WHEREAS, the board of directors of the Company (the “Company Board”) has unanimously, by resolutions duly adopted at a meeting duly called and held, (i) determined that it is in the best interests of the Company and the Company Shareholders, and declared it advisable, to enter into this Agreement with Parent and Merger Sub providing for the Merger of the Company with and into Merger Sub, in accordance with the Virginia Stock Corporation Act (the “VSCA”) and the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”), upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, (ii) adopted and approved this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby in accordance with the VSCA (including for purposes of Sections 13.1-725.1 – 13.1-727.1 of the VSCA) and upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein and approved the Merger, (iii) directed that the Company submit the approval of this Agreement and the Merger to a vote at a meeting of the Company Shareholders (subject to the terms and conditions hereof), (iv) resolved that the Company Shareholder Approval is the only vote of the Company Shareholders required to approve this Agreement and the Merger and (v) recommended that the Company Shareholders approve this Agreement, the Merger, and the Plan (the “Company Board Recommendation”);

WHEREAS, it is intended that, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, (i) the Merger shall qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Code”) and (ii) this Agreement shall constitute a plan of reorganization within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.368-2(g).

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual representations, warranties, covenants and agreements herein contained, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

THE MERGER

Section 1.1 The Merger. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the VSCA and the DGCL, and in reliance upon the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained herein, the Company will merge with and into Merger Sub at the Effective Time and the separate corporate existence of the Company shall thereupon cease (the “Merger”). Merger Sub shall be the surviving corporation (sometimes hereinafter referred to as the “Surviving Entity”) and shall continue to

be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, and the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub, with all its rights, privileges, immunities, powers and franchises, shall continue unaffected by the Merger, except as set forth in Section 1.3 and Section 1.4. The effect of the Merger will be as provided in the applicable provisions of the VSCA, the DGCL, and the terms of this Agreement.

Section 1.2 Effective Time. As soon as practicable on the Closing Date, the parties hereto will (a) file articles of merger, in customary form meeting the requirements of Section 13.1-720 of the VSCA including setting forth the plan of merger that meets the requirements of Section 13.1-716 of the VSCA (the “Plan”), substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Articles of Merger”), with the State Corporation Commission of the Commonwealth of Virginia (the “SCC”), (b) duly make all other filings and recordings required by the VSCA in order to effectuate the Merger, (c) file a certificate of merger in customary form (the “Certificate of Merger”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware meeting the applicable requirements of the DGCL, and (d) duly make all other filings and recordings required by the DGCL in order to effectuate the Merger. The Merger shall become effective upon (i) the filing of the Certificate of Merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware and the issuance of a certificate of merger by the SCC with respect to the Merger or (ii) at such later date and time as may be agreed to by Parent and the Company in writing and specified in the Certificate of Merger and the Articles of Merger. The date and time the Merger becomes effective is hereinafter referred to as the “Effective Time.”

Section 1.3 Certificate of Incorporation; Bylaws.

(a) At the Effective Time, the certificate of incorporation of Merger Sub shall be amended so as to read in its entirety as is set forth on Exhibit B annexed hereto, and, as so amended, shall be the certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Entity until thereafter amended in accordance with its terms and as provided by Law.

(b) At the Effective Time, and without any further action on the part of the Company and Merger Sub, the bylaws of Merger Sub shall be amended so as to read in its entirety in the form as is set forth in Exhibit C annexed hereto, and, as so amended, shall be the bylaws of the Surviving Entity until thereafter amended in accordance with its terms, the certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Entity and as provided by Law.

Section 1.4 Officers and Directors. The officers and directors of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the officers and directors of the Surviving Entity immediately following the Effective Time, each to serve as an officer or director in accordance with the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Surviving Entity.

Section 1.5 Closing. The closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Closing”) shall take place at the offices of Fulbright & Xxxxxxxx L.L.P., 0000 Xxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxx 0000, Xxxxxx, Xxxxx, 00000 at 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on a date to be specified by the parties, and in any event not later than the fifth (5^th) Business Day following the date on which the conditions to the Closing set forth in Article VII (excluding conditions that, by their terms, cannot be satisfied until the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver of such conditions at the Closing) have been satisfied or waived or at such other place, time and date as the parties hereto may agree in writing (the “Closing Date”).

Section 1.6 Alternative Merger Structure. If a decrease in the trading price of Parent Shares results in the aggregate share consideration to be received by the Company Shareholders on the Closing Date pursuant to Section 2.1 representing less than 40.0% of the value of the aggregate Merger

Consideration, the requirement to obtain the opinions required by Sections 7.2(c) and 7.3(c) shall be waived and the transaction contemplated by this Agreement shall be restructured such that (a) Merger Sub or a wholly-owned Subsidiary of Merger Sub shall merge with and into the Company, (b) the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub or the Subsidiary of Merger Sub, as applicable, shall cease, and (c) the Company shall continue as the surviving corporation of the Merger. The parties hereto agree and acknowledge that the transaction as restructured by this Section 1.6 may not qualify as a tax-free reorganization under the Code.

ARTICLE II

CONVERSION OR CANCELLATION OF SHARES IN THE MERGER

Section 2.1 Effect on Capital Stock.

(a) At the Effective Time, subject to the provisions of this Article II, each share of common stock of the Company, having no par value (“Company Common Stock”), issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than shares of Company Common Stock to be canceled pursuant to Section 2.1(e)), shall, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or any equity holder thereof, be converted into and shall thereafter represent the right to receive the following consideration (collectively, the “Merger Consideration”):

(i) Each share of Company Common Stock with respect to which an election to receive, subject to adjustment in accordance with Section 2.1(g), a combination of stock and cash (a “Mixed Election”) has been effectively made and not revoked pursuant to Section 2.2 (each, a “Mixed Consideration Electing Share”) and each Non-Electing Company Share shall be converted into the right to receive (which consideration combination shall hereinafter be referred to as the “Mixed Consideration”) (A) $12.75 per share in cash without interest (the “Per Share Cash Consideration”) and (B) a fraction of a validly issued, fully paid in and nonassessable Parent Share (the “Mixed Election Per Share Equity Consideration”) equal to the quotient determined by dividing $29.75 by the Parent Share Value (as may be adjusted pursuant to the proviso in this sentence) and rounding to the nearest ten-thousandth of a share; provided, that if the Parent Share Value is equal to or greater than $40.29, the Parent Share Value shall be $40.29 and if the Parent Share Value is equal to or less than $32.97, then the Parent Share Value shall be $32.97 (such Parent Share Value, as adjusted, the “Adjusted Parent Share Value”);

(ii) Each share of Company Common Stock with respect to which an election to receive cash (a “Cash Election”) has been effectively made and not revoked pursuant to Section 2.2 (each, a “Cash Electing Company Share”) shall be converted, subject to Section 2.1(b), and Section 2.1(g), into the right to receive $42.50 in cash without interest (the “Per Share Cash Election Consideration”); and

(iii) Each share of Company Common Stock with respect to which an election to receive stock consideration (a “Stock Election”) is properly made and not revoked pursuant to Section 2.2 (each, a “Stock Electing Company Share”) shall be converted (subject to Section 2.1(g)), into the right to receive a number of validly issued, fully paid in and nonassessable Parent Shares (together with any cash in lieu of fractional Parent Shares to be paid pursuant to Section 2.3, the “Stock Consideration”) equal to,

rounded to the nearest ten-thousandth of a share, the quotient determined by dividing $42.50 by either (A) the Parent Share Value, or (B) the Adjusted Parent Share Value (as calculated in Section 2.1(a)(i)) if and only if the Parent Share Value is (1) equal to or greater than $40.29 or (2) equal to or less than $32.97.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if (A) (1) the product of the number of Cash Electing Company Shares multiplied by the Per Share Cash Election Consideration (such amount, the “Cash Election Amount”) plus (2) the product of the number of Mixed Consideration Electing Shares multiplied by the Per Share Cash Consideration (clause (1) and (2) together, the “Aggregate Elected Cash Consideration”) exceeds (B) the Available Cash Amount (such amount by which (A) exceeds (B), the “Cash Oversubscription Amount”), then each Cash Electing Company Share shall be converted into a right to receive (1) an amount of cash (without interest) equal to (a) the Cash Election Amount less the Cash Oversubscription Amount, divided by (b) the number of Cash Electing Company Shares (such amount, the “Adjusted Per Share Cash Election Amount”) and (2) a number of validly issued, fully paid in and nonassessable Parent Shares, rounding to the nearest ten-thousandth of a share, equal to (a) the Per Share Cash Election Consideration, less the Adjusted Per Share Cash Election Amount, divided by (b) (i) the Parent Share Value or (ii) the Adjusted Parent Share Value (as calculated in Section 2.1(a)(i)) if and only if the Parent Share Value is (1) equal to or greater than $40.29 or (2) equal to or less than $32.97.

(c) Notwithstanding the definition of Available Cash Amount, in the event there is a Cash Oversubscription Amount as calculated pursuant to Section 2.1(b), Parent shall have the option, in its sole discretion, to increase the amount of the Available Cash Amount to any amount up to and including the amount of the Aggregate Elected Cash Consideration; provided, that Parent may not increase the Available Cash Amount to an amount that, in the opinion of counsel to Parent or counsel to the Company, would cause either of such counsel to be unable to render its opinion described in Section 7.2(c) and Section 7.3(c), respectively, and nothing in this Section 2.1(c) shall affect the consideration with respect to a Stock Electing Company Share.

(d) [Reserved.]

(e) From and after the Effective Time, each share of Company Common Stock held by Parent, Merger Sub or any other Subsidiary of Parent or the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time (collectively, the “Cancelled Shares”) shall automatically (i) cease to be outstanding, (ii) be canceled and retired without payment of any consideration therefor, and (iii) cease to exist.

(f) All shares of Company Common Stock outstanding at the Effective Time and converted into Merger Consideration pursuant to this Section 2.1 (collectively, the “Shares”), shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and shall cease to exist as of the Effective Time, and each certificate previously representing any such Shares (a “Certificate”) and non-certificated Shares represented by a book entry (the “Book-Entry Shares”) shall thereafter represent the right to receive, with respect to each underlying Share, (i) the consideration to which such holder may be entitled pursuant to this Section 2.1, (ii) any dividends and other distributions in accordance with Section 2.4(g) and (iii) any cash to be paid in lieu of any fractional Parent Share in accordance with Section 2.3.

(g) If at any time during the period between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time, any change in the outstanding capital stock of Parent or the outstanding common stock of the Company shall occur by reason of any reclassification, recapitalization, stock split

(including a reverse stock split) or combination, exchange, merger, consolidation or readjustment of shares, or any stock dividend or stock distribution thereon with a record date during such period, or any similar transaction or event, the Merger Consideration, the exchange ratios and any other similarly dependent items described herein, as the case may be, shall be appropriately adjusted to provide the holders of Company Common Stock the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such event, and as so adjusted shall, from and after the date of such event, be the Merger Consideration, the applicable exchange ratio or other dependent item, as applicable, subject to further adjustment in accordance with this sentence.

(h) At the Effective Time, each share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall remain outstanding and shall constitute the only outstanding shares of capital stock of the Surviving Entity.

Section 2.2 Election Procedures.

(a) At the time of mailing of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus to holders of record of Company Common Stock entitled to vote at the Company Shareholders Meeting (such date, the “Mailing Date”), an election form and other appropriate and customary transmittal materials (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates theretofore representing shares of Company Common Stock, or Book-Entry Shares, shall pass, only upon proper delivery of such Certificates or Book-Entry Shares, respectively, to the Exchange Agent, upon adherence to the procedures set forth in the letter of transmittal) in such form as Parent and the Company shall reasonably agree (the “Election Form”) shall be mailed to each holder of record of shares of Company Common Stock as of the record date for the Company Shareholders Meeting.

(b) Each Election Form shall permit the holder (or the Beneficial Owner through appropriate and customary documentation and instructions) to specify (i) the number of shares of such holder’s Company Common Stock with respect to which such holder makes a Cash Election, (ii) the number of shares of such holder’s Company Common Stock with respect to which such holder elects to make a Stock Election, or (iii) the number of shares of such holder’s Company Common Stock with respect to which such holder elects to make a Mixed Election. Any Company Common Stock with respect to which the Exchange Agent has not received an effective, properly completed Election Form on or before 5:00 p.m., New York time, on the Business Day that is four (4) Business Days prior to the Closing Date (which date shall be publicly announced by Parent as soon as reasonably practicable but in no event less than five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing Date) (or such other time and date as the Company and Parent shall agree in writing) (the “Election Deadline”) shall be deemed to be “Non-Electing Company Shares”. If the Effective Time is delayed to a subsequent date, the Election Deadline shall be similarly delayed to a subsequent date, and Parent shall promptly announce any such delay and, when determined, the rescheduled Election Deadline.

(c) Parent shall make Election Forms available as may reasonably be requested from time to time by all Persons who become holders (or Beneficial Owners) of Company Common Stock between the record date for the Company Shareholders Meeting and the Election Deadline, and the Company shall provide to the Exchange Agent all information reasonably necessary for it to perform as specified herein and as specified in any agreement with the Exchange Agent.

(d) Any election made pursuant to this Section 2.2 shall have been properly made only if the Exchange Agent shall have actually received a properly completed Election Form prior to the Election Deadline. An Election Form shall be deemed properly completed only (i) if accompanied by one or more Certificates duly endorsed in blank or otherwise in form acceptable for transfer on the books of the Company (or by an appropriate guarantee of delivery of such Certificates as set forth in such Election Form from a firm that is an “eligible guarantor institution” (as defined in Rule 17Ad-15 under the Exchange Act) and/or (ii) upon receipt of an “agent’s message” by the Exchange Agent or such other evidence of transfer of Book-Entry Shares to the Exchange Agent as the Exchange Agent may reasonably request, collectively representing all shares of Company Common Stock covered by such Election Form, together with duly executed transmittal materials included with the Election Form. Any Election Form may be revoked or changed by the Person submitting such Election Form, by written notice received by the Exchange Agent prior to the Election Deadline. In the event an Election Form is revoked prior to the Election Deadline, the shares of Company Common Stock represented by such Election Form shall become Non-Electing Company Shares and Parent shall cause the Certificates representing such shares of Company Common Stock or Book-Entry Shares to be promptly returned without charge to the Person submitting the Election Form upon such revocation or written request to that effect from the holder who submitted the Election Form; provided, that a subsequent election may be made with respect to any or all of such shares of Company Common Stock pursuant to this Section 2.2. In addition, all Cash Elections, Stock Elections and Mixed Elections shall automatically be revoked and all Certificates representing shares of Company Common Stock shall be promptly returned without charge if this Agreement is terminated in accordance with Article VIII of this Agreement.

(e) Subject to the terms of this Agreement and of the Election Form, the Exchange Agent, in consultation with both Parent and the Company, shall have reasonable discretion to determine whether any election, revocation or change has been properly or timely made and to disregard immaterial defects in the Election Forms, and any good faith decisions of the Exchange Agent regarding such matters shall be binding and conclusive. None of Parent or the Company or the Exchange Agent shall be under any obligation to notify any Person of any defect in an Election Form.

Section 2.3 No Fractional Shares. No certificates or scrip representing fractional Parent Shares or book-entry credit of the same shall be issued upon the surrender for exchange of Certificates (or effective affidavits of loss in lieu thereof) or Book-Entry Shares, no dividends or other distributions of Parent shall relate to such fractional share interests, including any fractional share interests resulting pursuant to Section 2.1(a), and such fractional share interests will not entitle the owner thereof to vote or to any rights of a shareholder of Parent. In lieu of such fractional share interests, Parent shall pay to each holder of a Certificate (upon surrender thereof as provided in this Article II) or Book-Entry Share an amount in cash equal to the product obtained by multiplying (y) the fractional share interest to which such holder (after taking into account all shares of Company Common Stock formerly represented by Certificates or Book-Entry Shares) would otherwise be entitled by (z) the Parent Share Value or Adjusted Parent Share Value, as applicable.

Section 2.4 Exchange of Certificates.

(a) Prior to the Mailing Date, Parent shall appoint a commercial bank or trust company reasonably acceptable to the Company to act as agent (the “Exchange Agent”) for the purpose of exchanging Certificates and Book-Entry Shares for the Merger Consideration. Parent shall pay all costs, fees, and expenses incurred in connection with the retention and engagement

of the Exchange Agent. In connection with the foregoing, Parent and Merger Sub shall enter into an exchange agent and nominee agreement with the Exchange Agent, in a form reasonably acceptable to the Company, setting forth the procedures to be used in accomplishing the deliveries and other actions contemplated by this Section 2.4 and Section 2.2.

(b) As soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time, Parent shall cause to be mailed to each record holder, as of the Effective Time, of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares (other than any holder which has previously and properly surrendered all of its Certificate(s) to the Exchange Agent in accordance with Section 2.2) (each, an “Electing Shareholder”), a form of letter of transmittal (which shall be in customary form and shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon proper delivery of the Certificates to the Exchange Agent or, in the case of Book-Entry Shares, upon adherence to the procedures set forth in the letter of transmittal) and instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates or, in the case of Book-Entry Shares, the surrender of such Shares in exchange for the Merger Consideration.

(c) Immediately prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall (1) issue and deposit or cause to be deposited with the Exchange Agent to be held in trust for the holders of Company Common Stock, evidence of shares in book-entry form in compliance with the Parent’s articles of association and all applicable Laws, representing Parent Shares issuable pursuant to Section 2.1 in exchange for outstanding Company Common Stock for which a Stock Election or Mixed Election (to the extent such consideration is payable in Parent Shares) has been made and for Non-Electing Company Shares (to the extent such consideration is payable in Parent Shares) and an amount of cash representing the aggregate cash consideration payable pursuant to Section 2.1 and (2) deposit with the Exchange Agent, from time to time as needed, cash in amounts that are sufficient to pay cash in lieu of fractional shares pursuant to Section 2.3, and to make any dividends or other distributions pursuant to Section 2.4(g), in each case, to be paid in respect of the Certificates and the Book-Entry Shares by holders thereof who have properly delivered to the Exchange Agent their Company Common Stock. Any cash and Parent Shares deposited with the Exchange Agent shall hereinafter be referred to as the “Exchange Fund.” The Exchange Agent shall, subject to the terms of the exchange agent and nominee agreement entered into with Parent, deliver the Merger Consideration contemplated to be issued pursuant to Section 2.1, Section 2.2 and Section 2.3 out of the Exchange Fund. Until used for that purpose, the cash portion of the Exchange Fund shall be invested by the Exchange Agent in short-term obligations of or guaranteed by the United States of America or short-term obligations of an agency of the United States of America which are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States of America, in commercial paper obligations rated A-1 or P-1 or better by Xxxxx’x Investors Services Inc. or Standard & Poor’s Corporation, or in deposit accounts, short-term certificates of deposit or banker’s acceptances of, repurchase or reverse repurchase agreements with commercial banks which have capital, surplus and undivided profits aggregating more than $10 billion (based on the most recent financial statements of the banks which are then publicly available at the SEC or otherwise); provided, that no such investment or losses thereon shall affect the Merger Consideration payable to former Company Shareholders entitled to receive such consideration or cash in lieu of fractional interests, and Parent shall promptly provide, or shall cause the Surviving Entity to promptly provide, additional cash funds to the Exchange Agent for the benefit of the former Company Shareholders in the amount of any such losses. The Exchange Fund shall not be used for any purpose other than the foregoing.

(d) Each holder of shares of Company Common Stock that have been converted into a right to receive the Merger Consideration, upon (i) with respect to any Electing Shareholder,

completion of the calculations required by Section 2.1(a) and Section 2.1(b) or (ii) with respect to any holder that is not an Electing Shareholder, surrender of a Certificate or Book-Entry Shares to the Exchange Agent together with the letter of transmittal, duly executed and completed in accordance with the instructions thereto, and such other documents as may reasonably be required by the Exchange Agent, will be entitled to receive in exchange therefor (A) one or more Parent Shares which shall be in uncertificated book-entry form and which shall represent, in the aggregate, the whole number of Parent Shares that such holder has the right to receive pursuant to Section 2.1 (after taking into account all shares of Company Common Stock then held by such holder) and (B) a check in the amount equal to any cash that such holder has the right to receive pursuant to this Article II, consisting of the cash consideration pursuant to Section 2.1(a), cash in lieu of any fractional shares of Company Common Stock, as the case may be, pursuant to Section 2.3 and any dividends and other distributions pursuant to Section 2.4(g), in each case, less any required withholding taxes. The Merger Consideration shall be paid as promptly as reasonably practicable after receipt by the Exchange Agent of the Certificate or Book-Entry Share and letter of transmittal in accordance with the foregoing. No interest shall be paid or accrued on any Merger Consideration, cash in lieu of fractional shares in accordance with Article II hereof or on any unpaid dividends and distributions payable to holders of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares. Until so surrendered, each such Certificate and Book-Entry Share shall, from and after the Effective Time, represent for all purposes only the right to receive the Merger Consideration, the issuance or payment of which (including any cash in lieu of fractional shares) shall be deemed to be the satisfaction in full of all rights pertaining to shares of Company Common Stock converted in the Merger.

(e) If any cash payment is to be made to a Person other than the Person in whose name the applicable surrendered Certificate or Book-Entry Share is registered, it shall be a condition of such payment that the Person requesting such payment shall pay any transfer or other similar Taxes required by reason of the making of such cash payment to a Person other than the registered holder of the surrendered Certificate or Book-Entry Share or shall establish to the reasonable satisfaction of the Exchange Agent that such Tax has been paid or is not payable. If any portion of the Merger Consideration is to be registered in the name of a Person other than the Person in whose name the applicable surrendered Certificate or Book-Entry Share is registered, it shall be a condition to the registration thereof that the surrendered Certificate or Book-Entry Share shall be properly endorsed or otherwise be in proper form for transfer and that the Person requesting such delivery of the Merger Consideration shall pay to the Exchange Agent any transfer or other similar Taxes required as a result of such registration in the name of a Person other than the registered holder of such Certificate or Book-Entry Share or establish to the reasonable satisfaction of the Exchange Agent that such Tax has been paid or is not payable.

(f) At the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed and there shall be no further registration of transfers of shares of Company Common Stock thereafter. If, after the Effective Time, any Certificates or Book-Entry Shares representing such shares are presented for transfer to the Exchange Agent, each such share shall be cancelled and exchanged for the Merger Consideration provided for in this Article II in accordance with the terms hereof. In the event of a transfer of ownership of any share of Company Common Stock prior to the Effective Time that has not been registered in the transfer records of the Company, the Merger Consideration payable in respect of such share of Company Common Stock shall be paid to the transferee of such share if the Certificate or Book-Entry Share that previously represented such share is presented to the Exchange Agent accompanied by all documents required to evidence and effect such transfer and to evidence that any applicable stock transfer Taxes have been paid. From and after the Effective Time, the holders of Certificates and Book-Entry

Shares representing shares of Company Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall cease to have any rights with respect to such shares of Company Common Stock except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or by applicable Law.

(g) No dividends or other distributions with respect to Parent Shares issued in the Merger shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Certificates or Book-Entry Shares until such Certificates or Book-Entry Shares are surrendered as provided in this Section 2.4. Following such surrender, subject to the effect of escheat, Tax or other applicable Law, there shall be paid, without interest, to the record holder of the Parent Shares, if any, issued in exchange therefor (i) at the time of such surrender, all dividends and other distributions payable in respect of any such Parent Shares with a record date after the Effective Time and a payment date on or prior to the date of such surrender and not previously paid and (ii) at the appropriate payment date, the dividends or other distributions payable with respect to such Parent Shares with a record date after the Effective Time but with a payment date subsequent to such surrender. For purposes of dividends or other distributions in respect of Parent Shares, all Parent Shares to be issued pursuant to the Merger shall be entitled to dividends pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence as if issued and outstanding as of the Effective Time.

Section 2.5 Termination of Fund. Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains unclaimed by the Company Shareholders for twelve (12) months after the Effective Time shall be paid to the Surviving Entity or, if so directed by the Surviving Entity, to Parent. Any Company Shareholders who have not theretofore complied with this Article II shall thereafter look only to Parent and the Surviving Entity for payment of the Merger Consideration deliverable in respect of each share of Company Common Stock formerly held by such shareholder as determined pursuant to this Agreement without any interest thereon, and Parent and the Surviving Entity shall be responsible with respect to such payment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the Company, Parent, the Exchange Agent or any other Person shall be liable to any former holder of shares of Company Common Stock for any amount delivered in good faith to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Laws.

Section 2.6 Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificate. In the event any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required, the posting by the holder of a bond in customary amount as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to the Certificate, the Exchange Agent shall issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate the Merger Consideration such holder has a right to receive pursuant to this Article II.

Section 2.7 Company Equity Awards.

(a) Company Stock Options. At the Effective Time, each option to purchase shares of Company Common Stock granted under the Brink’s Home Security Holdings, Inc. 2008 Equity Incentive Plan and the Brink’s Home Security Holdings, Inc. Non-Employee Directors’ Equity Plan (collectively, the “Company Stock Plans”) that is unexpired and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (the “Company Stock Options”), other than the 2010 Company Stock Options, shall vest and become fully exercisable, whether or not then vested or subject to any performance condition or other restriction. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holders thereof, each Company Stock Option shall be converted into an option to purchase the number of Parent Shares equal to the product of (x) the Stock Award Conversion Fraction, and (y) the number of shares of Company Common Stock covered by such Company Stock Option (rounded down to the nearest whole share and assuming each Company Stock Option was otherwise vested and fully exercisable), at an exercise

price per share (rounded up to the nearest cent) equal to the exercise price for each such share of Company Common Stock subject to a Company Stock Option divided by the Stock Award Conversion Fraction, which shall, however, correspond at least to the nominal value of a Parent Share at the time of exercise. The other terms of each such Company Stock Option shall continue to apply in accordance with their terms (substituting references to the Company to references to Parent, where appropriate), provided, however, that Parent shall treat each Company Stock Option, other than the 2010 Company Stock Options, as fully vested and immediately exercisable. Each Company Stock Option converted pursuant to the terms of this Section 2.7(a) shall be referred to as a “Parent Exchange Option.” Parent shall reserve for issuance the number of Parent Shares subject to Parent Exchange Options pursuant to this Section 2.7(a). For purposes of this Section 2.7(a), the “Stock Award Conversion Fraction” shall mean (i) $42.50 divided by (ii) (A) the Parent Share Value or (B) the Adjusted Parent Share Value (as calculated in Section 2.1(a)(i)) if and only if the Parent Share Value is (1) equal to or greater than $40.29 or (2) equal to or less than $32.97, subject to adjustment in accordance with Section 2.1(g). The adjustments provided herein with respect to any Company Stock Options that are “incentive stock options” as defined in Section 422 of the Code shall be, and are intended to be, effected in a manner which is consistent with Section 424(a) of the Code. The number of shares subject to any Parent Exchange Option and the exercise price per share of such Parent Exchange Option shall be determined in a manner which would not result in the conversion of Company Stock Options into Parent Exchange Options being treated as a new grant of stock options under Section 409A of the Code, and the Company and Parent shall agree upon any adjustments to this Section 2.7(a) necessary to avoid such new grant of stock options (provided, that in any event each Parent Exchange Option shall have an exercise price corresponding to at least the nominal value of a Parent Share at the time of exercise).

(b) Company Restricted Stock Units. Immediately prior to the Effective Time, each outstanding right to receive shares of Company Common Stock pursuant to a stock unit award granted under any Company Stock Plan that is subject to any performance condition or other restrictions (each, a “Company Restricted Stock Unit”), which has not lapsed immediately prior to the Effective Time shall become fully vested. Such Company Restricted Stock Units shall, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, be converted into a restricted share unit with respect to the number Parent Shares that is equal to the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to the Company Restricted Stock Unit immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by the Stock Award Conversion Fraction (rounded to the nearest whole share) (a “Parent Exchange Restricted Stock Unit”), and otherwise on the same terms and conditions as applied to each such Company Restricted Stock Unit immediately prior to the Effective Time. The obligations in respect of the Parent Exchange Restricted Stock Units shall be payable or distributable in accordance with the terms of the agreement, plan or arrangement relating to such Parent Exchange Restricted Stock Units.

(c) Company Deferred Units. At the Effective Time, each right under the Company Benefit Plans (other than any 401(k) Plan) of any kind, contingent or accrued, to acquire or receive shares of Company Common Stock (other than Company Stock Options and Company Restricted Stock Units), including the deferred Company share units held in the participant accounts under the Brink’s Home Security Holdings, Inc. Non-Employee Directors’ Equity Plan, the Brink’s Home Security Holdings, Inc. Directors’ Stock Accumulation Plan and the Brink’s Home Security Holdings, Inc. Key Employees’ Deferred Compensation Program (such Company Benefit Plans, the “Company Deferred Compensation Plans” and such rights, collectively referred to herein, as the “Company Deferred Units”) shall convert into one of the following, at Parent’s election: (i) a right to receive a number of Parent Shares equal to (A) the number of

shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Company Deferred Unit immediately prior to the Effective Time, multiplied by (B) the Stock Award Conversion Fraction (as so adjusted, the “Adjusted Deferred Units”) or (ii) a right to receive an account under the Tyco Supplemental Savings and Retirement Plan (the “Parent Retirement Plan”) with a notional balance equal to (i) the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Company Deferred Unit immediately prior to the Effective Time, multiplied by (ii) $42.50 (“Deferred Compensation Account”). Such Adjusted Deferred Unit or Deferred Compensation Account shall be payable or distributable in accordance with the terms of the applicable Company Deferred Compensation Plan, with any Adjusted Deferred Unit otherwise governed by the Company Deferred Compensation Plan and any Deferred Compensation Account otherwise governed by the Parent Retirement Plan.

(d) Before the Closing, the Company Board (or, if appropriate, any committee of the Company Board administering the Company Stock Plans) shall take all actions necessary, (including the adoption of resolutions) to effectuate the treatment of the Company Stock Options, Company Restricted Stock Units and Company Deferred Units set forth in Sections 2.7(a) through (c).

(e) As of the Effective Time, Parent shall assume the obligations and succeed to the rights of Company under the Company Stock Plans and the Company Deferred Compensation Plans with respect to the Company Stock Options (as converted into Parent Exchange Options), the Company Restricted Stock Units (as converted into Parent Exchange Restricted Stock Units), and the Company Deferred Units (as converted into Adjusted Deferred Units). From and after the Effective Time, all references to Company (other than any references relating to a “change in control” of Company) in each Company Stock Plan and each Company Deferred Compensation Plan and in each agreement evidencing any award of Company Stock Options, Company Restricted Stock Units or Company Deferred Units, shall be deemed to refer to Parent, unless Parent in good faith determines otherwise.

(f) Except as otherwise contemplated by this Section 2.7 and except to the extent required under the respective terms of the Company Stock Options, all restrictions or limitations on transfer and vesting with respect to Company Stock Options awarded under the Company Stock Plans or any other plan, program or arrangement of the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries, to the extent that such restrictions or limitations shall not have already lapsed, shall remain in full force and effect with respect to such Company Stock Options after giving effect to the Merger and the assumption by Parent as set forth above.

Section 2.8 Withholding. Parent, the Surviving Entity and the Exchange Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the Merger Consideration deliverable under this Agreement, and from any other payments made pursuant to this Agreement (including pursuant to Section 2.3 and Section 2.7) such amounts as Parent, the Surviving Entity and the Exchange Agent are required to deduct and withhold with respect to such delivery and payment under the Code or any provision of applicable Tax Law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been delivered and paid to the holder of shares of Company Common Stock and such other Persons, as applicable, in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made by Parent, the Surviving Entity and the Exchange Agent.

(e) The Company has disclosed, based on the most recent evaluation, to the Company’s auditors and the audit committee of the Company Board (i) all significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in the design or operation of internal control over financial reporting which are reasonably likely to adversely affect the Company’s ability to record, process, summarize and report financial information and (ii) any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other employees who have a significant role in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

(c) The Company will promptly (and in any event within 24 hours after receipt) advise Parent in writing of the receipt by the Company of any Takeover Proposal after the date of this Agreement, the material terms and conditions of any such Takeover Proposal (including any material changes thereto) and the identity of the Person making any such Takeover Proposal. The Company will keep Parent reasonably informed in all material respects of the status and details (including any material change to the terms thereof) of any such Takeover Proposal.

(d) As used in this Agreement, the following terms have the meanings set forth below:

“Superior Proposal” means any bona fide, written proposal by a Third Party that, if consummated, would result in such Third Party (or its equityholders) owning, directly or indirectly, more than 50% of the shares of Company Common Stock then outstanding (or of the shares of the surviving entity in a merger or the direct or indirect parent of the surviving entity in a merger) or all or substantially all of the consolidated assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries, (i) which the Company Board determines in good faith (after consultation with its outside legal and financial advisors) to be more favorable to the Company Shareholders from a financial point of view than the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (after giving effect to any changes to the financial terms of this Agreement proposed by Parent in response to such offer or otherwise) and (ii) which is fully financed (or reasonably capable of being fully financed) with respect to the cash consideration set forth in the proposal, and which, in the good faith judgment of the Company Board, is otherwise reasonably likely to be consummated on the terms set forth in the proposal, taking into consideration (with respect to both subsections (i) and (ii) hereof) all financial, regulatory, legal, timing and other aspects of such proposal (including any break-up fee and conditions to consummation).

“Takeover Proposal” means any proposal or offer (including any proposal or offer from or to the Company Shareholders), whether in writing or otherwise, from a Third Party related to any direct or indirect acquisition or purchase of (i) assets (including equity securities of any Subsidiary of the Company), rights or properties that constitute 10% or more of the revenues, net income or assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries (taken as a whole) or (ii) 10% or more of any class of equity securities of the Company or any Company Subsidiary (or voting power related thereto) (or that would result in such Third Party (or its equityholders) owning 10% or more of any class of equity securities of any resulting parent company of the Company or any Company Subsidiary in any such transaction (or voting power related thereto)), in either case, whether pursuant to a merger, consolidation or other business combination, sale of shares of capital stock, sale of assets, tender offer, exchange offer, recapitalization, issuance or amendment of securities, liquidation, dissolution, joint venture or similar transaction and whether pursuant to a single transaction or a series of related transactions.

“Third Party” means any Person or group other than Parent, Merger Sub or any Affiliate thereof.

(e) Except as set forth in this Section 5.3(e), neither the Company nor the Company Board (nor any committee thereof) shall (i) effect a Change in Recommendation (it being understood that any “stop, look and listen” or similar communication of the type contemplated by Rule 14d-9(f) of the Exchange Act shall not be deemed a Change in Recommendation), or (ii) subject to the next sentence of this Section 5.3(e), approve, adopt or recommend, or publicly propose to approve, adopt or recommend, or allow the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to execute or enter into, any letter of intent, memorandum of understanding, agreement in principle, joint venture agreement, acquisition or merger agreement or other similar agreement constituting a Takeover Proposal (other than an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement permitted pursuant to Section 5.3(b)). Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Company Board may, at any time prior to obtaining the Company Shareholder Approval and subject to compliance with Section 5.3(f), (A) effect a Change in Recommendation in response to a material development or material change in circumstances occurring or arising after the date hereof with respect to the Company that (1) is materially and disproportionately more favorable to the recurring financial condition and results of operations of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, relative to other businesses operating in the same industry (including Parent’s ADT business) and (2) was neither known to the Company Board nor reasonably foreseeable as of or prior to the date hereof (and not relating to any Takeover Proposal, any development or change relating to Parent (including any decline in the trading price of Parent Shares), clearance of the

Merger under the HSR Act, or any introduction into the marketplace of new or modified products or services by the Company or the Company Subsidiaries) (such material development or change in circumstances, an “Intervening Event”) if the Company Board shall have determined in good faith, after consultation with outside counsel, that failure to take such action would be inconsistent with the Company’s directors’ fiduciary duties to the Company Shareholders and (B) take any of the foregoing actions set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) of this Section 5.3(e) in response to a bona fide written Takeover Proposal made after the date of this Agreement that the Company Board reasonably determines in good faith (after consultation with its outside legal and financial advisors) constitutes a Superior Proposal and that was not solicited in violation of this Section 5.3 if the Company Board shall have determined in good faith, after consultation with outside counsel, that, in light of such Superior Proposal, failure to take such action would be inconsistent with the Company’s directors’ fiduciary duties to the Company Shareholders; provided, however, that with respect to clause (B) above the Company shall not terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(g) or enter into any such agreement, and any such purported termination or executed agreement shall be void and of no force or effect unless the Company (x) pays to Parent the Termination Fee payable pursuant to Section 8.3(b) prior to or substantially concurrently with such termination and (y) has complied in all material respects with its obligations set forth in Section 5.3(f). Any Change in Recommendation shall not change the approval of this Agreement or any other approval of the Company Board in any respect, including any change that would have the effect of causing any state corporate takeover statute or other similar statute to be applicable to the transactions contemplated hereby (including the Merger).

(f) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company Board shall not be entitled to effect a Change in Recommendation or terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(g) unless:

(i) the Company has provided to Parent three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice (a “Notice”) advising Parent that the Company Board is prepared to take such action and specifying the reasons therefor;

(ii) with respect to a Takeover Proposal that the Company Board has determined constitutes a Superior Proposal, the Company has provided or made available to Parent all information concerning its business, properties or assets delivered or made available to the Third Party making such Takeover Proposal that the Company Board has determined constitutes a Superior Proposal; and

(iii) (A) (1) with respect to a Takeover Proposal that the Board has determined constitutes a Superior Proposal, the Notice includes a description of the terms and conditions of such Takeover Proposal that the Company Board has determined constitutes a Superior Proposal and the identity of the Third Party making the proposal (it being understood and agreed that any amendment to the financial terms or any material amendment to any other material term of any such Takeover Proposal shall require a new Notice and a new three (3) Business Day period) and (2) with respect to a Change in Recommendation in response to an Intervening Event, the Company has provided to Parent in the Notice a reasonably detailed description of the Intervening Event; (B) during such three (3) Business Day period, if requested by Parent, the Company provides an opportunity for Parent to propose amendments to this Agreement in such a manner that (1) with respect to a Takeover Proposal, such Takeover Proposal that was determined to constitute a Superior Proposal no longer is a Superior Proposal and (2) with respect to an Intervening Event, such Intervening Event no longer necessitates a Change in

Recommendation; and (C) at 11:59 p.m., Dallas Texas time, at the end of such three (3) Business Day period, (1) with respect to a Takeover Proposal which the Company Board has determined constitutes a Superior Proposal, such Takeover Proposal has not been withdrawn and the Company Board has reasonably concluded in good faith (after consultation with its outside legal and financial advisors) that such Takeover Proposal continues to constitute a Superior Proposal (taking into account any changes to the financial and other terms of this Agreement proposed by Parent in a binding irrevocable written offer following the Notice and as a result of the negotiations between Parent and the Company pursuant to this clause (B)), and (2) in the case of an Intervening Event, such Intervening Event continues to necessitate a Change in Recommendation (taking into account any changes to the financial and other terms of this Agreement proposed by Parent in a binding irrevocable written offer following the Notice and as a result of the negotiations between Parent and the Company pursuant to this clause (B)).

(g) Unless this Agreement is terminated pursuant to, and in accordance with, Section 8.1, the obligation of the Company pursuant to Section 6.1(c) (subject to Section 6.1(d)) to establish a record date for, duly call, give notice of, convene and hold the Company Shareholders Meeting and to hold a vote of the Company Shareholders on the approval of this Agreement and the approval of the Merger at the Company Shareholders Meeting shall not be limited or otherwise affected by the commencement, disclosure, announcement or submission to it of any Takeover Proposal (whether or not a Superior Proposal). For the avoidance of doubt, the Company shall not be required to hold the Company Shareholders Meeting if this Agreement is terminated in accordance with Section 8.1.

Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall be required to provide access to or to disclose information where such access or disclosure would, based on the advice of outside counsel, cause the attorney-client privilege of such party or its Subsidiaries to be inapplicable or violate, in any material respect, any Law or binding agreement entered into prior to the date of this Agreement. The parties shall make appropriate substitute disclosure arrangements under circumstances in which the restrictions of the preceding sentence apply.

(b) Each party shall hold, and shall cause its respective Representatives to hold, any confidential or nonpublic information in accordance with the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement.

the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The parties hereto agree that they will consult with each other with respect to the obtaining of all Permits and consents of all Governmental Entities, and the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting period under the HSR Act or under any other Antitrust Law, necessary or advisable to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and each party will keep the other apprised of the status of matters relating to completion of the transactions contemplated herein. Each of Parent and the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to resolve any objections that may be asserted by any Governmental Entity with respect to this Agreement, the Merger or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Parent and the Company further covenant and agree, with respect to any threatened or pending preliminary or permanent injunction or other Order, ruling or statute, Regulation or executive order that would materially adversely affect the ability of the parties hereto to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, to use their respective reasonable best efforts to prevent the entry, enactment or promulgation thereof, as the case may be, including by defending any lawsuits or other legal proceedings, whether judicial or administrative, challenging this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(b) Each of Parent, on the one hand, and the Company, on the other hand, shall, in connection with the efforts referenced in Section 6.3(a) to obtain all requisite Permits, consents, and expirations or terminations of applicable waiting periods for the transactions contemplated by this Agreement under the HSR Act or any other Antitrust Law (i) cooperate in all respects with each other in connection with any filing or submission and in connection with any investigation or other inquiry, including any proceeding initiated by a private party; (ii) keep the other party and/or its counsel informed of any communication received by such party from, or given by such party to, the Federal Trade Commission (the “FTC”), the Antitrust Division of the Department of Justice (the “DOJ”) or any other Governmental Entity and of any communication received or given in connection with any proceeding by a private party, in each case regarding any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; and (iii) permit the other party and/or its counsel to review in advance any written communication intended to be given by it to, and consult with each other in advance of any meeting or conference with, the FTC, the DOJ or any such other Governmental Entity or, in connection with any proceeding by a private party, with any other Person, and to the extent not prohibited by the FTC, the DOJ or such other Governmental Entity or other Person, give the other party and/or its counsel the opportunity to attend and participate in such meetings and conferences. In exercising the foregoing rights, each of the parties hereto shall act reasonably and as promptly as practicable. For purposes of this Agreement, “Antitrust Law” means the Xxxxxxx Act, as amended, the Xxxxxxx Act, as amended, the HSR Act, the Federal Trade Commission Act, as amended, and all Laws, Orders and judicial doctrines that are designed or intended to prohibit, restrict or regulate actions having the purpose or effect of monopolization or restraint of trade or lessening of competition through merger or acquisition.

that is in effect and that prohibits, prevents or restricts consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement so as to permit such consummation by the second (2^nd) Business Day before the Outside Date and (B) each of Parent and the Company shall defend, at its cost and expense, any action or actions, whether judicial or administrative, against it or its Affiliates in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in connection with any filing or submission required or action to be taken by either Parent or the Company to consummate the Merger, (i) in no event shall Parent or any of its Affiliates be obligated to propose or agree to accept any undertaking or condition, to enter into any consent decree, to make any divestiture or accept any operational restriction, or take or commit to take any action (A) the effectiveness or consummation of which is not conditional on the consummation of the Merger or (B) that individually or in the aggregate is or would reasonably be expected to be materially adverse (with materiality, for purposes of this provision, being measured in relation to the size of the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole) to (1) the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Parent or any of its Subsidiaries, either before or after giving effect to the Merger, or (2) Parent’s ownership or operation of any portion of the Company’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ business or assets; and (ii) without the prior written consent of Parent, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall take any action, agree to take any action or consent to the taking of any action pursuant to this Section 6.3(d) with respect to selling, holding separate, licensing or otherwise disposing of assets or conducting its business in a specified manner.

(e) Parent and the Company shall, upon request, furnish each other with all information concerning themselves, their respective Subsidiaries, directors, officers, employees and shareholders and such other matters as may be reasonably necessary or advisable in connection with any statement, filing, notice, application or other document made by or on behalf of Parent, the Company or any of their respective Subsidiaries to any Governmental Entity in connection with the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including the Form S-4 and the Proxy Statement/Prospectus).

Section 6.5 Reasonable Best Efforts; Further Assurances. Subject to the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, each of the parties shall use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, and to assist and cooperate with the other

(b) Parent shall cause each Company Salaried Employee to receive full credit for all service with the Company and the Company Subsidiaries and their respective predecessors (to the same extent provided by the Company as of the date hereof) under and for the purposes of any plan or arrangement providing vacation, sick pay, severance, retirement, welfare or pension benefits maintained by Parent or the Surviving Entity or any of their respective Affiliates in which such Company Salaried Employees participate for all purposes (including for purposes of eligibility, vesting, benefit accrual and forms of benefit), except that the foregoing shall not apply with respect to benefit accrual under any final average pay defined pension plan or to the extent that such credit would result in any duplication of benefits. In the event of any change in the welfare benefits provided to Company Salaried Employees following the Effective Time, Parent shall or shall cause the Surviving Entity to (i) waive all limitations as to pre-existing conditions, exclusions and waiting periods with respect to participation and coverage requirements applicable to the Company Salaried Employees under any such welfare benefits to the extent that such conditions, exclusions or waiting period would not apply in the absence of such change; and (ii) credit each Company Salaried Employee with any co-payments and deductibles paid prior to any such change during the applicable calendar year in satisfying any applicable deductible or out-of-pocket requirements after such change. If, within six months following the Effective Time, the Surviving Entity or any of its Affiliates causes the involuntary termination (other than termination for “cause”) of a Company Salaried Employee’s employment with the Surviving Entity and/or its Subsidiaries, then the terminated Company Salaried Employee will be entitled to receive severance payments and benefits that are not less favorable than the severance and benefits he or she would have been entitled to receive under the Company Benefit Plans as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, provided, that except as provided in Section 6.6(b) of the Company Disclosure Letter, such payments and benefits do not exceed the payments and benefits provided to similarly situated employees of Parent pursuant the terms of the applicable severance arrangements maintained by Parent, and provided further, that this sentence shall not apply to any Company Salaried Employee who is party to any employment, change of control, severance, retention, or similar agreement with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries providing for severance protections.

(c) The Company shall, if so requested in writing by Parent no later than five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, terminate any and all Company Benefit Plans intended to include a Code Section 401(k) arrangement (each a “401(k) Plan”). In the event that Parent provides such written notice to the Company, the Company shall provide Parent with evidence that such 401(k) Plans have been terminated (effective as of no later than the day immediately preceding the Closing Date) pursuant to resolutions of the Company Board. In the event that Parent shall require termination of the Company’s 401(k) Plans prior to the Closing, Parent shall, prior to the Closing Date, amend its Code Section 401(k) plans to the extent necessary to (a) permit the rollover of accounts from such terminated 401(k) Plans and (b) allow for immediate entry and participation by employees of the Company who were eligible to participate on or prior to the Closing Date in the 401(k) Plans, each amendment to be effective as of the Closing.

(d) Without limiting any of its other obligations hereunder, Parent shall cause all of the Company Benefit Plans listed in Section 3.14(e) of the Company Disclosure Letter to be honored in accordance with their terms. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, nothing contained herein shall (i) be treated as an amendment of any particular Company Benefit Plan, (ii) except as expressly stated with regard to other sections of this Agreement, give any third party, including any Employee, any right to enforce the provisions of this Agreement (including this Section 6.6), (iii) obligate Parent or any of its Affiliates (including the Surviving Entity) to (A) maintain any particular compensation or benefit plan, program, policy or arrangement or (B) retain the employment of any particular Employee, or (iv) limit Parent’s or any of its Affiliates’ ability to amend any plan, program, policy or arrangement.

(b) From and after the Effective Time, Parent and the Surviving Entity shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, indemnify, defend and hold harmless the present and former directors, officers and employees of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in their capacities as such (each, an “Indemnified Party”) against all losses, claims, damages, costs, expenses, liabilities or judgments or amounts that are paid in settlement of or in connection with any claim based in whole or in part on or arising in whole or in part out of the fact that such Indemnified Party is or was a director, officer or employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or is or was a director, officer, employee, agent or fiduciary of any other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise in which such Indemnified Party was serving at the request of the Company, and pertaining to any matter existing or occurring, or any acts or omissions occurring, at or prior to the Effective Time, whether asserted or claimed prior to, or at or after, the Effective Time (including matters, acts or omissions occurring in connection with the approval of this Agreement and the consummation of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement) or taken at the request of Parent or otherwise under this Agreement.

(d) In the event Parent or any of its successors or assigns or the Surviving Entity or any of its successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers or conveys all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Parent or the Surviving Entity, as applicable, assume the obligations set forth in this Section 6.7.

The failure of any party to this Agreement to assert any of its rights under this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of such rights nor shall any single or partial exercise by any party to this Agreement of any of its rights under this Agreement preclude any other or further exercise of such rights or any other rights under this Agreement.

In the event that any provision of this Agreement, or the application thereof, becomes or is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, void, invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect and the application of such provision to other Persons or circumstances shall be interpreted so as reasonably to effect the intent of the parties hereto. The parties further agree to replace such illegal, void, invalid or unenforceable provision of this Agreement with a legal, valid and enforceable provision that shall achieve, to the extent possible, the economic, business and other purposes of such illegal, void, invalid or unenforceable provision.

Section 9.7 Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the documents and instruments and other agreements specifically referred to herein or delivered pursuant hereto, including the Exhibits, the Company Disclosure Letter, the Parent Disclosure Letter and the Confidentiality Agreement constitute the entire agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, except for the Confidentiality Agreement, which shall continue in full force and effect, and shall survive any termination of this Agreement or the Closing, in accordance with its terms. EACH PARTY HERETO AGREES THAT, EXCEPT FOR THE REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES CONTAINED IN THIS AGREEMENT, NONE OF THE COMPANY, PARENT OR MERGER SUB MAKE ANY OTHER REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES (AND NONE OF THE COMPANY, PARENT OR MERGER SUB ARE RELYING ON ANY REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES OTHER THAN AS CONTAINED IN THIS AGREEMENT) AND EACH HEREBY DISCLAIMS ANY OTHER REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES MADE BY ITSELF OR ANY OF ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, FINANCIAL AND LEGAL ADVISORS OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVES, WITH RESPECT TO THE EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY, NOTWITHSTANDING THE DELIVERY OR DISCLOSURE TO ANY OTHER PARTY OR ANY OTHER PARTY’S REPRESENTATIVES OF ANY DOCUMENT OR OTHER INFORMATION WITH RESPECT TO ONE OR MORE OF THE FOREGOING.

Section 9.8 Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations shall be assigned by any of the parties hereto (whether by operation of law or otherwise) without the prior written consent of the other parties, except that Merger Sub, upon two (2) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Company, may, subject to Sections 1.6 and 5.2(d), assign, in its sole discretion, any of or all its rights, interests and obligations under this Agreement to Parent or to any direct (or indirect, in the event that the transaction is restructured pursuant to Section 1.6) wholly-owned Subsidiary of Parent, provided, that no such assignment shall relieve Parent, Merger Sub or ADT Security Services of any of its obligations hereunder and provided further, that such assignment shall not impede or delay the ability of the parties to obtain any necessary approvals of any Governmental Entity required for the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or otherwise impede the rights of the Company Shareholders under this Agreement. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the parties and their respective successors and assigns.

Section 9.9 Third Party Beneficiaries. Except for (a) the rights of the holders of shares of Company Common Stock to receive the Merger Consideration from and after the Effective Time, (b) the rights of holders of equity awards of the Company pursuant to Section 2.7 from the Effective Time, (c) the right of the Company on behalf of the Company Shareholders to pursue damages (including claims for damages based on loss of the economic benefits of the transaction to the Company Shareholders) in the event of Parent’s or Merger Sub’s failure to effect the Merger as required by this Agreement or material breach of this Agreement that contributed to a failure of any of the conditions to Closing from being satisfied, which right is hereby expressly acknowledged and agreed by each of Parent, Merger Sub and ADT Security Services, who shall each be jointly and severally liable for any such damages for which Parent and/or Merger Sub are found liable, and (d) the rights of Indemnified Parties under the provisions of Section 6.7 (Indemnification of Directors and Officers), this Agreement is not intended to and shall not confer upon any Person, other than the parties hereto, any rights or remedies hereunder. The third-party beneficiary rights referenced in clause (c) of the preceding sentence may be exercised only by the Company (on behalf of the Company Shareholders as their agent) through actions expressly approved by the Company Board, and no Company Shareholder, whether purporting to act in its capacity as a shareholder or purporting to assert any right (derivatively or otherwise) on behalf of the Company, shall have any right or ability to exercise or cause the exercise of any such right. The Company, Parent, Merger Sub and ADT Security Services acknowledge and agree that the agreements contained in Section 9.9(c) are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, that ADT Security Services’ obligations hereunder are a material inducement to the Company entering into this Agreement, and that, without these agreements, the Company would not enter into this Agreement.

The mere inclusion of an item in such Company Disclosure Letter or the Parent Disclosure Letter as an exception to a representation or warranty shall not be deemed an admission that such item represents a material exception or material fact, event or circumstance or that such item has had or would have a Company Material Adverse Effect or a Parent Material Adverse Effect, as applicable.
