CANCELLATION OF SHARES IN THE MERGER

(a) Merger Consideration.

(i) At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Parent, Holdco, Merger Sub, the Company, the Surviving Corporation or the holders of any shares of Company Capital Stock or the holders of any capital stock of Merger Sub, (A) each issued and outstanding share of Company Common Stock (other than Excluded Shares (as defined in Section 4.1(c)) shall, by virtue of the Merger, be converted into the right to receive under applicable Law and from Holdco, pursuant to Section 4.2, upon the surrender of the certificates evidencing the Company Common Stock (or evidence of shares in book entry form), (x) the Parent Stock Consideration, which Parent Stock Consideration shall, for purposes of the Laws of The Netherlands, be paid up by the holders of the shares of Company Common Stock as described in Section 4.1(a)(ii) below, and (y) the Cash Consideration (together, the “Merger Consideration”), without interest thereon, and such shares of Company Common Stock (or evidence of shares in book entry form) automatically shall be cancelled and

extinguished, in accordance with Section 4.2 and (B) each holder of shares of Company Capital Stock (other than holders of Excluded Shares) shall be entitled to receive from Parent the Dutch Compensation Amount (as defined in clause (v) below) to be set off against the obligation to pay up the Parent Ordinary Shares as described in Section 4.1(a)(ii). Parent shall cause Holdco to take all applicable actions required under this Section 4.1(a)(i).

(ii) By virtue of the Merger and without any further action on the part of the holders of the shares of Company Common Stock, each such holder shall be deemed to have subscribed hereunder for the Parent Ordinary Shares to be issued to such holder in accordance with this Article IV. In accordance with the Laws of The Netherlands, each such holder, as a result of such deemed subscription, shall be obligated to pay up such Parent Ordinary Shares in an amount, determined solely for the purpose of satisfying such obligation, equal to the Dutch Compensation Amount (as defined below) to which such holder is entitled by virtue of the Merger. Such obligation shall be satisfied by each such holder, upon exchange of certificates (or evidence of shares in book entry form) in accordance with Section 4.2, by set off against its right to receive the Dutch Compensation Amount. In no event shall such obligation reduce the amount of Merger Consideration to which such holder is entitled hereunder.

(iii) Holdco’s obligation to deliver the Merger Consideration to holders of shares of Company Common Stock in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Article IV, may be assigned, in whole or in part, to Parent or any of Parent’s Subsidiaries; provided, however, that no such assignment shall relieve Holdco of its obligations hereunder.

(iv) Notwithstanding the foregoing and subject to Section 7.1(c), if prior to the Effective Time the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock or Parent Ordinary Shares shall have been changed into a different number of shares or a different class, by reason of any stock dividend or distribution, subdivision, reclassification, recapitalization, stock split (including a reverse stock split), combination or exchange of shares or other similar transaction, and, in each such case, the record date for such transaction is between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time, then any number or amount contained herein that is based upon the number of shares of Company Common Stock or Parent Ordinary Shares, as the case may be, will be adjusted as appropriate to provide to the holders of Company Common Stock the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such event; provided, however, that (A) any stock repurchase by Parent, (B) the reverse stock split and any other actions associated with the Parent Synthetic Buyback or any similar transaction, shall not require or result in any adjustment hereunder. As provided in Section 4.4, the right of any holder of Company Common Stock to receive the Merger Consideration shall be subject to and reduced by the amount of any withholding under applicable Tax Law.

(v) Definitions. For purposes hereof, the following terms have the following respective meanings:

“Cash Consideration” means an amount per share of Company Common Stock in cash equal to US $20.00.

“Conversion Ratio” shall equal 1.1502.

“Dutch Compensation Amount” equals the Euro par value amount required to satisfy the pay up obligation resulting from the deemed subscription by each holder of Company Common Stock (other than holders of Excluded Shares) of the amount of whole Parent Ordinary Shares to be issued to such holder in accordance with this Article IV.

“Parent Stock Consideration” means an amount of Parent Ordinary Shares equal to the Conversion Ratio.

(b) No Fractional Shares. No fractional Parent Ordinary Shares shall be issued in the Merger. In lieu thereof, each holder of shares of Company Common Stock otherwise entitled to a fractional share of Parent Ordinary Shares shall be entitled to receive cash in an amount equal to the product obtained by multiplying (A) the average of the last reported sales prices of Parent Ordinary Shares, calculated to two (2) decimal places, as reported on NASDAQ, on each of the five (5) trading days ending on the third trading day immediately preceding the Closing Date (the “Parent Stock Price”) by (B) the fractional Parent Ordinary Shares to which such holder would otherwise be entitled. The Exchange Agent shall make available such amounts to such holders of Parent Ordinary Shares without interest, subject to and in accordance with Section 4.2.

(c) At the Effective Time, each share of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding and owned by Parent, Holdco, Merger Sub, Merger Sub 2 or any other wholly owned Subsidiary of Parent, or held in the treasury of the Company or owned by any wholly owned Subsidiary of the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time (collectively, the “Excluded Shares”) shall cease to be outstanding, and automatically shall be cancelled and retired without payment of any consideration therefor and shall cease to exist.

(d) At the Effective Time, each share of Merger Sub Capital Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into a share of capital stock of the Surviving Corporation (the “Surviving Corporation Capital Stock”).

(e) Dissenting Shares. Pursuant to NRS 92A.390, no dissenter’s rights or rights of appraisal will apply in connection with the Merger.

(f) Conversion of Surviving Corporation Common Stock. At the effective time of the Subsequent Merger, and without any action on the part of Parent, Holdco, the Surviving Corporation, Merger Sub 2 or any holder of shares or other equity interests thereof, each share of Surviving Corporation Capital Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into one limited liability company interest of the Surviving LLC and shall constitute the only limited liability company interests of the Surviving LLC. From

and after the effective time of the Subsequent Merger, all certificates representing shares of Surviving Corporation Capital Stock shall be deemed for all purposes to represent the number of limited liability company interests of the Surviving LLC into which they were converted in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence.

4.2 Exchange of Stock Certificates. Certificates (or evidence of shares in book entry form) for shares of Company Common Stock shall be exchanged for the Merger Consideration in accordance with the following procedures:

(a) Prior to the Closing, Parent shall appoint an agent reasonably acceptable to the Company to act as exchange agent under this Agreement (the “Exchange Agent”) and who shall serve pursuant to an agreement between Parent, Holdco and the Exchange Agent, the terms of and conditions of which are reasonably satisfactory to the Company (the “Exchange Agent Agreement”). Immediately prior to the Closing, Parent shall, or shall cause Holdco to, deliver to the Exchange Agent, in trust for the benefit of the holders of Company Common Stock an amount in cash equal to the Cash Consideration multiplied by the number of shares of Company Common Stock to be converted in the Merger plus any cash due in lieu of fractional shares pursuant to Section 4.1(b).

(b) As promptly as practicable after the Effective Time, but in no event later than five (5) Business Days following the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Exchange Agent to mail to each holder of record of Company Common Stock a form of letter of transmittal (the “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 to the Exchange Agent and shall be in such form and have such other provisions (including customary provisions with respect to delivery of an “agent’s message” with respect to shares held in book-entry form) as Parent may specify, subject to the Company’s reasonable approval, together with instructions thereto. Upon (i) in the case of shares of Company Common Stock represented by a certificate, the surrender of such certificate for cancellation to the Exchange Agent, or (ii) in the case of shares of Company Common Stock held in book-entry form, the receipt of an “agent’s message” by the Exchange Agent, in each case together with the Letter of Transmittal, duly, completely and validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto, and such other documents as may reasonably be required by the Exchange Agent, the holder of such shares shall be entitled to receive (and the Exchange Agent shall deliver) (A) certificates (or electronic equivalents) representing the number of Parent Ordinary Shares into which such shares of Company Common Stock shall have been converted in the Merger, and (B) a bank check for an amount equal to the Cash Consideration multiplied by the number of shares of Company Common Stock to be converted plus any cash due in lieu of fractional shares pursuant to Section 4.1(b).

(c) No dividends or other distributions with respect to securities of Parent constituting part of the Merger Consideration shall be paid to the holder of any certificates (or electronic equivalents) for Company Common Stock not surrendered until such certificates (or electronic equivalents) for Company Common Stock are surrendered or transferred, as the case may be, as provided in this Section 4.2 Subject to the effect of applicable Laws, following such surrender or transfer, there shall be paid, without interest, to the Person in whose name the Parent Ordinary Shares have been registered, (i) the amount of all dividends or other distributions, if any, with a record date on or after the Effective Time and previously paid or payable on the date

of such surrender with respect to such surrendered securities, and (ii) at the appropriate payment date, the amount of dividends or other distributions, if any, with a record date on or after the Effective Time and prior to surrender or transfer and with a payment date subsequent to surrender or transfer payable with respect to such securities.

(d) In no event shall the holder of any surrendered certificates (or evidence of shares in book entry form) be entitled to receive interest on any of the Cash Consideration to be received in the Merger.

(e) If any certificate (or electronic equivalents) for such Parent Ordinary Shares or check for the Cash Consideration is to be issued in the name of a Person other than the Person in whose name the certificates (or electronic equivalents) surrendered for exchange therefor are registered, it shall be a condition of the exchange that the certificates (or electronic equivalents) so surrendered shall be endorsed or shall otherwise be in proper form for transfer, and that the Person requesting such exchange shall pay to the Exchange Agent any transfer or other taxes required by reason of issuance of such check to a Person other than the registered holder of the certificates (or electronic equivalents) surrendered, or shall establish to the satisfaction of the Exchange Agent that such tax has been paid or is not applicable.

(f) If, for any reason (including losses), the Exchange Agent shall not have sufficient funds or Parent Ordinary Shares to pay the amounts to which holders of Company Common Stock are entitled under this Article IV, Parent and the Surviving Entity shall take all steps necessary to promptly deposit with the Exchange Agent additional cash and Parent Ordinary Shares sufficient to make all payments required under this Article IV. Any funds deposited with the Exchange Agent (including any interest received with respect thereto) that remains undistributed to the holders of Company Common Stock for twelve (12) months after the Effective Time shall be delivered to Parent, upon demand, and any holder of Company Common Stock who has not theretofore complied with this Article IV shall thereafter look only to Parent and the Surviving Entity for payment of its claim for Merger Consideration, any cash in lieu of fractional shares and any dividends and distributions to which such holder is entitled pursuant to this Article IV, in each case without any interest thereon.

(g) If any certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, then, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by the Exchange Agent, the posting by such Person of a bond, in such amount as Parent or the Exchange Agent may reasonably direct, as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such certificate, Parent shall direct the Exchange Agent to issue, in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, the Merger Consideration to be paid in respect of the shares of Company Common Stock represented by such certificate, as contemplated by this Article IV.

(h) None of the Company, Parent, Holdco, Merger Sub, the Surviving Entity or the Exchange Agent shall be liable to any Person in respect of any Parent Ordinary Shares (or dividends or distributions with respect thereto) or cash deposited with the Exchange Agent, in each case, properly delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law. Any Merger Consideration, any cash in lieu of fractional Parent Ordinary Shares and any dividends or distributions remaining unclaimed as of a date which is

immediately prior to such time as such amounts would otherwise escheat or become property of any Governmental Entity shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, become the property of the Surviving Entity free and clear of any claims or interests of any Person previously entitled thereto.

(i) The Exchange Agent shall invest any of the funds deposited with the Exchange Agent as directed by Parent; provided, that such investments shall be in obligations of or guaranteed by the United States of America in commercial paper obligations rated A-1 or P-1 or better by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. or Standard & Poor’s Corporation, respectively, in certificates of deposit, bank repurchase agreements or banker’s acceptances of commercial banks with capital exceeding $1 billion, or in money market funds having a rating in the highest investment category granted by a recognized credit rating agency at the time of acquisition or a combination of the foregoing and, in any such case, no such instrument shall have a maturity exceeding three months. Any interest and other income resulting from such investment shall become a part of the exchange fund, and any amounts in excess of the amounts payable under Section 4.1(a) shall be promptly returned to Parent. No investment of the funds shall relieve Parent, the Surviving Entity or the Exchange Agent from making the payments required by this Article IV, and following any net losses from any such investment, Parent shall promptly provide additional funds to the Exchange Agent for the benefit of the applicable holders of any shares of Company Common Stock immediately prior to the Effective Time in the amount of such net losses, which additional funds shall be deemed to be part of the funds. No investment of the funds shall have maturities that could prevent or delay payments to be made pursuant to this Agreement.

(j) Except for the right to surrender of the certificate(s) (or evidence of shares in book entry form) representing the Company Common Stock in exchange for the right to receive the Merger Consideration with respect to each share of Company Common Stock and any cash in lieu of fractional Parent Ordinary Shares, all shares of Company Common Stock shall no longer be outstanding and automatically shall be cancelled and shall cease to exist at the Effective Time and each holder of Company Common Stock shall cease to have any rights as a stockholder of the Company, and no transfer of Company Common Stock shall thereafter be made on the stock transfer books of the Surviving Corporation.

Each Parent Stock Option as so assumed and converted shall continue to have, and shall be subject to, the same terms and conditions as

applied to the Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time, except that each Parent Stock Option as so assumed and converted shall be for that number of whole Parent Ordinary Shares (rounded down to the nearest whole share) equal to the product of (i) the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to the related Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time and (ii) the Stock Award Exchange Ratio, at an exercise price per Parent Ordinary Share (rounded up to the nearest whole cent) equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the exercise price per share of Company Common Stock of such Company Option by (y) the Stock Award Exchange Ratio; provided, that the exercise price and the number of Parent Ordinary Share subject to the Parent Stock Option shall be determined in a manner consistent with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, and, in the case of Company Options that are intended to qualify as incentive stock options within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code, consistent with the requirements of Section 424 of the Code.

Each Parent RSU as so assumed and converted shall continue to have, and shall be subject to, the same terms and conditions as applied to the Company RSU immediately prior to the Effective Time, except that each Parent RSU as so assumed and converted shall be for that number Parent Ordinary Shares equal to the product of (i) the number of shares of Company Common Stock underlying the related Company RSU multiplied by (ii) the Stock Award Exchange Ratio.

(c) Immediately prior to the Closing, in the case of any outstanding purchase rights under the Company’s 1996 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, as amended (the “ESPP”), (i) the then-current purchase period under the ESPP shall end and each participant’s accumulated payroll deduction shall be used to purchase Company Common Stock in accordance with the terms of the ESPP, (ii) such Company Common Stock shall be treated the same as all other shares of Company Common Stock in accordance with Section 4.1(a) of this Agreement, and (iii) the ESPP shall terminate immediately after such purchases, and all rights under any provision of any other plan, program or arrangement of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company providing for the issuance or grant of any other interest in respect of the Company Common Stock shall be cancelled and of no further force or effect.

If the Exchange Agent, the Surviving Entity, Holdco, Parent or any of their respective agents, as the case may be, so withholds amounts, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of the shares of Company Common Stock, Company Options or Company RSUs in respect of which the Exchange Agent, the Surviving Entity, Parent or the agent, as the case may be, made such deduction and withholding. The Exchange Agent, the Surviving Entity, Parent or any of their respective agents, as the case may be, shall pay, or shall cause to be paid, all amounts so deducted or withheld to the appropriate Taxing Authority within the period required under applicable Law.

(d) Notwithstanding Section 7.3(a), but subject to Section 7.3(e), at any time prior to receipt of the Company Stockholder Approval, the Company Board may make a Board Recommendation Change (and, solely with respect to a Superior Acquisition Proposal, terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.4(ii)) in response to an Acquisition Proposal made after the date hereof that the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with, and taking into account the advice of, its outside financial advisors and outside legal counsel, constitutes a Superior Acquisition Proposal, provided, that such Acquisition Proposal did not result from a breach of this Section 7.3, and that the Company Board has determined in good faith, after consultation with, and taking into account the advice of, its outside legal counsel, that the failure to make such a Board Recommendation Change or terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.4(ii) would reasonably be expected to constitute a violation of its fiduciary duties.

(e) “Last Look”. Further, neither the Company Board nor a Committee shall make a Board Recommendation Change in response to an Acquisition Proposal as permitted by Section 7.3(d) or terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 9.4(ii), unless (i) the Company promptly notifies Parent, in writing at least four (4) Business Days before taking such action, of its intention to do so, attaching the most current version of any proposed agreement under which such Acquisition Proposal is proposed to be consummated and the identity of the Third Party making the Acquisition Proposal, and (ii) within four (4) Business Days after its receipt of such written notification, Parent has not made an offer that the Company Board determines, in good faith, after consultation with, and taking into account the advice of, its outside financial advisors and outside legal counsel, is at least as favorable to the stockholders of the Company as such Acquisition Proposal (it being understood and agreed that any amendment to the financial terms or other material terms of such Acquisition Proposal shall require a new written notification from the Company under clause (i) and a new period under clause (ii) of this Section 7.3(e)) which in any subsequent case shall be a two (2) Business Day period. Neither the Company Board nor a Committee shall make an Intervening Event Board Recommendation Change as permitted by Section 7.3(c) or terminate the Agreement pursuant to Section 9.4(iii),

unless (A) the Company promptly notifies Parent, in writing at least four (4) Business Days’ before taking such action, of its intention to do so, attaching a reasonably detailed explanation of the facts underlying the determination by the Company Board of its need to make a Intervening Event Board Recommendation Change and (B) within four (4) Business Days after its receipt of such written notification, Parent has not made an offer that the Company Board determines, in good faith, after consultation with, and taking into account the advice of, its outside financial advisors and outside legal counsel, would obviate the need for a Intervening Event Board Recommendation Change. During any such applicable period prior to its effecting a Board Recommendation Change or an Intervening Event Board Recommendation Change pursuant to and in compliance with this Section 7.3 or terminating this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.4(ii) or Section 9.4(iii), the Company and its representatives shall negotiate in good faith with Parent and its representatives regarding any revisions to the terms of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement proposed by Parent.

(f) Nothing contained in this Section 7.3 shall prevent the Company or the Company Board from (i) complying with any applicable securities Law, rule or regulation, including Rule 14d-9 and Rule l4e-2 promulgated under the Exchange Act, (ii) making any disclosure to its stockholders required by applicable Law, rule or regulation or by the rules and regulations of NASDAQ, or (iii) otherwise making such disclosure to the Company’s stockholders or otherwise that the Company Board or a Committee (after consultation with, and taking into account the advice of, its outside legal counsel) concludes in good faith would reasonably be expected to be necessary in order to comply with its fiduciary duties to the Company’s stockholders under applicable Law; provided, that any such action taken or statement or disclosure made that relates to an Acquisition Proposal shall be deemed to be a Board Recommendation Change unless the Company Board publicly reaffirms the Company Board Recommendation within three (3) Business Days following such statement or disclosure or in connection with such action (except that a mere “stop, look and listen” disclosure in compliance with Rule 14d-9(f) of the Exchange Act or other similar communication shall not constitute a Board Recommendation Change).

(g) For purposes of this Agreement, “Superior Acquisition Proposal” means any bona fide written Acquisition Proposal (with all references to “fifteen percent (15%)” in the definition thereof deemed to be “fifty percent (50%)” for purposes of this definition) not solicited or initiated in violation of this Section 7.3 that (i) the Company Board determines in its good faith judgment (after consultation with, and taking into account the advice of, its outside legal counsel and outside financial advisors) would, if consummated, result in a transaction that is more favorable to the Company’s stockholders from a financial point of view than the transactions contemplated hereby, including the Merger, after taking into account any other binding proposal made by Parent after Parent’s receipt of notice of an intention to make a Board Recommendation Change or terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.4(ii) and the time likely to be required to consummate such Acquisition Proposal and (ii) the Company Board determines in good faith (after consultation with, and taking into account the advice of, its outside financial advisors and its outside legal counsel) is reasonably capable of being consummated on the terms proposed, in each case taking into account all legal, financial, regulatory and other aspects of the proposal, and for which financing, if a cash transaction (whether in whole or in part), is then fully committed or reasonably determined to be available by the Company Board.

(a) The Company shall:

(i) (A) use reasonable best efforts to promptly prepare (with the assistance of Parent and its representatives) the Proxy Statement, (B) obtain and furnish the information required to be included by it in the Proxy Statement and the Registration Statement and, after consultation with Parent and Merger Sub, respond promptly to any comments made by the SEC with respect to the Proxy Statement and any preliminary version thereof, and (C) undertake and use its reasonable best efforts to obtain the Company Stockholder Approval (unless, with respect to this clause (C), prior to such time the Company Board has made a Board Recommendation Change or Intervening Event Board Recommendation Change in accordance with Section 7.3(c) or Section 7.3(d));

(ii) include (unless prior to such time the Company Board has made a Board Recommendation Change or Intervening Event Board Recommendation Change in accordance with Section 7.3(c) or Section 7.3(d)) in the Proxy Statement the Company Board Recommendation and shall not, except in accordance with Section 7.3(c) or Section 7.3(d), make a Board Recommendation Change or an Intervening Event Board Recommendation Change;

(iii) mail the Proxy Statement to the Company’s stockholders as promptly as practicable after the Registration Statement is declared effective by the SEC; provided, however, that without Parent’s prior written consent, in no event shall the Company mail the Proxy Statement to the Company’s stockholders prior to the earlier of (A) one (1) Business Day after the date on which the closing of the Parent Synthetic Buyback occurs and (B) January 1, 2013; and

(iv) duly call, give notice of, convene and hold the Stockholders Meeting, to be held as soon as reasonably practicable after the filing of the Registration Statement, in which the Proxy Statement shall be included, with the SEC and the completion of the SEC’s review of the Proxy Statement, and the Company shall not adjourn or postpone the Stockholders Meeting if there are sufficient shares of Company Common Stock represented (either in person or by proxy) to constitute a quorum necessary to conduct the business of the Stockholders Meeting and the Company believes such shares will be voted in a number sufficient to approve and adopt this Agreement and the Merger; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Company may adjourn or postpone the Stockholders Meeting to the earliest practicable date but no later than ten (10) Business Days from such adjournment or postponement in order to permit the dissemination of any supplement or amendment to the Proxy Statement or other disclosure to the Company’s stockholders if after consultation with, and taking into account the advice of, its outside legal counsel, the Company Board or a Committee determines in good faith that the failure to make such disclosure would reasonably be expected to violate applicable Law, including their fiduciary duties.

(b) Parent and Merger Sub shall, and shall each cause their respective representatives to, fully cooperate with the Company in the preparation of the Proxy Statement, and shall, upon request, furnish the Company with all information concerning it and its Affiliates as the Company may deem reasonably necessary or advisable in connection with the preparation of the Proxy Statement.

(c) Parent shall use reasonable best efforts to promptly prepare (with the assistance of the Company and its representatives) and file with the SEC, the Registration Statement, in which the Proxy Statement shall be included, and, after consultation with the Company, respond promptly to any comments made by the SEC with respect to the Registration Statement. Parent shall inform Euronext of the Closing and provide a copy of the Registration Statement to Euronext at least two (2) days prior to Closing.

(f) Except as may be required by Law, no amendment or supplement to the Proxy Statement or the Registration Statement will be made by Parent or the Company without the approval of the other party, which will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Parent and the Company each will advise the other, promptly after it receives notice thereof, of the time when the Registration Statement has become effective or any supplement or amendment has been filed, the issuance of any stop order, the suspension of the qualification of the Parent Ordinary Shares issuable in connection with the Merger for offering or sale in any jurisdiction, any request by the SEC for amendment of the Proxy Statement or the Registration Statement or comments thereon or requests for additional information by the SEC.

(a) Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, each of the parties hereto shall (i) prepare and make its respective filings, and thereafter make any other required submissions, under the HSR Act and the Foreign Merger Control Laws with respect to the Merger and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement as promptly as reasonably possible, (ii) use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all appropriate action,

(b) To the extent not prohibited by applicable Law, each party shall use its reasonable best efforts to furnish to the other parties all information required for any application, notification or other filing to be made pursuant to any applicable Laws in connection with the Merger and the transactions contemplated hereby. Parent and the Company shall give each other reasonable prior notice of any communication with, and any proposed understanding, undertaking or agreement with, any Governmental Entity regarding any such applications, notifications or filings or any such transaction. The parties hereto agree that both Parent and Company shall be represented at all in-person meetings and in all substantive conversations with any Governmental Entity regarding the matters set forth in this Section 7.5, except (i) if, and to the extent that, any Governmental Entity objects to any party’s being represented at any such meeting or in any such conversation and (ii) to the extent that the communication or meeting relates to a national security risk mitigation agreement between Parent and CFIUS or any of its constituent agencies. The parties hereto will consult and cooperate with one another in connection with any analyses, appearances, presentations, memoranda, briefs, arguments, opinions and proposals made or submitted by or on behalf of any party hereto in connection with proceedings under or relating to the HSR Act, the Foreign Merger Control Laws, any other applicable foreign Competition Laws and Exon-Florio. Unless Parent and the Company agree otherwise, Parent shall take the lead in coordinating any applications, notifications or filings, obtaining any necessary approvals, and resolving any investigation or other inquiry of any such agency or other Governmental Entity under the HSR Act, the Foreign Merger Control Laws, any other applicable foreign Competition Laws and Exon-Florio.

(c) Each of the parties hereto agrees to cooperate and use its reasonable best efforts to vigorously contest and resist any action or proceeding, including administrative or judicial action or proceeding, and to have vacated, lifted, reversed or overturned any decree, judgment, injunction or other order (whether temporary, preliminary or permanent) that is in effect and that restricts, prevents or prohibits consummation of the Merger and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including reasonably pursuing administrative and judicial appeal.

(d) In furtherance of, and not in limitation of, the foregoing, but upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts

to take, or cause to be taken, all such further actions as may be necessary to resolve such objections, if any, as the United States Federal Trade Commission, the Antitrust Division of the United States Department of Justice or competition authorities of any other nation or other jurisdiction or any other Person may assert under any Competition Laws with respect to the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby, and to avoid or eliminate each and every impediment under any Competition Laws that may be asserted by any Governmental Entity or any other Person with respect to the Merger so as to enable the Closing to occur as promptly as reasonably practicable and in any event no later than the Termination Date (as such date may be extended pursuant to Section 9.2); provided, however, that nothing in this Section 7.5 or this Agreement shall require or be deemed to require Parent or any of its Subsidiaries to agree to or take any action that would or would reasonably be expected to result in or be any Burdensome Condition in order to satisfy the conditions set forth in Sections 8.1(b), 8.1(c)(i) or (ii). For purposes of this Agreement, a “Burdensome Condition” shall mean executing or carrying out agreements (including consent decrees) or submitting to Orders (i) providing for the license, sale, divestiture or other disposition or holding separate (through the establishment of trust or otherwise) of any assets or categories of assets of the Company, Parent or their respective Subsidiaries or the holding separate of the capital stock or limited liability company interests of a Parent Subsidiary (including the Surviving Entity after the Effective Time), or (ii) imposing or seeking to impose any (x) limitation on the freedom of action of the Company, Parent or any of their respective Subsidiaries with respect to or the ability of the Company, Parent or any of their respective Subsidiaries to conduct their respective businesses (including, with respect to, market practices, sales and structure) or own such assets or to acquire, hold or exercise full rights of ownership of the business of Parent or (y) requirement on how or where the Company, Parent or any of their respective Subsidiaries conduct their respective businesses (including, with respect to, market practices, sales and structure) that, in the case of (i) or (ii), individually or in the aggregate, would or would reasonably be expected to result in (A) the license, sale, divestiture or other disposition of any assets of the Company, Parent or the Surviving Entity or their Subsidiaries (other than assets acquired or licensed by Parent or its Subsidiaries from a third party (other than the Company or its Subsidiaries) on or after September 30, 2012 (collectively, “Divestiture Assets”)), (B) a Company Material Adverse Effect or a Parent Material Adverse Effect, or (C) a material adverse effect on the benefits that Parent reasonably expects to be realized or derived from the transactions contemplated hereby; provided, however, that the effect of any license, sale, divestiture or other disposition of any Divestiture Assets shall not be taken into account in determining whether the result described in clause (B) or (C) has occurred. If requested by Parent, the Company will agree to any action contemplated by this Section 7.5(d), provided that such agreement or action is conditioned on the consummation of the Merger.

(e) In furtherance of, and not in limitation of, the foregoing, but upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, each of the Company and Parent shall seek to obtain CFIUS Approval, provided, however, that nothing in this Section 7.5 will require or be deemed to require Parent or any of its Subsidiaries to agree to any terms or conditions, or take any actions, in order to obtain CFIUS Approval that (i) would require the license, sale, divestiture or other disposition of any assets of the Company, Parent or the Surviving Entity or their Subsidiaries, other than Divestiture Assets, (ii) relate to Parent’s or its Subsidiaries’ assets, businesses or operations (other than the Surviving Entity’s and its Subsidiaries’ assets, businesses and operations after the Effective Time or Divestiture Assets), or (iii) would or would reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect, a Parent Material Adverse

Effect, or a material adverse effect on the benefits that Parent reasonably expects to be realized or derived from the transactions contemplated hereby; provided, that the effect of a license, sale, divestiture or other disposition of any Divestiture Assets shall not be taken into account in determining whether the result described in clause (iii) has occurred.

7.6 NASDAQ Listing and Delisting. Prior to Effective Time, Parent shall prepare and submit to NASDAQ a listing application, if required under NASDAQ rules, covering the Parent Ordinary Shares issuable in the Merger, and shall use best efforts to obtain approval for the listing of such Parent Ordinary Shares, subject to official notice of issuance, and the Company shall reasonably cooperate with Parent with respect to such listing. Each of the parties hereto agrees to cooperate with each other in taking, or causing to be taken, all actions necessary to delist the Company Common Stock from NASDAQ and to terminate registration under the Exchange Act; provided, that such delisting and termination shall not be effective until after the Effective Time of the Merger.

7.7 Access to Information.

(a) Subject to applicable Laws relating to the exchange of information, upon reasonable notice, the Company shall (and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to) afford to officers, employees, counsel, accountants and other authorized representatives of Parent (“Parent Representatives”), reasonable access, during normal business hours and upon reasonable advance notice throughout the period prior to the Effective Time, to its officers, employees, accountants, consultants, representatives, plants, properties, contracts, commitments, books and records and, during such period, shall (and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to) furnish or make available reasonably promptly to such Parent Representatives all information concerning its business, properties and personnel as may reasonably be requested (including financial and operating data, customer billing and other data files for the purpose of system integration and testing as well as compensation and payroll data files for the purpose of payroll system integration and testing with respect to employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries); provided, however, that any such access shall be conducted under the supervision of personnel of the Company and in a manner that does not interfere in any material respect with the normal operations of the Company.

(b) Parent agrees that it shall not, and shall cause the Parent Representatives not to, use any information obtained pursuant to this Section 7.7 for any purpose unrelated to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, nothing in this Section 7.7 shall require the Company to disclose any information that, in its sole and reasonable judgment, (i) it is not legally permitted to disclose or the disclosure of which would contravene any applicable Law or binding Order, (ii) the disclosure of which would jeopardize any attorney-client or other legal privilege or (iii) the disclosure of which would conflict with, violate or cause a default under any existing contract or agreement to which it is a party; provided, however, that to the extent that the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is restricted in or prohibited from providing any such access to any documents or data pursuant to any such contract or agreement for the benefit of any third party, each of the Company and any such Subsidiary shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any approval, consent or waiver with respect to such contract or agreement that is necessary to provide such access to such officer, employee or agent.

Notwithstanding clause (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence, if any of the information or material furnished pursuant to this Section 7.7 includes materials or information subject to the attorney-client privilege, work product doctrine or any other applicable privilege concerning pending or threatened legal proceedings or governmental investigations, each party understands and agrees that the parties have a commonality of interest with respect to such matters and it is the desire, intention and mutual understanding of the parties that the sharing of such material or information is not intended to, and shall not, waive or diminish in any way the confidentiality of such material or information or its continued protection under the attorney-client privilege, work product doctrine or other applicable privilege. All such information provided by the Company that is entitled to protection under the attorney-client privilege, work product doctrine or other applicable privilege shall remain entitled to such protection under these privileges, this Agreement, and under the joint defense doctrine.

(d) No information received pursuant to an investigation made under this Section 7.7 shall be deemed to (i) qualify, modify, amend or otherwise affect any representations, warranties, covenants or other agreements of the Company set forth in this Agreement or any certificate or other instrument delivered to Parent and Merger Sub in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) amend or otherwise supplement the information set forth in the Company Disclosure Letter, (iii) limit or restrict the remedies available to the parties under applicable Law arising out of a breach of this Agreement, or (iv) limit or restrict the ability of either party to invoke or rely on the conditions to the obligations of the parties to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement set forth in Article VIII hereof.

7.9 Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

(a) For a period of six (6) years from the Effective Time, the limited liability company agreement of the Surviving LLC shall contain equivalent provisions with respect to exculpation, indemnification and advancement of expenses than are set forth in the Company Articles and Company Bylaws on the date hereof, which provisions shall not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified for a period of six (6) years from the Effective Time in any manner that would affect adversely the rights thereunder of individuals who, at or prior to the Effective Time, were directors, officers or employees of the Company or any Subsidiary, unless such modification shall be required by applicable Law and then only to the minimum extent required by applicable Law.

(b) After the Effective Time, the Surviving Entity and Parent shall, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law, indemnify and hold harmless, each present and former director, officer and employee of the Company and each Subsidiary (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”) against all costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages, liabilities and settlement amounts paid in connection with any claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation (whether arising before or after the Effective Time), in each case, to the extent they were indemnified under the Company Articles, Company Bylaws and indemnification contracts in effect as of the date hereof, arising out of or pertaining to any action or omission in their capacity as an officer, director or employee, at or prior to the Effective Time, for a period of six (6) years after the date hereof.

(c) Prior to the Closing, the Company shall and, if the Company is unable to, Parent shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to have the Surviving Entity as of the Effective Time, obtain and fully pay for a single premium “tail” policy, with a claims period of six (6) years from the Effective Time, on the current directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies maintained by the Company covering acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Effective Time with respect to those persons who are currently (and any additional persons who prior to the Effective Time become) covered by the Company’s directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy on terms and scope with respect to such coverage, and in amount, not less favorable to such individuals than those of such policy in effect on the date hereof. If the Company and the Surviving Entity for any reason fail to obtain such “tail” policy as of the Effective Time, then the Surviving Entity shall maintain for six (6) years from the Effective Time such current directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies maintained by the Company (provided, that the Surviving Entity may substitute therefor policies, issued by an insurer carrier with the same or better credit rating as the Company’s current insurance carrier, of at least the same coverage with respect to matters occurring prior to the Effective Time containing terms and conditions that are not less favorable in the aggregate, including a “tail” policy); provided, however, that in no event shall the Surviving Entity be required to expend pursuant to this Section 7.9(c) more than an amount per year of coverage equal to 300% of current annual premiums paid by the Company for such insurance as of the date hereof; provided, further, that in the event of an expiration, termination or cancellation of such current policies, Parent or the Surviving Entity shall be required to obtain as much coverage as is possible under substantially similar policies for such maximum annual amount in aggregate annual premiums. If any “tail” policy described above is put in place, then from and after the

effectiveness of such “tail” policy, neither Parent, nor any of its Subsidiaries, shall have any further obligations under this Section 7.9(c).

(d) In the event the Surviving Entity or any of its successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger, or (ii) transfers all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of the Surviving Entity, or at Parent’s option, Parent, shall assume the obligations set forth in this Section 7.9.

(e) Parent shall cause the Surviving Entity to perform all of the obligations of the Surviving Entity under this Section 7.9.

(f) Each of the Indemnified Parties is an intended third party beneficiary of this Section 7.9.

7.10 Employee Matters.

(a) Parent shall, for a period of twelve (12) months following the Closing (the “Continuation Period”), provide to employees of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries as of the Closing as a group, other than (i) those represented by a works council and (ii) those whose name is set forth on Section 7.10(a) of the Company Disclosure Letter (the employees whose names are so set forth, the “Change in Control Employees”), and who continue employment with the Surviving Corporation or any of its Affiliates (“Continuing Employees”) (i) base compensation and incentive compensation opportunities which are no less favorable, on an aggregate basis, to the base compensation and incentive compensation (including equity incentive compensation) opportunities provided by the Company and its Subsidiaries prior to the Closing and (ii) pension and welfare benefits that are no less favorable in the aggregate to the pension and welfare benefits provided as of the Closing pursuant to the Employee Benefit Plans set forth on Section 5.10(a) of the Company Disclosure Letter. Parent intends, for the Continuation Period, to provide to the Change in Control Employees (i) base compensation and incentive compensation opportunities which are not materially less favorable, on an aggregate basis, than the base compensation and incentive compensation (including equity compensation) opportunities provided by the Company and its Subsidiaries prior to the Closing and (ii) pension and welfare benefits that are not materially less favorable in the aggregate to the pension and welfare benefits provided as of the Closing pursuant to the Employee Benefit Plans set forth on Section 5.10(a) of the Company Disclosure Letter. The terms and conditions of employment for the employees of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries as of the Closing, who are represented by a works council and who continue with the Surviving Entity or any of its Affiliates (“Union Continuing Employees”), shall be governed by the applicable collective bargaining or works council agreements.

(b) Parent shall, or shall cause its Subsidiaries, to provide to any Continuing Employee who is laid-off or terminated without cause during the Continuation Period with severance benefits in an amount that is equal to the severance benefits (including severance payments and continued health coverage) that the employee would have been entitled to pursuant to the terms of the Reduction in Force Separation Benefits Plan.

(c) With respect to any “employee benefit plan,” as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA, maintained by Parent or any of its Subsidiaries, including the Surviving Entity, in which any Continuing Employee, Union Continuing Employee or Change in Control Employee becomes a participant, Parent shall and shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause its third party insurers to provide that the Continuing Employees, Union Continuing Employees or Change in Control Employees shall receive full credit for service with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for purposes of eligibility to participate, vesting and determination of benefits under severance and vacation pay plans, to the same extent that such service was recognized as of the Closing Date under a comparable Employee Benefit Plan in which the Continuing Employee or Union Continuing Employee participated (but not for purposes of benefit accrual and not to the extent such credit would result in a duplication of benefits).

(d) Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts to (and shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause its third party insurers to) (i) waive, or cause to be waived, any pre-existing condition limitations, exclusions, actively-at-work requirements and waiting periods under any welfare benefit plan maintained by Parent or any of its Subsidiaries in which the Continuing Employees, Union Continuing Employees or Change in Control Employees (and their eligible dependents) are eligible to participate from and after the Closing Date to the extent that such pre-existing condition limitations, exclusions, actively-at-work requirements and waiting periods were satisfied or waived under the comparable Employee Benefit Plan in which the Continuing Employees, Union Continuing Employees or Change in Control Employees participated and (ii) cause any health benefit plan of Parent or its Subsidiaries in which the Continuing Employees, Union Continuing Employees or Change in Control Employees participate after the Closing Date to recognize the dollar amount of all co-payments, deductibles and similar expenses incurred by such Continuing Employee, Union Continuing Employee or Change in Control Employee (and his or her eligible dependents) during the calendar year in which the Closing Date occurs for purposes of satisfying deductible and co-payment limitations for such year under the relevant welfare benefit plans in which such Continuing Employee, Union Continuing Employee or Change in Control Employee (and dependents) participates following the Closing Date.
