(b) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, upon the satisfaction of the Minimum Condition and the satisfaction or waiver by Merger Sub of the other conditions set forth in Annex I (collectively, the “Offer Conditions”) at any scheduled Expiration Date, Merger Sub shall (and Parent shall cause Merger Sub to) consummate the Offer in accordance with its terms and promptly accept for payment (such time of acceptance for payment, the “Acceptance Time”), and promptly thereafter pay for, all Shares validly tendered and not properly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer. The Company agrees that no Shares held by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (other than any such Shares held on behalf of third parties) will be tendered pursuant to the Offer.

(c) The Offer shall be made by means of an offer to purchase (the “Offer to Purchase”) in accordance with the terms set forth in this Agreement, the Minimum Condition and the other Offer Conditions. Without the prior written consent of the Company, Merger Sub shall not (A) decrease the Offer Price, (B) change the form of consideration payable in the Offer, (C) decrease the maximum number of Shares sought to be purchased in the Offer, (D) impose conditions to the Offer in addition to the Offer Conditions, (E) amend or modify any of the Offer Conditions in a manner that adversely affects holders of Shares generally, (F) change the Minimum Condition, (G) extend or otherwise change the Expiration Date in a manner other than as required or permitted by this Agreement or (H) provide for a “subsequent offering period” (or any extension thereof) in accordance with Rule 14d-11 under the Exchange Act. The Offer may not be terminated prior to the Expiration Date, unless this Agreement is terminated in accordance with Article VII.

(d) Unless extended pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Offer shall expire at midnight (New York City time) on the date that is twenty (20) business days (for this purpose calculated in accordance with Rule 14d-1(g)(3) under the Exchange Act) following the commencement (within the meaning of Rule 14d-2 under the Exchange Act) of the Offer (the “Initial Expiration Date”) or, if the Initial Expiration Date has been extended pursuant to and in accordance with this Agreement, the date and time to which the Offer has been so extended (the Initial Expiration Date, or such later date and time to which the Initial Expiration Date has been extended pursuant to and in accordance with this Agreement, being referred to as the “Expiration Date”).

(e) The Offer shall be extended from time to time as follows: (i) if, on the scheduled Expiration Date, the Minimum Condition has not been satisfied or any of the other Offer Conditions has not been satisfied, or waived by Parent or Merger Sub if permitted hereunder, then Merger Sub shall extend the Offer for one or more periods each consisting of not more than ten (10) business days (for this purpose calculated in accordance with Rule 14d-1(g)(3) under the Exchange Act), with the length of such periods to be determined by Parent, or such other number of business days as the parties may agree (subject to the right of Merger Sub to waive any Offer Condition (other than the Minimum Condition) in accordance with this Agreement and the parties’ respective rights to terminate this Agreement in accordance with Article VII); and (ii) Merger Sub shall extend the Offer for the minimum period required by applicable Law or the applicable rules, regulations, interpretations or positions of the SEC or its staff or the NASDAQ. Merger Sub shall not be required to extend the Offer beyond the End Date and shall not in any event extend the Offer beyond the End Date without the Company’s prior written consent.

(g) In the event that this Agreement is terminated in accordance with Article VII, Merger Sub shall (and Parent shall cause Merger Sub to) promptly irrevocably and unconditionally terminate the Offer, not acquire any Shares pursuant to the Offer and cause any depository acting on behalf of Merger Sub to return, in accordance with applicable Law, all tendered Shares to the registered holders thereof.

customary form, to be disseminated to holders of Shares as and to the extent required by applicable U.S. federal securities Laws and the rules and regulations of the SEC thereunder (collectively, “Securities Laws”).

The Company shall promptly furnish or otherwise make available to Parent and Merger Sub or Parent’s legal counsel all information concerning the Company required by the Securities Laws to be set forth in the Offer Documents as well as such other information concerning the Company and its stockholders that may be required in connection with any action contemplated by this Section 1.1(h), including communicating the Offer to the record and beneficial holders of the Shares. Subject to the right of the Company Board (or a committee thereof) to make a Company Adverse Recommendation Change pursuant to Section 5.3, the Company hereby consents to the inclusion in the Offer Documents of the Company Board Recommendation. Each party agrees to correct or supplement promptly any information provided by it for use in the Offer Documents if and to the extent that such information shall have become false or misleading in any material respect or such amendment or supplement shall become necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and Parent and Merger Sub further agree to take all steps necessary to cause the Schedule TO, as so amended or supplemented, to be filed with the SEC and the Offer Documents, as so amended or supplemented, to be disseminated to the Company’s stockholders, in each case, as and to the extent required by the Securities Laws. Parent and Merger Sub shall give (x) the Company and its counsel reasonable opportunity to review and comment on the Offer Documents prior to the filing thereof with the SEC and (y) due consideration to the reasonable additions, deletions or changes suggested by the Company and its counsel thereto. Parent and Merger Sub agree to provide the Company and its counsel with any comments Parent, Merger Sub or their counsel may receive from the SEC or its staff with respect to the Offer Documents as promptly as reasonably practicable after receipt of such comments.

(a) As promptly as practicable on the day that the Offer is commenced, the Company shall, concurrently with or following the filing of the Schedule TO, file with the SEC and disseminate to holders of Shares, in each case as and to the extent required by applicable U.S. federal securities laws, a Tender Offer Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9 (together with any exhibits, amendments or supplements thereto, the “Schedule 14D-9”) which shall (x) include the notice of appraisal rights required to be delivered by the Company under Section 262(d)(2) of the DGCL in connection with a merger effected pursuant to Section 251(h) of the DGCL, (y) subject to the right of the Company Board (or a committee thereof) to make a Company Adverse Recommendation Change pursuant to Section 5.3, reflect the Company Board Recommendation, and (z) be disseminated by the Company to its stockholders, in each case, as and to the extent required by applicable Law (including by setting the Stockholder List Date (as defined below) as the record date for the purpose of receiving the notice required by Section 262(d)(2) of the DGCL). The Company agrees that it will cause the Schedule 14D-9 filed by the Company with the SEC to comply in all material respects with applicable Securities Laws. Each party agrees to correct or supplement promptly any information provided by it for use in the Schedule 14D-9 if and to the extent that such information shall have become false or misleading in any material respect or such amendment or supplement shall become necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading , and the Company further agrees to take all steps necessary to cause the Schedule 14D-9, as so amended or supplemented, to be filed with the SEC and disseminated to its stockholders, in each case, as and to the extent required by the Securities Laws. The Company shall cooperate with the Parent and Merger Sub in order to permit the Schedule 14D-9 to be mailed to the holders of Shares together with the Offer Documents (and if so, the expense thereof shall be borne by Parent in connection with its dissemination of the Offer Documents). The Company agrees to respond as promptly as reasonably practicable to any comments of the SEC or its staff with respect to the Schedule 14D-9, and the Company further agrees to use all reasonable efforts to cause the Schedule 14D-9 as so corrected to promptly be filed with the SEC and to promptly be disseminated to holders of Shares, in each case as and to the extent required by applicable Securities Laws. The Company shall give (x) Parent and its counsel reasonable opportunity to review and comment on the Schedule 14D-9 prior to the filing thereof with the SEC and (y) due consideration to the reasonable additions, deletions or changes suggested by Parent and its counsel thereto.

(b) The Company shall promptly furnish or cause to be furnished to Parent mailing labels containing the names and addresses of all of its stockholders of record as of a date no more than ten (10) days prior to the date on which Parent and Merger Sub file the Offer Documents with the SEC (such date, the “Stockholder List Date”), a non-objecting beneficial owners list and security position listings of Shares held in stock depositories, each as of a recent date, and shall promptly furnish Parent with such additional information, including updated lists of stockholders and beneficial owners, mailing labels, security position listings and computer files, and such other information and assistance as Parent or its agents may reasonably request for the purpose of communicating the Offer to the record holders and beneficial owners of Shares. In addition, in connection with the Offer, the Company shall, and shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause third parties to, cooperate with Parent and Merger Sub to disseminate the Offer Documents to the holders of Shares held in or subject to the Company Plans and to permit such holders of Shares to tender their Shares into the Offer. Parent and Merger Sub and their agents shall hold in confidence the information contained in any such labels, listings and files, shall use such information only in connection with the Offer and the Merger and, if this Agreement shall be terminated, shall, upon request, deliver, and shall use their reasonable efforts to cause their agents to deliver, to the Company (or destroy) all copies and any extracts or summaries from such information then in their possession or control.

Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, on the Closing Date, the Surviving Corporation hereto shall file with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware a certificate of merger, executed in accordance with, and in such form as is required by, the relevant provisions of the DGCL with respect to the Merger (the “Certificate of Merger”).

The Merger shall become effective upon the filing of the Certificate of Merger or at such later time as is agreed to by the parties herein and specified in the Certificate of Merger (the time the Merger becomes effective being hereinafter referred to as the “Effective Time”).

Section 2.4 Effects of the Merger. The Merger shall have the effects set forth in this Agreement and the applicable provisions of the DGCL.

Section 2.5 Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation. At the Effective Time, the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Company, in each case as amended to date and as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time (the “Company Charter Documents”), shall be amended as of the Effective Time to be in the form of (except with respect to the name of the Company (which shall be “Sagent Pharmaceuticals, Inc.”)) the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of Merger Sub as of the date hereof, which shall include provisions for limitations of liabilities of directors and officers, indemnification, advancement of expenses and exculpation no less favorable than as set forth in the Company Charter Documents in effect on the date of this Agreement, and as so amended shall be the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of Surviving Corporation until thereafter amended as provided therein or as provided by the DGCL.

Section 2.6 Directors and Officers of the Surviving Corporation.

(a) The directors of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the directors of the Surviving Corporation immediately following the Effective Time, to serve until their respective successors are duly elected or appointed and qualified or until their earlier death, resignation or removal in accordance with the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Surviving Corporation.

(b) The officers of the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the officers of the Surviving Corporation immediately following the Effective Time, to serve until their respective successors are duly appointed and qualified or until their earlier death, resignation or removal in accordance with the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Surviving Corporation.

Section 2.7 Effect on Capital Stock. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the Company, Parent or Merger Sub or any holder of any shares of common stock, $0.01 par value per share, of the Company (“Company Common Stock”) or any shares of capital stock of Parent or Merger Sub:

(a) Capital Stock of Merger Sub. Each issued and outstanding share of capital stock of Merger Sub shall be converted into and become one validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable share of common stock, $0.01 par value per share, of the Surviving Corporation.

(b) Cancellation of Company and Parent-Owned Stock. Any shares of Company Common Stock that are owned by the Company, Parent or Merger Sub or any of their respective Subsidiaries, in each case immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be automatically canceled and shall cease to exist and no consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor.

(c) Conversion of Company Common Stock. Each issued and outstanding share of Company Common Stock (other than Dissenting Stockholder Shares and shares to be canceled in accordance with Section 2.7(b)) shall thereupon be converted automatically into and shall thereafter represent solely the right to receive an amount in cash equal to the Offer Price without interest (the “Merger Consideration”), less any required withholding Taxes, if any, as described in Section 2.11. As of the Effective Time, all such shares of Company Common Stock shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and shall cease to exist, and the holders immediately prior to the Effective Time of shares of Company Common Stock not represented by certificates (“Book-Entry Shares”) and the holders of certificates that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented any such shares of Company Common Stock (each, a “Certificate”) shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the Merger Consideration to be paid in consideration therefor upon surrender of such Book-Entry Share or Certificate in accordance with Section 2.8(b) without interest (subject to any applicable withholding Tax, if any, as described in Section 2.11).

(d) Appraisal Rights. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, shares of Company Common Stock that are issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time which are held by a stockholder who did not vote in favor of the Merger (or consent thereto in writing) and who is entitled to demand and properly demands appraisal of such shares pursuant to, and complies in all respects with, the provisions of Section 262 of the DGCL (the “Dissenting Stockholder Shares”, and each stockholder holding Dissenting Stockholder Shares a “Dissenting Stockholder”) shall not be converted into or be exchangeable for the right to receive the Merger Consideration, but instead such Dissenting Stockholder shall be entitled to receive such consideration as may be determined to be due to such Dissenting Stockholder pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL (and at the Effective Time, such Dissenting Stockholder Shares shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and shall cease to exist, and such Dissenting Stockholder shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the rights set forth in Section 262 of the DGCL), unless and until such Dissenting Stockholder shall have failed to perfect or shall have effectively withdrawn or lost rights to appraisal under the DGCL. If any Dissenting Stockholder shall have failed to perfect or shall have effectively withdrawn or lost such right, such Dissenting Stockholder’s shares of Company Common Stock shall thereupon be treated as if they had been converted into and become exchangeable for the right to receive, as of the Effective Time, the Merger Consideration for each such share of Company Common Stock, in accordance with Section 2.7, without any interest thereon and less any applicable withholding Taxes, if any, as described in Section 2.11. The Company shall give Parent (i) prompt notice of any written demands for appraisal of any shares of Company Common Stock, attempted written 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 pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL, and (ii) the opportunity and right to participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to any such demand for appraisal under the DGCL. The Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of Parent, make any payment with respect to any demands for appraisals or compromise, offer to settle or settle, or otherwise make any binding agreement regarding, any such demands.

Section 2.8 Exchange of Certificates.

(a) Paying Agent; Investment by Paying Agent of Funds. Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall designate a bank or trust company reasonably acceptable to the Company (the “Paying Agent”) for the purpose of exchanging shares of Company Common Stock for the Merger Consideration and enter into an agreement reasonably acceptable to the Company with the Paying Agent relating to the services to be performed by the Paying Agent. Parent shall irrevocably deposit, or cause to be deposited, with the Paying Agent at or prior to the Closing, a cash amount in immediately available funds necessary for the Paying Agent to make all payments of the Merger Consideration as contemplated by Section 2.7(c). The aggregate Merger Consideration deposited with the Paying Agent shall, pending its disbursement to such holders, be invested by the Paying Agent in (i) short-term direct obligations of the United States of America or (ii) short-term obligations for which the full faith and credit of the United States of America is pledged to provide for the payment of principal and interest. Any interest and other income from such investments shall be payable by the Paying Agent to Parent as provided in Parent’s agreement with the Paying Agent. No investment or investment losses resulting from such investment by the Paying Agent of the aggregate Merger Consideration shall relieve Parent, the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent from making the payments required by this Article II and Parent shall promptly replace or cause to be replaced any funds deposited with the Paying Agent lost through any investment made pursuant to this Section 2.8(a). No investment by the Paying Agent of the aggregate Merger Consideration shall have maturities that could prevent or delay payments to be made pursuant to this Agreement. Following the Effective Time, Parent agrees to make available or cause to be made available to the Paying Agent, from time to time as needed, additional cash to pay the Merger Consideration as contemplated by this Article II without interest.

(b) Payment Procedures. As soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time (but in no event more than three (3) Business Days thereafter), the Surviving Corporation shall cause the Paying Agent to mail to each holder of record of Company Common Stock (other than the holders of Shares cancelled pursuant to Section 2.7(b)) (i) a letter of transmittal (which, in the case of shares of Company Common Stock represented by Certificates, shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of the Certificates to the Paying Agent) and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates or Book-Entry Shares in exchange for payment of the Merger Consideration, in each case, in a customary form to be reasonably agreed upon by Parent and the Company prior to Closing. Upon surrender of Certificates for cancellation to the Paying Agent or, in the case of Book-Entry Shares, receipt of an “agent’s message” by the Paying Agent (or such other evidence, if any, of transfer as the Paying Agent may reasonably request), together with such letter of transmittal, duly completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions (and such other customary documents as may reasonably be required by the Paying Agent), the holder of such Certificates or Book-Entry Shares shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor, subject to any required withholding Taxes, the Merger Consideration, without interest, for each share of Company Common Stock surrendered, and any Certificates surrendered shall forthwith be canceled. If payment of the Merger Consideration is to be made to a Person other than the Person in whose name the surrendered Certificate or Book-Entry Share in exchange therefor is registered, it shall be a condition of payment that (A) the Person requesting such exchange present proper evidence of transfer and (B) the Person requesting such

payment shall have paid any transfer and other Taxes required by reason of the payment of the Merger Consideration in the name of a Person other than the registered holder of such Certificate or Book-Entry Share surrendered or shall have established to the reasonable satisfaction of the Surviving Corporation that such Tax either has been paid or is not applicable.

At any time following the first (1st) anniversary of the Closing Date, the Surviving Corporation shall be entitled to require the Paying Agent to deliver to it any funds (including any interest received with respect thereto) that had been made available to the Paying Agent and which have not been disbursed in accordance with this Article II and thereafter Persons entitled to receive payment pursuant to this Article II shall be entitled to look only to the Surviving Corporation (subject to abandoned property, escheat or other similar Laws) as general creditors thereof with respect to the payment of any Merger Consideration that may be payable upon surrender of any Company Common Stock held by such holders, as determined pursuant to this Agreement, without any interest thereon and subject to any required withholding Taxes, if any, as described in Section 2.11. Any amounts remaining unclaimed by such holders at such time at which such amounts would otherwise escheat to or become property of any Governmental Authority shall become, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, the property of the Surviving Corporation, free and clear of all claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.

(f) No Liability. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, none of Parent, the Merger Sub, the Surviving Corporation, the Company or the Paying Agent shall be liable to any Person for Merger Consideration delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law.

Section 2.11 Withholding Rights. Parent, the Surviving Corporation, Merger Sub, and the Paying Agent, as the case may be, shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any amounts otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement, including in connection with both the Offer and the Merger, such amounts that Parent, the Surviving Corporation, Merger Sub or the Paying Agent is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”) or any other applicable state, local or foreign Tax Law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld and timely paid over to the appropriate Governmental Entity by Parent, the Surviving Corporation, Merger Sub, or the Paying Agent, such 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.

Such internal control over financial reporting is sufficient to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP.

Section 5.2 [Intentionally Deleted].

Section 5.3 No Solicitation; Change in Recommendation.

(a) The Company agrees that it shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries and its and its Subsidiaries’ respective directors and officers to, and shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause its other Representatives to, cease immediately all existing negotiations with any Person or its Representatives conducted heretofore with respect to any Takeover Proposal, immediately terminate access by any such Person or its Representative to any online data room maintained by or behalf of the Company, and promptly request that any such Person and its Representatives promptly return or destroy all confidential information concerning the Company and its Subsidiaries previously furnished to them. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement,

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 Section 7.1, the Company shall not, and shall cause its Subsidiaries and its and its Subsidiaries’ respective directors and officers not to, and shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause its other Representatives not to, directly or indirectly, (i) solicit, initiate, knowingly facilitate, or knowingly encourage any Takeover Proposal or the making or consummation thereof, (ii) enter into, continue or otherwise participate in any discussions (except to notify such Person of the existence of the provisions of this Section 5.3) or negotiations regarding, or furnish to any Person any non-public information in connection with or for the purpose of knowingly encouraging or facilitating, a Takeover Proposal or any proposal or offer that could reasonably be expected to lead to a Takeover Proposal, or (iii) enter into any letter of intent, acquisition agreement, agreement in principle or similar agreement with respect to a Takeover Proposal or with respect to any proposal or offer that could reasonably be expected to lead to a Takeover Proposal.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 5.3(a), but subject to the last sentence of this Section 5.3(b), if the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or any of its or their respective Representatives receives an unsolicited bona fide written Takeover Proposal made after the date of this Agreement, which did not result from any breach of this Section 5.3, the Company, the Company Board (or a duly authorized committee thereof) and the Company’s Representatives shall be permitted to (i) furnish, pursuant to (and only pursuant to) an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement, information with respect to the Company and each of its Subsidiaries to the Person who has made the Takeover Proposal; provided that the Company shall promptly (and in any event within 24 hours) provide to Parent any non-public information concerning the Company or its Subsidiaries that is provided to any Person given such access and that was not previously provided to Parent, and (ii) participate in discussions or negotiations regarding such Takeover Proposal, in each case only if the Company’s Board of Directors determines in good faith, after consultation with financial advisors and outside legal counsel, that such Takeover Proposal is or could reasonably be expected to lead to or constitute a Superior Proposal. The Company will promptly (and in any event within 24 hours) notify Parent in writing of the receipt of any inquiries, proposals, or offers with respect to a Takeover Proposal by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Representatives and provide Parent with a copy of any written Takeover Proposal received (including any written agreements, arrangements, understandings, forms of agreements supplied to third parties, and any other material documents with respect to the Takeover Proposal) and a written statement with respect to any non-written Takeover Proposal or inquiry received, which statement shall include the identity of the parties making the Takeover Proposal or inquiry and the material terms thereof. The Company will keep Parent reasonably apprised in all material respects on a reasonably current basis of the status and content of any discussions regarding any Takeover Proposal with a third party. The Company agrees that it and its Subsidiaries will not enter into any confidentiality agreement with any Person subsequent to the date hereof which prohibits the Company from providing any information to Parent in accordance with this Section 5.3 or otherwise prohibit the Company from complying with its obligations under this Section 5.3.

(c) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement (including Section 5.3(d) or Section 5.3(e)), neither the Company Board nor any committee thereof shall (i)(A) withdraw, change, qualify, withhold or modify, or publicly propose to withdraw, change, qualify, withhold or modify, in a manner adverse to Parent, the Company Board Recommendation, (B) adopt,

approve or recommend, or publicly propose to adopt, approve or recommend, any Takeover Proposal, (C) fail to include the Company Board Recommendation in the Schedule 14D-9 or (D) in the event a tender offer that constitutes a Takeover Proposal subject to Regulation 14D under the Exchange Act is commenced, fail to recommend against such Takeover Proposal in any solicitation or recommendation statement made on Schedule 14D-9 within ten (10) Business Days (any action described in this clause (i) being referred to herein as a “Company Adverse Recommendation Change”) or (ii) cause or permit the Company or any of its Affiliates to execute or enter into, any letter of intent, memorandum of understanding, agreement in principle, agreement or commitment (other than an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement) providing for any Takeover Proposal (a “Company Acquisition Agreement”).

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement:

(i) if the Company has received a bona fide written Takeover Proposal (which Takeover Proposal did not arise out of a breach of Section 5.3) that has not been withdrawn and the Company’s Board of Directors (or a duly authorized committee thereof) determines in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisors and outside legal counsel, that such Takeover Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal, the Company’s Board of Directors (or a duly authorized committee thereof) may make a Company Adverse Recommendation Change and/or terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1(d)(ii) to accept such Takeover Proposal, if and only if (i) the Company Board (or a duly authorized committee thereof) determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that the failure to make a Company Adverse Recommendation Change in response to the receipt of such Superior Proposal would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law and (ii) (A) the Company provides Parent prior written notice of its intent to take such action and terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1(d)(ii) at least five (5) Business Days prior to taking such action, which notice shall attach the most current draft of any Company Acquisition Agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal or, if no such draft exists, a summary of the material terms and conditions of such Superior Proposal (a “Notice of Intended Recommendation Change”) (it being understood that such Notice of Intended Recommendation Change shall not in itself be deemed a Company Adverse Recommendation Change and that any change in price or material revision or amendment to the terms of a Superior Proposal, if applicable, shall require a new notice to which the provisions of clauses (ii)(A), (B) and (C) of this Section 5.3(d)(i) shall apply mutatis mutandis except that, in the case of such a new notice, all references to five (5) Business Days in this Section 5.3(d)(i) shall be deemed to refer to be three (3) Business Days); (B) during such five (5) Business Day period following Parent’s receipt of the Notice of Intended Recommendation Change, the Company shall, and shall cause its financial and legal advisors and other Representatives to, negotiate in good faith with Parent (if Parent has requested that they negotiate) to make such adjustments in the terms and conditions of this Agreement that Parent proposes to make; and (C) at the end of such five (5) Business Day period and taking into account any modifications to the terms of this Agreement proposed by Parent to the Company in a written, binding and irrevocable offer, the Company Board determines in good faith (after consultation with outside legal counsel) that the failure to make such a Company Adverse Recommendation Change would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law, and that such Takeover Proposal still constitutes a Superior Proposal; or

(ii) other than in connection with a Takeover Proposal, the Company’s Board of Directors (or a duly authorized committee thereof) may make a Company Adverse Recommendation Change in response to a Company Intervening Event, if and only if: (A) the Company Board (or a duly authorized committee thereof) determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that the failure to take such action would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law; (B) the Company then provides written notice to Parent (a “Notice of Intended Intervening Event”) that the Company intends to take such action and describing the Company Intervening Event that is the basis for such action in reasonable detail (it being understood that such Notice of Intended Intervening Event shall not in itself be deemed a Company Adverse Recommendation Change); (C) during the five (5) Business Day period following Parent’s receipt of the Notice of Intended Intervening Event, the Company shall, and shall cause its financial and legal advisors and other Representatives to, negotiate with Parent (if Parent has requested that they negotiate) to make such adjustments in the terms and conditions of this Agreement so that such Company Intervening Event would no longer necessitate a Company Adverse Recommendation Change; and (D) following the end of such five (5) Business Day period, the Company’s Board of Directors shall then have determined in good faith, taking into account any changes to the terms of this Agreement proposed by Parent to the Company in a written, binding and irrevocable offer in response to the Notice of Intended Intervening Event, that the failure to effect a Company Adverse Recommendation Change in response to such Company Intervening Event would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law.

(e) Nothing contained in this Agreement shall prohibit the Company or the Company Board (or a duly authorized committee thereof) from (i) taking and disclosing to the stockholders of the Company a position contemplated by Rule 14e-2(a) under the Exchange Act or making a statement contemplated by Item 1012(a) of Regulation M-A or Rule 14d-9 under the Exchange Act, (ii) making any disclosure to the stockholders of the Company if the Company Board (or a duly authorized committee thereof) determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that the failure to make such disclosure would be reasonably likely to be inconsistent with applicable Law, (iii) informing any Person of the existence of the provisions contained in this Section 5.3 or (iv) making any “stop, look and listen” communication to the stockholders of the Company pursuant to Rule 14d-9(f) under the Exchange Act (or any similar communication to the stockholders of the Company). No disclosures under this Section 5.3(e) shall be, in themselves, a breach of Section 5.3 or a basis for Parent to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Article VII.

(f) As used in this Agreement, “Takeover Proposal” shall mean any proposal or offer from any Person (other than Parent, Merger Sub or any Affiliates thereof) to purchase or otherwise acquire, directly or indirectly, in a single transaction or series of related transactions, (i) assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries (including securities of Subsidiaries, but excluding sales of assets in the ordinary course of business) that account for 20% or more of the Company’s consolidated assets or from which 20% or more of the Company’s revenues or

earnings on a consolidated basis are derived or (ii) 20% or more of the outstanding Company Common Stock pursuant to a merger, consolidation or other business combination, sale or issuance of shares of capital stock, tender offer, share exchange, recapitalization or similar transaction involving the Company, in each case other than the Merger.

(g) As used in this Agreement, “Superior Proposal” shall mean any unsolicited written Takeover Proposal on terms which the Company Board (or a duly authorized committee thereof) determines in good faith, after consultation with the Company’s outside legal counsel and independent financial advisors, to be more favorable to the stockholders of the Company from a financial point of view than the Transaction (taking into account any modifications to the terms thereof as may be proposed by Parent pursuant to Section 5.3(d)(i)), taking into account, to the extent applicable, the identity of the Person making such proposal and the legal, financial, regulatory and other aspects of such Takeover Proposal and the Transaction that the Company Board determines to be relevant; provided that for purposes of the definition of Superior Proposal, the references to “20%” in the definition of Takeover Proposal shall be deemed to be references to “50%.”

(h) The Company agrees that in the event any Subsidiary, or any director or officer of the Company or any Subsidiary, takes any action which, if taken by the Company, would constitute a breach of this Section 5.3, the Company shall be deemed to be in breach of this Section 5.3.

Section 5.4 Reasonable Best Efforts.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each of the Company, Parent and Merger Sub shall use its respective reasonable best efforts to (i) cause the Transactions to be consummated as soon as practicable, (ii) make promptly any required submissions and filings under applicable Antitrust Laws or to Governmental Authorities with respect to the Transactions, (iii) promptly furnish information required in connection with such submissions and filing to such Governmental Authorities or under such Antitrust Laws, (iv) keep the other parties reasonably informed with respect to the status of any such submissions and filings to such Governmental Authorities or under Antitrust Laws, including with respect to (A) the receipt of any non-action, action, clearance, consent, approval or waiver, (B) the expiration of any waiting period, (C) the commencement or proposed or threatened commencement of any investigation, litigation or administrative or judicial action or proceeding under Antitrust Laws or other applicable Laws and (D) the nature and status of any objections raised or proposed or threatened to be raised under Antitrust Laws or other applicable Laws with respect to the Transactions and (v) obtain all actions or non-actions, approvals, consents, waivers, registrations, permits, authorizations and other confirmations from any Governmental Authority necessary to consummate the Transactions as soon as practicable. For purposes hereof, “Antitrust Laws” means the Xxxxxxx Act, the Xxxxxxx Act, the HSR Act, the Federal Trade Commission Act, all applicable foreign Antitrust Laws and all other applicable Laws issued by a Governmental Authority that are designed or intended to prohibit, restrict or regulate actions having the purpose or effect of monopolization or restraint of trade or lessening of competition through merger or acquisition.

(b) In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing: (i) each party hereto agrees to (A) make an appropriate filing of a Notification and Report Form pursuant to the HSR Act with respect to the Transactions as soon as practicable following the date of this Agreement and in any event within ten (10) Business Days after the date hereof (unless the parties otherwise agree to a different date), (B) supply as soon as practicable any additional information and documentary material that may be requested pursuant to the HSR Act and (C) use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all other actions consistent with this Section 5.4 necessary to cause the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting periods under the HSR Act (including any extensions thereof) as soon as practicable and (ii) each party agrees to (A) make or cause to be made the appropriate filings under any foreign Antitrust Laws as soon as practicable following the date of this Agreement, (B) supply as soon as practical any additional information and documentary material that may be required or requested by any Governmental Authority or in connection with any foreign Antitrust Laws and (C) use its reasonable best efforts to take or cause to be taken all other actions consistent with this Section 5.4 as necessary to obtain any necessary approvals, consents, waivers, permits, authorizations or other actions or non-actions from each Governmental Authority or in connection with any foreign Antitrust Laws as soon as practicable.

(c) The Company, Parent and Merger Sub shall, subject to applicable Law relating to the exchange of information: (i) promptly notify the other parties hereto of (and if in writing, furnish the other parties with copies of) any communication to such Person from a Governmental Authority regarding the filings and submissions described in Section 5.4(a) and permit the others to review and discuss in advance (and to consider in good faith any comments made by the others in relation to) any proposed written response to any communication from a Governmental Authority regarding the filings and submissions described in Section 5.4(a), (ii) keep the others reasonably informed of any developments, meetings or discussions with any Governmental Authority in respect of any filings, investigation, or inquiry concerning the Transactions and (iii) not independently participate in any meeting or discussions with a Governmental Authority in respect of any filings, investigation or inquiry concerning the Transactions without giving the other party prior notice of such meeting or discussions and, unless prohibited by such Governmental Authority, the opportunity to attend or participate; provided, however, that the parties may designate any competitively sensitive non-public information provided to any Governmental Authority as restricted to “Outside Antitrust Counsel” only and any such information shall not be shared with employees, officers or directors or their equivalents of the other party without approval of the party providing the non-public information. Notwithstanding the foregoing and anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Parent shall, on behalf of the parties, control and lead all communications and strategy relating to Antitrust Laws.

(d) In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, Parent and Merger Sub agree to take promptly any and all steps necessary to avoid, eliminate or resolve each and every impediment and obtain all clearances, consents, approvals and waivers under Antitrust Laws or other applicable Laws that may be required by any Governmental Authority, so as to enable the parties to close the Transactions as soon as practicable (and in any event no later than three (3) Business Days prior to the End Date), including committing to and effecting, by consent decree, hold separate orders, trust, or otherwise, (i) the sale, license, holding separate or other disposition of assets or businesses of Parent or Company or any of their respective

Subsidiaries, (ii) terminating, relinquishing, modifying, or waiving existing relationships, ventures, contractual rights, obligations or other arrangements of Parent or Company or their respective Subsidiaries and (iii) creating any relationships, ventures, contractual rights, obligations or other arrangements of Parent or Company or their respective Subsidiaries (each a “Remedial Action”); provided, however, that any Remedial Action may, unless otherwise mutually agreed to in writing by Company and Parent, be conditioned upon consummation of the Transactions.

(e) From the date hereof until the earlier of the Effective Time and the date this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Article VII, neither Parent nor Merger Sub shall, nor shall they permit their respective Affiliates to, acquire or agree to acquire any rights, assets, business, Person or division thereof (through acquisition, license, joint venture, collaboration or otherwise), if such acquisition, would reasonably be expected to materially increase the risk of not obtaining any applicable clearance, consent, approval or waiver under Antitrust Laws or other applicable Laws with respect to the Transactions, or would reasonably be expected to prevent or materially impede, interfere with or delay obtaining any applicable clearance, consent, approval or waiver under Antitrust Laws or other applicable laws with respect to the Transactions.

(f) In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, in the event that any litigation or other administrative or judicial action or proceeding is commenced or threatened by any Governmental Authority challenging any of the Transactions and such litigation, action or proceeding seeks, or would reasonably be expected to seek, to prevent, materially impede or materially delay the consummation of the Transactions, Parent shall use reasonable best efforts, including agreeing to or taking a Remedial Action (subject to the proviso set forth in Section 5.4(d)), to avoid or resolve any such litigation, action or proceeding and each of the Company, Parent and Merger Sub shall cooperate with each other and use its respective reasonable best efforts to contest, defend and resist any such litigation, action or proceeding and to have vacated, lifted, reversed or overturned any ruling, decree, judgment, injunction or other order, whether temporary, preliminary or permanent, that is in effect and that prohibits, prevents, delays, interferes with or restricts consummation of the Transactions as promptly as practicable and in any event no later than three (3) Business Days prior to the End Date.

(g) The Company shall notify Parent and Merger Sub, and Parent and Merger Sub shall notify the Company, promptly of (i) the receipt of any written notice or other communication from any Person alleging that the consent of such Person is or may be required in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (ii) the receipt of any written notice or other communication from any Governmental Authority in connection with the Transactions and (iii) any legal actions commenced, or to such party’s Knowledge, threatened, against the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or the JV or Parent or its Subsidiaries, as applicable, that are related to the Transactions. In no event shall (x) the delivery of any notice by a party pursuant to this Section 5.4 limit or otherwise affect the respective rights, obligations, representations, warranties, covenants or agreements of the parties or the conditions to the obligations of the parties under this Agreement, or (y) disclosure by the Company or Parent be deemed to amend or supplement the Company Disclosure Schedules or constitute an exception to any representation or warranty.

Section 5.5 Public Announcements. The initial press release regarding the Offer, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be a joint press release mutually agreed to by the parties and thereafter (unless and until a Company Adverse Recommendation Change has occurred pursuant to Section 5.3(d)) the Company and Parent shall not issue any press releases or otherwise make public announcements with respect to the Offer, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), except as such release or announcement is reasonably determined to be required by Law or by obligations pursuant to any listing agreement with or rules of any national securities exchange or interdealer quotation service or by the request of any Governmental Authority (and then only after as much advance notice and consultation as is feasible); provided, however, that the restrictions set forth in this Section 5.5 shall not apply to any release or public statement (a) made or proposed to be made by any party to this Agreement in connection with a Company Intervening Event, a Takeover Proposal, a Superior Proposal or a Company Adverse Recommendation Change or any action taken pursuant thereto, (b) in connection with any dispute between the parties regarding this Agreement or the Transaction or (c) that is not inconsistent in any material respects with and does not include material information not previously set forth in the prior public disclosures regarding the Transactions.

Section 5.6 Access to Information; Confidentiality. Subject to applicable Laws relating to the exchange of information, from the date hereof until the earlier of the Effective Time or the date on which this Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms, the Company shall and shall cause its Subsidiaries and the JV to, afford to Parent and its Representatives reasonable access during normal business hours upon reasonable advance notice to the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ respective Representatives, offices, plants, properties (but excluding for the conduct of Phase I or Phase II environmental assessments or sampling or testing), books, Contracts and records and the Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, furnish promptly to Parent such information concerning its business and properties as Parent may reasonably request; provided that Parent and its Representatives shall conduct any such activities in such a manner as not to interfere unreasonably with the business or operations of the other party; provided, further, (i) that the Company shall not be obligated to provide such access or information if the Company determines, in its reasonable judgment, that doing so would violate applicable Law or a Contract or obligation of confidentiality owing to a third party, jeopardize the protection of the attorney-client privilege, or expose such party to risk of liability for disclosure of sensitive or personal information and (ii) the conduct of such activities shall be subject to the rights and obligations of the Company referred to in the final proviso of the penultimate sentence of Section 5.4(c). Until the Effective Time, the information provided will be subject to the terms of the confidentiality letter agreement, dated as of April 30, 2016, between Parent and the Company (as it may be amended from time to time, the “Confidentiality Agreement”), and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Parent and the Company shall not, and Parent and the Company shall cause their respective Representatives not to, use such information for any purpose unrelated to the consummation of the Transactions.

Section 5.7 Takeover Laws. If any Takeover Statute is or is reasonably likely to become applicable to the Offer, the Merger or any of the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Company and the Company Board shall grant such approvals and take such actions as are necessary so that such transactions may be consummated as promptly as practicable on the terms contemplated by this Agreement and otherwise act to eliminate or minimize the effects of such statute or regulation on such transactions.

Section 5.8 Indemnification and Insurance.

(a) For a period of six (6) years following the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, (i) indemnify, defend and hold harmless each person who is now, or has at any time prior to the Effective Time been, a director or officer of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and each person who served as a director, officer, member, trustee or fiduciary of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, pension or other employee benefit plan or enterprise if such service was at the request or for the benefit of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (each, an “Indemnitee” and, collectively, the “Indemnitees”) against all claims, liabilities, losses, damages, judgments, fines, penalties, costs (including amounts paid in settlement or compromise) and expenses (including reasonable and documented fees and expenses of legal counsel) in connection with any actual or threatened claim, suit, action, audit, review, hearing, proceeding or investigation (whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative) (each, a “Claim”), whenever asserted, arising out of, relating to or in connection with any action or omission relating to their position with the Company or its Subsidiaries occurring or alleged to have occurred before or at the Effective Time (including any Claim relating in whole or in part to this Agreement or the Transactions), to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law, and (ii) honor all obligations of the Company and its Subsidiaries to the Indemnitees in respect of limitation of liability, exculpation, indemnification and advancement of expenses as provided in (A) the Company Charter Documents and the respective organizational documents of each of the Company’s Subsidiaries as currently in effect and (B) any indemnification agreements with an Indemnitee, which shall in each case survive the Transactions and continue in full force and effect to the extent permitted by applicable Law. Without limiting the foregoing, for a period of six (6) years from the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall, and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, cause the articles of incorporation and bylaws of the Surviving Corporation to include provisions for limitation of liabilities of directors and officers, indemnification, advancement of expenses and exculpation of the Indemnitees no less favorable to the Indemnitees than as set forth in the Company Charter Documents in effect on the date of this Agreement, which provisions shall not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified in a manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of the Indemnitees during such six (6) year period except as required by applicable Law.

(b) For a period of six (6) years following the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to pay and advance to an Indemnitee any expenses (including fees and expenses of legal counsel) in connection with any Claim relating to any acts or omissions covered under this Section 5.8 or the enforcement of an Indemnitee’s rights under this Section 5.8 as and when incurred to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law, provided that the person to whom expenses are advanced provides an undertaking to repay such expenses if it is ultimately determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that such Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification for such matter (but only to the extent such repayment is required by applicable Law, the Company Charter Documents, applicable organizational documents of Subsidiaries of the Company or applicable indemnification agreements). Any determination required to be made with respect to whether an Indemnitee’s conduct complies with an

applicable standard under applicable Law, the Company Charter Documents, applicable organizational documents of Subsidiaries of the Company, or applicable indemnification agreements, as the case may be, shall be made by independent legal counsel selected by the Indemnitee and reasonably acceptable to Parent. The provisions of Section 5.8(a) and Section 5.8(b) to the contrary notwithstanding, neither the Surviving Corporation, any of its Subsidiaries or Parent shall be liable for indemnification under this Section 5.8 for any settlement or consent decree effected without its prior written consent following the Effective Time, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. Any Indemnitee wishing to claim indemnification under this Section 5.8 shall promptly notify Parent and the Surviving Corporation upon learning of any such Claim (but the failure so to notify shall not relieve a party from any liability which it may have under this Section 5.8 except to the extent such failure materially prejudices Parent, the Surviving Corporation or its Subsidiaries), and shall keep the Surviving Corporation regularly informed over the status of such Claim.

(c) For a period of six (6) years from the Effective Time, Parent shall cause to be maintained in effect the coverage provided by the policies of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance and fiduciary liability insurance in effect as of the date hereof maintained by the Company and its Subsidiaries with respect to matters arising on or before the Effective Time either through the Company’s existing insurance provider or another provider reasonably selected by Parent; provided, however, that, after the Effective Time, Parent shall not be required to pay annual premiums in excess of 300% of the annual premium currently paid by the Company in respect of the coverages required to be obtained pursuant hereto, but in such case shall purchase as much coverage as reasonably practicable for such amount; provided, further, that in lieu of the foregoing insurance coverage, the Company may purchase “tail” insurance coverage, at a cost no greater than the aggregate amount which Parent would be required to spend during the six–year period provided for in this Section 5.8(c), that provides coverage not materially less favorable than the coverage described above to the insured persons than the directors’ and officers’ liability insurance and fiduciary liability insurance coverage currently maintained by the Company and its Subsidiaries as of the date hereof with respect to matters arising on or before the Effective Time.

(d) The provisions of this Section 5.8 are (i) intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each Indemnitee, his or her heirs and his or her representatives from and after the Effective Time and (ii) in addition to, and not in substitution for or limitation of, any other rights to indemnification or contribution that any such Person may have by contract or otherwise. The obligations of Parent and the Surviving Corporation under this Section 5.8 shall not be terminated or modified in such a manner as to adversely affect the rights of any Indemnitee to whom this Section 5.8 applies unless (A) such termination or modification is required by applicable Law or (B) the affected Indemnitee shall have consented in writing to such termination or modification (it being expressly agreed that the Indemnitees to whom this Section 5.8 applies shall be third party beneficiaries of this Section 5.8).

Section 5.9 Transaction Litigation. The Company shall promptly notify the other parties of the commencement of any stockholder litigation against the Company or any of its directors or officers relating to this Agreement or the Transactions of which it has received notice or which, to the Knowledge of the Company, is threatened (“Transaction Litigation”) and shall keep Parent reasonably and promptly informed with respect to the status thereof. The

Company shall give Parent the opportunity to participate in, but not control, the defense or settlement of any Transaction Litigation. Without limiting the preceding sentence, the Company shall give Parent the right to review and comment on all material filings or responses to be made by the Company in connection with any such Transaction Litigation, and the right to consult on the settlement with respect to such Transaction Litigation, and the Company will in good faith take such comments into account. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Company shall not settle or enter into any settlement of any such litigation without the prior written consent of Parent; provided that any request for such consent shall be considered by Parent reasonably and in good faith.

Section 5.10 Section 16. Promptly after the date hereof and prior to the Expiration Date, the Company shall take all such steps as may be required to cause any dispositions of Shares resulting from the transactions contemplated by this Agreement by each individual who is 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, to the extent permitted by applicable Law

Section 5.11 Employee Matters.

(a) For the period lasting until December 31, 2017 (the “Continuation Period”), Parent shall provide, or shall cause to be provided, to each individual who is employed by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (including the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries) immediately prior to the Effective Time (each, a “Company Employee”), (i) annual base salary or base wage and target annual cash bonus opportunity that, in each case, is no less favorable in the aggregate than the annual base salary or base wage and target annual cash bonus opportunity provided to such Company Employee immediately prior to the Effective Time and (ii) employee benefits (other than under equity plans and arrangements) that are no less favorable in the aggregate to the level of employee benefits (other than under equity plans and arrangements) provided to such Company Employee immediately prior to the Effective Time. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Parent shall or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to provide any Company Employee whose employment terminates following the Effective Time and during the Continuation Period with, if applicable, notice, termination or severance compensation and benefits no less favorable than those that would have been provided to such employee immediately prior to the Effective Time, including pursuant to the existing terms of the applicable Company Plan in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time or as is required pursuant to any employment agreement or other agreement in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time.

(b) For all purposes (including purposes of vesting, eligibility to participate and level of benefits but not for purposes of defined benefit pension accrual) under the employee benefit plans of Parent and its Subsidiaries providing benefits to any Company Employee after the Effective Time (including the Company Plans) (the “New Plans”), each Company Employee shall be credited with his or her years of service with the Company and its Subsidiaries and their respective predecessors before the Effective Time, to the same extent as such Company Employee was entitled, before the Effective Time, to credit for such service under any Company Plan in which such Company Employee participated or was eligible to participate immediately

prior to the Effective Time, provided that the foregoing shall not apply to the extent that its application would result in a duplication of benefits with respect to the same period of service. In addition, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (i) Parent shall ensure that each Company Employee shall be immediately eligible to participate, without any waiting time, in any and all New Plans to the extent coverage under such New Plan is replacing comparable coverage under a Company Plan in which such Company Employee participated immediately before the Effective Time (such plans, collectively, the “Old Plans”), and (ii) for purposes of each New Plan providing medical, dental, pharmaceutical and/or vision benefits to any Company Employee, Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause all pre-existing condition exclusions and actively-at-work requirements of such New Plan to be waived for such Company Employee and his or her covered dependents, to the extent such conditions were inapplicable or waived under the comparable Old Plans of the Company or its Subsidiaries in which such Company Employee participated immediately prior to the Effective Time. Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause any eligible expenses incurred by any Company Employee and his or her covered dependents during the portion of the plan year of the Old Plan ending on the date such Company Employee’s participation in the corresponding New Plan begins to be taken into account under such New Plan for purposes of satisfying all deductible, coinsurance and maximum out-of-pocket requirements applicable to such Company Employee and his or her covered dependents for the applicable plan year as if such amounts had been paid in accordance with such New Plan.

(c) As of the Effective Time, the Company shall take all necessary actions to provide for full vesting of all amounts credited to the account of each Company Employee under the Company’s 401(k) plan.

(d) Without limiting the generality of Section 5.11(a), from and after the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries to honor all obligations under the Company Plans existing and applicable to such entity as of immediately before the Effective Time in accordance with their terms as in effect immediately before the Effective Time and the Transactions shall be deemed to constitute a “change in control”, “change of control”, “corporate transaction” or other similar words to such effect under such Company Plans.

(e) To the extent that the Effective Time occurs (i) in 2016 or (ii) following the end of the 2016 performance period with respect to the Annual Incentive Plan or any other applicable annual bonus plan, but, in each case, prior to payment of the bonuses for such 2016 performance period, Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to pay to each Company Employee the greater of (x) the Company Employee’s target bonus for such 2016 performance period and (y) the bonus to which the Company Employee would be entitled for such 2016 performance period based on actual performance (each, a “2016 Bonus”). Payment of any such 2016 Bonus will be contingent on the applicable Company Employee’s continued employment through the end of the performance period; provided, that in the event that a Company Employee’s employment is terminated without Cause or if such Company Employee resigns with Good Reason prior to the end of such performance period, such Company Employee will be entitled to a pro rata 2016 Bonus, calculated on the basis of the number of days such Company Employee was employed during 2016, divided by 365. For purposes herein, “Cause” and “Good Reason” shall have the meanings set forth in any employment agreement or other agreement

providing the relevant Company Employee with termination entitlements or severance, and, if no such agreement exists, “Cause” shall be defined as (i) the willful and continued failure by a Company Employee to substantially perform his or her duties with the Company that has not been cured within thirty (30) days after written demand for substantial performance is delivered by the Company, which demand specifically identifies the manner in which the Company Employee has not substantially performed (other than any such failure resulting from the Company Employee’s incapacity due to physical or mental illness); (ii) the willful engaging by a Company Employee in conduct which is demonstrably and materially injurious to the Company, monetarily or otherwise; or (iii) the engaging by a Company Employee in egregious misconduct involving serious moral turpitude, and “Good Reason” shall be defined as the occurrence of any of the following without the affected Company Employee’s written consent: (i) a reduction by the Company in the Company Employee’s annual salary or, if applicable, bonus opportunity; or (ii) the relocation of the Company Employee’s principal place of employment to a location more than fifty (50) miles from the Company Employee’s principal place of employment or the Company’s requiring the Company Employee to be based anywhere other than such principal place of employment (or permitted relocation thereof) except for required travel on the Company’s business to an extent substantially consistent with the Company Employee’s business travel obligations. In addition, in the event that the Effective Time occurs in 2017, at the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to pay to each Company Employee a pro-rata portion of any bonus that such Company Employee would have been entitled to receive under the Annual Incentive Plan and any other applicable annual bonus plan for the 2017 performance period based on the Company Employee’s target bonus for such 2017 performance period.

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the provisions of this Section 5.11 are solely for the benefit of the parties to this Agreement, and no provision of this Section 5.11, express or implied, shall confer upon any other Person any rights or remedies of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Section 5.11 and no Company Employee or other individual associated therewith shall be regarded for any purpose as a third-party beneficiary of this Section 5.11, including with respect to (i) obligating Parent or the Surviving Corporation to (A) maintain any particular benefit plan or arrangement or (B) retain the employment of any particular employee, (ii) preventing Parent or the Surviving Corporation from amending or terminating any benefit plan or arrangement or (iii) altering any at-will employment relationship of any Company Employee or constituting a guarantee of continued employment with Parent or the Surviving Corporation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, nothing contained in this Agreement express or implied, shall be construed to constitute the establishment or adoption of or an amendment to any Company Plans.

Section 5.12 Merger Sub and Surviving Corporation. Parent shall take all actions necessary to cause Merger Sub to perform promptly their respective obligations under this Agreement and, without limitation, to consummate the Merger on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. Prior to the Effective Time, Merger Sub shall not engage in any activity of any nature except for activities related to or in furtherance of the Transactions.

Section 5.13 No Control of Other Party’s Business. Nothing contained in this Agreement is intended to give Parent or Merger Sub, directly or indirectly, the right to control or direct the Company’s or its Subsidiaries’ operations prior to the Effective Time. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall exercise, consistent with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, complete control and supervision over its and its Subsidiaries’ respective operations.

Section 5.14 NASDAQ Delisting; Exchange Act Deregistration. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall reasonably cooperate with Parent and use its commercially reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions reasonably necessary, proper or advisable on its part under applicable Laws and the rules and policies of the NASDAQ to enable the delisting by the Surviving Corporation of the Company Common Stock from the NASDAQ and the deregistration of the Company Common Stock under the Exchange Act as promptly as practicable following the Effective Time.

ARTICLE VII

TERMINATION

Section 7.1 Termination. This Agreement may be terminated and the Transactions abandoned at any time prior to the Acceptance Time:

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

(b) by either of the Company or Parent:

(i) if the Acceptance Time shall not have been consummated on or before January 31, 2017 (the “End Date”); provided that the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 7.1(b)(i) shall not be available to any party whose breach of any covenant or agreement set forth in this Agreement has been the principal cause of the failure of the Acceptance Time to have occurred on or before the End Date; or

(ii) if any Law having the effect set forth in Section 6.1(a) or clause 2(e) of Annex I shall not have been reversed, stayed, enjoined, set aside, annulled or

suspended and shall be in full force and effect and, in the case of any ruling, decree, judgment, injunction or order of any Governmental Authority (each, a “Restraint”), shall have become final and non-appealable; provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 7.1(b)(ii) shall not be available to a party if the issuance of such final, non-appealable Restraint was primarily due to a breach by such party of any of its covenants or agreements under this Agreement, including pursuant to Section 5.4; or

(i) if the Company shall have breached any of its representations or warranties or failed to perform any of its covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement, which breach would give rise to a failure of any of the conditions set forth in clauses 2(a) or (b) of Annex I to be satisfied; provided, however, that, for purposes of this Section 7.1(c)(i), if such a breach is curable by the Company within the earlier of the End Date and thirty (30) days of the date Parent gives the Company notice of such breach and the Company is continuing to use its reasonable best efforts to cure such breach, then Parent may not terminate this Agreement under this Section 7.1(c)(i) on account of such breach unless such breach shall remain uncured upon the earlier of the End Date and the expiration of such thirty (30) day period; provided further, however, that Parent shall not be entitled to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 7.1(c)(i) if either Parent or Merger Sub is in breach of its obligations under this Agreement such that the Company would be entitled to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1(d)(i); or

(ii) if the Company Board (or a duly authorized committee thereof) shall have effected a Company Adverse Recommendation Change; or

(d) by the Company:

(i) if Parent or Merger Sub shall have breached any of its representations or warranties or failed to perform any of its covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement, which breach or failure to perform has had, or would reasonably be expected to have, a Parent Material Adverse Effect; provided, however, that, for purposes of this Section 7.1(d)(i), if such a breach is curable by Parent or Merger Sub within the earlier of the End Date and thirty (30) days of the date the Company gives Parent notice of such breach and Parent or Merger Sub, as the case may be, is continuing to use its reasonable best efforts to cure such breach, then the Company may not terminate this Agreement under this Section 7.1(d)(i) on account of such breach unless such breach shall remain uncured upon the earlier of the End Date and the expiration of such thirty (30) day period; provided further, however, that the Company shall not be entitled to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 7.1(d)(i) if the Company is in breach of its obligations under this Agreement such that Parent would be entitled to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1(c)(i); or

(ii) if the Company Board shall have effected a Company Adverse Recommendation Change with respect to a Superior Proposal in accordance with, and in compliance with the applicable requirements of, Section 5.3 and shall have approved, and substantially concurrently with the termination hereunder, the Company shall have entered into, a Company Acquisition Agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal and paid (or caused to be paid) the Company Termination Fee in accordance with Section 7.3(a);.

Section 7.2 Effect of Termination. In the event of the termination of this Agreement as provided in Section 7.1, written notice thereof shall be given to the other party or parties, specifying the provision hereof pursuant to which such termination is made, and this Agreement shall forthwith become null and void and have no further force or effect (other than Section 1.1(g), Section 3.24, Section 4.9, Section 7.2 and Section 7.3, and Article VIII, all of which shall survive termination of this Agreement), and there shall be no liability on the part of Parent, Merger Sub or the Company or their respective directors, officers, other Representatives or Affiliates, whether arising before or after such termination, based on, arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the negotiation, execution, performance or subject matter hereof (whether in contract or in tort or otherwise, or whether at law (including at common law or by statute) or in equity); provided, however, that, subject to Section 7.3 (including the limitations on liability contained therein), no party shall be relieved or released from any liabilities or damages arising out of any willful and material breach of any representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement or any material breach of any covenant set forth in this Agreement, in each case, that occurred prior to such termination and that gave rise to the failure of a condition set forth in Article VI. The Confidentiality Agreement shall survive in accordance with its terms following termination of this Agreement. Without limiting the meaning of a material breach, the parties acknowledge and agree that any failure by a party hereto to accept shares in the Offer or consummate the Merger and other transactions contemplated hereby after the applicable conditions to the Closing set forth in Article VI have been satisfied or waived (except for those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, which conditions would be capable of being satisfied at the time of such failure to consummate the Merger) shall constitute a material breach of a covenant set forth in this Agreement.

Section 7.3 Company Termination Fee.

(a) In the event that this Agreement is terminated by the Company pursuant to Section 7.1(d)(ii), the Company shall pay or cause to be paid as directed by Parent the Company Termination Fee substantially concurrently with the termination of this Agreement if Parent shall have provided wiring instructions for payment of the Company Termination Fee as of such termination or, if Parent has not then provided such wiring instructions, then such payment of the Company Termination Fee shall be made promptly following delivery of such wiring instructions by Parent (even if after such termination).

(b) In the event that this Agreement is terminated by Parent pursuant to Section 7.1(c)(ii), the Company shall pay or cause to be paid as directed by Parent the Company Termination Fee within two (2) Business Days of such termination.

(c) If (i) this Agreement is terminated (A) by Parent or the Company pursuant to Section 7.1(b)(i) or (B) by Parent pursuant to Section 7.1(c)(i) (solely with respect to a breach or failure to perform a covenant), (ii) (A) in the case of termination pursuant to Section 7.1(c)(i), a Takeover Proposal shall have been publicly disclosed or made to the Company after the date hereof and not publicly withdrawn prior to the date of the Company’s covenant breach that forms

the basis of Parent’s termination (as specified in the written notice delivered by Parent to the Company pursuant to Section 7.1(c)(i)) or (B) in the case of termination pursuant to Section 7.1(b)(i), a Takeover Proposal shall have been publicly disclosed after the date hereof and not publicly withdrawn prior to the date of termination, and (iii) within twelve (12) months of the date this Agreement is terminated, the Company enters into a Company Acquisition Agreement which is subsequently consummated or consummates a Takeover Proposal (provided that for purposes of clause (iii) of this Section 7.3(c), the references to “20%” in the definition of Takeover Proposal shall be deemed to be references to “50%”), then the Company shall pay or cause to be paid as directed by Parent the Company Termination Fee on the date of consummation of such transaction.

(d) For purposes of this Agreement, “Company Termination Fee” shall mean an amount equal to $24,300,000.

(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Company be required to pay the Company Termination Fee on more than one occasion. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, except in the case of fraud or willful and material breach of Section 5.3, the parties agree that if this Agreement is terminated under circumstances in which the Company is obligated to pay the Company Termination Fee under this Section 7.3 and the Company Termination Fee is paid, the payment of the Company Termination Fee shall be the sole and exclusive remedy available to Parent and Merger Sub with respect to this Agreement and the Transactions, and, upon payment of the Company Termination Fee pursuant to this Section 7.3, the Company (and the Company’s Affiliates and its and their respective directors, officers, employees, stockholders and other Representatives) shall have no further liability with respect to this Agreement or the Transactions to Parent, Merger Sub or any of their respective Affiliates or Representatives.

(f) Any amount that becomes payable pursuant to Section 7.3 shall be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by Parent, less any required withholding Taxes.

(g) The Company and Parent acknowledge and agree that the agreements contained in Section 7.3 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and that, without these agreements, the Company and Parent would not enter into this Agreement.
