AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER

THIS AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER (“Agreement”) is made and entered into as of July 10, 2022, by and among INNOVIVA, INC., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”); INNOVIVA ACQUISITION SUB, INC., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Purchaser”); and LA JOLLA PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANY, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”). Certain capitalized terms used in this Agreement are defined in Exhibit A.

RECITALS

A. Parent has agreed to cause Purchaser to commence a tender offer (as it may be amended from time to time as permitted under this Agreement, the “Offer”) to acquire all of the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock (the “Shares”) other than the shares of Company Common Stock and the shares Series C Preferred Stock to be cancelled pursuant to Section 1.8(a) (collectively, the “Excluded Shares”) for the Cash Consideration, net to the seller in cash for each such share, without interest (the “Offer Price”), upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement.

B. As soon as practicable following the consummation of the Offer, Purchaser will, in accordance with Section 251(h) of the DGCL, be merged with and into the Company (the “Merger”), with the Company continuing as the surviving corporation in the Merger (the “Surviving Corporation”), on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, whereby (i) each issued and outstanding Share not owned by Parent, Purchaser or the Company as of the Effective Time (other than Excluded Shares and Dissenting Common Shares) shall be converted into the right to receive the Offer Price, in cash, without interest, (ii) each issued and outstanding share of Series C Preferred Stock not owned by Parent, Purchaser or the Company as of the Effective Time (other than Excluded Shares and Dissenting Preferred Shares) shall be converted into the right to receive 1,724.04 times the Offer Price, in cash, without interest, and (iii) the Company shall become a wholly owned Subsidiary of Parent as a result of the Merger.

C. The respective boards of directors of Parent, Purchaser and the Company have approved the Offer, the Merger and adopted this Agreement.

D. The Merger shall be governed by and effected under Section 251(h) of the DGCL and shall be effected as soon as practicable following the consummation of the Offer upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement.

E. In order to induce Parent to enter into this Agreement and cause the Merger to be consummated, certain stockholders of the Company are executing support agreements in favor of Parent (the “Support Agreements”) concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, pursuant to which each such stockholder has agreed, among other things, to tender the Shares held by such Person in the Offer.

AGREEMENT

The parties to this Agreement, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:

SECTION 1 DESCRIPTION OF TRANSACTION

1.1 The Offer.

(a) Provided that this Agreement shall not have been terminated in accordance with Section 7, as promptly as reasonably practicable, and in any event no later than July 25, 2022 (subject to the Company having timely provided any information required to be provided by it pursuant to Section 1.2), Purchaser shall, and Parent shall cause Purchaser to, commence (within the meaning of Rule 14d-2 under the Exchange Act) the Offer. The obligations of Purchaser, and of Parent to cause Purchaser, to accept for payment and pay for any Shares tendered pursuant to the Offer shall be subject to (i) the satisfaction of the Minimum Condition (as defined in Exhibit D hereto) and (ii) the satisfaction or waiver by Purchaser of each of the other conditions set forth in Exhibit D hereto (together with the Minimum Condition, the “Offer Conditions”). The obligation of Purchaser to accept for payment shares of the Shares (other than Excluded Shares) validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) pursuant to the Offer shall be subject only to the satisfaction or waiver of each of the Offer Conditions (and shall not be subject to any other conditions). Purchaser expressly reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to (A) increase the Offer Price by increasing the Cash Consideration, (B) waive any Offer Condition or (C) amend, modify or supplement any of the other terms or conditions of the Offer prior to the Acceptance Time to the extent not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement, except that, unless otherwise provided by this Agreement, without the consent of the Company, Purchaser shall not (1) reduce the Offer Price or increase the Offer Price by an increment of less than $0.25 per share, (2) change the form of consideration payable in the Offer, (3) reduce the number of Shares sought to be purchased in the Offer, (4) waive, amend or change the Minimum Condition or the condition set forth in clause (g) of Exhibit D, (5) add to the Offer Conditions, (6) extend the expiration of the Offer except as required or permitted by Section 1.1(b), (7) provide for any “subsequent offering period” within the meaning of Rule 14d-11 promulgated under the Exchange Act or (8) amend, modify or supplement any Offer Condition or any term of the Offer set forth in this Agreement in a manner adverse to the holders of Shares or that would, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to prevent or materially delay or impair the consummation of the Offer or prevent, materially delay or impair the ability of Parent or Purchaser to consummate the Offer, the Merger or the other Contemplated Transactions.

(b) The Offer shall initially be scheduled to expire at midnight (New York City time) on the date that is 20 Business Days (for this purpose calculated in accordance with Rule 14d-1(g)(3) under the Exchange Act) after the commencement of the Offer (the “Initial Expiration Time”) or, in the event the Initial Expiration Time has been extended pursuant to and in accordance with this Agreement, the date and time to which the Offer has been so extended (the Initial Expiration Time, or such later time to which the Initial Expiration Time has been so extended, the “Expiration Time”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, but subject to the parties’ respective termination rights under Section 7: (i) if, as of the then-scheduled Expiration Time, any Offer Condition is not satisfied (unless such

condition is waivable by Purchaser or Parent and has been waived), Purchaser may, in its discretion (and without the consent of the Company or any other Person), extend the Offer for additional periods of up to 10 Business Days per extension, to permit such Offer Condition to be satisfied; and (ii) if, as of the then-scheduled Expiration Time, any Offer Condition is not satisfied (unless such condition is waivable by Purchaser or Parent and has been waived), at the request of the Company, Purchaser shall, and Parent shall cause Purchaser to, extend the Offer for additional periods specified by the Company of up to 10 Business Days per extension (or such other period as the parties may agree), to permit such Offer Condition to be satisfied; provided, however, that in no event shall Parent or Purchaser (1) be required to extend the Offer beyond the earlier to occur of (x) the valid termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 7 and (y) the End Date (such earlier occurrence, the “Extension Deadline”) or (2) be permitted to extend the Offer beyond the Extension Deadline without the prior written consent of the Company.

(c) Subject to the terms of the Offer and this Agreement and the satisfaction of all of the Offer Conditions, Purchaser will accept for payment (the date and time of such acceptance, the “Acceptance Time”) and thereafter pay for all Shares validly tendered and not validly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer as soon as practicable after the later of (i) the earliest time as of which Purchaser is permitted under the Exchange Act to accept for payment shares of Company Common Stock validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) pursuant to the Offer and (ii) the earliest time as of which each of the Offer Conditions shall have been satisfied or waived. On the terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer and this Agreement, Purchaser shall promptly after the Acceptance Time pay, or cause the Paying Agent to pay, for all shares of Company Common Stock validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) in the Offer.

(d) Parent and Purchaser shall promptly supply to the Company in writing, for inclusion in the Schedule 14D-9, all information concerning Parent and Purchaser required under applicable U.S. federal securities laws to be included in the Schedule 14D-9.

(e) Parent shall deposit, or shall cause to be deposited, on behalf of Purchaser, with the Paying Agent, at or prior to the Acceptance Time (but in no event later than the Business Day during which the Acceptance Time occurs), all of the funds necessary to purchase any and all shares of Company Common Stock that Purchaser becomes obligated to purchase pursuant to the Offer. Unless this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 7.1, Purchaser shall not terminate or withdraw the Offer prior to any scheduled Expiration Time without the prior written consent of the Company in its sole and absolute discretion. In the event this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 7.1, Purchaser shall promptly (and in any event within one Business Day) following such termination terminate the Offer and shall not acquire any shares of Company Common Stock pursuant thereto. If the Offer is terminated in accordance with this Agreement prior to the Acceptance Time, Purchaser shall promptly return, or cause any depositary acting on behalf of Purchaser to return, all tendered shares of Company Common Stock to the tendering stockholders.

1.2 Offer Documents. On the date of commencement of the Offer, Parent and Purchaser shall: (a) file a Schedule TO (together with all exhibits, amendments and supplements thereto, the “Schedule TO”) with respect to the Offer, which shall contain or shall incorporate by reference an offer to purchase and forms of the related letter of transmittal and form of summary advertisement (the Schedule TO, the Offer and such other documents, together with all exhibits, amendments and supplements thereto, the “Offer Documents”), and (b) cause the Offer Documents to be disseminated to holders of the Shares, in each case as and to the extent required by applicable federal securities law. Parent and Purchaser shall cause the Offer Documents (i) to comply as to form in all material respects with the requirements of applicable U.S. federal securities laws and (ii) on the date first filed with the SEC and on the date first published, sent or given to the holders of shares of Company Common Stock, not to contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, except that no covenant is made by Parent or Purchaser with respect to information supplied by or on behalf of the Company in writing specifically for inclusion in the Offer Documents. The Company shall promptly supply Parent and Purchaser in writing, for inclusion in the Offer Documents, all information concerning the Company, the Company’s Subsidiaries or the Company’s stockholders that may be required under the Exchange Act to be included in the Offer Documents. Each of Parent, Purchaser and the Company agrees promptly to correct any information provided by them for use in the Offer Documents if and to the extent it shall have obtained knowledge that such information shall have become false or misleading in any material respect, and each of Parent and Purchaser further agrees to take all steps necessary to cause the Offer Documents as so corrected to be filed with the SEC and to be disseminated to the holders of Shares, in each case as and to the extent required by applicable federal securities law. The Company and its counsel shall be given a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on the Offer Documents and any amendments thereto prior to the filing thereof with the SEC and Parent shall give due consideration to all reasonable additions, deletions or changes suggested thereto by the Company and its counsel. In addition, Parent agrees to provide the Company and its counsel any comments, whether written or oral, that Parent may receive from the SEC or its staff with respect to the Offer Documents promptly after the receipt of such comments, and any written or oral responses thereto. The Company and its counsel shall be given a reasonable opportunity to review and comment upon such responses and Parent shall give due consideration to all reasonable additions, deletions or changes suggested thereto by the Company and its counsel. Parent and Purchaser shall use reasonable best efforts to respond to any such comments promptly after they are received.

1.3 Company Actions.

(a) The Company hereby consents to the Offer and, subject to Sections 4.4 and 5.1, to the inclusion in the Offer Documents of the recommendation of the Company Board described in Section 2.22.

(b) As promptly as reasonably practicable on the date of filing by Parent and Purchaser of the Offer Documents, the Company shall file with the SEC a Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9 (such Schedule 14D-9, together with all exhibits, amendments and supplements thereto, the “Schedule 14D-9”), which shall reflect that the Merger is governed by Section 251(h) of the DGCL and shall, subject to Sections 4.4 and 5.1, contain the recommendation of the Company Board described in Section 2.22 and the notice and other information required by Section 262(d)(2) of the DGCL. The Schedule 14D-9 shall include as an exhibit an Information Statement pursuant to Section 14(f) of the Exchange Act and Rule 14f-l promulgated thereunder. The Company shall cause the Schedule

14D-9 to be disseminated to the holders of Shares, as and to the extent required by applicable federal securities law. The Company shall cause the Schedule 14D-9 (i) to comply as to form in all material respects with the requirements of applicable U.S. federal securities laws and (ii) on the date first filed with the SEC and on the date first published, sent or given to the holders of shares of Company Common Stock, not to contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, except that no covenant is made by the Company with respect to information supplied by or on behalf of Parent or Purchaser in writing specifically for inclusion in the Schedule 14D-9. Each of the Company, Parent and Purchaser agrees promptly to correct any information provided by it for use in the Schedule 14D-9 if and to the extent it shall have obtained knowledge that such information shall have become false or misleading in any material respect, and the Company further agrees to take all steps necessary to cause the Schedule 14D-9 as so corrected to be filed with the SEC and to be disseminated to the holders of Shares, in each case, as and to the extent required by applicable federal securities law. Parent, Purchaser and their counsel shall be given a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on the Schedule 14D-9 and any amendments thereto prior to the filing thereof with the SEC and the Company shall give due consideration to all reasonable additions, deletions or changes suggested thereto by Parent, Purchaser and their counsel. In addition, the Company agrees to provide Parent, Purchaser and their counsel any comments, whether written or oral, that the Company or its counsel may receive from the SEC or its staff with respect to the Schedule 14D-9 promptly after the receipt of such comments, and any written or oral responses thereto. Parent, Purchaser and their counsel shall be given a reasonable opportunity to review and comment upon such responses and the Company shall give due consideration to all reasonable additions, deletions or changes suggested thereto by Parent, Purchaser and their counsel. The Company shall use reasonable best efforts to respond to any such comments promptly after they are received.

In connection with the Offer, the Company shall instruct its transfer agent to, and use commercially reasonable efforts to cause its transfer agent to, promptly furnish Parent and Purchaser with mailing labels, security position listings, any non-objecting beneficial owner lists and any available listings or computer files containing the names and addresses of the record holders of Shares as of the most recent practicable date and shall furnish Parent and Purchaser with such additional available information (including, but not limited to, periodic updates of such information) and such other assistance as Parent, Purchaser or their agents may reasonably request in communicating the Offer to the record and beneficial holders of Shares. Subject to the requirements of applicable laws and except for such steps as are necessary to disseminate the Offer Documents and any other documents necessary to consummate the Offer, the Merger and the Contemplated Transactions, Parent and Purchaser shall, until consummation of the Offer, hold in confidence the information contained in any of such labels and lists in accordance with the Confidentiality Agreement, shall use such information only in connection with the Offer, the Merger or the other Contemplated Transactions and, if this Agreement shall be terminated in accordance with Section 7.1, shall destroy all electronic copies of such information and destroy or deliver to the Company all other copies of such information then in their possession or under their control.

1.4 Merger of Purchaser into the Company. Following the completion of the Offer, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, at the Effective Time, Purchaser shall be merged with and into the Company.

The Merger shall become effective at the time of the filing of such certificate of merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware or at such later time as may be designated jointly by Parent and the Company and specified in such certificate of merger (the time as of which the Merger becomes effective being referred to as the “Effective Time”).

1.7 Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws; Directors and Officers.

(a) The Certificate of Incorporation of the Surviving Corporation shall be amended and restated immediately after the Effective Time to read as set forth on Exhibit B, and as so amended and restated, shall be the certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter amended in accordance with the terms thereof and applicable law;

(b) The Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation shall be amended and restated immediately after the Effective Time to read as set forth on Exhibit C, until thereafter amended in accordance with the terms thereof, the certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation and applicable law; and

(c) The directors and officers of the Surviving Corporation, from and after the Effective Time shall be the respective individuals who are directors and officers of Purchaser immediately prior to the Effective Time, and such directors and officers shall hold such office in accordance with the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Surviving Corporation as in effect from and after the Effective Time.

1.8 Conversion of Shares.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, at the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any further action on the part of Parent, Purchaser, the Company or any stockholder of the Company:

(i) any shares of Company Common Stock and Company Preferred Stock held by the Company or any wholly-owned Subsidiary of the Company as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (or held in the Company’s treasury) shall be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist, and no consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor;

(ii) any shares of Company Common Stock and Company Preferred Stock held by Parent, Purchaser or any other wholly-owned Subsidiary of Parent as of immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist, and no consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor;

(iii) except as provided in clauses “(i)” and “(ii)” above: (A) each share of Company Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than any Dissenting Common Shares) shall be converted into the right to receive the Offer Price, and (B) each share of Series C Preferred Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than any Dissenting Preferred Shares) shall be converted into the right to receive a cash sum equal to 1,724.04 times the Offer Price (the “Preferred Stock Merger Consideration”); and

(iv) each share of the common stock, $0.01 par value per share, of Purchaser outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into one share of common stock of the Surviving Corporation.

(b) If, during the period from the date of this Agreement through the Effective Time, the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock are changed into a different number or class of shares by reason of any stock split, division or subdivision of shares, stock dividend, reverse stock split, consolidation of shares, reclassification, recapitalization or other similar transaction, or if a stock dividend is declared by the Company and a record date with respect to any such event shall occur during such period, then the Offer Price shall be adjusted to the extent appropriate to provide the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such action; provided that nothing in this Section 1.8(b) shall be deemed to permit or authorize any party hereto to effect any such change that it is not otherwise authorized or permitted to undertake pursuant to this Agreement.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, all shares of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and held by a stockholder of the Company who (A) is entitled to and has demanded appraisal for such shares in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL, (B) has properly complied with Section 262 of the DGCL, and (C) has not effectively withdrawn or lost its rights to appraisal (“Dissenting Common Shares”) shall not be converted into, or represent the right to receive, the Offer Price pursuant to this Section 1.8. By virtue of the Merger, all Dissenting

Common Shares shall be cancelled and shall cease to exist and shall represent the right to receive only those rights provided under Section 262 of the DGCL; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, all Dissenting Common Shares held by a stockholder of the Company who shall have failed to perfect, effectively withdrawn or lost or been deemed by a court of competent jurisdiction to not be entitled to such stockholder’s right to appraisal under such Section 262 of the DGCL shall thereupon be deemed to have been converted into, and to have become exchangeable for, the right to receive the Offer Price pursuant to Section 1.8(a), without any interest thereon, upon surrender of the Common Stock Certificate(s) or non-certificated shares of Company Common Stock represented by book entry (“Common Book Entry Shares”) that formerly evidenced such shares of Company Common Stock in the manner set forth in Section 1.10. The Company shall give Parent (i) prompt notice of, together with copies of, any demand received by the Company for payment of the fair value of any Company Common Stock, withdrawals of such demands, and any other instruments received by the Company as part of any such demand for dissenter’s rights and (ii) the opportunity to participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to demands for dissenter’s rights under Delaware law in respect of Dissenting Common Shares. The Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of Parent, voluntarily make any payment with respect to any demands for appraisal rights or settle or offer to settle or compromise any such demands for payment in respect of Dissenting Common Shares.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, all shares of Series C Preferred Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and held by a stockholder of the Company who (A) is entitled to and has demanded appraisal for such shares in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL, (B) has properly complied with Section 262 of the DGCL, and (C) has not effectively withdrawn or lost its rights to appraisal (“Dissenting Preferred Shares”) shall not be converted into, or represent the right to receive, the Preferred Stock Merger Consideration pursuant to this Section 1.8. By virtue of the Merger, all Dissenting Preferred Shares shall be cancelled and shall cease to exist and shall represent the right to receive only those rights provided under Section 262 of the DGCL; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, all Dissenting Preferred Shares held by a stockholder of the Company who shall have failed to perfect, effectively withdrawn or lost or been deemed by a court of competent jurisdiction to not be entitled to such stockholder’s right to appraisal under such Section 262 of the DGCL shall thereupon be deemed to have been converted into, and to have become exchangeable for, the right to receive the Preferred Stock Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 1.8(a), without any interest thereon, upon surrender of the Preferred Stock Certificate(s) or non-certificated shares of Series C Preferred Stock represented by book entry (the “Preferred Book Entry Shares” and, together with the Common Book Entry Shares, the “Book Entry Shares”) that formerly evidenced such shares of Series C Preferred Stock in the manner set forth in Section 1.10. The Company shall give Parent (i) prompt notice of, together with copies of, any demand received by the Company for payment of the fair value of any Series C Preferred Stock, withdrawals of such demands, and any other instruments received by the Company as part of any such demand for dissenter’s rights and (ii) the opportunity to participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to demands for dissenter’s rights under Delaware law in respect of Dissenting Preferred Shares. The Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of Parent, voluntarily make any payment with respect to any demands for appraisal rights or settle or offer to settle or compromise any such demands for payment in respect of Dissenting Preferred Shares.

1.9 Closing of the Company’s Transfer Books. At the Effective Time: (a) except as provided in Section 1.8(a)(i) or Section 1.8(a)(ii), all shares of Company Common Stock and Series C Preferred Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall automatically be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist, and all holders of Book Entry Shares or of certificates representing shares of Company Common Stock or Series C Preferred Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall cease to have any rights as stockholders of the Company, except the right to receive the Offer Price or the Preferred Stock Merger Consideration (as applicable), as contemplated by Section 1.8; and (b) the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed with respect to all shares of Company Common Stock and Series C Preferred Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. No further transfer of any such shares of Company Common Stock or Series C Preferred Stock shall be made on such stock transfer books after the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, a valid certificate previously representing any shares of Company Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (a “Common Stock Certificate”) or valid certificate previously representing any shares of Series C Preferred Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (a “Preferred Stock Certificate” and, together with a Common Stock Certificate, a “Company Stock Certificate”) or a Book Entry Share is presented to the Paying Agent or to the Surviving Corporation or Parent, such Company Stock Certificate or Book Entry Share shall be canceled and shall be exchanged as provided in Section 1.10.

1.10 Exchange of Certificates.

(a) Prior to the Closing, Parent shall select a reputable bank or trust company reasonably satisfactory to the Company to act as paying agent in the Merger (the “Paying Agent”) and shall enter into an agreement reasonably acceptable to the Company with the Paying Agent relating to the services to be performed by the Paying Agent. At the Closing, Parent shall cause to be deposited with the Paying Agent cash sufficient to make payments of the Cash Consideration and the Preferred Stock Merger Consideration in accordance with Section 1.8(a)(iii). The cash amount so deposited with the Paying Agent is referred to as the “Payment Fund.”

(b) Promptly after the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Paying Agent to mail to the Persons who were record holders of Company Stock Certificates or Book Entry Shares immediately prior to the Effective Time whose shares were converted into the right to receive the Offer Price and the Preferred Stock Merger Consideration, as applicable, in accordance with Section 1.8(a)(iii): (i) a letter of transmittal in customary form and containing such provisions as Parent may reasonably specify and the Company shall reasonably approve prior to the Effective Time (including a provision confirming that delivery of Company Stock Certificates or Book Entry Shares shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to Company Stock Certificates or Book Entry Shares shall pass, only upon delivery of such Company Stock Certificates or Book Entry Shares to the Paying Agent); and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of Company Stock Certificates or Book Entry Shares in exchange for the Offer Price or the Preferred Stock Merger Consideration, as applicable.

No interest shall be paid or accrued on the Offer Price or the Preferred Stock Merger Consideration (as applicable) payable to holders of Book Entry Shares or Company Stock Certificates. If any Offer Price or the Preferred Stock Merger Consideration (as applicable) is to be paid to a Person other than a Person in whose name the Book Entry Share or Company Stock Certificate surrendered in exchange therefor is registered, it shall be a condition of such exchange that the Person requesting such exchange shall pay to the Paying Agent any transfer or other Taxes required by reason of payment of the Offer Price or the Preferred Stock Merger Consideration, as applicable, to a Person other than the registered holder of the Book Entry Share or Company Stock Certificate surrendered, or shall establish to the reasonable satisfaction of the Paying Agent that such Tax has been paid or is not applicable. If any Company Stock Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, Parent may, in its reasonable discretion and as a condition to the payment of the Offer Price or the Preferred Stock Merger Consideration, as applicable, require the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed Company Stock Certificate to provide an appropriate affidavit and to deliver a reasonable and customary indemnification obligation against any claim that may be made against the Paying Agent, Parent or the Surviving Corporation with respect to such Company Stock Certificate.

(c) The Payment Fund shall be invested by the Paying Agent as directed by Parent, or after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation; provided that any such investments shall be in securities issued or directly and fully guaranteed or insured as to principal and interest by the United States government or any agency or instrumentality thereof and having maturities of not more than one month from the date of investment. Earnings on the Payment Fund shall be the sole and exclusive property of the Surviving Corporation and shall be paid to the Surviving Corporation. No investment of the Payment Fund shall relieve any of Parent, the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent from making the payments required by Section 1.8, and following any losses from any such investment, Parent shall promptly provide, or shall cause to be promptly provided, additional funds to the Paying Agent for the benefit of the holders of the Company Common Stock or the Series C Preferred Stock, as applicable, at the Effective Time in the amount of such losses, which additional funds shall be deemed to be part of the Payment Fund.

(d) The Offer Price and Preferred Stock Merger Consideration paid upon the surrender of Company Stock Certificates or transfer of Book Entry Shares, as applicable, in accordance with the terms hereof shall be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to the Company Common Stock or Series C Preferred Stock, as applicable formerly represented by such Company Stock Certificates or Book Entry Shares, as applicable, and from and after the Effective Time, there shall be no further registration of transfers of the Company Common Stock or the Series C Preferred Stock, as applicable, on the stock transfer books of the Surviving Corporation. If, after the Effective Time, the Company Stock Certificates or Book Entry Shares are presented to the Surviving Corporation, they shall be cancelled and exchanged for the Offer Price and Preferred Stock Merger Consideration, as applicable, provided for, and in accordance with the procedures set forth, in this Section 1.10.

(e) Any portion of the Payment Fund (including the proceeds of any investments thereof) that remains undistributed to holders of Company Stock Certificates and Book Entry Shares as of the date that is one year after the date on which the Merger becomes effective shall be delivered to Parent upon demand, and any holders of Company Stock Certificates or Book Entry Shares who have not theretofore surrendered their Company Stock Certificates or Book Entry Shares in accordance with this Section 1.10 shall thereafter look only to Parent for, and be entitled to receive from Parent, satisfaction of their claims for payment of the Offer Price or the Preferred Stock Merger Consideration, as applicable (subject to abandoned property, escheat or other similar laws), without interest.

(f) Neither Parent nor the Surviving Corporation shall be liable to any holder or former holder of Company Common Stock or Series C Preferred Stock or to any other Person with respect to the Offer Price or the Preferred Stock Merger Consideration, as applicable, or for any cash amounts, delivered to any public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property law, escheat law or other Legal Requirement. If any Company Stock Certificate or Book Entry Share shall not have been surrendered prior to the date on which the Offer Price or Preferred Stock Merger Consideration in respect thereof would otherwise escheat to or become the property of any Governmental Body, any such Offer Price or Preferred Stock Merger Consideration in respect of such Company Stock Certificate or Book Entry Share shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, become the property of the Surviving Corporation, and any holder of such Company Stock Certificate or Book Entry Share who has not theretofore complied with this Section 1.10 with respect thereto shall thereafter look only to the Surviving Corporation for payment of its claim for the Offer Price or Preferred Stock Merger Consideration, as applicable, in respect thereof.

To the extent that amounts are so withheld and remitted to the appropriate Governmental Body in accordance with applicable Legal Requirements, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of whom such deduction and withholding was made.

1.12 Further Action.

4.4 No Solicitation.

(a) For the purposes of this Agreement, “Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement” means a customary confidentiality agreement that (i) contains provisions as to confidentiality and standstill provisions that are not less favorable to the Company in the aggregate than those contained in the form of confidentiality agreement attached hereto as Exhibit E and (ii) does not prohibit the Company from providing any information to Parent in accordance with this Section 4.4 or Section 5.1(b) or Section 5.1(c) or otherwise prohibit the Company from complying with its obligations under this Section 4.4 or Section 5.1(b) or Section 5.1(c).

(b) The Company shall (and shall cause the other Target Companies to) and shall direct their respective Representatives to immediately cease any solicitation, discussions or negotiations with any Persons that may be ongoing as of the date of this Agreement with respect to an Acquisition Proposal and take such action as is reasonably necessary to enforce (x) any confidentiality provisions or provisions of similar effect to which the Target Companies are a beneficiary and (y) the provisions of any standstill agreement or similar agreement. Except as permitted by this Section 4.4 or Section 5.1, until the Specified Time, the Company shall not, and shall cause each other Target Company and cause its and their Representatives not to, directly or indirectly, (i) solicit, initiate or knowingly facilitate or knowingly encourage any inquiries or the making of any proposal or offer that constitutes, or would reasonably be expected to lead to, an Acquisition Proposal, (ii) engage in, continue or otherwise participate in any discussions or negotiations regarding, or furnish to any other Person any non-public information in connection with an Acquisition Proposal or any proposal or offer that would reasonably be expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal, (iii) adopt any resolution for the purpose of exempting any Person (other than Parent and its Subsidiaries) from the restriction on “business combinations” or any similar provision contained in applicable Anti-Takeover Law or the Company’s organizational or other governing documents, (iv) approve, endorse, recommend or enter into any agreement in principle, letter of intent, merger agreement, acquisition agreement or other similar agreement relating to any Acquisition Proposal or (v) resolve to propose, agree or publicly announce an intention to do any of the foregoing.

(d) Notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement to the contrary, if at any time on or after the date hereof and prior to the Specified Time, any Target Company or any of its Representatives receives a bona fide unsolicited written Acquisition Proposal from any Person or group of Persons, which Acquisition Proposal was made on or after the date hereof (and has not been withdrawn) and did not result from any material breach of Section 5.1(b) or 5.1(c) or Section 4.4(b), if the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with its

financial advisors and outside legal counsel, that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes or could reasonably be expected to lead to a Superior Offer and, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that failure to take such action would be inconsistent with the fiduciary duties of the Company Board to the Company’s stockholders under applicable Legal Requirements, then the Company and its Representatives may (x) furnish, pursuant to (but only pursuant to) an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement, information (including non-public information) to the Person or group of Persons who has made such Acquisition Proposal (provided that the Company shall provide to Parent, (A) prior to taking any of the above actions with such other Person, written notice setting forth the Company’s intention to furnish non-public information and (B) substantially concurrently with providing access to any such other Person, any such non-public information that is provided to any Person given such access which was not previously made available to Parent or its Representatives), and (y) engage in, continue (subject to Section 4.4(c)) or otherwise participate in discussions or negotiations (including the solicitation of revised Acquisition Proposals) (and waive such Person’s noncompliance with provisions of any “standstill” agreement to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to permit such discussions) with the Person or group of Persons making such Acquisition Proposal and its or their Representatives.

(e) The Company shall (i) promptly (and in any event within one Business Day) notify Parent orally and in writing of any Acquisition Proposal that is received by any Target Company or any of its Representatives, (ii) provide to Parent the identity of the Person making or submitting such Acquisition Proposal, a copy of any written Acquisition Proposal (and any other written material provided by such Person with respect to such Acquisition Proposal to the extent setting forth a material clarification to the material terms and conditions thereof) from such Person and a summary of the material terms and conditions of any such Acquisition Proposal that is presented orally, and (iii) keep Parent reasonably informed with respect to the status of and any material developments regarding any such Acquisition Proposal on a reasonably prompt basis, including by providing reasonably prompt (and in any event within one Business Day) notice of all material amendments or modifications thereto and a copy of any final definitive agreement in respect of such Acquisition Proposal the Company would be prepared to execute, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. The Company agrees that it and its Subsidiaries will not enter into any confidentiality agreement with any Person subsequent to the date of this Agreement which prohibits the Company from providing any information to Parent in accordance with this Section 4.4.

(f) Nothing in this Section 4.4 or elsewhere in this Agreement shall prohibit the Company from (i) taking and disclosing to the stockholders of the Company a position in compliance with Rule 14e-2(a), Rule 14d-9 or Item 1012(a) of Regulation M-A promulgated under the Exchange Act, (ii) making any disclosure to the Company’s stockholders if, in the good-faith judgment of the Company Board, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, failure to so disclose would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Legal Requirements or (iii) making any “stop, look and listen” communication pursuant to Rule 14d-9(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act; provided that (1) any such disclosure or position described in this Section 4.4(f) shall not be deemed to be a Company Adverse Change in Recommendation in and of itself and shall not in and of itself require the giving of any Determination Notice if, upon the written request of Parent following any disclosure specified in clauses (i) or (ii), the Company Board reaffirms the Company Board Recommendation in such statement or in connection with such action, and (2) this Section 4.4(f) shall not permit the Company Board to make a Company Adverse Change in Recommendation except to the extent expressly permitted by, and in accordance with, Sections 5.1(b) and 5.1(c).

(g) The Company (other than as permitted under Section 4.4(d)) (i) agrees that it will not, and it shall ensure that none of the other Target Companies will, release or permit the release of any Person from, or amend, waive or permit the amendment or waiver of any provision of, any “standstill” or similar agreement or provision to which any of the Target Companies is or becomes a party or under which any of the Target Companies has or acquires any rights and (ii) will use its reasonable best efforts to enforce or cause to be enforced each such agreement or provision.

(h) The Company agrees that in the event that any Target Company or any Representative of any Target Company takes any action which, if taken by the Company, would constitute a breach of this Section 4.4, the Company shall be deemed to be in breach of this Section 4.4.

SECTION 5 ADDITIONAL COVENANTS OF THE PARTIES

5.1 Company Recommendation

(a) Until the Specified Time, none of the Company, the Company Board nor any committee thereof shall (1) (A) withhold, withdraw, qualify or modify in a manner adverse to Parent or Purchaser, or resolve to or publicly propose to withhold, withdraw, qualify, or modify in a manner adverse to Parent or Purchaser, the Company Board Recommendation, (B) remove the Company Board Recommendation from or fail to include the Company Board Recommendation in the Offer Documents or (C) approve, recommend or declare advisable, or publicly propose to approve, recommend or declare advisable, any Acquisition Proposal (any action described in this clause (1) being referred to as a “Company Adverse Change in Recommendation”) or (2) adopt, approve, recommend, submit to stockholders or declare advisable, or propose to adopt, approve, recommend, submit to stockholders or declare advisable, or allow any Target Company to execute or enter into any letter of intent (whether or not binding), term sheet, merger agreement, acquisition agreement, option agreement, agreement in principle or similar agreement providing for any Acquisition Proposal, or requiring the Company to abandon, terminate, delay or fail to consummate the Contemplated Transactions (other than an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement) (any such Contract, an “Alternative Acquisition Agreement”).

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, at any time prior to the Specified Time:

(i) if the Company has received a bona fide written Acquisition Proposal (which Acquisition Proposal did not arise out of a material breach of Section 4.4) from any Person that has not been withdrawn and after consultation with outside legal counsel and financial advisors, the Company Board shall have determined in good faith that such Acquisition Proposal is a Superior Offer, (x) the Company Board may make a Company Adverse Change in Recommendation, and/or (y) the Company may

terminate this Agreement to substantially concurrently therewith enter into a Specified Agreement with respect to such Superior Offer and pay the Termination Fee pursuant to Section 7.3, in each case if and only if: (A) the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with the Company’s outside legal counsel, that the failure to take such action would be inconsistent with the fiduciary duties of the Company Board to the Company’s stockholders under applicable Legal Requirements; (B) the Company shall have given Parent prior written notice of its intention to consider making a Company Adverse Change in Recommendation or terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1(e) at least four Business Days prior to making any such Company Adverse Change in Recommendation or termination (a “Determination Notice”) (which notice shall not in and of itself constitute a Company Adverse Change in Recommendation or a termination of this Agreement); and (C) (1) the Company shall have made available to Parent the identity of the offeror, a summary of the material terms and conditions of the Acquisition Proposal and copies of all written materials and other documents required by Section 4.4(e), (2) the Company shall have given Parent the four Business Days after the Determination Notice to propose revisions to the terms of this Agreement or make other proposals and shall have made available its Representatives to negotiate with Parent in good faith with respect to such proposed revisions or other proposal, if any (provided that Parent may revise such offer or proposal in response to any revisions to a Superior Offer), (3) after considering any such revised proposal from Parent, including whether such proposal was a written, binding and irrevocable offer, and the results of any such negotiations and giving effect to the proposals made by Parent, if any, after consultation with outside legal counsel and its financial advisors, the Company Board shall have determined in good faith that such Acquisition Proposal continues to constitute a Superior Offer and, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that the failure to make the Company Adverse Change in Recommendation and/or terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1(e) would be inconsistent with the fiduciary duties of the Company Board to the Company’s stockholders under applicable Legal Requirements and (4) if the Company intends to terminate this Agreement to enter into a Specified Agreement, the Company shall have complied with Section 7.1(e). The provisions of this Section 5.1(b)(i) shall also apply to any material amendment (which shall include any revision to the amount, form or mix of consideration the Company’s stockholder would receive) to any Acquisition Proposal and require a new Determination Notice, except that, in the case of material amendments to any Acquisition Proposal, the references to four Business Days shall be deemed to be three Business Days; or

(ii) other than in connection with a Superior Offer (which shall be subject to Section 5.1(b)(i)), the Company Board may make a Company Adverse Change in Recommendation in response to a Change in Circumstance, if and only if: (A) the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with the Company’s outside legal counsel, that the failure to take such action would be inconsistent with the fiduciary duties of the Company Board to the Company’s stockholders under applicable Legal Requirements; (B) the Company shall have given Parent a Determination Notice at least four Business Days prior to making any such Company Adverse Change in Recommendation; and (C) (1) the Company shall have specified the Change in Circumstance in reasonable detail including a summary of the material facts and circumstances involved in such Change in Circumstance, (2) the Company shall have

given Parent the four Business Days after the Determination Notice to propose revisions to the terms of this Agreement or make other proposals and shall have made available its Representatives to negotiate with Parent with respect to such proposed revisions or other proposal, if any, such that the applicable Change in Circumstance would no longer necessitate a Company Adverse Change in Recommendation under this Section 5.1(b), and (3) after considering any such proposal, including whether such proposal was a written, binding and irrevocable offer, and the results of such negotiations and giving effect to the proposals made by Parent, if any, after consultation with outside legal counsel, the Company Board shall have determined in good faith that the failure to make the Company Adverse Change in Recommendation would be inconsistent with the fiduciary duties of the Company Board to the Company’s stockholders under applicable Legal Requirements. The provisions of this Section 5.1(b)(ii) shall also apply to any material change to the facts and circumstances relating to such Change in Circumstance and require a new Determination Notice, except that, in the case of material changes to any facts and circumstances relating to such Change in Circumstance, the references to four Business Days shall be deemed to be three Business Days.

(c) The Company shall ensure that any withdrawal or modification of the Company Board Recommendation does not have the effect of causing any corporate takeover law of the State of Delaware or any other state to be applicable to this Agreement or any of the Support Agreements, the Offer, the Merger or any of the other Contemplated Transactions.

5.2 Stock Options and Company ESPP.

(a) Prior to the Effective Time, the Company will take all actions necessary or appropriate to cause all Company Options, whether vested or unvested, to be terminated and cancelled immediately prior to the Effective Time in exchange for the right of the holder thereof to receive a lump-sum amount in cash, without interest, equal to the excess, if any, of the Offer Price over the exercise price per share thereof, net of any Taxes withheld pursuant to Section 1.11. For the avoidance of doubt, with respect to each Company Option with an exercise price that is less than or equal to the Offer Price, such termination and cancellation will be for no consideration. Following the Effective Time, no Company Option shall remain outstanding and each former holder of a Company Option shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the consideration set forth in this Section 5.2(a) in exchange for such Company Options in accordance with this Section 5.2(a). The Company will cause the consideration payable under this Section 5.2(a) to each former holder of a Company Option that was outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time to be paid through the Surviving Corporation’s payroll (or through the Paying Agent if the former holder is not a current or former employee of the Company or any Company Affiliates) to such former holder as soon as practicable following the Effective Time (but in any event not later than ten Business Days thereafter). Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall take all actions necessary or appropriate to effectuate the treatment of the Company Options contemplated by this Section 5.2(a).

(b) At the Effective Time, Parent may (if Parent determines that it desires to do so) assume the Company Option Plan.

(c) Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall take all actions necessary or appropriate to terminate the Company ESPP as of the Effective Time in accordance with the Company ESPP, with no shares of Company Common Stock being purchased under the Company ESPP after the date hereof.

5.3 Employee Benefits.

(a) During the period commencing on the Closing Date and ending on the first anniversary of the Closing Date (or such earlier date as such Continuing Employee’s employment terminates for any reason) (the “Continuation Period”), Parent shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries (including the Surviving Corporation) to, provide each employee of the Target Companies who continues employment with Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any Subsidiary of the Surviving Corporation immediately following the Effective Time (“Continuing Employees”) with, as applicable, (i) a rate of salary, target annual cash bonus and commission opportunities that, taken together, are no less favorable in the aggregate than those provided to such Continuing Employee immediately prior to the Effective Time, (ii) employee benefits that are comparable in the aggregate to either (at Parent’s discretion) (x) the employee benefits (other than defined benefit pension benefits, retiree welfare benefits, severance benefits and deferred compensation) provided to such Continuing Employee immediately prior to the Effective Time, or (y) the employee benefits (other than defined benefit pension benefits, retiree welfare benefits, severance benefits and deferred compensation) provided to similarly-situated employees of Parent and its subsidiaries from time to time during the Continuation Period, and (iii) in the event that such Continuing Employee’s employment is terminated by Parent or any of its affiliates without “cause” during the Continuation Period, severance benefits that are no less favorable than the severance benefits that would have been provided to the applicable Continuing Employee pursuant to the Company Employee Plan set forth on Part 5.3(a) of the Company Disclosure Schedule had such termination occurred immediately prior to the Effective Time; provided, that such Continuing Employee may be required to execute a general release of claims in a form provided or approved by Parent in connection with such Continuing Employees’ receipt of any such severance benefits.

(b) Nothing in this Section 5.3 or elsewhere in this Agreement shall be construed to create a right in any Company Associate to employment with Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any other Subsidiary or affiliate of Parent, or to interfere with or restrict in any way the rights of Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any other Subsidiary or affiliate of Parent, which rights are hereby expressly reserved, to discharge or terminate the services of any employee or other service provider of the Company or any Company Affiliate at any time for any reason whatsoever, with or without cause. No Company Associate, Continuing Employee or any other Person shall be deemed to be a third party beneficiary of this Section 5.3. In no event shall the terms of this Agreement be deemed to (i) establish, amend or modify any Company Employee Plan or any other employee benefit plan, program, agreement or arrangement maintained or sponsored by Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any other Subsidiary or affiliate of Parent, or (ii) alter or limit the ability of Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any other Subsidiary or affiliate of Parent to amend, modify or terminate any Company Employee Plan in accordance with its terms after the Effective Time.

(c) Unless requested otherwise by Parent at least five days prior to the Closing, the Company shall take (or cause to be taken) all actions necessary or appropriate to terminate, effective no later than the day prior to the date on which the Merger becomes effective, any Company Employee Plan that contains a cash or deferred arrangement intended to qualify under Section 401(k) of the Code (a “Company 401(k) Plan”). If the Company is required to terminate any Company 401(k) Plan, then the Company shall provide to Parent prior to the Closing Date written evidence of the adoption by the Company Board of resolutions authorizing the termination of such Company 401(k) Plan (the form and substance of which resolutions shall be subject to the prior review and approval of Parent, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), effective no later than the date immediately preceding the Closing Date. If Parent, in its sole and absolute discretion, agrees to sponsor and maintain any Company 401(k) Plan, the Company shall, upon request by Parent at least five days prior to the Closing, amend such Company 401(k) Plan, effective as of the Closing, to the extent necessary to limit participation to employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries and to exclude all employees of Parent and its Subsidiaries (other than the Company and its Subsidiaries) from participation in such Company 401(k) Plan.

(d) With respect to each “employee benefit plan” as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA and each vacation or paid time-off and severance plan (that is not an “employee benefit plan” as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA) maintained by Parent or any Subsidiary of Parent (collectively, the “Parent Benefit Plans”) in which any Continuing Employee will participate after the Effective Time, Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, use commercially reasonable efforts to recognize all service of the Continuing Employees prior to the Closing Date with the Company or a Subsidiary, as the case may be, for purposes of eligibility, vesting, participation and level of benefits (but not for purposes of benefit accrual other than with respect to vacation, paid time off, or severance), in any such Parent Benefit Plan to the extent such service was credited under the applicable Company Employee Plan or Company policy; provided, however, that such service shall not be recognized for purposes of benefit accruals under any defined benefit pension plan, nonqualified deferred compensation plan, or retiree health or welfare plan or arrangement or vesting of any cash, equity or equity-based compensation plan, program or arrangement; and provided further that such recognition of service shall not operate to duplicate any benefits of a Continuing Employee with respect to the same period of service or to the extent that such service is not recognized under such Parent Benefit Plan for other employees of Parent and its Subsidiaries. In addition, Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) waive all limitations as to preexisting conditions, exclusions and waiting periods with respect to participation and coverage requirements applicable to the Continuing Employees under any Parent Benefit Plan that is a welfare benefit plan in which such Continuing Employees are eligible to participate after the Effective Time, other than preexisting condition limitations, exclusions or waiting periods that are already in effect with respect to such Continuing Employees and that have not been satisfied or waived as of the Effective Time under any welfare benefit plan maintained for the Continuing Employees immediately prior to the Effective Time; and (ii) provide each Continuing Employee with credit for any co-payments and deductibles paid prior to the Effective Time during the plan year in which the Closing Date occurs in satisfying any applicable deductible or out-of-pocket requirements under any Parent Benefit Plan that is a welfare plan in which such Continuing Employees are eligible to participate after the Effective Time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Parent’s obligations under this Section 5.3(d) shall be conditioned on the Company using its commercially reasonable efforts to provide all information and assistance as Parent may reasonably request in connection with the benefits to be provided under the Parent Benefit Plans pursuant to this Section 5.3(d).

5.4 Indemnification of Officers and Directors.

(a) Parent shall cause all rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses and exculpation from liabilities by the Company or its Subsidiaries existing in favor of those Persons who are current or former directors or officers of the Company or its Subsidiaries at or prior to the Acceptance Time (the “Indemnified Persons”) for their acts and omissions as directors and officers, employees or agents of the Company or its Subsidiaries occurring prior to the Effective Time, as provided in the Company’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws (as in effect as of the date of this Agreement) and as provided in any indemnification agreements between the Company and said Indemnified Persons (as in effect as of the date of this Agreement) identified in Part 2.10(a)(viii) of the Company Disclosure Schedule, to survive the Merger and be observed and performed by the Surviving Corporation and any applicable Subsidiaries to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law for a period of six years from the Closing Date, which provisions governing such rights shall not be amended, repealed, abrogated or otherwise modified in any manner that would adversely affect any Indemnified Persons.

(b) Parent shall, for a period of six years from the Closing Date, cause the certificate of incorporation and bylaws (or comparable organizational documents) of the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries to contain provisions no less favorable with respect to indemnification, advancement of expenses and exculpation of Indemnified Persons as are presently set forth in the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Company and such Subsidiaries, and such provisions shall not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified in any manner that would adversely affect any right thereunder of any Person benefited by such provisions without such person’s prior written consent. Parent guarantees the full and timely performance of the obligations of the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries under this Section 5.4(b).

(c) The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to purchase, prior to the Effective Time, a six-year prepaid “tail policy” on terms and conditions (in both amount and scope) providing substantially equivalent benefits as the current policies of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance and fiduciary liability insurance maintained by the Company and its Subsidiaries with respect to matters arising on or before the Effective Time, covering without limitation the Contemplated Transaction (the “D&O Insurance”).

(d) In the event Parent or the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective successors or assigns: (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, Parent shall ensure that the successors and assigns of Parent or the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, shall assume the obligations set forth in this Section 5.4.

(e) The provisions of this Section 4 shall survive the consummation of the Merger and are (i) intended to be for the benefit of, and will be enforceable by, each of the Indemnified Persons and its respective successors, assigns and heirs and (ii) in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other rights to indemnification or contribution that any such Person may have by contract or otherwise.

Each of the Company and Parent shall give the other party prompt notice upon becoming aware of the commencement or known threat of commencement of any Legal Proceeding by or before any Governmental Body with respect to the Merger or any of the other Contemplated Transactions, keep the other party reasonably informed as to the status of any such Legal Proceeding or threat, and in connection with any such Legal Proceeding, each of the Company or Parent will permit authorized representatives of the other party to be present at each meeting or conference relating to any such Legal Proceeding and to have access to and be consulted in connection with any document, opinion or proposal made or submitted to any Governmental Body in connection with any such Legal Proceeding.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein (but subject to the following sentence), the Company shall have the right to control the defense of any such litigation; provided, that the Company shall give Parent the opportunity to participate, at Parent’s expense, in the defense of any such litigation and the Company shall give due consideration to Parent’s advice with respect to such litigation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Company shall not settle, offer to settle, or enter into any negotiations or agreements with respect to the settlement or potential settlement of any such litigation without the prior written consent of Parent, which consent shall not be unreasonably conditioned, withheld or delayed. Each of Parent and the Company shall notify the other promptly of the commencement, or commencement threatened in writing, of any such litigation of which it has received notice.

5.10 Stock Exchange Delisting; Deregistration. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall cooperate with Parent and use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and do or cause to be done all things, reasonably necessary, proper or advisable (to the extent that such actions can reasonably be taken prior to the Effective Time) on its part under applicable laws and rules and policies of the Nasdaq Capital Market to enable the delisting by the Surviving Corporation of the shares of Company Common Stock from the Nasdaq Capital Market and the deregistration of the shares of Company Common Stock under the Exchange Act as promptly as practicable after the Effective Time.

SECTION 7 TERMINATION

7.1 Termination. This Agreement may be terminated (with respect to Section 7.1(b) through 7.1(h), by written notice by the terminating party to the other party, with termination by Parent also being an effective termination by Purchaser) prior to the Acceptance Time:

(a) by mutual written consent of Parent and the Company;

(b) by either Parent or the Company if a court of competent jurisdiction or other Governmental Body shall have issued a final and non-appealable Order, or shall have taken any other final and non-appealable action, having the effect of permanently restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting or making illegal the acceptance of Shares in the Offer or the Merger; provided that a party shall not be permitted to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 7.1(b) if the issuance of such final and non-appealable Order results primarily from such party’s breach of, or failure to perform, any covenant or obligation in this Agreement required to be performed by such party at or prior to the Acceptance Time;

(c) by either Parent or the Company (A) if the Acceptance Time shall not have occurred on or before midnight Eastern Time on the End Date; or (B) the Offer shall have expired or been terminated in accordance with its terms without Purchaser having purchased any Shares pursuant thereto; provided that the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 7.1(c) shall not be available to any party whose breach of or failure to fulfill in any material respect any of its obligations under this Agreement has been the primary cause of, or the primary factor that resulted in, the event specified in either of the foregoing clauses (A) or (B);

(d) by Parent (at any time prior to the Acceptance Time) if, whether or not permitted to do so: (i) the Company Board or any committee thereof shall have made a Company Adverse Change in Recommendation; (ii) the Company, Company Board or any committee thereof shall have adopted, approved, recommended, submitted to stockholders, declared advisable, executed or entered into (or resolved, determined or proposed to adopt, approve, recommend, submit to stockholders, declare advisable, execute or enter into) any Alternative Acquisition Agreement (other than an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement entered into pursuant to Section 4.4 or Section 5.1); (iii) following the public disclosure of an Acquisition Proposal (other than a tender or exchange offer which is the subject of clause (iv) below), the Company Board fails to publicly reaffirm the Company Board Recommendation within five Business Days after Parent so requests in writing (provided that Parent may only make such request on two occasions); (iv) a tender offer or exchange offer for outstanding shares of Company Common Stock shall have been commenced (other than by Parent or a Parent Affiliate) and the Company Board shall have recommended that the stockholders of the Company tender their shares in such tender or exchange offer or, within 10 Business Days after the commencement of such tender or exchange offer, the Company Board shall have failed to recommend against acceptance of such offer; (v) the Company shall have materially breached its obligations under Section 4.4 or Section 5.1(a) or Section 5.1(b); or (vi) other than in connection with an Acquisition Proposal, the Company shall have failed to issue a press release that reaffirms the Company Board Recommendation within five Business Days after Parent so requests in writing (provided that Parent may only make such request on two occasions) (each of the foregoing, a “Triggering Event”); provided that any such termination under this Section 7.1(d) must occur within 10 Business Days of the applicable Triggering Event;

(e) by the Company (at any time prior to the Acceptance Time) in order to, substantially concurrent with such termination, enter into a binding written definitive acquisition agreement providing for the consummation of a transaction constituting a Superior Offer (a “Specified Agreement”), which right may be exercised if, and only if: (i) the Company has not materially breached the requirements of Section 4.4 or Section 5.1(a) or Section 5.1(b) with respect to such Superior Offer, (ii) the Company Board shall have authorized the Company to enter into such Specified Agreement and (iii) substantially concurrently with such termination, the Company pays the Termination Fee as provided in Section 7.3(b);

(f) by Parent if: (i) any of the Company’s representations and warranties contained in this Agreement shall be inaccurate such that the Offer Conditions set forth in clause (e) in Exhibit D would not be satisfied; or (ii) any of the Company’s covenants or obligations contained in this Agreement shall have been breached such that the Offer Condition set forth in clause (d) in Exhibit D would not be satisfied; provided, however, that, (A) for purposes of clauses “(i)” and “(ii)” above, if an inaccuracy in any of the Company’s representations and warranties or a breach of a covenant or obligation by the Company is capable of being cured by the End Date, then Parent may not terminate this Agreement under this Section 7.1(f) on account of such inaccuracy or breach unless such inaccuracy or breach shall remain uncured for a period of 30 days commencing on the date that Parent gives the Company notice of such inaccuracy or breach (or any shorter period of the time that remains between the date Parent provides written notice of such inaccuracy or breach and the End Date), and (B) Parent may not terminate this Agreement under this Section 7.1(f) if Parent or Purchaser is then in material breach of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or obligations under this Agreement that would result in the Company having the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1(h); or

(g) by the Company if: (i) if any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement on the part of Parent or Purchaser shall be inaccurate, or the failure to perform any covenant or obligation in this Agreement on the part of Parent or Purchaser shall have occurred, in each case, if such inaccuracy or failure to perform would be reasonably likely to have a Parent Material Adverse Effect; provided, however, that, (A) for purposes of this Section 7.1(g), if an inaccuracy in any of Parent’s representations and warranties or a breach of a covenant or obligation by Parent is capable of being cured by the End Date, then the Company may not terminate this Agreement under this Section 7.1(g) on account of such inaccuracy or breach unless such inaccuracy or breach shall remain uncured for a period of 30 days commencing on the date that the Company gives Parent notice of such inaccuracy or breach (or any shorter period of the time that remains between the date the Company provides written notice of such inaccuracy or breach and the End Date), and (B) the Company may not terminate this Agreement under this Section7.1(g) if the Company is then in material breach of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or obligations under this Agreement that would result in Parent having the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1(f); or

(h) by the Company (A) if Purchaser shall have failed to commence (within the meaning of Rule 14d-2 under the Exchange Act) the Offer within the time period specified in Section 1.1; provided that the Company is not then in material breach of Section 1.1(c) or Section 1.2 or (B) if Purchaser shall have failed to irrevocably accept for purchase all shares of Company Common Stock validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) within two (2) Business Days of the expiration of the Offer (as it may be extended in accordance with the terms of this Agreement) and as of such expiration, all of the Offer Conditions have been satisfied or waived.

7.2 Effect of Termination. In the event of the termination of this Agreement as provided in Section 7.1, written notice thereof shall be given to the other party or parties, specifying the provision or provisions hereof pursuant to which such termination is made, and this Agreement shall be of no further force or effect and there shall be no liability on the part of Parent, Purchaser or the Company or their respective Representatives, stockholders and affiliates following any such termination; provided, however, that (a) this Section 7 and Section 8 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and shall remain in full force and effect, (b) the Confidentiality Agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement and shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with its terms and (c) the termination of this Agreement shall not relieve any party from any liability for intentional common law fraud or the Company’s Willful Breach of any provision of this Agreement by entering into or otherwise initiating bankruptcy proceedings. Nothing shall limit or prevent any party from exercising, prior to any termination of this Agreement, any rights it may have to specific performance under Section 8.5 in lieu of terminating this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1.

7.3 Expenses; Termination Fee.

(a) Except as set forth in this Section 7.3, all Transaction Expenses shall be paid by the party incurring such expenses, whether or not the Merger is consummated.

(b) If this Agreement is terminated:

(i) by the Company pursuant to Section 7.1(e);

(ii) by Parent pursuant to Section 7.1(d); or

(iii) by Parent or the Company pursuant to Section 7.1(c) or by Parent pursuant to Section 7.1(f), and: (A) any Person shall have publicly disclosed an Acquisition Proposal after the date of this Agreement and prior to such termination (unless withdrawn prior to such termination); and (B) within 12 months of such termination the Company shall have consummated an Acquisition Proposal or shall have entered into a definitive agreement with respect to any Acquisition Proposal that is thereafter consummated (provided that for purposes of this clause (B) the references to “35%” in the definition of “Acquisition Transaction” shall be deemed to be references to “50%”),

then, in any such event under clause “(i),” “(ii)” or “(iii)” of this Section 7.3(b), the Company shall pay to Parent the Termination Fee by wire transfer of same day funds (x) in the case of Section 7.3(b)(i), prior to or concurrently with the termination of this Agreement and execution of the Specified Agreement, (y) in the case of Section 7.3(b)(ii), within two Business Days after such termination or (z) in the case of Section 7.3(b)(iii), two Business Days after consummation of the Acquisition Proposal referred to in subclause (iii)(B) above; it being understood that in no event shall the Company be required to pay the Termination Fee on more than one occasion. As used herein, “Termination Fee” means a cash amount equal to $7,227,181.80. In the event that Parent shall receive the Termination Fee, the receipt of such fee shall be deemed to be liquidated damages for any and all losses or damages suffered or incurred by Parent, Purchaser, any Parent Affiliates or any other Person in connection with this Agreement (and the termination hereof) or the Contemplated Transactions (and the abandonment thereof), or any matter forming the basis for such termination, and none of Parent, Purchaser, any Parent Affiliates or any other Person

shall be entitled to bring or maintain any other claim, action or proceeding against the Company or any Company Affiliates or any Representative of the Company or any Company Affiliates arising out of this Agreement, any of the Contemplated Transactions or any matters forming the basis for such termination; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 7.3(b) shall relieve any party from any liability for intentional common law fraud.

(c) If this Agreement is terminated by Parent or the Company pursuant to Section 7.1(c), the Company shall reimburse Parent promptly upon demand (but in any event within two Business Days after the date of such demand), by wire transfer of same day funds, any Transaction Expenses (including disbursements and fees of outside legal counsel and outside strategic advisors) incurred by Parent in connection with this Agreement or the Contemplated Transactions (“Parent Expenses”); provided that Parent Expenses shall not exceed $1,500,000.

(d) The parties acknowledge that the agreements contained in this Section 7.3 are an integral part of the Contemplated Transactions and that, without these agreements, the parties would not enter into this Agreement; accordingly, if the Company fails to timely pay any amount due pursuant to this Section 7.3, and, in order to obtain the payment, Parent commences a Legal Proceeding which results in a judgment against the Company, the Company shall pay Parent its reasonable and documented costs and expenses (including reasonable and documented fees of outside legal counsel) in connection with such suit, together with interest on such amount and the Termination Fee or Parent Expenses at the prime rate as published in the Wall Street Journal in effect on the date such payment was required to be made, plus 2% per annum, through the date such payment was actually received.

SECTION 8 MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

8.1 Amendment. This Agreement may be amended, modified and supplemented with the approval of the respective boards of directors of the Company and Parent at any time (whether before or after the adoption of this Agreement by the Company’s stockholders), but only if, such amendment, modification or supplementation is in writing and is signed by each party hereto; provided, however, that: (a) after any such adoption of this Agreement by the Company’s stockholders, no amendment shall be made which by applicable Legal Requirements requires further approval of the stockholders of the Company without the further approval of such stockholders; and (b) no amendment shall be made which by law or regulation of the Nasdaq Capital Market requires further approval of Parent’s stockholders without the further approval of such stockholders. This Agreement may not be amended except by an instrument in writing signed on behalf of each of the parties hereto.

8.2 Waiver.

(a) Subject to Sections 8.2(b) and 8.2(c), at any time prior to the Acceptance Time, any party hereto may: (i) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the other parties to this Agreement; (ii) waive any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or obligation of the other party in this Agreement or in any document delivered pursuant to this Agreement; and (iii) waive compliance with any covenant, obligation or condition for the benefit of such party contained in this Agreement.

(b) No failure on the part of any party to exercise any power, right, privilege or remedy under this Agreement, and no delay on the part of any party in exercising any power, right, privilege or remedy under this Agreement, shall operate as a waiver of such power, right, privilege or remedy; and no single or partial exercise of any such power, right, privilege or remedy shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or of any other power, right, privilege or remedy.

(c) No party shall be deemed to have waived any claim arising out of this Agreement, or any power, right, privilege or remedy under this Agreement, unless the waiver of such claim, power, right, privilege or remedy is expressly set forth in a written instrument duly executed and delivered on behalf of such party; and any such waiver shall not be applicable or have any effect except in the specific instance in which it is given.

8.3 No Survival of Representations and Warranties. None of the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or in any certificate delivered pursuant to this Agreement shall survive the Acceptance Time.

8.4 Entire Agreement; Counterparts; Exchanges by Facsimile or Electronic Delivery. This Agreement and the other agreements, exhibits and disclosure schedules referred to herein constitute the entire agreement and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among or between any of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof; provided, however, that except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, the Confidentiality Agreement shall not be superseded and shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with its terms (it being understood that no provision in this Agreement or in the Confidentiality Agreement shall limit any party’s rights or remedies in the case of intentional common law fraud). This Agreement may be executed in separate counterparts (including by facsimile or by an electronic scan, including portable document format (.pdf) delivered by electronic mail), each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which shall constitute one and the same instrument. The exchange of a fully executed Agreement (in counterparts or otherwise) by facsimile or by other electronic delivery shall be sufficient to bind the parties to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

8.5 Applicable Law; Jurisdiction; Specific Performance; Remedies. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any laws, rules or provisions that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware. In any action among or between any of the parties arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of the Contemplated Transactions: (a) each of the parties irrevocably and unconditionally consents and submits to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the Chancery Court of the State of Delaware; and (b) each of the parties irrevocably waives the right to trial by jury. The parties agree that irreparable damage would occur and that the parties would not have any adequate remedy at law in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. All rights and remedies existing under this Agreement are cumulative to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies otherwise available. The parties hereto further agree not to assert that a remedy of specific enforcement is unenforceable, invalid, contrary to applicable Legal Requirements or inequitable for any reason, and agree not to assert that a remedy of monetary damages would provide an adequate remedy.

8.6 Disclosure Schedules. The Company Disclosure Schedule shall be arranged in separate parts corresponding to the numbered and lettered sections contained in Section 2. The Parent Disclosure Schedule shall be arranged in separate parts corresponding to the numbered and lettered sections contained in Section 3. The Company Disclosure Schedule and Parent Disclosure Schedule shall each be delivered as of the date hereof, and no amendments or modifications thereto shall be made. Any purported update or modification to the Company Disclosure Schedule or Parent Disclosure Schedule after the date hereof shall be disregarded. The inclusion of any information in the Company Disclosure Schedule or Parent Disclosure Schedule shall not be deemed to be an admission or acknowledgment, in and of itself, that such information is required by the terms hereof to be disclosed, is material, has resulted in or would result in a Company Material Adverse Effect or Parent Material Adverse Effect, or is outside the ordinary course of business.

8.7 Assignability; No Third Party Rights. This Agreement shall be binding upon, and shall be enforceable by and inure solely to the benefit of, the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns; provided, however, that neither this Agreement nor any party’s rights or obligations hereunder may be assigned or delegated by such party without the prior written consent of the other parties hereto, and any attempted assignment or delegation of this Agreement or any of such rights or obligations by any party without the prior written consent of the other parties shall be void and of no effect. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto) any right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement, except (i) as specifically provided in Section 5.4 and (ii) after the Effective Time, with respect to the payment of consideration to holders of Company Common Stock pursuant to Section 1 hereof.

(a) immediately prior to the-then scheduled expiration of the Offer, the number of shares of Company Common Stock validly tendered and not validly withdrawn, together with any shares of Company Common Stock beneficially owned by Parent or any Subsidiary of Parent, equals at least one share more than 50% of all shares of Company Common Stock then outstanding (the “Minimum Condition”); provided that for purposes of determining whether the Minimum Condition has been satisfied, the parties shall exclude Shares tendered in the Offer pursuant to guaranteed delivery procedures that have not yet been “received” (as such term is defined in Section 251(h)(6)(f) of the DGCL); and

(b) the applicable waiting period under the HSR Act in respect of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall have expired or been terminated and a Governmental Body of competent jurisdiction shall not have enacted, issued, promulgated, enforced or entered any order, executive order, temporary restraining order, stay, decree, judgment or injunction (preliminary or permanent) or statute, rule or regulation which has the effect of prohibiting the consummation of the Offer or making the Offer or the Merger illegal or otherwise prohibiting consummation of the Offer or the Merger, nor shall any Legal Requirement have been promulgated, enacted, issued, or deemed applicable to the Offer or the Merger by any Governmental Body which prohibits or makes illegal the acquisition of or payment for Shares pursuant to the Offer or the consummation of the Merger; and

(d) the Company shall have complied with or performed in all material respects the obligations, covenants and agreements under this Agreement it is required to comply with or perform at or prior to the Acceptance Time; and

(e) (i) the Company Designated Representations shall be accurate in all respects as of the expiration of the Offer as though made on and as of the expiration of the Offer (except for any such representations and warranties made as of a specific date, which shall have been accurate in all respects as of such date); and

(ii) the Company Capitalization Representations shall be accurate in all respects (other than de minimis inaccuracies) as of the expiration of the Offer as though made on and as of the expiration of the Offer (except for any such representations and warranties made as of a specific date, which shall have been true and correct (other than de minimis inaccuracies) in all respects as of such date); and

(iii) each of the representations and warranties of the Company (other than the Company Designated Representations and the Company Capitalization Representations) shall be accurate in all respects as of the expiration of the Offer (except for any such representations and warranties made as of a specific date, which shall have been accurate in all respects as of such date); provided, however, that for purposes of determining the accuracy of such representations and warranties as of the foregoing dates all qualifications limiting the scope of such representations and warranties indicated by the words “Company Material Adverse Effect,” “in all material respects,” “in any material respect,” “material” or “materially” will be disregarded, except, where the failure of any such representations and warranties to be so true and correct would not, and would not be reasonably expected to, have, individually or in the aggregate, a Company Material Adverse Effect; and

(f) Parent and Purchaser shall have received a certificate of an executive officer of the Company, dated as of the scheduled Expiration Time, to the effect that the conditions set forth in the foregoing clauses (d) and (e) have been satisfied; and

(g) this Agreement shall not have been validly terminated in accordance with its terms; and

(h) there shall not be pending any Legal Proceeding in which a Governmental Body is a party: (i) challenging or seeking to restrain, prohibit, rescind or unwind the Offer or the Merger; (ii) seeking to prohibit or limit in any material respect Parent’s ability to vote, transfer, receive dividends with respect to or otherwise exercise ownership rights with respect to the stock of the Surviving Corporation; (iii) relating to the Offer or the Merger and that would reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect the right or ability of Parent to own any of the material assets or materially limit the operation of the business of the Target Companies, taken as a whole; (iv) seeking to compel any of the Target Companies, Parent or any Subsidiary of Parent to dispose of or hold separate any material assets or material business as a result of the Offer or the Merger; or (v) relating to the Offer or the Merger and seeking to impose (or that would reasonably be expected to result in the imposition of) any criminal sanctions or criminal liability on Parent or any of the Target Companies.

The foregoing conditions shall be in addition to, and not a limitation of, the right of Parent and Purchaser to extend, terminate or modify the Offer pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. The foregoing conditions are for the sole benefit of Parent and Purchaser, and may be asserted by Parent or Purchaser regardless of the circumstances giving rise to such condition. All conditions (except for the Minimum Condition) may be waived by Parent or Purchaser in their sole discretion in whole or in part at any applicable time or from time to time, in each case subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC. The failure of Parent or Purchaser at any time to exercise any of the foregoing rights shall not be deemed a waiver of any such right and each such right shall be deemed an ongoing right that may be asserted at any time and from time to time.
