Item 1.01 Entry Into A Material Definitive Agreement.

          On September 11, 2011, NetLogic Microsystems, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“NetLogic Microsystems”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Broadcom Corporation, a California corporation (“Broadcom”), and I&N Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Broadcom (“Merger Sub”). The Merger Agreement provides that, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein, Merger Sub will merge with and into NetLogic Microsystems (the “Merger”), with NetLogic Microsystems as the surviving corporation. As a result of the Merger, NetLogic Microsystems will become a subsidiary of Broadcom.

          Under the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger, each issued and outstanding share of NetLogic Microsystems common stock (other than (i) shares held by Broadcom, NetLogic Microsystems or any of their respective wholly owned subsidiaries and (ii) shares held by NetLogic Microsystems stockholders who perfect their appraisal rights) will be converted into the right to receive $50.00 in cash, without interest and less any applicable withholding taxes.

          The Merger Agreement further provides for, subject to certain limited exceptions, (i) the assumption of all in-the-money options to acquire NetLogic Microsystems common stock outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger held by NetLogic Microsystems employees, (ii) the cash-out of all in-the-money stock options held by non-employees, (iii) the conversion of all unvested restricted stock units held by NetLogic Microsystems employees into Broadcom restricted stock units and (iv) the cash-out of all unvested restricted stock units held by persons other than NetLogic Microsystems employees.

          NetLogic Microsystems has made customary representations, warranties and covenants in the Merger Agreement, including, without limitation, covenants not to solicit alternative transactions or, subject to certain exceptions, not to enter into discussions concerning, or provide confidential information in connection with, an alternative transaction, covenants to provide required information to regulatory agencies and to provide other requested cooperation and assistance in connection with the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated by it. Broadcom also has made customary representations, warranties and covenants in the Merger Agreement.

          Consummation of the Merger is subject to customary conditions, including adoption of the Merger Agreement by NetLogic Microsystems stockholders and the expiration or termination of the waiting period under the United States Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, clearance by the Chinese Ministry of Commerce (MOFCOM) under the Chinese Antimonopoly Law and clearance or no-jurisdiction decision by the Taiwanese Fair Trade Commission (TFTC) under the Taiwanese Fair Trade Law of 1991, as amended.

          Consummation of the Merger is also subject to other customary conditions, including (i) the absence of any law or order prohibiting or restraining the Merger, (ii) no effect that has or would reasonably expect to have a material adverse effect on NetLogic Microsystems and its subsidiaries, (iii) subject to certain exceptions, the accuracy of Broadcom’s and NetLogic Microsystems’ respective representations and warranties in the Merger Agreement, (iv) performance by Broadcom and NetLogic Microsystems of their respective obligations in the Merger Agreement and (v) the absence of certain pending or threatened governmental litigation with respect to the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement.

          The Merger Agreement contains certain termination rights for Broadcom and NetLogic Microsystems, and further provides that, upon termination of the Merger Agreement under certain specified circumstances, NetLogic Microsystems will be obliged to pay Broadcom a termination fee of $127 million.

          The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Merger Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 2.1 hereto, and is incorporated herein by reference. The Merger Agreement and this summary are not intended to modify or supplement any factual disclosures about NetLogic Microsystems or Broadcom, and should not be relied upon as disclosure about NetLogic Microsytems or Broadcom without consideration of the periodic and current reports and statements that NetLogic Microsystems or Broadcom file with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The terms of the Merger Agreement govern the contractual rights and relationships, and allocate risks, among the parties in relation to the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. In particular, the representations and warranties made by the parties to each other in the Merger Agreement reflect negotiations between, and are solely for the benefit of, the parties thereto and may be limited or modified by a variety of factors, including: subsequent events, information included in public filings, disclosures made during negotiations, correspondence between the parties and disclosure schedules to the Merger Agreement. Accordingly, the representations and warranties may not describe the actual state of affairs at the date they were made or at any other time and you should not rely on them as statements of fact.

Item 3.03 Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders

          On September 11, 2011, the board of directors of NetLogic Microsystems authorized and approved a First Amendment to Rights Agreement entered into between the NetLogic Microsystems and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Rights Agent (the “First Amendment”), which became effective on September 11, 2011. The First Amendment amended the Rights Agreement entered into between the Company and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Rights Agent on July 7, 2004 (the “Rights Agreement”). The First Amendment was entered into with respect to the Merger Agreement. The purpose of the First Amendment is to ensure that neither the approval, execution, delivery or performance of the Merger Agreement, the public disclosure of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, nor the consummation of the Merger or any of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, will cause Broadcom, Merger Sub, or any of their “Affiliates” or “Associates” (as each such term is defined in the Rights Agreement) to become an “Acquiring Person” (as defined in the Rights Agreement) or to otherwise give rise to a “Shares Acquisition Date” or “Distribution Date,” or trigger the Rights (as each such term is defined in the Rights Agreement). The First Amendment is set forth in full in Exhibit 1 to the NetLogic Microsystems’ Amendment No. 1 on Form 8-A/A filed with the SEC on September 12, 2011, which is incorporated by reference in response to this item.

Item 8.01

          On September 12, 2011, NetLogic Microsystems and Broadcom issued a press release relating to the execution of the Merger Agreement. The full text of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this report and is incorporated by reference in response to this Item 8.01.

     On September 12, 2011 the following communications with respect to the proposed Merger were made:

• Mr. Ronald S. Jankov, NetLogic Microsystems’ President and Chief Executive Officer, sent an email to the employees of NetLogic Microsystems;

• Scott A. McGregor, Broadcom’s President and Chief Executive Officer, sent an email to NetLogic Microsystems employees;

• a conference call was conducted with analysts and investors to discuss the proposed Merger and a slide presentation was provided for attendees during the presentation;

• meetings were held with NetLogic Microsystems employees and slides were presented during the meetings;

• a letter was sent by NetLogic Microsystems to customers and business partners.

     The full text of the emails, slides, and customer letter are attached as Exhibits 99.2-99.6, respectively, to this report and are hereby incorporated by reference herein.

Cautions Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

All statements included or incorporated by reference in this Current Report on Form 8-K (including the exhibits thereto), other than statements or characterizations of historical fact, are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws, including the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements are based on our current expectations, estimates and projections about our industry and business, management’s beliefs, and certain assumptions made by us, all of which are subject to change. Examples of such forward looking statements include, but are not limited to, the expected closing date of the transaction, the potential benefits of the transaction, any statements of plans, strategies, objectives, any statements of expectation or belief. Forward-looking statements are based on certain assumptions and expectations of future events that are subject to risks

3

and uncertainties. Such statements are made in reliance upon the safe harbor provisions of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.. These factors include, but are not limited to, the following: the possibility that the acquisition may not be completed; regulatory approvals that might be required for the transaction might not be obtained on the terms expected and obtaining any such approvals or any other necessary regulatory reviews may not occur on the anticipated schedule; the parties’ ability to meet expectations regarding the timing and completion of the transaction; as well as other factors concerning NetLogic Microsystems (which may be applicable to the combined company following the transaction) discussed in “Risk Factors” under Item 1A. of NetLogic Microsystems’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the most recently ended fiscal year and its other filings from time to time with the SEC, which are available at http://www.sec.gov. All forward-looking statements in this release are qualified in their entirety by this cautionary statement, and no person undertakes any obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statement for any reason, except as required by law, even as new information becomes available or other events occur in the future. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements that speak only as of the date hereof.

Additional information about the Merger and Where to Find It

In connection with the proposed transaction, NetLogic Microsystems intends to file a definitive proxy statement and other relevant materials with the SEC. Before making any voting decision with respect to the proposed transaction, stockholders of NetLogic Microsystems are urged to read the proxy statement and other relevant materials because these materials will contain important information about the proposed transaction. The proxy statement and other relevant materials, and any other documents to be filed by NetLogic Microsystems with the SEC, may be obtained free of charge at the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov or from NetLogic Microsystems’ website at www.netlogicmicro.com or by contacting NetLogic Microsystems Investor Relations at: investors@netlogicmicro.com. Investors and security holders of NetLogic Microsystems are urged to read the proxy statement and the other relevant materials when they become available before making any voting or investment decision with respect to the proposed merger because they will contain important information about the merger and the parties to the merger.

NetLogic Microsystems and Broadcom and each of their respective executive officers, directors and other members of their management and employees, under SEC rules, may be deemed to be participants in the solicitation of proxies from NetLogic Microsystems’s stockholders in favor of the proposed transaction. A list of the names of NetLogic Microsystems’s executive officers and directors and a description of their respective interests in NetLogic Microsystems are set forth in NetLogic Microsystems’s annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010, the proxy statement for NetLogic Microsystems’s 2011 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and the proxy statement and other relevant materials filed with the SEC in connection with the merger when they become available. Certain executive officers and directors of NetLogic Microsystems have interests in the proposed transaction that may differ from the interests of stockholders generally, including benefits conferred under retention, severance and change in control arrangements and continuation of director and officer insurance and indemnification. These interests and any additional benefits in connection with the proposed transaction will be described in the proxy statement relating to the merger when it becomes available. Investors and security holders may obtain more detailed information regarding the names, affiliations and interests of certain of Broadcom’s executive officers and directors by reading Broadcom’s proxy statement for its 2011 Annual Meeting of Shareholders.

AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER

          This AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of September 11, 2011, by and among Broadcom Corporation, a California corporation (“Parent”), I&N Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation and direct wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), and NetLogic Microsystems, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”). Certain terms used in this Agreement are defined in Section 8.4.

RECITALS

          A. WHEREAS, the respective boards of directors of each of Merger Sub and the Company have approved and declared advisable, and Parent’s board of directors has approved, this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, including the merger of Merger Sub with and into the Company (the “Merger”), upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement and in accordance with the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (“Delaware Law”);

          B. WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Company has unanimously resolved to recommend to its stockholders the adoption of this Agreement;

          C. WHEREAS, as an inducement to Parent’s willingness to enter into this Agreement, certain of the Key Employees (as defined herein) have entered into offer letter agreements with Parent;

          D. WHEREAS, Parent has required, as a condition to its willingness to enter into this Agreement, that the Board of Directors of the Company exempt, and the Board of Directors of the Company has so exempted, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby from the Rights Agreement dated as of July 7, 2004 (the “Rights Agreement”), by and between the Company and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as rights agent;

          E. WHEREAS, Parent, as the sole stockholder of Merger Sub, has approved and adopted this Agreement and approved the Merger; and

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

          NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the covenants, promises and representations set forth herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

THE MERGER

          1.1 The Merger. At the Effective Time and subject to and upon the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the applicable provisions of Delaware Law, Merger Sub shall be merged with and into the Company, the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub shall

cease and the Company shall continue as the surviving corporation and as a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent. The surviving corporation after the Merger is hereinafter sometimes referred to as the “Surviving Corporation”.

          1.2 Effective Time; Merger Closing. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, the parties hereto shall cause the Merger to be consummated by filing a Certificate of Merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware in accordance with the relevant provisions of Delaware Law (the “Certificate of Merger”) (the time of such filing with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (or such later time as may be agreed in writing by the Company and Parent and specified in the Certificate of Merger) being the “Effective Time”) as soon as practicable on the Merger Closing Date. The closing of the Merger (the “Merger Closing”) shall take place at the offices of Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom, LLP, located at 525 University Avenue, Suite 1100, Palo Alto, California, at a time and date to be specified by the parties, which shall be no later than the second (2^nd) Business Day after the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Article VI (other than those that by their terms are to be satisfied or waived at the Merger Closing, each of which shall be capable of being satisfied at the Merger Closing) (the “Normal Closing Due Date”), or at such other time, date and location as the parties hereto agree in writing. The date on which the Merger Closing occurs is referred to herein as the “Merger Closing Date”. “Business Day” shall mean each day that is not a Saturday, Sunday or other day on which banking institutions located in Irvine, California are authorized or obligated by any Law or executive order to close or a United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) holiday. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything in Section 5.6 to the contrary, Parent shall have the option, in its sole and absolute discretion, by giving written notice to the Company on or before the Normal Closing Due Date, to defer the date of the Merger Closing:

               (i) if the Normal Closing Due Date is on or before fifteen (15) Business Days after the Company’s filing with the SEC of its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2011, then Parent may thereby defer the Merger Closing to any Business Day until and including the sixteenth (16^th) Business Day after the Company makes such filing;

               (ii) if the Normal Closing Due Date is between December 10, 2011 and January 1, 2012, then Parent may thereby defer the Merger Closing to any Business Day until and including January 3, 2012; or

               (iii) if the Normal Closing Due Date is after February 16, 2012 and the Company has not already filed with the SEC its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011, then Parent may thereby defer the Merger Closing to any Business Day until and including the first Business Day after the Company’s filing with the SEC of its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011;

provided that, solely for purposes determining whether the closing conditions in Section 6.2(a) or Section 6.2(c) have been satisfied, the Merger Closing Date shall be deemed to be the Normal Closing Due Date.

2

          1.3 Effect of the Merger. At the Effective Time, the effect of the Merger shall be as provided in this Agreement, the Certificate of Merger and the applicable provisions of Delaware Law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and subject thereto, at the Effective Time all the property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of the Company and Merger Sub shall vest in the Surviving Corporation, and all debts, liabilities and duties of the Company and Merger Sub shall become the debts, liabilities and duties of the Surviving Corporation.

          1.4 Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws. At the Effective Time, the Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company as in effect on the date hereof (as may be further amended, supplemented or modified as permitted hereby, the “Certificate of Incorporation”) shall be amended and restated in its entirety to be identical to the Certificate of Incorporation of Merger Sub, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, until thereafter amended in accordance with Delaware Law and as provided in such Certificate of Incorporation; provided that at the Effective Time, Article I of the Certificate of Incorporation of the Surviving Corporation shall be amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows: “The name of the corporation is NetLogic Microsystems, Inc.” At the Effective Time, the Amended and Restated Bylaws of the Company as in effect on the date hereof (as may be further amended, supplemented or modified as permitted hereby, the “Bylaws”) shall be amended and restated in their entirety to be identical to the Bylaws of Merger Sub, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, until thereafter amended in accordance with Delaware Law and as provided in the Bylaws; provided that at the Effective Time, the title of the Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation shall be amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows: “Bylaws of NetLogic Microsystems, Inc.”

          1.5 Directors and Officers. Unless otherwise determined by Parent prior to the Effective Time, the initial directors of the Surviving Corporation shall be the directors of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time, until the earliest of their death, resignation or removal or until their respective successors are duly elected or appointed and qualified. Unless otherwise determined by Parent prior to the Effective Time, the initial officers of the Surviving Corporation shall be the officers of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time, until the earliest of their death, resignation or removal or until their respective successors are duly appointed. In addition, unless otherwise determined by Parent prior to the Effective Time, the directors and officers of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the directors and officers, respectively, of each of the Company’s Subsidiaries immediately after the Effective Time, each to hold office as a director or officer of each such Subsidiary in accordance with the provisions of the Laws of the respective jurisdiction of organization and the respective bylaws or equivalent organizational documents of each such Subsidiary.

               (a) Company Common Stock. Each share of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Company Common Stock”), issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, other than any shares of Company Common Stock (the “Company Shares”) to be canceled pursuant to Section 1.6(e), will be canceled and extinguished

3

and automatically converted (subject to Section 1.7) into the right to receive an amount of cash equal to $50.00, without interest (such amount of cash hereinafter referred to as the “Merger Consideration”), to be distributed in the manner provided in Section 1.8 (or in the case of a lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, upon delivery of an affidavit (and bond, if required in Parent’s sole and absolute discretion) in the manner provided in Section 1.10).

               (b) Company Options and Company RSUs.

               (i) Terminating Company Options. At the Effective Time, each Company Option that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether or not vested as of the Effective Time, and that (A) is held by any Person who is not as of immediately prior to the Effective Time an employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and that has a per share exercise price less than the Merger Consideration (each such Company Option, a “Non-Employee Option”), (B) is held by an employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries which employee is a permanent resident of the People’s Republic of China (each such employee, a “PRC Employee” and each such Company Option, a “PRC Employee Option”)or (C) has a per share exercise price equal to or greater than the Merger Consideration, (each, an “Out-of-the-Money Option” and together with the Non-Employee Options and the PRC Employee Options, the “Terminating Options”), shall, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, terminate in its entirety at the Effective Time, and the holder of each Terminating Option shall be entitled to receive therefor an amount of cash, denominated in either United States dollars or with respect any PRC Employee, in the Company’s discretion, Chinese yuan (rounded down to the nearest whole cent or fen, as applicable), if any, equal to the product of (X) the number of shares of Company Common Stock issuable upon the exercise in full of such Company Option multiplied by (Y) the excess, if any, of the Merger Consideration over the exercise price of such Company Option. For the avoidance of doubt, each Out-of-the-Money Option that is unexpired, unexercised and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall terminate in its entirety at the Effective Time and the holder thereof shall not be entitled to receive any consideration pursuant to this Agreement.

               (ii) Assumption of Certain Employee Stock Options. At the Effective Time, each Company Option that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time other than Terminating Options shall be assumed by Parent and converted automatically at the Effective Time into an option denominated in Parent Class A Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Parent Common Stock”) having substantially similar terms and conditions as the Company Option (each, an “Assumed Option”), except that (A) each such Assumed Option will be exercisable (or will become exercisable in accordance with its terms) for that number of whole shares of Parent Common Stock equal to the product of (X) the number of shares of Company Common Stock that were issuable upon exercise of such Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time, multiplied by (Y) a fraction (such ratio, the “Option Ratio”), the numerator of which is the Merger Consideration and the denominator of which is

4

the volume weighted average price for a share of Parent Common Stock for the five (5) trading days immediately prior to (and excluding) the Merger Closing Date as reported by Bloomberg, L.P., and rounding such product down to the nearest whole number of shares of Parent Common Stock, and (B) the per share exercise price for the shares of Parent Common Stock issuable upon exercise of such Assumed Option will be equal to the quotient determined by dividing (1) the exercise price per share of Company Common Stock at which such Company Option was exercisable immediately prior to the Effective Time by (2) the Option Ratio, and rounding such quotient up to the nearest whole cent. The Company will not take any action to accelerate the vesting of any Company Options (other than to implement any existing agreements or arrangements for such acceleration in effect as of the date of this Agreement). As soon as reasonably practicable, Parent will use all reasonable best efforts to issue to each Person who holds an Assumed Option a document evidencing the foregoing assumption of such Company Option by Parent.

               (iii) Terminating Company RSUs. At the Effective Time, each Company RSU that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and that is held by any Person who is not as of immediately prior to the Effective Time an employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (each such Company RSU, a “Terminating RSU”) shall, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, terminate in its entirety at the Effective Time, and the holder of each Terminating RSU shall be entitled to receive therefor an amount of cash (rounded down to the nearest whole cent) equal to the product of (A) the unissued number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Company RSU immediately prior to the Effective Time, multiplied by (B) the Merger Consideration.

               (iv) PRC Employee RSUs. At the Effective Time, each Company RSU that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and that is held by a PRC Employee shall, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, terminate in its entirety at the Effective Time (“Cancelled RSUs”). Promptly following the Effective Time, the Company shall grant to each PRC Employee a new restricted stock unit of the Company that is economically equivalent to the Cancelled RSUs held by each such PRC Employee.

               (v) Assumption of Employee RSUs. At the Effective Time each Company RSU that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time other than Terminating RSUs and Cancelled RSUs shall be assumed by Parent and converted automatically at the Effective Time into a restricted stock unit denominated in Parent Common Stock having substantially similar terms and conditions as the Company RSU (each, an “Assumed RSU”), except that upon vesting, each such Company RSU will entitle the holder to that number of whole shares of the Parent Common Stock equal to the product of (X) the number of shares of Company Common Stock that were issuable with regard to such Company RSU immediately prior to the Effective Time, multiplied by (Y) the Option Ratio, and rounding such product down to the nearest whole number of

5

shares of Parent Common Stock. The Company will not take any action to accelerate the vesting of any Company RSU (other than to implement any existing agreements or arrangements for such acceleration in effect as of the date of this Agreement). As soon as reasonably practicable, Parent will issue to each Person who holds an assumed Company RSU a document evidencing the foregoing assumption of such Company RSU by Parent.

               (vi) The Company shall take all steps necessary prior to the Effective Time to cause the Company Options and Company RSUs to be treated as set forth in this Section 1.6, including providing any necessary notices and obtaining any necessary consents or waivers and making any necessary amendments to the Company Stock Plans and related agreements. The Company represents and warrants that copies of the relevant agreements governing all Company Options and Company RSUs have been made available to Parent.

               (c) Section 409A of the Code. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 1.6 or otherwise in this Agreement to the contrary, the conversion of Company Options and Company RSUs provided for in this Section 1.6 shall be effected in a manner consistent with Section 409A of the Code.

               (d) Registration. Parent shall file a registration statement on Form S-8 or on Form S-3 or such other available form (for those awards which are not eligible for registration on Form S-8 and with respect to which no exemption is available) for the shares of Parent Common Stock issuable with respect to the Assumed Options and the Assumed RSUs concurrent with the first Form 10-Q or Form 10-K filed by Parent with the SEC following the Effective Time, and shall exercise reasonable best efforts to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statements for so long as any of such Assumed Options and Assumed RSUs remain outstanding.

               (e) Cancellation of Treasury and Parent or Merger Sub Owned Stock. Each share of Company Common Stock held by the Company, Parent, Merger Sub or any direct or indirect wholly owned Subsidiary of the Company or of Parent immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be canceled and extinguished without any conversion thereof and no cash shall be delivered in exchange therefor.

               (f) Capital Stock of Merger Sub. Each share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of Merger Sub (the “Merger Sub Common Stock”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall at the Effective Time be converted into one validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Surviving Corporation. After the Effective Time, each certificate, if any, evidencing ownership of shares of Merger Sub Common Stock shall evidence ownership of such shares of capital stock of the Surviving Corporation.

               (g) Adjustments to Merger Consideration. The Merger Consideration shall be adjusted to reflect fully the appropriate effect of any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend or distribution (including any dividend or distribution of securities convertible into Company Common Stock), reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification or other like change

6

with respect to Company Common Stock having a record date on or after the date hereof and prior to the Effective Time.

          1.7 Dissenting Shares.

               (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, other than Section 1.7(b), each Company Share held by a holder that: (i) has not voted in favor of the adoption of this Agreement or consented thereto in writing, (ii) has perfected its rights to appraisal in accordance with Section 262 of Delaware Law and (iii) as of the Effective Time, has not effectively withdrawn or lost such holder’s appraisal rights (collectively, the “Dissenting Shares”), shall not be converted into or represent a right to receive the Merger Consideration as set forth in Section 1.6, but instead shall be converted into the right to receive only such consideration as may be determined to be due to the holder thereof as provided by Delaware Law. From and after the Effective Time, a holder of Dissenting Shares shall not be entitled to exercise any of the voting rights or other rights of an equity owner of the Surviving Corporation or of a stockholder of Parent.

               (b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 1.7(a), if any holder of Company Shares who demands appraisal for such shares in accordance with Delaware Law shall effectively withdraw or lose (through failure to perfect or otherwise) such holder’s appraisal rights under Delaware Law, then, as of the later of the Effective Time and the occurrence of such event, each of such holder’s shares shall automatically be converted into and represent only the right to receive the Merger Consideration as set forth in Section 1.6, without interest thereon, subject to any withholding of Taxes required under applicable Law, upon surrender of the Certificate representing such shares or transfer of such Book-Entry Shares, as applicable.

               (c) The Company shall give Parent (i) prompt notice of any written demands for appraisal rights of any Company Shares, withdrawals of such demands, and any other instruments served pursuant to Delaware Law and received by the Company which relate to any such demand for appraisal rights and (ii) the opportunity to participate in and direct all negotiations and proceedings which take place prior to the Effective Time with respect to demands for appraisal rights under Delaware Law. The Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of Parent, voluntarily make any payment with respect to any such demands or offer to settle or settle any such demands. Any communication to be made by the Company to any holder of Company Common Stock with respect to such demands shall be submitted to Parent in advance and shall not be presented to any holder of Company Common Stock prior to the Company receiving Parent’s consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld.

          1.8 Surrender of Certificates or Transfer of Book-Entry Shares.

               (a) Paying Agent. Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall designate a national bank or trust company to act as the paying agent (the “Paying Agent”) for the payment of the Merger Consideration in respect of each share of Company Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time represented by a stock certificate (each, a “Certificate”) and each non-certificated share of Company Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time represented by book-entry (the “Book-Entry Shares”), in each instance other than

7

Dissenting Shares, in accordance with this Article I and Parent shall enter into a customary paying agent agreement with the Paying Agent.

               (b) Parent to Provide Cash. At the Effective Time, Parent shall deliver to the Paying Agent for exchange, in accordance with this Article I, cash in an amount sufficient to pay the full amount of the cash payable pursuant to Section 1.6(a) as Merger Consideration in exchange for outstanding Company Shares. Any cash deposited with the Paying Agent shall hereinafter be referred to as the “Exchange Fund”.

               (c) Exchange Procedures. Promptly after the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Paying Agent to mail to each holder of record (as of the Effective Time) of a Certificate or Book-Entry Share, whose shares were converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 1.6(a): (i) a letter of transmittal (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title shall pass, only upon delivery of the Certificates or transfer of Book-Entry Shares to the Paying Agent and shall otherwise be in customary form) and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates or Book-Entry Shares in exchange for the cash payable pursuant to Section 1.6(a) as Merger Consideration. Upon (X) surrender of Certificates for cancellation to the Paying Agent 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 Paying Agent, or (Y) receipt of an “agent’s message” by the Paying Agent (or such other evidence, if any, of transfer as the Paying Agent may reasonably request) in the case of Book-Entry Shares, the holder of record of such Certificates or Book-Entry Shares shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor, with respect to each Company Share surrendered by such holder, the cash constituting the Merger Consideration, and the Certificates so surrendered or Book-Entry Shares so transferred shall forthwith be canceled. Until so surrendered or transferred, outstanding Certificates or Book-Entry Shares, respectively, will be deemed from and after the Effective Time, for all corporate purposes, to evidence the right to receive the Merger Consideration into which each Company Share represented thereby shall have been so converted. No interest will be paid or accrue on any cash payable to holders of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares under this Agreement.

               (d) Required Withholding. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, each of the Paying Agent, Parent, Merger Sub and the Surviving Corporation shall be entitled to deduct and withhold (or cause to be deducted and withheld) from any consideration payable or otherwise deliverable pursuant to this Agreement, to any holder or former holder of Company Shares, Company Options, Company RSUs or otherwise, such amounts as may be required to be deducted or withheld therefrom under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), or any other provision or under any provision of state, local or non-United States Tax Law or under any other applicable Law. To the extent such amounts are so deducted or withheld, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction or withholding was made.

               (e) No Liability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 1.8, neither the Paying Agent, the Surviving Corporation nor any party hereto shall be liable to any Person in respect of Merger Consideration from the Exchange Fund delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar federal, state,

8

local, municipal, or non-United States law, statute, ordinance, rule, regulation, judgment, order, injunction, decree, arbitration award, agency requirement, license or permit, constitution, principle of common law, resolution, ordinance, code, edict, directive, rule, regulation, ruling, judgment or requirement issued, enacted, adopted, promulgated, implemented or otherwise put into effect by or under the authority of any Governmental Entity (collectively, “Law”).

               (f) Investment of Exchange Fund. The Paying Agent shall invest the cash included in the Exchange Fund as directed by Parent; provided that no such investment or loss thereon shall affect the amounts payable to Company stockholders pursuant to this Article I. Any interest and other income resulting from such investment shall become a part of the Exchange Fund, and any amounts in excess of the amounts payable to Company stockholders pursuant to this Article I shall promptly be paid to Parent.

               (g) Termination of Exchange Fund. Any portion of the Exchange Fund which remains undistributed to the holders of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares six (6) months after the Effective Time shall, at the request of Parent, be delivered to Parent, and any Person entitled to payment in accordance with this Article I shall be entitled to look only to Parent solely as general creditors for any cash (which shall not accrue interest) payable to such Person pursuant to Section 1.6(a) as Merger Consideration with respect to the Company Shares held by such Person.

          1.9 No Further Ownership Rights in Company Common Stock. From and after the Effective Time, the former holders of Company Shares will cease to have any rights with respect to such shares except as otherwise provided herein or by applicable Law. After the Effective Time, there shall be no further registration of transfers on the records of the Surviving Corporation of Company Shares which were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates or Book-Entry Shares are presented to the Surviving Corporation for any reason, they shall be canceled and exchanged as provided in the applicable provisions of this Article I.

          1.10 Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. In the event any Certificates shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, the Paying Agent shall issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificates, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the holder thereof, cash in an amount equal to the Merger Consideration with respect to each Company Share represented thereby; provided that Parent may, in its sole and absolute discretion and as a condition precedent to the issuance thereof, require the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificates to deliver a bond in such sum as it may reasonably direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against Parent, the Company or the Paying Agent with respect to the Certificates alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.

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

The Company is not in violation of any of the provisions of the Company Charter Documents and each of its Significant Subsidiaries is not in violation of its respective Subsidiary Charter Documents. The Company has made available to Parent complete and correct copies of the minutes (or, in the case of draft minutes, the most recent drafts thereof) of all meetings of the stockholders, the Board of Directors and each committee of the Board of Directors of the Company held since January 1, 2008.

               (a) The Company shall prepare, in consultation with Parent, and file with the SEC a preliminary proxy or information statement relating to the Merger and this Agreement (a “Proxy Statement”) promptly after the date of this Agreement and use its reasonable best efforts, in consultation with Parent, to:

               (i) obtain and furnish the information required to be included by the SEC in the preliminary Proxy Statement,

               (ii) respond promptly to any comments made by the SEC or its staff with respect to the preliminary Proxy Statement,

               (iv) promptly amend or supplement any information provided by it for use in the preliminary or definitive Proxy Statement (including any amendments or supplements thereof) if and to the extent that it shall have become false or misleading in any material respect and take all steps necessary to cause the Proxy Statement as so amended or supplemented to be filed with the SEC and to be disseminated to the Company’s stockholders, in each case as and to the extent required by applicable United States federal securities Laws, and

50

               (v) cause the preliminary and definitive Proxy Statements, on each relevant filing date, on the date of mailing to the Company’s stockholders and at the time of the Stockholders’ Meeting, not to contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading, and cause the Proxy Statement to comply as to form in all material respects with the provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall have no responsibility with respect to any information supplied by Parent or Merger Sub for inclusion or incorporation by reference in the Proxy Statement. Parent and its counsel shall be given a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on the preliminary and the definitive Proxy Statement and any amendment or supplement to the preliminary or the definitive Proxy Statement, as the case may be, each time before any such document is filed with the SEC, and the Company shall give reasonable and good faith consideration to any comments made by Parent and its counsel. The Company shall provide Parent and its counsel with (A) any comments or other communications, whether written or oral, that the Company or its counsel may receive from time to time from the SEC or its staff with respect to the Proxy Statement promptly after receipt of those comments or other communications, and (B) a reasonable opportunity to participate in the response of the Company to those comments and to provide comments on that response (to which reasonable and good faith consideration shall be given), including by participating with the Company or its counsel in any discussions or meetings with the SEC or its staff.

          5.2 Meeting of Company Stockholders. The Company shall take all action reasonably necessary in accordance with Delaware Law and the Company Charter Documents to establish a record date, duly call, give notice of, convene and hold a meeting of its stockholders, to consider adoption of this Agreement (the “Stockholders’ Meeting”) reasonably promptly after the date of any SEC comments on the Proxy Statement have been resolved and the final Proxy Statement is otherwise ready for dispatch and, in connection therewith, the Company shall mail the Proxy Statement to the Company’s stockholders in advance of such meeting.

51

as permitted by Section 5.3(e) or Section 5.3(f), (i) the Proxy Statement shall include the Board Recommendation and (ii) the Company will use reasonable best efforts to solicit from its stockholders proxies in favor of the adoption of this Agreement and to take all other actions necessary or advisable to pursue the vote or consent of its stockholders, including such actions as are required by the rules and regulations of the Nasdaq Stock Market or Delaware Law or any other applicable Laws to obtain such approvals. Notwithstanding the foregoing in this Section 5.2, any adjournments or postponements of the Stockholders’ Meeting or any recess of the Stockholders’ Meeting beyond the scheduled meeting date shall require the prior written consent of Parent other than in the case and to the extent to which the Company is required to allow additional time to ensure that any necessary supplement or amendment to the Proxy Statement is provided to its stockholders in advance of a vote on the adoption of this Agreement or, if as of the time for which the Stockholders’ Meeting is originally scheduled (as set forth in the Proxy Statement), there are insufficient shares of Company Common Stock represented (either in person or by proxy) to constitute a quorum necessary to conduct the business of such Stockholders’ Meeting. Unless this Agreement is terminated by the Company or Parent, as the case may be, pursuant to Article VII, the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to ensure that any Stockholders’ Meeting (including any adjournment or postponement thereof) is called, noticed, convened, held and conducted, and that all proxies solicited by it in connection with the Stockholders’ Meeting (including any adjournment or postponement thereof) are solicited, in compliance with Delaware Law, its Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws, the rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market and all other applicable Laws.

               (a) No Solicitation. The Company agrees that none of the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of the Company’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ officers and directors shall, and that it shall cause the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ other Employees, agents and representatives (including any investment banker, attorney or accountant retained by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries) (such officers, directors, Employees, agents and representatives, collectively, “Company Representatives”) not to (and shall not authorize or permit any of them to), directly or indirectly: (i) solicit, initiate or knowingly take any action to facilitate or encourage any inquiry with respect to any Acquisition Proposal, or the making or submission or announcement of any proposal that is or could reasonably be expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal, (ii) conduct, participate or engage in any discussions or negotiations regarding, or furnish to any Person (other than Parent and its affiliates and their respective representatives and other than the Company Representatives) any nonpublic information relating to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to, or otherwise cooperate in any way with, or knowingly assist, participate in, facilitate or knowingly encourage any effort with respect to any Acquisition Proposal by, any Person other than Parent, Merger Sub or any Subsidiary of Parent that is seeking to make, or has made, an Acquisition Proposal, (iii) approve, endorse, recommend or make or authorize any public statement, recommendation or solicitation in support of any Acquisition Proposal, (iv) approve any transaction (other than the transactions contemplated hereby) under, or any Person other than Parent, Merger Sub or any Subsidiary of Parent becoming an “interested stockholder” under, Section 203 of Delaware Law or (v) terminate, amend or waive any material rights under (or fail to take commercially reasonable steps to enforce such agreement) any “standstill” or other similar agreement between the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and any other Person other than Parent, Merger Sub or any Subsidiary of Parent, except in the case of

52

clauses (ii), (iii) or (iv) to the extent specifically permitted pursuant to Section 5.3(d) or Section 5.3(e). Upon entering into of this Agreement, the Company and its Subsidiaries will immediately cease and cause to be terminated any and all existing activities, discussions or negotiations (including any such activities, discussions or negotiations conducted by affiliates of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any Company Representatives) with any third parties conducted prior to the date of this Agreement with respect to consideration of any proposal that is or could reasonably be expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal. The Company will exercise any rights under any confidentiality or non-disclosure agreements with any such third parties to require the return or destruction of nonpublic information provided prior to the date of this Agreement by the Company, its Subsidiaries or any Company Representative to any such third parties.

               (c) Notification of Unsolicited Acquisition Proposals. As promptly as practicable (and in any event no later than twenty four (24) hours) after receipt of any Acquisition Proposal or any request for nonpublic information or inquiry that could reasonably be expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal or from any Person seeking to have discussions or negotiations with the Company relating to a possible Acquisition Proposal, the Company shall provide Parent with notice of such Acquisition Proposal, request or inquiry, including the material terms and conditions of such Acquisition Proposal, request or inquiry, the identity of the Person or group making any such Acquisition Proposal, request or inquiry and a copy of all drafts and final versions of transaction documents provided by or on behalf of such Person or group in connection with such Acquisition Proposal. The Company shall notify Parent, in writing, of any decision of its Board of Directors to enter into discussions or negotiations concerning any Acquisition Proposal or to provide nonpublic information to any Person, which notice shall be given as promptly as practicable after the meeting or action by written consent of the Board of Directors at which such decision is made (and in any event at least twelve (12) hours prior to entering into any discussions or negotiations or providing any nonpublic information to any Person). The

53

Company agrees that it shall promptly (and in any event within twelve (12) hours) (i) provide Parent with oral and written notice setting forth all such information as is reasonably necessary to keep Parent currently informed in all material respects of the status and material terms of any such Acquisition Proposal, request or inquiry (including any negotiations contemplated by Section 5.3(d)), (ii) provide Parent a copy of all written materials subsequently provided to, by or on behalf of such Person or group in connection with such Acquisition Proposal, request or inquiry and (iii) notify Parent of any determination by the Board of Directors of the Company that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Superior Offer.

               (d) Permitted Response to Acquisition Proposals. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 5.3(a) or elsewhere in this Agreement, in the event that the Company receives prior to obtaining Stockholder Approval a bona fide, written unsolicited Acquisition Proposal from a third Person that did not result from a breach of this Section 5.3 and the Company’s Board of Directors in good faith concludes, after consultation with its outside legal counsel and its financial advisor, that such Acquisition Proposal is, or would reasonably be expected to lead to, a Superior Offer, the Company may then (1) furnish nonpublic information to the third Person making such Acquisition Proposal and (2) engage in negotiations with the third Person with respect to such Acquisition Proposal; provided that:

               (i) the Company complies with all of the terms of this Section 5.3;

               (ii) prior to furnishing or making available any nonpublic information or entering into any negotiations or discussions with such third Person, (1) such third Person is bound to an executed confidentiality agreement with the Company no less restrictive to such third Person with respect to the use or disclosure of nonpublic information than the Confidentiality Agreement is with respect to Parent (including with respect to “non-solicitation” provisions) and (2) contemporaneously with furnishing or making available any such nonpublic information to such third Person, to the extent such nonpublic information has not been previously so furnished or made available to Parent, copies of such nonpublic information; and

               (iii) the Board of Directors of the Company reasonably determines in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel, that the failure to provide such information or enter into such discussion or negotiations would result in a breach of the Board of Directors’ fiduciary duties to the stockholders of the Company under applicable Law.

               (e) Superior Offers. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 5.3(a) or elsewhere in this Agreement, solely in response to the receipt of an unsolicited Superior Offer, the Board of Directors of the Company may (i) terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1(g) in order to concurrently enter into a definitive binding Acquisition Agreement accepting such Superior Offer or (ii) effect a Change of Recommendation, in the case of clauses (i) or (ii) if all of the following conditions in clauses (A) through (F) are met:

54

                    (B) the Stockholder Approval has not been obtained;

                    (C) the Company shall have delivered to Parent prior written notice (a “Superior Offer Notice”) at least three (3) Business Days in advance of its intention to take such action with respect to such Superior Offer which shall state expressly (1) that the Company has received a Superior Offer, (2) the terms and conditions of the Superior Offer, copies of all relevant documents relating to such Superior Offer and the identity of the Person or group making the Superior Offer and (3) that the Company intends to terminate this Agreement in order to concurrently enter into a definitive Acquisition Agreement accepting such Superior Offer, or effect a Change of Recommendation, as applicable;

                    (D) after delivering the Superior Offer Notice, the Company shall provide Parent with a reasonable opportunity to make such adjustments in the terms and conditions of this Agreement during such three (3)-Business Day period, and negotiate (and shall cause the Company’s financial and legal advisors to negotiate) in good faith with respect thereto during such three (3)-Business Day period, to make such changes in the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the other agreements that may be offered in writing by Parent during the applicable notice period so that such Acquisition Proposal ceases to constitute a Superior Offer or that the cause for the Change of Recommendation ceases to exist, as applicable (it being agreed that any material amendment or modification to the terms of the Superior Offer (including any amendment to any price term thereof), shall require a new Superior Offer Notice and again require compliance with the terms of this Section 5.3(e), except that the additional advance notice period shall be reduced to two (2) Business Days with respect to any such new Superior Offer Notice;

                    (E) the Board of Directors of the Company shall have considered, after consultation with its outside legal counsel and its financial advisor, any amendment to the terms and conditions of this Agreement (including any increase in the Merger Consideration) and the other agreements contemplated hereby that may be offered in writing by Parent during the applicable notice period and shall have determined (1) after

55

consultation with its financial advisor, that the terms of the Superior Offer are more favorable to the stockholders of the Company (in their capacities as stockholders) than the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (taking into account as it may be adjusted pursuant to paragraph (D) above) and (2) after consultation with outside legal counsel, that the failure to take the applicable action set forth in clause (i) or (ii) of this Section 5.3(e) would result in a breach of the Board of Directors’ fiduciary duties to the stockholders of the Company under applicable Law; and

                    (F) the Company shall not have breached any of the provisions set forth in Section 5.2 or this Section 5.3 in any material respect in connection with such Superior Offer.

                    (f) Intervening Event Change of Recommendation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time prior to obtaining the Stockholder Approval, the Board of Directors of the Company may, in response to an Intervening Event, effect a Change of Recommendation; provided that all of the following conditions in clauses (A) through (D) are met:

                    (A) the Board of Directors of the Company determines in good faith, after consultation with the Company’s outside legal counsel, that such Intervening Event has occurred;

                    (B) the Company shall have delivered to Parent prior written notice (an “Intervening Event Notice”) at least four (4) Business Days in advance of its intention to effect a Change of Recommendation in response to such Intervening Event which notice shall include information describing such Intervening Event in reasonable detail and state expressly (1) that an Intervening Event has occurred and (2) that the Company intends to effect a Change of Recommendation in response to such Intervening Event (and provided that any material change to the facts and circumstances relating to such Intervening Event shall require a new Intervening Event Notice and again require compliance with the terms of this Section 5.3(f), except that the additional advance notice period shall be reduced to two (2) Business Days with respect to any such new Intervening Event Notice);

                    (C) after delivering the Intervening Event Notice, the Company shall provide Parent with a reasonable opportunity to make such adjustments in the terms and conditions of this Agreement during such four (4)-Business Day period, and negotiate (and shall cause the Company’s financial and legal advisors to negotiate) in good faith with respect thereto during

56

such four (4)-Business Day period, to make such changes in the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the other agreements that may be offered in writing by Parent during the notice period so that the cause for the Change of Recommendation ceases to exist; and

                    (D) the Board of Directors of the Company shall have considered, after consultation with its outside legal counsel and its financial advisor, any amendment to the terms and conditions of this Agreement (including any increase in the Merger Consideration) and the other agreements contemplated hereby that may be offered in writing by Parent during the applicable notice period and shall have determined after consultation with outside legal counsel, that the failure to effect a Change of Recommendation in response to such Intervening Event would result in a breach of the Board of Directors’ fiduciary duties to the stockholders of the Company under applicable Law (taking into account any such offered amendments to this Agreement and such other agreements).

                    (g) State Takeover Statute. The Board of Directors of the Company shall not, in connection with any Change of Recommendation, take any action to change the approval of the Board of Directors of the Company for purposes of causing any state takeover statute or other state Law to be applicable to the transactions contemplated hereby. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 5.3(g) shall not prohibit the Company from effecting a Change of Recommendation as specifically permitted pursuant to the terms of Section 5.3(e) or Section 5.3(f).

57

(other than in the ordinary course of business materially consistent with past practice), acquisition or disposition of more than fifteen percent (15%) of the consolidated assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole or (d) any liquidation or dissolution of the Company; provided, that the transactions between Parent and the Company contemplated by this Agreement (and any other transactions between the Company and Parent or any wholly owned Subsidiary of Parent) shall not be deemed an Acquisition Proposal;

               (ii) “Intervening Event” means any event, development or change in circumstances, with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries outside of the ordinary course of business, that is material to the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, that (i) was neither known to the Board of Directors of the Company, the Chief Executive Officer of the Company or the Chief Financial Officer of the Company nor reasonably foreseeable as of or prior to the date hereof and (ii) does not relate to (A) any Acquisition Proposal or (B) any events, changes or circumstances relating to Parent, Merger Sub or any of their affiliates; and

               (a) Confidentiality.

Unless Parent provides such written notice to the Company, no later than three (3) Business Days prior to the consummation of the Merger Closing Date, the Company shall provide Parent with evidence that such 401(k) Plan(s) have been terminated (effective as of no later than the day immediately preceding the Merger Closing Date) pursuant to resolutions of the Board of Directors of the Company, its Subsidiaries or such ERISA Affiliate, as the case may be.

To the extent that Continuing Employees participate in any of Parent’s employee benefit plans, programs, policies and arrangements following the Effective Time, including any severance plan, medical plan, dental plan, life insurance plan, Code Section 401(k) arrangement, vacation program or disability plan (collectively, the “Parent Benefit Plans”), such Continuing Employees shall receive credit for service with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries solely for purposes of eligibility to participate and vesting (but not for any other purpose, including benefit accrual or determination of level of benefits purposes) under the Parent Benefit Plans in which such Continuing Employees participate solely to the extent such Continuing Employees’ were credited with service under comparable plans of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for such purposes; provided that no such employee shall be entitled to such credit (i) to the extent that it results in duplication of benefits, or (ii) for purposes of any equity or equity-based or other incentive compensation or sabbatical plan, policy, program, agreement or arrangement, or any arrangement similar to the foregoing.

63

pocket limitations, to amounts paid during the plan year that included the Effective Time by such Continuing Employees with respect to similar plans maintained by Company and its Subsidiaries.

               (d) The Company will be responsible for all requisite notices, payments and employee transfers required under any works councils agreements and necessary to consummate the transaction, or as any such actions are requested by Parent.

It is acknowledged and agreed by the parties hereto that all provisions contained in this Section 5.8 with respect to employees are included for the sole benefit of the respective parties and shall not create any right (i) in any other Person, including any employees, former employees, any participant in any Company Employee Plan or any participant in any Parent Benefit Plan or any beneficiary thereof or (ii) to continued employment with the Company, any of its Subsidiaries, the Surviving Corporation, Parent or any of their affiliates. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 5.8, nothing contained herein, whether expressed or implied, (i) shall be treated as an amendment or other modification of any Company Employee Plan or any Parent Benefit Plan or (ii) shall limit the right otherwise existing of Parent or the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective Subsidiaries to amend, terminate or otherwise modify (or cause to be amended, terminated or otherwise modified) any Company Employee Plan or Parent Benefit Plan.

               (a) Indemnity. From and after the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation (including furnishing the Surviving Corporation with any necessary funds) to fulfill and honor in all respects the obligations of the Company pursuant to the Company Charter Documents and pursuant to all indemnification agreements between the Company and any of the current or former directors or officers of the Company and its Subsidiaries (the “Indemnified Parties”), in each case in effect as of the date hereof and listed in Section 5.9(a) of the Company Disclosure Schedule (including, to the extent indemnifiable thereunder, for acts or omissions occurring in connection with the approval of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby), subject to applicable Law. Parent shall cause the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Surviving Corporation to contain provisions with respect to exculpation, indemnification and the advancement of expenses that are at least as favorable to the Indemnified Parties as those contained in the Company Charter Documents as in effect on the date hereof, which provisions will not, except as required by applicable Law, be amended, repealed or otherwise modified for a period of six (6) years from the Effective Time in any manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of Indemnified Parties or any other person who, prior to the Effective Time, was a director or officer of the Company,

               (b) Insurance.

64

Company’s directors’ and officers’ insurance policy in effect as of the date hereof and (iv) to the extent the annual premium therefor would not exceed two hundred and fifty percent (250%) of the annual premium currently paid by the Company for such coverage; provided that if such policy is not available on such terms, for a period of six (6) years after the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to maintain directors’ and officers’ liability insurance with one or more reputable unaffiliated third Person insurers covering those directors and officers who are currently covered by the Company’s directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy in effect as of the date hereof for actions and omissions of such officers and directors (in their capacities as such) occurring prior to the Effective Time of at least the same coverage and amounts containing terms and conditions that are, in the aggregate, no less favorable to the insured than those of the Company’s directors’ and officers’ insurance policy in effect as of the date hereof; provided that in no event will the Surviving Corporation be required to expend in any one year in excess of two hundred and fifty percent (250%) of the annual premium currently paid by the Company for such coverage (and to the extent annual premium would exceed two hundred and fifty percent (250%) of the annual premium currently paid by the Company for such coverage, the Surviving Corporation shall use all reasonable best efforts to cause to be maintained the maximum amount of coverage as is available for such two hundred and fifty percent (250%) of such annual premium).

               (c) Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Section 5.9 is intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by the Indemnified Parties and their heirs and personal representatives and shall be binding on Parent and the Surviving Corporation and their respective successors and assigns, and shall be in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other rights to indemnification or contribution that any such Person may have by contract or otherwise. On and after the Merger Closing, the obligations of Parent under this Section 5.9 shall not be terminated or modified in such a manner as to adversely affect the rights of any Indemnified Party under this Section 5.9 without the consent of such affected Indemnified Party.

In no event will any noncompliance with this Section 5.10 constitute a closing condition under Section 6.2(b) or give right to a right of termination under Section 7.1(f)(y) unless such noncompliance is knowing and intentional.

          5.11 Section 16 Matters. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall take all such steps as may be required (to the extent permitted under applicable Law) to cause any dispositions of Company Common Stock (including derivative securities with respect to Company Common Stock) resulting from the transactions contemplated by this Agreement by each individual who is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act with respect to the Company to be exempt under Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act.

               (a) The representations and warranties of Parent and Merger Sub contained in this Agreement (disregarding all materiality and Material Adverse Effect qualifications contained therein) shall be true and correct in all material respects as of the date of this Agreement and at and as of the Merger Closing Date as if made at and as of such time (other than representations and warranties that by their terms address matters only as of another specified time, which need be true only as of such time), except where the failure of such representations and warranties to be so true and correct in all material respects would not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the ability of Parent to consummate the Merger.

69

               (b) Parent and Merger Sub shall not have breached or failed to perform or comply in any material respects with any of their respective agreements, obligations and covenants under this Agreement.

               (c) The Company shall have received a certificate signed by an executive officer of Parent, dated as of the Merger Closing Date, certifying that the conditions specified in Section 6.3(a) and Section 6.3(b) have been satisfied.

TERMINATION, AMENDMENT AND WAIVER

          7.1 Termination. This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Effective Time, by action taken by the terminating party or parties, and except as provided below, whether before or after the requisite approvals of the stockholders of the Company:

               (a) by mutual written consent duly authorized by the Boards of Directors of each of Parent and the Company;

               (b) by either the Company or Parent if the Merger shall not have been consummated by April 30, 2012 (as such date may be extended pursuant to the following proviso, the “End Date”); provided that in the event the condition set forth in Section 6.1(c) shall not have been satisfied on or prior to April 30, 2012, but all other conditions set forth in Article VI (other than those conditions that by their terms are to be satisfied at the Merger Closing, each of which shall be capable of being satisfied at the Merger Closing) have been satisfied, the Company or Parent may elect to extend the End Date, by written notice to the other parties on or prior to April 30, 2012, until August 31, 2012; provided further that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 7.1(b) shall not be available to any party whose action or failure to act has been a principal cause of or resulted in the failure of the Merger to occur on or before such date and such action or failure to act constitutes a breach of this Agreement;

               (c) by either the Company or Parent if a Governmental Entity shall have issued an order, decree or ruling or taken any other action (including the failure to have taken an action), in any case having the effect of permanently restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the consummation of the Merger, which order, decree, ruling or other action is final and non-appealable;

               (d) by Parent (at any time prior to obtaining Stockholder Approval) if a Triggering Event with respect to the Company shall have occurred;

               (e) by the Company (at any time prior to obtaining Stockholder Approval), upon (x) a breach of any representation or warranty on the part of Parent set forth in this Agreement, or if any representation or warranty of Parent or Merger Sub shall have become untrue, in either case such that the condition set forth in Section 6.3(a) would not be satisfied as of the time of such breach or as of the time such representation or warranty shall have become untrue or (y) a material breach of the covenants and agreements of Parent or Merger Sub set forth in this Agreement; provided that in each case if such inaccuracy in Parent’s or Merger Sub’s representations and warranties or breach by Parent or Merger Sub is curable by Parent or Merger

70

Sub prior to the End Date through the exercise of reasonable best efforts, then the Company may not terminate this Agreement under this Section 7.1(e) prior to thirty (30) days following the receipt by Parent of written notice from the Company to Parent of such inaccuracy or breach provided Parent continues to exercise all reasonable best efforts to cure such inaccuracy or breach through such thirty (30)-day period (it being understood that the Company may not terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 7.1(e) if it shall have materially breached this Agreement or if such breach by Parent is cured within such thirty (30)-day period);

               (f) by Parent (at any time prior to obtaining Stockholder Approval), upon (x) a breach of any representation or warranty on the part of the Company set forth in this Agreement, or if any representation or warranty of the Company shall have become untrue, in either case such that the condition set forth in Section 6.2(a) would not be satisfied as of the time of such breach or as of the time such representation or warranty shall have become untrue Agreement or (y) a material breach of the covenants and agreements of the Company set forth in this Agreement; provided that in each case if such inaccuracy in the Company’s representations and warranties or breach by the Company is curable by the Company prior to the End Date through the exercise of reasonable best efforts, then Parent may not terminate this Agreement under this Section 7.1(f) prior to thirty (30) days following the receipt by the Company of written notice from Parent to the Company of such inaccuracy or breach provided the Company continues to exercise all reasonable best efforts to cure such inaccuracy or breach through such thirty (30)-day period (it being understood that Parent may not terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 7.1(f) if it or Merger Sub shall have materially breached this Agreement or if such breach by the Company is cured within such thirty (30)-day period);

               (g) by the Company, if at any time prior to obtaining Stockholder Approval, (x) the Company has determined to enter into a definitive binding Acquisition Agreement accepting a Superior Offer pursuant to and in compliance with Section 5.3, and (y) concurrently with such termination, the Company enters into such agreement and pays to Parent the Termination Fee described in Section 7.3(b);

               (h) by Parent, if any Effect, either individually or in the aggregate, shall have occurred since the date hereof and be continuing that has, or would reasonably be expected to have, a Company Material Adverse Effect; provided that if such Effect is capable of remediation through the exercise of the Company’s reasonable best efforts prior to the End Date such that no Company Material Adverse Effect would continue to exist, or would reasonably be expected to occur, then Parent may not terminate this Agreement under this Section 7.1(h) prior to thirty (30) days following the occurrence of such Effect; or

               (i) by Parent or the Company, if Stockholder Approval shall not have been obtained at the Stockholders’ Meeting or at any adjournment or postponement thereof.

71

recommendation be affirmed in response to a publicly announced Acquisition Proposal, (iv) the Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall have entered into any Acquisition Agreement or (v) the Company materially breaches any of its obligations set forth in Section 5.2 or knowingly, intentionally and materially breaches any of its obligations in Section 5.3.

          7.2 Notice of Termination; Effect of Termination. Other than with respect to termination pursuant to Section 7.1(g), any termination of this Agreement under Section 7.1 above will be effective immediately upon the delivery of a valid written notice of the terminating party to the other party hereto. Any termination of this Agreement under Section 7.1(g) will be effective upon the later of delivery of a valid written notice of the Company to Parent and payment of the Termination Fee described in, and in accordance with Section 7.3(b). In the event of the termination of this Agreement as provided in Section 7.1, this Agreement shall be of no further force or effect, except (i) as set forth in Section 5.4(a), this Section 7.2, Section 7.3 and Article VIII, each of which shall survive the termination of this Agreement and (ii) nothing herein shall relieve any party from liability for any knowing and intentional breach of this Agreement or fraud (each, a “Covered Breach”). No termination of this Agreement shall affect the obligations of the parties contained in the Confidentiality Agreement, all of which obligations shall survive termination of this Agreement in accordance with their terms.

          7.3 Fees and Expenses.

               (a) General. Except as set forth in this Section 7.3, all fees and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be paid by the party incurring such expenses whether or not the Merger is consummated; provided that Parent and the Company shall share equally the filing fee for the Notification and Report Forms filed with the FTC and DOJ under the HSR Act and for similar initial premerger notification and report forms filed under similar applicable Laws of other jurisdictions, in each case pursuant to Section 5.6(a).

               (b) Company Payment.

               (i) Termination Fee. Other than as set forth below, the Company shall promptly, but (except in the case of clause (B) below) in no event later than two (2) Business Days after the date of termination pursuant to the sections of this Agreement as set forth below, pay Parent a fee equal to One Hundred Twenty-Seven Million Dollars ($127,000,000) (the “Termination Fee”) in the event that this Agreement is (A) terminated by Parent pursuant to Section 7.1(d); (B) terminated by the Company pursuant to Section 7.1(g), provided that in the case of termination under Section 7.1(g), payment of the Termination Fee by the Company shall be made concurrently with such termination, or (C) terminated by Parent or the Company pursuant to Section 7.1(b), Section 7.1(f) or Section 7.1(i); provided that in the case of termination pursuant to Section 7.1(b), Section 7.1(f) (on account of a knowing and intentional breach of one or more covenants and agreements other than Section 5.2 or Section 5.3) or Section 7.1(i) such payment (1) shall be made only if after the date of this Agreement and prior to such termination, there has been disclosure publicly of an Acquisition Proposal with respect to the Company and within twelve (12) months following

72

the termination of this Agreement, an Acquisition of the Company is consummated or the Company enters into a definitive agreement with a third Person with respect to an Acquisition of the Company and (2) shall be made no later than the earlier of (x) the consummation of such Acquisition of the Company and (y) twelve (12) months following the termination of this Agreement; provided further that the Company shall not be excused of its obligation to pay the Termination Fee by reason of the termination or abandonment of any such definitive agreement with respect to the Acquisition. Notwithstanding the foregoing in this Section 7.3(b)(i), no Termination Fee shall be payable with respect to any termination pursuant to Section 7.1(b) under circumstances where (x) Parent’s or Merger Sub’s breach of this Agreement was the principal cause of the failure of the Merger Closing Date to occur on or before the End Date, or (y) the condition set forth in Section 6.1(c) has not been satisfied prior to termination and the Company’s breach of this Agreement was not the principal cause of the failure of the satisfaction of, Section 6.1(c) on or before the End Date.

               (ii) Interest and Costs; Other Remedies. The Company acknowledges that the agreements contained in this Section 7.3(b) are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and that, without these agreements, Parent would not enter into this Agreement; accordingly, if the Company fails to pay in a timely manner the amounts due pursuant to this Section 7.3(b), and, in order to obtain such payment, Parent makes a claim that results in a judgment against the Company for the amounts set forth in this Section 7.3(b), the Company shall pay to Parent the reasonable costs and expenses of Parent (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) in connection with such suit, together with interest on the amounts due pursuant to this Section 7.3(b) at the rate two percent (2%) per annum over the United States bank prime rate of interest published in The Wall Street Journal on the date such payment was required (or, if such date is not a publication date, the most recent preceding publication date) from the date such payment was required to be made (or such lesser percentage as is the maximum permitted under applicable Law). Any and all such payment of fees and expenses described in this Section 7.3(b) shall be made by the Company by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account to be designated by Parent. Payment of the fees and expenses described in this Section 7.3(b) shall not be in lieu of, but shall be credited against, damages incurred in the event of a Covered Breach. Each of the parties acknowledges and agrees that the Termination Fee is not a penalty, but rather is liquidated damages in a reasonable amount that will compensate Parent and Merger Sub in the circumstances in which such Termination Fee is payable for the efforts and resources expended and opportunities foregone while negotiating this Agreement and in reliance on this Agreement and on the expectation of the consummation of the Merger, which amount would otherwise be impossible to calculate with precision. The parties acknowledge and agree that in no event shall the Company be required to pay the Termination Fee on more than one occasion, whether or not the Termination Fee may be payable under more than one provision of this Agreement at the same or at different times and the occurrence of different events. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 7.3(b)(ii) shall limit the

73

rights of Parent, Merger Sub or the Company under Section 8.8 (or otherwise with respect to injunctive or similar relief) or the rights of Parent or Merger Sub to seek damages under Section 7.2 for any Covered Breach.

               (iii) Certain Definitions. For the purposes of this Section 7.3(b) only, “Acquisition,” with respect to the Company, means a transaction of the type described in the definition of Acquisition Proposal, except that for this purpose each reference to “fifteen percent (15%)” therein shall be deemed to be a reference to “forty percent (40%)”.

          7.4 Amendment. Subject to applicable Law, this Agreement may be amended by the parties hereto, by action taken or authorized by their respective Boards of Directors, at any time before or after obtaining Stockholder Approval; provided that no such amendment shall be made after the Stockholder Approval which by Delaware Law requires further approval by the stockholders of the Company without such further stockholder approval; provided further that this Agreement may not be amended except by execution of an instrument in writing signed on behalf of each of Parent, Merger Sub and the Company.

          7.5 Extension; Waiver. At any time prior to the Effective Time either party hereto, by action taken or authorized by their respective Board of Directors, may, to the extent legally allowed: (i) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the other parties hereto, (ii) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties made to such party contained herein or in any document delivered pursuant hereto and (iii) waive compliance with any of the agreements or conditions for the benefit of such party contained herein. No failure or delay by any party in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder, including pursuant to Section 7.1, shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies herein provided shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by applicable Law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any provision of this Agreement may be waived prior to the Effective Time if, but only if, such waiver is in writing and is signed by each party against whom the waiver is to be effective; provided that that no such waiver shall be made after the Stockholder Approval which by Delaware Law requires further approval by the stockholders of the Company without such further stockholder approval.

This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be considered an original and one and the same agreement and shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the parties and delivered to the other party, it being understood that all parties need not sign the same counterpart. Signatures to this Agreement transmitted by facsimile transmission, electronic mail in PDF form, or by any other electronic means designed to preserve the original graphic and pictorial appearance of a document, will be deemed to have the same effect as physical delivery of the paper document bearing the original signatures.

          8.6 Entire Agreement; Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement and the documents and instruments and other agreements among the parties hereto as contemplated by or referred to herein, including the Company Disclosure Schedule and Parent Disclosure Schedule,

78

               (a) constitute the entire agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, it being understood that the Confidentiality Agreement shall continue in full force and effect until the Merger Closing and shall survive any termination of this Agreement and

               (b) are not intended to confer upon any Person other than the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns any rights or remedies hereunder, except

               (i) as specifically provided, following the Effective Time, in Section 5.9; and

               (ii) prior to the Effective Time, for the right of the Company (or any successor in interest thereto), in its sole and absolute discretion, on behalf of the holders of Company Shares to pursue specific performance or, if specific performance is not sought or is not granted as a remedy, damages (which damages may include the loss of the economic benefits of the Merger to the holders of Company Shares) in the event of Parent’s knowing and intentional and material breach of this Agreement or fraud with respect hereto, which right is hereby acknowledged and agreed to by Parent and Merger Sub but which right may only be pursued subject to and in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

This Agreement supersedes the letter agreement between the parties regarding exclusivity dated as of August 16, 2011, provided that nothing herein shall excuse any breach thereof occurring prior to the execution of this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing: (a) Parent and Merger Sub acknowledge and agree that the Company has not made and is not making any representations or warranties whatsoever regarding the subject matter of this Agreement, express or implied, except as provided in Article II, and that they are not relying and have not relied on any representations or warranties whatsoever regarding the subject matter of this Agreement, express or implied, except as provided in Article II; and (b) the Company acknowledges and agrees that Parent and Merger Sub have not made and are not making any representations or warranties whatsoever regarding the subject matter of this Agreement, express or implied, except as provided in Article III, and that it is not relying and has not relied on any representations or warranties whatsoever regarding the subject matter of this Agreement, express or implied, except as provided in Article III.

          8.7 Severability. In the event that any provision of this Agreement or the application thereof, becomes or is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction or other Governmental Entity to be invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement will continue in full force and effect and the application of such provision to other Persons or circumstances will be interpreted so as reasonably to effect the intent of the parties hereto. The parties further agree to replace such void or unenforceable provision of this Agreement with a valid and enforceable provision that will achieve, to the greatest extent possible, the economic, business and other purposes of such void or unenforceable provision.

79

          8.8 Other Remedies; Specific Performance. Except as otherwise provided herein, any and all remedies herein expressly conferred upon a party will be deemed cumulative with and not exclusive of any other remedy conferred hereby, or by Law or equity upon such party, and the exercise by a party of any one remedy will not preclude the exercise of any other remedy. The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed by the parties hereto that the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions, without the necessity of proving the inadequacy of money damages as a remedy and without the necessity of posting any bond or other security, to prevent breaches of the provisions of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof, this being in addition to any other remedy to which the parties may be entitled at law or in equity.

          8.9 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, regardless of the Laws that might otherwise govern under applicable principles of conflicts of law thereof. Each of the parties hereto irrevocably consents to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the Delaware Court of Chancery and any state appellate court therefrom within the State of Delaware (or, if the Delaware Court of Chancery declines to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, any state or federal court within the State of Delaware) in connection with any matter based upon or arising out of this Agreement or the matters contemplated herein, agrees that process may be served upon them in any manner authorized by the laws of the State of Delaware for such persons and irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, and covenants not to assert or plead any objection it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such suit, action or proceeding in any such court or that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

          8.10 Rules of Construction. The parties hereto agree that they have been represented by counsel during the negotiation and execution of this Agreement and, therefore, waive the application of any Law, regulation, holding or rule of construction providing that ambiguities in an agreement or other document will be construed against the party drafting such agreement or document.

          8.11 Assignment. No party may assign, delegate or otherwise transfer either this Agreement or any of its rights, interests, or obligations hereunder without the prior written approval of the other parties, except that Parent may transfer or assign its rights and delegate its obligations hereunder, in whole or in part, to any of its wholly owned Subsidiaries at any time; provided that Merger Sub may assign this Agreement to any wholly owned Subsidiary of Parent (provided that such assignment shall not impede or delay the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or otherwise materially impede the rights of the stockholders of the Company under this Agreement). No transfer or assignment by any party shall relieve such party of any of its obligations hereunder. Any purported assignment in violation of this Section 8.11 shall be void. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

80

          8.12 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH OF PARENT, MERGER SUB AND THE COMPANY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THE ACTIONS OF PARENT, MERGER SUB OR THE COMPANY IN THE NEGOTIATION, ADMINISTRATION, PERFORMANCE AND ENFORCEMENT HEREOF.

(Nasdaq: NETL), a leader in high performance intelligent semiconductor solutions for next generation networks, today announced they have entered into a definitive merger agreement. Under the agreement, NetLogic Microsystems shareholders will receive $50 per share in a transaction of approximately $3.7 billion, net of cash assumed.

The acquisition meaningfully extends Broadcom’s infrastructure portfolio with a number of critical new product lines and technologies, including knowledge-based processors, multi-core embedded processors, and digital front-end processors, each of which offers industry-leading performance and capabilities. The combination enables Broadcom to deliver best-in-class, seamlessly-integrated network infrastructure platforms to its customers, reducing both their time-to-market and their development costs.

The transaction has been approved by the Broadcom and NetLogic Microsystems boards of directors and is subject to customary closing conditions, including the receipt of domestic and foreign regulatory clearances and the approval of NetLogic Microsystems’ stockholders. The transaction is expected to close in the first half of 2012. Broadcom currently expects the acquisition to be accretive to earnings per share by approximately $0.10 on a non-GAAP basis in 2012.

“This transaction delivers on all fronts for Broadcom’s shareholders — strategic fit, leading-edge technology and significant financial upside,” said Scott McGregor,

Broadcom’s President and CEO. “With NetLogic Microsystems, Broadcom is acquiring a leading multi-core embedded processor solution, market leading knowledge-based processors, and unique digital front-end technology for wireless base stations that are key enablers for the next generation infrastructure build-out. Broadcom is now better positioned to meet growing customer demand for integrated, end-to-end communications and processing platforms for network infrastructure.”

Mr. McGregor added, “Today’s transaction is consistent with Broadcom’s strategic portfolio review process and with our focus on value creation through disciplined capital allocation while delivering best-in-class platforms for customers in the fastest growing segments of the communications industry.”

“This is a strong win for customers, for shareholders and for NetLogic Microsystems employees,” said Ron Jankov, NetLogic Microsystems President and CEO. “Our industry-leading product portfolio will benefit from access to Broadcom’s broad set of leading-edge technologies, tools, resources and eco-system, which will enable the combined company to offer a complete and integrated platform for our customers’ next generation designs. Our employees will benefit from the strong cultural alignment with Broadcom, and from joining forces with an equally aggressive and energetic organization with the same relentless focus on engineering excellence and innovation.”

Broadcom today also reiterated its business outlook for the third quarter of 2011. Broadcom expects revenue around the middle of the previously-guided range of $1.9 billion and $2.0 billion, GAAP product gross margins of flat to up slightly and GAAP research & development and selling, general and administrative expenses of flat to down $10 million in the third quarter of 2011. By the end of the third quarter, Broadcom also expects to have approximately $4.2 billion in cash and cash equivalents on hand, up from approximately $3.8 billion at the end of the second quarter.

Broadcom and NetLogic Microsystems will conduct a conference call with analysts and investors to discuss Broadcom’s proposed acquisition of NetLogic Microsystems today at 5:00am Pacific Time (8:00am Eastern Time). Both companies will broadcast the conference call via webcast over the Internet.

[Email from Ronald S. Jankov to NetLogic Microsystems employees on September 12, 2011]

Dear NetLogic family,

This morning, we announced that we have entered into a definitive agreement to merge with Broadcom, a global fabless semiconductor leader in wired and wireless communications.

As most of you know, I have been very vocal about how strong our business is and how exciting the prospects are for us given the leading-edge innovations and best-in-class products we bring to the market.

I believe this combination with Broadcom will open up many more doors for us and allow us to invest more aggressively into our R&D product execution and allow us to bring our technologies to a wide set of market opportunities. I truly believe that this creates a very unique opportunity for us to further accelerate our R&D investments and design win momentum across our product families to capitalize on the multiple exciting growth vectors ahead of us. Both companies’ infrastructure product portfolios are benefiting from the same core growth drivers such as LTE, data centers and IPv6, and are found in many of the same platforms across multiple infrastructure end segments. Moreover, Broadcom brings significant additional resources and technologies to help us further expand the opportunities for our existing products.

Perhaps as importantly, we see an unusually strong cultural alignment between the two organizations, as evident from our multi-generational product partnership with Broadcom. Both companies are aggressive, energetic, engineering-centric and driven by an unwavering commitment to innovation and technical leadership. We both have a successful track record of bringing best-in-class products to market, and we believe that bringing together our two like-minded teams will create a new organization that will continue to deliver highly differentiated end-to-end network infrastructure solutions for our customers.

We anticipate the deal will close in the first half of 2012. Until then, it is business as usual. Please review the regulatory Do’s and Don’ts document attached to this email. I cannot stress enough how important it is that we follow these guidelines while we wait for the deal to officially close.

We will have an all-hands employee meeting for our Santa Clara employees at 9:30am on the 8^th floor of our HQ to discuss the transaction and answer any questions you may have. We will have a BBQ on the rooftop of the parking garage following that. We will also be sending out details about additional communications events for other sites shortly.

I am personally very excited about the opportunities ahead of us, and look forward to talking to you soon.

Sincerely,
Ron Jankov
President and CEO

Email from Scott A. McGregor to NetLogic Microsystems employees on September 12, 2011

Dear NetLogic Microsystems Employees:

By now you’ve seen Ron’s email announcing today’s important and exciting news. Let me be the first to welcome you to the Broadcom team. As you read in Ron’s email, we will be hosting two Town Hall meetings today to talk about how Broadcom and NetLogic Microsystems fit together and the path forward. We hope you will be able to participate in one of the meetings — a live meeting in Santa Clara and a live webcast for India, Asia and other geographies.

NetLogic Microsystems and Broadcom are similar on many fronts. We are both aggressive, energetic companies filled with the very best engineers and innovators. We both possess world-class technology and strong IP portfolios. And, we have both attracted exceptional customers.

We believe this deal will provide great value to customers, partners, shareholders and, most importantly, you. In the coming days, our team will be sharing more information about our business, entrepreneurial cultural and excellent benefits program.

Our guiding principle is simple: give engineers a complex problem, give them the tools they need, and get out of their way. With Broadcom’s resources, NetLogic Microsystems will be able to scale rapidly and accelerate the time to market. We are particularly excited about NetLogic Microsystems’ industry-leading multi-core processors, knowledge-based processors, digital front-end (DFE) processors and 10/40/100G PHYs. Together, we will be able to deliver a true end-to-end solution for a broad range of customers.

We anticipate the deal will close in the first half of 2012, subject to regulatory clearance and NetLogic Microsystems stockholder approval. A six-to-nine month closing seems long, but we have to work with authorities in the U.S and other countries.

After closing, NetLogic Microsystems employees will join our Infrastructure & Networking Group, led by Rajiv Ramaswami, executive vice president and general manager. Ron will become a senior vice president and an important member of Rajiv’s leadership team.

Know that everyone at Broadcom is enthusiastic about the deal and is looking forward to the day when you will officially join the team.

Scott McGregor
CEO, Broadcom

To Our Valued Customers and Partners:

We are pleased to inform you that NetLogic Microsystems, a worldwide leader in high-performance intelligent semiconductor solutions for next-generation Internet networks, has entered into a definitive agreement to merge with Broadcom. Subject to regulatory clearance, we expect the transaction to close by the first half of 2012.

We believe that our synergistic combination with Broadcom will, upon the transaction closing, bring tremendous value to our customers, partners and shareholders. In particular, we are excited about the prospects of complementing our portfolio of industry-leading multi-core processors, knowledge-based processors, digital front-end end processors and 10/40/100G PHYs with Broadcom’s broad portfolio of market-leading network and communications infrastructure products.

Because of the close alignment of our teams and cultures that is driven by an unwavering commitment to innovation and technical leadership, we expect the combined company to be able to accelerate our track record of bringing best-in-class products to market. This unique opportunity to bring together like-minded teams and their best-in-class technologies will enable us to deliver an end-to-end network infrastructure solution that is both compelling and differentiated for our customers.

We believe the combined entity will also enable us to accelerate our product roadmaps and to bring highly competitive solutions for your next-generation platform requirements. In addition, we are confident our combined customer support teams will be able to offer improved services and support to you, and we will, upon closing of the transaction, take proactive steps to ensure there is no interruption in product supply.

Until the transaction closes, it will be business as usual, and both companies will continue to operate as separate entities but will start working together on integration planning to ensure a seamless transition for customers at closing.

Please feel free to contact me or any member of my executive or sales team with any questions.

Sincerely,

Ron Jankov
