Item 1.01.

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On March 8, 2015, Alcoa Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation (“Alcoa”), Ranger Ohio Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Alcoa and an Ohio corporation (“Merger Sub”), and RTI International Metals, Inc., an Ohio corporation (“RTI”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”). The Merger Agreement provides that, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will merge with and into RTI (the “Merger”), with RTI continuing as the surviving corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Alcoa.

At the effective time of the Merger and subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, (i) each outstanding share of RTI common stock will be converted into the right to receive 2.8315 shares of Alcoa common stock (the “Exchange Ratio”) and (ii) employee stock options and other equity awards will generally be adjusted based on the Exchange Ratio and converted into comparable awards denominated in shares of Alcoa common stock or, in certain cases, vest and be converted into the right to receive the merger consideration.

Consummation of the Merger is subject to customary conditions, including, among others, (i) the adoption of the Merger Agreement by the holders of RTI common stock, (ii) the absence of any law or order prohibiting the closing, (iii) antitrust clearance, (iv) subject to certain exceptions, the accuracy of representations and warranties and performance of covenants, (v) the effectiveness of the registration statement for the Alcoa common stock to be issued in the Merger, and (vi) the delivery of a customary opinion from RTI’s counsel that the Merger will qualify as a tax-free reorganization for federal income tax purposes.

Alcoa and RTI have made customary representations, warranties and covenants in the Merger Agreement, including, among others, covenants of RTI requiring it to conduct its business in the ordinary course consistent with past practice between the execution of the Merger Agreement and consummation of the Merger. In addition, RTI has covenanted not to solicit proposals relating to alternative business combination transactions and, subject to certain exceptions, (i) to cause a shareholder meeting to be held to consider approval of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, (ii) for its board of directors to recommend approval by its shareholders of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and (iii) not to enter into discussions concerning or provide confidential information in connection with alternative business combination transactions.

The Merger Agreement contains certain termination rights for both Alcoa and RTI. The Merger Agreement further provides that in certain circumstances, including if RTI terminates the merger agreement in order to enter into an alternative transaction, RTI would be required to pay Alcoa a termination fee of $50,000,000.

The Merger Agreement has been described herein and attached hereto as an exhibit to provide security holders with information regarding its terms. It is not intended to provide any other factual information about Alcoa or RTI. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Merger Agreement were made solely for purposes of such agreement and as of specific dates, were solely for the benefit of the parties to the Merger Agreement, may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties, including being qualified by confidential

disclosures made for the purposes of allocating contractual risk between the parties to the Merger Agreement instead of establishing these matters as facts, and may be subject to standards of materiality applicable to the contracting parties that differ from those applicable to security holders. Security holders are not third-party beneficiaries under the Merger Agreement and should not rely on the representations, warranties and covenants or any descriptions thereof as characterizations of the actual state of facts or condition of Alcoa or RTI. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of the representations and warranties may change after the date of the Merger Agreement, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in Alcoa’s or RTI’s public disclosures.

A copy of the Merger Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 2.1 and is incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Merger Agreement.

Item 7.01.

Regulation FD Disclosure.

Alcoa issued a press release on March 9, 2015 announcing execution of the Merger Agreement. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference. Also on March 9, 2015, Alcoa released an investor presentation and issued a communication to its employees regarding the Merger. Copies of the investor presentation and a letter to Alcoa employees are attached hereto as Exhibits 99.2 and 99.3, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference. Also on March 9, 2015, Alcoa issued a communication to RTI employees regarding the Merger and provided a webcast presentation to RTI employees. Copies of a letter to RTI employees and the webcast presentation are attached hereto Exhibits 99.4 and 99.5, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference.

Also on March 9, 2015, Alcoa issued an e-mail to its employees regarding the Merger, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.6 and is incorporated herein by reference.

To supplement the information in its investor presentation referred to above, Alcoa is providing the following information in this Item 7.01: Per our presentation materials, including the press release and investor presentation dated March 9, 2015, we provided that the RTI acquisition will offer Alcoa financial benefits with realized net synergies of about $100 million in 2019, which are comprised of $109 million gross synergies, partially offset by $9 million for costs to achieve those synergies. These gross synergies are projected approximately as follows: 1) 40% from process productivity (i.e., increase utilization of open melting, billetizing and rolling capacity driving improving operational costs and midstream and downstream integration cost efficiencies through maximizing internal metal supply, decreasing outsourced machining and optimizing revert metal loop); 2) 18% procurement savings (i.e., increased scale purchasing for commodity and other production and maintenance supplies and standardize payment terms); 3) 19% overhead cost reductions (i.e., integration of shared services for finance, credit, IT, and HR; and 4) 23% revenue growth (i.e., extrusions and subassemblies, Ti ingot directed buy programs and Ti Al for high growth engine components).

The information in this Item 7.01 and in Exhibits 99.1, 99.2, 99.3, 99.4, 99.5 and 99.6 is furnished and shall not be deemed to be “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, and such information shall not be deemed to be incorporated by reference into any of Alcoa’s filings under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements in this report, including statements regarding the proposed acquisition of RTI by Alcoa, the expected timing, closing and benefits of the transaction, the expected synergies, the expected contribution of RTI to Alcoa’s revenues and profitability, the expected acceleration of Alcoa’s portfolio transformation, the expected size, scope and growth of the combined company’s operations and the markets in which it will operate, including the aerospace market, the anticipated issuance of Alcoa common stock in exchange for RTI stock in the transaction, as well as Alcoa’s plans, objectives, strategy, and intentions, may contain words such as “anticipates,” “believes,” “could,” “estimates,” “expects,” “forecasts,” “intends,” “may,” “outlook,” “plans,” “projects,” “seeks,” “sees,” “should,” “targets,” “will,” or other words of similar meaning that constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements are based on Alcoa’s current expectations, estimates, forecasts and projections about the proposed transaction and the operating environment, economies and markets in which Alcoa and RTI operate. In making these statements, Alcoa has made assumptions with respect to: the ability of Alcoa and RTI to achieve expected synergies and the timing of same; the ability of Alcoa and RTI to predict and adapt to changing customer requirements, demand, and preferences; future capital expenditures, including the amount and nature thereof; trends and developments in the aerospace, metals engineering (including aluminum and titanium), advanced manufacturing, and other sectors of the economy that are related to these sectors; business strategy and outlook; expansion and growth of business and operations; credit risks; future results being similar to historical results; expectations related to future general economic and market conditions; and other matters, many of which are beyond Alcoa’s control. Alcoa’s beliefs and assumptions are inherently subject to significant business, economic, competitive and other uncertainties and contingencies regarding future events and as such, are subject to change and may prove to be inaccurate. Actual results or events could differ materially from those contemplated in forward-looking statements as a result of numerous risks and uncertainties, including: (a) the risk that the businesses will not be integrated successfully or such integration may be more difficult, time-consuming or costly than expected, which could result in additional demands on Alcoa’s resources, systems, procedures and controls, disruption of its ongoing business and diversion of management’s attention from other business concerns; (b) the effect of an increased number of Alcoa shares outstanding as a result of the proposed transaction; (c) the possibility that certain assumptions with respect to RTI or the proposed transaction could prove to be inaccurate; (d) failure to receive the required votes of RTI’s shareholders to approve the transaction; (e) failure to receive, delays in the receipt of, or unacceptable or burdensome conditions imposed in connection with, all required regulatory approvals of the proposed transaction, or the failure to satisfy the other closing conditions to the proposed transaction; (f) the potential failure to retain key employees of Alcoa or RTI as a result of the proposed transaction or during integration of the businesses; (g) potential sales of Alcoa common stock issued in the acquisition; (h) the potential loss of customers, suppliers, and other business relationships of Alcoa or RTI as a result of the transaction; (i) consequences of investigations by governmental agencies or regulatory authorities; (j) the failure to capitalize on anticipated growth in the commercial aerospace market; and (k) the other risk factors

summarized in Alcoa’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014, and other reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Alcoa disclaims any obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements, whether in response to new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by applicable law. Market projections are subject to the risks discussed above and other risks in the market. Nothing on Alcoa’s website is included or incorporated by reference herein.

This AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER (this “Agreement”), dated as of March 8, 2015, is by and among RTI International Metals, Inc., an Ohio corporation (the “Company”), Alcoa Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation (“Parent”) and Ranger Ohio Corporation, an Ohio corporation and a direct wholly owned Subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”).

WITNESSETH:

WHEREAS, the parties intend that Merger Sub shall be merged with and into the Company (the “Merger”), with the Company surviving the Merger as a direct wholly owned Subsidiary of Parent;

WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Company Board of Directors”) has (i) unanimously determined that it is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders, and declared it advisable, to enter into this Agreement, (ii) approved the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, including the Merger and (iii) resolved to recommend adoption of this Agreement by the shareholders of the Company;

WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of Parent (the “Parent Board of Directors”) has (i) determined that it is in the best interests of Parent and its shareholders, and declared it advisable, to enter into this Agreement and (ii) approved the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, including the Merger;

WHEREAS, Parent, as the sole shareholder of Merger Sub, has approved the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, including the Merger, and adopted this Agreement;

WHEREAS, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, it is intended that the Merger will qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”); and

WHEREAS, Parent, Merger Sub and the Company desire to make certain representations, warranties, covenants and agreements set forth herein in connection with this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained herein, and intending to be legally bound hereby, Parent, Merger Sub and the Company agree as follows:

ARTICLE I.

THE MERGER

Section 1.1 The Merger. At the Effective Time, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement and in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Ohio General Corporation Law (the “OGCL”), Merger Sub shall be merged with and into the Company, whereupon the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub shall cease, and the Company shall continue its existence under Ohio law as the surviving corporation in the Merger (the “Surviving Corporation”) and a direct wholly owned Subsidiary of Parent.

Section 1.2 Closing. The closing of the Merger (the “Closing”) shall take place at the offices of Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz, 51 West 52nd Street, New York, New York at 10:00 a.m., local time, on the third business day after the satisfaction or waiver (to the extent permitted by applicable Law) of the conditions set forth in Article VI (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver of such conditions), or at such other place, date and time as the Company and Parent may agree in writing. The date on which the Closing actually occurs is referred to as the “Closing Date.”

Section 1.3 Effective Time. On or prior to the Closing Date, the Company and Merger Sub shall file with the Secretary of State of the State of Ohio a certificate of merger (the “Certificate of Merger”), executed in accordance with, and containing such information as is required by, the relevant provisions of the OGCL in order to effect the Merger. The Merger shall become effective at such time as the Certificate of Merger has been filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Ohio or at such other, later date and time as is agreed between the parties and specified in the Certificate of Merger in accordance with the relevant provisions of the OGCL (such date and time is hereinafter referred to as the “Effective Time”).

Section 1.4 Effects of the Merger. The effects of the Merger shall be as provided in this Agreement and in the applicable provisions of the OGCL. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and subject thereto, at the Effective Time, all of the property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of the Company and Merger Sub shall vest in the Surviving Corporation, and all debts, liabilities and duties of the Company and Merger Sub shall become the debts, liabilities and duties of the Surviving Corporation, all as provided under the OGCL.

Section 1.5 Organizational Documents of the Surviving Corporation.

(a) At the Effective Time, subject to Section 5.9, the articles of incorporation of Merger Sub, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be the articles of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter amended in accordance with the provisions thereof and applicable Law (except as to the name of the Surviving Corporation, which shall be RTI International Metals, Inc.).

(b) At the Effective Time, subject to Section 5.9, the code of regulations of Merger Sub, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be the code of regulations of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter amended in accordance with the provisions thereof and applicable Law (except as to the name of the Surviving Corporation, which shall be RTI International Metals, Inc.).

- 2 -

Section 1.6 Directors. The directors of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the initial directors of the Surviving Corporation and shall hold office until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified, or their earlier death, resignation or removal. For avoidance of doubt, it is the intention of the parties hereto and the Company Board of Directors that the directors of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time who become directors of the Surviving Corporation pursuant to this Section 1.6 (the “Merger Sub Directors”) shall be deemed “Continuing Directors” as such term is defined in and for all purposes under the Convertible Notes Indenture (as defined below), and the execution and delivery of this Agreement shall be deemed conclusive evidence that the election of the Merger Sub Directors as directors of the Surviving Corporation has been unanimously approved by the Company Board of Directors as of the Effective Time.

Section 1.7 Officers. The officers of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the initial officers of the Surviving Corporation and shall hold office until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified, or their earlier death, resignation or removal.

ARTICLE II.

CONVERSION OF SHARES; EXCHANGE OF CERTIFICATES

Section 2.1 Effect on Capital Stock.

(a) At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Parent, the Company, Merger Sub or the holder of any shares or securities of Parent, the Company or Merger Sub:

(i) Conversion of Merger Sub Common Shares. Each share of common stock of Merger Sub, no par value, issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall thereafter remain outstanding and represent one validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock of the Surviving Corporation and those shares of the Surviving Corporation shall constitute the only outstanding shares of capital stock of the Surviving Corporation.

(ii) Cancellation of Certain Stock. Each share of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time that is owned or held in treasury by the Company and each share of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time that is owned by Parent or Merger Sub or any of their respective Subsidiaries shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled and retired and shall cease to exist (the “Cancelled Shares”), and no consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor or in respect thereof.

(iii) Conversion of Company Common Stock. Subject to the other provisions of this Article II, each share of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, other than any Cancelled Shares, shall at the Effective Time be converted automatically into and shall thereafter represent the right to receive

- 3 -

2.8315 shares of Parent Common Stock (the “Exchange Ratio” and together with the cash in lieu of fractional shares of Parent Common Stock as specified below, the “Merger Consideration”). All of the shares of Company Common Stock converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to this Article II shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled and shall cease to exist as of the Effective Time, and uncertificated shares of Company Common Stock represented by book-entry form (“Book-Entry Shares”) and each certificate that, immediately prior to the Effective Time, represented any such shares of Company Common Stock (each, a “Certificate”) shall thereafter represent only the right to receive the Merger Consideration and the into which the shares of Company Common Stock represented by such Book-Entry Share or Certificate have been converted pursuant to this Section 2.1, as well as any dividends or other distributions to which holders of Company Common Stock become entitled in accordance with Section 2.4(d).

(b) Dissenting Shares. No right to fair value or appraisal or similar rights shall be available to holders of Company Common Stock with respect to the Merger or the other transactions contemplated hereby.

(c) Certain Adjustments. If, between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time (and as permitted by Article V), the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock or Parent Common Stock shall have been changed into a different number of shares or a different class of shares by reason of any stock dividend, subdivision, reorganization, reclassification, recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock split, combination or exchange of shares, or any similar event shall have occurred, then the Exchange Ratio shall be equitably adjusted, without duplication, to proportionally reflect such change; provided that nothing in this Section 2.1(c) shall be construed to permit the Company or Parent to take any action with respect to its securities that is prohibited by the terms of this Agreement.

(d) No Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Parent Common Stock shall be issued in the Merger upon the surrender for exchange of Certificates or with respect to Book-Entry Shares or otherwise, and such fractional share interests shall not entitle the owner thereof to vote or to any other rights of a shareholder of Parent. Each holder of Company Common Stock converted pursuant to the Merger that would otherwise have been entitled to receive a fraction of a share of Parent Common Stock (after aggregating all shares evidenced by the Certificates and Book-Entry Shares delivered by such holder) shall receive from the Exchange Agent, in lieu thereof and upon surrender thereof, a cash payment (without interest) in an amount representing such holder’s proportionate interest in the net proceeds from the sale by the Exchange Agent on behalf of all such holders of Parent Common Stock that would otherwise be issued.

(i) As promptly as practicable following the Effective Time, the Exchange Agent shall determine the excess of (A) the number of whole shares of Parent Common Stock issued and delivered to the Exchange Agent pursuant to Section 2.4(a) representing the Merger Consideration over (B) the aggregate number of whole shares of Parent Common Stock to be distributed to former holders of Company Common Stock pursuant to Section 2.4 (such excess, the “Parent Excess Shares”). Following the Effective Time, the Exchange Agent shall, on behalf of former holders of Company Common

- 4 -

Stock, sell the Parent Excess Shares at the then-prevailing prices on the NYSE. The sale of the Parent Excess Shares by the Exchange Agent shall be executed on the NYSE through one or more member firms of the NYSE and shall be executed in round lots to the extent practicable. The Exchange Agent shall use its reasonable best efforts to complete the sale of the Parent Excess Shares as promptly following the Effective Time as is practicable, consistent with obtaining the best execution of such sales in light of prevailing market conditions. Until the net proceeds of such sale or sales have been distributed to the holders of Certificates and Book-Entry Shares formerly representing Company Common Stock, the Exchange Agent shall hold such proceeds in trust for holders of Company Common Stock (the “Parent Shares Trust”). The amount of all commissions, transfer taxes and other out-of-pocket transaction costs, including the expenses and compensation of the Exchange Agent incurred in connection with such sale of Parent Excess Shares shall be paid by the Company. The Exchange Agent shall determine the portion of the Parent Shares Trust to which each former holder of Company Common Stock is entitled, if any, by multiplying that amount of the aggregate net proceeds composing the Parent Shares Trust by a fraction, the numerator of which is the amount of the fractional share interest to which such former holder of Company Common Stock is entitled (after taking into account all shares of Parent Common Stock held as of immediately prior to the Effective Time by such holder) and the denominator of which is the aggregate amount of fractional share interests to which all former holders of Company Common Stock are entitled.

(ii) As soon as practicable after the determination of the amount of cash, if any, to be paid to holders of Certificates and Book-Entry Shares formerly representing Company Common Stock with respect to any fractional share interest, the Exchange Agent shall make available such amounts to such holders of Certificates and Book-Entry Shares.

Section 2.2 Treatment of Company Convertible Notes. The Company’s 3.000% Convertible Senior Notes due 2015 (the “2015 Convertible Notes”) issued pursuant to the indenture, dated as of December 14, 2010 (as amended or supplemented from time to time, the “Convertible Notes Indenture”), between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee, and the Company’s 1.625% Convertible Senior Notes due 2019 (the “2019 Convertible Notes” and together with the 2015 Convertible Notes, the “Company Convertible Notes”) issued pursuant to the Convertible Notes Indenture, issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall remain issued and outstanding unless converted prior to the Effective Time pursuant to the terms of the Convertible Notes Indenture, and shall be treated in accordance with the terms of the Convertible Notes Indenture following the Effective Time; provided, however, that any Company Convertible Notes that are owned by Parent and its Subsidiaries immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be transferred to the Surviving Corporation and shall be cancelled and retired by the Surviving Corporation, and no consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor.

Section 2.3 Appointment of Exchange Agent. Prior to Effective Time, Parent shall appoint a bank or trust company that is reasonably acceptable to the Company to act as exchange agent (the “Exchange Agent”) for the payment of the Merger Consideration and shall enter into an agreement (the “Exchange Agent Agreement”) relating to the Exchange Agent’s responsibilities, with respect thereto in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company (which confirmation of satisfaction shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

Section 2.4 Exchange of Shares.

(a) Deposit of Merger Consideration. Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall deposit, or shall cause to be deposited, with the Exchange Agent evidence of Parent Common Stock in book-entry form (and/or certificates representing such Parent Common Stock, at Parent’s election) representing the number of shares of Parent Common Stock sufficient to deliver the aggregate Merger Consideration (such shares, together with any dividends or distributions with respect thereto, the “Exchange Fund”).

(b) Exchange Procedures. As soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time and in any event within ten (10) business days of the Closing Date, Parent shall cause the Exchange Agent to mail to each holder of record of shares of Company Common Stock whose shares of Company Common Stock were converted pursuant to Section 2.1(a)(iii) into the right to receive the Merger Consideration (A) a letter of transmittal (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of the Certificates to the Exchange Agent and shall be in such form and have such other provisions as Parent and the Company may reasonably agree upon prior to the Effective Time) (the “Letter of Transmittal”) and (B) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares in exchange for the Merger Consideration and any dividends or other distributions to which such Certificates or Book-Entry Shares become entitled in accordance with Section 2.4(d).

(c) Surrender of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares. Upon surrender of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares to the Exchange Agent together with either a Letter of Transmittal, duly completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto, and such other documents as may customarily be required by the Exchange Agent, the holder of such Certificates or Book-Entry Shares shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor the Merger Consideration into which the shares represented by such Certificates or Book-Entry Shares have been converted pursuant to this Agreement, together with any dividends or other distributions to which such Certificates or Book-Entry Shares become entitled in accordance with Section 2.4(d). In the event of a transfer of ownership of shares of Company Common Stock that is not registered in the transfer or stock records of the Company, any cash to be paid upon, or shares of Parent Common Stock to be issued upon, due surrender of the Certificate or Book-Entry Share formerly representing such shares of Company Common Stock may be paid or issued, as the case may be, to such a transferee if such Certificate or Book-Entry Share is presented to the Exchange Agent, accompanied by all documents required to evidence and effect such transfer and to evidence that any applicable stock transfer or other similar Taxes have been paid or are not applicable. No interest shall be paid or shall accrue on the cash payable upon surrender of any Certificate or Book-Entry Share. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 2.4(c), each Certificate and Book-Entry Share shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive, upon such surrender, the Merger Consideration into which the shares represented by such Certificates or Book-Entry Shares have been converted pursuant to this Agreement, together with any dividends or other distributions to which such Certificates or Book-Entry Shares become entitled in accordance with Section 2.4(d).

- 6 -

(d) Treatment of Unexchanged Shares. No dividends or other distributions, if any, with a record date after the Effective Time with respect to Parent Common Stock, shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered share of Company Common Stock to be converted into shares of Parent Common Stock pursuant to Section 2.1(a)(iii) until such holder shall surrender such share in accordance with this Section 2.4. After the surrender in accordance with this Section 2.4 of a share of Company Common Stock to be converted into shares of Parent Common Stock pursuant to Section 2.1(a)(iii), the holder thereof shall be entitled to receive (in addition to the Merger Consideration payable to such holder pursuant to this Article II) any such dividends or other distributions, without any interest thereon, which theretofore had become payable with respect to the share of Parent Common Stock represented by such share of Company Common Stock.

(e) No Further Ownership Rights in Company Common Stock. The shares of Parent Common Stock delivered and cash paid in accordance with the terms of this Article II upon conversion of any shares of Company Common Stock shall be deemed to have been delivered and paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such shares of Company Common Stock. From and after the Effective Time, (i) all holders of Certificates and Book-Entry Shares shall cease to have any rights as shareholders of the Company other than the right to receive the Merger Consideration into which the shares represented by such Certificates or Book-Entry Shares have been converted pursuant to this Agreement upon the surrender of such Certificate or Book-Entry Share in accordance with Section 2.4(b) (together with any dividends or other distributions to which such Certificates or Book-Entry Shares become entitled in accordance with Section 2.4(d)), without interest, and (ii) the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed with respect to all shares of Company Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. From and after the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed, and there shall be no further registration of transfers on the stock transfer books of the Surviving Corporation of shares of Company Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, any Certificates or Book-Entry Shares formerly representing shares of Company Common Stock are presented to the Surviving Corporation, Parent or the Exchange Agent for any reason, such Certificates or Book-Entry Shares shall be cancelled and exchanged as provided in this Article II.

(f) Investment of Exchange Fund. The Exchange Agent shall invest any cash included in the Exchange Fund as directed by Parent; provided, however, that no such investment or loss thereon shall affect the amounts payable to holders of Certificates or Book- Entry Shares pursuant to this Article II, and following any losses from any such investment, Parent shall promptly provide additional funds to the Exchange Agent for the benefit of the holders of shares of Company Common Stock at the Effective Time in the amount of such losses, which additional funds will be deemed to be part of the Exchange Fund. Any interest or other income resulting from such investments shall be paid to Parent, upon demand.

(g) Termination of Exchange Fund. Any portion of the Exchange Fund (including any interest or other amounts received with respect thereto) that remains unclaimed by, or otherwise undistributed to, the holders of Certificates and Book-Entry Shares for 180 days after the Effective Time shall be delivered to Parent, upon demand, and any holder of Certificates

- 7 -

or Book-Entry Shares who has not theretofore complied with this Article II shall thereafter look only to Parent or the Surviving Corporation (subject to abandoned property, escheat or other similar Laws), as general creditors thereof, for satisfaction of its claim for Merger Consideration and any dividends and distributions which such holder has the right to receive pursuant to this Article II without any interest thereon.

(h) No Liability. None of Parent, the Company, Merger Sub or the Exchange Agent shall be liable to any person in respect of any portion of the Exchange Fund or the Merger Consideration delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, any portion of the Merger Consideration or the cash to be paid in accordance with this Article II that remains undistributed to the holders of Certificates and Book-Entry Shares as of the second anniversary of the Effective Time (or immediately prior to such earlier date on which the Merger Consideration or such cash would otherwise escheat to or become the property of any Governmental Entity), shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, become the property of the Surviving Corporation, free and clear of all claims or interest of any person previously entitled thereto.

(i) Withholding Rights. Each of the Surviving Corporation, Parent and the Exchange Agent (without duplication) shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable to any holder of a Certificate or Book-Entry Share pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as may be required to be deducted and withheld with respect to the making of such payment under applicable Tax Law. Any amounts so deducted, withheld and paid over to the appropriate Taxing Authority shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of the Certificate or Book-Entry Share in respect of which such deduction or withholding was made.

(j) Lost Certificates. If any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by Parent or the Exchange Agent, the posting by such person of a bond in such amount as Parent or the Exchange Agent may determine is reasonably necessary as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it or the Surviving Corporation with respect to such Certificate, the Exchange Agent (or, if subsequent to the termination of the Exchange Fund and subject to Section 2.4(g), Parent) shall deliver, in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate, the Merger Consideration and any dividends and distributions deliverable in respect thereof pursuant to this Agreement.

Section 2.5 Company Stock Options and Other Stock Awards; ESPP.

(a) Each option to purchase shares of Company Common Stock granted pursuant to a Company Stock Plan that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (each, a “Company Option”) shall, as of the Effective Time, be converted into an option to purchase, on the same terms and conditions (including with respect to vesting) as were applicable to such Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time (each, an “Adjusted Option”), the number of shares of Parent Common Stock, rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares, determined by multiplying the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to the Company Option by the Exchange Ratio, at an exercise price per share of Parent Common

(c) With respect to each outstanding award of shares of Company Common Stock subject to vesting, repurchase or other lapse restrictions granted under a Company Stock Plan that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (“Company Restricted Shares”) such vesting, repurchase or other lapse restrictions shall lapse as of the Effective Time and such Company Restricted Shares shall be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.1(a)(iii) with respect to each share of Company Common Stock underlying the award on the terms generally applicable to issued and outstanding shares of Company Common Stock.

(d) Each unvested restricted share unit award granted under a Company Stock Plan that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (each, a “Company RSU”) shall as of the Effective Time, be converted into a restricted stock unit award, on the same terms and conditions as were applicable to such Company RSU immediately prior to the Effective Time (including with respect to vesting) (each, an “Adjusted RSU”), in respect of the number of shares of Parent Common Stock, rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares, determined by multiplying the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to the Company RSU by the Exchange Ratio.

No participant may elect to participate in the ESPP after the date of this Agreement, participants may not increase their payroll deduction percentages or purchase elections from those in effect on the date of this Agreement and no new offering period under the ESPP shall commence under the ESPP following the date of this Agreement.

Parent’s disclosure controls and procedures are reasonably designed to ensure that all material information required to be disclosed by Parent in the reports that it files or furnishes under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC, and that all such material information is accumulated and communicated to Parent’s management as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure and to make the certifications required pursuant to Sections 302 and 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley 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, 2014, and such assessment concluded that such controls were effective. Based on and with respect to 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 of Directors (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, and each such deficiency, weakness and fraud so disclosed to auditors, if any, has been disclosed to the Company prior to the date hereof.

There are no liabilities or obligations of Parent or any of its Subsidiaries, whether accrued, absolute, determined or contingent, except for (i) liabilities or obligations disclosed and provided for in the balance sheets included in the Parent Financial Statements (or in the notes thereto) filed and publicly available prior to the date of this Agreement, (ii) liabilities or obligations incurred in accordance with or in connection with this Agreement, and (iii) liabilities or obligations that have not had and would not have, individually or in the aggregate, a Parent Material Adverse Effect.

- 46 -

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 5.3(a), if at any time from and after the date of this Agreement and prior to obtaining the Company Shareholder Approval, the Company, directly or indirectly receives a bona fide, unsolicited written Takeover Proposal from any person that did not result from a breach of this Section 5.3 by the Company, its Affiliates and the Company’s and its Affiliates’ Representatives and if the Company Board of Directors determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside financial advisors and outside legal counsel, that such Takeover Proposal constitutes or would reasonably be expected to lead to a Superior Proposal, then the Company may, directly or indirectly, (A) furnish, pursuant to an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement, information (including non-public information) with respect to the Company and its Subsidiaries, and afford access to the business, properties, assets, employees, officers, Contracts, books and records of the Company and its Subsidiaries, to the person that has made such Takeover Proposal and its Representatives and potential sources of funding; provided, that the Company shall substantially concurrently with the delivery to such person provide to Parent any non-public information concerning the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that is provided or made available to such person or its Representatives unless such non-public information has been previously provided or made available to Parent and (B) engage in or otherwise participate in discussions or negotiations with the person making such Takeover Proposal and its Representatives regarding such Takeover Proposal (including, as a part thereof, making counterproposals). “Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement” means any customary confidentiality agreement that contains provisions that are no less favorable to the Company than those applicable to Parent that are contained in the Confidentiality Agreement (including standstill restrictions), provided that such confidentiality agreement shall not prohibit compliance by the Company with any of the provisions of this Section 5.3.

(c) The Company shall promptly (and in no event later than 48 hours after receipt) notify, orally and in writing, Parent after receipt by the Company or any of its Representatives of any Takeover Proposal, including of the identity of the person making the Takeover Proposal and the material terms and conditions thereof, and shall promptly (and in no event later than 48 hours after receipt) provide copies to Parent of any written proposals, indications of interest, and/or draft agreements relating to such Takeover Proposal. The Company shall keep Parent reasonably informed, on a prompt basis, as to the status of (including changes to any material terms of, and any other material developments with respect to) such Takeover Proposal (including by promptly (and in no event later than 24 hours after receipt) providing to Parent copies of any additional or revised written proposals, indications of interest, and/or draft agreements relating to such Takeover Proposal). The Company agrees that it and its Subsidiaries will not enter into any agreement with any person subsequent to the date of this Agreement which prohibits the Company from providing any information to Parent in accordance with this Section 5.3.

(d) Except as expressly permitted by this Section 5.3(d) and, with respect to (i)(A) and (i)(B) of this Section only, Section 5.3(e), the Company Board of Directors shall not (i) (A) fail to include the Company Recommendation in the Proxy Statement, (B) change, qualify, withhold, withdraw or modify, or authorize or publicly propose to change, qualify, withhold,

- 47 -

withdraw or modify, in a manner adverse to Parent, the Company Recommendation, (C) take any formal action or make any recommendation or public statement in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer (other than a recommendation against such offer or a customary “stop, look and listen” communication of the type contemplated by Rule 14d-9(f) under the Exchange Act) (it being understood that the Company Board of Directors may refrain from taking a position with respect to such a tender offer or exchange offer until the close of business as of the tenth business day after the commencement of such tender offer or exchange offer pursuant to Rule 14d-9(f) under the Exchange Act without such action being considered an Adverse Recommendation Change) or (D) adopt, approve or recommend, or publicly propose to adopt, approve or recommend to shareholders of the Company a Takeover Proposal (any action described in this clause (i) being referred to as an “Adverse Recommendation Change”), or (ii) authorize, cause or permit the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to enter into any Alternative Acquisition Agreement (other than an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement entered into in accordance with Section 5.3(b)). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, prior to the time the Company Shareholder Approval is obtained, the Company Board of Directors may make an Adverse Recommendation Change and/or, if applicable, terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1(h) if after receiving a bona fide, unsolicited written Takeover Proposal that did not result from a breach of Section 5.3, the Company Board of Directors has determined in good faith, after consultation with its outside financial advisors and outside legal counsel, that (i) such Takeover Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal and (ii) in light of such Takeover Proposal, the failure to take such action would reasonably be likely to be inconsistent with the Company Board of Directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law; provided, however, that, prior to making such Adverse Recommendation Change or terminating this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1(h), (A) the Company has given Parent at least four (4) business days’ prior written notice of its intention to take such action (which notice shall specify the material terms and conditions of any such Superior Proposal) and has contemporaneously provided to Parent a copy of the Superior Proposal, a copy of any proposed Alternative Acquisition Agreement with the person making such Superior Proposal and a copy of any financing commitments relating thereto (or, if not provided in writing to the Company, a written summary of the material terms thereof), (B) the Company has negotiated, and has caused its Representatives to negotiate, in good faith with Parent during such notice period, to the extent Parent wishes to negotiate, to enable Parent to propose revisions to the terms of this Agreement such that it would cause such Superior Proposal to no longer constitute a Superior Proposal, (C) following the end of such notice period, the Company Board of Directors shall have considered in good faith any revisions to the terms of this Agreement proposed in writing by Parent, and shall have determined, after consultation with its outside financial advisors and outside legal counsel, that the Superior Proposal would nevertheless continue to constitute a Superior Proposal if the revisions proposed by Parent were to be given effect, and (D) in the event of any change to any of the financial terms (including the form, amount and timing of payment of consideration) or any other material terms of such Superior Proposal, the Company shall, in each case, have delivered to Parent an additional notice consistent with that described in clause (A) above of this proviso and a new notice period under clause (A) of this proviso shall commence (except that the four (4) business day period notice period referred to in clause (A) above of this proviso shall instead be equal to the longer of (x) two (2) business days and (y) the period remaining under the notice period under clause (A) of this proviso immediately prior to the delivery of such additional notice under this clause (D)) during which time the

- 48 -

Company shall be required to comply with the requirements of this Section 5.3(d) anew with respect to such additional notice pursuant to clauses (A) through (D) above of this proviso; and provided, further, that the Company has complied in all material respects with its obligations under this Section 5.3.

(e) Other than in connection with a Superior Proposal (which shall be subject to Section 5.3(d) and shall not be subject to this Section 5.3(e)), nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit or restrict the Company Board of Directors from making an Adverse Recommendation Change in response to an Intervening Event if the Company Board of Directors has determined in good faith, after consultation with its outside financial advisors and outside legal counsel, that the failure of the Company Board of Directors to make an Adverse Recommendation Change would be a violation of the Company Board of Directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law; provided, however, that, prior to making such Adverse Recommendation Change, (A) the Company has given Parent at least four (4) business days prior written notice of its intention to take such action, which notice shall specify the reasons therefor, (B) the Company has negotiated, and has caused its Representatives to negotiate, in good faith with Parent during such notice period after giving any such notice, to the extent Parent wishes to negotiate, to enable Parent to propose revisions to the terms of this Agreement such that it would not permit the Company Board of Directors to make an Adverse Recommendation Change pursuant to this Section 5.3(e), (C) following the end of such notice period, the Company Board of Directors shall have considered in good faith any revisions to the terms of this Agreement proposed in writing by Parent, and shall have determined, after consultation with its outside financial advisors and outside legal counsel, that failure to make an Adverse Recommendation Change in response to such Intervening Event would be a violation of the Company Board of Directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law and (D) in the event of any material change to the facts and circumstances relating to such Intervening Event, the Company shall, in each case, have delivered to Parent an additional notice consistent with that described in clause (A) above of this proviso and a new notice period under clause (A) of this proviso shall commence (except that the four (4) business day notice period referred to in clause (A) above of this proviso shall instead be equal to the longer of (1) two business days and (2) the period remaining under the notice period under clause (A) of this proviso immediately prior to the delivery of such additional notice under this clause (D)), during which time the Company shall be required to comply with the requirements of this Section 5.3(e) anew with respect to such additional notice pursuant to clauses (A) through (D) above of this proviso.

(f) Nothing contained in this Section 5.3 shall prohibit the Company or the Company Board of Directors from taking and disclosing to the shareholders of the Company a position contemplated by Rule 14e-2(a) or Rule 14d-9 promulgated under the Exchange Act or from making any “stop, look and listen” communication or any other similar disclosure to the shareholders of the Company pursuant to Rule 14d-9(f) under the Exchange Act if, in the determination in good faith of the Company Board of Directors, after consultation with outside counsel, the failure so to disclose would reasonably be likely to be inconsistent with the fiduciary duties under applicable Law or obligations under applicable federal securities Law of the Company Board of Directors; provided, that any such position or disclosure (other than any “stop, look and listen” communication) shall be deemed to be an Adverse Recommendation Change unless the Company Board of Directors expressly and concurrently reaffirms the Company Recommendation.

Section 5.4 Filings; Other Actions.

(a) As promptly as reasonably practicable following the date of this Agreement, Parent and the Company shall prepare and file with the SEC the Form S-4, which will include the Proxy Statement/Prospectus. Each of Parent and the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to have the Form S-4 declared effective under the Securities Act as promptly as reasonably practicable after such filing and to keep the Form S-4 effective as long as necessary to consummate the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby. The Company will cause the Proxy Statement/Prospectus to be mailed to the Company’s shareholders as soon as reasonably practicable after the Form S-4 is declared effective under the Securities Act. Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts, and the Company shall reasonably cooperate with Parent, to keep the Form S-4 effective through the Closing in order to permit the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the Merger. Parent shall also take any action required to be taken under any applicable state securities laws in connection with the issuance and reservation of shares of Parent Common Stock in the Merger, and the Company shall furnish all information concerning the Company and the holders of Company Common Stock, or holders of a beneficial interest therein, as may be reasonably requested in connection with any such action. No filing of, or amendment or supplement to, the Form S-4 or the Proxy Statement/Prospectus will be made by Parent or the Company, as applicable, without the other’s prior consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) and without providing the other party a reasonable opportunity to review and comment thereon. Parent or the Company, as applicable, will advise the other promptly after it receives oral or written notice of the time when the Form S-4 has become effective or any supplement or amendment thereto has been filed, the threat or issuance of any stop order, the suspension of the qualification of the shares of Parent Common Stock issuable in connection with the Merger for offering or sale in any jurisdiction, or any oral or written request by the SEC for amendment of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus or the Form S-4 or comments thereon and responses thereto or requests by the SEC for additional information, and will promptly provide the other with copies of any written communication from the SEC or any state securities commission. If at any time prior to the Effective Time any information relating to Parent or the Company, or any of their respective Affiliates, officers or directors, is discovered by Parent or the Company which should be set forth in an amendment or supplement to any of the Form S-4 or the Proxy Statement/Prospectus, so that any of such documents would not include a misstatement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, the party that discovers such information shall promptly notify the other parties hereto and an appropriate amendment or supplement describing such information shall be promptly filed with the SEC and, to the extent required by Law, disseminated to the shareholders of the Company. At the Company’s request, Parent shall cooperate in appropriately amending or supplementing the Proxy Statement/Prospectus to reflect any Adverse Recommendation Change made in compliance with this Agreement.

(b) As promptly as reasonably practicable following the clearance of the Proxy Statement by the SEC, the Company shall take all action necessary in accordance with applicable Laws and the Company Organizational Documents to duly give notice of, convene and hold a meeting of its shareholders for the purpose of obtaining the Company Shareholder Approval (the “Company Shareholders’ Meeting”) and not postpone or adjourn the Company

- 50 -

Shareholders’ Meeting except to the extent required by applicable Law or to solicit additional proxies and votes in favor of adoption of this Agreement if sufficient votes to constitute the Company Shareholder Approval have not been obtained; provided, that, unless otherwise agreed by Parent and the Company, the Company Stockholders’ Meeting may not be postponed or adjourned to a date that is more than 20 days after the date for which the Company Stockholders’ Meeting was originally scheduled (excluding any adjournments or postponements required by applicable Law). The Company will, except in the case of an Adverse Recommendation Change (i) through the Company Board of Directors, recommend that its shareholders adopt this Agreement and (ii) use reasonable best efforts to solicit from its shareholders proxies in favor of the adoption of this Agreement.

Section 5.5 Employee Matters.

(a) Subject to the provisions of Section 5.5(c), effective as of the Effective Time and for a period of one year thereafter, Parent shall provide, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to provide, to employees of the Company or its Subsidiaries who continue to be employed by Parent or the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective Subsidiaries following the Effective Time (the “Company Employees”) for so long as the applicable Company Employee remains employed by Parent or the Surviving Corporation, compensation and benefits that are substantially comparable in the aggregate to the compensation and benefits paid and provided to similarly situated employees of Parent and its Subsidiaries (other than the Company and its Subsidiaries); provided, that for purposes of the foregoing sentence the compensation and employee benefit plans generally provided to employees of the Company as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (including without limitation continued payment of Annual Bonuses as provided in Section 5.5(e) below) shall be deemed to be substantially comparable, on an aggregate basis, to those provided to similarly situated employees of Parent and its Subsidiaries for purposes of this sentence, it being understood that the Company Employees may commence participation in Parent’s compensation and benefit plans on different dates following the Effective Time with respect to different such plans.

(b) Following the Closing Date, Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, cause any employee benefit plans sponsored or maintained by Parent or the Surviving Corporation or their Subsidiaries in which the Company Employees become eligible to participate following the Closing Date (collectively, the “Post-Closing Plans”) to recognize the service of each Company Employee with the Company prior to the Closing Date for purposes of eligibility, vesting and benefit accrual rates or contribution rates under such Post-Closing Plans, in each case, to the same extent such service was recognized immediately prior to the Effective Time under a comparable Company Benefit Plan in which such Company Employee was eligible to participate immediately prior to the Effective Time; provided that such recognition of service shall not (i) apply for purposes of any defined benefit retirement plan or plan that provides retiree welfare benefits, (ii) operate to duplicate any benefits of a Company Employee with respect to the same period of service, (iii) apply for purposes of any plan, program or arrangement (x) under which similarly situated employees of Parent and its Subsidiaries do not receive credit for prior service or (y) that is grandfathered or frozen, either with respect to level of benefits or participation. With respect to any Post-Closing Plan that provides medical, dental or vision insurance benefits, for the plan year in which such Company Employee first participates (the first date of such participation, the “Participation Date”), Parent

- 51 -

shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (A) cause any pre-existing condition limitations or eligibility waiting periods under such plan to be waived with respect to such Company Employee to the extent such limitation would have been waived or satisfied under the Company Benefit Plan in which such Company Employee participated immediately prior to the Participation Date, and (B) if the Participation Date does not occur on the first day of a calendar year, credit each Company Employee for an amount equal to any medical, dental or vision expenses incurred by such Company Employee in the year in which the Participation Date occurs for purposes of any applicable deductible and annual out-of-pocket expense requirements under any such Post-Closing Plan to the extent such expenses would have been credited under the Company Benefit Plan in which such Company Employee participated immediately prior to the Participation Date. Such credited expenses shall also count toward any annual or lifetime limits, treatment or visit limits or similar limitations that apply under the terms of the applicable plan.

(c) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, following the Effective Time, while employed by Parent or the Surviving Corporation, the Company Employees whose employment is governed by a Collective Bargaining Agreement shall be provided compensation and benefits pursuant to the terms of the applicable Collective Bargaining Agreement as in effect from time to time.

(d) If requested by Parent in writing delivered to the Company not less than thirty (30) business days before the Closing Date, the Company Board of Directors (or the appropriate committee thereof) shall adopt resolutions and take such corporate action as is necessary to terminate the Company’s 401(k) plans (the “Company 401(k) Plans”), effective as of the day prior to the Closing Date. Following the Effective Time and as soon as practicable following receipt of a favorable determination letter from the IRS on the termination of the Company 401(k) Plans, the assets thereof shall be distributed to the participants, and Parent shall, to the extent permitted by Parent’s 401(k) plan (the “Parent 401(k) Plan”), permit the Company Employees who are then actively employed to make rollover contributions of “eligible rollover distributions” (within the meaning of Section 401(a)(31) of the Code, inclusive of loans), in the form of cash, in an amount equal to the full account balance (including any promissory notes) distributed to such Company Employee from the Company 401(k) Plans to the Parent 401(k) Plan; provided that this sentence shall not apply with respect to those accounts designated as “Roth” accounts under the Company 401(k) Plans.

(e) Notwithstanding anything set forth in any Company Benefit Plan or this Agreement to the contrary, the Company shall pay to Bonus-Eligible Employees (as defined below), at the end of each fiscal quarter occurring during the period between the date of this Agreement and the Closing Date, such portion of their respective Annual Bonuses (as defined below) (based on the achievement of applicable quarterly performance targets through the end of each such quarter as determined in accordance with the terms of the applicable Annual Bonus Plan (as defined below)) as shall have been accrued by the Company in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice in its financial statements, based on the achievement of such applicable quarterly performance targets, in respect of the Company’s fiscal year in which the Effective Time occurs. In addition, following the Closing Date, until such time as Bonus-Eligible Employees become eligible to earn annual bonuses pursuant to an applicable Post-Closing Plan, Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, continue to pay

- 52 -

such portions of the Annual Bonuses as shall have accrued, with such accrual and payment to be made in the same manner as provided in the preceding sentence. For purposes of this Section 5.5(e), the term (i) “Bonus-Eligible Employee”, shall mean any Company Employee who would have been eligible to receive payment of an Annual Bonus under the Annual Bonus Plan, who also remains employed through each applicable quarterly payment date referenced above and (ii) “Annual Bonus” shall mean the annual bonus in respect of a given fiscal year that otherwise could have been payable at the end of the applicable fiscal year, subject to achievement of applicable annual performance targets, pursuant to the applicable annual bonus Company Benefit Plans (identified in Section 5.5(e) of the Company Disclosure Schedule) (the “Annual Bonus Plans”).

(f) From and after the Effective Time, Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, honor all accrued and vested benefits under the Company Benefit Plans in accordance with their terms as in effect immediately before the Effective Time and applicable Law as such agreements and arrangements may be modified or terminated in accordance with their terms from time to time.

(g) Nothing in this Agreement shall confer upon any Company Employee or other service provider any right to continue in the employ or service of Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any Affiliate of Parent, or shall interfere with or restrict in any way the rights of Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of their Affiliates, which rights are hereby expressly reserved, to discharge or terminate the services of any Company Employee at any time for any reason whatsoever, with or without cause. In no event shall the terms of this Agreement be deemed to (i) establish, amend, or modify any Company Benefit Plan or any “employee benefit plan” as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA, or any other benefit plan, program, agreement or arrangement maintained or sponsored by Parent, Surviving Corporation, the Company or any of their Subsidiaries (including, after the Closing Date, Company and its Subsidiaries) or Affiliates; or (ii) alter or limit the ability of Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of their Subsidiaries (including, after the Closing Date, Company and its Subsidiaries) or Affiliates to amend, modify or terminate any Company Benefit Plan, employment agreement or any other benefit or employment plan, program, agreement or arrangement after the Closing Date. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, nothing in this Section 5.5 shall create any third party beneficiary rights in any Company Employee or current or former service provider of the Company or its Affiliates (or any beneficiaries or dependents thereof).

Section 5.6 Regulatory Approvals; Efforts.

(a) Prior to the Closing, Parent, Merger Sub and the Company shall use their respective reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable under this Agreement and any applicable Laws to consummate and make effective the Merger including (i) the preparation and filing of all forms, registrations and notices required to be filed to consummate the Merger, (ii) the satisfaction of the conditions to consummating the Merger, (iii) taking reasonable actions to obtain (and cooperating with each other in obtaining) any consent, authorization, Order or approval of, or any exemption by, any third party, including any Governmental Entity (which actions shall include furnishing all information and documentary material required under the HSR Act or other Competition Laws) required to be obtained or made in connection with the

- 53 -

Merger or the taking of any action contemplated by this Agreement (provided that the Company, Parent and Merger Sub acknowledge and agree that no consent, authorization, Order or approval of, or any exemption by, any third party, shall be a condition to the parties’ obligations to effect the Merger except as explicitly contemplated by Article VI), and (iv) the execution and delivery of any additional instruments necessary to consummate the Merger and to fully carry out the purposes of this Agreement. Additionally, each of Parent, Merger Sub and the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to fulfill all conditions precedent to the Merger and shall not take any action after the date of this Agreement that, at the time it is taken and to the knowledge of such party, would reasonably be expected to materially delay the obtaining of, or result in not obtaining, any permission, approval or consent from any such Governmental Entity necessary to be obtained prior to Closing or materially delay the fulfillment of, or result in not fulfilling, all conditions precedent to the Merger. To the extent that transfers of any permits issued by any Governmental Entity are required as a result of the execution of this Agreement or the consummation of the Merger, the parties hereto shall use reasonable best efforts to effect such transfers. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in no event shall Parent or the Company be required to sell, divest, dispose of, hold separate or otherwise agree to limit its freedom of action (each, a “Divestiture Action”) with respect to any assets, properties or businesses (including those assets, properties or businesses to be acquired by it under this Agreement). Neither party shall, without the written consent of the other party, publicly or before any Governmental Entity or other third party, offer, suggest, propose or negotiate, and shall not commit to or effect, by consent decree, hold separate order or otherwise, any Divestiture Action.

(b) Parent and the Company shall each keep the other apprised of the status of matters relating to the completion of the Merger and work cooperatively in connection with obtaining all required consents, authorizations, Orders or approvals of, or any exemptions by, any Governmental Entity undertaken pursuant to the provisions of this Section 5.6. In that regard, prior to the Closing, each party shall promptly consult with the other parties to this Agreement with respect to, provide any necessary information with respect to (and, in the case of correspondence, provide the other parties (or their counsel) copies of), all filings made by such party with any Governmental Entity or any other information supplied by such party to, or correspondence with, a Governmental Entity in connection with this Agreement and the Merger. Each party to this Agreement shall promptly inform the other parties to this Agreement, and if in writing, furnish the other party with copies of (or, in the case of oral communications, advise the other party orally of) any communication from any Governmental Entity regarding the Merger, and permit the other party to review and discuss in advance, and consider in good faith the views of the other party in connection with, any proposed communication with any such Governmental Entity. Neither party shall participate in any meeting or teleconference with any Governmental Entity where material issues would likely be discussed in connection with this Agreement and the Merger unless it consults with the other party in advance and, to the extent permitted by such Governmental Entity, gives the other party the opportunity to attend and participate thereat. Each party shall furnish the other party with copies of all correspondence, filings and communications (and memoranda setting forth the substance thereof) between it and any such Governmental Entity with respect to this Agreement and the Merger, and furnish the other party with such necessary information and reasonable assistance as the other party may reasonably request in connection with its preparation of necessary filings or submissions of information to any such Governmental Entity; provided, however, that materials

- 54 -

provided pursuant to this Section 5.6 may be redacted (i) to remove references concerning the valuation of the Company and the Merger or other confidential information, (ii) as necessary to comply with contractual arrangements, and (iii) as necessary to address reasonable privilege concerns.

(c) The Company and Parent shall use reasonable best efforts to file, as promptly as practicable, but in any event no later than fifteen (15) business days after the date of this Agreement, all notifications required under the HSR Act. The Company and Parent also agree to file, as promptly as practicable, any other notifications or filings required under other Competition Laws as set forth on Section 5.6(c) of the Company Disclosure Schedule (the “Other Competition Filing”). The Company and Parent shall supply as promptly as reasonably practical any additional information and documentary material that may be requested pursuant to the HSR Act or other Competition Laws and use its reasonable best efforts to take or cause to be taken all other actions necessary, proper or advisable consistent with this Section 5.6 to cause the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting periods as soon as practicable. Without limiting the foregoing, the parties shall request and shall use reasonable best efforts to obtain early termination of the waiting period under the HSR Act.

(d) The Company and Parent shall pay, or cause to be paid, in equal proportions, all filing fees incurred in connection with all notifications required under the HSR Act and other Competition Laws.

Section 5.7 Takeover Statutes. If any “moratorium,” “control share acquisition,” “fair price,” “supermajority,” “affiliate transactions” or “business combination statute or regulation” or other similar state anti-takeover Laws and regulations may become, or may purport to be, applicable to the Merger or any other transactions contemplated hereby, Parent, Merger Sub and the Company shall cooperate and grant such approvals and take such actions as are reasonably necessary so that the transactions contemplated hereby may be consummated as promptly as practicable on the terms contemplated hereby and otherwise act to eliminate or minimize the effects of such statute or regulation on the transactions contemplated hereby.

Section 5.8 Public Announcements. Parent and the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to develop a joint communications plan and each party shall use reasonable best efforts to ensure that all press releases and other public statements with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby, to the extent they have not been previously issued or disclosed, shall be consistent with such joint communications plan. Unless otherwise required by applicable Law or by obligations pursuant to any listing agreement with or rules of any securities exchange, each party shall consult with each other before issuing any material press release or material public statement with respect to the Merger and, subject to the requirements of applicable Law or the rules of any securities exchange, shall not issue any such press release or public statement prior to such consultation, provided that such consultation shall not be required with respect to press releases or public statements (a) that have substantially similar content to prior press releases or public statements that have been the subject of consultations pursuant to this Section 5.8 or (b) that relate to an Adverse Recommendation Change.

- 55 -

Section 5.9 Indemnification and Insurance.

(a) Parent and Merger Sub agree that all rights to exculpation, indemnification and advancement of expenses for acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Effective Time, whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the Effective Time, now existing in favor of the current or former directors, officers or employees, as the case may be, of the Company or its Subsidiaries as provided in their respective certificate of incorporation or bylaws or other organizational documents or in any agreement shall survive the Merger and shall continue in full force and effect. For a period of six years from the Effective Time, Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall maintain in effect (to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law) any and all exculpation, indemnification and advancement of expenses provisions of the Company’s and any of its Subsidiaries’ articles of incorporation, certificate of incorporation, code of regulations and bylaws or similar organizational documents in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time or in any indemnification agreements of the Company or its Subsidiaries with any of their respective current or former directors, officers or employees in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, and shall not amend, repeal or otherwise modify any such provisions or the exculpation, indemnification or advancement of expenses provisions of the Surviving Corporation’s organizational documents in any manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of any individuals who immediately before the Effective Time were current or former directors, officers or employees of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; provided, however, that all rights to indemnification in respect of any Action pending or asserted or any claim made within such period shall continue until the disposition of such Action or resolution of such claim.

(b) Parent shall, and shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law, indemnify and hold harmless (and advance funds in respect of each of the foregoing) each current and former director, officer or employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and each person who served as a director, officer, member, trustee or fiduciary of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, pension or other employee benefit plan or enterprise if such service was at the request or for the benefit of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (each, together with such person’s heirs, executors or administrators, an “Indemnified Party”), in each case against any costs or expenses (including advancing attorneys’ fees and expenses in advance of the final disposition of any claim, suit, proceeding or investigation to each Indemnified Party to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party to whom expenses are advanced provides an undertaking consistent with the Company Organizational Documents to repay such amounts if it is ultimately determined that such person is not entitled to indemnification), judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages, liabilities and amounts paid in settlement in connection with any actual or threatened claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (an “Action”), arising out of, relating to or in connection with any action or omission by them in their capacities as such occurring or alleged to have occurred whether before or after the Effective Time (including acts or omissions in connection with such Indemnified Party serving as an officer, director, employee or other fiduciary of any entity if such service was at the request or for the benefit of the Company). In the event of any such Action, Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall cooperate with the Indemnified Party in the defense of any such Action.

- 56 -

(c) For a period of six years from the Effective Time, Parent shall cause to be maintained in effect the coverage provided by the policies of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance and fiduciary liability insurance in effect as of the date hereof by the Company and its Subsidiaries or provide substitute policies for the Company and its current and former directors and officers who are currently covered by the directors’ and officers’ liability insurance and fiduciary liability insurance coverage in effect as of the date hereof by the Company and its Subsidiaries, in either case, of not less than the existing coverage and have other terms not less favorable to the insured persons than the directors’ and officers’ liability insurance and fiduciary liability insurance coverage with respect to matters existing or arising on or before the Effective Time; provided, however, that Parent shall not be required to pay annual premiums in excess of 300% of the last annual premium paid by the Company prior to the date hereof in respect of the coverages (the “Maximum Amount”) required to be obtained pursuant hereto, but in such case shall be obligated to obtain a policy with the greatest coverage possible that does not exceed the Maximum Amount in cost. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if Parent so elects, the Company shall purchase a “tail policy” with respect to acts or omissions occurring or alleged to have occurred prior to the Effective Time that were committed or alleged to have been committed by such Indemnified Parties in their capacity as such; provided that such “tail policy” shall provide coverage in an amount not less than the existing coverage and to have other terms not less favorable to the Indemnified Parties than the directors’ and officers’ liability insurance and fiduciary liability insurance coverage in effect as of the date hereof by the Company and its Subsidiaries; provided further in no event shall the cost of such policy, if purchased by the Company, exceed the Maximum Amount and, if such a “tail policy” is purchased, Parent shall have no further obligations under this Section 5.9(c). The Surviving Corporation shall maintain such policies in full force and effect, and continue to honor the obligations thereunder.

(d) Parent shall pay all expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, that may be incurred by any Indemnified Party in enforcing the indemnity and other obligations provided in this Section 5.9.

(e) The rights of each Indemnified Party shall be in addition to, and not in limitation of, any other rights such Indemnified Party may have under the certificate of incorporation or bylaws or other organizational documents of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or the Surviving Corporation, any other indemnification arrangement, the OGCL or otherwise.

(f) The obligations of Parent and the Surviving Corporation under this Section 5.9 shall not be terminated, amended or modified in any manner so as to adversely affect any Indemnified Party (including their successors, heirs and legal representatives) to whom this Section 5.9 applies without the consent of such Indemnified Party. It is expressly agreed that, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement that may be to the contrary, (i) the Indemnified Parties to whom this Section 5.9 applies shall be third-party beneficiaries of this Section 5.9, and (ii) this Section 5.9 shall survive consummation of the Merger and shall be enforceable by such Indemnified Parties and their respective successors, heirs and legal representatives against Parent and the Surviving Corporation and their respective successors and assigns.

- 57 -

(g) In the event the Surviving Corporation or any of its successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and is not the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers or conveys all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then and in each such case, the Surviving Corporation shall cause proper provision to be made so that the successors and assigns of the Surviving Corporation assume the obligations set forth in this Section 5.9.

Section 5.10 Control of Operations. Without in any way limiting any party’s rights or obligations under this Agreement, the parties understand and agree that (a) nothing contained in this Agreement shall give Parent or the Company, directly or indirectly, the right to control or direct the other party’s operations prior to the Effective Time and (b) prior to the Effective Time, each of the Company and Parent shall exercise, consistent with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, complete and independent control and supervision over its operations.

Section 5.11 Section 16 Matters.

None of the Company, Parent or Merger Sub shall take, or omit to take, any action that would, or would reasonably be expected to, prevent or impede the Merger from qualifying as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code.

ARTICLE VII.

TERMINATION

Section 7.1 Termination or Abandonment. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, this Agreement may be terminated and abandoned at any time prior to the Effective Time, whether before or after the Company Shareholder Approval has been obtained (except as otherwise provided below):

(a) by the mutual written consent of the Company and Parent;

(b) by either the Company or Parent, if the Merger shall not have been consummated on or prior to December 8, 2015 (the “End Date”); provided, that the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 7.1(b) shall not be available to a party if (i) the failure of the Closing to occur by such date shall be due to the material breach by such party of any representation, warranty, covenant or other agreement of such party set forth in this Agreement or (ii) the other party has filed (and is then pursuing) an action seeking specific performance as permitted by Section 8.5;

(c) by either the Company or Parent, if an injunction shall have been entered permanently restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the consummation of the Merger

- 63 -

and such injunction shall have become final and nonappealable; provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 7.1(c) shall not be available to a party if such injunction was due to the failure of such party to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement;

(d) by either the Company or Parent, if the Company Shareholders’ Meeting (including any adjournments or postponements thereof) shall have concluded and the Company Shareholder Approval shall not have been obtained;

(e) by the Company, if Parent or Merger Sub shall have breached or failed to perform any of its representations, warranties, covenants or other agreements contained in this Agreement, which breach or failure to perform (i) if it occurred or was continuing to occur on the Closing Date, would result in a failure of a condition set forth in Section 6.2(a) or Section 6.2(b) and (ii) by its nature, cannot be cured prior to the End Date or, if such breach or failure is capable of being cured by the End Date, Parent has not cured such breach or failure within thirty (30) days after receiving written notice from the Company describing such breach or failure in reasonable detail (provided that the Company is not then in material breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or other agreement contained herein);

(f) by Parent, if the Company shall have breached or failed to perform any of its representations, warranties, covenants or other agreements contained in this Agreement, which breach or failure to perform (i) if it occurred or was continuing to occur on the Closing Date, would result in a failure of a condition set forth in Section 6.3(a) or Section 6.3(b) and (ii) by its nature, cannot be cured prior to the End Date or, if such breach or failure is capable of being cured by the End Date, the Company has not cured such breach or failure within thirty (30) days after receiving written notice from Parent describing such breach or failure in reasonable detail (provided that Parent is not then in material breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or other agreement contained herein);

(g) by Parent, prior to receipt of the Company Shareholder Approval in the event of an Adverse Recommendation Change or upon any material breach by the Company of its obligations under Section 5.3; or

(h) by the Company, prior to receipt of the Company Shareholder Approval, if (i) the Company Board of Directors authorizes the Company, subject to complying in all material respects with the terms of Section 5.3, to enter into a definitive agreement with respect to a Superior Proposal and (ii) concurrently with the termination of this Agreement the Company, subject to complying in all material respects with the terms of Section 5.3, enters into such definitive agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal.

Section 7.2 Effect of Termination. In the event of termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1, this Agreement shall terminate (except for the provisions of Section 7.3 and Article VIII), and there shall be no other liability on the part of the Company or Parent to the other except as provided in Section 7.3, liability pursuant to the Confidentiality Agreement, or arising out of or the result of fraud or any intentional and material breach of any covenant or agreement or intentional and material breach of any representation or warranty in this Agreement, and the aggrieved party will be entitled to all rights and remedies available at Law or in

- 64 -

equity, including liability for damages, determined taking into account all relevant factors including the loss of the benefit of the Merger to the applicable party (including, in the case of the Company, the lost shareholder premium).

Section 7.3 Termination Fee.

(a) If this Agreement is terminated (i) by Parent pursuant to Section 7.1(g), (ii) by the Company pursuant to Section 7.1(b) and, at the time of such termination, (A) the Company Shareholder Approval shall not have been obtained and (B) Parent would have been permitted to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1(g), (iii) by the Company pursuant to Section 7.1(h), or (iv) by Parent or the Company pursuant to Section 7.1(b) or Section 7.1(d) or by Parent pursuant to Section 7.1(f), and in the case of any termination pursuant to this clause (iv), (A) a Takeover Proposal shall have been publicly announced or shall have become publicly known and (B) at any time on or prior to the twelve-month anniversary of such termination the Company or any of its Subsidiaries enters into a definitive agreement with respect to any Takeover Proposal or the transactions contemplated by any Takeover Proposal are consummated, the Company shall pay Parent the Termination Fee, by wire transfer (to an account designated by Parent) in immediately available funds (1) in the case of clause (i), within two business days of such termination, in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) prior to or concurrently with such termination, and in the case of clause (iv) upon the earlier of entering into such definitive agreement with respect to a Takeover Proposal or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by a Takeover Proposal. “Termination Fee” shall mean a cash amount equal to $50,000,000. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if the Termination Fee shall become due and payable in accordance with this Section 7.3(a), from and after such termination and payment of the Termination Fee pursuant to and in accordance with this Section 7.3(a), the Company shall have no further liability of any kind for any reason in connection with this Agreement or the termination contemplated hereby other than as provided under this Section 7.3(a), except in the case of fraud or intentional and material breach by the Company of this Agreement. Each of the parties hereto acknowledges that the Termination Fee is not intended to be a penalty, but rather is liquidated damages in a reasonable amount that will compensate Parent in the circumstances in which such Termination Fee is due and payable and which do not involve fraud or intentional and material breach, for the efforts and resources expended and opportunities foregone while negotiating this Agreement and in reliance on this Agreement and on the expectation of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, which amount would otherwise be impossible to calculate with precision. In no event shall Parent be entitled to more than one payment of the Termination Fee. Solely for purposes of this Section 7.3, “Takeover Proposal” shall have the meaning ascribed thereto in Section 8.15(xxv), except that all references to 15% shall be changed to 50%.

(b) Each of the Company, Parent and Merger Sub acknowledges that the agreements contained in this Section 7.3 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated hereby, and that, without these agreements, the Company, Parent and Merger Sub would not enter into this Agreement. Accordingly, if the Company fails to pay in a timely manner any amount due pursuant to Section 7.3(a), then (i) the Company shall reimburse Parent for all costs and expenses (including disbursements and reasonable fees of counsel) incurred in the collection of such overdue amount, including in connection with any related Actions commenced and (ii) the Company shall pay to Parent interest on such amount from and including

- 65 -

the date payment of such amount was due to but excluding the date of actual payment at the prime rate set forth in The Wall Street Journal in effect on the date such payment was required to be made.

The parties further agree that no party to this Agreement shall be required to obtain, furnish or post any bond or similar instrument in connection with or as a condition to obtaining any remedy referred to in this Section 8.5 and each party waives any objection to the imposition of such relief or any right it may have to require the obtaining, furnishing or posting of any such bond or similar instrument.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no failure or delay by any party hereto in exercising any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise of any other right hereunder.

•

Strong annual global aerospace market growth of 5 to 6 percent; 9-year production order book for commercial jets

NEW YORK and PITTSBURGH, March 9, 2015 – Lightweight, high-performance metals leader Alcoa (NYSE: AA) is announcing another major milestone in its transformation, further building its value-add portfolio for profitable growth. The Company has signed a definitive agreement to acquire RTI International Metals, Inc. (NYSE: RTI), a global supplier of titanium and specialty metal products and services for the commercial aerospace, defense, energy and medical device markets. Alcoa will purchase RTI in a stock-for-stock transaction with an enterprise value of $1.5 billion.

With RTI, Alcoa will grow its value-add businesses and further strengthen its aerospace portfolio. RTI will expand Alcoa’s range of titanium offerings and add advanced technologies and materials, increasing the Company’s position as a leading industrial innovator.

“Alcoa is accelerating its value-add growth engine by acquiring titanium leader RTI,” said Klaus Kleinfeld, Alcoa Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “We are combining two innovators in materials science and process technology, shifting Alcoa’s transformation into a higher gear. RTI expands our aerospace portfolio market reach and positions us to capture future growth to deliver compelling value for customers, shareholders and employees.”

“Innovation and scale are critical to winning in both the titanium and aerospace industries today, which is why this transaction is such a natural strategic fit for both RTI and Alcoa,” said Dawne Hickton, Vice Chair, President and Chief Executive Officer of RTI International Metals. “We are pleased to have an agreement with Alcoa that delivers immediate value to our shareholders that appropriately reflects the strength of our business. Through this combination of forces, RTI will take its innovative technologies to the next level and deliver even more value-add titanium solutions to meet customer needs. We look forward to continuing to accelerate RTI’s success as a part of the Alcoa team.”

Under the terms of the agreement, Alcoa will acquire all outstanding shares of RTI in a stock-for-stock transaction. RTI shareholders will receive 2.8315 Alcoa shares for each RTI share, representing a value of $41 per RTI share based on Alcoa’s closing price on March 6, 2015. The transaction has an enterprise value of $1.5 billion, including $330 million of RTI cash on hand and up to $517 million in RTI’s convertible notes.

Transaction Benefits

The acquisition will offer Alcoa financial benefits with realized net synergies of about $100 million in 2019, primarily driven by procurement and productivity improvements, leveraging Alcoa’s global shared services and driving profitable growth. Alcoa expects RTI to contribute $1.2 billion in revenues in 2019, up from $794 million generated in 2014, with 65 percent of revenues supported by contracts over the next five years. RTI is expected to reach profitability of 25 percent EBITDA margin in 2019, up from 14.5 percent in 2014.

This transaction is expected to enable Alcoa to capitalize on strong growth in the commercial aerospace sector. Alcoa projects a compounded annual global aerospace market growth rate of 5 to 6 percent through 2019 and sees a current 9-year production order book for commercial jets at 2014 delivery rates.

RTI grows Alcoa’s pro forma 2014 annual aerospace revenues by 13 percent, up from $5 billion to $5.6 billion. RTI is expected to increase Alcoa’s 2014 pro forma aerospace revenues to 37 percent of value-add sales, up from 35 percent. Alcoa’s aerospace business is the largest contributor to Alcoa’s value-add businesses.

Eighty percent of RTI’s revenues in 2014 were from the aerospace and defense industries, with the balance mainly split between other markets including energy and medical devices, complementing Alcoa’s growth markets.

Strategic Rationale

RTI brings proven midstream and downstream capabilities in titanium, the world’s fastest-growing aerospace metal. Spending on titanium aerospace mill products is expected to grow by about five percent annually over the next five years driven by high-growth, next-generation aircraft programs. RTI’s titanium operations span midstream processes such as melting, ingot casting, bloom, billet, plate and sheet production; and downstream extrusions for aerospace, oil and gas applications, high speed machining, and production of integrated subassemblies primarily for aerospace. These capabilities complement Alcoa’s titanium investment casting and forging capabilities, and will enable a value-creating closed titanium scrap loop. RTI will increase the percentage of Alcoa’s non-aluminum downstream revenues to 64 percent of total downstream sales.

RTI will expand Alcoa’s advanced manufacturing and materials technologies. Its high-velocity machining, forming, extruding and parts assembly operations will enable Alcoa to produce of some of the largest, most complex aerospace components. Advanced titanium powder metallurgy and processing technology will enable cost-effective production of near net shape aerospace components, as well as medical devices and oil and gas products. RTI will expand Alcoa’s additive manufacturing capabilities, such as 3-D printing, to produce titanium, specialty metals and plastic parts for aerospace, medical and energy applications. RTI also grows Alcoa’s portfolio of cutting-edge materials, including titanium-aluminides, complementing Alcoa’s industry leadership in metallics. Titanium-aluminides are increasingly used to manufacture lightweight, aerodynamic jet engine parts for high-volume, next-generation jet engines.

Timing

The transaction, which has been approved by the Boards of Directors of both companies, remains subject to customary conditions and receipt of regulatory approvals and RTI shareholder approval. Alcoa and RTI expect to obtain all required regulatory clearances and RTI shareholder approval in order to close the transaction in three to six months.

Greenhill & Co., Inc. and Morgan Stanley are acting as financial advisors to Alcoa, and Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz is serving as legal counsel. Barclays is acting as the sole financial advisor to RTI, and Jones Day is serving as legal counsel.

Colleagues,

Today Alcoa signed a definitive agreement to acquire RTI International Metals. RTI is a global leader in titanium products as well as titanium-based value add solutions, and has a strong foothold in the aerospace industry. This acquisition allows us to further expand our range of mid- and downstream titanium offerings to better support our customers.

Let me share with you a few exciting aspects of this transaction:

Titanium is the world’s fastest-growing aerospace metal. Many next-generation aircraft will have significantly more titanium than their predecessors. And, the aerospace market is expected to grow 5-6% annually through 2019. With this acquisition, Alcoa will be even better positioned than we already are today to capture some of this growth.

We’re growing Alcoa’s process and product innovation leadership. RTI also offers advanced manufacturing technologies. This will enable us to produce some of the largest, most complex aerospace parts as well as medical and oil and gas components. We will be combining Alcoa’s advanced manufacturing initiatives and our industry leadership in metallurgy with RTI’s sophisticated 3-D printing capabilities and their cutting-edge materials, such as titanium-aluminides that are increasingly important in manufacturing lightweight and aerodynamic jet engine parts.

Expanding Alcoa’s value-add portfolio is driving profitable growth. RTI will increase Alcoa’s aerospace revenues to 37% of value-add sales, making what is already the largest contributor to Alcoa’s value-add portfolio even bigger. By 2019, RTI is projected to contribute $1.2 billion in revenues and reach profitability of 25 percent EBIDTA margin, up from 14.5 percent in 2014. With approximately 65 percent of RTI’s projected revenues over the next five years supported by contracts, RTI is on a solid growth path.

We plan to begin building on those many benefits for Alcoa and RTI as soon as our acquisition receives government and regulatory approvals, which we expect in the next three to six months. This is another good step in the right direction as we are building out our value add businesses while at the same time making our commodities businesses more competitive.

All the best,

March 9, 2015

Dear Employees of RTI International Metals,

As you certainly have already learned from Dawne Hickton, RTI International Metals and Alcoa have agreed to join forces and to continue our path together in the future. Read the press release at www.alcoa.com/XXX, password “XXX.” I am pleased to be the first “Alcoan”–that’s what the people here call each other–to reach out to you, introduce our company and answer some of the first questions you might have.

Who is Alcoa? While your first thought might be that we’re an aluminum company because we pioneered the industry more than 125 years ago, since then we have become a global leader in an array of innovative lightweight, high-performance metals. Our 59,000 employees help our customers in a number of industries, from aerospace to automotive, from construction to packaging to consumer electronics.

While Alcoa has changed and grown throughout its 125-year history, the one constant for generations of Alcoans has been our enduring Values: Integrity… Environment, Health and Safety… Respect… Innovation… Excellence. Better than anything else, those Values answer the question, “Who is Alcoa?”

Why bring our companies together? Together, we’ll be positioned to meet demand for titanium parts in the soaring aerospace market, tapping into the fastest growing aerospace metal to capture even greater growth than either of us can achieve alone. We’ll build on our advanced manufacturing and materials technologies. From ingot to finished product, wing support structures and fuselage frames to landing gear components and fasteners, we will enhance our role as leading innovators.

What does Alcoa know about aerospace? When the Wright Brothers were building their first airplane, our aluminum crankcase helped their dream take flight. Today, 90% of all aerospace alloys on aircraft currently in service were developed by Alcoa, every Western commercial and military aircraft uses Alcoa fasteners, and every Western commercial and military aircraft engine is built with Alcoa nickel super-alloy investment castings. Our $5 billion aerospace business—64% of our downstream revenue is non-aluminum—is built on our customers’ confidence in Alcoa’s advanced technology. And, if you are not in aerospace, no worries, we are in many other industries with great offerings. Plus, there are few things we love more than profitable growth.

What does it mean for me? Well, it’s hard to answer this in specific details as I do not know you yet, but let me offer some thoughts. We at Alcoa believe the only sustainable competitive advantage in today’s fast moving world is the talent a company has and the way we work together as one team. RTI has been a success because of its people. We intend to build on that success by providing development programs to grow and take on new opportunities associated with Alcoa’s bright future. With today’s announcement, and you joining us, the promise of that future has become even brighter… for both Alcoa and RTI employees.

How will we come together? We will take the necessary steps to obtain regulatory and shareholder approvals and hope to receive those in the next three to six months. We’ll be planning to take our two strong, innovative businesses and combine them to make them even stronger and more competitive. We’ll be learning from you about your innovative materials and technologies. Meanwhile we’ll share with you how you can tap into what we call the “Alcoa Advantage,” the special resources that every business unit can draw on: access to longstanding customer relationships, support from the world’s leading lightweight metals technology center, purchasing power based on $18 billion in annual procurements, performance efficiencies from our global operating system and centers of excellence, and world-class talent programs that attract the best and brightest to Alcoa and help them grow in their careers.

As much as I wish the agreement could be finalized immediately, we must wait for regulatory and shareholder approvals. While we work on obtaining those approvals, you can use that time to learn more about the company that will soon be your company.

We invite you to visit www.alcoa.com/XXX, password “XXX.” from any internet-connected computer for more information about Alcoa, our transaction and the reasons why our two companies are such a great fit. You’ll also have the opportunity to ask your questions to start our dialogue. During this waiting period, we’ll use this site to keep you informed and connected to key company developments and integration planning activities and milestones.

Let me leave you with a short statement that represents where Alcoa has come from and where we are going: “Alcoa is Advancing each generation.” That’s our company vision. It acknowledges all that Alcoa has done for generations of customers, employees, investors and communities during the past 125 years… and what we plan to do in the future. I look forward to RTI sharing that future with us.

All the best,

Exhibit 99.6

E-mail to Alcoa Inc. Employees

March 9, 2015

Colleagues,

Today, Alcoa and EPS took another important step forward in our transformation with the announcement of the agreement to purchase RTI International Metals<http://www.alcoa.com/rti>. This is exciting news, and builds upon our acquisitions of Firth Rixson and TITAL, as well as organic investments in La Porte, Hampton, Whitehall, Lafayette, Vendargues, Carson and Morocco. This is a proud day for EPS – and for each one of us within our business.

The addition of RTI will strengthen our leading global position in multi-material jet engine and airframe component technologies, and significantly expand our aerospace market leadership with exceptional growth potential. The acquisition of RTI expands our multi-material portfolio, and broadens our range of titanium offerings and value-add solutions within the aerospace, energy and medical devices markets. RTI also brings a solid foundation for growth in advanced technologies such as:

•

Additive Manufacturing,

•

Titanium and Metal Matrix Composites powders with customized chemistries used in additive manufacturing,

•

Titanium-Aluminides used for the production of components for high-growth jet engine platforms, and

•

High velocity automated machining and flight critical integrated sub assemblies.

In addition to all of these capabilities, this transaction reinforces Alcoa’s commitment to our transformation strategy, and EPS’s critical role in it.

Your hard work and dedication to Alcoa day after day is what makes an acquisition like this possible—and what allows Alcoa to grow and succeed year after year. EPS is continually raising the bar on performance and your dedication has allowed us to consistently deliver innovative products and solutions to our customers, to improve productivity and continuously grow market share. I look forward to building on this successful track record as we welcome our RTI colleagues into the Alcoa family.

Between now and the closing, which we anticipate will occur in the next three to six months, we must work together to develop a solid post-merger integration (PMI) program, and in regards to our base business, we must continue to raise our level of service to our customers, improve the safety of our employees and boost our financial performance.

Regards,

Olivier
