ARTICLE 2
The Merger

Section 2.01. The Merger.

(a) On the terms and subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in this Agreement, and in accordance with the DGCL, at the Effective Time, Merger Subsidiary shall be merged with and into the Company in the Merger, whereupon, the separate existence of Merger Subsidiary shall cease and the Company shall be the surviving corporation of the Merger (the "Surviving Corporation") and shall continue its corporate existence under the laws of the State of Delaware as a direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent.

(b) Subject to the provisions of Article 9, the closing of the Merger (the "Closing") shall take place at the offices of Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP, 155 North Wacker Drive Chicago, Illinois 60606 at 9:00 a.m. New York City time, on the date specified by the parties hereto, but in any event no later than the third (3rd) Business Day after the date the conditions set forth in Article 9 (other than conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or, to the extent permissible, waiver of those conditions at the Closing by the party or parties entitled to the benefit of such conditions) have been satisfied or, to the extent permissible, waived by the party or parties entitled to the benefit of such conditions, or at such other place, at such other time or on such other date as Parent and the Company may mutually agree consistent with the DGCL (the date on which the Closing occurs, the "Closing Date").

(c) At the Closing, the Company and Merger Subsidiary shall file a certificate of merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware and make all other filings or recordings required by the DGCL in connection with the Merger. The Merger shall become effective at such time (the "Effective Time") as the certificate of merger is duly filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (or at such later date and time as may be specified in the certificate of merger).

(d) From and after the Effective Time, the Merger shall have the effects set forth in Section 259 of the DGCL and this Agreement.

Section 2.02. Conversion of Shares. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holders thereof:

(a) except as otherwise provided in Section 2.02(b), Section 2.02(c) or Section 2.04, each share of Company Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into the right to receive (x) $11.80 in cash, without interest (the "Cash Consideration") and (y) 0.1612 shares of Parent Stock (subject to Section 2.03 and Section 2.09) (the "Stock Consideration" and, together with the Cash Consideration, the "Merger Consideration"). As of the Effective Time, all such shares of Company Stock shall no longer be outstanding and shall cease to exist, and each such share shall thereafter represent only the right to receive (A) the Merger Consideration and (B) with respect to the Stock Consideration, the right to receive (i) cash in lieu of any fractional shares of Parent Stock pursuant to Section 2.09 and (ii) any dividends or other distributions with respect to shares of Parent Stock pursuant to Section 2.03(h), in each case, to be paid in accordance with Section 2.03, without interest;

(b) each share of Company Stock held by the Company as treasury stock or owned by Parent or Merger Subsidiary immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be canceled, and no payment shall be made with respect thereto;

(c) each share of Company Stock held by any wholly-owned Subsidiary of either the Company or Parent (other than Merger Subsidiary) immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into such number of shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Surviving Corporation such that each such Subsidiary owns the same percentage of the Surviving Corporation immediately following the Effective Time as such Subsidiary owned of the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time; and

(d) each share of common stock of Merger Subsidiary outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and become one share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Surviving Corporation and, together with any shares of common stock of the Surviving Corporation issued pursuant to Section 2.02(c), shall constitute the only outstanding shares of capital stock of the Surviving Corporation.

Section 2.03. Surrender and Payment.

(a) Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall appoint its transfer agent or another agent reasonably acceptable to the Company (the "Exchange Agent") and enter into an exchange agent agreement with the Exchange Agent reasonably acceptable to the Company for the purpose of exchanging for the Merger Consideration (A) certificates representing shares of Company Stock (the "Certificates") or (B) uncertificated shares of Company Stock (the "Uncertificated Shares"). Promptly after the Effective Time (but in no event later than five Business Days after the Effective Time), Parent shall send, or shall cause the Exchange Agent to send, to each holder of shares of Company Stock at the Effective Time a letter of transmittal (in a form that was reasonably acceptable to the Company prior to the Effective Time) and instructions (which shall specify that the delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title shall pass, only upon proper delivery of the Certificates or transfer of the Uncertificated Shares to the Exchange Agent) for use in such exchange.

(b) Each holder of shares of Company Stock that have been converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration shall be entitled to receive, upon (i) surrender to the Exchange Agent of a Certificate (or affidavit in lieu thereof pursuant to Section 2.07), together with a properly completed letter of transmittal, in the case of Certificates, or (ii) receipt of such evidence, if any, as the Exchange Agent may reasonably request in the case of a surrender of Uncertificated Shares, the Merger Consideration in respect of the Company Stock represented by a Certificate or Uncertificated Share (including cash in lieu of any fractional shares of Parent Stock to be paid pursuant to Section 2.09 and dividends or other distributions with respect to shares of Parent Stock to be paid pursuant to Section 2.03(h)). Until so surrendered or transferred, as the case may be, each such Certificate or Uncertificated Share shall represent after the Effective Time for all purposes only the right to receive such Merger Consideration (including cash in lieu of any fractional shares of Parent Stock to be paid pursuant to Section 2.09 and dividends or other distributions with respect to shares of Parent Stock to be paid pursuant to Section 2.03(h)). At or prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall deposit, or cause to be deposited, with the Exchange Agent, for the benefit of the holders of Company Stock and for exchange in accordance with this Section 2.03, (x) certificates (or evidence of shares of Parent Stock in book-entry form) representing the shares of Parent Stock issuable pursuant to Section 2.02(a) in exchange for outstanding shares of Company Stock and (y) cash sufficient to pay the aggregate Cash Consideration payable pursuant to Section 2.02(a) (including cash in lieu of any fractional shares of Parent Stock to be paid pursuant to Section 2.09 and dividends or other distributions with respect to shares of Parent Stock to be paid pursuant to Section 2.03(h)) (such cash and shares of Parent Stock, collectively, the "Exchange Fund"). Parent agrees to make available, directly or indirectly, to the Exchange Agent from time to time, as needed, additional cash or other securities or assets sufficient to pay any dividends or other distributions to which such holders are entitled pursuant to Section 2.03(h), which amounts shall become part of the Exchange Fund. The cash in the Exchange Fund may, pending its disbursement to the holders of Company Stock, be invested by the Exchange Agent as directed by Parent; provided that no such investment or losses shall affect the amounts payable to such holders of Company Stock and Parent shall promptly replace or cause to be replaced any funds deposited with the Exchange Agent that are lost through any investment so as to ensure that the Exchange Fund is at all times maintained at a level sufficient for the Exchange Agent to pay the aggregate cash Merger Consideration (and the aggregate amount of cash in lieu of any fractional shares of Parent Stock to be paid pursuant to Section 2.09 and dividends or other distributions with respect to shares of Parent Stock to be paid pursuant to Section 2.03(h)). Earnings from investments, subject to the immediately preceding proviso, shall be paid to and shall be the sole and exclusive property of Parent. Except as contemplated by Section 2.03(e) hereof, the Exchange Fund shall not be used for any other purpose.

(c) If any portion of the Merger Consideration is to be paid to a Person other than the Person in whose name the surrendered Certificate or the transferred Uncertificated Share is registered, it shall be a condition to such payment that (i) either such Certificate shall be properly endorsed or shall otherwise be in proper form for transfer or such Uncertificated Share shall be properly transferred and (ii) the Person requesting such payment shall pay to the Exchange Agent any transfer or other Taxes or fees required as a result of such payment to a Person other than the registered holder of such Certificate or Uncertificated Share or establish to the satisfaction of the Exchange Agent that such Tax has been paid or is not payable.

(d) After the Effective Time, there shall be no further registration of transfers of shares of Company Stock. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates or Uncertificated Shares are presented to the Surviving Corporation or the Exchange Agent, they shall be exchanged for the Merger Consideration (including cash in lieu of any fractional shares of Parent Stock to be paid pursuant to Section 2.09 and dividends or other distributions with respect to shares of Parent Stock to be paid pursuant to Section 2.03(h)) provided for, and in accordance with the procedures set forth, in this Article 2.

(e) Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains unclaimed by the former holders of shares of Company Stock one year after the Effective Time shall be returned to Parent, upon demand, and any such former holder of shares of Company Stock who has not exchanged shares of Company Stock for the Merger Consideration in accordance with this Section 2.03 prior to that time shall thereafter look only to Parent for payment of the Merger Consideration, in respect of such shares of Company Stock without any interest thereon. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall not be liable to any holder of shares of Company Stock for any amounts properly paid to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar laws. Any amounts remaining unclaimed by holders of shares of Company Stock immediately prior to such time when such amounts would otherwise escheat to or become property of any Governmental Authority shall become, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, the property of Parent free and clear of any claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.

(f) Any portion of the Merger Consideration made available to the Exchange Agent pursuant to Section 2.04 in respect of any Appraisal Shares shall be returned to Parent, upon demand; provided, however, that Parent shall promptly deposit with the Exchange Agent any funds, assets or securities (including Parent Stock) necessary to provide for payment of the Merger Consideration (including cash in lieu of any fractional shares of Parent Stock to be paid pursuant to Section 2.09 and dividends or other distributions with respect to shares of Parent Stock to be paid pursuant to Section 2.03(h) ) with respect to any Appraisal Shares that lose their status as such.

(g) The shares of Parent Stock constituting the Stock Consideration shall be issued in uncertificated book-entry form, unless a physical certificate is otherwise required under Applicable Law or requested by a holder of shares of Company Stock.

(h) No dividends or other distributions with respect to Parent Stock with a record date on or after the Effective Time shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered share of Company Stock with respect to shares of Parent Stock that such holder would be entitled to receive upon surrender of such share of Company Stock until such holder shall surrender such share of Company Stock in accordance with this Article 2. After the surrender of any such share of Company Stock in accordance with this Article 2, such holder thereof that is entitled to receive shares of Parent Stock pursuant to this Article 2 shall then be entitled to receive, and Parent shall then cause to be paid to such Person, any such dividends or other distributions, without interest thereon, with a record date on or after the Effective Time and which theretofore had become

payable (whether or not prior to such surrender) with respect to whole shares of Parent Stock issuable to such holder in respect of such shares of Parent Stock.

Section 2.04. Appraisal Shares. Notwithstanding Section 2.02, shares of Company Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than shares of Company Stock canceled in accordance with Section 2.02(b)) and held by a holder who has not voted in favor of adoption of this Agreement or consented thereto in writing and who has properly exercised appraisal rights in respect of such shares in accordance with the DGCL (such shares being referred to collectively as the "Appraisal Shares" until such time as such holder fails to perfect, withdraws or otherwise loses such holder's appraisal rights under the DGCL with respect to such shares) shall not be converted into a right to receive the Merger Consideration but instead the holders thereof shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto other than the right to payment of the appraised value of such shares in accordance with the DGCL; provided that if, after the Effective Time, such holder fails to perfect, withdraws or otherwise loses such holder's right to appraisal pursuant to the DGCL, such shares of Company Stock shall be deemed to have been converted as of the Effective Time into the right to receive the Merger Consideration in accordance with Section 2.02(a), without interest thereon, upon surrender of such Certificate formerly representing such share or transfer of such Uncertificated Share, as the case may be. The Company shall provide Parent prompt notice of any demands received by the Company for appraisal of shares of Company Stock, any withdrawal of any such demand and any other demand, notice or instrument delivered to the Company prior to the Effective Time pursuant to the DGCL that relates to such demand, and Parent shall have the opportunity and right to participate in all substantive discussions with Third Parties, negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demands. Except with the prior written consent of Parent, the Company shall not voluntarily make any payment with respect to, or voluntarily offer to settle or settle, any such demands prior to the Effective Time.

Section 2.05. Company Equity Awards.

(a) At the Effective Time, each option to purchase shares of Company Stock granted under any Company Stock Plan (a "Company Stock Option") that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and that has an exercise price per share of Company Stock underlying such Company Stock Option (the "Option Exercise Price") that is less than the Merger Consideration Value (each such Company Stock Option, an "In-the-Money Company Stock Option"), whether or not exercisable or vested, shall be canceled without any action on the part of any holder thereof in consideration for the right to receive the Merger Consideration (including cash in lieu of any fractional shares of Parent Stock to be paid pursuant to Section 2.09 and dividends or other distributions with respect to shares of Parent Stock to be paid pursuant to Section 2.03(h)) in respect of each Net Option Share subject to such In-the-Money Company Stock Option (the "In-the-Money Company Option Merger Consideration"). Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to pay the In-the-Money Company Option Merger Consideration to the holder of the applicable In-the-Money Company Stock Option at or reasonably promptly after the Effective Time (but in no event later than three Business Days after the Effective Time). At the Effective Time, each Company Stock Option that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time that is not an In-the-Money Company Stock Option, whether or not exercisable or vested, shall be cancelled without payment of any consideration therefor. As used herein, "Merger Consideration Value" means the sum of (x) the Cash Consideration, and (y) the product obtained by multiplying the Stock Consideration by the Parent Stock Price.

(b) At the Effective Time, each share of Company Stock granted subject to vesting or other lapse restrictions under any Company Stock Plan (each, a "Company Restricted Share") that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall vest in full and become free of such restrictions and shall be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration (including cash in lieu of any fractional shares of Parent Stock to be paid pursuant to Section 2.09 and dividends or other distributions with respect to shares of Parent Stock to be paid pursuant to Section 2.03(h)) in accordance with Section 2.02(a) and under the same terms and conditions as apply to the receipt of the Merger Consideration by holders of Company Stock generally.

(c) At the Effective Time, each award of restricted stock units with respect to shares of Company Stock granted under any Company Stock Plan which vest solely based on the satisfaction of time-based criteria (each, a "Company RSU") that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether vested or unvested, shall be canceled without any action on the part of any holder thereof in consideration for the right to receive the Merger Consideration (including cash in lieu of any fractional shares of Parent Stock to be paid pursuant to Section 2.09 and dividends or other distributions with respect to shares of Parent Stock to be paid pursuant to Section 2.03(h)) in respect of each share of Company Stock subject to such Company RSU immediately prior to the Effective Time (the "Company RSU Merger Consideration"). Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to pay the Company RSU Merger Consideration to the holder of the applicable Company RSU at or reasonably promptly after the Effective Time (but in no event later than three Business Days after the Effective Time). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, any payment in respect of any Company RSU which immediately prior to such cancellation was treated as "deferred compensation" subject to Section 409A of the Code shall be made on the earliest possible date that such payment would not trigger a tax or penalty under Section 409A of the Code.

(d) At the Effective Time, each award of restricted stock units with respect to shares of Company Stock granted under a Company Stock Plan which vest in whole or in part based on the satisfaction of performance-based criteria (each, a "Company PSU") that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether vested or unvested, shall be canceled without any action on the part of any holder thereof in consideration for the right to receive the Merger Consideration (including cash in lieu of any fractional shares of Parent Stock to be paid pursuant to Section 2.09 and dividends or other distributions with respect to shares of Parent Stock to be paid pursuant to Section 2.03(h)) in respect of each share of Company Stock subject to such Company PSU immediately prior to the Effective Time (the "Company PSU Merger Consideration"); provided, in the case of a Company PSU subject to unsatisfied performance conditions for a performance period that includes the date on which the Effective Time occurs, for purposes of calculating the payments provided for by this Section 2.05(d), the number of shares of Company Stock subject to such Company PSU shall be determined as though such performance conditions were satisfied at the applicable target level of performance. Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to pay the Company PSU Merger Consideration to the holder of the applicable Company PSU at or reasonably promptly after the Effective Time (but in no event later than three Business Days after the Effective Time). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, any payment in respect of any Company PSU which immediately prior to such cancellation was treated as "deferred compensation" subject to Section 409A of the Code shall be made on the earliest possible date that such payment would not trigger a tax or penalty under Section 409A of the Code.

(e) At the Effective Time, each award of stock appreciation rights granted under a Company Stock Plan (each, a "Company SAR") that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and has a per share strike price that is less than the Merger Consideration Value (each such Company SAR, an "In-the-Money Company SAR") whether vested or unvested, shall be canceled and converted into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to (A) the excess of the Merger Consideration Value over the per share strike price of such In-the-Money Company SAR as of immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by (B) the number of shares of Company Stock subject to such Company SAR as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (such amount, the "In-the-Money Company SAR Merger Consideration"). Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to pay the In-the-Money Company SAR Merger Consideration to the holder of the applicable In-the-Money Company SAR at or reasonably promptly after the Effective Time (but in no event later than three Business Days after the Effective Time). At the Effective Time, each Company SAR that is outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time and is not an In-the-Money

Company SAR, whether or not exercisable or vested, shall be cancelled without payment of any consideration therefor. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, any payment in respect of any Company SAR which immediately prior to such cancellation was treated as "deferred compensation" subject to Section 409A of the Code shall be made on the earliest possible date that such payment would not trigger a tax or penalty under Section 409A of the Code.

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Section 2.05(a) through Section 2.05(e) hereof shall not apply to any Company Equity Award granted pursuant to Section 6.01(k) after the date hereof, and each such Company Equity Award shall instead be treated in accordance with Section 6.01(k) of the Company Disclosure Letter.

(g) Prior to the Effective Time, the Board of Directors of the Company (or, if appropriate, any committee thereof administering any Company Stock Plan) shall adopt such resolutions or take action by written consent in lieu of a meeting, providing for the transactions contemplated by this Section 2.05 and Section 6.01(k) of the Company Disclosure Letter. The Company shall provide that, following the Effective Time, no holder of any Company Stock Option, Company Restricted Share, Company RSU, Company PSU or Company SAR (other than any Company Equity Award described in Section 2.05(f)) shall have the right to acquire any equity interest in the Company or the Surviving Corporation in respect thereof (other than, in the case of Company Stock Options, Company Restricted Shares, Company RSUs and Company PSUs, the right to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to, and subject to the conditions of, this Agreement).

Section 2.06. Withholding Rights. Each of the Exchange Agent, Merger Subsidiary, the Surviving Corporation and Parent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable to any Person pursuant to this Article 2 such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under any provision of federal, state, local or foreign Tax law; provided, that withholding with respect to any Company Stock Option, Company Restricted Share, Company RSU or Company PSU shall be taken first from the Cash Consideration portion of the Merger Consideration payable in respect of such Company Stock Option, Company Restricted Share, Company RSU or Company PSU, as applicable, and then, to the extent necessary, the portion of the Merger Consideration payable in respect of such Company Stock Option, Company Restricted Share, Company RSU or Company PSU, as applicable, in the form of Stock Consideration. If the Exchange Agent, Merger Subsidiary, the Company, the Surviving Corporation or Parent, as the case may be, withholds any such amounts and properly pays such amounts over to the appropriate Taxing Authority, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such withholding was made.

Section 2.07. Lost Certificates. If any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by Parent, the Exchange Agent or the Surviving Corporation, the posting by such Person of a bond, in such reasonable amount as Parent may direct, as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, the Exchange Agent will issue, in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate, the Merger Consideration to be paid in respect of the shares of Company Stock represented by such Certificate, as contemplated by this Article 2.

Section 2.08. Adjustments. If, during the period between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time, any change in the number or type of outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company or Parent Stock shall occur by reason of any reclassification, recapitalization, stock split (including reverse split) or combination, exchange or readjustment of shares or any stock dividend thereon with a record date during such period, the Merger Consideration and any other amounts payable pursuant to this Agreement, and similarly dependent items as the case may be, shall be appropriately adjusted to provide the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to

such event. Nothing in this Section 2.08 shall be construed to permit any party to take any action that is otherwise prohibited or restricted by any other provision of this Agreement.

Section 2.09. No Fractional Shares. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, neither certificates nor scrip for a fractional share of Parent Stock shall be issued in the Merger, including pursuant to Section 2.05(b). Each holder of shares of Company Stock or Company Equity Awards who otherwise would have been entitled to a fraction of a share of Parent Stock (after taking into account all shares of Company Stock or Company Equity Awards owned by such holder at the Effective Time to be converted into Parent Stock pursuant to this Article 2, aggregated together and all calculations rounded to three (3) decimal places) shall be entitled to receive, from the Exchange Agent in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.09 or otherwise in case of Company Equity Awards, in lieu of such fractional share, an amount of cash (rounded down to the nearest whole cent), without interest, equal to the product of: (i) the amount of the fractional share interest in a share of Parent Stock to which such holder would, but for this Section 2.09, be entitled under this Agreement, multiplied by (ii) the Parent Stock Price. The parties acknowledge that payment of cash in lieu of issuing certificates or scrip for a fractional share was not separately bargained-for consideration but merely represents a mechanical rounding off for purposes of avoiding the expense and inconvenience to Parent that otherwise would be caused by the issuance of a fractional share. No such holder of a fractional share interest shall be entitled to dividends, voting rights or any other rights in respect of any fractional share.

Representations and Warranties of the Company

Except (i) as disclosed in the Company SEC Documents filed with the SEC by the Company on or after January 1, 2018, and at least one (1) Business Day prior to the date of this Agreement (but in each case excluding disclosure contained under the heading "Risk Factors" or in any "forward-looking statements" legend or any similar disclosure to the extent that such statements are predictive, precautionary or forward-looking statements but, for purpose of clarification, including and giving effect to any factual or historical statements included in any such statements) and to the extent publicly available on the SEC's Electronic Data Gathering Analysis and Retrieval System ("EDGAR") or (ii) as disclosed in the particular section or subsection of the Company Disclosure Letter expressly referenced therein (it being understood and agreed that, other than with respect to Section 4.01, Section 4.02 and

Section 4.05, any information set forth in one section or subsection of the Company Disclosure Letter also shall be deemed to apply to each other section and subsection of this Agreement to which its applicability is reasonably apparent from the text of the disclosure), the Company hereby represents and warrants to Parent and Merger Subsidiary that:

The Company is duly qualified or licensed to do business as a foreign corporation and (where applicable and recognized) is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the character or location of the property owned, leased or operated by it or the nature of the business conducted by it makes such qualification or licensing necessary, except for those jurisdictions where failure to be so qualified or licensed has not had, and would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect on the Company.

(b) Complete and correct copies of the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Company, each as amended to the date of this Agreement, have been made available to Parent and are in full force and effect, and the Company is not in violation of any of the provisions thereof.

Assuming the representations and warranties in Section 5.17(b) are complete and correct, the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Company Stock to adopt this Agreement and approve the Merger is the only vote of the holders of securities of the Company necessary in connection with the consummation of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the "Company Stockholder Approval"). This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Company and, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by Parent and Merger Subsidiary, this Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding agreement of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms (subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and other laws affecting creditors' rights generally and general principles of equity).

(b) At a meeting duly called and held, the Company's Board of Directors has, by resolutions unanimously adopted by the Company's Board of Directors, (i) determined that this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby are fair to and in the best interests of the Company and the Company's stockholders, (ii) approved and declared advisable this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (including the Merger) and (iii) directed that the adoption of this Agreement be submitted to a vote at the Company Stockholder Meeting and (iv) resolved to recommend adoption of this Agreement and approval of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement by its stockholders (such recommendation in the preceding clause (iv), the "Company Board Recommendation"). As of the date of this Agreement, none of the aforesaid actions by the Company's Board of Directors has been amended, rescinded or modified.

Section 4.03. Governmental Authorization.

Section 4.04. Non-contravention. Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Company nor the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated hereby, nor compliance by the Company with any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement, will (a) contravene, conflict with, or result in any violation or breach of any provision of the certificate of incorporation or bylaws of the Company or the certificate of incorporation or bylaws (or equivalent organizational documents) of any Subsidiary of the Company (each as amended), (b) assuming that the Consents, registrations, declarations, filings and notices referred to in Section 4.03 have been obtained or made and assuming the representations and warranties in Section 5.17(b) are complete and correct, contravene, conflict with or result in a violation or breach of any provision of any Applicable Law or (c) require any consent or other action by any Person under, violate, conflict with or result in any breach of any provision of, or loss of any benefit, or constitute a default, or an event that, with or without notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute a default, under, or cause or give rise to any right of termination, cancellation, acceleration or other change of any right or obligation or the loss of any Material Contract (or any Contract if entered into after the date hereof would have been a Company Material Contract if entered into on or prior to the date hereof) to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or which binds or affects their respective properties or assets, or result in the creation of a Lien, other than any Permitted Lien, upon any of the property or assets of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, with only such exceptions, in the case of each of clauses (b) and (c), as would not reasonably be expected to, individually or in the aggregate, (A) be material to the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, and (B) prevent the ability of the Company to perform its obligations under this Agreement or to consummate the Merger.

Section 4.05. Capitalization.

(a) The authorized capital stock of the Company consists of 500,000,000 shares of Company Stock and 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.01 par value per share, of the Company ("Company Preferred Stock"). There are no other classes of capital stock of the Company and no bonds, debentures, notes or other indebtedness or securities of the Company having the right to vote or, other than Company Equity Awards, convertible into or exercisable for securities having the right to vote, on any matters on which holders of capital stock of the Company may vote, authorized, issued or outstanding. All of the issued and outstanding shares of Company Stock have been, and all shares that may be issued pursuant to any Company Equity Awards, the Company Stock Plans, or other Company Employee Plan will be, when issued in accordance with the respective terms thereof, duly authorized and validly issued and are, or will be when issued, fully paid, nonassessable and free of preemptive rights. As of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on July 8, 2019 (the "Reference Time"), there were (i) 70,521,224 shares of Company Stock issued and outstanding (which number includes all 379,550 outstanding Company Restricted Shares) and

542,874 shares of Company Stock held by the Company as treasury stock, (ii) an aggregate of 3,447,760 shares of Company Stock subject to outstanding Company Stock Options, (iii) an aggregate of 1,067,643 shares of Company Stock subject to outstanding Company RSUs, (iv) an aggregate of 508,951 shares of Company Stock subject to outstanding Company PSUs (assuming target level of performance), (v) an aggregate of 227,310 Company SARs outstanding, (vi) no shares of Company Preferred Stock outstanding and (vii) 4,115,242 shares of Company Stock reserved for future issuance under Company Stock Plans.

(b) The Company has made available to Parent or its counsel accurate and complete copies of the Company Stock Plans and the forms of stock option, restricted stock, restricted stock unit and performance stock unit agreements evidencing the Company Equity Awards and, other than differences with respect to the number of shares of Company Stock covered thereby, the grant date, the exercise price, regular vesting schedule and expiration date applicable thereto, no such stock option, restricted stock or restricted stock unit agreement contains material terms that are not consistent with, or in addition to, such forms. Section 4.05(b) of the Company Disclosure Letter sets forth, as of the close of business on the Reference Time, each outstanding Company Equity Award and to the extent applicable, (i) the name of the holder thereof, (ii) the number of shares of Company Stock issuable thereunder (including the target and maximum number of shares of Company Stock subject to any Company Equity Awards which vest in whole or in part based on the satisfaction of performance-based criteria), (iii) the exercise price or base price, (iv) the amount vested and outstanding and the amount unvested and outstanding, and (v) whether or not it is subject to performance-based vesting. Each grant of a Company Stock Option was duly authorized no later than the date on which the grant of such Company Stock Option was by its terms to be effective (the "Company Stock Option Grant Date") by all necessary corporate action, including, as applicable, approval by the Company's Board of Directors (or a duly constituted and authorized committee thereof or other authorized designee) and any required stockholder approval by the necessary number of votes or written consents. The Company does not have any liability in respect of any Company Stock Option that was granted with a per share exercise price that was less than the fair market value of a share of Company Stock on the applicable Company Stock Option Grant Date. Each Company Stock Option was issued with an exercise price that was at least equal to the fair market value of a share of Company Stock, as determined in accordance with Section 409A of the Code, on the applicable Company Stock Option Grant Date. Each grant of Company Equity Awards was made in accordance with the terms of the applicable Company Stock Plan under which it was granted, the 1934 Act and all other Applicable Laws, including the rules and regulations of the NYSE. All of the outstanding Company Stock has been sold pursuant to an effective registration statement filed under the federal securities laws or an appropriate exemption therefrom.

(c) All of the issued and outstanding capital stock of or other voting securities of, or company, partnership, corporate or similar (as applicable) ownership, voting or similar interests in, each Subsidiary of the Company, is owned, beneficially and of record, by the Company, directly or indirectly, free and clear of any Lien (other than Permitted Liens) and free of any transfer restriction (other than transfer restrictions of general applicability as may be provided under the 1933 Act or other applicable securities laws), including any restriction on the right to vote, sell or otherwise dispose of such capital stock or other voting securities or ownership interests, and all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of or other voting securities of, or company, partnership, corporate or similar (as applicable) ownership, voting or similar interests in each of the

Section 4.08. Financial Statements. All of the audited consolidated financial statements and unaudited consolidated quarterly financial statements (in each case, including the related notes) of the Company included or incorporated by reference in the Company SEC Documents (i) have been prepared in conformity with GAAP applied on a consistent basis for the periods then ended (except as may be indicated in the notes thereto) and (ii) fairly present in all material respects the consolidated financial position of the Company and its consolidated Subsidiaries as of the dates thereof and their consolidated stockholders' equity and results of operations and cash flows for the periods then ended (except, in the case of any unaudited quarterly financial statements with respect to clause (i) or (ii), as permitted by Form 10-Q of the SEC or other rules and regulations of the SEC and subject to normal year-end audit adjustments) and (iii) comply in all material respects with the applicable accounting requirements and with the published rules and regulations of the SEC with respect thereto.

Recommendation Change"); provided, that, for the avoidance of doubt, (a) any determination by the Board of Directors of the Company to the extent expressly permitted by Section 6.03(b), Section 6.03(c) or Section 6.03(d) shall not be, and shall not be deemed to be, in and of itself, a breach or violation of this Section 6.03(a) and (b) none of (1) the determination by the Board of Directors, to the extent expressly permitted by Section 6.03(f), that a Company Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal or (2) the delivery by the Company of the notice required by Section 6.03(c), Section 6.03(e) or Section 6.03(f) shall constitute, or shall be deemed to constitute, in and of itself, an Adverse Recommendation Change; and

(iii) the Company shall (and shall cause its Subsidiaries and use reasonable best efforts to cause the Company Representatives to) (A) immediately cease and cause to be terminated all existing discussions, negotiations and communications with any Third Party (and its Representatives) with respect to any Company Acquisition Proposal existing on the date of this Agreement, (B) within forty-eight (48) hours after the date of this Agreement, terminate access of any Third Party (and its Representatives) to any data room (virtual or actual) containing any information of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; and (C) within forty-eight (48) hours after the date of this Agreement, demand the return or destruction of all confidential or non-public information and materials that have been provided to any Third Party (and its Representatives) relating to a possible Company Acquisition Proposal.

(b) Notwithstanding Section 6.03(a), at any time prior to obtaining the Company Stockholder Approval, if the Company or any of the Company Representatives receives after the date of this Agreement a bona fide written Company Acquisition Proposal from any Third Party that did not result from a violation in any material respect of this Section 6.03 (i) then the Company and its outside financial advisor may contact the Third Party making such Company Acquisition Proposal to clarify the terms and conditions thereof solely so that the Company's Board of Directors may inform itself about such Company Acquisition Proposal or (ii) that the Board of Directors of the Company determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside financial advisor and outside legal counsel, constitutes or could reasonably be expected to lead to a Superior Proposal, then the Company, directly or indirectly through the Company Representatives, may (A) engage in negotiations or discussions with such Third Party and its Representatives concerning such Company Acquisition Proposal and (B) furnish to such Third Party or its Representatives non-public information relating to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries pursuant to an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement; provided, that, prior to or substantially concurrently with the time any such information is made available to such Third Party, the Company shall make available to Parent any non-public information relating to the Company or its Subsidiaries that is made available to such Third Party and that was not previously made available to Parent. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 6.03(a), prior to obtaining the Company Stockholder Approval, the Board of Directors of the Company may waive any standstill provisions in any agreement with any Third Party in order to permit such Third Party to make a Company Acquisition Proposal if the Board of Directors of the Company determines in good faith, after consultation with the Company's outside legal counsel, that the failure to grant such waiver would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under Applicable Law.

(c) Other than in connection with a Superior Proposal (which shall be the subject of Section 6.03(f) and shall not be the subject of this Section 6.03(c)), at any time prior to obtaining the Company Stockholder Approval, in response to any material effect, fact, event, change, development, circumstance, occurrence, condition or set of circumstances, in each case that was not known to or reasonably foreseeable by the Board of Directors of the Company on the date of this Agreement (or, if known or reasonably foreseeable, the material consequences of which were not known or reasonably foreseeable to the Board of Directors of the Company as of the date of this Agreement) (an "Intervening Event"; provided, however, that in no event shall any inquiry, offer

or proposal that constitutes or could reasonably be expected to result in or constitute a Company Acquisition Proposal constitute an Intervening Event), if the Board of Directors of the Company determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that the failure to take such action would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under Applicable Law, the Board of Directors of the Company may make an Adverse Recommendation Change (as used in this Section 6.03(c), solely with respect to subclause (A) of the definition of Adverse Recommendation Change); provided, that, the Board of Directors of the Company shall not make any such Adverse Recommendation Change pursuant to this Section 6.03(c) unless the Company has (i) provided to Parent at least five (5) days' prior written notice that it intends to make an Adverse Recommendation Change pursuant to this Section 6.03(c) and specifying in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances underlying the Intervening Event and providing the basis of the decision by the Board of Directors of the Company to make such an Adverse Recommendation Change and (ii) during such five (5) day period pursuant to clause (i) of this Section 6.03(c), engaged in good faith discussions and negotiations with Parent and its Representatives, and made the Company Representatives available to discuss and negotiate in good faith (in each case to the extent Parent desires to discuss and negotiate from time to time) regarding proposed modifications to the terms and conditions of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby so that the failure to make such an Adverse Recommendation Change would no longer reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with the fiduciary duties under Applicable Law of the Company's Board of Directors, the Board of Directors of the Company shall have determined in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, and after considering the terms of any proposed amendment or modification to this Agreement, that the failure to make an Adverse Recommendation Change would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under Applicable Law. The Company shall notify Parent in writing promptly after any Adverse Recommendation Change.

(d) In addition, nothing contained in Section 6.03(a) or elsewhere in this Agreement shall prevent the Board of Directors of the Company from (i) complying with Rule 14e-2(a) or Rule 14d-9 promulgated under the 1934 Act with regard to a Company Acquisition Proposal, (ii) making any "stop-look-and-listen" communication to stockholders of the Company or (iii) making any disclosure to the stockholders of the Company if the Board of Directors of the Company determines in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel, that the failure to make such disclosure would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under Applicable Law; provided, that, in each case, (A) in no event shall this Section 6.03(d) affect the obligations specified in Section 6.03(c) or Section 6.03(f) (or to the consequences thereof in accordance with this Agreement) or the definition of Adverse Recommendation Change (or to the consequences thereof in accordance with this Agreement) and (B) any such disclosure (other than an issuance by the Company of a "stop-look-and-listen" communication as referred to in clause (ii)) that addresses or relates to the approval, recommendation or declaration of the advisability by the Board of Directors of the Company with respect to this Agreement or a Company Acquisition Proposal shall be deemed to be an Adverse Recommendation Change unless the Board of Directors of the Company in connection with such communication publicly reaffirms the Company Board Recommendation.

(e) The Company shall (i) notify Parent promptly (but in no event later than twenty-four (24) hours) (A) after receipt by the Company or any Company Representative of any Company Acquisition Proposal, which notice shall identify the Third Party(ies) making any such Company Acquisition Proposal and shall include complete, unredacted copies of all written proposals, written indications of interest or draft agreements relating to, or other written materials that describe any of the terms and conditions of, such Company Acquisition Proposal and (B) of any inquiries, proposals or offers received by, any requests for non-public information from, or any discussions or negotiations initiated or continued (or sought to be initiated or continued) with, the Company or

any Company Representatives concerning a Company Acquisition Proposal, which notice shall identify the Third Party(ies) and recite the terms (including any amendments thereto) of any such inquiry, offer, proposal or request and, in the case of written materials that describe any of the terms and conditions of such inquiry, offer, proposal or request, provide copies of such materials and (ii) keep Parent reasonably informed reasonably promptly (but in no event later than twenty-four (24) hours of any development) of the status and any material details (including material amendments and proposed material amendments) of any such Company Acquisition Proposal (or other inquiry, offer or proposal or request) and other developments, discussions or negotiations regarding any Company Acquisition Proposal, providing to Parent copies of any additional or revised written proposals, written indications of interest or agreements (including all drafts and final versions (and any comments thereon) and including all schedules and exhibits thereto) relating to such Company Acquisition Proposal or other inquiry, offer, proposal or request. The Company agrees that it and its Subsidiaries will not enter into any agreement after the date hereof with any Person that prohibits the Company from providing any information to Parent in accordance with this Section 6.03.

(f) Prior to obtaining the Company Stockholder Approval, the Board of Directors of the Company may make an Adverse Recommendation Change or terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.01(d)(i) in response to a bona fide written Company Acquisition Proposal from any Third Party (received after the date of this Agreement that did not result from a violation in any material respect of this Section 6.03), only if (i) the Board of Directors of the Company has determined in good faith, after consultation with its outside financial advisor and outside legal counsel, that (A) such Company Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal and (B) the failure to take such action (with the term "such action" being the making of an Adverse Recommendation Change or terminating this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.01(d)(i)) would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under Applicable Law, (ii) the Company promptly notifies Parent in writing (at least five (5) days before taking such action) of the determination of the Board of Directors of the Company that such Company Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal and of its intention to take such action, attaching the proposed definitive agreement and other documentation under which such Superior Proposal is proposed to be consummated and the identity of the Third Party(ies) making such Superior Proposal, (iii) for such period of five (5) days following the notice delivered pursuant to clause (ii) of this Section 6.03(f), the Company shall have discussed and negotiated in good faith and made the Company's Representatives available to discuss and negotiate in good faith (in each case to the extent Parent desires to discuss and negotiate from time to time) with Parent and its Representatives any modifications to the terms and conditions of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement irrevocably proposed in writing by Parent so that such Company Acquisition Proposal would no longer constitute a Superior Proposal and that the failure to take such action would no longer reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with the Company's Board of Director's fiduciary duties under Applicable Law (it being understood and agreed that any amendment to the financial terms or other material term or condition of any Superior Proposal shall require a new notice and a new period that shall expire on the later to occur of (I) three (3) days following delivery of such new notice from the Company to Parent and (II) the expiration of the original five (5) day period described above), and (iv) no earlier than the end of such period, the Company's Board of Directors shall have determined in good faith, after consultation with its outside financial advisor and outside legal counsel, and after considering the terms of any proposed amendment or modification to this Agreement, that (x) the Company Acquisition Proposal that is the subject of this Section 6.03(f) still constitutes a Superior Proposal and (y) the failure to take such action would still reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under Applicable Law.

(g) Without limiting the foregoing, any violation of the restrictions set forth in this Section 6.03 by any of the Company's or its Subsidiary's Representatives acting directly or indirectly on behalf of the Company or its Subsidiary shall be deemed to be a breach of this Agreement by the Company.

(h) Certain Definitions. As used in this Agreement:

(i) "Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement" means a confidentiality agreement that contains provisions that are no less favorable in the aggregate to the Company than those contained in the Confidentiality Agreement; provided that such confidentiality agreement may contain a less restrictive or no standstill restriction, in which case the Company shall promptly (and in any case within twenty-four (24) hours) provide Parent notice thereof and a copy of such provisions, and upon such notice, the Confidentiality Agreement shall be deemed to be automatically (and permanently) amended hereby and without further action of the parties to, as applicable, delete the standstill provisions therein or conform the standstill provisions thereof with such more favorable provisions, as applicable.

(ii) "Superior Proposal" means a bona fide, written Company Acquisition Proposal (provided that for purposes of this definition, references to "15%" in the definition of Company Acquisition Proposal shall be deemed to be references to "50%") that did not result from a breach of this Section 6.03 that the Board of Directors of the Company determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside financial advisor and outside legal counsel, and taking into account all relevant terms and conditions of such Company Acquisition Proposal (including all legal, financial, regulatory and other aspects or conditions and the ability of the Person making such proposal to consummate the transactions contemplated by such Company Acquisition Proposal), (i) would reasonably be expected to be capable of being consummated if accepted and (ii) is more favorable to the Company's stockholders from a financial point of view than the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement (taking into account any proposal by Parent to amend or modify the terms of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby pursuant to Section 6.03(f)).

Section 6.04. Access to Information. From the date hereof until the earlier of the termination of this Agreement or the Effective Time, the Company shall during normal business hours and upon reasonable prior notice, (a) give to Parent, its counsel, financial advisors, auditors and other Representatives reasonable access to the personnel, advisors, agents, offices, properties, Contracts and books and records of the Company and its Subsidiaries and (b) cause its Subsidiaries, and instruct its employees, counsel, financial advisors, auditors and other Representatives, to reasonably cooperate with Parent in such access and to furnish reasonably promptly all other information, and provide copies thereof, concerning the personnel, properties and business of the Company and its Subsidiaries as Parent or Merger Subsidiary may reasonably request; provided, however, that (i) this Section 6.04 shall not require the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to permit access to (A) any information that is subject to attorney-client privilege or similar privilege or the work product doctrine or (B) any information that in the reasonable opinion of the Company would violate any Applicable Law (provided, however, that, in the case of subclause (A) and this subclause (B), the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to communicate the applicable information to Parent in a way that would not violate the Applicable Law or waive such privilege or work-product doctrine), (C) such documents or information that are reasonably pertinent to any litigation, suit, action or proceeding between the Company and its Affiliates, on the one hand, and Parent and its Affiliates, on the other hand, (D) any information related to the negotiation and execution of this Agreement or to transactions potentially competing with or alternative to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or proposals from other third parties relating to any competing or alternative transactions (including Company Acquisition Proposals) and the actions of the Company's Board of Directors (or any committee thereof) with respect to any of the foregoing, whether prior to or after execution of this Agreement or (E) any

information related to an Adverse Recommendation Change or the actions of the Company's Board of Directors (or any committee thereof) with respect thereto, (ii) any such access shall be provided under supervision of appropriate personnel of the Company and in such a manner as not to unreasonably interfere with the normal business or operations of the Company or its Subsidiaries and (iii) any access to the properties of the Company and its Subsidiaries will be subject to the Company's reasonable security measures and policies and will not include the right to sample soil, sediment, groundwater, surface water, air or building materials or conduct any other environmental sampling.

not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified in any manner that would adversely affect any right thereunder of any such Indemnified Person with respect to acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Effective Time.

(b) For six (6) years after the Effective Time, Parent and the Surviving Corporation (jointly and severally) shall indemnify and hold harmless all Indemnified Persons with respect to acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Effective Time to the fullest extent that the Company or the applicable Company Subsidiary would be permitted to do so by Delaware law or, if any such Company Subsidiary is not organized in Delaware, the Applicable Law of organization of such Company Subsidiary, in the event of any threatened or actual claim, suit, action, proceeding or investigation (a "Claim"), whether civil, criminal or administrative, based in whole or in part on, or arising in whole or in part out of, or pertaining to (i) with respect to the present and former directors and officers of the Company that are Indemnified Persons, (A) the fact that the Indemnified Person is or was a director (including in a capacity as a member of any board committee), officer, employee or agent of the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective predecessors or (B) this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby, and (ii) with respect to the Indemnified Persons set forth on Section 7.04(a) of the Company Disclosure Letter, the fact that such Indemnified Person is or was a director of any Company Subsidiary and his or her respective actions or omissions in his or her capacity as a director of one or more Subsidiaries of the Company, in each case whether asserted or arising before, on or after the Effective Time, against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs, expenses (including reasonable attorney's fees and expenses in advance of the final disposition of any claim, suit, proceeding or investigation to each Indemnified Person (to the extent required or, in the case of advancement, permitted by Delaware law, upon delivery to the Parent of an unsecured, interest-free undertaking by or on behalf of such Indemnified Person to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that such Indemnified Person is not entitled to be indemnified)) and all judgments, fines and, subject to the remainder of this Section 7.04(b), amounts paid in settlement of or in connection with any such threatened or actual Claim. Neither Parent nor the Surviving Corporation shall settle, compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any threatened or actual Claim for which indemnification could be sought by an Indemnified Person hereunder, unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Person from all liability arising out of such Claim or such Indemnified Person otherwise consents (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) in writing to such settlement, compromise or consent. Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall cooperate with an Indemnified Person in the defense of any matter for which such Indemnified Person is indemnified hereunder; provided, however, that the Parent or its applicable Subsidiary may, at its option and expense, assume and control the defense of any Claim with one counsel for all similarly situated Indemnified Persons subject to such Claim, if such counsel reasonably acceptable to a majority of the Indemnified Persons who may be entitled to indemnification for such Claim; provided that, if such Claim commenced after the date hereof and prior to the Effective Time and relates to this Agreement, the Merger or the fiduciary duties of the Board of Directors of the Company, then at the election of a majority of such Indemnified Persons, such counsel shall be the counsel of record prior to the Effective Time for such Claim; provided further that any Indemnified Person may fully participate at its own expense in the defense of such Claim through separate counsel of its own choosing; and provided further that if, in the reasonable opinion of counsel of any Indemnified Person, there is a conflict of interest between such Indemnified Person and Parent or its applicable Subsidiary, or because of Parent or its applicable Subsidiary's failure to defend for a period of sixty (60) days any such Claim, any such Indemnified Person shall have the right to select separate counsel of its own choosing to participate in the defense of such Claim on its behalf, and the reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) of defending such Claim shall be indemnified by Parent and the Surviving Company to the extent otherwise indemnifiable

hereunder. If the Parent or its applicable Subsidiary so assumes the defense of any Claim for such Indemnified Persons pursuant to the foregoing sentence, none of the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries will be liable to such Indemnified Persons for any defense costs or expenses (including attorneys' fees and expenses) subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Persons in the defense of such Claim (but excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any other losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs or other expenses therefrom, including from the disposition of any such Claim, that are subject to indemnification pursuant to this Section 7.04). Neither an Indemnified Person nor the Parent, the Surviving Corporation of any of its Subsidiaries shall settle, compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any threatened or actual Claim for which indemnification could be sought without the prior written consent of Parent, in the case of the Indemnified Persons, or the Indemnified Persons, in the case of Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries (in each case, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Such Indemnified Person shall cooperate with the Parent and its applicable Subsidiaries in the defense of any matter for which such Indemnified Person could seek indemnification hereunder.

(c) Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall, or if the Company is unable to, Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation as of the Effective Time to, use reasonable best efforts to obtain and fully pay the premium for the non-cancellable extension of the directors' and officers' liability coverage of the Company's existing directors' and officers' insurance policies and the Company's existing fiduciary liability insurance policies, in each case for a claims reporting or discovery period of at least six (6) years from and after the Effective Time with respect to any claim related to any period of time at or prior to the Effective Time (including claims with respect to the adoption of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby) with terms, conditions, retentions and limits of liability that are no less favorable than the coverage provided under the Company's existing policies; provided that the Company shall give Parent a reasonable opportunity to participate in the selection of such "tail" insurance policy and the Company shall give good faith consideration to any comments made by Parent with respect thereto; and provided that the premium payable for such "tail" insurance policy shall not exceed 300% of the premium amount per annum the Company paid in its last full fiscal year (such maximum amount, the "Maximum Tail Premium") and if the cost for such "tail" insurance policy exceeds the Maximum Tail Premium, then the Company shall obtain a policy with the greatest coverage available for a cost not exceeding the Maximum Tail Premium. 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 it and the Surviving Corporation. In addition, prior to the Effective Time, the Company will reasonably cooperate with Parent to assist in obtaining such additional "tail" insurance policies as Parent may reasonably request.

(d) If Parent or the Surviving Corporation (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 or conveys all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, proper provision shall be made so that the applicable successor, assign or transferee shall assume the obligations set forth in this Section 7.04 (including this Section 7.04(d)).

(e) The rights of each Indemnified Person under this Section 7.04 shall be in addition to any rights such Person may have under the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, under the DGCL or any other Applicable Law, under any agreement of any Indemnified Person with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or otherwise. These rights shall survive the consummation of the Merger in accordance with their terms. After the Effective Time, the covenants contained in this Section 7.04 are intended to benefit, and shall be enforceable by, each Indemnified Person. After the Effective Time, the obligations of Parent and the Surviving Corporation under this Section 7.04 shall not be terminated or modified in such a manner as to

adversely affect the rights of any Indemnified Person without the consent of such Indemnified Person.

(f) Parent shall pay all reasonable expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, that may be incurred by any Indemnified Person in enforcing the indemnity and other obligations provided in this Section 7.04 (including by advancing such expenses in advance of the final disposition of any claim seeking to enforce such obligations).

Section 7.05. Employee Matters.

(a) With respect to employees who are actively employed by the Company or its Subsidiaries as of immediately before the Effective Time ("Company Employees"), for a period of twelve months following the Closing (or, if earlier, until the termination of the applicable Company Employee's employment with Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries), Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, for so long as a Company Employee is employed or engaged by Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries, provide compensation and benefits to such Company Employee that are no less favorable in the aggregate to the Company Employee than the compensation (excluding any equity or equity-based compensation, retention, change of control, transaction or similar bonuses and nonqualified deferred compensation) and benefits (excluding any defined benefit pension plan or retiree medical benefits) provided to the Company Employee immediately prior to the Effective Time.

(b) Without limiting the generality of Section 7.05(a), from and after the Effective Time, Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, assume and honor during the twelve-month period following the Effective Time (or, if sooner, until all obligations thereunder have been satisfied) all of the Company's employment, severance, bonus, incentive compensation, commission, change in control, retention and termination plans and agreements, in each case, as in effect at the Effective Time, including with respect to any payments, benefits or rights arising as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (either alone or in combination with any other event) in accordance with their respective terms; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 7.05(b) shall (i) impair the enforceability of any Company severance agreements that may by their terms remain in effect beyond such twelve-month period or (ii) limit the ability of Parent or the Surviving Corporation to amend or terminate any Company Employee Plan or any other plan, agreement or arrangement with any Company Employee to the extent such amendment or termination is permitted by the terms of such Company Employee Plan or other plan, agreement or arrangement as in effect on the date hereof.

(c) With respect to any employee benefit plan maintained by Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries in which any Company Employee is eligible to participate following the Effective Time, Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, treat each Company Employee's service with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries prior to the Effective Time (as well as service with any predecessor employer of the Company or any such Subsidiary, to the extent service with the predecessor employer is recognized by the Company or such Subsidiary under the comparable Company Employee Plans) as service with Parent, the Surviving Corporation or its Subsidiaries, as applicable, for purposes of determining eligibility to participate, level of benefits and vesting, benefit accruals (but not for benefit accrual purposes under any defined benefit pension plan) and for purposes of determining future vacation and paid time-off accruals and severance amounts under any employee benefit plan; provided, however, that such service need not be recognized to the extent that such recognition would result in any duplication of benefits.

(d) Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries to, use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) waive any pre-existing condition limitations, exclusions, actively-at-work requirements and waiting periods under any health or welfare benefit plan maintained by Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of their Subsidiaries in which any

Company Employee (or the dependents of any eligible Company Employee) will be eligible to participate from and after the Effective Time to the same extent such limitation would have been waived or satisfied under any similar Company Employee Plan the Company Employee participated in immediately prior to coverage under the Parent health or welfare benefit plan and (ii) recognize the dollar amount of all payments incurred by each Company Employee (and his or her eligible dependents) prior to the Effective Time under any applicable Company Employee Plan during the calendar year in which the Effective Time occurs for purposes of satisfying such calendar year's deductible, co-payment limitations and out-of-pocket maximums under the relevant welfare benefit plans in which such Company Employee will be eligible to participate from and after the Effective Time to the same extent such payments were recognized under any similar Company Employee Plan that such Company Employee participated in immediately prior to the Effective Time.

(e) The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that all provisions contained in this Section 7.05 with respect to employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries are included for the sole benefit of the respective parties hereto and shall not create any right (i) in any other Person, including employees, former employees, any participant or any beneficiary thereof, in any Company Employee Plan or Parent Employee Plan, or (ii) to continued employment with the Company, Parent, the Surviving Corporation or their respective Subsidiaries or Affiliates. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 7.05 to the contrary, nothing in this Agreement, whether express or implied, shall be treated as an amendment or other modification of any Company Employee Plan, Parent Employee Plan or any other employee benefit plans of the Company, Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective Subsidiaries or Affiliates or shall prohibit Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective Subsidiaries or Affiliates from amending or terminating any employee benefit plan.

Section 7.06. Stock Exchange Listing. Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the shares of Parent Stock issuable in connection with the Merger to be authorized for listing on the NYSE, subject to official notice of issuance.

Section 7.07. Access to Information. From the date hereof until the earlier of the termination of this Agreement or the Effective Time, Parent shall during normal business hours and upon reasonable prior notice, (a) give to the Company, its counsel, financial advisors, auditors and other Representatives reasonable access to the personnel, advisors, agents, offices, properties, Contracts and books and records of Parent and its Subsidiaries and (b) cause its Subsidiaries, and instruct its employees, counsel, financial advisors, auditors and other Representatives, to reasonably cooperate with the Company in such access; provided, however, that (i) the foregoing shall not require Parent or any of its Subsidiaries to permit access to (A) any information that is subject to attorney-client privilege or similar privilege or the work product doctrine, (B) any information that in the reasonable opinion of Parent would violate any Applicable Law (provided, however, that, in the case of subclause (A) and this subclause (B), Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts to communicate the applicable information to the Company in a way that would not violate the Applicable Law or waive such privilege or work-product doctrine), (C) such documents or information that are reasonably pertinent to any litigation, suit, action or proceeding between Company and its Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Parent and its Affiliates, on the other hand, or (D) any information related to the negotiation and execution of this Agreement and the actions of Parent's Board of Directors (or any committee thereof) with respect to the foregoing, whether prior to or after execution of this Agreement, (ii) any such access shall be provided under supervision of appropriate personnel of Parent and in such a manner as not to unreasonably interfere with the normal business or operations of Parent or its Subsidiaries and (iii) any access to the properties of Parent and its Subsidiaries will be subject to Parent's reasonable security measures and policies and will not include the right to sample soil, sediment, groundwater, surface water, air or building materials or conduct any other environmental sampling.

Covenants of Parent, Merger Subsidiary and the Company

(b) In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, each of Parent and the Company shall (and Parent shall cause Merger Subsidiary to) (i) make an appropriate filing of a Notification and Report Form pursuant to the HSR Act as promptly as practicable (and in any event within ten (10) Business Days after the date hereof), (ii) make each other appropriate filing required pursuant to any Foreign Antitrust Law (collectively with the HSR Act, the "Antitrust Laws") as promptly as reasonably practicable (and in any event within twenty (20) Business Days), (iii) use reasonable best efforts to comply at the earliest practicable date with any request under any of the Antitrust Laws for additional information, documents, or other materials received by each of them or any of their respective Subsidiaries or Affiliates from any Governmental Authority in respect of such filings or such transactions and (iv) cooperate with each other in connection with any such filing (including, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, providing copies of all such documents to the non-filing parties prior to filing and considering all reasonable additions, deletions or changes suggested in connection therewith), and in connection with resolving any investigation or other inquiry of any Governmental Authority under any of the Antitrust Laws with respect to any such filing or any such transaction. Each such party shall use its reasonable best efforts to furnish to each other all information required for any application or other filing to be made pursuant to any Applicable Law in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Each such party shall promptly inform the other parties hereto of any oral communication with, and provide copies of written communications with, any Governmental Authority regarding any such filings or any such transaction. No party hereto shall independently participate in any formal meeting with any Governmental Authority in respect of any such filings, investigation, or other inquiry without giving the other parties hereto prior notice of the meeting and, to the extent permitted by such Governmental Authority, the opportunity to attend and/or participate thereat. Subject to Applicable Law, the parties hereto will consult and cooperate with one another in connection with any analyses, appearances, presentations, memoranda, briefs, arguments, opinions and proposals made or submitted by or on behalf of any party hereto relating to proceedings under any of the Antitrust Laws. Any party may, as it deems advisable and necessary, reasonably designate any competitively sensitive material provided to the other parties under this Section 8.01 as "outside counsel only". Such materials and the information contained therein shall be given only to the outside legal counsel of the recipient and will not be disclosed by such outside counsel to employees, officers, or directors of the recipient, unless express written permission is obtained in advance from the source of the materials. The parties shall take

reasonable efforts to share information protected from disclosure under the attorney-client privilege, work product doctrine, joint defense privilege or any other privilege pursuant to this section so as to preserve any applicable privilege.

(c) In furtherance and not in limitation of the efforts referenced in Section 8.01(a), Parent (i) shall take any and all action necessary, including (1) selling or otherwise disposing of, or holding separate and agreeing to sell or otherwise dispose of, assets, categories of assets or businesses of the Company or its Subsidiaries; (2) terminating existing relationships, contractual rights or obligations of the Company or its Subsidiaries; (3) terminating any venture or other arrangement of the Company or its Subsidiaries; (4) creating any relationship, contractual rights or obligations of the Company or its Subsidiaries or (5) effectuating any other change or restructuring of the Company or its Subsidiaries (and, in each case, to enter into agreements or stipulate to the entry of an order or decree with), in each case, as required by the Federal Trade Commission, the Department of Justice or any other competition authority of any jurisdiction under an applicable Foreign Antitrust Law (collectively, "Antitrust Authority") in connection with the Merger under Antitrust Laws; provided, that any such action may be conditioned upon consummation of the Merger (each a "Divestiture Action") and to ensure that no Antitrust Authority enters any order, decision, judgment, decree, ruling, injunction (preliminary or permanent) preliminarily or permanently restraining, enjoining or prohibiting the consummation of the Merger or to ensure that no Antitrust Authority with the authority to clear, authorize or otherwise approve the consummation of the Merger, fails to do so by the End Date; provided, however, that none of Parent, Merger Subsidiary or any of their respective Affiliates, shall be required to sell, dispose of, hold separate, agree to sell or dispose of, terminate, create or effectuate any other change or restructuring (or enter into any agreement or stipulation), or otherwise agree or commit to, or otherwise effect, any Divestiture Action (A) with respect to any assets, categories of assets or businesses, relationships, rights, obligations, ventures or other arrangements of the Company or any of its Affiliates that would, individually or in the aggregate, be material to the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole or (B) with respect to any of Parent's, Merger Subsidiary's or any of their respective Affiliates' respective assets (including the stock of the Company, after the Merger), categories of assets or businesses, relationships, rights, obligations, ventures or other arrangements (any of the foregoing in this proviso, individually or together with any other Divestiture Action, a "Burdensome Divestiture Condition"); and (ii) shall not consummate or enter into any agreement providing for any acquisition by it or its Subsidiaries of any interest in any Person that derives revenues from products, services or lines of business similar to the Company's products, services or lines of business if such action would make it materially more likely that there would arise any impediments under any Antitrust Law that may be asserted by any Governmental Authority to the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby as soon as reasonably practicable. In the event that any action is instituted challenging the Merger as violative of any Antitrust Law, Parent shall take all action necessary, including litigation on the merits and/or any Divestiture Action to resist, avoid or resolve such action up to a Burdensome Divestiture Condition. In the event that any permanent or preliminary injunction or other order is entered or becomes reasonably foreseeable to be entered in any proceeding that would make consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby in accordance with the terms of this Agreement unlawful or that would restrain, enjoin or otherwise prevent or materially delay the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, Parent shall take promptly any and all steps, up to a Burdensome Divestiture Condition, necessary to vacate, modify or suspend such injunction or order so as to permit such consummation prior to the End Date. The Company shall cooperate with Parent and shall use its reasonable best efforts to assist Parent in resisting and reducing any Divestiture Action, provided that, unless requested in writing by Parent, the Company shall not propose, negotiate, agree or commit to, or otherwise effect any Divestiture Action.

(a) As promptly as practicable after the execution of this Agreement, (i) Parent and the Company shall cooperate in jointly preparing and causing to be filed with the SEC the Proxy Statement/Prospectus in preliminary form and (ii) Parent shall prepare and file with the SEC the Form S-4. The Proxy Statement/Prospectus will be included in and will constitute a part of the Form S-4 as a prospectus. Each of Parent and the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to (i) cause the Proxy Statement/Prospectus and Form S-4 to comply with applicable rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC and (ii) have the Proxy Statement/Prospectus cleared by the SEC as promptly as practicable after its filing. Parent shall use reasonable best efforts to have the Form S-4 declared effective under the 1933 Act as promptly as practicable after such filing and to keep the Form S-4 effective as long as is necessary to consummate the Merger. The Company shall mail or deliver the Proxy Statement/Prospectus to its stockholders as promptly as practicable after the Form S-4 is declared effective. Each of Parent and the Company shall furnish all information as may be reasonably requested by the other in connection with any such action and the preparation, filing and distribution of the Form S-4 and the Proxy Statement/Prospectus.

(b) Each of Parent and the Company shall, as promptly as practicable after receipt thereof, provide the other party and their respective counsel with copies of any written comments or correspondence and advise the other party of any oral comments with respect to the Proxy Statement/Prospectus or the Form S-4 received from the SEC or its staff. Each party shall cooperate and provide the other party and their respective counsel with a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on (i) the Form S-4 and the Proxy Statement/Prospectus prior to the filing or mailing thereof, as applicable, (ii) responses to any comments of the SEC with respect thereto and (iii) any amendment or supplement to the Proxy Statement/Prospectus and the Form S-4 prior to filing such with the SEC or its staff, and shall consider in good faith any comments of the other party thereto or its counsel. If required by Applicable Law, the Company shall disseminate to its stockholders, as promptly as reasonably practicable, any such required amendment of or supplement to the Proxy Statement/Prospectus.

(c) At any time prior to the Effective Time, each of the Company, Parent and Merger Subsidiary agrees to promptly notify the other party and their respective counsel upon identifying the need to, and reasonably cooperate with and use reasonable best efforts to, correct (by amendment or supplement to the Form S-4 or Proxy Statement/Prospectus, as applicable, in a form mutually acceptable to Parent and Company) any information related to Parent or the Company or any of their respective Affiliates, directors or officers if and to the extent that it shall have come (or shall have become known) to contain any misstatement or omission of a material fact necessary to make the statements therein in light of the circumstances in which they are made, not misleading.

(ii) if a breach of any representation or warranty or failure to perform or comply with any covenant or agreement by or on the part of Parent or Merger Subsidiary set forth in this Agreement shall have occurred, which breach or failure to perform or comply with (A) would cause the condition set forth in Section 9.03(a) not to be satisfied and (B) is not capable of being cured by Parent or Merger Subsidiary, as applicable, prior to the End Date or, if capable of being cured, shall not have been cured by Parent or Merger Subsidiary, as applicable, on or before the earlier of (x) the End Date and (y) the date that is thirty (30) days following the Company's delivery of written notice to Parent of such breach or failure to perform; provided, that the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 10.01(d)(ii) shall not be available to the Company if the Company's breach of any provision of this Agreement would cause the condition set forth in Section 9.02(a) not to be satisfied.

(b) No failure or delay by any party in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other

or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies herein provided shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by Applicable Law.

Section 11.04. Expenses; Termination Fee.

(a) General. Except as otherwise provided herein (including this Section 11.04), all costs and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be paid by the party incurring such cost or expense, whether or not the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement are consummated.

(b) Company Termination Fee.

(i) If this Agreement is terminated by Parent pursuant to Section 10.01(c)(i), then the Company shall pay an amount equal to $45,000,000 (the "Company Termination Fee") to Parent by wire transfer of immediately available funds within two Business Days after such termination.

(ii) If this Agreement is terminated by the Company pursuant to Section 10.01(d)(i), then the Company shall pay the Company Termination Fee to Parent by wire transfer of immediately available funds substantially concurrently with such termination.

(iii) If (A) after the date of this Agreement, a Company Acquisition Proposal shall have been made to the Company, publicly made directly to the stockholders of the Company generally or otherwise publicly disclosed or made known and, in any such case, such Company Acquisition Proposal is not withdrawn (and publicly withdrawn if made publicly) (x) at least three (3) Business Days prior to the Company Stockholder Meeting in the case of termination pursuant to Section 10.01(b)(iii) or (y) prior to a termination pursuant to either Section 10.01(c)(ii) or Section 10.01(b)(i), (B) thereafter, this Agreement is terminated by Parent or the Company pursuant to Section 10.01(b)(iii) or Section 10.01(b)(i) or by Parent pursuant to Section 10.01(c)(ii) and (C) within twelve (12) months after such termination, a Company Acquisition Proposal is consummated or the Company enters into a definitive agreement with respect to a Company Acquisition Proposal (regardless of when or whether such transaction is consummated), then the Company shall pay to Parent the Company Termination Fee by wire transfer of immediately available funds on the earlier of the date of consummation of, or entry into a definitive agreement with respect to, such Company Acquisition Proposal. For purposes of Section 11.04(b)(iii), all references to "15%" in the definition of "Company Acquisition Proposal" shall be deemed to be references to "50%".

(i) The Company acknowledges that (i) the agreements contained in this Section 11.04 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and (ii) without these agreements, Parent would not enter into this Agreement. Accordingly, if the Company fails to timely pay any amount due pursuant to this Section 11.04 and, in order to obtain such payment, Parent commences a Proceeding that results in a judgment against the Company for the payment of any amount set forth in this Section 11.04, the Company shall pay Parent its costs and expenses in connection with such suit (including reasonable attorneys' fees), together with interest on such amount at an annual rate equal to the prime rate as published in The Wall Street Journal in effect on the date such payment was required to be made through the date such payment was actually received, or such lesser rate as is the maximum permitted by Applicable Law. In no event shall the Company be required to pay the Company Termination Fee on more than one occasion.

(ii) Each of the Company, Parent and Merger Subsidiary agree that, upon any termination of this Agreement under circumstances where the Company Termination Fee is payable by the Company pursuant to this Section 11.04 and such Company Termination Fee is paid in full, Parent and Merger Subsidiary shall be precluded from any other remedy against the Company at law or in equity or otherwise, and none of Parent or Merger Subsidiary shall seek to obtain any recovery, judgment, or damages of any kind, including consequential, indirect, or punitive damages, against the Company or any of the Company's Subsidiaries or any of their respective former, current or future directors, officers, employees, partners, managers, members, stockholders or Affiliates or their respective Representatives in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing in this Section 11.04(c)(ii), the Company shall not be relieved or released from any liabilities or damages of Parent or Merger Subsidiary arising out of any willful and material breach of any provision of this Agreement, and none of Parent or Merger Subsidiary shall be prohibited or precluded from bringing such a claim against the Company in such circumstances.

The mere inclusion of an item in the Company Disclosure Letter or the Parent Disclosure Letter, as applicable, as an item of disclosure to a representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or other provision hereof shall not be deemed an admission that such item represents a material exception or material fact, event or circumstance or that such item has had or would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on the Company or Parent, as applicable.

Section 11.06. Binding Effect; Benefit; Assignment.

(a) Subject to the terms of this Section 11.06, the provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon, shall inure to the benefit of and shall be enforceable by the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns.

(b) No party may assign, delegate or otherwise transfer, by operation of law or otherwise, any of its rights, interests or obligations under this Agreement without the consent of each of the other parties hereto, except that Parent or Merger Subsidiary may transfer or assign any or all of Merger Subsidiary's rights, interests or obligations hereunder to one or more, or any combination of, direct or indirect wholly-owned Subsidiaries at any time; provided that such transfer or assignment shall not relieve Parent or Merger Subsidiary of its obligations hereunder or enlarge, alter or change any obligation of any other party hereto or due to Parent or Merger Subsidiary.

Section 11.08. Consent to Jurisdiction.

(a) Each of Parent, Merger Subsidiary and the Company irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of (a) the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, New Castle County, and (b) if the foregoing court declines to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, the United States District Court in Wilmington, Delaware, in each case for the purposes of any Proceeding arising out of this Agreement or any transaction contemplated hereby. Each of Parent, Merger Subsidiary and the Company agrees to commence any Proceeding relating hereto in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, New Castle County, and if such court declines to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, in the United States District Court in Wilmington, Delaware. Each of Parent, Merger Subsidiary and the Company irrevocably and unconditionally waives any objection to the laying of venue of any Proceeding arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby in (i) the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, New Castle County, and (ii) if the foregoing court declines to accept jurisdiction, the United States District Court in Wilmington, Delaware, and hereby further irrevocably and unconditionally waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any such court that any such Proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Each of Parent, Merger Subsidiary and the Company irrevocably waives any objections or immunities to jurisdiction to which it may otherwise be entitled or become entitled (including sovereign immunity, immunity to pre-judgment attachment, post-judgment attachment and execution) in any such Proceeding against it arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby which is instituted in any such court. The parties agree that a final non-appealable judgment in any such Proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Applicable Law.

Neither the Company nor any other Person will have or be subject to any liability or indemnification obligation under this Agreement to Parent, Merger Subsidiary, or any other Person resulting from the distribution to Parent, Merger Subsidiary or any of their respective Affiliates or Representatives, or Parent's or Merger Subsidiary's (or any of their respective Affiliates' or Representatives') use of, any such information, including any information, documents, projections, forecasts, management presentations or other material made available in certain "data rooms" or otherwise, in expectation of the Merger or the other transactions contemplated hereunder, except in all cases to the extent that any such information is included in a representation or warranty contained in Article 4 (as qualified by the Company Disclosure Letter).

(c) The Company has conducted its own independent review and analysis of the business, operations, assets, Contracts, Intellectual Property, real estate, technology, liabilities, results of operations, financial condition and prospects of Parent and its Subsidiaries, and the Company acknowledges and agrees that it and its Representatives have received access to such books and records, facilities, equipment, Contracts and other assets of Parent and its Subsidiaries that it and its Representatives have requested to review and that it and its Representatives have had the opportunity to meet with the management of Parent and to discuss the business and assets of Parent and its Subsidiaries.

None of Parent, Merger Subsidiary nor any other Person will have or be subject to any liability or indemnification obligation under this Agreement to the Company or any other Person resulting from the distribution to the Company or any of its respective Affiliates or Representatives, or the Company's (or any of its Affiliates' or Representatives') use of, any such information, including any information, documents, projections, forecasts, management presentations or other material made available in certain "data rooms" or otherwise, in expectation of the Merger or the other transactions contemplated hereunder, except in all cases to the extent that any such information is included in any representation or warranty contained in Article 5 (as qualified by the Parent Disclosure Letter).

Section 11.12. Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction or other Governmental Authority to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party. Upon such a determination, the parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.

Section 11.13. Specific Performance. The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage for which monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy would occur in the event that the parties hereto do not perform their obligations under the provisions of this Agreement (including failing to take such actions as are required of them hereunder to consummate the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement) in accordance with its specified terms or otherwise breach such provisions. The parties acknowledge and agree that, prior to any valid termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 10.01, the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions, specific performance or other equitable relief in the event of any breach or to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof in the courts described in Section 11.08 without proof of damages or otherwise, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled under this Agreement at law or in equity, and the right of specific enforcement is an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and without that right, neither the Company nor Parent would have entered into this Agreement. Each of the parties hereto agrees that, prior to any valid termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 10.01, it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief on the basis that the other parties hereto have an adequate remedy at law or an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or in equity. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that any party seeking an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in accordance with this Section 11.13 shall not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with any such order or injunction.
