AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER

This is an AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER (this “Agreement”), dated as of July 29, 2013, by and among Xxxxxxx Xxxxx Corporation, a Pennsylvania corporation (the “Company”), Integrated Mission Solutions, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Parent”), and Project Steel Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned Subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”). Capitalized terms used in this Agreement and not defined where first used have the respective meanings ascribed to them in Annex A.

The parties to this Agreement intend that, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, Merger Sub be merged with and into the Company, with the Company surviving the Merger as a wholly owned Subsidiary of Parent (the “Merger”). To this end, Merger Sub has agreed to commence a tender offer (as it may be amended from time to time as permitted by this Agreement, the “Offer”) to purchase all of the outstanding shares of Common Stock at a price per share of $40.50 (such amount, or any greater amount per share paid pursuant to the Offer and this Agreement, the “Offer Price”), net to the seller in cash, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein.

The Board of Directors of the Company has, by resolutions duly adopted, (i) determined that this Agreement, the Offer, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement are advisable and are fair to the Company’s shareholders and in the best interests of the Company, (ii) approved this Agreement, the Offer, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (iii) recommended that the holders of shares of Common Stock accept the Offer and tender their shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Offer, (iv) proposed the Merger in accordance with Section 1922 of the PBCL by adopting a resolution approving this Agreement as a plan of merger for the purposes of Section 1922 of the PBCL, (v) directed that, if required pursuant to this Agreement, this Agreement be submitted to a vote at a meeting of the Company’s shareholders entitled to vote hereon and (vi) recommended that the Company’s shareholders entitled to vote hereon approve this Agreement (including approval of this Agreement by the shareholders entitled to vote thereon so that this Agreement is adopted for the purposes of Section 1924 of the PBCL) at any meeting of the Company’s shareholders held for such purpose.

The Board of Directors of each of Parent and Merger Sub has approved this Agreement, the Offer, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Concurrent with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, Parent, Merger Sub, and certain other of their Affiliates that beneficially own in the aggregate 498,121 shares of Common Stock, are executing and delivering a Facilitation Agreement with respect to certain matters relating to the Offer, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

The Company, Parent and Merger Sub, in consideration of the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement, agree as follows:

ARTICLE 1

THE OFFER AND THE MERGER

Section 1.01. The Offer.

(a) On or prior to August 30, 2013, Merger Sub shall (and Parent shall cause Merger Sub to) commence (within the meaning of Rule 14d-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Exchange Act”)) the Offer.

(b) The obligation and right of Merger Sub to accept for payment and pay for any shares of Common Stock validly tendered and not validly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer shall be subject to: (i) there being validly tendered in the Offer (and not validly withdrawn) prior to any then scheduled Expiration Time that number of shares of Common Stock which, together with the shares beneficially owned by Parent or Merger Sub, represents at least a majority of the Common Stock then outstanding (determined on a fully diluted basis (which assumes conversion or exercise of all derivative securities regardless of the conversion or exercise price, the vesting schedule or other terms and conditions thereof)) (the “Minimum Condition”), and (ii) the satisfaction, or waiver by Parent or Merger Sub (to the extent permitted hereby), of the other conditions and requirements set forth in Exhibit A (together with the Minimum Condition, the “Offer Conditions”). Subject to the prior satisfaction of the Minimum Condition and the satisfaction, or waiver by Parent or Merger Sub, of the other Offer Conditions, Merger Sub shall (and Parent shall cause Merger Sub to) consummate the Offer in accordance with its terms and accept for payment and pay for all shares of Common Stock validly tendered and not validly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer as promptly as practicable after the Expiration Time. The conditions to the Offer set forth in Exhibit A are for the sole benefit of Parent and Merger Sub and may be asserted by Parent or Merger Sub regardless of the circumstances (including any action or inaction by Parent or Merger Sub, provided that nothing therein shall relieve any party hereto from any obligation or liability such party has under this Agreement) giving rise to such condition or may be waived by Parent or Merger Sub, in their sole discretion, in whole or in part at any time and from time to time, subject to this Section 1.01. The Offer Price payable in respect of each share of Common Stock validly tendered and not validly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer shall be paid net to the seller in cash, without interest, subject to any withholding of Taxes pursuant to Section 4.02(i).

(c) The Offer shall be made by means of an offer to purchase (the “Offer to Purchase”) that includes the terms and conditions of the Offer as set forth in this Agreement, including the Offer Conditions. Parent and Merger Sub reserve the right to waive, in whole or in part, any Offer Condition (other than the Minimum Condition), to increase the Offer Price or to make any other changes in the terms and conditions of the Offer; provided, however, that unless otherwise provided by this Agreement or as previously approved in writing by the Company, Merger Sub shall not (i) reduce the number of shares of Common Stock subject to the Offer, (ii) reduce the Offer Price, (iii) change, modify or waive the Minimum Condition, (iv) add to the conditions set forth in Exhibit A or modify or change any Offer Condition in a manner adverse to any shareholders of the Company, (v) except as otherwise provided in this Section 1.01, extend or otherwise change the expiration date of the Offer, (vi) change the form of consideration payable in the Offer or (vii) otherwise amend, modify or supplement any of the terms of the Offer in a manner adverse to any shareholder of the Company.

(d) The Offer shall expire at midnight (New York City, New York time) on the date that is 20 Business Days following the commencement (within the meaning of Rule 14d-2 under the Exchange Act) of the Offer (the “Initial Expiration Time”) or, in the event the Initial Expiration Time has been extended pursuant to this Agreement, the date and time to which the Offer has been so extended (the Initial Expiration Time, or such later date and time to which the Initial Expiration Time has been extended pursuant to this Agreement, is referred to as the “Expiration Time”).

(e) Unless this Agreement has been terminated in accordance with its terms: (i) if on or prior to any then scheduled Expiration Time, all of the conditions to the Offer (including the Minimum Condition and the other Offer Conditions) have not been satisfied or, to the extent waivable by Parent or Merger Sub pursuant to this Agreement, waived by Parent or Merger Sub, then Merger Sub (A) may (and in such case Parent shall cause Merger Sub to) extend the Offer for successive periods of up to ten Business Days each (or such longer period of up to 20 Business Days if the Company consents in writing prior to such extension), the length of each such period to be determined by Parent in its sole discretion, in order to permit the satisfaction of such conditions; and (B) shall (and Parent shall cause Merger Sub to) extend the Offer on one occasion for a period of up to seven Business Days if requested by the Company; (ii) Merger Sub may (and in such case Parent shall cause Merger Sub to) extend the Offer on one occasion at the Initial Expiration Time for a period of up to ten Business Days if the Debt Financing or Alternative Financing has not actually been received by Merger Sub or Parent, and the Debt Financing Sources have not definitively and irrevocably confirmed in writing to Parent and Merger Sub that the Debt Financing (or Alternative Financing) in an amount sufficient (together with the Equity Financing and cash available to the Company) to consummate the Offer and the Merger shall be available at the Offer Closing on the terms set forth in the Debt Financing Letter and subject only to the satisfaction of the Offer Conditions (and contribution by Parent or Merger Sub of the proceeds of the Equity Financing); and (iii) Merger Sub shall (and Parent shall cause Merger Sub to) extend the Offer for any period or periods required by applicable Law or applicable rules, regulations, interpretations or positions of the Securities and Exchange Commission or its staff (the “SEC”); provided, however, that, in any case in this Section 1.01(e), Merger Sub shall not be required to extend the Offer beyond November 29, 2013 (the “Outside Date”) and shall not be permitted to extend the Offer beyond the Outside Date without the Company’s consent.

(f) On the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, Merger Sub shall, and Parent shall cause Merger Sub to, accept and pay for (subject to any withholding of tax pursuant to Section 4.02(i)) all shares of Common Stock validly tendered and not validly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer as promptly as practicable after the Expiration Time (as it may be extended and re-extended in accordance with this Section 1.01). Acceptance for payment of shares of Common Stock pursuant to and subject to the Offer Conditions upon the Expiration Time is referred to in this Agreement as the “Offer Closing,” and the date on which the Offer Closing occurs is referred to in this Agreement as the “Offer Closing Date.” Merger Sub expressly reserves the right to, in its sole discretion, following the Offer Closing, extend the Offer for a “subsequent offering period” (and one or more extensions thereof) in accordance with Rule 14d-11 under the Exchange Act, and the Offer Documents (as defined below) may, in Merger Sub’s sole discretion, provide for such a reservation of right. Nothing contained in this Section 1.01 shall affect any termination rights in Article 9.

(g) Merger Sub shall not terminate the Offer prior to any scheduled Expiration Time without the prior written consent of the Company, except in the event that this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Article 9. If the Offer is terminated or withdrawn by Merger Sub in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, or if this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Article 9, prior to the acceptance for payment of the Common Stock tendered in the Offer, Merger Sub shall promptly return, and shall cause any depository acting on behalf of Merger Sub to return, in accordance with applicable Law, all tendered Common Stock to the registered holders thereof.

(h) As soon as practicable on the date of the commencement of the Offer, Parent and Merger Sub shall file with the SEC a Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO with respect to the Offer (together with all amendments, supplements and exhibits thereto, the “Schedule TO”). The Schedule TO shall include, as exhibits, the Offer to Purchase and a form of letter of transmittal and summary advertisement, if any (such Schedule TO and the documents included therein pursuant to which the Offer shall be made, together with any amendments and supplements thereto, the “Offer Documents”). The Company shall promptly furnish to Parent and Merger Sub all information concerning the Company required by the Exchange Act to be set forth in the Offer Documents. Parent and Merger Sub agree to take all steps necessary to cause the Offer Documents to be filed with the SEC and disseminated to the shareholders of the Company, in each case as and to the extent required by the Exchange Act. Parent and Merger Sub, on the one hand, and the Company, on the other hand, agree to promptly correct any material information provided by it for use in the Offer Documents if and to the extent that such information shall have become false or misleading in any material respect or as otherwise required by applicable Law. Parent and Merger Sub further agree to take all steps necessary to cause the Offer Documents, as so corrected (if applicable), to be filed with the SEC and disseminated to the shareholders of the Company, in each case as and to the extent required by the Exchange Act. Parent and Merger Sub shall promptly notify the Company upon the receipt of any comments from the SEC, or any request from the SEC for amendments or supplements, to the Offer Documents, and shall promptly provide the Company with copies of all correspondence between them and their representatives, on the one hand, and the SEC, on the other hand. Prior to the filing of the Offer Documents (including any amendments or supplements thereto) with the SEC or dissemination thereof to the shareholders of the Company, or responding to any comments of the SEC with respect to the Offer Documents, Parent and Merger Sub shall provide the Company and its counsel a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such Offer Documents or response, and Parent and Merger Sub shall give reasonable consideration to any such comments.

(i) Parent shall provide or cause to be provided to Merger Sub, on a timely basis, the funds necessary to pay for any shares of Common Stock that Merger Sub becomes obligated to accept for payment, and pay for, pursuant to the Offer.

Section 1.02. Company Actions.

(a) On the date the Offer Documents are filed with the SEC, the Company shall file with the SEC a Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9 with respect to the Offer (together with all amendments, supplements and exhibits thereto, the “Schedule 14D-9”) that shall, subject to the terms hereof, including the provisions of Section 7.02, contain the Company Recommendation. The Company agrees to take all steps necessary to cause the Schedule 14D-9 to be prepared and filed with the SEC and disseminated to the shareholders of the Company, in each case as and to the extent required by the Exchange Act. Parent and Merger Sub shall promptly furnish to the Company all information concerning Parent and Merger Sub required by the Exchange Act to be set forth in the Schedule 14D-9. The Company, on the one hand, and Parent and Merger Sub, on the other hand, agree to promptly correct any material information provided by it for use in the Schedule 14D-9 if and to the extent that such information shall have become false or misleading in any material respect or as otherwise required by applicable Law. The Company further agrees to take all steps necessary to cause the Schedule 14D-9, as so corrected (if applicable), to be filed with the SEC and disseminated to the shareholders of the Company, in each case as and to the extent required by the Exchange Act. The Company shall promptly notify Parent and Merger Sub upon the receipt of any comments from the SEC, or any request from the SEC for amendments or supplements, to the Schedule 14D-9, and shall promptly provide Parent and Merger Sub with copies of all correspondence between the Company and its representatives, on the one hand, and the SEC, on the other hand. Prior to the filing of the Schedule 14D-9 (including any amendments or supplements thereto) with the SEC or dissemination thereof to the shareholders of the Company, or responding to any comments of the SEC with respect to the Schedule 14D-9, the Company shall provide Parent, Merger Sub and their counsel a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such Schedule 14D-9 or response, and the Company shall give reasonable consideration to any such comments. The Company hereby consents to the inclusion in the Offer Documents of the Company Recommendation contained in the Schedule 14D-9.

(b) In connection with the Offer, the Company shall promptly furnish or cause to be furnished to Parent and Merger Sub or their agents mailing labels, security position listings, nonobjecting beneficial owner lists and any other available listings or computer files containing the names and addresses of the record holders or beneficial owners of the shares of Common Stock as of the most recent practicable date, and shall promptly furnish Parent and Merger Sub with such information and assistance (including updated lists of record holders or beneficial owners of the shares of Common Stock, from time to time upon Parent’s, Merger Sub’s or either of their respective agents’ request, and the addresses, mailing labels and lists of security positions of such record holders or beneficial owners) as Parent, Merger Sub or their agents may reasonably request for the purpose of communicating the Offer and the Offer Documents to the record holders and beneficial owners of the shares of Common Stock. Subject to the requirements of applicable Law, and except for such steps as are necessary to disseminate the Offer Documents and any other documents necessary to consummate the Offer, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby, Parent and Merger Sub shall hold in confidence the information contained in any such labels, listings and files in accordance with the Confidentiality Agreement and shall use such information only in connection with the Offer and the Merger and, if this Agreement shall be terminated, shall promptly deliver (and shall use their respective reasonable best efforts to cause their agents and Representatives to deliver) to the Company or shall destroy all copies and any extract or summaries of such information then in their possession or control. Each of Parent and Merger Sub hereby join and agree to be bound as the “Receiving Party” under the Confidentiality Agreement as fully as if originally party thereto. In addition, in connection with the Offer, the Company shall cause its Representatives to cooperate with Parent and Merger Sub to disseminate the Offer Documents to holders of shares of Common Stock held in or subject to any Company Benefit Plan, and to permit such holders of shares of Common Stock to tender such shares of Common Stock in the Offer, to the extent permitted by applicable Law and the applicable Company Benefit Plan.

Section 1.03. Board of Directors Prior to the Effective Time.

(a) Effective upon the Offer Closing and from time to time thereafter, Parent shall be entitled to designate the number of directors, rounded up to the next whole number, on the Board of Directors of the Company that equals the product of (i) the total number of directors on the Board of Directors of the Company (giving effect to the election of any additional directors pursuant to this Section 1.03) and (ii) the percentage (rounding down to the next whole number) that the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by Parent and/or Merger Sub (including shares accepted for payment) bears to the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding, and the Company shall cause Parent’s designees to be elected or appointed to the Board of Directors of the Company, including by promptly increasing the number of directors (included by amending the by-laws if necessary to increase the size of the Board of Directors of the Company) or securing resignations of incumbent directors. At such time, the Company shall also cause individuals designated by Parent to constitute the number of members, rounded up to the next whole number, on (A) each committee of the Board of Directors of the Company and (B) as requested by Parent, each board of directors of each Subsidiary of the Company (and each committee thereof) that represents the same percentage as such individuals represent on the Board of Directors of the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, until the Effective Time, the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to ensure that not less than three persons who are directors on the date hereof shall remain members of the Board of Directors of the Company until the Effective Time.

(b) The Company’s obligations to appoint Parent’s designees to the Board of Directors of the Company shall be subject to Section 14(f) of the Exchange Act and Rule 14f-1 promulgated thereunder. The Company shall promptly take all actions reasonably necessary to effect the appointment of Parent’s designees, including mailing to its shareholders information with respect to the Company and its officers and directors, as Section 14(f) and Rule 14f-1 require in order to fulfill its obligations under this Section 1.03(b), which, unless Parent otherwise elects, shall be mailed together with the Schedule 14D-9. Parent shall supply to the Company in writing and be solely responsible for any information with respect to itself and its nominees, officers, directors and affiliates required by Section 14(f) and Rule 14f-1 and the Company’s obligations under Section 1.03(a) hereof shall be subject to the receipt of such information.

(c) Following the election or appointment of Parent’s designees pursuant to Section 1.03(a) and until the Effective Time (as defined in Section 2.03 hereof), the approval of a majority of the directors of the Company then in office who were not designated by Parent (the “Independent Directors”) shall be required to authorize (and such authorization shall constitute the authorization of the Board of Directors of the Company and no other action on the part of the Company, including any action by any other director of the Company, shall be required to authorize) (i) any termination of this Agreement by the Company, (ii) any amendment of this Agreement requiring action by the Board of Directors of the Company, (iii) any amendment to the Company’s articles of incorporation and by-laws, (iv) any extension of time for performance of any obligation or action hereunder by Parent or Merger Sub and (v) any waiver of compliance with, or enforcement by the Company of, any of the agreements or conditions contained herein for the benefit of the Company.

Section 1.04. Top-Up Option.

(a) The Company hereby grants to Merger Sub an irrevocable option (the “Top-Up Option”), exercisable only on the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 1.04, to purchase at a price per share equal to the Offer Price paid in the Offer that number of newly issued shares of Common Stock (the “Top-Up Shares”) equal to the lowest number of shares of Common Stock that, when added to the number of shares of Common Stock owned by Parent and its Subsidiaries at the time of exercise of the Top-Up Option, shall constitute one share more than 80% of the shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after the issuance of the Top-Up Shares on a fully diluted basis (which assumes conversion or exercise of all derivative securities regardless of the conversion or exercise price, the vesting schedule or other terms and conditions thereof). Upon Parent’s request, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause its transfer agent to certify in writing to Parent the number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding as of immediately prior to the exercise of the Top-Up Option and after giving effect to the issuance of the Top-Up Shares. The Top-Up Option shall be exercisable only once, in whole but not in part, at any time following the Offer Closing and prior to the earlier to occur of (A) the Effective Time and (B) the termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms.

(b) In the event Merger Sub wishes to exercise the Top-Up Option, Merger Sub shall deliver to the Company written notice (the “Top-Up Notice”), specifying (i) the number of shares of Common Stock owned by Parent and its Subsidiaries at the time of such notice (giving effect to the Offer Closing) and (ii) a place and a time for the closing of such purchase. The Company shall, as soon as practicable following receipt of the Top-Up Notice, deliver written notice to Merger Sub specifying, based on the information provided by Merger Sub in its notice, the number of Top-Up Shares to be purchased by Merger Sub. At the closing of the purchase of Top-Up Shares, the aggregate purchase price owed by Merger Sub to the Company for the Top-Up Shares shall be paid to the Company at Parent’s election, either (i) entirely in cash, by wire transfer of same-day funds or (ii) by (A) paying in cash by wire transfer of same-day funds an amount equal to not less than the aggregate par value of the Top-Up Shares and (B) issuing to the Company a promissory note having a principal amount equal to the aggregate purchase price pursuant to the Top-Up Option less the amount paid in cash pursuant to the preceding clause (A) (the “Promissory Note”). The Promissory Note (i) shall bear simple interest at a rate of five percent (5%) per annum, payable in arrears at maturity, (ii) shall mature on the first anniversary of the date of execution of the Promissory Note, (iii) shall be full recourse to Parent and Merger Sub, (iv) may be prepaid, at any time, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty, and (v) shall have no other material terms. The Company shall cause to be issued to Merger Sub a certificate representing the Top-Up Shares or, if the Company does not then have certificated shares, the applicable number of Book-Entry Shares. Such certificates or Book-Entry Shares may include any legends that are required by federal or state securities Laws. The parties hereto agree to use their reasonable best efforts to cause the closing of the purchase of the Top-Up Shares to occur on the same day that the Top-Up Notice is deemed received by the Company pursuant to Section 10.07, and if not so consummated on such day, as promptly thereafter as possible.

(c) Parent and Merger Sub acknowledge that no Top-Up Shares issued upon exercise of the Top-Up Option will be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (together, the “Securities Act”) and that all such shares will be issued in reliance upon an applicable exemption from registration under the Securities Act. Each of Parent and Merger Sub hereby represents and warrants to the Company that Merger Sub is, and will be, upon the purchase of the Top-Up Shares, an “accredited investor,” as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D under the Securities Act. Merger Sub agrees that the Top-Up Option and the Top-Up Shares to be acquired upon exercise of the Top-Up Option are being and will be acquired by Merger Sub for the purpose of investment and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any distribution thereof (within the meaning of the Securities Act).

(d) Any dilutive impact on the value of the shares of Common Stock as a result of the issuance of the Top-Up Shares shall not be taken into account in any determination of the fair value of any Dissenting Shares pursuant to Subchapter D of Chapter 15 of the PBCL as contemplated by Section 4.01(d).

Section 1.05. The Merger. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement and in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Pennsylvania Business Corporation Law of 1988 as amended (the “PBCL”), at the Effective Time, Merger Sub shall be merged with and into the Company and the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub shall thereupon cease. The Company shall be the surviving corporation in the Merger (the “Surviving Corporation”) and shall continue its corporate existence under Pennsylvania law as a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent.

Section 1.06. Closing. The closing of the Merger (the “Closing”) shall take place at the offices of K&L Gates LLP, 000 Xxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx, XX 00000 at 10:00 a.m. (New York City, New York time) on a date to be specified by the parties which shall be no later than the second Business Day following the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Article 8 (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver of those conditions) (“Closing Date”), or at such other place, date and time as the Company and Parent may agree in writing.

Section 1.07. Effective Time. As soon as practicable following the Closing, the parties shall properly file with the Department of State of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania articles of merger providing for the Merger (the “Articles of Merger”) in such form as is required by, and executed and acknowledged in accordance with, the relevant provisions of the PBCL. The Merger shall become effective at such date and time as the Articles of Merger are duly filed with the Department of State of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania or, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, at such subsequent date and time as Parent and the Company shall agree and specify in the Articles of Merger. The date and time at which the Merger becomes effective is referred to in this Agreement as the “Effective Time.”

Section 1.08. Effects of the Merger. The Merger shall have the effects specified in this Agreement and as set forth in Section 1929 of the PBCL. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and subject thereto, after the Effective Time, all property, rights privileges, immunities, powers, franchises, licenses and authority of the Company and Merger Sub shall vest in the Surviving Corporation, and all debts, liabilities, obligations, restrictions and duties of each of the Company and Merger Sub shall become the debts, liabilities, obligations, restrictions and duties of the Surviving Corporation. At and after the Effective Time, the officers and directors of the Surviving Corporation shall be authorized to execute and deliver, in the name and on behalf of the Company, its Subsidiaries or Merger Sub, any deeds, bills of sale, assignments or assurances and to take and do, in the name and on behalf of the Company, its Subsidiaries or Merger Sub, any other actions and things to vest, perfect or confirm of record or otherwise in the Surviving Corporation any and all right, title and interest in, to and under any of the rights, properties and assets of the Company, its Subsidiaries and Merger Sub.

CONVERSION OF SECURITIES

Section 4.01. Conversion of Capital Stock. At the Effective Time, as a result of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder of any securities of the Company, Parent or Merger Sub:

(a) The Company.

(i) Cancellation of Certain Common Stock. Each share of Common Stock that is owned by Parent, Merger Sub or the Company (as treasury stock or otherwise) or any of their respective direct or indirect wholly-owned Subsidiaries shall automatically be cancelled and retired and shall cease to exist, and no consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefore.

(ii) Conversion of Remaining Common Stock. Each share of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (but excluding (x) shares to be cancelled and retired in accordance with Section 4.01(a)(i) and (y) Dissenting Shares) (each a “Share” or, collectively, the “Shares”) shall be converted into the right to receive the Offer Price in cash per Share (the “Merger Consideration”), without interest. At the Effective Time, all of the Shares shall cease to be outstanding, shall be cancelled and shall cease to exist, and each certificate (a “Certificate”, it being understood that any references herein to a “Certificate” or “Certificates” shall be deemed to include references, as applicable, to book-entry account statements relating to the ownership of Shares where appropriate) formerly representing any of the Shares shall thereafter represent only the right to receive the Merger Consideration for each such Share, without interest.

(b) Merger Sub. Each share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and become, in the aggregate, 10 validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Surviving Corporation with the same rights, powers and privileges as the shares so converted and shall constitute the only outstanding shares of capital stock of the Surviving Corporation. From and after the Effective Time, all certificates representing the common stock of Merger Sub shall be deemed for all purposes to represent the number of shares of common stock of the Surviving Corporation into which they were converted in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence.

(c) Adjustments. If at any time during the period between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time, any change in the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company shall occur as a result of any reclassification, recapitalization, stock split (including a reverse stock split) or combination, exchange or readjustment of shares, or any stock dividend or stock distribution is declared with a record date during such period, the Merger Consideration shall be equitably adjusted to reflect such change.

(d) Dissenting Shares. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, including Section 4.01(a), shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than shares cancelled in accordance with Section 4.01(a)(i)) and held by a record holder or beneficial owner who has not voted in favor of adoption of this Agreement or consented thereto in writing and who is statutorily entitled to exercise appraisal rights and who duly complies with all provisions of the PBCL concerning the right of holders of Common Stock to dissent from the Merger and seek appraisal of their shares (such shares of Common Stock being referred to collectively as the “Dissenting Shares” until such time as such holder fails to perfect or otherwise loses such holder’s dissenters rights under the PBCL with respect to such shares) shall not be converted into a right to receive the Merger Consideration, but instead shall be entitled to only such rights as are granted by Subchapter D of Chapter 15 of the PBCL; provided, however, that if, after the Effective Time, such holder fails to perfect, withdraws or loses such holder’s right to dissenters pursuant to Subchapter D of Chapter 15 of the PBCL or if a court of competent jurisdiction shall determine that such holder is not entitled to the relief provided by Subchapter D of Chapter 15 of the PBCL, such shares of Common Stock shall be treated as if they had been converted as of the Effective Time into the right to receive the Merger Consideration in accordance with Section 4.01(a)(ii), without interest thereon, upon surrender of such Certificate formerly representing such share. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 4.01(a)(ii), if the Merger is rescinded or abandoned prior to the Effective Time, then the right of any shareholder to be paid the fair value of such shareholder’s Dissenting Shares pursuant to Subchapter D of Chapter 15 of the PBCL shall cease. The Company shall provide Parent prompt written notice of any demands received by the Company for appraisal of shares of Common Stock, any withdrawal of any such demand and any other demand, notice or instrument delivered to the Company prior to the Effective Time pursuant to the PBCL that relates to such demand, and Parent shall have the opportunity and right to direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demands. Except with the prior written consent of Parent, the Company shall not make any payment with respect to, or settle or offer to settle, any such demands.

Section 4.02. Exchange of Certificates.

(a) Exchange Agent. Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall appoint a U.S. bank or trust company reasonably acceptable to the Company (the “Exchange Agent”), pursuant to an agreement customary in form and substance, for the purpose of exchanging the Merger Consideration for (i) the Certificates or (ii) subject to Section 4.03, uncertificated Shares (the “Uncertificated Shares”).

(b) Deposit of Funds. Prior to or concurrent with the Effective Time, Parent shall deposit, or shall cause to be deposited, with the Exchange Agent, in trust for the benefit of holders of the Shares, the cash in U.S. dollars sufficient to pay the aggregate Merger Consideration in exchange for all Shares outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (such cash referred to being hereinafter referred to as the “Exchange Fund”).

(c) Letter of Transmittal. Promptly after the Effective Time, Parent shall send, or shall cause the Exchange Agent to send, to each holder of Shares at the Effective Time a letter of transmittal and instructions for use in such exchange (the “Letter of Transmittal”). The Letter of Transmittal shall be in a form mutually agreed upon by Parent, the Company and the Exchange Agent, and shall specify that the delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title shall pass, only upon proper delivery of the Certificates or transfer of the Uncertificated Shares to the Exchange Agent.

(d) Payment for Shares. Each holder of Shares that have been converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration shall be entitled to receive, upon (i) surrender to the Exchange Agent of a Certificate, together with a properly completed letter of transmittal, or (ii) receipt of an “agent’s message” by the Exchange Agent (or such other evidence, if any, of transfer as the Exchange Agent may reasonably request) in the case of a book-entry transfer of Uncertificated Shares, the Merger Consideration in respect of the Shares represented by a Certificate or Uncertificated Share. Until so surrendered or transferred, as the case may be, each such Certificate or Uncertificated Share shall represent after the Effective Time for all purposes only the right to receive such Merger Consideration.

(e) Payment Other Than to Record Holder. If any portion of the Merger Consideration is to be paid to a Person other than the Person in whose name the surrendered Certificate or the transferred Uncertificated Share is registered, it shall be a condition to such payment that (i) either such Certificate shall be properly endorsed or shall otherwise be in proper form for transfer or such Uncertificated Share shall be properly transferred and (ii) the Person requesting such payment shall pay to the Exchange Agent any transfer, documentary, stamp or similar taxes required as a result of such payment to a Person other than the registered holder of such Certificate or Uncertificated Share or establish to the satisfaction of the Exchange Agent that such tax has been paid or is not payable.

(f) Closing of Transfer Books. After the Effective Time, there shall be no further registration of transfers of Shares. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates or Uncertificated Shares are presented to the Surviving Corporation or the Exchange Agent, they shall be canceled and exchanged for the Merger Consideration provided for, and in accordance with the procedures set forth, in this Article 4.

(g) Reversion; Escheat. Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains unclaimed by the holders of Shares one year after the Effective Time shall be returned to Parent, upon demand, and any such holder who has not exchanged Shares for the Merger Consideration in accordance with this Section 4.02 prior to that time shall thereafter look only to Parent for payment of the Merger Consideration in respect of such Shares without any interest thereon. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Parent shall not be liable to any holder of Shares for any amounts paid to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Laws. Any amounts remaining unclaimed by holders of Shares immediately prior to such time when the amounts would otherwise escheat to or become property of any Governmental Entity shall become, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, the property of Parent free and clear of any claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.

(h) Investment of Exchange Fund. The Exchange Agent shall invest any cash in the Exchange Fund as directed by Parent; provided, however, that any investment of such cash shall in all events be limited to direct short-term obligations of, or short-term obligations fully guaranteed as to principal and interest by, the U.S. government, in commercial paper rated A-1 or P-1 or better by Xxxxx’x Investors Service, Inc. or Standard & Poor’s Corporation, respectively, or in certificates of deposit, bank repurchase agreements or banker’s acceptances of commercial banks with capital exceeding $25 billion (based on the most recent financial statements of such bank that are then publicly available), and that no such investment or loss thereon shall affect the amounts payable pursuant to this Agreement. Any interest and other income resulting from such investments shall be paid to Parent. In the event the Exchange Fund shall be insufficient to make the payments contemplated by this Agreement, Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, promptly deposit additional funds with the Exchange Agent in an amount which is equal to the deficiency in the amount required to make such payment. The Exchange Fund shall not be used for any purpose that is not expressly provided for in this Agreement.

(i) Withholding. Each of the Exchange Agent, Parent, Merger Sub and the Surviving Corporation and their respective agents shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to the Offer or under this Agreement to any holder of shares of Common Stock, and any amounts payable as described under Section 4.03, such amounts as are required to be withheld or deducted under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”) or any provision of applicable Federal, state, local or foreign Tax Law with respect to the making of such payment. To the extent that amounts are so withheld or deducted and paid over to the applicable Governmental Entity, such withheld or deducted amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder the shares of Common Stock, Company Stock Options, Company Stock-Based Awards or Company Cash-Based Awards, as applicable, in respect of which such deduction and withholding were made.

(j) Lost Certificates. In the case of any Certificate that has been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by the Surviving Corporation, the posting by such person of a bond in customary amount as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, the Exchange Agent shall issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate a check in the amount of the number of Shares represented by such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate multiplied by the Merger Consideration.

Section 4.03. Company Stock Options; Company Stock-Based Awards; Company Cash-Based Awards; Company ESPP.

(a) Company Stock Options. Immediately prior to the Effective Time, each then-outstanding option to purchase shares of Common Stock (a “Company Stock Option”) granted under the Xxxxxxx Xxxxx Corporation Long-Term Incentive Plan and the Xxxxxxx Xxxxx Corporation 1996 Non-employee Directors Stock Incentive Plan (the “Company Stock Plans”), whether or not vested or exercisable, shall become fully vested and exercisable contingent upon the Effective Time, and shall be, as of or immediately prior to the Effective Time, canceled and converted into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to the product of (i) the excess, if any, of the Merger Consideration over the applicable exercise price per share of such Company Stock Option, and (ii) the number of shares such holder could have purchased (without regard to whether the Company Stock Option is then vested) had such holder exercised such Company Stock Option in full immediately prior to the Effective Time. However, if the applicable exercise price per share of such Company Stock Option is equal to or exceeds the Merger Consideration, such Company Stock Option shall be canceled without payment of any consideration therefor and shall be of no further force and effect. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company, the Company’s Board and any applicable committees thereof shall take all actions necessary to terminate, adjust or amend the Company Stock Plans so that the Company Stock Options are cancelled and extinguished for the payments provided herein. Parent (and each of its Affiliates) is not assuming or continuing any Company Stock Option, stock awards or stock option grants made prior to the Effective Time, if any.

(b) Company Stock-Based Awards. Immediately prior to the Effective Time, the restrictions applicable to each then-outstanding Share of restricted stock granted under the Company Stock Plans (“Company Stock-Based Award”) shall lapse and, to the extent not previously vested, contingent upon the Effective Time, be deemed fully vested, and such Company Stock-Based Award shall be, as of or immediately prior to the Effective Time, converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 4.02.

(c) Company Cash-Based Awards. Immediately prior to the Effective Time, each then-outstanding cash-based award (“Company Cash-Based Award”) granted under the Xxxxxxx Xxxxx Corporation Incentive Compensation Plan for 2013 shall be deemed to have been fully earned for the 2013 Plan Year, contingent upon the Effective Time. The aggregate amount to be awarded in Company Cash-Based Awards for the 2013 Plan Year (including interim awards paid on a quarterly basis prior to the Effective Time as well as the amounts paid under Section 4.03(e) pursuant to this Section 4.03(c)) shall be determined by applying the percentage performance tiers adopted for the 2013 Plan Year to the Company’s actual consolidated EBITDA for the period from and including January 1, 2013 through the Effective Time as compared to the Company’s 2013 budget targets for consolidated EBITDA for such period. Such aggregate amount shall be allocated by the Company pursuant to written instructions to be adopted by the Office of the Chief Executive Officer and Operating Committee prior to the Effective Time, which allocation principles shall be generally consistent with the Company’s past practices in respect of such awards.

(d) Company ESPP. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall take all actions necessary to (i) terminate the Xxxxxxx Xxxxx Corporation Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “Company ESPP”) as of immediately prior to the Effective Time and (ii) provide that the rights of participants in the Company ESPP with respect to any “Purchase Period” (as defined in the Company ESPP) in effect on or after the date hereof under the Company ESPP shall be determined by treating a Business Day to be determined by Company that is prior to the Closing Date as the last day of such Purchase Period (the “Final Investment Date”) and by making such other pro-rata adjustments as may be necessary to reflect the shortened Purchase Period, but otherwise treating such shortened Purchase Period as a fully effective and completed offering period for all purposes under the Company ESPP, in accordance with Section 4.2 of the Company ESPP. Any Shares of Common Stock acquired prior to or on the Final Investment Date shall be treated as outstanding Shares for purposes of Sections 4.01 and 4.02.

(e) Payment Procedures. All amounts payable pursuant to paragraphs (a) and/or (c) of this Section 4.03 to the holders of Company Stock Options and Company Cash-Based Awards shall be paid by the Surviving Corporation at the Effective Time. As soon as reasonably practicable following the date of this Agreement, the Company (and the Company’s Board and any applicable committees thereof) shall take all actions and adopt such resolutions as may be required to give effect to and accomplish the transactions contemplated by this Section 4.03.

(e) There are no voting trusts or other agreements or understandings to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party with respect to the voting of the capital stock or other equity interest of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

Section 5.03. Corporate Authority; Approvals; Fairness Opinion.

(a) The Company has the requisite corporate power and authority and has taken all corporate action necessary in order to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this Agreement and to consummate the Merger, subject only to Company Shareholder Approval in the case of the Merger, to consummate the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Company and, assuming this Agreement constitutes the legal, valid and binding agreement of Parent and Merger Sub, constitutes the legal, valid and binding agreement of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, subject to the Bankruptcy and Equity Exception.

(b) The Board of Directors of the Company, at a meeting duly called and held, duly adopted resolutions:

(i) determining that this Agreement, the Offer, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement are advisable and are fair to the Company’s shareholders and are in the best interests of the Company;

(ii) approving this Agreement, the Offer, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement;

(ii) recommending to the holders of shares of Common Stock that they accept the Offer and tender their shares pursuant to the Offer;

(iv) directing that, if required under applicable Law to effect the Merger, this Agreement be submitted to a vote at a meeting of the Company’s shareholders entitled to vote hereon; and;

Except for the Company Shareholder Approval and the filing of the Articles of Merger with the Secretary of State of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, no other corporate proceedings on the part of the Company are necessary to authorize this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

(c) As a result of bylaws duly and timely adopted by the Board of Directors of the Company, Subchapters E, G, H, I and J of Chapter 25 of the PBCL do not apply to the Company. The resolutions of the Board of Directors of the Company referred to in Section 5.03(b) constitute the only action necessary to render inapplicable to this Agreement, the Offer, the Merger, the other transactions contemplated hereby and compliance with the terms of this Agreement, the restrictions on “business combinations” (as defined in Section 2554 of the PBCL) set forth in Subchapter F of Chapter 25 of the PBCL, in each case to the extent, if any, such restrictions would otherwise be applicable to this Agreement, the Offer, the Merger, the other transactions contemplated hereby or compliance with the terms of this Agreement. An informational notice by Merger Sub with the Pennsylvania Securities Commission (the “PA Takeover Notice”) will be required in order to perfect an exemption from the registration requirements of the Pennsylvania Takeover Disclosure Law, 70 P.S. §71, et seq., pursuant to 70 P.S. §78(a). Except as described in this Section 5.03(c), no other Takeover Statute, assuming the accuracy of the representations in Section 6.08, is applicable to this Agreement, the Offer, the Merger, the other transactions contemplated hereby or compliance with the terms of this Agreement. The Company is not party to a rights agreement, “poison pill” or similar agreement or plan.

(the “Company Financial Advisor”) to the effect that, as of the date of such opinion, and subject to the various assumptions and qualifications set forth therein, including, without limitation, the Opinion Assumptions (as defined in such opinion), the Offer Price to be received by the holders of Common Stock in the Offer and the Merger is fair to such holders from a financial point of view and as promptly as practicable a copy of such opinion shall be provided by the Company to Parent, solely for informational purposes, following the date hereof.

(b) The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by the Company does not, and the consummation of the Offer, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby will not, constitute or result in (i) a breach or violation of, or a default under, the articles of incorporation or bylaws of the Company (in the case of the consummation of the Merger, assuming the Company Shareholder Approval is obtained), (ii) a breach or violation of, or a default under, the articles of incorporation or bylaws of any Subsidiary of the Company, or (iii) with or without notice, lapse of time or both, a breach or violation of, a termination (or right of termination) or default under, the creation or acceleration of any obligations under or the creation of a Lien on any of the assets of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries pursuant to any Company Material Contract, other than any such Lien (A) for Taxes or governmental assessments, charges or claims of payment not yet due, being contested in good faith or for which adequate accruals or reserves have been established on the most recent consolidated balance sheet included in the Company SEC Documents, (B) which is a carriers’, warehousemen’s, mechanics’, materialmen’s, repairmen’s or other similar Lien arising in the ordinary course of business, (C) which is disclosed on the most recent consolidated balance sheet of the Company or notes thereto or securing liabilities reflected on such balance sheet, or (D) which was incurred in the ordinary course of business since the date of the most recent consolidated balance sheet of the Company (each of the foregoing, a “Permitted Lien”), upon any of the properties or assets of the Company or any of the Company’s Subsidiaries, other than, in the case of the preceding clauses (ii) or (iii), any such items that would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Company Material Adverse Effect.

Section 5.05. SEC Filings.

(a) The Company has filed with or furnished to the SEC all reports, schedules, forms, statements, prospectuses, registration statements and other documents required to be filed or furnished by it since December 31, 2012 (collectively, together with any exhibits and schedules thereto and other information incorporated therein, the “Company SEC Documents”; together with any of the foregoing filed with or furnished to the SEC by the Company after the date hereof and prior to the Effective Time, the “Company Filings”).

(b) No Subsidiary of the Company is required to file or furnish any report, statement, schedule, form or other document with, or make any other filing with, or furnish any material to, the SEC.

(c) As of its filing date (and as of the date of any amendment), each Company Filing complied, and each Company Filing filed subsequent to the date hereof will comply, as to form in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, as the case may be.

(d) As of its filing date (or, if amended or superseded by a filing prior to the date hereof, on the date of such filing), each Company Filing filed pursuant to the Exchange Act did not, and each Company Filing filed subsequent to the date hereof 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 therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

(e) Each Company Filing that is a registration statement, as amended or supplemented, if applicable, filed pursuant to the Securities Act, as of the date such registration statement or amendment became effective, did not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading.

(f) The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures required by Rule 13a-15 or 15d-15 under the Exchange Act. Such disclosure controls and procedures are reasonably designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company is recorded and reported on a timely basis to the individuals responsible for the preparation of the Company SEC Reports. The Company maintains a system of “internal control over financial reporting” (as defined in Rule 13a-15 or 15d-15, as applicable, under the Exchange Act). Such internal control over financial reporting is effective in providing reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).

Whether pursuant to such tail policy or otherwise, the Surviving Corporation shall continue to maintain in effect for a period of at least six years from and after the Effective Time D&O Insurance with benefits, terms, conditions, retentions and levels of coverage that are at least as favorable to the insureds as provided in the Company’s existing policies as of the date of this Agreement, or the Surviving Corporation shall use reasonable best efforts to purchase comparable D&O Insurance for such six-year period with benefits, terms, conditions, retentions and levels of coverage that are at least as favorable to the insureds as provided in the Company’s existing policies as of the date of this Agreement; provided, however, that in no event shall the Surviving Corporation be required to expend for such policies pursuant to this sentence an annual premium amount in excess of 300% of the annual premiums currently paid by the Company for such insurance; and provided, further, that if the annual premiums of such insurance coverage exceed such amount, the Surviving Corporation shall obtain a policy with the greatest coverage available for a cost not exceeding such amount.

(a) Parent and Merger Sub shall use their respective reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable to consummate and obtain the Financing on the terms and conditions described in the Financing Commitments, including using reasonable best efforts to (i) maintain in effect the Financing Commitments, (ii) negotiate definitive agreements with respect to the Debt Financing on terms and conditions (including, as necessary, the “flex” provisions contained in the redacted fee letter accompanying the Debt Financing Letter) as specified in the Debt Financing Letter (any such agreements, the “Definitive Debt Agreements”), (iii) satisfy on a timely basis (or obtain the waiver of) all conditions that are applicable to Parent or Merger Sub in the Debt Financing Commitment or the Definitive Debt Agreements, as applicable, and comply with its obligations thereunder, and (iv) upon the satisfaction or waiver of such conditions, consummate the Debt Financing at or prior to the Effective Time. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, in the event that all conditions to the Debt Financing Letter (and if Definitive Debt Agreements have been entered into, to such respective Definitive Debt Agreements) in each case, other than the availability of any of the financing contemplated under the Equity Financing Letter, have been satisfied or waived or upon the funding will be satisfied, and all of the conditions set forth in Section 8.1 (with respect to any funding of Debt Financing to occur at the Closing) have been satisfied or waived (other than those conditions that by their terms are to be satisfied at the closing of the Debt Financing, the Offer Closing or the Closing, as applicable), Parent and Merger Sub shall use their reasonable best efforts to enforce their rights under the Debt Financing Letter and Definitive Debt Agreements, as the case may be, including by suit or other appropriate proceeding.

(b) Parent shall have the right from time to time to amend, modify or replace the Financing Commitments; provided, that Parent shall not, without the prior written consent of the Company, agree to, or permit, any amendment, modification or replacement of, or waiver under, the Financing Commitments or the definitive agreements relating to the Financing Commitments if such amendment, modification, replacement or waiver would (A) reduce the aggregate amount of the Financing (unless the Debt Financing or the Equity Financing is increased by a corresponding amount), (B) impose new or additional conditions or expand or amend any of the conditions precedent or contingencies to the funding on the Closing Date of the Financing that would reasonably be expected to (1) prevent, impede or delay the consummation of the Financing, the Offer Closing or the Closing, (2) make the funding of the Financing less likely to occur, or (3) adversely impact the ability of the Parent to enforce its rights against the other parties to the Financing Commitments or the definitive documents with respect thereto, or (C) reasonably be expected to (1) prevent, impede or delay the consummation of the Financing, the Offer Closing or the Closing, (2) make the funding of the Financing less likely to occur, or (3) adversely impact the ability of the Parent to enforce its rights against the other parties to the Financing Commitments or the definitive documents with respect thereto, without the prior consent of the Company; provided, further, that notwithstanding the foregoing, Parent may amend the Debt Financing Letter to add or replace lenders, lead arrangers, bookrunners, syndication agents or similar entities who had not executed the Debt Financing Letter as of the date of this Agreement if the addition of such parties individually or in the aggregate would not reasonably be expected to delay or prevent the consummation of the Debt Financing or the Offer Closing. Parent shall deliver to the Company copies of any such amendment, modification, replacement or waiver promptly upon its execution thereof. If, notwithstanding the use of reasonable best efforts by Buyer to satisfy its obligations under this Section 7.15(a), any portion of the Debt Financing or Definitive Debt Documents is terminated or expires or otherwise becomes unavailable on the terms and conditions (including the “flex” provisions contained in the redacted fee letter accompanying the Debt Financing Letter) specified in the Debt Financing Letter or the Definitive Debt Agreements, Parent shall promptly notify the Company and shall use its reasonable best efforts to arrange and obtain alternative financing from the same and/or alternative sources on terms and conditions not less favorable, taken as a whole, to Parent, than those contained in the Debt Financing Letter (“Alternative Financing”), upon terms and conditions which would not have any of the effects specified in clauses (A), (B) and (C) of this Section 7.15(a) as promptly as reasonably practicable following the occurrence of such event. Parent shall keep the Company informed on a reasonably current basis of the status of its efforts to arrange the Financing and to satisfy the conditions thereof, including (1) giving the Company prompt written notice of any material adverse change with respect to the Debt Financing, including if at any time the Debt Financing Letter expires or is terminated for any reason or if any financing source party to the Debt Financing Letter notifies Parent that such source no longer intends to provide financing to Parent on the terms set forth therein, and (2) upon the Company’s reasonable request, advising and updating the Company, in a reasonable level of detail, with respect to status and proposed funding date. For purposes of this Agreement, references to “Financing” and “Debt Financing” and “Definitive Debt Agreements” shall include the financing contemplated by the Debt Financing Letter as permitted by this Section 7.15(a) to be amended, modified or replaced and references to “Debt Financing Letter” shall include such documents as permitted by this Section 7.15(a) to be amended, modified or replaced, in each case from and after such amendment, modification, or replacement.

The Company hereby consents to the reasonable use of the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ logos in connection with the Debt Financing, provided that such logos are used solely in a manner that is not intended to or reasonably likely to harm or disparage the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or the reputation or goodwill of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or any of their logos. For the purposes of this Agreement, “Financing Sources” shall mean the lenders and any other Persons that have committed to provide the Debt Financing, including any arrangers, book managers, administrative agents, collateral agents, or trustees part of the Debt Financing (and any of their representatives or agents) and their respective Affiliates and any of such entities’ or their respective Affiliates’ respective former, current or future general or limited partners, shareholders, managers, members, directors, officers, employees, representatives or agents or their heirs, executors, successors and assigns of any of the foregoing).

If the Closing does not occur, Parent shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company and its Subsidiaries and their respective Agents for and against any and all losses actually suffered or incurred by them in connection with the arrangement of the Debt Financing, any action taken by them at the request of Parent pursuant to this Section 7.15(b) and any information utilized in connection therewith (other than information provided by the Company or its Subsidiaries). All non-public or otherwise confidential information regarding the Company or its Subsidiaries obtained by Parent or its Agents pursuant to this Section 7.15 shall be kept confidential in accordance with the Confidentiality Agreement.

Section 9.01. Termination by Mutual Consent.

Section 9.02. Termination by Either Parent or the Company. This Agreement may be terminated and the transactions contemplated hereby may be abandoned at any time prior to the Effective Time by either Parent or the Company if:

(a) any Order by a Governmental Entity of competent jurisdiction in a jurisdiction in which any of the Company or Parent has substantial operations permanently restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting consummation of the Offer or the Merger shall become final and non-appealable (whether before or after the adoption of this Agreement by the shareholders of the Company referred to in Section 8.01(a)); provided, however, that the terminating party shall have complied with its obligations under Section 7.04 (Reasonable Best Efforts); or

(b) if (i) the Offer Closing shall not have occurred on or before the Outside Date, and (ii) the party seeking to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.02(c) shall not have breached in any material respect its obligations under this Agreement in any manner that shall have proximately caused or substantially contributed to the failure to consummate the Offer Closing on or before such date.

Section 9.03. Termination by the Company. This Agreement may be terminated and the Merger may be abandoned by the Company:

(a) at any time prior to the Offer Closing, in order to concurrently enter into an Alternative Acquisition Agreement for a Superior Proposal, provided that the Company has complied with Section 7.02, and the Company pays to Parent in immediately available funds any fees required to be paid pursuant to Section 9.05(c);

(b) at any time prior to the Offer Closing, if there has been a breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement made by Parent or Merger Sub in this Agreement and such breach (i) is not curable by the Outside Date or, if curable, is not cured prior to the 30th day after written notice thereof is given by the Company to Parent and (ii) would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the ability of Parent and Merger Sub to perform their respective obligations hereunder (any such breach, a “Purchaser Breach”); provided, however, that the Company is not then in breach of this Agreement such that either clause (b) or clause (c) of the Offer Conditions would not be capable of being satisfied by the Outside Date; and provided, further, that notwithstanding the foregoing, the failure to pay any consideration when due hereunder shall not be entitled to a cure period;

(c) at any time prior to the Effective Time, if all of the Offer Conditions have been satisfied (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Offer Closing) and Parent and Merger Sub fail to consummate the Offer Closing on or before the date on which the Offer Closing should have occurred pursuant to Section 1.01(e); or

(d) if Parent or Merger Sub shall have failed to commence the Offer by August 30, 2013 (assuming the Company has timely complied with its obligations to cooperate with Parent and Merger Sub in connection with the Offer).

Section 9.04. Termination by Parent. This Agreement may be terminated and the Merger may be abandoned by Parent:

(a) at any time prior to the Offer Closing, if there has been a breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement made by the Company in this Agreement such that either clause (b) or clause (c) of the Offer Conditions would not be capable of being satisfied by the Outside Date and such breach cannot be or is not cured prior to the 30th day after written notice thereof is given by Parent to the Company; provided, however, that there does not then exist any Purchaser Breach; or

(b) at any time prior to the Offer Closing if (i) the Company shall have entered into an Alternative Acquisition Agreement relating to any Acquisition Proposal, (ii) the Company shall have intentionally and materially breached Section 7.02, or (iii) a Company Adverse Recommendation Change shall have occurred.

Section 9.05. Effect of Termination and Abandonment.

(a) In the event of termination of this Agreement and the abandonment of the Offer and the Merger pursuant to this Article 9, this Agreement shall terminate and become void and of no effect with no liability to any Person on the part of any party hereto (or of any of its Representatives or Affiliates); provided, however, and notwithstanding anything in the foregoing to the contrary, (i) the provisions set forth in this Section 9.05, Article 10 (Miscellaneous and General) and the agreements of the Company, Parent and Merger Sub contained in Section 7.09 (Expenses), and any confidentiality agreement(s) shall survive the termination of this Agreement and (ii) nothing herein shall relieve the Company, Parent or Merger Sub from liability for (x) any Deliberate and material breach of any of its representations, warranties, covenants and agreements set forth in this Agreement occurring prior to such termination nor (y) in the case of Parent or Merger Sub, any failure of Parent and Merger Sub to consummate the Offer as provided by this Agreement notwithstanding satisfaction of all the Offer Conditions (other than conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Offer Closing) or to perform their covenants in Section 7.15, and any aggrieved party shall be entitled to all rights and remedies at law or in equity, including the right of the aggrieved party to seek the benefit of its bargain (in the case of the Company, the bargain lost by the Company’s shareholders); provided, however, that in connection with any Deliberate and material breach described in the foregoing clause (x), or any failure described in the foregoing clause (y), in no event shall the Company be entitled to any other rights or remedies at law or in equity in the event that it elects to receive (and does receive) the Parent Termination Fee, and in no event shall the Company be entitled to the Parent Termination Fee in the event that it elects to receive (and does receive) any other remedies at law or in equity with respect to such failure or breach. For purposes of this Agreement, “Deliberate” means an action or failure to act by or with the consent of an executive officer of the party where the executive officer has actual knowledge that such action or failure to act will constitute a breach of this Agreement; provided however, that failure by Parent to pay the aggregate Offer Price or the aggregate Merger Consideration when and if required by and in accordance with the terms of this Agreement shall be deemed Deliberate whether or not Financing or any other financing is available to Parent or Merger Sub.

(b) In the event that this Agreement is terminated by the Company pursuant to its rights under Section 9.03(b) or 9.03(c), then Parent shall pay to the Company or one or more Persons designated by the Company a termination fee of $23,600,000 in cash (the “Parent Termination Fee”) no later than two Business Days after the date of such termination (it being understood that in no event shall Parent be required to pay the Parent Termination Fee on more than one occasion), provided, however, that nothing herein shall limit the Company’s rights to seek recovery for additional damages under Section 9.05(a).

(c) The Company shall pay to Parent or one or more Persons designated by Parent a termination fee of $11,800,000 in cash (the “Company Termination Fee”) if this Agreement is terminated as follows, it being understood that in no event shall Company be required to pay the Company Termination Fee on more than one occasion, and provided, however, that nothing herein shall limit Parent’s rights to seek recovery for additional damages under Section 9.05(a):

(i) the Company shall pay to Parent the Company Termination Fee within two Business Days following termination pursuant to Section 9.03(a) or Section 9.04(b);

(ii) if (A) this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 9.02(b) or Section 9.04(a), (B) an Acquisition Proposal (including a previously communicated Acquisition Proposal) shall have been publicly announced or otherwise communicated to a member of the Board of Directors of the Company (or any Person shall have publicly announced or communicated a bona fide intention, whether or not conditional, to make an Acquisition Proposal) at any time prior to the date of termination, and (C) if within twelve months after the date of such termination, the Company enters into a definitive agreement to consummate, or consummates, or recommends to its shareholders, any Acquisition Proposal, then (upon the satisfaction of all of the conditions set forth in clauses (A) through (C) of this Section 9.05(c)(ii)), the Company shall pay to Parent the Company Termination Fee prior to entering into any definitive agreement with respect to, consummating or recommending, as applicable, an Acquisition Proposal; provided, however, that for purposes of this Section 9.05(c)(ii), the references in the definition of Acquisition Proposal to “15% or more” shall be deemed to be references to “a majority.”

(d) All amounts paid pursuant to this Section 9.05 shall be by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account directed by the party hereto entitled to payment. Each of the parties hereto acknowledge that the agreements contained in this Section 9.05 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and that without these agreements, the other parties would not enter into this Agreement; accordingly, if the Company or Parent, as the case may be, fails to promptly pay the amount due pursuant to this Section 9.05, and, in order to obtain such payment, Parent or the Company, as the case may be, commences an action which results in a judgment against the other party (or, if such action is commenced by the Company, against Merger Sub) for the payment set forth in this Section 9.05, such paying party shall pay the other party its reasonable and documented costs and expenses (including reasonable and documented 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 of payment.

ARTICLE 10

MISCELLANEOUS AND GENERAL

Section 10.01. Survival. None of the representations or warranties in this Agreement or in any document, certificate or instrument delivered pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement shall survive the Effective Time. This Section 10.01 shall not limit any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement or in any document or instrument delivered pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement that by its terms applies in whole or in part after the Effective Time.

Section 10.02. Modification or Amendment. Subject to the provisions of the applicable Laws, at any time prior to the Effective Time, the parties hereto may modify or amend this Agreement by written agreement of the parties hereto. The failure of any party to assert any of its rights under this Agreement or otherwise shall not constitute a modification, amendment, or waiver of those rights. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Sections 10.05, 10.09, 10.15 and this Section 10.02 (and any provision of this Agreement to the extent a modification, waiver or termination of such provision would modify the substance of any of the foregoing provisions) may not be modified, waived or terminated in a manner that impacts or is adverse in any respect to a Financing Source without the prior written consent of such Financing Source.

Section 10.03. Waiver of Conditions. The conditions to each of the parties’ obligations to consummate the Merger are for the sole benefit of such party and, together with the other provisions of this Agreement for the benefit of such party, may be waived in writing by such party in whole or in part to the extent permitted by applicable Laws.

Section 10.04. Counterparts; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts (including by pdf, facsimile or other readable electronic format), each such counterpart being deemed to be an original instrument, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument, and shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the parties and delivered (including by email or facsimile) to the other parties, and all such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same agreement.

Section 10.05. Governing Law and Venue; Waiver of Jury Trial.

(a) THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE MADE IN AND IN ALL RESPECTS SHALL BE INTERPRETED, CONSTRUED AND GOVERNED BY AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAW OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA WITHOUT REGARD TO ANY CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES THEREOF THAT WOULD REQUIRE APPLICATION OF THE LAW OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION. Each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania located in the City of Pittsburgh, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, and, in each case, any appellate court therefrom (together, the “Chosen Courts”), for the purposes of any suit, action or other proceeding arising out of this Agreement or the Merger or any other transaction contemplated by this Agreement (and agrees that no such action, suit or proceeding relating to this Agreement shall be brought by it or any of its Subsidiaries except in such courts). Each of the parties further agrees that, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, service of any process, summons, notice or document by U.S. registered mail to such person’s respective address set forth below shall be effective service of process for any such action, suit or proceeding with respect to any matters to which it has submitted to jurisdiction as set forth above in the immediately preceding sentence. Each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally waives (and agrees not to plead or claim), any objection to the laying of venue of any action, suit or proceeding arising out of this Agreement or the Merger or any of the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement in the Chosen Courts, or that any such action, suit or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

(b) EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE EACH SUCH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT (INCLUDING WITH RESPECT TO THE DEBT FINANCING LETTERS). EACH PARTY CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (i) NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF SUCH ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER, (ii) EACH PARTY UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF THIS WAIVER, (iii) EACH PARTY MAKES THIS WAIVER VOLUNTARILY, AND (iv) EACH PARTY HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 10.05.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that it shall not, and it shall not permit any of its Affiliates to, bring or support any action, cause of action, claim, cross-claim or third-party claim of any kind of description, whether in law or in equity, whether in contract or in tort or otherwise, against any Financing Source, or any of its Affiliates, directors, officers, employees or Representatives, in any way relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including any dispute arising out of or relating in any way to the Debt Financing or the performance thereof, in any forum other than a court of competent jurisdiction located within the Borough of Manhattan in the City of New York, New York, whether a state or Federal court, and that (i) the provisions of Section 10.05(b) relating to waiver of jury trial shall apply to such action, cause of action, claim, cross-claim or third-party claim and (ii) any such action, cause of action, claim, cross-claim or third-party claim shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

Section 10.06. Specific Performance. The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage for which monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy, would occur in the event that the parties hereto do not perform their obligations under the provisions of this Agreement (including failing to take such actions as are required of them hereunder to consummate this Agreement) in accordance with its specified terms or otherwise breach such provisions. Subject to the other provisions of this Section 10.06, the parties acknowledge and agree (and further agree not to take any contrary position in any litigation concerning this Agreement) that (a) the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions, specific performance, or other equitable relief, to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof (including the obligations of the parties hereto to consummate the Closing in accordance with Section 1.02) in the Chosen Courts without proof of damages or otherwise, and that such relief may be sought in addition to and shall not limit, diminish, or otherwise impair, any other remedy to which they are entitled under this Agreement, (b) the provisions set forth in Section 9.05 are not intended to and do not adequately compensate for the harm that would result from a breach of this Agreement and shall not be construed to limit, diminish or otherwise impair in any respect any party’s right to specific enforcement, and (c) the right of specific enforcement is an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and without that right, neither the Company nor Parent would have entered into this Agreement. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that any party seeking an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in accordance with this Section 10.06 shall not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with any such order or injunction. For the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, while the Company may pursue any or all of (i) a grant of specific performance pursuant to this Section 10.06, (ii) damages for breach of this Agreement (but only to the extent permitted by Section 9.05(a)), and (iii) the payment of the Parent Termination Fee (only to the extent expressly permitted by Section 9.05(b)), under no circumstances shall Parent or Merger Sub be obligated to both specifically perform the terms of this Agreement and also pay the Parent Termination Fee (or any other damages contemplated by Section 9.05(a)). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company may obtain an injunction, specific performance or other appropriate form of equitable relief to cause Parent and Merger Sub to cause the Equity Financing to be funded only if each of the following has occurred (i) (x) with respect to any funding of the Equity Financing to occur at the Offer Closing, all the Offer Conditions have been satisfied or waived as of the expiration of the Offer, and (y) with respect to any funding of the Equity Financing to occur at the Closing, all the applicable conditions set forth in Section 8.01 have been satisfied if the Closing were to occur at such time (other than those conditions that, by their terms, are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject in such case to their being capable of being satisfied at the Closing), (ii) the Debt Financing (or Alternative Financing) has been funded in accordance with the terms thereof or would be funded in accordance with the terms thereof at the Offer Closing or the Closing, as applicable, if the Equity Financing were to be funded at the Offer Closing or the Closing, as applicable, and (iii) with respect to any funding of the Equity Financing to occur at the Offer Closing, the Company has irrevocably confirmed to Parent in writing that, if the Equity Financing and the Debt Financing were funded, it would take such actions that are within its control to cause the Closing to occur.
