ARTICLE II

CONVERSION OF SHARES; EXCHANGE OF CERTIFICATES

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

(a) Conversion of Common Stock. Unless otherwise agreed to in writing prior to the Effective Time by Parent and a holder of shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (such shares, collectively, the “Common Stock,” and each, a “Share”), each Share other than Shares to be cancelled or converted pursuant to Section 2.1(b) and other than Dissenting Shares, shall be converted automatically into the right to receive $32.00 in cash (the “Merger Consideration”), without interest. All Shares that have been converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration as provided in this Section 2.1 shall be automatically cancelled upon the conversion thereof and shall cease to exist, and the holders of certificates that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented such Shares shall cease to have any rights with respect to such Shares other than the right to receive the Merger Consideration (less any applicable withholding Taxes), without interest.

(b) Parent and Merger Sub-Owned Shares. Each Share that is owned directly by the Company, Parent or Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time (the “Cancelled Shares”) shall be cancelled and shall cease to exist, and no consideration shall be delivered in exchange for such cancellation.

(c) Conversion 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 validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Surviving Corporation and shall constitute the only outstanding shares of capital stock of the Surviving Corporation. From and after the Effective Time, all certificates representing the common stock of Merger Sub shall be deemed for all purposes to represent the number of shares of common stock of the Surviving Corporation into which they were converted in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence.

-3-

(d) Dissenters’ Rights. Any provision of this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, if required by the DGCL (but only to the extent required thereby), Shares that are issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than the Cancelled Shares) and that are held by holders of such Shares who have not voted in favor of the adoption of this Agreement or consented thereto in writing and who have properly exercised appraisal rights with respect thereto in accordance with, and who have complied with, Section 262 of the DGCL (the “Dissenting Shares”) will not be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration, and holders of such Dissenting Shares will be entitled to receive payment of the fair value of such Dissenting Shares in accordance with the provisions of such Section 262 unless and until any such holder fails to perfect or effectively withdraws or loses its rights to appraisal and payment under the DGCL. If, after the Effective Time, any such holder fails to perfect or effectively withdraws or loses such right, such Dissenting Shares will thereupon be deemed to have been converted into, at the Effective Time, the right to receive the Merger Consideration, without any interest thereon, and the Surviving Corporation shall remain liable for payment of the Merger Consideration for such Shares. At the Effective Time, any holder of Dissenting Shares shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the rights provided in Section 262 of the DGCL and as provided in the previous sentence. The Company will give Parent (i) prompt notice of any demands received by the Company for appraisals of Shares and (ii) the opportunity to participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such notices and demands. The Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of Parent, make any payment with respect to any demands for appraisal or settle any such demands.

Section 2.2 Exchange of Certificates.

(a) Paying Agent. Prior to or at the Effective Time, Parent shall deposit, or shall cause to be deposited, with a U.S. bank or trust company that shall be appointed by Parent (and reasonably satisfactory to the Company) to act as a paying agent hereunder (the “Paying Agent”), in trust for the benefit of holders of the Shares, cash in U.S. dollars sufficient to pay the aggregate Merger Consideration in exchange for all of the Shares outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than the Cancelled Shares), payable upon due surrender of the certificates that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented Shares (“Certificates”) (or effective affidavits of loss in lieu thereof) or non-certificated Shares represented by book-entry (“Book-Entry Shares”) pursuant to the provisions of this Article II (such cash being hereinafter referred to as the “Exchange Fund”).

(b) Payment Procedures.

(i) As soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time and in any event not later than the second Business Day following the Closing Date, the Surviving Corporation shall instruct the Paying Agent to mail to each holder of record of Shares whose Shares were converted into the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.1, (A) a letter of transmittal

-4-

(which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of Certificates (or effective affidavits of loss in lieu thereof) or Book-Entry Shares to the Paying Agent and shall be in such form and have such other provisions as Parent and the Company may mutually agree), and (B) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of Certificates (or effective affidavits of loss in lieu thereof) or Book-Entry Shares in exchange for the Merger Consideration.

(ii) Upon surrender of Certificates (or effective affidavits of loss in lieu thereof) or Book-Entry Shares to the Paying Agent together with such 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 Paying Agent, the holder of such Certificates (or effective affidavits of loss in lieu thereof) or Book-Entry Shares shall be entitled to receive from the Exchange Fund in exchange therefor an amount in cash equal to the product of (x) the number of Shares represented by such holder’s properly surrendered Certificates (or effective affidavits of loss in lieu thereof) or Book-Entry Shares and (y) the Merger Consideration (less any applicable withholding Taxes). No interest will be paid or accrued on any amount payable upon due surrender of Certificates (or effective affidavits of loss in lieu thereof) or Book-Entry Shares. In the event of a transfer of ownership of Shares that is not registered in the transfer records of the Company, payment upon due surrender of the Certificate may be paid to such a transferee if the Certificate formerly representing such Shares is presented to the Paying Agent, accompanied by all documents required to evidence and effect such transfer and to evidence that any applicable stock transfer Taxes have been paid or are not applicable. The Merger Consideration, paid in full with respect to any Share in accordance with the terms hereof, shall be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such Share.

(iii) The Paying Agent, the Company and its Subsidiaries, Parent and Merger Sub, as applicable, shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any amounts otherwise payable under this Agreement such amounts as are required to be withheld or deducted under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and the regulations promulgated thereunder, or any provision of state, local or foreign Tax Law with respect to the making of such payment. To the extent that amounts are so deducted or withheld, such deducted or withheld amounts (i) shall be remitted by the applicable entity to the appropriate Governmental Entity and (ii) shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction or withholding was made.

(c) Closing of Transfer Books. At the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed, and there shall be no further registration of transfers on the stock transfer books of the Surviving Corporation of the Shares that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates are presented to the Surviving Corporation or Parent for transfer, the holder of Certificates shall be given a copy of the letter of transmittal referred to in Section 2.2(b) and instructed to comply with the instructions in that letter of transmittal in order to receive the cash to which such holder is entitled pursuant to this Article II.

(d) Termination of Exchange Fund. Any portion of the Exchange Fund (including the proceeds of any investments thereof) that remains undistributed to the former holders of Shares for one year after the Effective Time shall be delivered to the Surviving

-5-

Corporation upon demand, and any former holders of Shares who have not surrendered their Shares in accordance with this Section 2.2 shall thereafter look only to the Surviving Corporation for payment of their claim for the Merger Consideration, without any interest thereon, upon due surrender of their Shares.

(e) No Liability. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the Company, Parent, Merger Sub, the Surviving Corporation, the Paying Agent or any other Person shall be liable to any former holder of Shares for any amount properly delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law.

(f) Investment of Exchange Fund. The Paying Agent shall invest all cash included in the Exchange Fund as reasonably directed by Parent; provided, however, that any investment of such cash shall be limited to direct short-term obligations of, or short-term obligations fully guaranteed as to principal and interest by, the U.S. government. Any interest and other income resulting from such investments shall be paid to the Surviving Corporation pursuant to Section 2.2(d).

(g) Lost Certificates. In the case of any Certificate that has been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by the Paying Agent or Parent, the posting by such Person of a bond in customary amount as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, the Paying Agent will issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate a check in the amount of the number of Shares represented by such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate multiplied by the Merger Consideration, without any interest thereon.

Section 2.3 Treatment of Company Options and Company RSU Awards.

(a) Unless otherwise agreed to in writing prior to the Effective Time by Parent and a holder of a Company Option, each Company Option, whether vested or unvested, that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, as of the Effective Time, become fully vested and be converted into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to the product of (i) the excess, if any, of the Merger Consideration over the exercise price per Share of such Company Option multiplied by (ii) the total number of Shares subject to such Company Option. Unless otherwise agreed to in writing prior to the Effective Time by Parent and a holder of a Company Option, the Surviving Corporation or one of its Subsidiaries, as applicable, shall pay to each holder of Company Options the cash amounts described in the immediately preceding sentence (through the Company’s payroll system or through the Company’s equity award administrator), less such amounts as are required to be withheld or deducted under the Code or any provision of state, local or foreign Tax Law with respect to the making of such payment (the “Option Consideration”), within five calendar days following the Effective Time. Unless otherwise agreed to in writing prior to the Effective Time by Parent and a holder of a Company Option, from and after the Effective Time, there shall be no outstanding Company Options, and the former holders thereof shall be entitled only to the payment of the Option Consideration.

-6-

(b) Unless otherwise agreed to in writing prior to the Effective Time by Parent and a holder of a Company RSU Award, each Company RSU Award, whether vested or unvested, that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall, as of the Effective Time, become fully vested (without regard to the satisfaction of any performance condition) and be converted into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to the product of (i) the total number of Shares subject to such Company RSU Award multiplied by (ii) the Merger Consideration. Unless otherwise agreed to in writing prior to the Effective Time by Parent and a holder of a Company RSU Award, the Surviving Corporation or one of its Subsidiaries, as applicable, shall pay to each holder of Company RSU Awards the cash amounts described in the immediately preceding sentence (through the Company’s payroll system or through the Company’s equity award administrator), less such amounts as are required to be withheld or deducted under the Code or any provision of state, local or foreign Tax Law with respect to the making of such payment, within five calendar days following the Effective Time.

(c) Prior to the Effective Time, the Company will adopt such resolutions, provide optionees with notice of their opportunity to exercise their Company Options if such notice is required by the applicable plan or award agreement and take all other such actions as may reasonably be necessary in its discretion to effectuate the treatment of the Company Options and the Company RSU Awards as contemplated by this Section 2.3. The parties agree to the additional matters set forth in Section 2.3(c) of the Company Disclosure Letter.

(d) Neither Parent nor any of its Affiliates shall enter into or engage in substantive discussions with any Company employee regarding the rollover of a Company Option, Company RSU Award or Shares without the consent of a majority of the Company Board or its Compensation Committee, excluding the Chief Executive Officer of the Company and any member of the Company Board who is an Affiliate of a party to a Rollover Contribution Agreement, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld. Parent agrees that neither Parent nor any of its Affiliates will (i) amend or modify (including waiving any provision thereunder) any Rollover Contribution Agreement with any Rollover Investor or (ii) enter into, amend or modify (including waiving any provision thereunder) any agreement with a holder of a Company Option, a Company RSU Award or Shares regarding the treatment in the Merger of any Company Option, Company RSU Award or Shares, in the case of each of clauses (i) and (ii), without the prior approval of a majority of the Company Board, or its Compensation Committee (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld), excluding from any such approval the Chief Executive Officer of the Company and any member of the Company Board who is an Affiliate of a party to a Rollover Contribution Agreement; provided that, in the case of clause (ii), if the terms of such agreement are substantially identical to the terms of the Rollover Contribution Agreement by and between the Chief Executive Officer and Parent or the Rollover Contribution Agreement by and between the Chief Financial Officer and Parent, no such approval shall be required prior to the entry into such agreement.

Section 3.1 Qualification, Organization, Subsidiaries, etc.

(a) Each of the Company and its Subsidiaries is a legal entity duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the Laws of its respective jurisdiction of organization and has all requisite corporate or similar power and authority to own, lease and operate its properties and assets and to carry on its business as presently conducted and is qualified to do business and is in good standing as a foreign corporation in each jurisdiction where the ownership, leasing or operation of its assets or properties or conduct of its business requires such qualification, except where the failure to be so qualified or in good standing, or to have such power or authority, would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Company Material Adverse Effect. As used in this Agreement, any reference to any facts, circumstances, events or changes having a “Company Material Adverse Effect” means any fact, event, development, condition, matter, state of facts, circumstance, change, occurrence or effect that (a) would, or would reasonably be expected to, prevent or materially delay the consummation of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby; or (b) has, or would reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition, properties, assets or results of operations of the Company and its

-8-

The Company has made available to Parent true, complete and correct copies of the certificate of incorporation and by-laws (or similar organizational documents) of the Company and each of its Subsidiaries.

(b) Section 3.1(b) of the Company Disclosure Letter sets forth a true and complete list of each Subsidiary of the Company, each such Subsidiary’s jurisdiction of incorporation and its authorized, issued and outstanding shares of capital stock, if any, that are not owned by the Company or a Subsidiary. All of the outstanding equity interests of each Subsidiary of the Company are duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, and are owned by the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company, free and clear of all Liens other than Permitted Liens and other than Liens securing the Credit Facility. Other than as set forth in Section 3.1(b) of the Company Disclosure Letter, the Company or its Subsidiaries do not, directly or indirectly (x), own, of record or beneficially, or (y) have the right to acquire, in each case, any stock, partnership interest or joint venture interest or other equity ownership interest in any other Person.

-36-

material terms and conditions of such proposal, if any. Following the date hereof, the Company shall keep Parent informed on a current basis (and in any event within 24 hours) of any material developments, discussions or negotiations regarding any Alternative Proposals (whether made before or after the date hereof) or any material change to the financial or other terms of any such Alternative Proposal.

(ii) in response to an Alternative Proposal, the Board of Directors may effect a Change of Recommendation but only if prior to taking any such action:

(1) the Board of Directors determines in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisers and outside legal counsel, that such Alternative Proposal is a Superior Proposal (taking into account any adjustment or revisions proposed by Parent in response to such Alternative Proposal (including pursuant to clause (3) below));

-37-

(2) the Company has given Parent at least four (4) Business Days’ prior written notice of its intention to effect a Change of Recommendation (the “Negotiation Period”) and has contemporaneously provided to Parent a copy of such Superior Proposal and each of the relevant proposed transaction agreements to be entered into by the Company with the third party making such Superior Proposal;

(3) during the Negotiation Period, the Company has negotiated in good faith with Parent to the extent Parent wishes to negotiate, to enable Parent to revise the terms and conditions of this Agreement and/or the terms of the Financing, and either (x) prior to the expiration of the Negotiation Period, Parent shall not have proposed revisions to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, or (y) if Parent within such period shall have proposed revisions to the terms of this Agreement, the Board of Directors, after consultation with the Company’s financial advisors and outside legal counsel, shall have determined in good faith that the third party’s Alternative Proposal remains a Superior Proposal with respect to Parent’s revised proposal; provided, that each time material modifications to the material terms of an Alternative Proposal determined to be a Superior Proposal are made, the Negotiation Period shall be extended for two (2) Business Days after written notification of such change to Parent shall have been provided (which notification shall include a copy or description of the Superior Proposal with such material modifications);

(4) in light of such Superior Proposal, following the expiration of the Negotiation Period, the Board of Directors determines in good faith, after consultation with the Company’s outside legal counsel, that the failure of the Board of Directors to effect a Change of Recommendation would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law; and

(5) the Company shall not have breached in any material respect this Section 5.3; in which event, following the satisfaction of each of the foregoing clauses (1) through (5), the Company may terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1(h); provided that prior to or substantially concurrent with such termination the Company shall have entered into a definitive agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal.

(e) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 5.3 to the contrary, at any time prior to the adoption of this Agreement by the Company’s stockholders, other than in connection with an Alternative Proposal, the Board of Directors may effect a Change of Recommendation in response to an Intervening Event, but only if prior to taking any such action:

(i) the Board of Directors determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that the failure of the Board of Directors to effect a Change of Recommendation in response to an Intervening Event would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law (taking into account any adjustment or revisions proposed by Parent (including pursuant to clause (iii) below));

-38-

(ii) the Board of Directors has given Parent at least five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice of its intention to take such action, which notice shall specify in detail the basis for the Change of Recommendation;

(iii) during such five (5) Business Day period, the Company has negotiated, and has caused its Representatives to negotiate, in good faith with Parent to the extent Parent wishes to negotiate, to enable Parent to revise the terms of this Agreement in such a manner that would obviate the need for taking such action; and

(iv) following such five (5) Business Day period, the Board of Directors shall have determined in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisers and outside legal counsel, that the revisions proposed by Parent pursuant to the foregoing clause (iii) would not obviate the need for a Change of Recommendation in response to such Intervening Event.

(f) Nothing contained in this Agreement shall prohibit the Company or its Board of Directors from (i) disclosing to its stockholders a position contemplated by Rules 14d-9 and 14e-2(a) promulgated under the Exchange Act, or from issuing a “stop, look and listen” statement pending disclosure of its position thereunder or (ii) making any disclosure to its stockholders if the Board of Directors determines in good faith, after consultation with the Company’s outside legal counsel, that the failure of the Board of Directors to make such disclosure would be inconsistent with the directors’ exercise of their fiduciary obligations to the Company’s stockholders under applicable Law.

(h) As used in this Agreement, “Superior Proposal” shall mean a written Alternative Proposal, substituting “fifty percent (50%)” for “twenty percent (20%),” that the Board of Directors determines in good faith, after consultation with the Company’s financial advisers and outside legal counsel, and considering such factors as the Board of Directors considers to be appropriate, (x) to be more favorable to the Company and its stockholders than the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and (y) is reasonably likely to be consummated in accordance with its terms, taking into account all financial, regulatory, legal and other aspects of the proposal, including, to the extent debt financing is required, whether such proposal is fully financed by means of an executed customary commitment letter from a reputable Person that has agreed to provide or cause to be provided the amounts set forth therein or by preexisting debt facilities.

-39-

(i) As used in this Agreement, “Intervening Event” shall mean a fact, event, change, development or set of circumstances material to the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole (other than any event or circumstance resulting from a breach of this Agreement by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries) that was not known to the Board of Directors as of or prior to the date of this Agreement.

If at any time prior to the Company Meeting any information relating to the Company, Parent or any of their respective Affiliates, officers or directors is discovered by the Company or Parent which should be set forth in an amendment or supplement to the Proxy Statement or the Schedule 13E-3, so that the Proxy Statement, Schedule 13E-3 or the other filings shall not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, no misleading, the party which discovers such information shall promptly notify the other party, and an appropriate amendment or supplement describing such information shall be filed with the SEC and, to the extent required by applicable Law, disseminated to the stockholders of the Company.

For a period of one year following the Effective Time, Parent shall provide, or shall cause to be provided, to each current and former employee of the Company and its Subsidiaries (“Company Employees”) (i) base compensation and bonus opportunities (taking into account equity-based compensation granted by Parent or its Affiliates, which, for the avoidance of doubt, does not include any equity granted in connection with a Rollover Investment), that are no less favorable in the aggregate than were provided to the Company Employee immediately before the Effective Time and (ii) all other compensation and benefits (excluding equity-based compensation) that are no less favorable in the aggregate than were provided to the Company Employee immediately before the Effective Time. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, (A) Parent shall or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to provide to each Company Employee whose employment terminates during the one-year period following the Effective Time severance benefits equal to the severance benefits provided for under the Company’s severance arrangements in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time and (B) during such one-year period following the Effective Time, severance benefits offered to each Company Employee shall be determined without taking into account any reduction after the Effective Time in compensation paid to such Company Employee.

(b) For all purposes (including purposes of vesting, eligibility to participate and level of benefits) under the employee benefit plans of Parent and its Subsidiaries providing benefits to any Company Employees after the Effective Time (the “New Plans”), each Company Employee shall be credited with his or her years of service with the Company and its Subsidiaries and their respective predecessors before the Effective Time, to the same extent as such Company Employee was entitled, before the Effective Time, to credit for such service under any similar Company Benefit Plan or Company Foreign Plan in which such Company Employee participated or was eligible to participate immediately prior to the Effective Time, provided that the foregoing shall not apply with respect to benefit accrual under any defined benefit pension plan or to the extent that its application would result in a duplication of benefits. In addition, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (i) each Company Employee shall be immediately eligible to participate, without any waiting time, in any and all

-41-

New Plans to the extent coverage under such New Plan is comparable to a Company Benefit Plan or Company Foreign Plan in which such Company Employee participated immediately before the Effective Time (such plans, collectively, the “Old Plans”), and (ii) for purposes of each New Plan providing medical, dental, pharmaceutical and/or vision benefits to any Company Employee, Parent shall cause all pre-existing condition exclusions and actively-at-work requirements of such New Plan to be waived for such employee and his or her covered dependents, unless such conditions would not have been waived under the comparable plans of the Company or its Subsidiaries in which such employee participated immediately prior to the Effective Time, and Parent shall cause any eligible expenses incurred by such employee and his or her covered dependents during the portion of the plan year of the Old Plans ending on the date such employee’s participation in the corresponding New Plan begins to be taken into account under such New Plan for purposes of satisfying all deductible, coinsurance and maximum out-of-pocket requirements applicable to such employee and his or her covered dependents for the applicable plan year as if such amounts had been paid in accordance with such New Plan.

(c) Parent hereby acknowledges that a “change of control” (or similar phrase) within the meaning of the Company Benefit Plans or the Company Foreign Plans, as applicable, will occur at or prior to the Effective Time, as applicable.

(d) If the Company has not paid the annual bonuses in respect of calendar year 2012 based on the Company’s Annual 2012 Performance Incentive Program a summary of the material terms of which is described on Section 5.5(d) of the Company Disclosure Letter (“2012 Annual Bonuses”) prior to the Effective Time, then, no later than February 15, 2013, Parent shall cause to be paid to each Company Employee who is employed by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries immediately prior to the Effective Time and who participates in a Company annual bonus or incentive plan in respect of calendar year 2012, such Company Employee’s 2012 Annual Bonus based on actual performance levels; provided, however, that senior management of the Company as of the date of this Agreement may determine in its sole discretion to reduce or eliminate the 2012 Annual Bonus for any Company Employee whose employment with the Company terminates prior to the payment of the 2012 Annual Bonuses.

Section 5.6 Efforts.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, each of the parties hereto shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to take promptly, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do promptly, or cause to be done, and to assist and cooperate with the other parties in doing, all things reasonably necessary, proper or advisable under applicable Laws to consummate and make effective the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including (i) the obtaining of all necessary actions or nonactions, waivers, consents, clearances, approvals, and expirations or terminations of waiting periods, including the Specified Approvals and the Parent Approvals, from Governmental Entities and the making of all necessary registrations and filings and the taking of all steps as may be necessary to obtain an approval, clearance or waiver from, or to avoid an action or proceeding by, any Governmental Entity, (ii) the obtaining of all necessary consents, approvals or waivers from third parties, (iii) the defending of any lawsuits or other legal proceedings, whether judicial or administrative, challenging this Agreement or the consummation of the Merger and the other transactions

(a) Parent and Merger Sub agree that all rights to exculpation, indemnification and advancement of expenses now existing in favor of the current or former directors, officers or employees, as the case may be, of the Company or its Subsidiaries as provided in their respective certificates of incorporation or bylaws or other organizational documents or in any agreement shall survive the Merger and shall continue in full force and effect. For a period of six (6) years from the Effective Time, Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall maintain in effect the exculpation, indemnification and advancement of expenses provisions of the Company’s and any Company Subsidiary’s certificates of incorporation and bylaws or similar organizational documents as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time or in any indemnification agreements of the Company or its Subsidiaries with any of their respective directors, officers or employees as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, and shall not amend, repeal or otherwise modify any such provisions in any manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of any individuals who at the Effective Time were current or former directors, officers or employees of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; provided, however, that all rights to indemnification in respect of any Action pending or asserted or any claim made within such period shall continue until the disposition of such Action or resolution of such claim. From and after the Effective Time, Parent shall assume, be jointly and severally liable for, and honor, guaranty and stand surety for, and shall cause the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries to honor, in accordance with their respective terms, each of the covenants contained in this Section 5.9.

In the event of any such Action, Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall cooperate with the Indemnified Party in the defense of any such Action.

-46-

(c) For a period of six (6) years from the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to maintain in effect the current policies of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance and fiduciary liability insurance maintained by the Company and its Subsidiaries with respect to matters arising on or before the Effective Time; provided, however, that after the Effective Time, Parent shall not be required to pay annual premiums in excess of 250% of the last annual premium paid by the Company prior to the date hereof in respect of the coverage required to be obtained pursuant hereto, but in such case shall purchase as much coverage as reasonably practicable for such amount. At the Company’s option, the Company may purchase, prior to the Effective Time, a six-year prepaid “tail” policy on terms and conditions providing substantially equivalent benefits as the current policies of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance and fiduciary liability insurance maintained by the Company and its Subsidiaries with respect to matters arising on or before the Effective Time, covering without limitation the transactions contemplated hereby; provided, however, that the Company shall not pay in excess of 250% of the last annual premium paid by the Company prior to the date hereof in respect of such “tail” policy. If such “tail” prepaid policy has been obtained by the Company prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall cause such policy to be maintained in full force and effect, for its full term, and cause all obligations thereunder to be honored by the Surviving Corporation, and no other party shall have any further obligation to purchase or pay for insurance hereunder.

(d) Parent shall cause to be paid all reasonable expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, that may be incurred by any Indemnified Party in enforcing the indemnity and other obligations provided in this Section 5.9.

(e) The rights of each Indemnified Party hereunder shall be in addition to, and not in limitation of, any other rights such Indemnified Party may have under the certificates of incorporation or bylaws or other organization documents of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or the Surviving Corporation, any other indemnification arrangement, the DGCL or otherwise. The provisions of this Section 5.9 shall survive the consummation of the Merger and expressly are intended to benefit, and are enforceable by, each of the Indemnified Parties.

(f) In the event Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity in such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in either such case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Parent or the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, shall assume the obligations set forth in this Section 5.9.

Section 5.11 Financing.

(a) Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain, or cause to be obtained, the proceeds of the Financing on the terms and conditions described in the Commitment Letters, including (i) maintaining in effect the Commitment Letters, (ii) negotiating definitive agreements with respect to the Debt Financing (the “Definitive Agreements”) consistent in all material respects with the terms and conditions contained therein (including, as necessary, the “flex” provisions contained in the Fee Letter) or, if available, on other terms that would not adversely impact the ability of Parent to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and (iii) satisfying all conditions applicable to Parent and its Subsidiaries to obtaining the Financing. In the event that all conditions contained in the Commitment Letters (other than, with respect to the Debt Financing, the availability of the Equity Financing) have been satisfied, Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Lenders, Equity Investors and the Rollover Investors to fund the Financing required to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and to pay related fees and expenses on the Closing Date (including by seeking to enforce its rights under the Financing Commitments and Definitive Agreements in the event of a breach by the other parties thereto). Parent shall comply with its obligations, and enforce its rights, under the Commitment Letters in a timely and diligent manner. Parent shall give the Company prompt notice of any material breach by any party to the Commitment Letters of which Parent has become aware or any termination of any of the Commitment Letters. Parent shall not, without the prior written consent of the Company, (A) permit any amendment or modification to, or any waiver of any material provision or remedy under, or replace, the Commitment Letters if such amendment, modification, waiver, or replacement (w) would (i) add new (or adversely modify any existing) condition to the Financing Commitments or otherwise adversely affect the ability or likelihood of Parent or Merger Sub to timely consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or (ii) make the timely funding of the Debt Financing or satisfaction of the conditions to obtaining the Financing less likely to occur, (x) reduces the amount of the Debt Financing such that the aggregate funds that would be available to Parent and Merger Sub at the Closing (taking into account the Equity Financing and the Rollover Investment) would not be sufficient to satisfy Parent’s and Merger Sub’s obligations to pay the Merger Consideration and any fees and expenses of or payable by Parent, Merger Sub or the Surviving Corporation unless the Equity Financing and/or the Rollover Investment is increased by a corresponding amount, (y) adversely affects the ability of Parent to enforce its rights against other parties to the Commitment Letters or the Definitive Agreements as so amended, replaced, supplemented or otherwise modified, relative to the ability of Parent to enforce its rights against such other parties to the Commitment Letters as in effect on the date hereof or in the Definitive Agreements or (z) could reasonably be expected to prevent, impede or delay the consummation of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement; or (B) terminate any Commitment Letter, unless such Commitment Letter is replaced in a manner consistent with the foregoing clause (A). Upon any such amendment, supplement or modification of the Debt Financing Commitments in accordance with this Section 5.11(a), the term “Debt Financing Commitments” shall mean the Debt Financing Commitments as so amended, supplemented or modified. In the event that any portion of the Debt Financing becomes unavailable, regardless of the reason therefor, Parent will (1) use its reasonable best efforts to obtain, as promptly as practicable following the occurrence of such event and in any event no later than the last day of the Marketing Period, alternative debt financing (in an amount sufficient, when taken together with other sources of funds available to Parent, including additional equity financing or rollover investments, to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and to pay related fees and expenses) on substantially equivalent or more favorable terms from the same or other sources and which would not prevent, impede or materially delay and would not reasonably be expected to prevent, impede or materially delay the consummation of the Debt Financing or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and (2) promptly notify the Company of such unavailability and the reason therefor. In furtherance of and not in limitation of the foregoing, in the event that any portion of the Debt Financing becomes unavailable, regardless of the reason therefor, but the bridge facilities contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letter (or alternative bridge facilities obtained in accordance with this Section 5.11(a)) are available on the terms and conditions described in the Debt Commitment Letter (or replacements thereof), then Parent shall cause the proceeds of such bridge financing to be used in lieu of such contemplated Debt Financing. For the purposes of this Agreement, the terms “Debt Commitment Letter” and “Debt Financing Commitments” shall be deemed to include any commitment letter (or similar agreement) or commitment with respect to any alternative financing arranged in compliance herewith (and any Debt Commitment Letter and Debt Financing Commitment remaining in effect at the time in question). In the event that any portion of the Equity Financing becomes unavailable, regardless of the reason therefor, Parent will (1) use its reasonable best efforts to obtain, as promptly as practicable following the occurrence of such event and in any event no later than the last day of the Marketing Period, alternative equity financing (in an amount sufficient, when taken together with other sources of funds available to Parent, including additional debt financing or rollover investments, to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and to pay related fees and expenses) on substantially

-48-

equivalent or more favorable terms from the same or other sources and which would not prevent, impede or materially delay and would not reasonably be expected to prevent, impede or materially delay the consummation of the Equity Financing or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and (2) promptly notify the Company of such unavailability and the reason therefor. For the purposes of this Agreement, the terms “Equity Commitment Letter” and “Equity Financing Commitments” shall be deemed to include any commitment letter (or similar agreement) or commitment with respect to any alternative financing arranged in compliance herewith (and any Equity Commitment Letter and Equity Financing Commitment remaining in effect at the time in question). Parent shall provide the Company with prompt oral and written notice of (1) any material breach or default by any party to any Commitment Letters or the Definitive Agreements of which Parent becomes aware and (2) the receipt of any written notice or other written communication from any Lender, Equity Investor, Rollover Investor or other financing source with respect to any breach, default, termination or repudiation by any party to any Commitment Letters or the Definitive Agreements of any provision thereof. Parent shall keep the Company reasonably informed on a reasonably current basis of the status of its efforts to consummate the Financing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, compliance by Parent with this Section 5.11 shall not relieve Parent of its obligation to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement whether or not the Financing is available.

(b) Prior to the Closing, the Company shall provide and shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause its officers, employees, consultants, agents, advisors, Affiliates and other representatives (“Representatives”), including legal and accounting, to provide all cooperation reasonably requested by Parent in connection with the arrangement of the Debt Financing (including any offering or private placement of debt securities), including (i) furnishing Parent and the Lenders as promptly as practicable (and in any event in the case of quarterly or annual financial statements required pursuant to this Section 5.11(b) that have not

-49-

been delivered to Parent prior to the date hereof, by a date that is not later than (A) 45 days after the end of the relevant fiscal quarter in respect of unaudited quarterly financial statements required pursuant to this Section 5.11(b) and (B) 90 days after the end of the relevant fiscal year in respect of audited financial statements required pursuant to this Section 5.11(b), as applicable) with financial information and other pertinent information regarding the Company and its Subsidiaries as may be reasonably requested (and updated as reasonably requested) by Parent to consummate the Financing and is customary to be included in (x) marketing materials for senior secured or unsecured indebtedness (or any documentation or deliverables in connection therewith) or (y) an offering document relating to a private placement of secured or unsecured high-yield debt securities under Rule 144A of the Securities Act, including data and other information that would be included customarily in such marketing materials and offering document (including the information required by Regulation S-X and Regulation S-K under the Securities Act for registered offerings of debt securities (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall include the financial statements and pro forma financial information required by Item 9.01 of Form 8-K for the Company’s recently completed acquisition of Archives.com)), and all information and data that would be necessary for an investment bank to receive customary (for high yield debt securities) “comfort” (including “negative assurance” comfort) from independent accountants in connection with such offering (all such information in this clause (i), together with all such other information required by the Debt Financing Commitments, the “Required Information”; provided that the Required Information shall not include, and Parent shall be responsible for, any post-Closing or pro forma cost savings, synergies, capitalization, ownership or other post-Closing pro forma adjustments desired to be incorporated into any information used in connection with the Debt Financing), (ii) participating in a reasonable number of meetings (including customary one-on-one meetings with the parties acting as lead arrangers or agents for, and prospective lenders and purchasers of, the Financing and senior management, representatives or advisors, with appropriate seniority and expertise, of the Company), presentations, road shows, due diligence sessions, drafting sessions and sessions with rating agencies in connection with the Financing, and assisting with the preparation of materials for rating agency presentations, roadshow presentations, offering memoranda, bank information memoranda and similar documents required in connection with the Debt Financing and otherwise reasonably cooperate in the marketing efforts related to the Debt Financing, (iii) using reasonable best efforts to obtain consents and customary comfort letters of independent accountants (including “negative assurance” comfort), legal opinions, surveys and title insurance as reasonably requested by Parent as necessary and customary for financings similar to the Financing (including any offering or private placement of debt securities pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act), (iv) using reasonable best efforts to assist in the preparation of a customary confidential information memorandum for the facilities and other customary marketing materials to be used in connection with the syndications reasonably deemed necessary by the lead arranger of the Debt Financing to complete a successful syndication pursuant to the terms of the Debt Commitment Letter, (v) using reasonable best efforts to help the Company procure a public corporate credit rating and a public corporate family rating in respect of the relevant borrower under the facilities contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letter from Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services (“S&P”) and Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”), respectively, and public ratings for any of the facilities or notes issued in connection with the Debt Financing from each of S&P and Moody’s, (vi) assist in the preparation of one or more credit or other agreements, as well as any pledge and security documents, and other definitive financing documents, collateral filings or other certificates

-50-

or documents as may be reasonably requested by Parent (including a certificate of the chief financial officer of the Company with respect to solvency matters of the Company and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis) and otherwise reasonably facilitating the pledging of collateral (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the delivery of stock certificates and stock powers with respect to outstanding shares of Subsidiaries of the Company prior to the Closing Date to be held in escrow pending the Closing) and taking all necessary corporate or other entity actions to facilitate all of the foregoing, (vii) at least three Business Days prior to the Closing Date, providing all documentation and other information about the Company as is reasonably requested by the Lenders with respect to applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations including without limitation the USA PATRIOT Act, provided that the request by Parent for such information is received by the Company at least five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, and (viii) arranging for the repayment on the Closing Date of all of the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ existing secured bank and unsecured notes facilities (including the Existing Credit Facility) and using reasonable best efforts to obtain customary pay-off letters, lien terminations, title transfers, and instruments of discharge or transfer relating to any collateral to be delivered at the Closing Date; provided in each case that none of the Company or its Subsidiaries shall be required to enter into any agreement that is not contingent upon the Closing. The foregoing notwithstanding, (A) neither the Company nor any Persons who are directors of the Company shall be required to pass resolutions or consents to approve or authorize the execution of the Debt Financing, (B) no obligation of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective Representatives under any certificate, document or instrument executed pursuant to the foregoing shall be effective until the Closing and (C) none of the Company or its Subsidiaries nor any of their respective Representatives shall be required to pay any commitment or other similar fee or incur any other cost or expense that is not simultaneously reimbursed by Parent in connection with the Debt Financing prior to the Closing. Nothing contained in this Section 5.11(b) or otherwise shall require the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, prior to the Closing, to be an issuer or other obligor with respect to the Debt Financing. Parent shall, promptly upon request by the Company, reimburse the Company for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred by the Company or its Subsidiaries or their respective Representatives in connection with such cooperation and shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company and its Subsidiaries and their respective Representatives for and against any and all Losses actually suffered or incurred by them in connection with the arrangement of the Debt Financing, any action taken by them at the request of Parent pursuant to this Section 5.11(b) and any information utilized in connection therewith (other than information provided by the Company or its Subsidiaries).

(c) If the Company at any point believes that it has delivered the Required Information in accordance with this Section 5.11, it may deliver to Parent a written notice to such effect, in which case the Company shall be deemed to have delivered the Required Information unless Parent shall provide to Company within five (5) Business Days a written notice describing in reasonable detail what information that constitutes Required Information the Company has not delivered.

(d) All non-public or otherwise confidential information regarding the Company or its Subsidiaries obtained by Parent or its Representatives pursuant to this Section 5.11(d) shall be kept confidential in accordance with the Confidentiality Agreement.

In the event that:

Section 8.5 Specific Enforcement.

(a) The parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. Each party agrees that, subject to Section 8.5(b), in the event of any breach or threatened breach by any other party of any covenant or obligation contained in this Agreement, the non-breaching party shall be entitled (in addition to any other remedy that may be available to it whether in law or equity, including monetary damages) to seek to obtain (a) a decree or order of specific performance to enforce the observance and performance of such covenant or obligation, and (b) an injunction restraining such breach or threatened breach.

-59-

(c) Each party further agrees that, subject to Section 8.5(b) (x) they will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief as provided herein on the basis that the other Party has an adequate remedy at law or an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or equity and (y) no other party or any other Person shall be required to obtain, furnish or post any bond or similar instrument in connection with or as a condition to obtaining any remedy referred to in this Section 8.5, and each party irrevocably waives any right it may have to require the obtaining, furnishing or posting of any such bond or similar instrument.

(d) While the Company may pursue both a grant of specific performance under this Section 8.5 and the payment of the Parent Termination Fee under Section 7.3(b), under no circumstances shall the Company be permitted or entitled to receive both (i) a grant of specific performance that permits the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the Merger, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and (ii) monetary damages in connection with this Agreement or any termination of this Agreement, including all or any portion of the Parent Termination Fee.
