AGREEMENT

The Parties to this Agreement, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:

SECTION 1. THE OFFER

1.1. The Offer.

(a) Commencement of the Offer. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, as promptly as practicable (and in any event not later than the fifteenth (15th) business day) after the date of this Agreement (unless otherwise agreed to in writing by Parent and the Company), Purchaser shall (and Parent shall cause Purchaser to) commence (within the meaning of Rule 14d-2 under the Exchange Act) the Offer.

(b) Terms and Conditions of the Offer. Each of Parent and Purchaser shall use its reasonable best efforts to consummate the Offer, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. The obligations of Purchaser to, and of Parent to cause Purchaser to, irrevocably accept for payment, and pay for, any Shares validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) pursuant to the Offer are subject only to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including the prior satisfaction of the Offer Conditions. The Offer shall be made by means of an offer to purchase that is disseminated to all of the holders of Shares pursuant to the Exchange Act and contains the terms set forth in this Agreement, the Minimum Condition, the Termination Condition and the other Offer Conditions (the “Offer to Purchase”). Purchaser reserves the right to: (i) increase the Offer Price; (ii) waive any Offer Condition (other than the Minimum Condition, the Termination Condition or conditions (d) (to the extent such waiver would reasonably be expected to adversely affect the Company’s stockholders, directors or officers or require rescission of the transactions contemplated hereby under applicable Antitrust Laws) or (f) (to the extent such order or injunction applies against the Acquired Corporations or their respective directors or officers) set forth in Annex I); and (iii) make any other changes in the terms and conditions of the Offer not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, without the prior written consent of the Company in its sole and absolute discretion, Parent and Purchaser shall not: (A) decrease the Offer Price other than in the manner required by Section 1.1(g); (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 or requirements to the Offer in addition to the Offer Conditions; (E) amend, change or waive the Minimum Condition, the Termination Condition or conditions (d) (to the extent such amendment, change or waiver would reasonably be expected to adversely affect the Company’s stockholders, directors or officers or require rescission of the transactions contemplated hereby under applicable Antitrust Laws) or (f) (to the extent such order or injunction applies against the Acquired Corporations or their respective directors or officers) set forth in Annex I; (F) except as provided in Sections 1.1(c) or 1.1(d), terminate the Offer or accelerate, extend or otherwise change the Expiration Date; (G) provide any “subsequent offering period” (or any extension of such “subsequent offering period”) within the meaning of Rule 14d-11 promulgated under the Exchange

Act; or (H) otherwise modify or amend any of the terms or conditions of the Offer in a manner that adversely affects, or reasonably could be expected to adversely affect, any holder of Shares.

(c) Expiration and Extension of the Offer. The Offer shall initially be scheduled to expire at one minute after 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time, on the Initial Expiration Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, but subject to the Parties’ respective termination rights under Section 8: (i) Purchaser shall, and Parent shall cause Purchaser to, extend the Offer from time to time for any period required by any Legal Requirement, or any interpretation or position of the SEC, its staff or the NYSE applicable to the Offer; (ii) if, as of the then-scheduled Expiration Date, any Offer Condition is not satisfied and has not been waived by Purchaser or Parent, Purchaser shall, and Parent shall cause Purchaser to, extend the Offer on one or more occasions for an additional period of up to ten (10) business days (calculated as set forth in Rule 14d-1(g)(3) under the Exchange Act) per extension to permit such Offer Condition to be satisfied, but if the sole then-unsatisfied Offer Condition is the Minimum Condition, Purchaser shall not be required to extend the Offer for more than two occasions in consecutive periods of ten (10) business days each (each such period to end at 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the last business day of such period) (or such other duration as may be agreed to by Parent and the Company); and (iii) if as of any scheduled Expiration Date (A) all of the Offer Conditions have been satisfied or waived (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Offer Acceptance Time, but which conditions would be capable of being satisfied as of such scheduled Expiration Date), (B) the full amount of the Debt Financing necessary to pay the Required Amount has not been funded and will not be available to be funded at the Offer Closing and at the Closing (other than as a result of a breach or failure to perform by Parent or Purchaser of any of their representations, warranties or covenants set forth in Sections 4.13 and 6.11) and (C) Parent and Purchaser irrevocably acknowledge and agree in writing that (1) the Company may terminate this Agreement pursuant to, and in accordance with Section 8.1(i) and receive the Parent Termination Fee pursuant to, and in accordance with Section 8.3 and (2) solely with respect to both (I) any payment of the Parent Termination Fee in accordance with subclause (1) of this Section 1.1(c)(iii)(C) and (II) Purchaser’s obligation, and Parent’s obligation to cause Purchaser, to consummate the Offer, including to accept and thereafter pay for all Shares validly tendered and not validly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer and in accordance with this Section 1.1, all Offer Conditions set forth in clauses (b)(ii)-(v), (c) (other than Fraud or Willful Breach in respect of such Offer Conditions following the date of delivery of such notice), (e) (in respect of clauses (b)(ii)-(v) and (c) of Annex I) and (h) of Annex I will be deemed to have been irrevocably satisfied or waived from and at all times after the initial extension of the Offer pursuant to this Section 1.1(c)(iii), Purchaser may extend the Offer for successive periods of up to five (5) business days per extension (each such period to end at 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the last business day of such period) (or such other duration as may be agreed to by Parent and the Company), the length of each such period to be determined by Parent in its sole discretion, in order to permit the funding of the full amount of the Debt Financing necessary to pay the Required Amount. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall Purchaser: (x) be required to extend the Offer beyond the Extension Deadline; or (y) be permitted to extend the Offer beyond the Extension Deadline without the prior written consent of the Company. Purchaser shall not terminate the Offer prior to the Extension Deadline unless this Agreement is validly terminated pursuant to Section 8. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to impair, limit or otherwise restrict the right of each of the Parties to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1.

(d) Termination of Offer. If this Agreement is validly terminated pursuant to Section 8, Purchaser shall (and Parent shall cause Purchaser to) immediately, irrevocably and unconditionally terminate the Offer, and Purchaser shall not acquire any Shares pursuant to the Offer. If the Offer is terminated or withdrawn by Purchaser, Purchaser shall immediately return, and shall cause any depository acting on behalf of Purchaser to return, in accordance with applicable Legal Requirements, all tendered Shares to the registered holders of such Shares.

(e) Offer Documents. As promptly as practicable on the date of commencement of the Offer (within the meaning of Rule 14d-2 under the Exchange Act), and following such commencement, Parent and Purchaser shall: (i) file with the SEC a tender offer statement on Schedule TO with respect to the Offer (together with all amendments and supplements to Schedule TO and including exhibits to Schedule TO, the “Schedule TO”) that will contain as an exhibit the Offer to Purchase and form of the related letter of transmittal and summary advertisement, if any, and other required or customary ancillary documents, in each case, with respect to the Offer; and (ii) cause the Offer to Purchase and related documents to be disseminated to holders of Shares. Parent and Purchaser shall cause the Schedule TO and all exhibits to the Schedule TO (together with all amendments and supplements, the “Offer Documents”), to (x) comply in all material respects with the Exchange Act and other applicable Legal Requirements and (y) not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated in the Offer Documents or necessary in order to make the statements in the Offer Documents, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no covenant is made by Parent or Purchaser with respect to information supplied by or on behalf of the Company for inclusion or incorporation by reference in the Offer Documents. Each of Parent, Purchaser and the Company shall respond promptly to any comments of the SEC or its staff and promptly correct 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. Parent and Purchaser shall take all steps necessary to cause the corrected Offer Documents to be filed with the SEC and to be disseminated to holders of Shares to the extent required by applicable Legal Requirements. The Company shall promptly furnish or otherwise make available to Parent and Purchaser, or Parent’s legal counsel, all information concerning the Company and the Company’s stockholders reasonably requested in writing by Parent or Purchaser in connection with any action contemplated by this Section 1.1(e). The Company hereby consents to the inclusion in the Offer Documents of the Company Board Recommendation (unless the Company Board shall have effected a Company Adverse Change Recommendation pursuant to Section 6.1(b)). Parent and Purchaser shall provide the Company and its counsel reasonable opportunity to review and comment on the Offer Documents (including any response to any comments (including oral comments) of the SEC or its staff with respect to the Offer Documents) prior to the filing of the Offer Documents with the SEC. Parent and Purchaser shall give reasonable and good faith consideration to any such comments made by the Company or its counsel. Parent and Purchaser shall provide the Company and its counsel with any comments Parent, Purchaser or their counsel may receive from the SEC or its staff with respect to the Offer Documents promptly after receipt of those comments (including oral comments). Parent and Purchaser shall provide the Company and its counsel a reasonable opportunity to participate in the formulation of any response to any such comments of the SEC or its staff, including a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on any such response. Parent and Purchaser shall give reasonable and good faith consideration to any such comments. Parent and

Purchaser shall also allow the Company and its counsel to participate in any discussions with the SEC or its staff regarding such comments. Subject to the foregoing, each of Parent and Purchaser shall respond promptly to any comments (including oral comments) of the SEC or its staff with respect to the Offer Documents or the Offer.

(f) Funds. Without limiting the generality of Section 9.11 and at or prior to the Offer Closing, Parent shall cause to be provided to the Depository Agent all of the funds necessary to purchase all Shares that Purchaser becomes obligated to purchase pursuant to the Offer. Parent shall also cause Purchaser to perform, on a timely basis, all of Purchaser’s obligations under this Agreement. Parent and Purchaser shall, and each of Parent and Purchaser shall use reasonable best efforts to ensure that all of their respective Affiliates shall, tender all Shares held by them into the Offer.

(g) Adjustments. If, between the date of this Agreement and the Offer Acceptance Time, the outstanding Shares are changed into a different number or class of shares by reason of any stock split, division or subdivision of shares, stock dividend, reverse stock split, exchange or consolidation of shares, reclassification, recapitalization or other similar transaction, then the Offer Price shall be appropriately adjusted to provide the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such change.

(h) Acceptance. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, including the satisfaction or waiver by Purchaser or Parent of each of the Offer Conditions (including any deemed satisfaction or waiver of the Offer Conditions pursuant to Section 1.1(c)(iii)(C)(2)), Purchaser shall (and Parent shall cause Purchaser to): (i) promptly (and in any event no later than 9:00 a.m. Eastern Time on the first business day (determined using Rule 14d-1(g)(3) under the Exchange Act)) after the Expiration Date irrevocably accept for payment all Shares validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) pursuant to the Offer (the time of such acceptance for payment, the “Offer Acceptance Time”); and (ii) promptly (and in any event no later than the second business day) after the Offer Acceptance Time pay for such Shares (the time of payment for such Shares, the “Offer Closing”) (subject to the provisions of Section 2.6, including any withholding of Taxes in accordance with Section 2.6(e)). With respect to Shares tendered pursuant to guaranteed delivery procedures that have not yet been delivered in settlement or satisfaction of such guarantee, Purchaser shall be under no obligation to make any payment for such Shares unless and until such Shares are delivered in settlement or satisfaction of such guarantee.

1.2. Company Actions.

(a) Schedule 14D-9. Concurrently with, or as promptly as practicable on the date of, the filing of the Schedule TO, the Company shall file with the SEC and disseminate to holders of Shares a Tender Offer Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9 (together with any exhibits, amendments or supplements to Schedule 14D-9, the “Schedule 14D-9”) that, subject to Section 6.1(b), includes the Company Board Recommendation. The Company shall cause the Schedule 14D-9 to: (i) comply in all material respects with the Exchange Act and other applicable Legal Requirements; and (ii) not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated in the Schedule 14D-9 or necessary in order to make the statements in the Schedule 14D-9, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no covenant is made by the Company with

respect to information supplied by or on behalf of Parent or Purchaser for inclusion or incorporation by reference in the Schedule 14D-9. Parent and Purchaser shall promptly furnish or otherwise make available to the Company, or the Company’s legal counsel, all information concerning Parent, Purchaser or the Guarantors reasonably requested in writing by the Company in connection with any action contemplated by this Section 1.2(a). The Company shall also include in the Schedule 14D-9 a notice of appraisal rights, in compliance with Section 262 of the DGCL, that includes a description of the procedures for the holders of Dissenting Shares to demand an appraisal of such Dissenting Shares in accordance with the DGCL. The Company Board shall set the record date for determining the Company’s stockholders entitled to receive such notice of appraisal rights as the same date as the Stockholder List Date and shall disseminate the Schedule 14D-9, including the notice of appraisal rights, to such stockholders. Each of Parent, Purchaser, the Guarantors and the Company shall respond promptly to any comments of the SEC or its staff and promptly correct 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. The Company shall take all steps necessary to cause the corrected Schedule 14D-9 to be filed with the SEC and to be disseminated to holders of Shares to the extent required by applicable Legal Requirements. Unless the Company Board has effected a Company Adverse Change Recommendation, the Company shall provide Parent and its counsel reasonable opportunity to review and comment on the Schedule 14D-9 and any amendment to the Schedule 14D-9 (including any response to any comments (including oral comments) of the SEC or its staff with respect to the Schedule 14D-9) prior to the filing of the Schedule 14D-9 with the SEC. The Company shall give reasonable and good faith consideration to any such comments made by Parent or its counsel. The Company shall provide Parent and its counsel with any comments the Company or its counsel may receive from the SEC or its staff with respect to the Schedule 14D-9 promptly after receipt of those comments (including oral comments). Unless the Company Board has effected a Company Adverse Change Recommendation, the Company shall provide Parent and its counsel a reasonable opportunity to participate in the formulation of any response to any such comments of the SEC or its staff, including a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on any such response. The Company shall give reasonable and good faith consideration to any such comments. The Company shall also allow Parent and its counsel to participate in any discussions with the SEC or its staff regarding such comments. Subject to the foregoing, the Company shall respond promptly to any comments (including oral comments) of the SEC or its staff with respect to the Schedule 14D-9.

(b) Stockholder Lists. From time to time as reasonably requested by Purchaser or its agents to disseminate or otherwise communicate the Offer and the Merger to holders of Shares, the Company shall (and shall instruct its transfer agent to) promptly furnish Purchaser with a list of its stockholders, mailing labels and any available listing or computer file containing the names and addresses of all record holders of Shares and lists of securities positions of Shares held in stock depositories, in each case, accurate and complete as of the most recent practicable date. The Company shall also provide to Purchaser additional assistance and other information as Purchaser may reasonably request in connection with the Offer. Parent and Purchaser shall, and shall use their reasonable best efforts to cause their representatives and agents to: (i) hold in confidence the information contained in any such labels, listings and files; (ii) use such information only in connection with the Offer and the Merger; (iii) if this Agreement shall be terminated, deliver to the Company (or destroy) all copies and any extracts or summaries from such

information then in their possession or control; and (iv) if requested by the Company, promptly certify to the Company in writing that all such material has been so returned or destroyed.

(iv) each share of the common stock, $0.01 par value per share, of Purchaser then outstanding shall be converted into one share of common stock, $0.01 par value per share, of the Surviving Corporation.

(b) If, between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time, the outstanding Shares are changed into a different number or class of shares by reason of any stock split, division or subdivision of shares, stock dividend, reverse stock split, exchange or consolidation of shares, reclassification, recapitalization or other similar transaction, then the Merger Consideration shall be appropriately adjusted to provide the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such change.

(c) At the Effective Time, all holders of Shares that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall cease to have any rights as stockholders of the Company other than, subject to Section 2.7, the right to receive the Merger Consideration as contemplated by this Section 2.5.

Prior to or at the Offer Closing, Parent shall deposit, or shall cause to be deposited, with the Depository Agent cash sufficient to make payment of the cash consideration payable pursuant to Section 1.1 at the Offer Closing and with the Paying Agent cash sufficient to make payment of the cash consideration payable pursuant to Section 2.5 (together, the “Payment Fund”). The Payment Fund shall not be used for any other purpose. The Payment Fund shall be invested by the Paying Agent as directed by the Surviving Corporation, subject to the following restrictions. Such investments shall be in obligations of or guaranteed by the United States of America in commercial paper obligations rated A-1 or P-1 or better by Xxxxx’x Investors Service, Inc. or Standard & Poor’s Corporation, respectively, in certificates of deposit, bank repurchase agreements or banker’s acceptances of commercial banks with capital exceeding $1 billion, or in money market funds having a rating in the highest investment category granted by a recognized credit rating agency at the time of acquisition or a combination of the foregoing. In no event shall any such instrument have a maturity exceeding three (3) months. Earnings from such investments shall be the sole and exclusive property of Parent, and no such investment gain or loss shall affect the amounts payable to holders of Shares. If for any reason (including losses) the cash in the Payment Fund shall be insufficient to fully satisfy all of the payment obligations pursuant Section 1.1 and Section 2.5, upon receipt by Parent of notice of such deficiency from the Paying Agent, Parent or Purchaser shall promptly deposit cash into the Payment Fund in an amount which is equal to the deficiency in the amount of cash required to fully satisfy such payment obligations.

(b) Promptly (but in no event later than three (3) business days) after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall cause to be mailed to each Person who was, at the Effective Time, a holder of record of the Shares entitled to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.5, a form of letter of transmittal. The letter of transmittal shall (i) be in reasonable and customary form, (ii) specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon proper delivery of the applicable Certificates (or effective affidavits of loss in lieu of such Certificates pursuant to Section 2.6(f)) to the Paying Agent and (iii) request from each such Person a copy of an executed IRS Form W-9 or relevant IRS Form W-8, as applicable, and a certificate of non-foreign person status (conforming to the requirements set forth in Treasury Regulations Section 1.1445-2) if applicable. The letter of transmittal shall also contain instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates or Book-Entry Shares. Upon surrender to the Paying Agent of the applicable Certificates (or effective affidavits of loss in lieu of such Certificates pursuant to Section 2.6(f)) or Book-Entry Shares, together with such letter of transmittal, duly completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions to such letter of transmittal, and such other documents as may be reasonably required pursuant to such instructions, the holder of such Certificates or Book-Entry Shares shall be entitled to receive in exchange for such Certificates or Book-Entry Shares the Merger Consideration for each Share formerly evidenced by such Certificates or Book-Entry Shares. Such Certificates and Book-Entry Shares shall then be cancelled. No interest shall accrue or be paid on the Merger Consideration

payable upon the surrender of any Certificates or Book-Entry Shares. If the payment of any Merger Consideration is to be made to a Person other than the Person in whose name the surrendered Certificates formerly evidencing the Shares is registered on the stock transfer books of the Company, it shall be a condition of payment that the Certificate so surrendered shall be endorsed properly or otherwise be in proper form for transfer. It shall be a further condition of payment that the Person requesting such payment shall: (i) have paid all 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 surrendered; or (ii) have established to the reasonable satisfaction of the Surviving Corporation that such Taxes either have been paid or are not applicable. Payment of the applicable 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, from and after the Effective Time, to represent only the right, subject to Section 2.7, to receive the Merger Consideration in cash as contemplated by this Agreement, without interest thereon.

(c) At any time following twelve (12) months after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall be entitled to require the Paying Agent to deliver to it any funds which had been made available to the Paying Agent and not disbursed to holders of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares, including all interest and other income received by the Paying Agent in respect of all funds made available to it. Upon any such delivery (but subject to abandoned property, escheat and other similar Legal Requirements), holders shall be entitled to look to the Surviving Corporation only as general creditors of the Surviving Corporation with respect to the Merger Consideration that may be payable upon due surrender of the Certificates or Book-Entry Shares held by them in compliance with the procedures in Section 2.6(b), without interest and subject to any withholding of Taxes required by applicable Legal Requirements in accordance with Section 2.6(e). Neither the Surviving Corporation nor the Paying Agent shall be liable to any holder of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares for the Merger Consideration delivered in respect of such Shares to a public official pursuant to any abandoned property, escheat or other similar Legal Requirements. To the extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, any amounts remaining unclaimed by such holders immediately prior to the time at which such amounts would otherwise escheat to or become property of any Governmental Body shall become the property of the Surviving Corporation or its designee, free and clear of all claims or interest of any Person previously entitled to such unclaimed amounts.

(d) At the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of the Company with respect to the Shares shall be closed and following the Effective Time there shall be no further registration of transfers of Shares on the records of the Company. If, after the Effective Time, any Certificates formerly representing Shares are presented to the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent for any reason, such Certificates shall be canceled and exchanged for the Merger Consideration as provided in this Section 2.6. From and after the Effective Time, the holders of the Shares outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall cease to have any rights with respect to such Shares except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or by applicable Legal Requirements.

(e) Each of the Withholding Agents shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any amounts payable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as it is required by any Legal Requirement to deduct and withhold with respect to Taxes. Each Withholding Agent shall take all

action that may be necessary to ensure that any such amounts so withheld are promptly and properly remitted to the appropriate Governmental Body. To the extent that amounts are so withheld and timely remitted to the appropriate Governmental Body, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.

(f) If any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, then upon the making of an affidavit by the holder of the Shares formerly represented by that Certificate, or by a representative of that holder, of such loss, theft or destruction, the Paying Agent shall pay (less any amounts entitled to be deducted or withheld pursuant to Section 2.6(e)), in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate, the applicable Merger Consideration to be paid in respect of the Shares formerly represented by such Certificate, as contemplated by this Section 2. As a condition of such payment and in its sole discretion, the Surviving Corporation may require the attesting holder to post a bond in such reasonable and customary amount as Parent may direct (not to exceed the Merger Consideration payable with respect to the Shares formerly represented by such Certificate) to indemnify against any claim that might be brought with respect to the Certificate upon which payment was made.

2.7. Dissenters’ Rights. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Dissenting Shares shall not be converted into the right to receive Merger Consideration, but shall, by virtue of the Merger, be entitled to only such consideration as shall be determined pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL. If any holder of Shares shall have failed to perfect or shall have waived, effectively withdrawn or otherwise lost such holder’s right to appraisal under the DGCL, such holder’s Shares shall be deemed to have been converted as of the Effective Time into the right to receive the Merger Consideration as provided in Section 2.5(a)(iii) (less any amounts entitled to be deducted or withheld pursuant to Section 2.6(e)), and such Shares shall not be deemed to be Dissenting Shares. The Company shall deliver prompt notice to Parent of any demands received by the Company for appraisal of any Shares and shall provide Parent a reasonable opportunity to participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demands. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall not, without the prior written consent of Parent, in its sole and absolute discretion, make any payment with respect to, or settle or offer to settle, any such demands, or agree to do any of the foregoing. Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall not, except with the prior written consent of the Company, in its sole and absolute discretion, require the Company to make any payment with respect to any such demands.

2.8. Treatment of Company Options, Company Restricted Stock Awards and Company Cash Awards.

(a) Each Company Option that is outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time shall accelerate and become fully vested and exercisable effective immediately prior to, and contingent upon, the Effective Time. As of the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any further action on the part of the holders of such Company Options, Parent, Purchaser or the Company, each Company Option that is then outstanding and unexercised shall be cancelled and converted into the right to receive cash in an amount equal to the product of (i) the total number of Shares subject to such Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time, multiplied by (ii) the excess, if any, of (A) the Merger Consideration over (B) the exercise price payable per Share under such Company Option, which amount shall be paid in accordance with

this Section 2.8(a). For the avoidance of doubt, any Company Option that has an exercise price per Share that is greater than or equal to the Merger Consideration shall be cancelled at the Effective Time for no consideration or payment. As of the Effective Time, all Company Options shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically terminate and cease to exist, and each holder of a Company Option shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the payment contemplated by this Section 2.8 in respect thereof. As soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time (but no later than the later of (x) five (5) business days after the Effective Time and (y) the first payroll date after the Effective Time), the Surviving Corporation shall pay to the holders of Company Options the amounts provided for in this Section 2.8(a) through the Surviving Corporation’s payroll (subject to any required Tax withholdings).

(b) Each Share subject to a Company Restricted Stock Award that is outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be cancelled and converted at the Effective Time into a right to receive an amount equal to the Merger Consideration (the “Restricted Stock Consideration”). Fifty percent (50%) of the Restricted Stock Consideration shall be payable as of the Effective Time, and, unless otherwise agreed by the holder and Parent, the remaining fifty percent (50%) of the Restricted Stock Consideration shall be payable as and when such Share would have vested pursuant to the terms of the applicable Company Restricted Stock Award, subject to satisfaction of such vesting terms. As of the Effective Time, all Shares subject to a Company Restricted Stock Award shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically terminate and cease to exist, and each holder of a Company Stock Award shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the payments contemplated by this Section 2.8 in respect thereof. As soon as reasonably practicable after the date as of which the Restricted Stock Consideration is payable (but no later than the later of (i) five (5) business days after such date or (ii) the first payroll date after such date), the Surviving Corporation shall pay to the holders of Company Restricted Stock Awards the amounts provided for in this Sections 2.8(b) through the Surviving Corporation’s payroll (subject to any required Tax withholdings).

(c) Each Company Cash Award that is outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time shall remain outstanding and be payable in accordance with its terms, provided that payment of fifty percent (50%) of each payment installment of such Company Cash Award shall be payable as soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time (but no later than the later of (i) five (5) business days after such date or (ii) the first payroll date after such date) through the Surviving Corporation’s payroll (subject to any required Tax withholdings).

(d) Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall take all actions (including obtaining any necessary determinations or resolutions of the Company Board or a committee of the Company Board) that may be necessary to effectuate the provisions of this Section 2.8.

2.9. Further Action. If, at any time after the Effective Time, any further action is reasonably determined by Parent to be necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement or to vest the Surviving Corporation with full right, title and possession of and to all rights and property of Purchaser and the Company, the officers and directors of the Surviving Corporation and Parent shall be fully authorized (in the name of Purchaser, in the name of the Company and otherwise) to take such action.

As of their respective dates, or if revised, amended, modified or superseded (prior to the date of this Agreement) by a later filed Company SEC Document, as of the date of the last such amendment or superseding filing, the Company SEC Documents complied in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act and the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act, applicable to those Company SEC Documents. Except to the extent that information contained in a Company SEC Document has been revised, amended, modified or superseded (prior to the date of this Agreement) by a later filed Company SEC Document, none of the Company SEC Documents when filed or furnished contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated in such Company SEC Document or necessary in order to make the statements in such Company SEC Document, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

(b) The consolidated financial statements (including any related notes and schedules) contained or incorporated by reference in the Company SEC Documents were prepared

in accordance with GAAP applied on a consistent basis throughout the periods covered (except as may be indicated in the notes to such financial statements or as permitted by Regulation S-X, or, in the case of unaudited financial statements, as permitted by Form 10-Q, Form 8-K or any successor form under the Exchange Act). Such consolidated financial statements fairly present, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company and its consolidated Subsidiaries as of the respective dates of such financial statements and the results of operations and cash flows of the Company and its consolidated Subsidiaries for the periods presented in such financial statements (subject, in the case of the unaudited financial statements, to normal and recurring year-end adjustments).

Since the Applicable Date, neither the Company nor, to the knowledge of the Company, the Company’s independent registered accountant has identified or been made aware of: (1) any significant deficiency or material weakness in the design or operation of internal control over financial reporting utilized by the Company which is reasonably likely to adversely affect the Company’s ability to record, process, summarize and report financial information; or (2) any fraud, whether or not material, that involves the management or other employees of the Acquired Corporations who have a significant role in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

(d) The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures as defined in and required by Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act that are reasonably designed to ensure that: (i) all information required to be disclosed in the Company’s reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC; and (ii) all such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure and to enable each of the principal executive officer of the Company and the principal financial officer of the Company to make the certifications required under the Exchange Act with respect to such reports.

(f) The Company Disclosure Documents, including the Schedule 14D-9, and any amendments or supplements to the Company Disclosure Documents, when filed, distributed or otherwise disseminated to the Company’s stockholders, as applicable, will comply as to form in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Exchange Act. At the time any Company Disclosure Documents are filed with the SEC or any supplement or amendment to such Company Disclosure Documents are filed with the SEC and at the time such Company Disclosure Documents or any supplements or amendments to such Company Disclosure Documents are first distributed or otherwise disseminated to the Company’s stockholders, such Company Disclosure Documents will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements made in such Company Disclosure Documents, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

(g) The information with respect to the Company that the Company furnishes to Parent or Purchaser in writing specifically for use in the Schedule TO and the Offer Documents, at the time of the filing of the Schedule TO and at the time of any distribution or dissemination of the Offer Documents, will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements made in the Schedule TO or such Offer Documents, as applicable, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

(h) Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, the Company makes no representation or warranty with respect to statements made or incorporated by reference in the Company Disclosure Documents directly or indirectly based on information supplied by or on behalf of Parent, Purchaser, Red Holdings or Green Holdings for inclusion or incorporation by reference in the Company Disclosure Documents.

Assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by the Company, this Agreement constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of Parent and Purchaser, and no other corporate proceedings on the part of Parent or Purchaser are necessary to authorize the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the consummation of the Transactions (subject to the adoption of this Agreement by Parent as the sole stockholder of Purchaser, which shall occur immediately following the execution and delivery of this Agreement). Assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by the Company, this Agreement is enforceable against Parent and Purchaser in accordance with its terms, except as such enforcement may be subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditor’s rights, and by general equitable principles.

No vote of Parent’s stockholders is necessary to approve this Agreement or any of the Transactions.

4.5. Disclosure. None of the Offer Documents will, at the time such document is filed with the SEC, at any time it is amended or supplemented or at the time it is first published, sent or given to the Company’s stockholders, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated in the Offer Documents or necessary in order to make the statements in the Offer Documents, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, neither Parent nor Purchaser makes any representation or warranty with respect to statements made or incorporated by reference in the Offer Documents directly or indirectly based on information supplied by or on behalf of the Company for inclusion or incorporation by reference in the Offer Documents.

To the knowledge of Parent or Purchaser, neither Parent nor Purchaser is subject to any continuing order of, consent decree, settlement agreement or similar written agreement with, or continuing investigation by, any Governmental Body, or any order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree, determination or award of any Governmental Body, except as have not had and would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Parent Material Adverse Effect.

4.7. Funds. As of the date of this Agreement, assuming (a) the accuracy in all material respects of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3 and (b) the performance in all material respects by the Acquired Corporations of the covenants and agreements contained in Section 5.2, the proceeds contemplated by the Financing Commitments (after netting out applicable fees, expenses, original issue discount and similar premiums and charges and after giving effect to the maximum amount of “flex” (including original issue discount flex) provided under the Debt Commitment Letters and the Redacted Fee Letters), will in the aggregate be sufficient for Parent and Purchaser to pay all amounts required to be paid by Parent or Purchaser pursuant to Section 1 and Section 2 and any other amounts required to be paid by Parent or

Purchaser in connection with the consummation of the Transactions, including the payment of all related fees and expenses (such amount collectively, the “Required Amount”).

None of Parent, Purchaser, any Investor (as defined in the Equity Financing Commitment) or any Person who controls such Investor owns any Shares.

4.10. Non-Reliance; Acknowledgement by Parent and Purchaser.

(a) Neither Parent nor Purchaser is relying or has relied on any of the information, materials or data referred to in Section 4.10(b) or any representations or warranties whatsoever regarding the subject matter of this Agreement, express or implied, except for the representations and warranties in Section 3 and in the Tender and Support Agreement. Each of Parent and Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that (i) the representations and warranties of the Company in Section 3 constitute the sole and exclusive representations and warranties of the Acquired Corporations in connection with the Transactions and (ii) neither Parent nor Purchaser has relied upon, and the Acquired Corporations specifically disclaim, any other representations and warranties of any kind or nature whether express, implied or statutory made by or on behalf of the Acquired Corporations.

(b) In entering into this Agreement, Parent and Purchaser have relied solely upon their own investigation and analysis and the representations and warranties contained in Section 3 and in the Tender and Support Agreement. Parent and Purchaser have been given access to and an opportunity to examine such documents, materials and information concerning the Acquired Corporations as Parent and Purchaser have deemed necessary or advisable in order to reach an informed decision as to the decision to enter into this Agreement and consummate the Transactions. In connection with such due diligence investigation of the Acquired Corporations by Parent and Purchaser and their respective Affiliates, stockholders and Representatives, Parent and Purchaser and their respective Affiliates, stockholders and Representatives have received or been provided access to and may continue to receive or be provided access to (including in any “data rooms”) after the date of this Agreement from the Company, the other Acquired Corporations, and their respective Affiliates, stockholders and Representatives, certain estimates, projections, forecasts and other forward-looking information, as well as certain business plan information, regarding the Acquired Corporations and their respective businesses and operations.

Parent and Purchaser acknowledge that there are uncertainties inherent in attempting to make such estimates, projections, forecasts and other forward-looking statements, as well as in such business plans, and that Parent and Purchaser will have no claim against the Acquired Corporations, or any of their respective Affiliates, stockholders or Representatives, or any other Person with respect to such matters unless any such information is expressly included in a representation or warranty contained in Section 3. Each of Parent and Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that neither the Acquired Corporations nor any of their respective Affiliates, stockholders or Representatives, nor any other Person, has made or is making any express or implied representation or warranty with respect to such estimates, projections, forecasts, forward-looking statements or business plans unless any such information is expressly included in a representation or warranty contained in Section 3.

4.11. Brokers and Other Advisors.

4.12. Limited Guarantee. Concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, Parent has delivered to the Company the duly executed limited guarantee of the Guarantors, dated as of the date of this Agreement, in favor of the Company in respect of Parent’s obligation to pay the Parent Termination Fee and the other obligations specified therein, up to the aggregate amount set forth therein (the “Limited Guarantee”). The Limited Guarantee is (a) a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Guarantors, (b) enforceable against the Guarantors in accordance with its terms, except as such enforcement may be subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors’ rights, and by general equitable principles, and (c) in full force and effect. No event has occurred which, with or without notice, lapse of time or both, would or would reasonably be expected to constitute a default or breach on the part of the Guarantors under the Limited Guarantee.

4.13. Financing.

(a) Parent and Purchaser have delivered to the Company true, correct, complete and unredacted copies of (i) executed debt commitment letters, including all annexes, exhibits, schedules and other attachments thereto (the “Red Debt Commitment Letters”), pursuant to which the lenders party thereto have agreed to provide debt financing in the amounts set forth therein, (ii) an executed debt commitment letter, including all annexes, exhibits, schedules and other attachments thereto (the “Green Debt Commitment Letter” and, together with the Red Debt Commitment Letters, the “Debt Commitment Letters”), pursuant to which the lenders party thereto have agreed to provide debt financing in the amounts set forth therein (the debt financing contemplated by the Red Debt Commitment Letters and the Green Debt Commitment Letter, the “Debt Financing”), and (iii) an executed equity commitment letter from the Guarantors, including all annexes, exhibits, schedules and other attachments thereto (the “Equity Financing Commitment” and, together with the Debt Commitment Letters, the “Financing Commitments”), pursuant to which the Guarantors have committed to provide equity financing to Parent in an amount set forth therein (the “Equity Financing” and, together with the Debt Financing, the

“Financing”). Parent and Purchaser have also delivered to the Company true, correct and complete copies of the fee letters relating to the Debt Financing, in which the only redactions are the fee amounts, “flex” terms and other economic terms customarily redacted pursuant to merger agreements of this type, and such redactions do not relate to any terms that would be reasonably likely to adversely affect the conditionality, enforceability, availability or termination of the applicable Debt Commitment Letter or reduce the aggregate principal amount of the Debt Financing below the amount required to pay the Required Amount (collectively, the “Redacted Fee Letters”).

(b) As of the date of this Agreement, none of the Financing Commitments (i) have been withdrawn, terminated or rescinded in any respect or (ii) have been amended or modified, and, to the knowledge of each of Parent and Purchaser, the respective commitments contained therein have not been withdrawn or rescinded, nor, to the knowledge of each of Parent and Purchaser, is any such amendment, modification, withdrawal or rescission currently contemplated other than any amendment or modification to any Debt Commitment Letter solely to add lenders, lead arrangers, bookrunners, syndication agents or similar entities (or titles with respect to such entities) who had not executed such Debt Commitment Letter as of the date of this Agreement. As of the date of this Agreement, the Financing Commitments are (i) in full force and effect and constitute the legal, valid and binding obligation of Parent, in the case of the Equity Financing Commitment, Red Holdings, in the case of the Red Debt Commitment Letters, and Green Holdings, in the case of the Green Debt Commitment Letter, and, to the knowledge of each of Parent and Purchaser, the other parties thereto, and (ii) enforceable in accordance with their respective terms against Parent, in the case of the Equity Financing Commitment, Red Holdings, in the case of the Red Debt Commitment Letters, and Green Holdings, in the case of the Green Debt Commitment Letter, and, to the knowledge of each of Parent and Purchaser, each of the other parties thereto, in each case, except to the extent enforcement may be subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and/or other laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and by general equitable principles (regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).

(c) There are no conditions precedent related to the funding or investing, as applicable, of the amount of the Financing required to pay the Required Amount, other than as expressly set forth in the Financing Commitments and the unredacted portions of the Redacted Fee Letters, each in the form delivered. Other than the Financing Commitments and the unredacted portions of the Redacted Fee Letters, there are no other Contracts, arrangements or side letters to which Purchaser or any of its Affiliates is a party related to the funding or investing, as applicable, of the amount of the Financing required to pay the Required Amount that would (i) impair the enforceability of any of the Financing Commitments, (ii) reduce the aggregate amount of any portion of the Financing such that the aggregate amount of the Financing would be below the amount required to pay the Required Amount, (iii) impose new or additional conditions precedent to the Financing, (iv) otherwise adversely modify any of the conditions precedent to the Financing or (v) reasonably be expected to prevent, impair or delay the consummation of the Financing.

(d) As of the date of this Agreement, (i) no event has occurred that (with or without notice or lapse of time, or both) would constitute a breach or default of Parent, Purchaser, Red Holdings or Green Holdings or, to the knowledge of each of Parent and Purchaser, any other

parties thereto under the Financing Commitments or would otherwise be reasonably likely to result in any portion of the Financing necessary to pay the Required Amount to be unavailable, other than any such default or breach that has been irrevocably waived by the lenders providing the Debt Financing or otherwise cured in a timely manner by Parent, Purchaser, Red Holdings and/or Green Holdings, as applicable, to the satisfaction of such lenders, (ii) neither Parent nor Purchaser is aware of any fact, event or other occurrence that makes any of the representations or warranties of each of Parent, Purchaser, Red Holdings and Green Holdings in any of the Financing Commitments inaccurate in any material respect, and (iii) assuming satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Annex I, neither Parent nor Purchaser has any reason to believe that any of the conditions precedent set forth in the Financing Commitments will fail to be timely satisfied or that the Required Amount will not be available at the Offer Closing.

(e) Purchaser has fully paid, or caused to be paid, any and all commitment fees or other fees required by the terms of the Financing Commitments to be paid on or before the date of this Agreement and will continue to pay in full, or cause to be paid, any such amounts required to be paid pursuant to the terms of the Financing Commitments as and when they become due and payable on or prior to the Closing Date.

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that its obligations to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby are not contingent upon its ability to obtain any third party financing.

(b) If, at any time on or after the date of this Agreement and prior to the Offer Acceptance Time, any Acquired Corporation or any of their Representatives receives an unsolicited bona fide Acquisition Proposal from any Person or group of Persons, which Acquisition Proposal was made or renewed on or after the date of this Agreement and did not result from any breach in any material respect of this Section 5.3: (i) the Company and its Representatives may contact such Person or group of Persons or their Representatives solely to clarify the terms and conditions of such Acquisition Proposal; and (ii) if the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel and financial advisors, that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes or would reasonably be expected to lead to a Superior Offer, and, after consultation with outside legal counsel, that the failure to take the following actions would be inconsistent with the fiduciary duties of the Company Board to the Company’s stockholders under applicable Legal Requirements, then the Company and its Representatives may (x) furnish, pursuant to an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement, information (including non-public information, but excluding any non-public information of or about any Parent Related Party) with respect to the Acquired Corporations to the Person or group of Persons that has made such Acquisition Proposal (and their respective Representatives), it being agreed that the Company shall concurrently provide to Parent (or give Parent access to) any non-public information

concerning the Acquired Corporations that is provided to (or for which access is provided to) any such Person and which was not previously provided or made available to Parent or its Representatives and (y) engage in or otherwise participate in discussions or negotiations with the Person or group of Persons and their respective Representatives making such Acquisition Proposal. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company shall be permitted to modify, waive, amend or release any existing standstill obligations owed by any Person to the Acquired Corporations that prohibit such Person from making, or requesting a modification, waiver or amendment to make, an Acquisition Proposal from and after the date of this Agreement.

(c) Following the date of this Agreement, the Company shall: (i) promptly (and in any event within one (1) business day after knowledge of receipt by an executive officer or director of the Company) notify Parent if any inquiries, proposals or offers with respect to an Acquisition Proposal are received by any Acquired Corporation; (ii) provide to Parent a summary of the material terms and conditions of any Acquisition Proposal (including a copy thereof and any financing commitment papers submitted therewith, if such Acquisition Proposal is in writing), and the identity of the Person or group of Persons making such Acquisition Proposal; and (iii) keep Parent reasonably informed of any material developments, discussions or negotiations regarding any Acquisition Proposal on a reasonably prompt basis (and the Company shall as promptly as practicable after the receipt thereof (and in any event within one (1) business day) provide Parent with copies of any written materials relating to such Acquisition Proposal or any material change to the financial or other material terms and conditions thereof).

(d) Nothing in this Section 5.3 or elsewhere in this Agreement shall prohibit the Company from: (i) taking and disclosing to the stockholders of the Company a position contemplated by Rule 14e-2(a), Rule 14d-9 or Item 1012(a) of Regulation M-A promulgated under the Exchange Act; (ii) making any “stop, look and listen” communication pursuant to Rule 14d-9(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act (it being understood that any “stop, look or listen” communication that contains only the information set forth in Rule 14d-9(f) shall not be deemed a Company Adverse Change Recommendation or be deemed to have the substantive effect of withdrawing or adversely modifying the Company Board Recommendation) or (iii) making any disclosure to the stockholders of the Company (A) that is required by applicable Legal Requirements or (B) if the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with the Company’s outside legal counsel, that the failure of the Company Board to make such disclosure would be inconsistent with the fiduciary duties of the Company Board to the Company’s stockholders under applicable Legal Requirements; provided, however, that this Section 5.3(d) shall not be deemed to permit the Company or the Company Board or any committee thereof to effect a Company Adverse Change Recommendation.

SECTION 6. ADDITIONAL COVENANTS OF THE PARTIES

6.1. Company Board Recommendation.

(a) Subject to Section 6.1(b), the Company consents to the inclusion of the Company Board Recommendation in the Offer Documents. Subject to Section 6.1(b), during the Pre-Closing Period, neither the Company Board nor any committee of the Company Board shall: (i) (A) withdraw, qualify, modify or amend, or publicly propose to withdraw, qualify, modify or amend, the Company Board Recommendation, (B) approve, endorse, recommend or declare

advisable, or publicly propose to approve, endorse, recommend or declare advisable, any Acquisition Proposal, or (C) fail to include the Company Board Recommendation in the Schedule 14D-9 or, if any Acquisition Proposal has been made public or the Company Board has made a disclosure to the stockholders of the Company pursuant to Section 5.3(d), fail to reaffirm the Company Board Recommendation upon request of Parent within the earlier of three (3) business days prior to the then-scheduled Expiration Date or ten (10) business days after Parent requests in writing such reaffirmation with respect to such Acquisition Proposal (provided, however, that Parent may make such request only once with respect to such Acquisition Proposal unless (1) such Acquisition Proposal is subsequently publicly modified in any material respect, or (2) the Company subsequently makes a disclosure pursuant to Section 5.3(d) with respect to such Acquisition Proposal, in which case Parent may make such request once each time such modification or disclosure is made) (any action described in this clause (i) being referred to as a “Company Adverse Change Recommendation”); or (ii) approve, endorse, recommend or declare advisable, or propose to approve, endorse, recommend or declare advisable, or allow the Company to execute or enter into any Contract with respect to any Acquisition Proposal (other than an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement entered into as contemplated by Section 5.3(b)).

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, at any time prior to the Offer Acceptance Time:

(i) if the Company has received a bona fide written Acquisition Proposal that did not result from any breach in any material respect of Section 5.3 from any Person that has not been withdrawn and, after consultation with outside legal counsel and financial advisors, the Company Board shall have determined, in good faith, that such Acquisition Proposal is a Superior Offer, then: (x) the Company Board may make a Company Adverse Change Recommendation; or (y) the Company may terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(e) to enter into a Specified Agreement with respect to such Superior Offer. As a condition of electing either option (x) or (y) of the preceding sentence: (A) the Company Board shall have determined in good faith, after consultation with the Company’s outside legal counsel, that the failure to elect such option would be inconsistent with the fiduciary duties of the Company Board to the Company’s stockholders under applicable Legal Requirements; (B) the Company shall have given Parent written notice of its intention to make a Company Adverse Change Recommendation or terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(e) at least four (4) business days prior to making any such Company Adverse Change Recommendation or termination (a “Determination Notice”) (which notice shall not itself constitute a Company Adverse Change Recommendation or termination); (C) the Company shall have provided to Parent a summary of the material terms and conditions of the Acquisition Proposal in accordance with Section 5.3(c) and the basis for determining that such Acquisition Proposal would constitute a Superior Offer; (D) the Company shall have provided Parent four (4) business days after the Determination Notice to propose revisions in writing to the terms of this Agreement, the Financing Commitments and the Limited Guarantee or make another proposal (which revisions or other proposal, if accepted by the Company, would be legally binding) so that such Acquisition Proposal would cease to constitute a Superior Offer and would no longer necessitate a Company Adverse Change Recommendation; (E) if requested by Parent, the Acquired Corporations shall have made their Representatives available to discuss with Parent’s Representatives any such revisions or other proposal during such four (4) business day period and (F) after giving effect to such revisions or proposals made by

Parent, if any, after consultation with outside legal counsel and financial advisors, the Company Board shall have determined, in good faith, that such Acquisition Proposal continues to constitute a Superior Offer and that, after consultation with outside legal counsel, the failure to make the Company Adverse Change Recommendation or terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(e) would continue to be inconsistent with the fiduciary duties of the Company Board to the Company’s stockholders under applicable Legal Requirements. The provisions of this Section 6.1(b)(i) shall also apply to any material amendment to any Acquisition Proposal and require a new Determination Notice, except that the references to four (4) business days shall be deemed to be references to two (2) business days; and

(ii) other than in connection with an Acquisition Proposal, the Company Board may make a Company Adverse Change Recommendation in response to a Change in Circumstance if: (A) the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with the Company’s outside legal counsel, that the failure to do so would be inconsistent with the fiduciary duties of the Company Board to the Company’s stockholders under applicable Legal Requirements; (B) the Company shall have given Parent a Determination Notice (which notice shall not itself constitute a Company Adverse Change Recommendation) at least four (4) business days prior to making any such Company Adverse Change Recommendation; (C) the Company shall have specified the Change in Circumstance in reasonable detail; (D) the Company shall have provided Parent four (4) business days after the Determination Notice to propose revisions in writing to the terms of this Agreement, the Financing Commitments and the Limited Guarantee or make another proposal (which revisions or other proposal, if accepted by the Company, would be legally binding) so that such Change in Circumstance would no longer necessitate a Company Adverse Change Recommendation; (E) if requested by Parent, the Acquired Corporations shall have made their Representatives available to discuss with Parent’s Representatives any such proposed revisions or other proposal during such four (4) business day period and (F) after giving effect to the revisions or other proposals made by Parent, if any, after consultation with outside legal counsel, the Company Board shall have determined, in good faith, that the failure to make the Company Adverse Change Recommendation in response to such Change in Circumstance would continue to be inconsistent with the fiduciary duties of the Company Board to the Company’s stockholders under applicable Legal Requirements. The provisions of this Section 6.1(b)(ii) shall also apply to any material change to the facts and circumstances relating to such Change in Circumstance and require a new Determination Notice, except that the references to four (4) business days shall be deemed to be references to two (2) business days.

6.2. Filings, Consents and Approvals.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, each of the Parties shall use its respective reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, to file, or cause to be filed, all documents and to do, or cause to be done, and to assist and cooperate with the other Parties in doing, all things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable Antitrust Laws to consummate and make effective the Transactions as soon as reasonably practicable, and in any event prior to the End Date. Such actions shall include: (i) the obtaining of all necessary actions or nonactions, waivers, consents, clearances, decisions, declarations, approvals and, expirations or terminations of waiting periods from Governmental Bodies and the making of all necessary registrations and filings; (ii) the taking of all steps as may be necessary to obtain any

such consent, decision, declaration, approval, clearance or waiver, or expiration or termination of a waiting period by or from, or to avoid an action or proceeding by, any Governmental Body in connection with any Antitrust Law; (iii) the obtaining of all necessary consents, authorizations, approvals or waivers from third parties; and (iv) the execution and delivery of any additional instruments necessary to consummate the Transactions.

(b) By way of illustration and not limitation, the Parties shall promptly (or shall cause their respective Subsidiaries to): (i) take all actions and steps requested or required by any Governmental Body as a condition to granting any consent, permit, authorization, waiver, clearance and approvals, and to cause the prompt expiration or termination of any applicable waiting period and to resolve objections, if any, as the FTC, the DOJ, or other Governmental Bodies of any other jurisdiction for which consents, permits, authorizations, waivers, clearances, approvals and expirations or terminations of waiting periods are sought with respect to the Transactions; (ii) obtain such consents, permits, authorizations, waivers, clearances, approvals or termination of the waiting period under the HSR Act or other Antitrust Laws, and to avoid the commencement of a lawsuit by the FTC, the DOJ or other Governmental Bodies under Antitrust Laws; and (iii) take all actions and steps to avoid the entry of, or to effect the dissolution of, any injunction, temporary restraining order or other order in any suit or proceeding which would otherwise have the effect of preventing the Closing or materially delaying the Offer Acceptance Time or the Closing or delaying the Offer Acceptance Time beyond the End Date. Such actions and steps shall include: (x) negotiating, committing to and effecting, by consent decree, hold separate order or otherwise, the sale, lease, license, divestiture or disposition of any assets, rights, product lines, or businesses of Parent, Purchaser, the Company or any of their respective Subsidiaries; and (y) otherwise taking or committing to take any actions with respect to the businesses, product lines or assets of Parent, Purchaser, the Company or any of their respective Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company and the Acquired Corporations shall be required to take or commit to take any such action, or agree to any such condition or restriction, only if such action, commitment, agreement, condition or restriction is binding on the Company and the Acquired Corporations solely if the Closing occurs. The Parties shall defend through litigation on the merits any claim asserted in court by any party under Antitrust Laws in order to avoid entry of, or to have vacated or terminated, any decree, order or judgment (whether temporary, preliminary or permanent) that could restrain, delay, or prevent the Closing by the End Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any such litigation shall in no way limit the obligation of Purchaser and Parent to take all actions and steps to eliminate each and every impediment identified in this Agreement.

(c) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Company shall (and shall cause its Subsidiaries, if applicable, to), on the one hand, and Parent and Purchaser shall (and shall procure its controlling Persons, if applicable, to), on the other hand: (i) promptly, but in no event later than seven (7) business days after the date of this Agreement, make, or have made, an appropriate filing of all Notification and Report forms as required by the HSR Act with respect to the Transactions; (ii) as soon as reasonably practicable, after the date of this Agreement, make, or have made, all other filings, notifications or other consents as may be required to be made or obtained under foreign Antitrust Laws in those jurisdictions identified in Schedule 6.2(c); and (iii) cooperate with each other in determining whether, and promptly preparing and making, any

other filings or notifications or other consents are required to be made with, or obtained from, any other Governmental Bodies in connection with the Transactions.

(d) Without limiting the generality of anything contained in this Section 6.2, during the Pre-Closing Period, each Party shall use its reasonable best efforts to: (i) cooperate (and, in the case of the Company, cause its Subsidiaries to, and in the case of Parent and Purchaser, procure that its controlling Persons cooperate) in all respects and consult with each other in connection with any filing or submission in connection with any investigation or other inquiry, including allowing the other Party to have a reasonable opportunity to review in advance and comment on drafts of filings and submissions; (ii) give the other Parties prompt notice of the making or commencement of any request, inquiry, investigation, action or Legal Proceeding brought by a Governmental Body or brought by a third party before any Governmental Body, in each case, with respect to the Transactions; (iii) keep the other Parties informed as to the status of any such request, inquiry, investigation, action or Legal Proceeding; (iv) promptly inform the other Parties of any communication to or from the FTC, DOJ or any other Governmental Body in connection with any such request, inquiry, investigation, action or Legal Proceeding; (v) subject to an appropriate confidentiality agreement to limit disclosure to outside counsel and consultants retained by such counsel, promptly furnish the other Party with copies of all correspondence from any Governmental Body in connection with any such request, inquiry, investigation, action or Legal Proceeding (other than Item “4(c)” and “4(d)” documents as those terms are used under the HSR Act); (vi) consult in advance and cooperate with the other Parties and consider in good faith the views of the other Parties in connection with any communication, analysis, appearance, presentation, memorandum, brief, argument, opinion or proposal to be made or submitted in connection with any such request, inquiry, investigation, action or Legal Proceeding; and (vii) except as may be prohibited by any Governmental Body or by any Legal Requirement, in connection with any such request, inquiry, investigation, action or Legal Proceeding in respect of the Transactions, each Party shall provide advance notice of and permit authorized Representatives of the other Party to be present at each meeting or teleconference relating to such request, inquiry, investigation, action or Legal Proceeding and to have access to and be consulted in advance in connection with any argument, opinion or proposal to be made or submitted to any Governmental Body in connection with such request, inquiry, investigation, action or Legal Proceeding. Each Party shall (and in the case of Parent and Purchaser, shall procure its controlling Persons to) supply as promptly as practicable such information, documentation, other material or testimony that may be reasonably requested by any Governmental Body, including by complying at the earliest reasonably practicable date with any reasonable request for additional information, documents or other materials received by any Party or any of their respective Subsidiaries from any Governmental Body in connection with such applications or filings for the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Purchaser shall pay all filing fees under the HSR Act and for any filings required under foreign Antitrust Laws. Neither Party shall commit to or agree with any Governmental Body to stay, toll or extend any applicable waiting period under the HSR Act, or withdraw any notification filed under the HSR Act, or other applicable Antitrust Laws, without the prior written consent of the other.

(e) Without the prior written approval of the Company, prior to the Closing, Parent and Purchaser, excluding any Affiliates other than Subsidiaries, shall not, and shall not encourage or direct any Affiliates to, negotiate, effect or agree to any business combination

(whether structured as a merger, business combination, tender offer, exchange offer or similar transaction) or the acquisition of any assets, licenses, rights, product lines, operations or businesses of any Person that may compete with any of the products sold or in development by the Acquired Corporations, or which business combination or acquisition could reasonably be expected to prevent, impair or materially delay consummation of the Transactions.

6.3. Employee Benefits. Subject to the terms of any Collective Bargaining Agreement, for a period of one (1) year following the Effective Time, Parent shall provide, or cause to be provided, to those employees of the Acquired Corporations who are employed by any Acquired Corporation as of immediately prior to the Effective Time and who continue to be actively employed by the Surviving Corporation (or any Affiliate of the Surviving Corporation) during such one (1) year period (the “Continuing Employees”) (i) base salary, base wages, annual cash bonus opportunities and commission opportunities each on a basis no less favorable than that in effect immediately prior to the execution of this Agreement, and (ii) other benefits that are substantially comparable in the aggregate to the benefits provided to the Continuing Employees immediately prior to the execution of this Agreement (excluding remuneration covered in clause (i) of this sentence and equity compensation and long-term cash incentive opportunities). Without limiting the foregoing:

(a) Each Continuing Employee shall be given service credit for all purposes, including for eligibility to participate, benefit accrual and vesting under Parent employee benefit plans and arrangements with respect to his or her length of service with the Company (and its subsidiaries and predecessors) prior to the Closing Date. Such service shall not be recognized (i) to the extent that such recognition would result in the duplication of benefits for the same period of service or (ii) for purposes of any plan or arrangement that is grandfathered or frozen, provided, that if any such plan is grandfathered or frozen in part, the Continuing Employees shall be credited with prior service for purposes of participation in such plan with respect to the portion(s) of such plan that is not so grandfathered or frozen.

(b) With respect to any accrued but unused personal, sick or vacation time to which any Continuing Employee is entitled pursuant to the personal, sick or vacation policies applicable to such Continuing Employee immediately prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to and instruct its controlled Affiliates to, as applicable (and without duplication of benefits), assume the liability for such accrued personal, sick or vacation time and allow such Continuing Employee to use such accrued personal, sick or vacation time in accordance with the practice and policies of the Company and subject to applicable Legal Requirements.

(c) With respect to any severance plans or policies, Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, honor and assume the Company’s severance plans or policies in which any Continuing Employees are eligible to participate, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, subject to the terms of such plans or policies.

(d) Parent agrees that each Continuing Employee shall be eligible to continue to participate in the Surviving Corporation’s health and welfare benefit plans (to the same extent that such Continuing Employee was eligible to participate under the applicable Acquired Corporation’s health and welfare benefit plans immediately prior to the Effective Time).

Notwithstanding the foregoing: (i) nothing in this Section 6.3 or elsewhere in this Agreement shall limit the right of Parent or the Surviving Corporation to amend or terminate any Surviving Corporation health or welfare benefit plan at any time; and (ii) if Parent or the Surviving Corporation terminates a Surviving Corporation health or welfare benefit plan, then each Continuing Employee shall be eligible to participate in Parent’s health and welfare benefit plans to the extent that coverage under such plans is replacing comparable coverage under an Employee Plan in which such Continuing Employee participated immediately before the Effective Time. To the extent that service is relevant for eligibility, vesting or allowances (including paid time off) under any health or welfare benefit plan of Parent or the Surviving Corporation, then Parent shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to: (A) waive all limitations as to pre-existing conditions, exclusions and waiting periods with respect to participation and coverage requirements applicable to the Continuing Employees, to the extent that such conditions, exclusions and waiting periods would not apply under a similar employee benefit plan in which such employees participated prior to the Effective Time; and (B) ensure that such health or welfare benefit plan shall, for purposes of eligibility, vesting, deductibles, co-payments and out-of-pocket maximums and allowances (including paid time off), credit Continuing Employees for service and amounts paid prior to the Effective Time with the Company to the same extent that such service and amounts paid were recognized prior to the Effective Time under the corresponding health or welfare benefit plan of the Company. Nothing in this Section 6.3 or elsewhere in this Agreement shall be construed to create a right in any employee to employment with Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any other Affiliate of the Surviving Corporation and the employment of each Continuing Employee shall be “at will” employment.

(e) With respect to each of the Company’s bonus plans or programs set forth in Part 3.5 of the Company Disclosure Letter, Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, honor and assume each such plan or program, in each case, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time.

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, after the Effective Time, nothing in this Section 6.3 shall preclude the Surviving Corporation from terminating the employment of any employee of the Surviving Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries for any lawful reason.

(g) The provisions of this Section 6.3 are solely for the benefit of the Parties. No provision of this Section 6.3 is intended to, or shall, constitute the establishment or adoption of or an amendment to any employee benefit plan for purposes of ERISA or otherwise. In addition, no current or former employee or any other individual associated with the Parties shall be regarded for any purpose as a third party beneficiary of the Agreement or have the right to enforce the provisions of this Agreement or confer upon such individual the right to continue employment with Parent, the Surviving Corporation or their respective Subsidiaries following the Effective Time, or interfere with any right or ability of Parent, the Surviving Corporation or their respective Subsidiaries to terminate the employment of any employee for any reason or no reason following the Effective Time.

6.4. Indemnification of Officers and Directors.

(a) All rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses and exculpation by the Company or any other Acquired Corporation existing in favor of the Indemnified Persons for their acts and omissions occurring prior to the Effective Time, as provided in the certificate of incorporation, bylaws and other charter and organizational documents of the applicable Acquired Corporation and as provided in any indemnification agreements between the Acquired Corporations and said Indemnified Persons in effect as of the date of this Agreement, shall survive the Merger. All such rights and entitlements shall be observed by the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries to the fullest extent available under applicable Legal Requirements for a period of six (6) years from the Effective Time, and any claim made requesting indemnification or advancement of expenses pursuant to such rights within such six (6)-year period shall continue to be subject to this Section 6.4(a) and the rights provided under Section 6.4(b) until disposition of such claim. From the Effective Time until the sixth (6th) anniversary of the Effective Time, the certificate of incorporation, bylaws and other charter and organizational documents of the Surviving Corporation and each of the other Acquired Corporations shall contain provisions no less favorable with respect to indemnification, advancement of expenses and exculpation of individuals who were, prior to the Effective Time, Indemnified Persons, than are presently set forth in the certificate of incorporation, bylaws and other charter and organizational documents of the Surviving Corporation and each of the other Acquired Corporations, as amended through the Effective Time. From the Effective Time until the sixth (6th) anniversary of the Effective Time, such provisions shall not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified in any manner that would adversely affect the rights of any such individuals under such certificate of incorporation, bylaws or other charter or organizational documents.

(b) From the Effective Time until the sixth (6th) anniversary of the date on which the Effective Time occurs, the Surviving Corporation shall, and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Legal Requirements, indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnified Person against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, fees, expenses, judgments or fines incurred by such Indemnified Person in connection with any pending or threatened Legal Proceeding based on or arising out of, in whole or in part, the fact that such Indemnified Person is or was (i) a director or officer of an Acquired Corporation or (ii) serving at the request of an Acquired Corporation as an officer or director of another Person, in each case of clauses (i) and (ii), at or prior to the Effective Time. Such indemnification and hold harmless provisions shall apply to any and all matters pending, existing or occurring at or prior to the Effective Time, whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the Effective Time, including any such matter arising under any claim with respect to the Transactions. Without limiting the foregoing, from the Effective Time until the sixth (6th) anniversary of the date on which the Effective Time occurs, the Surviving Corporation shall, and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Legal Requirements, advance out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by the Indemnified Persons in connection with matters for which such Indemnified Persons are eligible to be indemnified pursuant to this Section 6.4(b), subject to the execution by such Indemnified Persons of unsecured undertakings in favor of the Surviving Corporation to repay such advanced costs and expenses if it is ultimately determined in a final and non-appealable judgment of a court of

competent jurisdiction that such Indemnified Person is not entitled to be indemnified under this Section 6.4(b).

(c) From the Effective Time until the sixth (6th) anniversary of the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall, and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, maintain, and shall cause the other Acquired Corporations to maintain, in effect, the existing policy of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance maintained by the Acquired Corporations as of the date of this Agreement for the benefit of the Indemnified Persons currently covered by such existing policy with respect to their acts and omissions occurring prior to the Effective Time in their capacities as directors or officers of the Acquired Corporations or another Person at the request of an Acquired Corporation (as applicable), on terms with respect to coverage, deductibles and amounts no less favorable than the existing policy. Unless the Company has purchased a “tail” policy in accordance with this Section 6.4(c), Parent may substitute therefor policies of a reputable and financially sound insurance company containing terms and conditions, including with respect to coverage, amounts, deductibles and exclusions that are, individually and in the aggregate, no less favorable to any Indemnified Person. For the avoidance of doubt, Parent shall not substitute any “tail” policy purchased by the Company in accordance with this Section 6.4(c). In no event shall Parent or the Surviving Corporation be required to expend an annual premium in any one (1) year in an amount in excess of 300% of the annual premium currently payable by the Acquired Corporations with respect to such current policy (the “Premium Cap”). The Parties acknowledge and agree that if the annual premiums payable for such insurance coverage exceed the Premium Cap, the Surviving Corporation shall, and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, obtain a policy with the greatest coverage available for a cost equal to the Premium Cap. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary in this Agreement, prior to the Effective Time, the Company may at its option elect to, and currently intends to, purchase a six (6)-year “tail” policy for each existing policy of the Acquired Corporations effective as of the Effective Time so long as the aggregate premium for all such “tail” policies do not exceed the Premium Cap. If such “tail” policies have been obtained, they shall be deemed to satisfy all obligations to obtain or maintain insurance pursuant to this Section 6.4(c). In the event the Company elects to purchase such a “tail policy,” the Surviving Corporation shall, and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, maintain all such “tail” policies in full force and effect for the full term of such policies and continue to honor the Surviving Corporation’s obligations thereunder.

(d) If Parent or the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective successors or assigns (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 Parent shall ensure that the successors and assigns of Parent or the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, shall assume the obligations set forth in this Section 6.4.

(e) The provisions of this Section 6.4 shall survive the acceptance of Shares for payment pursuant to the Offer and the consummation of the Merger and are: (i) intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each of the Indemnified Persons and their successors, assigns and heirs; and (ii) in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other rights to indemnification or contribution, advancement of expenses or exculpation that any such Person

may have by contract or otherwise. Unless required by applicable Legal Requirement, this Section 6.4 may not be amended, altered or repealed after the Offer Acceptance Time in such a manner as to adversely affect the rights of any Indemnified Person or any of their successors, assigns or heirs without the prior written consent of the affected Indemnified Person.

6.5. Securityholder Litigation; Notification of Certain Matters. Prior to the earlier of the Effective Time or the termination of this Agreement, the Company shall control the defense of any Legal Proceedings brought by stockholders of the Company against the Company or its officers or directors relating to the Transactions and shall promptly notify Parent of any such Legal Proceedings and any material developments with respect thereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, where legally permissible and reasonably practicable, the Company shall give Parent and its counsel the right to review and comment on all material filings or responses to be made by the Company in connection with any such Legal Proceedings and give reasonable and good faith consideration to any such comments made by Parent and its counsel. The Company shall also give Parent and its counsel the right to consult on the settlement, release, waiver or compromise of any such Legal Proceedings, and the Company shall in good faith take Parent’s views into account. No such settlement, release, waiver or compromise relating to the Transactions shall be agreed to without Parent’s prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), except for settlements, releases, waivers or compromises that (a) relate to Legal Proceedings to which none of Parent, Purchaser, the Guarantors or their respective Affiliates are a party and (b) provide solely for (i) money damages and the payment of attorneys’ fees in an aggregate amount (together with all other settlements entered into pursuant to Section 5.2(b)(x) and this Section 6.5) not in excess of amounts equal to the dollar amount of the coverage limits for such settlement, release, waiver or compromise under the Acquired Corporations’ insurance and (ii) additional disclosure, if any, in the Schedule 14D-9 that does not disparage Parent, Purchaser, the Guarantors, the Acquired Corporations, the Surviving Corporation, any of their respective Affiliates or any of their respective businesses. Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall give prompt notice to the Company, and the Company shall give prompt notice to Parent, of (A) any notice or other communication received by such Party from any Governmental Body in connection with this Agreement or the Transactions or from any Person alleging that the consent of such Person is or may be required in connection with the Transactions, if the subject matter of such communication or the failure of such Party to obtain such consent could be material to the Company, the Surviving Corporation, Purchaser or Parent, (B) any Legal Proceedings commenced or, to such Party’s knowledge, threatened against such Party which relates to this Agreement or the Transactions, (C) any fact, event or circumstance that (1) has had or would reasonably be expected to result in any Material Adverse Effect or Parent Material Adverse Effect, as applicable, or (2) is reasonably likely to result in the failure of any of the Offer Conditions or any of conditions set forth in Section 7 to be satisfied, and (D) any notice or other communication (whether written or oral) received by the Company from the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation within two (2) business days of receipt by the Company of any such notice or communication.

(a) Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts, and shall cause Red Holdings and Green Holdings, as applicable, to use commercially reasonable efforts, to take all actions and to do all things necessary to obtain the Financing on the terms and subject only to the conditions described in the Financing Commitments (including any market “flex” provisions applicable thereto), including using commercially reasonable efforts to (i) negotiate definitive agreements on substantially the terms and subject only to the conditions (including the market “flex” provisions) contained in the applicable Debt Commitment Letters and related Redacted Fee Letters (or on other terms that, with respect to conditionality, are not less favorable to Red Holdings or Green Holdings, as applicable, than the terms and conditions (including market “flex” provisions) set forth in the applicable Debt Commitment Letters and related Redacted Fee Letters), (ii) satisfy or cause the satisfaction of all conditions applicable to Purchaser and its Affiliates in the Financing Commitments and the definitive agreements for the Financing or, if necessary or deemed advisable by Purchaser, seek the waiver of conditions applicable to Purchaser and its Affiliates contained in such Financing Commitments or such definitive agreements for the Financing, (iii) maintain in full force and effect the Financing Commitments in accordance with the terms thereof, (iv) satisfy on a timely basis all conditions to the Financing Commitments that are in Purchaser’s, Red Holdings’ or Green Holdings’ control, (v) in the event that all conditions in the Financing Commitments have been satisfied or waived, consummate the Financing as of the Offer Closing as required to occur pursuant to Section 1.1(h) (including by instructing the Debt Financing Sources and the other Persons providing the Financing to provide such Financing), (vi) enforce its rights under the Financing Commitments in the event of any breach thereof and (vii) otherwise comply with Parent’s, Purchaser’s, Red Holdings’ and Green Holdings’ covenants and other obligations under the Financing Commitments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, nothing contained in this Section 6.11 shall require, and in no event shall the commercially reasonable efforts of Purchaser be deemed or construed to require, Purchaser to (A) seek the Equity Financing from any source other than the counterparties to, or in any amount in excess of that contemplated by, the Equity Financing Commitment, or (B) pay any material fees in excess of those contemplated by the Equity Financing Commitment or the Debt Commitment Letters and Redacted Fee Letters (including any market “flex” provisions contained therein).

(b) In the event any portion of the Debt Financing necessary to pay the Required Amount becomes unavailable on the terms and conditions (including any applicable market “flex” provisions) contemplated in the applicable Debt Commitment Letter and related Redacted Fee Letter, Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts, as promptly as practicable, to obtain alternative debt financing in an amount sufficient, together with the amount of the Equity Financing and Debt Financing that remains available, to fund the Required Amount with terms and conditions (including market “flex” provisions) not less favorable to Purchaser or its Affiliates than the terms and conditions set forth in the applicable Debt Commitment Letter and related Redacted Fee Letter. Purchaser shall deliver to the Company true and complete copies of the alternative debt commitment letters (including redacted fee letters (redacted solely to the same extent as the Redacted Fee Letters) related thereto) pursuant to which any such alternative source shall have committed to provide any portion of the Debt Financing. Purchaser shall deliver to the Company true and complete copies of the alternative debt commitment letters (including Redacted Fee Letters) pursuant to which any such alternative source shall have committed to provide any portion of the Debt Financing. For purposes of this Agreement, references to (x) the “Financing” shall include the financing contemplated by the Financing Commitments as permitted to be amended, modified, supplemented or replaced by this Section 6.11, (y) references to the “Debt Commitment Letters” shall include such documents as permitted to be amended, modified, supplemented or replaced by this Section 6.11 and (z) references to “Debt Financing” shall include the debt financing contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letter as permitted to be amended, modified, supplemented or replaced by this Section 6.11.

(c) Purchaser shall have the right from time to time to amend, replace, supplement or otherwise modify, or waive any of its rights under, the Debt Financing. No such amendment, replacement, supplement, modification or waiver shall, without the prior written consent of the Company (i) reduce the aggregate amount of the Debt Financing such that the aggregate amount of the Financing would be below the amount required to pay the Required Amount, (ii) modify or expand upon any of the conditions precedent to the Debt Financing from those set forth in the Debt Commitment Letters, or add any new conditions precedent to the Debt Financing from those set forth in the Debt Commitment Letters, in each case in a manner that would reasonably be expected to delay or prevent the funding of the Financing (or satisfaction of the conditions to the Financing), (iii) be reasonably expected to prevent, impede or delay the availability of the Debt Financing, (iv) agree to any early termination of any Debt Commitment Letter (unless previously or simultaneously replaced with alternative financing to the extent necessary to fund the Required Amount) or (v) adversely impact the ability of Purchaser, Parent, Red Holdings or Green Holdings, as applicable, to enforce its rights against other parties to the Financing Commitments (collectively, the “Restricted Commitment Letter Amendments”). Purchaser may, in any event, modify, supplement or amend any Debt Commitment Letter to add lenders, lead arrangers, bookrunners, syndication agents or similar entities (or titles with respect to such entities) who had not executed such Debt Commitment Letter as of the date of this Agreement. Purchaser shall promptly deliver to the Company a true and correct copy of any such amendment, replacement, supplement, modification, or waiver of or under the Debt Financing.

(d) To the extent that Purchaser obtains alternative financing pursuant to Section 6.11(b) above, or amends, replaces, supplements, modifies or waives any of the Debt Financing pursuant to Section 6.11(c), references to the “Financing” and “Financing

Commitments” as applicable (and other like terms in this Agreement, including, as applicable, “Debt Financing,” “Debt Commitment Letter” and “Redacted Fee Letter”) shall be deemed to refer to such alternative financing, or the Debt Financing as so amended, replaced, supplemented, modified or waived. The representations, warranties, covenants and other restrictions of Purchaser, Parent, Red Holdings and Green Holdings, as applicable, contained in this Agreement and any other provisions herein with respect to the Financing and the Debt Commitment Letters shall apply equally to any replacement Debt Commitment Letters.

(e) Upon request by the Company, Purchaser shall keep the Company reasonably informed on a timely basis (and in any event within two (2) business days after the date the Company delivers to the Purchaser a request) of the status of their efforts to obtain the Debt Financing and to satisfy the conditions thereof, including updating the Company, in a reasonable level of detail, with respect to status, proposed closing date and material terms of the definitive documentation related to the Debt Financing, providing copies of the drafts posted to potential lenders and executed material definitive documents related to the Debt Financing and giving the Company prompt notice of any material adverse change with respect to the Debt Financing of which Purchaser becomes aware. Without limiting the foregoing, Purchaser shall notify the Company promptly (and in any event within two (2) business days) if at any time prior to the Effective Time: (i) Purchaser obtains knowledge that any Financing Commitment expires or is terminated for any reason (or if any Person attempts or purports to terminate any Financing Commitment, whether or not such attempted or purported termination is valid), (ii) Purchaser obtains knowledge of any breach or default (or any event or circumstance that, with or without due notice, lapse of time or both, would reasonably be expected to give rise to any breach or default) by any party to any Financing Commitment, (iii) Purchaser receives any written notice or other written communication from any Person with respect to any (A) actual, potential or threatened breach, default, termination or repudiation by any party to the Financing Commitments or any definitive agreement related thereto (including any proposal by any lender named in the Debt Commitment Letters to withdraw its commitments under such Debt Commitment Letter, terminate such Debt Commitment Letter or reduce the amount of financing or delay the timing of financing contemplated by such Debt Commitment Letter) or (B) material dispute or disagreement between or among any parties to the Financing Commitments or any definitive agreement related thereto, (iv) any Financing source (including any Debt Financing Source) refuses to provide or expresses to Purchaser, Red Holdings or Green Holdings in writing an intent to refuse to provide all or any portion of the Financing necessary to fund the Required Amount on the terms contemplated by the Financing Commitments, or (v) Purchaser, for any reason, no longer believes in good faith that it will be able to obtain all or any portion of the Financing necessary to fund the Required Amount on the terms contemplated by the Financing Commitments.

(f) The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to provide, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to use their commercially reasonable efforts to provide, to Purchaser, Red Holdings and Green Holdings all cooperation reasonably requested by Purchaser, Red Holdings or Green Holdings in connection with causing the conditions precedent in the Debt Commitment Letters to be satisfied, or obtaining the Financing to the extent customary in connection with the arrangement of debt or equity financing similar to the Financing, including using commercially reasonable efforts in:

(i) furnishing to Purchaser, Red Holdings, Green Holdings and the Debt Financing Sources as promptly as reasonably practicable any Required Financial Information;

(vii) causing its independent auditors to provide, consistent with customary practice, reasonable assistance to Purchaser, Red Holdings and Green Holdings, including in connection with their preparation of pro forma financial statements and information;

(viii) providing customary information to assist Purchaser, Red Holdings and Green Holdings in connection with the preparation of any pro forma financial information and pro forma financial statements of the Company and its Subsidiaries (including the Red Business and the Green Business) of the type required by paragraph (3) of Exhibit C to the Debt Commitment Letters, to be included in any confidential information memorandum or any other offering documents for the Debt Financing, or necessary or reasonably required by the Financing sources (including the Debt Financing Sources). Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall be required to (I) actually prepare any such pro forma financial information or (II) provide any information or assistance relating to (A) the proposed debt and equity capitalization that is required for such pro forma financial information or assumed interest rates, fees and expenses relating to such debt and equity capitalization or (B) any post-Closing or pro forma cost savings,

synergies, capitalization, ownership or other pro forma adjustments desired to be incorporated into any information used in connection with the Debt Financing;

(ix) executing and delivering as of (but not prior to) the Closing any customary pledge and security documents, customary supplemental indentures, customary currency or customary interest hedging arrangements, other customary definitive financing documents, or other customary certificates or customary documents as may be reasonably requested by Purchaser (including borrowing base certificates (executed by a continuing officer of the Company) for the Red Business prepared by the Purchaser (provided, that the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide customary information to assist Purchaser in connection with the preparation), customary certificates of the chief financial officer (or other executive officer), in each case, that is a continuing officer, of the Company with respect to solvency matters in the form set forth as an exhibit to the Debt Commitment Letters) and otherwise reasonably facilitate the pledging of collateral (including the delivery of all stock or other certificates intended to constitute collateral as contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letters) (it being understood that such documents (A) will not take effect prior to the Closing and (B) shall not be required to be executed by any officer of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries unless such officer will be a continuing officer of the Company or one of its Subsidiaries after giving effect to the Closing);

(x) providing customary authorization letters to the Debt Financing Sources authorizing the distribution of information to prospective lenders, subject to customary confidentiality provisions, and containing a customary representation to the Debt Financing Sources contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letters, including that the public side versions of such documents do not include material non-public information about the Company or the Subsidiaries or their securities and the accuracy of the information contained in the disclosure and marketing materials related to the Debt Financing; provided, that the Company is given a reasonable opportunity prior to execution to review and provide comments on such authorization letters and such information distributed to prospective lenders in connection therewith;

(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement: (i) nothing shall require such cooperation as described in this Section 6.11 to the extent it would, in the Company’s reasonable judgment, unreasonably interfere with the business or operations of the Company or its Subsidiaries or conflict with or violate the Company’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ organizational documents or any applicable Legal Requirements or result in, prior to the Effective Time, the contravention of, or that would reasonably be expected to result in, prior to the Effective Time, a violation or breach of, or default under, any material Contract to which the Company or its Subsidiaries is a party if such action would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company and its Subsidiaries, (ii) in no event shall the Company or any of its Subsidiaries be required prior to the Effective Time to bear any cost or expense, pay any commitment or other fee, enter into any definitive agreement (other than customary representation letters and authorization letters referred to above), incur any other liability or obligation (other than in connection with customary representation letters and authorization letters referred to above), make any other payment or agree to provide any indemnity in connection with the Financing or any of the foregoing prior to the Effective Time, in each case, that would not be reimbursed or indemnified by Parent or Purchaser, (iii) neither of the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries nor any Persons who are directors of the Company shall be required to, or be required to commit to, (A) take any action that is not contingent upon the Closing or enter into or execute any agreement or document that is effective prior to the Closing, in each case other than customary representation letters and authorization letters (including with respect to the presence or absence of material non-public information and the accuracy of the information contained in the disclosure and marketing materials related to the Debt Financing) contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letters, (B) require any of its directors to approve or adopt any Financing or agreements related thereto prior to the Effective Time (and no such directors that shall not be continuing directors shall be required to take such action), (C) take any action that would result in any officer, director or other Representative of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries incurring any personal liability (as opposed to liability in his or her capacity as an officer of such Person) with respect to any matters relating to the Financing or (D) deliver or cause the delivery of any legal opinions necessary for the Financing and (iv) nothing shall require such cooperation as described in this Section 6.11 to the extent it would require preparation of information with respect to any segment, division or line of business of the Company and its Subsidiaries (including the Red Business and the Green Business) unless the Company or its Subsidiaries prepares such information in the ordinary course of business or such information is reasonably available from the Company’s or its Subsidiaries’ books and records. The Company shall be permitted a reasonable period to comment on any confidential information memorandum, offering memorandum, prospectus or other marketing document circulated to potential financing sources. It is understood that the Purchaser does not have an independent right to demand a restatement of the financial statements for marketing purposes.

(h) Purchaser (i) shall, upon request by the Company, promptly reimburse the Company for its reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees and expenses (including, but not limited to, (A) reasonable attorney’s fees and (B) fees and expenses of the Company’s accounting firms engaged to assist in connection with the Financing, including performing additional requested procedures, reviewing any offering documents and participating in any meetings) incurred by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Representatives in connection with the Financing, including the cooperation of the Company and its Subsidiaries and Representatives contemplated by this Section 6.11 and (ii) shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company and its Subsidiaries, Affiliates and their respective Representatives from and against any and all liabilities, losses, damages, claims, costs, expenses, interest, awards, judgments, and penalties incurred or suffered by them in connection with any actions taken pursuant to this Section 6.11 at the request of Purchaser, in each case of clauses (i) and (ii), except to the extent any of the foregoing was suffered or incurred as a result of bad faith, gross negligence, willful misconduct or material breach of this Agreement by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Representatives (clauses (i) and (ii), collectively, the “Reimbursement and Indemnification Obligations”). Any information provided pursuant to this Section 6.11 shall be used by Parent, Red Holdings, Green Holdings and the Debt Financing Sources in accordance with the confidentiality provisions set forth in the Debt Commitment Letters (it being understood and agreed that the information provided pursuant to this Section 6.11 may be provided to potential lenders in connection with the Debt Financing who have agreed to keep such information confidential, including pursuant to a customary confidentiality undertaking contained in marketing materials for the Debt Financing, a customary “click through” confidentiality undertaking or otherwise).

(i) The Company hereby consents to the use of its and its Subsidiaries’ logos in connection with the Debt Financing. Parent and Purchaser shall, and shall cause the Debt Financing Sources and their respective affiliates and Representatives to, use such logos in a manner that is not intended to and is not reasonably likely to harm, disparage or otherwise adversely affect the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. None of Parent, Purchaser, Red Holdings, Green Holdings, the Debt Financing Sources nor any of their respective affiliates and Representatives shall obtain any rights in such logos prior to the Closing.

(j) The Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, use commercially reasonable efforts to periodically update any Required Financial Information provided to Parent, Red Holdings or Green Holdings as may be necessary so that such Required Financial Information (i) is Compliant and (ii) meets the applicable requirements set forth in the definition of “Required Financial Information” throughout the pendency of the Marketing Period. For the avoidance of doubt, Parent, Red Holdings or Green Holdings may, to most effectively access the financing markets, require the cooperation of the Company and its Subsidiaries under this Section 6.11 at any time, and from time to time and on multiple occasions, between the date of this Agreement and the Closing. The Marketing Period shall not be applicable as to each attempt to access the markets. The Company agrees to file all reports on Form 10-K, Form 10-Q and Form 8-K and all other documents, in each case, required to be filed with the SEC pursuant to the Exchange Act prior to the Closing Date in accordance with the time periods required by the Exchange Act. In addition, if, in connection with a marketing effort contemplated by any Debt Commitment Letter, Parent reasonably requests the Company to file a Current Report on Form 8-K pursuant to the Exchange Act that contains material non-public information with respect to the Company and its

Subsidiaries, which Parent, Red Holdings or Green Holdings reasonably determines to include in customary marketing materials for the Debt Financing, then the Company shall file a Current Report on Form 8-K containing such material non-public information.

(k) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Purchaser may enter discussions regarding, and may enter into arrangements and agreements relating to the Equity Financing to add other equity providers, so long as in respect of any such arrangements and agreements, the following conditions are met: (i) the aggregate amount of the Equity Financing is not reduced; (ii) the arrangements and agreements, in the aggregate, would not be reasonably likely to delay, impede or prevent the Offer Closing; and (iii) the arrangements and agreements would not diminish or release the pre-closing obligations of the parties to the Equity Financing Commitment as of the date of this Agreement, adversely affect the rights of Purchaser to enforce its rights against the other parties to the Equity Financing Commitment or otherwise constitute a waiver or reduction of Purchaser’s rights under the Equity Financing Commitment.

(l) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to consummate the Closing is not conditioned upon any Financing being made available to the Purchaser.

6.12. Stock Exchange De-Listing. Prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall cooperate with Parent and shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Shares to be de-listed from NYSE and de-registered under the Exchange Act as soon as reasonably practicable following the Effective Time.

SECTION 7. CONDITIONS PRECEDENT TO THE MERGER

The obligations of the Parties to effect the Merger are subject to the satisfaction, at or prior to the Closing, of each of the following conditions:

7.1. No Restraints. There shall not have been issued by any court of competent jurisdiction and remain in effect any temporary restraining order, preliminary or permanent injunction or other order preventing, restraining or otherwise prohibiting the consummation of the Merger. Nor shall any action have been taken, or any Legal Requirement or order promulgated, entered, enforced, enacted, issued or deemed applicable to the Merger by any Governmental Body, which prohibits, makes illegal or otherwise seeks to restrain, the consummation of the Merger. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Party shall be permitted to invoke this Section 7.1 if such Party is in material breach of its obligations set forth in Section 6.6.

(c) by either Parent or the Company if a court of competent jurisdiction or other Governmental Body shall have issued a decree, ruling, injunction or order or shall have taken any other action, having the effect of permanently restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the acceptance for payment of Shares pursuant to the Offer or the Merger or making consummation of the Offer or the Merger illegal, which order, decree, ruling, injunction or other action shall be final and non-appealable, but only if (i) the Party seeking to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1(c) is not in material breach of its obligations set forth in Section 6.6, and (ii) the issuance of such final and non-appealable order, decree, ruling, injunction or other action is not attributable to the material breach by such Party of any representation, covenant or obligation of such Party set forth in this Agreement;

(d) by Parent, if: (i) the Company Board shall have failed to include the Company Board Recommendation in the Schedule 14D-9 when mailed, or shall have effected a Company Adverse Change Recommendation; (ii) in the case of a tender offer or exchange offer subject to Regulation 14D under the Exchange Act, other than the Offer, the Company Board fails to recommend, in a Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9, rejection of such tender offer or exchange offer within ten (10) business days of the commencement of such tender offer or exchange offer; or (iii) the Company, the Company Board or any committee thereof shall authorize or publicly propose to take any of the actions listed in clauses (i)-(ii) above.

(e) by the Company, at any time prior to the Offer Acceptance Time, in order to accept a Superior Offer and enter into a Specified Agreement in accordance with Section 6.1(b), provided that such termination shall not be effective unless the Company shall pay the Termination Fee due to Parent concurrently with such termination in accordance with Section 8.3(b);

(f) by Parent, if a breach of any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement or failure to perform any covenant or obligation in this Agreement on the part of the Company shall have occurred such that any Offer Condition set forth in clauses (b) or (c) of Annex I would not be satisfied and such breach or failure cannot be cured by the Company by the End Date, or if capable of being cured in such time frame, shall not have been cured within the earlier of the End Date and thirty (30) days of the date Parent gives the Company notice of such breach or failure to perform, but only if neither Parent nor Purchaser is then in material breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or obligation under this Agreement, which breach has not been cured;

(g) by the Company, if a breach of any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement or failure to perform any covenant or obligation in this Agreement on the part of Parent or Purchaser shall have occurred, in each case, if such breach or failure has prevented Parent or Purchaser from consummating the Transactions and such breach or failure cannot be cured by Parent or Purchaser, as applicable, by the End Date, or if capable of being cured in such time frame, shall not have been cured within the earlier of the End Date and thirty (30) days of the date the Company gives Parent notice of such breach or failure to perform, but only if the Company is not then in material breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or obligation under this Agreement, which breach has not been cured;

(h) by the Company if Purchaser shall have failed to commence (within the meaning of Rule 14d-2 under the Exchange Act) the Offer within one (1) business day after the time period specified in Section 1.1(a), but only if the Company is not then in material breach of its representations or warranties or then materially failing to perform its covenants, obligations or agreements contained in this Agreement which breach or failure to perform is a significant contributing cause of Purchaser’s failure to commence (within the meaning of Rule 14d-2 under the Exchange Act) the Offer within one (1) business day after the time period specified in Section 1.1(a); or

(i) by the Company following the Expiration Date (disregarding any extension of the Expiration Date by Purchaser pursuant to Section 1.1(c)(iii)), if (i) all of the Offer Conditions have been satisfied or waived (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Offer Acceptance Time, but which conditions would be capable of being satisfied if the Expiration Date were the date of the Company’s delivery of the Company’s Notice), (ii) Purchaser shall have failed to consummate (as defined in Section 251(h) of the DGCL) the Offer within two (2) business days following the Expiration Date (disregarding any extension of the Expiration Date by Purchaser pursuant to Section 1.1(c)(iii)), (iii) the Company has delivered written notice (the “Company’s Notice”) to Parent of the Company’s intention to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1(i) if Purchaser fails to consummate (as defined in Section 251(h) of the DGCL) the Offer by one minute after 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the fourth (4th) business day following the date of the Company’s delivery of the Company’s Notice (or such shorter period of time as remains prior to one minute after 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the End Date, the shorter of such periods, the “Failure Notice Period”), (iv) Purchaser fails to consummate (as defined in Section 251(h) of the DGCL) the Offer prior to the expiration of the Failure Notice Period and (v) upon written request by Purchaser (and on no more than two (2) occasions) during the Failure Notice Period, the Company has confirmed or reaffirmed that it stood ready, willing and able to consummate the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby.

In addition, for the purpose of clause (z), the references to “20%” in the definition of “Acquisition Proposal” shall be deemed to be references to “50 %”.

In no event shall the Company be required to pay the Termination Fee on more than one occasion. Payment of the Termination Fee pursuant to Section 8.3(b) shall be deemed to be liquidated damages for any and all losses or damages suffered or incurred by Parent, Purchaser, any of their respective Affiliates or any other Person in connection with this Agreement (and the termination of this Agreement), the Transactions (and the abandonment of the Transactions) or any matter forming the basis for such termination. None of the Parent Related Parties or any other Person shall be entitled to bring or maintain any Legal Proceeding against any Company Related Party arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, any of the Transactions or any matters forming the basis for such termination, except (1) Legal Proceedings to enforce the Company’s obligation to pay the Termination Fee if payable in accordance with Section 8.3(b), (2) Parent’s and Purchaser’s right to pursue specific performance as provided in Section 9.5(c) prior to the termination of this Agreement, and (3) if the Termination Fee has not been paid, is not then payable or Parent elects, in its sole discretion, not to receive payment of the Termination Fee (and refunds the full amount of any Termination Fee previously received by Parent), subject to Section 8.3(e), any Legal Proceeding against (A) the Company for Fraud or Willful Breach of this Agreement, or (B) each Holder to the extent expressly provided for in the Tender and Support Agreement.

None of the Company Related Parties or any other Person shall be entitled to bring or maintain any Legal Proceeding against any Parent Related Party arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, any of the Transactions or any matters forming the basis for such termination, except (1) Legal Proceedings to enforce Parent’s obligation to pay the Parent Termination Fee if payable in accordance with Section 8.3(c), (2) the Company’s right to pursue specific performance as provided in (but subject to the limitations of) Section 9.5(c) prior to the termination of this Agreement, and (3) if the Parent Termination Fee has not been paid, is not then payable, or the Company elects, in its sole discretion, not to receive payment of the Parent Termination Fee (and refunds the full amount of any Parent Termination Fee previously received by the Company), subject to Section 8.3(e), any Legal Proceeding against (A) Parent or Purchaser for Fraud or Willful Breach of this Agreement, (B) the Guarantors to the extent expressly provided for in the Equity Financing Commitment, or (C) the Guarantors to the extent expressly provided for in the Limited Guarantee.

Nothing in this Agreement will limit in any way the remedies of the Company under the Confidentiality Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other document, instrument or agreement entered in connection herewith, including the Financing Commitments and the Limited Guarantee, subject to Section 9.05(c), the maximum aggregate liability of the Parent Related Parties under this Agreement or any other document, instrument or agreement entered in connection herewith, including the Financing Commitments and the Limited Guarantee, collectively (including monetary damages for fraud or breach, whether willful, material, intentional, unintentional or otherwise, or monetary damages in lieu of specific performance), or in connection with the failure of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (including the Financing) to be consummated, or in respect of any representation made or alleged to have been made in connection herewith or therewith, whether in equity or at law, in Contract, in tort or otherwise, together with any payment of the Parent Termination Fee and any other payment in connection with this Agreement or any other document, instrument or agreement entered in connection herewith, including the Financing Commitments and the Limited Guarantee, or otherwise, shall not exceed under any circumstances the sum of $32,500,000 (such sum, the “Parent Maximum Liability Amount”), and in no event shall any Company Related Party or any of their respective Representatives seek, directly or indirectly, to recover against the Parent Related Parties, or compel payment by the Parent Related Parties of, any damages or other payments whatsoever (including multiple, consequential, indirect, special, statutory, exemplary or punitive damages) in excess of the Maximum Liability Amount. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other document, instrument or agreement entered in connection herewith, subject to Section 9.05(c), the maximum aggregate liability of the Company Related Parties under

this Agreement or any other document, instrument or agreement entered in connection herewith, collectively (including monetary damages for fraud or breach, whether willful, material, intentional, unintentional or otherwise, or monetary damages in lieu of specific performance), or in connection with the failure of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby to be consummated, or in respect of any representation made or alleged to have been made in connection herewith or therewith, whether in equity or at law, in Contract, in tort or otherwise, together with any payment of the Termination Fee and any other payment in connection with this Agreement or any other document, instrument or agreement entered in connection herewith, or otherwise, shall not exceed under any circumstances the sum of $17,500,000 (such sum, the “Company Maximum Liability Amount”), and in no event shall any Parent Related Party or any of their respective Representatives seek, directly or indirectly, to recover against the Company Related Parties, or compel payment by the Company Related Parties of, any damages or other payments whatsoever (including multiple, consequential, indirect, special, statutory, exemplary or punitive damages) in excess of the Company Maximum Liability Amount.

(ii) In connection with any loss suffered by any Parent Related Party as a result of the failure of the Transactions to be consummated or for a breach or failure to perform hereunder or otherwise, other than in the circumstances in which Parent is entitled to receive the Termination Fee in accordance with Section 8.3(b) (in which case Section 8.3(e)(i) shall apply) and the Enforcement Expenses, Parent agrees, on behalf of itself and the Parent Related Parties, that the maximum aggregate monetary liability of the Company and the Company Related Parties, if any, (including monetary damages for fraud or breach, whether willful, material, intentional, unintentional or otherwise, or monetary damages in lieu of specific performance) shall be limited to the aggregate amount of the Termination Fee plus the Enforcement Expenses, and in no event shall Parent or any Parent Related Party seek or be entitled to recover from the Company or any Company Related Parties, and Parent, on behalf of itself and the Parent Related Parties, hereby irrevocably waives and relinquishes any right to seek or recover, any monetary damages in excess of such amount; provided, however, that in no event will the Company Related Parties have any liability for monetary damages (including damages for Fraud, monetary damages in lieu of specific performance or otherwise) in the aggregate in excess of the amount of the Company Maximum Liability Amount. In connection with any loss suffered by any Company Related Party as a result of the failure of the Transactions to be consummated or for a breach or failure to perform hereunder or otherwise, other than in the circumstances in which the Company is entitled to receive the Parent Termination Fee in accordance with Section 8.3(c) (in which case Section 8.3(e)(i) shall apply), the Reimbursement and Indemnification Obligations, the Enforcement Expenses and the Guarantee Expenses, the Company agrees, on behalf of itself and the Company Related Parties, that the maximum aggregate monetary liability of Parent and the Parent Related Parties, if any, (including monetary damages for fraud or breach, whether willful, material, intentional, unintentional or otherwise, or monetary damages in lieu of specific performance, but excluding in the event of a breach of the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement) shall be limited to the aggregate amount of the Parent Termination Fee, plus the Reimbursement and Indemnification Obligations, the Enforcement Expenses and the Guarantee Expenses, and in no event (other than a breach of the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement) shall the Company or any Company Related Party seek or be entitled to recover from Parent or any Parent Related Parties, and the Company, on behalf of itself and the Company Related Parties, hereby irrevocably waives and relinquishes any right to seek or recover, any monetary damages in excess of such amount;

(f) The Parties acknowledge that the agreements contained in this Section 8.3 are an integral part of the Transactions and that, without these agreements, the Parties would not enter into this Agreement. Accordingly, if the Company or Parent, as applicable, fails to timely pay any amount due pursuant to this Section 8.3, and, in order to obtain the payment, Parent or the Company, as applicable, commences a Legal Proceeding which results in a judgment against the other Party (including, with respect to Parent, Purchaser) for the payment set forth in this Section 8.3, the non-prevailing Party shall pay the prevailing Party such payment provided for in the applicable judgment in addition to the prevailing Party’s reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable and documented out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees) in connection with such suit, together with interest on such amount at the prime rate as published in the Wall Street Journal in effect on the date such payment was required to be made through the date such payment was actually received (such costs, expenses and interest of the prevailing Party, collectively, the “Enforcement Expenses”); provided, that in no event shall the aggregate Enforcement Expenses of such prevailing party pursuant to Section 8.3(f) exceed $2,500,000.

SECTION 9. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

9.1. Amendment. Prior to the Offer Acceptance Time, this Agreement may be amended with the approval of the respective boards of directors (or equivalent body) of the Company, Parent and Purchaser at any time. This Agreement may not be amended except by an instrument in writing signed on behalf of each of the Parties. Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary herein, the provisions set forth in Section 8.2, Section 8.3(d)(ii), Section 8.3(e)(i), this Section 9.1, Section 9.2, Section 9.5(a), Section 9.5(d), Section 9.5(e), Section 9.5(f), Section 9.6 and Section 9.7 (and the definitions related thereto and any other provision of this Agreement that would modify the substance of any of the foregoing sections), in each case, may not be amended, modified, supplemented or terminated in any manner adverse to the Debt Financing Sources without the prior written consent of such Debt Financing Sources.

9.2. Waiver. No failure on the part of any Party to exercise any power, right, privilege or remedy under this Agreement, and no delay on the part of any Party in exercising any power, right, privilege or remedy under this Agreement, shall operate as a waiver of such power, right, privilege or remedy. No single or partial exercise of any such power, right, privilege or remedy shall preclude any other or further exercise of any power, right, privilege or remedy. No Party shall be deemed to have waived any claim arising out of this Agreement, or any power, right, privilege or remedy under this Agreement, unless the waiver of such claim, power, right, privilege or remedy is expressly set forth in a written instrument duly executed and delivered on behalf of such Party. Any such waiver shall not be applicable or have any effect except in the specific instance in which it is given. At any time prior to the Offer Acceptance Time, Parent and Purchaser, on the one hand, and the Company, on the other hand, may: (a) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the other; (b) waive any breach of the representations and warranties of the other contained in this Agreement or in any document delivered pursuant to this Agreement; or (c) waive compliance by the other with any of the agreements or covenants contained in 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 by such extension or waiver. However, 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. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Section 8.2, Section 8.3(d)(ii) (other than any election by the Company not to receive the Parent Termination Fee), Section 8.3(e)(i) (other than any election by the Company not to receive the Parent Termination Fee), Section 9.1, this Section 9.2, Section 9.5(a), Section 9.5(d), Section 9.5(e), Section 9.5(f), Section 9.6 and Section 9.7 (and the definitions related thereto and any other provision of this Agreement that would modify the substance of any of the foregoing sections), in each case, may not be waived in any manner adverse to the Debt Financing Sources without the prior written consent of such Debt Financing Sources.

9.3. No Survival of Representations and Warranties. None of the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement, the Company Disclosure Letter or in any certificate or schedule or other document delivered by any Person pursuant to this Agreement shall survive the Merger.

9.4. Entire Agreement; Counterparts. This Agreement, the Tender and Support Agreement, the Financing Commitments, the Limited Guarantee and the other agreements and schedules referred to in this Agreement constitute the entire agreement and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among or between any of the parties thereto, with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement, the Tender and Support Agreement and the other agreements and schedules referred to in this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Confidentiality Agreement shall not be superseded and shall remain in full force and effect. If the Effective Time occurs, the Confidentiality Agreement shall automatically terminate and be of no further force and effect. This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which shall constitute one and the same instrument. The exchange of a fully executed Agreement (in counterparts or otherwise) by PDF shall be sufficient to bind the Parties to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

9.5. Applicable Legal Requirements; Jurisdiction; Specific Performance; Remedies.

(a) This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, regardless of the laws that might otherwise govern under applicable principles of conflicts of laws. Subject to Section 9.5(b), in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of the Transactions, each of the Parties: (i) irrevocably and unconditionally consents and submits to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the Chosen Courts; (ii) irrevocably consents to service of process by first class certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, to the address at which such Party is to receive notice in accordance with Section 9.9; and (iii) agrees that it will not attempt to deny or defeat such personal jurisdiction by motion or other request for leave from any such court. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Debt Commitment Letters and any action or proceeding brought against any of the Debt Financing Sources in accordance with Section 9.5(d) shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.

(b) A final non-appealable judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by applicable Legal Requirements.

(c) Irreparable damage for which monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy, would occur if the Parties do not perform their obligations under the provisions of this Agreement in accordance with its specified terms or otherwise breach such provisions. Subject to the last two sentences of this Section 9.5(c): (i) the Parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions, specific performance, or other equitable relief, to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in the Chosen Courts without proof of damages or otherwise. The foregoing remedies are in addition to any other remedy to which the Parties are entitled under this Agreement; and (ii) the right of specific performance is an integral part of the Transactions and without that right, none of the Parties would have entered into this Agreement. Subject to the last two sentences of this Section 9.5(c) the right to specific enforcement of this Agreement shall include the right of the Company, on behalf of itself and any third party beneficiaries to this Agreement, to cause Parent and Purchaser to cause the Offer, the Merger and the other Transactions to be consummated on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement. Subject to the last two sentences of this Section 9.5(c), each of the Parties agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief on the basis that the other Parties (on behalf of themselves or any third party beneficiary to this Agreement) have an adequate remedy at law or an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or equity. Any Party seeking an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in accordance with this Section 9.5(c) shall not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with any such order or injunction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is explicitly agreed that the right of the Company to seek an injunction, specific performance or other equitable remedies in connection with enforcing the Purchaser’s obligation to cause the Equity Financing to be funded and to fund the Offer Price or the Merger Consideration or cause the Offer Acceptance Time to occur and to effect the Closing (but not the right of the Company to seek such injunctions, specific performance or other equitable remedies for any other reason) shall be subject to the requirements that (A) all Offer Conditions shall have been satisfied or waived (including any deemed satisfaction or waiver of the Offer Conditions pursuant to Section 1.1(c)(iii)(C)(2)) (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Offer Acceptance Time, but subject to the satisfaction of such conditions at the Offer Acceptance Time), (B) the Debt Financing has been funded in accordance with the terms of the Debt Commitment Letters or the Debt Financing Sources have irrevocably confirmed in writing to the Parties that the Debt Financing will be funded in accordance with the terms thereof at the Offer Closing and at the Closing if the Equity Financing is funded at the Offer Closing and at the Closing; provided, that Parent shall not be required to draw down the Equity Financing or consummate the Offer or the Merger, as applicable, if the Debt Financing is not in fact funded at the Offer Closing or the Closing, as applicable, (C) the Company has irrevocably confirmed in writing to Parent that if specific performance is granted and the Financing is funded, then it would take such actions required of it by this Agreement to cause the Offer Closing and the Closing to occur and (D) Purchaser shall have failed to consummate the applicable Transactions within two (2) business days after its receipt of such irrevocable confirmation. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the

contrary, while each of the Parent and the Company may pursue both a grant of specific performance in accordance with (but subject to the limitations of) this Section 9.5(c) and the payment of the Termination Fee or the Parent Termination Fee, as applicable, in no event will Parent or the Company be permitted or entitled to receive both a grant of specific performance under this Section 9.5(c) that results in a Closing and any monetary damages, including all or any portion of the Termination Fee or the Parent Termination Fee, as applicable.

(d) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Parent, on behalf of itself and the Parent Related Parties, and the Company, on behalf of itself and the Company Related Parties, each acknowledges and irrevocably agrees: (i) that any Legal Proceeding, whether at law or in equity, whether based in Contract, tort, Fraud, strict liability, other Legal Requirements or otherwise, against any of the Debt Financing Sources arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Debt Commitment Letters or the performance thereunder shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of any state or federal court sitting in the Borough of Manhattan in the City and State of New York (whether a state or Federal court), and any appellate court from any thereof, (ii) that any Legal Proceeding, whether at law or in equity, whether in contract or in tort or otherwise, against any of the Debt Financing Sources shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York without regard to the conflicts of law rules of such State that would result in the application of the laws of any other State, (iii) not to bring or permit any of their controlled Affiliates to bring or support anyone else in bringing any such Legal Proceeding in any other court, (iv) that the provisions of Section 9.5(f) shall apply to any such legal action, and (v) that the Debt Financing Sources are express third-party beneficiaries of this Section 9.5(d).

(e) The Company covenants and agrees that (i) it shall not institute, and shall cause its Representatives and controlled Affiliates not to institute any Legal Proceeding (whether at law or in equity, whether based in Contract, tort, Fraud, strict liability, other Legal Requirements or otherwise) arising under or in connection with, this Agreement, the Debt Commitment Letters or the Transactions against any of (A) the Debt Financing Sources, (B) any Representative thereof, (C) each of their respective partners, members, stockholders and optionholders (other than, in each case, Parent, Purchaser or the Guarantors (solely if, as and when required pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Limited Guarantee)), (D) the Affiliates of each of the foregoing, and (E) the respective former, current and future directors, officers and managers of any of the foregoing (collectively, the “Debt Related Parties”), and (ii) the Debt Financing Sources and any Debt Related Party shall not have any liability or obligations (whether based in Contract, tort, Fraud, strict liability, other laws or otherwise) to any Company Related Party arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the Debt Commitment Letters or the Transactions.

(f) Each of the Parties irrevocably waives any and all right to trial by jury in any Legal Proceeding between the Parties (whether based on contract, tort or otherwise), including any counterclaim, arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Transactions or the actions of any Party in the negotiation, administration, performance and enforcement of this Agreement or the Transactions (including any such Legal Proceeding involving any Debt Financing Source under the Debt Financing). Each Party: (a) makes this waiver voluntarily; and (b) acknowledges that such Party has been induced to enter into this Agreement by, among other things, the mutual waivers contained in this Section 9.5.

9.6. Assignability. This Agreement shall be binding upon, and shall be enforceable by and inure solely to the benefit of, the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither this Agreement nor any of the rights under this Agreement may be assigned by a Party without the prior written consent of the other Parties, and any attempted assignment of this Agreement or any of such rights without such consent shall be void and of no effect, except that Purchaser may assign all or any portion of its rights or obligations to any of its Debt Financing Sources pursuant to the terms of the Debt Financing for purposes of creating a security interest therein or otherwise assigning as collateral security in respect of the Debt Financing.

9.7. No Third Party Beneficiaries. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any Person (other than the Parties) any right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement, except for: (a) if the Offer Acceptance Time occurs (i) the right of the Company’s stockholders to receive the Offer Price or Merger Consideration, as applicable, (ii) the right of the holders of Company Stock Awards to receive the amounts to which they are entitled pursuant to Section 2.8, and (iii) the rights of the Indemnified Persons under the provisions set forth in Section 6.4 of this Agreement; (b) subject to Section 8.3(d) and Section 8.3(e) and without in any way limiting the Company’s rights under Section 9.5(c), the right of the Company, in its sole discretion and on behalf of its stockholders, to recover and pursue claims for damages and other relief, including equitable relief, for Parent’s or Purchaser’s Willful Breach or Fraud; (c) the limitations on liability of the Company Related Parties and Parent Related Parties set forth in Section 8.3; and (d) with respect to the Debt Financing Sources, the provisions of Section 8.2, Section 8.3(d)(ii), Section 8.3(e)(i), Section 9.1, Section 9.2, Section 9.5(a), Section 9.5(d), Section 9.5(e), Section 9.5(f), Section 9.6 and this Section 9.7, which shall inure to the benefit of the Persons benefiting therefrom who are intended to be third-party beneficiaries thereof.

9.8. Transfer Taxes. Except as otherwise provided in Section 2.6(b), all transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration and other similar Taxes and fees imposed with respect to the transfer of Shares pursuant to the Offer or the Merger shall be borne by the Company, Parent or Purchaser, as applicable, and expressly shall not be a liability of holders of Shares. The Company, Parent or Purchaser, as applicable, shall file or cause to be filed, all Tax Returns with respect to such Taxes.

The corporation shall indemnify to the maximum extent permitted by law any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that he is or was a director or officer of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director or officer of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably

C-8

believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.

Section 2. PROCEEDINGS BROUGHT BY THE CORPORATION. The corporation shall indemnify to the maximum extent permitted by law any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he is or was a director or officer of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director or officer of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and except that no such indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which such court shall deem proper.

Section 3. INDEMNIFICATION AGAINST EXPENSES. To the extent that a director or officer of the corporation shall be successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in Sections 1 and 2 of this Article V, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection therewith.

Any indemnification under Sections 1 and 2 of this Article V (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by the corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the director or officer is proper in the circumstances because he has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Sections 1 and 2 of this Article V. Such determination shall be made (1) by a majority vote of the directors who are not parties to such action, suit or proceeding, even though less than a quorum, or (2) if there are no such directors, or if such directors so direct, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, or (3) by the stockholders. The corporation, acting through its Board of Directors or otherwise, shall cause such determination to be made if so requested by any person who is indemnifiable under this Article V.

Section 6. INDEMNIFICATION OF EXPENSES NOT EXCLUSIVE. The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, the other paragraphs of this Article V shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement,

For the purposes of this Article V, references to “the corporation” shall include, in addition to the resulting corporation, any constituent corporation (including any constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or merger which, if its separate existence had continued, would have had power and authority to indemnify its directors or officers so that any person who is or was a director or officer of such constituent corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such constituent corporation as a director or officer of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, shall stand in the same position under the provisions of this Article V with respect to the resulting or surviving corporation as he would have with respect to such constituent corporation if its separate existence had continued.

Subject to the terms of this Agreement, each Holder irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that, from the date of this Agreement and until the Expiration Time, at every meeting of the stockholders of the Company, however called, with respect to any of the following, and at every adjournment or postponement thereof, and on every action or approval proposed to be taken by written consent of the stockholders of the Company with respect to any of the following, each Holder shall appear at such meeting (in person or by proxy) or otherwise cause the Shares (to the extent that any of the Shares are not purchased in the Offer) to be counted as present for purposes of calculating a quorum and shall vote (or cause to be voted) or deliver a written consent (or cause a written consent to be delivered) covering all of the Shares that such Holder shall be entitled to so vote (to the extent that any of the Shares are not purchased in the Offer), in each case to the fullest extent that such Holder’s Shares are entitled to vote: (a) in favor of (i) the adoption and approval of the Merger Agreement and all other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement (if applicable) and (ii) any proposal to adjourn or postpone the meeting of the stockholders of the Company to a later date if there are not sufficient votes for the adoption and approval of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby (if applicable); (b) against (i) any action, proposal, or agreement that would (or would reasonably be expected to) prevent, impede, interfere with, delay, postpone or adversely affect the Offer, the Merger Agreement or the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, in each case in any material respect, (ii) any change in the present capitalization of the Company or any amendment of the certificate of incorporation of the Company or (iii) any Acquisition Proposal and (c) in favor of any other matter expressly contemplated by the Merger Agreement and necessary for consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, which is considered at any such meeting of the stockholders of the Company. Until such Shares are purchased in the Offer, each Holder shall retain at all times the right to vote the Shares in such Holder’s sole discretion, and without any other limitation, on any matters other than those set forth in this Section 3 that are at any time or from time to time presented for consideration to the Company’s stockholders generally including, but not limited to, voting in favor of the matters set forth in the Company’s definitive Proxy Statement for its 2019 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

(e) To the knowledge of such Holder, there is no Legal Proceeding pending against, or threatened in writing against such Holder that would prevent, delay or impair the consummation by such Holder of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or otherwise impair such Holder’s ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement.

5. Representations and Warranties of Parent and Purchaser. Each of Parent and Purchaser represents and warrants to each Holder as follows:

(a) Each of Parent and Purchaser is duly incorporated and validly existing in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction in which it is incorporated or constituted. The consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are within each of Parent’s and Purchaser’s entity power and have been duly authorized by all necessary entity actions on the part of each of Parent and Purchaser. Each of Parent and Purchaser has all requisite power and authority to execute and deliver, and perform its obligations under, this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(b) This Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by Parent and Purchaser.

D-5

equity (whether applied in a court of law or a court of equity) and by bankruptcy, insolvency, and similar laws affecting creditors’ rights and remedies generally.

(c) The execution and delivery of this Agreement by each of Parent and Purchaser, and the performance by Parent and Purchaser of its respective obligations hereunder, does not violate: (A) any Legal Requirement to which such party is subject; or (B) any charter, bylaw or other organizational document of Parent or Purchaser.

(d) To the knowledge of Parent and Purchaser, there is no Legal Proceeding pending against, or threatened in writing against Parent or Purchaser that would prevent, delay or impair the consummation by Parent or Purchaser of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or otherwise impair its ability to perform its respective obligations hereunder.

6. No Solicitation. From the date of this Agreement and until the Expiration Time, each Holder shall not, and shall direct its Representatives not to: (a) continue any solicitation, knowing encouragement, discussions or negotiations with any Persons that may be ongoing with respect to an Acquisition Proposal; (b) solicit, initiate or knowingly facilitate or knowingly encourage any inquiries regarding, or the making of any proposal or offer that constitutes, or would reasonably be expected to lead to, an Acquisition Proposal; (c) engage in, continue or otherwise participate in any discussions or negotiations regarding, or furnish to any Person (other than Parent, Purchaser or any of their respective designees) any non-public information in connection with or for the purpose of knowingly encouraging or knowingly facilitating, an Acquisition Proposal or any proposal or offer that would reasonably be expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal; or (d) enter into or agree to enter into any letter of intent, acquisition agreement, agreement in principle or similar agreement with respect to an Acquisition Proposal or any proposal or offer that would reasonably be expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal. Without limiting the foregoing, the parties hereby acknowledge and agree that a breach in any material respect of the restrictions in this Section 6 applicable to such Holder by any of such Holder’s Representatives, to the extent acting at such Holder’s direction, shall be deemed to be a breach of this Section 6 by such Holder. Nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit any Holder or any of its Representatives from taking any action that the Company or its Representatives are permitted to take under Section 5.3 of the Merger Agreement.

7. No Exercise of Appraisal Rights; Actions. Each Holder: (a) waives and agrees not to exercise any appraisal rights (including pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL) in respect of such Holder’s Shares that may arise with respect to the Offer and the Merger; (b) agrees not to commence or join in, and agrees to take all actions necessary to opt out of any class in any class action with respect to, any claim, derivative or otherwise, against Parent, Purchaser, the Company or any of their respective successors (i) challenging the validity of, or seeking to enjoin the operation of, any provision of this Agreement (other than in connection with any breach of this Agreement by Parent or Purchaser) or (ii) alleging breach of any fiduciary duty of any Person in connection with the negotiation and entry into the Merger Agreement; and (c) shall notify Parent of any development occurring after the date hereof that, to such Holder’s knowledge, causes any breach of any of the representations and warranties of such Holder set forth in Section 4.

8. Termination. This Agreement shall terminate automatically, and shall have no further force and effect as of the earliest to occur of: (a) the Effective Time; (b) the valid termination of the Merger Agreement; (c) the date of any modification or amendment to, or the waiver of any provision of, the Merger Agreement, as in effect on the date hereof, that reduces the amount, changes the form of consideration payable, or otherwise adversely affects all of the stockholders of the Company in any material respect; (d) the making of a Company Adverse Change Recommendation; or (e) the effectiveness of a written agreement executed by the parties to this Agreement to terminate this Agreement (the earliest of such times, the “Expiration Time”).

Purchaser’s sole right if a Holder fails to provide such certificate shall be to make the appropriate withholding with respect to such Holder to the extent required by Section 1445 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

10. Miscellaneous.

(a) Entire Agreement; Amendments and Waivers. This Agreement, together with Schedule 1 and the other documents and certificates delivered pursuant hereto, constitutes the entire agreement and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among or between any of the parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement. Any provision of this Agreement may be amended or waived if such amendment or waiver is in writing and is signed, in the case of an amendment, by each party to this Agreement or, in the case of a waiver, by each party against whom the waiver is to be effective. No failure or delay by any party in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of such right, power or privilege preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement by any party shall be deemed a waiver of any other provision by such party, nor shall any such waiver be deemed a continuing waiver of any provision by such party. Any amendment or waiver effected in accordance with this Section 10 shall be binding upon the parties and their respective successors and assigns.

(b) Governing Law; Venue. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, regardless of the laws that might otherwise govern under applicable principles of conflicts of laws. In any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, each of the parties: (i) irrevocably and unconditionally consents and submits to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the Delaware Court of Chancery located in Wilmington Delaware and any appellate court therefrom (the “Chosen Courts”); (ii) irrevocably consents to service of process by first class certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, to the address at which such party is to receive notice in accordance with Section 10(f); and (iii) agrees that it will not attempt to deny or defeat such personal jurisdiction by motion or other request for leave from the Chosen Courts. A final non-appealable judgment from the Chosen Courts in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by applicable Legal Requirements.

(c) Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF THE PARTIES IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING BETWEEN THE PARTIES (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE), INCLUDING ANY COUNTERCLAIM, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS. Each party: (i) makes this waiver voluntarily; and (ii) acknowledges that such party has been induced to enter into this Agreement by, among other things, the mutual waivers contained in this Section 10(c).

(d) Counterparts. This Agreement and any amendments may be executed in one or more counterparts, all of which will be considered one and the same agreement. This Agreement and any amendments will become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the parties and delivered to the other parties. Each of the parties also agrees that all parties need not sign the same

D-7

counterpart. Any such counterpart, to the extent delivered by electronic delivery, will be treated in all manner and respects as an original executed counterpart and will be considered to have the same binding legal effect as if it were the original signed version thereof delivered in person. No party may raise the use of an electronic delivery to deliver a signature, or the fact that any signature or agreement or instrument was transmitted or communicated through the use of an electronic delivery, as a defense to the formation of a contract. Each party waives any such defense, except to the extent such defense relates to lack of authenticity.

(e) Titles and Subtitles. The titles and subtitles used in this Agreement are used for convenience only and are not to be considered in construing or interpreting this Agreement.

(f) Notices. Any notice or other communication required or permitted to be delivered to any party under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed properly delivered, given and received: (i) upon receipt when delivered by hand; (ii) two (2) business days after being sent by registered mail or by courier or express delivery service; (iii) if sent by email transmission prior to 6:00 p.m. recipient’s local time, upon transmission when receipt is confirmed; or (iv) if sent by email transmission after 6:00 p.m. recipient’s local time and receipt is confirmed, the business day following the date of transmission, as follows: (A) if to Parent or Purchaser, in accordance with the provisions of the Merger Agreement and (B) if to a Holder, to such Holder’s address, facsimile number or e-mail address set forth on a signature page hereto, or to such other address, facsimile number or e-mail address as such party may hereafter specify in writing for the purpose by notice to each other party hereto.

(g) Severability. If any term or provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any Legal Requirement or public policy, as determined by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, all other terms and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the Transactions are not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the Transactions be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.

(h) Binding Effect and Assignment. This Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of, the respective parties and their permitted successors, assigns, heirs, executors, administrators, and other legal representatives, as the case may be. This Agreement may not be assigned by any party without the prior written consent of the other parties to this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Parent may assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement to any Affiliate of Parent.

(i) No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is not intended, and shall not be deemed, to confer any rights or remedies upon any Person other than the parties to this Agreement and their respective successors and permitted assigns, or otherwise create any third-party beneficiary.

(j) Specific Performance. The parties to this Agreement agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event any provision of this Agreement was not performed in accordance its terms or was otherwise breached. Accordingly, the parties shall be entitled to specific performance as the sole and exclusive remedy for any breach of this Agreement. In furtherance of the grant of specific performance as the sole and exclusive remedy for breaches of this Agreement, the parties agree that the non-breaching party may seek (and the breaching party hereby agrees not to contest the non-breaching party’s ability to obtain) the equitable remedy of injunctive relief including, without limitation, an injunction or injunctions to prevent and enjoin such breaches in the courts specified in Section 10(b). In any Proceeding for specific performance, the parties will waive the defense of adequacy of a remedy at law,

D-8

and the parties waive any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with the remedies referred to in this Section 10(j).

(k) Disclosure. Subject to the terms of this paragraph, each Holder shall permit the Company, Parent and Purchaser to publish and disclose in all documents and schedules filed with the SEC, and any press release or other disclosure document that Parent or Purchaser reasonably determines to be necessary in connection with the Merger and any other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, such Holder’s identity and ownership of Shares and the nature of such Holder’s commitments, arrangements, and understandings under this Agreement. The Company, Parent or Purchaser, as applicable, shall give the Holders reasonable advance notice prior to any such disclosure or publication and provide at the same time a copy of any such disclosure or publication to the Holders to the extent reasonably practicable and permitted by applicable Law. Each of Parent and Purchaser shall accept all reasonable comments provided by the Holder with respect to any such disclosure or publication. Each Holder acknowledges that, subject to the terms of this paragraph, Parent and Purchaser may, in Parent’s sole discretion, file this Agreement or a form hereof with the SEC or any other Governmental Body. Each Holder agrees to promptly notify Parent of any required corrections with respect to any written information supplied by it specifically for use in any such disclosure document, if and to the extent that such Holder shall become aware that any such information shall have become false or misleading in any material respect. Except as required by applicable Legal Requirements, no Holder shall make any public announcement regarding this Agreement, the Merger Agreement or the Transactions without the prior written consent of Parent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit any Holder from amending any Schedule 13D or Schedule 13G in respect of this Agreement.

(l) No Agreement Until Executed. Irrespective of negotiations among the parties or the exchanging of drafts of this Agreement, this Agreement shall not constitute or be deemed to evidence a contract, agreement, arrangement or understanding between the parties to this Agreement unless and until: (i) the Merger Agreement is executed by all parties to the Merger Agreement; and (ii) this Agreement is executed by all parties to this Agreement.

(m) Directors and Officers. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, nothing in this Agreement shall limit or restrict a Holder, or any affiliate, employee or designee of a Holder, who is a director or officer of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries from acting in such capacity or fulfilling the obligations of such office, including by voting, in his or her capacity as a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries’, in the Holder’s, or its affiliate’s, employee’s or designee’s, sole discretion on any matter. In this regard, a Holder shall not be deemed to make any agreement or understanding in this Agreement in such Holder’s capacity as a director or officer of the Company. Each Holder is executing this Agreement solely in the Holder’s capacity as a record or beneficial holder of Shares.

(n) Non-Recourse. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or otherwise, this Agreement may only be enforced against, and any claims or causes of action that may be based upon, arise out of or relate to the non-performance this Agreement, or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement, may only be made against the entities and persons that are expressly identified as parties in their capacities as such. No former, current or future stockholders, equity holders, controlling persons, directors, officers, employees, general or limited partners, members, managers, agents or affiliates (other than the parties to the Merger Agreement) of any party to this Agreement, or any former, current or future direct or indirect stockholder, equity holder, controlling person, director, officer, employee, general or limited partner, member, manager, agent or affiliate of any of the foregoing (each, a “Non-Recourse Party”) shall have any liability for any obligations or liabilities of the parties or for any claim (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) based on, in respect of, or by reason of, this Agreement or in respect of any representations made or alleged to be made in connection with this

D-9

Agreement. Without limiting the rights of any party against the other parties to this Agreement, in no event shall any party or any of its affiliates seek to enforce this Agreement against, or make any claims for breach of this Agreement against, any Non-Recourse Party. Nothing in this Agreement precludes the parties or any Non-Recourse Parties from exercising any rights, and nothing in this Agreement shall limit the liability or obligations of any Non-Recourse Party, in each case under the Merger Agreement or any other agreement to which they are specifically a party or an express third party beneficiary thereof. This Section 10(n) is subject to, and does not alter the scope or application of, Section 10(j).

(o) Expenses. All fees and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the Transactions shall be paid by the party incurring such expenses, whether or not the Offer or the Merger is consummated.

(p) No Ownership Interest. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to vest in Parent or Purchaser any direct or indirect ownership or incidence of ownership of or with respect to the Shares. All rights, ownership and economic benefits of and relating to the Shares shall remain vested in and belong to each applicable Holder. Neither Parent nor Purchaser shall have any authority to manage, direct, restrict, regulate, govern, or administer any of the policies or operations of the Company or exercise any power or authority to direct such Holder in the voting of any of the Shares, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement.

(q) Holder Obligations Several and Not Joint. The obligations of each Holder hereunder shall be several and not joint, and no Holder shall be liable for any breach of the terms of this Agreement by any other Holder.

(r) Mutual Drafting. Each party has participated in the drafting of this Agreement, which each party acknowledges is the result of extensive negotiations between the parties. Accordingly, in the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties, and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any provisions of this Agreement.

(s) Further Assurances. Parent, Purchaser and each Holder will execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, all further documents and instruments necessary under applicable Legal Requirements, to perform their respective obligations under this Agreement.
