Item 1.01

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On December 31, 2012, Avis Budget Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Avis”), Millennium Acquisition Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Avis (“Merger Sub”), and Zipcar, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Zipcar”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), pursuant to which, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, Avis has agreed to acquire all of the outstanding shares of Zipcar for $12.25 per share in cash, without interest, and pursuant to which Merger Sub will be merged with and into Zipcar with Zipcar continuing as the surviving corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Avis (the “Merger”).

On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), and as a result thereof, each share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of Zipcar (“Zipcar Common Stock”) that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than Zipcar Common Stock owned by Avis, Merger Sub or any of their respective subsidiaries, or by Zipcar or any subsidiary of Zipcar, which will be canceled without payment of any consideration, and Zipcar Common Stock for which appraisal rights have been validly exercised and not withdrawn) will be converted into the right to receive $12.25 in cash, without interest (the “Merger Consideration”). Each outstanding option to purchase Zipcar Common Stock (each, an “Option”) shall be accelerated, become fully vested and be cancelled prior to the Effective Time, and each holder of an Option shall be entitled to receive, in cash, the amount by which the Merger Consideration exceeds the exercise price of such Option multiplied by the number of shares of Zipcar Common Stock subject to such Option. Each outstanding warrant to purchase or otherwise acquire Zipcar Common Stock (each, a “Warrant”) shall be accelerated, become fully vested and be cancelled at the Effective Time, and each holder of a Warrant shall be entitled to receive, in cash, the amount by which the Merger Consideration exceeds the exercise price of such Warrant multiplied by the number of shares of Zipcar Common Stock subject to such Warrant. Each restricted share of Zipcar Common Stock (each, a “Zipcar Restricted Share”) shall become fully vested at the Effective Time and shall be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration.

Avis and Zipcar have made customary representations, warranties and covenants in the Merger Agreement, including, among others, covenants that: (i) Zipcar will conduct its business in the ordinary course consistent with past practice during the interim period between the execution of the Merger Agreement and the Effective Time, (ii) Zipcar will not engage in certain kinds of transactions during such period without the consent of Avis, (iii) Zipcar will cause a meeting of the Zipcar stockholders to be held to consider adoption of the Merger Agreement, and (iv) subject to certain customary exceptions, the Board of Directors of Zipcar (the “Zipcar Board”) will recommend adoption of the Merger Agreement by its stockholders. Zipcar has also made certain additional customary covenants, including, among others, covenants not to: (i) solicit proposals relating to alternative business combination transactions or (ii) subject to certain exceptions designed to allow the Zipcar Board to fulfill its fiduciary duties to stockholders of Zipcar, enter into discussions concerning, or provide confidential information in connection with, any proposals for alternative business combination transactions.

Consummation of the Merger is subject to customary conditions, including (i) adoption of the Merger Agreement by the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Zipcar Common Stock (the “Stockholder Approval”), (ii) the absence of any law or order prohibiting the consummation of the Merger, (iii) expiration or termination of the applicable waiting periods under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976 and any other applicable domestic or foreign antitrust or competition laws or regulations, and (iv) the absence of a material adverse effect with respect to Zipcar. The consummation of the Merger is not subject to a financing condition.

The Merger Agreement contains certain termination rights for both Avis and Zipcar, and further provides that, upon termination of the Merger Agreement in certain circumstances, including if the Merger Agreement is terminated by Avis in the event the Zipcar Board effects a Change of Company Board Recommendation or an Intervening Event Change of Recommendation (each as defined in the Merger Agreement), Zipcar would be required to pay Avis a termination fee of $16,807,250.

In connection with the parties’ entry into the Merger Agreement, the directors, executive officers and three holders of greater than 5% of the issued and outstanding shares of Zipcar Common Stock (the “Voting Parties”) have entered into separate voting agreements (the “Voting Agreements”) with Avis covering shares of Zipcar Common Stock legally or beneficially owned by the Voting Parties (the “Voting Party Shares”), which represent, in the aggregate, approximately 32% of Zipcar’s outstanding shares. Under the Voting Agreements, each Voting Party has agreed to vote his or her Voting Party Shares in favor of the Merger and against any Acquisition Proposal and certain other actions, proposals, transactions or agreements that could reasonably be expected to, among other things, result in a breach of any covenant, representation or

warranty of Zipcar under the Merger Agreement or such Voting Party under the Voting Agreement or impede, interfere with, delay, discourage, adversely affect or inhibit the timely consummation of the Merger. In addition, each of the Voting Parties has agreed not to make an Acquisition Proposal or initiate, solicit or engage in discussions with any other person regarding an Acquisition Proposal. Each Voting Party has further agreed to certain restrictions on the disposition of its Voting Party Shares, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Voting Agreements. The Voting Agreements provide that they will terminate upon the earlier of the effective time of (i) the Merger and (ii) any termination of the Merger Agreement in accordance with its terms.

The foregoing descriptions of the Merger, the Merger Agreement and the Voting Agreements do not purport to be complete and are subject to, and qualified in their entirety by reference to, the full text of the Merger Agreement, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 2.1 and incorporated herein by reference, and the full text of the Form of Voting Agreement, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 2.2 and incorporated herein by reference.

The Merger Agreement governs the contractual rights between the parties in relation to the Merger. The Merger Agreement has been filed as an exhibit to this Current Report on Form 8-K to provide investors with information regarding the terms of the Merger Agreement and is not intended to modify or supplement any factual disclosures about Avis or Zipcar in Avis’ or Zipcar’s public reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. In particular, the Merger Agreement is not intended to be, and should not be relied upon as, disclosures regarding any facts and circumstances relating to Avis or Zipcar. The representations and warranties contained in the Merger Agreement have been negotiated with the principal purpose of establishing the circumstances in which a party may have the right not to consummate the Merger if the representations and warranties of the other party prove to be untrue due to a change in circumstance or otherwise, and allocating risk between the parties, rather than establishing matters as facts. The representations and warranties may also be subject to contractual standards of materiality different from those generally applicable under the securities laws.

Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements in this report constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of Avis or Zipcar to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Statements preceded by, followed by or that otherwise include the words “believes”, “expects”, “anticipates”, “intends”, “projects”, “estimates”, “plans”, “may increase”, “forecast” and similar expressions or future or conditional verbs such as “will”, “should”, “would”, “may” and “could” are based upon then current assumptions and expectations and are generally forward-looking in nature and not historical facts. Any statements that refer to outlook, expectations or other characterizations of future events, circumstances or results, including all statements related to future results, future fleet costs, acquisition synergies and cost-saving initiatives are also forward-looking statements.

There can be no assurance that the proposed acquisition of Zipcar will occur as currently contemplated, or at all, or that the expected benefits from the transaction will be realized on the timetable currently contemplated, or at all. Additional risks and uncertainties relating to the proposed acquisition of Zipcar include, but are not limited to, uncertainties as to the satisfaction of closing conditions to the acquisition, including timing and receipt of regulatory approvals, timing and receipt of approval by the shareholders of Zipcar, the respective parties’ performance of their obligations under the merger agreement relating to the acquisition, the status of capital markets, including availability and cost of capital, and other factors affecting the execution of the transaction.

Other risks that could cause future results to differ from those expressed by the forward-looking statements included in this report include, but are not limited to, Avis’ ability to promptly and effectively integrate the businesses of Avis Europe and Avis Budget, Avis’ ability to promptly and effectively integrate the businesses of Zipcar and Avis (if and when the acquisition of Zipcar is completed), any change in economic conditions generally, particularly during Avis’ or Zipcar’s peak season or in key market segments, the high level of competition in the vehicle rental industry, a change in fleet costs as a result of a change in the cost for new vehicles and/or the value of used vehicles, disruption in the supply of new vehicles,

disposition of vehicles not covered by manufacturer repurchase programs, the financial condition of the manufacturers that supply Avis’ and Zipcar’s rental vehicles, which could impact their ability to perform their obligations under repurchase and/or guaranteed depreciation arrangements, any reduction in travel demand, including any reduction in airline passenger traffic, any occurrence or threat of terrorism, a significant increase in interest rates or borrowing costs, Avis’ and Zipcar’s ability to obtain financing for their operations, including the funding of their vehicle fleets via the asset-backed securities market, any changes to the cost or supply of fuel, any fluctuations related to the mark-to-market of derivatives which hedge exposure to exchange rates, interest rates and fuel costs, Avis’ and Zipcar’s ability to meet the financial and other covenants contained in the agreements governing their indebtedness, risks associated with litigation, regulation or governmental or regulatory inquiries or investigations involving Avis or Zipcar, and Avis’ and Zipcar’s ability to accurately estimate their future results and implement their strategies for cost savings and growth.

A further list and description of important assumptions and other important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements are specified in Avis’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 and Zipcar’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, included under headings such as “Forward-Looking Statements”, “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”, Avis’ most recently filed Form 10-Q, and in other filings and furnishings made by Avis with the SEC from time to time. Other unknown or unpredictable factors could also have material adverse effects on Avis’ or Zipcar’s performance or achievements. In light of these risks, uncertainties, assumptions and factors, the forward-looking events discussed in this report may not occur. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date stated, or if no date is stated, as of the date of this report. Avis undertakes no obligation to publicly any revisions to any forward-looking statements, to report events or to report the occurrence of unanticipated events unless required by law.

WHEREAS, the Company Board has, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, unanimously (i) determined that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the Merger, are fair to and in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders, (ii) approved and declared advisable this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, including the Merger (collectively, the “Transactions”), and (iii) directed that the adoption of this Agreement be submitted to the holders of Common Stock for approval;

WHEREAS concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, certain stockholders of the Company and certain officers and directors of the Company who are also stockholders of the Company are entering into Voting Agreements with Parent with respect to the Merger (the “Voting Agreements”). NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and premises contained in this Agreement and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties to this Agreement agree as follows:

ARTICLE 1

THE MERGER

1.1 The Merger.

(a) Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, and in accordance with the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”), at the Effective Time (as defined below) Merger Sub shall be merged with and into the Company. As a result of the Merger, the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub shall cease, and the Company shall continue as the surviving corporation of the Merger (the “Surviving Corporation”). The Merger shall have the effects set forth in the applicable provisions of the DGCL. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, at the Effective Time, all of the property, rights, privileges, immunities, powers and franchises of the Company and Merger Sub shall vest in the Surviving Corporation, and all of the debts, liabilities and duties of the Company and Merger Sub shall become the debts, liabilities and duties of the Surviving Corporation.

(b) At the Effective Time, the certificate of incorporation of the Company shall, subject to Section 5.12(b), be amended and restated in its entirety to read identically to the certificate of incorporation of Merger Sub as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, except that the name of the Surviving Corporation shall be “Zipcar, Inc.” (and excluding any provisions with respect to the incorporator or the initial directors) and, as so amended, shall be the certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter changed or amended as provided therein or by applicable Law. In addition, at the Effective Time, the bylaws of the Company shall, subject to Section 5.12(b), be amended and restated in their entirety to read identically to the bylaws of Merger Sub as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, except that the name of the Surviving Corporation as used therein shall be “Zipcar, Inc.” and, as so amended, shall be the bylaws of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter changed or amended as provided therein or by applicable Law.

(c) The parties shall take all actions necessary so that the directors of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, from and after the Effective Time, be the directors of the Surviving Corporation, each to hold office in accordance with the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Surviving Corporation until their respective successors shall have been duly elected or appointed and qualified, or until their earlier death, resignation or removal in accordance with the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Surviving Corporation. The officers of the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, from and after the Effective Time, be the officers of the Surviving Corporation, each to hold office in accordance with the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Surviving Corporation until their respective successors shall have been duly elected or appointed and qualified, or until their earlier death, resignation or removal in accordance with the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Surviving Corporation.

(d) After the Effective Time, if the Surviving Corporation shall determine or shall be advised that any deeds, bills of sale, instruments of conveyance, assignments, assurances or any other actions or things are necessary or desirable to vest, perfect or confirm of record or otherwise in the Surviving Corporation its right, title or interest in, to or under any of the rights, properties or assets of either of the Company or Merger Sub acquired or to be acquired by the Surviving Corporation as a result of, or in connection with, the Merger or otherwise to carry out this Agreement, then the officers and directors of the Surviving Corporation shall be authorized to execute and deliver, in the name and on behalf of either the Company or Merger Sub, all such deeds, bills of sale, instruments of conveyance, assignments and assurances and to take and do, in the name and on behalf of each of such corporations or otherwise, all such other actions and things as may be necessary or desirable to vest, perfect or confirm any and all right, title or interest in, to and under such rights, properties or assets in the Surviving Corporation or otherwise to carry out this Agreement.

1.2 Closing and Effective Time of the Merger. The closing of the Merger (the “Closing”) will take place at 10:00 a.m., Boston, Massachusetts time, on the fifth (5th) Business Day following the satisfaction or waiver of all of the conditions set forth in Article 6 (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the fulfillment or waiver of those conditions at the Closing), at the offices of Latham & Watkins LLP, 200 Clarendon Street, 20^th Floor, Boston, Massachusetts 02116, unless another time, date or place is agreed to in writing by the parties hereto. The date on which the Closing actually occurs is referred to herein as the “Closing Date”. At the Closing, the Company shall cause an appropriate certificate of merger or other appropriate documents (the “Certificate of Merger”) to be executed, acknowledged and filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware as provided in Section 251 of the DGCL and shall take all such reasonable further actions and make all other filings or recordings required under the DGCL. The Merger shall

become effective at the time the Certificate of Merger shall have been duly filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware or such other date and time as is agreed upon by the parties and specified in the Certificate of Merger, such date and time hereinafter referred to as the “Effective Time”.

1.3 Meeting of Stockholders to Approve the Merger.

(a) As promptly as reasonably practicable following the date of this Agreement, the Company shall prepare and file with the SEC (as defined below) a proxy statement for the Company Stockholder Meeting (together with any amendments or supplements thereto and any other required proxy materials, the “Proxy Statement”) relating to the Merger and this Agreement. The Company shall use reasonable best efforts to cause the Proxy Statement to comply as to form and substance in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Exchange Act. Parent and its counsel shall be given a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on the Proxy Statement and all other materials that (i) constitute “proxy materials” or “solicitation materials” as those terms are used in Regulation 14A under the Exchange Act or (ii) are otherwise used for the “solicitation” of “proxies” as those terms are defined in Rule 14a-1 under the Exchange Act, in each case, prior to the filing thereof with the SEC or the dissemination thereof to any stockholder of the Company. Subject to Section 5.6, the Company shall include in the Proxy Statement the recommendation of the Company Board that the stockholders of the Company vote in favor of the adoption of this Agreement in accordance with the DGCL (the “Company Board Recommendation”). The Company shall use reasonable best efforts to cause the Proxy Statement to be cleared by the SEC and disseminated to the stockholders of the Company as promptly as practicable following the filing thereof with the SEC. The Company shall provide Parent and its counsel with copies of any written comments, and shall inform them of any oral comments, that the Company or its counsel may receive from time to time from the SEC or its staff with respect to the Proxy Statement promptly after the Company’s receipt of such comments, and any written or oral responses thereto. Parent and its counsel shall be given a reasonable opportunity to review any such written responses. The Company shall, after consultation with Parent, respond promptly to any comments made by the SEC with respect to the Proxy Statement. The Company, on the one hand, and Parent, on the other hand, agree to promptly correct any information provided by it for use in the Proxy Statement if and to the extent that such information shall have become false or misleading in any material respect or as otherwise required by applicable Laws, and the Company further agrees to cause the Proxy Statement, as so corrected (if applicable), to be filed with the SEC and mailed to holders of Shares, in each case as and to the extent required by the Exchange Act or the SEC (or its staff). The Company agrees that as of the date it is first mailed to the Company’s stockholders and at the time of the Company Stockholder Meeting, none of the information supplied or to be supplied by the Company for inclusion or incorporation by reference in the Proxy Statement will contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading.

(b) As promptly as practicable following the date on which the SEC (or its staff) advises the Company or its counsel that it has no further comments thereon or that the Company may commence mailing the Proxy Statement in connection with the Company Stockholder Meeting, the Company shall, in consultation with Parent, (i) take all action necessary to duly call, give notice of, convene and hold the Company Stockholder Meeting for the purpose of seeking the adoption of this Agreement by the Company’s stockholders; (ii) cause the Proxy Statement to be printed and mailed to the stockholders of the Company; and (iii) subject to Section 5.6, use reasonable best efforts to seek any approval of stockholders of the Company that is required by applicable Law to effect the Merger. The Company shall not change the record date for the Company Stockholder Meeting or postpone or adjourn the date for which the Company Stockholder Meeting is scheduled without the prior written consent of Parent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); provided, however, the Company may postpone or adjourn the Company Stockholder Meeting (x) to allow additional time for the

prompt filing and mailing of any supplemental or amended disclosure which the Company Board has determined is necessary under applicable Law for such supplemental or amended disclosure to be reasonably disseminated and reviewed by the Company’s stockholders prior to the Company Stockholder Meeting or (y) if necessary, to solicit additional proxies in the event that there are not sufficient votes at the time of the meeting to adopt this Agreement. If, on a date for which the Company Stockholder Meeting is scheduled, the Company has not received proxies representing a sufficient number of votes to obtain the Company Stockholder Approval or to obtain a quorum for such meeting, the Company shall, at Parent’s written request, postpone or adjourn the Company Stockholder Meeting solely for the purpose of and for the minimum time reasonably necessary to obtain the Company Stockholder Approval. Except as Parent shall have otherwise consented to in writing in advance, (i) the Company Stockholder Approval and (ii) an advisory vote on golden parachute compensation in connection with the Merger in accordance with applicable federal securities laws shall be the only matters (other than procedural matters) which the Company shall propose to be acted on by the Company Stockholders at the Company Stockholder Meeting. The Company shall, on the reasonable request of Parent, advise Parent promptly as to the aggregate tally of proxies received by the Company with respect to the Company Stockholder Approval. Unless this Agreement has been validly terminated in accordance with its terms, the obligation of the Company to duly call, give notice of, convene and hold the Company Stockholder Meeting and to submit this Agreement to the stockholders of the Company for the purpose of obtaining the Company Stockholder Approval shall not be limited or otherwise affected by the commencement, disclosure, announcement or submission of any Acquisition Proposal or by any Change of Company Board Recommendation or Intervening Event Change of Recommendation.

(c) Upon Parent’s request, (i) the Company and Parent shall promptly prepare a mutually acceptable joint written presentation to Institutional Shareholder Services recommending adopting of this Agreement and approval of the Transactions, (ii) the Company shall request a meeting with Institutional Shareholder Services for purposes of obtaining its recommendation in favor of the adoption of this Agreement by the Company’s stockholders and (iii) the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such recommendation; provided, that the foregoing obligations shall not apply in the event the Company Board shall have made a Change of Company Board Recommendation or Intervening Event Change of Recommendation.

ARTICLE 2

EFFECT OF THE MERGER ON CAPITAL STOCK

2.1 Conversion of Securities. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or the holders of any of the following securities:

(a) Conversion of Common Stock. Subject to Section 2.2, each share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), of the Company (a “Share” or collectively, the “Shares”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, other than Shares to be cancelled in accordance with Section 2.1(b) and other than Dissenting Shares (as defined below), shall be converted into the right to receive $12.25 in cash, without interest (the “Per Share Amount”).

(b) Cancellation of Treasury Stock and Parent-Owned Stock. All Shares that are held in the treasury of the Company or owned of record by any of the Subsidiaries of the Company (each a “Company Subsidiary” and collectively, the “Company Subsidiaries”), and all Shares owned of record by Parent, Merger Sub or any of their respective wholly-owned Subsidiaries shall be cancelled and shall cease to exist, with no payment being made with respect thereto.

(c) Merger Sub Common Stock. Each share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and become one newly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock of the Surviving Corporation.

The cash to be paid upon the conversion of Shares pursuant to Section 2.1(a) is referred to herein as the “Merger Consideration”. At the Effective Time, all of the Shares shall cease to be outstanding, shall be cancelled and shall cease to exist, and each certificate (a “Certificate”) formerly representing any of the Shares (other than Shares to be cancelled in accordance with Section 2.1(b) and other than Dissenting Shares) shall thereafter represent only the right to receive the Per Share Amount, in each case without interest, subject to compliance with the procedures for surrender of such Shares as set forth in Section 2.2. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if, from the date of this Agreement until the Effective Time, the outstanding shares of Common Stock or the securities convertible into or exercisable for shares of Common Stock shall have been changed into a different number of shares or a different class by reason of any reclassification, stock split (including a reverse stock split), recapitalization, split-up, combination, exchange of shares, readjustment, or other similar transaction, or a stock dividend or stock distribution thereon shall be declared with a record date within said period, the Per Share Amount and any other similarly dependent items, as the case may be, shall be appropriately adjusted to provide the holders of Shares the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such event.

2.2 Payment for Securities; Surrender of Certificates.

(a) Payment Agent. At or immediately following the Effective Time, Parent shall deposit or shall cause to be deposited with a nationally recognized financial institution designated by Parent and reasonably acceptable to the Company (the “Payment Agent”) in immediately available funds all of the cash necessary to pay the Merger Consideration (such cash deposited with the Payment Agent being hereinafter referred to as the “Payment Fund”). The Payment Fund shall be invested by the Payment Agent, as directed by Parent, in (i) short-term obligations of the United States of America or (ii) short-term obligations backed by the full faith and credit of the United States of America, in each case pending payment thereof by the Payment Agent to the holders of Shares pursuant to this Article 2. Following the Effective Time, the Payment Agent shall, pursuant to irrevocable instructions, deliver the cash contemplated to be paid pursuant to Section 2.1 out of the Payment Fund. The Payment Fund shall not be used for any other purpose.

(b) Procedures for Surrender.

(i) Certificates. As promptly as practicable after the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Payment Agent to mail to each holder of record of a Certificate whose Shares were converted into the right to receive the Per Share Amount at the Effective Time pursuant to this Agreement: (i) 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 Payment Agent, and shall otherwise be in such form and have such other provisions as Parent may reasonably specify and as reasonably approved by the Company prior to the Effective Time, and (ii) instructions for effecting the surrender of the Certificates in exchange for payment of the Per Share Amount. Upon surrender of Certificates for cancellation to the Payment Agent or to such other agent or agents as may be appointed by Parent, and upon delivery of a letter of transmittal, duly executed and in proper form, with respect to such Certificates, and such other documents as may reasonably be required by the Payment Agent, the holder of such Certificates shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor the amount of cash into which each Share formerly represented by such Certificates was converted pursuant to Section 2.1(a), and the Certificates so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled. In the event of a transfer of ownership of

Common Stock that is not registered in the transfer records of the Company, payment of the Per Share Amount may be made to a Person other than the Person in whose name the Certificate so surrendered is registered, if such Certificate shall be properly endorsed or shall otherwise be in proper form for transfer and the Person requesting such payment shall pay any transfer and other similar Taxes required by reason of the payment of the Per Share Amount to a Person other than the registered holder of the Certificate so surrendered or shall establish to the satisfaction of Parent that such Taxes either have been paid or are not required to be paid.

(ii) Book-Entry Shares. Any holder of non-certificated Shares represented by book-entry (“Book-Entry Shares” and each individually a “Book-Entry Share”), in each case whose Shares were converted into the right to receive the Per Share Amount at the Effective Time pursuant to this Agreement, shall not be required to deliver a Certificate or an executed letter of transmittal to the Payment Agent to receive the Per Share Amount that such holder is entitled to receive pursuant to this Agreement. In lieu thereof, each holder of record of one or more Book-Entry Shares whose Shares were converted into the right to receive the Per Share Amount at the Effective Time pursuant to this Agreement shall, upon receipt by the Payment Agent of an “agent’s message” (or such other evidence, if any, of surrender as the Payment Agent may reasonably request) be entitled to receive in exchange therefor the amount of cash into which each Share formerly represented by such Book-Entry Share was converted pursuant to Section 2.1(a). Payment of the Per Share Amount with respect to Book-Entry Shares shall only be made to the Person in whose name such Book-Entry Shares are registered.

(iii) Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 2.2, each Certificate and each Book-Entry Share shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive the Per Share Amount into which the Shares formerly represented by such Certificate or Book-Entry Share has been converted pursuant to Section 2.1(a). No interest shall be paid or accrue on any cash payable upon surrender of any Certificate or Book-Entry Share.

(c) Transfer Books; No Further Ownership Rights in Shares. As of the close of business on the date of the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed and thereafter there shall be no further registration of transfers of Shares on the records of the Company. The Merger Consideration paid in accordance with the terms of this Article 2 upon conversion of any Shares shall be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such Shares. From and after the Effective Time, the holders of Shares outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall cease to have any rights with respect to such Shares except as otherwise provided for herein or by applicable Law. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates are presented to the Surviving Corporation for any reason, they shall be cancelled and exchanged as provided in this Agreement.

(d) Termination of Fund; Abandoned Property; No Liability. At any time following twelve (12) months after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall be entitled to require the Payment Agent to deliver to it any portion of the Payment Fund (including any interest received with respect thereto) not disbursed to holders of Shares, and thereafter such holders shall be entitled to look only to the Surviving Corporation (subject to abandoned property, escheat or other similar Laws) as general creditors thereof with respect to the Merger Consideration payable upon due surrender of their Shares and compliance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.2(b), without interest. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Surviving Corporation nor the Payment Agent shall be liable to any holder of a Share for Merger Consideration delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law.

(e) Withholding Rights. Parent, Merger Sub, the Surviving Corporation and the Payment Agent, as the case may be, shall be entitled to deduct and withhold or cause to be deducted or withheld from any amount otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any Person such amounts

as Parent, Merger Sub, the Surviving Corporation or the Payment Agent are required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code or any other provision of applicable Law. Parent, Merger Sub, the Surviving Corporation and the Payment Agent, as applicable, shall timely remit to the appropriate Governmental Entity any and all amounts so deducted or withheld. To the extent that amounts are so withheld and remitted to the appropriate Governmental Entity by Parent, Merger Sub, the Surviving Corporation or the Payment Agent or their respective affiliates, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of whom such deduction and withholding was made by Parent, Merger Sub, the Surviving Corporation or the Payment Agent or their respective affiliates.

(f) Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. In the event that any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, the Payment Agent shall issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the holder thereof, the Per Share Amount payable or deliverable in respect thereof pursuant to this Agreement; provided, however, that Parent may, in its reasonable discretion and as a condition precedent to the payment of any such Merger Consideration, require the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate to deliver a bond in such sum as Parent may reasonably direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against Parent, Merger Sub, the Surviving Corporation or the Payment Agent with respect to the Certificate alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.

2.3 Dissenting Shares. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Shares outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and held by a holder who is entitled to demand and has properly demanded appraisal for such Shares in accordance with, and who otherwise complies with, Section 262 of the DGCL (such Shares, “Dissenting Shares”) shall not be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration as provided in Section 2.1(a), and shall instead represent the right to receive only the payment provided by Section 262 of the DGCL. If any such holder fails to perfect or otherwise waives, withdraws or loses his right to appraisal under Section 262 of the DGCL or other applicable Law, then such Dissenting Shares shall be deemed to be Shares that have been converted as of the Effective Time into, and to have become exchangeable solely for, the right to receive the Per Share Amount as provided in Section 2.1(a), without interest. The Company shall give Parent (i) prompt notice of any written demands for appraisal, attempted withdrawals of such demands, and any other instruments served pursuant to applicable Law that are received by the Company relating to Company stockholders’ rights of appraisal, and (ii) the opportunity to participate in and control all negotiations and proceedings with respect to demands for appraisal under the DGCL. The Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of Parent, voluntarily make any payment with respect to any demands for appraisal, offer to settle or settle any such demands.

2.4 Treatment of Company Options, Company Warrants, Stock Plans.

(a) Treatment of Options. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company Board (or, if appropriate, any committee thereof) shall adopt appropriate resolutions and take all other actions necessary and appropriate to provide that, immediately prior to the Effective Time, each outstanding option to purchase Shares (the “Company Options”) other than the Company Warrants (as defined below), under any equity plan of the Company, including the 2000 Stock Option/Stock Issuance Plan, the 2010 Stock Incentive Plan and the 2011 Stock Incentive Plan, each as amended (collectively, the “Company Equity Plans”), or otherwise shall be accelerated and automatically become fully vested, cancelled and, in exchange therefor, each former holder of any such cancelled Company Option shall be entitled to receive, in consideration of the cancellation of such Company Option and in settlement therefor, a payment in cash (subject to any withholding in accordance with Section 2.2(e)) of an amount equal to the product of (i) the total number of Shares previously subject to such Company Option, and (ii) the excess, if any, of the Per Share Amount over the exercise price per Share previously subject to such

Company Option (such amounts payable hereunder, the “Option Payments”). Promptly following the Effective Time (and no later than ten (10) days following the Effective Time), Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to pay to each holder of a Company Option an amount equal to the Option Payment (if any) with respect to such Company Option. From and after the Effective Time, any such cancelled Company Option shall no longer be exercisable by the former holder thereof, but shall only entitle such holder to the payment of the Option Payment as set forth herein.

(b) Treatment of Warrants. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any further action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub, or the Company, each outstanding unexercised warrant to purchase or otherwise acquire shares of Common Stock (the “Company Warrants”) shall be accelerated and automatically become fully vested, cancelled and, in exchange therefor, each former holder of any such cancelled Company Warrant shall be entitled to receive, in consideration of the cancellation of such Company Warrant and in settlement therefor, a payment in cash (subject to any withholding in accordance with Section 2.2(e)) of an amount equal to the product of (i) the total number of Shares previously subject to such Company Warrant, and (ii) the excess, if any, of the Per Share Amount over the exercise price per Share previously subject to such Company Warrant (such amounts payable hereunder, the “Warrant Payments”). From and after the Effective Time, any such cancelled Company Warrant shall no longer be exercisable by the former holder thereof, but shall only entitle such holder to the payment of the Warrant Payment. Promptly following the date of this Agreement (and in no event later than the date on which the Proxy Statement is first mailed to the Company’s stockholders), the Company shall deliver written notice to each holder of a Company Warrant, in accordance with the terms of the applicable Company Warrant, informing such holders of the effect of the Merger on the Company Warrants.

(c) Treatment of Restricted Stock. Parent and Merger Sub acknowledge that all outstanding restricted stock awards (the “Company Restricted Shares”) shall automatically become fully vested and free of any forfeiture restrictions at the Effective Time, and the Company will use commercially reasonable efforts, including obtaining any required consents or amendments to the Company’s equity incentive plans, to permit holders of outstanding Company Restricted Shares to be treated in the Merger on the same terms and conditions as all other holders of unrestricted Shares.

(d) Termination of Company Equity Plans. After the Effective Time, all Company Equity Plans shall be terminated and no further Company Options or other rights with respect to Shares shall be granted thereunder.

subsection of the Company Disclosure Schedule to which its relevance is reasonably apparent from the actual text of the disclosure that such disclosure is relevant to such other section or subsection; and provided, further, that, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the inclusion of an item in such schedule as an exception to a representation or warranty will not be deemed an admission that such item represents a material exception or material fact, event or circumstance or that such item has had, or could have, a Material Adverse Effect), the Company represents and warrants to Parent and Merger Sub:

3.1 Organization and Qualification. The Company is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware. The Company has the requisite corporate power and authority to own, lease and operate its assets and properties and to carry on its business as it is now being conducted. The Company is qualified to do business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the assets and properties owned, leased and operated by it, or the nature of the business conducted by it, makes such qualification necessary, except where the failure to be so qualified or in good standing would not have a Material Adverse Effect. True, accurate and complete copies of the Company’s certificate of incorporation and bylaws, in each case as in effect on the date hereof, including all amendments thereto, have heretofore been made available to Parent.

3.2 Capitalization.

(a) The authorized capital stock of the Company consists of 510,000,000 shares, of which 500,000,000 shares are designated Common Stock and 10,000,000 shares are designated preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Preferred Stock”). As of December 31, 2012: (i) 40,121,660 shares of Common Stock and no shares of Preferred Stock, were issued and outstanding; and (ii) no shares of Common Stock or Preferred Stock were held in treasury. All of such issued and outstanding shares are validly issued and are fully paid and nonassessable. No issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s capital stock are subject to a repurchase or redemption right or right of first refusal or condition of forfeiture in favor of the Company.

(b) Except as set forth on Section 3.2(b) of the Company Disclosure Schedule, there are no outstanding subscriptions, options, contracts, commitments, restrictions, stock appreciation rights, phantom stock, rights or warrants, including any right of conversion or exchange under any outstanding security, instrument or other agreement and also including any rights plan or other anti-takeover agreement, obligating the Company to issue, deliver or sell, or cause to be issued, delivered or sold, additional shares of the Company’s capital stock. There are no voting trusts, proxies or other agreements or understandings to which the Company is a party or is bound with respect to the voting of any shares of the Company’s capital stock. Section 3.2(b) of the Company Disclosure Schedule sets forth the number of shares of Common Stock issuable, as of the date of this Agreement, upon (i) the exercise of outstanding Company Options and Company Warrants, and (ii) the vesting of outstanding Company Restricted Shares. The Company Options, the Company Warrants and Company Restricted Shares are collectively referred to as “Company Stock-Based Securities”. All shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of Company Options, Company Warrants or other Company Stock-Based Securities have been duly reserved for issuance by the Company, and upon issuance of such shares of Common Stock in accordance with the terms of the applicable Company Equity Plan or other arrangement, will be duly authorized, validly issued and fully paid and non-assessable and will not be subject to any preemptive or similar rights. No Company Option was granted with an exercise price less than the fair market value of the Company Option on the date of grant.

(c) Section 3.2(c) of the Company Disclosure Schedule sets forth a complete and accurate list of all record holders of outstanding Company Stock-Based Securities, indicating with respect to each of the Company Stock-Based Securities, (i) the number of shares of Common Stock

subject to such Company Stock-Based Securities (whether by exercise, conversion or vesting), held by each such record holder, (ii) the exercise or conversion price, date of issuance or grant and expiration date, if any, of such Company Stock-Based Securities, and (iii) the particular Company Equity Plan pursuant to which such Company Stock-Based Security was granted or issued. The Company has made available to Parent accurate and complete copies of each of the Company Equity Plans and the standard form of all agreements and instruments relating to or issued under each Company Equity Plan and all agreements and instruments relating to or issued under the Company Equity Plans that differ in any material respect from such standard form agreements.

(d) As of the date hereof, (i) no bonds, debentures, notes or other indebtedness of the Company having the right to vote are issued or outstanding, and (ii) there are no outstanding contractual obligations of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to repurchase, redeem or otherwise acquire any shares of the Company’s capital stock or any equity securities of any Company Subsidiary.

3.3 Subsidiaries.

(a) For each Company Subsidiary, Section 3.3(a) of the Company Disclosure Schedule lists the name, jurisdiction of incorporation or organization, and each jurisdiction such Company Subsidiary is qualified to do business.

(b) Each Company Subsidiary is a corporation or limited liability company duly incorporated or organized, validly existing and in good standing (except in the case of good standing, any jurisdiction that does not recognize such concept) under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation or organization, and has all corporate or limited liability powers, except where failure to be so incorporated or organized, validly existing or in good standing (except in the case of good standing, any jurisdiction that does not recognize such concept), or to have such corporate or limited liability powers would not have a Material Adverse Effect. Each Company Subsidiary is duly qualified to do business as a foreign corporation or limited liability company, and is in good standing in each jurisdiction where such qualification is necessary, except for those jurisdictions where failure to be so qualified or in good standing would not have a Material Adverse Effect. Other than its Subsidiaries, neither the Company nor any of the Subsidiaries beneficially owns or controls, directly or indirectly, any equity or similar securities of any corporation or other entity whether incorporated or unincorporated.

(c) All of the outstanding shares of capital stock of, or other voting securities or ownership interests in, each of the Company Subsidiaries are owned by the Company, directly or indirectly, free and clear of any Lien other than Liens specified in the organizational documents of such Company Subsidiary and other than any restrictions imposed under the Securities Act. Other than the outstanding shares of capital stock of, or other voting securities or ownership interests in, each Company Subsidiary that is owned by the Company, directly or indirectly through one or more Subsidiaries, there are no outstanding (i) shares of capital stock or other voting securities or ownership interests in any of the Company’s Subsidiaries, (ii) securities of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries convertible into or exchangeable for shares of capital stock or other voting securities or ownership interests in any of the Company’s Subsidiaries, or (iii) options or other rights by any Person other than the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to acquire from the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or other obligation of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to issue, any capital stock or other voting securities or ownership interests in, or any securities convertible into or exchangeable for any capital stock or other voting securities or ownership interests in, any of the Company’s Subsidiaries.

The Company has duly executed and delivered this Agreement and, assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery thereof by Parent and Merger Sub, this Agreement constitutes a valid and binding agreement of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, except as such enforcement may be limited by (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting or relating to enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, and (ii) general equitable principles.

(b) Except as set forth on Section 3.4(b) of the Company Disclosure Schedule, the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Company and the consummation by the Company of the Transactions do not (i) violate, conflict with or result in a breach of, (ii) constitute a default (or an event which, with notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute a default) under, (iii) result in the termination of, (iv) accelerate the performance required by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries under, (v) result in a right of termination or acceleration under, (vi) give rise to any obligation to make payments or provide compensation under, (vii) result in the creation of any Lien upon any of the properties or assets of the Company under, or (viii) give rise to any obligation to obtain any third party consent or provide any notice to any Person under, any of the terms, conditions or provisions of (A) the respective charters or bylaws or equivalent organizational documents of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, (B) any statute, law, ordinance, rule, regulation, judgment, decree, order, injunction, writ, Permit or license of any court or Governmental Entity applicable to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective properties or assets, other than the approvals and consents from Governmental Entities referenced in Section 3.4(c) of the Company Disclosure Schedule, or (C) any note, bond, mortgage, indenture, deed of trust, license, franchise, Permit, concession, contract, lease, partnership agreement, joint venture agreement or other agreement to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is now a party except, with respect to clauses (B) and (C), as would not have a Material Adverse Effect.

(c) No declaration, filing or registration with, or notice to, or authorization, consent or approval of, any Governmental Entity is necessary for the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Company or the consummation by the Company of the Transactions except (i) for (A) applicable requirements, if any, of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, state securities or “blue sky” laws or the rules and regulations of the NASDAQ Global Select Market (the “NASDAQ”), (B) the approvals and consents from Governmental Entities referenced in Section 3.4(c) of the Company Disclosure Schedule, (C) the filing with the SEC of the Proxy Statement, and other written communications that may be deemed “soliciting materials” under Rule 14a-12 of the Exchange Act, or (D) the filing of the appropriate merger documents as required by the DGCL, or (ii) as would not have a Material Adverse Effect.

3.5 No Violation of Law. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is in material violation of or has been given notice or been charged with any such violation of, any law, statute, order, rule, regulation, ordinance or judgment of any Governmental Entity.

3.6 Permits. The Company and its Subsidiaries have all material permits, licenses, approvals and authorizations (collectively, “Permits”) of all Governmental Entities required by the Company and its Subsidiaries to own, lease and operate their respective assets and carry on their respective businesses as currently conducted, and no such Permit is the subject of any suit or proceeding seeking the revocation, suspension, non-renewal or material impairment of such Permit. All applications required to have been filed for the renewal of any Permits have been duly filed on a timely basis with the appropriate Governmental Entity. Neither the Company nor any Company Subsidiary has received any written claim or notice nor has any knowledge that the Company or any Company Subsidiary is currently not in compliance in all material respects with the terms of any such Permits.

3.7 Compliance with Agreements. Except as set forth on Section 3.7 of the Company Disclosure Schedule, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is in breach or violation of, or in default in the performance or observance of, any term or provision of, and no event has occurred which, with lapse of time or action by a third party, would result in a default under, any Material Contract (as defined below) except for such breach, violation, default or event that would not have a Material Adverse Effect, and the Company has not received any written notice of any such breach, violation, default or event. To the knowledge of the Company, there exists no breach, violation, default in performance or obligation by any other party to any Material Contract, except for such breach, violation or default would not have a Material Adverse Effect.

3.8 SEC Matters.

(a) The Company has timely filed, within the time periods or extensions thereof prescribed under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, as applicable, and the rules and regulations thereunder, all forms, reports and other documents required to be filed by it with the SEC since June 1, 2010 (collectively, the “Company Reports”). As of their respective dates (or, if amended, supplemented or superseded by a filing prior to the date of this Agreement, as of the date so amended, supplemented or superseded), the Company Reports (i) complied in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations thereunder, and (ii) did not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements made therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. Each of the consolidated balance sheets included in the Company Reports (including the related notes and schedules) fairly presented in all material respects the consolidated financial position of the Company and its Subsidiaries as of the respective dates thereof and each of the consolidated statements of operations, cash flows and stockholders’ equity included in the Company Reports (including any related notes and schedules) fairly presents in all material respects the results of operations, cash flows or changes in stockholders’ equity, as the case may be, of the Company and its Subsidiaries for the periods set forth therein, in each case in accordance with GAAP consistently applied during the periods involved, except, as may be indicated in the notes thereto and, in the case of unaudited statements, for normal year-end audit adjustments. The principal executive officer of the Company and the principal financial officer of the Company (and each former principal executive officer or principal financial officer of the Company) have made the certifications required by Sections 302 and 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”), and the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder with respect to the Company Reports that were required to be accompanied by such certifications. For purposes of the preceding sentence, “principal executive officer” and “principal financial officer” shall have the meanings given to such terms in the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.

(b) The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting required by Rule 13a-15 or 15d-15 under the Exchange Act. Such controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that all material information concerning the Company and its Subsidiaries required to be disclosed by the Company in the Company Reports is made known on a timely basis to the individuals responsible for the preparation of the Company’s filings with the SEC and other public disclosure documents and such internal controls over financial reporting are effective to provide reasonable assurance to the Company’s management and the Company Board regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP.

To the Company’s knowledge, no breach or default exists under any of the Leases and no event has occurred which either entitles, or would, on notice or lapse of time or both, entitle any other party to any Lease to terminate such Lease prior to its scheduled term. Section 3.15 of the Company Disclosure Schedule sets forth any consents, waivers or other approvals required to be obtained by the Company as a result of the consummation of the Merger so that the Leases will continue in accordance with their terms following the Merger.

3.16 Environmental Matters.

(a) The Company and its Subsidiaries are and have been in compliance with, and have conducted their businesses in compliance with, all Environmental Laws, including having and complying with all Permits, licenses and other approvals and authorizations necessary for the operation of their businesses as presently conducted. In the past five (5) years, or at any time with respect to unresolved matters, the Company and its Subsidiaries have not received any written notices, demand letters or written requests for information from any Governmental Entity or other Person indicating that the Company or any of its Subsidiaries may be in material violation of, or liable in any material respect under, any Environmental Law. There are no, and have not been any, suits, actions, proceedings, judgments, orders, decrees, rulings, charges, or settlements pending or, threatened in writing against the Company or any of its Subsidiaries relating to any violation of or liability under, or alleged violation of or liability under, any Environmental Law.

the Company’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ businesses, and except as set forth in Section 3.17(a)(ii) of the Company Disclosure Schedule, it may use the same without obligation to pay any royalty, material license fee, or other consideration (other than click wrap, shrink wrap licenses or other similar licenses for commercial off-the-shelf software, which are not required to be listed). Except as set forth in Section 3.17(b) of the Company Disclosure Schedule, no material action (whether civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or informal) (i) has been, to the knowledge of the Company, asserted in the past six (6) years, or (ii) is currently pending, in each case, before any Governmental Entity or arbitrator, or is being threatened in writing by any Person, in which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party with respect to any Intellectual Property Rights owned, licensed, distributed or used by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in their respective businesses as conducted in the past six (6) years or as currently conducted (“Company IP Claim”), including any Company IP Claim that alleges that the operation of any such businesses infringes, misappropriates, impairs, dilutes or otherwise violates the rights of any Person or contests the validity, use, ownership, enforceability or registrability of any Intellectual Property Rights owned by the Company, and the Company and its Subsidiaries are not subject to any outstanding injunction, judgment, order, decree, ruling, charge, settlement, or other dispute involving any Person’s Intellectual Property Rights.

(d) To the knowledge of the Company, in the last eighteen (18) months, there have been no material failures, breakdowns, continued substandard performance or other adverse events affecting any software, hardware or computer systems owned, leased or licensed by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, including any used to provide Company products and services or to otherwise operate its business (“Company Systems”), that in any such case have caused or could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. The Company and its Subsidiaries maintain commercially reasonable security, disaster recovery and business continuity plans, procedures and facilities, use commercially reasonable efforts to act in compliance therewith, and have taken commercially reasonable steps to test such plans and procedures on a periodic basis.

3.18 Tax Matters. The Company and its Subsidiaries have (i) duly filed with the appropriate Tax Authority all material Tax Returns required to be filed, and such Tax Returns are correct and complete in all material respects, (ii) duly paid all material Taxes that are due (whether or not shown on any Tax Return), and (iii) duly withheld and paid all material Taxes required by applicable law to have been withheld and paid in connection with amounts paid or owing to any employee, independent contractor, creditor, or other third party.

No written claim has been made by any Tax Authority in a jurisdiction where the Company or any of its Subsidiaries does not file Tax returns that it is or may be subject to taxation by that jurisdiction. The liabilities and reserves for Taxes (rather than any reserve for deferred Taxes established to reflect timing differences between book and Tax income) reflected on the face of the balance sheet included in the Company Reports (rather than in any notes thereto) are adequate to cover the unpaid Taxes of the Company and its Subsidiaries for all periods ending at or prior to the date of such balance sheet, and the unpaid Taxes of the Company will not exceed such liabilities and reserves as adjusted for the passage of time through the Closing Date in the ordinary course of business and consistent with past practices. There are no Liens for Taxes upon any property or asset of either of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, except for Permitted Liens for Taxes. No audit or administrative or judicial Tax proceeding is pending or being conducted with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. Neither the Company nor any Company Subsidiary has received any written notice indicating an intent to open an audit or other review, a request for information related to Tax matters, or notice of deficiency or proposed adjustment for any amount of material Tax proposed, asserted or assessed. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has waived any statute of limitations in respect of Taxes or agreed to any extension of time with respect to a Tax assessment or deficiency. The Company has made available to Parent correct and complete copies of all federal income Tax Returns and all other material Tax Returns filed prior to the date hereof for the years 2009 through 2011 and for all other open years. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has any request for a ruling in respect of Taxes pending before any Tax Authority. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is a party to any agreement providing for the allocation or sharing of Taxes with or, pursuant to Treasury Regulations section 1.1502-6 (or any similar provision of state, local, or non-U.S. law) or otherwise, is liable for the Taxes of, any entity other than the Company or a Company Subsidiary (excluding customary Tax indemnification provisions in commercial Contracts not primarily relating to Taxes). Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has been either a “distributing corporation” or a “controlled corporation” in a transaction during the last two (2) years which the parties treated as a distribution to which Section 355 of the Code applied. Except as set forth on Section 3.18 of the Company Disclosure Schedule, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries will be required to include any item of income in, or exclude any item of deduction from, taxable income for any taxable period (or portion thereof) ending after the Closing Date as a result of any (A) change in method of accounting for a taxable period ending on or prior to the Closing Date, (B) “closing agreement” as described in Section 7121 of the Code (or any corresponding or similar provision of state, local, or non-U.S. law) executed on or prior to the Closing Date, (C) intercompany transactions or any excess loss account described in Treasury Regulations section 1502 (or any corresponding or similar provision of state, local, or non-U.S. law), (D) installment sale or open transaction disposition made on or prior to the Closing Date, (E) prepaid amount received on or prior to the Closing Date or (F) election under Section 108(i) of the Code. Except as expressly set forth in Section 3.12, this Section 3.18 constitutes all of the representations and warranties of the Company with respect to Taxes, and no other representation or warranty in this Agreement shall be construed to apply to any matter relating to Taxes.

3.19 Anti-Takeover Law Inapplicable. Subject to the accuracy of the representation set forth in Section 4.6 hereof, the Company Board has approved this Agreement and the Transactions, including, to the extent the persons that have entered into a Voting Agreement collectively hold shares of Common Stock representing fifteen percent (15%) or more than the total number of currently outstanding shares of Common Stock, the approval of the Voting Agreements, and such approval is sufficient to

render inapplicable to the Transactions any anti-takeover restrictions set forth in Section 203 of the DGCL and any other similar applicable restrictions contained in any similar statute or regulation of any jurisdiction which applies or purports to apply to any such transactions. No other “fair price,” “moratorium,” “control share acquisition” or other anti-takeover statute or regulation (each, a “Takeover Statute”), is, or at the Effective Time would reasonably be expected to be, applicable to the Shares or the Transactions.

3.20 Opinion of Financial Advisor. The Company Financial Advisor (as defined below) has rendered to the Company Board its opinion to the effect that, as of the date of such opinion, the consideration to be received pursuant to this Agreement by the Company’s stockholders is fair, from a financial point of view, to such stockholders, subject to the qualifications and assumptions contained therein.

3.21 Certain Loans and Other Transactions. The Company does not have outstanding, and has not arranged any outstanding, “extensions of credit” to directors or executive officers within the meaning of Section 402 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Except for the Material Contracts or as set forth in the Company Reports, no officer or director of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries nor any member of any such individual’s immediate family (whether directly or, to the Company’s knowledge, indirectly through an affiliate of such Person) is presently, or within the past twelve (12) months has been, a party to any transaction or contract with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

3.22 Insurance. Section 3.22 of the Company Disclosure Schedule sets forth all insurance policies maintained by the Company and its Subsidiaries (the “Company Insurance Policies”). All of the Company Insurance Policies are in full force and effect. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is in material breach or default, and neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has taken any action or failed to take any action which, with notice or the lapse of time, would constitute such a breach or default, or permit termination of any of the Company Insurance Policies. No written notice of cancellation or termination has been received by the Company with respect to any such Company Insurance Policy other than as is customary in connection with renewals of existing Company Insurance Policies.

3.23 Advisors’ Fees. Except for Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC (the “Company Financial Advisor”), there is no investment banker, broker, finder, financial advisor or other intermediary that has been retained by or is authorized to act on behalf of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that is entitled to any fee from the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (including, after the consummation of the Merger, from Parent or Merger Sub) in connection with the consummation of the Transactions.

(c) Neither the Company nor any Company Subsidiary nor, to the knowledge of the Company, any director, officer, agent, employee or other Person acting on behalf of the Company or any Company Subsidiary has, in the course of its actions for, or on behalf of, any of them (i) used any corporate funds for any unlawful contribution, gift, entertainment or other unlawful expenses relating to political activity; (ii) made any direct or indirect unlawful payment to any foreign or domestic government official or employee from corporate funds; (iii) violated any provision of the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended, and the UK Bribery Act of 2010 (including the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, the “Customs Laws”); or (iv) made any unlawful bribe, rebate, payoff, influence payment, kickback or other unlawful payment to any foreign or domestic government official or employee.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 5.6, if at any time following the date of this Agreement and prior to the Company securing the Company Stockholder Approval (i) the Company receives a bona fide written Acquisition Proposal involving the Company from a third party or group of third party Persons that was not solicited by the Company, the Company Subsidiaries or the Company Representatives and that did not otherwise result from a breach of this Section 5.6 in any material respect, and (ii) the Company Board determines, after consultation with its financial advisors and outside counsel, that (A) such Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal and (B) the failure to take such action would be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law, then the Company Board may (1) effect a Change of Company Board Recommendation with respect to such Superior Proposal or (2) terminate this Agreement to enter into a definitive agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal, if and only if, prior to taking any such action described in the preceding clause (1) or clause (2), (x) the Company provides prior written notice to Parent at least three (3) Business Days in advance of taking any such action, which notice shall state the Company’s intention to take such action and shall include the identity of the Person making the Superior Proposal and copies of all relevant documents relating to such Superior Proposal provided to the Company, any of the Company Subsidiaries or any of their respective Representatives (including copies of all draft agreements and any other written materials provided to the Company, any of the Company Subsidiaries or any of their respective Representatives to the extent such material contains any financial terms, conditions or other material terms relating to such Superior Proposal), (y) the Company shall, and shall cause the Company Subsidiaries to, and shall instruct and use its reasonable best efforts to cause their respective Representatives to, negotiate with Parent and its Representatives in good faith during such three (3) Business Day period (to the extent Parent desires to negotiate) to make such adjustments in the terms and conditions of this Agreement so that such Acquisition Proposal would cease to constitute a Superior Proposal (provided, that in the event that such Acquisition Proposal is modified by the Person making the Acquisition Proposal, the Company shall be required to deliver a new notice pursuant to the

preceding clause (x) and shall again comply with this clause (y)) and (z) the Company Board shall have considered in good faith any adjustments in the terms and conditions of this Agreement offered by Parent and shall have determined, after consultation with its financial advisors and outside counsel, that such Acquisition Proposal would continue to constitute a Superior Proposal if such changes offered by Parent were to be given effect. The Company shall not terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 5.6(d) unless in advance of or concurrently with such termination the Company pays the Termination Fee and otherwise complies with the provisions of Section 7.2.

(e) Notwithstanding this Section 5.6 or any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, at any time prior to the receipt of Company Stockholder Approval, the Company Board may grant a waiver or release under, or determine not to enforce any standstill agreement of the Company if the Company Board determines in good faith (after consultation with its outside legal counsel) that the failure to take such action would be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law. Other than in connection with a Superior Proposal (which shall be subject to Section 5.6(d) and shall not be subject to this Section 5.6(e)), the Company Board may take any action prohibited by clauses (iii) and (iv) of Section 5.6(a) (an “Intervening Event Change of Recommendation”) only in response to an Intervening Event and only if (i) the Company Board determines, after consultation with its financial advisors and outside counsel, that the failure to effect an Intervening Event Change of Recommendation would be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law and (ii) (A) the Company provides prior written notice to Parent at least three (3) Business Days in advance of effecting an Intervening Event Change of Recommendation, which notice shall specify the Intervening Event in reasonable detail, (B) the Company shall, and shall cause the Company Subsidiaries to, and shall instruct and use its reasonable best efforts to cause their respective Representatives to, negotiate with Parent and its Representatives in good faith during such three (3) Business Day period (to the extent Parent desires to negotiate) to make such adjustments in the terms and conditions of this Agreement as would permit the Company Board not to effect the Intervening Event Change of Recommendation (provided, that in the event that any material change to the facts and circumstances relating to such Intervening Event shall occur, the Company shall be required to deliver a new notice pursuant to the preceding clause (A) and shall again comply with this clause (B)) and (C) the Company Board shall have considered in good faith any adjustments in the terms and conditions of this Agreement offered by Parent and shall have determined, after consultation with its financial advisors and outside counsel, that such Intervening Event would continue to necessitate an Intervening Event Change of Recommendation if such changes offered by Parent were to be given effect.

(f) Nothing contained in this Section 5.6 shall prohibit the Company Board from (i) disclosing to the stockholders of the Company a position contemplated by Rule 14e-2(a), Rule 14d-9 or Item 1012(a) of Regulation M-A promulgated under the Exchange Act; or (ii) making any disclosure to the stockholders of the Company if the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with outside counsel, that the failure to make such disclosure would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties to the stockholders of the Company (for the avoidance of doubt, it being agreed that the issuance by the Company or the Company Board of a “stop, look and listen” statement pending disclosure of its position, as contemplated by Rules 14d-9 and 14e-2(a) promulgated under the Exchange Act shall not constitute a Change of Company Board Recommendation); provided, however, that notwithstanding anything in this Section 5.6(f), the Company Board shall not make a Change of Company Board Recommendation or Intervening Event Change of Recommendation except in accordance with Section 5.6(d) or Section 5.6(e), respectively.

(g) The Company agrees that in the event any of its Subsidiaries or Representatives takes any action which, if taken by the Company, would constitute a breach of this Section 5.6, the Company shall be deemed to be in breach of this Section 5.6.

(a) The Company and Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) take, or cause to be taken, all appropriate action and do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable Law or otherwise to consummate and make effective, the Merger and the other Transactions, including transactions under the Voting Agreements, as promptly as practicable, (ii) obtain from any Governmental Entities any consents, licenses, permits, waivers, approvals, authorizations or orders required or advisable to be obtained by Parent or the Company or any of their respective Subsidiaries, or to avoid any action or proceeding by any Governmental Entity, in connection with the authorization, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the consummation of the Transactions, (iii) cause the satisfaction of all conditions set forth in Article 6, (iv) vigorously defend all lawsuits or other legal, regulatory or other proceedings to which it is a party challenging or affecting this Agreement or the consummation of the Transactions, in each case until the issuance of a final, non-appealable order, (v) seek to have lifted or rescinded any injunction or restraining order which may adversely affect the ability of the parties to consummate the Transactions, in each case until the issuance of a final, non-appealable order, and (vi) (A) as promptly as practicable, and in any event within ten (10) Business Days after the date hereof, make or cause to be made an appropriate filing of a Notification and Report Form pursuant to the HSR Act with respect to this Agreement and the Merger and (B) as promptly as practicable, and in any event within thirty (30) calendar days after the date hereof, make or cause to be made all necessary and advisable applications and filings and/or engage with such Governmental Entity after consultation with the other party, and, in each case, thereafter make any other required or advisable submissions, and pay any fees due in connection therewith; provided, that the Company and Parent shall cooperate with each other in connection with determining whether any action by or in respect of, or filing with, any Governmental Entity is required or advisable in connection with the consummation of the Merger and seeking any such actions, consents, approvals or waivers or making any such filings. The Company and Parent shall furnish to each other all information required for any application or other filing under the rules and regulations of any applicable Law in connection with the Transactions. Parent shall not pull and re-file any notification to any Governmental Entity or consent to any voluntary delay of the Closing at the behest of any Governmental Entity without first notifying and consulting with the Company. Each of Parent and the Company shall not, except as may be consented to in writing by the other party, directly or indirectly through one or more of its controlled affiliates, take any action, including acquiring or making any investment in any corporation, partnership, limited liability company or other business organization or any division or assets thereof, that would reasonably be expected to cause a material delay in the satisfaction of the conditions contained in Article 6 or the consummation of the Merger. Without limiting this Section 5.7(a), Parent agrees to take, or cause to be taken, any and all steps and to make, or cause to be made, any and all undertakings necessary to avoid or eliminate each and every impediment under any antitrust, merger control, competition, or trade regulation Law or any other Law applicable to the Company, any Company Subsidiary or the Merger that may be asserted by any Governmental Entity with respect to the Merger so as to enable the Effective Time and the Closing, respectively, to occur as promptly as practicable (and in any event, no later than the Extended Outside Date (as defined below)), including (A) proposing, negotiating, committing to, and effecting, by consent decree, hold separate order, or otherwise, the sale, divestiture, licensing or disposition of such assets or businesses of Parent or the Company or any of their respective Subsidiaries, or (B) accepting any operational restrictions, including restrictions on the ability to change rates or charges or standards of service, or otherwise taking or committing to take actions that limit Parent’s or any Parent Subsidiary’s freedom of action with respect to, or its ability to retain or freely operate, any of the assets, properties licenses, rights, product lines, operations or businesses of Parent, the Company or any of their respective Subsidiaries (collectively, “Remedies”), in each case as may be required in order to avoid the entry of, or to effect the lifting or dissolution of, any injunction, temporary restraining order, or other order in any suit or proceeding, which would otherwise have the effect of preventing or delaying the Effective Time or the Closing, as applicable, unless such Remedies, individually or in the aggregate, would reasonably be expected to have

a material and adverse impact on (1) the business, financial condition or results of operations of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or (2) the reasonably expected benefits to Parent of completing the Merger, which reasonably expected benefits shall be measured at a level of those reasonably likely to have a material and adverse impact on the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, and not at the level or measure of what would be reasonably likely to have a material and adverse impact on Parent and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole (such a material and adverse impact, a “Material Adverse Impact”).

(b) The Company and Parent shall give (or shall cause their respective Subsidiaries to give) any notices to third parties, and use, and cause their respective Subsidiaries to use, commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any third party consents (i) necessary, proper or advisable to consummate the Merger and the other Transactions, including transactions under the Voting Agreements, or (ii) disclosed in the Company Disclosure Schedule; provided, however that the Company and Parent shall coordinate and cooperate in determining whether any actions, consents, approvals or waivers are required to be obtained from parties to any Material Contracts in connection with consummation of the Merger and in seeking any such actions, consents, approvals or waivers. In the event that either party shall fail to obtain any third party consent described in this Section 5.7(b), such party shall use commercially reasonable efforts, and shall take any such actions reasonably requested by the other party hereto, to minimize any adverse effect upon the Company and Parent, their respective Subsidiaries, and their respective businesses resulting, or which could reasonably be expected to result, after the Effective Time, as applicable, from the failure to obtain such consent.

(c) Without limiting the generality of anything contained in this Section 5.7, each party hereto shall: (i) give the other parties prompt notice of the making or commencement of any request, inquiry, investigation, action or legal proceeding by or before any Governmental Entity with respect to the Merger or any of the other Transactions, including transactions under the Voting Agreements; (ii) keep the other parties informed as to the status of any such request, inquiry, investigation, action or legal proceeding; and (iii) promptly inform the other parties of any communication to or from the Federal Trade Commission, the Department of Justice or any other Governmental Entity regarding the Merger. Each party hereto will consult and cooperate with the other parties and will consider in good faith the views of the other parties in connection with any filing, analysis, appearance, presentation, memorandum, brief, argument, opinion or proposal made or submitted in connection with the Merger, or any of the other Transactions, including transactions under the Voting Agreements. In addition, except as may be prohibited by any Governmental Entity or by any Law, in connection with any such request, inquiry, investigation, action or legal proceeding, each party hereto will permit authorized representatives of the other parties to be present at each meeting or conference relating to such request, inquiry, investigation, action or legal proceeding and to have access to and be consulted in connection with any document, opinion or proposal made or submitted to any Governmental Entity in connection with such request, inquiry, investigation, action or legal proceeding.

5.8 Certain Notices; Supplemental Disclosure.

(a) From and after the date of this Agreement until the Effective Time, each party hereto shall promptly notify the other party hereto of (a) the occurrence or non-occurrence of any event that would be likely to cause any condition to the obligations of any party to effect the Merger or any other transaction contemplated by this Agreement not to be satisfied, or (b) the failure of the Company, Parent or Merger Sub, as the case may be, to comply with or satisfy any covenant, condition or agreement to be complied with or satisfied by it pursuant to this Agreement which would reasonably be expected to result in any condition to the obligations of any party to effect the Merger or any other transaction contemplated by this Agreement not to be satisfied; provided, however, that the delivery of any notice pursuant to this Section 5.8(a) shall not cure any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement or otherwise limit or affect the remedies available hereunder to the party receiving such notice.

(b) Until the Closing, Parent, Merger Sub and the Company shall have the obligation to promptly supplement the information contained in their respective disclosure schedules attached hereto, for informational purposes only, with respect to any matter hereafter arising or discovered which, if in existence on the date hereof and known at the date of this Agreement, would have been required to be set forth or described in such disclosure schedules. Neither the supplementation of the disclosure schedules pursuant to the obligation in Section 5.8(b) nor any other disclosure after the date hereof of an inaccuracy in or breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement made or contained in this Agreement shall affect any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement made or contained herein or otherwise limit or affect the remedies available hereunder to any party hereto.

5.9 Public Announcements. The Company, on the one hand, and Parent and Merger Sub, on the other hand, agree that, from the date hereof through the Closing Date, no public release or announcement concerning the Transactions shall be issued or made by any party without the prior consent of the other party or parties (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), except (i) as such release or announcement may be required by law or the rules or regulations of any applicable United States securities exchange, in which case the party required to make the release or announcement shall allow the other party or parties reasonable time to comment on such release or announcement in advance of such issuance, (ii) that each of Parent, Merger Sub and the Company and their respective affiliates may make such an announcement to their respective employees, customers and suppliers, after consultation with the other parties, and (iii) with respect to any Change of Company Board Recommendation or Intervening Event Change of Recommendation or other action taken pursuant to Section 5.6(f).

5.10 Employee Benefit Matters.

(a) For a period of one (1) year following the Effective Time (the “Benefit Protection Period”), Parent shall either (i) assume and maintain, or cause the Parent Subsidiaries, including the Surviving Corporation, to assume and maintain, for the benefit of the employees of the Company and Company Subsidiaries immediately prior to the Effective Time who remain employed immediately following the Effective Time (the “Company Employees” and each individually a “Company Employee”), the Company Benefit Plans (other than the Company Equity Plans) at the benefit levels in effect on the date of this Agreement and provide or cause the Parent Subsidiaries, including the Surviving Corporation, to provide compensation and benefits to each Company Employee under the Company Benefit Plans or other employee benefit plans or compensation arrangements of Parent or any of the Parent Subsidiaries that have a value sufficient to replace the value of the compensation and benefits (other than any equity based compensation or benefits) provided to such Company Employee under the Company Benefit Plans immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than any equity based compensation or benefits), or (ii) provide or cause the Parent Subsidiaries, including the Surviving Corporation, to provide compensation and benefits (other than any equity based compensation or benefits) to the Company Employees that, taken as a whole (other than any equity based compensation or benefits), has a value that is not less favorable in the aggregate than the compensation and benefits (other than any equity based compensation or benefits) provided to the Company Employees immediately prior to the Effective Time.

(b) Without limiting the generality of Section 5.10(a), from and after the Effective Time, Parent shall, or shall cause the Parent Subsidiaries, including the Surviving Corporation, to, assume, honor and continue without unilateral amendment (unless required by applicable Law) during the Benefit Protection Period (or, if sooner, until all obligations thereunder have been satisfied), all of the

Company’s employment, severance, retention and change in control obligations under the offer letters and related documents and the Change in Control Bonus Plan set forth in Section 3.12(a) of the Company Disclosure Schedule, including with respect to any payments, benefits or rights arising as a result of the Transactions (either alone or in combination with any other event).

(c) With respect to any “employee benefit plan,” as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA, maintained by Parent or any of the Parent Subsidiaries, including the Surviving Corporation (including any vacation, paid time-off and severance plans, but other than any equity based plan) that replaces a comparable Company Benefit Plan and in which a Company Employee is eligible to participate following the Effective Time, for purposes of determining eligibility to participate, level of benefits, and vesting, each Company Employee’s service with the Company or any Company Subsidiary (as well as service with any predecessor employer of the Company or any Company Subsidiary, to the extent service with the predecessor employer is recognized by the Company or such Company Subsidiary) shall be treated as service with Parent or any of the Parent Subsidiaries, including the Surviving Corporation, to the extent recognized prior to the Effective Time for similar purposes under an equivalent Company Benefit Plan; provided, however, that such service need not be recognized to the extent that such recognition would result in any duplication of benefits or compensation.

(d) Parent shall, or shall cause the Parent Subsidiaries, including the Surviving Corporation, to waive, or cause to be waived, any pre-existing condition limitations, exclusions, actively-at-work requirements and waiting periods under any medical, dental or health benefit plan maintained by Parent or any of the Parent Subsidiaries in which U.S. Company Employees (and their eligible dependents) will be eligible to participate and that replaces an equivalent Company Benefit Plan that is a health benefit plan in the plan year in which the Effective Time occurs, except to the extent that such pre-existing condition limitations, exclusions, actively-at-work requirements and waiting periods would not have been satisfied or waived under the comparable Company Benefit Plan immediately prior to the Effective Time. Parent shall, or shall cause the Parent Subsidiaries, including the Surviving Corporation, to, use commercially reasonable efforts to recognize, or cause to be recognized, the dollar amount of all co-payments, deductibles and similar expenses incurred by each U.S. Company Employee (and his or her eligible dependents) during the calendar year in which the Effective Time occurs for purposes of satisfying such year’s deductible and co-payment limitations under the medical, dental or health benefit plan in which such U.S. Company Employee (and dependents) will be eligible to participate and that replaces a Company Benefit Plan that is a medical, dental or health benefit plan (as applicable) in the plan year in which the Effective Time occurs.

(e) Nothing contained in this Section 5.10, express or implied: (i) shall be construed to establish, amend, or modify any benefit or compensation plan, program, agreement, policy, contract or arrangement, (ii) subject to compliance with the other provisions of this Section 5.10, shall alter or limit the ability of Parent or any of its affiliates (including, following the Closing, the Surviving Corporation) to amend, modify or terminate any benefit or compensation plan, program, agreement, policy, contract or arrangement at any time assumed, established, sponsored or maintained by any of them, (iii) is intended to confer upon any Person (including any Company Employee) any right to employment or continued employment for any period of time by reason of this Agreement, or any right to a particular term or condition of employment, or shall in any way limit the ability of Parent or any of its affiliates (including, following the Closing, the Surviving Corporation) to terminate the employment of any employee (including any Company Employee) at any time and for any or no reason, or (iv) is intended to confer upon any Person (including any Company Employee) any rights as a third-party beneficiary of this Agreement.

(f) The Company shall take such actions as are reasonably necessary or appropriate to terminate the Company’s 401(k) plan in accordance with the terms of such plan and the

requirements of applicable Law, with such termination to be effective at least one day prior to the Closing Date, and the Company shall provide to Parent at least one day prior to the Closing Date written evidence (in a form reasonably satisfactory to Parent) of such termination. As soon as reasonably practicable following the Closing, each Company Employee shall become eligible to participate in Parent’s 401(k) plan subject to and in accordance with its terms and shall, at the participant’s election, be able to roll over such participant’s outstanding participant loan and related promissory note under the Company’s 401(k) plan to Parent’s 401(k) plan to the extent such loan constitutes part of an “eligible rollover distribution” as defined in Section 402(c)(4) of the Code. During the period commencing on the Closing Date and ending at the time of the rollover or other distribution of such promissory notes and related account balances, such loans shall continue to be maintained under the Company’s 401(k) plan, and Parent shall make payroll deductions in respect of required payments under any such loan and timely remit such amounts to the Company’s 401(k) plan as payments on such loan. During such period, provided that the participant continues to make all required installment payments with respect to such loan, such loan shall not be placed in default.

5.11 Takeover Laws. If any “control share acquisition”, “fair price”, “business combination”, or other anti-takeover Law becomes or is deemed to be applicable to the Merger, including the acquisition of Shares pursuant thereto, or any other transaction contemplated by this Agreement, then the Company and the Company Board shall take all action reasonably available to it to render such Law inapplicable to the foregoing.

5.12 Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

(a) For a period beginning at the Effective Time and ending on the sixth (6^th) anniversary of the Effective Time, Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall, jointly and severally, indemnify and hold harmless all past and present directors and officers of the Company or any Company Subsidiary to the fullest extent permitted by Law, arising out of acts or omissions in their capacity as directors or officers of the Company or any Company Subsidiary occurring at or prior to the Effective Time. Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall, jointly and severally, advance reasonable expenses in a timely fashion (including reasonable legal fees and expenses) incurred in the defense of any claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation with respect to the matters subject to indemnification pursuant to this Section 5.12(a); provided, however, that the director or officer to whom expenses are advanced undertakes to repay such advanced expenses to Parent and the Surviving Corporation if it is ultimately determined that such director or officer is not entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Section 5.12(a). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if any claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation (whether arising before, at or after the Effective Time) is made against such persons with respect to matters subject to indemnification or expense advancement hereunder on or prior to the sixth (6^th) anniversary of the Effective Time, the provisions of this Section 5.12(a) shall continue in effect until the final disposition of such claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation. Any Person wishing to claim indemnification under this Section 5.12(a), upon learning of any such claim, shall promptly notify Parent thereof, but the failure to so notify Parent shall not relieve Parent or the Surviving Corporation of any liability it may have to such Person except to the extent such failure materially prejudiced the indemnifying party. Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall not be liable for any settlement or compromise effected without their prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably conditioned, withheld or delayed.

(b) For not less than six (6) years from and after the Effective Time, the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Surviving Corporation shall contain provisions no less favorable with respect to exculpation, indemnification and advancement of expenses of directors and officers of the Company for periods at or prior to the Effective Time than are currently set forth in the Company’s certificate of incorporation and bylaws. The indemnification agreements, if any, in existence

on the date of this Agreement with any of the directors or officers of the Company or any Company Subsidiary and set forth in Section 3.14 of the Company Disclosure Schedule shall be assumed by the Surviving Corporation, without any further action, and shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with their terms following the Effective Time.

(c) For the benefit of the Company’s directors and officers, the Company shall be permitted, prior to the Effective Time, to obtain and fully pay the premium for a “tail” insurance policy that provides coverage for a period of six (6) years from and after the Effective Time for events occurring prior to the Effective Time (the “D&O Insurance”) that is substantially equivalent to and in any event not less favorable in the aggregate than the Company’s existing policy (true and complete copies which have been previously provided to Parent) or, if substantially equivalent insurance coverage is unavailable, the best available coverage; provided, however, that in each case, the Company shall not pay an annual premium for the D&O Insurance in excess of three hundred percent (300%) of the last annual premium paid prior to the date of this Agreement. If the Company is unable to purchase such D&O Insurance prior to the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall, and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, as of the Effective Time, obtain and fully pay the premium for D&O Insurance that is substantially equivalent to and in any event not less favorable in the aggregate than the Company’s existing policy (true and complete copies which have been previously provided to Parent) or, if substantially equivalent insurance coverage is unavailable, the best available coverage; provided, however, that the Surviving Corporation shall not be required to pay an annual premium for the D&O Insurance in excess of three hundred percent (300%) of the last annual premium paid prior to the date of this Agreement, but in such case shall purchase as much coverage as is available for such amount. The Surviving Corporation shall maintain such policies in full force and effect, and continue to honor the obligations thereunder for a period of not less than six (6) years from and after the Effective Time.

(d) In the event Parent or the Surviving Corporation (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger, or (ii) transfers all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then proper provision shall be made so that such continuing or surviving corporation or entity or transferee of such assets, as the case may be, shall assume the obligations set forth in this Section 5.12.

(e) The obligations under this Section 5.12 shall not be terminated or modified in such a manner as to adversely affect any past or present directors or officers of the Company to whom this Section 5.12 applies without the consent of such affected Person (it being expressly agreed that the persons to whom this Section 5.12 applies are express third party beneficiaries of this Section 5.12).

(f) In the event of any breach by the Surviving Corporation or Parent of this Section 5.12, the Surviving Corporation or Parent shall, jointly and severally, be obligated to pay all reasonable expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, that may be incurred by any past or present directors or officers of the Company in enforcing the indemnity and other obligations provided in this Section 5.12 as such fees are incurred upon the written request of such person.

5.13 Parent Agreements Concerning Merger Sub. Parent shall, immediately following execution of this Agreement, adopt this Agreement in its capacity as sole stockholder of Merger Sub and shall, upon the Company’s request, deliver to the Company evidence of its vote or action by written consent approving and adopting this Agreement in accordance with applicable Law and the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of Merger Sub.

5.14 Section 16 Matters. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company Board and the Parent Board, or an appropriate committee of non-employee directors thereof, shall adopt resolutions

consistent with the interpretive guidance of the SEC so that the disposition by any Person who is a covered person of the Company for purposes of Section 16 of the Exchange Act (“Section 16”) of Shares or other Equity Interests in the Company (including Company Options) pursuant to this Agreement shall be an exempt transaction for purposes of Section 16. The Company shall provide copies of such resolutions to Parent.

5.15 Stockholder Litigation. In the event that any litigation or claim relating to this Agreement or the Transactions (“Transaction Litigation”) is brought against the Company and/or its directors or officers, the Company shall promptly notify Parent of any such Transaction Litigation and shall keep Parent informed with respect to the status thereof. The Company shall cooperate with Parent in connection with, and shall give Parent the opportunity to participate in the defense or settlement of, any Transaction Litigation, and no settlement in connection with any Transaction Litigation shall be agreed to prior to the Effective Time without Parent’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned); provided, however, that no settlement requiring a payment or an admission of wrongdoing by a director shall be agreed without such director’s consent.

5.16 De-registration. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall cooperate with Parent and use reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and do or cause to be done all things, reasonably necessary, proper or advisable on its part under applicable Law (including the rules and regulations of NASDAQ) to cause the delisting of the Common Stock from the NASDAQ and the de-registration of the Common Stock and other securities of the Company, as applicable, under the Exchange Act as promptly as practicable after the Effective Time.

5.17 Company Indebtedness. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if requested by Parent, the Company shall, and shall cause the Company Subsidiaries to, and shall instruct and use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Company Representatives to, take all reasonable actions to (a) obtain any waivers or consents from lenders or other Persons necessary, proper or advisable in connection with any credit agreement or other agreement relating to any indebtedness of the Company or any Company Subsidiary, including with respect to any securitization program or variable funding note facility in which the Company or any Company Subsidiary participates, and/or (b) arrange for, at the Closing, the termination of any credit agreement or other agreement relating to, and the repayment of, any indebtedness of the Company or any Company Subsidiary and the procurement of customary payoff letters in connection therewith, including with respect to any securitization program or variable funding note facility in which the Company or any Company Subsidiary participates, and shall make arrangements for the release of all Liens over any property or asset of the Company and any Company Subsidiary securing obligations under any such indebtedness.

5.18 FIRPTA Affidavit. On the Closing Date, the Company shall deliver to Parent an affidavit, under penalties of perjury, stating that the Company is not and has not been a United States real property holding corporation, dated as of the Closing Date and in form and substance required under Treasury Regulations section 1.897-2(h), together with evidence reasonably satisfactory to Parent that the Company has provided notice to the Internal Revenue Service in accordance with the provisions of Treasury Regulations section 1.897-2(h)(2).

7.3 Amendment. This Agreement may be amended by the Company, Parent and Merger Sub by action taken by or on behalf of their respective boards of directors at any time prior to the Effective Time; provided, however, that, after receipt of the Company Stockholder Approval, no amendment may be made which, by Law or in accordance with the rules of any relevant stock exchange, requires the further approval of the Company’s stockholders without such further approval.

At any time prior to the Effective Time, Parent and Merger Sub, on the one hand, and the Company, on the other hand, may (a) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the other, (b) waive any breach of the representations and warranties of the other contained herein or in any document delivered pursuant hereto, and (c) waive compliance by the other with any of the covenants or conditions contained herein; provided, however, that after receipt of the Company Stockholder Approval, there may not be any extension or waiver of this Agreement which,

Laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to Laws that may be applicable under conflicts of laws principles (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the Laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware.

(b) Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Delaware Court of Chancery and any appellate court from thereof in the State of Delaware (or, if the Delaware Court of Chancery declines to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, any state or federal court within the State of Delaware and any appellate court from any thereof), in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the agreements delivered in connection herewith or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment relating thereto, and each of the parties hereby irrevocably and unconditionally (i) agrees not to commence any such action or proceeding except in such court, (ii) agrees that any claim in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such court, (iii) waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such action or proceeding in such court, and (iv) waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in such court located in Delaware. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Law. Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 8.3. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by Law.

(c) EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE IT HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY OF THE AGREEMENTS DELIVERED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY. EACH PARTY CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (I) NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE EITHER OF SUCH WAIVERS, (II) IT UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF SUCH WAIVERS, (III) IT MAKES SUCH WAIVERS VOLUNTARILY, AND (IV) IT HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 8.12(c).

8.13 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two (2) or more counterparts, and by the different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when executed shall be deemed to be an original but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. The exchange of a fully executed Agreement (in counterparts or otherwise) by facsimile or by electronic delivery in .pdf format shall be sufficient to bind the parties to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

8.14 Specific Performance.

(a) The parties agree that irreparable damage for which monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy, would occur in the event that the parties hereto do not perform the provisions of this Agreement (including failing to take such actions as are required of it hereunder in order to consummate this Agreement) in accordance with its specified terms or otherwise

breach such provisions. The parties acknowledge and agree that each party hereto shall be entitled to an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. Without limitation of the foregoing and notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the parties hereby further acknowledge and agree that prior to the Closing, the Company shall be entitled to seek specific performance to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of, and to prevent or cure breaches of, the terms and provisions of this Agreement. Each party hereto agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief on the basis that (x) the other party has an adequate remedy at law, or (y) an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or equity.

(b) The parties further agree that (x) the seeking of the remedies provided for in Section 8.14(a) shall not in any respect constitute a waiver by any party seeking such remedies of its respective right to seek any other form of relief that may be available to it under this Agreement, including under Section 7.2, in the event that this Agreement has been terminated or in the event that the remedies provided for in Section 8.14(a) are not available or otherwise are not granted, and (y) nothing set forth in this Agreement shall require a party to institute any proceeding for specific performance under Section 8.14(a) prior to or as a condition to exercising any termination right under Article 7 (and pursuing damages after such termination), nor shall the commencement of any legal proceeding pursuant to Section 8.14(a) or anything set forth in this Section 8.14(b) restrict or limit a party’s right to terminate this Agreement in accordance with the terms of Article 7 or pursue any other remedies under this Agreement that may be available then or thereafter.

8.15 Obligations of Parent and the Company. Whenever this Agreement requires Merger Sub to take any action, such requirement shall be deemed to include an undertaking on the part of Parent to cause Merger Sub to take such action.

Exhibit 2.2

VOTING AGREEMENT

This VOTING AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), is dated as of December 31, 2012, by and between the undersigned stockholder (“Stockholder”) of Zipcar, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and Avis Budget Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”).

RECITALS

WHEREAS, concurrently with or following the execution of this Agreement, the Company, Parent and Millennium Acquisition Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), have entered, or will enter, into an Agreement and Plan of Merger substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (as it may be amended from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”), providing for, among other things, the merger (the “Merger”) of Merger Sub with and into the Company pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement;

WHEREAS, as a condition to its willingness to enter into the Merger Agreement, Parent has required that Stockholder execute and deliver this Agreement; and

WHEREAS, in order to induce Parent to enter into the Merger Agreement, Stockholder is willing to make certain representations, warranties, covenants and agreements with respect to the shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company (“Company Common Stock”) beneficially owned by Stockholder and set forth below Stockholder’s signature on the signature page hereto (the “Original Shares” and, together with any additional shares of Company Common Stock pursuant to Section 7 hereof, the “Shares”).

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt, sufficiency and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1.	Definitions.

For purposes of this Agreement, capitalized terms used and not defined herein shall have the respective meanings ascribed to them in the Merger Agreement.

2.	Representations of Stockholder.

Stockholder represents and warrants to Parent that:

(a)

(i) Stockholder owns beneficially (as such term is defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) all of the Original Shares free and clear of all Liens, and (ii) except as set forth below Stockholder’s signature on the signature page hereto, there are no options, warrants or other rights, agreements, arrangements or commitments of any character to which Stockholder is a party relating to the pledge, disposition or voting of any of the Original Shares and there are no voting trusts, proxies or voting agreements with respect to the Original Shares.

(b)

Stockholder does not beneficially own any shares of Company Common Stock other than (i) the Original Shares and (ii) any options, warrants or other rights to acquire any additional shares of Company Common Stock or any security exercisable for or convertible into shares of Company Common Stock, set forth below Stockholder’s signature on the signature page hereto (collectively, “Options”).

(c)

If not a natural person, Stockholder is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of formation. If not a natural person, Stockholder has full corporate power and authority and, in all cases, Stockholder has full legal capacity, to enter into, execute and deliver this Agreement and to perform fully Stockholder’s obligations hereunder (including the voting of all Shares in accordance with Section 3). This Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by Stockholder and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of Stockholder, enforceable against Stockholder in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by principles of equity.

(d)

None of the execution and delivery of this Agreement by Stockholder, the consummation by Stockholder of the transactions contemplated hereby or compliance by Stockholder with any of the provisions hereof will conflict with or result in a breach, or constitute a default (with or without notice of lapse of time or both), under any provision of any organizational document, trust agreement, loan or credit agreement, note, bond, mortgage, indenture, lease or other agreement, instrument or Law applicable to Stockholder or to Stockholder’s property or assets (including the Shares), in each case, except for any conflict, breach or default that would not reasonably be expected to prevent or materially delay or otherwise impair the ability of Stockholder to perform its obligations hereunder or to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.

(e)

No consent, approval or authorization of, or designation, declaration or filing with, any Governmental Entity or other Person on the part of Stockholder is required in connection with the valid execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, except for any of the foregoing that would not reasonably be expected to prevent or materially delay or otherwise impair the ability of Stockholder to perform its obligations hereunder or to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. If Stockholder is a natural person, no consent of Stockholder’s spouse is necessary under any “community property” or other laws in order for Stockholder to enter into and perform its obligations under this Agreement.

(f)

There is no suit, action, proceeding, judgment, order, decree, ruling, charge, or settlement pending or, to the knowledge of Stockholder, threatened against Stockholder or any of Stockholder’s properties or assets (including the Shares) that would reasonably be expected to prevent or materially delay or otherwise impair the ability of Stockholder to perform its obligations hereunder or to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.

(g)

Stockholder has had the opportunity to review the Merger Agreement and this Agreement with counsel of Stockholder’s own choosing. Stockholder understands and acknowledges that the Merger Agreement governs the terms of the Merger and the other matters specified therein. Stockholder understands, acknowledges and agrees that Parent is entering into the Merger Agreement in reliance upon Stockholder’s execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement.

3.	Agreement to Vote Shares.

Stockholder agrees during the term of this Agreement to (i) appear (in person or by proxy) at every meeting of the stockholders of the Company and at every adjournment or postponement thereof and to cause all Shares to be counted as present thereat for purposes of calculating a quorum and (ii) vote all

Shares, and to cause any holder of record of Shares to vote all Shares, (A) in favor of the adoption of the Merger Agreement, (B) in favor of any proposal to adjourn or postpone any meeting of the stockholders of the Company to a later date if there are not sufficient votes to approve the adoption of the Merger Agreement on the date on which such meeting is held and (C) against (1) any Acquisition Proposal, (2) any action, proposal, transaction or agreement which would reasonably be expected to result in a breach of any covenant, representation or warranty or any other obligation or agreement of the Company under the Merger Agreement or of Stockholder under this Agreement and (3) any action, proposal, transaction or agreement that would reasonably be expected to impede, interfere with, delay, discourage, adversely affect or inhibit the timely consummation of the Merger or the fulfillment of Parent’s, the Company’s or Merger Sub’s conditions under the Merger Agreement or change in any manner the voting rights of any class of shares of the Company (including any amendments to the Company’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws). The obligations of Stockholder set forth in this Section 3 shall apply whether or not the adoption of the Merger Agreement or any other action described above is or continues to be recommended by the Company Board (and, for the avoidance of doubt, such obligations of Stockholder shall apply despite any Change of Company Board Recommendation or Intervening Event Change of Recommendation).

4.	No Voting Trusts or Other Arrangement.

5.	Transfer and Encumbrance.

Stockholder agrees that, during the term of this Agreement, Stockholder will not, directly or indirectly, transfer, sell, offer, exchange, assign, pledge or otherwise dispose of or encumber (“Transfer”) any of the Shares or enter into any contract, option or other agreement with respect to, or consent to, a Transfer of, any of the Shares or Stockholder’s voting or economic interest therein. Any attempted Transfer of Shares or any interest therein in violation of this Section 5 shall be null and void. This Section 5 shall not prohibit a Transfer of the Shares by Stockholder to any direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Stockholder; provided, that a Transfer referred to in this sentence shall be permitted only if, as a precondition to such Transfer, the transferee agrees in a writing, reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to Parent, to be bound by all of the terms of this Agreement.

Stockholder agrees that, during the term of this Agreement, (a) Stockholder will not, (b) if Stockholder is not a natural person, Stockholder will cause its Subsidiaries not to, and (c) Stockholder will instruct and use its reasonable best efforts to cause its (and, if Stockholder is not a natural person, its Subsidiaries’) Representatives not to, directly or indirectly (i) initiate, solicit, propose or knowingly encourage or facilitate the submission or making of any Acquisition Proposal or engage in, continue or otherwise participate in any discussions or negotiations, or furnish to any other Person information, with respect thereto, (ii) enter into any letter of intent, agreement in principle, merger agreement or other similar agreement with any person relating to an Acquisition Proposal or (iii) form or become a member of a “group” (as such term is defined under the Exchange Act) with respect to any Equity Interests of the Company for the purpose of (A) engaging in any of the foregoing activities or (B) opposing or competing

with or taking any actions inconsistent with the Transactions. Immediately following the execution and delivery of this Agreement, (1) Stockholder will, (2) if Stockholder is not a natural person, Stockholder will cause its Subsidiaries to, and (3) Stockholder will instruct and use its reasonable best efforts to cause its (and, if Stockholder is not a natural person, its Subsidiaries’) Representatives to, cease and terminate any discussions or negotiations existing as of the date of this Agreement with any Person with respect to any Acquisition Proposal. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 6 will limit or affect any actions or omissions taken by Stockholder in Stockholder’s capacity as a director or officer of the Company, including in exercising rights under the Merger Agreement (including, without limitation, under Section 5.6 thereof), and no such actions or omissions shall be deemed a breach of this Section 6.

7.	Additional Shares.

Stockholder agrees that all shares of Company Common Stock that Stockholder purchases, acquires the right to vote or otherwise acquires beneficial ownership (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) of after the execution of this Agreement shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement and shall constitute Shares for all purposes of this Agreement. Stockholder shall notify Parent promptly in writing of any additional shares of Company Common Stock acquired by Stockholder.

8.	Waiver of Appraisal and Dissenters’ Rights and Other Legal Actions.

Stockholder hereby (a) waives, and agrees not to assert or perfect, any rights of appraisal or rights to dissent from the Merger that Stockholder may have by virtue of ownership of the Shares, and (b) agrees not to commence or join in, and agrees to take all actions necessary to opt out of, any class in any class action with respect to any claim, derivative or otherwise, against Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or any of their respective successors (i) challenging the validity of, or seeking to enjoin the operation of, any provision of this Agreement or (ii) alleging breach of any fiduciary duty of any Person in connection with the negotiation and entry into the Merger Agreement.

9.	Documentation and Information.

Stockholder consents to and hereby authorizes Parent and Merger Sub to publish and disclose in all documents and schedules filed with the SEC, and any press release or other disclosure document that Parent or Merger Sub determines to be necessary in connection with the Merger and any transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, Stockholder’s identity and ownership of the Shares, the existence of this Agreement and the nature of Stockholder’s commitments and obligations under this Agreement, and Stockholder acknowledges that Parent and Merger Sub may, in Parent’s sole discretion, file this Agreement or a form hereof with the SEC or any other Governmental Entity. Stockholder agrees to promptly give Parent any information it may reasonably require relating to such Stockholder for the preparation of any such disclosure documents, and Stockholder agrees to promptly notify Parent of any required corrections with respect to any such written information supplied by it specifically for use in any such disclosure document, if and to the extent that any such information shall have become false or misleading in any material respect.

10.	Termination.

This Agreement shall terminate upon the earliest to occur of (i) the Effective Time, and (ii) the date on which the Merger Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms. Stockholder shall be entitled to terminate this Agreement by written notice to the Company in the event there is any material modification, amendment or waiver to the Merger Agreement that adversely affects the consideration payable to the stockholders of the Company after the date hereof without the prior written consent of Stockholder. Sections 10, 15 and 16 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

11.	No Agreement as Director or Officer.

This Agreement is being entered into by Stockholder solely in his, her or its capacity as the record holder and beneficial owner of the Shares, Stockholder makes no agreement or understanding in this Agreement in Stockholder’s capacity as a director or officer of the Company or any of its subsidiaries (if Stockholder holds any such office), and nothing in this Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 6 hereof): (a) will limit or affect any actions or omissions taken by Stockholder in Stockholder’s capacity as such a director or officer, including in exercising rights under the Merger Agreement (including, without limitation, pursuant to Section 5.6 thereof), and no such actions or omissions shall be deemed a breach of this Agreement, or (b) will be construed to prohibit, limit or restrict Stockholder from exercising Stockholder’s fiduciary duties as an officer or director to the Company or its stockholders (including, without limitation, pursuant to Section 5.6 of the Merger Agreement).

12.	Specific Performance.

The parties agree that irreparable damage for which monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy, would occur in the event that the parties hereto do not perform the provisions of this Agreement in accordance with its specified terms or otherwise breach such provisions. The parties acknowledge and agree that each party hereto shall be entitled to an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. Each party hereto agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief on the basis that (a) the other party has an adequate remedy at law, or (b) an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or equity. The parties further agree that (i) the seeking of the remedies provided for in this Section 12 shall not in any respect constitute a waiver by any party seeking such remedies of its respective right to seek any other form of relief that may be available to it under this Agreement in the event that this Agreement has been terminated or in the event that the remedies provided for in this Section 12 are not available or otherwise are not granted, and (ii) nothing set forth in this Agreement shall require a party to institute any proceeding for specific performance under this Section 12 prior to or as a condition to terminating this Agreement (and pursuing damages after such termination), nor shall the commencement of any legal proceeding pursuant to this Section 12 or anything set forth in this Section 12 restrict or limit a party’s right to terminate this Agreement or pursue any other remedies under this Agreement that may be available then or thereafter.

14.	Amendment; Waiver.

This Agreement may not be amended or supplemented, and no provisions hereof may be modified or waived, except by an instrument in writing signed by both of the parties hereto.

Press Release, dated January 2, 2013

Exhibit 99.1

AVIS BUDGET GROUP TO ACQUIRE ZIPCAR

FOR $12.25 PER SHARE IN CASH

•

Combined company will be the global leader in car sharing and mobility solutions.

•

Combination expected to produce $50-70 million in annual synergies.

•

Transaction targeted to close in spring 2013.

•

Avis Budget re-affirms its prior estimates of full-year 2012 results.

PARSIPPANY, N.J. and CAMBRIDGE, Mass., January 2, 2013 - Avis Budget Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: CAR) and Zipcar, Inc. (NASDAQ: ZIP), the world’s leading car sharing network, today announced that Avis Budget Group has agreed to acquire Zipcar for $12.25 per share in cash, a 49% premium over the closing price on December 31, 2012, representing a total transaction value of approximately $500 million. The transaction is subject to approval by Zipcar shareholders and other customary closing conditions, and is expected to be completed in the spring of 2013. The Boards of Directors of both companies unanimously approved the transaction, and Zipcar shareholders representing approximately 32% of the outstanding common stock have agreed to vote their shares in support of the transaction.

Car sharing has grown to be a nearly $400 million business in the United States and is expanding rapidly in major cities around the world. Zipcar has led this industry, leading in innovation and world-class service. Zipcar now has more than 760,000 members, known as Zipsters, with a market-leading presence in 20 major metropolitan areas in the United States, Canada and Europe, and fleet positioned at over 300 college and university campuses. Zipcar has combined leading-edge technology, an outstanding customer experience, and clear brand messaging to develop strong loyalty and advocacy among its customers.

“By combining with Zipcar, we will significantly increase our growth potential, both in the United States and internationally, and will position our Company to better serve a greater variety of consumer and commercial transportation needs,” said Ronald L. Nelson, Avis Budget Group chairman and chief executive officer. “We see car sharing as highly complementary to traditional car rental, with rapid growth potential and representing a scalable opportunity for us as a combined company. We expect to apply Avis Budget’s experience and efficiencies of fleet management with Zipcar’s proven, customer-friendly technology to accelerate the growth of the Zipcar brand and to provide more options for Zipsters in more places. We also expect to leverage Zipcar’s technology to expand mobility solutions under the Avis and Budget brands.”

Avis Budget expects to generate $50 to $70 million in annual synergies as a result of the transaction. In particular, Avis Budget expects significant cost reductions across the fleet life cycle (from procurement to operations and maintenance to disposition, as well as financing), in addition to savings from eliminating Zipcar’s public-company costs. Avis Budget also plans to achieve substantial cost savings by increasing fleet utilization across the two companies. Significant revenue growth opportunities exist, including by leveraging Avis Budget’s fleet to meet more of Zipsters’ weekend demand, which is currently constrained by fleet availability.

These synergies, combined with the expected growth and rising profitability of Zipcar, are expected to make the transaction accretive to Avis Budget’s earnings per share in the second year following the acquisition, excluding certain items and purchase-accounting effects.

“We are delighted to announce our intention to join the Avis Budget Group family of companies, and we believe this combination is a win across the board for our members, shareholders and employees. We will be well positioned to accelerate enhancements to the Zipcar member experience with more offers and additional services as well as an expanded network of locations,” said Scott Griffith, chairman and chief executive officer of Zipcar. “As the leading global provider of car sharing services, with a brand that is synonymous with the category, we remain committed to the values and vision that have driven us forward for many years, grounded by our passion for delivering a superior experience to every member for every trip, every day. By combining Zipcar’s expertise in on-demand mobility with Avis Budget Group’s expertise in global fleet operations and vast global network, we will be able to accelerate the revolution we began in personal mobility.”

“Avis Budget’s existing infrastructure, scale and experience with managing multiple brands make us uniquely positioned to accelerate the growth and profitability of Zipcar,” Mr. Nelson added. “At the same time, we are committed to retaining the elements of the Zipcar brand and culture that have allowed Zipcar to achieve such rapid growth and success over the last twelve years.”

Following the acquisition, Zipcar will operate as a subsidiary of Avis Budget Group and will continue with its planned move to new headquarters in Boston, Massachusetts. Avis Budget anticipates that key members of the Zipcar management team, including Mr. Griffith and Mark Norman, president and chief operating officer, will continue to set the overall direction and run day-to-day operations of Zipcar.

Avis Budget Group expects to fund the purchase price primarily with incremental corporate debt borrowings, as well as available cash. As of September 30, 2012, Avis Budget Group had cash and marketable securities of approximately $554 million, and Zipcar had cash and marketable securities of approximately $82 million, or approximately $2 per Zipcar share.

Other risks that could cause future results to differ from those expressed by the forward-looking statements included in this press release include, but are not limited to, Avis Budget’s ability to promptly and effectively integrate the businesses of Avis Europe and Avis Budget, Avis Budget’s ability to promptly and effectively integrate the businesses of Zipcar and Avis Budget (if and when the acquisition of Zipcar is completed), any change in economic conditions generally, particularly during Avis Budget’s or Zipcar’s peak season or in key market segments, the high level of competition in the vehicle rental industry, a change in fleet costs as a result of a change in the cost for new vehicles and/or the value of used vehicles, disruption in the supply of new vehicles, disposition of vehicles not covered by manufacturer repurchase programs, the financial condition of the manufacturers that supply Avis Budget’s and Zipcar’s rental vehicles which could impact their ability to perform their obligations under repurchase and/or guaranteed depreciation arrangements, any reduction in travel demand, including any reduction in airline passenger traffic, any occurrence or threat of terrorism, a significant increase in interest rates or borrowing costs, Avis Budget’s and Zipcar’s ability to obtain financing for their operations, including the funding of their vehicle fleets via the asset-backed securities market, any changes to the cost or supply of fuel, any fluctuations related to the mark-to-market of derivatives which hedge exposure to exchange rates, interest rates and fuel costs, Avis Budget’s and Zipcar’s ability to meet the financial and other covenants contained in the agreements governing their indebtedness, risks associated with litigation, regulation or governmental or regulatory inquiries or investigations involving Avis Budget or Zipcar, and Avis Budget’s and Zipcar’s ability to accurately estimate their future results and implement their strategies for cost savings and growth.

A further list and description of important assumptions and other important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements are specified in Avis Budget’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 and Zipcar’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, included under headings such as “Forward-Looking Statements”, “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”, Avis Budget’s and Zipcar’s most recently filed Form 10-Q, and in other filings and furnishings made by Avis Budget and Zipcar with the SEC from time to time. Other unknown or unpredictable factors could also have material adverse effects on Avis Budget’s or Zipcar’s performance or achievements. In light of these risks, uncertainties, assumptions and factors, the forward-looking events discussed in this press release may not occur. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date stated, or if no date is stated, as of the date of this press release. Avis Budget and Zipcar undertake no obligation to release publicly any revisions to any forward-looking statements, to report events or to report the occurrence of unanticipated events unless required by law.

Non-GAAP Measures

This press release includes certain financial measures such as Adjusted EBITDA, pretax income and diluted earnings per share, which exclude certain items under each measure and are not considered generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) measures as defined under SEC rules. For Avis Budget, Adjusted EBITDA represents income (loss) before non-vehicle related depreciation and amortization, any impairment charge, transaction-related costs, non-vehicle related interest and income taxes. Adjusted EBITDA excluding certain items represents Adjusted EBTIDA excluding restructuring-related expenses, costs related to early extinguishment of debt and other certain items as such items are not representative of the results of operations of our business. Avis Budget believes that these non-GAAP measures are useful in measuring the comparable results of Avis Budget period-over-period. The GAAP measures most directly comparable to Adjusted EBITDA, pretax income and diluted earnings per share, excluding certain items under each measure, are net income, pretax income and diluted earnings per share. Because of the forward-looking nature of Avis Budget’s forecasted non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA, pretax income and diluted earnings per share, excluding certain items, specific quantifications of the amounts that would be required to reconcile forecasted net income, pretax income and diluted earnings per share are not available. Avis Budget believes that there is a degree of volatility with respect to certain of Avis Budget’s GAAP measures which preclude it from providing accurate forecasted GAAP to non-GAAP reconciliations. Based on the above, Avis Budget believes that providing estimates of the amounts that would be required to reconcile the range of the non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA, pretax income and diluted earnings per share, excluding certain items, to forecasted net income, pretax income, and diluted earnings per share would imply a degree of precision that would be confusing or misleading to investors for the reasons identified above.

Zipcar and its directors, executive officers and certain other employees may be deemed to be participants in the solicitation of proxies of Zipcar shareholders in connection with the proposed merger. Investors and security holders may obtain more detailed information regarding the names, affiliations and interests of Zipcar directors and executive officers by reading Zipcar’s proxy statement for its 2012 annual meeting of shareholders, which was filed with the SEC on April 12, 2012. Additional information regarding potential participants in such proxy solicitation and a description of their direct and indirect interests, by security holdings or otherwise, will be included in the proxy statement and other relevant materials filed by Zipcar with the SEC in connection with the proposed merger when they become available.
