ARTICLE II

EFFECT OF THE MERGER ON THE CAPITAL STOCK

OF THE CONSTITUENT CORPORATIONS

SECTION 2.1 Effect on Capital Stock. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the Company, Parent, Merger Sub or the holders of any of the following securities:

(a) Merger Consideration. Each share of Common Stock (as defined below) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (each such share, a “Share”) (other than (i) Shares owned by Parent, Merger Sub or any other wholly owned subsidiary of Parent immediately prior to the Effective Time and Shares owned by the Company immediately prior the Effective Time, including Shares held in treasury by the Company, and in each case not held on behalf of third parties (collectively, the “Cancelled Shares”) and (ii) the Dissenting Shares (as defined below)) shall be converted automatically into and shall thereafter represent the right to receive $330.00 per share in cash, without interest (the “Per Share Merger Consideration”). At the Effective Time, all of the Shares that have been converted into a right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration as provided in this Section 2.1(a) shall no longer be outstanding, shall be cancelled and extinguished automatically and shall cease to exist, and each former holder of such Shares that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will cease to have any rights with respect to such Shares, except for the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration to be paid in consideration therefor in accordance with this Article II.

(b) Cancellation of Cancelled Shares. Each Cancelled Share shall cease to be outstanding, shall be cancelled without any conversion thereof or payment of any consideration therefor and shall cease to exist.

(c) Merger Sub. Each share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Merger Sub, issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be converted into and become one validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Surviving Corporation and shall constitute the only outstanding shares of capital stock of the Surviving Corporation.

SECTION 2.2 Treatment of Company Equity Awards and Company ESPP.

(a) Treatment of Options. Immediately prior to the Effective Time, each outstanding and unexercised option to purchase Shares (an “Option”), whether granted under a Company Stock Plan or otherwise, shall, automatically and without any required action on the part of the holder thereof, become immediately vested and be cancelled and shall only entitle the holder of such Option to receive (without interest), at or promptly after the Effective Time, a one-time lump sum payment in an amount in cash equal to (i) the total number of Shares subject to such Option multiplied by (ii) the excess, if any, of the Per Share Merger Consideration over the exercise price per Share under such Option, less applicable Taxes required to be withheld with respect to such payment. For the avoidance of doubt, any Option which has a per Share exercise price that is greater than or equal to the Per Share Merger Consideration shall be cancelled at the Effective Time for no consideration or payment and shall have no further force or effect.

(b) Treatment of Company RSUs. Immediately prior to the Effective Time, each outstanding Company RSU, whether granted under a Company Stock Plan or otherwise, shall, automatically and without any required action on the part of the holder thereof, become immediately vested and be cancelled and shall only entitle the holder of such Company RSU to receive (without interest), at or promptly after the Effective Time, a one-time lump sum payment in an amount in cash equal to (i) the total number of Shares subject to such Company RSU immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by (ii) the Per Share Merger Consideration, less applicable Taxes required to be withheld with respect to such payment.

(c) Corporate Actions. At or prior to the Effective Time, the Company, the Board of Directors of the Company and the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company, as applicable, shall unanimously adopt any resolutions and take any actions which are necessary to effectuate the provisions of this Section 2.2 and shall take all actions necessary to terminate each Company Stock Plan and the Company ESPP as of the Effective Time without any ongoing liability to Parent.

(d) Required Payments. As promptly as reasonably practicable following the Closing Date, but in no event later than the second regularly scheduled payroll date following the Closing Date, the Surviving Corporation shall, and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, cause the applicable former holders of Options and Company RSUs to receive a payment from the Surviving Corporation, through its payroll system or payroll provider (to the extent applicable), of all amounts required to be paid to such former holders as of the Effective Time in respect of Options and Company RSUs that were cancelled and converted pursuant to Sections 2.2(a) or 2.2(b), as applicable (after giving effect to any required Tax withholdings as provided in Section 2.3(f)). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any payment owed to a holder of Options or Company RSUs as of the Effective Time pursuant to Sections 2.2(a) or 2.2(b), as applicable, cannot be made through the Surviving Corporation’s payroll system or payroll provider, then the Surviving Corporation shall issue a check for such payment to such holder (less applicable withholding taxes), as soon as practicable following the Closing Date.

SECTION 2.3 Surrender of Shares.

(a) Paying Agent. Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall enter into an agreement in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Company with a paying agent selected by Parent with the Company’s prior written approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably conditioned, withheld or delayed, to act as agent for the stockholders of the Company in connection with the Merger (the “Paying Agent”) to receive payment of the

-4-

aggregate Per Share Merger Consideration to which the stockholders of the Company shall become entitled pursuant to Section 2.1(a); provided that the Paying Agent, in its capacity as Paying Agent, shall not act as agent with respect to the Per Share Merger Consideration payable to the holders of the Options or Company RSUs pursuant to Section 2.2(a) or Section 2.2(b) that will be paid on behalf of the Surviving Corporation pursuant to Section 2.2(d) . At or promptly following the Effective Time, Parent shall deposit, or cause to be deposited, with the Paying Agent, a cash amount in immediately available funds sufficient in the aggregate to provide all funds necessary for the Paying Agent to pay the aggregate Per Share Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.1(a) (such cash being hereinafter referred to as the “Exchange Fund”) in trust for the benefit of the holders of the Shares that will be converted into the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.1(a). With respect to any Dissenting Shares, Parent shall not be required to deposit or cause to be deposited with the Paying Agent funds sufficient to pay the Per Share Merger Consideration that would be payable in respect of such Dissenting Shares if such Dissenting Shares were not Dissenting Shares. The Paying Agent shall invest the Exchange Fund solely as reasonably directed by Parent; provided that such investments shall be in obligations of or guaranteed by 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, in certificates of deposit, bank repurchase agreements or banker’s acceptances of commercial banks with capital exceeding $1 billion, or in money market funds having a rating in the highest investment category granted by a recognized credit rating agency at the time of acquisition or a combination of the foregoing. To the extent that there are losses with respect to such investments, or the Exchange Fund diminishes for other reasons below the level required to make prompt cash payment of the aggregate Per Share Merger Consideration as contemplated hereby, Parent shall promptly replace or restore, or cause to be replaced or restored, the cash in the Exchange Fund lost through such investments or other events so as to ensure that the Exchange Fund is at all times maintained at a level sufficient to make such cash payments. Any interest and other income resulting from such investment shall become a part of the Exchange Fund, and any amounts in excess of the amounts payable under Section 2.1(a) shall be the sole property of Parent and promptly returned to Parent or the Surviving Corporation, as requested by Parent. The funds deposited with the Paying Agent pursuant to this Section 2.3(a) shall not be used for any purpose other than as contemplated by this Section 2.3(a).

(b) Exchange Procedures.

(i) Transmittal Materials. Promptly after the Effective Time (and in any event within three (3) Business Days thereafter), the Surviving Corporation shall cause the Paying Agent to mail or otherwise provide to each former holder of record of a certificate or certificates that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding Shares, if any (“Certificates”), and each former holder of record of Shares held in book-entry form (“Book-Entry Shares”) (other than holders of Cancelled Shares and Dissenting Shares) (A) transmittal materials, including a letter of transmittal in customary form as agreed by the Parties, specifying that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates will pass, only upon delivery of the Certificates (or effective affidavits in lieu thereof in accordance with Section 2.3(e)) and a duly completed and validly executed letter of transmittal with respect to such Certificates to the Paying Agent or, with respect to Book-Entry Shares, only upon delivery of an “agent’s message” regarding the book-entry transfer of Book-Entry Shares (or such other evidence, if any, of the book-entry transfer of Book-Entry Shares as the Paying Agent may reasonably request), such transmittal materials to be in such form and to have such other provisions as Parent and the Company may reasonably agree, and (B) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates or Book-Entry Shares, as applicable, in exchange for the Per Share Merger Consideration.

-5-

(ii) Certificates. Following the Effective Time, upon surrender of one or more Certificates (or effective affidavits in lieu thereof in accordance with Section 2.3(e)) to the Paying Agent in accordance with the terms of such transmittal materials and instructions as contemplated in Section 2.3(b)(i), together with such letter of transmittal, duly completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto, each holder of record of one or more Certificates, if any, shall be entitled to receive, and Parent shall cause the Paying Agent to pay and deliver as promptly as reasonably practicable after such surrender following the Effective Time, a cash amount in immediately available funds (after giving effect to any required Tax withholdings as provided in Section 2.3(f)) equal to the product obtained by multiplying (A) the number of Shares represented by such Certificates by (B) the Per Share Merger Consideration, and the Certificates so surrendered shall immediately be cancelled. No interest will be paid or accrued on any amount payable upon due surrender of the Certificates.

(iii) Book-Entry Shares. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, any holder of Book-Entry Shares will not be required to deliver a Certificate to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration that such holder is entitled to pursuant to this Article II. In lieu thereof, each holder of record of one or more Book-Entry Shares (other than Cancelled Shares and Dissenting Shares) shall upon receipt by the Paying Agent following the Closing of an “agent’s message” in customary form (it being understood that the holders of Book-Entry Shares shall be deemed to have surrendered such Shares upon receipt by the Paying Agent of such “agent’s message” or such other evidence, if any, as the Paying Agent may reasonably request) be entitled to receive, and Parent shall cause the Paying Agent to pay and deliver as promptly as reasonably practicable after such receipt following the Effective Time, a cash amount in immediately available funds (after giving effect to any required Tax withholdings as provided in Section 2.3(f)) equal to the product obtained by multiplying (A) the number of Shares represented by such Book-Entry Shares by (B) the Per Share Merger Consideration, and the Book-Entry Shares so surrendered shall immediately be cancelled. No interest will be paid or accrued on any amount payable upon due surrender of the Book-Entry Shares.

(iv) Unrecorded Transfers; Other Payments. In the event of a transfer of ownership of Shares that is not registered in the transfer records of the Company or if payment of the Per Share Merger Consideration is to be made to a Person other than the Person in whose name the surrendered Certificates or Book-Entry Shares, as applicable, are registered, a check for any cash to be exchanged upon due surrender of the Certificates or Book-Entry Shares, as applicable, may be issued to such transferee or other Person if the Certificates or Book-Entry Shares, as applicable, formerly representing such Shares are properly presented to the Paying Agent accompanied by all documents required to evidence and effect such transfer and to evidence that any applicable transfer or other similar Taxes have been paid or are not applicable.

-6-

(v) Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 2.3(b), each Certificate and Book-Entry Share (other than Cancelled Shares and Dissenting Shares) shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive upon such surrender (together, if applicable, with a letter of transmittal, duly completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto, and such other documents as may reasonably be required pursuant to such instructions (as applicable)) the applicable Per Share Merger Consideration as contemplated by this Article II. The Surviving Corporation shall pay all charges and expenses of the Paying Agent in connection with the exchange of Shares for the Per Share Merger Consideration.

(c) Termination of Exchange Fund. Any portion of the Exchange Fund (including the proceeds of any investments thereof) that remains unclaimed by the former holders of Shares for 12 months after the Effective Time shall be delivered to the Surviving Corporation upon demand. Any holder of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares (other than Cancelled Shares and Dissenting Shares) who has not theretofore complied with this Article II shall thereafter be entitled to look to the Surviving Corporation only as general creditors thereof for payment of the Per Share Merger Consideration (after giving effect to any required Tax withholdings as provided in Section 2.3(f)) upon due surrender of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares acceptable to the Surviving Corporation, without any interest thereon in accordance with the provisions set forth in Section 2.3(b), and the Surviving Corporation shall remain liable for (subject to applicable abandoned property, escheat or other similar Laws) payment of such holder’s claim for the Per Share Merger Consideration payable upon such due surrender of its Certificates or Book-Entry Shares. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, none of the Surviving Corporation, Parent, the Company, the Paying Agent or any other Person shall be liable to any former holder of Shares for any amount properly delivered to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Laws. Any amounts remaining unclaimed by such holders immediately prior to such time at which such amounts would otherwise escheat to or become property of any Governmental Entity shall become, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, the property of the Surviving Corporation, free and clear of all claims of interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.

(d) Transfers. From and after the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed, and there shall be no transfers on the stock transfer books of the Surviving Corporation of the Shares that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, any evidence of a Certificate or Book-Entry Share is presented, and acceptable, to the Surviving Corporation, Parent or the Paying Agent for transfer, subject to compliance with the procedures set forth in this Article II, it shall be cancelled and exchanged for the cash amount in immediately available funds to which the holder thereof is entitled pursuant to Section 2.1(a) (without interest and after giving effect to any required Tax withholdings as provided in Section 2.3(f)). The Per Share Merger Consideration paid upon surrender of Certificates or receipt by the Paying Agent of an “agent’s message”, if applicable, in the case of Book-Entry Shares, in each case in accordance with the terms of this Article II, shall be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to the Shares formerly represented by such Certificates or Book-Entry Shares, as applicable.

-7-

(e) Lost Certificates. 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 and upon such customary terms as may be reasonably required by Parent as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it or the Surviving Corporation with respect to such Certificate and, subject to such Person’s compliance with the exchange provisions set forth in Section 2.3(b)(iii) (other than the surrender of a Certificate), the Paying Agent will issue a check in the amount (after giving effect to any required Tax withholdings as provided in Section 2.3(f)) equal to the amount the holder of such Certificate is entitled to as set forth in this Article II.

(f) Withholding Rights. Each of the Paying Agent, Parent, Merger Sub, the Company and the Surviving Corporation (and any agent or Affiliates thereof) shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any recipient of payments hereunder such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code or any other applicable state, local or foreign Tax Law. To the extent that amounts are so deducted or withheld by Parent, the Paying Agent, Merger Sub, the Company or the Surviving Corporation (or any agent or Affiliate thereof), as the case may be, such deducted or withheld amounts (i) shall be remitted by the Paying Agent, Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or the Surviving Corporation, as applicable, to the applicable Governmental Entity, and (ii) shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the applicable Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made by the Paying Agent, Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be.

SECTION 2.4 Appraisal Rights. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if required by the DGCL (but only to the extent required thereby) any Shares that are issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and that are held by holders who have not voted such Shares in favor of the adoption of this Agreement and who are entitled to and have properly demanded appraisal rights with respect thereto in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL, have complied in all respects with Section 262 of the DGCL and have not effectively withdrawn such demand (collectively, “Dissenting Shares”) shall not be converted into the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration as provided in Section 2.1(a), unless and until such Person shall have effectively withdrawn or otherwise lost or failed to perfect such Person’s right to appraisal or payment under the DGCL, at which time such Shares shall be treated as if they had been converted into and become exchangeable for the right to receive, as of the Effective Time, the Per Share Merger Consideration as provided in Section 2.1(a), without interest and after giving effect to any required Tax withholdings pursuant to Section 2.3(f), and such Shares shall not be deemed Dissenting Shares, and such holder thereof shall cease to have any other rights with respect to such Shares. Each Dissenting Share shall no longer be outstanding, shall automatically be cancelled and extinguished and shall cease to exist at the Effective Time, and each holder of Dissenting Shares shall be entitled to receive only the payment of the fair value of such Dissenting Shares in accordance with the provisions of, and as provided by, Section 262 of the DGCL with respect to such Dissenting Shares unless and until such Person shall have effectively withdrawn or otherwise lost or failed to perfect such Person’s right to appraisal or payment under the DGCL. The Company shall give Parent (a) prompt written notice of any written demands for appraisal, any withdrawals of such demands, and any other demand, notice, withdrawal or instrument pursuant to applicable Law that are received by or delivered to the Company relating to stockholders’ rights of appraisal or to such demands or withdrawals and (b) the opportunity to participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect thereto. The Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of Parent, make any payment with respect to any demands for appraisal or offer to settle or compromise, or settle or compromise or otherwise negotiate, any such demands, or approve any withdrawal of any such demands, or waive any failure to timely deliver a written demand for appraisal or otherwise to comply with the provisions under Section 262 of the DGCL, or propose or agree to do any of the foregoing.

-8-

SECTION 2.5 Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in the event that the number of Shares or securities convertible or exchangeable into or exercisable for Shares issued and outstanding after the date hereof and prior to the Effective Time shall have been changed into a different number of Shares or securities or a different class as a result of a reclassification, stock split (including a reverse stock split), combination, stock dividend or distribution, recapitalization, subdivision, merger, issuer tender or exchange offer, or other similar transaction, then the Per Share Merger Consideration shall be equitably adjusted to provide to Parent and the holders of Shares, Options and Company RSUs the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such event; provided that nothing in this Section 2.5 shall be construed to permit the Company, any subsidiary of the Company or any other Person to take any action that is otherwise prohibited by the terms of this Agreement.

SECTION 2.6 Further Assurances. If at any time after the Effective Time, Parent or the Surviving Corporation reasonably believes or is advised that any further instruments, deeds, assignments, actions or assurances are reasonably necessary or desirable to consummate the Merger and the transactions contemplated hereby or to carry out the purposes and intent of this Agreement, then Parent and the Surviving Corporation and their respective officers and directors shall be authorized to execute and deliver, following the Effective Time, all such proper instruments, deeds, assignments or assurances and do all other things reasonably necessary or desirable to consummate the Merger and the transactions contemplated hereby and to carry out the purposes and intent of this Agreement.

-42-

information then available, such Acquisition Proposal constitutes or would reasonably be expected to constitute, result in or lead to a Superior Proposal and that failure to engage in such communications, negotiations or discussions or failure to provide such access would be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law and (II) has received from the Person who has made such Acquisition Proposal an executed Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement; provided that (x) the Company shall provide to Parent and Merger Sub any non-public information or data that is provided to any Person given such access that was not previously made available to Parent or Merger Sub prior to or substantially concurrently with the time it is provided to such Person, (y) the Company shall promptly (and in any event within twenty four (24) hours) provide to Parent a copy of any such Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement and shall not terminate, waive, amend, release or fail to enforce any such Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement and (z) the Company shall promptly (and in any event within twenty four (24) hours) notify Parent of making any determination described in the foregoing clause (I) or taking any initial actions set forth in the foregoing clauses (A) or (B);

(c) Change of Recommendation.

(i) From the date hereof until the Effective Time or, if earlier, the valid termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 8.1, except to the extent permitted by Section 6.1(c)(ii) or Section 6.1(c)(iii), neither the Board of Directors nor any committee thereof shall make a Change of Recommendation.

(ii) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, prior to the time, but not after, the Company Requisite Vote is obtained, if an unsolicited bona fide Acquisition Proposal that did not result from a breach of Section 6.1 is received by the Company and that has not been withdrawn, and the Board of Directors of the Company determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel and its financial advisor(s) that such Acquisition Proposal would, if consummated, constitute a Superior Proposal, then the Board of Directors of the Company may, if the Board of Directors of the Company has determined in good faith after consultation with its financial advisors and outside legal counsel, that failure to take such action would be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law, (x) effect a Change of Recommendation or (y) terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(d)(ii) in order to enter into a definitive written agreement providing for such Superior Proposal; provided, however, that the Company pays to Parent any Company Termination Payment required to be paid pursuant to Section 8.2(b)(i); provided further, that, prior to taking such action described in clauses (x) or (y) above, (A) the Company shall give Parent written notice four (4) Business Days in advance (such period from the time the

-43-

Company Notice is provided until the end of the fourth (4^th) Business Day immediately following the day on which the Company delivered the Company Notice, the “Notice Period”), which notice shall set forth in writing that the Board of Directors of the Company intends to consider whether to take such action and including copies of or the material terms and conditions of the Acquisition Proposal that is the basis of the proposed action of the Board of Directors of the Company and the latest draft of any documentation being negotiated in connection with such Acquisition Proposal (such notice, the “Company Notice”), (B) after giving such Company Notice and prior to taking any action described in clauses (x) or (y) above, the Company shall, and shall direct its Representatives to, negotiate in good faith with Parent (to the extent requested by Parent), to enable Parent to propose such revisions to the terms of this Agreement as would cause such Acquisition Proposal to cease to be a Superior Proposal and (C) at the end of the Notice Period, prior to and as a condition to taking any action described in clauses (x) or (y) above, the Board of Directors of the Company shall take into account in good faith any changes to the terms of this Agreement proposed in writing by Parent in response to the Company Notice and any other information offered by Parent in response to the Company Notice, and shall have determined in good faith after consultation with its outside legal counsel and its financial advisor(s) that such Acquisition Proposal continues to constitute a Superior Proposal and the failure to take such action described in clauses (x) or (y) above would be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law, if such changes proposed in writing by Parent (if any) were to be given effect. Any amendment or revision to the financial terms or other material amendment, revision or supplement to any Acquisition Proposal will be deemed to be a new Acquisition Proposal for purposes of Section 6.1(d) and this Section 6.1(c)(ii) and require a new Company Notice, except that references in this Section 6.1(c)(ii) to “four (4) Business Days” shall be deemed to be references to “three (3) Business Days” and such three (3) Business Day period shall expire at end of the third (3^rd) Business Day immediately following the day on which such new Company Notice is delivered (it being understood and agreed that in no event shall any such additional three (3) Business Day Notice Period be deemed to shorten the initial four (4) Business Day Notice Period).

(iii) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, prior to the time, but not after, the Company Requisite Vote is obtained, other than as provided in Section 6.1(c)(ii), the Board of Directors of the Company may effect a Change of Recommendation if, and only if, (x) an Intervening Event has occurred, and (y) prior to taking such action, the Board of Directors of the Company has determined in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel and its financial advisor(s), that failure to take such action in response to such Intervening Event would be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law; provided, however, that prior to effecting such Change of Recommendation, (A) the Company shall give Parent a Company Notice four (4) Business Days in advance, which notice shall include a reasonably detailed description of such Intervening Event, (B) after giving such Company Notice and prior to effecting a Change of Recommendation, the Company shall, and shall direct its Representatives to, negotiate in good faith with Parent (to the extent requested by Parent), to enable Parent to propose revisions to the terms of this Agreement and (C) at the end of the Notice Period, prior to and as a condition to effecting a Change of Recommendation, the Board of Directors of the Company shall take into account in good

-44-

faith any changes to the terms of this Agreement proposed in writing by Parent in response to the Company Notice and any other information offered by Parent in response to the Company Notice, and shall have determined in good faith after consultation with its outside legal counsel and its financial advisor(s) that (I) such Intervening Event remains in effect and (II) the failure to effect a Change of Recommendation in response to such Intervening Event would be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law if such changes proposed in writing by Parent (if any) were to be given effect. Any material change to the facts and circumstances relating to any Intervening Event for purposes of Section 6.1(d) and this Section 6.1(c)(iii) shall require a new Company Notice, except that references in this Section 6.1(c)(iii) to “four (4) Business Days” shall be deemed to be references to “three (3) Business Days” (it being understood and agreed that in no event shall any such additional three (3) Business Day Notice Period be deemed to shorten the initial four (4) Business Day Notice Period).

(d) Notice of Acquisition Proposals. The Company agrees that immediately following the date hereof it shall promptly (and in any event within twenty four (24) hours or, if first received on a Saturday, within forty eight (48) hours) give notice to Parent in writing of the receipt of any Acquisition Proposal or any inquiry, proposal, indication of interest or offer regarding, or that could reasonably be expected to lead to, any Acquisition Proposal, including a copy of any inquiry, proposal, indication of interest, offer or Acquisition Proposal that are provided in writing (including any proposed term sheet, letter of intent, acquisition agreement, financing commitment or similar agreement with respect thereto), which notice shall include a copy or a summary of the material terms and conditions of, and the identity of the Person making, such inquiry, proposal indication of interest, offer or Acquisition Proposal and thereafter shall keep Parent informed of the status and material terms of any such inquiries, proposals, indications of interest or offers (including any material amendments or proposed material amendments thereto) and the status of, or any material developments, discussions or negotiations regarding, any such discussions or negotiations, on a reasonably prompt basis (and, in any event within twenty four (24) hours of any such material developments, discussions or negotiations). The Company shall promptly upon receipt or delivery thereof (and in any event within twenty four (24) hours), provide Parent with copies of all drafts and final versions of definitive agreements, including schedules and exhibits thereto relating to any such inquiry, proposal indication of interest, offer or Acquisition Proposal, in each case, exchanged between the Company or any of its Representatives, on the one hand, and the Person making such Acquisition Proposal or any of its Representatives, on the other hand. The Company shall substantially concurrently provide to Parent any nonpublic information concerning the Company provided to any other Person in connection with inquiry, proposal, indication of interest, offer or any Acquisition Proposal that was not previously provided to Parent. The Company agrees that it shall not enter into any confidentiality agreement with any Person subsequent to the date hereof which prohibits the Company from providing information to Parent in accordance with this Section 6.1.

(e) Existing Discussions. The Company agrees that following the date hereof it shall, and shall cause its subsidiaries and direct its and their respective Representatives to, (i) immediately cease any solicitations, discussions or negotiations with any Person (other than the Parties and their respective Representatives) in connection with any inquiry, proposals, indications of interests or offers regarding, or that could reasonably be expected to lead to, an

-45-

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, subject to compliance with this Section 6.1, the Company may grant a waiver, amendment or release under any confidentiality or standstill agreement (or any confidentiality or standstill provision of any agreement) to the extent necessary to allow for a confidential Acquisition Proposal to be made to the Company or the Board of Directors so long as (x) the Company promptly notifies Parent thereof (but not the identity of such counterparty) after granting any such waiver, amendment or release and (y) the Board of Directors of the Company has determined in good faith after consultation with its financial advisors and outside legal counsel that failure to take such action would be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law.

(f) It is agreed that any violation of the foregoing restrictions of this Section 6.1 by any subsidiary of the Company or by any Representative of the Company or of any subsidiary of the Company acting in their authorized capacities on behalf of the Company or any of its subsidiaries shall be deemed to be a breach of this Section 6.1 by the Company.

SECTION 6.2 Proxy Statement.

(a) The Company shall, with the assistance of Parent, prepare and file with the SEC, as promptly as reasonably practicable (and in any event within twenty (20) Business Days) after the date of this Agreement, the Proxy Statement. Parent, Merger Sub and the Company will cooperate with each other in the preparation of the Proxy Statement. Unless the Board of Directors of the Company has made a Change of Recommendation in accordance with Section 6.1(b)(iii), Section 6.1(c)(ii) or Section 6.1(c)(iii), the Recommendation shall be included in the Proxy Statement.

(b) Subject to applicable Law, and anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, prior to the filing of the Proxy Statement (or any amendment or supplement thereto), or any dissemination thereof to the stockholders of the Company, or responding to any comments from the SEC with respect thereto, or communicating substantively with the SEC with respect thereto, the Company shall provide Parent and its counsel with a reasonable opportunity to review and to comment on such document or response or communication, which the Company shall consider in good faith. Each of Parent and Merger Sub shall furnish to the Company the information relating to it required by the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder to be set forth in the Proxy Statement. The Company shall promptly notify Parent and Merger Sub upon the receipt of any comments from the SEC or its staff or any request from the SEC or its staff for amendments or supplements to the Proxy Statement and shall provide Parent with copies of all correspondence between it and its Representatives, on the one hand, and the SEC and its staff, on the other hand, relating to the Proxy Statement. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to (with the assistance of, and after consultation with, Parent) resolve all SEC comments with respect to the Proxy Statement as promptly as reasonably practicable after receipt thereof, including filing any amendments or supplements as may be required. The Company shall file the definitive Proxy Statement with the SEC and cause the definitive Proxy Statement to be mailed to holders of Shares as of the record date established for the Stockholders Meeting promptly after the date on which the Company is made aware that the SEC will not review the Proxy Statement or has no further comments on the Proxy Statement; provided, that if the SEC has failed to affirmatively notify the Company on or prior to the date that is ten (10) calendar days after the initial filing of the Proxy Statement with the SEC that it will or will not be reviewing the Proxy Statement, then such mailing shall occur reasonably promptly after such date and, in any event, no later than five (5) Business Days after such date.

(c) The Company agrees that the Proxy Statement shall comply as to form in all material respects with the requirements of the Exchange Act and that none of the information included or incorporated by reference in the Proxy Statement shall, at the date the Proxy Statement is filed with the SEC or mailed to the holders of Shares, at the time of the Stockholders Meeting, or at the time of any amendment or supplement thereof, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, except that no covenant is made by the Company with respect to statements made in the Proxy Statement based on information supplied by or on behalf of Parent specifically for inclusion or incorporation for reference therein. If at any time prior to the Stockholders Meeting any information relating to the Company or Parent, or any of their respective Affiliates, should be discovered by a Party, which information would require any amendment or supplement to the Proxy Statement so that the Proxy Statement would not include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, the Party that discovers such information shall promptly notify the other Party and the Company shall prepare

-48-

Each of the Company, Parent and Merger Sub agrees to promptly (i) correct any information provided by it specifically for use in the Proxy Statement if and to the extent that such information shall have become false or misleading in any material respect and (ii) supplement the information provided by it specifically for use in the Proxy Statement to include any information that shall become necessary in order to make the statements in the Proxy Statement, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The Company further agrees to cause the Proxy Statement as so corrected or supplemented promptly to be filed with the SEC and to be disseminated to its stockholders, in each case as and to the extent required by applicable Law.

SECTION 6.3 Stockholders Meeting. The Company, acting through its Board of Directors (or a committee thereof), shall as promptly as reasonably practicable following the date on which the Company is made aware that the SEC will not review the Proxy Statement or has no further comments on the Proxy Statement, take all action required under the DGCL, the Certificate of Incorporation, the Bylaws and the applicable requirements of the NASDAQ Global Market necessary to promptly and duly call, give notice of, convene and hold as promptly as reasonably practicable a meeting of its stockholders for the sole purpose of (a) approving and adopting this Agreement and (b) if and only if required by the DGCL, the Certificate of Incorporation, the Bylaws and the applicable requirements of the NASDAQ Global Market or otherwise mutually agreed, a vote upon other matters of the type customarily brought before a meeting of stockholders in connection with the approval of a merger or the transactions contemplated by a merger agreement (and not any other matters, including any Acquisition Proposal) (including any adjournment or postponement thereof, the “Stockholders Meeting”); provided that the Company may postpone, recess or adjourn such meeting (and shall postpone, recess or adjourn if requested by Parent (but in such case the Company shall not be required to postpone, recess or adjourn the Stockholders Meeting more than twice or more than twenty (20) Business Days in the aggregate)) (i) to the extent required by Law or fiduciary duty, (ii) to allow reasonable additional time to solicit additional proxies to the extent the Company reasonably believes necessary in order to obtain the Company Requisite Vote, (iii) if as of the time for which the Stockholders Meeting is originally scheduled (as set forth in the Proxy Statement) there are insufficient Shares represented (either in person or by proxy) and voting to constitute a quorum necessary to conduct the business of the Stockholders Meeting or (iv) to allow reasonable additional time for the filing and dissemination of any supplemental or amended disclosure which the Board of Directors of the Company has determined in good faith after consultation with outside counsel is necessary under applicable Law or fiduciary duty and for such supplemental or amended disclosure to be disseminated and reviewed by the Company’s stockholders prior to the Stockholders Meeting. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may not, without the prior written consent of Parent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), postpone, recess or adjourn the Stockholder Meeting more than a total of three (3) times pursuant to clauses (ii) or (iii) of the immediately preceding sentence, and no such postponement, recess or adjournment pursuant to clauses (ii) or (iii) of the immediately preceding sentence shall be, without the prior written consent of Parent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), for a period exceeding twenty (20) Business Days. The Stockholder Meeting shall in no event be scheduled for later than the fortieth (40th) day following the first mailing of the Proxy Statement to the Company’s stockholders without prior written consent of Parent (not to be unreasonably withheld,

-49-

conditioned or delayed). Promptly, (but in any case within five (5) Business Days) after the date of this Agreement (and thereafter, upon the reasonable request of Parent), the Company shall conduct “broker searches” in accordance with Rule 14a-13 of the Exchange Act in a manner to enable the Stockholder Meeting to be held by such date. Once the Company has established a record date for the Stockholder Meeting, the Company shall not change such record date or establish a different record date for the Stockholder Meeting without the prior written consent of Parent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), unless required to do so by applicable Law. The Company, acting through its Board of Directors (or a committee thereof), shall (a) include in the Proxy Statement the Recommendation (subject to Section 6.1(b)(iii)), and, subject to the consent of such Financial Advisor, the written opinion of the Financial Advisor, and (b) subject to Section 6.1(b)(iii), use its reasonable best efforts to obtain the Company Requisite Vote (it being understood that the foregoing shall not require the Board of Directors of the Company to recommend in favor of the adoption of this Agreement if a Change of Recommendation has been effected in accordance with Section 6.1(c)(ii) or Section 6.1(c)(iii)); provided that the Board of Directors of the Company may (A) fail to include the Recommendation in the Proxy Statement, (B) withdraw, modify, amend, qualify or change the Recommendation, (C) fail to recommend in a Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9 against any Acquisition Proposal that is a tender offer or exchange offer subject to Regulation 14D promulgated under the Exchange Act for outstanding Shares (other than by Parent or an Affiliate of Parent), in each case, within ten (10) Business Days after the commencement thereof, it being understood and agreed that, for all purposes of this Agreement, a communication by the Board of Directors of the Company to the stockholders of the Company in accordance with Rule 14d-9(f) of the Exchange Act shall not, in and of itself, be deemed to constitute a Change of Recommendation (so long as any such disclosure does not include any statement that constitutes, and does not otherwise constitute, a Change of Recommendation), (D) adopt, approve, recommend, submit to the stockholders of the Company or declare advisable or make a recommendation other than a rejection of (or publicly proposing to adopt, approve, recommend, submit to the stockholders of the Company or declare advisable or make any recommendation other than a rejection of) any Acquisition Proposal, (E) with respect to a tender offer or exchange offer subject to Regulation 14D promulgated under the Exchange Act for outstanding Shares, fail to publicly reaffirm the Recommendation within ten (10) Business Days of receiving a request from Parent to provide such reaffirmation following a publicly announced Acquisition Proposal; provided, that, Parent may deliver only three (3) such requests with respect to any such Acquisition Proposal or (F) formally resolve to effect or publicly announce an intention or resolution to effect any of the foregoing (any of the actions described in the foregoing clauses (A) through F), a “Change of Recommendation”), in each case solely in accordance with the terms and conditions of Section 6.1(c)(ii) or Section 6.1(c)(iii) and, following such Change of Recommendation, may fail to use such reasonable best efforts; provided, however, that, for the avoidance of doubt, none of (I) the determination by the Board of Directors of the Company that an Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal, (II) the taking of any action by the Company, its Board of Directors or any of its Representatives permitted by Section 6.1(b), (III) the delivery by the Company to Parent of any notice contemplated by Section 6.1(c)(ii) or Section 6.1(c)(iii) or (IV) the public disclosure, in and of itself, of the items in clauses (I) through (III) if required by applicable Law, will in and of itself constitute a Change of Recommendation. The Company shall, upon the reasonable request of Parent, provide Parent with regular updates, and use commercially reasonable efforts to provide at least on a daily basis on each of the last five (5) Business Days prior to the date of the Stockholder Meeting, with respect to the aggregate tally of proxies received by the Company with respect to the Company Requisite Vote.

SECTION 6.6 Access to Information; Confidentiality.

(a) From the date hereof to the Effective Time or the earlier valid termination of this Agreement, upon reasonable prior written notice from Parent, the Company shall, and shall cause its subsidiaries, officers, directors, employees and representatives to, afford Parent and its Representatives reasonable access, consistent with applicable Law, during normal business hours to the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ officers, employees, Contracts, books and records and properties, offices and other facilities; provided, that such access may be limited to the extent the Company or any of its subsidiaries reasonably determines, in light of COVID-19 or applicable COVID-19 Measures, that such access would reasonably be expected to jeopardize the health and safety of any employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, it being understood that the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to provide, or cause its subsidiaries to provide, such access in a manner that would not reasonably be expected to jeopardize the health and safety of the employees of the Company and its subsidiaries.

-54-

provisions in any agreement with a third party entered into prior to the date of this Agreement, (ii) result in a violation of applicable Law, including any fiduciary duty, (iii) waive the protection of any attorney-client privilege or (iv) result in the disclosure of any Personal Data that would reasonably be expected to expose the Company to liability under applicable Laws.

The Company may reasonably designate competitively sensitive material provided to Parent as “Outside Counsel Only Material” or with similar restrictions, which materials and the information contained therein shall be given only to the outside legal counsel of Parent, or otherwise as the restriction indicates, and be subject to any additional confidentiality or joint defense agreement between the Parties.

SECTION 6.9 Employee Benefits.

(a) For a period of at least 12 months following the Effective Time (or until the date of termination of the relevant Continuing Employee, if earlier), Parent shall provide, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to provide, to each employee of the Company or its subsidiaries who continues to be employed by the Surviving Corporation or any subsidiary (the “Continuing Employees”), (i) a salary, wage, target bonus opportunity and commissions opportunity that, in the aggregate, are no less favorable than the salary, wage, target bonus opportunity and commissions opportunity that were provided, in the aggregate, to such Continuing Employee immediately prior to the Effective Time; provided, however, that in no event shall any Continuing Employee’s salary be reduced from such Continuing Employee’s salary in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time and provided, further, subject to Section 6.9(a) of the Company Disclosure Letter, (ii) employee benefits (other than severance and termination benefits) that are substantially comparable in the aggregate to, in the discretion of Parent, (A) those provided to such Continuing Employee by the Company (or, if applicable, any of its subsidiaries) immediately prior to the Effective Time under Company Plans listed in Section 3.11(a) of the Company Disclosure Letter (other than under any defined benefit pension, post-employment welfare, nonqualified deferred compensation, severance and termination, retention, change in control, or similar compensation or benefits, equity or equity-based incentive plans or arrangements or employee stock purchase plans (the “Specified Arrangements”)), (B) those provided to such similarly situated employees of Parent or its Affiliates (other than the Specified Arrangements), or (C) a combination of (A) and (B), and (iii) severance and termination benefits that are no less favorable than the severance and termination benefits set forth on Section 6.9(a) of the Company Disclosure Letter.

(c) Unless otherwise requested by Parent at least five (5) days prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall, no later than one (1) Business Day prior to the Closing Date, cease contributions to, and adopt a written consent or resolution and take other necessary and appropriate action to terminate the Company’s 401(k) plan (the “Company 401(k) Plan”), with such termination to be effective no later than the Business Day immediately prior to the Closing Date (such Company 401(k) Plan cessation of contributions and termination may be made contingent upon the Closing).

-57-

(d) Nothing in this Agreement shall confer upon any Continuing Employee any right to continue in the employ or service of Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any Affiliate of Parent, or shall interfere with or restrict in any way the rights of Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any Affiliate of Parent, which rights are hereby expressly reserved, to discharge or terminate the services of any Continuing Employee at any time for any reason whatsoever, with or without cause.

SECTION 6.10 Directors’ and Officers’ Indemnification and Insurance.

(a) From and after the Effective Time through the sixth (6^th) anniversary of the date on which the Effective Time occurs, each of Parent and the Surviving Corporation agrees that it will indemnify and hold harmless each present (as of the Effective Time) and former director and officer of the Company or any of its subsidiaries (in each case, when acting in such capacity) (the “Indemnified Parties”), against any costs or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages, liabilities or awards paid in settlement incurred in connection with any actual or threatened claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative and whether formal or informal (each, a “Proceeding”), arising out of, relating to or in connection with the fact that such Person is or was a director or officer of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or serving in such capacity at the request thereof or any acts or omissions occurring or alleged to occur prior to the Effective Time in such person’s capacity as a director or officer of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or serving in such capacity at the request thereof, whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the Effective Time, to the fullest extent that the Company would have been permitted under Delaware Law and its Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws in effect on the date of this Agreement to indemnify such Person (and Parent or the Surviving Corporation shall advance expenses (including reasonable legal fees and expenses) incurred in the defense of any Proceeding, including any expenses incurred in enforcing such Person’s rights under this Section 6.10, regardless of whether indemnification with respect to or advancement of such expenses is authorized under the Certificate of Incorporation, the Bylaws or the certificate of incorporation and bylaws, or equivalent organizational documents, of any subsidiary; provided that the Person to whom expenses are advanced provides an undertaking to repay such advances if it is ultimately determined that such Person is not entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Section 6.10); provided further that any determination required to be made with respect to whether an officer’s or director’s conduct complies with the standards set forth under Delaware Law and the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws shall be made by independent counsel selected by the Surviving Corporation. In the event of any such Proceeding (x) neither Parent nor the Surviving Corporation shall settle, compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any Proceeding in which indemnification could be sought by such Indemnified Party hereunder, unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such Proceeding or such Indemnified Party otherwise consents, and (y) the Surviving Corporation shall reasonably cooperate in the defense of any such matter. In the event any Proceeding is brought against any Indemnified Party and in which indemnification could be sought by such Indemnified Party under this Section 6.10, (i) the Surviving Corporation shall have the right to control the defense thereof after the Effective Time, (ii) each Indemnified Party shall be entitled to retain his or her own counsel, whether or not the Surviving Corporation shall elect to control the defense of any such Proceeding, (iii) the Surviving Corporation shall pay all reasonable fees and expenses of any counsel retained by an Indemnified Party promptly after statements therefor are received, whether or not the Surviving Corporation shall elect to control the defense of any such Proceeding, and (iv) no Indemnified Party shall be liable for any settlement effected without his or her prior express written consent.

-58-

(b) Any Indemnified Party wishing to claim indemnification under Section 6.10, upon learning of any such Proceeding, shall promptly notify Parent thereof, but the failure to so notify shall not relieve Parent or the Surviving Corporation of any liability it may have to such Indemnified Party except to the extent such failure materially prejudices the indemnifying Party.

(c) The provisions in the Surviving Corporation’s certificate of incorporation and bylaws with respect to indemnification, advancement of expenses and exculpation of former or present directors and officers shall be no less favorable to such directors and officers than such provisions contained in the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws in effect as of the date hereof, which provisions shall not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified for a period of six years after the Effective Time in any manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of any such individuals.

(d) The Company shall purchase from insurance carriers with comparable credit ratings, no later than the Effective Time, a six-year prepaid “tail policy” providing at least the same coverage and amounts containing terms and conditions that are no less advantageous in the aggregate to the insured than the current policies of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance and fiduciary liability insurance maintained by the Company and its subsidiaries with respect to claims arising from facts or events that occurred at or before the Effective Time, including the transactions contemplated hereby, and from insurance carriers having at least an “A” rating by A.M. Best with respect to directors’ and officers’ liability insurance; provided, however, that after the Effective Time, Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall not be required to pay in the aggregate for such coverage under each such policy more than 300% of the last annual premium paid by the Company prior to the date hereof in respect of the coverage required to be obtained pursuant hereto under each such policy, but in such case shall purchase as much coverage as reasonably practicable for such amount. In the event the Company elects to purchase such a “tail policy”, the Surviving Corporation shall (and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to) maintain such “tail policy” in full force and effect for at least six years from the Effective Time and continue to honor their respective obligations thereunder. If the Company elects not to purchase such a “tail policy”, then Parent shall maintain, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to maintain, at no expense to the beneficiaries, in effect for at least six years from the Effective Time the current policies of the directors’ and officers’ liability insurance and fiduciary liability insurance maintained by the Company (provided that Parent or the Surviving Corporation may substitute therefor policies of at least the same coverage containing terms and conditions which are not less advantageous to any beneficiary thereof) with respect to matters existing or occurring at or prior to the Effective Time and from insurance carriers having at least an “A” rating by A.M. Best with respect to directors’ and officers’ liability insurance; provided, however, that after the Effective Time, Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall not be required to pay in the aggregate for such coverage under each such policy more than 300% of the last annual premium paid by the Company prior to the date hereof in respect of the coverage

-59-

required to be obtained pursuant hereto under each such policy, but in such case shall purchase as much coverage as reasonably practicable for such amount. Parent agrees to honor and perform under, and to cause the Surviving Corporation to honor and perform under, all indemnification agreements entered into by the Company or any of its subsidiaries with any Indemnified Party that are set forth in Section 6.10(d) of the Company Disclosure Letter.

(e) If Parent or the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective successors or assigns (i) shall consolidate with or merge into any other corporation 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 Parent or the Surviving Corporation shall assume all of the obligations set forth in this Section 6.10.

(f) The provisions of this Section 6.10 shall survive the Merger for a period of six (6) years following the Effective Time, are intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each of the Indemnified Parties and their heirs and representatives.

(g) The rights of the Indemnified Parties under this Section 6.10 shall be in addition to any rights such Indemnified Parties may have under the Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws of the Company or the comparable governing instruments of any of its subsidiaries, or under any applicable Contracts or Laws. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to, shall be construed to or shall release, waive or impair any rights to directors’ and officers’ insurance claims under any policy that is or has been in existence with respect to the Company or any of its subsidiaries or its or their respective officers, directors and employees, it being understood that the indemnification provided for in this Section 6.10 is not prior to, or in substitution for, any such claims under any such policies.

SECTION 6.11 Takeover Statutes. If any Takeover Law is or becomes applicable to the Merger or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, each of the Company, Parent and Merger Sub and the members of their respective Boards of Directors shall grant such approvals and shall use reasonably best efforts to take all such actions as are reasonably necessary so that such transactions may be consummated as promptly as reasonably practicable on the terms contemplated by this Agreement and otherwise act to eliminate or minimize the effects of such Takeover Law on such transactions. Nothing in this Section 6.11 shall be construed to permit Parent or Merger Sub to do any act that would constitute a violation or breach of, or as a waiver of any of the Company’s rights under, any other provision of this Agreement.

SECTION 6.12 Transaction Litigation. In the event that any stockholder litigation (including any class action or derivative litigation) related to this Agreement, the Merger or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the, including disclosures made under securities laws and regulations related thereto, is brought against the Company, its officers or any members of its Board of Directors after the date of this Agreement and prior to the Effective Time (the “Transaction Litigation”), the Company shall promptly notify Parent of any such Transaction Litigation and shall keep Parent reasonably informed with respect to the status thereof. The Company shall give Parent the opportunity to participate in (but not control) the

The Parties hereby further acknowledge and agree that prior to the Closing, each Party shall be entitled to seek specific performance to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of, and to prevent or cure breaches of this Agreement (for the avoidance of doubt, including Section 6.4 [Further Action; Efforts]) by the other Parties and to cause such other Parties to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby (for the avoidance of doubt, including to effect the Closing in accordance with Section 1.2 [Closing]), on the terms and subject to the conditions in this Agreement.
