Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

Agreement and Plan of Merger

On May 23, 2016, Xura, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (as it may be amended from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”) with Sierra Private Holdings II Ltd., a private limited company incorporated under the laws of England and Wales (“Parent”), and Sierra Private Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), under which Merger Sub will be merged with and into the Company (the “Merger”), with the Company continuing after the Merger as the surviving corporation and subsidiary of Parent, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement. Parent and Merger Sub are affiliates of Siris Capital Group, LLC (“Siris”). The Merger Agreement has been unanimously approved by the Company’s Board of Directors.

At the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), each share of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than (i) certain shares of the Common Stock that are held by the Company, Parent or Merger Sub or any direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of either the Company or Parent, and (ii) certain shares of the Common Stock with respect to which the holder thereof shall have properly complied with the provisions of Section 262 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware as to appraisal rights) shall be converted into the right to receive $25.00 in cash, without interest, less any applicable taxes required to be withheld (the “Merger Consideration”).

At the Effective Time, each award of stock options, restricted stock units, and director stock units (whether vested or unvested) outstanding under a Company equity incentive plan immediately prior to the Effective Time shall become fully vested and shall be canceled in exchange for the payment to the holder of such canceled award of an amount in cash (without interest and less applicable tax withholding) equal to the product of the Merger Consideration (less the applicable exercise price per share in the case of a stock option) and the number of shares of Common Stock subject to such canceled award.

Consummation of the Merger is expected to occur in the third fiscal quarter of 2016 and is subject to certain customary closing conditions including, among others, the absence of certain legal impediments; the expiration or termination of the required waiting periods under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended; antitrust regulatory approvals in certain other jurisdictions; certain other filings and approvals by governmental authorities in France; and the approval by the holders of at least a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock entitled to vote on the Merger (the “Requisite Stockholder Approval”).

The Company has made customary representations and warranties in the Merger Agreement and has agreed to customary covenants regarding the operation of its business and other matters between the execution of the Merger Agreement and the Effective Time. Under the Merger Agreement, the Company is also subject to the “go-shop” covenant described below.

During the period beginning on the date of the Merger Agreement and continuing until 11:59 p.m. New York time on July 7, 2016 (the “Go-Shop Period”), the Company may solicit, initiate, encourage and facilitate any competing acquisition proposal from third parties, participate in discussions and negotiations with such third parties regarding such competing acquisition proposals and provide nonpublic information to such third parties pursuant to an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement (as defined in the Merger Agreement) with each such third party. Following expiration of the Go-Shop

2

Period and until the earlier of the Effective Time of the Merger or termination of the Merger Agreement in accordance with its terms, the Company will be subject to customary “no-shop” restrictions on its ability to solicit, initiate, encourage and facilitate any competing acquisition proposals from third parties, participate in discussions and negotiations with such third parties regarding such competing acquisition proposals and provide nonpublic information to such third parties pursuant to an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement with each such third party, except that the Company may continue solicitation of, or discussions or negotiations with, third parties engaged by the Company during the Go-Shop Period with whom a written acquisition proposal remains pending as of and following the expiration of the Go-Shop Period and which acquisition proposal the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) determines in good faith constitutes or would reasonably be expected to lead to a Superior Proposal (as defined in the Merger Agreement) (each such third party, an “Excluded Party”). Following expiration of the Go-Shop Period, the Company is not permitted to solicit competing acquisition proposals from third parties or take certain other actions, provided that before the Company has obtained the Requisite Stockholder Approval, if the Company receives a written acquisition proposal from a third party, the Company may furnish any information and other access to such third party and participate in discussions or negotiations with such third party, subject to (i) the Board first determining in good faith (after consultation with its financial advisor and legal counsel) that (a) the failure to take such action would be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable law and (b) such proposal either constitutes, or would reasonably be expected to lead to, a Superior Proposal and (ii) if the Company will provide nonpublic information, the Company provides any such nonpublic information to such third party pursuant to an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement.

Prior to the Company obtaining the Requisite Stockholder Approval, the no-shop restrictions above are subject to a “fiduciary out” provision, which permits the Board, subject to the Company’s compliance with certain obligations described below, to change its recommendation to the Company’s stockholders regarding the Merger in connection with an intervening event, or authorize or adopt an alternative acquisition agreement with respect to a competing acquisition proposal from a third party (each such action, a “Change in Company Board Recommendation”). With respect to certain Changes in Company Board Recommendation, the Board may take any such actions with respect to a competing acquisition proposal from a third party if the Board determines in good faith (after consultation with its financial advisor and legal counsel) that such proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal and that the failure to take such action would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable law. The Company would be permitted to enter an alternative acquisition agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal only if it terminated the Merger Agreement and paid certain fees owed to Parent as described further below. However, before the Board may make any Change in Company Board Recommendation or the Company may terminate the Merger Agreement in light of a Superior Proposal, the Company must comply with certain notice obligations with respect to Parent.

The Merger Agreement contains certain termination rights for the Company and Parent. The Merger Agreement can be terminated by either Parent or the Company if (i) the Merger is not consummated on or before November 23, 2016 (the “Outside Date”), (ii) the Merger becomes subject to a final, non-appealable law or order restraining, enjoining, rendering illegal or otherwise prohibiting the Merger, or (iii) the Requisite Stockholder Approval is not obtained following a vote of stockholders taken thereon. In addition, the Merger Agreement includes the following termination rights:

• If the Merger Agreement is terminated by either Parent or the Company in connection with the Company’s entry into a definitive agreement with respect to a Superior Proposal with an Excluded Party and such agreement is entered into by the Company no later than five business days following the end of the Go-Shop Period, then the Company will be required to pay Parent a termination fee equal to $12.85 million;

3

• If the Merger Agreement is terminated (i) by Parent because the Board effects a Change in Company Board Recommendation, the Company fails to recommend the Merger and approval of the Merger Agreement by the stockholders of the Company, the Company enters into an agreement with respect to an alternative Acquisition Proposal, the Company fails to reject a third party tender offer to acquire the Company’s securities within ten business days of its commencement; or the Company materially breaches certain of its covenants under the Merger Agreement relating to the no-shop restrictions or regarding the stockholders meeting to approve the Merger; or (ii) by the Company in connection with the Company’s entry into a definitive agreement with respect to a Superior Proposal with an Excluded Party and such agreement is entered into by the Company more than five business days following the end of the Go-Shop Period, then the Company will be required to pay Parent a termination fee equal to $22.49 million;

• If the Merger Agreement is terminated by the Company (i) because Parent or Acquisition Sub have breached their respective representations, warranties, covenants or other agreements in the Merger Agreement in certain circumstances and have failed to cure such breach within a certain period or (ii) because Parent has failed to consummate the Merger pursuant to the Merger Agreement notwithstanding the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions to Parent’s and Acquisition Sub’s obligations to do so and certain notice of such failure from the Company to Parent, then Parent will be required to pay the Company a reverse termination fee equal to $38.55 million.

Parent has secured committed financing, consisting of a combination of (i) equity to be provided by Siris Partners III, L.P. and Siris Partners III Parallel, L.P., which are affiliates of Siris, and (ii) debt financing to be provided by affiliates of Cerberus Business Finance, LLC. The Merger Agreement does not contain a financing condition. Further, Siris Partners III, L.P. and Siris Partners III Parallel, L.P. have provided the Company with a limited guaranty in favor of the Company guaranteeing the payment of the reverse termination fee and certain other monetary obligations, subject to the cap specified therein, that may be owed by Parent to the Company pursuant to the Merger Agreement. The Merger Agreement also provides that either party may specifically enforce the other party’s obligations under the Merger Agreement, provided that the Company may only cause Parent to fund the equity financing if certain conditions are satisfied, including the funding of the debt financing or such funding being required to be funded at the closing pursuant to the debt financing commitments if the equity financing is funded at the closing.

The Merger Agreement has been provided solely to inform investors of its terms. It is not intended to provide any other factual information about the Company. In particular, the representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Merger Agreement were made only for the purposes of the Merger Agreement as of specific dates, and solely for the benefit of the parties to the Merger Agreement. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Merger Agreement may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the parties to the Merger Agreement and may be qualified by certain confidential disclosures not reflected in the text of the Merger Agreement. Moreover, certain representations, warranties and covenants in the Merger Agreement may apply standards of materiality in a way that is different from what may be viewed as material by the Company’s stockholders or other investors, and may have been used for the purpose of allocating risk among the parties rather than establishing matters of fact. The Company’s stockholders and other investors are not third-party

4

beneficiaries under the Merger Agreement and should not rely on the representations, warranties and covenants or any descriptions thereof as characterizations of the actual state of facts or condition of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of the representations and warranties may change after the date of the Merger Agreement, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in the Company’s public disclosures.

The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the Merger Agreement, attached as Exhibit 2.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, which is incorporated herein by reference.

Participants in the Solicitation

The Company and its directors and executive officers may be deemed participants under SEC rules in the solicitation of proxies from the Company’s stockholders in favor of the proposed Merger.

Section 1.3 Effective Time. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, as soon as practicable following the fulfillment or waiver of all of the conditions set forth in Article V, on the Closing Date, the parties shall file the certificate of merger as contemplated by the DGCL (the “Certificate of Merger”) together with any required related certificates, filings and recordings, with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, in such form as required by, and executed in accordance with the relevant provisions of, the DGCL.

Section 1.8 Surrender of Certificates.

(a) Prior to the Closing Date, Parent shall select a reputable bank or trust company to act as payment agent in the Merger (the “Payment Agent”). On or prior to the Closing Date, Parent shall deposit, or shall cause to be deposited, with the Payment Agent, separate and apart from its other funds, for the purpose of exchanging Merger Consideration for Certificates and Book-Entry Shares (other than Certificates or Book-Entry Shares representing Excluded Shares or Dissenting Shares and excluding Company 102 Awards and Company 102 Shares, in respect of which payment shall be transferred directly to the 102 Trustee), cash sufficient to pay the aggregate Merger Consideration payable pursuant to Section 1.5. The cash amount so deposited with the Payment Agent is referred to as the “Payment Fund.” The Payment Agent will invest the funds included in the Payment Fund in the manner directed by Parent; provided, however, that such investments shall be in obligations of or guaranteed by the United States of America or any agency or instrumentality thereof and backed by the full faith and credit of the United States of America, in commercial paper obligations rated A-1 or P-1 or better by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. or Standard & Poor’s Corporation, respectively, or in certificates of deposit, bank repurchase agreements or banker’s acceptances of commercial banks with capital exceeding $1 billion (based on the most recent financial statements of such bank that are then publicly available). Any interest or other income resulting from the investment of such funds shall be the property of Parent.

(b) On or prior to the Closing Date, Parent shall deposit, or shall cause to be deposited, with the 102 Trustee, cash sufficient to pay the aggregate Merger Consideration payable with respect to Company Shares issued or issuable with respect to Company Equity Awards granted and subject to Tax under Section 102(b)(2) and Section 102(b)(3) of the ITO and held by the 102 Trustee (the “Company 102 Shares” and “Company 102 Awards,” respectively), on behalf of holders of Company 102 Awards in accordance with Section 102 of the ITO, the Interim Option Tax Ruling and the Option Tax Ruling, if obtained, pursuant to Section 4.20 (the “102 Amounts”). The 102 Amounts shall be held in trust by the 102 Trustee pursuant to the applicable provisions of Section 102 of the ITO, the Interim Option Tax Ruling and the Option Tax Ruling, if obtained, and shall be released by the 102 Trustee in accordance with the terms and conditions of Section 102 of the ITO and the Option Tax Ruling, if obtained.

(c) As promptly as practicable after the Effective Time, but in no event more than three (3) Business Days following the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall cause the Payment Agent to mail to each holder of record of Shares (as of immediately prior to the Effective Time) (A) a letter of transmittal (which shall be in customary form and shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates or Book-Entry Shares shall pass, only upon proper delivery of the Certificates or transfer of the Book-Entry Shares to the Payment Agent), (B) if the Interim Option Tax Ruling or the Option Tax Ruling or the Withholding Tax Ruling is/are obtained pursuant to Section 4.20, such form(s) of any other declaration required thereunder to be delivered by the holders of Company Shares and/or Company Equity Awards, in which the beneficial owner of Company Shares provides certain information necessary for Parent to determine, in its reasonable discretion, whether any amounts need to be withheld from the Merger Consideration payable to such beneficial owner pursuant to the terms of the ITO (in each case, subject to the provisions of this Section 1.8, Section 1.9, and Section 4.20), the Code, or any provision of state, local, Israeli or foreign Law, and/or (C) instructions for effecting the surrender of the Certificates or transfer of the Book-Entry Shares in exchange for the Merger Consideration.

6

(d) Each holder of shares of Company Common Stock (other than Excluded Shares or Dissenting Shares) shall, upon (A) surrender to the Payment Agent of Certificates for cancellation, together with such letter of transmittal, duly completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto, such other documents as may be required pursuant to such instructions, and the applicable declaration for Tax withholding purposes and/or a Valid Tax Certificate, or (B) compliance with the reasonable procedures established by the Payment Agent for delivery of Book-Entry Shares, shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor, the aggregate Merger Consideration in respect thereof and the Certificates so surrendered and Book-Entry Shares so transferred shall forthwith be canceled, subject to Section 1.9 and Section 4.20. No interest will be paid or accrued on any amount payable upon due surrender of the Certificates or due transfer of the Book-Entry Shares. The Payment Agent shall accept such Certificates and Book-Entry Shares upon compliance with such reasonable terms and conditions as the Payment Agent may impose to effect an orderly exchange thereof in accordance with normal exchange practices. Until so surrendered or delivered, as the case may be, each such Certificate or Book-Entry Share shall represent after the Effective Time for all purposes only the right to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to this Article I. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Merger Consideration payable in respect of Company 102 Shares and Company 102 Awards shall be transferred by Parent to the 102 Trustee, for the benefit of the beneficial owners thereof, and be released by the 102 Trustee to the beneficial holders of such Company 102 Shares, in accordance with the requirements of Section 102 of the ITO and the Interim Option Tax Ruling and the Option Tax Ruling, in accordance with this Section 1.8(d).

(e) In the event any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if reasonably required by Parent, the posting by such Person of a bond in customary amount as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, the Payment Agent will issue the Merger Consideration in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate. Delivery of such affidavit and the posting of such bond shall be deemed delivery of a Certificate with respect to the relevant Common Shares for purposes of this Article I.

(f) In the event of a transfer of ownership of Shares that is not registered in the transfer records of the Company, payment of the Merger Consideration in respect of the applicable Shares may be made to a Person other than the Person in whose name the Certificates so surrendered or the Book-Entry Shares so transferred are registered if such Certificates shall be properly endorsed or otherwise be in proper form for transfer or such Book-Entry Shares shall be properly transferred and, in each case, the Person requesting such payment shall pay any transfer or other Taxes required by reason of the payment of the Merger Consideration in respect thereof or establish to the reasonable satisfaction of the Surviving Corporation and the Payment Agent that such Tax has been paid or is not applicable.

(g) Any portion of the Payment Fund that remains unclaimed or undistributed to holders of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares as of the date that is one (1) year after the Closing Date shall be delivered to or as directed by the Surviving Corporation upon demand, and

7

any such holder who has not previously complied with this Article I shall thereafter look only to the Surviving Corporation for payment of any such holder’s claim for the Merger Consideration, without any interest thereon. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, neither Parent nor the Surviving Corporation shall be liable to any holder of any Certificate or to any other Person with respect to any Merger Consideration delivered to any public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property Law, escheat Law or similar Law. Any amounts remaining unclaimed by holders of shares of Company Common Stock immediately prior to such time when the amounts would otherwise escheat to or become property of any Governmental Authority shall become, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, the property of the Surviving Corporation free and clear of any claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.

(h) Any portion of the Payment Fund made available to the Payment Agent to pay for Dissenting Shares shall be returned to the Surviving Corporation upon Demand.

Section 1.9 Withholding Rights.

(a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, each of the Payment Agent, 102 Trustee, Merger Sub, Parent and the Surviving Corporation (each, a “Payor”) shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the Merger Consideration or other amounts otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as it reasonably determines are required to be deducted or withheld and paid over to the appropriate Tax Authority by Payment Agent, Merger Sub, Parent and the Surviving Corporation, from such consideration under the Code, ITO, or any provision of state, local or foreign 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 under this Agreement as having been paid to the Person to whom such amounts would otherwise have been paid.

(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 1.9(a), with respect to Israeli Taxes, the Merger Consideration (together with any adjustment) payable to each payment recipient (other than holders of Company 102 Shares, Company 102 Awards and Company Awards subject to Tax pursuant to Section 3(i) of the ITO) shall be retained by the applicable Payor for the benefit of each such payment recipient for a period of one-hundred eighty (180) days from the Closing Date or an earlier date required in writing by a payment recipient (the “Withholding Drop Date”) (during which time unless requested otherwise by the ITA or by the Withholding Tax Ruling, no payments shall be made by a Payor to any payment recipient and no amounts for Israeli Taxes shall be withheld from the payments deliverable pursuant to this Agreement, except as provided below and during which time each payment recipient may obtain a Valid Tax Certificate). If a payment recipient delivers, no later than three (3) Business Days prior to the Withholding Drop Date, a Valid Tax Certificate to a Payor, then the deduction and withholding of any Israeli Taxes shall be made only in accordance with the provisions of such Valid Tax Certificate and the balance of the payment that is not withheld shall be paid to such payment recipient (subject to withholding on account of non-Israeli Taxes, if applicable). If any payment recipient (i) does not provide a Payor with a Valid Tax Certificate by no later than three (3) Business Days before the Withholding Drop Date, or (ii) submits a written request to the Payor to release such payment recipient’s portion of the Merger Consideration (together with any adjustment) prior to the Withholding Drop Date and fails to submit a Valid Tax Certificate no later than three (3) Business Days before such time, then the amount to be withheld from such

8

payment recipient’s portion of the Merger Consideration (together with any adjustment) shall be calculated according to the applicable withholding rate as reasonably determined by Payor in accordance with applicable Law, which amount shall be increased by the interest plus linkage differences as defined in Section 159A of the ITO for the time period between the fifteenth (15th) calendar day of the month following the month during which the Closing Date occurs and the time the relevant payment is made, and calculated in NIS based on a U.S. dollars to NIS exchange rate not lower than the effective exchange rate at the Closing Date.

(c) Any withholding made in New Israeli Shekels with respect to payments made hereunder in U.S. dollars shall be calculated based on a conversion rate not lower than applicable rate on the Closing Date and in such a manner as the Parent reasonably determines to be in compliance with the applicable Law and any currency conversion commissions will be borne by the applicable payment recipient and deducted from payments to be made to such payment recipient.

(d) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 1.9(a) or Section 1.9(b), no amounts will be deducted or withheld under the ITO in connection with payments of any Merger Consideration made to non-Israeli residents that hold Company Equity Awards; provided that such payment recipients provide Payor prior to any payment to them with a valid and executed declaration regarding their non-Israeli residence, in the form agreed to by Parent and the Company. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of Section 1.9(a), Section 1.9(b), and Section 1.9(c) with respect to withholding Taxes pursuant to the ITO shall apply with respect to payments of any consideration made to non-Israeli residents that hold Company Equity Awards subject to Tax under Section 102(b)(2) and Section 102(b)(3) of the ITO if such payment recipients fail to provide Payor with such declaration.

Section 1.10 Appraisal Rights.

(a) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Dissenting Shares shall not be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration as provided in Section 1.5(a)(i), but rather, the holders of Dissenting Shares shall be entitled only to payment of the appraisal value of such Dissenting Shares in accordance with the provisions of Section 262 of the DGCL less any applicable Taxes required to be withheld in accordance with Section 1.9 with respect to such payment (and, at the Effective Time, such Dissenting Shares shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and shall cease to exist, and such holders shall cease to have any right with respect thereto, except the right to receive the appraisal value of such Dissenting Shares in accordance with the provisions of Section 262 of the DGCL); provided, that, if any such holder shall fail to perfect or otherwise shall waive, withdraw or lose the right to appraisal under Section 262 of the DGCL, then the right of such holder to be paid the fair value of such holder’s Dissenting Shares shall cease and such Dissenting Shares shall be deemed to have been converted as of the Effective Time into, and to have become exchangeable solely for, the right to receive the Merger Consideration (without interest thereon) as provided in Section 1.5(a)(i).

(b) The Company shall give Parent: (i) prompt written notice of (A) any demand for appraisal received by the Company prior to the Effective Time pursuant to the DGCL or any other written communication with the Company that relates to a demand for

9

appraisal or payment with respect to Dissenting Shares; (B) any withdrawal or attempted withdrawal of any such demand; and (C) any other demand, notice or instrument delivered to the Company prior to the Effective Time pursuant to the DGCL; and (ii) the opportunity to participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to any such demand, notice or instrument. The Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of Parent, make any payment or settlement offer or settle any such demands prior to the Effective Time with respect to any such demand, notice or instrument. Each holder of Dissenting Shares who becomes entitled under Section 262 of the DGCL to receive payment of the “fair value” for such holder’s shares shall receive such payment therefor from the Surviving Corporation after giving effect to any withholdings received by applicable Law (but only after the amount thereof shall have been finally determined pursuant to the DGCL), and such shares shall be retired and cancelled.

Section 1.11 Further Action. If, at any time after the Effective Time, any further action is determined by Parent to be necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement or to vest the Surviving Corporation with full right, title and possession of and to all rights and property of Merger Sub and the Company, the officers and directors of the Surviving Corporation and Parent shall be fully authorized (in the name of Merger Sub, in the name of the Company and otherwise) to take and shall take such action.

or breach on the part of Merger Sub, Parent or Sponsor and (in the case of the Debt Commitment Papers only, to the Knowledge of Merger Sub and Parent) any of the other parties thereto, under any term of the Financing Commitment, (y) result in a failure of any condition of the Financing Commitments, or (z) result in any portion of the Financing contemplated thereby to be unavailable in an amount equal to the Required Amount, Merger Sub and Parent have fully paid (or caused to be fully paid) any and all commitment fees or other fees or deposits required by the Financing Commitments to be paid on or before the date hereof and will fully pay (or cause to be fully paid) any and all commitment fees or other fees or deposits required by the Financing Commitments to be paid after the date hereof. Assuming (i) the Financing is funded in accordance with the applicable Financing Commitments and (ii) the satisfaction of the conditions to Parent’s obligation to consummate the Merger (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at Closing), the aggregate net proceeds of the Financing (including after giving effect to the maximum amount of flex, including original issue discount flex, contemplated by the Debt Commitment Papers), when combined with Parent’s and Merger Sub’s other sources of funds, will be sufficient for the satisfaction of all of Merger Sub’s and Parent’s obligations under this Agreement to be satisfied at or after Closing on the terms contemplated hereby, including the payment of the aggregate Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 1.8, all amounts to be paid pursuant to Section 1.6, the payment of all associated fees, costs and expenses and all other amounts (including the amount necessary to cause the Debt Payoff), in each case, required to be paid by Parent or Merger Sub at Closing pursuant to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby (the “Required Amount”). There are no conditions precedent or other contingencies related to the funding or investing, as applicable, of the full amount of the Financing in an amount equal to the Required Amount or that would permit the parties thereunder to reduce the total amount of the Financing to an amount less than the Required Amount, in each case other than as expressly set forth in the Financing Commitments. Assuming the satisfaction of the conditions to Parent’s obligation to consummate the Merger (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing), as of the date hereof, neither Merger Sub nor Parent has any reason to believe that any of the conditions to the Financing will not be satisfied or that the full amount of the Financing will not be available to Merger Sub on the date of the Closing or of any fact, occurrence or condition that makes any of the assumptions or statements set forth in the Financing Commitments inaccurate in any material respect.

Section 3.10 Guarantee. Concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, Parent has delivered to the Company the Guarantee duly executed by the Guarantors with respect to certain matters on the terms specified therein. The Guarantee is in full force and effect and constitutes a valid, binding and enforceable obligation of the Guarantors in favor of the Company (except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent transfer and similar Laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors’ rights or by general equity principles), and no event has occurred, which, with or without notice, lapse of time or both, would constitute a default on the part of a Guarantor under such Guarantee.

Section 3.11 Solvency. Neither Merger Sub nor Parent is entering into this Agreement with the intent to hinder, delay or defraud either present or future creditors of the Company and/or the Company Subsidiaries. Assuming the satisfaction (or waiver) of the conditions to Parent’s and Merger Sub’s obligations to consummate the Merger as set forth herein, and after

35

giving effect to the Transactions, and payment of the aggregate Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 1.8, all amounts to be paid pursuant to Section 1.6, the payment of all associated fees, costs and expenses of the Merger and the Financing (including (i) any repayment or refinancing of Indebtedness of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries required in connection therewith and (ii) after giving effect to the maximum amount of flex, including original issue discount flex, contemplated by the Debt Commitment Papers) and the payment of all other amounts required to be paid in connection with the consummation of the Transactions and to allow Merger Sub and Parent to perform all of their obligations under this Agreement, and assuming the satisfaction of the conditions to Merger Sub’s and Parent’s obligations to consummate the Merger, the Surviving Corporation will be Solvent as of and after the Effective Time. For the purposes of this Agreement, the term “Solvent” means that, as of any date of determination and with respect to any Person: (a) the fair value of the assets of such Person and its Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, is greater than the total amount of liabilities, including contingent liabilities, of such Person and its Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, (b) the present fair saleable value of the assets of such Person and its Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, is not less than the amount that will be required to pay the probable liability of such Person and its Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, on their debts and liabilities as they become absolute and matured, (c) such Person and its Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, are not engaged in business or a transaction, and are not about to engage in business or a transaction, for which such Person’s and its Subsidiaries’ assets, on a consolidated basis, would constitute unreasonably small capital, and (d) such Person and its Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, do not intend to, and do not believe that they will, incur debts or liabilities beyond their ability to pay such debts and liabilities as they mature; provided, however, for the purposes hereof, the amount of any contingent liability at any time shall be computed as the amount that, in light of all of the facts and circumstances existing at such time, represents the amount that can reasonably be expected to become an actual or matured liability (irrespective of whether such contingent liabilities meet the criteria for accrual under Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 5).

Section 3.12 Ownership of Company Common Stock. None of Merger Sub or Parent or any of their “affiliates” or “associates” is, or at any time during the last three (3) years has been, an “interested stockholder” of the Company as defined in Section 203 of the DGCL. Prior to the Agreement Date, neither Parent nor Merger Sub has taken, or authorized or permitted any Representatives of Parent or Merger Sub to take, any action that would reasonably be expected to cause, Parent, Merger Sub or any of their “affiliates” or “associates” to be deemed an “interested stockholder” as defined in Section 203 of the DGCL.

Parent shall cooperate with the Company in connection with the preparation of the Proxy Statement and shall furnish all information concerning Parent, Merger Sub and their Affiliates as the Company may reasonably request in connection with the preparation of the Proxy Statement. The Company shall use reasonable best efforts to have the Proxy Statement cleared by the SEC as promptly as reasonably practicable after such filing. The Company will use reasonable best efforts to cause the Proxy Statement to be mailed to the stockholders of the Company as promptly as reasonably practicable after the Proxy Statement is cleared by the SEC.

(b) The Company shall promptly notify Parent of (i) the receipt of any comments from the SEC and all other written correspondence and oral communications with the

40

SEC relating to the Proxy Statement and (ii) any request by the SEC for any amendment or supplement to the Proxy Statement or for additional information with respect thereto and, in each case of clauses (i) and (ii), the Company shall promptly provide Parent with copies of all correspondence between it and its Representatives, on the one hand, and the SEC, on the other hand. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to respond as promptly as reasonably practicable to any comments from the SEC with respect to the Proxy Statement. All filings by the Company with the SEC in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, including the Proxy Statement and any amendment or supplement thereto and any response to any comments of the SEC with respect thereto, shall be subject to the reasonable prior review and comment of Parent, and all mailings to the stockholders of the Company in connection with the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be subject to the reasonable prior review and comment of Parent and, in each case, the Company shall consider in good faith all comments reasonably proposed by Parent. The Company shall not file or mail any document relating to the Company Stockholders’ Meeting or respond to the SEC prior to receiving the approval of Parent, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

(c) If at any time prior to the Effective Time any information relating to the Company, Parent or Merger Sub, or any of their respective Affiliates, directors or officers, is discovered by the Company, Parent or Merger Sub, which should be set forth in an amendment or supplement to the Proxy Statement so that the Proxy Statement would not include any misstatement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, the party which discovers such information shall promptly notify the other parties and an appropriate amendment or supplement describing such information shall be promptly filed with the SEC and, to the extent required by applicable Law, disseminated to the stockholders of the Company.

Section 4.4 Company Stockholders’ Meeting. The Company shall, in accordance with its Company Charter Documents and applicable Law (and regardless of whether there has occurred Change in Company Board Recommendation), as promptly as reasonably practicable following the date on which the staff of the SEC confirms that it has no further comments on the Proxy Statement or that it does not intend to review the Proxy Statement, duly call, give notice of, convene and hold the Company Stockholders’ Meeting for the purpose of seeking the Company Stockholder Approval. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to (i) cause the Proxy Statement to be mailed to the stockholders of the Company and to hold the Company Stockholders’ Meeting as promptly as reasonably practicable following the date on which the staff of the SEC confirms that it has no further comments on the Proxy Statement or that it does not intend to review the Proxy Statement and (ii) subject to Section 4.5, solicit the Company Stockholder Approval. The Company shall, through the Company Board, recommend to its stockholders that they vote their shares in favor of the Merger (the “Company Board Recommendation”) and shall include such Company Board Recommendation in the Proxy Statement, except to the extent that the Company Board shall have made a Change in Company Board Recommendation as permitted by Section 4.5. The Company agrees that its obligation to hold the Company Stockholders’ Meeting pursuant to this Section 4.4 shall not be affected by the commencement, public proposal, public disclosure or communication to the Company of any Acquisition Proposal or by the making of any Change in Company Board Recommendation by

41

the Company Board, and nothing contained herein shall be deemed to relieve the Company of such obligation, subject to the ability of the Company Board to take the actions set forth in Section 4.5(f). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, unless the Company Board shall have effected a Change in Company Board Recommendation pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of Section 4.5, then the Company Board shall submit this Agreement to the Company’s stockholders without a recommendation (although the resolutions adopting this Agreement as of the date of this Agreement may not be rescinded or amended), in which event the Company Board may communicate the basis for its lack of a recommendation to the Company’s stockholders in the Proxy Statement or an appropriate amendment or supplement thereto to the extent required by applicable Law. The Company shall not adjourn, postpone or recess the Company Stockholders’ Meeting without the prior written consent of Parent and shall adjourn, postpone or recess such meeting as directed by Parent in order to obtain a quorum or solicit additional votes (so long as such meeting is not adjourned, postponed or recessed to a date on or after the Outside Date). The Company shall not, unless required by applicable Law, change the record date for the Company Shareholders’ Meeting without the prior written consent of Parent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) and any postponement or adjournment of the Company Shareholders’ Meeting shall be effected, to the extent practicable, in a manner that does not require the Company to establish a new record date. The Company shall, upon the reasonable request of Parent, use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the applicable proxy solicitor of the Company to advise Parent on a daily basis on each of the last ten Business Days prior to the date of the Company Shareholders’ Meeting, as to the aggregate tally of the proxies received by the Company with respect to the Company Shareholder Approval.

With respect to any Person or group with whom such discussions or negotiations have been terminated, the Company shall terminate such Persons’ access to any data room containing the Company’s or any Company Subsidiaries’ confidential information and use its reasonable best efforts to promptly require such Person or group to promptly return or destroy in accordance with the terms of the applicable confidentiality agreement any information furnished by or on behalf of the Company.

(c) Except as may relate to any Excluded Party (for so long as such Person or group is an Excluded Party, and except with respect to clauses (iv) and (v) below) or as expressly permitted by this Section 4.5, from the No-Shop Period Start Date continuing until the earlier to occur of the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 6.1 and the receipt of the Company Stockholder Approval, the Company and the Company Subsidiaries shall not, and the Company shall cause its and the Company Subsidiaries’ Representatives not to, directly or indirectly, (i) solicit, initiate, cause or induce the making, submission or announcement of, or knowingly encourage, facilitate or assist, an

(f) The Company Board shall not: (A) fail to make, withhold, withdraw, amend, qualify or modify in a manner adverse to Parent, or publicly propose to withhold, withdraw, amend, qualify or modify in a manner adverse to Parent, the Company Board Recommendation (including any failure to include the Company Board Recommendation in the Proxy Statement, when mailed); (B) adopt, approve, recommend, endorse or otherwise declare advisable (or make any public announcement of its decision to adopt, approve, recommend or otherwise declare advisable) the adoption of any Acquisition Proposal; (C) recommend, adopt, approve, or declare advisable, or propose to recommend, adopt, approve or declare advisable, or

44

allow the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries to execute or enter into, any Company Acquisition Agreement (other than an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement); (D) enter into any agreement, letter of intent, or agreement in principle requiring the Company to abandon, terminate or fail to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby or breach its obligations hereunder; (E) subject to Section 4.5(h), fail to recommend against any Acquisition Proposal within ten (10) Business Days after the commencement of such Acquisition Proposal; or (F) fail to include the Company Board Recommendation in the Proxy Statement or reaffirm such Company Board Recommendation at the request of Parent within five (5) Business Days (each being referred to as a “Change in Company Board Recommendation”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company Board may, at any time prior to the receipt of the Company Stockholder Approval, take any of the actions set forth in Section 4.5(f)(i)-(iii) below; provided, however, that prior to taking any such action, the Company complies with Section 4.5(g) of this Agreement:

(ii) effect a Change in Company Board Recommendation in response to an Acquisition Proposal if the Company Board concludes in good faith, after consultation with outside counsel, that the failure to take such action would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law and the Company Board concludes in good faith, after consultation with the Company’s financial advisor, that the Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal; and

(iii) terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 6.1(d)(iii) (and, if applicable, enter into a Company Acquisition Agreement), if the Company receives an Acquisition Proposal that the Company Board concludes in good faith, after consultation with the Company’s financial advisor, constitutes a Superior Proposal and the Company Board concludes in good faith, after consultation with outside counsel, that the failure to enter into such definitive agreement would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law.

(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 4.5(f), the Company shall not be entitled to: (i) make a Change in Company Board Recommendation pursuant to Section 4.5(f)(i) or Section 4.5(f)(ii); or (ii) terminate this Agreement (and, if applicable, enter into any Company Acquisition Agreement) pursuant to Section 4.5(f)(iii), unless in all such instances: (A) the Company shall have first provided prior written notice to Parent that it is prepared to (x) make a Change in Company Board Recommendation (a “Recommendation Change Notice”), or (y) terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 6.1(d)(iii) in response to a Superior Proposal (a “Superior Proposal Notice”), which notice shall, if the basis for the proposed action by the Company Board is not related to a Superior Proposal, contain a description of the events, facts and circumstances giving rise to such proposed action or, if the basis for the proposed action by the Company Board is a Superior Proposal, contain a description of the material terms and conditions of such Superior Proposal, including a copy of

45

the Company Acquisition Agreement in the form to be entered into (it being understood and agreed that the delivery of such notice shall not, in and of itself, be deemed to be a Change in Company Board Recommendation); and (B) Parent does not make, within three (3) Business Days after the receipt of such notice, a binding proposal that would, in the good-faith judgment of the Company Board (after consultation with outside counsel and, in the case of a Superior Proposal, the Company’s financial advisor), cause such events, facts and circumstances to no longer form the basis for the Company Board to effect a Change in Company Board Recommendation or cause the offer previously constituting a Superior Proposal to no longer constitute a Superior Proposal, as the case may be; provided that during this three (3) Business Day period the Company and its representatives shall, to the extent Parent desires to negotiate, negotiate in good faith with Parent and its representatives. Any material changes with respect to events, facts and circumstances mentioned above, or material changes to the financial terms of such Superior Proposal, as the case may be, occurring prior to the Company’s effecting a Change in Company Board Recommendation or terminating this Agreement pursuant to Section 6.1(d)(iii) shall require the Company to provide to Parent a new Recommendation Change Notice or Superior Proposal Notice and a new three (3) Business Day period.

(h) Nothing contained in this Section 4.5 or elsewhere in this Agreement shall prohibit the Company from complying with Rules 14a-9, 14d-9, Rule 14e-2(a) and Item 1012(a) of Regulation M-A promulgated under the Exchange Act or making any disclosure to the Company’s stockholders with regard to an Acquisition Proposal if, in the good-faith judgment of the Company Board, after consultation with outside counsel, failure to so disclose would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law; provided, that any such action taken or statement made that relates to an Acquisition Proposal (other than a customary “stop, look and listen” communication by the Company Board pursuant to Rule 14d-9(f) of the Exchange Act) shall be deemed to be a Change in Company Board Recommendation unless the Company Board reaffirms the Company Recommendation in such statement or in connection with such action.

Section 4.6 Consents; Filings; Reasonable Best Efforts.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement (including the limitations set forth in Section 4.5), the parties hereto will use their respective commercially reasonable best efforts to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and to cause the conditions to the Merger set forth in Article V to be satisfied, including using commercially reasonable best efforts to make or cause to be made, in cooperation with the other parties hereto and to the extent applicable: (i) within ten (10) Business Days after the Agreement Date, an appropriate filing of a Notification and Report Form pursuant to the HSR Act with respect to the Merger; and (ii) as promptly as practicable after the Agreement Date all other necessary filings, forms, declarations, notifications, registrations and notices with other Governmental Authorities under any other Antitrust Law relating to the Merger.

46

expiration or termination of the applicable waiting periods under the HSR Act or any other Antitrust Law relating to the Merger. In connection with the foregoing, each party hereto shall use its commercially reasonable best efforts: (w) to give the other party reasonable prior notice of any communication with, and any proposed understanding or agreement with, any Governmental Authority regarding any investigations, proceedings, filings, forms, declarations, notifications, registrations or notices, and permit the other to review and discuss in advance, and consider in good faith the views of the other in connection with, any proposed communication, understanding or agreement with any Governmental Authority, in each case under any Antitrust Law relating to the Merger, subject to advice of such party’s antitrust counsel; (x) not to participate in any meeting or conversation, or engage in any substantive conversation with any Governmental Authority in respect of any filings or inquiry under any Antitrust Law relating to the Merger, without giving the other party prior notice of the meeting or conversation and, unless prohibited by such Governmental Authority, the opportunity to attend and/or participate therein; (y) if attending a meeting, conference, or conversation with a Governmental Authority under any Antitrust Law relating to the Merger, from which the other party is prohibited by applicable Law or by the applicable Governmental Authority from participating in or attending, to keep the other reasonably apprised with respect thereto; and (z) to consult and cooperate with the other party in connection with any information or proposals submitted in connection with any proceeding, inquiry, or other proceeding under any Antitrust Law relating to the Merger. Without limiting the foregoing, the Company and Parent shall each use its commercially reasonable best efforts: (1) to avoid the entry of any Governmental Order; and (2) to eliminate every impediment under any Antitrust Law that may be asserted by any Governmental Authority so as to enable the Effective Time to occur as soon as reasonably possible (and in any event, not later than the Outside Date). Any fees and expenses (other than the attorney’s, advisor’s and agent’s fees) payable under the filings, registrations and declarations with Governmental Authorities relating to the transactions contemplated hereby shall be borne equally by the Company and Parent.

(b) Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, each of Merger Sub, Parent and the Company shall use its commercially reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, and to assist and cooperate with the other party or parties hereto in doing, all things reasonably necessary, proper or advisable under applicable Law to consummate and make effective, in the most expeditious manner practicable, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including using commercially reasonable best efforts to obtain and maintain all necessary actions or non-actions, waivers, consents, approvals, orders and authorizations from all Governmental Authorities or other third parties and make all necessary registrations, declarations and filings with all Governmental Authorities or other third parties, including but not limited to the Innovation Authority and the Investment Center that are necessary to consummate the Offer and the Merger. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Parent shall have control over and lead all communications and strategy relating to obtaining all such actions or non-actions, waivers, consents, approvals, orders, authorizations, registrations, declarations and filings.

(c) For purposes of Section 4.6(a), “commercially reasonable best efforts” shall include (I) contesting and resisting any Legal Proceeding, and to have vacated, lifted, reversed or overturned any Governmental Order that restricts, prevents or prohibits the consummation of the Merger or any other transactions contemplated by this Agreement under any applicable Law; and (II) the obligation by Parent, Merger Sub, and any of their Subsidiaries

47

to offer and consent to, and thereafter to implement, any of the following measures if doing so would enable the parties to avoid, resolve, or lift a Governmental Order or Legal Proceeding or to obtain any Governmental Approval: (i) make any payment to any Governmental Authority as required by applicable Law or the terms of any governmental grant, authorization or permit, (ii) sell, license, assign, transfer, divest, hold separate or otherwise dispose of any assets, business or portion of business of the Company, the Surviving Corporation, Parent, Merger Sub or any of their respective Subsidiaries, (iii) conduct, restrict, operate, invest or otherwise change the assets, business or portion of business of the Company, the Surviving Corporation, Parent, Merger Sub or any of their respective Subsidiaries in any manner, or (iv) impose any restriction, requirement or limitation on the operation of the business or portion of the business of the Company, the Surviving Corporation, Parent, Merger Sub or any of their respective Subsidiaries. Neither Parent nor Merger Sub shall take or cause to be taken any action that it is aware or reasonably should be aware would have the effect of delaying, impairing or impeding the receipt of any Governmental Approvals.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, all obligations of Parent or Merger Sub to obtain the Financing will be governed exclusively by Section 4.15 and not this Section 4.6.

Section 4.7 Public Announcements. The initial press release with respect to the execution and delivery of this Agreement shall be a joint press release to be reasonably agreed upon by Parent and the Company. Except as permitted in accordance with Section 4.5, Parent and the Company shall thereafter consult with each other before issuing, and, to the extent practicable, give each other the reasonable opportunity to review and comment upon, any press release or other public statements with respect to the Merger and consider in good faith the views of the other party, and shall not issue any such press release or make any such public statement prior to such consultation, except as may be required by applicable Law, court process or by obligations pursuant to any listing agreement with or rules of any securities exchange or trading market on which securities of Parent or the Company are listed, in which case the party required to make the release or announcement shall use reasonable best efforts to allow the other party or parties hereto reasonable time to comment on such release or announcement in advance of such issuance (it being understood that the final form and content of any such release or announcement, as well as the timing of any such release or announcement, shall be at the final discretion of the disclosing party).

Section 4.8 Director and Officer Liability.

(a) From and after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall: (i) indemnify, defend and hold harmless, against any costs or expenses (including attorney’s fees and expenses and disbursements), judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages or liabilities incurred in connection with any claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, and provide advancement of expenses to, all past and present directors and officers of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries (in all of their capacities) to the same extent such persons are indemnified or have the right to advancement of expenses as of the Agreement Date by the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries pursuant to the Company Charter Documents, other charter and organizational documents of the Company’s Subsidiaries and the indemnification agreements in existence on the date hereof with

48

any directors and officers of the Company and any of the Company Subsidiaries; and (ii) include and cause to be maintained in effect in the Surviving Corporation’s (or any successor’s) charter and bylaws for a period of six (6) years after the Closing, the current provisions regarding elimination of liability of directors, indemnification of officers, directors and employees and advancement of expenses contained in the Company Charter Documents.

(b) If the Surviving Corporation or any of its successors or assigns (i) shall consolidate with or merge into any other corporations or entity and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger; or (ii) shall transfer all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any individual, corporation or other entity, then and in each such case, proper provisions shall be made so that the successors and assigns of the Surviving Corporation shall assume all of the obligations set forth in this Section 4.8.

(c) Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall purchase a six (6) year “tail” prepaid policy on terms and conditions no less advantageous to the indemnified parties, or any other person entitled to the benefit of this Section 4.8, as applicable, than the existing directors’ and officers’ liability (and fiduciary) insurance maintained by the Company, covering, without limitation, the Merger and Merger Sub and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to maintain such “tail” prepaid policy in full force and effect for six (6) years after the Closing; provided, however that (y) in no event shall the Company or the Surviving Corporation be required or permitted to expend for such policies pursuant to this sentence an aggregate amount in excess of 300% of the last annual premium paid by the Company prior to the date hereof in respect of such coverage, and (z) if the aggregate premiums of such insurance coverage exceed such amount and the Company or the Surviving Corporation, as applicable, shall obtain a policy in accordance with this sentence, such policy shall provide the greatest coverage available, with respect to matters occurring prior to the Effective Time, for a cost not exceeding such amount.

(d) Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective Subsidiaries, as the case may be, to assume, honor and fulfill all obligations of the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries pursuant to any written indemnification agreements with the indemnified parties, or any other person entitled to the benefit of this Section 4.8, as applicable.

Section 4.9 Director Resignations. The Company shall provide Parent with a correct and complete list of the directors and officers of the Company and each of the Company Subsidiaries at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the Closing.

Section 4.10 Notification of Certain Events. Each of the Company and Parent shall, as promptly as reasonably practicable, notify the other:

(a) upon becoming aware that any representation or warranty made by it in this Agreement has become untrue or inaccurate in any material respect, or of any failure of such Person to comply with or satisfy in any material respect any covenant, condition or agreement to be complied with or satisfied by it under this Agreement; provided, however, that no such

49

notification shall affect or be deemed to modify any representation or warrant of such party set forth herein or the conditions to the obligations of the other party to consummate the Merger, or the remedies available to the parties hereto, and provided further, that failure to give any such notice shall not be treated as a breach of covenant for the purposes of Section 6.1(c)(ii) or Section 6.1(d) of this Agreement, as applicable;

(b) to the extent the Company has Knowledge of such notice or communication or the Parent has Knowledge of such notice or communication, as the case may be, of any written communication from any Person alleging that the consent of such Person is or may be required in connection with the Merger;

Prior to the Effective Date, the Company shall take all such steps as may be required to cause the transactions contemplated by Article I, and any other dispositions of equity securities (including derivative securities) of the Company by each individual who is or will be subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act with respect to the Company, to be exempt under Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act.

Section 4.13 Employee Matters.

(a) For purposes of this Section 4.13, (i) the term “Covered Employees” means employees who are actively employed by the Company or any Company Subsidiary at the Effective Time; and (ii) the term “Continuation Period” means the period beginning at the Effective Time and ending on the first anniversary of the Effective Time.

50

(b) During the Continuation Period, Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation or any Company Subsidiary to, provide to the Covered Employees for so long as such Covered Employees remain employees of Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any Company Subsidiary during the Continuation Period, compensation (such term to include salary, annual cash bonus opportunities, commissions and severance) and benefits (including the costs thereof to Company Employee Benefit Plan participants) that are in the aggregate, no less favorable than the compensation (excluding any equity or equity-based compensation, retention, change of control, transaction or similar bonuses, and nonqualified deferred compensation) and benefits (excluding, any defined benefit pension plan or retiree medical benefits) being provided to Covered Employees immediately prior to the Effective Time, except as contemplated prior to the date hereof pursuant to a restructuring plan or otherwise.

(c) During the Continuation Period, Parent shall maintain or cause the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries to maintain employee benefit plans, programs, policies and arrangements for Covered Employees that are substantially similar in the aggregate to the Company Employee Benefit Plans (other than long-term incentives, change in control, retention, transition, stay or similar arrangements) that were in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, except as contemplated prior to the date hereof pursuant to a restructuring plan or otherwise.

(d) In the event any Covered Employee first becomes eligible to participate under any employee benefit plan, program, policy, or arrangement of Parent or the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective Subsidiaries (“Parent Employee Benefit Plan”) following the Effective Time, Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to use commercially reasonable efforts to, for Covered Employees who become eligible during the calendar year including the Effective Time: (i) waive any preexisting condition exclusions and waiting periods with respect to participation and coverage requirements applicable to any Covered Employee under any Parent Employee Benefit Plan providing medical, dental, or vision benefits to the same extent such limitation would have been waived or satisfied under the Company Employee Benefit Plan the Covered Employee participated in immediately prior to coverage under the Parent Employee Benefit Plan; and (ii) provide each Covered Employee with credit for any copayments and deductibles paid prior to the Covered Employee’s coverage under any Parent Employee Benefit Plan during the calendar year in which such amount was paid, to the same extent such credit was given under the employee benefit plan Covered Employee participated in immediately prior to coverage under the Parent Employee Benefit Plan, in satisfying any applicable deductible or out-of-pocket requirements under the Parent Employee Benefit Plan.

(e) As of the Effective Time, Parent shall recognize, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation and their respective Subsidiaries to recognize, all service of each Covered Employee prior to the Effective Time, to the Company (or any predecessor entities of the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries) for vesting and eligibility purposes (but not for benefit accrual purposes, except for vacation and severance, as applicable) to the same extent as such Covered Employee was entitled, before the Effective Time, to credit for such service under any similar Company Plan in which such Covered Employee participated immediately prior to the Effective Time. In no event shall anything contained in this Section 4.13(e) result in any duplication of benefits for the same period of service.

51

(f) Notwithstanding the generality of the foregoing, as of the Effective Time, Parent shall, and shall cause the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries to, honor in accordance with their terms and, in each case, subject to Section 4.13(h), all employment, change in control, severance and other compensation plans and agreements existing immediately prior to the execution of this Agreement, which are between the Company or any Company Subsidiary and any director, officer or employee thereof or maintained by the Company or any Company Subsidiary (each, a “Company Agreement”). Parent and the Company hereby agree that the occurrence of the Effective Time shall constitute a “Change in Control” for purposes of all Company Agreements and all Company Benefit Plans in which the term is relevant.

(g) To the extent the Company has failed to properly file any Form 5500 Annual Return/Report with respect to any Company Employee Benefit Plan (including any terminated plan), the Company shall, prior to the Effective Time, take all necessary and appropriate corrective action through the Department of Labor’s Delinquent Filer Voluntary Correction Program to correct such failure.

(h) Nothing in this Section 4.13 shall (i) be construed to create any third-party beneficiary rights; (ii) be construed to limit the right of Parent, the Company, or any of the Company Subsidiaries (including, following the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation) to amend or terminate any Company Plan or other employee benefit plan, to the extent such amendment or termination is permitted by the terms of the applicable plan, or (iii) be construed to require Parent, the Company, or any of the Company Subsidiaries (including, following the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation) to retain the employment of any particular Person for any fixed period of time following the Effective Time.

The Confidentiality Agreement shall automatically terminate at the Effective Time without further action by any party thereto.

Section 4.15 Financing.

(a) Each of Merger Sub and Parent shall use their respective reasonable best efforts to consummate and obtain the proceeds of the Financing on the terms and conditions (including the flex provisions) described in the Financing Commitments (as replaced, amended, supplemented, modified, waived or superseded to the extent not prohibited by Section 4.15(b) below) on a timely basis to facilitate the Closing when required by Section 1.2, including using their respective reasonable best efforts to: (i) to maintain in effect the Financing Commitments until the Transactions are consummated, (ii) enforce (including through specific performance, litigation or other appropriate proceedings, each of the foregoing pursued in good faith) its rights under the Debt Commitment Papers, (iii) negotiate and enter into definitive agreements with respect thereto on the terms and conditions (including flex provisions) contained in the Financing Commitments (or on terms not materially less favorable to Parent or Merger Sub than the terms and conditions (including flex provisions) in the Financing Commitments), (iv) satisfy, or cause their Representatives to satisfy, on or prior to the Closing Date (or obtain the waiver of) all

52

conditions in the Financing Commitments and such definitive agreements applicable to it that are within its control and (v) cause (including through litigation pursued in good faith) the Financing Sources who are party to the Debt Financing Commitments and any other person providing Financing to fund the Financing at the Closing (and in any event prior to the Outside Date).

(b) Neither Merger Sub nor Parent shall agree to any amendments or modifications to, or grant any waivers of, any condition or other provision or remedy under the Financing Commitments or Financing Agreements without the prior written consent of the Company (which may be granted or withheld in the Company’s sole discretion), to the extent such amendments, modifications or waivers would or would reasonably be expected to (i) reduce (or have the effect of reducing) the aggregate amount of aggregate cash proceeds available from the Financing (including by changing the amount of fees to be paid or original issue discount) below an amount that, when combined with Parent’s and Merger Sub’s other sources of funds, is sufficient to fund the Required Amount, or (ii) impose new or additional conditions precedent to the Financing or otherwise expand, amend or modify any of the conditions precedent to the Financing in a manner that would reasonably be expected to be adverse to Merger Sub, Parent or the Company, including any expansion, amendment or modification that would or would be reasonably be expected to (A) prevent or delay or impair the ability of Merger Sub and Parent to consummate the Merger and the other Transactions to be consummated on the Closing Date pursuant to this Agreement, (B) adversely impact the ability of Merger Sub or Parent to enforce its rights or remedies against the other parties to the Financing Commitments or Financing Agreements or (C) make the funding of the Financing on the Closing Date or satisfaction of the conditions precedent to obtaining the Financing on the Closing Date any less likely to occur; provided that, subject to compliance with the other provisions of this Section 4.15, Parent and Merger Sub may amend the Debt Commitment Letter to (1) add and/or replace arrangers, bookrunners, agents or similar entities, (2) modify pricing or implement or exercise any of the flex provisions contained in the Debt Commitment Papers and (3) reallocate commitments or assign or reassign titles or roles to, or between or among, any parties to the Debt Commitment Papers in accordance with the terms thereof. Parent shall promptly deliver to the Company copies of any such amendment, modification or waiver of any of the Financing Commitments or the Financing Agreements. Neither Merger Sub nor Parent shall release or consent to the termination of the obligations of the lenders and other Persons under the Financing Commitments or Financing Agreements, except for (i) replacements of the Debt Commitment Letter with alternative financing commitments pursuant to Section 4.15(d), or (ii) assignments and replacements of lenders under the terms of the syndication of the Financing Commitments in accordance with the terms thereof so long as any such assignment or replacement would not result in any of the circumstances described in the first sentence of this Section 4.15(b).

(c) In the event that any portion of the Financing becomes or would reasonably be expected to become unavailable in the manner contemplated in the Financing Commitments (other than as a result of the termination of the Financing Commitments on the Outside Date pursuant to the terms thereof), Parent shall promptly so notify the Company. As soon as reasonably practicable, but in any event within two (2) Business Days of the date the Company delivers to Parent or Merger Sub a written request, Parent and Merger Sub shall provide any information reasonably requested by the Company relating to any circumstance referred to in the immediately preceding sentence or in Section 4.15(d)(ii); provided, however, subject to the rules of discovery otherwise applicable, that Parent or Merger Sub need not

53

provide any information that it believes after consultation with external legal counsel to be privileged. Upon the occurrence of any circumstance referred to in the second preceding sentence or in Section 4.15(d)(ii), Merger Sub and Parent shall use their respective reasonable best efforts to arrange and obtain in replacement thereof, and to negotiate and enter into definitive agreements with respect to, alternative financing from the same or alternative financial institutions or other Persons (which such alternative financing (x) shall be in an amount, when combined with Merger Sub’s and Parent’s other source of funds, equal to the Required Amount on terms and conditions that are not materially less favorable, in the aggregate, to Merger Sub and Parent than those in the Financing Commitments (including flex provisions) as in effect on the date hereof and (y) shall not contain any terms that would not be permitted to be effected by an amendment, modification or waiver of the Financing Commitments pursuant to Section 4.15(b)). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in no event shall the “reasonable best efforts” of Parent or Merger Sub be deemed or be construed to require Parent or Merger Sub to, and neither Parent nor Merger Sub shall be required to (i) seek equity financing from any source other than those counterparty to, or in any amount in excess of that contemplated by, the Equity Commitment Letter, (ii) pay any fees in the aggregate in excess of those contemplated by the Financing Commitments as in effect on the date hereof (including any flex provisions contained therein) or (iii) agree to conditionality or economic terms of any Financing that are less favorable than those contemplated by the Financing Commitments as in effect on the date hereof (including any flex provisions contained therein). The definitive agreements entered into pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 4.15(c) or Section 4.15(a)(iii) are referred to in this Agreement, collectively, as the “Financing Agreements.” In the event any new Financing Commitment is obtained as permitted or required in accordance herewith, (A) any reference in this Agreement to the “Financing,” the “Equity Financing” or the “Debt Financing” means the financing contemplated by the Financing Commitment(s) as permitted to be amended, modified or replaced pursuant to this Section 4.15 and the “Debt Commitment Papers” means the Debt Commitment Papers as permitted to be amended, modified or replaced pursuant to this Section 4.15, and (B) any reference in this Agreement to the “Financing Agreements” or the “Financing Commitments” shall be deemed to include the Financing Commitment(s) that are not superseded in accordance herewith by a new Financing Commitment at the time in question and the new Financing Commitment(s) to the extent then in effect. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, each of Parent and Merger Sub acknowledges and agrees that neither the obtaining of the Financing (or any alternative Financing), the performance by any party to any Financing Commitment of its obligations thereunder nor the completion of any issuance of securities contemplated by the Financing (or any alternative Financing) is a condition to Closing and reaffirms its obligation to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement irrespective and independently of the availability of the Financing or any alternative Financing, or the completion of any such issuance, subject to the applicable conditions set forth in Section 5.1 and Section 5.2.

(d) Parent shall (i) furnish the Company complete, correct and executed copies of the Financing Agreements or any alternative financing agreement entered into in accordance (in each case of the foregoing, in the case of any fee letters, to the extent required by the terms of the applicable Debt Commitment Letter, redacted in a manner consistent with the Redacted Fee Letter) promptly upon their execution, but in any event on the same day as the execution thereof, (ii) without limiting the generality of the immediately following subclause (iii), give the Company written notice as soon as reasonably practicable, but in any event within

54

two (2) Business Days, of (A) any breach or threatened breach of which either Merger Sub or Parent is or becomes aware by any party of any of the Financing Commitments, any alternative financing commitment, the Financing Agreements, or any alternative financing agreement entered into in accordance with this Section 4.15 or any termination or attempted or threatened termination thereof (in each case, whether or not such attempted or threatened termination is valid), (B) if Parent or Merger Sub obtains Knowledge that any of the Financing Commitments ceases to be in full force and effect and the legal, valid, binding and enforceable obligations of Parent or Merger Sub or of the other parties thereto, (C) if Parent or Merger Sub or any of their respective Representatives receives (1) any written notice or (2) other written communication, in each case from any Financing Source with respect to (y) any actual or potential breach, default, termination or repudiation by any party to any of the Debt Commitment Papers or Financing Agreements of any provisions of the Financing Commitments or Financing Agreements or (z) material dispute or disagreement between or among any parties to any of the Financing Commitments or Financing Agreements with respect to the obligation to fund the Financing in an amount equal to the Required Amount at Closing on the terms and conditions set forth in the Financing Commitments or (D) if Parent or Merger Sub receives (1) any written notice or (2) other written communication on the basis of which Parent or Merger Sub believes in good faith that it is reasonably likely that a party to the Financing Commitments will fail to fund the Financing Commitments or reduce the amount of the Financing Commitments and, as a result thereof, the aggregate cash amount of funding commitments thereunder (after giving effect to any corresponding increases), when combined with Parent’s and Merger Sub’s other sources of funds, would be less than the Required Amount (in each case of the foregoing subclauses (A)-(D), provided, however, subject to the rules of discovery otherwise applicable, that Parent or Merger Sub need not provide any information that is privileged or that is requested for purposes of litigation), and (iii) otherwise keep the Company reasonably informed on a reasonably current basis and in reasonable detail of the status of its efforts to arrange the Financing (or any alternative financing under this Section 4.15).

Section 4.16 Financing Cooperation and Indemnification.

(a) Subject to (x) the last two sentences of Section 4.1 and (y) Section 4.16(b) and Section 4.16(c), prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall, and shall cause each of the Company Subsidiaries to, and shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause its and their Representatives to, provide to Parent such customary and necessary cooperation, at Parent’s sole expense, as may be reasonably requested by Parent to assist Parent in the arrangement of the Debt Financing, which such reasonable best efforts shall include, at Parent’s request:

The Company shall not (i) except as provided in Section 2.23, terminate (or permit the termination of), waive or amend the Rights Agreement, (ii) redeem any rights under the Rights Agreement or (iii) take any action with respect to, or make any determination under, the Rights Agreement that would interfere with Parent consummating the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, in each case without the prior written consent of Parent.

(g) Each of the Company and Parent acknowledges and agrees that the agreements contained in this Section 6.3 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and that, without these agreements, neither the Company nor Parent would have entered into this Agreement; accordingly, if the Company or Parent, as the case may be, fails promptly to pay the fee due pursuant to Section 6.3, and, in order to obtain such payment, Parent or the Company commences litigation that results in an award against the other party for such fee, the Company or Parent, as the case may be, shall pay to the other party its costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) in connection with such litigation, together with interest on the amount of the applicable fee from the date such payment was required to be made until the date of payment at the prime lending rate as published in The Wall Street Journal in effect on the date such payment was required to be made.

(h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Company agrees and acknowledges that, except as expressly permitted by Section 7.6, if Parent and Merger Sub fail to effect the Merger or otherwise are in breach of this Agreement, then (i) the Company’s sole and exclusive remedy against Parent, Merger Sub, any debt or equity financing source, any Guarantor, or any of their respective Affiliates and any of their respective former, current and future direct or indirect equity holders, controlling persons, stockholders, agents, Affiliates, members, managers, general or limited partners, assignees or Representatives (collectively, the “Parent Related Parties”), whether at law or equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise, shall be to terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 6.1(d)(i) or Section 6.1(d)(ii) and to collect, if due, the Parent Termination Fee and any other amounts payable pursuant to Section 4.16, Section 4.19 and Section 6.3(g) or under the Guarantee, (ii) the payment of the Parent Termination Fee shall be deemed liquidated damages for any and all direct or indirect losses or damages of any kind, character or description incurred or suffered by the Company or any other Person in connection with this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and (iii) no other Parent Related Party shall have any further liability or obligation whatsoever relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (except that Siris Capital Group, LLC shall also be obligated with respect to the Confidentiality Agreement, Parent shall also be obligated with respect to the expense reimbursement and indemnification obligations pursuant to Section 4.16 and Section 4.19, and the Guarantors shall also be obligated pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Guarantee (collectively, the “Additional Amounts”)). For the avoidance of doubt, under no circumstances

66

shall the Company be (x) entitled to collect the Parent Termination Fee on more than one occasion (or, after the receipt thereof, any portion thereof or any further funds or amounts) or (y) permitted or entitled to receive both a grant of specific performance as contemplated by Section 7.6 and any money damages, including all or any portion of the Parent Termination Fee. The Company further agrees that in the event of termination the maximum aggregate liability of Parent, Merger Sub and all of the other Parent Related Parties, taken as a whole, shall be limited to an amount equal to the amount of the Parent Termination Fee, and in no event shall the Company seek to recover, or be entitled to recover, any money damages or other losses or damages of any kind, character or description in excess of such amount, except that such limitation of liability shall in no event or circumstance apply to any Additional Amounts that may be due or payable by any Parent Related Party pursuant to the terms of this Agreement (including for such purposes the Guarantee or the Confidentiality Agreement). In no event shall the Company seek to recover, or be entitled to recover, monetary damages from any Parent Related Party, other than Parent and Merger Sub under this Agreement or the Guarantors under the Guarantee. The Company hereby covenants and agrees that it shall not, and shall cause the Company Subsidiaries not to, institute any proceeding or bring any other claim arising under, or in connection with, this Agreement, the Financing Commitments, the Guarantee or the negotiation, execution, performance, abandonment or termination of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (whether at law or in equity, under any theory of liability (including without limitation by attempting to pierce a corporate, limited liability company or partnership veil)) against Parent or any Parent Related Party except for claims: (i) against Parent and/or Merger Sub in accordance with and pursuant to the terms of this Agreement; (ii) against Parent and/or Merger Sub for indemnification or expense reimbursement under Section 4.16 and Section 4.19, (iii) against the Guarantors under the Guarantee, subject to the terms and limitations thereof; (iv) against the parties to the Equity Commitment Letter for specific performance of their respective obligations under the Equity Commitment Letter, subject to the terms and limitations thereof if, and only if, the conditions of Section 7.6(a) (in case of the foregoing, other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing) have been satisfied (or waived); and (v) against Siris Capital Group, LLC under the Confidentiality Agreement, subject to the terms and limitations thereof (the claims described in clauses (i) through (v) collectively, the “Retained Claims”). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company (on behalf of itself and each of its current and future direct or indirect equity holders, controlling persons, stockholders, agents, Affiliates, members, managers, general or limited partners, assignees and Representatives) hereby waives any rights or claims against any Debt Financing Source or any of its Affiliates and any of their respective former, current and future direct or indirect equity holders, controlling persons, stockholders, agents, Affiliates, members, managers, general or limited partners, assignees or Representatives (collectively, including the Financing Sources, the “Debt Financing Source Related Parties”) in connection with this Agreement, the Debt Financing or the Debt Commitment Letters, whether at law or equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise, and the Company (on behalf of itself and each of its current and future direct or indirect equity holders, controlling persons, stockholders, agents, Affiliates, members, managers, general or limited partners, assignees and Representatives) agrees not to commence (and if commenced, agrees to dismiss or otherwise terminate) any dispute, suit, claim, litigation, investigation, proceeding or other action against any Debt Financing Source Related Party in connection with this Agreement, the Debt Financing or the Debt Commitment Letters. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing waiver, it is

67

agreed that no Debt Financing Source Related Party shall have any liability for any claims, losses, settlements, damages, costs, expenses, fines or penalties to the Company (or any of its current and future direct or indirect equity holders, controlling persons, stockholders, agents, Affiliates, members, managers, general or limited partners, assignees and Representatives) in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 6.3(h) shall in any way limit or modify the rights and obligations of Parent or Merger Sub (nor, following the Closing Date, the Company as the Surviving Corporation) under the Debt Commitment Letters or the Financing Agreements.

At any time prior to the Effective Time, this Agreement may be amended or supplemented in any and all respects, by written agreement signed by all of the parties hereto. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Financing Sources Provisions (and any provision of this Agreement to the extent an amendment, modification, waiver or termination of such provision would modify the substance of any Financing Sources Provisions) may not be amended, modified, waived or terminated in a manner that impacts or is adverse in any respect to the Financing Sources without the prior written consent of the Financing Sources.

Section 7.2 Extension of Time, Waiver, etc. At any time prior to the Effective Time, any party may, subject to applicable Law: (a) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties of any other party hereto; provided, however, that after adoption of this Agreement by the holders of Company Common Stock (if applicable), no waiver shall be made which would pursuant to applicable Law require further approval by such holders without obtaining such further approval; (b) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or acts of any other party hereto; or (c) to the extent permitted by applicable Law, waive compliance by the other party with any of the agreements contained in this Agreement or, except as otherwise provided in the Agreement, waive any of such party’s conditions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no failure or delay by the Company, Merger Sub or Parent in exercising any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver of rights, nor shall any single or partial exercise of such rights preclude any other or further exercise of such rights or the exercise of any other right hereunder. Any agreement on the part of a party hereto to any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed on behalf of such party.

Section 7.3 No Additional Representations; No Survival. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, none of the Company, Merger Sub, Parent, their respective Affiliates or their respective Subsidiaries, stockholders, controlling Persons or Representatives shall have any liability or responsibility whatsoever to any other party hereto, its Affiliates or any of their respective Subsidiaries, stockholders, controlling Persons or Representatives on any basis (including in contract or tort, under federal or state securities Laws or otherwise) based upon any information provided or made available, or statements made (or any omissions therefrom), to such party, its Affiliates or any of their respective Subsidiaries, stockholders, controlling Persons or Representatives, including in respect of the specific representations and warranties of the Company set forth in Article II of this Agreement and in respect of the specific representations and warranties of Merger Sub and Parent set forth in Article III of this

68

Agreement, except as and only to the extent expressly set forth in this Agreement with respect to such representations and warranties, subject to the limitations and restrictions contained in this Agreement. None of the representations and warranties in this Agreement or in any instrument delivered pursuant to this Agreement shall survive the Expiration Date. This Section 7.3 shall not limit the survival of any covenant or agreement of the parties hereto contained in this Agreement which by its terms contemplates performance after the Expiration Date.

Section 7.4 Entire Agreement; No Third Party Beneficiary. This Agreement, including the exhibits and annexes hereto, the Company Disclosure Schedules, the documents and instruments relating to the Merger referred to in this Agreement and the Confidentiality Agreement, constitutes the entire agreement, and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement. This Agreement is not intended, and shall not be deemed, to create any agreement of employment with any person, to confer any rights or remedies upon any person other than the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns or to otherwise create any third-party beneficiary hereto, except (i) the directors and officers of the Company (with respect to matters covered by Section 4.8 and this Section 7.4), (ii) the Financing Sources (with respect to the Financing Sources Provisions) and (iii) the Parent Related Parties (with respect to Section 6.3(h)).

Section 7.5 Applicable Law; Jurisdiction.

(a) Subject to Section 7.12, this Agreement and all actions (whether at Law, in contract, in tort or otherwise) arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the negotiation, validity or performance of this Agreement or the Merger shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the Laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any choice or conflict of Law provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the Laws of another jurisdiction.

(b) SUBJECT TO Section 7.12, ANY LEGAL SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR BASED UPON THIS AGREEMENT, THE OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY MAY BE INSTITUTED SOLELY AND EXCLUSIVELY IN THE FEDERAL COURTS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA OR THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE, IN EACH CASE LOCATED IN THE STATE OF DELAWARE, AND EACH PARTY IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF SUCH COURTS IN ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING. SERVICE OF PROCESS, SUMMONS, NOTICE OR OTHER DOCUMENT BY MAIL TO SUCH PARTY’S ADDRESS SET FORTH HEREIN SHALL BE EFFECTIVE SERVICE OF PROCESS FOR ANY SUIT, ACTION OR OTHER PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH COURT. THE PARTIES IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVE ANY OBJECTION TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY SUIT, ACTION OR ANY PROCEEDING IN SUCH COURTS AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVE AND AGREE NOT TO PLEAD OR CLAIM IN ANY SUCH COURT THAT ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH COURT HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM.

69

(c) EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR THE OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES AND, THEREFORE, EACH SUCH PARTY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LEGAL ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY. EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (A) NO REPRESENTATIVE OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER IN THE EVENT OF A LEGAL ACTION, (B) SUCH PARTY HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF THIS WAIVER, (C) SUCH PARTY MAKES THIS WAIVER VOLUNTARILY, AND (D) SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS Section 7.5(c).

Section 7.6 Specific Enforcement.

(a) Subject to the remainder of this Section 7.6, the parties agree that irreparable damage would occur for which monetary damages would not be an adequate remedy in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement are not performed in accordance with the terms hereof or are otherwise breached, and, at the non-breaching party’s election, such non-breaching party shall be entitled to specific performance and the issuance of injunctive and other equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement or to enforce specifically the performance of the terms and provisions hereof in the courts chosen in Section 7.5(b). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the parties hereto agree that the right of the Company to obtain an injunction, or other appropriate form of specific performance or equitable relief, in each case, solely with respect to causing Parent and Merger Sub to cause the Equity Financing to be funded (whether under this Agreement or the Equity Commitment Letter) shall be subject to the requirements that:

(i) with respect to any funding of the Equity Financing to occur at the Closing, all the conditions set forth in Section 5.1 and Section 5.3 would have been satisfied if the Closing were to have occurred at such time (other than those conditions that by their terms are to be satisfied by actions taken at the Closing, each of which shall be capable of being satisfied at the Closing);

(ii) the Debt Financing (or, in the case alternative debt financing has been obtained in accordance with Section 4.15(c) for all the Debt Financing, such alternative debt financing) has been funded or would be funded in accordance with the terms thereof at the Closing, if the Equity Financing is funded at the Closing;

(iii) Parent and Merger Sub fail to complete the Closing in accordance with Section 1.2, and

70

(iv) the Company has irrevocably confirmed to Parent in writing that (A) all conditions in Section 5.1 and Section 5.2 have been satisfied or that it is willing to waive any such open conditions, and (B) if specific performance is granted and if the Equity Financing and the Debt Financing were funded, the Closing would occur.

(b) For the avoidance of doubt, (i) in no event shall the exercise of the Company’s right to seek specific performance or other equitable relief pursuant to this Section 7.6 reduce, restrict or otherwise limit the Company’s right to terminate this Agreement in accordance with the terms hereof and be paid the Parent Termination Fee (provided, that under no circumstances shall the Company be permitted or entitled to receive both a grant of specific performance that results in the Merger occurring pursuant to this Section 7.6 and the payment of all or any portion of the Parent Termination Fee) plus any Additional Amounts and (ii) the Company’s right to seek specific performance pursuant to this Section 7.6 shall include the right of the Company to cause Parent and/or Merger Sub to fully enforce the terms of the Debt Financing Papers, including by requiring Parent and/or Merger Sub to file one or more lawsuits against any party to the Debt Financing Papers to fully enforce the obligations of such party therein. Subject to Section 7.6(a), each of the parties agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief on the basis that (x) the other party has an adequate remedy at law or (y) an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or equity.

Section 7.7 Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder shall be assigned by any of the parties hereto, in whole or in part (whether by operation of Law or otherwise), without the prior written consent of the other parties, and any attempt to make any such assignment without such consent shall be null and void, except that Parent and Merger Sub may assign, in their sole discretion, any or all of its rights, interests and obligations under this Agreement to any one or more direct or indirect wholly owned Subsidiaries of Parent, effective with the Effective Date, or as collateral to the applicable Debt Financing Sources in connection with the Debt Financing without the consent of the Company, but no such assignment shall relieve Parent or Merger Sub of any of their respective obligations under this Agreement. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.

Section 7.8 Notices. All notices, requests, consents, claims, demands, waivers and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been given (a) when delivered by hand (with written confirmation of receipt); (b) when received by the addressee if sent by a nationally recognized overnight courier (receipt requested); (c) on the date sent by e-mail of a PDF document (with confirmation of transmission) if sent during normal business hours of the recipient, and on the next Business Day if sent after normal business hours of the recipient or (d) on the third day after the date mailed, by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid.

Section 7.9 Severability. Any term or provision of this Agreement that is invalid or unenforceable in any situation in any jurisdiction shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement or the validity or enforceability of the offending term or provision in any other situation or in any other jurisdiction. If a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction declares that any term or provision of this Agreement is invalid or unenforceable, the parties hereto agree that the court making such determination shall have the power to limit such term or provision, to delete specific words or phrases or to replace such term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, and this Agreement shall be valid and enforceable as so modified. In the event such court does not exercise the power granted to it in the prior sentence, the parties shall negotiate in good faith to replace such invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a valid and enforceable term or provision that will achieve, to the extent possible, the economic, business and other purposes of such invalid or unenforceable term or provision.

72

(e) The phrases “provided to,” “furnished to,” and phrases of similar import when used herein, unless the context otherwise requires, means that a copy of the information or material referred to has been provided to the party to whom such information or material is to be provided, including by means of being provided for review in the virtual dataroom set up by the Company in connection with this Agreement.

Section 7.11 Counterparts; Signatures. This Agreement may be executed in two (2) or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which together shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each of the parties hereto and delivered to the other parties, it being understood that all parties need not sign the same counterpart. This Agreement may be executed and delivered by facsimile transmission, by electronic mail in “portable document format” (“.pdf”) form, or by any other electronic means intended to preserve the original graphic and pictorial appearance of a document, or by combination of such means.

Xura Announces Agreement to be Acquired by Affiliates of Siris Capital Group for $25.00 per share in an All-Cash Deal Valued at Approximately $643 million

• Xura shareholders to receive $25.00 per share in cash

• Acquisition provides immediate stockholder value and supports Xura’s transformation growth strategy to be the leader in digital communications solutions for Communication Service Providers (“CSPs”)

• Enables further investment, expansion and development of digital communication and monetization services

WAKEFIELD, Mass., May 23, 2016: Xura, Inc. (NASDAQ: MESG), a leading provider of digital communications services, today announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement to be acquired by affiliates of Siris Capital Group, LLC (“Siris”) in a transaction reflecting an equity value of approximately $643 million. In addition, as part of the transaction, Xura’s existing credit facility will be refinanced.

Under the terms of the agreement, Siris will acquire all of the outstanding shares of Xura’s common stock for $25.00 per share in cash, representing a 19.2% premium over the closing price on May 20, 2016, a 14.8% premium over the 30-day volume-weighted average closing stock price, and a 26.0% premium over the closing price on April 14, 2016, the day before the Company disclosed that it was in exclusive negotiations for a potential sale of the Company to a third party for $25.00 per share. The agreement was unanimously approved by Xura’s Board of Directors, which recommended that Xura’s stockholders adopt the agreement with Siris. A special meeting of Xura’s stockholders will be held as soon as practicable following the filing of a definitive proxy statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and subsequent mailing to stockholders.

Under the terms of the agreement, Xura may solicit alternative acquisition proposals from third parties during a 45-day “go-shop” period, following the date of execution of the merger agreement. There is no guarantee that this process will result in a superior proposal, and the merger agreement provides Siris with a customary right to match a superior proposal.

Philippe Tartavull, President and CEO of Xura, said, “Over the past year, the company has experienced unprecedented change, with the divestment of the Comverse BSS business and the combination of Comverse and Acision to form Xura. Siris’ acquisition of Xura is a strong endorsement of our transformation strategy and provides immediate value to our stockholders. Working in a private setting will allow greater flexibility to accelerate our strategy to bring best-in-class messaging, voicemail, security, and monetization solutions to our customers.”

Commenting on the transaction, Hubert de Pesquidoux, Siris Capital Executive Partner, said: “Xura has a strong, credible history in delivering communications services to CSPs globally, and will continue to have long-term value for the digital ecosystem as the company evolves. We see great potential and talent within the organization, and we are excited to partner with Xura to build a business with digital innovation and customers at its core. Importantly, Siris has an extensive history of successfully operating businesses that provide mission-critical products to CSPs and understands that continued investment and customer partnership are instrumental to delivering world-class solutions.”

The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions, including the receipt of stockholder approval and the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act and other foreign antitrust regulatory approvals, as necessary. The transaction is not subject to any financing condition. Upon completion of the acquisition, Xura will become wholly owned by an affiliate of Siris. The transaction is currently expected to close in the third fiscal quarter of 2016.

Siris has secured committed financing consisting of a combination of equity and debt. The equity financing will be provided by affiliates of Siris and the debt financing will be provided by Cerberus Business Finance, LLC.

Goldman, Sachs & Co. is acting as financial advisor, and DLA Piper LLP (US) is acting as legal advisor to Xura in connection with the transaction.

EX-99.2

Exhibit 99.2

Dear Colleagues,

I wanted be the first to tell you that just a few minutes ago we announced publicly that we have entered into a definitive agreement to be acquired by affiliates of Siris Capital Group, LLC (“Siris”), a private equity firm that focuses exclusively on investments in data/telecommunications, technology and technology-enabled business services companies. This is an exciting step for Xura, and I would like to share with you why the Board and Management Team think this is a good move for us.

Over the last nine months, Xura’s vision and strategy has been to become a leader in digital communications and monetization services for mobile operators globally. We have worked hard to build one, united Xura and start to fulfil that vision and strategy, but we have always been looking for ways to accelerate this and deliver more value to our customer base.

We have also experienced unprecedented change, with the divestment of the Comverse BSS business and the combination of Comverse and Acision to form Xura. This has been a lot for us to take on and for the industry to absorb, while grasping our current direction.

Importantly, Siris has an extensive history of successfully operating businesses that provide mission-critical products to communication service providers (CSPs) and understands that continued investment and customer partnerships are instrumental to delivering world-class solutions.

Given its strategy and track-record, I view Siris as a like-minded partner that has a deep appreciation for the important role Xura plays in supporting its customers and is committed to ensuring we continue to enable best-in-class messaging, voicemail, security and monetization solutions. Furthermore, their investment is a strong endorsement of our leadership in the digital communications market, including the quality and breadth of our product portfolio, our strategic positioning and, most importantly for our collective long-term success.

Xura UK Limited Reading International Business Park, Part Spur AG, Basingstoke Road, Reading, Berkshire RG2 6DH, UK Registered Office: Reading International Business, Reading, Berkshire RG2 6DH, Company Number. 2693122 xura.com

We expect the transaction will be completed in Xura’s third fiscal quarter, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions. Following completion of the acquisition, Xura will no longer be a publicly traded company.

So what next?

We understand this is a lot to digest, so I would also like to talk to you all as soon as possible to discuss what this announcement means to you and Xura. Therefore, please join my CEO UPDATE to start at 2:30 pm BST/9:30 am EDT today, where we can update you on what we are doing and start answering some of the questions you may have. Please access the link to the webinar here. For those dialing in, please find participant dial-in details attached. Since we expect more questions to arise over the next few days and weeks, we will be talking regularly to ensure these are all addressed.

Lastly, we don’t anticipate this transaction, and the change in ownership of Xura, will change our focus, strategic objectives, product portfolio or drive to satisfy our customers. In fact, this new investment will make Xura stronger with an increased focus on you, our transformation needs and the needs of our customers. I would like to thank you all for the effort you have made in getting us here today. Without you we would have never have been an attractive proposition to Siris.

I look forward to discussing this news with you at the CEO Update.

Kind regards,

Philippe Tartavull

President and CEO

Dear Colleagues,

Thanks to all of you that joined our webinar today, where we were able to update you on our acquisition agreement with affiliates of Siris Capital Group (“Siris”), and what it means to us.

As discussed, we are always looking for ways in which we can accelerate our business transformation and strategy and, after a thorough evaluation process, our Board of Directors and Management Team agreed to a proposal made by Siris as a compelling proposition to enable us to deliver immediate value to our shareholders while continuing to deliver substantial benefits to our customers, partners, and you, our employees.

Siris has an unparalleled track record in helping companies just like Xura succeed in their goals and, with their investment and guidance, we can further refine and fast-track our strategy and deliver even more value to all our stakeholders now and into the future. More importantly, we believe that the combination of a private setting, alongside the considerable industry and financial resources of Siris, will significantly enhance Xura’s position in the following ways:

• Transformation - accelerate our strategic transformation to become a more focused Company.

• Investment - invest in product development and go-to-market initiatives to drive continuous innovation and expand market reach.

• Flexibility - efficiently react to changing market dynamics to extend industry leadership.

To help you understand more about the transaction and address the common questions, we have created an FAQ, which you can access here. Within this, you can also find guidance on how to address questions that we would expect to get from customers and partners. If you have any further questions yourself or directly from

xura.com

our customers / partners, please reach out to your manager in the first instance or, alternatively, email: corporate.marketing@xura.com, who can help you address these queries or provide templates to help you communicate with your business contacts.

Finally, today, I want to also reiterate that, while we work through the transaction process, we are taking a business-as-usual approach to running the company and, your work to help Xura be the best provider of digital communications services to our customers, is now more important than ever.    

As mentioned on the webinar, we are currently in a 45 -day “go-shop” period, where we are allowed to solicit alternative acquisition proposals from other potential acquirers. However, there is no guarantee that a superior proposal will be received, and we anticipate closing the transaction with Siris following the receipt of regulatory and shareholder approvals in our third fiscal quarter.

Lines of communication will be kept open during deal closure – we want to be as transparent as we can – so please forward on questions and we will do our best to address these.

Thanks again for your patience during this process.

Xura, Inc. Transaction FAQ

Siris Capital agrees to acquire Xura: What does this mean and what is the impact?

General Questions:

What is being announced?

On May 23, 2016, Xura, Inc. (“Xura” or the “Company”) entered into a definitive agreement to be acquired by affiliates of Siris Capital Group, LLC (“Siris”). When the transaction is complete, Xura will become wholly-owned by an affiliate of Siris and will no longer be publicly traded on the NASDAQ Stock Market. All of the outstanding common stock of Xura will be purchased for $25.00 per share in cash. Subject to satisfactory closing conditions, the transaction is expected to be completed in Xura’s third fiscal quarter.

Who is Siris?

Siris is a leading private equity firm based in New York that focuses exclusively on making control investments in data/telecommunications, technology and technology-enabled business service companies. Siris has extensive experience and an impressive track record of financial success in acquiring companies that have a combination of mature and next-generation business lines and are navigating complex strategic and/or operational transitions. Importantly, Siris has an extensive history of successfully operating businesses that provide mission-critical products to communication service providers (CSPs) and understands that continued investment and customer partnerships are instrumental to delivering world-class solutions.

Previous Siris-led investments include the acquisitions of Premiere Global Services (“PGi”) (conferencing and collaboration services), Digital River (eCommerce payments and marketing services), Pulse Secure (secure enterprise connectivity solutions, including VPN and network access software), Airvana (mobile network infrastructure), Tekelec (core telecom infrastructure software), Transaction Network Services (“TNS”) (value-added network services for the telecommunications, payments, and financial services verticals), and Stratus Technologies (fault tolerant servers and software solutions).

Siris was founded in 2011 by Frank Baker, Peter Berger, and Jeffrey Hendren and currently has $2.4 billion of capital under management. Siris has a deep and experienced bench of operating executives (“Executive Partners”) focused on helping companies successfully execute their strategic and operational objectives.

What are the terms of the transaction?

Affiliates of Siris have agreed to acquire all of the outstanding shares of Xura for $25.00 per share in cash. Under terms of the merger agreement, Xura is allowed to solicit alternative acquisition proposals for the Company from other potential acquirers during a 45-day “go-shop” period; there is no guarantee that a superior proposal will be received, and the merger agreement provides Siris with a customary right to match a superior proposal. Following the go-shop period, Xura will hold a special meeting of shareholders, where shareholders will have the opportunity to approve the Company’s acquisition by Siris.

What are the conditions to the transaction?

The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions, including a majority vote from Xura’s shareholders and certain regulatory approvals. Siris has secured fully committed debt financing in support of the transaction. As such, the transaction is not subject to any financing condition.

Why is Siris acquiring Xura?

Siris targets investments in companies that have:

(i) strong and sophisticated executive leadership teams

(ii) “mission-critical” product and service offerings

(iii) embedded and diversified relationships with “blue chip” customers

(iv) strong service delivery capabilities, and

(v) supportive underlying market dynamics.

Siris has extensive experience in public-to-private transactions, including the acquisitions of PGi, Digital River, TNS, Airvana, and Tekelec. Siris also has a history of investing in businesses that provide mission-critical products to Tier 1 and 2 communication service providers (CSPs), including PGi, TNS, Airvana and Tekelec. Leveraging this unique investment strategy, experience and familiarity with the industry, Siris’ objective is to enhance and accelerate Xura’s vision, strategy and transition to drive for continued success in digital communications. Siris is committed to building Xura’s partnerships with communication service providers to enable best-in-class messaging, voicemail, security, and monetization solutions.

Why does this transaction make sense for Xura?

After a thorough evaluation process, our Board of Directors viewed Siris’ proposal as a compelling transaction that enables us to deliver immediate value to our shareholders and continue to deliver substantial benefits to our customers, partners, and employees.

Over the past year, the Company has experienced unprecedented change, with the divestment of the Comverse BSS business and the mergers of Comverse and Acision to form Xura. This has been a lot for us to take on and for the industry to absorb, while grasping our current direction. As a like-

minded company, we determined that Siris Capital was the right partner to provide a private setting and more conducive environment to help us execute on our current transformation and pursue new opportunities.

Siris has an unparalleled track record of helping companies just like Xura succeed in their goals. The investment Siris is making in Xura is a strong endorsement of our leadership in the digital communications market including the quality and breadth of our product portfolio, our strategic positioning, and most importantly, our deep commitment to our customers. With their investment—and guidance—we can further refine and accelerate our strategy and deliver even more value to our stakeholders now and into the future.

Importantly, the Xura Executive Team believes the combination of a private setting and the significant industry and financial resources of Siris significantly enhance our ability to deliver value to our customers, and will enhance Xura’s position in the following ways:

• Transformation - accelerate our strategic transformation to become a more focused Company

• Investment - invest in product development and go-to-market initiatives to drive continuous innovation and expand market reach

• Flexibility - efficiently react to changing market dynamics to extend industry leadership

Did Xura’s Board of Directors approve the transaction?

Yes. The Board unanimously approved the merger and recommended that shareholders approve and adopt the merger agreement at the special meeting that will be held to vote on the transaction. The Board believes this transaction represents a fair value for the Company and is in the best interest of all its stakeholders.

Will there be changes in the organization or executive leadership team as a result of the transaction?

There are no immediate organizational or executive leadership changes planned at this time. Siris’ investment is a validation of the strength of the executive leadership team and the direction of the Company’s ongoing operational transition.

Siris has a dedicated team of exceptional senior operating executives, or “Executive Partners”, who have extensive industry experience and will provide strategic and operational guidenace to Xura’s Executive Team. They will also serve on the new Board of Directors. Siris’ Executive Partners include:

• Hubert de Pesquidoux: Executive Chairman

• Former CFO of Alcatel-Lucent and President of its Enterprise Group (20 years)

• 4 years with Siris

• Kai Oistamo: Director

• Former Chief Development Office of Nokia and General Manager of it Mobile Phones Business (24 years)

• Joined Siris in 2015

• Merle Gilmore: Director

• Former EVP and President of Motorola’s Communications Enterprise Group (30 Years)

• 14 years with Siris

• Rod Randall: Director

• Former Chief Marketing Office of Lucent Technologies

• 4 years with Siris

• Ted Schell: Director

• Former SVP of Strategy and Corporate Development at Sprint (11 years)

• 7 years with Siris

What can Xura do better as a private company?

With the backing of Siris, a like-minded partner who endorses our vision and strategy and now has a vested interest in our ongoing success, we will have the opportunity to be a more agile company, which can expand, grow and react faster to changing requirements of the digital communication services market and our customers. We believe Xura’s new private ownership setting will be more conducive to executing on the Company’s ongoing operational transformation.

Will the new name and brand identity change?

No. We do not expect the Xura name and brand identity to change. In fact, we hope to build on the strength of the Xura brand as part of this transition.

How will this transaction impact the product/new features pipeline?

We expect to maintain our dedication to product innovation, which will serve to strengthen Xura’s product portfolio and customer relationships.

Employee Focused Questions:

What does it mean to be a private company?

Following completion of the transaction, Xura’s stock will no longer be traded on the public market, or owned by public shareholders. Xura will become a private company, wholly owned by an affiliate of Siris.

Will Siris change how we run the company?

We do not anticipate the day-to-day operations of the Company to change. We expect private ownership by a like-minded financial sponsor will help ensure the success of our operational transformation and encourage more agility and responsiveness with regard to product development, service delivery, and overall execution of our strategy.

Are there going to be any changes to the previously initiated restructuring plans?

We are already executing on an organizational restructuring plan, as part of the integration process of Comverse and Acision, which kicked off in September 2015. The objective of this restructuring will not change as we aim to bring Xura to approximately 750 employees. This will ensure we are properly focused and can competitively deliver best-in-class digital communications and monetization solutions to our current and future customers. The acquisition provides validation to our strategic direction and current integration plans.

Will my role / team change and, if so, how?

We don’t expect any immediate changes to either your individual responsibilities or the overall organizational structure of Xura. You can expect to do the same job tomorrow that you do today. We will continue to execute on our restructuring plan as part of the Comverse / Acision integration program, and will continue to evaluate the business to ensure it is positioned for ongoing success.

What impact will this have on my career?

We do not expect the change in ownership to have any material impact on your career potential or accessibility to new career development opportunities. This acquisition will help strengthen Xura’s market leadership in the digital communications market. Moreover, we remain intent on becoming a recognized global market leader in this segment. With this in mind, we expect there to be new opportunities for employees that arise out of the organization.

Will there be further headcount reductions? If so, when? What will the employee package look like? Which departments do you expect to be most affected?

We are already executing on an organizational restructuring plan, as part of the integration process of Comverse and Acision, which kicked off in September 2015. The objective of this restructuring will not change as we aim to bring Xura to approximately 750 employees. It is too early to speculate whether there will be additional headcount reductions to those already planned. We will keep Xura employees informed as specific decisions are made.

Please keep in mind that as with all businesses, there will sometimes be periods of change where we look at efficiencies and areas of the Company that can perform their functions in more effective ways. Any necessary changes implemented will be in line with the overall strategic approach, and these will be communicated to those individuals directly impacted and the wider organization when required. Also, while there may be some rationalization, the focus for the future is to position Xura for success and growth.

How will our compensation and benefits programs change?

We do not anticipate making any immediate changes to the compensation and benefits available to employees at this time.

What does this mean for my employee bonus plan?

As communicated, the 2015 bonus plan will be paid to you as soon as possible via payroll, subject to local country taxes and any other usual deductions. This is applicable for both APIP and CICP participants. We are not yet in a position to share the Xura incentive plan for 2016. However, once the transaction is closed, we will bring you up to speed on the Xura Performance Incentive Plan for the current year.

We fully expect to implement competitive compensation packages and incentive programs to attract, reward, and retain employees.

What happens with my existing stock options / RSUs?

Your current vested equity will be valued a $25.00 per share, net of any exercise or grant price, in the case of options. Any unvested equity will vest as a result of the transaction and will also be valued at $25.00 per share, net of any exercise price in the case of options. We expect to provide specifics with regard to various equity-holdings as we approach the completion of the transaction.

Will the Xura Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP) continue?

The ESPP program will be discontinued after we close the transaction and become a private company. This program will not be offered in the future as we will not be a publicly traded company.

Will I get a new employment contract?

No, your current employment contract with Xura will remain in place.

Will we become employees of Siris?

No, you remain employed by Xura, which will become wholly-owned by an affiliate of Siris following the closing of the transaction.

Will Siris merge us with another company?

We do not anticipate any consolidation with other Siris investments.

Will we look to acquire other companies?

We will continue to evaluate companies that can augment and complement our existing portfolio of products and services.

How will this change our current culture?

Xura’s culture will continue to evolve as the company itself grows and evolves. We expect that this strong, third-party endorsement of our strategy will help invigorate the culture further. As the business evolves, we will continue to revitalize the company’s brand identity with more modern and forward-looking positioning, as well as a look and feel that helps convey our vision for the digital services market.

Will this require any or all of us to relocate?

Almost all employees will remain where they currently are; any changes are already part of our current restructuring plans.

Will there be a change in the person to whom I report?

We do not anticipate direct reporting lines for most employees to change as a result of the transaction. If anything changes, we will communicate this to those impacted.

What does this mean for contractors?

The transaction should have no impact on your relationship with Xura.

What will be the impact on recruiting?

We do not expect the transaction to have any material negative impact on recruiting. We will continue our efforts to attract and recruit the best possible talent for Xura.

What should I do if I receive calls from members of the media or members of the investor community?

No employees, other than approved corporate spokespeople, should make comments about the acquisition. If you are contacted by the media, investor, financial analyst or any other outside parties, please direct the inquiry to:

Who do I talk to if I have questions or concerns about this transaction?

Feel free to speak with your manager or your local HR representative with any questions. Alternatively, please email the executive team at: corporate.marketing@xura.com with your questions and they will be addressed.

Lines of communication will be kept open with employees during deal closure – we want to be as transparent with you as we can.

After the announcement, what are the next steps in the acquisition?

We have entered a 45-day “go shop” period, during which we are able to solicit alternative acquisition proposals for the Company from other potential acquirors; there is no guarantee a superior proposal will be received and the merger agreement provides Siris with a customary right to match a superior proposal. Following the go-shop period, Xura shareholders will have the opportunity to approve the acquisition by Siris. Once all of the closing conditions are satisfied, the acquisition can be completed.

Customer / Partner Questions:

How does this acquisition impact Xura’s customers?

Meeting the needs of our customers and partners remains Xura’s number one priority. Xura’s customers and partners will see no operational impact, account managers and points of contact will remain the same, and all current contracts will remain in place with no change in our business agreements.
