The parties to the Transaction Support Agreement agreed that the Insight Parties would not permit Parent or Merger Sub to commit to, or enter into any material amendment, modification, waiver or alteration (which shall include any change in price) of the Merger Agreement, the Equity Commitment Letter or he Debt Commitment Letter without prior written consent of the VS Parties (a “ Consent Triggering Event ”). The Transaction Support Agreement also restricts the VS Parties from disclosing any assumption, information, evaluation or view of Insight or its affiliates or representatives in connection with the Merger, subject to certain exemptions. The Insight Parties, Parent and Merger Sub have agreed that the Transaction Support Agreement will not restrict or prevent Mr. Smith from engaging in or entering into any unsolicited discussions, agreements, understandings or arrangements with any third party regarding the participation by the VS Parties in any other acquisition transaction involving the Company, and does not restrict Mr. Smith from taking or refraining from any action in his capacity as an executive officer or as a member of the Board of Directors of the Company.

In addition, the Transaction Support Agreement provides that on the Closing Date, Parent, the Insight Parties and the VS Parties shall enter into a previously negotiated Stockholders Agreement which includes, among other terms, restrictions on the transfer of securities of Parent, governance provisions and registration rights for certain holders of securities of Parent. Pursuant to the Transaction Support Agreement, Parent has also agreed to loan the VS Parties $120 million, immediately prior to the Closing, which amount will be used by the VS

Parties to repay outstanding indebtedness of the VS Parties encumbering the Rollover Shares (as defined below). Such loan will be secured by 100% of the common stock of Parent held by the VS Parties following the closing of the Merger, and will be recourse to the VS Parties to the extent of 50% of the then outstanding principal amount of such loan plus accrued interest thereon. The interest rate on such loan is subject to further negotiation between the VS Parties and the Insight Parties, and will depend on certain factors, including the current interest rate payable by the VS Parties on the indebtedness encumbering the Rollover Shares and the costs to unwind such indebtedness. Such loan would have the same maturity date as the senior term facility of the Company to be entered into at the Closing, require mandatory prepayment in certain circumstances and shall include customary restrictive covenants and events of default.

The Transaction Support Agreement will automatically terminate on the earliest of (i) the date the Merger is consummated, (ii) the date that the Merger Agreement is validly terminated in accordance with its terms or (iii) the occurrence of a Consent Triggering Event that, to the extent subject to cure, was not subsequently cured by the Insight Parties.

The Transaction Support Agreement does not grant any voting power over any of the VS Parties’ Owned Shares to any of the Insight Parties. Concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement and in their capacities as stockholders of the Company, the VS Parties entered into a voting agreement (the “ Voting Agreement ”) with the Company, pursuant to which they agreed to, among other things, vote their shares in favor of the approval of the Merger Agreement and other proposals necessary to consummate the Merger, unless such Voting Agreement is terminated pursuant to its terms. A copy of the Transaction Support Agreement is attached as Exhibit 99.2 to this Statement and is incorporated by reference herein.

Also, concurrently with the Merger Agreement, the VS Parties entered into a commitment letter (the “ Rollover Letter ”) with Parent pursuant to which the VS Parties will contribute, prior to the closing and subject to the terms and conditions therein, all of their shares of Common Stock, stock options (other than those 432,982 shares, the economic value of which have been transferred to Mr. Smith’s former spouse pursuant to a domestic relations order) and restricted stock units of the Company (the “ Rollover Shares ”) to Parent in exchange for equity interests in Parent. A copy of the Rollover Letter is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.3 to this Statement and is incorporated by reference herein.

Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger (the “ Effective Time ”), each share of Common Stock of the Company, issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, will be converted into the right to receive $23.00 in cash (the “ Merger Consideration ”), excluding (1) shares owned by stockholders who have perfected, and not withdrawn a demand for or lost the right to, appraisal rights under Delaware law, (2) treasury shares, (3) shares held by Parent, Merger Sub or any other wholly owned subsidiary of Parent, and (4) the Rollover Shares.

Also, concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, the Insight Parties and the VS Parties delivered a Limited Guaranty (the “ Limited Guaranty ”) to the Company in respect of certain obligations of Parent and Merger Sub under the Merger Agreement. The Limited Guaranty has been filed as Exhibit 10.1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on March 9, 2012, and is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety as Exhibit 99.4 .

Parent has obtained an equity commitment letter from the Insight Parties (the “ Equity Commitment Letter ”) and a debt financing commitment from the lenders identified therein (the “ Debt Commitment Letter ”) for the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. A copy of the Equity Commitment Letter from the Insight Parties is attached as Exhibit 99.5 to this Statement and is incorporated by reference herein. A copy of the Debt Commitment Letter is attached as Exhibit 99.6 to this Statement and is incorporated by reference herein.

Consummation of the Merger is subject to various conditions, including, (i) the affirmative vote by the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, (ii) the affirmative vote by the holders of a majority of the outstanding unaffiliated shares of Common Stock held by Parent, Merger Sub or any of the VS Parties, (iii) the absence of any law, injunction, judgment or ruling enjoining or prohibiting the Merger, (iv) the accuracy of the representations and warranties made by the parties, (v) the performance by the parties in all material respects of their covenants, obligations and agreements under the Merger Agreement, (vi) the expiration or early termination of the waiting period applicable to the Merger under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, and the receipt of other required government approvals, (vii) the absence of a material adverse effect on the Company, (viii) that the Common Stock of the Company is listed on The Nasdaq Global Select Market on the Closing Date (as defined in the Merger Agreement), and (ix) certain other customary conditions. Parent is also not required to consummate the Merger until after completion of a marketing period for the financing it is using to fund a portion of the Merger Consideration.

The information disclosed in this paragraph and the preceding paragraphs of this Item 4 is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Merger Agreement, a copy of which has been filed as Exhibit 2.1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on March 9, 2012, and is incorporated by reference in its entirety as Exhibit 99.8 , the Press Release, the Transaction Support Agreement, the Rollover Commitment Letter, the Limited Guaranty, the Equity Commitment Letter and the Debt Commitment Letter, each of which is filed as an exhibit hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.
