All Cash Replacement Company Option Amounts will, subject to the holder’s continued service with Parent or its Affiliates (including the Surviving Corporation or its Subsidiaries) through the applicable vesting dates, vest and be payable at the same time as the Unvested Company Options for which such Cash Replacement Company Option Amounts were exchanged would have vested and been payable pursuant to its terms (including, for the avoidance of doubt, with respect to any terms providing for acceleration of vesting pursuant

22

to any Employee Plans as in effect on the date hereof). Except as otherwise set forth in this Section 2.8(a)(ii), all Cash Replacement Company Option Amounts shall otherwise have the same terms and conditions (including with respect to vesting) as applied to the Unvested Company Option for which they were exchanged, except for terms rendered inoperative by reason of the Transactions or for such other administrative or ministerial changes as in the reasonable and good faith determination of Parent are appropriate to conform the administration of the Cash Replacement Company Option Amounts.

(iii) Out-of-the-Money Options.

Except as otherwise expressly agreed to in writing prior to the Effective Time by Parent and a holder of Company RSUs, at the Effective Time, each Company RSU outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time will automatically, without any action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or the holder thereof, be treated as follows:

(i) Vested Company RSUs. Each Vested Company RSU shall be cancelled and converted into and will become the right to receive an amount in cash, without interest thereon and subject to applicable withholding Taxes, equal to the product of (A) the Per Share Price and (B) the total number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Vested Company RSU as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (the “Vested RSU Consideration” together with the Vested Option Consideration, the “Vested Equity Award Consideration”).

(ii) Unvested Company RSUs. Each Company RSU outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time that is not a Vested Company RSU (an “Unvested Company RSU”) shall be cancelled and converted into and will become the right to receive an amount in cash, without interest thereon and subject to applicable withholding Taxes, equal to the product of (A) the Per Share Price and (B) the total number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Unvested Company RSU as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (the “Cash Replacement Company RSU Amounts”), which Cash Replacement Company RSU Amounts will, subject to the holder’s continued service with Parent or its Affiliates (including the Surviving Corporation or its Subsidiaries) through the applicable vesting dates, vest and be payable at the same time as the Unvested Company RSUs for which such Cash Replacement Company RSU Amounts were exchanged would have vested and been payable pursuant to its terms (including, for the avoidance of doubt, with respect to any terms providing for acceleration of vesting pursuant to any Employee Plan as in effect on the date hereof). Except as otherwise set forth in this Section 2.8(b)(ii), all Cash Replacement Company RSU Amounts shall otherwise have the same terms and conditions (including with respect to vesting) as applied to the Unvested Company RSU for which they were exchanged, except for terms rendered inoperative by reason of the Transactions or for such other administrative or ministerial changes as in the reasonable and good faith determination of Parent are appropriate to conform the administration of the Cash Replacement Company RSU Amounts.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, to the extent that any Company RSU or Company Option constitutes nonqualified deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code, any payment made in respect thereof pursuant to Section 2.8(a) or Section 2.8(b) shall be paid on the applicable settlement or payment date for such Company RSU or Company Option, as applicable, if required to comply with Section 409A of the Code.

(d) Company Stock Plans; Company ESPP. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company Board (or a committee thereof with necessary authority) shall take such actions as are necessary and appropriate (including adopting resolutions) to provide that (i) the Company Stock Plans and the Company ESPP will each terminate as of the Effective Time (but subject to the consummation of the Merger), (ii) no offering period will commence pursuant to the Company ESPP upon or after the date of this Agreement, and (iii) no new participants may begin participation in (or increase their deductions under the Company ESPP or otherwise make separate non-payroll contributions to the Company ESPP) the Company ESPP upon or after the date of this Agreement.

Prior to the Closing, Parent shall (i) select a nationally recognized bank or trust company reasonably acceptable to the Company to act as the payment agent for the Merger (the “Payment Agent”); and (ii) enter into a payment agent agreement, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Company, with such Payment Agent.

(b) Payment Fund. At or immediately following the Effective Time, Parent shall deposit (or cause to be deposited) with the Payment Agent, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, for payment to the holders of shares of Company Common Stock (other than to holders of Dissenting Company Shares) pursuant to Section 2.7, an amount of cash equal to the aggregate consideration to which such holders of Company Common Stock become entitled pursuant to Section 2.7. Without limiting the foregoing, the Company shall, solely at the written request and direction of Parent, deposit with the Payment Agent at the Closing such portion of such an amount of aggregate consideration from the cash denominated in United States dollars and held in United States bank accounts of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries as specified in such

24

request, and, upon such deposit with the Payment Agent, Parent shall be deemed to have caused such funds to be deposited with the Payment Agent. Until disbursed in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, such cash shall be invested by the Payment Agent, as directed by Parent or the Surviving Corporation, in (i) obligations of or fully guaranteed by the United States or any agency or instrumentality thereof and backed by the full faith and credit of the United States with a maturity of no more than 30 days; (ii) commercial paper obligations rated A-1 or P-1 or better by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. or Standard & Poor’s Corporation, respectively; or (iii) certificates of deposit, bank repurchase agreements or banker’s acceptances of commercial banks with capital exceeding $1,000,000,000 (based on the most recent financial statements of such bank that are then publicly available) (such cash and any proceeds thereon, the “Payment Fund”).

Any income from investment of the Payment Fund will be payable to Parent or the Surviving Corporation as Parent directs. The Payment Fund shall not be used for any purpose other than the payment to holders of Company Common Stock as contemplated by Section 2.7.

(c) Payment Procedures. Promptly following the Effective Time (and in any event within three Business Days), Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall cause the Payment Agent to mail to each holder of record as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than Owned Company Shares and Dissenting Company Shares, as applicable) of one or more certificates that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented issued and outstanding shares of Company Common Stock (other than Owned Company Shares and Dissenting Company Shares, as applicable) (the “Certificates” (if any)) (i) a letter of transmittal in customary form (which will specify that delivery will be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates will pass, only upon delivery of the Certificates to the Payment Agent), and (ii) instructions for effecting the surrender of the Certificates in exchange for the Per Share Price payable with respect to the shares of Company Common Stock formerly represented thereby pursuant to Section 2.7. Upon surrender of Certificates for cancellation to the Payment Agent, together with such letter of transmittal, duly completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto, the holders of such Certificates will be entitled to receive in exchange therefor an amount in cash equal to the product obtained by multiplying (x) the aggregate number of shares of Company Common Stock represented by such Certificates by (y) the Per Share Price, and the Certificates so surrendered will forthwith be cancelled. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no record holder of uncertificated shares of Company Common Stock (other than Owned Company Shares) (the “Uncertificated Shares”) will be required to deliver a Certificate or an executed letter of transmittal to the Payment Agent in order to receive the payment that such holder is entitled to receive pursuant to Section 2.7 with respect to such Uncertificated Shares. In lieu thereof, such record holder, upon receipt of an “agent’s message” by the Payment Agent (or such other evidence, if any, of transfer as the Payment Agent may reasonably request), will be entitled to receive in exchange therefor an amount in cash equal to the product obtained by multiplying (1) the aggregate number of shares of Company Common Stock represented by such

25

holder’s transferred Uncertificated Shares by (2) the Per Share Price, and the transferred Uncertificated Shares will be cancelled. No interest will be paid or accrued for the benefit of holders of the Certificates and Uncertificated Shares on the Per Share Price payable upon the surrender of such Certificates and transfer of Uncertificated Shares pursuant to this Section 2.9(c). Until so surrendered or transferred, outstanding Certificates and Uncertificated Shares will be deemed from and after the Effective Time to evidence only the right to receive the Per Share Price without interest thereon, payable in respect thereof pursuant to Section 2.7.

(d) DTC Payment. Prior to the Effective Time, Parent and the Company shall cooperate to establish procedures with the Payment Agent and the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) with the objective that the Payment Agent shall transmit to DTC or its nominee on the Closing Date an amount in cash, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, equal to (i) the number of shares of Company Common Stock (other than Owned Company Shares and Dissenting Company Shares) held of record by DTC or such nominee immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by (ii) the Per Share Price.

(e) Transfers of Ownership. If payment of the Per Share Price is to be made to a Person other than the Person in whose name the surrendered Certificate or transferred Uncertificated Share in exchange therefor is registered, it shall be a condition of payment that (i) the Person requesting such exchange present proper evidence of transfer or shall otherwise be in proper form for transfer and (ii) the Person requesting such payment shall have paid any transfer and other Taxes required by reason of the payment of the Per Share Price to a Person other than the registered holder of such Certificate or Uncertificated Share surrendered or shall have established to the reasonable satisfaction of the Surviving Corporation that such Tax either has been paid or is not applicable.

(f) No Liability. Subject to applicable Law and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, none of the Payment Agent, Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any other Party will be liable to a holder of shares of Company Common Stock for any amount properly paid to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law.

(g) Distribution of Payment Fund to Parent. Any portion of the Payment Fund that remains undistributed to the holders of the Certificates or Uncertificated Shares on the date that is one year after the Effective Time will be delivered to Parent (or the Surviving Corporation as directed by Parent) upon demand, and any holders of shares of Company Common Stock that were issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Merger who have not theretofore surrendered or transferred their Certificates or Uncertificated Shares representing such shares of Company Common Stock for exchange pursuant to this Section 2.9 shall thereafter look for payment of the Per Share Price payable in respect of the shares of Company Common Stock represented by such Certificates or Uncertificated Shares solely to Parent (subject to abandoned property, escheat or similar Law), as general creditors thereof, for any claim to the Per Share Price to which such holders may be entitled pursuant to Section 2.7. Any amounts remaining unclaimed by holders of any such Certificates or Uncertificated Shares five years after the Effective Time, or at such earlier date as is immediately prior to the time at which such amounts would otherwise escheat to, or become property of, any Governmental Authority, will, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, become the property of the Surviving Corporation free and clear of any claims or interest of any such holders (and their successors, assigns or personal representatives) previously entitled thereto.

26

2.10 No Further Ownership Rights in Company Common Stock. From and after the Effective Time, there will be no further registration of transfers on the records of the Surviving Corporation of shares of Company Common Stock that were issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, other than transfers to reflect, in accordance with customary settlement procedures, trades effected prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates or Uncertificated Shares are presented to the Surviving Corporation for any reason, they will (subject to compliance with the exchange procedures of Section 2.9(c)) be cancelled and exchanged as provided in this Article II.

2.11 Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. In the event that any Certificates have been lost, stolen or destroyed, the Payment Agent shall issue in exchange therefor, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the holder thereof, the Per Share Price payable in respect thereof pursuant to Section 2.7. Parent or the Payment Agent may, in its reasonable discretion and as a condition precedent to the payment of such Per Share Price, require the owners of such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificates to deliver a bond in such reasonable amount as it may direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against Parent, the Surviving Corporation or the Payment Agent with respect to the Certificates alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.

2.12 Required Withholding. Each of the Payment Agent, Parent, the Company and the Surviving Corporation (without duplication), and each of their respective Affiliates and agents, shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any amounts payable to any Person pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as are required to be deducted or withheld therefrom pursuant to any Law in respect of applicable Taxes. To the extent that such amounts are so deducted or withheld and paid over to the appropriate Governmental Authority, such amounts will be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person to whom such amounts would otherwise have been paid in satisfaction of the corresponding obligations hereunder.

As of the date of this Agreement, other than the Financing Letters, and any customary engagement letters or customary fee letters, in each case, with respect to the Debt Financing (none of which adversely affect the conditionality, enforceability, availability or termination of the Debt Financing), there are no other Contracts or side letters to which Parent, Merger Sub or any of their respective Affiliates is a party relating to the funding or investing, as applicable, of the full amount of the Financing at Closing, other than as expressly set forth in the Financing Letters delivered to the Company prior to the date hereof.

(c) Sufficiency of Financing. Assuming (x) the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 7.1 and Section 7.2 and (y) the consummation of the Preferred Equity Financing pursuant to the preferred equity commitment letter, dated as of the date of this Agreement (as may be amended, restated, supplemented, replaced or otherwise modified, including all exhibits, schedules and annexes thereto), from the preferred equity investors referred to therein, the aggregate proceeds of the Financing are sufficient to (i) make all payments contemplated by this Agreement in connection with the consummation of the Closing (including the payment of all amounts payable pursuant to Article II in connection with or as a result of the Merger); (ii) repay, prepay or discharge (substantially simultaneously with the Merger) the principal of and interest on, and all other indebtedness outstanding pursuant to the Company Indebtedness as contemplated by this Agreement; and (iii) pay all fees and expenses required to be paid at Closing by Parent or Merger Sub in connection with the Merger and the Financing.

(d) Validity. As of the date of this Agreement, the Financing Letters (in the forms delivered by Parent to the Company) are in full force and effect with respect to, and constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of, Parent and, to the knowledge of Parent, the other parties thereto, as applicable, enforceable against Parent and, to the knowledge of Parent, assuming due and valid execution by each other party thereto, the other parties thereto, as applicable, in accordance with their terms (except as limited by the Enforceability Exception). Other than as expressly set forth in the Debt Commitment Letter and Equity Commitment Letters, there are no conditions precedent or other contingencies related to the funding of the amount of the Financing required to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement pursuant to any agreement relating to the Financing to which the Guarantors, Parent, Merger Sub or any of

46

their respective Affiliates is a party. As of the date of this Agreement, assuming satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 7.1 and Section 7.2, each of Parent and Merger Sub has no reason to believe that it or any other parties to the Financing Letters will be unable to satisfy on a timely basis any term or condition in the Financing Letters applicable to it. As of the date of this Agreement, no event has occurred that, with or without notice or lapse of time or both, would, or would reasonably be expected to (i) constitute a default or breach on the part of Parent or, to the knowledge of Parent, any of the other parties thereto pursuant to the Financing Letters; (ii) result in the failure of any condition to the Financing; or (iii) otherwise result in a portion of the Financing (in an amount that would reduce the aggregate amount of the Financing below the amount required to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) being unavailable to Parent on the Closing Date. As of the date of this Agreement, assuming satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 7.1 and Section 7.2, Parent has no reason to believe that the amount of the Financing required to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement will not be made available to Parent on or prior to the Closing Date. As of the date of this Agreement, Parent and Merger Sub have fully paid, or caused to be fully paid, all commitment or other fees and amounts that are due and payable on or prior to the date of this Agreement pursuant to the terms of the Financing Letters.

(e) No Exclusive Arrangements. None of the Guarantors, Parent, Merger Sub or any of their respective Affiliates has entered into any Contract prohibiting or seeking to prohibit any bank, investment bank or other potential provider of debt financing from providing or seeking to provide debt financing to any Person, in each case in connection with a transaction relating to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or in connection with the Merger.

4.12 Stockholder and Management Arrangements. None of the Guarantors, Parent, Merger Sub or any of their respective Affiliates is a party to any Contract, or has authorized, made or entered into, or committed or agreed to enter into, any formal or informal arrangements or other understandings (whether or not binding) with any stockholder (other than any existing limited partner or other equity financing source of the Guarantors or any of its Affiliates or the Persons executing the Voting Agreements with respect to the transactions contemplated thereby), director, officer, employee or other Affiliate of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (a) relating to (i) this Agreement or the Merger; (ii) the Company; or (iii) the Surviving Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries, businesses or operations (including as to continuing employment) from and after the Effective Time; or (b) pursuant to which (i) any holder of Company Common Stock would be entitled to receive consideration of a different amount or nature than the Per Share Price in respect of such holder’s shares of Company Common Stock (including through any “roll-over” of existing equity in connection with the Transactions); (ii) any holder of Company Common Stock (other than the Persons executing the Voting Agreements) has agreed to approve this Agreement or vote against any Superior Proposal; or (iii) any stockholder, director, officer, employee or other Affiliate of the Company other than the Guarantors has agreed to provide, directly or indirectly, equity investment to Parent, Merger Sub or the Company to finance any portion of the Merger.

4.13 Solvency. As of the Effective Time, assuming (i) the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Section 7.1 and Section 7.2, (ii) the representations and warranties of the Company contained in Article III are true and correct in all material respects, and (iii) immediately after giving effect to the Merger (including the payment of all amounts payable pursuant to Article II in connection with or as a result of the Merger and all related fees and expenses of Parent, Merger

47

Sub, the Company and their respective Subsidiaries in connection therewith), (a) the amount of the “fair saleable value” of the assets of the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries (on a consolidated basis) will exceed (i) the value of all liabilities of the Surviving Corporation and such Subsidiaries (on a consolidated basis), including contingent and other liabilities; and (ii) the amount that will be required to pay the probable liabilities of the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries (on a consolidated basis) on their existing debts (including contingent liabilities) as such debts become absolute and matured; (b) the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries (on a consolidated basis) will not have an unreasonably small amount of capital for the operation of the businesses in which they are engaged or proposed to be engaged; and (c) the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries (on a consolidated basis) will be able to pay their liabilities, including contingent and other liabilities, as they mature. No transfer of property is being made by Parent, Merger Sub, the Surviving Corporation or any their respective Affiliates (or is contemplated being made) and no obligation is being incurred (or is contemplated being incurred) by Parent, Merger Sub, the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective Affiliates in connection with the Transactions (or any series of related transactions or any other transactions in close proximity with the Transactions) (a) with the intent to hinder, delay or defraud either present or future creditors of the Surviving Corporation, Parent, Merger Sub or any of their respective Affiliates, (b) that could reasonably be expected to render the Surviving Corporation, Parent, Merger Sub or any of their respective Affiliates insolvent or (c) that as of the date hereof, is reasonably expected to have a material adverse effect on the long term financial sustainability of the Surviving Corporation, Parent, Merger Sub or any of their respective Affiliates.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Parent and Merger Sub each acknowledges and agrees that, except for the representations and warranties expressly made by the Company in Article III or in any certificate delivered pursuant to this Agreement, neither the Company nor any other Person makes or has made any representations or warranties with respect to any estimates, projections, forecasts, or other forward-looking information made available to Parent, Merger Sub or any of their respective Representatives (including in certain “data rooms,” “virtual data rooms,” management presentations or in any other form in expectation of, or in connection with, the Transactions).

48

4.15 Parent and Merger Sub Information. The information supplied or to be supplied by Parent or Merger Sub for inclusion in the Proxy Statement will not, at the time the Proxy Statement is first disseminated to the stockholders of the Company or at the time of the Company Stockholder Meeting, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading.

Except for the representations and warranties expressly made by Parent and Merger Sub in this Article IV or in any certificate delivered pursuant to this Agreement, none of Parent, Merger Sub or any other Person makes or has made any representation or warranty of any kind whatsoever, express or implied, at Law or in equity, with respect to Parent or Merger Sub or their Affiliates or their respective business, operations, assets, liabilities, financial condition, notwithstanding the delivery or disclosure to the Company or any of its Affiliates or Representatives of any documentation, forecasts or other information with respect to any one or more of the foregoing. Except for the representations and warranties expressly set forth in Article III, Parent and Merger Sub hereby acknowledge that neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries, nor any other Person, makes or has made or is making any other express or implied representation or warranty with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or their respective business or operations, including with respect to any information provided or made available to Parent, Merger Sub or any of their respective Representatives or any information developed by Parent, Merger Sub or any of their respective Representatives.

(i) the Company Board (acting on the recommendation of the Special Committee) may effect a Company Board Recommendation Change in response to an Intervening Event that occurs after the date hereof (within the meaning of clause (A) of the definition of “Company Board Recommendation Change”) if the Company Board (acting on the recommendation of the Special Committee) determines in good faith (after consultation with its financial advisors and outside legal counsel) that the failure to do so would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law; provided that the Company Board shall not effect such a Company Board Recommendation Change unless:

(1) the Company has provided prior written notice to Parent at least four Business Days in advance (such notice period, including any extension thereto, in accordance with this Section 5.3(c)(i), the “Intervening Event Notice Period”) to the effect that the Company Board (acting on the recommendation of the Special Committee) intends to effect a Company Board Recommendation Change, which notice shall specify the basis for such Company Board Recommendation Change;

(2) prior to effecting such Company Board Recommendation Change, the Company and its Representatives, during such Intervening Event Notice Period, negotiate with Parent and its Representatives in good faith (to the extent that Parent desires to so negotiate) to enable Parent to make such adjustments to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Financing Letters in such a manner that would obviate the need to effect a Company Board Recommendation Change; provided that, in the event the Intervening Event to which this provision applies thereafter changes in any material respect, the Company will be required to deliver a new written notice to Parent and to comply with the requirements of this Section 5.3(c)(i) with respect to such new written notice, it being understood that the “Intervening Event Notice Period” in respect of such new written notice will be three Business Days; and

55

(ii) if the Company has received an unsolicited Acquisition Proposal that did not result from a non-de minimis breach of this Section 5.3 and that the Company Board (acting on the recommendation of the Special Committee) has determined in good faith (after consultation with its financial advisors and outside legal counsel) constitutes a Superior Proposal, then the Company Board may (A) effect a Company Board Recommendation Change with respect to such Acquisition Proposal; or (B) cause the Company to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(h) in order to concurrently enter into an Alternative Acquisition Agreement with respect to such Acquisition Proposal; provided that the Company Board shall not take any action described in the foregoing clauses (A) and (B) unless:

(1) the Company Board determines in good faith (after consultation with its financial advisors and outside legal counsel) that the failure to do so would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law;

(2) (i) the Company has provided prior written notice to Parent at least four Business Days in advance (such notice period, including any extension thereto in accordance with this Section 5.3(c)(i)(2), the “Acquisition Proposal Notice Period”) to the effect that the Company Board intends to take the actions described in clauses (A) or (B) of Section 5.3(c)(ii), including the identity of the Person or Group making such Acquisition Proposal, the material terms thereof and copies of all material relevant agreements (including any Alternative Acquisition Agreements) relating to such Acquisition Proposal; and (ii) prior to effecting such Company Board Recommendation Change or termination, the Company and its Representatives, during the Acquisition Proposal Notice Period, negotiate with Parent and its Representatives in good faith (to the extent that Parent desires to so negotiate) to enable Parent to make such adjustments to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Financing Letters in such a manner that would obviate the need to effect a Company Board Recommendation Change or termination; provided that, in the event of any material modifications to such Acquisition Proposal (it being understood that any change to the financial terms (including the form, amount and timing of payment of consideration) or other material terms of such proposal shall be deemed a material modification), the Company will be required to deliver a new written notice to Parent and to comply with the requirements of this Section 5.3(c)(i)(2) with respect to such new written notice, it being understood that the “Acquisition Proposal Notice Period” in respect of such new written notice will be three Business Days; and

(3) at the end of the Acquisition Proposal Notice Period and prior to taking any such action, the Company Board has considered in good faith any such proposals by Parent to make revisions to the terms of this Agreement and the Financing Letters, and has determined in good faith (after consultation with its financial advisors and outside legal counsel), that (x) such Acquisition Proposal continues to constitute a Superior Proposal and (y) the failure to take such action would continue to be inconsistent with the Company Board’s fiduciary duties under applicable Law if such changes proposed by Parent were to be given effect.

(d) No Change in Company Board Recommendation or Entry into an Alternative Acquisition Agreement. Except as permitted by Section 5.3(c) or Section 5.3(f), the Company Board (or a committee thereof, including the Special Committee) shall not:

(i) (A) withhold, withdraw, amend or modify, or publicly propose to withhold, withdraw, amend or modify, the Company Board Recommendation; (B) adopt, approve, recommend or endorse or otherwise declare advisable, or publicly propose to adopt, approve or recommend to the Company Stockholders an Acquisition Proposal; (C) fail to include the

56

Company Board Recommendation in the Proxy Statement; (D) fail to publicly reaffirm the Company Board Recommendation within ten Business Days after Parent so requests in writing (it being understood that the Company will have no obligation to make such reaffirmation on more than three separate occasions); (E) fail to recommend, in a Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9 under the Exchange Act, against any Acquisition Proposal that is a tender offer or exchange offer subject to Regulation 14D promulgated under the Exchange Act within ten Business Days after the commencement (within the meaning of Rule 14d-2 under the Exchange Act) of such tender offer or exchange offer (or if the Company Stockholder Meeting is scheduled to be held within ten Business Days from the date of such commencement, promptly and in any event prior to the date which is one Business Day before the date on which the Company Stockholder Meeting is scheduled to be held) or (F) resolve, agree or publicly propose to do any of the foregoing (any action described in clauses (A) through (E), a “Company Board Recommendation Change”); provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, none of (1) the factually accurate disclosure by the Company of the receipt of an Acquisition Proposal, (2) the determination by the Company Board (or a committee thereof, including the Special Committee) that an Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal; or (3) the delivery by the Company to Parent of any notice contemplated by Section 5.3(c) will constitute a Company Board Recommendation Change; or

(ii) cause or permit the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to enter into an Alternative Acquisition Agreement.

(e) Notice. From the date of this Agreement until the earlier to occur of the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Article VIII and the Effective Time, the Company shall as promptly as reasonably practicable (and, in any event, within 48 hours) notify Parent if any Acquisition Proposal or any offers or proposals that would reasonably be expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal are received by the Company or any of its Representatives. Such notice must include (i) the identity of the Person or Group making such Acquisition Proposal; and (ii) a summary of the material terms and conditions (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the form and amount of consideration and proposed financing arrangements) of any such Acquisition Proposal and, to the extent submitted in writing, copies of any such Acquisition Proposal. Thereafter, the Company must keep Parent reasonably informed, on a prompt basis (and, in any event, within 48 hours), of the status and material terms of any such Acquisition Proposal (including any amendments, revisions or other changes thereto) and the status of any related discussions or negotiations.

(f) Certain Disclosures. Nothing contained in this Agreement will prohibit the Company or the Company Board (x) from taking and disclosing to the Company Stockholders a position contemplated by Rule 14d-9 or Rule 14e-2(a) promulgated under the Exchange Act or making a customary “stop-look-and-listen” communication to the Company Stockholders pursuant to Rule 14d-9(f) under the Exchange Act or (y) from making disclosures to the Company Stockholders required under applicable securities Laws with regard to the Transactions or an Acquisition Proposal (solely with respect to clause (y), so long as any such disclosure does not include any statement that constitutes, and does not otherwise constitute, a Company Board Recommendation Change; provided that the foregoing shall in no way (i) eliminate or modify the effect that such disclosure would otherwise have under this Agreement or (ii) override the Company’s obligations pursuant to Section 5.3(d)), and no such communication by the Company or the Company Board (or a committee thereof, including the Special Committee) in accordance with and to the extent expressly permitted by this Section 5.3(f) shall be deemed to be a Company Board Recommendation Change.

57

(g) Breach by Representatives. The Company agrees that any breach of this Section 5.3 by any director or officer of the Company, or a financial advisor acting at the direction or on behalf of the Company or its Affiliates, will be deemed to be a breach of this Section 5.3 by the Company. The Company will not authorize, direct or knowingly permit any consultant or employee of the Company to breach this Section 5.3, and upon becoming aware of any breach or threatened breach of this Section 5.3 by a Representative of the Company, shall use its reasonable best efforts to stop such breach or threatened breach.

5.4 No Control of the Other Party’s Business. The Parties acknowledge and agree that the restrictions set forth in this Agreement are not intended to give Parent or Merger Sub, on the one hand, or the Company, on the other hand, directly or indirectly, the right to control or direct the business or operations of the other at any time prior to the Effective Time. Prior to the Effective Time, each of Parent, Merger Sub and the Company shall exercise, consistent with the terms, conditions and restrictions of this Agreement, complete control and supervision over their own business and operations.

Parent and Merger Sub shall be solely responsible for payment of all filing fees in connection with filings made under the HSR Act and any other Antitrust Laws and Foreign Investment Laws.

(b) Avoidance of Impediments. In furtherance and not in limitation of the other covenants in this Section 6.2, if and to the extent necessary to obtain clearances, consents, approvals, waivers, actions, waiting period expirations or terminations, non-actions or other authorizations pursuant to the HSR Act or any other Antitrust Laws applicable to the Merger, and

59

to avoid or eliminate each and every impediment under any Antitrust Law applicable to the Merger as promptly as practicable and in any event at least five Business Days prior to the Termination Date, each of Parent and Merger Sub shall (and the Company shall if requested in writing by Parent, and shall not without such prior written consent of Parent) offer, negotiate, commit to and effect, by consent decree, hold separate order or otherwise, and take all actions necessary to avoid or eliminate each and every impediment and obtain all clearances, consents, approvals, waivers, actions, waiting period expirations or terminations, non-actions or other authorizations under the HSR Act and any Antitrust Law including (i) the sale, divestiture, transfer, license, disposition, or hold separate (through the establishment of a trust or otherwise), of any and all of the capital stock or other equity or voting interest, assets (whether tangible or intangible), rights, properties, products or businesses of Parent and Merger Sub, and of the Company and its Subsidiaries; (ii) the termination, modification, or assignment of existing relationships, joint ventures, Contracts, or obligations of Parent and Merger Sub, and of the Company and its Subsidiaries; (iii) the modification of any course of conduct regarding future operations of Parent and Merger Sub, and of the Company and its Subsidiaries; and (iv) any other restrictions on the activities of Parent and Merger Sub, and of the Company and its Subsidiaries, including the freedom of action with respect to, or the ability to retain, one or more of the respective operations, divisions, businesses, product lines, customers, assets or rights or interests of Parent and Merger Sub, and of the Company and its Subsidiaries, or the freedom of action with respect to the assets, properties, or businesses to be acquired pursuant to this Agreement; in each case, so as to allow the consummation of the Merger as soon as practicable and, in any event, at least five Business Days prior to the Termination Date; provided that notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, nothing in this Section 6.2(b) or any other provision of this Agreement shall require or obligate Parent, Merger Sub, or any of Parent’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries to, and the Company shall not, without the prior written consent of Parent, agree or otherwise be required to, take any action, including any action contemplated by this Section 6.2(b), with respect to any of Parent’s Affiliates (excluding Merger Sub, but including (x) Blackstone Inc. (“Blackstone”) and any investment funds or investment vehicles affiliated with, or managed or advised by, Blackstone, and (y) any portfolio company (as such term is commonly understood in the private equity industry) or investment of Blackstone or of any such investment fund or investment vehicle), or any interest therein. Parent shall oppose any request for, the entry of, and seek to have vacated or terminated, any Order, judgment, decree, injunction or ruling of any Governmental Authority that could restrain, prevent or delay any required consents, clearances, approvals, waivers, actions, waiting period expirations or terminations, non-actions or other authorizations applicable to the Merger, including by defending through litigation, any action asserted by any Person in any court or before any Governmental Authority and by exhausting all avenues of appeal, including appealing properly any adverse decision or Order by any Governmental Authority, it being understood that the costs and expenses of all such actions shall be borne by Parent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement shall require the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to enter into any agreement or consent decree with the DOJ, FTC or any other Governmental Authority that is not conditioned on the Closing.

(c) Cooperation. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the Company, Parent and Merger Sub shall, subject to any restrictions under applicable Laws, (i) promptly notify the other Parties of, and, if in writing, furnish the others with copies of (or, in the case of oral communications, advise the others of the contents of) any material communication received by such Person from a Governmental Authority in connection with the Merger and permit

60

the other Parties to review and discuss in advance (and to consider in good faith any comments made by the other Parties in relation to) any proposed draft notifications, formal notifications, filing, submission or other written communication (and any analyses, memoranda, white papers, presentations, correspondence or other documents submitted therewith) made in connection with the Merger to a Governmental Authority; (ii) keep the other Parties informed (on a prompt basis) with respect to the status of any such submissions and filings to any Governmental Authority in connection with the Merger and any developments, meetings or discussions with any Governmental Authority in respect thereof, including with respect to (A) the receipt of any non-action, action, clearance, consent, approval, waiver or other authorizations, (B) the expiration or termination of any waiting period, (C) the commencement or proposed or threatened commencement of any investigation, litigation or administrative or judicial action or proceeding under applicable Laws, including any proceeding initiated by a private party, and (D) the nature and status of any objections raised or proposed or threatened to be raised by any Governmental Authority with respect to the Merger; and (iii) not independently participate in any meeting, hearing, proceeding or substantive discussions (whether in person, by telephone, by video or otherwise) with or before any Governmental Authority in respect of the Merger without giving the other parties reasonable prior notice of such meeting or substantive discussions and, unless prohibited by such Governmental Authority, the opportunity to attend or participate. However, each of the Company, Parent and Merger Sub may reasonably designate any commercially sensitive information provided to any Governmental Authority as restricted to “outside counsel only” and any such information shall not be shared with employees, officers or directors or their equivalents of the other Party without approval of the Party providing the commercially sensitive information; provided that each of the Company, Parent and Merger Sub may redact any valuation and related information before sharing any information provided to any Governmental Authority with another Party on an “outside counsel only” basis, and that the Company, Parent and Merger Sub shall not in any event be required to share information that benefits from legal privilege with the other Parties, even on an “outside counsel only” basis, where this would cause such information to cease to benefit from legal privilege.

(d) Other Actions. Parent and Merger Sub shall not, and shall cause Blackstone Capital Partners VIII L.P. not to (i) acquire (by stock purchase, merger, consolidation, purchase of assets, license or otherwise), or (ii) enter into or agree to enter into, any Contracts or arrangements for an acquisition (by stock purchase, merger, consolidation, purchase of assets, license or otherwise) of, any ownership interest, equity interests, assets or rights in or of any Person that would reasonably be expected to, individually or in the aggregate, (A) prevent, materially delay or materially impede the obtaining of, or adversely affect in any material respect the ability of Parent to procure, any clearances, approvals, waivers, actions, non-actions, authorizations, consents, Orders or declarations of any Governmental Authority or the expiration or termination of any applicable waiting period necessary to consummate the Transactions, including the Merger, (B) materially increase the risk of any Governmental Authority entering an Order, ruling, judgment or injunction prohibiting the consummation of the Transactions, including the Merger, or (C) cause Parent, Merger Sub or the Company to be required to obtain any additional clearances, consents, approvals, waivers, actions, waiting period expirations or terminations, non-actions or other authorizations under any Laws with respect to the Merger and the other Transactions that would prevent, materially delay or materially impede the consummation of the Merger or the other Transactions.

6.3 Proxy Statement.

(a) Proxy Statement. As promptly as reasonably practicable following the date of this Agreement, and in no event later than April 18, 2023, the Company (with the assistance and cooperation of Parent and Merger Sub as reasonably requested by the Company) shall prepare and file with the SEC a preliminary proxy statement (as amended or supplemented, the “Proxy Statement”) relating to the Company Stockholder Meeting; provided that the Company shall not be in breach of this Section 6.3(a) as a result of any delay in filing the Proxy Statement caused by Parent’s or Merger Sub’s failure to comply with their obligations pursuant to Section 6.3(c) in any material respect. Subject to Section 5.3, the Company shall include the Company Board Recommendation in the Proxy Statement.

(b) Other Required Company Filing. If the Company 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 (with the assistance and cooperation of Parent and Merger Sub as reasonably requested by the Company) shall promptly prepare and file such Other Required Company Filing with the SEC. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Proxy Statement and 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 Nasdaq. The Company may not file the Proxy Statement or any Other Required Company Filing with the SEC without providing Parent and its counsel, to the extent practicable, a reasonable opportunity to review and comment thereon and the Company shall give due consideration to all reasonable additions, deletions or changes suggested thereto by the other Parties or their respective counsel. The Parties shall take the action(s) set forth in Section 6.3(b) of the Company Disclosure Letter.

(c) Furnishing Information. Each of the Company, on the one hand, and Parent and Merger Sub, on the other hand, shall furnish all information concerning it and its Affiliates, if applicable, as the other Party may reasonably request in connection with the preparation and filing with the SEC of the Proxy Statement and any Other Required Company Filing. If at any time prior to the Company Stockholder Meeting any information relating to the Company, Parent, Merger Sub or any of their respective Affiliates should be discovered by the Company, on the one hand, or Parent or Merger Sub, on the other hand, that should be set forth in an amendment or supplement to the Proxy Statement or any Other Required Company Filing, as the case may be, so that such filing would not include any misstatement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, then the Party that discovers such information shall promptly notify the other, and an appropriate amendment or supplement to such filing describing such information shall be promptly prepared and filed with the SEC by the appropriate Party and, to the extent required by applicable law or the SEC or its staff, disseminated to the Company Stockholders.

(d) Consultation Prior to Certain Communications. The Company and its Affiliates, on the one hand, and Parent, Merger Sub and their respective Affiliates, on the other hand, shall provide the other Party a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on any written communication with the SEC or its staff with respect to the Proxy Statement or any Other Required Company Filing, as the case may be, and each Party shall give due consideration to all reasonable additions, deletions or changes suggested thereto by the other Parties or their respective counsel.

62

(e) Notices. The Company, on the one hand, and Parent and Merger Sub, on the other hand, shall advise the other, promptly after it receives notice thereof, of (i) any receipt of a request by the SEC or its staff for any amendment or revisions to the Proxy Statement or any Other Required Company Filing, as the case may be; (ii) any receipt of comments from the SEC or its staff on the Proxy Statement or any Other Required Company Filing, as the case may be; or (iii) any receipt of a request by the SEC or its staff for additional information in connection with the items covered in clauses (i) and (ii) above.

(f) Dissemination of Proxy Statement. Subject to applicable Law, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Proxy Statement to be disseminated to the Company Stockholders as promptly as reasonably practicable, and in no event more than three Business Days, following the filing thereof with the SEC and confirmation from the SEC that it will not review, or that it has completed its review of, the Proxy Statement, which confirmation will be deemed occurred if the SEC has not affirmatively notified the Company by 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on the tenth calendar day following such filing with the SEC that the SEC will or will not be reviewing the Proxy Statement.

6.4 Company Stockholder Meeting.

(a) Call of Company Stockholder Meeting. Subject to Section 5.3, following the clearance of the Proxy Statement by the SEC, the Company shall duly call and hold a meeting of its stockholders (the “Company Stockholder Meeting”) as promptly as reasonably practicable following the mailing of the Proxy Statement to the Company Stockholders for the purpose of obtaining the Requisite Stockholder Approval; provided, however, that in no event shall the Company be required to hold the Company Stockholder Meeting prior to the twentieth Business Day following the mailing of the Proxy Statement.

(b) Adjournment of Company Stockholder Meeting. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, nothing will prevent the Company from postponing or adjourning the Company Stockholder Meeting (i) to allow additional solicitation of votes in order to obtain the Requisite Stockholder Approval; (ii) if there are holders of an insufficient number of shares of the Company Common Stock present or represented by proxy at the Company Stockholder Meeting to constitute a quorum at the Company Stockholder Meeting; (iii) if the Company is required to postpone or adjourn the Company Stockholder Meeting by applicable Law or a request from the SEC or its staff; or (iv) in order to give the Company Stockholders sufficient time to evaluate any information or disclosure that the Company has sent to the Company Stockholders or otherwise made available to the Company Stockholders if, in the good faith judgment of the Company Board (or the Special Committee) (after consultation with outside legal counsel), the failure to do so would be inconsistent with its fiduciary obligations under applicable Law); provided that in the case of the foregoing clause (iv), such postponement or adjournment shall not (x) occur on more than two occasions and (y) be for more than ten Business Days, in each case, without the prior written consent of Parent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); provided, further, that in no event (x) shall the Company Stockholder Meeting be postponed or adjourned beyond the date that is five Business Days prior to the

63

Termination Date or (y) once it is fixed by the Company Board, shall the record date for the Company Stockholder Meeting change (whether or not in connection with any such postponement or adjournment), without the prior written consent of Parent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, the Company will conduct a “broker search” in accordance with Rule 14a-13 of the Exchange Act in a manner to enable the record date for the Company Stockholder Meeting to be set so that the Company Stockholder Meeting can be held promptly following the effectiveness of the Proxy Statement.

6.5 Financing.

(a) No Amendments to Financing Letters. Prior to the Closing, each of Parent and Merger Sub shall not, without the prior written consent of the Company, agree to, or permit any withdrawal, rescindment, amendment, replacement, supplement or modification to be made to, or any waiver of any provision or remedy pursuant to or consent under, the Financing Letters or the definitive agreements relating to the Financing if such withdrawal, rescindment, amendment, replacement, supplement, modification, consent or waiver would, or would reasonably be expected to, (i) reduce the aggregate amount of the Financing (or the cash proceeds available therefrom) below the amount required to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; (ii) impose new or additional conditions precedent to the Financing or otherwise expand, amend or modify any of the existing conditions to the receipt of the Financing; (iii) expand, amend, or modify any other terms to the Financing in a manner that would reasonably be expected to prevent, impair or materially delay the Closing and the funding of the amount of the Financing required to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; or (iv) adversely impact in any material respect the ability of Parent or Merger Sub, as applicable, to enforce its rights against the other parties to the Financing Letters or the definitive agreements with respect thereto (provided that (subject to compliance with the other provisions of this Section 6.5(a)), Parent and Merger Sub may amend the Debt Commitment Letter to (A) add additional lenders, arrangers, bookrunners, managers or agents that have not executed the Debt Commitment Letter as of the date of this Agreement) (it being understood that the aggregate commitments of the Financing Sources party to the Commitment Letters prior to such amendment, modification or waiver (but not the aggregate commitments thereunder) may be reduced in the amount of such additional party’s commitment) or (B) increase the aggregate amount of the Financing. Parent shall promptly furnish to the Company true and complete copies of any amendment, replacement, supplement, modification, consent or waiver relating to the Financing Letters or any definitive agreements relating to the Financing. Upon any amendment, supplement or modification of the Debt Commitment Letter in accordance with this Section 6.5(a), references to the “Financing Letters” and “Debt Commitment Letter” shall include such documents as permitted to be amended, supplemented or modified under this Section 6.5(a), and references to the “Financing” and “Debt Financing” shall include the financing contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letter as permitted to be amended, supplemented or modified under this Section 6.5(a).

(b) Taking of Necessary Actions. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each of Parent and Merger Sub shall use its reasonable best efforts to, and shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause its respective directors, officers, employees, accountants, consultants, legal counsel, financial advisors and other advisors and representatives to, take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper and advisable to arrange, consummate and obtain the Financing (or, in the event any portion or all of

64

the Debt Financing becomes unavailable, Alternate Debt Financing) on a timely basis, but in any event no later than the time the Closing is required to occur pursuant to Section 2.3, on the terms and conditions (including, to the extent required, the full exercise of any “market flex” provisions in any Fee Letter) set forth in the Financing Letters, including, using its reasonable best efforts to (i) maintain in effect the Financing Letters in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions therein; (ii) negotiate, enter into, execute and deliver on the Closing Date definitive agreements with respect to the Debt Financing contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letter and related Fee Letters on a timely basis on the terms and subject only to the conditions (including any “market flex” provisions in the related Fee Letter) set forth in the Debt Commitment Letter and related Fee Letter or on other terms that are not materially less favorable from a conditionality and enforceability perspective (taken as a whole) to Parent than the terms and conditions related to conditionality and enforceability (taken as a whole) set forth in the Debt Commitment Letter (including, to the extent required by the related “market flex” provisions), subject to any amendments, modifications or supplements thereto, or replacements or waivers thereof permitted by Section 6.5(a); (iii) satisfy on a timely basis (or obtain a waiver of) all conditions applicable to Parent or Merger Sub contained in the Debt Commitment Letter and such definitive agreements related thereto and in the Equity Commitment Letters at or prior to the time the Closing is required to occur pursuant to Section 2.3 to the fullest extent such conditions are within its control; (iv) in the event that all conditions contained in the Financing Letters and any related definitive agreements have been satisfied (except those that, by their nature, are to be satisfied at the Closing) or waived, consummate the Financing at or prior to the Closing; (v) comply in all material respects with its covenants or other obligations applicable to Parent and Merger Sub pursuant to the Financing Letters and the definitive documents relating to the Financing in accordance with the terms and conditions thereof at or prior to the time the Closing is required to occur pursuant to Section 2.3; and (vi) enforce its rights pursuant to the Financing Letters at or prior to the Closing.

(c) Information. Parent shall keep the Company reasonably informed on a current basis and in reasonable detail of the status of its reasonable best efforts to arrange the Financing. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Parent and Merger Sub shall give the Company prompt notice in writing of (i) any material breach or default (or any event or circumstance that, with notice or lapse of time or both, would reasonably be expected to give rise to any material breach or default), cancellation, early termination or repudiation by any party to the Financing Letters or definitive agreements related to the Financing; (ii) the receipt by Parent or Merger Sub of any written notice or written communication from any Financing Source with respect to any actual material breach, default, cancellation, early termination or repudiation (or written notice or written communications from lenders or other sources of Debt Financing to Parent or Merger Sub of any such actual or threatened (in writing) material breach, default, cancellation, early termination or repudiation received by Parent or Merger Sub) by any party to the Financing Letters or any definitive agreements related to the Financing of any provisions of the Financing Letters or such definitive agreements; and (iii) Parent or Merger Sub becoming aware of any fact, circumstance, event or other development that would reasonably be expected to result in Parent not being able to timely obtain all or any portion of the Financing in the amount required to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement on the terms, in the manner or from the sources contemplated by the Financing Letters or any definitive agreements related to the Financing. Parent and Merger Sub shall provide any information reasonably requested by the Company relating to any of the circumstances referred to in the previous sentence as promptly as reasonably practical after the date that the Company delivers a written request therefor to Parent.

(d) Alternate Debt Financing. If any portion of the Debt Financing becomes unavailable on the terms and conditions (including any “market flex” provisions in any Fee Letter) contemplated in the Debt Commitment Letter and related Fee Letters, Parent and Merger Sub shall promptly notify the Company in writing and use their respective reasonable best efforts to, as promptly as reasonably practicable following the occurrence of such event (and in any event on or prior to the Closing Date), (i) arrange and obtain the Debt Financing or such portion of the Debt Financing from the same or alternative sources (the “Alternate Debt Financing”) in an amount sufficient, when taken with the available portion of the Financing, to (A) consummate the Closing upon the terms contemplated by this Agreement and (B) pay all other amounts payable by Parent in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided that, in no event shall Parent be required to, and in no event shall its reasonable best efforts be deemed or construed to require it to, obtain alternative financing that includes terms and conditions, taken as a whole, that are less favorable to Parent than the terms and conditions, taken as a whole, set forth in the Debt Commitment Letter as of the date hereof (taking into account any “market flex” provisions applicable thereto contained in the related Fee Letters) or would require it to pay any fees or agree to pay any interest rate amounts or original issue discount, in either case, in excess of those contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letter as in effect on the date hereof (taking into account any “market flex” provisions applicable thereto contained in the related Fee Letters) or which include any conditions to the consummation of such alternative debt financing that would reasonably be expected to make the funding of such alternative debt financing less likely to occur, than the conditions set forth in the Debt Commitment Letter as of the date hereof; provided, further, that such Alternate Debt Financing shall not, without the prior written consent of the Company contain conditions to funding and conditions to Closing that (1) are more onerous (in a manner adverse to the interests of the Company) than those conditions and terms contained in the Debt Commitment Letter and related Fee Letter or (2) would reasonably be expected to materially delay the Closing or make the Closing materially less likely to occur, and (ii) obtain one or more new financing commitment letters with respect to such Alternate Debt Financing (the “New Debt Commitment Letters”), which New Debt Commitment Letters will replace the existing Debt Commitment Letters in whole or in part. Parent will promptly provide a copy of any New Debt Commitment Letters (and any fee letter in connection therewith (which may be redacted solely with respect to fees and other customarily redacted economic provisions (including customary “market flex” terms)) to the Company. Any reference in this Agreement to (X) the “Financing Letters” or the “Debt Commitment Letters” will be deemed to include the Debt Commitment Letters to the extent not superseded by a New Debt Commitment Letter at the time in question and any New Debt Commitment Letters (and any fee letter in connection therewith (which may be redacted solely with respect to fees and other customarily redacted economic provisions (including customary “market flex” terms)) to the extent then in effect, (Y) the “Financing Letters” shall refer to such documents as otherwise amended or modified in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and (Z) the “Financing” means the financing contemplated by the Financing Letters as amended or modified in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

66

(e) No Financing Condition. Parent and Merger Sub each acknowledge and agree that none of the obtaining of the Financing or any Alternate Debt Financing or the Company or any of its Subsidiaries having or maintaining any available cash balances is a condition to the Closing, subject to the applicable conditions set forth in Section 7.1 and Section 7.2.

(d) Use of Logos. The Company hereby consents to the use of its and its Subsidiaries’ logos in connection with the Debt Financing so long as such logos (i) are used solely in a manner that is not intended to, or reasonably likely to, harm or disparage the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or the reputation or goodwill of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; and (ii) are used solely in connection with a description of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, its or their respective businesses and products, or the Merger.

70

necessary for the purpose of planning for integration and transition, except that the Company may restrict or otherwise prohibit access to any documents or information to the extent that (a) any applicable Law or Contract requires the Company to restrict or otherwise prohibit access to such documents or information or providing access to such documents or information would violate or cause a default pursuant to, or give a third Person the right terminate or accelerate the rights pursuant to, such Contract; (b) access to such documents or information would give rise to a material risk of waiving any attorney-client privilege, work product doctrine or other privilege applicable to such documents or information; (c) access would result in the disclosure of any trade secrets (including source code) of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to any third Persons; or (d) such documents or information are reasonably pertinent to any adverse Legal Proceeding between the Company and its Affiliates, on the one hand, and Parent and its Affiliates, on the other hand; provided, that the Company shall inform Parent of the general nature of the information being withheld and, upon Parent’s request, use its commercially reasonable efforts to allow for any access or disclosure in a manner that does not result in the effects set out in clauses (a) through (d), including by making appropriate substitute arrangements.

6.10 Directors’ and Officers’ Exculpation, Indemnification and Insurance.

(a) Indemnified Persons. The Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries shall (and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries to) honor and fulfill, in all respects, the obligations of the Company and its Subsidiaries pursuant to any indemnification agreements between the Company and any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates, on the one hand, and any of their respective current or former directors, officers, or employees (and any person who becomes a director, officer, or employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries prior to the Effective Time), on the other hand (each, together with such Person’s heirs, executors and administrators, an “Indemnified Person” and, collectively, the “Indemnified Persons”). In addition, during the period commencing at the Effective Time and ending on the sixth anniversary of the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries shall (and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries to) cause the Organizational Documents of the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries to contain provisions with respect to indemnification, exculpation and the advancement of expenses that are at least as favorable as the indemnification, exculpation and advancement of expenses provisions set forth in the Organizational Documents of the Company and its Subsidiaries, as of the date of this Agreement. During such six-year period, such provisions may not be repealed, amended or otherwise modified in any adverse manner except as required by applicable Law.

(b) Indemnification Obligation. Without limiting the generality of the provisions of Section 6.10(a), during the period commencing at the Effective Time and ending on the sixth anniversary of the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall (and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to) indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, and any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates in effect on the date of this Agreement shall, indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnified Person from and against any costs, fees and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and investigation expenses), judgments, fines, penalties, losses, claims, damages, liabilities and amounts paid in settlement or compromise in connection with any Legal Proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, whenever asserted, to the extent that such Legal Proceeding arises, directly or indirectly, out of or pertains, directly or indirectly, to (i) the fact that an Indemnified Person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company or such Subsidiary or Affiliate; (ii) any action or omission, or alleged action or omission, in such Indemnified Person’s capacity as a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or other Affiliates, or taken at the request of the Company or such Subsidiary or Affiliate (including in connection with serving at the request of the Company or such Subsidiary or Affiliate as a director, officer, employee, agent, trustee or fiduciary of another Person (including any employee benefit plan), regardless of whether such action or omission, or alleged action or omission, occurred prior to, at or after the Effective Time); and (iii) the Merger, as well as any actions taken by the Company, Parent or Merger Sub with respect thereto (including any disposition of assets of the Surviving Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries that is alleged to have rendered the Surviving Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries insolvent), except that if, at any time prior to the sixth anniversary of the Effective Time, any Indemnified Person delivers to Parent a written notice asserting a claim for indemnification pursuant to this Section 6.10(b), then the claim asserted in such notice will survive the sixth anniversary of the Effective Time until such claim is fully and finally resolved. In the event of any such Legal Proceeding, the Surviving Corporation shall advance all fees and expenses (including fees and expenses of any counsel) as incurred by an Indemnified Person in the defense of such

72

Legal Proceeding. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, none of Parent, the Surviving Corporation nor any of their respective Affiliates shall settle or otherwise compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to, or otherwise seek the termination of, any Legal Proceeding for which indemnification may be sought by an Indemnified Person pursuant to this Agreement unless such settlement, compromise, consent or termination includes an unconditional release of all Indemnified Persons from all liability arising out of such Legal Proceeding. Any determination required to be made with respect to whether the conduct of any Indemnified Person complies or complied with any applicable standard will be made by independent legal counsel selected by the Surviving Corporation (which counsel will be reasonably acceptable to such Indemnified Person), the fees and expenses of which shall be paid by the Surviving Corporation.

(c) D&O Insurance. During the period commencing at the Effective Time and ending on the sixth anniversary of the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall (and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to) maintain in effect the Company’s current directors’ and officers’ liability insurance (“D&O Insurance”) in respect of acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Effective Time on terms (including with respect to coverage, conditions, retentions, limits and amounts) that are equivalent to those of the D&O Insurance. In satisfying its obligations pursuant to this Section 6.10(c), the Surviving Corporation will not be obligated to pay annual premiums in excess of 350% of the amount paid by the Company for coverage for its last full fiscal year (such 350% amount, the “Maximum Annual Premium”). If the annual premiums of such insurance coverage exceed the Maximum Annual Premium, then the Surviving Corporation shall be obligated to obtain a policy with the greatest coverage available for a cost not exceeding the Maximum Annual Premium from an insurance carrier with the same or better credit rating as the Company’s current directors’ and officers’ liability insurance. In satisfaction of the foregoing obligations, prior to the Effective Time the Company may (and at Parent’s request, the Company will) purchase a prepaid “tail” policy with respect to the D&O Insurance so long as the aggregate cost for such “tail” policy does not exceed the Maximum Annual Premium. If the Company elects to purchase such a “tail” policy prior to the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall (and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to) maintain such “tail” policy in full force and effect for a period of no less than six years after the Effective Time and continue to honor its obligations thereunder. If the Company is unable to obtain the “tail” policy and Parent or the Surviving Corporation are unable to obtain the insurance described in this Section 6.10(c) for an annual cost less than or equal to the Maximum Annual Premium, Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to instead obtain as much comparable insurance as possible for an aggregate annual premium equal to the Maximum Annual Premium.

(d) Successors and Assigns. If Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and is not the continuing or Surviving Corporation or entity in such consolidation or merger; or (ii) transfers or conveys all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then proper provisions will be made to the extent such obligations are not otherwise assumed by operation of Law so that the successors and assigns of Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective successors or assigns shall assume all of the obligations of Parent and the Surviving Corporation set forth in this Section 6.10.

73

(e) No Impairment. The obligations set forth in this Section 6.10 may not be terminated, amended or otherwise modified in any manner that adversely affects any Indemnified Person (or any other Person who is a beneficiary pursuant to the D&O Insurance or the “tail” policy referred to in Section 6.10(c) (and their heirs and representatives), the “Other Indemnified Persons”) without the prior written consent of such affected Indemnified Person or Other Indemnified Person. Each of the Indemnified Persons or Other Indemnified Persons are intended to be third party beneficiaries of this Section 6.10, with full rights of enforcement as if a Party. The rights of the Indemnified Persons and Other Indemnified Persons pursuant to this Section 6.10 will be in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other rights that such Persons may have pursuant to (i) the Charter and Bylaws; (ii) the Organizational Documents of the Subsidiaries of the Company; (iii) any and all indemnification agreements entered into with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; or (iv) applicable Law (whether at Law or in equity).

(f) Other Claims. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to, or will be construed to, release, waive or impair any rights to directors’ and officers’ insurance claims pursuant to any applicable insurance policy or indemnification agreement that is or has been in existence with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for any of their respective directors, officers or other employees, it being understood and agreed that the indemnification provided for in this Section 6.10 is not prior to or in substitution for any such claims pursuant to such policies or agreements.

6.11 Employee Matters.

(a) Acknowledgement. Parent hereby acknowledges and agrees that a “change of control” (or similar phrase) within the meaning of each of the Employee Plans, as applicable, will occur as of the Effective Time.

(b) Existing Arrangements. From and after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall (and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to) assume and honor all of the Employee Plans in accordance with their terms as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time.

(c) Employment; Benefits. For a period of 12 months following the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries shall (and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries to) maintain for the benefit of each Continuing Employee (i) a base salary or wage rate, as applicable, and target short-term cash incentive opportunities (including bonus and commission compensation) that are, in each case, no less than those in effect for such Continuing Employee immediately before the Effective Time; (ii) severance and termination benefits that are no less favorable than those applicable to Continuing Employees under the arrangements set forth in Section 3.18(a) of the Company Disclosure Letter; and (iii) other benefit or compensation plans, programs, policies, agreements or arrangements (excluding retention, change-in-control compensation, equity or equity-based plans and arrangements and other similar long-term compensation, nonqualified deferred compensation, retiree medical or welfare arrangements and defined benefit pension benefits) at levels that are substantially comparable in the aggregate to those in effect for Continuing Employees under the Employee Plans as of immediately prior to the Effective Time.

74

(d) New Plans. With respect to each benefit or compensation plan, program, policy, arrangement or agreement that is made available to any Continuing Employee at or after the Effective Time (each such plans, a “New Plan”), the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries shall (and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries to) cause to be granted to such Continuing Employee credit for all service with the Company and its Subsidiaries prior to the Effective Time for purposes of eligibility to participate, vesting and entitlement to benefits where length of service is relevant (including for purposes of vacation accrual and severance entitlement or termination pay), except (A) to the extent that it would result in duplication of coverage or benefits for the same period of service or (B) for purposes of any defined benefit pension plan or plan that provides retiree welfare benefits. In addition, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Parent will cause the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause (i) each Continuing Employee to be immediately eligible to participate, without any waiting period, in any and all New Plans to the extent that coverage pursuant to any such New Plan replaces coverage pursuant to a corresponding Employee Plan (such plans, the “Old Plans”); (ii) for purposes of each New Plan providing life insurance, medical, dental, pharmaceutical, vision or disability benefits, all waiting periods, pre-existing condition exclusions, evidence of insurability requirements and actively-at-work or similar requirements of such New Plan to be waived for the Continuing Employees and their covered dependents to the extent such conditions were inapplicable, met or waived under the comparable Employee Plan in which such Continuing Employee participated immediately prior to the Effective time; (iii) for purposes of each New Plan providing medical, dental, pharmaceutical, or vision benefits, any eligible expenses incurred by the Continuing Employees and their covered dependents during the portion of the plan year of the Old Plan ending on the date that Continuing Employees’ participation in the corresponding New Plan begins, if such participation begins in the year in which the Effective Time occurs, to be given full credit pursuant to such New Plan for purposes of satisfying all deductible, coinsurance and maximum out-of-pocket requirements applicable to such Continuing Employees and their covered dependents for the applicable plan year as if such amounts had been paid in accordance with such New Plan; and (iv) to credit the accounts of the Continuing Employees pursuant to any New Plan that is a flexible spending account plan with any unused balances in the account of such Continuing Employees under the Old Plan that is a flexible spending account plan. Any vacation or paid time off accrued but unused by a Continuing Employee as of immediately prior to the Effective Time will be credited to such Continuing Employee following the Effective Time and will not be subject to accrual limits or other forfeitures, except as required by the terms of such vacation or time off policies as determined by Parent and its Affiliates from time to time.

(e) No Third-Party Beneficiary Rights. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, this Section 6.11 will not be deemed to: (i) guarantee employment for any period of time for, or preclude the ability of Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective Subsidiaries to terminate any Continuing Employee; (ii) amend any Employee Plan or New Plan; or (iii) create any third party beneficiary rights in any Continuing Employee (or beneficiary or dependent thereof).

75

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

6.13 Notification of Certain Matters. Each of the Company and Parent will give prompt notice to the other (and will subsequently keep the other informed on a reasonably current basis of any material developments related to such notice) upon its becoming aware of the occurrence or existence of any change, event, effect, occurrence or development that (a) with respect to the Company, has had or would reasonably be expected have a Company Material Adverse Effect, (b) with respect to Parent or Merger Sub, has had or would reasonably be expected to have a Parent Material Adverse Effect and/or (c) is reasonably likely to result in any of the conditions set forth in Article VII not being able to be satisfied prior to the Termination Date. No notification given by any party pursuant to this Section 6.13 shall limit or otherwise affect any of the representations, warranties, covenants, obligations or conditions contained in this Agreement. The Company’s or Parent’s failure to comply with this Section 6.13 will not be taken into account for purposes of determining whether any conditions set forth in Article VII to consummate the Merger have been satisfied.

6.14 Public Statements and Disclosure. The initial press release with respect to the execution of this Agreement shall be a joint press release in the form reasonably agreed to by the Parties, and following such initial press release, the Company and Parent shall consult with each other before issuing, and give each other the opportunity to review and comment upon, any press release or other public statements with respect to the Merger and shall not issue any such press release or make any such public statement prior to such consultation, except as such party may reasonably conclude may be required by applicable Law, court process or by obligations pursuant to any listing agreement with any national securities exchange or national securities quotation system (and then only after as much advance notice as is feasible); provided that the Company shall not be obligated to engage in such consultation with respect to communications (including communications directed to employees, suppliers, customers, partners, vendors or stockholders) that are consistent with public statements previously made in accordance with this Section 6.14; provided, further, that the restrictions set forth in this Section 6.14 shall not apply to any release or public statement (a) made or proposed to be made by the Company with respect to an Acquisition Proposal, a Superior Proposal or a Company Board Recommendation Change or any action taken pursuant thereto or (b) in connection with any dispute between the parties regarding this Agreement or the Merger. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Parent, Merger Sub and their respective Affiliates may provide ordinary course communications regarding this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby to existing or prospective general and limited partners, equity holders, members, managers and investors of any Affiliates of such Person, in each case, who are subject to customary confidentiality restrictions.

the Parent Termination Fee is payable pursuant to Section 8.3(c) and for the Company to receive the Parent Termination Fee plus the Reimbursement Obligations and Enforcement Expenses (if any) from Parent (or the Guarantors under the Guarantees, to the extent provided therein and subject to the limitations set forth therein) or (ii) for the Company to terminate this Agreement and seek to recover monetary damages from Parent or Merger Sub for Willful and Material Breach; provided that in no event will any of (A) the Company, its Subsidiaries and each of their respective Affiliates; and (B) the former, current and future directors, managers, officers, employees, counsel, financial advisors, auditors, agents, other authorized representatives, direct or indirect general or limited partners, stockholders, equityholders, members, Affiliates, successors, beneficiaries, heirs and assignees of the Company and any of the foregoing’s respective former, current and future directors, managers, officers, employees, counsel, financial advisors, auditors, agents, other authorized representatives, direct or indirect general or limited partners, stockholders, equityholders, members, Affiliates, successors, beneficiaries, heirs and assignees (the Persons in this clause (B), collectively, the “Company Related Parties”) be entitled to seek or obtain, nor will they permit any of their Representatives or any other Person acting on their behalf to seek or obtain, nor will any Person be entitled to seek or obtain, any recovery or award, any monetary damages of any kind, including consequential, special, indirect or punitive damages (other than the payment by Parent (or the Guarantors under and in accordance with the Guarantees to the extent provided therein and subject to the limitations therein) of the Parent Termination Fee, the Enforcement Expenses and the Reimbursement Obligations to the extent payable by Parent pursuant to Section 8.3(c)) against Parent, Merger Sub or the Parent Related Parties. For the avoidance of doubt, none of Parent, Merger Sub or the Parent Related Parties (other than Parent and Merger Sub to the extent set forth in this Agreement and the Guarantors solely to the extent set forth in the Guarantees) will have any liability to any person, including any Company Related Party, relating to, arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, the Equity Commitment Letters or the Guarantees, any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (or the abandonment or termination thereof) or any matters forming the basis for such termination (including in the event of Willful and Material Breach) or in respect of any other document or theory of Law or equity or in respect of any oral representations made or alleged to be made in connection herewith or therewith, whether at Law or equity in contract, in tort or otherwise. The Parties acknowledge and agree that, while the Company may pursue a grant of specific performance in accordance with Section 9.8 and payment of the Parent Termination Fee or monetary damages, in no event shall the Company be entitled to obtain (1) both (x) a grant of specific performance pursuant to Section 9.8 that results in the Closing occurring, on the one hand, and (y) the payment of any monetary damages whatsoever (including payment of the Parent Termination Fee in accordance with Section 8.3(c)), on the other hand or (2) both payment of any monetary damages whatsoever, on the one hand, and payment of the Parent Termination Fee in accordance with Section 8.3(c), on the other hand.

The Parent Termination Fee, the Reimbursement Obligations and the Enforcement Expenses shall be the maximum aggregate liability (including in the case of fraud or Willful and Material Breach) of Parent and Merger Sub hereunder (and of the Guarantors under the Guarantees).

84

(ii) Parent’s receipt of the Company Termination Fee, any Enforcement Expenses, to the extent owed pursuant to Section 8.3(b), and Parent’s right to specific performance pursuant to Section 9.8 (subject to the fourth sentence of this Section 8.3(e)(ii)) will be the sole and exclusive remedies of Parent and Merger Sub and each of their respective Affiliates and the Parent Related Parties and the Financing Sources against the Company Related Parties in respect of this Agreement, any agreement executed in connection herewith and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and upon payment of the Company Termination Fee, none of the Company Related Parties will have any further liability or obligation to Parent or Merger Sub or any Parent Related Parties or Financing Sources relating to or arising out of this Agreement, any agreement executed in connection herewith or the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby (except that the Parties (or their Affiliates) will remain obligated with respect to, and Parent and Merger Sub and its Subsidiaries may be entitled to remedies with respect to, the Confidentiality Agreement, the Enforcement Expenses and Section 8.3(a), as applicable). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if the Company breaches this Agreement (whether such breach is knowing, deliberate, willful, unintentional, a Willful and Material Breach or otherwise) or fails to perform hereunder (whether such failure is knowing, deliberate, willful, unintentional, a Willful and Material Breach or otherwise), then, except for specific performance to the extent permitted by Section 9.8, the sole and exclusive remedies (whether at Law, in equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise) against the Company or any related Company Related Party for any breach, loss or failure to perform, which recourse shall be solely against the Company to the extent provided herein and subject to the limitations set forth herein, will be (i) if applicable, for Parent to terminate this Agreement in accordance with this Agreement under the circumstances in which the Company Termination Fee is payable pursuant to Section 8.3(b) and receive the Company Termination Fee plus any Enforcement Expenses or (ii) for Parent to terminate this Agreement and Parent or Merger Sub to seek to recover monetary damages from the Company for Willful and Material Breach; provided that in no event will any of the Parent Related Parties seek or obtain, nor will they permit any of their Representatives or any other Person acting on their behalf to seek or obtain, nor will any Person be entitled to seek or obtain, any recovery or award, any monetary damages of any kind, including consequential, special, indirect or punitive damages (other than the payment by the Company of the Company Termination Fee and any Enforcement Expenses against the Company Related Parties). For the avoidance of doubt, none of the Company Related Parties (other than the Company to the extent set forth in this Agreement) will have any liability to any person, including any Parent Related Party, relating to, arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or the Transactions (or the abandonment or termination thereof) or any matters forming the basis for such termination (including in the event of Willful and Material Breach) or in respect of any other document or theory of Law or equity or in respect of any oral representations made or alleged to be made in connection herewith or therewith, whether at Law or equity in contract, in tort or otherwise. The Parties acknowledge and agree that, while Parent may pursue a grant of specific performance in accordance with Section 9.8 and payment of the Company Termination Fee or monetary damages, in no event shall Parent be entitled to obtain (1) both (x) a grant of specific performance pursuant to Section 9.8 that results in the Closing occurring, on the one hand, and (y) the payment of any monetary damages whatsoever, and the payment of the Company Termination Fee in accordance with Section 8.3(b), on the other hand or (2) both payment of any monetary damages in connection with the termination of this Agreement, on the one hand, and payment of the Company Termination Fee in accordance with Section 8.3(b), on the other hand. In no event shall the Company or any of its Subsidiaries have liability for

85

monetary damages (including monetary damages in lieu of specific performance and damages pursuant to the penultimate sentence of Section 8.2(b)) in the aggregate in excess of the amount of the Parent Termination Fee plus any Enforcement Expenses, which shall be the maximum aggregate liability (including in the case of fraud or Willful and Material Breach) of the Company and its Subsidiaries with respect to any and all claims under or relating to this Agreement and the Transactions.

(f) Acknowledgments. The Parties acknowledge that the agreements contained in this Section 8.3 are an integral part of this Agreement and that, without Section 8.3(b), Parent would not have entered into this Agreement and that, without Section 8.3(c), the Company would not have entered into this Agreement. Accordingly, if the Company or Parent fails to promptly pay any amount due pursuant to this Section 8.3, and, in order to obtain such payment, the recipient Party commences a Legal Proceeding that results in a judgment against the non-paying Party for the amount set forth in Section 8.3 or any portion thereof, the non-paying Party shall pay to the recipient Party the recipient Party’s reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees, costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) in connection with such Legal Proceeding (collectively, the “Enforcement Expenses”), which Enforcement Expenses shall not exceed $5 million. Each of the Parties acknowledges that the Company Termination Fee and the Parent Termination Fee, do not constitute a penalty, but rather shall constitute liquidated damages in a reasonable amount that will compensate a party for the disposition of its rights under this Agreement in the circumstances in which such amounts are due and payable, which amounts would otherwise be impossible to calculate with precision.

8.4 Amendment. Subject to applicable Law and subject to the other provisions of this Agreement, this Agreement may be amended by the Parties at any time by execution of an instrument in writing signed on behalf of each of Parent, Merger Sub and the Company (pursuant to authorized action by the Company Board or the Special Committee), except that in the event that the Company has received the Requisite Stockholder Approval, no amendment may be made to this Agreement that requires the approval of the Company Stockholders pursuant to the DGCL without such approval. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Section 8.3(e), this last sentence of Section 8.4, the last sentence of Section 9.6, Section 9.10(b), Section 9.11 and Section 9.12(c) (and any other provision or definition of this Agreement (including the definition of “Financing Sources” to the extent a modification, waiver or termination of such provision would modify the substance of any of the foregoing provisions) may not be amended, supplemented, waived or otherwise modified in any manner that is materially adverse to the Financing Sources without the prior written consent of the materially adverse affected Financing Sources (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

8.5 Extension; Waiver. At any time and from time to time prior to the Effective Time, Parent and the Company may, to the extent legally allowed and except as otherwise set forth herein, (a) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the other Party, as applicable; (b) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties of the other Party contained herein or in any document delivered pursuant hereto; and (c) subject to the requirements of applicable Law, waive compliance by the other Party with any of the agreements or conditions contained herein applicable to such Party (it being understood that Parent and Merger Sub shall be deemed a single Party solely for purposes of this Section 8.5). Any agreement on the part of a Party to any such extension or waiver will be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed by such Party. Any delay in exercising any right pursuant to this Agreement will not constitute a waiver of such right.

88

This Agreement and the documents and instruments and other agreements among the Parties as contemplated by or referred to herein, including the Confidentiality Agreement, the Company Disclosure Letter, the Parent Disclosure Letter, the Voting Agreements, the Guarantees and the Financing Letters, constitute the entire agreement among the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. The Confidentiality Agreement will (a) not be superseded; (b) survive any termination of this Agreement; and (c) continue in full force and effect until the earlier to occur of the Effective Time and the date on which the Confidentiality Agreement expires in accordance with its terms or is validly terminated by the parties thereto.

9.6 Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is not intended to and shall not confer any rights or remedies upon any person other than the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns, except (a) as set forth in or as contemplated by Section 6.10, (b) if the Closing occurs, for the right of the holders of Company Common Stock, Company Options or Company RSUs to receive the Per Share Price and the Vested Equity Award Consideration, respectively, in each case after the Effective Time and (c) as set forth in or contemplated by Section 8.3(e).

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

9.8 Remedies.

(a) Remedies Cumulative. Except as otherwise provided herein (including Section 8.3(d)), any and all remedies herein expressly conferred upon a Party will be deemed cumulative with and not exclusive of any other remedy conferred hereby or by Law or equity upon such Party, and the exercise by a Party of any one remedy will not preclude the exercise of any other remedy. Although the Company may pursue both a grant of specific performance and monetary damages, under no circumstances will the Company be permitted or entitled to receive both (x) a grant of specific performance that results in the occurrence of the Closing and (y) monetary damages (including the Parent Termination Fee or any monetary damages in lieu of specific performance).

(b) Specific Performance.

89

(i) Subject to the limitations set forth in this Agreement, the Parties acknowledge and agree that (A) irreparable damage for which monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy would occur in the event that the Parties do not perform the provisions of this Agreement (including any Party failing to take such actions as are required of it hereunder in order to consummate this Agreement) in accordance with its specified terms or otherwise breach such provisions; (B) the Parties will be entitled, in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at Law or in equity, to an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief to prevent breaches (or threatened breaches) of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof (including the Company’s right to specific performance to cause Parent and Merger Sub to comply with Section 6.5); (C) the ability of either Party to recover damages for fraud or any Willful and Material Breach of this Agreement (subject to Section 8.3(e)) is not intended to and does not adequately compensate the Company, on the one hand, or Parent and Merger Sub, on the other hand, for the harm that would result from a breach of this Agreement, and will not be construed to diminish or otherwise impair in any respect any Party’s right to an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief; and (D) the right of specific enforcement is an integral part of the Merger and without that right, neither the Company nor Parent would have entered into this Agreement. The Parties agree not to raise any objections, other than those based on the limitations of a Party’s right to such relief under this Agreement, to (I) the granting of an injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief to prevent or restrain breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement by the Company, on the one hand, or Parent and Merger Sub, on the other hand; and (II) the specific performance of the terms and provisions of this Agreement to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of, or to enforce compliance with, the covenants, obligations and agreements of Parent and Merger Sub pursuant to this Agreement. 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 such injunction or enforcement, and each Party irrevocably waives any right that it may have to require the obtaining, furnishing or posting of any such bond or other security. The Parties further agree that, unless and until any such relief is granted, (x) by seeking the remedies provided for in this Section 9.8, a Party shall not in any respect waive its right to seek any other form of relief that may be available to a Party under this Agreement, and (y) nothing set forth in this Section 9.8 shall require any Party to institute any proceeding for (or limit any party’s right to institute any proceeding for) specific performance under this Section 9.8 prior to, or as a condition to, exercising any termination right under Article VIII (and pursuing damages after such termination to the extent permitted hereunder), nor shall the commencement of any Legal Proceeding pursuant to this Section 9.8 or anything set forth in this Section 9.8 restrict or limit any Party’s right to terminate this Agreement in accordance with the terms of Article VIII or pursue any other remedies under this Agreement that may be available then or thereafter.

(ii) Notwithstanding Section 9.8(b)(i), it is acknowledged and agreed that the Company will be entitled to an injunction, specific performance or other equitable remedy to cause Parent and Merger Sub to consummate the Closing only in the event that (A) all of the conditions set forth in Section 7.1 and Section 7.2 have been satisfied (other than those conditions that by their terms are to be satisfied at the Closing, each of which is capable of being satisfied at the Closing), (B) Parent and Merger Sub fail to consummate the Closing by the date the Closing is required to have occurred pursuant to Section 2.3, (C) all of the conditions to the consummation of the Debt Financing provided by the Debt Commitment Letter have been satisfied (other than the receipt of the Equity Financing and the satisfaction of those conditions that by their terms are to be satisfied at the Closing, each of which is capable of being satisfied at the Closing) and the full amount of the Debt Financing has been funded or would be expected to be funded at the Closing in accordance with the terms of the Debt Commitment Letter if the Equity Financing were

90

funded at the Closing, (D) the transactions contemplated by the Preferred Equity Financing have been consummated or would be consummated in accordance with the terms thereof if the Closing were to occur, and (E) the Company has irrevocably confirmed in a written notice to Parent that all of the conditions set forth in Section 7.1 and Section 7.2 have been satisfied (other than those conditions that by their terms are to be satisfied at the Closing, each of which is capable of being satisfied at the Closing), and that the Company is prepared to consummate the Closing.

Each of Parent, Merger Sub and the Company agrees that a final judgment in any Legal Proceeding in the Chosen Courts will be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by applicable Law.

91

The Parties hereto further agree that all of the provisions of Section 9.11 related to waiver of jury trial shall apply to any Legal Proceeding, cause of action, claim, cross-claim or third-party claim referenced in this sentence.
