(a) Unless the Offer is extended pursuant to and in accordance with Section 2.2(b), the Offer shall expire at midnight, Eastern Time (i.e., one minute after 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time), on the date that is 20 Business Days (for this purpose calculated in accordance with Section 14d-1(g)(3) promulgated under the Exchange Act) after the date that the Offer is first commenced (within the meaning of Rule 14d-2 promulgated under the Exchange Act). In the event that the Offer is extended pursuant to and in accordance with this Agreement, then the Offer shall expire on the date and at the time to which the Offer has been so extended (such date and time that the Offer expires, the “Expiration Date”).

(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.2(a) or anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement:

(i) Purchaser shall (and Parent shall cause Purchaser to) extend the Offer for any period required by any Law, or any rule, regulation, interpretation or position of the SEC or its staff or the NYSE, in any such case, which is applicable to the Offer or the Merger and until any waiting period (and any extension thereof) applicable to the consummation of the Offer under the HSR Act relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall have expired or been terminated;

(ii) in the event that any condition to the Offer (including the Minimum Condition) has not been satisfied or waived as of any then scheduled expiration of the Offer, Purchaser shall (and Parent shall cause Purchaser to) extend the Offer for successive extension periods of up to ten Business Days each in order to further seek the satisfaction of the conditions to the Offer (including the Minimum Condition); and

15

(iii) if, on or prior to any then scheduled Expiration Date, the Marketing Period has not expired, then Parent shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to extend the Offer until the first Business Day following the end of the Marketing Period, so long as no such extension would result in the Offer being extended beyond the third (3rd) Business Day immediately preceding the End Date;

provided, however, in each case that (x) any such extension shall not be deemed to impair, limit, or otherwise restrict in any manner the right of the Parties to terminate this Agreement pursuant to the terms of Section 10.1 and (y) Purchaser shall not be required (and Parent shall not be required to cause Purchaser) to extend the Offer beyond the End Date.

(c) Neither Parent nor Purchaser shall terminate or withdraw the Offer prior to the then scheduled expiration of the Offer without the prior written consent of the Company unless this Agreement is validly terminated in accordance with Section 10.1, in which case Purchaser shall (and Parent shall cause Purchaser to) irrevocably and unconditionally terminate the Offer promptly (but in no event more than one Business Day) after such termination of this Agreement. If the Offer is terminated or withdrawn by Purchaser, or this Agreement is terminated in accordance with Section 10.1, prior to the acceptance for payment of shares of Company Stock tendered in the Offer, Purchaser shall, and Parent shall cause Purchaser to, promptly return, and shall cause any depository acting on behalf of Purchaser to return, all tendered shares of Company Stock to the registered holders thereof.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Parent shall provide or cause to be provided to Purchaser on a timely basis the funds necessary to pay for any shares of Company Stock that Purchaser becomes obligated to purchase pursuant to the Offer; provided, however, that without the prior written consent of the Company, Purchaser shall not accept for payment, or pay for, any shares of Company Stock if, as a result, Purchaser would acquire less than the number of shares of Company Stock necessary to satisfy the Minimum Condition. The Offer Consideration shall be paid to the holder of each share of Company Stock validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) pursuant to the Offer subject to reduction for any applicable withholding Taxes payable in respect thereof.

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, shares of Company Stock that are issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than shares canceled in accordance with Section 3.5(a)) and that are held by any Person who has not tendered such shares in the Offer and is entitled to demand and properly demands appraisal of such shares in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL (“Appraisal Shares”) shall not be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration as provided in Section 3.5, but rather the holders of Appraisal Shares shall be entitled to payment by the Surviving Corporation of the “fair value” of such Appraisal Shares in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL; provided, however, that if any such holder shall fail to perfect or otherwise shall waive, withdraw or lose the right to appraisal under Section 262 of the DGCL, then the right of such holder to be paid the “fair value” of such holder’s Appraisal Shares shall cease and such Appraisal Shares shall be deemed to have been converted as of the Effective Time into, and to have become exchangeable solely for, the Merger Consideration as provided in Section 3.5. The Company shall provide prompt notice to Parent of any demands received by the Company for appraisal of any shares of Company Stock, withdrawals of such demands and any other instruments served pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL received by the Company. Following the Effective Time, Parent shall have the right to participate in and direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demands. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall not, without the prior written consent of Parent, make any payment with respect to, or settle or offer to settle, any such demands, or agree to do any of the foregoing.

Section 3.8 Exchange of Company Stock.

(a) Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall enter into a customary exchange agreement with a nationally recognized bank or trust company designated by Parent and reasonably acceptable to the Company (the “Exchange Agent”). At or immediately following the Effective Time on the Closing Date, Parent shall provide or shall cause to be provided to the Exchange Agent cash in an aggregate amount necessary to pay the aggregate Merger Consideration (the “Exchange Fund”). The Exchange Agent shall deliver the Merger Consideration to be issued pursuant to Section 3.5 out of the Exchange Fund. Except as provided in Section 3.8(g), the Exchange Fund shall not be used for any other purpose.

(b) Exchange Procedures.

(i) Certificates. Parent shall cause the Exchange Agent to mail, as soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time and in any event not later than the fifth Business Day following the Closing Date, to each holder of record of a Certificate whose shares of Company Stock were converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 3.5, (x) a letter of transmittal (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of the Certificates to the Exchange Agent and shall be in customary form) and (y) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates in exchange for

22

the Merger Consideration. Upon surrender of a Certificate for cancellation to the Exchange Agent or to such other agent or agents as may be appointed by Parent, together with such letter of transmittal, duly completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto, and such other documents as may reasonably be required by the Exchange Agent, the holder of such Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor, and Parent shall cause the Exchange Agent to pay and deliver in exchange thereof as promptly as practicable, cash in an amount equal to the Merger Consideration multiplied by the number of shares of Company Stock previously represented by such Certificate, and the Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be canceled. In the event of a transfer of ownership of Company Stock that is not registered in the transfer records of the Company, payment may be made and shares may be issued to a Person other than the Person in whose name the Certificate so surrendered is registered, if such Certificate shall be properly endorsed or otherwise be in proper form for transfer and the Person requesting such payment shall pay any transfer or other similar Taxes required by reason of the payment to a Person other than the registered holder of such Certificate or establish to the reasonable satisfaction of Parent that such Tax has been paid or is not applicable. No interest shall be paid or accrue on any cash payable upon surrender of any Certificate.

(ii) Book-Entry Shares. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, any holder of Book-Entry Shares shall not be required to deliver a Certificate or an executed letter of transmittal to the Exchange Agent to receive the Merger Consideration that such holder is entitled to receive pursuant to this Article III. In lieu thereof, each holder of record of one or more Book-Entry Shares whose shares of Company Stock were converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 3.5 shall automatically upon the Effective Time be entitled to receive, and Parent shall cause the Exchange Agent to pay and deliver as promptly as practicable after the Effective Time, cash in an amount equal to the Merger Consideration multiplied by the number of shares of Company Stock previously represented by such Book-Entry Shares, and the Book-Entry Shares of such holder shall forthwith be canceled. No interest shall be paid or accrue on any cash payable upon conversion of any Book-Entry Shares.

(c) The Merger Consideration issued and paid in accordance with the terms of this Article III upon the surrender of the Certificates (or, immediately, in the case of the Book-Entry Shares) shall be deemed to have been issued and paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such shares of Company Stock. After the Effective Time, there shall be no further registration of transfers on the stock transfer books of the Surviving Corporation of shares of Company Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, any Certificates formerly representing shares of Company Stock are presented to the Surviving Corporation or the Exchange Agent for any reason, they shall be canceled and exchanged as provided in this Article III.

(d) Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains undistributed to the former holders of Company Stock for one year after the Effective Time shall be delivered to the Surviving Corporation, upon demand, and any former holder of Company Stock who has not theretofore complied with this Article III shall thereafter look only to the Surviving Corporation for payment of its claim for the Merger Consideration.

23

(e) None of Parent, Purchaser, the Company, the Surviving Corporation or the Exchange Agent shall be liable to any Person in respect of any cash from the Exchange Fund delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law. Any Merger Consideration remaining unclaimed by former holders of Company Stock immediately prior to such time as such amounts would otherwise escheat to or become property of any Governmental Authority shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, become the property of the Surviving Corporation free and clear of any claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.

(f) In the event any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Parent, of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by Parent or the Exchange Agent, the posting by such Person of a bond in reasonable and customary amount as Parent or the Exchange Agent may direct, as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it or the Surviving Corporation with respect to such Certificate, the Exchange Agent will issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate the Merger Consideration had such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate been surrendered as provided in this Article III.

(g) The Exchange Agent shall invest the cash included in the Exchange Fund as directed by Parent; provided, however, that no such investment income or gain or loss thereon shall affect the amounts payable to holders of Company Stock. Any interest, gains and other income resulting from such investments shall be the sole and exclusive property of Parent payable to Parent upon its request, and no part of such interest, gains and other income shall accrue to the benefit of holders of Company Stock; provided, further, that any investment of such cash shall in all events be limited to direct short-term obligations of, or short-term obligations fully guaranteed as to principal and interest by, the U.S. government, in commercial paper rated A-1 or P-1 or better by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. or Standard & Poor’s Corporation, respectively, or in certificates of deposit, bank repurchase agreements or banker’s acceptances of commercial banks with capital exceeding $10 billion (based on the most recent financial statements of such bank that are then publicly available), and that no such investment or loss thereon shall affect the amounts payable to holders of Company Stock pursuant to this Article III. If for any reason (including losses) the cash in the Exchange Fund shall be insufficient to fully satisfy all of the payment obligations to be made in cash by the Exchange Agent hereunder, Parent shall promptly deposit cash into the Exchange Fund in an amount which is equal to the deficiency in the amount of cash required to fully satisfy such cash payment obligations.

Section 3.9 Further Assurances. If, at any time after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall determine that any actions are necessary or desirable to vest, perfect or confirm of record or otherwise in the Surviving Corporation its right, title or interest in, to or under any of the rights, properties or assets of either of the Company or Purchaser acquired or to be acquired by the Surviving Corporation as a result of, or in connection with, the Merger or otherwise to carry out this Agreement, then the officers and directors of the Surviving Corporation shall be authorized to take all such actions as may be necessary or desirable to vest all right, title or interest in, to and under such rights, properties or assets in the Surviving Corporation or otherwise to carry out this Agreement.

(a) Company Stock Options. Effective as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, each then-outstanding and unexercised Company Stock Option, to the extent then vested (including Company Stock Options that vest in connection with the Merger or such holder’s termination from the Company in connection with the Merger) or otherwise designated by Parent, shall automatically be canceled and converted into the right to receive from the Surviving Corporation an amount of cash equal to the product of (i) the total number of shares of Company Stock then underlying such Company Stock Option multiplied by (ii) the excess, if any, of the Merger Consideration over the exercise price per share of such Company Stock Option, without any interest thereon and subject to all applicable withholding. Each Company Stock Option that is unvested and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and which has not been designated for cancellation and a cash out as described above shall be assumed by Parent (an “Assumed Option”) on the same terms and conditions (including applicable vesting requirements) as applied to each such Assumed Option immediately prior to the Effective Time, except that (x) the number of shares of Parent Common Stock subject to the Assumed Option shall equal the product of the number of shares of Company Stock subject to the Company Stock Option, multiplied by the Exchange Ratio, with the result rounded down to the nearest whole number and (y) the per share exercise price of such Assumed Option will be equal to the quotient determined by dividing the exercise price per share at which such Assumed Option was exercisable immediately prior to the Effective Time by the Exchange Ratio, with the result rounded up to the nearest whole cent. Assumed Options will remain subject to the terms of the applicable Company Equity Plans and stock option agreements, except as necessary to effectuate the transactions contemplated in this Agreement. In the event that the exercise price of any Company Stock Option is equal to or greater than the Merger Consideration, such Company Stock Option shall be canceled, without any consideration being payable in respect thereof, and have no further force or effect.

(b) Company RSUs. Effective as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, each then-outstanding Company RSU, to the extent then vested (including Company RSUs that vest in connection with the Merger or such holder’s termination from the Company in connection with the Merger) or otherwise designated by Parent, shall be canceled and converted into the right to receive from the Surviving Corporation an amount of cash equal to the product of (i) the total number of shares of Company Stock then underlying such Company RSU multiplied by (ii) the Merger Consideration, without any interest thereon and subject to all applicable withholding. Each Company RSU that is unvested and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall automatically be converted into a restricted stock unit (“Assumed RSU”) settled in Parent Common Stock, on the same terms and conditions (including applicable vesting requirements) as applied to each such Company RSU immediately prior to the Effective Time, except that the number of shares of Parent Common Stock underlying such Assumed RSU will be equal to the product of (x) the number of shares of Company Stock subject to the Company RSU, multiplied by (y) the Exchange Ratio, with the result rounded down to the nearest whole number.

25

(c) Company OPP PSUs. Effective as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, each then-outstanding and unvested Company OPP PSU shall (i) be deemed earned based on the Merger Consideration as contemplated by the terms of such Company OPP PSU and (ii) to the extent so earned, become fully vested and converted into the right to receive from the Surviving Corporation an amount of cash equal to the product of (x) the total number of shares of Company Stock then underlying such Company OPP PSU multiplied by (y) the Merger Consideration, without any interest thereon and subject to all applicable withholding. Each Company OPP PSU that remains unearned based on the Merger Consideration as of the Effective Time shall be canceled, without any consideration being payable in respect thereof, and have no further force or effect.

(d) Company PSUs. Effective as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, each then-outstanding and unvested Company PSU shall, to the extent then vested (including Company PSUs that vest in connection with the Merger or such holder’s termination from the Company in connection with the Merger) or otherwise designated by Parent, be canceled and converted into the right to receive from the Surviving Corporation an amount of cash equal to the product of (i) the total number of shares of Company Stock then underlying such Company PSU assuming achievement of performance at target multiplied by (ii) the Merger Consideration, without any interest thereon and subject to all applicable withholding. Each Company PSU that is unvested and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall automatically be converted into a performance stock unit (“Assumed PSU”) settled in Parent Common Stock, on the same terms and conditions (including applicable vesting requirements) as applied to each such Company PSU immediately prior to the Effective Time, except that the number of shares of Parent Common Stock underlying such Assumed PSU will be equal to the product of (x) the number of shares of Company Stock subject to the Company PSU assuming achievement of performance at target, multiplied by (y) the Exchange Ratio, with the result rounded down to the nearest whole number.

(e) Company DSUs. Effective as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, each Company DSU that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall automatically be canceled and converted into the right to receive from the Surviving Corporation an amount of cash equal to the product of (i) the total number of shares of Company Stock then underlying such Company DSU multiplied by (ii) the Merger Consideration, without any interest thereon and subject to all applicable withholding.

(f) Parent Actions. Parent shall take all corporate action necessary to reserve for issuance a sufficient number of shares of Parent Common Stock for delivery with respect to the Assumed Options, Assumed RSUs and the Assumed PSUs in accordance with this Section 3.10. As soon as practicable after the Effective Time, Parent shall prepare and file with the SEC a Form S-8 (or such other appropriate form) registering a number of shares of Parent Common Stock necessary to fulfill Parent’s obligations under this Section 3.10.

(g) Company Actions.

(h) Non-U.S. Employees. Parent and the Company may agree to treat equity compensation held by Employees subject to non-U.S. Law in a manner other than that contemplated above in this Section 3.10 to the extent necessary to take into account applicable non-U.S. Law or Tax or employment considerations.

Section 3.11 Withholding. Parent, Purchaser, the Company and the Surviving Corporation, as applicable, shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from amounts otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any Person such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, or any applicable provisions of state, local or foreign Law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld and remitted to the applicable Taxing Authority, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.

Assuming the Transaction Financing is funded in accordance with the Debt Commitment Letter and the Equity Commitment Letter, the aggregate net proceeds contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letter and Equity Commitment Letter, together with the cash of Parent and its Subsidiaries, will be an amount sufficient for the satisfaction of Parent’s cash payment obligations under this Agreement on the Closing Date (including payment of the Offer Consideration, the Merger Consideration, all indebtedness of the Company and Parent expected to be required to be repaid or contemplated to be repaid as a condition of the Transaction Financing (the “Retired Debt”) and any fees and expenses of, or payable by, Parent, Purchaser or the Company in connection with the Offer or the Merger or the Transaction Financing).

47

(b) Parent has delivered to the Company a true, complete and correct copy of (i) an executed commitment letter and fee letters (as redacted in a customary manner to remove the fee amounts, pricing caps, the rates and amounts included in the “market flex” and certain other terms (none of which could reasonably be expected to adversely affect the conditionality, enforceability, termination or aggregate principal amount of the Transaction Debt Financing)) (collectively, the “Debt Commitment Letter”) from the financial institutions identified therein (together with their respective Affiliates and their respective officers, employees, directors, equityholders, partners, controlling parties, advisors, agents and Representatives, any substitute, replacement or alternative financial institution permitted by Section 8.11(a), and in each case their respective successors and assigns, the “Debt Financing Sources”), pursuant to which, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein, the Debt Financing Sources have committed to lend or invest the amounts set forth therein on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein for the purpose of financing the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Transaction Debt Financing”), and (ii) an executed commitment letter and fee letter (as redacted in a customary manner to remove the fee amounts and certain other terms (none of which could reasonably be expected to adversely affect the conditionality, enforceability, termination or aggregate amount of the Transaction Financing to be made available thereunder) (collectively, the “Equity Commitment Letter” and collectively with the Debt Commitment Letter, the “Commitment Letters”)) from Koch Equity Development LLC (together with their respective Affiliates and their respective officers, employees, directors, equityholders, partners, controlling parties, advisors, agents and Representatives, any substitute, replacement or alternative financial institution permitted by Section 8.11(a), and their respective successors and assigns, the “Equity Financing Sources” and collectively with the Debt Financing Sources, the “Financing Sources”) pursuant to which, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein, the Equity Financing Sources have committed to purchase securities issued by Parent in the amounts set forth therein on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein for the purpose of financing the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Transaction Equity Financing” and collectively with the Transaction Debt Financing, the “Transaction Financing”).

(c) Other than as expressly set forth in the Debt Commitment Letter and the Equity Commitment Letter, there are no other agreements, side letters, arrangements or understandings, in each case associated with the Transaction Financing, which would (i) impair the enforceability of the Debt Commitment Letter or Equity Commitment Letter, (ii) reduce the aggregate amount of the Transaction Financing or (iii) impose new or additional (or adversely expand, modify or amend any of the existing) conditions precedent to the Transaction Financing relating to the financing of the cash amounts needed to be paid in connection with the Offer or the Merger (including all fees and expenses required to be paid in connection with the Transaction Financing). There are no conditions precedent or other contingencies related to the funding of the full amount of the Transaction Financing, except as set forth in the Debt Commitment Letter and Equity Commitment Letter in the form so delivered to the Company as of the date hereof.

48

(d) As of the date hereof, each of the Debt Commitment Letter and Equity Commitment Letter in the form so delivered to the Company is in full force and effect and represents the legally valid and binding obligation of Parent and Parent’s Subsidiaries, as applicable, and, to the Knowledge of Parent, each of the other parties thereto, enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to the Enforceability Exceptions. As of the date hereof, neither the Debt Commitment Letter nor the Equity Commitment Letter have been withdrawn, rescinded or terminated or otherwise amended, restated, modified or waived in any respect (other than amendments, modifications, substitutions or replacements as permitted by Section 8.11). Parent and Parent’s Subsidiaries are not in breach of any of the terms or conditions set forth in the Debt Commitment Letter or the Equity Commitment Letter. All fees required to be paid under the Debt Commitment Letter and Equity Commitment Letter have been paid in full or, if not yet due, will be duly paid in full when due.

(e) Parent acknowledges and agrees that the obtaining of financing is not a condition to the Closing. For the avoidance of doubt, if any financing contemplated to be obtained by Parent in connection with the Merger has not been obtained prior to the Closing, Parent and Purchaser shall continue to be obligated, subject to the fulfillment or waiver of the conditions to the Offer set forth in Annex A and the conditions in Section 9.1 to consummate the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement at the Closing in accordance with this Agreement.

Section 5.7 Litigation. Except as would not reasonably be expected to, individually or in the aggregate, prevent or materially delay the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, (a) there is no Proceeding pending (or, to the Knowledge of Parent, threatened) by any Governmental Authority against Parent or any of its Subsidiaries, or to the Knowledge of Parent, against any present or former officer or director of Parent in such individual’s capacity as such, in each case, before any Governmental Authority and (b) to the Knowledge of Parent, Parent and its Subsidiaries are not under investigation by any Governmental Authority with respect to any violation by Parent or its Subsidiaries of any applicable Law or Order.

Section 5.8 Share Ownership. None of Parent, Purchaser or any of their respective “affiliates” or “associates” (as defined in Section 203 of the DGCL) (a) beneficially owns (as such term is used in Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act) any Company Stock or any options, warrants or other rights to acquire Company Stock or other securities of, or any other economic interest (through derivatives, securities or otherwise) in the Company or (b) is, or at any time within the past three years has been, an “interested stockholder” of the Company (as defined in Section 203 of the DGCL).

Section 5.9 No Additional Representations. Except for the representations and warranties expressly made by Parent and Purchaser in this Article V, neither Parent, Purchaser nor any other Person makes, and the Company disclaims any reliance upon, any express or implied representation or warranty whatsoever or with respect to any information provided or made available in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including any information, documentation, forecasts, budgets, projections or estimates provided by Parent or any Representative of Parent, including in any “data rooms” or management presentations or the accuracy or completeness of any of the foregoing.

(c) Parent shall or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to either (i) continue to maintain in effect for a period of no less than six years after the Effective Time the Company’s directors’ and officers’ insurance policies (the “D&O Insurance”), in place as of the date of this Agreement or (ii) purchase comparable D&O Insurance (from a carrier with the same or better credit rating as the Company’s D&O Insurance carrier) for such six-year period, in each case, with coverage for the persons who are covered by the Company’s existing D&O Insurance, with terms, conditions, retentions and levels of coverage at least as favorable to the insured individuals as the Company’s existing D&O Insurance with respect to matters existing or occurring prior to the Effective Time; provided that in no event shall Parent or the Surviving Corporation be required to expend for such policies pursuant to this sentence an annual premium amount in excess of 300% of the amount per annum the Company paid in its last full fiscal year

54

(the “Premium Cap”); provided, further, that if the amount necessary to procure such insurance coverage exceeds the Premium Cap, the Company may purchase the most advantageous policy available for an amount not to exceed the Premium Cap. At the Company’s option, the Company may purchase, prior to the Effective Time, a prepaid “tail policy” for a period of no more than six years after the Effective Time with coverage for the persons who are covered by the Company’s existing D&O Insurance, with terms, conditions, retentions and levels of coverage at least as favorable to the insured individuals as the Company’s existing D&O Insurance with respect to matters existing or occurring prior to the Effective Time, in which event Parent shall cease to have any obligations under the first sentence of this Section 7.2(c); provided that the aggregate premium for such policies shall not exceed the Premium Cap; provided, further, that if the amount of annual premiums necessary to maintain or procure such insurance coverage exceeds the Premium Cap, the Company may procure and maintain for such six-year period the most advantageous policy available for an annual premium equal to the Premium Cap. In the event the Company elects to purchase such a “tail policy,” the Surviving Corporation shall (and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to) maintain such “tail policy” in full force and effect for a period of no less than six years after the Effective Time and continue to honor its obligations thereunder.

(d) In the event that either Parent or the Surviving Corporation or any of its successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and is not the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers or conveys all or substantially all of its properties, rights and other assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, Parent shall cause the successors and assigns of Parent or the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, to succeed to or assume the applicable obligations of such Party set forth in this Section 7.2.

(e) The provisions of this Section 7.2 shall survive consummation of the Merger, are intended to be for the benefit of, and will be enforceable by, each of the Company Indemnified Parties and are in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other rights to indemnification or contribution that any such person may have by Contract, at Law or otherwise.

Section 7.3 Employee Matters.

(a) Except as provided in this Section 7.3, for a period beginning on the Closing Date and continuing thereafter until the end of calendar year 2018 (the “Continuation Period”), Parent shall provide, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries to provide, Employees as of immediately prior to the Effective Time who continue employment with Parent or any of its Subsidiaries, including the Surviving Corporation, at or following the Closing (the “Continuing Employees”) with employee benefits (excluding compensation and equity-based compensation) that are (i) with respect to employee benefits that were elected for the Continuation Period during the Company’s annual enrollment period recently ended, the same as those in effect for such Continuing Employees immediately prior to the Closing, and (ii) with respect to employee benefits that were not elected for the Continuation Period during the Company’s annual enrollment period recently ended, comparable in the aggregate to those in effect for such Continuing Employees immediately prior to the Closing; provided that until the one year anniversary of the Closing Date, Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall keep in

55

effect all severance plans, practices and policies that are applicable to employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries as of the date hereof and set forth on Section 7.3(a) of the Company Disclosure Letter. During the Continuation Period, Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries to, provide the Continuing Employees coverage under the same Company Plans set forth in Section 7.3(a) of the Company Disclosure Letter as were in effect immediately prior to the Closing Date. Except as set forth in Section 7.3(a) of the Company Disclosure Letter, nothing herein shall be deemed to limit the right of Parent or any of their respective Affiliates to (i) terminate the employment of any Continuing Employee at any time, (ii) change or modify the terms or conditions of employment for any Continuing Employee to the extent such change is not inconsistent with the provisions of this Section 7.3 or (iii) change or modify any Company Plan or other employee benefit plan or arrangement in accordance with its terms; provided that such change or modification does not otherwise violate the requirements of this Section 7.3.

(b) In the event that, during the 12 month period following the Closing Date, Parent shall or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to offer (a “Reduced Compensation Offer”) any Continuing Employee employment terms having (x) a rate of basic pay, (y) a target short-term incentive opportunity (including sales or management incentives) and (z) a target long-term incentive opportunity that, in the aggregate, is less than the rate of basic pay, target short-term incentive opportunity and the target long-term incentive opportunity in the aggregate that was made available to such Continuing Employee immediately prior to the Closing (the “Pre-Closing Compensation”), such Reduced Compensation Offer shall be provided to the Continuing Employee in writing and such Continuing Employee shall have 7 days to consider whether to (i) accept employment on the terms provided in the Reduced Compensation Offer or (ii) reject the Reduced Compensation Offer and instead receive severance benefits. If a Continuing Employee shall accept the Reduced Compensation Offer, the rate of compensation described therein shall not take effect earlier than 28 days following the date the Reduced Compensation Offer is provided to the Continuing Employee (the “Reduced Compensation Effective Date”).

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 7.3, Parent shall or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to pay severance to (i) any Continuing Employee who rejects a Reduced Compensation Offer and who voluntarily terminates employment within 14 days following the rejection of such Reduced Compensation Offer, (ii) any Continuing Employee (including any Continuing Employee who accepts or rejects a Reduced Compensation Offer) who is terminated by the Company without cause (as such term is defined in the Company Severance Plan or such Continuing Employee’s employment agreement) within 12 months following the Closing Date or, if applicable, the Reduced Compensation Effective Date and (iii) any Continuing Employee who (x) is notified within the 12 month period following the Closing that his or her worksite is being relocated more than fifty (50) miles, (y) declines to relocate and (z) voluntarily terminates employment or is terminated without cause (as such term is defined in the Company Severance Plan or such Continuing Employee’s employment agreement) due to his or her decision not to relocate, in each such case, in accordance with the severance plans, practices and policies that are applicable to Employees as of the date hereof and set forth on Section 7.3(c) of the Company Disclosure Letter and any individual severance entitlements in an employment agreement, offer letter or severance letter set forth on Section 7.3(c) of the Company Disclosure Letter, except that, with respect to any Continuing Employee who has accepted a Reduced Compensation Offer, the amount of such severance benefits shall be determined assuming that such Continuing Employee was receiving, at termination, the Pre-Closing Compensation.

56

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 7.3, prior to the Closing Date, the pre-closing Compensation Committee of the Board (or other appropriate Company representatives) shall determine fiscal year 2017 annual bonuses under the Time Inc. 2017 Annual Incentive Plan, the Time Inc. Advertising Sales Incentive Plan and any other annual incentive or short-term incentive bonus plan of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in effect for the 2017 fiscal year of the Company in accordance with their terms and make bonus payments prior to the Closing Date.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 7.3, prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall establish, or shall cause its Subsidiaries to establish, the Time Inc. 2018 Annual Incentive Plan (the “2018 AIP”), the Time Inc. 2018 Advertising Sales Incentive Plan (the “2018 ASIP”) and other annual incentive and short-term incentive bonus plans for fiscal year 2018 based on the budgetary goals established by the pre-Closing Company Board (the “FY 2018 Company Bonus Plans”). Notwithstanding the terms and conditions of any FY 2018 Company Bonus Plan to the contrary, (1) if a Continuing Employee participates in the 2018 AIP and such Continuing Employee either (a) participates in an annual incentive or short-term bonus plan sponsored or maintained by Parent and its Affiliates (the “FY 2018 Parent Bonus Plans”) following June 30, 2018 or (b) terminates employment with the Company and its Subsidiaries and is entitled to receive severance, such Continuing Employee shall receive a Pro-Rated Incentive; (2) if a Continuing Employee participates in the 2018 ASIP or a sales incentive plan of the Company or its Subsidiaries and such Continuing Employee either (a) participates in a FY 2018 Parent Bonus Plan or (b) terminates employment with the Company and its Subsidiaries and is entitled to receive severance, such Continuing Employee shall receive a bonus based on actual performance through June 30, 2018 or the date of termination (whichever is earlier); and (3) Parent shall pay, or shall cause Surviving Corporation to pay, any bonus payment payable under clauses (1) and (2) above no later than 60 days after June 30, 2018. The Company shall obtain Parent’s prior consent to the terms and conditions of such 2018 bonus plans to the extent they contain material changes from the Company’s corresponding bonus plans for 2017 (except as modified by this Section 7.3(e)); provided that the changes described in Section 7.3(e) of the Company Disclosure Letter shall not require Parent’s consent. An Employee’s “Pro-Rated Incentive” shall mean the product of (i) and (ii) below:

(i) if the Effective Time occurs (X) on or prior to March 31, 2018, the amount calculated under the terms of the applicable FY 2018 Company Bonus Plan based on assumed target performance with respect to both quantitative and qualitative metrics and (Y) after March 31, 2018, the amount calculated under the terms of the applicable FY 2018 Company Bonus Plan using (A) actual results and prorated annual metrics for quantitative metrics (i.e., financials against budget) through March 31, 2018, (B) assumed target performance and prorated annual metrics with respect to quantitative metrics for the period April 1, 2018 through June 30, 2018 and (C) assumed target performance on qualitative metrics (e.g., 100% strategic rating) for the period through June 30, 2018 multiplied by

57

(ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the 2018 calendar year through and including the earlier to occur of June 30, 2018 and the date of termination, and the denominator of which is 365.

(f) For all purposes under the employee benefit plans, programs and arrangements established or maintained by Parent and its respective Affiliates (including for the purposes of determining the severance benefits payable to a Continuing Employee under any severance plan, program or arrangement of Parent or any of its Affiliates in such which such Continuing Employee participates following expiration of the commitment to maintain the severance plans of the Company and its Subsidiaries for 12 months following the Closing, as specified in Section 7.3(a)) in which Continuing Employees may be eligible to participate after the Closing (the “New Benefit Plans”), Parent shall credit each Continuing Employee with the same amount of service as was credited by the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time under similar or comparable Company Plans in which such Continuing Employee participated immediately prior to the Effective Time (except (x) for purposes of benefit accrual under defined benefit plans (y) vesting under any equity-related plan (other than the Assumed Awards), and (z) to the extent such credit would result in a duplication of benefits). In addition, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (i) with respect to any New Benefit Plans in which the Continuing Employees may be eligible to participate following the Closing, Parent shall use reasonable best efforts to cause each Continuing Employee to be immediately eligible to participate in such New Benefit Plans, without any waiting time, to the extent coverage under such New Benefit Plans replaces coverage under a similar or comparable Company Plan in which such Continuing Employee was eligible to participate immediately before such commencement of participation and (ii) for purposes of each New Benefit Plan providing medical, dental, pharmaceutical and/or vision benefits to any Continuing Employee, Parent shall use reasonable best efforts to cause all pre-existing condition exclusions and actively-at-work requirements of such New Benefit Plan to be waived for such Continuing Employee and his or her covered dependents, to the extent any such exclusions or requirements were waived or were inapplicable under any similar or comparable Company Plan in which such Continuing Employee participated immediately prior to the Closing. To the extent changes occur in the middle of a plan year, Parent shall use reasonable best efforts to cause any eligible expenses incurred by such Continuing Employee and his or her covered dependents during the portion of the plan year of the Company Plan ending on the date such Continuing Employee’s participation in the corresponding New Benefit Plan begins to be taken into account under such New Benefit Plan for purposes of satisfying all deductible, coinsurance and maximum out-of-pocket requirements applicable to such Continuing Employee and his or her covered dependents for the applicable plan year as if such amounts had been paid in accordance with such New Benefit Plan.

(g) The terms of this Section 7.3 are included for the sole benefit of the Parties and shall not confer any rights or remedies upon any Continuing Employee or former Employee, any participant or beneficiary in any Company Plan or any other Person or Governmental Authority (whether as a third party beneficiary or otherwise) other than the Parties hereto. Except as expressly set forth in this Section 7.3, nothing contained in this Agreement shall (i) constitute or be deemed to constitute an amendment to any Company Plan or other compensation or benefit plan, policy, program or arrangement, (ii) obligate Parent or any of its Subsidiaries to (x) maintain any particular benefit plan or arrangement or (y) retain the employment of any particular Employee; or (iii) prevent the Surviving Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries from amending or terminating any benefit plan or arrangement.

(b) In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, each of Parent and the Company shall make, as promptly as reasonably practicable, and in any event within ten (10) Business Days of the date of this Agreement, unless a later date is agreed to by Parent and the Company, an appropriate filing of a Notification and Report Form pursuant to the HSR Act with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Each of the Company and Parent shall supply as promptly as practicable and advisable any additional information and documentary material that may be reasonably requested pursuant to the foregoing, and to take all other actions necessary to cause the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting periods regarding the foregoing as soon as practicable, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. The Company and Parent shall each request early termination of the waiting period with respect to the Merger under the HSR Act.

(c) Except as prohibited by applicable Law or Order and subject to an appropriate agreement limiting the disclosure of competitively sensitive information to, as appropriate, in-house counsel, outside counsel and consultants retained by such counsel, each of Parent and the Company shall (i) cooperate and consult with each other in connection with any filing or submission with a Governmental Authority in connection with the transactions contemplated by

59

this Agreement and in connection with any investigation or other inquiry by or before a Governmental Authority relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including any proceeding initiated by a private party, including by allowing the other Party to have a reasonable opportunity to review in advance and comment on drafts of filings and submissions, (ii) promptly inform the other Party of (and if in writing, supply to the other Party) any substantive communication received by such Party from, or given by such Party to, the Federal Trade Commission, the Antitrust Division of the Department of Justice, or any other similar Governmental Authority and of any material communication received or given in connection with any proceeding by a private party, in each case regarding any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including Item “4(c)” and “4(d)” documents” as those terms are used in the rules and regulations under the HSR Act, except that such documents need not be disclosed even to outside counsel or consultants retained by such counsel to the extent such documents discuss deal negotiations, alternative offers, valuation, or similar subjects), (iii) consult with each other prior to taking any material position with respect to the filings under the HSR Act or any other Competition Law in discussions with or filings to be submitted to any Governmental Authority, (iv) permit the other to review and discuss in advance, and consider in good faith the views of the other in connection with, any analyses, presentations, memoranda, briefs, arguments, opinions and proposals to be submitted to any Governmental Authority with respect to filings under the HSR Act or any other Competition Law and (v) coordinate with the other in preparing and exchanging such information and promptly provide the other (and its counsel) with copies of all filings, presentations or submissions (and a summary of any oral presentations) made by such Party with any Governmental Authority relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby under the HSR Act or any other Competition Law.

(d) Unless prohibited by applicable Law or Order or by the applicable Governmental Authority, each of the Company and Parent shall (i) to the extent reasonably practicable, not participate in or attend any meeting, or engage in any substantive conversation, with any Governmental Authority in respect of the Offer or the Merger (including with respect to any of the actions referred to in Section 8.1(a) but other than as contemplated by Section 2.4 and Section 2.5) without the other, (ii) to the extent reasonably practicable, give the other reasonable prior notice of any such meeting or conversation and (iii) in the event one such Party is prohibited by applicable Law or Order or by the applicable Governmental Authority from participating or attending any such meeting or engaging in any such conversation, keep the non-participating Party reasonably apprised with respect thereto.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 8.1, but subject to this Section 8.1(e), Parent shall take any action to avoid or eliminate each and every impediment that may be asserted by any Governmental Authority with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement so as to enable the Closing to occur as soon as reasonably possible, including (i) the prompt use of its best efforts to avoid the entry of, or to effect the dissolution of, any permanent, preliminary or temporary Order that would delay, restrain, prevent, enjoin or otherwise prohibit consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including (A) the defense through litigation on the merits of any claim asserted in any court, agency or other proceeding by any Person, including any Governmental Authority, seeking to delay, restrain, prevent, enjoin or otherwise prohibit consummation of such transactions, (B) the proffer and agreement by Parent of its willingness to sell, lease, license or otherwise dispose of, or hold

60

separate pending such disposition, and promptly to effect the sale, lease, license, disposal and holding separate of, such assets, rights, product lines, categories of assets or businesses or other operations or interests therein of Parent or any of its Subsidiaries (including, after the Closing, the Company and its Subsidiaries) (and the entry into agreements with, and submission to orders of, the relevant Governmental Authority giving effect thereto) and (C) the proffer and agreement by Parent of its willingness to take such other actions, and promptly to effect such other actions (and the entry into agreements with, and submission to orders of, the relevant Governmental Authority giving effect thereto), in each case if such action should be reasonably necessary or advisable to avoid, prevent, eliminate or remove the actual, anticipated or threatened (x) commencement of any Proceeding in any forum or (y) issuance of any Order that would delay, restrain, prevent, enjoin or otherwise prohibit consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement by any Governmental Authority and (ii) the prompt use of its best efforts to take, in the event that any permanent, preliminary or temporary Order is entered or issued, or becomes reasonably foreseeable to be entered or issued, in any proceeding or inquiry of any kind that would make consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in accordance with its terms unlawful or that would delay, restrain, prevent, enjoin or otherwise prohibit consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, any and all steps (including the appeal thereof and the posting of a bond) necessary to resist, vacate, modify, reverse, suspend, prevent, eliminate or remove such actual, anticipated or threatened Order so as to permit such consummation on a schedule as close as possible to that contemplated by this Agreement; provided that Parent shall not be required to divest, license, hold separate, or take any other action (“Remedy”) with respect to any publication, brand, business, or line of business of the Company, Parent or their respective Subsidiaries that would reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect. Nothing in this Section 8.1(e) shall obligate Parent to agree to any Remedy or other remedy not conditioned on the consummation of the Offering and the Closing.

(f) Neither Parent nor any of its Subsidiaries shall, directly or indirectly, acquire or agree to acquire any other Person or assets (whether by merger, consolidation, stock or asset purchase, tender or exchange offer, recapitalization, reorganization or any other form of transaction) to the extent such acquisition would reasonably be expected to materially impair or delay the ability of Parent to obtain the expiration or termination of the waiting period under the HSR Act or any other applicable Antitrust Law.

Section 8.2 No Solicitation; Board Recommendation.

(a) From and after the date of this Agreement until the earlier to occur of the Acceptance Time and the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Article X, and except as otherwise specifically provided for in this Agreement, the Company shall not, and shall cause its Subsidiaries not to, and shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause its officers, directors, Employees and Representatives not to (including by directing them not to), directly or indirectly, (i) continue any solicitation, knowing encouragement, discussions or negotiations with any Person that may be ongoing with respect to any Company Acquisition Proposal, (ii) solicit, initiate or knowingly encourage any inquiry, proposal or offer which constitutes, or could reasonably be expected to lead to, a Company Acquisition Proposal, (iii) participate in any discussions or negotiations regarding, or furnish to any Person (other than Parent, its Affiliates

61

and their respective Representatives) any nonpublic information relating to the Company and its Subsidiaries, in connection with any inquiry, proposal or offer which constitutes, or could reasonably be expected to lead to, a Company Acquisition Proposal, (iv) approve or recommend, or make any public statement approving or recommending, any inquiry, proposal or offer which constitutes, or could reasonably be expected to lead to, a Company Acquisition Proposal, (v) enter into any letter of intent, merger agreement or other similar agreement regarding or providing for a Company Acquisition Proposal or any proposal or offer which could reasonably be expected to lead to a Company Acquisition Proposal (other than an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement entered into in compliance with this Section 8.2) (each an “Alternative Acquisition Agreement”), (vi) submit any Company Acquisition Proposal to a vote of the stockholders of the Company or (vii) resolve or agree to do any of the foregoing. The Company agrees that in the event any Representative of the Company takes any action which, if taken by the Company, would constitute a breach of this Section 8.2, the Company shall be deemed in breach of this Section 8.2.

(b) If, prior to the Acceptance Time, the Company receives an unsolicited bona fide written Company Acquisition Proposal that was made after the date of this Agreement and that the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with the Company’s outside financial advisors and outside legal counsel, (i) is or could reasonably be expected to lead to a Superior Proposal and (ii) failure to take such action would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law, then the Company may, in response to such Company Acquisition Proposal, furnish nonpublic information relating to the Company and its Subsidiaries to the Person or group (or any of their Representatives) making such Company Acquisition Proposal and engage in discussions or negotiations with such Person or group and their Representatives regarding such Company Acquisition Proposal; provided that (x) prior to furnishing any nonpublic information relating to the Company and its Subsidiaries to such Person or group or their respective Representatives, the Company gives written notice to Parent after any such determination by the Company Board and enters into an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement with the Person or group making such Company Acquisition Proposal (and the information is furnished pursuant to such Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement), and (y) the Company promptly (but not more than 24 hours) after furnishing any such nonpublic information to such Person, furnishes such nonpublic information to Parent (to the extent such nonpublic information has not been previously so furnished to Parent or its Representatives). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Company and its Subsidiaries and the Company’s Representatives may in any event (A) seek to clarify the terms and conditions of any Company Acquisition Proposal solely to determine whether such Company Acquisition Proposal constitutes or could reasonably be expected to lead to a Superior Proposal and (B) inform a Person or group that has made or, to the Knowledge of the Company, is considering making, a Company Acquisition Proposal of the provisions of this Section 8.2. In no event may the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their Representatives directly or indirectly reimburse or pay, or agree to reimburse or pay, the fees, costs or expenses of, or provide or agree to provide any compensation to, any Person or Persons (or any of its or their Representatives or potential financing sources) who makes a Company Acquisition Proposal.

62

(c) The Company shall promptly (and in any event within 24 hours) notify Parent after receipt of any Company Acquisition Proposal, any inquiry or proposal that could reasonably be expected to lead to a Company Acquisition Proposal or any inquiry or request for nonpublic information relating to the Company and its Subsidiaries by any Person who has made or could reasonably be expected to make a Company Acquisition Proposal. Such notice shall indicate the identity of the Person making such inquiry or proposal and include a copy of the Company Acquisition Proposal or, if not in writing, a summary of the material terms and conditions of any such proposal or offer or the nature of the information requested pursuant to such inquiry or request. Thereafter, the Company shall keep Parent reasonably informed, on a prompt basis (and in any event within 24 hours), regarding any material developments, discussions or negotiations regarding any such proposal or offer and any material changes to the status and material terms of any such proposal or offer (including any material amendments thereto or any material change to the scope or material terms or conditions thereof).

(d) The Company shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, and shall direct its Representatives to, immediately cease any existing discussions or negotiations with any Person (other than Parent and its Subsidiaries) with respect to any potential Company Acquisition Proposal. The Company shall promptly terminate access by any such Person or group to any such physical or electronic data rooms relating to any potential Company Acquisition Proposal. The Company shall promptly after the date hereof request each Person (if any) that has received information from the Company during the past twelve months pursuant to a confidentiality agreement relating to any potential Company Acquisition Proposal to promptly return to the Company or destroy all non-public documents and materials relating to the Company Acquisition Proposal or to the Company or its Subsidiaries or its or their businesses, operations or affairs heretofore furnished by the Company, its Subsidiaries or any of its or their Representatives to such Person or group or any of its Representatives in accordance with the terms of such confidentiality agreement, and shall not waive, terminate or modify without Parent’s prior written consent, any standstill or similar provision in any confidentiality, standstill or other agreement with such Person; provided that the Company may waive any standstill or similar provisions to the extent necessary to permit a Person or group to make, on a confidential basis to the Company Board, a Company Acquisition Proposal, conditioned upon such Person agreeing to disclosure of such Company Acquisition Proposal to Parent.

(e) Subject to this Section 8.2, neither the Company Board nor any committee thereof shall effect a Company Adverse Recommendation Change. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, but subject to Section 8.2(f), prior to the Acceptance Time, the Company Board may effect a Company Adverse Recommendation Change (and, in the case of a bona fide written Company Acquisition Proposal that was unsolicited after the date of this Agreement and that did not result from a material breach of this Section 8.2, terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.1(d)(ii) and concurrently pay the fees required by Section 10.3 in order to enter into a definitive agreement in connection with a Superior Proposal) if: (i) (A) a Company Acquisition Proposal is made to the Company after the date of this Agreement and such Company Acquisition Proposal is not withdrawn prior to such Company Adverse Recommendation Change or (B) there has been an Intervening Event; (ii) in the case of a Company Acquisition Proposal, the Company Board concludes in good faith, after consultation with the Company’s outside financial advisors and outside legal counsel, that such Company

63

Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal; and (iii) the Company Board concludes in good faith, after consultation with the Company’s outside legal counsel, that failure to take such action would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Laws.

(f) Prior to making any Company Adverse Recommendation Change or entering into any Alternative Acquisition Agreement, (i) the Company Board shall provide Parent at least four Business Days’ prior written notice of its intention to take such action, which notice shall specify, in reasonable detail, the reasons therefor and, in the case of a Company Acquisition Proposal, the material terms and conditions of such proposal, including a copy of any proposed definitive agreements; (ii) during the four Business Days following such written notice, the Company Board and its Representatives shall negotiate in good faith with Parent (to the extent Parent desires to negotiate) regarding any revisions to the terms of the transactions contemplated hereby proposed by Parent in response to such Superior Proposal or Intervening Event, as applicable; and (iii) at the end of the four Business Day period described in the foregoing clause (ii), the Company Board concludes in good faith, after consultation with the Company’s outside legal counsel and outside financial advisors (and taking into account any legally binding (if accepted by the Company) adjustment or modification of the terms of this Agreement proposed in writing by Parent), that, as applicable (A) the Company Acquisition Proposal continues to be a Superior Proposal or (B) the Intervening Event continues to warrant a Company Adverse Recommendation Change and, in each case, that failure to take such action would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Laws. The provisions of this Section 8.2(f) shall also apply to any material change to any Company Acquisition Proposal or Intervening Event and require a new written notice, except that the references to four Business Days shall be deemed to be two Business Days.

(g) Nothing contained in this Agreement shall prohibit the Company Board from taking and disclosing to their stockholders a position contemplated by Rule 14e-2(a) promulgated under the Exchange Act or making a statement contemplated by Item 1012(a) of Regulation M-A or Rule 14d-9 promulgated under the Exchange Act; provided, however, that this Section 8.2(g) shall not permit the Company Board to effect a Company Adverse Recommendation Change except to the extent otherwise permitted by this Section 8.2; provided, further, that a request by Parent for the Company to publicly recommend against a Company Acquisition Proposal may not be made more than once with respect to any Company Acquisition Proposal unless such Company Acquisition Proposal is subsequently materially amended or modified, in which case Parent may make one request each time such Company Acquisition Proposal is so subsequently materially amended or modified. For the avoidance of doubt, any “stop, look and listen” communication or similar communication of the type contemplated by Rule 14d-9(f) under the Exchange Act shall not constitute a Company Adverse Recommendation Change so long as any such disclosure does not include a Company Board Recommendation Change.

Section 8.3 Public Announcements. So long as this Agreement is in effect, neither Parent nor the Company, nor any of their respective Affiliates, shall issue or cause the publication of any press release or other public statement relating to the Offer, the Merger or this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other Party, unless such Party determines,

67

and/or the Equity Commitment Letter from the same and/or alternative Debt Financing Sources and/or Equity Financing Sources so long as such substitute financing would not materially and adversely impact the ability of Parent and Purchaser to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement on a timely basis.

(ii) Each of Parent and Purchaser shall use its reasonable best efforts (A) to maintain in effect the Debt Commitment Letter and the Equity Commitment Letter (except to the extent replaced in accordance with Section 8.11(a), (B) to enter into definitive agreements with respect to the Debt Commitment Letter and the Equity Commitment Letter consistent in all material respects with the terms and conditions (including the flex provisions and taking into account the Marketing Period) contained in the Debt Commitment Letter and the Equity Commitment Letter (or on terms no less favorable (taken as a whole) to Parent and Purchaser than the terms and conditions (including flex provisions) in the Debt Commitment Letter and the Equity Commitment Letter), (C) to satisfy (or obtain the waiver of) on a timely basis all conditions precedent to funding in the Debt Commitment Letter and the Equity Commitment Letter and such definitive agreements thereto (taking into account the Marketing Period and other than any condition where the failure to be so satisfied is a direct result of the Company’s failure to furnish information described in Section 8.11(b)) that are within Parent’s control so as to consummate the Transaction Financing at or prior to the Acceptance Time and (D) to enforce its rights under the Debt Commitment Letter and the Equity Commitment Letter and such definitive agreements thereto. Parent shall keep the Company reasonably informed on a current basis and in reasonable detail of the status of its efforts to arrange the Transaction Financing and provide to the Company copies of the material definitive agreements for the Transaction Financing. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Parent shall give the Company prompt notice (x) of any material breach or default by any party to any of the Debt Commitment Letter or the Equity Commitment Letter or definitive agreements related to the Transaction Financing of which Parent becomes aware, (y) of the receipt of (I) any written notice or (II) other written communication, in each case from any Debt Financing Source or Equity Financing Source with respect to any actual or potential material breach, default, termination or repudiation by any party to any of the Debt Commitment Letter or the Equity Commitment Letter or definitive agreements related to the Transaction Financing of any provisions of the Debt Commitment Letter or the Equity Commitment Letter or definitive agreements related to the Transaction Financing, and (z) if at any time for any reason Parent believes in good faith that it will not be able to obtain all or any portion of the Transaction Financing on the terms and conditions, in the manner or from the sources contemplated by any of the Debt Commitment Letter and the Equity Commitment Letter or definitive agreements related to the Transaction Financing. As soon as reasonably practicable after any notice by Parent to the Company of the type described in the immediately preceding sentence, but in any event within two Business Days of the date the Company delivers to Parent a written request, Parent shall use reasonable best efforts to provide any information reasonably requested by the Company relating to any circumstance referred to in clause (x), (y) or (z) of the immediately preceding sentence; provided that Parent need not provide any information the disclosure of which could result in the loss of attorney-client privilege or that is requested for purposes of litigation.

If all or any portion of the Transaction Financing becomes unavailable for any reason, and such portion is reasonably required to pay the aggregate Offer Consideration and Merger Consideration, repay the Retired Debt and pay all fees, expenses and other amounts contemplated to be paid by Parent, Purchaser and the Surviving Corporation pursuant to this Agreement, Parent, Purchaser and the Surviving Corporation shall use their reasonable best efforts to arrange and obtain in replacement thereof alternative debt and/or equity Transaction Financing from alternative sources in an amount sufficient, when taken together with available cash of Parent and any then-available Transaction Financing pursuant to the Debt Commitment Letter and the Equity Commitment Letter, to consummate the Offer and the Merger, with such alternative Transaction Debt Financing or Transaction Equity Financing having terms and conditions not materially less favorable (taken as a whole) to Parent and Purchaser than the terms and conditions (taken as a whole) set forth in the Debt Commitment Letter and the Equity Commitment Letter, as promptly as reasonably practicable following the occurrence of such event. Parent shall deliver to the Company true and complete copies of all commitment letters and fee letters (as redacted in a customary manner to remove the fee amounts, pricing caps, the rates and amounts included in the “market flex” and certain other terms (none of which could reasonably be expected to adversely affect the conditionality, enforceability, termination or aggregate principal amount of the Transaction Financing)) pursuant to which any such alternative source shall have committed to provide any portion of the Transaction Financing.

None of the representations, warranties covenants and agreements in this Agreement, or in any schedule, certificate, instrument or other document delivered pursuant to this Agreement, shall survive the Effective Time or, except as provided in Section 10.2, the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.1, as the case may be. This Section 11.1 shall not limit any covenant or agreement of the Parties which by its terms contemplates performance after the Effective Time.

Section 11.2 Amendment and Modification. Subject to applicable Law, this Agreement may be amended, modified or supplemented in any and all respects by written agreement of the Parties at any time prior to the Acceptance Time with respect to any of the terms contained herein; provided, however, that Section 8.11 (Financing); this Section 11.2 (Amendment and

76

Modification); Section 11.8 (Entire Agreement; No Third Party Beneficiaries); Section 11.11 (Governing Law); Sections 11.12(a) and (c) (Enforcement; Exclusive Jurisdiction); Section 11.13 (Waiver of Jury Trial) and Section 11.14 (Financing Sources) (and any provision of this Agreement to the extent an amendment, modification, waiver or termination of such provision would modify the substance of any such Section) shall not be amended in a manner that is adverse to any Debt Financing Source without the prior written consent of each Debt Financing Source signatory to the Debt Commitment Letter or that is adverse to any Equity Financing Source signatory to the Equity Commitment Letter without the prior written consent of such Equity Financing Source.

Section 11.3 Extension; Waiver. At any time prior to the Effective Time, subject to applicable Law, Parent or Purchaser on the one hand, or the Company on the other hand, may (a) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the other Parties, (b) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or in any document delivered pursuant to this Agreement of the other Parties or (c) waive compliance by the other Parties with any of the agreements or conditions contained in this Agreement. Any agreement on the part of a Party to any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed on behalf of such Party. The failure of any Party to assert any of its rights under this Agreement or otherwise shall not constitute a waiver of such rights, nor shall any single or partial exercise by any Party of any of its rights under this Agreement preclude any other or further exercise of such rights or any other rights under this Agreement. The Parties acknowledge and agree that Parent shall act on behalf of Purchaser and the Company may rely on any notice given by Parent on behalf of Purchaser with respect to the matters set forth in this Section 11.3.

Section 11.4 Expenses. Except as otherwise provided herein, all costs and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement shall be paid by the Party incurring such cost or expense. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Parent shall pay any and all fees and expenses, other than the Company’s attorneys’ fees, incurred in connection with the filing by the Parties of the premerger notification and report forms relating to the Offer and the Merger under the HSR Act and the filing of any notice of other document under any applicable foreign Competition Law.

Section 11.5 Company Disclosure Letter References. All capitalized terms not defined in the Company Disclosure Letter shall have the meanings assigned to them in this Agreement. The Company Disclosure Letter shall, for all purposes in this Agreement, be arranged in numbered and lettered parts and subparts corresponding to the numbered and lettered sections and subsections contained in this Agreement. Each item disclosed in the Company Disclosure Letter shall constitute an exception to or, as applicable, disclosure for the purposes of, the representations and warranties (or covenants, as applicable) to which it makes express reference and shall also be deemed to be disclosed or set forth for the purposes of every other part in the Company Disclosure Letter relating to the Company’s representations and warranties (or covenants, as applicable) set forth in this Agreement to the extent a cross-reference within the Company Disclosure Letter is expressly made to such other part in the Company Disclosure Letter, as well as to the extent that the relevance of such item as an exception to or, as applicable, disclosure for purposes of, such other section of this Agreement is reasonably apparent from the face of such disclosure. The listing of any matter on the Company Disclosure Letter shall not be

77

deemed to constitute an admission by the Company, or to otherwise imply, that any such matter is material, is required to be disclosed by the Company under this Agreement or falls within relevant minimum thresholds or materiality standards set forth in this Agreement. No disclosure in the Company Disclosure Letter relating to any possible breach or violation by the Company of any Contract or Law shall be construed as an admission or indication that any such breach or violation exists or has actually occurred. In no event shall the listing of any matter in the Company Disclosure Letter be deemed or interpreted to expand the scope of the Company’s representations, warranties, covenants or agreements set forth in this Agreement.

Section 11.6 Notices. All notices and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed given if delivered personally, by email (with confirmation of receipt) or sent by a nationally recognized overnight courier service, such as Federal Express, to the Parties at the following addresses (or at such other address for a Party as shall be specified by like notice made pursuant to this Section 11.6):

Section 11.7 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement, it being understood that each Party need not sign the same counterpart. This Agreement shall become effective when each Party shall have received a counterpart hereof signed by all of the other Parties. Signatures delivered electronically or by facsimile shall be deemed to be original signatures.

Section 11.8 Entire Agreement; No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement (including the Exhibits hereto and the documents and the instruments referred to herein), the Company Disclosure Letter and the Confidentiality Agreement (a) constitute the entire agreement and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, between Parent and the Company and among the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof (provided that (x) any provisions of the Confidentiality Agreement conflicting with this Agreement shall be superseded by this Agreement and (y) all standstill or similar provisions set forth in the Confidentiality Agreement shall terminate and no longer be in effect upon execution and delivery hereof) and (b) are not intended to confer any rights, benefits, remedies, obligations or liabilities upon any Person other than the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns, except for the rights of the Company to pursue, on behalf of the holders of Company Stock, damages (including damages incurred or suffered by the holders of Company Stock in the event such holders of Company Stock would not receive the benefit of the bargain negotiated by the Company on their behalf as set forth in this Agreement) in the event of Parent’s or Purchaser’s breach of this Agreement, and the rights of the holders of Company Stock to (i) following the Acceptance Time, receive the Offer Consideration in accordance with Article II and (ii) following the Effective Time, receive the Merger Consideration in accordance with Article III; provided that notwithstanding the foregoing, following the Effective Time, the provisions of Section 7.2 shall be enforceable by each Company Indemnified Party hereunder and his or her heirs and his or her representatives. The Financing Sources shall be a third party beneficiary of Section 8.11 (Financing); Section 11.2 (Amendment and Modification); this Section 11.8 (Entire Agreement; No Third Party Beneficiaries); Section 11.11 (Governing Law); Sections 11.12(a) and (c) (Enforcement; Exclusive Jurisdiction); Section 11.13 (Waiver of Jury Trial); and Section 11.14 (Financing Sources).

Section 11.9 Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction or other authority to be invalid, void, unenforceable or against its regulatory policy, the remainder of the terms and provisions 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 and legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby, taken as a whole, are not affected in a 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 an acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.

79

Section 11.10 Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder shall be assigned by any of the Parties in whole or in part (whether by operation of Law or otherwise) without the prior written consent of the other Parties, and any such assignment without such consent shall be null and void, provided, however, the Parent and the Purchaser may assign this agreement without the prior written consent of the other Parties to any of the Debt Financing Sources for purposes of creating a security interest herein or otherwise assigning collateral in respect of the Transaction Debt Financing, provided, further, however, that no such assignment shall relieve Parent or Purchaser of their respective obligations under this Agreement. This Agreement shall be binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

Section 11.11 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the Laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to conflicts of laws principles that would result in the application of the Law of any other state. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each Party to this Agreement acknowledges and irrevocably agrees that any action or proceeding, whether in contract or tort, at law or in equity or otherwise, against any Financing Source arising out of, or relating to, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including the Transaction Financing) and the performance thereof shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York.

Section 11.12 Enforcement; Exclusive Jurisdiction.

(a) The rights and remedies of the Parties shall be cumulative with and not exclusive of any other remedy conferred hereby. The Parties agree that irreparable damage would occur and that the Parties would not have any adequate remedy at law in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that, subject to the limitations in Section 10.3(d), the Parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement, including the obligations to consummate the Offer and the Merger, in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or, if under applicable Law exclusive jurisdiction over such matter is vested in the federal courts, any federal court located in the State of Delaware without proof of actual damages or otherwise (and each Party hereby waives any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with such remedy), this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. The Parties’ rights in this Section 11.12 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated hereby and each Party hereby waives any objections to any remedy referred to in this Section 11.12.

(b) In addition, each of the Parties (i) consents to submit itself, and hereby submits itself, to the personal jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware and any federal court located in the State of Delaware, or, if neither of such courts has subject matter jurisdiction, any state court of the State of Delaware having subject matter jurisdiction, in the event any dispute arises out of this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (ii) agrees that it will not attempt to deny or defeat such personal jurisdiction by motion or other request for leave from any such court, and agrees not to plead or claim any objection to the laying of venue in any such court or that any judicial proceeding in any such

80

court has been brought in an inconvenient forum, (iii) agrees that it will not bring any action relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in any court other than the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware and any federal court located in the State of Delaware, or, if neither of such courts has subject matter jurisdiction, any state court of the State of Delaware having subject matter jurisdiction, and (iv) consents to service of process being made through the notice procedures set forth in Section 11.6.

(c) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each Party to this Agreement acknowledges and irrevocably agrees that any action or proceeding, whether in contract or tort, at law or in equity or otherwise, against any Financing Source arising out of, or relating to, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including the Transaction Financing) shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York, or if under applicable Law exclusive jurisdiction is vested in the federal courts, the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York in the Borough of Manhattan (and the appellate courts thereof) and each party to this Agreement submits for itself and its property with respect to any such action or proceeding to the exclusive jurisdiction of such court and agrees not to bring any such action or proceeding in any other court.

Section 11.13 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH OF THE PARTIES HEREBY KNOWINGLY, INTENTIONALLY AND VOLUNTARILY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE TRANSACTION FINANCING OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY AND THEREBY, INCLUDING ANY LEGAL PROCEEDINGS AGAINST ANY FINANCING SOURCE.

Section 11.14 Financing Sources. Subject to the rights of the parties to the Commitment Letters under the terms thereof, none of the Parties, nor or any of their respective Affiliates, solely in their respective capacities as Parties to this Agreement, shall have any rights against any Financing Source, solely in their respective capacities as lenders or arrangers or investors in connection with the Transaction Financing. For the avoidance of doubt, subject to the rights of Parent under the Commitment Letters under the terms thereof, none of the Financing Sources, nor or any of the respective Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, agents and Representatives, and no past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, member, partner, stockholder, agent, attorney or Representative of any such Financing Source shall have any liability for any obligations or liabilities of any Party hereto under this Agreement based on, in respect of, or by reason of (or in any way relating to), the transactions contemplated hereby, including any dispute arising out of or relating in any way to the Commitment Letters, the transactions contemplated thereby or the performance thereof.

(b) any waiting period (and extension thereof) under the HSR Act relating to the transactions contemplated by the Agreement shall not have expired or been terminated;

(c) a Law or Order (whether temporary, preliminary or permanent) shall have been promulgated, entered, enforced, enacted or issued or be applicable to the Offer or the Merger by any Governmental Authority that prohibits or makes illegal the consummation of the Offer or the Merger;

(d) any of the following shall have occurred and continue to exist as of immediately prior to the expiration of the Offer:

(i) the representations and warranties of the Company set forth in Sections 4.5(a) and 4.5(b) shall not be true and correct (except for de minimis inaccuracies) at and as of the date of this Agreement and at and as of the Acceptance Time as if made at and as of the Acceptance Time (except to the extent any such representation or warranty expressly relates to an earlier date or period, in which case as of such date or period);

(ii) the representations and warranties of the Company set forth in Section 4.10(a) shall not be true and correct at and as of the date of this Agreement;

A-1

(iii) the representations and warranties of the Company set forth in Sections 4.2 and 4.24 shall not be true and correct in all material respects at and as of the date of this Agreement and at and as of the Acceptance Time as if made at and as of the Acceptance Time (except to the extent any such representation or warranty expressly relates to an earlier date or period, in which case as of such date or period);

(iv) the representations and warranties of the Company contained in the Agreement (other than those set forth in Sections 4.5(a), 4.5(b), 4.10(a), 4.2 and 4.24 shall not be true and correct in all respects (disregarding all materiality and “Company Material Adverse Effect” qualifiers contained therein), in each case at and as of the date of this Agreement and at and as of the Acceptance Time as if made at and as of the Acceptance Time (except representations and warranties that by their terms speak specifically as of another specified time, in which case as of such time), except where the failure of such representations and warranties to be so true and correct has not had and would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Company Material Adverse Effect;

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