Parent, each of the Merger Subs and the Company are referred to individually as a “Party” and collectively as the “Parties.”

W I T N E S S E T H:

WHEREAS, it is proposed that Purchaser shall commence an exchange offer (such exchange offer, as it may be extended, amended or supplemented from time to time as permitted under this Agreement, the “Offer”) to acquire any and all of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class A Common Stock”) and Class B common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class B Common Stock” and together with the Class A Common Stock, the “Company Common Stock”), for consideration comprised of: (i) $9.375 per share of Company Common Stock in cash without interest and subject to any withholding of Taxes required by applicable Law (the “Cash Consideration”), and (ii) the Stock Consideration (the Stock Consideration, together with the Cash Consideration, in each case received in the First Merger (as defined below), and subject to any potential adjustment as set forth herein, the “Transaction Consideration”);

WHEREAS, it is also proposed that, as soon as practicable following the consummation of the Offer, the Parties wish to effect the acquisition of the Company by Parent through (a) the merger of Purchaser with and into the Company, with the Company surviving the merger as the surviving entity (the “First Merger”) and (b) immediately following the First Merger, subject to the terms of this Agreement, the merger of the Company, as the surviving entity of the First Merger, with and into Merger Sub 2, with Merger Sub 2 being the surviving entity (the “Second Merger” and together with the First Merger, the “Mergers”);

WHEREAS, the First Merger will be governed by Section 251(h) of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”) and will be effected as soon as practicable following the consummation of the Offer upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein and the Second Merger will be governed by Section 267 of the DGCL and Section 18-209(i) of the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act (the “DLLCA”) and will be effected as soon as practicable following the consummation of the First Merger upon, and subject to, the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein;

WHEREAS, the board of directors of the Company (the “Company Board”) (i) unanimously (with the exception of one director, who recused himself from the vote) determined that the terms of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (the “Transactions”), including the Offer and the First Merger, are fair to, and in the best interests of, the Company and its stockholders, (ii) determined that it is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders, and declared it advisable, to enter into this Agreement, (iii) approved the execution

and delivery by the Company of this Agreement, the performance by the Company of its covenants and agreements contained herein and the consummation of the Offer, the Mergers and the other Transactions upon the terms and subject to the conditions contained herein and (iv) resolved to recommend that the holders of shares of Company Common Stock accept the Offer and tender their shares of Company Common Stock to Purchaser pursuant to the Offer (the “Company Recommendation”);

WHEREAS, the board of directors or sole member, as applicable, of Parent and each of the Merger Subs have approved this Agreement and determined that this Agreement and the Transactions, including the Offer, the Mergers and the issuance of Parent QVC Series A Stock in the Offer and the First Merger, are advisable and fair to, and in the best interests of, Parent and each of the Merger Subs and its stockholders or members, as applicable;

WHEREAS, the board of directors of Purchaser has (i) unanimously approved and declared advisable this Agreement and the Transactions, including the Offer, the First Merger, and the Tender and Support Agreement, in accordance with the DGCL, (ii) determined that it is in the best interests of Purchaser and Merger Sub 2, its sole stockholder, that Purchaser enter into this Agreement and consummate the Offer, the First Merger, and the Tender and Support Agreement, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, (iii) resolved to submit the approval of the adoption of this Agreement and the Transactions, including, without limitation, the Offer, the First Merger, and the Tender and Support Agreement, to Merger Sub 2, as the sole stockholder of Purchaser, and (iv) resolved to unanimously recommend to Merger Sub 2 that Merger Sub 2 approve the adoption of this Agreement and the Transactions, including, without limitation, the Offer, the First Merger, and the Tender and Support Agreement.

WHEREAS, concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, and as a condition to the willingness of Parent and each Merger Sub to enter into this Agreement, certain Persons are entering into a Tender and Support Agreement with Parent, a form of which is attached as Exhibit A hereto (the “Tender and Support Agreement”);

WHEREAS, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, it is intended that the Offer and the Mergers, taken together, shall qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and that this Agreement shall be and hereby is adopted as a “plan of reorganization” for purposes of Sections 354 and 361 of the Code;

WHEREAS, as an inducement for Parent and each of the Merger Subs to enter into this Agreement, concurrently with the execution and delivery hereof, certain employees of the Company are entering into letters relating to the ongoing employment of such employees with Parent, the Company or one of their Affiliates (collectively, the “Employment Arrangements”), in each case to become effective at the First Effective Time; and

WHEREAS, Parent, the Company and each Merger Sub desire to make certain representations, warranties, covenants and agreements specified herein in connection with this transactions contemplated hereby and also to prescribe various conditions to the Offer.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and premises contained in this Agreement and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties to this Agreement agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

THE OFFER AND THE MERGERS

Section 1.1 The Offer.

(a) Parent shall cause Purchaser to, and Purchaser shall, commence (within the meaning of Rule 14d-2 under the Exchange Act) the Offer as soon as reasonably practicable after the date of this Agreement, but in no event later than the fifteenth (15^th) Business Day after the date of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser shall not be required to commence the Offer if the Company shall not be prepared to file with the SEC immediately following commencement of the Offer, and to disseminate to holders of shares of Company Common Stock, the Schedule 14D-9. The date on which Purchaser commences the Offer, within the meaning of Rule 14d-2 under the Exchange Act, is referred to in this Agreement as the “Offer Commencement Date.” The Offer shall be made by means of an offer to purchase (the “Offer to Purchase”) that is disseminated to any and all of the holders of shares of Company Common Stock and contains the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and in Annex A. In the Offer, each share of Company Common Stock accepted by Purchaser in accordance with the terms of the Offer shall, subject to the adjustments set forth in Section 2.1(d) and Section 2.1(g), be exchanged for the right to receive the Transaction Consideration. Subject to the prior satisfaction of the Minimum Tender Condition and the satisfaction, or waiver by Parent or Purchaser, of the other Offer Conditions (to the extent such waiver is permitted by Section 1.1(c)), after the expiration of the Offer (as it may extended in accordance with Section 1.1(d)), Purchaser shall (and Parent shall cause Purchaser to) accept for payment all shares of Company Common Stock validly tendered (and not withdrawn) pursuant to the Offer (excluding shares of Company Common Stock tendered pursuant to guaranteed delivery procedures that have not yet been delivered for settlement or satisfaction of such guarantee) as soon as practicable after Purchaser is permitted to do so under applicable Law (the “Acceptance Time”), and promptly (within the meaning of Section 14e-1(c) promulgated under the Exchange Act) pay for all shares of Company Common Stock that are validly tendered and not validly withdrawn in the Offer. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Parent shall provide or cause to be provided to Purchaser on a timely basis the funds and shares of Parent QVC Series A Stock necessary to pay for any shares of Company Common Stock that Purchaser becomes obligated to purchase pursuant to the Offer; provided, however, that without the prior written consent of the Company, Purchaser shall not accept for payment or pay for any shares of Company Common Stock if, as a result, Purchaser would acquire less than the number of shares of Company Common Stock necessary to satisfy the Minimum Tender Condition. The consideration in the Offer payable in respect of each share of Company Common Stock validly tendered and not withdrawn in the Offer shall be paid net to the holder thereof in cash and shares of Parent QVC Series A Stock, subject to reduction for any applicable withholding taxes payable in respect thereof. The Company shall register (and shall instruct its transfer agent to register) the transfer of the shares of Company Common Stock accepted for payment by Purchaser effective immediately after the Acceptance Time.

(b) The obligation of Purchaser to accept for exchange (and the obligation of Parent to cause Purchaser to accept for exchange) shares of Company Common Stock validly tendered (and not withdrawn) pursuant to the Offer shall be subject only to:

(i) the condition (the “Minimum Tender Condition”) that there shall have been validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) prior to the expiration of the Offer that number of shares of Company Common Stock which, upon the consummation of the Offer (for the avoidance of doubt, assuming that the shares of Class B Common Stock validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) will convert to shares of Class A Common Stock at the time of the consummation of the Offer), when added to any shares of Company Common Stock owned by Purchaser, would represent at least a majority of the voting power of the sum of (x) the aggregate voting power of the shares of Company Common Stock outstanding immediately after the consummation of the Offer, plus (y) the aggregate voting power of the shares of Company Common Stock issuable to holders of Company Options from which the Company has received notices of exercise prior to the consummation of the Offer (and as to which shares of Company Common Stock have not yet been issued to such exercising holders of Company Options) (excluding, for purposes of determining whether a sufficient number of shares have been tendered in the Offer to satisfy the Minimum Tender Condition, shares of Company Common Stock tendered pursuant to guaranteed delivery procedures that have not yet been “received,” as such term is defined in Section 251(h) of the DGCL, by the depositary for the Offer pursuant to such procedures); and

(ii) the other conditions set forth in Annex A (such other conditions, together with the Minimum Tender Condition, the “Offer Conditions”).

(c) Purchaser expressly reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to waive or make any other changes to the terms and conditions of the Offer; provided, however, that without the prior written consent of the Company, neither Parent nor Purchaser shall: (i) amend, waive or modify any of the conditions set forth in clauses (a), (h)(i), (h)(ii), (i) or (j) of Annex A (provided, that Parent shall (and shall cause Purchaser to) waive the conditions set forth in clause (h)(i) and (h)(ii) of Annex A upon the written request of the Company); or (ii) change the Offer to (A) change the form or amount of consideration to be delivered by Purchaser pursuant to the Offer; provided, however, that Parent or Purchaser may increase the amount of such consideration (irrespective of form) in good faith so long as such increase is not for the purpose of delaying the Acceptance Time, provided that in no event shall such increase reduce the Initial Exchange Ratio, (B) change the number of shares of Company Common Stock to be purchased in the Offer, (C) impose conditions to the Offer in addition to the Offer Conditions or amend or modify any of the existing Offer Conditions, (D) except as provided in Section 1.1(d), extend the expiration time of the Offer beyond the initial expiration time of the Offer or (E) otherwise amend the Offer in a manner that is adverse (other than in an immaterial or de minimis way) to the holders of Company Common Stock.

(d) The Offer shall initially be scheduled to expire at 12:00 midnight, New York City time, on the date that is twenty (20) Business Days following the Offer Commencement Date (calculated as set forth in Rule 14d-1(g)(3) and Rule 14e-1(a) under the Exchange Act) (such initial expiration time and date, or such subsequent time and date to which the expiration of the Offer is extended pursuant to and in accordance with this Agreement, the

“Expiration Date”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, but subject to the Parties’ respective termination rights under Section 7.1, (i) if, at the time as of which the Offer is scheduled to expire, any Offer Condition is not satisfied and has not been waived, then Purchaser shall (and Parent shall cause Purchaser to) extend the Offer on one or, if necessary, more occasions, for additional successive periods of up to ten (10) Business Days per extension (with the length of such periods to be determined by Parent), until all Offer Conditions are satisfied or validly waived in order to permit the Acceptance Time to occur; provided, however, that in no event shall Purchaser or Parent be required or permitted to extend the Offer to a date later than the Outside Date, other than (A) any such extension requested by Parent or Purchaser and consented to by the Company, (B) any such extension requested by the Company, to the extent Parent or Purchaser would be prohibited from terminating this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1(b)(iii) or (C) any such extension requested by Parent or Purchaser, to the extent the Company would be prohibited from terminating this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1(b)(iii); and (ii) Purchaser shall (and Parent shall cause Purchaser to) extend the Offer from time to time for any period required by any applicable Laws or any rule, regulation, interpretation or position of the SEC or the staff of the SEC or the Nasdaq applicable to the Offer; provided, however, that in no event shall Purchaser or Parent be required, or permitted, to extend the Offer to a date later than the Outside Date, other than (A) any such extension requested by Parent or Purchaser and consented to by the Company, (B) any such extension requested by the Company, to the extent Parent or Purchaser would be prohibited from terminating this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1(b)(iii) or (C) any such extension requested by Parent or Purchaser, to the extent the Company would be prohibited from terminating this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1(b)(iii). For the avoidance of doubt, if, at the Expiration Date of the Offer, all of the Offer Conditions have been satisfied or waived in writing by Parent or Purchaser and this Agreement has not otherwise been terminated in accordance with its terms, Purchaser shall (and Parent shall cause Purchaser to) promptly accept for exchange, and deliver the Transaction Consideration for, all shares of Company Common Stock validly tendered and not validly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer in accordance with this Agreement.

(e) Schedule TO; Offer Documents; Form S-4

(i) As soon as practicable on the Offer Commencement Date, Parent and Purchaser shall:

(A) file with the SEC a Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO (together with all amendments and supplements thereto, and including all exhibits thereto, the “Schedule TO”) with respect to the Offer, which Schedule TO shall contain as an exhibit the Offer to Purchase and forms of the letter(s) of election and transmittal and summary advertisement, if any, and other customary ancillary documents, in each case, in respect of the Offer (together with all amendments and supplements thereto, the “Offer Documents”);

(B) deliver a copy of the Schedule TO, including all exhibits thereto, to the Company at its principal executive offices in accordance with Rule 14d-3(a) promulgated under the Exchange Act;

(C) give telephonic notice of the information required by Rule 14d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act, and mail by means of first class mail a copy of the Schedule TO, to the Nasdaq in accordance with Rule 14d-3(a) promulgated under the Exchange Act; and

(D) subject to the Company’s compliance with Section 1.2(b), cause the Form S-4 and the Offer Documents to be disseminated to all holders of shares of Company Common Stock as and to the extent required by the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder and with all other applicable Laws.

(ii) Concurrently with the filing of the Offer Documents, Parent shall file with the SEC a registration statement on Form S-4 to register under the Securities Act, the offer and sale of Parent QVC Series A Stock pursuant to the Offer (the “Form S-4”). The Form S-4 will include a preliminary prospectus containing the information required under Rule 14d-4(b) promulgated under the Exchange Act.

(iii) Parent and Purchaser shall (i) from and after commencement of the Offer, have the Form S-4 declared effective under the Securities Act as promptly as practicable after its filing, (ii) ensure that the Form S-4 complies in all material respects with the applicable provisions of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, and (iii) keep the Form S-4 effective for so long as necessary to complete the First Merger.

ARTICLE II

TREATMENT OF SECURITIES

Section 2.1 Treatment of Capital Stock.

(a) Treatment of Purchaser Shares. At the First Effective Time, each issued and outstanding share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Purchaser (the “Purchaser Shares”) shall be automatically converted into and become one (1) fully paid and nonassessable share of Class A Common Stock of the First Surviving Corporation and shall constitute the only outstanding shares of capital stock of the First Surviving Corporation. From and after the First Effective Time, all certificates representing Purchaser Shares shall be deemed for all purposes to represent the number of shares of Class A Common Stock of the First Surviving Corporation into which they were converted in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence.

(b) Cancellation of Company Common Stock. Any outstanding or issued shares of Company Common Stock that is owned by Parent, the Merger Subs or the Company, immediately prior to the First Effective Time (collectively, the “Excluded Shares”), shall automatically be canceled and shall cease to exist, and no cash, stock or other consideration shall be delivered or deliverable in exchange therefor.

(c) Treatment of Company Common Stock. At the First Effective Time, by virtue of the First Merger and without any action on the part of the Parties or holders of any securities of the Company or of Purchaser, each share of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the First Effective Time (other than Excluded Shares and Dissenting Shares) shall automatically be converted into (i) the right to receive cash in an amount, without interest, equal to the Cash Consideration, subject to adjustment in accordance with and pursuant to Section 2.1(d), and (ii) the right to receive 0.3098 (subject to adjustment as provided in Section 2.1(g), the “Initial Exchange Ratio” and as it may be further adjusted in accordance with and pursuant to Section 2.1(d), the “Adjusted Exchange Ratio”) validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares of Parent QVC Series A Stock (the “Stock Consideration”) (it being understood that if Purchaser or Parent changes the Offer pursuant to, and in compliance with, Section 1.1(c), then the Stock Consideration and Cash Consideration that holders of shares of Company Common Stock will be entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 2.1(c) by virtue of the First Merger as a result of such change shall be adjusted accordingly). As of the First Effective Time and upon the conversion thereof in accordance with this Section 2.1(c), all such shares of Company Common Stock shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and shall cease to exist, and each holder of a certificate representing any such shares of Company Common Stock (a “Certificate”) or shares of Company Common Stock held in book-entry form (“Book-Entry Shares”) shall cease to have any rights with respect to such shares of Company Common Stock, except, in all cases, the right to receive the Transaction Consideration without any interest. The right of any holder of any share of Company Common Stock to receive the Cash Consideration shall be subject to and reduced by the amount of any withholding that is required under applicable Tax Law.

(d) Appraisal Adjustment. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, to preserve the qualification of the Offer and the Mergers, taken together, as a “reorganization” under the Code, if, as of the Acceptance Time, the Total Stock Consideration (as defined below), determined without regard to any shares of Parent QVC Series A Stock issued pursuant to clause (x), would be less than 43% of the Aggregate Consideration (as defined below), determined without regard to any shares of Parent QVC Series A Stock issued pursuant to clause (x), then (x) the Initial Exchange Ratio shall be increased by that number of shares (or fraction of a share) of Parent QVC Series A Stock such that, after such adjustment and the adjustment contemplated by clause (y), the Total Stock Consideration will be equal to 43% of the Aggregate Consideration, and (y) the Cash Consideration shall be correspondingly decreased by an amount equal to the increased number of shares (or fraction of a share) of Parent QVC Series A Stock determined in clause (x) multiplied by the Parent Share Signing Price; provided, however, that the Aggregate Consideration prior to the adjustments set forth in this sentence shall be equal to the Aggregate Consideration following the adjustments set forth in this sentence. For purposes of this Section 2.1(d), (i) “Total Stock Consideration” means the product of the Parent Share Signing Price multiplied by the aggregate number of shares of Parent QVC Series A Stock to be issued pursuant to the Offer and the First Merger in respect of shares of Company Common Stock (including for this purpose any fractional shares of Parent QVC Series A Stock without regard to Section 2.2(j), (ii) “Total Cash Consideration” means the aggregate cash consideration to be paid pursuant to the Offer and the First Merger in respect of shares of Company Common Stock, plus the Appraisal Cash Amount, and (iii) “Aggregate Consideration” means the sum of the Total Cash Consideration and the Total Stock Consideration.

(e) Effect of Second Merger. At the Second Effective Time, by virtue of the Second Merger and without any action on the part of any of the Parties or holders of any securities of the First Surviving Corporation or of Merger Sub 2, (i) each member interest of Merger Sub 2 issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Second Effective Time shall remain outstanding as a member interest of the Surviving Company and (ii) all shares of common stock of the First Surviving Corporation shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and shall cease to exist without any consideration being payable therefor.

(f) Company Stock Awards. The Company shall take all requisite action so that:

(i) Company Stock Options. At the First Effective Time, each option to acquire shares of Company Common Stock (a “Company Stock Option”) granted under the Company’s 2009 Equity Incentive Plan or the Company’s 2013 Equity Plan (the “Company Stock Plans”) that is outstanding immediately prior to the First Effective Time (after giving effect to any vesting that is contingent upon the completion of the Mergers) shall be converted into and become an option to purchase Parent QVC Series A Stock, and Parent shall assume such Company Stock Option converted as provided below in accordance with substantially the same terms as those of the applicable Company Stock Plan and the stock option notice and agreement by which such Company Stock Option is evidenced, as in effect as of the date of this Agreement (all such Company Stock Options are hereafter referred to as “Assumed Options”). All rights to purchase shares of Company Common Stock under Assumed Options shall thereupon be converted into rights to purchase Parent QVC Series A Stock as set forth herein. Accordingly,

from and after the First Effective Time: (A) each Assumed Option may be exercised solely for shares of Parent QVC Series A Stock; (B) the number of shares of Parent QVC Series A Stock subject to each Assumed Option shall be determined by multiplying the number of shares of Company Common Stock that were subject to such Assumed Option immediately prior to the First Effective Time by the Conversion Ratio (as defined below), and rounding the resulting number down to the nearest whole number of shares of Parent QVC Series A Stock; (C) the per share exercise price for the shares of Parent QVC Series A Stock issuable upon exercise of each Assumed Option shall be determined by dividing the per share exercise price of share of Company Common Stock subject to such Assumed Option, as in effect immediately prior to the First Effective Time, by the Conversion Ratio, and rounding the resulting exercise price up to the nearest whole cent; and (D) any restrictions on the exercise of any Assumed Option shall continue in full force and effect and the term, exercisability, vesting schedule and other provisions of such Assumed Option shall otherwise remain unchanged as a result of the assumption of such Assumed Option; provided, however, that: (1) each Assumed Option shall, in accordance with its terms, be subject to further adjustment as appropriate to reflect any stock split, division or subdivision of shares, stock dividend, issuance of bonus shares, reverse stock split, consolidation of shares, reclassification, recapitalization or other similar transaction with respect to Parent QVC Series A Stock subsequent to the First Effective Time; (2) the compensation committee of the Parent Board shall succeed to the authority and responsibility of the Company Board or any committee thereof with respect to each Assumed Option; and (3) each Assumed Option shall be subject to administrative procedures consistent with those in effect under Parent’s equity compensation plan. For the purpose of this Section 2.1(f), the “Conversion Ratio” means an amount equal to (aa) the Initial Exchange Ratio (or, if adjusted (x) pursuant to, and in compliance with, Section 1.1(c), the Initial Exchange Ratio, as so adjusted, or (y) pursuant to Section 2.1(d) (including at any time following an adjustment pursuant to Section 1.1(c)), the Adjusted Exchange Ratio) plus (bb) a fraction having a numerator equal to the Cash Consideration payable in respect of a share of Company Common Stock pursuant to Section 2.1(c) and having a denominator equal to the volume weighted average closing sale price of one (1) share of Parent QVC Series A Stock as reported on the Nasdaq over the ten (10) consecutive trading day period ending on and including the second (2^nd) trading day prior to the First Effective Time (as adjusted as appropriate to reflect any stock splits, stock dividends, combinations, reorganizations, reclassifications or similar events). The Parties hereto acknowledge that the assumption of the Company Stock Options pursuant to this Section 2.1(f)(i) is intended to comply with the requirements of Treasury Regulations section 1.409A-1(b)(5)(v)(D) for not treating such Assumed Option as the grant of a new stock right or a change in the form of payment for purposes of Section 409A of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder.

(ii) Restricted Stock Units. At the First Effective Time, each restricted stock unit granted under the Company Stock Plans (a “Company RSU”) that is outstanding and unvested immediately prior to the First Effective Time (after giving effect to any vesting that is contingent upon the completion of the Mergers) shall be converted into and become a right to receive a restricted stock unit with respect to Parent QVC Series A Stock, and Parent shall assume such Company RSU award converted as provided below in accordance with substantially the same terms as those of the applicable Company RSU award and the agreement by which such Company RSU award is evidenced, as in effect as of the date of this Agreement (all outstanding Company RSUs that are assumed pursuant to this Section 2.1(f)(ii) are hereafter referred to as

“Assumed RSUs”). All rights to receive shares of Company Common Stock under Assumed RSUs shall thereupon be converted into rights to receive restricted stock units with respect to Parent QVC Series A Stock. Accordingly, from and after the First Effective Time: (A) each Assumed RSU award may be settled solely in shares of Parent QVC Series A Stock; (B) the number of shares of Parent QVC Series A Stock subject to each Assumed RSU award shall be determined by multiplying the number of shares of Company Common Stock that were subject to such Assumed RSU award immediately prior to the First Effective Time by the Conversion Ratio (as defined in Section 2.1(f)(i)), and rounding the resulting number down to the nearest whole number of shares of Parent QVC Series A Stock; and (C) any performance and employment conditions and restrictions on the receipt of any Assumed RSUs shall continue in full force and effect and the term, vesting schedule and other provisions of such Assumed RSUs shall otherwise remain unchanged as a result of the assumption of such Assumed RSUs; provided, however, that: (1) each Assumed RSU award shall, in accordance with its terms, be subject to further adjustment as appropriate to reflect any stock split, division or subdivision of shares, stock dividend, issuance of bonus shares, reverse stock split, consolidation of shares, reclassification, recapitalization or other similar transaction with respect to Parent QVC Series A Stock subsequent to the First Effective Time; (2) the compensation committee of the Parent Board shall succeed to the authority and responsibility of the Company Board or any committee thereof with respect to each Assumed RSU award; and (3) each Assumed RSU award shall be subject to administrative procedures consistent with those in effect under Parent’s equity compensation plan.

(g) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if, from the date of this Agreement until the earlier of (i) the First Effective Time or (ii) any termination of this Agreement in accordance with Article VII, the outstanding shares of Parent QVC Series A Stock or Company Common Stock shall have been changed into a different number of shares or a different class by reason of any reclassification, stock split (including a reverse stock split), recapitalization, split-up, combination, exchange of shares, readjustment, or other similar transaction, or a stock dividend thereon shall be declared with a record date within said period, then the Initial Exchange Ratio (or, if adjusted (x) pursuant to, and in compliance with, Section 1.1(c), the Initial Exchange Ratio, as so adjusted, or (y) pursuant to Section 2.1(d) (including at any time following an adjustment pursuant to Section 1.1(c)) the Adjusted Exchange Ratio) and any other similarly dependent items, as the case may be, shall be appropriately adjusted to provide Parent and the holders of Company Common Stock (including Company Stock Options exercisable for Company Common Stock and Company RSUs) the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such event. Nothing in this Section 2.1 shall be construed to permit any Party to take any action that is otherwise prohibited or restricted by any other provision of this Agreement.

(h) Prior to the First Effective Time, the Company shall take all necessary action to (i) determine that none of the Company Stock Options or Company RSUs that, in each case, is outstanding and unvested immediately prior to the First Effective Time, will accelerate and become vested in connection with the Offer or the Mergers and (ii) effect the adjustment, assumption or, if applicable, cancellation of the Company Stock Options or Company RSUs under this Section 2.1. Parent shall reserve for future issuance a number of shares of Parent QVC Series A Stock at least equal to the number of shares of Parent QVC Series A Stock that will be subject to Assumed Options and Assumed RSUs as a result of the actions contemplated by this

Section 2.1. As soon as practicable after the First Effective Time (but in no event later than ten (10) Business Days following the First Effective Time), Parent shall cause to be filed with the SEC a registration statement on Form S-8 (or any successor form or other applicable form if a Form S-8 is for any reason unavailable for use by Parent at such time), relating to the shares of Parent QVC Series A Stock issuable with respect to such Assumed Options and Assumed RSUs eligible for registration on Form S-8.

Section 2.2 Disposition of Certificates and Book-Entry Shares.

(a) Exchange Agent. Prior to the First Effective Time, Parent and the Company shall mutually agree on a bank or trust company to act as Exchange Agent (the “Exchange Agent”) in connection with the First Merger for the payment of the Cash Consideration and exchange of shares of Company Common Stock for shares of Parent QVC Series A Stock. The Exchange Agent shall also act as the agent for the Company’s stockholders for the purpose of receiving and holding their Certificates and Book Entry Shares and shall obtain no rights or interests in the shares represented thereby. Parent will enter into an exchange agent agreement with the Exchange Agent (the “Exchange Agent Agreement”) on terms reasonably acceptable to Parent and the Company prior to the First Effective Time and Parent shall pay all costs, fees and expenses incurred in connection with the retention and engagement of the Exchange Agent. Prior to or concurrently with the First Effective Time, Parent or Purchaser shall deposit, or cause to be deposited, with the Exchange Agent for payment in accordance with Section 2.1 and in exchange for outstanding shares of Company Common Stock (i) the aggregate Cash Consideration in immediately available funds payable pursuant to Section 2.1, (ii) shares of Parent QVC Series A Stock issuable pursuant to Section 2.1 and (iii) cash in immediately available funds in an amount sufficient to make all requisite payments of cash in lieu of fractional shares payable pursuant to Section 2.2(j). Parent shall deposit with the Exchange Agent for payment in accordance with Section 2.1 any dividends or other distributions which holders of shares of Company Common Stock may be entitled pursuant to Section 2.2(k) immediately following any such dividend or other distribution. All shares of Parent QVC Series A Stock and cash deposited with the Exchange Agent pursuant hereto shall hereinafter be referred to as the “Exchange Fund.” Parent shall cause the Exchange Agent to make payments of the Cash Consideration, and exchange shares of Company Common Stock for shares of Parent QVC Series A Stock, out of the Exchange Fund in accordance with this Agreement and the Exchange Agent Agreement. The Exchange Fund shall not be used for any other purpose.

(b) Stock Transfer Books. At the First Effective Time, the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed and thereafter there shall be no further registration of transfers of shares of Company Common Stock on the records of the Company. From and after the First Effective Time, the holders of Certificates and Book-Entry Shares representing ownership of shares of Company Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the First Effective Time shall cease to have rights with respect to such shares of Company Common Stock except as otherwise provided for herein. From and after the First Effective Time, any Certificates or Book-Entry Shares presented to the Exchange Agent, Parent or the Surviving Company for any reason (other than Certificates or Book-Entry Shares representing Excluded Shares and Dissenting Shares) shall be canceled and exchanged as provided in this ARTICLE II.

(c) Exchange Procedures. Promptly after the First Effective Time, Parent shall, and shall cause the Surviving Company to, cause the Exchange Agent to mail to each holder of record of a Certificate or Certificates or Book-Entry Shares that immediately prior to the First Effective Time represented outstanding shares of Company Common Stock (other than Excluded Shares and Dissenting Shares) (A) a letter of transmittal in customary form prepared by Parent and reasonably acceptable to the Company (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates or Book-Entry Shares shall pass to the Exchange Agent, only upon delivery of the Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu thereof) or Book-Entry Shares to the Exchange Agent, and which letter shall be in such form and have such other provisions as Parent may reasonably specify and as may be reasonably acceptable to the Company) and (B) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates or Book-Entry Shares to which the holder thereof is entitled. Upon surrender of any Certificate (or affidavits of loss in lieu thereof) or Book-Entry Shares for cancellation to the Exchange Agent, together with such letter of transmittal, duly executed and completed in accordance with the instructions thereto, and such other documents as may reasonably be required by the Exchange Agent, the holder of such Certificate or Book-Entry Shares shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor (1) the number of whole shares of Parent QVC Series A Stock (after taking into account all Certificates surrendered, and Book-Entry Shares held, by such holder of record) to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 2.1 in book entry form, (2) the Cash Consideration such holder is entitled to receive pursuant to Section 2.1, (3) the cash payable in lieu of fractional shares of Parent QVC Series A Stock such holder is entitled to receive pursuant to Section 2.2(j), and (4) any dividends or distributions to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 2.2(k), and the Certificate or Book-Entry Shares so surrendered shall forthwith be canceled. In the event of a transfer of ownership of shares of Company Common Stock that is not registered in the transfer records of the Company, payment may be made to a Person other than the Person in whose name the Certificate so surrendered is registered, if such Certificate shall be properly endorsed or otherwise be in proper form for transfer and the Person requesting such payment shall pay any transfer or other Taxes required by reason of the payment to a Person other than the registered holder of such Certificate or establish to the reasonable satisfaction of Parent that such Tax has been paid or is not applicable. No interest shall be paid or accrue on any cash payable pursuant to this Section 2.2.

(d) Termination of Exchange Fund. Any portion of the Exchange Fund which remains undistributed for twelve (12) months after the First Effective Time shall be delivered to Parent, and any holders of shares of Company Common Stock prior to the First Effective Time who have not theretofore complied with this ARTICLE II and the instructions in the letter of transmittal mailed to such holder pursuant to Section 2.2(c) shall thereafter look only to Parent and only as general creditors thereof for payment of the Transaction Consideration issuable and payable in respect thereto pursuant to Section 2.1 and issuance and payment of any dividends or other distributions payable or issuable in respect thereof pursuant to Section 2.2(k) (subject to abandoned property, escheat or similar Laws), and Parent or the Surviving Company (as applicable) shall be responsible for the payment of such amounts.

(e) No Liability. None of Parent, the Merger Subs, the Surviving Company, the Company or the Exchange Agent, or any employee, officer, director, agent, representative or Affiliate thereof, shall be liable to any Person in respect of the Transaction Consideration delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law.

(f) Investment of Exchange Fund. The Exchange Agent shall invest any cash included in the Exchange Fund as directed by the Surviving Company or Parent. Any interest, gains and other income resulting from such investments shall be the sole and exclusive property of Parent payable to Parent upon its request, and no part of such interest, gains and other income shall accrue to the benefit of holders of Company Common Stock. To the extent that there are losses with respect to such investments, or the Exchange Fund diminishes for other reasons below the level required to make prompt payments of the Cash Consideration as contemplated hereby, Parent shall promptly replace or restore the portion of the Exchange Fund lost through investments or other events so as to ensure that the Exchange Fund is, at all times, maintained at a level sufficient to make such payments.

(g) Lost Certificates. If any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed, and, if required by Parent or the Exchange Agent, the posting by such Person of a bond in such reasonable and customary amount as Parent or the Exchange Agent may direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made with respect to such Certificate, the Exchange Agent will issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate the Transaction Consideration payable in respect thereof, pursuant to this Agreement.

(h) Withholding Rights. Parent, the Company, the Merger Subs, the First Surviving Corporation, the Surviving Company and/or the Exchange Agent, as applicable, shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any Person such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, or any applicable provisions of state, local or foreign Tax Law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld and remitted to the applicable Governmental Entity, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.

(i) Appraisal Rights. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, shares of Company Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the First Effective Time (other than Excluded Shares) and held by a holder who is entitled to demand and properly demands appraisal of such shares (“Dissenting Shares”) pursuant to, and who complies in all respects with, Section 262 of the DGCL (the “Appraisal Rights”) shall not be converted into the right to receive the Transaction Consideration. Such holders shall be entitled to receive such consideration as is determined to be due with respect to such Dissenting Shares in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL; provided, however, that if any such holder shall fail to perfect or otherwise shall effectively waive, withdraw or lose the right to appraisal under the Appraisal Rights, then the right of such holder to be paid such consideration as is determined to be due pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL shall cease and such Dissenting Shares shall be deemed to have been converted as of the First Effective Time into the right to receive, and to have become exchangeable solely for, the Transaction Consideration, without interest and reduced by the amount of any withholding that is required under applicable Tax Law. The Company shall promptly deliver to Parent notice of any demands received by the Company for appraisal of any

shares of Company Common Stock, and Parent shall have the right to participate in and direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demands. The Company shall not without the prior written consent of Parent make any payment with respect to, or offer to make any such payment or settle or offer to settle, any such demands.

(j) No Fractional Shares.

(i) No certificates or scrip representing fractional shares of Parent QVC Series A Stock shall be issued upon the conversion of shares of Company Common Stock pursuant to Section 2.1, and such fractional share interests shall not entitle the owner thereof to vote or to any rights of a holder of Parent QVC Series A Stock. For purposes of this Section 2.2(j), all fractional shares to which a single record holder would be entitled shall be aggregated and calculated to three (3) decimal places. In lieu of any such fractional shares, each holder of shares of Company Common Stock who would otherwise be entitled to such fractional shares shall be entitled to an amount in cash, without interest and subject to any withholding of Taxes required by applicable Law, rounded to the nearest cent, equal to the product of (A) the amount of the fractional share interest in a share of Parent QVC Series A Stock to which such holder is entitled under Section 2.1(c) (or would be entitled but for this Section 2.2(j)) and (B) the volume weighted average closing sale price of one (1) share of Parent QVC Series A Stock as reported on the Nasdaq over the ten (10) consecutive trading day period ending on and including the second (2^nd) trading day prior to the Acceptance Time (as adjusted as appropriate to reflect any stock splits, stock dividends, combinations, reorganizations, reclassifications or similar events). As soon as practicable after the determination of the amount of cash, if any, to be paid to holders of shares of Company Common Stock in lieu of any fractional share interests in Parent QVC Series A Stock, the Exchange Agent shall pay such amounts, without interest, to the holders of shares of Company Common Stock entitled to receive such cash.

(ii) The amount of cash each holder of Company Common Stock is entitled to receive pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, for the shares of Company Common Stock held by such holder, shall be rounded to the nearest cent.

(k) No Dividends. No dividends or other distributions with respect to Parent QVC Series A Stock with a record date after the First Effective Time shall be paid to the holder of any shares of Company Common Stock with respect to the shares of Parent QVC Series A Stock issuable upon surrender thereof, and no cash payment in lieu of fractional shares shall be paid to any such holder pursuant to Section 2.2(j), and all such dividends and other distributions shall be paid by Parent to the Exchange Agent and shall be included in the Exchange Fund, in each case until the surrender of such Certificate in accordance with this ARTICLE II. Subject to applicable Law, following surrender of any such Certificate, there shall be paid to such holder, without interest and subject to any withholding of Taxes required by applicable Law, (i) at the time of such surrender, the amount of any cash payable in lieu of a fractional share of Parent QVC Series A Stock to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 2.2(j) and the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the First Effective Time theretofore paid with respect to such whole shares of Parent QVC Series A Stock and (ii) at the appropriate payment date, the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the First Effective Time but prior to such surrender and a payment date subsequent to such surrender payable with respect to such whole shares of Parent QVC Series A Stock.

Section 2.3 Further Assurances. If, at any time (x) after the First Effective Time, the First Surviving Corporation or (y) after the Second Effective Time, the Surviving Company, shall determine that any actions are necessary or desirable to vest, perfect or confirm of record or otherwise in the First Surviving Corporation or the Surviving Company, as applicable, its right, title or interest in, to or under any of the rights, properties or assets of either of the Company or Purchaser acquired or to be acquired by the Surviving Company as a result of, or in connection with, the Mergers or otherwise to carry out this Agreement, then the sole member, officers and directors, as applicable, of the First Surviving Corporation or the Surviving Company, as applicable, shall be authorized to take all such actions as may be necessary or desirable to vest all right, title or interest in, to and under such rights, properties or assets in the First Surviving Corporation or the Surviving Company, as applicable, or otherwise to carry out this Agreement.

The Company shall not terminate, waive, amend, release or modify any material provision of any confidentiality agreement to which the Company, any Company Subsidiary or any of their respective controlled Affiliates is a party with any Person (other than Parent and its Affiliates) with respect to any Acquisition Proposal or any proposal, inquiry or offer that would reasonably be expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal, and shall use reasonable best efforts to enforce, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, the provisions of any such agreement, including seeking injunctions to prevent any breaches of any such agreement; provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company shall be entitled to waive any standstill provision included in any such confidentiality agreement or any standstill provision contained in any standstill agreement to which the Company, any Company Subsidiary or any of their respective controlled Affiliates is a party

with respect to any Acquisition Proposal or any proposal, inquiry or offer that is reasonably likely to lead to an Acquisition Proposal if the Company Board determines that failure to waive such standstill would constitute a breach of its fiduciary duties under applicable Law.

(b) Subject to the other terms of this Section 5.3, the Company shall not, and shall cause the Company Subsidiaries and its and their respective directors and officers not to, and shall use reasonable best efforts to cause their respective Representatives not to, directly or indirectly, (i) solicit, initiate, knowingly encourage or knowingly facilitate the making, submission or announcement of any inquiries or the making of any proposal or offer constituting or that would reasonably be expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal, (ii) furnish any non-public information regarding any of the Company or any Company Subsidiary to any Person (other than Parent, its Affiliates and Parent’s or Purchaser’s Representatives acting in their capacity as such) in connection with or in response to an Acquisition Proposal or any proposal, inquiry or offer that would reasonably be expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal, (iii) engage in discussions or negotiations with any Person with respect to any Acquisition Proposal or any proposal, inquiry or offer that would reasonably be expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal (other than to state that they currently are not permitted to have discussions), (iv) approve, endorse or recommend any Acquisition Proposal or any proposal, inquiry or offer that would reasonably be expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal, (v) make or authorize any public statement, recommendation or solicitation in support of any Acquisition Proposal or any proposal, inquiry or offer that would reasonably be expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal, (vi) enter into any letter of intent or agreement in principle or any Contract with respect to any Acquisition Proposal or any proposal, inquiry or offer that would reasonably be expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal (other than an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement in accordance with Section 5.3(c)) or (vii) reimburse or agree to reimburse the expenses of any other Person (other than the Company’s Representatives) in connection with an Acquisition Proposal or any inquiry, discussion, offer or request that would reasonably be expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if at any time prior to the Acceptance Time, (i) the Company receives, after the date of this Agreement, a bona fide written Acquisition Proposal that was not solicited after the date of this Agreement, (ii) such Acquisition Proposal did not result from a breach of Section 5.3(a) or Section 5.3(b) of this Agreement, (iii) the Company Board determines in good faith (after consultation with outside counsel and a financial advisor, each of nationally recognized reputation) that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes or would reasonably be expected to lead to a Superior Proposal and (iv) the Company Board determines in good faith (after consultation with outside counsel) that the failure to take the actions referred to in clause (x) or (y) of this Section 5.3(c) would constitute a breach of its fiduciary duties under applicable Law, then, prior to the Acceptance Time, the Company may (x) make available information with respect to the Company and the Company Subsidiaries to the Person (and its or their directors, officers and Representatives and potential financing sources) making such Acquisition Proposal pursuant to an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement; provided, that any nonpublic information provided or made available to any Person given such access shall have been previously provided or made available to Parent or shall be provided or made available to Parent prior to or concurrently with the time it is provided or made available to such Person, and (y) participate in discussions or negotiations with the Person (and its or their directors, officers and Representatives and potential financing sources) making such

Acquisition Proposal regarding such Acquisition Proposal; provided, however, that the Company and its Subsidiaries shall, and shall cause its and their respective directors and officers to, and shall use reasonable best efforts to cause their respective Representatives to, cease any activities described in clause (x) or (y) of this Section 5.3(c) immediately following the time that the Company Board determines in good faith (after consultation with outside counsel and a financial advisor, each of nationally recognized reputation) that the applicable Acquisition Proposal no longer constitutes or would reasonably be expected to lead to a Superior Proposal. The Company shall promptly (and in any event within thirty-six (36) hours) advise Parent of the receipt of any Acquisition Proposal or any proposal or offer that would reasonably be expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal (including the identity of the Person making or submitting such Acquisition Proposal, proposal or offer, and the material terms and conditions thereof) that is made or submitted by any Person prior to the Acceptance Time; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to provide Parent or Purchaser with the identity of the Person submitting such Acquisition Proposal, proposal or offer or the details of any such Acquisition Proposal, proposal or offer made or submitted pursuant to any Company NDA so long as the only communications between the Company or any of its directors, officers or Representatives and such Person relate to (A) such Person being informed of the Company’s obligations under Section 5.3 and (B) requests that such Person waive any provision of such Company NDA that prohibits the Company from complying with the terms of this Section 5.3(c). The Company shall keep Parent informed, on a reasonably current basis, of the status of, and any financial or other material changes in, any such Acquisition Proposal, proposal or offer, including furnishing copies of all offer letters, term sheets, written proposals or similar documents, in each case, offering or proposing to effect an Acquisition Proposal, and any draft agreements to effect the applicable Acquisition Proposal, proposal or offer exchanged between the Company and the other party making the Acquisition Proposal, proposal or offer.

(d) Subject to the other terms of this Section 5.3, neither the Company Board nor any committee thereof shall (i) (A) fail to make, withhold, withdraw or qualify (or modify in a manner adverse to Parent) the Company Recommendation, the Company Determination or the approval of this Agreement, the Offer or any of the other transactions contemplated hereby or (B) adopt, approve or recommend or publicly propose to adopt, approve or recommend any Acquisition Proposal, (ii) cause or permit the Company to enter into any letter of intent, memorandum of understanding, agreement in principle, acquisition agreement, merger agreement, option agreement, joint venture agreement or other agreement with respect to an Acquisition Proposal, other than an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement in accordance with Section 5.3, (iii) take any action to make the provisions of any Takeover Laws or any restrictive provision of any applicable antitakeover provision in the certificate of incorporation or bylaws of the Company, inapplicable to any transactions contemplated by an Acquisition Proposal (including approving any transaction under the DGCL) or (iv) resolve, agree or propose to take any such actions (each such action set forth in Section 5.3(d)(i) and Section 5.3(d)(ii) being referred to herein as an “Adverse Recommendation Change”), it being understood that the following shall not constitute an Adverse Recommendation Change: (A) any “stop, look and listen” disclosure in compliance with Rule 14d-9(f) of the Exchange Act and (B) any communication by the Company that expressly continues to recommend the Offer.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, but subject to Section 5.3(f) and Section 5.3(g), at any time prior to the Acceptance Time, if the Company

Board determines in good faith (after consultation with outside counsel of nationally recognized reputation) that the failure to do so would constitute a breach of its fiduciary duties under applicable Law, then, prior to the Acceptance Time, the Company Board may (i) make an Adverse Recommendation Change in response to an Intervening Event (other than for an Acquisition Proposal) or (ii) (solely in response to a Superior Proposal received on or after the date hereof that has not been withdrawn or abandoned and that did not result from a breach of Section 5.3(a) or Section 5.3(b) of this Agreement), make an Adverse Recommendation Change and, on or after the Cut-Off Date, terminate this Agreement in order to enter into a definitive agreement in accordance with Section 7.1(d)(iii). Neither the Company Board nor any committee thereof shall make an Adverse Recommendation Change or (solely in response to a Superior Proposal received on or after the date hereof that has not been withdrawn or abandoned and that did not result from a breach of Section 5.3(a) or Section 5.3(b) of this Agreement) terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 7.1(d)(iii) unless the Company has first complied with the provisions of Section 5.3(f) and, after so complying, the Company Board determines in good faith (after consultation with outside counsel of nationally recognized reputation) that the failure to do so would constitute a breach of its fiduciary duties under applicable Law and, in the case of an Adverse Recommendation Change or termination pursuant to Section 5.3(e)(ii), such Acquisition Proposal continues to constitute a Superior Proposal.

(f) The Company Board shall not take any action set forth in (i) Section 5.3(e)(i) unless the Company has first (A) provided Parent four (4) Business Days’ prior written notice advising Parent it intends to effect an Adverse Recommendation Change which notice specifies, in reasonable detail, the reasons therefor (it being understood that the delivery of such notice shall not itself constitute an Adverse Recommendation Change), and (B) during such four (4) Business Day period, negotiated, and has caused its Representatives to negotiate, in good faith any written proposal by Parent to amend the terms and conditions of this Agreement in a manner that would obviate the need to effect an Adverse Recommendation Change and (C) after complying with clauses (A) and (B) of this Section 5.3(f)(i), at the end of such four (4) Business Day period, the Company Board has again reaffirmed the determination described in Section 5.3(e) in light of the revisions to the terms of this Agreement to which Parent has committed in a binding written document or (ii) Section 5.3(e)(ii) unless (A) the Company has first provided written notice to Parent (a “Notice of Superior Proposal”) advising Parent that the Company has received a Superior Proposal, specifying the material terms and conditions of such Superior Proposal, identifying the Person making such Superior Proposal and providing copies of any proposed agreements which are intended to effect such Superior Proposal, and the Company Board has made the determination required under Section 5.3(e) (it being understood that the delivery of such notice shall not itself constitute an Adverse Recommendation Change), (B) the Company has negotiated, and caused the Company and its Representatives to negotiate, during the four (4) Business Day period following Parent’s receipt of the Notice of Superior Proposal (the “Notice Period”), in good faith with Parent any written proposal to amend the terms of this Agreement (to the extent Parent wishes to do so) so that such Acquisition Proposal no longer constitutes a Superior Proposal, and (C) after complying with clauses (A) and (B) of this Section 5.3(f)(ii), the Company Board has again reaffirmed the determination described in Section 5.3(e) in light of the revisions to the terms of this Agreement to which Parent has committed in a binding written document; provided, however, that if any revisions are made to an Acquisition Proposal and such revisions are material (it being understood and agreed that any change to consideration with respect to such proposal is material), the Company shall deliver a new Notice

of Superior Proposal to Parent and shall again comply with the requirements of this Section 5.3(f)(ii) with respect to such new Notice of Superior Proposal, except that in such a situation, the Notice Period shall be two (2) Business Days (it being understood that if any subsequent material revisions are made to such Acquisition Proposal, the Company shall deliver a new Notice of Superior Proposal to Parent and shall again comply with the requirements of this Section 5.3(f)(ii) with respect to such new Notice of Superior Proposal, except that the Notice Period with respect thereto shall be two (2) Business Days).

(g) The Company agrees that it shall take all actions necessary so that any Adverse Recommendation Change shall not change the approval of this Agreement or any other approval of the Company Board or any committee thereof in any respect that would have the effect of causing any of the Takeover Laws of any state (including Delaware) to be applicable to the transactions contemplated hereby, including the Offer and the Mergers.

(h) Nothing contained in this Section 5.3 shall prohibit the Company Board from taking and disclosing a position contemplated by Item 1012(a) of Regulation M-A, Rule 14e-2(a) under the Exchange Act or Rule 14d-9 under the Exchange Act or making any disclosure to its stockholders required pursuant to applicable Law; provided, however, that any such disclosure (other than a “stop, look and listen” communication or similar communication of the type contemplated by Rule 14d-9(f) under the Exchange Act) shall be deemed to be an Adverse Recommendation Change unless the Company Board expressly reaffirms the Company Recommendation and rejects any Acquisition Proposal that has not then been withdrawn within three (3) Business Days after such disclosure; provided, further that neither the Company nor the Company Board (or any committee thereof) shall be permitted to recommend that the stockholders of the Company tender any securities in connection with any tender or exchange offer other than the Offer (or otherwise approve, endorse or recommend any Acquisition Proposal), unless in each case, in connection therewith, the Company Board effects an Adverse Recommendation Change in accordance with Section 5.3(e).

(i) For purposes of this Agreement:

(i) “Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement” means a customary confidentiality agreement containing terms substantially similar to, and (taken as a whole) no less favorable to the Company than, those set forth in the Confidentiality Agreement; provided, that such confidentiality agreement shall not prohibit compliance by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries with any of the provisions of this Section 5.3.

(ii) “Acquisition Proposal” means any proposal or offer (whether or not in writing), with respect to any (A) merger, consolidation, share exchange, other business combination or similar transaction involving the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries pursuant to which the holders of the voting power of the Company immediately prior to such transaction own 85% or less of the voting power of the surviving or resulting entity immediately following the transaction, (B) sale, lease, contribution or other disposition, directly or indirectly (including by way of merger, consolidation, share exchange, other business combination, partnership, joint venture, sale of capital stock of or other equity interests in a Company Subsidiary or otherwise) of any business or assets of the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries representing 15% or more of the consolidated revenues, net income or assets of the

Company and the Company Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, (C) issuance, sale or other disposition, directly or indirectly, to any Person (or the stockholders of any Person) or group of securities (or options, rights or warrants to purchase, or securities convertible into or exchangeable for, such securities) representing 15% or more of the voting power of the Company, (D) transaction in which the holders of the voting power of the Company immediately prior to such transaction own 85% or less of the voting power of the Company immediately following the transaction, (E) transaction in which any Person (or the stockholders of any Person) shall acquire, directly or indirectly, Beneficial Ownership, or the right to acquire Beneficial Ownership, or formation of any group which Beneficially Owns or has the right to acquire Beneficial Ownership of, 15% or more of the shares of Company Common Stock or (F) any combination of the foregoing (in the case of each of clauses (A) through (F), other than the Offer and the Mergers).

(iii) “Superior Proposal” means any binding bona fide written offer made by a third party or group pursuant to which such third party or group would own, directly or indirectly, 66% or more of the combined voting power of the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock or 66% or more of the assets of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries, (A) on terms which the Company Board determines in good faith (after consultation with outside counsel and a financial advisor of nationally recognized reputation) to be more favorable from a financial point of view to the stockholders of the Company than the Transactions, taking into account any factors that the Company Board deems appropriate, including (to the extent deemed by the Company Board to be appropriate for consideration) the terms and conditions of such proposal and this Agreement (including the Termination Fee, any changes proposed by Parent to the terms of this Agreement and the potential time delay and all financial, regulatory, legal and other aspects of such offer), and (B) that is reasonably capable of being completed, taking into account all financial, regulatory, legal and other aspects of such offer, including the likelihood of any necessary financing (including with respect to any indebtedness that could be required to be repaid in connection with the transactions contemplated by such offer) being obtained in a timely manner.

(j) Any action taken or not taken by any officer or director of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any financial advisor of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that if taken or not taken by the Company would constitute a breach of this Section 5.3, shall be deemed a breach of this Agreement by the Company; provided, however, that, without limiting in any way the terms of this Section 5.3, if the Company has instructed in writing promptly, after the date of this Agreement, its and the Company Subsidiaries’ financial advisors to comply with the terms of this Section 5.3, then no action taken or not taken by any such financial advisors shall be considered for purposes of Section 7.1(c)(i) or Section 7.1(c)(iii) unless one or more of the officers or directors of the Company or of any of the Company Subsidiaries has directly or indirectly authorized or directed such financial advisors to take such action or any similar action; provided, further, however, that the Company shall remain liable for the actions of such financial advisors. If the Company becomes aware of any action taken or not taken by any Representative of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that if taken or not taken by the Company would constitute a breach of this Section 5.3, the Company shall take all necessary action to cause such Representative to immediately cease the taking of, or cause to be taken, such action.

(b) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each of Parent and the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable to consummate and make effective, as soon as practicable after the date of this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby, including using reasonable best efforts to lift or rescind any injunction or restraining order or other order adversely affecting the ability of the Parties to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and using reasonable best efforts to defend any litigation seeking to enjoin, prevent or delay the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or seeking material damages.

Section 5.9 Indemnification.

(a) Parent agrees that all rights to exculpation, indemnification or advancement of expenses arising from, relating to, or otherwise in respect of, acts or omissions occurring prior to the First Effective Time now existing in favor of the current or former directors or officers of the Company or the Company Subsidiaries and any person who becomes a director or officer of the Company or the Company Subsidiaries prior to the First Effective Time (collectively, together with their respective heirs, executors and administrators, the “Indemnified Parties”) as provided in their respective Constituent Documents or any indemnification or similar agreements shall survive the Mergers and shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with their terms, and Parent shall cause the Surviving Company to comply therewith. From and after the First Effective Time, Parent shall, and shall cause the Surviving Company to, indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, each of the Indemnified Parties against any costs or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages or liabilities incurred in connection with any claim or Proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, arising out of or related to the fact that such person is or was a director or officer of the Company or any Company Subsidiary and pertaining to matters existing or occurring or actions or omissions taken prior to the First Effective Time, including (A) the Transactions, and (B) actions to enforce this Section 5.9 or any other indemnification or advancement right of any Indemnified Party. In addition, Parent shall, and shall cause the Surviving Company to, advance expenses to the Indemnified Parties as incurred to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law; provided that the Indemnified Party to whom expenses are advanced provides an undertaking to repay such advances if it is ultimately determined by a final and nonappealable judicial determination that such Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification. For a period of no less than six (6) years from the First Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Surviving Company to maintain in effect the exculpation, indemnification and advancement of expenses provisions of the Company’s Constituent Documents or any indemnification or similar agreements in effect as of the date of this Agreement between any Indemnified Party and the Company or any Company

Subsidiary that are set forth in Section 5.9(a) of the Company Disclosure Letter, and shall not amend, repeal or otherwise modify any such provisions in any manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of such Indemnified Parties; provided, however, that all rights to exculpation, indemnification and advancement of expenses in respect of any Proceeding pending or asserted or any claim made within such period shall continue until the final disposition of such Proceeding.

(b) In the event that either Parent or the Surviving Company or any of its 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 all or substantially all of its properties, rights and other assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, Parent shall, and shall cause the Surviving Company to, cause proper provision to be made so that such successor or assign shall expressly assume all of the obligations set forth in this Section 5.9.

(c) Prior to the First Effective Time the Company may, and if the Company does not, Parent shall cause the Surviving Company as of immediately following the Second Effective Time to, obtain and fully pay for, at no expense to the beneficiaries, non-cancellable “tail” insurance policies with a claims period of at least six (6) years from and after the First Effective Time from insurance carriers with the same or better credit ratings as the Company’s current insurance carriers with respect to directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies and fiduciary liability insurance policies (collectively, “D&O Insurance”), for the persons who are covered by the Company’s existing D&O Insurance, with terms, conditions, retentions and levels of coverage at least as favorable to the insured individuals as the Company’s existing D&O Insurance with respect to matters existing or occurring at or prior to the First Effective Time (including in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby); provided, however, that in no event shall the Company pay, or the Surviving Company, as the case may be, be required to pay, for such “tail” insurance policies a one-time premium in excess of 300% of the Company’s current annual premium for D&O Insurance (the “Premium Cap”). If the Company and the Surviving Company for any reason fail to obtain such “tail” insurance policies as of the First Effective Time, the Surviving Company shall, and Parent shall cause the Surviving Company to, continue to maintain in effect, at no expense to the beneficiaries, D&O Insurance for a period of at least six (6) years from and after the First Effective Time for the persons who are covered by the Company’s existing D&O Insurance, with terms, conditions, retentions and levels of coverage at least as favorable as provided in such existing D&O Insurance, from insurance carriers with the same or better credit ratings as the Company’s current D&O Insurance carriers; provided, however, that the Surviving Company shall not be required to pay for such D&O Insurance an annual premium in excess of Premium Cap, in which case the Surviving Company shall, and Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Surviving Company to maintain in effect, at no expense to the beneficiaries, for a period of at least six (6) years from the First Effective Time for the persons who are covered by the Company’s existing D&O Insurance, D&O Insurance with the best overall terms, conditions, retentions and levels of coverage reasonably available for an annual premium equal to the Premium Cap.

(d) The provisions of this Section 5.9 shall survive consummation of the Offer and the Mergers, are intended to be for the benefit of, and will be enforceable by, each

Indemnified Party, his or her heirs and his or her representatives and are in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other rights to indemnification or contribution that any such Person may have under the Constituent Documents of the Company or the Company Subsidiaries, by Contract, by Law or otherwise.

Section 5.10 Termination of Certain Agreements. The Company shall use reasonable efforts to cause to be terminated, effective as of immediately prior to the First Effective Time, that certain Third Amended and Restated Investor Rights Agreement, dated November 5, 2012, as amended by Amendment No. 1, dated October 17, 2013, among the Company and the other parties thereto.

(b) For a period commencing on the First Effective Time, and ending on the first (1^st) anniversary of the Closing Date, Parent or the Surviving Company, as applicable, shall provide or cause to be provided, to each Continuing Employee whose employment is terminated by the Company for reasons other than cause, death or disability, severance benefits that are no less favorable than severance benefits set forth in Section 5.11(b) of the Company Disclosure Letter.

In addition, as of the First Effective Time, Parent shall, and shall cause the Surviving Company and any applicable Company Subsidiary to, give Continuing Employees full credit for purposes of eligibility and vesting (but, not for benefit accrual purposes under any defined benefit pension plan) under any employee benefit and compensation plans or arrangements maintained by Parent or an applicable Parent Subsidiary that such employees may be eligible to participate in after the First Effective Time for such Continuing Employees’ service with the Company or any Company Subsidiaries to the same extent that such service was credited for purposes of any comparable employee benefit plan immediately prior to the First Effective Time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 5.11(c) shall be construed to require crediting of service that would result in (i) duplication of benefits, (ii) service credit for benefit accruals under a defined benefit pension plan, or (iii) service credit under a newly established plan for which prior service is not taken into account for employees of Parent or any Parent Subsidiary generally.

(d) No provision of this Section 5.11 shall be construed as a limitation on the right of Parent, or to cause any Parent Subsidiary, to amend or terminate any specific employee benefit plan that Parent or a Parent Subsidiary would otherwise have under the terms of such employee benefit plan, nor shall any provision of this Section 5.11 be construed to require the continuation of the employment of any particular Continuing Employee. The provisions of this Section 5.11 are solely for the benefit of the Parties to this Agreement, and no current or former director, officer, employee, consultant or other independent contractor or any other Person shall be a third-party beneficiary of this Section 5.11, and nothing herein shall be construed as an amendment to any employee benefit plan of Parent or any Parent Subsidiary or other compensation or benefit plan or arrangement for any purpose.

any of the representations and warranties of Parent and each Merger Sub set forth in this Agreement shall have become inaccurate, which inaccuracy, together with any other inaccuracies, would reasonably be expected to have a Parent Material Adverse Effect; provided, in the case of clause (A) or (B) above, if curable, such inaccuracy or breach is not cured within thirty (30) calendar days after written notice to Parent and each Merger Sub (or, if less, the number of calendar days remaining until the Outside Date) describing in reasonable detail such inaccuracy or breach; provided, further, that the Company shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 7.1(d)(i) if it is then in material breach of any of its covenants or agreements set forth in this Agreement;

Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained herein shall relieve any Party hereto of liability for a Willful Breach of its covenants or agreements set forth in this Agreement prior to such termination or for fraud. No termination of this Agreement shall affect the obligations of the Parties contained in the Confidentiality Agreement, all of which obligations shall survive the termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms (and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 8.4).

(ii) “Termination Fee” means an amount equal to $79,000,000.

(d) Each of the Parties hereto acknowledges that the agreements contained in this Section 7.3 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and that, without these agreements, Parent and the Merger Subs would not enter into this Agreement. Accordingly, if the Company fails promptly to pay the amounts due pursuant to this Section 7.3, and, in order to obtain such payment, Parent or its designee commences a suit that results in a judgment against the Company for all or a portion of the Termination Fee, the Company shall pay to Parent or its designees interest on the amount of the Termination Fee from the date such payment was required to be made until the date of payment at a rate equal to the “prime rate” (as announced by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. or any successor thereto) in effect on the date such overdue amount was originally required to be paid.

Section 7.4 Amendment or Supplement. This Agreement may be amended, modified or supplemented by the Parties hereto by action taken or authorized by written agreement of the Parties hereto (by action taken by their respective boards of directors, if required) at any time prior to the First Effective Time, whether before or after the Acceptance Time; provided, however, that after the Acceptance Time, no amendment shall be made that pursuant to applicable Law requires further approval or adoption by the stockholders of the Company without such further approval or adoption. This Agreement may not be amended, modified or supplemented in any manner, whether by course of conduct or otherwise, except by an instrument in writing specifically designated as an amendment hereto, signed on behalf of each of the Parties in interest at the time of the amendment.

Section 7.5 Extension of Time; Waiver.

Any agreement on the part of a Party to any such waiver shall be valid only if set forth in a written instrument executed and delivered by a duly authorized officer on behalf of such Party or Parties, as applicable. No failure or delay of any Party in exercising any right or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such right or power, or any course of conduct, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. Except as otherwise provided herein, the rights and remedies of the Parties hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies which they would otherwise have hereunder.

Section 8.3 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when two or more counterparts have been signed by each of the Parties and delivered to the other Parties (including by facsimile or via portable document format (.pdf)), it being understood that all Parties need not sign the same counterpart.

Section 8.4 Entire Agreement; Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement (including the Exhibits hereto and the documents and the instruments referred to herein), the Confidentiality Agreement and any agreements entered into contemporaneously herewith (a) constitute the entire agreement and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and (b) are not intended to confer any rights, benefits, remedies, obligations or liabilities upon any Person other than the Parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns, except, that notwithstanding the foregoing clause (b), following the First Effective Time, the provisions of Section 5.9 shall be enforceable by each Indemnified Party and his or her heirs and his or her representatives.

Section 8.5 Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction or other authority to be invalid, void, unenforceable or against its regulatory policy, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated. Upon such determination that any term, provision, covenant or restriction is invalid, void, unenforceable or against such court’s regulatory policy, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the agreement of the Parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner to the end that the Transactions are fulfilled to the fullest extent possible.

Section 8.6 Interpretation. The words “include,” “includes,” and “including” shall be deemed to be followed by “without limitation” whether or not they are in fact followed by such words or words of like import. The words “hereof,” “herein” and “hereunder” and words of similar import when used in this Agreement shall refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement. References to “this Agreement” shall include the Parent Disclosure Letter and the Company Disclosure Letter. The word “will” shall be construed to have the same meaning and effect as the word “shall.” All terms defined in this Agreement shall have the defined meanings when used in any certificate or other document made or delivered pursuant hereto unless otherwise defined therein. All Exhibits, Schedules and Annexes attached hereto or referred to herein, and the Company Disclosure Letter and the Parent Disclosure Letter, are hereby incorporated in and made a part of this Agreement as if set forth in full herein. The definitions contained in this Agreement are applicable to the singular as well as the plural forms of such terms and to the masculine as well as to the feminine and neuter genders of such term. Any Contract, instrument or Law defined or referred to herein means such Contract, instrument or Law as from time to time amended, modified or supplemented, including (in the case of Contracts or instruments) by waiver or consent and (in the case of Laws) by succession of comparable successor Laws. Any Contract or instrument defined or referred to herein shall include all exhibits, schedules and attachments thereto and instruments incorporated therein. Any statute defined or referred to herein shall include all rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. References to a Person are also to its permitted successors and assigns. This Agreement is the product of negotiations by the Parties having the assistance of counsel and other advisers. It is the intention of the Parties that this Agreement not be construed more strictly with regard to one Party than with regard to the others.

Section 8.7 Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder shall be assigned by any of the Parties hereto in whole or in part (whether by operation of Law or otherwise) without the prior written consent of the other Parties, and any such assignment without such consent shall be null and void; provided, however, that the Merger Subs may assign in their sole discretion and without the consent of any other party, any or all of their rights, interests and obligations under this Agreement to any direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Parent, but no such assignment shall relieve Parent or the Merger Subs of their obligations hereunder. This Agreement shall be binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Parties and their respective successors and assigns.

Section 8.8 Headings. The descriptive headings used herein are inserted for convenience of reference only and are not intended to be part of or to affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

Section 8.9 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed and construed in accordance with the Laws of the State of Delaware without giving effect to the principles of conflicts of law thereof or of any other jurisdiction.

Section 8.10 Enforcement; Exclusive Jurisdiction. The Parties acknowledge and agree that irreparable damage would occur and that the Parties would not have any adequate remedy at law in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly acknowledged and agreed that the Parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in the Delaware Court of Chancery (or if the Delaware Court of Chancery declines to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, any state or federal court within the State of Delaware) or, if under applicable Law exclusive jurisdiction over such matter is vested in the federal courts, any federal court located in the State of Delaware without proof of actual damages or otherwise (and each Party hereby waives any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with such remedy), this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. Each of the Parties hereby irrevocably and unconditionally (a) submits to the sole and exclusive jurisdiction of the Delaware Court of Chancery (or if the Delaware Court of Chancery declines to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, any state or federal court within the State of Delaware) in respect of the interpretation and enforcement of the provisions of this Agreement and of the documents referred to in this Agreement, and in respect of the transactions contemplated hereby, (b) agrees that it will not attempt to deny or defeat such jurisdiction by motion or other request for leave from any such court, and agrees not to plead or claim any objection to the laying of venue in any such court or that any judicial proceeding in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum, (c) agrees that it will not bring any action relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in any court other than the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware and any federal court located in the State of Delaware, or, if neither of such courts has subject matter jurisdiction, any state court of the State of Delaware having subject matter jurisdiction, and (d) consents to service of process being made through the notice procedures set forth in Section 8.2.

Section 8.11 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.
