ARTICLE III

EFFECT OF THE MERGER ON THE CAPITAL STOCK OF THE CONSTITUENT

CORPORATIONS; EXCHANGE OF CERTIFICATES

Section 3.01 Effect on Capital Stock. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Merger SPV, the Company, or the holder of any shares of Company Common Stock or Company Preferred Stock (collectively, the “Stockholders”) or of any other of the following securities:

(a) Treatment of Capital Stock.

(i) Each share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company (the “Company Common Stock”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than Dissenting Shares and Excluded Shares) (the “Converted Shares”) shall be converted into the right to receive $.091 in cash, without interest (the “Merger Consideration”). As of the Effective Time, all of the Converted Shares shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and shall cease to exist, and each holder of a certificate or uncertificated shares representing Company Common Stock which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented any such Converted Shares (each a “Certificate”) shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the Merger Consideration to be issued or paid in consideration therefor upon surrender of such Certificate and other required documentation in accordance with Section 3.02(c). The right of any holder of a Certificate to receive the Merger Consideration shall be subject to and reduced by the amount of any withholding that is required under applicable Tax Law.

(ii) Each share of 6.5% Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company (the “Company Preferred Stock”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will remain issued and outstanding as shares of Company Preferred Stock of the Surviving Corporation following the Effective Time notwithstanding any provisions of the Company’s certificate of incorporation to the contrary, and no other consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor.

(b) Cancellation of Certain Company Common Stock. Each share of Company Common Stock that is owned by Merger SPV or the Company (as treasury stock or otherwise) or any of their respective direct or indirect Subsidiaries (collectively, the “Excluded Shares”) shall be automatically canceled and shall cease to exist, and no consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor.

(c) Capital Stock of Merger SPV. Each share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Merger SPV that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be converted into and become one fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Surviving Corporation.

(d) Certain Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time, (i) the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock shall have been changed into a different number of shares or a different class, by reason of the occurrence or record date of any stock dividend, subdivision, reclassification, recapitalization, split, combination, exchange of shares or similar transaction, (ii) a stock dividend or dividend payable in any other securities of the Company shall be declared with a record date within such period, or (iii) any similar event shall have occurred, then in any such case the Merger Consideration shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect such action; provided, however that nothing in this Section 3.01(d) shall be construed to permit the Company to take any action with respect to its securities that is prohibited by the terms of this Agreement.

Section 3.02 Exchange of Certificates.

(a) Paying Agent. Upon execution of this Agreement, Merger SPV shall enter into an agreement with Computershare Trust Company, N.A (the “Paying Agent”) that is reasonably satisfactory to the Company to act

as paying agent for the payment of the Merger Consideration. Upon execution of this Agreement, Merger SPV shall deposit with the Paying Agent, for the benefit (from and after the Effective Time) of the holders of Certificates, cash in an amount sufficient to pay the aggregate Merger Consideration required to be paid pursuant to Section 3.01(a)(i). All cash deposited with the Paying Agent pursuant to this Section 3.02(a) shall hereinafter be referred to as the “Exchange Fund.” The Exchange Fund shall be held by the Paying Agent in escrow and shall be payable as provided herein and in the Escrow Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit A

(b) Exchange Procedures. As soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time, Merger SPV shall cause the Paying Agent to mail to each holder of record of a Certificate (i) a form of letter of transmittal (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon proper delivery of the Certificates to the Paying Agent, and which shall be in customary form and have such other provisions as Merger SPV may reasonably specify), and (ii) instructions for effecting the surrender of the Certificates in exchange for the Merger Consideration. Each holder of record of one or more Certificates shall, upon surrender to the Paying Agent of such Certificate or Certificates, together with such letter of transmittal, duly executed, and such other documents as may reasonably be required by the Paying Agent, be entitled to receive in exchange therefor the amount of cash to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 3.01(a)(i), and the Certificates so surrendered shall forthwith be canceled. In the event of a transfer of ownership of Company Common Stock which is not registered in the transfer records of the Company, payment of the Merger Consideration in accordance with this Section 3.02(b) may be made to a Person other than the Person in whose name the Certificate so surrendered is registered if such Certificate shall be properly endorsed or otherwise be in proper form for transfer (and accompanied by all documents required to evidence and effect such transfer) and the Person requesting such payment shall pay any transfer or other taxes required by reason of the payment of the Merger Consideration to a Person other than the registered holder of such Certificate. No payment of Merger Consideration shall be paid to any holder of a Certificate with respect to the Converted Shares represented by such Certificate until the holder of such Certificate shall have surrendered such Certificate in accordance with this Article III. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 3.02(b), each Certificate shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive the Merger Consideration to which such holder is entitled to receive in respect of such Certificate pursuant to this Article III. Following the surrender of any Certificate, there shall be paid to the record holder of the Certificate representing whole shares of Company Common Stock issued in exchange therefor, without interest, at the time of such surrender, the Merger Consideration payable in respect therefor in accordance with this Article III. No interest shall be paid or will accrue on any payment to holders of Certificates pursuant to the provisions of this Article III.

(c) No Further Ownership Rights in Company Common Stock. The Merger Consideration paid upon the surrender of Certificates in accordance with the terms of this Article III shall be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to the shares of Company Common Stock formerly represented by such Certificates. At the close of business on the day on which the Effective Time occurs, the share transfer books of the Company shall be closed, and there shall be no further registration of transfers on the share transfer books of the Surviving Corporation of the Company Common Stock. If, after the Effective Time, any Certificate is presented to the Surviving Corporation or Merger SPV for transfer, it shall be canceled against delivery of the Merger Consideration as provided in this Article III.

(d) Termination of the Exchange Fund. Any portion of the Exchange Fund which remains undistributed to the holders of the Certificates for twelve (12) months after the Effective Time shall, upon the demand of Merger SPV, be delivered to the Surviving Corporation. Any holders of the Certificates who have not theretofore complied with this Article III shall thereafter look only to the Surviving Corporation for payment of their claim for the Merger Consideration in accordance with this Article III.

(e) No Liability. None of Merger SPV, the Company, the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent or any of their respective Affiliates shall be liable to any Person in respect of any Merger Consideration properly delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law. If any Certificate shall not have been surrendered immediately prior to the date on which any Merger Consideration

would otherwise escheat to or become the property of any Governmental Entity, any such Merger Consideration shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, become the property of the Surviving Corporation, free and clear of all claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.

(f) Investment of Exchange Fund. The Paying Agent shall invest the cash included in the Exchange Fund as directed by Merger SPV prior to the Effective Time and by the Surviving Corporation after the Effective Time; provided, that, such investments shall be in obligations of or guaranteed by the United States of America or any agency or instrumentality thereof and backed by the full faith and credit of the United States of America, in commercial paper obligations rated A-4 or P-4 or better by ▇▇▇▇▇’▇ Investors Service, Inc. or Standard & Poor’s Corporation, respectively, or in deposit accounts, certificates of deposit or banker’s acceptances of, repurchase or reverse repurchase contracts with, or Eurodollar time deposits purchased from, commercial banks with capital, surplus and undivided profits aggregating in excess of $500 million (based on the most recent financial statements of such bank which are then publicly available). If for any reason (including losses) the cash in the Exchange Fund shall be insufficient to fully satisfy all of the payment obligations to be made in cash by the Paying Agent hereunder, the Surviving Corporation shall promptly deposit or cause to be deposited into the Exchange Fund an amount in cash which is equal to such deficiency in order to fully satisfy such cash payment obligations. Any interest and other income resulting from such investments shall be payable to Merger SPV prior to the Effective Time and to the Surviving Corporation after the Effective Time.

(g) Lost Certificates. If any Certificate has been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent, the entering into of an indemnity or the posting of a bond (in such reasonable amount as the Surviving Corporation may direct) as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, the Paying Agent shall deliver in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate the Merger Consideration to which the holder thereof is entitled pursuant to this Article III.

(h) Withholding Rights. The Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder of Certificates such amounts as the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or any provision of state, local or foreign Tax Law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld and paid over to the appropriate Taxing Authority by the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of Certificates in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made by the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent.

Section 3.03 Stock Options; Warrants.

(a) In accordance with the Company Common Stock Plans, immediately prior to the Effective Time, each outstanding Company Common Stock Option shall not be assumed by the Surviving Corporation, but shall instead be, without any action on the part of the Company or the holder, deemed terminated as of the Effective Time without any consideration therefor. Prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall take all necessary steps under the Company Common Stock Plans to make any amendments to the Company Common Stock Plans that may be necessary or desirable to implement the foregoing.

(b) For purposes of this Agreement, “Company Common Stock Option” means any option or right to purchase Company Common Stock granted under the “Marlborough Software Development Holdings Inc. Incentive Compensation Plan” (the “Company Common Stock Plan”).

(c) In accordance with the terms of the Company’s outstanding Warrants, upon the Effective Time, each Warrant shall remain outstanding but and shall be fully vested and exercisable to purchase Common Stock of the Surviving Corporation.

Section 3.04 Dissenting Shares.

(a) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, each outstanding share of Company Common Stock the holder of which has not voted in favor of the Merger, has perfected such holder’s right to an appraisal of such holder’s shares in accordance with the applicable provisions of the DGCL and has not effectively withdrawn or lost such right to appraisal (a “Dissenting Share”), shall not be converted into or represent a right to the Merger Consideration, but the holder thereof shall be entitled only to such rights as are granted by the applicable provisions of the DGCL; provided, however, that any Dissenting Share held by a person at the Effective Time who shall, after the Effective Time, withdraw the demand for appraisal or lose the right of appraisal, in either case pursuant to the DGCL, shall be deemed to be converted into, as of the Effective Time, the right to receive the Merger Consideration.

(b) If any Stockholder who holds Dissenting Shares as of the Effective Time effectively withdraws or loses (through passage of time, failure to demand or perfect, or otherwise) the right to demand and perfect appraisal or dissenters’ rights under the DGCL, then, as of the later of the Effective Time and the occurrence of such event, such holder’s shares that were Dissenting Shares shall automatically be converted into and represent only the right to receive a portion of the Merger Consideration pursuant to and subject to Section 3.01 without interest thereon upon surrender of the Certificate representing such shares.

(c) The Company shall give Merger SPV (i) prompt written notice of any demands for appraisal of any shares of Company Common Stock pursuant to the exercise of appraisal rights, withdrawals of such demands, and any other instruments or notices served pursuant to the DGCL on the Company and (ii) the opportunity to participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to demands for appraisal under the DGCL. The Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of Merger SPV, voluntarily make or agree to make any payment with respect to any demands for appraisal of Company Common Stock, or settle or offer to settle any such demands.

(b) Until the earlier of the Effective Time or the date this Agreement is terminated in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.01, the Company shall promptly, and in no event later than twenty-four (24) hours after its receipt of any Company Acquisition Proposal, or any request for nonpublic information relating to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with a Company Acquisition Proposal, advise Merger SPV orally and in writing of such Company Acquisition Proposal or request (including providing the identity of the Person making or submitting such Company Acquisition Proposal or request, and, (i) if it is in writing, a copy of such Company Acquisition Proposal and any related draft agreements and (ii) if oral, a reasonably detailed summary thereof that is made or submitted by any Person during the period between the date hereof and the Closing Date). The Company shall keep Merger SPV informed on a prompt basis with respect to any change to the material terms of any such Company Acquisition Proposal (and in no event later than twenty-four (24) hours following any such change), including providing Merger SPV with a copy of any draft agreements and modifications thereof.

(c) Upon the execution of this Agreement, the Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries, its and their respective officers, directors and employees, and the Special Committee, and shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause its and their respective Representatives to, immediately cease and terminate any existing activities, discussions or negotiations between the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective officers, directors, employees or Representatives or the Special Committee, and any Person that relate to any Company Acquisition Proposal and shall use reasonable best efforts to obtain the prompt return or destruction of any confidential information previously furnished to such Persons with respect thereto within twelve (12) months prior to the date hereof.

(d) Except as otherwise provided in Section 6.02(e), the Special Committee and/or the Company Board may not (i) withhold, withdraw or modify, or publicly propose to withhold, withdraw or modify, the Company Board Recommendation in a manner adverse to Merger SPV or make any statement, filing or release, in connection with obtaining the Stockholder Approval or otherwise, inconsistent with the Company Board Recommendation, (ii) approve, endorse or recommend any Company Acquisition Proposal (any of the foregoing set forth in clauses (i) and (ii), a “Change in Recommendation”) or (iii) enter into a written definitive agreement providing for a Company Acquisition Transaction.

During such period, the Company or its Subsidiaries, as the case may be, shall enforce, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law, the provisions of any such agreement, including by obtaining injunctions to prevent any breaches of such agreements and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions thereof in each case except to the extent that the Special Committee or the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel, that taking such action would be reasonably likely to result in a breach of its respective fiduciary duties under applicable Law.

ARTICLE VII

ADDITIONAL AGREEMENTS

Section 7.01 Preparation of the Proxy Statement and Schedule 13E-3- Stockholders’ Meeting.

(a) Proxy Statement. As soon as reasonably practicable following the date of this Agreement, the Company shall prepare and file the Proxy Statement with the SEC. The Company shall cause the Proxy Statement to be mailed to the Stockholders as promptly as practicable after the SEC confirms that it has no comments, or no further comments, with respect to the Proxy Statement. Merger SPV shall furnish to the Company all information as may be reasonably requested by the Company in connection with the preparation, filing and distribution of the Proxy Statement. No filing of, or amendment or supplement to, the Proxy Statement will be made by the Company without providing Merger SPV a reasonable opportunity to review and comment thereon. If, at any time prior to the Effective Time, any information relating to the Company or Merger SPV, or any of their respective Affiliates, directors or officers, should be discovered by the Company or Merger SPV which should be set forth in an amendment or supplement to the Proxy Statement, so that such document would not include any misstatement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading, the party which discovers such information shall promptly notify the other party hereto and an appropriate amendment or supplement describing such information shall be promptly filed with the SEC and, to the extent required by Law, disseminated to the Stockholders. The parties shall notify each other promptly of the receipt of any comments from the SEC or the staff of the SEC and of any request by the SEC or the staff of the SEC for amendments or supplements to the Proxy Statement or for additional information and shall supply each other with copies of all correspondence between it or any of its Representatives, on the one hand, and the SEC or the staff of the SEC, on the other hand, with respect to the Proxy Statement or the Merger.

(b) Schedule 13E-3. Concurrently with the initial filing of the Proxy Statement with the SEC, Merger SPV and its Affiliates shall, in cooperation with and subject to the approval of the Special Committee, prepare and file with the SEC, together with the Company, the Schedule 13E-3. Merger SPV and the Company shall cause the

Schedule 13E-3 to comply with the rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC and respond promptly to any comments of the SEC or its staff regarding the Schedule 13E-3. Each party agrees to provide the other party and its counsel and the Special Committee with copies of any comments that such party or its counsel may receive from the staff of the SEC regarding the Schedule 13E-3 promptly after receipt thereof. The Company shall promptly furnish to Merger SPV all information concerning the Company and its executive officers and directors as may reasonably be requested in connection with the preparation of the Schedule 13E-3. The Company and its counsel and the Special Committee shall be given a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on the Schedule 13E-3 and each supplement, amendment or response to comments with respect thereto prior to filing with or delivering to the SEC.

(c) Stockholders’ Meeting. The Company shall, as soon as reasonably practicable following the date of this Agreement and the receipt of clearance of the Proxy Statement from the SEC, establish a record date for, duly call, give notice of, convene and hold a meeting of the Stockholders (the “Stockholders’ Meeting”) for the purpose of obtaining the Stockholder Approval; provided that such date may be extended to the extent reasonably necessary to permit the Company to file and distribute any material amendment to the Proxy Statement and the Schedule 13E-3 as is required by applicable Law. Subject to Section 6.02, the Company Board shall recommend to the Stockholders adoption of this Agreement and the Merger and shall include the Company Board Recommendation in the Proxy Statement. Any materials to be submitted to the Stockholders in connection with the solicitation of their approval of this Agreement and the Merger shall be subject to review by Merger SPV and Merger SPV shall have a reasonable opportunity to comment on such materials and the Company shall include in such materials comments reasonably proposed by Merger SPV. A Change in Recommendation permitted by Section 6.02 will not constitute a breach by the Company of this Agreement. The Company may engage one or more proxy solicitors in connection with the solicitation of proxies or votes from the Stockholders to be cast at the Stockholders’ Meeting. The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the approval or consent of as many of the Stockholders as possible as promptly as practicable following the date hereof.

Section 7.02 Access to Information; Confidentiality.

(a) Access. During the Interim Period, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, the Company shall afford to Merger SPV, and to Merger SPV’s Representatives, reasonable access during normal business hours and upon reasonable prior notice to the Company to all its and its Subsidiaries’ properties, books, Contracts, commitments, personnel and records; provided that such access shall not unreasonably disrupt the operations of the Company or its Subsidiaries; and provided further, that the Company shall not be required to (or to cause any of its Subsidiaries to) afford such access to the extent that doing so would result in the loss of attorney-client privilege or violate confidentiality obligations owing to third parties.

(b) Hold Confidential. Except for disclosures expressly permitted by the terms of this Agreement, Merger SPV shall hold, and shall cause its accountants, counsel, financial advisors and other Representatives to hold, all information received from the Company, directly or indirectly, in confidence and not make any public disclosure thereof; provided, that the foregoing shall not prevent Merger SPV from disclosing such information (i) to the extent required by applicable Law or by a Governmental Entity (including, inter alia, in any Schedule 13D or 13E-3 filing that Merger SPV is required to make), and (ii) to the extent such information is or becomes generally available to the public other than by disclosure by Merger SPV or any Affiliate or Representative of Merger SPV.

Section 7.03 Reasonable Best Efforts.

(a) Actions. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, each of the parties agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, and to assist and cooperate with the other parties in doing, all things necessary, proper and advisable to consummate and make effective, as promptly as practicable, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including using reasonable best efforts to accomplish the following: (i) that the conditions set

forth in Article VIII are satisfied; (ii) the obtaining of all necessary actions or nonactions, waivers, consents, clearances, and approvals from Governmental Entities and non-governmental third parties and the making of all necessary registrations, notices and filings (including filings with Governmental Entities); and (iii) the obtaining of all necessary consents, approvals or waivers from third parties. Subject to first having used all reasonable best efforts to negotiate a resolution of any objections underlying such lawsuits or other legal proceedings, Merger SPV shall use reasonable best efforts to defend and contest any lawsuits or other legal proceedings, whether judicial or administrative, challenging this Agreement or the consummation of the Merger or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including seeking to have any stay, temporary restraining order, or preliminary injunction entered by any Governmental Entity vacated or reversed.

(b) Filings. The Company and Merger SPV shall cooperate and consult with each other in connection with the making of all such filings, notifications and any other material actions pursuant to this Section 7.03, subject to applicable Law, by permitting counsel for the other party to review in advance, and consider in good faith the views of the other party in connection with, any proposed material written communication to any Governmental Entity and by providing counsel for the other party with copies of all filings and submissions made by such party and all correspondence between such party (and its advisors) with any Governmental Entity and any other information supplied by such party and such party’s Affiliates to a Governmental Entity or received from such a Governmental Entity in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided, however, that material may be redacted (x) as necessary to comply with contractual arrangements, and (y) as necessary to address good faith legal privilege or confidentiality concerns. Neither party shall file any such document or take such action if the other party has reasonably objected (and not withdrawn its objection) to the filing of such document or the taking of such action on the grounds that such filing or action would reasonably be expected to either (i) prevent, materially delay or materially impede the consummation of the Merger or the other transactions contemplated hereby, or (ii) cause a condition set forth in Article VIII to not be satisfied in a timely manner. Neither party shall consent to any voluntary extension of any statutory deadline or waiting period or to any voluntary delay of the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement at the behest of any Governmental Entity without the consent of the other party.

(c) Advise of Changes. Each of the Company and Merger SPV will promptly inform the other party upon receipt of any material communication from any Governmental Entity regarding any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. If the Company or Merger SPV (or any of their respective Affiliates) receives a request for additional information or documentary material from any such Governmental Entity that is related to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, then such party will endeavor in good faith to make, or cause to be made, as soon as reasonably practicable and after consultation with the other party, an appropriate response in compliance with such request. The parties agree not to participate, or to permit their Affiliates to participate, in any substantive meeting or discussion with any Governmental Entity in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement unless it so consults with the other party in advance and, to the extent not prohibited by such Governmental Entity, gives the other party the opportunity to attend and participate. Each party will advise the other party promptly of any understandings, undertakings or agreements (oral or written) which the first party proposes to make or enter into with any Governmental Entity in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, Merger SPV will use all reasonable efforts to resolve any objections that may be asserted with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement under any antitrust, competition or trade regulatory Laws, including (subject to first having used all reasonable efforts to negotiate a resolution to any such objections) contesting and resisting any action or proceeding and to have vacated, lifted, reversed or overturned any decree, judgment, injunction or other Order, whether temporary, preliminary or permanent, that is in effect and that prohibits, prevents or restricts consummation of the Merger or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement and to have such statute, rule, regulation, decree, judgment, injunction or other Order repealed, rescinded or made inapplicable so as to permit consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(d) Limitations or Actions. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no party is required to, and the Company may not, without the prior written consent of Merger SPV, become subject to, consent or agree to,

or otherwise take any action with respect to, any requirement, condition, limitation, understanding, agreement or Order to sell, to hold separate or otherwise dispose of, or to conduct, restrict, operate, invest or otherwise change the assets or business of the Company or Merger SPV, or any of their Affiliates in any manner which, individually or in the aggregate with all other such requirements, conditions, understandings, agreements and Orders, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on the combined business, financial condition or results of operations of Merger SPV and the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Company will, upon the reasonable request of Merger SPV, become subject to, or consent or agree to or otherwise take any action with respect to, any requirement, condition, understanding, agreement or Order to sell, to hold separate or otherwise dispose of, or to conduct, restrict, operate, invest or otherwise change the assets or business of the Company or any of its Affiliates, so long as such requirement, condition, understanding, agreement or Order is binding on the Company only in the event that the Closing occurs.

(e) Action as to Laws. The Company and the Company Board shall (i) use reasonable best efforts to ensure that no state takeover Law or similar Law is or becomes applicable to this Agreement, the Merger or any of the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and (ii) if any state takeover Law or similar Law becomes applicable to this Agreement, the Merger or any of the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, use reasonable best efforts to ensure that the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement may be consummated as promptly as practicable on the terms contemplated by this Agreement and otherwise to minimize the effect of such Law on this Agreement, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Section 7.04 Indemnification Exculpation and Insurance.

(a) Assumption. Merger SPV acknowledges and agrees that the Surviving Corporation shall by operation of law assume the obligations with respect to all rights to indemnification, defense and exculpation from liabilities, including advancement of expenses, for acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Effective Time now existing in favor of the current or former directors, officers, employees or agents of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (each an “Indemnified Party”) to the same extent as provided in the Company’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ certificate or articles of incorporation, bylaws or other organizational documents or any indemnification Contract between such Indemnified Parties (in each case, as in effect on the date of this Agreement), without further action, as of the Effective Time and such obligations shall survive the Merger and shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with their terms for a period of not less than six (6) years from the Effective Time and that all rights to indemnification, defense or exculpation, as well as to advancement of expenses (including, but not limited to, legal fees), in respect of any action pending or asserted or any claim made within such period shall continue until the full, final and non-appealable disposition of such action or resolution of such claim.

(b) Effect on Successor. 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 other assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, the Surviving Corporation shall not consummate any such action unless the Surviving Corporation shall cause proper provision to be made so that the successors and assigns of the Surviving Corporation shall expressly assume the obligations set forth in this Section 7.04 and shall not terminate or modify such obligations in a manner as to adversely affect any Indemnified Party.

(c) Insurance. Merger SPV, on behalf of the Surviving Corporation, shall obtain as of the Closing Date a prepaid “tail” insurance policy with a claims period of six (6) years from the Closing Date with at least the same coverage and amounts, and containing terms and conditions that are not less advantageous to the directors and officers of the Company, in each case with respect to claims arising out of or relating to events which occurred on or prior to the Closing Date (including in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement). At the Closing, Merger SPV shall deliver to the Company evidence of such tail insurance coverage reasonably satisfactory to the Company.

(d) Benefit. The provisions of this Section 7.04 (i) are intended to be for the benefit of, and will be enforceable by, each Indemnified Party, his or her heirs and his or her representatives, and (ii) are in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other rights that any such Person may have by Contract or otherwise, including, without limitation, rights to indemnification or contribution. It is expressly agreed that the Indemnified Parties shall be third party beneficiaries of this Section 7.04. The agreements and covenants contained in this Section 7.04 shall not be deemed to be exclusive of any other rights to which any Indemnified Party is entitled, whether pursuant to Law, Contract or otherwise. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to, shall be construed to or shall release, waive or impair any rights to directors’ and officers’ insurance claims under any policy that is or has been in existence with respect to the Company or its officers, directors and employees, it being understood and agreed that the indemnification provided for in this Section 7.04 is not prior to, or in substitution for, any such claim under any such policies.

Section 7.05 Fees and Expenses. All Expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be paid by the party incurring such Expenses, whether or not the Merger is consummated. The Company shall pay any and all Expenses reasonably incurred and duly documented by the Special Committee or such other members of the Company Board in connection with the Merger, including but not limited to the reasonable fees and expenses of the Financial Advisor and counsel to the Special Committee, provided such expenses shall not exceed $425,000. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that this Agreement is terminated by Merger SPV pursuant to Section 9.1(f) hereunder and, within 12 months after the termination of this Agreement, the Company enters into a Company Acquisition Transaction to sell all or substantially all of its capital stock or assets the Company shall pay the Merger SPV any and all Expenses reasonably incurred and duly documented by the Merger SPV in connection with the Merger up to a maximum of $75,000.

Section 7.06 Public Announcements. Merger SPV and the Company shall consult with each other before issuing, and give each other the opportunity to review and comment upon, any press release or other public statements with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the Merger, and shall not issue any such press release or make any such public statement prior to such consultation, except as such party may reasonably conclude may be required by applicable Law, court process or by obligations pursuant to any listing agreement with any national securities exchange. The parties agree that the initial press release to be issued with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be in the form heretofore agreed to by the parties.

Neither the Company, on the one hand, nor Merger SPV, on the other hand, may rely on the failure of any condition set forth in Section 8.01, Section 8.02 or Section 8.03, as the case may be, to be satisfied if such failure was caused by such party’s failure to act in good faith or use its reasonable best efforts to consummate the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, as required by and subject to Section 7.03.

ARTICLE IX

TERMINATION, AMENDMENT AND WAIVER

Section 9.01 Termination. This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Effective Time, whether before or after receipt of the Stockholder Approval:

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

(b) by either Merger SPV or the Company:

(i) if the Merger shall not have been consummated on or before December 31, 2013 (the “Outside Date”); provided, however that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 9.01(b)(i) shall not be available to any party whose breach of a representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation in this Agreement has (directly or indirectly) in whole or in material part been a cause of or resulted in the failure of the Merger to be consummated on or before such date;

(ii) if the Stockholder Approval shall not have been obtained at the Stockholders’ Meeting duly convened therefor or at any adjournment or postponement thereof; or

(iii) if any Governmental Entity of competent jurisdiction shall have issued or entered an injunction or similar legal restraint or order permanently enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the consummation of the Merger and such injunction, legal restraint or order shall have become final and non-appealable; provided, however, that the party seeking to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.01(b)(iii) shall have used such reasonable best efforts as may be required by Section 7.03 to prevent, oppose and remove such injunction;

(c) by Merger SPV, if the Company shall have breached or failed to perform any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements set forth in this Agreement, which breach or failure to perform (i) would give rise to the failure of any condition set forth in Section 8.02, and (ii) is uncured or incapable of being cured by the Company prior to the earlier to occur of (A) thirty (30) calendar days following receipt of written notice of such breach or failure to perform from Merger SPV, or (B) the Outside Date; provided, however, that Merger SPV shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.01(c) if it is then in breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or other agreement contained in this Agreement that would cause any of the conditions in Section 8.03 not to be satisfied;

(d) by the Company, if Merger SPV shall have breached or failed to perform any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements set forth in this Agreement, which breach or failure to perform (i) would give rise to the failure of any condition set forth in Section 8.03, and (ii) is uncured or incapable of being cured by Merger SPV prior to the earlier to occur of (A) thirty (30) calendar days following receipt of written notice of such breach or failure to perform from the Company, or (B) the Outside Date; provided, however, that the Company shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.01(d) if it is then in breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or other agreement contained in this Agreement that would cause any of the conditions in Section 8.02 not to be satisfied;

(e) prior to obtaining the Stockholder Approval, by the Company, in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions of, Section 6.02(e), provided, however, that substantially concurrently with such termination the Company enters into such Company Acquisition Transaction; or

(f) by Merger SPV, in the event that (i) the Special Committee or the Company Board shall have made a Change in Recommendation (or publicly proposes to make a Change in Recommendation), or (ii) the Company shall have failed to comply with Section 7.01(c) to include the Company Board Recommendation in the Proxy Statement.

Section 9.02 Effect of Termination. In the event of termination of this Agreement by either the Company or Merger SPV as provided in Section 9.01, this Agreement shall forthwith become void and have no effect, without any liability or obligation on the part of Merger SPV or the Company or their directors, officers or stockholders, under this Agreement, other than the provisions of Section 7.02(b), Section 7.05, this Section 9.02 and Article X, which provisions shall survive such termination.

Section 9.03 Amendment. This Agreement may be amended by the parties hereto at any time before or after receipt of the Stockholder Approval; provided, however, that after the Stockholder Approval shall have been obtained, there shall be made no amendment that by applicable Law requires further approval by the stockholders of the Company without such approval having been obtained. This Agreement may not be amended except by an instrument in writing signed on behalf of each of the parties hereto.

Section 9.04 Extension; Waiver. At any time prior to the Effective Time, the parties may (i) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the other parties, (ii) to the extent permitted by applicable Law, waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties contained herein or in any document delivered pursuant hereto, or (iii) subject to the proviso to the first sentence of Section 9.03 and to the extent permitted by applicable Law, waive compliance with any of the agreements or conditions contained herein, except those agreements or conditions, which by their terms are not waivable. Any agreement on the part of a party to any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed on behalf of such party. The failure of any party to this Agreement to assert any of its rights under this Agreement or otherwise shall not constitute a waiver of such rights nor shall any single or partial exercise by any party to this Agreement of any of its rights under this Agreement preclude any other or further exercise of such rights or any other rights under this Agreement.

Section 9.05 Procedure for Termination or Amendment. A termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.01 or an amendment of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.03 shall, in order to be effective, require, in the case of Merger SPV, action by its board of directors, and in the case of the Company, action by the Special Committee or the Company Board.

Section 10.03 Consents and Approvals. For any matter under this Agreement requiring the consent or approval of any party to be valid and binding on the parties hereto, such consent or approval must be in writing.

Section 10.04 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (including by facsimile or e-mail), all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when two or more counterparts have been signed by all of the parties and delivered to the other parties.

Section 10.05 Entire Agreement; No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement (including the Schedules) and any agreements entered into contemporaneously herewith constitute the entire agreement, and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement. Except for (i) following the Effective Time, the rights of the Company’s stockholders to receive the Merger Consideration in accordance with Section 3.01(a)(i), and (ii) the provisions of Section 7.04 hereof, this Agreement (including the Schedules) is not intended to and does not confer upon any Person other than the parties hereto any legal or equitable rights or remedies.

Section 10.06 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to the conflict of law principles that would require the application of the law of another jurisdiction.

Section 10.07 Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder shall be assigned, in whole or in part, by operation of law or otherwise by any of the parties without the prior written consent of the other party, and any assignment without such consent shall be null and void; provided, however, that Merger SPV may assign any of its rights, interest and obligations under this Agreement or any related documents to any of its Affiliates without the consent of the Company, but no such assignment shall relieve the assigning party of its obligations hereunder. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the parties and their respective successors and assigns.

Section 10.08 Enforcement; Consent to Jurisdiction. The parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the parties to this Agreement shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement, in addition to any other remedy at law or equity. In any action or proceeding between any of the parties arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, each of the parties hereto (i) irrevocably and unconditionally consents and submits to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, New Castle County, or, if that court does not have jurisdiction, a federal court sitting in Wilmington, Delaware (the “Chosen Courts”), (ii) agrees that it will not attempt to deny or defeat such jurisdiction by motion or other request for leave from any such Chosen Courts, and (iii) agrees that it will not bring any action relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in any court other than the Chosen Courts. Any judgment from any such Chosen Court described above may, however, be enforced by any party in any other court in any other jurisdiction.

Section 10.09 Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of law or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law in an acceptable manner to the end that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are fulfilled to the extent possible.

Section 10.10 No Recourse. This Agreement may only be enforced against, and any claims or causes of action that may be based upon, arise out of or relate to this Agreement, or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement may only be made against the entities that are expressly identified as parties hereto, and no past, present or future Affiliate, director, officer, employee, incorporator, member, manager, partner, shareholder, agent, attorney or representative of any party hereto shall have any liability for any obligations or liabilities of the parties to this Agreement or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, the transactions contemplated hereby.

Section 10.11 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING BETWEEN THE PARTIES HERETO ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.
