ARTICLE I

The Merger

1.1 The Merger . On the terms and subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in this Agreement, and in accordance with California Law, at the Effective Time, Merger Sub shall be merged with and into the Company, whereupon the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub will cease, with the Company continuing as the surviving corporation (the Company, as the surviving corporation in the Merger, sometimes being referred to herein as the “ Surviving Corporation ”), such that immediately following the Merger, the Surviving Corporation will be a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent. The Merger shall have the effect provided in this Agreement and as specified in the California Law.

1.2 Closing . Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, the closing of the Merger (the “ Closing ”) will take place at 10:00 a.m., California time, as soon as practicable (and, in any event, within two Business Days) after satisfaction or, to the extent permitted hereunder, waiver of all conditions set forth in Article VIII (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or, to the extent permitted hereunder, waiver of all such conditions), unless this Agreement has been terminated pursuant to Article IX hereof or unless another time or date is agreed to in writing by the Parties hereto. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Parent and Merger Sub, at their sole discretion, shall not be required to conduct the Closing during the last 14 days of any fiscal quarter of Parent. The Closing shall be held at the offices of DLA Piper LLP (US), 2000 University Ave, Palo Alto, California, 94303, unless another place is agreed to in writing by the Parties hereto, and the actual date of the Closing is hereinafter referred to as the “ Closing Date .”

1.3 Effective Time . On the Closing Date, the Parties shall (a) cause an agreement of merger satisfying the applicable requirements of the California Law and otherwise in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit A , but subject to any changes as may be required by the Secretary of State of the State of California and agreed to by Parent and the Company (the “ Agreement of Merger ”) to be duly executed by the Company and Merger Sub and filed with the Secretary of State of the State of California as soon as practicable on the Closing Date, together with the officer’s certificate required by the California Law, and (b) make any other filings, recordings or publications required to be made by the Company or Merger Sub under the California Law in connection with the Merger. The Merger shall become effective at such time as the Agreement of Merger is duly filed and accepted by the Secretary of State of the

State of California or on such later date and time as shall be agreed to by the Company and Parent and specified in the Agreement of Merger (such date and time being hereinafter referred to as the “ Effective Time ”).

1.4 Effects of the Merger . The Merger shall have the effects set forth herein and in the applicable provisions of the California Law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and subject thereto, from and after the Effective Time, all property, rights, privileges, immunities, powers, franchises, licenses and authority of the Company and Merger Sub shall vest in the Surviving Corporation, and all debts, liabilities, obligations, restrictions and duties of each of the Company and Merger Sub shall become the debts, liabilities, obligations, restrictions and duties of the Surviving Corporation.

1.5 Governing Documents . The Company Articles shall, by virtue of the Merger, be amended and restated so as to read in its entirety in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B and, as so amended and restated, shall be the articles of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter changed or amended as provided therein or by applicable Legal Requirement. The Company Bylaws shall, by virtue of the Merger, be amended and restated to conform to the bylaws of Merger Sub, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, and as such shall be the bylaws of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter changed or amended as provided therein or by applicable Legal Requirement.

1.6 Directors and Officers of the Surviving Corporation . The Parties shall take all actions necessary so that (a) the directors of Merger Sub at the Effective Time shall, from and after the Effective Time, be the directors of the Surviving Corporation until their successors shall have been duly elected or appointed and qualified or until their earlier death, resignation or removal in accordance with the articles of incorporation and bylaws of the Surviving Corporation, and (b) the officers of Merger Sub at the Effective Time shall, from and after the Effective Time, be the officers of the Surviving Corporation until their successors shall have been duly elected or appointed and qualified or until their earlier death, resignation or removal in accordance with the articles of incorporation and bylaws of the Surviving Corporation.

ARTICLE II

Effect of Merger on Company Securities

2.1 Effect on Capital Stock .

(a) Merger Consideration . At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the Parties or holders of any securities of the Parties, subject to Section 2.1(d), each share of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (excluding Company Shares to be cancelled in accordance with Section 2.1(b) and any Dissenting Shares) shall be automatically converted into the right to receive $7.05 in cash, without interest (the “ Merger Consideration ”). From and after the Effective Time, all such Company Shares shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled and shall cease to exist, and each applicable holder of such Company Shares shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the Merger Consideration therefor upon the surrender of such Company Shares in accordance with Section 2.2.

(b) Cancellation of Company Common Stock . At the Effective Time, all Company Shares owned by the Company, Parent, Merger Sub or by any of their respective direct or indirect wholly owned Subsidiaries shall be cancelled and shall cease to exist, and no consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor.

(c) Treatment of Merger Sub Common Stock . At the Effective Time, each issued and outstanding share of common stock, without par value per share, of Merger Sub shall be automatically converted into and become one fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock of the Surviving Corporation and shall constitute the only outstanding shares of capital stock of the Surviving Corporation.

(d) Adjustment to Merger Consideration . The Merger Consideration shall be adjusted appropriately, without duplication, to reflect the effect of any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend (including any dividend or distribution of securities convertible into Company Common Stock), reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, combination, exchange of shares or other like change with respect to the shares of Company Common Stock outstanding after the date hereof and prior to the Effective Time so as to provide Parent and the holder of Company Shares the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such event; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 2.1(d) shall be construed to permit the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to take any action with respect to its securities that is prohibited by the terms of this Agreement.

2.2 Payment for Securities; Surrender of Certificates .

(a) Paying Agent Fund . Prior to the Effective Time, Parent or Merger Sub shall designate a bank or trust company reasonably acceptable to the Company to act as the paying agent in connection with the Merger (the “ Paying Agent ”). The Paying Agent shall also act as the agent for the Company’s shareholders for the purpose of receiving and holding their Certificates and Book-Entry Shares and shall obtain no rights or interests in the shares represented thereby. At or prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall deposit, or cause to be deposited, with the Paying Agent cash in immediately available funds in an amount sufficient to pay the aggregate Merger Consideration payable to all holders of Company Common Stock (including Company Common Stock to be issued prior to the Effective Time in accordance with Section 2.4) (such cash amount, the “ Paying Agent Fund ”), in each case, for the sole benefit of the holders of shares of Company Common Stock. In the event the Paying Agent Fund shall be insufficient to pay the aggregate Merger Consideration, Parent shall, or shall cause Merger Sub to, promptly deposit additional funds with the Paying Agent in an amount which is equal to the deficiency in the amount required to make such payment. Parent shall cause the Paying Agent to make, and the Paying Agent shall make, delivery of the Merger Consideration, out of the Paying Agent Fund in accordance with this Agreement.

(b) Procedures for Surrender . Promptly after the Effective Time (and in any event, within three Business Days thereafter), Parent shall, and shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, cause the Paying Agent to mail (and make available for collection by hand) to each holder of record of a certificate or certificates which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding Company Shares (the “ Certificates ”) or non-certificated Company Shares represented by book-entry (“ Book-Entry Shares ”) and whose Company Shares were

converted pursuant to Section 2.1 into the right to receive the Merger Consideration (i) a letter of transmittal, which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of the Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu thereof) to the Paying Agent and shall be in such form and have such other provisions as Parent may reasonably specify and (ii) instructions for effecting the surrender of the Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu thereof) or Book-Entry Shares in exchange for payment of the Merger Consideration payable in respect of such Company Shares pursuant to Section 2.1. Upon surrender of a Certificate (or an affidavit of loss in lieu thereof) or Book-Entry Share for cancellation to the Paying Agent or to such other agent or agents as may be appointed by Parent or the Surviving Corporation, together with such letter of transmittal duly completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto, and such other documents as may be required pursuant to such instructions, the holder of such Certificate or Book-Entry Share shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor the applicable Merger Consideration pursuant to the provisions of this Article II for each Company Share formerly represented by such Certificate or Book-Entry Share. All such amounts shall be mailed (or made available for collection by hand if so elected by the surrendering holder) within three Business Days following the Paying Agent’s receipt of such Certificate (or affidavit of loss in lieu thereof) or Book-Entry Share, letter of transmittal and such other documents, and the Certificate (or affidavit of loss in lieu thereof) or Book-Entry Share so surrendered shall be forthwith cancelled. The Paying Agent shall accept such Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu thereof) or Book-Entry Shares upon compliance with such reasonable terms and conditions as the Paying Agent may impose to effect an orderly exchange thereof in accordance with normal exchange practices. If payment of the Merger Consideration is to be made to a Person other than the Person in whose name the surrendered Certificate is registered, it shall be a condition precedent to payment that (A) the Certificate so surrendered shall be properly endorsed or shall be otherwise in proper form for transfer and (B) the Person requesting such payment shall have paid any transfer and other similar Taxes required by reason of the payment of the Merger Consideration to a Person other than the registered holder of the Certificate surrendered or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Paying Agent that such Tax either has been paid or is not payable. Any other transfer or similar Taxes incurred in connection with the Transactions shall be paid by Parent. Payment of the applicable Merger Consideration with respect to Book-Entry Shares shall only be made to the Person in whose name such Book-Entry Shares are registered. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 2.2, each Certificate and Book-Entry Share shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive the applicable Merger Consideration as contemplated by this Article II, without interest thereon.

(c) Transfer Books; No Further Ownership Rights in Company Shares . At the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed and thereafter there shall be no further registrations of transfers of Company Shares on the records of the Company, other than registrations of transfers to reflect, in accordance with customary settlement procedures, trades effected prior to the Effective Time. From and after the Effective Time, the holders of Certificates outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall cease to have any rights with respect to such Company Shares except as otherwise provided for herein or by applicable Legal Requirement. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates or Book-Entry Shares are presented to the Surviving Corporation for any reason, they shall be cancelled and exchanged as provided in this Agreement.

(d) Termination of Paying Agent Fund; No Liability . At any time following twelve (12) months after the Effective Time, Parent shall be entitled to require the Paying Agent to deliver to it any funds (including any interest received with respect thereto) remaining in the Paying Agent Fund that have not been disbursed, or for which disbursement is pending subject only to the Paying Agent’s routine administrative procedures, to holders of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares, and thereafter such holders shall be entitled to look only to the Surviving Corporation and Parent (subject to abandoned property, escheat or other similar Legal Requirements) as general creditors thereof with respect to the applicable Merger Consideration, payable upon due surrender of their Certificates or Book-Entry Shares and compliance with the procedures in Section 2.2(b), without any interest thereon. Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the Surviving Corporation, Parent or the Paying Agent shall be liable to any holder of a Certificate or Book-Entry Share for any Merger Consideration or other amounts delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Legal Requirement.

(e) Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates . In the event that any Certificates shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, the Paying Agent shall issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificates, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the holder thereof and, if required by Parent or the Paying Agent, the posting by such holder of a bond in such amount as Parent may determine is reasonably necessary as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it or the Surviving Corporation with respect to any such Certificates, the applicable Merger Consideration payable in respect thereof pursuant to Section 2.1 hereof.

2.3 Dissenters’ Rights .

(a) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Company Shares, if any, as to which the holder thereof shall have (i) properly demanded that the Company purchase such Company Shares for fair market value in accordance with, and otherwise complied with, the provisions of Chapter 13 of the California Law (“ Chapter 13 ”) and (ii) not effectively withdrawn or lost such holder’s rights to demand purchase for such Company Shares for fair market value pursuant to Chapter 13 (each, a “ Dissenting Share ”), shall not be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration payable pursuant to Section 2.1, but instead at the Effective Time shall become entitled only to payment of the fair value of such Company Shares determined in accordance with Chapter 13 (it being understood and acknowledged that at the Effective Time, such Dissenting Shares shall no longer be outstanding, shall automatically be cancelled and shall cease to exist, and such holder shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto other than the right to receive the fair value of such Dissenting Shares as determined in accordance with Chapter 13); provided , however , that if any such holder shall fail to perfect or otherwise shall waive, withdraw or lose the right to payment of the fair value of such Dissenting Shares under Chapter 13, then the right of such holder to be paid the fair value of such holder’s Dissenting Shares shall cease and such Dissenting Shares shall be deemed to have been converted as of the Effective Time into, and to have become exchangeable solely for the right to receive, without interest or duplication, the Merger Consideration.

(b) The Company shall give prompt notice to Parent of any demands received by the Company for the purchase of any Company Shares pursuant to Chapter 13, of any withdrawals of such demands and of any other instruments served and received by the Company

under Chapter 13, and Parent shall have the opportunity to participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demands. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall not, without the prior written consent of Parent, make any payment with respect to, or settle or compromise or offer to settle or compromise, any such demand, or agree to do any of the foregoing.

2.4 Treatment of Company Equity Awards .

(a) All options to acquire shares of Company Common Stock (each a “ Company Option ”), restricted stock unit awards with respect to Company Common Stock (each a “ Company RSU Award ”) and other equity awards (collectively, “ Company Equity Awards ”) that were granted under the Company’s stock plans, including the Sigma Designs 2015 Stock Incentive Plan (successor to and continuation of the Sigma Designs 2001 Stock Plan and the Sigma Designs Amended and Restated 2009 Stock Incentive Plan), the CopperGate Communications Ltd. 2003 Share Option Plan or any other equity plan, agreement or arrangement other than the Company ESPP (as defined below) (collectively, the “ Company Stock Plans ”) prior to the Effective Time, which are outstanding as of the Capitalization Date, are set forth in Section 2.4(a) of the Company Disclosure Schedule, together with the holder’s name, the date of grant, the type of award, the number of Company Shares originally granted and number of outstanding shares subject to the Company Equity Award, the vesting schedule, any expiration date, and any per Company Share exercise price or purchase price.

(b) Neither Parent nor the Surviving Corporation will assume any Company Option or substitute for a Company Option any option, unit award, restricted share or other rights to acquire shares of the capital stock of Parent or the Surviving Corporation. Immediately prior to the Effective Time, the vesting of each Company Option then outstanding and held by an employee or other service provider whose employment or service relationship with the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company has not terminated shall be accelerated in full. At the Effective Time, each Company Option that is outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether vested or unvested, shall be cancelled by virtue of the Merger without any action on the part of the holder thereof in consideration for the right to receive a cash payment (the “ Company Option Consideration ”), if any (without interest and less applicable withholding Taxes) with respect thereto equal to the product of (i) the number of vested shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Company Option as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (including as a result of accelerated vesting), and (ii) the excess, if any, of the Merger Consideration over the exercise price per share of Company Common Stock subject to such Company Option as of immediately prior to the Effective Time. For the avoidance of doubt, each Company Stock Option that has an exercise price per share of Company Common Stock subject to such Company Option as of immediately prior to the Effective Time that is equal to or greater than the Merger Consideration shall be cancelled without payment of any consideration therefor. The Surviving Corporation or a Subsidiary thereof shall pay the Company Option Consideration to which a former holder of a Company Option who is an employee or former employee of the Company or such Subsidiary is entitled and for which Tax withholding is required through the employee payroll system of the Company or such Subsidiary no later than its next regularly scheduled payroll date occurring at least five Business Days following the Effective Time. Each such payment of Company Option Consideration to a former holder of a Company Option for

which Tax withholding is not required shall be paid to such holder in cash by the Surviving Corporation or a Subsidiary thereof.

(c) Except as provided by Section 2.4(d), neither Parent nor the Surviving Corporation will assume any Company RSU Award or substitute for a Company RSU Award any option, unit award, restricted share or other rights to acquire shares of the capital stock of Parent or the Surviving Corporation. Except as provided by Section 2.4(d), at the Effective Time, each Company RSU Award that is outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether vested or unvested, shall be cancelled by virtue of the Merger without any action on the part of the holder thereof in consideration for the right to receive a cash payment (the “ Company RSU Consideration ”) with respect thereto (without interest and less applicable withholding Taxes) equal to the product of (i) the number of shares of Company Common Stock remaining subject to and not previously issued in settlement of such Company RSU Award as of immediately prior to the Effective Time and (ii) the Merger Consideration. Payment of the Company RSU Consideration shall be made in pro rata installments in accordance with the time-based vesting schedule to which the shares of Company Common Stock remaining subject to such Company RSU Award were subject immediately prior to the Effective Time, subject to the continued employment or other service relationship of the former holder of such Company RSU on the applicable post-Effective Time vesting date (each, an “ RSU Vesting Date ”); provided that to the extent that any such Company RSU Award constitutes nonqualified deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code, the Company RSU Consideration payable with respect to such Company RSU Award shall be paid in accordance with the applicable Company RSU Award’s terms and conditions at the earliest time permitted under the terms of such award that will not result in the application of a Tax or penalty under Section 409A of the Code. The Surviving Corporation or a Subsidiary thereof shall pay the Company RSU Consideration to which a former holder of a Company RSU Award who is an employee or former employee of the Company or such Subsidiary is entitled and for which Tax withholding is required through the employee payroll system of the Company or such Subsidiary no later than its next regularly scheduled payroll date occurring after each applicable RSU Vesting Date. Each such payment of Company RSU Consideration to a former holder of a Company RSU Award for which Tax withholding is not required shall be paid to such holder in cash by the Surviving Corporation or a Subsidiary thereof as soon as practicable after each applicable RSU Vesting Date.

(d) At the Effective Time, each Company RSU Award that is outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether vested or unvested, and whose holder remains an employee of the Surviving Corporation or a Subsidiary thereof immediately after the Effective Time and is employed in Denmark, Singapore or the United States, shall be cancelled by virtue of the Merger without any action on the part of the holder thereof in consideration for the right to receive from Parent immediately after the Effective Time pursuant to Parent’s 2009 Stock Incentive Plan, as amended and restated as of the Effective Time, a restricted stock unit award issued by Parent for that number of restricted stock units equal to the product of (i) the number of shares of Company Common Stock remaining subject to and not previously issued in settlement of such Company RSU Award as of immediately prior to the Effective Time and (ii) the RSU Exchange Ratio (rounded down to the nearest whole share). Each such restricted stock unit award issued by Parent pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be subject to substantially the same vesting schedule as was applicable under the Company RSU Award cancelled in exchange therefor, including any provision for accelerated vesting.

(e) As of the Effective Time, all Company Stock Plans will be terminated, and no further Company Options, Company RSU Awards or other rights with respect to Company Shares will be granted thereunder.

(f) Promptly following the date of this Agreement, the Company Board (or, if applicable, any committee thereof administering the Sigma Designs 2015 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, as amended (the “ Company ESPP ”)) shall adopt such resolutions or take such other necessary actions to provide that (i) no new Offering or Offering Period (as defined by the Company ESPP) shall be commenced under the Company ESPP after the date of this Agreement; (ii) participation in the Company ESPP shall be limited to those employees who are participants on the date of this Agreement; (iii) no participant in the Company ESPP may increase the percentage amount of his or her payroll deduction election from that in effect under the Company ESPP on the date of this Agreement; (iv) each Offering Period in effect on the date of this Agreement shall terminate effective upon the earlier of the first purchase date following the date of this Agreement and the third trading day occurring before the Effective Time, but subsequent to the exercise of options on such purchase date (in accordance with the terms of the Company ESPP and the limitations under the Company ESPP regarding the maximum number and value of shares of Company Common Stock a participant may purchase in such Offering Period); and (v) immediately prior to, and subject to the occurrence of the Effective Time, the Company ESPP shall terminate.

(g) The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to take all actions necessary to effect the provisions set forth in this Section 2.4, including without limitation any necessary amendments to any Contracts or other instruments and the delivery of all required notice, as applicable. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall send a notice to all holders of outstanding Company Equity Awards, in a form reasonably acceptable to Parent, which notice shall (i) notify such holders of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (ii) describe the treatment of outstanding Company Equity Awards pursuant to this Agreement and (iii) seek the acknowledgement and consent of such holders to the cancellation of outstanding Company Equity Awards as contemplated by this Agreement. Such notification shall not contain any untrue statement of material fact or omit any material statement necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading.

2.5 Withholding . Each of Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall be entitled to deduct and withhold, or cause the Paying Agent to deduct and withhold, from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder of Shares and from any payments under Section 2.4 such amounts as Parent, Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code, or any other applicable state, local or foreign Tax Legal Requirement. To the extent that amounts are so withheld and timely remitted to the appropriate Governmental Entity, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall be required to provide access to or disclose information where such access or disclosure would be reasonably likely to jeopardize the protection of attorney-client privilege, or contravene any Legal Requirement or contractual restraint enforceable upon the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (it being agreed that the Parties shall use their reasonable best efforts to cause such information to be provided in a manner that would not result in such jeopardy or contravention). No investigation shall affect the Company’s representations and warranties contained herein, or limit or otherwise affect the remedies available to Parent or Merger Sub pursuant to this Agreement.

5.4 Notification of Certain Events . From and after the date of this Agreement until the Effective Time, each party hereto shall promptly notify the other party hereto of (a) the occurrence, or non-occurrence, of any event that would be likely to cause any condition to the obligations of any party to effect the Merger, or any other transaction contemplated by this Agreement not to be satisfied or (b) the failure of the Company or Parent, as the case may be, to comply with or satisfy any covenant, condition or agreement to be complied with or satisfied by it pursuant to this Agreement which would reasonably be expected to result in any condition to the obligations of any party to effect the Merger or any other transaction contemplated by this Agreement not to be satisfied; provided, however, that no such notification shall affect or be deemed to modify any representation or warranty of such party set forth herein or the conditions to the obligations of the other party to consummate the Merger, or the remedies available to the parties hereto.

(e) To the extent required, each Party will use its commercially reasonable best efforts to promptly prepare and file, or cause to be promptly prepared and filed, with the appropriate Government Antitrust Entity not later than ten Business Days after the date of this Agreement (unless otherwise mutually agreed among the Parties) any notification with respect to the Transactions that may be required pursuant to the HSR Act in which each requests early termination of the waiting period thereunder. Each Party shall respond, as promptly as reasonably practicable, to all information requests from a Government Antitrust Entity under the HSR Act, and shall reasonably cooperate with the other Parties in responding to any such request. Each Party will furnish to the other (or its outside counsel) such information and

assistance as may be reasonably requested in connection with the foregoing; provided, however, that one Party disclosing information to another may do so on the condition that it be shared only with the receiving Party’s outside counsel who, in turn, agrees to treat such information as confidential and not disclose it to any third-parties without the advance written consent of the party who disclosed the information. Each Party will use its commercially reasonable efforts to resolve favorably any review or consideration of the antitrust aspects of the Transactions by any Government Antitrust Entity with jurisdiction over the enforcement of any applicable Antitrust Legal Requirements. Each of the Parties shall promptly inform the other Parties of any substantive communication to or from the Federal Trade Commission (“ FTC ”), the Antitrust Division of the United States Department of Justice (“ DOJ ”), or any other Governmental Entity regarding the Transactions. Each of the Parties will consult and cooperate with one another in advance, and will consider in good faith the views of one another, in connection with any communication, analysis, appearance, presentation, memorandum, brief, argument, opinion, proposal, or other submission made to a Government Antitrust Entity in connection with any investigation or proceeding conducted under either (i) the HSR Act; or (ii) any foreign competition statute enforced by any Government Antitrust Entity.

(f) In furtherance and not in limitation of the efforts referred to above in this Section 5.5, if any objections are asserted with respect to the Transactions under the HSR Act, or if any Action, suit or proceeding is instituted (or threatened to be instituted) by the FTC, the DOJ or any other Governmental Entity or any third party challenging the Transactions or that would otherwise prohibit or materially impair or materially delay the consummation of the Transactions, each Party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to resolve any such objections or actions, suits or proceedings so as to permit the consummation of the Transactions as expeditiously as possible.

(g) Notwithstanding the foregoing in this Section 5.5, none of Parent or its Affiliates shall be obligated to: (i) offer, negotiate, commit to or effect, by consent decree, hold separate order, trust or otherwise, the sale, divestiture, license or other disposition of any material portion of the capital stock, assets, rights, products or businesses of Parent, the Company, or their respective Subsidiaries or Affiliates; (ii) agree to any material restrictions on the activities of Parent or its Subsidiaries or Affiliates (including, after the Closing, the Company); (iii) waive any material rights; (iv) defend, commence or prosecute any Action; or (v) take any other action to prevent, effect the dissolution of, vacate, or lift any decree, order, judgment, injunction, temporary restraining order, or other order in any suit or proceeding that would otherwise have the effect of preventing or delaying the consummation of the Transactions.

to, directly or indirectly through another Person, solicit, initiate or knowingly take any action to facilitate or encourage any Acquisition Proposal or proposal or inquiry that would be reasonably be expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal or, subject to Section 5.6(b), (i) conduct or engage in any discussions or negotiations with, disclose any non-public information relating to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to, afford access to the business, properties, assets, books or records of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to or otherwise cooperate in any way with, or knowingly assist, participate in, facilitate or encourage any effort by, any third party that is seeking to make, or has made, any Acquisition Proposal, (ii) enter into any agreement in principle, letter of intent, term sheet, acquisition agreement, merger agreement, option agreement, joint venture agreement, partnership agreement or other Contract relating to any Acquisition Proposal or enter into any agreement or agreement in principle requiring the Company to abandon, terminate or fail to consummate the Transactions or breach its obligations under this Agreement, or (iii) resolve, propose or agree to do any of the foregoing, provided however, nothing in this Section 5.6(a) shall prohibit the Company or its Representatives from contacting in writing any Person or group of Persons who make, following the date of this Agreement, a bona fide written Acquisition Proposal, for the sole purpose of clarifying the terms and conditions thereof so as to determine whether such Acquisition Proposal constitutes, or would reasonably be expected to lead to, a Superior Proposal, and any such actions shall not be a breach of this Section 5.6(a). The Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries and shall direct its Representatives to immediately cease and cause to be terminated, and shall not authorize or knowingly permit any of its or their Representatives to continue, any and all existing activities, discussions or negotiations, with any third party conducted with respect to any Acquisition Proposal and shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause any such third party (or its agents or advisors) in possession of non-public information in respect of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that was furnished by or on behalf of the Company or its Subsidiaries to return or destroy (and confirm destruction of) all such information.

(b) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 5.6 to the contrary, at any time prior to the Company Shareholder Approval, in response to an unsolicited bona fide written Acquisition Proposal made after the date of this Agreement, and not resulting from an intentional or material breach of Section 5.6(a), that the Company Board determines in good faith (after consultation with its financial advisor and outside counsel) constitutes, or would reasonably be expected to lead to, a Superior Proposal, the Company may, upon a good faith determination by the Company Board (after consultation with its outside counsel) that failure to take such action would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Legal Requirements: (A) furnish information with respect to the Company and its Subsidiaries to the Person making such Acquisition Proposal (and such Person’s Representatives); provided, however, that the Company and such Person enter into a customary confidentiality agreement containing terms no less favorable to the Company than those contained in the Confidentiality Agreement and containing additional provisions that expressly permit the Company to comply with the terms of this Section 5.6 (a copy of which confidentiality agreement shall be promptly and in any event with 24 hours provided for informational purposes only to Parent); provided, further, that any material non-public information concerning the Company or any of its Subsidiaries provided or made available to the Person making such Acquisition Proposal shall, to the extent not previously provided to Merger Sub or Parent, be provided or made available to Merger Sub or Parent as promptly as reasonably practicable after it is provided to such Person making such Acquisition

Proposal; and (B) participate in discussions or negotiations with the Person making such Acquisition Proposal (and its Representatives) regarding such Acquisition Proposal.

(c) The Company shall promptly advise Parent in writing, in no event later than 24 hours after receipt of any Acquisition Proposal and shall indicate the identity of the Person making such Acquisition Proposal, of the terms and conditions of any proposal or offer, the nature of any inquiries or contacts, and all material written materials relating to such Acquisition Proposal and thereafter shall keep Parent informed of all material developments affecting the status and the material terms of any such Acquisition Proposal.

(d) Neither the Company Board nor any committee thereof shall (i) fail to make, withdraw, amend or modify, or publicly propose to withhold, withdraw, amend or modify the Company Board Recommendation, (ii) approve, endorse, adopt or recommend, or publicly propose to approve, endorse, adopt or recommend, any Acquisition Proposal or Superior Proposal, (iii) fail to include the Company Board Recommendation in the Proxy Statement, (iv) fail to recommend against acceptance of any tender offer or exchange offer for the Company Common Stock within six Business Days after the commencement of such offer, (v) fail to issue a press release reaffirming the Company Board Recommendation after receipt of any publicly announced Acquisition Proposal within five Business Days following Parent’s written request to issue such press release ( provided that Parent shall not be entitled to request such reaffirmation more than one time, unless such Acquisition Proposal is amended, after which, the Company Board shall provide a reaffirmation for each such amendment in accordance with this Section 5.6(d)), or (vi) resolve or agree to take any of the foregoing actions (each such foregoing action or failure to act in clauses (i) through (vi) being referred to as a “ Company Adverse Recommendation Change ”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the determination (but not the adoption, approval, recommendation or endorsement) by the Company Board that an Acquisition Proposal is or would be reasonably likely to lead to a Superior Proposal shall not be deemed a “Company Adverse Recommendation Change”. The Company Board may, at any time prior to the receipt of the Company Shareholder Approval and subject to the Company’s compliance with Section 5.6(e) of this Agreement, take any of the following actions: (A) effect a Company Adverse Recommendation Change in response to a bona fide written Acquisition Proposal if the Company Board concludes in good faith (i) after consultation with the Company’s financial advisor, that the Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal and (ii) after consultation with outside counsel, that the failure to do so would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Legal Requirements; or (B) effect a Company Adverse Recommendation Change in response to an Intervening Event if the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with outside counsel, that the failure to take such action would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Legal Requirements.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 5.6(d), the Company shall not be entitled to make a Company Adverse Recommendation Change pursuant to Section 5.6(d) or terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.4 in response to a Superior Proposal unless: (A) the Company shall have first provided prompt prior written notice, and in any event at least five Business Days prior to making a Company Adverse Recommendation Change (the “ Notice Period ”) to Parent of its intention to make a Company Adverse Recommendation Change (a “ Recommendation Change Notice ”), which notice shall contain a description of the material terms and conditions of such Superior Proposal, including the most

current version of the agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal (which description and summary shall be updated on a prompt basis) in the form to be entered into and the identity of the third party making the Superior Proposal or, if the basis for the proposed action by the Company Board is an Intervening Event, a description of the events, facts and circumstances giving rise to such Intervening Event and the reason for the Company Adverse Recommendation Change (it being understood and agreed that the delivery of such notice shall not, in and of itself, be deemed to be a Company Adverse Recommendation Change); (B) the Company shall, and shall cause its financial advisor and legal counsel to, during the Notice Period, negotiate with Parent in good faith to make such adjustments in the terms and conditions of this Agreement so that such Acquisition Proposal ceases to constitute a Superior Proposal, or in the case of an Intervening Event, to cause such Intervening Event to no longer form the basis for the Company Board to effect a Company Adverse Recommendation Change, if Parent, in its discretion, proposes to make such adjustments (it being understood and agreed (x) that in the event that, after commencement of the Notice Period, there is any material revision to the terms of a Superior Proposal, including, any revision in price, the Notice Period shall be extended, if applicable, to ensure that at least three Business Days remain in the Notice Period subsequent to the time the Company notifies Parent of any such material revision and (y) that there may be multiple extensions of the Notice Period); and (C) Parent does not make, within the Notice Period, a binding written proposal that is determined by the Company Board (after consultation the Company’s outside counsel, and in the case of a Superior Proposal, the Company’s financial advisor), to cause such Intervening Event to no longer form the basis for the Company Board to effect a Company Adverse Recommendation Change or cause the offer previously constituting a Superior Proposal to no longer constitute a Superior Proposal, as the case may be.

(f) The Company shall keep confidential any proposals made by Parent to revise the terms of this Agreement, other than in the event of any amendment to this Agreement or to the extent required by applicable Legal Requirements to be disclosed.

(g) Nothing contained in this Agreement shall prohibit the Company or the Company Board, directly or indirectly through their respective Representatives, from (i) taking and 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 under the Exchange Act or (ii) making any “stop, look and listen” communication to the Company’s stockholders pursuant to Rule 14d-9(f) under the Exchange Act if the Company Board has determined in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that failure to take such action would be reasonably likely to result in a breach of the directors’ fiduciary duties under any Legal Requirement; provided that, in each case, any Company Adverse Recommendation Change may only be made in accordance with this Section 5.6; and provided further that any such statement or disclosure shall constitute a Company Adverse Recommendation Change unless such statement or disclosure is accompanied by an express, unequivocal affirmation of the Company Board Recommendation.

(h) The Company agrees that any action taken by any individual officer, director, financial advisor, banker, investment banker or, at the direction of the Company, by any other Company Representative that, if taken by the Company, would constitute an intentional or material breach of the restrictions set forth in this Section 5.6 shall be deemed to be an intentional or material breach (as applicable) of this Section 5.6 by the Company.

5.7 Preparation of the Proxy Statement .

(a) The Company shall use reasonable best efforts to prepare, within 16 Business Days after the date of this Agreement, in consultation with Parent, and cause to be filed with the SEC the Proxy Statement in preliminary form.

(c) If, at any time prior to the receipt of the Company Shareholder Approval, any information relating to the Company or Parent, respectively, or any of their respective Affiliates, should be discovered by the Company or Parent which, in the reasonable judgment of the Company or Parent, respectively, should be set forth in an amendment of, or a supplement to, the Proxy Statement, so that any of such documents would not include any misstatement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, the Party which discovers such information shall promptly notify the other Parties, and the Company and Parent shall cooperate in the prompt filing with the SEC of any necessary amendment of, or supplement to, the Proxy Statement and, to the extent required by Legal Requirement, in disseminating the

information contained in such amendment or supplement to shareholders of the Company. Nothing in this Section 5.7(c) shall limit the obligations of any Party under Section 5.7(b).

(d) For purposes of this Section 5.7, any information concerning or related to the Company, its Affiliates or the Company Shareholder Meeting will be deemed to have been provided by the Company, and any information concerning or related to Parent or its Affiliates will be deemed to have been provided by Parent.

(a) As promptly as practicable following the date of this Agreement, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts, in accordance with applicable Legal Requirement and the Company Articles and Company Bylaws, to establish a record date for, duly call, give notice of, convene and hold the Company Shareholder Meeting. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Proxy Statement to be mailed to its shareholders as promptly as practicable (and in any event within four Business Days) following the later of (i) the resolution of any comments from the SEC or the staff of the SEC with respect to the preliminary Proxy Statement, and (ii) the expiration of the ten day waiting period provided in Rule 14a-6(a) promulgated under the Exchange Act. The Company shall, through the Company Board of Directors, recommend to its shareholders that they give the Company Shareholder Approval, include such recommendation in the Proxy Statement and solicit and use its reasonable best efforts to obtain the Company Shareholder Approval, except in each case to the extent that the Company Board of Directors shall have made a Company Adverse Recommendation Change as permitted by Section 5.6. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 5.8, the Company may postpone, recess or adjourn the Company Shareholder Meeting without the prior written consent of Parent (but after consultation with Parent) (i) to the extent required by any Legal Requirement or any court of competent jurisdiction, (ii) if as of the time for which the Company Shareholder Meeting is originally scheduled (as set forth in the Proxy Statement) there are insufficient shares of Company Shares represented (either in person or by proxy) to constitute a quorum necessary to conduct the business of the Company Shareholder Meeting or to the extent that at such time the Company has not received proxies sufficient to allow the receipt of the Company Shareholder Approval at the Company Shareholder Meeting, (iii) to allow time for the filing and dissemination of, and a sufficient period for evaluation by the Company’s shareholders of, any supplemental or amended disclosure document to the extent that the Company’s Board of Directors has determined in good faith (after consultation with the Company’s outside legal counsel) is necessary or required under any applicable Legal Requirement or (iv) the Company Board has effected a Company Adverse Recommendation Change as permitted by Section 5.6. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Determination Date occurs, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to (i) cause the Asset Proxy Statement to be mailed to its shareholders as promptly as practicable (and in any event within two Business Days) following the later of (i) the resolution of any comments from the SEC or the staff of the SEC with respect to the preliminary Asset Proxy Statement, and (ii) the expiration of the ten day waiting period provided in Rule 14a-6(a) promulgated under the Exchange Act, and (ii) in accordance with applicable Legal Requirement and the Company Articles and Company Bylaws, to establish a record date for, duly call, give notice of, convene and hold the Company Shareholder Meeting to vote on the matters set forth in the Asset Proxy Statement.

Without the prior written consent of Parent, the approval of this Agreement, the Merger or the Asset Purchase (in accordance with Section 5.7(a) above), the adjournment of the Company Shareholder Meeting, as necessary, to solicit additional proxies if there are insufficient votes in favor of approval of this Agreement, and the advisory vote required by Rule 14a-21(c) under the Exchange Act shall be the only matters (other than matters of procedure and matters required by applicable Legal Requirement to be voted on by the Company’s shareholders in connection with the approval of this Agreement) that the Company shall propose to be acted on by the shareholders of the Company at the Company Shareholder Meeting. Once the Company has established a record date for the Company Shareholder Meeting, the Company shall not change such record date or establish a different record date for the Company Shareholder Meeting without the prior written consent of Parent, unless, following consultation with Parent, required to do so by applicable Legal Requirements (but the Company shall not be entitled to claim that the Company Board’s fiduciary duties require it to establish a new record date) or the Company Articles or Company Bylaws.

(b) The Company will use reasonable best efforts to hold the Company Shareholder Meeting as soon as practicable after the Proxy Statement is mailed to the Company’s shareholders.

(c) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, unless this Agreement has been previously terminated in full compliance with Article IX, the Company agrees that (i) its obligation to duly call, give notice of, convene and hold the Company Shareholder Meeting shall not be affected by any Company Adverse Recommendation Change and (ii) its obligations pursuant to this Section 5.8 shall not be affected by the commencement, public proposal, public disclosure or communication to the Company of any Acquisition Proposal (whether or not a Superior Proposal).
