THE OFFER

SECTION 2.01 The Offer. (a) Provided that this Agreement shall not have been terminated in accordance with Section 9.01, Purchaser shall, and Parent shall cause Purchaser to, commence, within the meaning of Rule 14d-2 under the Exchange Act, the Offer as promptly as reasonably practicable after the date hereof, but in no event later than ten (10) Business Days following the date of this Agreement. The obligation of Purchaser to (and Parent to cause Purchaser to) accept for payment and pay for all Shares tendered pursuant to the Offer shall be subject to the satisfaction of each of the conditions set forth in Annex A hereto (the “Offer Conditions”), and not to any other conditions. Purchaser expressly reserves the right to waive any of the Offer Conditions, to increase the Offer Price, and to make any other changes in the terms and conditions of the Offer; provided, however, that without the prior written consent of the Company neither Purchaser nor Parent shall (i) waive the Minimum Condition (as defined in Annex A), (ii) decrease the Offer Price payable in the Offer or change the form of consideration payable in the Offer, (iii) reduce the maximum number of Shares to be purchased in the Offer, (iv) impose conditions to the Offer in addition to the Offer Conditions or amend, modify or supplement any of the Offer Conditions or any other term of the Offer in a manner that is adverse to the holders of Shares, or (v) extend (or make any other amendment that would have the effect of extending) the Initial Expiration Date except as otherwise required or permitted by Section 2.01(c).

(b) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, unless extended in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Offer shall expire at 11:59 p.m. (New York City time) on the twentieth (20^th) Business Day (calculated in accordance with Rule 14d-1(g)(3) and 14d-2 promulgated under the Exchange Act) following the commencement of the Offer (the “Initial Expiration Date”) or, if the Offer has been extended in accordance with this Agreement, at the time and date to which the Offer has been so extended (the Initial Expiration Date, or such later time and date to which the Offer has been extended in accordance with this Agreement, the “Expiration Date”).

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement but subject to the provisions of Article IX, (i) Purchaser shall, and Parent shall cause Purchaser to, extend the Offer for any minimum period or periods (A) required by applicable Law, (B) required by applicable rules, regulations, interpretations or positions of the SEC or its staff or (C) required by any of the rules and regulations, including listing standards, of The NASDAQ Global Select Market (“Nasdaq”) or any other United States national securities exchange registered under the Exchange Act on which the applicable common stock is then traded, (ii) Purchaser shall extend the Offer if at any then-scheduled Expiration Date, the Company shall have brought any action in accordance with Section 10.09 to enforce specifically the performance of the terms and provisions of this Agreement by Parent or Purchaser (A) for the period during which such action is pending or (B) for such other time period established by the court presiding over such Action, (iii) in the event that any of the Offer Conditions are not satisfied or, to the extent permitted, waived, as of any then-scheduled Expiration Date, Purchaser shall extend the Offer for successive extension periods of five (5) Business Days each until all of the Offer Conditions are satisfied or, to the extent permitted, waived; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing clauses (i), (ii) and, (iii) of this Section 2.01(c), (A) in no event shall Purchaser be required to extend the Offer beyond the earlier to occur of (1) the date this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 9.01 or (2) the Outside Date and (B) if the Marketing Period has ended and the sole then-unsatisfied Offer Condition is the Minimum Condition, Purchaser may, and the Company may require Purchaser to, extend the Offer for up to four (4) occasions in consecutive periods of five (5) Business Days each and (iv) if, at the then scheduled Expiration Date, (A) the full amount of the Debt Financing will not be available to be funded at the consummation of the Offer and the Closing (other than as a result of a breach by Parent or Purchaser of any of their representations, warranties or covenants set forth in Section 5.08 and Section 7.15 of this Agreement) and (B) Parent and Purchaser acknowledge and agree in writing that (1) the Company may, at any time following such then-scheduled Expiration Date (without giving effect to any extension pursuant to this clause (iv)), terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.01(d)(iv) and receive the Parent Termination Fee and (2) all Offer Conditions set forth in paragraphs (d), (e) and (f) of Annex A will be deemed to have been satisfied or waived at the Expiration Date of the Offer after giving effect to any extension pursuant to this clause (iv), Purchaser shall have the right in its sole discretion to extend the Offer on up to four (4) occasions in consecutive increments of five (5) Business Days each (each such increment to end at 11:59 p.m. (New York City time) on the last Business Day of such increment) (or such other duration as may be agreed to by Parent and the Company); provided that Purchaser shall not be permitted to extend the Offer to a date later than the Outside Date.

(d) Purchaser shall not, and Parent shall cause Purchaser not to, terminate or withdraw the Offer prior to any scheduled Expiration Date without the prior written consent of the Company, except if this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 9.01. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 9.01, Purchaser shall, and Parent shall cause Purchaser to, promptly (and in any event within one (1) Business Day) terminate the Offer and not acquire any Shares pursuant thereto, and Purchaser shall, and Parent shall cause Purchaser to, promptly (and in any event within one (1) Business Day of such termination) return, and shall cause any depository acting on behalf of Purchaser to return, in accordance with applicable Law, all tendered Shares to the registered holders thereof. Parent shall not, and shall cause Purchaser not to, terminate or withdraw the Offer other than in connection with a termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.01.

(e) The Offer Price shall, subject to applicable withholding of Taxes, be net to the seller in cash, without interest, upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer. On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement and the satisfaction or, to the extent permitted, waiver of the Offer Conditions, Purchaser shall, and Parent shall cause Purchaser to, (i) promptly after the Expiration Date, accept for payment all Shares validly tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to the Offer in compliance with applicable Law (the time of such acceptance, the “Acceptance Time”) and (ii) promptly following the Acceptance Time, pay (or cause the Paying Agent to pay) for such Shares. Parent shall provide, or cause to be provided, to Purchaser (or the Paying Agent as contemplated by Section 3.09) on or prior to the Expiration Date funds necessary to purchase and pay for any and all Shares that Purchaser becomes obligated to purchase pursuant to the Offer. The Company agrees that no Shares held by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries will be tendered pursuant to the Offer.

(f) As promptly as reasonably practicable on the date of commencement of the Offer, Parent and Purchaser shall (i) file with the SEC a Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO with respect to the Offer (together with all amendments and supplements thereto, the “Schedule TO”) and (ii) cause the Tender Offer Statement to be disseminated to the holders of Shares as and to the extent required by applicable Law. The Tender Offer Statement shall contain an offer to purchase and forms of the related letter of transmittal, related summary advertisement and other required ancillary offer documents (the Schedule TO and such other documents, together with all supplements and amendments thereto, being referred to herein collectively as the “Offer Documents”). Subject to Section 7.02, the Company hereby consents to the inclusion in the Offer Documents of the Company Board Recommendation. Each of Parent, Purchaser and the Company agrees to correct promptly any information provided by it for use in the Offer Documents that shall have become (or shall have become known to be) false or misleading in any material respect, and Parent and Purchaser further agree to take all steps necessary to cause the Schedule TO, as so corrected, to be filed with the SEC, and the other Offer Documents, as so corrected, to be disseminated to holders of Shares, in each case as and to the extent required by applicable Laws. Parent and Purchaser shall give the Company and its counsel reasonable opportunity to review and comment on the Offer Documents each time prior to any such document being filed with the SEC or disseminated to holders of Shares, and Parent and Purchaser shall give reasonable and good faith consideration to any comments made by the Company and its counsel. Parent and Purchaser shall provide the Company and its counsel with (i) any comments or other communications, whether written or oral, that Parent, Purchaser or their counsel may receive from the SEC or its staff with respect to the Offer Documents promptly after the receipt of such comments or other communications and (ii) reasonable

opportunity to participate in the response of Parent or Purchaser to such comments and to provide comments on that response (to which reasonable and good faith consideration shall be given by Parent and Purchaser), including by participating with Parent and Purchaser or their counsel in any discussions or meetings with the SEC to the extent not prohibited by the SEC. Parent and Purchaser shall respond as promptly as practicable to any such SEC comments.

SECTION 2.02 Company Action. (a) As promptly as reasonably practicable on the date of commencement of the Offer, the Company shall (i) file with the SEC a Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9 (together with all amendments and supplements thereto, the “Schedule 14D-9”) containing, subject to Section 7.02, the Company Board Recommendation, and (ii) disseminate the Schedule 14D-9 to the holders of Shares, in each case, to the extent required by Rule 14d-9 promulgated under the Exchange Act, and any other applicable federal securities Laws. The Schedule 14D-9 shall also contain the notice of appraisal rights required to be delivered by the Company under Section 262(d) of the DGCL at the time the Company first files the Schedule 14D-9 with the SEC. The Company shall set the record date for the Company’s stockholders to receive notice of appraisal rights as the same date as the date of the list used to determine the persons to whom the Offer Documents and Schedule 14D-9 are first disseminated. Each of the Company, Parent and Purchaser agrees to correct promptly any information provided by it for use in the Schedule 14D-9 which shall have become (or shall have become known to be) false or misleading in any material respect, and the Company further agrees to take all steps necessary to cause the Schedule 14D-9, as so corrected, to be filed with the SEC and disseminated to holders of Shares, in each case as and to the extent required by applicable Laws. The Company shall give Parent and its counsel reasonable opportunity to review and comment on the Schedule 14D-9 prior to such document being filed with the SEC or disseminated to holders of Shares, and the Company shall give reasonable and good faith consideration to any comments made by Parent and its counsel. The Company shall provide Parent and its counsel with (i) any comments or other communications, whether written or oral, that the Company or its counsel may receive from the SEC or its staff with respect to the Schedule 14D-9 promptly after the receipt of such comments or other communications and (ii) reasonable opportunity to participate in the response of the Company to such comments and to provide comments on that response (to which reasonable and good faith consideration shall be given by the Company), including by participating with the Company or its counsel in any discussions or meetings with the SEC to the extent not prohibited by the SEC. The Company shall respond as promptly as practicable to any such SEC comments.

(b) The Company shall promptly (and in any event within seven (7) Business Days of the date of this Agreement) furnish Purchaser with mailing labels containing the names and addresses of all record holders of Shares and with security position listings of Shares held in stock depositories, each as of the latest practicable date, together with all other available listings and computer files containing names, addresses and security position listings of record holders and beneficial owners of Shares. The Company shall furnish Parent and Purchaser with such additional information, including, without limitation, updated listings and computer files of stockholders, mailing labels and security position listings, and such other assistance in disseminating the Offer Documents to holders of Shares as Parent or Purchaser may reasonably request in connection with the Offer. Subject to the requirements of applicable Law, and except for such steps as are necessary to disseminate the Offer Documents and any other documents necessary to consummate the Offer or the Merger, Parent, Purchaser and their Affiliates and their respective Representatives shall hold in confidence the information contained in such labels,

listings and files, shall use such information only in connection with the Transactions, and, if this Agreement shall be terminated in accordance with Section 9.01, shall upon the request of the Company deliver to the Company or destroy all copies of such information then in their possession, in each case in accordance with the Confidentiality Agreement.

ARTICLE III

SECTION 3.02 Closing. Unless this Agreement shall have been terminated in accordance with Section 9.01, subject to the provisions of this Agreement and pursuant to the DGCL (including Section 251(h) of the DGCL), the closing of the Merger (the “Closing”) will take place as soon as practicable following the Acceptance Time, subject to the satisfaction or, to the extent permitted, waiver of the other conditions to Closing set forth in Article VIII (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to their satisfaction or, to the extent permitted, waiver at the Closing), at the offices of Shearman & Sterling LLP, 599 Lexington Avenue, New York, New York 10022, or at such other place, at such time or on such other date as Parent and the Company may mutually agree in writing (the date on which the Closing occurs being the “Closing Date”).

SECTION 3.03 Effective Time. On the Closing Date, or on such other date as Parent and the Company may agree to in writing, Parent, Purchaser and the Company shall cause the certificate of merger or certificate of ownership and merger or other appropriate documents (the “Certificate of Merger”) to be executed and filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware in accordance with the relevant provisions of the DGCL and shall make all other filings or recordings required under the DGCL. The Merger shall become effective at the time the Certificate of Merger shall have been duly filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware or such other date and time as is agreed upon by the parties and specified in the Certificate of Merger, such date and time hereinafter referred to as the “Effective Time.”

SECTION 3.04 Effects of the Merger. As a result of the Merger, (a) the separate corporate existence of Purchaser shall cease, and the Company shall continue as the surviving corporation of the Merger (the “Surviving Company”) and (b) the Merger shall have the effects set forth in this Agreement and in the applicable provisions of the DGCL. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, at the Effective Time, all the property, rights, privileges, immunities, powers and franchises of the Company and Purchaser shall vest in the Surviving Company, and all debts, liabilities, obligations, restrictions, disabilities and duties of the Company and Purchaser shall become the debts, liabilities, obligations, restrictions, disabilities and duties of the Surviving Company.

SECTION 3.05 Certificate of Incorporation and By-laws of the Surviving Company. At the Effective Time, (a) the certificate of incorporation of the Company, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be amended as a result of the Merger so as to read in its entirety as set forth in Annex B and shall be the certificate of incorporation of the

Surviving Company and (b) the by-laws of Purchaser, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be the by-laws of the Surviving Company, in each case until thereafter amended as provided therein or by applicable Law (and, in each case, subject to Section 7.03).

SECTION 3.06 Directors and Officers of the Surviving Company. The directors of Purchaser immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the initial directors of the Surviving Company and the officers of the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the initial officers of the Surviving Company, in each case until their respective successors are duly elected or appointed and qualified or until the earlier of their death, resignation or removal in accordance with the certificate of incorporation and by-laws of the Surviving Company.

SECTION 3.07 Subsequent Actions. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the parties agree to take all necessary action to cause the Merger to become effective as soon as practicable following the Acceptance Time, as provided in Section 251(h) of the DGCL. If, at any time after the Effective Time, the Surviving Company shall consider or be advised that any deeds, bills of sale, assignments, assurances or any other actions or things are necessary or desirable to vest, perfect or confirm of record or otherwise in the Surviving Company, its right, title or interest in, to or under any of the rights, properties or assets of either of the Company or Purchaser vested in or to be vested in the Surviving Company as a result of, or in connection with, the Merger or otherwise to carry out this Agreement, then the officers and directors of the Surviving Company shall be authorized to execute and deliver, in the name and on behalf of either the Company or Purchaser, all such deeds, bills of sale, assignments and assurances and to take and do, in the name and on behalf of each such corporation or otherwise, all such other actions and things as may be necessary or desirable to vest, perfect or confirm any and all right, title and interest in, to and under such rights, properties or assets in the Surviving Company or otherwise to carry out this Agreement.

SECTION 3.08 Conversion of Securities. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Purchaser, the Company or the holders of any of the following securities:

(a) Conversion of Shares. Each Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, other than any Excluded Shares and any Dissenting Shares, shall be cancelled and shall be converted automatically into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to the Offer Price, without interest (the “Merger Consideration”).

(b) Treatment of Treasury Shares and Parent-Owned Shares. Each Share held in the treasury of the Company or owned by any direct or indirect wholly-owned Company Subsidiary and each Share owned by Purchaser, Parent or any direct or indirect wholly-owned Subsidiary of Parent immediately prior to the Effective Time shall automatically be cancelled without any conversion thereof and no payment or distribution shall be made with respect thereto (other than any Share owned by any direct or indirect wholly-owned Company Subsidiary, which shall automatically be converted into such number of shares of common stock of the Surviving Company so as to maintain the same relative ownership percentage).

(c) Shares of Purchaser. Each share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Purchaser issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and become one validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Surviving Company.

SECTION 3.09 Exchange of Certificates.

(a) Paying Agent. Prior to the Acceptance Time, Parent shall (i) appoint a bank or trust company approved (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) in advance by the Company to act as agent (the “Paying Agent”) for the purpose of effecting payments (A) to the holders of Shares entitled to receive the Offer Price pursuant to Section 2.01(a) and (B) to the holders of Shares entitled to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 3.08(a), and (ii) enter into a paying agent agreement, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Company, with such Paying Agent for the payment of the Offer Price and Merger Consideration in accordance with this Agreement. Promptly following the Acceptance Time, Parent shall deposit, or shall cause to be deposited, with the Paying Agent, for the benefit of the holders of Shares validly tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to the Offer, cash in an amount sufficient to pay the aggregate Offer Price required to be paid pursuant to Section 2.01(e). On or prior to the Closing Date, Parent shall deposit, or shall cause to be deposited, with the Paying Agent, for the benefit of the holders of Shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, cash in an amount sufficient to pay the aggregate Merger Consideration required to be paid pursuant to Section 3.08(a) (such cash, together with the amount deposited pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, being hereinafter referred to as the “Payment Fund”). The Payment Fund shall not be used for any other purpose. The Payment Fund shall be invested by the Paying Agent as directed by Parent; provided, however, that such investments shall be in obligations of or guaranteed by the United States of America or any agency or instrumentality thereof and backed by the full faith and credit of 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 banker’s acceptances of commercial banks with capital exceeding $10 billion (based on the most recent financial statements of such bank which are then publicly available), or a combination of the foregoing. Any net profit resulting from, or interest or income produced by, such investments shall be payable to or at the direction of the Surviving Company. To the extent that there are losses with respect to such investments, or the Payment Fund diminishes for other reasons below the level required to make prompt payments of the Merger Consideration as contemplated hereby, Parent shall promptly replace or restore the portion of the Payment Fund lost through investments or other events so as to ensure that the Payment Fund is, at all times, maintained at a level sufficient to make such payments.

(b) Exchange Procedures. Promptly after the Effective Time (and in no event later than two (2) Business Days thereafter), Parent shall cause to be mailed to each person who was, at the Effective Time, a holder of record of Shares entitled to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 3.08(a): (i) a letter of transmittal (which shall be in customary form and shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Shares shall pass, only upon proper delivery of the Shares to the Paying Agent) and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the certificates evidencing such Shares (each, a “Certificate” and, together, the “Certificates”) or the non-certificated Shares represented by book-entry (“Book-Entry Shares”) in exchange for the Merger Consideration. Upon surrender of Certificates (or effective affidavits of loss in lieu thereof pursuant to Section 3.09(e)) to the Paying Agent for cancellation, together with such letter of transmittal, duly completed and validly executed in

accordance with the instructions thereto (and such other documents as may customarily be required by the Paying Agent), the holder of such Shares shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor the Merger Consideration which such holder has the right to receive pursuant to Section 3.08(a), and the Certificates so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled. In the event of a transfer of ownership of Shares that is not registered in the transfer records of the Company, payment of the Merger Consideration may be made to a person other than the person in whose name the Certificate or Book-Entry Share so surrendered is registered if the Certificate or Book-Entry Share representing such Shares shall be presented to the Paying Agent, accompanied by all documents required to evidence and effect such transfer or otherwise be in proper form for transfer, and the person requesting such payment shall pay any transfer or other taxes required solely by reason of the payment of the Merger Consideration to a person other than the registered holder of such Certificate or Book-Entry Share or establish to the reasonable satisfaction of Parent that such tax has been paid or is not applicable. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 3.09, each Certificate or Book-Entry Share shall be deemed at all times after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive upon such surrender the Merger Consideration to which the holder of such Certificate or Book-Entry Share is entitled pursuant to this Article III. No interest shall be paid or will accrue on any cash payable to holders of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares pursuant to the provisions of this Article III. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3.09(b), any holder of Book-Entry Shares shall not be required to deliver a Certificate or an executed letter of transmittal to the Paying Agent to receive the Merger Consideration that such holder is entitled to receive pursuant to this Article III. In lieu thereof, each registered holder of one or more Book-Entry Shares shall upon receipt by the Paying Agent of an “agent’s” message in customary form (or such other evidence, if any, as the Paying Agent may reasonably require) be entitled to receive, and the Surviving Company shall cause the Paying Agent to pay and deliver as soon as reasonably practicable after receipt of such agent’s message (or such other evidence, if any, as the Paying Agent may reasonably require), the Merger Consideration for each Book-Entry Share.

(c) No Further Rights. From and after the Effective Time, holders of Shares shall cease to have any rights as stockholders of the Company, except as provided herein or by Law.

(d) Termination of Payment Fund. Any portion of the Payment Fund that remains undistributed to the holders of Shares twelve (12) months after the Effective Time shall be delivered to the Surviving Company, upon demand, and any holders of Shares who have not theretofore complied with this Article III shall thereafter look only to Parent or the Surviving Company for, and Parent and the Surviving Company shall remain liable for, payment of their claim for the Merger Consideration. Any portion of the Payment Fund remaining unclaimed by holders of Shares as of a date which is immediately prior to such time as such amounts would otherwise escheat to or become property of any Governmental Authority shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, become the property of Parent free and clear of any claims or interest of any person previously entitled thereto. Neither Parent nor the Surviving Company shall be liable to any person in respect of any Merger Consideration delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law.

(e) Lost Certificates. If any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, then upon (i) the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed, and (ii) if required by the Surviving Company, an

indemnity bond in form and substance and with surety reasonably satisfactory to the Surviving Company, the Paying Agent shall pay in respect of such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate the Merger Consideration to which the holder thereof is entitled pursuant to Section 3.08(a).

SECTION 3.10 Stock Transfer Books. At the close of business on the day of the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed and thereafter there shall be no further registration of transfers of Shares on the records of the Company. From and after the Effective Time, the holders of Shares outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall cease to have any rights with respect to such Shares, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or by Law. On or after the Effective Time, any Certificates or Book-Entry Shares presented to the Paying Agent or Parent for any reason shall be cancelled against delivery of the Merger Consideration to which the holders thereof are entitled pursuant to Section 3.08(a).

SECTION 3.11 Company Stock Options, Restricted Shares, Performance Shares and Restricted Stock Units.

(a) At the Effective Time,

(i) each outstanding option (each, a “Company Stock Option”) to purchase Shares granted under the Company Stock Plans that is outstanding and unexercised as of the Effective Time and has an exercise price per Share subject to the Company Stock Option equal to or greater than the Merger Consideration (each, an “Underwater Stock Option”) shall be cancelled as of the Effective Time for no consideration.

(ii) (A) each holder of a Company Stock Option that is outstanding, vested and exercisable as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (or that vests upon the Effective Time in accordance with its terms) (collectively, the “Vested Company Stock Options”), and has an exercise price per Share that is less than the Merger Consideration, shall be paid by the Surviving Company immediately after the Effective Time (and in no event later than five (5) calendar days following the Effective Time), in exchange for the cancellation of such Vested Company Stock Option, an amount in cash, without interest, equal to the product of (x) the amount by which the Merger Consideration exceeds the applicable exercise price per Share of such Company Stock Option (the “Stock Option Merger Consideration”), and (y) the aggregate number of Shares issuable upon exercise of such Company Stock Option, and (B) each Company Stock Option that is not a Vested Company Stock Option nor an Underwater Stock Option (collectively, the “Unvested Company Stock Options”), shall be converted into the right of the holder to receive, on the first payroll date following each applicable vesting date, an amount in cash, without interest, equal to the product of (x) the Stock Option Merger Consideration and (y) the aggregate number of Shares subject to the Unvested Company Stock Option that would have vested on the applicable vesting date (collectively, the “Stock Option Restricted Cash”). The holders shall have no rights under the Company Stock Option agreement following such conversion. The Stock Option Restricted Cash shall have the same vesting schedule and acceleration provisions as the Company Stock Option and, to the extent applicable, will be subject to all of the terms and conditions of the Company Stock Plan, grant agreements and any other agreements governing Company Stock Options as in effect on the date hereof. All such payments set forth in this Section 3.11(a)(ii) shall be subject to all applicable Tax withholding requirements.

(b) At the Effective Time, (i) each Share subject to time-based restrictions (each, a “Restricted Share”) granted under the Company Stock Plans and outstanding and vested

as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (or that vests upon the Effective Time in accordance with its terms) (collectively, the “Vested Restricted Shares”), shall be cancelled in exchange for the right of the holder to receive, immediately after the Effective Time (and in no event later than five (5) calendar days following the Effective Time), an amount in cash, without interest, equal to the product of (A) the Merger Consideration and (B) the aggregate number of Vested Restricted Shares and (ii) each Restricted Share that is not a Vested Restricted Share (collectively, the “Unvested Restricted Shares”), shall be converted into the right of the holder to receive, on the first payroll date following each applicable vesting date, an amount in cash, without interest, equal to the product of (A) the Merger Consideration and (B) the aggregate number of Unvested Restricted Shares that would have vested on the applicable vesting date (collectively, the “Restricted Share Restricted Cash”). The holders shall have no rights under the Restricted Share agreement following such conversion. The Restricted Share Restricted Cash shall have the same vesting schedule and acceleration provisions as the Restricted Shares and will, to the extent applicable, be subject to all of the terms and conditions of the Company Stock Plan, grant agreements and any other agreements governing the Restricted Shares as in effect on the date hereof. All such payments set forth in this Section 3.11(b) shall be payable by the Surviving Company and subject to all applicable Tax withholding requirements.

(c) At the Effective Time, (i) each Share subject to performance-based restrictions (each, a “Performance Share”) granted under the Company Stock Plans and outstanding and vested as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (or that vests upon the Effective Time in accordance with its terms) (collectively, the “Vested Performance Shares”), shall be cancelled in exchange for the right of the holder to receive, immediately after the Effective Time (and in no event later than five (5) calendar days following the Effective Time), an amount in cash, without interest, equal to the product of (A) the Merger Consideration and (B) the aggregate number of Vested Performance Shares, assuming maximum performance of performance criteria and (ii) each Performance Share that is not a Vested Performance Share (collectively, the “Unvested Performance Shares”), shall be converted into the right of the holder to receive, on the first payroll date following each applicable vesting date, an amount in cash, without interest, equal to the product of (A) the Merger Consideration and (B) the aggregate number of Unvested Performance Shares that would have vested on the applicable vesting date, assuming maximum performance of performance criteria (collectively, the “Performance Share Restricted Cash”). The holders shall have no rights under the Performance Share agreement following such conversion. The Performance Share Restricted Cash shall have the same vesting schedule and acceleration provisions as the Performance Shares (provided that the performance vesting criteria will no longer apply to the Performance Share Restricted Cash) and will, to the extent applicable, be subject to all of the terms and conditions of the Company Stock Plan, grant agreements and any other agreements governing the Performance Shares as in effect on the date hereof.

The holders shall have no rights under the Restricted Stock Unit agreement following such conversion. The Restricted Stock Unit Restricted Cash shall have the same vesting schedule and acceleration provisions as the Restricted Stock Units and will, to the extent applicable, be subject to all of the terms and conditions of the Company Stock Plan, grant agreements and any other agreements governing the Restricted Stock Units as in effect on the date hereof. All such payments set forth in this Section 3.11(d) shall be payable by the Surviving Company and be subject to all applicable Tax withholding requirements.

(e) Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall take all steps reasonably necessary to cause the Transactions and any other dispositions of Shares or other equity securities of the Company (including derivative securities) in connection with this Agreement by each person who is a director or officer of the Company to be exempt under Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act, as amended. At the Effective Time, the Company shall take all actions necessary to terminate the Company Stock Plans and to resolve to treat the outstanding awards in accordance with this Section 3.11. All actions taken under this Section 3.11 shall be done in compliance with Section 409A of the Code, to the extent necessary.

SECTION 3.12 Certain Adjustments. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time the outstanding Shares shall have been changed into a different number of shares or a different class, by reason of any stock dividend, subdivision, reclassification, recapitalization, split, combination, consolidation or exchange of shares, or any similar event shall have occurred, then the Offer Price, the Merger Consideration and any other amounts payable pursuant to this Agreement shall be appropriately adjusted to provide the holders of Shares the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such event.

SECTION 3.13 Dissenting Shares. (a) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, Shares that are outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and that are held by stockholders who are entitled to demand and who shall have demanded properly in writing appraisal for such Shares in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL (collectively, the “Dissenting Shares”) shall not be converted into, or represent the right to receive, the Merger Consideration, unless such holder fails to perfect, withdraws or otherwise loses the right to appraisal. Such stockholders shall be entitled only to such rights granted to them under the DGCL, except that all Dissenting Shares held by stockholders who shall have failed to perfect or who effectively shall have withdrawn or lost their rights to appraisal of such Shares under such Section 262 shall thereupon be deemed to have been converted into, and to have become exchangeable for, as of the Effective Time, the right to receive the Merger Consideration, without any interest thereon, upon surrender, in the manner provided in Section 3.09, of the Certificates or Book-Entry Shares that formerly evidenced such Shares.

(b) The Company shall give Parent (i) prompt notice and copies of any demands for appraisal received by the Company, withdrawals of such demands, and any other instruments served pursuant to the DGCL and received by the Company and (ii) the opportunity to direct and control all negotiations and proceedings with respect to demands for appraisal under the DGCL; provided that until the Effective Time, Parent shall consult with the Company with respect thereto. The Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of Parent, make any payment with respect to any demands for appraisal or offer to settle or settle any such demands.

SECTION 3.14 Withholding Rights. Each of the Paying Agent, the Surviving Company, Purchaser and Parent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder of Shares, Company Stock Options, Restricted Shares, Performance Shares or Restricted Stock Units such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to such payment under all applicable Tax laws and pay such withholding amount over to the appropriate Governmental Authority. To the extent that amounts are so properly withheld and timely paid over to the appropriate Governmental Authority by the Paying Agent, the Surviving Company, Purchaser or Parent, as the case may be, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of the Shares, Company Stock Options, Restricted Shares, Performance Shares or Restricted Stock Units in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made by the Paying Agent, the Surviving Company, Purchaser or Parent, as the case may be.

(a) Parent and MICRO HOLDING CORP., a Delaware corporation, have received and accepted (i) an executed commitment letter dated July 24, 2017 from the lenders party thereto (collectively, the “Lenders”) pursuant to which the Lenders have committed, subject to the terms and conditions thereof, to provide the debt financing in the amounts set forth therein at or prior to the Closing (the “Debt Financing”) for the purpose of funding the Transactions and the related fees and expenses thereto, together with any fee letters related thereto (with customary redactions for fee amounts, pricing cap and “market flex” related solely to economic terms) (including all exhibits, schedules, and annexes thereto, and the redacted executed fee letters associated therewith, collectively, the “Debt Commitment Letter”) and (ii) an executed equity commitment letter dated July 24, 2017 (the “Equity Commitment Letter” and, together with the Debt Commitment Letter, the “Commitment Letters”) from KKR North America Fund XI L.P. (the “Sponsor”), pursuant to which the Sponsor has agreed, subject to the terms and conditions thereof, to invest in Parent the amount set forth therein (the “Equity Financing”). The Equity Commitment Letter provides that the Company is a third party beneficiary thereof and is entitled to enforce such agreement, in each case, solely to the extent set forth therein. The Debt Financing pursuant to the Debt Commitment Letter and the Equity Financing pursuant to the Equity Commitment Letter are collectively referred to in this Agreement as the “Financing.” Purchaser has delivered to the Company true, complete and correct copies of the executed Commitment Letters and any fee letters related thereto (with any fee letters related to the Debt Financing being subject to customary redactions of fee amounts, pricing caps and “market flex” related solely to economic terms).

(b) Except as expressly set forth in the Commitment Letters, there are no conditions precedent to the obligations of the Lenders and the Sponsor to provide the Financing or any contingencies that would permit the Lenders or the Sponsor to reduce the total amount of the Financing. As of the date hereof, assuming the satisfaction of the Offer Conditions, Parent and Purchaser do not have any reason to believe that any of the conditions to the Financing applicable to them will not be satisfied or that the Financing will not be available to Purchaser on or prior to the Closing Date.

(c) Assuming the satisfaction of the Offer Conditions and the Financing is funded in accordance with the Commitment Letters, Purchaser will have, together with cash on hand of the Company, cash proceeds at the Closing (after netting out applicable fees, expenses, original issue discount and similar premiums and charges under the Commitment Letters and any fee letters related thereto) sufficient for Purchaser and the Surviving Company to pay the aggregate Offer Price and the aggregate Merger Consideration, any prepayment, repayment, refinancing or conversion of debt contemplated by this Agreement, including in respect of the Convertible Securities, amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.11 and any fees and expenses of or payable by Parent or Purchaser in connection with the Transactions and the Financing (such amount collectively, the “Required Amount”).

(d) As of the date of this Agreement, the Commitment Letters are (i) legal, valid and binding obligations of Parent and Purchaser and (in the case of the Debt Commitment Letter, to the knowledge of Parent) of each of the other parties thereto (subject to the effect of any Laws relating to bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance or preferential transfers, or similar Laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally and subject, as to enforceability, to the effect of general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in an Action in equity or at law)) and (ii) in full force and effect. As of the date hereof, assuming the accuracy of the Company’s representations and warranties in Article IV, in all material respects, no event has occurred that, with or without notice, lapse of time, or both, would reasonably be expected to (i) constitute a default or breach or a failure to satisfy a condition precedent on the part of Parent or Purchaser under the terms and conditions of the Commitment Letters or (ii) to the knowledge of Parent and Purchaser, result in any portion of the Financing being unavailable on the Closing Date. As of the date of this Agreement, assuming the accuracy of the Company’s representations and warranties in Article IV, in all material respects, Parent is not aware of any fact or occurrence that makes any of the representations or warranties of Parent or Purchaser, in any of the Commitment Letters inaccurate in any material respect. Parent or Purchaser has paid in full any and all commitment fees or other fees required to be paid pursuant to the terms of the Commitment Letters on or before the date of this Agreement, and will pay in full any such amounts due at or prior to the Acceptance Time and on or prior to the Closing Date. As of the date of this Agreement, none of the Commitment Letters have been modified, amended or altered, and none of the commitments under any of the Commitment Letters have been withdrawn, terminated, amended, modified or rescinded in any respect. As of the date of this Agreement, there are no side letters or other agreements, Contracts or arrangements to which Parent, Purchaser or any of their respective Affiliates is a party related to the funding or investing, as applicable, of the full amount of the Financing that could affect the availability of the Financing in an amount required to pay the Required Amount.

(e) The Merger constitutes a “Permitted Acquisition”, a “Permitted Investment” and a “Limited Condition Acquisition” under and as defined in each of the Existing Credit Agreements. As of the date hereof the Existing Borrowers have made an “LCA Election” (pursuant to and as defined under each of the Existing Credit Agreements) with respect to the Merger and have taken all action necessary to designate the Transactions as a “Limited Condition Acquisition” (under and as defined under each of the Existing Credit Agreements), and from and after the date hereof the Existing Borrowers will not take any action to alter or rescind such LCA Election or such designation. No consent, waiver, amendment or other modification to either of the Existing Credit Agreements or to any of the other “Credit Documents” (as defined in each of the Existing Credit Agreements) is necessary in connection with the Merger or the consummation thereof (including, without limitation, the funding of the Financing contemplated by the Commitment Letters) or the incurrence and implementation of the Incremental Facilities (as defined in the Debt Commitment Letters), the commitments in respect thereof and the funding thereof on the Closing Date, other than (x) amendments to each of the Existing Credit Agreements necessary to implement the “Incremental Facilities” (as defined in the Debt Commitment Letter) (the “Incremental Implementing Amendments”), which Incremental Implementing Amendments will not require the consent of any person other than the

Lenders party to the Debt Commitment Letter and the Existing Borrowers and (y) the conditions precedent to the funding of the Debt Financing expressly set forth in the Debt Commitment Letter. The Existing Credit Agreements are (i) the legal valid and binding obligations of the Parents and the Borrowers and (to the best of Purchaser and Parent’s knowledge) of each of the other parties thereto and (ii) in full force and effect. The Existing Borrowers are in compliance with all conditions necessary under the Existing Credit Agreements for consummation of the Transactions (including the incurrence of the full amount of the Debt Financing), including, for the avoidance of doubt, compliance with all applicable ratios, incurrence tests, baskets and other similar requirements. As of the date hereof, no event has occurred that, with or without notice, lapse or time or both, would reasonably be expected to constitute a default or breach under the Existing Credit Agreements or any of the other Credit Documents (as defined in each of the Existing Credit Agreements).

(f) In no event shall the receipt or availability of any funds or financing (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Financing) by Parent, Purchaser or any Affiliate or any other financing or other transactions be a condition to any of Parent’s or Purchaser’s obligations hereunder.

SECTION 5.09 Solvency. On the Closing Date, immediately after giving effect to the consummation of the Transactions (including the payment of the aggregate Offer Price and Merger Consideration, any other payments in respect of prepayment, repayment, refinancing or conversion of debt contemplated by this Agreement (including in respect of the Convertible Securities), the Financing and payment of all related fees and expenses) and assuming (a) the satisfaction of the Offer Conditions, (b) the accuracy in all material respects of the representations and warranties contained in Article IV (for such purposes, without giving effect to any “Knowledge” or “Material Adverse Effect” qualifications or exceptions therein), and (c) the estimates, projections or forecasts provided by or on behalf of the Company or the Company Subsidiaries to Parent or Purchaser prior to the date hereof have been prepared in good faith on assumptions that were, and continue to be, reasonable, at and immediately after the Closing and (d) immediately prior to the Effective Time the Company is Solvent, the Surviving Company will be Solvent as of immediately after the Effective Time. For purposes of this Agreement, “Solvent” means that, with respect to any person, as of any date of determination, (a) the amount by which the “fair saleable value” of the assets of such person will, as of such date, exceed the sum of (i) the value of all “liabilities of such person including contingent and other liabilities,” as of such date, as such quoted terms are generally determined in accordance with applicable Laws governing determination of the insolvency of debtors, and (ii) the amount that will be required to pay the probable liabilities of such person, as of such date, on its existing debts (including contingent and other liabilities) as such debts become absolute and mature, (b) such person will not have, as of such date, an unreasonably small amount of capital for the operation of the businesses in which it is engaged or proposed to be engaged following such date and (c) such person will be able to pay its liabilities, as of such date, including contingent and other liabilities, as they mature.

SECTION 5.10 Guarantee. Concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, Parent and Purchaser have delivered to the Company the guarantee addressed to the Company from the Sponsor, guaranteeing certain obligations of Parent and Purchaser under this Agreement on the terms set forth therein (the “Guarantee”). As of the date hereof, the Guarantee is valid and in full force and effect and constitutes the valid and binding obligation of the Sponsor, enforceable in accordance with its terms. As of the date hereof, no event has occurred which, with or without notice, lapse of time or both, would constitute a default on the part of the Sponsor under the Guarantee.

SECTION 5.11 Offer Documents. Neither the Offer Documents nor any information supplied by Parent or Purchaser for inclusion or incorporation by reference in Schedule 14D-9 shall, at the time the Offer Documents (or any amendments or supplements thereto) are filed with the SEC or are first published, sent or given to stockholders of the Company, as the case may be, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Parent and Purchaser make no representation or warranty with respect to any information supplied by the Company or any of its representatives for inclusion in any of the foregoing documents or the Offer Documents. The Offer Documents (including any amendments or supplements thereto) shall comply in all material respects as to form with the requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder.

SECTION 5.12 Brokers. The Company will not be responsible prior to the Effective Time for any brokerage, finder’s or other fee or commission to any broker, finder or investment banker in connection with the Transactions based upon arrangements made by or on behalf of Parent or Purchaser.

(e) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, prior to the Acceptance Time, the Company Board may (1) effect an Adverse Recommendation Change or cause the Company to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.01(d)(ii) and enter into an Alternative Acquisition Agreement if the Company receives an unsolicited written Acquisition Proposal not resulting from a breach of this Section 7.02 that the Company Board determines in good faith (after consultation with its outside legal and financial advisors) is a Superior Proposal and determines in good faith (after consultation with its outside legal counsel) that its failure to take such actions would be reasonably expected to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law or (2) effect an Adverse Recommendation Change if an Intervening Event occurs and as a result thereof the Company Board determines in good faith (after consultation with its outside legal counsel) that the failure to effect an Adverse Recommendation Change would be reasonably expected to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law; provided that:

(i) prior to effecting an Adverse Recommendation Change with respect to a Superior Proposal or authorizing a termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.01(d)(ii), (A) the Company has notified Parent in writing that it intends to effect an Adverse Recommendation Change, (B) the Company has provided Parent a

summary of the material terms and conditions of such Superior Proposal (including the consideration offered therein and the identity of the person or group of persons making the Superior Proposal) and unredacted copies of the Alternative Acquisition Agreement and all other documents related to the Superior Proposal, (C) if requested to do so by Parent, for a period of four (4) Business Days following delivery of such notice, the Company shall have discussed and negotiated in good faith, and shall have made its Representatives available to discuss and negotiate in good faith, with Parent’s Representatives, any bona fide proposed modifications to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and (D) no earlier than the end of such four (4) Business Day period, the Company Board shall have concluded, after considering the terms of any proposed amendment or modification to this Agreement proposed by Parent during such four (4) Business Day period and in consultation with its outside legal and financial advisors, that such Superior Proposal still constitutes a Superior Proposal (it being understood and agreed that any change to the financial or other material terms of a proposal that was previously the subject of a notice hereunder shall require a new notice to Parent as provided above, but with respect to any such subsequent notice references herein to a “four (4) Business Day period” shall be deemed references to a “three (3) Business Day period”); and

(ii) prior to effecting an Adverse Recommendation Change with respect to an Intervening Event, (A) the Company has notified Parent in writing that it intends to effect an Adverse Recommendation Change, describing in reasonable detail the reasons for such Adverse Recommendation Change, (B) if requested to do so by Parent, for a period of four (4) Business Days following delivery of such notice, the Company shall have discussed and negotiated in good faith, and shall have made its Representatives available to discuss and negotiate in good faith, with Parent’s Representatives any bona fide proposed modifications to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and (C) no earlier than the end of such four (4) Business Day period, the Company Board shall have determined in good faith, after considering the terms of any proposed amendment or modification to this Agreement proposed by Parent during such four (4) Business Day period, that the failure to effect an Adverse Recommendation Change would still be reasonably expected to be inconsistent with the Company Board’s fiduciary duties under applicable Law.

(f) Nothing contained in this Agreement shall prevent the Company or the Company Board from (i) issuing a “stop, look and listen” communication pursuant to Rule 14d-9(f), making a statement contemplated by Item 1012(a) of Regulation M-A under the Exchange Act or otherwise complying with Rule 14d-9 and Rule 14e-2 under the Exchange Act with respect to an Acquisition Proposal or (ii) making any disclosure to the Company’s stockholders if the Company Board determines (after consultation with its outside legal counsel) that its failure to do so would be reasonably expected to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law; provided that any Adverse Recommendation Change may only be made in accordance with Section 7.02(e). For the avoidance of doubt, a factually accurate public statement that describes the Company’s receipt of an Acquisition Proposal and the operation of this Agreement with respect thereto shall not be deemed an Adverse Recommendation Change; provided that the Company Board expressly publicly reaffirms the Company Board Recommendation in such disclosure (other than a customary “stop-look-and-listen” communication to the stockholders of the Company pursuant to Rule 14d-9(f) under the Exchange Act) if required pursuant to Section 7.02(d).

(g) Except as set forth in Section 9.03(d) with respect to an Acquisition Proposal, for purposes of this Agreement:

(i) “Acquisition Proposal” means any inquiry, proposal or offer (including any proposal from or to the Company’s stockholders) from any person or group other than Parent or Purchaser relating to, in a single transaction or series of related transactions, (1) any direct or indirect acquisition of (A) more than 20% of the assets of the Company and its consolidated Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or (B) more than 20% of any class of equity securities or voting power of the Company; (2) any tender offer or exchange offer, as defined pursuant to the Exchange Act, that if consummated would result in any person beneficially owning 20% or more of any class of equity securities or voting power of the Company; or (3) any merger, consolidation, business combination, recapitalization, liquidation, dissolution or other similar transaction involving the Company.

(ii) “Intervening Event” means any positive material event, circumstance, change, effect, development or condition (other than an Acquisition Proposal or Superior Proposal) occurring or arising after the date of this Agreement that was not known by the Company Board as of the date of this Agreement (or, if known, the magnitude or consequences of which were not known or reasonably foreseeable by the Company Board as of the date of this Agreement).

(iii) “Superior Proposal” means any bona fide written Acquisition Proposal that (1) relates to more than 50% of the outstanding Shares, voting power or assets of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries taken as a whole, and (2) the Company Board determines in good faith (after receiving the advice of its financial advisor and outside legal counsel and after taking into account all the terms and conditions of the Acquisition Proposal and the legal, financial (including financing terms), regulatory, timing and other aspects of such Acquisition Proposal (x) is reasonably capable of being consummated in accordance with its terms and (y) if consummated would result in a transaction) more favorable to the Company’s stockholders, from a financial point of view, than the Transactions (taking into account any proposed amendment or modification proposed by Parent pursuant to Section 7.02(e)(i)).

SECTION 7.03 Directors’ and Officers’ Indemnification and Insurance. (a) From and after the Effective Time, the Surviving Company and its Subsidiaries shall, and Parent shall cause the Surviving Company to, to the fullest extent permitted under the DGCL, honor and fulfill in all respects the obligations of the Company and its Subsidiaries under any and all indemnification agreements between the Company or any Company Subsidiary and any of their respective present or former directors and officers (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”). In addition, the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Surviving Company shall contain provisions no less favorable with respect to exculpation and indemnification than are set forth in the Company Charter or the Company By-laws, which provisions shall not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified for a period of six years from the Effective Time in any manner that would affect adversely the rights thereunder of individuals who, at or prior to the Effective Time, were directors, officers, employees, fiduciaries or agents of the Company or any Company Subsidiary.

(b) For a period of six (6) years after the Effective Time, the Surviving Company shall, and Parent shall cause the Surviving Company to, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law, indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnified Party against all costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages, liabilities and settlement amounts paid in connection with any Action (whether arising before or after the Effective Time), whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, arising out of or relating to any action or omission in their capacity as an officer, director, employee, fiduciary or agent of the Company or its Subsidiaries, whether occurring on or before the Effective Time. To the fullest extent permitted by Law, the Surviving Company shall, and Parent shall cause the Surviving Company to, pay all expenses of each Indemnified Party in advance of the final disposition of any such Action, subject to receipt of an undertaking to repay such advances if it is ultimately determined in accordance with applicable Law that such Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification. In the event of any such Action, (i) the Surviving Company shall have the right to control the defense thereof and the Indemnified Parties shall cooperate with the Surviving Company in such defense, (ii) the Surviving Company shall, and Parent shall cause the Surviving Company to, pay the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel selected by the Indemnified Parties, which counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Surviving Company, promptly after statements therefor are received, (iii) neither Parent nor the Surviving Company shall settle, compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any pending or threatened Action to which an Indemnified Party is a party (and in respect of which indemnification could be sought by such Indemnified Party hereunder), unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such Action or such Indemnified Party otherwise consents, and (iv) Parent and the Surviving Company shall cooperate in the defense of any such matter if the Surviving Company elects not to assume the defense thereof; provided, however, that no Indemnified Party shall effect any settlement, and neither Parent nor the Surviving Company nor any of their Affiliates shall be liable for any settlement effected, without the Surviving Company’s written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); and provided further that, in the event that any claim for indemnification is asserted or made within such six-year period, all rights to indemnification in respect of such claim shall continue until the disposition of such claim. The rights of each Indemnified Party under this Section 7.03(b) shall be in addition to any rights such person may have under the certificate of incorporation or bylaws (or similar organizational documents) of the Company and the Surviving Company or any of their Subsidiaries, or under any Law or under any agreement of any Indemnified Party with the Company or any Company Subsidiary.

(c) The Surviving Company shall either (i) cause to be obtained at the Effective Time “tail” insurance policies with a claims period of at least six (6) years from the Effective Time with respect to directors’ and officers’ liability insurance in amount and scope at least as favorable as the Company’s existing policies for claims arising from facts or events that occurred on or prior to the Effective Time; or (ii) maintain in effect for six (6) years from the Effective Time, if available, the current directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies maintained by the Company; provided that the Surviving Company may substitute therefor policies of at least the same coverage containing terms and conditions that are not less favorable)

with respect to matters occurring prior to the Effective Time; provided, however, that in no event shall the Surviving Company be required to expend pursuant to this Section 7.03(c) more than an amount per year equal to 300% of current annual premiums paid by the Company for such insurance, which amounts are set forth on Section 7.03(c) of the Company Disclosure Schedule; provided further that in the event of an expiration, termination or cancellation of such current policies, the Surviving Company shall be required to obtain as much coverage as is possible under substantially similar policies for amounts not to exceed such maximum annual amount in aggregate annual premiums.

(d) In the event Parent or the Surviving Company or any of their respective successors or assigns (i) consolidates or amalgamates with or merges into any other person and shall not be the continuing or surviving company or entity of such consolidation, amalgamation or merger, or (ii) transfers all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any person, then, and in each such case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Parent or the Surviving Company, as the case may be, shall succeed to the obligations set forth in this Section 7.03.

(e) Parent shall cause the Surviving Company to perform all of the obligations of the Surviving Company under this Section 7.03.

SECTION 7.04 Employee Benefits Matters. (a) Parent hereby agrees that, for a period of one (1) year immediately following the Effective Time, it shall, or it shall cause the Surviving Company and its Subsidiaries to (i) provide each employee of the Company and of each of the Company Subsidiaries as of the Effective Time (each, an “Employee”) with at least the same level of base salary and wages and cash incentive compensation opportunities that, in the aggregate, was provided to each such Employee immediately prior to the Effective Time, and (ii) provide the Employees and their covered dependents with employee benefits that are substantially similar in the aggregate than those provided to such Employees immediately prior to the Effective Time. From and after the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Surviving Company and its Subsidiaries to honor in accordance with their terms, all contracts, agreements, arrangements, policies, plans and commitments of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time that are applicable to any current or former employees or directors of the Company or any Company Subsidiary.

(b) Except to the extent necessary to avoid the duplication of benefits, Employees shall receive credit for all purposes (including, for purposes of eligibility to participate, vesting, benefit accrual and eligibility to receive benefits, but excluding benefit accruals under any defined benefit pension plan) under any employee benefit plan, program or arrangement established or maintained by Parent, the Surviving Company or any of their respective Subsidiaries under which each Employee may be eligible to participate on or after the Effective Time to the same extent recognized by the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries under comparable Plans immediately prior to the Effective Time. Such plan, program or arrangement shall credit each such Employee for service accrued or deemed accrued on or prior to the Effective Time with the Company, any Company Subsidiary and all Affiliates where service with the Affiliate was credited under a comparable Plan of the Company prior to the Effective Time.

(c) With respect to the welfare benefit plans, programs and arrangements maintained, sponsored or contributed to by Parent or the Surviving Company (“Purchaser Welfare Benefit Plans”) in which an Employee may be eligible to participate on or after the Effective Time, except to the extent necessary to avoid the duplication of benefits, Parent and the Surviving Company shall (i) waive, or cause the insurance carrier to waive, all limitations as to preexisting and at-work conditions, if any, with respect to participation and coverage requirements applicable to each Employee and any covered dependent under any Purchaser Welfare Benefit Plan to the same extent waived under a comparable Plan, and (ii) provide credit to each Employee and any covered dependent for any co-payments, deductibles and out-of-pocket expenses paid by such Employee or covered dependent under the Plans during the relevant plan year, up to and including the Effective Time.

(d) The provisions contained in this Section 7.04 are included for the sole benefit of the parties hereto, and nothing in this Section 7.04, whether express or implied, shall create any third party beneficiary or other rights in any other person, including, without limitation, any employees, former employees, any participant in any Plan or other benefit plan or arrangement, or any dependent or beneficiary thereof, or any right to continued employment with the Company, the Company Subsidiaries, Parent, the Surviving Company or any of their respective Affiliates. Nothing contained herein, whether express or implied, shall be treated as an amendment or other modification of any Plan or other employee benefit plan or arrangement, or shall limit the right of the Company, the Company Subsidiaries, Parent, the Surviving Company or any of their respective Affiliates to amend, terminate or otherwise modify any Plan or other employee benefit plan or arrangement in accordance with its terms.

SECTION 7.05 Further Action. (a) (i) Parent and the Company, as applicable, shall use reasonable best efforts to promptly obtain all authorizations, consents, Orders, approvals, licenses, permits, and waivers of all Governmental Authorities that may be or become necessary for its execution and delivery of, and the performance of its obligations pursuant to, this Agreement and the consummation of the Transactions, (ii) each of Parent and the Company shall (A) cooperate fully with the other party in promptly seeking to obtain all such authorizations, consents, Orders, approvals, licenses, permits and waivers, (B) provide such other information to any Governmental Authority as such Governmental Authority may lawfully request in connection herewith and (iii) Parent and the Company, as applicable, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all necessary consents, approvals or waivers from third parties; provided, however, that neither party shall be obligated to make any payments or otherwise pay any consideration to any third party to obtain any applicable consents, approvals or waivers pursuant to this clause (iii). As promptly as reasonably practicable, but in any event no later than ten (10) Business Days, following the date of this Agreement, each party shall make its respective filing, if necessary, pursuant to the HSR Act with respect to the Transactions and shall supply as promptly as reasonably practicable thereafter to the appropriate Governmental Authorities any additional information and documentary material that may be requested pursuant to the HSR Act. Each party hereto agrees to, and shall cause its respective Affiliates to, make as promptly as practicable (and in any event within ten (10) Business Days) after the date of this Agreement its respective filings and notifications, if any, required to obtain the Transaction Approvals pursuant to any other Antitrust Law identified on Section 7.05 of the Company Disclosure Schedule, and to supply as promptly as reasonably practicable to the appropriate Governmental Authorities any additional information and material that may be requested pursuant to the applicable Law. Parent will pay all filing fees or make other payments to any Governmental Authority in order to make such filings or obtain any such authorizations, consents, Orders or approvals.

(b) Without limiting the generality of the undertaking of Parent pursuant to Section 7.05(a), Parent shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, use their reasonable best efforts to take any and all steps necessary to avoid or eliminate each and every impediment under any Antitrust Law that may be asserted by any Governmental Authority or any other party so as to enable the parties hereto to consummate the Transactions as promptly as practicable, and in any event prior to the Outside Date, including proposing, negotiating, committing to and effecting, by consent decree, hold separate orders, or otherwise, the sale, divestiture, license or other disposition of such of its and their assets, properties or businesses or of the assets, properties or businesses to be acquired by Parent pursuant hereto, and entering into such other arrangements, as are necessary or advisable in order to avoid the entry of, and the commencement of litigation seeking the entry of, or to effect the dissolution of, any injunction, temporary restraining order or other Order in any suit or proceeding that would otherwise have the effect of materially delaying or preventing the consummation of the Transactions. In addition, Parent shall bring or defend 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 Order (whether temporary, preliminary or permanent) that would prevent the Closing prior to the Outside Date; provided, however, that such obligation to litigate in no way limits the obligation of Parent to use, and cause each of its Subsidiaries to use, its and their reasonable best efforts, and to take any and all steps necessary to eliminate each and every impediment under any Antitrust Law to consummate the Transactions prior to the Outside Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, nothing in this Section 7.05 or elsewhere in this Agreement shall require Parent to take or agree to take any action with respect to any of its Affiliates (other than its Subsidiaries, the Company and its Subsidiaries), including selling, divesting, conveying, holding separate, or otherwise limiting its freedom of action with respect to any assets, rights, products, licenses, businesses, operations, or interest therein, of any such Affiliates (the Company and its Subsidiaries) or any direct or indirect portfolio companies (as such term is understood in the private equity industry) of investment funds advised or managed by one or more Affiliates of Parent.

(c) Each party shall keep the other parties reasonably apprised of the content and status of any communications with, and communications from, any Governmental Authority with respect to the Transactions, including promptly notifying the other parties hereto of any substantive communication it or any of its Affiliates receives from any Governmental Authority relating to any review or investigation of the Transactions under the HSR Act or any other applicable Antitrust Laws and shall permit the other parties to review in advance (and to consider in good faith any comments made by the other party in relation to) any proposed substantive communication by such party to any Governmental Authority relating to such matters. None of the parties to this Agreement shall agree to participate in any substantive meeting, telephone call or discussion with any Governmental Authority in respect of any submissions, filings, investigation (including any settlement of the investigation), litigation or other inquiry relating to the matters that are the subject of this Agreement unless it consults with the other parties in advance and, to the extent permitted by such Governmental Authority, gives the other parties the opportunity to attend and participate at such substantive meeting, telephone call or discussion. The parties to this Agreement will coordinate and cooperate fully with each other in exchanging such information and providing such assistance as the other party may reasonably request in

connection with the foregoing and in seeking early termination of any applicable waiting periods, including under the HSR Act. The parties to this Agreement shall provide each other with copies of all correspondence, filings or communications between them or any of their representatives, on the one hand, and any Governmental Authority or members of its staff, on the other hand, with respect to this Agreement and the Transactions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Parent or Company may, as it deems advisable and necessary, reasonably designate any competitively sensitive material provided to the Company or Parent, as applicable, under this Section 7.05(c) as “outside counsel only;” provided, however, that materials may be redacted (i) to remove references concerning the valuation of the Company, (ii) as necessary to comply with contractual arrangements and (iii) as necessary to address reasonable attorney-client or other privilege or confidentiality concerns.

(d) None of (i) Parent, Purchaser, the Parents (as defined in each of the Existing Credit Agreements as in effect on the date hereof) or any of their controlled Affiliates shall enter into any agreement, transaction or any agreement to effect any transaction (including any merger or acquisition) that might reasonably be expected to make it more difficult, or to increase the time required, to: (x) obtain the expiration or termination of the waiting period under the HSR Act, or the authorizations, consents, Orders and approvals required under any other applicable Antitrust Law, applicable to the Transactions, (y) avoid the entry of, the commencement of litigation seeking the entry of, or to effect the dissolution of, any injunction, temporary restraining order or other Order that would materially delay or prevent the consummation of the Transactions, or (z) obtain all authorizations, consents, Orders and approvals of Governmental Authorities necessary for the consummation of the Transactions; and (ii) except as contemplated by the Transactions (as defined in the Debt Commitment Letter) as in effect on the date hereof) and hereby, none of Purchaser, Parent, the Parents (as defined in each of the Existing Credit Agreements as in effect on the date hereof), the Existing Borrowers or any of their controlled Affiliates will merge or amalgamate with, consolidate with, acquire all or substantially all of the assets or stock or equity interests of, or otherwise combine, merge or amalgamate with or acquire, any person or any operating division of any person, if, after giving effect to any such merger, amalgamation, consolidation, acquisition or combination on a pro forma basis, the Consolidated Total Debt to Consolidated EBITDA Ratio (as defined in each of the Existing Credit Agreements as in effect on the date hereof (but for purposes of such calculation with the references to “Restricted Subsidiaries” therein and in the component definitions thereof to be deemed to be references to both “Restricted Subsidiaries” and “Unrestricted Subsidiaries”, in each case, under and as defined in the Existing Credit Agreements as in effect on the date hereof) and measured for the most recent period of four consecutive fiscal quarters ended prior to the date of such proposed transaction) would be greater than the Consolidated Total Debt to Consolidated EBITDA Ratio (as so defined and measured) prior to giving effect to such merger, amalgamation, consolidation, acquisition or combination. Except (1) as required by applicable Law or (2) with the prior written consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, during the Pre-Closing Period, Parent shall not declare, set aside, establish a record date for, make or pay any cash dividend with respect to any of its equity interests.

SECTION 7.06 Obligations of Parent and Purchaser. Parent hereby guarantees the due, prompt and faithful payment, performance and discharge by Purchaser of, and the compliance by Purchaser with, all of the covenants, agreements, obligations and undertakings of Purchaser under this Agreement in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and covenants

and agrees to take all actions necessary or advisable to ensure such payment, performance and discharge by Purchaser hereunder. During the Pre-Closing Period, Purchaser shall not, and Parent shall not permit Purchaser to, engage in any activity of any nature except as provided in or expressly contemplated by this Agreement.

SECTION 7.07 Public Announcements. The initial press release relating to this Agreement shall be a joint press release, the text of which has been agreed to by each of Parent and the Company. Thereafter, except with respect to any matters contemplated by Section 7.02 (but subject to the terms thereof) or Section 9.01, each of Parent and the Company shall consult with each other before issuing any press release or otherwise making any public statements with respect to this Agreement or any of the Transactions, except to the extent public disclosure is required by applicable Law or the rules or regulations of any United States or non-United States securities exchange, in which case the issuing party shall use its reasonable efforts to consult with the other party before issuing any press release or making any such public statements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (A) each party hereto may, without such consultation, make any public statement in response to questions from the press, analysts, investors or those attending industry conferences, make internal announcements to employees and make disclosures in documents (including exhibits and all other information incorporated therein) required to be filed or furnished by the Company with the SEC, so long as such statements are consistent with previous press releases, public disclosures or public statements made jointly by the Parties and (B) Parent, Purchaser and their Affiliates may, without such consultation or consent, make ordinary course disclosures and communications to existing or prospective general and limited partners, equity holders, members, managers and investors of such person or any Affiliates of such person, in each case who are subject to customary confidentiality restrictions, and on such person’s website in the ordinary course of business.

SECTION 7.08 Transfer Taxes. The Company and Parent shall cooperate in the preparation, execution and filing of all returns, questionnaires, applications or other documents regarding any sales, transfer, stamp, stock transfer, value added, use, real property transfer or gains and any similar Taxes which become payable in connection with the Transactions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, each of Parent and the Surviving Company agrees to assume liability for and pay any sales, transfer, stamp, stock transfer, value added, use, real property transfer or gains and any similar Taxes, as well as any transfer, recording, registration and other fees that may be imposed upon, payable or incurred by the Company, any Company Subsidiary, Parent or Purchaser in connection with this Agreement and the Transactions.

SECTION 7.09 Stock Exchange De-Listing. Parent shall cause the Company’s securities to be de-listed from the Nasdaq and de-registered under the Exchange Act as soon as practicable following the Effective Time and, prior to the Effective Time, the Company will cooperate with Parent and use its reasonable best efforts to accomplish the foregoing.

SECTION 7.10 Stockholder Litigation. The Company shall be entitled to direct and control the defense of any stockholder litigation brought against the Company or its directors or officers relating to the Transactions; provided, however, the Company shall give Parent the right to consult with respect to the defense, settlement and prosecution of such litigation (and shall consider in good faith Parent’s advice with respect to such litigation), and no settlement, compromise or arrangement with respect to such litigation shall be agreed to without

Parent’s prior written consent. The Company shall notify Parent of any stockholder litigation (including by providing copies of all pleadings with respect thereto) and shall keep Parent reasonably informed with respect to the status thereof.

SECTION 7.11 Takeover Laws. If any “fair price,” “moratorium,” “control share acquisition,” “interested shareholder” or other anti-takeover Law becomes or is deemed to be applicable to this Agreement or the Transactions, then the Company Board shall grant such approvals and take such actions as are necessary so that the Transactions may be consummated as promptly as practicable on the terms contemplated hereby and otherwise act to render such Law or Laws inapplicable to the foregoing.

SECTION 7.12 Certain Filings and Consents; Notices of Certain Matters.

(a) Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, the Company and Parent shall cooperate with one another (i) in connection with the preparation of the Offer Documents and the Schedule 14D-9, (ii) in determining whether any action by or in respect of, or filing with, any Governmental Authority is required, or any actions, consents, approvals or waivers are required to be obtained from parties to any material contracts, in connection with the consummation of the Transactions and (iii) in taking such actions or making any such filings, furnishing information required in connection therewith or with the Offer Documents or the Schedule 14D-9 and seeking timely to obtain any such actions, consents, approvals or waivers (provided neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries will make or agree to make any payment of a consent fee, “profit sharing” payment or other consideration (including increased or accelerated payments) or concede anything of monetary or economic value for the purposes of obtaining any such consents without the prior consent of Parent), including such actions as may be required by the Indentures.

(b) Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall give prompt notice to the Company, and the Company shall give prompt notice to Parent, of (i) any written notice or other communication received by such party from any Governmental Authority in connection with this Agreement or the Transactions or from any Person reasonably alleging in writing that the consent of such Person is required in connection with the Transactions or (ii) any fact, event or circumstance that (A) has or would reasonably be expected to result in any Material Adverse Effect or Parent Material Adverse Effect, as applicable, or (B) is reasonably likely to result in the failure of any of the Offer Conditions or any of the conditions set forth in Article VIII to be satisfied; provided, however, that no such notification (or failure to provide such notification) shall affect any of the representations, warranties, covenants, rights or remedies, or the conditions to the obligations of, the parties hereunder. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, a party’s good faith failure to comply with this Section 7.12(b) shall not provide any other party the right not to effect the Transactions, except to the extent that any other provision of this Agreement would independently provide such right.

SECTION 7.13 Rule 14d-10 Matters . Prior to the Acceptance Time, to the extent necessary, the Compensation Committee of the Company Board will take all steps that may be necessary or reasonably advisable to cause any employee agreement, plan or arrangement (whether in existence prior to or after the date hereof) pursuant to which consideration is or becomes payable to any officer, director or employee to be approved by the Compensation Committee of the Company Board as an “employment compensation, severance

or other employee benefit arrangement” within the meaning of Rule 14d-10(d)(2) of the Exchange Act and to take all actions otherwise necessary to satisfy the requirements of the non-exclusive safe harbor set forth in Rule 14d-10(d) of the Exchange Act. Each member of the Compensation Committee is an “independent director” within the meaning of the requirements of Rule 14d-10(d) promulgated under the Exchange Act.

SECTION 7.14 Convertible Securities. As promptly as practicable after the execution and delivery of this Agreement, Purchaser, Parent and the Company shall cooperate to prepare any supplemental indenture(s) (each a “Supplemental Indenture”) as required by any of the Indentures. On the Closing Date, Purchaser, Parent and the Company, as and to the extent required by any of the Indentures, shall execute with the Trustee any such Supplemental Indenture(s) and, in each case, deliver any required certificates, legal opinions and other documents required by any such Indenture to be delivered by such persons in connection with such Supplemental Indenture(s). The Company shall deliver all notices and take all other actions required under the terms of the Convertible Securities, the Indentures or under applicable Law, including, without limitation, the giving of any notices that may be required in connection with the Transactions, including with respect to any repurchases or conversions of the Convertible Securities occurring as a result of or in connection with the Transactions to the extent constituting a “Fundamental Change” or “Make-Whole Fundamental Change,” as such terms are defined in the 1.50% Indenture and the 2.625% Indenture, or a “Change in Control,” “Make Whole Change of Control” or “Public Acquirer Change of Control,” as such terms are defined in the 2.50% Indenture; provided, however, that the Company will provide copies of such notice to Parent at the time of delivering any such notice or taking any such action described in this Section 7.14. After the Effective Time, the Surviving Company will, and Parent will cause the Surviving Company to, comply with its obligations (including any repurchase obligations) under the Indentures and any Supplemental Indentures thereto. For the avoidance of doubt, the term “Transactions” as used in this Agreement shall be deemed to include effecting any repurchases or conversions and taking all other actions required under the terms of the Convertible Securities and the Indentures.

SECTION 7.15 Financing.

(a) Parent and Purchaser shall use their reasonable best efforts to obtain the proceeds of the Debt Financing and shall use best efforts to obtain the proceeds of the Equity Financing, in each case, at or prior to the Acceptance Time on the terms and conditions described in the Commitment Letters, including (i) maintaining in effect the Commitment Letters, (ii) negotiating definitive agreements with respect to the Debt Financing to be entered into at or prior to the Acceptance Time (the “Definitive Financing Agreements”) consistent with the terms and conditions contained in the Debt Commitment Letters (including, as necessary, in accordance with any “flex” provisions contained in the Debt Commitment Letter or any related fee letter), in each case which terms shall not in any respect expand on the conditions to the funding of the proceeds from the Debt Financing at or prior to the Acceptance Time or reduce the aggregate amount of the proceeds from the Debt Financing to an amount less than the Required Amount, (iii) satisfying on a timely basis (taking into account the Marketing Period) all conditions in the Commitment Letters and the Definitive Financing Agreements applicable to and within the control of Parent or Purchaser to obtain the Financing and (iv) borrowing an amount necessary in accordance with the terms of the Definitive Financing Agreements to consummate the Transactions. In the event that all conditions contained in the Commitment Letters (other than,

with respect to the Debt Financing, the availability of the Equity Financing) have been satisfied (or upon funding will be satisfied), Parent and Purchaser shall use their reasonable best efforts to cause the Lenders, and shall cause the Sponsor, to fund at or prior to the Acceptance Time the respective portion of the Financing required to consummate the Transactions and to pay related fees and expenses at or prior to the Acceptance Time (including by seeking through litigation to enforce its rights under the Commitment Letters and Definitive Financing Agreements, as applicable). Parent and Purchaser shall comply with their respective obligations, and enforce their rights, under the Commitment Letters in a timely and diligent manner. Parent and Purchaser will not, and will not permit the Existing Borrowers to, amend, modify, replace (including pursuant to a refinancing) either of the Existing Credit Agreements in a manner that would be likely to impair, impede or delay the consummation of the Transactions or the timely funding of the full amount of the Financing contemplated by the Commitment Letters. Parent and Purchaser shall not, without the prior written consent of the Company, (A) permit any amendment, supplement or modification to, or any waiver of any provision or remedy under, or replace, the Commitment Letters if such amendment, supplement, modification, waiver or replacement (1) would (x) adversely impact the ability of either Parent or Purchaser to enforce their respective rights against any other parties to the Commitment Letters or the Definitive Financing Agreements in any material respect, (y) add new (or expand, amend, or otherwise modify any existing) conditions to the receipt of the Financing or otherwise adversely affect (including with respect to timing) the ability or likelihood of Parent or Purchaser to timely consummate the Offer at the Acceptance Time, the Merger at the Closing or any of the Transactions or (z) be reasonably expected to make the timely funding of the Financing or satisfaction of the conditions to obtaining the Financing less likely to occur, (2) reduces the amount of the Financing (including by changing the amount of fees to be paid in respect of the Debt Financing or original issue discount in respect of the Debt Financing) to an amount less than the Required Amount, (3) materially and adversely affects the ability of Parent or Purchaser to enforce its rights against any of the other parties to the Commitment Letters or the Definitive Financing Agreements as so amended, replaced, supplemented or otherwise modified, relative to the ability of Purchaser to enforce its rights against any of such other parties to the Commitment Letters as in effect on the date hereof or (4) would otherwise reasonably be expected to prevent, impede or delay the consummation of the Transactions; provided, that Parent or Purchaser may amend the Debt Commitment Letter to add lenders, lead arrangers, bookrunners, syndication agents or similar entities that have not executed the Debt Commitment Letter as of the date of this Agreement or (B) take or fail to take any action or enter into any transaction that would reasonably be expected to materially impair, delay or prevent consummation of the Financing contemplated by the Commitment Letters. Upon any such permitted amendment, supplement, modification, waiver or replacement of the Debt Commitment Letter in accordance with this Section 7.15(a), the terms “Debt Commitment Letter” and “Debt Financing” shall refer to the Debt Commitment Letter as so amended, supplemented, modified, waived or replaced and the debt financing contemplated thereby.

(b) In the event that any portion of the Financing becomes unavailable, regardless of the reason therefor, Parent and Purchaser will (i) use their respective reasonable best efforts to obtain, as promptly as practicable following the occurrence of such event (and, in the case of the Debt Financing, in any event no later than the last day of the Marketing Period), alternative financing (“Replacement Financing”) (as applicable, in an amount sufficient to replace such unavailable Financing and in any event in an amount sufficient to consummate the Transactions and satisfy the obligations of Parent and Purchaser under this Agreement) from the

same or other sources and on terms and conditions not less favorable to Parent and Purchaser in the aggregate than such unavailable Financing (including, in the case of the Debt Financing, the “flex” provisions contained in any related fee letter) and which do not include any conditions to the consummation of such alternative debt or equity financing, as applicable, that are more onerous than the conditions set forth in the applicable Financing and which do not include any additional conditions to the consummation of such alternative debt or equity financing, as applicable, that are not conditions in the applicable Financing, with it being understood and agreed that if Parent and Purchaser proceed with any alternative debt financing, Parent and Purchaser shall be subject to the same obligations with respect to such alternative debt financing as set forth in this Agreement with respect to the Debt Financing and (ii) promptly notify the Company of such unavailability and the reason therefor. For the purposes of this Agreement, the terms “Debt Commitment Letter” and “Equity Commitment Letter” shall be deemed to include any commitment letter (or similar agreement) with respect to any alternative financing arranged in compliance herewith (and any Debt Commitment Letter or Equity Commitment Letter, as applicable, remaining in effect at the time in question). Parent and Purchaser shall keep the Company reasonably informed, in reasonable detail, of the status of their efforts to arrange the Financing. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Parent and Purchaser shall provide the Company with prompt written notice (i) of (A) any material breach or default by any party to any Commitment Letters or the Definitive Financing Agreements of which Parent or Purchaser becomes aware, (B) the receipt of any written notice or other written communication from any Lender, the Sponsor, or other financing source with respect to any actual or threatened breach, default (or accusation of breach or default), termination or repudiation by any party to any Commitment Letters or the Definitive Financing Agreements of any provision thereof or (C) any material dispute or disagreement between or among Parent and Purchaser, on the one hand, and the Lenders, on the other hand, or among any Lenders to any of the Commitment Letters or the Definitive Financing Agreements with respect to the obligation to fund any of the Financing or the amount of the Financing to be funded at the Acceptance Time, and (ii) if at any time for any reason Parent or Purchaser believes in good faith that it will not be able to obtain all or any portion of the Financing on the terms and conditions, in the manner or from the sources contemplated by any of the Commitment Letters or the Definitive Financing Agreements, and Parent and Purchaser shall keep the Company reasonably informed on a current basis of the status of its efforts to consummate the Financing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, compliance by Parent and Purchaser with this Section 7.15 shall not relieve Parent or Purchaser of their obligations to consummate the Transactions whether or not the Financing is available.

(c) Prior to the Closing, the Company shall, and shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause its Representatives to, use reasonable best efforts to provide such reasonable cooperation as is customary and reasonably requested by Parent in connection with the arrangement of the Debt Financing, including:

(i) prior to and during the Marketing Period, upon reasonable notice, participating in a reasonable number of lender meetings, presentations and sessions with rating agencies,

(ii) (A) assist reasonably in the preparation of one or more credit or other agreements, as well as customary pledge and security documents, and other definitive financing documents, collateral filings or other certificates or documents as may be reasonably requested by Parent; and otherwise reasonably facilitating the pledging of

collateral (including the delivery of original share certificates, together with share powers executed in blank, with respect to each of the Company Subsidiaries) and (B) reasonably facilitating the taking of all corporate actions by the Company and the Company Subsidiaries with respect to entering such definitive financing documents and otherwise necessary to permit consummation of the Financing, it being understood and agreed that (A) no such actions or documentation (other than customary authorization letters) will take effect prior to the Closing and (B) any such action will only be required of the directors, members, partners, managers or officers of the Company and its Subsidiaries who retain their respective positions as of, and after, the Closing,

(iii) furnishing Parent as promptly as reasonably practicable with the Required Information,

(iv) assist with the preparation of materials for rating agency presentations, road show presentations, bank information memoranda (including, to the extent necessary, (x) an additional bank information memorandum that does not include material non-public information and (y) authorization letters), confidential information memorandum and similar documents (and any supplements thereto) required in connection with the Financing,

(v) assist Parent in procuring a public corporate credit rating and a public corporate family rating in respect of the relevant borrower under the Financing and public ratings for any of the tranches of the Financing be offered in connection with the Financing,

(vi) obtain customary consents of accountants for use of their auditor opinions in any materials relating to the Debt Financing at the expense of and as reasonably requested by Parent on behalf of the Financing Sources, and

(vii) provide Parent at least five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing Date all customary documentation and other information with respect to the Company and its Subsidiaries, as is reasonably requested in writing by Parent at least eight (8) Business Days prior to the Closing Date that is required in connection with the Debt Financing by U.S. regulatory authorities under applicable “know-your-customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including the USA PATRIOT Act. If the Company at any time in good faith believes that it has delivered the Required Information in accordance with this Section 7.15(c), it may (but is under no obligation to) deliver to Parent a written notice to such effect, in which case the Company shall be deemed to have delivered the Required Information unless Parent in good faith reasonably believes the Company has not completed the delivery of the Required Information and delivers to the Company within two (2) Business Days a written notice describing in reasonable detail what information that constitutes Required Information has not yet been delivered. All non-public or otherwise confidential information regarding the Company or its Affiliates obtained by Parent or Purchaser or their Representatives pursuant to this Section 7.15 shall be kept confidential in accordance with the Confidentiality Agreement, including any joinder or other agreement entered into in connection therewith. The Company hereby consents to the use of its and the Company Subsidiaries’ logos in connection with the Financing; provided, that such logos are used solely in a manner that is not intended to or reasonably likely to harm or disparage the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries or the reputation or goodwill of the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries.

(d) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) none of the Company, its Affiliates or any persons who are directors, employees, officers, members, partners or managers of the Company or its Affiliates shall be required to pass resolutions or consents to approve or authorize the execution of the Debt Financing or to execute, deliver or enter into, or perform any agreement, document or instrument (other than customary authorization letters), including any Definitive Financing Agreements, with respect to the Debt Financing, in each case, that would be effective prior to the Closing and any such action, authorization, consent, approval, execution, delivery or performance will only be required of the respective directors, employees, officers, members, partners or managers of the Company and its Subsidiaries who retain their respective positions as of, and after, the Closing, (ii) no obligation of the Company, its Affiliates or any of their respective Representatives undertaken pursuant to the foregoing shall be effective until Closing and (iii) none of the Company, its Affiliates or any of their respective Representatives shall be required to (A) pay any commitment or other similar fee in connection with the Debt Financing, (B) incur any other cost or expense that will not be promptly reimbursed by Parent in connection with the Debt Financing prior to the Closing, (C) take any actions to the extent such actions would unreasonably interfere with the ongoing business or operations of the Company and its Affiliates, (D) take any actions that would conflict with or violate the Company’s or its Affiliates’ organizational documents or any Laws, or (E) take any actions that would cause any representation or warranty in this Agreement to be breached or that would cause any closing condition set forth in Article VIII or Annex A to fail to be satisfied or that would otherwise cause a breach of this Agreement. Nothing contained in this Section 7.15 or otherwise shall require the Company or its Affiliates to be an issuer or other obligor with respect to the Debt Financing (except for the Company and its Subsidiaries after the Closing Date). For the avoidance of doubt, none of the respective directors, employees, officers, members, partners or managers of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries who will not be continuing directors, employees, officers, members, partners or managers of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in such respective capacity after the Closing shall be required to execute or enter into or perform, or otherwise authorize or consent to, or pass any resolutions in connection with, any agreement with respect to the Financing. Parent shall, promptly upon request by the Company, reimburse the Company for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Company, its Affiliates or their respective Representatives in connection with such cooperation and shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its Affiliates and their respective Representatives for and against any and all losses suffered or incurred by them in connection with the arrangement of the Debt Financing, any action taken by them pursuant to this Section 7.15 and any information utilized in connection therewith (other than written information provided by the Company).

TERMINATION

SECTION 9.01 Termination. This Agreement may be terminated and the Transactions may be abandoned at any time prior to the Acceptance Time only as follows (the date of any such termination, the “Termination Date”):

(a) by mutual written consent of each of the Company and Parent;

(b) by either the Company or Parent if:

(i) (A) the Acceptance Time shall not have occurred on or before December 23, 2017 (the “Outside Date”) or (B) the Offer shall have expired pursuant to its terms (including any extensions thereof permitted pursuant to this Agreement) and the terms of this Agreement without Purchaser having irrevocably accepted for payment the Shares validly tendered and not validly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer in accordance with this Agreement solely as a result of the failure to satisfy the Minimum Condition (other than those Offer Conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Acceptance Time, but subject to those conditions being capable of being satisfied); provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 9.01(b)(i) shall not be available to any party whose failure to satisfy any agreements or covenants under this Agreement has primarily caused or resulted in the failure of the Acceptance Time to occur on or before such date; or

(ii) any Governmental Authority of competent jurisdiction shall have enacted, issued, promulgated, enforced or entered any Law permanently enjoining, prohibiting or making illegal the consummation of the Offer or the Merger and such Law shall have become final and nonappealable; provided, however, that the party seeking to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this clause (ii) has satisfied its obligations in all material respects under Section 7.05;

(i) the Company Board shall have effected an Adverse Recommendation Change; or

(ii) a breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement on the part of the Company set forth in this Agreement shall have occurred that would cause any of the Offer Conditions set forth in clause (d), (e), (f) or (g) of

Annex A not to be satisfied, and such breach is not cured within 30 calendar days (but no later than the Outside Date) of receipt by the Company of written notice from Parent of such breach; provided, that Parent and Purchaser are not then in material breach of this Agreement; or

(d) by the Company if:

(i) Purchaser shall have (A) failed to commence the Offer within five (5) Business Days following the date set forth in Section 2.01(a); provided that the Company shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.01(d)(i) if the Company shall have breached or failed to perform any of its covenants contained in this Agreement, which breach or failure to perform is the primary cause of, or resulted in, Purchaser not commencing the Offer in a timely manner, (B) terminated the Offer in breach of the terms of this Agreement or (C) made any change to the Offer that constitutes a Willful and Material Breach of this Agreement;

(ii) the Company Board determines to enter into a definitive acquisition agreement, merger agreement or similar agreement with respect to an Acquisition Proposal in accordance with Section 7.02; provided that prior to or concurrently with such termination the Company pays the Company Termination Fee due under Section 9.03(b);

(iii) a breach of any representation, warranty covenant or agreement on the part of Parent or Purchaser set forth in this Agreement shall have occurred that would give rise to a Parent Material Adverse Effect, and such breach is not cured within 30 days (but no later than the Outside Date) of receipt by Parent of written notice from the Company of such breach; provided, that the Company is not then in material breach of this Agreement; or

(iv) if (i) the Marketing Period has ended, (ii) the Offer Conditions have been and continue to be satisfied or waived (other than those Offer Conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Acceptance Time, but subject to such conditions being able to be satisfied), (iii) the Company has irrevocably confirmed by written notice to Parent that it is ready, willing, and able to consummate the Closing and (iv) Purchaser fails to consummate (as defined in Section 251(h) of the DGCL) the Offer within three Business Days following the Expiration Date.

SECTION 9.02 Notice of Termination; Effect of Termination.

(a) A terminating party shall provide written notice of termination to the other party specifying with reasonable particularity the reason for such termination, and any such termination in accordance with Section 9.01 shall be effective immediately upon delivery of such written notice to the other party.

(b) In the event of termination of this Agreement by any party as provided in Section 9.01, this Agreement shall forthwith become void and of no further force or effect and there shall be no liability or obligation on the part of any party, except that (i) this Section 9.02,

Section 2.01(d), Section 7.01(b), Section 9.03 and Article X shall remain in full force and effect and (ii) subject to Section 9.03(g), nothing herein shall relieve any party from liability for any Willful and Material Breach of this Agreement prior to the date of such termination.

SECTION 9.03 Fees and Expenses. (a) All expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement, the Transactions and all other matters related to the Offer and the Merger shall be paid by the party incurring such expenses, whether or not the Offer, the Merger or any other Transaction is consummated, except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Parent will pay all filing fees or make other payments to any Governmental Authority in connection with the filings made pursuant to the HSR Act or any other Antitrust Law.

(b) If this Agreement shall be terminated:

(i) (A) (1) by the Company or Parent pursuant to Section 9.01(b)(i) and only in circumstances where all of the Offer Conditions have been satisfied except for the Minimum Condition or the Offer Conditions set forth in clauses (d), (e), (f) or (g) of Annex A (but subject to such conditions being able to be satisfied) or (2) by Parent pursuant to Section 9.01(c)(ii), (B) at or prior to the Termination Date an Acquisition Proposal shall have been publicly announced or publicly known and not publicly withdrawn and (C) within twelve (12) months of the Termination Date the Company enters into a definitive agreement with respect to, and subsequently consummates, such Acquisition Proposal, in each case whether or not involving the same Acquisition Proposal or the person making the Acquisition Proposal referred to in clause (B), then the Company shall pay to Parent (or its designee), upon consummation of such Acquisition Proposal, the amount of $75,000,000 (the “Company Termination Fee”) in accordance with Section 9.03(c); or

(ii) by Parent pursuant to Section 9.01(c)(i), or the Company pursuant to Section 9.01(d)(ii), then the Company shall pay to Parent (or its designee) the Company Termination Fee in accordance with Section 9.03(c).

(c) The Company Termination Fee payable by the Company under this Section 9.03 shall be paid to Parent or its designee by the Company in immediately available funds (i) immediately prior to or concurrently with a termination of this Agreement by the Company pursuant to Section 9.01(d)(ii) and (ii) within two (2) Business Days after the date of the event giving rise to the obligation to make such payment in all other circumstances. Subject to Section 10.09, the payment to Parent or its designees of the Company Termination Fee shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of Parent and Purchaser for any loss suffered by Parent or Purchaser as a result of the failure of the Transactions to be consummated and, upon such payment in accordance with this Section 9.03, the Company shall not have any further liability or obligation relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the Transactions.

(d) If this Agreement shall be terminated by the Company pursuant to Section 9.01(d)(i), Section 9.01(d)(iii) or Section 9.01(d)(iv), Parent shall pay to the Company the amount of $175,000,000 (the “Parent Termination Fee”) in immediately available funds within two (2) Business Days after the date of such termination.

(e) For purposes of Section 9.03(b)(i), Acquisition Proposal shall have the meaning assigned to such term in Section 7.02(g)(i), except that references to 20% in clauses (1) and (2) of the definition thereof shall be deemed to be references to 50% and clause (3) of the definition thereof shall be deemed amended and replaced in its entirety by the following language: “(3) any merger, consolidation, business combination, recapitalization or other similar transaction involving the Company pursuant to which stockholders of the Company immediately prior to the consummation of such transaction would cease to own directly or indirectly at least 50% of the voting power of the outstanding securities of the Company (or of another person that directly or indirectly would own all or substantially all the assets of the Company) immediately following such transaction in the same proportion as they owned prior to the consummation of such transaction.”

(f) The parties acknowledge and agree that the agreements contained in this Section 9.03 are an integral part of the Transactions, and that, without these agreements, the parties would not enter into this Agreement. Each of the parties further acknowledges that the payment of the amounts by the Company or Parent specified in this Section 9.03 is not a penalty, but, in each case, is liquidated damages in a reasonable amount that will compensate Parent and Purchaser or the Company, as applicable, in the circumstances in which such fees are payable for the efforts and resources expended and the opportunities foregone while negotiating this Agreement and in reliance on this Agreement and on the expectation of the consummation of the Transactions, which amount would otherwise be impossible to calculate with precision. In no event shall the Company or Parent be required to pay a fee in connection with the termination of this Agreement more than once.

(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, but subject to Section 10.09, each of the parties hereto expressly acknowledges and agrees that the Company’s right to terminate this Agreement and for the Company to receive payment of the Parent Termination Fee pursuant to this Section 9.03 shall constitute the sole and exclusive remedy of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries and their respective Affiliates and any of their respective former, current or future general or limited partners, stockholders, equityholders, members, managers, directors, officers, employees, agents or Affiliates (collectively, the “Company Related Parties”) against Parent, the Sponsor and their respective Affiliates, the Financing Sources, any other potential debt or equity financing source and any of their respective former, current or future general or limited partners, stockholders, equityholders, members, managers, directors, officers, employees, agents or Affiliates or any former, current or future general or limited partner, stockholder, equityholder, member, manager, director, officer, employee, agent or Affiliate of any of the foregoing (collectively, the “Parent Related Parties”) for all losses and damages in respect of this Agreement (or the termination thereof) or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (or the failure of such transactions to occur for any reason or for no reason) or any breach (whether willful, intentional, unilateral or otherwise) of any covenant or agreement or otherwise in respect of this Agreement or any oral representation made or alleged to be made in connection herewith, and upon payment of the Parent Termination Fee to the Company pursuant to Section 9.03(d), none of the Parent Related Parties shall have any further liability or obligation to any of the Company Related Parties relating to or arising out of this Agreement, the Guarantee, the Commitment Letters or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, and none of the Company, its Subsidiaries nor any other Company Related Party shall seek to recover any other damages or seek any other remedy, whether based on a claim at law or in equity, in contract, tort or otherwise, with respect to any losses or damages

suffered in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or any oral representation made or alleged to be made in connection herewith. In no event shall Parent be subject to (nor shall any Company Related Party seek to recover) monetary damages in excess of an amount equal to the Parent Termination Fee, in the aggregate, for any losses or other liabilities arising out of or in connection with breaches by Parent of its representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement or arising from any claim or cause of action that any Company Related Party may have, including for a breach of Section 2.01(e) as a result of the Debt Financing not being available to be drawn down or otherwise arising from the Commitments Letters or in respect of any oral representation made or alleged to be made in connection herewith or therewith.

(h) While the Company may pursue both a grant of specific performance or other equitable relief under Section 10.09 and, following termination of this Agreement, the payment of the Parent Termination Fee under this Section 9.03, under no circumstances shall the Company be permitted or entitled to receive both a grant of specific performance or other equitable relief and the Parent Termination Fee in connection with this Agreement or any termination of this Agreement.

SECTION 10.03 Interpretation and Rules of Construction. When a reference is made in this Agreement to an Exhibit, an Article or a Section, such reference shall be to an Exhibit, an Article or a Section of this Agreement unless otherwise indicated. The table of contents, index of defined terms and headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. 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”, “hereto”, “hereby”, “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. Documents, materials and information are deemed to have been “made available” to Parent and Purchaser, if such documents, materials or information were (a) available for review by such person and its Representatives through the electronic data room entitled “Project House”, which is hosted by Merrill Datasite in connection with the Transactions, (b) otherwise provided by or on behalf of the Company to Parent, Purchaser or their Representatives. The term “or” is 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 definitions contained in this Agreement are applicable to the singular as well as the plural forms of such terms. Any agreement, instrument or Law defined or referred to herein means such agreement, instrument or Law as from time to time amended, modified or supplemented, unless otherwise

specifically indicated. References to a person are also to its successors and permitted assigns. 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, and if the last day of such period is not a Business Day, the period shall end on the immediately following Business Day (if being calculated based on Business Days). Unless otherwise specifically indicated, all references to “dollars” and “$” will be deemed references to the lawful money of the United States of America. Each of the parties has participated in the drafting and negotiation of this Agreement. If an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement must be construed as if it is drafted by all the parties, and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of authorship of any of the provisions of this Agreement. References to “days” shall mean “calendar days” unless expressly stated otherwise.

SECTION 10.04 Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of Law, or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the Transactions is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the Transactions be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.

SECTION 10.05 Disclaimer of Other Representations and Warranties. Parent, Purchaser and the Company each hereby acknowledges and agrees that, except for the representations and warranties expressly set forth in Article IV and Article V, as applicable, and notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (a) no party nor its Representatives makes, and has not made, any representations or warranties, express or implied, at Law or in equity, relating to itself or its businesses or otherwise in connection with the Transactions, (b) no person has been authorized by any party to make any representation or warranty relating to such party or its businesses or otherwise in connection with the Transactions and, if made, such representation or warranty must not be relied upon as having been authorized by such party, and (c) any estimates, projections, predictions, data, financial information, memoranda, presentations or any other materials or information provided or addressed to any party or any of its Representatives are not and shall not be deemed to be or to include representations or warranties unless any such materials or information is the subject of any representation or warranty set forth in this Agreement.

SECTION 10.06 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, taken together with the Company Disclosure Schedule, the Guarantee, the Equity Commitment Letter and the Confidentiality Agreement (together with any joinders or other agreements entered into in connection therewith), constitutes the entire agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersedes all prior agreements and undertakings, both written and oral, among the parties hereto, or any of them, with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof.

SECTION 10.07 Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations under this Agreement shall be assigned, in whole or in part, by operation of Law or otherwise by any of the parties hereto without the prior written consent of the other parties hereto; provided that Parent and Purchaser may assign all or any of their rights and obligations hereunder to any direct or indirect wholly-owned Subsidiary of Parent so long as (a) Parent continues to remain liable for all of such obligations as if no such assignment had occurred and (b) such assignment in no way causes a delay or impairs the ability of Parent and Purchaser to consummate the Transactions. Any purported assignment without such consent shall be void. Subject to the preceding sentences, this Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the parties and their respective successors and assigns.

SECTION 10.08 Parties in Interest. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of each party hereto, and nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other person any right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement, except for (a) the provisions of Section 7.03 (which are for the benefit of the persons covered thereby and may be enforced by such persons following the Effective Time); provided that notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of this Section 10.08, Section 10.10(c), Section 10.11 and the last sentence of Section 10.12 shall be enforceable by each Financing Source and each Financing Source shall be an intended third party beneficiary of this Section and such Sections.

SECTION 10.09 Specific Performance. (a) The parties acknowledge and agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. Each party agrees that, in the event of any breach or threatened breach by any other party of any covenant or obligation contained in this Agreement, the non-breaching party shall be entitled (in addition to any other remedy that may be available to it whether in Law, equity or otherwise, including monetary damages, except as limited by Section 9.03) to (i) an Order of specific performance to enforce the observance and performance of such covenant or obligation, and (ii) an injunction restraining such breach or threatened breach. In circumstances where Parent, Purchaser or the Company is obligated to consummate any Transaction and such Transaction has not been consummated, each of Parent, Purchaser and the Company expressly acknowledges and agrees that the other party shall have suffered irreparable harm, that monetary damages will be inadequate to compensate such other party and that such other party shall be entitled to enforce specifically Parent’s or the Company’s, as the case may be, obligation to consummate such Transaction. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Agreement, the parties acknowledge and agree that (x) Parent shall not be entitled to enforce specifically the obligations of the Company to consummate the Transactions unless all of the conditions set forth in Article VIII shall have been satisfied or, to the extent permitted, waived in writing by the Company and (y) the Company shall not be entitled to enforce specifically the obligations of Parent and Purchaser to consummate the Transactions unless all of the conditions set forth in Annex A and Article VIII shall have been satisfied or waived in writing by Parent (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Expiration Date or the Closing, as applicable, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver of such conditions). Each party further agrees that no other party or any other person shall be required to obtain, furnish or post any bond or similar instrument in connection with or as a condition to obtaining any remedy referred to in this Section 10.09, and each party irrevocably waives any right it may have to require the obtaining, furnishing or posting of any such bond or similar instrument.

(b) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Parties hereby agree that the Company shall only be entitled to specific performance of Parent’s obligations to cause the Equity Financing to be funded to fund the Offer Price and the Merger Consideration and Parent’s and Purchaser’s obligation to cause the Acceptance Time to occur and to effect the Closing if, and only if, (i) the Marketing Period has ended, (ii) all the conditions in Annex A and Article VIII, as applicable, have been satisfied or waived (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Expiration Date or the Closing, as applicable, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver of such conditions) at the Expiration Date or the Closing, as applicable, (iii) the Debt Financing (or any Replacement Financing in accordance with Section 7.15(b)) has been or will be funded (or any Replacement Financing in accordance with Section 7.15(b) will be funded) at the Closing if the Equity Financing is funded at the Closing and (iv) the Company has irrevocably confirmed in writing to Parent that if specific performance is granted and the Financing (including any Replacement Financing that has been obtained in accordance with Section 7.15) is funded, then the Company will cause the Closing to occur.

(c) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the parties hereto agree that the Company shall be entitled to enforce specifically Parent’s and Purchaser’s obligations to cause the Debt Financing to be funded and to enforce the terms of the Debt Commitment Letter or any financing agreements related thereto, including by requiring that Parent and Purchaser file one or more lawsuits against the counterparties to the Debt Commitment Letter to fully enforce such counterparties’ obligations thereunder and Parent’s and Purchaser’s rights thereunder, if, and only if, (i) the Marketing Period has ended, (ii) all the conditions in Annex A and Article VIII (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Expiration Date or the Closing, as applicable, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver of such conditions) have been satisfied or waived at the Expiration Date or the Closing, as applicable, (iii) all conditions to the consummation of the Financing provided by the Debt Commitment Letter (or if any Replacement Financing that has been obtained in accordance with Section 7.15, pursuant to the commitments with respect thereto) have been satisfied and (iv) the Company has irrevocably confirmed in writing to Parent that if specific performance is granted and the Financing (including any Replacement Financing that has been obtained in accordance with Section 7.15) is funded, then the Company will cause the Closing to occur.

SECTION 10.10 Governing Law.

(a) This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the Laws of the State of Delaware without regard to the principles of conflicts of law that would cause the application of law of any jurisdiction other than those of the State of Delaware.

(b) The parties hereto agree that any Action seeking to enforce any provision of, or based on any matter arising out of or in connection with, this Agreement or the Transactions (whether brought by any party or any of its Affiliates or against any party or any of its Affiliates) shall be heard and determined exclusively in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware; provided, however, that if such court does not have jurisdiction over such Action, such Action shall be heard and determined exclusively in any federal or state court located in the State of Delaware. Consistent with the preceding sentence, each of the parties hereto hereby (i) submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of any federal or state court sitting in the State of Delaware for the purpose of any Action arising out of or relating to this Agreement brought by either party

hereto; (ii) agrees that service of process will be validly effected by sending notice in accordance with Section 10.02; and (iii) irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert by way of motion, defense, or otherwise, in any such Action, any claim that it is not subject personally to the jurisdiction of the above-named courts, that its property is exempt or immune from attachment or execution, that the Action is brought in an inconvenient forum, that the venue of the Action is improper, or that this Agreement or the Transactions may not be enforced in or by any of the above named courts.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, each of the Parties hereto: (i) agrees that it will not bring or support any Person, or permit any of its Affiliates to bring or support any Person, in any Action of any kind or description, whether in law or in equity, whether in contract or in tort or otherwise, against the Financing Sources or any other Person that has committed or subsequently commits to provide or otherwise enters into agreements in connection with providing the Debt Financing to Parent or any of its Affiliates, and each of its or their respective former, current and future Affiliates, equityholders, members, partners, controlling persons, officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors and representatives involved in such Debt Financing (collectively, the “Lender Parties”) in any way relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including, but not limited to, any dispute arising out of or relating in any way to the Debt Commitment Letters or the performance thereof or the financings contemplated thereby, in any forum other than the federal and New York State courts located in the Borough of Manhattan within the City of New York; (ii) agrees that, except as specifically set forth in the Debt Commitment Letter, all claims or causes of action (whether at law, in equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise) against any of the Lender Parties in any way relating to the Debt Commitment Letters or the performance thereof or the financings contemplated thereby, shall be exclusively governed by, and construed in accordance with, the internal laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to principles or rules of conflict of laws to the extent such principles or rules would require or permit the application of laws of another jurisdiction; and (iii) HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION (WHETHER AT LAW OR IN EQUITY, IN CONTRACT, IN TORT OR OTHERWISE) DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING IN ANY WAY TO THE DEBT COMMITMENT LETTER OR THE PERFORMANCE THEREOF OR THE FINANCINGS CONTEMPLATED THEREBY. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Lender Parties are intended third-party beneficiaries of, and shall be entitled to the protections of this provision to the same extent as if the Financing Sources were parties to this Agreement. This Section may not be amended, modified or supplemented, or any of its provisions waived, without the written consent of the Financing Sources, which consent may be granted or withheld in the sole discretion of the Financing Sources.

SECTION 10.11 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY WAIVES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY WITH RESPECT TO ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS (INCLUDING ANY SUCH SUIT AGAINST THE FINANCING SOURCES). EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF THE OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH

OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT, AS APPLICABLE, BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 10.11.

SECTION 10.12 Amendment. This Agreement may be amended, by written agreement of the parties hereto, at any time prior to the Effective Time; provided, however, that, following the Acceptance Time, no amendment may be made that would reduce the amount or change the form of Merger Consideration. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of this Section 10.12, Section 10.08, Section 10.10(c) and Section 10.11 shall not be amended, modified, supplemented or waived in a manner that is adverse in any material respect to any Financing Source without the prior written consent of the applicable Financing Source.

SECTION 10.13 Waiver. At any time prior to the Effective Time, Parent (on behalf of itself and Purchaser), on the one hand, and the Company, on the other hand, may (a) extend the time for the performance of any obligation or other act of any other party hereto, (b) waive any inaccuracy in the representations and warranties of any other party contained herein or in any document delivered pursuant hereto and (c) waive compliance with any agreement of any other party or any condition to its own obligations contained herein. Any such extension or waiver shall be valid if set forth in an instrument in writing signed by the party or parties to be bound thereby. The failure of any party to assert any of its rights under this Agreement or otherwise shall not constitute a waiver of those rights.

SECTION 10.14 Company Disclosure Schedule. The parties hereto agree that any reference in a particular Section of the Company Disclosure Schedule shall be deemed to be disclosed and incorporated by reference in each other Section of the Company Disclosure Schedule to which such information reasonably relates as though fully set forth in such other Section to the extent the applicability and relevance of such information to such other Section is reasonably apparent. Certain items and matters may be listed in the Company Disclosure Schedule for informational purposes only and may not be required to be listed therein by the terms of this Agreement. In no event shall the listing of items or matters in the Company Disclosure Schedule be deemed or interpreted to broaden, or otherwise expand the scope of, the representations and warranties or covenants contained in this Agreement. The mere inclusion of an item in the Company Disclosure Schedule as an exception to a representation or warranty (x) shall not be deemed an admission that such item represents a material exception or material event, circumstance, change, effect, development or condition or that such item would have a Material Adverse Effect on the Company and (y) shall not be construed as an admission by the Company of any non-compliance with, or violation of, any third party rights (including any intellectual property rights) or any Law or Order of any Governmental Authority, such disclosures having been made solely for the purposes of creating exceptions to the representations made herein or of disclosing any information required to be disclosed under this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, no reference to or disclosure of a possible breach or violation of any Contract or agreement, Law or Order shall be construed as an admission or indication that a breach or violation exists or has actually occurred.

SECTION 10.15 No Recourse. This Agreement may only be enforced against, and any claim, action, suit or other legal proceeding based upon, arising out of, or related to this

Agreement, or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement, may only be brought against the entities that are expressly named as parties hereto and then only with respect to the specific obligations set forth herein with respect to such party, except for claims that the Company may assert in accordance with the Guarantee or Equity Commitment Letter. No past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, manager, member, general or limited partner, stockholder, equityholder, controlling person, Affiliate, agent, attorney or other Representative of any party hereto or any of their successors or permitted assigns or any direct or indirect director, officer, employee, incorporator, manager, member, general or limited partner, stockholder, equityholder, controlling person, Affiliate, agent, attorney, Representative, successor or permitted assign of any of the foregoing (each, a “Non-Recourse Party”), shall have any liability for any obligations or liabilities of any party hereto under this Agreement or for any claim or proceeding (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) based on, in respect of or by reason of the transactions contemplated hereby or in respect of any written or oral representations made or alleged to be made in connection herewith. Without limiting the rights of the Company against Parent, in no event shall the Company or any of its Affiliates seek to enforce this Agreement against, make any claims for breach of this Agreement against, or seek to recover monetary damages from, any Non-Recourse Party (other than in accordance with the Guarantee or Equity Commitment Letter).

SECTION 10.16 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed and delivered (including by facsimile transmission or other means of electronic transmission, such as by electronic mail in “pdf” form) in counterparts, and by the different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when executed shall be deemed to be an original but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

ANNEX A

Conditions to the Offer

Notwithstanding any other provision of the Agreement or the Offer and in addition to (and not in limitation of) Purchaser’s right to extend and amend the Offer pursuant to the provisions of the Agreement, subject to any applicable rules and regulations of the SEC, Purchaser shall not be required to (and Parent shall not be required to cause Purchaser to) accept for payment or pay for any Shares validly tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to the Offer, and, subject to the terms of this Agreement, may extend, terminate or amend the Offer, if, as of the Expiration Date of the Offer, any of the following conditions shall not be satisfied or, to the extent permitted, waived in writing by Parent:

(a) there shall have been validly tendered and not validly withdrawn that number of Shares (excluding shares tendered pursuant to notices of guaranteed delivery that have not yet been “received” (as such term is defined in Section 251(h)(6)(f) of the DGCL)) that, when added to the Shares then owned by Parent and its Subsidiaries, would represent a majority of all Shares outstanding as of the expiration of the Offer (the “Minimum Condition”) (it being understood that, for purposes of calculating whether the Minimum Condition has been satisfied, the aggregate number of Shares outstanding shall (i) include, without duplication, Shares issuable in respect of (A) Company Stock Options for which the holders thereof have satisfied all of the requirements for exercise thereof prior to the expiration of the Offer, even if delivery of Shares resulting from such exercises to the respective optionholders has not occurred prior to the expiration of the Offer, (B) Restricted Stock Units for which the holders thereof have satisfied all of the requirements for vesting thereof prior to the expiration of the Offer, even if delivery of the Shares resulting from such vesting to the respective RSU holders has not occurred prior to the expiration of the Offer and (C) Convertible Securities for which the holders thereof have satisfied all of the requirements for conversion (as set forth in the applicable Indenture) prior to the expiration of the Offer, even if delivery of Shares resulting from such conversions (including any applicable “Additional Shares” (as defined in the Convertible Securities) deliverable in connection therewith) to the respective converting holders has not occurred prior to the expiration of the Offer, and (ii) not include Shares held in treasury by the Company as of the expiration of the Offer or any other Shares acquired by the Company prior to the expiration of the Offer (including any such Shares acquired in connection with tax withholding for the vesting of Restricted Shares or Restricted Stock Units or in connection with tax withholding or payment of the exercise price for the exercise of Company Stock Options), even if delivery to the Company of Shares so acquired has not occurred prior to the expiration of the Offer);

(b) any applicable waiting period under the HSR Act shall have expired or been terminated and, to the extent applicable, all clearances and authorizations required by the Antitrust Laws of Germany and Austria shall have been obtained;

(c) no Governmental Authority of competent jurisdiction shall have enacted, issued, promulgated, enforced or entered any Law that is in effect and enjoins or otherwise prohibits or makes illegal the consummation of the Offer, the acquisition of the Shares by Parent or Purchaser, the Merger or the other Transactions; provided, however, that Parent and Purchaser shall not be permitted to invoke this clause (c) unless they shall have complied with their obligations under Section 7.05 in all material respects;

(d) (i) the representations and warranties of the Company contained in the first sentence of Section 4.01(a) (solely to the extent concerning the Company), the first sentence of Section 4.02 (solely to the extent concerning the Company), Section 4.03(a), the first, third and fourth sentences of Section 4.03(b) (other than for inaccuracies that are individually or in the aggregate de minimis relative to the total fully diluted equity capitalization of the Company), Section 4.04 and Section 4.10(a) shall be true and correct in all respects at and as of immediately prior to such time with the same force and effect as if made on and as of such time (except to the extent such representations and warranties are, by their terms, made as of a specified time, in which case such representations and warranties shall be true and correct as of such specified time), (ii) the representations and warranties of the Company contained in Section 4.20, Section 4.22 and Section 4.24 shall be true and correct in all material respects at and as of immediately prior to such time with the same force and effect as if made on and as of such time (except to the extent such representations and warranties are, by their terms, made as of a specified time, in which case such representations and warranties shall be true and correct as of such specified time) (without giving effect to any qualification by materiality contained therein) and (iii) the other representations and warranties contained in Article IV shall be true and correct as of such time with the same force and effect as if made on and as of such time (except to the extent such representations and warranties are, by their terms, made as of a specified time, in which case such representations and warranties shall be true and correct as of such specified time) (without giving effect to any qualification by materiality or Material Adverse Effect contained therein), except for failures to be so true and correct that would not have a Material Adverse Effect;

(e) the Company shall have performed or complied with, in all material respects, each covenant, agreement and obligation required by this Agreement to be performed or complied with by it on or prior to such time;

(f) since the date of the Agreement there shall not have been any event, circumstance, change, development or effect that, individually or in the aggregate, has had, or would reasonably be expected to have, a Material Adverse Effect;

(g) the Company shall have delivered to Parent a certificate, dated as of the then-scheduled Expiration Date, signed by an executive officer of the Company, certifying that the Offer Conditions specified in paragraphs (d), (e) and (f) have been satisfied;

(h) the Marketing Period shall have expired; or

(i) the Agreement shall not have been terminated in accordance with Section 9.01.

The foregoing conditions are for the sole benefit of Parent and Purchaser and, other than the Minimum Condition, may be waived by Parent and Purchaser in whole or in part at any time and from time to time in their sole discretion, in each case subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and to the extent such waiver is permitted by applicable Law. The failure by Parent, Purchaser or any other Affiliate of Parent at any time to exercise any of the

foregoing rights shall not be deemed a waiver of any such right, the waiver of any such right with respect to particular facts and circumstances shall not be deemed a waiver with respect to any other facts and circumstances and each such right shall be deemed an ongoing right that may be asserted at any time and from time to time.

The capitalized terms used in this Annex A shall have the meanings set forth in the Agreement to which it is annexed.
