ARTICLE I

THE OFFER

Section 1.1 The Offer.

(a) Commencement of the Offer. Provided that this Agreement shall not have been terminated in accordance with Section 8.1, as promptly as practicable after the date of this Agreement (but, in any event, within ten (10) Business Days following the date hereof), Merger Sub shall (and Parent shall cause Merger Sub to) commence (within the meaning of Rule 14d-2 under the Exchange Act, such date the Offer is so commenced is referred to herein as the “Commencement Date”) an offer (the “Offer”) to purchase all of the issued and outstanding shares of Company Common Stock at a price per share equal to $4.30 (as adjusted as provided in Section 1.1(c), if applicable, the “Offer Price”); provided, that, in no event shall Merger Sub be obligated to commence the Offer if the Company is not ready to file the Schedule 14D-9 at any scheduled Commencement Date.

(b) Terms and Conditions of the Offer. The obligation of Merger Sub to accept for payment and pay for any shares of Company Common Stock validly tendered and not validly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer shall be subject to the satisfaction, or (other than in the case of the Minimum Condition) waiver by Parent or Merger Sub, of the Minimum Condition and the other conditions and requirements set forth in Schedule I (the “Offer Conditions”). Subject to the prior satisfaction of the Minimum Condition and the satisfaction, or waiver by Parent or Merger Sub, of the other Offer Conditions, Merger Sub shall (and Parent shall cause Merger Sub to) consummate the Offer in accordance with its terms and accept for payment and pay for all shares of Company Common Stock validly tendered and not validly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer as promptly as practicable after the Expiration Time (as it may be extended and re-extended in accordance with Section 1.1(f)) (the time of acceptance for payment, the “Acceptance Time”).

(f) Extensions of the Offer. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, and without limiting Parent’s or Merger Sub’s obligations under this Section 1.1(f), Merger Sub shall, and Parent shall cause Merger Sub to, (i) extend the Offer on one or more occasions, in consecutive increments determined by Parent of up to five (5) Business Days each (or such longer period as the parties may agree), if, on any then-scheduled Expiration Time any of the Offer Conditions shall not be satisfied or waived, until such time as such condition or conditions are satisfied or waived and (ii) extend the Offer for any period required by applicable Law, any rule, regulation, interpretation or position of the SEC, or the staff thereof, or the staff thereof, applicable to the Offer; provided, however, that (A) in no event shall Merger Sub be required to extend the Offer (1) beyond the Termination Date or (2) if Parent or Merger Sub has validly terminated this Agreement, pursuant to Section 8.1; (B) if, at any then-scheduled Expiration Time, each Offer Condition (other than the Minimum Condition) shall have been satisfied or waived and the Minimum Condition shall not have been satisfied, then Merger Sub may and, if requested by the Company, Merger Sub shall, and Parent shall cause Merger Sub to, extend the Offer by increments of five (5) Business Days; and (C) the maximum number of days that the Offer may be extended pursuant to clause (B) of this proviso shall be twenty (20) Business Days unless mutually agreed by the Company and Parent.

The time scheduled for payment of shares of Company Common Stock pursuant to and subject to the Offer Conditions is referred to in this Agreement as the “Offer Closing”, and the date on which the Offer Closing occurs is referred to in this Agreement as the “Offer Closing Date”. Nothing contained in this Section 1.1(g) shall affect any termination rights in Section 8.1.

(h) Termination of the Offer. Merger Sub shall not terminate the Offer prior to any scheduled Expiration Time without the prior written consent of the Company except in the event that this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 8.1.

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the closing of the Merger (the “Closing”) will take place at 10:00 a.m., local time, at the offices of Kirkland & Ellis LLP, 300 N. LaSalle Street, Chicago, Illinois 60654, as soon as practicable following the consummation of the Offer on a date to be specified by the parties hereto, but in any event no later than the second (2nd) Business Day after the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the fulfillment or waiver of those conditions) set forth in Article VII, or another time, date or place as is agreed to in writing by the parties (the date on which the Closing occurs, the “Closing Date”).

The Merger shall become effective at the Effective Time. If the Delaware Secretary requires any changes in the Certificate of Merger as a condition to filing or issuing a certificate to the effect that the Merger is effective, Merger Sub and the Company shall execute any necessary revisions incorporating such changes, provided such changes are not inconsistent with and do not result in any material change in the terms of this Agreement.

Section 2.4 Conversion of the Shares. 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 any of the following securities:

(a) Except as provided in Section 2.4(d), each share of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (excluding Dissenter Shares and excluding shares of Company Common Stock owned by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or by Parent or Merger Sub) shall be canceled and shall by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder thereof be converted automatically into the right to receive the Offer Price, in cash, without interest thereon (the “Merger Consideration”), upon surrender of the certificate representing such share of Common Stock as provided in Article III. All such shares of Company Common Stock, when so converted, shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist, and each holder of a certificate theretofore representing such shares of Company Common Stock shall cease to have any rights or claims with respect thereto, except the right to receive, with respect to each share of Common Stock represented by such certificate, the Offer Price, in cash, without interest thereon.

(b) Each share of Company Common Stock that is owned by the Company (or any Subsidiary of the Company) as treasury stock or otherwise and each share of Company Common Stock owned by Parent or Merger Sub shall be canceled and retired and cease to exist and no payment or distribution shall be made with respect thereto.

(c) Each share of common stock of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and become one validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock, $0.01 par value per share, of the Surviving Corporation and shall constitute the only outstanding shares of capital stock of the Surviving Corporation.

(d) If between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock shall have been changed into a different number of shares or a different class, solely by reason of any stock dividend, subdivision, reclassification, recapitalization, split, reverse split, combination or exchange of shares or any other similar transaction, the Offer Price and Merger Consideration shall be correspondingly adjusted to reflect such stock dividend, subdivision, reclassification, recapitalization, split, reverse split, combination or exchange of shares or any other similar transaction and to provide to the holders of Company Common Stock the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such action.

Section 2.5 Organizational Documents.

(a) At the Effective Time, the Certificate of Incorporation of the Surviving Corporation shall be the Certificate of Incorporation of Merger Sub, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, except that such Certificate of Incorporation shall be amended to change the name of the Surviving Corporation to “Cobra Electronics Corporation”. Thereafter, the Certificate of Incorporation of the Surviving Corporation may only be amended in accordance with its terms and as provided by Law.

(b) At the Effective Time, the Bylaws of Merger Sub as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation (except that all references to Merger Sub in the Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation shall be amended to refer to “Cobra Electronics Corporation”). Thereafter, the Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation may only be amended or repealed in accordance with their terms and the Certificate of Incorporation of the Surviving Corporation and as provided by Law.

Section 2.6 Directors and Officers of the Surviving Corporation. At the Effective Time, the directors and officers of Merger Sub shall continue in office as the directors and officers of the Surviving Corporation, and such directors and officers shall hold office in accordance with and subject to the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation.

Section 2.7 Company Common Stock Options; Company Restricted Stock.

(a) Termination of Company Equity Incentive Plan. Except as otherwise agreed to by the parties in writing, (i) the Company Equity Incentive Plan shall terminate as of the Effective Time and the provisions in any other plan, program or arrangement providing for the issuance or grant of any other interest in respect of the capital stock of the Company or any Subsidiary thereof shall be canceled as of the Effective Time and (ii) the Company shall ensure (and shall take all necessary action to ensure) that following the Effective Time no participant in the Company Equity Incentive Plan or other plans, programs or arrangements shall have any right thereunder to acquire any equity securities of the Company, the Surviving Corporation or any Subsidiary thereof.

(b) Company Common Stock Options. At the Effective Time, each outstanding Company Common Stock Option, whether vested or unvested, shall become fully vested and cancelled, (i) in the case of a Company Common Stock Option having a per share exercise price

less than the Offer Price, for the right to receive from the Surviving Corporation for each share of Company Common Stock subject to such Company Common Stock Option immediately prior to the Effective Time an amount (subject to any withholding Tax) in cash (without interest thereon) equal to the product of (A) the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Company Common Stock Option immediately prior to the Effective Time and (B) the amount by which the Offer Price exceeds the per share exercise price of such Company Common Stock Option, or (ii) in the case of any Company Common Stock Option having a per share exercise price equal to or greater than the Offer Price, without the payment of cash or issuance of other securities in respect thereof. The cancellation of a Company Common Stock Option as provided in the immediately preceding sentence shall be deemed a release of any and all rights the holder thereof had or may have had in respect of such Company Common Stock Option. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall deliver to the holders of Company Common Stock Options notices, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Parent, setting forth such holders’ rights pursuant to this Agreement.

(c) Company Restricted Stock. At the Effective Time, each share of Company Restricted Stock, whether vested or unvested, that is outstanding immediately prior thereto shall become fully vested and all restrictions and repurchase rights thereon shall lapse and shall be converted automatically into the right to receive at the Effective Time an amount (subject to any withholding Tax) in cash (without interest thereon) in U.S. dollars equal to the product of (a) the total number of such shares of Company Restricted Stock without regard to vesting and (b) the Offer Price. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall deliver to the holders of Company Restricted Stock notices, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Parent, setting forth such holders’ rights pursuant to this Agreement and shall take all other actions necessary to effect the transactions contemplated by this Section 2.7(c) (including the making of any determination and/or resolutions of the Company Board of Directors or a committee thereof).

(d) Unless otherwise agreed by Parent in writing, all amounts payable to the holders of Company Common Stock Options and Company Restricted Stock shall be paid by the Company through its payroll system on the next scheduled payroll date following the Closing in lieu of delivering a check or making a wire transfer to such holder.

Section 2.8 Dissenter Shares. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if any Dissenting Stockholder shall demand to be paid the “fair value” of its Dissenter Shares, as provided in Section 262 of the DGCL, such Dissenter Shares shall not be converted into or exchangeable for the right to receive the Merger Consideration (except as provided in this Section 2.8) and shall entitle such Dissenting Stockholder only to payment of the fair value of such Dissenter Shares, in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL, unless and until such Dissenting Stockholder withdraws (in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL) or effectively loses the right to dissent. The Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of Parent, voluntarily make (or cause or permit to be made on its behalf) any payment with respect to, or settle or offer to settle, any such demand for payment of fair value of Dissenter Shares prior to the Effective Time. Any payments required to be made with respect to the Dissenting Shares shall be made by the Surviving Corporation or its designee, and the Aggregate Consideration shall be reduced, on a dollar for dollar basis, as if the holder of such Dissenting Shares had not been a Company Common Stockholder on the Closing Date and such Dissenting Shares were not outstanding on the Closing Date. The Company shall give Parent prompt notice of any such demands prior to the Effective Time and Parent shall have the right to participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to any such demands. If any Dissenting Stockholder shall have effectively withdrawn (in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL) or lost the right to dissent, then as of the later of the Effective Time or the occurrence of such event, the Dissenter Shares held by such Dissenting Stockholder shall be cancelled and retired, shall cease to exist, and shall be converted into and represent

the right to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.8. From and after the Effective Time, a holder of Dissenting Shares shall not be entitled to exercise any of the voting rights or other rights or claims of an equity owner of the Surviving Corporation.

ARTICLE III

EXCHANGE OF CERTIFICATES

Section 3.1 Paying Agent. Prior to, or concurrently with, the Closing, Parent shall deposit, or shall cause to be deposited, with a bank or trust company designated by Parent and reasonably satisfactory to the Company (the “Paying Agent”), for the benefit of the holders of shares of Company Common Stock, for exchange in accordance with this Article III, through the Paying Agent, cash in U.S. dollars in an amount sufficient to pay the Aggregate Consideration (such cash being hereinafter referred to as the “Exchange Fund”) in exchange for outstanding shares of Company Common Stock (but not, for the avoidance of doubt, for payments in respect of Company Common Stock Options or Company Restricted Stock, which shall be paid by the Company through its payroll system on the next scheduled payroll date following the Closing unless otherwise agreed to by Parent). The Paying Agent shall deliver the Aggregate Consideration in exchange for outstanding shares of Company Common Stock out of the Exchange Fund. In the event the Exchange Fund shall be insufficient to pay the Aggregate Consideration, Parent shall promptly deposit, or cause to be deposited, additional funds with the Paying Agent in an amount sufficient to make such payments. The Exchange Fund shall be invested by the Paying Agent as directed by Parent; provided, however, that such investments shall be in obligations of or guaranteed by the United States of America or any agency or instrumentality thereof and backed by the full faith and credit of the United States of America, in commercial paper obligations rated A-1 or P-1 or better by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. or Standard & Poor’s Corporation, respectively, or in certificates of deposit, bank repurchase agreements or banker’s acceptances of commercial banks with capital exceeding $1 billion (based on the most recent financial statements of such bank that are then publicly available). Any net profit resulting from, or interest or income produced by, such investments shall be payable to the Surviving Corporation or Parent, and any amounts in excess of the amounts payable pursuant to Article I or Article II shall be promptly returned to the Surviving Corporation or Parent, in each case as directed by Parent. The Exchange Fund shall not be used for any other purpose.

Section 3.2 Exchange Procedures. Promptly following the Effective Time (but in no event later than two (2) Business Days following the Effective Time), Parent shall instruct the Paying Agent to mail to each holder of record of a Certificate or Certificates which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding shares of Company Common Stock (the “Certificates”, it being understood that any references herein to “Certificates” shall be deemed to include references to book-entry account statements relating to the ownership of shares of Company Common Stock) and whose shares of Company Common Stock have been converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to Article II (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, the Company, Parent, Merger Sub, any Subsidiary of the Company or Parent or holders of Dissenting Shares who have not subsequently withdrawn or lost their rights of appraisal) (i) a letter of transmittal in customary form and with such other provisions as Parent may determine (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon proper delivery of the Certificates to the Paying Agent) and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates in exchange for the Merger Consideration. Upon surrender of a Certificate (or affidavits of loss in lieu thereof in accordance with Section 3.6) for cancellation to the Paying Agent together with such letter of transmittal, properly completed and duly executed, and such other documents as may be reasonably required pursuant to such instructions (or, if such shares are held in book-entry or other uncertificated form, upon the entry through a book-entry transfer agent of the surrender of such shares on a book-entry account statement), the holder

of such Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor the Merger Consideration which such holder has the right to receive in respect of the shares of Company Common Stock formerly represented by such Certificate, and the Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled. No interest will be paid or accrued on any consideration payable to holders of Certificates. In the event of a transfer of ownership of shares of Company Common Stock which is not registered in the transfer records of the Company, the Merger Consideration may be issued to a transferee if the Certificate representing such shares of Company Common Stock is presented to the Paying Agent, accompanied by all documents required to evidence and effect such transfer and by evidence that any applicable stock transfer Taxes have been paid. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Article III, each Certificate shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive upon such surrender the Merger Consideration or the right to demand to be paid the “fair value” of the shares represented thereby as contemplated by Article II.

Section 3.3 Further Rights in Company Common Stock. All consideration paid in accordance with the terms hereof shall be deemed to have been issued in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such shares of Company Common Stock, Company Common Stock Options and Company Restricted Stock.

Section 3.4 Termination of Exchange Fund. Any portion of the Exchange Fund which remains undistributed to the holders of Company Common Stock for twelve (12) months after the Effective Time shall be delivered to the Surviving Corporation upon demand, and any holders of Company Common Stock who have not theretofore complied with this Article III shall thereafter look only to the Surviving Corporation for the Merger Consideration without any interest thereon.

Section 3.5 No Liability. None of Parent, the Company or the Surviving Corporation shall be liable to any holder of shares of Company Common Stock for any cash from the Exchange Fund delivered to a public official pursuant to any abandoned property, escheat or similar Law.

Section 3.6 Lost Certificates. If any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by Paying Agent, the posting by such Person of a bond, in such reasonable and customary amount as Paying Agent may direct, as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate, the Paying Agent will issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate the Merger Consideration without any interest thereon.

Section 3.7 No Further Dividends. No dividends or other distributions with respect to capital stock of the Surviving Corporation with a record date on or after the Effective Time shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Certificates.

Section 3.8 Withholding of Tax. Parent, the Surviving Corporation, any Affiliate thereof or the Paying Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder of shares of Company Common Stock, Company Common Stock Options and/or Company Restricted Stock such amount as Parent, the Surviving Corporation, any Affiliate thereof or the Paying Agent is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code or any provision of state, local or foreign Tax Law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld by Parent, the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent, such withheld amounts shall be paid over to the applicable Governmental Entity in accordance with applicable Law or Order. Any amounts so paid over shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the former holder of a Certificate, Company Common Stock Option or shares of Company Restricted Stock in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.

Each of the Company and Parent shall (1) give the other party prompt notice of the commencement or threat of commencement of any investigation or Action by or before any Governmental Entity with respect to the Offer, the Merger or any of the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (2) keep the other party informed as to the status of any such investigation, Action or threat, (3) promptly inform the other party of any material communication concerning any Antitrust Laws to or from any Governmental Entity regarding the Offer, the Merger and any of the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement and (4) furnish to the other party such information and assistance as the other may reasonably request in connection with any filing or other act undertaken in compliance with any Antitrust Laws. Except as may be prohibited by any Governmental Entity, the Company and Parent will consult and cooperate with one another, and will consider in good faith the views of one another, in connection with any analysis, appearance, presentation, memorandum, brief, argument, opinion or proposal made or submitted in connection with any Action under or relating to any Antitrust Law. Except as may be prohibited by any Governmental Entity, each of the Company and Parent will permit authorized Representatives of the other party to be present at each meeting or conference relating to any such Action and to have access to and be consulted in connection with any document, opinion or proposal made or submitted to any Governmental Entity in connection with any such Action. Parent shall pay all filing fees incurred in connection with filings made under Antitrust Laws in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties hereto understand and agree that the reasonable best efforts of any party hereto shall not be deemed to include (A) divesting or otherwise holding separate (including by establishing a trust or otherwise), or taking any other action (or otherwise agreeing to do any of the foregoing) with respect to any of Parent’s, the Company’s, or any of Parent’s or the Company’s Affiliates’ businesses, assets or properties other than, if required by a Governmental Entity, agreeing to hold separate and, if required by a Governmental Entity, agreeing to divest, the Company’s Radar/Laser Detection Business, or (B) entering into any settlement, undertaking, consent decree, stipulation or agreement with any Governmental Entity that would require Parent, the Company or any of Parent’s or the Company’s Affiliates to take any action other than, if required by a Governmental Entity, agreeing to hold separate and, if required by a Governmental Entity, divest, the Company’s Radar/Laser Detection Business, to the extent necessary to give effect to the preceding clause (A). Solely to the extent necessary to give effect to the exceptions set forth in the preceding sentence, Parent agrees to (i) if required by a Governmental Entity, agree to hold separate, and/or, if required by a Governmental Entity, agree to divest, the Company’s Radar/Laser Detection Business and (ii) solely to the extent necessary to give the effect to the requirements of, clause (i), take any and all actions (but not so as to increase the divestitures required by clause (i)) ancillary or necessary to give effect thereto as demanded by any Governmental Entity, including the provisions of transition services and support, in order to avoid or eliminate each and every impediment that may be asserted by any Governmental Entity with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement so as to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby as soon as practicable. The Company shall cooperate with, and shall cause its Subsidiaries and its and their respective directors, officers and employees to cooperate with, Parent in all reasonable respects and any applicable Governmental Entity in all material respects in promptly determining the composition and structure of, and effectuation and consummation of, any requested hold separate or divestiture agreement whose establishment is necessary to give effect to the exceptions set forth in this paragraph.

(d) If any Antitakeover Laws are or may become applicable to the Offer, the Merger or any of the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Company and the Company Board of Directors shall promptly grant such approvals and use reasonable best efforts to take such other lawful actions as are necessary so that such transactions may be consummated as promptly as practicable on the terms contemplated by this Agreement and otherwise take such other commercially reasonable and lawful actions to eliminate or minimize the effects of such Antitakeover Laws and any regulations promulgated thereunder, on such transactions.

Section 6.4 No Solicitation of Transactions; Company Adverse Recommendation Change.

(a) On the date hereof the Company will instruct and cause the Company’s employees, officers, directors, legal and financial advisors, representatives and agents (collectively, “Representatives”), and the Company Subsidiaries and their respective Representatives to immediately cease all discussions and negotiations with any Persons that may be ongoing with respect to an Acquisition Proposal, and promptly deliver a written notice to each such Person to the effect that the Company is ending all discussions and negotiations with such Person with respect to any Acquisition Proposal and such notice shall also request such Person to promptly return or destroy all confidential information concerning the Company and its Subsidiaries. From the date of this Agreement until the earlier of the Effective Time or the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1, the Company will not and will not authorize or permit any Company Subsidiary and will use reasonable best efforts not to permit any Representative of the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly:

(A) initiate, solicit, propose, knowingly encourage (including by providing information) or take any action to knowingly facilitate any inquiries or the making of any proposal or offer that constitutes, or may reasonably be expected to lead to, an Acquisition Proposal;

(B) engage in, continue or otherwise participate in any discussions or negotiations regarding, or provide any information or data concerning the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries to any Person relating to, any Acquisition Proposal or any proposal or offer that could reasonably be expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal;

(C) grant any waiver, amendment or release, or fail to enforce any rights (including by failing to pursue and obtain injunctions to prevent breaches), under any standstill or confidentiality agreement or any rights agreement or Antitakeover Laws, or otherwise knowingly facilitate any effort or attempt by any Person to make an Acquisition Proposal (including providing consent or authorization to make an Acquisition Proposal to any officer or employee of the Company or to the Company Board of Directors (or any member thereof) pursuant to any confidentiality agreement); provided that the Company may waive any standstill or similar provisions in its agreements to the extent necessary to permit a Person to make an Acquisition Proposal to the Company Board of Directors on a confidential basis;

(D) (1) execute or enter into any Acquisition Agreement or other agreement that requires the Company to abandon this Agreement or (2) publicly approve, endorse, or recommend any such action; or

(E) publicly propose to do any of the foregoing.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 6.4(a) but subject to the terms of this Section 6.4(b), at any time prior to, but not after, the Acceptance Time, the Company may, subject to compliance with this Section 6.4:

(i) provide information in response to a request therefor to an unaffiliated Third Party who has made a Qualifying Acquisition Proposal after the date of this Agreement if and only if, prior to providing such information, (A) the Company has received from such unaffiliated Third Party so requesting such information an executed Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement, (B) the Company gives Parent prompt (but in any event within twenty-four (24) hours of the determination that such Acquisition Proposal is a Qualifying Acquisition Proposal) written notice of the Qualifying Acquisition Proposal and (C) the Company furnishes to Parent any information concerning the Company and the Company Subsidiaries that is to be provided to such unaffiliated Third Party making such Qualifying Acquisition Proposal that is given such access and that was not previously made available to Parent or Parent’s Representatives; and

(ii) engage or participate in any discussions or negotiations with the unaffiliated Third Party who has made such Qualifying Acquisition Proposal;

provided, that prior to taking any action described in Section 6.4(b)(i) or Section 6.4(b)(ii) above, the Company Board of Directors shall have determined in good faith, based on the information then available and after consultation with its independent financial advisor and outside legal counsel, that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Qualifying Acquisition Proposal. So long as the Company, the Company Subsidiaries and their respective Representatives have otherwise complied with this Section 6.4, none of the foregoing shall prohibit the Company or its Representatives from contacting any person or group of persons that has made an Acquisition Proposal after the date of this Agreement solely to request the clarification of the terms and conditions thereof so as to determine whether the Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Qualifying Acquisition Proposal, and any such action shall not, in and of itself, be a breach of this Section 6.4.

(c) Except as expressly provided by Section 6.4(d), (e) and (f) at any time after the date hereof, neither the Company Board of Directors nor any committee thereof shall:

(i) (A) withhold, withdraw (or not continue to make), qualify or modify (or publicly propose or resolve to withhold, withdraw (or not continue to make), qualify or modify), in a manner adverse to Parent or Merger Sub, the Company Recommendation with respect to the Offer and the Merger, (B) adopt, approve, recommend, or declare advisable or publicly propose to adopt, approve, recommend or declare advisable an Acquisition Proposal or (C) fail to include the Company Recommendation in the 14D-9 (any action described in clauses (A) through (C), a “Company Adverse Recommendation Change”); or

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

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, at any time prior to the Acceptance Time, if the Company has received a Qualifying Acquisition Proposal from any Person that is not withdrawn and that the Company Board of Directors concludes in good faith constitutes a Superior Proposal, (x) the Company Board of Directors may effect a Company Adverse Recommendation Change with respect to such Superior Proposal, and/or (y)

the Company Board of Directors may authorize the Company to terminate this Agreement to enter into an Acquisition Agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal, in each case of (x) and (y), if and only if:

(i) the Company Board of Directors determines in good faith, after consultation with its independent financial advisor and outside legal counsel, that failure to take such actions would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties to the stockholders of the Company under applicable Law;

(ii) the Company shall have complied in all material respects with its obligations under this Section 6.4; and

(iii) the Company shall have provided prior written notice to Parent at least four (4) Business Days in advance prior to taking any such action described in clause (x) or clause (y) above (the “Notice Period”), to the effect that the Company Board of Directors has received a Qualifying Acquisition Proposal that is not withdrawn and that the Company Board of Directors has concluded constitutes a Superior Proposal and which notice shall specify the identity of the party making the Superior Proposal and the material terms thereof (it being agreed that neither the delivery of such notice by the Company nor, subject to the last sentence of Section 6.4(d)(iii)(A), the public announcement that the Company’s Board of Directors has received a Qualifying Acquisition Proposal that it has concluded constitutes a Superior Proposal shall constitute a Company Adverse Recommendation Change); and

(A) prior to effecting such Company Adverse Recommendation Change or termination, the Company shall, and shall cause their financial and legal advisors to, during the Notice Period, negotiate with Parent and the Parent Representatives in good faith (to the extent Parent desires to negotiate) regarding adjustments in the terms and conditions of this Agreement proposed by Parent, so that such Qualifying Acquisition Proposal would cease to constitute a Superior Proposal; provided, that in the event of any material revisions to the Qualifying Acquisition Proposal which result in the Company Board of Directors determining such Qualifying Acquisition Proposal to again be a Superior Proposal, the Company shall be required to deliver a new written notice to Parent and an additional two (2) Business Days from the date of such notice shall apply in order for the Company to comply with the requirements of this Section 6.4 (including this Section 6.4(d)) with respect to such new written notice, and, during each such two (2) Business Day period, the Company shall, and shall cause its financial and legal advisors to, negotiate with Parent and the Parent Representatives in good faith (to the extent Parent desires to negotiate) regarding adjustments in the terms and conditions of this Agreement proposed by Parent, so that such Qualifying Acquisition Proposal would cease to constitute a Superior Proposal. If after giving effect to the provisions of this Section 6.4(d)(iii)(A), (x) the Company determines that any Qualifying Acquisition Proposal continues to constitute a Superior Proposal, (y) Parent provides irrevocable notice that it elects not to negotiate any further adjustments in the terms and conditions of this Agreement within the applicable time period and (z) the Company has not within three (3) Business Days of such notice terminated this Agreement as described in Section 6.4(d)(iii)(B), then such determination and the public disclosure thereof by the Company shall be deemed a Company Adverse Recommendation Change for all purposes hereunder; and

(B) in the case of any action described in clause (y) of Section 6.4(d) above, the Company shall promptly thereafter validly terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 8.1(c), and enter into an Acquisition Agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal.

(e) Other than in connection with a Superior Proposal (which shall be subject to Section 6.4(d) and shall not be subject to this Section 6.4(e)), nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit or restrict the Company’s Board of Directors from, prior to the Acceptance Time, withholding, modifying or amending, in a manner adverse to Parent, the Company Recommendation, if and only if:

(i) an Intervening Event has occurred;

(ii) the Company Board of Directors determines in good faith, after consultation with its independent financial advisor and outside legal counsel and after giving consideration to any offer or proposal from Parent, that, in light of such Intervening Event, the failure by the Company Board of Directors to effect a Company Adverse Recommendation Change would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties to the stockholders of the Company under applicable Law;

(iii) the Company shall have complied with its obligations under this Section 6.4 with respect to such Company Adverse Recommendation Change;

(iv) the Company shall have provided prior written notice to Parent at least four (4) Business Days in advance, to the effect that the Company Board of Directors has determined that an Intervening Event has occurred and which notice shall specify in reasonable detail the material facts underlying the Company Board of Directors’ determination that an Intervening Event has occurred and the rationale and basis for such Company Adverse Recommendation Change (it being agreed that neither the delivery of such notice by the Company nor the public announcement that the Company’s Board of Directors is considering a Company Adverse Recommendation Change under applicable law as a result of such Intervening Event shall constitute a Company Adverse Recommendation Change); and

(v) prior to effecting such Company Adverse Recommendation Change, the Company shall, and shall cause their financial and legal advisors to, during the Notice Period, negotiate with Parent and the Parent Representatives in good faith (to the extent Parent desires to negotiate) regarding adjustments in the terms and conditions of this Agreement proposed by Parent, so as to obviate the need to effect a Company Adverse Recommendation Change on the basis of such Intervening Event so that the transactions contemplated hereby may be effected; provided, that in the event of any material change to the facts and circumstances relating to such Intervening Event the Company shall be required to deliver a new written notice to Parent and an additional two (2) Business Days from the date of such notice shall apply in order for the Company to comply with the requirements of this Section 6.4 (including this Section 6.4(e)) with respect to such new written notice, and, during each such two (2) Business Day period, the Company shall, and shall cause their financial and legal advisors to, negotiate with Parent and the Parent Representatives in good faith (to the extent Parent desires to negotiate) regarding adjustments in the terms and conditions of this Agreement proposed by Parent, so as to obviate the need to effect a Company Adverse Recommendation Change on the basis of such Intervening Event so that the transactions contemplated hereby may be effected.

(f) Nothing contained in this Section 6.4 shall be deemed to prohibit the Company or the Company Board of Directors from (i) complying with its disclosure obligations under U.S. federal or state Law with regard to an Acquisition Proposal, including taking and disclosing to its stockholders a position contemplated by Rule 14d-9 or Rule 14e-2(a) under the Exchange Act (or any similar communication to Company Common Stockholders), provided that any such disclosure (other than a “stop, look and listen” communication or similar communication of the type contemplated by Rule 14d-9(f) under the Exchange Act) shall be deemed to be a Company Adverse Recommendation Change unless the Company Board of Directors expressly publicly reaffirms the Company Recommendation within two (2) Business Days following any request by Parent, or (ii) making any “stop-look-and-listen” communication or similar communication of the type contemplated by Rule 14d-9(f) under the Exchange Act.

(g) The Company agrees that it will promptly (and, in any event, within one (1) Business Day) notify Parent if any proposals or offers with respect to an Acquisition Proposal are received by, any non-public information is requested from, or any discussions or negotiations are sought to be initiated or continued with, the Company or any of its Representatives indicating, in connection with such notice, the identity of the Person or group of Persons making such offer or proposal, and the material terms and conditions of any proposals or offers (including, if applicable, copies of any written requests, proposals or offers, including proposed agreements) and thereafter shall keep Parent reasonably informed, on a prompt basis, of the status and terms of any such proposals or offers (including any amendments thereto) and the status of any such discussions or negotiations, including any change in the Company’s intentions as previously notified.

(h) The Company agrees that in the event any of the Company Subsidiaries or its or their respective Representatives takes any action which, if taken by the Company, would constitute a breach of this Section 6.4, then the Company shall be deemed to be in breach of this Section 6.4.

Section 6.5 Public Announcements. The initial press release regarding the execution of this Agreement shall be a joint press release and thereafter, the Company and Parent shall consult with each other before issuing any press release or otherwise making any public statements with respect to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents and shall not issue any such press release or make any such public statement without the prior written consent of the other party; provided, however, that a party may, without the prior written consent of the other party, issue such press release or make such public statement as may be required by Law or Order or the applicable rules of Nasdaq if it has used its commercially reasonable efforts to consult with the other party and to obtain such party’s consent but has been unable to do so prior to the time such press release or public statement is so required to be issued or made. In addition, the Company and Parent shall develop a joint communications strategy and each party shall ensure that, during the period between the date of this Agreement and the earlier of the Acceptance Time and the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 8.1, all press releases and other public statements and communications (including any communications that would require a filing under Rules 14d-2 or 14d-9 of the Exchange Act), with analysts, members of the financial community or otherwise, with respect to the Offer, the Merger, the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be consistent in all material respects with such joint communications strategy. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (A) the Company shall not be required to consult with Parent or Merger Sub prior to issuing any press release or making any public statement relating to any Acquisition Proposal or in connection with or following a Company Adverse Recommendation Change and (B) Parent and Merger Sub may make public statements relating to any Acquisition Proposal that has been made public or in response to public statements of any Person recommending or encouraging stockholders of the Company not to tender their shares of Company Common Stock into the Offer.

Section 6.6 Litigation. Each of Parent, Merger Sub and the Company agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to defend any lawsuits or other Actions, whether judicial or administrative, challenging, or seeking damages or other relief as a result of, this Agreement, the Offer, the Merger or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Transaction Documents (“Merger Litigation”), including seeking to have any Order adversely affecting the ability of the parties to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents entered by any court or other Governmental Entity promptly vacated or reversed. The Company shall give Parent the right to review and comment on all material filings or responses to be made by the Company in connection with any Merger Litigation, and the right to consult on any settlement or other agreement with respect to such Merger Litigation, and the Company will in good faith take such comments into account, and no such settlement or other agreement shall be entered into or made without Parent’s prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, except that Parent shall not be obligated to consent to any settlement which does not include a full release of Parent and its Affiliates (including, after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation) or which imposes an injunction or other equitable relief upon Parent or any of its Affiliates (including, after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation)).

Section 6.7 Directors’ and Officers’ Indemnification and Insurance.

(a) For a period of six (6) years from and after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall indemnify, advance expenses to, and hold harmless all past and present officers and directors of the Company (“Indemnified Persons”) to the same extent and in the same manner such persons are indemnified as of the date of this Agreement by the Company pursuant to the DGCL, the Company Certificate of Incorporation and the Company Bylaws for acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Effective Time; provided, however, in the case of advancement of expenses, any person to whom expenses are advanced provides an undertaking, to the extent required by the DGCL, to repay such advance if it is ultimately determined that such person is not entitled to indemnification. The Certificate of Incorporation and the Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation will contain provisions with respect to exculpation, advancement and indemnification that are at least as favorable to the Indemnified Persons as those contained in the Company Certificate of Incorporation and the Company Bylaws as in effect on the date hereof, which provisions will not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified for a period of not less than six (6) years from the Effective Time in any manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of individuals who, immediately prior to the Effective Time, were directors, officers, employees or agents of the Company, unless such a modification is required by Law.

(b) The Company shall, prior to the Effective Time, and if the Company fails to do so, Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, obtain and fully pay the premium for an insurance and indemnification policy that provides coverage for a period of six (6) years from and after the Effective Time for events occurring prior to the Effective Time (the “D&O Insurance”) that is substantially equivalent to and in any event not less favorable in the aggregate to the intended beneficiaries thereof than the Company’s existing directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy. If the Company or the Surviving Corporation for any reason fail to obtain such “tail” insurance policy as of the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall, and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, maintain in effect from the Effective Time until the sixth (6th) anniversary of the Effective time (and for so long thereafter as any claims brought before the end of such six-year period thereunder are being adjudicated), for the benefit of the Indemnified Persons with respect to their acts and omissions as directors, officers, employees or agents of the Company occurring prior to the Effective Time, the existing D&O Insurance

maintained by the Company as of the date of this Agreement in the form delivered by the Company to Parent prior to the date of this Agreement, with terms, conditions, retentions and limits of liability that are not less favorable in the aggregate to the intended beneficiaries thereof than as provided in the Company’s existing policies as of the date hereof (the “Existing D&O Policy”); provided, however, that: (i) Parent and the Surviving Corporation may substitute for the Existing D&O Policy a policy or policies of comparable coverage for such six-year period (and for so long thereafter as any claims brought before the end of such six-year period thereunder are being adjudicated), including a “tail” insurance policy; and (ii) the Surviving Corporation shall not be required to pay annual premiums for the D&O Insurance (or for any applicable substitute or “tail” policies) in excess of $187,760 (the “Maximum Premium”). In the event any future annual premiums for the D&O Insurance (or any applicable substitute policies) exceed the Maximum Premium, the Surviving Corporation shall be entitled to reduce the amount of coverage of the D&O Insurance (or any applicable substitute or “tail” policies) to the greatest available coverage that can be obtained for a premium equal to the Maximum Premium.

(c) The contractual indemnification rights, if any, in existence on the date of this Agreement with any of the directors, officers or employees of the Company or any Company Subsidiary shall, by virtue of the Merger and at the Effective Time, be assumed by the Surviving Corporation, without any further action, and shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with their terms following the Effective Time. The provisions of this Section 6.7 are in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other rights to indemnification or contribution that any such person may have by contract or otherwise. Nothing in this Agreement, including this Section 6.7, is intended to, shall be construed to or shall release, waive or impair any rights to directors’ and officers’ insurance claims under any policy that is or has been in existence with respect to the Company, any of the Company Subsidiaries or the Indemnified Parties, it being understood and agreed that the indemnification provided for in this Section 6.7 is not prior to, or in substitution for, any such claims under any such policies. The provisions of this Section 6.7 are intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each Indemnified Person, and each Indemnified Person’s heirs, executors or administrators, shall be binding on all successors and assigns of the Company and the Surviving Corporation and shall not be amended in a manner that is adverse to any Indemnified Persons (including their successors, assigns and heirs) without the consent of the Indemnified Person (including the successors, assigns and heirs) affected thereby.

Section 6.8 Conveyance Taxes. The Company and Parent shall cooperate in the preparation, execution and filing of all returns, questionnaires, applications or other documents regarding any real property transfer or gains, sales, use, transfer, value added, stock transfer and stamp taxes, any transfer, recording, registration and other fees, and any similar taxes (collectively, “Transfer Taxes”) imposed on the Company or its Subsidiaries which become payable in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement that are required or permitted to be filed on or before the Effective Time. All Transfer Taxes imposed on the Company or its Subsidiaries incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be paid when due by the Surviving Corporation.

Section 6.9 Delisting. Each of the parties agrees to cooperate with each other in taking, or causing to be taken, all actions necessary to delist the Company Common Stock from Nasdaq and terminate registration under the Exchange Act, provided that such delisting and termination shall not be effective until or after the Effective Time.

Section 6.10 Rights Plan. The Company Board of Directors and the Company shall continue to take all further actions (including keeping in full force and effect and not amending, waiving or modifying the Rights Plan Actions) necessary to render the Rights Plan inapplicable to the Offer, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Section 6.11 Rule 14d-10 Matters. Prior to the Acceptance Time, the Company (acting through the compensation committee of the Company Board of Directors) will take all such actions as may be required to cause to be exempt under Rule 14d-10(d) under the Exchange Act any employment compensation, severance or other employee benefit arrangements that have been or will be entered into by Parent, the Company or any of their respective Affiliates with current or future directors, officers or employees of the Company and its Affiliates and to insure that (a) any such arrangements (including any amendment or modification thereof) and (b) any payments made or to be made or benefits granted or to be granted according to such arrangements fall within the safe harbor provisions of such rule. Prior to taking the actions required by this Section 6.11, the Company will provide Parent copies of any resolutions or similar documentation with respect to such actions and an opportunity to provide reasonable comment thereon.

Section 6.12 Financing.

(a) The Company shall reasonably cooperate, and cause the Company Subsidiaries and its and their respective Representatives to reasonably cooperate with Parent and Representatives of Parent (including Sponsor and its Subsidiaries) in connection with the Financing, including by: (i) furnishing Parent and its financing sources as promptly as practicable with financial and other pertinent information regarding the Company and its Subsidiaries as may be reasonably requested in writing by Parent, including all financial statements and projections and other pertinent information reasonably requested in writing by Parent (other than information for which the Company is dependent on information to be provided by Parent to the Company in order to prepare such financial statements and projections) and (ii) executing and delivering any pledge and security documents, currency or interest hedging arrangements, other definitive financing documents, or other certificates, legal opinions or documents as may be reasonably requested by Parent or otherwise reasonably facilitating the pledging of collateral (provided that such documents will not take effect until the Effective Time); provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, no obligations of the Company, its Subsidiaries or their respective Affiliates or Representatives under any agreement, document or instrument executed or delivered by the Company, its Subsidiaries or their respective Affiliates or Representatives pursuant to the Company’s obligations under this Section 6.12(a) shall be effective until the Effective Time; provided, further, that nothing herein shall require such assistance to the extent it would require the Company to pay (or to agree to pay) any fees, reimburse any expenses, incur any liability or give any indemnities prior to the Effective Time for which it is not reimbursed or indemnified.

(b) Neither Parent nor Merger Sub shall amend, modify, alter, waive, replace or agree to amend, modify, alter, waive or replace (in any case whether by action or inaction), any term of the Financing Commitment if such amendment, modification, waiver or replacement (x) reduces the aggregate amount of the Financing beyond the amount necessary for Parent and Merger Sub to sufficiently pay the Aggregate Consideration, all fees and expenses relating to the consummation of the Offer, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated thereby or (y) imposes new or additional conditions or otherwise expands, amends or modifies any of the conditions to the receipt of the Financing in a manner that would reasonably be expected to (I) delay or prevent the Offer Closing or the Closing or (II) make the funding of the Financing less likely to occur, and shall use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable to arrange and obtain the proceeds of the Financing on the terms and conditions described in, or contemplated by, the Financing Commitment.

(c) The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with Parent to obtain payoff letters with respect to all Indebtedness for borrowed money of the

Company and its Subsidiaries outstanding as of the Closing and releases of all Encumbrances securing such Indebtedness, conditioned only on the payment of the amounts described in such payoff letters. At Closing, the Company shall deliver to Parent a certificate in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, to the effect that the Company is not a U.S. real property holding company.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no breach or alleged breach by the Company of any provision set forth in this Section 6.12 shall form the basis for (x) any failure or alleged failure to satisfy the conditions set forth in Schedule I or (y) any termination of this Agreement by Parent pursuant to Section 8.1(f).

Section 6.13 Agreements Concerning Parent and Merger Sub. During the period from the date of this Agreement through the Effective Time, neither Parent nor Merger Sub shall engage in any activity of any nature except for activities related to or in furtherance of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including enforcement of its rights under this Agreement) and the Financing or as provided in or expressly contemplated by this Agreement.

Section 6.14 Employees.

(a) The provisions of this Section 6.14 are solely for the benefit of the parties to this Agreement, and no current or former employee, officer, director or consultant, or any other individual associated therewith, shall be regarded for any purpose as a third-party beneficiary of this Section 6.14. In no event shall the terms of this Section 6.14 or otherwise in this Agreement be deemed to (i) establish, amend or modify any Company Benefit Plan or any other benefit plan, program, agreement or arrangement maintained or sponsored by the Parent, the Company or the Surviving Corporation, or any of their respective Affiliates; (ii) alter or limit the ability of Parent, the Company or the Surviving Corporation, or any of their respective Affiliates to amend, modify or terminate any Company Benefit Plan or any other benefit or employment plan, program, agreement or arrangement after the Effective Time; or (iii) confer upon any current or former employee, officer, director or consultant, any right to employment or continued employment or continued service with Parent, the Company or the Surviving Corporation, or any of their respective Affiliates, or constitute or create an employment agreement with any employee.

(b) For one year after the Effective Time, Parent shall provide, or cause the Surviving Corporation to provide, to each individual who is an employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries as of the Effective Time (each a “Retained Employee”) coverage under vacation and sick leave policies that are not materially less favorable to such Retained Employee than the vacation and sick leave policies in effect for such Retained Employee immediately prior to the Effective Time. Parent shall honor, or cause the Surviving Corporation to honor, each Retained Employees accrued but unused vacation and sick leave as of the Effective Time under the applicable vacation and sick leave policies of the Company and its Subsidiaries.

(iii) Termination. The Company shall be entitled to terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 8.1.

(iv) Monetary Damages. Subject to the rights contemplated by Section 6.7, except in the case of fraud or any Willful Breach, in no event shall any member of the Company Group have the right to seek or obtain money damages or expense reimbursement (whether at law or in equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise) from Parent, Merger Sub, the Sponsor, any member of the Parent Group or any financing source under this Agreement and, except in the case of fraud or any Willful Breach, the Company Group’s sole remedy for breaches or alleged breaches of this Agreement by Parent or Merger Sub shall be the Company’s right to (A) terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 8.1, or (B) seek the remedy of specific performance solely to the extent and in accordance with the express terms of Section 9.7(b)(i) and Section 9.7(b)(ii).

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein and for the avoidance of doubt, under no circumstances will Parent, Merger Sub, Sponsor or any other member of the Parent Group have any liability for monetary damages in respect of any such Willful Breach unless and until the valid termination of this Agreement in accordance with Article VIII.

(c) Sole Remedy. The parties acknowledge and agree that the remedies provided for in this Section 9.7 shall be the parties’ sole and exclusive remedies for any breaches or alleged breaches of this Agreement or any claims relating to the transactions contemplated hereby. In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, any and all other rights, claims and causes of action, known or unknown, foreseen or unforeseen, which exist or may arise in the future, that such party may have against the other party, the Parent Group or the Company Group, as the case may be, arising under or based upon any Law (including any securities law, common law or otherwise) for any breach of the representations and warranties or covenants contained in this Agreement; provided, that, nothing in this Section 9.7 shall relieve any party from any liability for fraud.

Section 9.8 Acknowledgment Regarding Available Remedies. Solely to the extent that the right of specific performance is explicitly applicable under the terms of Section 9.7, the parties hereto agree that irreparable damage for which monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy would occur in the event that the parties hereto do not perform their obligations under the provisions of this Agreement (including failing to take such actions as are required of them hereunder to

consummate the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement) in accordance with its specified terms or otherwise breach such provisions. Solely to the extent that the right of specific performance is explicitly applicable under the terms of Section 9.7, the parties acknowledge and agree that the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions, specific performance or other equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof (including the right of the Company to enforce Parent’s and Merger Sub’s obligations to cause the Financing to be funded pursuant to the Financing Commitment) in the courts described in Section 9.10 without proof of damages or otherwise, and that such explicit rights of specific enforcement are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and without such rights, none of the Company, Parent or Merger Sub would have entered into this Agreement. Each party agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief on the basis that the other parties hereto have an adequate remedy at law or an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or in equity to the extent that the right of specific performance is explicitly applicable under the terms of Section 9.7. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that any party seeking an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement (to the extent that the right of specific performance is explicitly applicable under the terms of Section 9.7) shall not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with any such order or injunction.

Section 9.9 Severability. Any term or provision of this Agreement that is invalid or unenforceable shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining terms and provision hereof. If the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction declares that any term or provision hereof is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the parties hereto agree that the court making such determination shall have the power to limit the term or provision, to delete specific words or phrases, or to replace any invalid, illegal or unenforceable term or provision with a term or provision that is valid, legal and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable term or provision, and this Agreement shall be enforceable as so modified in a manner not materially adverse to any party. In the event such court does not exercise the power granted to it in the prior sentence, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to replace such invalid, illegal or unenforceable term or provision with a valid, legal and enforceable term or provision that will achieve, to the extent possible, the economic, business and other purposes of such invalid, illegal or unenforceable term.

Section 9.10 Applicable Law; Venue. This Agreement and all Actions (whether at Law, in contract, in tort or otherwise) arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the negotiation, validity or performance of this Agreement, the Offer, the Merger or any of the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, regardless of the laws that might otherwise govern under applicable principles of conflicts of laws. All Actions (whether at Law, in contract, in tort or otherwise) arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the negotiation, validity or performance of this Agreement, the Offer or the Merger or any of the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be heard and determined in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, and the parties irrevocably submit to the jurisdiction of such court (and, in the case of appeals, the appropriate appellate court therefrom), in any such action or proceeding and irrevocably waive the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of any such action or proceeding. The consents to jurisdiction set forth in this paragraph shall not constitute general consents to service of process in the State of Delaware and shall have no effect for any purpose except as provided in this paragraph and shall not be deemed to confer rights on any Person other than the parties hereto. The parties agree that service of any court paper may be made in any manner as may be provided under the applicable Laws or court rules governing service of process in such court. The parties hereto agree that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by applicable Law.

Section 9.11 WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY. EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY THAT MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE EACH SUCH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT (INCLUDING ANY MATTERS RELATING TO THE SPONSOR). EACH PARTY CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (A) NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER, (B) EACH SUCH PARTY UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF THIS WAIVER, (C) EACH SUCH PARTY MAKES THIS WAIVER VOLUNTARILY, AND (D) EACH SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 9.11 (AND SUCH WAIVERS SHALL EXTEND TO AND BENEFIT THE SPONSOR).
