Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On May 20, 2009, NetApp, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“NetApp”), Data Domain, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Data Domain”), Kentucky Merger Sub One Corporation, a Delaware corporation and a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of NetApp (“Merger Sub One”), and Derby Merger Sub Two LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of NetApp (“Merger Sub Two” and together with Merger Sub One, the “Merger Subs”) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”). The Merger Agreement provides for the acquisition of Data Domain by NetApp by means of a merger involving one or both of the Merger Subs. As a result of the Merger, Data Domain would become a wholly-owned subsidiary of NetApp. The parties anticipate that the deal will close in 60-120 days subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory approval.

Effect of Merger on Data Domain Common Stock, Stock Options, RSUs and Restricted Stock

Upon the closing of the Merger, each outstanding share of Data Domain common stock (other than those shares with respect to which appraisal rights are properly exercised and not withdrawn) will be converted into the right to receive (a) $11.45 per share in cash, without interest (the per share amount of cash being referred to as the “Cash Consideration”), plus (b) a number of validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of NetApp common stock equal to the following exchange ratio (the “Exchange Ratio”):

          (i) 0.833 shares of NetApp common stock if the Closing Average (as defined below) is less than $16.26,

          (ii) 0.682 shares of NetApp common stock if the Closing Average is greater than $19.88, and

          (iii) that fraction of a share of NetApp common stock (rounded to the nearest ten thousandth) equal to the quotient obtained by dividing $13.55 by the Closing Average, if the Closing Average is (A) less than or equal to $19.88 and (B) greater than or equal to $16.26 (the per share amount of stock referenced in (i), (ii) or (iii) above, as applicable, being referred to as the “Stock Consideration”).

The “Closing Average” is defined as the average of the closing sales prices for NetApp common stock, rounded to the nearest one-hundredth of a cent, on NASDAQ for the ten most recent consecutive trading days ending on the third trading day immediately prior to the closing of the Merger.

In the event that the Exchange Ratio is greater than or equal to 0.750 and less than 0.833, NetApp, in its sole discretion, may (a) reduce the Stock Consideration by such amount as NetApp may determine and (b) increase the Cash Consideration by an amount equal to the product of (i) the amount of the such reduction in the Stock Consideration multiplied by (ii) the Closing Average. However, NetApp may not reduce the amount of the Stock Consideration and increase the Cash Consideration to the extent that it would reasonably be expected to cause the Merger to fail to qualify as a tax-free reorganization under the Internal Revenue Code, except as may be required as described in the paragraph below. The parties can make no assurances as to the tax-free status of the transaction.

If the aggregate amount of the Stock Consideration issuable in the Merger (including Stock Consideration issuable to holders of Data Domain options, restricted stock and restricted shares) would exceed 19.5% of the outstanding shares of NetApp common stock immediately prior to the closing of the Merger, the Stock Consideration will be decreased to the minimum extent necessary so that no more than 19.5% of the outstanding shares of NetApp common stock will be issued in the Merger (with such percentage measured immediately prior to the closing of the Merger). In such event, the Cash Consideration will be increased by an amount equal to the product of (a) the amount of the reduction in the Stock Consideration multiplied by (b) the Closing Average.

Each of Data Domain’s options to purchase common stock of Data Domain outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger will be assumed by NetApp, and, at the closing of the Merger, be converted into the right to receive NetApp stock options, based on an exchange ratio specified in the Merger Agreement.

Each of Data Domain’s restricted shares outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger will be converted into the right to receive Cash Consideration and Stock Consideration, subject to any forfeiture provisions applicable to such securities. Each of Data Domain’s restricted stock units outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger will be converted into the right to receive Cash Consideration and Stock Consideration based on a formula specified in the Merger Agreement, subject to any vesting provisions applicable to such securities.

Representations, Warranties & Covenants

The Merger Agreement contains representations, warranties and covenants of NetApp, Data Domain, Merger Sub One and Merger Sub Two, including, among others, covenants by Data Domain to:

	•		call and hold a stockholder meeting to adopt the Merger Agreement;
	•		have its board of directors recommend that Data Domain’s stockholders adopt the Merger Agreement (subject to certain exceptions);
	•		refrain from (1) soliciting proposals relating to alternative business combination transactions and (2) entering into discussions concerning, or providing confidential information in connection with, alternative business combination transactions (subject to certain exceptions); and
	•		conduct its business in the ordinary course during the period between the date of the Merger Agreement and the closing of the Merger and to refrain from certain kinds of transactions during that period.

Conditions to Closing of the Merger

The closing of the Merger is subject to customary closing conditions, including, among others:

	•		adoption of the Merger Agreement by the stockholders of Data Domain;
	•		absence of any law or order prohibiting the consummation of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement; and
	•		expiration or termination of the applicable Hart-Scott-Rodino waiting period and receipt of certain other regulatory approvals.

Termination of the Merger Agreement

Under certain circumstances in connection with the termination of the Merger Agreement, Data Domain is required to pay NetApp a break-up fee amount equal to $57,000,000 in immediately available funds.

The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement is only a summary, does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Merger Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 2.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Merger Agreement were made only for purposes of the Merger Agreement and as of specified dates, were solely for the benefit of the parties to the Merger Agreement, and may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties, including being qualified by confidential disclosures exchanged between the parties in connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement. The representations and warranties may have been made for the purposes of allocating contractual risk between the parties to the Merger Agreement instead of establishing these matters as facts, and may be subject to standards of materiality applicable to the contracting parties that differ from those applicable to investors. Investors should not rely on the representations, warranties and covenants or any descriptions thereof as characterizations of the actual state of facts or condition of Data Domain, NetApp, Merger Sub One, Merger Sub Two or any of their respective subsidiaries or affiliates. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of the representations and warranties may change after the date of the Merger Agreement, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in Data Domain’s or NetApp’s public disclosures.

Voting Agreements

In connection with the parties’ entry into the Merger Agreement, the directors and executive officers of Data Domain and their affiliates have entered into voting agreements pursuant to which they have agreed to, among other things, vote their shares of Data Domain common stock in favor of the Merger. Stockholders of Data Domain holding approximately 22.0% of the outstanding capital stock of Data Domain have agreed to vote in favor of the Merger. The parties to the Voting Agreements have agreed to comply with certain restrictions on the disposition of such shares, subject to the terms and conditions contained therein. Pursuant to their terms, such voting agreements

will terminate upon the earlier to occur of the approval of the Merger by Data Domain’s stockholders and any termination of the Merger Agreement.

The board of directors of Data Domain unanimously approved the Merger on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, as did all the members of the NetApp board of directors except for one member who was not present at the meeting.

     WHEREAS, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, it is intended that (i) if the Second Step Merger occurs, the Integrated Merger will qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and that this Agreement will be, and is hereby, adopted as a plan of reorganization within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.368-2(g) and (ii) if the Second Step Merger does not occur, the First Step Merger will be treated as a taxable transaction.

Cash Consideration shall be increased by an amount equal to the product of (A) the amount of such reduction in the Stock Consideration pursuant to the preceding sentence multiplied by (B) the Closing Average. For all purposes of and under this Agreement, the term “Merger Consideration” shall mean the Cash Consideration plus the Stock Consideration, each as adjusted by this Section 2.7(b)(i) and Section 2.7(b)(ii) together with any cash payable under Section 2.7(b)(iv) with respect to each share of Company Common Stock in lieu of a fractional share of Parent Common Stock otherwise issuable pursuant hereto.

               (ii) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, to the extent that the sum of (A) the aggregate number of shares of Parent Common Stock issuable pursuant to Section 2.7(b)(i) plus (B) the maximum number of shares of Parent Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of all Assumed Options and the vesting of all Assumed Restricted Stock Units (the sum of the amounts in clauses (A) and (B), the “Total Stock Amount”) would be equal to or greater than nineteen and one-half percent (19.5%)of the shares of Parent Common Stock outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (such amount, the “Stock Threshold”), the Stock Consideration shall be decreased to the minimum extent necessary, such that the Total Stock Amount shall not exceed the Stock Threshold. In such event, the Cash Consideration shall be increased by an amount equal to the product of (A) the amount of such reduction in the Stock Consideration pursuant to the preceding sentence multiplied by (B) the Closing Average.

               (iii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, (A) the Stock Consideration shall be adjusted appropriately to reflect fully the effect of any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend (including any dividend or distribution of securities convertible into shares of Parent Common Stock), reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification or other like change with respect to Parent Common Stock having a record date on or after the date hereof and prior to the Effective Time, and (B) the Cash Consideration and the Stock Consideration shall be adjusted appropriately to reflect fully the effect of any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend (including any dividend or distribution of securities convertible into shares of Company Common Stock), reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification or other like change with respect to Company Common Stock having a record date on or after the date hereof and prior to the Effective Time (it being understood and agreed that the inclusion of this clause (B) shall not be deemed to amend or modify the restrictions set forth in Article V).

               (iv) No fraction of a share of Parent Common Stock will be issued by virtue of the First Step Merger or pursuant to this Agreement, and in lieu thereof each holder of record of shares of Company Common Stock who would otherwise be entitled to a fraction of a share of Parent Common Stock (after aggregating all fractional shares of Parent Common Stock that otherwise would be received by such holder of record) shall be entitled to receive from Parent, upon surrender of such holder’s Certificate(s) in the manner set forth in Section 2.9, an amount of cash (rounded to the nearest whole cent), without interest, equal to the product of such fraction multiplied by the closing price of Parent Common Stock as reported on Nasdaq on the trading day immediately preceding the Closing Date, rounded to the nearest one-tenth of a cent.

               (v) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, at the Effective Time, by virtue of the First Step Merger and without any action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub One, the Company, or the holders of any shares of Company Common Stock, each share of Company Common Stock owned by Parent, any Subsidiary of Parent, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries of the Company, in each case as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be cancelled and extinguished without any conversion thereof or consideration paid therefor.

               (vi) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, all shares of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and held by a stockholder who shall have neither voted in favor of the First Step Merger nor consented thereto in writing and who shall have properly and validly exercised such stockholder’s statutory rights of appraisal in respect of such shares of Company Common Stock in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL (“Dissenting Company Shares”) shall not be converted into, or represent the right to receive, the Merger Consideration pursuant to this Section 2.7. Any such stockholder shall be entitled to receive payment of the appraised value of such Dissenting Company Shares in accordance with the provisions of Section 262 of the DGCL; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, all Dissenting Company Shares held by a stockholder who shall have failed to perfect or who shall have effectively withdrawn or lost such stockholder’s statutory right to appraisal of such Dissenting Company Shares under such Section 262 of the DGCL shall thereupon be deemed to have been converted into, and to have become exchangeable for, the right to receive the Merger Consideration, without any interest thereon, upon surrender of the certificate or certificates that formerly evidenced such shares of Company Common Stock in the manner set forth in Section 2.9. The Company shall give Parent (x) prompt notice of any written demands for appraisal received by the Company, withdrawals of such demands, and any other instruments served pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL and received by the Company in respect of Dissenting Company Shares and (y) the opportunity and right (at Parent’s election) to direct and control all negotiations and proceedings with respect to demands for appraisal under the DGCL in respect of Dissenting Company Shares. The Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of Parent or as required by an Order of a Governmental Authority of competent jurisdiction, voluntarily make any payment with respect to any demands for appraisal or settle or offer to settle any such demands for payment in respect of Dissenting Company Shares.

     2.8 Company Stock Awards.

          (a) At the Effective Time, each Company Option that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether or not then vested or exercisable (each, an “Assumed Option”), shall be assumed by Parent. In accordance with its terms and subject to the requirements of Section 422 of the Code, each Assumed Option shall (i) be converted into an option to acquire that number of shares of Parent Common Stock equal to the product obtained by multiplying (x) the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Company Option, and (y) the Option Exchange Ratio, rounded down

Execution Copy

to the nearest whole share of Parent Common Stock, and (ii) have an exercise price per share equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the per share exercise price of Company Common Stock subject to such Assumed Option, by (y) the Option Exchange Ratio (which price per share shall be rounded up to the nearest whole cent). Each Assumed Option shall otherwise be subject to the same terms and conditions (including as to vesting and exercisability) as were applicable under the respective Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time. It is the intention of the parties that each Assumed Option that qualified as an incentive stock option (as defined in Section 422 of the Code) shall continue to so qualify, to the maximum extent permissible, following the Effective Time.

          (b) At the Effective Time, each Company Restricted Stock Unit that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted by Parent in accordance with its terms into a restricted stock unit (each, an “Assumed Restricted Stock Unit”) to acquire an amount of Merger Consideration equal to the product obtained by multiplying (x) the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Company Restricted Stock Unit, and (y) the Merger Consideration. Each Assumed Restricted Stock Unit shall otherwise be subject to the same terms and conditions as were applicable under the respective Company Restricted Stock Unit immediately prior to the Effective Time, including, without limitation, that the right to receive Merger Consideration payable with respect to the Assumed Restricted Stock Unit following the Effective Time will be subject to the same vesting restrictions that were applicable to the Company Restricted Stock Unit immediately prior to the Effective Time.

          (c) The payout of the Stock Consideration and the Cash Consideration pursuant to Section 2.7(b) in exchange for shares of Company Common Stock that constitute unvested restricted stock or are otherwise subject to a right of repurchase or redemption by the Company (the “Company Restricted Stock”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be subject to the same restrictions and vesting arrangements that were applicable to such shares of unvested Company Common Stock immediately prior to or at the Effective Time, subject to the terms of the applicable agreement governing such shares.

          (d) Prior to the Closing, and subject to prior review and approval by Parent (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to take all actions necessary to effect the transactions anticipated by this Section 2.8 under all Contracts relating to Company Options, Restricted Stock Units and Company Restricted Stock including specifically obtaining any required consents and delivering all required notices.

               (ii) At or prior to the Closing, Parent shall deposit (or cause to be deposited) with the Exchange Agent, for the benefit of the holders of shares of Company Common Stock, for exchange in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Article II, the following:

                    (B) cash in an amount sufficient to pay the Cash Consideration payable pursuant to Section 2.7(b)(i); and

                    (C) cash in an amount sufficient to make all requisite payments of cash in lieu of fractional shares payable pursuant to Section 2.7(b)(iv) and any dividends or other distributions which holders of shares of Company Common Stock may be entitled pursuant to Section 2.9(c).

     All shares of Parent Common Stock and cash deposited with the Exchange Agent pursuant hereto shall hereinafter be referred to as the “Exchange Fund.” Pursuant to irrevocable instructions, the Exchange Agent shall promptly deliver the Merger Consideration from the Exchange Fund to the former Company stockholders who are entitled thereto pursuant to Section 2.7.

          (b) Exchange Procedures.

               (i) Promptly following the Effective Time, Parent and Merger Sub One shall cause the Exchange Agent to mail to each holder of record (as of immediately prior to the Effective Time) of a certificate that represented outstanding shares of Company Common Stock as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (a “Certificate”), and each holder of record of uncertificated shares of Company Common Stock represented by book-entry shares (“Book-Entry Shares”) as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, (A) a letter of transmittal in customary form (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of the Certificates to the Exchange Agent), and (B) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of Certificates (or Book-Entry Shares) in exchange for the Merger Consideration issuable and payable in respect thereof (in accordance with Section 2.7(b)) and any dividends or other distributions to which such holders is entitled to receive pursuant to Section 2.9(c).

          (ii) Upon surrender of Certificates for cancellation to the Exchange Agent (or upon receipt of an appropriate agent’s message in the case of Book-Entry Shares), together with a letter of transmittal, properly completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto, the holders of such Certificates and Book-Entry Shares shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor (A) the number of whole shares of Parent Common Stock (after taking into account all Certificates

surrendered by such holder of record) to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 2.7(b) (which, at the election of Parent, may be in uncertificated book entry form unless a physical certificate is requested by the holder of record or is otherwise required by applicable Law), (B) the cash amounts such holders are entitled to receive pursuant to Section 2.7(b), (C) the cash payable in lieu of fractional shares of Parent Common Stock such holder is entitled to receive pursuant to Section 2.7(b)(iv), and (D) any dividends or distributions to which such holders are entitled pursuant to Section 2.9(c), and any Certificates or Book-Entry Shares so surrendered shall forthwith be canceled. The Exchange Agent shall accept such Certificates and Book-Entry Shares upon compliance with such reasonable terms and conditions as the Exchange Agent may impose to effect an orderly exchange thereof in accordance with normal exchange practices. No interest shall be paid or accrued for the benefit of holders of the Certificates or Book-Entry Shares on any cash amounts payable upon the surrender of such Certificates or Book-Entry Shares pursuant to this Section 2.9. Until so surrendered, outstanding Certificates and Book-Entry Shares shall be deemed, from and after the Effective Time, to evidence only the right to receive the Merger Consideration issuable and payable in respect thereof and any dividends or distributions payable or issuable in respect thereof pursuant to Section 2.9(c). Exchange of Book-Entry Shares shall be effected in accordance with the customary procedures in respect of shares represented by book entry on the stock ledger of the Company.

          (c) Dividends and Other Distributions. No dividends or other distributions declared or made after the date hereof with respect to Parent Common Stock with a record date after the Effective Time, and no payment in lieu of fractional shares pursuant to Section 2.7(b)(iv), will be paid to the holders of any unsurrendered Certificates or Book-Entry Shares with respect to the shares of Parent Common Stock represented thereby until the holders of record of such Certificates or Book-Entry Shares shall surrender such Certificates or Book-Entry Shares in accordance with the terms of Section 2.9(b). Subject to applicable Law, promptly following the surrender of any such Certificates, the Exchange Agent shall deliver to the record holders thereof, without interest, any dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time and theretofore paid with respect to such whole shares of Parent Common Stock and, at the appropriate payment date, the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time and a payment date subsequent to such surrender payable with respect to such whole shares of Parent Common Stock.

          (d) Transfers of Ownership. In the event that shares of Parent Common Stock are to be issued in a name other than that in which the Certificates or Book-Entry Shares surrendered in exchange therefor are registered (including as a result of a transfer of ownership of shares of Company Common Stock that has not been registered in the stock transfer books or ledger of the Company), it will be a condition of the issuance of such shares of Parent Common Stock that the Certificates so surrendered, if applicable, are properly endorsed and otherwise in proper form for surrender and transfer and the Person requesting such payment has paid to Parent (or any agent designated by Parent) any transfer or other Taxes required by reason of the issuance of shares of Parent Common Stock in any name other than that of the registered holder of the Certificates or Book-Entry

Execution Copy

Shares surrendered, or established to the satisfaction of Parent (or any agent designated by Parent) that such transfer or other Taxes have been paid or are otherwise not payable.

          (e) Required Withholding. Each of the Exchange Agent, Parent and the Final Surviving Entity shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any consideration payable or otherwise deliverable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder or former holder of shares of Company Common Stock such amounts that are required to be deducted or withheld therefrom under United States federal or state, local or foreign Tax law. Parent shall timely pay the amounts withheld to the appropriate Tax authority. To the extent that such amounts are so deducted or withheld and paid out to the appropriate Tax authority, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes under this Agreement as having been paid to the Person to whom such amounts would otherwise have been paid.

          (f) No Liability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, none of the Exchange Agent, Parent, the Interim Surviving Corporation, the Final Surviving Entity or any other party hereto shall be liable to a holder of shares of Parent Common Stock or Company Common Stock for any amount properly paid to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Laws.

          (g) Termination of Exchange Fund. At the request of Parent, any portion of the Exchange Fund which remains undistributed or unclaimed on the date that is six (6) months immediately following the Effective Time shall be delivered to Parent, and any holders of the Certificates who have not theretofore surrendered Certificates in compliance with this Section 2.9 shall thereafter look only to Parent for issuance or payment of the Merger Consideration issuable and payable in respect thereto pursuant to Section 2.7(b) and issuance and payment of any dividends or other distributions payable or issuable in respect thereof pursuant to Section 2.9(c).

     2.10 No Further Ownership Rights in Company Common Stock. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.7, from and after the Effective Time, all shares of Company Common Stock shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled, retired and cease to exist, and each holder of a Certificate theretofore representing any shares of Company Common Stock shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the Merger Consideration issuable and payable in respect thereof pursuant to Section 2.7(b) and any dividends or other distributions issuable or payable in respect thereof pursuant to Section 2.9(c) upon the surrender thereof in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.9. The Merger Consideration issued or paid upon the surrender for exchange of shares of Company Common Stock in accordance with the terms hereof (including any dividends or other distributions paid or issued in respect thereof pursuant to Section 2.9(c)), shall be deemed to have been issued or paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such shares of Company Common Stock, and there shall be no further registration of transfers on the records of the Interim Surviving Corporation of shares of Company Common Stock which were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time other than transfers to reflect, in accordance with customary settlement procedures, trades effected prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates or Book-Entry Shares are presented to Parent, the Interim Surviving Corporation or the Final

Execution Copy

Surviving Entity for any reason, they shall be canceled and exchanged as provided in this Article II.

     2.11 Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. In the event that any Certificates shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, the Exchange Agent shall issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificates, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the holder thereof, the Merger Consideration that is issuable and payable in respect thereof pursuant to Section 2.7(b) and any dividends or distributions issuable or payable in respect thereof pursuant to Section 2.9(c); provided, however, that Parent and/or the Exchange Agent may, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the issuance thereof, require the owners of such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificates to deliver a bond in such sum as it may reasonably direct (consistent with market practice) as an indemnity against any claim that may be made against Parent, the Interim Surviving Corporation, the Final Surviving Entity or the Exchange Agent with respect to the Certificates alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.

     2.12 Tax Treatment. If the Second Step Merger occurs, (a) the Integrated Merger is intended to constitute a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code, and (b) Parent and the Company intend that the First Step Merger and the Second Step Merger will constitute integrated steps in a single “plan of reorganization” within the meaning of Treas. Reg. §1.368-2(g) and 1.368-3, which plan of reorganization the parties adopt by executing this Agreement. If the Second Step Merger does not occur, then the First Step Merger is intended to constitute a taxable transaction for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

     2.13 Taking of Necessary Further Action. If, at any time after the Effective Time, any further action is necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement and to vest the Interim Surviving Corporation or the Final Surviving Entity with full right, title and possession to all assets, property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of the Company and Merger Sub One, the directors and officers of the Company and Merger Sub One shall take all such lawful and necessary action. If, at any time after the effective time of the Second Step Merger, if it occurs, any further action is necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement and to vest the Final Surviving Entity with full right, title and possession to all assets, property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of the Interim Surviving Corporation and Merger Sub Two, the directors and officers of the Interim Surviving Corporation and Merger Sub Two shall take all such lawful and necessary action.

payment of a consent fee, “profit sharing” payment or other consideration, including increased rent payments or other payments under the Contract, the Company shall not make or commit to make any such payment or provide any such consideration without Parent’s prior written consent;

               (iii) making all necessary registrations, declarations and filings with Governmental Authorities in connection with this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, and obtaining all necessary actions or non-actions, waivers, clearances, consents, approvals, orders and authorizations from Governmental Authorities (including the Antitrust Approval) in connection with this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby;

               (iv) executing and delivering any additional mutually acceptable instruments mutually deemed necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated by, and to fully carry out the purposes of, this Agreement; and

               (v) assisting the other parties in (A) making all necessary registrations, declarations and filings with Governmental Authorities in connection with this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, including by providing such information regarding itself, its Affiliates and their respective operations as may be requested in connection with a filing by it or any of its Subsidiaries, (B) obtaining all necessary actions or non-actions, waivers, clearances, consents, approvals, orders and authorizations from Governmental Authorities (including the Antitrust Approval) in connection with this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, and (C) delivering any additional mutually acceptable instruments mutually deemed required to be made, obtained or delivered to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

          (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, nothing in this Section 6.2 or elsewhere in this Agreement shall be deemed to require Parent or the Company or any Subsidiary thereof to (i) litigate or otherwise contest any administrative or judicial action or proceeding that may be brought in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or (ii) agree to any divesture by itself or any of its Affiliates of shares of capital stock or of any business, assets or property, or the imposition of any limitation on the ability of any of them to conduct their business or to own or exercise control of such assets, properties and stock.

     6.3 Regulatory Filings.

          (a) Without limiting the generality of the provisions of Section 6.2 and to the extent required by applicable Laws, as promptly as practicable following the execution and delivery of this Agreement, each of Parent and the Company shall make or submit all applications, notices, petitions and filings, file or submit all documentation, and use their respective reasonable best efforts to obtain as promptly as practicable all clearances, permits, consents, approvals and authorizations of all Governmental Authorities, in each case which are necessary or advisable to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement as promptly as practicable and to comply with the terms

Execution Copy

and conditions of all such clearances, permits, consents, approvals and authorizations of all Governmental Authorities. The Company and Parent shall have the right to review in advance, and to the extent practicable each will consult the other on, in each case subject to applicable Laws and Orders, all the documentation and information relating to either party and any of its respective Subsidiaries, that appears in any application, notice, petition, filing and documentation made with, or written materials submitted to, any third party or any Governmental Authority in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. In exercising the foregoing right, each of the parties hereto shall act reasonably and as promptly as practicable. Parent and the Company shall promptly advise each other upon receiving any communication from any Governmental Authority whose clearance, consent or approval is required to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement which causes such party to believe that there is a reasonable likelihood that any clearance, consent or approval required in order to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement will not be obtained or that the receipt of any such clearance, consent or approval will be materially delayed or conditioned.

          (b) Each of Parent and the Company shall promptly (i) cooperate and coordinate with the other in the making and submitting the applications, notices, petitions and filings contemplated by this Section 6.3, (ii) subject to applicable Laws and Orders, supply the other with any information that may be required in order to effectuate such applications, notices, petitions and filings, and (iii) supply any additional information that may be required or reasonably requested by any Governmental Authority in connection with such applications, notices, petitions and filings. Subject to applicable Laws and Orders, each party hereto shall (A) promptly inform the other party hereto of any communication from any Governmental Authority regarding any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (B) permit the other party hereto the opportunity to review in advance all the information relating to Parent and its Subsidiaries or the Company and its Subsidiaries, as the case may be, that appears in any application, notice, petition or filing made with, or written materials submitted to, any third party and/or any Governmental Authority in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, (C) not participate in any substantive meeting or discussion with any Governmental Authority in respect of any filing, investigation, or inquiry concerning the transactions contemplated hereby unless and until such party has consulted with the other party, and, to the extent permitted by such Governmental Authority, gives the other party the opportunity to attend such meeting or discussion, and (D) furnish the other party with copies of all correspondences, filings, and written communications between them and their Subsidiaries and representatives, on the one hand, and any Governmental Authority or its respective staff, on the other hand, with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby. Each party hereto shall promptly inform the other party or parties hereto, as the case may be, of any communication from any Governmental Authority regarding any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. If any party hereto or Affiliate thereof receives a request for additional information or documentary material from any such Governmental Authority with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, then such party shall use its reasonable best efforts to make, or cause to be made, as soon as reasonably practicable and after consultation with the other party, an appropriate response in compliance with such request.

Execution Copy

          (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, nothing in this Section 6.3 or elsewhere in this Agreement shall be deemed to require Parent or the Company or any Subsidiary thereof to (i) litigate or otherwise contest any administrative or judicial action or proceeding that may be brought in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or (ii) agree to any divestiture by itself or any of its Affiliates of shares of capital stock or of any business, assets or property, or the imposition of any limitation on the ability of any of them to conduct their business or to own or exercise control of such assets, properties and stock.

     6.4 Anti-Takeover Laws. In the event that any state anti-takeover or other similar statute or regulation is or becomes applicable to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Company, at the direction of the Company Board, and Parent, at the direction of the Parent Board, each shall use its reasonable best efforts to provide that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement may be consummated as promptly as practicable on the terms and subject to the provisions set forth in this Agreement, and otherwise to minimize the effect of such statute or regulation on this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.

     6.5 Registration Statement; Proxy Statement/Prospectus.

          (a) As promptly as practicable after the execution and delivery of this Agreement, Parent and the Company shall prepare, and Parent shall file with the SEC, a Registration Statement on Form S-4 in connection with the issuance of shares of Parent Common Stock in the Merger (as may be amended or supplemented from time to time, the “Registration Statement”). The Registration Statement shall include (i) a prospectus for the issuance of shares of Parent Common Stock in the Merger, and (ii) a proxy statement of the Company for use in connection with the solicitation of proxies for the Merger Proposal to be considered at the Company Stockholder Meeting (as may be amended or supplemented from time to time, the “Proxy Statement/Prospectus”). Each of Parent and the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to have the Registration Statement declared effective by the SEC under the Securities Act as promptly as practicable after such filing with the SEC and to keep the Registration Statement effective through the Closing in order to consummate the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each of the Company and Parent shall, and shall cause its respective representatives to, fully cooperate with the other party hereto and its respective representatives in the preparation of the Registration Statement and the Proxy Statement/Prospectus, and shall furnish the other party hereto with all information concerning it and its Affiliates as the other party hereto may deem reasonably necessary or advisable in connection with the preparation of the Registration Statement and the Proxy Statement/Prospectus, and any amendment or supplement thereto, and each of Parent and the Company shall provide the other party hereto with a reasonable opportunity to review and comment thereon.

Execution Copy

          (b) Unless the Company Board shall have effected a Company Board Recommendation Change in compliance with the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Proxy Statement/Prospectus shall include the Company Board Recommendation.

          (c) Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement or as may be required by applicable Law or Order, neither Parent nor the Company shall effect any amendment or supplement (including by incorporation by reference) to the Proxy Statement/Prospectus or the Registration Statement without the prior consent of the other party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned); provided, however, that the Company, in connection with a Company Board Recommendation Change pursuant to and in accordance with Section 6.7, may amend or supplement the proxy statement for the Company pursuant to a Qualifying Amendment to effect such change, and in such event, the right of approval set forth in this Section 6.5(c) shall apply only with respect to such information relating to the other party or its business, financial condition or results of operations, and shall be subject to the Company’s right to have the deliberations and conclusions of the Company Board accurately described. A “Qualifying Amendment” means an amendment or supplement to the proxy statement for the Company if and solely to the extent that it contains (i) a Company Board Recommendation Change, (ii) a statement of the reasons of the Company Board for making such Company Board Recommendation Change, and (iii) additional information the Company determines, in its sole discretion, to be reasonably related to the foregoing.

          (d) The Registration Statement and the Proxy Statement/Prospectus shall comply in all material respects as to form and substance with the requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the information supplied or to be supplied by any party hereto for inclusion or incorporation by reference in the Registration Statement shall not, at the time the Registration Statement is filed with the SEC or declared effective by the SEC or at the Effective Time, 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 the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The information supplied or to be supplied by any party hereto for inclusion or incorporation by reference in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus shall not, at the time the Registration Statement is declared effective, on the date the Proxy Statement/Prospectus (or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto) is first mailed to stockholders, or at the time of the Company Stockholder Meeting, 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 the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The information supplied or to be supplied by or on behalf of either party hereto for inclusion in any filing pursuant to Rule 165 and Rule 425 under the Securities Act or Rule 14a-12 under the Exchange Act (each, a “Regulation M-A Filing”) shall not, at the time any such Regulation M-A Filing is filed with the SEC, 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 the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, prior to the Effective

Execution Copy

Time, Parent and the Company shall notify each other as promptly as practicable upon becoming aware of any event or circumstance which should be described in an amendment of, or supplement to, the Registration Statement, Proxy Statement/Prospectus or any Regulation M-A Filing so that any such document would not include any misstatement of material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading, and as promptly as practicable thereafter, an appropriate amendment or supplement describing such information shall be promptly filed with the SEC and, to the extent required by applicable Law or the SEC, disseminated to the stockholders of Parent and/or the Company. Parent and the Company shall each notify the other as promptly as practicable after the receipt by it of any written or oral comments of the SEC or its staff on, or of any written or oral request by the SEC or its staff for amendments or supplements to, the Registration Statement, the Proxy Statement/Prospectus or any Regulation M-A Filing, and shall promptly supply the other with copies of all correspondence between it or any of its representatives and the SEC or its staff with respect to any of the foregoing filings. Prior to filing the Registration Statement or mailing the Proxy Statement/Prospectus to stockholders (or filing or mailing any amendment thereof or supplement thereto), each of Parent and the Company, as the case may be, (i) shall provide the other party with a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such document or response, (ii) shall include in such document or response all comments reasonably and timely proposed by such other party and (iii) shall not file or mail such document or respond to the SEC prior to receiving such other party’s approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

          (e) Parent and the Company shall make any necessary filings with respect to the Merger under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act. In addition, prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall use reasonable best efforts to obtain all regulatory approvals needed to ensure that the Parent Common Stock to be issued in the Merger will be registered (to the extent required), qualified or exempt from registration or qualification under any applicable federal or state securities or Blue Sky Laws.

     6.6 Company Stockholder Meeting.

          (a) The Company shall establish a record date for, call, give notice of, convene, hold, and take a vote of stockholders on the adoption of this Agreement in accordance with the DGCL (the “Merger Proposal”) at a meeting of the Company’s stockholders (the “Company Stockholder Meeting”) as promptly as practicable following the date hereof (which shall be within forty five (45) days following the date on which the Proxy Statement/Prospectus is first disseminated to Company’s stockholders unless Parent shall otherwise consent to a different date). The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to solicit proxies from the Company’s stockholders and, unless the Company Board has effected a Company Board Recommendation Change pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of Section 6.7, the Company Board shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain the Requisite Merger Approval at the Company Stockholder Meeting or any postponement or adjournment thereof.

Execution Copy

for a vote any matters (including any Acquisition Proposals or Acquisition Transactions) at the Company Stockholder Meeting (or an adjournment of the Company Stockholder Meeting, if permitted hereunder) other than the Merger Proposal without the prior written consent of Parent. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, the Company shall submit this Agreement to the Company’s stockholders for approval at the Company Stockholder Meeting, and the Company’s obligations under this Section 6.6 shall not be terminated, superseded, limited, modified or otherwise affected by the commencement, disclosure, announcement or submission to the Company of any Acquisition Proposal or Acquisition Transaction, or by any Company Board Recommendation Change (whether or not in compliance with the terms hereof). For the avoidance of doubt, the Company shall not be required to hold the Company Stockholder Meeting if this Agreement is validly terminated in accordance with Section 8.1.

          (b) The Company shall not establish a record date for, call, give notice of, convene or hold any meeting of the Company’s stockholders unless and until the Company Stockholder Meeting has been held, a vote of the Company’s stockholders has been taken on the Merger Proposal and the Company Stockholder Meeting has been adjourned; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, the Company may establish a record date for, call, give notice of, convene and hold its annual meeting of stockholders for 2009 (the “Annual Meeting”) and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to hold the Annual Meeting within thirteen (13) calendar months from the date of its annual meeting of stockholders for 2008. At the Annual Meeting, (x) the Company may submit to a vote of its stockholders (i) the election of directors to the Company Board and (ii) the ratification of its independent public accounting firm, and (y) the Company shall not propose for consideration or submit for a vote any matters other than those set forth in the previous sentence and such other matters which the Company is legally required to submit to a vote of its stockholders at the Annual Meeting. Parent and the Company shall cooperate in good faith to determine whether the Merger Proposal shall be considered at the Annual Meeting in lieu of a special meeting, and in such event, the terms and provisions of Section 6.6(a) shall be qualified by the terms and provisions of this Section 6.6(b).

          (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, the Company may adjourn or postpone the Company Stockholder Meeting solely (i) if as of the time for which the Company Stockholder Meeting is originally scheduled (as set forth in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus) there are insufficient shares of Company Common Stock represented (either in person or by proxy) to constitute a quorum necessary to conduct the business of the Company Stockholder Meeting, (ii) for up to ten (10) Business Days, if the Company Board shall have determined in good faith (after consultation with its outside legal counsel) that it is necessary or appropriate to postpone or adjourn the Company Stockholder Meeting in order to (A) give Company Stockholder sufficient time to evaluate any information or disclosure that the Company has sent to Company Stockholders or otherwise made available to Company Stockholders by issuing a press release, filing materials with the SEC or otherwise (including in connection with any Company Board Recommendation Change) or (B) to enable the additional time to solicit proxies from Company Stockholders, (iii) if the Company is required to postpone or

adjourn the Company Stockholder Meeting by applicable Law, Order or a request from the SEC or its staff, or (iv) with the prior written consent of Parent.

     6.7 Company Board Recommendation.

          (a) Subject to the terms of this Section 6.7, the Company Board shall recommend that the Company’s stockholders adopt this Agreement in accordance with the applicable provisions of the DGCL (the “Company Board Recommendation”) at the Company Stockholder Meeting. Neither the Company Board nor any committee thereof shall (x) withhold, withdraw, amend or modify, or publicly propose to withhold, withdraw, amend or modify the Company Board Recommendation or (y) approve, endorse or recommend, or publicly propose to approve, endorse or recommend any Acquisition Proposal or agreement pursuant to which an Acquisition Transaction would be consummated (any of the actions referred to in the preceding clauses (x) and (y) being a “Company Board Recommendation Change”); provided, however that a “stop, look and listen” communication by the Company Board to the Company Stockholders pursuant to Rule 14d-9(f) of the Exchange Act shall not be deemed to be a Company Board Recommendation Change if it is accompanied by a statement of the Company Board expressly and publicly reaffirming the Company Board Recommendation in connection with such statement or disclosure.

          (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing terms of this Section 6.7, at any time prior to receipt of the Requisite Merger Approval, the Company Board may effect a Company Board Recommendation Change (and disclose to the Company Stockholders that the Company Board has effected a Company Board Recommendation Change) if the conditions set forth below have been satisfied prior to effecting such Company Board Recommendation Change:

               (i) the Company Board shall have received an unsolicited Acquisition Proposal (which has not been withdrawn) in writing after the date hereof;

               (ii) none of the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective Representatives shall have breached or violated in any material respect the terms of Section 6.1 in connection with such Acquisition Proposal or in connection with any other Acquisition Proposal made or submitted by any Person (or any Affiliate or agent thereof) making such Acquisition Proposal;

               (iii) the Company Board shall have determined in good faith (after consultation with its financial advisor and its outside legal counsel) that (A) such Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal and (B) in light of such Superior Proposal, the failure to make a Company Board Recommendation Change is reasonably likely to be a breach of its fiduciary duties to the Company’s stockholders under Delaware Law;

               (iv) the Company Board shall have given Parent at least five (5) Business Days prior written notice (1) of the identity of the Person(s) making such Superior Proposal

Execution Copy

and all of the material terms and conditions of such Superior Proposal (and if such Superior Proposal is in written form, a copy of such Superior Proposal and all related agreements, commitment letters and other material documents provided or otherwise furnished by the Person(s) making such Superior Proposal in connection therewith) (it being agreed that in the event that, after commencement of such five (5) Business Day period, there is any material revision to the terms of a Superior Proposal, including any revision in price, the five (5) Business Day period shall be extended to ensure that at least five (5) Business Days remains in such period subsequent to the time the Company notifies Parent of any such material revision), and (2) that the Company Board intends to effect a Company Board Recommendation Change in response to such Superior Proposal and the opportunity to meet with the Company Board and the Company’s financial advisors and outside legal counsel at such times as Parent may reasonably request for the purpose of enabling Parent and the Company to discuss in good faith this Agreement and the terms and conditions hereof, and any modifications of the terms and conditions of this Agreement that Parent may propose in response thereto; and

               (v) after the foregoing five (5) Business Day period and any extensions thereof and, if requested by Parent, meetings with Parent and its financial advisors and legal counsel during such period, (A) Parent shall not have made a proposal at least as favorable or more favorable to the Company’s stockholders as such Acquisition Proposal and (B) the Company Board shall have determined in good faith (after consultation with its financial advisor its outside legal counsel) that (1) such Acquisition Proposal continues to constitute a Superior Proposal, and (2) in light of such Superior Proposal and after good faith consideration of all proposals by Parent, the failure to effect such Company Board Recommendation Change is reasonably likely to be a breach of its fiduciary duties to the Company’s stockholders under Delaware Law.

          (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing terms of this Section 6.7, at any time prior to receipt of the Requisite Merger Approval, the Company Board may effect a Company Board Recommendation Change (and disclose to the Company Stockholders that the Company Board has effected a Company Board Recommendation Change) for a reason unrelated to an Acquisition Proposal (it being understood and agreed that any Company Board Recommendation Change proposed to be made in relation to an Acquisition Proposal may only be made pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of Section 6.7(b)) if the conditions set forth below have been satisfied prior to effecting such Company Board Recommendation Change:

               (i) the Company Board shall have determined in good faith (after consultation with its outside legal counsel) that the failure to make a Company Board Recommendation Change is reasonably likely to be a breach of its fiduciary duties to the Company’s stockholders under Delaware Law;

               (ii) the Company Board shall have given Parent at least five (5) Business Days prior written notice that the Company Board intends to effect such Company Board Recommendation Change and the opportunity to meet with the Company Board and the Company’s financial advisors and outside legal counsel at such times as Parent may reasonably request for the purpose of enabling Parent and the Company to

Execution Copy

discuss in good faith (A) the Company Board’s basis and rationale for proposing to effect such Company Board Recommendation Change, and/or (B) possible modifications of the terms and conditions of this Agreement in such a manner that would obviate the need for the Company Board to effect such Company Board Recommendation Change; and

               (iii) after the foregoing five (5) Business Day period and, if requested by Parent, meetings with Parent and its financial advisors and legal counsel during such period, the Company Board shall have determined in good faith (after consultation with its outside legal counsel), that the failure to effect such Company Board Recommendation Change is reasonably likely to be a breach of its fiduciary duties to the Company’s stockholders under Delaware Law.

          (d) Nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit the Company Board from taking and disclosing to the Company’s stockholders a position contemplated by Rule 14e-2(a) under the Exchange Act or complying with the provisions of Rule 14d-9 promulgated under the Exchange Act; provided, however, that (i) any such statement or other disclosure shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including the provisions of Article VIII, and (ii) any such statement or disclosure (other than a “stop, look and listen communication” of the type contemplated by Rule 14d-9(f) under the Exchange Act, and within the time period contemplated by Rule 14d-9(f)(3)) shall be deemed to be a Company Board Recommendation Change unless it is accompanied by a statement of the Company Board expressly and publicly reaffirming the Company Board Recommendation in connection with such statement or disclosure.

     6.8 Access; Notice and Consultation.

          (a) Subject to any restrictions imposed under applicable Laws, at all times during the period commencing with the execution and delivery of this Agreement and continuing until the earlier to occur of the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Article VIII and the Effective Time, the Company shall afford Parent and its accountants, legal counsel and other representatives reasonable access at reasonable times and during normal business hours, upon reasonable notice, to any assets, properties, contracts, books, records and personnel of the Company and its Subsidiaries as Parent may reasonably request. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company and its Subsidiaries shall not be required to provide access to or disclose information where such access or disclosure would reasonably be likely to jeopardize any attorney-client privilege, work product doctrine or other applicable privilege applicable to such documents or information of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; provided, however, that in such circumstances the parties shall use reasonable best efforts to make appropriate substitute disclosure arrangements that would not so jeopardize such privilege; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 6.8(a) or elsewhere in this Agreement shall be construed to require the Company or its Representatives to prepare any reports, analyses, appraisals, opinions or other information. Any investigation conducted pursuant to the access contemplated by this Section 6.8(a) shall be conducted in a manner that does not unreasonably interfere with the conduct of the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries or create a risk of damage or destruction to any property or assets of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

Execution Copy

          (b) Subject to any restrictions imposed under applicable Laws, at times during the period commencing with the execution and delivery of this Agreement and continuing until the earlier to occur of the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Article VIII and the Effective Time, Parent shall make available its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer to discuss Parent’s business and operations with the executive officers of the Company at reasonable times and upon reasonable request and notice from the Company.

          (c) At all times during the period commencing with the execution and delivery of this Agreement and continuing until the earlier to occur of the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Article VIII and the Effective Time, each of Parent and the Company shall promptly notify the other upon obtaining Knowledge that any representation or warranty made by such party in this Agreement has become untrue or inaccurate in any material respect or that such party has breached or failed to comply with or satisfy in any material respect any covenant, condition or agreement to be complied with or satisfied by such party under this Agreement.

          (d) At all times during the period commencing with the execution and delivery of this Agreement and continuing until the earlier to occur of the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Article VIII and the Effective Time, the Company shall promptly advise Parent in writing of any litigation commenced after the date hereof against the Company or any of its directors or executive officers by any Company’s stockholders (on their own behalf or on behalf of the Company) relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby and shall keep Parent reasonably informed regarding any such litigation. The Company shall give Parent the opportunity to consult with the Company regarding the defense or settlement of any such stockholder litigation and shall consider Parent’s views with respect to such stockholder litigation.

          (e) At all times during the period commencing with the execution and delivery of this Agreement and continuing until the earlier to occur of the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Article VIII and the Effective Time, the Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, make available to Parent a copy of each annual and quarterly report on 10-K or 10-Q (as applicable), and each registration statement and other document, proposed to be filed by the Company with the SEC during such period a reasonable period of time prior to the filing of such reports or registration statements (and in any event, at least two (2) Business Days prior to the filing thereof with the SEC).

          (f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, no information obtained pursuant to the access granted or notification provided pursuant to this Section 6.8 shall be deemed to (i) amend or otherwise modify in any respect any representation or warranty of the party hereto providing such access or notice, (ii) impair or otherwise prejudice in any manner rights of the party receiving such access or notice to rely upon the conditions to the obligations of such party to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or (iii) impair or otherwise limit the remedies available to the party receiving such access or notice. The terms and conditions

Execution Copy

of the Confidentiality Agreement shall apply to any information acquired or provided pursuant to this Section 6.8.

     6.9 Confidentiality. Parent, Merger Sub One, Merger Sub Two and the Company hereby acknowledge that Parent and the Company have previously executed a Mutual Nondisclosure Agreement, dated as of May 7, 2009 (the “Confidentiality Agreement”), which will continue in full force and effect in accordance with its terms.

     6.10 Public Disclosure. Except with regard to any press releases or public statements made or proposed to be made by the Company pursuant to Section 6.7, each of Parent and the Company shall consult with the other before issuing any press release or making any public announcement or statement with respect to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, and shall not issue any such press release or make any such public announcement or statement without the prior written consent of the other party hereto, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned; provided, however, that either Parent or the Company may, without the prior consent of the other party hereto, issue any such press release or make any such public announcement or statement as may be required by Law or the rules and regulations of the Nasdaq if such party first notifies and (if practicable) consults with the other regarding the timing and substance of such public announcement or statement.

     6.11 Employee Matters.

          (a) From and after the enrollment of Designated Employees in the employee benefit plans, programs and policies of Parent, Parent shall provide the Designated Employees with substantially similar types and levels of benefits as those provided to similarly situated employees of Parent. Effective as of the day immediately preceding the Closing Date, each of the Company and any ERISA Affiliate shall terminate any and all Employee Plans intended to include a Code Section 401(k) arrangement (each, a “401(k) Plan”) (unless Parent provides written notice to the Company that such 401(k) Plans shall not be terminated). Unless Parent provides such written notice to the Company, no later than five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall provide Parent with evidence that such Employee Plan(s) have been terminated (effective as of the day immediately preceding the Closing Date) pursuant to resolutions of the Company Board or such Affiliate, as the case may be. The form and substance of such resolutions shall be subject to the reasonable review and approval of Parent. The Company also shall take such other actions reasonably necessary in furtherance of terminating such Employee Plan(s) as Parent may reasonably require. In the event that termination of a 401(k) Plan would reasonably be anticipated to trigger liquidation charges, surrender charges or other fees then the Company shall take such actions as are necessary to reasonably estimate the amount of such charges and/or fees and provide such estimate in writing to Parent no later than fifteen (15) calendar days prior to the Closing Date. If, in accordance with this Section 6.11, Parent requests in writing that the Company not terminate any 401(k) Plan, the Company shall take such actions as Parent may reasonably require in furtherance of the assumption of any such 401(k) Plan by Parent, including by adopting such amendments as Parent may deem necessary or advisable in

Execution Copy

connection with such assumption, provided, however, Parent provides written notice to the Company of such actions (identifying each action) no later than three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date.

          (b) From and after the Effective Time, and to the extent permitted by applicable Law, Parent shall, or shall cause the Final Surviving Entity to, recognize the prior service with the Company or its Subsidiaries of each Designated Employee in connection with all employee benefit plans, programs or policies of Parent or its Affiliates in which Designated Employees are eligible to participate following the Effective Time for purposes of eligibility and vesting and determination of level of benefits (but not for purposes of benefit accruals under any defined benefit pension plan or to the extent that such recognition would result in duplication of benefits). From and after the Effective Time, Parent shall, or shall cause the Final Surviving Entity to, (i) cause any pre-existing conditions or limitations and eligibility waiting periods under any group health plans of Parent or its Affiliates to be waived with respect to Designated Employees and their eligible dependents to the extent such Designated Employees and their eligible dependents were not subject to such preexisting conditions and limitations and eligibility waiting periods under the comparable Employee Plans as of the time immediately preceding the Closing, and (ii) provide each Designated Employee with credit for any deductibles paid under any Employee Plan that provides medical, dental or vision benefits in the plan year in effect as of the Closing Date in satisfying any applicable deductible or out of pocket requirements under any medical, dental or vision plans of Parent, the Final Surviving Entity or its Subsidiaries that such employees are eligible to participate in after the Effective Time to the same extent that such expenses were recognized under the comparable Employee Plan.

          (d) The obligations under this Section 6.12 shall not be terminated, amended or otherwise modified in such a manner as to adversely affect any Indemnified Party or any other person who is a beneficiary under the D&O Insurance or the “tail” policy referred to in Section 6.12(c) (and their heirs and representatives) without the prior written consent of such Person.

None of Parent, Merger Sub One, Merger Sub Two or the Company shall, and they shall not permit any of their respective Subsidiaries to, take any action (other than actions specifically contemplated by this Agreement) prior to or following the Effective Time that would reasonably be expected to cause the Integrated Merger to fail to qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code. Each of Parent, Merger Sub One, Merger Sub Two shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain the opinion of Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati, Professional Corporation, counsel to Parent, and the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain the opinion of Fenwick & West LLP, counsel to the Company, each dated as of the Effective Time and each to the effect that the Integrated Merger will qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code.

               (v) after the foregoing five (5) Business Day period and any extensions and, if requested by Parent, meetings with Parent and its financial advisors and legal counsel during such period, (1) Parent shall not have made a proposal at least as favorable or more favorable to the Company’s stockholders as such Acquisition Proposal, (2) the Company Board shall have determined in good faith (after consultation with its financial advisor and its outside legal counsel) that (A) such Acquisition Proposal continues to constitute a Superior Proposal, and (B) in light of such Superior Proposal and after good faith consideration of all proposals by Parent, the failure to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1(h) is reasonably likely to be a breach of its fiduciary duties to the Company’s stockholders under Delaware Law; and

     8.2 Notice of Termination; Effect of Termination. Any proper termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1 shall be effective immediately upon the delivery of written notice of the terminating party to the other party or parties hereto, as applicable.

          (d) Enforcement. Each of Parent and the Company acknowledges and hereby agrees that the provisions of Section 8.3 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and that, without such provisions, neither Parent nor the Company would have entered into this Agreement. Accordingly, if the Company shall fail to pay in a timely manner any amounts due and payable pursuant to Section 8.3, and, in order to obtain such payment, Parent shall make a claim against the Company and such claim results in a judgment against the Company, the Company shall pay to Parent an amount in cash equal to Parent’s costs and expenses (including its attorneys fees and expenses) incurred in connection with such claim, together with interest at the prime rate of Citibank N.A. in effect on the date such payment was required to be made.

Exhibit A

FORM OF VOTING AGREEMENT

     THIS VOTING AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of May 20, 2009 by and between NetApp, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), and the undersigned Stockholder (the “Stockholder”) of Data Domain, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”).

WITNESSETH:

     WHEREAS, Parent, Kentucky Merger Sub One Corporation, a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub One”), Derby Merger Sub Two LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub Two”), and the Company have entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger of even date herewith (the “Merger Agreement”), which provides for, among other things, the merger of Merger Sub One with and into the Company (the “First Step Merger” or the “Merger”), pursuant to which all outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company will be converted into the right to receive the consideration set forth in the Merger Agreement. If the opinions described in Section 6.18 of the Merger Agreement are delivered, as soon as practicable following the First Step Merger and as a single integrated transaction, Parent will cause the Company to merge with and into Merger Sub Two with Merger Sub Two continuing as the surviving entity (the “Second Step Merger” ; provided that, if the Second Step Merger does occurs, the Second Step Merger shall be included in the meaning of the term, the “Merger”).

     WHEREAS, the Stockholder is the beneficial owner (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) of that number of shares of the outstanding capital stock of the Company, and the holder of options to purchase such number of shares of capital stock of the Company, in each case, as set forth on the signature page of this Agreement.

     WHEREAS, as a condition and inducement to the willingness of Parent, Merger Sub One and Merger Sub Two to enter into the Merger Agreement, the Stockholder (in the Stockholder’s capacity as such) has agreed to enter into this Agreement.

     NOW, THEREFORE, intending to be legally bound, the parties hereto agree as follows:

     1. Certain Definitions. All capitalized terms that are used but not defined herein shall have the respective meanings ascribed to them in the Merger Agreement. For all purposes of and under this Agreement, the following terms shall have the following respective meanings:

          (a) “Expiration Date” shall mean the earlier to occur of (i) such date and time as the Merger Agreement shall have been validly terminated pursuant to Article VIII thereof, or (ii) such date and time as the Requisite Merger Approval has been obtained or (iii) the written agreement of the parties hereto to terminate this Agreement.

          (b) “Person” shall mean any individual, corporation, limited liability company, general or limited partnership, trust, unincorporated association or other entity of any kind or nature, or any governmental authority.

          (c) “Shares” shall mean (i) all equity securities of the Company (including all shares of Company Common Stock, Company Preferred Stock and all Company Stock Awards and any other rights to acquire shares of Company capital stock) owned by the Stockholder as of the date hereof, and (ii) all additional equity securities of the Company (including all additional shares of Company Common Stock, Company Preferred Stock and all additional Company Stock Awards, warrants and other rights to acquire shares of Company capital stock) of which the Stockholder acquires beneficial ownership during the period from the date of this Agreement through the Expiration Date (including by way of stock dividend or distribution, split-up, recapitalization, combination, exchange of shares and the like).

          (d) “Transfer” A Person shall be deemed to have effected a “Transfer” of a Share if such person directly or indirectly (i) sells, pledges, encumbers, assigns, grants an option with respect to, transfers, tenders or disposes of such Share or any interest in such Share, or (ii) enters into an agreement to effect any of the foregoing.

     2. Transfer of Shares.

          (a) Transfer Restrictions. The Stockholder shall not Transfer (or cause or permit the Transfer of ) any of the Shares, or enter into any agreement relating thereto, except (i) by selling already-owned Shares either to pay the exercise price upon the exercise of a Company Option or to satisfy the Stockholder’s tax withholding obligation upon the exercise of a Company Option, in each case as permitted by any Company Option Plan, or (ii) by selling already-owned Shares pursuant to 10b5-1 trading plans existing as of the date hereof or (iii) transferring Shares to Affiliates, immediate family members, a trust established for the benefit of Stockholder and/or for the benefit of one or more members of the Stockholder’s immediate family or upon the death of the Stockholder or charitable organizations or in connection with, or solely for the purpose of, personal tax-planning, provided that, as a condition to such Transfer, the recipient agrees to be bound by this Agreement and delivers a Proxy (as defined below) in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A. Any Transfer, or purported Transfer, of Shares in breach or violation of this Agreement shall be void and of no force or effect.

          (b) Transfer of Voting Rights. The Stockholder shall not deposit (or cause or permit the deposit of) any Shares in a voting trust or grant any proxy or enter into any voting agreement or similar agreement in contravention of the obligations of the Stockholder under this Agreement with respect to any of the Shares.

     3. Agreement to Vote Shares.

          (a) At every meeting of the stockholders of the Company, and at every adjournment or postponement thereof, and on every action or approval by written consent of the stockholders of Company, the Stockholder (in the Stockholder’s capacity as such), to the extent not voted by the Person(s) appointed under the Proxy, shall, or shall cause the holder of record on any applicable record date to, vote the Shares:

               (i) in favor of the adoption of the Merger Agreement, and in favor of each of the other actions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and any action required in furtherance thereof;

               (ii) against approval of any proposal made in opposition to, in competition with, or would result in a breach of, the Merger Agreement or the Merger or any other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement; and

               (iii) against any of the following actions (other than those actions that relate to the Merger and any other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement): (A) any merger, consolidation, business combination, sale of assets, reorganization or recapitalization of or involving the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, (B) any sale, lease or transfer of any significant part of the assets of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, (C) any reorganization, recapitalization, dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, (D) any material change in the capitalization of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or the corporate structure of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or (E) any other action that is intended, or could reasonably be expected to, impede, interfere with, delay, postpone, discourage or adversely affect the Merger or any other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement.

          (b) In the event that a meeting of the Stockholders of the Company is held, the Stockholder shall, or shall cause the holder of record on any applicable record date to, appear at such meeting or otherwise cause the Shares to be counted as present thereat for purposes of establishing a quorum.

          (c) The Stockholder shall not enter into any agreement or understanding with any Person to vote or give instructions in any manner inconsistent with the terms of this Section 3.

     4. Agreement Not to Exercise Appraisal Rights. The Stockholder shall not exercise, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, any statutory rights (including, without limitation, under Section 262 of the DGCL) to demand appraisal of any Shares that may arise in connection with the Merger.

     5. Directors and Officers. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, nothing in this Agreement shall limit or restrict a Stockholder who is a director or officer of the Company from acting in such capacity or voting, in his capacity as a director or officer of the Company, in the Stockholder’s sole discretion on any matter (it being understood that this Agreement shall apply to the Stockholder solely in the Stockholder’s capacity as a Stockholder of the Company). In this regard, the Stockholder shall not be deemed to make any agreement or understanding in this Agreement in Stockholder’s capacity as a director or officer of the Company.

     6. Irrevocable Proxy. Concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, the Stockholder shall deliver to Parent a proxy in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Proxy”), which shall be irrevocable to the fullest extent permissible by law, with respect to the Shares.

     7. Representations and Warranties of the Stockholder.

          (a) Power; Binding Agreement. The Stockholder has full power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and the Proxy, to perform the Stockholder’s obligations hereunder and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Stockholder, and, assuming this Agreement constitutes a valid and

binding obligation of Parent, Merger Sub One and Merger Sub Two, constitutes a valid and binding obligation of the Stockholder, enforceable against the Stockholder in accordance with its terms.

          (b) No Conflicts. None of the execution and delivery by the Stockholder of this Agreement, the performance by the Stockholder of its obligations hereunder or the consummation by the Stockholder of the transactions contemplated hereby will (i) result in a violation or breach of any agreement to which the Stockholder is a party or by which the Stockholder may be bound, including any voting agreement or voting trust, or (ii) violate any order, writ, injunction, decree, judgment, order, statute, rule, or regulation applicable to the Stockholder.

          (c) Ownership of Shares. The Stockholder (i) is the sole beneficial owner of the shares of Company Common Stock set forth on the signature page of this Agreement, all of which are free and clear of any liens, security interests, pledges or options, proxies or any other rights or encumbrances whatsoever (“Encumbrances”) (other than pursuant to the terms of restricted stock agreements as in effect on the date hereof and except any Encumbrances arising under securities laws or arising hereunder), (ii) is the sole holder of Company Options that are exercisable for the number of shares of Company Common Stock set forth on the signature page of this Agreement, all of which Company Options and shares of Company Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of such Company Options are, or in the case of Company Common Stock received upon exercise of an option after the date hereof will be, free and clear of any Encumbrances (except any Encumbrances arising under securities laws or arising hereunder), and (iii) except as set forth on the signature page to this Agreement, does not own, beneficially or otherwise, any securities of the Company other than the shares of Company Common Stock or options to purchase shares of Company Common Stock, and shares of Company Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of such Company Options, set forth on the signature page of this Agreement.

          (d) Voting Power. The Stockholder has or will have sole voting power, sole power of disposition, sole power to issue instructions with respect to the matters set forth herein, and sole power to agree to all of the matters set forth in this Agreement, in each case with respect to all of the Shares, with no limitations, qualifications or restrictions on such rights, subject to applicable federal securities laws and the terms of this Agreement.

          (e) Reliance by Parent. The Stockholder understands and acknowledges that Parent is entering into the Merger Agreement in reliance upon the Stockholder’s execution and delivery of this Agreement.

          (f) No Legal Actions. Stockholder agrees that Stockholder will not in Stockholder’s capacity as a Stockholder of the Company bring, commence, institute, maintain, prosecute or voluntarily aid any action, claim, suit or cause of action, in law or in equity, in any court or before any governmental entity, which (i) challenges the validity of or seeks to enjoin the operation of any provision of this Agreement or (ii) alleges that the execution and delivery of this Agreement by Stockholder, either alone or together with the other Company voting agreements and proxies to be delivered in connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement, or the approval of the Merger Agreement by the Company Board, breaches any fiduciary duty of the Company Board or any member thereof.

     8. Certain Restrictions. The Stockholder shall not, directly or indirectly, take any action that would make any representation or warranty of the Stockholder contained herein untrue or incorrect.

     9. Disclosure. The Stockholder shall permit Parent to publish and disclose in all documents and schedules filed with the SEC, and any press release or other disclosure document that Parent determines to be necessary or desirable in connection with the Merger and any transactions related to the Merger, the Stockholder’s identity and ownership of Shares and the nature of the Stockholder’s commitments, arrangements and understandings under this Agreement.

Exhibit 99.2

FOR IMMEDIATE DISTRIBUTION

NETAPP TO ACQUIRE DATA DOMAIN

     Sunnyvale, Calif. and Santa Clara, Calif. – May 20, 2009—NetApp (NASDAQ:NTAP) and Data Domain (NASDAQ:DDUP) announced today they have entered into a definitive agreement under which NetApp will acquire all of the outstanding shares of Data Domain common stock for $25 per share in cash and stock. The transaction is valued at approximately $1.5B, net of Data Domain’s cash.

     “This combination is a great opportunity for both NetApp and Data Domain,” said Dan Warmenhoven, chairman and CEO of NetApp. “Data Domain is an innovative high-growth company with a complementary product line ideally suited for multi-vendor environments where customers want to minimize their use of tape for backup. NetApp has the distribution channels and international reach to offer Data Domain products to more customers, accelerating growth and market adoption. The combination of our two companies will increase NetApp’s reputation for delivering both outstanding efficiency and operational breakthroughs to customers worldwide.”

     Customers will benefit from the robust worldwide sales, support, partner, and service network NetApp can bring to Data Domain products, further enabling customers to deploy Data Domain products on a global basis. NetApp and Data Domain channel partners will benefit from the inclusion of the innovative Data Domain product line into the NetApp Partner Program.

     NetApp intends to operate Data Domain as a product line within NetApp’s product operations organization. The Data Domain sales organization will be integrated with NetApp sales to maximize momentum and access new accounts.

     “Our objective will be to amplify Data Domain’s success, grow Data Domain’s revenues as quickly as today’s economy will allow, and create systems and incentives within NetApp to nurture Data Domain to its fullest potential,” added Warmenhoven. “We will focus on new customer acquisition and maximum market share expansion. Their existing customers should see the benefits of NetApp’s broader scale and support capabilities.”

     “Notwithstanding the rapid record sales growth Data Domain has experienced over the past 5 years, with NetApp’s distribution channel and customer base, we have an opportunity to accelerate even further,” said Frank Slootman, president and CEO of Data Domain.

Portfolio Synergy

     The Data Domain portfolio brings a complementary offering to NetApp, expanding NetApp’s reach in the market for heterogeneous disk-based backup. Today, NetApp’s heterogeneous backup offering (with its VTL product line) provides installations with disk-based solutions to augment their tape backup infrastructure. Data Domain’s portfolio will extend NetApp’s ability to compete in the increasing number of installations wanting to minimize their reliance on tape. The Data Domain acquisition increases NetApp’s ability to capitalize on the growth of disk-based backup adoption, a trend accelerated by the economics of deduplication.

Transaction Details

     The Board of Directors of Data Domain has unanimously approved the transaction. We anticipate that the deal will close in 60-120 days subject to customary closing conditions including regulatory approval.

     More details on this transaction will be available on NetApp’s quarterly results conference call which will be broadcast live on the Internet at http://investors.netapp.com on Wednesday, May 20, 2009, at 2:00 p.m. Pacific Time. The conference call will also be

available live in a listen-only format at (800) 638-4930 in the United States and (617) 614-3944 outside the United States. The pass code for both numbers is 57400475. A replay will be available for 72 hours following the completion of the live call by dialing (888) 286-8010 in the United States and (617) 801-6888 outside the United States, using replay code 92143343.
