The Company shall give Parent prompt notice of any demands received by the Company for appraisal of shares of Company Common Stock, and Parent shall have the right to participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demands. The Company shall

not, except with the prior written consent of Parent, (i) voluntarily make any payment with respect to any demands for appraisal for Dissenting Shares, (ii) offer to settle any such demands, (iii) waive any failure to timely deliver a written demand for appraisal in accordance with the DGCL or (iv) agree to do any of the foregoing.

Section 4.6 Treatment of Stock Options and Other Stock-Based Awards.

(a) Prior to the Effective Time, the Board of Directors of the Company (or, if appropriate, any committee thereof) shall adopt appropriate resolutions and take all other actions necessary and appropriate to provide that, immediately prior to the Effective Time, each option to purchase shares of Company Common Stock (a “Company Option”) granted under the equity incentive plans of the Company or under any and all individual consultant, employee, director, independent contractor, independent sales personnel or distributor agreement (collectively, the “Company Stock Plans”), whether vested or unvested, that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be cancelled and, in exchange therefor, each former holder of any such cancelled Company Option shall be entitled to receive, in consideration of the cancellation of such Company Option and in settlement therefor, a payment (comprised of Parent Common Stock and cash) equal to the product of (i) the total number of shares of Company Common Stock previously subject to such Company Option and (ii) the excess, if any, of the Merger Consideration Value over the exercise price per share of Company Common Stock previously subject to such Company Option (such amounts payable hereunder being referred to as the “Per Option Consideration”). From and after the Effective Time, any such cancelled Company Option shall no longer be exercisable by the former holder thereof, but shall only entitle such holder to the payment of an allocable portion of the Aggregate Option Consideration. At, or as promptly as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time, Parent shall or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to deliver in exchange for each Company Option which is canceled pursuant to this Section 4.6(a) a payment (comprised of Parent Common Stock and cash) equal to the product of (i) the Aggregate Option Consideration and (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the Per Option Consideration for such Company Option and the denominator of which is the aggregate of the Per Option Consideration for all Company Options. The portion of each such payment consisting of cash shall be equal to the ratio which (i) the value of the Aggregate Adjusted Cash Consideration bears to (ii) the value of the Aggregate Consideration (based, for such purposes, on the Parent Reference Price in respect of the value of the Parent Common Stock that comprised part of the Aggregate Consideration). The portion of each such payment consisting of Parent Common Stock shall be equal to the ratio which (i) the value of the Aggregate Stock Consideration bears to (ii) the value of the Aggregate Consideration (based, for such purposes, on the Parent Reference Price in respect of the value of the Parent Common Stock that comprised part of the Aggregate Consideration). The cash and shares payable pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be subject to any applicable withholding or other taxes required by Applicable Law to be withheld, with any such amounts being withheld from the cash payment to the maximum extent possible.

(b) Prior to the Effective Time, the Board of Directors of the Company (or, if appropriate, any committee thereof) shall adopt appropriate resolutions and take all other actions necessary and appropriate to provide that, immediately prior to the Effective Time, each right of any kind, contingent or accrued, to receive shares of Company Common Stock or benefits measured by the value of a number of shares of Company Common Stock, and each award of

any kind consisting of shares of Company Common Stock, granted under Company Stock Plans (including restricted stock units and leveraged share awards), other than Company Options (each, a “Company Stock-Based Award”), whether vested or unvested, which is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be cancelled and, in exchange therefor, each former holder of any such cancelled Company Stock-Based Award shall be entitled to receive, in consideration of the cancellation of such Company Stock-Based Award and in settlement therefor, a payment of the Merger Consideration (comprised of Parent Common Stock and cash) into which the number of shares of Company Common Stock previously subject to such Company Stock-Based Award would have been converted into in the Merger if such shares of Company Common Stock had been outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time; provided, that in the case of leveraged share awards, any such payment will be reduced by any unpaid portion of any loan with respect to such award. Such reduction shall be comprised of a proportionate reduction in the cash and Parent Common Stock otherwise required to be paid. From and after the Effective Time, any such cancelled Company Stock-Based Award shall only entitle such holder to the payment of the Merger Consideration pursuant to this Section 4.6(b), as so reduced. At, or as promptly as reasonably practicable after, the Effective Time, Parent shall or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to provide each holder of Company Stock-Based Awards which are canceled pursuant to this Section 4.6(b) with a lump sum cash payment and a payment of Parent Common Stock equal to the Merger Consideration payable to such holder pursuant to this Section 4.6(b), as so reduced, subject to any applicable withholding or other taxes required by Applicable Law to be withheld, with any such amounts withheld from the cash payment to the maximum extent possible.

(c) The Company shall take all steps necessary to provide that the Company Stock Plans (as well as any outstanding awards under any such plans) are terminated effective as of the Closing.

(d) No fractional shares of Parent Common Stock shall be issued to holders of Company Options or Company Stock-Based Awards, but in lieu thereof each holder of Company Options or Company Stock-Based Awards otherwise entitled to a fractional share of Parent Common Stock will be entitled to receive, from the Company in accordance with the provisions of this Section 4.6, a cash payment in lieu of such fractional shares of Parent Common Stock in addition to the cash payment otherwise contemplated by this Section 4.6, equal to the number of such fractional shares of Parent Common Stock multiplied by the Parent Reference Price. Fractional share interests will not entitle the owner thereof to vote or to any other rights (including the right to receive dividends or other distributions of Parent) of a stockholder of Parent. The parties acknowledge that payment of cash consideration in lieu of issuing fractional shares is not separately bargained-for consideration but merely represents a mechanical rounding off for purposes of avoiding the expense and inconvenience to Parent that would otherwise be caused by the issuance of fractional shares.

Section 4.7 Further Action. If at any time after the Effective Time, any further action is necessary to vest the Surviving Corporation with full right, title and possession to all assets, property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of the Company, the directors and officers of the Surviving Corporation are fully authorized in the name of the Company and Merger Sub to take all such lawful and necessary action.

Section 4.8 Withholding Rights. Each of Parent, Merger Sub and the Surviving Corporation shall be entitled to deduct and withhold, or cause the Exchange Agent to deduct and withhold, from any of the consideration otherwise payable to any Person pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to all of the consideration payable to such Person under any provision of federal, state, local or foreign Tax law. To the extent that amounts are so deducted or withheld by Parent, Merger Sub, the Surviving Corporation, or the Exchange Agent, as the case may be, and paid over to the applicable Governmental Authority, such deducted or withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of shares of Company Common Stock, Company Options or Company Stock-Based Awards, as applicable, in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made by Parent, Merger Sub, the Surviving Corporation or the Exchange Agent, as the case may be.

ARTICLE V

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE COMPANY

Except as disclosed in the Company Disclosure Letter and except as disclosed in any form, report, schedule, statement or other document (including all amendments thereto but excluding any disclosure contained in the “Risk Factors” section thereof (other than statements of fact) and any cautionary or predictive statements or forward-looking statements contained elsewhere therein) filed with, or furnished to, the Commission by the Company or Biomet on or after June 1, 2012 and prior to the date of this Agreement, the Company hereby represents and warrants to Parent and Merger Sub as follows:

Section 5.1 Corporate Existence. Each of the Company and its Subsidiaries is an entity duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization with all requisite corporate power and authority to own, lease and operate its properties and assets as they are now being owned, leased or operated and to carry on its business as presently conducted. Each of the Company and its Subsidiaries is duly qualified to do business as a foreign corporation or other legal entity and is in good standing (with respect to jurisdictions which recognize such concept) in each jurisdiction where the character of the properties owned, leased or operated by it or the nature of the business transacted by it requires it to be so qualified or in good standing, except where the failure to be so qualified and in good standing would not have a Company Material Adverse Effect.

Section 5.2 Authorization.

(a) The Company has all necessary corporate power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement, to perform its obligations hereunder and, subject to receipt of the Company Stockholder Approval, the delivery of the notice required to be delivered by the Company pursuant to Section 228(e) of the DGCL (the “Section 228 Notice”) following receipt of the Company Stockholder Approval, and the filing of the Certificate of Merger pursuant to the DGCL, to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. Except for the approvals described in the following sentence, the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by the Company and the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated hereby

have been duly and validly authorized by all necessary corporate action on behalf of the Company. No other corporate proceedings on the part of the Company are necessary to authorize this Agreement or to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, including the Merger, other than the adoption of this Agreement by the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock entitled to vote in accordance with the DGCL (the “Company Stockholder Approval”), the filing of the Certificate of Merger pursuant to the DGCL and the delivery of the Section 228 Notice following receipt of the Company Stockholder Approval. The only vote of the holders of any class or series of capital stock of the Company necessary to adopt this Agreement is the Company Stockholder Approval. This Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by the Company and, assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery by each other party hereto, constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, except as may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent transfer and similar laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors’ rights or by general equity principles.

(b) The Board of Directors of the Company has duly adopted resolutions by unanimous vote of those voting at a meeting duly called and held (i) approving the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by the Company, (ii) determining that entering into this Agreement is fair to, and in the best interests of, the Company and its stockholders, (iii) declaring this Agreement advisable and (iv) recommending that the Company’s stockholders adopt this Agreement and directing that this Agreement be submitted to the Company’s stockholders for adoption.

As of their respective dates, or if amended, as of the date of the last such amendment, the Company SEC Documents (i) complied in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and the Sarbanes Act (to the extent then applicable) and (ii) did not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. For the avoidance of doubt, the Registration Statement is not a Company SEC Document.

(b) Each of the consolidated financial statements (including, in each case, any related notes thereto) contained in the Company SEC Documents (the “Company Financial Statements”), including each Company SEC Document filed after the date hereof until the Closing, (i) complied, as of their respective dates of filing with the Commission (or if amended, the date of the last such amendment), in all material respects with the published rules and regulations of the Commission with respect thereto, (ii) was prepared in accordance with GAAP applied on a consistent basis throughout the periods involved and (iii) fairly presented in all material respects, as applicable, the consolidated financial position of the Company and its

Subsidiaries as of the respective dates thereof and the consolidated results of the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ operations and cash flows for the periods indicated (except, in the case of each of sub-clauses (ii) and (iii), that the unaudited interim financial statements were subject to normal year-end and quarter-end adjustments which were not material).

(c) Each of the Company and Biomet maintains a system of internal accounting controls sufficient to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP. Each of the Company and Biomet has (A) reasonably designed disclosure controls and procedures (within the meaning of Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) to ensure that material information is made known to the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer of the Company and Biomet by others within the Company and Biomet and (B) disclosed, based on its most recent evaluation prior to the date of this Agreement, to its auditors and the audit committee of its Board of Directors (1) any significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in the design or operation of internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act) which are reasonably likely to adversely affect in any material respect its ability to record, process, summarize and report financial data and (2) any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other employees who have a significant role in its internal controls.

Parent has delivered to the Company, on or prior to the date of this Agreement, a true and complete copy of an executed commitment letter among Parent, Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC and Credit Suisse AG, Cayman Islands Branch, including all exhibits, schedules and annexes thereto, and each fee letter associated therewith (which fee letter may be redacted with respect to fee amounts, pricing caps and other economic terms that could not reasonably be expected to adversely affect the amount or availability of the debt financing contemplated by such commitment letter) regarding the terms of the debt financing to be provided thereby (collectively, the “Commitment Letter”), pursuant to which the parties thereto (other than Parent) have committed to provide, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, debt financing in the amounts set forth therein (the “Debt Financing”), which includes debt securities to be incurred in lieu of the bridge facilities (the “Bridge Financing”), as contemplated by the Commitment Letter. The Commitment Letter is (A) in full force and effect and represents a legal, valid and binding obligation of Parent and, to the Knowledge of Parent, each of the other parties thereto and (B) enforceable in accordance with its terms against Parent and, to the Knowledge of Parent, each of the other parties thereto, in each case except as such enforcement may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other Applicable Laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights or by principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is

No event has occurred which (with or without notice or lapse of time, or both) would or would reasonably be expected to constitute a default or breach or a failure to satisfy a condition precedent on the part of Parent or, to the Knowledge of Parent, any other parties thereto under the Commitment Letter. There are not, and there are not contemplated to be, any side letters or other contracts or arrangements related to the Debt Financing other than as expressly contemplated by the Commitment Letter delivered to the Company at or prior to the execution and delivery of this Agreement.

Parent has fully paid any and all commitment fees or other fees in connection with the Commitment Letter that are payable on or prior to the date hereof, and will pay in full any such amounts due on or before the Closing Date.

Section 7.3 Antitrust Matters; Third Party Consents.

(a) Parent, Merger Sub and the Company shall use their reasonable best efforts to take or cause to be taken all appropriate action, and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated under this Agreement, including using their reasonable best efforts to obtain, or cause to be obtained, all waivers, permits, consents, approvals, authorizations, qualifications and Orders of all Governmental Authorities and officials and parties to Contracts with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that may be or become necessary for the performance of obligations pursuant to this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby. Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any Company Related Party shall have any obligation to agree to amend or modify any Contract or pay any fees, costs or expenses to any third party (which does not include filing or other fees payable to Governmental Authorities, which fees shall be borne exclusively by Parent) in connection with obtaining any such waivers, permits, consents, approvals, authorizations, qualifications or Orders, all of which fees, costs and expenses shall be borne exclusively by Parent. The parties shall cooperate and assist one another in good faith (i) in connection with all actions to be taken pursuant to this Section 7.3(a), including the preparation and making of the filings referred to herein and, if

requested, amending or furnishing additional information hereunder, and (ii) in seeking, as promptly as reasonably practicable, to obtain all such waivers, permits, consents, approvals, authorizations, qualifications and Orders. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement (including Section 7.3(b)), each party agrees to make any filings required to be made pursuant to the HSR Act, the EU Merger Regulation or other applicable foreign, federal, state or supranational antitrust, competition, fair trade or similar Applicable Laws with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement as promptly as reasonably practicable (and in no event later than the dates set forth on Section 7.3(a) of the Company Disclosure Letter unless otherwise mutually agreed by the Company and Parent) and to supply as promptly as reasonably practicable to the appropriate Governmental Authorities any additional information and documentary material that may be requested by such Governmental Authorities pursuant to the HSR Act, the EU Merger Regulation or such other applicable foreign, federal, state or supranational antitrust, competition, fair trade or similar Applicable Laws. All such antitrust filings to be made shall be made in substantial compliance with the requirements of the HSR Act, the EU Merger Regulation and such other applicable foreign, federal, state or supranational antitrust, competition, fair trade or similar Applicable Laws, as applicable.

(b) In furtherance, and without limiting the generality, of the foregoing, the parties shall use their reasonable best efforts to (i) cooperate with and assist each other in good faith to (A) determine, as promptly as reasonably practicable, which filings are required to be made pursuant to the HSR Act, the EU Merger Regulation or other applicable foreign, federal, state or supranational antitrust, competition, fair trade or similar Applicable Laws with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (B) provide or cause to be provided as promptly as reasonably practicable to the other party all necessary information and assistance as any Governmental Authority may from time to time require of such party in connection with obtaining the relevant waivers, permits, consents, approvals, authorizations, qualifications, Orders or expiration of waiting periods in relation to such filings or in connection with any other review or investigation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement by a Governmental Authority pursuant to the HSR Act, the EU Merger Regulation or other applicable foreign, federal, state or supranational antitrust, competition, fair trade or similar Applicable Laws and (C) provide or cause to be provided as promptly as reasonably practicable all assistance and cooperation to allow the other party to prepare and submit any such filings or submissions required to be submitted under the HSR Act, the EU Merger Regulation or other applicable foreign, federal, state or supranational antitrust, competition, fair trade or similar Applicable Laws, including providing to the other party any information that the other party may from time to time require for the purpose of any filing with, notification to, application with, or request for further information made by, any Governmental Authority in respect of any such filing and (ii) (A) cooperate with and assist each other in good faith to devise and implement a joint strategy for making such filings, including the timing thereof, and for obtaining any related antitrust, competition, fair trade or similar clearances, (B) consult in advance with the other party and in good faith take the other party’s views into account regarding the overall strategic direction of obtaining such antitrust, competition, fair trade or similar clearances and (C) consult with the other party prior to taking any material substantive position in any written submissions or, to the extent practicable, in any discussions with Governmental Authorities with respect to such antitrust, competition, fair trade or similar clearances, including any position as to a Divestiture; provided, that, in the event the parties disagree in good faith with respect to any matter described in the foregoing clauses (i) or (ii), as may be applicable, despite the good faith cooperation,

assistance and consultation of the parties as required herein and compliance with their other obligations under this Section 7.3, Parent shall, subject to and without limiting Parent’s obligations under Section 7.3(c) and the other provisions of this Section 7.3, be permitted to implement its strategy and otherwise pursue its position as to which it has (x) previously discussed and consulted with the Company, (y) taken the Company’s views into account in good faith and (z) developed, implemented and pursued with a view to obtaining any necessary antitrust, competition, fair trade or similar clearances as promptly as reasonably practicable (and in any event by the Outside Date); provided, further, that, in such instances where Parent is permitted to implement its strategy and otherwise pursue its position pursuant to the immediately preceding proviso, the Company shall not take a position in any filing, meeting or communication with any Governmental Authority that is contrary to or inconsistent with such strategy and position. Parent shall be permitted to take the lead in all joint meetings and communications with any Governmental Authority in connection with obtaining any necessary antitrust, competition, fair trade or similar clearances; provided, that Parent shall have complied with its obligations under the immediately preceding clause (ii) and the other provisions of this Section 7.3. Each party shall permit the other party to review and discuss in advance, and shall consider in good faith the views of the other party in connection with, any analyses, presentations, memoranda, briefs, written arguments, opinions, written proposals or other materials to be submitted to the Governmental Authorities. Each party shall keep the other apprised of the material content and status of any material communications with, and material communications from, any Governmental Authority with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including promptly notifying the other of any material communication it receives from any Governmental Authority relating to any review or investigation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement under the HSR Act, the EU Merger Regulation or other applicable foreign, federal, state or supranational antitrust, competition, fair trade or similar Applicable Laws. The parties shall, and shall use their reasonable best efforts to cause their respective Affiliates to use their reasonable best efforts to, provide each other with copies of all material, substantive correspondence, filings or communications between them or any of their respective 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 contemplated by this Agreement; provided, however, that materials may be redacted (1) to remove references concerning the valuation of the Company and its Subsidiaries or Parent and its Subsidiaries, as applicable; (2) as necessary to comply with any Contract or Applicable Laws or Orders; and (3) as necessary to address reasonable attorney-client or other privilege or confidentiality concerns.

(c) Parent and the Company shall, and shall cause each of their respective Subsidiaries to, take any and all steps necessary to obtain approval of the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement by any antitrust or competition Governmental Authority, including taking all steps necessary to avoid or eliminate each and every legal impediment under any applicable state, federal, foreign or supranational antitrust, competition, fair trade or similar Applicable Law that may be asserted by any antitrust or competition Governmental Authority or any other Person so as to enable the parties hereto to close the transactions contemplated by this Agreement as promptly as reasonably practicable, and in any event prior to the Outside Date, including proposing, negotiating, accepting, committing to and effecting, by consent decree, hold separate orders, or otherwise, the sale, divestiture or disposition of their Subsidiaries, assets, properties or businesses, the entrance into, or the

amendment, modification or termination of, any Contracts or other arrangements, and other remedies in order to obtain such approvals and to avoid the entry of, and to avoid the commencement of litigation or other Proceedings seeking the entry of, or to effect the dissolution of, any injunction, temporary restraining order or other Applicable Law in any suit or other Proceeding, which could otherwise have the effect of materially delaying or preventing the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. In addition, Parent and the Company shall, and shall cause each of their respective Subsidiaries to, defend through litigation on the merits so as to enable the parties hereto to close the transactions contemplated by this Agreement as promptly as reasonably practicable (and in any event prior to the Outside Date) any claim asserted in court or an administrative or other tribunal by any antitrust or competition Governmental Authority or other Person under applicable antitrust, competition, fair trade or similar Applicable Laws in order to avoid entry of, or to have vacated or terminated, any decree, order or judgment (whether temporary, preliminary or permanent) or other Applicable Law that could prevent or materially delay the Closing from occurring as promptly as reasonably practicable; provided, however, that, for the avoidance of doubt, such litigation shall in no way limit the obligations of the parties to comply with their obligations under the terms of this Section 7.3. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Parent shall not commence any litigation with respect to the matters that are the subject of this Section 7.3 without the prior written consent of the Company (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned). Parent and the Company shall jointly direct and control any litigation described in either of the immediately preceding sentences, with counsel of their own choosing; provided, however, that, without limiting the generality of Section 7.3(b), in the event the parties disagree in good faith with respect to the defense or prosecution of such litigation (or the strategy with respect thereto) despite the good faith cooperation, assistance and consultation of the parties as required herein and compliance with their other obligations under this Section 7.3, Parent shall, subject to and without limiting Parent’s obligations under the other provisions of this Section 7.3, be permitted to implement its strategy and otherwise pursue its position in good faith with respect to such litigation as to which it has (x) consulted in advance with the Company, (y) in good faith taken the Company’s views into account, including with respect to the overall strategic direction of the defense or prosecution of any such litigation and (z) consulted with the Company prior to taking any material substantive positions, making dispositive motions or other material substantive filings or entering into any negotiations concerning such litigation; provided, that such strategy is designed to obtain approval of the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement by any antitrust or competition Governmental Authority as promptly as reasonably practicable, and in any event prior to the Outside Date; provided, further, that, in such instances where Parent is permitted to implement its strategy and otherwise pursue its position, the Company shall not take a position that is contrary to or inconsistent with Parent’s strategy and position in any filing, meeting or communication with any Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Agreement, (i) none of Parent and any of its Subsidiaries and Affiliates shall be required to agree to any sale, transfer, license, separate holding, divestiture or other disposition of, or to any prohibition of or any limitation on the acquisition, ownership, operation, effective control or exercise of full rights of ownership, or other modification of rights in respect of, any assets or businesses or other remedy (each, a “Divestiture”) that are not conditioned on the consummation of the Merger and (ii) the Company, only with the consent of Parent (in connection with satisfying the foregoing obligations), such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned

or delayed, shall agree to any Divestiture of any of its assets or the assets of any of its Subsidiaries so long as such Divestiture is conditioned on the consummation of the Merger. In the event of any conflict between subsections (a), (b) or (c) of this Section 7.3, the provisions of this subsection (c) of this Section 7.3 shall, which respect to the matters addressed in this subsection (c) of this Section 7.3, supersede the provisions of subsection (a) and (b) of this Section 7.3.

(d) Each party shall and shall cause its respective Subsidiaries to respond as promptly as reasonably practicable to any inquiries or requests for information and documentary material received from any Governmental Authority in connection with any antitrust or competition matters related to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. The Company and its Subsidiaries shall not, but Parent may, if in its good faith judgment it determines (after consulting in advance with the Company and in good faith taking the Company’s views into account) that the taking of such action would enhance the likelihood of obtaining any necessary antitrust, competition, fair trade or similar clearance as promptly as reasonably practicable and in any event by the Outside Date, extend any waiting period or agree to refile under the HSR Act, the EU Merger Regulation or any other applicable state, federal, foreign or supranational antitrust, competition, fair trade or similar Applicable Laws.

(e) Each of the Company and Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts to (i) ensure that no State Takeover Law is or becomes applicable to this Agreement, the Merger or any of the other transactions contemplated hereby and (ii) if any State Takeover Law becomes applicable to this Agreement, the Merger or any of the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, ensure that the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement may be consummated as promptly as reasonably practicable on the terms contemplated by this Agreement and otherwise to minimize the effect of such Applicable Law on this Agreement, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

as a result of such disclosure, and upon the advice of counsel, to have the effect of causing the waiver of any privilege (including the attorney-client and work product privileges) (provided, that if a joint defense agreement or other commercially reasonable action would maintain such privilege, then the Company and its Affiliates shall use commercially reasonable efforts to enter into, at the sole cost and expense of Parent, or cause to be entered into, a joint defense agreement on customary terms with Parent or take such other commercially reasonable action if so reasonably requested by Parent, at the sole cost and expense of Parent, so that this clause (iii) does not apply), (iv) produce any information that is not generated in the Ordinary Course of Business or (v) furnish any information that could be harmful to the Company’s competitive position or otherwise detrimental to the Company if the Closing does not occur (provided, that the Company shall attempt, in good faith, to make reasonable alternative arrangements as may be reasonably necessary to produce the relevant information in a way that would not be so harmful or detrimental). Subject to Section 7.5(a), Parent shall hold, and shall cause its Affiliates and Representatives to hold, in confidence all such information on the terms and subject to the conditions contained in the Non-Disclosure and Exclusivity Agreement, dated as of March 25, 2014, by and between Parent and the Company (the “NDA”) and the Joint Defense and Confidentiality Agreement, dated as of April 1, 2014, by and among the Company, Parent and their respective counsel (collectively, the “Confidentiality Agreement”). All access and investigation pursuant to this Section 7.4 shall be coordinated through the General Counsel of the Company or the designee thereof. No access or information provided pursuant to this Section 7.4 or information provided or received by any Person pursuant to this Agreement will affect any of the representations or warranties of the Company contained in this Agreement or the conditions hereunder to the obligations of Parent nor, for the avoidance of doubt, shall the provisions of this Section 7.4 in any way be deemed to limit the obligations set forth in Section 7.10(d) (it being understood that in complying with its obligations under Section 7.10(d), the Company shall not be required to provide Parent or any of its Representatives with access other than as set forth in this Section 7.4). The Company shall be entitled to have its Representatives present at all times during any access pursuant to this Section 7.4. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 7.4 or any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, no party nor any of its Representatives shall (A) contact or have any discussions with any of the other party’s employees below the level of Senior Vice President (or, if no such position exists with respect to any particular area of such other party’s organization, its equivalent), unless in each case an employee of such other party above the level of Senior Vice President has (1) made such employee available or (2) given written consent to such contact or discussions, (B) contact or have any discussions with any of the customers, distributors, sales representatives, vendors, suppliers, licensees, sub-licensees, landlords or sub-landlords or tenants or sub-tenants of any other party or its Subsidiaries regarding such party or its Subsidiaries or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, without prior written consent of the other party or (C) perform any onsite procedure or investigation (including any onsite environmental investigation or study) that involves physical disturbance or damage to any asset or property or any portions thereof.

The terms of the Confidentiality Agreement shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with its terms; provided, that, from and after the Effective Time,

any Confidential Information (as defined in the Confidentiality Agreement) to the extent relating exclusively to the businesses of the Company and its Subsidiaries (other than any Confidential Information of the holders of the shares of Company Common Stock) shall be deemed to be Confidential Information of Parent for all purposes under the Confidentiality Agreement. If this Agreement is, for any reason, terminated prior to the Effective Time, the Confidentiality Agreement shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with its terms. If Paragraph 7 of the NDA would expire at any time prior to the Effective Time, the term of Paragraph 7 of the NDA shall not expire but shall instead be automatically extended without any further action by the Company or Parent until the earlier of (x) the Effective Time and (y) the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Article IX (but subject to Section 9.3).

(b) None of the parties shall, and shall use their respective reasonable best efforts to cause their respective Affiliates not to, issue or make, or permit to be issued or made, any press release or other public announcement, statement or disclosure relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, other than (i) with the prior written consent of the other parties hereto (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) or (ii) as required by any Applicable Law, any Governmental Authority or the rules and regulations of any applicable securities exchange upon prior notice to the other parties hereto (or requested by any Governmental Authority or applicable securities exchange); provided, that the disclosing party required to issue or make, or permitted to be issued or made, any such press release or other public announcement, statement or disclosure shall promptly notify the other party and allow such other party a reasonable opportunity to comment on such press release or other public announcement, statement or disclosure (or, in the case of any of the foregoing required to be made by an Affiliate of such party, such party shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause such Affiliate to promptly notify the other party and allow such party a reasonable opportunity to comment). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Parent and the Company hereby acknowledge and agree that the final form and content of any such required press release or other public announcement, statement or disclosure shall be at the reasonable discretion of the disclosing party.

Promptly after the date of this Agreement, the Company shall file a Registration Withdrawal Request on Form RW with the Commission with respect to the Registration Statement and, if deemed advisable by the Company, make a filing with the Commission on Form 8-K and other appropriate filings with the Commission in connection therewith.

Section 7.7 Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

(a) Parent and Merger Sub agree that all rights to exculpation, indemnification and advancement of expenses for acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Effective Time, whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the Effective Time (including in respect of any matters arising in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby), existing as of the date of this Agreement in favor of the current, former or future directors, officers, or employees, as the case may be (each, a “D&O Indemnified Person”) of the Company or its Subsidiaries as provided in their respective Organizational Documents shall survive the Merger and shall continue in full force and effect. For a period of six (6) years after the Effective Time, (i) Parent shall not, and shall not permit the Surviving Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries to, amend, repeal or modify any provision in the Surviving Corporation’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ Organizational Documents relating to the exculpation, indemnification or advancement of expenses of any D&O Indemnified Person with respect to acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Effective Time, whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the Effective Time (including in respect of any matters arising in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby), unless and only to the extent required by Applicable Law, it being the intent of the parties that all such D&O Indemnified Persons shall continue to be entitled to such exculpation, indemnification and advancement of expenses to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law and that no change, modification or amendment of such documents or arrangements may be made that will adversely affect any such Person’s right thereto without the prior written consent of that Person and (ii) Parent shall, and shall cause the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries to, maintain any indemnification agreements of the Company and its Subsidiaries with any D&O Indemnified Person existing prior to the date of this Agreement.

(b) In addition to the other rights provided for in this Section 7.7 and not in limitation thereof, for six (6) years from and after the Effective Time, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to (i) indemnify and hold harmless (and exculpate and release from any liability to Parent or the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective Subsidiaries) the D&O Indemnified Persons against all D&O Expenses (as defined below) and all losses, claims, damages, judgments, fines, penalties and amounts paid in settlement (“D&O Losses”) in respect of any threatened, pending or completed Proceeding, based on, arising out of, relating to or in connection with the fact that such Person is or was a director, officer, employee or other fiduciary of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or of any other entity arising out of or relating to acts or omissions occurring or existing (or alleged to have occurred or existed) at or prior to the Effective Time (including in

respect of acts or omissions in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby) (a “D&O Indemnifiable Claim”) and (ii) advance, interest-free, to such D&O Indemnified Persons all D&O Expenses incurred in connection with any D&O Indemnifiable Claim promptly after receipt of statements therefor and upon receipt of a customary undertaking by such D&O Indemnified Person to repay such D&O Expenses so advanced if it is determined by a final non-appealable judgment or a court of competent jurisdiction that such D&O Indemnified Person was or is not entitled to be indemnified under Applicable Law. Advance payment of D&O Expenses in connection with any D&O Indemnifiable Claims shall continue until such D&O Indemnifiable Claim is disposed of or all judgments, Orders, decrees or other rulings in connection with such D&O Indemnifiable Claim become final and nonappealable and are fully and finally satisfied. For the purposes of this Section 7.7, “D&O Expenses” shall include reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, expert fees, arbitrator and mediator fees, and all other reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs, charges and expenses paid or incurred in connection with investigating, defending, being a witness in or otherwise participating in (including on appeal), or preparing to defend, to be a witness in or participate in, any D&O Indemnifiable Claim, but shall exclude losses, claims, damages, judgments, fines, penalties and amounts paid in settlement (which items are included in the definition of D&O Losses).

(c) The Company shall obtain prior to the Effective Time at Parent’s sole cost and expense, a policy of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance and fiduciary liability insurance on behalf of the persons currently covered by the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ directors’ and officers’ liability insurance and fiduciary liability insurance policies with respect to acts or omissions occurring or existing (or alleged to have occurred or existed) at or prior to the Effective Time (including in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby) for six (6) years from the Effective Time with terms, conditions, retentions and levels of coverage (including as coverage relates to deductibles and exclusions) no less favorable, in the aggregate, as the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ existing directors’ and officers’ liability insurance and fiduciary liability insurance policies; provided, however, that if the annual premium for such insurance at any time during such period shall exceed three hundred percent (300%) of the per annum rate of premium paid by the Company and its Subsidiaries as of the date hereof for such insurance, then Parent shall only be obligated to provide such coverage as shall then be available at an annual premium equal to three hundred percent (300%) of such rate.

(d) In the event that Parent or the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and is not the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers or conveys fifty percent (50%) or more of its properties and other assets to any Person (including by liquidation, dissolution or assignment for the benefit of creditors or similar action), then, and in each such case, Parent or the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, shall cause proper provision to be made so that the applicable successors and assigns or transferees expressly assume the obligations set forth in this Section 7.7.

(e) The Surviving Corporation shall be a full indemnitor of first resort, shall be required to advance the full amount of all D&O Expenses incurred by a D&O Indemnified Person and shall be liable for the full amount of all D&O Losses to the extent legally permitted and as required, without regard to any rights a D&O Indemnified Person may have against any other Company Related Party, any insurer providing insurance coverage under an insurance policy issued to any other Company Related Party or otherwise.

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or otherwise, the rights and benefits of each D&O Indemnified Person under this Section 7.7 shall not be terminated or modified in any manner as to adversely affect any D&O Indemnified Person without the prior written consent of such D&O Indemnified Person. The provisions of this Section 7.7 are intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each D&O Indemnified Person referred to in Section 7.7(a), his or her heirs and his or her executors and administrators, each of whom is an intended third-party beneficiary of this Section 7.7, and are in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other rights, including rights to indemnification or contribution that any such Person may have by Contract or otherwise. The provisions of this Section 7.7 shall survive the consummation of the Merger.

Section 7.8 Employee Matters.

(a) As of the Closing Date, and for a one (1) year period following the Closing Date, Parent will provide or cause the Surviving Corporation to provide to those employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries who remain employed by the Surviving Corporation (the “Continuing Employees”) (A) salary and base wages that are at least equal to the salary and base wages provided to the Continuing Employees immediately prior to the Closing Date and (B) bonus opportunity and benefits (other than equity compensation benefits) that, taken as a whole, are comparable in the aggregate to those provided to similarly situated employees of Parent. For one (1) year following the Closing Date, Parent shall provide the Continuing Employees with severance benefits of the Company in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth on Section 7.8(a) of the Company Disclosure Letter. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein is intended to limit the right of Parent or the Company or any of their respective Subsidiaries to terminate the employment of any employee at any time.

(b) For purposes of determining eligibility and vesting (but not for accrual of benefits, other than with respect to severance, vacation or paid time-off entitlement) under all employee benefit plans, programs, policies, contracts, fringe benefits or arrangements of Parent or its Affiliates (including, after the Closing Date, the Surviving Corporation) providing benefits after the Closing Date to any Continuing Employee (all such plans, “Parent Benefit Plans”), Parent shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, give each Continuing Employee full credit for such Continuing Employee’s service with the Company and its Affiliates (as well as service with any predecessor employer, to the extent service with the predecessor employer is recognized by the Benefit Plans immediately prior to the Closing Date) to the same extent recognized by the Company or its Affiliates immediately prior to the Closing Date, except to the extent such recognition would result in duplication of benefits. Parent shall waive, or cause to be waived, any pre-existing condition limitations, exclusions, actively at work requirements and waiting periods under any Parent Benefit Plan that is a welfare benefit plan in which Continuing Employees (and their dependents) will be eligible to participate from and after the Closing Date, except with respect to evidence of insurability requirements under any life insurance and disability plans. Parent shall recognize, or cause to be recognized, the dollar amount of all co-payments, deductibles and similar expenses incurred by each Continuing Employee (and his or

her eligible dependents) under the Benefit Plans during the year in which the Closing Date occurs for purposes of satisfying such year’s deductible and co-payment limitations under the relevant welfare benefit plans in which they will be eligible to participate from and after the Closing Date.

(c) Immediately following the Closing, Parent shall pay, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to pay, Continuing Employees a pro-rata bonus under the annual incentive plans listed in Section 7.8(c) of the Company Disclosure Letter for the fiscal year in which the Closing occurs based on achievement of pro-rata performance targets for the number of days that have elapsed in such fiscal year as of the Closing Date and with the bonus amounts to be the pro-rata portion of a full annual bonus based on the number of days that have elapsed in such fiscal year as of the Closing Date.

(d) The parties acknowledge and agree that, as promptly as reasonably practicable after the date hereof, Parent and the Company shall negotiate in good faith mutually acceptable terms and conditions of an employee retention plan and a sales force retention plan with a total target payout of approximately Seventy Five Million Dollars ($75,000,000) in the aggregate, which plans shall be funded and paid by Parent at the Closing in the aggregate amount of Forty Four Million Dollars ($44,000,000) (such aggregate Forty Four Million Dollars ($44,000,000) amount, the “Retention Plan Amount”); provided, that notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Company shall be permitted to provide for (i) payments of Four Million Dollars ($4,000,000) in respect of a senior management bonus plan, (ii) payments of approximately Eight Million Dollars ($8,000,000) in respect of an employee bonus plan and (iii) payouts under an employee retention plan and sales force retention plan of up to Thirty One Million Dollars ($31,000,000) in excess of and in addition to the Retention Plan Amount, in which event any such payments described in the foregoing clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) shall reduce the Closing Date Cash to the extent such amounts have not been paid prior to the Closing and such payments to the extent made shall not be deemed an Expense Amount for purposes of determining the Aggregate Adjusted Cash Consideration.

(e) Nothing expressed or implied herein shall (i) confer upon any past or present employee of the Company and its Subsidiaries, or his or her representatives, beneficiaries, successors and assigns, any rights or remedies of any nature, including, any rights to employment or continued employment with Parent, the Company or any of their respective Subsidiaries or any of their respective successors or Affiliates, (ii) be construed to prohibit the Parent from amending or terminating any employee benefit program or Parent Benefit Plan or (iii) constitute or be construed as an amendment of any employee benefit program or any Parent Benefit Plan.

Section 7.9 Affiliate Arrangements. All Contracts between the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company, on the one hand, and any of their respective Affiliates, on the other hand, other than Contracts (a) solely between the Company and one or more of its Subsidiaries or between or among its Subsidiaries or (b) set forth on Section 7.9 of the Company Disclosure Letter, shall be terminated at and as of the Closing Date, and all obligations and liabilities thereunder shall have been satisfied, other than such provisions, obligations and liabilities that expressly survive such termination, which provisions shall survive such termination.

Section 7.10 Financing.

(a) Parent and Merger Sub shall use their respective reasonable best efforts to arrange and consummate the Financing on the terms and conditions described in the Commitment Letter at or prior to the Closing (or on terms more favorable in the aggregate to Parent and Merger Sub) including by: (i) maintaining in effect and enforcing the Commitment Letter and complying with their respective obligations thereunder; (ii) negotiating, entering into and delivering the definitive agreements with respect to the Debt Financing (the “Definitive Financing Agreements”) on the terms and conditions contained in the Commitment Letter and, to the extent such definitive agreements are executed and delivered prior to the Effective Time, maintaining in effect and enforcing such definitive agreements; (iii) satisfying (or, if deemed advisable by Parent, seeking the waiver of) on a timely basis all terms, covenants and conditions set forth in the Commitment Letter and the Definitive Financing Agreements applicable to Parent and Merger Sub that are within their control; (iv) participating in and assisting with the preparation of rating agency presentations and meetings with rating agencies; and (v) upon satisfaction of all of the conditions precedent under Section 8.1 and Section 8.2 (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver of those conditions), consummating or causing the consummation of the Financing including by enforcing their rights under the Commitment Letter and the Definitive Financing Agreements to the extent necessary at such time to fund the Required Amount.

(b) Parent shall apprise the Company of material developments relating to the Financing and shall give the Company prompt notice of any material adverse change with respect to such Financing. Without limiting the foregoing, Parent agrees to notify the Company promptly, and in any event within one (1) Business Day the same comes to the Knowledge of Parent, if at any time prior to the Closing Date (i) the Commitment Letter or any of the commitments with respect to the Debt Financing thereunder or any Definitive Financing Agreement, as applicable, shall expire or be terminated for any reason, (ii) for any reason, all or a portion of the Debt Financing becomes unavailable or (iii) any Financing Source or any other Person that is a party to any Commitment Letter breaches, defaults, terminates or repudiates any provisions thereunder or threatens in writing to do any of the foregoing. Parent and Merger Sub shall not amend, alter or replace, or agree to amend, alter or replace, the Commitment Letter in any manner that would (A) impose new or additional conditions or otherwise expand, amend or modify any of the conditions to the receipt of the Financing, (B) reduce the amount of cash proceeds from the Financing available to fund the Required Amount, in each case, in a manner that would materially adversely affect the ability of Parent, Merger Sub or their respective Affiliates to enforce their respective rights against the other parties to the Commitment Letter or the Definitive Financing Agreements or reasonably be expected to prevent or materially impair or delay the ability of Parent to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, in each case with respect to the foregoing sub-clauses (A) and (B) without the prior written consent of the Company (it being understood and agreed that Parent and Merger Sub may amend the Commitment Letter solely to add lenders, lead arrangers, bookrunners, syndication agents or similar entities who had not executed the Commitment Letter as of the date of this Agreement and to reflect assignments and replacements of lenders in accordance with the terms of the syndication provisions of the Commitment Letter with respect to the Debt Financing, provided that no such addition, assignment or replacement would reasonably be expected to prevent or materially impair or delay the ability of Parent to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement).

(c) If any portion of the Debt Financing becomes unavailable on the terms and conditions contemplated in the Commitment Letter for any reason, Parent and Merger Sub shall use their reasonable best efforts to arrange to obtain alternative financing from alternative sources in an amount sufficient, when taken together with the available cash of Parent, to fund the Required Amount and pay any related fees and expenses earned, due and payable as of the Closing Date (the “Alternate Financing”) and to obtain, and, if obtained, will provide the Company with true, correct and complete copies of, any new financing commitment that provides for at least the same amount of financing as such Commitment Letter as originally issued, to the extent needed to fund the Required Amount (the “Alternate Commitment Letter”). In the event any Alternate Financing is obtained and an Alternate Commitment Letter is entered into in accordance with this Section 7.10(c), (i) any reference in this Agreement to “Debt Financing” shall mean the debt financing contemplated by the Commitment Letter as modified pursuant to clause (ii) below, and (ii) any reference in this Agreement to the “Commitment Letter” (or defined terms that use such phrase) shall be deemed to include the Commitment Letter to the extent not superseded by an Alternate Commitment Letter, at the time in question and any Alternate Commitment Letter to the extent then in effect. In furtherance of and not in limitation of the foregoing, in the event that (i) any portion of the Financing structured as a capital markets financing is unavailable, regardless of the reason therefor and (ii) all closing conditions contained in Section 8.1 and Section 8.2 have been satisfied or waived (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied or waived at the Closing, provided that such conditions are capable of being satisfied as of such day assuming the Closing was to occur on such day), then Parent or Merger Sub shall take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary to consummate, or cause to be consummated, and shall use, or cause to be used, the proceeds of the Bridge Financing in lieu of such capital markets financing no later than one (1) Business Day following the satisfaction or waiver of the applicable conditions set forth in clause (ii) above to consummate the Closing when Parent and Merger Sub are required to do so pursuant to Section 2.2; it being understood that such obligations to use the Bridge Financing (including any alternative bridge financing contemplated by any Alternate Financing obtained in accordance with this Agreement) shall exist without regard to the then market conditions or other general economic conditions, including the interest rate and cost of any portion of the Financing structured as a capital markets financing and regardless of whether or not it is commercially reasonable to do so.

(d) From and after the date of this Agreement, and through the earlier of the Closing and the date on which this Agreement is terminated in accordance with Article IX, the Company shall, and the Company shall cause each of its Subsidiaries and each of its and their respective senior management, advisors and other Representatives to, use its respective reasonable best efforts to provide all cooperation reasonably requested by Parent to assist Parent in the arrangement of any Debt Financing or any capital markets financing undertaken in lieu of or in replacement of all or a portion of such Debt Financing (the “Bond Financing” and, together with the Debt Financing, the “Financing”) for the purposes of financing the Merger Consideration, any repayment or refinancing of debt in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and any other amounts required to be paid by Parent or Merger Sub in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and all related fees

and expenses of Parent and Merger Sub (it being acknowledged and agreed by Parent and Merger Sub that, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the receipt of such Financing is not a condition to the consummation of the Merger or any of the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement), including (A) participating in a reasonable number of meetings, presentations, road shows, sessions with rating agencies, Financing Arrangers and prospective Financing Arrangers and drafting sessions, and participating in reasonable and customary due diligence, (B) furnishing Parent and the financial institutions providing or arranging the Debt Financing and the Bond Financing, including any underwriters, initial purchasers or placement agents participating in the Financing (collectively, the “Financing Arrangers”) with such customary financial and other pertinent information regarding the Company and its Subsidiaries as may be reasonably requested to structure, arrange, syndicate and consummate the Debt Financing and the Bond Financing, including (1) GAAP audited consolidated balance sheets and related statements of income, stockholders’ equity and cash flows of the Company for the three most recent fiscal years ended at least ninety (90) days prior to the Closing Date (or such shorter period as may be required by Commission regulations applicable to the Financing, but no shorter than sixty (60) days); (2) GAAP unaudited consolidated and (to the extent available) consolidating balance sheets and related statements of income, stockholders’ equity and cash flows of the Company for each subsequent fiscal quarter ended at least forty-five (45) days prior to the Closing Date (or such shorter period as may be required by Commission regulations applicable to the Financing, but no shorter than thirty (30) days); and (3) all financial statements of the Company and financial data of the Company, in each case covering the periods specified in clauses (1) and (2) above, of the type required in a Bond Financing by Parent by Regulation S-X and Regulation S-K under the Securities Act and of the type and form customarily included in capital markets transactions similar to the Bond Financing (such information described in this clause (B) collectively, the “Required Information”), (C) assisting Parent and the Financing Arrangers in the preparation of (1) offering documents, private placement memoranda, bank information memoranda, registration statements, prospectuses and similar documents required for the Debt Financing and the Bond Financing, (2) customary pro forma financial statements reflecting the Merger and the Financing (it being understood and agreed that any financial statements referenced in this Section 7.10 shall in each case meet the requirements of Regulation S-X under the Securities Act and all other accounting rules and regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder applicable to a registration statement under the Securities Act on Form S-1) and (3) materials for rating agency presentations, business projections and similar documents in connection with the Debt Financing and the Bond Financing, (D) reasonably cooperating with the marketing efforts for the Debt Financing and the Bond Financing, (E) furnishing Parent and the Financing Arrangers with customary payoff letters relating to the repayment (or cash collateralization) of outstanding obligations under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities and the ABL Credit Facilities of the Company or its Subsidiaries that are to be refinanced at Closing, subject to receipt of the funds therefor from Parent, (F) using its reasonable efforts to cause its independent accountants to provide assistance and cooperation in the Debt Financing and the Bond Financing, including (1) participating in a reasonable number of drafting sessions and accounting due diligence sessions, (2) providing any necessary customary consents to use their audit reports relating to the Company and (3) providing any necessary customary “comfort” (including “negative assurance comfort”) letters, (G) providing the Financing Sources and their respective legal, financial and accounting advisors, access to the properties, assets and personnel of the Company and its

Subsidiaries in accordance with Section 7.4 and (H) furnishing Parent and any Financing Sources promptly, and in any event at least three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, with all documentation and other information required by any Governmental Authority with respect to the Debt Financing and the Bond Financing under applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including the USA PATRIOT Act of 2001, as amended, that has been reasonably requested by Parent or any of the Financing Sources at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the Closing Date. The Company will notify Parent of any material error, mistake or omission in the Required Information or the other information provided pursuant to this Section 7.10 that it becomes aware of and if requested by Parent will use its reasonable efforts to promptly correct such error, mistake or omission.

Parent shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its Subsidiaries and their respective representatives from and against any and all losses, damages, claims, costs or expenses suffered or incurred by any of them in connection with the arrangement of the Financing and any information used in connection therewith (other than arising from any information provided by the Company or its Affiliates or its or their respective Representatives). On behalf of the Surviving Corporation, at or prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall pay by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account or accounts designated in the relevant payoff letters, as described in Section 7.11(b), the amounts specified in such payoff letters (including the Debt Payoff Amount and all Breakage Costs related thereto).

(b) As promptly as reasonably practicable after the Form S-4 is declared effective under the Securities Act, the Company shall cause the Consent Solicitation/Prospectus to be mailed to the stockholders of the Company, and the Company shall otherwise take all actions necessary, proper or advisable in accordance with Applicable Laws and the Organizational Documents of the Company to seek the Company Stockholder Approval by written consent and solicit the Company Stockholder Approval by the date that is no later than five (5) Business Days (or such later date as approved by Parent) after the date the Form S-4 is declared effective under the Securities Act (the “Stockholder Approval Deadline”). The Company shall deliver to Parent copies of any written stockholder consents received by the Company as contemplated by this Section 7.16(b).

(c) In the event that the Company does not receive effective written consents from its stockholders sufficient to obtain the Company Stockholder Approval in accordance with Section 7.16(b) on or prior to the Stockholder Approval Deadline, upon the request of Parent,

(i) the Company shall prepare, with the cooperation and assistance of Parent and its counsel and accountant, and cause to be filed a proxy statement relating to the Company Stockholders’ Meeting (the “Proxy Statement”) and (ii) Parent shall prepare, with the cooperation and assistance of the Company and its counsel and accountant, and cause to be filed with the Commission, a post-effective amendment to the Form S-4 (the “Amended Form S-4”) in which the Proxy Statement shall be included as a prospectus (the “Proxy Statement/Prospectus”). Each of Parent and the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to have the Amended Form S-4 declared effective under the Securities Act as promptly as reasonably practicable after such filing, to keep the Amended Form S-4 effective as long as is necessary to consummate the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby and to have the Proxy Statement cleared by the Commission and its staff under the Exchange Act as promptly as reasonably practicable after filing.

(d) As promptly as reasonably practicable after the Amended Form S-4 is declared effective under the Securities Act, the Company shall cause the Proxy Statement/Prospectus to be mailed to the stockholders of the Company and the Company shall take all action necessary in accordance with Applicable Law and the Organizational Documents of the Company to duly give notice of, convene and hold a meeting of the stockholders of the Company (the “Company Stockholders’ Meeting”) as promptly as reasonably practicable following the date the Amended Form S-4 is declared effective under the Securities Act, for the sole purpose of seeking the Company Stockholder Approval and shall, subject to Section 7.16(h) use its reasonable best efforts to obtain the Company Stockholder Approval. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Company may adjourn or postpone the Company Stockholders’ Meeting to the extent necessary to ensure that any necessary supplement or amendment to the Proxy Statement is provided to its stockholders in advance of a vote on the adoption of this Agreement, or, if, as of the time for which the Company Stockholders’ Meeting is originally scheduled, there are insufficient shares of Company Common Stock represented (either in person or by proxy) to constitute a quorum necessary to conduct the business of such meeting; provided, that such adjournment or postponement shall not exceed ten (10) Business Days. The Company shall ensure that the Company Stockholders’ Meeting is called, noticed, convened, held and conducted, and that all proxies solicited in connection with the Company Stockholders’ Meeting are solicited in compliance with Applicable Law and the Organizational Documents of the Company.

(e) Each of Parent and the Company shall furnish all information concerning it, and provide such other assistance, as may reasonably be requested by the other party in connection with the preparation, filing and distribution of the Form S-4 and the Consent Solicitation Statement/Prospectus contained therein or the Amended Form S-4 and the Proxy Statement/Prospectus contained therein, as applicable. All filings by the Company with the Commission in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, including the Consent Solicitation Statement and the Proxy Statement, as applicable, and, in each case, any amendment or supplement thereto, and all mailings to the stockholders of the Company in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby shall be subject to the prior review and comment of Parent. All filings by Parent with the Commission in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, including the Form S-4 or the Amended Form S-4, as applicable, and, in each case, any amendment or supplement thereto, shall be subject to the prior review and comment of the Company.

(f) Each of Parent and the Company shall (i) as promptly as reasonably practicable notify the other of (A) the receipt of any comments from the Commission and all other written correspondence and oral communications with the Commission relating to the Consent Solicitation Statement/Prospectus or the Form S-4 or the Proxy Statement/Prospectus or the Amended Form S-4 (including the time when the Form S-4 or the Amended Form S-4, as applicable, is declared effective under the Securities Act and the issuance of any stop order or suspension of qualifications of the Parent Common Stock issuable in connection with the Merger for offering or sale in any jurisdiction) and (B) any request by the Commission for any amendment or supplements to the Consent Solicitation Statement/Prospectus or the Form S-4 or the Proxy Statement/Prospectus or the Amended Form S-4 for additional information with respect thereto and (ii) as promptly as reasonably practicable supply each other with copies of (A) all correspondence between it or any of its Representatives, on the one hand, and the Commission, on the other hand, with respect to the Consent Solicitation Statement/Prospectus, the Form S-4, the Proxy Statement/Prospectus, the Amended Form S-4 or the Merger, as applicable, and (B) all Orders of the Commission relating to the Form S-4 or the Amended Form S-4 or the shares of Parent Common Stock included in the Merger Consideration. Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts to have any such Order lifted, reversed or otherwise terminated. In addition to and without limiting the generality of the provisions of Section 7.16(e), (1) prior to filing or mailing the Form S-4 or the Amended Form S-4 (or any amendment or supplement thereto) or responding to any comments of the Commission with respect thereto, Parent (x) shall provide the Company an opportunity to review and comment on such document or response (including the proposed final version of such document or response) and (y) shall consider in good faith all comments reasonably proposed by the Company and (2) prior to filing or mailing the Consent Solicitation Statement/Prospectus or the Proxy Statement/Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) or responding to any comments of the Commission with respect thereto, the Company (x) shall provide Parent an opportunity to review and comment on such document or response (including the proposed final version of such document or response) and (y) shall consider in good faith all comments reasonably proposed by Parent. Each of the Company and Parent shall also take any other action (other than qualifying to do business in any jurisdiction in which it is not now so qualified) required to be taken under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any applicable foreign or state securities or “blue sky” laws and the rules and regulations thereunder in connection with the Merger and the issuance of the shares of Parent Common Stock included in the Merger Consideration.

(g) If at any time prior to the Effective Time any information relating to the Company, Parent or Merger Sub, or any of their respective Affiliates, directors or officers, is discovered by the Company, Parent or Merger Sub, which is required to be set forth in an amendment or supplement to the Consent Solicitation Statement/Prospectus or the Form S-4 or the Proxy Statement/Prospectus or the Amended Form S-4, so that none of such documents would include any misstatement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, the party which discovers such information shall promptly notify the other parties and an appropriate amendment or supplement describing such information shall be promptly filed with the Commission by Parent in the case of the Form S-4 or the Amended Form S-4 or the Company in the case of the Consent Solicitation Statement/Prospectus or the Proxy Statement/Prospectus and, to the extent required by Applicable Law, disseminated to the stockholders of the Company.

(h) The Company shall, through the Board of Directors of the Company, recommend to its stockholders that they provide the Company Stockholder Approval and shall include such recommendation in the Form S-4 or the Amended Form S-4, as applicable, unless the Company determines in good faith, after consultation with the Company’s outside counsel, that the failure to withdraw, amend or modify its recommendation would reasonably be likely to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties to the stockholders of the Company.

(i) Parent shall prepare and submit to the NYSE a listing application covering the shares of Parent Common Stock to be issued in the Merger and shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause such shares of Parent Common Stock to be authorized for listing on the NYSE, subject to official notice of issuance, prior to the Closing Date.

The Company shall give prompt notice to Parent, and Parent shall give prompt notice to the Company, of any notice or other communication from any Governmental Authority in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or from any Person alleging that the consent of such Person is or may be required in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Section 7.18 Expenses. Except as (i) as set forth in the immediately following sentence or (ii) as otherwise expressly provided herein, all expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be paid by the party incurring such expenses. If the Closing occurs, Parent shall bear (a) the costs, fees and expenses incurred by it and Merger Sub in connection with the negotiation and preparation of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, including legal, accounting, brokerage and other fees and expenses, (b) the Sponsor Fee Amount (as defined in Section 7.18(g)(ii) of the Company Disclosure Letter), (c) the Financing Expenses, (d) any and all Breakage Costs, (e) the Retention Plan Amount, (f) the reasonable and customary out-of-pocket third-party costs, fees and expenses (including reasonable, customary and documented attorneys’ fees and expenses) associated with the preparation of the Registration Statement and the Company’s proposed initial public offering (the “IPO”) incurred by the Company and its Subsidiaries to date as set forth on Section 7.18 of the Company Disclosure Letter and (g) the reasonable and customary other out-of-pocket third-party costs, fees and expenses of the Company and its Subsidiaries incurred in connection with the negotiation and preparation of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, including reasonable, customary and documented third-party legal, accounting, brokerage and other fees and expenses (the aggregate amount of the costs, fees and expenses described in clauses (c), (f) and (g) of this Section 7.18 to the extent paid by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries prior to the Closing, the “Expense Amount”); provided, that in no event shall the fees and expenses of the Persons set forth in Section 7.18(g)(i) of the Company Disclosure Letter exceed the amounts to which it is entitled pursuant to the engagement letter referenced in Section 5.24; provided, further, that in the event such third-party legal, accounting, brokerage and other professional advisory fees and expenses described in clause (g) above exceed the amount set forth in set forth in Section 7.18(g)(ii) of the Company Disclosure Letter in the aggregate, the Company shall (i) as promptly reasonably practicable notify Parent in writing of such occurrence, which notice shall set forth a reasonably detailed itemization of such fees and expenses to the extent reasonably available and (ii) from time to time, upon the reasonable request of Parent (but in no event more than twice in any calendar month), provide to Parent as promptly as reasonably practicable after each such

request, a reasonably detailed itemization to the extent reasonably available of the then-current amount of such fees and expenses. For the avoidance of doubt, any itemization of such costs, fees and expenses provided by the Company to Parent shall not, in and of itself, limit Parent’s obligation to bear such costs, fees and expenses in accordance with this Section 7.18. Any unpaid costs, fees and expenses incurred by the Company and to be borne by Parent pursuant to this Section 7.18 shall be paid by Parent at the Effective Time by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account or accounts designated in writing by the Company no later than two (2) Business Days prior to the Effective Time.

(b) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary (but subject to and without limitation of Section 10.12 and the proviso to this sentence), the Company agrees that in the event that this Agreement is terminated in accordance with Section 9.1 and the Reverse Termination Fee is payable pursuant to Section 9.2(a) and the Reverse Termination Fee is paid to the Company pursuant to Section 9.2 and accepted by the Company, (i) the payment of such Reverse Termination Fee, together with any amounts payable pursuant to the last three sentences of Section 7.10(d) and Section 9.2(c), shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Company Related Parties against the Parent Related Parties and (ii) in no event will the Company Related Parties be entitled to recover any other money damages or any other remedy based on a claim in law or equity with respect to (A) the loss suffered as a result of any failure of the Merger to be consummated, (B) any breach of, or failure to perform, any representation, warranty, agreement or obligation under this Agreement, (C) the termination of this Agreement and (D) any other losses, damages, obligations or liabilities suffered as a result of or under this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and, subject to and without limitation of Section 10.12 and the proviso to this sentence, upon payment to the Company of the Reverse Termination Fee in accordance with this Section 9.2, together with any amounts payable pursuant to the last three sentences of Section 7.10(d) and Section 9.2(c), and acceptance of the Reverse Termination Fee and such amounts by the Company, no Parent Related Parties shall have any further liability or obligation to the Company Related Parties relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby; provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, irrespective of whether the Reverse Termination Fee has been paid, the Company shall be entitled to pursue, and Parent and Merger Sub shall be responsible for any and all money damages (or, to the extent the Reverse Termination Fee is received by the Company, the excess, if any, of such money damages over such Reverse Termination Fee) arising out of, resulting from or relating to Parent’s or Merger Sub’s Intentional Breach of this Agreement, including Section 7.3 and, in any determination of such damages, the court shall be permitted to award the Company and its stockholders, if proven, their respective Benefit of the Bargain Damages.

(c) Each of the Company, Parent and Merger Sub acknowledges that (i) the agreements contained in this Section 9.2 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (ii) the Reverse Termination Fee is not a penalty, but is liquidated damages, in a reasonable amount that will compensate the Company and its Affiliates in the circumstances in which such fee is paid, other than in the case of an Intentional Breach as contemplated in Section 9.2(b) and subject to and without limitation of Section 10.12, for the efforts and resources expended and opportunities foregone while negotiating this Agreement and in reliance on this Agreement and on the expectation of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, which amount would otherwise be impossible to calculate with precision and (iii) without these agreements, the parties would not enter into this Agreement; accordingly, if Parent fails to timely pay the Reverse Termination Fee when due pursuant to this Section 9.2, (1) Parent shall pay to the Company interest on such amount at the prime rate as published in the Wall Street Journal in effect on the date such payment was required to be made through the date such payment was actually received and (2) in order to obtain such payment, the Company commences a Proceeding with results in a judgment of all or a portion of the Reverse Termination Fee, Parent shall pay the Company’s costs and expenses (including attorney’s fees and expenses of enforcement) in connection with such Proceeding.

Except (a) that the D&O Indemnified Persons and their respective heirs, executors, administrators and personal representatives shall be express third-party beneficiaries of Section 7.7 and entitled to enforce such section directly, (b) for the right of the stockholders of the Company and the holders of Company Options and Company Stock-Based Awards to receive payment in accordance with Article IV and, subject to Section 9.2, for the right of the Company, on behalf of the stockholders of the Company and the holders of Company Options and Company Stock-Based Awards, to pursue damages in the event of Parent’s or Merger Sub’s breach of this Agreement (which right is hereby acknowledged and agreed by Parent and Merger Sub and, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to contrary, in the event of a breach of this Agreement by Parent or Merger Sub, such damages are agreed and acknowledged by Parent and Merger Sub to include, if proven, in addition to any and all damages to the Company and its Subsidiaries, in the circumstance where this Agreement has been terminated, the benefit of the bargain lost by the holders of Company Common Stock, Company Options or Company Stock-Based Awards, including the loss of expected premium offered to such holders and taking into consideration all relevant matters, including other combination opportunities and the time value of money (collectively, the “Benefit of the Bargain Damages”)), (c) that Cleary Gottlieb Steen & Hamilton LLP (“Cleary Gottlieb”) shall be an express third-party beneficiary of Section 10.14 and entitled to enforce such section directly, (d) that the Released Persons shall be express third-party beneficiaries of Section 10.15 and entitled to enforce such section directly and (e) that the Company Related Parties and Parent Related Parties shall be express third-party beneficiaries of Section 10.16 and entitled to enforce such section directly, nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any Person not a party to this Agreement any rights or remedies of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement. This Agreement may not be assigned by any party hereto without the prior written consent of each of the other parties; provided, that after the Effective Time, Parent may assign its rights hereunder to an Affiliate thereof so long as Parent remains liable for performance under this Agreement. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing provisions of this Section 10.6 to the contrary, each Financing Source in connection with the Debt Financing is an express third party beneficiary of Sections 10.1, 10.9(c), 10.11, 10.13 and this Section 10.6 to the extent such sections are applicable to such Financing Source and may enforce such sections directly.

Section 10.7 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts (delivery of which may occur via facsimile or e-mail), each of which shall be binding as of the date first written above, and, when delivered, all of which shall constitute one and the same instrument. A facsimile signature or electronically scanned copy of a signature shall constitute and shall be deemed to be sufficient evidence of a party’s execution of this Agreement, without necessity of further proof. Each such copy shall be deemed an original, and it shall not be necessary in making proof of this Agreement to produce or account for more than one such counterpart.

Section 10.8 No Prejudice; Survival. The parties hereto acknowledge that the terms and language of this Agreement were the result of negotiations among the parties and, as a result, there shall be no presumption that any ambiguities in this Agreement shall be resolved against any particular party. Any controversy over construction of this Agreement shall be decided without regard to events of authorship. None of the representations, warranties, covenants, obligations or other agreements in this Agreement shall survive the Effective Time; provided, however, that the portion of this sentence preceding this proviso shall not limit any covenant, obligation or agreement of any party which by its express terms contemplates performance after the Effective Time.

Section 10.9 Governing Law; Consent to Jurisdiction.

(a) This Agreement and all matters arising out of or relating hereto, including its validity, construction and interpretation, shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to the laws as to choice or conflict of laws.

Each party hereby consents to and accepts service of process in any such proceeding in any manner permitted by Delaware law or if served by registered mail addressed to it at its address provided in Section 10.5. Each party agrees that a final judgment in any such action, claim, cause of action or suit (in contract, tort or otherwise), inquiry, proceeding or investigation shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Applicable Law.

Nothing in this Agreement shall affect or eliminate any right to serve process in any other manner permitted by Applicable Laws.

Section 10.10 Waiver. At any time prior to the Effective Time, Parent, on the one hand, and the Company, on the other, may (a) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the Company in the case of Parent, or of Parent or Merger Sub, in the case of the Company, (b) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties contained herein or in any document delivered pursuant hereto of the Company in the case of Parent, or of Parent or Merger Sub, in the case of the Company, and (c) waive compliance with any of the agreements or conditions contained herein of the Company, in the case of Parent, or of Parent or Merger Sub, in the case of the Company. Any agreement on the part of a party hereto

to any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed on behalf of such party. No failure or delay by any party in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall act as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege hereunder.

Section 10.11 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. TO THE EXTENT NOT PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAW WHICH CANNOT BE WAIVED, EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, AND COVENANTS THAT IT WILL NOT ASSERT (WHETHER AS PLAINTIFF, DEFENDANT OR OTHERWISE), ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, CLAIM, CAUSE OF ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING (IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR BASED UPON THIS AGREEMENT, ANY DEBT FINANCING (OR AGAINST ANY FINANCING SOURCE) OR THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH OR RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY. THE PARTIES ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THIS SECTION 10.11 CONSTITUTES A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT UPON WHICH THEY ARE RELYING AND WILL RELY IN ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT, AND ANY OTHER AGREEMENTS RELATING HERETO OR CONTEMPLATED HEREBY. ANY PARTY HERETO MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OR A COPY OF THIS SECTION 10.11 WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF EACH SUCH PARTY TO THE WAIVER OF ITS RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY. EACH PARTY CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (A) NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF ANY ACTION, CLAIM, CAUSE OF ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING, SEEK TO ENFORCE ANY OF THE WAIVERS CONTAINED IN THIS SECTION 10.11, (B) IT UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF SUCH WAIVERS, AND (C) IT MAKES SUCH WAIVERS VOLUNTARILY.

Section 10.12 Enforcement of Agreement. The parties’ rights in this Section 10.12 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and each party hereby waives any objections to any remedy referred to in this Section 10.12. For the avoidance of doubt, the parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any provision of this Agreement was not performed in accordance with its specific terms or was otherwise breached or the Merger was not consummated, and that money damages would not be an adequate remedy, even if available. It is accordingly agreed that, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary (but subject to and without limitation of the last sentence of this Section 10.12), the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent or remedy breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof (including the parties’ obligations to consummate the Merger, and Parent’s obligation to pay, and the right to receive the Merger Consideration by the stockholders of the Company and the holders of Company Stock-Based Awards and the Per Option Consideration by the holders of Company Options, as applicable) and to any further equitable relief, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. In the event any party seeks any remedy referred to in this Section 10.12, such party shall not be required to prove damages or obtain, furnish, post or provide any bond or other security in connection with or as a condition to obtaining any such remedy. For the avoidance of doubt, it is hereby acknowledged

and agreed that (a) the Company shall be entitled to seek specific performance or other equitable remedies to cause Parent or Merger Sub to enforce, including against anticipatory breach, the obligation of the Financing Sources to fund the Debt Financing under the Commitment Letter and (b) in the event that any Financing Source initiates any litigation against Parent or Merger Sub with respect to the Debt Financing, or advises Parent or Merger Sub that it intends not to proceed with the Debt Financing in violation of the terms of the Commitment Letter, the Company shall be entitled to specific performance or other equitable remedies to require Parent or Merger Sub to take enforcement action, including seeking specific performance, to cause the Financing Sources to provide such Debt Financing. While the Company may pursue both a grant of specific performance pursuant to this Section 10.12 and payment of the Reverse Termination Fee pursuant to Section 9.2(a), together with any amounts payable pursuant to the last three sentences of Section 7.10(d) and Section 9.2(c), following termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 9.1, only in the event the Company accepts payment of the Reverse Termination Fee, together with any amounts payable pursuant to the last three sentences of Section 7.10(d) and Section 9.2(c), following the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 9.1 and payment of the Reverse Termination Fee by Parent in accordance with Section 9.2(a), together with any amounts payable pursuant to the last three sentences of Section 7.10(d) and Section 9.2(c), shall the Company not be entitled to specifically enforce the terms and provisions of this Agreement pursuant to this Section 10.12.

Section 10.13 Financing Sources. The Company and its Affiliates hereby agree that (a) in no event shall the Financing Sources have any liability or obligation to the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of its Affiliates relating to or arising out of this Agreement, the Debt Financing, any commitment letters or engagement letters relating thereto or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, (b) in no event shall the Company or any of its Affiliates or stockholders seek or obtain any other damages of any kind against any Financing Source (including consequential, special, indirect or punitive damages) and (c) in no event shall the Company or any Company Related Party have any liability or obligation to any of the Financing Sources, in the case of each of the foregoing sub-clauses (a), (b) and (c), relating to or arising out of this Agreement, the Debt Financing, any commitment letters or engagement letters relating thereto or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby. The provisions of this Section 10.13 shall inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, each Financing Source, its Affiliates and their respective successors and permitted assigns, each of which is hereby intended to be an express third party beneficiary of this Section 10.13. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 10.13, following the consummation of the Merger, such provisions will not limit the rights of the parties to the Financing under the Definitive Financing Agreements.

Section 10.14 Waiver of Conflicts. Recognizing that Cleary Gottlieb has acted as legal counsel to the Company, its Subsidiaries, certain of the direct and indirect holders of shares of Company Common Stock and their Affiliates prior to date hereof, and that Cleary Gottlieb intends to act as legal counsel to certain of the direct and indirect holders of shares of Company Common Stock and their Affiliates (which will no longer include the Company and its Subsidiaries) after the Closing, each of Parent, Merger Sub and the Company hereby waives, on its own behalf and agrees to cause its Affiliates, the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries to waive, any conflicts that may arise in connection with Cleary Gottlieb representing any direct or indirect holders of the Company Common Stock or their Affiliates after the Closing as such representation may relate to Parent, Merger Sub, the Company, the Surviving Corporation and its

Subsidiaries or the transactions contemplated hereby. In addition, all communications involving attorney-client confidences between direct and indirect holders of Company Common Stock, the Company and its Subsidiaries and their respective Affiliates, on the one hand, and Cleary Gottlieb, on the other hand, relating to the negotiation, documentation and consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby shall be deemed to be attorney-client confidences that belong solely to the direct and indirect holders of Company Common Stock and their respective Affiliates (and not the Company, the Surviving Corporation or their respective Subsidiaries). Accordingly, the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries shall not have access to any such communications or to the files of Cleary Gottlieb relating to such engagement from and after the Effective Time. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, from and after the Effective Time, (a) the direct and indirect holders of Company Common Stock and their respective Affiliates (and not the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries) shall be the sole holders of the attorney-client privilege with respect to such engagement, and none of the Surviving Corporation or its Subsidiaries shall be a holder thereof, (b) to the extent that files of Cleary Gottlieb in respect of such engagement constitute property of the client, only the direct and indirect holders of Company Common Stock and their respective Affiliates (and not the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries) shall hold such property rights and (c) Cleary Gottlieb shall have no duty whatsoever to reveal or disclose any such attorney-client communications or files to the Surviving Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries by reason of any attorney-client relationship between Cleary Gottlieb and the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or otherwise.

Section 10.15 Release. As of the Closing, Parent, on its own behalf and on behalf of its Affiliates, the Company and its Affiliates (each, a “Releasing Person”), hereby releases and forever discharges each of the holders of shares of Company Common Stock and their respective Affiliates, successors and assigns, and each other Company Related Party (in each case, solely in their capacities as such) to the extent such holder of shares of Company Common Stock duly executes and delivers to Parent prior to the Closing a Letter of Transmittal containing a release of Parent and its Affiliates, including the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries, successors and assigns and each other Parent Related Party (provided that the parties acknowledge and agree that such release shall not contain a release of any rights or obligations to the extent arising under any provision of this Agreement that survives the Closing in accordance with the last sentence of Section 10.8, the Stockholders Agreement and any other Contract entered into by Parent, on the one hand, and the Company, the Principal Stockholder or any of their respective Affiliates, on the other hand, in connection with the Merger, including the Confidentiality Agreement, or any liability for fraud) (each, a “Released Person”) from all debts, demands, causes of action, suits, covenants, torts, damages and any and all claims, defenses, offsets, judgments, demands and liabilities whatsoever, of every name and nature, both at law and in equity, known or unknown, accrued or unaccrued, which have been or could have been asserted against any Released Person, which any Releasing Person has or ever had, which arises out of or in any way relates to events, circumstances or actions occurring, existing or taken prior to or as of the Closing Date in respect of matters relating to the Company and its Subsidiaries (each, a “Released Claim”); provided, that the parties acknowledge and agree that this Section 10.15 does not apply to and shall not constitute a release of any rights or obligations to the extent arising under any provision of this Agreement that survives the Closing in accordance with the last sentence of Section 10.8, the Stockholders Agreement and any other Contract entered into by Parent, on the one hand, and the Company, the Principal Stockholder or any of their respective Affiliates, on the other hand, in connection with the Merger, including the Confidentiality Agreement, or any liability for fraud.

Section 10.16 Non-Recourse. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the obligations and liabilities of the Company under this Agreement and all other obligations, liabilities, claims, losses, damages, or Proceedings (whether in law or in equity and whether based on contract, in tort or otherwise) of or against the Company that may be based on, arise out of or relate to this Agreement (including any breach or alleged breach hereof), the negotiation, execution or performance hereof or the transactions contemplated hereby or in respect of any other document or theory of law or equity or in respect of any oral or written representations made or alleged to be made in connection herewith or therewith, whether at law or equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise, may only be made against the Company in its capacity as a party to this Agreement and will be without recourse of any kind to any former, current or future direct or indirect stockholders, equity holders, controlling persons, portfolio companies, management companies, directors, officers, employees, general or limited partners, members, managers, trustees, attorneys, agents, Representatives or Affiliates of the Company or any heir, executor, administrator, successor or assign of any of the foregoing, or any former, current or future direct or indirect stockholder, equity holder, controlling person, portfolio company, management company, director, officer, employee, general or limited partner, member, manager, trustee, attorney, agent, Representative or Affiliate of any of the foregoing or any heir, executor, administrator, successor or assign of any of the foregoing (other than, in each case, the Company and its Subsidiaries) (each of the foregoing, a “Company Related Party”). Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the obligations and liabilities of Parent under this Agreement and all other obligations, liabilities, claims, losses, damages, or Proceedings (whether in law or in equity and whether based on contract, in tort or otherwise) of or against Parent that may be based on, arise out of or relate to this Agreement (including any breach or alleged breach hereof), the negotiation, execution or performance hereof or the transactions contemplated hereby or in respect of any other document or theory of law or equity or in respect of any oral or written representations made or alleged to be made in connection herewith or therewith, whether at law or equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise, may only be made against Parent and will be without recourse of any kind to any former, current or future direct or indirect stockholders, equity holders, controlling persons, management companies, directors, officers, employees, general or limited partners, members, managers, trustees, attorneys, agents, Representatives or Affiliates of Parent or any heir, executor, administrator, successor or assign of any of the foregoing, or any former, current or future direct or indirect stockholder, equity holder, controlling person, management company, director, officer, employee, general or limited partner, member, manager, trustee, attorney, agent, Representative or Affiliate of any of the foregoing or any heir, executor, administrator, successor or assign of any of the foregoing (other than, in each case, Parent and its Subsidiaries) (each of the foregoing, a “Parent Related Party”).
