and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Merger Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 2.1, and the Support Agreements, executed in substantially the form which is filed as Exhibit 2.2, and both of which are incorporated herein by
reference. The Merger Agreement has been attached as an exhibit to provide investors with information regarding its terms. It is not intended to provide any other factual information about the Company or Parent or any of their respective
subsidiaries or affiliates. In particular, the assertions embodied in the representations and warranties contained in the Merger Agreement were made solely for the benefit of the parties to the Merger Agreement, were made only for purposes of the
Merger Agreement, and are qualified by information in a confidential disclosure letter provided by the Company to Parent in connection with the signing of the Merger Agreement. The confidential disclosure letter contains information that modifies,
qualifies and creates exceptions to the representations and warranties set forth in the Merger Agreement. Moreover, certain representations and warranties in the Merger Agreement were used for the purposes of allocating risk between the Company and
Parent rather than establishing matters of fact. Accordingly, the representations and warranties in the Merger Agreement should not be relied on as a characterization of the actual state of facts about the Company or Parent or any of their
respective subsidiaries.
