithstanding any other term of the Offer or of the Agreement to which this Exhibit A is an integral part, Merger Sub shall not be required to, and Parent shall not be required to cause Merger Sub to, accept for payment or, subject to any applicable rules and regulations of the SEC, including Rule 14e-1(c) under the Exchange Act (relating to Merger Sub’s obligation to pay for or return tendered shares of Company Stock promptly after the termination or withdrawal of the Offer), to pay for any shares of Company Stock tendered pursuant to the Offer if (a) there shall not have been validly tendered and not validly withdrawn prior to the then scheduled expiration of the Offer (x) that number of shares of Company Stock (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, all shares of Company Stock delivered pursuant to guaranteed delivery instructions for which such shares have not theretofore been delivered) which would, together with all shares of Company Stock owned by Merger Sub, represent at least a majority of the voting power of the Company Common Stock and the Company Preferred Stock (voting on an as converted to Company Common Stock basis), as if voting together as a single class, and (y) that number of shares of Series C-1 Preferred Stock(excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, all shares of Series C-1 Preferred Stock delivered pursuant to guaranteed delivery instructions for which such shares have not theretofore been delivered) which would, together with all shares of Company Series C-1 Preferred Stock owned by Merger Sub, represent at least a majority of the outstanding shares of Series C-1 Preferred Stock(the “Minimum Tender Condition”). Furthermore, notwithstanding any other term of the Offer or the Agreement, Merger Sub shall not be required to, and Parent shall not be required to cause Merger Sub to, accept for payment or, subject as aforesaid, to pay for any shares of Company Stock not theretofore accepted for payment or paid for if, at the expiration of the Offer, any of the following conditions exists:

(i) there shall be any Legal Restraint in effect preventing or prohibiting the consummation of the Offer or the Merger;

(ii) any representation and warranty of the Company set forth in Article III of the Agreement shall not be true and correct, except to the extent such representation and warranty expressly relates to a specific date (in which case such representation and warranty need only be true and correct on and as of such specific date), other than for such failures to be true and correct that, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect; provided that for purposes of determining the satisfaction of this condition, such true and correct determination shall be made without regard to any qualifications or exceptions contained therein as to “materiality” or “Company Material Adverse Effect”;

(iii) the Company shall have failed to perform in all material respects all obligations to be performed by it as of such time under the Agreement;

(iv) the Agreement shall have been terminated in accordance with Article VIII thereof (the “Termination Condition”); or

(v) since the date of this Agreement, there has occurred any change, event, effect or occurrence that has had or would be reasonably likely to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Company Material Adverse Effect.

The foregoing conditions shall be in addition to, and not a limitation of, the rights of Parent and Merger Sub to extend, terminate or modify the Offer to the extent expressly permitted the terms of the Agreement. At the request of Parent, the Company shall deliver to Parent a certificate signed by the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the Company, dated as the date of the scheduled expiration date of the Offer, to the effect that none of the conditions set forth in clauses (ii) and (iii) above shall have occurred and be continuing as of the expiration of the Offer.

The foregoing conditions are for the sole benefit of Parent and Merger Sub and, subject to the terms and conditions of the Agreement and applicable Law (including applicable rules and regulations of the SEC), may be waived by Parent and Merger Sub in whole or in part at any time and from time to time in their sole discretion (other than the Minimum Tender Condition and the Termination Condition). The failure by Parent, Merger Sub or any other affiliate of Parent at any time to exercise any of the foregoing rights shall not be deemed a waiver of any such right, the waiver of any such right with respect to particular facts and circumstances shall not be deemed a waiver with respect to any other facts and circumstances, and each such right shall be deemed an ongoing right that may be asserted at any time and from time to time.

If the Offer is terminated, all tendered shares of Company Stock not theretofore accepted for payment shall forthwith be returned to the tendering stockholders.
