SECTION 2.02.            Exchange of Certificates; Book-Entry Shares .  (a)  Exchange Agent .  Prior to the Mailing Date, Parent shall appoint a bank or trust company reasonably acceptable to the Company to act as exchange agent (the “ Exchange Agent ”) for the payment of the Merger Consideration.  At or prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall deposit with the Exchange Agent, for the benefit of the holders of Company Common Stock, for exchange in accordance with this Article II through the Exchange Agent, (i) the aggregate number of Parent Common Shares to be issued pursuant to Section 2.01(c) and (ii) an amount of cash representing

4

the aggregate amount of cash payable pursuant to 2.01(c). In addition, Parent shall deposit from time to time as needed, cash sufficient to make payments in lieu of fractional shares pursuant to Section 2.02(f).  All such Parent Common Shares and cash deposited with the Exchange Agent is hereinafter referred to as the “ Exchange Fund ”.

(b)           Letter of Transmittal .  As promptly as practicable after the Effective Time, and in any event not later than the third Business Day thereafter, Parent shall cause the Exchange Agent to mail to each holder of record of Company Common Stock (other than Excluded Shares) a form of letter of transmittal (the “ Letter of Transmittal ”) (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to any Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of such Certificates to the Exchange Agent and shall be in such form and have such other provisions (including customary provisions with respect to delivery of an “agent’s message” with respect to shares held in book-entry form) as Parent may specify subject to the Company’s reasonable approval), together with instructions thereto.

(c)           Merger Consideration Received in Connection with Exchange .  Upon (i) in the case of shares of Company Common Stock represented by a Certificate, the surrender of such Certificate for cancellation to the Exchange Agent, or (ii) in the case of shares of Company Common Stock held in book-entry form, the receipt of an “agent’s message” by the Exchange Agent, in each case together with the associated Letter of Transmittal, duly, completely and validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto, and such other documents as may reasonably be required by the Exchange Agent, the holder of such shares shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor (i)  that number of whole Parent Common Shares that such holder is entitled to receive pursuant to Section 2.01(c) and/or (ii) an amount of immediately available funds equal to (x) the cash amount that such holder is entitled to receive pursuant to Section 2.01(c) plus (y) any cash in lieu of fractional shares which the holder has the right to receive pursuant to 2.02(f) plus (z) any dividends or other distributions which the holder has the right to receive pursuant to Section 2.02(d).  In the event of a transfer of ownership of Company Common Stock which is not registered in the transfer records of the Company, a certificate representing the proper number of Parent Common Shares pursuant to Section 2.01(c), together with a check in the amount equal to any cash payable pursuant to Section 2.01(c) and any cash in lieu of fractional shares which the holder has the right to receive pursuant to Section 2.02(f) and any dividends or other distributions which the holder has the right to receive pursuant to Section 2.02(d) may be issued and/or paid to a transferee if the Certificate representing such Company Common Stock (or, if such Company Common Stock is held in book-entry form, proper evidence of such transfer) is presented to the Exchange Agent, accompanied by all documents required to evidence and effect such transfer and by evidence that any applicable stock transfer Taxes have been paid. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 2.02(c), each share of Company Common Stock, and any Certificate with respect thereto shall be deemed at any time from and after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive upon such surrender the Merger Consideration which the holders of shares of Company Common Stock were entitled to receive in respect of such shares pursuant to Section 2.01 (and cash in lieu of fractional shares pursuant to Section 2.02(f) and any dividends or other distributions pursuant to Section 2.02(d)).

(d)           Treatment of Unexchanged Shares .  No dividends or other distributions declared or made with respect to Parent Common Shares with a record date after the Effective Time shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Certificate (or shares of Company Common Stock held in book-entry form) with respect to the number of Parent Common Shares issuable upon surrender thereof, and no cash payment in lieu of fractional shares shall be paid to any such holder pursuant to Section 2.02(f), until the surrender of such Certificate (or such shares of Company Common Stock held in book-entry form) in accordance with this Article II.  Subject to escheat, Tax or other applicable Law, following surrender of any such Certificate (or shares of Company Common Stock held in book-entry form), there shall be paid to the holder of the certificate representing whole Parent Common Shares issued in exchange therefor, without interest, (i) at the time of such surrender, the amount of any cash payable in lieu of a fractional Parent Common Share to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 2.02(f) and the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time theretofore paid with respect to such whole Parent Common Shares and (ii) at the appropriate payment date, the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time but prior to such surrender and a payment date subsequent to such surrender payable with respect to such whole Parent Common Shares.

(e)           No Further Ownership Rights in Company Common Stock .  The Merger Consideration, any dividends or other distributions payable pursuant to Section 2.02(d) and cash in lieu of any fractional shares payable pursuant to Section 2.02(f) paid upon the surrender of Certificates (or shares of Company Common Stock held in book-entry form) in accordance with the terms of this Article II shall be deemed to have been issued and paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to the shares of Company Common Stock formerly represented by such Certificates (or shares of Company Common Stock held in book-entry form).  From and after the Effective Time, there shall be no further registration of transfers on the stock transfer books of the Surviving Corporation of shares of Company Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time.  If, after the Effective Time, any Certificates formerly representing shares of Company Common Stock (or shares of Company Common Stock held in book-entry form) are presented to Parent or the Exchange Agent for any reason, they shall be canceled and exchanged as provided in this Article II.

(f)            No Fractional Shares .  No certificates or scrip representing fractional Parent Common Shares shall be issued upon the conversion of Company Common Stock pursuant to Section 2.01, and such fractional share interests shall not entitle the owner thereof to vote or to any rights of a holder of Parent Common Shares.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, each holder of shares of Company Common Stock converted pursuant to the Merger who, based on the Share Consideration or Mixed Share Consideration, as applicable, would have been entitled to receive a fraction of a Parent Common Share (after taking into account all shares of Company Common Stock exchanged by such holder, including shares that are the subject of valid affidavits of loss thereof) shall receive, in lieu thereof, cash (without interest) in an amount equal to such fractional amount multiplied by the closing sale price for Parent Common Shares on the New York Stock Exchange (the “ NYSE ”) (as reported in The Wall Street Journal or, if not reported therein, in another authoritative source mutually selected by Parent and the Company) for the trading day immediately preceding the date of the Effective Time.

6

(g)           Termination of Exchange Fund .  Any portion of the Exchange Fund (including any interest received with respect thereto) that remains undistributed to the holders of Company Common Stock for one year after the Effective Time shall be delivered to Parent, upon demand, and any holder of Company Common Stock (other than Excluded Shares) who has not theretofore complied with this Article II shall thereafter look only to Parent for payment of its claim for Merger Consideration, any cash in lieu of fractional shares and any dividends and distributions to which such holder is entitled pursuant to this Article II.

(h)           No Liability .  None of the Company, Parent, Merger Sub or the Exchange Agent shall be liable to any Person in respect of any portion of the Exchange Fund delivered to a public official in compliance with any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law.  Any portion of the Exchange Fund which remains undistributed to the holders of Company Common Stock immediately prior to such date on which the Exchange Fund otherwise would be required to escheat to, or become the property of, any Governmental Entity, shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, become the property of Parent, free and clear of all claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.

(i)            Investment of Exchange Fund .  The Exchange Agent shall invest any cash in the Exchange Fund as directed by Parent.  Any interest and other income resulting from such investments shall be paid to Parent. Parent shall or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to promptly replace or restore the cash in the Exchange Fund so as to ensure that the Exchange Fund is at all times maintained at a level sufficient for the Exchange Agent to make all payments of Merger Consideration in accordance herewith. No investment losses resulting from investment of the funds deposited with the Exchange Agent shall diminish the rights of any holder of shares of Company Common Stock to receive the Merger Consideration as provided herein.

(j)            Withholding Rights .  Each of Parent and the Exchange Agent (without duplication) shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable to any holder of Company Common Stock pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as may be required to be deducted and withheld with respect to the making of such payment under the Code, or any other applicable state, local or non-U.S. Tax Law.  To the extent that amounts are so withheld and remitted to the applicable Governmental Entity by Parent and the Exchange Agent, as the case may be, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of Company Common Stock in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.

(k)           Lost Certificates .  If 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 by Parent, the posting by such Person of a bond, in such reasonable and customary amount as Parent may direct, as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, the Exchange Agent shall issue, in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate, the Merger Consideration, any cash in lieu of fractional shares and any dividends and distributions on the Certificate deliverable in respect thereof pursuant to this Article II.

SECTION 2.03.          Dissenters’ Rights .  No Dissenting Stockholder shall be entitled to receive shares of Parent Common Shares or cash or any dividends or other distributions

7

pursuant to the provisions of this Article I I unless and until the holder thereof shall have failed to perfect or shall have effectively withdrawn or lost such holder’s right to dissent from the Merger under the DGCL, and any Dissenting Stockholder shall be entitled to receive only the payment provided by Section 262 of the DGCL with respect to shares of Company Common Stock owned by such Dissenting Stockholder.  If any Person who otherwise would be deemed a Dissenting Stockholder shall have failed to properly perfect or shall have effectively withdrawn or lost the right to dissent under Section 262 of the DGCL or if a court of competent jurisdiction shall finally determine that the Dissenting Stockholder is not entitled to relief provided by Section 262 of the DGCL with respect to any shares of Company Common Stock, such shares of Company Common Stock shall thereupon be treated as though such shares had been converted, as of the Effective Time, into the right to receive the Merger Consideration without interest and less any required Tax withholding.  For purposes of Section 2.01(c), such shares of Company Common Stock shall be deemed Non-Election Shares and shall be entitled to receive the Mixed Consideration.  The Company shall give Parent (i) prompt written notice of any written demands for appraisal, attempted withdrawals of such demands, and any other instruments served pursuant to applicable Law received by the Company relating to stockholders’ rights of appraisal, and (ii) the opportunity to direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to demands for appraisal.  The Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of Parent, voluntarily make any payment with respect to any demands for appraisal, offer to settle or settle any such demands or approve any withdrawal of any such demands.

SECTION 2.04.          Election Procedures .  (a)      Each Person who, at or prior to the Election Deadline, is a record holder of shares of Company Common Stock (which, for purposes of this Section 2.04, shall include the holders of all Cash-Out RSUs) shall have the right, subject to the limitations set forth in this Article II, to submit an election on or prior to the Election Deadline in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 2.04.

(b)           At the time of the mailing of the Proxy Statement to holders of record of shares of Company Common Stock entitled to vote at the Company Stockholders Meeting (the “ Mailing Date ”), the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to mail an election form and other appropriate and customary transmittal materials (which, in the case of shares of Company Common Stock represented by Certificates, shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the shares of Company Common Stock represented by such Certificates shall pass, only upon proper delivery of such Certificates to the Exchange Agent, upon adherence to the procedure set forth in the Letter of Transmittal, and shall be in such form and have such other provisions as Parent and the Company may reasonably agree) (the “ Election Form ”) to each holder of record of shares of Company Common Stock as of the record date for the Company Stockholders Meeting.  Holders of record of Company Common Stock who hold such Company Common Stock as nominees, trustee or in other representative capacities may, through proper instructions and documentation, submit a separate Election Form on or before the Election Deadline with respect to each beneficial owner for whom such nominee, trustee or representative holds such Company Common Stock.

(c)           Each Election Form shall permit each Person who, at or prior to the Election Deadline, is a record holder (or, in the case of nominee record holders, the beneficial owner, through proper instructions and documentation) of shares of Company Common Stock, other than any Dissenting Stockholder, to specify (i) the number of shares of Company Common

8

Stock with respect to which such holder makes a Share Election, (ii) the number of shares of Company Common Stock with respect to which such holder makes a Mixed Election, and (iii) the number of shares of Company Common Stock with respect to which such holder makes a Cash Election.

(d)           Any shares of Common Stock with respect to which the Exchange Agent has not received an effective, properly completed Election Form at or before 5:00 p.m., New York time, on the Business Day that is one (1) Business Day immediately preceding the date of the Company Stockholders Meeting (or such other date as may be mutually agreed by Parent and the Company) (the “ Election Deadline ”), shall be deemed to be Non-Election Shares.  If the Company Stockholders Meeting is delayed to a subsequent date, the Election Deadline shall be similarly delayed to a subsequent date, and the Company shall promptly announce any such delay and, when determined, the rescheduled Election Deadline.  For the avoidance of doubt, any Non-Election Shares will receive the Mixed Consideration.

(e)           Parent shall direct the Exchange Agent to make Election Forms available as may be reasonably requested from time to time by all Persons who become holders of record of Company Common Stock between the record date for the Company Stockholders Meeting and the Election Deadline, and the Company shall provide to the Exchange Agent all information reasonably necessary for the Exchange Agent to perform as specified in this Agreement and as specified in any agreement between Parent and/or the Company and the Exchange Agent.

(f)            Any election shall have been properly made only if the Exchange Agent shall have actually received a properly completed Election Form by the Election Deadline.  After a Share Election, Mixed Election or Cash Election is validly made with respect to any shares of Company Common Stock, any subsequent transfer of such shares of Company Common Stock shall automatically revoke such election.  Any Election Form may be revoked or changed by the Person submitting such Election Form, by written notice of such revocation 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-Election Shares, except to the extent a subsequent election is properly made and not revoked with respect to any or all of such shares of Company Common Stock prior to the Election Deadline.  Any termination of this Agreement in accordance with Article VIII shall result in the revocation of all Election Forms delivered to the Exchange Agent on or prior to the date of such termination.

(g)           Subject to the terms of this Agreement and of the Election Form, the Exchange Agent shall have reasonable discretion to determine whether any election or revocation has been properly or timely made and to disregard immaterial defects in any submitted Election Form.  Any good faith determinations of the Exchange Agent (or, in the event that the Exchange Agent declines to make any such determination, the joint determination of Parent and the Company) regarding such matters shall be binding and conclusive.  None of Parent, the Company or the Exchange Agent shall be under any obligation to notify any Person of any defect in an Election Form.  The Exchange Agent (or, in the event the Exchange Agent declines to make such computations, Parent and the Company jointly) shall also make all computations contemplated by Sections 2.01(c), 2.02(f) and 2.05 hereof, and absent manifest

9

error such computations shall be conclusive and binding on Parent, the Company and all holders of Company Common Stock.

(h)           The Company and Parent shall have the right to make rules, not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement, governing the validity and effectiveness of Election Forms and Letters of Transmittal and the payment of the Merger Consideration.

SECTION 2.05.          Proration .  (a)      Notwithstanding any other provision contained in this Agreement, within three Business Days after the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Exchange Agent to effect the following prorations to the Merger Consideration:

(i)                    If the Cash Election Amount is greater than the Available Cash Election Amount, then each Cash Election Share and Cash Election RSU Share shall, instead of being converted into the Cash Consideration, be converted into the right to receive (A) an amount of cash (without interest) equal to the product of (x) the Cash Consideration multiplied by (y) a fraction, (1) the numerator of which shall be the Available Cash Election Amount and (2) the denominator of which shall be the Cash Election Amount (such fraction, the “ Cash Fraction ”), plus (B) a number of fully paid and nonassessable Parent Common Shares equal to the product of (x) the Share Consideration multiplied by a fraction equal to one minus the Cash Fraction.

(ii)                   If the Available Cash Election Amount is greater than the Cash Election Amount, then each Share Election Share and Share Election RSU Share shall, instead of being converted into the right to receive the Share Consideration, be converted into the right to receive (A) an amount of cash (without interest) equal to the amount of (x) such excess divided by (y) the number of Share Election Shares and Share Election RSU Shares plus (B) a number of fully paid and nonasssessable Parent Common Shares equal to the product of (x) the Share Consideration multiplied by (y) a fraction, (1) the numerator of which shall be the difference between (I) the Cash Consideration minus (II) the amount calculated in clause (A) of this paragraph, and (2) the denominator of which shall be the Cash Consideration.

ARTICLE III

Representations and Warranties of Parent and Merger Sub

Parent and Merger Sub jointly and severally represent and warrant to the Company that the statements contained in this Article III are true and correct except as set forth in the Parent SEC Documents filed and publicly available prior to the date of this Agreement (the “ Filed Parent SEC Documents ”) (excluding any disclosures in the Filed Parent SEC Documents under the heading “Risk Factors” (other than any statements of historical fact) and any other disclosures of risks that are predictive or forward-looking in nature) or in the disclosure letter delivered by Parent to the Company at or before the execution and delivery by Parent and Merger Sub of this Agreement (the “ Parent Disclosure Letter ”).  The Parent Disclosure Letter shall be arranged in numbered and lettered sections corresponding to the numbered and lettered

consents to service of process in the State of Delaware and shall have no effect for any purpose except as provided in this paragraph and shall not be deemed to confer rights on any Person other than the parties hereto.  Each party hereto agrees that service of process upon such party in any Action arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be effective if notice is given by Federal Express, UPS, DHL or similar courier service to the address set forth in Section 9.02 of this Agreement.  The parties hereto agree that a final judgment in any such Action shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by applicable Law; provided , however , that nothing in the foregoing shall restrict any party’s rights to seek any post-judgment relief regarding, or any appeal from, a final trial court judgment.

(c)           Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, each of the parties hereto agrees that it will not bring, or permit any of its Affiliates to bring, any suit, action or other proceeding of any kind or description, whether in law or in equity, whether in contract or in tort or otherwise, against any Commitment Party or any Financing Source arising out of or relating to (x) the Debt Financing or (y) this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in any forum other than a court of competent jurisdiction located within Borough of Manhattan in the City of New York, New York, whether a state or federal court, and each of the parties hereto agrees that the waiver of jury trial set forth in Section 9.11 shall be applicable to any such suit, action or other proceeding.

SECTION 9.09.            Assignment .  Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder shall be assigned, in whole or in part, by operation of Law or otherwise, by any of the parties hereto without the prior written consent of the other parties hereto, except that Parent may assign, in its sole discretion, all of the rights, interests and obligations of Parent under this Agreement to (i) any wholly owned Subsidiary of Parent or (ii) pursuant to a collateral assignment of all of its rights hereunder to any of its financing sources, but, in each case, no such assignment shall relieve Parent of its obligations under this Agreement.  No assignment by any party shall relieve such party of any of its obligations hereunder.  Subject to the immediately preceding two sentences, this Agreement shall be binding upon, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.  Any purported assignment not permitted under this Section 9.09 shall be null and void.

SECTION 9.10.            Specific Enforcement .  The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage for which monetary relief, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy, would occur in the event that any provision of this Agreement is not performed in accordance with its specific terms or is otherwise breached, including if the parties hereto fail to take any action required of them hereunder to consummate this Agreement, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby.  Subject to the following sentence, the parties acknowledge and agree that (a) the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions, specific performance or other equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof in the courts described in Section 9.08(b) without proof of damages or otherwise, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled under this Agreement and (b) the right of specific enforcement is an integral part of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby and without that right neither the Company nor Parent would have entered into this Agreement.  The parties hereto agree not to assert that a remedy of specific enforcement is unenforceable, invalid or contrary to Law, and not

82

to assert that a remedy of monetary damages would provide an adequate remedy or that the parties otherwise have an adequate remedy at law.  The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that any party seeking an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in accordance with this Section 9.10 shall not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with any such order or injunction.

SECTION 9.11.            WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL .  EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE IT HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY OF THE AGREEMENTS DELIVERED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY.  EACH PARTY CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (A) NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER, (B) IT UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF SUCH WAIVER, (C) IT MAKES SUCH WAIVER VOLUNTARILY AND (D) IT HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVER AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 9.11.

SECTION 9.12.            No Recourse to Financing Sources .  Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Company (i) agrees on its behalf and on behalf of its Affiliates that none of the Commitment Parties nor the Financing Sources shall have any liability or obligation to the Company and their respective Affiliates relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including the Debt Financing), (ii) waives any rights or claims against any Commitment Party or any Financing Source in connection with this Agreement (including any of the transactions contemplated hereby) and the Debt Financing, whether at law or equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise and (iii) agrees not to, and shall not, (A) seek to enforce this Agreement against, make any claims for breach of this Agreement, or seek to recover monetary damages (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any special, consequential, punitive, indirect, speculative or exemplary damages or damages of a tortious nature) from, any Commitment Party or any Financing Source or (B) seek to enforce the commitment in respect of any Debt Financing against, make any claims for breach of commitments in respect of any Debt Financing against, or seek to recover monetary damages (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any special, consequential, punitive, indirect, speculative or exemplary damages or damages of a tortious nature) from, or otherwise sue, any Commitment Party or any Financing Source for any reason in connection with commitments in respect of any Debt Financing or the obligations of the Commitment Parties and the Financing Sources thereunder, this Agreement, or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or Debt Financing.
