AGREEMENT

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

ARTICLE I
THE OFFER AND THE MERGER

1.1 The Offer.

(a) As promptly as reasonably practicable (and in any event within ten Business Days after the date of this Agreement, as such period may be extended if and to the extent the Company fails to satisfy its obligations pursuant to Section 1.1(g) or other information required from Representatives of the Company or Parent is delayed), the Purchaser shall commence, within the meaning of Rule 14d-2 under the Exchange Act, the Offer to purchase all of the outstanding Shares for cash at the Offer Price. The consummation of the Offer, and the obligation of the Purchaser to accept for payment and pay for Shares tendered pursuant to the Offer, shall be subject to: (i) there being validly tendered in the Offer and not properly withdrawn prior to the Expiration Date that number of Shares which, together with the number of Shares (if any) then owned by Parent or any of its wholly-owned direct or indirect Subsidiaries, including the Purchaser, or with respect to which Parent or any of its wholly-owned direct or indirect Subsidiaries, including the Purchaser, otherwise has, directly or indirectly, sole voting power, represents at least a majority of the Shares then outstanding (determined on a fully diluted basis) and no less than a majority of the voting power of the shares of capital stock of the Company then outstanding (determined on a fully diluted basis) and entitled to vote upon the adoption of this Agreement and approval of the Merger (excluding from the number of tendered Shares, but not from the number of outstanding Shares, Shares tendered pursuant to guaranteed delivery procedures (to the extent such procedures are permitted by the Purchaser) that have not yet been delivered in settlement or satisfaction of such guarantee) (collectively, the “Minimum Condition”) and (ii) the satisfaction, or waiver by the Purchaser (to the extent permitted in Annex I), of the other conditions and requirements set forth in Annex I. Subject to this Section 1.1 and Annex I, the conditions and requirements to the Offer set forth in Annex I are for the sole

benefit of the Purchaser and may be asserted by the Purchaser regardless of the circumstances giving rise to such condition or may be waived by the Purchaser, in its sole discretion, in whole or in part at any time and from time to time.

(b) Subject to the satisfaction of the Minimum Condition and the satisfaction, or waiver by the Purchaser (to the extent permitted by Annex I), of the other conditions and requirements set forth in Annex I, the Purchaser shall, and Parent shall cause the Purchaser to, accept for payment and pay all Shares validly tendered and not properly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer as promptly as practicable and in any event not more than two Business Days after the first Expiration Date upon which such conditions are satisfied or waived. The Offer Price payable in respect of each Share validly tendered and not properly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer shall be paid, without interest, subject to any withholding of Taxes required by applicable Law. To the extent any such amounts are so withheld, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes under this Agreement as having been paid to the Person to whom such amounts would otherwise have been paid.

(c) The Offer shall be made by means of an offer to purchase (the “Offer to Purchase”) that describes the terms and conditions of the Offer in accordance with this Agreement, including the Minimum Condition and the other conditions and requirements set forth in Annex I. The Purchaser expressly reserves the right to increase the Offer Price or to make any other changes in the terms and conditions of the Offer; provided, however, that unless otherwise contemplated by this Agreement or as previously approved by the Company in writing, the Purchaser shall not (i) decrease the Offer Price, (ii) change the form of consideration payable in the Offer (other than adding consideration), (iii) reduce the maximum number of Shares to be purchased in the Offer, (iv) amend or waive the Minimum Condition or the conditions set forth in clause (b) of Annex I, (v) add to or amend any of the other conditions and requirements to the Offer set forth in Annex I in a manner that is material and adverse to the holders of Shares, (vi) except as provided in Section 1.1(e), extend the Offer or (vii) otherwise amend the Offer in any manner that is material and adverse to the holder of Shares. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Offer Price shall be adjusted appropriately to reflect the effect of any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend (including any dividend or distribution of securities convertible into Shares), cash dividend, reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, combination, exchange of shares or other like change with respect to the Shares, occurring on or after the date of this Agreement and prior to the Acceptance Time, and such adjustment to the Offer Price shall provide to the holders of Shares the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such action; provided, that nothing in this sentence shall be construed to permit the Company to take any action with respect to its securities that is prohibited by the terms of this Agreement.

(d) Unless extended in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Offer shall initially expire at midnight (New York City time) on the date that is 25 Business Days (calculated in accordance with Rule 14d-1(g)(3) under the Exchange Act) following the commencement of the Offer (within the meaning of Rule 14d-2 under the Exchange Act) (such date and time, the “Initial Expiration Date”) or, if the Initial Expiration Date has been extended as required by or otherwise 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 in accordance with this Agreement, the “Expiration Date”).

(e) If on or prior to any then scheduled Expiration Date, any condition to the Offer (including the Minimum Condition and the other conditions and requirements set forth in Annex I) has not been satisfied, or, where permitted by applicable Law and this Agreement, waived by the Purchaser, the Purchaser shall (and Parent shall cause the Purchaser to), extend the Offer on one or more occasions, for successive periods of up to 20 Business Days each, the length of each such period (subject to such 20 Business Day maximum) to be determined by Parent in its sole discretion, in order to permit the satisfaction of such conditions. In addition, the Purchaser shall (and Parent shall cause the Purchaser to) extend the Offer for any period or periods required by applicable Law or applicable rules, regulations, interpretations or positions of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) or its staff. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Purchaser shall not be required to extend the Offer for any reason beyond November 23, 2014 (the “Outside Date”). Nothing in this Section 1.1(e) shall be deemed to impair, limit or otherwise restrict in any manner the right of Parent or the Company to terminate this Agreement pursuant to ARTICLE 7 hereof.

(f) The Purchaser shall not terminate the Offer prior to any scheduled Expiration Date without the prior written consent of the Company, except if this Agreement is terminated pursuant to ARTICLE 7. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to ARTICLE 7, the Purchaser shall promptly (and in any event within 48 hours of such termination), irrevocably and unconditionally terminate the Offer. If the Offer is terminated or withdrawn by the Purchaser, or this Agreement is terminated prior to the purchase of Shares in the Offer, the Purchaser shall promptly return, and shall cause any depositary acting on behalf of the Purchaser to return, in accordance with applicable Law, all tendered Shares to the registered holders thereof.

(g) As soon as practicable on the date of the commencement of the Offer, the Purchaser shall file with the SEC, in accordance with Rule 14d-3 under the Exchange Act, a Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO with respect to the Offer (together with all amendments, supplements and exhibits thereto, the “Schedule TO”), which shall include, as exhibits, the Offer to Purchase, a form of letter of transmittal and a form of summary advertisement (collectively, together with any amendments, supplements and exhibits thereto, the “Offer Documents”). The Purchaser may, in its sole discretion, provide guaranteed delivery procedures for the tender of Shares in the Offer. The Purchaser agrees to cause the Offer Documents to be disseminated to holders of Shares, as and to the extent required by the Securities Act and the Exchange Act. The Company shall promptly furnish to Parent and the Purchaser in writing all information concerning the Company that may be required by applicable securities Laws or reasonably requested by Parent or the Purchaser for inclusion in the Offer Documents. The Purchaser, on the one hand, and the Company, on the other hand, agree to promptly correct any information provided by it for use in the Offer Documents, if and to the extent that it shall have become false or misleading in any material respect or as otherwise required by applicable Law, and the Purchaser agrees to cause the Offer Documents, as so corrected, to be filed with the SEC and disseminated to holders of Shares, in each case as and to the extent required by the Securities Act or the Exchange Act. The Company and its counsel shall be given a reasonable opportunity to review the Offer Documents before they are filed with the SEC, and the Purchaser shall give due

consideration to the reasonable additions, deletions or changes suggested thereto by the Company and its counsel. In addition, the Purchaser shall provide the Company and its counsel with copies of any written comments, and shall inform them of any oral comments, that the Purchaser or its counsel may receive from time to time from the SEC or its staff with respect to the Offer Documents promptly after receipt of such comments, and any written or oral responses thereto. The Company and its counsel shall be given a reasonable opportunity to review any such written responses and the Purchaser shall give due consideration to the reasonable additions, deletions or changes suggested thereto by the Company and its counsel.

1.2 Company Actions.

(a) On the date of the filing of the Schedule TO with the SEC, the Company shall, in a manner that complies with Rule 14d-9 under the Exchange Act, file with the SEC a Tender Offer Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9 with respect to the Offer (together with all amendments, supplements and exhibits thereto, the “Schedule 14D-9”) that shall, subject to the provisions of Section 5.3(c), contain the Company Board Recommendation. The Company shall include in the Schedule 14D-9 a notice of appraisal rights in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL. The Company shall also include in the Schedule 14D-9, and represents that it has obtained all necessary consents of the Company Financial Advisor to permit the Company to include in the Schedule 14D-9, in its entirety, the Fairness Opinion, together with a summary thereof in accordance with Item 1015(b) of Regulation M-A under the Exchange Act (regardless of whether such item is applicable). The Company hereby approves and consents to the Offer and hereby approves and consents to the inclusion in the Offer Documents of a description of the Company Board Recommendation. The Company further agrees to cause the Schedule 14D-9 to be disseminated to holders of Shares, as and to the extent required by the Exchange Act. To the extent requested by the Purchaser, the Company shall cause the Schedule 14D-9 to be mailed or otherwise disseminated to the holders of Shares together with the Offer Documents disseminated to the holders of Shares. The Company, on the one hand, and the Purchaser, on the other hand, agree to promptly correct any information provided by it for use in the Schedule 14D-9, if and to the extent that it shall have become false or misleading in any material respect or as otherwise required by applicable Law, and the Company agrees to cause the Schedule 14D-9, as so corrected, to be filed with the SEC and disseminated to holders of Shares, in each case as and to the extent required by the Exchange Act. The Purchaser and its counsel shall be given a reasonable opportunity to review the Schedule 14D-9 before it is filed with the SEC, and the Company shall give due consideration to the reasonable additions, deletions or changes suggested thereto by the Purchaser and its counsel. In addition, the Company shall provide the Purchaser and its counsel with copies of any written comments, and shall inform them of any oral comments, that the Company or its counsel may receive from time to time from the SEC or its staff with respect to the Schedule 14D-9 promptly after receipt of such comments, and any written or oral responses thereto. The Purchaser and its counsel shall be given a reasonable opportunity to review any such written responses and the Company shall give due consideration to the reasonable additions, deletions or changes suggested thereto by the Purchaser and its counsel.

any other listings or computer files containing the names and addresses of the record or beneficial holders of the Shares as of the most recent practicable date, and shall promptly furnish the Purchaser with such information (including updated lists of holders of the Shares and their addresses, mailing labels, security position listings and non-objecting beneficial owner lists) and such other assistance as the Purchaser or its agents may reasonably request in communicating with the record and beneficial holders of Shares. In addition, in connection with the Offer, the Company shall, and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause any Third Parties to, cooperate with the Purchaser to disseminate the Offer Documents to holders of Shares held in or subject to any Company Employee Plan, and to permit such holders of Shares to tender Shares in the Offer.

1.3 The Merger.

(a) Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, and in accordance with the applicable provisions of the DGCL, at the Effective Time, the Purchaser shall be merged with and into the Company.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, at the Effective Time, all of the property, rights, privileges, immunities, powers and franchises of the Company and the Purchaser shall vest in the Surviving Corporation, and all of the debts, liabilities and duties of the Company and the Purchaser shall become the debts, liabilities and duties of the Surviving Corporation.

1.6 Necessary Further Action. If at any time after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall determine, in its sole discretion, or shall be advised, that any deeds, bills of sale, instruments of conveyance, assignments, assurances or any other actions or things are necessary or desirable to vest, perfect or confirm of record or otherwise in the Surviving Corporation its right, title or interest in, to or under any of the rights, properties or assets of either of the Company or the Purchaser acquired or to be acquired by the Surviving Corporation as a result of, or in connection with, the Merger or otherwise to carry out this Agreement, then the officers and directors of the Surviving Corporation shall be authorized to execute and deliver, in the name and on behalf of either the Company or the Purchaser, all such deeds, bills of sale, instruments of conveyance, assignments and assurances and to take and do, in the name and on behalf of each of such corporations or otherwise, all such other actions and things as may be necessary or desirable to vest, perfect or confirm any and all right, title or interest in, to and under such rights, properties or assets in the Surviving Corporation or otherwise to carry out this Agreement.

1.7 Closing and Effective Time of the Merger. The closing of the Merger (the “Closing”) will take place at 9:00 a.m. Pacific time, on a date to be specified by the parties (the “Closing Date”), such date to be no later than the second Business Day after satisfaction or waiver of all of the conditions set forth in ARTICLE 6, at the offices of Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxx & Xxxxxxxx LLP, 2475 Hanover St., Palo Alto, 94034, unless another time, date or place is agreed to in writing by the parties hereto.

The Merger shall become effective at the date and time

the Certificate of Merger shall have been duly filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware or such other date and time as is agreed upon by the parties and specified in the Certificate of Merger (such date and time, the “Effective Time”).

ARTICLE II
CONVERSION OF SECURITIES IN THE MERGER

2.1 Conversion of Securities. Subject to the terms hereof, at the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the Purchaser, the Company or the holders of any of the following securities:

(a) Conversion of Company Common Stock. Each Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, other than Shares to be cancelled in accordance with Section 2.1(b) and any Dissenting Shares, shall be converted into the right to receive cash in an amount equal to the Offer Price (the “Merger Consideration”), without interest, subject to any withholding of Taxes required by applicable Law, upon surrender of the certificate formerly representing such Shares in accordance with Section 2.2.

(b) Cancellation of Treasury Stock and Parent-Owned Stock. All Shares that are held in the treasury of the Company, and all Shares owned of record by Parent or any of its direct or indirect wholly-owned Subsidiaries, including the Purchaser, shall be automatically cancelled and shall cease to exist, with no payment being made in exchange therefor (other than Shares owned by wholly-owned Subsidiaries of the Company, each of which shall remain outstanding and be converted into one newly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock of the Surviving Corporation).

(c) Purchaser Common Stock. Each share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Purchaser (the “Purchaser Common Stock”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and become one newly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock of the Surviving Corporation.

2.2 Payment for Securities; Surrender of Certificates

(a) Paying Agent. At or prior to the Effective Time, the Purchaser shall designate a reputable bank or trust company to act as the paying agent for purposes of effecting the payment and distribution of the Merger Consideration in connection with the Merger (the “Paying Agent”). At or promptly after the Effective Time (and, in any event, on the Closing Date), the Purchaser shall deposit, or cause to be deposited, with the Paying Agent, cash in an amount sufficient to make all payments pursuant to this ARTICLE 2 to which holders of Shares shall be entitled at the Effective Time pursuant to this Agreement. Such funds shall be invested by the Paying Agent as directed by the Purchaser, in its sole discretion, pending payment thereof by the Paying Agent to the holders of the Shares. Earnings from such investments shall be the sole and exclusive property of the Purchaser, and no part of such earnings shall accrue to the benefit of holders of Shares.

(b) Procedures for Surrender. As promptly as practicable after the Effective Time, but in no event later than 5 Business Days thereafter, the Surviving Corporation shall

cause the Paying Agent to mail to each holder of record of a certificate or certificates that represented Shares (the “Certificates”) or non-certificated Shares represented by book-entry (“Book-Entry Shares”), in each case, which Shares were converted into the right to receive the 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 Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of the Certificates to the Paying Agent, and shall otherwise be in such form and have such other provisions as the Purchaser or the Paying Agent may reasonably specify and (ii) instructions for effecting the surrender of the Certificates or Book-Entry Shares in exchange for payment of the Merger Consideration. Upon surrender of Certificates and Book-Entry Shares for cancellation to the Paying Agent or to such other agent or agents as may be appointed by the Purchaser, and upon delivery of a letter of transmittal, duly executed and in proper form, with respect to such Certificates or Book-Entry Shares, the holder of such Certificates or Book-Entry Shares shall be entitled to receive the Merger Consideration for each Share formerly represented by such Certificates and for each Book-Entry Share and the Paying Agent shall deliver the Merger Consideration that such holder is entitled to receive within 5 Business Days. Any Certificates and Book-Entry Shares so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled. If payment of the Merger Consideration is to be made to a Person other than the Person in whose name any surrendered Certificate is registered, it shall be a condition precedent of payment that the Certificate so surrendered shall be properly endorsed or shall be otherwise in proper form for transfer, and the Person requesting such payment shall have paid any transfer and other similar Taxes required by reason of the payment of the Merger Consideration to a Person other than the registered holder of the Certificate so surrendered and shall have established to the satisfaction of the Surviving Corporation that such Taxes either have been paid or are not required to be paid. Payment of the Merger Consideration with respect to Book-Entry Shares shall only be made to the Person in whose name such Book-Entry Shares are registered. Until surrendered as contemplated hereby, each Certificate or Book-Entry Share shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive the Merger Consideration as contemplated by this Agreement, without interest thereon.

(c) Transfer Books; No Further Ownership Rights in Shares. 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 on the records of the Company. From and after the Effective Time, the holders of Certificates and Book-Entry Shares outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall cease to have any rights with respect to such Shares except as otherwise provided for herein or by applicable Law. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates are presented to the Surviving Corporation for any reason, they shall be cancelled and exchanged as provided in this Agreement.

(d) Termination of Fund; Abandoned Property; No Liability. At any time following six months after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall be entitled to require the Paying Agent to deliver to it any cash funds (including any interest received with respect thereto) made available to the Paying Agent and not disbursed to holders of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares, and thereafter such holders shall be entitled to look only to the Surviving Corporation (subject to abandoned property, escheat or other similar Laws) only as general creditors thereof with respect to the Merger Consideration payable upon due surrender of their Certificates or Book-Entry Shares and compliance with the procedures in Section 2.2(b), without interest and subject to any withholding of Taxes required by applicable Law. If, immediately

prior to the six year anniversary of the Effective Time (or otherwise immediately prior to such time on which any payment in respect hereof would escheat to or become the property of any Governmental Authority pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Laws), any holder of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares has not complied with the procedures in Section 2.2(b) to receive payment of the Merger Consideration to which such holder would otherwise be entitled, the payment in respect of such Certificates or Book-Entry Shares shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, become the property of the Surviving Corporation, free and clear of all claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Surviving Corporation nor the Paying Agent shall be liable to any holder of a Certificate or Book-Entry Shares for Merger Consideration delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law.

(e) Withholding Rights. Parent, the Purchaser, the Surviving Corporation and the Paying Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the amounts otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts that Parent, the Purchaser, the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code or any other provision of applicable Law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld, 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.

(f) Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. In the event that any Certificates shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, the Paying Agent shall issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificates, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the holder thereof, the Merger Consideration payable in respect thereof pursuant to Section 2.1(a) hereof; provided, however, that the Purchaser may, in its sole discretion and as a condition precedent to the payment of such Merger Consideration, require the owners of such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificates to deliver a bond in such sum as it may reasonably direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against Parent, the Purchaser, the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent with respect to the Certificates alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.

(g) Transfer Taxes. All transfer, stamp, documentary and similar Taxes incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated herein shall be the responsibility of the holders of the Shares, unless otherwise required by applicable Law.

2.3 Dissenting Shares. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, no shares of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and in respect of which appraisal rights shall have been perfected in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL in connection with the Merger (collectively, “Dissenting Shares”) shall be converted into a right to receive that portion of the Merger Consideration otherwise payable to the holder of such Dissenting Shares as provided in Section 2.1(a), but shall instead be converted into the right to receive such consideration as may be determined to be due with respect to such Dissenting Shares pursuant to the DGCL. Each holder of Dissenting Shares who, pursuant to the provisions of the DGCL, becomes entitled to payment of the fair value of such shares shall receive payment therefor in accordance with the DGCL (but only after the value therefor shall have been agreed upon or finally determined pursuant to the DGCL). In the event that any holder of Company Common Stock fails to make an effective demand for payment or fails to perfect its appraisal rights as to its shares of Company Common

Stock or any Dissenting Shares shall otherwise lose their status as Dissenting Shares, then any such shares shall be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration issuable pursuant to Section 2.1(a) in respect of such shares as if such shares had never been Dissenting Shares, in accordance with and following the satisfaction of the applicable requirements and conditions set forth in Section 2.2. The Company shall give Parent prompt notice (and in no event more than two Business Days) of (i) any demand received by the Company for appraisal of Company Common Stock (and shall give Parent the opportunity to participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to any such demand) or (ii) any notice of exercise by any holder of Company Common Stock of appraisal rights in accordance with the DGCL. The Company agrees that, except with Parent’s prior written consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), it shall not voluntarily make any payment or offer to make any payment with respect to, or settle or offer to settle, any such demand for appraisal or exercise of appraisal rights.

2.4 Treatment of Company Options and Company RSUs.

(a) Treatment of Company Options. Immediately prior to the Effective Time, each outstanding and unexercised option to purchase Shares (each, a “Company Option”) granted under each stock option or other equity plan of the Company (each, a “Company Stock Plan”) shall be cancelled and, in exchange therefor, each former holder of any such cancelled Company Option shall be entitled to receive from the Company, in consideration of the cancellation of such Company Option and in settlement therefor, a payment in cash (subject to all applicable withholding or other Taxes required by applicable Law) of an amount equal to the product of (i) the total number of Shares(whether vested or unvested) subject to such Company Option immediately prior to such cancellation and (ii) the excess, if any, of the Merger Consideration over the exercise price per Share subject to such Company Option immediately prior to such cancellation (such amounts payable hereunder being referred to as the “Option Payments”); provided, however, that Option Payments with respect to any of the Company Options identified on Section 2.4(a) of the Company Disclosure Schedule shall be subject to the applicable agreement entered into by the holder of such Company Options and the Company (in such form as previously approved by Parent) on or prior to the date hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing and for the avoidance of doubt, to the extent the per share exercise price for the shares of Company Common Stock that would have been issuable upon exercise of such Company Option is greater than or equal to the Merger Consideration, the Company Option shall be terminated and cancelled at the Effective Time and no Option Payment shall be made. From and after the Effective Time, any such cancelled Company Option shall no longer be exercisable by the former holder thereof, but shall only entitle such holder to the payment of the Option Payment, if any. The Option Payments shall be paid by Parent or the Surviving Corporation as soon as practicable (and in any event within 15 Business Days) following the Effective Time, without interest; provided, however, that Option Payments with respect to any of the Company Options identified on Section 2.4(a) of the of the Company Disclosure Schedule shall be paid to the holder of such Company Options in accordance with the agreement entered into by such holder and the Company (in such form as previously approved by Parent) on or prior to the date hereof.

(b) Treatment of Company RSUs. Immediately prior to the Effective Time, each restricted stock unit representing a right to receive a Share (each, a “Company RSU”)

granted under a Company Stock Plan that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be cancelled and, in exchange therefor, each former holder of any such cancelled Company RSU shall be entitled to receive from the Company, in consideration of the cancellation of such Company RSU and in settlement therefor, a payment in cash (subject to all applicable withholding or other Taxes required by applicable Law) of an amount equal to the product of (i) the total number of Shares subject to such Company RSU immediately prior to such cancellation and (ii) the Merger Consideration (such amounts payable hereunder being referred to as the “RSU Payments”); provided, however, that with respect to each Company RSU, (A) one-half of the RSU Payments, without interest, shall be paid to the holder of such Company RSU as of immediately prior to the Effective Time on the one-year anniversary of the Closing Date and (B) the remaining one-half of the RSU Payments, without interest, shall be paid to the holder of such Company RSU as of immediately prior to the Effective Time on the two-year anniversary of the Closing Date, in each case subject to such holder’s continued employment with the Surviving Corporation or its Subsidiaries on each applicable payment date; provided, further, that if such holder’s employment with the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries is terminated by the Surviving Corporation or one of its Subsidiaries, as applicable, without Cause (as defined in Section 2.4(b) of the Company Disclosure Schedule) or due to such holder’s death or permanent disability (each, a “Qualifying Termination”), the remaining unpaid portion of the RSU Payments shall be paid to such holder as described in the immediately succeeding sentence on the first payroll date following the date of such Qualifying Termination.. From and after the Effective Time, any such cancelled Company RSU shall no longer represent the right to receive a Share by a holder thereof, but shall only entitle such holder to the payment of the RSU Payment.

(c) Miscellaneous. The Company shall, prior to the Effective Time, take (or cause to be taken) any and all action, and shall obtain all such consents, as may be necessary to effect the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.4, including by amending the applicable Company Stock Plans as set forth on Section 2.4(a) of the Company Disclosure Schedule.

Each of Parent and the Purchaser is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction where the ownership, leasing or operation of its properties or assets or the conduct of its business requires such qualification, except where the failure to be so qualified or in good standing, individually or in the aggregate, would not materially impair the ability of Parent and the Purchaser to consummate, or prevent or materially delay, the Offer, Merger or any of the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

4.2 Authority.

(a) Each of Parent and the Purchaser has all necessary organizational power and corporate authority to execute and deliver this Agreement, to perform its obligations hereunder and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, including the Offer and the Merger.

4.5 Litigation. As of the date hereof, there is no Order or Action pending, or to the Knowledge of Parent, threatened in writing against Parent or the Purchaser or their respective assets or properties, except as would not, individually or in the aggregate, materially impair the ability of Parent or the Purchaser to consummate, or prevent or materially delay, the Offer, the Merger or any of the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

4.6 Information in the Schedule 14D-9. The information supplied by Parent and the Purchaser in writing expressly for inclusion or incorporation by reference in the Schedule 14D-9 (and any amendment thereof or supplement thereto) will not, at the date mailed to the Company’s stockholders, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading.

(b) With respect to the information disclosed pursuant to Section 5.2(a), Parent shall comply with, and shall cause its Representatives to comply with, all of its obligations under the Confidentiality Agreement.

5.3 No Solicitation.

(a) The Company shall and shall cause each of the Company Subsidiaries and its Representatives to immediately (i) cease and cause to be terminated any solicitation, encouragement, discussions or negotiations with any Persons that may be ongoing with respect to a Competing Proposal or Competing Inquiry and (ii) request, and thereafter use best efforts to cause, each Person that has previously executed a confidentiality agreement in connection with such Person’s consideration of a Competing Proposal to return to the Company or destroy any non-public information previously furnished to such Person or to any Person’s Representatives by or on behalf of the Company or any Company Subsidiary.

(b) From and after the date of this Agreement until the Effective Time or, if earlier, the termination of this Agreement in accordance with ARTICLE 7, the Company shall not and shall cause each of the Company Subsidiaries and its and their Representatives not to, directly or indirectly, (i) solicit, initiate, knowingly facilitate or encourage (including by way of furnishing non-public information) any Competing Proposal or Competing Inquiry, (ii) engage in, continue or otherwise participate in any discussions or negotiations regarding, or furnish to any other Person any non-public information in connection with or for the purpose of encouraging or facilitating, a Competing Proposal or Competing Inquiry, (iii) approve, endorse, recommend, execute or enter into, or publicly propose to approve, endorse, recommend, execute or enter into any letter of intent, memorandum of understanding, agreement in principle, acquisition agreement, merger agreement or similar definitive Contract (other than an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement) with respect to any Competing Proposal (an “Alternative Acquisition Agreement”), (iv) take any action to make the provisions of any Takeover Statute (including Section 203 of the DGCL) or any applicable anti-takeover provision in the Company’s organizational documents inapplicable to any transactions contemplated by a Competing Proposal, (v) terminate, amend, release, modify or knowingly fail to enforce any provision of, of grant any permission, waiver or request under, any standstill, confidentiality of similar contract entered into by the Company in respect of or in contemplation of a Competing Proposal (other than to the extent the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with its independent financial advisors and outside legal counsel, that failure to take any such actions under this Section 5.3(b)(v) would be reasonably likely to result in a breach of its fiduciary duties under applicable Law) or (vi) propose, resolve or agree to do any of the foregoing.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 5.3(b) or any other provisions of this Agreement, if, at any time on or after the date of this Agreement and prior to the Acceptance Time, (i) the Company, any Company Subsidiary or any of its Representatives receives a written, bona-fide Competing Proposal from any Person or group of Persons which did not result from any breach by the Company, any Company Subsidiary or their Representatives of this Section 5.3, (ii) the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with its independent financial advisors and outside legal counsel, that such Competing Proposal constitutes or would reasonably be expected to lead to a Superior Proposal and (iii) the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with its legal advisors, that failure to take such action would be reasonably likely to result in a breach of its fiduciary duties under applicable Law, then the Company and its Representatives may (A) furnish, pursuant to an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement, information (including non-public

information) with respect to the Company and the Company Subsidiaries to the Person or group of Persons who has made such Competing Proposal; provided, that the Company shall promptly (and in any event within 24 hours) provide to Parent any material non-public information concerning the Company or any Company Subsidiary that is provided to any Person given such access which was not previously provided to Parent or its Representatives and (B) engage in or otherwise participate in discussions or negotiations with the Person or group of Persons making such Competing Proposal.

(d) From and after the date of this Agreement, the Company shall promptly (and in any event within 24 hours), notify Parent in the event that the Company, any Company Subsidiary or any of their Representatives receives (i) any Competing Proposal or a Competing Inquiry, (ii) any request for non-public information relating to the Company or any Company Subsidiary or requests for information in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice and unrelated to a Competing Proposal or (iii) any Competing Inquiry or request for discussions or negotiations regarding any Competing Proposal. In connection with such notice, the Company shall indicate the identity of such Person or group of Persons and shall provide a copy of such Competing Inquiry, Competing Proposal, indication, or request (or, where no such copy is available, a reasonably detailed description of such Competing Inquiry, Competing Proposal, indication, or request), including any modifications thereto. Thereafter, the Company shall keep Parent informed (orally and in writing) on a current basis (and in any event at Parent’s request and otherwise no later than 24 hours after the occurrence of any material changes, developments, discussions or negotiations) of the status of any Competing Inquiry, Competing Proposal, indication, or request (including the material terms and conditions thereof and of any modification thereto), and any material developments, discussions and negotiations, including furnishing copies of any revised written proposals or offers relating thereto. Neither the Company nor any Company Subsidiary will 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.

(e) From and after the date of this Agreement, except as expressly permitted by this Section 5.3(e) and subject in all respects to Section 5.3(f), neither the Company Board nor any committee thereof shall (i) withhold, withdraw, qualify or modify, or publicly propose to withhold, withdraw, qualify or modify, in a manner adverse to Parent or the Purchaser, the Company Board Recommendation, (ii) fail to include the Company Board Recommendation in the Schedule 14D-9, (iii) if a tender offer or exchange offer for shares of capital stock of the Company that constitutes a Competing Proposal is commenced, fail to publicly recommend against acceptance of such tender offer or exchange offer by the stockholders of the Company (taking no position with respect to the acceptance of such tender offer or exchange offer by the stockholders of the Company, shall constitute a failure to recommend against acceptance of such tender offer or exchange offer) within 10 Business Days after commencement thereof or fail to reaffirm the Company Board Recommendation within four Business Days after Parent so requests in writing (provided, that Parent shall be not be entitled to request such reaffirmation more than three times), (iv) adopt, approve or recommend, or publicly propose to adopt, approve or recommend, any Competing Proposal made or received after the date of this Agreement (any of the actions described in clauses (i) through (iv) of this Section 5.3(e), an “Adverse Recommendation Change”) or (v) cause or permit the Company or any Company Subsidiary to enter into any Alternative Acquisition Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set

forth in this Agreement, at any time prior to the Acceptance Time, the Company Board shall be permitted to effect any Adverse Recommendation Change (x) described in clause (i) of such definition or otherwise terminate this Agreement to concurrently enter into a definitive Alternative Acquisition Agreement, in each case solely, under this clause (x), with respect to a Superior Proposal, subject in each case to compliance with Section 5.3(f) and the concurrent payment of any amount owed Parent pursuant to Section 7.2, if the Company Board (A) has received a bona fide written Competing Proposal that the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with its independent financial advisors and outside legal counsel, constitutes a Superior Proposal, after having complied with, and giving effect to all of the adjustments which may be offered by Parent and the Purchaser pursuant to Section 5.3(f) and (B) determines in good faith, after consultation with its legal advisors, that failure to take such action would be reasonably likely to result in a breach of its fiduciary duties under applicable Law or (y) in response to a material development or change in circumstances (that is not a Competing Inquiry or Competing Proposal) and that was not known to the Company Board as of the date of this Agreement (an “Intervening Event”) if the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with its legal advisors, that failure to make an Adverse Recommendation Change would be reasonably likely to result in a breach of its fiduciary duties under applicable Law; provided, that the Company Board may not make an Adverse Recommendation Change in response to an Intervening Event unless the Company (A) provides Parent with a written description of such Intervening Event in reasonable detail, (B) keeps Parent reasonably informed of material developments with respect to such Intervening Event, (C) notifies Parent in writing at least four Business Days before making an Adverse Recommendation Change with respect to such Intervening Event of its intention to do so and specifying the reasons therefor and (D) prior to the expiration of such four Business Day period, Parent does not make a bona fide proposal to amend the terms of this Agreement that the Company Board determines in good faith would obviate the need to make an Adverse Recommendation Change in accordance with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law.

(f) From and after the date of this Agreement, the Company Board shall not be entitled to effect an Adverse Recommendation Change or terminate this Agreement, in each case, with respect to a Superior Proposal unless (i) none of the Company, any Company Subsidiary or any of their Representatives has breached this Section 5.3 in any respect as relates to such Superior Proposal, (ii) the Company has provided written notice (a “Notice of Superior Proposal”) to Parent and the Purchaser that the Company intends to take such action, which notice includes an unredacted copy of the Superior Proposal that is the basis of such action (including the identity of the Third Party making the Superior Proposal) and copies of all relevant documents relating to such Superior Proposal, (iii) during the four Business Days period following Parent’s and the Purchaser’s receipt of the Notice of Superior Proposal, the Company shall, and shall cause the its Representatives to, negotiate with Parent and the Purchaser in good faith (to the extent Parent and the Purchaser desire to negotiate) to make such adjustments in the terms and conditions of this Agreement so that such Superior Proposal would cease to constitute a Superior Proposal and (iv) following the end of the four Business Days period, the Company Board shall have determined in good faith, after consultation with its independent financial advisors and outside legal counsel, taking into account any changes to this Agreement proposed in writing by Parent and the Purchaser in response to the Notice of Superior Proposal or otherwise, that the Superior Proposal giving rise to the Notice of Superior Proposal continues to constitute a Superior Proposal. Any amendment to the financial terms or any other material

amendment of such Superior Proposal shall require a new Notice of Superior Proposal and the Company shall be required to comply again with the requirements of this Section 5.3(f); provided, however, that for purposes of this sentence, references to the four Business Day period above shall be deemed to be references to a two Business Day period.

(g) Nothing contained in this Agreement shall prohibit the Company or the Company Board, directly or indirectly through their respective Representatives, from (i) taking and disclosing to the Company’s stockholders a position with respect to a tender or exchange offer by a Third Party pursuant to Rule 14d-9 or Rule 14e-2 under the Exchange Act or (ii) making any “stop, look and listen” communication to the Company’s stockholders pursuant to Rule 14d-9(f) under the Exchange Act if the Company Board has determined in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that failure to take such action would be reasonably likely to result in a breach of the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law; provided, however, that any disclosure permitted under Section 5.3(g)(i) that is not an express rejection of any applicable Competing Proposal or an express reaffirmation of the Company Board’s recommendation in favor of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be deemed an Adverse Recommendation Change.

(h) The Company agrees that any violation of the restrictions set forth in this Section 5.3 by any of its Representatives shall be deemed a breach of this Agreement (including this Section 5.3) by the Company.

5.4 Appropriate Action; Consents; Filings.

(a) The Company and Parent shall use (and cause their respective Subsidiaries to use) their commercially reasonable efforts to (i) take, or cause to be taken, all appropriate action and do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable Law or otherwise to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement as promptly as practicable, (ii) obtain from any Governmental Authorities any consents, licenses, permits, waivers, approvals, authorizations or orders required to be obtained by Parent or the Company or any of their respective Subsidiaries, or to avoid any Action or Order by any Governmental Authority, in connection with the authorization, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, including the Offer and the Merger and (iii) promptly make all necessary filings, and thereafter make any other required submissions, and pay any fees due in connection therewith, with respect to this Agreement, the Offer and the Merger required under (A) the Exchange Act, the Securities Act and any other applicable securities Laws, (B) the HSR Act and the Foreign Antitrust Laws and (C) any other applicable Law, if any; provided, that the Company and Parent shall cooperate with each other in all respects in connection with (x) preparing and filing the Offer Documents, the Schedule 14D-9 and any other filings made or required to be made with the SEC in connection with the Offer or the Merger and the transactions contemplated thereby, (y) making an appropriate filing pursuant to the HSR Act and the Foreign Antitrust Laws as set forth in Section 5.4(d) and determining whether any other action by or in respect of, or filing with, any Governmental Authority is required, in connection with the consummation of the Offer or the Merger and (z) seeking any such actions, consents, approvals or waivers or timely making any such filings. The Company and Parent shall furnish to each other all information required for any application or other filing under the rules and regulations of any applicable Law in

connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Company and Parent may, as each deems advisable and necessary, reasonably designate any competitively sensitive material provided to the other pursuant to this Section 5.4 as “Outside Counsel Only Material.”

(b) The Company and Parent shall give (or shall cause their respective Subsidiaries to give) any notices to Third Parties required to be given by such Person, and use, and cause their respective Subsidiaries to use, their commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any Third Party consents applicable to the Company or Parent, as the case may be, (i) necessary, proper or advisable to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (ii) required to be disclosed in the Company Disclosure Schedule or the Parent Disclosure Schedule, as applicable or (iii) in the case of the Company, required to prevent a Company Material Adverse Effect from occurring prior to or after the Effective Time; provided, however, that the Company and Parent shall coordinate and cooperate in determining whether any actions, consents, approvals or waivers are required to be obtained from parties to any Company Material Contracts in connection with consummation of the Offer or the Merger and seeking any such actions, consents, approvals or waivers. In the event that the Company shall fail to obtain any Third Party consent described in the first sentence of this Section 5.4(b), the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts, and shall take any such actions reasonably requested by Parent, to minimize any adverse effect upon the Company and its Subsidiaries, and their respective businesses resulting, or which could reasonably be expected to result, after the consummation of the Offer or the Effective Time, from the failure to obtain such consent. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in connection with obtaining any approval or consent from any Person with respect to the Offer or the Merger, (i) without the prior written consent of Parent, none of the Company or any Company Subsidiary shall pay or commit to pay to such Person whose approval or consent is being solicited any cash or other consideration, make any commitment or incur any liability or other obligation due to such Person and (ii) neither Parent nor the Purchaser shall be required to pay or commit to pay to such Person whose approval or consent is being solicited any cash or other consideration, make any commitment or incur any liability or other obligation due to such Person.

(c) Without limiting the generality of anything contained in this Section 5.4, each party hereto shall: (i) give the other parties prompt notice of any request, inquiry, objection, charge or other Action, actual or threatened, by or before the United States Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”), the United States Department of Justice (“DOJ”) or any other applicable Governmental Authority or any Third Party with respect to the Offer, the Merger or any of the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (ii) keep the other parties informed as to the status of any such request, inquiry, objection, charge or other Action and (iii) promptly inform the other parties of any communication to or from any Governmental Authority or any Third Party regarding the Offer or the Merger. Each party hereto will (i) use its commercially reasonable efforts to resolve any such request, inquiry, objection, charge or other Action, and to have vacated, lifted, reversed or overturned any Order, whether temporary, preliminary or permanent, that is in effect and that prohibits, prevents or restricts consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement so as to permit consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and (ii) consult and cooperate with the other parties and consider in good faith the views of the other parties in connection with any filing, analysis, appearance, presentation, memorandum, brief, argument, opinion or proposal made or submitted in connection with the Offer, the Merger or any of the other transactions contemplated by this

Agreement (such cooperation shall include consultation with each other in advance of any meeting or conference with the FTC, the DOJ or any other Governmental Authority or, in connection with any Action by a Third Party, with any other Person, and to the extent permitted by the FTC, the DOJ or such other applicable Governmental Authority or other Person, providing the other party the opportunity to attend and participate in such meetings and conferences).

(d) Without limiting the generality of anything contained in this Section 5.4, each party hereto agrees to: (i) on the date of the commencement of the Offer, make an appropriate filing of a Notification and Report Form pursuant to the HSR Act (including seeking early termination of the waiting period under the HSR Act) with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (ii) on the later of (x) the date of the commencement of the Offer and (y) 10 Business Days following the date of this Agreement, make the appropriate initial filings pursuant to the Foreign Antitrust Laws with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (iii) supply as promptly as reasonably practicable any additional information and documentary material that may be requested pursuant to the HSR Act by the FTC or the DOJ or pursuant to the Foreign Antitrust laws by the applicable Governmental Authorities and (iv) use its commercially reasonable efforts to take or cause to be taken all other actions necessary, proper or advisable consistent with this Section 5.4 to cause the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting periods, or receipt of required authorizations, as applicable, under the HSR Act and the Foreign Antitrust Laws as soon as practicable. Parent shall be entitled to direct the antitrust defense of the Offer, the Merger or any other transactions contemplated thereby, or negotiations with, any Governmental Authority or other Third Party relating to the Offer, the Merger or regulatory filings under applicable competition Law, subject to the provisions of this Section 5.4. The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to provide full and effective support of Parent in all material respects in all such negotiations and other discussions or actions to the extent requested by Parent. The Company shall not make any offer, acceptance or counter-offer to or otherwise engage in negotiations or discussions with any Governmental Authority with respect to any proposed settlement, consent decree, commitment or remedy, or, in the event of litigation, discovery, admissibility of evidence, timing or scheduling, except as specifically requested by or agreed with Parent. Each party hereto shall bear its own Expenses in connection with any such filings and actions contemplated pursuant to this Section 5.4(d). None of Parent, the Purchaser or the Company shall commit to or agree with any Governmental Authority to stay, toll or extend any applicable waiting period under the HSR Act or applicable competition Laws, without the prior written consent of the other parties. If any request for additional information and documents, including a “second request” under the HSR Act, is received from any Governmental Authority then the Parties shall substantially comply with any such request at the earliest practicable date. If any administrative or judicial action or proceeding is instituted (or threatened to be instituted) by a Governmental Authority challenging the transactions contemplated by this Agreement as violative of the HSR Act or any applicable antitrust or competition Law, each of the Parent and the Company shall, and shall cause their respective Representatives to, cooperate to contest and resist, except insofar as the Parent and the Company may otherwise agree, any such action or proceeding, including any action or proceeding that seeks a temporary restraining order or preliminary injunction that would prohibit, prevent or restrict consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Agreement (but subject in all respects to Section 5.1), (i) nothing in this Section 5.4 shall limit a party’s right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to ARTICLE 7 hereof and (ii) nothing in this Agreement shall obligate Parent, the Purchaser or any of their respective Affiliates to agree to (and none of the Company or any Company Subsidiary shall, without the prior written consent of Parent): (A) sell, hold separate or otherwise dispose of all or a portion of its respective business, assets or properties, or conduct its business in a specified manner, (B) pay any amounts (other than the payment of filing fees and expenses and fees of counsel), or grant any counterparty to any Contract any material accommodation, (C) limit in any manner whatsoever the ability of such entities to conduct, own, operate or control any of their respective businesses, assets or properties or of the businesses, properties or assets of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries or (D) waive any of the conditions set forth in Annex I of this Agreement.

(f) Parent and the Purchaser agree that, between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time, each of Parent and the Purchaser shall not, and shall ensure that none of their Subsidiaries or other Affiliates shall, take any action or propose, announce an intention or agree, in writing or otherwise, to take any action that would reasonably be expected to materially delay or prevent the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

5.5 Certain Notices. From and after the date of this Agreement until the Effective Time, each party hereto shall promptly notify the other party hereto of (a) the occurrence, or non-occurrence, of any event that would be likely to cause any condition to the obligations of any party to effect the Offer, the Merger, or any other transaction contemplated by this Agreement not to be satisfied or (b) 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 which would reasonably be expected to result in any condition to the obligations of any party to effect the Offer, the Merger or any other transaction contemplated by this Agreement not to be satisfied; provided, however, that the delivery of any notice pursuant to this Section 5.5 shall not cure any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement or otherwise limit or affect the remedies available hereunder to the party receiving such notice.

5.6 Public Announcements. The initial press release with respect to this Agreement, the Offer, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby shall be a joint release mutually agreed upon by the Company and Parent. Thereafter, none of the parties shall (and each of the parties shall cause its Representatives and Affiliates, if applicable, not to) issue any press release or make any public announcement concerning this Agreement, the Offer, the Merger or the other transactions contemplated hereby without obtaining the prior written consent of (a) the Company, in the event the disclosing party is Parent, the Purchaser, any of its Affiliates or Representatives or (b) Parent, in the event the disclosing party is the Company, any Company Subsidiary or any of their Representatives, in each case, with such consent not to be unreasonably conditioned, delayed or withheld; provided, however, that (i) if a party determines in good faith and based upon advice of counsel, that a press release or public announcement is required by applicable Law or the rules or regulations of any applicable stock exchange, such party may make such press release or public announcement, in which case the disclosing party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to provide the other parties reasonable time to comment on such release or announcement in advance of such issuance, (ii) this Section 5.6 shall

terminate upon an Adverse Recommendation Change and (iii) each of the parties may make public statements in response to specific questions by the press, analysts, investors or those attending industry conferences or financial analyst conference calls, so long as any such statements are not materially inconsistent with previous press releases, public disclosures or public statements made jointly by Parent and the Company and do not reveal material, non-public information regarding the other parties, the Offer, the Merger or the transactions contemplated hereby.

5.7 Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

(a) Parent and the Surviving Corporation agree that all rights of indemnification, exculpation and limitation of liabilities existing in favor of past and present directors and officers of the Company as provided in the Company Charter, the Company Bylaws or under any indemnification, employment or other similar Contracts between such past and present directors and officers of the Company and the Company, in each case as in effect on the date of this Agreement with respect to acts or omissions in their capacity as directors or officers occurring at or prior to the Effective Time (and the Company represents and warrants that any such indemnification, employment and other similar Contracts entered into on or after January 1, 2011 are set forth on Section 5.7(a) of the Company Disclosure Schedule) shall survive the Merger and continue in full force and effect in accordance with their respective terms (unless otherwise required by applicable Law). From and after the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation, to pay and perform in a timely manner such indemnification obligations. Subject to Section 5.7(c), for a period of six years from and after the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Surviving Corporation to contain provisions no less favorable with respect to indemnification, exculpation, and advancement of expenses of directors and officers of the Company for periods at or prior to the Effective Time than are currently set forth in the Company Charter and the Company Bylaws (unless otherwise required by applicable Law).

(b) For a period of six years from and after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall maintain for the benefit of the Company’s directors and officers, as of the Effective Time, an insurance and indemnification policy that provides coverage for events occurring prior to the Effective Time (the “D&O Insurance”) that is substantially equivalent to and in any event not less favorable in the aggregate than the Company’s existing policy (accurate and complete copies of which have been previously provided to Parent) or, if substantially equivalent insurance coverage is unavailable, the best available coverage; provided, however, that the Surviving Corporation shall not be required to pay an annual premium for the D&O Insurance in excess of 250% of the last annual premium paid prior to the date of this Agreement, which premium the Company represents and warrants to be as set forth on Section 5.7(b) of the Company Disclosure Schedule. The provisions of the immediately preceding sentence shall be deemed to have been satisfied if prepaid policies are obtained by Parent prior to the Effective Time, which policies provide such directors and officers with substantially equivalent coverage for an aggregate period of six years with respect to claims arising from facts or events that occurred on or before the Effective Time, including in respect of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. If such prepaid policies have been obtained prior to the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall maintain such policies in full force and effect, and continue to honor the obligations thereunder.

(c) In the event that Parent, the Surviving Corporation or the Surviving Company (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then proper provision shall be made so that such continuing or surviving corporation or entity or transferee of such assets, as the case may be, shall assume the obligations set forth in this Section 5.7.

(d) The obligations under this Section 5.7 shall not be terminated or modified in such a manner as to adversely affect in any material respect any indemnitee to whom this Section 5.7 applies without the consent of such affected indemnitee, subject to applicable Law (it being expressly agreed that the indemnitees to whom this Section 5.7 applies shall be third party beneficiaries of this Section 5.7).

5.8 State Takeover Laws. If any Takeover Statute becomes or is deemed to be applicable to the Company, Parent, the Purchaser or any Affiliate of Parent, the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement, the Offer or the Merger, including the acquisition of Shares pursuant thereto, the Tender Agreements or any other transaction contemplated by this Agreement, then the Company Board shall take all action necessary to render such Law inapplicable to the foregoing.

5.9 Section 16 Matters. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company will take all such steps as may be required to cause any dispositions of Company equity securities (including derivative securities with respect to Company Common Stock) 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 to be exempt under Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act.

5.10 Employees and Employee Benefit Plan Matters.

(a) For a period of twelve months following the Effective Time, Parent shall provide, or shall cause to be provided, to those employees of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries who continue to be employed by the Parent and Parent Subsidiaries (individually, “Company Employee” and collectively, “Company Employees”) (i) annual base salary or base wages and short-term incentive compensation opportunities and (ii) benefits (including severance benefits) that are substantially comparable, in the aggregate, to the benefits provided to similarly situated employees of Parent or the Parent Subsidiaries.

(b) For purposes of vesting, eligibility to participate and levels of benefits (but not benefit accrual under any defined benefit plan or vesting under any equity incentive plan) under the employee benefit plans of Parent and the Parent Subsidiaries in which Company Employees first become eligible to participate after the Effective Time (including any Company Employee Plans) (the “New Plans”), each Company Employee shall be credited with his or her years of service with the Company and the Company 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 similar Company Employee 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, Parent shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause (i) each Company Employee to be immediately eligible to participate, without any waiting time, in any and all New Plans, and (ii) for purposes of each New Plan providing medical, dental, pharmaceutical and/or vision benefits to any Company Employee, 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 Company Employee Plans in which such Company Employee participated immediately prior to the Effective Time. Parent shall cause any eligible expenses incurred by any Company Employee and his or her covered dependents during the plan year that includes the Effective Time to be taken into account for purposes of satisfying all deductible, coinsurance and maximum out-of-pocket requirements applicable to such Company Employee and his or her covered dependents under any New Plan (to the extent such amounts would have been taken into account for such requirements under any comparable Company Employee Plan prior to the Effective Time).

(c) Effective as of the day immediately preceding the date that the Purchaser and the Company become part of the same controlled group pursuant to Sections 414(b), (c), (m) or (o) of the Code (the “Controlled Group Date”), unless otherwise directed in writing by Parent at least ten Business Days prior to the Controlled Group Date, the Company shall take or cause to be taken all actions necessary to effect the termination of any and all Company Employee Plans intended to qualify as qualified cash or deferred arrangements under Section 401(k) of the Code (each, a “401(k) Plan”). The Company shall provide Parent with evidence that each such 401(k) Plan has been terminated pursuant to an action by the Company Board.

(d) The Company shall take such action as may be necessary under the Company’s Employee Stock Ownership Plan (the “ESOP”) to terminate the ESOP effective as of the day immediately preceding the Controlled Group Date. The Company shall make the final contribution to the ESOP immediately after the date of this Agreement and shall not make any additional contributions to the ESOP thereafter. The Company shall provide timely notice of termination of the ESOP in accordance with the terms of the ESOP.

5.11 Rule 14d-10(d) Matters.

(a) The Company shall cause the compensation committee of the Company Board to be, at all times from and after the date of this Agreement until the first date on which the Parent’s designees constitute a majority of the Company Board pursuant to Section 1.3, composed solely of “independent directors” within the meaning of Rule 14d- 10(d)(2) under the Exchange Act and the instructions thereto. In furtherance of the foregoing, to the extent necessary, the Company Board shall, at a meeting duly called and held, determine that each of the members of the Compensation Committee of the Company Board is an “independent director.” Prior to the Effective Time, the Company (acting through a compensation committee of the Company Board or its independent directors), shall take all steps that may be necessary or advisable to cause each Company Compensation Arrangement and each Parent Compensation Arrangement with any of its directors, officers or employees to be approved as an Employment Compensation Arrangement, and shall take all other action necessary to satisfy the requirements of the non-exclusive safe-harbor with respect to such Company Compensation Arrangements and

Parent Compensation Arrangements in accordance to Rule 14d-10(d)(2) under the Exchange Act; provided, that the Company shall deliver to Parent drafts of all calculations, resolutions, consents, disclosures and other documents prepared in connection with the actions required under this Section 5.11(a), and provide 10 Business Days for Parent’s review and comment on all such calculations, resolutions, consents, disclosures and other documents (and the Company’s acceptance of Parent’s reasonable comments shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). For purposes of this Agreement, “Parent Compensation Arrangement” means (i) any employment agreement, severance agreement or change of control agreement between Avago Technologies Limited, Parent or any of their respective Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and any holder of Shares who is or was a director, officer or employee of the Company or any Company Subsidiary, on the other hand, (ii) any Company Options or Company RSUs awarded to, or any acceleration of vesting of any Company Options or Company RSUs held by, any holder of Shares who is or was a director, officer or employee of the Company or any Company Subsidiary and (iii) other Employment Compensation Arrangements entered into or proposed to be entered into between Avago Technologies Limited, Parent or any of their respective direct or indirect Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and any directors, officers or employees of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, on the other hand.

(b) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, neither the Company nor any Company Subsidiary shall, from and after the date hereof and until the Effective Time, enter into, establish, amend or modify any plan, program or Contract pursuant to which compensation is paid or payable, or pursuant to which benefits are provided, in each case to any current or former director, manager, officer, employee or independent contractor of the Company or any Company Subsidiary unless, prior to such entry into, establishment, amendment or modification, the Compensation Committee (each member of which the Company Board determined is an “independent director” within the meaning of Listing Rule 5605(a)(2) of the NASDAQ rules and shall be an “independent director” in accordance with the requirements of Rule 14d-10(d)(2) under the Exchange Act at the time of any such action) shall have taken all such steps as may reasonably be necessary to (i) approve as an Employment Compensation Arrangement each such plan, program or Contract and (ii) satisfy the requirements of the non-exclusive safe harbor under Rule 14d-10(d)(2) under the Exchange Act with respect to such plan, program or Contract; provided, that nothing in this Section 5.11 shall be construed to permit the Company to take any action with respect to its securities that is prohibited by the terms of this Agreement.

5.12 Stockholder Litigation. The Company shall control, and the Company shall give Parent the opportunity to participate in the defense of, any Action brought by stockholders of the Company against the Company and/or its directors relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the Offer and the Merger; provided, however, that the Company shall not compromise, settle, come to an arrangement regarding or agree to compromise, settle or come to an arrangement regarding any Action arising or resulting from the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or consent to the same without the prior written consent of Parent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

5.13 NASDAQ Matters. Prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall cooperate with Parent and use its commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and do or cause to be done all things, necessary, proper or advisable on its part under applicable

Laws and rules and policies of NASDAQ to cause the delisting of the Company and of the Company Common Stock from NASDAQ as promptly as practicable after the Effective Time and the deregistration of the Common Stock under the Exchange Act as promptly as practicable after such delisting.

5.14 Obligations of the Purchaser. Parent will take all actions necessary to cause the Purchaser to perform its obligations under this Agreement and to consummate the Offer and the Merger on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.

5.16 Treatment of Certain Indebtedness. Simultaneously with the Acceptance Time, the Company shall repay or cause to be repaid, any outstanding Obligations (as defined in the Loan and Security Agreement) as directed by the Bank (as defined in the Loan and Security Agreement). In connection therewith, the Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, deliver all notices and to take all other actions to facilitate and cause the termination of the Loan and Security Agreement effective as of the Acceptance Time, the repayment in full of all Obligations (as defined in the Loan and Security Agreement) then outstanding thereunder and the release of any liens and termination of all guarantees in connection therewith as of the Acceptance Time; provided, that in no event shall the Company or any of its Subsidiaries pay, or commit to pay, any amounts (other than the payment of any then outstanding Obligations (as defined in the Loan and Security Agreement), customary filing fees and reasonable and documented attorney’s fees) or grant the Bank (as defined in the Loan and Security Agreement) any concession or accommodation, in each case, without the prior written consent of Parent. The Company shall deliver to Parent (i) a copy of a payoff letter, in customary form (and in any event, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Parent), from the Bank (as defined in the Loan and Security Agreement) under the Loan and Security Agreement no later than three Business Days prior to the Acceptance Time and (ii) a duly executed copy of such payoff letter from the Bank immediately prior to the Acceptance Time.

7.2 Effect of Termination.

(a) In the event of termination of this Agreement by either the Company or Parent as provided in Section 7.1, this Agreement shall become void and there shall be no liability or obligation on the part of Parent, the Purchaser or the Company or their respective Subsidiaries, officers or directors except (i) with respect to Section 5.2(b), Section 5.6, this Section 7.2 and ARTICLE 8, each of which shall remain in full force and effect and (ii) with respect to any liabilities or damages incurred or suffered as a result of the intentional and material breach by the Company, on the one hand, or Parent or the Purchaser, on the other hand, of any of their respective representations, warranties, covenants or other agreements set forth in this Agreement.

(c) Parent and the Company agree that if this Agreement is terminated by Parent or the Company pursuant to Section 7.1(b) (by reason of a failure of the Minimum Condition or any of the conditions of the Offer specified in paragraphs (c)(iv) or (c)(vi) (to the extent the same relates to a matter under paragraph (c)(iv)) of Annex I) or Section 7.1(f) (to the extent such termination right arises from to a breach of a covenant under this Agreement) and prior to the date of termination of this Agreement a Competing Proposal shall have been publicly announced or otherwise become publicly known, then the Company shall pay the Breakup Fee to Parent no later than two Business Days after the earlier to occur of (A) the date of entrance by the Company or any Company Subsidiary into a definitive agreement concerning a transaction that constitutes a Competing Proposal; (provided, that for purposes of this Section 7.2(c), the term “Competing Proposal” shall have the meaning assigned to such term, except that the references to “15%” shall be replaced by “50%”) or (B) the date any Person (other than Parent or any Parent Subsidiary) purchases (in one or a series of transactions) assets of the Company or any Company Subsidiary representing 50% or more of the consolidated assets of the Company and the Companies Subsidiaries, or Equity Interests representing 50% or more of the voting power of the Company; provided, that any definitive agreement or purchase referred to in clauses (A) and (B), respectively, of this sentence that is entered into or consummated by the Company or any Company Subsidiary within 12 months of the termination of this Agreement, or if there is no such definitive agreement with respect to a purchase contemplated by clause (B), such purchase described in clause (B) is consummated within 12 months of the termination of this Agreement.

Any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed by the party or parties to be bound thereby, but such extension or waiver or failure to insist on strict compliance with an obligation, covenant, agreement or condition shall not operate as a waiver of, or estoppel with respect to, any subsequent or other failure.

(ii) there shall be any Law or Order enacted, entered, enforced, promulgated or which is deemed applicable pursuant to an authoritative interpretation by or on behalf of a Governmental Authority of competent jurisdiction with respect to the Offer or the Merger, other than the application to the Offer or the Merger of any applicable waiting period or other requirement under any Required Governmental Approvals, which would reasonably expected to result in any of the consequences referred to in clauses (A) through (C) of paragraph (i) above;

(iii) (A) any representation or warranty of the Company contained in Sections 3.2, 3.3 or 3.25 of the Merger Agreement shall fail to be true and correct in all material respects, as of the date of the Merger Agreement or as of the Expiration Date with the same force and effect as if made on and as of such date, except for representations and warranties that relate to a specific date or time (which need only be true and correct in all material respects as of such date or time) or (B) any other representation or warranty of the Company contained in the Merger Agreement (without giving effect to any references to any Company Material Adverse Effect or materiality qualifications and other qualifications based upon the concept of materiality or similar phrases contained therein) shall fail to be true and correct in any respect as of the date of
