AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER

THIS AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of July 15, 2018, by and between: TIDEWATER INC., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), and GULFMARK OFFSHORE, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Company” and, together with Parent, the “Parties”). Certain capitalized terms used in this Agreement are defined in Exhibit A.

RECITALS

A. In order to effect this Agreement and the Contemplated Transactions, including the Mergers, Parent will (i) form or cause to be formed a new wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent in the form of a corporation organized in the State of Delaware (“Merger Sub”), and another new wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent in the form of a limited liability company organized in the State of Delaware (“NewCo”), and (ii) cause both Merger Sub and NewCo to become parties to this Agreement promptly following each such entity’s formation by virtue of the execution and delivery of one or more Joinder Agreements substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B.

B. The Parties intend that, at the First Merger Effective Time, Merger Sub be merged with and into the Company (the “First Merger”) in accordance with this Agreement and the DGCL. Upon consummation of the First Merger, Merger Sub will cease to exist and the Company will continue as the surviving corporation (the “Surviving Corporation”) and a wholly-owned Subsidiary of Parent.

C. As part of the Integrated Transaction, immediately following the First Merger, the Surviving Corporation will merge with and into NewCo (the “Second Merger,” and together with the First Merger, the “Mergers”) in accordance with this Agreement, the DGCL and the DLLCA. Upon consummation of the Second Merger, the Surviving Corporation will cease to exist and NewCo will continue as the surviving company (the “Surviving Company”) and a wholly-owned Subsidiary of Parent.

D. In order to induce Parent to enter into this Agreement and cause the Mergers and other Contemplated Transactions to be consummated, certain stockholders of the Company are executing voting and support agreements in favor of Parent concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement (the “Voting Agreements”).

E. The Company Board has unanimously: (i) determined that the Mergers are fair to and in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders; (ii) approved and declared advisable this Agreement and the Contemplated Transactions, including the Mergers; and (iii) recommended that the Company’s stockholders adopt this Agreement.

F. The Parent Board has unanimously: (i) determined that it is in the best interests of its stockholders for Parent to enter into this Agreement; (ii) approved this Agreement and the Parent Share Issuance; and (iii) recommended that Parent’s stockholders approve the Parent Share Issuance.

G. For U.S. federal income tax purposes, it is intended (i) that the First Merger and the Second Merger, taken together, will constitute an integrated plan (the “Integrated Transaction”) and qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations to which each of Parent, Merger Sub, NewCo and the Company are to be parties under Section 368(b) of the Code, and (ii) this Agreement is intended to constitute a “plan of reorganization” within the meaning of Sections 354, 361 and 368 of the Code.

AGREEMENT

The Parties agree as follows:

Section 1. THE MERGERS

1.1 Pre-Mergers Steps. Prior to the Company Stockholders Meeting, Parent shall form, or cause to be formed, each of Merger Sub and NewCo, in each case pursuant to the certificate of incorporation, bylaws and other organizational documents in the forms attached hereto as Exhibit C, and shall take, or cause to be taken, all necessary corporate or limited liability company actions for each of Merger Sub, NewCo and Parent (as sole equityholder of each of Merger Sub and NewCo) to adopt and approve this Agreement and the Contemplated Transactions, including the Mergers.

1.2 The Mergers.

(a) At the First Merger Effective Time, Merger Sub shall be merged with and into the Company in accordance with the DGCL and upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, whereupon the separate existence of Merger Sub shall cease and the Company shall be the Surviving Corporation. From and after the First Merger Effective Time, all the property, rights, powers, privileges and franchises of the Company and Merger Sub shall be vested in the Surviving Corporation and all of the debts, obligations, liabilities, restrictions and duties of the Company and Merger Sub shall become the debts, obligations, liabilities and duties of the Surviving Corporation, all as provided under the DGCL.

(b) At the Second Merger Effective Time, Surviving Corporation shall be merged with and into NewCo in accordance with the DGCL and DLLCA and upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, whereupon the separate existence of Surviving Corporation shall cease and NewCo shall be the Surviving Company. From and after the Second Merger Effective Time, all the property, rights, powers, privileges and franchises of the Company, Merger Sub and the Surviving Corporation shall be vested in Surviving Company and all of the debts, obligations, liabilities, restrictions and duties of the Company, Merger Sub and the Surviving Corporation shall become the debts, obligations, liabilities and duties of the Surviving Company, all as provided under the DGCL and the DLLCA.

1.3 Closing; First Merger Effective Time; Second Merger Effective Time.

(a) The closing of the Mergers (the “Closing”) shall take place on the date that is the later of (x) the third Business Day after the satisfaction or (to the extent permitted under applicable Legal Requirements) waiver of the last to be satisfied or (to the extent permitted under applicable Legal Requirements) waived of the conditions set forth in Section 6 (other than the conditions, which by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver at Closing of each of such conditions) and (y) January 3, 2019, so long as all of the conditions set forth in Section 6 (other than the conditions, which by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver at Closing of each of such conditions) have been satisfied or waived. Notwithstanding the foregoing if, on the date established by the foregoing clause (x), there is an Extension Event, then closing shall take place on the earlier of (1) the next Business Day that no Extension Event shall exist and (2) January 3, 2019, so long as, in each case of the previous clause “(1)” and “(2)”, all of the conditions set forth in Section 6 (other than the conditions, which by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver at Closing of each of such conditions) have been satisfied or waived. For the avoidance of doubt, (i) so long as all of the conditions set forth in Section 6 (other than the conditions, which by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver at Closing

2

of each of such conditions) have been satisfied or waived, the Closing shall not take place later than January 3, 2019 and (ii) nothing in this Section 1.3(a) shall affect the rights of the Parties under Section 7.1(b). The Closing shall be held at the offices of Weil, Gotshal & Manges LLP, 200 Crescent Court, Suite 300, Dallas, Texas, unless another place is agreed to in writing by Parent and the Company. The date on which the Closing actually takes place is referred to as the “Closing Date.”

(b) Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, concurrently with or as soon as practicable following the Closing, the Parties shall cause a certificate of merger with respect to the First Merger (the “First Merger Certificate”) to be duly executed and filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware and make all other filings or recordings required by the DGCL in connection with effecting the First Merger. The First Merger shall become effective at the time when the First Merger Certificate has been duly filed with and accepted by the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware or at such later time as may be agreed by the Parties in writing and specified in the First Merger Certificate (the “First Merger Effective Time”).

(c) Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, immediately following the First Merger Effective Time, the Parties shall cause a certificate of merger with respect to the Second Merger (the “Second Merger Certificate”) to be duly executed and filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware and make all other filings or recordings required by the DGCL and DLLCA in connection with effecting the Second Merger. The Second Merger shall become effective at the time when the Second Merger Certificate has been duly filed with and accepted by the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware or at such later time as may be agreed by the Parties in writing and specified in the Second Merger Certificate (the “Second Merger Effective Time”), which, unless the Parties agree otherwise, shall be immediately following the First Merger Effective Time.

1.4 Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws; Certificate of Formation and Limited Liability Company Agreement.

(a) As of the First Merger Effective Time, by virtue of the First Merger and without any further action on the part of the Company, Merger Sub or any other Person, the certificate of incorporation of the Company shall be amended to read in its entirety as the certificate of incorporation of Merger Sub as in effect immediately prior to the First Merger Effective Time (except the name shall remain GulfMark Offshore, Inc. and the provisions relating to the incorporator shall be omitted), and as so amended shall be the certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter amended as provided therein or by applicable Legal Requirements.

(b) As of the First Merger Effective Time, by virtue of the First Merger and without any further action on the part of the Company, Merger Sub or any other Person, the bylaws of the Company shall be amended to conform to the bylaws of Merger Sub as in effect immediately prior to the First Merger Effective Time, and as so amended shall be the bylaws of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter changed or amended as provided therein or by applicable Legal Requirements.

(c) As of the Second Merger Effective Time, by virtue of the Second Merger and without any further action on the part of the Surviving Corporation, NewCo or any other Person, the certificate of formation and limited liability company agreement of NewCo in effect immediately prior to the Second Merger Effective Time shall be the certificate of formation and limited liability company agreement of the Surviving Company from and after the Second Merger Effective Time until thereafter amended as provided therein or by applicable Legal Requirements.

3

1.5 Directors and Officers of the Surviving Corporation; Managers and Officers of the Surviving Company.

(a) The Parties shall take all requisite action so that, from and after the First Merger Effective Time, until their successors are duly elected or appointed and qualified in accordance with applicable Legal Requirements: (i) the directors of Merger Sub immediately prior to the First Merger Effective Time shall be the directors of the Surviving Corporation; and (ii) the officers of Merger Sub immediately prior to the First Merger Effective Time shall be the officers of the Surviving Corporation.

(b) From and after the Second Merger Effective Time, until their successors are duly elected or appointed and qualified in accordance with applicable Legal Requirements: (i) the managers of NewCo immediately prior to the Second Merger Effective Time shall be the managers of the Surviving Company; and (ii) the officers of the Surviving Corporation immediately prior to the Second Merger Effective Time shall be the officers of the Surviving Company.

1.6 Conversion of Securities. At the First Merger Effective Time, by virtue of the First Merger and without any further action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or any stockholder of the Company:

(a) all shares of Company Common Stock that are held in the Company’s treasury or held, directly or indirectly, by any Parent Entity immediately prior to the First Merger Effective Time shall be cancelled and cease to exist and no consideration shall be paid or payable in respect thereof;

(b) except as provided in Section 1.6(a), and subject to Section 1.7, Section 1.11 and Section 1.13 each share of Company Common Stock that is outstanding immediately prior to the First Merger Effective Time (including any shares of Company Common Stock that are held, directly or indirectly, by any Company Entity (other than the Company)) shall be converted into the right to receive 1.100 of a fully paid, validly issued and nonassessable share of Parent Common Stock (as such number may be adjusted in accordance with Section 1.7, the “Exchange Ratio”); and

(c) each share of Merger Sub common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the First Merger Effective Time shall be converted into one fully paid, validly issued and nonassessable share of common stock of the Surviving Corporation.

1.7 Certain Adjustments. If, during the period from the date of this Agreement through the First Merger Effective Time, the outstanding shares of Parent Common Stock or Company Common Stock are changed into a different number or class of shares by reason of any stock split, division or subdivision of shares, stock dividend, reverse stock split, consolidation of shares, reorganization, reclassification, recapitalization or other similar transaction, or a record date with respect to any such event shall occur during such period, then the Exchange Ratio shall be adjusted to the extent appropriate to provide the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such action.

1.8 Company Stock-Based Awards.

(a) Effective as of the First Merger Effective Time, each Company RSU with respect to which shares of Company Common Stock remain unvested or unissued as of the First Merger Effective Time and each right of any kind, contingent or accrued, to receive shares of Company Common Stock or benefits measured in whole or in part by the value of a number of shares of Company Common Stock granted by the Company and outstanding as of the First Merger Effective Time (each, a “Company Stock-Based Award”), shall, in each case, be converted automatically into a substantially similar award for, or with respect to, Parent Common Stock, and shall remain subject to the vesting and other conditions in effect on such date with respect to such award, except to the extent that such vesting schedule is accelerated or otherwise affected as a result of the Contemplated Transactions, and the number of shares of Parent Common Stock subject to each such assumed award shall be determined by multiplying: (i) the

4

number of shares of Company Common Stock that were subject to such Company Stock-Based Award immediately prior to the First Merger Effective Time; by (ii) the Exchange Ratio, and rounding the resulting number down to the nearest whole number of shares of Parent Common Stock with any fraction of a share of Parent Common Stock resulting from such rounding converted into a right to receive a cash payment calculated in accordance with Section 1.11; provided, however, that the Parent Board or a committee thereof shall succeed to the authority and responsibility of the Company Board or any committee thereof with respect to each such assumed Company Stock-Based Award.

(b) Immediately following the First Merger Effective Time, no holder of Company Stock-Based Awards, nor any participant in any Company Equity Plan, Company Employee Plan or employee benefit arrangement of the Company Entities, or any individual party to an employment agreement or arrangement with the Company Entities shall have any right hereunder or thereunder to acquire any equity interest (including any “phantom” stock or stock appreciation right) or to receive cash in respect of any equity interest in any of the Company Entities or the Surviving Corporation.

(c) The Company shall take further actions as may be required to cause the conversion of each Company Stock-Based Award as is set forth in this Section 1.8 to comply with or be exempt from Section 409A of the Code, as may be reasonably requested by Parent. Parent shall reserve for issuance a number of shares of Parent Common Stock at least equal to the number of shares of Parent Common Stock that will be subject to the Company Stock-Based Awards as a result of the actions contemplated by this Section 1.8.

1.9 Treatment of Certain Company Common Stock. If any shares of Company Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the First Merger Effective Time are unvested or are subject to a repurchase option, risk of forfeiture or other condition under any applicable restricted stock purchase agreement or other Contract with the Company or under which the Company has any rights, then (except to the extent provided in any binding agreement between the Company and the holder thereof): (i) the shares of Parent Common Stock issued in exchange for such shares of Company Common Stock will also be unvested and subject to the same repurchase option, risk of forfeiture or other condition; and (ii) the certificates representing such shares of Parent Common Stock (or non-certificated shares of Parent Common Stock represented by book entry positions) may accordingly be marked or noted with appropriate legends. Prior to the First Merger Effective Time, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that, from and after the First Merger Effective Time, Parent is entitled to exercise any such repurchase option or other right set forth in any such restricted stock purchase agreement or other Contract.

1.10 Treatment of Company Warrants. Effective as of the First Merger Effective Time, each Company Warrant that is outstanding immediately prior to the First Merger Effective Time shall cease to represent a right to acquire Company Common Stock and shall be converted automatically into a warrant representing a right to acquire Parent Common Stock, on substantially the same terms and conditions as applied to such Company Warrant immediately prior to the First Merger Effective Time, except that: (i) the number of shares of Parent Common Stock subject to each assumed Company Warrant shall be determined by multiplying: (A) the number of shares of Company Common Stock that were subject to such Company Warrant immediately prior to the First Merger Effective Time; by (B) the Exchange Ratio, and rounding the resulting number down to the nearest whole number of shares of Parent Common Stock, with any fractional share of Parent Common Stock resulting from such rounding converted into a right to receive a cash payment (rounded up to the nearest whole cent), without interest and subject to any required Tax withholding, determined by multiplying such fractional share of Parent Common Stock by the closing price of a share of Parent Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange on the trading day immediately prior to the First Merger Effective Time (after aggregating all fractional shares of Parent Common Stock issuable to such holder); and (ii) the strike price shall not be

5

modified; provided, however, that (1) the Parent Board or a committee thereof shall succeed to the authority and responsibility of the Company Board or any committee thereof with respect to each such assumed Company Warrant, and (2) Parent shall, as promptly as practicable following the First Merger Effective Time, provide notice of such conversion, together with all material terms thereof (including the number and type of the securities issuable upon exercise) to the applicable warrant agent and the holders of the Company Warrants. Parent shall reserve for issuance a number of shares of Parent Common Stock at least equal to the number of shares of Parent Common Stock that will be subject to the Company Warrants as a result of the actions contemplated by this Section 1.10. In connection with the consummation of the Contemplated Transactions, Parent will reasonably cooperate with the Company with respect to the notification and related requirements under the agreements governing the Company Warrants.

1.11 No Fractional Shares.

(a) No fractional shares of Parent Common Stock shall be issued in connection with the First Merger, and no certificates or scrip for any such fractional shares shall be issued.

(b) Any holder of Company Common Stock who would otherwise be entitled to receive a fraction of a share of Parent Common Stock (after aggregating all fractional shares of Parent Common Stock issuable to such holder) shall, in lieu of such fraction of a share and upon surrender of such holder’s Company Stock Certificate(s) or cancellation of such holder’s Book Entry Shares of Company Common Stock, be paid in cash the dollar amount (rounded up to the nearest whole cent), without interest and subject to any required Tax withholding, determined by multiplying such fractional share of Parent Common Stock by the average closing price of a share of Parent Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange for the 10 most recent trading days that Parent Common Stock has traded ending on the trading day one day prior to the Closing Date. The Parties acknowledge that payment of the cash consideration in lieu of fractional shares of Parent Common Stock was not separately bargained-for consideration but merely represents mechanical rounding off for purposes of avoiding the expense and inconvenience to Parent that would otherwise be caused by the issuance of fractional shares of Parent Common Stock.

1.12 Closing of Transfer Books. At the First Merger Effective Time:

(a) all shares of Company Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the First Merger Effective Time shall automatically be cancelled and retired and shall cease to exist, and all holders of Company Stock Certificate(s) and of Book Entry Shares of Company Common Stock shall cease to have any rights as stockholders of the Company, except the right to receive shares of Parent Common Stock as contemplated by Section 1.6, cash in lieu of any fractional share of Parent Common Stock pursuant to Section 1.11 and any dividends or other distributions pursuant to Section 1.13(c); and

(b) the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed with respect to all shares of Company Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the First Merger Effective Time and no further transfer of any such shares of Company Common Stock shall be made on such stock transfer books after the First Merger Effective Time. If, after the First Merger Effective Time, a valid Company Stock Certificate or a Book Entry Share of Company Common Stock is presented to the Exchange Agent or to the Surviving Corporation or Parent, such Company Stock Certificate or Book Entry Share of Company Common Stock shall be cancelled and shall be exchanged as provided in Section 1.13.

6

1.13 Exchange of Certificates and Cancellation of Book Entry Positions.

(a) Prior to the Closing Date, Parent shall select Parent’s transfer agent or another bank or trust company reasonably satisfactory to Parent and the Company to act as exchange agent in the First Merger (the “Exchange Agent”) and shall enter into an agreement reasonably acceptable to Parent and the Company with the Exchange Agent relating to the services to be performed by the Exchange Agent. Prior to the First Merger Effective Time, Parent shall cause to be deposited with the Exchange Agent: (i) subject to Section 1.9, certificates representing the shares of Parent Common Stock issuable pursuant to Section 1.6; and (ii) cash sufficient to make payments in lieu of fractional shares in accordance with Section 1.11. The shares of Parent Common Stock and cash amounts so deposited with the Exchange Agent pursuant to this Section 1.13(a), together with any dividends or distributions received by the Exchange Agent with respect to such shares of Parent Common Stock, are referred to collectively as the “Exchange Fund.”

(b) As soon as practicable after the First Merger Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Exchange Agent to mail to the Persons who were record holders of Company Stock Certificates or holders of Book Entry Shares of Company Common Stock immediately prior to the First Merger Effective Time: (i) a letter of transmittal in customary form and containing such provisions as Parent may reasonably specify and the Company shall reasonably approve prior to the First Merger Effective Time (including a provision (A) confirming that delivery of Company Stock Certificates or Book Entry Shares of Company Common Stock shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to Company Stock Certificates or Book Entry Shares of Company Common Stock shall pass, only upon delivery of such Company Stock Certificates or Book Entry Shares of Company Common Stock to the Exchange Agent, and (B) requiring certification by the holders of Company Stock Certificates or Book Entry Shares of Company Common Stock of their status as a U.S. citizen, as is reasonably necessary and contemplated by the Certificate of Incorporation of Parent); and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of Company Stock Certificates or cancellation of Book Entry Shares of Company Common Stock in exchange for shares of Parent Common Stock, cash in lieu of any fractional shares in accordance with Section 1.11 and any dividends or other distributions pursuant to Section 1.13(c). Upon surrender of a Company Stock Certificate to the Exchange Agent or cancellation of Book Entry Shares of Company Common Stock for exchange, together with a duly executed letter of transmittal and such other documents as may be reasonably required by the Exchange Agent or Parent: (A) the holder of such Company Stock Certificate or Book Entry Shares of Company Common Stock shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor the number of whole shares of Parent Common Stock that such holder has the right to receive pursuant to the provisions of Section 1.6 (and cash in lieu of any fractional shares in accordance with Section 1.11 and any dividends or other distributions pursuant to Section 1.13(c)); and (B) the Company Stock Certificate or Book Entry Share of Company Common Stock so surrendered shall be cancelled. Until surrendered or cancelled as contemplated by this Section 1.13(b), each Company Stock Certificate or Book Entry Share of Company Common Stock shall be deemed, from and after the First Merger Effective Time, to represent only the right to receive shares of Parent Common Stock pursuant to Section 1.6 (and cash in lieu of any fractional shares in accordance with Section 1.11 and any dividends or other distributions pursuant to Section 1.13(c)). In the event of a transfer of ownership of Company Common Stock which is not registered in the transfer records of the Company, shares of Parent Common Stock may be issued to a Person other than the Person in whose name the Company Stock Certificates or Book Entry Shares of Company Common Stock, as applicable, so surrendered are registered, if such Company Stock Certificates or Book Entry Shares of Company Common Stock, as applicable, so surrendered are registered, shall be properly endorsed or otherwise be in proper form and with proper evidence for transfer and the person requesting such issuance shall pay any transfer, stamp or other similar Taxes required by reason of the issuance of shares of Parent Common Stock to a person other than the registered holder of such Company Stock Certificates or Book Entry Shares of Company Common Stock, or establish to the satisfaction of Parent that such Tax has been paid or is not applicable. If any Company

7

Stock Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, Parent may, in its reasonable discretion and as a condition to the issuance of any shares of Parent Common Stock, require the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed Company Stock Certificate to provide an appropriate affidavit and to deliver a bond (in such sum as Parent may reasonably direct) as indemnity against any claim that may be made against the Exchange Agent, Parent or the Surviving Corporation with respect to such Company Stock Certificate.

(c) No dividends or other distributions declared or made with respect to Parent Common Stock with a record date after the First Merger Effective Time shall be paid or otherwise delivered to the holder of any unsurrendered Company Stock Certificate or Book Entry Share of Company Common Stock with respect to the shares of Parent Common Stock that such holder has the right to receive in the First Merger until the later to occur of: (i) the date on which the holder surrenders such Company Stock Certificate or Book Entry Share of Company Common Stock in accordance with this Section 1.13; and (ii) the payment date for such dividend or distribution with respect to Parent Common Stock (at which time such holder shall be entitled, subject to the effect of applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar laws, to receive all such dividends and distributions, without interest).

(d) Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains undistributed to holders of Company Stock Certificates or Book Entry Shares of Company Common Stock as of the date that is six months after the date on which the First Merger becomes effective shall be delivered to Parent upon demand. Any holders of Company Stock Certificates or Book Entry Shares of Company Common Stock who have not theretofore surrendered their Company Stock Certificates or Book Entry Shares of Company Common Stock in accordance with this Section 1.13 shall thereafter look only to Parent for, and be entitled to receive from Parent, shares of Parent Common Stock that such holder has the right to receive pursuant to the provisions of Section 1.6, cash in lieu of fractional shares in accordance with Section 1.11 and any dividends or distributions with respect to shares of Parent Common Stock pursuant to Section 1.13(c).

(e) Neither Parent nor the Surviving Corporation shall be liable to any holder or former holder of Company Common Stock or to any other Person with respect to any shares of Parent Common Stock (or dividends or distributions with respect thereto), or for any cash amounts, delivered to any public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property law, escheat law or other similar Legal Requirement.

1.14 Corporate Governance Matters. Unless otherwise agreed to by Parent and the Company prior to the Closing, Parent shall cause the Parent Board, at the First Merger Effective Time, to consist of the ten members identified on Schedule 1.14 in each case to hold office from and after the First Merger Effective Time until the earliest to occur of the appointment or election of his or her respective successor, resignation or proper removal in accordance with applicable Legal Requirements. Parent shall cause each of the Company Designated Directors to be included in the slate of nominees recommended by the Parent Board to Parent’s stockholders for election as directors at the next annual meeting of Parent stockholders to occur following the First Merger Effective Time and shall use no less rigorous efforts to solicit proxies in favor of the Company Designated Directors than the manner in which Parent supports all other nominees proposed by the Parent Board. Each of the Company Designated Directors shall receive compensation from Parent for his or her service as a director that is consistent with the compensation of other non-employee members of the Parent Board. If, following the Closing, (i) the Parent Board determines in good faith that including a Company Designated Director in the slate of nominees for election as a director at the next annual meeting in accordance with the provisions above would be a breach of its fiduciary duties under applicable Legal Requirement, or (ii) any Company Designated Director resigns or is unable to serve for any other reason prior to the first anniversary following the next annual meeting (in each case, a “Removed Designee”), then, in each case, the remaining Company Designated Directors shall select a replacement for such Removed Designee that is reasonably

8

satisfactory to the Parent Board, consistent with the standards and processes followed by the Parent Board in connection with the appointment of directors in accordance with past practice, including with respect to independence requirements.

1.15 Further Action.

(a) If, at any time after the First Merger Effective Time, any further action is determined by Parent or the Surviving Corporation to be necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement or to vest the Surviving Corporation with full right, title and possession of and to all rights and property of Merger Sub and the Company, the officers and directors of the Surviving Corporation and Parent shall be fully authorized (in the name of Merger Sub, in the name of the Company and otherwise) to take such action

(b) If, at any time after the Second Merger Effective Time, any further action is determined by Parent or the Surviving Company to be necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement or to vest the Surviving Company with full right, title and possession of and to all rights and property of the Surviving Corporation, Merger Sub and the Company, the officers, directors and member(s) (as applicable) of the Surviving Company and Parent shall be fully authorized (in the name of Surviving Corporation, in the name of Merger Sub, in the name of the Company and otherwise) to take such action.

1.16 Withholding. Each of the Exchange Agent, Parent, Surviving Company and the Surviving Corporation shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as are required to be deducted and withheld with respect to the making of such payment under the Code, or under any provision of state, local or foreign Tax law. To the extent that amounts are so deducted and withheld and remitted to the applicable Governmental Body, such amounts will be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made by the Exchange Agent, Parent, the Surviving Company or the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be.

1.17 Conversion of Surviving Corporation Stock in the Second Merger. As of the Second Merger Effective Time, by virtue of the Second Merger and without any further action on the part of the Surviving Corporation, NewCo or any other Person, each share of common stock of the Surviving Corporation issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Second Merger Effective Time shall automatically be cancelled and retired and shall cease to exist, and no consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor.

provided, however, that prior to the adoption of this Agreement by the Required Company Stockholder Vote, neither this Section 4.4(a) nor any other provision of this Agreement shall prohibit the Company from furnishing any information regarding, or affording any Person access to the business, properties, assets, books or records of any of the Company Entities to, or engaging in discussions and negotiations

55

with any Person (it being understood that clause “(i)” above shall not prohibit discussions and negotiations otherwise permitted by this proviso) in response to an Acquisition Proposal with respect to the Company that is submitted to the Company by such Person after the date hereof (and not withdrawn) that the Company Board concludes in good faith, after consulting with its outside legal counsel and financial advisors, could reasonably be expected to result in a Company Superior Offer if: (A) such Acquisition Proposal did not result from any material breach of any of the provisions set forth in this Section 4.4 or Section 5.2(b); (B) the Company Board concludes in good faith, after having consulted with its outside legal counsel, that failure to take such action could reasonably be expected to constitute a breach of the fiduciary duties of the Company Board under applicable Legal Requirements; (C) at least one Business Day prior to furnishing any such nonpublic information or public access to, or entering into discussions or negotiations with, such Person, the Company gives Parent written notice of the identity of such Person and of the Company’s intention to furnish nonpublic information or access to, or enter into discussions with, such Person, and the Company receives from such Person an executed confidentiality agreement containing (x) customary non-solicitation provisions and (y) other provisions (including nondisclosure provisions and use restrictions) that are at least as favorable to the Company as the provisions of the Confidentiality Agreement as in effect immediately prior to the execution of this Agreement, which confidentiality agreement shall not include any provisions that would prevent or restrict the Company or the Company’s Representatives from providing any information to Parent to which Parent would be entitled under any provision of this Agreement (provided, however, that no such confidentiality agreement need include “standstill” provisions); and (D) substantially concurrently with the furnishing of any such nonpublic information to such Person, the Company furnishes such nonpublic information to Parent (to the extent such nonpublic information has not been previously furnished by the Company to Parent).

(b) From the date hereof until the earlier of the First Merger Effective Time and the termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, Parent shall not, shall cause its Subsidiaries and the respective officers, directors, financial advisers, attorneys and accountants of the Parent Entities to not, and shall use its reasonable best efforts to ensure that the other Representatives of the Parent Entities do not, in each case, directly or indirectly:

(i) solicit, initiate, knowingly encourage or knowingly facilitate the making, submission or announcement of any Acquisition Proposal with respect to Parent or Acquisition Inquiry with respect to Parent;

(v) enter into any letter of intent or similar document or any Contract (other than a confidentiality agreement on the terms described below) contemplating or otherwise relating to any Acquisition Transaction with respect to Parent;

56

provided, however, that prior to the approval of the Parent Share Issuance by the Required Parent Stockholder Vote, neither this Section 4.4(b) nor any other provision of this Agreement shall prohibit Parent from furnishing any information regarding, or affording any Person access to the business, properties, assets, books or records of any of the Parent Entities to, or engaging in discussions and negotiations with any Person (it being understood that clause “(i)” above shall not prohibit discussions and negotiations otherwise permitted by this proviso) in response to an Acquisition Proposal with respect to Parent that is submitted to Parent by such Person after the date hereof (and not withdrawn) that the Parent Board concludes in good faith, after consulting with its outside legal counsel and financial advisors, could reasonably be expected to result in a Parent Superior Offer if: (A) such Acquisition Proposal did not result from any material breach of any of the provisions set forth in this Section 4.4 or Section 5.3(b); (B) the Parent Board concludes in good faith, after having consulted with its outside legal counsel, that failure to take such action could reasonably be expected to constitute a breach of the fiduciary duties of the Parent Board under applicable Legal Requirements; (C) at least one Business Day prior to furnishing any such nonpublic information or public access to, or entering into discussions or negotiations with, such Person, Parent gives the Company written notice of the identity of such Person and of Parent’s intention to furnish nonpublic information or access to, or enter into discussions with, such Person, and Parent receives from such Person an executed confidentiality agreement containing (x) customary non-solicitation provisions and (y) other provisions (including nondisclosure provisions and use restrictions) that are at least as favorable to Parent as the provisions of the Confidentiality Agreement as in effect immediately prior to the execution of this Agreement, which confidentiality agreement shall not include any provisions that would prevent or restrict Parent or Parent’s Representatives from providing any information to the Company to which the Company would be entitled under any provision of this Agreement (provided, however, that no such confidentiality agreement need include “standstill” provisions); and (D) substantially concurrently with the furnishing of any such nonpublic information to such Person, Parent furnishes such nonpublic information to the Company (to the extent such nonpublic information has not been previously furnished by Parent to the Company).

(c) Each of Parent and the Company shall promptly (and in no event later than 24 hours after receipt of any Acquisition Proposal with respect to the Company or Parent, as the case may be, or Acquisition Inquiry with respect to the Company or Parent, as the case may be) advise the other Party to this Agreement in writing of any such Acquisition Proposal or Acquisition Inquiry (including the identity of the Person making or submitting such Acquisition Proposal or Acquisition Inquiry and the terms thereof and copies of all correspondence and other written material sent or provided to such Party in connection therewith) that is made or submitted by any Person during the Pre-Closing Period (including copies of any written offer). Each Party receiving an Acquisition Proposal or Acquisition Inquiry with respect to such Party, as the case may, be shall keep the other Party reasonably informed with respect to: (i) the status of any such Acquisition Proposal or Acquisition Inquiry; and (ii) the status and terms of any material modification or proposed material modification thereto.

(d) Each of Parent and the Company shall immediately cease and cause to be terminated any discussions existing as of the date of this Agreement between any of the Parent Entities or any of their Representatives, or any of the Company Entities or any of their Representatives, and any other Person that relate to any Acquisition Proposal or Acquisition Inquiry with respect to the Company or Parent, as the case may be.

(e) Each of Parent and the Company agrees not to release or permit the release of any Person from, or to waive or permit the waiver of any provision of, any confidentiality, non-solicitation, no hire, “standstill” or similar Contract to which any such Party or any of its Subsidiaries is a Party or under which any such Party or any of its Subsidiaries has any rights, and will use its reasonable best efforts to cause each such agreement to be enforced in accordance with its terms at the request of the other Party to this Agreement.

Each of the parties shall use reasonable best efforts: (i) to cause the Form S-4 Registration Statement and the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus to comply with the applicable rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC; (ii) to promptly notify the other of, cooperate with each other with respect to and respond promptly to any comments of the SEC or its staff (including providing the other Party a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such response); (iii) to have the Form S-4 Registration Statement declared effective under the Securities Act as promptly as practicable after it is filed with the SEC; and (iv) to keep the Form S-4 Registration Statement effective through the Closing in order to permit the consummation of the First Merger.

Each of the Parties shall promptly furnish the other Parties all information concerning such Party, its Subsidiaries and stockholders that may be required or reasonably requested in connection with any action contemplated by this Section 5.1. For the avoidance of doubt, no filing of the Form S-4 Registration Statement will be made by Parent without providing the Company with a reasonable opportunity to review and comment thereon. If any Party becomes aware of any information that should be disclosed in an amendment or supplement to the Form S-4 Registration Statement or the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus, then such Party: (i) shall promptly inform the other Party thereof; (ii) shall provide the other Party (and its counsel) with a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on any amendment or supplement to the Form S-4 Registration Statement or the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus prior to it being filed with the SEC; (iii) shall provide the other Party with a copy of such amendment or supplement promptly after it is filed with the SEC; and (iv) if mailing is appropriate, shall cooperate in mailing such amendment or supplement to the stockholders of the Company or the stockholders of Parent.

5.2 Company Stockholders Meeting.

(a) The Company: (i) shall take all action necessary under all applicable Legal Requirements to, as promptly as reasonably practicable following the date the Form S-4 Registration Statement is declared effective under the Securities Act, call, give notice of and hold a meeting of the holders of Company Common Stock to vote on a proposal to adopt this Agreement (the “Company Stockholders Meeting”); and (ii) shall submit such proposal to, and, unless the Company Board has effected a Company Change in Recommendation in compliance with Section 5.2(c), shall use its reasonable best efforts to solicit proxies in favor of such proposal from, such holders at the Company

58

Stockholders Meeting and shall not submit any other proposals to such holders in connection with the Company Stockholders Meeting (other than (x) a customary proposal regarding adjournment of the Company Stockholders Meeting, and (y) a proposal to the extent required by applicable Legal Requirements to approve compensation arrangements for the Executive Officers of the Company) without the prior written consent of Parent. The Company, in consultation with Parent, shall set a record date for Persons entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Company Stockholders Meeting and shall not change such record date without the prior written consent of Parent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). The Company Stockholders Meeting shall be held on a date mutually selected by the Company and Parent, within 45 days following the date upon which the Form S-4 Registration Statement is declared effective under the Securities Act. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to ensure that all proxies solicited in connection with the Company Stockholders Meeting are solicited in compliance with all applicable Legal Requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement: (A) the Company shall not postpone or adjourn the Company Stockholders Meeting without the consent of Parent, other than: (1) to the extent necessary to ensure that any supplement or amendment to the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus that is required by applicable Legal Requirements is disclosed to the Company’s stockholders within a reasonable amount of time in advance of the Company Stockholders Meeting; or (2) if as of the time for which the Company Stockholders Meeting is scheduled there are insufficient shares of Company Common Stock represented (either in person or by proxy) to constitute a quorum necessary to conduct the business to be conducted at the Company Stockholders Meeting, to the extent necessary to obtain such a quorum; and (B) the Company shall adjourn the Company Stockholders Meeting if Parent reasonably requests such adjournment in order to solicit additional proxies in favor of the adoption of this Agreement, in which case, the Company shall, unless the Company Board has effected a Company Change in Recommendation in compliance with Section 5.2(c), use its reasonable best efforts during any such adjournment to solicit and obtain such proxies in favor of the adoption of this Agreement as soon as reasonably practicable; provided, however, that with respect to this clause “(B),” Parent shall be entitled to request such adjournment twice and, in any event, for no more than 7 days in each instance and in no event shall such adjournment be extended to a date that would necessitate the Company setting a new record date under applicable Legal Requirements. Subject to applicable Legal Requirements: (x) the Company shall cooperate with Parent and use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Company Stockholders Meeting to be held on the same date as the Parent Stockholders Meeting; and (y) if, notwithstanding such efforts, the Parent Stockholders Meeting is held prior to the Company Stockholders Meeting, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause its meeting to be held as promptly as reasonably practicable following the date of the Parent Stockholders Meeting.

(b) Subject to Section 5.2(c): (i) the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus shall include a statement to the effect that the Company Board recommends that the Company’s stockholders vote to adopt this Agreement at the Company Stockholders Meeting (such recommendation of the Company Board that the Company’s stockholders vote to adopt this Agreement being referred to as the “Company Board Recommendation”); (ii) the Company Board Recommendation shall not be withdrawn or modified in a manner adverse to Parent; and (iii) neither the Company Board nor any committee thereof shall: (A) fail to include the Company Board Recommendation in the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus, (B) fail to reaffirm the Company Board Recommendation, or fail to publicly state that the First Merger and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are in the best interest of the Company’s stockholders, within 10 Business Days after Parent reasonably requests (which requests shall be limited to no more than once every 30 days) in writing that such action be taken, (C) fail to publicly announce, within 10 Business Days after a tender offer or exchange offer with respect to the securities of a Company Entity shall have been commenced by the filing of a Schedule TO with respect thereto, a statement disclosing that the Company Board recommends rejection of such tender or exchange offer; (D) fail to issue, within 10 Business Days following a request by Parent after an Acquisition Proposal with respect to a Company Entity is publicly announced, a press release announcing its opposition to such

59

Acquisition Proposal; or (E) resolve or publicly propose to take any action described in clauses “(ii)” or “(iii)” of this sentence (each of the foregoing actions described in clauses “(ii)” and “(iii)” being referred to as a “Company Change in Recommendation”).

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 5.2(b) or elsewhere in this Agreement, at any time prior to the adoption of this Agreement by the Required Company Stockholder Vote, the Company Board may effect, or cause the Company to effect, as the case may be, a Company Change in Recommendation and not include the Company Board Recommendation in the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus (which shall constitute a Company Change in Recommendation):

(i) if: (A) the Company has not materially breached its obligations under Section 4.4(a) or Section 5.2(b) in connection with the Acquisition Proposal referred to in the following clause “(B);” (B) after the date of this Agreement, an unsolicited, bona fide, written Acquisition Proposal is made to the Company and is not withdrawn; (C) the Company Board determines in its good faith judgment, after consulting with its financial advisor and outside legal counsel, that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Company Superior Offer; (D) the Company Board does not effect, or cause the Company to effect, a Company Change in Recommendation at any time within five Business Days after Parent receives written notice from the Company confirming that the Company Board has determined that such Acquisition Proposal is a Company Superior Offer (together with a written summary of the Company Superior Offer and setting forth the identity of the Person making such Company Superior Offer and all the material terms and conditions of such Company Superior Offer in reasonable detail) (it being understood and agreed that any revision or modification in any material respect to such Company Superior Offer after such written notice shall require a new written notice by the Company to Parent in compliance with this clause “(D)” and a new matching period under clause “(E)” below, except that such written notice and matching period shall be three Business Days); (E) during such five Business Day period, if requested by Parent, the Company engages in good faith negotiations with Parent and its Representatives and directs its financial advisors and outside legal advisors to engage in good faith negotiations with Parent and its Representatives, the intent and purpose of which is to amend this Agreement in such a manner that the Acquisition Proposal that was determined to constitute a Company Superior Offer no longer constitutes a Company Superior Offer, so that the transactions contemplated hereby may be effected; (F) at the end of such five Business Day period, such offer has not been withdrawn and continues to constitute a Company Superior Offer (taking into account any changes to the terms of this Agreement proposed by Parent as a result of the negotiations required by clause “(E)” or otherwise); and (G) the Company Board determines in good faith, after having consulted with its outside legal counsel, that, in light of such Company Superior Offer, the failure to make a Company Change in Recommendation could reasonably be expected to constitute a breach of the fiduciary duties of the Company Board to the Company’s stockholders under applicable Legal Requirements; or

(ii) if: (A) a material development or change in circumstances that is not related to an Acquisition Proposal with respect to a Company Entity occurs or arises after the date of this Agreement that was not known by, nor reasonably foreseeable to, the Company Board as of the date of this Agreement (such material development or change in circumstances being referred to as a “Company Intervening Event”); (B) at least seven Business Days prior to making a Company Change in Recommendation, the Company provides Parent with a written notice specifying the material information with respect to such Company Intervening Event and that it intends to make a Company Change in Recommendation; (C) during such seven Business Day period, if requested by Parent, the Company engages in good faith negotiations with Parent and its Representatives and directs its financial advisors and outside legal advisors to engage in good faith negotiations with Parent and its Representatives, to amend this Agreement in such a

60

manner that obviates the need for the Company Board to effect, or cause the Company to effect, a Company Change in Recommendation as a result of such Company Intervening Event; and (D) at the end of such seven Business Day period, the Company Board determines in good faith, after having consulted with its outside legal counsel, that, in light of such Company Intervening Event, the failure to make a Company Change in Recommendation could reasonably be expected to constitute a breach of the fiduciary duties of the Company Board to the Company’s stockholders under applicable Legal Requirements.

(d) Notwithstanding any Company Change in Recommendation, unless this Agreement is earlier terminated in accordance with Section 7.1, this Agreement shall be submitted to the holders of the Company’s Common Stock at the Company Stockholders Meeting for the purpose of voting on the adoption of this Agreement and nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to relieve the Company of such obligation.

(e) Nothing contained in this Section 5.2 or elsewhere in this Agreement shall be deemed to prohibit the Company, the Company Board or any committee thereof from: (i) issuing any “stop-look-and-listen” communication to the stockholders of the Company pursuant to Rule 14d-9(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act; (ii) taking and disclosing to the stockholders of the Company a position with respect to a tender or exchange offer by a third party pursuant to Rule 14d-9 or Rule 14e-2 promulgated under the Exchange Act; or (iii) if required by applicable Legal Requirements, issuing a press release disclosing that the Company has received a bona fide, written Acquisition Proposal that the Company Board has determined in compliance with Section 4.4(a) could reasonably be expected to result in a Company Superior Offer (provided, that (A) such Acquisition Proposal did not result from a material breach of Section 4.4, and (B) the Company provides Parent, at least one Business Day prior to release of such press release, a copy of such press release); provided, that, in the case of clause “(ii)” and “(iii)” of this sentence, any such disclosure shall be deemed to be a withdrawal or modification of the Company Board Recommendation if the Company Board fails to expressly and publicly reaffirm the Company Board Recommendation in such disclosure or communication.

5.3 Parent Stockholders Meeting.

(a) Parent: (i) shall take all action necessary under all applicable Legal Requirements to, as promptly as reasonably practicable following the date the Form S-4 Registration Statement is declared effective under the Securities Act, call, give notice of and hold a meeting of the holders of Parent Common Stock to vote on a proposal to approve the Parent Share Issuance (the “Parent Stockholders Meeting”); and (ii) shall submit such proposal to, and, unless the Parent Board has effected a Parent Change in Recommendation in compliance with Section 5.3(c), shall use its reasonable best efforts to solicit proxies in favor of such proposal from, such holders at the Parent Stockholders Meeting and shall not submit any other proposals to such holders in connection with the Parent Stockholders Meeting (other than a customary proposal regarding adjournment of the Parent Stockholders Meeting) without the prior written consent of the Company. Parent, in consultation with the Company, shall set a record date for Persons entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Parent Stockholders Meeting and shall not change such record date without the prior written consent of the Company (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). The Parent Stockholders Meeting shall be held on a date mutually selected by Parent and the Company, within 45 days following the date upon which the Form S-4 Registration Statement is declared effective under the Securities Act. Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts to ensure that all proxies solicited in connection with the Parent Stockholders Meeting are solicited in compliance with all applicable Legal Requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement: (A) Parent shall not postpone or adjourn the Parent Stockholders Meeting without the consent of the Company, other than: (1) to the extent necessary to ensure that any supplement or amendment to the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus that is required by applicable Legal Requirements

61

is disclosed to Parent’s stockholders within a reasonable amount of time in advance of the Parent Stockholders Meeting; or (2) if as of the time for which the Parent Stockholders Meeting is scheduled there are insufficient shares of Parent Common Stock represented (either in person or by proxy) to constitute a quorum necessary to conduct the business to be conducted at the Parent Stockholders Meeting, to the extent necessary to obtain such a quorum; and (B) Parent shall adjourn the Parent Stockholders Meeting if the Company reasonably requests such adjournment in order to solicit additional proxies in favor of the approval of the Parent Share Issuance, in which case, Parent shall, unless the Parent Board has effected a Parent Change in Recommendation in compliance with Section 5.3(c), use its reasonable best efforts during any such adjournment to solicit and obtain such proxies in favor of the approval of the Parent Share Issuance as soon as reasonably practicable; provided, however, that with respect to this clause “(B),” the Company shall be entitled to request such adjournment twice and, in any event, for no more than 7 days in each instance and in no event shall such adjournment be extended to a date that would necessitate Parent setting a new record date under applicable Legal Requirements. Subject to applicable Legal Requirements: (x) Parent shall cooperate with the Company and use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Parent Stockholders Meeting to be held on the same date as the Company Stockholders Meeting; and (y) if, notwithstanding such efforts, the Company Stockholders Meeting is held prior to the Parent Stockholders Meeting, Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause its meeting to be held as promptly as reasonably practicable following the date of the Company Stockholders Meeting.

(b) Subject to Section 5.3(c): (i) the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus shall include a statement to the effect that the Parent Board recommends that Parent’s stockholders vote to approve the Parent Share Issuance at the Parent Stockholders Meeting (such recommendation of the Parent Board that Parent’s stockholders vote to approve the Parent Share Issuance being referred to as the “Parent Board Recommendation”); (ii) the Parent Board Recommendation shall not be withdrawn or modified in a manner adverse to the Company; and (iii) neither the Parent Board nor any committee thereof shall: (A) fail to include the Parent Board Recommendation in the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus, (B) fail to reaffirm the Parent Board Recommendation, or fail to publicly state that the First Merger and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are in the best interest of Parent’s stockholders, within 10 Business Days after the Company reasonably requests (which requests shall be limited to no more than once every 30 days) in writing that such action be taken; (C) fail to publicly announce, within 10 Business Days after a tender offer or exchange offer with respect to the securities of a Parent Entity shall have been commenced by the filing of a Schedule TO with respect thereto, a statement disclosing that the Parent Board recommends rejection of such tender or exchange offer; (D) fail to issue, within 10 Business Days following a request by the Company after an Acquisition Proposal with respect to a Parent Entity is publicly announced, a press release announcing its opposition to such Acquisition Proposal; or (E) resolve or publicly propose to take any action described in clauses “(ii)” or “(iii)” of this sentence (each of the foregoing actions described in clauses “(ii)” and “(iii)” being referred to as a “Parent Change in Recommendation”).

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 5.3(b) or elsewhere in this Agreement, at any time prior to the approval of the Parent Share Issuance by the Required Parent Stockholder Vote, the Parent Board may effect, or cause Parent to effect, as the case may be, a Parent Change in Recommendation and not include the Parent Board Recommendation in the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus (which shall constitute a Parent Change in Recommendation):

(i) if: (A) Parent has not materially breached its obligations under Section 4.4(b) or Section 5.3(b) in connection with the Acquisition Proposal referred to in the following clause “(B);” (B) after the date of this Agreement, an unsolicited, bona fide, written Acquisition Proposal is made to Parent and is not withdrawn; (C) the Parent Board determines in its good faith judgment, after consulting with its financial advisor and outside legal counsel, that

62

such Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Parent Superior Offer; (D) the Parent Board does not effect, or cause Parent to effect, a Parent Change in Recommendation at any time within five Business Days after the Company receives written notice from Parent confirming that the Parent Board has determined that such Acquisition Proposal is a Parent Superior Offer (together with a written summary of the Parent Superior Offer and setting forth the identity of the Person making such Parent Superior Offer and all the material terms and conditions of such Parent Superior Offer in reasonable detail) (it being understood and agreed that any revision or modification in any material respect to such Parent Superior Offer after such written notice shall require a new written notice by Parent to the Company in compliance with this clause “(D)” and a new matching period under clause “(E)” below, except that such written notice and matching period shall be three Business Days); (E) during such five Business Day period, if requested by the Company, Parent engages in good faith negotiations with the Company and its Representatives and directs its financial advisors and outside legal advisors to engage in good faith negotiations with the Company and its Representatives, the intent and purpose of which is to amend this Agreement in such a manner that the Acquisition Proposal that was determined to constitute a Parent Superior Offer no longer constitutes a Parent Superior Offer, so that the transactions contemplated hereby may be effected; (F) at the end of such five Business Day period, such offer has not been withdrawn and continues to constitute a Parent Superior Offer (taking into account any changes to the terms of this Agreement proposed by the Company as a result of the negotiations required by clause “(E)” or otherwise); and (G) the Parent Board determines in good faith, after having consulted with its outside legal counsel, that, in light of such Parent Superior Offer, the failure to make a Parent Change in Recommendation could reasonably be expected to constitute a breach of the fiduciary duties of the Parent Board to Parent’s stockholders under applicable Legal Requirements; or

(ii) if: (A) a material development or change in circumstances that is not related to an Acquisition Proposal with respect to a Parent Entity occurs or arises after the date of this Agreement that was not known by, nor reasonably foreseeable to, the Parent Board as of the date of this Agreement (such material development or change in circumstances being referred to as a “Parent Intervening Event”); (B) at least seven Business Days prior to making a Parent Change in Recommendation, Parent provides the Company with a written notice specifying the material information with respect to such Parent Intervening Event and that it intends to make a Parent Change in Recommendation; (C) during such seven Business Day period, if requested by the Company, Parent engages in good faith negotiations with the Company and its Representatives and directs its financial advisors and outside legal advisors to engage in good faith negotiations with the Company and its Representatives, to amend this Agreement in such a manner that obviates the need for the Parent Board to effect, or cause Parent to effect, a Parent Change in Recommendation as a result of such Parent Intervening Event; and (D) at the end of such seven Business Day period, the Parent Board determines in good faith, after having consulted with its outside legal counsel, that, in light of such Parent Intervening Event, the failure to make a Parent Change in Recommendation could reasonably be expected to constitute a breach of the fiduciary duties of the Parent Board to Parent’s stockholders under applicable Legal Requirements.

(d) Notwithstanding any Parent Change in Recommendation, unless this Agreement is earlier terminated in accordance with Section 7.1, the Parent Share Issuance shall be submitted to the holders of Parent’s Common Stock at the Parent Stockholders Meeting for the purpose of voting on the approval of such matter and nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to relieve Parent of such obligation.

63

(e) Nothing contained in this Section 5.3 or elsewhere in this Agreement shall be deemed to prohibit Parent, the Parent Board or any committee thereof from: (i) issuing any “stop-look-and-listen” communication to the stockholders of Parent pursuant to Rule 14d-9(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act; (ii) taking and disclosing to the stockholders of Parent a position with respect to a tender or exchange offer by a third party pursuant to Rule 14d-9 or Rule 14e-2 promulgated under the Exchange Act; or (iii) if required by applicable Legal Requirements, issuing a press release disclosing that Parent has received a bona fide, written Acquisition Proposal that the Parent Board has determined in compliance with Section 4.4(b) could reasonably be expected to result in a Parent Superior Offer (provided, that (A) such Acquisition Proposal did not result from a material breach of Section 4.4, and (B) Parent provides the Company at least one Business Day prior to release of such press release, a copy of such press release); provided, that, in the case of clause “(ii)” and “(iii)” of this sentence, any such disclosure shall be deemed to be a withdrawal or modification of the Parent Board Recommendation if the Parent Board fails to expressly and publicly reaffirm the Parent Board Recommendation in such disclosure or communication.

5.4 Company Stock-Based Awards.

(a) Parent shall file with the SEC, as soon as reasonably practicable after the date on which the Mergers become effective, a registration statement on Form S-8, relating to the shares of Parent Common Stock issuable with respect to the Company Stock-Based Awards converted in accordance with Section 1.8 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 Company Stock-Based Awards remain outstanding and are required to be registered.

(b) At the First Merger Effective Time, Parent may (if Parent determines that it desires to do so) assume any or all of the Company Equity Plans. If Parent elects to assume a Company Equity Plan, then, under such Company Equity Plan, Parent shall be entitled to grant stock awards, to the extent permissible under applicable Legal Requirements, using the share reserves of such Company Equity Plan as of the First Merger Effective Time (including any shares returned to such share reserves as a result of the termination of Company Stock-Based Awards that are assumed and converted by Parent pursuant to Section 1.8), except that: (i) stock covered by such awards shall be shares of Parent Common Stock; (ii) all references in such Company Equity Plan to a number of shares of Company Common Stock shall be deemed amended to refer instead to a number of shares of Parent Common Stock determined by multiplying the number of referenced shares of Company Common Stock by the Exchange Ratio and rounding the resulting number down to the nearest whole number of shares of Parent Common Stock; and (iii) the Parent Board or a committee thereof shall succeed to the authority and responsibility of the Company Board or any committee thereof with respect to the administration of such Company Equity Plan.

(c) Prior to the First Merger Effective Time, the Company shall take all action that may be necessary (under any Company Equity Plan and otherwise) to effectuate the provisions of Section 1.8 and to ensure that, from and after the First Merger Effective Time, holders of Company Stock-Based Awards have only those rights with respect thereto specifically provided in Section 1.8.

5.5 Employee Benefits.

(a) For a period of at least one year following the First Merger Effective Time, Parent shall, or shall cause its applicable Subsidiaries (including the Surviving Company and any of its Subsidiaries) to (i) provide each Continuing Employee with a base salary or wage rate and cash incentive opportunities that are no less favorable than the base salary or wage rate and cash incentive opportunities

64

provided to similarly situated Parent Associates, and (ii) provide each Continuing Employee with retirement, welfare, and severance benefit plans, programs, arrangements and agreements, including with respect to historic funding and contribution levels, that are substantially comparable, in the aggregate, to those provided to similarly situated Parent Associates.

(b) All service of the Continuing Employees shall be recognized for purposes of determining eligibility to participate, vesting and accrual and level of benefits, other than in respect of accrual and level of benefits under a defined benefit pension plan, with respect to each Parent Employee Plan in which any Continuing Employee participates after the First Merger Effective Time to the same extent such service was recognized under the analogous Company Employee Plan immediately prior to the First Merger Effective Time, except to the extent such recognition would result in the duplication of benefits. In addition, Parent or Parent’s Subsidiaries (including the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries), as applicable, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause each Parent Employee Plan that is a welfare benefit plan to: (i) waive all limitations as to preexisting conditions, actively-at-work requirements, exclusions and waiting periods with respect to participation and coverage requirements other than preexisting condition limitations, actively-at-work requirements, exclusions or waiting periods that are already in effect with respect to each Continuing Employee and his or her spouse, domestic partner and dependents and that have not been satisfied or waived as of the First Merger Effective Time under the analogous welfare benefit plan maintained for such Continuing Employee and his or her spouse, domestic partner and dependents immediately prior to the First Merger Effective Time; and (ii) recognize for each Continuing Employee and his or her spouse, domestic partner and dependents for purposes of applying annual deductible, co-payment and out-of-pocket maximums under such Parent Employee Plan any deductible, co-payment and out-of-pocket expenses paid by the Continuing Employee or his or her spouse, domestic partner and dependents under an analogous Company Employee Plan during the plan year of such plan in which occurs the later of the First Merger Effective Time and the date on which the Continuing Employee begins participation in such Parent Employee Plan.

(c) Nothing in this Section 5.5 or elsewhere in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to create: (i) a right in any Company Associate to employment with Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of their Subsidiaries or shall interfere with or restrict in any way the rights of Parent or any Parent Affiliates, which rights are hereby expressly reserved, to discharge or terminate the services of any Continuing Employee at any time for any reason whatsoever, with or without cause, except to the extent prohibited by applicable Legal Requirements or expressly provided otherwise in a written agreement between Parent, the Company or any of their respective affiliates and the Continuing Employee; or (ii) other than Section 5.6 with respect to any Company Associate, or any other Person other than the Parties, any third-party rights, benefits or remedies of any nature whatsoever. Nothing herein shall constitute an amendment to any Company Employee Plan or Company Employee Agreement or Parent Employee Plan or Parent Employee Agreement or be construed to limit the right of Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of their Subsidiaries to amend or terminate any Parent Employee Plan, any Company Employee Plan or any other employee benefit plan in accordance with its terms and applicable Legal Requirements. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, nothing in this Section 5.5 shall create any third party rights in any current or former service provider of the Company or any of Company Affiliates (or any beneficiaries or dependents thereof) and nothing in this Section 5.5 shall limit the scope and effectiveness of Section 5.6.

(d) The Parties shall cooperate with one another to determine whether any Company Employee Plan that contains a cash or deferred arrangement intended to qualify under Section 401(k) of the Code (a “401(k) Plan”) will be terminated effective prior to the First Merger Effective Time. If the Company is required to terminate any 401(k) Plan as a result of such cooperation, then the Company shall provide to Parent prior to the Closing Date written evidence of the adoption by the Company Board of resolutions authorizing the termination of such 401(k) Plan (the form and substance of which resolutions shall be subject to the approval of Parent, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

65

(e) To the extent any employee notification or consultation requirements are imposed by applicable Legal Requirements with respect to any of the Contemplated Transactions, Parent and the Company shall cooperate to ensure that such requirements are complied with prior to the First Merger Effective Time.

(f) The Company and the Company Board, as applicable, shall adopt any further resolutions, deliver any required notices, and take all further actions that are necessary to cause (i) the Company’s Deferred Compensation Plan (the “DCP”), the rabbi trust associated with the DCP, and the GulfMark Offshore, Inc. 2015 Share Incentive Plan (the “UK ESPP”) to be terminated, (ii) all payments, distributions and share issuances in respect of deferred or contributed amounts under the DCP and the UK ESPP to be made, distributed, issued or otherwise finally settled, in each case, effective prior to the First Merger Effective Time and in accordance with applicable Legal Requirements and the terms of such documents. Prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall provide to Parent (i) written evidence of the adoption by the Company Board of resolutions authorizing the termination of the DCP and its associated rabbi trust and the UK ESPP, and (ii) documentary evidence of the termination of such plans and trusts and final settlement of all obligations thereunder, in each case of clauses “(i)” and “(ii)”, in accordance with Legal Requirements.

5.6 Indemnification of Officers and Directors.

(a) For a period of six years after the First Merger Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries, and from and after the Second Merger Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Surviving Company and its Subsidiaries, to indemnify and hold harmless, and provide advancement of expenses to, the current or former directors and officers and any person who becomes a director or officer of any of the Company Entities prior to the First Merger Effective Time (the “Indemnified Parties”) to the fullest extent that applicable Legal Requirements permit such company to indemnify its own directors and officers. For six years after the First Merger Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Surviving Company to maintain in effect the provisions in (i) the organizational documents of each Company Entity; and (ii) any other agreements of any Company Entity with any of Indemnified Parties, in each case, regarding elimination of liability, indemnification of officers, directors and employees and advancement of expenses that are in existence on the date of this Agreement, and no such provision shall be amended, modified or repealed in any manner that would adversely affect the rights or protections thereunder of any such Indemnified Party in respect of acts or omissions occurring or alleged to have occurred at or prior to the First Merger Effective Time (including acts or omissions occurring in connection with the approval of this Agreement and the consummation of the Merger or any of the other Contemplated Transactions).

(b) Without limiting the foregoing, for a period of six years following the First Merger Effective Time, Parent and the Surviving Corporation or Surviving Company, as applicable, shall cause to be maintained in effect the existing policy of the Company’s directors’ and officers’ liability insurance (or a comparable replacement policy) (the “D&O Policy”) covering claims arising from facts or events that occurred at or prior to the First Merger Effective Time to the extent that such claims are of the type covered by the D&O Policy (and including acts or omissions occurring in connection with this Agreement and the consummation of the Contemplated Transactions to the extent such acts or omissions are covered by the D&O Policy) and covering each Indemnified Party who is covered as of the First Merger Effective Time by the D&O Policy, in any case on terms with respect to coverage and amounts that are no less favorable in the aggregate to the insured persons than those terms in effect on the date hereof; provided, however, that in no event shall Parent or the Surviving Corporation be required to

66

expend in any one year an amount in excess of 250% of the larger of the current annual premium paid by the Company (which annual premium is set forth on Part 5.6 of the Company Disclosure Schedule) for such insurance (the larger such 250% amount, the “Maximum Annual Premium”); and provided further, however, that if the annual premium of such insurance coverage exceeds the Maximum Annual Premium, Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall be obligated to obtain a policy with the greatest comparable coverage available for a cost not exceeding the Maximum Annual Premium. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in lieu of the arrangements contemplated under the first sentence of this Section 5.6(b), Parent shall cause to be purchased prior to Closing and, upon Parent’s consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), the Company shall be entitled to purchase a six-year “tail” prepaid policy on the D&O Policy on terms with respect to coverage and amounts no less favorable in the aggregate to the insured persons than the D&O Policy, and in the event that Parent or the Company shall purchase such a “tail” policy, Parent, the Surviving Corporation or Surviving Company, as applicable, shall maintain such “tail” policy in full force and effect and cause all obligations thereunder to be honored by the Surviving Corporation or Surviving Company, as applicable, in lieu of all other applicable obligations of Parent and the Surviving Corporation or Surviving Company, as applicable, under the first sentence of this Section 5.6(b) for so long as such “tail” policy shall be maintained in full force and effect.

(c) The obligations under this Section 5.6 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 Policy or the “tail” policy referred to in Section 5.6(b) and any of such person’s heirs and representatives) without the prior written consent of such affected Indemnified Party or other person who is a beneficiary under the D&O Policy or the “tail” policy referred to in Section 5.6(b) (and, after the death of any of the foregoing persons, such person’s heirs and representatives). Each of the Indemnified Parties or other persons who are beneficiaries under the D&O Policy or the “tail” policy referred to in Section 5.6(b) (and, after the death of any of the foregoing persons, such person’s heirs and representatives) are intended to be third party beneficiaries of this Section 5.6, 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 Policy or the “tail” policy referred to in Section 5.6(b) (and their heirs and representatives)) under this Section 5.6 shall be in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other rights that such persons may have under the certificate 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).

(d) In the event that Parent, the Surviving Corporation, the Surviving Company or any of their respective Subsidiaries (or any of their respective successors or assigns) shall (i) consolidate or merge with any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity in such consolidation or merger, or (ii) transfer or convey all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any person, then in each case, Parent shall cause proper provision to be made so that the continuing or surviving corporation or entity (or its successors or assigns, if applicable) shall assume the obligations set forth in this Section 5.6.

5.7 Regulatory Approvals and Related Matters.

(a) Each Party shall use reasonable best efforts to file, as soon as practicable after the date of this Agreement, all notices, reports and other documents required to be filed by such Party with any Governmental Body with respect to the Mergers and the other Contemplated Transactions, and to submit as promptly as reasonably practicable and advisable any additional information requested by any such Governmental Body. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Parent and the Company shall, promptly after the date of this Agreement, prepare and file any notifications required under any

67

Legal Requirement in connection with the Mergers in the United States of America that is designed to prohibit, restrict or regulate actions having the purpose or effect of monopolization or restraint of trade (collectively, “Antitrust Laws”) in connection with the Mergers. Parent and the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to respond as promptly as reasonably practicable and advisable to any inquiries or requests received from any state attorney general, antitrust authority or other Governmental Body in connection with antitrust or related matters. Parent and the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions necessary to consummate the Mergers and make effective the other Contemplated Transactions.

(b) Subject to the confidentiality provisions of the Confidentiality Agreement, Parent and the Company each shall promptly supply the other with any information which may be required in order to effectuate any filings (including applications) pursuant to (and to otherwise comply with its obligations set forth in) Section 5.7(a). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 5.7 or elsewhere in this Agreement, Parent shall (i) have the principal responsibility for devising and implementing the strategy of the Parties with respect to seeking any actions or Consents of any Governmental Body with respect to the Mergers and coordinating any contacts, where permitted, with any Governmental Body; and (ii) take the lead in all meetings and communications with any Governmental Body in connection with obtaining any such action or Consent; provided, however, that, except where prohibited by applicable Legal Requirements or any Governmental Body (in which case, the Parties shall take appropriate actions to address such prohibitions, such as redacting documents or providing on an “outside counsel basis only”), and subject to the confidentiality provisions of the Confidentiality Agreement, each of Parent and the Company shall: (A) consult with the other in good faith prior to taking a position with respect to any such filing; (B) permit the other to review and discuss in advance, and consider in good faith the views of the other in connection with, any analyses, appearances, presentations, memoranda, briefs, white papers, arguments, opinions and proposals before making or submitting any of the foregoing to any Governmental Body by or on behalf of any Party in connection with any Legal Proceeding related solely to this Agreement or the Contemplated Transactions (including any such Legal Proceeding relating to any antitrust, competition or fair trade Legal Requirement); (C) coordinate with the other in preparing and exchanging such information; and (D) promptly provide the other Parties (and their counsel) with copies of all filings, notices, analyses, presentations, memoranda, briefs, white papers, opinions, proposals and other submissions (and a summary of any oral presentations) made or submitted by such Party with or to any Governmental Body related solely to this Agreement or the Contemplated Transactions.

(c) Each of Parent and the Company shall notify the other promptly upon the receipt of: (i) any material communication from any official of any Governmental Body in connection with any filing made pursuant to this Agreement; (ii) knowledge of the commencement or threat of commencement of any Legal Proceeding by or before any Governmental Body with respect to the Contemplated Transactions (and shall keep the other Party informed as to the status of any such Legal Proceeding or threat); and (iii) any request by any official of any Governmental Body for any amendment or supplement to any filing made pursuant to this Agreement or any information required to comply with any Legal Requirements applicable to the Contemplated Transactions. Whenever any event occurs that is required to be set forth in an amendment or supplement to any filing made pursuant to Section 5.7(a), Parent or the Company, as the case may be, shall (promptly upon learning of the occurrence of such event) inform the other of the occurrence of such event and cooperate in filing with the applicable Governmental Body such amendment or supplement.

(d) In furtherance of the foregoing, if such actions are required by a Governmental Body in order to satisfy the condition set forth in Section 6.1(c), the obligations of Parent and the Company under this Section 5.7 shall include agreeing to: (i) dispose of, transfer or exclusively license, or cause any of its Subsidiaries to dispose of, transfer or exclusively license, any assets to any Person, or to

68

commit to (or cause any of its Subsidiaries to commit to) dispose of, transfer or exclusively license any assets to any Person; (ii) discontinue or cause any of its Subsidiaries to discontinue, or commit to (or cause any of its Subsidiaries to commit to) discontinue, offering any product or service; (iii) non-exclusively license or otherwise make available, or cause any of its Subsidiaries to non-exclusively license or otherwise make available, to any Person any technology, Intellectual Property or Intellectual Property Right, or to commit to (or cause any of its Subsidiaries to commit to) non-exclusively license or otherwise make available to any Person any technology, Intellectual Property or Intellectual Property Right; (iv) hold separate or cause any of its Subsidiaries to hold separate any assets or operations after the First Merger Effective Time, or to commit to (or cause any of its Subsidiaries to commit to) hold separate any assets or operations; and (v) make or cause any of its Subsidiaries to make any commitment, or to commit to (or cause any of its Subsidiaries to commit to) make any commitment (to any Governmental Body or otherwise) regarding its future operations or the future operations of any of its Subsidiaries; provided, that such actions do not have a materially adverse impact on the benefits that Parent expects to recognize in connection with the Contemplated Transaction; provided, further, that Parent shall not be obligated to hold separate or to divest any of the material businesses, services or properties or assets of either Parent, on the one hand, or the Company, on the other hand.

(e) Parent further agrees that it shall not, and shall not permit any of the Parent Entities to, directly or indirectly, acquire or agree to acquire any assets, business or any Person, whether by merger, consolidation, purchasing a substantial portion of the assets of or equity in any Person or by any other manner or engage in any other transaction or take any other action, if the entering into of an agreement relating to or the consummation of such acquisition, merger, consolidation or purchase or other transaction or action would reasonably be expected to (i) impose any delay in the expiration or termination of any applicable waiting period or impose any delay in the obtaining of, or increase the risk of not obtaining, any authorization, consent, clearance, approval or order of a Governmental Body necessary to consummate the Mergers and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including any approvals and expiration of waiting periods pursuant to the Antitrust Laws or any other applicable Legal Requirements, or (ii) otherwise delay or impede the consummation of the Mergers and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Notwithstanding the foregoing: (i) each Party may, without such consultation or consent, make any public statement in response to questions from the press, analysts, investors or those attending industry conferences and make internal announcements to employees, so long as such statements or announcements are consistent with (and not materially expansive of) previous press releases, public disclosures or public statements or announcements made jointly by the Parties (or individually, if approved by the other Parties), (ii) a Party may, without the prior consent of the other Parties hereto, issue any such press release or make any such public announcement or statement as may be required by a Legal Requirement or the rules and regulations of the New York Stock Exchange if it first provides reasonable notice and consults with the other Parties hereto prior to issuing any such press release or making any such public announcement or statement; (iii) the Company need not consult with (or obtain the consent of) Parent in connection with any press release, public statement or filing to be issued or made with respect to any Acquisition Proposal relating to any Company Entity or any Company Change in Recommendation in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; and (iv) Parent need not consult with (or obtain the consent of) the Company in connection with any press release, public statement or filing to be issued or made with respect to any Acquisition Proposal relating to any Parent Entity or any Parent Change in Recommendation in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
