18

destroyed, and, if required by Parent, the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent, the posting by such Person of a customary bond, in such reasonable amount as Parent, the Surviving Corporation, or the Paying Agent may determine is reasonably necessary, as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, the Paying Agent will issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate the Merger Consideration to be paid in respect of the shares of Company Common Stock represented by such Certificate as contemplated by this Article III .

For the avoidance of doubt, if the exercise price per share of any Company Option, whether vested or unvested as of the Effective Time, is equal to or greater than the Merger Consideration, then by virtue of the occurrence of the Effective Time and without any action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or the holders thereof, the Company Option will automatically terminate and be canceled without payment of any consideration to the holder thereof.

Each holder of an outstanding Company RSU Award and/or Company Restricted Stock Award shall be entitled to receive in exchange for the cancellation thereof the RS/RSU Consideration

19

and Parent shall cause such payment to be made to the holder of such Company RSU Award or Company Restricted Stock Award, as applicable, through the payroll system of the Surviving Corporation or an Acquired Company, as applicable, as soon as practicable following the Closing Date (and in no event later than the next regularly scheduled payroll run of the Surviving Corporation or an Acquired Company, as applicable, following the Closing Date).

        (c)     Company ESPPs.     Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall take all actions with respect to the Company ESPPs that are necessary to provide that, subject to the consummation of the Merger, the Company ESPPs shall terminate effective immediately prior to the Effective Time.

With respect to any offering period outstanding as of the date of this Agreement under the Company ESPPs, promptly following the date of this Agreement, each option granted pursuant to the Company ESPPs shall be deemed to have been exercised upon the earlier to occur of (A) the day that is four (4) Business Days prior to the Effective Time or (B) the date on which such offering period would otherwise end, and no additional offering period shall commence under the Company ESPPs after the date of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the Effective Time does not occur prior to the End Date, the Company and Parent agree to negotiate in good faith to permit the commencement of new offering periods under the Company ESPPs.

Without limiting the foregoing, the Company shall take all necessary action to ensure that the Surviving Corporation will not be bound at the Effective Time by any options, stock appreciation rights, units or other right, awards or arrangements under any stock incentive plan of the Company that would entitle any Person after the Effective Time to beneficially own any Company Common Stock (or any derivative securities thereof) or to receive any payments in respect thereof, except as expressly provided in this Agreement.

The execution, delivery and performance by each of Parent and Merger Sub of this Agreement have been duly and validly authorized by all necessary action on the part of Parent and Merger Sub (subject, with respect to Merger Sub, only to approval by its sole stockholder, which will be effected by written consent immediately following the execution of this Agreement), and no other corporate proceedings on the part of Parent and Merger Sub are necessary to authorize the execution and delivery of this Agreement or for each of Parent and Merger Sub to consummate the Transactions (other than, with

37

respect to the Merger, the filing of the Certificate of Merger with the Delaware Secretary of State). This Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by Parent and Merger Sub and, assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery by the Company of this Agreement, constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of each of Parent and Merger Sub, enforceable against each of them in accordance with its terms, subject to the Enforceability Exceptions.

        (b)   The board of directors or similar governing body of each of Parent and Merger Sub has duly adopted resolutions (i) determining that this Agreement and the Transactions are advisable and in the best interests of Parent, Merger Sub and their respective stockholders or other equityholders, as applicable and (ii) adopting this Agreement and the Transactions. Parent, acting in its capacity as the sole stockholder of Merger Sub, will immediately after execution hereof approve and adopt this Agreement.

        (c)   Except as set forth on Section 5.02(c) of the Parent Disclosure Letter, no vote of, or consent by, the holders of any equity interests of Parent is necessary to authorize the execution, delivery and performance by Parent of this Agreement and the consummation of the Transactions or otherwise required by Parent's organizational documents, Applicable Law or any Governmental Authority.

         Section 5.03    Governmental Authorization.     The execution, delivery and performance by each of Parent and Merger Sub of this Agreement and the consummation by Parent and Merger Sub of the Transactions require no action by or in respect of, or filing with, any Governmental Authority other than (i) the filing of the Certificate of Merger with the Delaware Secretary of State, (ii) compliance with and filings or notifications under any applicable requirements of the Antitrust Laws, (iii) compliance with any applicable requirements of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and any other applicable U.S. state or federal securities, takeover or "blue sky" Laws, (iv) compliance with any applicable rules of NYSE, and (v) any other consents, approvals, authorizations, filings or notices to any Governmental Authority where failure to be obtained, take any such actions or make any such filings would not materially impair or delay the ability of Parent or Merger Sub to consummate the Transactions.

         Section 5.04    Non-Contravention.     The execution, delivery and performance by each of Parent and Merger Sub of this Agreement, the consummation by each of Parent or Merger Sub of the Transactions and the compliance by each of Parent or Merger Sub with any of the provisions of this Agreement does not and will not (i) contravene, conflict with or result in any violation or breach of any provision of the certificate of incorporation or bylaws (or comparable organizational documents) of Parent or Merger Sub, (ii) assuming the consents, approvals, authorizations, filings and notices referred to in Section 5.03 have been obtained or made, any applicable waiting periods referred to therein have terminated or expired and any condition precedent to any such consent has been satisfied or waived, contravene, conflict with or result in a violation or breach of any Applicable Law or (iii) assuming compliance with the matters referred to in Section 5.03 , require any consent by any Person under, constitute a default, or an event that, with or without notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute a default, under, or cause or permit the termination, cancellation, acceleration or other change of any right or obligation or the loss of any benefit to which Parent or any of its Subsidiaries is entitled under any Contract, except in the case of clause (ii) and clause (iii) above, any such violation, breach, default, right, termination, amendment, acceleration, cancellation or loss that would not, individually or in the aggregate, materially impair or delay the ability of Parent or Merger Sub to consummate the Transactions.

         Section 5.05    Litigation.     As of the date of this Agreement, there are not any material Proceedings pending or, to the Knowledge of Parent, threatened against Parent or any of its Subsidiaries that would reasonably be expected to materially impair the ability of Parent or Merger Sub to consummate the Transactions. There is no unsatisfied judgment or any open injunction binding upon

38

Parent or any of its Subsidiaries which would reasonably be expected to materially impair the ability of Parent or Merger Sub to consummate the Transactions.

         Section 5.06    No Brokers.     There is no investment banker, broker, finder or other financial intermediary that has been retained by or is authorized to act on behalf of any of Parent or its Subsidiaries who will be entitled to any fee or commission from Parent or its Subsidiaries, including Merger Sub, in connection with the Transactions.

         Section 5.07    Ownership of Company Capital Stock.     

        (a)   Parent and Merger Sub and their respective Subsidiaries do not beneficially own (as such term is used in Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act) any shares of Company Common Stock or other securities of the Company or any options, warrants or other rights to acquire Company Common Stock or other securities of, or any other economic interest (through derivative securities or otherwise) in, the Company.

        (b)   Other than as may be provided pursuant to the Voting Agreement, neither Parent nor any of its Affiliates has entered into any Contract, arrangement or understanding (in each case, whether oral or written), or authorized, committed or agreed to enter into any Contract, arrangement or understanding (in each case, whether oral or written), pursuant to which: (i) any stockholder of the Company would be entitled to receive consideration of a different amount or nature than the Merger Consideration, (ii) any stockholder of the Company (A) agrees to vote to adopt this Agreement or the Merger or (B) agrees to vote against, or not to tender its shares of Company Common Stock in, any Acquisition Proposal or (iii) any Third Party has agreed to provide, directly or indirectly, equity capital to Parent to finance in whole or in part the Merger other than the Equity Commitment Letter and the Preferred Equity Financing.

         Section 5.08    Financial Capacity.     Parent has delivered to the Company true and complete copies of (a) an executed equity commitment letter dated the date hereof (the " Equity Commitment Letter "), to provide the Equity Financing in cash in an aggregate amount of at least $790,000,000, (b) an executed preferred equity commitment letter dated the date hereof (as amended, supplemented or replaced in compliance with this Agreement or as required by Section 7.14 following a Financing Failure Event, the " Preferred Equity Commitment Letter "), to provide the Preferred Equity Financing in cash in an aggregate amount of at least $575,000,000, and (c) the executed Debt Commitment Letter. None of the Commitment Letters have been amended or modified in any manner prior to the date of this Agreement. As of the date of this Agreement, neither Parent nor any of its Affiliates has entered into any agreement, side letter or other commitment or arrangement relating to the funding of the full amount of the Financing or the conditionality, enforceability, termination or availability of the Financing, other than as set forth in the Commitment Letters and the fee letters and engagement letter related thereto, as applicable. The aggregate proceeds of the Debt Financing (both before and after giving effect to the exercise of any or all "market flex" provisions related thereto), the Equity Financing and the Preferred Equity Financing will be sufficient to consummate the Transactions, including the payment of the aggregate Merger Consideration, Option Consideration and RS/RSU Consideration to which holders of Company Common Stock, Company Options, Company Restricted Stock Awards and Company RSU Awards will be entitled at the Effective Time pursuant to this Agreement, and to pay all fees and expenses required to be paid by Verscend Holding, Parent or Merger Sub in connection with the Transactions. As of the date of this Agreement, the commitments contained in the Commitment Letters have not been withdrawn or rescinded in any respect. The Commitment Letters are in full force and effect and represent valid, binding and enforceable obligations of Verscend Holding and, to the Knowledge of Parent and the knowledge of Verscend Holding, each other party thereto (subject to the Enforceability Exceptions) to provide the financing contemplated thereby subject only to the satisfaction or waiver of the Financing Conditions. Verscend Holding has fully paid (or caused to be paid) any and all commitment fees and other amounts that are due and payable on or

39

prior to the date of this Agreement in connection with the Financing. As of the date of this Agreement, no event has occurred which, with or without notice, lapse of time or both, would constitute a breach or default on the part of Verscend Holding or, to the Knowledge of Parent or the knowledge of Verscend Holding, any other party to the Commitment Letters, in each case under any term of the Commitment Letters. Assuming (x) the accuracy of the representations and warranties set forth in Article IV (subject to all Company Material Adverse Effect, materiality and knowledge qualifications contained therein), (y) the performance by the Company and its Subsidiaries of the covenants set forth in Section 7.13 and (z) the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions to Parent's and Merger Sub's obligations to consummate the Merger, as of the date of this Agreement, Parent and Verscend Holding have no reason to believe that Verscend Holding or any other party thereto will be unable to satisfy on a timely basis any term of any of the Commitment Letters. There are no conditions precedent or other contingencies related to the funding of the full amount of the Financing other than the Financing Conditions. The only conditions precedent or other contingencies related to the funding of the Debt Financing on the Closing Date that will be included in the Debt Financing Documents shall be the Financing Conditions contained in the Debt Commitment Letter. Assuming (x) the accuracy of the representations and warranties set forth in Article IV (subject to all materiality and knowledge qualifications contained therein), (y) the performance by the Company and its Subsidiaries of the covenants set forth in Section 7.13 and (z) the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions to Parent's and Merger Sub's obligations to consummate the Merger, as of the date of this Agreement, Parent and Verscend Holding have no reason to believe that (i) any of the Financing Conditions will not be satisfied or (ii) the Financing will not be made available to Verscend Holding on the Closing Date. Parent and Merger Sub expressly agree and acknowledge that their obligations hereunder, including Parent's and Merger Sub's obligations to consummate the Merger, are not subject to, or conditioned on, Verscend Holding's, Parent's or Merger Sub's receipt of financing.

         Section 5.09    Solvency.     Neither Parent nor Merger Sub is entering into the Transactions with the actual intent to hinder, delay or defraud either present or future creditors of any Acquired Company. Assuming (x) the accuracy of the representations and warranties set forth in Article IV (without regard to any of the Company Material Adverse Effect, materiality and knowledge qualifications contained therein), (y) the performance in all material respects by the Company and its Subsidiaries of the covenants set forth in Section 7.13 and (z) the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Section 8.01 and Section 8.02 , as of the date of this Agreement, each of Parent and the Surviving Corporation will, after giving effect to all of the Transactions, including the payment of any amounts required to be paid in connection with the consummation of the Transactions and the payment of all related fees and expenses, be solvent at and immediately after the Effective Time. As used in this Section 5.09 , the term "solvent" means, with respect to a particular date, that on such date, (a) the sum of the assets, at a fair valuation, of Parent and Merger Sub and, after the Merger, Parent and the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries will exceed their debts, (b) each of Parent and Merger Sub and, after the Merger, Parent and the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries have not incurred debts beyond its ability to pay such debts as such debts mature, and (c) each of Parent and Merger Sub and, after the Merger, Parent and the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries, has sufficient capital and liquidity with which to conduct its business.

         Section 5.10    Information in the Proxy Statement.     The information supplied by Parent for inclusion or incorporation by reference in the Proxy Statement (and any amendment thereof or supplement thereto) will not, at the date mailed to the Company's stockholders and at the time of the meeting of the Company's stockholders to be held in connection with the Merger, 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 made therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading. However, Parent and Merger Sub do not make any representations or warranties with respect to information in the Proxy Statement that is not supplied by or on behalf of

40

Parent or Merger Sub for inclusion in the Proxy Statement, or that is inconsistent with information supplied by or on behalf of Parent or Merger Sub for inclusion in the Proxy Statement.

         Section 5.11    Ownership of Merger Sub; No Prior Activities.     All of the authorized capital stock of Merger Sub consists of 1,000 shares, par value $0.01 per share, all of which are validly issued and outstanding. All of the issued and outstanding shares of stock of Merger Sub are, and at the Effective Time will be, owned directly by Parent. Merger Sub was formed solely for the purpose of engaging in the Transactions. Except for obligations or liabilities incurred in connection with its formation, this Agreement, the Voting Agreement and the Transactions, Merger Sub has not and will not prior to the Effective Time have incurred, directly or indirectly, any obligations or liabilities or engaged in any business activities of any type or kind whatsoever or entered into any agreements or arrangements with any Person.

         Section 5.12    Company Arrangements.     Other than this Agreement and as may be provided pursuant to the Voting Agreement, as of the date hereof, none of Parent or Merger Sub, or their respective executive officers, directors or Affiliates, has entered into any agreement, arrangement or understanding with any of the executive officers, directors or Affiliates of the Company relating in any way to the Transactions or the operations of the Company.

         Section 5.13    Investment Intention.     Parent is acquiring through the Transactions the shares of capital stock of the Surviving Corporation for its own account, for investment purposes only and not with a view to the distribution (as such term is used in Section 2(11) of the Securities Act) thereof. Parent understands that the shares of capital stock of the Surviving Corporation have not been registered under the Securities Act or any "blue sky" Laws and cannot be sold unless subsequently registered under the Securities Act, any applicable "blue sky" Laws or pursuant to an exemption from any such registration.

         Section 5.14    No Additional Representations and Warranties.     Except as provided in this Article V or in any certificate to be delivered by Parent or Merger Sub in connection with this Agreement, neither Parent nor Merger Sub nor any other Person on behalf of Parent or Merger Sub makes any express or implied representation or warranty with respect to Parent or any of its Subsidiaries (including Merger Sub). Parent acknowledges and agrees that, except for the representations and warranties explicitly set forth in Article IV , neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries (including Merger Sub) (or any of their respective Representatives) makes or has made, any other express or implied representation or warranty at law or in equity with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

        (a)   Except as otherwise expressly permitted by this Section 6.02 , the Company shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries and its and their respective officers, directors and employees and shall use reasonable best efforts to cause their other Representatives:

          (i)  from and after the execution of this Agreement until the Effective Time or the date, if any, on which this Agreement is validly terminated in accordance with Article IX , immediately cease and cause to be terminated any existing discussions, solicitation, encouragement, discussion or negotiation with any Third Party with respect to an Acquisition Proposal;

         (ii)  from and after the execution of this Agreement until the Effective Time or the date, if any, on which this Agreement is validly terminated in accordance with Article IX , not directly or indirectly (A) solicit, initiate, seek or knowingly facilitate or encourage any inquiry, discussion, offer or request relating to, or that constitutes, or would reasonably be expected to lead to, an Acquisition Proposal, (B) enter into continue or otherwise participate in any discussions or negotiations with, or furnish any non-public information relating to the Acquired Companies to, or afford access to the properties, books or records or employees of the Acquired Companies to, any Third Party with respect to or that could reasonably be expected to lead to any Acquisition Proposal; provided , that notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall be permitted to grant a waiver of or terminate any "standstill" or similar agreement or obligation of any Third Party with respect to the Acquired Companies to allow such Third Party to submit an Acquisition Proposal, (C) other than a confidentiality agreement pursuant to Section 6.02(b)(iii) , approve, endorse, recommend or enter into, or publicly propose to approve, endorse, recommend or enter into any letter of intent, memorandum of understanding, agreement in principle, acquisition agreement, merger agreement or other definitive agreement with respect to any Acquisition Proposal (an " Alternative Acquisition Agreement ") or (D) agree, propose or resolve to take, or take, any of the actions prohibited by the foregoing clause (A) through clause (C); and

        Without limiting the foregoing, it is agreed that any breach of the restrictions or obligations set forth in Section 6.02 by any Subsidiary of the Company or any Representatives of the Company of any of its Subsidiaries, shall be a breach of Section 6.02 by the Company.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 6.02 or elsewhere in this Agreement, the Company, its Subsidiaries and its Representatives may, in any event (without the Company Board having to make the determination in clause (ii) of the preceding sentence), contact any such Third Party to (i) seek to clarify and understand the terms and conditions of any inquiry or proposal made by any such Third Party solely to determine whether such inquiry or proposal constitutes, or could reasonably be expected to lead to, a Superior Proposal and (ii) inform any such Third Party of the provisions of this Section 6.02 .

        (c)   Except as expressly permitted by this Section 6.02(c) , Section 6.02(d) or Section 6.02(e) , until the earlier of the adoption of this Agreement by the Required Company Stockholder Approval or the valid termination of this Agreement in accordance with Article IX , neither the Company Board nor any committee thereof shall or shall propose publicly to (i) withhold, withdraw, qualify, change, amend or modify, in each case in a manner adverse to Parent or Merger Sub, the Company Board Recommendation; (ii) fail to include the Company Board Recommendation in the Proxy Statement; (iii) fail to reaffirm the Company Board Recommendation within four (4) Business Days of receipt of a written request from Parent to do so (it being agreed that neither the delivery of a notice by the Company described in Section 6.02(d) nor any public announcement thereof shall constitute an Adverse Recommendation Change); (iv) after receipt of any Company Acquisition Proposal, fail to recommend against any Company Acquisition Proposal within four (4) Business Days of receipt of a written request from Parent to do so (it being agreed that neither the delivery of a notice by the Company described in Section 6.02(d) nor any public announcement thereof shall constitute an Adverse Recommendation Change); (v) fail to recommend against any Acquisition Proposal that is a tender or exchange offer by a Third Party pursuant to Rule 14d-9 or Rule 14e-2 promulgated under the Exchange Act (or any similar communication to the Company's stockholders); (vi) approve, adopt, declare advisable or

45

recommend, or publicly propose to approve, adopt, declare advisable or recommend, any Acquisition Proposal (any of the actions described in clause (i) through clause (vi) of this Section 6.02(c) , an " Adverse Recommendation Change "); or (vii) adopt or approve, or cause or permit the Company to enter into or otherwise resolve or agree to any Alternative Acquisition Agreement (other than a confidentiality agreement pursuant to Section 6.02(b)(iii ). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, if at any time prior to the receipt of the Required Company Stockholder Approval, (A) the Company Board may, subject to first complying with Section 6.02(d) or Section 6.02(e) , as applicable, make an Adverse Recommendation Change (i) in response to an Intervening Event or (ii) if the Company Board receives an unsolicited bona fide Acquisition Proposal after the date of this Agreement that did not result from a breach of this Section 6.02 (other than any breach that is both immaterial and unintentional) and, in the case of each of clause (i) and clause (ii), the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with its financial and outside legal advisors, that failure to take such action would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with the directors' fiduciary duties to the Company's stockholders under Applicable Law and (B) in the event the Company Board receives an unsolicited bona fide Acquisition Proposal after the date of this Agreement that did not result from a breach of this Section 6.02 (other than any breach that is both immaterial and unintentional) and the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with its financial and outside legal advisors, that such Acquisition Proposal is a Superior Proposal, the Company Board shall be permitted, to validly terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.01(h) and enter into a definitive Alternative Acquisition Agreement in connection with such Superior Proposal, if and only if the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with its financial and outside legal advisors, that failure to take such action would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with the directors' fiduciary duties to the Company's stockholders under Applicable Law, subject to the Company first complying with Section 6.02(d) and substantially concurrently with entering into any such definitive agreement (1) the Company validly terminates this Agreement in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.01(h) and (2) the Company pays the Company Termination Fee in accordance with Section 9.03(b) .

        (d)   The Company Board shall not be entitled to effect an Adverse Recommendation Change with respect to a Superior Proposal or validly terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.01(h) unless (i) the Company has provided, at least three (3) Business Days in advance, written notice (a " Notice of Adverse Recommendation Change ") to Parent that the Company intends to take such action (it being understood that the delivery of a Notice of Adverse Recommendation Change and any amendment or update thereto and the determination to so deliver such notice, amendment or update will not, by itself, constitute an Adverse Recommendation Change), which notice includes, written notice of the material terms of the Superior Proposal which enabled the Company Board to make the determination that the Acquisition Proposal is a Superior Proposal; (ii) during the three (3) Business Day period following the time of Parent's receipt of the Notice of Adverse Recommendation Change, the Company shall, and shall cause its Representatives to, negotiate with Parent in good faith (to the extent Parent desires to negotiate) to make such adjustments in the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Commitment Letters and the Transactions so that such Superior Proposal ceases to constitute a Superior Proposal such that the failure to take such action would no longer be inconsistent with the director's fiduciary duties to the Company's stockholders under Applicable Law; and (iii) following the end of the three (3) Business Day period described in the preceding clause (ii), the Company Board shall have determined in good faith, after consultation with its financial and outside legal advisors, after considering in good faith any changes to this Agreement, the Commitment Letters and the Transactions offered by Parent in response to the Notice of Adverse Recommendation Change or otherwise, that the Superior Proposal giving rise to the Notice of Adverse Recommendation Change continues to constitute a Superior Proposal and that failure to take such action would be inconsistent with the director's fiduciary duties to the Company's stockholders under Applicable Law. In the event of any amendment or modification to the amount or form of consideration payable in connection with the

46

Superior Proposal or any material amendment or modification to any other term of the Superior Proposal, the Company shall be required to issue a new Notice of Adverse Recommendation Change or otherwise comply again with the requirements of this Section 6.02(d) ; provided , however , that for purposes of this sentence, references to the three (3) Business Day period above shall be deemed to be references to a two (2) Business Day period from the time of Parent's receipt of such new Notice of Adverse Recommendation Change.

        (e)   Other than in connection with effecting an Adverse Recommendation Change with respect to a Superior Proposal or causing the Company to validly terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.01(h) and enter into an Alternative Acquisition Agreement (which, in each case, shall be subject to Section 6.02(d) and shall not be subject to this Section 6.02(e) ), the Company Board may effect an Adverse Recommendation Change in response to an Intervening Event, only if, prior to such action (i) the Company has provided, at least three (3) Business Days in advance, a Notice of Adverse Recommendation Change to Parent that the Company intends to take such action (it being understood that the delivery of a Notice of Adverse Recommendation Change and any amendment or update thereto and the determination to so deliver such notice, amendment or update will not, by itself, constitute an Adverse Recommendation Change), which notice includes, a reasonably detailed summary of the facts, events and/or circumstances of and relating to the Intervening Event and the reasons for such Adverse Recommendation Change; (ii) during the three (3) Business Day period following the time of Parent's receipt of the Notice of Adverse Recommendation Change, the Company shall, and shall cause its Representatives to negotiate with Parent in good faith (to the extent Parent desires to negotiate) to make such adjustments in the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Commitment Letters and the Transactions such that the failure to take such action would no longer be inconsistent with the director's fiduciary duties to the Company's stockholders under Applicable Law; and (iii) following the end of the three (3) Business Day period described in the preceding clause (ii), the Company Board shall have determined in good faith, after consultation with its financial and outside legal advisors, after considering in good faith any changes to this Agreement, the Commitment Letters and the Transactions offered by Parent in response to the Notice of Adverse Recommendation Change or otherwise, that the Intervening Event giving rise to the Notice of Adverse Recommendation Change continues to constitute an Intervening Event and that failure to take such action would be inconsistent with the director's fiduciary duties to the Company's stockholders under Applicable Law.

        (f)    From and after the execution of this Agreement until the Effective Time or the date, if any, on which this Agreement is validly terminated in accordance with Article IX , (i) as promptly as reasonably practicable (and in any event within one (1) Business Day) after receipt by the Company or any of its Representatives of any Acquisition Proposal from any Third Party or any request for non-public information or offer or inquiry that could reasonably be expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal from any Third Party, the Company shall provide Parent with written notice of the identity of such Third Party and the material terms and conditions of such Acquisition Proposal, request, offer or inquiry and, in the case of written materials (including any financing commitments received), provide Parent copies of all such materials, (ii) as promptly as reasonably practicable (and in any event within one (1) Business Day) make available to Parent copies of all materials provided by the Company to such Third Party but not previously made available to Parent and (iii) the Company shall provide Parent with reasonably prompt written notice setting forth such information as is reasonably necessary to keep Parent informed of material oral or written communications regarding, and the status and material details (including material amendments or proposed material amendments) of, any such Acquisition Proposal or other request, offer or inquiry.

47

        (g)   Nothing contained in this Agreement shall prohibit the Company or the Company Board, directly or indirectly through its Representatives, from (i) disclosing to the Company's stockholders a position with respect to a tender or exchange offer by a Third Party pursuant to Rule 14d-9 or Rule 14e-2 promulgated under the Exchange Act (or any similar communication to the Company's stockholders) (provided that such disclosure does not constitute an Adverse Recommendation Change), (ii) making any "stop, look and listen" communication to the Company's stockholders pursuant to Rule 14d-9(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act, or (iii) making any other legally required communication to the Company's stockholders with regard to the Transactions if (in the case of this clause (iii)) the Company Board has determined in good faith, after consultation with its financial and outside legal advisors, that the failure to do so would be inconsistent with the directors' fiduciary duties to the Company's stockholders under Applicable Law; provided , however , that (A) in no event shall this Section 6.02(g) affect the obligations specified in Section 6.02(c) and (B) any such disclosure (other than making any "stop, look and listen" communication to the Company's stockholders pursuant to Rule 14d-9(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act) that addresses or relates to the approval, recommendation or declaration of advisability by the Company Board with respect to this Agreement or an Acquisition Proposal shall be deemed to be an Adverse Recommendation Change, unless the Company Board in connection with such communication publicly states that its recommendation with respect to this Agreement has not changed or refers to Company Board Recommendation without disclosing any Adverse Recommendation Change.

         Section 6.03    Access to Information.     The Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries and its and their respective Representatives to, afford to Parent and its Representatives, and to the Financing Sources and their respective Representatives, reasonable access, during normal business hours, in such manner as to not unreasonably interfere with the normal operation of the Acquired Companies ( provided , that the Company or its Subsidiaries, as the case may be, shall use its reasonable best efforts to make arrangements for such access in a manner that minimized the likelihood of unreasonable interference), to their respective properties, books, Contracts, commitments, Tax Returns, records and appropriate Representatives of the Acquired Companies, and shall furnish such Representatives with existing financial and operating data and other information concerning the affairs, business, property and personnel of the Acquired Companies as such Representatives may reasonably request; provided , that such investigation shall only be upon reasonable notice and shall be at Parent's sole cost and expense; provided , further , that nothing herein shall require the Acquired Companies to disclose any information to Parent or its Representatives if such disclosure would, in the reasonable judgment of the Company, (i) violate Applicable Law or the provisions of any Contract (including any confidentiality agreement or similar agreement or arrangement) to which any Acquired Company is a party or (ii) jeopardize any attorney-client or other legal privilege (it being agreed that, with respect to clause (i), the Company shall use reasonable efforts to cause such information to be provided in a manner that would not cause such violation or jeopardy; provided , further , that nothing herein shall authorize Parent or its Representatives to undertake any environmental testing involving sampling of soil, groundwater or building materials, or other similar invasive techniques at any of the Acquired Companies' properties. All information obtained by Parent, Merger Sub and their respective Representatives shall be subject to the Confidentiality Agreement. No investigation or access permitted pursuant to this Section 6.03 shall affect or be deemed to modify any representation or warranty made by the Company hereunder, or otherwise limit or affect the remedies available to Parent or Merger Sub under this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, neither the foregoing nor any other provision of this Agreement or the Confidentiality Agreement shall be deemed to limit any customary disclosure made by Parent, Merger Sub and their Affiliates to the Financing Sources or rating agencies in connection with efforts or activities by Parent and Merger Sub to obtain the Financing.

On the date of filing, the date of mailing to the Company stockholders (if applicable) and at the time of the Company Stockholder Meeting, the Company shall cause the Proxy Statement to not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not false or

50

misleading; provided , however that (i) notwithstanding the foregoing, no covenant is made by the Company with respect to any information supplied by Parent, Merger Sub or any of their Affiliates for inclusion or incorporation by reference in the Proxy Statement and (ii) updates thereafter in responses to claims shall not per se be deemed to be a breach for purposes of this Section 7.02(a) .

In no event will the record date of the Company Stockholder Meeting be changed without Parent's prior written consent, unless required by Applicable Law. Without the prior written consent of Parent, the adoption of this Agreement shall be the only matter (other than matters of procedure and matters required by Applicable Law to be voted on by the Company's stockholders in connection with the adoption of this Agreement) that the Company shall propose to be acted on by the stockholders of the Company at the Company Stockholder Meeting. Unless the Company Board shall have effected an Adverse Recommendation Change, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to solicit proxies in favor of the adoption of this Agreement and shall use its reasonable best efforts to secure the Required Company Stockholder Approval at the Company Stockholder Meeting.

        (e)   If the Company determines that it is required to file any document other than the Proxy Statement with the SEC in connection with the Merger pursuant to Applicable Law (such document, as amended or supplemented, an " Other Required Company Filing "), then the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to promptly prepare and file such Other Required Company Filing with the SEC. The Company will use its reasonable best efforts to cause any Other Required Company Filing to comply as to form in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules of the SEC and the New York Stock Exchange.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth therein or herein, the Confidentiality Agreement shall continue in full force and effect until the Closing. For the avoidance of doubt, neither the foregoing nor any other provision of this Agreement shall be deemed to limit any customary disclosure made by Parent, Merger Sub and their Affiliates to the Financing Sources and rating agencies in connection with efforts or activities by Parent and Merger Sub to obtain the Financing.

         Section 7.07    Employee Matters     

        (a)   For a period of one (1) year following the Closing Date, Parent shall or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to maintain for each employee who continues in the employ of Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of their Subsidiaries following the Closing Date (each, a " Continuing Employee "), (i) base salary, target cash incentive opportunity and severance benefits (with respect to severance benefits, to the extent set forth in an Employee Plan listed in Section 4.16(a) of the Company Disclosure Letter), in each case, that are not less than those provided to the Continuing Employee immediately prior to the Closing and (ii) employee benefits (including retirement, health and welfare benefits, but excluding defined benefit pension benefits, retiree health and life insurance benefits and equity compensation) which are substantially comparable in the aggregate to those provided to the Continuing Employee immediately prior to the Closing. This Section 7.07 shall not limit the obligation of Parent to maintain any compensation arrangement or benefit plan that, pursuant to an existing Contract, must be maintained for a period longer than one (1) year. No provision of this Agreement shall be construed as a guarantee of continued employment of any Continuing Employee and this Agreement shall not be construed so as to prohibit Parent or any of its Subsidiaries from having the right to terminate the employment of any Continuing Employee, provided that any such termination is effected in accordance with Applicable Law.

        (b)   From and after the Closing, Parent shall give each Continuing Employee full credit for his or her years of service with the Company for all purposes (including for purposes of eligibility to participate, level of benefits, early retirement eligibility and early retirement subsidies, vesting and benefit accrual) under any employee benefit plans, arrangements, collective agreements and employment-related entitlements (including under any applicable pension, 401(k), savings, medical, dental, life insurance, vacation, long-service leave or other leave entitlements, termination indemnity, severance or separation pay plans) provided, sponsored, maintained or contributed to by Parent or any of its Subsidiaries for such Continuing Employee's service with any Acquired Company, and with any predecessor employer, to the same extent recognized by the Acquired Companies, except to the extent such credit would result in the duplication of benefits for the same period of service. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent permitted under Applicable Law, Parent shall not be required to provide credit for such service for benefit accrual or eligibility purposes under any employee benefit plan of Parent that is a defined benefit pension plan or a post-retirement health and life insurance plan.

        (c)   Parent shall (i) waive for each Continuing Employee and his or her dependents, any waiting period provision, payment requirement to avoid a waiting period, pre-existing condition limitation, actively-at-work requirement and any other restriction that would prevent immediate or full participation under the welfare plans of Parent or any of its Subsidiaries applicable to such Continuing Employee to the extent such waiting period, pre-existing condition limitation, actively-at-work requirement or other restriction would not have been applicable to such Continuing Employee under the terms of the welfare plans of the Acquired Companies, and (ii) give full credit under the welfare plans of Parent and its Subsidiaries applicable to each Continuing Employee and his or her dependents for all co-payments and deductibles satisfied prior to the Closing in the same plan year as the Closing, and for any lifetime maximums, as if there had been a single continuous employer.

        (d)   If requested by Parent at least ten (10) Business days prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall take all actions necessary to terminate the Company's tax-qualified defined contribution retirement plan (the " Company 401(k) Plan "), or cause such plan to be terminated, effective as of no later than the day immediately preceding the Closing Date, and contingent upon the occurrence of the

54

Closing, and provide that participants in the Company 401(k) Plan shall become fully vested in any unvested portion of their Company 401(k) Plan accounts as of the date such plan is terminated. If such request to terminate the Company 401(k) Plan is made, the Company shall provide Parent with evidence that the Company 401(k) Plan has been terminated (effective no later than immediately prior to the Closing Date and contingent on the Closing) pursuant to resolutions of the Company. The form and substance of such resolutions shall be subject to prior review by Parent. If the Company 401(k) Plan is terminated, Parent shall designate a tax-qualified defined contribution retirement plan with a cash or deferred arrangement that is sponsored by the Parent or one of its Subsidiaries (the " Parent 401(k) Plan ") that will cover Continuing Employees effective as of the Effective Time. In connection with the termination of the Company 401(k) Plan, Parent shall cause the Parent 401(k) Plan to accept from the Company 401(k) Plan the "direct rollover" of the account balance (including the in-kind rollover of promissory notes evidencing all outstanding loans) of each Continuing Employee who participated in the Company 401(k) Plan as of the date such plan is terminated and who elects such direct rollover in accordance with the terms of the Company 401(k) Plan and the Code. The Surviving Corporation and Parent shall cooperate in good faith to take any and all commercially reasonable actions needed to permit each Continuing Employee with an outstanding loan balance under the Company 401(k) Plan as of the date such plan is terminated to continue to make scheduled loan payments to the Company 401(k) Plan after the Closing, pending the distribution and in-kind rollover of the promissory notes evidencing such loans from the Company 401(k) Plan to the Parent 401(k) Plan, as provided in the preceding sentence, such as to prevent, to the extent reasonably possible, a deemed distribution or loan offset with respect to such outstanding loans.

        (e)   Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, no provision of this Agreement shall be deemed to (i) require Parent to continue any incentive or benefit plan or prevent the amendment, modification or termination thereof after the Effective Time or (ii) be treated as an amendment or other modification of any incentive or benefit plan. The provisions of this Section 7.07 are solely for the benefit of the parties to this Agreement, and no Continuing Employee (including any beneficiary or dependent thereof) or other Person shall be regarded for any purpose as a third party beneficiary of this Agreement, and no provision of this Section 7.07 shall create such rights in any such Persons.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that Parent so requests and at the sole expense of Parent, the Company shall and shall cause its Subsidiaries to pay any such fee or grant any such concession (subject in the case of concessions to being conditioned on Closing) in order to obtain any such consents (and Parent shall provide the Company with such amounts in order to make any such payment).

         Section 7.09    Notices of Certain Events.     The Company shall, after becoming aware, give prompt notice to Parent and Merger Sub in writing of: (i) (x) any representation or warranty made by the Company contained in this Agreement becoming untrue or inaccurate such that the conditions set forth in Section 8.02(a) would not be satisfied or (y) any failure of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to comply with any covenant or agreement to be complied with by it under this Agreement such that the conditions set forth in Section 8.02(b) would not be satisfied; and (ii) the occurrence or existence of any event, change, circumstance, condition, development, occurrence or state of facts that has had or would reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Company Material Adverse Effect. The Company shall give prompt notice to Parent, and Parent shall give prompt notice to the Company, of (i) any notice or other communication received by such party from any Governmental Authority in connection with this Agreement or the Transactions or from any Person alleging that the consent of

such Person is or may be required in connection with the Transactions, if the subject matter of such communication or the failure of such party to obtain such consent could be material to the Company, the Surviving Corporation or Parent, and (ii) any Proceedings commenced or, to such party's Knowledge, threatened against, relating to or involving or otherwise affecting such party or any of its Subsidiaries which relate to this Agreement or the Transactions.

         Section 7.14    Financing     

        (a)   Verscend Holding and Parent shall take, or use its reasonable best efforts to cause to be taken, all actions and do, or use its reasonable best efforts to cause to be done, all things necessary or advisable to arrange and obtain and consummate the Financing on or prior to the Closing Date. Such actions shall include, but not be limited to, the following: (i) maintaining in effect the Commitment Letters until the Closing ( provided that the Commitment Letters may be amended, supplemented, modified and replaced as permitted pursuant to Section 7.14(b) ); (ii) satisfying on a timely basis all Financing Conditions applicable to Verscend Holding and within the control of Verscend Holding or Parent to obtaining the Financing; (iii) negotiating, executing and delivering Preferred Equity Financing Documents that reflect the terms contained in the Preferred Equity Commitment Letter and Debt Financing Documents that reflect the terms contained in the Debt Commitment Letter (including any "market flex" provisions related thereto) or on such other terms acceptable to Verscend Holding and its Financing Sources; (iv) in the event that the conditions set forth in Section 8.01 and Section 8.02 and the Financing Conditions have been satisfied or, upon funding would be satisfied, causing the full amount of the Financing to be funded; and (v) enforcing Verscend Holding's rights under the Debt Commitment Letter or the Preferred Equity Commitment Letter in the event of a Financing Failure Event.

        (b)   Parent shall give the Company prompt notice of any breach, repudiation or threatened in writing breach or repudiation by any party to any Commitment Letter of which Parent or its Affiliates becomes aware. Without limiting Verscend Holding's or Parent's other obligations under this Section 7.14 , if a Financing Failure Event occurs, Verscend Holding shall (i) promptly notify the Company of such Financing Failure Event and the reasons therefor, (ii) obtain alternative financing from alternative Financing Sources (on terms containing no new or additional conditions to the consummation of such financing), in an amount sufficient to pay the aggregate Merger Consideration, Option Consideration and RS/RSU Consideration pursuant to this Agreement and consummate the Transactions, as promptly as practicable following the occurrence of such event, and (iii) obtain, and when obtained, provide the Company with a true and complete copy of, a new financing commitment that provides for such alternative financing subject only to the Financing Conditions; provided , however , that in no event shall the foregoing require Verscend Holding to, and Verscend Holding shall not be required to, agree to any terms or conditions materially less favorable (taken as whole and taking into account any "market flex" provision) to Verscend Holding (as determined in the reasonable judgment of Verscend Holding), in each case relative to those in the Debt Financing or the Preferred Equity Financing, as applicable, being replaced. Neither Parent nor any of its Affiliates shall amend, modify, supplement or replace any of the Commitment Letters or any Debt Financing Document except (x) for substitutions and replacements pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence and (y) any amendment, modification, supplement or replacement that does not (A) add new (or otherwise expands, amends or modifies any existing) conditions to the consummation of all or any portion of the Debt Financing or the Preferred Equity Financing in a manner that would reasonably be expected to delay or prevent, or make less likely to occur, the funding of the Debt Financing or the Preferred Equity Financing (or satisfaction of the conditions to the Debt Financing or the Preferred Equity Financing) on the Closing Date, (B) reduce the aggregate amount of the Debt Financing or the Preferred Equity Financing below the amount (together with the amount from the Equity Financing) required to consummate the Transactions and to pay related fees and expenses or (C) adversely impacts in any material respect the ability of Verscend Holding to enforce its rights against the other parties to the Preferred Equity Commitment Letter, the Preferred Equity Financing Documents, the Debt Commitment Letter or the Debt Financing Documents as so amended, replaced, supplemented, otherwise modified or waived, relative to the ability of Verscend Holding to enforce its rights against such other parties to the Preferred Equity Commitment Letter as in effect on the date hereof, the Debt Commitment Letters as in effect on the date hereof or in the Preferred Equity Financing Documents and Debt Financing Documents prior to giving effect thereto. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing

59

herein shall prevent Parent from amending and restating the Commitment Letters in order to add lead arrangers, bookrunners, syndication agents, investors, co-investors or similar entities which had not executed the applicable Commitment Letters. Parent shall keep the Company informed in reasonable detail of the status of Verscend Holding's efforts to arrange the Financing upon request. Parent and Merger Sub expressly acknowledge and agree that their obligations under this Agreement, including their obligations to consummate the Merger, are not subject to, or conditioned on, Verscend Holding's, Parent's or Merger Sub's receipt of financing.

        (c)   Parent shall cause Verscend Holding to take the actions and comply with the obligation of Verscend Holding set forth in this Agreement and to comply with all of the obligations contemplated by the Debt Financing (and under the Debt Commitment Letter) and the Preferred Equity Financing (and under the Preferred Equity Financing Documents).

64

        (e)   Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, but subject to (x) the indemnification and reimbursement obligations set forth in Section 7.13(c) and (y) an order of specific performance as and only to the extent expressly permitted by Section 10.02 , the Company's right to terminate this Agreement in accordance with this Article IX and receive from Parent the Parent Termination Fee, if due pursuant to Section 9.03(d) , shall, in the event Parent and Merger Sub fail to effect the Closing or otherwise breach this Agreement or fail to perform hereunder (whether willful, intentional or otherwise), constitute the sole and exclusive remedy of the Company against (i) Parent, (ii) Merger Sub, (iii) any of Parent's and any of its Subsidiaries' (including Merger Sub's) former, current and future Affiliates and (iv) any of their respective assignees, stockholders, general or limited partners, equityholders, members, managers, controlling persons, directors, officers, employees, agents, attorneys, Financing Sources and other Representatives (the Persons described in clause (i), clause (ii), clause (iii) and clause (iv) collectively, the " Parent Parties ") for any breach, loss, claim, liability, cost, fee, expense, judgment, inquiry, fine or damage suffered as a result of the failure of the Transactions to be consummated or for a breach or failure to perform hereunder or otherwise in connection with this Agreement and the Transactions (including the Commitment Letters, but excluding the Confidentiality Agreement (solely subject to the terms therein, as may have been modified by this Agreement from time to time)), and upon payment of (A) the Parent Termination Fee (if payable), plus (B) the reimbursement obligations set forth in Section 7.13(c) , plus (C) such indemnification and reimbursement and interest amounts, if any, referenced in Section 9.03(g) , no Person shall have any rights or claims against the Parent Parties under this Agreement or otherwise, whether at law or equity, in contract in tort or otherwise, and the Parent Parties shall not have any other liability relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the Transaction. Nothing in this Section 9.03(e) shall in any way expand or be deemed or construed to expand the circumstances in which Parent or any other Parent Party may be liable under this Agreement or the Transactions. For the avoidance of doubt, (x) the amounts the Company is entitled to collect, if due, are those specified in clause (A), clause (B), and clause (C), as applicable and are intended to serve as a cap on the maximum aggregate liability of the Parent Parties under this Agreement in the event Parent fails to effect the Closing in accordance with Section 2.01 or otherwise breaches this Agreement or fails to perform hereunder and under no circumstances shall the Company be entitled to collect, if due, more than the amounts specified in such clauses, and (y) while the Company may pursue both a grant of specific performance of the type contemplated by Section 10.02 and the payment of the Parent Termination Fee pursuant to Section 9.03(d) , as the case may be, under no circumstances shall the Company be permitted or entitled to receive both a grant of specific performance to consummate the Transaction pursuant to Section 10.02 and monetary damages, including all or any portion of the Parent Termination Fee.

        (f)    Each of the Company, Parent and Merger Sub acknowledge and agree that the agreements contained in Section 9.02 and Section 9.03 are an integral part of the Transactions, and that, without these agreements, neither Parent nor Merger Sub nor the Company would enter into this Agreement. The Company, Parent and Merger Sub acknowledge and agree that neither the Company Termination Fee nor the Parent Termination Fee is a penalty, but rather is liquidated damages in a reasonable amount that will compensate Parent and Merger Sub, on the one hand, and the Company, on the other hand, in the circumstances in which such fee is payable for the efforts and resources expended and opportunities foregone while negotiating this Agreement and in reliance on this Agreement and on the expectation of the consummation of the Merger, which amount would otherwise be impossible to calculate with precision. The parties hereto acknowledge and hereby agree that in no event shall (x) the Company be required to pay the Company Termination Fee or any other amounts due under Section 9.03(g) on more than one occasion or (y) Parent be required to pay the Parent Termination Fee or any of the reimbursement, interest or other amounts due under Section 7.13(c) and Section 9.03(g) on more than one occasion.

65

        (g)   Any amounts payable pursuant to Section 9.03(a) , Section 9.03(b) , Section 9.03(d) or this Section 9.03(g) shall be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds in accordance with this Section 9.03 to an account designated by Parent or the Company, as applicable (at least two (2) Business Days prior to the date such fee is to be paid). If the Company or Parent, as applicable, fails to pay when due any amount payable under Section 9.03(a) , Section 9.03(b) or Section 9.03(d) , as applicable, and in order to collect such amount, Parent or the Company, as applicable, commences a suit that results in a judgment against the Company for the Company Termination Fee or Parent for the Parent Termination Fee, as applicable, then such party shall (x) reimburse the other for all reasonable, documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including fees and disbursements of counsel) incurred in connection with such suit and (y) pay interest on the applicable reimbursement or fee to the other party at the prime lending rate prevailing during such period as published in The Wall Street Journal, Eastern Edition, calculated on a daily basis from the date such amounts were required to be paid pursuant to the terms of this Agreement to the date of actual payment.

(addressee's local time) or on any day that is not a Business Day shall be deemed to have been received at 9:00 A.M. (addressee's local time) on the next Business Day.

         Section 10.02    Remedies Cumulative; Specific Performance .    

        (a)   The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur, and that the parties would not have any adequate remedy at law, in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached (including, subject to Section 10.02(b) , failing to take such actions as are required of it hereunder to consummate the Transactions). It is accordingly agreed that the parties shall be, subject to Section 10.02(b) (including the limitations therein), entitled to an injunction or injunctions, specific performance and other equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to specifically enforce the terms and provisions of this Agreement, without proof of actual damages or otherwise, in addition to any other remedy to which any party is entitled at law or in equity. Subject to the terms of Section 10.02(b) , each party agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief on the basis that any other party has an adequate remedy at law or that any award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or in equity. Any party seeking an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with any such order or injunction. The parties further agree not to assert that a remedy of specific enforcement is unenforceable, invalid, contrary to law or inequitable for any reason, nor to assert that a remedy of monetary damages would provide an adequate remedy. To the extent any party hereto brings an action, suit or proceeding to enforce specifically the performance of the terms and provisions of this Agreement (other than an action to enforce specifically any provision that expressly survives termination of this Agreement), the End Date shall automatically be extended to (i) the twentieth (20 ^th ) Business Day following the resolution of such action, suit or proceeding or (ii) such other time period established by the court presiding over such action, suit or proceeding (it being understood that this Section 10.02 is not intended and shall not be construed to limit in any way the provisions of Section 9.03(c) or Section 9.03(e) .

        (b)   Notwithstanding Section 10.02(a) or anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Company shall be entitled to an injunction or specific performance, prior to the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Article IX , of Parent's obligation to cause the Equity Financing to be funded and thereafter to cause the Closing to occur if, and only if: (i) all of the conditions set forth in Section 8.01 and Section 8.02 have been satisfied or waived in accordance with this Agreement (other than those conditions that by their terms are to be satisfied at the Closing, but provided that such conditions are capable of being satisfied if the Closing were to occur on such date and the date on

67

which the Closing would occur if the remedy herein were granted), (ii) the Preferred Equity Financing and the Debt Financing (including any alternative financing that has been obtained in accordance with Section 7.13 ) has been funded in accordance with the terms thereof, or are capable of being funded in accordance with the terms thereof at the Closing upon delivery of a drawdown notice by Parent or notice from Parent that the Equity Financing will be funded at the Closing, (iii) Parent and Merger Sub are required to consummate the Transactions in accordance with Section 2.01 and (iv) the Company has irrevocably confirmed to Parent in writing that it is ready, willing and able to consummate the Closing and if such specific performance is granted pursuant to this Section 10.02 and if the Equity Financing, Preferred Equity Financing and Debt Financing are funded, then the Closing would occur.

         Section 10.03    No Survival of Representations and Warranties.     The representations and warranties and covenants and agreements (to the extent such covenant or agreement contemplates or requires performance prior to the Closing) in this Agreement and in any certificate or other writing delivered pursuant hereto by any Person shall terminate at the Effective Time, except that this Section 10.03 shall not limit any covenant or agreement of the parties which by its terms contemplates performance in whole or in part after the Effective Time.

         Section 10.04    Amendments and Waivers     

        (a)   Any provision of this Agreement may be amended or waived prior to the Effective Time if, but only if, such amendment or waiver is in writing and is signed, in the case of an amendment, by each party to this Agreement or, in the case of a waiver, by each party against whom the waiver is to be effective; provided , however , that no amendment or waiver shall be made subsequent to receipt of the Required Company Stockholder Approval which requires further approval of the stockholders of the Company pursuant to the DGCL or the organizational documents of the Company without such further stockholder approval; provided , further , that notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, this Section 10.04 , and Section 10.06 , Section 10.07 , Section 10.08 , Section 10.09 and Section 10.13 (and any related definitions to the extent a modification, waiver or termination of such definitions would modify the substance of any of the foregoing provisions) may not be modified, waived or terminated in a manner that is adverse in any material respect to the Financing Sources without the prior written consent of the Financing Sources party to the Preferred Equity Commitment Letter and the Debt Commitment Letter.

        (b)   No failure or delay by any party in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies herein provided shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by Applicable Law.

         Section 10.05    Disclosure Letter References.     The parties hereto agree that any reference in a particular Section of the Company Disclosure Letter or Parent Disclosure Letter, as the case may be, shall only be deemed to be an exception to (or, as applicable, a disclosure for purposes of) (a) the representations and warranties (or covenants, as applicable) of the relevant party that are contained in the corresponding Section of this Agreement and (b) any other representations and warranties (or covenant, as applicable) of such party that are contained in this Agreement, but only if the relevance of that reference as an exception to (or a disclosure for purposes of) such representations and warranties (or covenant, as applicable) would be reasonably apparent on the face of such disclosure that such disclosure is applicable to such other representations and warranties (or covenant, as applicable) notwithstanding the omission of a reference or cross reference thereto. The listing of any information on a party's Disclosure Letter shall not be deemed to constitute an admission or acknowledgment, in and of itself, solely by virtue of the inclusion of such information or any similar information in such Disclosure Letter, by such party, or to otherwise imply, that such information or any similar information is material, is required to be disclosed by such party under this Agreement or falls within relevant minimum thresholds or materiality standards set forth in this Agreement. No disclosure in a

68

party's Disclosure Letter relating to any possible breach or violation by such party of any Contract or Applicable Law shall be construed as an admission or indication that any such breach or violation exists or has actually occurred. In no event shall the listing of any matter in a party's Disclosure Letter be deemed or interpreted to expand the scope of such party's representations, warranties and/or covenants set forth in this Agreement.

         Section 10.06    Binding Effect; Benefit; Assignment.     

        (a)   This Agreement shall be binding upon, inure solely to the benefit of and be enforceable by each party hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person any right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement; provided , however , that, notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the past, present and future officers, directors and employees of the Acquired Companies (and their successors and heirs) are intended third-party beneficiaries of, and may enforce, Section 7.04 applicable to such Persons and (ii) from and after the Effective Time, the holders of shares of Company Common Stock and holders of Company Compensatory Awards shall be intended third-party beneficiaries of, and may enforce, the rights of such Persons to receive the applicable Merger Consideration, Option Consideration and RS/RSU Consideration, as applicable, pursuant to and in accordance with Article III ; (iii) the Company Parties and Parent Parties are intended third-party beneficiaries with respect to Section 9.03 ; and (iv) the Financing Sources are hereby made express third-party beneficiaries of, and shall be entitled to rely on this Section 10.06 and Section 10.04 , Section 10.07 , Section 10.08 , Section 10.09 and Section 10.13 .

        (b)   Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder shall be assigned by any of the parties hereto by operation of Applicable Law or otherwise without the prior written consent of the other parties, except that Merger Sub (or, after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation) may assign any or all of its rights, interests and obligations hereunder to one or more direct or indirect wholly owned Subsidiaries of Parent, or a combination thereof, and Parent shall have the right, without the prior written consent of the Company, to assign all or any portion of its rights, interests and obligations hereunder to Verscend Holding or one or more Subsidiaries of Verscend Holding, provided that such assignment would not materially delay, impair or prevent consummation of the Merger and shall not relieve Parent or Merger Sub (or, after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation) of its obligations hereunder. Any purported assignment in violation of this Section 10.06(b) shall be null and void.

        (c)   Notwithstanding the foregoing, Parent or Merger Sub may assign any or all of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without prior written consent to any Financing Source ( provided that any such assignment shall not relieve Parent or Merger Sub of its obligations hereunder) pursuant to the terms of the Financing (or any credit agreements, loan documents or indentures of Parent or Merger Sub or their Affiliates) for purposes of creating a security interest herein or otherwise assigning collateral in respect of the Financing.

         Section 10.07    Governing Law.     This Agreement and all Proceedings (whether based on contract, tort or otherwise) arising out of, or related to this Agreement, the Transactions, or the actions of Parent, Merger Sub or the Company in the negotiation, administration, performance and enforcement thereof, shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the Laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to principles or rules of conflict of laws to the extent such principles or rules would require or permit the application of Laws of another jurisdiction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each party hereto agrees that any Proceeding of any kind or description, whether in law or in equity, in contract, tort or otherwise, against the Financing Sources in any way relating to this Agreement or any of the Transactions, including any dispute arising out of or relating in any way to any Debt Commitment Letter or Preferred Equity Commitment Letter, shall be governed by, and construed in

69

EACH PARTY CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (I) NO

This Agreement shall become effective when each party hereto shall have received a counterpart hereof signed by all of the other parties here to. Until and unless each party has received a counterpart hereof signed by the other parties hereto, this Agreement shall have no effect and no party shall have any right or obligation hereunder (whether by virtue of any other oral or written agreement or other communication).

71

thereby (including any action relating to the Financing, the Debt Commitment Letter or the Preferred Equity Commitment Letter). In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing waiver, it is agreed that no Financing Source shall have any liability for any claims, losses, settlements, liabilities, damages, costs, expenses, fines or penalties to the Company or any of its Affiliates and its or their respective Representatives in connection with this Agreement or the Transactions. This Section 10.13 is intended to benefit and may be enforced by the Financing Sources and shall be binding on all successors and assigns of the Company.
