Section 1.5 Stockholders’ Meeting; Proxy Statement.

(a) Subject to the Company’s rights under Section 7.1(c)(ii), the Company, acting through its Board of Directors, shall, in accordance with applicable law:

(i) duly call, give notice of, convene, and hold a special meeting of its stockholders for the purpose of considering and taking action upon this Agreement (the “Special Meeting”) as soon as practicable following the date hereof;

(ii) use best efforts to prepare and file with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), within fourteen (14) Business Days after the date hereof, a preliminary proxy statement relating to the Merger and this Agreement and use its reasonable best efforts (A) to obtain and furnish the information required to be included by the federal securities laws (and the rules and regulations thereunder) in the Proxy Statement (as hereinafter defined) and, after consultation with Parent, to respond promptly to any comments made by the SEC with respect to such preliminary proxy statement and, as soon as practicable thereafter, to cause a definitive proxy statement (the “Proxy Statement”) to be disseminated to its stockholders, as and to the extent required by applicable federal securities laws and (B) to obtain the necessary approvals of the Merger and this Agreement by its stockholders as soon as practicable (including by retaining an outside proxy solicitation firm at the Company’s own cost and expense); and

(iii) include in the Proxy Statement the unanimous recommendation of the Board of Directors that stockholders of the Company vote in favor of the approval of the Merger and the approval of this Agreement, unless such recommendation has been withdrawn, or unless such recommendation has been modified or amended, in each case in accordance with Section 5.2.

(b) Parent shall provide the Company with the information concerning Parent and Merger Sub reasonably required to be included in the Proxy Statement.

ARTICLE II

CONVERSION OF SECURITIES

Section 2.1 Conversion of Capital Stock. As of the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holders of any shares of the Company Common Stock or of the shares of common stock, $0.01 par value, of Merger Sub (the “Merger Sub Common Stock”):

(a) Merger Sub Common Stock. Each issued and outstanding share of Merger Sub Common Stock shall be converted into and become one validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of the common stock, $0.01 par value, of the Surviving Corporation.

(b) Cancellation of Treasury Stock and Parent-Owned Stock. All shares of Company Common Stock that are owned by the Company as treasury stock, all shares of Company Common Stock owned by any Subsidiary of the Company and any shares of Company Common Stock owned by Parent, Merger Sub or any other wholly-owned Subsidiary of Parent shall be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist and no cash or other consideration shall be delivered or deliverable in exchange therefor.

(c) Conversion of Shares. Each issued and outstanding share of Company Common Stock, other than Shares to be canceled in accordance with Section 2.1(b) and Dissenting Shares (if any), shall be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration in cash, without interest, payable to the holder thereof upon surrender of the certificate formerly representing such share of Company Common Stock in the manner provided in Section 2.2. All such shares of Company Common Stock, when so converted, shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist, and each

holder of a certificate representing any such Shares shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the Merger Consideration therefor upon the surrender of such certificate in accordance with Section 2.2, without interest.

(d) Adjustments to Merger Consideration. The Merger Consideration shall be adjusted (at Parent’s option) to reflect fully the appropriate effect of any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend or distribution (including any dividend or distribution of securities convertible into Company Common Stock), reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification or other like change; provided that nothing in this Section 2.1(d) shall be construed to permit the Company to take any action with respect to its securities that is otherwise prohibited by the terms of this Agreement.

Section 2.2 Exchange of Certificates.

(a) Paying Agent. Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall designate a bank or trust company (the “Paying Agent”), reasonably acceptable to the Company to make the payments of the funds to which holders of shares of Company Common Stock shall become entitled pursuant to Section 2.1(c) and to which holders of Company Stock Rights (as defined in Section 2.4) shall become entitled pursuant to Section 2.4. When and as needed, Parent shall deposit with the Paying Agent such funds in trust for the benefit of holders of shares of Company Common Stock for exchange in accordance with Section 2.1, and for the benefit of holders of Company Stock Rights in accordance with Section 2.4, for timely payment hereunder. Such funds shall be invested by the Paying Agent as directed by Parent; provided that such investments shall be in obligations of or guaranteed by the United States of America and backed by the full faith and credit of the United States of America or in commercial paper obligations rated A-1 or P-1 or better by Xxxxx’x Investors Service, Inc. or Standard & Poor’s, respectively. Any net profit resulting from, or interest or income produced by, such investments will be payable to Parent.

(b) Exchange Procedures. As promptly as practicable after the Effective Time, but in no event more than ten (10) days thereafter, 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 Common Stock (the “Certificates”) whose shares were converted pursuant to Section 2.1(c) into the right to receive the Merger Consideration:

(i) a letter of transmittal (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of the Certificates to the Paying Agent and shall be in such form and have such other provisions as Parent and the Surviving Corporation may reasonably specify); and

(ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates in exchange for payment of the Merger Consideration.

Upon surrender of a Certificate for cancellation to the Paying Agent, together with such letter of transmittal, duly executed by the holder of such Certificate, the holder of such Certificate shall

be entitled to receive in exchange therefor the Merger Consideration (subject to Section 2.2(d) and Section 2.2(e)) multiplied by the number of shares of Company Common Stock formerly represented by such Certificate and the Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be canceled. If payment of the Merger Consideration is to be made to an individual, corporation, limited liability company, or other entity (a “Person”) other than the Person in whose name the surrendered Certificate is registered, it shall be a condition of payment that the Certificate so surrendered shall be properly endorsed or shall be otherwise in proper form for transfer and that the Person requesting such payment shall have paid any transfer and other taxes required by reason of the payment of the Merger Consideration to a Person other than the registered holder of the Certificate surrendered or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Surviving Corporation that such tax either has been paid or is not applicable. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 2.2(b), each Certificate held by a holder whose Shares were converted pursuant to Section 2.1(c)) into the right to receive the Merger Consideration shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive the Merger Consideration in cash as contemplated by this Section 2.2. 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 Parent or the Surviving Corporation, the posting by such Person of a bond in such reasonable amount as Parent or the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, may direct as indemnity against any action 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 Merger Consideration to be paid in respect of the Shares represented by such Certificates as contemplated by this ARTICLE II.

(c) Transfer Books; No Further Ownership Rights in Company Common Stock. At the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed and thereafter there shall be no further registration of transfers of shares of Company Common Stock on the records of the Company. From and after the Effective Time, the holders of Certificates evidencing ownership of shares of Company Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall cease to have any rights with respect to such Shares, except as otherwise provided for herein or by applicable law. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates are presented to the Surviving Corporation for any reason, they shall be canceled and exchanged for Merger Consideration in the proper amount of cash as provided in this ARTICLE II.

(d) Return of Funds; No Liability. At any time following 270 calendar days after the Effective Time, each of Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall be entitled to require the Paying Agent to deliver to it any funds (including any interest received with respect thereto) which had been deposited with the Paying Agent and which have not been disbursed to holders of Certificates or holders of Company Stock Rights described in Section 2.4, and thereafter such holders of Certificates or Company Stock Rights shall be entitled to look only to Parent or the Surviving Corporation (subject to abandoned property, escheat or other similar laws) as general creditors thereof with respect to the payment of any Merger Consideration that may be payable upon surrender of any Certificates such holder holds, or the Stock Right Termination Consideration (as defined in Section 2.4(a)) with respect to payments to holders of Company Stock Rights to be made under Section 2.4, all as determined pursuant to this Agreement (and, in the case of the Stock Right Termination Consideration, pursuant to the terms

of the applicable Company Stock-Based Plan (as defined in Section 2.4(a))), without any interest thereon. Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of Parent, the Surviving Corporation, or the Paying Agent shall be liable to any holder of a Certificate for the Merger Consideration or to any holder of a Company Stock Right for the Stock Right Termination Consideration, delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat, or similar law.

(e) Withholding Taxes. Parent, the Surviving Corporation, and the Paying Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable to a holder of Shares pursuant to the Merger, or to a holder of a Company Stock Right or Company Restricted Shares pursuant to Section 2.4, such amounts as Parent, the Surviving Corporation, or the Paying Agent is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code (as defined in Section 3.16) or any provision of state, local or foreign tax law. To the extent amounts are so withheld by Parent, the Surviving Corporation, or the Paying Agent, the withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of the Shares or the Company Stock Rights or the Company Restricted Shares, as applicable, in respect of which the deduction and withholding was made.

Section 2.3 Appraisal Rights.

(a) In accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL (the “DGCL Appraisal Rights Provisions”), appraisal rights may be available to holders of shares of Company Common Stock in connection with the Merger.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, any shares of Company Common Stock held of record by Persons who, prior to the Special Meeting, have objected to the Merger and complied with all applicable provisions of the DGCL Appraisal Rights Provisions necessary to perfect and maintain their appraisal rights thereunder (any such shares of Company Common Stock, “Dissenting Shares”) shall not be converted as of the Effective Time into a right to receive the Merger Consideration, but instead shall entitle the holder of such shares of Company Common Stock to such rights as may be available under the DGCL Appraisal Rights Provisions; provided, however, that if after the Effective Time such holder fails to perfect or withdraws or otherwise loses its rights under the DGCL Appraisal Rights Provisions, the shares of Company Common Stock owned by such holder immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be treated as if they had been converted as of the Effective Time into the right to receive the Merger Consideration, without interest.

(c) Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall give Parent prompt notice of its receipt of each notification from a stockholder of the Company stating such stockholder’s intent to demand payment for his or her shares if the Merger is effectuated, and Parent shall have the right to participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demands. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of Parent, make any payment with respect to, or settle, any such demands. After the Effective Time, Parent shall pay, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to pay, any amounts that may become payable in respect of Dissenting Shares under the DGCL Appraisal Rights Provisions.

Section 2.4 Company Equity Awards.

(a) Vesting, Cash-Out and Cancellation of Company Stock Rights. As of the Effective Time, each unexercised and unexpired option, stock appreciation right or other similar equity award with option-like features that is settled in, or relates to Company Common Stock (other than Company Restricted Shares as defined in Section 2.4(b)) held under any stock or stock-based plan of the Company or its Subsidiaries or Affiliates, including without limitation the Company’s Amended and Restated 1995 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, Amended and Restated 1993 Stock Incentive Plan, 1995 Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan, 1998 Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan, 2003 Stock Incentive Plan, 2004 Employment Inducement Stock Plan, Stock Appreciation Rights Plan, Amended and Restated 2007 Stock Appreciation Right Plan, or 2008 Stock Incentive Plan, or the (CATC) Special 2000 Stock Option Plan, the (CATC) 2000 Stock Incentive Plan, or the (CATC) 1994 Stock Option Plan, or the Catalyst Enterprises, Inc. 2005 Stock Option Plan, each as amended, and the award agreements thereunder (collectively, the “Company Stock-Based Plans”), or under any separate agreement (each, a “Company Stock Right”), shall fully and immediately vest in accordance with the terms of the applicable Company Stock-Based Plan, by virtue of the Merger and without the need of any action on the part of any holder thereof. As of the Effective Time, each Company Stock Right, whether or not vested, shall be converted into and shall entitle the holder thereof to a right to receive an amount in cash equal to the product of (i) excess, if any, of (x) the Merger Consideration over (y) the exercise price, strike price or (in the case of stock appreciation rights) base price, as the case may be, of the Company Stock Right, multiplied by (ii) the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Company Stock Right, subject to Section 2.2(d) and (e) and Section 2.4(c) hereof (the “Stock Right Termination Consideration”). In the event the per share exercise price or the strike price or base price of a Company Stock Right, as adjusted, is equal to or greater than the Merger Consideration, such Company Stock Right shall be canceled as of the Effective Time without the payment of any consideration therefor and shall have no further force or effect. All payments made with respect to such Company Stock Rights shall be made by the Paying Agent (or such other agent reasonably acceptable to the Company as the Parent shall designate prior to the Effective Time) as promptly after the Effective Time from funds deposited by or at the direction of the Surviving Corporation to pay such amounts in accordance with Section 2.4(f). The Company Stock-Based Plans shall terminate as of the Effective Time. Following the Effective Time the holders of Company Stock Rights shall have no further rights with respect thereto other than to receive the Stock Right Termination Consideration, if any, as provided herein.

(b) Company Restricted Shares. Each outstanding share of restricted stock awarded under the Company Stock-Based Plans or under any separate agreement (each, a “Company Restricted Share”) that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall vest and become free of restrictions as of the Effective Time and be converted into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to the Merger Consideration, subject to the applicable provisions of Section 2.2. All payments with respect to such Company Restricted Shares shall be made by the Paying Agent (or such other agent reasonably acceptable to the Company as Parent shall designate prior to the Effective Time) as promptly as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time in accordance with Section 2.2.

(c) Employee Stock Purchase Plans. As of the Effective Time, the Company’s 1995 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, Amended and Restated 1995 Employee Stock

Purchase Plan, and any similar employee stock purchase plan (the “Employee Stock Purchase Plans”) and any then effective “offering period” (as defined in the applicable Employee Stock Purchase Plan) shall terminate, and any employee payroll withholding amounts credited to participants’ accounts thereunder as of such time shall be refunded to the participants in accordance with the terms of such plans by the Surviving Corporation on or as soon as administratively practicable after the Closing Date. For all purposes of this Agreement and any applicable Employee Stock Purchase Plan, the Effective Time shall be treated as the last day of any then effective offering period under any applicable Employee Stock Purchase Plan and the number of shares of the Company’s Stock subject to outstanding Company Stock Rights granted and outstanding pursuant to any Employee Stock Purchase Plan shall be the number of shares which could be purchased the amounts with the accumulated employee payroll withholding amounts credited to the participants’ accounts as of the Effective Time.

(d) Company Actions. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company will adopt such resolutions and will use commercially reasonable efforts (but shall not be required to incur ‘any additional expenses other than reasonable legal and accounting fees) to effectuate the actions contemplated by this Section 2.4, including without limitation to effectuate the vesting of the Company Stock Rights and Company Restricted Shares and the termination of the Company Stock-Based Plans, in each case of the Effective Time, without paying any material consideration or incurring any material debts or obligations on behalf of the Company or the Surviving Corporation.

(e) Exchange Procedures. Subject to the applicable terms of the Company Stock-Based Plans, as promptly as practicable after the Effective Time, but in no event more than ten (10) days thereafter, Parent shall cause the Paying Agent to mail to each holder of record of a Company Stock Right:

(i) a letter of transmittal, which (A) shall specify that such Company Stock Right has been terminated, effective as of the Effective Time, in consideration of the Surviving Corporation’s obligation to make the cash payments described in this Section 2.4, (B) shall contain representations and warranties by the applicable holder that he or she is the sole record and beneficial owner of all right, title, and interest in and to such Company Stock Right (and has no right, title or interest to any other Company Stock Rights), and (C) shall contain a release of all claims against the Company, the Surviving Corporation, Parent and their respective Subsidiaries and Affiliates with respect to all such Company Stock Rights); and

(ii) instructions for claiming the Stock Right Termination Consideration.

Upon delivery of such letter of transmittal, duly executed by the holder of such Company Stock Right, the holder of such Company Stock Right shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor the Stock Right Termination Consideration.

(i) withdraw, qualify, or modify, or propose publicly to withdraw, qualify, or modify, in a manner adverse to Parent, the approval, determination of advisability, or recommendation by the Board of Directors or any such committee of this Agreement, the Merger, and the other transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) approve, determine to be advisable, or recommend, or propose publicly to approve, determine to be advisable, or recommend, any Takeover Proposal, (iii) in the event of a tender offer or exchange offer for any outstanding Company Common Stock, fail to recommend against acceptance of such tender offer or exchange offer by the Company’s stockholders within ten (10) Business Days of the commencement thereof (for the avoidance of doubt, the taking of no position or a neutral position by the Board of Directors of the Company in respect of the acceptance of any tender offer or exchange offer by its stockholders as of the end of the ten (10) day Business Day period shall constitute a failure to recommend against any such offer); (iv) cause the Company to enter into any letter of intent, agreement in principle, acquisition agreement or other similar agreement related to any Takeover Proposal (other than a confidentiality agreement referred to in Section 5.2(a)), or (v) recommend that the Company’s stockholders reject adoption of this Agreement, the Merger or the other transactions contemplated hereby (any action described in clauses (i)-(v) above being referred to as a “Change of Recommendation”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Board of Directors of the Company determines in good faith, in response to a Superior Proposal that was unsolicited and made after the date hereof in circumstances not otherwise involving a breach of this Agreement, after considering applicable provisions of state law and after consultation with outside counsel, that the failure to do so would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties to the Company’s stockholders under applicable law, the Board of Directors of the Company may, prior to Company Stockholder Approval and subject to compliance with all of the requirements of this Section 5.2(b) and to compliance with Sections 5.2(a), 5.2(c) and 5.2(d) (xx) withdraw or modify its approval, determination of advisability, or recommendation of this Agreement, the Merger, and the other transactions contemplated hereby or (yy) determine to be advisable or recommend a Superior Proposal; provided, however, that any actions described in clause (xx) or (yy) may be taken only if the conditions of Section 5.2(c) are also met.

(c) The Company may take the actions described in Section 5.2(b)(xx) and (yy) only after (i) providing Parent prompt written notice advising Parent that the Board of Directors of the Company has received a Superior Proposal and the Company’s Board of Directors’ undertakes any of the actions described in either Section 5.2(b)(xx) or Section 5.2(b)(yy) with respect to such Superior Proposal, such notice also specifying the material terms and conditions of such Superior Proposal and identifying the Person making such Superior Proposal (unless identifying the Person would violate an obligation of confidentiality), and (ii) the Parent does not provide within five (5) Business Days of receipt of the written notice from the Company of such Superior Proposal an offer that the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside counsel and financial advisor, is at least as favorable from a financial point of view to the Company’s stockholders. In the event Parent’s offer (as described in the preceding sentence) is determined by the Company to be at least as favorable from a financial point of view to the Company’s stockholders, then this Agreement shall be deemed to be amended in accordance with the terms of that offer, Company shall terminate such other discussions, and (subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement) take any and all necessary actions to consummate the Merger.

(d) In addition to the obligations of the Company set forth in Section 5.2(a) and 5.2(b), the Company shall promptly (and in no event later than one Business Day after receipt of any Takeover Proposal) advise Parent in writing of (i) any inquiry or indication of interest that could reasonably be expected to lead to a Takeover Proposal, (ii) any request for confidential information in connection with a Takeover Proposal, (iii) any Takeover Proposal, including a Superior Proposal (iv) the material terms and conditions of such inquiry, indication of interest, request for confidential information or any Takeover Proposal, (v) the identity of the Person making such request or such Takeover Proposal (unless identifying the Person would violate an obligation of confidentiality), and (vi) any requests made by the Company for information about the Takeover Proposal or the Person that made it. The Company shall keep Parent fully informed with respect to the status of any such inquiry, indication of interest, request for confidential information, Takeover Proposal, or any significant developments in respect thereof.

(e) Nothing contained in this Section 5.2 shall prohibit the Company from taking and disclosing to its stockholders a position contemplated by Rule 14e-2(a) promulgated under the Exchange Act or from making any disclosure to the Company’s stockholders; provided, however, neither the Company nor its Board of Directors nor any committee thereof shall, except as in accordance with Section 5.2(b), withdraw or modify, or propose publicly to withdraw or modify, its approval, determination or recommendation or approve, determine to be advisable, or recommend, or propose publicly to approve, determine to be advisable, or recommend, a Takeover Proposal.

(f) For purposes of this Agreement:

(i) “Takeover Proposal” means any inquiry, proposal or offer from any Person (other than Parent and its Subsidiaries, Affiliates, and representatives) relating to any direct or indirect acquisition or purchase of 20% or more of the assets of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or 20% or more of any class of equity securities of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, any tender offer or exchange offer that if consummated would result in any Person beneficially owning 20% or more of any class of equity securities of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or any merger, consolidation, share exchange, business combination, recapitalization, liquidation, dissolution or similar transaction involving the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, in each case other than the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(ii) “Superior Proposal” means an unsolicited bona fide written offer from any Person (other than Parent and its Subsidiaries, Affiliates and representatives) for the direct or indirect acquisition or purchase of 50% or more of the assets of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries taken as a whole, or 50% or more of any class of equity securities of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, any tender offer or exchange offer that if consummated would result in any Person beneficially owning 50% or more of any class of equity securities of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or any merger, consolidation, share exchange, business combination, recapitalization, liquidation, dissolution or

similar transaction involving the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, in each case other than the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, which provides for consideration on a per share basis to the stockholders of the Company with a value (it being understood that securities retained by the Company’s stockholders be included for purposes of that determination) that the Board of Directors of the Company determines in good faith (after consultation with its outside counsel and financial advisor and taking into account all relevant factors, including all legal, financial, regulatory and other aspects of such Takeover Proposal and the Person making such Takeover Proposal) to be more favorable from a financial point of view to the Company’s stockholders than the Merger Consideration; provided, however, that no Takeover Proposal shall be deemed to be a “Superior Proposal” unless (A) there is no financing contingency and any financing required to consummate the transaction contemplated by such proposal is committed at least to the same extent as the financing arranged by Parent, (B) there is no due diligence condition to the third party’s obligation to consummate the transactions that are the subject of such proposal; (C) the transactions contemplated by such Takeover Proposal are reasonably capable of being completed in accordance with their terms without undue delay; and (D) the Board of Directors of the Company has determined in its good faith judgment (after consultation with its outside counsel) that failure to take such action would be inconsistent with their fiduciary duties under applicable law. Any Superior Proposal is a Takeover Proposal.

(g) The Board of Directors of the Company shall not, in connection with any Change of Recommendation, take any action to change the approval of the Board of Directors of the Company for purposes of causing any state takeover statute or other state law to be applicable to the transactions contemplated hereby.

Section 5.3 Publicity. The initial press release with respect to the execution of this Agreement shall be a joint press release reasonably acceptable to both Parent and the Company. Thereafter, so long as this Agreement is in effect, none of the Company, Parent, Merger Sub, nor any of their respective Affiliates, shall issue or cause the publication of any press release or other announcement with respect to the Merger, this Agreement or the other transactions contemplated hereby without the prior consultation of the other parties hereto, except any publication of any press release or other announcement made in connection with any Superior Proposal or as may be required by law or by any listing agreement with a national securities exchange or NASDAQ or any other securities market as determined in the good faith judgment of the party hereto wanting to make such release.

Section 5.4 Notification of Certain Matters. Each of the Company and Parent shall give prompt written notice to the other if any of the following occur after the date of this Agreement: (a) receipt of any notice or other communication in writing from any Person, not a party hereto, alleging that the consent or approval of such Person is or may be required in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; (b) receipt of any notice or other communication from any Governmental Entity or NASDAQ (or any other securities market), as applicable, in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; or (c) the occurrence of an event which would be reasonably likely to (i) have a Company Material

Adverse Effect or prevent or delay the consummation of the Merger or (ii) cause any condition to the Merger to be unsatisfied at any time prior to the Outside Date (as defined in Section 7.1(b)(ii)); provided, however, that the delivery of any written notice pursuant to this Section 5.4 shall not limit or otherwise affect the remedies of the parties hereto available hereunder.

Section 5.5 Access to Information.

(a) Upon reasonable notice and subject to applicable laws relating to the exchange of information, and subject to such requirements as the Company reasonably may impose to minimize disruption of its business, the Company shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, afford to the officers, employees, accountants, counsel and other representatives of the Parent, during normal business hours during the period prior to the Effective Time, reasonable access to all its properties, books, contracts, commitments and records, its facilities (including without limitation to perform environmental assessments), and to its officers, employees, accountants, counsel and other representatives and, during such period, the Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, make available to Parent (i) a copy of each report, schedule, registration statement and other document filed or received by it during such period pursuant to the requirements of federal securities laws and (ii) all other information concerning its business, properties and personnel as Parent may reasonably request. Parent shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries and representatives to, hold in confidence all Evaluation Material (as defined in the Confidentiality Agreement) concerning the Company and its Subsidiaries furnished to it in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, pursuant to this Section 5.5(a) or otherwise, in accordance with the Confidentiality Agreement.

(b) No investigation by any of the parties hereto or their respective representatives shall affect the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements of the others set forth herein.

Section 5.6 Further Assurances.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each of Parent and the Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, use all reasonable efforts (i) to take, or cause to be taken, all actions necessary, proper or advisable to comply promptly with all legal requirements which may be imposed on such party or its Subsidiaries with respect to the Merger and, subject to the conditions set forth in ARTICLE VI hereof, to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including, without limitation, the Merger, as promptly as practicable and (ii) to obtain (and to cooperate with the other parties hereto to obtain) any consent, authorization, order or approval of, or any exemption by, any Governmental Entity and any other third party which is required to be obtained by the Company or Parent or any of their respective Subsidiaries in connection with the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and to comply with the terms and conditions of any such consent, authorization, order, or approval. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, each party hereto agrees to (x) make an appropriate filing of a Notification and Report Form pursuant to the HSR Act with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby within ten (10) Business Days of the date hereof and to take any and all other reasonable actions necessary to cause the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting periods under the HSR Act as soon

as possible and (y) file any notifications or filings required to be filed under similar applicable foreign laws and regulations as promptly as reasonably practicable, in any event within fifteen (15) days of the date hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision in this Agreement to the contrary, in connection with seeking any consent, authorization, order or approval of, or any exemption by, any Governmental Entity related to the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, in no event will any party hereto be obligated to agree to, or proffer to, divest or hold separate, or enter into any licensing or similar arrangement with respect to, any assets or any portion of any business of Parent, any of its Subsidiaries, the Company, or any of its Subsidiaries.

(b) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each of Parent and the Company shall use all reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable to consummate and make effective, as soon as practicable after the date of this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby, including, without limitation, using all reasonable efforts to lift or rescind any injunction or restraining order or other order adversely affecting the ability of the parties hereto to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and using all reasonable efforts to defend any litigation seeking to enjoin, prevent or delay the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or seeking material damages.

Section 5.7 Indemnification; Directors’ and Officers’ Insurance.

(a) From and after the Effective Time until the sixth anniversary of the Effective Time, Parent shall indemnify, advance expenses to, and hold harmless the present and former officers and directors of the Company and its Subsidiaries (each, an “Indemnified Party”), in each case to the fullest extent permitted by law, in respect of acts or omissions occurring or alleged to have occurred prior to or after the Effective Time. From and after the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the certificate of incorporation and by-laws of the Surviving Corporation to contain provisions substantially similar in terms to the rights granted in the provisions with respect to indemnification and insurance set forth in the Company Charter and the Company By-laws in effect on the date hereof, which provisions shall not be amended in any manner that would materially and adversely affect the rights thereunder of the Company’s employees, agents, directors or officers for acts or omissions occurring on or prior to the Effective Time, except if such amendment is required by applicable law. Any determination required to be made with respect to whether an officer’s or director’s conduct complies with the standards set forth in the Company Charter or the Company By-laws shall be made by independent counsel selected by Parent and reasonably acceptable to such officer or director. Parent shall pay such reasonable counsel’s fees and expenses. With respect to acts or omissions occurring on or prior to the Effective Time, the Company may on or prior to the Effective Time purchase (and if it does not, at or after the Effective Time the Parent shall purchase or cause the Surviving Corporation to purchase) a tail, run-off or similar director’s and officer’s liability insurance coverage policy for a period of six (6) years, with the same or similar coverages as are currently in effect for the Company, at no cost to the beneficiaries thereof; provided that (i) the total premiums to be paid for such policy shall not exceed 200% of the aggregate annual premium most recently paid by the Company prior to the date hereof to maintain director’s and officer’s liability insurance coverage (and if the total premium of such insurance coverage

exceeds such amount, the Company, Parent or the Surviving Corporation shall obtain a tail policy with the greatest coverage available for a cost not exceeding such amount) and (ii) prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall not enter into any insurance contract for a “tail” policy without the prior written consent of Parent which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

(b) In the event the Surviving Corporation or any of its 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, and in each such case, proper provisions shall be made so that the successors and assigns of the Surviving Corporation shall assume its obligations set forth in this Section 5.7.

Section 5.8 Employee Benefit Plans.

(a) For purposes of all employee benefit plans (as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA) and other employment agreements, arrangements and policies of Parent under which an employee’s benefits depends, in whole or in part, on length of service, credit will be given to current employees of the Company (“Company Employees”) for service with the Company prior to the Effective Time, provided that except in the case of severance or vacation accrual, such crediting of service shall be solely for purposes of eligibility and vesting under such plans and not for purposes of benefit accrual, and provided further that such crediting is permitted under applicable law and pursuant to the terms of the Teledyne Technologies Incorporated Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the Stock Advantage Plan) and does not result in duplication of benefits. Parent shall, and shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, honor in accordance with their terms all Company Benefit Plans that are in effect as of the Effective Time; provided, however, that Parent may, or may cause the Surviving Corporation to, amend, modify or terminate any individual Company Benefit Plan in accordance with its terms and applicable law. Parent shall cause Surviving Corporation to timely pay all performance or other bonuses earned based on performance or service in periods ending on or prior to December 31, 2012, (i) in accordance with the respective terms of the applicable Company Benefit Plan as in effect as of and the awards granted thereunder as of the Closing Date; (ii) to the extent not already paid as of the Closing Date; (iii) in amounts as disclosed to Parent prior to the Closing Date; and (iv) so long as the metrics for the first half of fiscal year 2013 Consolidated Operating Plan is substantially similar to the Consolidated Operating Plan for the second half of fiscal year 2012.

(b) Prior to the Closing, the Company shall take the necessary action to terminate its 401(k) plan effective as of the Closing Date. Upon request of an employee of the Company and to the extent permitted by the Company’s 401(k) plan and applicable law, Parent shall permit the direct rollover of cash account balances and any notes evidencing an outstanding plan loan or loans to the Parent’s 401(k) plan. The Company further agrees, upon Parent’s request (which request shall be made no less than ten (10) days prior the Effective Time), to take any and all actions required (including the adoption of resolutions by its Board of Directors) to amend, freeze and/or terminate any or all Company Benefit Plans immediately before but contingent upon the Effective Time.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained in this Agreement shall (i) be treated as an amendment of any particular Company Benefit Plan, (ii) give any third party any right to enforce the provisions of this Section 5.8, (iii) limit the right of Parent or any of its Subsidiaries to terminate the employment of any Company Employee at any time, or, except as specifically provided in Section 5.8(a) above, (iv) require Parent or any of its Subsidiaries to provide any particular employee benefits, rates of base salary or hourly wage or annual bonus opportunities for any period following the Effective Time or (v) obligate the Company, the Surviving Corporation, Parent or any of their respective Subsidiaries to maintain any particular Company Benefit Plan.

Section 5.9 Special Meeting.

(a) Subject to Section 1.5, the Company will take all action necessary in accordance with applicable law and the Company Charter and the Company By-laws to convene as promptly as reasonably practicable after the date hereof the Special Meeting and shall submit this Agreement, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby for approval of the stockholders of the Company at such meeting or any adjournment thereof.

(c) The Company shall advise Parent on a daily basis commencing ten (10) Business Days prior to the Special Meeting, or as otherwise reasonably requested by Parent, as to the aggregate tally of the proxies and votes received in respect of stockholder approval of this Agreement, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby and all other matters to be considered at the Special Meeting, in each case to the extent that the Company has such information readily available or can obtain it without undue effort or expense.

Section 5.10 Certain Indebtedness. Prior to, or simultaneous with, the Closing, the Company shall deliver to Parent an appropriate payoff letter regarding the Company’s Credit Agreement, dated August 8, 2011, with RBS Citizens, N.A. (“RBS”) and shall have made arrangements reasonably satisfactory to Parent for RBS to deliver all related Lien releases to Parent upon the payoff of all such Indebtedness.

Section 5.11 Tax Efficiency. The Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, cooperate in good faith with Parent and Merger Sub and take those reasonable actions as the Company deems appropriate in its sole and absolute discretion (to be effective as of or immediately prior to the Effective Time), in order to effectuate the transactions in the most Tax efficient manner to Parent and Merger Sub.

Section 5.12 Additional Agreements. In case at any time after the Effective Time any further action is necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement or to vest the Surviving Corporation with full title to all properties, assets, rights, approvals, immunities and franchises of any of the parties to the Merger, the proper officers and directors of each party to this Agreement and their respective Subsidiaries shall take all such necessary action as may be reasonably requested by, and at the sole expense of, Parent.

Section 5.13 Confidentiality; Non-Solicitation of Employees. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that in the event of termination of this Agreement as provided in Section 7.1, the non-disclosure and non-solicitation obligations contained in that certain letter agreement, dated April 2, 2012, between Parent and the Company shall remain in full force and effect pursuant to the terms thereof.

(c) In the event that: (i) a Takeover Proposal shall have been made known to the Company or shall have been made directly to its stockholders generally or any Person shall have publicly announced an intention (whether or not conditional) to make a Takeover Proposal and thereafter this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 7.1(c)(i) or 7.1(d)(i) hereof, and within one (1) year of such termination, the Company enters into a legally binding agreement or series of agreements for the sale of more than 50% of its capital stock or assets to one or more third parties other than Parent or its Subsidiaries; (ii) this Agreement is terminated by Parent pursuant to Section 7.1(d)(ii) or is terminated by the Company pursuant to Section 7.1(c)(ii), or (iii) the Company terminates or materially breaches this Agreement in order to accept any Takeover Proposal, then the Company shall pay to Parent within one (1) Business Day of such termination (or in the case of subclause (c)(i) upon the entry of such agreements or series of agreements), a termination fee equal to $10,500,000 (the “Termination Fee”), payable by wire transfer of same day funds. The Company acknowledges that the agreements contained

in this Section 7.3(c) are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and that, without these agreements, Parent and Merger Sub would not enter into this Agreement. The fee arrangement contemplated hereby shall be paid pursuant to this Section 7.3(c) regardless of any alleged breach by Parent of its obligations hereunder; provided that no payment made by the Company pursuant to this Section 7.3 shall operate or be construed as a waiver by the Company of any breach of this Agreement by Parent or Merger Sub or of any rights of the Company in respect thereof; and provided further, that the Termination Fee and any reimbursement of expenses due pursuant to Section 7.3(b) hereto, if paid, shall be in lieu of any other damages that could otherwise be recovered by Parent or Merger Sub from the Company arising from such breach (to the extent that the Company has complied with its obligations under Section 5.2 hereof), all of which Parent and Merger Sub hereby irrevocably waive and relinquish in exchange for the right to receive the Termination Fee and any reimbursement of expenses due pursuant to Section 7.3(b) hereto.

Any agreement on the part of a party hereto to any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed on behalf of such party.

Section 5.7 is intended for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each Indemnified Party (and his or her heirs and representatives).

Section 8.7 Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction or other authority to be invalid, void, unenforceable, or against its regulatory policy, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants, and restrictions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired, or invalidated, so long as the economic and legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby, taken as a whole, are not affected in a manner materially adverse to any party hereto.

Section 8.8 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware without giving effect to the principles of conflicts of law thereof or of any other jurisdiction.

Section 8.9 Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder shall be assigned by any of the parties hereto (whether by operation of law or otherwise) without the prior written consent of the other parties hereto, except that the Merger Sub may assign, in its sole discretion, any or all of its rights, interests and obligations hereunder to Parent or to any direct or indirect wholly-owned Subsidiary of Parent. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement shall be binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.

Section 8.10 Definitions; Headings; Interpretation.

(a) Capitalized terms used in this Agreement but not otherwise defined below are defined in the sections of this Agreement as referenced in Annex A.

(b) The descriptive headings used herein are inserted for convenience of reference only and are not intended to be part of or to affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

(d) The words “hereby”, “herein”, “hereof, “hereunder” and words of similar import refer to this Agreement as a whole (including any Exhibits hereto and the Company Disclosure Schedules delivered herewith) and not merely to the specific section, paragraph, or clause in which such word appears.

(e) “Affiliate” shall have the meaning set forth in Rule 12(b)-2 under the Exchange Act.

(f) “Key Employees” means Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxxx, Xxxx X. X’Xxxxxx, Xxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx, Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxxxx, Xxxxx X. Xxxxxx. Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, and Xxxxx XxXxxx.

(g) “Knowledge” and “known” mean the actual knowledge after reasonable inquiry of the executive officers of the Company.

(h) References to Articles, sections, subsections, or clauses shall, unless otherwise indicated, be references to the respective Articles, sections, subsections, and clauses of this Agreement.

(i) The parties hereto have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement, and in the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties hereto and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any provisions of this Agreement.

(j) Any reference herein to any contract, agreement, or other obligation being in full force and effect, valid, binding, and/or enforceable, or to similar effect, shall be interpreted as being qualified to the extent that such attributes (i) may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium or other similar laws affecting or relating to the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and (ii) are subject to general principles of equity.

(k) All information set forth in the Company Disclosure Schedule will be deemed to qualify each representation and warranty set forth in Article III hereof (i) that is specifically identified (e.g., by inclusion in or cross-reference to the section of the Company Disclosure Schedule corresponding to such representation or warranty or otherwise) as being qualified by such information, or (ii) with respect to which the relevance of such information is reasonably apparent.

Section 8.11 Enforcement; Venue.

(a) The parties hereto 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 hereto 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 any court (i) of the State of Delaware or of the United States District Court located in the State of Delaware or (ii) of the State of New York located in the Borough of Manhattan in the City and State of New York or of the United States located in the Southern District of New York. The jurisdiction of the foregoing courts shall be exclusive in the event any dispute arises out of this Agreement or any of the

transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and no party hereto will attempt to deny or defeat personal jurisdiction or venue in any such court by motion or other request for leave from any such court. Each party hereto irrevocably consents to the service of process outside the territorial jurisdiction of the courts referred to in this section in any such action or proceeding by mailing copies thereof by registered United States mail, return receipt requested, to its address as specified in Section 8.4. However, the foregoing shall not limit the right of a party hereto to effect service of process by any other legally available method.

(b) EACH PARTY HERETO ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE EACH SUCH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT. Each party hereto certifies and acknowledges that (i) no representative, agent or attorney of any other party hereto has represented, expressly or otherwise, that such other party hereto would not, in the event of litigation, seek to enforce the foregoing waiver, (ii) each party hereto understands and has considered the implications of this waiver, (iii) each party hereto makes this waiver voluntarily, and (iv) each party hereto has been induced to enter into this Agreement by, among other things, the mutual waivers and certifications in this Section 8.11.
