Terms of the Offer Purchaser is offering to purchase all of the issued and outstanding Shares at the Offer Price. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer (including, if the Offer is extended or amended, the terms and conditions of such extension or amendment), we will accept for payment and, as promptly as practicable after the Expiration Date, pay for all Shares (excluding Shares tendered pursuant to guaranteed delivery procedures that have not yet been delivered in settlement or satisfaction of such guarantee) validly tendered prior to 12:00 midnight, New York City time, at the end of the Expiration Date and not validly withdrawn as described in Section 4 – “Withdrawal Rights.” The Offer is conditioned upon, among other things, the satisfaction of the Minimum Condition and the other conditions described in Section 15 – “Conditions of the Offer.” The Merger Agreement provides that (i) if, as of the scheduled Expiration Date, any of the conditions to Purchaser’s obligation to accept for payment and pay for Shares validly tendered (and not withdrawn) pursuant to the Offer set forth in Exhibit B to the Merger Agreement (collectively, the “Offer Conditions”) is not satisfied and has not been waived, Purchaser shall extend the Offer on one or more occasions, for an additional period of up to 20 business days per extension, to permit such Offer Condition to be satisfied until the earlier to occur of (a) the satisfaction or waiver of such Offer Conditions or (b) the End Date and (ii) Purchaser may, in its discretion (and without the consent of the Company or any other Person) extend the Offer from time to time for any period required by any rule or regulation of the SEC applicable to the Offer, but, with respect to clauses (i) and (ii), in no event beyond the End Date. The “End Date” means November 1, 2016, as it may be extended as provided in the Merger Agreement and summarized below in Section 11 – “The Merger Agreement; Other Agreements – Termination of the Merger Agreement.” The Merger Agreement provides that, without the prior written consent of the Company: (i) the Minimum Condition may not be amended or waived; and (ii) no change may be made to the Offer that: (a) changes the form of consideration to be delivered by Purchaser pursuant to the Offer; (b) decreases the Offer Price or the number of Shares sought to be purchased by Purchaser pursuant in the Offer; (c) imposes conditions to the Offer in addition to the Offer Conditions; or (d) except as otherwise allowed by the Merger Agreement, extends the Expiration Date. The Merger Agreement also provides that, at Parent’s election and in Parent’s sole discretion and upon delivering written notice of such modification to the Company prior to the Acceptance Time, the definition of Minimum Condition may be modified to replace the reference to “majority of the Adjusted Outstanding Share Number” in such definition with “a majority of the aggregate number of outstanding Company Common Stock immediately prior to the Acceptance Time” (such modification, the “Permitted Minimum Condition Modification”). Effecting the Permitted Minimum Condition Modification by Parent will not constitute a waiver of the Minimum Condition for purposes of the Merger Agreement.
Commencement of the Offer Provided that this Agreement shall not have been terminated in accordance with Article 9, as promptly as practicable after the Agreement Date (but in no event more than ten (10) Business Days after the Agreement Date), Purchaser shall (and Parent shall cause Purchaser to) commence (within the meaning of Rule 14d-2 under the Exchange Act) the Offer.

The Company shall not waive any such condition or make any changes in the terms and conditions of the Offer without the consent of the Holders; provided, however, the Company may waive any condition or amend the terms and conditions of the Offer to the extent such waiver or amendment relates to matters ministerial or administrative in nature with respect to the Offer, and the Offer may be extended by the Company (1) for any period to the extent required by law or by any rule, regulation, interpretation or position of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") or the staff thereof applicable to the Offer, and (2) to any date not exceeding the 75th day following the date on which the Offer is commenced (the "Final Expiration Date") if (x) immediately prior to the expiration of the Offer any condition to the Offer shall not be satisfied and (y) the board of directors of the Company (the "Board of Directors") determines there is a reasonable basis to believe that such condition could be satisfied within such period; provided further that the Company shall extend the Offer pursuant to clause (2) at the request of the Holders to a date not later than the Final Expiration Date.
