AGREEMENT

Section 1. THE MERGER

1.1 Merger of Acquisition Sub into the Company. At the Effective Time, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement and in accordance with the DGCL, Acquisition Sub shall be merged with and into the Company. Following the Merger, the Company shall continue as the Surviving Corporation (which shall be a wholly owned Subsidiary of Parent), and the separate corporate existence of Acquisition Sub shall cease.

1.2 Effect of the Merger. The Merger shall have the effects set forth in this Agreement and in the applicable provisions of the DGCL. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and subject thereto, at the Effective Time all (a) of the property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of the Company and Acquisition Sub will vest in the Surviving Corporation; and (b) debts, liabilities and duties of the Company and Acquisition Sub will become the debts, liabilities and duties of the Surviving Corporation.

1.3 Closing; Effective Time.

The date on which the Closing actually takes place is referred to as the “Closing Date.” Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, a certificate of merger satisfying the applicable requirements of the DGCL shall be duly executed by the Company in connection with the Closing and, concurrently with or as soon as practicable following the Closing, filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. The Merger shall become effective upon the date and time of the filing of such certificate of merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (the time as of which the Merger becomes effective being referred to as the “Effective Time”).

1.4 Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws; Directors and Officers. Unless otherwise determined by Parent prior to the Effective Time:

(a) the certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation shall be amended in its entirety pursuant to the Merger at the Effective Time or immediately thereafter to conform to the certificate of incorporation of Acquisition Sub as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, except that the name of the Surviving Corporation shall be “Altera Corporation” and, as so amended, shall be the certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter changed or amended as provided therein or by applicable Legal Requirements;

(b) the bylaws of the Surviving Corporation shall be amended and restated at the Effective Time or immediately thereafter to conform to the bylaws of Acquisition Sub as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, and, as so amended, shall be the bylaws of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter changed or amended as provided therein or by applicable Legal Requirements; and

(c) the directors of Acquisition Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the initial directors of the Surviving Corporation, and the officers of the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the initial officers of the Surviving Corporation, in each case until their respective successors are duly elected or appointed and qualified or until their earlier death, resignation or removal.

1.5 Conversion of Shares.

(a) At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any further action on the part of Parent, Acquisition Sub, the Company or any stockholder of the Company:

(i) any shares of Company Common Stock then held by the Company (or held in the Company’s treasury) shall be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist, and no consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor;

(ii) any shares of Company Common Stock then held by any wholly owned Subsidiary of the Company or by any wholly owned Subsidiary of Parent other than Acquisition Sub shall remain issued and outstanding and no consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor;

(iii) any shares of Company Common Stock then held by Parent or Acquisition Sub shall be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist, and no consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor (the shares of Company Common Stock referred to in clauses “(i),” “(ii)” and “(iii),” the “Disregarded Shares”);

(iv) except as provided in clauses “(i),” “(ii)” and “(iii)” above and subject to Section 1.5(b) and Section 1.7, each share of Company Common Stock then outstanding shall be converted into the right to receive (upon the proper surrender of the certificate representing such share of Company Common Stock in accordance with Section 1.6) cash equal to $54.00 (the “Merger Consideration”), without interest thereon and subject to any required Tax withholding; and

(v) each share of the common stock, $0.001 par value per share, of Acquisition Sub then outstanding shall be converted into and become one validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Surviving Corporation.

(b) If, during the Pre-Closing Period, the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock are changed into a different number or class of shares by reason of any stock split, division or subdivision of shares, stock dividend, reverse stock split, consolidation of shares, reclassification, recapitalization or other similar transaction, or if a record date with respect to any such event shall occur during such period, then the Merger Consideration shall be appropriately adjusted.

1.6 Surrender of Certificates; Stock Transfer Books.

(a) Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall designate a bank or trust company (the “Paying Agent”) to receive the funds for purposes of effecting the payment of the Merger Consideration contemplated by Section 1.5(a)(iv). At or prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall deposit, or cause to be deposited, with the Paying Agent cash in an amount representing the aggregate Merger Consideration payable pursuant to Section 1.5(a)(iv) in exchange for outstanding shares of Company Common Stock to be paid in respect of Stock Certificates and Book-Entry Shares by the Paying Agent in accordance with this Agreement. Such funds deposited with the Paying Agent are referred to herein as the “Payment Fund.” Such funds shall be invested by the Paying Agent as directed by Parent, in its sole discretion, pending payment thereof by the Paying Agent to the holders of the shares of Company Common Stock. Earnings from such investments shall be the sole and exclusive property of Parent, and no part of such earnings shall accrue to the benefit of holders of shares of Company Common Stock. No loss to the funds in the Payment Fund will affect any payment obligations of Parent under this Agreement.

(b) As soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Paying Agent to mail to the Persons who, immediately prior to the Effective Time, were record holders of certificates representing shares of Company Common Stock (“Stock Certificates”) or non-certificated shares of Company Common Stock represented by book-entry (“Book-Entry Shares”) (in each case, other than Disregarded Shares and Dissenting Shares): (i) a letter of transmittal in customary form and containing such provisions as Parent may reasonably specify (including a provision confirming that delivery of Stock Certificates shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to Stock Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of such Stock Certificates to the Paying Agent); and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of Stock Certificates or Book-Entry Shares. Upon surrender of a Stock Certificate or a Book-Entry Share to the Paying Agent for exchange, together with a duly executed letter of transmittal (in respect of Stock Certificates) or the receipt by the Paying Agent of an “agent’s message” (or such other evidence, if any, of transfer as the Paying Agent may reasonably request) (in respect of Book-Entry Shares) and such other documents as may be reasonably required by the Paying Agent or Parent: (A) the holder of such Stock Certificate or Book-Entry Share shall be entitled to promptly receive in exchange therefor the Merger Consideration payable to such holder pursuant to Section 1.5(a)(iv) in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to the shares of Company Common Stock formerly represented by such Stock Certificate or Book-Entry Share; and (B) the Stock Certificate or Book-Entry Share so surrendered shall be canceled. In the event of a transfer of ownership of any shares of Company Common Stock which are not registered in the transfer records of the Company, payment of the Merger Consideration may be made to a Person other than the holder in whose name the Stock Certificate so surrendered is registered, if any such Stock Certificate shall be properly endorsed or otherwise be in proper form for transfer, and such holder shall pay any transfer or other similar Taxes or establish to the reasonable satisfaction of Parent that such Tax has been paid or is not applicable. Payment of the Merger Consideration with respect to Book-Entry Shares shall only be made to a Person in whose name such Book-Entry Shares are registered. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 1.6(b), each Stock Certificate or Book-Entry Share shall be deemed, from and after the Effective Time, to represent solely the right to receive the Merger Consideration for each share of Company Common Stock formerly evidenced by such Stock Certificate or Book-Entry Share. If any Stock Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, Parent may, in its discretion and as a condition to the payment of any cash amount pursuant to Section 1.5(a)(iv), require the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed Stock Certificate to provide an appropriate affidavit and to deliver a bond (in such sum as Parent may reasonably direct) as indemnity against any claim that may be made against the Paying Agent, Parent or the Surviving Corporation with respect to such Stock Certificate. No interest shall be paid or will accrue on any cash payable to holders of Stock Certificates or Book-Entry Shares pursuant to the provisions of this Section 1. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, any holder of Book-Entry Shares will not be required to deliver a Stock Certificate or a signed letter of transmittal to the Paying Agent in order to receive the Merger Consideration to which that holder is entitled.

(c) Any portion of the Payment Fund that remains undistributed to holders of Stock Certificates or Book-Entry Shares as of the date 180 days after the date on which the Merger becomes effective shall be delivered to Parent upon demand, and any holders of Stock Certificates or Book-Entry Shares who have not theretofore surrendered their Stock Certificates or Book-Entry Shares in accordance with this Section 1.6 shall thereafter look only to Parent for satisfaction of their claims for payment pursuant to Section 1.5(a)(iv). None of Parent,

Acquisition Sub, the Company, the Surviving Corporation and the Paying Agent shall be liable to any holder or former holder of Company Common Stock or to any other Person with respect to any cash amounts properly delivered to any public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property law, escheat law or similar applicable Legal Requirement.

(d) At the Effective Time, holders of Stock Certificates or Book-Entry Shares that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall cease to have any rights as stockholders of the Company, and the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed with respect to all shares of Company Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. No further transfer of any such shares of Company Common Stock shall be made on such stock transfer books after the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, a valid Stock Certificate is presented to the Surviving Corporation or Parent, such Company Stock Certificate shall be canceled and shall be exchanged as provided in this Section 1.6.

(e) The Paying Agent, Parent, Acquisition Sub and the Surviving Corporation shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any consideration payable or otherwise deliverable to any holder or former holder of Company Common Stock pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as the Paying Agent, Parent, Acquisition Sub or the Surviving Corporation determines in good faith is required to be deducted or withheld therefrom under the Code or any provision of state, local or foreign Tax law or under any other applicable Legal Requirement. To the extent that any such amounts are so deducted or withheld and paid over to the appropriate Governmental Body, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes under this Agreement as having been paid to the Person to whom such amounts would otherwise have been paid.

(f) If any Stock Certificate has not been surrendered by the date immediately prior to the date on which the cash amount that such Stock Certificate represents the right to receive would otherwise escheat to or become the property of any Governmental Body, then such cash amount shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, become the property of the Surviving Corporation, free and clear of any claim or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.

1.7 Dissenting Shares.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, shares of Company Common Stock held by holders who have made a proper demand for appraisal of such shares of Company Common Stock in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL and have otherwise complied with all applicable provisions of Section 262 of the DGCL (any such shares being referred to as “Dissenting Shares” until such time as such holder fails to perfect or otherwise loses such holder’s appraisal rights under Section 262 of the DGCL with respect to such shares) shall not be converted into or represent the right to receive the Merger Consideration in accordance with Section 1.5(a)(iv), but shall be entitled only to such rights as are granted by the DGCL to a holder of Dissenting Shares.

(b) If any Dissenting Shares shall lose their status as such (through failure to perfect or otherwise), then such shares shall be deemed automatically to have been converted into, as of the Effective Time, and to represent only, the right to receive the Merger Consideration in accordance with Section 1.5(a)(iv), without interest thereon, upon surrender of a Stock Certificate or Book-Entry Share representing such shares in accordance with Section 1.6.

(c) During the Pre-Closing Period, the Company shall give Parent: (i) prompt notice of any (A) demand for appraisal received by the Company prior to the Effective Time pursuant to the DGCL; (B) withdrawal of any such demand; and (C) other demand, notice or instrument delivered to the Company prior to the Effective Time pursuant to the DGCL; and (ii) the opportunity, at Parent’s expense, to participate in and direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to any such demand, notice or instrument. The Company shall not make any payment or settlement offer prior to the Effective Time with respect to any such demand, notice or instrument unless Parent shall have given its prior written consent to such payment or settlement offer.

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

2.27 Proxy Statement. None of the information supplied by any of the Acquired Companies for inclusion or incorporation by reference in the Proxy Statement will, at the date of mailing to stockholders of the Company or at the time of the Company Stockholders’ Meeting (or any adjournment or postponement thereof), 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 were made, not misleading.

Section 3. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF PARENT AND ACQUISITION SUB

Except as disclosed in any document filed with the SEC on or after January 1, 2014 and prior to the date of this Agreement and publicly available on XXXXX (excluding any disclosures set forth in any section of any such document entitled “Risk Factors” or “Forward-Looking Statements” or any other disclosures included in such document that are general, cautionary, predictive or forward-looking in nature), Parent and Acquisition Sub represent and warrant to the Company as follows:

3.1 Valid Existence. Each of Parent and Acquisition Sub is a corporation duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware.

3.2 Authority; Binding Nature of Agreement. Parent and Acquisition Sub have all necessary corporate right, power and authority to perform their obligations under this Agreement, and the execution, delivery and performance by Parent and Acquisition Sub of this Agreement have been duly authorized by any necessary action on the part of Parent and Acquisition Sub (subject to, in the case of the Merger, obtaining the vote or consent of Parent as sole stockholder of Acquisition Sub) and their respective boards of directors. Assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Company, this Agreement constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of Parent and Acquisition Sub, enforceable against them in accordance with its terms, subject to the Enforceability Exceptions.

3.3 Non-Contravention. Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement by Parent and Acquisition Sub nor the consummation by Parent and Acquisition Sub of the Merger will: (a) conflict with any provision of the certificate of incorporation or bylaws of Parent or Acquisition Sub; (b) result in a default by Parent or Acquisition Sub under any Contract to which Parent or Acquisition Sub is a party, except for any default that will not have a material adverse effect on Acquisition Sub’s ability to consummate the Merger; or (c) result in a violation by Parent or Acquisition Sub of any order, writ, injunction, judgment or decree to which Parent or Acquisition Sub is subject, except for any violation that will not have a material adverse effect on Acquisition Sub’s ability to consummate the Merger.

3.4 Financing. At the Effective Time, Parent will have the funds necessary to satisfy all of Parent’s and Acquisition Sub’s obligations under this Agreement, including to pay the aggregate Merger Consideration and to pay all amounts payable pursuant to Section 1.

3.5 Absence of Litigation. As of the date of this Agreement, there is (a) no Legal Proceeding pending and (b) to the knowledge of Parent, (i) no inquiry or investigation by any Governmental Body pending and (ii) no Legal Proceeding, inquiry or investigation by any Governmental Body threatened in writing against Parent, any Subsidiary of Parent, or any property or asset of Parent, or any Subsidiary of Parent, that, individually or in the aggregate, is reasonably likely to prevent the consummation of any of the Contemplated Transactions or otherwise prevent Parent or Acquisition Sub from performing their material obligations under this Agreement or seeks to materially delay or prevent the consummation of the Merger and the other Contemplated Transactions. Neither Parent nor any Subsidiary of Parent nor any property or asset of Parent or any Subsidiary of Parent is subject to any settlement agreement or similar

written agreement with, any Governmental Body, or any order of any Governmental Body that is reasonably likely to prevent consummation of the Merger or otherwise prevent Parent or Acquisition Sub from performing their material obligations under this Agreement.

3.6 Ownership of Shares of Company Common Stock. Neither Parent nor Acquisition Sub is, nor at any time during the last three years has it been, an “interested stockholder” of the Company as defined in Section 203 of the DGCL (other than as contemplated by this Agreement). None of Parent, Acquisition Sub or any of their respective Subsidiaries beneficially owns any shares of Company Common Stock.

3.7 Acquisition Sub. All of the outstanding capital stock of Acquisition Sub is owned directly by Parent. Except for obligations or liabilities incurred in connection with its incorporation or organization or the negotiation and consummation of this Agreement and the Contemplated Transactions, Acquisition Sub has not incurred any obligations or liabilities, and has not engaged in any business or activities of any type or kind whatsoever or entered into any Contracts or arrangements with any Person.

3.8 Disclosure. None of the information to be supplied by or on behalf of Parent to the Company specifically for inclusion in the Proxy Statement will, at the time the Proxy Statement is mailed to the stockholders of the Company or at the time of the Company Stockholders’ Meeting (or any adjournment or postponement thereof), 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 the light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading.

(d) During the Pre-Closing Period, the Company shall promptly notify Parent orally and in writing: (i) upon becoming aware that any representation or warranty made by it in this Agreement has become untrue or inaccurate, or of any failure by the Company to comply with or satisfy any covenant, condition or agreement to be complied with or satisfied by it

pursuant to this Agreement, in each case if and only to the extent that such untruth, inaccuracy or failure would reasonably be expected to cause any of the conditions to the obligations of Parent and Acquisition Sub to consummate the Merger set forth in Section 6.2(a) or Section 6.2(b) to fail to be satisfied at the Closing; (ii) of any notice from any Person alleging that the Consent of such Person is or may be required in connection with the Merger; and (iii) of any Legal Proceeding commenced against any of the Acquired Companies that relates to the Merger. No notification given to Parent pursuant to this Section 4.2(d) shall limit or otherwise affect any of the representations, warranties or covenants of the Company contained in this Agreement or any of the remedies available to Parent hereunder.

To the extent the relevant Acquired Company does not have the legal or contractual ability to take an action requested by Parent under this Section 4.2(f), the Company shall cause each Acquired Company to use reasonable efforts to take all actions that limit the extension of any intellectual property obligations of the Standards Bodies to Parent, including, where necessary, by using reasonable efforts to obtain any consents necessary to permit it to take the requested action. It is the intent of Parent and the Company that any such withdrawal, cessation, termination or restriction take place as close as possible to the Closing and be conditioned on the Closing. The relevant Acquired Company may satisfy the requirements of this Section 4.2(f) by taking action reasonably calculated to be effective prior to the reasonably anticipated Closing Date, and where the relevant Acquired Company has the ability to do so, it may make any such withdrawal, cessation, termination or restriction contingent upon the Closing.

4.3 No Solicitation.

(a) Other than with respect to Parent or Acquisition Sub, during the Pre-Closing Period the Company shall not, and shall not authorize or permit any Acquired Company or any Representatives of the Acquired Companies to: (i) solicit, initiate, knowingly encourage or knowingly facilitate the making, submission or announcement of an Acquisition Proposal (or

any proposal, offer or indication of interest that would be reasonably expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal); (ii) furnish or otherwise provide access to any non-public information regarding any of the Acquired Companies to any Person in connection with or in response to an Acquisition Proposal; or (iii) engage in discussions or negotiations with any Person with respect to any Acquisition Proposal (except to refer such Person to these provisions).

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, prior to the time that the Requisite Stockholder Approval is obtained, nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit the Company from furnishing non-public information regarding the Acquired Companies to, or entering into discussions or negotiations with any Person and its Representatives in response to (and in connection with), a bona fide, written Acquisition Proposal that is submitted to the Company by such Person (and not withdrawn) if: (i) no Acquired Company and no Representative of any Acquired Company shall have breached Section 4.3(a) with respect to such Acquisition Proposal or such Person; (ii) the board of directors of the Company determines in good faith, after having taken into account the advice of an independent financial advisor of nationally recognized reputation and the Company’s outside legal counsel, that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes or is reasonably likely to lead to a Superior Offer; (iii) the board of directors of the Company determines in good faith, after having taken into account the advice of the Company’s outside legal counsel, that the failure to take such action would be inconsistent with its fiduciary obligations to the Company’s stockholders under applicable Legal Requirements of the State of Delaware; and (iv) at least two Business Days prior to furnishing any such non-public information to, or entering into discussions or negotiations with, such Person, the Company: (A) gives Parent written notice of the identity of such Person and of the Company’s intention to furnish non-public information to, or enter into discussions or negotiations with, such Person; and (B) receives from such Person, and delivers to Parent a copy of, an executed confidentiality agreement containing customary limitations on the use and disclosure of all non-public written and oral information furnished to such Person by or on behalf of the Acquired Companies and containing other confidentiality provisions no less favorable to the Company than the provisions of the Confidentiality Agreement (and that shall permit the Company to comply with the terms of Section 4.3(c)) and prior to or concurrently with furnishing any such non-public information to such Person, the Company furnishes such non-public information to Parent (to the extent that such non-public information has not been previously furnished by the Company to Parent). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company acknowledges and agrees that any action if taken by the Company or any other Acquired Company that would be a breach of the provisions set forth in the preceding sentence that is taken by any Representative of any of the Acquired Companies shall be deemed to constitute a breach of Section 4.3(a) by the Company.

(c) If the Company or any other Acquired Company or any of their respective Representatives receives an Acquisition Proposal or any request for non-public information in connection with an Acquisition Proposal at any time prior to the Requisite Stockholder Approval being obtained, then the Company shall promptly (and within 24 hours after receipt of such Acquisition Proposal or request is known to the board of directors of the Company or the Company’s Chief Executive Officer) advise Parent orally and in writing of such Acquisition Proposal or request (including the identity of the Person making or submitting such Acquisition Proposal or request, the material terms and conditions thereof, and, if available, copies of any written documentation received by such Acquired Company setting forth such terms and

conditions). The Company shall keep Parent informed with respect to the status of any such Acquisition Proposal or request and any modification or proposed modification thereto and shall promptly (and in no event later than 24 hours) notify Parent orally and in writing if it determines to: (i) begin providing information in response to a request for non-public information in connection with an Acquisition Proposal; or (ii) engage in discussions or negotiations concerning an Acquisition Proposal pursuant to this Section 4.3. The Company shall provide Parent with 48 hours prior notice (or such lesser prior notice as is provided to the members of the board of directors of the Company) of any meeting of the board of directors of the Company at which the board is expected to consider any Acquisition Proposal, request for non-public information in connection with an Acquisition Proposal or Intervening Event.

(d) Promptly following the execution of this Agreement, except as contemplated by Section 4.3(b), the Company shall, shall cause the Subsidiaries of the Company to, and shall instruct the Representatives of the Acquired Companies to immediately cease and cause to be terminated any existing solicitation, encouragement, discussions or negotiations with any Person that relate to an Acquisition Proposal or request for non-public information in connection with an Acquisition Proposal.

(e) Promptly following the execution of this Agreement, the Company shall: (i) request each Person (other than Parent, Acquisition Sub and their Representatives) that has executed a confidentiality agreement or similar agreement in connection with its consideration of a possible Acquisition Proposal to return or destroy all confidential information heretofore furnished to such Person by or on behalf of any of the Acquired Companies; and (ii) except as contemplated by Section 4.3(b), prohibit any third party (other than Parent, Acquisition Sub and their Representatives) from having access to any physical or electronic data rooms relating to a possible Acquisition Proposal.

(f) Except as permitted by Section 4.3(g) or Section 4.3(h), neither the board of directors of the Company nor any committee thereof shall: (i) withdraw or modify in a manner adverse to Parent or Acquisition Sub, or publicly propose to withdraw or modify in a manner adverse to Parent or Acquisition Sub, the Company Board Recommendation (it being understood that the Company Board Recommendation shall be deemed to have been modified in a manner adverse to Parent if it shall no longer be unanimous) or resolve or agree to take any of the actions contemplated by this clause “(i)” (any action described in this clause “(i)” being referred to as an “Adverse Recommendation Change”); or (ii) approve, accept or recommend, or publicly propose to approve, accept or recommend, any Acquisition Proposal, or cause or permit the Acquired Companies to execute or enter into, any (A) letter of intent, memorandum of understanding or agreement in principle; (B) merger agreement; (C) acquisition agreement; (D) option agreement; (E) joint venture agreement; (F) partnership agreement; or (G) Contract providing for an Acquisition Transaction, in each case other than a confidentiality agreement referred to in Section 4.3(b)(iv)(B), or resolve or agree to take any of the actions contemplated by this clause “(ii)”.

(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 4.3(f) or elsewhere in this Agreement, the board of directors of the Company may, at any time prior to the adoption of this Agreement by the Requisite Stockholder Approval, make an Adverse Recommendation Change and/or cause the Company to terminate this Agreement in accordance

with Section 7.1(h) if (and only if): (i) a bona fide, written Acquisition Proposal that did not result from a breach of the provisions of this Section 4.3 is made to the Company after the date of this Agreement and is not withdrawn; (ii) the board of directors of the Company determines in good faith, after having taken into account the advice of an independent financial advisor of nationally recognized reputation and the advice of the Company’s outside legal counsel, that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Superior Offer, and that, in light of such Superior Offer, the failure to make an Adverse Recommendation Change and/or terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 7.1(h) would be inconsistent with its fiduciary obligations to the Company’s stockholders under applicable Legal Requirements of the State of Delaware (it being understood that the actions of the board of directors of the Company in making and disclosing (to the extent legally required) such determination shall not be considered to be an Adverse Recommendation Change or to violate Section 4.3(f)); (iii) prior to effecting such Adverse Recommendation Change or terminating this Agreement in accordance with Section 7.1(h), the board of directors of the Company shall have given Parent at least five Business Days’ prior written notice (it being understood that such notice and the actions of the board of directors of the Company in authorizing and disclosing (to the extent legally required) such notice shall not be considered to be an Adverse Recommendation Change or to violate Section 4.3(f)): (A) that it has received a Superior Offer that did not result from a breach of the provisions of this Section 4.3; (B) that it intends to make an Adverse Recommendation Change and/or terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 7.1(h) as a result of such Superior Offer; and (C) specifying the material terms and conditions of such Superior Offer, including the identity of the Person making such offer (and attaching the most current version of any written offer or proposed Contract relating thereto, including, if the Company proposes to terminate this Agreement under Section 7.1(h), a copy of the proposed written, definitive acquisition agreement providing for the consummation of the transaction contemplated by such Superior Offer (such acquisition agreement, a “Specified Definitive Acquisition Agreement”)) (it being understood and agreed that any change to the consideration payable in connection with such Superior Offer or any other material modification thereto shall again require compliance with the terms of this Section 4.3(g) by the Company, except that the time periods in clauses “(iii)” and “(iv)” shall be two Business Days); (iv) during such five Business Day notice period, the Company engages (to the extent requested by Parent) in good faith negotiations with Parent to amend this Agreement in such a manner that the Acquisition Proposal no longer constitutes a Superior Offer; and (v) at the time of any Adverse Recommendation Change or termination of this Agreement under Section 7.1(h), the board of directors of the Company determines in good faith, after taking into account the advice of an independent financial advisor of nationally recognized reputation and the advice of the Company’s outside legal counsel, that the failure to make an Adverse Recommendation Change or terminate this Agreement under Section 7.1(h) would be inconsistent with the fiduciary obligations of the board of directors of the Company to the Company’s stockholders under applicable Legal Requirements of the State of Delaware in light of such Superior Offer (taking into account any changes to the terms of this Agreement proposed by Parent as a result of the negotiations required by clause “(iv)” or otherwise).

(h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 4.3(f) or elsewhere in this Agreement, the board of directors of the Company may, at any time prior to the adoption of this Agreement by the Requisite Stockholder Approval, make an Adverse Recommendation Change if: (i) there shall occur or arise after the date of this Agreement an event, development or change in circumstances that relates to and is material to the Acquired

Companies (taken as a whole) (but does not relate to any Acquisition Proposal) that was not known to the board of directors or senior management of the Company on the date of this Agreement (or if known, the consequences of which are not known to or reasonably foreseeable by the board of directors or senior management of the Company), which event, development or change in circumstance, or any material consequences thereof, becomes known to the board of directors or senior management of the Company prior to the adoption of this Agreement by the Requisite Stockholder Approval and did not result from or arise out of the announcement or pendency of the Contemplated Transactions (any such material event, material development or material change in circumstances unrelated to an Acquisition Proposal being referred to as an “Intervening Event”); (ii) the board of directors of the Company determines in good faith, after having taken into account the advice of an independent financial advisor of nationally recognized reputation and the advice of the Company’s outside legal counsel, that, in light of such Intervening Event, the failure to make an Adverse Recommendation Change would be inconsistent with its fiduciary obligations to the Company’s stockholders under applicable Legal Requirements of the State of Delaware (it being understood that the actions of the board of directors of the Company in making and disclosing (to the extent legally required) such determination shall not be considered to be an Adverse Recommendation Change or to violate Section 4.3(f)); (iii) prior to effecting such Adverse Recommendation Change, the board of directors of the Company shall have given Parent three Business Days’ prior written notice (it being understood that such notice and the actions of the board of directors of the Company in authorizing and disclosing (to the extent legally required) such notice shall not be considered to be an Adverse Recommendation Change or to violate Section 4.3(f)): (A) containing a reasonably detailed description of such Intervening Event; and (B) stating that the board of directors of the Company intends to make an Adverse Recommendation Change in light of such Intervening Event; (iv) during such three Business Day notice period, the Company engages (to the extent requested by Parent) in good faith negotiations with Parent to amend this Agreement in such a manner that the failure to make an Adverse Recommendation Change would not be inconsistent with the fiduciary obligations of the board of directors of the Company to the Company’s stockholders under applicable Legal Requirements of the State of Delaware in light of such Intervening Event; and (v) at the time of any Adverse Recommendation Change, the board of directors of the Company determines in good faith, after taking into account the advice of an independent financial advisor of nationally recognized reputation and the advice of the Company’s outside legal counsel, that the failure to make an Adverse Recommendation Change would be inconsistent with the fiduciary obligations of the board of directors of the Company to the Company’s stockholders under applicable Legal Requirements of the State of Delaware in light of such Intervening Event (taking into account any changes to the terms of this Agreement proposed by Parent as a result of the negotiations required by clause “(iv)” or otherwise).

(i) Nothing contained in this Section 4.3 or elsewhere in this Agreement shall prohibit the board of directors of the Company from: (i) taking and disclosing to the Company’s stockholders a position contemplated by Rule 14e-2(a) promulgated under the Exchange Act or making a statement contemplated by Item 1012(a) of Regulation M-A or Rule 14d-9 under the Exchange Act; (ii) making any disclosure to the Company’s stockholders if the board of directors of the Company determines in good faith, after having taken into account the advice of the Company’s outside legal counsel, that failure to do so would be inconsistent with its fiduciary obligations to the Company’s stockholders under applicable Legal Requirements of the State of Delaware; or (iii) refering any Person to these provisions; provided, however, that this

Section 4.3(i) shall not be deemed to permit the board of directors of the Company to make an Adverse Recommendation Change or take any of the actions referred to in clause “(ii)” of Section 4.3(f) except, in each case, to the extent permitted by Section 4.3(g) and Section 4.3(h); provided, further, that in the case of both clause “(i)” and clause “(ii)” any such disclosure, other than a “stop, look and listen” communication or similar communication of the type contemplated by Section 14d-9(f) of the Exchange Act, shall be deemed to be an Adverse Recommendation Change unless the board of directors of the Company expressly publicly reaffirms the Company Board Recommendation in such disclosure.

(j) Unless such actions are taken in connection with a termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 7.1(h), the Company shall not, except to the extent required by order of a court of competent jurisdiction, take any action to approve any transaction under, or any other third party becoming an “interested stockholder” under, Section 203 of the DGCL.

4.4 Company Equity Awards and ESPP.

(a) At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Parent, the Company or any other parties, each Company Option that is then outstanding, unvested and held by a Continuing Service Provider and not described in the following sentence (a “Continuing Option”) shall be assumed by Parent. A Company Option shall not be considered a Continuing Option if the Company Option is subject to the Legal Requirements of a non-U.S. jurisdiction and Parent determines the Company Option may not be converted into a Continuing Option: (i) under a Legal Requirement of the relevant non-U.S. jurisdiction (including by reason of a failure to obtain any required regulatory consents or approvals after making reasonable best efforts); (ii) under the policies and practices of Parent with respect to the grant of equity awards in the relevant non-U.S. jurisdiction; or (iii) due to Parent’s administrative practices with respect to equity awards. Parent shall notify the Company at least 20 days (40 days, in the case of Company Options held by directors) prior to the Effective Time of the Company Options that will not be Continuing Options pursuant to the previous sentence. Each Continuing Option assumed by Parent shall continue to have, and be subject to the same terms and conditions of such option immediately prior to the Effective Time, including the vesting restrictions, except for administrative changes that are not adverse to the holder of the Continuing Option or to which the holder consents and except that: (A) each Continuing Option shall be exercisable for a number of shares of common stock of Parent (the “Parent Common Stock”) equal to the product of the number of shares of Company Common Stock that would be issuable upon exercise of the Continuing Option outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by a quotient obtained by dividing (a) the Merger Consideration; by (b) the average closing price of Parent Common Stock on The NASDAQ Stock Market for the five trading days immediately preceding (but not including) the Effective Time (the “Exchange Ratio”), rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares of Parent Common Stock; and (B) the per share exercise price for the Parent Common Stock issuable upon exercise of such assumed Continuing Option shall be equal to the quotient determined by dividing the per share exercise price for such Continuing Option outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time by the Exchange Ratio, rounded up to the nearest whole cent; and (C) all references to the “Company” in the applicable Company Equity Incentive Plans and the applicable Company Option agreements shall be references to Parent. It is the intention of the

parties that each Company Option so assumed by Parent shall qualify following the Effective Time as an incentive stock option as defined in Section 422 of the Code to the extent permitted under Section 422 of the Code and to the extent such Company Stock Option qualified as an incentive stock option prior to the Effective Time.

(b) By virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part Parent, the Company or any other parties, each Company Option that is outstanding and vested by its terms and each outstanding and unvested Company Option that is not a Continuing Option (each, a “Terminating Option”) shall be cancelled at the Effective Time and shall be converted automatically into the right to receive, as soon as practicable after the Effective Time, an amount in cash determined by multiplying (i) the excess, if any, of the Merger Consideration over the applicable exercise price of such option; by (ii) the number of Company Shares subject to each Terminating Option, less all applicable deductions and withholdings required by Legal Requirements to be withheld in respect of such payment. Each Terminating Option that is outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the Effective Time that has an exercise price equal to or greater than the Merger Consideration shall be cancelled as of the Effective Time without consideration therefor and the holder of such Terminating Option shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto.

(c) At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Parent, the Company or any other parties, each Company RSU that is then outstanding, unvested and held by a Continuing Service Provider and not described in the following sentence (a “Continuing RSU”) shall be assumed by Parent. A Company RSU shall not be considered a Continuing RSU if the Company RSU is subject to the Legal Requirements of a non-U.S. jurisdiction and Parent determines the Company RSU may not be converted into a Continuing RSU: (i) under a Legal Requirement of the relevant non-U.S. jurisdiction (including by reason of a failure to obtain any required regulatory consents or approvals after making reasonable best efforts); (ii) under the policies and practices of Parent with respect to the grant of equity awards in the relevant non-U.S. jurisdiction; or (iii) due to Parent’s administrative practices with respect to equity awards. Parent shall notify the Company at least 20 days prior to the Effective Time of the Company RSUs that shall not be Continuing RSUs pursuant to the previous sentence. Each Continuing RSU assumed by Parent shall continue to have, and be subject to, the same terms and conditions of such Company RSU immediately prior to the Effective Time, including the vesting restrictions, except for administrative changes that are not adverse to the holder of the Continuing RSU or to which the holder consents and except that: (A) each Company RSU shall cover a number of validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of Parent Common Stock equal to the product of the number of Company Shares that would be issuable under the Company RSU immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by the Exchange Ratio, rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares of Parent Common Stock; and (B) all references to the “Company” in the applicable Company Equity Incentive Plans and applicable Company RSU agreements shall be references to Parent.

(d) By virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part Parent, the Company or any other parties, each Company RSU that is not a Continuing RSU outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be canceled at the Effective Time (each, a “Terminating RSU”). Each holder of a Terminating RSU shall be eligible to receive at the Effective Time an amount in cash (without interest) equal to (i) the Merger Consideration;

multiplied by (ii) the number of Company Shares subject to each Terminating RSU, less all applicable deductions and withholdings required by Legal Requirements to be withheld in respect of such payment.

(e) At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Parent, the Company or any other parties, each outstanding Company PRSU that is then outstanding, unvested and held by a Continuing Service Provider and not described in the following sentence (a “Continuing PRSU”) shall be assumed by Parent. A Company PRSU shall not be considered a Continuing PRSU if the Company PRSU is subject to the Legal Requirements of a non-U.S. jurisdiction and Parent determines the Company PSU may not be converted into a Continuing PRSU: (i) under a Legal Requirement of the relevant non-U.S. jurisdiction (including by reason of a failure to obtain any required regulatory consents or approvals after making reasonable best efforts); (ii) under the policies and practices of Parent with respect to the grant of equity awards in the relevant non-U.S. jurisdiction; or (iii) due to Parent’s administrative practices with respect to equity awards. Parent shall notify the Company at least 20 days prior to the Effective Time of the Company PRSUs that shall not be Continuing PRSUs pursuant to the previous sentence. Each Continuing PRSU assumed by Parent shall continue to have, and be subject to, the same terms and conditions of such Company PRSU immediately prior to the Effective Time, including the vesting restrictions, except for administrative changes that are not adverse to the holder of the Continuing PRSU or to which the holder consents and except that: (A) each Company PRSU shall cover a number of validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of Parent Common Stock equal to the product of the number of Company Shares that would be issuable under the Company PRSU immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by the Exchange Ratio, rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares of Parent Common Stock; and (B) all references to the “Company” in the applicable Company Equity Incentive Plans and Company PRSU agreements shall be references to Parent.

(f) By virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Parent, the Company or any other parties, each Company PRSU that is not a Continuing PRSU outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be canceled at the Effective Time (each, a “Terminating PRSU”). Each holder of a Terminating PRSU shall be eligible to receive at the Effective Time an amount in cash (without interest) equal to (i) the Merger Consideration; multiplied by (ii) the number of Company Shares subject to each Terminating PRSU, less all applicable deductions and withholdings required by Legal Requirements to be withheld in respect of such payment.

(g) Subject to the consummation of the Merger, the ESPP shall terminate effective upon the Effective Time. Prior to the Effective Time: (i) the Company shall take all actions that may be necessary to: (A) cause any outstanding offering period underway as of the Effective Time under the ESPP to be terminated as of the last Business Day prior to the Effective Time (the “Offering Period”); (B) make any pro-rata adjustments that may be necessary to reflect the shortened offering period, but otherwise treat such shortened offering period as a fully effective and completed offering period for all purposes under the ESPP; (C) cause the exercise (as of the last Business Day prior to the Effective Time) of each outstanding purchase right under the ESPP; (D) ensure that no individual shall be permitted to make a new election to purchase shares in any current offering period (other than initial elections by newly-hired employees

pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of the ESPP existing as of the date hereof) or increase such participant’s election to purchase shares in any current offering period; and (E) provide notice to participants in the ESPP describing the treatment of the ESPP pursuant to this Section 4.4(g); and (ii) the Company shall not amend, or take any action to amend, the ESPP to: (A) increase the maximum payroll deduction rate in effect as of the date hereof; or (B) allow participation by individuals who are not otherwise eligible to participate in the ESPP as of the date hereof.

(h) At the Effective Time, if Parent determines that it desires to do so, Parent may assume any or all of the Company Equity Incentive Plans or merge any such Company Equity Incentive Plan into any equity incentive plan of Parent. If Parent elects to so assume or merge any Company Equity Incentive Plan, then, under such Company Equity Incentive Plan, Parent shall be entitled to grant stock awards, to the extent permissible under applicable Legal Requirements, using the share reserves of such Company Equity Incentive Plan as of the Effective Time, except that: (i) stock covered by such awards shall be shares of Parent Common Stock; (ii) all references in such Company Equity Incentive Plan to a number of shares of Company Common Stock shall be deemed amended to refer instead to a number of shares of Parent Common Stock determined by multiplying the number of referenced shares of Company Common Stock by the Exchange Ratio, and rounding the resulting number down to the nearest whole number of shares of Parent Common Stock; and (iii) the board of directors of Parent or a committee thereof shall succeed to the authority and responsibility of the board of directors of the Company or any committee thereof with respect to the administration of such Company Equity Incentive Plan.

(i) Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall take such actions, including providing notice (in a form reasonably satisfactory to Parent) to each holder of an outstanding award granted pursuant to any Company Equity Incentive Plan describing the treatment of such award in accordance with this Section 4.4.

(j) Parent shall take such actions relating to Company Equity Awards, including the reservation, issuance and listing of Parent Common Stock, as are reasonably necessary to effectuate the transactions contemplated by this Section 4.4. Parent shall prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement on Form S-8 (to the extent available) with respect to the Parent Common Stock subject to such Continuing Options, Continuing RSUs and Continuing PRSUs and shall use reasonable best efforts to have such registration statement declared effective as soon as reasonably practicable following the Closing Date, but in no event later than 10 Business Days following the Effective Time. It is intended that the treatment of Continuing Options, Continuing RSUs and Continuing PRSUs under this Section 4.4 shall cause such equity awards to remain exempt from or comply with Section 409A of the Code and this Section 4.4 shall be construed consistent with such intent.

Section 5. ADDITIONAL COVENANTS OF THE PARTIES

5.1 Proxy Statement. As promptly as practicable (and within 15 Business Days after the date of this Agreement, if practicable), the Company shall prepare and cause to be filed with the SEC the Proxy Statement. Parent shall provide, as promptly as reasonably practicable, such information regarding Parent and Acquisition Sub as is required and is

reasonably requested by the Company for inclusion in the Proxy Statement. Other than with respect to an Adverse Recommendation Change and disclosures relating thereto, the Company shall consult with Parent and provide Parent and its counsel a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on the Proxy Statement and any amendments or supplements thereto (and to review and comment on any comments of the SEC or its staff on the Proxy Statement or any amendments or supplements thereto), and shall reasonably consider all comments made by Parent, prior to the filing thereof. The Company shall cause the Proxy Statement to comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and all other applicable Legal Requirements. The Company shall promptly provide Parent and its counsel with a copy or description of any comments received by the Company or its legal counsel from the SEC or its staff with respect to the Proxy Statement or any amendment or supplement thereto, and shall respond promptly to any such comments. Subject to compliance with applicable Legal Requirements, the Company shall cause the Proxy Statement to be mailed to the Company’s stockholders as promptly as practicable after the earlier of: (i) receiving notification that the SEC or its staff is not reviewing the Proxy Statement; and (ii) the conclusion of any SEC or staff review of the Proxy Statement. If any event relating to any of the Acquired Companies occurs, or if the Company becomes aware of any information, that should be disclosed in an amendment or supplement to the Proxy Statement, then the Company shall promptly inform Parent thereof and shall promptly file such amendment or supplement with the SEC and, if appropriate, mail such amendment or supplement to the stockholders of the Company.

5.2 Company Stockholders’ Meeting.

(a) The Company shall take all action necessary under all applicable Legal Requirements to call, give notice of and hold a meeting of the holders of Company Common Stock (the “Company Stockholders’ Meeting”) for the purpose of obtaining the Requisite Stockholder Approval. The Company Stockholders’ Meeting shall be held (on a date selected by the Company and reasonably acceptable to Parent) as promptly as practicable after the commencement of the mailing of the Proxy Statement to the Company’s stockholders, subject to the Company’s right to postpone or adjourn the meeting as set forth in Section 5.2(c). The Company shall cause all proxies solicited in connection with the Company Stockholders’ Meeting to be solicited in compliance with all applicable Legal Requirements.

(b) Subject to Section 4.3(g) and Section 4.3(h), the Proxy Statement shall include a statement to the effect that the board of directors of the Company: (i) has unanimously determined and believes that the Merger is advisable and fair to and in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders; (ii) unanimously recommends that the Company’s stockholders vote to adopt this Agreement at the Company Stockholders’ Meeting; and (iii) has unanimously approved this Agreement and unanimously approved the Contemplated Transactions in accordance with the requirements of the DGCL. (The unanimous determination by the board of directors of the Company that the Merger is advisable and fair to and in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders and the unanimous recommendation of the board of directors of the Company that the Company’s stockholders vote to adopt this Agreement are collectively referred to as the “Company Board Recommendation.”) Unless it has been withdrawn, the Company shall ensure that the Proxy Statement includes the Fairness Opinion of the Company Financial Advisor.

(c) Subject to the termination rights set forth in Section 7.1, the Company’s obligation to call, give notice of and hold the Company Stockholders’ Meeting in accordance with Section 5.2(a) shall not be limited or otherwise affected by the commencement, disclosure, announcement, submission or making of any Superior Offer or other Acquisition Proposal, by any Intervening Event or by any Adverse Recommendation Change. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company agrees not to adjourn, postpone or cancel (or propose to adjourn, postpone or cancel) the Company Stockholders’ Meeting (without Parent’s prior written consent), except to the extent required to obtain the Requisite Stockholder Approval; provided, however, that nothing in this Agreement will prevent the Company from postponing or adjourning the Company Stockholders’ Meeting if and to the extent that (i) there are holders of an insufficient number of shares of Company Common Stock present or represented by a proxy at the Company Stockholders’ Meeting to constitute a quorum at the Company Stockholders’ Meeting and the Company uses its reasonable best efforts during any such postponement or adjournment to obtain such a quorum as soon as practicable; (ii) the Company is required to postpone or adjourn the Company Stockholders’ Meeting by applicable Legal Requirement or a request from the SEC or its staff and the Company uses its reasonable best efforts to hold or resume the Company Stockholders’ Meeting as soon as practicable thereafter; or (iii) the board of directors of the Company shall have determined in good faith (after consultation with outside legal counsel) that it is required by applicable Legal Requirement to postpone or adjourn the Company Stockholders’ Meeting, including in order to give the Company’s stockholders sufficient time to evaluate any information or disclosure that the Company has sent to stockholders or otherwise made available to stockholders by issuing a press release, filing materials with the SEC or otherwise. If a tender or exchange offer relating to shares of Company Common Stock shall have been commenced and the Company has not yet sent to its stockholders a statement disclosing the recommendation of the board of directors of the Company in respect of such offer, then the Company will postpone or adjourn the Company Stockholder’s Meeting until after the Company sends such recommendation.

5.3 Regulatory Approvals.

(a) Each party shall use reasonable best efforts to file, as soon as practicable after the date of this Agreement, all notices, reports and other documents required to be filed by such party with any Governmental Body with respect to the Merger and the other Contemplated Transactions, and to submit promptly any additional information requested by any such Governmental Body. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company and Parent shall, promptly after the date of this Agreement, prepare and file the notification and report forms required to be filed under the HSR Act and any notification or other document required to be filed under any applicable foreign antitrust or competition-related Legal Requirement in the jurisdictions set forth on Section 6.1(d) of the Disclosure Schedule (including a Form CO with the European Commission based on Council Regulation 139/2004) in connection with, the Merger and the other Contemplated Transactions. The Company and Parent shall respond as promptly as practicable to: (i) any inquiries or requests received from the Federal Trade Commission or the Department of Justice for additional information or documentation; and (ii) any inquiries or requests received from any state attorney general, foreign antitrust or competition authority or other Governmental Body in connection with antitrust or related matters. At the request of Parent, the Company shall divest, sell, dispose of, hold separate or take any other action with respect to any of the businesses, product lines or assets of the Acquired Companies, provided that any such action is conditioned upon the consummation of the Merger.

(b) Subject to the confidentiality provisions of the Confidentiality Agreement, Parent and the Company each shall promptly supply the other with any information which may be required in order to effectuate any filings (including applications) pursuant to (and to otherwise comply with its obligations set forth in) Section 5.3(a) (disclosure of which may be restricted to outside counsel). To the extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, each of Parent and the Company shall consult and cooperate with one another, and consider in good faith the views of one another, in connection with any analyses, appearances, presentations, memoranda, briefs, arguments, opinions and proposals made or submitted by or on behalf of any party hereto in connection with proceedings under or relating to the HSR Act or any applicable foreign antitrust or competition-related Legal Requirement. Parent and the Company shall cooperate fully with each other in connection with the making of all such filings or responses.

(c) Each of Parent and the Company shall notify the other promptly upon the receipt of: (i) any communication from any official of any Governmental Body in connection with any filing made pursuant to this Agreement; (ii) knowledge of the commencement or threat of commencement of any Legal Proceeding by or before any Governmental Body with respect to the Contemplated Transactions (and shall keep the other party informed as to the status of any such Legal Proceeding or threat); and (iii) any request by any official of any Governmental Body for any amendment or supplement to any filing made pursuant to this Agreement or any information required to comply with any Legal Requirements applicable to the Contemplated Transactions. Whenever any event occurs that is required to be set forth in an amendment or supplement to any filing made pursuant to
Section 5.3(a), Parent or the Company, as the case may be, shall (promptly upon learning of the occurrence of such event) inform the other of the occurrence of such event and cooperate in filing with the applicable Governmental Body such amendment or supplement.

(d) Parent and the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions necessary to consummate the Merger and make effective the other Contemplated Transactions. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each party to this Agreement: (i) shall make all filings (if any) and give all notices (if any) required to be made and given by such party in connection with the Contemplated Transactions; and (ii) shall use reasonable best efforts to obtain each Consent (if any) required to be obtained (pursuant to any applicable Legal Requirement or Contract, or otherwise) by such party in connection with the Contemplated Transactions, including taking all reasonable actions and doing all things reasonably necessary to (A) resolve any objections, if any, as any Governmental Body may assert under any applicable antitrust or competition-related Legal Requirement with respect to the Contemplated Transactions; and (B) avoid or eliminate each and every impediment under the HSR Act or any applicable foreign antitrust or competition-related Legal Requirement that may be asserted by any applicable Governmental Body or Persons with respect to the Contemplated Transactions so as to enable the Contemplated Transactions to be consummated as soon as possible after the date of this Agreement, including for purposes of the preceding clauses “(A)” and “(B),” such reasonable undertakings and commitments as may be reasonably requested by any applicable Governmental Body in sufficient time to allow the conditions to this Agreement to be satisfied on or before the Outside Date. The parties shall consult with each other with

respect to all of the matters contemplated in clauses “(i)” and “(ii)” of the preceding sentence, and each party will keep the others apprised of the status of matters relating to completion of the Contemplated Transactions. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary in this Agreement, nothing in this Agreement shall require Parent or any of its Subsidiaries to, and, except with the prior written consent of Parent, the Company shall not take any action to, and shall not allow any of the Acquired Companies to, consent or proffer to divest or hold separate any business or assets of Parent, the Company or any of their respective Subsidiaries.

(e) In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, Parent shall contest and litigate and defend against any Legal Proceeding brought by or pending before any Governmental Body and promptly and expeditiously appeal any order, writ, injunction, judgment or decree in any Legal Proceeding, (i) challenging or seeking to make illegal, delaying materially or otherwise directly or indirectly restraining or prohibiting the consummation of the Contemplated Transactions; (ii) seeking to prohibit or limit in any respect, or place any conditions on, the ownership or operation by the Company, Parent or any of their respective affiliates of all or any portion of the business or assets of Parent or the Company or any of their respective Subsidiaries or to require any such person to dispose of, license (whether pursuant to an exclusive or nonexclusive license) or hold separate all or any portion of the business or assets of Parent or any of its Subsidiaries or of any of the Acquired Companies, in each case as a result of, or in connection with, the Contemplated Transactions; (iii) seeking, directly or indirectly, to impose or confirm limitations on the ability of Parent or any of its affiliates to acquire or hold, or exercise full rights of ownership of, any shares of Company Common Stock or any shares of capital stock of the Surviving Corporation on all matters properly presented to the stockholders of the Company or the Surviving Corporation, respectively; (iv) seeking to require divestiture by Parent or any of its Subsidiaries or of any of the Acquired Companies of any shares of Company Common Stock or any business or assets of Parent or its Subsidiaries or any of the Acquired Companies; or (v) that would reasonably be expected to impede, interfere with, prevent or materially delay the Contemplated Transactions or that would reasonably be expected to dilute materially the benefits to Parent of the Contemplated Transactions, except so far as any of the prohibitions, limitations, conditions or requirements referred to in this Section 5.3(e) are covered by any commitments made to any Governmental Body in order to satisfy the conditions set forth in this Agreement.

(f) Parent shall not, and shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, enter into or publicly announce an agreement to form a joint venture or acquire any assets, businesses or companies if Parent believes that any such agreements, individually or in the aggregate, would cause any of the conditions set forth in Section 6.1(b), Section 6.1(c), Section 6.1(d) and Section 6.2(e) to fail to be satisfied prior to the Outside Date.

(a) If so directed by Parent at least 10 Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the board of directors of the Company shall, at least one Business Day prior to the Effective Time, adopt resolutions terminating any and all Employee Benefit Plans intended to qualify as a qualified cash or deferred arrangement under Section 401(k) of the Code (a “401(k) Plan”), effective no later than the day immediately preceding the Effective Time. The form and substance of such resolutions shall be subject to the reasonable approval of Parent (which

approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) and the Company shall provide Parent evidence that such resolutions have been adopted by the board of directors of the Company or the board of directors of any other Acquired Company, as applicable. The Company shall take such other actions in furtherance of terminating any such 401(k) plans as Parent may reasonably request.

(b) As of the Effective Time, Parent shall, and hereby agrees to, assume the obligations and succeed to the rights of the Company under (i) each of the Change of Control and Severance Agreements set forth on Section 5.4(b) of the Disclosure Schedule (the “Change of Control and Severance Agreements”); and (ii) the Retention Bonus Plan.

(c) For a period of one year following the Effective Time, Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, maintain, for Continuing Employees, compensation (other than equity-based compensation) at levels that, taken as a whole, are no less favorable in the aggregate than the compensation (other than equity-based compensation) provided to the Continuing Employees immediately prior to the Effective Time. For one year following the Effective Time, Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, maintain the Severance Practice (as defined in Section 2.15(a)(i) of the Disclosure Schedule) for any Continuing Employees who are terminated without cause.

(d) Nothing in this Section 5.4 or elsewhere in this Agreement shall be deemed to make any employee of the parties or their respective Subsidiaries a third party beneficiary of this Section 5.4 or provide any such employee any rights relating to this Section 5.4, including any right to continued employment, any right to continue an Employee Benefit Plan (except as provided in Section 5.4(b)) following the Closing Date or prevent the amendment thereof, or any right to treat this Agreement as an amendment to an Employee Benefit Plan.

5.5 Indemnification of Officers and Directors.

(a) For six years after the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to indemnify and hold harmless, to the extent that the Surviving Corporation is permitted to indemnify under applicable Legal Requirements, each Person who is now or was prior to the Effective Time an officer or director of the Acquired Companies and each person who is now or was prior to the Effective Time an officer or director of the Acquired Companies who served as a fiduciary under or with respect to any employee benefit plan of the Acquired Companies (within the meaning of Section 3(3) of ERISA) (each, an “Indemnified Person”) against any costs or expenses, judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages, liabilities and amounts paid in settlement in connection with any actual or threatened claim, action, suit, arbitration, proceeding or investigation in respect of, or arising out of, acts or omissions by such Indemnified Person in his her capacity as an officer or director of the Acquired Companies, or a fiduciary under or with respect to any employee benefit plan of the Acquired Companies, occurring, or alleged to have occurred, at or prior to the Effective Time; provided, however, that if, at any time prior to the sixth anniversary of the Effective Time, any Indemnified Person delivers to Parent a written notice asserting a claim for indemnification under this Section 5.5(a) then the claim asserted in such notice shall survive the sixth anniversary of the Effective Time until such time as such claim is fully and finally resolved. In addition, for six years after the Effective Time,

Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to advance, to the extent that the Surviving Corporation is permitted to advance under applicable Legal Requirement, prior to the final disposition of any actual or threatened claim, action, suit, arbitration, proceeding or investigation for which indemnification may be sought under this Agreement, promptly following request by an Indemnified Person therefor, all costs, fees and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and investigation expenses) incurred by such Indemnified Person in connection with any such claim, action, suit, arbitration, proceeding or investigation; provided, however, that any advancement of expenses pursuant to this Section 5.5(a) shall be conditioned upon the Surviving Corporation’s receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the Indemnified Person to repay such amount if it shall be ultimately determined by final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction that the Indemnified Person is not entitled to be indemnified pursuant to this Section 5.5(a). In the event of any such action, Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall cooperate with the Indemnified Person in the defense of any such action.

(b) From the Effective Time until the sixth anniversary of the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall maintain in effect, for the benefit of the Indemnified Persons with respect to their acts and omissions as directors and officers occurring prior to the Effective Time, the existing policy of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance maintained by the Company as of the date of this Agreement in the form disclosed by the Company to Parent prior to the date of this Agreement (the “Existing D&O Policy”), to the extent that such directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage is available on commercially reasonable terms; provided, however, that: (i) the Surviving Corporation may substitute for the Existing D&O Policy a policy or policies of comparable coverage; and (ii) the Surviving Corporation shall not be required to pay annual premiums for the Existing D&O Policy (or for any substitute policies) in excess of 300% of the annual premium paid prior to the date of this Agreement by the Company for the Existing D&O Policy (the “Maximum Premium”). In the event any future annual premiums for the Existing D&O Policy (or any substitute policies) exceed the Maximum Premium in the aggregate, the Surviving Corporation shall be entitled to reduce the amount of coverage of the Existing D&O Policy (or any substitute policies) to the amount of coverage that can be obtained for a premium equal to the Maximum Premium. At the Company’s option, it may purchase, prior to the Effective Time, and in lieu of Parent’s obligations under this Section 5.5(b), a six-year prepaid (i) “tail” policy on terms and conditions providing substantially equivalent benefits as the Existing D&O Policy with respect to matter arising before the Effective Time; and/or (ii) policy providing for Side B coverage. In connection with the policies contemplated by the foregoing sentence, (A) the Company will not spend more than $3,000,000 in the aggregate for such policies without the prior written consent of Parent; and (B) Parent shall cause any such policies to be maintained in full force and effect for their full term, and cause all obligations thereunder to be honored by the Surviving Corporation. If the Company elects not to purchase either of the foregoing policies, Parent or the Surviving Corporation shall have the right to do so in lieu of complying with their obligations under this Section 5.5(b).

(c) If Parent or the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and is not the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of that consolidation or merger; or (ii) transfers all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, Parent shall cause proper provisions to be made prior to the consummation of any transaction of the type described in clause “(i)” or “(ii)” so that the successors and assigns of Parent or the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, shall assume all of the obligations set forth in this Section 5.5.

(d) From and after the Effective Time, Parent and the Surviving Corporation agree not to, directly or indirectly, amend, modify, limit or terminate the advancement of expenses, exculpation and indemnification provisions of the agreements listed on Section 5.5(d) of the Disclosure Schedule.

(e) This Section 5.5 is intended for the irrevocable benefit of, and to grant third party rights to, the Indemnified Persons and shall be binding on all successors and assigns of Parent and the Surviving Corporation. Each Indemnified Person shall be a third-party beneficiary of this Section 5.5 and entitled to enforce the covenants contained in this Section 5.5. If any Indemnified Person makes any claim for indemnification or advancement of expenses under this Section 5.5 that is denied by Parent or the Surviving Corporation and a court of competent jurisdiction determines that the Indemnified Person is entitled to such indemnification, then Parent or the Surviving Corporation shall pay such Indemnified Person’s costs and expenses, including reasonable legal fees and expenses, incurred in connection with pursuing such claim against Parent or the Surviving Corporation. The rights of the Indemnified Persons under this Section 5.5 shall be in addition to any rights that such Indemnified Person may have under the organizational documents of the Acquired Companies or under any applicable Contracts, insurance policies or Legal Requirements.

5.6 Public Announcement. Parent and Acquisition Sub, on the one hand, and the Company, on the other hand, shall consult with each other before issuing, and provide each other with the opportunity to review and comment upon, any press release or other public statement with respect to the Contemplated Transactions, and shall not issue any such press release or make any such public statement without the prior consent of the other (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), except: (a) as required by any applicable Legal Requirement (in which case, the party required to make such disclosure shall use its reasonable best efforts to allow the other party reasonable time to comment on such disclosure in advance of issuance); or (b) for any press release or public statement made with respect to the Contemplated Transactions that is not inconsistent with, and is not more expansive in any material respect than, any prior press release or public statement validly made in accordance with this Section 5.6. The Company will consult with Parent (and consider in good faith the advice of Parent) prior to sending any material notices or other communication materials to its employees regarding the matters described in Section 5.4 or any other matters relating to the entry into this Agreement or the effects of the Contemplated Transactions. This Section 5.6 will not apply to any disclosure made by Parent and Acquisition Sub, on the one hand, or the Company, on the other hand, (i) relating to an Acquisition Proposal if and to the extent not prohibited by Section 4.3; and (ii) in connection with any dispute among the parties regarding this Agreement, the Confidentiality Agreement or the Contemplated Transactions.

5.7 Litigation. Each party shall promptly notify the other parties of any Legal Proceeding that shall be instituted or threatened against such party to restrain, prohibit or otherwise challenge the legality of, or seek damages in connection with, this Agreement or any of the Contemplated Transactions. The Company shall promptly notify Parent of any Legal Proceeding seeking damages of more than $5 million that is brought or commenced against any

of the Acquired Companies that would have been listed in Section 2.19(a) of the Disclosure Schedule or elsewhere in the Disclosure Schedule, if such Legal Proceeding had been brought or commenced prior to the date of this Agreement. Parent shall promptly notify the Company of any Legal Proceeding brought or commenced against Parent or Acquisition Sub that would have been within the scope of Section 3.5 or otherwise, if such Legal Proceeding had been brought or commenced prior to the date of this Agreement. 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 officers or directors relating to any of the Contemplated Transactions, and no such settlement shall be agreed to without Parent’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

5.8 Section 16 Matters. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to cause the disposition of Company Common Stock (including derivative securities of shares of Company Common Stock) in connection with the Merger by each officer or director of the Company who is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act with respect to the Company to be exempt from Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act pursuant to Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act.

5.9 Delisting. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall cooperate with Parent and use reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and do, or cause to be done, all things, reasonably necessary, proper or advisable on its part under applicable Legal Requirements (including the rules and regulations of The NASDAQ Stock Market) to enable the de-listing by the Surviving Corporation of the Company Common Stock from The NASDAQ Stock Market and the deregistration of the Company Common Stock under the Exchange Act as promptly as practicable after the Effective Time.

5.10 Takeover Laws and Rights. If any Takeover Statute is or may become applicable to this Agreement or any of the Contemplated Transactions, then the Company and the board of directors of the Company shall use their reasonable best efforts to grant such approvals and take such actions as are necessary so that such transactions may be consummated as promptly as practicable on the terms contemplated by this Agreement and otherwise act to eliminate or minimize the effects of such Takeover Statute on this Agreement or any of the Contemplated Transactions.

5.11 Transfer Taxes. All transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration, value added and other similar Taxes and fees incurred in connection with the Contemplated Transactions shall be paid by the party or applicable stockholder of the Company on whom such Taxes and fees are imposed by applicable Legal Requirements.

5.12 Obligations of Acquisition Sub. Parent will take all action necessary to cause Acquisition Sub and the Surviving Corporation to perform their respective obligations pursuant to this Agreement and to consummate the Contemplated Transactions upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement. Parent and Acquisition Sub will be jointly and severally liable for the failure by either of them to perform and discharge any of their respective covenants, agreements and obligations pursuant to this Agreement.

5.13 Financing. At the Effective Time, Parent will have the funds necessary to satisfy all of Parent’s and Acquisition Sub’s obligations under this Agreement, including to pay the aggregate Merger Consideration and to pay all amounts payable pursuant to Section 1.

(a) Except as set forth in this Section 7.3, all fees and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement shall be paid by the party incurring such expenses, whether or not the Merger is consummated; provided, however, that if this Agreement is terminated by: (i) Parent or the Company pursuant to Section 7.1(c); or (ii) either party pursuant to Section 7.1(d) and at the time of such termination all of the conditions set forth in Section 6.1 (other than Section 6.1(a)) and Section 6.3 (other than Section 6.3(c)) are satisfied as if the termination date were the Closing Date, then, in the case of each of clauses “(i)” and “(ii)” of this Section 7.3(a), the Company shall reimburse each of Parent and Acquisition Sub and their affiliates for all documented out-of-pocket expenses and fees (including fees and expenses payable to all banks, investment banking firms, other financial institutions and other persons and their respective agents and counsel, for arranging, committing to provide or providing any financing for the Contemplated Transactions or structuring the Contemplated Transactions and all fees and expenses of counsel, accountants, experts and consultants to Parent and Acquisition Sub, all fees, costs and expenses of any xxxxxx entered into in connection with the Contemplated Transactions, and all printing and advertising expenses) actually incurred or accrued by any of them, or on their behalf, in connection with the Contemplated Transactions, and actually incurred or accrued by banks, investment banking firms, other financial institutions and other persons and assumed by Parent or Acquisition Sub in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution and performance of this Agreement, and the structuring of the Contemplated Transactions (all the foregoing being referred to herein collectively as the “Expenses”); provided, however, that the Expenses shall not exceed $60,000,000 in the aggregate. The Expenses shall be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds promptly (and in any event within two Business Days) following submission of statements therefor.

(b) If (i) this Agreement is terminated by Parent or the Company pursuant to (x) Section 7.1(c) or (y) Section 7.1(d) (and at the time of termination pursuant to Section 7.1(d) the Company has breached (and failed to cure) its obligations to hold the Company Stockholders’ Meeting); and (ii) (A) at or prior to the time of such termination and following the date of this Agreement an Acquisition Proposal for an Acquisition Transaction shall have been publicly disclosed; and (B) within 12 months after the date of any such termination, any Acquisition Transaction is consummated or a definitive agreement contemplating an Acquisition Transaction is executed, then the Company shall pay to Parent, in cash at the earlier of the time such Acquisition Transaction is consummated or the time such definitive agreement is executed, a non-refundable fee in the amount of $500,000,000 (the “Termination Fee”) less any Expenses previously paid pursuant to Section 7.3(a); provided, however, that for purposes of this Section 7.3(b), all references to “15%” in the definitions of Acquisition Transaction and Acquisition Proposal shall be deemed to be references to “50%.”

(c) If this Agreement is terminated by the Company pursuant to Section 7.1(h), then the Company shall pay to Parent, in cash concurrently with and as a condition to such termination, the Termination Fee.

(d) If this Agreement is terminated by Parent pursuant to Section 7.1(e), then the Company shall pay to Parent, in cash within two Business Days after such termination, the Termination Fee.

(e) If (i) this Agreement is terminated (A) by the Company or Parent pursuant to Section 7.1(b) (as it relates to any antitrust or competition-related Legal Requirements); (B) by the Company pursuant to Section 7.1(g) due to a breach by Parent of Section 5.3 that results in the conditions set forth in Section 6.1(b) (as it relates to any antitrust or competition-related Legal Requirements), Section 6.1(c), Section 6.1(d) or Section 6.2(e) (as it relates to any antitrust or competition-related Legal Requirements) not being satisfied; or (C) by the Company or Parent pursuant to Section 7.1(d); and (ii) at the time of such termination (A) all conditions set forth in Section 6.1 and Section 6.2 are satisfied other than those conditions that by their terms are to be satisfied at the Closing and other than one or more of the conditions set forth in Section 6.1(b) (as it relates to any antitrust or competition-related Legal Requirements), Section 6.1(c), Section 6.1(d) or Section 6.2(e) (as it relates to any antitrust or competition-related Legal Requirements); and (B) the Company is ready and willing to consummate the Merger, then Parent will, within two Business Days following any such termination, pay to the Company or its designee in cash by wire transfer in immediately available funds to an account designated by the Company a non-refundable fee in the amount of $500,000,000 (the “Regulatory Fee”).

(f) Each of the Company and Parent acknowledges and agrees that the agreements contained in this Section 7.3 are an integral part of the Merger, and that, without these agreements, Parent and the Company would not have entered into this Agreement. Accordingly, if either party fails to pay when due any amount payable under this Section 7.3, then: (i) the non-performing party shall reimburse the other party for all costs and expenses (including fees and disbursements of counsel) incurred in connection with the collection of such overdue amount and the enforcement by the other party of its rights under this Section 7.3; and (ii) the non-performing party shall pay the other party interest on such overdue amount (for the period commencing as of the date such overdue amount was originally required to be paid and

ending on the date such overdue amount is actually paid in full) at a rate per annum equal to 500 basis points over the “prime rate” (as announced by Bank of America or any successor thereto) in effect on the date such overdue amount was originally required to be paid. The parties acknowledge and agree that in no event shall a party be required to pay the Termination Fee or the Regulatory Fee on more than one occasion. Each of the Company, Parent and Acquisition Sub acknowledges and agrees that the Regulatory Fee is not a penalty, but constitutes liquidated damages in a reasonable amount that will compensate the Company in circumstances in which the Regulatory Fee is payable. In the event that this Agreement is duly terminated under the circumstances described in Section 7.3(e) and the Regulatory Fee is payable pursuant to Section 7.3(e), then the Company’s right to receive payment of the Regulatory Fee pursuant to Section 7.3 shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Acquired Companies and their respective stockholders and Affiliates against Parent, any of Parent’s current or future Affiliates and any of their respective current or future Representatives for any and all losses that may be suffered resulting from, and the Acquired Companies (on their own behalf and on behalf of their respective stockholders and affiliates) shall be deemed to have waived all other remedies with respect to, a failure of the Merger to be consummated, and any breach by Parent or Acquisition Sub of its obligation to consummate the Merger or any other covenant, obligation, representation, warranty or other provision set forth in this Agreement.

8.1 Amendment. This Agreement may be amended with the approval of the respective boards of directors of the Company and Parent at any time prior to the Effective Time, whether before or after the receipt of the Requisite Stockholder Approval; provided, however, that after receipt of the Requisite Stockholder Approval, no amendment shall be made that by applicable Legal Requirements requires further approval of the stockholders of the Company without the further approval of such stockholders. This Agreement may not be amended except by an instrument in writing signed on behalf of each of the parties hereto.

8.2 Waiver. At any time prior to the Effective Time, the parties may: (a) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the other parties; (b) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties of the other parties contained herein or in any document delivered pursuant hereto; or (c) subject to the proviso to the first sentence of Section 8.1 and to the extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, waive compliance with any of the agreements or covenants of the other parties or any condition that

exists in favor of the waiving party contained herein. No failure on the part of any party to exercise any power, right, privilege or remedy under this Agreement, and no delay on the part of any party in exercising any power, right, privilege or remedy under this Agreement, shall operate as a waiver of such power, right, privilege or remedy, and no single or partial exercise of any such power, right, privilege or remedy shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or of any other power, right, privilege or remedy. No party shall be deemed to have waived any claim arising out of this Agreement, or any power, right, privilege or remedy under this Agreement, unless the waiver of such claim, power, right, privilege or remedy is expressly set forth in a written instrument duly executed and delivered on behalf of such party, and any such waiver shall not be applicable or have any effect except in the specific instance in which it is given.

(b) This Agreement and any amendments hereto may be executed in one or more counterparts, all of which will be considered one and the same agreement and will become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the parties and delivered to the other parties, it being understood that all parties need not sign the same counterpart. Any such counterpart, to the extent delivered by fax or .pdf, .tif, .gif, .jpg or similar attachment to email (any such delivery, an “Electronic Delivery”), will be treated in all manner and respects as an original executed counterpart and will be considered to have the same binding legal effect as if it were the original signed version thereof delivered in person. No party may raise the use of an Electronic Delivery to deliver a signature, or the fact that any signature or agreement or instrument was transmitted or communicated through the use of an Electronic Delivery, as a defense to the formation of a contract, and each party forever waives any such defense, except to the extent that such defense relates to lack of authenticity.

8.5 Applicable Law; Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial.

(a) This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, regardless of the laws that might otherwise govern under applicable principles of conflicts of laws thereof.

Service of any process, summons, notice or document to any party’s address and in the manner set forth in Section 8.9 shall be effective service of process for any such action.

(c) EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY THAT MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE IT HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE CONTEMPLATED TRANSACTIONS.

operation of law or otherwise, without the prior written consent of the other parties to this Agreement, and any attempted assignment of this Agreement or any of such rights, interests or obligations by a party without such consent shall be void and of no effect; provided, further, however, that Acquisition Sub may assign all or any of its rights and delegate any or all of its obligations hereunder to any wholly owned Subsidiary of Parent and no such delegation shall relieve Acquisition Sub of any of its or Parent’s obligations hereunder. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer any right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever upon any Person (other than (a) the parties hereto; and (b) the Indemnified Persons to the extent of their respective rights pursuant to Section 5.5).

8.10 Cooperation. The parties agree to cooperate fully with each other and to execute and deliver such further documents, certificates, agreements and instruments and to take such other actions as may be reasonably requested by a party to evidence or reflect the Contemplated Transactions and to carry out the intent and purposes of this Agreement.

8.11 Severability. Any term or provision of this Agreement that is invalid or unenforceable in any situation in any jurisdiction shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions hereof or the validity or enforceability of the offending term or provision in any other situation or in any other jurisdiction. If a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction declares that any term or provision of this Agreement is invalid or unenforceable, the parties hereto agree to negotiate in an effort to replace such invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a valid enforceable term or provision that will achieve, to the extent possible, the economic, business and other purposes of such invalid or unenforceable term or provision.

8.12 Enforcement. Each party acknowledges and agrees that irreparable harm would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed by either party in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached, and that monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy therefor. Accordingly, in the event of any breach or threatened breach by either party of any provision of this Agreement, the other party shall be entitled to, without proof of actual damages (and the breaching party hereby waives any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with such remedy): (a) a decree or order of specific performance to enforce the observance and performance of such provision; and (b) an injunction restraining such breach or threatened breach. The foregoing will be in addition to any other remedy to which such party is entitled at law or in equity. Without limiting the provisions of Section 7.3(f), the availability of Expenses pursuant to Section 7.3(a), the Termination Fee pursuant to Sections 7.3(b), 7.3(c) or 7.3(d) and the Regulatory Fee pursuant to Section 7.3(e) shall not be a basis for denying specific performance or an injunction contemplated by this Section 8.12.

(c) As used in this Agreement, the words “include” and “including,” and variations thereof, shall not be deemed to be terms of limitation, but rather shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation.”

(d) Unless otherwise indicated or the context otherwise requires: (i) any definition of or reference to any Contract, agreement, instrument or other document or any Legal Requirement herein shall be construed as referring to such Contract, agreement, instrument or other document or Legal Requirement as from time to time amended, supplemented or otherwise modified; (ii) any reference herein to any Person shall be construed to include such Person’s successors and assigns; (iii) any reference herein to “Sections,” “Exhibits” and “Schedules” are intended to refer to Sections of this Agreement and Exhibits or Schedules to this Agreement; and (iv) the words “herein”, “hereof” and “hereunder”, and words of similar import, shall be construed to refer to this Agreement in its entirety and not to any particular provision hereof.

(f) Unless the context otherwise requires, “neither,” “nor,” “any,” “either” and “or” are not exclusive.

(g) The word “extent” in the phrase “to the extent” means the degree to which a subject or other thing extends, and does not simply mean “if.”

(j) All accounting terms used herein will be interpreted, and all accounting determinations hereunder will be made, in accordance with GAAP.

(k) The measure of a period of one month or year for purposes of this Agreement will be the date of the following month or year corresponding to the starting date.

(l) The information contained in this Agreement and in the Disclosure Schedule is disclosed solely for purposes of this Agreement, and no information contained herein or therein will be deemed to be an admission by any party to any third Person of any matter whatsoever, including (i) any violation of law or breach of contract; or (ii) that such information is material or that such information is required to be referred to or disclosed under this Agreement.

(m) The representations and warranties in this Agreement are the product of negotiations among the parties and are for the sole benefit of the parties. In some instances, the representations and warranties in this Agreement may represent an allocation among the parties of risks associated with particular matters. Consequently, Persons other than the parties may not rely on the representations and warranties in this Agreement as characterizations of actual facts or circumstances as of the date of this Agreement or as of any other date.
