ARTICLE II

EXCHANGE OF CERTIFICATES

Section 2.1 Paying Agent. Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall appoint the Paying Agent to act as paying agent for the payment of the Merger Consideration upon surrender of the Certificates or, in the case of lost, stolen or destroyed Certificates, upon delivery of an affidavit of loss (and, if required, the posting of a bond or delivery of an indemnity agreement), pursuant

- 6 -

to this Article II. At or prior to the Closing, Parent shall deposit cash in an amount sufficient to pay the aggregate consideration payable to holders shares of Company Stock, Company Stock Options and Company Restricted Stock Units become entitled to under Article I (such cash being hereinafter referred to as the “Exchange Fund”) in exchange for outstanding shares of Company Stock, Company Stock Options and Company Restricted Stock Units. Until disbursed in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, such funds shall be invested by the Paying Agent solely in obligations of the United States of America with maturities of 90 days or less (e.g., treasury bills). Any income from investment of the Exchange Fund will be payable solely to Parent. The Exchange Fund shall not be used for any purpose except as expressly provided in this Agreement.

Section 2.2 Exchange Procedures.

(a) As soon as practicable after the Effective Time and in any event within three (3) Business Days of the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Paying Agent to mail to each holder of record of a Certificate or Certificates that, immediately prior to the Effective Time, represented outstanding shares of Company Stock subsequently converted into the right to receive the applicable consideration pursuant to Section 1.4: (i) a letter of transmittal (a “Letter of Transmittal”) that (A) 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 (or an affidavit of loss in lieu thereof, together with any bond or indemnity agreement, as contemplated by Section 2.6) and (B) shall be in such form as the Surviving Corporation may reasonably specify; and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates in exchange for the applicable consideration pursuant to Section 1.4.

(b) Upon surrender of a Certificate for cancellation to the Paying Agent, together with a Letter of Transmittal, duly completed and executed, and any other documents reasonably required by the Paying Agent or the Surviving Corporation, (i) the holder of such Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor a check representing the applicable amount of cash that such holder has the right to receive pursuant to Section 1.4 and (ii) the Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be canceled. No interest will be paid or accrued on the cash payable upon surrender of the Certificates. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 2.2, each such Certificate shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive upon such surrender the applicable consideration pursuant to Section 1.4.

(c) In the event of a transfer of ownership of shares of Company Stock that is not registered in the transfer records of the Company, the appropriate amount of consideration payable pursuant to Section 1.4 may be paid to a transferee if the Certificate representing such shares of Company Stock is presented to the Paying Agent properly endorsed or accompanied by appropriate stock powers and otherwise in proper form for transfer and accompanied by all documents reasonably required by the Paying Agent to evidence and effect such transfer and to evidence that any applicable Taxes have been paid.

- 7 -

Section 2.3 No Further Ownership Rights. All consideration paid upon the surrender for exchange of the Certificates representing shares of Company Stock in accordance with the terms hereof shall be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such shares of Company Stock and, after the Effective Time, there shall be no further registration of transfers on the transfer books of the Surviving Corporation of the shares of Company Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, other than transfers to reflect, in accordance with customary settlement procedures, trades effected prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates are presented to the Surviving Corporation for any reason, they shall be canceled and exchanged as provided in this Article II, subject to applicable Law in the case of Dissenter Shares.

Section 2.4 Termination of Exchange Fund. Any portion of the Exchange Fund (including any interest and other income received with respect thereto) that remains undistributed to the former Company Stockholders on the date 365 days after the Effective Time shall be delivered to the Surviving Corporation upon demand, and any former holder of shares of Company Stock who has not theretofore received any applicable consideration to which such Company Stockholder is entitled under this Article II shall thereafter look only to the Surviving Corporation (subject to abandoned property, escheat or other similar Laws) for payment of claims with respect thereto and only as a general creditor thereof.

Section 2.5 No Liability. None of Parent, the Surviving Corporation or Merger Sub shall be liable to any holder of shares of Company Stock for any part of the consideration payable pursuant to Section 1.4 that may be delivered to a public official pursuant to and in accordance with any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law. Any amounts remaining unclaimed by holders of any such shares of Company Stock three (3) years after the Effective Time or at such earlier date as is immediately prior to the time at which such amounts would otherwise escheat to, or become property of, any Governmental Entity shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law or Order, become the property of the Surviving Corporation free and clear of any claims or interest of any such holders or their successors, assigns or personal representatives previously entitled thereto, and, to the extent required by applicable Law or Order, any holder of shares of Company Stock shall thereafter look only to the Surviving Corporation for payment of the consideration payable pursuant to Section 1.4.

Section 2.6 Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. If any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by and at the discretion of Parent or the Surviving Corporation, the posting by such Person of a bond in such reasonable amount as Parent or the Surviving Corporation may direct, or the execution and delivery by such Person of an indemnity agreement in such reasonable form as Parent or the Surviving Corporation may direct, in each case as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, the Paying Agent shall issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate the appropriate amount of the consideration payable pursuant to Section 1.4.

Section 2.7 Withholding of Tax. Parent, the Surviving Corporation, any Affiliate thereof or the Paying Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration payable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder of shares of Company Stock and or Company Stock Options such amounts as Parent, the Surviving Corporation, any Affiliate thereof or the

- 8 -

Paying Agent is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code or any provision of state, local or foreign Tax Law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld, such withheld amounts shall be (a) paid over to the applicable Governmental Entity in accordance with applicable Law or Order and (b) treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.

ARTICLE III

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Company, after consultation with Parent, may adjourn or postpone the Company Stockholders Meeting to the extent necessary to ensure that any legally required supplement or amendment to the Proxy Statement is provided to the Company Stockholders or, if as of the time for which the Company Stockholders Meeting is originally scheduled (as set forth in the Proxy Statement), there are insufficient shares of Company Stock (i) represented (either in person or by proxy) to constitute a quorum necessary to conduct the business of the Company Stockholders Meeting or (ii) voted to adopt this Agreement.

(b) The Company agrees that none of the information included or incorporated by reference in the Proxy Statement will (except to the extent revised or superseded by amendments or supplements contemplated hereby), at the date the Proxy Statement is filed with the SEC or mailed to the Company Shareholders or at the time of the Company Shareholders Meeting, or at the time of any amendment or supplement thereof, contain any untrue statement of material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading, provided, however, that the foregoing shall not apply to any information included or incorporated by reference in or omitted from the Proxy Statement based upon information supplied by Parent or Merger Sub. The Proxy Statement will comply in all material respects with the requirements of the Exchange Act.

- 38 -

any of the foregoing; provided, however, that nothing contained in this Section 5.6 shall prohibit the Company Board of Directors or any of the Company’s Representatives from (A) authorizing a communication with any party that is limited to making such party aware of the provisions of this Section 5.6(a); (B) furnishing information to (but only pursuant to a confidentiality agreement having terms and conditions with respect to confidentiality no less favorable to the Company than the Confidentiality Agreement and provided that the Company (i) shall promptly provide Parent with copies of any non-public information concerning the Company provided to any other party if and to the extent such information has not otherwise been previously provided to Parent, (ii) shall take reasonable precautions to protect such non-public information, and (iii) shall not provide any non-public or other confidential information that would result in any competitive harm or detriment to the Company’s ability to effectively compete in any of the Company’s or its Subsidiaries businesses as currently conducted or as currently proposed to be conducted) or entering into discussions or negotiations with any Third Party that makes an unsolicited bona fide Alternative Proposal, if the Company Board of Directors determines in good faith (after consulting with an outside financial advisor) that the Alternative Proposal is or presents a reasonable possibility of resulting in a Superior Proposal; and (C) to the extent required, taking and disclosing to the Company’s stockholders a position contemplated by Rule 14d-9 or Rule 14e-2 promulgated under the Exchange Act with regard to an Alternative Proposal, or making any other disclosure to the Company’s stockholders if, in the good faith judgment of the Company Board of Directors, after consulting with outside counsel, there is a reasonable basis to conclude that disclosure is required under applicable Law. The Company will promptly notify Parent after (i) receipt of an Alternative Proposal (including the identity of the Third Party making such Alternative Proposal and the material terms and conditions of such Alternative Proposal), (ii) any request for information relating to the Company (including non-public information) or for access to the properties, books or records of the Company by any Third Party that has made an Alternative Proposal, or (iii) receipt of any material amendment to a previously disclosed Alternative Proposal (including the terms of such amendment). The Company shall promptly (and in any event, within two (2) days) inform Parent of any change in the price, structure or form of consideration or any material change in the terms and conditions of such Alternative Proposal. Promptly upon determination by the Company Board of Directors that an Alternative Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal, the Company shall notify Parent that the Company Board of Directors has received a Superior Proposal, specifying in detail the terms and conditions of such Superior Proposal and the identity of the Person making such Superior Proposal. For the avoidance of doubt, no notice or information provided by the Company to Parent pursuant to this Section 5.6(a) shall constitute grounds or otherwise provide Parent with the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1(e). The Company agrees, during the two (2) Business Day period following Parent’s receipt of a notice of a Superior Proposal, to negotiate in good faith with Parent to revise this Agreement if and to the extent that the Company Board of Directors determines that such negotiations would be consistent with its fiduciary duties.

- 39 -

publicly to approve or recommend an Alternative Proposal unless the Board of Directors determines, in its good faith judgment (after consulting with outside legal counsel) that there is a reasonable basis to conclude that the failure to take such action would result in a reasonable possibility of a breach of the Board of Directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law. The parties hereto acknowledge that, for all purposes of this Agreement, the fact that the Company has supplied any Person with information regarding the Company or has entered into discussions or negotiations with such Person as permitted by this Agreement, or the disclosure of such facts, shall not be deemed in and of itself a withdrawal or modification of the Company Board of Directors’ approval or recommendation of this Agreement, the Merger or the transaction contemplated by the Transaction Documents.

(c) Subject to the provisions of this Section 5.6, the Parties acknowledge and agree that the Company may accept a Superior Proposal, enter into an agreement for such Superior Proposal and terminate this Agreement immediately prior to, or immediately after, such acceptance of a Superior Proposal pursuant to the terms of Section 7.1(d) hereof, provided, however, that the Company shall take no action under this Section 5.6(c) for two (2) Business Days after delivery of a written notice to Parent setting forth its intention to take such action.

(d) For purposes of this Agreement, “Alternative Proposal” shall mean any written inquiry, proposal or offer from any Third Party relating to any merger, consolidation or other business combination including the Company or any acquisition or similar transaction (including, without limitation, a tender or exchange offer) involving the purchase of (i) 50% or more of the assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries, if any, on a consolidated basis, or (ii) 50% or more of the outstanding Company Stock. For purposes of this Agreement, “Superior Proposal” shall mean any bona fide written Alternative Proposal that the Company Board of Directors determines (after consultation with an outside financial advisor and outside counsel), in its good faith judgment, is more favorable to the Company’s stockholders than the Merger.

(e) Except as expressly provided in this Section 5.6 or in Article VII, nothing in this Section 5.6 shall permit the Company or Parent to terminate this Agreement and no notice or other communication delivered by the Company pursuant to this Section 5.6 shall in and of itself permit Parent to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Article VII.

Section 5.7 Public Announcements. The Company and Parent shall consult with each other before issuing any press release or otherwise making any public statements with respect to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents and shall not issue any such press release or make any such public statement without the prior consent of the other party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided, however, that a party may, without the prior consent of the other party, issue such press release or make such public statement as may be required by Law or Order or the applicable rules of Nasdaq or any listing agreement if it has used its commercially reasonable efforts to consult with the other party and to obtain such party’s consent but has been unable to do so within a reasonable time in advance of the time that such press release or public statement is so required to be issued or made. The restrictions set forth in this Section 5.7 shall not apply to any release or

- 40 -

announcement made or proposed to be made by the Company pursuant to Section 5.5 or Section 5.6; provided that the Company agrees to use reasonable efforts to provide Parent with advance notice of any release or announcement proposed to be made by the Company pursuant to Section 5.5 or Section 5.6.

Section 5.8 Litigation. Each of Parent, Merger Sub and the Company agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to defend any lawsuits or other legal proceedings, whether judicial or administrative, challenging, or seeking damages or other relief as a result of, the Merger, this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, including seeking to have any Order adversely affecting the ability of the parties to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents entered by any court or other Governmental Entity promptly vacated or reversed.

(a) After the Effective Time and through the end of the fiscal year of Parent in which the Effective Time occurs, the Surviving Corporation shall provide to individuals who are employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries at the Effective Time and whose employment will continue following the Effective Time, employee benefits (other than Company Option Plans) that will, in the aggregate, be substantially similar to those provided by Parent and its Subsidiaries to their employees.

(b) With respect to the plans in which the Company’s employees participate following the Effective Time, Parent acknowledges that it shall (i) recognize all service performed for the Company prior to the Effective Time for eligibility and vesting purposes, (ii) waive any pre-existing condition exclusions (other than pre-existing conditions that, as of the Effective Time, have not been satisfied under any Company Benefit Plan) and (iii) provide that any deductible, coinsurance or out-of-pocket expenses incurred on or before the Effective Time during the plan year in which the Effective Time occurs under any applicable Company Benefit Plan providing health benefits will be taken into account for purposes of satisfying applicable deductible, coinsurance and maximum out-of-pocket provisions.

(c) Nothing in this Section 5.9 or any other provision of this Agreement shall create any third-party beneficiary right for the benefit of any Person other than the parties to this Agreement, or any right to employment or continued employment or to a particular term or condition of employment with Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective Subsidiaries or Affiliates. Nothing in this Section 5.9 or any other provision of this Agreement (i) shall be construed to establish, amend, or modify any benefit or compensation plan, program, agreement or arrangement, or (ii) shall limit the ability of Parent or any of its Affiliates (including, following the Closing, the Surviving Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries) to amend, modify or terminate any benefit or compensation plan, program, agreement or arrangement at any time assumed, established, sponsored or maintained by any of them.

Section 5.10 Directors’ and Officers’ Indemnification and Insurance.

(a) For a period of six (6) years from and after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall indemnify, advance expenses to, and hold harmless all past and present officers and directors of the Company (“Indemnified Persons”) to the same extent and in the same manner such persons are indemnified as of the date of this Agreement by the Company pursuant to any indemnification agreements between the Company and its directors and officers as of the date hereof, the DGCL, the Company Certificate of Incorporation and the Company Bylaws for acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Effective Time; provided, however, in the case of advancement of expenses, any person to whom expenses are advanced provides an undertaking, to the extent required by the DGCL, to repay such advance if it is ultimately determined that such person is not entitled to indemnification. Parent guarantees the indemnification, insurance, advancement and other obligations of the Surviving Corporation set forth in this Section 5.10. The Certificate of Incorporation and the Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation will contain provisions with respect to exculpation, advancement and indemnification that are at least as favorable to the Indemnified Persons as those contained in the Company Certificate of Incorporation and the Company Bylaws as in effect on the date hereof, which provisions will not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified for a period of not less than six (6) years from the Effective Time in any manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of individuals who, immediately prior to the Effective Time, were directors, officers, employees or agents of the Company, unless such a modification is required by Law.

(b) For a period of six (6) years from the Effective Time, Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Surviving Corporation to maintain in effect (or Parent may instead elect to maintain pursuant to Parent’s policy or policies) the current policies of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance and fiduciary liability insurance maintained by the Company (the “D&O Insurance”) with respect to matters arising on or before the Effective Time; provided, however, that after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall not be required to pay annual premiums in excess of 300% of the last annual premium paid by the Company prior to the date of this Agreement in respect of the coverages required to be obtained pursuant hereto, but in such case shall purchase as much coverage as reasonably practicable for such amount. Subsequent to the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation may purchase a six-year “tail” fully prepaid policy on the D&O Insurance on terms and conditions no less advantageous than the D&O Insurance, and in such case, Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to maintain in effect such “tail” policy in full force and effect and continue to honor its obligations thereunder, in lieu of all other obligations of Parent under the first sentence of this Section 5.10(b) for so long as such “tail” policy shall be maintained in full force and effect. Prior to the Effective Time, notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, the Company may purchase a six-year “tail” fully prepaid policy on the D&O Insurance from its current D&O Insurance provider or, subject to Parent’s consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) from any other insurance provider.

This Agreement may not be amended, changed or supplemented or otherwise modified except by an instrument in writing signed on behalf of all of the parties.

Section 7.5 Extension; Waiver. At any time prior to the Effective Time, each of the Company, Parent and Merger Sub may (a) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the other party, (b) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties of the other party contained in this Agreement or in any document delivered pursuant to this Agreement, or (c) subject to the provisions of Section 7.4, waive compliance with any of the agreements or conditions of the other parties contained in this Agreement.
