AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER

THIS AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER, dated as of May 3, 2015 (this “Agreement”), is entered into by and among PMFG, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), CECO ENVIRONMENTAL CORP., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), TOP GEAR ACQUISITION INC., a Delaware corporation and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), and TOP GEAR ACQUISITION II LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Successor Sub”). The Company, Parent, Merger Sub and Successor Sub are herein referred to collectively as the “Parties” and each individually as a “Party.” Capitalized terms used herein (including in the immediately preceding sentence) and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings set forth in Section 10.4 hereof.

WITNESSETH

WHEREAS, each of the Boards of Directors of the Company, Parent and Merger Sub has unanimously determined that it is in the best interests of its stockholders that the Company, Parent and Merger Sub enter into a business combination pursuant to which Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company (the “First Step Merger”), with the Company continuing as the surviving corporation in the First Step Merger and as a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (the “First Step Surviving Corporation”), on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement and in accordance with the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”);

WHEREAS, the Parties have determined that immediately following the effectiveness of the First Step Merger, and in pursuance of the overall plan to combine the business activities of the Company and Parent, the First Step Surviving Corporation shall be merged with and into Successor Sub (the “Second Step Merger” and, together with the First Step Merger, the “Mergers”), with Successor Sub continuing as the surviving entity in the Second Step Merger and as a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (the “Surviving Entity”), on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement and in accordance with the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act (the “DLLCA”);

WHEREAS, each of the Boards of Directors of the Company, Parent, Merger Sub and Successor Sub has unanimously determined that the Mergers and the other transactions contemplated hereby are consistent with, and in furtherance of, its business strategies and goals, are fair to and in the best interests of its stockholders or members, as applicable, and has approved this Agreement and the Mergers upon the terms and conditions set forth herein;

WHEREAS, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, it is intended that the Mergers shall be treated as a single integrated transaction, as described in Rev. Rul. 2001-46, 2001-2 C.B. 321, and shall qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a)(1)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”);

WHEREAS, the Parties recognize that if the Mergers do not qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a)(1)(A) of the Code, the First Step Merger and the Second Step Merger will be treated as separate transactions for U.S. federal income tax purposes pursuant to Rev. Rul. 90-95, 1990-2 C.B. 67; and

WHEREAS, concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, certain stockholders of Parent are executing lock-up agreements in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Parent Lock-Up Agreements”), which Parent Lock-Up Agreements shall become effective only upon the First Step Effective Time, and a voting agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Parent Voting Agreement”), which Parent Voting Agreement shall become effective upon execution of this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual covenants and agreements herein contained, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the Parties hereby agree as follows:

Immediately following the First Step Effective Time and subject to and upon the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the DGCL and the DLLCA, the Second Step Merger shall be consummated, whereby the First Step Surviving Corporation shall be merged with and into Successor Sub, the separate corporate existence of the First Step Surviving Corporation shall cease and Successor Sub shall continue as the Surviving Entity and as a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Parent.

(ii) Each share of Company Common Stock with respect to which an election to receive stock consideration (a “Stock Election”) has been properly made pursuant to Section 2.2(c) and not revoked or changed pursuant to Sections 2.2(c) or 2.2(e) (each a “Stock Electing Company Share”) shall (subject to Section 2.3) be converted into the right to receive the number of validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Parent (the “Parent Common Stock”) determined by dividing (A) $6.85 by (B) the Parent Trading Price (such quotient, calculated to the nearest one ten-thousandth, the “Exchange Ratio”), (such per share amount, together with any cash in lieu of fractional shares of Parent Common Stock to be paid pursuant to Section 2.1(d), is hereinafter referred to as the “Parent Common Stock Consideration”); provided, however, that (x) if the number determined by dividing $6.85 by the Parent Trading Price is less than or equal to 0.5282, the Exchange Ratio shall be 0.5282 and (y) if the number determined by dividing $6.85 by the Parent Trading Price is greater than or equal to 0.6456, the Exchange Ratio shall be 0.6456. Without limiting the foregoing, without the prior written consent of Parent, in no event shall the aggregate number of shares of Parent Common Stock issuable pursuant to this Article II exceed 7,630,000 shares. As used in this Agreement, the term “Parent Trading Price” means the volume weighted average trading price of a share of Parent Common Stock on the NASDAQ Global Market (“NASDAQ”) for the 15 consecutive trading days ending on the trading day immediately preceding the Closing Date, as calculated by Bloomberg Financial LP under the function “VWAP”.

(iii) Each share of Company Common Stock that is not (A) an Excluded Share or (B) a share of Company Common Stock with respect to which a Cash Election or a Stock Election has been properly made pursuant to Section 2.2(c) and not revoked or changed pursuant to Section 2.2(e) (each, a “Non-Electing Company Share”) shall be converted into the right to receive the Cash Consideration or the Parent Common Stock Consideration, as determined pursuant to Section 2.3.

(c) Effective as of the First Step Effective Time, each share of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the First Step Effective Time (other than Excluded Shares and Dissenting Shares) shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist, and each holder of certificates (each, a “Certificate”) or evidence of shares in book-entry form (each such share, a “Book-Entry Share”) that immediately prior to the First Step Effective Time evidenced such shares of Company Common Stock shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the Merger Consideration therefor upon surrender of such Certificate or Book-Entry Share in accordance with Section 3.2. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Merger Consideration” with respect to a given share of Company Common Stock shall mean either the Cash Consideration (with respect to a share of Company Common Stock representing the right to receive the Cash Consideration) or the Parent Common Stock Consideration (with respect to a share of Company Common Stock representing the right to receive the Parent Common Stock Consideration).

(d) No Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Parent Common Stock (including any certificates or scrips representing fractional shares of Parent Common Stock) shall be issued in respect of shares of Company Common Stock that are to be converted in the First Step Merger into the right to receive shares of Parent Common Stock. Each holder of shares of Company Common Stock (other than Excluded Shares) shall be entitled to receive, in lieu of any fractional share of Parent Common Stock to which such holder would otherwise have been entitled pursuant to Sections 2.1(b) and 2.3, an amount in cash (without interest), rounded up to the nearest whole cent, equal to the product obtained by multiplying (i) the fractional share of Parent Common Stock to which such holder would otherwise be entitled (after taking into account all shares of Company Common Stock held by such holder immediately prior to the First Step Effective Time (other than Excluded Shares), such holder’s unrevoked Cash Elections and Stock Elections and the provisions of Section 2.3) by (ii) the Parent Trading Price. For purposes of determining any fractional shares interest, to the extent practicable, all shares of Company Common Stock owned by a holder of record of Company Common Stock (other than holders of Excluded Shares and Dissenting Shares) shall be combined so as to calculate the maximum number of whole shares of Parent Common Stock issuable to such holder of record of Company Common Stock (other than holders of Excluded Shares and Dissenting Shares). For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent practicable, the amount of cash per share of Company Common Stock to be paid to any holder of record pursuant to this Section 2.1(d) shall not exceed the Parent Trading Price.

Section 2.2 Election Procedures.

(a) Promptly after the execution of this Agreement, Parent shall designate and appoint a bank or trust company reasonably acceptable to the Company to act as exchange agent hereunder (the “Exchange Agent”) for the purpose of paying the Merger Consideration.

(b) Parent shall prepare and file as an exhibit to the Registration Statement a form of election, and other appropriate and customary transmittal materials, in such form and containing such provisions as Parent and the Company shall mutually agree consistent with the terms of this Agreement (collectively, the “Form of Election”). The Form of Election shall permit each Person who, at or prior to the Election Deadline, is a record holder (or, in the case of nominee record holders, the beneficial owner, through proper instructions and documentation) of any share of Company Common Stock (other than Excluded Shares) to specify the number of such holder’s shares of Company Common Stock with respect to which such holder makes a Cash Election and/or the number of such holder’s shares of Company Common Stock with respect to which such holder makes a Stock Election. The Form of Election shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon proper delivery of the completed Form of Election and any Certificates to the Exchange Agent. To the extent practicable, the Form of Election will permit each holder that beneficially owns shares of the

Company Common Stock, in more than one name or account, to specify (through appropriate and customary documentation and instructions) how to allocate the cash paid and shares of Parent Common Stock to be issued in the First Step Merger among the various accounts that such holder beneficially owns. Parent and the Company shall mail, or cause to be mailed, with the Joint Proxy Statement the Form of Election to all Persons who are record holders of shares of Company Common Stock as of the record date for the Company Stockholders’ Meeting. Parent and the Company shall each use commercially reasonable efforts to make, or cause to be made, the Form of Election available to all Persons who become holders of record (or beneficial owners) of shares of Company Common Stock during the period between the record date for the Company Stockholders’ Meeting and the close of business on the last Business Day immediately preceding the Election Deadline. As used in this Agreement, “Election Deadline” means 5:00 p.m., Eastern time, on the last Business Day immediately preceding the date of the Company Stockholders’ Meeting (after giving effect to any adjournment or postponement thereof), or on such other date as the Parties mutually agree.

(c) Any such election shall have been properly made only if the Exchange Agent shall have received at its designated office, by the Election Deadline, a Form of Election properly completed and signed and accompanied by Certificates, if any, representing the shares of Company Common Stock to which such Form of Election relates (or customary affidavits and indemnifications regarding the loss or destruction of such Certificates or by an appropriate guarantee of delivery of such Certificates as set forth in such Form of Election from a firm that is an “eligible guarantor institution” (as defined in Rule 17Ad-15 under the Exchange Act); provided, that such Certificates are in fact delivered to the Exchange Agent by the time set forth in such guarantee of delivery). Holders of record of shares of Company Common Stock who hold such shares as nominees, trustees or in other representative capacities may submit multiple Forms of Election; provided that each such Form of Election covers all of the shares of Company Common Stock held by each such nominee, trustee or representative for a particular beneficial owner. Any share of Company Common Stock (other than Excluded Shares) with respect to which a proper Cash Election or Stock Election has not been made as aforesaid shall be deemed to be a Non-Electing Company Share. After a Cash Election or Stock Election has been validly made, any subsequent transfer of the shares of Company Common Stock as to which such election related shall automatically revoke such election.

(d) Parent and the Company shall publicly announce the anticipated date of the Election Deadline at least five Business Days prior to the anticipated date of the Company Stockholders’ Meeting. If the Closing Date is delayed to a subsequent date, the Election Deadline shall be similarly delayed to a subsequent date, and Parent and the Company shall promptly announce any such delay and, when determined, the rescheduled Election Deadline.

(e) Any Cash Election or Stock Election may be revoked or changed with respect to all or any portion of the shares of Company Common Stock subject thereto (but only in whole share amounts) by the holder who submitted the applicable Form of Election by such holder submitting to the Exchange Agent a written notice of such revocation or change; provided such written notice is actually received by the Exchange Agent at or prior to the Election Deadline. In addition, if this Agreement is terminated in accordance with Article IX, all Cash Elections and Stock Elections shall automatically be revoked and Parent will instruct the Exchange Agent to return all Certificates and Book-Entry Shares submitted or transferred to the Exchange Agent pursuant to this Section 2.2. If a Cash Election or Stock Election is properly and timely revoked or changed with respect to any shares of Company Common Stock, the Certificate or Certificates or Book-Entry Shares, as the case may be, relating to such revoked or changed Form of Election shall be promptly returned to the holder or representative that submitted the same to the Exchange Agent, except to the extent (if any) a subsequent Cash Election and/or Stock Election is properly made with respect to any or all of the Book-Entry Shares or shares of Company Common Stock represented by any such Certificate or Certificates.

(f) The good faith determination of the Exchange Agent (or the joint good faith determination of Parent and the Company, in the event that the Exchange Agent declines to make any such determination) shall be conclusive and binding as to whether or not Cash Elections and Stock Elections shall have been properly made,

revoked or changed pursuant to this Section 2.2 and as to when Cash Elections, Stock Elections, revocations and changes were received by the Exchange Agent. The Exchange Agent shall have reasonable discretion to disregard immaterial defects in the Forms of Election. Neither the Exchange Agent, Parent nor the Company shall be under any obligation to notify any Person of any defect in a Form of Election. The Exchange Agent (or Parent and the Company jointly, in the event that the Exchange Agent declines to make the following computations) shall also make all computations as to the proration contemplated by Section 2.3, and absent manifest error such computations shall be conclusive and binding on Parent, the Company and all holders of Company Common Stock. The Exchange Agent may, with the written agreement of Parent and the consent of the Company (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), make any rules that are consistent with this Section 2.2 for the implementation of the Cash Elections and Stock Elections provided for in this Agreement and that shall be necessary or desirable to effect the Cash Elections and Stock Elections.

Section 2.3 Proration. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary:

(a) With respect to all shares of Company Common Stock (other than Excluded Shares and Dissenting Shares) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the First Step Effective Time:

(i) a number of shares of Company Common Stock equal to a number, rounded up to the nearest whole number, equal to (A) (1) the Aggregate Cash Consideration minus (2) the aggregate Equity Award Consideration payable pursuant to this Article II, divided by (B) the Cash Consideration (such number of shares, the “Cash Conversion Number”) shall be converted into the right to receive an amount per share equal to the Cash Consideration; and

(ii) the remainder of the shares of Company Common Stock (other than Excluded Shares and Dissenting Shares) shall be converted into the right to receive the Parent Common Stock Consideration per share.

For purposes of this Agreement, “Aggregate Cash Consideration” means an amount equal to (x) 21,482,172 multiplied by (y) the Cash Consideration multiplied by (z) 45%.

(b) If the aggregate number of Cash Electing Company Shares (such number of shares, the “Cash Election Number”) equals or exceeds the Cash Conversion Number, then:

(i) all Stock Electing Company Shares and all Non-Electing Company Shares shall be converted into the right to receive the Parent Common Stock Consideration per share; and

(ii) the number of Cash Electing Company Shares of each stockholder of the Company that shall be converted into the right to receive an amount per share equal to the Cash Consideration shall be a number of shares, rounded up to the nearest whole number, equal to the product obtained by multiplying (A) the number of Cash Electing Company Shares of such stockholder by (B) a fraction, the numerator of which is the Cash Conversion Number and the denominator of which is the Cash Election Number, and the remaining number of each such holder’s Cash Electing Company Shares shall be converted into the right to receive the Parent Common Stock Consideration per share.

(c) If the Cash Election Number is less than the Cash Conversion Number (such difference between the Cash Election Number and the Cash Conversion Number, the “Shortfall Number”), then:

(i) all Cash Electing Company Shares shall be converted into the right to receive an amount per share equal to the Cash Consideration; and

(ii) the Stock Electing Company Shares and the Non-Electing Company Shares shall be treated in the following manner:

(A) if the Shortfall Number is less than or equal to the aggregate number of Non-Electing Company Shares, then (x) all Stock Electing Company Shares shall be converted into the right to receive the Parent Common Stock Consideration per share and (y) the number of Non-Electing Company Shares of each

stockholder of the Company that shall be converted into the right to receive an amount per share equal to the Cash Consideration shall be a number of shares, rounded up to the nearest whole number, equal to the product obtained by multiplying (1) the number of Non-Electing Company Shares of such stockholder by (2) a fraction, the numerator of which is the Shortfall Number and the denominator of which is the aggregate number of Non-Electing Company Shares, and the remaining number of such holder’s Non-Electing Company Shares shall be converted into the right to receive the Parent Common Stock Consideration per share; or

(B) if the Shortfall Number exceeds the aggregate number of Non-Electing Company Shares, then (x) all Non-Electing Company Shares shall be converted into the right to receive an amount per share equal to the Cash Consideration and (y) the number of Stock Electing Company Shares of each stockholder of the Company that shall be converted into the right to receive an amount per share equal to the Cash Consideration shall be a number of shares, rounded up to the nearest whole number, equal to the product obtained by multiplying (1) the number of Stock Electing Company Shares of such stockholder by (2) a fraction, the numerator of which is the amount by which the Shortfall Number exceeds the aggregate number of Non-Electing Company Shares and the denominator of which is the aggregate number of Stock Electing Company Shares, and the remaining number of such holder’s Stock Electing Company Shares shall be converted into the right to receive the Parent Common Stock Consideration per share.

Section 2.4 Effect of the First Step Merger on Capital Stock of Merger Sub. At the First Step Effective Time, each share of Common Stock, no par value, of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the First Step Effective Time shall be converted into and become one fully paid share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the First Step Surviving Corporation and constitute the only outstanding shares of capital stock of the First Step Surviving Corporation.

Section 2.5 Treatment of Company Equity Awards.

(a) As of the First Step Effective Time, each option to purchase shares of Company Common Stock or other right to purchase shares of Company Common Stock under any Company Equity Plan (each a “Company Option”), to the extent it is outstanding and unexercised immediately prior thereto, shall become fully vested as of the First Step Effective Time and shall by virtue of the First Step Merger and without any action on the part of any holder of any Company Option be automatically cancelled and the holder thereof will receive, as soon as reasonably practicable following the First Step Effective Time a cash payment (without interest) with respect thereto equal to the product of (i) the excess, if any, of the Cash Consideration over the exercise price per share of such Company Option and (ii) the number of shares of Company Common Stock issuable upon exercise of such Company Option (collectively, the “Option Consideration”). As of the First Step Effective Time, all Company Options, whether or not vested or exercisable, shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically cease to exist, and each holder of a Company Option shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the Option Consideration. The Option Consideration shall in all cases be paid in cash and shall not be subject to the proration contemplated by Section 2.3.

(b) Other than a Company RSU granted subsequent to the date of this Agreement in accordance with Schedule 6.1(b) of the Company Disclosure Schedule (which shall be treated in the manner set forth in Schedule 6.1(b) of the Company Disclosure Schedule), as of the First Step Effective Time, (i) each restricted stock unit granted under any Company Equity Plan (each a “Company RSU” and together with the Company Options, the “Company Equity Awards”) which is outstanding immediately prior thereto shall become fully vested as of the First Step Effective Time, (ii) each Company RSU shall by virtue of the First Step Merger and without any action on the part of any holder of any Company RSU be automatically cancelled, and the holder thereof will receive, as soon as reasonably practicable following the First Step Effective Time, a cash payment (without interest) with respect thereto equal to the product of (A) the aggregate number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Company RSU multiplied by (B) the Cash Consideration (collectively, the “RSU Consideration” and, together with the Option Consideration, the “Equity Award Consideration”) and (iii) all Company RSUs that are outstanding immediately prior thereto, whether or not vested, shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically cease to exist, and each holder of a Company RSU shall cease to have any rights with respect

thereto, except the right to receive the RSU Consideration. The RSU Consideration shall in all cases be paid in cash and shall not be subject to the proration contemplated by Section 2.3.

(c) As of the First Step Effective Time, each share of restricted stock granted under any Company Equity Plan (each a “Company Restricted Share”) which is outstanding immediately prior thereto shall, as of the First Step Effective Time, become fully vested and the restrictions with respect thereto shall lapse, and shall be treated as an outstanding share of Company Common Stock for purposes of this Article II.

(d) Payment of any cash amounts to be paid in respect of Company Equity Awards or Company Restricted Shares may be made through the Surviving Entity’s payroll.

Section 2.6 Dissenting Shares. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, shares of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the First Step Effective Time that are held by any holder who has not voted in favor of the Mergers and who is entitled, pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL to demand and properly demands appraisal of such shares of Company Common Stock (“Dissenting Shares”) shall not be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration, unless and until such holder shall have failed to perfect, or shall have effectively withdrawn or lost, such holder’s right to appraisal under the DGCL. Dissenting Shares shall be treated in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL. If any such holder fails to perfect or withdraws or loses any such right to appraisal, each such share of Company Common Stock of such holder shall thereupon be deemed to be a Non-Electing Company Share for all purposes of this Agreement, unless such holder of Dissenting Shares shall thereafter otherwise make a timely Stock Election or Cash Election under this Agreement. If any holder of Dissenting Shares shall have so failed to perfect or has effectively withdrawn or lost such holder’s right to dissent from the Mergers after the Election Deadline, each of such holder’s shares of Company Common Stock shall thereupon be deemed to have been converted into and to have become, as of the First Step Effective Time, the right to receive the Parent Common Stock Consideration or the Cash Consideration, or a combination thereof, as determined pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. The Company shall serve prompt notice to Parent of any demands for appraisal of any shares of Company Common Stock, attempted withdrawals of such notices or demands and any other instruments received by the Company relating to rights to appraisal, and Parent shall have the right to participate in and direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demands. The Company shall not, without the prior written consent of Parent, make any payment with respect to, settle or offer to settle, or approve any withdrawal of any such demands.

Section 2.7 Effect of the Second Step Merger on Capital Stock of the First Step Surviving Corporation. At the Second Step Effective Time, each share of Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the First Step Surviving Corporation issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Second Step Effective Time shall be cancelled and shall not be converted into limited liability company interests or other equity interests of the Surviving Entity. Immediately after the completion of the Second Step Merger, Parent shall own all of the issued and outstanding limited liability company interests or other equity interests of the Surviving Entity.

ARTICLE III

SURRENDER OF SHARES OF COMPANY COMMON STOCK FOR MERGER

CONSIDERATION

Section 3.1 Delivery of the Merger Consideration. Prior to the First Step Effective Time, Parent shall deposit with the Exchange Agent, pursuant to an agreement providing for the matters set forth in this Article III and such other matters as may be appropriate and the terms of which shall be mutually acceptable to Parent and the Company, an amount in cash and shares of Parent Common Stock (which shall be in non-certificated book entry form) sufficient to effect the conversion of each share of Company Common Stock (other than Excluded Shares and Dissenting Shares) into the applicable Merger Consideration pursuant to this Agreement. Parent agrees to make available to the Exchange Agent from time to time as needed, any cash in lieu of fractional shares of Parent Common Stock to be issued or paid in consideration therefor pursuant to Section 2.1(d) and any dividends or other distributions which a holder of Company Common Stock has the right to receive pursuant to Section 3.3). All such

shares of Parent Common Stock and cash deposited with the Exchange Agent are hereinafter referred to as the “Exchange Fund”. The cash in the Exchange Fund will be invested by the Exchange Agent as directed by Parent in money market funds or similar short-term liquid investments. The Exchange Fund shall not be used for any other purpose. Parent shall promptly replace or restore or shall cause the prompt replacement or restoration of the cash in the Exchange Fund so as to ensure that the Exchange Fund is at all times maintained at a level sufficient for the Exchange Agent to make such payments required under this Agreement. Nothing contained in this Section 3.1, and no investment losses resulting from investment of the funds deposited with the Exchange Agent, shall diminish the rights of any holder of Company Common Stock to receive the Merger Consideration.

Section 3.2 Exchange Procedures.

(a) Promptly after the First Step Effective Time, but in any event not more than five Business Days after the First Step Effective Time, Parent shall take all steps reasonably necessary to cause the Exchange Agent to mail to each holder of record of Non-Electing Company Shares as of immediately prior to the First Step Effective Time (each such holder, a “Non-Electing Company Holder”), subject to Section 2.3, (i) a letter of transmittal (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to each Certificate representing any Non-Electing Company Shares held by such Non-Electing Company Holder shall pass, only upon delivery of the completed letter of transmittal and such Certificate to the Exchange Agent and shall be in customary form and as Parent and the Company shall mutually agree) for return to the Exchange Agent and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of Certificate or Book-Entry Shares in exchange for the total amount of Merger Consideration that such Non-Electing Company Holder is entitled to receive in exchange for such holder’s Non-Electing Company Shares in the First Step Merger pursuant to this Agreement (including cash in lieu of a fractional share of Parent Common Stock to be paid pursuant to Section 2.1(d), if any). Such instructions shall be reasonable and consistent with the provisions of this Agreement and shall be in customary form and upon customary terms for transactions similar to the First Step Merger; provided, however, that prior to the First Step Effective Time, Parent shall afford the Company a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such transmittal materials and obtain the Company’s approval of such materials, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. In the event of a transfer of ownership of shares of Company Common Stock that is not registered in the stock transfer records of the Company, the appropriate Merger Consideration may be paid or issued, as appropriate, to a transferee if the Certificate representing such shares of Company Common Stock is presented to the Exchange Agent, accompanied by all documents required to evidence and effect such transfer and by evidence that any applicable stock transfer taxes have been paid. From and after the First Step Effective Time, until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 3.2, each Certificate and Book-Entry Share representing Non-Electing Company Shares held by a Non-Electing Company Holder shall be deemed to represent only the right to receive the total amount of Merger Consideration to which such Non-Electing Company Holder is entitled in exchange for such Non-Electing Company Shares as contemplated by Article II.

(b) Upon surrender by a Non-Electing Company Holder to the Exchange Agent of all Certificates representing such holder’s Non-Electing Company Shares, together with a letter of transmittal duly completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto, and such other documents as may be required pursuant to such instructions, each Non-Electing Company Holder shall be entitled to receive as promptly as reasonably practicable in exchange therefor (and in any event within 10 Business Days following such surrender): (i) the number of whole shares of Parent Common Stock (which shall be in non-certificated book entry form), if any, into which such holder’s shares of Company Common Stock represented by such holder’s properly surrendered Non-Electing Company Shares were converted in accordance with Article II, and all Certificates representing such Non-Electing Company Shares so surrendered shall be forthwith cancelled, and (ii) an amount of U.S. dollars (after giving effect to any required withholdings pursuant to Section 3.7) equal to (A) the amount of cash (consisting of the Cash Consideration and cash in lieu of a fractional share of Parent Common Stock to be paid pursuant to Section 2.1(d)), if any, into which such holder’s shares of Company Common Stock represented by such holder’s properly surrendered Certificates were converted in accordance with Article II, plus (B) any cash dividends and other distributions that such holder has the right to receive pursuant to Section 3.3.

(c) As of the First Step Effective Time, each Person who immediately prior thereto was a stockholder of the Company who properly made and did not revoke or change a Cash Election and/or a Stock Election shall be entitled to receive as promptly as reasonably practicable in exchange therefor (and in any event within 10 Business Days following the First Step Effective Time): (i) the number of whole shares of Parent Common Stock (which shall be in non-certificated book entry form), if any, into which such holder’s shares of Company Common Stock represented by such holder’s properly surrendered shares of Company Common Stock were converted in accordance with Article II, and all Certificates representing the shares of Company Common Stock so surrendered shall be forthwith cancelled, and (ii) an amount of U.S. dollars (after giving effect to any required withholdings pursuant to Section 3.7) equal to (A) the amount of cash (consisting of the Cash Consideration and cash in lieu of a fractional share of Parent Common Stock to be paid pursuant to Section 2.1(d)), if any, into which such holder’s shares of Company Common Stock represented by such holder’s properly surrendered Certificates were converted in accordance with Article II, plus (B) any cash dividends and other distributions that such holder has the right to receive pursuant to Section 3.3.

Section 3.3 Dividends and Distributions. No dividends or other distributions with respect to shares of Parent Common Stock with a record date after the First Step Effective Time shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered shares of Company Common Stock until such shares of Company Common Stock are surrendered as provided in this Article III or Section 2.2(c). Subject to the effect of applicable Laws, following such surrender, there shall be paid, without interest, to the record holder of the shares of Parent Common Stock issued in exchange for such shares of Company Common Stock (a) when any payment or distribution of a certificate representing any share(s) of Parent Common Stock is made to such holder pursuant to Section 3.2(b) or (c), all dividends and other distributions payable in respect of such Parent Common Stock with a record date after the First Step Effective Time and a payment date on or prior to the date of such surrender and not previously paid and (b) on the appropriate payment date, the dividends or other distributions payable with respect to such Parent Common Stock with a record date after the First Step Effective Time but prior to surrender and with a payment date subsequent to such surrender. For purposes of dividends and other distributions in respect of Parent Common Stock, all shares of Parent Common Stock to be issued pursuant to the First Step Merger shall be entitled to dividends and other distributions on or in respect of Parent Common Stock pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence as if issued and outstanding as of the First Step Effective Time.

Section 3.4 Transfer Books; No Further Ownership Rights in Shares. From and after the First Step Effective Time, the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed and there shall be no further registration of transfers of shares of Company Common Stock on the records of the Company. After the First Step Effective Time, the holders of shares of Company Common Stock shall cease to have any rights with respect to such shares, except the right to receive the Merger Consideration and such dividends and other distributions on or in respect of shares of Parent Common Stock issued in exchange therefor as provided herein or as otherwise provided by applicable Law. If, after the First Step Effective Time, any shares of Company Common Stock are presented to the Exchange Agent, the First Step Surviving Corporation or the Surviving Entity for any reason, they shall be canceled and exchanged as provided in Article II.

Section 3.5 Termination of Fund; No Liability. At any time following 12 months after the First Step Effective Time, Parent shall be entitled to require the Exchange Agent to deliver to Parent (a) shares of Parent Common Stock held by the Exchange Agent for payment of the Parent Common Stock Consideration and (b) cash held by the Exchange Agent for payment of Cash Consideration and cash payments in lieu of fractional shares of Parent Common Stock, in each case, for which the Exchange Agent shall not have been obligated to deliver to holders of shares of Company Common Stock pursuant to Section 3.2. Thereafter, holders of shares of Company Common Stock shall be entitled to look only to Parent, which shall thereafter act as the Exchange Agent (subject to abandoned property, escheat or other similar Laws), as general creditors of Parent with respect to the delivery of the Merger Consideration (including payment of cash in lieu of fractional shares of Parent Common Stock) upon due surrender of the Certificates or Book-Entry Shares held by such holders. None of Parent, the First Step Surviving Corporation, the Surviving Entity or the Exchange Agent shall be liable to any Person for any Merger Consideration delivered to a public official pursuant to any abandoned property, escheat or similar Law from and after the date that any such Law shall become applicable to the Merger Consideration.

Section 3.6 Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. In the event that any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit attesting to that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if requested by Parent, the delivery by such Person of a bond (in such amount as Parent or the Surviving Corporation may reasonably direct) as indemnity against any claim that may be made against the Exchange Agent, Parent, the First Step Surviving Corporation or the Surviving Entity on account of the alleged loss, theft or destruction of such Certificate, the Exchange Agent will pay in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate the Merger Consideration to which such holder is entitled as determined and otherwise in accordance with Article II, together with any cash dividends and other distributions to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 3.3.

Section 3.7 Withholding Taxes. Parent or the Exchange Agent will be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby to any holder of Company Common Stock or Company Equity Awards such amounts as Parent or the Exchange Agent are required to deduct and withhold and remit to the appropriate Tax authority with respect to the making of such payment under the Code, or any applicable provision of U.S. federal, state, local or non-U.S. Tax Law. To the extent that such amounts are properly withheld by Parent or the Exchange Agent and paid over on a timely basis to the appropriate Tax authority, such withheld amounts will be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of the Company Common Stock or Company Equity Awards in respect of whom such deduction and withholding were made by Parent or the Exchange Agent. Any applicable Tax withholdings with respect to the consideration payable in respect of a Company Restricted Share first shall reduce the number of shares of Parent Common Stock, if any, payable in respect of such Company Restricted Share.

Section 3.8 Adjustments. Without limiting the other provisions of this Agreement, in the event that (a) the Company changes the number of shares of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding or (b) Parent changes the number of shares of Parent Common Stock issued and outstanding, in each case following the Capitalization Date but prior to the First Step Effective Time as a result of a reclassification, stock split (including a reverse stock split), stock dividend or distribution, recapitalization, merger, subdivision, issuer tender or exchange offer, or other similar transaction, the Merger Consideration and the Equity Award Consideration shall be equitably adjusted to reflect such change.

ARTICLE IV

Each of the Company and each of its Subsidiaries is duly qualified or licensed as a foreign entity to do business, and is in good standing, in each jurisdiction where the character of its properties owned, leased or operated by it or the nature of its activities makes such qualification or licensing necessary, except for such failures to be so duly qualified or licensed and in good standing that would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect on the Company. A true and complete list of all of the Company’s Subsidiaries, together with the jurisdiction of organization of each Subsidiary and the percentage of each Subsidiary’s outstanding capital stock or ownership interests owned by the Company or another Subsidiary, is set forth in Section 4.1 of the Company Disclosure Schedule.

Section 4.3 Capitalization.

(a) The authorized capital stock of the Company consists exclusively of (i) 50,000,000 shares of Company Common Stock and (ii) 5,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, $0.01 par value per share, none of which Preferred Stock is issued, outstanding or reserved for issuance as of the date of this Agreement. As of May 1, 2015 (the “Capitalization Date”), (i) 21,196,006 shares of Company Common Stock (inclusive of Company Restricted Shares) were issued and outstanding, all of which are validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, and no such shares of Company Common Stock were held in treasury, (ii) no shares of Company Common Stock were held by Subsidiaries of the Company, and (iii) 286,166 shares of Company Common Stock were reserved for issuance pursuant to outstanding Company Options or Company RSUs granted under the Company incentive plans and agreements listed in Section 4.3(a) of the Company Disclosure Schedule (the “Company Equity Plans”), and 842,428 shares of Company Common Stock remained available for future issuance under the Company Equity Plans. Since the Capitalization Date through the date of this Agreement, the Company has not issued any shares of its capital stock, voting securities or equity interests, or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for any shares of its capital stock, voting securities or equity interests, other than pursuant to the outstanding Company Options, Company RSUs and other rights referred to above in this Section 4.3(a). Except as set forth in this Section 4.3 or Section 4.3(a) of the Company Disclosure Schedule, and other than Company Equity Awards or Company Restricted Shares issued in accordance with Schedule 6.1(b) of the Company Disclosure Schedule, there are no options, warrants, convertible securities or other similar rights, agreements, arrangements or commitments of any character relating to the issued or unissued capital stock of the

Company or any of its Subsidiaries or obligating the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to issue or sell any shares of capital stock of, or other equity interests in, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. All shares of Company Common Stock subject to issuance as aforesaid, upon issuance on the terms and conditions specified in the instruments pursuant to which they are issuable, shall be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable. Except as disclosed in Section 4.3(a) of the Company Disclosure Schedule or for intercompany receivables and payables made in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice, there are no obligations, contingent or otherwise, of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to repurchase, redeem or otherwise acquire any shares of Company Common Stock or the capital stock or other equity interests of any Subsidiary or to provide funds to or make any investment (in the form of a loan, capital contribution or otherwise) in any such Subsidiary or any other entity. There are no outstanding preemptive rights with respect to the Company Common Stock. All of the outstanding shares of capital stock or other equity interests of each of the Company’s Subsidiaries are duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, and all such shares or other equity interests are owned by the Company or another Subsidiary of the Company free and clear of all security interests, liens, claims, pledges, agreements, limitations in the Company’s voting rights, charges or other encumbrances of any nature whatsoever.

As used in this Agreement, “Fully Diluted Share Equivalents” means, at any time, the sum of (i) the number of issued and outstanding shares of Company Common Stock plus (ii) a number of shares of Company Common Stock equivalent to the quotient obtained by dividing (A) the aggregate Equity Award Consideration by (B) the Cash Consideration.

The Company and its Subsidiaries are in compliance with the terms of each of the Company Permits, except where the failure to so comply would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect on the Company.

Section 4.7 SEC Filings; Financial Statements.

(a) The Company has filed all forms, reports and other documents (including exhibits and all other information incorporated by reference) required to be filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) since June 30, 2012, including (i) its Annual Reports on Form 10-K for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2012, June 29, 2013 and June 28, 2014, (ii) all proxy statements relating to the Company’s meetings of stockholders (whether annual or special) held since June 30, 2012, (iii) all other reports or registration statements filed by the Company with the SEC since June 30, 2012, and (iv) all amendments and supplements to the foregoing filed by the Company with the SEC since June 30, 2012 (collectively, the “Company SEC Reports”). The Company SEC Reports (A) were prepared in all material respects in accordance with the requirements of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, as the case may be, and (B) did not at the time they were filed (or if amended or superseded by a filing prior to the date of this Agreement, then on the date of such filing) contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they

were made, not misleading. There are no outstanding or unresolved comments in comment letters received from the SEC with respect to the Company SEC Reports. To the Knowledge of the Company, none of the Company SEC Reports is subject to ongoing SEC review. None of the Company’s Subsidiaries is required to file any forms, reports or other documents with the SEC, other than as part of Company’s consolidated group. The Company is and has been since June 30, 2012 in compliance in all material respects with the applicable listing and corporate governance rules and regulations of NASDAQ.

(b) Each of the consolidated financial statements (including, in each case, any related notes thereto) contained in or incorporated by reference into the Company SEC Reports at the time filed complied as to form in all material respects with the published rules and regulations of the SEC with respect thereto as of their respective dates and was prepared in accordance with GAAP applied on a consistent basis throughout the periods involved (except as may be indicated in the notes thereto or, in the case of unaudited statements, as permitted by Form 10-Q of the SEC), and each fairly presents in all material respects the consolidated financial position of the Company and its consolidated Subsidiaries as at the respective dates thereof and the consolidated results of its operations and cash flows for the periods indicated, except that the unaudited interim financial statements included therein were or are subject to normal and recurring year-end adjustments as permitted by GAAP. The books and records of the Company and its Subsidiaries have been, and are being, maintained in all material respects in accordance with GAAP and any other applicable legal and accounting requirements and reflect only actual transactions. As of the date of this Agreement, Grant Thornton LLP has not resigned or been dismissed as independent public accountants of the Company as a result of or in connection with any disagreements with the Company on a matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure.

(c) The Company has established and maintains “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Exchange Act) that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that material information (both financial and non-financial) relating to the Company and its Subsidiaries required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files with the SEC is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure and to make the certifications of the principal executive officer and the principal financial officer of the Company required by Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (“Sarbanes-Oxley”) with respect to such reports. For purposes of this Agreement, “principal executive officer” and “principal financial officer” shall have the meanings given to such terms in Sarbanes-Oxley.

(d) The Company has established and maintains a system of “internal control over financial reporting” (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act). Such internal controls are designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of the Company’s financial reporting and the preparation of the Company’s financial statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP. Since June 30, 2012 through the date of this Agreement, the Company has disclosed to the Company’s auditors and audit committee, to the extent required by Sarbanes-Oxley or the Exchange Act, and based upon the most recent evaluation of the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, (i) any significant deficiencies or material weaknesses in the design or operation of internal controls which are reasonably likely to adversely affect in a material respect the Company’s ability to record, process, summarize and report financial information and (ii) any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other employees who have a significant role in internal controls over financial reporting. The Company has made available to Parent a summary of any such disclosure regarding material weaknesses and fraud made by management to the Company’s auditors and audit committee from June 30, 2012 through the date of this Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, a “significant deficiency” in controls means an internal control deficiency that adversely affects an entity’s ability to initiate, authorize, record, process, or report external financial data reliably in accordance with GAAP. A “significant deficiency” may be a single deficiency or a combination of deficiencies that results in more than a remote likelihood that a misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements that is more than inconsequential will not be prevented or detected. For purposes of this Agreement, a “material weakness” in internal controls means a significant

deficiency, or a combination of significant deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected.

Section 4.8 Absence of Certain Changes or Events.

Except as disclosed in Section 4.9 of the Company Disclosure Schedule, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has any liabilities (whether absolute, accrued, contingent or otherwise and whether due or to become due), except liabilities (a) disclosed in the Company’s audited balance sheet (including any related notes thereto) as of June 28, 2014 included in the Company SEC Reports filed and publicly available prior to the date of this Agreement (the “Recent Company Balance Sheet”), (b) incurred since June 28, 2014 in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice, (c) reasonably incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or (d) that have not had, and would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect on the Company.

Section 5.1 Organization and Qualification; Subsidiaries.

(a) Each of Parent, Merger Sub and Successor Sub is a corporation or limited liability company duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the Laws of the State of Delaware and has the requisite corporate or limited liability company power and authority to own, lease and operate the properties it purports to own, operate or lease and to carry on its business as it is now being conducted. Each of Merger Sub and Successor Sub was formed solely for the purpose of engaging in the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, has not engaged in any business activities or conducted any operations other than in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and will have no assets, liabilities or obligations other than those contemplated by this Agreement.

Each of Parent and each of its Subsidiaries, including each of Merger Sub and Successor Sub, is duly qualified or licensed as a foreign entity to do business, and is in good standing, in each jurisdiction where the character of its

properties owned, leased or operated by it or the nature of its activities makes such qualification or licensing necessary, except for such failures to be so duly qualified or licensed and in good standing that would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect on Parent. A true and complete list of all of Parent’s Subsidiaries, together with the jurisdiction of organization of each Subsidiary and the percentage of each Subsidiary’s outstanding capital stock or ownership interests owned by Parent or another Subsidiary, is set forth in Section 5.1 of the Parent Disclosure Schedule. Except as set forth in Section 5.1 of the Parent Disclosure Schedule, Parent does not directly or indirectly own any equity or similar interest in, or any interest convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for, any equity or similar interest in, any corporation, partnership, joint venture or other business association or entity, excluding securities in any publicly traded company held for investment and comprising less than 2% of the outstanding stock of such company.

Section 6.2 Go-Shop; No Solicitation.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, from the date of this Agreement and continuing until 11:59 p.m. New York City time on the date which is 45 Business Days after the date of this Agreement (the “Go-Shop Period End Date”), the Company and its Subsidiaries and its and its Subsidiaries’ respective directors, officers and employees and any investment bankers, financial advisors, attorneys, accountants or other representatives retained by the Company or its Subsidiaries (the “Company Representatives”) shall have the right to directly or indirectly: (i) initiate, solicit and encourage any offer, proposal or inquiry relating to, or any third party indication of interest in, any Competing Proposal from one or more Persons, including by way of contacting third parties or public disclosure and by way of providing access to non-public information regarding, and affording access to the business, properties, assets, books, records and personal of the Company and its Subsidiaries, to any Person (each, a “Solicited Person”) pursuant to an executed confidentiality agreement on terms no less favorable to the Company than the Confidentiality Agreement; provided that the Company shall promptly (and in any event within 48 hours) provide to Parent all non-public information concerning the Company or its Subsidiaries delivered or made available to any Solicited Person to the extent such materials and information were not previously furnished or made available to Parent; and (ii) enter into and participate in discussions or negotiations regarding, and take any other action to encourage or facilitate any inquiries or the making of any offer or proposal that constitutes or would be reasonably likely to lead to, a Competing Proposal. Within one Business Day following the Go-Shop Period End Date, the Company shall notify Parent in writing of the material terms and conditions of any Competing Proposal (including any amendments or modifications thereof) received from any Excluded Party (as defined below) and the identity thereof.

(b) Except as expressly permitted by this Section 6.2, at 12:01 a.m. New York City time, on the day immediately following the Go-Shop Period End Date, the Company shall (i) immediately cease any activities permitted by Section 6.2(a) and any discussions or negotiations with any Person (other than Parent or any Excluded Party or any of their respective representatives or Affiliates) that are ongoing as of the Go-Shop Period End Date and that relate to a possible Competing Proposal, and (ii) terminate access to any physical or electronic data rooms relating to a possible Competing Proposal.

(c) Except as expressly contemplated by Section 6.2, from and after the date of this Agreement until the earlier of the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Article IX or the Closing, the Company shall not, and the Company shall cause its Subsidiaries and the Company Representatives not to, directly or indirectly through any Person, (i) solicit, initiate, facilitate or respond to, including by way of furnishing non-public information, any inquiries regarding or relating to, or the submission of, any Competing Proposal; (ii) engage or participate in any discussions or negotiations, furnish to any Person any information or data relating to the Company or its Subsidiaries or provide access to any of the properties, books, records or employees of the Company or its Subsidiaries, in each such case regarding or in a manner intending to facilitate the making of any proposal that constitutes, or may reasonably be expected to lead to, any Competing Proposal; provided that, in the case of the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), the Company may respond to an unsolicited inquiry or proposal by informing the applicable third party that the Company has entered into this Agreement and is subject to the restrictions set forth in this Agreement; (iii) enter into any letter of intent, memorandum of understanding, term sheet, agreement in principle, acquisition agreement, option agreement, merger agreement or other similar agreement or commitment with respect to any Competing Proposal (an “Alternative Acquisition Agreement”) or agree to, approve, endorse or resolve to recommend or approve any Competing Proposal; (iv) release any third party from, or waive any provisions of, any confidentiality or “standstill” or similar agreement in favor of the Company; or (v) take any action to exempt any third party from the restrictions set forth in Section 203 of the DGCL or otherwise cause such restrictions not to apply to any third party.

(d) Notwithstanding the limitations set forth in Section 6.2(c), if at any time on or after the date of this Agreement and prior to the receipt of the Company Stockholders’ Approval, the Company (or any of the Company Representatives) receives a Competing Proposal (in circumstances not involving a material breach of, or any action that is inconsistent with, this Section 6.2) that constitutes or the Board of Directors of the Company reasonably believes could be expected to result in a Superior Proposal, then the Company may (i) furnish non-public information to the third party making such Competing Proposal, if and only if, (A) prior to so furnishing such information, the Company and such third party execute a confidentiality agreement that contains confidentiality and standstill provisions that are no less favorable to the Company than those contained in the Confidentiality Agreement and that does not contain any provision calling for any exclusive right to negotiate with such Person or prohibiting the Company from satisfying its obligations under this Agreement, and (B) the Company provides to Parent any non-public information concerning the Company or its Subsidiaries that is provided or made available to any such third party (or its representatives) which had not previously been provided or made available to Parent within 48 hours after the Company provides or makes such non-public information available to such third party; and (ii) engage in discussions or negotiations with such third party with respect to the Competing Proposal; provided that within 48 hours following the Company taking such actions as described in clauses (i) or (ii) above, the Company shall provide written notice to Parent of such Competing Proposal; provided further that (x) such notice to Parent shall identify the Person making, and indicate in reasonable detail the terms and conditions of, such Competing Proposal, and (y) thereafter, the Company shall provide to Parent, within 48 hours, copies of any proposed Alternative Acquisition Agreements received in connection with such Competing Proposal (including any material amendments or modifications thereto). Promptly upon Parent’s written request (which may be made via e-mail), the Company shall keep Parent reasonably informed of the status and details of any Competing Proposal.

(e) For the avoidance of doubt, after the Go-Shop Period End Date until the receipt of the Company Stockholders’ Approval at the Company Stockholders’ Meeting, the Company may continue to take any of the actions described in Section 6.2(d) (subject to the limitations and obligations set forth herein) with respect to any bona fide written proposals or offers regarding any Competing Proposal submitted by a Solicited Person on or before the Go-Shop Period End Date if the Board of Directors of the Company believes in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel and a financial advisor, constitutes or would reasonably be expected to result in a Superior Proposal (each such Solicited Person, an “Excluded Party”); provided, that an Excluded Party shall cease to be an Excluded Party if such Person shall have delivered to the Company written notice that it is no longer contemplating consummating a Competing Proposal.

(f) Except as expressly contemplated by Sections 6.2(g)-(h) below, from and after the date of this Agreement until the earlier of the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Article IX or the Closing, neither the Board of Directors of the Company nor any committee thereof shall (i) withdraw (or change, amend, modify or qualify in a manner adverse to Parent, Merger Sub or Successor Sub), or publicly propose to withdraw (or change, amend, modify or qualify in a manner adverse to Parent, Merger Sub or Successor Sub), the Company Board Recommendation; (ii) approve or recommend, or publicly propose to approve or recommend, a Competing Proposal; or (iii) publicly make any communication inconsistent with the Company Board Recommendation (any action described in clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) being referred to as a “Change of Recommendation”).

(g) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Board of Directors of the Company may, at any time prior to obtaining the Company Stockholders’ Approval, if the Company receives a Competing Proposal (in circumstances not involving a material breach of, or any action that is materially inconsistent with, this Section 6.2) that the Board of Directors of the Company concludes in good faith constitutes a Superior Proposal:

(A) effect a Change of Recommendation; and/or

(B) terminate this Agreement;

provided, however, that the Board of Directors of the Company may not terminate this Agreement in accordance with the foregoing clause (B) except in connection with entering into a definitive agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal; provided, further, that the Board of Directors of the Company may not effect a Change of Recommendation pursuant to the foregoing clause (A) or terminate this Agreement pursuant to the foregoing clause (B) unless:

(x) the Company shall have provided prior written notice to Parent, at least 24 hours in advance of such Change of Recommendation or such termination (the “Notice Period”), of its intention to effect a Change of Recommendation in response to such Superior Proposal, or to terminate this Agreement to enter into a definitive agreement for such Superior Proposal, pursuant to this Section 6.2(g), which notice shall specify the material terms and conditions of such Superior Proposal (including the identity of the Person making such Superior Proposal);

(y) the Company and the Company Representatives shall have negotiated with Parent in good faith during the Notice Period to make such adjustments in the terms and conditions of this Agreement so that such Competing Proposal ceases to constitute a Superior Proposal; and

(z) the Board of Directors of the Company determines in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel, that the failure to effect such Change of Recommendation in response to such Superior Proposal, or to terminate this Agreement to enter into a definitive agreement for such Superior Proposal, would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under the DGCL (after taking into consideration any adjustments in the terms and conditions of this Agreement definitively offered by Parent pursuant to the foregoing clause (y)). Each time the financial or other material terms of a Superior Proposal subject to this clause (h) are amended, the Company shall be required to notify Parent as promptly as reasonably practicable of such amended terms and conditions, and the Notice Period shall be extended an additional one Business Day from the date of Parent’s receipt of such information.

(h) For purposes of this Agreement:

(i) “Competing Proposal” means any bona fide proposal, offer or indication of interest made by a third party, from the date of this Agreement through the date on which the Company obtains the Company Stockholders’ Approval, relating to any direct or indirect acquisition or purchase of 20% or more (by value) of the assets, net revenues, or net income of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or 20% or more of the combined voting power of the shares of Company Common Stock, any tender offer or exchange offer that if consummated would result in any Person beneficially owning 20% or more of the combined voting power of the shares of Company Common Stock or any merger, consolidation, business combination, recapitalization, liquidation, dissolution or similar transaction involving the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in which the other party thereto or its stockholders would own 20% or more of the combined voting power of the parent entity resulting from any such transaction, other than transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(ii) “Superior Proposal” means a Competing Proposal not solicited or initiated in material breach of Section 6.2(a) or (b) that the Board of Directors of the Company in good faith determines would, if consummated, result in a transaction that is (A) more favorable to the Company’s stockholders from a financial point of view than the transactions contemplated hereby, after taking into account any changes to the terms and conditions of this Agreement definitely offered by Parent during the Notice Period and (B) reasonably capable of being consummated on the terms proposed, taking into account all financial aspects and conditions to closing; provided that, for purposes of the definition of “Superior Proposal,” the references to “20% or more” in the definition of Competing Proposal shall be deemed to be references to “50% or more”.

(i) Nothing contained in this Section 6.2 shall prohibit the Company or the Board of Directors of the Company from (i) complying with its disclosure obligations under Rule 14e-2(a) promulgated under the Exchange Act, (ii) making a statement contemplated by Item 1012(a) of Regulation M-A or Rule 14d-9 promulgated under the Exchange Act with regard to a Competing Proposal or (iii) making any disclosure to its stockholders where the failure to make such disclosure would be inconsistent with the fiduciary duties of the

Board of Directors of the Company to the Company’s stockholders under the DGCL; provided, however, that (A) any such disclosure relating to a Competing Proposal (other than a “stop, look and listen communication” of the type contemplated by Rule 14d-9(f) or a disclosure which expresses no view of the Competing Proposal except that it is pending further consideration by the Company) shall be deemed to be a Change of Recommendation, unless the Board of Directors of the Company expressly publicly reaffirms the Company Board Recommendation in connection with such disclosure; and (B) nothing in this Section 6.2(i) shall be deemed to permit the Company or the Board of Directors of the Company (or any committee thereof) to make a Change of Recommendation, except to the extent and under the circumstances permitted by Section 6.2(g).

Section 6.3 Conduct of Business by Parent Pending the First Step Merger. Parent covenants and agrees that, except as expressly contemplated or required by this Agreement, or required by Law, during the period from the date of this Agreement and continuing until the earlier of the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Article IX or the Closing, unless the Company shall otherwise consent in writing (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), Parent shall, in all material respects, conduct its business and shall cause the businesses of its Subsidiaries to be conducted only in, and Parent and its Subsidiaries shall not take any action except in, the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice, and Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to preserve substantially intact the business organization of Parent and its Subsidiaries, to keep available the services of the present officers, key employees and key consultants of Parent and its Subsidiaries and to preserve the present relationships of Parent and its Subsidiaries with customers, suppliers and other Persons with which Parent or any of its Subsidiaries has material business relations, and Parent and its Subsidiaries shall not take any actions which would reasonably be expected to materially interfere with or delay the consummation of the Mergers or otherwise breach this Agreement. By way of amplification and not limitation, except as expressly contemplated or required by this Agreement, or required by Law, neither Parent nor any of its Subsidiaries shall, during the period from the date of this Agreement and continuing until the earlier of the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Article IX or the Closing, do any of the following without the prior written consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed):

(c) issue, sell, pledge, dispose of or encumber, or authorize the issuance, sale, pledge, disposition or encumbrance of, shares of capital stock of any class, or any options, warrants, convertible securities or other rights of any kind to acquire any shares of capital stock of any class, or any other ownership interest (including any phantom interest) in Parent or any of its Subsidiaries, except for (i) issuances of shares of Parent Common Stock or equity awards convertible into or exercisable for shares of Parent Common Stock pursuant to any of the Parent Employee Plans, (ii) issuances of shares of Parent Common Stock upon the exercise of any stock options or warrants outstanding as of the date of this Agreement in accordance with their terms, (iii) issuances of shares of Parent Common Stock under the Parent’s Dividend Reinvestment Plan, (iv) issuances of shares of Parent Common Stock in connection with acquisitions to the extent permitted pursuant to Section 6.3(e) below, and (v) issuances of the Parent Common Stock Consideration to former holders of Company Common Stock in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement;

(e) acquire (by merger, consolidation, or acquisition of stock or assets) any corporation, partnership or other business organization or division thereof (other than purchases of supplies and inventories in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice or any transaction solely between Parent and a wholly owned Subsidiary of Parent or between wholly owned Subsidiaries of Parent), other than any of the forgoing that would not reasonably be expected to delay or make it more difficult to obtain any authorization, consent or approval required in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and that would reasonably be expected to prevent or materially delay or impeded the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement;

(f) enter into or adopt a plan or agreement of complete or partial liquidation, dissolution, restructuring, recapitalization, merger, consolidation or other reorganization (other than transactions exclusively between wholly owned Subsidiaries of Parent); or

(g) take, or agree in writing or otherwise resolve to take, any of the actions described in Section 6.3(a)-(f) above, or knowingly take any action which would make any of the representations or warranties of Parent contained in this Agreement untrue or incorrect in any material respect or prevent Parent from performing or cause Parent not to perform its covenants hereunder.

Unless the Company shall have effected a Change of Recommendation, the Board of Directors of Parent shall recommend the approval of the Share Issuance in the Joint Proxy Statement, and neither the Board of Directors of Parent nor any committee thereof shall withdraw or modify, or propose to or resolve to withdraw or modify the Parent Board Recommendation.

(a) As of the First Step Effective Time, Parent shall: (i) cause the indemnification, advancement of expenses and exculpation provisions contained in the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of the First Step Surviving Corporation and the limited liability company agreement of the Surviving Entity to be at least as favorable to individuals who are now, or have been at any time prior to the date of this Agreement or who become prior to the Closing Date, a director, officer, agent or employee of the Company or its Subsidiaries or otherwise entitled to compulsory indemnification under the Company’s or such Subsidiary’s Bylaws or Certificate of Incorporation or Subsidiary Documents (an “Indemnified Party”), as those contained as of the date of this Agreement in the Bylaws and Certificate of Incorporation or Subsidiary Documents of the Company or such Subsidiary, respectively, (ii) not allow any amendment, modification or repeal of (A) any such provision in the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of the First Step Surviving Corporation or the limited liability company agreement of the Surviving Entity or (B) any indemnification contracts or other agreements between the Company and any Indemnified Party set forth or otherwise described on Section 7.8(a) of the Company Disclosure Schedule and (iii) shall cause such provisions and all such indemnification contracts or other agreements to be fully observed and complied with in all material respect for a period of six years from and after the Closing Date.

(b) For six years from and after the First Step Effective Time, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law, Parent, the First Step Surviving Corporation and the Surviving Entity (the “Indemnifying Parties”) shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless each Indemnified Party who was a director or officer of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries at or prior to the First Step Effective Time against all losses, claims,

damages, liabilities, fees and actual expenses, amounts paid in settlement, judgments and fines that may be imposed upon or incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding (whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative), threatened or initiated by reason of any actions or omissions in their capacity as a director or officer occurring at or prior to the First Step Effective Time (including in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement), unless the action or omission giving rise to the claim for indemnification is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to have constituted willful misconduct or recklessness. In addition, the Indemnifying Parties shall advance all expenses actually incurred by each such Indemnified Party who is or was a director or officer of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries at or prior to the First Step Effective Time for any legal or other out-of-pocket expenses reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with investigating or defending any such losses, claims, damages, liabilities, fees, out-of-pocket expenses, judgments and fines within 10 days after the receipt by Parent of a statement or statements from such Indemnified Party requesting such advance or advances from time to time, subject to Parent’s receipt of a written undertaking by such Indemnified Party to promptly repay such legal and other fees and expenses paid in advance if it is ultimately determined in a final and non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction that such Indemnified Party is not entitled to be indemnified hereunder or under applicable Law.

(c) In addition to the Indemnifying Parties’ indemnification obligations pursuant to this Section 7.8, prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall purchase a “tail” officers’ and directors’ liability insurance policy, which by its terms shall survive the Mergers and shall provide each Indemnified Party who was a director or officer of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries at or prior to the First Step Effective Time with coverage for not less than six years following the Effective Time on terms and conditions no less favorable than the terms of the directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy currently maintained by the Company in respect of actions or omissions of such officers and directors prior to the First Step Effective Time in their capacities as such; provided, however, that in no event shall the Company expend more than 250% of the current annual premium paid by the Company for such policy to purchase the “tail” policy (the “Maximum Amount”); provided, further, however, that if the amount of the annual premiums necessary to procure such insurance coverage exceeds the Maximum Amount, the Company shall spend up to the Maximum Amount to purchase such lesser coverage as may be obtained with such Maximum Amount.

(d) This Section 7.8 shall survive the consummation of the Mergers and continue in full force and effect and, from and after the First Step Effective Time, is intended to benefit, and shall be enforceable by, each Indemnified Party as a third-party beneficiary. During the periods set forth in this Section 7.8, Parent shall guarantee the obligations of the other Indemnifying Parties with respect to any and all amounts payable under this Section 7.8.

(e) In the event that the First Step Surviving Corporation, the Surviving Entity or Parent 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 of such consolidation or merger (including pursuant to the Second Step Merger) or (ii) transfers or conveys all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then in each such case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of the First Step Surviving Corporation, the Surviving Entity or Parent or the acquirer of the properties and assets thereof, as the case may be, shall succeed to the obligations set forth in this Section 7.8.

(f) The indemnification provided for herein shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which an Indemnified Party is entitled, whether pursuant to Law, contract or otherwise.

Section 7.9 Employee Matters.

(a) From and after the First Step Effective Time, Parent shall cause the First Step Surviving Corporation or the Surviving Entity, as applicable, and its Subsidiaries to honor in accordance with their terms, (i) all employment agreements and change in control agreements listed on Section 7.9 of the Company

Disclosure Schedule, except in the event the individuals covered under such agreements enter into new agreements with Parent that supersede or change the terms of such employment agreements and change-in control agreements listed on Section 7.9(a)(i) of the Company Disclosure Schedule, (ii) for a period of six months following the First Step Effective Time, the Company’s severance policy described on Section 7.9(a)(ii) of the Company Disclosure Schedule and (iii) for the duration of each such agreement, those severance agreements listed on Section 7.9(a)(iii) of the Company Disclosure Schedule.

(b) Employees shall receive credit for purposes of eligibility to participate, vesting, benefit accrual and eligibility to receive benefits, but excluding benefit accruals under any defined benefit pension plan or equity-based plans, under any employee benefit plan, program or arrangement established or maintained by Parent, the First Step Surviving Corporation or the Surviving Entity under which the employee may be eligible to participate on or after the First Step Effective Time to the same extent recognized by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries with respect to such employees under comparable Company Employee Plans and Non-U.S. Company Employee Plans immediately prior to the First Step Effective Time, but which shall not result in the duplication of benefits thereunder.

(c) The provisions of this Section 7.9 are for the sole benefit of the Parties to this Agreement and nothing herein, expressed or implied, is intended or shall be construed to confer upon or give to any Person (including for the avoidance of doubt any present or former employees or directors, consultants or independent contractors of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, Parent or any of its Subsidiaries, or on or after the First Step Effective Time, the First Step Surviving Corporation, the Surviving Entity or any of their Subsidiaries), other than the Parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns, any legal or equitable or other rights or remedies (with respect to the matters provided for in this Section 7.9) under or by reason of any provision of this Agreement. Nothing contained in this Section 7.9 shall (i) be treated as an amendment to any Company Employee Plan, Non-U.S. Company Employee Plan or Parent Employee Plan, or (ii) obligate Parent, the First Step Surviving Corporation, the Surviving Entity or any of their Affiliates to retain the employment of any particular employee or, maintain any particular plan, contract, arrangement, commitment or understanding or prevent Parent, the First Step Surviving Corporation, the Surviving Entity or any of their Affiliates from amending or modifying any particular plan, contract, arrangement, commitment or understanding in accordance with its terms and applicable Law.

Section 7.10 Stock Exchange Listing. Parent shall use all reasonable efforts to obtain, prior to the First Step Effective Time, the approval for listing on NASDAQ, effective upon official notice of issuance, of the shares of Parent Common Stock to be issued at the First Step Effective Time pursuant to Articles II and III.

Section 7.11 No Shelf Registration. Parent shall not be required to amend or maintain the effectiveness of the Registration Statement for the purpose of permitting resale of the shares of Parent Common Stock received pursuant hereto by the Persons who may be deemed to be “affiliates” of the Company or Parent within the meaning of Rule 145 promulgated under the Securities Act.

Section 7.12 Qualification as Reorganization for U.S. Federal Income Tax Purposes.

(a) Prior to the Closing, each Party hereto shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Mergers to qualify as a reorganization under the provisions of Section 368(a) of the Code, and shall not, without the prior written consent of the other Parties to this Agreement, intentionally take any actions, intentionally cause any actions to be taken or intentionally omit to take any action which such action or omission could prevent the Mergers from qualifying as such a reorganization.

(b) Parent and the Company shall cooperate with each other and use reasonable commercial efforts to obtain on or about the Closing Date the opinion of Jones Day, counsel to the Company, and the opinion of Squire Patton Boggs (US) LLP, counsel to Parent (each such counsel, “Tax Counsel”), each such opinion dated as of the Closing Date, substantially to the effect that, on the basis of the facts, representations and assumptions set forth

in such opinion, (i) the Mergers will qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code and (ii) the Company and Parent each will be a “party to the reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(b) of the Code.

(c) Parent and the Company shall cooperate with each other and use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain for inclusion in the Registration Statement and any amendment thereto, an opinion from each Tax Counsel, in such form as each Tax Counsel may deem appropriate, as to the tax consequences of the contemplated Mergers as may be required by the SEC in connection with the filing of such Registration Statement or any amendment thereto.

(d) Parent, Merger Sub, Successor Sub and the Company shall each provide reasonable cooperation to each Tax Counsel in connection with Tax Counsel’s rendering of its opinions pursuant to Sections 7.12(b) and 7.12(c), which shall include the provision of officers’ certificates setting forth such representations, covenants, data and such other information as may be reasonably requested by such Tax Counsel including, but not limited to, such information as may be necessary or appropriate to make a reasonable assessment as to compliance with the continuity of interest requirement under Section 368(a) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder. Neither Company nor Parent presently knows of any reason why the Company or Parent, as applicable, will not be able to deliver such certificates.

(e) If the tax opinion of both of the Tax Counsel referred to in Section 7.12(b) is obtained, then each of the Parties shall report the Mergers for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code. However, for the avoidance of doubt, obtaining the tax opinions of either or both of the Tax Counsel referred to in Section 7.12(b) shall not be a condition to any Party’s obligation to consummate the Mergers or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Section 7.13 Section 16 Matters. Prior to the First Step Effective Time, the Company shall take all such reasonable steps as may be required (to the extent permitted under applicable Law) to cause any dispositions of shares of Company Common Stock or Company Equity Awards (including derivative securities with respect to such shares) that are treated as dispositions under Rule 16b-(3) promulgated under the Exchange Act and resulting from the transactions contemplated by Article II by each individual who is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act with respect to the Company to be exempt under Rule 16b-(3) promulgated under the Exchange Act.

Section 7.14 Financing.

(a) Parent, Merger Sub and Successor Sub acknowledge and agree that (i) the Company and its Affiliates and its and their respective representatives shall not, prior to the First Step Effective Time, incur any liability to any Person under any financing (including the Debt Financing) that Parent, Merger Sub, Successor Sub or any of their Affiliates may raise in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any cooperation provided pursuant to this Section 7.14, Section 7.15 or otherwise and (ii) Parent, Merger Sub and Successor Sub shall, on a joint and several basis, indemnify and hold harmless the Company and its Affiliates and its and their respective stockholders, members, partners and other Company Representatives from and against any losses, damages, claims, costs or expenses suffered or incurred by any of them at any time in connection with the Debt Financing contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letter, the Financing, any information utilized in connection therewith and any cooperation provided pursuant to this Section 7.14, Section 7.15 or otherwise.

(b) Each of Parent, Merger Sub and Successor Sub shall use commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable to arrange and obtain the proceeds of the Debt Financing at or prior to the Closing on the terms and conditions described in the Debt Commitment Letter, including: (i) maintaining in effect the Debt Commitment Letter (including any definitive agreement entered into in connection therewith), (ii) negotiating and entering into definitive agreements with respect to the Debt Financing on the terms and conditions contained in the Debt Commitment

Letter as promptly as practicable after the date of this Agreement; (iii) satisfying, or causing their representatives to satisfy, when required by the Debt Commitment Letter all conditions applicable to Parent, Merger Sub, Successor Sub or their respective representatives to obtaining the Debt Financing; (iv) complying with their respective affirmative and negative covenants set forth in the Debt Commitment Letter; and (v) fully enforcing their respective rights under the Debt Commitment Letter, including causing the Financing Sources providing the Debt Financing to fund the Debt Financing at the Closing in accordance with the Debt Commitment Letter.

(c) None of Parent, Merger Sub or Successor Sub may agree to any amendments or modifications to or replacements of, or grant any waivers of, any condition or other provision or remedy under the Debt Commitment Letter without the prior written consent of the Company, which may be unreasonably refused if such amendments, modifications or waivers would (i) materially reduce the aggregate amount of the Debt Financing as provided in the Debt Commitment Letter as of the date of this Agreement, (ii) impose new or additional conditions, or otherwise amend, modify or expand any conditions, in each case, to the receipt by Parent or Merger Sub, as the case may be, at or prior to the closing of the Debt Financing, or (iii) in any material respect adversely delay or impact the ability of Parent to consummate the Mergers and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement or to consummate the Debt Financing at or prior to Closing; provided, however, that Parent may amend or modify the Debt Commitment Letter without the consent of the Company to add or change any immaterial term of the Debt Commitment Letter, add or replace lenders, lead arrangers, syndication agents or similar entities that had not executed the Debt Commitment Letter as of the date of this Agreement so long as such addition, replacement or change is not reasonably expected to, individually or in the aggregate, (i) delay or prevent the Closing or (ii) make the funding of the Debt Financing (or satisfaction of the conditions to obtaining the Debt Financing) at or prior to Closing less likely to occur. Parent shall not release or consent to the termination of the obligations of the Financing Sources under the Debt Commitment Letter, except for assignments and replacements of an individual lender in accordance with this Section 7.14. The parties to the Debt Commitment Letter (other than Parent, Merger Sub, Successor Sub and their respective Affiliates) and any additional or replacement lenders thereunder permitted hereby are referred to in this Agreement collectively as the “Financing Sources.” The Financing Sources, together with each of their respective Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors, attorneys and other representatives, are referred to in this Agreement collectively as the “Financing Source Related Parties.” As of the date of this Agreement, the only Financing Sources are Bank of America, N.A.

(d) In the event that the Debt Commitment Letter expires or terminates for any reason or any portion of the Debt Financing becomes reasonably likely to be unavailable on the terms and conditions, in the manner or from the Financing Sources, in each case, contemplated in the Debt Commitment Letter, (i) Parent shall within two days thereof so notify the Company in writing and (ii) as promptly as practicable following any such event (and in no event later than the Closing Date), Parent, Merger Sub and Successor Sub shall use commercially reasonable efforts to arrange and obtain, and to negotiate and enter into definitive agreements with respect to, alternative financing from alternative financial institutions in an amount sufficient to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and to pay the Required Amount, in each case, with conditions not materially less favorable, taken as a whole, to Parent, Merger Sub, Successor Sub and the Company than the conditions set forth in the Debt Commitment Letter (including a commitment termination date not earlier than the Drop Dead Date) (the “Alternate Financing”). The definitive agreements entered into pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 7.14(d) or Section 7.14(b)(ii) are referred to in this Agreement, collectively, as the “Financing Agreements.” The term “Debt Commitment Letter” will be deemed to include any commitment letters, together with all annexes, exhibits, schedules and attachments thereto, and all term sheets, engagement letters and fee letters related thereto, in each case, with respect to the Alternate Financing. Parent shall accept any such commitment letters for the Alternate Financing if the funding conditions and other terms and conditions contained therein are not materially adverse to Parent in comparison with those contained in the Debt Commitment Letter as in effect on the date of this Agreement.

(e) Parent shall (i) promptly furnish to the Company complete, correct and executed copies of the Financing Agreements and copies of any and all material written documentation pertaining to the availability of

the Debt Financing (or any Alternate Financing), (ii) give the Company written notice within two days of any withdrawal, termination, amendment, supplement or modification of the Debt Commitment Letter, of any developments, facts or circumstances that reasonably could be concluded to result in the inability of Parent to satisfy on a timely basis any term or condition of the Debt Commitment Letter required to be satisfied by Parent, or of any material breach or material threatened breach by any party of any of the Debt Commitment Letter or the Financing Agreements of which Parent, Merger Sub or Successor Sub becomes aware or any termination thereof, and (iii) otherwise keep the Company reasonably informed of the status of its efforts to arrange the Debt Financing (or any Alternate Financing).

Section 7.15 Financing Cooperation.

(a) Prior to the First Step Effective Time, the Company shall and shall cause its Subsidiaries to cooperate, and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause its officers, employees, representatives, auditors and advisors, including legal and accounting advisors, to cooperate, in connection with the arrangement of the Debt Financing, any debt payoff and/or any defeasance or satisfaction and discharge of existing indebtedness of the Company and/or any of its Subsidiaries, in each case, as may be reasonably requested by Parent and as will not unreasonably interfere with the ongoing operations of the Company and its Subsidiaries in any material respect, including: (i) participating in a reasonable number of meetings, drafting sessions, rating agency presentations, due diligence sessions, and “road show” and other customary marketing presentations; (ii) making available to any Financing Sources as promptly as practicable pertinent information in writing regarding the Company and its Subsidiaries as is reasonably requested by Parent in connection with the Debt Financing; (iii) assisting with the preparation by Parent or the Financing Sources of (A) one or more customary offering documents, information memoranda and/or documents in connection with the Debt Financing and (B) materials for rating agency presentations; (iv) executing and delivering customary pledge and security documents or other financing documents, a certificate of the chief financial officer of the Company with respect to solvency of the Company and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis to the extent reasonably required in connection with the Debt Financing, and other customary certificates or documents and back-up therefor and legal opinions as may be reasonably requested by Parent and otherwise facilitating the pledging of collateral, all such obligations under any such agreements to be subject to (and only effective following) the Closing and conditioned on the consummation of the Mergers; (v) taking all reasonably required corporate actions, subject to the consummation of the Mergers, to permit the consummation of the Debt Financing; (vi) providing customary authorization letters to any Financing Sources authorizing the distribution of information to prospective Financing Sources and containing customary representations to the arranger of any financing that the information contained in any offering document or information memorandum relating to the Company and its Subsidiaries does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; (vii) using commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with Parent and Parent’s efforts to obtain customary consents, landlord waivers and estoppels, non-disturbance agreements, non-invasive environmental assessments, legal opinions, surveys and title insurance (including providing reasonable access to Parent and its representatives to all of the Company’s Owned Real Property and all real property that the Company or any or any of its Subsidiaries leases, subleases or otherwise uses or occupies, or has the right to use or occupy, pursuant to a Lease) as reasonably requested by Parent; (viii) taking all actions reasonably necessary to permit the Financing Sources involved in the Debt Financing to evaluate the Company’s and each of its Subsidiaries’ current assets, cash management and accounting systems, policies and procedures relating thereto for the purpose of establishing collateral arrangements to the extent customary and reasonable; (ix) requesting customary payoff letters, lien terminations and instruments of discharge to be delivered at Closing to allow for the payoff, discharge and termination in full on the Closing Date of all indebtedness and liens under the Company’s financing facilities and arrangements, as reasonably requested by Parent; (x) making available to Parent and the Financing Sources promptly all documentation and other information required by any applicable Governmental Authority with respect to the Debt Financing under applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations; and (xi) cooperating reasonably with the Financing Sources’ due diligence of the Company and its Subsidiaries, to the extent customary and reasonable. Parent shall, promptly upon request of the Company, reimburse the Company for all reasonable, documented out-of-pocket expenses and costs incurred in

connection with the Company’s or its Affiliates’ obligations under this Section 7.15, provided however, that notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this clause (a) or any other provision of this Agreement, in no event shall Parent, Merger Sub, Successor Sub, the Financing Sources or any of their respective officers, directors, employees or representatives be permitted to contact any customer, vendor or supplier of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with the Mergers, the Share Issuance, the Debt Financing or the other transactions contemplated hereby without the Company’s prior written consent, which consent may not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, delayed or refused in any circumstance.

(b) In addition, prior to the First Step Effective Time, the Company shall, at the reasonable request of Parent: (i) use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause Grant Thornton LLP, independent accountants of the Company, to provide a letter or letters containing statements and information of the type ordinarily included in accountants’ “comfort letters” to underwriters with respect to financial statements and certain financial information used in connection with financings of the nature of the Debt Financing; (ii) use its commercially reasonable efforts to provide customary representation letters and other authorizations or information to Grant Thornton LLP, to enable them to provide the foregoing “comfort letters”; (iii) use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the consent of Grant Thornton LLP for the inclusion of its reports on the Company in any document or documents to be used in connection with the Debt Financing; and (iv) cause the appropriate representatives of the Company to execute and deliver any definitive financing documents or other certificates or documents as may be reasonably requested by Parent for delivery at the consummation of the Debt Financing at the Closing.

(c) All non-public or other confidential information provided or made available by the Company, its Subsidiaries or any of the Company Representatives pursuant to this Section 7.15 shall be kept confidential in accordance with the Confidentiality Agreement; provided that Parent, Merger Sub and Successor Sub shall be permitted to disclose such information to potential sources of capital, rating agencies, prospective lenders and investors and their respective representatives as reasonably required in connection with the Debt Financing so long as such Persons agree to be bound by the confidentiality and non-disclosure provisions of the Confidentiality Agreement or other customary confidentiality undertakings no less restrictive than the confidentiality and non-disclosure provisions of the Confidentiality Agreement.

(d) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall be required to pay any commitment or other similar fee or enter into any definitive agreement or incur any other liability of obligation in connection with the Debt Financing (or any Alternate Financing) prior to the First Step Effective Time. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall be required pursuant to this Section 7.15 to enter into or perform under any certificate, agreement, document or other instrument that is not contingent upon the Closing or that would be effective prior to the First Merger Effective Time (other than the authorization letters and representation letters referred to in Section 7.15(b)(ii) above). Notwithstanding the foregoing, under no circumstance shall the Company or its Subsidiaries be required to authorize (and Parent and none of Parent’s financing sources or any other lender to Parent is permitted to make), any pre-filing of any UCC-1’s or other documents which create liens. None of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall be required to take any action pursuant to this Section 7.15 that would subject it to actual or potential liability for which it would not be indemnified under this Agreement or to bear any cost or expense or to pay any commitment or other similar fee or make any other payment (other than reasonable out-of-pocket costs) or provide or agree to provide any indemnity in connection with the Debt Financing, any Alternate Financing or any of the foregoing prior to the First Step Effective Time.

Section 7.16 Litigation. Each of Parent and the Company shall promptly notify the other of any stockholder litigation against it or any of its directors or officers arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the Mergers or the other transactions contemplated hereby and shall keep the other reasonably informed regarding any such stockholder litigation. Each of Parent and the Company shall give the other reasonable opportunity to consult with it regarding the defense of any such stockholder litigation. The Company shall not settle any such stockholder litigation without the prior written consent of Parent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

Section 7.17 Rule 144. Upon the request of any beneficial owner of shares of Parent Common Stock received pursuant hereto who may be deemed to be an “affiliate” of the Company or Parent within the meaning of Rule 145 promulgated under the Securities Act to transfer any shares of Parent Common Stock in reliance on the provisions of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, such Person shall furnish Parent with a certificate containing factual representations as reasonably requested by Parent to support such Person’s reliance on Rule 144 and to support such Person’s reliance on any exemptions under any applicable state securities Laws relating to the registration or qualification of securities for sale. Upon receipt of such certificate, and assuming that all other conditions to reliance on Rule 144 and such exemptions under any applicable state Laws relating to the registration or qualification of securities for sale have been satisfied, Parent shall (a) cause its counsel to deliver a legal opinion stating that the proposed sale or other disposition of such securities may be effected without registration under the Securities Act and will not result in any violation of any applicable state securities Laws relating to the registration or qualification of securities for sale, and (b) after receipt of such legal opinion, take such actions as are reasonably necessary to effect such transfer of such securities.

Section 7.18 No Adverse Effect if Corporate Tax Imposed. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if any income Tax is imposed on any of Parent, Company, Merger Sub or Successor Sub as a result of the Mergers, then Parent and Successor Sub shall solely bear such Tax, and the imposition of such Tax shall not constitute a breach of any representation, warranty or covenant by any Party to this Agreement. This Section 7.18 shall survive the consummation of the Mergers.

(ii) Parent fails to call the Parent Stockholders’ Meeting in accordance with Section 7.2 or fails to deliver the Joint Proxy Statement to its stockholders in accordance with Section 7.2, and the principal or primary cause of such failure shall not be due to any material breach by the Company of any of its representations, warranties or covenants under this Agreement;

provided, however, that, unless the Company Stockholders’ Approval has been obtained, the Company shall not be permitted to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.3(c) if a Change of Recommendation shall have occurred and not been withdrawn prior to the occurrence of such Parent Triggering Event; and provided, further, that the Company shall not be permitted to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.3(c)(i) or 9.3(c)(ii) if (A) any material covenant of the Company contained in this Agreement shall have been breached in any material respect, and such breach shall not have been cured in all material respects, or (B) there shall be a material breach in any representation or warranty of the Company contained in this Agreement that shall not have been cured, in each case within 20 days after written notice thereof is given by Parent to the Company (in either case (A) or (B), such that the conditions set forth in Section 8.3(a) and 8.3(b) would be satisfied).

No termination of this Agreement shall affect the obligations of the Parties contained in the Confidentiality Agreement, all of which obligations shall survive in accordance with their terms.

(b) The Company shall pay to Parent a fee equal to the Company Termination Fee by wire transfer of immediately available funds on the date that the Company Termination Fee is due as provided below, in the event this Agreement is terminated:

(i) by Parent or the Company pursuant to Section 9.2(a) (solely in the event the Company Stockholders’ Meeting has not occurred), Section 9.2(b)(i) or Section 9.4(b) (solely as a result of a willful breach or an action or inaction done in bad faith by the Company) and, in each case, the following occurs:

(A) after the date of this Agreement, any third party makes a Competing Proposal to the Company that has become publicly known or publicly discloses or announces a bona fide intention to make a Competing Proposal, in each case, prior to either (1) with respect to any termination pursuant to Section 9.2(a) or Section 9.4(b), the date of such termination or (2) with respect to any termination pursuant to Section 9.2(b)(i), the date of the Company Stockholders’ Meeting; and

(B) within 12 months of such termination, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries enters into an Alternative Acquisition Agreement to consummate, or consummates, or approves or recommends to the stockholders of the Company, a Competing Proposal, in each case, which is consummated and which is from or with a third party that made, or publicly disclosed or announced a bona fide intention to make, a Competing Proposal during the time periods set forth in Sections 9.5(b)(i)(A)(1) or (2) above;

(ii) by the Company (A) pursuant to Section 9.2(b)(i) if at the time of such termination Parent could have terminated this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.4(a) or (B) pursuant to Section 9.3(a);

(iii) by Parent pursuant to Section 9.2(b)(i);

(iv) by Parent pursuant to Section 9.4(a); or

(v) by Parent pursuant to Section 9.4(b) (solely as a result of a willful breach or an action or inaction done in bad faith by the Company).

The Company shall pay Parent the Company Termination Fee no later than: (x) the date of consummation of (and as a condition precedent to the consummation of) the applicable Competing Proposal, in the case of clause (i) above; (y) on the date of termination of this Agreement in the case of clause (ii) above; and (z) two Business Days after termination of this Agreement in the case of clause (iii) above. Subject to Section 9.5(a), Parent, Merger Sub and Successor Sub agree that payment of the Company Termination Fee (together with applicable costs of collection, if any), if the Company Termination Fee is actually paid as provided herein, will be the sole and exclusive remedy of Parent, Merger Sub and Successor Sub or any of their respective financing sources, stockholders, members, directors, officers, employees, representatives or agents, upon termination of this Agreement in the circumstance described in this Section 9.5(b). For the avoidance of doubt and subject to Section 9.5(a), (1) in the event the Company Termination Fee is paid, under no circumstances will the Company or any of its former, current and future direct or indirect equity holders, controlling persons, stockholders, directors, officers, employees, agents, Affiliates, members, managers, general or limited partners or assignees be liable for monetary damages in excess of the Company Termination Fee (and any amounts payable to Parent pursuant to the last paragraph of Section 9.5(b) below) whether to Parent or any Affiliate thereof, and (2) while Parent may pursue both a grant of specific performance in accordance with Section 10.5 and the payment of the Company Termination Fee under Section 9.5(b), under no circumstances shall Parent be permitted or entitled to receive both a grant of specific performance and monetary damages, including all or any portion of the Company Termination Fee.

For purposes of this Section 9.5, references to “20% or more” in the definition of Competing Proposal shall be deemed to be references to “50% or more.” “Company Termination Fee” means (x) an amount equal to $1,600,000 plus Expense Reimbursement of Parent, if the Company Termination Fee becomes payable in connection with the termination of this Agreement (1) by the Company pursuant to Section 9.3(a) in connection

with a Superior Proposal made by an Excluded Party or (2) by Parent pursuant to Section 9.4(a) in connection with a Change of Recommendation on account of a Superior Proposal made by an Excluded Party, (y) Expense Reimbursement of Parent in connection with termination of this Agreement by Parent pursuant to Section 9.2(b)(i) (if a Company Termination Fee is not otherwise payable pursuant to Section 9.5(b)(ii)(A)), or (z) an amount equal to $4,800,000 without any Expense Reimbursement, in all other circumstances. “Expense Reimbursement” means an amount equal to all of the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses, including those of the Exchange Agent and its representatives, incurred by a Party and its Subsidiaries in connection with this Agreement and the transaction contemplated by the Agreement up to a maximum of, in the case of expenses of Parent, $1,600,000, and in the case of expenses of the Company, $1,000,000. In the event any Company Transaction Fee is or becomes payable after the time the Company pays any Expense Reimbursement (other than in the case of a Company Transaction Fee payable in respect of a termination (1) by the Company pursuant to Section 9.3(a) in connection with a Superior Proposal made by an Excluded Party, or (2) by Parent pursuant to Section 9.4(a) in connection with a Change or Recommendation on account of a Superior Proposal made by an Excluded Party) the amount of the Company Termination Fee payable by the Company shall be reduced by the amount of the Expense Reimbursement actually paid.

The Company acknowledges that the agreements contained in this Section 9.5(b) are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and that, without these agreements, Parent, Merger Sub and Successor Sub would not enter into this Agreement. If the Company fails to pay the Company Termination Fee in accordance with this Section 9.5(b) and, in order to obtain such payment, Parent commences a suit that results in a judgment against the Company, the Company shall pay to Parent its reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred in connection with such suit, together with interest on the amount of the Company Termination Fee from the date such payment was required to be made until the date of payment at the prime rate as announced in The Wall Street Journal in effect on the date such payment was required to be made, after delivery to the Company of reasonable documentation evidencing such costs and expenses.

(c) Parent shall pay to the Company a fee equal to the Parent Termination Fee as provided below in the event this Agreement is terminated:

(i) by the Company pursuant to Section 9.3(b) (solely as a result of a willful breach or an action or inaction done in bad faith by Parent) or Section 9.3(c);

(ii) by Parent pursuant to Section 9.2(b)(ii) if at the time of such termination the Company could have terminated this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.3(c); or

(iii) by the Company pursuant to Section 9.2(b)(ii) (if a Parent Termination Fee is not otherwise payable pursuant to Sections 9.5(c)(i) or (c)(ii)).

“Parent Termination Fee” means an amount in cash equal to $9,600,000, except in the event a Parent Termination Fee is payable pursuant to Section 9.5(c)(iii), in which case Parent Termination Fee means Expense Reimbursement of the Company. The Parent Termination Fee shall be paid within two Business Days of such termination, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to one or more accounts designated by the Company. Subject to Section 9.5(a), the Company agrees that, payment of the Parent Termination Fee if the Parent Termination Fee is actually paid as provided herein, will be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Company (including, without limitation, as against the Financing Sources and the Financing Source Related Parties) upon termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.5(c). For the avoidance of doubt and subject to Section 9.5(a), (1) in the event the Parent Termination Fee is paid, under no circumstances will Parent, Merger Sub, Successor Sub, the Financing Sources and any of their respective former, current and future direct or indirect equity holders, controlling persons, stockholders, directors, officers, employees, agents, Affiliates, members, managers, general or limited partners or assignees be liable for monetary damages in excess of the Parent Termination Fee (and any amounts payable to the Company pursuant to the last paragraph of Section 9.5(c) below) whether to the Company or any Affiliate thereof, (2) while the Company may pursue both

a grant of specific performance in accordance with Section 10.5 and the payment of the Parent Termination Fee under Section 9.5(c), under no circumstances shall the Company be permitted or entitled to receive both a grant of specific performance and monetary damages, including all or any portion of the Parent Termination Fee, and (3) under no circumstances will any Financing Source have any liability hereunder to the Company or any Affiliate thereof.

Parent, Merger Sub and Successor Sub acknowledge that the agreements contained in this Section 9.5(c) are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and that, without these agreements, the Company would not enter into this Agreement. If Parent fails to pay the Parent Termination Fee in accordance with this Section 9.5(c) and, in order to obtain such payment, the Company commences a suit that results in a judgment against Parent for the Parent Termination Fee, Parent shall pay to the Company its reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred in connection with such suit, together with interest on the amount of the Parent Termination Fee from the date such payment was required to be made until the date of payment at the prime rate as announced in The Wall Street Journal in effect on the date such payment was required to be made, after delivery to the Company of reasonable documentation evidencing such costs and expenses.

(d) In the event a Company Termination Fee and a Parent Termination Fee is payable at the same time, such fees will be set off against one another, with the only payment required to be made being the net fee payable as a result of such set off.

Section 9.6 Amendments; Waivers. At any time prior to the First Step Effective Time, any provision of this Agreement may be amended or waived if, and only if, such amendment or waiver is in writing and signed, in the case of an amendment, by the Company, Parent, Merger Sub and Successor Sub, or in the case of a waiver, by the Party against whom the waiver is to be effective; provided, however, that Sections 9.5(c), 10.5, 10.8, 10.10, 10.11 and 10.12 and this Section 9.6 may not be amended in any manner that would be material and adverse to the Financing Sources without the prior written consent of the Financing Sources (which such written consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); provided, further, that after receipt of the Company Stockholders’ Approval, if any such amendment or waiver shall by applicable Law or in accordance with the rules and regulations of NASDAQ require further approval of the stockholders of the Company, the effectiveness of such amendment or waiver shall be subject to the approval of the stockholders of the Company. At any time prior to the First Step Effective Time, any Party may, subject to applicable Law, (a) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties of any other Party, (b) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or acts of any other Party or (c) waive compliance by any other Party with any of the agreements contained herein or, except as otherwise provided herein, waive any of such Party’s conditions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no failure or delay by the Company, Parent, Merger Sub or Successor Sub in exercising any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise of any other right hereunder.

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, including the provisions of this Section 10.5, the Company shall not be entitled to seek and obtain specific performance of Parent’s, Merger Sub’s and Successor Sub’s obligation to consummate the Closing and effect the Mergers in accordance with Section 1.3 unless (a) the Debt Financing (or Alternate Financing) is available, or will be available, at the Closing if Parent, Merger Sub and Successor Sub were to proceed with the Closing, and (b) all of the conditions set forth in Section 8.1 and Section 8.3 have been satisfied and continue to be satisfied (other than those conditions that by their nature cannot be satisfied other than at the Closing) and the Company has indicated in writing that the Company is ready, willing and able to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided, however, whether or not the Debt Financing (or Alternate Financing) is available, nothing in this Agreement shall prevent the Company from being entitled to and obtaining specific performance by the other Parties of any pre-Closing covenant, agreement or obligation of any such Party.

Section 10.6 Headings. The headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

Section 10.7 Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of Law or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner adverse to any Party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner to the end that the transactions contemplated hereby are fulfilled to the maximum extent possible.

Section 10.8 Entire Agreement; No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement, together with the Company Disclosure Schedule, the Parent Disclosure Schedule and the Confidentiality Agreement constitute the entire agreement and, except as expressly set forth herein, supersede any and all other prior agreements and undertakings, both written and oral, among the Parties, or any of them, with respect to the subject matter hereof and, are not intended to confer upon any Person, other than the Company, Parent, Merger Sub and Successor Sub, any rights or remedies, except that (a) the provisions of Article III shall be enforceable by holders of Certificates and Book-Entry Shares, (b) the provisions of Section 7.8 shall be enforceable by Indemnified Parties to the extent provided therein and (c) the provisions of Section 9.5(c) (to the extent provided for in the parenthetical referring to the Financing Sources and the Financing Source Related Parties), Sections 9.6, 10.10, 10.11 and 10.12 shall be enforceable by the Financing Sources and the Financing Source Related Parties. The Parties further agree that the rights of third party beneficiaries under Article III and Section 7.8 shall not arise unless and until the First Step Effective Time occurs. The representations and warranties in this Agreement are the product of negotiations among the Parties and are for the sole benefit of the Parties. Any inaccuracies in such representations and warranties are subject to waiver by the Parties in accordance with Section 9.6 without notice or liability to any other Person. In some instances, the representations and warranties in this Agreement may represent an allocation among the Parties of risks associated with particular matters regardless of the knowledge of any of the Parties. Consequently, Persons other than the Parties may not rely upon the representations and warranties in this Agreement as characterizations of actual facts or circumstances as of the date of this Agreement or as of any other date. The Parties acknowledge and agree that, in addition to the Parties’ respective rights under Section 10.5, nothing in this Agreement is intended to preclude a Party that has sought and been unable to obtain the relief contemplated by Section 10.5 from asserting that its measure of damages for fraud or intentional breach of any covenant or agreement in this Agreement by another Party includes the loss of economic benefits to the holders of such Party’s common stock.

Section 10.9 Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations of any Party hereunder shall be assigned by any of the Parties (whether by operation of Law or otherwise) without the prior written consent of the other Party. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement shall be binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

Section 10.10 Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Venue. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the Laws of the State of Delaware, regardless of the Laws that might otherwise govern under applicable principles of conflicts of law thereof. For all actions, suits and proceedings arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the Parties hereby irrevocably and unconditionally (a) consent to the personal jurisdiction of any state or federal court of competent jurisdiction located in the City of Wilmington in the State of Delaware and (b) waive any defense or objection to proceeding in such court, including those objections and defenses based on an alleged lack of personal jurisdiction, improper venue and forum non-conveniens. The Parties acknowledge that all directions issued by any such court, including all injunctions and other decrees, will be binding and enforceable in all jurisdictions and countries. Process in any such suit, action or proceeding may be served on any Party anywhere in the world, whether within or without the jurisdiction of any such court. Without limiting the foregoing, each Party agrees that service of process on such Party as provided in Section 10.2 shall be deemed effective service of process on such Party.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, each of the parties further acknowledges and agrees that it will not bring or support any action, cause of action, claim, cross-claim or third-party claim of any kind or description, whether in law or in equity, whether in contract or in tort or otherwise, against the Financing Sources or any Financing Source Related Party in any way relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including but not limited to any dispute arising out of or relating in any way to the Debt Commitment Letter or the performance thereof, in any forum other than the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York, or the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (and appellate courts thereof).

Section 10.11 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, OR THE MERGERS AND THE OTHER TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, WITH RESPECT TO ANY CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION AGAINST ANY FINANCING SOURCE OR FINANCING SOURCE RELATED PARTY). EACH PARTY CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (a) NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER, (b) EACH PARTY UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF THIS WAIVER, (c) EACH PARTY MAKES THIS WAIVER VOLUNTARILY, AND (d) EACH PARTY HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 10.11.

Section 10.12 Claims against Financing Sources. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (a) neither the Company nor any of its stockholders, Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, agents or representatives will have any rights or claims against the Financing Sources in connection with this Agreement, the Debt Financing, the Debt Commitment Letter or the Financing Agreements, whether at law or equity, in contract or tort or otherwise and (b) the Company agrees not to commence any action or proceeding against any Financing Source in connection with this Agreement or any transaction contemplated hereby (including any action or proceeding related to the Debt Financing, the Debt Commitment Letters or the Financing Agreements). In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, it is agreed that no Financing Source shall have any liability

to the Company (or its stockholders, Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, agents or representatives) for any claims, losses, settlements, liabilities, damages, costs, expenses, fines or penalties in connection with this Agreement or any transaction contemplated hereby (including any action or proceeding related to the Debt Financing, the Debt Commitment Letter or the Financing Agreements). Nothing in this Section shall in any way limit or qualify the obligations and liabilities of the parties to the Debt Commitment Letter or the Financing Agreements to each other thereunder.

Section 10.13 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, and by the different Parties in separate counterparts, each of which when executed shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which shall constitute one and the same agreement.

Section 10.14 Interpretation. The words “hereof,” “herein” and “hereunder” and words of similar import when used in this Agreement shall refer to this Agreement as a whole and the Company Disclosure Schedule and Parent Disclosure Schedule and not to any particular provision of this Agreement, and Section references are to this Agreement unless otherwise specified. References to any statute, rule or regulation are to the statute, rule or regulation as amended, modified, supplemented or replaced from time to time (and, in the case of any statutes, include any rules and regulations promulgated under said statutes) and to any section of any statute, rule or regulation include an successor to said section. Whenever the words “include,” “includes” or “including” are used in this Agreement, they shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation.” Unless the context otherwise requires, “or” is not exclusive. The definitions contained in this Agreement are applicable to the singular as well as the plural forms of such terms and to the masculine as well as to the feminine and neuter genders of such term.

Form of Lock-Up

[LETTERHEAD OF SIGNATORY IF APPLICABLE]

May 3, 2015

PMFG, Inc.

14651 North Dallas Parkway

Suite 500

Dallas, Texas 75254

Ladies and Gentlemen:

In connection with the Agreement and Plan of Merger, of even date herewith (as the same may be amended from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”), entered into by and among PMFG, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), CECO Environmental Corp., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), Top Gear Acquisition Inc., a Delaware corporation, and Top Gear Acquisition II LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, the undersigned, a holder of Parent Common Stock, hereby agrees to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Lock-Up Agreement (this “Agreement”), effective upon the First Step Effective Time (the “Closing”). Terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Merger Agreement.

To induce the Company to enter into the Merger Agreement and to effect the Closing, the undersigned agrees that the undersigned will not, for a period commencing on the Closing Date and ending one hundred eighty (180) days after the Closing Date (the “Lock-Up Period”), (1) offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, grant any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, or otherwise dispose of, directly or indirectly, or (2) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of any shares of Parent Common Stock, or any options or warrants to purchase any shares of Parent Common Stock, or any securities convertible into, exchangeable for or that represent the right to receive shares of Parent Common Stock, whether owned as of the Closing Date or thereafter acquired during the Lock-Up Period, owned directly by the undersigned (including holding as a custodian) or with respect to which the undersigned has beneficial ownership within the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (collectively, the “Undersigned’s Shares”), whether any such transaction described in clause (1) or (2) above is to be settled by delivery of the Undersigned’s Shares or such other securities, in cash or otherwise. The foregoing restrictions are expressly agreed to preclude the undersigned from engaging in any hedging or other transaction during the Lock-Up Period that is designed to or that reasonably could be expected to lead to or result in a sale or disposition of the Undersigned’s Shares even if such shares would be disposed of by someone other than the undersigned. Such prohibited hedging or other transactions would include, without limitation, any short sale or any purchase, sale or grant of any right (including, without limitation, any put or call option) with respect to any of the Undersigned’s Shares or with respect to any security that includes, relates to, or derives any significant part of its value from such shares.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement will not prohibit the undersigned from (a) exercising options and/or warrants owned by the undersigned as of the Closing Date that are exercisable for shares of Parent Company Stock, it being understood, acknowledged and agreed that the shares of Parent Common Stock acquired by the undersigned in connection therewith shall be subject to this Agreement; (b) entering into a plan adopted pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, to the extent that such plan does not allow for any transaction restricted by this Agreement during the Lock-Up Period; or (c) making (i) bona fide gifts of the Undersigned’s Shares to family members or family trusts, (ii) any transfer by will or intestacy in case of death or (iii) any transfer of the Undersigned’s Shares for estate planning purposes to persons immediately related to such transferor by blood, marriage or adoption, or any trust solely for the benefit of such transferor and/or the persons described in the preceding clause, provided, however, that with respect to each of the transfers described in clause (c) of this sentence, prior, and as a condition precedent, to such transfer, the transferee, or the trustee or legal guardian on behalf of any transferee, agrees in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement. For purposes hereof, “immediate family” shall mean any relationship by blood, marriage or

adoption, not more remote than first cousin (including, without limitation, lineal descendants, stepchildren, father, mother, brother, sister of the undersigned or the undersigned’s spouse). In addition to the foregoing, in the event the undersigned is an entity rather than an individual, this Agreement will not prevent any transfer of any or all of the Undersigned’s Shares to the stockholders of such entity, if it is a corporation, to the members of such entity, if it is a limited liability company, or to the partners of such entity, if it is a partnership; provided, however, that in each such case, it shall be a condition to the transfer that such transferee agrees in writing prior to such transfer to be bound by the terms of this Agreement.

In addition, the undersigned agrees that the undersigned will not, during the Lock-Up Period, make any demand for or exercise any right with respect to, the registration of any of the Undersigned’s Shares or any securities convertible into, exercisable for, or exchangeable for the Undersigned’s Shares.

The undersigned also agrees and consents to the entry of stop transfer instructions with the Parent’s transfer agent and registrar relating to the transfer of the Undersigned’s Shares, except in compliance with the restrictions described above. In furtherance of the foregoing, Parent and its transfer agent are hereby authorized to decline to make any transfer of securities if such transfer would constitute a violation or breach of this Agreement. Except for that certain Voting Agreement among the undersigned, certain other shareholders of Parent and the Company, dated as of the date hereof, the undersigned now has, and, except as contemplated and permitted by the third paragraph of this Agreement, for the duration of this Agreement will have, good and marketable title to the Undersigned’s Shares, free and clear of all liens, encumbrances and claims whatsoever.

The undersigned understands that the Company will proceed to effect the Closing of the Mergers in reliance upon this Agreement. This Agreement is irrevocable, may not be amended or modified in any manner, and shall be binding upon the undersigned and the heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns of the undersigned. Moreover, the undersigned understands and agrees that the Company is relying upon the accuracy, completeness, and truth of the undersigned’s representations, warranties, agreements, and certifications contained in this Agreement. The undersigned further understands and agrees that the Closing of the Mergers is intended to and will provide material economic benefit to the undersigned.

If for any reason the Merger Agreement shall be terminated prior to the Closing of the Mergers, then this Agreement shall terminate, cease to be of any further force or effect, and the undersigned and the Undersigned’s Shares shall be released from any and all obligations hereunder.

This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the Laws of the State of Delaware, regardless of the Laws that might otherwise govern under applicable principles of conflicts of law thereof.

WHEREAS, as a condition to its willingness to enter into the Merger Agreement, the Company has required that the Stockholders execute and deliver this Agreement; and

WHEREAS, in order to induce the Company to enter into the Merger Agreement, the Stockholders are willing to make certain representations, warranties, covenants and agreements with respect to the applicable shares of Parent Common Stock beneficially owned by such Stockholders (the “Original Shares” and, together with any additional shares of Parent Common Stock acquired pursuant to Section 5 hereof, the “Shares”). Any reference herein to “Original Shares” with respect to a particular Stockholder shall mean the shares of Parent Common Stock set forth below such Stockholder’s signature on the signature page hereto.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt, sufficiency and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

2.	Representations of Stockholder.

Each Stockholder represents and warrants to the Company that:

(a) (i) Such Stockholder owns beneficially (as such term is defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) all of the Original Shares free and clear of all security interests, liens, claims, pledges, limitations in the Stockholder’s voting rights, charges or other encumbrances of any nature whatsoever (“Encumbrances”) (except any Encumbrances arising under securities laws or under this Agreement), and (ii) except pursuant to this Agreement and that certain lockup letter agreement dated the date hereof delivered by such Stockholder to the Company, there are no options, warrants or other rights, agreements, arrangements or commitments of any character to which such Stockholder is a party relating to the pledge, disposition or voting of any of the Original Shares and there are no voting trusts or voting agreements with respect to the Original Shares, in each case, which are inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement.

(b) Such Stockholder does not beneficially own any shares of Parent Common Stock other than (i) the Original Shares and (ii) any options, warrants or other rights to acquire any additional shares of Parent Common Stock or any security exercisable for or convertible into shares of Parent Common Stock, set forth on the signature page of this Agreement (collectively, “Options”).

(c) Such Stockholder has full power and authority and legal capacity to enter into, execute and deliver this Agreement and to perform fully such Stockholder’s obligations hereunder (including the proxy described in Section 3 below). This Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by such Stockholder and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of such Stockholder, enforceable against such Stockholder in accordance with its terms, subject to the Bankruptcy and Equity Exceptions.

(d) None of the execution and delivery of this Agreement by such Stockholder, the consummation by such Stockholder of the transactions contemplated hereby or compliance by such Stockholder with any of the provisions hereof will conflict with or result in a breach, or constitute a default (with or without notice of lapse of time or both) under any provision of, any trust agreement, loan or credit agreement, note, bond, mortgage, indenture, lease or other agreement, instrument or Law applicable to such Stockholder or to such Stockholder’s property or assets.

(e) No consent, approval or authorization of, or designation, declaration or filing with, any Governmental Authority or other Person on the part of such Stockholder is required in connection with the valid execution and delivery of this Agreement, other than the filing of a Schedule 13D/A with the Securities and Exchange Commission. No consent of such Stockholder’s spouse is necessary under any “community property” or other laws in order for such Stockholder to enter into and perform its obligations under this Agreement.

(f) Such Stockholder understands and acknowledges that the Company is entering into the Merger Agreement in reliance upon such Stockholder’s execution and delivery of this Agreement and the representations and warranties and covenants of such Stockholder contained herein.

(g) The Closing of the Mergers is intended to and will provide material economic benefit to such Stockholder.

3.	Agreement to Vote Shares; Irrevocable Proxy.

(a) Each Stockholder agrees during the term of this Agreement to vote the Shares, and to cause any holder of record of the Shares to vote or execute a written consent or consents if the stockholders of Parent are requested to vote their shares through the execution of an action by written consent in lieu of any such annual or special meeting of the stockholders of Parent: (i) in favor of the issuance by Parent of the Parent Common Stock Consideration to be issued in connection with the Closing of the Mergers and any other action required to consummate the Mergers that may be submitted to a vote of the stockholders of Parent, at every meeting (or in connection with any action by written consent) of the stockholders of Parent at which such matters are considered and at every adjournment or postponement thereof; (ii) against (1) any action, proposal, transaction or agreement

which could reasonably be expected to result in a breach of any covenant, representation or warranty or any other obligation or agreement of Parent, Merger Sub or Successor Sub under the Merger Agreement or of Stockholder under this Agreement and (2) any action, proposal, transaction or agreement that could reasonably be expected to impede or materially interfere with, delay, discourage, adversely affect or inhibit the timely consummation of the Mergers or the fulfillment of Parent’s, the Company’s, Merger Sub’s or Successor Sub’s conditions under the Merger Agreement or change in any manner the voting rights of any class of shares of Parent (including by way of any amendments to Parent’s Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws).

Each Stockholder shall retain at all times the right to vote its Shares in its sole discretion and without any other limitation on those matters other than those set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) that are at any time or from time to time presented for consideration to Parent’s stockholders generally. For the avoidance of doubt, clauses (i) and (ii) shall not apply to votes, if any, solely on the election or removal of directors as recommended by Parent’s board of directors.

(b) Each Stockholder hereby appoints the Company and any designee of the Company, and each of them individually, its proxies and attorneys-in-fact, with full power of substitution and resubstitution, to vote or act by written consent during the term of this Agreement with respect to the Shares, but only to the extent provided in and with respect to the matters described in Section 3(a). This proxy and power of attorney is given to secure the performance of the duties of such Stockholder under this Agreement. Each Stockholder shall take such further action or execute such other instruments as may be reasonably necessary to effectuate the intent of this proxy. This proxy and power of attorney granted by each Stockholder shall be irrevocable during the term of this Agreement, shall be deemed to be coupled with an interest sufficient in law to support an irrevocable proxy, is intended to be irrevocable during the term of this Agreement in accordance with the provisions of Section 212 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, and shall revoke any and all prior proxies granted by such Stockholder with respect to the Shares (but only with respect to the matters set forth in Section 3(a)); provided that such Stockholder may grant subsequent proxies with respect to any matter other than those specified in Section 3(a). The power of attorney granted by each Stockholder herein is a durable power of attorney and shall survive the dissolution, bankruptcy, death or incapacity of such Stockholder. The proxy and power of attorney granted hereunder shall terminate automatically upon the termination of this Agreement.

Each Stockholder agrees that such Stockholder will not, and will not permit any entity under such Stockholder’s control to, deposit any of the Shares in a voting trust, grant any proxies with respect to the Shares or subject any of the Shares to any arrangement with respect to the voting of the Shares, in each case, that would be inconsistent with Section 2 above, other than agreements entered into with the Company.

4.	Transfer and Encumbrance.

Each Stockholder agrees that during the term of this Agreement, such Stockholder shall not Transfer any of the Shares or enter into any contract, option or other agreement with respect to, or consent to, a Transfer of, any of the Shares or such Stockholder’s economic interest therein. Any attempted Transfer of Shares or any interest therein in violation of this Section 4 shall be null and void.

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, this Agreement will not prohibit any Stockholder from (a) exercising options and/or warrants owned by such Stockholder that are exercisable for shares of Parent Company Stock, it being understood, acknowledged and agreed that the shares of Parent Common Stock acquired by such Stockholder in connection therewith shall be subject to this Agreement as “Shares”; (b) entering into a plan adopted pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, to the extent that such plan does not allow for any Transfer of Shares during the term of this Agreement; or (c) making (i) bona fide gifts of such Stockholder’s Shares to family members or family trusts, (ii) any transfer by will or intestacy in case of death or (iii) any Transfer of such Stockholder’s Shares for estate planning purposes to persons immediately related to such transferor by blood, marriage or adoption, or any trust solely for the benefit of such transferor and/or the persons described in the preceding clause, provided, however,

that with respect to each of the Transfers described in clause (c) of this sentence, prior, and as a condition precedent, to such transfer, the transferee, or the trustee or legal guardian on behalf of any transferee, agrees in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement. For purposes hereof, “immediate family” shall mean any relationship by blood, marriage or adoption, not more remote than first cousin (including, without limitation, lineal descendants, stepchildren, father, mother, brother, sister of the applicable Stockholder or the applicable Stockholder’s spouse). In addition to the foregoing, in the event a Stockholder is an entity rather than an individual, this Agreement will not prevent any transfer of any or all of such Stockholder’s Shares to the stockholders of such entity, if it is a corporation, to the members of such entity, if it is a limited liability company, or to the partners of such entity, if it is a partnership; provided, however, that in each such case, it shall be a condition to the transfer that such transferee agrees in writing prior to such transfer to be bound by the terms of this Agreement.

5.	Additional Shares.

Each Stockholder agrees that all shares of Parent Common Stock that such Stockholder purchases, acquires the right to vote or otherwise acquires beneficial ownership (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) of after the execution of, and prior to the termination of, this Agreement shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement and shall constitute Shares for all purposes of this Agreement.

6.	Termination.

This Agreement shall terminate upon the earliest to occur of (a) the First Step Effective Time, (b) the date on which the Merger Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms, and (c) the mutual agreement of the Company and the Stockholders to terminate this Agreement; provided, however, that (i) Section 11 shall survive the termination of this Agreement, and (ii) the termination of this Agreement shall not relieve the Stockholders from any liability for any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation, warranty, or covenant contained in this Agreement.

7.	No Agreement as Director or Officer.

Each Stockholder makes no agreement or understanding in this Agreement in such Stockholder’s capacity as a director or officer of Parent or any of its subsidiaries (if such Stockholder holds any such directorship or office), and nothing in this Agreement: (a) will limit or affect any actions or omissions taken by such Stockholder in such Stockholder’s capacity as such a director or officer, including in exercising rights under the Merger Agreement, and no such actions or omissions shall be deemed a breach of this Agreement or (b) will be construed to prohibit, limit or restrict such Stockholder from exercising such Stockholder’s fiduciary duties as an officer or director of Parent or its stockholders.

8.	Specific Performance.

Each party hereto acknowledges that it may be difficult to measure in money the damage to the other party if a party hereto fails to comply with any of the obligations imposed by this Agreement and that, in the event of any such failure, the other party may not have an adequate remedy at law or damages. Accordingly, each party hereto agrees that each other party may seek injunctive relief or other equitable remedies, in addition to remedies at law or damages, for any such failure. Each party hereto agrees that it will not seek, and agrees to waive any requirement for, the securing or posting of a bond in connection with the other party’s seeking or obtaining such equitable relief.

9.	Entire Agreement.

This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements, written or oral, between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and contains the entire agreement between and among the parties with respect to the

subject matter hereof. This Agreement may not be amended or supplemented, and no provisions hereof may be modified or waived, except by an instrument in writing signed by each of the parties hereto. No waiver of any provisions hereof by any party shall be deemed a waiver of any other provisions hereof by such party, nor shall any such waiver be deemed a continuing waiver of any provision hereof by such party.

10.

Notices.

All notices, consents, requests, claims and demands under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed given in accordance with the Merger Agreement: (i) if to the Company, to the address, e-mail address, or facsimile provided in the Merger Agreement, including to the Persons designated therein to receive copies; and (ii) if to a Stockholder, to such Stockholder’s address, e-mail address, or facsimile shown below such Stockholder’s signature on the signature page hereto.

(b) For all actions, suits and proceedings arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the parties hereby irrevocably and unconditionally (a) consent to the personal jurisdiction of any state or federal court of competent jurisdiction located in the City of Wilmington in the State of Delaware and (b) waive any defense or objection to proceeding in such court, including those objections and defenses based on an alleged lack of personal jurisdiction, improper venue and forum non-conveniens. The parties acknowledge that all directions issued by any such court, including all injunctions and other decrees, will be binding and enforceable in all jurisdictions and countries. Process in any such suit, action or proceeding may be served on any party anywhere in the world, whether within or without the jurisdiction of any such court.

ARTICLE IX

Section 1. Right to Indemnification. Each person who was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is otherwise involved in any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (a “Proceeding”) by reason of the fact that the person is or was a director or an officer of the Company, or is or was serving at the request of the Company, while a director or officer of the Company, as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to an employee benefit plan (an “Indemnitee”), whether the basis of such Proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity as a director, officer, employee or agent or in any other capacity while serving as a director, officer, employee or agent, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Company to the fullest extent permitted or required by the DGCL, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended (but, in the case of any such amendment, only to the extent that such amendment permits the Company to provide broader indemnification rights than such law permitted the Company to provide prior to such amendment), against all expense, liability and loss (including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties and amounts paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by such Indemnitee in connection therewith; provided, however, that, except as provided in Section 3 of this Article IX with respect to Proceedings to enforce rights to indemnification, the Company

shall indemnify any such Indemnitee in connection with a Proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such Indemnitee only if such Proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the Board of Directors of the Company.

Section 2. Right to Advancement of Expenses. The right to indemnification conferred in Section 1 of this Article IX shall include the right to be paid by the Company the expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred in defending any such Proceeding in advance of its final disposition (an “Advancement of Expenses”); provided, however, that, if the DGCL so requires, an Advancement of Expenses incurred by an Indemnitee in such person’s capacity as a director or officer (and not in any other capacity in which service was or is rendered by such Indemnitee, including, without limitation, service to an employee benefit plan) shall be made only upon delivery to the Company of an undertaking (an “Undertaking”), by or on behalf of such Indemnitee, to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined by final judicial decision from which there is no further right to appeal (a “Final Adjudication”) that such Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified for such expenses under this Section 2 or otherwise. The rights to indemnification and to the Advancement of Expenses conferred in Sections 1 and 2 of this Article IX shall be contract rights and such rights shall continue as to an Indemnitee who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the Indemnitee’s heirs, executors and administrators.

Section 3. Right of Indemnitee to Bring Suit. If a claim under Section 1 or 2 of this Article IX is not paid in full by the Company within 60 calendar days after a written claim has been received by the Company, except in the case of a claim for an Advancement of Expenses, in which case the applicable period shall be 20 calendar days, the Indemnitee may at any time thereafter bring suit against the Company to recover the unpaid amount of the claim. If successful in whole or in part in any such suit, or in a suit brought by the Company to recover an Advancement of Expenses pursuant to the terms of an Undertaking, the Indemnitee shall be entitled to be paid also the expense of prosecuting or defending such suit. In (i) any suit brought by the Indemnitee to enforce a right to indemnification hereunder (but not in a suit brought by the Indemnitee to enforce a right to an Advancement of Expenses) it shall be a defense that, and (ii) any suit brought by the Company to recover an Advancement of Expenses pursuant to the terms of an Undertaking, the Company shall be entitled to recover such expenses upon a Final Adjudication that, the Indemnitee has not met any applicable standard for indemnification set forth in the DGCL. Neither the failure of the Company (including its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel or stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such suit that indemnification of the Indemnitee is proper in the circumstances because the Indemnitee has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the DGCL, nor an actual determination by the Company (including its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel or stockholders) that the Indemnitee has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall create a presumption that the Indemnitee has not met the applicable standard of conduct or, in the case of such a suit brought by the Indemnitee, be a defense to such suit. In any suit brought by the Indemnitee to enforce a right to indemnification or to an Advancement of Expenses hereunder, or brought by the Company to recover an Advancement of Expenses pursuant to the terms of an Undertaking, the burden of proving that the Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified, or to such Advancement of Expenses, under this Article IX or otherwise shall be on the Company.

Section 4. Non-Exclusivity of Rights. The rights to indemnification and to the Advancement of Expenses conferred in this Article IX shall not be exclusive of any other right which any person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws, any agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.

Section 5. Indemnification of Employees and Agents of the Company. The Company may, to the extent authorized from time to time by the Board of Directors, grant rights to indemnification and to the Advancement of Expenses to any employee or agent of the Company or to any person who serves at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to an employee benefit plan, to the fullest extent of the provisions of this Article IX with respect to the indemnification and Advancement of Expenses of directors and officers of the Company or as otherwise permitted or required by the DGCL.

Section 1. All meetings of the stockholders shall be held at such place, if any, either within or without the State of Delaware, as shall be designated from time to time by resolution of the board of directors and stated in the notice of meeting.

Section 2. An annual meeting of the stockholders, commencing with the year 2016, shall be held on April 1, if not a legal holiday and, if a legal holiday, then on the next secular day following at such location as may be specified by the board of directors, when they shall elect by a plurality vote a board of directors, and transact such other business as may properly be brought before the meeting.

Section 3. Special meetings of the stockholders, for any purpose or purposes, unless otherwise prescribed by statute or by the articles of incorporation, may be called at any time by the president, or a majority of the board of directors, or by stockholders entitled to cast at least twenty percent of the votes that all stockholders are entitled to cast at the particular meeting, upon written request delivered to the secretary of the corporation. Such request shall state the general nature of the business to be transacted at the proposed meeting. Upon receipt of any such request, it shall be the duty of the secretary to fix the time of the meeting which, if the meeting is called pursuant to a statutory right, shall be held not more than sixty days after the receipt of the request. If the secretary shall neglect to fix the time of the meeting, the person or persons calling the meeting may do so.

Section 4.

If the secretary or other authorized person neglects or refuses to give notice of a meeting, the person or persons calling the meeting may do so.

Section 5. Business transacted at all special meetings of stockholders shall be limited to the purposes stated in the notice, provided that whenever the language of a proposed resolution is included in the notice, the meeting considering the resolution may without further notice adopt it with such clarifying or other amendments as do not enlarge its original purpose.

Section 6. The holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares entitled to vote, present in person or represented by proxy, shall be requisite and shall constitute a quorum at all meetings of the stockholders for the transaction of business, except as otherwise provided by statute or by the articles of incorporation or by these bylaws. If, however, any meeting of stockholders cannot be organized because a quorum has not attended, the stockholders entitled to vote thereat, present in person or by proxy, shall have power, except as otherwise provided by statute, to adjourn the meeting to such time and place as they may determine, but in the case of any meeting called for the election of directors, such meeting may be adjourned only from day to day or for such longer periods not exceeding fifteen days each as the holders of a majority of the shares present in person or by proxy shall direct.

Section 8. Unless otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation, every stockholder shall be entitled to one vote for every share standing in the stockholder’s name on the books of the corporation. The articles may restrict the number of votes that a single holder or beneficial owner, or such a group of holders or owners, of shares of any class or series may directly or indirectly cast in the aggregate for the election of directors or on any other matter coming before the stockholders on the basis of any facts or circumstances that are not manifestly unreasonable and as otherwise provided by law. A stockholder may vote in person or by proxy authorized in accordance with law.

Section 9. Any action to be taken at any annual or special meeting of stockholders may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, if a consent or consents in writing, setting forth the action to be so taken, shall be signed by the holders of outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted and shall be delivered (by hand or by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested) to the corporation by delivery to its registered office in the State of Delaware, its principal place of business or an officer or agent of the corporation having custody of the book in which proceedings of meetings of stockholders are recorded.

Prompt notice of the taking of the corporate action without a meeting by less than unanimous written consent shall, to the extent required by applicable law, be given to those stockholders who have not consented in writing, and who, if the action had been taken at a meeting, would have been entitled to notice of the meeting if the record date for notice of such meeting had been the date that written consents signed by a sufficient number of holders to take the action were delivered to the corporation.

Section 10.

If the board of directors so fixes a date, such date shall also be the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote at such meeting unless the board of directors determines, at the time it fixes such record date, that a later date on or before the date of the meeting shall be the date for making such determination. If no record date is fixed by the board of directors, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall be at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which notice is given, or, if notice is waived, at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held.

as the record date for stockholders entitled to notice of such adjourned meeting the same or an earlier date as that fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to vote therewith at the adjourned meeting.

Although any officer, transfer agent or registrar whose manual or facsimile signature is affixed to such a certificate ceases to be such officer, transfer agent or registrar before such certificate has been issued, it may nevertheless be issued by the corporation with the same effect as if such officer, transfer agent or registrar were still such at the date of its issue.

Section 2. Where a certificate is signed by a transfer agent or an assistant transfer agent or a registrar, the signature of any president, vice-president, treasurer, assistant treasurer, secretary or assistant secretary may be facsimile. In case any officer or officers who have signed, or whose facsimile signature or signatures have been used on, any such certificate or certificates shall cease to be such officer or officers of the corporation, whether because of death, resignation or otherwise, before such certificate or certificates have been delivered by the corporation, such certificate or certificates may nevertheless be adopted by the corporation and be issued and delivered as though the person or persons who signed such certificate or certificates or whose facsimile signature or signatures have been used thereon had not ceased to be such officer or officers of the corporation.

Section 3. Upon surrender to the corporation or the transfer agent of the corporation of a certificate for shares duly endorsed or accompanied by proper evidence of succession, assignment or authority to transfer, it shall be the duty of the corporation to issue a new certificate to the person entitled thereto, cancel the old certificate and record the transaction upon its books.
