(a) Vested Company Options. At the Effective Time each Vested Company Option outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, will, without any action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or the holder thereof, be cancelled and converted into and will become a right to receive an amount in cash, without interest, equal to (i) the amount of the Per Share Price (less the exercise price per share attributable to such Vested Company Option); multiplied by (ii) the total number of Company Shares issuable upon exercise in full of such Vested Company Option, subject to any required withholding of Taxes (the “Vested Option Consideration”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, with respect to Company Options for which the exercise price per share attributable to such Company Options is equal to or greater than the Per Share Price, such Company Options will be cancelled without any cash payment being made in respect thereof.

(b) Unvested Company Options.Each Unvested Company Option which is not a Performance Vesting Option shall be cancelled and replaced with a right to receive an amount in cash, without interest, equal to the product of (A) the aggregate number of Company Shares subject to such Unvested Company Option multiplied by (B) the excess, if any, of the Per Share Price over the applicable per share exercise price under such Unvested Company Option, subject to any required withholding of Taxes (the “Unvested Option Consideration”), which Unvested Option Consideration will, subject to the holder’s continued service with Parent and its Affiliates (including the Surviving Company and its Subsidiaries) through the applicable vesting dates, vest and be payable at the same time as the Unvested Company Option for which such Unvested Option Consideration amounts were exchanged would have vested pursuant to its terms. The Unvested Option Consideration will have the same vesting schedule as applied to the award of Unvested Company Option for which it was exchanged, except for terms rendered inoperative by reason of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, any provision providing for vesting solely as a result of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby (either alone or in combination with any termination of employment) or for such other administrative or ministerial changes as in the reasonable and good faith determination of Parent are appropriate to conform the administration of the Unvested Option Consideration.

(c) Performance Vesting Options. At the Effective Time, the level at which the vesting conditions of the Performance Vesting Options have been satisfied with respect to each Performance Vesting Option that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be determined in good faith by the Board of Directors or any appropriate committee thereof based on the Company’s achievement of the applicable performance goals as of the Closing Date (which achievement shall in no event be determined to be greater than the target level of performance), and each Performance Vesting Option that so vests shall become a Vested Company Option, entitled to the Vested Option Consideration pursuant toSection 2.8(a) hereof. For the avoidance of doubt, any Performance Vesting Option that does not become a Vested Company Option pursuant to thisSection 2.8(c) shall be canceled and terminated as of the Effective Time, and no payment shall be made with respect thereto.

(d) Vested Company RSUs. At the Effective Time each Vested Company RSU outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, will, without any action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or the holder thereof, be cancelled and converted into and will become a right to receive an amount in cash, without interest, equal to (i) the amount of the Per Share Price; multiplied by (ii) the total number of Company Shares subject to such Company RSU, subject to any required withholding of Taxes (the “Vested RSU Consideration”).

(e) Unvested Company RSUs.Each Unvested Company RSU shall be cancelled and replaced with a right to receive an amount in cash, without interest, equal to the product of (i) the amount of the Per Share Price multiplied by (ii) the total number of Company Shares subject to such Unvested Company RSU, subject to any required withholding of Taxes (the “Unvested RSU Consideration”), which Unvested RSU Consideration amounts will, subject to the holder’s continued service with Parent and its Affiliates (including the Surviving Company and its Subsidiaries) through the applicable vesting dates, vest and be payable at the same time as the Unvested Company RSU for which such Unvested RSU Consideration amounts were exchanged would have vested pursuant to its terms. All Unvested RSU Consideration will have the same vesting schedule as applied to the award of Unvested Company RSUs for which they were exchanged, except for terms rendered inoperative by reason of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, any provision providing for vesting solely as a result of the consummation of

the transactions contemplated hereby (either alone or in combination with any termination of employment) or for such other administrative or ministerial changes as in the reasonable and good faith determination of Parent are appropriate to conform the administration of the Unvested RSU Consideration.

(f) Specified Restricted Shares. At the Effective Time, each Specified Restricted Share outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, will, without any action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or the holder thereof, be cancelled and converted into the right to receive an amount in cash, without interest, equal to (x) the amount of the Per Share Price; multiplied by (y) the total number of Company Shares subject to such Specified Restricted Shares (the “Restricted Share Consideration”); provided that such Restricted Share Consideration will continue to be subject to the same vesting terms and/or restrictions (including with respect to forfeiture thereof) as the Specified Restricted Share for which such Restricted Share Consideration was exchanged and will be subject to any required withholding of Taxes. The Restricted Share Consideration will be payable at the same time as the restrictions or vesting terms with respect to the Specified Restricted Share for which such Restricted Share Consideration was exchanged would have lapsed or been satisfied, as applicable, as further specified onSection 1.1(c)(iii) of the Company Disclosure Letters.

(g) ESPP.Effective as of no later than immediately preceding the Effective Time, the Company shall terminate the ESPP and shall provide such notice of termination as may be required by the terms of the ESPP.

Prior to the Closing, Parent shall (i) select a nationally recognized bank or trust company reasonably acceptable to the Company to act as the payment agent for the Merger (the “Payment Agent”); and (ii) enter into a payment agent agreement, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Company, with such Payment Agent.

(b) Payment Fund. At or prior to the Closing, Parent shall deposit (or cause to be deposited) with the Payment Agent, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, for payment to the holders of Company Shares pursuant toSection 2.7, an amount of cash equal to the aggregate consideration to which such holders of Company Shares (other than Dissenting Shares) become entitled pursuant toSection 2.7. Until disbursed in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, such cash shall be invested by the Payment Agent, as directed by Parent or the Surviving Company, in (i) obligations of or fully guaranteed by the United States or any agency or instrumentality thereof and backed by the full faith and credit of the United States with a maturity of no more than 30 days; (ii) commercial paper obligations ratedA-1 orP-1 or better by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. or Standard & Poor’s Corporation, respectively; or (iii) certificates of deposit, bank repurchase agreements or banker’s acceptances of commercial banks with capital exceeding $1,000,000,000 (based on the most recent financial statements of such bank that are then publicly available) (such cash and any proceeds thereon, the “Payment Fund”). To the extent that (A) there are any losses with respect to any investments of the Payment Fund; (B) the Payment Fund diminishes for any reason below the level required for the Payment Agent to promptly pay the cash amounts contemplated bySection 2.7; or (C) all or any portion of the Payment Fund is unavailable for Parent (or the Payment Agent on behalf of Parent) to promptly pay the cash amounts contemplated bySection 2.7 for any reason, Parent shall, or shall cause the

Surviving Company to, promptly replace or restore the amount of cash in the Payment Fund so as to ensure that the Payment Fund is at all times fully available for distribution and maintained at a level sufficient for the Payment Agent to make the payments contemplated bySection 2.7. Any income from investment of the Payment Fund will be payable to Parent or the Surviving Company, as Parent directs. The Payment Fund shall not be used for any purpose other than the payment to holders of Company Shares as contemplated bySection 2.7.

(c) Payment Procedures. Promptly following the Effective Time (and in any event within three (3) Business Days), Parent and the Surviving Company shall cause the Payment Agent to mail to each holder of record as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than Owned Company Shares) of one or more certificates that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented issued and outstanding Company Shares (other than Owned Company Shares) (the “Certificates” (if any)) (i) a letter of transmittal in customary form (which will specify that delivery will be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates will pass, only upon delivery of the Certificates to the Payment Agent (or affidavit and indemnity of loss in lieu of such certificate as provided for inSection 2.11)), and (ii) instructions for effecting the surrender of the Certificates (or such affidavit of loss) in exchange for the Per Share Price payable with respect to the Company Shares formerly represented thereby pursuant toSection 2.7. Upon surrender of Certificates (or such affidavit of loss) for cancellation to the Payment Agent, together with such letter of transmittal, duly completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto, the holders of such Certificates will be entitled to receive in exchange therefor an amount in cash equal to the product obtained by multiplying (x) the aggregate number of Company Shares represented by such Certificates by (y) the Per Share Price, and the Certificates so surrendered (or the subject of an affidavit of loss so provided) will forthwith be cancelled. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no record holder of uncertificated Company Shares (other than Owned Company Shares) (the “Uncertificated Shares”) will be required to deliver a Certificate or an executed letter of transmittal to the Payment Agent in order to receive the payment that such holder is entitled to receive pursuant toSection 2.7 with respect of such Uncertificated Shares. In lieu thereof, such record holder, upon receipt of an “agent’s message” by the Payment Agent (or such other evidence, if any, of transfer as the Payment Agent may reasonably request), will be entitled to receive in exchange therefor an amount in cash equal to the product obtained by multiplying (1) the aggregate number of Company Shares represented by such holder’s transferred Uncertificated Shares by (2) the Per Share Price, and the transferred Uncertificated Shares will be cancelled. No interest will be paid or accrued for the benefit of holders of the Certificates and Uncertificated Shares on the Per Share Price payable upon the surrender of such Certificates and transfer of Uncertificated Shares pursuant to thisSection 2.9(c). Until so surrendered or transferred, outstanding Certificates and Uncertificated Shares will be deemed from and after the Effective Time to evidence only the right to receive the Per Share Price payable in respect thereof pursuant toSection 2.7.

(d) DTC Payment. Prior to the Effective Time, Parent and the Company shall cooperate to establish procedures with the Payment Agent and the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) with the objective that the Payment Agent shall transmit to DTC or its nominee on the Closing Date an amount in cash, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, equal to (i) the number of Company Shares (other than Owned Company Shares and Dissenting Shares) held of record by DTC or such nominee immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by (ii) the Per Share Price.

(e) Transfers of Ownership. If payment of the Per Share Price is to be made to a Person other than the Person in whose name the surrendered Certificate or transferred Uncertificated Share in exchange therefor is registered, it shall be a condition of payment that (i) the Person requesting such exchange present proper evidence of transfer or shall otherwise be in proper form for transfer and (ii) the Person requesting such payment shall have paid any transfer and other Taxes required by reason of the payment of the Per Share Price to a Person other than the registered holder of such Certificate or Uncertificated Share surrendered and shall have established to the reasonable satisfaction of Parent and the Surviving Company that such Tax either has been paid or is not applicable.

(f) No Liability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, none of the Payment Agent, Parent, the Surviving Company or any other Party will be liable to a holder of Company Shares for any amount properly paid to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law.

(g) Distribution of Payment Fund to Parent. Any portion of the Payment Fund that remains undistributed to the holders of the Certificates or Uncertificated Shares on the date that is one (1) year after the Effective Time will be delivered to Parent (or the Surviving Company as directed by Parent) upon demand, and any holders of Company Shares that were issued and outstanding as of immediately prior to the Merger who have not theretofore surrendered or transferred their Certificates representing such Company Shares or Uncertificated Shares for exchange pursuant to thisSection 2.9 shall thereafter look for payment of the Per Share Price payable in respect of the Company Shares represented by such Certificates or Uncertificated Shares solely to Parent (subject to abandoned property, escheat or similar Laws), as general creditors thereof, for any claim to the Per Share Price to which such holders may be entitled pursuant toSection 2.7. Any amounts remaining unclaimed by holders of any such Certificates or Uncertificated Shares five (5) years after the Effective Time, or at such earlier date as is immediately prior to the time at which such amounts would otherwise escheat to, or become property of, any Governmental Authority, will, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, become the property of the Surviving Company free and clear of any claims or interest of any such holders (and their successors, assigns or personal representatives) previously entitled thereto.

2.10 No Further Ownership Rights in Company Shares. From and after the Effective Time, (a) all Company Shares will no longer be outstanding and will automatically be cancelled and will cease to exist; and (b) each holder of a Certificate theretofore representing any Company Shares or Uncertificated Shares will cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the Per Share Price payable therefor in accordance withSection 2.7, or in the case of Dissenting Shares, the rights pursuant toSection 2.7(c). The Per Share Price paid in accordance with the terms of thisArticle II will be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such Company Shares. From and after the Effective Time, there will be no further registration of transfers on the records of the Surviving Company of Company Shares that were issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, other than transfers to reflect, in accordance with customary settlement procedures, trades effected prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates or Uncertificated Shares are presented to the Surviving Company for any reason, they will (subject to compliance with the exchange procedures ofSection 2.9(c)) be cancelled and exchanged as provided in thisArticle II.

2.11 Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. In the event that any Certificates have been lost, stolen or destroyed, the Payment Agent shall issue in exchange therefor, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the holder thereof, the Per Share Price payable in respect thereof pursuant toSection 2.7. Parent or the Payment Agent may, in its reasonable discretion and as a condition precedent to the payment of such Per Share Price, require the owners of such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificates to deliver a bond in such reasonable amount as it may direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against Parent, the Surviving Company or the Payment Agent with respect to the Certificates alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.

2.12 Required Withholding. Each of the Payment Agent, Parent, Merger Sub, the Company and the Surviving Company will be entitled to deduct and withhold from any amounts payable pursuant to this Agreement, including from any payment to any holder or former holder of Company Shares or Company Equity Awards, such amounts as are required to be deducted or withheld therefrom pursuant to the Code or any other Tax Laws. To the extent that any amounts are deducted or withheld pursuant to thisSection 2.12 and paid over to the appropriate Governmental Authority, such amounts will be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of whom such deduction or withholding was made.

2.13 Agreement of Fair Value. Parent, Merger Sub and the Company respectively agree that the Per Share Price represents not less than the fair value of the Company Shares for the purposes of Section 238(8) of the CICL.

(ii) cause or permit the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to enter into an Alternative Acquisition Agreement.

(e) Company Board Recommendation Change; Entry into Alternative Acquisition Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, at any time prior to obtaining the Requisite Shareholder Approval:

(i) the Company Board (or a committee thereof) may effect a Company Board Recommendation Change in response to an Intervening Event if the Company Board (or a committee thereof) determines in good faith (after consultation with its financial advisors and outside legal counsel) that the failure to do so would be reasonably likely to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law;provided,however, that the Company Board (or a committee thereof) shall not effect such a Company Board Recommendation Change unless:

(1) the Company has provided prior written notice to Parent at least five (5) Business Days in advance to the effect that the Company Board (or a committee thereof) intends to effect a Company Board Recommendation Change, which notice shall specify the basis for such Company Board Recommendation Change, including a reasonably detailed description of the facts and circumstances relating to such Intervening Event;

(2) prior to effecting such Company Board Recommendation Change, during such five (5) Business Day period, the Company has negotiated with Parent and its Representatives in good faith (to the extent that Parent requested to do so) to allow Parent to offer such adjustments to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Financing Letters in such a manner that would obviate the need to effect a Company Board Recommendation Change in response to such Intervening Event, and following such five (5) Business Day period, the Company Board (after consultation with its financial advisors and outside legal counsel and taking into account Parent’s proposed revisions to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Financing Letters) shall have determined that the failure of the Company Board to make such a Company Board Recommendation Change would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law; and

(3) following such five (5) Business Day period, the Company Board (or a committee thereof) (after consultation with its financial advisors and outside legal counsel and taking into account Parent’s proposed revisions to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Financing Letters and any other information provided by Parent) shall have determined that the failure of the Company Board (or a committee thereof) to make such a Company Board Recommendation Change to terminate this Agreement would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law;provided, that each time material modifications to the Intervening Event occur, the Company shall notify Parent of such modification and the time period set forth in the preceding clause (2) shall recommence provided that such time period shall instead be three (3) Business Days from the day of such notification; or

(ii) if the Company has received a written bona fide Acquisition Proposal during theGo-Shop Period or an unsolicited written bona fide Acquisition Proposal after the expiration of theGo-Shop Period, that the Company Board has determined in good faith (after consultation with its financial advisors and outside legal counsel) constitutes a Superior Proposal, then the Company Board (or a committee thereof) may (A) effect a Company Board Recommendation Change with respect to such Superior Proposal; and/or (B) cause the Company to terminate this Agreement pursuant toSection 8.1(h); and/or (C) cause the Company to enter into an Alternative Acquisition Agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal substantially concurrently with the termination of this Agreement;provided,however, that the Company Board (or a committee thereof) shall not take any action described in the foregoing clauses (A), (B) or (C) unless:

(2) the Company has complied in all material respects with its obligations pursuant to thisSection 5.3 with respect to such Superior Proposal; and

(4) following such Notice Period, the Company Board (or a committee thereof) (after consultation with its financial advisors and outside legal counsel and taking into account Parent’s proposed revisions to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Financing Letters and any other information provided by Parent) shall have determined that the failure of the Company Board (or a committee thereof) to make such a Company Board Recommendation Change to terminate this Agreement would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law;provided, that each time material modifications to the terms of an Acquisition Proposal determined to be a Superior Proposal are made (it being understood that any change to the financial terms of such proposal shall be deemed a material modification), the Company shall notify Parent of such modification and the time period set forth in the preceding clause (3) shall recommence provided that such time period shall instead be three (3) Business Days from the day of such notification.

(f) Notice. From the expiration of theGo-Shop Period until the earlier to occur of the termination of this Agreement pursuant toArticle VIII and the Effective Time, the Company will as promptly as reasonably practicable (and, in any event, within 36 hours) notify Parent if any Inquiries, offers or proposals that constitute or could reasonably be expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal are received by, anynon-public information is requested from, or any discussions or negotiations are sought to be initiated or continued with, the Company or any of its Representatives.

5.4 No Control of the Other Party’s Business. The Parties acknowledge and agree that the restrictions set forth in this Agreement are not intended to give Parent or Merger Sub, on the one hand, or the Company, on the other hand, directly or indirectly, the right to control or direct the business or operations of the other at any time prior to the Effective Time.

If any Party or any Affiliate thereof receives a request for additional information or documentary material from any Governmental Authority with respect to the Merger pursuant to the HSR Act or any similar request pursuant to any other Antitrust Laws applicable to the Merger, then such Party will make (or cause to be made), as promptly as reasonably practicable and after consultation with the other Parties, an appropriate response in compliance with such request.

Parent and Merger Sub will not, without the prior written consent of the Company, extend or offer or agree to extend any waiting period under the HSR Act or any other Antitrust Law, or enter into any agreement with any Governmental Authority related to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Parties shall coordinate and cooperate fully with each other in exchanging such information and providing such assistance as the other party may reasonably request in connection with the foregoing and in seeking early termination of any applicable waiting periods, including under the HSR Act.

6.3 Proxy Statement and Other Required SEC Filings.

(a) Proxy Statement. As promptly as practical following the date of this Agreement, the Company (with the assistance and cooperation of Parent and Merger Sub as reasonably requested by the Company) shall prepare and file with the SEC a preliminary proxy statement (as amended or supplemented, the “Proxy Statement”) relating to the Company Shareholder Meeting.

(b) Other Required Company Filing. If the Company determines that it is required to file any document other than the Proxy Statement with the SEC in connection with the Merger pursuant to applicable Law (such document, as amended or supplemented, an “Other

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no covenant is made by the Company with respect to any information supplied by Parent or Merger Sub for inclusion or incorporation by reference in the Proxy Statement or any Other Required Company Filing.

Each of the Company, on the one hand, and Parent and Merger Sub, on the other hand, shall furnish all information concerning it and its Affiliates, if applicable, as the other Party may reasonably request in connection with the preparation and filing with the SEC of the Proxy Statement and any Other Required Company Filing. If at any time prior to the Company Shareholder Meeting any information relating to the Company, Parent, Merger Sub or any of their respective Affiliates should be discovered by the Company, on the one hand, or Parent or Merger Sub, on the other hand, that should be set forth in an amendment or supplement to the Proxy Statement or any Other Required Company Filing, as the case may be, so that such filing would not include any misstatement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, then the Party that discovers such information shall promptly notify the other, and an appropriate amendment or supplement to such filing describing such information shall be promptly prepared and filed with the SEC by the appropriate Party and, to the extent required by applicable Law or the SEC or its staff, disseminated to the Company Shareholders.

(d) Consultation Prior to Certain Communications. The Company and its Affiliates, on the one hand, and Parent, Merger Sub and their respective Affiliates, on the other hand, may not communicate in writing with the SEC or its staff with respect to the Proxy Statement or any Other Required Company Filing, as the case may be, without providing the other Party, to the extent practicable, a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such written communication and shall consider in good faith all reasonable additions, deletions or changes suggested thereto by the other Party and its counsel.

(e) Notices. The Company, on the one hand, and Parent and Merger Sub, on the other hand, shall advise the other, promptly after it receives notice thereof, of any receipt of a request by the SEC or its staff for (i) any amendment or revisions to the Proxy Statement or any Other Required Company Filing, as the case may be; (ii) any receipt of comments from the SEC or its staff on the Proxy Statement or any Other Required Company Filing, as the case may be; or (iii) any receipt of a request by the SEC or its staff for additional information in connection therewith.

6.4 Company Shareholder Meeting.

(a) Call of Company Shareholder Meeting. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, the Company will take all action necessary in accordance with the CICL, the Company’s Organizational Documents and the rules and regulations of the NYSE to establish a record date for, duly call, give notice of, convene and hold a meeting of its shareholders (the “Company Shareholder Meeting”) as promptly as reasonably practicable following the mailing of the Proxy Statement to the Company Shareholders for the purpose of obtaining the Requisite Shareholder Approval. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company will not be required to convene and hold the Company Shareholder Meeting at any time prior to the 25th Business Day following the mailing of the Proxy Statement to the Company Shareholders. Subject toSection 5.3, the Company will use reasonable best efforts to solicit proxies to obtain the Requisite Shareholder Approval. In the event that the Company Board makes a Company Board Recommendation Change, the Company will nevertheless submit this Agreement to the Company Shareholders for the purpose of obtaining the Requisite Shareholder Approval unless this Agreement shall have been terminated in accordance with its terms prior to the Company Shareholder Meeting. The Company shall permit Parent and its Representatives to attend the Company Shareholder Meeting.

(b) Adjournment of Company Shareholder Meeting. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, nothing will prevent the Company from postponing or adjourning the Company Shareholder Meeting (i) to allow additional solicitation of votes in order to obtain the Requisite Shareholder Approval; (ii) if there are holders of an insufficient amount of Company Shares present or represented by proxy at the Company Shareholder Meeting to constitute a quorum at the Company Shareholder Meeting (it being understood that the Company may not postpone or adjourn the Company Shareholder Meeting more than two times pursuant to clause (i) or this clause (ii) without the prior written consent of Parent); (iii) if the Company is required to postpone or adjourn the Company Shareholder Meeting by applicable Law or a request from the SEC or its staff; or (iv) if the Company Board (or a committee thereof) has determined in good faith (after consultation with outside legal counsel) that it is reasonably likely to be required under applicable Law to postpone or adjourn the Company Shareholder Meeting in order to give the Company Shareholders sufficient time to evaluate any information or disclosure that the Company has sent to the Company Shareholders or otherwise made available to the Company Shareholders (including in connection with any Company Board Recommendation Change).

6.5 Financing.

(a) No Amendments to Financing Letters. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each of Parent and Merger Sub not permit any replacement, amendment or modification to be made to, or any waiver of any provision or remedy pursuant to, the Debt Financing Letters if such amendment, replacement, modification or waiver would, or would reasonably be expected to, (i) reduce the aggregate amount of the Financing, including by changing the amount of the fees to be paid or the original issue discount of the Financing, unless (A) the Equity Financing is increased by an equivalent amount or (B) the aggregate amount of the Financing would still be sufficient to fund all of the amounts required to be provided by Parent or Merger Sub for the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; (ii) impose new or additional conditions or otherwise expand, amend or modify any of the existing conditions to the receipt of the Financing (solely to the extent such amendment or modification does not have an adverse impact on the Company); (iii) adversely impact the ability of Parent or Merger Sub (or their Affiliates party thereto) or the Company, as applicable, to enforce its rights against the other Parties to the Financing Letters or the definitive agreements with respect thereto; (iv) prevent, impede or materially delay the timely consummation of the Financing or the Closing; or (v) make the funding of the Financing (or satisfaction of the conditions to obtaining the Financing) less likely to occur; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, Parent and Merger Sub, as applicable, may amend or modify (or amend and restate) the Debt Commitment Letter, any fee credit or discount or engagement letters, solely to (X) add lenders, lead arrangers, bookrunners, syndication agents or any Person with similar roles or titles who had not executed the Debt Commitment Letter as of the date of this Agreement, (Y) amend titles, allocations and fee sharing arrangements with respect to the existing and additional lenders, arrangers, bookrunners, agents, managers or similar entities and/or (Z) increase the amount of Debt Financing thereunder. Any reference in this Agreement to (1) the “Financing” will include the financing contemplated by the Debt Financing Letters as amended, replaced or modified; and (2) “Equity Commitment Letter,” “Debt Commitment Letters” or “Financing Letters” will include such documents as amended, replaced or modified.

(b) Taking of Necessary Actions. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each of Parent and Merger Sub will use its respective reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper and advisable to arrange and obtain the Financing on the terms and conditions (including, to the extent required, the full exercise of any market flex provisions) described in the Financing Letters, including using its reasonable best efforts to (i) maintain in effect the Financing Letters in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions thereof until the Merger is consummated and all amounts required to be paid by Parent pursuant toSections 2.8(h),Section 2.9(b) andSection 6.16 have been paid (subject to Parent and Merger Sub’s right to replace, restate, supplement, modify, assign, substitute, waive or amend the Financing Letters as expressly permitted by this Agreement); (ii) negotiate and execute the Debt Financing Documents (in any event no later than the Closing); (iii) satisfy on a timely basis (in any event no later than the Closing) all conditions to funding that are applicable to Parent and Merger Sub in the Debt Commitment Letters and the Debt Financing Documents and in the Equity Commitment Letter; (iv) in the event that the conditions set forth inSection 7.1 andSection 7.2 have been satisfied (or, upon funding, would be satisfied) and conditions to the availability of the Financing have been satisfied or waived (or, with the funding of the Financing, would be concurrently satisfied), consummate the Financing at or prior to the Closing; (v) comply with its obligations pursuant to the Financing Letters; and (vi) enforce its rights pursuant to the Financing Letters. Parent and Merger Sub will fully pay, or cause to be fully paid, all commitment or other fees arising pursuant to the Financing Letters as and when they become due.

(c) Information. Parent shall (i) keep the Company informed in reasonable detail of the status of its efforts to arrange the Financing; and (ii) upon request of the Company, provided the Company with copies of all substantially final drafts and excluded definitive agreements related to the Debt Financing. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Parent and Merger Sub shall give the Company prompt notice (A) of any breach (or threatened breach) or default (or any event or circumstance that, with notice or lapse of time or both, would reasonably be expected to give rise to any material breach or default) by any party to the Financing Letters or definitive agreements related to the Financing; (B) of the receipt by Parent or Merger Sub of any written notice or communication from any Financing Source with respect to any actual or threatened material breach or default, termination or repudiation by any party to the Financing Letters or any definitive agreements related to the Financing of any provisions of the Financing Letters or such definitive agreements; or (C) if for any reason Parent or Merger Sub at any time believes there is a reasonable likelihood that it will not be able to obtain all or any portion of the Financing on the terms, in the manner or from the sources contemplated by the Financing Letters or any definitive agreements related to the Financing. Parent must provide any information reasonably requested by the Company relating to any of the circumstances referred to in the previous sentence as soon as reasonably practical after the date that the Company delivers a written request therefor to Parent. Parent must, and must use reasonable best efforts to cause the Debt Financing Sources to, provide the Company and its Representatives with such access to the Debt Financing Sources as the Company and its Representatives may reasonably request for the purpose of allowing the Company and its Representatives to understand the status of Parent’s efforts to arrange the Financing.

(d) Alternate Debt Financing.

No Party may assign either this Agreement or any of its rights, interests, or obligations hereunder, by operation of Law or otherwise, without the prior written approval of the other Parties, except that Parent will have the right to assign all or any portion of its rights and obligations pursuant to this Agreement from and after the Effective Time (a) in connection with a merger or consolidation involving Parent or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of Parent or the Surviving Company; or (b) to any Debt Financing Source pursuant to the terms of the Debt Financing for purposes of creating a security interest

100

Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement will be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns. No assignment by any Party will relieve such Party of any of its obligations hereunder. Any purported assignment of this Agreement without the consent required by thisSection 9.3 is null and void.

9.4 Confidentiality Agreement. Parent, Merger Sub and the Company hereby acknowledge that Platinum Equity Advisors, LLC and the Company have previously executed a confidentiality letter agreement, dated August 14, 2019 (the “Confidentiality Agreement”), that shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with its terms. Each of Parent, Merger Sub and their respective Representatives shall hold and treat all documents and information concerning the Company and its Subsidiaries furnished or made available to Parent, Merger Sub or their respective Representatives in connection with the Merger in accordance with the Confidentiality Agreement. By executing this Agreement, each of Parent and Merger Sub agree to be bound by and comply with, and to cause their Representatives to be bound by and comply with, the terms and conditions of the Confidentiality Agreement as if they were parties thereto.

9.5 �� Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the documents and instruments and other agreements among the Parties as contemplated by or referred to herein, including the Confidentiality Agreement, the Company Disclosure Letter, the Guarantee and the Financing Letters, constitute the entire agreement among the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Confidentiality Agreement will (a) not be superseded; (b) survive any termination of this Agreement; and (c) continue in full force and effect until the earlier to occur of the Effective Time and the date on which the Confidentiality Agreement expires in accordance with its terms or is validly terminated by the parties thereto.

9.6 Third Party Beneficiaries. Except as set forth inSection 6.10 and thisSection 9.6, the Parties agree that their respective representations, warranties and covenants set forth in this Agreement are solely for the benefit of the other Parties in accordance with and subject to the terms of this Agreement. This Agreement is not intended to, and will not, confer upon any other Person any rights or remedies hereunder, except (a) as set forth in or contemplated bySection 6.10; and (b) from and after the Effective Time, the rights of the holders of Company Shares and Company Equity Awards to receive the merger consideration set forth inArticle II. The provisions ofSection 8.3(f),Section 8.4,Section 9.3,Section 9.8,Section 9.10(b),Section 9.11,Section 9.12 and thisSection 9.6 shall inure to the benefit of the Debt Financing Sources and the Debt Financing Sources Related Parties, each of whom are intended to be third party beneficiaries thereof (it being understood and agreed that the provisions of such Sections will be enforceable by the Debt Financing Sources and the Debt Financing Sources Related Parties).

9.7 Severability. In the event that any provision of this Agreement, or the application thereof, becomes or is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, void or unenforceable, or incapable of being enforced under any applicable Law, the remainder of this

101

Agreement will continue in full force and effect and the application of such provision to other Persons or circumstances will be interpreted so as reasonably to effect the intent of the Parties. The Parties further agree to replace such void or unenforceable provision of this Agreement with a valid and enforceable provision that will achieve, to the extent possible, the economic, business and other purposes of such void or unenforceable provision.

9.8 Remedies.

(a) Remedies Cumulative. Except as otherwise provided herein, any and all remedies herein expressly conferred upon a Party will be deemed cumulative with and not exclusive of any other remedy conferred hereby or by Law or equity upon such Party, and the exercise by a Party of any one remedy will not preclude the exercise of any other remedy. Although the Company may pursue both a grant of specific performance and monetary damages (including the payment of the Parent Termination Fee), under no circumstances will the Company be permitted or entitled to receive both a grant of specific performance that results in the occurrence of the Closing and monetary damages (including any monetary damages in lieu of specific performance and all or any portion of the Parent Termination Fee).

(b) Specific Performance.

(i) The Parties agree that irreparable damage for which monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy would occur in the event that the Parties do not perform the provisions of this Agreement (including any Party failing to take such actions as are required of it hereunder in order to consummate this Agreement) in accordance with its specified terms or otherwise breach such provisions. The Parties acknowledge and agree that (A) the Parties will be entitled, in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at Law or in equity, to an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief to prevent breaches (or threatened breaches) of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof; and (B) the rights and limitations of specific enforcement under this Section 9.8(b) are an integral part of the Merger and without that right, neither the Company nor Parent would have entered into this Agreement.

(ii) NotwithstandingSection 9.8(b)(i), it is acknowledged and agreed that the right of the Company to an injunction, specific performance or other equitable remedy in connection with enforcing Parent’s obligation or the Company’s ability, as a third party beneficiary, to cause the Equity Financing to be funded and to consummate the Merger will be subject to the requirements that (A) all of the conditions set forth inSection 7.1 andSection 7.2 have been satisfied (other than those conditions that by their terms are to be satisfied at the Closing, each of which is capable of being satisfied at the Closing) at the time Closing is required to be consummated pursuant to Section 2.3; (B) the Debt Financing has been funded or will be funded at the Closing on the terms set forth in the Debt Commitment Letter if the Equity Financing is funded at the Closing; (C) Parent and Merger Sub fail to complete the Closing in accordance withSection 2.3; and (D) the Company has irrevocably confirmed in a written notice to Parent that if specific performance is granted and the Equity Financing and Debt Financing are funded, then it would take such actions that are required of it by this Agreement to cause the Closing to occur. In no event will the Company be entitled to enforce or seek to enforce specifically Parent’s obligation or the Company’s ability, as a third party beneficiary, to cause the Equity Financing to be funded or to complete the Merger if the Debt Financing has not been funded (or will not be funded at the Closing if the Equity Financing is funded at the Closing).

102

(iii) The Parties agree not to raise any objections to (A) the granting of an injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief as provided herein to prevent or restrain breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement by the Company, on the one hand, or Parent and Merger Sub, on the other hand; and (B) the specific performance of the terms and provisions of this Agreement as provided herein to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of, or to enforce compliance with, the covenants, obligations and agreements of Parent and Merger Sub pursuant to this Agreement. Any Party seeking an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement will not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with such injunction or enforcement, and each Party irrevocably waives any right that it may have to require the obtaining, furnishing or posting of any such bond or other security.

(iv) None of the Debt Financing Sources or the Debt Financing Sources Related Parties will have any liability to the Company or any of its Affiliates relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the Debt Financing (other than under the Debt Financing Documents upon the Closing), or otherwise, whether at Law or equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise, based on, in respect of, or by reason of, the transactions contemplated hereby, including any dispute arising out of or relating in any way to the Debt Commitment Letter or any other Debt Financing Document or the performance thereof, or in respect of any oral representations made or alleged to be made in connection herewith or therewith, and neither the Company nor any of its Affiliates will have any rights or claims, and shall not seek any loss or damage or any other recovery or judgment of any kind, against any of the Debt Financing Sources or the Debt Financing Sources Related Parties hereunder or thereunder.

9.9 Governing Law. This Agreement and all actions, proceedings or counterclaims (whether based on contract, tort or otherwise) arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the actions of Parent, Merger Sub or the Company in the negotiation, administration, performance and enforcement thereof, shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with the Laws of the State of Delaware, including its statute of limitations, without giving effect to any choice or conflict of Laws (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. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following matters arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be construed, performed and enforced in accordance with the Laws of the Cayman Islands: the Merger, the vesting of the rights, property, choses in action, business, undertaking, goodwill, benefits, immunities and privileges, contracts, obligations, claims, debts and liabilities of Merger Sub in the Company, the cancellation of the shares, the rights provided in Section 238 of the CICL, the fiduciary or other duties of the Company Board and the boards of directors of Parent and Merger Sub and the internal corporate affairs of the Company and Merger Sub.

103

9.10 Consent to Jurisdiction.

(a) General Jurisdiction. Each of the Parties (a) irrevocably consents to the service of the summons and complaint and any other process (whether inside or outside the territorial jurisdiction of the Chosen Courts) in any Legal Proceeding relating to the Merger and the Guarantee, for and on behalf of itself or any of its properties or assets, in accordance withSection 9.2 or in such other manner as may be permitted by applicable Law, and nothing in thisSection 9.10 will affect the right of any Party to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by applicable Law; (b) irrevocably and unconditionally consents and submits itself and its properties and assets in any Legal Proceeding to the exclusive general jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware and any state appellate court therefrom within the State of Delaware (or, if the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware declines to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, any state or federal court within the State of Delaware) (the “Chosen Courts”) in the event that any dispute or controversy arises out of this Agreement, the Guarantee or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby; (c) agrees that it shall not attempt to deny or defeat such personal jurisdiction by motion or other request for leave from any such court; (d) agrees that any Legal Proceeding arising in connection with this Agreement, the Guarantee or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be brought, tried and determined only in the Chosen Courts; (e) waives any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the venue of any such Legal Proceeding in the Chosen Courts or that such Legal Proceeding was brought in an inconvenient court and agrees not to plead or claim the same; and (f) agrees that it shall not bring any Legal Proceeding relating to this Agreement, the Guarantee or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby in any court other than the Chosen Courts. Each of Parent, Merger Sub and the Company agrees that a final judgment in any Legal Proceeding in the Chosen Courts will be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by applicable Law.

(b) Jurisdiction for Debt Financing Sources. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Parties acknowledge and irrevocably agree (i) that any Legal Proceeding, whether in Law or in equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise, involving the Debt Financing Sources arising out of, or relating to, the Merger, the Debt Financing or the performance of services thereunder or related thereto will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of any state or federal court sitting in the State of New York in the borough of Manhattan and any appellate court thereof, and each Party submits for itself and its property with respect to any such Legal Proceeding to the exclusive jurisdiction of such court; (ii) not to bring or permit any of their Affiliates to bring or support anyone else in bringing any such Legal Proceeding in any other court; (iii) that service of process, summons, notice or document by registered mail addressed to them at their respective addresses provided in any applicable Debt Commitment Letter will be effective service of process against them for any such Legal Proceeding brought in any such court; (iv) to waive and hereby waive, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, any objection which any of them may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of, and the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of, any such Legal Proceeding in any such court; and (v) any such Legal Proceeding will be governed and construed in accordance with the Laws of the State of New York.

9.11 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY THAT MAY ARISE PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT THAT SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING (WHETHER FOR BREACH OF CONTRACT, TORTIOUS CONDUCT OR OTHERWISE) DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE MERGER, THE GUARANTEE, THE

104

FINANCING LETTERS OR THE FINANCING (INCLUDING ANY SUCH LEGAL PROCEEDING INVOLVING FINANCING SOURCES).

In no event shall the Company or any of its Affiliates or other Company Related Parties, and the Company agrees not to and to cause its controlled Affiliates, directors and officers and to direct its other Company Related Parties not to, seek to enforce this Agreement against, make any claims for breach of this Agreement against, or seek to recover monetary damages from, any Parent Related Party not a party to this Agreement (other than to the extent expressly permitted by, and subject to the limitations of, the Guarantee and the Equity Commitment Letter). In no event shall Parent or any of its Affiliates or other Parent Related Parties (including Guarantor), and Parent agrees not to and to cause its Affiliates, directors and officers and to direct its other Parent Related Parties not to, seek to enforce this Agreement against, make any claims for breach of this Agreement against, or seek to recover monetary damages from, any Company Related Party (including, for the avoidance of doubt, Canyon Holdings and its directors, officers, managers and direct or indirect partners (whether general or limited) and equityholders) not a party to this Agreement (other than to the extent expressly permitted by, and subject to the limitations of, the Voting Agreement).

105

9.14 Counterparts. This Agreement and any amendments hereto may be executed in one or more counterparts, all of which will be considered one and the same agreement and will become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the Parties and delivered to the other Parties, it being understood that all Parties need not sign the same counterpart. Any such counterpart, to the extent delivered by fax or .pdf, .tif, .gif, .jpg or similar attachment to electronic mail (any such delivery, an “Electronic Delivery”), will be treated in all manner and respects as an original executed counterpart and will be considered to have the same binding legal effect as if it were the original signed version thereof delivered in person. No Party may raise the use of an Electronic Delivery to deliver a signature, or the fact that any signature or agreement or instrument was transmitted or communicated through the use of an Electronic Delivery, as a defense to the formation of a contract, and each Party forever waives any such defense, except to the extent such defense relates to lack of authenticity.
