(a) At the Effective Time, each Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the
Effective Time (other than Shares to be cancelled pursuant to Section 3.1(c), Shares held
by any Subsidiary of the Company and Dissenting Shares) shall, by virtue of
14
the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, be converted into the
right to receive the Merger Consideration, without any interest thereon.
(b) Each share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Merger Sub issued and
outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, at the Effective Time, by virtue of the
Merger and without any action on the part of Parent, be converted into one (1) fully paid and
nonassessable share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Surviving Corporation.
(c) Each Share held by the Company as treasury stock or owned by Parent or Merger Sub
immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, at the Effective Time, be cancelled and retired and
shall cease to exist, and no consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor. Each Share
held by any Subsidiary of the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time shall remain
outstanding, with appropriate adjustment to the number thereof to preserve any such Subsidiary’s
percentage ownership in the Company.
(d) Each Share converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration without any
interest thereon pursuant to Section 3.1(a) shall be automatically cancelled and shall
cease to exist, and the holders immediately prior to the Effective Time of outstanding Shares not
represented by certificates (“Book-Entry Shares”) and the holders of certificates that,
immediately prior to the Effective Time, represented outstanding Shares (the
“Certificates”) shall cease to have any rights with respect to such Shares other than the
right to receive, upon surrender of such Book-Entry Shares or Certificates in accordance with
Section 3.2, the Merger Consideration, without any interest thereon, for each such Share
held by them.
Section 3.2 Exchange of Certificates Representing Shares.
(a) At or prior to the Closing, Parent shall deliver or cause to be delivered, in trust, to a
bank or trust company designated by Parent and reasonably satisfactory to the Company (the
“Paying Agent”), for the benefit of the holders of Shares immediately prior to the
Effective Time (other than holders of Shares to be cancelled pursuant to Section 3.1(c),
Shares held by any Subsidiary of the Company and Dissenting Shares) sufficient funds for timely
payment of the aggregate Merger Consideration (such cash being hereinafter referred to as the
“Consideration Fund”) to be paid pursuant to this Section 3.2 in exchange for all
outstanding Shares immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than Shares to be cancelled
pursuant to Section 3.1(c), Shares held by any Subsidiary of the Company and Dissenting
Shares). The Consideration Fund shall not be used for any other purposes.
(b) Promptly after the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Paying Agent to mail to each
holder of record of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares whose Shares were converted into the right to
receive Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 3.1(a) (i) a letter of transmittal that
shall specify that delivery of such Certificates or Book-Entry Shares shall be deemed to have
occurred, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates or Book-Entry Shares, as applicable, shall
pass, only upon proper delivery of the Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu thereof together
with any required indemnity) or Book-Entry Shares to the Paying Agent and (ii) instructions for use
in effecting the surrender of the Certificates or Book-Entry Shares in exchange for payment of the
Merger Consideration, the form and substance of which letter of
15
transmittal and instructions shall be substantially as reasonably agreed to by the Company and
Parent and prepared prior to the Closing. Upon surrender of a Book-Entry Share or a Certificate
for cancellation to the Paying Agent together with such letter of transmittal, duly executed and
completed in accordance with the instructions thereof, and with such other documents as may be
required pursuant to such instructions, the holder of such Book-Entry Share or Certificate shall be
entitled to receive in exchange therefor, subject to any required withholding of Taxes, the Merger
Consideration pursuant to the provisions of this Article III, and the Book-Entry Share or
Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled. No interest shall be paid or accrued on
the Merger Consideration payable to holders of Book-Entry Shares or Certificates. If any Merger
Consideration is to be paid to a Person other than a Person in whose name the Book-Entry Share or
Certificate surrendered in exchange therefor is registered, it shall be a condition precedent of
such exchange that the Person requesting such exchange present proper evidence of transfer and pay
to the Paying Agent any transfer or other Taxes required by reason of payment of the Merger
Consideration to a Person other than the registered holder of the Book-Entry Share or Certificate
surrendered, or shall establish to the reasonable satisfaction of the Paying Agent that such Tax
has been paid or is not applicable.
(c) The Consideration Fund shall be invested by the Paying Agent as directed by Parent or the
Surviving Corporation. Earnings on the Consideration Fund shall be the sole and exclusive property
of Parent and the Surviving Corporation and shall be paid to Parent or the Surviving Corporation,
as Parent directs. No investment of the Consideration Fund shall relieve Parent, the Surviving
Corporation or the Paying Agent from making the payments required by this Article III, and
following any net losses from any such investment, Parent shall promptly provide additional funds
to the Paying Agent for the benefit of the applicable holders of Shares immediately prior to the
Effective Time in the amount of such net losses, which additional funds shall be deemed to be part
of the Consideration Fund. No investment of the Consideration Fund shall have maturities that
could prevent or delay payments to be made pursuant to this Agreement.
(d) At and after the Effective Time, there shall be no transfers on the stock transfer books
of the Company of the Shares that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If,
after the Effective Time, Certificates or Book-Entry Shares are presented to the Surviving
Corporation or the Paying Agent for any reason, they shall be cancelled and exchanged for the
Merger Consideration pursuant to this Article III, except as otherwise provided by Law.
(e) Any portion of the Consideration Fund (including any interest from or the proceeds of any
investments thereof) that remains unclaimed by the applicable former stockholders of the Company
nine (9) months after the Effective Time shall be delivered to the Surviving Corporation. Any
holders of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares who have not theretofore complied with this
Article III with respect to such Certificates or Book-Entry Shares shall thereafter look
only to the Surviving Corporation (subject to abandoned property, escheat or similar Laws, only as
a general creditor thereof) for, and the Surviving Corporation shall remain liable for, payment of
their claim for Merger Consideration in respect thereof (if any).
(f) Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Paying Agent nor any party hereto shall be
liable to any Person in respect of cash from the Consideration Fund
16
delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or
similar Law. If any Certificate or Book-Entry Share shall not have been surrendered prior to the
date on which any Merger Consideration in respect thereof would otherwise escheat to or become the
property of any Governmental Entity, any such Merger Consideration in respect of such Certificate
or Book-Entry Share shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, become the property of the
Surviving Corporation, and any holder of such Certificate or Book-Entry Share who has not
theretofore complied with this Article III with respect thereto shall thereafter look only
to the Surviving Corporation for payment of its claim for Merger Consideration in respect thereof
(if any).
(g) If any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an
affidavit of that fact (such affidavit shall be in a form reasonably satisfactory to Parent and the
Paying Agent) by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed, and, if
required by Parent or the Surviving Corporation, the posting by such Person of a bond in such
reasonable and customary amount as Parent or the Surviving Corporation may direct as indemnity
against any claim that may be made with respect to such Certificate, the Paying Agent shall issue
in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate the Merger Consideration to which such
Person is entitled in respect of such Certificate pursuant to this Article III.
(h) Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall take all steps reasonably necessary to
cause the transactions contemplated hereby and any other dispositions of equity securities of the
Company in connection with this Agreement by each individual who is subject to the reporting
requirements of Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act to be exempt under Rule 16b-3 promulgated under
the Exchange Act.
(i) Parent, Merger Sub, the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent shall be entitled to
deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any
holder of Shares, Company Deferred Stock Units, Company Options or Company Warrants such amounts as
Parent, Merger Sub, the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent is or may be reasonably required
to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code, or any provision
of state, local or foreign Tax Law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld and paid over to
the appropriate taxing authority by Parent, Merger Sub, the Surviving Corporation or the Paying
Agent, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been
paid to the applicable holder in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made by
Parent, Merger Sub, the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent.

Option”) and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall, to the extent not then
vested and exercisable, become fully vested and exercisable as of immediately prior to the
Effective Time. As of the Effective Time, each Company Option then outstanding shall be cancelled,

Effective Time and with respect to each Company Option, cash equal to the product of (i) the
excess, if any, of the Merger Consideration over the exercise price per Share of such Company
Option, multiplied by (ii) the number of Shares covered by such Company Option (the aggregate
amount of such cash, the “Option Consideration”), with payment subject to applicable Tax
withholding and paid without interest.

respect to each Company Deferred Stock Unit, an amount equal to the Merger Consideration, with
payment subject to applicable Tax withholding and paid without interest.
(d) Each long-term cash award granted in February 2010 concurrently with the Company’s regular
annual grant of equity incentive awards shall become fully vested as of the Effective Time. As of

payment to be made as soon as practicable, and in no event less than ten (10) Business Days
following, the Effective Time, with such payment subject to applicable Tax withholding and paid
without interest.
(e) Each Company Warrant outstanding immediately before the Effective Time shall, pursuant to
the terms thereof, as of the Effective Time, cease to represent a right to acquire Shares and shall
be converted, at the Effective Time, into a right to receive from the Company a payment in cash, on
the same contractual terms and conditions as were in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time
under the terms of the Company Warrant, in an amount equal to, with respect to Company Warrants
held by a specified holder, (i) the product of (A) the number of Shares subject to the Company
Warrants of such holder and (B) the Merger Consideration minus (ii) the product of (A) the
number of Shares subject to the Company
18
Warrants of such holder and (B) the per share exercise price of such Company Warrants
immediately prior to the Effective Time (provided, that if the foregoing calculation
results in a negative number, the cash payment shall be $0) (the aggregate amount of such cash, the
“Warrant Consideration”). All amounts payable in respect of such Company Warrants pursuant
to this Section 3.3(e) shall be subject to applicable Tax withholding and paid without
interest.
(f) Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to take all
such actions as may be required to effectuate the provisions of this Section 3.3. No later

such Shares shall be treated as other outstanding Shares in accordance with Section 3.1 of
this Agreement.
Section 3.4 Adjustments. Notwithstanding any provision of this Article III to
the contrary, if between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time the outstanding Shares
shall have been changed into a different number of shares or a different class by reason of the
occurrence or record date of any stock dividend, subdivision, reclassification, recapitalization,
stock split (including a reverse stock split), combination, exchange of shares or similar
transaction, the Merger Consideration shall be equitably adjusted to reflect such stock dividend,
subdivision, reclassification, recapitalization, stock split (including a reverse stock split),
combination, exchange of shares or similar transaction.

properly exercised and perfected his or her demand for appraisal rights under Section 262 of the

Consideration, but the holders of such Dissenting Shares shall be entitled to receive such
consideration as shall be determined pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL; provided,
however, that if any such holder shall have failed to perfect or shall have effectively
withdrawn or lost his or her right to appraisal and payment under the DGCL, such holder’s Shares
shall thereupon be deemed to have been converted as of the Effective Time into the right to receive

Dissenting Shares. The Company shall promptly provide Parent with notice of any demands for
appraisal of any Shares, and Parent shall have the right to participate in and direct all

respect to, or settle or offer to settle, any such demands, or agree to do any of the foregoing.

of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or organization and has the requisite corporate or similar
power and authority to own or lease all of its properties and assets and to conduct its business as
it is now being conducted, except with respect to the Subsidiaries of the Company only where the
failure to be so organized, existing and (to the extent applicable) in good standing or to have
such power and authority would not have a Company Material Adverse Effect. Each of the Company and
its Subsidiaries is duly qualified or licensed to do business and (to the extent applicable) is in
good standing in each jurisdiction in which the property leased or operated by it or the nature of
the business conducted by it makes such qualification or licensing necessary, except where the
failure to be so duly qualified, licensed and in good standing would not have a Company Material
Adverse Effect. The Company has made available to Parent a copy of its Amended and Restated
Certificate of Incorporation and Amended and Restated Bylaws and the organizational documents of
each of its Subsidiaries listed in Section 4.1 of the Company Disclosure Schedule, in each
case, as currently in effect. All such organizational documents of the Company and its
Subsidiaries are in full force and effect and neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is in
material violation of any of their respective provisions.
Section 4.2 Capitalization; Subsidiaries.
(a) As of September 17, 2010, the authorized capital stock of the Company consists of (i)
125,000,000 Shares, 93,184,172 of which were issued and outstanding (excluding shares held by the
Company as treasury stock) and 5,443,416 of which were reserved for issuance pursuant to the Equity
Plans and 124,162 of which were reserved for issuance upon exercise of the Company Warrants, and
(ii) 2,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company, none of which
were issued and outstanding. “Company Warrants” refer to the warrants listed in
Section 4.2(a) of the Company Disclosure Schedule. All the outstanding shares of the
Company’s capital stock are duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid, nonassessable and free of
preemptive rights. As of the date hereof, other than (i) pursuant to the Equity Plans and the
Company Warrants and (ii) the Company’s 3.75% convertible senior notes due 2027 (the
“Convertible Notes”), there are no outstanding options, warrants, calls, stock appreciation
rights, phantom stock awards, subscriptions, convertible securities, or any bonds, debentures,
notes or other indebtedness having the right to vote on any matters on which stockholders of the
Company may vote (or that are convertible into securities having such
20
rights), or other rights, agreements or commitments of any kind to which the Company or any of
its Subsidiaries is a party obligating the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to issue, transfer or
sell any shares of capital stock or other equity interest in the Company or securities convertible
into or exchangeable for such shares or equity interests, and there are no voting trusts or similar

the capital stock of the Company. Section 4.2(a) of the Company Disclosure Schedule sets
forth a list, as of September 17, 2010, of (A) all Company Options and other outstanding options to
purchase Shares issued under Equity Plans or otherwise, the number of Shares subject thereto, the
grant dates, exercise or base prices (if applicable), the vested or unvested status thereof and the

but were subject to vesting or other forfeiture restrictions, including Restricted Stock Awards
under Equity Plans or otherwise, the grant dates, the vested or unvested status thereof, repurchase

securities or other equity interests of each Subsidiary of the Company is owned by the Company or
another Subsidiary of the Company. There are no outstanding options, warrants, calls, subscriptions
or other rights, convertible securities, agreements or commitments of any kind to which the Company

fully paid, nonassessable and free of any preemptive rights (to the extent applicable), and are
owned free and clear of all Liens other than Permitted Liens. There are no voting trusts or
similar agreements to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party with respect to the
voting of the capital stock of any Subsidiary of the Company.
(c) Except as described in Section 4.2(c) of the Company Disclosure Schedule and other
than with respect to the Company’s Subsidiaries and cash management investments in the ordinary
course of business, the Company does not own or control, directly or indirectly, any equity
interest in any Person, or have any obligation or has made any commitment to acquire any such
equity interest, to provide funds to, or to make any investment (in the form of a loan, capital
contribution, advance or otherwise) in any other Person.
(d) All Company Options were granted at an exercise price at least equal to the fair market

required pursuant to the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act of 2002, as amended
23
(“Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act”) (as such reports and statements may have been amended since the

Company SEC Reports is the subject of ongoing SEC review or outstanding SEC comment. The
consolidated financial statements (including the related notes) of the Company included in the
Company SEC Reports (the “Financial Statements”) (i) fairly present in all material
respects the consolidated financial position of the Company and its consolidated Subsidiaries as at
the respective dates thereof and their consolidated results of operations and consolidated cash

respective periods then ended (subject, in the case of the unaudited statements, to normal year-end
audit adjustments and to any other adjustments described therein including the notes thereto) and

States (“GAAP”) (except, in the case of the unaudited statements, as permitted by Form 10-Q

Section 4.6 Internal Controls; Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act.
(a) The Company has designed and maintains a system of internal control over financial
reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) sufficient to provide
reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of the
Company financial statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP. The Company has
established and maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and
15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) designed to provide reasonable assurance that material information
required to be disclosed by the Company’s periodic and current reports under the Exchange Act is
communicated to the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer as
appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The Company is in compliance
in all material respects with (x) all applicable provisions of the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act and (y) the
applicable listing and corporate governance rules and regulations of the NYSE. Since January 1,
2010 and through June 30, 2010, and to the Knowledge of the Company since June 30, 2010 through the
date hereof, the Company has not identified (i) any material weaknesses in the design or operation
of internal control over financial reporting which is reasonably likely to adversely affect the
Company’s ability to record, process, summarize and report financial information or (ii) any fraud
or allegation of fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other employees who
have a significant role in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. As of the date
hereof, to the Knowledge of the Company, there are no facts or circumstances that would prevent its
chief executive officer and chief financial officer from giving the certifications and attestations
required pursuant to the
24
rules and regulations adopted pursuant to Section 404 of the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act, without
qualification, when next due.
(b) Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is a party to, or has any commitment to
become a party to, any joint venture, off balance sheet partnership or any similar contract or
arrangement (including any Contract relating to any transaction or relationship between or among
the Company and any of its Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and any unconsolidated affiliate,
including any structured finance, special purpose or limited purpose entity or Person, on the other
hand, or any “off balance sheet arrangements” (as defined in item 303(a) of Regulation S-K under
the Exchange Act)), where the result, purpose or intended effect of such Contract is to avoid
disclosure of any material transaction involving, or material liabilities of, the Company or any of
its Subsidiaries in the Company’s published financial statements or other Company SEC Reports.
Section 4.7 No Undisclosed Liabilities. Except (a) as reflected in the Financial
Statements included in the Company SEC Reports, (b) for those liabilities and obligations incurred
in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice in all material respects since
June 30, 2010 or (c) for liabilities and obligations incurred in connection with the Transactions,
as of the date hereof, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has any material liabilities
or obligations of any nature, whether or not accrued, contingent or otherwise, that would be
required by GAAP to be reflected on a consolidated balance sheet (or the notes thereto) of the
Post-Sale Company.
Section 4.8 Absence of Certain Changes. Since December 31, 2009 through the date of
this Agreement, except for matters in connection with the Transactions, the businesses of the
Company and its Subsidiaries have been conducted in the ordinary course of business consistent with
past practice in all material respects, and there has not been any Company Material Adverse Effect.
Section 4.9 Employee Benefit Plans; ERISA.

of the date hereof, of each material deferred compensation, bonus or other incentive compensation,
stock purchase, stock option and other equity compensation plan, program, agreement or arrangement;
each material severance or termination pay, medical, surgical, hospitalization, life insurance and
other “welfare” plan, fund or program (within the meaning of Section 3(1) of the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”)); each material profit-sharing, stock
bonus or other “pension” plan, fund or program (within the meaning of Section 3(2) of ERISA); each
material employment, termination, change in control, retention or severance agreement; and each
other material employee benefit plan, fund, program, agreement or arrangement, in each case, under
which any current or former employee, director or individual independent contractor of the Company
or any of its Subsidiaries has any right to benefits and that is sponsored, maintained or
contributed to or required to be contributed to by the Company or by an ERISA Affiliate thereof, or
to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries has or would reasonably be expected to have any
liability, including as a result of its or their ERISA Affiliates, excluding for this purpose any
foreign plan, program, agreement or arrangement that is mandated by applicable Law (the
“Benefit Plans”). Section 4.9(a) of the
25
Company Disclosure Schedule identifies each Benefit Plan maintained outside of the
United States substantially for the benefit of current and former directors and employees who are
situated outside of the United States (each, a “Foreign Plan”). The Company has made
available to Parent a true and complete copy of each Benefit Plan and all amendments thereto (or,
in the case of any unwritten Benefit Plans, descriptions thereof) and a true and complete copy of
the following items (in each case, only if applicable): (i) each trust or other funding
arrangement, (ii) each summary plan description and summary of material modifications, (iii) the
most recently filed annual report on IRS Form 5500 and all schedules thereto and (iv) the most
recently received IRS determination letter.
(b) Each of the Benefit Plans has been operated and administered in all material respects in
accordance with its terms and applicable Laws, including ERISA and the Code. Except as would not

respect to the Benefit Plans has engaged in a non-exempt “prohibited transaction” within the
meaning of Section 4975 of the Code or Section 406 of ERISA and (ii) no fiduciary has incurred any
liability for breach of fiduciary duty or any other failure to act or comply in connection with the
administration or investment of the assets of any Benefit Plan.
(c) Except as would not reasonably be expected to result in a material liability to the
Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole, each Benefit Plan intended to qualify under Section
401(a) of the Code has either received a favorable determination letter from the IRS with respect
to each such Benefit Plan as to its qualified status under the Code, or with respect to a prototype
Benefit Plan, the prototype sponsor has received a favorable IRS opinion letter, or the Benefit
Plan or prototype sponsor has remaining a period of time under applicable Code regulations or
pronouncements of the IRS in which to apply for such a letter and make any amendments necessary to
obtain a favorable determination or opinion as to the qualified status of each such Benefit Plan,
and the trusts maintained pursuant to each such Benefit Plan are exempt from federal income
taxation under Section 501 of the Code. Nothing has occurred since the most recent determination
or opinion letter or application therefor relating to any such Benefit Plan that would reasonably
be expected to cause the loss of such qualification or exemption or the imposition of any
liability, penalty or tax under ERISA or the Code.
(d) With respect to each Foreign Plan, except as would not reasonably be expected to result in
a material liability to the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole:
(i) all employer and employee contributions to each Foreign Plan required by Law or by
the terms of such Foreign Plan have been made, or, if applicable, accrued in accordance with
normal accounting practices;
(ii) the fair market value of the assets of each funded Foreign Plan, the liability of
each insurer for any Foreign Plan funded through insurance or the book reserve established
for any Foreign Plan, together with any accrued contributions, is sufficient to procure or
provide for the accrued benefit obligations, as of the Closing Date, with respect to all
current or former participants in such plan according to the
26
actuarial assumptions and valuations most recently used to determine employer
contributions to such Foreign Plan and no transaction contemplated by this Agreement shall
cause such assets or insurance obligations to be less than such benefit obligations; and
(iii) each Foreign Plan required to be registered has been registered and has been
maintained in good standing with applicable regulatory authorities.
(e) No material liability under Section 302 or Title IV of ERISA or Section 412 of the Code
has been incurred by the Company or any ERISA Affiliate that has not been satisfied in full.
Neither the Company nor any of its ERISA Affiliates has in the last six (6) years contributed to or
has been obligated to contribute to any Benefit Plan that is subject to Section 302 or Title IV of
ERISA or Section 412 of the Code, including a “multiemployer plan” (within the meaning of Section
3(37) of ERISA) or a “multiple employer plan” (within the meaning of Section 413(c) of the Code).
None of the employees of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or ERISA Affiliates participates in
any “multiemployer plan” within the meaning of Section 3(37) of ERISA, or any pension or retirement
plan sponsored by any union or similar employee representative or sponsored by more than one
unrelated employer.
(f) Except as set forth in Section 4.9(f) of the Company Disclosure Schedule, except
as would not reasonably be expected to result in a material liability to the Company and its
Subsidiaries taken as a whole, (i) there are no claims pending, or, to the Knowledge of the
Company, threatened or anticipated (other than routine claims for benefits), against or involving
any Benefit Plan or the assets of any Benefit Plan or against the Company, any of its Subsidiaries
or any ERISA Affiliate, in each case, with respect to any Benefit Plan, (ii) there are no audits
pending or, to the Knowledge of the Company, threatened by any Governmental Entity involving any

Entity involving any Benefit Plan.
(g) Except as would not reasonably be expected to result in a material liability to the
Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole, each Benefit Plan that is a “non-qualified deferred
compensation plan” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code has been maintained and operated
in compliance with Section 409A of the Code and the applicable guidance issued thereunder.
(h) Except as set forth in Section 4.9(h) of the Company Disclosure Schedule, neither
the execution or delivery of this Agreement nor the consummation of the Merger will, either alone
or in conjunction with any other event, (i) entitle any current or former director, employee,
consultant or independent contractor of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to severance pay,
unemployment compensation or any other payment, except as expressly provided in this Agreement,
(ii) increase the amount or value of any benefit or compensation otherwise payable or required to
be provided to any such director, employee, consultant or independent contractor, (iii) accelerate
the time of payment, vesting or funding of compensation due any such director, employee, consultant
or independent contractor or (iv) result in any payments that (1) would not be deductible under
Section 280G of the Code or (2)
27
would result in any excise tax on any employee or independent contractor of the Company or any
of its Subsidiaries under Section 4999 of the Code or any other comparable Law.

health or life insurance benefits under any Benefit Plan (other than for continuation coverage

threatened against the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or which affects any of its or their
respective properties or assets, except where such suit, claim, action, hearing, notice,
investigation, mediation, inquiry, arbitration, demand letter or other proceeding would not
reasonably be expected to result in a Judgment for money damages in excess of $2,000,000 and would
not reasonably be expected to result in any material injunctive relief. As of the date hereof,

44
prosecution of any registrations or applications for registration of Company Intellectual
Property Rights will not be deemed a breach of this Section 6.1(p); or
(q) authorize or enter into any written agreement or otherwise make any commitment to do any

Section 6.2 Notification of Certain Matters. The Company shall give prompt notice to
Parent, and Parent shall give prompt notice to the Company, of (i) any notice or other
communication received by such party from any Governmental Entity in connection with this Agreement
or the transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) any notice or other communication received from any
Person alleging that the consent of such Person is or may be required in connection with the
transactions contemplated hereby, 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 or
Parent, (iii) any actions, suits, claims, investigations or proceedings commenced or, to such
party’s Knowledge, threatened against, relating to or involving or otherwise affecting such party
or any of its Affiliates which relate to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby,
(iv) the discovery of any fact or circumstance that, or the occurrence or non-occurrence of any
event the occurrence or non-occurrence of which, would give rise to the failure of a condition set
forth Section 7.2(a) or (b); provided, however, that the delivery
of any notice pursuant to this Section 6.2 shall not have any effect on the representations,
warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement for purposes of determining
satisfaction of any condition contained herein.
Section 6.3 Access to Information. From the date hereof until the earlier of the
Effective Time or the date on which this Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms, the
Company shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries and the officers, directors, employees and
agents of the Company and its Subsidiaries, to afford to Parent, and to Parent’s directors,
officers, employees, accountants, counsel, financial advisors, agents and other representatives
(the foregoing, with respect to any Person, its “Representatives”), reasonable access
during normal business hours and upon reasonable prior notice from Parent to their respective
properties, books and records, and shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, as promptly as
practicable, furnish Parent and Merger Sub (i) a copy of each report, schedule and other document
filed or submitted by it pursuant to the requirements of federal or state securities Laws and a
copy of any communication (including “comment letters”) received by the Company from the SEC
concerning compliance with securities laws, and (ii) all other information as Parent may reasonably
request regarding the business, assets, liabilities, employees and other aspects of the Post-Sale
Company. All information exchanged pursuant to this Section 6.3 shall be subject to the
Confidentiality Agreement and the parties shall comply with, and shall cause their respective
Representatives (as defined in the Confidentiality Agreement) to comply with, all of their
respective obligations thereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be
required to provide access to, or cause its Subsidiaries to provide access to, any information or
documents which would, in the reasonable judgment of the Company, (i) constitute a waiver of the
attorney-client or other privilege held by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, (ii) otherwise
violate any applicable Laws, (iii) result in a competitor of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries
receiving material information which is competitively sensitive or (iv) breach any agreement of the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries with any third-party; provided, that with respect to the
foregoing clauses (i) through (iv), the Company shall use
45
its commercially reasonable efforts to, as applicable (A) develop an alternative to providing
such information so as to address such matters in a manner that is reasonably acceptable to the
Company, (B) obtain the required consent of such third party to provide such access or disclosure,
or (C) in the case of clauses (i) and (ii), enter into a joint defense agreement or implement such
other arrangements to the extent the Company reasonably determines that doing so would permit the
disclosure of such information without jeopardizing such privilege or violating applicable Law.
Section 6.4 Acquisition Proposals.
(a) The Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, and shall direct, and use best
efforts to cause, its and its Subsidiaries’ respective Representatives to, immediately cease and
cause to be terminated any discussions or negotiations with any Person (other than the Intel
Buyer) conducted heretofore with respect to an Acquisition Proposal, and use commercially
reasonable efforts to obtain the return from all such Persons or cause the destruction of all
copies of confidential information previously provided to such parties by the Company, its
Subsidiaries or their respective Representatives in accordance with the terms of the applicable
confidentiality agreements. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, from the date of this
Agreement until the Effective Time or, if earlier, the termination of this Agreement in accordance
with its terms, the Company will not, nor shall it authorize or permit any of its Subsidiaries to,
and will use its best efforts to cause its and their respective officers, directors, employees and
other Representatives not to, (i) initiate, solicit, knowingly encourage (including by way of
furnishing information), or knowingly induce or knowingly take any other action designed to or
which would reasonably be expected to, directly or indirectly, lead to the making of any
Acquisition Proposal or (ii) other than informing Persons of the provisions contained in this
Section 6.4, participate or engage in negotiations or discussions with, or furnish any
material nonpublic information to, any Person or take any action to knowingly facilitate any
inquiries relating to, or the making of any proposal that constitutes, or would reasonably be
expected to lead to, an Acquisition Proposal. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
Agreement or the Confidentiality Agreement, the Company shall be permitted to notify parties to
confidentiality agreements with the Company that Parent was a Process Participant (as defined in
the Confidentiality Agreement) and may respond to inquiries from such parties solely in respect of
the same.
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, at any time prior to the
receipt of the Company Stockholder Approval, in the event that the Company receives an unsolicited,
bona fide written Acquisition Proposal made after the date hereof in circumstances not involving a
breach of this Agreement by the Company, the Company and its Board of Directors may engage in
negotiations or substantive discussions (including, as a part thereof, making counterproposals)
with, or furnish any information and other access to, any Person making such Acquisition Proposal
and its Representatives or potential sources of financing if the Company’s Board of Directors
determines in good faith, after consultation with the Company’s outside legal and financial
advisors, that (A) such Acquisition Proposal constitutes or could reasonably be expected to result
(including after the taking of any actions permitted by this Section 6.4(b) following such
determination by the Company’s Board of Directors) in a Superior Proposal and (B) the failure to
take such action would be reasonably likely to be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary duties
to the stockholders of the Company
46
under applicable Law; provided that (x) prior to furnishing any material nonpublic
information, the Company receives from such Person an executed confidentiality agreement containing
terms that are not materially less favorable to the Company than those contained in the
Confidentiality Agreement (it being understood and agreed that such confidentiality agreement need
not restrict the making of Acquisition Proposals (and related communications) to the Company or the
Company’s Board of Directors, and shall contain provisions that expressly permit the Company to
comply with the provisions of this Section 6.4); provided that such confidentiality
agreement may not include any provision calling for an exclusive right to negotiate with the
Company; and (y) any such material nonpublic information so furnished has been previously provided
to Parent or is provided to Parent substantially concurrently with it being so furnished to such
Person or its Representatives. The Company shall provide Parent with a correct and complete copy
of any confidentiality agreement entered into pursuant to this paragraph within twenty-four (24)
hours of the execution thereof. The Company shall direct, and use commercially reasonable efforts
to ensure that its Representatives are aware of the provisions of this Section 6.4(b).
Without limiting the foregoing, it is understood that any violation of the foregoing restrictions
by the Company’s Subsidiaries or Representatives shall be deemed to be a breach of this
Section 6.4(b) by the Company. Nothing in this Agreement shall restrict the Company from
taking or disclosing a position contemplated by Rules 14d-9 or 14e-2(a) under the Exchange Act, or
otherwise making disclosure to comply with applicable Law; provided, that any such disclosure that
constitutes a Change in Recommendation shall be subject to Section 6.4(c) (it being agreed
that a “stop, look and listen” communication by the Board of Directors to the Company’s
stockholders pursuant to Rule 14d-9(f) under the Exchange Act or a factually accurate public
statement by the Company that describes the Company’s receipt of an Acquisition Proposal and the
operation of this Agreement with respect thereto shall not be deemed to be a Change in
Recommendation).
(c) Except as expressly provided or permitted by this Section 6.4(c), the Board of
Directors of the Company shall not (i) (A) withdraw (or modify in a manner adverse to Parent or
Merger Sub), or publicly propose to withdraw (or so modify), the recommendation by the Board of
Directors of the Company of the Merger or this Agreement or (B) recommend, adopt or approve, or
propose publicly to recommend, adopt or approve, any Acquisition Proposal (including, for these
purposes (but subject to the parenthetical in the last sentence of Section 6.4(b), which
disclosures shall not constitute the recommendation of an Acquisition Proposal), by taking no
position with respect to the acceptance by the Company’s stockholders of a tender or exchange
offer, which shall constitute the recommendation of an Acquisition Proposal) (any action described
in this clause (i) being referred to as a “Change in Recommendation”) or (ii) approve or
recommend, or allow the Company or any of its Affiliates to execute or enter into, any letter of
intent, memorandum of understanding, agreement in principle, merger agreement, acquisition
agreement, option agreement, joint venture agreement, partnership agreement or other similar
agreement constituting or related to, or that is intended to or would reasonably be expected to
lead to, any Acquisition Proposal (other than a confidentiality agreement referred to in
Section 6.4(b)). Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, at any time
prior to the receipt of the Company Stockholder Approval, the Board of Directors of the Company may
make a Change in Recommendation if the Board of Directors of the Company determines in good faith
(after consultation with its outside legal and financial advisors) that the failure to take such
action would be reasonably likely to be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary duties to the
stockholders of the Company under
47
applicable Law either (i) based only upon any fact, event, circumstance, development or change
that is unknown to the Company’s Board of Directors as of the date hereof but becomes known prior
to the Company Special Meeting (or if known, the magnitude or consequences of which were not
reasonably foreseeable by the Company’s Board of Directors as of the date hereof) (an
“Intervening Event”), or (ii) if the Board of Directors of the Company determines in good
faith (after consultation with its outside legal and financial advisors) that the Company has
received an Acquisition Proposal which constitutes a Superior Proposal; provided,
however, that no Change in Recommendation may be made (A) until after the fifth (5th)
Business Day following Parent’s receipt of written notice from the Company advising Parent that the
Board of Directors of the Company intends to make a Change in Recommendation (a “Notice of
Adverse Recommendation”) and specifying the reasons therefor, including, if the basis of the
proposed action by the Company’s Board of Directors is (x) an Intervening Event, details of such
event or (y) a Superior Proposal, the terms and conditions of any such Superior Proposal (it being
understood and agreed that any amendment to the financial terms or any other material term of such
Superior Proposal shall require a new Notice of Adverse Recommendation and a new five (5) Business
Day period) and (B) provided, that, during the five (5) Business Day period following the
date of receipt of the Notice of Adverse Recommendation, if requested by Parent, the Company shall
engage in good-faith negotiations with Parent to amend this Agreement in such a manner that (v) the
Intervening Event is no longer a basis for a Change in Recommendation or (w) the Acquisition
Proposal that was determined to constitute a Superior Proposal is no longer a Superior Proposal, as
applicable. Any Notice of Adverse Recommendation shall be accompanied by a copy of the most
current version of any written agreement (or draft thereof) relating to the transaction that
constitutes the related Superior Proposal. In determining whether to make a Change in
Recommendation or in determining whether an Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal,
the Board of Directors of the Company shall take into account any changes to the terms of this
Agreement proposed by Parent (which changes may be based on changes to the terms of the Intel
Purchase Agreement proposed by Intel Buyer) in response to a Notice of Adverse Recommendation or
otherwise. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, in the event Parent receives a
Notice of Adverse Recommendation, Parent may, during such five (5) Business Day period, engage in
discussions with the Intel Buyer with respect to modifications to the Intel Purchase Agreement
related to such good faith negotiations with Parent and enter into any agreement, arrangement or
understanding in furtherance thereof provided that such agreement, arrangement or understanding is
not materially adverse to the Company; it being understood and agreed that any agreement,
arrangement or understanding which limits or impairs the ability of the Intel Buyer to engage in
discussions with or provide information to any Person shall be deemed materially adverse to the
Company.
(d) In addition to the other obligations of the Company set forth in this Section 6.4,
the Company shall promptly advise Parent in writing of any Acquisition Proposal, and in no event
later than twenty-four (24) hours after receipt, if any proposal, offer or inquiry is received by,
any information is requested from, or any discussions or negotiations are sought to be initiated or
continued with, the Company in respect of any Acquisition Proposal (including any changes thereto)
and the identity of the Person making any such proposal, offer or inquiry and the terms and
conditions thereof (and shall include with such notice copies of any written materials received
from or on behalf of such Person relating to any Acquisition Proposal). The Company shall (i) keep
Parent promptly and reasonably informed of all material developments
48
affecting the status and material details (including any material change to the terms thereof)
of any such Acquisition Proposal and any discussions and negotiations concerning the material terms
and conditions thereof and (ii) provide to Parent as soon as practicable after receipt or delivery
thereof copies of all material written correspondence relating to any such Acquisition Proposal
exchanged between the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and the Person making
the proposal, offer, inquiry or request, on the other hand.
Section 6.5 Employee Benefits.
(a) For eighteen (18) months following the Effective Time, subject to any requirements imposed
by local Law, Parent shall, and shall cause its Affiliates (including the Surviving Corporation and
its Subsidiaries) to, provide to those individuals who are employed by the Post-Sale Company
immediately prior to the Effective Time (the “Continuing Employees”) and who remain in the
employment of the Surviving Corporation (i) base salary or hourly wage rates that, on an
individual-by-individual basis, are no less favorable than those provided to such Continuing
Employees immediately prior to the Effective Time (ii) total incentive compensation opportunities
(excluding any (A) equity or equity-based compensation opportunities and (B) retention and other
incentives implemented in connection with the Transactions) that, on an individual-by-individual
basis, are no less favorable than the total incentive compensation opportunities (excluding any (A)
equity or equity-based compensation opportunities, except to the extent deemed appropriate by
Parent, and (B) retention and other incentives implemented in connection with the Transactions)
available to such Continuing Employees immediately prior to the Effective Time; and (iii) employee
benefits (excluding defined benefit and other pension plans) that are substantially comparable in
the aggregate to the employee benefits (excluding defined benefit and other pension plans) provided
to such Continuing Employees immediately prior to the Effective Time. Parent shall have no
obligation to provide equity based incentives or defined benefit or other pension plans to the
Continuing Employees following the Effective Time. Parent shall, and shall cause its Affiliates
(including the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries) to, cause any employee benefit plans
covering any of the Continuing Employees following the Effective Time (collectively, the
“Post-Closing Plans”) to recognize the service of each Continuing Employee (to the extent
such service was recognized by the Company and its Affiliates under Benefit Plans) for all purposes
of vesting, eligibility and benefit entitlement (but excluding benefit accruals), except to the
extent such service credit would result in a duplication of benefits for the same period. Parent
shall cause each Post-Closing Plan to waive pre-existing condition limitations to the extent waived
or not applicable under the analogous Benefit Plan, and Parent shall cause the Continuing Employees
to be given credit under the applicable Post-Closing Plan for amounts paid prior to the Effective
Time during the year in which the Effective Time occurs under a corresponding Benefit Plan during
the same period for purposes of applying deductibles, co-payments and out-of-pocket maximums as
though such amounts had been paid in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Post-Closing
Plan.
(b) Parent and the Company hereby agree that the occurrence of the Effective Time shall
constitute a “Change in Control” for purposes of all Benefit Plans in which the term is relevant.
(c) For eighteen (18) months following the Effective Time, Parent shall, and shall cause its
Affiliates (including the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries) to,
49
pay to any Continuing Employee whose service with Parent and its Affiliates is terminated
during such eighteen (18) month period severance benefits that are no less favorable than those
provided to such Continuing Employee under the terms of the Company severance plan or program in
which such individual is eligible to participate as of the date hereof.
(d) Following the date hereof, Parent and the Company shall cooperate, and the Company shall
take all actions reasonably requested by Parent, on or prior to December 31, 2010, as are necessary
to reduce and/or avoid the application of Section 280G of the Code to the payments to be made to
the individuals whose names are set forth on Section 6.5(g)
of the Company Disclosure Schedule
(which actions may include, for example, accelerating the vesting or payment of equity awards or
accelerating the payment of 2010 bonuses); provided, that in determining whether a Parent request
is reasonable, the Company shall take into account potential material financial effects on the
executives as well as the Company’s ability to retain the executives in the event the Closing does
not occur.
(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no provision of this Agreement shall (i) create any right
in any employee to continued employment by Parent, the Company, the Post-Sale Company, the
Surviving Corporation or any respective Subsidiary thereof, or preclude the ability of Parent, the
Company, the Surviving Corporation or any respective Subsidiary thereof to terminate the employment
of any employee for any reason or (ii) require Parent, the Company, the Post-Sale Company, the
Surviving Corporation, or any respective Subsidiary thereof, to continue any Benefit Plan or
prevent the amendment, modification, or termination thereof in accordance with plan terms after the
Closing Date.
(f) This Section 6.5 shall be binding upon and shall inure solely to the benefit of
each of the parties to this Agreement, and nothing in this Section 6.5, express or implied,
is intended to confer upon any other Person any rights or remedies of any nature whatsoever under
or by reason of this Section 6.5 or is intended to be, shall constitute or be construed as
an amendment to or modification of any employee benefit plan, program, arrangement or policy of
Parent, the Company, the Post-Sale Company, the Surviving Corporation or any respective Subsidiary
thereof.
(g) Immediately following the Closing, Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to
terminate the employment of the individuals listed on Section 6.5(g) of the Company Disclosure
Schedule. Parent agrees that such terminations shall be treated as terminations of employment
by the Surviving Corporation without “cause” for purposes of the employment agreements entered into
between the Company and such individuals. Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to pay each
such individual all amounts contemplated for payment to such individual by his or her employment
agreement, in each case in the manner and as determined by the terms of his or her employment
agreement in effect on the date hereof, and in each case consistent with the methodologies utilized
by the Company in the calculations previously delivered by the Company to Parent on September 14,
2010.
Section 6.6 Publicity. Neither the Company nor Parent (nor any of their respective
Affiliates) shall issue any press release or make any public announcement with respect to this
Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby without the prior agreement of the other party
(and none of Parent or its Affiliates shall issue or make any press release or other
50
public announcement with respect to the Intel Purchase Agreement or the Intel Transaction
without the prior agreement of the Company). Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any
communications to be delivered orally, including by conference call or webcast, this Section
6.6 shall be deemed satisfied if, to the extent practicable, the disclosing party gives advance
notice of such disclosure to the other party, including copies of any talking points, scripts or
similar documents, and consults with the other party and considers in good faith any comments by
such other party with respect thereto; provided, however, the prior agreement of
the other party shall be required with respect to such disclosures to the extent that the
non-disclosing party reasonably determines that any such disclosure would be materially adverse to
the non-disclosing party. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentences of this Section 6.6, (i)
each party shall be permitted to issue any press release or make any public announcement or
disclosure as provided by this Agreement or as may be required by Law or by any listing agreement
with a national securities exchange, in which case the party proposing to issue such press release
or make such public announcement or disclosure shall use its reasonable efforts to consult in good
faith with the other party before making any such public announcements, and (ii) either party may
make any oral or written public announcements, releases or statements without complying with the
foregoing procedures if the substance of such announcements, releases or statements was publicly
disclosed and previously subject to the foregoing requirements for agreement and/or consultation
and consideration. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company will no longer be required to consult
with Parent in connection with any such press release or public announcement if the Company’s Board
of Directors has effected any Change in Recommendation or shall have resolved to do so.
Section 6.7 Directors’ and Officers’ Insurance and Indemnification.
(a) Parent and Merger Sub agree that all rights to exculpation and indemnification for acts or
omissions occurring at or prior to the Effective Time, whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or
after the Effective Time (including any matters arising in connection with the Transactions), now
existing in favor of the Company Indemnified Parties as provided in the organizational documents of
the Company or its Subsidiaries or in any Contract, in each case as in effect on the date of this
Agreement, accurate and complete copies of which (or forms thereof) have been provided to Parent
(except as provided herein), shall survive the Merger and shall continue in full force and effect.
Parent shall (and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to) (A) indemnify, defend and hold
harmless, and advance expenses to D&O Indemnified Parties with respect to all acts or omissions by
them in their capacities as such at any time prior to the Effective Time (including any matters
arising in connection with the Transactions), to the fullest extent that the Company or its
Subsidiaries would be permitted by applicable Law and (B) indemnify, defend and hold harmless, and
advance expenses to Company Indemnified Parties with respect to all acts or omissions by them in
their capacities as such at any time prior to the Effective Time (including any matters arising in
connection with the Transactions) to the fullest extent required by the organizational documents of
the Company or its Subsidiaries as in effect on the date of this Agreement; provided that
in the case of clauses (A) and (B), the Person to whom expenses are advanced provides a customary
undertaking to repay such advances if it is finally determined that such Person was not entitled to
indemnification with respect to the applicable act or omission. Parent shall cause the certificate
of incorporation, bylaws or other organizational documents of the Surviving Corporation and its
Subsidiaries to contain provisions with respect to indemnification, advancement of expenses and
limitation of
51
director, officer, member of board of managers and employee liability that are no less
favorable to the Company Indemnified Parties than those set forth in the Company’s and its
Subsidiaries’ organizational documents as of the date of this Agreement, which provisions
thereafter shall not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified in any manner that would adversely
affect the rights thereunder of the Company Indemnified Parties, unless such modification shall be
required by applicable Law.
(b) Without limiting the provisions of Section 6.7(a), to the fullest extent that the
Company would be permitted by applicable Law to do so, Parent shall (and shall cause the Surviving
Corporation to): (i) indemnify and hold harmless each D&O Indemnified Party against and from any
costs or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines, losses, claims,
damages, liabilities and amounts paid in settlement in connection with any claim, action, suit,
proceeding or investigation, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, to the
extent such claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation arises out of or pertains to: (A) any
action or omission or alleged action or omission taken or not taken in such D&O Indemnified Party’s
capacity as a director, officer or employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries prior to the
Effective Time; or (B) this Agreement, the Intel Purchase Agreement and any of the Transactions;
and (ii) pay in advance of the final disposition of any such claim, action, suit, proceeding or
investigation the reasonable expenses (including attorneys’ fees) of any D&O Indemnified Party upon
receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such D&O Indemnified Party to repay such amount if it
shall ultimately be determined that such D&O Indemnified Party is not entitled to be indemnified;
provided, however, that Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall not be liable
for any settlement effected without Parent’s or the Surviving Corporation’s prior written consent
(such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary contained in this Section 6.7(b) or elsewhere in this Agreement, Parent
shall not (and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation not to) settle or compromise or consent
to the entry of any judgment or otherwise seek termination with respect to any claim, action, suit,
proceeding or investigation, unless such settlement, compromise, consent or termination includes an
unconditional release of all of the D&O Indemnified Parties covered by the claim, action, suit,
proceeding or investigation from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit, proceeding
or investigation.
(c) Parent shall provide or cause the Surviving Corporation to provide, for a period of not
less than six (6) years after the Effective Time, the D&O Indemnified Parties who are insured under
the Company’s directors’ and officers’ insurance and indemnification policies (a correct and
complete copy of which has been made available to Parent) with insurance and indemnification
policies, or “tail policies,” in each case, that provides coverage for events occurring at or prior
to the Effective Time (the “D&O Insurance”) that is no less favorable than the existing
policies of the Company or, if substantially equivalent insurance coverage is unavailable, the best
available coverage; provided, however, that Parent and the Surviving Corporation
shall not be required to pay an annual premium for the D&O Insurance (or an amount for any such
“tail policy”) in excess of three hundred percent (300%) of the last annual premium paid by the
Company for such insurance prior to the date hereof; provided, further, that if the
annual premiums of such insurance coverage (or cost of such tail policy) exceed such amount, Parent
and the Surviving Corporation shall be obligated to obtain policies (or a “tail policy”) with the
greatest coverage available for a cost not exceeding such amount. The D&O Indemnified Parties may
be required to make reasonable application and provide reasonable and
52
customary representations and warranties to applicable insurance carriers for the purpose of
obtaining such insurance.
(d) The D&O Indemnified Parties and Company Indemnified Parties to whom this Section
6.7 applies shall be third-party beneficiaries of this Section 6.7. The provisions of
this Section 6.7 are intended to be for the benefit of each D&O Indemnified Party and
Company Indemnified Party and his or her successors, heirs or representatives. Parent shall pay
all reasonable expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, that may be incurred by any D&O
Indemnified Party or Company Indemnified Party in enforcing its indemnity and other rights under
this Section 6.7.
(e) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, this Section 6.7 shall
survive the consummation of the Merger indefinitely and shall be binding, jointly and severally, on
all successors and assigns of Parent and the Surviving Corporation, and shall be enforceable by the
D&O Indemnified Parties and Company Indemnified Parties and their successors, heirs or
representatives. In the event that Parent or the Surviving Corporation or any of its successors or
assigns consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or
surviving Person of such consolidation or merger, or transfers or conveys all or a majority of its
properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, proper provision shall be made so
that the successors and assigns of Parent or the Surviving Corporation, as applicable, shall
succeed to the obligations set forth in this Section 6.7.
(f) From and after the Closing, Parent shall, and shall cause the Surviving Corporation to,
honor the director and officer litigation reimbursement policy in effect as of the date hereof, a
copy of which is set forth in Section 6.7(f) of the Company Disclosure Schedule.
Section 6.8 Company Special Meeting; Proxy Statement.
(a) As soon as reasonably practicable following the date of this Agreement, the Company shall
prepare with Parent and file with the SEC a preliminary Proxy Statement and furnish the information
required to be provided to the stockholders of the Company pursuant to the DGCL and any other
applicable Laws. The Company shall use its reasonable efforts to respond to any comments of the
SEC or its staff and cause the Proxy Statement to be mailed to the stockholders of the Company as
soon as reasonably practicable after the Proxy Statement has been cleared by the SEC for mailing to
the stockholders of the Company. Each of the Company and Parent shall supply such information
specifically for inclusion or incorporation by reference in the Proxy Statement necessary so that,
at the date it is first mailed to the Company’s stockholders or at the time of the Company Special
Meeting, the Proxy Statement shall not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to
state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements
therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading. Each of the
parties hereto shall use their reasonable efforts so that the Proxy Statement will comply as to
form in all material respects with the requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and
regulations thereunder. If at any time prior to the Effective Time any information relating to
Parent or the Company or any of their respective Affiliates, officers or directors should become
known to Parent or the Company which should be set forth in an amendment or supplement to the Proxy
53
Statement, so that such document would not include any untrue statement of a material fact or
omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, the party which discovers such
information shall promptly notify the other parties hereto and an appropriate amendment or
supplement describing such information shall be promptly filed with the SEC and, to the extent
required by Law, disseminated to the stockholders of the Company. The Company agrees to provide
Parent and its counsel any comments or communications, whether written or oral, that the Company or
its counsel may receive from time to time from the SEC or its staff with respect to the Proxy
Statement promptly after receipt of such comments or communications. Prior to the filing or
mailing of the Proxy Statement (or any amendment or supplement thereto) or responding to any
comments of the SEC or its staff with respect thereto, Parent and its counsel shall be given a
reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such document or any proposed responses to such
comments or communications, and the Company shall give due consideration to all reasonable
additions, deletions or changes suggested thereto by Parent and its counsel.
(b) The Company shall, as soon as reasonably practicable after the Proxy Statement is cleared
by the SEC for mailing to the stockholders of the Company, in accordance with applicable Law and
its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Amended and Restated Bylaws, establish a
record date for, duly call, give notice of, convene and hold a special meeting of the Company’s
stockholders (including any adjournment or postponement thereof, the “Company Special
Meeting”) for the purpose of obtaining the Company Stockholder Approval. The Company’s
obligations pursuant to this Section 6.8 shall not be diminished or otherwise affected by
(i) the receipt, disclosure or commencement of any Acquisition Proposal (whether or not a Superior
Proposal) or (ii) any proposed or actual change, qualification, withdrawal or modification of the
Company Board Recommendation.
(c) The Company shall, through the Board of Directors of the Company (in the case of clauses
(i) and (ii)), but subject to the right to make a Change in Recommendation in accordance with
Section 6.4, (i) recommend to the stockholders of the Company that such stockholders adopt
this Agreement and give the Company Stockholder Approval (the “Company Board
Recommendation”), (ii) include the Company Board Recommendation in the Proxy Statement and
(iii) use reasonable best efforts to solicit the Company Stockholder Approval. If there shall have
been a Change in Recommendation, the Company shall nevertheless submit this Agreement and the
Merger to a vote of its stockholders, and the Proxy Statement and any and all accompanying
materials (including, if the Change in Recommendation occurs after the mailing of the Proxy
Statement to stockholders of the Company, the proxy card, which shall provide that signed proxies
which do not specify the manner in which the Shares subject thereto are to be voted shall be voted
“FOR” adopting this Agreement) shall be identical in form and content to proxy materials that would
have been prepared by the Company had no Change in Recommendation been made, except for appropriate
changes to the disclosure in the Proxy Statement stating that such Change in Recommendation has
been made and, if applicable, describing matters relating to the Superior Proposal or Intervening
Event giving rise to the Change in Recommendation to the extent required by applicable Law, and
provided that the Company shall not be obligated to recommend to its stockholders the adoption of
this Agreement or the approval of the Merger at the Company Special Meeting if the Board of
Directors of the Company shall have made a Change in
54
Recommendation in accordance with Section 6.4. Prior to any Change in Recommendation,
the Company shall provide Parent with such information with respect to the solicitation of the
Company Stockholder Approval as Parent may reasonably request.
Section 6.9 Appropriate Actions.
(a) Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, each of the

Governmental Entity, the opportunity to attend or participate; (x) obtain all necessary consents,

termination of each contract (including those contracts listed in Section 6.9(a) of the Company

Company’s personnel to hold a Personnel Security Clearances (“PCL”) (a “6.9(a)(1)
Contract”), (B) terminate all FCLs and related PCLs at all Other Facilities pursuant to Section
2-110 of the NISPOM, (C) receive written confirmation that each such FCL and related PCL was

hereby at the behest of any Governmental Entity without the consent of the other parties to this
Agreement, it being understood that withdrawal of a Filing and subsequent refiling thereof by a
party shall require the consent of the other party.
(b) Notwithstanding Section 6.9(a), or any other provision of this Agreement, the
Company shall not, without Parent’s prior written consent, commit to any divestiture transaction
or, subject to the terms of Section 6.9(c), agree to any restriction on its business, and
nothing in this Section 6.9 shall (i) limit any applicable rights a party may have to
terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1 so long as such party has up to then
complied in all material respects with its obligations under this Section 6.9, or (ii)
require Parent to offer, accept or agree to (A) sell, divest, dispose of, or, subject to the terms
of Section 6.9(c), hold separate any part of its or the Company’s businesses, operations,
assets or product lines (or a combination of Parent’s and the Company’s respective businesses,
operations, assets or product lines), (B) not compete in any geographic area or line of business,
and/or (C) subject to the terms of Section 6.9(c), restrict the manner in which, or
whether, Parent, the Company, the Surviving Corporation or any of their Affiliates may carry on
business in any part of the world. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein,
Parent and/or Merger Sub shall not be required to agree to sell, divest, dispose of or, subject to
the terms of Section 6.9(c), hold separate any assets or businesses, or, subject to the
terms of Section 6.9(c), otherwise take or commit to take any action that could reasonably
be expected to limit its freedom of action with respect to, or ability to retain, one or more of
the Company’s businesses, product lines or assets.
(c) In connection with and without limiting anything in this Agreement, as soon as practicable
after the date hereof, Parent and the Company shall prepare, prefile and file with CFIUS a joint
voluntary notice of the transactions contemplated hereby pursuant to Exon-Xxxxxx. Parent and the
Company shall each, to their fullest ability, provide CFIUS with any additional or supplemental
information requested by CFIUS or its member agencies during the Exon-Xxxxxx review process.
Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 6.9(c), Parent and the
Company, in cooperation with each other, shall each use
56
reasonable best efforts to take all steps advisable, necessary or desirable to finally and
successfully complete the Exon-Xxxxxx review process as promptly as practicable and to make any and
all commercially reasonable undertakings necessary to obtain a written notification issued by CFIUS
that it has concluded its review (or, if CFIUS deems a forty-five (45) day investigation necessary,
its investigation) and determined that there are no unresolved national security concerns with
respect to the transactions contemplated hereby so as to enable the consummation of the
transactions contemplated hereby to occur as soon as reasonably possible (and in any event, with
the consummation of the Merger to occur no later than the Termination Date). In addition, as soon
as practicable after the date hereof, the Company shall prepare and submit to the DSS of the United
States Department of Defense (“DoD”) and, to the extent applicable, any other agency of the
United States Government, notification of the transactions contemplated hereby pursuant to the
NISPOM and any other applicable national or industrial security regulations, and the Company shall
fully cooperate with Parent in requesting from DSS approval to operate the business of the Company,
located in Arlington, Virginia, pursuant to a FOCI mitigation arrangement in accordance with the
NISPOM and the remainder of the Company’s business free of any such NISPOM mitigation arrangement.
Such cooperation by the Company shall include using its reasonable best efforts to novate or
terminate each 6.9(a)(1) Contract. The Company, Parent, and Merger Sub each agrees to take any and
all commercially reasonable steps, including agreeing to actions, restrictions or conditions
proposed by CFIUS or any other agency or branch of the U.S. Government, including the DoD, as a
condition to obtaining CFIUS and DoD approval for the transactions contemplated hereby on the terms
above.
(d) The Company and its Board of Directors shall (i) use their commercially reasonable efforts
to ensure that no state takeover statute or similar statute or regulation is or becomes applicable
to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and (ii) if any state takeover statute or
similar statute becomes applicable to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, use their
commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that such transactions may be consummated as promptly as
practicable on the terms contemplated by this Agreement and otherwise to minimize the effect of
such statute or regulation on the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

necessary to (a) cause Merger Sub and the Surviving Corporation to perform promptly their
respective obligations under this Agreement, (b) cause Merger Sub to consummate the Merger on the
terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and (c) ensure that, prior to the Effective Time,
Merger Sub shall not conduct any business, make any investments or incur or guarantee any
indebtedness, other than consummating the Merger pursuant to this Agreement.
Section 6.11 No Control of Other Party’s Business. Nothing contained in this
Agreement is intended to give Parent or Merger Sub, directly or indirectly, the right to control or
direct the Company’s or its Subsidiaries’ operations prior to the Effective Time. Prior to the
Effective Time, the Company shall exercise, consistent with the terms and conditions of this
Agreement, complete control and supervision over its and its Subsidiaries’ respective operations in
accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.
57

financial statements of any such entity at such times and in such amounts as are in accordance with
past practice for all Taxes payable by such entity for which no Tax Return is due prior to the

Section 6.13 Stockholder Litigation. The Company shall give Parent the opportunity to
participate (at Parent’s expense) in the defense or settlement of any stockholder litigation
against the Company and/or its directors relating to the Transactions, and no such settlement shall
be agreed to without Parent’s prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld,
delayed or conditioned).
Section 6.14 Section 16 Matters. Prior to the Closing, the Company shall use
reasonable efforts to cause any dispositions of the Shares (including derivative securities with
respect to the Shares) resulting from the transactions contemplated by this Agreement by each
individual who is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act with
respect to the Company to be exempt under Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act.

or its Subsidiaries (other than the Intel Companies).
58
(b) At or prior to the Intel Closing, in accordance with Section 6.12(b) of the Intel Purchase
Agreement, (1) the Company shall cause to be terminated, paid in full or otherwise discharged all
liabilities of the Transferred Intel Companies in respect of (i) indebtedness for borrowed money,
(ii) indebtedness evidenced by notes, debentures or similar instruments, (iii) letters of credit or
similar facilities and (iv) payments under interest rate or foreign currency swap or similar
arrangements, and (2) the Company shall cause all Liens against the Transferred Shares (as defined

Company shall, and shall cause the Intel Companies to, during the period beginning on the date

the Intel Closing, in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practices.
Section 6.18 Intel Purchase Agreement; Intel Transaction Matters.
(a) To the extent requested by the Company, Parent and Merger Sub shall cooperate with the
Company in causing the consummation of the Intel Transaction and the Closing contemplated by this
Agreement to occur and be effected on the same date, with the Intel Closing to precede the Closing,
in each case, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement and the Intel
Purchase Agreement. Subject to the last sentence of Section 6.4(c), without the prior
written consent of the other party, prior to the Effective Time each of Parent and the Company
shall not, and shall cause its respective Affiliates not to, enter into any agreement, arrangement
or understanding (other than as provided in this Agreement and the Intel Purchase Agreement) with
Intel Buyer or its Affiliates with respect to the Transactions.
(b) Without the prior written consent of Parent, the Company shall not (i) amend, modify or
waive any provision of the Intel Purchase Agreement in a manner that materially and adversely
affects Parent’s rights and obligations; it being understood and agreed that any amendment,
modification or waiver which (A) decreases the price paid by the Intel Buyer for the Intel
Business, (B) materially increases the conditionality of the closing of the Intel Transaction
(including with respect to the related acquisition financing, if any), (C) increases the potential
liability of such transaction to Parent or the Post-Sale Company (including through a modification
to Section 9.2 or 9.3 of the Intel Purchase Agreement) or (D) amends, modifies or waives Section
6.10, Annex A, 6.12, 6.16 or 6.17 of the Intel Purchase Agreement or materially amends or modifies
Section 2.3 of the Intel Purchase Agreement, in each case, shall be deemed, without exclusion of
other amendments, modifications or waivers, to materially and adversely affect Parent’s rights and
obligations, or (ii) terminate the Intel Purchase Agreement by the mutual written agreement of the
Company and Intel Buyer. Subject to the foregoing, the Company shall deliver promptly to Parent
copies of all amendments, modifications and waivers to the Intel Purchase Agreement.
59
(c) Except as otherwise prohibited by Law, the Company shall, as promptly as practicable,
deliver to Parent copies of all material notices and other material written communications
delivered pursuant to the Intel Purchase Agreement and shall provide Parent reasonably prompt
notice of any material developments relating to consummation of the transactions pursuant to the

shall cooperate with Parent in good faith to assist Parent in identifying direct or indirect
domestic corporate Subsidiaries of the Company, other than the Intel Companies, that can be
converted into domestic limited liability companies without requiring novation, third party
consents or otherwise adversely impacting customer relationships (“Conversion-Eligible
Subsidiaries”). Upon written request of Parent delivered within the later of (i) sixty (60)
days after the date hereof or (ii) ten (10) days after obtaining the necessary information, to the
extent such information reasonably is available and in accordance with Section 6.3, that is
reasonably required for Parent to determine whether it is advantageous to it from a U.S. federal
income tax perspective to convert any of the Conversion-Eligible Subsidiaries into a limited
liability company, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to convert the
Conversion-Eligible Subsidiaries specified in such request to limited liability companies,
provided, that Parent shall be liable for the payment of any and all costs or expenses related to
the conversion of the Conversion-Eligible Subsidiaries into limited liability companies, and shall
remit such payment to the Company prior to any such conversion. In no event shall the Company be
required to effect any such conversion prior to one day before the Effective Time. In the event
that a conversion is effected, the Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, refrain from
making any election under Treasury Regulation Section 301.7701-3 to treat the resulting domestic
limited liability company as an association taxable as a corporation.
Section 6.20 Basis Study. At Parent’s written request, and subject to Parent’s
approval of the engagement letter and the scope of work, the Company shall engage an accounting
firm (the “Basis Study Firm”) to perform a tax basis study with respect to the stock of one
or more of the Company’s direct or indirect Subsidiaries that are “controlled foreign corporations”
for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The information that the Company and its Subsidiaries shall
be required to provide to the Basis Study Firm shall be governed by Section 6.3, and solely
for purposes of the application of Section 6.3 to the provision of information to the Basis
Study Firm, the Basis Study Firm shall be deemed to be a “Representative” of Parent. The Basis
Study Firm shall be directed to provide its final report, and any interim drafts of such report, to
each of the Company and Parent. Parent shall pay the costs, fees and expenses of the Basis Study
Firm under the terms of the engagement contemplated by this Section 6.20. The engagement
letter with the Basis Study Firm shall not impose any completion date on the Company that is
related to the Basis Study Firm’s work thereunder, and in no event shall the Closing be impeded or
delayed as a result of the timing of the completion of the Basis Study Firm’s work thereunder.

ARTICLE VIII
TERMINATION
Section 8.1 Termination. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary,
this Agreement may be terminated and the Merger contemplated by this Agreement may be abandoned as
follows:
(a) at any time, by the mutual written agreement of the Company and Parent;
(b) by either the Company or Parent:
(i) if the Merger has not been consummated on or prior to the nine (9) month
anniversary of the date hereof (the “Termination Date”) by delivering written notice
to the other party no earlier than five (5) Business Days following such nine (9) month
anniversary; provided, however, that if, as of the Termination Date, (A) any
of the conditions to the Merger set forth in Section 7.1(b) (to the extent related
to regulatory approvals), Section 7.1(c), Section 7.1(d) or Section
7.2(f) have not been satisfied or waived, but all other conditions to the Merger have
been satisfied or waived (other than (1) those conditions which by their nature can only be
satisfied at or immediately prior to the Effective Time, which conditions would be satisfied
if the Closing Date were the Termination Date, or (2) the condition in Section
7.2(e) to the extent that the failure of such condition to be satisfied is the result of
the failure of any of the conditions set forth in Section 7.1 of the Intel Purchase
Agreement) or (B) the Company has delivered to Parent a Substitution Exercise Notice
pursuant to Section 8.3, then either the Company or Parent, in such party’s sole
discretion, may extend the Termination Date for up to three (3) additional months by
delivering written notice to the other party at any time prior to the date that is five (5)
Business Days after the date which is nine (9) months after the date hereof;
provided, further, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this
Section 8.1(b)(i) shall not be available to any party whose failure to
63
fulfill any obligation under this Agreement has been a principal cause of, or resulted
in, the failure of the Merger to be consummated on or prior to such date;
(ii) if any Governmental Entity having jurisdiction over the Company, Parent or Merger
Sub shall have issued a Restraint permanently enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the
consummation of the Merger and such Restraint shall have become final and non-appealable;
provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this
Section 8.1(b)(ii) shall not be available to any party whose failure to fulfill any
obligation under this Agreement has been the primary cause of, or primarily resulted in,
such order, decree, ruling or action, and provided, further, that the party
seeking to terminate this Agreement under this Section 8.1(b)(ii) shall have used
reasonable best efforts to cause any such order, decree, ruling or action to be vacated or
lifted or to ameliorate the effects thereof to the extent required to do so by the terms of
this Agreement;
(iii) if the Intel Purchase Agreement has been terminated in accordance with its terms;
provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this
Section 8.1(b)(iii) shall not be available to Parent until the date that is five (5)
Business Days after the date that the Intel Purchase Agreement is terminated in accordance
with its terms; provided, further, that, the right to terminate this
Agreement under this Section 8.1(b)(iii) shall not be available to Parent in the
event that the Company delivers a Substitution Exercise Notice to Parent prior to the date
that is five (5) Business Days after the date that the Intel Purchase Agreement is
terminated in accordance with its terms;
(iv) if the Intel Purchase Agreement has been terminated in accordance with its terms
and the Company has entered into a Substitute Intel Agreement pursuant to Section
8.3; provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement under
this Section 8.1(b)(iv) must be exercised by Parent by written notice to the Company
within three (3) Business Days of Parent’s receipt of notice that the Substitute Intel
Agreement has been executed; provided, further, that the right to terminate
this Agreement under this Section 8.1(b)(iv) shall not be available to Parent if the
Substitute Intel Buyer and Substitute Intel Agreement would not reasonably be expected to
materially and adversely affect Parent’s rights or obligations (as compared with the Intel
Buyer and Intel Purchase Agreement), taking into account all relevant factors, including the
terms and conditions of the Substitute Intel Agreement and the financial position of the
Substitute Intel Buyer (the “Substitute Determination”); provided that the
Company and Parent agree that it would not be unreasonable for Parent to exercise its
termination right pursuant to this Section 8.1(b)(iv) if (A) the purchase price in
such Substitute Intel Agreement is less than the Purchase Price (as defined in the Intel
Purchase Agreement), (B) there was materially increased conditionality imposed on the
Transactions (including by reason of the identity and nature of the Substitute Intel Buyer
and/or its financing arrangements), including the Intel Transaction, (C) there is an

failures to replicate
64
Section 2.3, 6.10, 6.12, 6.16 or 6.17 of the Intel Purchase Agreement which failure is
materially adverse to Parent or the Post-Sale Company;
(v) if the Company Stockholder Approval shall not have been obtained at the Company
Special Meeting duly convened therefor or at any adjournment or postponement thereof;
provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to
this Section 8.1(b)(v) shall not be available to the Company if it has failed to
comply in all material respects with its obligations under Sections 6.4 and
6.8; or
(c) by the Company if Parent or Merger Sub shall have breached any of its representations,
warranties, covenants or agreements set forth in this Agreement, which breach (A) would give rise
to the failure of a condition set forth in Section 7.3(a) or Section 7.3(b) and (B)
has not been waived by the Company and is incapable of being cured, or is not cured, by Parent or
Merger Sub, as applicable, within forty-five (45) days following receipt of a written notice of
such breach from the Company; provided, however, that the right to terminate this
Agreement under this Section 8.1(c) shall not be available to the Company if it has
materially breached any of its material obligations under this Agreement; or
(d) by Parent:
(i) if the Company shall have breached any of its representations, warranties,
covenants or agreements set forth in this Agreement, which breach (A) would give rise to the
failure of a condition set forth in Section 7.2(a) or Section 7.2(b), and
(B) has not been waived by Parent and is incapable of being cured, or is not cured, by the
Company within forty-five (45) days following receipt of a written notice of such breach
from Parent; provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement
under this Section 8.1(d)(i) shall not be available to Parent if it or Merger Sub
has materially breached any of their material obligations under this Agreement; or
(ii) if (A) a Change in Recommendation shall have occurred, (B) the Company shall have

Special Meeting or a failure to prepare and mail to its stockholders the Proxy Statement in
all material respects in accordance with Section 6.8, (C) the Company shall have
failed to include the Company Board Recommendation in the Proxy Statement or (D) the Company
shall have violated or breached in any material respect any of its material obligations
under Section 6.4.
Section 8.2 Effect of Termination.
(a) If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 8.1, this Agreement shall
become void and of no effect without liability of any party (or such party’s Affiliates or its or
their directors, officers, employees, Representatives or stockholders) to the other parties hereto
other than, with respect to Parent, Merger Sub and the Company, the obligations pursuant to this
Section 8.2 and Article IX, provided, however, that no party shall
be relieved or released from any liabilities or damages (i) arising out of any breach of its
obligations under this Agreement or (ii) fraud by either party or any breach by Parent or Merger
Sub of the representations and warranties in Section 5.6 (Sufficient Funds). Neither the
preceding sentence
65
nor any other provision of this Agreement shall limit the right of any party to seek damages
based on what such party believes to be an appropriate theory of damages, including on whose behalf
such damages may be sought.
(b) If (i) this Agreement is terminated by Parent pursuant to Section 8.1(d)(ii) prior
to the Company Special Meeting or (ii) (A) this Agreement is terminated by Parent pursuant to
Section 8.1(d)(i) or by either Parent or the Company pursuant to Section 8.1(b)(i)
(only if at such time Parent would not be prohibited from terminating this Agreement by application
of the proviso of Section 8.1(b)(i)) or Section 8.1(b)(v), (B) after the date
hereof (but prior to the Company Special Meeting in the case of a termination pursuant to
Section 8.1(b)(v)), an Acquisition Proposal has been publicly announced and (C) within nine
(9) months after such termination, the Company enters into a definitive agreement with respect to,
or consummates an Acquisition Proposal, then, in such event, the Company shall pay to Parent a
termination fee of $25,000,000 in cash (the “Company Termination Fee”) minus any amounts
paid by the Company to Parent pursuant to Section 8.2(d), (x) concurrently with any
termination of this Agreement (in the case of a payment required by clause (i) above) or (y) on the
date of consummation of the transaction referred to in clause (ii)(C) (in the case of a payment
required by clause (ii) above). For purposes of clause (ii)(C) of the immediately preceding
sentence, the term “Acquisition Proposal” shall have the meaning assigned to such term in
Section 1.1, except that the references to “twenty percent (20%)” therein shall be deemed
to be references to “fifty percent (50%)”. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the
Company be required to pay the fee referred to in this Section 8.2(b) (X) on more than one
(1) occasion or (Y) if, at the time this Agreement is terminated, this Agreement could have been
terminated by the Company pursuant to Section 8.1(b)(ii) or Section 8.1(c). The
parties agree that the payment of the Company Termination Fee (minus any amounts paid by the
Company to Parent pursuant to Section 8.2(d)) shall be the sole and exclusive remedy
available to Parent and Merger Sub with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated
hereby in the event any such payment becomes due and payable, and, upon payment of the Company
Termination Fee (minus any amounts paid by the Company to Parent pursuant to Section
8.2(d)), the Company (and the Company’s Affiliates and its and their respective directors,
officers, employees, stockholders and Representatives) shall have no further liability to Parent
and Merger Sub hereunder.
(c) If this Agreement is terminated by the Company or Parent pursuant to Section
8.1(b)(i) or Section 8.1(b)(ii) (to the extent related to regulatory approvals) and, at
the time of such termination, any of the conditions to the Merger set forth in Section
7.1(b) (to the extent related to regulatory approvals), Section 7.1(c) or Section
7.1(d) have not been satisfied or waived, and all other conditions to the Merger (including the
condition set forth in Section 7.2(f)) (other than those conditions which by their nature
can only be satisfied at or immediately prior to the Closing, which conditions would be satisfied
if the Closing Date were the date of termination) have been satisfied or waived, then, in such
event, Parent shall pay to the Company the Parent Termination Fee, concurrently with any
termination of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall Parent be required
to pay the fee referred to in this Section 8.2(c) (X) on more than one (1) occasion or (Y)
if, at the time this Agreement is terminated, this Agreement could have been terminated by Parent
pursuant to Section 8.1(d)(i). The parties agree that the payment of the Parent
Termination Fee shall be the sole and exclusive remedy available to the Company with respect to
this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby in the event any such payment becomes due
and payable, and, upon
66
payment of the Parent Termination Fee, Parent and Merger Sub (and their Affiliates and their
respective directors, officers, employees, stockholders and Representatives) shall have no further
liability to the Company hereunder.
(d) If this Agreement is terminated by (x) the Company or Parent pursuant to Section
8.1(b)(i) and at the time of such termination, the conditions to the Merger set forth in
Section 7.1(b) (to the extent related to regulatory approvals), Section 7.1(c) and
Section 7.1(d) have been satisfied or (y) Parent or the Company pursuant to Section
8.1(b)(iv) or (z) Parent pursuant to Section 8.1(b)(iii), and in each case, no Company
Termination Fee is payable in respect thereof pursuant to Section 8.2(b) at the time of
such termination, then the Company shall pay to Parent, within five (5) Business Days after the
Company’s receipt of Parent’s demand therefor, an amount equal to the Parent Expenses (as defined
below). The parties agree that, subject to the Company’s obligation to pay to Parent the Company
Termination Fee (minus the amount of Parent Expenses previously actually paid to Parent pursuant to
the preceding sentence) if the Company Termination Fee becomes payable pursuant to Section
8.2(b), the payment of the Parent Expenses shall be the sole and exclusive remedy available to
Parent and Merger Sub with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby in
the event any such payment becomes due and payable, and, upon payment of the Parent Expenses, the
Company (and the Company’s Affiliates and its and their respective directors, officers, employees,
stockholders and Representatives) shall have no further liability to Parent and Merger Sub
hereunder. “Parent Expenses” shall mean all documented out-of-pocket fees and expenses
(including fees and expenses of counsel, accountants, financial advisors and investment bankers) up
to an aggregate amount of $12,500,000 incurred by or on behalf of Parent or its Affiliates in
connection with the authorization, preparation, negotiation, execution and performance of this
Agreement and the filing of any required notices under (i) applicable U.S. or foreign antitrust or
competition Laws or other regulations or (ii) Exon-Xxxxxx or NISPOM.
(e) The payments contemplated by Section 8.2(b), Section 8.2(c) and
Section 8.2(d) shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account
designated by Parent and the Company, respectively, and shall be reduced by any amounts required to
be deducted or withheld therefrom under applicable Law in respect of Taxes.
Section 8.3 Certain Substitution Rights. If, at any time prior to the date that is
five (5) Business Days after termination of the Intel Purchase Agreement, the Company notifies
Parent in writing that the Company is exercising its rights under this Section 8.3 (a
“Substitution Exercise Notice”):
(a) The Company may initiate, solicit and encourage the making of a proposal or offer from,
engage in negotiations or discussions with, and furnish any material nonpublic information to, any
Person with respect to the potential acquisition by such Person, directly or indirectly, in one
transaction or a series of transactions, of the Intel Business (a “Substitute Intel
Transaction”).
(b) If requested by the Company, Parent shall reasonably cooperate with the Company in
connection with any discussions and negotiations in respect of any potential Substitute Intel
Transaction.
67
(c) The Company shall promptly advise Parent orally or in writing of any negotiations or
discussions with any Person (a “Substitute Intel Buyer”) with respect to a potential
Substitute Intel Transaction, the material terms and conditions of any such Substitute Intel
Transaction and the identity of the Substitute Intel Buyer. The Company shall (i) keep Parent
reasonably informed of the status and material details (including any material change to the terms
thereof) of any such negotiations or discussions and (ii) provide to Parent as soon as practicable
after receipt or delivery thereof copies of all material written correspondence relating to any
such Substitute Intel Transaction exchanged between the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, on the
one hand, and the Substitute Intel Buyer, on the other hand.
(d) In the event that, following delivery of the Substitution Exercise Notice, the Company
determines to enter into an agreement or agreements (a “Substitute Intel Agreement”) with a
Substitute Intel Buyer providing for a Substitute Intel Transaction (the “Failed Intel Buyer
Substitution Right”), the Company shall, no later than four (4) Business Days prior to entry
into such Substitute Intel Agreement, deliver written notice (the “Failed Buyer Substitution
Notice”) to Parent of the Company’s intention to exercise the Failed Intel Buyer Substitution
Right, which notice shall include (i) a substantially final draft of the Substitute Intel Agreement
and (ii) a statement by the Company as to the Substitute Determination; it being agreed that Parent
shall be deemed to accept the Substitute Determination unless Parent provides written notice of
disagreement to the Company within three (3) Business Days of Parent’s receipt of the Failed Buyer
Substitution Notice. The Company shall notify Parent in writing within two (2) Business Days
following execution of the Substitute Intel Agreement.
(e) For all purposes of this Agreement, upon execution and delivery of the Substitute Intel
Agreement, all references herein to the “Intel Transaction,” “Intel Purchase Agreement,” and “Intel
Buyer” shall become references to the Substitute Intel Transaction, Substitute Intel Agreement and
Substitute Intel Buyer, respectively.

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

Disclosure Schedule or Parent Disclosure Schedule, respectively, if it is reasonably apparent that
such disclosure relates to one or more or all of such Sections. The inclusion of any item in the

Section 9.6 Entire Agreement; Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement (including
the Company Disclosure Schedule, the Parent Disclosure Schedule and the exhibits hereto, together

Company Options, Restricted Stock Awards, Company Deferred Stock Units and Company Warrants (with
respect to their rights under Article III of this Agreement from and after the Effective

70
unenforceable or against its regulatory policy, the remainder of the terms, provisions,
covenants and restrictions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no
way be affected, impaired or invalidated and the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to
modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in
an acceptable manner to the end that the transactions contemplated hereby are fulfilled to the
extent possible.
Section 9.8 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any choice or conflict
of laws provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would

Section 9.9 Jurisdiction. Each of the parties hereto hereby (a) expressly and
irrevocably submits to the exclusive personal jurisdiction of the Delaware Court of Chancery, any
other court of the State of Delaware or any Federal court sitting in the State of Delaware in the
event any dispute arises out of this Agreement or any of the Transactions, (b) agrees that it will

State of Delaware or any Federal court sitting in the State of Delaware and (d) agrees that each of
the other parties shall have the right to bring any action or proceeding for enforcement of a
judgment entered by the Delaware Court of Chancery, any other court of the State of Delaware or any
Federal court sitting in the State of Delaware. Each of Parent, Merger Sub and the Company agrees
that a final judgment in any 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 Law.
Section 9.10 Service of Process. Each party irrevocably consents to the service of
process outside the territorial jurisdiction of the courts referred to in Section 9.9 in
any such action or proceeding by mailing copies thereof by registered or certified United States

of process on the other party by any other legally available method.

ADMINISTRATION, PERFORMANCE AND ENFORCEMENT OF THIS AGREEMENT.
Section 9.12 Specific Performance. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement, the
parties agree that immediate, extensive and irreparable damage would occur for which monetary
damages would not be an adequate remedy in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement
are not performed in accordance with their specific terms or are
71
otherwise breached. Accordingly, the parties agree that, if for any reason Parent, Merger Sub
or the Company shall have failed to perform its obligations under this Agreement, then the party
seeking to enforce this Agreement against such nonperforming party under this Agreement shall be
entitled to specific performance and the issuance of immediate injunctive and other equitable
relief without the necessity of proving the inadequacy of money damages as a remedy, and the
parties further agree to waive any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in
connection with the obtaining of any such injunctive or other equitable relief, this being in
addition to and not in limitation of any other remedy to which they are entitled at Law or in
equity. Without limiting the foregoing, each of the parties hereby acknowledges and agrees that it
may be difficult to prove damages with reasonable certainty, that it may be difficult to procure
suitable substitute performance, and that injunctive relief and/or specific performance will not
cause an undue hardship to the parties. Each of the parties hereby further acknowledges and agrees
that the existence of any other remedy contemplated by this Agreement shall not diminish the
availability of specific performance of the obligations hereunder or any other injunctive relief
and agrees that in the event of any action by the other party for specific performance or
injunctive relief, it will not assert that a remedy at Law or other remedy would be adequate or
that specific performance or injunctive relief in respect of such breach or violation should not be
available on the grounds that money damages are adequate or any other grounds. Any such remedies,
and any and all other remedies provided for in this Agreement, shall be cumulative in nature and
not exclusive and shall be in addition to any other remedies whatsoever which any party may
otherwise have.
Section 9.13 Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or
obligations hereunder shall be assigned by any of the parties hereto (whether by operation of law
or otherwise) without the prior written consent of the other parties; provided, that Parent
and Merger Sub may assign their rights and obligations pursuant to this Agreement to any direct or
indirect wholly owned Subsidiary of Parent so long as Parent continues to remain primarily liable
for all of such rights and obligations. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement will be
binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the parties and their respective
permitted successors and assigns.
Section 9.14 Expenses. Except as otherwise provided herein, all costs and expenses
incurred in connection with this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated
hereby shall be paid by the party incurring such costs and expenses, whether or not the
transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, provided that Parent shall pay all costs and
expenses in connection with the filings of the notification and report forms under the HSR Act in
connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the notice to CFIUS of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement pursuant to Exon-Xxxxxx. Other than Taxes imposed upon
a holder of Shares, Company Options, Restricted Stock Awards, Company Deferred Stock Units or
Company Warrants, Parent shall pay all Taxes incident to preparing for, entering into and carrying
out this Agreement (including (i) transfer, stamp and documentary Taxes or fees and (ii) sales,
use, gains, real property transfer and other or similar Taxes or fees). For the avoidance of
doubt, none of Parent, Merger Sub or the Company shall be responsible for the payment of income
Taxes imposed upon a holder of Shares which result from the transactions contemplated herein.
72
Section 9.15 Waivers. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, any failure of
any of the parties to comply with any obligation, covenant, agreement or condition herein may be
waived at any time prior to the Effective Time by the party or parties entitled to the benefits
thereof only by a written instrument signed by the party expressly granting such waiver, but such
waiver or failure to insist upon strict compliance with such obligation, covenant, agreement or
condition shall not operate as a waiver of, or estoppel with respect to, any subsequent or other
failure.

represented may adjourn the meeting from time to time, without further notice, until a quorum shall
have been obtained. When a quorum is once present it is not broken by the subsequent withdrawal of
any stockholder.

execute the duties of inspector at such meeting with strict impartiality and according to the best
of his ability. The inspectors, if any, shall determine the number of shares of stock outstanding
and the voting power of each, the shares of stock represented at the meeting, the existence of a
quorum, and the validity and effect of proxies, and shall receive votes, ballots or consents, hear
and determine all challenges and questions arising in connection with the right to vote, count and

precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board of
Directors and which record date shall not be more than sixty (60) nor less than ten (10) days
before the date of such meeting. If no record date is fixed by the Board of Directors, the record
date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders
shall be at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which notice is given, or,
if notice is waived, at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the

exercise any rights in respect of any change, conversion or exchange of stock, or for the purpose
of any other lawful action, the Board of Directors may fix a record date, which record date shall
not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board of
Directors and which record date shall be not more than sixty (60) days prior to such action. If

ARTICLE VI
Certificates Representing Stock
SECTION 1. Certificates; Signatures. The shares of the Corporation shall be
represented by certificates, provided that the Board of Directors of the Corporation may provide by
resolution or resolutions that some or all of any or all classes or series of its stock shall be
uncertificated shares. Any such resolution shall not apply to shares represented by a certificate
until such certificate is surrendered to the Corporation. Notwithstanding the adoption of such a
resolution by the Board of Directors, every holder of stock represented by certificates and upon
request every holder of uncertificated shares shall be entitled to have a certificate, signed by or
in the name of the Corporation by the Chairman or Vice-Chairman of the Board of Directors, or the
President or Vice-President, and by the Treasurer or an Assistant Treasurer, or the Secretary or an
Assistant Secretary of the Corporation, representing the number of shares registered in certificate
form. Any and all signatures on any such certificate may be facsimiles. In case any officer,
transfer agent or registrar who has signed or whose facsimile signature has been placed upon a
certificate shall have ceased to be such officer, transfer agent or registrar before such
certificate is issued, it may be issued by the Corporation with the same effect as if he were such
officer, transfer agent or registrar at the date of issue. The name of the holder of record of the
shares represented thereby, with the number of such shares and the date of issue, shall be entered
on the books of the Corporation.
SECTION 2. Transfers of Stock. Upon compliance with provisions restricting the
transfer or registration of transfer of shares of stock, if any, shares of capital stock shall be
transferable on the books of the Corporation only by the holder of record thereof in person, or by
duly authorized attorney, upon surrender and cancellation of certificates for a like number of
shares, properly endorsed, and the payment of all taxes due thereon.
SECTION 3. Fractional Shares. The Corporation may, but shall not be required to,
issue certificates for fractions of a share where necessary to effect authorized transactions, or
the Corporation may pay in cash the fair value of fractions of a share as of the time when those
entitled to receive such fractions are determined, or it may issue scrip in registered or bearer
form over the manual or facsimile signature of an officer of the Corporation or of its agent,
exchangeable as therein provided for full shares, but such scrip shall not entitle the holder to
any rights of a stockholder except as therein provided.
The Board of Directors shall have power and authority to make all such rules and regulations
as it may deem expedient concerning the issue, transfer and registration of certificates
representing shares of the Corporation.
SECTION 4. Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. The Corporation may issue a new
certificate of stock in place of any certificate, theretofore issued by it, alleged to have been
lost, stolen or destroyed, and the Board of Directors may require the owner of any lost, stolen or
destroyed certificate, or his legal representative, to give the

ARTICLE XIII
Indemnification
The Corporation shall, to the fullest extent permitted by and in accordance with Section 145
of the General Corporation Law of Delaware, as that Section may be amended and supplemented from
time to time, indemnify any director, officer or trustee which it shall have power to indemnify
under that Section against any expenses, liabilities or other matters referred to in or covered by
that Section; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not require the Corporation to indemnify
or advance expenses to any person in connection with any action, suit, proceeding, claim or
counterclaim initiated by or on behalf of such person. The Corporation may, in the discretion of
the Board of Directors, indemnify to the fullest extent permitted by and in accordance with Section
145 of the General Corporation Law of Delaware, as that Section may be amended and supplemented
from time to time, any other employee or agent of the Corporation (i.e., an employee or agent who
is not a director, officer or trustee of the Corporation) which it shall have power to indemnify
under that Section against any expenses, liabilities or other matters referred to in or covered by
that Section. The indemnification provided for in this Article (i) shall not be deemed exclusive
of any other rights to which those indemnified may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement or vote
of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in their official
capacities and as to action in another capacity while holding such office or position, (ii) shall
continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, trustee, or other employee or
agent and (iii) shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a
person. The Corporation’s obligation to provide indemnification under this Article shall be offset
to the extent of any other source of indemnification or any otherwise applicable insurance coverage
under a policy maintained by the Corporation or any other person.
To assure indemnification under this Article of all such persons who are determined by the
Corporation or otherwise to be or to have been “fiduciaries” of any employee benefit plan of the
Corporation which may exist from time to time, such Section 145 shall, for the purposes of this
Article, be interpreted as follows: an “other enterprise” shall be deemed to include such an
employee benefit plan, including, without limitation, any plan of the Corporation which is governed
by the Act of Congress entitled
12
“Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974,” as amended from time to time; the
Corporation shall be deemed to have requested a person to serve an employee benefit plan where the
performance by such person of his duties to the Corporation also imposes duties on, or otherwise
involves services by, such person to the plan or participants or beneficiaries of the plan; excise
taxes assessed on a person with respect to an employee benefit plan pursuant to such Act of
Congress shall be deemed “fines”; and action taken or omitted by a person with respect to an
employee benefit plan in the performance of such person’s duties for a purpose reasonably believed
by such person to be in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries of the plan shall be
deemed to be for a purpose which is not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation.
ARTICLE XIV
Amendments

the Board of Directors may be repealed or changed, and new Bylaws made, by the stockholders, and

repealed by the Board of Directors.
