THIS AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER (“Agreement”) is made and entered into as of August 15, 2013, by and among: Maxim Integrated Products, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), Victory Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Acquisition Sub”), and Volterra Semiconductor Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”). Certain capitalized terms used in this Agreement are defined in Exhibit A.

A. Parent, Acquisition Sub and the Company have determined that it is in the best interests of their respective stockholders for Parent to acquire the Company upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement.

B. In furtherance of the contemplated acquisition of the Company by Parent, and upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, Acquisition Sub has agreed to commence a tender offer (as it may be amended from time to time as permitted under this Agreement, the “Offer”) to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of Company Common Stock, at a per share price of $23.00 in cash (such amount, or any greater amount per share paid pursuant to the Offer and this Agreement, the “Offer Price”), without interest thereon and subject to any required Tax withholding.

C. Following the Acceptance Time and upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, Acquisition Sub shall merge with and into the Company upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement (the merger of Acquisition Sub with and into the Company being referred to in this Agreement as the “Merger”) and each share of Company Common Stock that is not tendered and accepted pursuant to the Offer shall upon the Merger be canceled and converted into the right to receive cash in an amount equal to the Offer Price.

D. Parent and the Company acknowledge and agree that the Merger shall be effected pursuant to Section 251(h) of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”) if the conditions of Section 251(h) can be satisfied and shall be consummated as soon as practicable following the completion of the Offer.

E. The Company’s board of directors has unanimously (i) determined that this Agreement, the Offer, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby, taken together, are fair to, advisable and in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders, and (ii) adopted resolutions approving this Agreement and the other transactions contemplated hereby, including the Offer and the Merger, declaring their advisability and recommending that the stockholders of the Company accept the Offer, tender their Company Common Stock to Acquisition Sub in the Offer, and, to the extent applicable, approve and adopt this Agreement and the Merger.

F. The board of directors of Acquisition Sub has unanimously (i) determined that this Agreement, the Offer, the Merger and the other Contemplated Transactions, taken together, are fair to, advisable and in the best interests of Acquisition Sub and its sole stockholder, and (ii) adopted resolutions approving this Agreement and the Contemplated Transactions, including the Offer and the Merger, declaring their advisability and recommending the adoption by its sole stockholder of this Agreement, the Offer, the Merger and the other Contemplated Transactions (and following execution and delivery of this Agreement, the sole stockholder of Acquisition Sub shall adopt this Agreement).

G. Concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, and as a condition and inducement to Parent’s and Acquisition Sub’s willingness to enter into this Agreement, each of the executive officers and directors of the Company is entering into the Tender and Support Agreement substantially in the form attached as Exhibit C (the “Tender and Support Agreement”).

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Acquisition Sub shall, and Parent shall cause Acquisition Sub to, commence (within the meaning of Rule 14d-2 under the Exchange Act) the Offer as promptly as reasonably practicable after the date of this Agreement, but in no event later than the 10th business day after the date of this

Agreement (unless another date shall be agreed to in writing by Parent and the Company); provided, however, that Acquisition Sub shall not be required to commence the Offer, and the 10 business day period (or such other period as shall be agreed to in writing by Parent and the Company) referred to in this sentence shall be accordingly extended, if the Company shall not: (i) have: (A) provided to Parent on a timely basis all information reasonably requested by Parent in connection with the preparation of the Offer Documents; or (B) reviewed and provided comments to Parent on the Offer Documents on a timely basis; (ii) have given: (A) Parent and its legal counsel reasonable opportunity to review and comment on the Schedule 14D-9 prior to the filing thereof with the SEC; or (B) due consideration to any such reasonable comments provided by Parent or its legal counsel; and (iii) be prepared to file with the SEC immediately following commencement of the Offer, and to disseminate to holders of shares of Company Common Stock, the Schedule 14D-9. The date on which Acquisition Sub commences the Offer, within the meaning of Rule 14d-2 under the Exchange Act, is referred to in this Agreement as the “Offer Commencement Date.”

(b) The obligation of Acquisition Sub (and the obligation of Parent to cause Acquisition Sub) to accept for payment, and pay for, shares of Company Common Stock validly tendered (and not withdrawn) pursuant to the Offer shall be subject to the satisfaction or (if permitted) waiver of (and shall not be subject to any other conditions): (i) the condition (the “Minimum Condition”) that prior to the scheduled expiration of the Offer, there shall be validly tendered (and not withdrawn) a number of shares of Company Common Stock (excluding shares of Company Common Stock tendered pursuant to guaranteed delivery procedures that have not yet been delivered in settlement or satisfaction of such guarantee) that, together with any shares of Company Common Stock owned by Parent, Acquisition Sub or another subsidiary of Parent immediately prior to the Acceptance Time, represents a majority of the Adjusted Outstanding Share Number; and (ii) the other conditions set forth in Exhibit B (the Minimum Condition and the other conditions set forth in Exhibit B are referred to collectively as the “Offer Conditions”). For purposes of this Agreement, the “Adjusted Outstanding Share Number” shall be the sum of: (A) the aggregate number of shares of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Acceptance Time; plus (B) an additional number of shares equal to the aggregate number of shares of Company Common Stock issuable upon the conversion, exchange or exercise, as applicable, of all options, warrants and other rights to acquire, or securities convertible into or exchangeable for, Company Common Stock that are outstanding immediately prior to the Acceptance Time (other than the Top-Up Option, if applicable, and Company Options that vest after the Outside Date).

(c) Parent and Acquisition Sub each expressly reserves the right, in its sole discretion to: (i) increase the Offer Price; and (ii) waive any Offer Condition or make any other changes to the terms and conditions of the Offer; provided, however, that without the prior written consent of the Company, neither Parent nor Acquisition Sub shall: (A) amend, modify or waive the Minimum Condition; or (B) make any change to the Offer that: (1) changes the form of consideration to be delivered by Acquisition Sub pursuant to the Offer; (2) decreases the Offer Price; (3) changes the Offer so it does not constitute an offer for any and all of the issued and outstanding shares of Company Common Stock; (4) amends or modifies any condition set forth in Exhibit B in any manner adverse (other than in an immaterial respect) to the holders of Company Common Stock; (5) imposes any conditions to the Offer in addition to the Offer Conditions; (6) except as provided in Section 1.1(d), extends or otherwise changes the expiration date of the Offer; or (7) otherwise amends the Offer in any manner adverse (other than in an immaterial respect) to the holders of Company Common Stock. Subject to the prior satisfaction of the Minimum Condition and the satisfaction, or waiver by Parent or Acquisition Sub, of the other Offer Conditions, as soon as practicable after the Expiration Date, Acquisition Sub shall: (x) consummate the Offer in accordance with its terms; (y) accept for payment all shares of Company Common Stock validly tendered (and not withdrawn) pursuant to the Offer (provided, however, that with regard to shares of Company Common Stock tendered pursuant to guaranteed delivery procedures that have not yet been delivered in settlement or satisfaction of such guarantee, Acquisition Sub shall be under no obligation to make any payment for such shares unless and until such shares are delivered in settlement or satisfaction of such guarantee); and (z) pay the Offer Price in exchange for each share of Company Common Stock validly tendered (and not withdrawn) pursuant to the Offer promptly as required by Rules 14d-11(e) and 14e-1(c) under the Exchange Act. The Offer Price payable in respect of each share of Company Common Stock validly tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to the Offer or any subsequent offering period contemplated by Section 1.1(d) hereof shall be paid to the holder thereof in cash or immediately available funds, without interest and subject to any applicable withholding Taxes. To the extent any such amounts are 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.

(d) The Offer shall initially be scheduled to expire at 9:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the date that is 21 business days following the Offer Commencement Date (calculated as set forth in Rule 14d-1(g)(3) and Rule 14e-1(a) under the Exchange Act) (the “Initial Expiration Date,” such date or such subsequent date to which the expiration of the Offer is extended in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the “Expiration Date”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, but subject to the parties’ respective termination rights under Section 8.1: (i) if, as of the scheduled Expiration Date, any Offer Condition is not satisfied and has not been waived, Acquisition Sub may, in its discretion (and without the consent of the Company or any other Person), extend the Offer on one or more occasions, for an additional period of up to 10 business days per extension, to permit such Offer Condition to be satisfied; (ii) Acquisition Sub shall extend the

Offer from time to time for the minimum period required by any Legal Requirement, any interpretation or position of the SEC, the staff thereof or the Nasdaq Stock Market applicable to the Offer; and (iii) if, as of the scheduled Expiration Date, any Offer Condition is not satisfied and has not been waived, at the request of the Company, Acquisition Sub shall extend the Offer on one or more occasions for an additional period of up to 10 business days per extension, to permit such Offer Condition to be satisfied; provided, however, that in no event shall Acquisition Sub: (1) be required to extend the Offer beyond the Outside Date; or (2) be permitted to extend the Offer beyond the Outside Date without the prior written consent of the Company. If there has been a 251(h) Inapplicable Determination and the Parent determines not to exercise the Top-Up Option because the exercise of the Top-Up Option in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in Section 1.4 would violate applicable Legal Requirements, then Acquisition Sub may, and if requested by the Company, shall make available one or more “subsequent offering periods”, in accordance with Rule 14d-11 of the Exchange Act, of not less than three business days each and not more than 20 business days in the aggregate for all subsequent offering periods. Acquisition Sub shall not terminate the Offer prior to any scheduled Expiration Date without the prior written consent of the Company except in the event that this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 8.

(e) On the Offer Commencement Date, Parent and Acquisition Sub shall: (i) cause to be filed with the SEC, a Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO with respect to the Offer (together with all amendments and supplements thereto, the “Schedule TO”), which shall contain an offer to purchase and a related letter of transmittal containing the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement (including Exhibit B) and summary advertisement (such Schedule TO and the documents included therein pursuant to which the Offer shall be made, together with any supplements or amendments thereto, being referred to as the “Offer Documents Offer Documents”); and (ii) cause the Offer Documents to be disseminated to holders of shares of Company Common Stock as and to the extent required by the United States securities Legal Requirements. Parent and Acquisition Sub shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Offer Documents and the filing and dissemination thereof to comply in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and the Securities Act, as applicable, and with all other applicable Legal Requirements. The Company and its legal counsel shall be given reasonable opportunity to review and comment on the Offer Documents (including all amendments and supplements thereto) prior to the filing thereof with the SEC and Parent and Acquisition Sub shall give due consideration to any such reasonable comments. Parent and Acquisition Sub shall promptly notify the Company and its legal counsel upon the receipt of any comments received by Parent, Acquisition Sub or their legal counsel from the SEC or its staff with respect to the Offer Documents, or any request from the SEC for amendments or supplements to the Offer Documents, and shall promptly provide the Company and its legal counsel with copies of all written correspondence between them and their Representatives, on the one hand, and the SEC, on the other hand, or, if not in writing, a description of such communication. Parent and Acquisition Sub shall give the Company and its legal counsel a reasonable opportunity to participate in preparing the proposed response of Parent and Acquisition Sub to comments received from the SEC or its staff and to provide comments on any proposed response thereto, and Parent and Acquisition Sub shall give due consideration to any such reasonable comments. Each of Parent, Acquisition Sub and the Company: (1) shall use commercially reasonable efforts to respond promptly to any comments of the SEC or its staff with respect to the Offer Documents or the Offer; and (2) to the extent required by the applicable requirements of United States securities Legal Requirements, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly correct any information provided by it for use in the Offer Documents to the extent such information shall be or shall have become false or misleading in any material respect, and Parent and Acquisition Sub shall take all steps necessary to cause the Offer Documents, as supplemented or amended to correct such information, to be filed with the SEC and, to the extent required by the United States securities Legal Requirements, to be disseminated to holders of shares of Company Common Stock. The Company shall promptly furnish to Parent and Acquisition Sub all information concerning the Acquired Corporations and the Company’s stockholders that may be required or reasonably requested in connection with any action contemplated by this Section 1.1(e).

(f) If, between the date of this Agreement and the date on which any particular share of Company Common Stock is accepted for payment pursuant to the Offer, the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock are changed into a different number or class of shares by reason of any stock split, division or subdivision of shares, stock dividend, reverse stock split, consolidation of shares, reclassification, recapitalization or other similar transaction, or if a record date with respect to any such event shall occur during such period, then the Offer Price shall be appropriately adjusted.

(g) Without limiting the generality of Section 9.13, Parent shall cause to be provided to Acquisition Sub all of the funds necessary to purchase any shares of Company Common Stock that Acquisition Sub becomes obligated to purchase pursuant to the Offer, and shall cause Acquisition Sub to comply with, on a timely basis, all of Acquisition Sub’s obligations under this Agreement.

(a) Subject to Section 5.3, the Company hereby approves of and consents to the Offer and represents and warrants to Parent and Acquisition Sub that the Company’s board of directors, at a meeting duly called and held (the “Company Board Meeting”), has unanimously: (i) determined that this Agreement and the Contemplated Transactions, including the Offer and

the Merger, taken together, are fair to and in the best interests of the Company and the Company’s stockholders; (ii) determined that neither Parent nor Acquisition Sub is an “interested stockholder” as defined in Section 203 of the DGCL; (iii) approved and adopted this Agreement and approved the Contemplated Transactions, including the Offer and the Merger, in accordance with the requirements of the DGCL and resolved that the Merger is governed by Section 251(h) of the DGCL and that the Merger shall be consummated as soon as practicable following the Acceptance Time; (iv) declared the advisability of this Agreement; (v) resolved to recommend that the stockholders of the Company accept the Offer and tender their shares of Company Common Stock to Acquisition Sub pursuant to the Offer and, to the extent required to consummate the Merger, approve and adopt this Agreement (the recommendation of the Company’s board of directors that the stockholders of the Company accept the Offer and tender their shares of Company Common Stock pursuant to the Offer and approve and adopt this Agreement being referred to as the “Company Board Recommendation”); (vi) to the extent necessary, adopted a resolution having the effect of causing the Company not to be subject to any “fair price,” “moratorium,” “control share acquisition,” “interested stockholder,” “business combination” or similar restriction set forth in any state takeover law or other Legal Requirement that might otherwise apply to the Tender and Support Agreement, the Offer, the Merger or any of the other Contemplated Transactions; and (vii) directed that the approval and adoption of this Agreement be submitted to the stockholders of the Company, as promptly as practicable after the Acceptance Time, if required to consummate the Merger under the DGCL. Subject only to Section 5.3, the Company consents to the inclusion of the Company Board Recommendation in the Offer Documents and the inclusion of the foregoing determinations in the Offer Documents.

(b) Contemporaneously with the filing by Parent and Acquisition Sub of the Schedule TO, the Company shall file with the SEC and (contemporaneously with the dissemination of the Offer Documents) disseminate to holders of shares of Company Common Stock a Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9 (together with any amendments or supplements thereto, the “Schedule 14D-9”) that shall reflect the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the information required by Section 1.3(b), shall reflect that the Merger is governed by Section 251(h) of the DGCL and shall be consummated as soon as practicable following the completion of the Offer (which, subject to Section 7, shall be immediately following the Acceptance Time), and, subject only to Section 5.3, shall reflect the Company Board Recommendation and the same determinations and approvals of the Company’s board of directors as set forth in the Offer Documents in accordance with Section 1.2(a). The Company shall also include in the Schedule 14D-9, in its entirety, the Fairness Opinion, together with a summary thereof in accordance with Item 1015(b) of Regulation M-A under the Exchange Act (regardless of whether such item is applicable). The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Schedule 14D-9 and the filing and dissemination thereof to comply in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and with all other applicable Legal Requirements. Parent and its legal counsel shall be given reasonable opportunity to review and comment on the Schedule 14D-9 (including any amendment or supplement thereto) prior to the filing thereof with the SEC and the Company shall give due consideration to any such reasonable comments. The Company shall promptly notify Parent and its legal counsel upon the receipt of any comments from the SEC, or any request from the SEC for amendments or supplements, to the Schedule 14D-9, and shall promptly provide Parent and its legal counsel with copies of all written correspondence between them and their Representatives, on the one hand, and the SEC, on the other hand, or, if not in writing, a description of such communication. The Company shall give Parent and its counsel a reasonable opportunity to participate in preparing the proposed response of the Company to comments received from the SEC or its staff and to provide comments on any proposed response thereto, and the Company shall give due consideration to any such reasonable comments. Each of Parent, Acquisition Sub and the Company: (1) shall use commercially reasonable efforts to respond promptly to any comments of the SEC or its staff with respect to the Schedule 14D-9; and (2) to the extent required by the applicable requirements of the Exchange Act or by other applicable Legal Requirements, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly correct any information provided by it for use in the Schedule 14D-9 to the extent that such information shall be or shall have become false or misleading in any material respect and the Company shall take all steps necessary to cause the Schedule 14D-9, as supplemented or amended to correct such information, to be filed with the SEC and, to the extent required by applicable Legal Requirements, to be disseminated to holders of shares of Company Common Stock. Parent and Acquisition Sub shall promptly furnish to the Company all information concerning Parent, Acquisition Sub and the Offer that may be required or reasonably requested in connection with any action contemplated by this Section 1.2(b).

(c) The Company shall promptly provide to Parent and Acquisition Sub: (i) a list of the Company’s stockholders, non-objecting beneficial owners, mailing labels and any available listing or computer file containing the names and addresses of all record holders of shares of Company Common Stock and lists of securities positions of shares of Company Common Stock held in stock depositories, in each case true, correct and complete as of the most recent practicable date; and (ii) such additional information (including updated lists of stockholders, non-objecting beneficial owners, mailing labels and lists of securities positions) as Parent may reasonably request in connection with the Offer or the Merger. Subject to applicable Legal Requirements, and except for such steps as are necessary to disseminate the Offer Documents and any other documents necessary to consummate the Contemplated Transactions, Parent and Acquisition Sub shall hold in confidence in accordance with the Confidentiality Agreement the information contained in any such labels, lists, listings, files and other information, shall use such information only in connection with the Offer and the Merger and, if this Agreement shall be terminated, shall,

upon request of the Company, deliver (and shall use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to cause their Representatives to deliver) to the Company or destroy any and all copies and any extracts or summaries of such information then in their possession or control. In addition, in connection with the Offer, the Company shall cooperate and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause applicable third parties to cooperate with Parent and Acquisition Sub to disseminate the Offer Documents to holders of Company Common Stock held in or subject to any Company Plan or Company Employee Plan.

(a) Effective upon the Acceptance Time and from time to time thereafter (including upon acceptance of Company Common Stock tendered during any subsequent offering period), Parent shall be entitled to designate, to serve on the Company’s board of directors, the number of directors, rounded up to the next whole number, determined by multiplying: (i) the total number of directors on the Company’s board of directors (giving effect to any increase in the size of the Company’s board of directors effected pursuant to this Section 1.3(a)); by (ii) a fraction having a numerator equal to the aggregate number of shares of Company Common Stock then beneficially owned by Parent or Acquisition Sub (including all shares of Company Common Stock accepted for payment pursuant to the Offer), and having a denominator equal to the total number of shares of Company Common Stock then issued and outstanding (provided, however, that, in no event shall Parent’s director designees constitute less than a majority of the entire board of directors of the Company after the Acceptance Time). The Company shall take all action necessary to cause Parent’s designees to be elected or appointed to the Company’s board of directors, including seeking and accepting resignations of incumbent directors and, if such resignations are not obtained, increasing the size of the Company’s board of directors. From and after the Acceptance Time, to the extent requested by Parent, the Company shall also cause individuals designated by Parent to constitute the number of members, rounded up to the next whole number, on: (1) each committee of the Company’s board of directors; and (2) the board of directors of each Subsidiary of the Company (and each committee thereof) that represents at least the same percentage as individuals designated by Parent represent on the board of directors of the Company. After the Acceptance Time, upon Parent’s request, the Company shall take all action necessary to elect to be treated as a “controlled company” as defined by Nasdaq Stock Market Rule 4350(c) and make all necessary filings and disclosures associated with such status. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 1.3, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that, at all times after the Acceptance Time and prior to the Effective Time, at least two of the members of the Company’s board of directors are individuals who were directors of the Company on the date of this Agreement (“Continuing Directors”); each of whom shall be “independent directors” as defined by Rule 5605(a)(2) of the Nasdaq Marketplace Rules; provided, however, that: (x) if at any time after the Acceptance Time and prior to the Effective Time there shall be only one Continuing Director serving as a director of the Company for any reason, then the Company’s board of directors shall cause an individual who satisfies the aforementioned independence requirements and selected by the remaining Continuing Director to be appointed to serve on the Company’s board of directors (and such individual shall be deemed to be a Continuing Director for all purposes under this Agreement); and (y) if at any time after the Acceptance Time and prior to the Effective Time no Continuing Directors remain on the Company’s board of directors, then the Company’s board of directors shall appoint two individuals who satisfy the aforementioned independence requirements and who are not officers, employees or Affiliates of the Company, Parent or Acquisition Sub to serve on the Company’s board of directors (and such individuals shall be deemed to be Continuing Directors for all purposes under this Agreement).

(b) The Company’s obligations to appoint Parent’s designees to the Company’s board of directors shall be subject to Section 14(f) of the Exchange Act and Rule 14f-1 promulgated thereunder. In connection with the performance of its obligations to cause Parent’s designees to be elected or appointed to the Company’s board of directors, the Company shall promptly take all actions, and shall include in the Schedule 14D-9 such information with respect to the Company and its officers and directors, as Section 14(f) of the Exchange Act and Rule 14f-1 thereunder require; provided, that the Company’s obligations under Section 1.3(a) shall be subject to the Company’s timely receipt of the information with respect to Parent and its nominees, officers, directors and Affiliates required by Section 14(f) of the Exchange Act and Rule 14f-1 thereunder. Parent shall provide to the Company and be solely responsible for any information with respect to itself and its nominees, officers, directors and Affiliates required by Section 14(f) and Rule 14f-1. The provisions of this Section 1.3 are in addition to, and shall not limit, any right that Acquisition Sub, Parent or any Affiliate of Acquisition Sub or Parent may have (with respect to the election of directors or otherwise) under applicable Legal Requirements as a holder or beneficial owner of shares of Company Common Stock.

(c) Following the election or appointment of Parent’s designees to the Company’s board of directors pursuant to Section 1.3(a) and until the Effective Time, the approval of a majority of the Continuing Directors shall be required to authorize any of the following actions of the Company (each, an “Adverse Action”), in addition to the approvals by the Company Board or the stockholders of the Company that may be required by the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Company or applicable Legal Requirements, including applicable stock exchange requirements, for the Company to: (i) amend, modify or terminate this Agreement, or agree or consent to any amendment, modification or termination of this Agreement; (ii) extend the time of performance of, or waive, any of the obligations or other acts of Parent or Acquisition Sub under this

Agreement, or to exercise or waive any of the Company’s rights, benefits or remedies hereunder; (iii) except as expressly provided herein, amend the certificate of incorporation or bylaws of the Company; (iv) authorize or execute any Contract, or any amendment or modification of any Contract, between the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and Parent, Acquisition Sub or any of their Affiliates on the other hand, or the termination of any such Contract then in effect; (v) make any determination or give any approval or authorization that is required to be taken or given by the Company’s board of directors with respect to any action to be taken or not to be taken by or on behalf of the Company relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, including the Offer and the Merger; or; (vi) take any other action or make any other determination of the Company’s board of directors under or in connection with this Agreement or the Contemplated Transactions if such action would reasonably be expected to adversely to affect the holders of shares of the Company Common Stock (other than Parent or Acquisition Sub); provided, however, that if there shall be no Continuing Directors as a result of such individuals’ deaths, disabilities, resignations or refusal to serve, then such actions may be effected by majority vote of the directors who are considered Independent Directors, or, if no such directors are then in office, by a majority vote of the Company’s board of directors.

(a) Prior to the scheduled Acceptance Time, Parent and the Company shall confer and mutually determine, in good faith, after consulting with their respective outside legal counsel, whether the Merger remains eligible to be effected pursuant to Section 251(h) of the DGCL. Unless Parent and the Company determine that the Merger is ineligible to be effected pursuant to Section 251(h) of the DGCL (the “251(h) Inapplicable Determination”) the Merger shall be effected in accordance with Section 251(h) of the DGCL. If prior to the Effective Time, Parent and the Company make a 251(h) Inapplicable Determination then, contingent and effective upon the occurrence of the 251(h) Inapplicable Determination and the Acceptance Time, the Company hereby grants to Acquisition Sub an irrevocable option (the “Top-Up Option”), exercisable only on the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 1.4, to purchase from the Company the number of newly-issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of Company Common Stock (the “Top-Up Shares”) equal to the number of shares of Company Common Stock that, when added to the number of shares of Company Common Stock owned by Parent or Acquisition Sub at the time of exercise of the Top-Up Option, constitutes at least one share more than 90% of the number of shares of Company Common Stock that are then issued and outstanding taking into account the issuance of all shares of Company Common Stock to be issued upon exercise of the Top-Up Option.

(b) The Top-Up Option shall be exercised by Acquisition Sub from and after the Acceptance Time and prior to the earlier to occur of (1) the Effective Time and (2) the valid termination of this Agreement. The Top-Up Option may be exercised by Acquisition Sub, if: (i) the 251(h) Inapplicable Determination has been made; (ii) all of the Conditions to the Offer have been satisfied or (to the extent permitted) waived; (iii) at the time of exercise of the Top-Up Option, the number of shares of Company Common Stock owned by Parent or Acquisition Sub immediately following the Acceptance Time does not constitute at least one share more than 90% of the number of shares of Company Common Stock that are then issued and outstanding; (iv) the exercise of the Top-Up Option would result in Parent or Acquisition Sub owning at least one share more than 90% of the number of shares of Company Common Stock that are then issued and outstanding taking into account the issuance of all shares of Company Common Stock to be issued upon exercise of the Top-Up Option; and (v) the exercise of the Top-Up Option in accordance with this Section 1.4 would not violate any applicable Legal Requirements. The Top-Up Option shall not be exercised if the number of shares of the Company Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Top-Up Option would exceed the number of authorized but unissued shares of the Company Common Stock that are not reserved or otherwise committed to be issued. The Top-Up Option shall not be exercised if Acquisition Sub has not accepted for payment all shares of Company Common Stock validly tendered in the Offer and not withdrawn.

(c) The aggregate purchase price payable for the shares of Company Common Stock being purchased by Acquisition Sub pursuant to the Top-Up Option shall be determined by multiplying the number of such shares by the Offer Price. Acquisition Sub shall pay the Company a portion of the purchase price equal to the aggregate par value of the Top-Up Shares in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds. The balance of such purchase price may be paid by Acquisition Sub, at its election: (1) entirely in cash, by wire transfer of immediately available funds; (2) by executing and delivering to the Company a full recourse promissory note having a principal amount equal to the balance of the purchase price, or (3) partly in cash and partly by delivering to the Company a promissory note having a principal amount equal to the balance of the purchase price not paid in cash. Any promissory note: (I) shall be executed by Parent and Acquisition Sub; (II) shall be due and payable on the first anniversary of the date of execution and delivery thereof; (III) shall bear simple interest at the rate of 3% per annum, payable in arrears at the time the promissory note is repaid; (IV) shall be full recourse against Parent and Acquisition Sub; (V) may be prepaid, in whole or in part, at any time without premium or penalty; (VI) shall provide that the unpaid principal amount and accrued interest under the promissory note shall immediately become due and payable in the event that (a) Parent or Acquisition Sub fails to make any payment of interest on the promissory note as provided therein and such failure continues for a period of thirty (30) days or (b) Parent or Acquisition Sub files or has filed against it any petition under any bankruptcy or insolvency Legal Requirements or makes a general assignment for the benefit of creditors and shall have no other material terms; and (VII) shall have no other material terms.

(d) Parent, Acquisition Sub and the Company acknowledge and agree that, in any appraisal proceeding related to this Agreement, the fair value of the shares of Company Common Stock subject to the appraisal proceeding shall be determined in accordance with the DGCL without regard to the exercise by Acquisition Sub of the Top-Up Option, any shares of Company Common Stock issued upon exercise of the Top-Up Option or the promissory note.

(e) In the event Acquisition Sub wishes to exercise the Top-Up Option, Acquisition Sub shall deliver to the Company a notice (the “Top-Up Notice”) setting forth: (i) the manner in which Acquisition Sub intends to pay the applicable purchase price; and (ii) the place and time at which the closing of the purchase of such shares of Company Common Stock by Acquisition Sub is to take place. The Company shall, as soon as practicable following receipt of such notice, notify Acquisition Sub of the number of shares of Company Common Stock that are then issued and outstanding and the number of Top-Up Shares as of such time, and, upon Parent’s request, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause its transfer agent to certify in writing to Acquisition Sub the number of shares of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding as of immediately prior to the exercise of the Top-Up Option and after giving effect to the issuance of the Top-Up Shares. At the closing of the purchase of such shares of Company Common Stock, Acquisition Sub shall cause to be delivered to the Company the consideration required to be delivered in exchange for such shares, and the Company shall cause to be issued to Acquisition Sub a certificate representing such shares.

(f) Parent and Acquisition Sub acknowledge that any Top-Up Shares issued upon exercise of the Top-Up Option shall not be registered under the Securities Act and that all such Top-Up Shares shall be issued in reliance upon an applicable exemption from registration under the Securities Act. Each of Parent and Acquisition Sub hereby represents and warrants to the Company that Parent and Acquisition Sub are, and shall be, upon the purchase of the Top-Up Shares, “accredited investors,” as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D under the Securities Act.

2.4 Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws; Directors and Officers. Unless otherwise determined by Parent prior to the Effective Time:

(a) the certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation shall be amended in its entirety pursuant to the Merger at the Effective Time or immediately thereafter to conform to the certificate of incorporation of Acquisition Sub as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, except that the name of the Surviving Corporation shall be “Volterra Semiconductor Corporation” and, as so amended, shall be the certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter changed or amended as provided therein or by applicable Legal Requirements;

(b) the bylaws of the Surviving Corporation shall be amended and restated at the Effective Time or immediately thereafter to conform to the bylaws of Acquisition Sub as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, and, as so amended, shall be the bylaws of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter changed or amended as provided therein or by applicable Legal Requirements; and

(c) the directors and officers of the Surviving Corporation immediately after the Effective Time shall be the respective individuals who are directors and officers of Acquisition Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time, until the earlier of their resignation or removal or until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified, as the case may be.

(a) At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any further action on the part of Parent, Acquisition Sub, the Company or any stockholder of the Company:

(i) any shares of Company Common Stock then held by the Company (or held in the Company’s treasury) shall be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist, and no consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor;

(ii) any shares of Company Common Stock then held by any wholly owned Subsidiary of the Company shall be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist, and no consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor;

(iii) any shares of Company Common Stock then held by Parent, Acquisition Sub or any other wholly owned Subsidiary of Parent shall be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist, and no consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor;

(iv) except as provided in clauses “(i),” “(ii)” and “(iii)” above and subject to Section 2.5(b), Section 2.6(e) and Section 2.7, each share of Company Common Stock then outstanding shall be converted into the right to receive the Offer Price (the “Merger Price”), without interest thereon and subject to any required Tax withholding; and

(v) each share of the common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of Acquisition Sub then outstanding shall be converted into and become one validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Surviving Corporation.

(b) If, between the date of this Agreement and the earlier of the Effective Time and the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8 (the “Pre-Closing Period”), the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock are changed into a different number or class of shares by reason of any stock split, division or subdivision of shares, stock dividend, reverse stock split, consolidation of shares, reclassification, recapitalization or other similar transaction, or if a record date with respect to any such event shall occur during such period, then the Merger Price shall be appropriately adjusted.

(a) Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall designate a bank or trust company (the “Exchange Agent”) to receive the funds for purposes of effecting the payment and distribution of the Merger Price contemplated by Section 2.5(a)(iv). Promptly after the Effective Time, Parent shall deposit, or cause to be deposited, with the Exchange Agent cash in an amount representing the aggregate Merger Price payable pursuant to Section 2.5(a)(iv) in exchange for outstanding shares of Company Common Stock, to be paid in respect of Stock Certificates and Book-Entry Shares by the Exchange Agent in accordance with this Agreement. Such funds deposited with the Exchange Agent are referred to herein as the “Payment Fund.” Such funds shall be invested by the Exchange Agent as directed by Parent, in its sole discretion, pending payment thereof by the Exchange Agent to the holders of the shares of Company Common Stock. Earnings from such investments shall be the sole and exclusive property of Parent, and no part of such earnings shall accrue to the benefit of holders of shares of Company Common Stock.

(b) As soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Exchange Agent to mail to the Persons who, immediately prior to the Effective Time, were record holders of certificates representing shares of Company Common Stock (“Stock Certificates”) or non-certificated shares of Company Common Stock represented by book-entry (“Book-Entry Shares”): (i) a letter of transmittal in customary form and containing such provisions as Parent may reasonably specify (including a provision confirming that delivery of Stock Certificates shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to Stock Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of such Stock Certificates to the Exchange Agent); and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of Stock Certificates or Book-Entry Shares. Upon surrender of a Stock Certificate or a Book-Entry Share to the Exchange Agent for exchange, together with a duly executed letter of transmittal and such other documents as may be reasonably required by the Exchange Agent or Parent: (A) the holder of such Stock Certificate or Book-Entry Share shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor the Merger Price payable to such holder pursuant to Section 2.5(a)(iv) in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to the shares of Company Common Stock formerly represented by such Stock Certificate or Book-Entry Share; and (B) the Stock Certificate or Book-Entry Share so surrendered shall be canceled. In the event of a transfer of ownership of any shares of Company Common Stock which are not registered in the transfer records of the Company, payment of the Merger Price may be made to a Person other than the holder in whose name the Stock Certificate so surrendered is registered, if any such Stock Certificate shall be properly endorsed or otherwise be in proper form for transfer, and such holder shall pay any transfer or other similar Taxes or establish to the reasonable satisfaction of Parent that such Tax has been paid or is not applicable. Payment of the Merger Price with respect to Book-Entry Shares shall only be made to a Person in whose name such Book-Entry Shares are registered. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 2.6(b), each Stock Certificate or Book-Entry Share shall be deemed, from and after the Effective Time, to represent solely the right to receive the Merger Price payable to such holder pursuant to Section 2.5(a)(iv) for each share of Company Common Stock formerly evidenced by such Stock Certificate or Book-Entry Share. If any Stock Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, Parent may, in its discretion and as a condition to the payment of Merger Price pursuant to Section 2.5(a)(iv), require the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed Stock Certificate to provide an appropriate affidavit and to deliver a bond (in such sum as Parent may reasonably direct) as indemnity against any claim that may be made against the Exchange Agent, Parent or the Surviving Corporation with respect to such Stock Certificate. No interest shall be paid or shall accrue on any cash payable to holders of Stock Certificates pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2.

(c) Any portion of the Payment Fund that remains undistributed to holders of Stock Certificates or Book-Entry Shares as of the date 180 days after the date on which the Merger becomes effective shall be delivered to Parent upon demand, and any holders of Stock Certificates or Book-Entry Shares who have not theretofore surrendered their Stock Certificates or Book-Entry Shares in accordance with this Section 2.6 shall thereafter look only to Parent for satisfaction of their claims for payment pursuant to Section 2.5(a)(iv). None of Parent, Acquisition Sub, the Company, the Surviving Corporation and the Exchange Agent shall be liable to any holder or former holder of shares of Company Common Stock or to any other Person with respect to any cash amounts delivered to any public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property law, escheat law or similar Legal Requirement.

(d) At the Effective Time, holders of Stock Certificates or Book-Entry Shares that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall cease to have any rights as stockholders of the Company, and the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed with respect to all shares of Company Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. No further transfer of any such shares of Company Common Stock shall be made on such stock transfer books after the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, a valid Stock Certificate is presented to the Surviving Corporation or Parent, such Company Stock Certificate shall be canceled and shall be exchanged as provided in this Section 2.6.

(e) The Exchange Agent, Parent, Acquisition Sub and the Surviving Corporation shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any consideration payable or otherwise deliverable to any holder or former holder of Company Common Stock pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as the Exchange Agent, Parent, Acquisition Sub or the Surviving Corporation determines in good faith is required to be deducted or withheld therefrom under the Code or any provision of state, local or foreign Tax law or under any other Legal Requirement. To the extent any such amounts are so deducted or withheld and remitted to the appropriate Governmental Body, 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.

(f) If any Stock Certificate has not been surrendered by the earlier of: (i) the fifth anniversary of the date on which the Merger becomes effective; or (ii) the date immediately prior to the date on which the consideration that such Stock Certificate represents the right to receive would otherwise escheat to or become the property of any Governmental Body, then such consideration shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, become the property of the Surviving Corporation, free and clear of any claim or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, shares of Company Common Stock held by a holder who has made a proper demand for appraisal of such shares of Company Common Stock in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL and who has otherwise complied with all applicable provisions of Section 262 of the DGCL (any such shares being referred to as “Dissenting Shares” until such time as such holder fails to perfect or otherwise loses such holder’s appraisal rights under Section 262 of the DGCL with respect to such shares) shall not be converted into or represent the right to receive the Merger Price in accordance with Section 2.5(a)(iv), but shall be entitled only to such rights as are granted by the DGCL to a holder of Dissenting Shares.

(b) If any Dissenting Shares shall lose their status as such (through failure to perfect or otherwise), then such shares shall be deemed automatically to have been converted into, as of the Effective Time, and to represent only, the right to receive the Merger Price in accordance with Section 2.5(a)(iv), without interest thereon, upon surrender of a Stock Certificate or Book-Entry Share representing such shares in accordance with Section 2.6.

(c) During the Pre-Closing Period, the Company shall give Parent: (i) prompt notice of any demand for appraisal received by the Company prior to the Effective Time pursuant to the DGCL, any withdrawal of any such demand and any other demand, notice or instrument delivered to the Company prior to the Effective Time pursuant to the DGCL; and (ii) the opportunity to participate in and direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to any such demand, notice or instrument. The Company shall not make any payment or settlement offer prior to the Effective Time with respect to any such demand, notice or instrument unless Parent shall have given its prior written consent to such payment or settlement offer.

(a) At the Effective Time, each unvested Company Option that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, has an exercise price per share less than the Offer Price and is held by an individual who, after the Effective Time, will be an “employee” of Parent or an Affiliate within the meaning of General Instruction A(1)(a)(1) of Form S-8 shall be substituted with a Substitute Option (as defined below) issued under Parent’s stock plan (i) in a manner that is in compliance with Section 424 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder in the case of a Company Option that is intended to be an “incentive stock option” within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code, and in a manner that is in compliance with Section 409A of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, and (ii) that shall entitle its holder to acquire, on substantially the same terms and conditions as were applicable to the Company Option for which the Substitute Option was substituted, (A) a number of shares of Parent Common Stock that is equal to the product (rounded down to the nearest whole share of Parent Common Stock) of (1) the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time, multiplied by (2) the Equity Award Exchange Ratio, (B) with a per share exercise price applicable to such Substitute Option equal to the quotient (rounded up to the next whole cent) arrived at by dividing (1) the per share exercise price of each Company Option for which a Substitute Option was substituted by (2) the Equity Award Exchange Ratio (each, a “Substitute Option”).

(b) Prior to the Effective Time, the board of directors of the Company and the Company shall take all actions necessary to provide that each Company Option that is not being substituted with a Substitute Option and that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall become fully vested and exercisable no later than five (5) days prior to the Effective Time and, if not exercised prior to the Effective Time, shall be cancelled immediately following the Effective Time and thereupon converted into the right to receive a cash amount equal to the Company Option Consideration for each share of Company Common Stock then subject to the Company Option, or, if the Company Option Consideration with respect to any such Company Option shall be a negative number, no such cash payment shall be due and owing with respect to such Company Option. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, any Company Option Consideration due and owing shall be paid, without interest, as soon after the Closing Date as shall be practicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any Company Option Consideration otherwise payable to any holder or former holder of Company Options pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as Parent or the Surviving Corporation determines are required to be deducted or withheld therefrom under the Code or any provision of state, local or foreign Tax law or under any other Legal Requirement. From and after the Effective Time, any such cancelled Company Option shall no longer be exercisable by the former holder thereof, but shall only entitle such holder to the payment of the Company Option Consideration, if any. For the avoidance of doubt, each Company Option that is unvested and is not a Substitute Option shall be cancelled as of immediately prior to the Effective Time if not exercised prior to such time without payment other than the Company Option Consideration in settlement therefor, and the Company shall take all necessary action to provide for such cancellation and treatment.

(c) At the Effective Time, each Company Restricted Stock Unit that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and is held by an individual who, after the Effective Time, is a Continuing Employee shall be substituted with a restricted stock unit issued under Parent’s stock plan that shall entitle its holder to acquire, on substantially the same terms and conditions as were applicable to the Company Restricted Stock Unit for which the Substitute RSU (as defined below) was substituted, a number of shares of Parent Common Stock that is equal to the product (rounded down to the nearest whole share of Parent Common Stock) of (i) the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Company Restricted Stock Unit immediately prior to the Effective Time, multiplied by (ii) the Equity Award Exchange Ratio (each, a “Substitute RSU”).

(d) Prior to the Acceptance Time, the Company shall take all action that may be necessary to: (i) cause the offering period under the ESPP that is outstanding as of the date of this Agreement to be terminated as of the fifth business day prior to the Acceptance Time or the date such offering period terminates by its terms, if earlier (such date, the “Final Purchase Date”); (ii) make any pro-rata adjustments that may be necessary to reflect the shortened offering period, but otherwise treat such shortened offering period as a fully effective and completed offering period for all purposes under the ESPP; (iii) cause the exercise (as of the Final Purchase Date) of each outstanding purchase right under the ESPP; (iv) provide that no further offering period or purchase period shall commence under the ESPP after the date hereof subject to the occurrence of the Acceptance Time; and (v) ensure that no individual shall be permitted to make a new election to purchase shares in any current offering period or increase his or her election to purchase shares in any current offering period; provided, however, that the actions described in clauses “(i)” through “(iv)” of this sentence shall be conditioned upon the consummation of Offer. On such new exercise date, the Company shall apply the funds credited as of such date under the ESPP within each participant’s payroll withholding account to the purchase of whole shares of Company Common Stock in accordance with the terms of the ESPP. Immediately prior to and effective as of the Acceptance Time (and subject to the consummation of the Offer), the Company shall terminate the ESPP.

(e) Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall make any amendments to the terms of the Company Plans (other than the ESPP which is governed by Section 2.8(d)), and take any other actions, as are necessary to give effect to the transactions contemplated by this Section 2.8. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall take all actions that may be necessary (under the Company Plans and otherwise) to effectuate the provisions of this Section 2.8.

2.9 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 Acquisition Sub and the Company, the officers and directors of the Surviving Corporation and Parent shall be fully authorized (in the name of Acquisition Sub, in the name of the Company and otherwise) to take such action.

If following the execution by the parties hereto of an amendment to this Agreement providing for revisions to the terms and provisions of the Contemplated Transactions that obviate the need for an Adverse Recommendation Change and the taking of actions pursuant to Section 8.1(e), the Company receives another Acquisition Proposal or Acquisition Inquiry, then the provisions of this Section 5.3(g) shall be again be applicable.

determines in good faith, after consulting with the Company’s independent financial advisor and the Company’s outside legal counsel, that, in light of such Intervening Event, failure to make an Adverse Recommendation Change would be reasonably likely to result in a breach of the fiduciary duties of the Company’s board of directors under applicable Delaware Legal Requirements (iii) no Adverse Recommendation Change has been made for four business days after receipt by Parent of a written notice from the Company setting forth a description of such Intervening Event in reasonable detail and confirming that the Company’s board of directors has determined that the failure to make such an Adverse Recommendation Change in light of such Intervening Event would be reasonably likely to result in a breach of the fiduciary duties of the Company’s board of directors under applicable Delaware Legal Requirements; (iv) during such four business day notice period, the Company keeps Parent reasonably informed of all material developments with respect to such Intervening Event and engages (to the extent requested by Parent) in good faith negotiations with Parent to amend this Agreement in such a manner that failure to make an Adverse Recommendation Change as a result of such Intervening Event would no longer be reasonably likely to result in a breach of the fiduciary duties of the Company’s board of directors under applicable Delaware Legal Requirements; and (v) at the time of any Adverse Recommendation Change, the board of directors of the Company determines in good faith, after consulting with the Company’s independent financial advisor and the Company’s outside legal counsel, that the failure to make an Adverse Recommendation Change would still be reasonably likely to result in a breach of the fiduciary duties of the Company’s board of directors under applicable Delaware Legal Requirements in light of such Intervening Event (taking into account any changes to the terms and provisions of this Agreement proposed by Parent as a result of the negotiations required by clause “(iv)” or otherwise).

(i) None of the Acquired Corporations shall grant a waiver or release under any other standstill agreement in effect as of the date hereof or amend, modify or grant permission under any provision thereof, provided, however, that the Company shall be permitted to grant a waiver or release under any standstill agreement in effect on the date hereof solely to the extent necessary to permit the Person subject to the standstill agreement to make and engage in discussions with respect to, and negotiate, consistent with the terms and provisions of this Section 5.3, an Acquisition Proposal from such Person that was made in circumstances not involving a breach of this Section 5.3, if the board of directors of the Company determines in good faith, after consulting with the Company’s outside legal counsel, that failure to take such action would be reasonably likely to result in a breach of the fiduciary duties of the Company’s board of directors under applicable Delaware Legal Requirements. The Company shall provide written notice to Parent of the waiver or release of any standstill by the Company promptly (and in any event within 24 hours) following such waiver or release, which notice shall include the identity of the Person or group receiving the waiver or release).

Unless prohibited by Legal Requirements or any Governmental Body, whenever any event occurs that is required to be set forth in an amendment or supplement to any filing made pursuant to Section 6.2(a), Parent or the Company, as the case may be, shall (promptly upon learning of the occurrence of such event) inform the other of the occurrence of such event and cooperate in filing with the applicable Governmental Body such amendment or supplement.

(d) Parent and the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions necessary to consummate the Offer and the Merger and make effective the other Contemplated Transactions. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each party to this Agreement: (i) shall make all filings (if any) and give all notices (if any) required to be made and given by such party in connection with the Offer, the Merger and the other Contemplated Transactions; (ii) shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain each Consent (if any) required to be obtained (pursuant to any applicable Legal Requirement or Contract, or otherwise) by such party in connection with the Offer, the Merger or any of the other Contemplated Transactions; and (iii) shall defend through litigation on the merits any claim asserted in court by the United States Department of Justice or United States Federal Trade Commission under antitrust or competition-related Legal Requirement in order to avoid entry of any decree, order or judgment (whether temporary, preliminary or permanent) that could restrain, delay, or prevent the Closing by the Outside Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, nothing in this Agreement shall require Parent or any of its Subsidiaries to, nor shall any Acquired Corporation without the prior written consent of Parent agree or offer to: (A) effect any divestiture of, or hold separate (including by establishing a trust or otherwise), or agree to restrict its ownership or operation of, any business or assets of the Acquired Corporations, Parent or any Subsidiary of Parent, including Acquisition Sub, or to enter into any settlement or consent decree, or agree to any undertaking, with respect to any business or assets of the Acquired Corporations, Parent or any Subsidiary of Parent, including Acquisition Sub, (B) enter into, amend or agree to enter into or amend, any Contract of the Acquired Corporations, Parent or any Subsidiary of Parent, including Acquisition Sub, that imposes any material limitations on the ability of Parent or any of its Affiliates to effectively exercise full rights of the shares of Company Common Stock or (C) otherwise waive, abandon or alter any material rights or material obligations of the Acquired Corporations, Parent or any Subsidiary of Parent, including Acquisition Sub. Furthermore, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in connection with obtaining any Consent from any third party, without the prior written consent of Parent, none of the Acquired Corporations or any of their respective Representatives, shall pay or commit to pay to such Person whose approval or consent is being solicited any cash or other consideration, make any accommodation or commitment or incur any liability or other obligation to such Person.

(a) Except as set forth herein, the Company shall not take (or cause or permit to be taken) any action to terminate any Company Employee Plan, including any such plan that contains a cash or deferred arrangement intended to qualify under Section 401(k) of the Code (a “401(k) Plan”); provided, however, that if directed in writing by Parent not less than five business days prior to the Effective Time and, with respect to each 401(k) Plan, within five business days prior to the date on which the Acceptance Time occurs, the Company shall take (or cause to be taken) all actions reasonably determined by Parent to be necessary or appropriate to terminate any such Company Employee Plan, with such termination effective as of the day immediately prior to the Closing Date (and, in the case of the 401(k) Plan, with such termination effective as of the day immediately preceding the date that Parent and the Company become part of the same controlled group pursuant to Section 414(b), (c), (m) or (o) of the Code). In the event that Parent provides such written notice to the Company, the Company shall provide Parent with evidence that all 401(k) Plan(s) have been terminated pursuant to resolutions of the board of directors of the Company or applicable Acquired Corporation, as the case may be. The form and substance of such resolutions shall be subject to the prior review and approval of Parent, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. The Company also shall take such other actions in furtherance of terminating such 401(k) Plan(s) as Parent may reasonably request.

(b) The Company shall take (or cause to be taken) all actions reasonably determined by Parent to be necessary or appropriate to terminate the annual management bonus plan of the Company as set forth as Exhibit 10.2 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on January 25, 2013, with such termination effective as of the Acceptance Time, and to pay as promptly as practicable possible following December 31, 2013 all amounts accrued or otherwise earned under such annual management bonus plan through the Acceptance Time, provided that a participant is employed by the

Company (including for such purpose Parent or any controlled affiliate thereof) through December 31, 2013; provided, however, that in the event any participant is terminated by the Company (including for such purpose Parent or any controlled affiliate thereof) for any reason other than cause prior to December 31, 2013, such participant shall be paid such amount on the date of termination.

(c) Parent agrees that, subject to any necessary transition period and subject to any applicable plan provisions, contractual requirements or Legal Requirements: (i) all employees of the Acquired Corporations who are citizens of the United States of America or are otherwise legally employed in the United States of America and who continue their employment with Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any Subsidiary of the Surviving Corporation after the Effective Time (“Continuing Employees”) shall be eligible to participate in Parent’s employee benefit plans, including its bonus, severance, health, welfare, vacation and retirement plans (the “Parent Employee Plans”), to substantially the same extent as similarly situated employees of Parent; (ii) for purposes of determining a Continuing Employee’s eligibility to participate in Parent Employee Plans (except Parent’s service years program), such Continuing Employee shall receive credit under such plans for his or her years of continuous service with the Acquired Corporations prior to the Effective Time to the same extent as such service was recognized under any analogous Company Employee Plan in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time; (iii) for purposes of each Parent Employee Plan providing medical, dental, pharmaceutical, life insurance and/or vision benefits to any Continuing Employee, Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, use commercially reasonable efforts to cause all pre-existing condition exclusions and actively-at-work requirements of such Parent Employee Plan to be waived for such employee and his or her covered dependents; and (iv) to the extent the Closing occurs on or prior to December 31, 2013, in lieu of its obligations set forth in clause “(iii)” of this sentence, Parent shall be entitled to cause any Company Employee Plan providing medical, dental, pharmaceutical, life insurance and/or vision benefits to remain in effect through December 31, 2013.

(d) To the extent any employee notification or employee consultation requirements are imposed by applicable Legal Requirements with respect to the Contemplated Transactions, the Company and Parent shall cooperate to ensure that such notification or consultation requirements are complied with prior to the Acceptance Time or Effective Time, as applicable. Prior to the Effective Time, no Acquired Corporation shall communicate with Continuing Employees regarding post-Closing employment matters, including post-Closing employee benefits and compensation, without the prior written approval of Parent, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

(e) Nothing in this Section 6.3 or elsewhere in this Agreement shall be deemed to make any employee of the parties or their respective Subsidiaries a third party beneficiary of this Section 6.3 or provide any such employee any rights relating hereto.

(a) The Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries shall, and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries to, honor and fulfill in all respects the obligations of the Company and each Company Subsidiary in favor of those Persons who are former or current directors and officers of the Company or a Company Subsidiary as of the date of this Agreement and any Person who becomes a director or officer of the Company or a Company Subsidiary prior to the Control Time (the “Indemnified Persons”) for their acts and omissions as directors and officers occurring prior to the Control Time, as provided in the certificate of incorporation or bylaws of the Company or of a Company Subsidiary (as in effect as of the date of this Agreement or, with respect to any Person who becomes a director or officer of the Company or a Company Subsidiary, as of the Control Time, to the extent such agreement is substantially the same as the indemnification agreements in effect as of the date of this Agreement) and as provided in any indemnification agreements between the Company or a Company Subsidiary and said Indemnified Persons (as in effect as of the date of this Agreement) Made Available to Parent, which obligations shall survive the Merger, are hereby assumed by the Surviving Corporation and shall continue in full force and effect for a period of six years from the Effective Time and shall not be terminated or modified in such a manner as to adversely affect any Indemnified Person to whom this Section 6.4 applies without the consent of such affected Indemnified Person. It is expressly agreed that the Indemnified Persons to whom this Section 6.4 applies shall be third party beneficiaries of this Section 6.4, each of whom may enforce the provisions of this Section 6.4.

(b) From the Effective Time until the sixth anniversary of the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall, and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, maintain in effect, for the benefit of the Indemnified Persons with respect to their acts and omissions as directors and officers occurring at or prior to the Effective Time, the existing policy of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance maintained by the Company as of the date of this Agreement in the form disclosed by the Company to Parent prior to the date of this Agreement (the “Existing D&O Policy”), covering each Person covered by the Existing D&O Policy, on terms with respect to the coverage and amounts that are equivalent to those of the Existing D&O Policy; provided, however, that: (i) the Surviving Corporation may substitute for the Existing D&O Policy a policy or policies of comparable coverage; and (ii) the Surviving Corporation shall not be required to pay annual premiums for the Existing D&O Policy or substitute policy in excess of the dollar amount set forth in Part 6.4(b) of the Disclosure Schedule (the “Maximum Premium”).

In the event any future annual premiums for the Existing D&O Policy or substitute policy exceed the Maximum Premium, the Surviving Corporation shall be obligated to, and Parent shall be obligated to cause the Surviving Corporation to, obtain a policy with the greatest coverage available for a cost not exceeding the Maximum Premium. Prior to the Effective Time, notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, the Company may purchase a pre-paid, non-cancellable “tail” policy reasonably satisfactory to Parent on the Existing D&O Policy for a claims reporting or discovery period of six years from the Effective Time and otherwise on terms and conditions that are no less favorable than the terms and conditions of the Existing D&O Policy; provided, however, that the Company shall not, without the prior written consent of Parent, expend an amount for such tail policy in excess of the Maximum Premium. If such “tail” policy is purchased, the Surviving Corporation shall, and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, maintain such “tail” policy in full force and effect and continue to honor their respective obligations thereunder, in lieu of all other obligations of the Surviving Corporation under the first sentence of this Section 6.4(b) for so long as such “tail” policy shall be maintained in full force and effect.

(c) If Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of its successors or assigns: (i) consolidates or merges with any other Person that shall not be the continuing or the surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger; or (ii) transfers or conveys all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, to the extent necessary, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Parent or the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, shall assume the obligations set forth in this Section 6.4.

6.5 Public Announcement. Parent and the Company agree that the press release announcing the execution and delivery of this Agreement shall be a joint release of Parent and the Company. Thereafter, Parent and the Company shall consult with each other and provide each other the reasonable opportunity to review and comment upon any press release or other public statement with respect to the Offer, the Merger or any of the other Contemplated Transactions before issuing any such press release or public statement; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not apply to: (a) any press release or public statement made with respect to the Offer, the Merger or any of the other Contemplated Transactions that is not inconsistent with, or more expansive in any material respect than, any prior press release or public statement validly made in accordance with this Section 6.5; (b) any press release or other public statement as may be required by any applicable Legal Requirement; or (c) any Adverse Recommendation Change.

6.6 Stockholder Litigation. The Company shall give Parent the opportunity to participate in (but not control) the defense and settlement of any stockholder litigation against the Company and/or its officers or directors relating to any of the Contemplated Transactions in accordance with the terms of a mutually agreed upon joint defense agreement. The Company may not enter into any settlement agreement in respect of any stockholder litigation against the Company and/or its directors or officers relating to any of the Contemplated Transactions without Parent’s prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

6.7 Section 16 Matters. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall take such reasonable steps as are required to cause the disposition of Company Common Stock and Company Options in connection with the Merger by each officer or director of the Company who is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act with respect to the Company to be exempt from Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act pursuant to Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act.

6.8 Resignation of Directors. Upon the written request of Parent (which shall be given at least five Business Days before the Closing) and subject to the provisions of Section 1.3, the Company shall obtain and deliver to Parent at the Closing (effective as of the Effective Time) the resignation of each director of the Acquired Corporations.

6.9 Rule 14d–10 Matters. Prior to the Acceptance Time, the Company (acting through the board of directors of the Company or its compensation committee) shall take all such steps as may be required to cause to be exempt under Rule 14d–10(d) promulgated under the Exchange Act any employment compensation, severance or other employee benefit arrangement entered into on or after the date hereof by the Company, Parent or any of their respective Affiliates with current or future directors, officers or employees of the Company and its Affiliates and to ensure that any such arrangements fall within the safe harbor provisions of such rule.

6.10 Delisting. From the Acceptance Time to the Closing Date, the Company shall cooperate with Parent and use commercially reasonable efforts to enable the de-listing by the Surviving Corporation of the Company Common Stock from the Nasdaq Stock Market and the deregistration of the Company Common Stock under the Exchange Act as promptly as practicable after the Effective Time.

6.11 Additional Documents. As soon as commercially practicable following the date hereof, the Company shall use best efforts to deliver to Parent the valid assignment of invention agreements for each Company Associate identified in Part 6.11 of the Disclosure Schedule, which agreements cover all Company Intellectual Property conceived, authored, invented, developed or reduced to practice by such Company Associate during the term of any and all periods of employment with the Company.

The respective obligations of the parties to effect the Merger are subject to the satisfaction, at or prior to the Closing, of each of the following conditions:

7.1 Stockholder Approval. If required by applicable Legal Requirements in order to consummate the Merger, this Agreement shall have been duly approved by the Required Company Stockholder Vote.

7.2 No Restraints. No temporary restraining order, preliminary or permanent injunction or other order preventing the consummation of the Merger shall have been issued by any court or other Governmental Body of competent jurisdiction and remain in effect, and there shall not be any Legal Requirement enacted or deemed applicable to the Merger that makes consummation of the Merger illegal; provided, however, that prior to invoking this Section 7.2, a party shall have taken all actions expressly required of such party under this Agreement to have any such injunction, order or Legal Requirement or other prohibition lifted.

7.3 Consummation of Offer. Acquisition Sub shall have accepted for payment and paid for shares of Company Common Stock validly tendered (and not withdrawn) pursuant to the Offer (including any “subsequent offering period” provided by Acquisition Sub pursuant to this Agreement).

(b) by either Parent or the Company at any time prior to the Effective Time (notwithstanding if the Required Company Stockholder Vote, if required by applicable Legal Requirements, has been obtained) if a United States court or other United States Governmental Body of competent jurisdiction shall have issued a final and non-appealable order, decree or ruling, or shall have taken any other action, having the effect of: (i) permanently restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting: (A) the acquisition or acceptance for payment of, or payment for, shares of Company Common Stock pursuant to the Offer; or (B) the Merger; or (ii) making the acquisition of or payment for shares of Company Common Stock pursuant to the Offer, or the consummation of the Merger, illegal; provided, however, that a party shall not be permitted to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1(b) if the issuance of such order, decree or ruling or the taking of such action is attributable to the failure of such party to perform any covenant in this Agreement required to be performed by such party at or prior to the Effective Time;

(c) by either Parent or the Company if the Acceptance Time shall not have occurred on or prior to March 14, 2014 (the “Outside Date”); provided, however, that a party shall not be permitted to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1(c) if the failure of the Acceptance Time to occur on or prior to the Outside Date is attributable to the failure of such party to fulfill any obligations under this Agreement;
