AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER

This AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of June 16, 2008, by and among LUCENT TECHNOLOGIES INC., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), MAGIC ACQUISITION SUBSIDIARY INC., a Delaware corporation and a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub” and together with Parent, the “Purchasers”), and MOTIVE, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”).

RECITALS:

A. The respective boards of directors or other governing body or entity of Merger Sub and Parent have (i) determined that it is advisable for Merger Sub and Parent to enter into this Agreement, (ii) approved the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, and (iii) deem it advisable that Parent and Merger Sub acquire the Company upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement.

B. The Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) has (i) determined that it is advisable for the Company to enter into this Agreement, (ii) approved the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, and (iii) determined to recommend that the holders of Common Shares (as defined below) accept the Offer (as defined below) and tender their Common Shares to Merger Sub pursuant to the Offer.

C. Parent has agreed, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, to cause Merger Sub to commence a cash tender offer (such tender offer, as it may be amended and supplemented from time to time in accordance with this Agreement, the “Offer”) to purchase any and all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company (the “Common Shares”), at a price of $2.23 per Common Share, net to the sellers in cash (such price, as it may be adjusted in accordance with this Agreement, the “Offer Price”).

D. Parent has agreed, following the successful completion of the Offer and, if applicable, the exercise of the Top-Up Option (as defined below), to cause Merger Sub to merge with and into the Company, with the Company as the Surviving Corporation (as defined below) (the “Merger”), in accordance with Section 253 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”), and each Common Share that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (as defined below) shall be cancelled and converted into the right to receive the Offer Price without interest (except that (i) any Common Shares owned directly or indirectly by Parent, Merger Sub or the Company shall be cancelled with no consideration issued in exchange therefor and (ii) any Common Shares held by holders who comply with the provisions of the DGCL regarding the right of stockholders to dissent from the Merger and require appraisal of their shares shall be cancelled subject to the applicable provisions of this Agreement and the DGCL), subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein.

E. The Board has (i) determined that its approval of this Agreement is sufficient to render inapplicable to this Agreement, the Offer, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement any restriction arising from Section 203 of the DGCL and (ii) elected that the Offer and the Merger not be subject to any Takeover Statutes (as defined below) that may purport to be applicable to this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties to this Agreement agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

THE OFFER AND THE MERGER

Section 1.1 The Offer.

(a) Provided that this Agreement shall not have been terminated in accordance with Section 7.1, and none of the events set forth in clauses (b)(iv), (b)(v), (b)(vi), (b)(viii) (to the extent performance is required theretofore) and (b)(xi) of Annex I hereto shall have occurred and be continuing, within thirty (30) days following the execution of this Agreement (or such other later date as the parties may mutually agree in writing), Parent shall cause Merger Sub to, and Merger Sub shall, commence (within the meaning of Rule 14d-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (together with the rules and regulations thereunder, the “Exchange Act”)) an offer to purchase all issued and outstanding Common Shares at the Offer Price. The Offer Price shall be net to the seller in cash, subject to reduction only for any applicable taxes. Subject to Section 1.1(b), the obligations of Merger Sub to accept for payment and pay for any Common Shares tendered pursuant to the Offer shall be subject only to the satisfaction or waiver of those conditions set forth in Annex I (the “Tender Offer Conditions”). The Company agrees that no Common Shares held by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (other than any Common Shares held on behalf of third parties) shall be tendered pursuant to the Offer.

(b) Parent and Merger Sub expressly reserve the right from time to time, subject to Sections 1.1(c) and (d), to waive any Tender Offer Condition or increase the Offer Price; provided that, without the prior written consent of the Company, Merger Sub shall not, and Parent shall cause Merger Sub not to, (i) decrease the Offer Price or change the form of consideration payable in the Offer, (ii) decrease the number of Common Shares sought to be purchased in the Offer, (iii) amend or waive satisfaction of the Minimum Condition (as defined in Annex I), except that Merger Sub may on a single occasion irrevocably decrease the Minimum Condition to a level not less than the sum of (x) 15,493,417 Common Shares plus (y) the total number of Common Shares, if any, issued or to be issued prior to the Expiration Date pursuant to a notice, duly and validly given after the date of this Agreement and on or prior to the Expiration Date (and not subsequently withdrawn) by a holder of a Company Option or Warrant to the Company of election to exercise a Company Option or Warrant after the date of this Agreement and prior to the Expiration Date (the “Lowered Minimum Condition”); (iv) impose additional conditions to the Offer or (v) cause any modification of or amendment to the Offer that would require an extension or delay of the then current Expiration Date (other than an increase in the Offer Price or a one-time decrease in the Minimum Condition to an amount not less than the Lowered Minimum Condition).

(c) On the date of commencement of the Offer, but after affording the Company reasonable opportunity to review and comment thereon, the Purchasers shall file or cause to be filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) a Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO with respect to the Offer (together with all amendments and supplements thereto, the “Schedule TO”), together with a related letter of transmittal, summary advertisement and other ancillary documents and instruments pursuant to which the Offer shall be made, and the Purchasers shall make all deliveries, mailings and telephonic notices required by Rule 14d-3 under the Exchange Act (the Schedule TO and such other documents, deliveries, mailings and notices, together with any supplements or amendments thereto, the “Offer Documents”), in each case in compliance in all material respects with the provisions of all applicable Federal and other securities laws (other than with respect to the accuracy or completeness of information supplied by the Company for inclusion or incorporation by reference into the Schedule TO or any of the Offer Documents). The Purchasers agree to disseminate the Offer Documents to holders of Common Shares as and to the extent required by applicable Federal and other securities laws. Parent, Merger Sub and the Company each agree promptly to correct any information provided by such party for use in the Offer Documents if and to the extent that any such information shall have become false or misleading in any material respect, and the Purchasers shall take all steps necessary to cause the Schedule TO and the other Offer Documents, as so corrected or supplemented, to be filed with the SEC and disseminated to holders of Common Shares, in each case if and to the extent required by applicable Federal and other securities laws. The Company and its counsel shall be given a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on any and all of the Offer Documents (including each amendment or supplement thereto) before they are filed with the SEC or disseminated to holders of Common Shares. The Purchasers shall provide the Company with (in writing, if written), and shall consult with the Company regarding, any comments (written or oral) that may be received by Parent, Merger Sub or their counsel from the SEC or its staff with respect to any of the Offer Documents (and any amendments or supplements thereto) as promptly as practicable after receipt thereof. The Company and its counsel shall be given a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on any such written and oral comments and proposed responses.

(d) Expiration of the Offer.

(i) The Offer shall provide for an initial expiration date on the twentieth (20^th) Business Day following (and including the day of) the commencement of the Offer (determined in accordance with Rule 14d-1(g)(3) under the Exchange Act) (such date, or such subsequent date to which the expiration of the Offer is extended in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the “Expiration Date”). Merger Sub shall not, and Parent agrees that it shall cause Merger Sub not to, terminate or withdraw the Offer other than in connection with a termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 7.1. Except as expressly provided in Section 1.1(b) above, Parent shall cause Merger Sub not to, and Merger Sub shall not, extend the Offer if at any Expiration Date all of the Tender Offer Conditions shall have been satisfied or waived and it is permitted under applicable Law to accept for payment and pay for Common Shares tendered in the Offer and not validly withdrawn.

(ii) Notwithstanding Section 1.1(d)(i), so long as this Agreement has not been terminated in accordance with Section 7.1, Parent shall cause Merger Sub to, and Merger Sub shall, extend the Offer beyond any scheduled Expiration Date at any time, and from time to time:

(A) if at any such scheduled Expiration Date, any of the Tender Offer Conditions shall not then have been satisfied or waived; provided that, any such extension shall be in increments of not more than twenty (20) Business Days, or ten (10) Business Days for any such extension made after September 30, 2008 (in each case, unless (1) within a shorter period of time, all Tender Offer Conditions are reasonably expected by both Parent and the Company to be satisfied or waived, in which case such extension shall be made until the date five (5) Business Days following such expected satisfaction or waiver or (2) a longer period is agreed to by the Company in writing, such agreement not to be unreasonably withheld); provided, further, that the Offer shall be extended and re-extended in accordance with this Section 1.1(d)(ii)(A) until the earlier of the time that (x) the Tender Offer Conditions are satisfied or waived as of an applicable Expiration Date or (y) it becomes reasonably apparent that the Tender Offer Conditions are not reasonably capable of being satisfied by the End Date; or

(B) for any period required by any rule, regulation, interpretation or position of the SEC or its staff applicable to the Offer.

(iii) In the event Merger Sub is not obligated to extend the Offer pursuant to Section 1.1(d)(ii) at any scheduled Expiration Date and not prohibited from extending the Offer pursuant to the last sentence of Section 1.1(d)(i), Parent may, at its discretion, cause Merger Sub to, and Merger Sub may, extend the Offer beyond any scheduled Expiration Date at any time, and from time to time; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 1.1(d)(iii) shall affect the rights of the parties to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1 hereof.

(iv) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, unless this Agreement has been terminated in accordance with Section 7.1, the offering period of the Offer shall be tolled for and during any period that a Governmental Entity of competent jurisdiction shall have enacted, issued or entered any temporary restraining order or preliminary injunction or similar order or legal restraint or prohibition that remains in effect and that enjoins or otherwise prohibits consummation of the Offer.

(v) Nothing contained in this Section 1.1(d) shall affect any termination rights in Article VII.

(e) Subject solely to the satisfaction or waiver of the Tender Offer Conditions in accordance with Section 1.1(b), as soon as practicable after the applicable Expiration Date, (i) Parent shall cause Merger Sub to, and Merger Sub shall, accept for payment and pay for all Common Shares validly tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to the Offer (the date of such acceptance for payment, the “Acceptance Date”). Parent shall provide or cause to be provided to Merger Sub on a timely basis the funds necessary to purchase any and all Common Shares that Merger Sub becomes obligated to purchase pursuant to the Offer.

Section 1.2 Company Actions.

(a) As promptly as practicable following the filing of the Schedule TO with the SEC pursuant to Section 1.1(c) and subject to the remainder of this Section 1.2(a), the Company shall file with the SEC a Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9 with respect to the Offer (together with all amendments or supplements thereto, the “Schedule 14D-9”), in compliance in all material respects with the provisions of all applicable Federal and other securities laws (other than with respect to the accuracy or completeness of information supplied by Parent or Merger Sub specifically for inclusion or incorporation by reference into the Schedule 14D-9). The Schedule 14D-9 shall contain the Board Recommendation, subject to any Change of Recommendation permitted by this Agreement. The Company agrees to disseminate the Schedule 14D-9 to the stockholders of the Company reasonably promptly after the commencement of the Offer in accordance with Rule 14d-9 under the Exchange Act and any other applicable Federal or other securities laws. To the extent practicable, the Company shall cooperate with the Purchasers in mailing or otherwise disseminating the Schedule 14D-9 with the appropriate Offer Documents to the holders of Common Shares. The Company, Parent and Merger Sub each agree promptly to correct any information provided by it for use in the Schedule 14D-9, and if and to the extent that any such information shall have become false and misleading in any material respect, the Company shall take all steps necessary to cause the Schedule 14D-9, as so corrected or supplemented, to be filed with the SEC and disseminated to the holders of Common Shares as and to the extent required by applicable Federal and other securities laws. The Purchasers and their counsel shall be given a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on the Schedule 14D-9 (and any amendments or supplements thereto) before it is filed with the SEC or disseminated to holders of Common Shares. The Company shall provide Parent and Merger Sub (in writing, if written), and consult with Parent and Merger Sub regarding, any comments (written or oral) the Company or its counsel may receive from the SEC or its staff with respect to the Schedule 14D-9 (and any amendments or supplements thereto) as promptly as practicable after receipt of such comments. Parent and Merger Sub shall be given a reasonable opportunity to review any such written and oral comments and proposed responses.

(b) In connection with the Offer, the Company shall, reasonably promptly following execution of this Agreement, furnish the Purchasers with (i) mailing labels containing the names and addresses of all record holders of Common Shares, the list of “non-objecting beneficial owners” and the security position listings of Common Shares held by stock depositories, each as of the most recent practicable date, and (ii) such additional available information, including updated names and addresses and lists of stockholders and security position listings, as the Purchasers may reasonably request for the purpose of communicating the Offer to the record and beneficial holders of Common Shares. Subject to the requirements of applicable Law, the Purchasers and their respective affiliates, associates, agents and advisors shall keep such information confidential and use such information only in connection with the Offer and the Merger.

Should the Offer terminate or if this Agreement shall be terminated, the Purchasers shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Company upon request all copies of such information then in their possession and, following such delivery, shall not retain any of such information.

(c) The Company shall, to the extent necessary, take all actions necessary to cause all Restricted Common Shares to become fully vested, and to cause all restrictions with respect to the Restricted Common Shares to terminate or lapse, immediately prior to the consummation of the Offer, and the Company shall make all required withholdings in connection therewith under applicable Tax Laws.

Section 1.3 Top-Up Option.

(a) Upon and subject to the occurrence of the Acceptance Date, the Company hereby grants to Merger Sub an irrevocable option (the “Top-Up Option”) to purchase, at a price per share equal to the Offer Price, a number of Common Shares (the “Top-Up Option Shares”) that, when added to the number of Common Shares then owned by Parent, Merger Sub and any wholly-owned Subsidiaries of Parent or Merger Sub at the time of exercise of the Top-Up Option, is equal to (x) 90% of the number of Common Shares that will be issued and outstanding immediately after the issuance of the Top-Up Option Shares on a fully-diluted basis (including all Common Shares issuable in respect of Company Options or Warrants) or (y) in the event that Merger Sub elects to decrease the Minimum Condition to the Lowered Minimum Condition, the number of unissued Common Shares that the Company is authorized to issue as of the Acceptance Date and which are not reserved for issuance pursuant to the exercise of Company Options or Warrants and which will constitute not less than 90% of the number of Common Shares that will be issued and outstanding upon the acceptance for payment by Merger Sub of the Common Shares tendered in the Offer (including the Top-Up Option Shares). The Top-Up Option may be exercised by Merger Sub, in whole or in part, at any time within five (5) Business Days following the Expiration Date (the date on which the Top-Up Option is exercised, the “Top-Up Option Exercise Date”); provided, however, that the obligation of the Company to deliver Top-Up Option Shares upon the exercise of the Top-Up Option is subject to the conditions that (i) neither any provision of any applicable Law nor any judgment, injunction, order or decree of any Governmental Entity shall prohibit the exercise of the Top-Up Option or the delivery of the Top-Up Option Shares in respect of such exercise, (ii) upon exercise of the Top-Up Option, the number of Common Shares owned by Parent, Merger Sub and any wholly-owned Subsidiaries of Parent or Merger Sub shall constitute at least 90% of the number of Common Shares that will be issued and outstanding immediately after the exercise of the Top-Up Option on a fully-diluted basis (including all Common Shares issuable in respect of Company Options or Warrants) (unless Merger Sub elects to decrease the Minimum Condition to the Lowered Minimum Condition, in which case such number of Common Shares shall constitute at least 90% of the number of Common Shares that will be issued and outstanding upon the acceptance for payment by Merger Sub of the Common Shares tendered in the Offer (including the Top-Up Option Shares)), (iii) Merger Sub has accepted for payment and paid for all Common Shares validly tendered in the Offer and not withdrawn and (iv) this Agreement has not been terminated in accordance with Section 7.1. The parties shall cooperate to ensure that the issuance of the Top-Up Option Shares is effected in a manner consistent with all applicable Law, including compliance with an applicable exemption from registration of the Top-Up Option Shares under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (together with the rules and regulations thereunder, the “Securities Act”).

(b) In connection with the exercise of the Top-Up Option in accordance with Section 1.3(a), Merger Sub shall give the Company a written notice of such exercise, which notice shall set forth (i) the number of Common Shares that are expected to be owned by Parent, Merger Sub or any wholly-owned Subsidiary of Parent or Merger Sub immediately preceding the exercise of the Top-Up Option and (ii) a place and time for the closing of the purchase of the Top-Up Option Shares. The Company

shall, as soon as practicable following receipt of such notice, notify Parent and Merger Sub of the number of Common Shares then issued and outstanding and the number of Top-Up Option Shares to be purchased in connection with such exercise. At the closing of the purchase of the Top-Up Option Shares, Merger Sub shall pay the Company the aggregate price required to be paid for the Top-Up Option Shares, and the Company shall cause to be issued to Parent or Merger Sub a certificate representing the Top-Up Option Shares. The purchase price for the Top-Up Option Shares attributable to the par value of each of the Top-Up Option Shares shall be payable by the Purchasers to the Company in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by the Company, and the balance of the aggregate purchase price payable for the Top-Up Option Shares may be paid by the Purchasers, at their option, either (x) in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by the Company or (y) by executing and delivering to the Company a promissory note having a principal amount equal to the balance of the aggregate purchase price of the Top-Up Shares and bearing interest at the per annum rate of interest publicly announced by JPMorgan Chase Bank, NA, in the City of New York, as such bank’s prime lending rate or, if no such announcement is made, the per annum rate of interest published in the Wall Street Journal (Eastern Edition), and designated as the prime rate, in each case as so announced or published at the time of execution and delivery of such promissory note. Any such promissory note shall mature on the first anniversary of the date of execution and delivery of such promissory note and may be prepaid without premium or penalty; provided that it is understood that such promissory note shall be cancelled upon the Closing (as defined below).

(a) Notwithstanding Section 5.3 or anything in this Agreement to the contrary, prior to the earlier of the Acceptance Date and the Termination Date, following the receipt of an unsolicited bona fide Alternative Proposal that did not result

from or arise in connection with a breach of Section 5.3 and that a majority of the members of the Board believes in good faith, after consultation with the Company’s outside counsel and financial advisors, constitutes or may reasonably be expected to lead to a Superior Proposal (such an Alternative Proposal, a “Qualifying Alternative Proposal”), the Company may, and may direct its Representatives to:

(b) The Board shall not effect a Change of Recommendation (other than with respect to a Company Intervening Event in compliance with Section 5.4(c) hereof) or approve, endorse, or recommend any Qualifying Alternative Proposal that the Board determines, in good faith after taking any of the actions described in clause (a) and in consultation with the Company’s outside counsel and financial advisors, constitutes a Superior Proposal, or enter into a definitive agreement providing for the implementation of such Superior Proposal unless (A) the Company has given Parent at least three (3) Business Days’ written notice advising Parent that the Board has determined that the Company has received a Superior Proposal, specifying the terms and conditions of such Superior Proposal and identifying the person or persons making such Superior Proposal, (B) the Company and its financial and legal advisors negotiate in good faith with Parent and its financial and legal advisors (to the extent Parent wishes to negotiate) to provide Parent the opportunity to make an Alternative Proposal in response to such Superior Proposal, and (C) Parent does not, within three (3) Business Days of Parent’s receipt of the notice referred to in clause (A), make an Alternative Proposal that a majority of the members of the Board determines in good faith, after consultation with outside counsel and financial advisors, to be at least as favorable to the Company’s stockholders as such Superior Proposal.

reasonably foreseeable as of or prior to the date hereof (and not relating to any Alternative Proposal) (such material development or material change in circumstances, a “Company Intervening Event”) effect a Change of Recommendation if the Board has concluded in good faith, after consultation with its outside counsel, that, in light of such Company Intervening Event, the failure of the Board to effect such Change of Recommendation would result in a breach of its fiduciary duties under applicable Law; provided that, the Board shall not be entitled to exercise its right to make a Change of Recommendation pursuant to this Section 5.4(c) unless the Company has (x) provided to Parent at least three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice advising Parent that the Board intends to take such action and specifying the reasons therefor in reasonable detail and (y) during such three (3) Business Day period, if requested by Parent, engaged in good faith negotiations with Parent and its financial and legal advisors to amend this Agreement in such a manner that obviates the need for a Change of Recommendation.

(e) Based on the action of the Company’s Board of Directors described in Section 3.2(c)(iii), the Company shall have available sufficient authorized but unissued and unreserved Company Shares from and after the Acceptance Date, which would, when added to a number of Common Shares constituting the Minimum Condition or the Lowered Minimum Condition, as applicable, permit the Company to issue the Top-Up Option Shares to the Merger Sub so as to permit the Merger Sub to consummate the Merger.

(a) Indemnity. From and after the Closing Date, the Surviving Corporation shall, and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, fulfill and honor in all respects, to the extent permitted or required by applicable Law, the existing obligations of the Company pursuant to any indemnification, exculpation and advancement of expenses provisions in favor of the current or former directors, officers, employees or agents of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any other person who, at the request of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, served as a director, officer, member, trustee or fiduciary of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust pension or other employee benefit plan or enterprise (the “Indemnified Parties”) under the Company Organizational Documents, the Subsidiary Organizational Documents or any agreement between an Indemnified Party and the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, in each case as in effect as of the date of this Agreement or as amended prior to the Effective Time with the consent of Parent, arising out of or pertaining to any action or omission, in his or her capacity as a current or former director, officer, employee or agent of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or, if service was at the request of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, a director, officer, member, trustee or fiduciary of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, pension or other employee benefit plan or enterprise, occurring at or before the Effective Time. The certificate of incorporation and by-laws of the Surviving Corporation shall contain provisions with respect to indemnification, exculpation and advancement of expenses that are at least as favorable to the Indemnified Parties as those contained in the Company Organizational Documents in effect on the date of this Agreement (and which shall expressly provide for advancement of expenses, including attorney’s fees, charges and disbursements, to former officers, directors, employees or agents subject only to delivery of an undertaking to repay such advanced expenses if the Indemnified Party is ultimately determined not to be entitled to indemnification under applicable Law), and such provisions shall not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified for a period of six (6) years from the Closing Date in any manner that would adversely affect the rights of the Indemnified Parties thereunder. Except with respect to the proceedings listed as items 1 and 2 on Section 3.10 of the Company Disclosure Letter, the Surviving Corporation shall not be liable for any settlement, compromise or agreement relating to an action or omission by an Indemnified Party which is effected without the Surviving Corporation’s prior written consent, other than settlements, compromises and agreements that are not in excess of $100,000 individually or $500,000 in the aggregate and are without the imposition of material equitable relief on, or the admission of wrongdoing by, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. If any claim for indemnification, exculpation or advancement of expenses is asserted or made within such six-year period, all rights with respect to indemnification, exculpation or advancement of expenses shall continue until the final disposition of the matters underlying such claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 5.8 shall, from and after the Effective Time, provide any Indemnified Party with any greater rights to indemnification for any matter for which the Company is providing indemnification or the advancement of fees as of the date of this Agreement unless Parent shall have otherwise consented thereto.

(b) Insurance.

(i) From the Acceptance Date and for a period of six (6) years after the Closing Date, Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to maintain in effect policies of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance with reputable and financially sound carriers covering those persons who are currently covered by such policies, of at least the same coverage, containing terms and conditions which are no less advantageous to the insured persons as those policies currently in effect; provided that Parent may, however, satisfy its obligations under the first sentence of this Section 5.8(b) by purchasing a “run-off” or “tail” policy under the Company’s existing directors’ and officers’ insurance policy which: (i) has an effective term of six (6) years from the Closing Date; (ii) covers those persons who are currently covered by the Company’s directors’ and officers’ insurance policies in effect as of the date of this Agreement; and (iii) contains terms and conditions (including coverage amounts) which are no less advantageous that those contained in the terms and conditions of the Company’s directors’ and officers’ insurance policies in effect as of the date of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Parent shall not be required to make annual premium payments for any such insurance or purchase such “tail” policy to the extent such premiums exceed 275% of the current annual premium paid by the Company, in which case Parent shall maintain as much comparable insurance as possible or purchase a “tail” policy with as much coverage as possible for such 275% of the annual premium of such current policy. If such “tail” policy has been obtained by the Company prior to the Acceptance Date, Parent and the Company (and after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation) shall maintain such “tail” policy in full force and effect for its full term and shall continue to honor the Company’s obligations thereunder.

(ii) Prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall purchase, at Parent’s expense, (a) a supplemental extended reporting period with respect to the errors and omissions insurance (“E&O ERP”) currently maintained by the Company and its respective subsidiaries that will be effective from the Closing Date for a period of two (2) years; provided, however, that Parent shall not be required to make annual premium payments for any such E&O ERP to the extent such premiums exceed 200% of the current annual premium paid by the Company for the errors and omissions insurance the Company currently maintains, and (b) a supplemental extended reporting period with respect to the special risk insurance policy (“Special Risk ERP”) currently maintained by the Company and its respective subsidiaries that will be effective from the Closing Date for a period of two (2) years; provided, however, that Parent shall not be required to make annual premium payments for any such Special Risk ERP to the extent such premiums exceed 200% of the current annual premium paid by the Company for the special risk insurance the Company currently maintains.

(c) If Parent or the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective successors or assigns (or any of their respective successors or assigns) (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger, or (ii) transfers all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, in each such case, proper provisions shall be made so that such successors and assigns shall succeed to the obligations set forth in this Section 5.8.

(d) The provisions of this Section 5.8 are intended to be (i) for the benefit of, and shall grant third party rights to and be enforceable by, each Indemnified Party and his or her heirs and representatives and (ii) 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. If any Indemnified Party makes any claim for indemnification, exculpation or advancement of expenses under this Section 5.8 that is denied by Parent or the Surviving Corporation, and a court of competent jurisdiction determines that the Indemnified Party is entitled to such indemnification, then Parent or the Surviving Corporation shall pay such Indemnified Party’s costs and expenses, including reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of legal counsel, incurred in connection with pursuing such claim against Parent or the Surviving Corporation.

Section 5.9 Employee Matters.

(a) On or before the Acceptance Date, to the extent permissible under applicable Law, the Company shall adopt resolutions to terminate any and all 401(k) plans maintained by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, to be effective as of the day immediately preceding the date the Company becomes a member of the same Controlled Group of Corporations (as defined in Section 414(b) of the Code) as Parent (the “401(k) Termination Date”). The Company shall provide Parent evidence that such resolutions to terminate the 401(k) plan(s) of the Company and its Subsidiaries have been adopted by the Board or the board of directors of its Subsidiaries, as applicable. The form and substance of such resolutions shall be subject to the approval of Parent acting reasonably. The Company shall also take such other actions in furtherance of terminating any such 401(k) Plans as Parent may reasonably request.

(b) For a period of twelve months following the Effective Time, the Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries to, provide the employees of the Parent or the Surviving Corporation or their respective Subsidiaries who shall have been employees of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries immediately prior to the Effective Time (“Continuing Employees”), while such Continuing Employees remain so employed, health, welfare and retirement benefits that are no less favorable, in the aggregate, than those provided by the Company and its Subsidiaries immediately prior to the Effective Time. Parent shall take, or cause the Company (and after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation) and its Subsidiaries to take, all necessary action so that each Continuing Employee shall, after the Closing Date, continue to be credited with the unused, accrued general and sick leave credited to such Continuing Employee as of the Acceptance Date and through the Closing Date under the applicable general and sick leave policies of the Company and its Subsidiaries. Parent shall take all necessary action so that, under each Parent Employee Plan in which Continuing Employees become eligible to participate upon or after the Closing, the Continuing Employees shall be given credit for all service with the Company and its Subsidiaries to the same extent as if such services had been rendered to Parent or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates for purposes of determining their rate of vacation accrual under Parent’s standard procedure, and for eligibility to participate in, and vesting for eligible benefits under, Parent’s 401(k) plan (if applicable). Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries: (i) to waive all limitations as to pre-existing

conditions, exclusions and waiting periods with respect to participation and coverage requirements applicable to the Continuing Employees under any group health plan in which such Continuing Employees may be eligible to participate after the Closing, to the same extent as waived under Parent group health plans for newly hired and similarly situated employees of Parent and its Subsidiaries; and (ii) to provide each Continuing Employee with credit under any group health plan in which such Continuing Employee becomes eligible to participate after the Closing for any co-payments and deductibles paid by such Continuing Employee for the then current plan year under the corresponding group health plan maintained by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries prior to the Closing. For purposes of this Section 5.9(b), the term “Parent Employee Plan” means any “employee pension benefit plan” (as defined in Section 3(2) of ERISA) and “employee welfare benefit plan” (as defined in Section 3(1) of ERISA) for the benefit of, or relating to, the employees of the Parent or its Subsidiaries and with respect to which eligibility has not been frozen.

(c) Without limiting the application of the provisions of Section 5.9(b), Parent shall and shall cause the Company (and after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation) and its Subsidiaries to (i) honor any and all written severance agreements of the Company and its Subsidiaries as in effect on the date of this Agreement and as set forth on Section 5.9(c)(i) of the Company Disclosure Letter, and honor all commitments under those agreements whenever due, and (ii) pay the annual incentive bonuses payable to any Employees for 2008 in accordance with the terms of the applicable bonus plans, programs and policies of the Company as in effect as of the date of this Agreement and as set forth on Section 5.9(c)(ii) of the Company Disclosure Letter.

(d) From and after the Closing Date, Parent assumes full responsibility for compliance with, as well as any liability which may exist under, the Workers Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act, P.L. 100-379, and any other similar state law on account of any Continuing Employee terminated after the Closing.

(e) The Company (and after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation) shall offer continuation health coverage (and satisfy any obligations thereunder) to the extent required under Section 4980B of the Code and Section 601 et seq. of ERISA (“COBRA”) with respect to any Employee who was employed at any time prior to the Closing Date (and his or her spouse and dependents) and who had a “qualifying event” within the meaning of Section 4980B on or prior to the Closing Date. Parent shall, or shall cause the Company (and after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation) and its Subsidiaries, to offer continuation health coverage (and satisfy any obligation thereunder) to the extent required under COBRA with respect to any Continuing Employee.

(f) Nothing contained herein shall be construed as requiring, and the Company shall take no action that would have the effect of requiring, Parent, the Surviving Corporation or their respective Subsidiaries to continue any specific employee benefit plans or to continue the employment of any specific Person.

Section 5.10 Section 16 Matters. The Company and, after the Acceptance Date and prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall take all such steps as may be required and permitted to cause the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including any dispositions of Common Shares (and derivative securities with respect to Common Shares) by each individual who is or will be subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act with respect to the Company, to be exempt under Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act to the extent permitted by applicable Law.

Section 5.11 Takeover Statutes. If any “fair price,” “moratorium,” “control share acquisition” or other similar state anti-takeover laws (“Takeover Statute”) is or becomes applicable to this Agreement, the Offer or the Merger or the other transactions contemplated hereby, each of Parent and the Company and their respective boards of directors shall (a) grant such approvals and take all necessary action to ensure that such transactions may be consummated as promptly as practicable upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement and (b) otherwise act to eliminate or minimize the effects of such Takeover Statute.

Section 5.12 Second-Step Merger. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, Parent shall, and shall cause Merger Sub to, use its reasonable best efforts to take promptly, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do promptly, or cause to be done, and to assist and cooperate with the other parties in doing, all things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable Laws to consummate the Merger as promptly as reasonably possible after the Acceptance Date in accordance with this Agreement.

Section 5.13 Control of Operations. Without in any way limiting any party’s rights or obligations under this Agreement, the parties understand and agree that nothing contained in this Agreement shall give Parent or Merger Sub, directly or indirectly, the right to control or direct the Company’s operations prior to the Acceptance Date.

(i) if Parent or Merger Sub shall have breached or failed to perform any of its representations, warranties, covenants or other agreements contained in this Agreement, which breach or failure to perform (A) would (x) reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect on Parent or (y) result in a failure of any Tender Offer Condition or any condition set forth in Section 6.1 to be capable of being satisfied, or the Offer to be consummated, by the End Date and (B) is not curable or, if curable, is not cured by Parent or Merger Sub within thirty (30) days after written notice thereof is given by the Company to Parent;

If Parent commences a suit against the Company seeking payment of Eligible Expenses and/or the Termination Fee, the losing party in such suit shall pay to the other party its reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees, charges and disbursements) incurred in connection with such suit; provided, however, that in the event Parent is the prevailing party in such suit, Company will also pay interest on the amount of the Termination Fee and/or Eligible Expenses at the per annum rate of interest publicly announced by JPMorgan Chase Bank, NA, in the City of New York, as such bank’s prime lending rate, on the date such payment was required to be made pursuant to this Agreement (the “Interest Date”) for the period running from such Interest Date through the actual date of payment.

(d) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if this Agreement is terminated in a circumstance requiring the Company to pay the Termination Fee and/or the Eligible Expenses, then any such payment or payments required to be made by the Company to Parent pursuant to this Section 7.3 shall be the exclusive remedy of Parent and Merger Sub for the loss suffered as a result of any such termination of this Agreement, other than for fraud, and, upon such payment or payments by the Company, the Company shall have no further liability or obligation relating to or arising out of this Agreement.

and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, it being understood that the Confidentiality Agreement shall continue in full force and effect until the Closing and shall survive any termination of this Agreement, and (b) are not intended, and shall not be deemed, to confer upon any other Person any rights or remedies hereunder, except as specifically provided in the following sentence.

Section 8.6 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the application thereof becomes or is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be void or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect and the application of such provision to other Persons or circumstances shall be interpreted so as reasonably to effect the intent of the parties to this Agreement. The parties hereto further agree to replace any such void or unenforceable provision of this Agreement with a valid and enforceable provision that shall achieve, to the greatest extent possible, the economic, business and other purposes of such void or unenforceable provision.

Section 8.7 Other Remedies; Specific Performance.

This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to the principals of conflicts of law that would apply the laws of another jurisdiction.

hereby; (b) agrees that all claims with respect to any such action or proceeding shall be heard and determined in such courts and agrees not to commence any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby except in such courts; (c) irrevocably and unconditionally waives any objection to the laying of venue of any action or proceeding arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby and irrevocably and unconditionally waives the defense of an inconvenient forum; (d) consents to service of process upon it by mailing or delivering such service to the addresses set forth in Section 8.3, provided that nothing in this Section 8.8 shall affect the right of any party to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by law; and (e) agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Law.

Section 8.10 Company Disclosure Letter. The Company Disclosure Letter is qualified in its entirety by reference to the specific provisions of this Agreement and nothing in the Company Disclosure Letter is intended to broaden the scope of any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement or to create any representation, warranty, agreement or covenant on the part of the Company. The inclusion of any matter, information, item or other disclosure set forth in any section of the Company Disclosure Letter shall not be deemed to constitute an admission of any liability of the Company to any third party or otherwise imply that such matter, information or item is material or is required to be disclosed under this Agreement. Each section of the Company Disclosure Letter, as the case may be, corresponds to the section of this Agreement to which it relates; provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in the event that any fact or condition is disclosed in any section of the Company Disclosure Letter in such a way as to make its relevance to another section of the Company Disclosure Letter (such other section relating to a representation or representations made elsewhere in this Agreement) reasonably apparent, then such fact or condition shall be deemed to be an exception to such other representation or representations made elsewhere in this Agreement, notwithstanding the omission of a reference or a cross reference thereto.
