    in the Offer, (D) imposes conditions to the Offer in addition to the conditions to the Offer set forth in Annex Ahereto, (E) amends the

    waived by Parent and Merger Sub, in whole or in part, at any time and from
    time to time, in their sole discretion, other than the Minimum Condition, which may be waived by Parent and Merger Sub only with the prior written consent of the Company. The failure by Parent and
    Merger Sub 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.

    (b) Adjustments to Offer Price. The Offer Price shall be adjusted appropriately to reflect the effect of any
    stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend (including any dividend or distribution of securities convertible into Company Common Stock), cash dividend, reorganization, recapitalization,

10

    the
    Exchange Act); provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, (i) Merger Sub
    shall extend the Offer for any period required by any rule, regulation, interpretation or position of the SEC or its staff, the Nasdaq or the NYSE that is applicable to the Offer and (ii) in

    satisfied or waived as of any then scheduled expiration date of the Offer, Merger Sub shall extend the Offer for successive extension periods of ten (10) Business Days each in order to permit
    the satisfaction of the conditions to the Offer; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) of this Section 2.1(c), in no event shall Merger Sub be required to extend the Offer beyond the Initial Termination Date or the Extended Termination
    Date, as applicable; and provided further, that the foregoing clauses (i) or (ii) of this Section 2.1(c) shall not be deemed to impair,
    limit or otherwise restrict in any manner the right of Parent to terminate this Agreement pursuant
    to the terms of Article IX hereof.

    withholding or other Taxes payable by such holder.

    (e) Subsequent Offering Period. Merger Sub may (but shall not be required to), and the Offer Documents shall

    twenty (20) business days immediately following the expiration of the Offer; provided, however, that in the event that more than eighty percent
    (80%) of the then outstanding Company Shares have been validly tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to the Offer on the applicable expiration date of the Offer (as it may be extended in accordance with Section 2.1(c)

    hereof), Merger Sub shall extend the Offer for a subsequent offering period (within the meaning of Rule 14d-11
    under the Exchange Act) of ten (10) business days immediately following the applicable expiration date of the Offer unless Parent exercises the 90% Top-Up Option pursuant to Section 2.5
    hereof. Subject to the terms
    and conditions of this Agreement and the Offer, Merger Sub shall (and Parent shall cause Merger Sub to) accept for payment, and pay for, all Company Shares validly tendered and not withdrawn pursuant
    to the Offer as so extended by such subsequent offering period, as promptly as practicable after any such Company Shares are tendered during such subsequent offering period. The Offer Price payable in

    Each of Parent, Merger Sub and the Company shall promptly correct any information provided by it for use in the Schedule TO or the Offer Documents if and to the extent that such information shall have
    become false or misleading in any material respect. Parent and Merger Sub shall take all steps necessary to cause the Schedule TO and the Offer Documents, as so corrected, to be filed with the SEC and
    the other Offer Documents, as so corrected, to be disseminated to the Company Stockholders, in each case as and to the extent required by applicable federal securities laws. Parent and Merger Sub

    Subject to any and all Legal Requirements, and except for such steps as are necessary to disseminate the Offer Documents and any other documents necessary to consummate the Merger, Parent and Merger

2.3 Company Board of Directors and Committees; Section 14(f) of Exchange Act.

    (a) Composition of Company Board and Board Committees. Effective upon the initial acceptance for payment by
    Merger Sub of Company Shares pursuant to the Offer (the “Appointment Time,” the use of which term herein shall not, unless the context otherwise
    requires, depend upon whether Parent shall exercise its rights under this Section 2.3(a)) and from time to time thereafter, Parent shall be
    entitled to designate up to such number of directors on the Company Board equal to the product (rounded up to the next whole number) obtained by multiplying (x) the number of directors on the
    Company Board (giving effect to any increase in the number of directors pursuant to this Section 2.3) and (y) a fraction, the numerator of
    which is the number of Company Shares held by Parent and Merger Sub (giving effect to the Company Shares purchased pursuant to the Offer), and the denominator of which is the total number of then
    outstanding Company Shares. Promptly following a request by Parent, the Company shall take all action necessary to cause the individuals so designated by Parent to be elected or appointed to the

14

    Company
    Board, including (at the election of Parent) either by increasing the size of the Company Board or by seeking and accepting or otherwise securing the resignations of such number of then
    incumbent directors as is necessary to enable the individuals so designated by Parent to be elected or appointed to the Company Board. From time to time after the Appointment Time, the Company shall
    take all action necessary to cause the individuals so designated by Parent to constitute substantially the same percentage (rounding up where appropriate) as is on the Company Board on (i) each
    committee of the Company Board, (ii) each board of directors of each Subsidiary of the Company and (iii) each committee of each such board of directors of each Subsidiary of the Company,
    in each case to the fullest extent permitted by all applicable Legal Requirements. Solely for purposes of this Section 2.3, any and all members
    of the Company Board immediately prior to such appointments by Parent who remain on the Company Board after such appointments by Parent shall be referred to as “Continuing
    Directors
    ” and each as a “Continuing Director.”

    (b) Section 14(f) of the Exchange Act. The Company’s obligation to appoint Parent’s designees to the
    Company Board shall be subject to Section 14(f) of the Exchange Act and Rule 14f-1 promulgated thereunder. The Company shall promptly take all action required pursuant to
    this Section 2.3 and Section 14(f) and Rule 14f-1 in order to fulfill its obligations under this Section 2.3, and shall include in the
    Schedule 14D-9 such information with respect to the Company and its directors and
    officers as is required under such Section 14(f) and Rule 14f-1 in order to fulfill its obligations under this Section 2.3. Parent shall provide to the Company in writing, and be solely
    responsible for any information with respect to itself and its
    nominees, directors, officers and affiliates, required by such Section 14(f) and Rule 14f-1.

    (c) Required Approvals of Continuing Directors. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this
    Agreement, in the event that Parent’s designees are elected or appointed to the Company Board prior to the Effective Time pursuant to Section 2.3(a) hereof and there shall be any Continuing
    Directors, the approval of a majority of such Continuing Directors (or the sole
    Continuing Director if there shall be only one (1) Continuing Director) shall be required in order to (i) amend or terminate this Agreement, or agree or consent to any amendment or
    termination of this Agreement, in any case on behalf of the Company, (ii) extend the time for performance of, or waive, any of the obligations or other acts of Parent or Merger Sub under this
    Agreement, (iii) waive any of the Company’s rights under this Agreement or (iv) make any other determination with respect to any action to be taken or not to be
    taken by or on behalf of the Company relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, including the Offer and the Merger.

2.4 50% Top-Up Option.

    (a) In
    order to offset the dilutive impact of the issuance of Company Shares pursuant to the exercise of any Company Options or the conversion of any other securities of the
    Company that are convertible into (or exercisable or exchangeable for) Company Shares following the Appointment Time, the Company hereby irrevocably grants to Merger Sub an option (the
    50% Top-Up Option“), exercisable only pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 2.4, to purchase that number of Company Shares
    (the “50% Top-Up Option
    Shares
    “) equal to the lowest number of Company Shares that, when added to the number of Company Shares owned by Merger Sub at the time of such exercise, shall constitute one
    share more than 50% of the Company Shares then outstanding (assuming the issuance of the 50% Top-Up Option Shares) at a price per share equal to the Offer Price; provided, however, that the 50% Top-Up
    Option shall not be exercisable unless immediately after such exercise and the issuance of Company
    Shares pursuant thereto, Merger Sub would own more than 50% of the Company Shares then outstanding (assuming the issuance of the 50% Top-Up Option Shares); and provided further, however, that in no
    event shall the 50% Top-Up Option be exercisable for a number of Company Shares in excess of the
    Company’s then authorized and unissued shares of Company Common Stock.

15

    (b) In
    the event that, as a result of the issuance of Company Shares pursuant to the exercise of any Company Options or the conversion of any other securities of the Company
    that are convertible into (or exercisable or exchangeable for) Company Shares, Merger Sub would no longer hold a majority of all Company Shares outstanding as of the record date for the Company
    Stockholders’ Meeting, and provided that no applicable Legal Requirement or Order shall prohibit the exercise of the 50% Top-Up Option or the delivery of the 50% Top-Up Option
    Shares in respect thereof, Merger Sub may exercise the 50% Top-Up Option, in whole but not in part, at any one time after the Appointment Time and prior to the earlier to occur of
    (i) the record date for the Company Stockholders’ Meeting and (ii) the termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms.

    (c) Any
    certificates evidencing 50% Top-Up Option Shares may include any legends required under federal or state securities laws.

    (d) Parent
    and Merger Sub understand that the Company Shares which Merger Sub may acquire upon exercise of the 50% Top-Up Option will not be registered under the
    Securities Act and will be issued in reliance upon an exemption thereunder for transactions not involving a public offering. Parent and Merger Sub represent and warrant to the Company that Merger Sub
    is, or will be upon the
    purchase of the 50% Top-Up Option Shares, an Accredited Investor, as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act. Merger Sub agrees that the 50%
    Top-Up Option and the 50% Top-Up Option Shares to be acquired upon exercise of the 50% Top-Up Option are being and will be acquired by Merger Sub for the purpose of
    investment and not with a view to or for resale in connection with any distribution thereof within the meaning of the Securities Act.

2.5 90% Top-Up Option.

    (a) The
    Company hereby irrevocably grants to Merger Sub an option (the “90% Top-Up Option“), exercisable only
    upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 2.5, to purchase that number of Company Shares (the “90%
    Top-Up Option Shares
    “) equal to the lowest number of Company Shares that, when added to the number of Company Shares owned by Merger Sub at the time of such
    exercise, shall constitute one share more than 90% of the Company Shares then outstanding (assuming the issuance of the 90% Top-Up Option Shares) at a price per share equal to the Offer
    Price; provided, however, that the 90% Top-Up Option shall not be exercisable unless immediately after such exercise and the issuance of
    Company Shares pursuant thereto, Merger Sub would own more than 90% of the Company Shares then outstanding (assuming the issuance of the 90% Top-Up Option Shares); and provided further, however, that in
    no event shall the 90% Top-Up Option be exercisable for a number of Company Shares in excess of the
    Company’s then authorized and unissued shares of Company Common Stock.

    (b) Provided
    that no applicable Legal Requirement or Order shall prohibit the exercise of the 90% Top-Up Option or the delivery of the 90% Top-Up
    Option Shares in respect thereof, Merger Sub may exercise the 90% Top-Up Option, in whole but not in part, at any one time after the Appointment Time and prior to the earlier to occur of
    (i) the Effective Time and (ii) the termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms.

    (c) Any
    certificates evidencing 90% Top-Up Option Shares may include any legends required under federal or state securities laws.

16

    (d) Parent
    and Merger Sub understand that the Company Shares which Merger Sub may acquire upon exercise of the 90% Top-Up Option will not be registered under the
    Securities Act and will be issued in reliance upon an exemption thereunder for transactions not involving a public offering. Parent and Merger Sub represent and warrant to the Company that Merger Sub
    is, or will be upon the purchase of the 90% Top-Up Option Shares, an Accredited Investor, as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act. Merger
    Sub agrees that the 90% Top-Up Option and the 90% Top-Up Option Shares to be acquired upon exercise of the 90% Top-Up Option are being and will be acquired by
    Merger Sub for the purpose of investment and not with a view to or for resale in connection with any distribution thereof within the meaning of the Securities Act.

      Company, in each case immediately prior to the Effective Time (whether pursuant to the Offer or otherwise) and (B) shares of Company Common Stock owned by stockholders who shall have neither
      voted in favor of the Merger nor consented thereto in writing and who shall have properly and validly exercised their dissenters’ rights of appraisal in respect of such shares of Company Common Stock
      in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL) shall be canceled and extinguished and automatically converted into the right to receive cash in an amount equal to the Offer Price, without interest
      thereon (the “Merger Consideration“), upon the surrender of the certificate representing such share of Company Common Stock in the manner provided in Section 3.8 hereof (or in the case of a lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, upon delivery of an affidavit (and bond, if required) in the
      manner provided in Section 3.10 hereof).

      (ii) Owned Company Common Stock. Each share of Company Common Stock owned by Parent, Merger Sub or the Company,
      or by any direct or indirect wholly-owned Subsidiary of Parent, Merger Sub or the Company, in each case immediately prior to the Effective Time (whether pursuant to the Offer or otherwise) shall be
      cancelled and extinguished without any conversion thereof or consideration paid therefor.

      (iii) Capital Stock of Merger Sub. Each share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Merger Sub that is
      issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into one (1) validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of common

18

      stock
      of the Surviving Corporation. Each certificate evidencing ownership of such shares of common stock of Merger Sub shall thereafter evidence ownership of shares of common stock of the Surviving
      Corporation.

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

    (c) Statutory Rights of Appraisal.

      (i) Notwithstanding
      anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, all shares of Company Common Stock that are issued and outstanding immediately prior to the
      Effective Time and held by stockholders who shall have neither voted in favor of the Merger nor consented thereto in writing and who shall have properly and validly exercised their statutory rights of
      appraisal in respect of such shares of Company Common Stock in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL (collectively, “Dissenting Company
      Shares
      “) shall not be converted into, or represent the right to receive, the Merger Consideration pursuant to this Section 3.7. Such stockholders shall be entitled to
      receive payment of the appraised value of such Dissenting Company Shares in accordance with
      the provisions of Section 262 of the DGCL, except that all Dissenting Company Shares held by stockholders who shall have failed to perfect or who shall have effectively withdrawn or lost their
      rights to appraisal of such Dissenting Company Shares under such Section 262 of the DGCL shall thereupon be deemed to have been converted into, and to have become exchangeable for, as of the
      Effective Time, the right to receive the Merger Consideration, without any interest thereon, upon surrender of the certificate or certificates that formerly evidenced such shares of Company Common
      Stock in the manner provided in Section 3.8 hereof.

      (ii) The
      Company shall give Parent (A) prompt notice of any demands for appraisal received by the Company, withdrawals of such demands, and any other instruments
      served pursuant to Delaware Law and received by the Company in respect of Dissenting Company Shares and (B) the opportunity to direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to demands
      for appraisal under Delaware Law in respect of Dissenting Company Shares. The Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of Parent, voluntarily make any payment with respect to any
      demands for appraisal or settle or offer to settle any such demands for payment in respect of Dissenting Company Shares.

    (d) Company Options; Company ESPP. At the Effective Time, (i) each Company Option then outstanding under
    any of the Company Option Plans shall be treated in accordance with the provisions of Section 7.11 hereof and (ii) each purchase right
    then outstanding under the Company ESPP shall be treated in accordance with the provisions of Section 7.11 hereof.

3.8 Exchange of Certificates.

    (a) Payment Agent. Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall select a bank or trust company reasonably
    acceptable to the Company to act as the payment agent for the Merger (the “Payment Agent“).

    (b) Exchange Fund. Promptly (and in any event within five (5) Business Days) following the Effective
    Time, Parent shall deposit (or cause to be deposited) with the Payment Agent, for payment to the holders of shares of Company Common Stock pursuant to the provisions of this Article III, an amount
    of cash equal to the product obtained by multiplying (x) the Merger Consideration and (y) the aggregate
    number of shares of Company Common Stock issued and

19

    outstanding
    immediately prior to the Effective Time (excluding shares of Company Common Stock then owned Parent, Merger Sub, the Company, or any direct or indirect, wholly-owned Subsidiary of Parent,
    Merger Sub or the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time (whether pursuant to the Offer or otherwise)) (such cash amount being referred to herein as the “Exchange
    Fund
    “).

    (c) Payment Procedures. Promptly (and in any event within five (5) Business Days) following the Effective
    Time, Parent and Merger Sub shall cause the Payment Agent to mail to each holder of record (as of immediately prior to the Effective Time) of a certificate or certificates (the
    Certificates“), which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding shares of Company Common Stock (other than Dissenting Company
    Shares) (i) a letter of transmittal in customary form (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of the
    Certificates to the Payment Agent) and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates in exchange for the Merger Consideration payable in respect thereof pursuant to
    the provisions of this Article III. Upon surrender of Certificates for cancellation to the Payment Agent or to such other agent or agents as may
    be appointed by Parent, together with such letter of transmittal, duly completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto, the holders of such Certificates shall be entitled to
    receive in exchange therefor the Merger Consideration payable in respect thereof pursuant to the provisions of this Article III, and the
    Certificates so surrendered shall forthwith be canceled. The Payment Agent shall accept such Certificates upon compliance with such reasonable terms and conditions as the Payment Agent may impose to
    effect an orderly exchange thereof in accordance with normal exchange practices. No interest shall be paid or accrued for the benefit of holders of the Certificates on the Merger Consideration payable
    upon the surrender of such Certificates pursuant to this Section 3.8. Until so surrendered, outstanding Certificates shall be deemed from and
    after the Effective Time, to evidence only the right to receive the Merger Consideration payable in respect thereof pursuant to the provisions of this Article III.

    (d) Transfers of Ownership. In the event that a transfer of ownership of shares of Company Common Stock is not
    registered in the stock transfer books or ledger of the Company, or if Merger Consideration is to be paid in a name other than that in which the Certificates surrendered in exchange therefor are
    registered in the stock transfer books or ledger of the Company, the Merger Consideration may be paid to a Person other than the Person in whose name the Certificate so surrendered is registered in
    the stock transfer books or ledger of the Company only if such Certificate is properly endorsed and otherwise in proper form for surrender and transfer and the Person requesting such payment has paid
    to Parent (or any agent designated by Parent) any transfer or other Taxes required by reason of the payment of Merger Consideration to a Person other than the registered holder of such
    Certificate, or established to the satisfaction of Parent (or any agent designated by Parent) that such transfer or other Taxes have been paid or are otherwise not payable.

    (e) Required Withholding. Each of the Payment Agent, Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall be entitled to
    deduct and withhold from any cash amounts payable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder or former holder of shares of Company Common Stock such amounts as may be required to be deducted or withheld
    therefrom under United States federal or state, local or foreign law. To the extent that such amounts are so deducted or withheld, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes under this Agreement
    as having been paid to the Person to whom such amounts would otherwise have been paid.

    (f) No Liability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, none of the Payment
    Agent, Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any other party hereto shall be liable to a holder of shares of Company Common Stock for any amount properly paid to a public official pursuant to any
    applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar law.

20

    (g) Distribution of Exchange Fund to Parent. Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains undistributed to the
    holders of the Certificates on the date that is six (6) months after the Effective Time shall be delivered to Parent upon demand, and any holders of shares of Company Common Stock that were
    issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Merger who have not theretofore surrendered their Certificates evidencing such shares of Company Common Stock for exchange pursuant to the provisions of
    this Section 3.8 shall thereafter look for payment of the Merger Consideration payable in respect of the shares of Company Common Stock evidenced
    by such Certificates solely to Parent, as general creditors thereof, for any claim to the applicable Merger Consideration to which such holders may be entitled pursuant to the provisions of this Article III.

3.9 No Further Ownership Rights in Company Common Stock. From and after the Effective Time, all shares of
Company Common Stock shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled, retired and cease to exist, and each holder of a Certificate theretofore representing any shares of Company
Common Stock (other than Dissenting Company Shares) shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the Merger Consideration payable therefor upon the surrender
thereof in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.8 hereof. The Merger Consideration paid in accordance with the terms of this Article III
shall be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such shares of the Company Common Stock. From and
after the Effective Time, there shall be no further registration of transfers on the records of the Surviving Corporation of shares of Company Common Stock that were issued and outstanding immediately
prior to the Effective Time, other than transfers to reflect, in accordance with customary settlement procedures, trades effected prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time,
Certificates are presented to the Surviving Corporation for any reason, they shall be canceled and exchanged as provided in this Article III.

3.10 Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. In the event that any Certificates shall have been lost, stolen or
destroyed, the Payment Agent shall issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificates, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the holder thereof, the Merger Consideration
payable in respect thereof pursuant to Section 3.7 hereof; provided, however, that Parent may, in
its discretion and as a condition precedent to the payment of such Merger Consideration, require the owners of such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificates to deliver a bond in such sum as it may
reasonably direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against Parent, the Surviving Corporation or the Payment Agent with respect to the Certificates alleged to have been lost, stolen or
destroyed.

3.11 Taking of Necessary Action; Further Action. If, at any time after the Effective Time, any further action is
necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement and to vest the Surviving Corporation with full right, title and possession to all assets, property, rights, privileges, powers and
franchises of the Company and Merger Sub, the directors and officers of the Surviving Corporation shall take all such lawful and necessary action on behalf of the Company and Merger Sub.

applicable
to such Section, the Company hereby represents and warrants to Parent and Merger Sub as follows:

4.1 Organization and Standing. The Company is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good
standing under Delaware Law. Each of the Company’s Subsidiaries is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its respective organization (to the
extent the “good standing” concept is applicable in the case of any jurisdiction outside the United States), except where the failure to be so in “good standing” would not reasonably be expected to
have a Company Material Adverse Effect. Each of the Company and its Subsidiaries has the requisite corporate power and authority to carry on its respective business as it is presently being conducted
and to own, lease or operate its respective properties and assets. Each of the Company and its Subsidiaries is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction where the
character of its properties owned or leased or the nature of its activities make such qualification necessary (to the extent the “good standing” concept is applicable in the case of any jurisdiction
outside the United States), except where the failure to be so qualified or in good standing would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Company Material Adverse Effect. The Company has
delivered or made available to Parent complete

minutes, the most recent drafts thereof) of all meetings of the stockholders, the Company Board and each standing committee of the Company Board other than those minutes relating to this transaction
or any alternatives to this transaction considered by the Board or any matters subject to attorney-client privilege or the disclosure of which is limited by Legal Requirements. Neither the Company nor
any of its Subsidiaries is in violation of its certificate of incorporation, bylaws or other applicable constituent documents, except for such violations that would not, individually or in the

    the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken together, as presently conducted in all material respects.

    (3) a “multiple employer plan” (as defined in Section 4063 or 4064 of ERISA) (in each case under clause (1), (2) or (3) whether or

34

    not
    subject to ERISA) or (4) subject to Section 302 of ERISA, Section 412 of the Code or Title IV of ERISA.

    (b) Each
    Employee Plan has been maintained, operated and administered in compliance in all material respects with its terms and with all applicable Legal Requirements and
    Collective Bargaining Agreements, including the applicable provisions of ERISA, the Code and the codes of practice issued by any Governmental Entity. To the extent applicable, each International
    Employee Plan has been approved by the relevant taxation and other Governmental Entities so as to enable: (i) the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and the participants and beneficiaries under
    the relevant International Employee Plan and (ii) in the case of any International Employee Plan under which resources are set aside in advance of the benefits being paid (a
    Funded International Employee Plan“), the assets held for the purposes of the Funded International Employee Plans, to enjoy the most favorable taxation
    status intended by the Company with respect to such plan and the Company is not aware of any ground on which such approval may cease to apply.

    (c) No
    Employee Plan that is subject to Section 409A of the Code has been materially modified (as defined under Section 409A of the Code) since
    October 3, 2004 and all such non-qualified deferred compensation plans or arrangements have been operated and administered in good faith compliance with Section 409A of the
    Code from the period beginning December 31, 2004 through the date hereof. To the Knowledge of the Company, no event has occurred and there currently exists no condition or set of circumstances
    in connection with which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries could be subject to any material liability under the terms of any Employee Plan (other than the benefits payable under the terms of such
    Employee Plan), ERISA, the Code or codes of practice issued by any Governmental Entity, Collective Bargaining Agreement or any other applicable Legal Requirements. Except as required by Legal
    Requirements, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has any plan or commitment to amend or establish any new Employee Plan or to continue or increase any benefits under any Employee Plan, or
    to maintain any such benefits or the level of any such benefits generally for any period.

    (d) There
    are no Legal Proceedings pending or, to the Knowledge of the Company, threatened on behalf of or against any Employee Plan, the assets of any trust under any
    Employee Plan, or the plan sponsor, plan administrator or any fiduciary or any Employee Plan with respect to the administration or operation of such plans, other than routine claims for benefits that
    have been or are being handled through an administrative claims procedure.

    (e) None
    of the Company, any of its Subsidiaries, or, to the Knowledge of the Company, any of their respective directors, officers, employees or agents has, with respect to
    any Employee Plan, engaged in or been a party to any non-exempt “prohibited transaction,” as such term is defined in Section 4975 of the Code or Section 406 of ERISA, which
    could reasonably be expected to result in the imposition of a material penalty assessed pursuant to Section 502(i) of ERISA or a material tax imposed by Section 4975 of the Code,
    in each case applicable to the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any Employee Plan or for which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries has any indemnification obligation.

    (f) No
    Employee Plan that is a “welfare benefit plan” within the meaning of Section 3(1) of ERISA provides benefits to former employees of the Company or its ERISA
    Affiliates, other than pursuant to Section 4980B of the Code or any similar state, local or foreign law.

    (g) Each
    Employee Plan that is intended to be “qualified” under Section 401 and/or 409 of the Code has received a favorable determination letter from the IRS to such
    effect and, to the Knowledge of the Company, no fact, circumstance or event has occurred or exists since the date of such determination letter that would reasonably be expected to materially and
    adversely affect the qualified status of any such Employee Plan.

35

    (h) All
    contributions, premiums and other payments required to be made with respect to any Employee Plan have been timely made, accrued or reserved for in all material
    respects.

    (i) Neither
    the execution or delivery of this Agreement nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including the Offer or the Merger) will,
    either alone or in conjunction with any other event, (i) result in any payment or benefit becoming due or payable, or required to be provided, to any director, employee or independent
    contractor of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, (ii) increase the amount or value of any benefit or compensation otherwise payable or required to be provided to any such director,
    employee or independent contractor, (iii) result in the acceleration of the time of payment, vesting or funding of any such benefit or compensation or (iv) result in any amount to fail
    to be deductible by reason of Section 280G of the Code.

    (j) No
    deduction for federal income tax purposes has been nor is any such deduction expected by the Company to be disallowed for remuneration paid by the Company or any of
    its Subsidiaries by reason of Section 162(m) of the Code including by reason of the transactions contemplated hereby.

    (k) All
    contracts of employment or for services with any employee of the Company or any of it Subsidiaries who provide services in United States, Israel, Germany, United
    Kingdom, Singapore or France (“Foreign Employees“), or with any director or consultant of or to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries can be terminated
    by three (3) months’ notice or less given at any time without giving rise to any claim for damages, severance pay, or compensation (other than a statutory redundancy payment applicable by
    virtue of Legal Requirements or compensation for unfair dismissal applicable by virtue of law or any equivalent remedy under applicable local law).

    (l) No
    promise has been made to any Foreign Employee that his defined contribution benefits under any Funded International Employee Plan will at any point in the future
    equate to or not be less than any particular amount. Furthermore, no International Employee Plan has liabilities, that as of the Closing Date, will not be offset in full by insurance or otherwise be
    fully accounted for on a basis which complies with International Accounting Standard 19 (IAS 19) (whether or not IAS 19 applies to the Company or, if relevant, any of its
    Subsidiaries).

    (m) Except
    as required by applicable Legal Requirements, no condition or term under any relevant Employee Plan Document exists which would prevent Parent or the Surviving
    Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries from terminating or amending any International Employee Plan at any time for any reason without liability to Parent or the Surviving Corporation or any of its
    Subsidiaries (other than ordinary administration expenses or routine claims for benefits).

4.19 Labor Matters.

    (a) Neither
    the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is a party to any Contract or arrangement between or applying to, one or more employees and a trade union, works council,
    group of employees or any other employee representative body, for collective bargaining or other negotiating or consultation purposes or reflecting the outcome of such collective bargaining or
    negotiation or consultation with respect to their respective employees with any labor organization, union, group, association, works council or other employee representative body, or is bound by any
    equivalent national or sectoral agreement (“Collective Bargaining Agreements“). To the Knowledge of the Company as of the date hereof, there are no
    activities or proceedings by any labor organization, union, group or association or representative thereof to organize any such employees. There are no lockouts, strikes, slowdowns, work stoppages or,
    to the Knowledge of the Company as of the date hereof, threats thereof by or with respect to any employees of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries which would have a Company Material Adverse Effect
    nor have there been any such lockouts, strikes, slowdowns or work stoppages since December 31, 2002.

36

    (b) The
    Company and its Subsidiaries (i) have complied in all material respects with applicable Legal Requirements and Orders relating to the employment of labor
    (including wage and hour laws, laws prohibiting discrimination in employment and laws relating to employee notification and consultation, terms and conditions of employment practices and health and
    safety at work of employees), except for such noncompliance as would not reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to have a Company Material Adverse Effect.

4.20 Real Property.

    (a) Neither
    the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries owns any real property.

    (b) Section 4.20(b)(i) of the Company Disclosure Schedule contains a complete and accurate list as of the date hereof
    of all of the existing material leases, subleases or other agreements (collectively, the “Leases“) under which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries
    uses or occupies or has the right to use or occupy, now or in the future, any real property (such property, the “Leased Real Property“) including, with
    respect to each Lease, the name of the lessor and the date of the Lease and each amendment thereto. The Company has heretofore made available to Parent true, correct and complete copies of all Leases
    (including all modifications, amendments, supplements, waivers and side letters thereto). The Company and/or its Subsidiaries have and own valid leasehold estates in the Leased Real Property, free and
    clear of all Liens other than Permitted Encumbrances. Section 4.20(b)(ii) of the Company Disclosure Schedule contains a complete and accurate
    list of all of the Leases as of the date hereof granting to any Person, other than the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, any right to use or occupy, now or in the future, any of the Leased Real
    Property. The Leases are each in full force and effect (other than any that have by operation of their terms expired or been terminated since the date hereof) and neither the Company nor any of its
    Subsidiaries is in material breach of or default under, or has received written notice of any material breach of or default under, any material Lease, and, to the Knowledge of the Company as of the
    date hereof, no event has occurred that with notice or lapse
    of time or both would constitute a material breach or default thereunder by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any other party thereto.

4.21 Assets; Personal Property. The Company and its Subsidiaries are in possession of and have good title to, or
valid leasehold interests in or valid rights under contract to use, such machinery, equipment, furniture, fixtures and other tangible personal property and assets owned, leased or used by the Company
or any of its Subsidiaries (collectively, the “Assets“), that are material to the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, free and clear of all
Liens other than Permitted Encumbrances, except for such lack of possession and for Liens that would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect on the Company.

4.22 Intellectual Property.

    (a) Section 4.22(a)(i) and Section 4.22(a)(ii) of the Company
    Disclosure Schedule contain, respectively, a complete and accurate list of (i) all products and services marketed by the Company or its Subsidiaries as of the date hereof and (ii) all
    products and service offerings that are in development as of the date hereof (other than updates or upgrades to existing products) and that the Company expects or intends to make available
    commercially prior to twelve months after the date hereof (such products described in clauses (i) and (ii), the “Company Products“), provided
    that the Company makes no representation or warranty that all such Company Products will in fact be made commercially available within twelve months or ever or that there are no other products that
    may become available in that time.

    (b) Section 4.22(b) of the Company Disclosure Schedule contains a complete and accurate list, as of the date hereof,
    of the following Owned Company IP: (i) all registered Trademarks and material unregistered Trademarks; (ii) all Patents and (iii) all registered Copyrights, in each case

37

    listing,
    as applicable, (A) the name of the applicant/registrant and current owner, (B) the jurisdiction where the application/registration is located and (C) the application or
    registration number. To the Knowledge of the Company, none of the Owned Company IP is invalid or unenforceable, except to the extent that such invalidity or unenforceability would not, individually or
    in the aggregate, give rise to a Company Material Adverse Effect.

    (c) Section 4.22(c) of the Company Disclosure Schedule contains a complete and accurate list, as of the date hereof,
    of the Company’s Domain Name registrations. Section 4.22(c) of the Company Disclosure Schedule identifies, for each Domain Name registration, the
    named owner, and the registrar or equivalent Person with whom that Domain Name is registered. To the Knowledge of the Company, the Company’s use and registration of its Domain Name registrations does
    not infringe any third party’s Intellectual Property Rights, except to the extent that such infringement would not, individually or in the aggregate, give rise to a Company Material Adverse Effect. In
    the case in which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries has acquired ownership of a Domain Name registration from another party, the
    Company or its Subsidiary has made or procured a transfer of the Domain Name in accordance with the procedure of the registrar, except in the case where the failure to do so, individually or in the
    aggregate, would not give rise to a Company Material Adverse Effect.

    (d) In
    each case in which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries has acquired ownership of any registered Trademarks, registered Copyrights, or Patents currently included in
    the Owned Company IP from another Person as set forth in Section 4.22(d) of the Company Disclosure Schedule the Company or one of its
    Subsidiaries has recorded or had recorded each such acquisition with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, the U.S. Copyright Office, or their respective equivalents in the applicable jurisdiction, in
    each case in accordance with applicable laws, except where the failure to do so, individually or in the aggregate, would not give rise to a Company Material Adverse Effect.

    (e) Section 4.22(e) of the Company Disclosure Schedule contains a complete and accurate list of all material Contracts
    in effect as of the date hereof, in each case specifying the parties to the agreement, (i) under which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries uses or has the right to use any Licensed Company
    IP, other than licenses and related services agreements for commercially available software that is used by the Company but not incorporated into any Company Products and that has not been
    substantially customized solely for use by Company or (ii) under which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries has licensed to others the right to use or agreed to transfer to others any of the
    Company IP, other than customer licenses and other agreements entered into in the ordinary course of business (such agreements, the “Company IP
    Agreements
    “). Except as set forth in any of the Company IP Agreements, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has granted any exclusive license under any Owned Company
    IP or any licenses to use any material Company Source Code (other than source code licenses granted in connection with source code escrows). To the Knowledge of the Company, no parties to the Company
    IP Agreements are in material breach thereof, except where such breach would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Company Material Adverse Effect. To the Knowledge of the Company, there are
    no pending disputes regarding the scope of any Company IP Agreements, performance under any Company IP Agreements, or with respect to payments made or received under any Company IP Agreements, except
    for disputes that will not, individually or in the aggregate, give rise to a Company Material Adverse Effect. To the Knowledge of the Company, all Company IP Agreements are binding and are in full
    force and effect, except for those Company IP Agreements that by their terms have expired or been terminated since the date hereof, and further except where the failure of a Company IP Agreement to be
    binding and in full force and effect would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Company Material Adverse Effect.

38

    (f) To
    the Knowledge of the Company, the Company IP is sufficient for the conduct of the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries as currently conducted. Without
    limiting the foregoing, to the Knowledge of the Company, the Company or its Subsidiaries have the right to use all software development tools, library functions, or compilers that the Company or its
    Subsidiaries (i) use to create, modify, compile, or support any material Company Product or (ii) use to provide any material services provided by the Company and its Subsidiaries.

    (g) The
    Company and its Subsidiaries own all right, title and interest in the Owned Company IP, free and clear of all Liens other than (i) encumbrances, restrictions
    or other obligations arising under any of the Company IP Agreements and (ii) Liens that do not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Company Material Adverse Effect.

    (h) The
    Company and each of its Subsidiaries has taken reasonable and appropriate steps to protect and preserve the confidentiality of the Trade Secrets that comprise any
    material part of the Company IP, and to the Knowledge of the Company, there are no unauthorized uses, disclosures or infringements of any such Trade Secrets by any Person that would reasonably be
    expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect. To the Company’s Knowledge, all use and disclosure by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries of Trade Secrets owned by another Person have been
    pursuant to the terms of a written agreement with such Person or was otherwise lawful, except to the extent that any use or disclosure of any Trade Secret owned by another Person that was not done in
    accordance with a written agreement does not and will not give rise to a Company Material Adverse Effect. Without limiting the foregoing, the Company and its Subsidiaries have a policy requiring
    employees and certain consultants and contractors to execute a confidentiality and assignment agreement substantially in the Company’s standard form previously provided to Parent. The Company and its
    Subsidiaries have enforced such policy, except where any failure to enforce would not reasonably be expected to give rise to a Company Material Adverse Effect.

    (i) To
    the Knowledge of the Company, none of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any of its or their current products or services or other operation of the Company’s
    or its Subsidiaries’ business has infringed upon or otherwise violated, or is infringing upon or otherwise violating, in any respect the Intellectual Property Rights of any third party, except where
    such infringement did not and would not reasonably be expected to give rise to a Company Material Adverse Effect. To the Knowledge of the Company as of the date hereof, no Person or any of such
    Person’s products or services or other operation of such Person’s business is infringing upon or otherwise violating any Company IP in any material respect.

    (j) There
    is no suit, claim, action, investigation or proceeding made, conducted or brought by a third party that has been served upon or, to the Knowledge of the Company,
    filed or threatened with respect
    to, and the Company has not been notified in writing of, any alleged infringement or other violation in any material respect by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any of its or their current
    products or services or other operation of the Company’s or its Subsidiaries’ business of the Intellectual Property Rights of such third party. To the Knowledge of the Company, there is no pending or
    threatened claim challenging the validity or enforceability of, or contesting the Company’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ rights with respect to, any of the Company IP. The Company and its Subsidiaries
    are not subject to any Order of any Governmental Entity that restricts or impairs the use of any Company IP, other than restrictions or impairments that would not, individually or in the aggregate,
    reasonably be expected to give rise to a Company Material Adverse Effect.

    (k) The
    execution and delivery of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby (including the Offer and the Merger) will not result in
    (i) the Company or its Subsidiaries granting to any third party any rights or licenses to any Intellectual Property or Intellectual Property Rights, (ii) any right of termination or
    cancellation under any Company IP

39

    Agreement,
    (iii) the imposition of any Lien on any Owned Company IP, except where any of the foregoing (in clauses (i) through (iii)) would not reasonably be expected to have a Company
    Material Adverse Effect or (iv) after the Merger, Parent or any of its Subsidiaries being required, under the terms of any agreement to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party,
    to grant any third party any material rights or licenses to any of Parent’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ material Intellectual Property or material Intellectual Property Rights.

    (l) To
    the Knowledge of the Company as of the date hereof, there are no design or other errors in the Company Products that permit unauthorized access to computers or
    systems of users through those Company Products and that will give rise to a Company Material Adverse Effect whether or not the Company uses commercially reasonable efforts to correct such errors. The
    Company and its Subsidiaries have taken reasonable steps and implemented reasonable procedures to try to prevent viruses and other disabling codes from entering Company Products. For the avoidance of
    doubt, any unauthorized access caused in whole or in part, by the operating systems, hardware or software of third parties, shall not be deemed to be caused by the Company Products.

    (m) To
    the Company’s Knowledge, Section 4.22(m) of the Company Disclosure Schedule contains a complete and accurate
    list as of the date hereof of all software that is distributed as “open source software” or under a similar licensing or distribution model (including but not limited to the GNU General Public
    License) that is incorporated into a Company Product.

    (n) To
    the Knowledge of the Company as of the date hereof, neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has experienced any defects in the software and hardware used in their
    business as it is currently conducted that have not been fully resolved, including any error or omission in the processing of any data, and that will give rise to a Company Material Adverse Effect.

    (o) To
    the Knowledge of the Company, none of the material Company Source Code for the Company Products has been published or disclosed by the Company or any of its
    Subsidiaries, except to its employees or advisers or pursuant to non-disclosure agreements, or, to the Knowledge of the Company, by any other person except as authorized by the Company
    under a non-disclosure agreement. To the Knowledge of the Company, no condition has occurred that would be sufficient to entitle the beneficiary under any source code escrow arrangement
    under which the Company has deposited any material Company Source Code for any Company Product to require release of such Company Source Code, other than conditions that relate to the solvency or
    financial condition of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or that relate to the involvement of the Company or its Subsidiaries in any bankruptcy, assignment for the benefit of creditors, or other
    activity or proceeding under state or federal law relating to insolvency or the protection of creditors. The consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby (including the Offer and the Merger)
    will not constitute a condition sufficient to entitle the beneficiary under any source code escrow arrangement under which the Company has deposited any material Company Source Code for any Company
    Product to require release of such Company Source Code.

    (p) The
    Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ collection and dissemination of personal customer information in connection with their business has been conducted in accordance with
    applicable privacy policies published or otherwise adopted by the Company and its Subsidiary and any applicable Legal Requirements, except where the failure to abide by any such policy or law would

    not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to give rise to a Company Material Adverse Effect.

4.23 Insurance. The Company and its Subsidiaries have all policies of insurance covering the Company, its
Subsidiaries or any of their respective employees, properties or assets, including policies of life, property, fire, workers’ compensation, products liability, directors’ and officers’ liability and
other casualty and liability insurance, which the Company reasonably believes are adequate for the operation of its business. All such insurance policies are in full force and effect, no notice of

40

cancellation
has been received, and there is no existing default or event which, with the giving of notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute a default, by any insured thereunder, except for
such defaults that would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Company Material Adverse Effect. There is no material claim pending under any of such policies as to which
coverage has been questioned, denied or disputed by the underwriters of such policies and there has been no threatened termination of, or material premium increase with respect to, any such policies.

4.24 Related Party Transactions. Except as set forth in the SEC Reports or compensation or other employment
arrangements in the ordinary course, there are no transactions, agreements, arrangements or understandings between the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and any Affiliate (including
any officer or director) thereof, but not including any wholly owned Subsidiary of the Company, on the other hand.

4.25 Vote Required. Assuming that the representations of Parent and Merger Sub contained in Section 5.6 hereof are
accurate, and if the holdings of Company Common Stock by Parent and/or Merger Sub do not meet the threshold required by
Section 253 of the DGCL, the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding Company Shares, voting together as a class (the “Requisite Stockholder
Approval
“), is the only vote of the holders of any class or series of the Company’s capital stock necessary (under applicable Legal Requirements or otherwise) to adopt this
Agreement and approve the Merger.

4.26 Brokers. Except for Goldman, Sachs & Co. (true and correct copies of whose engagement letter has
been furnished to Parent), there is no investment banker, broker, finder, agent or other Person that has been retained by or is authorized to act on behalf of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries
who is entitled to any financial advisor’s, brokerage, finder’s or other fee or commission in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby (including the Offer and the Merger).

4.27 Opinion of Financial Advisors. The Company has received the opinion of its financial advisor, Goldman,
Sachs & Co., dated the date hereof, to the effect that, as of such date and subject to the matters set forth in the opinion, the $52.00 in cash per share to be received by the holders of
Company Common Stock in the Offer and the Merger is fair from a financial point of view to such holders, and, as of the date of this Agreement, such opinion has not been withdrawn, revoked or
modified.

4.28 State Anti-Takeover Statutes. Assuming that the representations of Parent and Merger Sub
contained in Section 5.6 are accurate, the Company Board has taken all necessary actions so that the restrictions on business combinations set
forth in Section 203 of the DGCL and any other similar applicable law are not applicable to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, including the Offer and the Merger, or the
Tender and Voting Agreements or the transactions contemplated thereby. No other state takeover statute or similar statute or regulation applies to or purports to apply to the Offer, the Merger, the
Tender and Voting Agreements or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.

5.4 Offer Documents; Schedule 14D-9; Proxy Statement.

    (a) Except
    to the extent subsequently amended, modified or supplemented in a subsequently filed Offer Documents, the Offer Documents will comply as to form in all material
    respects with the applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary

    fiduciary duties to the Company Stockholders under Delaware Law, (iv) prior to effecting such Company Board Recommendation Change, the Company Board shall have given Parent at least five
    (5) Business Days notice thereof and the opportunity to meet with the Company Board and its outside legal counsel, all with the purpose and intent of enabling Parent and the Company to discuss
    in good faith a modification of the terms and conditions of this Agreement so that the transactions contemplated hereby may be effected and (v) Parent shall not have made, within five
    (5) Business Days after receipt of the Company’s written notice of its intention to effect a Company Board Recommendation Change, a counter-offer or proposal that the Company Board reasonably
    determines in good faith, after consultation with a financial advisor of nationally recognized standing and its outside legal counsel, is at least as favorable to Company Stockholders as such Superior
    Proposal.

    Stockholders under Delaware Law; provided, however, that, in any such case, any statement(s) made by the Company Board pursuant to the foregoing shall

    Meeting
    “) as promptly as practicable following the Appointment Time for the purpose of voting upon the adoption of this Agreement in accordance with Delaware Law. Nothing
    herein shall prevent the Company from postponing or adjourning the Company Stockholders’ Meeting if there are insufficient shares of the Company Common Stock necessary to conduct business at the

    stock of Merger Sub beneficially owned by it, or sign a written consent in lieu of a meeting of the stockholders of Merger Sub, in favor of the adoption of this Agreement in accordance with Delaware

    soon as practicable after such acquisition, without a meeting of the stockholders of the Company, in accordance with Section 253 of the DGCL.

7.4 Proxy Statement.

    information relating to the Company or Parent, or any of their respective directors, officers or Affiliates, should be discovered by the Company or Parent which should be set forth in an amendment or
    supplement to the Proxy Statement so that the Proxy Statement would not include any misstatement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in
    light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, the party which discovers such information shall promptly notify the other party or parties hereto, as the case may be, and an
    appropriate amendment or supplement to the Proxy Statement describing such information shall be promptly prepared and filed with the SEC and, to the extent required by applicable law,

50

    disseminated
    to the stockholders of the Company. The Company shall cause the Proxy Statement to comply as to form and substance in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the
    Exchange Act and the Nasdaq.

    (b) Unless
    this Agreement is earlier terminated pursuant to Article IX hereof, subject to the terms of Section 7.2(b) hereof, the Company shall include in
    the Proxy Statement the Company Board Recommendation (other than with respect to the Offer).

      (iii) obtain
      all necessary actions or non-actions, waivers, consents, approvals, Orders and authorizations from Governmental Entities, seek the expiration or
      termination of all applicable waiting periods under applicable Legal Requirements, and make all necessary registrations, declarations and filings with Governmental Entities; and

      (iv) execute
      or deliver any additional instruments reasonably necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated by, and to fully carry out the purposes of, this
      Agreement.

    (b) Without
    limiting the generality of the foregoing provisions of Section 7.5(a) hereof, each of Parent and the
    Company shall file, as soon as may be reasonably practicable (and in any event within ten (10) Business Days) following the execution and delivery of this Agreement, with the FTC and the
    Antitrust Division of the DOJ a Notification and Report Form relating to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (including the Offer and the Merger) as required by the HSR Act, and,
    as soon as may be reasonably practical following the execution and delivery of this Agreement, any comparable pre-merger notification filings, forms and submissions with any foreign
    Governmental Entity that may be required by the merger notification or control laws and regulations of any applicable foreign jurisdiction or be deemed desirable by Parent, in each case as Parent may
    deem necessary and/or appropriate. Each of Parent and the Company shall promptly (i) cooperate and coordinate with the other in the making of such filings, (ii) supply the other with any
    information that may be required in order to effectuate such filings and (iii) supply any additional information that reasonably may be required or requested by the FTC, the DOJ or the
    competition or merger control authorities of any other jurisdiction and that Parent reasonably deems necessary and/or appropriate. Each party hereto shall promptly inform the other party or parties
    hereto, as the case may be, of any communication from any Governmental Entity regarding any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including the Offer and the Merger). If any party hereto
    or Affiliate thereof receives a request for additional information or documentary material from any such Governmental Entity with respect to the transactions

51

    contemplated
    by this Agreement (including the Offer and the Merger), then such party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to make, or cause to be made, as soon as reasonably practicable and after
    consultation with the other party, an appropriate response in compliance with such request.

    (c) Without
    limiting the generality of the foregoing provisions of Section 7.5(a) hereof, in the event that any state
    anti-takeover or other similar statute or regulation is or becomes applicable to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including the Offer and the
    Merger), the Company, at the direction of the Company Board, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including the Offer and the
    Merger) may be consummated as promptly as practicable on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, and otherwise to minimize the effect of such statute or regulation on this
    Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (including the Offer and the Merger).

    (d) Notwithstanding
    anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to require Parent or the Company or any Subsidiary
    thereof to agree to any divestiture by itself or any of its Affiliates of shares of capital stock or of any business, assets or property, or the imposition of any limitation on the ability of any of
    them to conduct their business or to own or exercise control of such assets, properties and stock, in each case in a manner that would be reasonably expected to have a material adverse effect on
    Parent’s Software business segment or to materially and adversely affect the benefits expected to be derived from the transactions contemplated by the Agreement, including the Offer and the Merger.

7.6 Access. At all times during the period commencing with the execution and delivery of this Agreement and
continuing until the earlier to occur of the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Article IX and the Appointment Time, the Company shall
afford Parent and its accountants, legal counsel and other representatives reasonable access during normal business hours, upon reasonable notice, to the properties, books and records and personnel of
the Company to enable Parent to obtain all information concerning the business, including the status of product development efforts, properties, results of operations and personnel of the Company, as
Parent may reasonably request; provided, however, that no information or Knowledge obtained by Parent in any investigation conducted pursuant to this Section 7.6 shall affect or be deemed to modify any representation or warranty of the Company set forth herein or the conditions to the
obligations of Parent and Merger Sub to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, including the Offer and the Merger, or the remedies available to the parties hereunder; and provided further,
that the terms and conditions of the Confidentiality Agreement (as amended pursuant to Section 7.9 hereof) shall apply to any information provided to Parent pursuant to this Section 7.6.

7.7 Notification.

    (a) At
    all times during the period commencing with the execution and delivery of this Agreement and continuing until the earlier to occur of the termination of this
    Agreement pursuant to Article IX and the Appointment Time, the Company shall give prompt notice to Parent upon becoming aware that any
    representation or warranty made by it in this Agreement has become untrue or inaccurate in any material respect, or of any failure of the Company to comply with or satisfy in any material respect any
    covenant, condition or agreement to be complied with or satisfied by it under this Agreement; provided, however, that no such notification shall affect
    or be deemed to modify any representation or warranty of the Company set forth herein or the conditions to the obligations of Parent and Merger Sub to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby,
    including the Offer and the Merger, or the remedies available to the parties hereunder; and provided further, that the terms and conditions of the
    Confidentiality Agreement

52

    (as
    amended pursuant to Section 7.9 hereof) shall apply to any information provided to Parent pursuant to this Section 7.7(a).

    (b) At
    all times during the period commencing with the execution and delivery of this Agreement and continuing until the earlier to occur of the termination of this
    Agreement pursuant to Article IX and the Appointment Time, the Company shall use its best efforts to give prompt notice to Parent of
    (i) any notice or other communication received by it from any third party, subsequent to the date of this Agreement and prior to the Appointment Time, to which the Company has Knowledge
    alleging any material breach of or material default under any Material Contract to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or (ii) any notice or other communication received by
    the Company or any of its Subsidiaries from any third party, subsequent to the date of this Agreement and prior to the Appointment Time, to which the Company has Knowledge alleging that the consent of
    such third party is or may be required in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including the Offer and the Merger); provided,
    however
    , that no such notification shall affect or be deemed to modify any representation or warranty of the Company set forth herein or the conditions to the obligations of
    Parent and Merger Sub to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, including the Offer and the Merger, or the remedies available to the parties hereunder; and provided further, that the terms
    and conditions of the Confidentiality Agreement (as amended pursuant to Section 7.9 hereof) shall apply to any information provided to Parent
    pursuant to this Section 7.7(b).

    (c) At
    all times during the period commencing with the execution and delivery of this Agreement and continuing until the earlier to occur of the termination of this
    Agreement pursuant to Article IX and the Appointment Time, Parent shall give prompt notice to the Company upon becoming aware that any
    representation or warranty made by it or Merger Sub in this Agreement has become untrue or inaccurate in any material respect, or of any failure of Parent or Merger Sub to comply with or satisfy in
    any material respect any covenant, condition or agreement to be complied with or satisfied by it under this Agreement; provided, however, that no such
    notification shall affect or be deemed to modify any representation or warranty of the Company set forth herein or the conditions to the obligations of Parent and Merger Sub to consummate the
    transactions contemplated hereby, including the Offer and the Merger, or the remedies available to the parties hereunder and provided further, that the
    terms and conditions of the Confidentiality Agreement (as amended pursuant to Section 7.9) shall apply to any information provided to the Company
    pursuant to this Section 7.7(c).

7.8 Certain Litigation. The Company shall promptly notify Parent of any litigation commenced after the date
hereof against the Company or any of its directors by any Company Stockholders (on their own behalf or on behalf of the Company) relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby
(including the Offer and the Merger) and shall keep Parent reasonably informed regarding any such litigation. The Company shall give Parent the opportunity to consult with the Company regarding the
defense or settlement of any such stockholder litigation and shall consider Parent’s views with respect to such stockholder litigation and shall not settle any such stockholder litigation without the
prior written consent of Parent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be required to provide any notice or information to Parent the provision of which the Company in good faith
determines may adversely affect the Company’s or any other person’s attorney client or other privilege with respect to such information.

7.9 Confidentiality. Parent, Merger Sub and the Company hereby acknowledge that Parent and the Company have
previously executed a Confidentiality Agreement, dated January 30, 2006 (as amended, the “Confidentiality Agreement“), which will continue in
full force and effect in accordance with its terms; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, effective as of the execution and delivery
hereof, the Confidentiality Agreement shall be deemed to be amended so as to permit Parent to take any action contemplated by this Agreement, including the making of any counter-offer or

53

proposal
as contemplated by Section 7.2(b) or Section 9.1(d)(ii) hereof (which deemed
amendment shall survive any termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms or otherwise).

7.10 Public Disclosure. Parent, Merger Sub and the Company shall consult with each other, and to the extent
practicable, agree, before issuing any press release or otherwise making any public statement with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (including the Offer and the
Merger) or any Acquisition Proposal, and shall not issue any such press release or make any such public statement prior to such consultation, except as may be required by applicable law or any listing
agreement with a national securities exchange, in which case commercially reasonable efforts to consult with the other party hereto shall be made prior to any such release or public statement.

7.11 Company Options; Company ESPP.

    (a) Company Options.

      (i) Outstanding Options That Are Not Assumed by Parent. Parent shall not assume any, or portion of any, Company
      Option that (A) is held by a person who is not an employee or service provider of Parent or a Subsidiary of Parent immediately after the Effective Time, as reasonably determined by Parent in
      its sole discretion, (B) is outstanding and vested and exercisable (after taking into account the effect of the accelerated vesting contained in this Section 7.11(a)(i) or any
      contract or arrangement providing for the accelerated vesting of outstanding options) immediately prior to the Effective Time, unless such Company Option has an exercise price, immediately prior to
      the Effective Time, that is equal to or greater than the Merger Consideration, (C) is subject to the Legal Requirements of a non-U.S. jurisdiction and/or held by an employee of the
      Company or any of its Subsidiaries located in a non-U.S. jurisdiction and which Parent determines may not be converted into an Assumed Company Option (as defined in the paragraph below),
      (1) under the applicable laws or regulatory requirements of the relevant non-U.S. jurisdiction (including by reason of a failure to obtain any required regulatory consents or
      approvals after making reasonable commercial efforts) or (2) under the generally applicable policies and practices of Parent with respect to the grant of equity awards in the relevant
      non-U.S. jurisdiction; provided, however, any such Company Options that are not assumed by Parent under this subsection (C) shall be
      accelerated in full so that each such option is fully vested and exercisable immediately prior to the Effective Time, or (D) is held by a non-employee member of the Company Board; provided, however,
      that any such Company Options that are not assumed by Parent under this subsection (D) shall be accelerated in full so that
      each such option is fully vested and exercisable immediately prior to the Appointment Time, in the event that any such non-employee member of the Company Board shall leave the Company
      Board at the Appointment Time, and extend the post-termination exercise period for such Company Options until the earlier of the latest possible date permitted under Section 409A of
      the Code and the regulations (including proposed regulations) promulgated thereunder and the date that includes the Effective Time but in no event beyond the expiration date of the Company Option, or
      immediately prior to the Effective Time, in the event that any such non-employee member of the Company Board shall remain on the Company Board following the Appointment Time (each, such
      Company Option or portion thereof, a “Cancelled Company Option“). Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, at the
      Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or the holders of Cancelled Company Options, each Cancelled Company Option shall be
      cancelled and extinguished and automatically converted into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to the product obtained by multiplying (x) the aggregate number of shares of Company
      Common Stock that were issuable upon exercise of such Cancelled Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time and (y) the Merger Consideration less the per share exercise price of such
      Cancelled Company Option (the “Option Consideration“) (it being

54

      understood
      and agreed that such exercise price shall not actually be paid to the Company by the holder of a Cancelled Company Option). Parent shall, or shall cause the Company to, pay to holders of
      Cancelled Company Options the Option Consideration less applicable Taxes required to be withheld with respect to such payments. To the extent that such amounts are so deducted or withheld, such
      amounts shall be treated for all purposes under this Agreement as having been paid to the Person to whom such amounts would otherwise have been paid.

      (ii) Outstanding Company Options Assumed by Parent. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without
      any action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or the holders of Company Options, except as otherwise required by applicable Legal Requirements, Parent shall assume each Company Option or
      portion of a Company Option that is not a Cancelled Company Option (an
      Assumed Company Option“). Each Company Option assumed by the Parent will continue to have, and be subject to the same material terms and conditions of
      such option immediately prior to the Effective Time, including, without limitation, the vesting restrictions, if applicable, except that (A) each Assumed Company Option will be exercisable (or
      will become exercisable in accordance with its terms) for a number of whole shares of Parent Common Stock equal to the product of the number of shares of Company Common Stock that would be issuable
      upon exercise of the Assumed Company Option outstanding at the Effective Time multiplied by a quotient obtained by dividing (x) the per share Merger Consideration by (y) the average
      closing price of Parent Common Stock on the NYSE for the five consecutive trading days immediately preceding (but not including) the Closing Date (the “Exchange
      Ratio
      ” which shall be calculated to at least five decimal places), rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares of Parent Common Stock, and (B) the per share
      exercise price for the Parent Common Stock issuable upon exercise of such Assumed Company Option will be equal to the quotient determined by dividing the per share exercise price for such Assumed
      Company Option outstanding at the Effective Time by the Exchange Ratio, rounded up to the nearest whole cent. It is the intention of the parties that each Assumed Company Option shall qualify
      following the Effective Time as an incentive stock option as defined in Section 422 of the Code to the extent permitted under Section 422 of the Code and to the extent such Assumed
      Company Option qualified as an incentive stock option at the Effective Time. The exercise price and the number of shares purchasable pursuant to each Assumed Company Option as well as the terms and
      conditions of exercise of such option shall be determined in order to comply with Sections 424(a) and 409A of the Code.

      (iii) Further Actions. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall provide notice (subject to reasonable
      review by Parent) to each holder of Company Options describing the treatment of such Company Options in accordance with this Section 7.11. As
      soon as reasonably practicable following the execution and delivery of this Agreement and conditional upon the Closing, the Company Board shall make all determinations reasonably necessary under each
      of the Company Option Plans to accomplish the transactions contemplated by this Section 7.11 and if, to the extent necessary and practicable, to
      reflect the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including the Offer and the Merger). Conditional upon the Closing, the Company shall take all appropriate or necessary steps to effect the
      termination of the Company Option Plans as of the Effective Time, except with respect to the administration of the Assumed Company Options. Parent shall take all corporate action necessary to reserve
      for issuance a sufficient number of shares of Parent Common Stock for delivery upon exercise of the Assumed Company Options pursuant to the terms set forth in this Section 7.11.

      (iv) Section 16. The Company Board shall, to the extent necessary, take appropriate action, prior to or
      as of the Effective Time, to approve, for purposes of Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, the deemed disposition and cancellation of the Company Options in the

55

      Merger.
      Provided that Company shall first provide to Parent the names of its stockholders and the number of shares of Company Capital Stock or Company Options which may be subject to
      Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act and any other information reasonably requested by Parent and relating to the same, the Board of Directors of Parent shall, prior to the Effective Time, take
      appropriate action to approve, for purposes of Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, the deemed grant of options to purchase Parent Common Stock under the Company Options (as assumed pursuant
      hereto).

      (v) Form S-8. Parent shall file with the SEC, no later than fifteen (15) Business Days
      after the Effective Time, a registration statement on Form S-8 (or any successor form or other appropriate forms) relating to Parent Common Stock issuable pursuant to assumed awards
      under the Company Option Plans and shall use its reasonable best efforts to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement or registration statements (and maintain the current status of the
      prospectus or prospectuses contained therein) for so long as such awards remain outstanding. Parent shall use its commercially reasonable best efforts to cause shares of Parent Common Stock, when
      issued upon exercise of Assumed Company Options, to be approved for quotation on the NYSE and such exchanges as Parent shall determine.

      (vi) 409A. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall take all necessary actions to permit holders of all
      Company Options that will be Cancelled Company Options, and which are subject to the penalty tax under Section 409A of the Code (the “409A Penalty
      Tax
      “), to elect fixed payment terms (including payment in connection with a “change in the ownership or effective control of a corporation”) for such Cancelled Company Options
      as permitted under the proposed regulations and related guidance under Section 409A of the Code (the “409A Correction“). The 409A Correction
      shall be conducted in a manner consistent and compliant with Section 409A of the Code and the regulations (including proposed regulations) promulgated thereunder as well as all other applicable
      laws. The 409A Correction shall not by itself result in the accelerated vesting of any Company Options. After the Effective Time and before the end of the transition period under Section 409A
      of the Code that permits the correction of discounted stock options, Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to commence an offer to modify all Company Options that will be Assumed Company
      Options that are subject to the 409A Penalty Tax (the “409A Offer“) to increase the exercise price of such options as necessary so that such options
      shall not be subject to the 409A Penalty Tax. Each eligible holder of Assumed Company Options who participates in the 409A Offer and holds Assumed Company Options that are unvested at the Effective
      Time shall receive a cash payment in an amount equal to the aggregate increase in exercise price of such modified Assumed Company Options. The 409A Offer shall be conducted in a manner consistent and
      compliant with Section 409A of the Code and the regulations (including proposed regulations) promulgated thereunder as well as all other applicable laws. Parent, in its sole discretion, may
      permit certain holders of Assumed Company Options, which are vested at the Effective Time, to participate in a 409A Correction instead of a 409A Offer. In the event the 409A Offer is not commenced
      before the end of the transition period under Section 409A of the Code, Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to allow each holder of Assumed Company Options to participate in a 409A
      Correction prior to the end of the transition period under Section 409A of the Code.

    (b) Company ESPP. At least ten (10) Business Days prior to the Effective Time, each outstanding purchase
    right under the Company ESPP (each, a “Purchase Right“) shall be cancelled and converted into the right to receive at the Effective Time from Parent,
    for each share of Company Common Stock issuable under such Purchase Right, an amount (subject to any applicable withholding tax) in cash equal to the product of (i) the number of shares of
    Company Common Stock issuable to the holder of such Purchase Right had such Purchase Right been

56

    exercised
    immediately prior to the Effective Time and (ii) the amount by which the Merger Consideration exceeds the purchase price under such Purchase Right. Within five (5) days
    following the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Company to return to participants their respective accumulated payroll contributions not applied to the purchase of Company Common Stock under the
    Company ESPP, if any. Parent agrees that from and after the Effective Time, Continuing Employees may participate in Parent’s employee stock purchase plan, if any, subject to the terms and conditions
    of such plan.

7.12 Employee Matters.

    (a) On
    or before the Appointment Time and to the extent permissible under applicable Legal Requirements, the Company shall amend any and all 401(k) plans maintained by the
    Company or any of its Subsidiaries to eliminate all installment and annuity forms of payment, and no later than ten (10) calendar days after the Appointment Time, the Company shall provide
    affected participants with a summary of such amendment that satisfies the requirements of 29 CFR 2520.104b-3. The Company shall adopt resolutions to terminate any and all
    401(k) plans maintained by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, to be effective as of the day immediately preceding the date the Company becomes a member of the same Controlled Group of
    Corporations (as defined in Section 414(b) of the Code) as Parent (the “401(k) Termination Date“). The Company shall provide Parent evidence that
    such resolutions to terminate the 401(k) plan(s) of the Company and its Subsidiaries have been adopted by the Company Board or the board of directors of its Subsidiaries, as applicable. The form and
    substance of such resolutions shall be subject to the reasonable approval of Parent. The Company shall also take such other actions in furtherance of terminating any such 401(k) Plans as Parent may
    reasonably request. As soon as practicable following the 401(k) Termination Date, Parent shall permit all employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries who were eligible to participate in any 401(k)
    plan maintained by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries immediately prior to the 401(k) Termination Date to participate in Parent’s 401(k) plan, and shall permit each Continuing Employee to elect to
    roll over his or her account balance from any terminated 401(k) plan maintained by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, including any outstanding participant loans from such 401(k) plans, to
    Parent’s 401(k) plan.

    From
    and after the Effective Time, Parent shall permit all Continuing Employees who become employees of Parent or any Subsidiary of Parent to participate in the benefit programs of
    Parent or the Subsidiary to the same extent as similarly situated employees of Parent or the Subsidiary. In the U.S., Continuing Employees shall be given credit for all service with the Company or its
    U.S. Subsidiaries solely for purposes of determining their rate of vacation accrual under Parent’s standard procedure, and for eligibility to participate in, and vesting of benefits under, Parent’s
    401(k) plan. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, a U.S. Continuing Employee shall be paid severance in the event of an involuntary termination (and not for cause) from Parent during a period
    beginning at the Effective Time and ending on the first (1st) anniversary of the Effective Time in an amount calculated under the Company’s severance policy and using such Continuing
    Employee’s most recent continuous period of service with the Company and Parent through date of termination; provided, however, that the rejection of an
    offer of employment from Parent at the same base salary shall not constitute an involuntary termination; provided, further, that this sentence shall in no way limit, restrict or otherwise affect the
    benefits payable to any individual under the terms of any written agreement with the Company or one of its Subsidiaries (A) in effect on the date hereof and. which has been disclosed in the
    Company Disclosure Schedule or (B) subsequently approved by Parent pursuant to Section 6.2(b). Parent shall provide Continuing Employees
    outside the U.S. no more than the minimum credit for service with the Company or its Subsidiaries required by applicable Legal Requirements. From and after the Effective Time, Parent shall
    (i) cause any pre-existing conditions or limitations and eligibility waiting periods under any U.S. group health plans of Parent or its Subsidiaries to be waived with respect to the
    Continuing

57

    Employees
    and their eligible dependents and (ii) give each of the Continuing Employee in the U.S. credit for the plan year in which the Effective Time occurs toward applicable deductibles and
    annual out of pocket limits for expenses incurred prior to the Effective Time for which payment has been made. Unused vacation days accrued by U.S. Continuing Employees under the plans and policies of
    the Company and its Subsidiaries shall carry over to Parent or the Surviving Corporation to the extent administratively practicable, and each such Continuing Employee shall be paid by the Company in
    cash for any accrued and unused vacation days that Parent determines are not administratively practicable to continue to honor.

    (b) The
    Company shall terminate any and all group severance, separation, deferred compensation or salary continuation plans, programs or arrangements maintained by the
    Company or any of its Subsidiaries, effective in each case immediately prior to the Effective Time. For the avoidance of doubt, no agreement or other arrangement between the Company and any individual
    shall be considered a “group” plan, program or arrangement for purposes of the preceding sentence. The Company shall provide Parent evidence that such plans have been terminated pursuant to
    resolutions of the Company Board or the board of directors of its Subsidiaries, as applicable (the form and substance of which resolutions shall be subject to review and reasonable approval of
    Parent).

    (c) The
    Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to consult with Parent (and consider in good faith the advice of Parent) prior to sending any notices or other
    communication materials to any employees of the Company or its Subsidiaries.

7.13 Directors’ and Officers’ Indemnification and Insurance.

    (a) Parent
    shall, and shall cause the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries to, honor and fulfill in all respects the obligations of the Company and its Subsidiaries
    under any and all indemnification agreements in effect immediately prior to the Appointment Time between the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and any of their respective current or former directors
    and officers and any person who becomes a director or officer of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries prior to the Appointment Time (the “Indemnified
    Parties
    “) with respect to any action, suit or proceeding commenced within six (6) years following the Appointment Time arising out of facts or circumstances occurring or
    existing prior to the Appointment Time. In addition, for a period of six (6) years following the Effective Time, Parent shall (and shall cause the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries to)
    cause the certificate of incorporation and bylaws (and other similar organizational documents) of the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries to contain provisions with respect to indemnification,
    advancement of expenses and exculpation that are at least as favorable as the indemnification, advancement of expenses and exculpation provisions contained in the certificate of incorporation and
    bylaws (or other similar organizational documents) of the Company and its Subsidiaries immediately prior to the Appointment Time, and during such six (6) year period, such provisions shall not
    be amended, repealed or otherwise modified in any manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of individuals who were covered by such provisions, except as required by Legal Requirements.

    (b) For
    a period of six (6) years after the Appointment Time, Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall maintain in effect the Company’s current directors’ and
    officers’ liability insurance (“D&O Insurance“) in respect of acts or omissions occurring (or allegedly occurring) at or prior to the Appointment Time,
    on terms and conditions no less favorable to the insured persons than those of the D&O Insurance in effect on the date of this Agreement; provided,
    however
    , that the Surviving Corporation may, at its option:

      (i) substitute
      therefor policies of Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective Subsidiaries containing terms and conditions no less favorable to the
      insured persons than the D&O Insurance that are with carriers with the same or better rating as the carrier of the D&O Insurance as of the date of this Agreement; or

58

      (ii) request,
      at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the Appointment Time, that the Company obtain such extended reporting period coverage under its existing
      insurance program (to be effective as of the Effective Time);

    provided further, however, that in satisfying its obligations under this Section 7.13(b), Parent
    and the Surviving Corporation shall not be obligated to pay annual premiums in excess of three hundred percent (300%) of the amount paid by the Company for coverage for its last full fiscal year (such
    three hundred percent (300%) amount, the “Maximum Annual Premium“) (which premiums the Company represents and warrants to be as set forth in Section 7.13 of the Company Disclosure Schedule), provided, further, that if the annual premiums
    of such insurance coverage exceed such amount, Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall be obligated to obtain a policy with the greatest coverage available for a cost not exceeding the Maximum
    Annual Premium. Prior to the Appointment Time, notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, Parent may purchase a “tail” prepaid policy on the D&O Insurance for a period of
    six (6) years from the Appointment Time on terms and conditions no less favorable to the insured persons than the D&O Insurance from carriers with the same or better rating as the carrier of
    the D&O Insurance as of the date of this Agreement. In the event that Parent shall purchase such a “tail” policy prior to the Appointment Time, Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall maintain such
    “tail” policy in full force and effect and continue to honor their respective obligations thereunder, in lieu of all other obligations of Parent and the Surviving Corporation under the first sentence
    of this Section 7.13(b) for so long as such “tail” policy shall be maintained in full force and effect.

    (c) If
    Parent or the Surviving Corporation or any of its successors or assigns shall (i) consolidate with or merge into any other Person and shall not be the
    continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfer all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case,
    proper provisions shall be made so that the successors and assigns of the Surviving Corporation shall assume all of the obligations of Parent and the Surviving Corporation set forth in this Section 7.13.

    (d) The
    obligations under this Section 7.13 shall not be terminated, amended or otherwise modified in such a manner as
    to adversely affect any Indemnified Party (or any other person who is a beneficiary under the D&O Insurance or the “tail” policy referred to in Section 7.13(b) hereof (and their heirs and
    representatives)) without the prior written consent of such affected Indemnified Party or other
    person who is a beneficiary under the D&O Insurance or the “tail” policy referred to in Section 7.13(b) hereof (and their heirs and
    representatives). Each of the Indemnified Parties or other persons who are beneficiaries under the D&O Insurance or the “tail” policy referred to in Section 7.13(b) hereof (and their heirs and
    representatives) are intended to be third party beneficiaries of this Section 7.13, with full rights of enforcement as if a party thereto. The rights of the Indemnified Parties (and other persons
    who are
    beneficiaries under the D&O Insurance or the “tail” policy referred to in Section 7.13(b) hereof (and their heirs and representatives)) under
    this Section 7.13 shall be in addition to, and not in
    substitution for, any other rights that such persons may have under the certificate or articles of incorporation, bylaws or other equivalent organizational documents, any and all indemnification
    agreements of or entered into by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or applicable Legal Requirements (whether at law or in equity).

    (e) The
    obligations and liability of Parent, the Surviving Corporation and their respective Subsidiaries under this Section 7.13 shall be joint and several.

    (f) Neither
    Parent nor the Surviving Corporation shall settle any litigation or other suit, action or proceeding to which an Indemnified Party is a party on terms obligating
    it to breach its obligations under this Section 7.13. In addition, Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall consider whether any such
    settlement not involving the Indemnified Party would reasonably be

59

    expected
    to have a prejudicial effect on such Indemnified Party to continue to defend such litigation, suit, action or proceeding on his or its own behalf.

7.14 FIRPTA Certificate. On or prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall deliver to Parent a properly
executed statement in a form reasonably acceptable to Parent for purposes of satisfying Parent’s obligations under Treasury Regulation Section 1.1445-2(c)(3).

7.15 Obligations of Merger Sub. Parent shall take all action necessary to cause Merger Sub and the Surviving
Corporation to perform their respective obligations under this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the Offer and the Merger, upon the terms and

60

    any

    or on the Initial Termination Date, until March 31, 2007 following the date of commencement of the Offer (the “Extended Termination Date“); and provided,
    further
    , that the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.1(c)

    shall not be available to any party hereto whose action or failure to fulfill any obligation under this Agreement has been the principal cause of or resulted (i) in any of the conditions to the
    Offer set forth in Annex A hereto having failed to be satisfied on or before the Initial Termination Date or the Extended Termination Date, as applicable, or (ii) in the expiration or
    termination of the Offer in accordance with the terms hereof without Merger Sub (or Parent on Merger Sub’s behalf) having accepted for payment any Company Shares pursuant to the Offer, and in either

    (d) by
    the Company:

      (i) in
      the event (A) of a breach of any covenant or agreement on the part of Parent or Merger Sub set forth in this Agreement or (B) that any of the
      representations and warranties of Parent and Merger Sub set forth in this Agreement shall have been inaccurate when made or shall have become inaccurate, in either case so as to prevent Parent and
      Merger Sub from consummating the Offer in accordance with the terms hereof; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that
      such breach by Parent or Merger Sub or such inaccuracies in the representations and warranties of Parent or Merger Sub are curable by Parent or Merger Sub through the exercise of commercially
      reasonable efforts, then the Company shall not be permitted to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.1(d)(i) until the earlier to
      occur of (1) the expiration of a thirty (30) calendar day period after delivery of written notice from the Company to Parent of such breach or inaccuracy, as applicable or
      (2) Parent or Merger Sub ceasing to exercise commercially reasonable efforts to cure such breach or inaccuracy, provided that Parent or Merger Sub continues to exercise commercially reasonable
      efforts
      to cure such breach or inaccuracy (it being understood that the Company may not terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.1(d)(i) if
      such breach or inaccuracy by Parent or Merger Sub is cured within such thirty (30) calendar day period); or

      (ii) immediately
      prior to entering into a definitive agreement with respect to a Superior Proposal, provided that (A) the Company received such Superior Proposal

      Acquisition Proposal that was a precursor thereto), (C) subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Company Board has effected a Company Board Recommendation Change in response to such Superior
      Proposal and authorized the Company to enter into such definitive agreement for such Superior Proposal (which authorization may be subject to termination of this Agreement), (D) the Company has

      termination of this Agreement, the Company pays to Parent the Termination Fee Amount payable pursuant to Section 9.4(b)(iii) hereof, and
      (G) immediately following the termination of this Agreement, the Company enters into such definitive agreement to effect such Superior Proposal; or

    (e) by
    Parent:

      (i) in
      the event (A) of a material breach of any covenant or agreement on the part of the Company set forth in this Agreement or (B) that any representation
      or warranty of the Company set forth in this Agreement shall have been inaccurate when made or shall have become inaccurate, in either case such that the conditions to the Offer set forth in clauses
      (C)(1) or (C)(2) of Annex A hereto, respectively, would not be satisfied as of the time of such breach or as of the time such representation and
      warranty became inaccurate; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that such breach by the Company or such inaccuracies in
      the representations and warranties of the Company are curable by the Company through the exercise of commercially reasonable efforts, then Parent shall not be permitted to terminate this Agreement
      pursuant to this Section 9.1(e)(i) until the earlier to occur of (1) the expiration of a thirty (30) calendar day period after

      breach or inaccuracy, provided that the Company continues to exercise commercially reasonable efforts to cure such breach or inaccuracy (it being understood that Parent may not terminate this
      Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.1(e)(i) if such breach or inaccuracy by the Company is cured within such thirty (30) calendar day
      period); or

      (ii) in
      the event that a Triggering Event shall have occurred. For all purposes of and under this Agreement, a “Triggering
      Event
      ” shall be deemed to have occurred if, prior to the Effective Time, any of the following shall have occurred:

        (E) an
        Acquisition Proposal (whether or not a Superior Proposal) shall have been published, sent or given to the Company Stockholders by a Person unaffiliated with Parent
        and, promptly (and in any event within ten (10) Business Days) following a request by Parent, the Company shall not have made or sent to the Company Stockholders (in Parent’s discretion),

Time (it being agreed that the party hereto terminating this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.2 shall give prompt written notice of such
termination to the other party or parties hereto), by either Parent or the Company if any Governmental Entity of competent jurisdiction shall have (a) enacted, issued, promulgated, entered,
enforced or deemed applicable to any of the transactions contemplated hereby (including the Offer and the Merger) any law, statute, rule or
regulation that is in effect and has the effect of making the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated hereby (including the Offer or the Merger) illegal in any jurisdiction in which
Parent or the Company have material business or operations or which has the effect of prohibiting or otherwise preventing the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by the Agreement
(including the Offer and the Merger) or (b) issued or granted any Order that is in effect and has the effect of making any of the transactions contemplated hereby (including the Offer and the
Merger) illegal in any jurisdiction in which Parent or the Company have material business or operations or which has the effect of prohibiting or otherwise preventing the consummation of any of the
transactions contemplated by the Agreement (including the Offer and the Merger), and such Order has become final and non-appealable.

9.3 Notice of Termination; Effect of Termination. Any proper termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.1 or
Section 9.2 hereof shall be effective immediately upon the delivery of
written notice of the terminating party to the other party or parties hereto, as applicable. In the event of the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.1 or Section 9.2 hereof, this Agreement shall be of no further force or effect
without liability of any party or parties hereto, as applicable (or any stockholder, director, officer, employee, agent, consultant or representative of such party or parties) to the other party or
parties hereto, as applicable, except (a) for the terms of Section 7.9 and Section 7.10 hereof, this Section 9.3, and Section 9.4 and Article X hereof, each of which shall survive the termination of this
Agreement and (b) that nothing herein shall relieve any party or parties hereto, as applicable, from liability for any willful breach of, or fraud in connection with, this Agreement. In
addition to the foregoing, no termination of this Agreement shall affect the obligations of the parties hereto set forth in the Confidentiality Agreement (as amended pursuant to Section 7.9 hereof),
all of which obligations shall survive termination of this Agreement in accordance with their terms.

9.4 Fees and Expenses.

    (a) General. Except as set forth in Section 9.4(b)
    hereof, all fees and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (including the Offer and the Merger) shall be paid by the party or parties, as

    (b) Company Payments.

      (i) The
      Company shall pay to Parent a fee equal to One Hundred Seventy Million Dollars ($170,000,000) (the “Termination Fee
      Amount
      “), by wire transfer of immediately

63

      available
      funds to an account or accounts designated in writing by Parent, within one Business Day after demand by Parent, in the event that:

        (A) (1)
        this Agreement is terminated by Parent or the Company pursuant to Section 9.1(c) hereof or (2) this
        Agreement is terminated by Parent pursuant to Section 9.1(e)(i) hereof;

        (B) following
        the execution and delivery of this Agreement and prior to the termination of this Agreement (in the case of any termination pursuant to Section 9.1(c) hereof) or prior to the breach or inaccuracy
        that forms the basis for the termination of this Agreement (in the case of any
        termination pursuant to Section 9.1(e)(i) hereof), a proposal for a Company Acquisition Transaction shall have been publicly announced or shall
        have become publicly known, or shall have been communicated or otherwise made known to the Company; and

        (C) within
        twelve (12) months following the termination of this Agreement, either a Company Acquisition Transaction (whether or not the Company Acquisition
        Transaction referenced in the preceding clause (B)) is consummated or the Company enters into a letter of intent or Contract providing for a Company Acquisition Transaction (whether or not the
        Company Acquisition Transaction referenced in the preceding clause (B)).

      For
      purposes of this Section 9.4(b), the term “Company Acquisition Transaction” shall have the
      same meaning as the term “Acquisition Transaction” under this Agreement except that (i) all references to fifteen (15%) in the definition of “Acquisition Transaction” shall be deemed to be “a
      majority” for purposes of this definition of a “Company Acquisition Transaction” and (ii) the reference to “eighty five percent (85%)” in the definition of “Acquisition Transaction” shall be
      deemed to be “a majority” for purposes of this definition of a “Company Acquisition Transaction.”

      (ii) In

      the event that this Agreement is terminated by the Company pursuant to Section 9.1(d)(ii), prior and as a
      condition to the effectiveness of such termination, the Company shall pay to Parent a fee equal to the Termination Fee Amount by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account or accounts
      designated in writing by Parent.

      (iii) In
      the event that this Agreement is terminated by Parent pursuant to Section 9.1(e)(ii) hereof, the Company
      shall pay to Parent a fee equal to the Termination Fee Amount by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account or accounts designated in writing by Parent within one Business Day after
      demand by Parent.

    (c) Enforcement. The Company acknowledges and hereby agrees that the provisions of Section 9.4(b) hereof are an integral
    part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including the Offer and the Merger), and that,
    without such provisions, Parent would not have entered into this Agreement. If the Company shall fail to pay in a timely manner the amounts due pursuant to Section 9.4(b) hereof, and, in order to
    obtain such payment, Parent makes a claim against the Company (i) that results in a judgment
    against the Company, the Company shall pay to Parent the reasonable costs and expenses of Parent (including its reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred in connection with such suit, together
    with interest on the amounts set forth in Section 9.4(b) hereof at the prime rate of Citibank N.A. in effect on the date such payment was
    required to be made, or (ii) that results in a judgment against Parent, Parent shall pay to the Company the reasonable costs and expenses of the Company (including its reasonable attorneys’
    fees and expenses) incurred in connection with such suit. Payment of the fees described in Section 9.4(b) hereof shall not be in lieu of, or
    replacement or substitution for, damages incurred in the event of any breach of this Agreement.

64

9.5 Amendment. Subject to applicable law and subject to the other provisions of this Agreement (including Section 2.3(c)

hereof), this Agreement may be amended by the parties hereto at any time by execution of an instrument in writing signed on behalf
of each of Parent, Merger Sub and the Company; provided, however, that in the event that this Agreement has been adopted by the Company Stockholders in
accordance with Delaware Law, no amendment shall be made to this Agreement that requires the approval of such Company Stockholders without such approval.

9.6 Extension; Waiver. At any time and from time to time prior to the Effective Time, any party or parties
hereto may, to the extent legally allowed and except as otherwise set forth herein, (a) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the other party or parties
hereto, as applicable, (b) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties made to such party or parties hereto contained herein or in any document delivered pursuant hereto and
(c) waive compliance with any of the agreements or conditions for the benefit of such party or parties hereto contained herein. Any agreement on the part of a party or parties hereto to any

    material business or operations or which has the effect of prohibiting or otherwise preventing the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by the Agreement (including the Offer and the

    financial statements of the Company for its fiscal years ended December 31, 2003, 2004 and 2005 included in the 2005 Form 10-K, which is not qualified because of a limitation

    judgment of Parent or Merger Sub, to proceed with the Offer and/or with such acceptance for payment of, or payment for, Company Shares.

The
foregoing conditions are for the sole benefit of Parent and Merger Sub and, subject to the terms and conditions of the Agreement, may be waived by Parent or Merger Sub, in whole or
in part at any time and from time to time in the sole discretion of Parent or Merger Sub. The failure by Parent or Merger Sub 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 which may be asserted at any time and from time to time.
