WHEREAS, the respective boards of directors of Parent, Merger Sub and the Company have approved and declared advisable the merger of Merger Sub with and into the Company (the “Merger”) with the Company continuing as the surviving corporation (the “Surviving Corporation”), upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement and in accordance with the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”);

WHEREAS, the board of directors of the Company (the “Company Board”) has unanimously (a) determined that the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement are fair to and in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders, (b) approved this Agreement, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby in accordance with the requirements of the DGCL and (c) subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, resolved and agreed to recommend that the Company’s stockholders adopt this Agreement (the “Company Board Recommendation”);

WHEREAS, as an inducement for Parent and Merger Sub to enter into this Agreement, certain stockholders of the Company have simultaneously herewith entered into a Voting Agreement (each a “Company Voting Agreement” and collectively, the “Company Voting Agreements”) in connection with the Merger substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A; and

WHEREAS, as an inducement for the Company to enter into this Agreement, Parent and certain affiliates of Parent, as stockholders of the Company, have simultaneously herewith entered into a Voting Agreement (the “Parent Voting Agreement,” together with the Company Voting Agreements, the “Voting Agreements”) in connection with the Merger substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the respective representations, warranties, covenants and agreements set forth in this Agreement and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto agree as follows:

Article 1.
The Merger

Section 1.1 The Closing. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the consummation of the Merger (the “Closing”) shall take place at the offices of Xxxxxx & Xxxxxxx LLP, 000 Xxxxx Xxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx, at 10:00 a.m., Eastern time, on the date which is two Business Days after the date on which all conditions set forth in Article 6 shall have been satisfied or waived in accordance with this Agreement (other than those conditions that by their terms are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver of such conditions) or such other time and place as Parent and the Company may mutually agree. The date on which the Closing actually occurs is referred to in this Agreement as the “Closing Date”.

Section 1.2 The Merger. Upon the terms and subject to satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in this Agreement, and in accordance with the DGCL, at the Effective Time Merger Sub shall be merged with and into the Company. As a result of the Merger, the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub shall cease and the Company shall continue as the Surviving Corporation.

Section 1.3 Effective Time. As soon as practicable following the Closing, the parties hereto shall cause the Merger to be consummated by filing a certificate of merger (the “Certificate of Merger”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, in such form as required by, and executed in accordance with the relevant provisions of, the DGCL (the date and time of such filing, or if another date and time is specified in such filing, such specified date and time, being the “Effective Time”).

Section 1.4 Effect of the Merger. At the Effective Time, the effect of the Merger shall be as provided in the applicable provisions of the DGCL. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, at the Effective Time, except as otherwise provided herein, all the property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of the Company and Merger Sub shall vest in the Surviving Corporation, and all debts, liabilities and duties of the Company and Merger Sub shall become the debts, liabilities and duties of the Surviving Corporation.

Section 1.5 Certificate of Incorporation; By-laws. At the Effective Time, the Certificate of Incorporation and the By-laws of the Surviving Corporation shall be amended in their entirety to contain the provisions set forth in the Certificate of Incorporation and the By-laws of Merger Sub, each as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time.

Section 1.6 Directors. The directors of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the initial directors of the Surviving Corporation, each to hold office until their successors have been duly elected or appointed and qualified or until their earlier death, resignation or removal in accordance with the Certificate of Incorporation and By-laws of the Surviving Corporation. The Company shall cause each member of the Company Board to tender his or her resignation in his or her capacity as such prior to the Effective Time, with each such resignation to be effective as of the Effective Time.

Article 2.
Conversion of Securities; Exchange of Certificates and Book-Entry Shares

Section 2.1 Conversion of Securities. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Merger Sub, the Company or the holders of any of the following securities:

(a) Conversion Generally. Each share of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company (“Company Common Stock”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than any Excluded Shares), shall be converted into the right to receive $11.00 in cash (such amount, the “Per Share Merger Consideration”), payable to the holder thereof, without interest. All such shares of Company Common Stock shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist, and each certificate or certificates which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented

outstanding shares of Company Common Stock (the “Certificates”) and any non-certificated shares of Company Common Stock represented in book-entry form (the “Book-Entry Shares”) shall thereafter represent the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration therefor.

(b) Cancellation of Certain Shares. Each share of Company Common Stock (i) held by Parent, Merger Sub or any wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent or Merger Sub (other than shares of Company Common Stock held for the benefit of customers or other third parties in the ordinary course of business, including shares held by investment funds), (ii) held in the treasury of the Company or by any wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time and (iii) that are owned by stockholders (“Dissenting Stockholders”) who have perfected and not withdrawn a demand for appraisal rights pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL (each, an “Excluded Share” and collectively, “Excluded Shares”) shall by virtue of the Merger, cease to be outstanding, be canceled without payment of any consideration therefor and shall cease to exist, subject to any rights the holder thereof may have under Section 2.3.

(c) Merger Sub. Each share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and be exchanged for one newly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock of the Surviving Corporation.

Section 2.2 Exchange of Certificates.

(a) Exchange Agent. On or prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall designate Computershare or another bank or trust company designated by Parent and reasonably satisfactory to the Company to act as exchange agent in the Merger (the “Exchange Agent”). Within two (2) Business Days following the Effective Time (with respect to such cash held by the Company and the Company Subsidiaries) and on or prior to the Effective Time (with respect to all other of such cash), Parent shall deposit or shall cause to be deposited with the Exchange Agent for the benefit of the holders of shares of Company Common Stock, for exchange in accordance with this Article 2, through the Exchange Agent, cash in U.S. dollars in an amount sufficient to pay the aggregate Per Share Merger Consideration as provided herein (such cash, and all interest and earnings thereon, being hereinafter referred to as the “Exchange Fund”) payable pursuant to Section 2.1 in exchange for outstanding shares of Company Common Stock. The Exchange Agent will invest the funds included in the Exchange Fund in the manner directed by Parent in (i) short term direct obligations of the United States of America with maturities of no more than thirty days, (ii) short term obligations for which the full faith and credit of the United States of America is pledged to provide for payment of all principal and interest, (iii) certificates of deposit, bank repurchase agreements or banker’s acceptances of commercial banks with capital exceeding $1 billion, (iv) money market funds having a rating in the highest rating from either Xxxxx’x Investor Services, Inc. or Standard & Poor’s, (v) commercial paper obligations receiving the highest rating from either Xxxxx’x Investor Services, Inc. or Standard & Poor’s or (vi) a combination of the foregoing. Any interest or other income resulting from the investment of such funds shall be added to the Exchange Fund and any amounts in excess of the amounts payable under Section 2.1(a) shall be promptly returned to the Surviving Corporation. The Exchange Agent shall, pursuant to irrevocable instructions, deliver the Per Share Merger Consideration contemplated to be paid pursuant to Section 2.1 out of the Exchange Fund. The Exchange Fund shall not be used for any other purpose.

(b) Exchange Procedures. Promptly after the Effective Time, Parent shall instruct the Exchange Agent to mail to each holder of record of a Certificate or Book-Entry Shares (other than holders of Excluded Shares) which, in each case, were converted into a right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration at the Effective Time pursuant to this Agreement: (i) a letter of transmittal (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificate(s) shall pass, only upon proper delivery of the Certificate(s) (or affidavit of loss in lieu of the Certificate(s) as provided in Section 2.2(f)) to the Exchange Agent and shall be in customary form) and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificate(s) (or affidavit of loss in lieu of the Certificate(s) as provided in Section 2.2(f)) or Book-Entry Shares in exchange for payment of the Per Share Merger Consideration. Upon surrender of a Certificate (or affidavit of loss in lieu of the Certificates as provided in Section 2.2(f)) or a Book-Entry Share for cancellation to the Exchange Agent together with such letter of transmittal, properly completed and duly executed, and such other documents as may be required pursuant to such instructions, the holder of such Certificate or Book-Entry Share shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor the Per Share Merger Consideration (after giving effect to any required Tax withholdings as provided in Section 2.2(g)) which such holder has the right to receive in respect of the shares of Company Common Stock formerly represented by such Certificate or Book-Entry Share, and the Certificate or Book-Entry Share so surrendered shall forthwith be canceled. No interest will be paid or accrued on any Per Share Merger Consideration payable to holders of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares. In the event of a transfer of ownership of shares of Company Common Stock which is not registered in the transfer records of the Company, the Per Share Merger Consideration may be issued to a transferee if the Certificate representing such shares of Company Common Stock is presented to the Exchange Agent, accompanied by all documents required to evidence and effect such transfer and by evidence that any applicable stock transfer Taxes have been paid. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 2.2, each Certificate or Book-Entry Share shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive upon such surrender the Per Share Merger Consideration.

(c) Further Rights in Company Common Stock. All Per Share Merger Consideration paid in accordance with the terms hereof shall be deemed to have been issued in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such shares of Company Common Stock.

(d) Termination of Exchange Fund. Any portion of the Exchange Fund which remains undistributed to the holders of Company Common Stock for one hundred eighty (180) days after the Effective Time shall be delivered to Parent upon demand, and any holders of Company Common Stock (other than Excluded Shares) who have not theretofore complied with this Article 2 shall thereafter look only to Parent for the Per Share Merger Consideration (after giving effect to any required Tax withholdings as provided in Section 2.2(g)), without any interest thereon.

(e) No Liability. None of Parent, the Surviving Corporation, the Exchange Agent or any other Person shall be liable to any holder of shares of Company Common Stock for any cash delivered to a public official pursuant to any abandoned property, escheat or similar Law.

(f) Lost, Stolen or Destroyed 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, the posting by such Person of a bond, in such reasonable amount as Parent may direct, as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it or the Surviving Corporation with respect to such Certificate, the Exchange Agent will issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate an amount in cash equal to the number of shares of Company Common Stock represented by such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate multiplied by the Per Share Merger Consideration without any interest thereon.

(g) Withholding. Parent, the Surviving Corporation or the Exchange Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder of Company Common Stock, Company Options or Company RSU Awards such amounts as Parent, the Surviving Corporation or the Exchange Agent are required to deduct and withhold under the Code, or any provision of state, local or foreign Tax Law, with respect to the making of such payment. If any deduction or withholding may be avoided by such Person providing information or documentation to the applicable payor, such payor shall request such information or documentation from such Person and use commercially reasonable efforts to avoid such deduction or withholding. To the extent that amounts are so withheld by Parent, the Surviving Corporation or the Exchange Agent and remitted to the appropriate taxing authority, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of Company Common Stock, Company Options or Company RSU Awards in respect of whom such deduction and withholding was made by Parent, the Surviving Corporation or the Exchange Agent.

Section 2.3 Dissenters’ Rights. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if any Dissenting Stockholder shall properly demand to be paid the “fair value” of such holder’s shares of Company Common Stock, as provided in Section 262 of the DGCL, such shares shall not be converted into or exchangeable for the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration except as provided in this Section 2.3, and the Dissenting Stockholders shall be entitled to receive from the Surviving Corporation such consideration as may be determined to be due pursuant to the DGCL, unless and until such holders fail to perfect or effectively withdraw or lose their rights to appraisal and payment under the DGCL. The Company shall give Parent prompt notice of any written demands for appraisal, attempted withdrawals of such demands, and any other instruments served pursuant to applicable law that are received by the Company relating to stockholders’ rights of appraisal. Parent shall have the right to direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to any such demands. The Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of Parent, voluntarily make any payment with respect to, or settle or offer to settle, any such demand for payment or approve any withdrawal of such demands. If any Dissenting Stockholder shall fail to perfect or shall have effectively withdrawn or lost the right to dissent, the shares of Company Common Stock held by such Dissenting Stockholder shall thereupon be treated as though such shares had been converted into the Per Share Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.1.

Section 2.4 Stock Transfer Books. At the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed and thereafter, there shall be no further registration of transfers of shares of Company Common Stock theretofore outstanding on the records of the Company. From and after the Effective Time, the holders of Certificates representing shares of Company Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall cease to

have any rights with respect to such shares of Company Common Stock except as otherwise provided herein or by Law. On or after the Effective Time, any Certificates presented to the Exchange Agent, Parent or the Surviving Corporation for transfer, shall be canceled and exchanged for the cash amount in immediately available funds to which the holder of the Certificate is entitled pursuant to this Article 2.

Section 2.5 Stock Options. At the Effective Time, each outstanding Company Option, whether vested or unvested, shall, automatically and without any required action on the part of the holder thereof, be cancelled and converted into the right to receive an amount in cash (such consideration, the “Option Consideration”), less applicable Tax withholdings, equal to the product of (a) the number of shares of Company Common Stock underlying such Company Option and (b) the excess, if any, of the Per Share Merger Consideration over the exercise price per share of such Company Option. The Option Consideration shall be payable in a lump sum, and Parent shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to make such payments no later than the first payroll period following the Effective Time and in any event no later than thirty (30) calendar days following the Closing Date. For the avoidance of doubt, any Company Option which has an exercise price per share that is greater than or equal to the Per Share Merger Consideration shall be canceled at the Effective Time for no consideration or payment.

Section 2.6 Company RSU Awards. At the Effective Time, each outstanding Company RSU Award, whether vested or unvested, shall, automatically and without any required action on the part of the holder thereof, be cancelled and converted into the right to receive (without interest) an amount in cash less applicable Tax withholdings, and Parent shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to make such payments no later than the first payroll period following the Effective Time and in any event no later than thirty (30) calendar days following the Closing Date, equal to the product of (a) the Per Share Merger Consideration, and (b) the number of shares of Company Common Stock underlying such Company RSU Award immediately prior to the Effective Time.

Section 2.7 Company ESPP. Effective as of the day immediately prior to the Closing Date, any offering period under the Company ESPP then in progress shall automatically terminate and accumulated payroll deductions shall be used to purchase shares of Company Common Stock pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Company ESPP. In addition, the Company (or the Company Board or appropriate committee thereof) shall take all requisite action to ensure that, as of the Effective Time, the Company ESPP is terminated.

Article 3.

Section 5.2 Proxy Statement; Company Stockholder Meeting.

(a) The Company shall prepare and cause to be filed with the SEC, as promptly as practicable after the date of this Agreement, and in any event within 20 Business Days after the date of this Agreement, in preliminary form, a proxy statement relating to the Company Stockholder Meeting (together with any amendments or supplements thereto, the “Proxy Statement”). Unless withdrawn in accordance with Section 5.4(c), the Company Board Recommendation with respect to the Merger shall be included in the Proxy Statement. The Company shall promptly notify Parent upon the receipt of any comments from the SEC (or the staff of the SEC) or any request from the SEC (or the staff of the SEC) for amendments or supplements to the Proxy Statement, and shall provide Parent with copies of all correspondence

between the Company and any Company Representatives, on the one hand, and the SEC (or the staff of the SEC), on the other hand. The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to respond to any comments on the Proxy Statement or requests for additional information from the SEC (or the staff of the SEC) as promptly as practicable after receipt of any such comments or requests. Prior to filing or mailing the Proxy Statement (or any amendment or supplement thereto) or responding to any comments of the SEC (or the staff of the SEC) with respect thereto, the Company shall provide Parent a reasonable opportunity to review and to propose comments on such document or response (which comments shall be provided promptly and be considered in good faith).

(b) Parent shall furnish to the Company all information concerning Parent and Merger Sub as may be reasonably requested by the Company in connection with the Proxy Statement, including such information that is required by the Exchange Act to be set forth in the Proxy Statement, and shall otherwise reasonably assist and cooperate with the Company in the preparation of the Proxy Statement and the resolution of comments from the SEC (or the staff of the SEC).

(c) The Company shall, as promptly as reasonably practicable, (x) establish a record date for and give notice of and otherwise duly call a meeting of its stockholders for the purpose of voting upon the adoption of this Agreement (including any adjournment or postponement thereof, the “Company Stockholder Meeting”) and (y) mail to the holders of Company Common Stock as of the record date established for the Company Stockholder Meeting a Proxy Statement (such date, the “Proxy Date”). The Company shall convene and hold the Company Stockholder Meeting as promptly as reasonably practicable after the Proxy Date; provided, however, that, without the prior written consent of Parent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), the Company Stockholder Meeting shall not be held later than thirty (30) Business Days after the clearance of the Proxy Statement by the SEC; provided, further, that the Company may postpone, recess or adjourn the Company Stockholder Meeting: (i) with the consent of Parent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), (ii) for the absence of a quorum, (iii) to solicit additional proxies for the purpose of obtaining the Required Company Stockholder Approval or (iv) to allow reasonable additional time for the filing and distribution of any supplemental or amended disclosure which the Company Board has determined in good faith (after consultation with its outside legal counsel) is necessary under applicable Laws and for such supplemental or amended disclosure to be disseminated to and reviewed by the Company’s stockholders prior to the Company Stockholders Meeting. Unless the Company Board shall have effected an Adverse Recommendation Change, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to solicit proxies in favor of the adoption of this Agreement and take all other action reasonably necessary or advisable to secure the Required Company Stockholder Approval.

(d) If at any time prior to the Effective Time any event or circumstance relating to the Company or Parent or any of the Company’s or Parent’s Subsidiaries, or their respective officers or directors, is discovered by the Company or Parent, respectively, which, pursuant to the Exchange Act, should reasonably be set forth in an amendment or a supplement to the Proxy Statement, such party shall promptly inform the others. Each of Parent, Merger Sub and the Company agrees to correct any information provided by it for use in the Proxy Statement which shall have become false or misleading.

Section 5.3 Access to Information; Confidentiality.

(a) During the Pre-Closing Period, the Company shall provide Parent with (i) reasonable access to the employees of the Company or any Company Subsidiaries (“Employees”), during regular business hours, upon reasonable advance notice and without unduly interfering with operations for the purpose of providing Parent with an opportunity to discuss post-Closing employment terms and opportunities; provided that one of the persons identified in clause (a) of “Knowledge” shall be permitted to attend any meetings with employees, and (ii) to the extent reasonably requested by Parent, information about each Employee, including the current terms and conditions of his or her employment, and complete copies or, where not previously reduced to writing, summaries of all current agreements and arrangements with each such Employee, subject to applicable Law. Upon reasonable notice, during the Pre-Closing Period, the Company shall, and shall cause each Company Subsidiary and each of the Company Representatives to (1) provide to Parent and Merger Sub and the Parent Representatives access, at reasonable times upon prior notice, to Company Representatives and the properties, offices and other facilities of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries and to the books and records thereof and (2) furnish promptly such information concerning the business, properties, Contracts, assets, liabilities, personnel and other aspects of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries as Parent may reasonably request; provided that such investigation shall only be upon reasonable notice and shall be at Parent’s sole cost and expense. No investigation conducted pursuant to this Section 5.3 shall affect or be deemed to modify or limit any representation or warranty made in this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, the Company shall promptly furnish to Parent reports with respect to the Company’s consolidated working capital and Cash and Cash Equivalent balances prepared in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice.

(b) With respect to the information disclosed pursuant to Section 5.3(a), the parties shall comply with, and shall cause their respective Representatives to comply with, all of their respective obligations under the Confidentiality Agreement, dated as of December 16, 2015, as amended, executed by the Company and Parent (the “Confidentiality Agreement”).

(c) This Section 5.3 shall not require the Company to permit any access, or to disclose any information, that would reasonably be expected to (i) result in any violation of its obligations with respect to confidentiality if the Company shall have used commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the consent of a necessary Third Party to such inspection or disclosure or (ii) cause any privilege (including attorney-client privilege) that the Company or any Company Subsidiary would be entitled to assert to be undermined with respect to such information and such undermining of such privilege could in the Company’s good faith judgment (after consultation with counsel, which may be in-house counsel) adversely affect in any material respect the Company’s position in any pending or, what the Company believes in good faith (after consultation with counsel, which may be in-house counsel) could be, future litigation; provided that, the parties hereto shall cooperate in seeking to find a way to allow disclosure of such information (including by entering into a joint-defense or similar agreement) to the extent doing so (1) would not (in the good faith belief of the Company (after consultation with counsel, which may be in-house counsel)) reasonably be likely to result in the violation of any such obligations with respect to confidentiality or reasonably be likely to cause such

privilege to be undermined with respect to such information or (2) could reasonably (in the good faith belief of the Company (after consultation with counsel, which may be in-house counsel)) be managed through the use of customary “clean-room” arrangements pursuant to which non-employee Representatives of the other party shall be provided access to such information; provided, further, that the Company shall (x) notify Parent and Merger Sub that such disclosures are reasonably likely to violate its or any Company Subsidiaries’ confidentiality obligations or are reasonably likely to cause such privilege to be undermined and (y) communicate to the Parent and Merger Sub in reasonable detail the facts giving rise to such notification and the subject matter of such information (to the extent it is able to do so in accordance with the first proviso in this Section 5.3(c)).

Section 5.4 No Solicitation of Transactions.

(a) During the Pre-Closing Period, the Company shall, and shall cause the Company Subsidiaries and the Company Representatives (other than Company Representatives that are not directors, officers or employees, which the Company shall instruct and use commercially reasonable efforts to cause) to, (i) cease and cause to be terminated any existing solicitation, encouragement, discussion or negotiation with any Third Party that may be ongoing with respect to an Acquisition Proposal, and (ii) request any such Third Party to promptly comply with its obligations under the applicable confidentiality agreement to return or destroy all confidential information concerning the Company and the Company Subsidiaries. Subject to Section 5.4(b), during the Pre-Closing Period, the Company shall not, and shall cause the Company Subsidiaries and the Company Representatives (other than Company Representatives that are not directors, officers or employees, which the Company shall instruct and use commercially reasonable efforts to cause) not to (x) solicit, initiate, or knowingly facilitate or encourage any inquiry, discussion, offer, proposal or request that constitutes, or could reasonably be expected to lead to, an Acquisition Proposal, (y) engage in, enter into, continue or otherwise participate in any discussions or negotiations with, or furnish any non-public information relating to the Company or any Company Subsidiary to, or afford access to the books or records or officers of the Company or any Company Subsidiary to, any Third Party with respect to an Acquisition Proposal or (z) otherwise knowingly facilitate any effort or attempt to make an Acquisition Proposal.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 5.4(a), at any time following the date hereof and prior to adoption of this Agreement by the Required Company Stockholder Approval, but not after, the Company may (x) furnish non-public information to a Third Party in response to a request therefor by such Third Party who has made a bona fide written Acquisition Proposal that did not result from a violation of this Section 5.4, providing for the acquisition of over 50% of the assets (on a consolidated basis) or a majority of the voting power of the Equity Interests of the Company or (y) engage in discussions or negotiations with such Third Party with respect to such an Acquisition Proposal; provided that (1) prior to so furnishing such information, the Company receives from the Third Party an executed Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement, (2) any non-public information concerning the Company or any Company Subsidiary made available to any Third Party shall, to the extent not previously made available to Parent, be made available to Parent as promptly as reasonably practicable (and in no event later than twenty-four hours) after it is made available to such Third Party, (3) prior to taking the action described in clauses (x) or (y) above, the Company Board

determines in good faith, after consultation with its financial and outside legal advisors, that such action is reasonably necessary in order for such directors to comply with the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law and (4) in each such case referred to in clauses (x) or (y) above, the Company Board has determined in good faith based on the information then available and after consultation with its financial advisor that such Acquisition Proposal either constitutes a Superior Proposal or is reasonably likely to result in a Superior Proposal. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 5.4 or elsewhere in this Agreement, the Company, the Company Subsidiaries and their Representatives may, in any event, contact any Third Party to (A) seek to clarify and understand the terms and conditions of any inquiry or proposal made by such Third Party following the date hereof solely to determine whether such inquiry or proposal constitutes or could reasonably be expected to lead to a Superior Proposal, and (B) inform such Third Party that has made or, to the Knowledge of the Company, is considering making an Acquisition Proposal of the provisions of this Section 5.4; provided that the Company shall notify Parent of its intention to contact such Third Party prior to doing so.

(c) Except as expressly permitted by this Section 5.4(c), neither the Company Board nor any committee thereof shall (i) withdraw, withhold, change, amend, modify or qualify, or otherwise propose publicly to withdraw, withhold, change, amend, modify or qualify, in a manner adverse to Parent, the Company Board Recommendation, (ii) fail to include the Company Board Recommendation in the Proxy Statement, (iii) approve or recommend, or publicly propose to approve or recommend, any Acquisition Proposal made or received after the date hereof (any of the actions described in clauses (i) through (iii) of this Section 5.4(c), an “Adverse Recommendation Change”), or (iv) cause or permit the Company to enter into any letter of intent, memorandum of understanding, agreement in principle, acquisition agreement, merger agreement or other definitive agreement (other than an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement in accordance with Section 5.4(b)) with respect to any Acquisition Proposal (an “Alternative Acquisition Agreement”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, at any time prior to the receipt of the Required Company Stockholder Approval, but not after, the Company Board shall be permitted, subject to compliance with Section 5.4(d), (x) to terminate this Agreement to concurrently enter into a definitive Alternative Acquisition Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1(e) and/or (y) to effect any Adverse Recommendation Change with respect to a Superior Proposal or an Intervening Event, if the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with its financial and outside legal advisors, that such action is reasonably necessary in order for such directors to comply with the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law.

(d) The Company Board shall not be entitled to effect an Adverse Recommendation Change or terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1(e) unless (i) with respect to an Acquisition Proposal, such Acquisition Proposal was not solicited, initiated, encouraged or facilitated in breach of this Agreement and the Company Board determines in good faith, based on the information then available and after consultation with its financial advisor, that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal, (ii) the Company has provided written notice (a “Notice of Adverse Recommendation Change”) to Parent that the Company intends to take such action, which notice includes, as applicable, (x) written notice of the material terms of the Superior Proposal which enabled the Company Board to make the determination that the Acquisition Proposal is a Superior Proposal, or (y) in the case of any Adverse Recommendation Change that is related to an Intervening Event, a reasonably detailed

summary of the basis of such action, (iii) during the four (4) calendar day period following Parent’s receipt of the Notice of Adverse Recommendation Change, the Company shall, and shall cause the Company Subsidiaries and the Company Representatives (other than Company Representatives that are not directors, officers or employees, which the Company shall instruct and use commercially reasonable efforts to cause) to, negotiate with Parent in good faith (to the extent Parent desires to negotiate) to make such adjustments in the terms and conditions of this Agreement so that such Superior Proposal ceases to constitute a Superior Proposal or, in the case of any Intervening Event, as would permit the Company Board (consistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law) to not make an Adverse Recommendation Change; and (iv) following the end of the four (4) calendar day period, the Company Board shall have determined in good faith, after consultation with its financial and outside legal advisors, taking into account any changes to this Agreement irrevocably offered in writing by Parent in response to the Notice of Adverse Recommendation Change or otherwise, that the Superior Proposal, as the case may be, giving rise to the Notice of Adverse Recommendation Change continues to constitute a Superior Proposal or, in the case of any Adverse Recommendation Change that is related to an Intervening Event, that such Adverse Recommendation Change would be reasonably necessary in order for the directors to comply with such directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law. In the event of any material amendment of such Superior Proposal or any material change to the facts and circumstances relating to the Intervening Event, the Company shall be required to issue a new Notice of Adverse Recommendation Change or otherwise comply again with the requirements of this Section 5.4(d); provided, however, that for purposes of this sentence, references to the four (4) calendar day period above shall be deemed to be references to a three (3) calendar day period.

(e) As promptly as reasonably practicable (and in any event within twenty four (24) hours) after receipt of any Acquisition Proposal or any request for non-public information or inquiry that would reasonably be expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal, the Company shall provide Parent with written notice of the material terms and conditions of such Acquisition Proposal, request or inquiry, and the identity of the Person or group of Persons making any such Acquisition Proposal, request or inquiry. In addition, the Company shall provide Parent as promptly as reasonably practicable (and in any event within twenty four (24) hours) with written notice setting forth all such information as is reasonably necessary to keep Parent reasonably informed in all material respects of all oral or written communications regarding, and the status and material details (including material amendments or proposed material amendments) of, any such Acquisition Proposal, request or inquiry.

(f) Nothing contained in this Agreement shall prohibit the Company or the Company Board, directly or indirectly through its Representatives, from complying with its disclosure obligations under U.S. federal or state Law with regard to an Acquisition Proposal; provided, however, such disclosure will in no way eliminate or modify the effect that any action pursuant to such U.S. federal or state Law would otherwise have under this Agreement.

(g) From the date of this Agreement until the earlier of the Effective Time or the date, if any, on which this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Article 7, the Company shall not terminate, amend, modify or waive any provision of any confidentiality, “standstill” or similar agreement to which the Company or any Company Subsidiary is a party and shall enforce, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law, the provisions of any

such agreement, including by obtaining injunctions to prevent any breaches of such agreements and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions thereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Company shall be permitted to terminate, amend, modify, waive or fail to enforce any provision of any confidentiality, “standstill” or similar obligation of any Person if the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that such action is reasonably necessary in order for the directors to comply with such directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law.

Section 5.5 Consummation of the Merger.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, during the Pre-Closing Period, each of Parent, on the one hand, and the Company, on the other hand, will cooperate with the other and use (and will cause their respective Subsidiaries to use) its commercially reasonable efforts to (i) take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and do, or cause to be done, all things, necessary, proper or advisable to cause the conditions to the Closing to be satisfied as promptly as practicable (and in any event no later than the Outside Date) and to consummate and make effective, in the most expeditious manner reasonably practicable, the Merger, including preparing and filing promptly, and fully all documentation to effect all necessary filings, notifications, notices, petitions, statements, registrations, submissions of information, applications and other documents, and (ii) obtain promptly (and in any event no later than the Outside Date) all approvals, consents, clearances, expirations or terminations of waiting periods, registrations, permits, authorizations and other confirmations from any Governmental Entity or Third Party necessary, proper or advisable to consummate the Merger. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, nothing in this Agreement shall require the Company to pay any consideration to a Third Party from whom consent, approval or waiver is requested.

(b) Without xxxxxx the foregoing, within ten (10) calendar days following the date of this Agreement, the Company will submit the notices described in Section 3.5(b) of the Company Disclosure Schedule in accordance with the applicable Utilities Laws.

(c) Each of the parties hereto will use its commercially reasonable efforts to (i) cooperate in all respects with each other in connection with any filing or submission with a Governmental Entity in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and in connection with any investigation or other inquiry by or before a Governmental Entity relating to the Merger, including any proceeding initiated by a private Person, (ii) promptly inform the other party of (and supply to the other party) any communication received by such party from, or given by such party to, any Governmental Entity and any material communication received or given in connection with any proceeding by a private Person, in each case regarding the Merger, (iii) permit the other parties to review in advance and incorporate the other parties’ reasonable comments in any filing or other communication to be given by it to any Governmental Entity with respect to obtaining any clearances required in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and (iv) consult with the other parties in advance of any meeting or teleconference with any Governmental Entity or, in connection with any proceeding by a private Person, with any other Person, and, to the extent not prohibited by the Governmental Entity or other Person, give the other parties the opportunity to attend and participate in such meetings and

teleconferences. Subject to Section 5.3, the Parties will use reasonable efforts to share information protected from disclosure under the attorney-client privilege, work product doctrine, joint defense privilege or any other privilege pursuant to this Section 5.5(c) in a manner so as to preserve the applicable privilege.

Section 5.6 Parent Financing. Parent agrees that it shall not take any action with the Knowledge that the taking of that action would or would reasonably be expected to cause Parent not to have, immediately following the Effective Time, Cash and Cash Equivalents sufficient to pay the Total Merger Consideration.

Section 5.7 Certain Notices. During the Pre-Closing Period, each party hereto shall, promptly after obtaining Knowledge of an event set forth in this Section 5.7, notify the other party hereto of (i) the occurrence, or non-occurrence, of any event that would reasonably be likely to cause any condition to the obligations of any party to effect the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement not to be satisfied or (ii) the failure of the Company or Parent, as the case may be, to comply with or satisfy any covenant, condition or agreement to be complied with or satisfied by it pursuant to this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement which would reasonably be expected to result in any condition to the obligations of any party to effect the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement not to be satisfied; provided, however, that the delivery of any notice pursuant to this Section 5.7 shall not cure any breach of any representation or warranty requiring disclosure of such matter prior to the date of this Agreement or otherwise limit or affect the remedies available hereunder to the party receiving such notice.

Section 5.8 Public Announcements. Without limiting any other provision of this Agreement, each of Parent and the Company shall consult with the other and issue a joint press release with respect to the execution of this Agreement. Thereafter, neither the Company nor Parent, nor any of their respective Subsidiaries, shall issue any press release or other announcement (to the extent not previously publicly disclosed or made in accordance with this Agreement) with respect to this Agreement or the Merger without the prior consent of the other party (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), except (i) as such press release or other announcement may be required by applicable Law or the applicable rules of a national securities exchange, in which case the party required to issue the release or make the announcement shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to provide the other party with a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such release or announcement in advance of its issuance, (ii) that each of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries may make announcements from time to time to their respective employees, customers, suppliers and other business relations and otherwise as the Company may reasonably determine is necessary to comply with applicable Law or the requirements of any agreement to which the Company or any Company Subsidiary is a party and (iii) in connection with an Adverse Recommendation Change if and to the extent permitted by the terms of this Agreement.

(b) For a period of one (1) year following the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall (and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to) provide to (i) each Continuing Employee who remains employed by Parent or any of its Subsidiaries a base salary or wage rate, as applicable, and annual cash bonus opportunity that is not less favorable than the base salary or wage rate (as applicable) and annual bonus opportunity provided to such Continuing Employee immediately prior to the Effective Time and (ii) Continuing Employees who remain employed by Parent, employee benefits (including severance benefits, but excluding benefits provided pursuant to any defined benefit pension plans) that are, taken as a whole, at least as favorable in the aggregate to the employee benefits provided by Parent to similarly situated employees of Parent.

(c) From and after the Effective Time, for purposes of determining eligibility to participate, vesting and entitlement to benefits where length of service is relevant under any benefit plan or arrangement of Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective Affiliates (each, a “Parent Benefit Plan”), Parent shall, and shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, cause each Continuing Employee to receive service credit for service to the same extent such service credit was granted under Plans (other than for purposes of benefit accrual under a defined benefit plan) immediately prior to the Effective Time. Parent shall, and shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, (i) waive all limitations as to preexisting conditions exclusions, actively at work requirements, waiting periods and insurability requirements with respect to participation and coverage requirements applicable to the Continuing Employees (and any dependents or beneficiaries thereof) under any welfare benefit plans that such employees may be eligible to participate in after the Effective Time, other than limitations or waiting periods that are already in effect with respect to such employees and that have not been satisfied as of the Effective Time under a corresponding welfare benefit plan maintained for the Continuing Employees immediately prior to the Effective Time and (ii) cause any co-payments, deductibles and other out-of-pocket expenses incurred by a Continuing Employee during the plan year that includes the Effective Time to be credited for purposes of satisfying all deductible, co-payment and maximum out-of-pocket requirements applicable to such Continuing Employee and his or her covered dependents for the applicable plan year of each comparable Parent Benefit Plan, as if such amounts had been paid in accordance with such plan.

(d) Prior to the Effective Time, if requested by Parent in writing no later than fifteen (15) days prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall cause the Company’s 401(k) Plan (the “Company 401(k) Plan”) to be terminated effective immediately prior to the Effective Time. In the event that Parent requests that the Company 401(k) Plan be terminated, the Company shall provide Parent with evidence that such Plan has been terminated (the form and substance of which shall be subject to review and approval by Parent) not later than five calendar days preceding the Effective Time. If Parent requests the Company to terminate the Company 401(k) Plan as described above, prior to the Effective Time and thereafter (as applicable), the Company and Parent shall take any and all actions as may be required, including

amendments to the Company 401(k) Plan and/or the tax-qualified defined contribution retirement plan designated by Parent (the “Parent 401(k) Plan”) to permit each Continuing Employee (i) to participate in the Parent 401(k) Plan effective as of the Effective Time, and (ii) to make rollover contributions of “eligible rollover distributions” (within the meaning of Section 401(a)(31) of the Code, including of loans) in the form of cash, notes (in the case of loans) or a combination thereof, in an amount equal to the account balance distributed or distributable to such Continuing Employee from the Company 401(k) Plan to the Parent 401(k) Plan.

(e) Prior to making any written communications to the employees of the Company or any Company Subsidiaries pertaining to compensation or benefit matters that are affected by the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or that may become payable to such employees following the Closing (excluding the treatment of, and payment for, any outstanding Company Options or Company RSU Awards), the Company shall provide Parent with a copy of the intended communication, Parent shall have a reasonable period of time to review and comment on the communication, and the Company shall give reasonable and good faith consideration to any comments made by Parent (it being understood that Parent shall provide any comments thereon as soon as reasonably practicable). Parent and the Company shall cooperate in providing to such employees any such mutually agreeable communication (provided, that any communication required by law need not be mutually agreed).

The provisions of this Section 5.9(f) are solely for the benefit of the parties to this Agreement, and no Continuing Employee (including any beneficiary or dependent thereof) shall be regarded for any purpose as a third-party beneficiary of this Agreement, and no provision of this Section 5.9(f) shall create such rights in any such Persons.

Section 5.10 Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

(a) Without limiting any additional rights that any director, officer, trustee, employee, agent or fiduciary may have under any employment or indemnification agreement, the Company Certificate and the Company By-laws, this Agreement or, if applicable, similar organizational documents or agreements of any of the Company Subsidiaries, from and after the Effective Time, Parent and the Surviving Corporation, jointly and severally, will: (i) indemnify and hold harmless each Person who is now, or has been or becomes at any time prior to the Effective Time, an officer or director of the Company or any Company Subsidiary (solely when acting in their capacity as a director or officer or as an employee, member, trustee or fiduciary of another corporation, foundation, partnership, joint venture, trust, pension or other employee benefit plan or enterprise (whether or not such other entity or enterprise is affiliated with the Company) serving at the request of or on behalf of the Company or any Company Subsidiary and together with such Person’s heirs, executors or administrators) determined as of the Effective Time (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”) to the fullest extent authorized or permitted by applicable Law in connection with any Claim or Action against any losses, claims,

damages, liabilities, costs, Indemnification Expenses, judgments, fines, penalties and amounts paid in settlement, including all interest, assessments and other charges paid, arising out of matters existing or occurring at or prior to the Effective Time; and (ii) promptly pay on behalf of or, within fifteen (15) calendar days after any request for advancement, advance (provided, that the Person to whom expenses are advanced provides an undertaking to repay such advances if it is ultimately determined that such Person is not entitled to indemnification) to each of the Indemnified Parties, any Indemnification Expenses incurred in defending any Claim or Action in advance of the final disposition of such Claim or Action. The indemnification and advancement obligations of Parent and the Surviving Corporation pursuant to this Section 5.10(a) extend to acts or omissions occurring at or before the Effective Time and any Claim or Action relating thereto (including with respect to any acts or omissions occurring in connection with the approval of this Agreement and the consummation of the Merger and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the consideration and approval thereof and the process undertaken in connection therewith and any Claim or Action relating thereto), and all rights to indemnification and advancement conferred hereunder continue as to any Indemnified Party who has ceased to be a director or officer of the Company or any Company Subsidiary after the date hereof and inure to the benefit of such Person’s heirs, executors and personal and legal representatives. As used in this Section 5.10: (x) the term “Claim” means any threatened, asserted, pending or completed Action, whether instituted by any Governmental Entity or any Third Party, that any Indemnified Party in good faith believes might lead to the institution of any Action, arising out of or pertaining to matters that relate to such Indemnified Party’s duties or service as a director or officer of the Company or of any of the Company Subsidiaries or as a trustee of (or in a similar capacity with) any compensation and benefit plan of the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries; (y) the term “Indemnification Expenses” means reasonable attorneys’ fees and all other costs, expenses and obligations (including experts’ fees, travel expenses, court costs, retainers, transcript fees, duplicating, printing and binding costs, as well as telecommunications, postage and courier charges) paid or incurred in connection with investigating, defending (including on appeal), or preparing to defend any Claim for which indemnification is sought pursuant to this Section 5.10(a); and (z) the phrase “to the fullest extent authorized or permitted by applicable Law” includes, but is not limited to (1) to the fullest extent authorized or permitted by any provision of the DGCL that authorizes or permits additional indemnification by agreement or otherwise, or the corresponding provision of any amendment to or replacement of the DGCL and (2) to the fullest extent authorized or permitted by any amendments to or replacements of the DGCL adopted after the date of this Agreement that increase the extent to which an entity may indemnify its directors officers, trustees, employees, agents, or fiduciaries or Persons serving in any capacity in which any Indemnified Party serves. Any amendment, alteration or repeal of the DGCL that adversely affects any right of any Indemnified Party will be prospective only and does not limit or eliminate any such right with respect to any Claim or Action involving any occurrence or alleged occurrence of any action or omission to act that took place prior to such amendment or repeal. Neither Parent nor the Surviving Corporation will settle, compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any actual or threatened Claim or Action in respect of which indemnification has been or could be sought by such Indemnified Party hereunder unless such settlement, compromise or judgment includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such Claim or Action without admission or finding of wrongdoing, or such Indemnified Party otherwise consents thereto.

(b) Without limiting the foregoing, Parent and Merger Sub agree that the rights of the Indemnified Parties under this Section 5.10 shall be in addition to any rights such Indemnified Parties may have under the Company Certificate, the Company By-laws or indemnification agreements of the Company or any Company Subsidiary, including the Company’s form of Indemnification Agreement, as filed as exhibits to the Company SEC Filings filed prior to the date of this Agreement, which will survive the Merger and continue in full force and effect in accordance with their terms.

(c) Any Indemnified Party wishing to claim indemnification under paragraph (a) of this Section 5.10, upon learning of any such Claim or Action, shall promptly notify Parent thereof, but the failure to so notify shall not relieve Parent or the Surviving Corporation of any liability it may have to such Indemnified Party except to the extent such failure materially prejudices the indemnifying party. In the event of any such Claim or Action (whether arising before or after the Effective Time), (i) Parent or the Surviving Corporation shall have the right to assume the defense thereof, and Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall not be liable to such Indemnified Parties for any legal expenses of other counsel or any other expenses subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Parties in connection with the defense thereof, except that if Parent or the Surviving Corporation elects not to assume such defense, or counsel for the Indemnified Parties advises that there are issues which raise conflicts of interest between Parent or the Surviving Corporation and the Indemnified Parties, the Indemnified Parties may retain counsel satisfactory to them, and Parent or the Surviving Corporation shall pay all reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel for the Indemnified Parties promptly as statements therefor are received; provided, however, that Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall be obligated pursuant to this paragraph (c) to pay for only one firm of counsel for all Indemnified Parties in any jurisdiction unless the use of one counsel for such Indemnified Parties would present such counsel with a conflict of interest, provided that the fewest number of counsels necessary to avoid conflicts of interest shall be used; (ii) the Indemnified Parties will cooperate in the defense of any such matter; and (iii) Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall not be liable for any settlement effected without their prior written consent; and provided, further, that Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall not have any obligation hereunder to any Indemnified Party if and when a court of competent jurisdiction shall ultimately determine, and such determination shall have become final, that the indemnification of such Indemnified Party in the manner contemplated hereby is prohibited by applicable Law.

(d) Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall and, if the Company is unable to, Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation as of the Effective Time to obtain and fully pay for “tail” insurance policies with a claims period of at least six (6) years from and after the Effective Time from an insurance carrier with the same or better credit rating as the Company’s current insurance carrier with respect to directors’ and officers’ liability insurance and fiduciary liability insurance with benefits and levels of coverage no less favorable as the Company’s existing policies with respect to matters existing or occurring at or prior to the Effective Time (including in connection with this Agreement or the transactions or actions contemplated hereby); provided, however, that in no event shall the Company expend for such policies a premium amount in excess of the amount set forth in Section 5.10(d) the Company Disclosure Schedule. If the Company and the Surviving Corporation for any reason fail to obtain such “tail” insurance policies as of the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall, and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, continue to maintain in effect, for a period of six

(6) years from the Effective Time, the current directors’ and officers’ liability and fiduciary liability insurance policies covering the Indemnified Parties (but may substitute therefor other policies of at least the same coverage and amounts containing terms and conditions that are no less advantageous to the Indemnified Parties so long as that substitution does not result in gaps or lapses in coverage) with respect to matters occurring on or before the Effective Time, but Parent is not required to pay annual premiums in excess of 300% of the last annual premiums paid therefor prior to the date hereof and will purchase the maximum amount of coverage that can be obtained for that amount if the coverage described in this Section 5.10 would cost in excess of that amount.

(e) If Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges with or into any other Person and is not the continuing or surviving corporation, partnership or other entity of such consolidation or merger, or (ii) transfers or conveys all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, proper provision will be made so that the successors and assigns of Parent or the Surviving Corporation assume the obligations set forth in this Section 5.10.

(f) Parent will cause the Surviving Corporation to perform all of the obligations of the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries under this Section 5.10.

(g) This Section 5.10 survives the consummation of the Merger and is intended to be for the benefit of, and to be enforceable by, the Indemnified Parties, and their respective heirs and personal representatives, and will be binding on Parent, the Surviving Corporation and their respective successors and assigns.

Parent has been provided with a copy of the StayFriends Purchase Agreement as in effect on the date hereof.

(c) After the date of this Agreement, the Company shall not modify, amend or waive any provision of the MyPoints Purchase Agreement or the StayFriends Purchase Agreement unless such modification, amendment or waiver does not (i) with respect to the StayFriends Purchase Agreement, provide for any decrease in the purchase price payable thereunder or any related purchase price adjustment or change the calculation of the purchase price payable thereunder or any related purchase price adjustment, (ii) change the scope or limitations of any indemnification obligations contained therein applicable to the Company or any Company Subsidiaries or (iii) impose or leave outstanding any additional material continuing liabilities or obligations related to or arising out of the ownership or operation of the StayFriends Subsidiaries or the MyPoints Subsidiary or their respective Subsidiaries on the Company or any Company Subsidiaries.

Section 5.12 Rule 16b-3. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall take all such steps as may be reasonably necessary or advisable to cause any dispositions of Company equity securities (including derivative securities) pursuant to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement by each individual who is a director or officer of the Company subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act with respect to the Company to be exempt under Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act.

commitment or other similar fee or incur any other liability in connection with the foregoing prior to the Effective Time; provided, further, that Parent shall reimburse the Company for its reasonable out of pocket costs incurred by the Company in connection with this Section 5.14.

Section 8.7 Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of Law or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected

in any manner materially adverse to any party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner to the end that transactions contemplated hereby are fulfilled to the extent possible.

Each of the Parties agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief as provided herein on the basis that (a) either Party has an adequate remedy at law or (b) an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or equity. Each Party further agrees that no Party shall be required to obtain, furnish or post any bond or similar instrument in connection with or as a condition to obtaining any remedy referred to in this Section 8.16, and each Party irrevocably waives any right it may have to require the obtaining, furnishing or posting of any such bond or similar instrument.
