Item 1.01Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Merger Agreement

On August 25, 2017, Littelfuse, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Littelfuse”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among IXYS Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“IXYS”), Littelfuse and Iron Merger Co., Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Littelfuse (“Merger Sub”), pursuant to which Littelfuse will acquire all of the outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of IXYS (each, an “IXYS Common Share”) in exchange for a combination of cash and shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Littelfuse (each, a “Littelfuse Common Share”).

Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will merge with and into IXYS (the “Initial Merger”), with IXYS continuing as the surviving corporation in the Initial Merger and a wholly owned subsidiary of Littelfuse.  Further to the terms of the Merger Agreement, IXYS, as the surviving corporation of the Initial Merger, will merge with and into Littelfuse (the “Follow-On Merger”, and collectively with the Initial Merger, the “Mergers”), with Littelfuse continuing as the surviving corporation in the Follow-On Merger.  The respective Boards of Directors of Littelfuse and IXYS have unanimously approved the Merger Agreement, the Mergers and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement.

Consideration to IXYS Stockholders.  Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Initial Merger (the “Effective Time”), each IXYS Common Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than IXYS Common Shares held in treasury or owned by Littelfuse or Merger Sub and any IXYS Common Shares held by stockholders who properly comply in all respects with the provisions of Section 262 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (“DGCL”) as to appraisal rights) will be cancelled and extinguished and automatically converted into the right to receive, at the election of the holder thereof, and subject to proration as described below, (i) $23.00 per share in cash (subject to applicable withholding tax), without interest (the “Cash Consideration”), or (ii) 0.1265 of a Littelfuse Common Share (the “Stock Consideration” and together with the Cash Consideration, the “Merger Consideration”).

Proration.  The Merger Consideration is subject to proration so that 50% of IXYS Common Shares outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be converted into the Cash Consideration and the remaining IXYS Common shares will be converted into the Stock Consideration.  No fractional Littelfuse Common Shares will be issued in the Initial Merger, and holders of IXYS Common Shares will, instead, receive cash in lieu of fractional Littelfuse Common Shares, if any. The implied value of the aggregate Merger Consideration is approximately $750 million based on the closing price of Littelfuse Common Shares on August 25, 2017. Holders of IXYS Common Shares that do not make an election will be treated as having elected to receive the Cash Consideration or the Stock Consideration in accordance with the proration methodology in the Merger Agreement.

Effect on IXYS Stock Options.   Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at the Effective Time, each outstanding and unexercised option to purchase IXYS Common Shares granted by IXYS under one of its equity plans (each, an “IXYS Stock Option”) will be assumed by Littelfuse and

2

converted into an option (a “Littelfuse Stock Option”) to acquire (i) that number of whole Littelfuse Common Shares (rounded down to the nearest whole share) equal to the product of (x) the number of IXYS Common Shares subject to such IXYS Stock Option immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by (y) the Stock Consideration, (ii) at an exercise price per Littelfuse Common Share (rounded up to the nearest whole cent) equal to the quotient of (x) the exercise price per IXYS Common Share of such IXYS Stock Option divided by (y) the Stock Consideration.  Each IXYS Stock Option assumed and converted into a Littelfuse Stock Option will continue to have, and will be subject to, the same vesting schedule (including any accelerated vesting terms) and all other terms and conditions as applied to such IXYS Stock Option immediately prior to the Effective Time.

Effect on ESPP Participants.   Pursuant to the Merger Agreement: (i) if the offering period under IXYS’ Amended and Restated 1999 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”) in effect as of the date of the Merger Agreement ends prior to the Effective Time, then following the purchase of IXYS Common Shares pursuant to such offering period, the ESPP will be suspended and no new offering period will be commenced under the ESPP prior to the Effective Time; or (ii) if the offering period in effect as of the date of the Merger Agreement has not ended prior to the Effective Time, then any accumulated payroll deductions under the ESPP as of the Effective Time will be used to purchase IXYS Common Shares immediately prior to the Effective Time and such offering period will terminate immediately prior to the Effective Time.  Subject to the consummation of the Mergers, the ESPP will terminate, effective immediately prior to the Effective Time. No employee who is not enrolled in the ESPP on August 25, 2017 will be able to commence participation in the ESPP and no participant in the ESPP will be able to increase the percentage amount of his or her payroll deduction from that in effect on August 25, 2017.

Conditions to the Mergers.  Consummation of the Mergers is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, including, among others, (i) the adoption of the Merger Agreement by holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding IXYS Common Shares (the “Company Stockholder Approval”), (ii) the expiration or termination of the waiting period under the United States Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, and the receipt of regulatory clearances under the anti-trust laws of Germany, (iii) the effectiveness of Littelfuse’s registration statement on Form S-4 registering the Littelfuse Common Shares to be issued in connection with the Initial Merger, (iv) the absence of any law or order prohibiting or restraining the Mergers or making the Mergers illegal, (v) the approval of the listing of the Littelfuse Common Shares to be issued in the Initial Merger on the Nasdaq Global Select Market, (vi) subject to certain exceptions, the accuracy of the representations and warranties made by, and compliance with the covenants of, IXYS and Littelfuse, respectively, in the Merger Agreement and (vii) the receipt of certain opinions of counsel in respect of the tax treatment of the Mergers.

Termination Rights.  The Merger Agreement contains certain termination rights that may be exercised by either Littelfuse or IXYS, including in the event that (i) both parties agree by mutual written consent to terminate the Merger Agreement, (ii) the Initial Merger is not consummated by (a) February 28, 2018, or in the event all conditions for the consummation of the Mergers other than with respect to antitrust approvals have been satisfied or waived by such date, (b) May 28, 2018 (the “End Date”), (iii) the Company Stockholder Approval is not obtained or (iv) any law or order permanently restraining or enjoining the Mergers or making the

3

consummation of the Mergers illegal has become final and nonappealable and remains in effect. In addition, in certain circumstances, IXYS may terminate the Merger Agreement (i) at any time prior to the receipt of the Company Stockholder Approval in order to enter into an unsolicited alternative acquisition proposal that constitutes a Company Superior Proposal (as defined in the Merger Agreement), subject to IXYS having first complied with certain match right obligations and IXYS’ payment of the termination fee described below, or (ii) if Littelfuse breaches any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in the Merger Agreement such that the closing condition relating thereto would not be satisfied (subject to cure periods in certain circumstances). Littelfuse may additionally terminate the Merger Agreement in the event that (i) IXYS’ board of directors effectuates a Company Adverse Recommendation Change (as defined in the Merger Agreement), (ii) IXYS (or its representatives) willfully and materially breaches its non-solicitation obligations relating to alternative acquisition proposals or (iii) IXYS breaches any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in the Merger Agreement such that the closing condition relating thereto would not be satisfied (subject to cure periods in certain circumstances).

If the Merger Agreement is terminated (i) by Littelfuse as a result of (x) a Company Adverse Recommendation Change prior to the Company Stockholder Approval having been obtained or (y) a willful and material breach by IXYS (or its representatives) of its non-solicitation obligations relating to alternative acquisition proposals, or (ii) by IXYS as a result of IXYS entering into a definitive agreement with respect to a Company Superior Proposal, then IXYS will be obligated to pay Littelfuse a termination fee equal to $28.5 million in cash (the “Termination Fee”).

Furthermore, if (i) the Merger Agreement is terminated (x) by Littelfuse or IXYS due to the Initial Merger not having been consummated by the End Date (and at the End Date all of the conditions to IXYS’ obligations to close other than receipt of the Company Stockholder Approval have been satisfied) or due to the Company Stockholder Approval not having been obtained, or (y) by Littelfuse if IXYS has willfully and materially breached any of its covenants or agreements contained in the Merger Agreement, (ii) an alternative acquisition proposal for more than 50% of IXYS’ total voting power or total assets has been (x) publicly announced after the date of the Merger Agreement and prior to (1) the End Date (in the case of a termination due to the Initial Merger not having been consummated by the End Date), (2) IXYS’ stockholder meeting (in the case of a termination due to the Company Stockholder Approval not having been obtained) or (3) the date of the breach giving rise to such termination (in the case of a termination due to a willful and material breach by IXYS of its covenants or agreements contained in the Merger Agreement) and (y) not definitively withdrawn at least three Business Days prior to (1) the End Date (in the case of a termination due to the Initial Merger not having been consummated by the End Date), (2) IXYS’ stockholder meeting (in the case of a termination due to the Company Stockholder Approval not having been obtained) or (3) the date of the breach giving rise to such termination (in the case of a termination due to a willful and material breach by IXYS of its covenants or agreements contained in the Merger Agreement), and (iii) within 12 months following the date of such termination, IXYS or any of its subsidiaries enters into a definitive agreement with respect to an alternative acquisition proposal or an alternative acquisition proposal is consummated, then IXYS will be obligated to pay Littelfuse the Termination Fee.

4

Representations, Warranties and Covenants.  Littelfuse and IXYS have each made customary representations, warranties and covenants in the Merger Agreement, including, without limitation, covenants not to solicit alternative acquisition proposals or, subject to certain exceptions, not to enter into discussions concerning, or provide confidential information in connection with, an alternative acquisition proposal.

Board Representation.  Littelfuse will take all appropriate action so that as of the Effective Time, its board of directors will be increased by one member, who will be Dr. Nathan Zommer (the current Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Technology Officer of IXYS).

ARTICLE II.

CONVERSION OF SHARES; EXCHANGE OF CERTIFICATES

Section 2.1Effect on Capital Stock.

(a)At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Initial Merger and without any action on the part of any of the Parties or the holder of any shares of Company Common Stock or any shares of Merger Sub common stock:

(i)Conversion of Company Common Stock.  At the Effective Time, subject to Section 2.1(d) and Section 2.2(a), and less any applicable withholding Tax, each share of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than any Cancelled Shares and any Dissenting Shares) shall be converted, in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Agreement, into the right to receive, without interest:

(A)for each share of Company Common Stock with respect to which an election to receive cash (a “Cash Election”) has been effectively made and not revoked or deemed revoked pursuant to Section 2.2(b) (collectively, the “Cash Election Shares”), an amount in cash equal to the Per Share Cash Consideration (the “Cash Consideration”);

4

(B)for each share of Company Common Stock with respect to which an election to receive Parent Common Stock (a “Stock Election”) has been effectively made and not revoked or deemed revoked pursuant to Section 2.2(b) (collectively, the “Stock Election Shares”), a number of validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares of Parent Common Stock equal to the Exchange Ratio (the “Stock Consideration”); and

(C)for each share of Company Common Stock other than shares as to which a Cash Election or Stock Election has been effectively made and not revoked or deemed revoked pursuant to Section 2.2(b) (collectively, the “Non-Election Shares”), the right to receive such Stock Consideration or Cash Consideration as is determined in accordance with Section 2.2(a).

For purposes of this Agreement, the following terms shall have the following meanings:

“Exchange Ratio” means 0.1265.

“Merger Consideration” means the Cash Consideration and/or Stock Consideration described in Section 2.1(a)(i), as applicable.

“Per Share Cash Consideration” means $23.00.

From and after the Effective Time, all such shares of Company Common Stock (including all uncertificated shares of Company Common Stock represented by book-entry form (“Book-Entry Shares”) and each certificate that, immediately prior to the Effective Time, represented any such shares of Company Common Stock (each, a “Certificate”)) shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled and shall cease to exist, and each applicable holder of such shares of Company Common Stock shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the Merger Consideration (including the right to receive, pursuant to Section 2.1(d), the Fractional Share Cash Amount and dividends pursuant to Section 2.2(g), if any) upon the surrender of such shares of Company Common Stock in accordance with Section 2.2, together with the amounts, if any, payable pursuant to Section 2.2(g).

(ii)Cancellation of Company Common Stock.  Each share of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time that is owned or held in treasury by the Company and each share of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time that is owned by Parent or Merger Sub shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled and shall cease to exist (the “Cancelled Shares”), and no consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor.

(iii)Treatment of Merger Sub Common Stock.  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 share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the surviving corporation in the Initial Merger.

5

(b)Shares of Dissenting Stockholders.  Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, shares of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and held by a holder of record who did not vote in favor of the adoption of this Agreement (or consent thereto in writing) and is entitled to demand and properly demands appraisal of such shares of Company Common Stock pursuant to, and who complies in all respects with, Section 262 of the DGCL (“DGCL 262” and any such shares meeting the requirement of this sentence, “Dissenting Shares”) shall not be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration, but instead at the Effective Time shall be converted into the right to receive payment of such amounts as are payable in accordance with DGCL 262 (it being understood and acknowledged that at the Effective Time, such Dissenting Shares shall no longer be outstanding, shall automatically be cancelled and shall cease to exist, and such holder shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto other than the right to receive the fair market value of such Dissenting Shares to the extent afforded by DGCL 262); provided, however, that if any such holder (including any holder of Proposed Dissenting Shares) shall fail to perfect or otherwise shall waive, withdraw or lose the right to payment of the fair market value of such Dissenting Shares under DGCL 262, then the right of such holder to be paid the fair market value of such holder’s Dissenting Shares shall cease and such Dissenting Shares shall be deemed to have been converted as of the Effective Time into, and to have become exchangeable solely for the right to receive, without interest or duplication, the Merger Consideration.  “Proposed Dissenting Shares” means shares of Company Common Stock whose holders provide demands for fair market value to the Company prior to the Company Stockholder Meeting and do not vote in favor of the adoption of this Agreement, in each case in accordance with DGCL 262.  The Company shall give prompt written notice to Parent of any demands received by the Company for fair market value of any Company Shares, of any withdrawals of such demands and of any other instruments served pursuant to the DGCL and received by the Company relating to DGCL 262 and any alleged dissenter’s rights, and Parent shall have the opportunity, at Parent’s expense, to participate in and direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demands.  Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall not, without the prior written consent of Parent, make any payment with respect to, or settle or compromise or offer to settle or compromise, any such demand, or agree to do any of the foregoing.

(c)Certain Adjustments.  If, between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time, the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock or Parent Common Stock shall have been changed into a different number of shares or a different class of shares by reason of any stock dividend, subdivision, reclassification, stock split, reverse stock split, combination or exchange of shares, or any similar event shall have occurred, then the Merger Consideration shall be equitably adjusted, without duplication, to proportionally reflect such change; provided that nothing in this Section 2.1(c) shall be construed to permit the Company to take any action with respect to its securities that is prohibited by the terms of this Agreement.

(d)No Fractional Shares.  No fractional shares of Parent Common Stock shall be issued in connection with the Mergers, no certificates or scrip representing fractional shares of Parent Common Stock shall be delivered upon the conversion of Company Common Stock pursuant to Section 2.1(a)(i), and such fractional share interests shall not entitle the owner thereof to vote or to any other rights of a holder of shares of Parent Common Stock.  In lieu of fractional shares, each holder of shares of Company Common Stock who would otherwise have been entitled to receive as a result of the Initial Merger a fraction of a share of Parent Common

6

Stock (after aggregating all shares represented by the Certificates and Book-Entry Shares delivered by such holder) shall receive, in lieu thereof and upon surrender thereof, cash (without interest) in an amount determined by multiplying (i) the Parent Closing Trading Price, rounded to the nearest one-hundredth of a cent by (ii) the fraction of a share (after taking into account all shares of Company Common Stock held by such holder at the Effective Time and rounded to the nearest one thousandth when expressed in decimal form) of Parent Common Stock to which such holder would otherwise be entitled (the “Fractional Share Cash Amount”).  No such holder shall be entitled to dividends, voting rights or any other rights in respect of any fractional share of Parent Common Stock that would otherwise have been issuable as part of the Merger Consideration.

Section 2.2Exchange of Shares.

(a)Proration.

(i)Notwithstanding any other provision contained in this Agreement, the total number of shares of Company Common Stock to be entitled to receive the Cash Consideration pursuant to Section 2.1 shall be equal to 50% of the aggregate number of shares of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than any Cancelled Shares) (the “Maximum Cash Share Number”).

(ii)Promptly (and in any event no later than five Business Days) after the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Exchange Agent to effect the allocation among holders of Company Common Stock of rights to receive the Cash Consideration and the Stock Consideration as follows:

(A)If the aggregate number of shares of Company Common Stock with respect to which Cash Elections shall have been made (which, for this purpose, shall be deemed to include the Dissenting Shares determined as of the Effective Time) (the “Cash Election Number”) exceeds the Maximum Cash Share Number, then all Stock Election Shares and all Non-Election Shares shall be converted into the right to receive the Stock Consideration, and Cash Election Shares of each holder thereof will be converted into the right to receive the Cash Consideration in respect of that number of Cash Election Shares equal to the product obtained by multiplying (x) the number of Cash Election Shares held by such holder by (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the Maximum Cash Share Number and the denominator of which is the Cash Election Number (with the Exchange Agent to determine, consistent with Section 2.2(a)(i), whether fractions of Cash Election Shares shall be rounded up or down), with the remaining number of such holder’s Cash Election Shares being converted into the right to receive the Stock Consideration; and

(B)If the Cash Election Number is less than the Maximum Cash Share Number (the amount by which the Maximum Cash Share Number exceeds the Cash Election Number being referred to herein as the “Shortfall Number”), then all Cash Election Shares shall be converted into the right to receive the Cash

7

Consideration and the Non-Election Shares and Stock Election Shares shall be treated in the following manner:

(1)If the Shortfall Number is less than or equal to the number of Non-Election Shares, then all Stock Election Shares shall be converted into the right to receive the Stock Consideration, and the Non-Election Shares of each holder thereof shall be converted into the right to receive the Cash Consideration in respect of that number of Non-Election Shares equal to the product obtained by multiplying (x) the number of Non-Election Shares held by such holder by (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the Shortfall Number and the denominator of which is the total number of Non-Election Shares (with the Exchange Agent to determine, consistent with Section 2.2(a)(i), whether fractions of Non-Election Shares shall be rounded up or down), with the remaining number of such holder’s Non-Election Shares being converted into the right to receive the Stock Consideration; or

(2)If the Shortfall Number exceeds the number of Non-Election Shares, then all Non-Election Shares shall be converted into the right to receive the Cash Consideration, and Stock Election Shares of each holder thereof shall be converted into the right to receive the Cash Consideration in respect of that number of Stock Election Shares equal to the product obtained by multiplying (x) the number of Stock Election Shares held by such holder by (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the amount by which the Shortfall Number exceeds the total number of Non-Election Shares, and the denominator of which is the total number of Stock Election Shares (with the Exchange Agent to determine, consistent with Section 2.2(a)(i), whether fractions of Stock Election Shares shall be rounded up or down), with the remaining number of such holder’s Stock Election Shares being converted into the right to receive the Stock Consideration.

(b)Election Procedures.  Each holder of record of shares of Company Common Stock to be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration in accordance with, and subject to, Section 2.1(b) and Section 2.2(a) (a “Holder”) shall have the right, subject to the limitations set forth in this Article II, to submit an election in accordance with the following procedures:

(i)Each Holder may specify in a request made in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.2(b) (herein called an “Election”) (A) the number of shares of Company Common Stock owned by such Holder with respect to which such Holder desires to make a Stock Election and (B) the number of shares of Company Common

8

Stock owned by such Holder with respect to which such Holder desires to make a Cash Election.

(ii)Parent shall prepare a form reasonably acceptable to the Company, including appropriate and customary transmittal materials in such form as prepared by Parent and reasonably acceptable to the Company (the “Form of Election”), so as to permit Holders to exercise their right to make an Election.

(iii)Parent (A) shall initially make available and mail the Form of Election not less than 20 Business Days prior to the anticipated Election Deadline to Holders of record as of the Business Day prior to such mailing date, and (B) following such mailing date, shall use all reasonable efforts to make available as promptly as possible a Form of Election to any stockholder who requests such Form of Election prior to the Election Deadline.  The time period between such mailing date and the Election Deadline is referred to herein as the “Election Period”.

(iv)Any Election shall have been made properly only if the Exchange Agent shall have received, during the Election Period, a Form of Election properly completed and executed (including duly executed transmittal materials included in the Form of Election) and accompanied by any Certificates representing all certificated shares to which such Form of Election relates or by an appropriate customary guarantee of delivery of such Certificates, as set forth in such Form of Election, from a member of any registered national securities exchange or a commercial bank or trust company in the United States.  As used herein, unless otherwise agreed in advance by the Parties, “Election Deadline” means 5:00 p.m. local time (in the city in which the principal office of the Exchange Agent is located) on the date which the Parties shall agree is as near as practicable to two Business Days preceding the Closing Date.  The Company and Parent shall cooperate to issue a press release reasonably satisfactory to each of them announcing the date of the Election Deadline not more than 15 Business Days before, and at least five Business Days prior to, the Election Deadline.

(v)Any Holder may, at any time during the Election Period, change or revoke his, her or its Election by written notice to the Exchange Agent prior to the Election Deadline accompanied by a properly completed and executed revised Form of Election.  If any Election is not properly made with respect to any shares of Company Common Stock (none of Parent, the Company or the Exchange Agent being under any duty to notify any Holder of any such defect), such Election shall be deemed to be not in effect, and the shares of Company Common Stock covered by such Election shall, for purposes hereof, be deemed to be Non-Election Shares, unless a proper Election is thereafter timely made.

(vi)Any Holder may, at any time during the Election Period, revoke his, her or its Election by written notice received by the Exchange Agent prior to the Election Deadline or by withdrawal prior to the Election Deadline of his, her or its Certificates, or of the guarantee of delivery of such Certificates, previously deposited with the Exchange Agent.  All Elections shall be automatically deemed revoked upon

9

receipt by the Exchange Agent of written notification from the Parties that this Agreement has been terminated in accordance with the terms hereof.

(vii)Subject to the terms of this Agreement and the Form of Election, Parent, in the exercise of its reasonable, good faith discretion, shall have the right to make all determinations, not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement, governing (A) the validity of the Forms of Election and compliance by any Holder with the Election procedures set forth herein, (B) the method of issuance of shares of Parent Common Stock into which shares of Company Common Stock are converted in the Mergers and (C) the method of payment of cash for shares of Company Common Stock converted into the right to receive the Cash Consideration and cash in lieu of fractional shares of Parent Common Stock.

(c)Appointment of Exchange Agent.  Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall appoint Parent’s transfer agent as exchange agent or another bank or trust company reasonably acceptable to the Company to act as exchange agent (the “Exchange Agent”) for the payment of the Merger Consideration in the Mergers and shall enter into an agreement (the “Exchange Agent Agreement”) relating to the Exchange Agent’s responsibilities under this Agreement.

(d)Deposit of Merger Consideration.  At or prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall deposit, or cause to be deposited, with the Exchange Agent cash sufficient to pay the aggregate Cash Consideration payable in the Mergers and the Fractional Share Cash Amount (to the extent determinable) as is necessary for the payment to holders of Company Common Stock and shall deposit, or shall cause to be deposited, with the Exchange Agent evidence of Parent Common Stock in book-entry form (and/or certificates representing such Parent Common Stock, at Parent’s election) representing the number of shares of Parent Common Stock sufficient to deliver the aggregate Stock Consideration payable in the Mergers to holders of Company Common Stock (such cash, book-entry shares and certificates, together with any dividends or distributions with respect thereto, the “Exchange Fund”).  In the event that the cash portion of the Exchange Fund shall be insufficient to pay the aggregate amount of all Cash Consideration and Fractional Share Cash Amounts (including as a result of any investment of the Exchange Fund), Parent shall promptly deposit additional funds with the Exchange Agent in an amount that is equal to the deficiency in the amount required to make such payment.  Parent shall cause the Exchange Agent to make, and the Exchange Agent shall make, delivery of the Cash Consideration and Fractional Share Amounts in accordance with this Agreement.  The Exchange Fund shall not be used for any purpose that is not expressly provided for in this Agreement.  The Exchange Agent shall invest any cash included in the Exchange Fund as reasonably directed by Parent.  Any interest and other income resulting from such investments shall be paid to Parent upon demand.

(e)Exchange Procedures.  As soon as reasonably practicable, and in any event within five Business Days, after the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Exchange Agent to mail to each holder of record of shares of Company Common Stock whose shares of Company Common Stock were converted pursuant to Section 2.1(a)(i) into the right to receive the Merger Consideration (i) a letter of transmittal, which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of the Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu thereof) to the Exchange Agent and shall be in such form and have such

10

other provisions as Parent shall reasonably designate (the “Letter of Transmittal”) and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu thereof) or Book-Entry Shares in exchange for the Merger Consideration and the Fractional Share Cash Amount and any dividends or other distributions to which such Certificates or Book-Entry Shares become entitled in accordance with Section 2.2(g).

(f)Surrender of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares.  Upon surrender of Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu thereof) or Book-Entry Shares to the Exchange Agent together with the Letter of Transmittal, duly completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto, and such other documents as may customarily be required by the Exchange Agent, or any similar information from the holder of such Certificates or Book-Entry Shares, such holder shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor the Merger Consideration into which the shares represented by such Certificates or Book-Entry Shares have been converted pursuant to this Agreement, together with the Fractional Share Cash Amount and any dividends or other distributions to which such Certificates or Book-Entry Shares become entitled in accordance with Section 2.2(g).  Parent shall instruct the Exchange Agent to pay such Merger Consideration and Fractional Share Cash Amount within five Business Days following the later to occur of (x) the Effective Time and (y) the Exchange Agent’s receipt of such Certificate (or affidavit of loss in lieu thereof) or Book-Entry Share, and the Certificate (or affidavit of loss in lieu thereof) or Book-Entry Share so surrendered shall be forthwith cancelled.  Any dividends or other distributions to which such Certificates or Book-Entry Shares become entitled in accordance with Section 2.2(g) shall become payable in accordance with Section 2.2(g).  In the event of a transfer of ownership of shares of Company Common Stock that is not registered in the transfer or stock records of the Company, any cash to be paid upon, or shares of Parent Common Stock to be issued upon, due surrender of the Certificate or Book-Entry Share formerly representing such shares of Company Common Stock shall be paid or issued, as the case may be, to such a transferee if such Certificate or Book-Entry Share is presented to the Exchange Agent, accompanied by all documents reasonably required to evidence and effect such transfer and to evidence to the reasonable satisfaction of the Exchange Agent and Parent that any applicable stock transfer or other similar Taxes have been paid or are not applicable.  No interest shall be paid or shall accrue on the cash payable upon surrender of any Certificate or Book-Entry Share.  Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 2.2, each Certificate and Book-Entry Share shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive, upon such surrender, the Merger Consideration into which the shares represented by such Certificates or Book-Entry Shares have been converted pursuant to this Agreement, together with the Fractional Share Cash Amount and any dividends or other distributions to which such Certificates or Book-Entry Shares become entitled in accordance with Section 2.2(g).

(g)Treatment of Unexchanged Shares.  No dividends or other distributions, if any, with a record date after the Effective Time with respect to Parent Common Stock, shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered share of Company Common Stock to be converted into shares of Parent Common Stock pursuant to Section 2.1(a)(i) until such holder shall surrender such share in accordance with this Section 2.2.  After the surrender in accordance with this Section 2.2 of a share of Company Common Stock to be converted into Parent Common Stock pursuant to Section 2.1(a)(i), Parent shall cause the holder thereof to be paid, without interest, (i) the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time and theretofore paid with respect to such shares of Parent Common Stock to which such holder is

11

entitled pursuant to this Agreement and (ii) at the appropriate payment date, the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time but prior to such surrender and with a payment date subsequent to such surrender payable with respect to such shares of Parent Common Stock.  After the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Company to pay on the applicable payment date the amount of dividends or other distributions on shares of Company Common Stock that have a record date prior to the Effective Time and a payment date after the Effective Time, such payment to be made to the holders of Company Common Stock on such record date.

(h)No Further Ownership Rights in Company Common Stock.  The shares of Parent Common Stock delivered and cash paid in accordance with the terms of this Article II in respect of any shares of Company Common Stock shall be deemed to have been delivered and paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such shares of Company Common Stock (subject to DGCL 262).  From and after the Effective Time, (i) all holders of Certificates and Book-Entry Shares shall cease to have any rights as stockholders of the Company other than the right to receive the Merger Consideration into which the shares represented by such Certificates or Book-Entry Shares have been converted pursuant to this Agreement upon the surrender of such Certificate or Book-Entry Share in accordance with Section 2.2(f) (together with the Fractional Share Cash Amount and any dividends or other distributions to which such Certificates or Book-Entry Shares become entitled in accordance with Section 2.2(g)), without interest, and (ii) 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.  From and after the Effective Time, there shall be no further registration of transfers on the stock transfer books of the Company of shares of Company Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time.  If, after the Effective Time, any Certificates or Book-Entry Shares formerly representing shares of Company Common Stock are presented to Parent or the Exchange Agent for any reason, such Certificates or Book-Entry Shares shall be cancelled and exchanged as provided in this Article II, subject to applicable Law in the case of Dissenting Shares.

(i)Termination of Exchange Fund.  Any portion of the Exchange Fund (including any interest or other amounts received with respect thereto) that remains unclaimed by, or otherwise undistributed to, the holders of Certificates and Book-Entry Shares for 180 days after the Effective Time shall be delivered to Parent upon Parent’s demand, and any holder of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares who has not theretofore complied with this Article II shall thereafter look only to Parent (subject to abandoned property, escheat or other similar Laws), as general creditors thereof, for satisfaction of its claim for Merger Consideration and any dividends and distributions which such holder has the right to receive pursuant to this Article II without any interest thereon.

(j)No Liability.  None of Parent, the Company, Merger Sub or the Exchange Agent shall be liable to any person in respect of any portion of the Exchange Fund or the Merger Consideration delivered to a public official if required by any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law.  Any other provision of this Agreement notwithstanding, any portion of the Merger Consideration or the cash to be paid in accordance with this Article II that remains undistributed to the holders of Certificates and Book-Entry Shares immediately prior to the date on which the Merger Consideration or such cash would otherwise escheat to or become the

12

property of any Governmental Entity, shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, become the property of the Surviving Corporation, free and clear of all claims or interest of any person previously entitled thereto.

(d)Without limiting the foregoing, the Company shall promptly (and in no event later than one Business Day after its receipt) notify Parent in writing in the event that the Company or any of its Representatives receives a Company Takeover Proposal or a request for information relating to the Company or its Subsidiaries that is reasonably likely to lead to or that contemplates a Company Takeover Proposal, including the identity of the person making the Company Takeover Proposal and the material terms and conditions thereof (including an unredacted copy of such Company Takeover Proposal or, where such Company Takeover Proposal is not in writing, a description of the financial and other material terms thereof).  The

53

Company shall keep Parent reasonably informed, on a reasonably current basis, as to the status of (including any material developments related thereto) such Company Takeover Proposal, inquiry or request, shall promptly (and in any event within one Business Day) provide Parent with any draft agreements relating to such Company Takeover Proposal and shall promptly (and in any event within one Business Day) notify Parent of any material modifications to the financial or other material terms of any such Company Takeover Proposal, inquiry or request.  The Company agrees that it and its Subsidiaries will not enter into any agreement with any person subsequent to the date of this Agreement which prohibits the Company from providing any information to Parent in accordance with, or otherwise complying with, this Section 5.4.

(e)Except as expressly permitted by this Section 5.4(e), the Company Board of Directors shall not (i) (A) fail to include the Company Recommendation in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus when disseminated to the Company’s stockholders, (B) change, qualify, withhold, withdraw or modify, or publicly propose or announce an intention to change, qualify, withhold, withdraw or modify, in either case, in a manner adverse to Parent, the Company Recommendation or (C) adopt, approve or recommend to stockholders of the Company, or publicly propose or announce its intention to adopt, approve or recommend to stockholders of the Company, a Company Takeover Proposal (any action described in this clause (i) being referred to as a “Company Adverse Recommendation Change”), or (ii) authorize, cause or permit the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to enter into any letter of intent, memorandum of understanding, agreement (including an acquisition agreement, merger agreement, joint venture agreement or other agreement), commitment or agreement in principle with respect to any Company Takeover Proposal (other than an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement entered into in accordance with Section 5.4(c)) (a “Company Acquisition Agreement”).  Anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement notwithstanding, prior to the time that the Company Stockholder Approval is obtained, but not after, the Company Board of Directors may, with respect to a bona fide, unsolicited Company Takeover Proposal that did not result from a material breach by the Company, its Subsidiaries or its Representatives of this Section 5.4, make a Company Adverse Recommendation Change or cause the Company to terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 7.1(g) (including paying the Company Termination Fee) in order to enter into a definitive agreement relating to such Company Superior Proposal if, and only if, prior to taking either such action the Company Board of Directors has determined in good faith after consultation with the Company’s independent financial advisor and outside legal counsel that such Company Takeover Proposal constitutes a Company Superior Proposal; provided, however, that, prior to making such Company Adverse Recommendation Change or terminating this Agreement in accordance with Section 7.1(g), (A) the Company has given Parent at least four Business Days’ prior written notice of its intention to take such action and has provided to Parent the identity of the person making such Company Takeover Proposal, a copy of any proposed Company Acquisition Agreements constituting such Company Takeover Proposal, and a copy of any financing commitments relating thereto (or, in each case, if not provided in writing to the Company, a written summary of the material terms thereof), (B) following the end of such notice period, the Company Board of Directors shall have considered in good faith any revisions to the terms of this Agreement proposed by Parent, and shall have determined, after consultation with the Company’s independent financial advisor and outside legal counsel, that the Company Superior Proposal would nevertheless continue to constitute a Company Superior Proposal if the revisions proposed by Parent were to be accepted by the Company and given effect, and (C) in the event of any change to any of the financial terms

54

(including the form, amount and timing of payment of consideration) or any other change to the material terms of such Company Superior Proposal, the Company shall, in each case, have delivered to Parent an additional notice consistent with that described in clause (A) above of this proviso and a new notice period under clause (A) of this proviso shall commence (except that the four Business Day notice period referred to in clause (A) above of this proviso shall instead end at the later of (1) 11:59 p.m. (Eastern Time) on the third Business Day immediately following Parent’s receipt of such notice and (2) the end of the original notice period; during which time the Company shall be required to comply with the requirements of clauses (B) and (C) above of this proviso.  The actions of the Company Board of Directors in making a determination that a Company Takeover Proposal constitutes a Company Superior Proposal and the Company’s authorizing and providing the notices to Parent required by this Section 5.4(e), if done in accordance with this Section 5.4(e), shall not in and of itself, constitute a Company Adverse Recommendation Change, a violation of this Section 5.4 or a termination of this Agreement.  Anything to the contrary contained herein notwithstanding, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall enter into any Company Acquisition Agreement unless this Agreement has been terminated in accordance with its terms.

(f)Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, other than in connection with a Company Takeover Proposal, the Company may, at any time prior to, but not after, the date the Company Stockholder Approval has been obtained, make a Company Adverse Recommendation Change in response to a Company Intervening Event if the Company has complied with its obligations under this Section 5.4 and prior to taking such action, the Company Board of Directors has determined in good faith, after consultation with the Company’s independent financial advisor and outside legal counsel, that the failure to take such action would be inconsistent with the fiduciary duties of the members of the Company Board of Directors under applicable Law; provided, however, that prior to making such Company Adverse Recommendation Change, (i) the Company has given Parent at least four Business Days’ prior written notice of its intention to take such action, and specifying the reasons therefor, including specifying in reasonable detail the applicable Company Intervening Event and (ii) following the end of such notice period, the Company Board of Directors shall have considered in good faith any revisions to the terms of this Agreement proposed in writing by Parent, and shall have determined, after consultation with the Company’s independent financial advisor and outside legal counsel, that the failure to make such Company Adverse Recommendation Change would be inconsistent with the fiduciary duties of the members of the Company Board of Directors under applicable Law; provided, that the actions of the Company Board of Directors in making such determination and the Company’s authorizing and providing of such notice pursuant to this Section 5.4(f) shall not, if done in accordance with Section 5.4(f), in and of itself, constitute a Company Adverse Recommendation Change, a violation of this Section 5.4 or a termination of this Agreement.

(g)Nothing contained in this Agreement shall prohibit the Company or the Company Board of Directors from (i) taking and disclosing to the stockholders of the Company a position contemplated by Rule 14e-2(a) or Rule 14d-9 promulgated under the Exchange Act, making any “stop, look and listen” communication to the stockholders of the Company pursuant to Rule 14d-9(f) under the Exchange Act pending disclosure of its position thereunder or otherwise complying with its disclosure obligations under applicable Law with regard to a Company Takeover Proposal; or (ii) directing any person (or the representative of that person)

55

that makes a Company Takeover Proposal to the provisions of this Section 5.4; provided that in the case of either clause (i) or (ii) no such action, position or disclosure that would amount to a Company Adverse Recommendation Change shall be permitted, made or taken other than in compliance with Section 5.4(e).

(h)Any violation of the restrictions contained in this Section 5.4 by any of the Company’s Representatives shall be deemed to be a breach of this Section 5.4 by the Company.

Section 5.5Employee Matters.

(a)During the period commencing at the Effective Time and ending on the first anniversary of the Effective Time, Parent shall provide or cause its Subsidiaries to provide to each employee of the Company or its Subsidiaries who continues to be employed by Parent or any of its Subsidiaries following the Effective Time (collectively, the “Continuing Employees”) for so long as such Continuing Employee remains employed by Parent during such period, (i) a base salary or base wage rate, as applicable, that is no less than that provided to such Continuing Employee immediately prior to the Effective Time, (ii) a target quarterly and/or annual cash bonus or commission opportunity, as applicable, that is no less favorable than that provided to such Continuing Employee immediately prior to the Effective Time, and (iii) other compensation opportunities and employee benefits (including, without limitation, equity or equity-based compensation and severance, retirement, health and welfare benefits) that are no less favorable in the aggregate than those provided to similarly situated employees of Parent and its Subsidiaries; provided that Parent may satisfy its obligation under this Section 5.5(a)(iii) for the period commencing at the Effective Time and ending on the earlier of (A) the first anniversary of the Effective Time and (B) December 31, 2018 (the earlier such date, the “Benefit Plan Transition Date”) by providing employee benefits on terms that are no less favorable in the aggregate to those provided to such Continuing Employee by the Company and its Subsidiaries immediately prior to the Effective Time.

(b)Following the Closing Date, Parent shall cause any Parent Benefit Plans in which the Continuing Employees are eligible to participate following the Closing Date to recognize the service of each Continuing Employee with the Company and its Affiliates (and their respective predecessors) prior to the Closing Date for purposes of eligibility, vesting and benefit accrual (other than benefit accruals under defined benefit pension plans or retiree welfare plans) under such Parent Benefit Plans, in each case, to the same extent such service was recognized immediately prior to the Effective Time under comparable Company Benefit Plans; provided that such recognition of service shall not (i) operate to duplicate any benefits of a Continuing Employee with respect to the same period of service, or (ii) apply for purposes of any Parent Benefit Plan that is grandfathered or frozen, either with respect to level of benefits or participation.  With respect to any Parent Benefit Plan that provides medical, dental, hospital, pharmaceutical or vision insurance benefits, for the plan year in which such Continuing Employee is first eligible to participate, Parent shall (A) cause any preexisting condition limitations or eligibility waiting periods under such plan to be waived with respect to such Continuing Employee and his or her covered dependents to the extent such limitation would have been waived or satisfied under the corresponding Company Benefit Plans in which such Continuing Employee and his or her covered dependents participated immediately prior to the Effective Time, and (B) credit each Continuing Employee and his or her dependents for an

56

amount equal to any medical, dental or vision expenses incurred by such Continuing Employee in the plan year in which such Continuing Employee is first eligible to participate in such Parent Benefit Plan, for purposes of any applicable deductible and annual out-of-pocket expense requirements under any such Parent Benefit Plan to the extent such expenses would have been credited under comparable Company Benefit Plans in which such Continuing Employee and his or her covered dependents participated immediately prior to the Effective Time.

(c)If requested by Parent in writing not less than fifteen Business Days before the anticipated Closing Date, the Company Board of Directors (or the appropriate committee thereof) shall adopt resolutions and take such other action as is necessary to terminate any Company Benefit Plan that is a defined contribution plan intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code (collectively, the “Company 401(k) Plan”), effective as of the day immediately prior to the Effective Time.  In the event such request is made and the Company 401(k) Plan is terminated, then following the Effective Time and as soon as practicable following receipt of a favorable determination letter from the IRS regarding the termination of the Company 401(k) Plan, the assets thereof shall be distributed to the participants and Parent shall permit the Continuing Employees who are then actively employed by Parent or a Subsidiary thereof to make rollover contributions of “eligible rollover distributions” (within the meaning of Section 401(a)(31) of the Code) (excluding loans) distributed to such Continuing Employee from the Company 401(k) Plan to Parent’s 401(k) plan.

(d)Nothing in this Agreement shall confer upon any Continuing Employee or other service provider any right to continue in the employ or service of Parent or any Affiliate of Parent, or shall interfere with or restrict in any way the rights of Parent or any of its Affiliates, which rights are hereby expressly reserved, to discharge or terminate the services of any Continuing Employee or other service provider at any time for any reason whatsoever, with or without cause.  In no event shall the terms of this Agreement be deemed to (i) establish, amend or modify any Company Benefit Plan, Parent Benefit Plan or any other compensation or employee benefit plan, program, agreement or arrangement maintained or sponsored by Parent, the Surviving Corporation, the Company or any of their Subsidiaries or Affiliates; or (ii) alter or limit the ability of Parent, the Surviving Corporation, the Company or any of their Subsidiaries or Affiliates to amend, modify or terminate any Company Benefit Plan, Parent Benefit Plan or any other compensation or employee benefit plan, program, agreement or arrangement after the Closing Date.  Without limiting the generality of Section 8.13, nothing in this Section 5.5 shall create any third party beneficiary rights in any person other than the Parties, including any Continuing Employee or current or former service provider of the Company or its Affiliates (or any beneficiaries or dependents thereof).

Section 5.6Regulatory Approvals; Efforts.

(a)Prior to the Closing, Parent, Merger Sub and the Company shall use their respective reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all reasonable actions, and to do, or cause to be done, all reasonable things necessary, proper or advisable under any applicable Laws to consummate and make effective the Mergers, including (i) the preparation and filing of all forms, registrations and notices required to be filed to consummate the Mergers, (ii) the satisfaction of the conditions to consummating the Mergers, (iii) taking all reasonable actions necessary to obtain (and cooperating with each other in obtaining) any consent, authorization,

57

Order, waiting period expiration or approval of, or any exemption by, any third party, including any Governmental Entity (which actions shall include furnishing all information and documentary material required under the HSR Act and the clearances and approvals set forth in Section 5.6(a) of the Company Disclosure Schedule required to be obtained or made by Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or any of their respective Subsidiaries in connection with the Mergers or the taking of any action contemplated by this Agreement, and (iv) the execution and delivery of any reasonable additional instruments necessary to consummate the Mergers and to fully carry out the purposes of this Agreement.  Additionally, each of Parent, Merger Sub and the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to not take any action after the date of this Agreement that would reasonably be expected to materially delay the obtaining of, or result in not obtaining, any permission, approval or consent from any such Governmental Entity necessary to be obtained prior to the Closing.

(b)Parent and the Company shall jointly devise and implement the strategy for all filings, notifications, submissions and communications in connection with any filing, notice, petition, statement, registration, submission of information, application or similar filing subject to this Section 5.6.  Parent and the Company shall each keep the other apprised of the status of matters relating to the completion of the Mergers and work cooperatively in connection with obtaining all required consents, authorizations, Orders, waiting period expirations or approvals of, or any exemptions by, any Governmental Entity undertaken pursuant to the provisions of this Section 5.6.  In that regard, prior to the Closing, each Party shall promptly consult with the other Parties to this Agreement with respect to and provide any necessary information and assistance as the other Parties may reasonably request with respect to (and, in the case of correspondence, provide the other Parties (or their counsel) copies of) all notices, submissions, or filings made by such Party with any Governmental Entity or any other information supplied by such Party to, or correspondence with, a Governmental Entity in connection with this Agreement and the Mergers.  Each Party to this Agreement shall (A) promptly inform the other Parties to this Agreement, and if in writing, furnish the other Parties with copies of (or, in the case of oral communications, advise the other Parties orally of) any communication from or to any Governmental Entity regarding the Mergers, (B) permit the other Parties to review and discuss in advance, and consider in good faith the views of the other Parties in connection with, any proposed communication with any such Governmental Entity, and (C) to the extent permitted by any applicable Governmental Entity, give the other Party a reasonable opportunity to attend and participate in any in-person meetings with such Governmental Entity regarding the Mergers.   If any Party to this Agreement or any Representative of such Parties receives a request for additional information or documentary material from any Governmental Entity with respect to the Mergers, then such Party will use reasonable best efforts to make, or cause to be made, promptly and after consultation with the other Parties to this Agreement in good faith, an appropriate response in substantial compliance with such request.  Each Party shall furnish the other Parties with copies of all correspondence, filings and communications (and memoranda setting forth the substance thereof) between it and any such Governmental Entity with respect to this Agreement and the Mergers, and furnish the other Parties with such necessary information and reasonable assistance as the other Parties may reasonably request in connection with its preparation of necessary filings or submissions of information to any such Governmental Entity; provided, however, that Parent and the Company may, as each deems advisable and necessary, reasonably designate any competitively sensitive material provided to the other under this Section 5.6 as “Antitrust Counsel Only Material.”  Such materials and the

58

information contained therein shall be given only to the outside antitrust counsel of the recipient and will not be disclosed by such outside counsel to employees, officers or directors of the recipient unless express permission is obtained in advance from the source of the materials (Parent or the Company, as the case may be) or its legal counsel.  Anything to the contrary contained in this Section 5.6 notwithstanding, materials provided pursuant to this Section 5.6 may be redacted (i) to remove references concerning the valuation of Parent, the Company and the Mergers and other confidential information, (ii) as necessary to comply with contractual arrangements, and (iii) as necessary to address reasonable privilege concerns.

(c)The Company and Parent shall use reasonable best efforts to file, as promptly as practicable, but in any event no later than 15 Business Days after the date of this Agreement, all notifications required under the HSR Act.  In the event that the Parties receive a request for information or documentary material pursuant to the HSR Act (a “Second Request”), the Parties will use their respective reasonable best efforts to respond to such Second Request as promptly as practicable, and counsel for both Parties will closely cooperate during the entirety of any such Second Request review process.  The Parties agree to use reasonable best efforts to supply as promptly as practicable and advisable any additional information and documentary material that may be required under any other Antitrust Law.

Section 5.7Preparation of the Form S-4 and the Proxy Statement/Prospectus; Company Stockholders Meeting.

(a)As promptly as reasonably practicable following the date of this Agreement, (i) the Company and Parent shall jointly prepare and cause to be filed with the SEC the Proxy Statement/Prospectus in preliminary form, and (ii) Parent shall prepare and cause to be filed with the SEC, the Form S-4 with respect to the shares of Parent Common Stock issuable in the Mergers, which will include the Proxy Statement/Prospectus with respect to the Company Stockholder Meeting.  Each of the Company and Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts to (A) have the Form S-4 declared effective under the Securities Act as promptly as practicable after such filing, (B) ensure that the Form S-4 complies in all material respects with the applicable provisions of the Exchange Act or Securities Act, and (C) keep the Form S-4 effective for so long as necessary to complete the Mergers.  Each of the Company and Parent shall furnish all information concerning itself, its Affiliates and the holders of its shares to the other and provide such other assistance as may be reasonably requested in connection with the preparation, filing and distribution of the Form S-4 and Proxy Statement/Prospectus.  Each of the Company and Parent shall promptly notify the other upon the receipt of any comments from the SEC or any request from the SEC for amendments or supplements to the Form S-4 or Proxy Statement/Prospectus, and shall, as promptly as practicable after receipt thereof, provide the other with copies of all correspondence between it and its Representatives, on one hand, and the SEC, on the other hand, and all written comments with respect to the Proxy Statement/Prospectus or the Form S-4 received from the SEC and advise the other party on any oral comments with respect to the Proxy Statement/Prospectus or the Form S-4 received from the SEC.  Each of the Company and Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts to respond as promptly as practicable to any comments from the SEC with respect to the Proxy Statement/Prospectus, and Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts to respond as promptly as practicable to any comment from the SEC with respect to the Form S-4.  The foregoing notwithstanding, prior to filing the Form S-4 (or any amendment or supplement thereto) or

59

mailing the Proxy Statement/Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) or responding to any comments of the SEC with respect thereto, each of the Company and Parent shall cooperate and provide the other a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such document or response in advance (including the proposed final version of such document or response), except to the extent such disclosures relate to a Company Takeover Proposal.  Parent shall advise the Company, promptly after it receives notice thereof, of the time of effectiveness of the Form S-4, the issuance of any stop order relating thereto or the suspension of the qualification of the shares of Parent Common Stock issuable in connection with the Mergers for offering or sale in any jurisdiction, and Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts to have any such stop order or suspension lifted, reversed or otherwise terminated.  Parent shall also take any other action required to be taken under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any applicable foreign or state securities or “blue sky” Laws and the rules and regulations thereunder in connection with the issuance of the shares of Parent Common Stock in the Mergers, and the Company shall furnish all information concerning the Company and the holders of the Company Common Stock as may be reasonably requested in connection with any such actions.

(b)If, at any time prior to the receipt of the Company Stockholder Approval, any information relating to the Company or Parent, or any of their respective Affiliates, should be discovered by the Company or Parent which, in the reasonable judgment of the Company or Parent, should be set forth in an amendment of, or a supplement to, any of the Form S-4 or the Proxy Statement/Prospectus, so that any of such documents would not include any misstatement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, the Party which discovers such information shall promptly notify the other Parties, and the Company and Parent shall cooperate in the prompt filing with the SEC of any necessary amendment of, or supplement to, the Proxy Statement/Prospectus or the Form S-4 and, to the extent required by Law, in disseminating the information contained in such amendment or supplement to stockholders of the Company.  Nothing in this Section 5.7(b) shall limit the obligations of any Party under Section 5.7(a).  For purposes of this Section 5.7, any information concerning or related to the Company, its Affiliates or the Company Stockholder Meeting will be deemed to have been provided by the Company, and any information concerning or related to Parent or its Affiliates will be deemed to have been provided by Parent.

(c)The Company shall take, in accordance with applicable Law and the Company Organizational Documents, all action necessary to mail the Proxy Statement/Prospectus to the Company’s stockholders as promptly as reasonably practicable after the Form S-4 is declared effective by the SEC and to convene a meeting of the Company’s stockholders to consider the proposal to adopt this Agreement (the “Company Stockholder Meeting”) as promptly as reasonably practicable after the date of mailing of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus (including setting an appropriate record date for the Company Stockholder Meeting). The Company shall, through the Company Board of Directors, make the Company Recommendation, include such Company Recommendation in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus and solicit and use its reasonable best efforts to obtain the Company Stockholder Approval, except, in each case, during such time as a valid Company Adverse Recommendation Change is in effect, and shall not submit any other proposal (other than, if the Company Stockholder Meeting is also the Company’s annual stockholder meeting, proposals customarily brought in connection with the Company’s annual stockholder meeting) to such holders in connection with

60

the Company Stockholder Meeting without the prior written consent of Parent.  The foregoing provisions of this Section 5.7(c) notwithstanding, the Company shall have the right, without the prior consent of Parent, to make one or more successive postponements or adjournments of the Company Stockholder Meeting (A) to ensure that any supplement or amendment to the Proxy Statement/Prospectus required under applicable Law is timely provided to the stockholders of the Company within a reasonable amount of time, in the good faith judgment of the Company Board of Directors (after consultation with its outside counsel), in advance of the Company Stockholder Meeting, (B) if required by applicable Law or a request from the SEC or its staff or (C) if, on a date for which the Company Stockholder Meeting is scheduled, the Company has not received proxies representing a sufficient number of shares of Company Common Stock to obtain the Company Stockholder Approval, whether or not a quorum is present; provided that (1) the duration of any such adjournment or postponement shall be limited to the minimum duration reasonably necessary to remedy the circumstances giving rise to such adjournment or postponement; (2) no single such adjournment or postponement shall be for more than five Business Days except as may be required by federal securities Laws; and (3) in the case of clause (C), the Company Stockholder Meeting shall not be postponed to later than the date that is 20 Business Days after the date for which the Company Stockholder Meeting was originally scheduled without the prior written consent of Parent.  All other postponements or adjournments shall require the prior written consent of Parent.  Nothing contained in this Agreement, including, for the avoidance of doubt, a Company Adverse Recommendation Change, shall be deemed to relieve the Company of its obligations to submit this Agreement to its stockholders for a vote on the approval and adoption thereof.

Section 5.8Takeover Statutes.  The Parties shall use their respective reasonable best efforts (a) to take all action necessary so that no “moratorium,” “control share acquisition,” “fair price,” “supermajority,” “affiliate transactions” or “business combination statute or regulation” or other similar state anti-takeover Laws and regulations becomes applicable to the Mergers or any of the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement and (b) if any such Law may become, or may purport to be, applicable to the Mergers or any of the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, to grant such approvals and take such actions as are reasonably necessary so that the Mergers and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement may be consummated as promptly as practicable on the terms contemplated by this Agreement and otherwise eliminate or minimize the effects of such Law on the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Section 5.9Public Announcements.  The Parties shall consult with one another prior to issuing, and provide each other with the opportunity to review and comment upon, any public announcement, statement or other disclosure with respect to this Agreement or the Mergers and shall not issue any such public announcement or statement prior to such consultation, except as may be required by Law or by the rules and regulations of the Nasdaq (in which event such Party shall endeavor, on a basis reasonable under the circumstances, to provide a meaningful opportunity to the other Party to review and comment upon such public announcement or statement in advance and shall give due consideration to all reasonable additions, deletions or changes suggested thereto); provided that, (i) each of the Company and Parent may make press releases or public announcements concerning this Agreement or the Mergers that consist solely of information previously disclosed in previous press releases or announcements made by Parent and/or the Company in compliance with this Section 5.9 and (ii)

61

each of the Company and Parent may make any public statements in response to questions by the press, analysts, investors or analysts or those participating in investor calls or industry conferences, so long as such statements consist solely of information previously disclosed in previous press releases, public disclosures or public statements made by Parent and/or the Company in compliance with this Section 5.9.  The Company shall not be required to provide any review or comment to Parent regarding any statement, release or disclosure in response to or in connection with the receipt and existence of a Company Takeover Proposal, its consideration of making or its making of a Company Adverse Recommendation Change or any matters related thereto, and following any public statement, release or disclosure by the Company in respect of any of the foregoing matters, Parent shall not be required to provide any review or comment to the Company regarding any statement, release or disclosure made by Parent with respect to such matters.  The Company and Parent agree to issue the previously agreed upon form of joint press release announcing the execution and delivery of this Agreement promptly following the execution of this Agreement.

Section 5.10Indemnification and Insurance.

(a)Parent shall ensure that all rights to indemnification and exculpation from Liabilities for acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Effective Time and related advancement of expenses now existing in favor of any present and former director, officer and employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and each person who served as a director, officer, member, trustee or fiduciary of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, pension or other employee benefit plan or enterprise at the request or for the benefit of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (in each case, when acting in such capacity) (collectively, together with their respective heirs, executors and administrators, the “Company Indemnified Parties”) as provided in the Company Organizational Documents (or Company Subsidiary Organizational Documents) as in effect on the date of this Agreement or any indemnification agreements in existence as of, and disclosed to Parent prior to, the date hereof, shall survive the Mergers and shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with their terms.  The foregoing notwithstanding, if any claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation (whether arising before, at or after the Effective Time) is made against any Company Indemnified Party with respect to matters subject to indemnification hereunder on or prior to the sixth anniversary of the Effective Time, the rights to indemnification and exculpation from Liabilities and advancement of expenses referenced in the preceding sentence shall continue in effect until the final disposition of such claim, action, suit proceeding or investigation.

(b)From and after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall indemnify and hold harmless each Company Indemnified Party against any costs or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines, losses, damages or Liabilities incurred in connection with any claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, arising out of the fact that such person was a director or officer of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or other fiduciary in any entity, trust, pension or other employee benefit plan or enterprise at the request or for the benefit of the Company and pertaining to matters existing or occurring or actions or omissions taken prior to or at the Effective Time, including with respect to this Agreement and the Mergers, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, and the Surviving Corporation shall also advance expenses to the Company Indemnified Parties as incurred to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law;

62

provided that the Company Indemnified Party to whom expenses are advanced provides an undertaking to repay such advances if it is ultimately determined by a final and nonappealable judicial determination that such Company Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification under this Section 5.10 or otherwise.

(c)For a period of six years after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall maintain in effect the current policies of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance maintained by the Company (provided that the Surviving Corporation may substitute therefor policies with a substantially comparable insurer of at least the same coverage and amounts containing terms and conditions which are no less advantageous to the insured) with respect to claims arising from facts or events, or actions or omissions, which occurred or are alleged to have occurred at or before the Effective Time; provided, however, that the Surviving Corporation shall not be obligated to make annual premium payments for such insurance to the extent such premiums exceed 300% of the annual premiums paid as of the date hereof by the Company for such insurance (the “Premium Cap”), and if such premiums for such insurance would at any time exceed the Premium Cap, then the Surviving Corporation shall cause to be maintained policies of insurance which, in the Surviving Corporation’s good faith determination, provide the maximum coverage available at an annual premium equal to the Premium Cap.  In lieu of the foregoing, the Company, in consultation with, but only upon the consent of Parent, may (and at the request of Parent, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to) obtain at or prior to the Effective Time a six-year prepaid “tail” policy providing equivalent coverage to that described in the preceding sentence; provided that if the total cost for such prepaid “tail” policy exceeds the Premium Cap, then the Surviving Corporation may obtain a prepaid “tail” policy with the maximum coverage available for a total cost of the Premium Cap.  If such prepaid policies have been obtained prior to the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall maintain such policies in full force and effect, and continue to honor the obligations thereunder.

(d)In the event that the Surviving Corporation (i) consolidates with or merges into any other person and shall not be the continuing or surviving entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any person, then proper provision shall be made so that such continuing or surviving entity or transferee of such assets, as the case may be, shall assume the obligations set forth in this Section 5.10.

(e)The rights of each Company Indemnified Party pursuant to this Section 5.10 shall be in addition to, and not in limitation of, any other rights such Company Indemnified Party may have under the Company Organizational Documents (or Company Subsidiary Organizational Documents) or under applicable Law.  The provisions of this Section 5.10 shall survive the Effective Time and are intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each Company Indemnified Party and his or her heirs and representatives.

Section 5.11Control of Operations.  Without in any way limiting any Party’s rights or obligations under this Agreement, the Parties understand and agree that (a) nothing contained in this Agreement shall give Parent or the Company, directly or indirectly, the right to control or direct the other Party’s operations prior to the Effective Time and (b) prior to the Effective Time, each of the Company and Parent shall exercise, consistent with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, complete control and supervision over its operations.

Section 5.14Transaction Litigation.  Subject to execution of a customary joint defense agreement, the Company shall give Parent the opportunity, at Parent’s expense, to participate in the Company’s defense or settlement of any stockholder litigation against the Company and/or its directors or executive officers relating to this Agreement and/or the Mergers.  The Company agrees that it shall not settle or offer to settle any litigation commenced prior to or after the date of this Agreement against the Company or its directors, executive officers or similar persons by any stockholder of the Company relating to this Agreement and/or the Mergers without the prior written consent of Parent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

Section 5.17Certain Tax Matters.  Each Party shall not (and shall cause its respective Subsidiaries not to) take or fail to take any action which action (or failure to act) could reasonably be expected to prevent or impede the Mergers, taken together, from qualifying as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code.  Each of Parent and the Company will use its reasonable best efforts and will cooperate with one another to obtain the opinions of counsel referred to in Section 6.2(c) and Section 6.3(c).  In connection therewith, (a) Parent shall deliver to each such counsel a duly executed certificate containing such customary representations, warranties and covenants as shall be reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to each such counsel and reasonably necessary or appropriate to enable each such counsel to render the opinion described in Section 6.2(c) or Section 6.3(c), as applicable (the “Parent Tax Certificate”), (b) the Company shall deliver to each such counsel a duly executed certificate containing such customary representations, warranties and covenants as shall be reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to each such counsel and reasonably necessary or appropriate to enable each such counsel to render the opinion described in Section 6.2(c) or Section 6.3(c), as applicable (the “Company Tax Certificate”), in each case of (a) and (b), dated as of the Closing Date, and (c) Parent and the Company shall provide such other information as reasonably requested by each such counsel for purposes of rendering the opinion described in Section 6.2(c) or Section 6.3(c), as applicable.

Section 5.18Advice of Changes.  The Company and Parent shall each promptly advise the other Party of (a) any notice or other communication from any person alleging that the consent of such person is or may be required in connection with the Mergers or (b) upon receiving any written communication from any Governmental Entity or third party whose consent or approval is required for consummation of the Mergers that causes such Party to believe that there is a reasonable likelihood that any such consent or approval will not be obtained or that the receipt of any such consent or approval will be materially delayed.

Section 5.19Obligations of Merger Sub.  Parent shall, and shall cause Merger Sub to, perform its obligations under this Agreement.

65

Section 5.20Director and Officer Resignations.  As requested by Parent, the Company shall cause to be delivered to Parent prior to the Closing resignations executed by directors and officers of the Company and its Subsidiaries, in each case to be effective upon the Effective Time.

Section 5.21Certain Intellectual Property Matters.  At the Closing, the Company shall provide Parent with a schedule that lists all of the filing actions and maintenance and renewal fees, and corresponding due dates, with respect to any Company Owned Intellectual Property needed to be taken, met or paid during the 120 day period following the Closing in order to prosecute or maintain such Company Owned Intellectual Property.

Section 5.23Change of Method.  Parent may at any time change the method of effecting the Mergers, including by causing the Follow-On Merger to be a merger of the Company with and into a wholly owned disregarded limited liability company subsidiary of Parent, if and to the extent requested by Parent, and Company agrees to enter into such amendments to this Agreement as Parent may reasonably request in order to give effect to such restructuring; provided, however, that no such change or amendment shall (i) alter or change the amount or kind of the Merger Consideration provided for in this Agreement, (ii) adversely affect the Tax treatment of the Mergers with respect to the Company’s stockholders or (iii) be reasonably likely to cause the Closing to be materially delayed or cause any condition of the Closing to fail to be met.

TERMINATION

Section 7.1Termination or Abandonment.  Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, this Agreement may be terminated and the Mergers may be abandoned at any time prior to the Effective Time (except as otherwise provided below, whether before or after receipt of the Company Stockholder Approval), as follows:

(a)by the mutual written consent of the Company and Parent;

(b)by either the Company or Parent, if the Effective Time shall not have occurred on or prior to 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time, on February 28, 2018 (the “Initial End Date”); provided, however, that if on the Initial End Date all of the conditions to Closing, other than the conditions set forth in Section 6.1(c) or Section 6.1(d) as it relates to an Antitrust Law, shall have been satisfied or waived (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, which conditions shall be capable of being satisfied at such time), the Initial End Date will automatically be extended to May 28, 2018 (the “Outside End Date”) and provided, further, that the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 7.1(b) shall not be available to any Party whose action or failure to fulfill any obligation under this Agreement proximately caused or resulted in the Effective Time not occurring prior to the End Date;

(e)by the Company (provided that the Company is not then in material breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or other agreement contained herein) if (i) Parent or Merger Sub has breached any representation, warranty, covenant or other agreement contained in this Agreement, which breach would result in the conditions in Article VI not being satisfied and (ii) which breach, failure to perform or inaccuracy is either not curable or is not cured by the earlier of (A) the End Date and (B) the date that is 30 Business Days following written notice from the Company to Parent describing such breach or failure in reasonable detail and of the Company’s intention to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 7.1(e);

69

(f)by Parent (provided that Parent is not then in material breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or other agreement contained herein), (i) if the Company has breached any representation, warranty, covenant or other agreement contained in this Agreement, which breach would result in the conditions in Article VI not being satisfied; and (ii) which breach, failure to perform or inaccuracy is either not curable or is not cured by the earlier of (A) the End Date and (B) the date that is 30 Business Days following written notice from Parent to the Company describing such breach or failure in reasonable detail and of Parent’s intention to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 7.1(f);

Section 7.2Effect of Termination.  In the event of termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1, this Agreement shall terminate (except that the Confidentiality Agreement and the provisions of this Section 7.2, Section 7.3 and Article VIII shall survive any termination), and there shall be no other Liability on the part of the Company, on the one hand, or Parent or Merger Sub, on the other hand, to the other except (i) as provided in Section 7.3 or (ii) Liability arising out of or resulting from fraud or any Willful Breach of any provision of this Agreement occurring prior to termination (in which case the aggrieved Party shall be entitled to all rights and remedies available at law or in equity).

Section 7.3Company Termination Fee.

(a)If (i) Parent or the Company terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1(b) (and at the End Date all of the conditions to the Company’s obligations to close other than receipt of the Company Stockholder Approval have been satisfied, or are capable of satisfaction had the Closing occurred on the End Date), Section 7.1(d) or Section 7.1(f) (arising from a Willful Breach of the Company’s covenants or agreements set forth in this Agreement), (ii) a Company Takeover Proposal shall have been publicly announced or publicly disclosed after the date of this Agreement and prior to (A) the End Date (in the case of a termination pursuant to Section 7.1(b)), (B) the Company Stockholder Meeting (in the case of a termination pursuant to Section 7.1(d)) or (C) the date of the breach giving rise to such termination (in the case of a termination pursuant to Section 7.1(f) (arising from a Willful Breach of the Company’s covenants or agreements set forth in this Agreement)), and was not definitively withdrawn at least three Business Days prior to (X) the End Date (in the case of a termination pursuant to Section 7.1(b)), (Y) the Company Stockholder Meeting (in the case of a termination pursuant to Section 7.1(d)) or (Z) the date of the breach giving rise to such termination (in the case of a termination pursuant to Section 7.1(f) (arising from a Willful Breach of the Company’s

70

covenants or agreements set forth in this Agreement)) and (iii) at any time on or prior to the date that is 12 months following the date of such termination, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries enters into a definitive agreement with respect to, or consummates, a transaction included within the definition of a Company Takeover Proposal with any Person (a “Company Takeover Transaction”), the Company shall pay or cause to be paid to Parent the Company Termination Fee, by wire transfer (to an account designated by Parent) in immediately available funds, upon the earlier of entering into such definitive agreement with respect to any Company Takeover Transaction and the consummation of any Company Takeover Transaction; provided that for the purposes of clause (iii) only, all references in the definition of Company Takeover Proposal to “25%” shall be deemed to be references to “50%.”

(b)If Parent terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1(h), the Company shall pay or cause to be paid to Parent the Company Termination Fee, by wire transfer (to an account designated by Parent) in immediately available funds, within three Business Days after such termination.

(c)If this Agreement is terminated by the Company pursuant to Section 7.1(g), the Company shall pay or cause to be paid to Parent the Company Termination Fee immediately prior to or concurrently with, and as a condition to the effectiveness of, such termination.

(d)“Company Termination Fee” shall mean $28,500,000, in cash.  Anything to the contrary in this Agreement notwithstanding, if the Company Termination Fee shall become due and payable in accordance with this Section 7.3, from and after such termination and payment of the Company Termination Fee in full pursuant to and in accordance with this Section 7.3, the Company and its Affiliates and Representatives (in the case of a payment of the Company Termination Fee by the Company) shall have no further Liability of any kind for any reason in connection with this Agreement or the termination contemplated hereby other than as provided under this Section 7.3, except in the case of fraud or a Willful Breach of this Agreement.  Each of the Parties acknowledges that the Company Termination Fee is not intended to be a penalty, but rather is liquidated damages in a reasonable amount that will compensate Parent in the circumstances in which the Company Termination Fee is due and payable and which do not involve fraud or Willful Breach of this Agreement, for the efforts and resources expended and opportunities foregone while negotiating this Agreement and in reliance on this Agreement and on the expectation of the consummation of the Mergers, which amount would otherwise be impossible to calculate with precision.  In no event shall Parent be entitled to more than one payment of the Company Termination Fee in connection with a termination of this Agreement pursuant to which such Company Termination Fee is payable.  For the avoidance of doubt, while Parent and Merger Sub may pursue both a grant of specific performance in accordance with Section 8.5 and the payment of the Company Termination Fee under this Section 7.3, under no circumstances shall Parent and Merger Sub be permitted or entitled to receive the Company Termination Fee (if entitled under this Section 7.3) if the Mergers are consummated.

(e)The Company acknowledges that the agreements contained in this Section 7.3 are an integral part of the Mergers, and that, without these agreements, Parent and Merger Sub would not enter into this Agreement.  Accordingly, if the Company fails to pay in a

71

timely manner any amount due pursuant to this Section 7.3, then (i) the Company shall reimburse Parent for all costs and expenses (including disbursements and reasonable fees of counsel) incurred in the collection of such overdue amount, including in connection with any related claims, actions or proceedings commenced, and (ii) the Company shall pay or cause to be paid to Parent interest on such amount from and including the date payment of such amount was due to but excluding the date of actual payment at the prime rate set forth in The Wall Street Journal in effect on the date such payment was required to be made.

Exhibit 99.1

August 25, 2017

Littelfuse, Inc.

8755 W. Higgins Road, Suite 500

Chicago, IL 60631

Ladies and Gentlemen:

As a holder of Company Common Stock (as defined below), the undersigned (collectively, the “Stockholder”) understands that IXYS Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and Littelfuse, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), are concurrently entering into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated of even date herewith (as it may be amended from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”), providing for, among other things, a merger of a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent with and into the Company, followed by a merger of the Company with and into Parent (the “Mergers”), in which each of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company (the “Company Common Stock”) (other than any Cancelled Shares and any Dissenting Shares) will be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration at the Effective Time.  Terms used without definition in this letter agreement shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Merger Agreement.

The Stockholder acknowledges that, as an inducement for Parent to enter into the Merger Agreement, Parent has required that the Stockholder enter into this letter agreement and the Stockholder is willing to enter into this letter agreement.

The Stockholder confirms his, her or its agreement with Parent, and Parent confirms its agreement with the Stockholder, as follows:

1.As used in this letter agreement, “Shares” means the shares of Company Common Stock which the Stockholder owns of record or beneficially and has the power to vote (for the avoidance of doubt, excluding any shares underlying options exercisable for, or warrants to purchase, shares of Company Common Stock whether or not such shares are included as beneficially owned by the Stockholder in the Company’s most recent annual proxy statement) as of the date of this letter agreement.  The Shares are owned by the Stockholder free and clear of all encumbrances, voting arrangements and commitments of every kind, other than under applicable securities Laws or as set forth on Schedule II hereto and except as would not restrict the performance of the Stockholder’s obligations under this letter agreement.  The Stockholder represents and warrants that the Stockholder has the sole or shared power to vote or direct the vote of all Shares.

2.At every meeting of the stockholders of the Company called, and at every postponement, recess or adjournment thereof, and on every action or approval by written consent of the stockholders of the Company, the Stockholder agrees to vote, or cause to be voted, all of the Shares (a) in favor of (i) adoption of the Merger Agreement and (ii) any other matter that is required to be approved by the stockholders of the Company to consummate the

transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, (b) against (i) any proposal made in opposition to approval of the Merger Agreement or in support of any Company Takeover Transaction other than the Mergers and (ii) any Company Takeover Proposal and (c) in favor of any postponement, recess or adjournment at any meeting of the stockholders of the Company relating to any of the matters set forth in the foregoing clause (a) or (b) if the Company has not received proxies representing a sufficient number of shares necessary to obtain the Company Stockholder Approval, in each case unless the Merger Agreement shall have been amended or modified to reduce the amount of Merger Consideration.  Any such vote shall be cast (or consent shall be given) by the Stockholder in accordance with such procedures relating thereto so as to ensure that it is duly counted, including for purposes of determining that a quorum is present and for purposes of recording the results of such vote (or consent).  The Stockholder hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, and agrees not to exercise, any rights of appraisal, any dissenters’ rights or any similar rights relating to the Mergers that the Stockholder may directly or indirectly have by virtue of the ownership of any Shares.

3.The Stockholder hereby revokes any and all previous proxies granted with respect to the Shares.

4.From and after the Effective Time until the earlier of (a) the twelve (12) month anniversary of the Effective Time and (b) February 1, 2019, the Stockholder hereby agrees not to, and to cause its controlled Affiliates not to, offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge, grant any option to purchase, make any short sale or otherwise dispose of any shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Parent (“Parent Common Stock”) or any options or warrants to purchase any Parent Common Stock, or any securities convertible into, exchangeable for or that represent the right to receive Parent Common Stock, owned directly by the Stockholder (including holding as a custodian) or with respect to which the Stockholder has beneficial ownership within the rules and regulations of the SEC, or hereinafter acquired (collectively, the “Parent Shares”), other than as provided herein or pursuant to any Permitted Transfer.  The foregoing restriction is expressly agreed to preclude the Stockholder and its controlled Affiliates from engaging in any hedging or other transaction which is designed to or which reasonably could be expected to lead to or result in a sale or disposition of shares of Parent Common Stock even if such shares of Parent Common Stock would be disposed of by someone other than the Stockholder.  Such prohibited hedging or other transactions would include without limitation any short sale or any purchase, sale or grant of any right (including without limitation any put or call option, swap or similar arrangement) with respect to any of the Stockholder or its controlled Affiliates’ shares of Parent Common Stock.

5.The Stockholder represents and warrants (a) that the Stockholder has duly executed and delivered this letter agreement and has all authority and full legal capacity to enter into this letter agreement; and (b) that, assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery of this letter agreement by Parent, this letter agreement is the Stockholder’s legal, valid and binding agreement and is enforceable against the Stockholder in accordance with its terms, except to the extent that enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and subject to the general principles of equity.

2

6.The Stockholder further represents and warrants that the execution and delivery of this letter agreement by the Stockholder does not, and the performance of his, her or its obligations under this letter agreement and the consummation of the transactions to be consummated by him, her or it as contemplated hereby will not, (a) conflict with or violate any Law applicable to the Stockholder or by which the Shares are bound or affected, (b) result in any breach of or violation of, or constitute a default (or an event that with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, or result in the creation of an encumbrance on any of the Shares pursuant to, any note, bond, mortgage, indenture, contract, agreement, lease, license, permit, franchise or other instrument or obligation to which the Stockholder is a party or by which the Stockholder or the Shares are bound or affected, or (c) require any consent, approval, authorization or permit of, or filing with or notification to, any court or arbitrator or any governmental entity, agency or official except for (i) applicable requirements, if any, of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and (ii) where the failure to obtain such consents, approvals, authorizations or permits, or to make such filings or notifications, would not prevent, impair, delay or adversely affect the performance by the Stockholder of his, her or its obligations under this letter agreement.

7.The Stockholder agrees that all representations, terms and conditions of this letter agreement will apply to shares of Company Common Stock of which the Stockholder acquires record or beneficial ownership (and the power to vote) after the date hereof and prior to the termination of this letter agreement, whether upon the exercise of options, warrants or rights, the conversion or exchange of convertible or exchangeable securities, or by means of purchase, dividend, distribution, split-up, recapitalization, combination, exchange of shares or the like, gift, bequest, inheritance, or as a successor in interest in any capacity or otherwise.

8.This letter agreement and all obligations of the parties hereunder shall automatically terminate, without the need for any further action by any person, upon the earliest to occur of (a) termination of the Merger Agreement in accordance with its terms, (b) the earlier of the twelve (12) month anniversary of the Effective Time and February 1, 2019 and (c) the entry without the express prior written consent of the Stockholder into any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of the Merger Agreement as in effect as of the date hereof that (i) reduces the amount, or modifies the form, of the Merger Consideration payable to any of the stockholders of the Company, or (ii) amends or modifies any of the closing conditions in a manner that would reasonably be expected to prevent or materially delay the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, including the Mergers; provided, however, that (x) this paragraph 8 and paragraphs 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 21, 23, 24 and 25 hereof shall survive any such termination and (y) such termination shall not relieve any party of any liability or damages resulting from any willful and intentional breach of this letter agreement occurring prior to such termination; provided, further, that upon termination of the Merger Agreement under circumstances where the Company Termination Fee is payable to Parent and such Company Termination Fee is paid in full, Parent shall be precluded from any remedy against the Stockholder and the Stockholder shall have no further Liability of any kind for any reason in connection with this letter agreement, the Merger Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, at law or in equity or otherwise, except in the case of fraud or a Willful Breach of this letter agreement, and Parent shall not seek to obtain any recovery, judgment, or damages of any

3

kind, including consequential, indirect, or punitive damages, against the Stockholder or its Affiliates or any of their respective directors, officers, employees, partners, managers, members, shareholders or Affiliates or their respective representatives in connection with this letter agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

9.The Stockholder is entering into this letter agreement solely in his, her or its capacity as a record or beneficial owner of the Shares and nothing herein is intended to or shall limit or affect any actions taken by the Stockholder, solely in his, her or its capacity as a director or officer of the Company (or a Subsidiary of the Company or as a trustee or fiduciary of any employee benefit plan or trust relating to the Company or its Subsidiaries).

10.The Stockholder hereby authorizes Parent and the Company to publish and disclose in any announcement or disclosure in connection with the Mergers the Stockholder’s identity and ownership of the Shares and the nature of the Stockholder’s obligations under this letter agreement.  The Company is an intended third-party beneficiary of this paragraph 10.

11.The Stockholder agrees that, prior to the termination of this letter agreement, the Stockholder shall not take any action that would make any representation or warranty of the Stockholder contained herein untrue or incorrect or have the effect of preventing, impairing, delaying or adversely affecting the performance by the Stockholder of his, her or its obligations under this letter agreement other than to a de minimis extent.  The Stockholder agrees, without further consideration, to execute and deliver such additional documents and to take such further actions as necessary or reasonably requested by Parent to confirm and assure the rights and obligations set forth in this letter agreement.

12.THIS LETTER AGREEMENT SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE MADE IN AND IN ALL RESPECTS SHALL BE INTERPRETED, CONSTRUED AND GOVERNED BY AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAW OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE WITHOUT REGARD TO THE CONFLICT OF LAW PRINCIPLES THEREOF.  The parties hereby irrevocably submit to the jurisdiction of the courts of the State of Delaware and the federal courts of the United States of America located in the State of Delaware solely in respect of the interpretation and enforcement of the provisions of this letter agreement and of the documents referred to in this letter agreement, and in respect of the transactions contemplated hereby, and hereby waive, and agree not to assert, as a defense in any action, suit or proceeding for the interpretation or enforcement hereof or of any such documents, that he, she or it is not subject thereto or that such action, suit or proceeding may not be brought or is not maintainable in said courts or that the venue thereof may not be appropriate or that this letter agreement or any such document may not be enforced in or by such courts, and the parties hereto irrevocably agree that all claims with respect to such action or proceeding shall be heard and determined in such a Delaware State or federal court.  The parties hereby consent to and grant any such court jurisdiction over the person of such parties and over the subject matter of such dispute and agree that mailing of process or other papers in connection with any such action or proceeding in the manner provided in paragraph 13 or in such other manner as may be permitted by Law shall be valid and sufficient service thereof.

13.The parties to this letter agreement acknowledge and agree that any controversy which may arise under this letter agreement and the other documents

Use of Non-GAAP (Adjusted) Financial Measures

The information provided in this press release includes the non-GAAP financial measures “Adjusted EBITDA” and “Adjusted EBITDA margin” of IXYS.

A reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measure is included in the appendix of this press release.

Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin provide useful information to investors regarding operational performance because they enhance an investor’s overall understanding of core financial performance and facilitate comparisons to historical results of operations, by excluding items that are not related directly to the underlying performance of fundamental business operations or were not part of business operations during a comparable period.  Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are commonly used by financial analysts and others in the industries in which the companies operate, and thus further provide useful information to investors. Management additionally uses these measures when assessing the performance of the business and for business planning purposes. Note that definitions of these non-GAAP financial measures differ from those terms as defined or used by IXYS Corporation and may differ from those terms as defined or used by other companies.
