shares under the Program is 36,050,000 shares of Common Stock. The Shares may be authorized, but unissued, or reacquired Common Stock. 
 (b) Full Value Awards. Any Shares subject to Awards of Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units, Performance Units, Performance Shares and Stock Appreciation Rights, will be counted against the numerical limits
of this Section 3 as two (2) Shares for every one (1) Share subject thereto. Further, if Shares acquired pursuant to any such Award are forfeited or repurchased by the Company and would otherwise return to the Program pursuant to
Section 3(c), two (2) times the number of Shares so forfeited or repurchased will return to the Program and will again become available for issuance.

shares) which were subject thereto will become available for future grant or sale under the Program (unless the Program has terminated). With respect to Stock Appreciation Rights, only Shares actually issued pursuant to a Stock Appreciation Right
will cease to be available under the Program; all remaining Shares under Stock Appreciation Rights will remain available for future grant or sale under the Program (unless the Program has terminated). However, Shares that have actually been issued
under the Program under any Award will not be returned to the Program and will not become available for future distribution under the Program; provided, however, that if unvested Shares of Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units, Performance Shares
or Performance Units are repurchased by the Company or are forfeited to the Company, such Shares will become available for future grant under the Program. Shares used to pay the tax and exercise price of an Award will become available for future
grant or sale under the Program. To the extent an Award under the Program is paid out in cash rather than Shares, such cash payment will not result in reducing the number of Shares available for issuance under the Program. Notwithstanding the
foregoing and, subject to adjustment provided in Section 15, the maximum number of Shares that may be issued upon the exercise of Incentive Stock Options shall equal the aggregate Share number stated in Section 3(a), plus, to the extent
allowable under Section 422 of the Code, any Shares that become available for issuance under the Program under this Section 3(c). 

 4. Administration of the Program. 
 (a) Procedure. 
 (i) Multiple Administrative Bodies. The Program may be administered by different Committees with respect to different groups of Employees or Consultants. 
 (ii) Section 162(m). To the extent that the Administrator determines it to be desirable to qualify Options granted hereunder
as “performance-based compensation” within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code, the Program shall be administered by a Committee of two or more “outside directors” within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code.

 (iii) Rule 16b-3. To the extent desirable to qualify transactions hereunder as exempt under Rule 16b-3,
the transactions contemplated hereunder shall be structured to satisfy the requirements for exemption under Rule 16b-3. 
 (iv) Other Administration. Other than as provided above, the Program shall be administered by (A) the Board or (B) a Committee, which committee shall be constituted to satisfy Applicable Laws. 
 (b) Power of the Administrator. Subject to the provisions of the Program, the Administrator shall have the authority, in its
discretion: (i) to determine the terms and conditions of any Award granted hereunder (which need not be identical) consistent with the terms of the Program; (ii) to approve forms of agreement for use under the Program; (iii) to
determine, upon review of relevant information and in accordance with Section 7(b)(ii) of the Program, the fair market value of the Common Stock; (iv) to determine the exercise price per share of Options and Stock Appreciation Rights to be
granted, which exercise price shall be determined in accordance with Sections 7 and 11 of the Program; (v) to select the Employees or Consultants to whom Awards may be granted hereunder (except with respect to automatic Option grants made
to certain Outside Directors); (vi) to interpret the Program; (vii) to prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations relating to the Program; (viii) to modify or amend each Award with the consent of the holder thereof;
(ix) to authorize any person to execute on behalf of the Company any instrument required to effectuate the grant of an Award previously granted by the Administrator; (x) to allow Participants to satisfy withholding tax obligations by
electing to have the Company withhold from the Shares to be issued upon exercise of an Award that number of Shares having a Fair Market Value equal to the minimum amount required to be withheld; (xi) to grant in addition to the incentives
described in Sections 7, 9, 10, 11 and 12 below, other incentives payable in cash or Shares under the Program as determined by the Administrator to be in the best interests of the Company and subject to any terms and conditions the
Administrator deems advisable; and (xii) to make all other determinations deemed necessary or advisable for the administration of the Program. However, with respect to Options granted to certain Outside Directors pursuant to Section 8
hereof, the Administrator shall exercise no discretion and such awards shall be administered solely according to their terms. 
 (c) Effect of Administrator’s Decision. All decisions, determinations and interpretations of the Administrator shall be final and binding on all Participants and any other holders of any Awards granted under the Program.

 5. Eligibility. Nonstatutory Stock Options, Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units, Stock Appreciation Rights, Performance Units,
Performance Shares and such other cash or stock awards as the Administrator determines may be granted to Employees and Consultants; Options may also be granted to Outside Directors who are neither employees nor representatives of stockholders owning
more than one percent (1%) of the outstanding shares of the Company. However, (i) Incentive Stock Options may be granted only to Employees, and (ii) Options may only be granted to Outside Directors who are neither Employees nor
representatives of stockholders owning more than one percent (1%) of the outstanding shares of the Company in accordance with the provisions of Section 8 hereof. An Employee, Consultant or Outside Director who has been granted an
Award may, if he or she is otherwise eligible, be granted an additional Award or Awards. 

 6. Limitations. 
 (a) Exercise Price; Repricing. No Awards of Options or Stock Appreciation Rights may be granted with an exercise price or purchase
price that is less than 100% of the Fair Market Value per share on the date of grant. The Administrator may not modify or amend an Option or Stock Appreciation Right to reduce the exercise price of such Option or Stock Appreciation Right after it
has been granted (except for adjustments made pursuant to Section 15) nor may the Administrator cancel any outstanding Option or Stock Appreciation Right and immediately replace it with a new Option or Stock Appreciation Right with a lower
exercise price, unless, in either case, such action is approved by the Company’s stockholders. 
 (b) Outside
Directors. 
 (i) No Awards may be granted to Outside Directors owning more than one percent (1%) of the outstanding
shares of the Company. 
 (ii) No Options will be granted to Directors who are also Employees pursuant to the provisions of
Section 8. The provisions set forth in Section 8 hereof shall not be amended more than once every six months, other than to comport with changes in the Code, the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 as amended, or the rules or
regulations promulgated thereunder. 
 (c) Section 162(m). 
 (i) The President and/ or Chief Executive Officer of the Company shall not be granted, in any fiscal year of the Company, Options to
purchase more than 1,500,000 Shares, and no other Employee shall be granted, in any fiscal year of the Company, Options to purchase more than 500,000 Shares. 
 (ii) During any fiscal year of the Company, no Participant will receive more than an aggregate of 250,000 Shares of Restricted Stock;
provided, however, that in connection with a Participant’s initial service as an Employee, an Employee may be granted an aggregate of up to an additional 250,000 Shares of Restricted Stock. 
 (iii) During any fiscal year of the Company, no Participant will receive more than an aggregate of 250,000 Restricted Stock Units;
provided, however, that in connection with a Participant’s initial service as an Employee, an Employee may be granted an aggregate of up to an additional 250,000 Restricted Stock Units.

Appreciation Rights to purchase more than 750,000 Shares, and no other Employee shall be granted, in any fiscal year of the Company, Stock Appreciation Rights to purchase more than 250,000 Shares. 
 (v) During any fiscal year, (a) no Participant will receive Performance Units having an initial value greater than $250,000, and
(b) no Participant will receive more than 250,000 Performance Shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing limitation, in connection with a Participant’s initial service as an Employee, an Employee may be granted up to an additional 250,000
Performance Shares. 
 (d) Incentive Stock Options. 
 (i) Each Option will be designated in the Award Agreement as either an Incentive Stock Option or a Nonstatutory Stock Option. However,
notwithstanding such designation, to the extent that the aggregate fair market value of Shares subject to an Optionee’s incentive stock options granted by the Company, any Parent or Subsidiary, which become exercisable for the first time during
any calendar year (under all plans or programs of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary) exceeds $100,000, such excess Options shall be treated as Nonstatutory Stock Options. For purposes of this Section 6(d)(i), incentive stock options shall
be taken into account in the order in which they were granted, and the fair market value of the Shares shall be determined as of the time of grant. 

 (ii) In the case of an Incentive Stock Option granted to an Employee who, at the time of
grant of such Incentive Stock Option owns stock representing more than ten percent (10%) of the voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary, the per Share exercise price shall be no less than 110% of the fair
market value per Share on the date of grant. 
 (iii) The term of each Incentive Stock Option shall be ten (10) years
from the date of grant thereof or such shorter term as may be provided by the Administrator. However, in the case of an Incentive Stock Option granted to an Optionee who, at the time the Option is granted, owns stock representing more than ten
percent (10%) of the voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary, the term of the Option shall be five (5) years from the date of grant thereof or such shorter time as may be provided by the
Administrator, or (b) if the Option is not an Incentive Stock Option, the term of the Option shall be five (5) years and one (1) day from the date of grant thereof or such shorter term as may be provided by the Administrator.

 (e) Term of Nonstatutory Stock Option. The term of each Nonstatutory Stock Option shall be ten (10) years and
one (1) day from the date of grant thereof or such shorter term as may be provided by the Administrator. In the case of a Nonstatutory Stock Option granted to an Optionee who, at the time the Option is granted, owns stock representing more than
ten percent (10%) of the voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary the Option is not an Incentive Stock Option, the term of the Option shall be five (5) years and one (1) day from the date of
grant thereof or such shorter term as may be provided by the Administrator. 
 (f) Reload Awards. The Administrator
will not be permitted to grant an Option with a “reload” feature whereby a Participant who exercises an Option with Shares is immediately and automatically granted a new Option for the number of Shares used to exercise the original Option
and with the same terms as the original Option, except with an exercise price equal to the then Fair Market Value. 
 7. Stock
Options. 
 (a) Limitations. 
 (i) The following limitations shall apply to grants of Options under the Program (defined below): 
 (A) The President and/ or Chief Executive Officer of the Company shall not be granted, in any fiscal year of the Company, options to
purchase more than 1,500,000 Shares, and no other Employee shall be granted, in any fiscal year of the Company, Options to purchase more than 500,000 Shares. 
 (B) The foregoing limitations shall be adjusted proportionately in connection with any change in the Company’s capitalization as
described in Section 15. 
 (C) The foregoing limitations set forth in this Section 7(a) are intended to satisfy
the requirements applicable to Options intended to qualify as “performance-based compensation” (within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code). In the event the Administrator determines that such limitations are not required to
qualify Options as performance-based compensation, the Administrator may modify or eliminate such limitations. 
 (b)
Option Exercise Price and Consideration. 
 (i) The per Share exercise price for the Shares to be issued pursuant to
exercise of an Option shall be such price as is determined by the Administrator, but in no event shall it be less than 100% of the fair market value per Share on the date of grant. In the case of an Incentive Stock Option granted to an Employee who,
at the time of grant of such Incentive Stock Option owns stock representing more than ten percent (10%) of the voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary, the per Share exercise price shall be no less than
110% of the fair market value per Share on the date of grant. 
 (ii) The fair market value shall be determined by the
Administrator; provided, however, in the event that the Common Stock is listed on any established stock exchange or a national market system, including without limitation the Nasdaq National Market or The Nasdaq SmallCap Market of The Nasdaq Stock
Market, its fair market value shall be the closing sales 

 
price for such stock (or the closing bid, if no sales were reported) as quoted on such exchange or system for the trading day that is the time of
determination (or if such time of determination does not occur on a trading day, the last trading day prior to the time of determination), as reported in The Wall Street Journal or such other source as the Administrator deems reliable; or in
the event that the Common Stock is regularly quoted by a recognized securities dealer but selling prices are not reported, the fair market value of a Share of Common Stock shall be the mean between the high bid and low asked prices for the Common
Stock on the last market trading day prior to the day of determination, as reported in The Wall Street Journal or such other source as the Administrator deems reliable. 
 (iii) The consideration to be paid for the Shares to be issued upon exercise of an Option, including the method of payment, shall be
determined by the Board and may consist entirely of: 
 (A) cash, 
 (B) check, 
 (C) delivery of a properly executed exercise notice together with such other documentation as the Administrator and the broker, if applicable, shall require to effect an exercise of the Option and delivery to the Company of the sale
proceeds required to pay the exercise price, or 
 (D) any combination of such methods of payment. 
 In making its determination as to the type of consideration to accept, the Administrator shall consider if acceptance of such
consideration may be reasonably expected to benefit the Company. 
 However, with respect to Options granted to certain
Outside Directors pursuant to Section 8 hereof, the consideration to be paid for the Shares to be issued upon exercise of an Option, including the method of payment, shall consist entirely of the types of consideration listed in
Section 7(b)(iii)(A), (B), (C), (D) and (E) above. 
 (c) Term of Option. The term of each Option shall
be ten (10) years from the date of grant thereof or such shorter term as may be provided by the Administrator. The term of each Option that is not an Incentive Stock Option shall be ten (10) years and one (1) day from the date of
grant thereof or such shorter term as may be provided by the Administrator. However, in the case of an Option granted to an Optionee who, at the time the Option is granted, owns stock representing more than ten percent (10%) of the voting power
of all classes of stock of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary, (a) if the Option is an Incentive Stock Option, the term of the Option shall be five (5) years from the date of grant thereof or such shorter time as may be provided by
the Administrator, or (b) if the Option is not an Incentive Stock Option, the term of the Option shall be five (5) years and one (1) day from the date of grant thereof or such shorter term as may be provided by the Administrator.
However, with respect to Options granted to certain Outside Directors pursuant to Section 8 hereof the term shall be as stated in such Section. 
 (d) Exercise of Option. 
 (i) Procedure for Exercise; Rights as a Stockholder.
Any Option granted hereunder, except for Options granted to certain Outside Directors in accordance with Section 8, shall be exercisable at such times and under such conditions as determined by the Administrator, including performance criteria
with respect to the Company and/or the Optionee, and shall be permissible under the terms of the Program. 
 (A) An Option
may not be exercised for a fraction of a Share. 
 (B) An Option shall be deemed to be exercised when written notice of such
exercise has been given to the Company either by a signed writing or electronic transmission in accordance with the terms of the Option by the person entitled to exercise the Option and full payment for the Shares with respect to which the Option is
exercised, together with any applicable withholding taxes, has been received by the 

 
Company. Full payment may, as authorized by the Administrator, consist of any consideration and method of payment allowable under Section 7(b)(iii) of
the Program. Until the issuance (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company) of the stock certificate evidencing such Shares, which issuance shall be made as soon as is
practicable, no right to vote or receive dividends or any other rights as a stockholder shall exist with respect to the Optioned Stock, notwithstanding the exercise of the Option. The Company shall issue (or cause to be issued) such stock
certificate promptly upon exercise of the Option. No adjustment will be made for a dividend or other right for which the record date is prior to the date the stock certificate is issued, except as provided in Section 15 of the Program.

 (C) Exercise of an Option in any manner shall result in a decrease in the number of Shares which thereafter may be
available, both for purposes of the Program and for sale under the Option, by the number of Shares as to which the Option is exercised. 
 (ii) Termination of Status as an Employee, Consultant or Outside Director. Unless otherwise provided by the Administrator, in the event of termination of an Optionee’s Continuous Status as an Employee,
Consultant or Outside Director, such Optionee may, but only within ninety (90) days (or, for Options not granted pursuant to Section 8 hereof, for such other period of time, not exceeding 90 days in the case of an Incentive Stock Option or
six (6) months in the case of a Nonstatutory Stock Option, as is determined by the Administrator, with such determination in the case of an Incentive Stock Option being made at the time of grant of the Option) after the date of such termination
(but in no event later than the date of expiration of the term of such Option as set forth in the Option Agreement), exercise his or her Option to the extent that the Optionee was entitled to exercise it as of the date of such termination. To the
extent that the Optionee was not entitled to exercise the Option at the date of such termination, or if the Optionee does not exercise such Option (which the Optionee was entitled to exercise) within the time specified herein, the Option shall
terminate. 
 (iii) Disability of Optionee. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 7(d)(ii) above, unless
otherwise provided by the Administrator, in the event of termination of an Optionee’s Continuous Status as an Employee, Consultant or Outside Director as a result of his or her total and permanent disability (as defined in Section 22(e)(3)
of the Code), the Optionee may, until the date of expiration of the term of such Option as set forth in the Option Agreement (or such shorter period of time as provided by the Administrator), exercise his or her Option to the extent the Optionee was
entitled to exercise it at the date of such termination. To the extent that the Optionee was not entitled to exercise the Option at the date of termination, or if the Optionee does not exercise such Option (which the Optionee was entitled to
exercise) within the time specified herein, the Option shall terminate. 
 (iv) Death of Optionee. In the event of the
death of an Optionee: 
 (A) during the term of the Option, where the Optionee is at the time of his or her death an
Employee, Consultant or Outside Director of the Company and where such Optionee shall have been in Continuous Status as an Employee, Consultant or Outside Director since the date of grant of the Option, the Option may be exercised, at any time
within one (1) year following the date of death, by the Optionee’s estate or by a person who acquired the right to exercise the Option by bequest or inheritance, to the extent that he or she was entitled to exercise it at the date of
death; or 
 (B) within ninety (90) days after the termination of Continuous Status as an Employee, Consultant or
Outside Director by the Company without cause, the Option may be exercised, at any time within one (1) year following the date of death, by the Optionee’s estate or by a person who acquired the right to exercise the Option by bequest or
inheritance, but only to the extent of the right to exercise that had accrued at the date of termination. 

 (v) Retirement. Notwithstanding the provisions of
Section 7(d)(ii) above, unless otherwise provided by the Administrator, in the event of termination of an Optionee’s Continuous Status as an Employee, Consultant or Outside Director as a result of his or her Retirement, the Optionee
may, until the date of expiration of the term of such Option as set forth in the Option Agreement (or such shorter period of time as provided by the Administrator), exercise his or her Option to the extent the Optionee was entitled to exercise it at
the date of such termination. To the extent that the Optionee was not entitled to exercise the Option at the date of termination, or if the Optionee does not exercise such Option (which the Optionee was entitled to exercise) within the time
specified by the Administrator, the Option shall terminate. 
 8. Automatic Option Grants to Certain Outside Directors. The provisions
set forth in this Section 8 shall not be amended more than once every six months, other than to comport with changes in the Code, the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 as amended, or the rules or regulations promulgated
thereunder. All grants of Options to Outside Directors under this Program shall be automatic and non-discretionary and shall be made strictly in accordance with the following provisions: 
 (a) No person shall have any discretion to select which Outside Directors shall be granted Options or to determine the number of shares to
be covered by Options granted to Outside Directors; provided, however, that nothing in this Program shall be construed to prevent an Outside Director from declining to receive an Option under this Program. 
 (b) Upon a person’s initial election or appointment as an Outside Director, he or she shall automatically receive an Option (the
“Initial Director Grant”) to purchase 33,000 Shares; provided, however that an Inside Director who ceases to be an Inside Director but who remains a Director shall not receive such automatic grant. 
 (c) On the date of each annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders, each person who is then an Outside Director and who was an
Outside Director from the date of the previous annual meeting through the date of the current annual meeting, and who is not a representative of stockholders owning more than one percent (1%) of the outstanding shares of the Company shall
automatically receive an Option to purchase 17,500 Shares (the “Complete Annual Director Grant”). 
 (d) Each
Outside Director who is not a representative of stockholders owning more than one percent (1%) of the outstanding shares of the Company and who first becomes an Outside Director as of a date other than the date of an annual meeting of the
Company’s stockholders shall automatically receive upon the date of the annual stockholder’s meeting immediately following the date he or she first becomes an Outside Director, an Option (the “Partial Director Annual
Grant” and collectively with the Complete Annual Grant, the “Annual Director Grants”) to purchase that number of Shares obtained by multiplying 17,500 by a fraction, the numerator of which is the difference obtained by
subtracting from twelve (12) the number of whole calendar months that elapse from the date such person first becomes an Outside Director through the date of the annual meeting immediately following the date he or she first becomes an Outside
Director and the denominator of which is 12. 
 (e) On the date of each annual meeting of the Company’s
stockholders, each Outside Director who acts as the Chairman of the Board shall automatically receive an Option to purchase 2,500 Shares, if immediately after such meeting, he or she shall continue to serve as the Chairman of the Board (the
“Chairman Grant”). 
 (f) The terms of an Option granted pursuant to this Section 8 shall be as follows:

 (i) the term of the Annual Director Grants and the Chairman Grant shall be five (5) years and the term of the Initial
Director Grants shall be 10 years; 
 (ii) except as provided in Sections 7(d)(ii), 7(d)(iii), 7(d)(iv), and
7(d)(v) of this Program, the Option shall be exercisable only while the Outside Director remains a Director; 
 (iii) the
exercise price per share of Common Stock shall be 100% of the fair market value on the date of grant of the Option; 

 (iv) the Annual Director Grants and the Chairman Grant shall become exercisable in
installments cumulatively with respect to twenty-five percent (25%) of the Optioned Stock six months after the date of grant and as to an additional twelve and one-half percent (12.5%) of the Optioned Stock each calendar quarter
thereafter, so that one hundred percent (100%) of the Optioned Stock shall be exercisable two years after the date of grant, subject to the Outside Director remaining a Director through each applicable vesting date; provided, however, that in
no event shall any Option be exercisable prior to obtaining stockholder approval of the Program. 
 (v) the Initial Director
Grants shall become exercisable in installments cumulatively with respect to twenty-eight percent (28%) of the Optioned Stock one year after the date of grant and as to an additional two percent (2%) of the Optioned Stock each calendar
month thereafter, so that one hundred percent (100%) of the Optioned Stock shall be exercisable four years after the date of grant, subject to the Outside Director remaining a Director through each applicable vesting date. 
 9. Restricted Stock. 
 (a) Grant of Restricted Stock. Subject to the terms and provisions of the Program, the Administrator, at any time and from time to time, may grant Shares of Restricted Stock to Employees or Consultants in such amounts as the
Administrator, in its sole discretion, will determine. 
 (b) Restricted Stock Agreement. Each Award of Restricted
Stock will be evidenced by an Award Agreement that will specify the Period of Restriction, the number of Shares granted, and such other terms and conditions as the Administrator, in its sole discretion, will determine. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
during any fiscal year no Participant will receive more than an aggregate of 250,000 Shares of Restricted Stock; provided, however, that in connection with a Participant’s initial service as an Employee, an Employee may be granted an aggregate
of up to an additional 250,000 Shares of Restricted Stock. Unless the Administrator determines otherwise, Shares of Restricted Stock will be held by the Company as escrow agent until the restrictions on such Shares have lapsed. 
 (c) Transferability. Except as provided in this Section 9, Shares of Restricted Stock may not be sold, transferred, pledged,
assigned, or otherwise alienated or hypothecated until the end of the applicable Period of Restriction. 
 (d) Vesting
Criteria and Other Terms. The Administrator will set the Period of Restriction, which, depending on the extent to which the vesting criteria are met, will determine the number of Shares of Restricted Stock that will be earned by the Participant.
The Administrator may set vesting criteria based upon the achievement of Company-wide, business unit, or individual goals (including, but not limited to, continued employment or service), or any other basis determined by the Administrator in its
discretion. 
 (e) Removal of Restrictions. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 9, Shares of Restricted
Stock covered by each Restricted Stock grant made under the Program will be released from escrow as soon as practicable after the last day of the Period of Restriction. The Administrator, in its discretion, may accelerate the time at which any
restrictions will lapse or be removed. 
 (f) Voting Rights. During the Period of Restriction, Employees or Consultants
holding Shares of Restricted Stock granted hereunder may exercise full voting rights with respect to those Shares, unless the Administrator determines otherwise. 
 (g) Dividends and Other Distributions. During the Period of Restriction, Employees or Consultants holding Shares of Restricted
Stock will not be entitled to receive any dividends or other distributions paid with respect to such, unless the Administrator determines otherwise. 
 (h) Return of Restricted Stock to Company. On the date set forth in the Award Agreement, the Restricted Stock for which restrictions have not lapsed will revert to the Company and again will become available
for grant under the Program. 

 10. Restricted Stock Units. 
 (a) Grant. Restricted Stock Units may be granted at any time and from time to time as determined by the Administrator. Each
Restricted Stock Unit grant shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement that shall specify such other terms and conditions as the Administrator, in its sole discretion, shall determine, including all terms, conditions, and restrictions related to the
grant, the number of Restricted Stock Units and the form of payout, which, subject to Section 10(d), may be left to the discretion of the Administrator. Notwithstanding the anything to the contrary in this subsection (a), during any fiscal year
of the Company, no Participant will receive more than an aggregate of 250,000 Restricted Stock Units; provided, however, that in connection with a Participant’s initial service as an Employee, an Employee may be granted an aggregate of up to an
additional 250,000 Restricted Stock Units. 
 (b) Vesting Criteria and Other Terms. The Administrator shall set vesting
criteria in its discretion, which, depending on the extent to which the criteria are met, will determine the number of Restricted Stock Units that will be paid out to the Participant. The Administrator may set vesting criteria based upon the
achievement of Company-wide, business unit, or individual goals (including, but not limited to, continued employment or service), or any other basis determined by the Administrator in its discretion. 
 (c) Earning Restricted Stock Units. Upon meeting the applicable vesting criteria, the Participant shall be entitled to receive a
payout as specified in the Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time after the grant of Restricted Stock Units, the Administrator, in its sole discretion, may reduce or waive any vesting criteria that must be
met to receive a payout. 
 (d) Form and Timing of Payment. Payment of earned Restricted Stock Units shall be made as
soon as practicable after the date(s) set forth in the Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement. The Administrator, in its sole discretion, may pay earned Restricted Stock Units in cash, Shares, or a combination thereof. Shares represented by
Restricted Stock Units that are fully paid in cash again shall be available for grant under the Plan. 
 (e)
Cancellation. On the date set forth in the Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement, all unearned Restricted Stock Units shall be forfeited to the Company. 
 11. Stock Appreciation Rights. 
 (a) Grant of Stock Appreciation Rights.
Subject to the terms and conditions of the Program, a Stock Appreciation Right may be granted to Employees or Consultants at any time and from time to time as will be determined by the Administrator, in its sole discretion. 
 (b) Number of Shares. The Administrator will have complete discretion to determine the number of Stock Appreciation Rights granted
to any Participant, provided that during any fiscal year, the President and/ or Chief Executive Officer of the Company shall not be granted Stock Appreciation Rights to purchase more than 750,000 Shares, and no other Employee shall be granted Stock
Appreciation Rights to purchase more than 250,000 Shares. 
 (c) Exercise Price and Other Terms. The Administrator,
subject to the provisions of the Program, will have complete discretion to determine the terms and conditions of Stock Appreciation Rights granted under the Program, provided, however, that the exercise price will be not less than one hundred
percent (100%) of the fair market value of a Share, determined in accordance with Section 7(b)(ii), on the date of grant. 
 (d) Stock Appreciation Right Agreement. Each Stock Appreciation Right grant will be evidenced by an Award Agreement that will specify the exercise price, the term of the Stock Appreciation Right, the conditions of exercise, and such
other terms and conditions as the Administrator, in its sole discretion, will determine. 
 (e) Expiration of Stock
Appreciation Rights. A Stock Appreciation Right granted under the Program will expire upon the date determined by the Administrator, in its sole discretion, and set forth in the Award Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the rules of
Section 7(d) also will apply to Stock Appreciation Rights. 

 (f) Payment of Stock Appreciation Right Amount. Upon exercise of a Stock
Appreciation Right, a Participant will be entitled to receive payment from the Company in an amount determined by multiplying: 
 (i) The difference between the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of exercise over the exercise price; times 
 (ii) The number of Shares with respect to which the Stock Appreciation Right is exercised. 
 At the discretion of
the Administrator, the payment upon Stock Appreciation Right exercise may be in cash, in shares of equivalent value, or in some combination thereof. 
 12. Performance Units and Performance Shares. 
 (a) Grant of Performance
Units/Shares. Performance Units and Performance Shares may be granted to Employees or Consultants at any time and from time to time, as will be determined by the Administrator, in its sole discretion. The Administrator will have complete
discretion in determining the number of Performance Units/Shares granted to each Participant provided that during any fiscal year, (a) no Participant will receive Performance Units having an initial value greater than $250,000, and (b) no
Participant will receive more than 250,000 Performance Shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing limitation, in connection with a Participant’s initial service as an Employee, an Employee may be granted up to an additional 250,000 Performance
Shares. 
 (b) Value of Performance Units/Shares. Each Performance Unit will have an initial value that is established
by the Administrator on or before the date of grant. Each Performance Share will have an initial value equal to the fair market value of a Share, determined in accordance with Section 7(b)(ii), on the date of grant. 
 (c) Performance Objectives and Other Terms. The Administrator will set performance objectives or other vesting provisions
(including, without limitation, continued status as a Service Provider) in its discretion which, depending on the extent to which they are met, will determine the number or value of Performance Units/Shares that will be paid out to the Participant.
The Administrator may set performance objectives based upon the achievement of Company-wide, divisional, or individual goals, or any other basis determined by the Administrator in its discretion. Each Award of Performance Units/Shares will be
evidenced by an Award Agreement that will specify the Performance Period, and such other terms and conditions as the Administrator, in its sole discretion, will determine. 
 (d) Earning of Performance Units/Shares. After the applicable Performance Period has ended, the holder of Performance Units/Shares
will be entitled to receive a payout of the number of Performance Units/Shares earned by the Participant over the Performance Period, to be determined as a function of the extent to which the corresponding performance objectives or other vesting
provisions have been achieved. After the grant of a Performance Unit/Share, the Administrator, in its sole discretion, may reduce or waive any performance objectives or other vesting provisions for such Performance Unit/Share. 
 (e) Form and Timing of Payment of Performance Units/Shares. Payment of earned Performance Units/Shares will be made as soon as
practicable after the expiration of the applicable Performance Period. The Administrator, in its sole discretion, may pay earned Performance Units/Shares in the form of cash, in Shares (which have an aggregate Fair Market Value equal to the value of
the earned Performance Units/Shares at the close of the applicable Performance Period) or in a combination thereof. 
 (f)
Cancellation of Performance Units/Shares. On the date set forth in the Award Agreement, all unearned or unvested Performance Units/Shares will be forfeited to the Company, and again will be available for grant under the Program. 

13. Performance Goals. Awards of Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units, Performance Shares and Performance Units and other incentives under
the Program may be made subject to the attainment of performance goals relating to one or more business criteria within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the 

 
Code and may provide for a targeted level or levels of achievement (“Performance Goals”) including, but not limited to, cash flow; cash
position; earnings before interest and taxes; earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization; earnings per Share; economic profit; economic value added; equity or stockholder’s equity; market share; net income; net profit; net
sales; operating earnings; operating income; profit before tax; ratio of debt to debt plus equity; ratio of operating earnings to capital spending; sales growth; return on net assets; or total return to stockholders. Any Performance Goals may be
used to measure the performance of the Company as a whole or a business unit of the Company and may be measured relative to a peer group or index. The Performance Goals may differ from Participant to Participant and from Award to Award. Prior to the
Determination Date, the Administrator will determine whether any significant element(s) will be included in or excluded from the calculation of any Performance Goal with respect to any Participant. In all other respects, Performance Goals will be
calculated in accordance with the Company’s financial statements, generally accepted accounting principles, or under a methodology established by the Administrator prior to the issuance of an Award, which is consistently applied and identified
in the financial statements, including footnotes, or the management discussion and analysis section of the Company’s annual report. 
 14. Non-Transferability of Awards. During the lifetime of the Participant, an Award shall be exercisable only by the Participant or the Participant’s guardian, legal representative or permitted transferees. Except as specified
below, no Award may be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned, or otherwise alienated or hypothecated, other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. At the sole discretion of the Administrator, and subject to such terms and conditions
as the Administrator deems advisable, the Administrator may allow (a) the transfer of a Nonstatutory Stock Option to an Participant’s spouse, former spouse or dependent pursuant to a court-approved domestic relations order which relates to
the provision of child support, alimony payments or marital property rights and (b) the transfer of a Nonstatutory Stock Option by bona fide gift and not for any consideration, to (i) a member or members of the Participant’s Immediate
Family, (ii) a trust established for the exclusive benefit of the Participant and/or member(s) of the Participant’s Immediate Family, (iii) a partnership, limited liability company of other entity whose only partners or members are
the Participant and/or member(s) of the Participant’s Immediate Family, or (iv) a foundation in which the Participant and/or member(s) of the Participant’s Immediate Family control the management of the foundation’s assets.
“Immediate Family” as used herein means the spouse, lineal descendants, father, mother, brothers and sisters of the Participant. In such case, the transferee shall receive and hold the Option subject to the provisions of this
Section 14, and there shall be no further assignation or transfer of the Option. The terms of Options granted hereunder shall be binding upon the transferees, purchasers, executors, administrators, heirs, successors and assigns of the
Participant. 
 15. Adjustments Upon Changes In Capitalization or Merger. Subject to any required action by the stockholders of the
Company, the number of shares of Common Stock covered by each outstanding Award, and the number of shares of Common Stock which have been authorized for issuance under the Program but as to which no Awards have yet been granted or which have been
returned to the Program upon cancellation or expiration of an Award, as well as the price per share of Common Stock covered by each such outstanding Award, shall be proportionately adjusted for any change in or increase or decrease in the number of
issued shares of Common Stock resulting from a stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, combination or reclassification of the Common Stock, or any other change in or increase or decrease in the number of issued shares of Common Stock
effected without receipt of consideration by the Company; provided, however, that conversion of any convertible securities of the Company shall not be deemed to have been “effected without receipt of consideration.” Such adjustment shall
be made by the Administrator, whose determination in that respect shall be final, binding and conclusive. Except as expressly provided herein, no issuance by the Company of shares of stock of any class, or securities convertible into shares of stock
of any class, shall affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number or price of shares of Common Stock subject to an Award. 
 In the event of the proposed dissolution or liquidation of the Company, the Board shall notify the holder of an Award at least fifteen (15) days prior to such proposed action. To the extent it has not been
previously exercised, the Award will terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such proposed action. 

 In the event of a merger of the Company with or into another corporation, or the sale of all or
substantially all of the Company’s assets, the Award shall be assumed or an equivalent award shall be substituted by such successor corporation or a parent or subsidiary of such successor corporation, unless the Administrator determines, in the
exercise of its sole discretion and in lieu of such assumption or substitution, that (i) the Participant shall have the right to exercise the Award as to all of his or her Outstanding Options and Stock Appreciation Rights, including as to
Shares as to which such Award would not otherwise be exercisable, (ii) all restrictions on Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units will lapse, and, with respect to Performance Shares and Performance Units, all Performance Goals or other
vesting criteria will be deemed achieved at target levels and all other terms and conditions met. In addition, if an Option or Stock Appreciation Right becomes fully vested and exercisable in lieu of assumption or substitution in the event of a
merger or asset sale, the Administrator will notify the Participant in writing or electronically that the Option or Stock Appreciation Right will be fully vested and exercisable for thirty (30) days (or such other period of time as the
Administrator may determine) from the date of such notice, and the Option or Stock Appreciation Right will terminate upon the expiration of such period; provided, however, that notwithstanding any other provision of this Program, Options granted
pursuant to Section 8 hereof shall, in the event of a merger of the Company with or into another corporation or the sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets, be assumed or an equivalent option shall be substituted by such
successor corporation or a parent or subsidiary of such successor corporation; provided, further, however, that in the event the successor corporation or a parent or subsidiary of such successor corporation refuses to so assume or substitute such
Options, such Options shall become fully vested and exercisable including as to Shares as to which such Options would not otherwise be exercisable. For the purposes of this paragraph, an Award shall be considered assumed if, following the merger or
asset sale, the Award confers the right to purchase, for each Share subject to the Award immediately prior to the merger or asset sale, the consideration (whether stock, cash, or other securities or property) or, in the case of a Stock Appreciation
Right upon the exercise of which the Administrator determines to pay cash or a Restricted Stock Unit, Performance Share or Performance Unit which the Administrator can determine to pay in cash, received in the merger or asset sale by holders of
Common Stock for each Share held on the effective date of the transaction (and if holders were offered a choice of consideration, the type of consideration chosen by the holders of a majority of the outstanding Shares); provided, however, that if
such consideration received in the merger or sale of assets was not solely common stock of the successor corporation or its Parent, the Administrator may, with the consent of the successor corporation, provide for the consideration to be received
upon the exercise of the Option or Stock Appreciation Right or upon the payout of a Restricted Stock Unit, Performance Share or Performance Unit, for each Share subject to the Award (or in the case of Restricted Stock Units and Performance Units,
the number of implied Shares determined by dividing the value of the Restricted Stock Units and Performance Units by the per share consideration received by holders of Common Stock in the merger or sale of assets), to be solely common stock of the
successor corporation or its Parent equal in fair market value to the per share consideration received by holders of Common Stock in the merger or sale of assets. 
 Notwithstanding anything in this Section 15 to the contrary, an Award that vests, is earned or paid-out upon the satisfaction of one or more Performance Goals will not be considered assumed if the Company or its
successor modifies any of such Performance Goals without the Participant’s consent; provided, however, a modification to such Performance Goals only to reflect the successor corporation’s post-merger or sale of assets corporate structure
will not be deemed to invalidate an otherwise valid Award assumption. 
 16. Time of Granting Awards. The date of grant of an Award
shall be the date on which the Administrator makes the determination granting such Award, except with respect to the date of grant of Options to certain Outside Directors, which is set by the terms of the Program. Notice of the determination shall
be given to each Participant to whom an Award is granted within a reasonable time after the date of such grant. 
 17. No Effect on
Employment or Service. Neither the Program nor any Award shall confer upon any Participant any right with respect to continuation of employment or consulting relationship with the Company, nor shall it interfere in any way with the
Participant’s right or the Company’s right to terminate such employment or consulting relationship at any time with or without cause. 

 18. Amendment and Termination of the Program. 
 (a) Amendment and Termination. The Board may at any time amend, alter, suspend or terminate the Program. 
 (b) Stockholder Approval. The Company shall obtain stockholder approval of any Program amendment, including, without limitation,
the addition of Shares for issuance under the Program, to the extent necessary and desirable to comply with Applicable Laws. Such stockholder approval, if required, shall be obtained in such a manner and to such a degree as is required by the
Applicable Law. 
 (c) Effect of Amendment or Termination. No amendment, alteration, suspension or termination of the
Program shall impair the rights of any Participant, unless mutually agreed otherwise between the Participant and the Administrator, which agreement must be in writing and signed by the Participant and the Company. 
 19. Term of Program. The Program shall become effective upon the earlier to occur of its adoption by the Board or its approval by vote of the
stockholders of the Company as described in Section 23 of the Program. It shall continue in effect until February 9, 2015 unless sooner terminated under Section 18 of the Program. 
 20. Conditions Upon Issuance of Shares. Shares shall not be issued pursuant to the exercise of an Award unless the exercise of such Award and the
issuance and delivery of such Shares pursuant thereto shall comply with all relevant provisions of law, including, without limitation, the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), the Exchange Act, the rules and
regulations promulgated thereunder, and the requirements of any stock exchange upon which the Shares may then be listed, and shall be further subject to the approval of counsel for the Company with respect to such compliance. 
 As a condition to the exercise of an Award, the Company may require the person exercising such Award or making such purchase to represent and warrant at
the time of any such exercise that the Shares are being purchased only for investment and without any present intention to sell or distribute such Shares if, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, such a representation is required by any of the
aforementioned relevant provisions of law. 
 21. Reservation of Shares. The Company, during the term of this Program, will at all
times reserve and keep available such number of Shares as shall be sufficient to satisfy the requirements of the Program. 
 22. Inability
to Obtain Authority. Inability of the Company to obtain authority from any regulatory body having jurisdiction, which authority is deemed by the Company’s counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any Shares hereunder,
shall relieve the Company of any liability in respect of the failure to issue or sell such Shares as to which such requisite authority shall not have been obtained. 
 23. Stockholder Approval. Continuance of the Program shall be subject to approval by the stockholders of the Company within twelve months before or after the date the Program is adopted. Such stockholder
approval shall be obtained in the manner and to the degree required under applicable federal and state law.Agreement and Plan of Merger

 CONVERSION OF SHARES; EXCHANGE OF CERTIFICATES 
 SECTION 2.1 Effect on Capital Stock. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the Company, Merger Sub or the
holders of any securities of the Company or Merger Sub: 
 (a) Conversion of Company Common Stock. Subject to
Sections 2.1(b), 2.1(d), 2.1(e) and 5.5(a)(i) and (ii), each issued and outstanding share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (such shares, collectively,
“Company Common Stock,” and each, a “Share”), other than any Cancelled Shares (to the extent provided in Section 2.1(b)) and any Dissenting Shares (to the extent provided for in Section 2.1(e)) shall
thereupon be converted automatically into and shall thereafter represent the right to receive $1.00 in cash (the “Merger Consideration”). All Shares that have been converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration as
provided in this Section 2.1 shall be automatically cancelled and shall cease to exist, and the holders of certificates which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented such Shares shall cease to have any rights with respect to such
Shares other than the right to receive the Merger Consideration. 
 (b) Company, Parent and Merger Sub-Owned Shares. Each Share
that is owned, directly or indirectly, by Parent or Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time or held by the Company, or any Subsidiary of the Company, immediately prior to the Effective Time (in each case, other than any such Shares held
on behalf of third parties) (the “Cancelled Shares”) shall, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, be cancelled and retired and shall cease to exist, and no consideration shall be delivered
in exchange therefor. 
 (c) Conversion of Merger Sub Common Stock. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without
any action on the part of the holder thereof, each share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and become one validly issued, fully paid
and nonassessable share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Surviving Corporation with the same rights, powers and privileges as the shares so converted and shall constitute the only outstanding shares of capital stock of the
Surviving Corporation. From and after the Effective Time, all certificates representing the common stock of Merger Sub shall be deemed for all purposes to represent the number of shares of common stock of the Surviving Corporation into which they
were converted in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence. 
  

 3 

 (d) Adjustments. If at any time during the period between the date of this Agreement and
the Effective Time, any change in the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company shall occur as a result of any reclassification, recapitalization, stock split (including a reverse stock split) or combination, exchange or readjustment of
shares, or any stock dividend or stock distribution with a record date during such period, the Merger Consideration shall be equitably adjusted to reflect such change. 
 (e) Dissenting Shares. 
 (i) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement
to the contrary, no Shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, the holder of which (A) has not voted in favor of the Merger or consented thereto in writing, (B) has demanded its rights to appraisal in accordance
with Section 262 of the DGCL, and (C) has not effectively withdrawn or lost its rights to appraisal (the “Dissenting Shares”), shall be converted into or represent a right to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to
Section 2.1(a). By virtue of the Merger, all Dissenting Shares shall be cancelled and shall cease to exist and shall represent the right to receive only those rights provided under the DGCL. From and after the Effective Time, a holder of
Dissenting Shares shall not be entitled to exercise any of the voting rights or other rights of a stockholder of the Surviving Corporation. Any portion of the Merger Consideration made available to the Paying Agent pursuant to Section 2.2 to
pay for shares of Company Common Stock for which appraisal rights have been perfected shall be returned to Parent upon demand. 
 (ii) Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 2.1(e), if any holder of Shares who demands appraisal shall effectively withdraw or lose (through failure to perfect or otherwise) the right to appraisal, then, as of the later of the
Effective Time and the occurrence of such event, such holder’s Shares shall no longer be Dissenting Shares and shall automatically be converted into and represent only the right to receive the Merger Consideration, without any interest thereon
and less any required withholding Taxes. 
 (iii) The Company shall give Parent (A) notice of any written demands for
appraisal of any Shares, withdrawals of such demands, and any other instruments served pursuant to the DGCL and received by the Company which relate to any such demand for appraisal and (B) the opportunity reasonably to direct all negotiations
and proceedings (subject to the Company’s right to object to any actions or positions taken by Parent that it deems, in its sole discretion, unreasonable) with respect to demands for appraisal under the DGCL. The Company shall not, except with
the prior written consent of Parent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), make any payment with respect to any demands for appraisal or offer to settle or settle any such demands.

 SECTION 2.2 Exchange of Certificates. 
 (a) Paying Agent. Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall deposit, or shall cause to be deposited, with a bank or trust company that
is organized and doing business under the Laws of the United States or any state thereof, that shall be appointed to act as a paying agent hereunder and approved in advance by the Company in writing (and pursuant to an agreement in form and
substance reasonably acceptable to Parent and the Company) (the “Paying Agent”), in trust for the benefit of holders of the Shares, the Company Stock Options, the Restricted Stock and the PARSUs, cash in U.S. dollars sufficient
to pay (i) the aggregate Merger Consideration in exchange for all of the Shares outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than the Cancelled Shares and the Dissenting Shares), payable upon due surrender of the certificates that
immediately prior to the Effective Time represented Shares (“Certificates”) or non-certificated Shares represented by book-entry (“Book-Entry Shares”) pursuant to the provisions of this Article II and
(ii) the amounts payable pursuant to Section 5.5(a) (the “Option and Stock-Based Award Consideration”) (such cash referred to in this Section 2.2(a) being hereinafter referred to as the “Exchange
Fund”). 
 (b) Payment Procedures. 
 (i) As soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time and in any event not later than the second business day following the
Effective Time, the Paying Agent shall mail (x) to each holder of record of Shares whose Shares were converted into the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.1(a), (A) a letter of transmittal (which shall specify that delivery
shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares to the Paying Agent and shall be in such form and have such other provisions as Parent and the Company may mutually
agree), and (B) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares in exchange for the Merger Consideration, and (y) to each holder of a Company Stock Option, Restricted Stock or PARSU, instructions for
use in effecting the surrender of Company Stock Options, Restricted Stock or PARSUs and delivery of such other documents as may be reasonably required by the Surviving Corporation and Parent in exchange for Option and Stock-Based Award
Consideration. No interest shall be paid or accrued on such amounts. 
 (ii) Upon surrender of Certificates or Book-Entry
Shares to the Paying Agent together with such letter of transmittal, duly completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto, and such other documents as may reasonably be required thereby or by the Paying Agent, the holder
of such Certificates or Book-Entry Shares shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor a check in an amount equal to the product of (x) the number of Shares previously represented by such holder’s properly surrendered Certificates or
Book-Entry Shares multiplied by (y) the Merger Consideration. No interest will be paid or accrued on any amount payable upon due surrender of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares. In the event of a transfer of ownership of Shares that is not
registered in the transfer records of the Company, a check for any cash to be paid upon due surrender of the Certificate may be paid to such a transferee if the Certificate formerly representing such Shares is presented to the Paying Agent, 

  

 5 

 
accompanied by all documents required to evidence and effect such transfer and to evidence to the reasonable satisfaction of the Surviving Corporation that
any applicable stock transfer Taxes have been paid or are not applicable. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 2.2(b), each Certificate and each Book-Entry Share shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent
only the right to receive upon such surrender the applicable Merger Consideration as contemplated by this Article II. 
 (iii) The Paying Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable under this Agreement to any holder of Shares, Company Stock Options, Restricted Stock or PARSUs, such amounts as are required to be
withheld or deducted under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”) or any provision of state, local or foreign Tax Law with respect to the making of such payment. To the extent that amounts are so withheld or deducted and
paid over to the applicable Governmental Entity, such withheld or deducted amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of the Shares, Company Stock Options, Restricted Stock or PARSUs, in respect of
which such deduction and withholding were made. 
 (c) Closing of Transfer Books. At the Effective Time, the stock transfer
books of the Company shall be closed, and there shall be no further registration of transfers on the stock transfer books of the Surviving Corporation of the Shares that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the
Effective Time, any Certificates are presented to the Surviving Corporation or Parent for transfer, they shall be cancelled and exchanged in accordance with and subject to the procedures set forth in this Article II. 
 (d) Termination of Exchange Fund. Any portion of the Exchange Fund (including the proceeds of any investments thereof) that remains
undistributed to the former holders of Shares for nine (9) months after the Effective Time shall be delivered to the Surviving Corporation upon demand, and any former holders of Shares who have not surrendered their Shares in accordance with
this Section 2.2 shall thereafter look only to the Surviving Corporation for payment of their claim for the Merger Consideration, without any interest thereon, upon due surrender of their Shares. 
 (e) No Liability. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, none of the Company, Parent, Merger Sub, the Surviving Corporation,
the Paying Agent or any other person shall be liable to any former holder of Shares for any amount properly delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law. Any portion of the Exchange Fund
remaining unclaimed as of a date which is immediately prior to such time as such amounts would otherwise escheat to or become property of any Governmental Entity shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, become the property of Parent, free
and clear of any claims or interests of any person previously entitled thereto. 
 (f) Investment of Exchange Fund. The
Paying Agent shall invest all cash included in the Exchange Fund as reasonably directed by Parent; provided, however, that no such investment or loss thereon will affect the amounts payable to holders of Shares, Company Stock Options,
Restricted Stock or PARSUs pursuant to this Agreement. Any interest and other income resulting from such investments shall become part of the Exchange Fund. 
  

 6 

 (g) Lost Certificates. In the case of any Certificate that has been lost, stolen or
destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming such certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by the Paying Agent, the posting by such person of a bond in customary amount as indemnity against any
claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, the Paying Agent will issue Merger Consideration in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate as though the Certificate had been duly surrendered or presented to the
Paying Agent pursuant to this Section 2.2.

of Merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, no other corporate proceedings on the part of the Company are necessary to

authorization, consent, permit, action, approval, filing or notification the failure of which to make or obtain would not individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect. 
 (c) The execution and delivery by the Company of this Agreement does not, and, except as described in Section 3.3(b), the consummation of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement and compliance with the provisions of this Agreement will not (i) result in any violation of, or default (with or without notice or lapse of time, or both) under, or give rise to a right of

Company or any of its Subsidiaries, (ii) conflict with or result in any violation of any provision of the certificate of incorporation or bylaws or other equivalent organizational document, in each case as amended, of the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries, or (iii) assuming receipt of the Company Stockholder Approval, conflict with or violate any applicable Laws, other than, in the case of clause (i), any such violation, conflict, default, termination, cancellation,
acceleration, right, loss or Lien that would not have, individually or in the aggregate, a Company Material Adverse Effect. 
 (d) Section 3.3(d) of the Company Disclosure Schedule sets forth a list of any consent, approval, authorization or permit of, action by, registration, declaration or filing with or notification to any person under any

duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the Laws of its respective jurisdiction of incorporation and has all requisite corporate power and authority to own, lease and operate its properties and assets and to carry on its business
as presently conducted and is qualified to do business and is in good standing as a foreign corporation in each jurisdiction where the ownership, leasing or operation of its assets or properties or conduct of its business requires such
qualification, except where the failure to be so organized, validly existing, qualified or in good standing, or to have such power or authority, would not, individually or in the aggregate, prevent or materially delay or materially impair the
ability of Parent or Merger Sub to consummate the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement (a “Parent Material Adverse Effect”). Parent has made available to the Company prior to the date of this Agreement a
true and complete copy of the 

  

 25 

 
certificate of incorporation and bylaws or other equivalent organizational documents of Parent and Merger Sub, each as amended through the date of this

Parent, as the sole stockholder of Merger Sub, and, except for the filing of the Certificate of Merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, no other corporate proceedings on the part of Parent or Merger Sub are necessary to
authorize this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. This Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by Parent and Merger Sub and, assuming this Agreement constitutes the valid and binding
agreements of the Company, this Agreement constitutes the valid and binding agreement of Parent and Merger Sub, enforceable against each of Parent and Merger Sub in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,

Merger Sub of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except for any such authorization, consent, permit, action, approval, filing or notification the failure of which to make or obtain would not individually or in the aggregate, reasonably
be expected to have a Parent Material Adverse Effect. 
 (c) The execution and delivery by Parent and Merger Sub of this Agreement does
not, and, except as described in Section 4.2(b), the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and compliance with the provisions of this Agreement will not (i) result in any violation of, or default (with or without

 26 

 
(iii) assuming that all consents, approvals and other authorizations described in Section 3.3(b) have been obtained and that all filings and other
actions described in Section 3.3(b) have been made or taken, conflict with or violate any applicable Laws, other than, in the case of clauses (i), (ii) and (iii), any such violation, conflict, default, termination, cancellation,
acceleration, right, loss or Lien that would not have, individually or in the aggregate, a Parent Material Adverse Effect.

Subsidiaries which would have, individually or in the aggregate, a Parent Material Adverse Effect, and there are no actions, suits, inquiries, investigations or proceedings pending (or, to Parent’s knowledge, threatened) against or affecting
Parent or its Subsidiaries, or any of their respective properties at law or in equity before, and there are no orders, judgments or decrees of, or before, any Governmental Entity, in each case, which would have, individually or in the aggregate, a

provided, however, that this representation and warranty shall not apply to any information so provided by Parent or Merger Sub that subsequently changes or becomes incomplete or incorrect to the extent such changes or failure to be
complete or correct are promptly disclosed to the Company and to the further extent that Parent and Merger Sub reasonably cooperate with the Company in preparing, filing or disseminating updated information to the extent required by Law.

with financial, operating and other data and information as Parent, through its officers, employees or other authorized Representatives, may from time to time reasonably request in writing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be
required to afford such access if it would unreasonably disrupt the operations of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, would cause a violation of any agreement to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party, would cause a reasonable
risk of a loss of privilege to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or would constitute a violation of any applicable Law, nor shall Parent or any of its Representatives be permitted to perform any onsite procedure (including any onsite
environmental study) with respect to any property of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, except, with respect to any on site procedure, with the Company’s prior written consent. No investigation pursuant to this Section 5.2 shall
affect any representation or warranty in this Agreement of any party hereto or any condition to the obligations of the parties hereto. 
 (b) Parent hereby agrees that all information provided to it or its Representatives in connection with this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be kept confidential in accordance with
the Confidentiality Agreement, dated as of November 17, 2007 between the Company and Parent (the “Confidentiality Agreement”) which Confidentiality Agreement shall continue to apply. 
 SECTION 5.3 No Shop; Alternative and Superior Proposals. 
 (a) Subject to Section 5.3(c), from the date of this Agreement and continuing until the earlier of the receipt of the Company Stockholder Approval
and the Termination Date, none of the Company, the Company’s Subsidiaries nor any of their respective Representatives shall, directly or indirectly (A) initiate, solicit or encourage (including by way of providing information) the
submission of any inquiries, proposals or offers or make any other efforts or attempts that constitute or would reasonably be expected to lead to, any Alternative Proposal or engage in any substantive discussions or negotiations with respect thereto
or otherwise cooperate with or assist or participate in, or facilitate any such inquiries, proposals, discussions or negotiations, or (B) approve or recommend, or publicly propose to approve or recommend, an Alternative Proposal or enter into
any merger agreement, letter of intent, agreement in principle, share purchase agreement, asset purchase agreement or share exchange agreement, option agreement or other similar agreement providing for an Alternative Proposal or enter into any
agreement requiring the Company to abandon, terminate or fail to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby or breach its obligations hereunder. 
 (b) Subject to Section 5.3(c), the Company shall, and shall direct its Subsidiaries’ directors, officers, employees and Representatives to, immediately cease and cause to be terminated any discussions or
negotiations with any parties that may have been conducted heretofore with respect to an Alternative Proposal. The Company shall seek to enforce the 

  

 34 

 
confidentiality provisions contained in any confidentiality agreement previously executed by the Company, including promptly requesting, subject to the
provisions of Section 5.3(c), each person that has heretofore executed a confidentiality agreement in connection with its consideration of making any Alternative Proposal, if any, to return all confidential information heretofore furnished to
such person by or on behalf of the Company or any Subsidiary and, if requested by Parent, to promptly enforce such person’s obligation to do so. 
 (c) At any time from the date of this Agreement and continuing until the earlier of the receipt of the Company Stockholder Approval and the Termination Date, if the Company receives an unsolicited bona fide written
Alternative Proposal (A) which (i) constitutes a Superior Proposal or (ii) which the Board of Directors determines in good faith is reasonably likely to lead to a Superior Proposal and (B) the Board of Directors determines in
good faith, after consultation with the Company’s legal counsel, that the failure of the Board of Directors to take the actions set forth in clauses (x) and (y) below with respect to such Alternative Proposal would be inconsistent
with the directors’ exercise of their fiduciary obligations to the Company’s stockholders under applicable Law, then the Company may take the following actions: (x) furnish non-public information to the third party making such
Alternative Proposal (if, and only if, prior to so furnishing such information, the Company receives from the third party an executed confidentiality agreement with confidentiality provisions in form no more favorable to such person than those
confidentiality provisions contained in the Confidentiality Agreement) and (y) engage in discussions or negotiations with such third party with respect to such Alternative Proposal. 
 (d) Other than in accordance with Section 5.3, the Board of Directors shall not (i) withdraw or modify, or propose publicly to withdraw or
modify in a manner adverse to Parent, the approval or recommendation by the Board of Directors of the Merger or this Agreement or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement; (ii) approve, adopt or recommend, or propose publicly to
approve, adopt or recommend, any Alternative Proposal; (iii) make any recommendation in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer other than a recommendation against such offer or (iv) exempt any person from the restrictions
contained in any state takeover or similar laws, (each of the foregoing, a “Change of Recommendation”); provided, however, that, in response to the receipt of a Superior Proposal that has not been withdrawn or
abandoned, the Board of Directors may, at any time, make a Change of Recommendation if the Board of Directors has concluded in good faith, after consultation with the Company’s legal and financial advisors, that the failure of the Board of
Directors to effect a Change of Recommendation would be inconsistent with the directors’ exercise of their fiduciary obligations to the Company’s stockholders under applicable Law. No Change of Recommendation shall change the approval of
the Board of Directors for purposes of causing any state takeover statute or other state law to be inapplicable to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. 
 (e) Nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit or restrict the Board of Directors from making a Change of Recommendation to the extent that the Board of Directors determines in good faith, after consultation with the
Company’s legal counsel, that the failure of the Board of Directors to effect a Change of Recommendation would be inconsistent with the directors’ exercise of their fiduciary obligations to the Company’s stockholders under applicable
Law. 
  

 35 

 (f) Nothing contained in this Agreement shall prohibit the Company or its Board of Directors from
disclosing to its stockholders a position contemplated by Rules 14d-9 and 14e-2(a) promulgated under the Exchange Act. 
 (g) As used in
this Agreement, “Alternative Proposal” shall mean any bona fide proposal or offer made by any person or group of persons (other than a proposal or offer by Parent or any of its Subsidiaries) for (i) a merger, reorganization,
share exchange, consolidation, business combination, recapitalization, dissolution, liquidation or similar transaction involving the Company or any Subsidiary or Subsidiaries of the Company whose business constitutes 25% or more of the net revenues,
net income or assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, (ii) the direct or indirect acquisition in a single transaction or series of related transactions by any person of the assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries that
constitutes 25% or more of the net revenues, net income or assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, (iii) the direct or indirect acquisition in a single transaction or series of related transactions by any person of 25% or
more of the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock, or (iv) any tender offer or exchange offer that if consummated would result in any person beneficially owning 25% or more of the Shares then outstanding. 
 As used in this Agreement “Superior Proposal” shall mean an Alternative Proposal on terms that the Board of Directors determines in good
faith, and after consultation with the Company’s financial advisors and legal counsel, and considering such factors as the Board of Directors, as applicable, consider to be appropriate, is more favorable to the Company and its stockholders than
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided, however, that for purposes of this definition, the references to “25%” in the definition of Alternative Proposal shall be deemed to be references to 50%. 
 SECTION 5.4 Filings; Other Actions. 
 (a) The Company, Parent and Merger Sub shall each use all reasonable efforts to take or cause to be taken such actions as may be required to be taken under the Exchange Act any other federal securities Laws, and
under any applicable state securities or “blue sky” Laws in connection with the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the Proxy Statement. In connection with the Merger and the Company Meeting, the
Company shall prepare and file with the SEC the Proxy Statement relating to the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and the Company and Parent shall use all reasonable efforts to respond to the comments of the SEC and
to cause the Proxy Statement to be mailed to the Company’s stockholders, all as promptly as reasonably practicable; provided, however, that prior to the filing of the Proxy Statement, the Company shall consult with Parent with
respect to such filings and shall afford Parent or its Representatives reasonable opportunity to comment thereon. Parent and Merger Sub shall provide the Company with any information for inclusion in the Proxy Statement which may be required under
applicable Law and/or which is reasonably requested by the Company. The Company shall notify Parent of the receipt of comments of the SEC and of any request from the SEC for amendments or supplements to the Proxy Statement or for additional
information, and will promptly supply Parent with copies of all correspondence between the Company or its Representatives, on the one hand, and the SEC or 

  

 36 

 
members of its staff, on the other hand, with respect to the Proxy Statement or the Merger. Each of the Company, Parent and Merger Sub shall use its
respective reasonable best efforts to resolve all SEC comments with respect to the Proxy Statement and any other required filings as promptly as practicable after receipt thereof. Each of the Company, Parent and Merger Sub agree to correct any
information provided by it for use in the Proxy Statement which shall have become false or misleading. If at any time prior to the Company Meeting any event should occur which is required by applicable Law to be set forth in an amendment of, or a
supplement to, the Proxy Statement, the Company will promptly inform Parent. In such case, the Company, with the cooperation of Parent, will, upon learning of such event, promptly prepare and file such amendment or supplement with the SEC to the
extent required by applicable Law and shall mail such amendment or supplement to the Company’s stockholders to the extent required by applicable Law; provided, however, that prior to such filing, the Company shall consult with
Parent with respect to such amendment or supplement and shall afford Parent or its Representatives reasonable opportunity to comment thereon. Notwithstanding the forgoing, the Company shall have no obligation to notify Parent of any matters to the
extent that the Board of Directors determines in good faith, after consultation with the Company’s legal counsel, that to do so would be inconsistent with the directors’ exercise of their fiduciary obligations to the Company’s
stockholders under applicable Law. 
 (b) Prior to the earlier of the Effective Time or the Termination Date, the Company and Parent
shall cooperate with each other in order to lift any injunctions or remove any other legal impediment to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. 
 (c) Subject to the other provisions of this Agreement, the Company shall (i) take all action necessary in accordance with the DGCL and its
amended and restated certificate of incorporation and bylaws to duly call, give notice of, convene and hold a meeting of its stockholders as promptly as reasonably practicable following the mailing of the Proxy Statement for the purpose of obtaining
the Company Stockholder Approval (the “Company Meeting”) (including mailing the Proxy Statement as soon as reasonably practicable after the SEC has cleared the Proxy Statement and holding the Company Meeting as soon as practicable
after mailing the Proxy Statement), (ii) include in the Proxy Statement the recommendation of the Board of Directors, that the stockholders of the Company vote in favor of the adoption of this Agreement and, subject to the approval of the
Advisor, as applicable, the written opinions of the Advisor, dated as of the date of this Agreement, that, as of such date, the Merger Consideration is fair, from a financial point of view, to the holders of the Company Common Stock and
(iii) use all reasonable efforts to solicit from its stockholders proxies in favor of the approval of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. 
  

 37 

 SECTION 5.5 Stock Options and other Stock-Based Awards; Employee
Matters. 
 (a) Stock Options and other Stock-Based Awards. Except as otherwise agreed to in writing between
the Company, Parent and Merger Sub: 
 (i) Each option to purchase shares of Company Common Stock (each, a
“Company Stock Option”) granted under the Company Stock Plans or otherwise, whether vested or unvested, that is outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, as of the Effective Time, be cancelled
without any action on the part of the holder thereof. Each holder of a Company Stock Option that is outstanding and unexercised at the Effective Time, whether or not vested or exercisable, and that has an exercise price per share that is less than
the Merger Consideration shall be entitled to receive at the Effective Time an amount in cash in U.S. dollars equal to the product of (x) the total number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Company Stock Option and
(y) the excess, if any, of the amount of the Merger Consideration over the exercise price per share of Company Common Stock subject to such Company Stock Option, with the aggregate amount of such payment rounded down to the nearest cent, less
such amounts as are required to be withheld or deducted under the Code or any provision of state, local or foreign Tax Law with respect to the making of such payment. 
 (ii) At the Effective Time, each award of restricted stock (“Restricted Stock”) and performance accelerated
restricted stock units (PARSUs) that are then vested shall, as of the Effective Time, be cancelled without any action on the part of the holder thereof. Each holder of Restricted Stock or PARSUs that are vested and outstanding at the
Effective Time shall be entitled to receive at the Effective Time an amount in cash in U.S. dollars equal to the product of (x) the total number of vested shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Restricted Stock or PARSUs and
(y) the Merger Consideration, with the aggregate amount of such payment rounded down to the nearest cent, less such amounts as are required to be withheld or deducted under the Code or any provision of state, local or foreign Tax Law with
respect to the making of such payment. The Restricted Stock and PARSUs that are outstanding but not vested at the Effective Time will not be cancelled or converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration and shall continue in effect after
the Effective Time on substantially similar terms, provided that such Restricted Stock and PARSUs would not give rise to any right to receive Company Common Stock or Parent Common Stock after the Effective Time, but that such right would be
substituted with the right to an amount of cash equal to the Merger Consideration for each share of Company Common Stock that is the subject of each such Restricted Stock or PARSU. 
 (iii) Prior to the Effective Time, the Board of Directors or the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors, as applicable,
shall adopt any necessary amendments to, or take any necessary actions pursuant to, the Company Stock Plans and the applicable Company Benefit Plans with respect to Company Stock Options and Company Stock-Based Awards to implement the foregoing
provisions of Sections 5.5(a)(i) and 5.5(a)(ii). 
 (b) Employee Matters. 
 (i) From and after the Effective Time, Parent shall honor all Company Benefit Plans and compensation arrangements and employment
agreements in accordance with their terms as in effect immediately before the Effective Time including payment of amounts due at the Effective Time and thereafter. In the event Parent desires to retain any current employees of the Company or its
Subsidiaries (“Company Employees”) following the Effective Time, then for a period of one year following the 

  

 38 

 
Effective Time Parent shall provide or cause to be provided, to each current employee of the Company and its Subsidiaries total compensation and benefits
that are substantially comparable in the aggregate to the total compensation and benefits provided to Company Employees immediately before the Effective Time (giving consideration to equity-based compensation, equity-based benefits and nonqualified
deferred compensation programs; provided, however, that Parent shall not be required to provide equity-based compensation, equity-based benefits and nonqualified deferred compensation programs); provided, however, that
nothing herein shall prevent the amendment or termination of any Company Benefit Plan or interfere with Parent’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ right or obligation to make such changes as are necessary to conform with applicable Law or shall
cause or require the extension, renewal or amendment of, or prevent the expiration of, any employment agreement which shall expire, terminate or fail to renew pursuant to its terms during such period. Nothing in this Section 5.5(b)(i) shall
limit the right of the Surviving Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries to terminate the employment of any current employees at any time in accordance with their respective employment arrangements or agreements. 
 (ii) Without limiting the generality of the preceding paragraph, following the Effective Time, Parent intends to negotiate a set of
performance based incentives for certain Company Employees retained by Parent, based on the achievement of business objectives for the conduct of the Company’s business after the Effective Time. 
 (iii) The Company will use reasonable efforts to amend any employment, severance or other similar agreements with its employees, directors
and consultants to comply with Code section 409A in a manner reasonably satisfactory to Parent.
 (iv) For all purposes
(including purposes of vesting, eligibility to participate and level of benefits) under the employee benefit plans providing benefits to any Company Employees after the Effective Time (the “New Plans”), each Company Employee shall
be credited with his or her years of service with the Company and its Subsidiaries and their respective predecessors before the Effective Time, to the same extent as such Company Employee was entitled, before the Effective Time, to credit for such
service under any similar Company employee benefit plan in which such Company Employee participated or was eligible to participate immediately prior to the Effective Time (such plans, collectively, the “Old Plans”), provided
that the foregoing shall not apply with respect to benefit accrual under any defined benefit pension plan or to the extent that its application would result in a duplication of benefits with respect to the same period of service. In addition, and
without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (A) each Company Employee shall be immediately eligible to participate, without any waiting time, in any and all New Plans to the extent coverage under such New Plan is comparable to an Old
Plan, and (B) for purposes of each New Plan providing medical, dental, pharmaceutical and/or vision benefits to any Company Employee, Parent shall cause all pre-existing condition exclusions and actively-at-work requirements of such New Plan to
be waived for such employee and his or her covered dependents, unless such conditions would not have been waived under the comparable Old Plans and Parent shall cause any eligible expenses incurred by such employee and his or her covered 

  

 39 

 
dependents during the portion of the plan year of the Old Plan ending on the date such employee’s participation in the corresponding New Plan begins to
be taken into account under such New Plan for purposes of satisfying all deductible, coinsurance and maximum out-of-pocket requirements applicable to such employee and his or her covered dependents for the applicable plan year as if such amounts had
been paid in accordance with such New Plan. 
 (v) The provisions of this Section 5.5(b) are for the sole benefit of the
parties of this Agreement and nothing herein, expressed or implied, is intended or shall be construed to confer upon or give to any person (including for the avoidance of doubt any Company Employees), other than the parties hereto and their
respective permitted successors and assigns, any legal or equitable or other rights or remedies (with respect to the matters provided for in this Section 5.5(b) under or by reason of any provision of this Agreement. 
 SECTION 5.6 Reasonable Best Efforts.  
 (a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, each of the parties hereto shall use (and cause its affiliates to use) its
reasonable best efforts (subject to, and in accordance with, applicable Law) to take promptly, or cause to be taken promptly, all actions, and to do promptly, or cause to be done promptly, and to assist and cooperate with the other parties in doing,
all things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable Laws to consummate and make effective the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including (i) obtaining all necessary actions or nonactions, waivers,
consents and approvals, including the Company Approvals and the Parent Approvals, from Governmental Entities and making all necessary registrations and filings and taking all steps as may be necessary to obtain an approval or waiver from, or to
avoid an action or proceeding by, any Governmental Entity, (ii) obtaining all necessary consents, approvals or waivers from third parties and all consents, approvals and waivers from third parties reasonably requested by Parent to be obtained
in respect of the Company Material Contracts in connection with the Merger, this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (iii) defending any lawsuits or other legal proceedings, whether judicial or administrative,
challenging this Agreement or the consummation of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement and (iv) executing and delivering any additional instruments necessary to consummate the Merger and the other transactions
contemplated by this Agreement; provided, however, that prior to the Effective Time in no event shall the Company or any of its Subsidiaries be required to pay or, absent the prior written consent of Parent (such consent not to be
unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), pay or commit to pay any material fee, material penalties or other material consideration to any landlord or other third party to obtain any consent, approval or waiver required for the consummation of
the Merger under any real estate leases or Company Material Contracts. 
 (b) Subject to the terms and conditions herein provided and
without limiting the foregoing, the Company and Parent shall (i) promptly, but in no event later than fifteen (15) business days after the date of this Agreement, make their respective filings and thereafter make any other required
submissions under the HSR Act; (ii) use reasonable best efforts to 

  

 40 

 
cooperate with each other in (x) determining whether any filings are required to be made with, or consents, permits, authorizations, waivers or
approvals are required to be obtained from, any third parties or other Governmental Entities in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and (y) timely
making all such filings and timely seeking all such consents, permits, authorizations or approvals; (iii) promptly inform the other party upon receipt of any material communication from the United States Federal Trade Commission, the Antitrust
Division of the United States Department of Justice or any other Governmental Entity regarding any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; and (iv) subject to applicable legal limitations and the instructions of any Governmental
Entity, keep each other apprised of the status of matters relating to the completion of the transactions contemplated thereby, including promptly furnishing the other with copies of notices or other communications received by the Company or Parent,
as the case may be, or any of their respective Subsidiaries, from any third party and/or any Governmental Entity with respect to such transactions. The Company and Parent shall permit legal counsel for the other party reasonable opportunity to
review in advance, and consider in good faith the views of the other party in connection with, any proposed written communication to any Governmental Entity. Each of the Company and Parent agrees not to (A) participate in any substantive
meeting or discussion, either in person or by telephone, with any Governmental Entity in connection with the proposed transactions unless it consults with the other party in advance and, to the extent not prohibited by such Governmental Entity,
gives the other party the opportunity to attend and participate, (B) extend any waiting period under the HSR Act without the prior written consent of the other party (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) and
(C) enter into any agreement with any Governmental Entity not to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other party (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or
delayed). 
 (c) In furtherance and not in limitation of the agreements of the parties contained in this Section 5.6, if any
administrative or judicial action or proceeding, including any proceeding by a private party, is instituted (or threatened to be instituted) challenging any transaction contemplated by this Agreement as violative of any Regulatory Law, each of the
Company and Parent shall cooperate in all respects with each other and shall use their respective reasonable best efforts to contest and resist any such action or proceeding and to have vacated, lifted, reversed or overturned any decree, judgment,
injunction or other order, whether temporary, preliminary or permanent, that is in effect and that prohibits, prevents or restricts consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision
of this Agreement, nothing in this Section 5.6 shall limit a party’s right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1(b) or 7.1(c) so long as such party has, prior to such termination, complied with its obligations under this
Section 5.6. 
 (d) For purposes of this Agreement, “Regulatory Law” means the Sherman Act of 1890, the Clayton
Antitrust Act of 1914, the HSR Act, the Federal Trade Commission Act of 1914 and all other federal, state or foreign statutes, rules, regulations, orders, decrees, administrative and judicial doctrines and other Laws, including any antitrust,
competition or trade regulation Laws, that are designed or intended to (i) prohibit, restrict or regulate actions having the purpose or effect of monopolization or restraint of trade or lessening competition through merger or acquisition,
or (ii) protect the national security or the national economy of any nation. 
  

 41 

 SECTION 5.7 Takeover Statute. If any “fair price,”
“moratorium,” “control share acquisition” or other form of anti-takeover statute or regulation shall become applicable to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, each of the Company and Parent and the members of their
respective Boards of Directors shall grant such approvals and take such actions as are reasonably necessary so that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement may be consummated as promptly as practicable on the terms contemplated by this
Agreement and otherwise act to eliminate or minimize the effects of such statute or regulation on the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. 
 SECTION 5.8 Public Announcements. So long as this Agreement is in effect, the Company and Parent will consult with and provide each other the reasonable opportunity to review and comment upon any
press release or other public statement or comment prior to the issuance of such press release or other public statement or comment relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and shall not issue any such press
release or other public statement or comment prior to such consultation except as may be required by applicable Law or by obligations pursuant to any listing agreement with any national securities exchange. 
 SECTION 5.9 Director and Officer Liability. 
 (a) Parent and the Surviving Corporation agree that all rights to exculpation and indemnification (including obligations to advance funds for expenses)
existing in favor of any present or former director, officer or employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries as provided in the certificate of incorporation or by-laws of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or by Law or in any agreement
between the Company or its Subsidiaries and any director, officer or employee as in effect on the date hereof and disclosed in Section 5.9(a) of the Company Disclosure Schedule (the “Indemnification Agreements”) shall survive
the Merger and continue in full force and effect after the Effective Time and the Surviving Corporation shall indemnify each such person to the fullest extent provided for by the certificate of incorporation, by-laws and the Indemnification
Agreements, subject to applicable Law. Parent shall not, and shall cause the Surviving Corporation not to, take any action to alter or impair, any exculpatory or indemnification provisions existing in the certificate of incorporation or bylaws of
the Surviving Corporation or in the Indemnification Agreements. Any determination required to be made with respect to whether the conduct of an individual seeking indemnification has complied with the standards set forth under applicable Law shall
be made by independent counsel mutually acceptable to the Surviving Corporation and such individual. For a period of six years after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall cause to be maintained in effect the current policies of
officers’ and directors’ liability insurance maintained on the date hereof by the Company and its respective Subsidiaries (the “Current Policies”); provided, however, that the Surviving Corporation may, and
in the event of the cancellation or termination of such policies shall, substitute therefor policies with reputable and financially sound carriers providing at least the same coverage and amount and containing terms and conditions that are no less
favorable to the covered persons in respect of claims arising from facts or events that existed or occurred 

  

 42 

 
prior to or at the Effective Time under the Current Policies; provided, further, however, that in no event will the Surviving
Corporation be required to expend annually in excess of 250% of the annual premium currently paid by the Company under the Current Policies, and if the annual premium exceeds such amount, the Surviving Corporation shall provide the maximum amount of
coverage that can be obtained for such amount; provided, further, however, that in lieu of the foregoing insurance coverage, Parent may direct the Company to purchase “tail” insurance coverage that provides coverage no
less favorable than the coverage described above, provided that the Company shall not be required to pay any amounts in respect of such coverage prior to the Closing. 
 (b) This Section 5.9 shall survive the consummation of the Merger and is intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, present or
former directors, officers or employees of the Company or its Subsidiaries, their respective heirs and personal representatives and shall be binding on the Surviving Corporation and its successors and assigns, and the agreements and covenants
contained herein shall not be deemed to be exclusive of any other rights to which any such present or former director or officer is entitled, whether pursuant to Law, contract or otherwise. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to, shall be
construed to or shall release, waive or impair any rights to directors’ and officers’ insurance claims under any policy that is or has been in existence with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or their respective officers,
directors and employees, it being understood and agreed that the indemnification provided for in this Section 5.9 is not prior to or in substitution for any such claims under any such policies. 
 (c) If the Surviving Corporation or any of its successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the
continuing or surviving corporation or entity or (ii) transfers or conveys substantially all of its properties and assets to any person, then and in each case to the extent reasonably necessary, proper provision shall be made so that the
successors and assigns of the Surviving Corporation shall assume the obligations set forth in this Section 5.9 
 SECTION 5.10 Notice of Certain Events. Each of the parties hereto shall use reasonable best efforts to promptly notify the other party of: 
 (a) the occurrence or nonoccurrence of any event the occurrence or nonoccurrence of which would reasonably be expected to cause any representation or
warranty of such party contained in this Agreement to be untrue or inaccurate in any material respect; 
 (b) any failure of the Company,
Parent or Merger Sub, as the case may be, to comply with or satisfy, or the occurrence or nonoccurrence of any event, the occurrence or nonoccurrence of which would reasonably be expected to cause the failure by such party to comply with or satisfy,
any covenant, condition or agreement to be complied with or satisfied by it hereunder; 
 (c) the receipt by such party of any notice or
other communication from any person alleging that the consent of such person, which consent is or could reasonably be expected to be material to the Company and its Subsidiaries or the operation of their businesses, is or may be required in
connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; 
  

 43 

 (d) the receipt by such party of any notice or other communication from any Governmental Entity in
connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; or 
 (e) the receipt of any Alternative Proposal, or its learning of any
actions, suits, claims, investigations or proceedings commenced against, or affecting such party that, if they were pending on the date of this Agreement, would have been required to be disclosed pursuant to this Agreement or which relate to the
consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

as of the date of this Agreement and at and as of the Closing Date as though made at and as of the Closing Date and (ii) the representations and warranties of the Company set forth in this Agreement which are not qualified by a “Company
Material Adverse Effect” qualification shall be true and correct at and as of the date of this Agreement and at and as of the Closing Date as though made at and as of the Closing Date, except for such failures to be true and correct as would
not have, in the aggregate, a Company Material Adverse Effect; provided, however, that, with respect to clauses (i) and (ii) above, representations and warranties that are made as of a particular date or period shall be true
and correct (in the manner set forth in clauses (i) or (ii), as applicable) only as of such date or period. 
 (b) The Company
shall have in all material respects performed all obligations and complied with all the agreements required by this Agreement to be performed or complied with by it prior to the Effective Time. 
 (c) The Company shall have delivered to Parent a certificate, dated the Effective Time and signed by its Chief Executive Officer or another senior
officer, certifying to the effect that the conditions set forth in Sections 6.3(a) and 6.3(b) have been satisfied. 
 (d) The Company
shall deliver to Parent and Merger Sub a FIRPTA affidavit of its belief that the Company is not and has not been a United States real property holding corporation, dated as of the Closing Date and in form and substance reasonably acceptable to
Parent. 
 SECTION 6.4 Frustration of Closing Conditions. Neither the Company nor Parent may
rely, either as a basis for not consummating the Merger or for terminating this Agreement and abandoning the Merger, on the failure of any condition set forth in Section 6.1, Section 6.2 or Section 6.3, as the case may be, to be
satisfied if such failure was caused by such party’s breach of any provision of this Agreement or failure to use its reasonable best efforts to consummate the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, as required by and
subject to Section 5.6.

 ARTICLE VII 
 TERMINATION 
 SECTION 7.1 Termination or
Abandonment. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, this Agreement may be terminated and the Merger may be abandoned at any time prior to the Effective Time, whether before or after any approval of the
matters presented in connection with the Merger by the stockholders of the Company: 
 (a) by the mutual written consent of the Company
and Parent; 
 (b) by either the Company or Parent if (i) the Effective Time shall not have occurred on or before July 10,
2008 (the “End Date”), provided that in the event that any applicable waiting period under the HSR Act or Regulatory Law shall not have expired or been terminated prior to the End Date, then either Parent or the Company may elect to
extend the End Date until August 9, 2008 by written notice to the other party prior to July 10, 2008 and (ii) the failure of the Effective Time to have occurred by such date is not the result of, or caused by, the failure of the party
seeking to exercise such termination right to perform or observe any of the covenants or agreements of such party set forth in this Agreement; 
 (c) by either the Company or Parent if an injunction, order, decree or ruling shall have been entered permanently restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the consummation of the Merger and such injunction shall have become
final and non-appealable; 
 (d) by either the Company or Parent if the Company Meeting (including any adjournments thereof) shall have
concluded and the Company Stockholder Approval contemplated by this Agreement shall not have been obtained; 
 (e) by the Company, if
Parent shall have breached or failed to perform in any material respect any of its representations, warranties or agreements contained in this Agreement, which breach or failure to perform (i) would result in a failure of a condition set forth
in Section 6.1 or 6.2 and (ii) cannot be cured by the End Date, provided, however, that the Company is not then in material breach of this Agreement; 
 (f) by Parent, if the Company shall have breached or failed to perform in any material respect any of its representations, warranties or agreements contained in this Agreement, which breach or failure to perform
(i) would result in a failure of a condition set forth in Section 6.1 or 6.3 and (ii) cannot be cured by the End Date, provided, however, that Parent is not then in material breach of this Agreement; 
 (g) by the Company, if the Board of Directors has concluded in good faith, after consultation with the Company’s legal counsel and financial
advisors, that, in light of a Superior Proposal, it would be inconsistent with the directors’ exercise of their fiduciary obligations to the Company’s stockholders under applicable Law to (x) make or not withdraw the Recommendation or
(y) fail to effect a Change of Recommendation in a manner adverse to Parent or (z) fail to pursue a Superior Proposal;
  

 46 

 (h) by Parent, if the Board of Directors or any committee thereof shall have approved or recommended a
Change of Recommendation or resolved to do so; and 
 (i) by the Company, if Parent does not (i) satisfy the condition set forth in
Section 6.2(d) within five (5) business days after notice by the Company to Parent that the conditions set forth in Sections 6.1 and 6.3 are satisfied, and (ii) proceed immediately thereafter to give effect to a Closing.

 In the event of termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Section 7.1, this Agreement shall terminate (except for the
Confidentiality Agreement referred to in Section 5.2 and the provisions of Sections 7.2 and 8.2 through 8.14), and there shall be no other liability on the part of the Company or Parent to the other except: (A) as provided for in the
Confidentiality Agreement; (B) as set forth in Section 7.2, as applicable; and (C) for liability arising out of fraud or an intentional breach of this Agreement, in which case the aggrieved party shall be entitled to all rights and
remedies available at law or in equity. 
 SECTION 7.2 Termination Fees. 
 (a) Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary: 
 (i) in the event that (A) prior to the termination of this Agreement, any Alternative Proposal or the bona fide intention of any
person to make an Alternative Proposal (a “Qualifying Transaction”) is publicly proposed or publicly disclosed or otherwise made known to the Company prior to, and not withdrawn at the time of, the End Date or the Company Meeting,
(B) either (1) this Agreement is terminated by Parent or the Company pursuant to Section 7.1(d) or (2) this Agreement is terminated by Parent pursuant to Section 7.1(f) due to a breach by the Company of any of its covenants
or agreements in Section 5.3 or due to an intentional and material breach of any other material covenant, agreement, representation or warranty of the Company in this Agreement, and (C) concurrently with or within nine (9) months
after such termination, any definitive agreement providing for a Qualifying Transaction shall have been entered into and in any instance such Qualifying Transaction shall have been consummated, or 
 (ii) in the event that this Agreement is terminated by the Company pursuant to Section 7.1(g) or 7.1(h),
 then the Company shall pay to (or as directed by) Parent a fee of Two Million Four Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($2,450,000) in cash (the “Company Termination
Fee”). 
 The Company Termination Fee shall be paid: (a) in the case of clause (i), on the date such Qualifying
Transaction is signed or consummated; and (b) in the case of clause (ii), on the date this Agreement is terminated by the Company, in each case by wire transfer of same day funds as 

  

 47 

 
directed by Parent reasonably in advance. Upon payment of the Company Termination Fee, the Company shall have no further liability with respect to this
Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to Parent or its stockholders. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall the Company be required to pay the Company Termination Fee referred to in
this Section 7.2 on more than one occasion. 
 (b) Any payment made pursuant to this Section 7.2 shall be net of any amounts
as may be required to be deducted or withheld therefrom under the Code or under any provision of state, local or foreign Tax Law. 
 (c) Each of the Company, Parent and Merger Sub acknowledge that the agreements contained in this Section 7.2 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and that, without these agreements, neither the
Company nor Parent would have entered into this Agreement, and that any amounts payable pursuant to this Section 7.2 do not constitute a penalty. 
 ARTICLE VIII 
 MISCELLANEOUS 
 SECTION 8.1 No Survival of Representations and Warranties. None of the representations and warranties in this
Agreement or in any instrument delivered pursuant to this Agreement shall survive the Merger or the termination of this Agreement. 
 SECTION 8.2 Expenses. Except as set forth in Section 7.2, whether or not the Merger is consummated, all costs and expenses incurred in connection with the Merger, this Agreement and the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be paid by the party incurring or required to incur such expenses, except that expenses incurred in connection with the printing, filing and mailing of the Proxy Statement (including applicable SEC
filing fees) and all fees paid in respect of any HSR Act or other regulatory filing shall be borne by Parent. 
 SECTION 8.3 Counterparts; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in two or more consecutive counterparts (including by facsimile), each of which shall be an original, with the same effect
as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument, and shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the parties and delivered (by telecopy, e-mail or otherwise) to the other parties.

 SECTION 8.4 Governing Law. This Agreement, and the rights of the parties and all Actions
arising in whole or in part under or in connection herewith, 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 law 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 8.5 Remedies; Jurisdiction; Enforcement. The parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance
with their specific terms or were otherwise breached and that the parties 

  

 48 

 
to this Agreement and the third-party beneficiaries of this Agreement may not have an adequate remedy at law. It is accordingly agreed that the parties to
this Agreement and the third-party beneficiaries of this Agreement shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement
without the requirement for posting of any bond or other collateral, and Parent and Merger Sub shall not object to the granting of injunctive relief, specific performance or other equitable relief on the basis that there exists an adequate remedy at
law. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, any and all remedies herein expressly conferred upon a party or third-party beneficiary hereunder shall be deemed cumulative with and not exclusive of any other remedy conferred hereby or by law on
such party, and the exercise of any one remedy shall not preclude the exercise of any other. In addition, each of the parties hereto irrevocably agrees that any legal action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement and the rights and obligations
arising hereunder, or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect of this Agreement and the rights and obligations arising hereunder brought by the other party hereto or its successors or assigns, shall be brought and determined
exclusively in the appropriate courts of the State of Delaware. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably submits with regard to any such action or proceeding for itself and in respect of its property, generally and unconditionally, to the
personal jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts and agrees that it will not bring any action relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in any court other than the aforesaid courts. Each of the parties hereto
hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense, counterclaim or otherwise, in any action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement, (a) any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of
the above-named courts for any reason other than the failure to serve in accordance with this Section 8.5, (b) any claim that it or its property is exempt or immune from jurisdiction of any such court or from any legal process commenced in
such courts (whether through service of notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution of judgment, execution of judgment or otherwise) and (c) to the fullest extent permitted by the applicable Law, any claim that
(i) the suit, action or proceeding in such court is brought in an inconvenient forum, (ii) the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper or (iii) this Agreement, or the subject matter of this Agreement, may not be enforced
in or by such courts. Each of the Company, Parent and Merger Sub hereby consents to service being made through the notice procedures set forth in Section 8.7 and agrees that service of any process, summons, notice or document by registered mail
(return receipt requested and first-class postage prepaid) to the respective addresses set forth in Section 8.7 shall be effective service of process for any suit or proceeding in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement. 
 SECTION 8.6 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY
WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT. 
  

 49

provided, however, that such notification shall only be effective on the date specified in such notice or five (5) business days after the notice is given, whichever is later. Rejection or other refusal to accept or the inability

 SECTION 8.8 Assignment; Binding
Effect. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder shall be assigned by any of the parties hereto (whether by operation of law or otherwise) without the prior written consent of the
other parties; provided, however, that Merger Sub may designate, by written notice to the Company, a Subsidiary that is wholly owned by Merger Sub to be merged with and into the Company in lieu of Merger Sub, in which event this
Agreement will be amended such that all references in this Agreement to Merger Sub will be deemed references to such Subsidiary, and in that case, and pursuant to such amendment, all representations and warranties made in this Agreement with respect
to Merger Sub will be deemed representations and warranties made with respect to such Subsidiary as of the date of such designation and Parent and Merger Sub may, without the prior written consent of the other parties, assign any or all of their
respective rights and interests hereunder to one or more of its affiliates, designate one or more of its affiliates to perform its obligations hereunder, in each case, so long as Parent is not relieved of any of its obligations hereunder and such
assignment would not cause a Parent Material Adverse Effect. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. 
 SECTION 8.9 Severability. Any term or provision of this Agreement which is invalid or unenforceable in any
jurisdiction shall, as to that jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability without rendering invalid or unenforceable the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement in any other jurisdiction;
provided that, if any provision of this Agreement is so broad as to be unenforceable, such provision shall be interpreted to be only so broad as is enforceable and, provided, further that upon a 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 an acceptable manner to the
end that the transactions contemplated hereby are fulfilled to the fullest extent possible. 
 SECTION 8.10 Entire Agreement; Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement (including the exhibits and schedules hereto) and the Confidentiality Agreement constitute the
entire agreement of the parties hereto with respect to its subject matter and supersedes all other prior oral or written agreements and understandings between the parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement. Except for the
provisions of (i) Sections 2.1 (after such time as the Exchange Fund has been returned to the Company from the Paying Agent)and (ii) Section 5.9 (which in each case shall inure to the benefit of the persons benefiting therefrom
who are intended to be third-party beneficiaries thereof), this Agreement is not intended to and shall not confer upon any person other than the parties hereto any rights or remedies hereunder.  
 SECTION 8.11 Amendments; Waivers. At any time prior to the Effective Time, any provision of this Agreement
may be amended or waived if, and only if, such amendment or waiver is in writing and signed, in the case of an amendment, by the Company, Parent and Merger Sub, or in the case of a waiver, by the party against whom the waiver is to be effective;
provided, however, that after receipt of Company Stockholder Approval, if any such amendment 

  

 51 

 
or waiver shall by applicable Law or in accordance with the rules and regulations of NASDAQ require further approval of the stockholders of the Company, the
effectiveness of such amendment or waiver shall be subject to the approval of the stockholders of the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no failure or delay by the Company or Parent 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 8.12 Headings. Headings of the Articles and Sections of this Agreement are for convenience of the parties only and shall be given no substantive or interpretive effect whatsoever. The
table of contents to this Agreement is for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.
