THIS AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER, dated as of April 11, 2016 (this “Agreement”), is by and among Zhone Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), Dragon Acquisition Corporation, a California corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), DASAN Networks, Inc., a company incorporated under the laws of Korea (the “Stockholder”), and Dasan Network Solutions, Inc., a California corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Stockholder (the “Company” and, together with Parent, Merger Sub and the Stockholder, the “Parties” and each a “Party”).

WHEREAS, the respective Boards of Directors of Parent, Merger Sub, the Stockholder and the Company have approved and declared advisable the merger of Merger Sub with and into the Company (the “Merger”), with the Company being the surviving corporation following such merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent, upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement and in accordance with the General Corporation Law of the State of California (the “CGCL”);

WHEREAS, the respective Boards of Directors of Parent, the Stockholder and the Company have determined that the Merger is in furtherance of and consistent with their respective business strategies and is in the best interest of their respective stockholders;

WHEREAS, Parent and the Stockholder have approved this Agreement and the Merger in their respective capacities as the sole stockholder of Merger Sub and the Company, respectively;

WHEREAS, it is intended that, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the Merger will qualify as a reorganization under Section 368(a)(1) of the Code, and that this Agreement constitutes the adoption of a plan of reorganization within the meaning of Section 368 of the Code; and

WHEREAS, as a condition to and inducement to the Stockholder’s and the Company’s willingness to enter into this Agreement, simultaneously with the execution of this Agreement, certain stockholders of Parent have entered into a voting and support agreement with the Stockholder (the “Voting Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other matters, such stockholders have agreed to support and vote their shares in favor of the issuance of shares of Parent Common Stock to the Stockholder in connection with the Merger.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the respective representations, warranties, covenants and agreements set forth in this Agreement and intending to be legally bound hereby, the Parties agree as follows:

Article I

The Merger

Section 1.1 The Merger. Upon the terms and subject to satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in this Agreement, and in accordance with the CGCL, Merger Sub, at the Effective Time, shall be merged with and into the Company. As a result of the Merger, the separate

corporate existence of Merger Sub shall cease and the Company shall continue as the surviving corporation of the Merger (the “Surviving Corporation”) and shall be a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent.

Section 1.2 Closing. Unless this Agreement is earlier terminated pursuant to its terms, the closing of the Merger (the “Closing”) shall take place as promptly as practicable, but in no event later than the third business day, after the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Article VI (excluding conditions that, by their nature, cannot be satisfied until the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver of such conditions at the Closing), unless another time or date is mutually agreed to in writing by the Parties (the actual date of the Closing being referred to herein as the “Closing Date”). The Closing shall be held at the offices of Xxxxxx & Xxxxxxx LLP, 00000 Xxxx Xxxxx Xxxxx, Xxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx 00000, unless another place is agreed to in writing by the Parties. At the Closing, the Parties shall cause the Merger to be consummated by filing an agreement of merger with respect to the Merger satisfying the applicable requirements of the CGCL (the “Agreement of Merger”) with the Secretary of State of the State of California, together with the officer’s certificate required by Section 1103 of the CGCL, in such form as required by, and executed in accordance with the relevant provisions of, the CGCL (the date and time of such filing, or if another date and time is agreed to in writing by the Parties and is specified in the Agreement of Merger, such specified date and time, being the “Effective Time”).

Section 1.3 Effect of the Merger. At the Effective Time, the effect of the Merger shall be as provided in the applicable provisions of the CGCL. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, at the Effective Time, except as otherwise provided herein, all the property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of Merger Sub and the Company shall vest in the Surviving Corporation, and all debts, liabilities and duties of Merger Sub and the Company shall become the debts, liabilities and duties of the Surviving Corporation.

Section 1.4 Surviving Corporation Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws. At the Effective Time, (a) the Articles of Incorporation of the Surviving Corporation shall be amended and restated in their entirety to contain the provisions set forth in the Articles of Incorporation of Merger Sub as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time (except that Article I of such Articles of Incorporation shall be amended to read as follows: “The name of the Corporation is: DASAN Network Solutions, Inc.”), and (b) the Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation shall be amended and restated in their entirety in the form of the Bylaws of Merger Sub as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, in each case until thereafter changed or amended in accordance with the terms thereof and of the CGCL.

Section 1.5 Parent Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws. At the Effective Time, Parent shall take all actions as may be necessary to cause the Restated Certificate of Incorporation of Parent to be amended in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit A and the Amended and Restated Bylaws of Parent to be amended and restated in their entirety in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit B.

Section 1.6 Directors and Officers of Surviving Corporation. Unless otherwise mutually agreed by Parent and the Stockholder, the persons set forth on Schedule A hereto shall be the initial directors of the Surviving Corporation, each to hold office in accordance with the Certificate of

Incorporation and Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation. The officers set forth on Schedule A hereto shall be the initial officers of the Surviving Corporation, each to hold office in accordance with the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation.

Section 1.7 Directors and Officers of Parent. Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall take all actions as may be necessary (including obtaining any required resignations from Parent incumbent directors to permit the composition of the Board of Directors of Parent (the “Parent Board”) contemplated below) to cause at the Effective Time:

(a) the number of members of the Parent Board to be fixed at seven;

(b) the Parent Board at the Effective Time to be composed of the following individuals: (i) three individuals designated by Parent; and (ii) four individuals designated by the Stockholder, with one such individual as designated by the Stockholder to serve as the Chairman of the Parent Board;

(c) each class of directors of the Parent Board at the Effective Time to be comprised of one individual designated by Parent and at least one individual designated by the Stockholder pursuant to clause (b) above;

(d) majority of the Audit Committee of the Parent Board at the Effective Time to be composed of individuals designated by the Stockholder, with one such individual as designated by the Stockholder to serve as the Chairman of the Audit Committee, each of whom (i) is designated as a member of the Parent Board pursuant to Section 1.7(b), (ii) is able to read and understand fundamental financial statements, including a balance sheet, income statement, and cash flow statement, prepared under GAAP and (iii) has past employment experience in finance or GAAP accounting, requisite professional certification in accounting, or any other comparable experience or background which results in the individual's financial sophistication, including being or having been a chief executive officer, chief financial officer or other senior officer with financial oversight responsibilities; and

(e) each of the individuals identified on Schedule A hereto to be appointed as officers of Parent, to the respective office indicated thereon, to serve from and after the Effective Time until their respective successors are duly elected or appointed and qualified in accordance with applicable Law.

Article II
Conversion of Securities; Exchange of Certificates

Section 2.1 Conversion of Securities. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or the Stockholder:

(a) Conversion Generally. All of the shares of capital stock of the Company that are issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be canceled and converted into the right to receive, in the aggregate, such number of validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares of Parent Common Stock as is determined by dividing (i) the number of shares

of Parent Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time by (ii) 0.42, rounded to the nearest whole share, and subtracting from such quotient the number of shares of Parent Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (such shares of Parent Common Stock, the “Merger Consideration”). All such shares of capital stock of the Company shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist, and each certificate previously representing any such shares shall thereafter represent the right to receive the portion of the Merger Consideration into which such shares were converted in the Merger only.

(b) Merger Sub. Each share of common stock of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and be exchanged for one newly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock of the Surviving Corporation.

Section 2.2 Escrowed Merger Consideration. At the Effective Time, Parent shall deliver to the Escrow Agent pursuant to the Escrow Agreement one or more share certificates in the name of the Stockholder representing shares of Parent Common Stock equal to 10% of the Merger Consideration (rounded to the nearest whole share) (the “Escrowed Shares”), which shares shall be deducted from the shares of Parent Common Stock delivered to the Stockholder at the Effective Time as provided in Section 2.3(b). The Parties agree to treat the Escrowed Shares as received and owned by the Stockholder for U.S. federal income tax purposes, in all cases to the extent not released to Parent pursuant to Section 8.5, and to file all Tax Returns on a basis consistent with such treatment. For the avoidance of doubt, the Stockholder shall have the right to vote the Escrowed Shares held in escrow, and any dividends or distributions paid on the Escrowed Shares held in escrow shall be paid to the Stockholder.

Section 2.3 Exchange Procedures.

(a) Company Certificate(s). At or as soon as reasonably practicable following the Effective Time, the Stockholder shall surrender to Parent for cancellation certificates that, immediately prior to the Effective Time, represented in the aggregate all outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company, together with executed stock powers and such other administrative documents as may be reasonably required by Parent in connection with such surrender (the “Certificates”); provided, that, if any Certificates shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, the Stockholder shall deliver to Parent an affidavit of loss in form reasonably satisfactory to Parent, including an indemnity by the Stockholder against any claims that may be made against Parent with respect to such Certificates. Until so surrendered, each Certificate will be deemed at all times after the Effective Time for all purposes to represent only the right to receive upon such surrender the applicable portion of the Merger Consideration with respect to the shares of capital stock of the Company formerly represented thereby, subject to the provisions of Section 2.2.

(b) Merger Consideration. Upon the surrender by the Stockholder of all of its Certificates (or affidavits of loss) as contemplated by Section 2.3(a) at or following the Effective Time, Parent shall issue and deliver to the Stockholder one or more share certificates in the name of the Stockholder representing, in the aggregate, the Merger Consideration less the Escrowed Shares to be delivered to the Escrow Agent pursuant to Section 2.2.

(c) No Rights in Surviving Corporation. Following the Effective Time, there will be no further registration of transfers on the stock transfer books of the Surviving Corporation of the shares of capital stock of the Company that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. From and after the Effective Time, the Stockholder will cease to have any rights as a stockholder of the Surviving Corporation, except as provided by applicable Law.

(d) Further Rights in Company Capital Stock. All shares of Parent Common Stock issued upon conversion of the shares of the capital stock of the Company in accordance with the terms of this Article II shall be deemed to have been issued in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to the shares of capital stock of the Company.

(e) Withholding. Parent and Merger Sub shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as are required to be deducted and withheld with respect to the making of such payment under the Code, or under any provision of state, local or foreign Law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld and paid over to the appropriate Governmental Entity, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Stockholder.

(f) Further Assurances. At and after the Effective Time, the officers and directors of the Surviving Corporation shall be authorized to execute and deliver, in the name and on behalf of the Surviving Corporation, any deeds, bills of sale, assignments or assurances and to take and do, in the name and on behalf of the Surviving Corporation, any other actions and things necessary to vest, perfect or confirm of record or otherwise in the Surviving Corporation any and all right, title and interest in, to and under any of the rights, properties or assets acquired or to be acquired by the Surviving Corporation as a result of, or in connection with, the Merger.

Article III

Except as set forth in a disclosure schedule delivered by the Stockholder to Parent prior to the execution of this Agreement (the “Company Disclosure Schedule”), which identifies exceptions by specific Section references (provided, that any matter disclosed in any section of the Company Disclosure Schedule shall be considered disclosed for other sections of the Company Disclosure Schedule, but only to the extent such matter on its face would be reasonably expected to be pertinent to a particular section of the Company Disclosure Schedule in light of the disclosure made in such section), the Stockholder and the Company hereby jointly and severally represent and warrant to Parent as follows:

(c) There are no options, warrants or other rights, agreements, arrangements or commitments of any character to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is bound relating to the issued or unissued capital stock or other Equity Interests of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or securities convertible into or exchangeable for such capital stock or other Equity Interests, or obligating the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to issue or sell any shares of its capital stock or other Equity Interests, or securities convertible into or exchangeable for such capital stock of, or other Equity Interests in, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

(d) There are no outstanding contractual obligations of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to repurchase, redeem or otherwise acquire, restricting the transfer or disposition of, or granting any preemptive or similar right with respect to, any capital stock or other Equity Interests of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

Section 5.6 Proxy Statement; Parent Stockholder Approval.

(a) Parent shall prepare and file with the SEC a proxy statement to be provided to stockholders of Parent in connection with the Merger and the Parent Stockholder Approval (together with any amendments thereof or supplements thereto, the “Proxy Statement”). As promptly as practicable, and, prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall take all or any action reasonably required under any applicable federal or state securities Laws in connection with the issuance of shares of Parent Common Stock in the Merger. The Stockholder shall furnish all information concerning it and the Company as Parent may reasonably request in connection with such actions and the preparation of the Proxy Statement. As promptly as reasonably practicable after the Proxy Statement shall have been cleared by the SEC, Parent shall mail the Proxy Statement to its stockholders. No filing of, or amendment or supplement to, the Proxy Statement shall be made by Parent without the prior written consent of the Stockholder, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld. Parent shall advise the Stockholder, promptly after it receives notice thereof, of the issuance of any request by the SEC for amendment of the Proxy Statement or comments thereon and responses thereto or requests by the SEC for additional information.

(b) The information supplied by the Stockholder, the Company and Parent for inclusion or incorporation by reference in the Proxy Statement shall not, at (i) the time the Proxy Statement (or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto) is first mailed to stockholders of Parent, and (ii) the time of the Parent Stockholders’ Meeting, 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 in which they were made, not misleading. If at any time prior to the Effective Time any event or circumstance relating to the Stockholder, the Company or Parent, or any of their respective Subsidiaries, or their respective officers or directors, is discovered by such party which should be set forth in an amendment or a supplement to the Proxy Statement, such party shall promptly inform the other party. All documents that either the Company or Parent is responsible for filing with the SEC in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby will comply as to form and substance in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations thereunder and the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder and other applicable Law.

Section 5.7 Go-Shop; No Solicitation; Acquisition Proposals.

(a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, during the period beginning on the date of this Agreement and continuing until 11:59 p.m., Pacific time, on May 26, 2016, Parent and its Representatives may, directly or indirectly (i) encourage, initiate, solicit or take any other action designed to, or that could reasonably be expected to, facilitate an Acquisition Proposal or the making, submission or announcement of, any Acquisition Proposal, (ii) participate or engage in any discussions or negotiations regarding, or furnish to any person any nonpublic information with respect to, or take any other action to facilitate any inquiries or the making of any proposal that constitutes or may reasonably be expected to lead to, any Acquisition Proposal (but only if, prior to so furnishing such information, such person has entered into a confidentiality agreement containing customary terms and conditions), (iii) grant a waiver under any “standstill” provisions or similar obligations of any person with respect to Parent to allow such person to submit an Acquisition Proposal, or (iv) resolve or agree to do any of the foregoing; provided, that Parent shall promptly (and in any case within 48 hours) provide to the Stockholder any material nonpublic information concerning Parent or its Subsidiaries, as provided to any such person and that was not previously provided or made available to the Stockholder. On the No-Shop Start Date, Parent shall notify the Stockholder in writing of the identity of each Excluded Party together with a copy of the most recent Acquisition Proposal made by such Excluded Party or confirm to the Stockholder that there are no Excluded Parties, as the case may be.

(b) Except as expressly permitted by this Section 5.7, from 12:01 a.m., Pacific time, on May 27, 2016 (the “No-Shop Start Date”) until the Effective Time or, if earlier, the termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, Parent agrees that neither it nor any of its Subsidiaries shall, and that it shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause its and their Representatives not to, directly or indirectly: (i) encourage, initiate, solicit or take any other action designed to, or that could reasonably be expected to, facilitate an Acquisition Proposal or the making, submission or announcement of, any Acquisition Proposal, (ii) participate or engage in any discussions or negotiations regarding, or furnish to any person any nonpublic information with respect to, or take any other action to facilitate any inquiries or the making of any proposal that constitutes or may reasonably be expected to lead to, any Acquisition Proposal, other than informing any such of the existence of these provisions, (iii) approve, endorse or recommend any Acquisition Proposal with respect to it, or (iv) enter into any letter of intent or similar document or any agreement, commitment or understanding contemplating or otherwise relating to any Acquisition Proposal or a transaction contemplated thereby. On the No-Shop Start Date (except with respect to any Excluded Party), Parent shall, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause its Representatives to, (A) immediately cease and cause to be terminated all existing discussions or negotiations with any person conducted heretofore with respect to any Acquisition Proposal or any inquiry, expression of interest, proposal, offer or request for information that could reasonably be expected to result in an Acquisition Proposal, (B) terminate access by any such person to any physical or electronic data room or other access to data of Parent and its Subsidiaries, in each case relating to or in connection with, any Acquisition Proposal and (C) enforce the provisions of any existing confidentiality or

non-disclosure agreement entered into with respect to any Acquisition Proposal, including any standstill provisions contained therein. On the No-Shop Start Date (except with respect to any Excluded Party), Parent shall immediately terminate, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause its Representatives to immediately terminate, all discussions or negotiations, if any, with any third party with respect to, or any that could reasonably be expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal. Parent shall immediately request that each person which has heretofore executed a confidentiality agreement with Parent or its Representatives with respect to such person’s consideration of a possible Acquisition Proposal (other than any Excluded Party) immediately return or destroy (which destruction shall be certified in writing by such person to Parent) all confidential information heretofore furnished to such person or its Representatives. Notwithstanding the commencement of Parent’s obligations under this Section 5.7(b) on the No-Shop Start Date, the Parties agree that Parent and its Representatives may continue to engage in the activities described in Section 5.7(a) with respect to any Excluded Party on and after the No-Shop Start Date until the Parent Stockholder Approval is obtained.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, so long as there has been no breach of Section 5.7(b), Parent may, in response to an Acquisition Proposal that was not solicited after the Non-Shop Start Date and otherwise in compliance with the obligations under Section 5.7(b), participate in discussions or negotiations with, request clarifications from, or furnish information to, any person which makes such Acquisition Proposal if (A) such action is taken subject to a confidentiality agreement containing customary terms and conditions and in connection with the foregoing, Parent agrees not to waive any of the provisions in any such confidentiality agreement without waiving the similar provisions in the Confidentiality Agreement to the same extent, (B) the Parent Board reasonably determines in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel (which may be its current outside legal counsel) and financial advisor (which may be its current outside financial advisor), that such Acquisition Proposal could reasonably be expected to lead to a Superior Proposal and (C) the Parent Board reasonably determines in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel (which may be its current outside legal counsel), that failure to take such actions would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law.

(d) Neither the Parent Board nor any committee thereof shall (i) withdraw, modify, amend, or propose to withdraw, modify or amend, in an manner adverse to the Stockholder, the Parent Recommendation, (ii) fail to include the Parent Recommendation in the Proxy Statement or (iii) resolve to do any of the foregoing; provided, that the Parent Board may withdraw, modify, amend the Parent Recommendation and fail to include the Parent Recommendation in the Proxy Statement if, following receipt of a Superior Proposal, (A) Parent has complied with its obligations under this Section 5.7, (B) the Parent Board reasonably determines in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel (which may be its current outside legal counsel), that failure to take such actions would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law and (C) prior to taking such actions, the Parent Board shall have given the Stockholder at least five business days’ notice of its intention to take such action and the opportunity to meet Parent and its outside counsel and financial adviser.

(e) In addition to the obligations set forth in this Section 5.7, Parent shall as promptly as practicable (and in any event within one business day) advise the Stockholder of any request for information with respect to any Acquisition Proposal or of any Acquisition Proposal, or any inquiry, proposal, discussions or negotiation with respect to any Acquisition Proposal, the terms and conditions of such request, Acquisition Proposal, inquiry, proposal, discussion or negotiation, and Parent shall, within one business day of the receipt thereof, promptly provide to the Stockholder copies of any written materials received in connection with any of the foregoing, and the identity of the person making any such Acquisition Proposal or such request, inquiry or proposal or with whom any discussions or negotiations are taking place. Parent shall keep the Stockholder reasonably informed of the status and material details (including material amendments or proposed amendments) with respect to the information previously provided by Parent in connection with an Acquisition Proposal, and shall provide to the Stockholder within one business day of receipt thereof all written materials received by it with respect thereto. Parent shall promptly provide to the Company any non-public information concerning it provided to any other person in connection with any Acquisition Proposal, which was not previously provided to the Stockholder. With respect to any Acquisition Proposal that constitutes a Superior Proposal, for a period of five business days after such determination, Parent shall, if requested by the Stockholder, negotiate in good faith to revise this Agreement so that the Stockholder has the opportunity to make an offer that the Parent Board may determine in its good faith judgment to be at least as favorable to Parent’s stockholders as such Superior Proposal.

(f) Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to restrict the Parties from complying with Rule 14d-9 or 14e-2 or Item 1012(a) of Regulation M-A promulgated under the Exchange Act.

Section 5.8 Certain Notices. From and after the date of this Agreement until the Effective Time, each Party shall promptly notify the other Parties of (a) the occurrence, or non-occurrence, of any event that would be likely to cause any condition to the obligations of any Party to effect the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement not to be satisfied, or (b) the failure of such Party to comply with or satisfy any covenant, condition or agreement to be complied with or satisfied by it pursuant to this Agreement which would reasonably be expected to result in any condition to the obligations of any Party to effect the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement not to be satisfied; provided, however, that the delivery of any notice pursuant to this Section 5.8 shall not cure any breach of any representation or warranty requiring disclosure of such matter prior to the date of this Agreement or otherwise limit or affect the remedies available hereunder to the party receiving such notice.

Section 5.9 Public Announcements. The press release announcing the execution of this Agreement, if any, shall be issued only in such form as shall be mutually agreed upon by the Stockholder and Parent and each of the Stockholder and Parent shall consult with, and obtain the consent of, the other party (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) before issuing any other press release or otherwise making any public statement with respect to the Merger or this Agreement and shall not issue any such press release or make any such public statement prior to consulting with and obtaining the prior consent of the other party (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided, that a Party may, without consulting with or obtaining the prior

consent of the other Parties, issue such press release or make such public statement as may be required by applicable Law or by any listing agreement with a national securities exchange or automated quotation system to which it is a party, if such party has used commercially reasonable efforts to consult with the other party and to obtain such other party’s consent, but has been unable to do so in a timely manner.

Section 5.10 Employee Benefit Matters.

(a) With respect to each Parent Benefit Plan in which employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries participate after the Effective Time, for purposes of determining vesting and entitlement to benefits, including for severance benefits and vacation entitlement, service with the Company (or predecessor employers to the extent the Company provides past service credit) shall be treated as service with Parent; provided, that such service shall not be recognized to the extent that such recognition would result in a duplication of benefits or to the extent that such service was not recognized under the applicable Company Benefit Plan. Such service also shall apply for purposes of satisfying any waiting periods, evidence of insurability requirements, or the application of any pre-existing condition limitations.

(b) After the Effective Time, Parent shall provide to employees who continue to be employed by Parent or its Subsidiaries after the Effective Time severance benefits that are no less favorable than the severance benefits that would have been applicable to the employees under a Parent Benefit Plan or other contract or arrangement providing severance benefits in effect as of immediately prior to the Effective Time.

(c) The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that all provisions contained in this Section 5.10 with respect to employees are included for the sole benefit of the respective parties hereto and shall not create any right (i) in any other person, including, without limitation, any employees, former employees, any participant in any Company Benefit Plan or Parent Benefit Plan or any beneficiary thereof or (ii) to continued employment with the Company or Parent. After the Effective Time, nothing contained in this Section 5.10 shall interfere with Parent’s right to amend, modify or terminate any Company Benefit Plan or Parent Benefit Plan or to terminate the employment of any employee of the Company or Parent for any reason.

Section 5.11 Tax Matters.

(b) The Company shall prepare and timely file, or shall cause to be prepared and timely filed, all Tax Returns in respect of the Company and its Subsidiaries that are required to be filed (taking into account any extension) on or before the Closing Date, and shall pay, or cause to be paid, all Taxes of the Company and its Subsidiaries due on or before the Closing Date. Such Tax Returns shall be prepared by treating items on such Tax Returns in a manner consistent with the past practices of the Company or the applicable Subsidiary, as applicable, with respect to such

Each of Parent and the Stockholder shall retain all books and records with respect to Taxes for a period of at least seven (7) years following the Closing Date.

(d) Parent and the Company, on the one hand, and the Stockholder and their affiliates, on the other hand, shall promptly notify each other upon receipt by such Party of written notice of any inquiries, claims, assessments, audits or similar events with respect to Taxes relating to a Pre-Closing Tax Period (any such inquiry, claim, assessment, audit or similar event, a “Tax Matter”). Any failure to so notify the other Party of any Tax Matter shall not relieve such other Party of any liability with respect to such Tax Matter except to the extent such Party was actually prejudiced as a result thereof. Parent shall have sole control of the conduct of all Tax Matters, including any settlement or compromise thereof, provided, however, that Parent shall keep the Stockholder reasonably informed of the progress of any Tax Matter and shall not effect any such settlement or compromise with respect to which the Stockholder is liable without obtaining the Stockholder’s prior written consent thereto, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.

(e) All Tax sharing agreements or similar agreements between any of the Company and its Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and the Stockholder and its affiliates, on the other hand, shall be terminated prior to the Closing Date, and, after the Closing Date, none of the Company and its Subsidiaries shall be bound thereby or have any liability thereunder.

(h) In the event of any conflict or overlap between the provisions of this Section 5.11 and Article VIII, the provisions of this Section 5.11 shall control.

Section 5.12 Stockholder Litigation.

(a) Each of the Stockholder and the Company agrees that it shall not settle or offer to settle any litigation commenced prior to, on or after the date hereof against the Stockholder, the Company or any of their respective directors or officers by any stockholder of the Stockholder or the Company relating to this Agreement, the Merger or any other transaction contemplated hereby, without the prior written consent of Parent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

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

The provisions of and the limited remedies provided in this Article VIII were specifically bargained for among the Parties and were taken into account by the Parties in arriving at the Merger Consideration.

Section 8.4 Indemnification Procedures.

(a) In the event that any of the Indemnified Parties believes that a claim, demand or other circumstance exists that has given or may reasonably be expected to give rise to a right of indemnification under this Article VIII, such Indemnified Party shall give written notice thereof (a “Claim Notice”) to the applicable indemnifying Party hereunder (the “Indemnifying Party”): (i) if the event or occurrence giving rise to such claim for indemnification is or relates to an Action brought by a third party (a “Third Party Claim”), within ten business days following receipt of notice of such Third Party Claim, or (ii) if the event or occurrence giving rise to such claim for indemnification is not and does not relate to a Third Party Claim, as promptly as practicable after the discovery by the Indemnified Party of the circumstances giving rise to such claim for indemnity; provided, that in each case in clauses (i) and (ii), that the failure to notify or delay in notifying the Indemnifying Party of such indemnification claim will not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations pursuant to this Article VIII, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is prejudiced as a result thereof.

(b) Each Claim Notice shall set forth a description of the claim in reasonable detail, the basis for the Indemnified Party’s indemnification claim hereunder, a good faith estimate (if then known) of the amount of indemnifiable Losses arising therefrom and, with respect to any Third Party Claim, a copy of all papers served with respect thereto. Each Indemnified Party shall make available to the Indemnifying Party all information, books and records, documents and work papers reasonably available to such Indemnified Party relating to the matters that are the subject of the Claim Notice, except as may be prohibited by applicable Law, as well as any of its representatives that are responsible for or have personal knowledge of such matters.

(c) Following receipt by the Indemnifying Party of a Claim Notice in respect of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled if it gives notice of its intention to do so to the Indemnified Party within 20 business days after the receipt of such Claim Notice to (i) assume and have sole control over the defense of such Third Party Claim; and (ii) negotiate a settlement or compromise of such Third Party Claim; provided, that the Indemnifying Party shall not settle or compromise such Third Party Claim without the written consent of the Indemnified Party (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), unless such settlement or compromise (x) includes a full and unconditional waiver and release by the claimant of the Indemnified Party, (y) does not impose any non-monetary equitable sanction or obligation on the Indemnified Party, and (z) does not contain any sanction or restriction upon the conduct of any business by the Indemnified Party or its affiliates or otherwise adversely affect the future operation of the business of the Indemnified Party or of any of its affiliates. If the Indemnifying Party does not elect to assume the defense of such Third Party Claim within 20 business days after the receipt of such Claim Notice, the applicable Indemnified Party may, at its option, defend, settle or otherwise compromise or pay such Third Party Claim; provided, that the Indemnified Party shall not settle or compromise such Third Party Claim without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). The Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Parties shall render to each other such assistance as may reasonably be requested in order to ensure the proper and adequate defense of any such Third Party Claim, and the party in charge of the defense shall keep the other parties fully apprised at reasonable intervals as to the status of the

defense or any settlement negotiations with respect thereto. If the Indemnifying Party timely elects to defend any such Third Party Claim in accordance with this Section 8.4(c), then the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to participate in such defense at such Indemnified Party’s sole cost and expense.

(d) The amount of indemnification to which an Indemnified Party shall be entitled under this Article VIII shall be determined: (i) by the written agreement between the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party; (ii) by a final judgment or decree of a Governmental Entity (which may be subject to appeal, provided that the payment of any amount in respect of such indemnification shall in no way be an admission that such amount is due and shall not prejudice the Stockholder’s right to appeal any such judgment or decree); or (iii) by any other means to which the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall agree. The Indemnified Party shall have the burden of proof in establishing the amount of indemnifiable Losses suffered by it.

Section 8.5 Escrowed Shares; Sole Source.

(a) Any amount of indemnification to which a Parent Indemnified Party has been determined to be entitled in accordance with this Article VIII shall be satisfied solely by the release of Escrowed Shares from escrow to Parent (with each Escrowed Share valued at the Merger Share Price), rounded to the nearest whole number, and the Escrowed Shares then remaining in escrow shall serve as the sole and exclusive source of payment for any indemnification for which the Stockholder is determined to be liable pursuant to Article VIII; provided, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Stockholder shall have the option, in its sole discretion, to pay Parent any such amount in whole or in part in cash in U.S. Dollars, in which event: (A) the number of Escrowed Shares released from escrow to Parent for such claim shall be reduced by that number of shares equal to the amount so paid in cash divided by the Merger Share Price (rounded to the nearest whole number) (the “Cashed-Out Shares”), and (B) an amount of Escrowed Shares equal to the Cashed-Out Shares shall be concurrently released from escrow to the Stockholder.

(b) The Escrow Agreement shall specify that all Escrowed Shares then remaining in escrow shall be released to the Stockholder on the second anniversary of the Effective Time (or, if such day is not a business day, on the first business day thereafter); provided, however, that if any indemnification claim pursuant to Article VIII shall have been properly and validly asserted by any Parent Indemnified Party in accordance with this Article VIII on or prior to the second anniversary of the Effective Time (any such claim, a “Pending Claim”), then: (i) the Escrowed Shares released to the Stockholder in accordance with this Section 8.5(b) shall be reduced by that number of Escrowed Shares equal to the aggregate amount of such Pending Claim divided by the Merger Share Price (rounded to the nearest whole number), and any Escrowed Shares so withheld in respect of such Pending Claim that remain in escrow shall be released to the Stockholder promptly upon resolution or (if applicable) satisfaction of such Pending Claim.

(c) Any amount of indemnification to which a Stockholder Indemnified Party has been determined to be entitled in accordance with this Article VIII shall be satisfied solely by payment in cash in U.S. Dollars by Parent.

Section 8.6 Acknowledgment. The Stockholder hereby acknowledges and agrees that, in the event that the Stockholder becomes liable pursuant to the terms of this Article VIII to indemnify any Parent Indemnified Party, the Stockholder shall have no rights to make and shall make no claim for indemnification against Parent, the Company or the Surviving Corporation with respect to the Loss requiring such indemnification. Parent hereby acknowledges and agrees that, in the event that Parent becomes liable pursuant to the terms of this Article VIII to indemnify any Stockholder Indemnified Party, Parent shall have no rights to make and shall make no claim for indemnification against the Stockholder with respect to the Loss requiring such indemnification.

Section 8.7 Adjustment to Purchase Price. Any indemnification payable under this Article VIII shall be, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, an adjustment to the Merger Consideration for Tax purposes and treated as such by the Parties on their Tax Returns.

Section 8.8 Independent Board Committee.

(a) At the Effective Time, the Parent Board shall form a three-member standing committee composed of the members of the Parent Board designated by Parent pursuant to Section 1.7(b)(i) (the “Special Committee”). The Special Committee shall take action by majority vote (whether by meeting or in writing). The functions of the Special Committee shall include responsibility for: (i) the evaluation of potential claims for Losses and enforcement of the indemnification rights under this Article VIII on behalf of Parent (including as to whether Parent should assume the defense, settlement and compromise of any Third Party Claims), and (ii) the exercise or waiver of any of Parent’s rights, benefits or remedies under this Agreement. The Special Committee shall perform all such functions on behalf of and in the best interests of Parent and its stockholders (but excluding the Stockholder). After the Effective Time, the Stockholder shall deal exclusively with the Special Committee on all indemnification matters under this Article VIII.

(b) The Stockholder acknowledges and agrees that the Special Committee will be established for the purpose of administering the terms and conditions of this Agreement on behalf of Parent after the Closing and that, in performing such functions, the Special Committee shall solely represent Parent and shall act on behalf of and in the best interests of Parent and its stockholders (but excluding the Stockholder). Accordingly, the Stockholder acknowledges and agrees that the members of the Special Committee will owe no fiduciary duties to the Stockholder (in its capacity as a stockholder of Parent) in connection with performing such functions. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Stockholder (in its capacity as a stockholder of Parent) hereby waives any claim against the Special Committee or any of its members for a breach of any such duties to the Stockholder.
