Certain terms used in this Agreement are used as defined in Section 9.11.

WHEREAS, Parent, Merger Sub and the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of March 23, 2008 (the “Original Merger Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other things, Parent would acquire the Company following the Spin-Off by means of a merger transaction, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Original Merger Agreement;

WHEREAS, Parent, Merger Sub and the Company desire to amend, and to restate, the Original Merger Agreement to, among other things, provide for the Offer referred to below, as set forth herein;

WHEREAS, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, Merger Sub has agreed to commence a tender offer (such tender offer, as it may be amended and supplemented from time to time as permitted under this Agreement, the “Offer”) to purchase all outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company (together with the Company Rights issued pursuant to the Company Rights Agreement, the “Company Common Stock”), at a price per share of Company Common Stock to be determined in accordance with Section 1.1(g), in cash without interest (such price, or any higher price as may be paid in the Offer in accordance with this Agreement, the “Offer Price”), subject to any applicable withholding of Taxes;

WHEREAS, following the consummation of the Offer, the parties intend that Merger Sub will be merged with and into the Company (the “Merger”), with the Company surviving the Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent in accordance with the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”), and each share of Company Common Stock that is not tendered and accepted pursuant to the Offer, except for certain shares of Company Common Stock as provided in Section 3.1, will thereupon be cancelled and converted into the right to receive cash in an amount equal to the Offer Price, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein;

WHEREAS, the Company Board has unanimously (a) determined that the Offer and the Merger, are advisable, fair to and in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders, (b) adopted resolutions approving this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, including the Offer and the Merger, and (c) subject to the terms set forth herein, adopted resolutions recommending that the stockholders of the Company accept the Offer, tender their Company Common Stock pursuant to the Offer, and, if required by applicable Law, adopt this Agreement;

WHEREAS, the respective boards of directors of Parent and Merger Sub have approved this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, including the Offer and the Merger;

WHEREAS, simultaneously with the execution and delivery of this Agreement and as a condition and inducement to the willingness of Parent and Merger Sub to enter into this Agreement, Parent and certain stockholders of the Company are entering into an amended and restated support agreement substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Support Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other things, such stockholders have agreed to tender their shares of Company Common Stock pursuant to the Offer and, to the extent required, vote to adopt this Agreement and to take certain other actions in furtherance of the Offer and the Merger, in each case, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein; and

WHEREAS, in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, the parties shall execute and deliver the Spin-Off Agreements and, prior to the later of (a) the Initial Expiration Date and (b) the latest Extended Expiration Date, if any, preceding the Acceptance Time, the Company shall, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Spin-Off Agreements, (i) cause the Restructuring to occur and (b) following the completion of the Restructuring, effect the Spin-Off or the Trust Transfer.

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

THE OFFER

SECTION 1.1 The Offer.

(a) Provided that (i) none of the events set forth in paragraphs (b), (d) and (e) of Annex I to this Agreement shall have occurred and be existing, (ii) the Company shall have complied with its obligations under Section 1.3(c) and Section 1.3(d) and (iii) this Agreement shall not have previously been validly terminated in accordance with Section 8.1, as promptly as reasonably practicable, but in no event later than five (5) business days (as defined in Rule 14d-1(g)(3) promulgated under the Exchange Act) after the date of this Agreement, Parent shall cause Merger Sub to, and Merger Sub shall, commence (within the meaning of Rule 14d-2 promulgated under the Exchange Act) the Offer for all of the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock (other than shares of Company Common Stock described in Section 3.1(b)) for a price per share of Company Common Stock equal to the Offer Price (as adjusted as provided in Section 1.1(f)). The date on which Merger Sub commences the Offer, within the meaning of Rule 14d-2 promulgated under the Exchange Act, is referred to in this Agreement as the “Offer Commencement Date.”

(b) Subject to Section 1.1(d), as promptly as practicable on the later of: (i) the earliest date as of which Merger Sub is permitted under applicable Law to accept for payment shares of Company Common Stock tendered pursuant to the Offer and (ii) the earliest date as of

which each of the conditions set forth in Annex I (the “Offer Conditions”) shall have been satisfied or waived, Merger Sub shall (and Parent shall cause Merger Sub to), accept for payment all shares of Company Common Stock tendered pursuant to the Offer (and not validly withdrawn). Subject to the immediately preceding sentence, the obligation of Merger Sub to accept for payment shares of Company Common Stock tendered pursuant to the Offer shall be subject only to the satisfaction or waiver by Merger Sub of each of the Offer Conditions (and shall not be subject to any other conditions). Promptly after the acceptance for payment of any shares of Company Common Stock tendered pursuant to the Offer, Merger Sub shall pay for such shares of Company Common Stock.

(c) Parent and Merger Sub expressly reserve the right to increase the Offer Price, waive any Offer Condition or amend, modify or supplement any of the Offer Conditions or terms of the Offer; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, neither Parent nor Merger Sub shall (without the prior written consent of the Company):

(i) decrease the number of shares of Company Common Stock sought to be purchased by Merger Sub in the Offer;

(ii) reduce the Offer Price;

(iii) extend or otherwise change the expiration date of the Offer (except to the extent permitted or required pursuant to Section 1.1(d));

(iv) change the form of consideration payable in the Offer;

(v) amend, modify or supplement any of the Offer Conditions or terms of the Offer in a manner that adversely affects, or would reasonably be expected to adversely affect, the holders of shares of Company Common Stock; or

(vi) amend or waive the Minimum Condition (as defined in Annex I).

(d) Unless extended as provided in this Agreement, the Offer shall expire on the date (the “Initial Expiration Date”) that is twenty (20) business days (calculated as set forth in Rule 14d-1(g)(3) promulgated under the Exchange Act ) after the Offer Commencement Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) Merger Sub shall extend the Offer for any period required by any rule, regulation, interpretation or position of the SEC or its staff, the NYSE or The Nasdaq Global Market (“Nasdaq”) that is applicable to the Offer; provided, that in no event shall Merger Sub be required to extend the Offer beyond the Walk-Away Date, (ii) Merger Sub may, in its sole discretion and regardless of whether the Minimum Condition has been satisfied, extend the Offer for one period of no more ten (10) business days; provided, that in no event shall Merger Sub extend the Offer beyond the Walk-Away Date, (iii) if, on the Initial Expiration Date, the Minimum Condition is not satisfied, then, to the extent requested in writing by the Company no less than two (2) business days prior to the Initial Expiration Date, Merger Sub shall extend the Offer for one period of no more than ten (10) business days, (iv) if, on the Initial Expiration Date or any subsequent date as of which the Offer is scheduled to expire (an “Extended Expiration Date”), as applicable, (A) any Offer Condition is not satisfied or waived and this Agreement has not been terminated in accordance with its terms, Merger Sub may, in its discretion, extend the

Offer for one or more periods of no more than ten (10) business days each until the date on which the Offer Conditions are satisfied or waived or (B) the Minimum Condition has been satisfied but the Spin-Off or the Trust Transfer has not been completed, Merger Sub shall extend the Offer from time to time for one or more periods until the earliest of (1) the date on which the Spin-Off or the Trust Transfer has been completed and (2) September 30, 2008, and (v) Merger Sub may, in its discretion, elect to provide for a subsequent offering period (and one or more extensions thereof) in accordance with Rule 14d-11 promulgated under the Exchange Act following the first time that Merger Sub accepts for payment any shares of Company Common Stock tendered pursuant to the Offer (the “Acceptance Time”), and, if immediately following the Acceptance Time, Parent, Merger Sub and their respective Subsidiaries own less than ninety percent (90%) of the shares of Company Common Stock outstanding at that time (which shares beneficially owned shall include shares tendered in the Offer and not withdrawn), to the extent reasonably requested by the Company, Merger Sub shall provide for a subsequent offering period of at least ten (10) business days. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and the Offer, Parent shall cause Merger Sub to, and Merger Sub shall, accept for payment and pay for all shares of Company Common Stock validly tendered and not withdrawn during such subsequent offering period as promptly as practicable after any such shares of Company Common Stock are tendered during such subsequent offering period and in any event in compliance with Rule 14e-1(c) promulgated under the Exchange Act. Without the prior written consent of the Company, neither Parent nor Merger Sub shall accept for payment or pay for any shares of Company Common Stock in the Offer if, as a result, Parent and Merger Sub would acquire less than the number of shares of Company Common Stock necessary to satisfy the Minimum Condition.

(e) The Offer may be terminated prior to its expiration date (as such expiration date may be extended and re-extended in accordance with this Agreement), but only if this Agreement is validly terminated in accordance with Section 8.1.

(f) The Offer Price shall be adjusted to the extent appropriate to reflect the effect of any stock split, division or subdivision of shares, stock dividend, reverse stock split, consolidation of shares, reclassification, recapitalization or other similar transaction with respect to shares of Company Common Stock occurring or having a record date on or after the date of this Agreement and prior to the payment by Merger Sub for the shares of Company Common Stock; provided that this subsection (f) shall not affect or supersede the provisions of Section 6.2(b)(i) hereof.

(g) The aggregate Offer Price to be paid by Parent and Merger Sub in the Offer for all issued and outstanding shares of Company Common Stock shall be equal to, and not exceed, $310,000,000. On or prior to the Offer Commencement Date, Parent and the Company shall cooperate and mutually agree in good faith on (i) the calculation for determining the per share Offer Price, (ii) the actual per share Offer Price resulting from such calculation and (iii) whether and how any adjustment mechanism will be applied to such calculation.

SECTION 1.2 Actions of Parent and Merger Sub.

(a) On the Offer Commencement Date, Parent and Merger Sub shall: (i) cause to be filed with the SEC a Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO with respect to the Offer,

(b) Parent and Merger Sub shall cause the Offer Documents to (i) comply in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and (ii) not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, however, that no covenant is made by Parent or Merger Sub with respect to information supplied by or on behalf of the Company for inclusion or incorporation by reference in the Offer Documents.

(c) The Company and its counsel shall be given a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on the Offer Documents (including any amendment or supplement thereto) prior to the filing thereof with the SEC.

(e) Parent shall cause to be provided to Merger Sub all of the funds necessary to purchase any shares of Company Common Stock that Merger Sub or the Surviving Corporation becomes obligated to purchase or pay for pursuant to the Offer or the Merger, and shall cause Merger Sub and the Surviving Corporation to perform, on a timely basis, all of their respective obligations under this Agreement.

SECTION 1.3 Actions by the Company.

(a) The Company hereby approves of and consents to the Offer and represents that the board of directors of the Company (the “Company Board”), at a meeting duly called and held, unanimously duly adopted resolutions (i) approving and declaring the advisability of this Agreement, (ii) approving this Agreement and the Transactions (such approval having been

made in accordance with the DGCL, including for purposes of Section 203 thereof), (iii) determining this Agreement and the Transactions to be advisable, fair to and in the best interests of the Company and the stockholders of the Company (the “Company Stockholders”) and (iv) recommending that, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, the Company Stockholders accept the Offer, tender their shares of Company Common Stock pursuant to the Offer and, if required by applicable Law, adopt this Agreement and the Transactions (the “Company Board Recommendation”); provided, however, that the Company Board may withdraw, modify or amend the Company Board Recommendation as provided by Section 6.3(e). The Company hereby consents to the inclusion in the Offer Documents of the Company Board Recommendation to the extent such Company Board Recommendation is not withheld or withdrawn in accordance with Section 6.3(e). The Company also represents and warrants that (A) the Company Board has received the Fairness Opinion of Imperial Capital, dated the date of this Agreement, to the effect that, as of such date, and subject to the various assumptions and qualifications set forth therein, the consideration to be received by the Company Stockholders in the Offer and the Merger is fair to such holders from a financial point of view and (B) the Company has obtained or will timely obtain all necessary consents (including the authorization of Imperial Capital) to permit the inclusion of such opinion in its entirety and references thereto in the Offer Documents, together with a description of the material financial analyses underlying such opinion, in the Schedule 14D-9 and any proxy statement or information statement relating to the Merger (as amended, supplemented or modified, the “Proxy/Information Statement”), subject to prior review and consent by Imperial Capital (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed). The Company has been advised by each of its directors and executive officers that each such person intends to tender all shares of Company Common Stock owned by such person pursuant to the Offer and that the Offer Documents may so state.

(b) On the Offer Commencement Date, the Company shall file with the SEC and contemporaneously with the initial dissemination of the Offer Documents to holders of Company Common Stock disseminate to holders of Company Common Stock a Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9 (together with any amendments or supplements thereto, the “Schedule 14D-9”) that, subject to Section 6.3(e), shall contain the Company Board Recommendation. Parent and its counsel shall be given a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on the Schedule 14D-9 (including any amendment or supplement thereto) prior to the filing thereof with the SEC. The Company shall: (i) as promptly as reasonably practicable provide Parent and its counsel with a copy of any written comments and a description of any oral comments received by the Company (or its counsel) from the SEC or its staff with respect to the Schedule 14D-9, (ii) give Parent and its counsel a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on any response formulated in connection with such comments prior to the filing thereof with the SEC and (iii) respond promptly to any such comments. The Company agrees that the Schedule 14D-9 shall comply in all material respects with the requirements of the Exchange Act and, on the date filed with the SEC and on the date first published, sent or given to the Company Stockholders, shall not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, that no covenant is made by the Company with respect to information supplied by or on behalf of Parent or Merger Sub for inclusion or incorporation by reference in the Schedule 14D-9. To the extent required by the applicable requirements of the Exchange Act: (A) each of Parent, Merger Sub and the Company shall promptly correct any information

provided by it for use in the Schedule 14D-9 if such information shall have become false or misleading in any material respect and (B) the Company shall take all steps necessary to cause the Schedule 14D-9, as supplemented or amended to correct such information, to be filed with the SEC and, if required, to be disseminated to holders of Company Common Stock. Parent and Merger Sub shall promptly furnish to the Company all information concerning Parent or Merger Sub that may be reasonably requested in connection with any action contemplated by this Section 1.3(b). To the extent requested by the Company, Parent shall cause the Schedule 14D-9 to be mailed or otherwise disseminated to the Company Stockholders together with the Offer Documents disseminated to the Company Stockholders.

(c) In connection with the Offer, the Company shall instruct its transfer agent to furnish to Merger Sub a list, as of the most recent practicable date, of the record holders of shares of Company Common Stock and their addresses, as well as mailing labels containing such names and addresses. The Company will furnish Merger Sub with such additional information (including any security position listings in the Company’s possession or reasonably obtainable by the Company) and assistance as Merger Sub may reasonably request for purposes of communicating the Offer to the record holders and beneficial holders of shares of Company Common Stock. All information furnished in accordance with this Section 1.3(c) shall be held in confidence by Parent and Merger Sub in accordance with the requirements of the Confidentiality Agreement, and shall be used by Parent and Merger Sub only in connection with the communication of the Offer and the dissemination of any Proxy/Information Statement relating to the Merger to the holders of shares of Company Common Stock.

(d) The Company shall as promptly as reasonably practicable furnish to Parent and Merger Sub all information concerning the Company that may be required by applicable securities Laws or reasonably requested by Parent or Merger Sub for inclusion in the Schedule TO and the Offer Documents.

SECTION 1.4 Board of Directors.

(a) After the Acceptance Time, and at all times thereafter, the Company will, upon Parent’s request and subject to compliance with applicable Law, take all actions reasonably necessary to cause persons designated by Parent to become directors of the Company so that the total number of such persons equals that number of directors, rounded up to the next whole number, determined by multiplying: (i) the total number of directors on the Company Board (after giving effect to the directors elected or designated by Parent in accordance with this Section 1.4(a)) by (ii) the percentage that the number of shares of Company Common Stock beneficially owned by Parent, Merger Sub or any of their respective Affiliates bears to the total number of shares of Company Common Stock outstanding at the Acceptance Time. The Company will take all actions reasonably necessary to permit Parent’s designees to be elected to the Company Board in accordance with this Section 1.4(a), including using commercially reasonable efforts to secure the resignation of directors, promptly filling vacancies or newly created directorships on the Company Board, increasing the size of the Company Board, and/or amending the Company’s bylaws; provided, however, that prior to the Effective Time, the Company Board shall always have at least three (3) Continuing Directors. Notwithstanding the proviso to the preceding sentence, at all times from the election of Parent’s designees in accordance with this Section 1.4(a) through the Effective Time, Parent’s designees shall

constitute a majority of the Company Board. The Company shall, upon Parent’s request following the Acceptance Time, and at all times thereafter, also cause persons designated by Parent to constitute the same percentage (rounded up to the next whole number) as is on the Company Board of (i) each committee of the Company Board, (ii) each board of directors (or similar body) of each Subsidiary and (iii) each committee (or similar body) of each such board, in each case, to the extent permitted by applicable Law and the rules of Nasdaq. For purposes of this Section 1.4(a), any and all members of the Company Board immediately prior to the Acceptance Time who remain on the Company Board after such designation by Parent pursuant to this Section 1.4(a) shall be referred to as “Continuing Directors.”

(b) In the event that Parent’s designees are elected or appointed to the Company Board pursuant to Section 1.4(a) hereof, until the Effective Time, the Company Board shall have at least such number of directors as may be required by the rules of Nasdaq or the federal securities Laws who are considered independent directors within the meaning of such rules and Laws (“Independent Directors”); provided, however, that in such event, if the number of Independent Directors shall be reduced below the number of directors as may be required by such rules or securities Laws for any reason whatsoever, the remaining Independent Director(s) shall be entitled to designate persons to fill such vacancies who shall be deemed to be Independent Directors for purposes of this Agreement or, if no other Independent Director then remains, the other directors shall designate such number of directors as may be required by the rules of Nasdaq and the federal securities Laws, to fill such vacancies who shall not be stockholders or Affiliates of Parent or Merger Sub, and such Persons shall be deemed to be Independent Directors for purposes of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 1.4(b), at all times from the election of Parent’s designees in accordance with Section 1.4(a) through the Effective Time, Parent’s designees shall constitute a majority of the Company Board.

(c) The Company’s obligation to cause Parent’s designees to be elected or appointed to the Company Board shall be subject to Section 14(f) of the Exchange Act and Rule 14f-1 thereunder. The Company shall promptly take all actions, and shall include in the Schedule 14D-9 such information with respect to the Company and its officers and directors, as Section 14(f) of the Exchange Act and Rule 14f-1 thereunder require in order to fulfill its obligations under this Section 1.4, so long as Parent shall have timely provided to the Company all information with respect to Parent and its designees, officers, directors and Affiliates required by Section 14(f) of the Exchange Act and Rule 14f-1 thereunder. Parent shall promptly supply to the Company in writing, and shall be solely responsible for, all such information.

SECTION 1.5 Actions by Directors. Following the election or appointment of Parent’s designees to the Company Board pursuant to Section 1.4(a), and until the Effective Time, the approval of a majority of the Continuing Directors shall be required to authorize: (a) any amendment to or termination of this Agreement by the Company; (b) any amendment to the Company Charter Documents or Subsidiary Documents; (c) any extension of time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of Parent or Merger Sub; (d) any enforcement or waiver of compliance with any covenant of Parent or Merger Sub or any condition to any obligation of the Company or any exercise, enforcement or waiver of any right of the Company under this Agreement; and (e) any other consent or action by the Company or the Company Board with respect to this Agreement or any of the Transactions. The authorization of any such

matter described above by a majority of the Continuing Directors shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, constitute the authorization of such matter by the Company Board, and no other action on the part of the Company or any other director of the Company shall be required to authorize such matter.

SECTION 1.6 Top Up Option.

(a) The Company hereby grants to Merger Sub an option, for so long as this Agreement has not been terminated pursuant to Section 8.1 and subject to the terms of this Section 1.6 (the “Top Up Option”), to purchase from the Company up to a number of newly-issued shares of Company Common Stock (such number of shares of Company Common Stock, the “Top Up Amount”) that, when added to the number of shares of Company Common Stock owned by Parent, Merger Sub and their respective Subsidiaries at the time of exercise of the Top Up Option, constitutes one (1) share of Company Common Stock more than ninety percent (90%) of the number of shares of Company Common Stock that would be outstanding immediately after the issuance of all shares of Company Common Stock issued pursuant to the Top Up Option; provided, however, that the Top Up Option shall not be exercisable unless (i) immediately prior to such exercise, Parent, Merger Sub and their respective Subsidiaries own at least a majority of the shares of Company Common Stock then outstanding on a fully diluted basis as a result of the consummation of the Offer in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and (ii) immediately after such exercise Merger Sub would own more than ninety percent (90%) of the shares of Company Common Stock then outstanding.

(b) Subject to there being no statute, rule or regulation having been enacted or promulgated by any Governmental Authority which prohibits the consummation of the Merger and there being no applicable Law (including the rules and regulations of Nasdaq) or any order or injunction of a court of competent jurisdiction in effect preventing exercise of the Top Up Option or consummation of the Merger, Merger Sub may, in its sole discretion, exercise the Top Up Option, in whole but not in part, at any one time after the occurrence of a Top Up Exercise Event and prior to the tenth (10th) Business Day after the later of the Initial Expiration Date or the Extended Expiration Date, as applicable. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Top Up Exercise Event” shall occur if (i) the Acceptance Time shall have occurred and (ii) the Company has a number of authorized but unissued shares of Company Common Stock at least equal to the Top Up Amount (excluding shares reserved for issuance pursuant to outstanding Company Stock Options under Company Stock Option Plans). The aggregate purchase price payable for the shares of Company Common Stock being purchased by Merger Sub pursuant to the Top Up Option shall be payable, at the option of Parent, either in cash or by delivery of a promissory note having a principal amount equal to such aggregate purchase price. The aggregate amount payable to the Company in respect of the shares of Company Common Stock being purchased by Merger Sub pursuant to the Top Up Option shall be determined by multiplying the number of such shares of Company Common Stock by the Offer Price.

(c) In the event that Merger Sub wishes to exercise the Top Up Option, Merger Sub shall deliver to the Company a notice setting forth (i) the number of shares of Company Common Stock that Merger Sub intends to purchase pursuant to the Top Up Option, (ii) the place and time at which the closing of the purchase of such shares of Company Common Stock by Merger Sub is to take place and (iii) the form of payment for the purchase of such

shares of Company Common Stock, as elected by Merger Sub in accordance with Section 1.6(b). At the closing of the purchase of such shares of Company Common Stock, Merger Sub shall cause to be delivered to the Company the consideration required to be delivered in exchange for such shares of Company Common Stock, and the Company shall cause to be issued to Merger Sub a certificate representing such shares of Company Common Stock. The closing of the purchase of the shares of Company Common Stock issuable pursuant to Merger Sub’s exercise of the Top Up Option shall occur within three (3) Business Days following the notice delivered by Merger Sub in accordance with this Section 1.6(c).

SECTION 1.7 Short Form Merger. If, after consummation of the Offer and any exercise of the Top Up Option, the number of shares of Company Common Stock beneficially owned by Parent, Merger Sub or any other Affiliates of Parent collectively represent at least ninety percent (90%) of the then outstanding shares of Company Common Stock, Parent shall cause Merger Sub to, and the Company shall execute and deliver such documents and instruments and take such other actions as Parent or Merger Sub may reasonably request, in order to cause the Merger to be completed as promptly as practicable as provided in Section 253 of the DGCL, and otherwise as provided in Articles II and III below.

(b) Cancellation of Treasury Stock and Parent-Owned Stock. Any shares of Company Common Stock that are owned by the Company as treasury stock, and any shares of Company Common Stock owned by Parent or Merger Sub shall be automatically cancelled and shall cease to exist and no consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor.

(c) Conversion of Company Common Stock. Each share of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than shares to be cancelled in accordance with Section 3.1(b) and Dissenting Shares) shall be cancelled and converted into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to the Offer Price (the “Merger Consideration”).

SECTION 3.2 Payment of Merger Consideration; Stock Transfer Books.

(a) Letter of Transmittal. As soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time, a bank or trust company to be designated by Parent (the “Exchange Agent”) shall mail to each holder of record of shares of Company Common Stock immediately prior to the Effective Time (excluding any shares of Company Common Stock to be cancelled pursuant to Section 3.1(b) or Dissenting Shares) (i) a letter of transmittal (the “Letter of Transmittal”) which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of such Certificates to the Exchange Agent and shall be in such form and have such other provisions as Parent shall reasonably specify and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates in exchange for the Merger Consideration with respect to the shares of Company Common Stock formerly represented thereby.

(b) Deposit of Merger Consideration. Promptly after the Effective Time, Parent shall deposit with the Exchange Agent, for the benefit of the holders of shares of Company Common Stock for exchange in accordance with this Article III, cash in an amount sufficient to pay the aggregate Merger Consideration (the “Exchange Fund”).

(c) Surrender of Certificates. Upon surrender of a Certificate to the Exchange Agent, together with the Letter of Transmittal, duly executed, and such other documents as Parent or the Exchange Agent shall reasonably request, the holder of such Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor a certified or bank cashier’s check in the amount equal to the aggregate amount of the Merger Consideration.

(d) Rules Governing Exchange. Parent, in consultation with the Company prior to the Effective Time, shall have the right to make reasonable rules, not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement, governing the validity of Letters of Transmittal and the payment of the Merger Consideration.

for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate, the Merger Consideration to which such holder would be entitled pursuant to this Agreement.

(f) Termination of Fund. Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains undistributed to the holders of the Certificates for one hundred eighty (180) days after the Effective Time shall be delivered to Parent, upon demand, and any holders of Certificates who have not theretofore complied with this Article III shall thereafter look only to Parent for payment of their claim for the Merger Consideration. If any Certificate shall not have been surrendered immediately prior to such date on which any Merger Consideration would otherwise escheat to or become property of any Governmental Authority, any such Merger Consideration shall become, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, the property of Parent, free and clear of all claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.

(g) No Liability. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, none of the parties hereto, the Surviving Corporation or the Exchange Agent shall be liable to any Person in respect of cash from the Exchange Agent delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law.

To the extent amounts are so withheld and paid over to the appropriate Governmental Authority, Parent and the Exchange Agent shall be treated as though they withheld from the type of consideration from which withholding is required an appropriate amount otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder of shares of Company Common Stock in order to provide for such withholding obligation and such withheld amounts shall be treated for the purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the former holder of the shares of Company Common Stock.

Holders of Company Stock Options shall be given the opportunity to exercise their Company Stock Options, whether

or not vested, effective on or immediately prior to the Spin-Off Record Date, and thereby to become stockholders of the Company as of the Spin-Off Record Date, entitled to receive the Offer Price for each share of Company Common Stock as provided pursuant to Section 1.1(b) or the Merger Consideration for each share of Company Common Stock as provided pursuant to Section 3.1(c), as the case may be, and, for Company Stock Options exercised prior to the Spin-Off Record Date, the distribution of Newco shares in connection with the Spin-Off.

(c) In connection with the termination of the Company Stock Option Plans, as of the Effective Time, no holder of Company Stock Options, or any participant in or beneficiary of the Company Stock Option Plans, will have any right to acquire or receive any equity securities of the Surviving Corporation, any Subsidiary thereof, or any consideration other than as contemplated pursuant to this Section 3.3, Section 1.1(b) or Section 3.1(c).

(d) All outstanding shares of Company Common Stock that are subject to a Contract or other arrangement pursuant to which the Company has the right to repurchase, redeem or otherwise reacquire such shares of Company Common Stock, including by forfeiture (the “Company Restricted Stock”), shall become fully vested on or immediately prior to the Spin-Off Record Date and the holders thereof shall thereby become entitled to receive the Offer Price for each share of Company Common Stock as provided pursuant to Section 1.1(b) or the Merger Consideration for each share of Company Common Stock as provided pursuant to Section 3.1(c), as the case may be. The vesting of all Company Restricted Stock pursuant to this Section 3.3(d) shall be net of all applicable withholding Taxes.

SECTION 3.4 Appraisal Rights.

(a) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, shares of Company Common Stock that are issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and are held by a stockholder who is entitled to demand and properly demands appraisal of such shares pursuant to, and who complies in all respects with, the provisions of Section 262 of the DGCL (the “Dissenting Stockholders”) shall not be converted into or be exchangeable for the right to receive the Merger Consideration (the “Dissenting Shares”), but instead such holder shall

be entitled to payment of the appraised value of such shares of Company Common Stock as may be determined to be due to such Dissenting Stockholder pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL (and at the Effective Time, such Dissenting Shares shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled and cease to exist, and such Dissenting Stockholder shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the appraised value of such Dissenting Shares in accordance with the provisions of Section 262 of the DGCL), unless and until such holder shall have failed to perfect or shall have effectively withdrawn or lost rights to appraisal under the DGCL.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Dissenting Stockholder shall have failed to perfect or shall have effectively withdrawn or lost such right to seek payment of the appraised value of such Dissenting Shares, such Dissenting Stockholder’s shares of Company Common Stock shall thereupon be treated as if they had been converted into and become exchangeable for the right to receive, as of the Effective Time, the Merger Consideration, in accordance with Section 3.1(c), without any interest thereon. Parent shall promptly deposit with the Exchange Agent any additional funds necessary to pay in full the Merger Consideration so due and payable to such Dissenting Stockholders who have failed to perfect or who shall have effectively withdrawn or lost such right to seek payment of the appraisal value of such Dissenting Shares.

(c) The Company shall provide Parent (i) prompt notice of any written demands for appraisal of any shares of Company Common Stock, attempted withdrawals of such demands and any other instruments served pursuant to the DGCL and received by the Company and (ii) the opportunity to direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to the exercise of appraisal rights under the DGCL. The Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of Parent or as otherwise required by applicable Law, make any payment with respect to any such exercise of appraisal rights or offer to settle or settle any such rights.

None of the Company’s Subsidiaries is required to file periodic reports with the SEC pursuant to the Exchange Act. As of their respective effective dates (in the case of Company SEC Documents that are registration statements filed pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act) and as of their respective SEC filing dates (in the case of all other Company SEC Documents), the Company SEC Documents complied in all material respects with the requirements of the Exchange Act or the Securities Act, as the case may be, applicable to such Company SEC Documents, and none of the Company SEC Documents as of such respective dates contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. Except to the extent that information contained in any Company SEC Document has been reviewed or superseded by a later-filed Company SEC Document, none of the Company SEC Documents contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. As of the date of this Agreement, there are no outstanding or unresolved comments received from the SEC staff with respect to the Company SEC Documents.

(b) The consolidated financial statements of the Company included in the Company SEC Documents comply as to form in all material respects with applicable accounting requirements and the published rules and regulations of the SEC with respect thereto as of their respective dates, have been prepared in accordance with GAAP (except, in the case of unaudited quarterly statements, as permitted by the rules and regulations of the SEC) applied on a consistent basis during the periods involved (except as may be indicated in the notes thereto) and fairly present in all material respects the consolidated financial position of the Company and its consolidated Subsidiaries as of the dates thereof and the consolidated results of their operations and cash flows for the periods then ended (subject, in the case of unaudited quarterly statements, to normal year-end audit adjustments, none of which has been or will be, individually or in the aggregate, material to the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, with respect to each Annual Report on Form 10-K and each Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q included in the Company SEC Documents, the financial statements and other financial information included in such reports fairly present (within the meaning of the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act of 2002 (the “Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act”)) in all material respects

the financial condition and results of operations of the Company as of, and for, the periods presented in such Company SEC Documents.

(c) The Company has established and maintains internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures (as such terms are defined in Rule 13a-15 and Rule 15d-15 under the Exchange Act); such disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that material information relating to the Company, including its consolidated Subsidiaries, required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s principal executive officer and its principal financial officer to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure; and such disclosure controls and procedures were determined to be effective in all material respects to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it filed under the Exchange Act since December 31, 2005, was recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms. The Company’s principal executive officer and its principal financial officer have disclosed, based on their most recent evaluation, to the Company’s auditors and the audit committee of the Company Board (i) all significant deficiencies in the design or operation of internal controls which could adversely affect the Company’s ability to record, process, summarize and report financial data and have identified for the Company’s auditors any material weaknesses in internal controls and (ii) any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other employees who have a significant role in the Company’s internal controls. The principal executive officer and the principal financial officer of the Company have made all certifications required by the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act, the Exchange Act and any related rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC with respect to the Company SEC Documents, and the statements contained in such certifications are complete and correct. The management of the Company has completed its assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting in compliance with the requirements of Section 404 of the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act for the year ended December 31, 2007, and such assessment concluded that such controls were effective.

Notwithstanding the foregoing or any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Company and its Subsidiaries make no representation or warranty that Persons other than the Company or its Subsidiaries have not independently created information that may be substantially the same or similar to Trade Secrets owned by or licensed to the Company. The Company Intellectual Property and Company Technology owned by or licensed to the Company and its Subsidiaries include all of the Intellectual Property and Technology necessary and sufficient to enable the Company and its Subsidiaries to conduct their respective businesses (other than the Digital Watermarking Business) as such businesses are currently being conducted; provided, however, that the representation and warranty in this sentence shall not be deemed or construed as a representation or warranty, express or implied, regarding non-infringement, misappropriation or violation of any Intellectual Property or Technology of any Person (which is addressed solely in Section 4.16(c) below).

(k) The consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will not result in the loss or impairment of the right of the Surviving Corporation to own or use any Company Intellectual Property or Company Technology as currently used in the conduct of the Company’s business, except for such loss or impairment that, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect.

SECTION 6.3 No Solicitation.

(a) The Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries and their respective directors, officers, employees, investment bankers, financial advisors, attorneys, accountants, agents and other representatives (collectively, “Representatives”) to, immediately cease and cause to be terminated any discussions or negotiations with any Person conducted heretofore with respect to a Takeover Proposal. From the date hereof until the earlier of the date on which this Agreement is terminated and the Acceptance Time, the Company shall not, and shall cause its Subsidiaries and their respective Representatives not to, directly or indirectly (i) knowingly solicit, knowingly initiate, cause, facilitate or encourage (including by way of furnishing information) any inquiries or proposals that constitute, or may reasonably be expected to lead to, any Takeover Proposal, (ii) participate in any discussions or negotiations with any third party regarding any Takeover Proposal or (iii) enter into any agreement related to any Takeover Proposal.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 6.3, subject to the Company’s compliance in all material respects with this Section 6.3, if after the date hereof the Company Board receives an unsolicited, bona fide written Takeover Proposal made after the date hereof, and the Company Board reasonably determines in good faith that such Takeover Proposal constitutes or could reasonably be expected to lead to a Superior Proposal and with respect to which the board of directors determines in good faith, after consulting with outside legal counsel, that the failure to take such action would be reasonably likely to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law, the Company may, at any time prior to the Acceptance Time and after providing Parent not less than twenty-four (24) hours written notice of its intention to take such actions (i) furnish information with respect to the Company and its Subsidiaries to the Person making such Takeover Proposal, but only after such Person enters into a customary confidentiality agreement with the Company (which confidentiality agreement must be no less favorable to the Company than the Confidentiality Agreement); provided that (A) such confidentiality agreement may not include any provision calling for an exclusive right to negotiate with the Company and may not restrict the Company from complying with this Section 6.3 and (B) the Company advises Parent of all such non-public information delivered to such Person concurrently with its delivery to such Person and concurrently with its delivery to such Person the Company delivers to Parent all such information not previously provided to Parent, and (ii) participate in discussions and negotiations with such Person regarding such Takeover Proposal. Without limiting the foregoing, it is understood that any violation of the foregoing restrictions by the Company’s Subsidiaries or Representatives shall be deemed to be a breach of this Section 6.3 by the Company. The Company shall provide Parent with a correct and complete copy of any confidentiality agreement entered into pursuant to this paragraph within twenty-four (24) hours of the execution thereof.

(c) In addition to the other obligations of the Company set forth in this Section 6.3, the Company shall promptly advise Parent, orally and in writing, and in no event later than twenty-four (24) hours after receipt, if any proposal, offer, inquiry or other contact is received by, any information is requested from, or any discussions or negotiations are sought to be initiated or continued with, the Company or any of its Representatives in respect of any Takeover Proposal, and shall, in any such notice to Parent, indicate the identity of the Person making such proposal, offer, inquiry or other contact and the terms and conditions of any

proposals or offers or the nature of any inquiries or contacts (and shall include with such notice copies of any written materials received from or on behalf of such Person relating to such proposal, offer, inquiry or request), and thereafter shall promptly keep Parent fully informed of all material developments affecting the status and terms of any such proposals, offers, inquiries or requests (and the Company shall provide Parent with copies of any additional written materials received that relate to such proposals, offers, inquiries or requests) and of the status of any such discussions or negotiations. None of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall, after the date of this Agreement, enter into any agreement that would prohibit them from providing such information to Parent.

(d) Except as expressly permitted by Section 6.3(e) and subject to Section 6.3(f), neither the Company Board nor any committee thereof shall (i) (A) withdraw or modify, or propose publicly to withdraw or modify, in a manner adverse to Parent, the Company Board Recommendation or (B) approve or recommend, or propose publicly to approve or recommend, any Takeover Proposal (any action described in this clause (i) being referred to as a “Company Adverse Recommendation Change”) or (ii) cause or authorize the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to enter into any letter of intent, agreement in principle, memorandum of understanding, merger, acquisition, purchase or joint venture agreement or other agreement related to any Takeover Proposal (other than a confidentiality agreement in accordance with Section 6.3(b)).

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, but subject to the provisions of Section 6.3(f), prior to the Acceptance Time, the Company Board may make a Company Adverse Recommendation Change if the Company Board receives a Takeover Proposal that has not been withdrawn that the Company Board determines in good faith, after consulting with outside legal counsel, constitutes a Superior Proposal and if the board of directors determines in good faith, after consulting with outside legal counsel, that the failure to make such Company Adverse Recommendation Change would reasonably be likely to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law; provided, however, that the Company shall not enter into a definitive agreement providing for the implementation of a transaction that is a Superior Proposal unless this Agreement shall have been terminated by the Company in accordance with Section 8.1(d)(iii).

(f) The Company shall not be entitled to effect a Company Adverse Recommendation Change with respect to a Superior Proposal unless (i) the Company has complied in all material respects with this Section 6.3, (ii) the Company has provided written notice (a “Company Adverse Recommendation Notice”) to Parent that the Company intends to take such action and specifying the terms and conditions of such Superior Proposal, including with such Company Adverse Recommendation Notice a copy of the relevant proposed transaction agreements with the party making such Superior Proposal and other material documents, (iii) during the five (5) Business Day period following Parent’s receipt of the Company Adverse Recommendation Notice, the Company shall, and shall cause its financial and legal advisors to, negotiate with Parent and Merger Sub in good faith (to the extent Parent and Merger Sub desire to negotiate) to make such adjustments in the terms and conditions of this Agreement so that such Superior Proposal ceases to constitute a Superior Proposal and (iv) following the end of such five (5) Business Day period, the Company Board shall have determined in good faith, taking into account any changes to the terms of this Agreement

proposed by Parent to the Company in response to the Company Adverse Recommendation Notice or otherwise, that the Superior Proposal giving rise to the Company Adverse Recommendation Notice continues to constitute a Superior Proposal. Any amendment to the financial terms or any other material amendment of such Superior Proposal shall require a new Company Adverse Recommendation Notice and the Company shall be required to comply again with the requirements of this Section 6.3(f).

(g) Nothing in this Section 6.3 shall prohibit the Company Board from taking and disclosing to the stockholders of the Company a position contemplated by Rule 14e-2(a), Rule 14d-9 or Item 1012(a) of Regulation M-A promulgated under the Exchange Act if the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel, that disclosing such position is required to comply with such rules and regulations; provided, however, that in no event shall the Company or the Company Board or any committee thereof take, or agree or resolve to take, any action prohibited by Section 6.3(d), unless in each case the applicable requirements of Section 6.3(e) and Section 6.3(f) shall have been satisfied. In addition, it is understood and agreed that, for purposes of this Agreement (including Article VIII), a factually accurate public statement by the Company that describes the Company’s receipt of a Takeover Proposal and the operation of this Agreement with respect thereto, or any “stop, look and listen” communication by the Company Board pursuant to Rule 14d-9(f) of the Exchange Act or any similar communication to the stockholders of the Company, shall not constitute a Company Adverse Recommendation Change or an approval or recommendation with respect to any Takeover Proposal.

(h) For purposes of this Agreement:

“Takeover Proposal” means any inquiry, proposal or offer from any Person or “group” (as defined in Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act), other than Parent and its Subsidiaries, relating to any (i) direct or indirect acquisition (whether in a single transaction or a series of related transactions) of assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries (including securities of Subsidiaries) equal to twenty percent (20%) or more of the Company’s consolidated assets or to which twenty percent (20%) or more of the Company’s revenues on a consolidated basis are attributable, (ii) direct or indirect acquisition (whether in a single transaction or a series of related transactions) of beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Section 13 under the Exchange Act) of twenty percent (20%) or more of any class of equity securities of the Company, (iii) tender offer or exchange offer that if consummated would result in any Person or “group” (as defined in Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act) beneficially owning twenty percent (20%) or more of any class of equity securities of the Company or (iv) merger, consolidation, share exchange, business combination, recapitalization, liquidation, dissolution or similar transaction involving the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; in each case, other than the Transactions.

“Superior Proposal” means a written Takeover Proposal on terms and conditions which the Company Board determines in its good faith and reasonable judgment (after consultation with outside legal counsel and its financial advisor) to be more favorable to the Company’s stockholders from a financial point of view than the Merger and the other Transactions, taking into account at the time of determination all of the terms and conditions of such proposal (including the ability of the Person making such proposal to consummate the transactions contemplated by such proposal (based upon, among other things, the availability of

financing and the expectation of obtaining required approvals)) and this Agreement (including any changes to the terms of this Agreement committed to by Parent to the Company in writing in response to such proposal or otherwise); provided, however, that for purposes of the definition of “Superior Proposal,” the references to “twenty percent (20%)” in the definition of Takeover Proposal shall be deemed to be references to “fifty percent (50%).

SECTION 6.4 Reasonable Best Efforts.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement (including Section 6.3), each of the parties hereto shall cooperate with the other parties and use (and shall cause their respective Subsidiaries to use) their respective reasonable best efforts to promptly (i) take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and do, or cause to be done, all things, necessary, proper or advisable to cause the Offer Conditions and the conditions to Closing to be satisfied as promptly as practicable and to consummate and make effective, in the most expeditious manner practicable, the Transactions, including preparing and filing promptly and fully all documentation to effect all necessary filings, notices, petitions, statements, registrations, submissions of information, applications and other documents and (ii) obtain all approvals, consents, registrations, permits, authorizations and other confirmations from any Governmental Authority or third party necessary, proper or advisable to consummate the Transactions.

(b) In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the Company and Parent shall each use its reasonable best efforts to (i) take all action necessary to ensure that no state takeover statute or similar Law is or becomes applicable to any of the Transactions and (ii) if any state takeover statute or similar Law becomes applicable to any of the Transactions, take all action necessary to ensure that the Transactions may be consummated as promptly as practicable on the terms contemplated by this Agreement and otherwise minimize the effect of such Law on the Transactions.

(c) Each of the parties hereto shall use its reasonable best efforts to (i) cooperate in all respects with each other in connection with any filing or submission with a Governmental Authority in connection with the Transactions and in connection with any investigation or other inquiry by or before a Governmental Authority relating to the Transactions, including any proceeding initiated by a private party and (ii) keep the other party informed in all material respects and on a reasonably timely basis of any material communication received by such party from, or given by such party to, any Governmental Authority and of any material communication received or given in connection with any proceeding by a private party, in each case regarding any of the Transactions. Subject to applicable Laws relating to the exchange of information, each of the parties hereto shall have the right to review in advance, and to the extent practicable each will consult the other on, all the information relating to the other parties and their respective Subsidiaries, as the case may be, that appears in any filing made with, or written materials submitted to, any third party and/or any Governmental Authority in connection with the Transactions. No party to this Agreement shall consent to any voluntary delay of the Closing at the behest of any Governmental Authority without the consent of the other parties to this Agreement, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Agreement, the Company shall not, without Parent’s prior written consent, commit to any divestiture

transaction or agree to any restriction on its business, and nothing in this Section 6.4 shall (i) limit any applicable rights a party may have to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1 so long as such party has up to then complied in all material respects with its obligations under this Section 6.4 or (ii) require Parent to offer, accept or agree to (A) dispose or hold separate any part of its or the Company’s businesses, operations, assets or product lines (or a combination of Parent’s and the Company’s respective businesses, operations, assets or product lines), (B) not compete in any geographic area or line of business and/or (C) restrict the manner in which, or whether, Parent, the Company, the Surviving Corporation or any of their Affiliates may carry on business in any part of the world.

SECTION 6.5 Public Announcements. The press release with respect to the execution of this Agreement shall be a joint press release to be reasonably agreed upon by Parent and the Company. Neither the Company nor Parent shall issue or cause the publication of any press release or other public announcement (to the extent not previously issued or made in accordance with this Agreement) with respect to the Offer, the Merger, this Agreement or the other Transactions without the prior consent of the other party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), except as may be required by Law or by any applicable listing agreement with the NYSE or Nasdaq, as applicable, as determined in the good faith judgment of the party proposing to make such release (in which case such party shall not issue or cause the publication of such press release or other public announcement without prior consultation with the other party).

SECTION 6.6 Access to Information; Confidentiality. Subject to applicable Law relating to the exchange of information, each party shall afford the other party and its representatives reasonable access during normal business hours to all of such party’s and its Subsidiaries’ properties, commitments, books, Contracts, records and correspondence (in each case, whether in physical or electronic form), officers, employees, accountants, counsel, financial advisors and other representatives and each party shall furnish promptly to the other party (a) a copy of each report, schedule and other document filed or submitted by it pursuant to the requirements of Federal or state securities Laws (and a copy of each report, schedule and other document proposed to be filed or submitted by such party pursuant to the requirements of Federal or state securities Laws not less than three (3) Business Days prior to such filing, except for Current Reports on Form 8-K, which shall be provided a reasonable period of time prior to such filing and, with respect to Parent, only to the extent relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) and a copy of any communication (including “comment letters”) received by such party from the SEC concerning compliance with securities Laws and (b) all other information concerning its and its Subsidiaries’ business, properties and personnel as the other party may reasonably request. In addition, the Company agrees to cooperate with Parent to the extent Parent engages a third party to study the availability of the Company’s net operating losses to offset any gain resulting from the Spin-Off. No investigation, or information received, pursuant to this Section 6.6 will modify any of the representations and warranties of the parties hereto. Except for disclosures permitted by the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement, dated as of January 29, 2008, between Parent and the Company (as it may be amended from time to time, the “Confidentiality Agreement”), the receiving party shall hold information received from the disclosing party pursuant to this Section 6.6 in confidence in accordance with the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement.

SECTION 6.7 Notification of Certain Matters. The Company shall give prompt notice to Parent, and Parent shall give prompt notice to the Company, of (a) any notice or other communication received by such party from any Governmental Authority in connection with the Transactions or from any Person alleging that the consent of such Person is or may be required in connection with the Transactions, if the subject matter of such communication or the failure of such party to obtain such consent could be material to the Company, the Surviving Corporation or Parent, (b) any actions, suits, claims, investigations or proceedings commenced or, to such party’s Knowledge, threatened against, relating to or involving or otherwise affecting such party or any of its Subsidiaries which relate to the Transactions, (c) the discovery of any fact or circumstance that, or the occurrence or non-occurrence of any event the occurrence or non-occurrence of which, would cause any representation or warranty made by such party contained in this Agreement (i) that is qualified as to materiality or Company Material Adverse Effect or Parent Material Adverse Effect, as applicable, to be untrue and (ii) that is not so qualified to be untrue in any material respect, and (d) any material failure of such party to comply with or satisfy any covenant or agreement to be complied with or satisfied by it hereunder; provided, however, that the delivery of any notice pursuant to this Section 6.7 shall not (A) cure any breach of, or non-compliance with, any other provision of this Agreement or (B) limit the remedies available to the party receiving such notice.

Except as provided in Section 8.3, all fees and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement, the Offer, the Merger and the Transactions shall be paid by the party incurring such fees or expenses, whether or not the Merger is consummated; provided, however, that any such fees and expenses of the Company not paid or satisfied immediately prior to the Acceptance Time shall be transferred to and assumed by, and shall become the obligations of, Newco in connection with the Restructuring and the Spin-Off.

SECTION 6.10 Spin-Off.

(a) Promptly following the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the parties shall, and shall cause their Affiliates to, execute and deliver the Spin-Off Agreements. Prior to the later of (i) the Initial Expiration Date and (ii) the latest Extended Expiration Date, if any, preceding the Acceptance Time (such later date being the “Target Spin-Off Date”), the Company shall, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Spin-Off Agreements, cause the Spin-Off Assets and the Company’s cash to be contributed to a newly-formed subsidiary (“Newco”) and the liabilities primarily related to the Digital Watermarking Business to be assumed by Newco (the “Restructuring”). If the Form 10 is then effective under the Exchange Act, immediately prior to the expiration of the Offer period on the Target Spin-Off Date, the Company shall, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Spin-Off Agreements, effect a distribution of 100% of Newco’s equity interests to the holders of shares of Company Common Stock as of the Spin-Off Record Date (the “Spin-Off”). If (i) the Form 10 is not effective under the Exchange Act immediately prior to the expiration of the Offer period on the Target Spin-Off

Date and (ii) Parent and the Company are reasonably satisfied that no Governmental Authority with oversight of the Trust Transfer (as defined below) and the Spin-Off will object to such transactions, the Company shall, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Spin-Off Agreements and immediately prior to the expiration of the Offer period on the Target Spin-Off Date transfer 100% of Newco’s equity interests to a newly-formed trust (the “Trust Transfer”) and such trust shall hold such equity interests of Newco on behalf of the Company’s stockholders as of the Spin-Off Record Date until such time as the Form 10 is declared effective under the Exchange Act and, immediately after the Form 10 is declared effective, consummate the Spin-Off.

(b) Parent and the Company shall cooperate in good faith and use their reasonable best efforts to obtain, as promptly as practicable following the date of this Agreement, reasonably satisfactory assurances from any Governmental Authorities with oversight of the Trust Transfer and the Spin-Off that such Governmental Authorities will not object to such transactions. Parent and the Company shall use their reasonable best efforts to contact the applicable Governmental Authority as soon as possible after the date of this Agreement and shall cooperate in good faith to provide any information reasonably requested by, and engage in discussions with, such Governmental Authority.

(c) On the day prior to Target Spin-Off Date, Parent shall provide notice to the Company as to whether the Minimum Condition will be satisfied on such expiration date and confirming Parent’s and Merger Sub’s intention to accept for payment the Shares that have been tendered pursuant to the Offer, subject only to satisfaction of the Offer Conditions other than the Minimum Condition. If the Form 10 is effective or Parent and the Company have received the assurance contemplated by Section 6.10(a), then immediately following the receipt of such notice, the Company shall effect the Spin-Off or the Trust Transfer so that such transaction, as applicable, will be completed prior to the Target Spin-Off Date.

SECTION 6.11 Rule 16b-3. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company and Parent shall take such steps as may be reasonably requested by any party hereto to cause dispositions of Company equity securities (including derivative securities) pursuant to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement by each individual who is a director or officer of the Company to be exempt under Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act in accordance with that certain No-Action Letter dated January 12, 1999 issued by the SEC regarding such matters.

SECTION 6.12 Employee Benefits and Labor Matters.

(a) As of the Effective Time, and for a period of at least twelve (12) months thereafter, Parent shall provide or cause its Subsidiaries (including the Surviving Corporation) to provide to employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries who are employed by Parent or any of its Subsidiaries (including the Surviving Corporation) immediately after the Effective Time (the “Continuing Employees”) employee benefits (excluding any equity-based plan and retention agreements) that, at Parent’s election (i) are the same as those provided to similarly situated employees of Parent or (ii) in the aggregate, are no less favorable to the Continuing Employees (and their spouses and dependents) than those in effect under the Company Plans for such Continuing Employees (and their spouses and dependents) immediately prior to the Effective

Time. With respect to each benefit plan, program, practice, policy and arrangement maintained by Parent or its Subsidiaries (including the Surviving Corporation) following the Effective Time and in which any of the Continuing Employees participate or are eligible to participate (the “Parent Plans”), for purposes of determining eligibility to participate, vesting, accrual of and entitlement to benefits and all other purposes (but not for accrual of benefits under any “defined benefit plan,” as defined in Section 3(35) of ERISA), service with the Company and its Subsidiaries (or predecessor employers to the extent the Company provides past service credit) shall be treated as service with Parent and its Subsidiaries. With respect to each Parent Plan that is a welfare benefit plan, within the meaning of Section 3(1) of ERISA, (A) Parent shall waive or cause to be waived any and all eligibility waiting periods, evidence of insurability requirements and pre-existing condition limitations to the extent waived, satisfied or not included under the corresponding Company Plan, and (B) Parent shall recognize or cause to be recognized for each Continuing Employee for purposes of applying annual deductible, co-payment and out-of-pocket maximums under such Parent Plan any deductible, co-payment and out-of-pocket expenses paid by such Continuing Employee and his or her spouse and dependents under a corresponding Company Plan during the calendar year in which occurs the later of the Effective Time and the date on which such Continuing Employee begins participation in such Parent Plan.

(b) At and after the Effective Time, Parent and the buying group (as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 54.4980B-9, Q&A 2(c)) of which it is a part shall be solely responsible for providing continuation coverage under COBRA to those individuals who are M&A qualified beneficiaries (as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 54.4980B-9, Q&A 4(b)) with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (collectively, the “M&A Qualified Beneficiaries”), other than those M&A Qualified Beneficiaries employed by Newco.

(c) During the period from the date of this Agreement until the earlier of the date on which this Agreement is terminated and the Effective Time, the Company shall not issue any broadly distributed communication of a general nature to employees (including general communications relating to benefits and compensation) without first consulting with, and considering in good faith any comments or suggestions made by, Parent, except for communications in the ordinary course of business that do not relate to the Transactions.

(d) The Company shall take all action that may be necessary to cause all participants’ rights under all current offering periods under the Company Purchase Plan to terminate as soon as practicable, and on the date on which such offering period is terminated, all accumulated payroll deductions allocated to each participant’s account under the Company Purchase Plan shall thereupon be returned to each participant as provided by the terms of the Company Purchase Plan and no shares of Company Common Stock shall be purchased under the Company Purchase Plan for such offering period. The Company shall not commence a new offering period under the Company Purchase Plan after the date of this Agreement. As of the close of business on the day immediately prior to the Spin-Off Record Date, the Company shall have terminated the Company Purchase Plan and provided such notice of termination as may be required by the terms of the Company Purchase Plan. The form and substance of any such notice regarding the Company Purchase Plan termination shall be subject to the review and approval of Parent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.

SECTION 6.13 Indemnification, Exculpation and Insurance.

(a) Parent agrees that, and shall cause the Surviving Corporation to assume the obligations associated with, all rights of the individuals who on or prior to the Effective Time were directors or officers of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (collectively, the “Indemnitees”) to indemnification and exculpation from liabilities for acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Effective Time as provided in the respective certificate of incorporation or bylaws (or comparable organizational documents) of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries as of the date of this Agreement, and any indemnification agreements or arrangements of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries set forth on Schedule 6.13(a), shall survive the Merger and shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with their terms. Such rights shall not be amended or otherwise modified in any manner that would adversely affect the rights of the Indemnitees; provided, however, that the Surviving Corporation shall have no obligation to provide such indemnification to the extent that such indemnification is prohibited under applicable Law.

(b) Parent, from and after the Effective Time, shall cause (i) the certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation to contain provisions no less favorable to the Indemnitees with respect to limitation of certain liabilities of directors, officers, employees and agents and indemnification than are set forth as of the date of this Agreement in the Company Charter Documents and (ii) the certificate of incorporation and bylaws (or similar organizational documents) of each Subsidiary of the Surviving Corporation to contain the current provisions regarding indemnification of directors, officers, employees and agents which provisions in each case shall not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified in a manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of the Indemnitees.

(c) For the six-year period commencing immediately after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall maintain in effect the Company’s current directors’ and officers’ liability insurance covering acts or omissions occurring prior to the Effective Time with respect to those persons who are currently covered by the Company’s directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy on terms with respect to such coverage and amount no less favorable to the Company’s directors and officers currently covered by such insurance than those of such policy in effect on the date hereof; provided, however, that, if the Company’s current directors’ and officers’ liability insurance expires, is terminated or is cancelled, Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, obtain directors’ and officers’ liability insurance covering such acts or omissions with respect to each such person on terms with respect to such coverage and amount no less favorable to the Company’s directors and officers currently covered by such insurance than those of such policy in effect immediately prior to the date of such expiration, termination or cancellation; provided, further, however, that in no event shall the Surviving Corporation be required to expend per annum of coverage in excess of 150% of the annual premium currently paid by the Company for such coverage (or such coverage as is available for 150% of such annual premium). Alternatively, with the consent of Parent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, the Company may purchase “tail” insurance coverage covering a period of six (6) years after the Effective Time, at a cost no greater than that set forth in the preceding sentence, that provides coverage identical in all material respects to the coverage described above.

(d) The provisions of this Section 6.13 are intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each Indemnitee, his or her heirs and his or her representatives and

are in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other rights to indemnification or contribution that any such person may have by contract or otherwise.

(e) In the event that the Surviving Corporation or any of its successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and is not the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers or conveys all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of the Surviving Corporation shall assume all of the obligations thereof set forth in this Section 6.13.

SECTION 6.14 Resignation of Directors and Officers. The Company shall cause each of the directors and officers of the Company and its Subsidiaries, in each case, to the extent requested by Parent no less than ten (10) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, to submit a letter of resignation or otherwise be removed as a director or an officer, as the case may be, effective on or before the Closing Date.

SECTION 6.15 Rights Plan. The Company shall not redeem the Company Rights or amend or modify or terminate the Company Rights Agreement prior to the Effective Time.

ARTICLE VIII

TERMINATION

SECTION 8.1 Termination. This Agreement may be terminated and the Transactions abandoned at any time prior to the Effective Time:

(a) by the mutual written consent of the Company and Parent duly authorized by each of their respective boards of directors;

(b) by either of the Company or Parent:

(i) if the Acceptance Time shall not have occurred on or before the Walk-Away Date or the Offer is terminated or withdrawn pursuant to its terms and the terms of this Agreement without any shares of Company Common Stock being purchased thereunder; provided, however that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 8.1(b)(i) shall not be available to a party if the failure of the Acceptance Time to occur on or before the Walk-Away Date or the termination or withdrawal of the Offer was primarily due to the failure of such party to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement;

(ii) if any Restraint shall be in effect and shall have become final and nonappealable and has the effect of making the acceptance for payment of shares of Company Common Stock pursuant to the Offer or the consummation of the Merger illegal or otherwise preventing or prohibiting consummation of the Offer or the Merger; provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 8.1(b)(ii) shall not be available to a party if such Restraint was primarily due to the failure of such party to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement; or

(i) if, prior to the Acceptance Time, the Company shall have materially breached or failed to perform any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements set forth in this Agreement, which breach or failure to perform (A) would give rise to the failure of an Offer Condition set forth in paragraphs (a) or (b) of Annex I and (B) cannot be cured by the Company by the Walk-Away Date or, if capable of being cured, shall not have been cured within thirty (30) calendar days following receipt of written notice from Parent stating

Parent’s intention to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1(c)(i) and the basis for such termination; provided, however, that Parent shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1(c)(i) if it is then in material breach of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or other agreements hereunder; or

(ii) if (A) the Company Board shall have effected a Company Adverse Recommendation Change, (B) a tender offer or exchange offer for shares of capital stock of the Company that constitutes a Takeover Proposal is commenced prior to the Acceptance Time and the Company Board fails to recommend against acceptance of such tender offer or exchange offer by its stockholders (including, for these purposes, by taking no position with respect to the acceptance of such tender offer or exchange offer by its stockholders, which shall constitute a failure to recommend against acceptance of such tender offer or exchange offer) within ten (10) Business Days after commencement or (C) the Company enters into a definitive agreement with respect to any Takeover Proposal;

(d) by the Company:

(i) if, prior to the Acceptance Time, Parent or Merger Sub shall have materially breached or failed to perform any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement, which breach or failure to perform (A) would reasonably be expected to prevent Parent or Merger Sub from accepting for payment or paying for shares of Company Common Stock pursuant to the Offer or consummating the Merger in accordance with the terms hereof and (B) cannot be cured by Parent or Merger Sub by the Walk-Away Date or, if capable of being cured, shall not have been cured within thirty (30) calendar days following receipt of written notice from the Company stating the Company’s intention to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1(d)(i) and the basis for such termination; provided, however, that the Company shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1(d)(i) if it is then in material breach of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or other agreements hereunder;

(ii) if all of the conditions set forth in Annex I have been satisfied and Parent or Merger Sub fails to comply with any of their respective obligations pursuant to Section 1.1(b) hereof;

(iii) in order to enter into a definitive agreement providing for the implementation of a transaction that is a Superior Proposal, prior to the receipt of the Company Stockholder Approval, if (A) the Company has complied with Section 6.3(e) and Section 6.3(f) and (B) prior to or concurrently with such termination, the Company pays the Termination Fee; or

(iv) Merger Sub fails to commence the Offer on or prior to July 14, 2008; provided, however, that any such termination must occur prior to July 18, 2008; provided, further, however, that the Company may not terminate this

Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1(d)(iv) (A) after Merger Sub commences the Offer or (B) if Merger Sub’s failure to commence the Offer is due to the Company’s breach of this Agreement.

SECTION 8.2 Effect of Termination. In the event of the termination of this Agreement as provided in Section 8.1, written notice thereof shall be given to the other party or parties, specifying the provision hereof pursuant to which such termination is made, and this Agreement shall forthwith become null and void (other than the provisions of the first sentence of Section 4.20 and Section 5.7, the last sentence of Section 6.6, Sections 6.9, 8.2 and 8.3, and Article IX, all of which shall survive termination of this Agreement), and there shall be no liability on the part of Parent, Merger Sub or the Company or their respective directors, officers and Affiliates, except (a) Parent or the Company may have liability as provided in Section 8.3, and (b) nothing shall relieve any party from liability for fraud or any willful breach of this Agreement.

SECTION 8.3 Termination Fee.

(a) In the event that:

(i) (A) a Takeover Proposal shall have been made known to the Company or shall have been made directly to its stockholders generally or any Person shall have publicly announced an intention (whether or not conditional or withdrawn) to make a Takeover Proposal, (B) thereafter, this Agreement is terminated by Parent or the Company pursuant to Section 8.1(b)(i) or Parent pursuant to Section 8.1(c)(i) and (C) the Company enters into a definitive agreement with respect to, or consummates, a transaction contemplated by any Takeover Proposal within twelve (12) months of the date this Agreement is terminated;

(iii) this Agreement is terminated by the Company pursuant to Section 8.1(d)(iii);

then in any such event the Company shall pay to Parent a termination fee in cash equal to $10,850,000 (the “Termination Fee”).

(b) In the event that (i) a Takeover Proposal shall have been made known to the Company or shall have been made directly to its stockholders generally or any Person shall have publicly announced an intention (whether or not conditional or withdrawn) to make a Takeover Proposal and thereafter this Agreement is terminated by the Company or Parent pursuant to Section 8.1(b)(i) and no Termination Fee is payable in respect thereof pursuant to Section 8.3(a)(i) or (ii) this Agreement is terminated by Parent pursuant to Section 8.1(c)(i) and no Termination Fee is payable in respect thereof pursuant to Section 8.3(a)(i), then in each such case the Company shall pay to Parent all of the Expenses of Parent and Merger Sub and

thereafter the Company shall be obligated to pay to Parent the Termination Fee (net of the amount of Expenses previously actually paid to Parent pursuant to this sentence) in the event such fee is payable pursuant to Section 8.3(a)(i). In the event this Agreement is terminated by the Company pursuant to Section 8.1(d)(i) or (iv), Parent shall pay to the Company all of the Expenses of the Company; provided, however, Parent shall not be obligated to pay such Expenses if the Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 8.1(d)(iv) and a Takeover Proposal shall have been made known to the Company or shall have been made directly to its stockholders generally or any Person shall have publicly announced an intention (whether or not conditional or withdrawn) to make a Takeover Proposal on or prior to the date on which this Agreement is terminated. As used herein, “Expenses” means all out-of-pocket fees and expenses (including all fees and expenses of counsel, accountants, financial advisors and investment bankers to a party hereto and its Affiliates) incurred by a party or on its behalf in connection with or related to the authorization, preparation, negotiation, execution and performance of this Agreement, the preparation, printing, filing and mailing of the Offer Documents, the Schedule 14D-9, the Form 10 and the Proxy/Information Statement, to the extent required, the filing of any required notices under applicable Antitrust Laws or other regulations and all other matters related to the Offer, the Merger and the other Transactions; provided, however, that in no event shall Expenses exceed $6,000,000.

(c) In the event that the Company shall terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(d)(ii), Parent shall pay to the Company a termination fee in cash equal to $10,850,000 (the “Parent Termination Fee”). If the Parent Termination Fee becomes payable pursuant to this Section 8.3(c), such payment shall be made to the Company no later than two (2) Business Days after the termination of this Agreement. Any such payment shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account to be designated by the Company.

(d) Any payment required to be made pursuant to Section 8.3(a)(i) shall be made to Parent promptly following the earlier of the execution of a definitive agreement with respect to, or the consummation of, any transaction contemplated by a Takeover Proposal (and in any event not later than two (2) Business Days after delivery to the Company of notice of demand for payment). Any payment required to be made pursuant to Section 8.3(a)(ii) shall be made to Parent promptly following termination of this Agreement by Parent pursuant to Section 8.1(c)(ii) or, if this Agreement is terminated by Parent pursuant to Section 8.1(b)(i) following any time at which Parent is entitled to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(c)(ii), 8.1(b)(i), as applicable (and in any event not later than two (2) Business Days after delivery to the Company of notice of demand for payment). Any payment required to be made pursuant to Section 8.3(a)(iii) shall be made to Parent prior to or contemporaneously with the termination of this Agreement by the Company pursuant to Section 8.1(d)(iii) (and any purported termination pursuant to Section 8.1(d)(iii) or this Section 8.3 shall be void and of no force or effect unless the Company shall have made such payment). In circumstances in which Expenses of Parent and Merger Sub or the Company are payable, such payment shall be made to Parent or the Company, as applicable, not later than two (2) Business Days after delivery to the Company or Parent, as applicable, of an itemization setting forth in reasonable detail all Expenses of Parent and Merger Sub or the Company (which itemization may be supplemented and updated from time to time by such party until the sixtieth (60th) day after such party delivers such notice of demand for payment). All such payments shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account to be designated by Parent.

(e) Each of the parties hereto acknowledges that the agreements contained in this Section 8.3 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated hereby, and that without these agreements, the other party would not enter into this Agreement. Accordingly, if the Company or Parent, as the case may be, fails to timely pay any amount due pursuant to this Section 8.3 and, in order to obtain the payment, Parent or the Company, as the case may be, commences a suit which results in a judgment against the other party for the payment set forth in this Section 8.3, such payment shall accrue interest for the period commencing on the date such amount became past due at the annual rate of eight percent (8%). In addition, the paying party shall pay the other party its reasonable and documented costs and expenses (including reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees) in connection with such suit.

(f) Except in the event of willful breach or fraud by Parent, (i) the Company’s receipt of payment of the Parent Termination Fee from Parent pursuant to Section 8.3(c) shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Company and its Affiliates against the Parent Parties for any loss or damage suffered as a result of the failure of the Offer or the Merger to be consummated and (ii) upon payment of the Parent Termination Fee, none of the Parent Parties shall have any further liability or obligation relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby (except that Parent shall also be obligated with respect to Section 8.3(e)).

(g) Except in the event of willful breach or fraud by the Company, (i) Parent’s receipt of payment of the Termination Fee from the Company pursuant to Section 8.3 shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of Parent and its Affiliates against the Company Parties for any loss or damage suffered as a result of the failure of the Offer or the Merger to be consummated and (ii) upon payment of the Termination Fee, none of the Company Parties shall have any further liability or obligation relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby (except that the Company shall also be obligated with respect to Section 8.3(e)).
