AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER (“Agreement”) dated as of January 30, 2014, among DASSAULT SYSTEMES AMERICAS CORP., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), 3DS ACQUISITION CORP., a Delaware corporation (“Sub”) and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent, and ACCELRYS, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”).

WHEREAS, the respective Boards of Directors of Parent, Sub and the Company have approved the acquisition of the Company by Parent on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement;

WHEREAS, in furtherance of such acquisition, Parent intends to cause Sub to make a tender offer (as it may be amended from time to time as permitted under this Agreement, the “Offer”) to purchase all of the outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company (the “Company Common Stock”), at a price per share of Company Common Stock of $12.50 net to the seller in cash, without interest (such amount, as it may be adjusted from time to time on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, the “Offer Price”), and subject to any withholding of Taxes pursuant to Section 2.02(h) of this Agreement;

WHEREAS, the respective Boards of Directors of Parent, Sub and the Company have approved the merger (the “Merger”) of Sub with and into the Company, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, whereby each issued share of Company Common Stock not owned by Parent, Sub or the Company shall be converted into the right to receive the Offer Price;

WHEREAS, the parties acknowledge and agree that the Merger shall be governed by and effected pursuant to Section 251(h) of the DGCL (as defined in Section 1.03) and shall be consummated as soon as practicable following the acceptance for payment of Company Common Stock in the Offer; and

WHEREAS, Parent, Sub and the Company desire to make certain representations, warranties, covenants and agreements in connection with the Offer and the Merger and also to prescribe various conditions to the Offer and the Merger.

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

The Offer and the Merger

SECTION 1.01. The Offer.

(a) Subject to the conditions of this Agreement and provided that this Agreement has not been terminated in accordance with Article VIII, as promptly as practicable but in no event later than ten business days after the date of this Agreement, Sub shall, and Parent shall cause Sub to, commence the Offer within the meaning of the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The obligations of Sub to,

and of Parent to cause Sub to, accept for payment, and pay for, any shares of Company Common Stock validly tendered and not validly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer are subject to the conditions set forth in Exhibit A (the “Offer Conditions”). The initial expiration date of the Offer shall be the 20th business day following the commencement of the Offer (determined using Rule 14d-1(g)(3) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)). Sub expressly reserves the right to waive any Offer Condition or modify the terms of the Offer, except that, without the prior written consent of the Company, which consent may be withheld in its sole discretion, neither Parent nor Sub may: (i) reduce the number of shares of Company Common Stock to be purchased in the Offer, (ii) reduce the Offer Price, (iii) waive the Minimum Tender Condition, (iv) add to the Offer Conditions, (v) modify any Offer Condition in any manner adverse to the holders of Company Common Stock, (vi) waive the condition set forth in clause (ii) of Exhibit A or the condition set forth in clause (a) of Exhibit A, (vii) extend the Offer other than pursuant to and in accordance with this Agreement, (viii) change the form of consideration payable in the Offer, (ix) otherwise amend the Offer in any manner materially adverse to the holders of Company Common Stock or (x) provide for a “subsequent offering period” (or any extension thereof) in accordance with Rule 14d-11 promulgated under the Exchange Act. Notwithstanding the preceding provisions of this Section 1.01(a) or anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, Sub shall, and Parent shall cause Sub to, extend the Offer for any period required by any Law or Judgment, or any rule, regulation, interpretation or position of the SEC or the staff thereof, in any such case which is applicable to the Offer. In addition, subject to the parties’ respective rights to terminate the Agreement under Article VIII, (1) if at the otherwise-scheduled expiration date of the Offer any Offer Condition other than the Minimum Tender Condition is not satisfied or waived (if permitted hereunder), Sub shall, and Parent shall cause Sub to, extend the Offer for one or more successive periods of ten business days each, in order to permit the satisfaction of all of the Offer Conditions, provided, however, that in no event shall Sub be required to extend the expiration date of the Offer to any date later than the Outside Date pursuant to this clause (1), and (2) if all of the Offer Conditions (other than the Minimum Tender Condition) have been satisfied or waived (if permitted hereunder), or if not then satisfied or waived, are by their nature to be satisfied at the Acceptance Time, then at the otherwise-scheduled expiration date of the Offer, Sub may, and, if requested by the Company in its sole discretion, Sub shall, and Parent shall cause Sub to, extend the Offer for one or more periods of ten business days each; provided, however, that (A) in no event shall Sub be required or permitted to extend the expiration date of the Offer to any date later than the Outside Date pursuant to this clause (2), (B) in no event shall Sub be required or permitted to extend the expiration date of the Offer more than four times pursuant to this clause (2) and (C) Sub shall not be required to extend the expiration date of the Offer following the consummation of a transaction contemplated by a Company Takeover Proposal; provided, however, that for the purposes of this clause (C) only, “Company Takeover Proposal” shall have the meaning assigned to such term in Section 5.02(e) except that all references to 20% therein shall be deemed to be references to “50%”.

(b) The Offer Price shall be adjusted appropriately to reflect the effect of any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend (including any dividend or distribution of securities convertible into Company Common Stock), reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, combination, exchange of shares or other like change with respect to Company Common Stock occurring or having a record date on or after the date hereof and prior to the Acceptance Time, in each case, effected in compliance with Section 5.01, and the Offer Price as so adjusted shall provide to the holders of Company Common Stock the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such action.

(c) On the terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer and this Agreement, Sub shall, and Parent shall cause Sub to, pay for all shares of Company Common Stock validly tendered and not validly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer that Sub becomes obligated to purchase pursuant to the Offer as soon as practicable (and in any event within three business days after the expiration of the Offer and in compliance with Rule 14e-1(c) promulgated under the Exchange Act) following the expiration of the Offer (the time of such acceptance for payment, and payment for, shares of Company Common Stock, the “Acceptance Time”).

(d) Neither Parent nor Sub shall terminate or withdraw the Offer prior to the otherwise-scheduled expiration of the Offer unless this Agreement is validly terminated in accordance with Article VIII and subject to applicable Law, in which case Sub shall, and Parent shall cause Sub to, irrevocably and unconditionally terminate the Offer promptly (but in no event more than one business day) following such termination of this Agreement. If the Offer is terminated or withdrawn by Sub, Sub shall, and Parent shall cause Sub to, promptly return, and shall cause any depository acting on behalf of Sub to promptly return, in accordance with applicable Law, all tendered shares of Company Common Stock to the registered holders thereof.

(e) On the date of commencement of the Offer (within the meaning of Rule 14d-2 promulgated under the Exchange Act), Parent and Sub shall file with the SEC, in accordance with Rule 14d-3(a) promulgated under the Exchange Act, a Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO with respect to the Offer, which shall contain an offer to purchase and a related 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 supplements or amendments thereto, the “Offer Documents”) and cause the Offer Documents to be disseminated to the Company’s stockholders as and to the extent required by applicable Law. The Company shall promptly furnish to Parent and Sub all information concerning the Company that is required by the Exchange Act to be included in the Offer Documents, or as reasonably requested, so as to enable Parent and Sub to comply with their obligations under this Section 1.01(e). Parent, Sub and the Company shall cooperate in good faith to determine the information regarding the Company that is necessary to include in the Offer Documents in order to satisfy applicable Law. The Company and its counsel shall be given a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on the Offer Documents prior to the filing thereof with the SEC, and Parent and Sub shall give reasonable and good faith consideration to any comments made by the Company and its counsel. Each of Parent, Sub and the Company shall 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, and each of Parent and Sub shall take all steps necessary to amend or supplement the Offer Documents and to cause the Offer Documents as so amended or supplemented to be filed with the SEC and the Offer Documents as so amended or supplemented to be disseminated to the Company’s stockholders, in each case as and to the extent required by applicable Law. Parent and Sub shall provide the Company and its counsel with a copy of any written comments (or a written description of any oral comments) Parent, Sub or their counsel may receive from the SEC or its staff with respect to the Offer Documents or any request from the SEC or its staff for amendments or supplements to the Offer Documents promptly after the

receipt of such comments or request. Parent and Sub agree to, prior to the filing of any amendment or supplement to the Offer Documents with the SEC or dissemination thereof to the stockholders of the Company, or responding to any comments of the SEC with respect to the Offer Documents or any amendment or supplement thereto: (i) provide the Company and its counsel reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such amendments, supplements or responses, giving reasonable and good faith consideration to any such comments and (ii) provide the Company with copies of any written comments or responses submitted by Parent or Sub to the SEC.

(f) Parent shall provide or cause to be provided to Sub on a timely basis the funds necessary to purchase any shares of Company Common Stock that Sub becomes obligated to purchase pursuant to the Offer.

SECTION 1.02. Company Actions.

(a) The Company hereby approves of and consents to the Offer, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement (collectively, the “Transactions”).

(b) On or prior to the date the Offer Documents are required to be filed with the SEC pursuant to Sections 1.01(a) and 1.01(e), the Company shall file with the SEC a Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9 with respect to the Offer (together with any supplements or amendments thereto, and including all exhibits thereto, the “Schedule 14D-9”) containing the determination and recommendation referred to in Sections 3.04(b)(ii) and 3.04(b)(iii), respectively, and shall mail the Schedule 14D-9 to the holders of Company Common Stock as and to the extent required by applicable Law. Parent and Sub shall promptly furnish to the Company all information concerning Parent and Sub required by the Exchange Act to be set forth in the Schedule 14D-9, or as reasonably requested, so as to enable the Company to comply with its obligations under this Section 1.02(b). Parent, Sub and the Company shall cooperate in good faith to determine the information regarding Parent and Sub that is necessary to include in the Schedule 14D-9 in order to satisfy applicable Law. Except with respect to any amendments filed after the Company Board has effected a Change in Company Board Recommendation or in connection with any disclosures made in compliance with Section 5.02(d), Parent, Sub and their counsel shall be given a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on the Schedule 14D-9 prior to the filing thereof with the SEC, and the Company shall give reasonable and good faith consideration to any comments made by Parent, Sub and their counsel. Each of the Company, Parent and Sub shall 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, and the Company shall take all steps necessary to amend or supplement the Schedule 14D-9 and to cause the Schedule 14D-9 as so amended or supplemented to be filed with the SEC and disseminated to the Company’s stockholders, in each case, as and to the extent required by applicable Law. The Company shall provide Parent and its counsel with a copy of any written comments (or a written description of any oral comments) the Company or its counsel may receive from the SEC or its staff with respect to the Schedule 14D-9 or any request from the SEC or its staff for amendments or supplements to the Schedule 14D-9 promptly after the receipt of such comments or request. The Company agrees to, prior to the filing of any amendment or supplement to the Schedule 14D-9 with

the SEC or dissemination thereof to the stockholders of the Company, or responding to any comments of the SEC with respect to the Schedule 14D-9 or any amendment or supplement thereto: (i) provide Parent and its counsel reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such amendments, supplements or responses, giving reasonable and good faith consideration to any such comments, and (ii) provide Parent with copies of any written comments or responses submitted by the Company to the SEC. The Company hereby consents to the inclusion in the Offer Documents of the Company Board Recommendation.

(c) In connection with the Offer, the Company shall cause its transfer agent to furnish Sub promptly with mailing labels containing the names and addresses of the record holders of Company Common Stock as of a recent date and of those persons becoming record holders subsequent to such date, together with copies of all lists of stockholders, security position listings, computer files and all other information in the Company’s possession or control regarding the beneficial owners of Company Common Stock, and shall furnish to Sub such information and assistance (including updated lists of stockholders, security position listings and computer files) as Parent may reasonably request in communicating the Offer to the Company’s stockholders. Subject to the requirements of applicable Law, and except for such steps as are necessary to disseminate the Offer Documents and any other documents necessary to consummate the Transactions, Parent and Sub shall hold in confidence the information provided to Parent, Sub or their respective Representatives pursuant to this Section 1.02(c), and shall use such information only in connection with the Transactions and, if this Agreement shall be terminated, shall, upon request of the Company, deliver to the Company or destroy all copies of such information then in their possession or control.

ARTICLE II

Effect on the Capital Stock of the

Constituent Corporations; Exchange of Certificates

SECTION 2.01. Effect on Capital Stock. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder of any shares of Company Common Stock or any shares of capital stock of Sub:

(a) Capital Stock of Sub. Each issued and outstanding share of capital stock of Sub shall be converted into and become one fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Surviving Corporation.

(b) Cancelation of Treasury Stock and Parent-Owned Stock. Each share of Company Common Stock that is owned by the Company (or held in the Company’s treasury), Parent or Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time shall automatically be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist, and no consideration shall be delivered or deliverable in exchange therefor. Each share of Company Common Stock that is owned by any subsidiary of the Company or Parent (other than Sub) shall automatically be converted into one fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Surviving Corporation.

(c) Conversion of Company Common Stock. Except as provided in Section 2.01(b) above and subject to Section 2.01(d), each share of Company Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be canceled and converted into the right to receive an amount of cash equal to the Offer Price, without interest. The cash payable upon the conversion of shares of Company Common Stock pursuant to this Section 2.01(c) is referred to collectively as the “Merger Consideration”. As of the Effective Time, all such shares of Company Common Stock shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist, and each holder of a certificate representing any such shares of Company Common Stock (each, a “Certificate”) or any such shares of Company Common Stock registered in non-certificated book-entry form on the Company’s stock transfer books immediately prior to the Effective Time (“Book-Entry Shares”) shall, in each case, cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive Merger Consideration upon surrender of such certificate in accordance with this Article II.

(d) Appraisal Rights. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, shares of Company Common Stock that are outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and that are held by any person who is entitled to demand and properly demands appraisal of such shares (“Appraisal Shares”) pursuant to, and who complies in all respects with, Section 262 of the DGCL (“Section 262”) but at the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, shall be canceled and shall cease to exist and shall represent the right to receive only those rights provided under Section 262; provided, however, that if any such holder shall fail to perfect or otherwise shall waive, withdraw or lose the right to appraisal under Section 262, then the right of such holder to receive those rights under Section 262 shall cease and such Appraisal Shares shall be deemed to have been converted as of the Effective Time into, and shall represent only the right to receive the Merger Consideration as provided in Section 2.01(c) without interest, upon surrender of the Certificate or Book-Entry Shares representing such shares. The Company shall serve prompt notice to Parent of any demands received by the Company for appraisal of any shares of Company Common Stock, and Parent shall have the right to participate in and direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demands. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall not, without the prior written consent of Parent, make any payment with respect to, or settle or offer to settle, any such demands, or agree to do any of the foregoing.

SECTION 2.02. Exchange of Certificates.

(a) Paying Agent. Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall select a bank or trust company to act as paying agent (the “Paying Agent”) for the payment of the Merger Consideration upon surrender of the Certificates or Book-Entry Shares. On or prior to the Closing Date, Parent shall have deposited with the Paying Agent cash sufficient to pay for the shares of Company Common Stock converted into the right to receive cash pursuant to Section 2.01(c) (such cash being so deposited hereinafter referred to as the “Exchange Fund”).

(b) Exchange Procedure. As soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time, the Paying Agent shall mail to each holder of Book-Entry Shares and each holder of record of a Certificate that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding shares of Company Common Stock whose shares were converted into the right to receive Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.01(c), (i) a letter of transmittal (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates or Book-Entry Shares, as applicable, shall pass, only upon delivery of the Certificates or Book-Entry Shares, as applicable, to the Paying Agent and shall be in such form and have such other provisions as Parent may reasonably specify) and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates or Book-Entry Shares, as applicable, in exchange for Merger Consideration. Upon surrender of a Certificate or Book-Entry Shares, as applicable, for cancelation to the Paying Agent, together with such letter of transmittal, duly executed, and such other documents as may reasonably be required by the Paying Agent, the holder of such Certificate or Book-Entry Shares, as applicable, shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor the amount of cash into which the shares of Company Common Stock theretofore represented by such Certificate or Book-Entry Shares, as applicable, shall have been converted pursuant to Section 2.01(c), and the Certificate or Book-Entry Shares, as applicable, so surrendered shall forthwith be canceled. In the event of a transfer of ownership of Company Common Stock that is not registered in the transfer records of the Company, payment may be made to a person other than the person in whose name the Certificate or Book-Entry Shares, as applicable, so surrendered is registered, if such Certificate or Book-Entry Shares, as applicable, shall be properly endorsed or otherwise be in proper form for transfer and the person requesting such payment shall pay any transfer or other taxes required by reason of the payment to a person other than the registered holder of such Certificate or Book-Entry Shares, as applicable, or establish to the satisfaction of Parent that such tax has been paid or is not applicable. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 2.02, each Certificate and any Book-Entry Shares, as applicable, shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive upon such surrender the amount of cash, without interest, into which the shares of Company Common Stock theretofore represented by such Certificate or Book-Entry Shares, as applicable, have been converted pursuant to Section 2.01(c). No interest shall be paid or accrue on the cash payable upon surrender of any Certificate or Book-Entry Shares.

(c) No Further Ownership Rights in Company Common Stock. The Merger Consideration paid in accordance with the terms of this Article II upon the surrender of any Certificate or Book-Entry Shares shall be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to the shares of Company Common Stock that such Certificate or Book-Entry Shares represented immediately prior to the Effective Time, subject, however, to the Surviving Corporation’s obligation to pay any dividends or make any other distributions with a record date prior to the Effective Time that may have been declared or made by the Company on the shares of Company Common Stock that such Certificate or Book-Entry Shares represented immediately prior to the Effective Time in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or prior to the date of this Agreement and which remain unpaid at the Effective Time, and after the Effective Time there shall be no further registration of transfers on the stock transfer books of the Surviving Corporation of shares of Company Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, any Certificates or Book-Entry Shares are presented to the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent for any reason, they shall be canceled and exchanged as provided in this Article II.

(d) Termination of Exchange Fund. Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains undistributed to the holders of Certificates for one year after the Effective Time shall be delivered to Parent, upon demand, and any holder of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares who has not theretofore complied with this Article II shall thereafter look only to Parent for payment of its claim for Merger Consideration.

(e) No Liability. None of Parent, Sub, the Company or the Paying Agent shall be liable to any person in respect of any cash from the Exchange Fund delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law. If any Certificate or Book-Entry Shares have not been surrendered prior to three years after the Effective Time (or immediately prior to such earlier date on which Merger Consideration in respect of such Certificate or Book-Entry Shares would otherwise escheat to or become the property of any Governmental Entity), any such shares, cash, dividends or distributions in respect of such Certificate or Book-Entry Shares 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) Investment of Exchange Fund. The Paying Agent shall invest any cash included in the Exchange Fund, as directed by Parent, on a daily basis. Any interest and other income resulting from such investments shall be paid to Parent.

(g) Lost Certificates. If any Certificate has been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by Parent, the posting by such person of a bond in such reasonable and customary amount as Parent may direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, the Paying Agent will pay in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate the Merger Consideration with respect thereto, without interest.

(h) Withholding Rights. The Surviving Corporation, Parent, Sub and the Paying Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the Offer Price, Merger Consideration or any other payments made in connection with the Transactions, as applicable, payable to any holder of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares or any holder of Company Stock Options or Company RSUs pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as may be required to be deducted and withheld with respect to the making of such payment under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), or under any provision of state, local or foreign tax Law.

SECTION 5.02. No Solicitation.

(a) During the Pre-Closing Period and except as otherwise permitted under this Section 5.02, the Company shall not, and shall direct each Company Subsidiary, officer, director or employee of, or any investment banker, attorney or other advisor or representative (collectively, “Representatives”) of the Company or any Company Subsidiary not to, (i) directly or indirectly solicit, initiate, knowingly encourage or knowingly facilitate the submission of any Company Takeover Proposal or inquiry that is reasonably likely to lead to a Company Takeover Proposal, (ii) enter into any agreement with respect to any Company Takeover Proposal, (iii) directly or indirectly participate in any discussions or negotiations with any person regarding any Company Takeover Proposal, in each case other than for the sole purpose of informing such person of the provisions set forth in this Section 5.02 or (iv) furnish to any person any non-public information relating to the Company or the Company Subsidiaries to knowingly facilitate any inquiries or the making of any proposal that constitutes, or would reasonably be expected to lead to, any Company Takeover Proposal; provided, however, that prior to the Acceptance Time, (x) in response to a written Company Takeover Proposal that was not solicited by the Company, any Company Subsidiary or any of their respective Representatives and that did not otherwise result from a breach or a deemed breach in any material respect of this Section 5.02(a) (a “Qualifying Company Takeover Proposal”) that the Company Board determines, in good faith, after consultation with the Company’s outside counsel and independent financial advisor, is or would reasonably be expected to result in, or lead to, a Superior Company Proposal, the Company may, subject to compliance with this Section 5.02 and upon a good faith determination by the Company Board that the failure to take such action would be inconsistent with the Company’s fiduciary duties under applicable Law, (A) furnish information with respect to the Company to the person making such Qualifying Company Takeover Proposal and its Representatives pursuant to an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement (provided that any such information that is provided or made available to the person making such Qualifying Company Takeover Proposal shall, to the extent not previously provided to Parent, be provided or made available to Parent promptly after it is provided to such Person making such Qualifying Company Takeover Proposal) and (B) participate in discussions or negotiations with such person and its Representatives regarding such Qualifying Company Takeover Proposal and (y) if, with

respect to a Qualifying Company Takeover Proposal, the Company Board is unable to determine, in good faith, after consultation with the Company’s outside counsel and independent financial advisor, whether such Qualifying Company Takeover Proposal is or would reasonably be expected to result in a Superior Company Proposal, then the Company may, subject to compliance with this Section 5.02, respond to the person making such Qualifying Company Takeover Proposal with a written statement setting forth the reasons why the Company Board was unable to determine, in good faith, after consultation with the Company’s outside counsel and independent financial advisor, whether such Qualifying Company Takeover Proposal is or would reasonably be expected to result in a Superior Company Proposal. Without limiting the foregoing, it is agreed that any violation of the restrictions set forth in the preceding sentence by any Representative or affiliate of the Company or any Company Subsidiary, whether or not such person is purporting to act on behalf of the Company or any Company Subsidiary or otherwise, shall be deemed to be a breach of this Section 5.02(a) by the Company. The Company shall, and shall cause its Representatives to, immediately (i) cease all discussions and negotiations regarding any proposal pending on the date of this Agreement that constitutes, or would reasonably be expected to lead to a Company Takeover Proposal, (ii) request the prompt return or destruction of all confidential information previously furnished to any person within the last 12 months for the purposes of evaluating a possible Company Takeover Proposal and (iii) unless permitted after the date hereof under this Section 5.02(a), prohibit and prevent any third party from accessing any physical or electronic data room relating to a possible Company Takeover Proposal.

(b) Neither the Company Board nor any committee thereof shall (1) withhold, withdraw, qualify or modify in a manner adverse to Parent or Sub, or propose publicly to withhold, withdraw, qualify or modify in a manner adverse to Parent or Sub, the Company Board Recommendation (a “Change in Company Board Recommendation”), (2) approve any letter of intent, agreement in principle, acquisition agreement or similar agreement relating to any Company Takeover Proposal or (3) approve or recommend, or propose publicly to approve or recommend, any Company Takeover Proposal. Notwithstanding the foregoing, prior to the Acceptance Time:

(i) if the Company Board receives a Company Takeover Proposal that it determines in good faith, after consultation with the Company’s outside counsel and independent financial advisor, constitutes a Superior Company Proposal, and as a result thereof the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with the Company’s outside counsel, that the failure to effect a Change in Company Board Recommendation or terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.01(e) would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law, the Company Board may take (or cause the Company to take) either such action, provided in each case that (A) the Company has notified Parent in writing of its intention to effect a Change in Company Board Recommendation or terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.01(e), which notice shall contain a description of all material terms and conditions of the Superior Company Proposal and attach a copy of the most current draft of any written agreement relating to such Superior Company Proposal (the “Superior Company Proposal Notice”), it being understood and agreed that the delivery of such Superior Company Proposal Notice shall not, in and of itself, be deemed to be a Change in Company Board Recommendation, (B) the Company shall have given Parent five calendar days after Parent’s receipt of the Superior Company Proposal Notice to propose revisions to the terms of this

Agreement or make another proposal (it being understood and agreed that any amendment to any material term or condition of such Superior Company Proposal shall require a new Superior Company Proposal Notice and a new five calendar day period) and (C) at least five calendar days following receipt by Parent of the Superior Company Proposal Notice (it being understood and agreed that any amendment to any material term or condition of such Superior Company Proposal shall require a new Superior Company Proposal Notice and a new five calendar day period), and after considering any proposed revisions or other proposal made by Parent since Parent’s receipt of the Superior Company Proposal Notice, the Company Board shall have determined in good faith, after consultation with the Company’s outside counsel and independent financial advisor, that the Company Takeover Proposal that is the subject of the Superior Company Proposal Notice continues to constitute a Superior Proposal and that the failure to effect a Change in Company Board Recommendation or to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.01(e) would continue to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law; and

(ii) if an Intervening Event occurs, and as a result thereof the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with the Company’s outside counsel, that the failure to effect a Change in Company Board Recommendation would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law, the Company Board may take such action in response to such Intervening Event.

(c) The Company promptly (and in any event within two calendar days) shall advise Parent of the receipt of any Company Takeover Proposal (or any material amendment or modification of any Company Takeover Proposal), indicating the identity of the person making any such Company Takeover Proposal. The Company shall (i) keep Parent reasonably informed of the status thereof, including any change to the material terms of any such Company Takeover Proposal and (ii) provide to Parent as soon as practicable (and in any event within two calendar days) after receipt or delivery thereof with copies of all material correspondence and other written material sent or provided to the Company from any third party in connection with any Company Takeover Proposal or sent or provided by the Company to any third party in connection with any Company Takeover Proposal.

(d) Nothing contained in this Section 5.02 or elsewhere in this Agreement shall prohibit the Company or the Company Board from (i) taking and disclosing to the Company’s stockholders a position contemplated by Rule 14d-9 or Rule 14e-2(a) promulgated under the Exchange Act or Item 1012(a) of Regulation M-A promulgated under the Exchange Act (or any similar communication to stockholders in connection with the making or amendment of a tender offer or exchange offer) or (ii) making any disclosure to the Company’s stockholders if, in the good faith judgment of the Company Board, after consultation with outside counsel, failure to so disclose would be inconsistent with the Company Board’s fiduciary duties under applicable Law; provided that clause (ii) of this Section 5.02(d) shall not be deemed to permit the Company Board to effect a Change in Company Board Recommendation except, in each case, to the extent permitted by Section 5.02(b) (it being understood that neither (i) any “stop, look and listen” letter or similar communication of the type contemplated by Rule 14d-9(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act, nor (ii) any accurate disclosure of factual information to the Company’s stockholders that is required to be made to such stockholders under applicable Law or in satisfaction of the Company Board’s fiduciary duties, so long as such disclosure also contains a statement that the Company Board has not effected a Change in Company Board Recommendation, shall be deemed to be a Change in Company Board Recommendation).

(e) For purposes of this Agreement:

(d) In furtherance and not in limitation of the covenants of the parties contained in Section 6.03(a), but subject in all cases to Section 6.03(e), if any objections are asserted with respect to the Transactions in connection with any necessary waivers, consents, approvals, orders and authorizations of any Governmental Entity required pursuant to any applicable Antitrust Law or the Exon-Florio Amendment and the CFIUS review process which would prevent consummation of the Offer, the Merger or the other Transactions, each of Parent, Sub and the Company shall, in addition to taking the actions set forth in Section 6.03(a), but subject in all respects to Section 6.03(e), offer or consent to any disposition of the Company’s and the Company Subsdiaries’ assets or limits on the Company’s and the Company Subsidiaries’ freedom of action with respect to any of its or their respective businesses.

(b) The Company will adopt written resolutions and a plan amendment to terminate each Company Benefit Plan qualified under Code Section 401(k) (each, a “Company 401(k) Plan”) and to fully (100%) vest all participants under all Company 401(k) Plans, such termination and vesting to be effective no later than one business day preceding the Closing Date (but contingent on the Closing).

(c) With respect to any compensation or employee benefit plan, policy, agreement or arrangement maintained by Parent or any of its subsidiaries in which the Covered Employees and their eligible dependents will be eligible to participate from and after the Effective Time (“Parent Benefit Plans”), Parent will give each Covered Employee full credit for prior service with the Company or the Company Subsidiaries for purposes of (i) eligibility and vesting (but not for the accrual of benefits) under any Parent Benefit Plans and (ii) determination of benefit levels under any Parent Benefit Plan or policy relating to vacation, in each case for

(d) In addition, Parent shall waive, or cause to be waived, any limitations on benefits relating to pre-existing conditions to the same extent such limitations are waived under any comparable medical or dental plan, to the extent permitted by such plan, of Parent and recognize for purposes of annual deductible and out-of-pocket limits under its medical and dental plans, deductible and out-of-pocket expenses paid by Covered Employees in the calendar year in which the Effective Time occurs in each case to the extent such limitations would have been waived or such expenses recognized by a comparable Company Benefit Plan immediately prior to the Effective Time.

(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.05, the provisions of Sections 6.05(a), (b), (c) and (d) shall apply only with respect to Covered Employees who are covered under benefit plans that are maintained primarily for the benefit of employees employed in the United States (including Covered Employees regularly employed outside the United States to the extent they participate in such Benefit Plans). With respect to Covered Employees not described in the preceding sentence, Parent shall, and shall cause the Surviving Corporation and its subsidiaries to, comply with all applicable Laws, directives and regulations relating to employees and employee benefits matters applicable to such employees.

(f) The provisions of this Section 6.05 are solely for the benefit of the parties to this Agreement, and no Participant or any other individual associated therewith (including any beneficiary or dependent thereof) shall be regarded for any purpose as a third-party beneficiary of this Agreement, and no provision of this Section 6.05 shall create such rights in any such persons in respect of any benefits that may be provided, directly or indirectly, under any Company Benefit Plan or Company Benefit Agreement or any employee program or any plan or arrangement of Parent or any of its subsidiaries. No provision of this Agreement shall constitute a limitation on the rights to amend, modify or terminate after the Effective Time any such plans or arrangements of Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective subsidiaries, and nothing herein shall be construed as an amendment to any Company Benefit Plan or Company Benefit Agreement for any purpose. No provision of this Agreement shall require Parent to continue the employment of any employee of the Company or any Company Subsidiary for any specific period of time following the Effective Time.

SECTION 6.06. Indemnification.

(a) Parent and Sub shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, honor and fulfill in all respects the obligations of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries with respect to indemnification, advancement of expenses and exculpation existing as of the date of this Agreement in favor of the current or former directors and officers of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries or any person who becomes a director or officer of the Company or the Company Subsidiaries prior to the Acceptance Time (collectively, the “Indemnified Persons”) (i) under any indemnification agreements in effect as of the date of this Agreement between the

Company or any Company Subsidiary and any of the Indemnified Persons, for the duration of the applicable agreement, and (ii) as provided in their respective certificates of incorporation and by-laws (and other similar organizational documents) as of the date of this Agreement, for a period of six years from the Effective Time, for actions taken by any of the Indemnified Persons prior to the Effective Time, including, in the case of clause (ii), by causing the indemnification, advancement of expenses and exculpation provisions in such certificates of incorporation and by-laws (and other similar organizational documents) of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries to continue in full force and effect in accordance with their terms for a period of not less than six years from the Effective Time.

(b) The Company shall, at or prior to the Effective Time, purchase a six year “tail” prepaid policy on terms and conditions no less advantageous to the Indemnified Persons, or any other person entitled to the benefit of this Section 6.06, as applicable, than the existing directors’ and officers’ liability (and fiduciary) insurance maintained by the Company (the “Current D&O Insurance”), covering, without limitation, the Transactions for a total premium not in excess of the amount contained in the quote provided prior to the date of this Agreement and contained in Section 6.06(b) of the Company Disclosure Letter.

(c) If Parent or the Surviving Corporation or any of its successors or assigns shall (i) consolidate with or merge into any other person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger, or (ii) transfer all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any person, then, and in each such case, proper provisions shall be made so that the successors and assigns of the Surviving Corporation shall assume all of the obligations of Parent and the Surviving Corporation set forth in this Section 6.06.

(d) Except as required by applicable Law, the obligations set forth in this Section 6.06 shall not be terminated, amended or otherwise modified in any manner that adversely affects any Indemnified Person without the prior written consent of such affected Indemnified Person. Each of the Indemnified Persons (and, if and to the extent applicable, their heirs and representatives) are intended to be third party beneficiaries of this Section 6.06, with full rights of enforcement as if a party thereto. The rights of the Indemnified Persons (and, if and to the extent applicable, their heirs and representatives) under this Section 6.06 shall be in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other rights that such persons may have under the certificates of incorporation, by-laws or other equivalent organizational documents, any and all indemnification agreements of or entered into by the Company or any Company Subsidiary, or applicable Law (whether at law or in equity).

(e) 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 any Company Subsidiary for any of their respective directors, officers or other employees, it being understood and agreed that the indemnification provided for in this Section 6.06 is not prior to or in substitution for any such claims under such policies.

SECTION 6.07. Fees and Expenses.

(a) Except as provided below, all fees and expenses incurred in connection with the Transactions shall be paid by the party incurring such fees or expenses, whether or not the Transactions are consummated.

Any Termination Fee due under this Section 6.07(b) shall be paid by wire transfer of same-day funds on the date of termination of this Agreement if this Agreement is terminated by the Company pursuant to Section 8.01(e) or on the second business day following the date of termination if this Agreement is terminated by Parent pursuant to Section 8.01(d) or on the date of the consummation of such transactions in the case of clause (iii) above. For the avoidance of doubt, the Termination Fee shall be payable only once and not in duplication even though the Termination Fee may be payable under one or more provisions hereof.

(c) The parties hereto agree that the payment of the Termination Fee shall be the sole and exclusive remedy available to Parent and Sub for all losses and damages suffered with respect to this Agreement (including the termination hereof), the Transactions (including the abandonment thereof) and any matter forming the basis for termination of this Agreement in the event the Termination Fee becomes due and payable in accordance with this Agreement in connection with the valid termination hereof, and upon payment of the Termination Fee, the Company shall have no further liability or obligation to Parent or Sub relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the Transactions.

public statement regarding this Agreement or the Transactions without the written consent of the other party, except as may be required by applicable Law; provided, however, that should such a release or public statement be required by applicable Law, each of Parent and Sub, on the one hand, or the Company, on the other hand, shall promptly notify and, to the extent practicable, give the other party a reasonable opportunity to review and comment upon such release or other public statement.

SECTION 6.09. Transfer Taxes. All stock transfer, real estate transfer, documentary, stamp, recording and other similar Taxes (including interest, penalties and additions to any such Taxes) (“Transfer Taxes”) incurred in connection with the Transactions shall be paid by either Sub or the Surviving Corporation, and the Company shall cooperate with Sub and Parent in preparing, executing and filing any Tax Returns with respect to such Transfer Taxes.

SECTION 6.10. Directors.

(a) Effective as of the Acceptance Time and from time to time thereafter (as long as Parent and its affiliates beneficially own a majority of the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock), Sub shall be entitled to designate such number of directors on the Company Board as will give Sub, subject to compliance with Section 14(f) of the Exchange Act, representation on the Company Board equal to at least that number of directors, rounded up to the next whole number, which is the product of (i) the total number of directors on the Company Board (giving effect to the directors elected pursuant to this sentence) multiplied by (ii) the percentage that (A) such number of shares of Company Common Stock so accepted for payment and paid for by Sub plus the number of shares of Company Common Stock owned by Parent and Sub or any other subsidiary of Parent bears to (B) the total number of such shares of Company Common Stock outstanding, and the Company shall, at such time, cause Sub’s designees to be so elected; provided, however, that in the event that Sub’s designees are appointed or elected to the Company Board, until the Effective Time the Company Board shall have at least three directors who are members of the Company Board on the date of this Agreement and independent directors for purposes of the continuing listing requirements of NASDAQ, but who are not affiliates or employees of Parent or any of its subsidiaries (the “Independent Directors”); provided further that, in such event, if the number of Independent Directors shall be reduced below three for any reason whatsoever, any remaining Independent Directors (or Independent Director, if there shall be only one remaining) shall be entitled to designate persons to fill such vacancies who shall be deemed to be Independent Directors for purposes of this Agreement or, if no Independent Directors then remain, the other directors shall designate three persons to fill such vacancies who are not, at the time of appointment, officers, stockholders or affiliates of the Company, Parent or any of its subsidiaries and such persons shall be deemed to be Independent Directors for purposes of this Agreement. Subject to applicable Law, the Company shall take all action requested by Parent necessary to effect any such election, including mailing to its stockholders the Information Statement containing the information required by Section 14(f) of the Exchange Act and Rule 14f-1 promulgated thereunder, and the Company shall make such mailing with the mailing of the Schedule 14D-9 (provided that Parent and Sub shall have provided to the Company on a timely basis all information required to be included in the Information Statement with respect to Sub’s designees to the Company Board in accordance with Section 1.02(b)). Parent and Sub will be solely responsible for any information with respect to

them and their nominees, officers, directors and Affiliates required by Section 14(f) of the Exchange Act and Rule 14f-1 promulgated thereunder. In connection with the foregoing, the Company shall promptly, at the option of Sub, either increase the size of the Company Board or obtain the resignation of such number of its current directors as is necessary to enable Sub’s designees to be elected or appointed to the Company Board as provided above.

(b) A termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.01, an amendment of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.03 or an extension or waiver pursuant to Section 8.04 shall, in order to be effective, require in the case of Parent, Sub or the Company, action by its Board of Directors; provided, however, that after the appointment of Sub’s designees to the Company Board pursuant to Section 6.10(a), the approval of a majority of the Independent Directors shall be required for the Company to authorize: (i) any termination of, or any agreement to terminate, this Agreement by or on behalf of the Company, (ii) any exercise or waiver of any of the Company’s rights or remedies under this Agreement, (iii) any amendment to the Company Charter, the Company By-laws and other charter and organizational documents of the Company other than as contemplated by this Agreement in connection with the Merger, (iv) any extension of time for, or waiver by the Company of, the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of Parent or Sub under this Agreement, (v) any agreement between the Company and any of the Company Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and Parent, Sub or any of their respective Affiliates, on the other hand or (vi) any amendment, waiver or modification of this Agreement that would, or would be reasonably likely to, adversely affect the rights of the holders of Company Common Stock under this Agreement.

(c) by Parent, if the Company breaches or fails to perform in any material respect any of its representations, warranties or covenants contained in this Agreement, which breach or failure to perform (i) would give rise to the failure of any condition to the Offer set forth in subsections (c) or (d) of Exhibit A and (ii) cannot be or has not been cured within 45 days after the giving of written notice to the Company of such breach (provided that Parent is not then in material breach of any representation, warranty or covenant contained in this Agreement);

(f) by the Company, if Parent or Sub breaches or fails to perform in any material respect any of its representations, warranties or covenants contained in this Agreement, which breach or failure to perform (i) would give rise to a Parent Material Adverse Effect and (ii) cannot be or has not been cured within 45 days after the giving of written notice to Parent of such breach (provided that the Company is not then in material breach of any representation, warranty or covenant contained in this Agreement).

SECTION 8.02. Effect of Termination. In the event of termination of this Agreement by either the Company or Parent as provided in Section 8.01, this Agreement shall forthwith become void and have no effect, without any liability or obligation on the part of Parent, Sub or the Company (except with respect to the breach in any material respect by a party of any representation, warranty or covenant set forth in this Agreement prior to the date of termination); provided, however, that Section 3.21, Section 4.06, the last sentence of Section 6.02, Section 6.07, this Section 8.02 and Article IX shall survive the termination of this Agreement for any reason.

SECTION 8.03. Amendment. This Agreement may be amended by the parties at any time prior to the Effective Time, subject to Section 6.06 and Section 6.10. This Agreement may not be amended except by an instrument in writing signed on behalf of each of the parties.

SECTION 9.04. Interpretation; Disclosure Letters.

(a) The headings contained in this Agreement and in the table of contents to this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. All Exhibits attached hereto or referred to herein are hereby incorporated in and made a part of this Agreement as if set forth in full herein. Any terms used in any Exhibit but not otherwise defined therein shall have the respective meanings as defined in this Agreement. The definitions of terms herein shall apply equally to the singular and plural forms of the terms defined. Whenever the context may require, any pronoun shall include the corresponding masculine, feminine and neuter forms. The word “will” shall be construed to have the same meaning as the word “shall”. The words “include”, “includes” and “including” shall be deemed to be followed by the phrase “without limitation”. The word “extent” in the phrase “to the extent” shall mean the degree to which a subject or other thing extends, and such phrase shall not mean simply “if”. The word “or” shall not be exclusive. Unless the context requires otherwise (i) any definition of or reference to any agreement, instrument or other document or any Law herein shall be construed as referring to such agreement, instrument or other document or Law as from time to time amended, supplemented or otherwise modified, (ii) any reference herein to any person shall be construed to include such person’s successors and assigns, (iii) the words “herein”, “hereof” and “hereunder”, and words of similar import, shall be construed to refer to this Agreement in its entirety and not to any particular provision hereof, (iv) all references herein to Articles, Sections and Exhibits shall be construed to refer to Articles and Sections of, and Exhibits to, this Agreement and (v) all references herein to “dollars”, “cash” and “$” shall be construed to refer to U.S. dollars.

SECTION 9.05. Severability. Any term or provision of this Agreement which is invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to that jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability and, unless the effect of such invalidity or unenforceability would prevent the parties hereto from realizing the major portion of the economic benefits of the Transactions that they anticipate obtaining therefrom as of the date of this Agreement, shall not render invalid or unenforceable the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement or affect the validity or enforceability of any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement in any other jurisdiction. Upon final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction that any term or provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto agree that the court making such determination shall have the power to limit such term or provision, to delete specific words or phrases or to replace such term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, and, subject to the first sentence of this Section 9.05, this Agreement shall be valid and enforceable as so modified. In the event such court does not exercise the power granted to it in the prior sentence, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to replace such invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a valid and enforceable term or provision so as to effect the original economic, business and other purposes of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner to the end that economic, business and other purposes of such invalid or unenforceable term or provision are fulfilled to the extent possible.

SECTION 9.06. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed and original but all of which taken together shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the parties and delivered to the other parties. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic image scan transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

SECTION 9.07. Entire Agreement; No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement (including the exhibits hereto), the Company Disclosure Letter and the Confidentiality Agreement (a) constitute the entire agreement, and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the parties with respect to the Transactions and (b) is not intended to confer upon any person other than the parties any rights or remedies. Notwithstanding clause (b) of the immediately preceding sentence, following the Effective Time, the following persons are intended as third party beneficiaries of this Agreement: (i) the security holders of the Company as provided in Article II and Section 6.04; and (ii) the indemnified parties as provided in Section 6.06. Nothing in this Agreement shall modify, alter or otherwise derogate from any right or remedy available to any stockholder of the Company under the Exchange Act in connection with the Transactions.

SECTION 9.08. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, regardless of the laws that might otherwise govern under applicable principles of conflicts of laws.

SECTION 9.09. Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations under this Agreement shall be assigned, in whole or in part, by operation of law or otherwise by any of the parties without the prior written consent of the other parties, except that Sub may assign, in its sole discretion, any of or all its rights, interests and obligations under this Agreement to Parent or to any direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Parent, but no such assignment shall relieve Sub of any of its obligations under this Agreement. Any purported assignment without such consent shall be void. Subject to the preceding sentences, this Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by, the parties and their respective successors and assigns.

SECTION 9.10. Enforcement; Jurisdiction. The parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware and, in the case of appeals, the appropriate appellate court therefrom (unless the Delaware Court of Chancery shall decline to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, in which case any Delaware state or federal court within the State of Delaware), this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. The parties hereto further agree to waive any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with obtaining any such injunctive or other equitable relief. In addition, each of the parties hereto (a) consents to submit itself to the personal jurisdiction of jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (unless the Delaware Court of Chancery shall decline to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, in which case any Delaware state or federal court within the State of Delaware) in the event any dispute arises out of this Agreement or any Transaction, (b) agrees that it will not attempt to deny or defeat such personal jurisdiction by motion or other request for leave from any such court, (c) agrees that it will not bring any action relating to this Agreement or any Transaction in any court other than the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (unless the Delaware Court of Chancery shall decline to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, in which case any Delaware state or federal court within the State of Delaware) and (d) irrevocably waives any right to trial by jury with respect to any action related to or arising out of this Agreement or any Transaction.

Any reference to a condition or requirement being satisfied shall be deemed met or satisfied if such condition is waived. The failure by Parent, Sub or any of their affiliates at any time to exercise any of the foregoing rights shall not be deemed a waiver of any such right, the waiver of any such right with respect to particular facts and circumstances shall not be deemed a waiver with respect to any other facts and circumstances and each such right shall be deemed an ongoing right that may be asserted at any time and from time to time.

The Corporation shall indemnify each of the Corporation’s directors and officers in each and every situation where, under Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, as amended from time to time (“Section 145”), the Corporation is permitted or empowered to make such indemnification. The Corporation may, in the sole discretion of the Board of Directors of the Corporation, indemnify any other person who may be indemnified pursuant to Section 145 to the extent the Board of Directors deems advisable, as permitted by Section 145. The Corporation shall promptly make or cause to be made any determination required to be made pursuant to Section 145.

B. No person shall be personally liable to the Corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, provided, however, that the foregoing shall not eliminate or limit the liability of a director (i) for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the Corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under Section 174 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. If the General Corporation Law of the State of

Delaware is subsequently amended to further eliminate or limit the liability of a director, then a director of the Corporation, in addition to the circumstances in which a director is not personally liable as set forth in the preceding sentence, shall not be liable to the fullest extent permitted by the amended General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware. For purposes of this Article IX, “fiduciary duty as a director” shall include any fiduciary duty arising out of serving at the Corporation’s request as a director of another corporation, partnership, joint venture or other enterprise, and “personal liability to the corporation or its stockholders” shall include any liability to such other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, and any liability to the corporation in its capacity as a security holder, joint venturer, partner, beneficiary, creditor or investor of or in any such other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise.

C. Any repeal or modification of this Article IX shall be prospective and shall not affect the rights under this Article IX in effect at the time of the alleged occurrence of any act or omission to act giving rise to liability or indemnification.
