Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Entry into Merger Agreement

On November 14, 2019, Ribbon Communications, Inc. (“Ribbon” or the “Company”) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Eclipse Communications Ltd., an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), Ribbon Communications Israel Ltd., ECI Telecom Group Ltd. (“ECI”) and ECI Holding (Hungary) Korlátolt Felelősségű Társaság, pursuant to which Merger Sub will merge with and into ECI, with ECI surviving such merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ribbon (the “Merger”).

The Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) has unanimously approved the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, and the Company intends to hold a stockholder meeting to approve an issuance of the Company’s common stock as partial consideration in the Merger (the “Share Issuance”).

Effect of the Merger

As provided in the Merger Agreement, in connection with and at the time of the closing of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), all equity securities of ECI issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be converted into the right to receive consideration consisting of $324 million in cash (the “Cash Consideration”) and 32.5 million shares of common stock of the Company (the “Stock Consideration”) less the amount of indebtedness of ECI as of Closing. ECI equityholders will also receive approximately $31 million from ECI’s sale of real estate assets. The Company intends to fund the Cash Consideration with proceeds received from a new credit facility that the Company expects to enter into with Citizens Bank, N.A. in connection with the closing of the Merger. The issuance of the Stock Consideration will be made in reliance on an exemption from the registration provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, set forth in Section 4(a)(2) thereof, relating to sales by an issuer not involving a public offering.

Conditions to the Merger

The obligations of each of the Company and ECI are subject to specified conditions, including, among other things: (i) the approval of the Merger by ECI’s shareholders and the approval of the Share Issuance by the Company’s stockholders, (ii) the receipt of all required antitrust and foreign investment approvals and clearances, and (iii) the absence of any injunctions being entered into or law being adopted that would make the Merger illegal.

Certain Other Terms of the Merger Agreement

The Merger Agreement contains customary representations and warranties from both the Company and ECI. It also contains customary covenants, including covenants providing for each of the parties to use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Merger to be consummated, and covenants requiring each of the Company and ECI to carry on its business in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice during the period between the execution of the Merger Agreement and the Effective Time and not to initiate, solicit, knowingly facilitate or knowingly encourage any inquiries, proposals or offers relating to alternate transactions or, subject to certain exceptions for the Company, to engage in any discussions or negotiations with respect to alternate transactions.

The Merger Agreement contains termination rights for each of the Company and ECI, including in the event that (i) the Merger is made illegal or any governmental entity issues a non-appealable final order permanently enjoining the Merger, (ii) the Merger is not consummated by July 1, 2020, (the “Outside Date”); or (iii) the Company’s stockholders do not approve the Share Issuance.

2

ECI may terminate the Merger Agreement if the Board changes its recommendation, recommends an alternative acquisition proposal or fails to affirm its recommendation of the Merger after an alternative acquisition proposal is announced, or if the Company breaches its representations, warranties or covenants in a manner that would lead to the failure of a condition, subject to a 30-day cure period.

The Company may terminate the Merger Agreement if the shareholders of ECI do not approve the transaction, or if ECI breaches its representations, warranties or covenants in a manner that would lead to the failure of a condition, subject to a 30-day cure period.

The Merger Agreement provides that ECI would be entitled to receive a termination fee of $19,500,000 million if all conditions to the Merger are satisfied and the Company fails to consummate the Merger due to a failure to obtain debt financing to support payment of the cash portion of the Merger consideration. Additionally, the Merger Agreement provides that ECI would be entitled to receive a termination fee of $13,625,000 and expense  reimbursement up to $2,275,000 million if ECI terminates the Merger Agreement due to a change in the recommendation of, or failure to affirm the recommendation by, the Board or following the termination of the Merger Agreement in certain circumstances if the Company enters into a definitive agreement in respect of another acquisition proposal (or consummates such a transaction). The Merger Agreement also provides that ECI will be entitled to expense reimbursement up to a maximum of $5,000,000 in the event that the Merger Agreement is terminated because the Company’s stockholders do not approve the Share Issuance.

The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Merger Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 2.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

The Merger Agreement contains representations, warranties, covenants and other terms, provisions and conditions that the parties made to each other as of specific dates. The assertions embodied therein were made solely for purposes of the Merger Agreement, and may be subject to important qualifications and limitations agreed to by the parties in connection with negotiating their respective terms. Moreover, they may be subject to a contractual standard of materiality that may be different from what may be viewed as material to stockholders, or may have been used for the purpose of allocating risk between the parties rather than establishing matters as facts. For the foregoing reasons, no person should rely on such representations, warranties, covenants or other terms, provisions or conditions as statements of factual information at the time they were made or otherwise.

Governance

The Merger Agreement provides that, at the Effective Time, the Company and certain significant stockholders of the Company will enter into an amended and restated stockholders agreement (the “Restated Stockholders Agreement”). The Restated Stockholders Agreement provides that the Company will have a Board consisting initially of nine directors, initially comprised of (i) three individuals, two of whom are independent, designated by ECI Holding (Hungary) Korlátolt Felelősségű Társaság, ECI’s largest shareholder, or one of its affiliates, (ii) three individuals, two of whom are independent, designated by affiliates of JP Morgan Chase & Co. (“JPM”), the Company’s current largest stockholder, (iii) the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, or another individual designated by the Company, and (iv) two individuals who are independent directors and designated by the Company. The Restated Stockholders Agreement will contain voting obligations, transfer restrictions, standstill provisions and pre-emptive rights that are substantially similar to the obligations that exist in the current stockholders agreement currently in effect between the Company and JPM.

3

Additionally, the Merger Agreement provides that, at the Effective Time, the Company, JPM and ECI Holding (Hungary) Korlátolt Felelősségű Társaság or one of its affiliates will enter into an amended and restated registration rights agreement that is substantially similar to the current registration rights agreement currently in effect between the Company and JPM.

Item 8.01. Other Events.

Voting Agreements

Simultaneously with the execution of the Merger Agreement, JPM entered into a Voting and Support Agreement (the “JPM Voting Agreement”), dated as of the date of the Merger Agreement, with respect to all shares of the Company’s common stock that JPM beneficially owns as of the date thereof or thereafter. Under the JPM Voting Agreement, JPM has irrevocably and unconditionally agreed that it will vote in favor of the Share Issuance and against, among other things, another acquisition proposal or merger, in each case, unless the Company’s Board has changed its recommendation that the Company’s stockholders should approve the Share Issuance. In the event that the Board has changed its recommendation to the Company’s stockholders to approve the Share Issuance, JPM’s voting obligation is reduced to 33% of the aggregate voting power of the Company’s outstanding common stock plus additional votes based on the proportion of the Company’s other stockholders that vote in favor of the Share Issuance. The JPM Voting Agreement will terminate on the date the Merger Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms.

Additionally, simultaneously with the execution of the Merger Agreement, ECI’s two primary shareholders entered into a Voting and Support Agreement (the “ECI Voting Agreement”), dated as of the date of the Merger Agreement, with respect to all voting securities of ECI that such shareholders beneficially own as of the date thereof or thereafter. On the terms and conditions set forth in the ECI Voting Agreement, ECI’s two primary shareholders have irrevocably and unconditionally agreed that they will vote in favor of the Merger and against, among other things, another acquisition proposal or merger. The ECI Voting Agreement will terminate on the date the Merger Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms.

Forward-Looking Statements

This communication contains forward-looking statements (including within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995) concerning Ribbon and ECI, the proposed transactions and other matters.  These statements may discuss goals, intentions and expectations as to future plans, trends, events, results of operations or financial condition, or otherwise, based on current beliefs of the management of Ribbon and ECI as well as assumptions made by, and information currently available to, such management.  Forward-looking statements may be accompanied by words such as “aim,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “seek,” “see,” “plan,” “could,” “would,” “should,” “estimate,” “expect,” “forecast,” “future,” “guidance,” “intend,” “may,” “will,” “possible,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “target” or similar words, phrases or expressions and include statements regarding the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and the expected funding for the Merger.  These forward-looking statements are subject to various risks and uncertainties, many of which are outside the parties’ control, such as statements about the consummation of the proposed transaction.  Therefore, you should not place undue reliance on such statements.

Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include failure to consummate the proposed transaction; failure to make or take any filing or other action required to consummate the proposed transaction in a timely matter or at all; failure to obtain applicable regulatory or shareholder approvals in a timely manner or otherwise; failure to satisfy other closing conditions to the proposed transactions; failure to obtain debt financing to fund the cash consideration for the merger;  risks that the new businesses will not be integrated successfully or that the combined companies will not realize estimated cost savings; failure to realize anticipated benefits of the combined operations; potential litigation relating to the proposed transaction and disruptions from the proposed transaction that could harm Ribbon’s or ECI’s business; reductions in client spending, a slowdown in client payments and changes in client requirements; ability to hire and retain key personnel; the potential impact of announcement or consummation of the proposed transaction on relationships with third parties, including clients, employees and competitors; ability to attract new clients and retain existing clients in the manner anticipated; reliance on and integration of information technology systems; changes in legislation or governmental regulations affecting the companies; international, national or local economic, social or political conditions that could adversely affect the companies or their clients; conditions in the credit markets; risks associated with assumptions the parties make in connection with the parties’ critical accounting estimates and legal proceedings; and the parties’ international operations, which are subject to the risks of currency fluctuations and foreign exchange controls.  The foregoing list of factors is not exhaustive.  All of our forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties (some of which are significant or beyond our control) and assumptions that could cause actual results to differ materially from our historical experience and our present expectations or projections.  Unlisted factors may present significant additional obstacles to the realization of forward looking statements.  Accordingly, there is no

6

assurance that the expectations of Ribbon or ECI will be realized.  Consequences of material differences in results as compared with those anticipated in the forward-looking statements could include, among other things, business disruption, operational problems, financial loss, legal liability to third parties and similar risks, any of which could have a material adverse effect on Ribbon’s or ECI’s consolidated financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.  You should carefully consider the foregoing factors and the other risks and uncertainties that affect the parties’ businesses, including those described in Ribbon’s Annual Report on Form 10-K/A, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, Current Reports on Form 8-K and other documents filed from time to time with the SEC.  We wish to caution you not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof.  We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any of our forward-looking statements after the date they are made, whether as a result of any changes in circumstances or new information, future events or otherwise, except to the extent required by securities and other applicable law.

The Auditor shall base its determination solely on (i) the written submissions of Parent and the Shareholder Representative and shall not conduct an independent investigation and (ii) the extent (if any) to which the Closing Date Leakage Amount, Closing Date Indebtedness, and/or Closing Date Company Expenses require adjustment (only with respect to the remaining disagreements that were included in the Shareholder Representative’s notice of disagreement and submitted to the Auditor) in order to be determined in accordance with Section 3.7(b) (including the definitions of the defined terms used in Section 3.7(b)).

Section 3.13                             Withholdings.

(a)                                 Parent, the Surviving Company, ECI BV, the Israeli Company Options Trustee or the Paying Agent (and, in each case, any of their Affiliates and Representatives) (each, a “Payor”) shall be entitled to deduct or withhold from any amounts payable in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any amounts deliverable in respect of the Aggregate Stock Consideration) such amounts as Parent or any other Payor shall reasonably determine are required to be deducted and withheld with respect to the making of such payment under the ITO or any other provision of applicable Tax Law; provided, that any Payor intending to so withhold shall use good faith efforts to provide reasonable advance notice to the Shareholder Representative and to provide reasonable cooperation to the Shareholder Representative’s attempt to reduce or eliminate any such deductions or withholding. To the extent that amounts are required by law to be withheld or deducted and are paid over to the appropriate Tax Authority by Payor, such withheld amounts shall 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 Payor.

(b)                                 Subject to Section 3.13(c), if a Company Equityholder other than a holder of Israeli Company Options provides the applicable Payor, no later than five (5) Business Days prior to the Withholding Drop Date of such payment with a valid certificate, ruling or any other written instructions regarding Tax withholding issued by the ITA in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Parent, confirming exemption from, or reduced, withholding of Israeli Tax in respect of a payment (a “Valid Certificate”), then the applicable Payor shall withhold or deduct the applicable amount of Israeli Tax (if any) from such payment in accordance with such Valid Certificate. For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent that the Exchange Fund allocated to any Company Equityholder does not contain sufficient cash to pay any required withholding of Israeli Tax, the Paying Agent shall be entitled to sell Parent Common Stock in the Exchange Fund allocated to such Company Equityholder in order to obtain the required cash amount.

(c)                                  Notwithstanding the foregoing and subject to Section 3.13(e), payments hereunder to be made to Company Equityholders (other than for Israeli Company Options) shall be transferred to the Paying Agent without any withholdings or deductions of Israeli Taxes and retained by the

39

Paying Agent or an affiliate thereof for future payment to the recipient entitled to payment for a period of one hundred eighty (180) days following the Closing Date or, in each case, such an earlier date requested in writing by such recipient (the “Withholding Drop Date”) during which time no payments shall be made by the Paying Agent to any payment recipient and no amounts for Israeli Taxes shall be withheld from the payments deliverable pursuant to this Agreement, and during which time such Person may seek to obtain a Valid Certificate. If such Person delivers such Valid Certificate to the Paying Agent no later than five (5) business days prior to the Withholding Drop Date, the Paying Agent shall deduct and withhold any Israeli Taxes from the relevant payment in accordance with the provisions of such Valid Certificate and the balance of any such payment owing to such Person at the Closing shall be paid to such Person. If any Person (i) does not provide the Paying Agent with such Valid Certificate by no later than five (5) business days before the Withholding Drop Date or (ii) submits a written request to the Paying Agent to release the payment to be made to such Person at the Closing prior to the Withholding Drop Date and fails to submit a Withholding Certificate for such payment at or before such time, then the amount to be withheld from such Person’s payment shall be calculated according to the applicable withholding rate as reasonably determined by the Parent and in accordance with the applicable Law who shall pay to such Person the balance of the payment due to such Person that is not so withheld. In addition to whatever withholding is required by Law, the Paying Agent or any Payor shall be entitled to withhold (without gross-up) from any cash or Parent Common Stock otherwise payable to the Company Equityholders any Losses that are incurred by any Payor as a result of the delay in payment and withholding contemplated by this Section 3.13(c) (including any incremental interest, penalties, or other amounts that are required to be remitted to a Governmental Authority as a result of the delay in remitting any withholding Taxes), and such amounts shall be remitted to the applicable Payor.

(d)                                 Any withholding made in NIS with respect to payments made hereunder in dollars shall be calculated based on a conversion rate on the date the payment is actually made to any recipient.

(e)                                  It being understood that the parties to this Agreement intend to comply with Income Tax Circular 19/2018 (Transaction for Sale of Rights in a Corporation that includes Consideration that will be transferred to the Seller at Future Dates) (the “Circular”) such that the deposit of the consideration funds with the applicable Payor, including pursuant to Section 3.13(c), shall be exempt from Israeli tax withholding by the Parent, the Direct Parent and the Merger Sub, provided, that if prior to the Closing Date the Paying Agent does not undertake to comply with Section 6.24 of the Circular with respect to Israeli Tax, the Shareholder Representative shall provide the Parent with a Valid Certificate with respect to the deposit of the consideration funds with the applicable Payor. If any such Valid Certificate is not provided by the Shareholder Representative prior to the Closing Date, then the deposit of the consideration with the applicable Payor will be subject to deduction or withholding of Israeli Taxes in accordance with Section 3.13(a).

(f)                                   Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, any payments to be made to a holder of Israeli Company Options will be transferred by the applicable Payor to the Israeli Company Options Trustee, such transfer shall be made without any withholdings or deductions of Israeli to the extent that the Shareholder Representative provides Parent with the Option Tax Ruling prior to the Closing Date, and shall be subject to deduction and withholding of Israeli Tax by the Israeli Company Options Trustee in accordance with the ITO and the Option Tax Ruling. If the Option Tax Ruling is not provided by the Shareholder Representative prior to the Closing Date, then the deposit of the consideration with the Israeli Company Option Trustee will be subject to deduction or withholding of Israeli Taxes in accordance Section 3.13(a).

Section 3.14                             Transfers; No Further Ownership Rights. At the Effective Time, the share transfer books of the Company shall be closed, and there shall be no registration of transfers on the share

40

transfer books of the Company or the Surviving Company of Company Shares that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If physical Certificates are presented to the Surviving Company or Parent for transfer following the Effective Time, they shall be canceled against delivery of the applicable Per Share Consideration, as provided for in Section 3.1(b), for each Company Share formerly represented by such Certificates.

Section 3.15                             Payment Schedule. The Shareholder Representative shall confirm the Payment Schedule prior to any payment pursuant to this Agreement. Any determination of the Payment Schedule by the Shareholder Representative shall be final and binding on all Company Equityholders (other than Pathfinder). None of Parent, Merger Sub or their respective Affiliates or the Paying Agent shall be responsible for, and the Shareholder Representative (on behalf of all of the Company Equityholders) hereby releases Parent, Merger Sub and their respective Affiliates from any and all damages or losses arising out of or in connection with, the allocation of any payments by the Shareholder Representative as set forth in the Payment Schedule, including any claim by a Company Equityholder in relation to payments made by any Person in accordance with the Payment Schedule. Section 3.15 of the Company Disclosure Letter sets forth an illustrative example of the Payment Schedule, prepared in accordance with the Governing Documents of the Company and applicable Law to reflect the allocation and distribution of all amounts payable to the holders of Company Shares, Optionholders and CVR Holders. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in no event shall the Closing Payments payable by Parent pursuant to the Payment Schedule exceed the Estimated Aggregate Cash Consideration and the Aggregate Stock Consideration minus the Escrow Stock Amount.

Section 3.16                             ECI Loan; Pathfinder Preferred.  At the Effective Time, (i) the Parent shall cause RCOCI to lend to the Company a portion of the Cash Consideration (the “ECI Loan”) in the amount sufficient to make the payments pursuant to this Section 3.16 and (ii) the Company shall use the proceeds of the ECI Loan to pay to Pathfinder an amount equal to the Pathfinder Preferred Liquidation Preference in consideration for the transfer from Pathfinder to the Company, as of the Effective Time, of all of the shares of the Pathfinder Preferred outstanding as of the Closing pursuant to the Pathfinder SPA.  The amounts payable to Pathfinder pursuant to this Section 3.16 may be paid by the Company through the Paying Agent as part of the Exchange Fund.

Parent has established and maintains disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting (as such terms are defined in paragraphs (e) and (f), respectively, of Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act) as required by Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act.

Parent’s management has completed an assessment of the effectiveness of Parent’s internal control over financial reporting in compliance with the requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act for the year ended December 31, 2018, and such assessment concluded that such controls were effective. Based on its most recent evaluation of internal controls over financial reporting prior to the date hereof, management of Parent has disclosed to Parent’s auditors and the audit committee of the Parent Board (i) any significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in the design or operation of internal controls over financial reporting that are reasonably likely to adversely affect in any material respect Parent’s ability to report financial information and (ii) any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other employees who have a significant role in Parent’s internal control over financial reporting, in each case, that was disclosed

68

to Parent’s auditors or the audit committee of the Parent Board in connection with its most recent evaluation of internal controls over financial reporting prior to the date hereof.

Except for completions or expirations of Contracts in accordance with their terms, as of the date hereof, no customer or supplier under a Parent Material Contract has notified Parent or any of its Subsidiaries that it is stopping, or materially decreasing the rate of, buying or supplying goods or services from or to Parent or its Subsidiaries, as applicable.

Section 5.17                             Brokers. Other than the financial advisor identified in Section 5.17 of the Parent Disclosure Letter, no broker, finder or financial advisor is entitled to any brokerage, finder’s or other fee or commission in connection with the Merger and any of the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement based upon arrangements made by or on behalf of Parent or Merger Sub.

Section 5.18                             Financing Activities. Parent and Merger Sub have delivered to the Company a true and complete copy of the executed debt commitment letter and the related Fee Letter, dated as of the date hereof (including all exhibits, schedules and annexes thereto and together with the related Fee Letter, the “Debt Commitment Letter”) from the Financing Sources; provided, however, that solely in the case of the Fee Letter, a true and complete copy has been delivered to the Company with redactions of only the fee amounts payable on the Closing Date to a Financing Source and of the amounts by which interest rates or original issue discount (“OID”) may change; provided further, that no redactions have been made of terms that could affect the availability of, or conditionality applicable to the funding of, the Debt Financing or reduce the net proceeds thereof to an amount, when combined with other funds available to Parent and Merger Sub at Closing, less than the amount necessary to pay the Required Payment Amount.  As of the date hereof, the Debt Commitment Letter has not been amended or modified in any manner. None

70

of Parent or Merger Sub or any of their respective Affiliates has entered into any Contract, side letter or other arrangement or understanding relating to the financing of the Required Payment Amount or transactions contemplated by this Agreement that could affect the amount of, availability of, or conditions precedent to, the funding of the Debt Financing on the Closing Date, other than as set forth in the Debt Commitment Letter. The commitments contained in the Debt Commitment Letter have not been withdrawn or rescinded in any respect. The Debt Commitment Letter is in full force and effect and represents a valid, binding and enforceable obligation of Parent, Merger Sub and (to the Knowledge of Parent and Merger Sub) each other party thereto, including to negotiate the Debt Financing Documents in good faith with respect to the financing contemplated thereby, subject to the Remedies Exception. Parent has fully paid (or caused to be paid) any and all commitment fees and other amounts that are due and payable on or prior to the date of this Agreement in connection with the Debt Financing. No event has occurred which, with or without notice, lapse of time or both, would constitute a breach or default on the part of Parent, Merger Sub or any other party thereto under the Debt Commitment Letter. None of Parent or Merger Sub has any reason to believe that it or (to the Knowledge of Parent and Merger Sub) any other party thereto will be unable to satisfy on a timely basis any term of the Debt Commitment Letter. There are no conditions precedent or other contingencies related to the funding of the full amount of the Debt Financing, other than the Financing Conditions. The only conditions precedent or other contingencies related to the funding of the Debt Financing on the Closing Date shall be the Financing Conditions contained in the Debt Commitment Letter. Parent and Merger Sub have no reason to believe, subject to satisfaction of the conditions precedent that set forth obligations of the Company, as set forth in Section 7.1 and Section 7.2, and assuming the accuracy of the Company’s representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement and the performance by the Company of its obligations hereunder, that (i) any of the Financing Conditions will not be satisfied or (ii) the Debt Financing will not be made available to Parent and Merger Sub on the Closing Date. When funded in accordance with, and subject to, the terms and conditions of the Debt Commitment Letter, including any “market flex” provisions with respect thereto, and together with other funds available to Parent and Merger Sub at Closing, the Debt Financing will provide Parent and Merger Sub with acquisition financing on the Closing Date sufficient to pay the Required Payment Amount on the terms contemplated by this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, each party hereto agrees that a breach of this representation and warranty shall not result in the failure of a condition precedent to Company’s and Shareholder Representative’s obligations under this Agreement, if (notwithstanding such breach) Parent and Merger Sub are willing and able to consummate the Merger on the Closing Date.

Section 5.19                             Acknowledgement of Disclaimer of Other Representations and Warranties. Each of Parent and Merger Sub acknowledges that, as of the date hereof, they and their Representatives (a) have received full access to (i) such books and records, facilities, properties, premises, equipment, contracts and other assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries which they and their Representatives have requested to review and (ii) the Electronic Data Room and (b) have had full opportunity to meet with the management of the Company and its Subsidiaries and to discuss the business and assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries. Parent and Merger Sub each acknowledges and agrees that, except for the representations and warranties expressly set forth in Article IV and in certifications delivered pursuant to this Agreement, and the representations of the Parent Significant Stockholders or the Company Significant Stockholder in the Voting Agreements, (a) neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries makes, or has made, any representation or warranty relating to itself or its business or otherwise in connection with the Merger and Parent and Merger Sub are not relying on any representation or warranty except for those expressly set forth in Article IV and in certifications delivered pursuant to this Agreement, and the representations of the Parent Significant Stockholders and Shareholder Representative in the Voting Agreements and the letter of transmittal (including any certificates delivered pursuant hereto or thereto), (b) no Person has been authorized by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to make any representation or warranty relating to itself or its business or otherwise in connection with the Merger, and if made, such representation or warranty must not be relied upon by Parent or Merger Sub as having been authorized by such entity and (c) any estimate, projection, prediction, data, financial information, memorandum,

71

presentation or any other materials or information provided or addressed to Parent, Merger Sub or any of their Representatives, including any materials or information made available in the Electronic Data Room, via confidential memorandum, in connection with presentations by the Company’s management or otherwise, are not and shall not be deemed to be or include representations or warranties unless and to the extent any such materials or information is the subject of any express representation or warranty set forth in Article IV. Each of Parent and Merger Sub has conducted, to its satisfaction, its own independent review and analysis of the businesses, assets, condition, operations and prospects of the Company and its Subsidiaries and, in making its determination to proceed with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the Merger, each of Parent and Merger Sub has relied on the results of its own independent review and analysis. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, nothing in this Agreement shall affect the ability of Parent to bring claims for Fraud.

Section 5.20                             No Other Representations or Warranties. Except for the representations and warranties expressly set forth in this Article V and in certifications delivered pursuant to this Agreement, and the representations of the Parent Significant Stockholders or the Company Significant Stockholder in the Voting Agreements, none of Parent, Merger Sub, any of their respective Affiliates or any other Person on behalf of Parent makes any express or implied representation or warranty with respect to Parent, Merger Sub, their respective Subsidiaries or their respective businesses or with respect to any other information provided, or made available, the Company or its Representatives or Affiliates in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, including the accuracy or completeness thereof. Without limiting the foregoing, and other than in the case of Fraud, neither Parent, Merger Sub nor any other Person will have or be subject to any Liability or other obligation to the Company or its Representatives or Affiliates or any other Person resulting from the Company’s or its Representatives’ or Affiliates’ use of any information, documents, projections, forecasts, financial model of other material made available to the Company or its Representatives or Affiliates, including any information made available in the electronic data room for maintained by Parent for purposes of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, teaser, marketing material, confidential information memorandum, management presentations, functional “break-out” discussions, responses to questions submitted on behalf of the Company or its Representatives or in any other form in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, unless and to the extent any such information is expressly included in a representation or warranty contained in this Article V or in certifications delivered pursuant to this Agreement, and the representations of the Parent Significant Stockholders or the Company Significant Stockholder in the Voting Agreements.

(c)           Nothing contained in this Agreement shall prevent Parent or the Parent Board from (i) complying with its disclosure obligations under Rule 14d-9 and 14e-2 promulgated under the Exchange Act, or issuing a “stop, look and listen” statement pending disclosure of its position (none of which, in and of itself, shall be deemed to constitute a Parent Change of Recommendation”) or (ii) making any disclosure to Parent’s stockholders if the Parent Board determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that the failure to make such disclosure would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties or Law; provided that any such disclosure may constitute a Parent Change of Recommendation in accordance with the definition thereof. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, (i) any factually accurate public statement by Parent that describes Parent’s receipt of a Parent Acquisition Proposal and the provisions and obligations in this Agreement with respect thereto, shall not be deemed to be a recommendation of such Parent Acquisition Proposal or a Parent Change of Recommendation and (ii) Parent may inform any Person of the existence of its obligations under the provisions of this Section 6.4.

(d)           Notwithstanding the limitations set forth in Section 6.4(a) and Section 6.4(b), until the earlier of the receipt of the Requisite Parent Stockholder Approval and any termination of this Agreement pursuant to Article VIII, if after the date of this Agreement Parent receives a written bona fide Parent Acquisition Proposal, that was not, directly or indirectly, solicited, initiated or knowingly encouraged in violation of this Section 6.4, and that the Parent Board has determined in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel and financial advisors (i) constitutes a Parent Superior Proposal or (ii) could reasonably be expected to result in a Parent Superior Proposal, then Parent, its Subsidiaries and its and their respective Representatives may, subject to Section 6.4(h), in response to such Parent Acquisition Proposal take the following actions, to the extent that the Parent Board has determined in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that a failure to take such actions would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties to Parent’s stockholders under Law: (A) furnish nonpublic information to the third party making such Parent Acquisition Proposal, if, and only if, prior to furnishing such information, Parent receives from the third party an executed confidentiality agreement with provisions no less restrictive to such third party with respect to the use or disclosure of nonpublic information than the Confidentiality Agreement and expressly allow Parent to comply with its obligations under this Section 6.4 (B) engage in discussions or negotiations with the third party with respect to such Parent Acquisition Proposal.
