All of such Common Shares that have been converted into the right to receive Merger Consideration as provided in thisSection 2.01(a) shall no longer be outstanding and shall be automatically cancelled and cease to exist as of the Effective Time. Each certificate (or evidence of shares in book-entry form) that, immediately prior to the Effective Time, represented any such Common Shares (each such certificate or evidence, a “Stock Certificate”) shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the Merger Consideration to be paid in consideration therefor upon surrender of such Stock Certificate in accordance withSection 2.04(b).

(b) Each Common Share held by the Company as treasury stock or, directly or indirectly, by Parent, Merger Sub, or any wholly owned Company Subsidiary, including the Rollover Shares contributed to Parent immediately prior to the Closing in accordance with the Contribution Agreement, immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be cancelled and retired and shall cease to exist as of the Effective Time, and no consideration shall be delivered with respect thereto.

(c) Each share of common stock, par value US$0.0001 per share, of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and become one (1) validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable share of common stock, par value US$0.0001 per share, of the Surviving Corporation. Such shares of common stock shall be the only issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of the Surviving Corporation, which shall be reflected in the stock ledger of the Surviving Corporation.

SECTION 2.02Treatment of Company Options, Restricted Shares and RSUs. (a) As of the Effective Time, each option to purchase Common Shares (a “Company Option”) pursuant to any of the Stock Incentive Plans or otherwise that is then outstanding and unexercised, whether or not vested (a “Company Option”), shall be cancelled and converted into the right to receive cash in an amount equal to (i) the total number of Common Shares subject to such Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time (without regard to vesting) multiplied by (ii) the excess, if any, of (x) the Merger Consideration over (y) the exercise price payable per Common Share under such Company Option, which amount shall be paid, net of any applicable withholding Taxes, as soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time. No holder of a Company Option that has an exercise price per Common Share that is equal to or greater than the Merger Consideration shall be entitled to any payment with respect to such cancelled Company Option before or after the Effective Time.

(b) As of the Effective Time, each restricted share granted pursuant to any of the Stock Incentive Plans or otherwise that is then outstanding (a “Restricted Share”) shall be cancelled and converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration, which amount shall be paid, net of any applicable withholding Taxes, as soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time.

(c) As of the Effective Time, each restricted stock unit granted pursuant to any of the Stock Incentive Plans or otherwise that is then outstanding (a “RSU”) shall be cancelled and converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration, which amount shall be paid, net of any applicable withholding Taxes, as soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time.

SECTION 2.03Dissenting Shares.

4

(b) The Company shall give Parent: (i) prompt notice of any written demands received by the Company for appraisal of any Common Shares and any withdrawals of such demands; and (ii) the opportunity to participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demands. The Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of Parent, or as required by applicable Law, make any payment with respect to any demands for appraisal or settle or offer to settle any such demands.

SECTION 2.04Exchange of Stock Certificates, etc.; Paying Agent.

(a)Exchange Fund. At the Effective Time, Parent shall deposit, or cause to be deposited, with a bank or trust company that may be designated by Parent and that is reasonably acceptable to the Company to act as paying agent (the “Paying Agent”), for the benefit of the holders of Common Shares, immediately prior to the Effective Time (excluding any Common Shares to be cancelled pursuant toSection 2.01(b) and any Dissenting Shares), cash in an amount sufficient to pay the aggregate Merger Consideration (such cash being hereinafter referred to as the “Exchange Fund”). Except as contemplated bySection 2.04(f), the Exchange Fund shall not be used for any other purpose.

(b)Exchange Procedures for Stockholders. As promptly as practicable after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall cause the Paying Agent to mail to each person who was, at the Effective Time, a registered Stockholder entitled to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant toSection 2.01(a): (i) a letter of transmittal (which shall be in reasonable and customary form and shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Stock Certificates held by such person shall pass, only upon proper delivery of Stock Certificates (or effective affidavits of loss in lieu thereof) to the Paying Agent); and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of any Stock Certificates (or effective affidavits of loss in lieu thereof) and/or such other documents as may be required in exchange for the Merger Consideration. Upon surrender of a Stock Certificate (or effective affidavit of loss in lieu thereof) and/or such other documents as may be required pursuant to such instructions to the Paying Agent in accordance with the terms of such letter of transmittal, duly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto, each Stockholder holding Common Shares represented by such Stock Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor a check or wire transfer in an amount (subject to any required tax withholdings) equal to (x) the number of Common Shares represented by such Stock Certificate multiplied by (y) the Merger Consideration, and the Stock Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled. As promptly as practicable after the Effective Time, the Paying Agent shall issue and deliver to each holder of uncertificated Common Shares represented by a book entry (“Book-Entry Shares”) a check or wire transfer for the amount of cash that such holder is entitled to receive pursuant toSection 2.01(a) in respect of such Book-Entry Shares (subject to any required tax withholdings), without such Stockholder being required to deliver a Stock Certificate or an executed letter of transmittal to the Paying Agent, and such Book-Entry Shares shall then be cancelled. No interest shall be paid or will accrue on any amount payable in respect of the Common Shares pursuant to the provisions of thisArticle II. In the event of a transfer of ownership of Common Shares that is not registered in the transfer record of the Company, it shall be a condition of payment that such Stock Certificate so surrendered shall be properly endorsed or shall be otherwise in proper form for transfer or such Book-Entry Share shall be properly transferred and that the person requesting such payment shall have paid any transfer and other Taxes required by reason of the payment of the Merger Consideration to a person other than the registered holder of the Stock Certificate or Book-Entry Share surrendered or shall have established to the satisfaction of Parent that such Tax either has been paid or is not applicable. Until surrendered as contemplated by thisSection 2.04(b), each Stock Certificate 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 thisArticle II, without interest.

5

(c)Payments for Company Options, Restricted Shares and RSUs. As promptly as practicable after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall pay the aggregate Merger Consideration payable with respect to Company Options, Restricted Shares and RSUs through, to the extent applicable, the Surviving Corporation’s payroll (subject to any required tax withholdings) to the holders of Company Options, Restricted Shares and RSUs; provided, however, that to the extent evidence has been timely provided to the Surviving Corporation that an election under Section 83(b) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, was properly made with respect to any Restricted Shares, the Merger Consideration payable with respect to such Restricted Shares shall be paid in the manner described inSection 2.04(b) rather than thisSection 2.04(c).

(d)Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Stock Certificates. In the event any Stock Certificate has been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming such Stock Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by the Surviving Corporation, the posting by such person of a bond in reasonable and customary amount and upon such reasonable terms as the Surviving Corporation may determine are necessary as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Stock Certificate, the Paying Agent will issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Stock Certificate a check or wire transfer in the amount (subject to any required tax withholdings) equal to (x) the number of Common Shares represented by such Stock Certificate multiplied by (y) the Merger Consideration, and such Stock Certificate shall forthwith be cancelled.

(e)Adjustments to Merger Consideration. The Merger Consideration shall be adjusted to reflect appropriately the effect of any share split, reverse share split, share dividend (including any dividend or distribution of securities convertible into Common Shares), extraordinary cash dividends, reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, combination, exchange of shares or other like change with respect to Common Shares occurring on or after the date hereof and prior to the Effective Time.

(f)Investment of Exchange Fund. The Exchange Fund, pending its disbursement to the Stockholders, shall be invested by the Paying Agent as directed by Parent or, after the Effective Time, by the Surviving Corporation in (a) short-term direct obligations of the United States of America, (b) short-term obligations for which the full faith and credit of the United States of America is pledged to provide for the payment of principal and interest, or (c) certificates of deposit, bank repurchase agreements or banker’s acceptances of commercial banks with capital exceeding US$1 billion acceptable to Parent. Earnings from investments shall be the sole and exclusive property of Parent,provided,however, that no such investment or losses thereon shall affect the Merger Consideration payable to the holders of the Common Shares, and Parent shall promptly replace or cause to be replaced any funds deposited with the Paying Agent that are lost through any investment so as to ensure that the Exchange Fund is at all times maintained at a level sufficient for the Paying Agent to pay the Merger Consideration.

6

(g)Termination of the Exchange Fund. Any portion of the Exchange Fund (including any income or proceeds thereof or of any investment thereof) that remains undistributed to the Stockholders one (1) year after the Effective Time shall be delivered to the Surviving Corporation, and any Stockholder who has not theretofore complied with thisArticle II shall thereafter look only to the Surviving Corporation for the cash to which they are entitled pursuant toSection 2.01(a) and2.02. Any portion of the Exchange Fund remaining unclaimed by Stockholders as of a date which is immediately prior to such time as such amounts would otherwise escheat to or become property of any Governmental Authority shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, become the property of the Surviving Corporation free and clear of any claims or interest of any person previously entitled thereto.

(h)No Liability. None of the Paying Agent, Parent or the Surviving Corporation shall be liable to any Stockholders for any such Common Shares (or dividends or distributions with respect thereto) or cash delivered to a public official pursuant to any abandoned property, escheat or similar Law.

(i)Withholding Rights. Each of Parent, the Surviving Corporation and the Paying Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable by it to any recipient pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under any provision of United States federal, state, local or foreign Tax Law. To the extent that amounts are so deducted and withheld by Parent, the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, and paid to the appropriate taxing authority, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made by Parent, the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent, as the case may be.

SECTION 2.05No Transfers. At the Effective Time, (a) the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed and thereafter there shall be no further registration of transfers on the stock transfer books of the Surviving Corporation of the Common Shares that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, and (b) the Stockholders holding Common Shares outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall cease to have any rights with respect to such Common Shares, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or by Law. On or after the Effective Time, any Stock Certificates presented to the Paying Agent, Parent or Surviving Corporation for transfer or any other reason shall be canceled and (except for Common Shares cancelled pursuant toSection 2.01(b) and any Dissenting Shares) exchanged for the cash consideration to which the holders thereof are entitled pursuant to thisArticle II.

ARTICLE III

(b) Parent and Merger Sub were formed solely for the purpose of engaging in the Transactions. Parent owns of record and beneficially all of the outstanding equity securities of Merger Sub, free and clear of any Lien.

23

SECTION 4.04Financing; Equity Rollover. (a) Parent has delivered to the Company true and complete copies of (i) an executed equity commitment letter from IDG-Accel China Capital II L.P. (the “Sponsor”) (the “Equity Commitment Letter”), pursuant to which the Sponsor has committed to purchase, or cause the purchase of, for cash, subject to the terms and conditions in the Equity Commitment Letter, equity securities of Parent, up to the aggregate amount set forth therein (the “Equity Financing”), and (ii) the Contribution Agreement (together with the Equity Commitment Letter, the “Financing Commitments”), pursuant to which, subject to the terms and conditions therein, the Rollover Holders have committed to contribute to Parent, immediately prior to the Effective Time, the number of Common Shares set forth therein and to consummate the Transactions, in consideration of equity securities of Parent (together with the Equity Financing, the “Financing”).

(b) (i) The Financing Commitments are in full force and effect and are the legal, valid, binding and enforceable obligations of each party thereto, (ii) none of the Financing Commitments has been amended or modified and (iii) the respective commitments contained in the Financing Commitments have not been withdrawn or rescinded in any material respect, provided that Parent and Merger Sub may replace, amend or supplement the Financing Commitments to the extent permitted bySection 6.07.

Parent has paid all commitment and other fees in connection with the Equity Commitment Letter that are due and payable.

(c) Assuming (A) the Financing is funded in accordance with the Financing Commitments, and (B) the satisfaction of the conditions to the obligation of Parent and Merger Sub to consummate the Merger as set forth inSections 7.01 and7.02, the proceeds contemplated by the Equity Financing will be sufficient for Merger Sub and the Surviving Corporation to pay (1) the aggregate Merger Consideration, and (2) any other amounts required to be paid in connection with the consummation of the Transactions upon the terms and conditions contemplated hereby and all related fees and expenses associated therewith.

(d) The Financing Commitments contain all of the conditions precedent to the obligations of the parties thereunder to make the Financing available to Parent or Merger Sub on the terms and conditions therein.

SECTION 4.05Limited Guarantees. Concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, Parent has caused each of the Sponsors to deliver to the Company a duly executed Limited Guarantee. Assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery by the Company, each of the Limited Guarantees is in full force and effect and constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the corresponding Sponsor, and no event has occurred, which, with or without notice, lapse of time or both, would constitute a default on the part of a Sponsor under the relevant Limited Guarantee.

SECTION 4.06Litigation. As of the date hereof, (i) there are no Actions pending or, to the knowledge of Parent and Merger Sub, threatened against Parent, Merger Sub or any of their respective Affiliates, other than any such Action that would not, individually or in the aggregate, prevent or materially delay the consummation of the Transactions by Parent or Merger Sub, and (ii) neither Parent nor Merger Sub nor any of its Affiliates is a party to or subject to the provisions of any Law which would reasonably be expected to prevent or materially delay the consummation of the Transactions by Parent or Merger Sub.

(a) Other than as a result of this Agreement and the Contribution Agreement, except as reported in a Schedule 13D filed on or before the date of this Agreement, none of Parent, Merger Sub or any of their Affiliates beneficially owns (as such term is used in Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act) any Common Shares or other securities of, or any other economic interest in, the Company or the Company Subsidiaries or any options, warrants or other rights to acquire Common Shares or other securities of the Company or the Company Subsidiaries.

The Company and Parent shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause the initial Schedule 13E-3 to be filed with the SEC (with the initial Proxy Statement filed as an exhibit) within twenty (20) Business Days after the date hereof. Each of the Company and Parent shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Schedule 13E-3 to comply as to form in all material respects with the requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. Each of the Company and Parent shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to (i) respond as promptly as reasonably practicable to any comments received from the staff of the SEC with respect to such filings of the Proxy Statement and the Schedule 13E-3, (ii) as promptly as reasonably practicable prepare and file any amendments or supplements necessary to be filed in response to any such comments or as required by Law, (iii) conclude the review of the Proxy Statement and the Schedule 13E-3 by the staff of the SEC and thereafter, in the case of the Company, to mail to the Stockholders, as promptly as reasonably practicable, the Proxy Statement and all other required proxy or other material for meetings such as the Stockholders’ Meeting and (iv) to the extent required by applicable Law, as promptly as reasonably practicable prepare, file and distribute to the Stockholders any supplements or amendments to the Proxy Statement or Schedule 13E-3 if any event shall occur which requires such action at any time prior to the Stockholders’ Meeting. Each of the Company and Parent shall furnish all information concerning such party and its Affiliates (other than each other) to the other as may be reasonably requested in connection with the preparation, filing and distribution of the Proxy Statement and the Schedule 13E-3. The Company shall promptly notify Parent upon the receipt of any comments from the SEC or its staff or any request from the SEC or its staff for amendments or supplements to the Proxy Statement and Schedule 13E-3 and shall promptly provide Parent with copies of all correspondence between it and its Representatives, on the one hand, and the SEC and its staff, on the other hand. Prior to filing or mailing of the Proxy Statement or Schedule 13E-3 (or any amendment or supplement thereto) or responding to any comments of the SEC with respect thereto, the Company shall provide Parent an opportunity to review and comment on such document or response and shall give reasonable and good faith consideration to any comments made by Parent, Merger Sub and their counsel (it being understood that Parent, Merger Sub and their counsel shall provide any comments thereon as promptly as reasonably practicable). If at any time prior to the Stockholders’ Meeting, any information relating to the Company, Parent or any of their respective Affiliates, officers or directors is discovered by the Company or Parent which should be set forth in an amendment or supplement to the Proxy Statement or Schedule 13E-3 so that the Proxy Statement and Schedule 13E-3 shall not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading, the party which discovers such information shall promptly notify the other parties hereto and an appropriate amendment or supplement describing such information shall be filed with the SEC and, to the extent required by applicable Law, disseminated to the Stockholders.

SECTION 6.02Company Stockholders’ Meeting. (a) The Company shall, promptly after the SEC confirms that it has no further comments on the Schedule 13E-3 and Proxy Statement, (i) establish a record date for determining Stockholders entitled to vote at the stockholders’ meeting, and (ii) mail or cause to be mailed the Proxy Statement to the Stockholders (and concurrently furnish the Proxy Statement under Schedule 14A) as of the record date established for the stockholders’ meeting (the “Stockholders’ Meeting”) for the purpose of voting upon the adoption of this Agreement, regardless of whether the Company Board determines at any time that this Agreement is no longer advisable or recommends that the Stockholders reject it, or whether any other Change in the Company Recommendation has occurred at any time; provided, however, that in the event that a Change in the Company Recommendation has occurred in accordance withSection 6.04(c), (i) the Company may disclose the fact of such Change in the Company Recommendation in any solicitation made by the Company to its stockholders and (ii) the Company shall not be required to solicit proxies in favor of the adoption of this Agreement unless the Company Board thereafter reaffirms the Company Recommendation. Without the express written consent of Parent, adoption of this Agreement is the only matter (other than procedural matters, including a proposal to adjourn the meeting to solicit additional votes) that shall be proposed to be acted upon by the Stockholders at the Stockholders’ Meeting.

(b) Subject toSection 6.04(c), the Company Board shall recommend to Stockholders that they approve and adopt this Agreement, and shall include such recommendation in the Proxy Statement. Subject to the proviso inSection 6.02(a), the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to solicit from its Stockholders proxies in favor of the adoption of this Agreement and to take all other action necessary or advisable to secure the Requisite Company Vote. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the Company agrees that its obligations pursuant to thisSection 6.02 shall not be affected by the commencement, public proposal, public disclosure or communication to the Company or any other person of any Competing Transaction, or by any Change in the Company Recommendation.

31

(c) Parent shall cause all Common Shares beneficially owned directly or indirectly by Sponsor, Parent, Merger Sub or any of their respective Subsidiaries or Affiliates to be voted in favor of the adoption of this Agreement.

SECTION 6.03Access to Information. (a) From the date hereof until the Effective Time and subject to applicable Law, upon reasonable advance notice from Parent, the Company and the Company Subsidiaries shall (i) provide to Parent (and Parent’s officers, directors, employees, accountants, consultants, financial and legal advisors, agents, financing sources and other representatives, collectively, “Representatives”) reasonable access during normal business hours to the offices, properties, books, records and personnel of such party, (ii) furnish to Parent and its Representatives such existing financial and operating data and other existing information as such persons may reasonably request, and (iii) instruct its employees, legal counsel, financial advisors, auditors and other Representatives to reasonably cooperate with Parent and its Representatives in its investigation; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to (A) furnish, or provide access to, any information to any person not a party or otherwise subject to the Confidentiality Agreement, or (B) provide access to or furnish any information if doing so would (x) violate any Contract with any Third Party or any applicable Law, or (y) waive or cause any Company Subsidiary to waive any privilege or work product protection with respect to such information, provided that the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to permit inspection of or to disclose such information on a basis that does not waive any privilege or work product protection of the Company or any Company Subsidiary with respect thereto, including by means of a joint interest or defense agreement.

(b) With respect to the information disclosed pursuant toSection 6.03(a), the Parties shall comply with, and shall cause their respective Representatives to comply with, all of their respective obligations under the Confidentiality Agreement or any similar agreement entered into between the Company and any person to whom the Company, any Company Subsidiary or any of their Representatives provides information pursuant to thisSection 6.03.

(c) No investigation pursuant to thisSection 6.03 shall affect any representation or warranty in this Agreement of any party hereto or any condition to the obligations of the parties hereto.

32

SECTION 6.04No Solicitation of Transactions. (a) The Company agrees that neither it nor any Company Subsidiary nor any of the directors or officers of the Company or any Company Subsidiary will, and that it will direct its and the Company Subsidiaries’ agents, advisors and other Representatives (including any investment banker, attorney or accountant retained by it or any Company Subsidiary), not to, in each case, directly or indirectly, (i) solicit, initiate or knowingly encourage (including by way of furnishing nonpublic information in a manner designed to knowingly encourage), or take any other action to facilitate, any inquiries or the making of any proposal or offer (including any proposal or offer to its Stockholders) that constitutes, or would reasonably be expected to lead to, any Competing Transaction, (ii) enter into, maintain or continue discussions or negotiations with, or provide any nonpublic information to, any person or entity (excluding, for avoidance of doubt, the directors, officers, employees, financial advisors, attorneys, advisors and other Representatives of the Company) in furtherance of such inquiries or to obtain a proposal or offer for a Competing Transaction, (iii) agree to, approve, endorse or recommend any Competing Transaction or enter into any letter of intent or Contract or commitment contemplating or otherwise relating to any Competing Transaction (in each case, other than (1) a confidentiality agreement entered into in compliance withSection 6.04(b)) and (2) as permitted bySection 6.04(c)), or (iv) authorize or permit any of the officers or directors of the Company or any Company Subsidiary, or direct any investment banker, financial advisor, attorney, accountant or other Representative retained by or acting directly or indirectly under the direction of the Company or any Company Subsidiary, to take any action set forth in clauses (a)(i) – (a)(iii) of thisSection 6.04. The Company shall not release any Third Party whom the Company has reason to believe is seeking to make or has made a proposal or offer regarding a Competing Transaction from, or waive any provision of, any confidentiality or standstill agreement to which it is a party, unless the Company Board (or the applicable committee thereof) determines in good faith (after consultation with its outside legal counsel) that the failure to take such action would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with the fiduciary duties of the Company Board (or such committee) under applicable Law. The Company shall notify Parent as promptly as practicable (and in any event within forty-eight (48) hours after the Company has knowledge thereof), orally and in writing, of any proposal or offer, or any inquiry or contact with any person, regarding a Competing Transaction or that would reasonably be expected to lead to a Competing Transaction, specifying (x) the material terms and conditions thereof (including material amendments or proposed material amendments) and providing, if applicable, copies of any written requests, proposals or offers, including proposed agreements, (y) the identity of the party making such proposal or offer or the inquiry or contact, and (z) whether the Company Board (or the applicable committee thereof) has formed any intention to provide confidential information to such person. The Company shall keep Parent informed, on a reasonably current basis (and in any event within forty-eight (48) hours of the occurrence of any material changes, developments, discussions or negotiations) of the status and terms of any such proposal, offer, inquiry, contact or request and of any material changes in the status and terms of any such proposal, offer, inquiry, contact or request (including the material terms and conditions thereof). Without limiting the foregoing, the Company shall provide Parent with forty-eight (48) hours prior notice (or such lesser prior notice as is provided to the members of the Company Board or members of the Special Committee) of any meeting of the Company Board (or Special Committee) at which the Company Board (or Special Committee), is reasonably expected to consider any Competing Transaction. The Company immediately shall cease and cause to be terminated all existing discussions or negotiations with any parties conducted heretofore with respect to a Competing Transaction.

33

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in thisSection 6.04, the Company Board (or applicable committee thereof) may furnish information, including nonpublic information, to, and enter into discussions with, a person who has made an unsolicited, written, bona fide proposal or offer regarding a Competing Transaction (provided that the Company shall have complied with the requirements ofSection 6.04(a) with respect to such proposal or offer), if the Company Board (or applicable committee thereof) has (i) determined, in its good faith judgment (after consultation with a financial advisor of internationally recognized reputation and outside legal counsel), that such proposal or offer constitutes, or could reasonably be expected to lead to, a Superior Proposal, (ii) determined, in its good faith judgment (after consultation with outside legal counsel), that, in light of such Superior Proposal or potential Superior Proposal, failure to furnish such information or enter into discussions would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with its fiduciary obligations under applicable Laws, (iii) provided written notice to Parent of its intent to furnish information or enter into discussions with such person at least one (1) Business Day prior to taking any such action, and (iv) obtained from such person an executed confidentiality agreement on terms no less favorable to the Company in the aggregate than those contained in the Confidentiality Agreement (except that such confidentiality agreement need not include any standstill or similar provisions if the standstill provision in the Confidentiality Agreement shall have been waived by the Company Board or applicable committee thereof) (it being understood that such confidentiality agreement and any related agreements shall not include any provision calling for any exclusive right to negotiate with such party or having the effect of prohibiting the Company from satisfying its obligations under this Agreement); provided that the Company shall concurrently make available to Parent any material information concerning the Company and the Company Subsidiaries that is provided to any such person and that was not previously made available to Parent or its Representatives.

(c) Except as set forth in thisSection 6.04(c), neither the Company Board nor any committee thereof shall (i) change, withhold, withdraw, qualify or modify, or publicly propose to change, withhold, withdraw, qualify or modify, in a manner adverse to Parent or Merger Sub, the Company Recommendation, (ii) adopt, approve or recommend, or publicly propose to adopt, approve or recommend, any Competing Transaction (any of such actions under clauses (i) or (ii) being referred to as a “Change in the Company Recommendation”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company Board (or applicable committee thereof) determines, in its good faith judgment, prior to the time of the Stockholders’ Meeting and after consultation with outside legal counsel, that failure to make a Change in the Company Recommendation would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with its fiduciary obligations under applicable Laws, the Company Board may effect a Change in the Company Recommendation and, in the case of a Change in Company Recommendation to recommend a Superior Proposal, authorize the termination of this Agreement pursuant toSection 8.03(a), but, if such Change in Company Recommendation relates to Competing Transaction, only (i) if the Company shall have complied in all material respects with the requirements ofSections 6.04(a) and6.04(b) with respect to such proposal or offer; and (ii) after (A) providing at least four (4) Business Days’ written notice to Parent (a “Notice of Superior Proposal”) advising Parent that the Company Board (or applicable committee thereof) has received a Superior Proposal, specifying the material terms and conditions of such Superior Proposal and identifying the person making such Superior Proposal and indicating that the Company Board intends to effect a Change in the Company Recommendation and the manner in which it intends (or may intend) to do so (it being understood that the Notice of Superior Proposal or any amendment or update thereto or the determination to deliver any such notice shall not constitute a Change in the Company Recommendation), and (B) negotiating with and directing its financial and legal advisors to negotiate with Parent and its Representatives in good faith (to the extent Parent desires to negotiate) to make such adjustments in the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Limited Guarantee and the Financing Commitments (as evidenced by a definitive merger agreement, a definitive limited guarantee, a definitive equity commitment letter and a definitive contribution agreement executed by Parent, Merger Sub and Sponsor, as applicable, and delivered to the Company prior to the expiration of such negotiation period) so that such third-party proposal or offer would cease to constitute a Superior Proposal; provided that any material modifications to such third-party proposal or offer that the Company Board has determined to be a Superior Proposal shall be deemed a new Superior Proposal and the Company shall be required to again comply with the requirements of thisSection 6.04(c) (except that the applicable notice period shall be reduced from four (4) Business Days to three (3) Business Days). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the obligation of the Company to call, give notice of, convene and hold the Stockholders’ Meeting shall not be limited or otherwise affected by the commencement, disclosure, announcement or submission to it of any Competing Transaction, or by any Change in the Company Recommendation. The Company shall not submit any Competing Transaction to a vote of the Stockholders.

34

(d)Section 6.04(a) shall not prohibit the Company Board from disclosing to the Stockholders a position contemplated by Rule 14e-2(a) and Rule 14d-9 promulgated under the Exchange Act. For avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit the Company or the Company Board or any committee thereof from issuing a “stop, look and listen” statement or other communication pending disclosure of its position, as contemplated by Rule 14e-2 or Rule 14d-9 under the Exchange Act. For further avoidance of doubt, it shall not be a violation of this Agreement for the Company Board (or applicable committee thereof), at any meeting at which, or in any written consent in which, it shall adopt resolutions authorizing the termination of this Agreement pursuant toSection 8.03(a), to adopt further resolutions authorizing, agreeing to, approving, endorsing or recommending any Superior Proposal and any definitive agreement or agreements relating thereto.

(e) A “Competing Transaction” means any of the following (other than the Transactions): (i) any merger, consolidation, share exchange, business combination, scheme of arrangement, amalgamation, recapitalization, liquidation, dissolution or other similar transaction involving the Company or any Company Subsidiary as a result of which a Third Party would acquire assets that, individually or in the aggregate, constitute 20% or more of the consolidated assets of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or to which 20% or more of the total consolidated revenue, operating income or EBITDA of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, are attributable (in each case as determined by the Company Board (or applicable committee thereof) in good faith); (ii) any sale, lease, exchange, transfer or other disposition to a Third Party of assets or businesses that constitute or represent 20% or more of the total consolidated revenue, operating income, EBITDA or assets of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries, taken as a whole (in each case as determined by the Company Board (or applicable committee thereof) in good faith); (iii) any sale, exchange, transfer or other disposition of 20% or more of the capital stock of the Company to a Third Party; or (iv) any general offer, tender offer or exchange offer that, if consummated, would result in a Third Party beneficially owning 20% or more of the capital stock of the Company.

35

(f) A “Superior Proposal” means a written, bona fide proposal or offer made by a Third Party to consummate any of the following transactions: (i) a merger, consolidation, share exchange, business combination, scheme of arrangement, amalgamation, recapitalization, liquidation, dissolution or other similar transaction involving the Company pursuant to which the Stockholders immediately preceding such transaction would hold less than 50% of the equity interest in the surviving or resulting entity of such transaction; (ii) the acquisition by any person or group (including by means of a general offer, tender offer or an exchange offer or a two-step transaction involving a tender offer followed with reasonable promptness by a merger or consolidation involving the Company), directly or indirectly, of ownership of a majority of the then outstanding Shares of the Company or (iii) the acquisition by any person or group, directly or indirectly, of assets that, individually or in the aggregate, constitute a majority of the consolidated assets of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or to which a majority of the total consolidated revenue, operating income or EBITDA of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, are attributable (in each case as determined by the Company Board (or applicable committee thereof) in good faith), in each case on terms (including conditions to consummation of the contemplated transaction) that the Company Board (or applicable committee thereof) determines, in its good faith judgment (after (x) consultation with a financial advisor of internationally recognized reputation and outside legal counsel, and (y) taking into consideration, among other things, all of the terms and conditions, including all legal, financial, regulatory and other aspects, of such proposal or offer and this Agreement (in each case taking into account any revisions to this Agreement made or proposed in writing by Parent pursuant toSection 6.04(c) or otherwise prior to the time of determination), including financing, regulatory approvals, shareholder litigation, identity of the person or group making the offer, breakup or termination fee and expense reimbursement provisions, expected timing and risk and likelihood of consummation and other relevant events and circumstances), to be more favorable to the Stockholders (in their capacity as Stockholders) (other than the Rollover Holders) than the Merger; provided, however, that any such offer shall not be deemed to be a “Superior Proposal” if the transaction contemplated by such offer is not reasonably capable of being completed on the terms proposed without unreasonable delay.

SECTION 6.05Directors’ and Officers’ Indemnification and Insurance. (a) The certificate of incorporation and bylaws (or comparable organizational documents) of the Surviving Corporation and each Company Subsidiary shall contain provisions no less favorable with respect to exculpation, indemnification and advancement of expenses than are set forth in the certificate of incorporation and bylaws (or comparable organizational documents) of the Company and each Company Subsidiary as in effect on the date hereof, which provisions shall not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified for a period of six (6) years from the Effective Time in any manner that would affect adversely the rights thereunder of individuals who, at or prior to the Effective Time, were directors, officers, employees, fiduciaries or agents of the Company or any Company Subsidiary, unless such modification shall be required by Law.

(b) The Surviving Corporation shall maintain in effect for six (6) years from the Effective Time the current directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies maintained by the Company with respect to matters occurring at or prior to the Effective Time, including acts or omissions occurring in connection with this Agreement and the consummation of the Transactions (the parties covered thereby, the “Insured Parties”); provided, however, that the Surviving Corporation may substitute therefor policies of at least the same coverage containing terms and conditions that are no less favorable to the Insured Parties, and provided, further, that in no event shall the Surviving Corporation be required to expend pursuant to thisSection 6.05(b) more than an amount per year equal to 300% of current annual premiums paid by the Company for such insurance. In addition, the Company may and, at Parent’s request, the Company shall, purchase a six (6)-year “tail” prepaid policy or policies prior to the Effective Time on terms and conditions no less advantageous to the Insured Parties than the existing directors’ and officers’ liability insurance maintained by the Company. If such “tail” prepaid policies have been obtained by the Company prior to the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall, and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, maintain such policies in full force and effect, and continue to honor the respective obligations thereunder, and all other obligations of Parent or Surviving Corporation under thisSection 6.05(b) shall terminate.

36

(c) Subject to the terms and conditions of thisSection 6.05, from and after the Effective Time, each of Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall, and shall cause the Company Subsidiaries to, indemnify and hold harmless (and shall advance expenses as incurred to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law to) the present and former officers and directors of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries, and any person who served or serves, at the request or for the benefit of the Company or any Company Subsidiary, as a director, officer, partner, member, manager, trustee, employee or other fiduciary of any employee benefit plan, enterprise or other person (all such persons, collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”), against any and all costs or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses), judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages, liabilities and amounts paid in settlement in connection with any actual or threatened claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (“Damages”), arising out of, relating to or in connection with, any acts or omissions occurring or alleged to have occurred prior to or at the Effective Time in connection with such Indemnified Person’s service as a director or officer of the Company or any Company Subsidiary or in such other capacity, including, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, (i) the approval of this Agreement, the Merger or the other Transactions or arising out of or pertaining to the Transactions and (ii) claims, actions, suits and proceedings to enforce this provision or other rights to exculpation, indemnification and advancement of expenses, provided that such indemnification shall be subject to any limitation imposed from time to time under applicable Law; provided, further, that a person to whom any costs or expenses are advanced shall have provided the Surviving Corporation with (1) documentary evidence of incurrence by such person of such costs or expenses and (2) a written undertaking by such person to repay any and all amounts advanced if it shall ultimately be determined that he or she is not entitled to indemnification under or pursuant to thisSection 6.05(c) (which undertaking shall be accepted without regard to the ability of such person to repay such amounts). Notwithstanding anything in the foregoing to the contrary, no indemnification shall be made under thisSection 6.05(c) in respect of any Action as to which a person seeking indemnification shall have been adjudged, in a final, non-appealable decision, by a court, tribunal or other Governmental Authority of competent jurisdiction (A) to be liable to the Company or any Company Subsidiary, unless and to the extent that such court, tribunal or other Governmental Authority shall determine upon application that in view of all the circumstances of the case such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification, or (B) that such person’s actions, or omissions to act: (1) constitute a violation of Law, unless such person had reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was lawful or had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful, or (2) were not taken in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company or Company Subsidiary, as applicable.

37

(d) Upon being served with any summons, citation, subpoena, complaint, indictment, information, or other document relating to any Action which may result in the payment or advancement of any amounts underSection 6.05(c), the person seeking indemnification shall promptly notify the Surviving Corporation, but the failure to provide such notice shall not affect such person’s rights underSection 6.05(c) except to the extent that the Surviving Corporation is materially prejudiced thereby. The Surviving Corporation (or a subsidiary nominated by it) shall have the right, but not the obligation, to participate in any such Action and, at its option, assume the defense of such Action with counsel selected by the Surviving Corporation and reasonably acceptable to the party seeking indemnification, at the expense of the Surviving Corporation (or such subsidiary). The person seeking indemnification shall have the right to effectively participate in the defense and/or settlement of such Action, including receiving copies of all correspondence and participating in all meetings and teleconferences concerning the Action. In the event the Surviving Corporation (or a subsidiary nominated by it) assumes the defense of any Action pursuant to thisSection 6.05(d), neither the Surviving Corporation nor any of its subsidiaries shall be liable to the person seeking indemnification for any fees of counsel subsequently incurred by such person with respect to the same Action, unless the Surviving Corporation (or such subsidiary) shall not reasonably pursue such defense. The Surviving Corporation (or such subsidiary) shall not settle or compromise any such Action with respect to any individual person seeking indemnification without the prior written consent of such person unless such settlement or compromise (i) includes an unconditional release of the person seeking indemnification with respect to any and all claims that were or could have been brought in such Action, (ii) contains no admission or finding of guilt or fault by the person seeking indemnification and (iii) imposes no liability or penalty upon the person seeking indemnification.

(e) If Parent or the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective successors or assigns (i) shall consolidate with or merge into any other corporation or entity and shall not be the resulting or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) shall transfer all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any person, then, and in each such case, proper provisions shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Parent or the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, shall assume all of the obligations set forth in thisSection 6.05.

(f) The provisions of thisSection 6.05 shall survive the consummation of the Merger and are intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each of the Indemnified Parties and their heirs and legal representatives, each of whom shall be a third-party beneficiary of the provisions of this Section 6.05. After the Effective Time, the obligations of Parent and the Surviving Corporation under this Section 6.05 shall not be terminated or modified in such a manner as to adversely affect the rights of any Indemnified Party without the consent of such Indemnified Party.

(g) The provisions of thisSection 6.05 are in addition to any other rights an Indemnified Party may have under the certificate of incorporation and bylaws (or comparable organizational documents) of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries, or any agreement between an Indemnified Party and the Company or any Company Subsidiary, under the DGCL or other applicable Law, or otherwise. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to, nor shall it be construed to, 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 Company Subsidiary or their respective current or former directors and officers, it being understood and agreed that the indemnification and advancement of expenses provided for in thisSection 6.05 is not prior to or in substitution for any such claims under any such policies.

38

(h) Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall pay all reasonable expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, that may be incurred by any Indemnified Party in enforcing the indemnity and other obligations provided in thisSection 6.05 unless such Indemnified Party is finally judicially determined not to be entitled to indemnification under thisSection 6.05.

SECTION 6.06Notification of Certain Matters. Each of the Company, on the one hand, and Parent and Merger Sub, on the other, shall promptly notify the other in writing of:

(a) any notice or other communication from any person alleging that the consent of such person is or may be required in connection with the Transactions;

(b) any notice or other communication from any Governmental Authority in connection with the Transactions;

(c) any Actions commenced or, to the knowledge of the Company or the knowledge of Parent, threatened against the Company or any Company Subsidiary or Parent or any of its subsidiaries, as the case may be, that, if pending on the date of this Agreement, would have been required to have been disclosed by such person pursuant to any of such person’s representations and warranties contained herein, or that relate to such person’s ability to consummate the Transactions; and

(d) any breach of any representation or warranty or failure to perform any covenant or agreement on the part of such person set forth in this Agreement shall have occurred that would cause any of the conditions set forth inSections 7.01,7.02 and7.03 not to be satisfied;

together, in each case, with a copy of any such notice, communication or Action; provided, that the delivery of any notice pursuant to thisSection 6.06 shall not be deemed to be an admission that such notice is required and shall not limit or otherwise affect the remedies available hereunder to the party receiving such notice.

SECTION 6.07Financing. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each of Parent and Merger Sub shall take, or cause to be taken, all actions necessary, proper or advisable to arrange and obtain the proceeds of the Financing on the terms and conditions described in the Financing Commitments, including (i) entering into definitive agreements with respect thereto, (ii) satisfying, or causing to be satisfied, on a timely basis all conditions applicable to, and within the control of, Parent, Merger Sub or their respective Representatives in such definitive agreements and (iii) causing such Financings to be funded at the Closing such that Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall be able to pay all of the amounts payable by them in connection with the Merger and other Transactions.

39

(b) Neither Parent nor Merger Sub shall agree to any amendment or modification to, or grant any waiver of any condition or other provision of the Financing Commitments without the prior written consent of the Company to the extent any such amendment, modification or waiver would reduce the aggregate amount of cash proceeds available from the Financings to fund the Merger and the other Transactions (as compared to the amount of such aggregate proceeds contemplated under the Financing as in effect on the date hereof) or would impose new or additional conditions that would be reasonably likely to (i) prevent or materially delay or impair the ability of Parent or Merger Sub to consummate the Merger and the other Transactions or (ii) adversely impact the ability of Parent or Merger Sub to enforce their respective rights against the other parties to the Financing Commitments. Parent shall not release or consent to the termination of the obligations of the other parties to the Financing Commitments, except for assignments and replacements of investors in accordance with the express terms of the Financing Commitments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, Parent shall have the right to amend, replace, supplement or otherwise modify, or waive any of its rights under, the Financing Commitments or any definitive agreements with respect to the Financing, and/or substitute debt or other equity financing for all or any portion of the Equity Financing Commitment from the same and/or alternative financing sources (the “Alternative Financing”); provided that any such amendment, replacement, supplement or other modification to or waiver of any provision of the Financing Commitments or such definitive agreements with respect to the Financing Commitments and/or substitution for all or any portion of the Equity Financing Commitments shall not (i) expand upon the conditions contained therein in any way or prevent or cause any delay of the consummation of the Merger or the other Transactions or (ii) otherwise result in financing terms that are materially less favorable, in the aggregate, to Parent, Merger Sub and the Company than those in the Financing Commitments as in effect on the date hereof.

Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that Existing Company Employees shall also be given credit for any deductible or co-payment amounts paid under the Company’s “group health plan” (as defined in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended) in respect of the plan year in which the Closing occurs, to the extent that, following the Closing, they participate in any “group health plan” maintained by Parent or any Affiliate of Parent for which deductibles or co-payments are required. Parent shall also use commercially reasonable efforts to cause each “group health plan” maintained by or contributed to by Parent or any of its Affiliates (including, after the Closing, the Surviving Corporation) in which Company Employees participate, to waive any preexisting condition that was waived under the terms of any Company Employee Plan that is a “group health plan” immediately prior to the Closing or limitations as to waiting periods, physical examinations or exclusions which would otherwise be applicable to an Existing Company Employee on or after the Closing.

In no event shall the Company be required to pay the Company Termination Fee on more than one occasion.

49

(b) Parent will pay, or cause to be paid, to the Company an amount equal to $3,540,000 (the “Parent Termination Fee”) if this Agreement is terminated by the Company pursuant toSection 8.03(b) orSection 8.03(c), such payment to be made as promptly as possible (but in any event within two (2) Business Days) following such termination. In no event shall Parent be required to pay the Parent Termination Fee on more than one occasion.

(c) In the event this Agreement is terminated by Parent pursuant toSection 8.04(b), then the Company shall, within five (5) Business Days following receipt of an invoice therefor, reimburse Parent for up to $700,000 of Parent’s reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees and expenses (including reasonable legal fees and expenses) actually incurred by Parent and Merger Sub on or prior to the termination of this Agreement in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby (including the Financing), by wire transfer of same day funds to one or more accounts designated by Parent.

Such collection expenses shall not otherwise diminish in any way the payment obligations hereunder. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any cost, expense or interest provided in thisSection 8.06(d) shall be payable by the Company or Parent, as the case may be, only in the event the other party shall have obtained a final, non-appealable judgment against the Company or Parent for its failure to pay the Company Termination Fee or the Parent Termination Fee, as the case may be.

(e) Each of the Company, Parent and Merger Sub acknowledges that (i) the agreements contained in thisSection 8.06 are an integral part of the Transactions, (ii) the damages resulting from termination of this Agreement under circumstances where a Company Termination Fee or Parent Termination Fee is payable are uncertain and incapable of accurate calculation and therefore, the amounts payable pursuant toSection 8.06(a) orSection 8.06(b) are not a penalty but rather constitute amounts akin to liquidated damages in a reasonable amount that will compensate Parent or the Company, as the case may be, for the efforts and resources expended and opportunities foregone while negotiating this Agreement and in reliance on this Agreement and on the expectation of the consummation of the Transactions, and (iii) without the agreements contained in thisSection 8.06, the parties hereto would not have entered into this Agreement.

(f) Except as set forth in thisSection 8.06, all costs and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the Transactions shall be paid by the party incurring such expenses, whether or not the Merger is consummated, except that all fees payable under or pursuant to antitrust or competition Laws shall be borne by the Parent, whether or not the Transactions are consummated.

50

SECTION 8.07Limitations on Liability. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the remedies provided for in the last sentence ofSection 6.07(f),Section 8.06 andSection 9.07 shall be the parties’ sole and exclusive remedies for any breaches of this Agreement or any claims relating to the Transactions, other than in the case of fraud. In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, any and all other rights, claims and causes of action (other than fraud), known or unknown, foreseen or unforeseen, which exist or may arise in the future, that such party may have against the other party or any of its directors, officers, employees, investment bankers, attorneys, accountants and other advisors or representatives arising under or based upon any federal, state, or foreign local law (including any securities law, common law or otherwise) for any breach of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement.

This Agreement may not be amended except by an instrument in writing signed by each of the parties hereto.

SECTION 9.11Waiver. At any time prior to the Effective Time, any party hereto may by action taken by or on behalf of their respective Boards of Directors (in the case of the Company, upon the recommendation of the Special Committee, if then in existence) (a) extend the time for the performance of any obligation or other act of any other party hereto, (b) waive any inaccuracy in the representations and warranties of any other party contained herein or in any document delivered pursuant hereto and (c) waive compliance with any covenant or agreement of any other party or any condition to its own obligations contained herein.
