ARTICLE III.

EFFECT OF THE MERGER

Section 3.1 Effect on Shares. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the Company, Parent, Merger Sub or the holder of any securities of the Company, Parent or Merger Sub:

(a) Cancellation of Company Securities. Each share of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time that is held by the Company as treasury stock or by any wholly owned Company Subsidiary or by Parent or by any Parent Subsidiary shall automatically be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist, and no payment shall be made with respect thereto.

(b) Conversion of Company Securities. Each share of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than shares to be canceled in accordance with Section 3.2) shall automatically be converted into the right to receive 2.129 common shares of Parent (the “Parent Common Shares”) (such number of Parent Common Shares, the “Exchange Ratio”), subject to adjustment as provided in Section 3.2 (the “Merger Consideration”). All shares of Company Common Stock, when so converted, shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled and retired and shall cease to exist, and each holder of a certificate (a “Certificate”) or book-entry share registered in the transfer books of the Company (a “Book-Entry Share”) that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented shares of Company Common Stock shall cease to have any rights with respect to such Company Common Stock other than the right to receive the Merger Consideration, in accordance with Section 3.3, including the right, if any, to receive, pursuant to Section 3.8, cash in lieu of fractional shares of Parent Common Shares into which such shares of Company Common Stock have been converted pursuant to this Section 3.1(b), together with the amounts, if any, payable pursuant to Section 3.3(d).

(c) Treatment of Merger Sub Securities. All issued and outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share of Merger Sub (the “Merger Sub Common Shares”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into one fully-paid and nonassesable share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Surviving Entity.

Without limiting the other provisions of this

Agreement and subject to Section 6.2(b)(i) and Section 6.2(b)(ii), if at any time during the period between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time, Parent should split, combine or otherwise reclassify the Parent Common Shares, or make a distribution in Parent Common Shares, or otherwise change the Parent Common Shares into other securities (including any dividend or other distribution of securities convertible into Parent Common Shares), or engage in a reclassification, reorganization, recapitalization or exchange or other like change, then the Exchange Ratio and all Stock Award Payments shall be ratably adjusted to reflect any such change.

Section 3.3 Exchange Fund; Exchange Agent.

(a) Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall appoint a bank or trust company reasonably satisfactory to the Company to act as exchange agent (the “Exchange Agent”) for the payment and delivery of the Merger Consideration, the Stock Award Payments and the Fractional Share Consideration, as provided in Section 3.1(b), Section 3.3 and Section 3.8. On or before the Effective Time, Parent shall deposit, or cause to be deposited, with the Exchange Agent (i) the shares of Parent Common Shares sufficient to pay the Merger Consideration and the Stock Award Payments, and (ii) cash in immediately available funds in an amount sufficient to pay the Fractional Share Consideration (such shares of Parent Common Shares and cash amounts, the “Aggregate Merger Consideration,” and such Aggregate Merger Consideration as deposited with the Exchange Agent, the “Exchange Fund”), in each case, for the benefit of the holders of shares of Company Common Stock, In-The-Money Company Options, Company Restricted Stock Units and shares of Company Restricted Stock, and Company Phantom Shares. In the event the Exchange Fund shall be insufficient to make the payments contemplated by Section 3.8, Parent shall promptly deposit, or cause to be deposited, additional funds with the Exchange Agent in an amount which is equal to the deficiency in the amount required to make such payments, without interest. Parent shall cause the Exchange Agent to make, and the Exchange Agent shall make, payments of the Merger Consideration, amounts in respect of In-The-Money Company Options, Company Restricted Stock Units, shares of Company Restricted Stock and Company Phantom Shares and any amounts payable in respect of dividends or distributions on shares of Parent Common Shares in accordance with Section 3.3(d) or otherwise payable pursuant to Section 3.8 out of the Exchange Fund in accordance with this Agreement and the Certificate of Merger. The Exchange Fund shall not be used for any other purpose. Any and all interest earned on cash deposited in the Exchange Fund shall be paid to Parent.

(b) Share Transfer Books. At the Effective Time, the share transfer books of the Company shall be closed, and thereafter there shall be no further registration of transfers of shares of Company Common Stock. From and after the Effective Time, persons who held shares of Company Common Stock immediately prior to the Effective Time shall cease to have rights with respect to such shares, except as otherwise provided for herein. On or after the Effective Time, any Certificates presented to the Exchange Agent or the Surviving Entity for any reason shall be exchanged for the Merger Consideration with respect to the shares of Company Common Stock, formerly represented thereby.

(i) As promptly as practicable following the Effective Time (but in no event later than two (2) Business Days thereafter), Parent or the Surviving Entity shall cause the Exchange Agent to mail (and to make available for collection by hand) (A) to each holder of record of a Certificate evidencing Company Common Stock, (x) a letter of transmittal (a “Letter of Transmittal”), which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass only upon proper delivery of the Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu thereof) to the Exchange Agent, and which Letter of Transmittal shall be in such form and have such other provisions as the Surviving Entity may reasonably specify, and (y) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates in exchange for the Merger Consideration into which the number of shares of Company Common Stock previously represented by such Certificate shall have been converted pursuant to this Agreement, together with any amounts payable in respect of dividends or distributions on shares of Parent Common Shares in accordance with Section 3.3(d) (which instructions shall provide that, at the election of the surrendering holder, (1) Certificates may be surrendered by hand delivery or otherwise or (2) the Merger Consideration in exchange therefor, together with any amounts payable in respect of dividends or distributions on shares of Parent Common Shares in accordance with Section 3.3(d), may be collected by hand by the surrendering holder or by check or wire transfer to the surrendering holder), (B) to each holder of an In-The-Money Company Option, written evidence representing an option to acquire shares of Parent Common Shares in an amount due and payable to such holder pursuant to Section 3.4(a) in respect of such Company Option, (C) to each holder of a share of Company Restricted Stock, shares of Parent Common Shares in an amount due and payable to such holder pursuant to Section 3.4(b) in respect of such share of Company Restricted Stock, and (D) to each holder of a Company Phantom Share, shares of Parent Common Shares in an amount due and payable to such holder pursuant to Section 3.4(b) in respect of such Company Phantom Share.

(ii) Upon surrender of a Certificate (or affidavit of loss in lieu thereof) for cancellation to the Exchange Agent, together with a Letter of Transmittal duly completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto, and such other documents as may reasonably be required by the Exchange Agent or Parent, the holder of such Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor the Merger Consideration for each share of Company Common Stock formerly represented by such Certificate pursuant to the provisions of this Article III plus any cash such holder is entitled to receive in lieu of fractional shares of Parent Common Shares that such holder has the right to receive pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.1(b) and any amounts that such holder has the right to receive in respect of dividends or distributions on shares of Parent Common Shares in accordance with Section 3.3(d), to be mailed, made available for collection by hand or delivered by wire transfer, within two (2) Business Days following the later to occur of (A) the Effective Time or (B) the Exchange Agent’s receipt of such Certificate (or affidavit of loss in lieu thereof), and the Certificate (or affidavit of loss

in lieu thereof) so surrendered shall be forthwith canceled. The Exchange Agent shall accept such Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu thereof) upon compliance with such reasonable terms and conditions as the Exchange Agent may impose to effect an orderly exchange thereof in accordance with normal exchange practices. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 3.3, each Certificate shall be deemed, at any time after the Effective Time, to represent only the right to receive, upon such surrender, the Merger Consideration as contemplated by this Article III. No interest shall be paid or accrued for the benefit of holders of the Certificates on the Merger Consideration payable upon the surrender of the Certificates.

(iii) As promptly as practicable following the Effective Time (but in no event later than two (2) Business Days thereafter), Parent or the Surviving Entity shall cause the Exchange Agent (A) to issue to each holder of Book-Entry Shares that number of uncertificated whole shares of Parent Common Shares that such holder is entitled to receive pursuant to Section 3.1(b) in respect of such Book-Entry Shares, and (B) to issue and deliver to each holder of Book-Entry Shares a check or wire transfer for any amounts payable in respect of dividends or distributions on shares of Parent Common Shares in accordance with Section 3.3(d) and any other amount such holder is entitled to receive in lieu of fractional shares of Parent Common Shares that such holder has the right to receive pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.1(b), in each case, without such holder being required to deliver a Certificate or an executed Letter of Transmittal to the Exchange Agent, and such Book-Entry Shares shall then be canceled. No interest shall be paid or accrued for the benefit of holders of Book-Entry Shares on the Merger Consideration in respect of the Book-Entry Shares.

(iv) In the event of a transfer of ownership of shares of Company Common Stock that is not registered in the transfer records of the Company, it shall be a condition of payment that any Certificate surrendered in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 3.3(c) shall be properly endorsed or shall be otherwise in proper form for transfer, or any Book-Entry Share shall be properly transferred, and that the Person requesting such payment shall have paid any transfer Taxes and other Taxes required by reason of the payment of the Merger Consideration to a person other than the registered holder of the Certificate or Book-Entry Share surrendered or shall have established to the satisfaction of Parent that such Tax either has been paid or is not applicable.

(v) All shares of Parent Common Shares to be issued in the Merger will be issued in book-entry form, without physical certificates.

(d) Dividends with Respect to Parent Common Shares. No dividends or other distributions with respect to Parent Common Shares with a record date after the Effective Time shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Certificate with respect to the shares of Parent Common Shares issuable hereunder, and all such dividends and other distributions shall be paid by Parent to the Exchange Agent and shall be included in the Exchange Fund, in each case until the surrender of such Certificate (or affidavit of loss in lieu thereof) in accordance with this Agreement. Following surrender of any such Certificate (or affidavit of loss in lieu thereof) there shall be paid to the holder thereof in addition to the other amounts payable hereunder

(i) promptly after the time of such surrender, the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time theretofore paid with respect to such whole shares of Parent Common Shares to which such holder is entitled pursuant to this Agreement and (ii) at the appropriate payment date, the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time but prior to such surrender and with a payment date subsequent to such surrender payable with respect to such whole shares of Parent Common Shares.

(f) No Liability. None of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company, the Surviving Entity or the Exchange Agent, or any employee, officer, director, agent or Affiliate of any of them, shall be liable to any holder of shares of Company Common Stock in respect of any part of the Merger Consideration delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law. Any amounts remaining unclaimed by holders of any such shares immediately prior to the time at which such amounts would otherwise escheat to, or become property of, any Governmental Authority shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, become the property of the Surviving Entity, free and clear of any claims or interest of any such holders or their successors, assigns or personal representatives previously entitled thereto.

(g) Investment of Exchange Fund. The Exchange Agent shall invest any cash included in the Exchange Fund as directed by Parent or, after the Effective Time, the Surviving Entity; provided, however, that (i) no such investment shall relieve Parent or the Exchange Agent from making the payments required by this Article III and, to the extent that there are losses with respect to such investments, or the Exchange Fund diminishes for other reasons below the level required to make prompt payments of the Aggregate Merger Consideration as contemplated hereby, Parent shall promptly replace or restore the portion of the Exchange Fund lost through investments or other events, without interest, so as to ensure that the Exchange Fund is, at all times, maintained at a level sufficient to make such payments, (ii) no such investment shall have maturities that could prevent or delay payments to be made pursuant to this Agreement, and (iii) such investments shall be in short-term obligations of the United States of America with maturities of no more than thirty (30) days or guaranteed by the United States of America and backed by the full faith and credit of the United States of America.

Section 3.4 Stock Options; Restricted Stock Units; Restricted Stock; Phantom Shares. All of the provisions of this Section 3.4 shall be effectuated without any action on the part of the holder of any Company Option, Company Restricted Stock and/or Company Phantom Shares.

(a) Treatment of Company Options. At the Effective Time, each In-The-Money Company Option which is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (whether

or not then vested or exercisable) shall become vested and exercisable and shall thereafter be assumed by Parent and shall otherwise continue to have, and be subject to, the same terms and conditions as were applicable immediately prior to the Effective Time as set forth in the applicable Company Plan (including any applicable award agreement, other agreement or other document evidencing such Company Option) immediately prior to the Effective Time, except that, from and after the Effective Time, (i) each such In-The-Money Company Option will be exercisable for that number of whole shares of Parent Common Shares equal to the product (rounded down to the nearest whole number) of (x) the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such In-The-Money Company Option as of immediately prior to the Effective Time and (y) the Exchange Ratio, and (ii) the per share exercise price for the shares of Parent Common Shares issuable upon exercise of such assumed In-The-Money Company Option will be equal to the quotient (rounded up to the nearest whole cent) determined by dividing (x) the exercise price of each share of Company Common Stock at which such assumed In-The-Money Company Option was exercisable immediately prior to the Effective Time by (y) the Exchange Ratio. Any Company Option outstanding as of the Effective Time that has an exercise price per share of Company Common Stock that is greater than or equal to the per share dollar value of the Merger Consideration immediately prior to the Effective Time shall automatically be cancelled and forfeited for no consideration without any further action on the part of the holder of such Company Option, and all rights with respect to such Company Option shall terminate as of the Effective Time.

(b) Treatment of Company Restricted Stock Units. At the Effective Time, each Company Restricted Stock Unit that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be assumed by Parent and shall otherwise continue to have, and be subject to, the same terms and conditions, including vesting terms, as were applicable immediately prior to the Effective Time as set forth in the applicable Company Plan (including any applicable award agreement, other agreement or other document evidencing such Company Restricted Stock Unit) immediately prior to the Effective Time, except that, from and after the Effective Time, each such Company Restricted Stock Unit will be converted into a number of restricted stock units covering that number of whole shares of Parent Common Shares equal to the product (rounded down to the nearest whole number) of (i) the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Company Restricted Stock Unit as of immediately prior to the Effective Time and (ii) the Exchange Ratio.

(c) Treatment of Company Restricted Stock. At the Effective Time, each share of Company Restricted Stock that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be assumed by Parent and shall otherwise continue to have, and be subject to, the same terms and conditions, including applicable restrictions and vesting terms, as were applicable immediately prior to the Effective Time as set forth in the applicable Company Plan (including any applicable award agreement, other agreement or other document evidencing such awards of Company Restricted Stock) immediately prior to the Effective Time, except that, from and after the Effective Time, each such share of Company Restricted Stock will be converted into a number of restricted shares of Parent Common Shares equal to the product (rounded down to the nearest whole number) of (i) the number of shares of Company Restricted Stock as of immediately prior to the Effective Time and (ii) the Exchange Ratio.

(d) Treatment of Company Phantom Shares. Each Company Phantom Share outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall become fully vested and all restrictions with respect thereto shall lapse immediately prior to the Effective Time, and each such Company Phantom Share shall be converted into an amount, payable in cash, equal to the product of (i) the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Company Phantom Share and (ii) the difference between (x) the per share dollar value of the Merger Consideration and (y) the applicable “exercise price” for such Company Phantom Share (the “Phantom Share Payment”). As of the Effective Time, each holder of Company Phantom Shares shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the Phantom Share Payment. Any Company Phantom Share outstanding as of the Effective Time that has an exercise price per share of Company Common Stock that is greater than or equal to the per share dollar value of the Merger Consideration shall automatically be cancelled and forfeited for no consideration without any further action on the part of the holder of such Company Phantom Share, and all rights with respect to such Company Phantom Share shall terminate as of the Effective Time.

(e) Company Assumed Awards. As soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time, but in no event later than five (5) Business Days following the Effective Time, Parent shall deliver to each holder of an In-The-Money Company Option, Company Restricted Stock Unit and share of Company Restricted Stock an appropriate notice setting forth such holder’s rights pursuant to such In-The-Money Company Option, Company Restricted Stock Unit or share of Company Restricted Stock, as applicable. Unless the shares of Parent Common Shares issuable upon exercise or settlement of the In-The-Money Company Option or upon vesting of the Company Restricted Stock Unit or share of Company Restricted Stock are otherwise covered by an existing registration statement on Form S-8 immediately upon the Effective Time, Parent shall prepare and file with the SEC such a registration statement with respect to such shares of Parent Common Shares no later than the Effective Time and Parent shall exercise reasonable best efforts to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement for so long as such In-The-Money Company Options, Company Restricted Stock Units and shares of Company Restricted Stock remain outstanding (subject to blackout periods and similar restrictions in accordance with Parent’s policies). The Company and its counsel shall reasonably cooperate with and assist Parent in the preparation of any such registration statement.

(f) Manner of Effecting. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company and Parent agree that the Company shall, and shall be permitted under this Agreement to take all corporate action necessary to effectuate the provisions of this Section 3.4. From and after the Effective Time, unless the compensation committee of the Parent Board determines otherwise, all references to the Company in the Company Plans and in each award or other agreement evidencing or relating to any In-The-Money Company Options, Company Restricted Stock Units, Company Restricted Stock or Company Phantom Shares or any other Company equity-based award, shall be deemed (i) for all purposes relating to employment, consultancy or directorship (or words of similar meaning) to refer to Parent and its Subsidiaries and (ii) for all other purposes, to refer to Parent.

Section 3.5 Withholding Rights. Parent, the Surviving Entity or the Exchange Agent, as applicable, shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the Merger Consideration and any amounts otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder of shares of Company Common Stock, Company Options, Company Restricted Stock Units, shares of Company

Restricted Stock and Company Phantom Shares, such amounts as Parent, the Surviving Entity or the Exchange Agent is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, or any provision of applicable Tax Law. To the extent that amounts are so deducted or withheld and paid over to the appropriate Governmental Authority by Parent, the Surviving Entity or the Exchange Agent, as applicable, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made by Parent, the Surviving Entity or the Exchange Agent, as applicable.

Section 3.6 Lost Certificates. If any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, then upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by the Surviving Entity, the posting by such Person of a bond in such reasonable amount as the Surviving Entity may direct, as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, the Exchange Agent will issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate the Merger Consideration to which the holder thereof is entitled pursuant to this Article III.

Section 3.7 Dissenters’ Rights. No dissenters’ or appraisal rights shall be available with respect to the Merger or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, so long as the provisions of Section 262 of the DGCL are applicable to the transaction.

Section 3.8 Fractional Shares. No certificate or scrip representing fractional shares of Parent Common Shares shall be issued upon the surrender for exchange of Certificates or with respect to Book-Entry Shares, and such fractional share interests shall not entitle the owner thereof to vote or to any other rights of a stockholder of Parent. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, each holder of shares of Company Common Stock converted pursuant to the Merger who would otherwise have been entitled to receive a fraction of a share of Parent Common Shares shall receive, in lieu thereof, cash, without interest, in an amount equal to such fractional part of a share of Parent Common Shares multiplied by the VWAP of Parent Common Shares.

Section 5.7 SEC Filings; Canadian Filings; Financial Statements.

(a) Parent has filed with, or furnished (on a publicly available basis) to, the SEC all forms, reports, schedules, statements and documents required to be filed or furnished by it under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, as the case may be, including any amendments or supplements thereto, from and after January 1, 2013 (collectively, the “Parent SEC Filings”). Each Parent SEC Filing, as amended or supplemented, if applicable, (i) as of its date, or, if amended or supplemented, as of the date of the most recent amendment or supplement thereto, complied in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, as the case may be, and the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC thereunder, and (ii) did not, at the time it was filed (or became effective in the case of registration statements), or, if amended or supplemented, as of the date of the most recent amendment or supplement thereto, 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 made therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. As of the date of this Agreement, neither Merger Sub nor any other Parent Subsidiary is separately subject to the periodic reporting requirements of the Exchange Act.

(b) Each of Parent’s consolidated financial statements contained or incorporated by reference in the Parent SEC Filings (as amended, supplemented or restated, if applicable), including the related notes and schedules, was prepared (except as indicated in the notes thereto) in accordance with GAAP applied on a consistent basis throughout the periods indicated, and each such consolidated financial statement presented fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position, results of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows of Parent and its consolidated subsidiaries as of the respective dates thereof and for the respective periods indicated therein (subject, in the case of unaudited quarterly financial statements, to normal year-end adjustments).

(c) Parent is in compliance in all material respects with the provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the provisions of the Exchange Act and Securities Act relating thereto which under the terms of such provisions (including the dates by which such compliance is required) have become applicable to Parent. Each of the principal executive officer of Parent and the principal financial officer of Parent has made all certifications required by Rule 13a-14 or 15d-14 under the Exchange Act or Sections 302 and 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder with respect to the Parent SEC Filings. For purposes of the preceding sentence, “principal executive officer” and “principal financial officer” shall have the meanings given to such terms in the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. The records, systems, controls, data and information of Parent and the Parent Subsidiaries that are used in the system of internal accounting controls described in the following sentence are recorded, stored, maintained and operated under means that are under the exclusive ownership and direct control of Parent or the Parent Subsidiaries or accountants, except for any non-exclusive ownership and non-direct control that would not reasonably be expected to have a materially adverse effect on the system of internal accounting controls. Parent and the Parent Subsidiaries have devised and maintain a system of internal accounting controls sufficient to provide reasonable assurances regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP, including that: (1) transactions are executed only in accordance with management’s authorization; (2) transactions are recorded as necessary to

permit preparation of the financial statements of Parent and the Parent Subsidiaries and to maintain accountability for the assets of Parent and the Parent Subsidiaries; (3) access to such assets is permitted only in accordance with management’s authorization; (4) the reporting of such assets is compared with existing assets at regular intervals; and (5) accounts, notes and other receivables and inventory are recorded accurately, and proper and adequate procedures are implemented to effect the collection thereof on a current and timely basis. Parent’s principal executive officer and its principal financial officer have disclosed to Parent’s auditors and the audit committee of the Parent Board (i) all significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in the design or operation of internal controls over financial reporting that are reasonably likely to adversely affect Parent’s ability to record, process, summarize and report financial data, and (ii) any known fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other employees who have a significant role in Parent’s internal controls, and Parent has made available to the Company copies of any material written materials relating to the foregoing. Parent has established and maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15 promulgated under the Exchange Act) designed to ensure that material information relating to Parent required to be included in reports filed under the Exchange Act, including its consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to Parent’s principal executive officer and its principal financial officer by others within those entities, particularly during the periods in which the periodic reports required under the Exchange Act are being prepared, and, to the Knowledge of Parent, such disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting Parent’s principal executive officer and its principal financial officer to material information required to be included in Parent’s periodic reports required under the Exchange Act. Since the enactment of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, none of Parent, Merger Sub or any other Parent Subsidiary has made any prohibited loans to any director or executive officer of Parent (as defined in Rule 3b-7 promulgated under the Exchange Act).

(d) None of Parent or its consolidated subsidiaries has any liabilities or obligations of any nature (whether accrued, absolute, contingent or otherwise), except for liabilities or obligations (i) expressly contemplated by or under this Agreement, including without limitation Section 6.2 hereof, (ii) incurred in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice since the most recent balance sheet set forth in the Parent SEC Filings made through and including the date of this Agreement, (iii) described in any section of the Parent Disclosure Letter or (iv) that, individually or in the aggregate, have not had and would not reasonably be expected to have a Parent Material Adverse Effect.

(e) To the Knowledge of Parent, none of the Parent SEC Filings is the subject of ongoing SEC review and Parent has not received any comments from the SEC with respect to any of the Parent SEC Filings since January 1, 2013 which remains unresolved, nor has it received any inquiry or information request from the SEC as to any matters affecting Parent which has not been adequately addressed. Parent has made available to the Company true and complete copies of all written comment letters from the staff of the SEC received since January 1, 2013 through the date of this Agreement relating to the Parent SEC Filings and all written responses of Parent thereto through the date of this Agreement. None of the Parent SEC Filings is the subject of any confidential treatment request by Parent.

(f) Parent has timely filed all reports, registrations, schedules, forms, statements and other documents, together with any amendments required to be made with respect

thereto, including all reports, schedules, registration statements or other documents that it was required to file since January 1, 2013 with the TSX, the Canadian provincial securities commissions (collectively, the “Canadian Securities Commissions”), or with other Governmental Authorities or pursuant to applicable federal, state or provincial securities Laws (the “Parent Canadian Filings”), and has paid all fees and assessments due and payable in connection therewith, except in each case where the failure to file such report, registration, schedule, form, statement or other document, or to pay such fees and assessments, would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Parent Material Adverse Effect. No publicly available final registration statement, prospectus, report, form, schedule, release or proxy material (including any financial statements or schedules included or incorporated by reference therein) filed since January 1, 2013 and prior to the close of business on the date hereof by Parent with the Canadian Securities Commissions or pursuant to the applicable securities Laws of the provinces of Canada and the respective regulations and rules made thereunder, including the regulations and rules of the TSX, together with all applicable published policy statements, notices, blanket orders and rulings and all discretionary orders or rulings, if any, of the Canadian Securities Commissions and the TSX (collectively, “Canadian Securities Laws”) (collectively, the “Parent Securities Documents”), as of their respective dates or, if amended or superseded prior to the date of this Agreement, as of the date of such amendment or applicable subsequent filing, contained a misrepresentation (as defined under Canadian Securities Laws). As of their respective filing dates, or if amended or superseded prior to the date of this Agreement, as of the date of the last such amendment or applicable subsequent filing, all Parent Securities Documents complied as to form in all material respects with the applicable requirements of Canadian Securities Laws. Parent and its Subsidiaries are engaged in all material respects only in the business described in the Parent SEC Filings and the Parent Canadian Filings contain a complete and accurate description in all material respects of the business of Parent and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole. Parent has not filed any confidential material change report with any Canadian Securities Commissions which as of the date hereof remains confidential.

Each of the Company and Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts to have the Form F-4 declared effective under the Securities Act as promptly as practicable after such filing and keep the Form F-4 effective for so long as necessary to complete the Merger. Each of the Company and Parent shall

furnish all information concerning itself, its Affiliates and the holders of its capital stock to the other and provide such other assistance as may be reasonably requested in connection with the preparation, filing and distribution of the Form F-4, Proxy Statement and the Circular. The Form F-4, Proxy Statement and the Circular shall include all information reasonably requested by such other party to be included therein. Each of the Company and Parent shall promptly notify the other upon the receipt of any comments from the SEC or the Canadian Securities Commissions, as applicable, or any request from the SEC or the Canadian Securities Commissions, as applicable, for amendments or supplements to the Form F-4, the Circular or Proxy Statement, and shall provide the other with copies of all correspondence between it and its Representatives, on one hand, and the SEC or the Canadian Securities Commissions, as applicable, on the other hand.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, prior to filing the Form F-4 (or any amendment or supplement thereto) or mailing the Proxy Statement or any other materials used in connection with the Company Stockholder Meeting that constitute “proxy materials” or “solicitation materials” as those terms are used in Rules 14a-1 through 14a-17 under the Exchange Act or are otherwise used for the “solicitation” of “proxies” as those terms are defined in Rule 14a-1 under the Exchange Act (or any amendment or supplement thereto) or mailing the Circular or any other materials used in connection with the Parent Shareholder Meeting that constitute an “information circular”, “proxy-related materials” or are otherwise used for the “solicitation” of “proxies” as those terms are used under applicable Canadian securities Law or “proxy materials” or “solicitation materials” as those terms are used in Rules 14a-1 through 14a-17 under the Exchange Act or are otherwise used for the “solicitation” of “proxies” as those terms are defined in Rule 14a-1 under the Exchange Act (or any amendment or supplement thereto) or responding to any comments of the SEC or the Canadian Securities Commissions, as applicable, with respect thereto, each of the Company and Parent (i) shall provide the other an opportunity to review and comment on such document or response (including the proposed final version of such document or response) and (ii) shall include in such document or response all comments reasonably proposed by the other. Parent shall advise the Company, promptly after it receives notice thereof, of the time of effectiveness of the Form F-4, the issuance of any stop order relating thereto or the suspension of the qualification of the Parent Common Shares issuable in connection with the Merger for offering or sale in any jurisdiction, and Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts to have any such stop order or suspension lifted, reversed or otherwise terminated. Parent will advise the Company promptly after it receives notice of the issuance by any Canadian Securities Commission, any other securities regulatory authority, the TSX or by any other Governmental Authority of any order to cease or suspend trading of any securities of Parent or the institution or threat of institution of any proceeding for that purpose. Parent shall also take any other action (other than qualifying to do business in any jurisdiction in which it is not now so qualified) required to be taken under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any applicable foreign or state securities or “blue sky” Laws and the rules and regulations thereunder in connection with the issuance of Parent Common Shares in the Merger, and the Company shall furnish all information concerning the Company and the holders of its capital stock as may be reasonably requested in connection with any such actions.

(b) If, at any time prior to the Effective Time, any information relating to the Company or Parent, or any of their respective Affiliates, should be discovered by the Company or Parent which, in the reasonable judgment of the Company or Parent, should be set forth in an amendment of, or a supplement to, any of the Form F-4, the Circular or the Proxy Statement, so that any of such documents would not include any misstatement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, the party which discovers such information shall promptly notify the other parties hereto, and the Company and Parent shall cooperate in the prompt filing with the SEC and the Canadian Securities Commissions, as applicable, of any necessary amendment of, or supplement to, the Proxy Statement, the Circular or the Form F-4 and, to the extent required by Law, in making or otherwise disseminating the information contained in such amendment or supplement to stockholders of the Company or Shareholders of Parent, as applicable. Nothing in this Section 6.3(b) shall limit the obligations of any party under Section 6.3(a). For purposes of Section 4.8, Section 5.8 and this Section 6.3, any information concerning or related to the Company, its Affiliates or the Company Stockholder Meeting will be deemed to have been provided by the Company, and any information concerning or related to Parent or its Affiliates or the Parent Shareholder Meeting will be deemed to have been provided by Parent.

(c) As promptly as reasonably practicable following the date of this Agreement, the Company shall, in accordance with applicable Law and the Company Charter and Company Bylaws, establish a record date for, duly call, give notice of, convene and hold the Company Stockholder Meeting. Without the prior written consent of Parent, the adoption of this Agreement by the stockholders of the Company and related matters shall be the only proposals to be submitted to, or voted on by, the stockholders of the Company at the Company Stockholder Meeting. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Proxy Statement to be mailed to the stockholders of the Company and to hold the Company Stockholder Meeting as soon as reasonably practicable after the Form F-4 is declared effective under the Securities Act. The Company shall, through the Company Board, recommend to its stockholders that they give the Company Stockholder Approval, include such recommendation in the Proxy Statement and solicit and use its reasonable best efforts to obtain the Company Stockholder Approval, except to the extent that the Company Board shall have made a Company Adverse Recommendation Change as permitted by Section 6.5(d). Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Company shall not postpone or adjourn the Company Stockholder Meeting without the consent of Parent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), other than (i) to solicit additional proxies for the purpose of obtaining Company Stockholder Approval, (ii) in the absence of a quorum, and (iii) to allow reasonable additional time for the filing and/or mailing of any supplemental or amended disclosure that the Company Board has determined, after consultation with outside legal counsel, is necessary under applicable Law and for such supplemental or amended disclosure to be disseminated and reviewed by the stockholders of the Company prior to the Company Stockholder Meeting.

(d) As promptly as reasonably practicable following the date of this Agreement, Parent shall, in accordance with applicable Law and the Parent Articles and Parent Bylaws, establish a record date for, duly call, give notice of, convene and hold the Parent Shareholder Meeting.

reasonably practicable after the Form F-4 is declared effective under the Securities Act. Parent shall, through the Parent Board, recommend to its shareholders that they give the Parent Shareholder Approval and the Parent Name Change Approval, include such recommendations in the Circular and solicit and use its reasonable best efforts to obtain the Parent Shareholder Approval and Parent Name Change Approval, except to the extent that the Parent Board shall have made a Parent Adverse Recommendation Change as permitted by Section 6.5(e).

Section 6.4 Access to Information; Confidentiality.

(a) During the Interim Period, to the extent permitted by applicable Law and Contracts, and subject to the reasonable restrictions imposed from time to time upon advice of counsel, each of the Company and Parent shall, and shall cause each of the Parent Subsidiaries and the Company Subsidiaries, respectively, to, afford to the other party and to the Representatives of such other party reasonable access during normal business hours and upon reasonable advance notice to all of their respective properties, offices, books, Contracts, commitments, personnel and records and, during such period, each of the Company and Parent shall, and shall cause each of the Company Subsidiaries and the Parent Subsidiaries, respectively, to, furnish reasonably promptly to the other party (i) a copy of each report, schedule, registration statement and other document filed by it during such period pursuant to the requirements of federal or state securities Laws, and (ii) all other information (financial or otherwise) concerning its business, properties and personnel as such other party may reasonably request. Without limiting the foregoing, from the date hereof until the earlier of (i) the Effective Time and (ii) the termination of this Agreement, the Company shall maintain, or cause to be maintained, and provide Parent and its Representatives continued access to, the Data Site, and shall not remove any documents or information loaded onto the Data Site prior to, on or after the date hereof. The Company shall not remove any of the documents or items provided in the Data Site through and including the Closing Date.

(b) This Section 6.4 shall not require either the Company or Parent to permit any access, or to disclose any information, that in the reasonable, good faith judgment (after consultation with counsel) of such party (i) would reasonably be expected to result in any violation of any Contract or Law to which such party or its Subsidiaries is a party or is subject or cause any privilege (including attorney-client privilege) that such party or any of its Subsidiaries would be entitled to assert to be undermined with respect to such information and such undermining of such privilege could in such party’s good faith judgment (after consultation with counsel) adversely affect in any material respect such party’s position in any pending or, what such party believes in good faith (after consultation with counsel) could be, future litigation or (ii) is reasonably pertinent to any litigation, if any, in which such party or any of its Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and the other party or any of its Subsidiaries, on the other hand, are adverse parties; provided, that, in the case of clause (i), the parties hereto shall cooperate in seeking to find a way to allow disclosure of such information (including by entering into a joint-defense or similar agreement) to the extent doing so (A) would not (in the good faith belief of the party being requested to disclose the information (after consultation with counsel)) reasonably be likely to result in the violation of any such Contract or Law or reasonably be likely to cause such privilege to be undermined with respect to such information or (B) could reasonably (in the good faith belief of the party being requested to disclose the information (after consultation with counsel)) be managed through the use of customary “clean-room” arrangements pursuant to

which non-employee Representatives of the other party shall be provided access to such information; provided, further, that the party being requested to disclose the information shall (x) notify the other party that such disclosures are reasonably likely to violate its or its Subsidiaries’ obligations under any such Contract or Law or are reasonably likely to cause such privilege to be undermined, (y) communicate to the other party in reasonable detail the facts giving rise to such notification and the subject matter of such information (to the extent it is able to do so in accordance with the first proviso in this Section 6.4(b)) and (z) in the case where such disclosures are reasonably likely to violate its or its Subsidiaries’ obligations under any Contract, use reasonable commercial efforts to seek consent from the applicable Third Party to any such Contract with respect to the disclosures prohibited thereby (to the extent not otherwise expressly prohibited by the terms of such Contract).

(c) Each of the Company and Parent will hold, and will cause its Representatives and Affiliates to hold, any nonpublic information, including any information exchanged pursuant to this Section 6.4, in confidence to the extent required by and in accordance with, and will otherwise comply with, the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement.

Section 6.5 Acquisition Proposals.

(a) Subject to the other provisions of this Section 6.5, during the Interim Period, the Company shall not, and shall cause each of the Company Subsidiaries, and its and their officers and directors, managers or equivalent not to, and shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause any other Representatives of the Company or the Company Subsidiaries not to, directly or indirectly through another Person, (i) solicit, initiate, knowingly encourage or knowingly facilitate any inquiry, discussion, offer or request that constitutes, or could reasonably be expected to lead to, a Company Acquisition Proposal (an “Inquiry”), (ii) engage in any discussions or negotiations regarding, or furnish to any Third Party any non-public information in connection with, or otherwise cooperate in any way with, or knowingly facilitate in any way any effort by, any Third Party in connection with, any Company Acquisition Proposal or Inquiry, (iii) approve or recommend a Company Acquisition Proposal, or enter into any letter of intent, memorandum of understanding, agreement in principle, acquisition agreement, merger agreement, share purchase agreement, asset purchase agreement, share exchange agreement, option agreement or other similar definitive agreement (other than an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement entered into in accordance with Section 6.5(b)) providing for or relating to a Company Acquisition Proposal (an “Alternative Acquisition Agreement”), or (iv) propose or agree to do any of the foregoing.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 6.5, at any time prior to obtaining the requisite Company Stockholder Approval, the Company may, in response to an unsolicited bona fide written Company Acquisition Proposal by a Third Party made after the date of this Agreement (that did not result from a breach of this Section 6.5) (i) furnish non-public information to such Third Party (and such Third Party’s Representatives) making a Company Acquisition Proposal (provided, however, that (A) prior to so furnishing such information, the Company receives from the Third Party an executed Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement, and (B) any non-public information concerning the Company or the Company Subsidiaries that is provided to such Third Party shall, to the extent not previously provided to Parent or Merger Sub, be provided to Parent or Merger Sub prior to or simultaneously with

providing it to such Third Party), and (ii) engage in discussions or negotiations with such Third Party (and such Third Party’s Representatives) with respect to the Company Acquisition Proposal if, in the case of each of clauses (i) and (ii): (x) the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with its financial and legal advisors, that such Company Acquisition Proposal constitutes, or could reasonably be expected to lead to, a Superior Proposal, and (y) the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with legal counsel, that failure to take such action would be reasonably likely to be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law.

(c) The Company shall notify Parent promptly (and in any event within twenty-four (24) hours) after receipt of any Company Acquisition Proposal or any request for nonpublic information relating to the Company or any Company Subsidiary by any Third Party, or any Inquiry from any Person seeking to have discussions or negotiations with the Company relating to a possible Company Acquisition Proposal. Such notice shall indicate the identity of the Third Party making the Company Acquisition Proposal or Inquiry and all of the material terms and conditions of any Company Acquisition Proposal or Inquiries. The Company shall also promptly notify Parent if it enters into discussions or negotiations concerning any Company Acquisition Proposal or provides nonpublic information or data to any person in accordance with this Section 6.5(c) and keep the other party informed of the status and terms of any such proposals, offers, discussions or negotiations on a current basis, including by providing a copy of all material documentation or correspondence relating thereto.

(d) Except as permitted by this Section 6.5(d), neither the Company Board nor any committee thereof shall (i) withhold, withdraw, qualify or modify (or publicly propose to withhold, withdraw, qualify or modify), in a manner adverse to Parent or Merger Sub, the Company Recommendation, (ii) approve, adopt or recommend (or publicly propose to approve, adopt or recommend) any Company Acquisition Proposal, (iii) fail to include the Company Recommendation in the Proxy Statement or any Schedule 14D-9, as applicable, (iv) fail to publicly recommend against any Company Acquisition Proposal within five (5) business days of the request of Parent and reaffirm the Company Recommendation within five (5) business days (any of the actions described in clauses (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) of this Section 6.5(d), a “Company Adverse Recommendation Change”), or (v) approve, adopt, declare advisable or recommend (or agree to, resolve or propose to approve, adopt, declare advisable or recommend), or cause or permit the Company to enter into, any Alternative Acquisition Agreement (other than an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement entered into in accordance with this Section 6.5). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, at any time prior to obtaining the Company Stockholder Approval, the Company Board shall be permitted to (x) terminate this Agreement to enter into a definitive agreement, including an Alternative Acquisition Agreement, with respect to a Superior Proposal, subject to compliance with Section 6.5(f) and Section 8.3, if the Company Board (A) has received a Company Acquisition Proposal that, in the good faith determination of the Company Board, after consultation with its financial and legal advisors, constitutes, or could reasonably be expected to lead to, a Superior Proposal, after having complied with, and giving effect to all of the adjustments which may be offered by Parent and Merger Sub pursuant to, Section 6.5(f), and (B) determines in good faith, after consultation with its financial and legal advisors, that failure to take such action would be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law, or (y) effect a Company Adverse Recommendation Change in response to a Company Intervening Event if the Company

Board determines in good faith, after consultation with its financial and legal advisors, that failure to take such action would be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law.

(e) Except as permitted by this Section 6.5(e), neither the Parent Board nor any committee thereof shall (i) withhold, withdraw, qualify or modify (or publicly propose to withhold, withdraw, qualify or modify), in a manner adverse to the Company or the Parent Recommendation, or (ii) fail to include the Parent Recommendation in the Circular or any Schedule 14D-9, as applicable (any of the actions described in clauses (i) or (ii), a “Parent Adverse Recommendation Change”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, at any time prior to obtaining the Parent Shareholder Approval, and subject to compliance with Section 6.5(g) and Section 8.3, the Parent Board shall be permitted to effect a Parent Adverse Recommendation Change if, after the date of this Agreement a Parent Intervening Event has occurred or arisen and the Parent Board determines in good faith, after consultation with its financial and legal advisors, that failure to take such action would be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law.

(f) The Company Board shall not be entitled to terminate this Agreement or effect a Company Adverse Recommendation Change as permitted under Section 6.5(d) in circumstances involving or relating to a Company Acquisition Proposal unless (i) the Company has provided a written notice (a “Notice of Superior Proposal”) to Parent and Merger Sub that the Company intends to take such action and describing the material terms and conditions of, and attaching a complete copy of, the Superior Proposal that is the basis of such action (it being understood that such material terms need not include the identity of the Third Party), (ii) during the five (5) Business Day period following Parent’s and Merger Sub’s receipt of the Notice of Superior Proposal, the Company shall, and shall cause its Representatives to, negotiate with Parent and Merger Sub in good faith (to the extent Parent and Merger Sub desire to negotiate) to make such adjustments in the terms and conditions of this Agreement so that such Superior Proposal ceases to constitute a Superior Proposal, and (iii) following the end of the five (5) Business Day period, the Company Board shall have determined in good faith, after consultation with its financial and legal advisors, taking into account any changes to this Agreement proposed in writing by Parent and Merger Sub in response to the Notice of Superior Proposal or otherwise, that the Superior Proposal giving rise to the Notice of Superior Proposal continues to constitute a Superior Proposal. Any material amendment to the financial terms or any other material amendment of such Superior Proposal shall require a new Notice of Superior Proposal, and the Company shall be required to comply again with the requirements of this Section 6.5(f); provided, however, that references to the five (5) Business Day period above shall then be deemed to be references to a three (3) Business Day period.

(g) Other than in connection with a Company Acquisition Proposal (which shall be subject to Section 6.5(f) and shall not be subject to this Section 6.5(g)), nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit or restrict the Company Board from making a Company Adverse Recommendation in response to a Company Intervening Event to the extent that (i) the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with the Company’s outside legal counsel, that the failure of the Company Board to effect a Company Adverse Recommendation Change would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law, and (ii) (A) the Company provides Parent five (5) Business Days written notice of its intention to take such action, which notice

shall specify the reasons therefor, (B) after providing such notice and prior to making such Company Adverse Recommendation Change, the Company shall negotiate in good faith with Parent during such five (5) Business Day period (to the extent that Parent desires to negotiate) to make such revisions to the terms of this Agreement as would not permit the Company Board to make a Company Adverse Recommendation Change pursuant to this Section 6.5(g), and (C) the Company Board shall have considered in good faith any changes to this Agreement offered in writing by Parent, and following such five (5) Business Day period, shall have determined in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel and financial advisors, that the Company Board’s fiduciary duties under applicable Law would continue to require a Company Adverse Recommendation Change with respect to such Company Intervening Event.

(h) Nothing contained in this Section 6.5 or elsewhere in this Agreement shall prohibit the Company or the Company Board, directly or indirectly through its Representatives, from disclosing to the Company’s stockholders a position contemplated by Rule 14e-2(a) and Rule 14d-9 promulgated under the Exchange Act; provided, however, that any disclosure other than a “stop, look and listen” or similar communication of the type contemplated by Rule 14d-9(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act, an express rejection of any applicable Company Acquisition Proposal or an express reaffirmation of the Company Recommendation to the Company’s stockholders in favor of the Merger shall be deemed to be an Company Adverse Recommendation Change.

(i) The Company shall, and shall cause each of the Company Subsidiaries and its and their officers and directors, managers or equivalent, and shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause any other Representatives of the Company or the Company Subsidiaries to immediately cease any existing discussions, negotiations or communications (including discontinuing access to the Data Site) with any Person conducted heretofore with respect to any Company Acquisition Proposal. The Company shall, within ten (10) Business Days of the date hereof, request that, and use all commercially reasonable efforts to cause, all Third Parties who have been furnished confidential information regarding the Company in connection with the solicitation of or discussions regarding a Company Acquisition Proposal within the twelve (12) months prior to the date of this Agreement to promptly return or destroy such information (to the extent that the Company is entitled to have such information returned or destroyed).

(j) For purposes of this Agreement:

(i) “Company Acquisition Proposal” shall mean any unsolicited bona fide indication of interest, inquiry, proposal or offer from any Third Party for (or expression by a Third Party that it is considering or may engage in), whether in one transaction or a series of related transactions, (i) any sale, lease, exchange, mortgage, pledge, license, transfer or other disposition, directly or indirectly, by merger, consolidation, sale of equity interests, share exchange, joint venture, business combination or otherwise, of any assets of the Company or any Company Subsidiary representing twenty percent (20%) or more of the consolidated assets of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries, taken as a whole as determined on a book-value basis, or to which twenty percent (20%) or more of the consolidated revenues or earnings are attributable, (ii) any issue, sale or other disposition of (including by way of merger, consolidation, joint venture,

business combination, share exchange or any similar transaction) securities (or options, rights or warrants to purchase, or securities convertible into, such securities) representing twenty percent (20%) or more of the voting power of the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries whose business constitutes 20% or more of the net revenue, net income or assets of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, (iii) any tender offer or exchange offer in which any Person or “group” (as such term is defined in Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act) shall seek to acquire beneficial ownership (as such term is defined in Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act), or the right to acquire beneficial ownership, of twenty percent (20%) or more of the outstanding shares of any class of voting securities of the Company, (iv) any recapitalization, restructuring, liquidation, dissolution or other similar type of transaction with respect to the Company in which a Third Party shall acquire beneficial ownership of twenty percent (20%) or more of the outstanding shares of any class of voting securities of the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries whose business constitutes 20% or more of the net revenue, net income or assets of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or (v) any transaction which is similar in form, substance or purpose to any of the foregoing transactions; provided, however, that the term “Company Acquisition Proposal” shall not include the Merger or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(ii) “Superior Proposal” shall mean a bona fide written Company Acquisition Proposal (except that, for purposes of this definition, the references in the definition of “Company Acquisition Proposal” to “twenty percent (20%)” shall be replaced by “fifty percent (50%)”) on its most recently amended or modified terms, if amended or modified, made by a Third Party on terms that the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with the Company’s financial and legal advisors, taking into account all financial, legal, regulatory and any other aspects of the transaction described in such proposal (including the identity of the Person making such proposal, any termination or break-up fees, expense reimbursement provisions, and conditions to, and timing and likelihood of consummation as well as post-closing synergies and pro forma economics, to the extent applicable), as well as any changes to the financial terms of this Agreement proposed by Parent and Merger Sub in response to such proposal or otherwise, to be more favorable to the Company and the Company’s stockholders (solely in their capacity as such) from a financial point of view than the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Reference to “this Agreement” in this paragraph shall be deemed to include any proposed alteration of the terms of this Agreement by Parent.

(k) Parent shall notify the Company promptly (and in any event within twenty-four (24) hours) after receipt of any Parent Acquisition Proposal or any request for nonpublic information relating to Parent or any Parent Subsidiary by any Third Party, or any Inquiry from any Person seeking to have discussions or negotiations with Parent relating to a possible Parent Acquisition Proposal. Such notice shall indicate the identity of the Third Party making the Parent Acquisition Proposal or Inquiry and the material terms and conditions of any Parent Acquisition Proposal or Inquiries. Parent shall also promptly notify the Company if it

enters into discussions or negotiations concerning any Parent Acquisition Proposal or provides nonpublic information or data to any person in accordance with this Section 6.5(k) and keep the other party informed of the status and terms of any such proposals, offers, discussions or negotiations on a current basis, including by providing a copy of all material documentation or correspondence relating thereto.

Section 6.9 Directors’ and Officers’ Indemnification and Insurance.

(a) Parent and Merger Sub agree that all rights to exculpation and indemnification for acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Effective Time, whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the Effective Time (including any matters arising in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement), now existing in favor of the Indemnitees as provided in the Company Charter or the Company Bylaws or each of the Company Subsidiaries’ respective articles or certificates of incorporation or bylaws (or comparable organizational or governing documents) shall survive the Merger and shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with their terms. The Surviving Entity shall (and Parent shall cause the Surviving Entity to) (i) indemnify, defend and hold harmless, and advance expenses to, Indemnitees with respect to all acts or omissions by them in their capacities as such at any time prior to the Effective Time, to the fullest extent required by the Company Charter or Company Bylaws, or the articles or certificates of incorporation or bylaws (or comparable organizational or governing documents) of any of the Company Subsidiaries, in each case, as in effect on the date of this Agreement, or applicable Law, and (ii) not amend, repeal or otherwise modify any such provisions in any manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of any Indemnitees.

(b) Without limiting the provisions of Section 6.9(a), during the period commencing as of the Effective Time and ending on the sixth (6th) anniversary of the Effective Time, Parent and the Surviving Entity shall (and Parent shall cause the Surviving Entity to): (i) indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnitee against and from any costs or expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages, liabilities and amounts paid in settlement in connection with any claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, to the extent such claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation arises out of or pertains to (x) any action or omission or alleged action or omission in such Indemnitee’s capacity as a director, officer, partner, member, trustee or employee of the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries, or (y) this Agreement and any of the transactions contemplated hereby, including the Merger; and (ii) pay in advance of the final disposition of any such claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation the expenses (including attorneys’ fees) of any Indemnitee upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such Indemnitee to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that such Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 6.9(b) or elsewhere in this Agreement, neither Parent nor the Surviving Entity shall (and Parent shall cause the Surviving Entity not to) settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment or otherwise seek termination with respect to any claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation for which indemnification may be sought under this Section 6.9(b) unless such settlement, compromise, consent or termination includes an unconditional release of all

Indemnitees from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, and does not include an admission of fault or wrongdoing by any Indemnitee. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, Parent or the Surviving Entity (i) shall not be liable for any settlement effected without their prior written consent and (ii) shall not have any obligation hereunder to any Indemnitee to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction shall determine in a final and non-appealable order that such indemnification is prohibited by applicable Law, in which case the Indemnitee shall promptly refund to Parent or the Surviving Entity the amount of all such expenses theretofore advanced pursuant hereto.

(c) Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall or, if the Company is unable to, Parent shall cause the Surviving Entity as of the Effective Time to, obtain and fully pay the premium for the non-cancellable extension of the directors’ and officers’ liability coverage of the Company’s existing directors’ and officers’ insurance policies and the Company’s existing fiduciary liability insurance policies (collectively, the “D&O Insurance”), in each case, for a claims reporting or discovery period of at least six (6) years from and after the Effective Time with respect to any claim related to any period of time at or prior to the Effective Time from an insurance carrier with the same or better credit rating as the Company’s current insurance carrier with respect to D&O Insurance with terms, conditions, retentions and limits of liability that are no less favorable than the coverage provided under the Company’s existing policies and with policy limits no less than the limits on the Company’s existing policies as long as the annual premium does not exceed 300% of the annual premium under the Company’s existing policies. If the Company or the Surviving Entity for any reason fails to obtain such “tail” insurance policies as of the Effective Time, (i) the Surviving Entity shall continue to maintain in effect, for a period of at least six (6) years from and after the Effective Time, the D&O Insurance in place as of the date hereof with the Company’s current insurance carrier or with an insurance carrier with the same or better credit rating as the Company’s current insurance carrier with respect to D&O Insurance with terms, conditions, retentions and limits of liability that are no less favorable than the coverage provided under the Company’s existing policies as of the date hereof, or (ii) Parent shall provide, or shall cause the Surviving Entity to provide, for a period of not less than six (6) years after the Effective Time, the Indemnitees who are insured under the Company’s D&O Insurance with comparable D&O Insurance that provides coverage for events occurring at or prior to the Effective Time from an insurance carrier with the same or better credit rating as the Company’s current insurance carrier, that is no less favorable than the existing policy of the Company (which may be provided under Parent’s D&O Insurance policy) or, if substantially equivalent insurance coverage is unavailable, the best available coverage; provided, however, that Parent and the Surviving Entity shall not be required to pay an annual premium for the D&O Insurance in excess of 300% of the annual premium currently paid by the Company for such insurance; and provided, further, that if the annual premiums of such insurance coverage exceed such amount, Parent or the Surviving Entity shall be obligated to obtain a policy with the greatest coverage available, with respect to matters occurring prior to the Effective Time, for a cost not exceeding such amount.

(d) The Indemnitees to whom this Section 6.9 applies shall be third party beneficiaries of this Section 6.9. The provisions of this Section 6.9 are intended to be for the benefit of each Indemnitee and his or her successors, heirs, executors, trustees, fiduciaries, administrators or representatives. Parent shall pay all reasonable expenses, including attorney’s fees, that may be incurred by any Indemnitee in successfully enforcing the indemnity and other obligations provided in this Section 6.9.

(e) Notwithstanding anything contained in Section 9.1 or Section 9.7 to the contrary, this Section 6.9 shall survive the consummation of the Merger in accordance with its terms and shall be binding, jointly and severally, on all successors and assigns of Parent, the Surviving Entity and its subsidiaries, and shall be enforceable by the Indemnitees and their successors, heirs or representatives. In the event that Parent or the Surviving Entity or any of its successors or assigns consolidates with or merges into any other person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger, or transfers or conveys all or a majority of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, commercially reasonable efforts shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Parent or the Surviving Entity, as applicable, shall succeed to the obligations set forth in this Section 6.9.

Section 6.10 Employee Benefit Matters.

(b) Parent shall provide, or shall cause the Surviving Entity to provide, to each Company Employee whose employment with the Surviving Entity, Company Subsidiaries and its Affiliates is involuntarily terminated in a severance-qualifying manner during the one (1)-year period following the Effective Time, severance benefits that are no less favorable, in the aggregate, than the severance benefits, if any, that would have been provided to such Company Employee pursuant to the terms of the severance pay arrangements maintained by the Company and the Company Subsidiaries upon such an involuntary severance-qualifying termination of employment immediately prior to the Effective Time.

(c) For purposes of eligibility and vesting, benefit accrual and determination of level of benefits under the compensation and benefit plans, programs agreements and arrangements of Parent, the Company, the Parent Subsidiaries, the Company Subsidiaries, the Surviving Entity and any of its subsidiaries or any respective Affiliate thereof providing benefits to any Company Employees after the Closing (the “New Plans”), including for purposes of accrual of vacation and other paid time off and severance benefits under New Plans, but excluding for purposes of benefit accruals under any defined benefit plan or for purposes of vesting in any new equity-based compensation plan, program, agreement or arrangement, each

Company Employee shall be credited with his or her years of service with the Company, the Company Subsidiaries and their respective Affiliates (and any additional service with any predecessor employer) before the Effective Time, to the same extent as such Company Employee was entitled, before the Effective Time, to credit for such service under any similar Company Benefit Plan, except (i) for New Plans as to which employees who are similarly situated to the Company Employees are not provided such service credit or (ii) where such credit would result in a duplication of benefits. In addition, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, with respect to any plan that is an “employee welfare benefit plan” (as defined in Section 3(1) of ERISA), Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause: (i) each Company Employee to be immediately eligible to participate, without any waiting time, in any and all New Plans to the extent coverage under such New Plan replaces coverage under a comparable Company Benefit Plan in which such Company Employee participated immediately before such replacement; and (ii) for purposes of each New Plan providing medical, dental, pharmaceutical and/or vision benefits to any Company Employee, all pre-existing condition exclusions and actively-at-work requirements of such New Plan to be waived for such Company Employee and his or her covered dependents (except to the extent such restrictions were applicable and not satisfied by the Company Employee as of the Effective Time under the comparable Company Benefit Plan), and any eligible expenses incurred by such Company Employee and his or her covered dependents under a Company Benefit Plan during the portion of the plan year prior to the Effective Time to be taken into account under such New Plan for purposes of satisfying all deductible, co-insurance, co-payment and maximum out-of-pocket requirements applicable to such employee and his or her covered dependents for the applicable plan year as if such amounts had been paid in accordance with such New Plan.

(d) Prior to making any material broad-based written or oral communications to the directors, officers or employees of the Company or the Company Subsidiaries pertaining to compensation or benefit matters that are affected by the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Company shall provide Parent with a copy of the intended communication, Parent shall have a reasonable period of time to review and comment on the communication, and Parent and the Company shall cooperate in providing any such mutually agreeable communication.

(e) The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that all provisions contained in this Section 6.10 with respect to employees of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries are included for the sole and exclusive benefit of the respective parties hereto and shall not create any right, express or implied (i) in any other person, including employees, former employees, any participant or any beneficiary thereof in any Company Benefit Plan or (ii) to continued employment with Parent or any Parent Subsidiary. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 6.10 to the contrary, nothing in this Agreement, whether express or implied, shall be treated as an amendment or other modification of any Company Benefit Plan, Parent Benefit Plan or any other employee benefit plans of the Company or Parent.

Section 8.1 Termination. This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Effective Time, whether before or after receipt of the Company Stockholder Approval or the Parent Shareholder Approval (except as otherwise expressly noted), as follows:

(a) by mutual written agreement of each of Parent and the Company; or

(b) by either Parent or the Company, if:

(i) the Effective Time shall not have occurred on or before April 30, 2016 (the “Outside Date”); provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1(b)(i) shall not be available to any party if the failure of such party (and in the case of Parent, including the failure of Merger Sub) to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement has been a principal cause of, or resulted in, the failure of the Merger to be consummated on or before

such date; provided further that if the waiting period applicable to the transactions contemplated by the Agreement under the HSR Act shall not have expired or been terminated or any other mandatory waiting period or required consent under any other applicable Antitrust Laws that is a condition to the party’s obligations to effect the Merger under Section 7.1(b) shall not have expired or been obtained, then the Outside Date shall be extended until August 31, 2016;

(ii) any Governmental Authority of competent jurisdiction shall have issued an Order or taken any other action permanently restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and such Order or other action shall have become final and non-appealable; provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 8.1(b)(ii) shall not be available to a party if the issuance of such final, non-appealable Order was primarily due to the failure of such party (and in the case of Parent, including the failure of Merger Sub) to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement; or

(iii) the Company Stockholder Approval shall not have been obtained at a duly held Company Stockholder Meeting, or at any adjournment or postponement thereof at which this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby have been voted upon, provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 8.1(b)(iii) shall not be available to the Company if the failure to obtain such Company Stockholder Approval was primarily due to the Company’s failure to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement;

(iv) the Parent Shareholder Approval shall not have been obtained at a duly held Parent Shareholder Meeting, or at any adjournment or postponement thereof at which this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby have been voted upon, provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 8.1(b)(iv) shall not be available to Parent if the failure to obtain such Parent Shareholder Approval was primarily due to Parent’s failure to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement; or

(ii) the Company Board has determined to enter into an Alternative Acquisition Agreement with respect to a Superior Proposal to the extent permitted by, and subject to the terms and conditions of Section 6.5; provided, that the right to terminate under this Section 8.1(c)(ii) shall not be available after the receipt of the Company Stockholder Approval; provided, further, that any such purported termination pursuant to this Section 8.1(d)(ii) shall be void and of no force or effect unless the Company has complied with Section 8.3(a); provided, further, however, that in the event of such termination, the Company substantially concurrently enters into such Alternative Acquisition Agreement; or

(iii) if (x) the Parent Board authorizes, approves or recommends a Parent Acquisition Proposal; (y) Parent or any Parent Subsidiary enters into a written Contract relating to a Parent Acquisition Proposal (other than a confidentiality agreement); or (z) Parent or any Parent Subsidiary consummates any transaction regarding a Parent Acquisition Proposal.

(d) by Parent, if:

(i) the Company shall have breached or failed to perform in any material respect any of its representations, warranties, covenants or other agreements set forth in this Agreement, which breach or failure to perform (x) would, or would reasonably be expected to, result in a failure of a condition set forth in Section 7.2(a) or Section 7.2(b) and (y) cannot be cured on or before the Outside Date or, if curable, is not cured by the Company within twenty (20) days of receipt by the Company of written notice of such breach or failure; provided that Parent shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1(d)(i) if Parent or Merger Sub are then in breach of any of their respective representations, warranties, covenants or agreements set forth in this Agreement such that the conditions set forth in either Section 7.3(a) or Section 7.3(b) would not be satisfied, or

(ii) prior to the receipt of the Company Stockholder Approval, (A) a Company Adverse Recommendation Change shall have occurred, (B) a material and willful breach of any of the Company’s obligations under Section 6.5 by (directly or indirectly) the Company’s or any Company Subsidiary’s officers, directors or Representatives shall have occurred or (C) the Company or any Company Subsidiary or the Company Board shall have approved, recommended, adopted or entered into, or publicly announced its intention to approve, recommend, adopt or enter into, an Alternative Acquisition Agreement (other than an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement) whether or not permitted by Section 6.5.

Section 8.2 Effect of Termination. In the event that this Agreement is terminated and the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement are abandoned pursuant to Section 8.1, written notice thereof shall be given to the other party or parties, specifying the provisions hereof pursuant to which such termination is made and describing the basis therefor in reasonable detail, and this Agreement shall forthwith become null and void and of no further

force or effect whatsoever without liability on the part of any party hereto (or any of the Company Subsidiaries, Parent Subsidiaries or any of the Company’s or Parent’s respective Representatives), and all rights and obligations of any party hereto shall cease; provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything in the foregoing to the contrary (a) no such termination shall relieve any party hereto of any liability or damages resulting from or arising out of any willful or intentional breach of this Agreement; and (b) the Confidentiality Agreement, this Section 8.2, Section 8.3, Section 8.6, Article IX and the definitions of all defined terms appearing in such sections shall survive any termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1. If this Agreement is terminated as provided herein, all filings, applications and other submissions made pursuant to this Agreement, to the extent practicable, shall be withdrawn from the agency or other person to which they were made.

Section 8.3 Termination Fee.

(a) In the event this Agreement is terminated by the Company pursuant to Section 8.1(c)(ii) or by Parent pursuant to Section 8.1(d)(ii), then the Company shall pay, or cause to be paid, to Parent the Termination Fee, by wire transfer of same day funds to an account designated by Parent, within two (2) Business Days of such termination.

(b) In the event this Agreement is terminated by the Company pursuant to Section 8.1(c)(iii), then Parent shall pay, or cause to be paid, to the Company the Termination Fee, by wire transfer of same day funds to an account designated by the Company within two (2) Business Days of such termination.

(c) In the event that, prior to the Company Stockholder Meeting, a Company Acquisition Proposal is publicly proposed or publicly disclosed and this Agreement is terminated by Parent or the Company pursuant to Section 8.1(b)(iii) or by Parent pursuant to Section 8.1(d)(i) as a result of a willful breach by the Company or Section 8.1(d)(ii)(A), then the Company shall pay to Parent the Expenses of Parent within two (2) Business Days after receipt following such termination of documentation supporting such Expenses of Parent. If, concurrently, or within twelve (12) months after any such termination described in the immediately preceding sentence, the Company enters into a definitive agreement with respect to, or otherwise consummates, any Company Acquisition Proposal (substituting fifty percent (50%) for the twenty percent (20%) threshold set forth in the definition of “Company Acquisition Proposal”) for all purposes under this Section 8.3(c), then the Company shall pay to Parent the Termination Fee as promptly as possible (but in any event within two (2) Business Days) following the consummation of such Company Acquisition Proposal, unless the Termination Fee has already been paid to Parent pursuant to Section 8.1(a). Parent’s right to receive the one-time payment of the Termination Fee (if and when due) and the Expenses of Parent from the Company as provided in this Section 8.3(c) shall be the sole and exclusive remedy available to Parent against the Company with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby in the event that this Agreement is terminated by Parent or the Company pursuant to Section 8.1(b)(iii) or by Parent pursuant to Section 8.1(d)(i) as a result of a willful breach by the Company or Section 8.1(d)(ii)(A).

(d) In the event that, prior to Parent Shareholder Meeting, (i) a Parent Acquisition Proposal is publicly proposed or publicly disclosed, (ii) the Third Party making such

Parent Acquisition Proposal has publicly indicated to the Parent shareholders to the effect that they should not vote in favor of any of the matters required by the Parent Shareholder Approval, and (iii) this Agreement is terminated by Parent or the Company pursuant to Section 8.1(b)(iv) or by the Company pursuant to Section 8.1(c)(i) as a result of a willful breach by Parent, then Parent shall pay to the Company the Expenses of the Company within two (2) Business Days after receipt following such termination of documentation supporting such Expenses of the Company. If, concurrently, or within twelve (12) months after any such termination described in the immediately preceding sentence, the Parent enters into a definitive agreement with respect to, or otherwise consummates, any Parent Acquisition Proposal for all purposes under this Section 8.3(d), then Parent shall pay to the Company the Termination Fee as promptly as possible (but in any event within two (2) Business Days) following the consummation of such Parent Acquisition Proposal. The Company’s right to receive the one-time payment of the Termination Fee (if and when due) and the Expenses of the Company from Parent as provided in this Section 8.3(d) shall be the sole and exclusive remedy available to the Company against Parent with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby in the event that this Agreement is terminated by the Company or Parent pursuant to Section 8.1(b)(iv) or by the Company pursuant to Section 8.1(c)(i) as a result of a willful breach by Parent.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, the parties agree that:

(i) under no circumstances shall the Company be required to pay the Termination Fee earlier than one (1) full Business Day after receipt of appropriate wire transfer instructions from Parent; and

(ii) under no circumstances shall the Company be required to pay the Termination Fee on more than one occasion.

(f) Each of the parties hereto acknowledges that (i) the agreements contained in this Section 8.3 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (ii) the Termination Fee is not a penalty, but is liquidated damages, in a reasonable amount that will compensate the Company or Parent, as the case may be, in the circumstances in which such fee is payable for the efforts and resources expended and opportunities foregone while negotiating this Agreement and in reliance on this Agreement and on the expectation of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, which amount would otherwise be impossible to calculate with precision, and (iii) without these agreements, the parties would not enter into this Agreement; accordingly, if the Company or Parent, as the case may be, fails to timely pay any amount due pursuant to this Section 8.3 and, in order to obtain such payment, either the Company or Parent, as the case may be, commences a suit that results in a judgment against the other party for the payment of any amount set forth in this Section 8.3, such paying party shall pay the other party its costs and Expenses in connection with such suit, together with interest on such amount at the annual rate of ten percent (10%) for the period from the date such payment was required to be made through the date such payment was actually received, or such lesser rate as is the maximum permitted by applicable Law.

Section 8.4 Amendment. Subject to compliance with applicable Law, this Agreement may be amended by mutual agreement of the parties hereto by action taken or authorized by their

respective boards of directors (or similar governing body or entity) at any time before or after receipt of the Company Stockholder Approval and prior to the Effective Time; provided, however, that after the Company Stockholder Approval has been obtained, there shall not be (a) any amendment of this Agreement that changes the amount or the form of the consideration to be delivered under this Agreement to the holders of Company Common Stock, or which by applicable Law or in accordance with the rules of any stock exchange requires the further approval of the stockholders of the Company or Parent without such further approval of such stockholders, or (b) any amendment or change not permitted under applicable Law. This Agreement may not be amended except by an instrument in writing signed by each of the parties hereto.

Section 8.5 Waiver. At any time prior to the Effective Time, subject to applicable Law, any party hereto may (a) extend the time for the performance of any obligation or other act of any other party hereto, (b) waive any inaccuracy in the representations and warranties of the other party contained herein or in any document delivered pursuant hereto, and (c) subject to the proviso of Section 8.4, waive compliance with any agreement or condition contained herein. Any agreement on the part of a party hereto to any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed by the party or parties to be bound thereby. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no failure or delay by the Company, Parent or Merger 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.

Section 8.6 Fees and Expenses. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, all Expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be paid by the party incurring such expenses, whether or not the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are consummated; provided, however, that the Company and Parent shall share equally all Expenses related to the printing and filing of the Form F-4 and the printing, filing and distribution of the Proxy Statement and the Circular, other than attorneys’ and accountants’ fees.

Section 9.3 Interpretation; Certain Definitions. The parties hereto have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. Consequently, in the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties hereto, and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring

or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any provision of this Agreement. When a reference is made in this Agreement to an Article, Section, Schedule or Exhibit, such reference shall be to an Article or Section of, or a Schedule or Exhibit to, this Agreement, unless otherwise indicated. The table of contents and headings for this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. Whenever the words “include,” “includes” or “including” are used in this Agreement, they shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation.” 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 not to any particular provision of this Agreement. All terms defined in this Agreement shall have the defined meanings when used in any certificate or other instrument made or delivered pursuant hereto unless otherwise defined therein. 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. Any Law defined or referred to herein or in any agreement or instrument that is referred to herein means such Law as from time to time amended, modified or supplemented, including (in the case of statutes) by succession of comparable successor Laws. References to a person are also to its successors and permitted assigns. All references to “dollars” or “$” refer to currency of the United States of America.

Section 9.4 Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced under any present or future Law, or public policy, (a) such term or other provision shall be fully separable, (b) this Agreement shall be construed and enforced as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never comprised a part hereof, and (c) all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall not be affected by the illegal, invalid or unenforceable term or other provision or by its severance herefrom so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that transactions contemplated by this Agreement be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.

Section 9.5 Assignment; Delegation. Neither this Agreement nor any rights, interests or obligations hereunder shall be assigned or delegated, in whole or in part, by any of the parties hereto (whether by operation of Law or otherwise) without the prior written consent of the other parties hereto (except to the Surviving Entity).

Section 9.6 Entire Agreement. This Agreement (including the exhibits, annexes and appendices hereto) constitutes, together with the Confidentiality Agreement, the Company Disclosure Letter and the Parent Disclosure Letter, the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the parties, or any of them, with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof.

Section 9.7 No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is not intended to and shall not confer any rights or remedies upon any person other than the parties hereto and their

respective successors and permitted assigns, except for the provisions of Section 6.9 and 6.17. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the parties acknowledge and agree that the provisions contained in Section 6.23 are included for the sole and exclusive benefit of the respective parties hereto and shall not create any right, express or implied in any other Person. The representations and warranties in this Agreement are the product of negotiations among the parties hereto and are for the sole benefit of the parties hereto. Any inaccuracies in such representations and warranties are subject to waiver by the parties hereto in accordance with Section 8.5 without notice or liability to any other person. The representations and warranties in this Agreement may represent an allocation among the parties hereto of risks associated with particular matters regardless of the knowledge of any of the parties hereto. Accordingly, persons other than the parties hereto 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.

Section 9.8 Specific Performance. The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage, for which monetary damages (even if available) would not be an adequate remedy, would occur in the event that the parties hereto do not perform the provisions of this Agreement (including failing to take such actions as are required of it hereunder to consummate the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement) in accordance with its specified terms or otherwise breach such provisions. Accordingly, the parties acknowledge and agree that the parties shall be entitled to an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof, in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at Law or in equity. Each of the parties agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief on the basis that any other party has an adequate remedy at Law or that any award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at Law or in equity. Any party seeking an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with any such order or injunction.

Section 9.9 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, and by the different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when executed shall be deemed to be an original but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by facsimile transmission or by e-mail of a pdf attachment shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

Section 9.10 Governing Law. This Agreement and all actions, proceedings or counterclaims (whether based on contract, tort or otherwise) directly or indirectly arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the actions of Parent, Merger Sub or the Company in the negotiation, administration, performance and enforcement thereof, shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any choice or conflict of Laws provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the Laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware.

Section 9.11 Consent to Jurisdiction.

(a) Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of Delaware and to the jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the District of Delaware, for the purpose of any action, proceeding or counterclaim (whether based on contract, tort or otherwise) directly or indirectly arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the actions of the parties hereto in the negotiation, administration, performance and enforcement thereof, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably agrees that all claims in respect to such action or proceeding may be heard and determined exclusively in any state or federal court located in the State of Delaware.

EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO 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 SUCH PARTY UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF THIS WAIVER, (C) EACH SUCH PARTY MAKES THIS WAIVER VOLUNTARILY, AND (D) EACH SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 9.12.
