ARTICLE 2

THE OFFER

Section 2.1 Tender Offer.

(a) Unless this Agreement shall have previously been validly terminated in accordance with Article 8, as promptly as practicable, but in any event within the ten (10) Business Day period commencing on the first (1^st) Business Day after the date hereof, Acquisition Sub shall commence (within the meaning of Rule 14d-2 under the Exchange Act) the Offer for (i) all of the outstanding Company Common Stock (including any Company Common Stock subject to repurchase rights in favor of the Company) at a price per share equal to the Common Stock Offer Price and (ii) all of the outstanding Company Series A Preferred Stock at a price per share equal to the Preferred Stock Offer Price. The date on which Acquisition Sub commences the Offer, within the meaning of Rule 14d-2 under the Exchange Act, is referred to as the “Offer Commencement Date.”

(b) Subject to Section 2.1(e), as promptly as practicable on the later of (i) the earliest date as of which Acquisition Sub is permitted under applicable Law to accept for payment Company Common Stock and Company Series A Preferred Stock tendered pursuant to the Offer (and not validly withdrawn), and (ii) the earliest date as of which each of the conditions set forth in Annex I (the “Offer Conditions”) shall have been satisfied or waived, Acquisition Sub shall (and Parent shall cause Acquisition Sub to) accept for payment all Company Common Stock and Company Series A Preferred Stock tendered pursuant to the Offer (and not validly withdrawn). The obligation of Acquisition Sub to accept for payment Company Common Stock and Company Series A Preferred Stock tendered pursuant to the Offer shall be subject only to the satisfaction or waiver of each of the Offer Conditions (and shall not be subject to any other conditions). As promptly as possible after the acceptance for payment of any Company Common Stock and Company Series A Preferred Stock tendered pursuant to the Offer, Acquisition Sub shall pay for such Company Common Stock and Company Series A Preferred Stock.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Parent and Acquisition Sub expressly reserve the right (x) to increase the Common Stock Offer Price or Preferred Stock Offer Price and (y) to waive any condition to the Offer (to the extent

permitted under applicable Laws) or modify the terms of the Offer, except that, without the prior written consent of the Company, neither Parent nor Acquisition Sub shall:

(i) change or waive the Minimum Condition;

(ii) decrease the number of Company Common Stock and Company Series A Preferred Stock sought to be purchased by Acquisition Sub in the Offer;

(iii) reduce the Common Stock Offer Price or Preferred Stock Offer Price;

(iv) extend or otherwise change the expiration date of the Offer (except to the extent required or permitted pursuant to Section 2.1(e));

(v) change the form of consideration payable in the Offer;

(vi) impose any condition to the Offer in addition to the Offer Conditions;

(vii) amend, modify or supplement any of the terms of the Offer in any manner adversely affecting, or that could reasonably be expected to have an adverse effect on, any of the holders of Company Common Stock or Company Series A Preferred Stock; or

(viii) take any action (or fail to take any action) that would result in the Merger not being permitted to be effected pursuant to Section 251(h) of the DGCL.

(d) Unless extended pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Offer shall expire at the later of (i) midnight (New York City time) on the date that is twenty (20) Business Days (for this purpose, calculated in accordance with Rule 14d-1(g)(3) under the Exchange Act) following the commencement (within the meaning of Rule 14d-2 under the Exchange Act) of the Offer or (ii) 5:00 p.m. (New York City Time) on December 18, 2017 (the “Initial Expiration Date”) or, in the event the Initial Expiration Date has been extended pursuant to and in accordance with this Agreement, the date and time to which the Offer has been so extended (the “Expiration Date”).

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, but subject to the Parties’ respective termination rights under Section 8.1, Acquisition Sub shall, and Parent shall cause Acquisition Sub to, extend the Offer from time to time as follows: (i) if on the then-scheduled Expiration Date, the Minimum Condition has not been satisfied or any of the other Offer Conditions has not been satisfied, or waived by Parent or Acquisition Sub if permitted hereunder, then Acquisition Sub shall extend the Offer for one (1) or more occasions in consecutive increments of up to ten (10) Business Days each (or such shorter period as may be agreed to by Parent and the Company) in order to permit the satisfaction of such Offer Conditions (subject to the right of Parent or Acquisition Sub to waive any Offer Condition, other than the Minimum Condition); and (ii) extend the Offer for the minimum period required by applicable Law, interpretation or position of the SEC or its staff or the NASDAQ Stock Market

(“NASDAQ”) or its staff applicable to the Offer; provided, however, that Acquisition Sub shall not be required to extend the Offer and the Expiration Date to a date later than the End Date.

(f) Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, the Common Stock Offer Price and Preferred Stock Offer Price shall be adjusted appropriately and proportionately 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 or Company Series A Preferred Stock occurring on or after the date hereof and prior to the Acceptance Time, and such adjustment to the Common Stock Offer Price and Preferred Stock Offer Price shall provide to the holders of Company Common Stock and Company Series A Preferred Stock the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such action; provided that nothing in this Section 2.1(f) shall be construed to permit the Company to take any action with respect to its securities that is prohibited by the terms of this Agreement.

(g) Neither Parent nor Acquisition Sub shall terminate or withdraw the Offer prior to the then scheduled Expiration Date unless this Agreement is validly terminated in accordance with the terms hereof. In the event that this Agreement is validly terminated pursuant to the terms hereof, Acquisition Sub shall (and Parent shall cause Acquisition Sub to) promptly (and in any event within twenty-four (24) hours of such termination or the next Business Day, if terminated on a non-Business Day), irrevocably and unconditionally terminate the Offer, shall not acquire any shares of Company Common Stock or Company Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to the Offer and shall cause any depository acting on behalf of Acquisition Sub to return, in accordance with applicable Law, all tendered shares of Company Common Stock and Company Series A Preferred Stock to the registered holders thereof.

Section 2.2 Actions of Parent and Acquisition Sub.

(a) On the Offer Commencement Date, Parent and Acquisition Sub shall (i) file with the SEC a Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO with respect to the Offer (together with all amendments and supplements thereto and including exhibits thereto, the “Schedule TO”) that will contain or incorporate by reference the offer to purchase (the “Offer to Purchase”) and form of the related letter of transmittal and summary advertisement (such Schedule TO and the documents included therein, together with all amendments, supplements and exhibits thereto, the “Offer Document”) and (ii) cause the Offer to Purchase and related documents to be disseminated to holders of shares of Company Common Stock and Company Series A Preferred Stock. Parent and Acquisition Sub agree that they shall cause the Offer Documents filed by either Parent or Acquisition Sub with the SEC to comply in all material respects with the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder and other applicable Law. Each of Parent, Acquisition Sub and the Company agrees 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, and Parent further agrees to use all reasonable efforts to promptly cause the Offer Documents as so corrected to be filed with the SEC and to promptly be disseminated to holders of shares of Company Common Stock and Company Series A Preferred Stock, in each case as and to the extent required by applicable Law and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. The Company shall

promptly furnish or otherwise make available to Parent, Acquisition Sub or Parent’s legal counsel any information concerning the Acquired Companies and the Company’s stockholders that is required or reasonably requested in connection with any action contemplated by this Section 2.2(a). The Company and its counsel shall be given reasonable opportunity to review and comment on the Offer Documents prior to the filing thereof with the SEC. Parent and Acquisition Sub agree to provide the Company and its counsel with copies of any comments (including a summary of any oral comments) that Parent, Acquisition Sub or their counsel may receive from the SEC or its staff with respect to the Offer Documents promptly after receipt of such comments. Each of Parent and Acquisition Sub shall respond promptly to any comments of the SEC or its staff with respect to the Offer Documents or the Offer. For purposes of this Agreement, and the Offer, unless otherwise mutually agreed to by the Company and Acquisition Sub, any shares of Company Common Stock and Company Series A Preferred Stock subject to notices of guaranteed delivery shall be deemed not to be validly tendered into the Offer unless and until the shares underlying such notices of guaranteed delivery are delivered to Acquisition Sub or to an agent of Acquisition Sub. The Company hereby consents to the inclusion in the Offer Documents of a description of the Company Board Recommendation as it may be amended or modified, and until but not after it is withdrawn, in each case as permitted by this Agreement, and to the inclusion of a copy of the Schedule 14D-9 with the Offer Documents disseminated to the holders of the shares of Company Common Stock and Company Series A Preferred Stock.

(b) Without limiting the generality of Section 9.10, and subject in all respects to the other terms and conditions of the Agreement and the Offer Conditions, Parent shall cause to be provided to Acquisition Sub all of the funds necessary to purchase any shares of Company Common Stock and Company Series A Preferred Stock that Acquisition Sub becomes obligated to purchase pursuant to the Offer, and shall cause Acquisition Sub to perform, on a timely basis, all of Acquisition Sub’s obligations under this Agreement. Parent and Acquisition Sub shall, and each of Parent and Acquisition Sub shall ensure that all of their respective controlled Affiliates shall, tender any shares of Company Common Stock and Company Series A Preferred Stock held by them into the Offer.

(c) The Parties expressly elect to have this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement governed by Section 251(h) of the DGCL and Parent and Acquisition Sub shall cause the Merger to be effected as soon as practicable following the consummation of the Offer.

Section 2.3 Actions of the Company.

(a) On the date the Offer Documents are first filed with the SEC, the Company shall file with the SEC and (following or contemporaneously with the initial dissemination of the Offer Documents to holders of Company Common Stock and Company Series A Preferred Stock, and subject to the final sentence of Section 2.3(b)) disseminate to holders of Company Common Stock and Company Series A Preferred Stock a Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9 (together with any amendments or supplements thereto, the “Schedule 14D-9”) that, subject to Section 2.3(d), shall contain the recommendation of the Company Board that stockholders of the Company tender their Company Common Stock and Company Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to the Offer (the “Company

Board Recommendation”). Parent and its counsel shall be given a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on the Schedule 14D-9 (including any amendment or supplement thereto) prior to the filing thereof with the SEC and/or the dissemination thereof to holders of Company Common Stock and Company Series A Preferred Stock; provided, however, that the Company need not give Parent and its counsel such opportunity to review and comment in connection with any amendment or supplement to the Schedule 14D-9 that relates to any Acquisition Proposal or any Change in Recommendation. The Company shall promptly provide Parent and its counsel with a copy or a description of any comments received by the Company (or its counsel) from the SEC or its staff with respect to the Schedule 14D-9. The Company shall respond promptly to any comments of the SEC or its staff with respect to the Schedule 14D-9 and give Parent and its counsel a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on any response to such comments provided to the SEC or its staff; provided, however, that the Company need not give Parent and its counsel such opportunity to review and comment in connection with any such response or comments that relate to any Acquisition Proposal or any Change in Recommendation.

(b) To the extent required by the applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, (i) each of Parent, Acquisition Sub and the Company shall promptly correct any information provided by it for use in the Schedule 14D-9 if such information shall have become false or misleading in any material respect, and (ii) the Company shall take all steps necessary to promptly cause the Schedule 14D-9, as supplemented or amended to correct such information, to be filed with the SEC and, subject to the final sentence of this Section 2.3(b), to be disseminated to holders of Company Common Stock and Company Series A Preferred Stock. Parent and Acquisition Sub shall promptly furnish to the Company all information concerning Parent or Acquisition Sub that may be reasonably requested by the Company in connection with any action contemplated by this Section 2.3(b). To the extent requested by the Company, Parent shall cause the Schedule 14D-9 and any supplement or amendment thereto to be mailed or otherwise disseminated to the holders of Company Common Stock and Company Series A Preferred Stock together with the Offer Documents disseminated to the holders of Company Common Stock and Company Series A Preferred Stock.

(c) Neither the Company Board nor any committee thereof shall, except as permitted by Section 2.3(d) or Section 6.2: (i) withdraw, modify, amend or qualify, in a manner adverse to Parent and Acquisition Sub, the Company Board Recommendation, (ii) approve, recommend or declare advisable any Acquisition Proposal, (iii) fail to include the Company Board Recommendation in the Schedule 14D-9, (iv) if any Acquisition Proposal (other than an Acquisition Proposal in the circumstances described in clause (v) below) has been made public, fail to reaffirm the Company Board Recommendation upon request of Parent within five (5) Business Days upon receipt of a request from Parent to do so; provided, that, Parent may make such request only once with respect to such Acquisition Proposal unless such Acquisition Proposal is subsequently materially modified in which case Parent may make such request once each time such material modification is made, (v) fail to recommend against any Acquisition Proposal that is a tender offer or exchange offer subject to Regulation 14D under the Exchange Act within ten (10) Business Days after the commencement of such tender offer or exchange offer, (vi) publicly propose or publicly announce an intention to take any of the foregoing actions (any action described in clause “(i)” or clause “(vi)” being referred to as a “Change in Recommendation”), or (vii) cause the Company to enter into any letter of intent, memorandum of understanding, agreement in principle or contract (other than a confidentiality agreement

entered into in compliance with Section 6.2(a)) contemplating an Acquisition Proposal (any such contract, an “Alternative Acquisition Agreement”) or otherwise resolve or agree to do so.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, at any time prior to the Acceptance Time, the Company Board may:

(i) make a Change in Recommendation in response to an Acquisition Proposal and/or cause the Company to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(f) to enter into an Alternative Acquisition Agreement concerning an Acquisition Proposal if (and prior to taking such action): (A) such Acquisition Proposal did not result from a material breach of Section 6.2(a); (B) the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with the Company’s outside legal counsel and its financial advisor, (1) that such Acquisition Proposal would, if this Agreement or the Offer were not amended or an alternative transaction with Parent were not entered into, constitute a Superior Proposal and (2) that in light of such Acquisition Proposal, a failure to make a Change in Recommendation and/or to cause the Company to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(f) to enter into an Alternative Acquisition Agreement concerning such Acquisition Proposal would be inconsistent with the Company Board’s fiduciary obligations to the Company’s stockholders under applicable Laws; (C) the Company delivers to Parent a written notice (the “Superior Proposal Notice”) stating that the Company Board intends to take such action and (in the event the Company Board contemplates causing the Company to terminate this Agreement and enter into an Alternative Acquisition Agreement, including a copy of such Alternative Acquisition Agreement) specifying in reasonable detail the reasons therefor, including all required information under Section 6.2(b) (which notice shall not constitute a Change in Recommendation); (D) during the five (5) Business Day period commencing on the date of Parent’s receipt of such Superior Proposal Notice (as may be renewed pursuant to clause “(F)” below, the “Notice Period”), the Company shall, and shall cause its financial advisors, legal counsel and its representatives to, negotiate with Parent in good faith during the Notice Period (to the extent Parent desires to negotiate) regarding a possible amendment of this Agreement or the Offer or a possible alternative transaction so that the Acquisition Proposal that is the subject of the Superior Proposal Notice ceases to be a Superior Proposal; (E) after the expiration of the Notice Period, the Company Board shall have determined in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel and its financial advisor, and after taking into account any amendments to this Agreement and the Offer that Parent and Acquisition Sub have irrevocably agreed in writing to make as a result of the negotiations contemplated by clause “(D)” above, that (1) such Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal, and (2) the failure to make a Change in Recommendation and/or terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(f) to enter into such Alternative Acquisition Agreement would be inconsistent with the Company Board’s fiduciary obligations to the Company’s stockholders under applicable Laws; and (F) in the event of any material amendment to the terms of any Superior Proposal (including any financial terms), the Company shall, in each case, have delivered to Parent an additional notice consistent with that described in clause “(C)” above and a new Notice Period under this Section 2.3(d)(i) shall commence, during which time the Company shall be required to comply with the requirements of this Section 2.3(d)(i)

anew with respect to such additional notice, except that such Notice Period shall be two (2) Business Days instead of five (5) Business Days; or

(ii) make a Change in Recommendation not related to an Acquisition Proposal if (and prior to taking such action): (A) any Change in Circumstances arises; (B) the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel and its financial advisor, that, in light of such Change in Circumstances, a failure to effect a Change in Recommendation would be inconsistent with the Company Board’s fiduciary obligations to the Company’s stockholders under applicable Laws; (C) the Company delivers to Parent a written notice (the “Change in Circumstances Notice”) stating that the Company Board intends to effect a Change in Recommendation and specifying in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances causing such Change in Recommendation to be necessary, and such Change in Recommendation is not effected prior to the fifth Business Day after Parent receives from the Company the Change in Circumstances Notice; (D) during such five (5) Business Day period commencing on the date of Parent’s receipt of the Change in Circumstances Notice (as may be renewed pursuant to clause “(F)” below, the “Change in Circumstances Notice Period”), if requested by Parent, the Company engages in good faith negotiations with Parent to amend this Agreement or the Offer or enter into an alternative transaction so that a Change in Recommendation would no longer be necessary; (E) after the expiration of the Change in Circumstances Notice Period, the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel and its financial advisor and after taking into account any amendments to this Agreement and the Offer that Parent and Acquisition Sub have irrevocably agreed in writing to make as a result of the negotiations contemplated by clause “(D)” above, that, in light of such Change in Circumstances, a failure to effect a Change in Recommendation would be inconsistent with the Company Board’s fiduciary obligations to the Company’s stockholders under applicable Laws; and (F) in the event of any material change to the facts and circumstances specified by the Company pursuant to clause “(C)” above, the Company shall, in each case, have delivered to Parent an additional notice consistent with that described in clause “(C)” above and a new Change in Circumstances Notice Period under this Section 2.3(d)(ii) shall commence, during which time the Company shall be required to comply with the requirements of this Section 2.3(d)(ii) anew with respect to such additional notice, except that such Change in Circumstances Notice Period shall be two (2) Business Days instead of five (5) Business Days.

Section 3.6 Payment for Company Common Stock and Company Series A Preferred Stock.

(a) Prior to the Acceptance Time, Parent shall designate a bank or trust company reasonably acceptable to the Company to act as agent (the “Paying Agent”) for the holders of Company Common Stock and Company Series A Preferred Stock to receive the aggregate Common Stock Offer Price and Preferred Stock Offer Price to which holders of such shares shall become entitled pursuant to Section 2.1(b) and to act as agent for the holders of shares to receive the aggregate Merger Consideration to which holders of such shares shall become entitled pursuant to Section 3.5.

Parent shall ensure that, upon surrender to the Paying Agent of each such Company Stock Certificate or Book Entry Share (or affidavits of loss in lieu of the Company Stock Certificate pursuant to Section 3.12), together with a properly executed letter of transmittal, the holder of such Company Stock Certificate or Book Entry Share (or, under the circumstances described in Section 3.6(e), the transferee of the Company Common Stock or Company Series A Preferred Stock previously represented by such Company Stock Certificate or Book Entry Share) shall promptly receive in exchange therefor the amount of cash to which such holder (or transferee) is entitled pursuant to Section 3.5. Exchange of any Book Entry Shares shall be effected in accordance with the Paying Agent’s customary procedures with respect to securities represented by book entry.

(c) On or after the first anniversary of the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall be entitled to cause the Paying Agent to deliver to the Surviving Corporation any funds made available by Parent to the Paying Agent which have not been disbursed to holders of Company Stock Certificates or Book Entry Shares, and thereafter such holders shall be entitled to look to Parent and the Surviving Corporation with respect to the cash amounts payable upon surrender of their Company Stock Certificates or Book Entry Shares. Neither the Paying Agent nor the Surviving Corporation shall be liable to any holder of a Company Stock Certificate or Book Entry Share for any amount properly paid to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property or escheat law.

(e) In the event of a transfer of ownership of Company Common Stock or Company Series A Preferred Stock that is not registered in the transfer records of the Company, payment may be made with respect to such Company Common Stock or Company Series A Preferred Stock to a transferee of such Company Common Stock if the Company Stock

Certificate (if applicable) previously representing such Company Common Stock or Company Series A Preferred Stock is presented to the Paying Agent, accompanied by all documents reasonably required by the Paying Agent to evidence and effect such transfer and to evidence that any applicable stock transfer taxes relating to such transfer have been paid.

(f) The Surviving Corporation shall bear and pay all charges and expenses, including those of the Paying Agent, incurred in connection with the payment for Company Common Stock.

The cancellation of a Company Common Stock Option as provided in the immediately preceding sentence shall be deemed a release of any and all rights the holder thereof had or may have had in respect of such Company Common Stock Option. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall deliver to the holders of Company Common Stock Options notices, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Parent, setting forth such holders’ rights pursuant to this Agreement.

(c) Company Restricted Stock. At the Effective Time, each share of Company Restricted Stock Award, whether vested or unvested, that is outstanding immediately prior thereto shall become fully vested and all restrictions and repurchase rights thereon shall lapse and all such shares of Company Restricted Stock Awards shall be converted automatically into the right to receive at the Effective Time an amount in cash (without interest thereon) equal to

(d) Payment Procedures. At or prior to the Closing, Parent will deposit (or cause to be deposited) with the Company, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, the aggregate consideration payable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder of Company Compensatory Awards.

All such payments will be less any applicable withholding Taxes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any payment owed to a holder of Company Compensatory Awards pursuant to Section 3.7(b) or Section 3.7(c) as applicable, cannot be made through the Company’s or 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 overnight courier to such holder promptly following the Closing Date (but in no event more than two (2) Business Days thereafter).

Section 3.8 Appraisal Rights.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, any Company Common Stock or Company Series A Preferred Stock that constitute Appraisal Shares shall not be converted into or represent the right to receive payment in accordance with Section 3.5, and each holder of Appraisal Shares shall be entitled only to such rights with respect to such Appraisal Shares as may be granted to such holder pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL. From and after the Effective Time, a holder of Appraisal Shares shall not have and shall not be entitled to exercise any of the voting rights or other rights of a stockholder of the Surviving Corporation. If any holder of Appraisal Shares shall fail to perfect or shall otherwise lose such holder’s right of appraisal under Section 262 of the DGCL, then (i) any right of such holder to require the Surviving Corporation to purchase such Appraisal Shares for cash shall be extinguished, and (ii) such Appraisal Shares shall automatically be converted into and shall represent only the right to receive (upon the surrender of the Company Stock Certificate(s) or Book Entry Shares previously representing such Appraisal Shares) payment for such Appraisal Shares in accordance with Section 3.5.

(b) The Company (i) shall give Parent prompt written notice of any demand, or any withdrawal or attempted withdrawal of such demand, by any stockholder of the Company for appraisal of such stockholder’s Company Common Stock or Company Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL, and (ii) shall give Parent the opportunity and right to control all negotiations and proceedings with respect to any such demand.

To the extent that amounts are so withheld by the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent and withheld amounts are paid over to the applicable Governmental Entity in accordance with Laws or Order, then for all purposes of this Agreement such amounts shall be treated as having been paid to the former holder of a Company Stock Certificate or Company Common Stock Option in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.

Section 3.12 Lost Company Stock Certificates. If any Company Stock Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Company Stock 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 lost, stolen or destroyed Company Stock Certificate, the Paying Agent will issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Company Stock Certificate the Merger Consideration to be paid in respect of the shares of Company Common Stock formerly represented by such lost, stolen or destroyed Company Stock Certificate without any interest thereon.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each of Parent and Acquisition Sub (A) shall promptly provide all information requested by any Governmental Entity in connection with the Offer, the Merger or any of the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement and (B) shall use its reasonable best efforts to promptly take, and cause its controlled Affiliates to take, actions and steps necessary to obtain any clearance or approval required to be obtained from the U.S. Federal Trade Commission, the U.S. Department of Justice, any state attorney general, any foreign

competition authority or any other Governmental Entity in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Parent shall have the right to direct all matters with any Governmental Entity consistent with its obligations hereunder; provided, that, subject to reasonable limitations limiting access to outside counsel, Parent and the Company shall have the right to review in advance and, to the extent practicable, each will consult with the other on and consider in good faith the views of the other in connection with, any filing made with, or written materials submitted to or other communication with any Governmental Entity in connection with the Offer, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement. In exercising the foregoing rights, each of the Company and Parent shall act reasonably and as promptly as practicable.

(b) Without limiting the generality of anything contained in Section 6.3(a), subject to applicable Laws, each Party shall: (i) give the other Parties prompt written notice of the making or commencement of any request, inquiry, investigation, action or Legal Proceeding by or before any Governmental Entity with respect to the Offer or the Merger or any of the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement; (ii) keep the other Parties informed as to the status of any such request, inquiry, investigation, action or Legal Proceeding; and (iii) promptly inform the other Parties of any communication to or from the U.S. Federal Trade Commission, the U.S. Department of Justice or any other Governmental Entity regarding the Offer or the Merger. Each Party will consult and cooperate with the other Parties and will consider in good faith the views of the other Parties in connection with any analysis, appearance, presentation, memorandum, brief, argument, opinion or proposal made or submitted in connection with any such request, inquiry, investigation, action or Legal Proceeding. In addition, except as may be prohibited by any Governmental Entity or by any Law, in connection with any such request, inquiry, investigation, action or Legal Proceeding, each Party will permit authorized representatives of the other Parties to be present at each meeting or conference relating to such request, inquiry, investigation, action or Legal Proceeding and to have access to and be consulted in connection with any document, opinion or proposal made or submitted to any Governmental Entity in connection with such request, inquiry, investigation, action or Legal Proceeding.

(c) Subject to the terms of this Agreement, in the event that any litigation or other administrative or judicial action or Legal Proceeding is commenced challenging the Offer or the Merger or any of the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement and such litigation, action or Legal Proceeding seeks, or would reasonably be expected to seek, to prevent the consummation of the Offer or the Merger or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, each of the Company, Parent and Acquisition Sub shall cooperate with each other and use its respective reasonable best efforts to contest any such litigation, action or proceeding and to have vacated, lifted, reversed or overturned any decree, judgment, injunction or other order, whether temporary, preliminary or permanent, that is in effect and that prohibits, prevents or restricts consummation of the Offer or the Merger or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Section 6.4 Access. Upon reasonable advance written notice, the Company shall (and shall cause its Subsidiaries to) afford Parent’s representatives reasonable access, during normal business hours throughout the period prior to the Effective Time, to the Acquired Companies’ employees, customers, vendors, partners, properties, books, records and contracts and, during such period, the Company shall (and shall cause its Subsidiaries to) furnish promptly to Parent

all available information concerning its business as Parent may reasonably request; provided, however, that the Acquired Companies shall not be required to permit any inspection or other access, or to disclose any information, that in the reasonable judgment of the Company could: (a) result in the disclosure of any trade secrets of Third Parties; (b) violate any obligation of the Acquired Companies with respect to confidentiality, non-disclosure or privacy; (c) jeopardize protections afforded the Company under the attorney-client privilege or the attorney work product doctrine; (d) violate any Law (it being agreed that, with respect to subclauses (a), (b) and (c), that the Parties shall use their reasonable best efforts to cause such information to be provided in a manner that would not result in such jeopardy or contravention); or (e) materially interfere with the conduct of the Acquired Companies’ business. All information obtained by Parent and its representatives pursuant to this Section 6.4 shall be treated as “Evaluation Material” of the Acquired Companies for purposes of the Confidentiality Agreement. No investigation pursuant to this Section 6.4 shall affect or be deemed to modify any representation or warranty in this Agreement of any party hereto or otherwise limit or affect the remedies available to Parent. All requests for access pursuant to this Section 6.4 must be directed to the General Counsel of the Company or another Person designated in writing by the Company. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Parent and Acquisition Sub shall not, and shall cause their respective representatives not to, contact any customer or supplier of the Company in connection with the Merger or any of the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement without the Company’s prior consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), and Parent and Acquisition Sub acknowledge and agree that any such contact shall be arranged by and with a representative of the Company participating.

Section 6.5 Interim Operations of Acquisition Sub. During the period from the date hereof through the earlier of the Effective Time or the date of termination of this Agreement, Acquisition Sub shall not engage in any activities of any nature except as provided in or contemplated by this Agreement.

Section 6.6 Publicity. The initial press release relating to this Agreement shall be a joint press release issued by the Company and Parent, and thereafter until the Effective Time, the Company and Parent shall consult with each other before issuing any press release or making any public announcements or scheduling a press conference or conference calls with investors or analysts with respect to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents and shall not issue any such press release or make any such other public announcement without the prior consent of the other Parties, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided that (i) a party hereto may, without the prior consent of the other Parties, issue any press release or make any public statement or other announcement as may be required by Law or Order, by the rules of NASDAQ or by any listing agreement with or rules of any applicable national securities exchange, trading market or listing authority, if it has used its commercially reasonable efforts to consult with the other Parties and to obtain such Parties’ consent but has been unable to do so prior to the time such press release or public statement is so required to be issued or made, and (ii) the Company and Parent will not be obligated to engage in such consultation or obtain any such consent with respect to any communication (1) that is principally directed to employees, customers, partners or vendors so long as such communications are consistent with previous releases, public disclosures or public statements made jointly by the Parties (or individually, if approved by the other party), or (2) relating to an Acquisition Proposal, Superior Proposal, Change in Recommendation or “stop-

look-and-listen” communication or similar communication of the type contemplated by Rule 14d-9(f) under the Exchange Act. As promptly as practicable following the date of this Agreement and in compliance with applicable Laws, Parent and the Company shall develop a joint plan for communication to the Company’s employees, independent contractors, customers, suppliers and other strategic Persons about this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and upon development of such plan, Parent and the Company shall comply with such plan. Prior to making any written or oral communications to the employees or independent contractors of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries pertaining to compensation or benefit matters that are affected by the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Company shall provide Parent with a copy of the intended communication, Parent shall have a reasonable period of time to review and comment on the communication, and Parent and the Company shall cooperate in providing any such mutually agreeable communication; provided that the Company and Parent will not be obligated to engage in such consultation or obtain any such consent with respect to any communication that is principally directed to employees, customers, partners or vendors so long as such communications are consistent with previous releases, public disclosures or public statements made jointly by the Parties (or individually, if approved by the other Party).

Section 6.7 Other Employee Benefits.

(a) For a period of not less than twelve (12) months after the Closing Date or, if later, until December 31, 2018, Parent shall or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to provide to each employee of the Acquired Companies who continues employment with Parent or the Surviving Corporation following the Effective Time (each, a “Continuing Employee”) with (i) salary or base pay and target bonus and commission opportunities that, in the aggregate, are not less favorable than as provided to each such Continuing Employee immediately prior to the Effective Time and (ii) other compensation and benefits (excluding defined benefit plan benefits, equity and equity-based compensation) that, in the aggregate, are not less favorable than as provided to each such Continuing Employee immediately prior to the Effective Time.

(b) Parent shall ensure that, as of the Effective Time, each Continuing Employee receives full credit (for all purposes, including eligibility to participate, vesting, benefit accrual, vacation entitlement and severance benefits) for service with the Acquired Companies (or predecessor employers to the extent the Company provides such past service credit) under the comparable employee benefit plans, programs and policies of Parent or the Surviving Corporation, as applicable, in which such employees became participants; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not apply with respect to benefit accrual under any defined benefit pension plan or to the extent that its application would result in a duplication of benefits. As of the Effective Time, Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, credit to Continuing Employees the amount of vacation time that such employees had accrued under any applicable Company Benefit Plan as of the Effective Time. With respect to each health or welfare benefit plan maintained by Parent or the Surviving Corporation for the benefit of Continuing Employees, Parent shall (i) cause to be waived any eligibility waiting periods, any evidence of insurability requirements and the application of any pre-existing condition limitations under such plan, and (ii) cause each Continuing Employee to be given credit under such plan for all amounts paid by such Continuing Employee under any similar Company Benefit Plan for the plan year that includes the Effective Time for purposes of applying deductibles, co-payments and out-of-pocket maximums as though such amounts had been paid in

accordance with the terms and conditions of the plans maintained by Parent or the Surviving Corporation, as applicable, for the plan year in which the Effective Time occurs.

(c) Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to assume and honor in accordance with their terms (including terms relating to the amendment or termination of such plans, agreements and arrangements) all deferred compensation plans, agreements and arrangements, severance and separation pay plans, agreements and arrangements, and all written employment, severance, retention, incentive, change in control and termination agreements (including any change-in-control provisions therein) applicable to employees of the Company and in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time.

(d) If directed by Parent in writing at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the Acceptance Time, the Company shall terminate any and all Company Benefit Plans intended to qualify under Section 401(k) of the Code (the “401(k) Plans”), effective not later than the Business Day immediately preceding the Acceptance Time. In the event that Parent requests that such 401(k) Plan(s) be terminated, the Company shall provide Parent with evidence that such 401(k) Plan(s) have been terminated pursuant to resolutions of the Company Board (the form and substance of which shall be subject to review and reasonable approval by Parent).

(e) Nothing in this Section 6.7 or elsewhere in this Agreement is intended nor shall be construed to (i) be treated as an amendment to any particular Company Benefit Plan, (ii) prevent Parent from amending or terminating any of its benefit plans or any Company Benefit Plan assumed by Parent, in each case, in accordance their terms, (iii) create a right in any employee to employment with Parent or the Surviving Corporation, or (iv) create any third-party beneficiary rights in any employee of the Company with respect to the compensation, terms and conditions of employment and/or benefits that may be provided to any Continuing Employee by Parent or the Company or under any benefit plan which Parent, the Company or the Surviving Corporation may maintain.

Section 6.8 Compensation Arrangements. Prior to the Acceptance Time, the compensation committee of the Company Board (the “Compensation Committee”) will cause each Company Benefit Plan and Company employment agreement pursuant to which consideration is payable to any officer, director or employee who is a holder of any security of the Company to be approved by the Compensation Committee (comprised solely of “independent directors”) in accordance with the requirements of Rule 14d-10(d)(2) under the Exchange Act and the instructions thereto as an “employment compensation, severance or other employee benefit arrangement” within the meaning of Rule 14d-10(d)(2) under the Exchange Act and satisfy the requirements of the non-exclusive safe harbor set forth in Rule 14d-10(d) of the Exchange Act.

Section 6.9 Indemnification; Directors’ and Officers’ Insurance.

(a) For a period of six (6) years from the Effective Time, Parent will cause the Surviving Corporation to fulfill and honor in all respects the obligations of the Acquired Companies pursuant to (i) each indemnification agreement in effect between any Acquired Company and any Indemnified Party and (ii) any indemnification, exculpation from liability or advancement of expenses provision set forth in the Organizational Documents of the Acquired

Companies, in each case, as in effect on the date hereof. The Organizational Documents of the Surviving Corporation shall contain the provisions with respect to indemnification, exculpation from liability and advancement of expenses set forth in the Acquired Companies’ Organizational Documents on the date hereof and, for a period of six (6) years from the Effective Time, such provisions shall not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified in any manner that could adversely affect the rights thereunder of any Indemnified Party.

(b) Without limiting the provisions of Section 6.9(a), during the period commencing at the Effective Time and ending on the sixth (6^th) anniversary of the Effective Time, Parent shall indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnified Party against and from any costs, fees and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and investigation expenses), judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages, liabilities and amounts paid in settlement in connection with any claim, Legal Proceeding, arbitration, investigation or inquiry, whether civil, criminal, regulatory, legislative administrative or investigative, to the extent such claim, Legal Proceeding, arbitration, investigation or inquiry arises directly or indirectly out of or pertains directly or indirectly to (i) any action or omission or alleged action or omission in such Indemnified Party’s capacity as a director, officer, employee or agent of any Acquired Company occurring at or prior to the Effective Time or (ii) any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided, however, that if, at any time prior to the sixth (6^th) anniversary of the Effective Time, any Indemnified Party delivers to Parent or the Surviving Corporation a written notice asserting a claim for indemnification under this Section 6.9(b), then the claim asserted in such notice shall survive the sixth (6^th) anniversary of the Effective Time until such time as such claim is fully and finally resolved. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 6.9(b) or elsewhere in this Agreement, Parent agrees that it will not settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment or otherwise seek termination with respect to any claim, Legal Proceeding, arbitration, investigation or inquiry for which indemnification may be sought under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party unless such settlement provides for a full and unconditional release of the Indemnified Party. In addition, from and after the Effective Time, Parent shall, and shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, advance, prior to the final disposition of any claim, Legal Proceeding, arbitration, investigation or inquiry for which indemnification may be sought under this Agreement, promptly following written request by an Indemnified Party therefor, all reasonable costs, fees and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and investigation expenses) incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with any such claim, Legal Proceeding, arbitration, investigation or inquiry, in accordance with the terms of the Organizational Documents of the Acquired Companies and any indemnification agreement between any Acquired Company and any Indemnified Party, each as in effect as of the date of this Agreement (subject to such Indemnified Party providing an undertaking to repay such advanced expenses to Parent and the Surviving Corporation, if it is ultimately determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction that such Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Section 6.9).

(c) From the Effective Time through the sixth (6^th) anniversary of the Effective Time, Parent shall cause to be maintained in effect, for the benefit of the Indemnified Parties, the current level and scope of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage as set forth in the Company’s current directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies in effect as of the date hereof with respect to any action or omission or alleged action or omission occurring before or at the Effective Time, including with respect to any of the transactions contemplated by

this Agreement, except that in no event shall Parent or the Surviving Corporation be required to pay with respect to such insurance policies an annual premium greater than 300% of the aggregate annual premium most recently paid by the Acquired Companies prior to the date of this Agreement (the "Maximum Amount"); provided, however, that in lieu of the foregoing, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above, the Company may obtain a prepaid “tail” policy (the “Tail Policy”) prior to the Effective Time, which policy provides the Indemnified Parties with directors’ and officers’ liability insurance for a period ending no earlier than the sixth (6^th) anniversary of the Effective Time with respect to any action or omission or alleged action or omission occurring before or at the Effective Time, including with respect to any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Parent shall cause any such Tail Policy to be maintained in full force and effect, for its full term, and cause all obligations thereunder to be honored by the Surviving Corporation; provided, further, that in no event shall the Company be obligated to pay more than the Maximum Amount for such Tail Policy.

(d) In the event any Acquired Company or 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 of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, Parent shall ensure that the successors and assigns of the Company or the Surviving Corporation, or at Parent’s option, Parent, shall assume the obligations set forth in this Section 6.9.

(e) The rights of each Indemnified Party under this Section 6.9 shall be in addition to, and not in limitation of, any other rights such Indemnified Party may have under the Organizational Documents of the Company or the Surviving Corporation, under any other indemnification arrangement, under the DGCL or otherwise. This Section 6.9 shall survive the Acceptance Time and shall also survive consummation of the Merger and the Effective Time. This Section 6.9 is intended to benefit, and may be enforced by, the Indemnified Parties and their respective heirs, representatives, successors and assigns, and shall be binding on all successors and assigns of Parent and the Surviving Corporation. Section 6.9 may not be amended, altered or repealed after the Acceptance Time without the prior written consent of the affected Indemnified Party.

(f) For purposes of this Agreement, each individual who is or was an officer or director of any Acquired Company at any time prior to the Effective Time shall be deemed to be an “Indemnified Party.”

Section 6.10 Section 16 Matters. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall, and shall be permitted to, take all such steps as may reasonably be necessary to cause the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including any dispositions of shares of Company Common Stock (including any Company Common Stock Options or shares subject to Company Restricted Stock Awards) by each Person who is or will be subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act with respect to the Company, to be exempt under Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act.

Section 6.11 Transaction Litigation. The Company shall promptly advise Parent in writing of any Transaction Litigation and shall keep Parent informed on a reasonably prompt

basis regarding any such Transaction Litigation. The Company shall give Parent the opportunity to (a) participate in the defense of any Transaction Litigation, and (b) consult with counsel to the Company regarding the defense, settlement or compromise with respect to any such Transaction Litigation. For purposes of this Section 6.11, “participate” means that Parent will be kept reasonably apprised on a prompt basis of proposed strategy and other significant decisions with respect to the Transaction Litigation (to the extent that the attorney-client privilege between the Company and its counsel is not undermined or otherwise adversely affected), and Parent may offer comments or suggestions with respect to such Transaction Litigation which the Company shall consider in good faith; provided that the Company shall not settle or compromise or agree to settle or compromise any Transaction Litigation without Parent’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Following the Effective Time, the Indemnified Parties may continue to retain counsel retained prior to the Effective Time to defend any Transaction Litigation.

Section 6.12 Financing.

(a) Prior to the Closing, the Company and its Subsidiaries shall use commercially reasonable efforts, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the respective representatives of the Company and its Subsidiaries to, provide reasonable and customary cooperation to the extent reasonably requested by Parent in connection with the arrangement of the term loan and revolving loan facilities financing sought by Parent or its Affiliates in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Financing”), including using commercially reasonable efforts to: (i) participate in a reasonable number of meetings, presentations and due diligence sessions with prospective lenders in the Financing (but not more than one (1) primary bank meeting), in each case, upon reasonable advance notice and at mutually agreeable dates, locations and times; (ii) provide reasonable assistance with the preparation by Parent of customary materials for bank information memoranda and similar customary marketing documents required to be delivered in connection with arranging the Financing, and, to the extent requested by Parent at least two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, provide customary and reasonably required “know-your customer” information; and (iii) furnish historical financial information regarding the Company reasonably requested by the Parent in connection with the Financing; provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in no event shall the Company, its Subsidiaries or its representatives be required to prepare or furnish to any Person any pro forma financial information, any financial or other information that is not currently readily available to the Company and its Subsidiaries on the date hereof or is not otherwise prepared in the ordinary course of business of the Company and its Subsidiaries at the time requested by Parent, or to obtain review of any financial or other information by its accountants.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 6.12:

(i) nothing in this Section 6.12 will require any cooperation to the extent the same would (A) unreasonably interfere with the ongoing operations of the Company and/or its Subsidiaries, (B) cause any condition to Closing set forth herein to not be satisfied or otherwise cause any breach by the Company of this Agreement (provided that if Parent and Acquisition Sub agree in writing to waive such breach, then this Section 6.12(b)(i)(B) shall not excuse failure by the Company and its Subsidiaries to

cooperate in accordance with Section 6.12(a)) or (C) reasonably be expected to conflict with, violate, breach or otherwise contravene (1) any organizational document of the Company and/or its Subsidiaries, (2) any Law and/or (3) any agreement or arrangement to which the Company or its Subsidiaries is a party;

(ii) none of the Company, its Subsidiaries or their respective directors, officers, employees or representatives shall be required to execute, deliver or enter into, or perform any agreement, document or instrument, including any definitive financing document, with respect to any Financing or adopt resolutions approving the agreements, documents and/or instruments pursuant to which any Financing is obtained or pledge any collateral with respect to any Financing the effectiveness of which is not contingent upon the Closing or that would otherwise be effective prior to the Effective Time;

(iii) no director, officer, employee or other representative of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall be required to deliver any certificate or opinion that such director, officer, employee reasonably believes, in good faith, contains any untrue certifications or opinions, as applicable;

(iv) nothing herein shall require the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or representatives to cause the delivery of any legal opinions; and

(v) neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall be required to pay any commitment or other fee or have any liability or obligation, including any indemnification obligation, under any agreement or any document related to any Financing, in each case, until the Effective Time.

(c) Parent shall (i) promptly upon request by the Company (and in any event, prior to the Closing), reimburse the Company, its Subsidiaries and their Affiliates for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees and expenses of the Company, its Subsidiaries and their Affiliates, including without limitation, all reasonable and documented fees and expenses of their advisors, counsel and accountants incurred in connection with such requested cooperation, and (ii) indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its Subsidiaries and their Affiliates and representatives against any claim, loss, damage, injury, liability, Order, award, judgments, penalty, fine, Tax, cost (including cost of investigation), expense (including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel and accountants) or settlement payment incurred as a result of such cooperation in connection with the Financing and any information utilized in connection therewith (including any claim by or with respect to any such lenders, prospective lenders, agents and arrangers and ratings agencies). Each of Parent and Acquisition Sub acknowledges and agrees that its obligations under this Agreement to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including without limitation the Offer and the Merger, shall not be conditioned in any respect on Parent’s and/or Acquisition Sub’s receipt of proceeds from, or any other aspect of, the Financing.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the condition set forth in “2(e)” of Annex I, as it applies to the Company’s obligations under this Section 6.12, shall be deemed to be satisfied unless the Company has knowingly and willfully materially breached its obligations under this Section 6.12, and such breach has been the primary and direct

cause of the Financing not being obtained. “Willful” means, with respect to any agreement or covenant, where the breaching party knows an action or omission is, or would reasonably be expected to result in, a breach of such agreement or covenant.

Section 6.13 Financing Obligations of Parent.

(a) Parent shall keep the Company and its counsel reasonably informed of material developments in respect of the arrangement, documentation and consummation of the Financing process and shall provide the Company with true, correct and complete copies of all executed commitment letters, engagement letters and (subject to customary redactions of fee amounts) fee letters in connection therewith (collectively, the “Debt Financing Letter”) related to the Financing. Parent shall provide the Company, upon reasonable request, with copies of any material definitive documents related to the Financing (including drafts thereof) and such other information and documentation regarding the Financing and any syndication efforts as shall be reasonably requested to allow the Company to monitor the progress of such financing activities, in each case subject to any redactions for commercially sensitive information.

(b) All non-public or other confidential information provided by the Company, its Subsidiaries or their respective Affiliates or representatives pursuant to Section 6.12 shall be kept confidential in accordance with the Confidentiality Agreement and any other applicable terms of this Agreement; provided that Parent shall be permitted to disclose customary financial and other information with respect to the Company and its business to potential lenders and their respective representatives in connection with the Financing provided such lenders have entered into confidentiality arrangements with Parent prior to such disclosure.

(c) Parent and Acquisition Sub shall provide the Company a reasonable opportunity for prior review and consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) to all material information (that is not otherwise publicly available) regarding the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates contained in any presentations, offering documents, teasers or other marketing materials in connection with the Financing; provided that failure by the Company to respond after two (2) Business Days of written request by Parent of such information shall be deemed to be consent by the Company as to use of such information.

(i) by the Company upon prior written notice to Parent if Acquisition Sub fails to commence the Offer in accordance with Section 2.1 on or prior to November 22, 2017 or if Acquisition Sub fails to consummate the Offer in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1(i) shall not be available to the Company if the Company is in breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement set forth in this Agreement (subject to Section 6.12(d)) that has been the cause of, or resulted in, Acquisition Sub’s failure to commence the Offer in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

Section 8.2 Effect of Termination. In the event of the termination of this Agreement as provided in Section 8.1, this Agreement shall be of no further force or effect without liability of any party (or any representative of such party) to each other party hereto; provided, however, that: (a) this Section 8.2, Section 8.3 and Article 9 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and shall remain in full force and effect; and (b) the termination of this Agreement shall not relieve any party from any liabilities or damages arising out of its knowing or intentional breach of any provision of this Agreement or any other agreement delivered in connection herewith or any fraud, subject only, with respect to any such liabilities of the Company, to Section 8.3(b). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Parent and Acquisition Sub acknowledge and agree that any failure of Parent or Acquisition Sub to satisfy its obligation to accept for payment or pay for Company Common Stock and Company Series A Preferred Stock following satisfaction of the Offer Conditions, and any failure of Parent to cause the Merger to be effected following satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Article 7, will be deemed to constitute an intentional and material breach of a covenant of this Agreement. The Parties’ rights and remedies under the Confidentiality Agreement shall not be affected by a termination of this Agreement.

Section 8.3 Expenses; Termination Fee.

(a) Except as set forth in this Section 8.3 and Section 6.12, all fees and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the Offer, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated herein shall be paid by the party incurring such expenses, whether or not the Offer and Merger are consummated. For the avoidance of doubt, Parent shall pay all filing fees payable pursuant to the HSR Act or any other Antitrust Laws, and the Company shall not be required to pay any fees or other payments to any Governmental Entity in connection with any filings under the HSR Act or such other filings as may be required under applicable Antitrust Laws in connection with the Merger or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(b) If: (i) (A) this Agreement is validly terminated by Parent or the Company pursuant to Section 8.1(d) or by Parent pursuant to Section 8.1(g), (B) following the date hereof and prior to the time of the termination of this Agreement, an Acquisition Proposal shall have been publicly announced and (C) the Company consummates an Acquisition Proposal (with all

references to 15% in the definition of Acquisition Proposal being treated as 50% for purposes of this clause “(i)”) within twelve (12) months after such termination or the Company enters into a definitive agreement within twelve (12) months after such termination to effect an Acquisition Proposal, which Acquisition Proposal is subsequently consummated; (ii) this Agreement is terminated by Parent pursuant to Section 8.1(e); or (iii) this Agreement is terminated by the Company pursuant to Section 8.1(f), then in the case of each of clauses “(i)” through “(iii),” the Company shall pay or cause to be paid to Parent, in cash at the time specified in the next sentence, a termination fee in the amount of $7,712,711 (the “Termination Fee”). Any Termination Fee shall be paid: (x) in the case of clause “(i)” of the preceding sentence of this (b), within two (2) Business Days after the consummation of the transactions contemplated by such Acquisition Proposal, (y) in the case of clause “(ii)” of the preceding sentence of this (b), within two (2) Business Days following termination of this Agreement and (z) in the case of clause “(iii)” of the preceding sentence of this (b), concurrently with a termination of this Agreement under Section 8.1(f).

Any Termination Fee due under this Section 8.3(b) shall be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by Parent. 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. Subject to Section 8.2(b), in the event that Parent shall receive full payment of the Termination Fee, the receipt of the Termination Fee shall be deemed to be liquidated damages for any and all losses or damages suffered or incurred by Parent, Acquisition Sub, any of their respective Affiliates or any other Person in connection with this Agreement (and the termination hereof), the Offer and the Merger (and the abandonment thereof) or any matter forming the basis for such termination, and none of Parent, Acquisition Sub, any of their respective Affiliates or any other Person shall be entitled to bring or maintain any claim, action or proceeding against the Company or any of its Affiliates for damages or any equitable relief arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, any of the transactions or any matters forming the basis for such termination.

(c) The Company and Parent acknowledge and agree that the agreements contained in this Section 8.3 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and that, without these agreements, the Company and Parent would not enter into this Agreement. In the event that the Company shall fail to pay the Termination Fee when due, Parent shall be entitled to receive interest on such unpaid Termination Fee and Expenses, commencing on the date that the Termination Fee or such Expenses became due, at a rate equal to the “prime rate” as published in The Wall Street Journal, Eastern Edition, in effect on the date such payment was required to be made through the date of payment (calculated daily on the basis of a year of 365 days and the actual number of days elapsed, without compounding) and in the event the Parent or Acquisition Sub commences a suit that results in a judgment against the Company for the Termination Fee (or portion thereof), the Company shall pay Parent its reasonable and documented costs and expenses (including reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees and expenses) in connection with such suit.

Section 9.8 Severability. Any term or provision of this Agreement that is invalid or unenforceable in any situation in any jurisdiction shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions hereof or the validity or enforceability of the offending term or provision in any other situation or in any other jurisdiction. If the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction declares that any term or provision hereof is invalid or unenforceable, the Parties agree that the court making such determination shall have the power to limit the term or provision, to delete specific words or phrases or to replace any invalid or unenforceable 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 this Agreement shall be enforceable as so modified. In the event such court does not exercise the power granted to it in the prior sentence, the Parties agree to replace such invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a valid and enforceable term or provision that will achieve, to the extent possible, the economic, business and other purposes of such invalid or unenforceable term.

Section 9.9 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed and delivered (including by facsimile or other form of electronic transmission) in one or more counterparts, and by the different Parties in separate counterparts, each of which when executed shall be deemed to be an original but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

Parent shall cause Acquisition Sub to comply in all respects with each of the representations, warranties, covenants, obligations, agreements and undertakings made or required to be performed by Acquisition Sub in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Offer, the Merger, and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement. As a material inducement to the Company’s willingness to enter into this Agreement and perform its obligations hereunder, Parent hereby unconditionally guarantees full performance and payment by Acquisition Sub of each of the covenants, obligations and undertakings required to be performed by Acquisition Sub under this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, subject to all terms, conditions and limitations contained in this Agreement, and hereby represents, acknowledges and agrees that any such breach of any such representation and warranty or default in the performance of any such covenant, obligation, agreement or undertaking of Acquisition Sub shall also be deemed to be a breach or default of Parent, and the Company shall have the right, exercisable in its sole discretion, to pursue any and all available remedies it may have arising out of any such breach or nonperformance directly against either or both of Parent and Acquisition Sub in the first instance. As applicable, references in this Section 9.10 to “Acquisition Sub” shall also include the Surviving Corporation following the Effective Time.

Section 9.11 Specific Performance The Parties agree that irreparable damage would occur and that the Parties would not have any adequate remedy at law in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached, except as expressly provided in the following sentence. It is accordingly agreed that the Parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in the Delaware Courts and, in any action for specific performance, each Party waives the defense of adequacy of a remedy at law and waives any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with such remedy, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity (subject to the limitations set forth in this Agreement). The Parties further agree that (i) by seeking the remedies provided for in this Section 9.11, a Party shall not in any respect waive its right to seek any other form of relief that may be available to a Party under this Agreement (including monetary damages) for breach of any of the provisions of this Agreement or in the event that this Agreement has been terminated or in the event that the remedies provided for in this Section 9.11 are not available or otherwise are not granted, and (ii) nothing set forth in this Section 9.11 shall require any Party to institute any proceeding for (or limit any Party’s right to institute any proceeding for) specific performance under this Section 9.11 prior or as a condition to exercising any termination right under Article 8 (and pursuing damages after such termination), nor shall the commencement of any Legal Proceeding pursuant to this Section 9.11 or anything set forth in this Section 9.11 restrict or limit any Party’s right to terminate this Agreement in accordance with the terms of Article 8 or pursue any other remedies under this Agreement that may be available at any time.

EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER AGREEMENTS EXECUTED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY (INCLUDING ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING AGAINST THE FINANCING SOURCES RELATED PARTIES ARISING OUT OF OR

RELATED TO THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY, THE FINANCING, ANY DOCUMENTS RELATED TO THE FINANCING OR THE PERFORMANCE THEREOF OR OF SERVICES WITH RESPECT THERETO). NO PARTY WILL SEEK TO CONSOLIDATE ANY SUCH ACTION IN WHICH A JURY TRIAL HAS BEEN WAIVED (INCLUDING ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING AGAINST THE FINANCING SOURCES RELATED PARTIES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY, THE FINANCING OR THE PERFORMANCE OF SERVICES WITH RESPECT THERETO) WITH ANY OTHER ACTION IN WHICH A JURY TRIAL CANNOT BE OR HAS NOT BEEN WAIVED.

Section 9.12 Financing Source Non-Recourse. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement, none of the Acquired Companies or any of their respective Affiliates or their Affiliates’ respective current, former or future directors, officers, employees, agents, partners, managers, members, controlling persons, stockholders, assignees or representatives (collectively, the “Company Related Parties”), shall have any rights or claims against any Financing Sources Related Parties, and the Company Related Parties hereby acknowledge that the Financing Sources Related Parties shall be subject to no liability or claims (whether legal or equitable, arising under contract, tort or otherwise) by any Company Related Party, in each case arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the Financing, or the transactions contemplated hereby or in connection with the Financing, or the performance of services by such Financing Sources Related Parties with respect to the foregoing. In no event shall the Company or any of its respective Affiliates, and the Company agrees not to and to cause its Affiliates not to (i) seek to enforce this Agreement against, make any claims for breach of this Agreement against, or seek to recover monetary damages in connection with this Agreement or the Financing from, any Financing Sources Related Party or (ii) seek to enforce any commitment in connection with this Agreement or the Financing against, make any claims for breach of any debt commitment letter in connection with this Agreement or the Financing against, or seek to recover monetary damages from, or otherwise sue in connection with this Agreement or the Financing, the Financing Sources Related Parties. No Financing Sources Related Party shall be subject to any special, consequential, punitive or indirect damages or damages of a tortuous nature in connection with this Agreement or the Financing. Nothing in this Section 9.12 shall in any way limit or qualify the obligations and liabilities of the parties to any financing commitment letter, engagement letter, credit agreement or other financing agreement entered into in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated therein to each other or in connection therewith.

(2) In addition and notwithstanding any other provisions of the Offer, but subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, Acquisition Sub shall not be required to, and Parent shall not be required to cause Acquisition Sub to, accept for payment or, subject to

I-1

any applicable rules and regulations of the SEC, including Rule 14e-1(c) under the Exchange Act (relating to Acquisition Sub’s obligation to pay for or return tendered shares of Company Common Stock and Company Series A Preferred Stock promptly after termination or withdrawal of the Offer), pay for any shares of Company Common Stock and Company Series A Preferred Stock validly tendered (and not withdrawn) pursuant to the Offer (and not theretofore accepted for payment or paid for) if at any time on or after the date of this Agreement and prior to the Expiration Date, any of the following events shall occur and be continuing at the Expiration Date:

(a) the Agreement shall have been terminated in accordance with its terms;

(b) any Governmental Entity of competent jurisdiction shall have enacted, issued, promulgated, enforced or entered any Law (whether temporary, preliminary or permanent) that is in effect and restrains, enjoins or otherwise prohibits, or issued a final and nonappealable Order, or taken any other action, that is in effect and permanently restrains, enjoins or otherwise prohibits, in each case, the consummation of the Offer, the Merger or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement or imposes a Burdensome Restraint;

(c) any Governmental Entity shall have instituted any litigation or other administrative or judicial action or Legal Proceeding (which remains pending at what would otherwise be the Acceptance Time) before any United States court or other Governmental Entity of competent jurisdiction seeking to restrain, enjoin or otherwise prohibit consummation of the Offer, the Merger or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement;

(d) (i) other than the representations set forth in clauses (ii) and (iii) below, all other representations and warranties of the Company set forth in the Agreement shall not have been true and correct (in each case, disregarding all qualifications and exceptions contained therein regarding materiality or Company Material Adverse Effect or similar standard or qualification) as of the date of the Agreement and as of the Expiration Date as though made on and as of such date and time (except to the extent that any such representation and warranty expressly speaks as of an earlier date, in which case such representation and warranty shall not have been true and correct as of such earlier date), except where the failure of any such representation or warranty to be so true and correct would not, individually or in the aggregate, have or reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect; (ii) the representations and warranties set forth in Section 4.1(a) (Due Organization and Good Standing) (solely to the extent relating to the Company), Section 4.16 (Authority; Binding Nature of Agreement) and Section 4.21 (Brokers) shall not have been true and correct in all material respects as of the date of the Agreement and as of the Expiration Date as though made on and as of such date and time (except to the extent that any such representation and warranty expressly speaks as of an earlier date, in which case such representation and warranty shall not have been true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date); and (iii) the representations and warranties set forth in Section 4.3(a) (Capitalization) shall not have been true and correct in all respects as of the date of the Agreement and as of the Expiration Date as though made on and as of such date and time (except to the extent that any such representation and warranty expressly speaks as of an earlier date, in which case such representation and warranty shall not have been true and correct as of such earlier date), except for any de minimis inaccuracies;

I-2

(e) the Company shall not have performed or complied in all material respects with the obligations, agreements and covenants required to be performed by it under the Agreement (subject to Section 6.12(d));

(f) the Company shall not have delivered to Parent dated as of the Expiration Date a certificate signed on behalf of the Company by a senior executive officer of the Company to the effect that the conditions set forth in the foregoing clauses (2)(d) and (2)(e) have been satisfied as of immediately prior to the Expiration Date; or

(g) since the date of the Agreement, there shall have occurred and be continuing any event, change, effect or development that, individually or in the aggregate, has had or would reasonably be expected to have, a Company Material Adverse Effect;

The foregoing conditions are for the sole benefit of Parent and Acquisition Sub and may be waived by Parent and Acquisition Sub, in whole or in part at any time and from time to time, in the sole discretion of Parent and Acquisition Sub; provided that the Minimum Condition may be waived by Parent and Acquisition Sub only with the prior written consent of the Company, which may be granted or withheld in the Company’s sole discretion, in each case, subject to the terms of the Agreement and the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC. The failure by Parent or Acquisition 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 which may be asserted at any time and from time to time. All capitalized terms used but not defined in this Annex I shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Agreement to which this Annex I is attached.
