NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and of the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement, the parties, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:

ARTICLE I.

THE OFFER

Section 1.01 The Offer.

(a) As promptly as practicable after the date of this Agreement, Merger Sub shall (and Parent shall cause Merger Sub to) commence (within the meaning of Rule 14d-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Exchange Act”)) the Offer.

(b) The obligation of Merger Sub to accept for payment and pay for any shares of Company Common Stock validly tendered and not validly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer shall be subject to: (i) there being validly tendered in the Offer and not validly withdrawn prior to any then scheduled Expiration Time that number of shares of Company Common Stock which, together with the shares beneficially owned by Parent or

Merger Sub (if any), represents the greater of (A) a majority of the total number of shares of Company Common Stock outstanding without giving effect to the Top-Up Shares and (B) one share more than ninety percent (90%) of the total number of shares of Company Common Stock outstanding immediately after the issuance of the Top-Up Shares, calculated on a fully diluted basis (which assumes the conversion or exercise of all Company Stock Options and other derivative securities and the vesting and/or exercise of all other Company Stock Awards, in each case, regardless of the conversion or exercise price, the vesting schedule or other terms and conditions thereof) (the “Minimum Condition”); and (ii) the satisfaction, or waiver by Parent or Merger Sub, of the other conditions and requirements set forth in Exhibit A (together with the Minimum Condition, the “Offer Conditions”). Subject to the prior satisfaction of the Minimum Condition and the satisfaction, or waiver by Parent or Merger Sub, of the other Offer Conditions, Merger Sub shall (and Parent shall cause Merger Sub to) consummate the Offer in accordance with its terms and accept for payment and pay for all shares of Company Common Stock validly tendered and not validly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer as promptly as practicable after the Expiration Time; provided that if, at or prior to any Expiration Time, Parent delivers a notice to the Company representing that the full amount of the Debt Financing has not been funded and would not be available to be funded at the consummation of the Offer if such Expiration Time were not extended, then Purchaser may (on one occasion only) extend the Offer and such Expiration Time for up to ten (10) Business Days in its sole discretion. The Offer Price payable in respect of each share of Company Common Stock validly tendered and not validly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer shall be paid net to the seller in cash, without interest, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement.

(c) The Offer shall be made by means of an offer to purchase (the “Offer to Purchase”) that describes the terms and conditions of the Offer as set forth in this Agreement, including the Offer Conditions. Parent and Merger Sub expressly reserve the right (in their sole discretion) to waive, in whole or in part, any Offer Condition, to increase the Offer Price or to make any other changes in the terms and conditions of the Offer; provided, however, that unless otherwise provided by this Agreement or as previously approved in writing by the Company, Merger Sub shall not (i) reduce the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to the Offer, (ii) reduce the Offer Price, (iii) change, modify or waive the Minimum Condition, (iv) add to the conditions set forth in Exhibit A or modify or change any Offer Condition in a manner adverse in any material respect to any shareholders of the Company, (v) except as otherwise provided in this Section 1.01, extend or otherwise change the expiration date of the Offer, (vi) change the form of consideration payable in the Offer or (vii) otherwise amend, modify or supplement any of the terms of the Offer in a manner adverse in any material respect to any shareholders of the Company.

(d) The Offer shall expire at midnight (Minneapolis time) on the date that is twenty (20) Business Days following the commencement (within the meaning of Rule 14d-2 under the Exchange Act) of the Offer, determined as set forth in Rule 14d-1(g)(3) and Rule 14e-1(a) under the Exchange Act (the “Initial Expiration Time”), or, in the event the Initial Expiration Time has been extended pursuant to this Agreement, the date

and time to which the Offer has been so extended (the Initial Expiration Time, or such later date and time to which the Initial Expiration Time has been extended pursuant to this Agreement, is referred to as the “Expiration Time”).

(e) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, and without limiting Parent’s or Merger Sub’s obligations under this Section 1.01(e), Merger Sub (i) may, in its sole discretion, without consent of the Company, extend the Offer on one or more occasions for any period, if on any then-scheduled Expiration Time any of the Offer Conditions shall not be satisfied or, in Merger Sub’s sole discretion, waived, until such time as such condition or conditions are satisfied or waived and (ii) shall extend the Offer for any period required by applicable Law, any interpretation or position of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), the staff thereof or the NASDAQ Capital Market (“NASDAQ”) applicable to the Offer, and until any waiting period (and any extension thereof) applicable to the consummation of the Offer under any applicable antitrust, competition or similar Law shall have expired or been terminated; provided, however, that in no event shall Merger Sub be required to extend the Offer (A) beyond January 31, 2018 (the “Outside Date”) or (B) at any time that Parent or Merger Sub is permitted to terminate this Agreement pursuant to ARTICLE VIII.

(f) On the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, Merger Sub shall, and Parent shall cause Merger Sub to, accept and pay for (subject to any withholding of tax pursuant to Section 3.05) all shares of Company Common Stock validly tendered and not validly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer as soon as practicable after the Expiration Time (as it may be extended and re-extended in accordance with this Section 1.01). Acceptance for payment of shares of Company Common Stock pursuant to and subject to the Offer Conditions upon the Expiration Time is referred to in this Agreement as the “Offer Closing”, and the date on which the Offer Closing occurs is referred to in this Agreement as the “Offer Closing Date”. Merger Sub expressly reserves the right to, in its sole discretion, following the Offer Closing, extend the Offer for a “subsequent offering period” (and one or more extensions thereof) in accordance with Rule 14d-11 under the Exchange Act, and the Offer Documents (as defined below) may, in Merger Sub’s sole discretion, provide for such a reservation of right. Nothing contained in this Section 1.01 shall affect any termination rights in ARTICLE VIII.

(g) Merger Sub shall not terminate the Offer prior to any scheduled Expiration Time without the prior written consent of the Company except in the event that this Agreement is terminated pursuant to ARTICLE VIII. If the Offer is terminated or withdrawn by Merger Sub, or this Agreement is terminated pursuant to ARTICLE VIII, prior to the acceptance for payment of the Company Common Stock tendered in the Offer, Merger Sub shall promptly return, and shall cause any depository acting on behalf of Merger Sub to return, all tendered Company Common Stock to the registered holders thereof.

(h) As soon as practicable on the date of the commencement of the Offer, Parent and Merger Sub shall file with the SEC a Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO with respect to the Offer (together with all amendments, modifications, supplements and

exhibits thereto, the “Schedule TO”). The Schedule TO shall include, as exhibits, the Offer to Purchase and a form of letter of transmittal and summary advertisement (such Schedule TO and the documents included therein pursuant to which the Offer will be made, together with any amendments, modifications and supplements thereto, the “Offer Documents”). The Company agrees to promptly furnish to Parent and Merger Sub all information concerning the Company required by the Exchange Act to be set forth in the Offer Documents. Parent and Merger Sub agree to take all steps necessary to cause the Offer Documents to be filed with the SEC and disseminated to the shareholders of the Company, in each case as and to the extent required by the Exchange Act. Parent and Merger Sub, on the one hand, and the Company, on the other hand, agree to promptly correct any information provided by it for use in the Offer Documents if and to the extent that such information shall have become false or misleading in any material respect or as otherwise required by applicable Law. Parent and Merger Sub further agree to take all steps necessary to cause the Offer Documents, as so corrected (if applicable), to be filed with the SEC and disseminated to the shareholders of the Company, in each case as and to the extent required by the Exchange Act. Parent and Merger Sub shall promptly notify the Company upon the receipt of any comments from the SEC, or any request from the SEC for amendments or supplements, to the Offer Documents, and shall promptly provide the Company with copies of all correspondence between them and their representatives, on the one hand, and the SEC, on the other hand. Prior to the filing of the Offer Documents (including any amendments, modifications or supplements thereto) with the SEC or dissemination thereof to the shareholders of the Company, or responding to any comments of the SEC with respect to the Offer Documents, Parent and Merger Sub shall provide the Company and its counsel a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such Offer Documents or response (including, if applicable, participation in the formulation of any written response(s) to any comments of the SEC with respect to the Offer Documents), and Parent and Merger Sub shall give reasonable consideration to any such comments.

(i) Parent and Merger Sub shall, on the same date that the Offer is commenced, file with the Commissioner of Commerce of the State of Minnesota and deliver to the Company a registration statement relating to the Offer required to be filed pursuant to Chapter 80B of Minnesota Statutes and will disseminate to the shareholders of the Company the information specified in Chapter 80B.03 of the Minnesota Statutes. Parent and Merger Sub shall promptly provide copies to the Company of any and all correspondence between them and the Minnesota Department of Commerce with respect to compliance with Chapter 80B, and shall promptly respond as soon as possible to address any such comments or actions required by the Minnesota Department of Commerce to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(j) Subject to the prior satisfaction, or waiver by Parent or Merger Sub, of the Offer Conditions, Parent shall provide or cause to be provided to Merger Sub the funds necessary to pay for any shares of Company Common Stock that Merger Sub becomes obligated to accept for payment, and pay for, pursuant to the Offer.

(k) For purposes of this Agreement and the Offer, unless mutually agreed by Parent and the Company, any shares of Company Common Stock subject to notices of guaranteed delivery shall be deemed not to be validly tendered into the Offer (including for purposes of determining whether the Minimum Condition has been satisfied) unless and until the shares of Company Common Stock underlying such notices of guaranteed delivery are delivered to or on behalf of Merger Sub.

Section 1.02 Company Actions.

(a) As soon as practicable following the date the Offer Documents are filed with the SEC, but in no event later than five Business Days after the filing of the Schedule TO (or such other date as mutually agreed upon by the parties), the Company shall file with the SEC a Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9 with respect to the Offer (together with all amendments, modifications, supplements and exhibits thereto, the “Schedule 14D-9”) that shall, subject to the provisions of Section 6.04, contain the recommendation described in Section 4.03(d). The Company agrees to take all steps necessary to cause the Schedule 14D-9 to be prepared and filed with the SEC and disseminated to the shareholders of the Company, in each case as and to the extent required by the Exchange Act. Parent and Merger Sub shall promptly furnish to the Company all information concerning Parent and Merger Sub required by the Exchange Act to be set forth in the Schedule 14D-9. The Company, on the one hand, and Parent and Merger Sub, on the other hand, agree to promptly correct any information provided by it for use in the Schedule 14D-9 if and to the extent that such information shall have become false or misleading in any material respect or as otherwise required by applicable Law. The Company further agrees to take all steps necessary to cause the Schedule 14D-9, as so corrected (if applicable), to be filed with the SEC and disseminated to the shareholders of the Company, in each case as and to the extent required by the Exchange Act. The Company shall promptly notify Parent and Merger Sub upon the receipt of any comments from the SEC, or any request from the SEC for amendments or supplements, to the Schedule 14D-9, and shall promptly provide Parent and Merger Sub with copies of all correspondence between it and its representatives, on the one hand, and the SEC, on the other hand. Prior to the filing of the Schedule 14D-9 (including any amendments, modifications or supplements thereto) with the SEC or dissemination thereof to the shareholders of the Company, or responding to any comments of the SEC with respect to the Schedule 14D-9, the Company shall provide Parent, Merger Sub and their counsel a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such Schedule 14D-9 or response (including, if applicable, participation in the formulation of any written response(s) to any comments of the SEC with respect to the Schedule 14D-9), and the Company shall give reasonable consideration to any such comments. The Company hereby consents to the inclusion in the Offer Documents of a copy of the Schedule 14D-9 and/or a description of the Company Board Recommendation contained in the Schedule 14D-9.

(b) In connection with the Offer, the Company shall promptly (and no later than the date hereof) furnish or cause to be furnished to Parent and Merger Sub mailing labels, security position listings and any other available (or reasonably producible) listings or computer files containing the names and addresses of the record holders and

beneficial owners of the shares of Company Common Stock as of the most recent practicable date, and shall promptly furnish Parent and Merger Sub with such information and assistance (including lists of record holders and beneficial owners of the shares of Company Common Stock, updated from time to time upon Parent’s, Merger Sub’s or either of their respective agent’s request, and the addresses, mailing labels and lists of security positions of such record holders or beneficial owners) as Parent, Merger Sub or its agent may reasonably request for the purpose of communicating the Offer to the record holders and beneficial owners of the shares of Company Common Stock.

Section 1.03 Directors.

(a) Effective upon the Offer Closing and at all times thereafter, Parent shall be entitled to elect, appoint and/or designate the number of directors, rounded up to the next whole number, on the Company Board that equals the product of (i) the total number of directors on the Company Board (giving effect to the election of any additional directors pursuant to this Section 1.03) and (ii) the percentage that the number of shares of Company Common Stock beneficially owned by Parent and/or Merger Sub (including shares accepted for payment pursuant to the Offer) bears to the total number of shares of Company Common Stock outstanding, and the Company shall cause Parent’s designees to be elected or appointed to the Company Board, including by increasing the number of directors, seeking and accepting resignations of incumbent directors and filling newly created directorships or vacancies on the Company Board with Parent’s designees. At such time, the Company shall also cause individuals designated by Parent to constitute the number of members, rounded up to the next whole number, on (A) each committee of the Company Board and (B) as requested by Parent, each board of directors of each Subsidiary of the Company (and each committee thereof) that represents the same percentage as such individuals represent on the Company Board. After the Offer Closing, the Company shall also, upon Parent’s request, take all action necessary to elect to be treated as a “controlled company” as defined by NASDAQ Marketplace Rule 4350(c) and make all necessary filings and disclosures associated with such status.

(b) The Company’s obligations to appoint Parent’s designees to the Company Board shall be subject to Section 14(f) of the Exchange Act and Rule 14f-1 promulgated thereunder. The Company shall promptly take all actions necessary to effect the appointment of Parent’s designees, including mailing to its shareholders information with respect to the Company and its officers and directors, as Section 14(f) and Rule 14f-1 require in order to fulfill its obligations under this Section 1.01(b), which, unless Parent otherwise elects, shall be mailed together with the Schedule 14D-9. Parent shall supply to the Company in writing and be solely responsible for any information with respect to itself and its nominees, officers, directors and affiliates required by Section 14(f) and Rule 14f-1 and the Company’s obligations under Section 1.01(a) hereof shall be subject to the receipt of such information.

(c) Following the election or appointment of Parent’s designees pursuant to Section 1.03(a) and until the Effective Time (as defined in Section 2.03 hereof), the approval of a majority of the directors of the Company then in office who were not designated by Parent (the “Independent Directors”) shall be required to authorize (and

such authorization shall constitute the authorization of the Company Board and no other action on the part of the Company, including any action by any other director of the Company, shall be required to authorize) (i) any termination of this Agreement by the Company, (ii) any amendment of this Agreement requiring action by the Company Board, (iii) any extension of time for performance of any obligation or action hereunder by Parent or Merger Sub, and (iv) any waiver of compliance with any of the agreements or conditions contained herein for the benefit of the Company.

(d) For avoidance of doubt, the provisions of this Section 1.03 are in addition to and shall not limit any rights that any of Merger Sub, Parent or any of their respective Affiliates may have as a record holder or beneficial owner of shares of Company Common Stock as a matter of applicable Law.

Section 1.04 Top-Up Option.

(a) The Company hereby grants to Merger Sub an irrevocable option (the “Top-Up Option”), exercisable only on the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 1.04, to purchase at a price per share equal to the Offer Price paid in the Offer up to that number of newly issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares of Company Common Stock (the “Top-Up Shares”) equal to the lowest number of shares of Company Common Stock that, when added to the number of shares of Company Common Stock owned by Parent and its Subsidiaries (including Merger Sub) at the time of exercise of the Top-Up Option, shall constitute one share more than ninety percent (90%) of the total number of shares of Company Common Stock outstanding immediately after the issuance of the Top-Up Shares, calculated on a fully diluted basis (which assumes the conversion or exercise of all Company Stock Options and other derivative securities and the vesting and/or exercise of all other Company Stock Awards, in each case, regardless of the conversion or exercise price, the vesting schedule or other terms and conditions thereof); provided, however, that (i) the Top-Up Option shall not be exercisable for a number of shares of Company Common Stock in excess of the shares of Company Common Stock authorized and unissued of the Company at the time of exercise of the Top-Up Option (giving effect to the shares of Company Common Stock issuable pursuant to all then-outstanding Company Stock Options, Company Stock Awards and/or other share options, restricted stock units and any other rights to acquire Company Common Stock as if such shares were outstanding); (ii) the exercise of the Top-Up Option and the issuance and delivery of the Top-Up Shares shall not be prohibited by any Law or Order and (iii) the Company has no obligation to issue shares under the Top-Up Option unless a majority of the shares of Company Common Stock then outstanding have been tendered and not withdrawn from the Offer. Upon Parent’s request, the Company shall use its best efforts to cause its transfer agent to certify in writing to Parent the number of shares of Company Common Stock outstanding as of immediately prior to the exercise of the Top-Up Option and after giving effect to the issuance of the Top-Up Shares. The parties shall cooperate to ensure that the issuance of the Top-Up Shares is accomplished consistent with applicable Law (other than any Law that requires shareholder approval for the issuance of the Top-Up Shares). The Top-Up Option shall be exercisable only once, in whole but not

in part, at any time following the Offer Closing and prior to the earlier to occur of (A) the Effective Time and (B) the termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms.

(b) In the event Merger Sub wishes to exercise the Top-Up Option, Merger Sub shall deliver to the Company: (x) at least three Business Days’ prior written notice of its intention to do so and (y) as promptly as such information is available thereafter, but in any event no later than the Offer Closing Date, an additional written notice specifying (i) the number of shares of the Company Common Stock owned by Parent and its Subsidiaries (including Merger Sub) at the time of such notice (giving effect to the Offer Closing) and (ii) a place and a time for the closing of such purchase, which shall occur on the Offer Closing Date simultaneously with the consummation of the Offer (unless otherwise mutually agreed in writing by the parties). The Company shall, as soon as possible following receipt of such notice (and in any event no later than the consummation of the Offer), deliver written notice to Merger Sub specifying, based on the information provided by Merger Sub in its notice, the number of Top-Up Shares to be purchased by Merger Sub. At the closing of the purchase of Top-Up Shares, the aggregate purchase price owed by Merger Sub to the Company for the Top-Up Shares shall be paid to the Company by issuing to the Company a promissory note having a principal amount equal to the aggregate purchase price pursuant to the Top-Up Option (the “Promissory Note”). The Promissory Note (1) shall bear simple interest at a rate of five percent (5.0%) per annum, payable in arrears at maturity, (2) shall mature on the first anniversary of the date of execution of the Promissory Note, (3) shall be full recourse to Parent and Merger Sub, (4) may be prepaid, at any time, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty, and (5) shall have no other material terms. The Company shall cause to be issued to Merger Sub a certificate representing the Top-Up Shares or, if the Company does not then have certificated Shares, the applicable number of Book-Entry Shares. Such certificates or Book-Entry Shares may include any legends that are required by federal or state securities Laws.

(c) Parent and Merger Sub acknowledge that no Top-Up Shares issued upon exercise of the Top-Up Option will be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Securities Act”), and that all such shares will be issued in reliance upon an applicable exemption from registration under the Securities Act. Each of Parent and Merger Sub hereby represents and warrants to the Company that Merger Sub is, and will be, upon the purchase of the Top-Up Shares, an “accredited investor,” as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D under the Securities Act. Merger Sub agrees that the Top-Up Option and the Top-Up Shares to be acquired upon exercise of the Top-Up Option are being and will be acquired by Merger Sub for the purpose of investment and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any distribution thereof (within the meaning of the Securities Act).

(d) Any dilutive impact on the value of the shares of Company Common Stock as a result of the issuance of the Top-Up Shares will not be taken into account in any determination of the fair value of any Dissenting Shares pursuant to Chapter 302A.471 of the MBCA.

ARTICLE II.

The Merger will become effective at such time as the Articles of Merger have been duly filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Minnesota or at such later date or time as may be agreed by the Company and Parent in writing and specified in the Articles of Merger in accordance with the MBCA (the effective time of the Merger being hereinafter referred to as the “Effective Time”).

Section 2.04 Effects of the Merger. The Merger shall have the effects set forth herein and in the applicable provisions of the MBCA. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and subject thereto, from and after the Effective Time, all property, rights, privileges, immunities, powers, franchises, licenses and authority of the Company and Merger Sub shall vest in the Surviving Corporation, and all debts, liabilities, obligations, restrictions and duties of each of the Company and Merger Sub shall become the debts, liabilities, obligations, restrictions and duties of the Surviving Corporation.

ARTICLE III.

EFFECT OF THE MERGER ON CAPITAL STOCK, COMPANY STOCK OPTIONS

AND COMPANY STOCK AWARDS

Section 3.01 Effect of the Merger on Capital Stock. At the Effective Time, as a result of the Merger and without any action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub or the Company or the holder of any capital stock of Parent, Merger Sub or the Company:

(a) Cancellation of Certain Company Common Stock. Each share of Company Common Stock that is owned by Parent, Merger Sub or the Company or any of their respective direct or indirect wholly-owned Subsidiaries will automatically be cancelled and retired and will cease to exist, and no consideration will be delivered in exchange therefor.

(b) Conversion of Company Common Stock. Each share of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than (i) shares to be cancelled and retired in accordance with Section 3.01(a), and (ii) Dissenting Shares) will be converted into the right to receive, in cash and without interest, an amount equal to the Offer Price (the “Merger Consideration”). At the Effective Time, all shares of Company Common Stock will no longer be outstanding and all shares of Company Common Stock will be cancelled and retired and will cease to exist, and, subject to Section 3.03, each holder of a certificate or Book Entry Shares formerly representing any such shares (each, a “Certificate”) will cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the Merger Consideration in accordance with Section 3.02 hereof or, if applicable, such rights as are granted by Chapters 302A.471 and 302.473 of the MBCA with respect to Dissenting Shares, subject to the terms and conditions of Section 3.03.

(c) Conversion of Merger Sub Capital Stock. Each share of common stock, par value $.01 per share, of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and become one newly issued, fully paid and non-assessable share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Surviving Corporation.

Section 3.02 Surrender and Payment.

(a) Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall appoint an exchange agent reasonably acceptable to the Company (the “Exchange Agent”) to act as the agent for the purpose of exchanging the Merger Consideration for: (i) the Certificates, or (ii) book-entry shares that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented the shares of Company Common Stock (the “Book-Entry Shares”). On and after the Effective Time, Parent shall deposit, or cause the Surviving Corporation to deposit, with the Exchange Agent, sufficient funds to pay the aggregate Merger Consideration that is payable in respect of all of the shares of Company Common Stock represented by the Certificates and the Book-Entry Shares (the “Payment Fund”) in amounts and at the times necessary for such payments. If for any reason (including losses) the Payment Fund is inadequate to pay the amounts to which holders of shares shall be entitled under Section 3.01(b), Parent shall take all steps necessary to enable or cause the Surviving Corporation promptly to deposit in trust additional cash with the Exchange Agent sufficient to make all payments required under this Agreement, and Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall in any event be liable for the payment thereof. The Payment Fund shall not be used for any other purpose. The Surviving Corporation shall pay all charges and expenses, including those of the Exchange Agent, in connection with the exchange of shares of Company Common Stock for the Merger Consideration. Promptly after the Effective Time, Parent shall send, or shall cause the Exchange Agent to send, to each record holder of shares of Company Common Stock at the Effective Time, a letter of transmittal and instructions (which shall specify that the delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title shall pass, only upon proper delivery of the Certificates or transfer of the Book-Entry Shares to the Exchange Agent) for use in such exchange.

(b) Each holder of shares of Company Common Stock that have been converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration shall be entitled to receive the Merger Consideration in respect of the Company Common Stock represented by a Certificate or Book-Entry Share upon (i) surrender to the Exchange Agent of a Certificate, together with a duly completed and validly executed letter of transmittal and such other documents as may reasonably be requested by the Exchange Agent, or (ii) receipt of an “agent’s message” by the Exchange Agent (or such other evidence, if any, of transfer as the Exchange Agent may reasonably request) in the case of Book-Entry Shares. Until so surrendered or transferred, as the case may be, and subject to the terms set forth in Section 3.03, each such Certificate or Book-Entry Share, as applicable, shall represent after the Effective Time for all purposes only the right to receive the Merger Consideration payable in respect thereof. No interest shall be paid or accrued on the cash payable upon the surrender or transfer of any Certificate or Book-Entry Share. Upon payment of the Merger Consideration pursuant to the provisions of this ARTICLE III, each Certificate or Certificates so surrendered shall immediately be cancelled.

(c) If any portion of the Merger Consideration is to be paid to a Person other than the Person in whose name the surrendered Certificate or the transferred Book-Entry Share, as applicable, is registered, it shall be a condition to such payment that (i) such Certificate shall be properly endorsed or shall otherwise be in proper form for transfer or

such Book-Entry Share shall be properly transferred, and (ii) the Person requesting such payment shall pay to the Exchange Agent any transfer or other Tax required as a result of such payment to a Person other than the registered holder of such Certificate or Book-Entry Share, as applicable, or establish to the reasonable satisfaction of the Exchange Agent that such Tax has been paid or is not payable.

(d) All Merger Consideration paid upon the surrender of Certificates or transfer of Book-Entry Shares in accordance with the terms hereof shall be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to the shares of Company Common Stock formerly represented by such Certificate or Book-Entry Shares, and from and after the Effective Time, there shall be no further registration of transfers of shares of Company Common Stock on the stock transfer books of the Surviving Corporation. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates or Book-Entry Shares are presented to the Surviving Corporation, they shall be cancelled and exchanged for the Merger Consideration provided for, and in accordance with the procedures set forth, in this ARTICLE III.

(e) Any portion of the Payment Fund that remains unclaimed by the holders of Shares six (6) months after the Effective Time shall be returned to Parent, upon demand, and any such holder who has not exchanged shares of Company Common Stock for the Merger Consideration in accordance with this Section 3.02 prior to that time shall thereafter look only to Parent for payment of the Merger Consideration. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Parent shall not be liable to any holder of shares of Company Common Stock for any amounts paid to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Laws. Any amounts remaining unclaimed by holders of shares of Company Common Stock two (2) years after the Effective Time (or such earlier date, immediately prior to such time when the amounts would otherwise escheat to or become property of any Governmental Entity) shall become, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, the property of Parent free and clear of any claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto. If any Certificates or Book-Entry Shares are not delivered, surrendered or transferred, as applicable, in accordance with this Section 3.02 prior to the date on which any amounts payable under this ARTICLE III would otherwise escheat to or become the property of any Governmental Entity, any such amounts shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, become the property of the Surviving Corporation, free and clear of all claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.

(f) Any portion of the Merger Consideration made available to the Exchange Agent in respect of any Dissenting Shares shall be returned to Parent, upon demand.

Section 3.03 Dissenting Shares. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, including Section 3.01, shares of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time that have properly exercised appraisal rights in accordance with Chapters 302A.471 and 302.473 of the MBCA (such shares of Company Common Stock being referred to collectively as the “Dissenting Shares” until such time as such holder fails to perfect or otherwise loses such holder’s appraisal rights under the MBCA with respect to such shares) shall not be converted into a right to receive the Merger Consideration, but instead shall be entitled to only such rights as are granted by Chapters 302A.471 and 302.473

of the MBCA; provided, however, that if, after the Effective Time, such holder fails to perfect, validly withdraws or otherwise loses such holder’s right to appraisal pursuant to Chapters 302A.471 and 302.473 of the MBCA or if a court of competent jurisdiction shall determine that such holder is not entitled to the relief provided by Chapters 302A.471 and 302.473 of the MBCA, such shares of Company Common Stock shall immediately cease to be considered Dissenting Shares, but instead shall be treated as if they had been converted as of the Effective Time into the right to receive the Merger Consideration in accordance with Section 3.01(b), without interest thereon, upon surrender of such Certificate formerly representing such share or transfer of such Book-Entry Share, as the case may be. The Company shall provide Parent prompt written notice of any demands, notices or instruments received by the Company for appraisal of shares of Company Common Stock, any withdrawal of any such demand and any other demand, notice or instrument delivered to the Company prior to the Effective Time pursuant to the MBCA that relates to such demand, and shall promptly confirm (from time to time at the request of Parent) the number of shares of Company Common Stock with respect to which such demands, notices or instruments have been delivered to the Company and not validly withdrawn (both on an absolute basis and as a percentage of the total number of outstanding shares of Company Common Stock). Parent shall have the opportunity and right to direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demands, notices and instruments. Except with the prior written consent of Parent, the Company shall not voluntarily make any payment with respect to, or settle or offer to settle, any such demands, notices or instruments, or waive any failure to timely deliver a written demand for appraisal, or agree to do or commit to do any of the foregoing. If any demand for appraisal is made of Dissenting Shares and the Top-Up Option was exercised prior to the Effective Time, then for purposes of determining the appraised value of any Dissenting Shares, the value of the Promissory Note shall be treated as if they had not been paid to or received by the Company and the Top-Up Shares issued shall be treated as if they were not issued or outstanding. Any portion of the aggregate Merger Consideration deposited in the Payment Fund in respect of any Dissenting Shares shall be returned to Parent, upon demand.

Section 3.04 Adjustments. Without limiting the other provisions of this Agreement, if at any time during the period between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time, any change in the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company shall occur (other than the issuance of additional shares of capital stock of the Company as permitted by this Agreement, such as pursuant to the Top-Up Option), including by reason of any reclassification, recapitalization, stock split (including reverse stock split) or combination, exchange or readjustment of shares, or any stock dividend or distribution paid in stock, the Offer Price and the Merger Consideration (as applicable) and any other amounts payable pursuant to this Agreement (or payable under the applicable provisions of the MBCA with respect to Dissenting Shares) shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect such change(s); provided, however, that nothing in this Section 3.04 shall be construed to permit the Company to take any action with respect to the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company that is prohibited by the terms of this Agreement.

Section 3.05 Withholding Rights. Each of the Exchange Agent, Parent, Merger Sub and the Surviving Corporation shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the Offer Price and the Merger Consideration, as the case may be, otherwise payable to any Person pursuant to this Agreement (or payable under the applicable provisions of the MBCA with respect to Dissenting

Shares) such amounts as may be required to be deducted and withheld with respect to the making of such payment under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and applicable Treasury Regulations issued pursuant thereto (the “Code”), or any provision of state, local or foreign Tax Law. To the extent that amounts are so deducted and withheld by the Exchange Agent, Parent, Merger Sub or the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which the Exchange Agent, Parent, Merger Sub or the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, made such deduction and withholding.

Section 3.06 Lost Certificates. If any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by Parent or the Exchange Agent, the posting by such Person of a bond or the provision by such Person of an indemnity, in such reasonable amount as Parent or the Exchange Agent may direct, as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, the Exchange Agent will issue, in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate, the Merger Consideration to be paid in respect of the shares of Company Common Stock formerly represented by such Certificate as contemplated under this ARTICLE III.

Section 3.07 Treatment of Stock Options and Other Stock-based Compensation.

(a) The Company shall take all requisite action so that, at the Effective Time, except as otherwise mutually agreed in writing by Parent and any applicable holder thereof, each option or warrant to acquire shares of Company Common Stock (each, a “Company Stock Option”) that is outstanding, unexercised and unexpired immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether or not then vested or exercisable, shall be, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company, the holder of that Company Stock Option or any other Person, cancelled and converted into the right to receive from the Surviving Corporation, as promptly as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time, an amount in cash, without interest, equal to the product of (x) the aggregate number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Company Stock Option, multiplied by (y) the excess, if any, of the Merger Consideration over the per share exercise price under such Company Stock Option, less any Taxes withheld in accordance with Section 3.05. Each Company Stock Option that has a per share exercise price that is equal to or greater than the Merger Consideration shall be automatically cancelled and terminated as of the Effective Time, and no holder of any such Company Stock Option shall be entitled to any payment with respect to such cancelled Company Stock Option that has a per share exercise price that is equal to or greater than the Merger Consideration. For the avoidance of doubt, neither Parent, Merger Sub nor the Surviving Corporation shall assume any Company Stock Option in connection with the Offer, the Merger or any other transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(b) The Company shall take all requisite action so that, at the Effective Time, except as otherwise mutually agreed in writing by Parent and any applicable holder thereof, each restricted stock unit award and other right, contingent or accrued, to acquire or receive shares of Company Common Stock or benefits measured by the value of such shares, and each award of any kind consisting of shares of Company Common Stock that

may be held, awarded, outstanding, payable or reserved for issuance under any Company Stock Plan (as defined below) including shares of Company Common Stock issued or issuable pursuant to the Company’s Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “Company ESPP”), other than Company Stock Options (each, a “Company Stock Award”), that is outstanding and unexpired immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether or not then vested or exercisable, shall be, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company, the holder of that Company Stock Award or any other Person, cancelled and converted into the right to receive from Parent and the Surviving Corporation, as promptly as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time, an amount in cash, without interest, equal to the product of (x) the aggregate number of shares of Company Common Stock in respect of such Company Stock Award multiplied by (y) the Merger Consideration, less any Taxes withheld in accordance with Section 3.05. For the avoidance of doubt, neither Parent, Merger Sub nor the Surviving Corporation shall assume any Company Stock Award in connection with the Offer, the Merger or any other transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(c) As soon as reasonably practicable on or after the Effective Time (but no later than the earlier of (i) the second payroll date after the Closing Date or (ii) the fifteenth (15^th) Business Day after the Closing Date), the Surviving Corporation shall pay the aggregate amounts payable pursuant to paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section 3.07 through the Surviving Corporation’s payroll to the holders of Company Stock Options and Company Stock Awards that become entitled to receive any payment under such paragraphs (a) and (b). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any payment owed to a holder of Company Stock Options or Company Stock Awards pursuant to this Section 3.07 cannot be made through the Surviving Corporation’s payroll system or payroll provider, then the Surviving Corporation will issue a check for such payment to such holder, which check will be sent by courier to such holder no later than the earlier of (x) the second payroll date after the Closing Date or (y) the fifteenth (15^th) Business Day after the Closing Date

(d) At or prior to the Effective Time, the Company, the Company Board and the Human Capital Committee of the Company Board, as applicable, shall adopt any resolutions and take any actions (including delivering applicable notices and obtaining any applicable employee consents) that may be necessary to effectuate the provisions of paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) of this Section 3.07. The Company, the Company Board and the Human Capital Committee of the Company Board shall each use their reasonable best efforts to ensure that the Company Stock Plan is terminated as of the Effective Time and that following the Effective Time no participant in any Company Stock Plan or other Company Employee Plan will have any right thereunder to acquire any Company Stock Options, Company Stock Awards or any other right to acquire any equity or equity-like securities of the Company, the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective Securities.

Subject to the foregoing qualifications, the Company hereby represents and warrants to Parent and Merger Sub, as of the date of this Agreement and as of the Offer Closing Date (other than with respect to those representations and warranties that by their terms speak as of some other specified date(s), which representations and warranties are made only as of such date(s)), as follows:

Each of the Company and its Subsidiaries is duly qualified or licensed to do business as a foreign corporation, limited liability company or other legal entity, as applicable, and is in good standing (with respect to jurisdictions that recognize the concept of good standing) in each jurisdiction where the character of the assets and properties owned, leased or operated by it or the nature of its business makes such qualification or license necessary, except where the failure to be so qualified or licensed or to be in good standing, would not reasonably be expected to result in, individually or in the aggregate, a Company Material Adverse Effect.

(b) Charter Documents. The Company has delivered or made available to Parent a true and correct copy of the articles of incorporation (including any certificate of designations), by-laws or like organizational documents, each as amended to date (collectively, the “Charter Documents”), of the Company and each of its Subsidiaries.

The authorized capital stock of the Company consists of: (i) twenty-five million (25,000,000) shares of Company Common Stock and (ii) five million (5,000,000) shares of undesignated stock of the Company (the “Company Blank-Check Stock”).

Section 4.03 Authority; Non-contravention; Governmental Consents.

(a) Authority. The Company has all requisite corporate power and authority to enter into and to perform its obligations under this Agreement and, subject to, in the case of the consummation of the Merger, adoption of this Agreement by the affirmative vote or consent of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock (the “Requisite Company Vote”) if required by applicable Law, to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Company and the consummation by the Company of the Offer, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby, have been duly authorized by all necessary

corporate action on the part of the Company and no other corporate proceedings on the part of the Company are necessary to authorize the execution and delivery of this Agreement or to consummate the Offer, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby, subject only, in the case of consummation of the Merger, to the receipt of the Requisite Company Vote if required by applicable Law. If approval of the holders of Company Common Stock is required by applicable Law, the Requisite Company Vote is the only vote or consent of the holders of any class or series of the Company’s capital stock necessary to approve and adopt this Agreement, approve the Merger and consummate the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby.

Any reference in this Agreement to (1) “Debt Commitment Letter,” “Equity Commitment Letter” or “Financing Letters” will include such documents as amended or modified in compliance with the provisions of Section 6.15; and (2) the “Debt Financing,” “Equity Financing” or “Financing” will include the financing contemplated by the Financing Letters as amended or modified in compliance with the provisions of Section 6.15.

As of the date hereof, to the knowledge of Parent, no event has occurred or circumstance exists which, with or without notice, lapse of time or both, would constitute a default or breach or a failure of any condition on the part of Parent, Merger Sub or, to the knowledge of Parent, any of the other parties thereto that would result in any portion of the Financing to be unavailable or delayed. Parent and Merger Sub have fully paid, or caused to be fully paid, any and all commitment or other fees that are due and payable on or prior to the date hereof pursuant to the terms of the Financing Letters and each Fee Letter.

Section 5.06 Legal Proceedings.

Section 5.07 Ownership of Company Common Stock. Neither Parent nor any of its Affiliates beneficially owns (as defined in Rule 13d-3 of the Exchange Act) any shares of

Company Common Stock, except for any such beneficial ownership that is solely attributable to the Support Agreements.

The Guarantee is in full force and effect and constitutes the valid and legally binding obligation of Guarantor, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium and other similar Laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and by general principles of equity.

(b) Notwithstanding Section 6.04(a), prior to the Offer Closing, the Company Board, directly or indirectly through any Representative, may, subject to Section 6.04(c) (i) participate in negotiations or discussions with any third party that has made (and not withdrawn) a bona fide, unsolicited written Takeover Proposal, not resulting from or attributable to any breach of this Section 6.04, that the Company Board believes in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel and the Company Financial Advisor,

constitutes or would reasonably be expected to result in a Superior Proposal, (ii) thereafter furnish to such third party non-public information relating to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries pursuant to an executed confidentiality agreement that constitutes an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement (a copy of which confidentiality agreement shall be promptly (in all events within twenty-four (24) hours) provided for informational purposes only to Parent), and/or (iii) take any action that any court of competent jurisdiction orders the Company to take (which order remains unstayed), but in each case referred to in the foregoing clauses (i) through (iii), only if the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel, that the failure to take such action would reasonably be expected to cause the Company Board to be in breach of its fiduciary duties to the Company’s shareholders under applicable Law. Nothing contained herein shall prevent the Company Board from disclosing to the Company’s shareholders a position contemplated by Rule 14d-9 and Rule 14e-2(a) promulgated under the Exchange Act with regard to a Takeover Proposal, if the Company determines, after consultation with outside legal counsel, that failure to disclose such position would constitute a violation of applicable Law; provided that (x) no Company Adverse Recommendation Change may be made unless the Company shall have first complied with its obligations under this Section 6.04 (specifically including Section 6.04(d)) and (y) making such disclosure shall not in any way limit or modify the effect, if any, that any such disclosure has under this Section 6.04 or under ARTICLE VIII.

(c) The Company shall notify Parent promptly (but in no event later than twenty-four (24) hours) after it obtains Knowledge of the receipt by the Company (or any of its Representatives) of any Takeover Proposal or any indication, request or other communication that could reasonably be expected to lead to any Takeover Proposal (or of any material modification, supplement or amendment to any of the foregoing). In such notice, the Company shall identify the third party making, and details of the material terms and conditions of, any such Takeover Proposal, indication or request. The Company shall keep Parent fully informed of the status and material terms of any such Takeover Proposal, indication, request or other communication, including any material amendments or proposed amendments as to price and other material terms thereof. The Company shall provide Parent with at least seventy-two (72) hours prior notice of any meeting of the Company Board at which the Company Board is reasonably expected to consider any Takeover Proposal. The Company shall promptly provide Parent with a list and copies of any non-public information concerning the Company’s business, present or future performance, financial condition or results of operations, provided to any third party to the extent such information has not been previously provided to Parent. The Company will not enter into any confidentiality agreement or other Contract with any Person that prohibits the Company from providing such information to Parent in accordance with this Section 6.04 or otherwise prohibits the Company from complying with its obligations under this Section 6.04.

(d) Except as set forth in this Section 6.04(d), the Company Board shall not make any Company Adverse Recommendation Change or enter into (or permit any Subsidiary to enter into) a Company Acquisition Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time prior to the Offer Closing, the Company Board may make a

Company Adverse Recommendation Change or enter into (or permit any Subsidiary to enter into) a Company Acquisition Agreement, if: (i) the Company promptly notifies Parent, in writing, at least three (3) Business Days (the “Notice Period”) before making a Company Adverse Recommendation Change or entering into (or causing a Subsidiary to enter into) a Company Acquisition Agreement, of its intention to take such action with respect to a Superior Proposal, which notice shall state expressly that the Company has received a Takeover Proposal that the Company Board intends to declare a Superior Proposal and that the Company Board intends to make a Company Adverse Recommendation Change and/or the Company intends to enter into a Company Acquisition Agreement; (ii) the Company attaches to such notice the most current version of the proposed agreement (which version shall be updated on a prompt basis) and the identity of the third party making such Superior Proposal; (iii) the Company Board determines in good faith, after consulting with outside legal counsel and its Company Financial Advisor, that (A) such Takeover Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal after taking into account any adjustments made by Parent during the Notice Period in the terms and conditions of this Agreement and/or the Financing Letters, and (B) the failure to take such action would reasonably be expected to cause the Company Board to be in breach of its fiduciary duties to the Company’s shareholders under applicable Law and (iv) in the event of any termination of this Agreement in order to cause or permit the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to enter into a Company Acquisition Agreement with respect to such Takeover Proposal, the Company shall have validly terminated this Agreement in accordance with Section 8.04(a) and shall have paid the Termination Fee to Parent in accordance with the applicable provisions of Section 8.06. The Company shall, and shall cause its financial and legal Representatives to, during the Notice Period, permit Parent to make proposals to the Company Board regarding adjustments in the terms and conditions of this Agreement and/or the Financing Letters, and negotiate in good faith with Parent with respect thereto, so that the applicable Takeover Proposal ceases to constitute a Superior Proposal if Parent, in its discretion, proposes to make such adjustments (it being understood and agreed that there may be multiple extensions of the Notice Period). The Company shall, and shall cause its financial and legal Representatives to, keep confidential any adjustments in the terms and conditions of this Agreement and/or the Financing Letters proposed by Parent, other than in the event of an actual amendment to this Agreement and/or the Financing Letters (or to the extent required by applicable Law to be disclosed by the Company). For the avoidance of doubt the provisions of this Section 6.04(d) shall also apply to any material modification, supplement or amendment to any Takeover Proposal and require a new Notice Period, except that the reference to three (3) Business Days shall be deemed to be two (2) Business Days.

(e) The Company agrees that in the event that any Subsidiary or Representative of the Company takes any action which, if taken by the Company, would constitute a breach of this Section 6.04, the Company shall be deemed to be in breach of this Section 6.04.

Section 6.05 Shareholders Meeting; Preparation of Proxy Materials.

(a) Subject to the terms set forth in this Agreement, if (and only if) the approval of this Agreement by the Company’s shareholders is required under applicable Law, the Company shall take all action necessary to duly call, give notice of, convene and hold the Company Shareholders Meeting as soon as reasonably practicable after the Offer Closing, and, in connection therewith, the Company shall mail the Company Proxy Statement to the holders of Company Common Stock in advance of such meeting. The Company Proxy Statement shall include the Company Board Recommendation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if following the Offer Closing (i) the Merger may be consummated without the Company Shareholders Meeting in accordance with the MBCA, the parties hereto shall take all necessary and appropriate action to cause the Merger to become effective as soon as practicable after the Offer Closing without the Company Shareholders Meeting in accordance with the MBCA or (ii) the Merger may not be consummated without the Company Shareholders Meeting in accordance with the MBCA but following any subsequent offering period and/or the exercise, if any, of the Top-Up Option, Parent, Merger Sub and their respective Subsidiaries shall hold, in the aggregate, at least ninety percent (90%) of the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock, the parties hereto shall take all necessary and appropriate action, including with respect to the transfer to Merger Sub of any shares of Company Common Stock held by Parent or any Subsidiary of Parent, to cause the Merger to become effective as soon as practicable after the Offer Closing without the Company Shareholders Meeting in accordance with Chapter 302A.621 of the MBCA.

(b) If the adoption of this Agreement by the Company’s shareholders is required by applicable Law, as soon as practicable following the Offer Closing, the Company shall prepare and file the Company Proxy Statement or Information Statement with the SEC. Parent, Merger Sub and the Company will cooperate and consult with each other in the preparation of the Company Proxy Statement or Information Statement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each of Parent and Merger Sub shall promptly furnish to the Company all information concerning Parent and Merger Sub required by the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder to be set forth in the Company Proxy Statement or Information Statement, as applicable. The Company shall not file the Company Proxy Statement or Information Statement, or any amendment or supplement thereto, without providing Parent, Merger Sub and their counsel a reasonable opportunity to review and comment thereon (which comments shall be reasonably considered by the Company). The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to resolve, and each party agrees to consult and cooperate with the other party in resolving, all SEC comments with respect to the Company Proxy Statement or Information Statement, as applicable, as promptly as practicable after receipt thereof and to cause the Company Proxy Statement or Information Statement, as applicable, in definitive form to be cleared by the SEC and mailed to the Company’s shareholders as promptly as reasonably practicable following filing with the SEC. The Company agrees to consult with Parent prior to responding to SEC comments with respect to the preliminary Company Proxy Statement or Information Statement. Each of Parent, Merger Sub and the Company agree to promptly correct any information provided by it for use in the

Company Proxy Statement or Information Statement if and to the extent that such information shall have become false or misleading in any material respect and the Company shall promptly prepare and mail to its shareholders an amendment or supplement setting forth such correction to the extent required by applicable Law. The Company shall as soon as reasonably practicable (i) notify Parent of the receipt of any comments from the SEC with respect to the Company Proxy Statement or Information Statement and any request by the SEC for any amendment to the Company Proxy Statement or Information Statement or for additional information and (ii) provide Parent with copies of all written correspondence between the Company and its Representatives, on the one hand, and the SEC, on the other hand, with respect to the Company Proxy Statement or Information Statement.

Section 6.06 Notices of Certain Events. The Company shall notify Parent and Merger Sub, and Parent and Merger Sub shall notify the Company, promptly of (i) any notice or other communication from any Person alleging that the consent of such Person is or may be required in connection with the Offer, the Merger, the Top-Up Option or any of the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (ii) any notice or other communication from any Governmental Entity in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (iii) any Legal Actions commenced, or to such party’s knowledge, threatened, against the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Parent or its Subsidiaries, as applicable, that are related to the Offer, the Merger, the Top-Up Option or any of the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and (iv) any representation or warranty of such party contained in this Agreement becoming untrue or inaccurate in any material respect, or the material failure of any party to comply with or satisfy any covenant, condition or agreement in this Agreement, in each case such that the conditions set forth in Section 7.01 or any of the Offer Conditions would not be satisfied or would give rise to a right a termination set forth in Section 8.03 or Section 8.04, as the case may be. In addition, the Company shall notify Parent and Merger Sub promptly of any change or event having, or which would reasonably be expected to have, a Company Material Adverse Effect or which would reasonably be likely to result in the failure of any of the Offer Conditions to be satisfied. In no event shall the delivery of any notice by a party pursuant to this Section 6.06 limit or otherwise affect the respective rights, obligations, representations, warranties, covenants or agreements of the parties or the conditions to the obligations of the parties under this Agreement.

Section 6.07 Employees; Benefit Plans.

(a) During the period commencing at the Effective Time and ending on the date which is twelve (12) months from the Effective Time (or if earlier, the date of the employee’s termination of employment with Parent or its applicable Subsidiary, including the Surviving Corporation), Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation and each of its Subsidiaries, as applicable, to provide the employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries who remain employed immediately after the Effective Time (collectively, the “Company Continuing Employees”) with base salary and employee benefits (excluding equity-based compensation, long-term incentives, change in control, retention, transition, stay or similar arrangements, and retiree benefits) that are, in the aggregate, substantially comparable to the base salary and employee benefits (excluding equity-based compensation, long-term incentives, change in control, retention, transition, stay or

similar arrangements, and retiree benefits) provided by the Company and its Subsidiaries on the date of this Agreement; provided, however, that Parent’s and the Surviving Corporation’s obligations under this Section 6.07 shall be subject to such modifications as are necessary to comply with applicable Law of any jurisdiction outside the United States of America (including its territories and possessions).

(b) With respect to any “employee benefit plan” as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA maintained by Parent or any of its Subsidiaries, excluding both any retiree healthcare plans or programs maintained by Parent or any of its Subsidiaries and any equity compensation arrangements maintained by Parent or any of its Subsidiaries (collectively, “Parent Benefit Plans”), in which any Company Continuing Employees will participate effective as of the Effective Time, Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, recognize all service of the Company Continuing Employees with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, as the case may be as if such service were with Parent, for vesting and eligibility purposes (but not for (i) purposes of early retirement subsidies under any Parent Benefit Plan that is a defined benefit pension plan or (ii) benefit accrual purposes, except for vacation, if applicable) in any Parent Benefit Plan in which such Company Continuing Employees may be eligible to participate after the Effective Time; provided, that such service shall not be recognized to the extent that (x) such recognition would result in a duplication of benefits or (y) such service was not recognized under the corresponding Company Employee Plan.

(c) This Section 6.07 shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of each of the parties to this Agreement, and nothing in this Section 6.07, express or implied, shall confer upon any other Person any rights or remedies of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Section 6.07. Nothing contained herein, express or implied (i) shall be construed to establish, amend or modify any benefit plan, program, agreement or arrangement or (ii) shall alter or limit the ability of the Surviving Corporation, Parent or any of their respective Affiliates to amend, modify or terminate any benefit plan, program, agreement or arrangement at any time assumed, established, sponsored or maintained by any of them. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the terms set forth in this Section 6.07 shall not create any right in any Company Employee or any other Person to any continued employment with the Surviving Corporation, Parent or any of their respective Subsidiaries or compensation or benefits of any nature or kind whatsoever.

(d) Any offering period in progress under the Company ESPP shall continue, and, except as otherwise provided in this clause (d), the shares of Company Common Stock shall be issued to participants therein on the next currently scheduled purchase dates thereunder occurring after the date hereof as provided under, and subject to the terms and conditions of, the Company ESPP; provided that, from and after the date hereof, the Company shall take all actions necessary to (i) not commence a new offering period and (ii) ensure that no new participants be permitted into the Company ESPP and that the existing participants thereunder may not increase their elections with respect to the current offering period. In the event that any offering period under the Company ESPP has not ended on the date immediately preceding the Closing Date, then such

offering period shall be terminated as of second (2nd) Business Day immediately preceding the Closing Date and all participant contributions then in the Company ESPP shall be used to purchase shares of Company Common Stock on such date in accordance with the terms of the Company ESPP as if such date was the last date of such offering period. Notwithstanding any restrictions on transfer of stock in the Company ESPP, all shares of Company Common Stock purchased under the Company ESPP shall be treated identically to all other shares of Company Common Stock in the Merger and the payment of the Merger Consideration therefor in accordance with ARTICLE III. The Company shall terminate the Company ESPP as of or immediately prior to the Effective Time.

(e) With respect to matters described in this Section 6.07, the Company will not send any information, notices or other communication materials to Company Employees without the prior written consent of Parent.

Section 6.08 Directors’ and Officers’ Indemnification and Insurance.

(a) Parent and Merger Sub agree that all rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses and exculpation by the Company now existing in favor of each Person who is now, or has been at any time prior to the date hereof or who becomes prior to the Effective Time an officer or director of the Company and its Subsidiaries (each an “Indemnified Party”) as provided in the Company Charter Documents, in each case as in effect on the date of this Agreement, or pursuant to any other Contracts in effect on the date hereof and disclosed in Section 6.08 of the Company Disclosure Letter, shall be assumed by the Surviving Corporation in the Merger, without further action, at the Effective Time and shall survive the Merger and shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with their terms, and, in the event that any proceeding is pending or asserted or any claim made during such period, until the final disposition of such proceeding or claim.

(b) For six years after the Effective Time, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law, Parent and the Surviving Corporation (the “Indemnifying Parties”) shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless each Indemnified Party against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, fees, reasonable expenses, judgments and fines to the extent arising out of actions or omissions in their capacity as a director or officer of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries occurring at or prior to the Effective Time (including in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) and, subject to clause (c) below, shall reimburse each Indemnified Party for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with investigating or defending any such losses, claims, damages, liabilities, fees, expenses, judgments and fines as such expenses are incurred, subject to the Surviving Corporation’s receipt of an undertaking by such Indemnified Party to repay such legal and other fees and expenses paid in advance if it is ultimately determined in a final and non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction that such Indemnified Party is not entitled to be indemnified under applicable Law.

(c) Any Indemnified Party wishing to claim indemnification under Section 6.08(b), upon learning of any applicable Legal Action, shall promptly notify Parent

thereof, but the failure to so notify shall not relieve the Indemnifying Parties of any liability they may have to such Indemnified Party, except to the extent such failure materially prejudices the Indemnifying Parties. In the event of any such Legal Proceeding arising after the Effective Time, (i) the indemnifying Parties shall have the right to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Parties, and the Indemnifying Parties shall not be liable to such Indemnified Parties for any legal expenses of other counsel or any other expenses subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Parties in connection with the defense thereof, except that if the Indemnifying Parties elect not to assume such defense or counsel for the Indemnified Parties advises that there are issues which raise conflicts of interest between either of the Indemnifying Parties and the Indemnified Parties, or between the Indemnified Parties, the Indemnified Parties may retain counsel satisfactory to them, and the Indemnifying Parties shall pay all reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel for the Indemnified Parties promptly as statements therefor are received, subject to the Surviving Corporation’s receipt of an undertaking by such Indemnified Party to repay such legal and other fees and expenses paid in advance if it is ultimately determined in a final and non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction that such Indemnified Party is not entitled to be indemnified under applicable Law; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Parties shall be obligated pursuant to this clause (c) to pay for only one firm of counsel for all Indemnified Parties in any jurisdiction unless the use of one counsel for such Indemnified Parties would present such counsel with a conflict of interest; provided that the fewest number of counsels necessary to avoid conflicts of interest shall be used, (ii) the Indemnified Parties will cooperate in the defense of any such matter and (iii) the Indemnifying Parties shall not be liable for any settlement effected without their prior written consent; and provided, further, that the Indemnifying Parties shall not have any obligation hereunder to any Indemnified Party if and to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction shall ultimately determine, and such determination shall have become final, that the indemnification of such Indemnified Party in the manner contemplated hereby is prohibited by applicable Law.

(d) The Surviving Corporation shall, and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, (i) maintain in effect for a period of six (6) years after the Effective Time, the current policies of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance maintained by the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time, a true and correct copy of which has been made available by the Company to Parent prior to the date hereof (provided that the Surviving Corporation may substitute therefor policies, of at least the same coverage and amounts and containing terms and conditions that are not less advantageous to the directors and officers of the Company and its Subsidiaries when compared to the insurance maintained by the Company as of the date hereof), or (ii) obtain as of the Effective Time “tail” insurance policies with a claims period of six (6) years from the Effective Time with at least the same coverage and amounts and containing terms and conditions that are not less advantageous to the directors and officers of the Company and its Subsidiaries, in each case with respect to claims arising out of or relating to events which occurred before or at the Effective Time (including in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement); provided, however, that in no event will Parent or the Surviving Corporation be required, and the Company shall not be permitted,

to expend for such policies pursuant to this Section 6.08 an annualized premium amount in excess of 250% of the annual premiums currently paid by the Company for such insurance and, if the annual premiums of such insurance coverage exceed such amount, Parent or the Surviving Corporation shall obtain a substantially similar policy (from an insurance carrier with the same or better rating as the Company’s current directors’ and officers’ liability insurance carrier) with the greatest coverage available for a cost to exceeding such amount.

(e) The obligations of Parent and the Surviving Corporation under this Section 6.08 shall survive the consummation of the Merger and shall not be terminated or modified in such a manner as to adversely affect any Indemnified Party to whom this Section 6.08 applies without the consent of such affected Indemnified Party (it being expressly agreed that the Indemnified Parties to whom this Section 6.08 applies shall be third party beneficiaries of this Section 6.08, each of whom may enforce the provisions of this Section 6.08).

(f) In the event Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity in such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in either such case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Parent or the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, shall assume all of the obligations set forth in this Section 6.08. The agreements and covenants contained herein shall not be deemed to be exclusive of any other rights to which any Indemnified Party is entitled, whether pursuant to Law, Contract or otherwise. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to, shall be construed to or shall release, waive or impair any rights to directors’ and officers’ insurance claims under any policy that is or has been in existence with respect to the Company or its officers, directors and employees, it being understood and agreed that the indemnification and other commitments provided for in this Section 6.08 are not prior to, or in substitution for, any such claims under any such policies.

Section 6.09 Reasonable Best Efforts.

(a) Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement (including those contained in this Section 6.09), each of the parties hereto shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, and to assist and cooperate with the other parties in doing, all things necessary, proper or advisable to consummate and make effective, and to satisfy all conditions to, in the most expeditious manner practicable, the Offer, the Top-Up Option (if applicable), the Merger and the transactions contemplated hereby, including (i) the obtaining of all necessary permits, waivers, consents, approvals and actions or nonactions from Governmental Entities and the making of all necessary registrations and filings (including filings with Governmental Entities) and the taking of all steps as may be necessary to obtain an approval or waiver from, or to avoid an action or proceeding by, any Governmental Entities, (ii) the obtaining of all necessary consents or waivers from third parties, and (iii) the execution and delivery of any additional instruments necessary to consummate the Offer, the Top-Up Option (if applicable), the

Merger and to fully carry out the purposes of this Agreement. The Company and Parent shall, subject to applicable Law, promptly (x) cooperate and coordinate with the other in the taking of the actions contemplated by clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) immediately above and (y) supply the other with any information that may be reasonably required in order to effectuate the taking of such actions. Each party hereto shall promptly inform the other party or parties hereto, as the case may be, of any communication from any Governmental Entity regarding any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. If the Company or Parent receives a request for additional information or documentary material from any Governmental Entity with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, then it shall use reasonable best efforts to make, or cause to be made, as soon as reasonably practicable and after consultation with the other party, an appropriate response in compliance with such request, and, if permitted by applicable Law and by any applicable Governmental Entity, provide the other party’s counsel with advance notice and the opportunity to attend and participate in any meeting with any Governmental Entity in respect of any filing made thereto in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Neither Parent nor the Company shall commit to or agree (or permit their respective Subsidiaries to commit to or agree) with any Governmental Entity to stay, toll or extend any applicable waiting period under any applicable Antitrust Laws, without the prior written consent of the other (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

(b) Without limiting the generality of the undertakings pursuant to Section 6.09(b) hereof, the parties hereto shall (i) provide or cause to be provided as promptly as reasonably practicable to Governmental Entities with jurisdiction over applicable Antitrust Laws, if any (each such Governmental Entity, a “Governmental Antitrust Authority”), information and documents requested by any Governmental Antitrust Authority as necessary, proper or advisable to permit consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including consents and filings under any applicable Antitrust Laws as promptly as practicable following the date of this Agreement and thereafter to respond as promptly as practicable to any request for additional information or documentary material that may be made under applicable Antitrust Laws, it being understood and agreed that the Parent and Merger Sub, on the one hand, and the Company, on the other hand, shall each be responsible for fifty percent (50%) of any filing fees or similar fees required under any applicable Antitrust Laws and (ii) subject to the terms set forth in Section 6.09(c) hereof, use their reasonable best efforts to take such actions as are necessary or advisable to obtain prompt approval of the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement by any Governmental Entity or expiration of applicable waiting periods.

(c) In the event that any administrative or judicial action or proceeding is instituted (or threatened to be instituted) by a Governmental Entity or private party challenging the Offer, the Top-Up Option (if applicable), the Merger or any other transaction contemplated by this Agreement, or any other agreement contemplated hereby, the Company, Parent and Merger Sub shall cooperate in all respects and use their reasonable best efforts to contest and resist any such action or proceeding and to have vacated, lifted, reversed or overturned any Order, whether temporary, preliminary or

permanent, that is in effect and that prohibits, prevents or restricts consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(d) In furtherance and not in limitation of the provisions of this Section 6.09, Parent and Merger Sub and any of their Subsidiaries shall be required to use their commercially reasonable best efforts to take any and all actions necessary to avoid, eliminate or resolve each and every impediment and obtain all clearances, consents, approvals, and waivers required under any applicable Antitrust Laws that may be required by any Governmental Antitrust Authority, so as to enable the Parties to close the transactions contemplated by this Agreement as promptly as possible.

(e) The Company may not, without the prior written consent of Parent, become subject to, consent to, or offer or agree to, or otherwise take any action with respect to, any requirement, condition, limitation, understanding, agreement or order to (i) sell, license, assign, transfer, divest, hold separate or otherwise dispose of any assets, business or portion of business of the Company, the Surviving Corporation, Parent, Merger Sub or any of their respective Subsidiaries, (ii) conduct, restrict, operate, invest or otherwise change the assets, business or portion of business of the Company, the Surviving Corporation, Parent, Merger Sub or any of their respective Subsidiaries in any manner, or (iii) impose any restriction, requirement or limitation on the operation of the business or portion of the business of the Company, the Surviving Corporation, Parent, Merger Sub or any of their respective Subsidiaries; provided that, if requested by Parent in writing, the Company will become subject to, consent to, or offer or agree to, or otherwise take any action with respect to, any such requirement, condition, limitation, understanding, agreement or order so long as such requirement, condition, limitation, understanding, agreement or order is only binding on the Company in the event the Closing occurs.

Section 6.10 Public Announcements. The initial press release with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be a release mutually agreed to by the Company and Parent. Thereafter, each of the Company, Parent and Merger Sub agrees that no public release or announcement concerning the Offer, the Top-Up Option, the Merger or the other transactions contemplated hereby shall be issued by any party without the prior written consent of the Company and Parent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), except as such release or announcement may be permitted by Section 6.04 or required by applicable Law or the rules or regulations of any applicable United States securities exchange or Governmental Entity to which the relevant party is subject, wherever situated, in which case the party required to make the release or announcement shall consult with the other party about, and allow the other party reasonable time to comment on such release or announcement in advance of such issuance.

Section 6.11 Takeover Statutes. If any “control share acquisition,” “fair price,” “business combination,” “moratorium” or other anti-takeover Law becomes or is deemed to be applicable to the Company, Parent, Merger Sub, the Offer, the acquisition of shares of Company Common Stock pursuant to the Offer, the Top-Up Option, the Merger or any other transaction contemplated by this Agreement, then each of the Company, Parent, Merger Sub, and their respective board of directors shall grant such approvals and take such actions as are necessary so

that the transactions contemplated hereby may be consummated as promptly as practicable on the terms contemplated hereby and otherwise act to render such anti-takeover Law inapplicable to the foregoing, individually and collectively.

Section 6.12 Section 16 Matters. Prior to the Offer Closing, the Company shall take all such steps as may be required to cause to be exempt under Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act any dispositions of shares of Company Common Stock (including derivative securities with respect to such shares) that are treated as dispositions under such rule and result from the Offer, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby by each director or officer of the Company who is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act with respect to the Company.

Section 6.13 Rule 14d-10(d) Matters. Prior to the Offer Closing, the Company (acting through the Human Capital Committee of the Company Board) shall take all such steps as may be required to cause each agreement, arrangement or understanding entered into by Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or a Subsidiary of Parent, Merger Sub or the Company on or after the date hereof with any of the Company’s officers, directors or employees pursuant to which consideration is paid to such officer, director or employee to be approved as an “employment compensation, severance or other employee benefit arrangement” within the meaning of Rule 14d-10(d)(1) under the Exchange Act and to satisfy the requirements of the non-exclusive safe harbor set forth in Rule 14d-10(d) under the Exchange Act. Promptly upon Parent or any of its Affiliates entering into any such agreement, arrangement or understanding with any such Person, Parent will provide to the Company all relevant information concerning such agreement, arrangement or understanding as is reasonably needed by the Company to comply with this Section 6.13.

Section 6.14 Further Assurances. At and after the Effective Time, the officers and directors of the Surviving Corporation shall be authorized to execute and deliver, in the name and on behalf of the Company or Merger Sub, any deeds, bills of sale, assignments or assurances and to take and do, in the name and on behalf of the Company or Merger Sub, any other actions and things to vest, perfect or confirm of record or otherwise in the Surviving Corporation any and all right, title and interest in, to and under any of the rights, properties or assets of the Company acquired or to be acquired by the Surviving Corporation as a result of, or in connection with, the Merger.

Section 6.15 Financing.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, unless otherwise agreed, each of Parent and Merger Sub will not permit any assignment of, any material amendment or modification to be made to, or any waiver of any material provision or remedy pursuant to the Financing Letters if such assignment, amendment, modification or waiver would, or would be reasonably expected to: (i) reduce the aggregate amount of the Debt Financing, including by changing the amount of fees to be paid or original issue discount of the Debt Financings (unless the Equity Financing is increased by a corresponding amount or Alternate Debt Financing that complies with Section 6.15(b) has been made available in a corresponding amount); (ii) adversely impact in any material respect the ability of the Company (as a third party beneficiary of the Equity Commitment

Letter), Parent or Purchaser to enforce its respective rights against the other parties to the Financing Letters or the definitive agreements with respect thereto; or (iii) prevent or materially delay the consummation of the Financing or the consummation of the Offer or the Merger.

(b) Each of Parent and Merger Sub shall use its reasonable best efforts to arrange the Debt Financing and timely consummate the Debt Financing on the terms and conditions set forth in the Debt Commitment Letters, including using its reasonable best efforts to: (i) maintain in effect the Debt Commitment Letters in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions thereof; (ii) substantially comply with its obligations under the Debt Commitment Letters; (iii) in good faith negotiate, execute and deliver definitive agreements with respect to the Debt Financing contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letters on the terms and conditions contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letters or as such terms may otherwise be agreed; (iv) satisfy on a timely basis all conditions to the Debt Financing that are applicable to, and within the control of, Parent, Merger Sub and their respective Subsidiaries in the Debt Commitment Letters and the definitive agreements with respect to the Debt Financing contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letters; and (v) consummate the Debt Financing at or prior to the Offer Closing. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, in the event that any portion of the Debt Financing becomes unavailable on the terms and conditions set forth in the Debt Commitment Letters (other than due to the failure of a condition to the consummation of the Debt Financing resulting from a breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement of the Company set forth in this Agreement, which (if curable) has not been cured by the earlier of (x) three (3) Business Days prior to the Offer Closing Date and (y) twenty (20) days after the Company’s receipt of written notice thereof) and such portion is required to fund the payments required to be made by the Parent or Merger Sub hereunder, each of Parent and Merger Sub shall use its respective reasonable best efforts to, as promptly as practicable following the occurrence of such event: (A) obtain alternative debt financing (the “Alternate Debt Financing”) from alternative sources on terms and conditions not materially less favorable in the aggregate to Parent and Merger Sub than those set forth in the Debt Commitment Letters and in an amount sufficient, when added to the portion of the Financing that is still available and available cash on hand and the Equity Financing, to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and (B) obtain one or more new financing commitment letters with respect to such Alternate Debt Financing (the “New Debt Commitment Letter”), which New Debt Commitment Letter will replace the applicable existing Debt Commitment Letter in whole or in part; provided, however, that nothing herein shall be construed as to require Parent or Merger Sub to accept Alternate Debt Financing (including any commitments therefor) that (1) are less favorable than those in the applicable existing Debt Commitment Letter, (2) require the payment of fees in excess of those contemplated in the applicable existing Debt Commitment Letter, or (3) could reasonably be expected to prevent or materially delay the Offer, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby. Parent shall promptly (and no later than one (1) Business Day after receipt thereof) provide the Company with a true and complete copy of any New Debt Commitment Letter, together with any related exhibits, schedules, supplements and term sheets (and a true and complete copy of any fee letter in connection

therewith, with pricing terms and any other terms not relating to conditionality or availability of the Debt Financing being redacted). In the event that Parent or Merger Sub obtains Alternate Debt Financing, any reference in this Agreement to the “Financing Letters,” the “Debt Commitment Letter,” the “Debt Financing” or the “Financing” (and other like terms in this Agreement) will be deemed modified to include such Alternate Debt Financing in lieu of the Debt Financing contemplated by the applicable existing Debt Commitment Letter.

(c) Parent and Merger Sub shall: (i) from time to time at the request of the Company, keep the Company reasonably informed as to the status of its efforts to arrange the Debt Financing or any applicable Alternate Debt Financing; and (ii) promptly (and no later than one (1) Business Day) provide the Company with copies of all executed amendments, modifications or replacements of Debt Commitment Letters (it being understood that any amendments, modifications or replacements shall only be as permitted herein) related to the Financing. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Parent and Merger Sub shall promptly (and no later than one (1) Business Day) notify the Company: (A) of any oral or written repudiation or termination or material breach or default by any party to the Financing Letters of which Parent, Merger Sub or their Affiliates become aware or any event or circumstance that, with or without notice, lapse of time or both, would reasonably be expected to give rise to any material breach or default by any party to the Debt Financing or Equity Financing; (B) of the receipt by Parent, Merger Sub or their Affiliates of any purported repudiation or termination of the Financing Letters; or (C) if for any reason either Parent or Merger Sub in good faith no longer believes that one of Parent or Merger Sub will be able to obtain all or any portion of the Financing. Parent shall provide any information reasonably requested by the Company relating to any of the circumstances referred to in the previous sentence as soon as reasonably practicable after the date that the Company delivers a written request therefor to Parent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall Parent or Merger Sub permit or consent to any amendment, supplement or modification to, or any waiver of any provision under, the Debt Commitment Letters (whether the initial Debt Financing or Alternate Debt Financing) if such amendment, supplement, modification or waiver (w) imposes new or additional conditions, or otherwise expands any of the conditions, to the initial funding of the Debt Financing at Closing in a manner that would make such conditions more onerous than those set forth therein on the date hereof, (x) would reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect the ability of Parent or Merger Sub to enforce its rights against the other parties to the Debt Commitment Letters, (y) would reasonably be expected to materially impair, materially delay or prevent the availability of all or a portion of the Debt Financing or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or (z) would reduce the aggregate cash amount of the Debt Financing to an amount that, when taken together with other funds available to Parent and Merger Sub, is not sufficient to pay the aggregate consideration to be paid by Parent or Merger Sub at the Closing and all other amounts required to be paid at the Closing in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and to pay all related fees and expenses required to be paid at the Closing in connection therewith.

(d) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, except for the extension to the Offer contemplated by the proviso to Section 1.01(b), each of Parent and Merger Sub understands and acknowledges and agrees that under the terms of this Agreement, Parent’s and Merger Sub’s obligation to consummate the Offer and the Merger is not in any way contingent upon or otherwise subject to Parent’s and Merger Sub’s consummation of the Financing or any other financing arrangements, Parent’s and Merger Sub’s obtaining of the Financing or any other financing or the availability, grant, provision or extension of the Financing or any other financing to Parent and Merger Sub.

(e) Financing Cooperation.

(i) Prior to the Closing, the Company will use reasonable best efforts, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries and its and their respective Representatives, to use reasonable best efforts, to provide Parent and Merger Sub with all cooperation reasonably requested by them to assist them in the arrangement and consummation of the Debt Financing. Such assistance shall include:

(A) preparing and furnishing to Parent and any financing sources and other financial institutions and investors that are or may become parties to the Debt Financing (the “Financing Sources”) as promptly as practicable all available pertinent financial information (including financial estimates, budgets, forecasts and other forward-looking information) and disclosures relating to the Company and its Subsidiaries as may be reasonably requested by Parent or Merger Sub;

delivered pursuant to the Debt Commitment Letter (the “Required Financial Information”) (provided, that the timely filing by the Company of the required financial statements on Form 10-K and Form 10-Q in accordance with the applicable rules and requirements of the SEC shall satisfy the requirements of this definition) and all other financial information (including executive level financial analyses for the Company and its Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, with respect to each calendar month ended during the period between the date of this Agreement and the Closing Date), business and other financial data, audit reports and other information regarding the Company and its Subsidiaries of the type and for the time periods that are reasonably requested by Parent, Merger Sub or the Lenders;

(F) reasonably facilitate the granting of security interests (and perfection thereof) in collateral in connection with the Debt Financing (including the delivery of stock certificates), and the preparation, execution and delivery of guarantees, mortgages, other definitive financing documents or other certificates or documents as may be reasonably requested by Parent or Merger Sub, provided that all of the foregoing are not effective until the Offer Closing;

(G) reasonably cooperate in satisfying the conditions precedent set forth in the Debt Financing Letters or any definitive documentation relating thereto, including obtaining insurance certificates and endorsements;

(ii) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, nothing in this Agreement will require the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to: (A) enter into any definitive agreement before the occurrence of the Offer Closing; (B) give any indemnities the effectiveness of which is not conditioned on the occurrence of the Offer Closing; (C) provide any information the disclosure of which is prohibited or restricted under applicable Law, is legally privileged or would violate confidentiality obligations owing to third parties; or (D) take any action that would violate any applicable Laws or would result in a violation or breach of, or default under, any Material Contract. No action, liability or obligation of the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective directors, officers, employees, agents or other Representatives pursuant to any certificate, agreement, arrangement, document or instrument relating to the Debt Financing (other than the authorization and representation letters referred to above) will be effective until the Offer Closing. Nothing in this Agreement will require: (x) any directors, officers, employees, agents or other Representatives of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to deliver any certificate or opinion or take any other action prior to the Offer Closing or that would reasonably be expected to result in personal liability to such director, officer, employee, agent or other representative; or (y) the members of the Company Board to approve any financing or Contracts related thereto prior to the Offer Closing.

(f) All non-public or other confidential information provided by the Company or any of its directors, officers, employees, agents or other Representatives pursuant to this Agreement will be kept confidential in accordance with the Confidentiality Agreement, except that Parent and Merger Sub will be permitted to disclose such information to any Financing Sources (and, in each case, to their respective counsel and auditors) so long as such Financing Sources (i) agree to be bound by the Confidentiality Agreement as if parties thereto, or (ii) are subject to other confidentiality undertakings reasonably satisfactory to the Company.

(g) The Parties acknowledge and agree that the provisions of this Section 8.06 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and that, without such provisions, Parent, Merger Sub and Company would not have entered into this Agreement.

Any interest payable hereunder shall be calculated on a daily basis from the date such amounts were required to be paid until (but excluding) the date of actual payment, and on the basis of a 360-day year. The parties acknowledge and agree that in no event shall (1) the Company be obligated to pay the Termination Fee on more than one occasion or (2) Parent or any of its Affiliates be obligated pay the Buyer Termination Fee on more than one occasion.

(h) Except as otherwise expressly provided by this Agreement, including Section 6.09 and this Section 8.06, all Expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby will be paid by the party incurring such Expenses.

(i) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, (i) under no circumstances shall the collective monetary damages payable by Parent, Merger Sub and/or their respective Affiliates for breaches under this Agreement or the Financing Letters exceed the Buyer Termination Fee (the “Parent Liability Limitation”), (ii) while the Company may pursue specific performance in accordance with Section 9.13, under no circumstances shall the Company be permitted or entitled to receive both all or any portion of the Buyer Termination Fee and an award of specific performance that results in

the Offer Closing and/or the Closing and (iii) in no event shall the Company and its Subsidiaries and any of their respective former, current or future officers, directors, partners, stockholders, optionholders, managers, members or Affiliates (collectively, “Company Related Parties”) seek or obtain, nor shall they permit any of their Representatives or any other Person on their behalf to seek or obtain, nor shall any Person be entitled to seek or obtain, any monetary recovery or award in excess of the Parent Liability Limitation against Parent, Merger Sub, Guarantor or the Financing Sources or any of their respective former, current or future general or limited partners, stockholders, financing sources, managers, members, directors, officers or Affiliates (collectively, the “Parent Related Parties”), and in no event shall the Company or any of its Subsidiaries be entitled to seek or obtain any monetary damages of any kind in excess of the Parent Liability Limitation against the Parent Related Parties, including consequential, special, indirect or punitive damages for, or with respect to, this Agreement, the Financing Letters or the Guarantee or the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, the termination of this Agreement, the failure to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any claims or actions under applicable Law arising out of any such breach, termination or failure.

Section 8.07 Amendment. Subject to applicable Law and except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, this Agreement may be amended or supplemented in any and all respects, whether before or after the Offer Closing or any vote or consent of the Company’s shareholders contemplated hereby, but only by a written agreement signed by each of the parties hereto; provided, however, that following the Offer Closing, no amendment shall be made which decreases the Merger Consideration and, after adoption of this Agreement by the holders of Company Common Stock, no amendments shall be made which by Law requires further approval by such holders without obtaining such further approval.

Section 8.08 Extension; Waiver. At any time prior to the Effective Time, Parent or Merger Sub, on the one hand, or the Company, on the other hand, may, by delivering a written instrument to such effect to the other party, (a) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations of the other party or parties, (b) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties of the other party or parties contained in this Agreement or in any document delivered under this Agreement, or (c) waive compliance with any of the covenants, agreements or conditions contained in this Agreement; provided, however, that after adoption of this Agreement by the holders of Company Common Stock, no waiver shall be made which by Law required further approval by such holders without obtaining such further approval. The failure of any party to assert any of its rights under this Agreement or otherwise will not constitute a waiver of such rights.

This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns, but neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder shall be assigned by any of the parties hereto without the prior written consent of the other parties; provided that Parent and Merger Sub may, without the prior written consent of the Company, (a) assign or transfer its rights under this Agreement to any of its Financing Sources as collateral security, any of whom shall be permitted to exercise any or all of the rights and remedies of Parent and Merger Sub hereunder and transfer and assign such rights to any successor or assignee following foreclosure or other exercise of remedies as to such collateral assignment or security interest without the prior consent of the other parties hereto, (b) any wholly-owned Affiliates of Guarantor, and to any purchaser of all or substantially all of the assets or shares of Parent or the Surviving Corporation; and provided further, however, in any case, that no such assignment or transfer shall relieve the assigning party of their obligations or agreements hereunder or require any other party hereunder to resort to any such assignee or transferee prior to seeking any remedies against the assigning or transferring party permitted under or pursuant to this Agreement. This Section 9.11 may not be amended without the written consent of the then-existing secured lender of Parent and Merger Sub, who is a third party beneficiary of the provisions of this Section 9.11.

Section 9.12 Remedies. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, (a) any and all remedies expressly conferred upon a party to this Agreement will be cumulative with, and not exclusive of, any other remedy contained in this Agreement, at Law or in equity, and (b) the exercise by a party to this Agreement of any one remedy will not preclude the exercise by it of any other remedy.

Section 9.13 Specific Performance.

(a) The Parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed by the Parties hereto in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that Parent and Merger Sub, on the one hand, and the Company, on the other hand, shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement by the other (as applicable) and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement and to thereafter cause the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to be consummated on the terms and subject to the conditions thereto set forth in this Agreement. The foregoing rights are in addition to and without limitation of any other remedy to which the Parties may be entitled at law or in equity. The Parties further agree not to assert that a remedy of specific performance is unenforceable, invalid, contrary to law or inequitable for any reason, nor to assert that a remedy of monetary damages would provide an adequate remedy. Each of the Parties hereto hereby waives (i) any defenses in any action for specific performance, including the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate and (ii) any requirement under any Law to post a bond or other security as a prerequisite to obtaining equitable relief. If any party brings any action to enforce specifically the performance of the terms and provisions hereof by any other party, the Outside Date shall automatically be extended by (x) the amount of time during which such action is pending, plus twenty (20) Business Days or (y) such other later date established by the court presiding over such action. The Parties hereto further agree that (A) by seeking the remedies provided for in this Section 9.13, no Party shall in any respect waive its right to seek at any time any other form of relief that may be available to it under this Agreement or any other agreement or document entered into in connection herewith or the transactions contemplated hereby (including monetary damages) in the event that this Agreement has been terminated or in the event that the remedies provided for in this Section 9.13 are not available or otherwise are not granted, and (ii) nothing set forth in this Section 9.13 shall require any Party hereto to institute any proceeding for (or limit any party’s right to institute any proceeding for) specific performance under this Section 9.13 prior to or as a condition to exercising any termination right under Article VIII, nor shall the commencement of any legal proceeding pursuant to this Section 9.13 or anything set forth in this Section 9.13 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 any other agreement or document entered into in connection herewith or the transactions contemplated hereby that may be available then or thereafter.

(b) Notwithstanding Section 9.13(a) or anything else in this Agreement to the contrary, the Company shall not be entitled to enforce or seek to enforce specifically Parent’s and Merger Sub’s obligations to consummate the Offer or effect the Merger

unless (i) each of the conditions set forth in Section 7.1 and each of the Offer Conditions (in each case, other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied by actions taken at the Offer Closing) have been satisfied (or waived by Parent), (ii) the Company has given notice in writing to Parent representing that it is ready, willing and able complete the Closing, (iii) the full amount of the Debt Financing has been funded or will be funded at the Closing and (iv) Parent and Merger Sub have failed to complete the Offer Closing or the Closing, as applicable, by the date the Offer Closing or the Closing, as applicable, is required to have occurred pursuant to this Agreement.

(c) Each of the Parties acknowledges that the agreements contained in this Section 9.13 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and that, without these agreements, such Party would not enter into this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, while the Company may pursue both payment of the Buyer Termination Fee and a grant of specific performance or other equitable relief pursuant hereto, under no circumstances shall the Company be permitted or entitled to receive both a grant of specific performance of the consummation of the Closing pursuant to this Section 9.13 and the payment of all or any portion of the Buyer Termination Fee.

Section 9.14 Counterparts; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, all of which will be one and the same agreement. This Agreement will become effective when each party to this Agreement will have received counterparts signed by all of the other parties.

(f) the Company shall have failed to perform in any material respect any obligation or to comply in any material respect with any agreement or covenant of the Company to be performed or complied with by it under the Agreement;

The failure by Parent or Merger Sub at any time to exercise any of the foregoing rights shall not be deemed a waiver of any such right and each such right shall be deemed an ongoing right that may be asserted at any time and from time to time, subject to the terms and conditions of the Agreement and the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC. The foregoing conditions shall be in addition to, and no a limitation of, the rights of parent and Merger Sub to extend, termination and/or modify the Offer pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms and conditions of the Agreement
