EXCHANGE

3.1 Effect on Capital Stock.

(a) At the Effective Time, as a result of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder of any securities of the Company, Parent or Merger Sub:

(i) Merger Consideration. Each share of common stock, par value $0.001, of the Company (the “Shares” and each a “Share”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than (x) Shares owned by Parent or Merger Sub or any of their respective Subsidiaries, (y) Shares owned by the Company as treasury stock (each such Share referred to in the foregoing clauses (x) and (y), an “Excluded Share” and, collectively, the

3

“Excluded Shares”), and (z) Shares held by stockholders who shall not have voted in favor of the adoption of this Agreement (as may be amended) and who shall have properly exercised appraisal rights in respect of such Shares in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL (each a “Dissenting Share” and, collectively, the “Dissenting Shares”) shall be converted into the right to receive $21.00 per Share in cash, without interest thereon (the “Merger Consideration”). At the Effective Time, all of the Shares (other than Excluded Shares and Dissenting Shares) shall cease to be outstanding, shall be cancelled and shall cease to exist, and (A) each certificate (a “Certificate”) formerly representing any of the Shares (other than the Excluded Shares and Dissenting Shares) and (B) each book-entry account formerly representing any uncertificated Shares (“Uncertificated Shares”) (other than Excluded Shares and Dissenting Shares) shall thereafter represent only the right to receive the Merger Consideration, and the holders thereof shall cease to have any rights with respect to such Shares other than the right to receive the Merger Consideration upon surrender thereof in accordance with Section 3.2, and each Certificate and Uncertificated Share formerly representing Dissenting Shares shall thereafter represent only the right to receive the payment of which reference is made in Section 3.3.

(ii) Cancellation of Excluded Shares. Subject to Section 3.3, each Excluded Share outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the Company, Parent, Merger Sub or the holder thereof, cease to be outstanding, shall be cancelled without payment of any consideration therefor and shall cease to exist.

(iii) Expiration of Company Rights. All Company Rights, together with the associated Series A Participating Preferred Shares, outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall expire in their entirety without any payment being made in respect thereof in accordance with the Preservation Plan Amendment.

(b) Merger Sub. Each share of common stock, par value $0.001, of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into one share of common stock, par value $0.001, of the Surviving Corporation.

3.2 Exchange of Certificates.

(a) Paying Agent. At or immediately prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall deposit, or cause to be deposited, on behalf of Merger Sub Parent, with a paying agent selected by Parent and reasonably acceptable to the Company (the “Paying Agent”), for payment to the holders of Shares, an aggregate amount of cash comprising approximately the amounts required to be delivered pursuant to Section 3.1(a) in respect of Shares (such aggregate amount of cash being hereinafter referred to as the “Exchange Fund”). The Paying Agent shall invest the Exchange Fund as directed by Parent; provided that (i) such investments shall be an obligation of, or guaranteed by, the United States of America, in commercial paper obligations rated A-1 or P-1 or better by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. or Standard & Poor’s Corporation, respectively, or in certificates of deposit, bank repurchase agreements or bankers’ acceptances of commercial banks and (ii) no such investment (or losses thereon) shall affect the amount of Merger Consideration payable to the holders of Shares pursuant to Section 3.1(a). To the extent that there are losses with respect to such investments, or the Exchange Fund diminishes for any other reason below the level required to make prompt cash payment of the Merger Consideration as contemplated hereby,

4

Parent shall promptly replace or restore the cash in the Exchange Fund lost through such investments or other events so as to ensure that the Exchange Fund is at all times maintained at a level sufficient to make all cash payments required pursuant to Section 3.1(a)(i). Prior to the Closing Date, Parent shall enter into an agreement with the Paying Agent, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to effect the applicable terms of this Agreement.

(b) Exchange Procedures. Promptly after the Effective Time (and in any event within three (3) Business Days thereafter), Parent shall cause the Paying Agent to mail to each holder of record of a Certificate representing Shares outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than Excluded Shares and Dissenting Shares): (i) a letter of transmittal in customary form advising such holder of the effectiveness of the Merger and the conversion of its Shares into the right to receive the Merger Consideration, and specifying that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of the Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu of the Certificates as provided in Section 3.2(e)) and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of such Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu of such Certificates as provided in Section 3.2(e)). Upon the surrender of a Certificate (or affidavit of loss in lieu thereof as provided in Section 3.2(e)) to the Paying Agent in accordance with the terms of such transmittal materials, the holder of such Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor an amount in immediately available funds (or, if no wire transfer instructions are provided, a check, and in each case, after giving effect to any required Tax withholding provided in Section 3.2(f)) equal to the cash amount that such holder is entitled to receive pursuant to Section 3.1(a), and the Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled. No interest will be paid or accrued on any amount payable to holders of Certificates. In the event of a transfer of ownership of Shares represented by a Certificate that is not registered in the transfer records of the Company, a check for any cash to be paid upon due surrender of the Certificate may be issued and/or paid to such a transferee if the Certificate formerly representing such Shares is presented to the Paying Agent, accompanied by all documents required to evidence and effect such transfer and to evidence that any applicable stock transfer Taxes have been paid or are not applicable, in each case, reasonably acceptable to the Paying Agent.

(c) Transfers; No Further Ownership Rights. From and after the Effective Time, there shall be no transfers on the stock transfer books of the Company or the Surviving Corporation of the Shares that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates or Uncertificated Shares are presented to the Surviving Corporation for any reason, they will (subject to compliance with the exchange procedures of Section 3.2(b)) be cancelled and exchanged as provided in this Article III. From and after the Effective Time, (a) all Shares will no longer be outstanding and will automatically be cancelled, retired and cease to exist; and (b) each holder of a Certificate or Uncertificated Shares theretofore representing any Shares will cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the Merger Consideration payable therefor in accordance with Section 3.1, or in the case of Dissenting Shares, the rights pursuant to Section 3.3. The Merger Consideration paid in accordance with the terms of this Article III will be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such Shares.

5

(d) Termination of Exchange Fund. Any portion of the Exchange Fund (including the proceeds of any investments of the Exchange Fund) that remains unclaimed by the stockholders of the Company for twelve (12) months after the Effective Time shall be delivered, at Parent’s option, to Parent. Any holder of Shares (other than Excluded Shares) who has not theretofore complied with this ARTICLE III shall thereafter look only to the Surviving Corporation for delivery of any payment of cash (after giving effect to any required Tax withholdings as provided in Section 3.2(f)) upon due surrender of its Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu of the Certificates as provided in Section 3.2(e)), without any interest thereon. Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the Surviving Corporation, Parent, the Paying Agent or any other Person shall be liable to any former holder of Shares for any amount properly delivered to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Laws. To the fullest extent permitted by Law, immediately prior to the date any Merger Consideration would otherwise escheat to or become the property of any Governmental Entity, such Merger Consideration shall become the property of the Surviving Corporation, free and clear of all claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.

(e) Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. In the event 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 to the Paying Agent or the Surviving Corporation, the Paying Agent will issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate the cash that would have been issuable or payable pursuant to the provisions of this Article III (after giving effect to any Tax withholdings as provided in Section 3.2(f)) had such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate been surrendered. Parent or the Paying Agent, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the payment of the Merger Consideration, may require the owners of such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificates to deliver a bond in such amount as it may direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against Parent, the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent with respect to the Certificates alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.

(f) Withholding Rights. Each of Parent, Merger Sub, the Surviving Corporation and the Paying Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as it reasonably determines are required to be deducted and withheld with respect to the making of such payment under the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), or any other applicable state, local or foreign Tax Law. To the extent that amounts are so deducted or withheld by Parent, Merger Sub, the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, such withheld amounts (i) shall be timely remitted by Parent, Merger Sub, the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent, as applicable, to the applicable Governmental Entity and (ii) shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made by Parent, Merger Sub, the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent, as the case may be. At least fifteen (15) days prior to making any deduction or withholding pursuant to this Section 3.2(f) (other than any withholding in respect of Option Payments, RSU Payments, PRSU Payments, Parent RSU Cash Awards, Parent PRSU Cash Awards or any other compensatory amounts payable hereunder, including U.S. federal, state and local employment, wage or payroll tax withholding), Parent, Merger Sub, the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, shall provide written notice to the Company of any anticipated deduction or withholding (together with the legal basis thereof) and shall fully cooperate in good faith to reduce or eliminate any amounts that would otherwise be deducted or withheld.

6

(g) Uncertificated Shares. Promptly after the Effective Time (and in any event within three (3) Business Days thereafter), Parent shall cause the Paying Agent to (i) mail to each registered holder of Uncertificated Shares (other than in respect of Excluded Shares and Dissenting Shares) materials advising such holder of the effectiveness of the Merger and the conversion of its Shares into the right to receive the Merger Consideration and (ii) deliver the cash that such holder is entitled to receive in respect of its Shares pursuant to Section 3.1(a) (after giving effect to any Tax withholdings as provided in Section 3.2(f)), without interest thereon.

3.3 Dissenters’ Rights. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Dissenting Shares shall be converted into the right to receive payment of the Merger Consideration pursuant to the provisions of this Article III unless and until the holder thereof shall have failed to perfect or shall have effectively withdrawn or lost such holder’s right to appraisal under the DGCL, and any holder of Dissenting Shares shall be entitled to receive only the payment provided by Section 262 of the DGCL with respect to such Dissenting Shares. If, after the Effective Time, any Person who otherwise would be deemed to hold Dissenting Shares shall have failed to properly perfect or shall have effectively withdrawn or lost the right to appraisal under Section 262 of the DGCL or if a court of competent jurisdiction shall finally determine that such Person is not entitled to relief provided by Section 262 of the DGCL with respect to any Shares, such Shares shall thereupon be treated as though such Shares had been converted, as of the Effective Time, into the right to receive the Merger Consideration without interest and less any required Tax withholding upon surrender of the Certificates or Uncertificated Shares that formerly evidenced such Shares in the manner provided in Section 3.2. The Company shall give Parent (i) written notice as promptly as practicable of any written demands for appraisal, attempted withdrawals of such demands, and any other instruments served pursuant to applicable Law received by the Company relating to stockholders’ rights of appraisal and (ii) the opportunity to participate in any proposed strategy, decision, negotiation and proceeding with respect to demands for appraisal. Parent shall have the right to direct and control all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demands or attempted withdrawals of such demands and any other actions with respect to stockholders’ rights for appraisal. The Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of Parent, voluntarily make any payment with respect to any demands for appraisal, offer to settle or settle any such demands, approve any withdrawal of any such demands or waive any failure to timely deliver a written demand for appraisal the provisions under Section 262 of the DGCL. Any amounts required to be paid to a holder in respect of any Dissenting Shares shall be paid by the Surviving Corporation.

3.4 Adjustments to Prevent Dilution. Without limiting the Company’s obligations under Section 6.1, in the event that the Company changes the number of Shares or securities convertible or exchangeable into or exercisable for any such Shares, in each case issued and outstanding prior to the Effective Time as a result of a distribution, reclassification, stock split (including a reverse stock split), stock dividend or distribution, recapitalization, subdivision, or other similar transaction (including the issuance of Shares pursuant to the terms of the Preservation Plan), the Merger Consideration shall be equitably adjusted to eliminate the effects of such event on the Merger Consideration.

7

3.5 Treatment of Equity Awards. Unless otherwise mutually agreed by the parties, or by Parent and the applicable holder, after consultation with the Company, at the Effective Time each Company Equity Award shall be treated as follows:

(a) Treatment of Stock Options. Each option to purchase Shares (a “Company Option”) that was granted under the Company’s 2006 Stock Incentive Plan, the Company’s Amended and Restated 2015 Equity Incentive Plan and the Nexmo Inc. 2011 Stock Plan (collectively, the “Company Stock Plans”) and is outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether vested or unvested, (i) if the per Share exercise price of such Company Option is equal to or greater than the Merger Consideration, such Company Option shall terminate and be cancelled, without any consideration being payable in respect thereof, and have no further force or effect and (ii) if the per Share exercise price of such Company Option is less than the Merger Consideration, such Company Option shall terminate and be cancelled in exchange for the right to receive, in accordance with this Section 3.5(a), a lump sum cash payment in the amount equal to (A) the number of Shares underlying the Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time, multiplied by (B) an amount equal to the Merger Consideration minus the applicable exercise price (the product of (A) and (B), the “Option Payment”). The Option Payment (if any) payable under this Section 3.5(a) to each former holder of a Company Option that was outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be paid through the Surviving Corporation’s payroll to such former holder without interest and net of any Taxes withheld pursuant to Section 3.2(f), as soon as practicable following the Effective Date, but in any event not later than the first (1^st) regular payroll date of the Surviving Corporation following the Effective Time; provided that if such first (1^st) payroll date occurs fewer than five (5) Business Days following the Effective Time, the Option Payment shall be paid no later than the second (2^nd) regular payroll date of the Surviving Corporation following the Effective Time.

(b) Treatment of Restricted Stock Units. Each restricted stock unit that is or was subject to only timed-based vesting conditions (a “Restricted Stock Unit”) that was granted under the Company Stock Plans and is outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether vested or unvested, shall terminate and be cancelled in exchange for:

(i) with respect to Restricted Stock Units that become vested in accordance with their terms on or prior to the Effective Time but have not yet been paid, the right to receive a lump sum cash payment in the amount equal to (A) the number of Shares underlying such Restricted Stock Unit, multiplied by (B) the Merger Consideration (each such payment, a “RSU Payment”); and

(ii) with respect to all other Restricted Stock Units, a new cash-based award representing the right to receive an unvested amount in cash equal to (A) the number of Shares underlying such Restricted Stock Unit, multiplied by (B) the Merger Consideration, vesting, subject to the continued employment of the former holder of such Restricted Stock Unit with Parent and its Affiliates (including the Surviving Corporation), on the same vesting schedule (including with respect to any terms providing for acceleration of vesting) and otherwise on substantially the same terms as the corresponding Restricted Stock Unit, except as otherwise provided for in this Section 3.5(b) (each such award, a “Parent RSU Cash Award”).

Following the Effective Time, no Restricted Stock Unit that was outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall remain outstanding and each former holder of any such Restricted Stock Unit shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive a RSU Payment or a Parent RSU Cash Award as set forth in this Section 3.5(b) in exchange for such Restricted Stock Unit in accordance with this Section 3.5(b). The vested cash amounts payable with respect

8

to each portion of any RSU Payment or Parent RSU Cash Award shall be paid through the Surviving Corporation’s payroll to the former holder of the corresponding Restricted Stock Unit without interest and net of any Taxes withheld pursuant to Section 3.2(f), as soon as practicable following the applicable vesting date, but in any event not later than the first (1^st) regular payroll date of the Surviving Corporation following the applicable vesting date; provided that if such first (1^st) payroll date occurs fewer than five (5) Business Days following the applicable vesting date for any portion of a RSU Payment or Parent RSU Cash Award, the vested cash amounts with respect to such portion shall be paid no later than the second (2^nd) regular payroll date of the Surviving Corporation following the applicable vesting date. For purposes of the immediately preceding sentence, with respect to any RSU Payments, the Closing Date shall be treated as the vesting date.

(c) Treatment of Performance Restricted Stock Units. Each performance restricted stock unit that is or was subject to performance-based vesting conditions (each, a “Performance Restricted Stock Unit”) that was granted under the Company Stock Plans and is outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether vested or unvested, shall terminate and be cancelled in exchange for:

(i) with respect to Performance Restricted Stock Units with a performance period that ends on or prior to the Effective Time, the right to receive a lump sum cash payment in the amount equal to (A) the number of Shares subject to such Performance Restricted Stock Unit that vested based on the actual level of achievement under the awards, multiplied by (B) the Merger Consideration (a “PRSU Payment”); and

(ii) with respect to all other Performance Restricted Stock Units, a new cash-based award representing the right to receive an unvested amount in cash equal to (A) the number of Shares subject to such Performance Restricted Stock Unit that would vest based on the actual level of achievement as of the Effective Time compared against pro-rated performance measures as of the Effective Time, multiplied by (B) the Merger Consideration, vesting, subject to the continued employment of the former holder of such Performance Restricted Stock Unit with Parent and its Affiliates (including the Surviving Corporation), on the same time-based vesting schedule (including with respect to any terms providing for acceleration of vesting) and otherwise on substantially the same terms as the corresponding Performance Restricted Stock Unit, except as otherwise provided for in this Section 3.5(c) (each such award, a “Parent PRSU Cash Award”).

Following the Effective Time, no such Performance Restricted Stock Unit that was outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall remain outstanding and each former holder of any such Performance Restricted Stock Unit shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive a PRSU Payment or Parent PRSU Cash Award as set forth in this Section 3.5(c) in exchange for such Performance Restricted Stock Unit in accordance with this Section 3.5(c). The vested cash amounts payable with respect to each portion of any PRSU Payment or Parent PRSU Cash Award shall be paid through the Surviving Corporation’s payroll to the former holder of the corresponding Performance Restricted Stock Unit without interest and net of any Taxes withheld pursuant to Section 3.2(f), as soon as practicable following the applicable vesting date, but in any event not later than the first (1^st) regular payroll date of the Surviving Corporation following the applicable vesting date; provided that if such first (1^st) payroll date occurs fewer than five (5) Business Days following the applicable vesting date for any portion of a PRSU Payment

9

or Parent PRSU Cash Award, the vested cash amounts with respect to such portion shall be paid no later than the second (2^nd) regular payroll date of the Surviving Corporation following the applicable vesting date. For purposes of the immediately preceding sentence, with respect to any PRSU Payment, the Closing Date shall be treated as the vesting date.

(d) Further Action. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall adopt any resolutions and take any actions which are reasonably necessary to effectuate the provisions of this Section 3.5.

3.6 Treatment of Convertible Notes.

(a) Subject to Sections 6.17(a) and 6.17(b), in accordance with the terms of the Company’s Indenture (the “Convertible Notes Indenture”), dated as of June 14, 2019, between the Company and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee (“Trustee”), relating to the Company’s 1.75% Convertible Senior Notes Due 2024 (the “Convertible Notes”), at or after the Effective Time, each holder of Convertible Notes will be entitled, subject to the terms and conditions of the Convertible Notes Indenture (as may be amended, supplemented or modified from time to time), to:

(i) convert such holder’s Convertible Notes only into a right to receive from the Surviving Corporation an amount in cash for each $1,000 principal amount of such Convertible Notes held by such holder equal to the Merger Consideration multiplied by the Conversion Rate (as defined in the Convertible Notes Indenture and as may be adjusted for any Additional Shares (as defined in the Convertible Notes Indenture)) in effect on the applicable Conversion Date (as defined in the Convertible Notes Indenture), pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Convertible Notes Indenture);

(ii) require the Surviving Corporation to repurchase such holder’s Convertible Notes (or any portion of principal amount thereof that is equal to $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof), for cash on a date specified by the Company in accordance with the Convertible Notes Indenture at the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price (as defined in the Convertible Notes Indenture); or

(iii) continue to hold such holder’s Convertible Notes, which, for the avoidance of doubt, following the Effective Time shall only be convertible or exchangeable into cash as set forth in Section 3.6(a)(i) above.

(b) The Surviving Corporation shall satisfy and fulfill the relevant payment obligations to each holder of Convertible Notes described in Section 3.6(a) above as and when required by the terms of this Agreement and the Convertible Notes Indenture (as such Convertible Notes Indenture may be supplemented in accordance with its terms and subject to Section 6.17(a) and 6.17(b)).

3.8 Necessary Further Actions. If, at any time after the Effective Time, any further action is reasonably necessary or advisable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement and to vest the Surviving Corporation with full right, title and possession to all assets, property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of the Company and Merger Sub, then the directors and officers of the Company and Merger Sub as of immediately prior to the Effective Time will take all such lawful and necessary action.

This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by Parent and Merger Sub and, assuming due execution and delivery by the Company, constitutes a valid and binding agreement of Parent and Merger Sub, enforceable against each of Parent and Merger Sub in accordance with its terms, subject to the Bankruptcy and Equity Exception.

The Company shall not (i) except as provided in Section 4.13(b) or Section 6.21, terminate (or permit the termination of), waive or amend, or grant any exemptions under, the Preservation Plan, (ii) redeem any Company Rights under the Preservation Plan or (iii) take any action with respect to, or make any determination under, the Preservation Plan that would interfere with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, in each case of clauses (i) – (iii), without the prior written consent of Parent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

38

hours) following the time such information is made available to such Person and that, prior to furnishing any such non-public information, the Company receives from the Person making such Acquisition Proposal an executed confidentiality agreement with terms at least as restrictive in all material respects on such Person (including its Affiliates and Representatives) as the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement are on Parent (it being understood that such confidentiality agreement need not prohibit the making or amending of an Acquisition Proposal confidentially made to the Company’s board of directors) (an “Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement”) provided further, that competitively sensitive information provided to any such Person who is a competitor of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries will only be provided in a separate “clean data room” and subject to customary “clean team” arrangements regarding access to such information, and (ii) engage or participate in any discussions or negotiations with any such Person regarding such Acquisition Proposal, if, and only if, prior to taking any action described in clause (i) or (ii) above, the Company’s board of directors determines in good faith after consultation with its outside legal counsel that (A) based on the information then available and after consultation with its financial advisor that such Acquisition Proposal either constitutes a Superior Proposal or would reasonably be expected to lead to a Superior Proposal and (B) the failure to take such action would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with the Company directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law.

(c) Notice. The Company shall promptly (and, in any event, within forty-eight (48) hours) notify Parent in writing if the Company receives or, to the Knowledge of the Company, its Representatives receive, (i) any Acquisition Proposal or, (ii) any request by any Person for information or access concerning the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with any Acquisition Proposal, or (iii) any discussions or negotiation with respect to an Acquisition Proposal are sought to be initiated or continued with the Company, and, in each instance, the Company shall indicate in such notice (A) the identity of such Person(s) making such Acquisition Proposal, (B) copies of any such Acquisition Proposal, Alternative Acquisition Agreement, request made in writing and any other written terms and proposals provided (including financing commitments) to the Company or its Representatives, and (C) a written summary of the material terms and conditions of any such Acquisition Proposal not made in writing. The foregoing obligations on the part of the Company shall apply with respect to any and all amended, revised or subsequent Acquisition Proposals and requests, and the Company shall keep Parent reasonably informed, on a prompt basis (and in any event within twenty-four (24) hours of any material developments), of the status and terms of any such proposals, offers or requests and the status of any such discussions or negotiations (including any material amendments or proposed amendments as to the price, form of consideration, and other material terms of any such Acquisition Proposal). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Company shall not, and shall cause its Subsidiaries not to enter into any Contract with any Person that prohibits or otherwise limits the Company from providing any information contemplated by this Section 6.2(c) to Parent or its Representatives or otherwise complying with its obligations in this Section 6.2(c).

(d) No Change in Recommendation or Alternative Acquisition Agreement. Except as permitted by Section 6.2(e) and Section 6.2(f), the Company’s board of directors shall not (i) withhold, withdraw, qualify or modify (or publicly propose or resolve to withhold, withdraw, qualify or modify), in a manner adverse to Parent, the Company Recommendation, (ii) adopt, approve, endorse, publicly propose, recommend or otherwise declare advisable any Acquisition Proposal, (iii) fail to include the Company Recommendation in the Proxy Statement that is mailed to the Company’s stockholders or in any other material press release or written

39

communication to the Company’s stockholders in connection with the Company Stockholders Meeting, (iv) in the event that (A) there is a publicly announced Acquisition Proposal, or (B) there is a public statement not in favor of the Merger made by a then-current stockholder of the Company, fail to publicly reaffirm the Company Recommendation within ten (10) Business Days following each written request by Parent to the Company’s board of directors to do so (provided that Parent may make such a request no more than once in response to each publicly announced Acquisition Proposal (it being understood that the amendment of the form or amount of consideration or any material term of an Acquisition Proposal shall comprise a new Acquisition Proposal for this purpose) and no more than once in response to each such public statement by such then-current stockholder), (v) fail to recommend against acceptance of any tender or exchange offer for the Shares within ten (10) Business Days after the commencement of such offer or fail to maintain at any time such a recommendation against such offer at any time before the expiration or withdrawal of such offer, or (vi) resolve, propose or agree, or propose to resolve or agree, to take any of the foregoing actions (any of the actions described in clause (i) through (vi) of this Section 6.2(d), a “Change in Recommendation”).

(e) Superior Proposal Exception to Change in Recommendation Provision or Entry into an Alternative Acquisition Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 6.2(d), following receipt of a written Acquisition Proposal by the Company after the date of this Agreement that did not result from a breach, in any material respect, of this Section 6.2 and that the Company’s board of directors determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel and financial advisors, constitutes a Superior Proposal, the Company’s board of directors may, at any time prior to the time the Company Requisite Vote is obtained, make a Change in Recommendation or terminate this Agreement to enter into an Alternative Acquisition Agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal in accordance with Section 6.2(e)(ii), in each case, only if all of the following conditions are met:

(i) the Company shall have (A) as promptly as practicable, provided to Parent at least four (4) Business Days’ prior written notice before taking such action, which notice shall state expressly (1) that it has received a written Acquisition Proposal that has not been withdrawn and that the Company’s board of directors has concluded in good faith (after consultation with its outside legal counsel and financial advisors) constitutes a Superior Proposal, (2) to the extent not previously provided to Parent pursuant to Section 6.2(c) (and without limiting the obligations under Section 6.2(c)), the material terms and conditions of such Acquisition Proposal (including the consideration offered therein and the identity of the Person or group making the Acquisition Proposal) and shall have contemporaneously provided unredacted copies of all Alternative Acquisition Agreements, proposals and other documents (including financing commitments) related to such Acquisition Proposal (it being understood and agreed that any amendment to the financial terms or any other material term or condition of such Acquisition Proposal shall require a new notice and an additional two (2) Business Day period) and (3) that, subject to clause (ii) below, the Company’s board of directors has determined to make a Change in Recommendation or to terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 8.3(b) in order to enter into the Alternative Acquisition Agreement with respect to such Acquisition Proposal absent revisions to the terms of this Agreement, as applicable, (B) prior to effecting such Change in Recommendation or such termination in accordance with Section 8.3(b), as applicable, engaged in good faith with Parent (to the extent Parent wishes to engage) during such four (4) Business Day notice period (as it may be extended pursuant to this Section 6.2(e)(i)), which may be on a non-

40

exclusive basis, to consider any adjustments proposed by Parent to the terms and conditions of this Agreement so that such Acquisition Proposal ceases to constitute a Superior Proposal (it being understood and agreed that any revision to the amount or form of consideration or any other material term or condition of such Acquisition Proposal shall extend such four (4) Business Day notice period for an additional two (2) Business Days (it being further understood and agreed that there may be multiple extensions and that all notice obligations of the Company set forth in Section 6.2(c) and this Section 6.2(e) shall apply with respect to each such revision of the amount or form of consideration or other material terms of such Acquisition Proposal)), and (C) complied in all material respects with its obligations under this Section 6.2; and

(ii) after the expiration of the notice period or periods under Section 6.2(e)(i), the Company’s board of directors shall have determined, in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisors and outside legal counsel, that, after taking into account any revised terms proposed by Parent, such Acquisition Proposal continues to constitute a Superior Proposal and that the failure to make such Change in Recommendation or to so terminate this Agreement to enter into an Alternative Acquisition Agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal in accordance with Section 8.3(b), as applicable, would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall enter into an Alternative Acquisition Agreement before this Agreement has been validly terminated in accordance with its terms, including payment of the Company Termination Fee pursuant to Section 8.5(b).

(f) Intervening Event Exception to Change in Recommendation Provision. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 6.2(d), upon the occurrence of any Intervening Event, the Company’s board of directors may, at any time prior to the time the Company Requisite Vote is obtained, make a Change in Recommendation, only if all of the following conditions are met:

(i) the Company shall have (A) promptly provided to Parent at least four (4) Business Days’ prior written notice before taking such action, which notice shall (1) set forth in reasonable detail information describing the underlying material facts giving rise to the Intervening Event and the rationale for the Change in Recommendation and (2) state expressly that, subject to clause (ii) below, the Company’s board of directors has determined to make a Change in Recommendation absent revisions to the terms of this Agreement, (B) prior to effecting such a Change in Recommendation, engaged in good faith with Parent (to the extent Parent wishes to engage) during such four (4) Business Day notice period to consider any adjustments proposed by Parent to the terms and conditions of this Agreement such that the failure of the Company’s board of directors to make a Change in Recommendation in response to the Intervening Event in accordance with clause (ii) below would no longer be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law and (C) complied in all material respects with its obligations under this Section 6.2; and

(ii) after the expiration of the notice period or periods under Section 6.2(f)(i), the Company’s board of directors shall have determined in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel and financial advisors, that in light of such Intervening Event and after taking into account any revised terms proposed by Parent, the failure to make a Change in Recommendation would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law.

41

(g) Certain Permitted Disclosure. Nothing contained herein shall prevent the Company’s board of directors from disclosing to the Company’s stockholders a position contemplated by Rule 14d-9 and Rule 14e-2(a) promulgated under the Exchange Act with regard to an Acquisition Proposal, if the Company’s board of directors 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’s board of directors 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’s board of directors and the rights of Parent under this Section 6.2 and (ii) nothing in the foregoing will be deemed to permit the Company or the Company’s board of directors to make a Change in Recommendation other than in accordance with Section 6.2(e) and Section 6.2(f).

6.3 Information Supplied.

(a) The Company shall, as promptly as reasonably practicable (and in any event within thirty (30) calendar days after the date of this Agreement), prepare and file with the SEC a proxy statement on Schedule 14A (such proxy statement, including any amendment or supplement thereto, the “Proxy Statement”) in preliminary form relating to the Company Stockholders Meeting. The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to promptly provide responses to the SEC and resolve, and each party hereto agrees to consult and cooperate with the other party in resolving, any comments received on the Proxy Statement by the SEC. The Company shall cause the definitive Proxy Statement to be mailed to the Company’s stockholders as promptly as possible following the filing thereof with the SEC and in any event within seven (7) Business Days of the first to occur of (x) ten (10) calendar days following the filing of the preliminary Proxy Statement if the staff of the SEC (the “Staff”) has not informed the Company that it will review the Proxy Statement, or (y) the date the Staff advises that it has no further comments thereon or that the Company may commence mailing the Proxy Statement, as the case may be, and shall take all necessary actions to set a record date for the Company Stockholders Meeting promptly (including conducting broker searches in accordance with Rule 14a-13 of the Exchange Act, and setting a preliminary record date) to accommodate such a mailing date.

(b) No filing of, or amendment or supplement to, the Proxy Statement or any other SEC filing related to Parent, Merger Sub, their Affiliates or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (such other SEC filing, an “Other Company Filing”) will be made by the Company without providing Parent a reasonable opportunity to review and comment thereon (other than the disclosure of a Change in Recommendation in any filing, amendment or supplement), and the Company shall consider in good faith any comments related thereto reasonably proposed by Parent or its counsel. The Company shall promptly provide Parent with copies of all such filings, amendments or supplements to the extent not readily publicly available. In connection with the Proxy Statement, Parent shall (i) furnish all information required by the Exchange Act or applicable Law concerning it and its Affiliates to the Company, (ii) provide such other assistance as may be reasonably requested by the Company in connection with the preparation of information to be included therein and (iii) otherwise reasonably assist and cooperate with the Company in the

42

preparation of the Proxy Statement and the resolution of any comments received from the SEC. The Company agrees that all information related to Parent and its Affiliates included in the Proxy Statement or Other Company Filing shall be in form and content reasonably satisfactory to Parent. If at any time prior to the receipt of the Company Requisite Vote, any information relating to the Company or Parent, or any of their respective Affiliates, directors or officers, is discovered by the Company or Parent which is required to be set forth in an amendment or supplement to the Proxy Statement such that the Proxy Statement would not (A) include any misstatement of a material fact or (B) omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, then (x) the party that makes such discovery shall promptly notify the other party and (y) the Company shall prepare (with Parent’s reasonable assistance) and file with the SEC an appropriate amendment or supplement describing such information and, to the extent required by applicable Law, disseminate such amendment or supplement the stockholders of the Company. The Company shall notify Parent promptly of the receipt of any comments from the SEC or the Staff and of any request by the SEC or the Staff for amendments or supplements to the Proxy Statement or for additional information and shall supply Parent with copies of all correspondence between it or any of its Representatives, on the one hand, and the SEC or the Staff, on the other hand, with respect to the Proxy Statement or the transactions contemplated hereby, including the Merger. No response to any comments from the SEC or the Staff relating to the Proxy Statement will be made by the Company without providing Parent a reasonable opportunity to review and comment thereon, and the Company shall consider in good faith any comments reasonably proposed by Parent or its counsel thereon. The Company will cause the Proxy Statement to comply in all material respects with applicable Law, including the provisions of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, and the rules of the NASDAQ.

6.4 Company Stockholders Meeting.

(a) The Company will, as promptly as reasonably practicable in accordance with applicable Law and the Company Certificate of Incorporation and Company Bylaws, and the rules of the NASDAQ, take all action necessary to duly call, give notice of, convene and hold a meeting of holders of Shares to consider and vote upon the adoption of this Agreement (the “Company Stockholders Meeting”) as promptly as reasonably practicable following the mailing of the Proxy Statement to the Company’s stockholders for the purpose of obtaining the Company Requisite Vote. Subject to the provisions of Section 6.2, the Company’s board of directors shall (i) include the Company Recommendation in the Proxy Statement, (ii) recommend at the Company Stockholders Meeting that the holders of Shares adopt this Agreement and (iii) use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain and solicit such adoption. The Company shall keep Parent reasonably informed on a reasonably current basis, and promptly upon Parent’s request, of the status of its efforts to solicit and obtain the Company Requisite Vote. The Company shall permit Parent and its Representatives to attend the Company Stockholders Meeting if requested by Parent in writing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if on or before the date on which the Company Stockholders Meeting is scheduled, the Company reasonably believes that (A) it will not receive proxies representing the Company Requisite Vote, whether or not a quorum is present or (B) it will not have enough Shares represented to constitute a quorum necessary to conduct the business of the Company Stockholders Meeting, the Company may (and shall at the reasonable request of Parent), in its reasonable discretion, postpone or adjourn, or make one or more successive postponements or adjournments of, the Company Stockholders Meeting in consultation

43

with Parent. In addition, notwithstanding the first and second sentence of this Section 6.4(a), the Company may postpone or adjourn the Company Stockholders Meeting to allow reasonable additional time for the filing or mailing of any supplemental or amended disclosure that the Company has determined, after consultation with outside legal counsel, is reasonably likely to be required under applicable Law and for such supplemental or amended disclosure to be disseminated in a manner suitable under applicable Law and reviewed by stockholders of the Company prior to the Company Stockholders Meeting. The foregoing notwithstanding, the Company may not, without the prior written consent of Parent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) or except as expressly required by an Order, postpone or adjourn the Company Stockholders Meeting for a period of more than 10 Business Days on any single occasion or, on any occasion, to a date after the earlier of (x) 60 Business Days after the date on which the Company Stockholders Meeting was originally scheduled and (y) 10 Business Days before the Termination Date. Without the prior written consent of Parent, the matters contemplated by the Company Requisite Vote shall be the only matters (other than matters of procedure and matters required by or advisable under applicable Law to be voted on by the Company’s stockholders in connection therewith) that the Company shall propose to be voted on by the stockholders of the Company at the Company Stockholders Meeting.

(b) Notwithstanding any Change in Recommendation, the Company shall nonetheless submit this Agreement to the holders of Shares for adoption at the Company Stockholders meeting unless this Agreement is terminated in accordance with ARTICLE VIII prior to the Company Stockholders Meeting.

6.5 Filings; Other Actions; Notification and Cooperation.

(a) The Company and Parent shall, subject to Section 6.2, cooperate with each other and use, and shall cause their respective Subsidiaries and Affiliates to use, their respective best efforts to take (or cause to be taken) all actions, and do (or cause to be done) all things necessary, proper or advisable under this Agreement and applicable Laws and Orders to consummate and make effective the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement as expeditiously as possible, and in no event later than the Termination Date, including (i) preparing and filing all documentation to effect all necessary notices, reports and other filings (and in any event, by filing within ten (10) Business Days after the date of this Agreement the pre-merger notification and report forms required to be filed under the HSR Act with respect to the Merger, and as promptly as practicable in the case of all other filings required under any Antitrust Laws with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby) and to obtain as expeditiously as possible all consents, registrations, approvals, permits, expirations of waiting periods and authorizations necessary or advisable to be obtained from any third party or any Governmental Entity in order to consummate the Merger or any of the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (ii) satisfying the conditions to consummating the Merger, (iii) defending any lawsuits or other legal proceedings, whether judicial or administrative, challenging this Agreement or the consummation of the Merger, (iv) obtaining (and cooperating with each other in obtaining) any consent, approval of, waiver or any exemption by, any non-governmental third party, in each case, to the extent necessary, proper or advisable in connection with the Merger and (v) executing and delivering any reasonable additional instruments necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and to fully carry out the purposes of this Agreement. The parties shall submit a declaration to CFIUS under 31 CFR § 800.402 and, only if requested by CFIUS under 31 CFR § 800.407, a joint voluntary notice.

44

(b) Subject to Section 6.5(c), in the event that the parties receive a request for information or documentary material pursuant to the HSR Act or any other Antitrust Laws, the parties will use their respective best efforts to submit as promptly as practicable, any additional information and documentary material pursuant to such request and counsel for both parties will closely cooperate in connection with such response. None of the parties, including their respective Subsidiaries and Affiliates, shall knowingly take, cause or permit to be taken, or omit to take, any action which such party reasonably expects is likely to materially delay or prevent consummation of the contemplated transactions, unless otherwise agreed to by the parties. Parent shall not, without giving the Company a reasonable opportunity to participate and make any suggestions (to the extent reasonably practicable and permitted by applicable Law), and the Company shall not, without Parent’s prior written consent, (i) enter into any timing or settlement or similar agreement, or otherwise knowingly agree or commit to any arrangement, that would have the effect of extending, suspending, lengthening or otherwise tolling the expiration or termination of the waiting period applicable to the contemplated transactions under the HSR Act or any Antitrust Laws, or (ii) enter into any timing or similar agreement, or otherwise agree or commit to any arrangement that would bind or commit the parties not to consummate the contemplated transactions (or that would otherwise prevent or prohibit the parties from consummating the contemplated transaction).

(c) Parent and the Company shall cooperate and consult with each other in connection with the making of all filings, notifications, communications, submissions, and any other actions pursuant to this Section 6.5. No party hereto or its counsel shall independently participate in any substantive call or meeting relating to the Antitrust Laws with any Governmental Entity in respect of such filings, investigation, or other inquiry without first giving the other party or its counsel prior notice of such call or meeting and, to the extent permitted by such Governmental Entity, the opportunity to attend and participate. In furtherance of the foregoing and to the extent permitted by applicable Law, (i) each party shall notify the other, as far in advance as practicable, of any filing or material or substantive communication or inquiry it or any of its Subsidiaries intends to make with any Governmental Entity relating to the matters that are the subject of this Section 6.5, (ii) prior to submitting any such filing or making any such communication or inquiry, such party shall provide the other party and its counsel a reasonable opportunity to review, and shall consider in good faith the comments of the other party in connection with, any such filing, communication or inquiry, (iii) promptly following the submission of such filing or making such communication or inquiry, provide the other party with a copy of any such filing or, if in written form, communication or inquiry except to the extent the other party has access to such filing, communication or inquiry, and (iv) consult with the other party in connection with any inquiry, hearing, investigation or litigation by, or negotiations with, any Governmental Entity relating to the Merger, including the scheduling of, and strategic planning for, any meetings with any Governmental Entity relating thereto. In exercising the foregoing cooperation rights, the Company and Parent each shall act reasonably and as promptly as reasonably practicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, materials provided pursuant to this Section 6.5 may be reasonably redacted as necessary to address reasonable privilege or confidentiality concerns and Parent may redact from documents shown to the Company nonpublic information relating to the businesses of Parent and its Affiliates.

45

(d) In furtherance and not in limitation of the covenants of the parties contained in this Section 6.5, each of the parties hereto, including their respective Subsidiaries and Affiliates, hereto shall use its respective best efforts to resolve such objections, if any, as may be asserted by any Governmental Entity in connection with the HSR Act, any other applicable Antitrust Laws with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby and to avoid the entry of, or effect the dissolution of, any decree, order, judgment, injunction, temporary restraining order or other order in any suit or proceeding, that would otherwise have the effect of preventing the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby. For the purposes of this Section 6.5, “best efforts” shall mean taking any and all actions (such actions, together with the actions required under Section 6.5(e), the “Regulatory Actions”) necessary to obtain the consents, approvals, permits, waiting period expirations or authorizations of any Governmental Entity required to consummate the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby as expeditiously as possible, and in no event later than the Termination Date, including (A)(i) proposing, negotiating, committing to, effecting and agreeing to, by consent decree, hold separate order, or otherwise, the sale, divestiture, license, hold separate, and other disposition of the businesses, assets, products or equity interests of the Company or any of Parent’s other businesses, assets, products or equity interests now owned or hereafter acquired by Parent, (ii) creating, terminating, or amending any existing relationships, ventures, contractual rights or obligations of Parent, the Company or their respective Subsidiaries, (iii) otherwise taking or committing to any action that would limit the freedom of action of Parent, the Company or any of their respective Subsidiaries with respect to the operation of, or its ability to retain or hold, directly or indirectly, any businesses, assets, products or equity interests of Parent, the Company or their respective Subsidiaries, as applicable; provided, that such Regulatory Actions shall be conditioned upon and become effective only from and after the Effective Time; and (B) defending through litigation on the merits any claim asserted in court by any party in order to avoid entry of, or to have vacated or terminated, any decree, order or judgment (whether temporary, preliminary or permanent) that would prevent the Closing from occurring prior to the Termination Date; provided further, that such litigation in no way limits the obligation of Parent to, and to cause its controlled Affiliates to, use its best efforts, and to take any and all steps necessary, to eliminate each and every such impediment so as to be able to close the transactions contemplated hereby prior to the Termination Date. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Parent shall have no obligation to litigate in any court to seek to vacate or terminate or avoid the entry of, any decree, order or judgement under the DPA.

(e) In furtherance and not in limitation of the covenants of the parties contained in this Section 6.5, but subject to the restrictions as described in Section 6.5(f), if any administrative or judicial Proceeding, including any such Proceeding by a private party, is instituted (or threatened to be instituted) challenging the Merger or any other transaction contemplated by this Agreement as violative of any Antitrust Law, each of the Company and Parent shall use its 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 the consummation of the Merger; provided, that Parent shall bear fifty percent (50%) of all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket third party litigation fees and expenses associated directly with contesting or resisting any such formal action or proceeding once instituted.

46

(f) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary:

(i) subject to Section 6.5(c), Parent shall, on behalf of the parties, control and lead all communications, meetings, negotiations and strategy in connection with obtaining consents, registrations, approvals, permits, expirations of waiting periods and authorizations necessary or advisable to be obtained from any third party or any Governmental Entity in order to consummate the Merger or any of the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and Parent shall, on behalf of the parties, control and lead the defense strategy for dealing with any administrative or judicial action or proceeding that is initiated or threatened to be initiated challenging this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby that are brought by any Governmental Entity or relate to any Antitrust Laws; provided, that Parent shall consult in good faith with the Company in connection with and throughout all such controlling and leading;

(ii) without the prior consent of Parent, the Company shall not undertake, or agree with or propose to any Governmental Entity or third party to undertake, any Regulatory Actions;

(iii) without the prior consent of Parent, the Company shall not undertake, or agree with or propose to any non-governmental third party, any action (including payments or entrance into or modification of Contracts) in connection with obtaining any consent or approval of, or waiver or any exemption by, any non-governmental third party in connection with the Merger;

(iv) Parent shall not have any obligation to propose, undertake, or agree to any Regulatory Action if such Regulatory Action would reasonably be expected to, individually or in the aggregate with all other Regulatory Actions, result in a Substantial Detriment or if the effectiveness of any Regulatory Action is not conditioned upon the Closing. “Substantial Detriment” means (A) in the case of Regulatory Actions necessary to obtain the CFIUS Clearance, a material adverse impact on the Company (or the Surviving Corporation) 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), including taking into account, for the avoidance of doubt, any material impairment of the prospects or loss of the benefits and/or advantages reasonably expected to be received by Parent from the transactions contemplated hereby; and (B) in the case of all other Regulatory Actions, a material adverse impact on the combined business of the Company (or the Surviving Corporation) and its Subsidiaries, Parent, or the pro forma Parent (together with the Company and its Subsidiaries), taken as a whole; and

(v) Parent’s obligations to take or cause to take any actions described in this Section 6.5, 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 third parties and Governmental Entities with respect to such actions.

47

(g) Information. The Company and Parent each shall, upon request by the other, promptly furnish the other with all information concerning itself, its Subsidiaries, Affiliates, directors, officers and stockholders and such other matters as may be reasonably requested by the other party that is necessary or advisable in connection with any statement, filing, notice or application made by or on behalf of Parent, the Company or any of their respective Subsidiaries to any third party or any Governmental Entity in connection with the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided that materials provided pursuant to this Section 6.5 may be reasonably redacted as necessary to address reasonable privilege concerns and Parent may redact from documents shown to the Company nonpublic information relating to the businesses of Parent and its Affiliates.

(h) Status. The Company and Parent shall keep each other reasonably apprised of the status of matters relating to completion of the transactions contemplated hereby, including promptly furnishing the other with copies of any notice or other communications received by the Company or Parent, as the case may be, or any of their respective Subsidiaries or Affiliates from any third party or any Governmental Entity with respect to the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, other than immaterial communications.

6.6 Access; Consultation.

(a) Upon reasonable advance notice (and in any event not less than twenty-four (24) hours’ notice), and except as may otherwise be required by applicable Law, (x) the Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries, and shall direct its and their Representatives to, afford Parent, its Subsidiaries and the Financing Parties reasonable access, during normal business hours during the period prior to the Effective Time, to the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ employees, properties, assets, books, records, Tax Returns and contracts and, (y) during such period, the Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, (1) furnish promptly to Parent, its Subsidiaries and the Financing Parties all information concerning its or any of its Subsidiaries’ capital stock, business and personnel as may reasonably be requested by Parent or the Financing Parties in connection with the Merger or the Financing and (2) cooperate reasonably with Parent in preparing for the transition and integration of the financial reporting systems of the Company and its Subsidiaries to and with the financial reporting systems of Parent or its Subsidiaries following the Effective Time, including by considering in good faith any comments of Parent with respect to the Company’s preparation of financial statements; provided, that no investigation pursuant to this Section 6.6 or information provided, made available or delivered to Parent, its Representatives or the Financing Parties pursuant to this Agreement shall affect or be deemed to modify any representation or warranty made by the Company; provided further, that the foregoing shall not require the Company to permit any invasive environmental sampling or similar invasive environmental inspection or to disclose any information pursuant to this Section 6.6, to the extent that (i) in the reasonable and good faith judgment of the Company, any applicable Law or Order requires the Company or its Subsidiaries to restrict or prohibit access to any such information or disclosure thereof would expose the Company to an unreasonable risk of liability for disclosure of sensitive or personal information, (ii) the information is subject to confidentiality obligations to a third party or its disclosure would violate the terms of any confidentiality agreement or other Contract that is binding on the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or (iii) disclosure of any such information or document would result in the waiver or loss of attorney-client privilege, work product doctrine or any other legal privilege; provided further, that with respect to the foregoing clauses (i) through (iii) of this Section 6.6(a), the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to (A) obtain the required consent of any such third party to provide such disclosure, (B)

48

develop an alternative to providing such information so as to address such matters that is reasonably acceptable to the Company and (C) in the case of clauses (i) and (iii), implement appropriate and mutually agreeable measures to permit the disclosure of such information in a manner to remove the basis for the objection, including by arrangement of appropriate clean room procedures, redaction (solely to the extent necessary) or entry into a customary joint defense agreement with respect to any information to be so provided, if the parties determine that doing so would reasonably permit the disclosure of such information without violating applicable Law or jeopardizing such privilege. Any investigation or cooperation pursuant to this Section 6.6 shall be conducted in such a manner as not to interfere unreasonably with the conduct of the business of the Company. All requests for information or cooperation made pursuant to this Section 6.6 shall be directed to an executive officer of the Company or such Person as may be designated by any such executive officer.

(b) To the extent Parent requests further information or investigation of the basis of any potential violations of Laws relating to Sanctions and Export Controls, the Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with such request, make available any personnel or experts engaged by the Company or its Subsidiaries necessary to accommodate such request, and, if reasonably requested by Parent, make submissions as promptly as practicable thereafter to Governmental Entities concerning such potential violations or to satisfy obligations under Laws relating to Sanctions and Export Controls (including, for the avoidance of doubt, self-classification reports to BIS), consistent with Law, in consultation with Parent; provided, that nothing in this Section 6.6(b) shall require such cooperation to the extent it would, or would be likely to, (A) interfere unreasonably with the business or operations of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, (B) 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, or (C) require the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to bear any out-of-pocket third party cost or expense or pay any fee (other than those costs and fees that Parent commits to reimburse).

(c) The Company may, as it reasonably deems advisable and necessary to comply with applicable Law, designate competitively sensitive material as “Outside Counsel Only Material” or with similar restrictions. Such material and the information contained therein shall be given only to the outside counsel of the recipient pursuant to a reasonable arrangement designed to assure compliance with Law and shall be subject to any additional confidentiality or joint defense agreement between the parties. All information exchanged pursuant to this Section 6.6, including all information and/or discussions resulting from any access provided pursuant to this Section 6.6 shall be subject to the Confidentiality Agreement, which shall survive any termination of this Agreement and continue in full force and effect in accordance with its terms.

(d) To the extent that any of the information or material furnished pursuant to this Section 6.6 or otherwise in accordance with the terms of this Agreement may include material subject to the attorney-client privilege, work product doctrine or any other applicable privilege concerning pending or threatened legal proceedings or governmental investigations, the parties understand and agree that they have a commonality of interest with respect to such matters and it is their desire, intention and mutual understanding that the sharing of such material is not intended to, and shall not, waive or diminish in any way the confidentiality of such material or its continued protection under the attorney-client privilege, work product doctrine or other applicable privilege.

49

All such information that is entitled to protection under the attorney-client privilege, work product doctrine or other applicable privilege shall remain entitled to such protection under these privileges, this Agreement, and under the joint defense doctrine.

(e) Each of the Company and Parent shall, after becoming aware, give prompt written notice to one another of (i) any change, effect, circumstance or development that would reasonably be expected to result in a Company Material Adverse Effect or Parent Material Adverse Effect (as applicable), (ii) any reasonably likely failure of any condition to Parent’s or the Company’s obligations to effect the Merger (as applicable), (iii) any notice or other communication received by such party from any Governmental Entity in connection with this Agreement or the Merger or from any Person alleging that the consent of such Person is or may be required in connection with the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The failure to provide notification under this Section 6.6 shall not affect the representations or warranties of the notifying party or the conditions to the obligations of the parties under this Agreement or limit or otherwise affect the remedies available hereunder.

6.7 Stock Exchange De-listing and De-registration. The Company shall cooperate with Parent and use its commercially reasonable 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 to cause the Shares to be de-listed from the NASDAQ and de-registered under the Exchange Act, in each case, as soon as possible following the Effective Time.

6.8 Publicity. The Company and Parent shall consult with each other prior to issuing or making, and provide each other the opportunity to review and comment on, any press releases or other public announcements with respect to the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement and any filings with any third party or any Governmental Entity (including any national securities exchange) with respect thereto, except (a) as may be required by applicable Law or by obligations pursuant to any listing agreement with or rules of any foreign or U.S. securities exchange or the NASDAQ, (b) any consultation that would not be reasonably practicable as a result of requirements of applicable Law, (c) any press release or public statement that in the good faith judgment of the applicable party is consistent with prior press releases issued or public statements made in compliance with this Section 6.8 or (d) with respect to any Change in Recommendation made in accordance with this Agreement or Parent’s response thereto.

6.9 Employee Benefits.

(a) Parent agrees that each employee of the Company or its Subsidiaries who continues to remain employed with the Company or its Subsidiaries following the Closing (a “Continuing Employee”) shall, during the period commencing at the Effective Time and ending on the twelve (12) month anniversary of the Effective Time, be provided with (i) a base salary or base wage that is no less favorable than the base salary or base wage provided to such Continuing Employee by the Company and its Subsidiaries immediately prior to the Effective Time, (ii) target annual cash bonus opportunities and target long-term incentive compensation opportunities that are no less favorable in the aggregate than the target annual cash bonus opportunities provided to such Continuing Employee by the Company and its Subsidiaries for the year in which the Effective Time occurs and the target long-term incentive compensation opportunities awarded to such Continuing Employee by the Company and its Subsidiaries in the March annual grant period

50

immediately prior to the Effective Time (based on the closing price of a Share on the date of grant of such long-term incentive compensation opportunities), and (iii) employee benefits (excluding severance) that are substantially comparable in the aggregate to those provided by the Company and its Subsidiaries to such Continuing Employees as of immediately prior to the Effective Time; provided that (A) Parent may provide any long-term incentive compensation opportunities in the form of cash rather than equity and (B) no defined benefit pension, post-retirement welfare (other than any obligations to reimburse for COBRA continuation coverage) or change in control or other non-recurring compensation or benefits provided prior to the Effective Time shall be taken into account for purposes of this covenant. Additionally, Parent agrees that each Continuing Employee shall, during the period commencing at the Effective Time and ending on the eighteen (18) month anniversary of the Effective Time, be provided with severance benefits that are no less favorable than the severance benefits provided by the Company and its Subsidiaries to such Continuing Employee immediately prior to the Effective Time. This Section 6.9(a) shall not apply to any Continuing Employee who agrees in writing to a transfer of his or her employment to Parent, or one of Parent’s Subsidiaries other than the Company and any of its Subsidiaries, and agrees to be brought onto Parent’s, or the applicable Subsidiary’s, compensation and benefits offerings.

Parent shall, and shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, ensure that the organizational documents of the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries, shall, for a period of six (6) years from and after the Effective Time, contain provisions no less favorable with respect to indemnification, advancement of expenses and exculpation of Indemnified Parties than are presently set forth in the Company Certificate of Incorporation and Company Bylaws (or equivalent organizational and governing documents of any Subsidiary). Any right of indemnification of an Indemnified Party pursuant to this Section 6.11 shall not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified at any time in a manner that would adversely affect the rights of such Indemnified Party as provided herein.

If the Company for any reason fails to obtain such “tail” insurance policies as of the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall, and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, continue to maintain in effect for a period of at least six (6) years from and after the Effective Time the D&O Insurance in place as of the date of this Agreement with benefits and levels of coverage at least as favorable as

53

provided in the Company’s existing policies as of the date of this Agreement, or the Surviving Corporation shall, and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, purchase comparable D&O Insurance for such six-year period with benefits and levels of coverage at least as favorable as provided in the Company’s existing policies as of the date of this Agreement; provided, however that in no event shall the Company expend, or Parent or the Surviving Corporation be required to expend for such policies, an annual premium amount in excess of three-hundred percent (300%) of the annual premiums paid by the Company prior to the date hereof in respect of the D&O Insurance; and, provided, further that if the premium for such insurance coverage exceeds such amount, the Surviving Corporation shall obtain a policy with the greatest coverage available for a cost not exceeding such amount.

(c) If Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of their successors (i) shall consolidate with or merge into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) shall transfer all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then and in each such case proper provisions shall be made so that the successors of Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall assume all of the obligations of Parent or the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, set forth in this Section 6.11.

(d) The provisions of this Section 6.11 are intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each of the Indemnified Parties, their heirs and their representatives. The rights of each Indemnified Party under this Section 6.11 shall be in addition to any rights such individual may have under the Laws of the State of Delaware, any applicable indemnification agreement to which such Person is a party, the Company Certificate of Incorporation or the Company Bylaws, and Parent acknowledges and agrees that all rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses and exculpation from liabilities now existing in favor of any Indemnified Party pursuant to agreements made available to Parent in accordance with Section 9.11(b) for actions or omissions occurring at or prior to the Effective Time shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with their terms.

(e) Neither Parent nor 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 (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) to such settlement, compromise or consent.

(f) Nothing in this Agreement is intended to, shall be construed to or shall release, waive or impair any rights to any directors’ and officers’ insurance claims under any policy that is or has been in existence with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for any of their respective directors, officers or other employees, it being understood and agreed that the indemnification provided for in this Section 6.11 is not prior to or in substitution for any such claims under such policies.

(b) In connection with the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, in the event that Parent desires to purchase, effective immediately prior to, on or after the Effective Time, some or all of the Convertible Notes, whether through open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or one or more offers to purchase the Convertible Notes or other similar transactions (including any tender offer) (any such transaction, a “Repurchase Transaction”), each of the Company, Parent and Merger Sub shall use its respective commercially reasonable efforts to, and will use its respective commercially reasonable efforts to cause its respective Affiliates and Representatives (and, in the case of the Company, the Trustee) to, reasonably cooperate with one another in good faith to permit such Repurchase Transaction to be effected on such terms, conditions and timing as reasonably requested by Parent, including, if so requested by Parent, causing such Repurchase Transaction to be consummated substantially concurrently with, but not prior to, the Closing, and Parent shall, and the Company shall reasonably assist and cooperate with Parent to, prepare any documentation related thereto, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company, and shall provide the Company reasonable time to review such documentation; it being understood that in no event shall the Company or any of its Subsidiaries be required (i) to enter into or approve any documentation referred to in this Section 6.17(b) that takes effect or is effective prior to the Effective Time, or commence or effect any Repurchase Transaction that will result in such Repurchase Transaction being effective prior to the Effective Time, or (ii) to bear any out-of-pocket third party cost or expense or pay any fee (other than those costs and fees that Parent commits to reimburse) or provide any indemnity (other than any indemnity that Parent commits to reimburse or indemnify the Company for); it being further understood that (x) no such Repurchase Transaction shall delay the Closing beyond the date that it is required to occur under Section 1.2, and (y) nothing herein shall require such cooperation to the extent it would, or would be likely to (A) interfere unreasonably with the business or operations of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or (B) 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.

(b) (i) there shall have been a Change in Recommendation; or (ii) the Company shall have committed a Willful Breach under Section 6.2.

8.5 Effect of Termination and Abandonment.

(a) In the event of termination of this Agreement and the abandonment of the Merger pursuant to this ARTICLE VIII, this Agreement (other than as set forth in this Section 8.5 and in Section 9.1) shall become void and of no effect with no liability on the part of any party hereto (or of any of its respective Related Parties); provided that no such termination shall relieve any party hereto from any liability (i) for damages resulting from the Willful Breach prior to such termination by any party hereto or (ii) as provided in this Section 8.5 (including any obligation to pay, if applicable, (A) the Company Termination Fee pursuant to Section 8.5(b) or Section 8.5(c), (B) the No Vote Fee pursuant to Section 8.5(d) or (C) the CFIUS Termination Fee pursuant to Section 8.5(e)).

(b) If this Agreement is terminated (i) by Parent pursuant to Section 8.4(b) (Change in Recommendation; Termination for Willful Breach of Deal Protections) or (ii) by the Company pursuant to Section 8.3(b) (Termination for Superior Proposal), then the Company shall, within two (2) Business Days after such termination in the case of clause (i) or concurrently with such termination in the case of clause (ii), pay to Parent (or its designee), by wire transfer of immediately available funds, a fee equal to $200,000,000 (the “Company Termination Fee”).

(c) If (i) this Agreement is terminated (A) by Parent or the Company pursuant to Section 8.2(a) (Termination Date) or Section 8.2(b) (Shareholder Vote) or (B) by Parent pursuant to Section 8.4(a) (Company Breach), (ii) prior to such termination referred to in clause (i) of this sentence, but after the date of this Agreement, a bona fide Acquisition Proposal shall have been publicly disclosed by the Company or publicly made to the Company or shall have been made directly to the Company’s stockholders generally and (iii) within twelve (12) months after the date of a termination in either of the cases referred to in clauses (i)(A) and (i)(B) of this Section 8.5(c), the Company enters into a definitive agreement with respect to any Acquisition Transaction or consummates any Acquisition Transaction, then the Company shall pay the Company Termination Fee to Parent (or its designee) upon the date of consummation of such Acquisition Transaction (or, if such Acquisition Transaction is terminated before consummation, the consummation of any subsequent Acquisition Transaction that was entered into in connection with the termination of such Acquisition Transaction); provided that solely for purposes of this Section 8.5(c), all references in the definition of “Acquisition Transaction” to “twenty percent (20%) or more” shall be deemed to be references to “fifty percent (50%) or more”.

65

(d) If this Agreement is terminated by Parent or the Company pursuant to Section 8.2(b) (Shareholder Vote), then the Company shall pay Parent (or its designee) $61,000,000 (the “No Vote Fee”), by wire transfer of immediately available funds within two (2) Business Days following such termination by Parent or concurrent with such termination by the Company; provided, that if the No Vote Fee is paid to Parent (or its designee), it shall be credited toward, and shall reduce on a dollar for dollar basis the amount of, the Company Termination Fee payable under Section 8.5(c); provided, further, that Parent shall not have the right to the No Vote Fee pursuant to this Section 8.5(d) if (i) Parent at the time of such termination is then in material breach of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements under this Agreement and such material breach was the primary cause of the failure to obtain the Company Requisite Vote. The existence of circumstances under Section 8.5(c) that could require the Company Termination Fee (less the No Vote Fee previously paid to Parent (or its designee) by the Company) to become subsequently payable by the Company shall not relieve the Company of its obligations to pay the No Vote Fee when payable under this Section 8.5(d) and the payment by the Company of the No Vote Fee shall not relieve the Company of any subsequent obligation to pay the Company Termination Fee (less the No Vote Fee previously paid to Parent by the Company). Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Company Termination Fee shall be payable by the Company in lieu of a No Vote Fee if this Agreement is terminated by the Company pursuant to Section 8.2(b) and as of prior to such termination by the Company, Parent would have been entitled to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.4(b).

(e) If this Agreement is terminated

(i) by Parent or the Company pursuant to Section 8.2(a) (Termination Date) and, as of the time of such termination, (A) the conditions set forth in at least one of Section 7.1(b)(iii), Section 7.1(c) (as a result of a Law or Order relating to CFIUS) or Section 7.2(e) (as a result of the imposition of a Substantial Detriment relating to CFIUS) shall have not have been satisfied or waived, (B) a material breach by the Company of this Agreement is not the primary cause of one or more of the conditions in Section 7.1(b)(iii), Section 7.1(c) (as a result of a Law or Order relating to CFIUS) or Section 7.2(e) (as a result of the imposition of a Substantial Detriment relating to CFIUS) to not be satisfied and (C) all other conditions to the obligations of Parent and Merger Sub to effect the Merger set forth in Section 7.1 and Section 7.2 have been satisfied or waived (and, in the case of those conditions that by their terms are to be satisfied at the Closing, such conditions would be satisfied if the Closing were to occur),

(ii) by Parent or the Company pursuant to Section 8.2(c) (Injunctions) (as a result of a Law or Order relating to CFIUS) and, as of the time of such termination, (A) a material breach by the Company of this Agreement is not the primary cause of such Law or Order and (B) all conditions to the obligations of Parent and Merger Sub to consummate the Merger set forth in Section 7.1 and Section 7.2 (other than the conditions set forth in Section 7.1(b)(iii), Section 7.1(c) (as a result of a Law or Order relating to CFIUS), Section 7.2(e) (as a result of the imposition of a Substantial Detriment relating to CFIUS) and, if the Agreement is not yet eligible to be terminated under Section 8.2(b), Section 7.1(a)) have been satisfied or (to the extent permitted by applicable Law) waived (and, in the case of those conditions that by their terms are to be satisfied at the Closing, such conditions would be satisfied if the Closing were to occur), or

66

(iii) the Company shall have terminated this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.3(a) due to a breach or failure to perform by Parent of its covenants under Section 6.5 being the primary cause of one or more of the conditions in Section 7.1(b)(iii), Section 7.1(c) (as a result of a Law or Order relating to CFIUS), or Section 7.2(e) (as a result of the imposition of a Substantial Detriment relating to CFIUS) not being satisfied, and as of the time of such termination, (A) the conditions in Section 7.1(b)(iii), Section 7.1(c) (as a result of a Law or Order relating to CFIUS), or Section 7.2(e) (as a result of the imposition of a Substantial Detriment relating to CFIUS) have not all been satisfied or (to the extent permitted by Law) waived and (B) all conditions to the obligations of Parent and Merger Sub to consummate the Merger set forth in Section 7.1 and Section 7.2 (other than the conditions set forth in Section 7.1(b)(iii), Section 7.1(c) (as a result of a Law or Order relating to CFIUS), Section 7.2(e) (as a result of the imposition of a Substantial Detriment relating to CFIUS) and, if the Agreement is not yet eligible to be terminated under Section 8.2(b), Section 7.1(a)) have been satisfied or (to the extent permitted by applicable Law) waived (and, in the case of those conditions that by their terms are to be satisfied at the Closing, such conditions would be satisfied if the Closing were to occur),

then Parent shall pay to the Company (or its designee), by wire transfer of immediately available funds within two (2) Business Days following such termination by the Company or concurrent with such termination by Parent, a fee equal to $200,000,000 (the “CFIUS Termination Fee”).

(f) The parties acknowledge and hereby agree that each of the Company Termination Fee, the No Vote Fee and the CFIUS Termination Fee, if, as and when required pursuant to this Section 8.5, shall not constitute a penalty but will be liquidated damages, in a reasonable amount that, together with any amounts payable under Section 8.5(g), will compensate the party receiving such amount in the circumstances in which it is payable for the efforts and resources expended and opportunities foregone while negotiating this Agreement and in reliance on this Agreement and on the expectation of the consummation of the Merger, which amount would otherwise be impossible to calculate with precision. The parties acknowledge and hereby agree that in no event shall the Company or Parent be required to pay the Company Termination Fee, the No Vote Fee or the CFIUS Termination Fee, as applicable, on more than one occasion.

(g) Each party acknowledges that the agreements contained in this Section 8.5 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and that, without these agreements, no party would have entered into this Agreement; and accordingly, if the Company or Parent fails to pay promptly any amount that may become due pursuant to Section 8.5(b), Section 8.5(c), Section 8.5(d) or Section 8.5(e) (any such amount due, a “Payment”), and, in order to obtain such Payment, Parent or the Company, as applicable, commences a suit which results in a judgment against the Company or Parent, as applicable, for the applicable Payment, or any portion thereof, the Company or Parent, as applicable, shall pay to the other party (or its designee) its costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) in connection with such suit, together with interest on the amount of the Payment at the prime rate, as published in the Wall Street Journal, Eastern Edition, in effect on the date such Payment was required to be paid from such date, plus two percent (2%) through the date of full payment thereof.

(h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, but subject to the proviso in Section 8.5(a) and to Section 9.1, (i) in any circumstance in which this Agreement is terminated and Parent (or its designee) receives payment of the Company Termination Fee or the No Vote Fee in accordance herewith, the payment of the Company Termination Fee or the No Vote Fee and, if applicable, the costs and expenses of Parent pursuant to Section 8.5(g) shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of Parent and its stockholders, directors, officers and Affiliates against the Company, its Subsidiaries and Affiliates and any of their respective former, current or

future general or limited partners, stockholders, controlling Persons, managers, members, directors, officers, employees, Affiliates, Representatives or any their respective assignees or successors or any former, current or future general or limited partner, stockholder, controlling Person, manager, member, director, officer, employee, Affiliate, Representative, assignee or successor of any of the foregoing (collectively, “Related Parties”, and with respect to the Company, “Company Related Parties”) for any loss or damage suffered as a result of the failure of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement to be consummated or for a breach of, or failure to perform under, this Agreement or any certificate or other document delivered in connection herewith or otherwise or in respect of any representation made or alleged to have been made in connection herewith or therewith, and upon payment of such amounts, none of the Company Related Parties shall have any further liability or obligation relating to or arising out of this Agreement (except that the Company shall remain obligated to pay to Parent (or its designee) any amount due and payable pursuant to Section 8.5(g)), whether in equity or at law, in contract, in tort or otherwise); and (ii) in any circumstance in which this Agreement is terminated and the Company (or its designee) receives payment of the CFIUS Termination Fee in accordance herewith, the payment of the CFIUS Termination Fee and, if applicable, the costs and expenses of the Company pursuant to Section 8.5(g) shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Company and its stockholders, directors, officers and Affiliates against Parent and its Related Parties (with respect to Parent, “Parent Related Parties”) for any loss or damage suffered as a result of the failure of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement to be consummated or for a breach of, or failure to perform under, this Agreement or any certificate or other document delivered in connection herewith or otherwise or in respect of any representation made or alleged to have been made in connection herewith or therewith, and upon payment of such amounts, none of the Parent Related Parties shall have any further liability or obligation relating to or arising out of this Agreement (except that Parent shall remain obligated to pay to the Company (or its designee) any amount due and payable pursuant to Section 8.5(g)), whether in equity or at law, in contract, in tort or otherwise).

Where a reference in this Agreement is made to a Section, Schedule or Exhibit, such reference shall be to a Section of or Schedule or Exhibit to this Agreement unless otherwise indicated. Whenever the words “include”, “includes” or “including” are used in this Agreement, they shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation”. The words “hereof”, “herein” and “hereunder” and words of similar import when used in this Agreement shall refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement. The word “or” when used in this Agreement is

73

not exclusive. 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”. The terms “ordinary course” or “ordinary course of business” or words of similar import when used in this Agreement mean “ordinary course of business consistent with past practice”. All terms defined in this Agreement shall have the defined meanings when used in any certificate or other document made or delivered pursuant hereto unless otherwise defined therein. The definitions contained in this Agreement are applicable to the singular as well as the plural forms of such terms and to the masculine as well as to the feminine and neuter genders of such term. Any Contract or Law defined or referred to herein or in any agreement or instrument that is referred to herein means such Contract or Law as from time to time amended, modified or supplemented, including (in the case of Contracts) by waiver or consent and (in the case of Laws) by succession of comparable successor statutes and references to all attachments thereto and instruments incorporated therein; provided, that with respect to any Contract listed in the Company Disclosure Letter, such references shall only include any amendments, restatements, replacements or modifications that are made available to Parent.

(b) Any Contract or information referred to herein shall be deemed to have been “delivered”, “provided”, “furnished” or “made available” (or any phrase of similar import) to Parent by the Company if such Contract or information was (i) posted to the data room maintained by the Company with Datasite Inc. in connection with the Merger at least twenty-four (24) hours prior to the execution of this Agreement or (ii) otherwise provided directly (including through email) in written form to Parent or any of its Representatives prior to the execution and delivery of this Agreement. When calculating the period of time before which, within which or following which any act is to be done or step taken pursuant to this Agreement, the date that is the reference date in calculating such period shall be excluded.

(c) The parties have participated jointly in negotiating and drafting this Agreement. In the event that an ambiguity or a question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties, and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any provision of this Agreement.

9.12 Assignment. This Agreement shall not be assigned by operation of law or otherwise without the prior written consent of each of the other parties hereto, and any assignment without such consent shall be null and void; provided, that upon and following the Effective Time, Parent and Merger Sub may transfer any or all of its rights or obligations hereunder to any Affiliate; provided, further, that, in each case, no transfer shall relieve the transferring party of any of its obligations hereunder.

9.13 Specific Performance. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that irreparable damage would occur and that the parties would not have any adequate remedy at Law in the event that any of the obligations, undertakings, covenants or agreements of the parties to 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 Company, on the one hand, and Parent, on the other hand, shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement by the other party, to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement

74

(including Section 6.5, and including to cause the other party to consummate the Merger and the Closing and to make the payments contemplated by this Agreement, including ARTICLE I and ARTICLE III) by a decree of specific performance, in accordance with Section 9.5 of this Agreement, without the necessity of proving actual harm or damages or posting a bond or other security therefor, this being in addition to any other remedy or relief to which such party is entitled at law or in equity, and each party agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief on the basis that any other party has an adequate remedy at law or that any award of specific performance or other equitable remedy is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or in equity. Without limitation of the foregoing, the parties hereby further acknowledge and agree that prior to the Closing, each of the Company and Parent shall be entitled to seek specific performance to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of, and to prevent or cure breaches of the covenants required to be performed by Parent and Merger Sub or the Company, as applicable, under this Agreement (including Section 6.5, and including to cause the other party to consummate the Merger and the Closing and to make the payments contemplated by this Agreement, including ARTICLE I and ARTICLE III) in addition to any other remedy to which the Company or Parent is entitled at law or in equity, including the Company’s or Parent’s right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to ARTICLE VIII and, to the extent permitted by Section 8.5(a), seek money damages.
