ARTICLE I

THE OFFER

Section 1.01 The Offer.

(a) Provided that this Agreement shall not have been terminated pursuant to Article VIII, and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Merger Sub shall (and Parent shall cause Merger Sub to) commence (within the meaning of Rule 14d-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (together with the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Exchange Act”)) the Offer no later than ten (10) Business Days) from the date of this Agreement.

(b) The obligation of Merger Sub to, and of Parent to cause Merger Sub to, accept for payment and pay for any shares of Company Common Stock validly tendered and not validly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer shall be subject to: (i) there being validly tendered in the Offer and not validly withdrawn prior to any then scheduled Expiration Time that number of shares of Company Common Stock which, together with the shares beneficially owned by Parent or Merger Sub (if any), represents at least a majority of the Fully Diluted Shares as of immediately prior to the expiration of the Offer (as it may be extended and re-extended in accordance with this Section 1.01) (the “Minimum Condition”); and (ii) the satisfaction, or waiver by Parent or Merger Sub, of the other conditions and requirements set forth in Annex A, as such conditions may be modified in accordance with this

Agreement (together with the Minimum Condition, the “Offer Conditions”). Subject to the prior satisfaction of the Minimum Condition and the satisfaction, or waiver by Parent or Merger Sub, of the other Offer Conditions as of the Expiration Time, Merger Sub shall, and Parent shall cause Merger Sub to, consummate the Offer in accordance with its terms and (i) promptly after the Expiration Time, accept for payment (the first date of acceptance of shares of Company Common Stock for payment, the “Acceptance Date”) all shares of Company Common Stock validly tendered and not validly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer, which acceptance shall be by written notice to the Exchange Agent (as hereinafter defined); (ii) on the Acceptance Date, deposit or cause to be deposited with the Exchange Agent, cash in U.S. dollars sufficient to pay the aggregate Offer Price for such accepted shares of Company Common Stock, and (iii) as promptly as practicable following such deposit, cause the Exchange Agent to pay for all shares of Company Common Stock so accepted for payment. Also on the Acceptance Date, Parent and Merger Sub shall execute and deliver and enter into the CPR Agreement with the Company and the CPR Rights Agent and deposit with the CPR Rights Agent pursuant to such agreement, the amount of the Contingent Cash Payment determined in accordance with Section 6.16 hereof (or if the amount of the Contingent Cash Payment shall not have been determined on the Acceptance Date in accordance with Section 6.16, the amount otherwise established for such deposit pursuant to Section 6.16), per share for each share validly tendered and not validly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer. Such amount shall thereafter be disbursed in accordance with the provisions of the CPR Agreement. The Offer Price payable in respect of each share of Company Common Stock validly tendered and not validly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer shall be paid net to the seller in cash, without interest (subject to any withholding of tax pursuant to Section 3.05), on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement. In the event that the Acceptance Date occurs, but the number of shares of Company Common Stock that have been validly tendered and not properly withdrawn in the Offer, together with any shares of Company Common Stock then owned by Parent and Merger Sub, assuming exercise of the Top-Up Option in full, is less than ninety percent (90%) of the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock on a fully diluted basis, Merger Sub may, in its sole discretion, commence a “subsequent offering period” (in accordance with Rule 14d-11 promulgated under the Exchange Act) for a number of days to be determined by Parent, but not less than three (3) nor more than ten (10) Business Days, to acquire additional outstanding shares of Company Common Stock. If Merger Sub shall commence a subsequent offering period in connection with the Offer, Merger Sub shall, and Parent shall cause Merger Sub to, accept for payment and pay for (after giving effect to any required withholding tax pursuant to Section 3.05) all additional shares of Company Common Stock validly tendered during such subsequent offering period in accordance with the requirements of such Rule 14d-11.

(c) The Offer shall be made by means of an offer to purchase (the “Offer to Purchase”) that describes the terms and conditions of the Offer as set forth in this Agreement, including the Offer Conditions. Parent and Merger Sub expressly reserve the right to waive, in whole or in part, any Offer Condition, to increase the Offer Price or to make any other changes in the terms and conditions of the Offer; provided, however, that unless otherwise provided by this Agreement or as previously approved in writing by the Company, Merger Sub shall not (i) reduce the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to the Offer, (ii) reduce the Offer Price or change the form of consideration payable in the Offer, (iii) change the terms of the CPRs, (iv) change, modify or waive the Minimum Condition, (v) add to the conditions set forth in Annex A or modify or change any Offer Condition in any manner adverse to any shareholder of the Company, (vi) except as otherwise provided in this Section 1.01, extend or otherwise change the Expiration Time or (vii) otherwise amend, modify or supplement any of the other terms of the Offer in any manner adverse to any holders of the Company Common Stock.

(d) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Offer shall expire at midnight (New York City time) on the date that is twenty (20) Business Days (as calculated under Rule 14d-1(g)(3) under the Exchange Act) following the commencement (within the meaning of Rule 14d-2 under the Exchange Act) of the Offer (the “Initial Expiration Time”) or, in the event the Initial Expiration

Time has been extended pursuant to this Agreement, the date and time to which the Offer has been so extended (the Initial Expiration Time, or such later date and time to which the Initial Expiration Time has been extended pursuant to this Agreement, is referred to as the “Expiration Time”).

(e) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, unless this Agreement has been terminated in accordance with its terms, Merger Sub shall, and Parent shall cause Merger Sub to, (i) extend the Offer on one or more occasions, in consecutive increments of up to five (5) Business Days (or such longer period as the parties hereto may agree) each, if on any then-scheduled Expiration Time any of the Offer Conditions set forth in Annex A shall not be satisfied or waived, until such time as such condition or conditions are satisfied or waived; provided, however, that the maximum number of days that the Offer may be extended pursuant to this clause (i) shall be twenty (20) Business Days, and provided that if the passage of time has made the satisfaction of an Offer Condition impossible, Parent shall not be required to cause Merger Sub to extend the Offer pursuant to this clause (i), (ii) extend the Offer on one or more occasions, in consecutive increments of up to five (5) Business Days each, if on any then-scheduled Expiration Time each Offer Condition set forth in Annex A shall have been satisfied or waived, and the Minimum Condition shall not have been satisfied; provided, however, that the maximum number of days that the Offer may be extended pursuant to this clause (ii) shall be twenty (20) Business Days, and (iii) extend the Offer for the minimum period required by applicable Law, any interpretation or position of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), the staff thereof, or the NASDAQ Stock Market (“NASDAQ”) applicable to the Offer; provided, however, that in no event (A) shall the Offer be extended beyond February 15, 2013 (the “Outside Date”); (B) shall Merger Sub extend the Offer if the Minimum Condition and all the Offer Conditions set forth in Annex A are satisfied or waived and it is permitted under applicable Law to accept for payment and pay for validly tendered shares of Company Common Stock that are not validly withdrawn; or (C) shall this Section 1.01(e) be construed or deemed to impair, limit or otherwise restrict the right of the parties to terminate this Agreement in accordance with the terms and provisions of Article VIII. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Section 1.01(e), the obligations of Merger Sub and Parent and the rights of Company to cause an extension of the Offer are cumulative so that, if at any time any of the foregoing is applicable, the Offer will be so extended further.

(f) On the terms and subject to the satisfaction or waiver by Merger Sub of the Offer Conditions as of the Expiration Time, Merger Sub shall, and Parent shall cause Merger Sub to, accept and pay the Offer Price (subject to any withholding of tax pursuant to Section 3.05) pursuant to Section 1.01(b) for all shares of Company Common Stock validly tendered and not validly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer as soon as practicable after the Expiration Time (as it may be extended and re-extended in accordance with this Section 1.01). Parent shall provide or cause to be provided to Merger Sub, on a timely basis, the funds necessary to pay for any shares of Company Common Stock that Merger Sub becomes obligated to accept for payment pursuant to the Offer and shall cause Merger Sub to fulfill all of Merger Sub’s obligations under this Agreement. Acceptance for payment of shares of Company Common Stock pursuant to and subject to the Offer Conditions upon the Expiration Time is referred to in this Agreement as the “Offer Closing,” and the date on which the Offer Closing occurs is referred to in this Agreement as the “Offer Closing Date.”

(g) Merger Sub shall not terminate the Offer prior to any scheduled Expiration Time without the prior written consent of the Company, except in the event that this Agreement is terminated in accordance with the terms and provisions of Article VIII. If the Offer is terminated or withdrawn by Merger Sub, or this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Article VIII, prior to the acceptance for payment of the Company Common Stock tendered in the Offer, Merger Sub shall promptly (and in any event within three (3) Business Days), return and cause any depository acting on behalf of Merger Sub to return, all tendered Company Common Stock to the registered holders thereof and, as applicable, take other necessary and appropriate actions as prescribed by Section 8.05 hereof.

(h) As soon as practicable on the date of the commencement of the Offer, Parent and Merger Sub shall file with the SEC a Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO with respect to the Offer (together with all amendments, supplements and exhibits thereto, the “Schedule TO”). The Schedule TO shall include, as exhibits, the Offer to Purchase and a form of the related letter of transmittal, ancillary documents and instruments, and summary advertisement (such Schedule TO and the documents included therein pursuant to which the Offer will be made, together with any amendments and supplements thereto, the “Offer Documents”). The Company shall promptly furnish to Parent and Merger Sub in writing all information concerning the Company and its Subsidiaries that may be required by applicable Laws or reasonably requested by Parent or Merger Sub for inclusion in the Offer Documents. Parent and Merger Sub shall take all steps necessary to cause the Offer Documents to be filed with the SEC and disseminated to the shareholders of the Company, in each case as and to the extent required by the Exchange Act. Parent and Merger Sub, on the one hand, and the Company, on the other hand, shall promptly correct any information provided by it for use in the Offer Documents if and to the extent that such information shall have become false or misleading in any material respect or as otherwise required by applicable Law. Parent and Merger Sub shall take all steps necessary to cause the Offer Documents, as so corrected, to be filed with the SEC and disseminated to the shareholders of the Company, in each case as and to the extent required by the Exchange Act. Parent and Merger Sub shall promptly notify the Company upon the receipt of any comments from the SEC, or any request from the SEC for amendments or supplements, to the Offer Documents, and shall promptly provide the Company and its counsel with copies of all correspondence and summaries of telephonic communications between them and their Representatives, on the one hand, and the SEC, on the other hand, relating to the Offer Documents. Prior to the filing of the Offer Documents (including any amendments or supplements thereto) with the SEC or dissemination thereof to the shareholders of the Company, or responding to any comments of the SEC with respect to the Offer Documents, Parent and Merger Sub shall provide the Company and its counsel a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such Offer Documents or response, and Parent and Merger Sub shall give reasonable and good faith consideration to any such comments.

Section 1.02 Company Actions.

(a) As promptly as practical, following the filing of the Schedule TO with the SEC, the Company shall file with the SEC a Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9 with respect to the Offer (together with all amendments, supplements and exhibits thereto, the “Schedule 14D-9”) that shall, subject to the provisions of Section 6.04, contain and reflect the Company Board Recommendation described in Section 4.03(b). The Company shall take all steps necessary to cause the Schedule 14D-9 to be prepared and filed with the SEC and disseminated to the shareholders of the Company, in each case as and to the extent required by the Exchange Act. Parent and Merger Sub shall promptly furnish to the Company in writing all information concerning Parent and Merger Sub that may be required by applicable Laws or reasonably requested by the Company for inclusion in the Schedule 14D-9. The Company, on the one hand, and Parent and Merger Sub, on the other hand, shall promptly correct any information provided by it for use in the Schedule 14D-9 if and to the extent that such information shall have become false or misleading in any material respect or as otherwise required by applicable Law. The Company shall take all steps necessary to cause the Schedule 14D-9, as so corrected, to be filed with the SEC and disseminated to the shareholders of the Company, in each case as and to the extent required by the Exchange Act. Unless the Company Board has effected a change in the Company Board Recommendation, the Company shall promptly notify Parent and Merger Sub upon the receipt of any comments from the SEC, or any request from the SEC for amendments or supplements, to the Schedule 14D-9, and shall promptly provide Parent and Merger Sub with copies of all correspondence between it and its Representatives, on the one hand, and the SEC, on the other hand, relating to the Schedule 14D-9. Unless the Company Board has effected a change in the Company Board Recommendation, prior to the filing of the Schedule 14D-9 (including any amendments or supplements thereto) with the SEC or dissemination thereof to the shareholders of the Company, or responding to any

comments of the SEC with respect to the Schedule 14D-9, the Company shall provide Parent, Merger Sub and their counsel a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such Schedule 14D-9 or response, and the Company shall give reasonable and good faith consideration to any such comments.

(b) In connection with the Offer, the Company shall promptly furnish or cause to be furnished to Parent and Merger Sub mailing labels, security position listings and any other available listings or computer files containing the names and addresses of all record holders or beneficial owners of the shares of Company Common Stock, in each case as of the most recent practicable date, and shall furnish Parent and Merger Sub with such information and assistance (including lists of record holders or beneficial owners of the shares of Company Common Stock, updated from time to time upon Parent’s, Merger Sub’s or either of their respective agents’ reasonable request, and the addresses, mailing labels and lists of security positions of such record holders or beneficial owners) as Parent, Merger Sub or either of their respective agents may reasonably request for the purpose of communicating the Offer to the record holders and beneficial owners of the shares of Company Common Stock. Subject to the requirements of applicable Law, and except for such steps as are necessary to disseminate the Offer Documents and any other documents necessary to consummate the Offer, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby, Parent and Merger Sub shall hold in confidence the information contained in any such labels, listings and files in accordance with the Confidentiality Agreement and shall use such information only in connection with the Offer and the Merger and, if this Agreement shall be terminated, shall promptly deliver (and shall use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to cause their agents and Representatives to deliver) to the Company or destroy all copies and any extract or summaries of such information then in their possession or control.

Section 1.03 Directors.

(a) Effective upon the Offer Closing and from time to time thereafter, Parent shall be entitled to designate the number of directors, rounded up to the next whole number, on the Company Board that equals the product of (i) the total number of directors on the Company Board (giving effect to the election of any additional directors pursuant to this Section 1.03(a)) and (ii) the percentage that the number of shares of Company Common Stock beneficially owned by Parent and/or Merger Sub (including shares accepted for payment) bears to the total number of shares of Company Common Stock outstanding, and the Company shall cause Parent’s designees to be elected or appointed to the Company Board, including by increasing the number of directors and seeking and accepting resignations of incumbent directors. At such time as Parent has appointed directors to the Company Board pursuant to the foregoing sentence (the “Appointment Time”), the Company shall also cause individuals designated by Parent to constitute the number of members, rounded up to the next whole number, on (A) each committee of the Company Board (other than the special committee of the Company Board previously formed to oversee the Company’s review of strategic alternatives (the “Special Committee”) which shall be constituted by, and carry out the functions and have the rights and responsibilities of the Independent Directors (as defined below) from the Offer Closing to the Effective Time) requested by Parent, and (B) each board of directors of each Subsidiary of the Company (and each committee thereof) as reasonably requested by Parent, in each case that represents the same percentage as such individuals represent on the Company Board.

(b) The Company’s obligations to appoint Parent’s designees to the Company Board shall be subject to Section 14(f) of the Exchange Act and Rule 14f-1 promulgated thereunder. The Company shall promptly take all actions reasonably required to effect the appointment of Parent’s designees, including mailing to its shareholders information with respect to the Company and its officers and directors, to the extent required by Section 14(f) and Rule 14f-1 in order to fulfill its obligations under this Section 1.03(b), which, in the Company’s discretion, may be mailed together with the Schedule 14D-9. Parent shall supply to the Company in writing and be solely responsible for any information with

respect to itself and its nominees, officers, directors and Affiliates required by Section 14(f) and Rule 14f-1 and the Company’s obligations under Section 1.03(a) hereof shall be subject to the receipt of such information.

(c) In the event that Parent’s designees are elected or designated to the Company Board pursuant to the provisions of Section 1.03(a), then, until the Effective Time, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Company Board to have at least three (3) directors who each are directors of the Company on the date hereof or their successors (such directors, the “Independent Directors”); provided, however, that, if any Independent Director is unable to serve due to resignation, death or disability or any other reason, the remaining Independent Directors shall be entitled to elect or designate another individual (or individuals) (provided, that no such individual is an employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries) to fill the vacancy, and such director (or directors) shall be deemed to be an Independent Director for purposes of this Agreement. If no Independent Director remains prior to the Effective Time, a majority of the members of the Company Board at the time of the execution of this Agreement shall be entitled to designate three (3) persons to fill such vacancies; provided, that such individuals shall not be employees or officers of the Company, Parent or Merger Sub and shall be reasonably satisfactory to Parent, and such persons shall be deemed Independent Directors for purposes of this Agreement.

(d) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, following the Appointment Time and until the Effective Time, the affirmative vote of a majority of the Independent Directors (or the approval of the sole Independent Director if there shall only be one Independent Director) shall be required to authorize (and such authorization shall constitute the authorization of the Company Board and no other action on the part of the Company, including any action by any other director of the Company, shall be required to authorize): (i) any termination of this Agreement by the Company, (ii) any amendment of this Agreement on behalf of the Company, (iii) any extension of time for performance of any obligation or action hereunder by Parent or Merger Sub, (iv) any waiver of compliance with any of the agreements, rights, remedies or conditions contained herein for the benefit of the Company, (v) any contract between the Company and any of its Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and Parent, Merger Sub and any of their affiliates (other than the Company and any of its Subsidiaries), on the other hand, (vi) any amendment of the Company Charter or Company Bylaws if such action would adversely affect the Company’s shareholders (other than Parent or Merger Sub) or the rights of the Indemnified Parties pursuant to Section 6.08, (vii) any other action by the Company in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby required to be taken by the Company Board, or (viii) any other action adversely affecting the rights of the shareholders of the Company (other than Parent or Merger Sub).

(e) The Independent Directors will have the authority to (i) retain a single law firm to act as counsel for the Independent Directors as a group (which may be any current counsel to the Company and/or the Special Committee) at the reasonable expense of the Company, and (ii) take such other actions as shall be reasonably necessary or appropriate for the purpose of fulfilling their obligations hereunder, in the case of each of (i) and (ii) above, at the reasonable expense of the Company, provided that, in the event that such actions under (ii) above are not related to matters set forth in Section 1.03(d) above, any such expenses must be approved in writing by Parent in advance, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Following the election or appointment of Parent’s designees pursuant to Section 1.03(a) and until the Effective Time, any action by the Company to enforce any obligation of Parent or Merger Sub under this Agreement shall be effected only by the action of a majority of the Independent Directors (or the approval of the sole Independent Director if there shall only be one Independent Director).

Section 1.04 Top-Up Option.

(a) The Company hereby grants to Merger Sub an irrevocable option (the “Top-Up Option”), exercisable only on the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 1.04, to purchase at a price per share equal to (i) the Offer Price paid in the Offer plus (ii) a CPR, that number of shares of Company Common Stock (the “Top-Up Shares”) equal to the lowest number of shares of Company Common Stock that, when added to the number of shares of Company Common Stock owned by Parent and Merger Sub at the time of exercise of the Top-Up Option, shall constitute one share more than 90% of the Fully Diluted Shares immediately after the issuance of the Top-Up Shares (the “Short Form Threshold”); provided, that the Top-Up Option will not be exercisable unless, immediately after such exercise and the issuance of Top-Up Shares pursuant thereto, the Short Form Threshold would be reached (after giving effect to the issuance of the Top-Up Shares); provided, further, that (i) the Top-Up Option shall not be exercisable for a number of shares of Company Common Stock in excess of the shares of Company Common Stock authorized and unissued at the time of exercise of the Top-Up Option (giving effect to the shares of Company Common Stock issuable pursuant to all then-outstanding stock options, restricted stock units and any other rights to acquire Company Common Stock as if such shares were outstanding) and (ii) the exercise of the Top-Up Option and the issuance and delivery of the Top-Up Shares shall not be prohibited by any Law or Order.

(b) The Top-Up Option shall be exercisable only once, in whole but not in part, at any time prior to the third (3rd) Business Day following the purchase of and payment for shares of Company Common Stock pursuant to the Offer by Merger Sub, or if any subsequent offering period is provided, during the three (3)-Business Day period following the expiration date of such subsequent offering period, and only if Merger Sub shall beneficially own as of such time at least a majority of the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock.

(c) In the event Merger Sub wishes to exercise the Top-Up Option, Merger Sub shall notify the Company in writing, and shall set forth in such notice (i) the number of shares of the Company Common Stock owned by Parent and Merger Sub at the time of such notice (giving effect to the Offer Closing) and (ii) a place and a time for the closing of such purchase which shall, unless the Independent Directors otherwise agree, be at the Company’s principal offices not less than one (1) Business Day after receipt of such notice. The Company shall, promptly following receipt of such notice, deliver written notice to Merger Sub specifying, based on the information provided by Merger Sub in its notice, the number of Top-Up Shares to be purchased by Merger Sub. At the closing of the purchase of Top-Up Shares, the purchase price payable for each Top-Up Share shall consist of (i) an amount equal to the Offer Price (the “Initial Top-Up Payment”) plus (ii) a CPR. The aggregate Initial Top-Up Payment (calculated by multiplying the number of such Top-Up Shares by the Offer Price) shall be paid to the Company at Parent’s election, either (i) entirely in cash, by wire transfer of same-day funds or (ii) by issuing to the Company a promissory note having a principal amount equal to the aggregate purchase price pursuant to the Top-Up Option (the “Promissory Note”). The Promissory Note (i) shall bear simple interest at a rate of four percent (4.0%) per annum, (ii) shall mature on the first anniversary of the date of execution of the Promissory Note, (iii) shall be full recourse to Parent and Merger Sub, (iv) may be prepaid, at any time, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty, and (v) shall have no other material terms, provided, however, that the Promissory Note and the issuance of the Top-Up Shares shall in any case be in compliance with all of the requirements of Section 0-000-000 of the CBCA. The CPR shall be payable in cash, as provided in the CPR Agreement. The Company shall cause to be issued to Merger Sub a certificate representing the Top-Up Shares or, if the Company does not then have certificated shares of Company Stock, the applicable number of Book-Entry Shares. Such certificates or Book-Entry Shares may include any legends that are required by federal or state securities Laws.

(d) In the event Merger Sub wishes to exercise the Top-Up Option, Merger Sub shall notify the Company in writing, and shall set forth in such notice (i) the number of shares of the Company Common Stock owned by Parent and Merger Sub at the time of such notice (giving effect to the Offer Closing), (ii) the manner in which it intends to pay the Initial Top-Up Payment, and (iii) a place and a time for the closing of such purchase which shall, unless the Independent Directors otherwise agree, be at the Company’s principal offices not less than one (1) Business Day after receipt of such notice. The Company shall, promptly following receipt of such notice, deliver written notice to Merger Sub specifying, based on the information provided by Merger Sub in its notice, the number of Top-Up Shares to be purchased by Merger Sub.

(e) Parent and Merger Sub acknowledge that any Top-Up Shares issued upon exercise of the Top-Up Option will not be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Securities Act”) and that all such shares will be issued in reliance upon an applicable exemption from registration under the Securities Act. Each of Parent and Merger Sub hereby represents and warrants to the Company that Merger Sub is, and will be, upon the purchase of the Top-Up Shares, an “accredited investor,” as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D under the Securities Act. Merger Sub agrees that the Top-Up Option and the Top-Up Shares to be acquired upon exercise of the Top-Up Option are being and will be acquired by Merger Sub for the purpose of investment and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any distribution thereof (within the meaning of the Securities Act).

(f) Any dilutive impact on the value of the shares of Company Common Stock as a result of the issuance of the Top-Up Shares or the payment by Merger Sub to the Company of consideration for the Top-Up Shares, will not be taken into account in any determination of the fair value of any Dissenting Shares pursuant to Article 113 of the CBCA as contemplated by Section 3.03 and none of the parties hereto shall take any contrary position in any appraisal proceeding.

(g) Without the prior written consent of the Company, the right to exercise the Top-Up Option granted pursuant to this Agreement may not be assigned by Merger Sub other than to Parent or a direct or indirect wholly-owned Subsidiary of Parent, including by operation of Law or otherwise, and any attempted assignment in violation of this Section 1.04(e) will be null and void.

ARTICLE III

EFFECT OF THE MERGER ON CAPITAL STOCK

Section 3.01 Effect of the Merger on Capital Stock. At the Effective Time and subject to the provisions of this Agreement, as a result of the Merger and without any action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub or the Company or the holder of any capital stock of Parent, Merger Sub or the Company:

(a) Cancellation of Certain Company Common Stock. Each share of Company Common Stock that is owned by Parent, Merger Sub or the Company (as treasury stock or otherwise) or any of their respective direct or indirect wholly-owned Subsidiaries will automatically be cancelled and retired and will cease to exist, and no consideration will be delivered in exchange therefor.

(b) Conversion of Company Common Stock. Each share of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than (i) shares to be cancelled and retired in accordance with Section 3.01(a), and (ii) Dissenting Shares) will be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration. At the Effective Time, all shares of Company Common Stock will no longer be outstanding and all shares of Company Common Stock will be cancelled and retired and will cease to exist, and, subject to Section 3.03, each holder of a certificate formerly representing any such shares (each, a “Certificate”) will cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the Merger Consideration in accordance with Section 3.02 hereof.

(c) Conversion of Merger Sub Capital Stock. Each common share of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and become one (1) newly issued, fully paid and non-assessable common share of the Surviving Corporation.

Section 3.02 Surrender and Payment.

(a) Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall appoint the Company’s transfer agent (or such other financial institution to which the Company and Parent agree) (the “Exchange Agent”) to act as the agent for the purpose of exchanging the Merger Consideration for: (i) the Certificates, and (ii) book-entry shares which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented the shares of Company Common Stock (the “Book-Entry Shares”). The Exchange Agent shall serve in such capacity pursuant to an agreement between Parent and the Exchange Agent (the “Exchange Agent Agreement”), a copy of which Exchange Agent Agreement shall be provided to the Company and its counsel for its review and comment prior to its execution by Parent and the Exchange Agent and which comments shall be given good faith consideration by Parent and its counsel. Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall deposit, or cause Merger Sub to deposit, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, to an account designated in writing by the Exchange Agent, in trust for the benefit of the holders of Certificates and Book-Entry Shares, sufficient funds to pay the aggregate Merger Consideration that is payable in respect of all of the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock represented by the Certificates and the Book-Entry Shares (the “Payment Fund”). The Payment Fund shall not be used for any purpose other than to fund payments to holders of Company Common Stock pursuant hereto. If for any reason the Payment Fund is inadequate to pay the amounts to which holders of shares shall be entitled under Section 3.01(b), Parent shall take all steps necessary to enable or cause the Surviving Corporation promptly to deposit in trust additional cash with the Exchange Agent sufficient to make all payments required under this Agreement, and Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall in any event be liable for the payment thereof. The Surviving Corporation shall pay all charges and expenses, including those of the Exchange Agent, in connection with the

exchange of shares of Company Common Stock for the Merger Consideration. As soon as practicable, but in event no later than three (3) Business Days following the Effective Time, Parent shall send, or shall cause the Exchange Agent to send, to each record holder of shares of Company Common Stock at the Effective Time, (i) a letter of transmittal (which shall be in customary form and have such other provisions as Parent and the Company shall reasonably agree and shall specify that the delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss shall pass, only upon proper delivery of the Certificates, or Loss Documentation in lieu thereof as provided in Section 3.06, or transfer of the Book-Entry Shares to the Exchange Agent), and (ii) instructions for effecting the surrender of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares for the Merger Consideration.

(b) Each holder of shares of Company Common Stock that have been converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration shall be entitled to receive the Merger Consideration in respect of the Company Common Stock represented by a Certificate or Book-Entry Share upon (i) surrender to the Exchange Agent of a Certificate, together with a duly completed and validly executed letter of transmittal and such other documents as may reasonably be requested by the Exchange Agent, or (ii) receipt of an “agent’s message” by the Exchange Agent (or such other evidence, if any, of transfer as the Exchange Agent may reasonably request) in the case of Book-Entry Shares. Until so surrendered or transferred, as the case may be, and subject to the terms set forth in Section 3.03, each such Certificate or Book-Entry Share, as applicable, shall represent after the Effective Time, for all purposes, only the right to receive the Merger Consideration payable in respect thereof. No interest shall be paid or accrued on the cash payable upon the surrender or transfer of any Certificate or Book-Entry Share. Upon payment of the Merger Consideration pursuant to the provisions of this Article III, each Certificate or Certificates so surrendered shall immediately be cancelled.

(c) If any portion of the Merger Consideration is to be paid to a Person other than the Person in whose name the surrendered Certificate or the transferred Book-Entry Share, as applicable, is registered, it shall be a condition to such payment that (i) such Certificate shall be properly endorsed or shall otherwise be in proper form for transfer or such Book-Entry Share shall be properly transferred, and (ii) the Person requesting such payment shall pay to the Exchange Agent any transfer or other Tax required as a result of such payment to a Person other than the registered holder of such Certificate or Book-Entry Share, as applicable, or establish to the reasonable satisfaction of the Exchange Agent that such Tax has been paid or is not payable.

(d) All Merger Consideration paid upon the surrender of Certificates or transfer of Book-Entry Shares in accordance with the terms hereof shall be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to the shares of Company Common Stock formerly represented by such Certificate or Book-Entry Shares. At the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of the Surviving Corporation shall be closed and thereafter there shall be no further registration of transfers of shares of Company Common Stock on the stock transfer books of the Surviving Corporation. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates or Book-Entry Shares are presented to the Surviving Corporation, they shall be cancelled and exchanged for the Merger Consideration provided for, and in accordance with the procedures set forth, in this Article III.

(e) The payment of any transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration, value added and other such Taxes and fees (including any penalties and interest) incurred by a holder of Company Common Stock in connection with the Merger, and the filing of any related Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to such Taxes and fees, shall be the sole responsibility of such holder.

(f) In no event shall the holder of any surrendered certificates (or evidence of shares in book-entry form) representing Company Common Stock be entitled to receive interest on any of the Merger Consideration.

(g) The Exchange Agent shall invest any of the funds deposited with the Exchange Agent as directed by Parent; provided, however, that (i) such investments shall be in short-term obligations of or guaranteed by the United States of America or any agency or instrumentality thereof and backed by the full faith and credit of the United States of America, in commercial paper obligations rated A-1 or P-1 or better by Xxxxx’x Investors Service, Inc. or Standard & Poor’s Corporation, respectively, or in certificates of deposit, bank repurchase agreements or banker’s acceptances of commercial banks with capital exceeding $1 billion (based on the most recent financial statements of such bank that are then publicly available), and (ii) no such investment shall have maturities that could prevent or delay payments to be made pursuant to this Agreement. Any net profit resulting from, or interest or income produced by, such investments shall be payable to Parent or an affiliate of Parent as Parent directs; provided, however, that any net loss resulting from such investments shall be promptly reimbursed by Parent to the Payment Fund upon demand by the Exchange Agent. No investment of the Merger Consideration funds shall relieve Parent, the Surviving Corporation or the Exchange Agent from making payments required by this Article III. The Payment Fund shall not be used for any purpose other than as set forth in this Section 3.02.

(h) Any portion of the Payment Fund (including any interest or other amounts earned with respect thereto) that remains unclaimed by the holders of shares of Company Common Stock 180 days after the Effective Time shall be returned to Parent, upon demand, and any such holder who has not exchanged shares of Company Common Stock for the Merger Consideration in accordance with this Section 3.02 prior to that time shall thereafter look only to Parent (subject to abandoned property, escheat and other similar laws) for payment of the Merger Consideration, without interest, that may be payable upon due surrender of the Certificates or Book-Entry Shares held by them.

Section 3.03 Dissenting Shares.

(a) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, including Section 3.01, any issued and outstanding shares of Company Common Stock held by a Dissenting Shareholder (“Dissenting Shares”) shall not be converted into the Merger Consideration. At the Effective Time, all Dissenting Shares shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled and shall cease to exist, and each Dissenting Shareholder shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except that the Dissenting Shareholders shall have the right to receive such consideration as may be determined to be due to such Dissenting Shareholder pursuant to Article 113 of the CBCA; provided, however, that each share of Company Common Stock outstanding immediately before the Effective Time and held by a Dissenting Shareholder who, after the Effective Time, effectively withdraws or loses his or her dissenters’ rights pursuant to the CBCA, shall be deemed to be converted as of the Effective Time into the right to receive the Merger Consideration in accordance with Section 3.01, without any interest thereon, upon surrender of such Certificate formerly representing such share or transfer of such Book-Entry Share, as the case may be. As used in this Agreement, the term “Dissenting Shareholder” means any record holder or beneficial owner of shares of Company Common Stock who is statutorily entitled to exercise appraisal rights and who duly complies with all provisions of the CBCA concerning the right of holders of Company Common Stock to dissent from the Merger and seek appraisal of their shares.

(b) The Company shall give Parent (i) prompt notice of any demands for appraisal pursuant to the applicable provisions of the CBCA received by the Company, withdrawals of such demands, and any other instruments served pursuant to the CBCA and received by the Company and (ii) the opportunity to participate in and, after the Offer Closing, direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to dissenters’ rights under the CBCA. The Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of Parent, make any payment with respect to any such demands for appraisal or offer to settle or settle any such demands.

Section 3.04 Adjustments. Without limiting the other provisions of this Agreement, if at any time during the period between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time, any change in the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company shall occur (other than the issuance of additional shares of capital stock of the Company as permitted by Section 6.01(c) or pursuant to the exercise of the Top-Up Option pursuant to Section 1.04), including by reason of any reclassification, recapitalization, stock split (including reverse stock split) or combination, exchange or readjustment of shares, or any stock dividend or distribution paid in stock, the Offer Price and the Merger Consideration (as applicable) and any other amounts payable pursuant to this Agreement shall be appropriately adjusted to fairly reflect such change.

Section 3.05 Withholding Rights. Each of the Exchange Agent, Parent, Merger Sub and the Surviving Corporation shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the Offer Price and the Merger Consideration, as the case may be, otherwise payable to any Person pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as may be required to be deducted and withheld with respect to the making of such payment under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and applicable Treasury Regulations issued pursuant thereto, or any provision of state, local or foreign Tax law. To the extent that amounts are so deducted and withheld by the Exchange Agent, Parent, Merger Sub or the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, and remitted to the appropriate taxing authority, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which the Exchange Agent, Parent, Merger Sub or the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, made such deduction and withholding.

Section 3.06 Lost Certificates. If any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Parent by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by Parent, the posting by such Person of a bond, in such amount as Parent may reasonably direct (such affidavit and, if requested by Parent, posting of a bond, the “Loss Documentation”), as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, the Exchange Agent will issue, in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate, the Merger Consideration to be paid in respect of the shares of Company Common Stock formerly represented by such Certificate as contemplated under this Article III.

Section 3.07 Treatment of Stock Options and Other Stock-based Compensation.

(a) At the Effective Time, each option to acquire shares of Company Common Stock and each right to receive appreciation with respect to shares of Company Common Stock (each, a “Company Stock Right”) that is outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether or not then vested or exercisable, shall be, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company, the holder of that Company Stock Right or any other Person, cancelled and converted into the right to receive from Parent and the Surviving Corporation, as promptly as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time (and in any event within three (3) Business Days thereof), an amount in cash, without interest, equal to the product of (x) the aggregate number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Company Stock Right as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, multiplied by (y) the positive excess, if any, of the Merger Consideration (including the amount of any Contingent Cash Payment payable in respect of a CPR) over the per share exercise price (with respect to stock options) or base amount (with respect to stock appreciation rights) under such Company Stock Right, less any Taxes required to be withheld in accordance with Section 3.05. In the event that the per share exercise price (with respect to stock options) or base amount (with respect to stock appreciation rights) of such Company Stock Right is equal to or greater than the Merger Consideration (including the amount of any Contingent Cash Payment payable in respect of a CPR), such Company Stock Right will be cancelled without consideration and have no further force or effect.

(b) At the Effective Time, each restricted stock unit award, restricted stock award, performance share unit award and other right, contingent or accrued, to acquire or receive shares of Company Common Stock or benefits measured by the value of such shares, and each award of any kind consisting of shares of Company Common Stock held, awarded, outstanding, or payable under any Company Stock Plan, other than Company Stock Rights (each, a “Company Stock Award”) immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether or not then vested or exercisable, shall be, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company, the holder of that Company Stock Award or any other Person, cancelled and converted into the right to receive from Parent and the Surviving Corporation, as promptly as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time (and in any event within three (3) Business Days thereof), an amount in cash, without interest, equal to the product of (x) the aggregate number of shares of Company Common Stock in respect of such Company Stock Award as of immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by (y) the Merger Consideration(including the amount of any Contingent Cash Payment payable in respect of a CPR), less any Taxes required to be withheld in accordance with Section 3.05, subject, however, with respect to holders of restricted stock awards, to any rights of such holder pursuant to Section 3.03.

(c) At or prior to the Effective Time, the Company, the Company Board and the compensation committee of such board, as applicable, shall adopt any resolutions and amendments and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any employee consents that may be necessary to effectuate the provisions of paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section 3.07.

(b) Organizational Documents.

The Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, and shall direct and use reasonable best efforts to cause its and their respective Representatives to, immediately cease and cause to be terminated, and shall not authorize or knowingly permit any of its or their Representatives to continue, any and all existing discussions or negotiations, if any, with any third party conducted prior to the date hereof with respect to any Takeover Proposal.

(b) Notwithstanding Section 6.04(a), prior to the Offer Closing, the Company Board, directly or indirectly through any Representative, may, subject to compliance with Sections 6.04(c) and 6.04(d), (i) (A) in response to a bona fide written Takeover Proposal made after the date hereof that the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with the Company’s outside legal counsel and the Company Financial Advisor, constitutes, or would reasonably be expected to result in, a Superior Proposal, and which Takeover Proposal did not result from a breach of Section 6.04(a), (1) contact the Person making such Takeover Proposal for the purpose of clarifying the proposal and any material contingencies and the likelihood of consummation to make the determinations described in the definition of “Superior Proposal,” (2) furnish non-public information relating to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to the Person making such Takeover Proposal and its Representatives pursuant to an executed confidentiality agreement that constitutes an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement, and (3) engage or participate in negotiations or discussions with such Person and its Representatives regarding such Takeover Proposal, and (B) if requested by a Third Party that has entered into a confidentiality, standstill or similar agreement with the Company prior to the date hereof (including where such request is prohibited under the terms of the applicable confidentiality and standstill agreement), waive any prohibition with respect to the submission of a Takeover Proposal or amendment thereto in any such agreement, in any such case, if the Company Board determines, in good faith, after consultation with the Company’s outside legal counsel and the Company Financial Advisor, that failure to do so would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law, (ii) terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.04(a) and/or make a Company Adverse Recommendation Change in response to a material event, development or change in circumstance (not in connection with a Takeover Proposal) that is unknown by the Company Board as of the date of this Agreement, if the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with the Company’s outside legal counsel and the Company Financial Advisor, that the failure to do so would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law; provided that the Company shall provide Parent with no fewer than three (3) days’ notice of any Company Adverse Recommendation Change prior to such change (and during such three (3) day period, the Company agrees that the Company and its Representatives shall negotiate in good faith with Parent and its Representatives regarding such revisions to the terms of the Offer, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement proposed by Parent as shall be necessary or appropriate to address such event, development or change in circumstances), provided, that in the event of a termination of this Agreement pursuant to this clause (ii), the Company complies with its obligations to pay the

Termination Fee in Section 8.06(b)), (iii) if the Company Board determines in response to a Takeover Proposal that such proposal is a Superior Proposal, and the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with the Company’s outside legal counsel and the Company Financial Advisor, that the failure to do so would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law, terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.04(a) and/or make a Company Adverse Recommendation Change and, in the case of a termination, the Company shall, substantially concurrently with the termination of this Agreement, enter into the Company Acquisition Agreement implementing such Superior Proposal provided, that in the event of a termination of this Agreement pursuant to this clause (iii), the Company complies with its obligations to pay the Termination Fee in Section 8.06(b) and/or (iv) take any action that any court of competent jurisdiction orders the Company to take (which Order remains unstayed). Nothing contained herein shall prevent the Company Board from disclosing to the Company’s shareholders a position contemplated by Rule 14d-9 and Rule 14e-2(a) or Item 1012(a) of Regulation M-A promulgated under the Exchange Act or from making any disclosure to the shareholders of the Company with regard to a Takeover Proposal, if the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with the Company’s outside legal counsel, that failure to do so could reasonably be expected to violate applicable Law or would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law.

(c) The Company shall, within forty-eight (48) hours after receipt thereof, (i) notify Parent in writing of the receipt by the Company or any of its Representatives of any Takeover Proposal or request for information or inquiry, in each case, from any third party, that expressly contemplates or that the Company believes would reasonably be expected to lead to a Takeover Proposal, and (ii) the third party making, and details of the material terms and conditions of, any such Takeover Proposal, request or inquiry (including any change to the financial terms, conditions or other material terms thereof and the terms of any and all agreements in connection therewith (including any financial arrangements)). The Company shall keep Parent reasonably informed of any related material developments, discussions and negotiations related to any such Takeover Proposal or inquiry and shall make available to Parent all material non-public information made available to any Person making any such Takeover Proposal at substantially the same time as it provides such information to such other Person.

(d) The Company may not enter into (or permit any Subsidiary to enter into) a Company Acquisition Agreement (other than an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement), unless: (i) the Company notifies Parent, in writing, at least three (3) days (the “Notice Period”) before entering into (or causing a Subsidiary to enter into) a Company Acquisition Agreement, of its intention to take such action, which notice shall state expressly that the Company has received a Takeover Proposal that the Company Board intends to declare a Superior Proposal and that the Company intends to enter into a Company Acquisition Agreement; (ii) the Company attaches to such notice the most current version of the proposed agreement; (iii) the Company shall, during the Notice Period, negotiate with Parent in good faith to make such adjustments in the terms and conditions of this Agreement so that such Takeover Proposal ceases to constitute a Superior Proposal, if Parent, in its discretion, proposes to make such adjustments (it being agreed that in the event that, after commencement of the Notice Period, there is any material revision to the terms of a Superior Proposal, including any revision to price or form of consideration or any material change to other terms of such Superior Proposal occurring prior to the Company’s effecting a Company Adverse Recommendation Change or terminating this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.04(a), the Notice Period shall be extended, if applicable, to ensure that at least two (2) Business Days remain in the Notice Period subsequent to the time the Company notifies Parent of any such material revision (it being understood that there may be multiple extensions)); and (iv) the Company Board determines in good faith, after consulting with its outside legal counsel and its Company Financial Advisor, that such Takeover Proposal continues to constitute a Superior Proposal after taking into account any adjustments made by Parent during the Notice Period in the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

Section 6.05 Shareholders Meeting; Preparation of Proxy Materials.

(a) Subject to the terms set forth in this Agreement, if the adoption of this Agreement by the Company’s shareholders is required under applicable Law, the Company shall take all action necessary to duly call, give notice of, convene and hold a meeting of its shareholders (the “Company Shareholders Meeting”) as soon as reasonably practicable after the Offer Closing, and, in connection therewith, the Company shall mail the Company Proxy Statement to the holders of Company Common Stock in advance of such meeting. The record date for the Company Shareholders Meeting shall be determined in prior consultation with and subject to the prior written approval of Parent (which prior written approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Except to the extent that the Company Board shall have effected a Company Adverse Recommendation Change as permitted by Section 6.04(b) hereof, the Company shall (i) solicit or cause to be solicited from its shareholders proxies in favor of adoption of this Agreement, and (ii) take all other reasonable action as shall be necessary or advisable to secure the Company Requisite Vote (including, in the Company Board’s discretion, postponing or adjourning the Company Shareholders Meeting to obtain a quorum or solicit additional proxies). Except to the extent that the Company Board shall have effected a Company Adverse Recommendation Change as permitted by Section 6.04(b) hereof, the Company Proxy Statement shall include the Company Board Recommendation. If adoption of this Agreement by the Company’s shareholders is required by applicable Law, unless this Agreement shall be terminated in accordance with its terms, the Company shall be obligated to call, give notice of, convene and hold the Company Shareholders Meeting following the Offer Closing, and submit this Agreement to its shareholders for adoption, regardless of whether a Company Adverse Recommendation Change has occurred.

(b) If the adoption of this Agreement by the Company’s shareholders is required by applicable Law, subject to the provisions of Article VIII hereof, the Company shall as soon as practicable prepare and file the Company Proxy Statement with the SEC. Parent, Merger Sub and the Company will cooperate and consult with each other in the preparation of the Company Proxy Statement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each of Parent and Merger Sub shall promptly furnish to the Company all information concerning Parent and Merger Sub required by the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder to be set forth in the Company Proxy Statement. The Company shall not file the Company Proxy Statement, or any amendment or supplement thereto, without providing Parent, Merger Sub and their counsel a reasonable opportunity to review and comment thereon (which comments shall be reasonably considered in good faith by the Company). The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to resolve, and each party agrees to consult and cooperate with the other party in resolving, all SEC comments with respect to the Company Proxy Statement as promptly as practicable after receipt thereof and to cause the Company Proxy Statement in definitive form to be cleared by the SEC and mailed to the Company’s shareholders as promptly as reasonably practicable following filing with the SEC. The Company shall consult with Parent prior to responding to SEC comments with respect to the preliminary Company Proxy Statement. Each of Parent, Merger Sub and the Company shall promptly correct any information provided by it for use in the Company Proxy Statement if and to the extent that such information shall have become false or misleading in any material respect and, if applicable, the Company shall promptly prepare and mail to its shareholders an amendment or supplement setting forth such correction. The Company shall as soon as reasonably practicable (i) notify Parent of the receipt of any comments from the SEC with respect to the Company Proxy Statement and any request by the SEC for any amendment to the Company Proxy Statement or for additional information and (ii) provide Parent with copies of all written correspondence between the Company and its Representatives, on the one hand, and the SEC, on the other hand, with respect to the Company Proxy Statement.

(c) Parent will cause all shares of Company Common Stock purchased by Parent or Merger Sub pursuant to the Offer and all other shares of Company Common Stock owned by Parent or

Merger Sub to be voted in favor of the adoption of this Agreement at the Company Shareholders Meeting. Parent and Merger Sub will not, and they will cause their direct and indirect Subsidiaries not to, sell, transfer, assign, encumber or otherwise dispose of the shares of Company Common Stock beneficially owned by Parent or Merger Sub prior to the Company Shareholders Meeting, if required.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing and anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if, following the Offer Closing and the exercise, if any, of the Top-Up Option, the shares of Company Common Stock beneficially owned by Parent, Merger Sub and their Affiliates equal or exceed the Short Form Threshold, the parties hereto shall take all necessary and appropriate action, including with respect to the transfer to Merger Sub of any shares of Company Common Stock held by Parent or its Affiliates, to cause the Merger to become effective as soon as practicable following the Offer Closing without the Company Shareholders Meeting in accordance with Section 0-000-000 of the CBCA.

Section 6.06 Notices of Certain Events. The Company shall notify Parent and Merger Sub, and Parent and Merger Sub shall notify the Company, promptly of (a) any material notice or other communication from any Person alleging that the consent of such Person is or may be required in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including a copy of such notice or communication to the extent in writing), (b) any notice or other written communication from any Governmental Entity in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including a copy of such notice or communication to the extent in writing), (c) any Legal Actions commenced, or to such party’s knowledge, threatened, against the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Parent or its Subsidiaries, as applicable, that are related to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and (d) any change that would reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Company Material Adverse Effect or a Parent Material Adverse Effect, as applicable. In addition, the Company shall notify Parent and Merger Sub, and Parent and Merger Sub shall notify the Company, promptly after obtaining knowledge of (i) the occurrence, or non-occurrence, of any event that would be likely to cause any condition (including any of the conditions set forth in Exhibit A) to the obligations of the other party to effect the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement not to be satisfied, or (ii) the failure of Company on the one hand or Parent or Merger Sub on the other, to comply with or satisfy any covenant, condition or agreement to be complied with or satisfied by it pursuant to this Agreement that would reasonably be expected to result in any condition to the obligations of the other party to effect the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement not to be satisfied; provided, however, that the delivery of any such notice shall not cure any breach of any representation or warranty, the failure to comply with any covenant, the failure to meet any condition or otherwise limit or affect the remedies available hereunder to the party receiving such notice.

Section 6.07 Employees; Benefit Plans.

(a) Continuing Employees. This Section shall apply to each employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries who is classified by the Company or such Subsidiary as a regular full-time employee, whose terms and conditions of employment are not subject to a collective bargaining agreement and who is employed in such capacity by the Company or such Subsidiary at the Effective Time (collectively, the “Company Continuing Employees”).

(b) Comparability of Compensation and Benefits. For the period beginning at the Offer Closing and ending on a date not earlier than the first anniversary of the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries, as applicable, to provide to the Company Continuing Employees base salary, wages, bonus opportunities (but without regard to the timing of the payment of any bonus, performance goals or targets or duration of the performance period to which the bonus relates) and employee benefits (other than equity-based compensation arrangements), that in the aggregate are substantially comparable to the pay, bonus opportunities and employee benefits (other than

equity-based compensation arrangements) provided to such employees immediately prior to the Effective Time; provided, however, that the parties do not intend to modify in any respect existing employment agreements with any Company Continuing Employee or, as applicable, the employment status of any Company Continuing Employee from being that of at-will employment, and nothing in the foregoing shall be deemed to constitute an agreement to retain any individual Company Continuing Employee for all or part of such one year period or pay any severance other than in connection with existing agreements and the policies and procedures of Parent.

(i) Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries, as applicable, to give each Company Continuing Employee full credit for purposes of eligibility, vesting and determination of level of benefits (but not benefit accrual under any employee pension benefit plan within the meaning of Section 3(2) of ERISA) under the employee benefit plans and arrangements (including employee benefit plans within the meaning of Section 3(3) of ERISA, vacation, paid time off and severance plans or arrangements) maintained or sponsored by Parent or any of its Subsidiaries in which such Company Continuing Employees participate after the Effective Time for services rendered by such Company Continuing Employees to Company and its Subsidiaries prior to the Effective Time; provided, however, that no such credit shall result in duplication of benefits or be required to be recognized under a newly established plan for which prior service is not taken into account for employees of Parent or any of its Subsidiaries or the Surviving Corporation generally. In addition, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and subject only to any required approval of the applicable insurance provider: (a) no such Company Continuing Employee shall have any waiting time to participate in any employee benefit plan and arrangement maintained or sponsored by Parent or any of its Subsidiaries in which such Company Continuing Employees participate after the Effective Time, and (b) providing medical, dental, pharmaceutical and/or vision benefits to any Company Continuing Employee, Parent shall cause all pre-existing condition exclusions and actively-at-work requirements of such plan to be waived for such employee and his or her covered dependents, and Parent shall cause any eligible expenses incurred by such employee and his or her covered dependents under a Company Plan during the portion of the plan year prior to the Effective Time to be taken into account under such plan for purposes of satisfying all deductible, co-insurance, co-payment and maximum out-of-pocket requirements applicable to such employee and his or her covered dependents for the applicable plan year as if such amounts had been paid in accordance with such plan.

(ii) Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries, as applicable, as of the Effective Time, to, by operation of law or otherwise, assume, honor and be responsible for paying, providing and satisfying when due, including payment in respect thereto upon any subsequent termination of employment of such employees by Parent or its Subsidiaries after the Effective Time, all vacation, personal days, sick pay and other paid time off for Company Continuing Employees accrued, but unused, through the Effective Time on terms and conditions not less favorable than the terms and conditions in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, except to the extent such satisfaction would result in a duplication of benefits.

(d) Termination of Qualified Plans. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, prior to Closing, the Company shall terminate any Employee Plan intended to be qualified under Code Section 401(a) or 403(a) unless otherwise directed in writing by Parent.

(e) Third Party Beneficiaries. The provisions of this Section 6.07 are intended to be for the sole benefit of, and will be enforceable by, the parties hereto, and nothing in this Section 6.07, whether express or implied, shall create any third-party beneficiary or other rights in any other Person,

(f) Limitations. Nothing contained herein, express or implied (i) shall be construed to establish, amend or modify any benefit plan, program, agreement or arrangement or (ii) shall alter or limit the ability of the Surviving Corporation, Parent or any of their respective Affiliates to amend, modify or terminate any benefit plan, program, agreement or arrangement at any time assumed, established, sponsored or maintained by any of them, so long as any such amendment, modification or termination is consistent with the provisions of this Section 6.07. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the terms set forth in this Section 6.07 shall not create any right in any employee of the Company or any Subsidiary, or any other Person, to any continued employment with the Surviving Corporation, Parent or any of their respective Affiliates.

(a) All rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses and exculpation by the Company now existing in favor of any Person who is now, or has been at any time prior to the date hereof or who becomes prior to the Effective Time an officer or director of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or at any time is or has been serving at the request of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries as a director, officer, fiduciary or trustee of a Company Employee Plan (each an “Indemnified Party”) as provided in the Company Organizational Documents, in each case as in effect on the date of this Agreement, or pursuant to any other Contracts in effect on the date hereof and as provided or made available to Parent prior to the date hereof and disclosed on Section 6.08 of the Company Disclosure Letter, shall be assumed by the Surviving Corporation in the Merger, without further action, at the Effective Time and shall survive the Merger and shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with their terms until the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations with respect to any claims against such Indemnified Parties, and, in the event that any proceeding is pending or asserted or any claim made during such period, until the final disposition of such proceeding or claim. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, for a period of six (6) years after the Effective Time, the articles of incorporation and bylaws of the Surviving Corporation shall contain provisions no less favorable to the Indemnified Parties, with respect to exculpation, indemnification and advancement of expenses for periods at or prior to the Effective Time, than are set forth, as of the date of this Agreement, in the Company Organizational Documents.

(b) For six (6) years after the Effective Time, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law, Parent and the Surviving Corporation (the “Indemnifying Parties”) shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless each Indemnified Party against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, fees, expenses (including reasonable legal fees and disbursements), obligations, judgments, fines and settlements (in the case of settlements, with the approval of an Indemnifying Party (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld)) (collectively, “Losses”) arising in whole or in part out of actions or omissions in their capacity as such occurring at or prior to the Effective Time (including in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement), and shall promptly advance or reimburse in accordance with Company Organization Documents and existing indemnification agreements, as applicable, each Indemnified Party any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with investigating or defending any such Losses as such expenses are incurred, subject to the Surviving Corporation’s receipt of an undertaking by such Indemnified Party to repay such legal and other fees and expenses paid in advance if it is ultimately determined in a final and non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction that such Indemnified Party is not entitled to be indemnified under applicable Law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Indemnifying Party shall be required to indemnify any Indemnified Party pursuant hereto if it shall be determined by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction that the Indemnified Party acted in bad faith and not in a manner such

Indemnified Party believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company.

(c) The Company shall obtain, at or prior to the Offer Closing, and effective on and after the Offer Closing, a prepaid, fully-earned and non-cancellable “tail” directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy in respect of acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Effective Time with a claims period of six (6) years from the Effective Time, covering each Person who is covered by any such policy on the date of this Agreement, with the coverage and amounts and containing terms and conditions that are not less advantageous to the directors and officers of the Company and its Subsidiaries than those of the directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy in effect on the date of this Agreement; provided, however, that the aggregate premium therefor is not in excess of 200% of the annual premium paid by the Company for coverage for its current policy year for such insurance, and if the premium therefor would be in excess of such amount, the Company shall purchase such “tail” policy with the greatest coverage available as to matters occurring prior to the Effective Time as is available for a cost not exceeding that premium amount; and in the event of an expiration, termination or cancellation of such policy, Parent or the Surviving Corporation shall be required to obtain as much coverage as is possible under substantially similar policies for such maximum aggregate amount. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any such tail policy may not be amended, modified, cancelled or revoked after the Offer Closing by the Company, Parent or the Surviving Corporation in any manner that is adverse to the beneficiaries. Such tail policy shall include appropriate language reflecting Parent as “Successor in Interest” in the interest of resolving any potential liabilities arising from claims brought after the Effective Time against Parent (as owner of the Surviving Corporation), or including Parent, in relation to acts by Company taking place on or before the Effective Time.

(d) The obligations of Parent and the Surviving Corporation under this Section 6.08 shall survive the consummation of the Merger and shall not be terminated or modified in such a manner as to adversely affect any Indemnified Party to whom this Section 6.08 applies without the consent of such affected Indemnified Party (it being expressly agreed that the Indemnified Parties to whom this Section 6.08 applies shall be third-party beneficiaries of this Section 6.08, each of whom may enforce the provisions of this Section 6.08).

(e) In the event Parent, the Surviving Corporation 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 in such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in either such case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Parent or the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, shall assume all of the obligations set forth in this Section 6.08. The agreements and covenants contained herein shall not be deemed to be exclusive of any other rights to which any Indemnified Party is entitled, whether pursuant to Law, Contract or otherwise. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to, shall be construed to or shall release, waive or impair any rights to directors’ and officers’ insurance claims under any policy that is or has been in existence with respect to the Company or its officers, directors and employees, it being understood and agreed that the indemnification provided for in this Section 6.08 is not prior to, or in substitution for, any such claims under any such policies.

To the extent reasonably practicable, the parties or their Representatives shall have the right to review in advance and each of the parties will consult the others on, all the information relating to the other and each of their respective Subsidiaries that appears in any filing made with, or written materials submitted to, any Governmental Entity in connection with the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except that confidential competitively sensitive business information may be redacted from such exchanges. Each party hereto shall promptly inform and provide a copy to the other party or parties hereto, as the case may be, of any communication from any Governmental Entity regarding any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Any action taken by the Company that is permissible under Section 6.04 shall not be a violation of this Section 6.09(a).

(b) In the event that any administrative or judicial action or proceeding is instituted (or threatened to be instituted) by a Governmental Entity or private party challenging the Offer, the Merger or any other transaction contemplated by this Agreement, or any other agreement contemplated hereby, each of the parties hereto shall use its reasonable best efforts to contest and resist any such action or proceeding and to have vacated, lifted, reversed or overturned any Order, whether temporary, preliminary or permanent, that is in effect and that prohibits, prevents or restricts consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Section 6.10 Public Announcements. The initial press release with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be a release mutually agreed to by the Company and Parent. Thereafter, each of the Company, Parent and Merger Sub shall consult with and obtain the approval of each other before issuing any press release or other public announcements with

respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and shall not issue any such press release or public announcement prior to such consultation and approval, except as may be required by applicable Law or any listing agreement related to the trading of the shares of either party on any securities exchange or national securities quotation system, in which case, the party proposing to issue such press release or make such public announcement shall use reasonable best efforts to consult in good faith with the other party before issuing any such press release or making any such public announcement; provided that neither consultation nor approval shall be required with respect to any release or announcement permitted by Section 6.04.

Section 6.11 Merger Sub. Parent shall (a) cause Merger Sub to perform its obligations under this Agreement and to consummate the Offer and the Merger on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement and (b) ensure that, prior to the Effective Time, Merger Sub shall not conduct any business or make any investments other than as specifically contemplated by this Agreement, or incur or guarantee any indebtedness.

Section 6.12 No Control of the Company’s Business. Nothing contained in this Agreement is intended to give Parent, directly or indirectly, the right to control or direct the Company’s or its Subsidiaries’ operations prior to the Offer Closing. Prior to the Offer Closing, the Company shall exercise, consistent with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, complete control and supervision over its and its Subsidiaries’ operations.

Section 6.13 Section 16 Matters. Prior to the Offer Closing and/or Effective Time, as applicable, Parent and the Company shall take all such steps as may be required to cause to be exempt under Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act any dispositions of shares of Company Common Stock (including derivative securities with respect to such shares) that are treated as dispositions under such rule and result from the Offer, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby by each director or officer of the Company who is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act with respect to the Company.

Section 6.14 Rule 14d-10(d) Matters. Prior to the Offer Closing, the Company (acting through a committee of the Company Board consisting solely of “independent directors” in accordance with the requirements of Rule 14d-10(d)(2) of the Exchange Act and the instructions thereto) shall take all such steps as may be required to cause each agreement, arrangement or understanding entered into by the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company on or after the date hereof with any of its officers, directors or employees pursuant to which consideration is paid to such officer, director or employee to be approved as an “employment compensation, severance or other employee benefit arrangement” within the meaning of Rule 14d-10(d)(1) under the Exchange Act and to satisfy the requirements of the non-exclusive safe harbor set forth in Rule 14d-10(d) under the Exchange Act.

Section 6.15 Further Assurances. From time to time, as and when requested by any party hereto and at the requesting party’s expense, any other party shall execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, all such documents and instruments and shall take, or cause to be taken, all such further or other actions as the requesting party may reasonably deem necessary or desirable to evidence and effectuate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Section 6.16 Company Net Available Cash.

(a) Beginning on the fifteenth (15th) Business Day prior to the Expiration Time and continuing until the Expiration Time, the Company shall deliver to Parent after the close of business on each Business Day, its calculation of the daily balance of the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ cash and cash equivalents freely available in the United States for such day.

(b) No later than the seventh (7th) Business Day prior to the Expiration Time, the Company shall deliver to Parent its preliminary calculation of Company Net Available Cash as of the Expiration Time in a form reasonably satisfactory to Parent (the “Preliminary Expiration Time Statement of Net Available Cash”). The Preliminary Expiration Time Statement of Net Available Cash shall include a preliminary calculation of Company Transaction Expenses that are unpaid as of the Expiration Time. Within four (4) Business Days after the delivery by the Company of the Preliminary Expiration Time Statement of Net Available Cash, Parent shall identify any adjustments that it believes are required to the calculation of Company Net Available Cash. To the extent that the Company agrees with any such adjustments or there is otherwise updated information to be reflected, the Company shall deliver to Parent a revised and updated calculation of the Company Net Available Cash with the adjustments that it believes are appropriate. If the Company disagrees with any adjustment proposed by Parent, Parent and the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to resolve such dispute no later than the second (2nd) Business Day prior to the Expiration Time, after which the Company shall deliver to Parent, no later than three (3) hours prior to the Expiration Time, a calculation of the Company Net Available Cash (the “Final Expiration Time Statement of Net Available Cash”) with such adjustments as the Company has determined are appropriate, as well as a calculation of the Contingent Cash Payment. The Final Expiration Time Statement of Net Available Cash shall include a final and updated calculation of Company Transaction Expenses that have been incurred by the Company but are unpaid as of the Expiration Time. Parent shall identify any adjustments that it believes are required to the calculation of the Company Net Available Cash, and Parent and the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to resolve such dispute prior to the Expiration Time. After incorporating any such agreed upon adjustments (assuming such adjustments fully resolve such dispute), and prior to the Expiration Time, the Final Expiration Time Statement of Net Available Cash and Contingent Cash Payment amount shall be certified as true and correct as of the Expiration Time by the Company’s chief financial officer to his knowledge (in his capacity as an officer of the Company and without any personal liability), and such Final Expiration Time Statement of Net Available Cash and Contingent Cash Payment so certified shall be controlling for all purposes under this Agreement.

(c) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, provided the Offer Conditions, (including without limitation the Offer Condition contained in clause (e) of Annex A hereto) shall have been satisfied or waived, in the event of a dispute between Parent and the Company regarding the calculation of the Company Net Available Cash and the Contingent Cash Payment, the Final Expiration Time Statement of Net Available Cash and Contingent Cash Payment amount as determined by the Company shall nevertheless be certified as true and correct as of the Expiration Time by the Company’s chief financial officer to his knowledge (in his capacity as an officer of the Company and without any personal liability), but with the differences between (i) the Company’s calculation of Company Net Available Cash and the Contingent Cash Payment amount, and (ii) Parent’s calculation of Company Net Available Cash and the Contingent Cash Payment amount, respectively, noted thereon. In such event, the deposit in respect of the Contingent Cash Payment contemplated by Section 1.01(b) of this Agreement shall be the greater of the Company’s calculation and the Parent’s calculation of such amount, for purposes of the Offer Closing, and the Parent and Special Committee shall attempt to resolve such dispute within five (5) Business Days. In the event that such dispute is not resolved within such period, Parent and the Special Committee shall submit the dispute to a mutually agreed upon independent certified public accounting firm who has not performed more than $250,000 of work for Parent or the Company (or either of their Affiliates) within the last three years, who shall, within five (5) Business Days thereafter, determine the Company Net Available Cash and Contingent Cash Payment; provided, that the fees and expenses of such accounting firm shall not be included in the calculation of Company Net Available Cash. The determination of the Company Net Available Cash and Contingent Cash Payment by such independent certified public accounting firm shall be final and binding on Parent and the Company.

Section 9.08 Entire Agreement. This Agreement (including the Exhibits to this Agreement), the Company Disclosure Letter and the Confidentiality Agreement constitute the entire agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement and supersede all other prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the parties to this Agreement with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement. In the event of any inconsistency between the statements in the body of this Agreement, the Company Disclosure Letter (other than an exception expressly set forth as such in the Company Disclosure Letter) and the Confidentiality Agreement, the statements in the body of this Agreement will control.

Section 9.09 No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is for the sole benefit of the parties hereto and their permitted assigns and respective successors and, except as provided in Section 6.08 hereof (which shall be to the benefit of the parties referred to in such section), nothing herein, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person or entity any legal or equitable right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement; provided, however, that the Company shall have the right to pursue damages on behalf of its shareholders in the event of Parent’s or Merger Sub’s breach or wrongful termination of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, following the Effective Time, the provisions of Article III relating to the payment of the Merger Consideration shall be enforceable by holders of the Company Common Stock. The representations and warranties in this Agreement are the product of negotiations among the parties hereto and are for the sole benefit of the parties hereto. Any inaccuracies in such representations and warranties are subject to waiver by the parties hereto in accordance with Section 8.08 without notice or liability to any other Person. The representations and warranties in this Agreement may represent an allocation among the parties hereto of risks associated with particular matters regardless of the knowledge of any of the parties hereto. Accordingly, Persons other than the parties hereto may not rely upon the representations and warranties in this Agreement as characterizations of actual facts or circumstances as of the date of this Agreement or as of any other date.

Section 9.10 Severability. If any term or provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other term or provision of this Agreement or invalidate or render unenforceable such term or provision in any other jurisdiction. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid,

illegal or unenforceable, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.

Section 9.11 Assignment. This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Neither party may assign its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the other party, except that Merger Sub may assign, in its sole discretion, any or all of its rights, interests and obligations under this Agreement to any direct wholly-owned Subsidiary of Parent without the consent of the Company. No assignment shall relieve the assigning party of any of its obligations hereunder. Any attempt at assignment not in compliance with this Section 9.11 shall be null and void and without legal effect.

Section 9.12 Remedies. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, any and all remedies expressly conferred upon a party to this Agreement will be cumulative with, and not exclusive of, any other remedy contained in this Agreement, at Law or in equity. The exercise by a party to this Agreement of any one remedy will not preclude the exercise by it of any other remedy.

Section 9.13 Specific Performance. The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur if any provision of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with its specific terms or were otherwise breached, that the parties would not have any adequate remedy at law and that any defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate is hereby waived. It is accordingly agreed that that the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement or to enforce specifically the performance of the terms and provisions hereof in any federal court located in the District of Colorado or any Colorado state court (and any appellate courts therefrom), in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at Law or in equity, and all such rights and remedies shall be cumulative. None of the parties shall oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief sought in accordance with this Section 9.13 on the basis that any other party has an adequate remedy at law or that any award of equitable relief is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or in equity. Any party seeking an injunction or injunctions in accordance with this Agreement to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with any such injunction or order.

Section 9.14 Company Disclosure Letter. The parties hereto agree that the disclosure of any matter in any section of the Company Disclosure Letter shall not be deemed to constitute an admission or indication by the disclosing party, or to otherwise imply, that any such matter is material for the purposes of this Agreement. No party shall use, either individually or in the aggregate, the fact of the inclusion of any such item or information in any sections of the Company Disclosure Letter in any disagreement, dispute or controversy between the parties as to whether any obligation, item, information or matter is or is not material, or may give rise to a change or effect that could have a Company Material Adverse Effect. Nor shall any disclosure on a section be deemed to constitute an acknowledgment that any such matter is required to be disclosed. No disclosure on any section relating to a possible breach or violation of any contract or applicable law shall be construed as an admission or indication that any breach or violation exists or has actually occurred. The disclosure of any matter in any section of either the Company Disclosure Letter is not to be treated as constituting or implying any representation, warranty, assurance or undertaking by the disclosing party not expressly set out in this Agreement, nor to be treated as adding to or extending the scope of any of the disclosing party’s representations or warranties in this Agreement.

Section 9.15 Counterparts; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts (including by facsimile or electronic transmission), all of which will be one and the same agreement. This Agreement will become effective when each party to this Agreement will have received counterparts signed by all of the other parties. In the event that any signature to this Agreement is delivered by facsimile transmission or by e-mail delivery of a portable document format (.pdf or similar format) data file, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such facsimile or “.pdf” signature page were an original thereof.

CONTINGENT PAYMENT RIGHTS

Section 2.1. CPRs.

The CPRs represent the right of Holders to receive contingent cash payments as part of the Offer Consideration pursuant to the Offer and as part of the Merger Consideration pursuant to the Merger as provided in the Merger Agreement and this Agreement. Each Holder shall be entitled to one CPR for each share of Company Common Stock (a) the Merger Sub accepts for payment from such Holder pursuant to the Offer or (b) owned by such Holder immediately prior to the Effective Time.

Section 2.2. Nontransferable.

The CPRs and any interest therein shall not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged, encumbered or in any other manner transferred or disposed of, in whole or in part, other than through a Permitted Transfer.

Section 2.3. No Certificate; Registration; Registration of Transfer; Change of Address.

(a) The CPRs shall not be evidenced by a certificate or other instrument.

(b) The Rights Agent shall keep a register (the “CPR Register”) for the purpose of registering CPRs and transfers of CPRs to the extent permitted herein. The CPR Register will show one

position for Cede & Co representing all the shares of Company Common Stock held by DTC on behalf of the street holders of the shares of Company Common Stock tendered by such holders in the Offer or held by such holders as of immediately prior to the Effective Time. The Rights Agent will have no responsibility whatsoever directly to the street holders with respect to transfers of CPRs unless and until such CPRs are transferred into the name of such street holders in accordance with Section 2.2 of this Agreement. With respect to any payments to be made under Section 2.4 below, the Rights Agent will accomplish the payment to any street holders of shares of Company Common Stock by sending one lump payment to DTC. The Rights Agent will have no responsibilities whatsoever with regards to distribution of payments by DTC to such street holders.

(c) Subject to the restrictions on transferability set forth in Section 2.2, every request made to transfer a CPR must be in writing and accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form reasonably satisfactory to the Rights Agent, pursuant to Securities Transfer Association, Inc. guidelines, duly executed by the Holder thereof, his attorney duly authorized in writing, personal representative or survivor and setting forth in reasonable detail the circumstances relating to the transfer. Upon receipt of such written notice, the Rights Agent shall, subject to its reasonable determination that the transfer instrument is in proper form and the transfer otherwise complies with the other terms and conditions herein (including the provisions of Section 2.2), register the transfer of the CPRs in the CPR Register. All duly transferred CPRs registered in the CPR Register shall be the valid obligations of Parent, evidencing the same right, and shall entitle the transferee to the same benefits and rights under this Agreement, as those held by the transferor. No transfer of a CPR shall be valid until registered in the CPR Register, and any transfer not duly registered in the CPR Register will be void ab initio. Any transfer or assignment of the CPRs shall be without charge (other than the cost of any transfer tax) to the Holder.

(d) A Holder may make a written request to the Rights Agent to change such Holder’s address of record in the CPR Register. The written request must be duly executed by the Holder. Upon receipt of such written notice, the Rights Agent shall promptly record the change of address in the CPR Register.

Section 2.4. Payment Procedures.

(a) The Rights Agent shall, within one (1) Business Day of receipt of a certificate delivered jointly by Parent and the Company pursuant to this Section 2.4, certifying that a CPR Payment Amount is payable to Holders, pay the applicable CPR Payment Amount to each such Holder (the amount to which each Holder is entitled to receive calculated by multiplying the applicable CPR Payment Amount by the number of CPRs held by such Holder as reflected on the CPR Register) by check mailed to the address of each Holder as reflected in the CPR Register as of the close of business on the last Business Day prior to such CPR Payment Date. For the avoidance of doubt, the parties hereby acknowledge that, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Holders will become entitled to receive the (i) Offer Consideration on the Acceptance Date, or in the case of a “subsequent offering period” as provided in Section 1.01(b) of the Merger Agreement, on the date or dates of acceptance by Merger Sub of Company Common Stock tendered during such period, or (ii) the Merger Consideration upon the closing of the Merger and that, accordingly, in the case of (i) and (ii) above, the Parent and the Company shall deliver the foregoing certificate, including payment directions to the Rights Agent with respect to each applicable CPR Payment Date.

(b) Parent or the Company, as the surviving corporation in the Merger, as the case may be, shall be entitled to deduct and withhold, or cause to be deducted or withheld, from each CPR Payment Amount otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement, such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code, or any provision of state, local or foreign tax law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld and paid over to or deposited with the relevant Governmental Entity, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Holder in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made. Prior to making any such tax withholdings or causing any such tax withholdings to be made with respect to any Holder, the Rights Agent shall, to the extent practicable, provide notice to the Holder of such potential withholding and a reasonable opportunity for the Holder to provide any necessary tax forms (including an IRS Form W-9 or an applicable IRS Form W-8) in order to avoid or reduce such withholding amounts.

(c) Parent agrees to treat, and to cause the Rights Agent to treat, all payments on the CPRs as representing consideration for the sale of shares of Company Common Stock pursuant to the Merger Agreement for all tax and tax reporting purposes, except to the extent, if any, that a portion of such payments is required to be treated as imputed interest. If applicable, Parent and the Rights Agent will determine and report imputed interest amounts pursuant to Section 483 or 1274 of the Code. The CPRs shall not be treated as an interest in a joint venture or partnership for tax purposes.

(d) Any portion of the CPR Payment Amount that remains undistributed to the Holders for 180 days after any CPR Payment Date shall be delivered by the Rights Agent to Parent, upon demand, and any Holder shall thereafter look only to Parent for payment of such CPR Payment Amount, but shall have no greater rights against Parent than may be accorded to general unsecured creditors of Parent under applicable law.

Section 2.5. No Voting, Dividends Or Interest; No Equity Or Ownership Interest In Parent.

(a) The CPRs shall not have any voting or dividend rights, and interest shall not accrue on any amounts payable on the CPRs to any Holder.

(b) The CPRs shall not represent any equity or ownership interest in Parent or in any constituent company to the Merger.

ARTICLE III

EXECUTION VERSION

GUARANTEE

This GUARANTEE (this “Guarantee”), dated as of October 15, 2012, is made by L.F.P., Inc., a California corporation (“Guarantor”) in favor of New Frontier Media, Inc., a Colorado corporation (the “Company”).

WITNESSETH:

WHEREAS, LFP Broadcast, Inc., a Colorado corporation (the “Merger Sub”), LFP Broadcasting, LLC, ,a Delaware limit liability company (“Parent”), and the Company have entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated the date hereof (as the same may be amended from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”) pursuant to which, subject to the terms and conditions contained in the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub shall commence a cash tender offer to purchase all outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company and, following the consummation of the Offer, merge with and into the Company with the Company as the Surviving Corporation; and

WHEREAS, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Guarantor is providing this Guarantee as a condition and inducement to the Company’s willingness to enter into the Merger Agreement;

NOW THEREFORE, the Guarantor agrees, for the benefit of the Company, as follows.

1. Merger Agreement Definitions. Unless otherwise defined herein or the context otherwise requires, terms used in this Guarantee, including its preamble and recitals, have the meanings provided in the Merger Agreement.

2. Guarantee.

a. As a material inducement to the Company’s willingness to enter into the Merger Agreement and perform its obligations thereunder, Guarantor, intending to be legally bound as primary obligor and not merely as surety, hereby, absolutely, irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees to the Company the due and punctual payment of any and all liabilities and obligations of Parent and Merger Sub under or pursuant to the Merger Agreement, including, without limitation, the Merger Sub’s obligations to pay (i) at the Offer Closing, the Offer Price for each Share validly tendered pursuant to the Offer, (ii) at the Effective Time, the Merger Consideration, any other payment pursuant to Articles I, II and III of the Merger Agreement and any and all other amounts payable pursuant to any other Section thereof, and (iii) any and all damages, losses, costs and expenses arising out of or related to any breach of the Merger Agreement by Parent or Merger Sub (collectively, together with the non-payment obligations of Parent or Merger Sub pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the “Guaranteed Obligations”), in each case regardless of any automatic stay under bankruptcy law or similar concept that prevents the Company from pursuing any remedies against Parent or Merger Sub. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, the Guarantor also agrees to cause Parent and Merger Sub to perform all of their respective non-payment obligations pursuant to the Merger Agreement. If the Parent or Merger Sub fails to discharge its Guaranteed Obligations when due in accordance with the applicable terms of the Merger Agreement, then the Company may at any time and from time to time, in its sole discretion, and so long as Parent or Merger Sub has failed to discharge the Guaranteed Obligations, take any and all actions available hereunder or under applicable law to collect any of the Guarantor’s liabilities hereunder in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations. The Guarantor shall pay, or cause to be paid, the Company not later than the third day following

receipt of a written notice by the Company of the failure of the Parent or Merger Sub to pay any or all of the Guaranteed Obligations in accordance with the Merger Agreement, the full amount then due and payable by Parent or Merger Sub under the Merger Agreement in cash by wire transfer to the account set forth in such notice.

b. Subject always to the last sentence of Section 3 below, this Guarantee is an absolute, unconditional, irrevocable and continuing guarantee of payment and performance and not of collection and shall (i) remain in full force and effect for so long as there are any Guaranteed Obligations outstanding pursuant to the Merger Agreement, (ii) be binding upon Guarantor, its successors and assigns, and (iii) inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by, the Company and its successors and permitted assigns. All obligations to which this Guarantee applies or may apply under the terms hereof shall be conclusively presumed to have been created in reliance hereon. Any and all payments made pursuant to this Guarantee shall be made in immediately available funds in lawful money of the United States of America.

c. Guarantor waives promptness, diligence, notice of the acceptance of this Guarantee and of the obligations hereunder, presentment, demand for payment, notice of non-performance, notice of default, notice of dishonor and protest, notice of any obligations incurred and all other notices of any kind, all defenses which may be available by virtue of any valuation, stay, moratorium law or other similar law now or hereafter in effect, any right to require the marshaling of assets of Merger Sub, Parent or any other Person interested in the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, and all surety-ship defenses generally (other than defenses that are available to Merger Sub or Parent under or in connection with the Merger Agreement (other than a Merger Sub or Parent bankruptcy)); provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall constitute a waiver of any notice required to be given to Parent or Merger Sub under the Merger Agreement.

d. Guarantor agrees that its obligations hereunder (i) shall be enforceable against Guarantor without any party having to proceed first against Merger Sub, Parent, or any other Person and (ii) shall not be released or discharged, in whole or in part, or otherwise affected by the failure or delay on the part of any other party hereto to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against Merger Sub or Parent.

e. Without expanding the obligations of the Guarantor hereunder, the Guaranteed Obligations, and any of them, shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted or incurred in reliance upon this Guarantee, and all dealings between Parent, Merger Sub or Guarantor, on the one hand, and the Company, on the other, shall likewise be conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon this Guarantee.

f. Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive substantial direct and indirect benefits from the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and that the waivers set forth in this Guarantee are knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits.

3. No Discharge. The liability of the Guarantor under this Guarantee shall not be limited or discharged by: (a) any release or discharge of any obligation of Merger Sub or Parent contained in the Merger Agreement resulting from any change in the corporate or other company existence, structure or ownership of Merger Sub or Parent, or any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization, liquidation or other similar proceeding affecting Merger Sub or Parent or any of their respective assets; (b) any amendment or modification of the Merger Agreement (or any document entered into in connection therewith), or change in the manner, place or terms of payment or performance, or any change or extension of the time of payment or performance of, renewal or alteration of, any Guaranteed Obligation, any escrow arrangement or other security therefor, any liability incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof, or any amendment or waiver of or any consent to any departure from the terms of the Merger Agreement or the documents

entered into in connection therewith, or the settlement of any dispute of any of the terms thereof; (c) any lack of validity, legality or enforceability of the Merger Agreement or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein, including this Guarantee; (d) the failure of the Company (i) to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy (including any right of setoff) against Merger Sub or Parent under the provisions of the Merger Agreement, this Guarantee or pursuant to any applicable Law or otherwise, or (ii) to exercise any right or remedy against any other guarantor of any Guaranteed Obligation; (e) the existence of any claim, set-off or other right that the Guarantor may have at any time against Parent, Merger Sub or the Company, whether in connection with any Guaranteed Obligation or otherwise; (f) the adequacy of any means the Company may have of obtaining payment or performance of any Guaranteed Obligations; (g) the addition, substitution or release of any Person now or hereafter liable with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or otherwise interested in the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement; or (h) any other act or omission that may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of the Guarantor or otherwise operate as a discharge of the Guarantor as a matter of law or equity (other than payment of the Guaranteed Obligations); provided that, notwithstanding any other provision of this Guarantee to the contrary, the Company hereby agrees that the Guarantor may assert, as a defense to, or release or discharge of, any payment or performance by the Guarantor under this Guarantee, any claim, set-off, deduction, defense or release that Parent or Merger Sub could assert against the Company under the terms of, or with respect to, the Merger Agreement that would relieve each of Parent and Sub of its obligations under the Merger Agreement.

4. Postponement of Subrogation, etc. Guarantor agrees that it will not exercise against Parent or Merger Sub any rights of subrogation or contribution, whether arising by contract or operation of law (including, without limitation, any such right arising under bankruptcy or insolvency laws) or otherwise in respect of any payment made or performance hereunder, under the Merger Agreement or otherwise, until following the termination of this Guarantee. From time to time, any amount paid to the Guarantor on account of any such subrogation rights prior to the termination of this Guarantee shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Company and shall immediately be paid and turned over to the Company in the form received by the Guarantor (duly endorsed in favor of the Company, if required), to be applied against any portion of any Guaranteed Obligation that is then due and payable, in accordance with the terms hereof. In furtherance of the foregoing, at all times prior to the termination of this Guarantee, Guarantor shall refrain from taking any action or commencing any proceeding against Merger Sub or Parent (or their respective successors or assigns, whether in connection with a bankruptcy proceeding or otherwise) to recover any amounts in the respect of payments made under this Guarantee to the Company.

5. Reinstatement, etc. In the event that any payment in respect of any Guaranteed Obligation is rescinded or is otherwise required to be returned, this Guarantee shall continue to be effective and Guarantor shall remain liable hereunder as if such payment had not been made. The Company shall not be obligated to file any claim relating to the Guaranteed Obligations in the event that Merger Sub or Parent becomes subject to a bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding, and the failure of the Company to so file shall not affect Guarantor’s obligations hereunder.

6. Representations and Warranties of the Guarantor. The Guarantor hereby represents and warrants to the Company as follows:

a. Organization. Guarantor is duly organized and validly existing under the laws of California and has all requisite power and authority to carry on its business as now being conducted.

(i) Guarantor has all requisite power and authority to enter into this Guarantee and to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Guarantee; (ii) the execution, delivery and performance of this Guarantee by Guarantor and the consummation by Guarantor of the transactions contemplated by this Guarantee have been duly authorized by all necessary

action on the part of Guarantor; and (iii) this Guarantee has been duly executed and delivered by Guarantor and constitutes a valid and binding agreement of the Guarantor enforceable against Guarantor in accordance with its terms.

c. No Violation; Consents. The execution, delivery and performance of this Guarantee by Guarantor does not, and the consummation by the Guarantor of the transactions contemplated by this Guarantee will not, (i) conflict with, or result in any violation or breach of, Guarantor’s organizational documents, (ii) result in any violation or breach of, or constitute (with or without notice or lapse of time, or both) a default (or give rise to a right of termination, cancellation or acceleration of any obligation or loss of any material benefit) under, or require a consent or waiver under, any contract to which Guarantor is a party or by which Guarantor may be bound, in any case, for which the violation, default or right would be reasonably likely to prevent or materially impede, interfere with, hinder or delay the consummation by Guarantor of the transactions contemplated by this Guarantee on a timely basis, or (iii) contravene, conflict with, or result in a violation of any applicable Law or Order. No consent or filing with any Governmental Entity which has not been obtained or made by the Guarantor is required for or in connection with the execution and delivery of this Guarantee by the Guarantor, and the consummation by Guarantor of the transactions contemplated hereby.

7. Acknowledgment and Non-Contravention of Specific Performance. Guarantor acknowledges the terms and provisions of Section 9.13 of the Merger Agreement, and hereby covenants and agrees that it will not object to, or take any position inconsistent with respect to, whether in a court of law or otherwise, the appropriateness of specific performance as a remedy for a breach of the Merger Agreement; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 7 shall limit the ability of the Guarantor to assert any defense or take any other position available to Merger Sub or Parent with respect to any obligation or alleged obligation of Merger Sub or Parent under the Merger Agreement, this Guarantee or any other agreement.

8. No Assertion of Invalidity. Guarantor covenants and agrees that it shall not institute, and shall cause each of its Affiliates not to institute, any proceedings asserting that this Guarantee is illegal, invalid or unenforceable in accordance with its terms.

9. Further Assurances. Guarantor covenants and agrees that at any time prior to the Effective Time, upon the Company’s reasonable request, the Guarantor shall execute and deliver such other instruments and take such other actions as the Company may reasonably deem necessary or desirable in order to make this Guarantee enforceable in all applicable jurisdictions in which the Guarantor is located or organized or in which Guarantor has any assets, including additional copies of this Guarantee, in English or translated in any applicable foreign language, duly executed by Guarantor, with any necessary formalities (such as notarization) properly complied with in accordance with the requirements of any applicable jurisdiction.

10. Assignment. Neither this Guarantee nor any rights, interests and obligations hereunder will be assigned by operation of law or otherwise without the prior written consent of each of the other parties, and any attempted assignment without such consent shall be void and of no effect.

13. No Waiver; Remedies. No failure on the part of the Company to exercise any power, right, privilege or remedy under this Guarantee, and no delay on the part of the Company in exercising any power, right, privilege or remedy under this Guarantee, shall operate as a waiver of such power, right, privilege or remedy; and no single or partial exercise of any such power, right, privilege or remedy shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or of any other power, right, privilege or remedy. The Company shall not be deemed to have waived any claim arising out of this Guarantee, or any power, right, privilege or remedy under this Guarantee, unless the waiver of such claim, power, right, privilege or remedy is expressly set forth in a written instrument duly executed and delivered on behalf of the Company; and any such waiver shall not be applicable or have any effect except in the specific instance in which it is given.

In determining to enter into this Guarantee, no party has relied upon, and each party expressly disclaims any reliance upon, any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement except as expressly set forth herein. All parties acknowledge and agree that each party and its counsel have carefully reviewed this Guarantee, and that it shall not be construed more strictly against any party.

15. Captions. Section captions used in this Guarantee are for convenience of reference only, and shall not affect the construction of this Guarantee.

16. Severability. If any term or provision of this Guarantee is invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other term or provision of this Guarantee or invalidate or render unenforceable such term or provision in any other jurisdiction. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Guarantee so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.

17. Governing Law. This Guarantee, and any claim arising out of or relating to this Guarantee, its negotiation, terms or performance, or the transactions contemplated hereby, shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Colorado, without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Colorado or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Colorado.

18. Submission to Jurisdiction. Each of the parties hereto irrevocably agrees that any legal action or proceeding with respect to this Guarantee and the rights and obligations arising hereunder, or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect of this Guarantee and the rights and obligations

arising hereunder brought by any other party hereto or its successors or assigns shall be brought exclusively and determined in any state court in the State of Colorado, or in the event (but only in the event) that such court does not have subject matter jurisdiction over such action or proceeding, in the federal district court in the District of Colorado.

W I T N E S S E T H:

WHEREAS, on the date hereof, Parent, Merger Sub and Company have entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated October 15, 2012 (“Merger Agreement”);

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Parent will acquire all of the outstanding shares of common stock of the Company and Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company, with the Company surviving the merger and becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent;

WHEREAS, Section 8.06 of the Merger Agreement contemplates that the Company, Parent, Merger Sub and the Escrow Agent shall enter into this Deposit Escrow Agreement in connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement (the “Execution”) and that at the Execution, Parent shall deliver to the Escrow Agent, pursuant to the wire instructions attached hereto as Exhibit A, an amount of cash equal to $1,000,000, less the Escrow Agent Fees;

WHEREAS, Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, the parties have agreed that the Escrow Funds (as defined below) shall be held in escrow and distributed in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Deposit Escrow Agreement; and

WHEREAS, Capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the same definitions as set forth in the Merger Agreement;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual covenants contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto, agree as follows:

1. Appointment of and Acceptance by the Escrow Agent. The Company, Parent and Merger Sub hereby appoint the Escrow Agent to serve as their escrow agent for the purposes set forth herein. The Escrow Agent hereby accepts such appointment under the terms and conditions set forth herein. The Escrow Agent, upon receipt of the Escrow Funds on the date hereof in accordance with the foregoing recitals, agrees to hold, invest and disburse the Escrow Funds (as defined below) solely in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Deposit Escrow Agreement. The Escrow Agent shall acknowledge receipt of the Deposit upon actual receipt thereof by notifying the other parties to this Deposit Escrow Agreement by email.

2. Investment of the Escrow Funds. The funds held by the Escrow Agent from time to time pursuant to this Deposit Escrow Agreement, together with all income accrued thereon which has not been distributed pursuant to this Deposit Escrow Agreement, are referred to herein as the “Escrow Funds.”

a. Escrow Agent is authorized and directed to deposit, transfer, and hold and invest any cash in the Escrow Funds and any investment income thereon only as set forth in Exhibit B hereto, or as set forth in any subsequent written instruction signed by all the parties. Parent, Merger Sub and Company each acknowledges that they have read and understand Exhibit B hereto.

b. Escrow Agent is hereby authorized and directed to sell or redeem any such investments as it deems necessary to make any payments or distributions required under this Deposit Escrow Agreement. Escrow Agent shall have no responsibility or liability for any loss which may result from any investment or sale of investment made pursuant to this Deposit Escrow Agreement. Escrow Agent is hereby authorized, in making or disposing of any investment permitted by this Deposit Escrow Agreement, to deal with itself (in its individual capacity) or with any one or more of its affiliates, whether it or any such affiliate is acting as agent of the Escrow Agent or for any third person or dealing as principal for its own account. Parent, Merger Sub and Company each acknowledges that the Escrow Agent is not providing investment supervision, recommendations, or advice.

3. Escrow Agent’s Disbursements of the Escrow Funds.

a. Instructions. In the event that the Company or Parent is entitled to receive a distribution of all or any portion of the Escrow Funds as provided in this Section 3, the Escrow Agent shall make such distribution to the account of such party identified on Exhibit A hereto, unless such party has provided written notice to the Escrow Agent with alternative wire instructions prior to the required disbursement date.

b. Disbursement of Escrow Funds.

i. The Company and Parent may at any time give joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent setting forth detailed payment instructions for amounts to be distributed from the Escrow Funds. Upon Escrow Agent’s receipt of joint written instructions from Company and Parent, disbursement of Escrow Funds shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds within two (2) Business Days.

ii. Unless the Company and Parent shall have given the joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent, Parent (on behalf of Merger Sub) and/or the Company, as applicable, shall give written notice to the Escrow Agent and to the other parties to this Deposit Escrow Agreement of its entitlement to the Escrow Funds, which such notice shall be in the form of Exhibit C hereto (each, a “Claim Notice”).

iii. Upon receipt of a Claim Notice from either party (the “Claimant”), the Escrow Agent shall acknowledge receipt of the Claim Notice by email to the Claimant and to the other party (the “Respondent”). If the Escrow Agent does not receive a written objection to the Claim Notice from the Respondent in the form of Exhibit D hereto (“Objection Notice”) within ten (10) Business Days after the date such notice was deemed delivered to the Respondent, the Escrow Agent shall deliver the Escrow Funds to the Claimant or its designee in the manner set forth in the Claim Notice. If the Escrow Agent receives an Objection Notice within ten (10) Business Days after the date the Claim Notice was deemed delivered to the Respondent, the Escrow Agent shall hold the Escrow Funds and take no action with respect to it until a Final Determination (as defined below).

iv. A “Final Determination” shall mean (i) a written notice from Parent and Company to the Escrow Agent in the form of Exhibit E hereto setting forth the manner in which the Escrow Funds are to be paid, or (ii) a copy of a final order or judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction or decision of an arbitration panel determining the rights of Parent, Merger Sub and Company with respect to

the Escrow Funds or resolution of a claim with respect thereto, accompanied by a letter of counsel of Parent (on behalf of Merger Sub) or Company, as the case may be, addressed to the Escrow Agent stating that such order or judgment has been finally affirmed on appeal by the highest court before which such appeal may be sought, or has become final by lapse of time or is otherwise not subject to appeal or such decision of the arbitration panel is binding and is not subject to appeal. A “Business Day” shall mean a day other than a Saturday, Sunday or day on which the Escrow Agent is authorized or permitted to close in the jurisdiction in which it is located.

v. The Escrow Agent shall release the Escrow Funds promptly following the receipt of written evidence of a Final Determination in respect of a pending claim, as contemplated by Section 3(b)(iv) above.

4. Liability and Duties of Escrow Agent. Parent, Merger Sub and Company hereby recognize and acknowledge that the Escrow Agent is serving hereunder at their request. Accordingly, it is understood and agreed as follows:

a. The Escrow Agent shall hold the Escrow Funds during the period or periods specified in this Deposit Escrow Agreement and shall dispose of the Escrow Funds in accordance with the terms hereof and not as the property of the Escrow Agent. The duties and responsibilities of the Escrow Agent shall be entirely administrative and not discretionary, and shall arise solely under and in accordance with this Deposit Escrow Agreement. Under no circumstance will Escrow Agent be deemed to be a fiduciary to any party or any other person under this Deposit Escrow Agreement.

b. Parent, Merger Sub and Company agree that the Escrow Agent shall not be liable for any claim arising hereunder or in connection herewith (whether or not asserted by Parent, Merger Sub, Company or any third party) unless such claim is based upon the willful misconduct or gross negligence of the Escrow Agent in performing its duties pursuant to this Deposit Escrow Agreement. Parent (on behalf of itself and Merger Sub) and Company hereby jointly and severally agree to indemnify the Escrow Agent and hold it harmless from and against all claims, demands, costs, liabilities and expenses, including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and costs which may be asserted against the Escrow Agent or to which it may be exposed or which it may incur or suffer, directly or indirectly, by reason of the execution or performance of this Deposit Escrow Agreement, unless such claims, demands, costs, liabilities or expenses are based upon the willful misconduct or gross negligence of the Escrow Agent in performing its duties pursuant to this Deposit Escrow Agreement. This Section 4(b) shall survive notwithstanding any termination of this Deposit Escrow Agreement or the resignation or removal of the Escrow Agent. The indemnification provided in this Section 4(b) is only for the benefit of the Escrow Agent and shall not affect the rights of the parties under the Merger Agreement.

c. ESCROW AGENT SHALL NOT BE LIABLE, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, FOR ANY (i) DAMAGES, LOSSES OR EXPENSES ARISING OUT OF THE SERVICES PROVIDED HEREUNDER, OTHER THAN DAMAGES, LOSSES OR EXPENSES WHICH HAVE BEEN FINALLY ADJUDICATED TO HAVE DIRECTLY RESULTED FROM ESCROW AGENT’S GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT, OR (ii) SPECIAL, INDIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OR LOSSES OF ANY KIND WHATSOEVER (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION LOST PROFITS), EVEN IF DEPOSIT ESCROW AGENT HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH LOSSES OR DAMAGES AND REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF ACTION.

d. Escrow Agent may fully rely and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any written notice, instruction or request furnished to it hereunder and believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or printed by the proper party or parties. Concurrent with the execution of this Deposit Escrow Agreement, the Parties shall deliver to the Escrow Agent the authorized signers’ form attached hereto as Exhibit F.

e. Escrow Agent shall not be liable for any reasonable action taken by it in good faith and believed by it to be authorized or within the rights or powers conferred upon it by this Deposit Escrow Agreement, and may consult with counsel of its own choice and shall have full and complete authorization and protection for any action taken or suffered by it hereunder in good faith or in accordance with or in reliance upon the opinion of such counsel. In addition, the Escrow Agent shall have no liability if it distributes the Escrow Funds in accordance with a Final Determination or an order of a court of competent jurisdiction or if it delivers such Escrow Funds to such a court for disposition by such court.

f. The fees of Escrow Agent, as set forth on Exhibit G hereof (the “Escrow Agent Fees”), and all of its out-of-pocket expenses, shall be charged against and paid from the Escrow Funds. The fee agreed upon for the services rendered hereunder is intended as full compensation for the Escrow Agent’s services as contemplated by this Deposit Escrow Agreement; provided, however, that in the event that the conditions for the disbursement of the Escrow Funds under this Deposit Escrow Agreement are not fulfilled, or the Escrow Agent renders any service related to this Deposit Escrow Agreement, but not contemplated in this Deposit Escrow Agreement, or there is any assignment of interest in the subject matter of this Deposit Escrow Agreement, or any material modification hereof, or if any material controversy arises hereunder, or the Escrow Agent is made a party to any litigation pertaining to this Deposit Escrow Agreement or the subject matter hereof, then the Escrow Agent shall be compensated for such extraordinary services and reimbursed for all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, occasioned by any such delay, controversy, litigation or event. If any amount due to the Escrow Agent hereunder is not paid within thirty (30) days of the date due, the Escrow Agent in its sole discretion may charge interest on such amount up to the highest rate permitted by applicable law. The Escrow Agent shall have, and is hereby granted, a prior lien upon the Escrow Funds with respect to its unpaid fees, non-reimbursed expenses and unsatisfied indemnification rights, superior to the interests of any other persons or entities and is hereby granted the right to set off and deduct any unpaid fees, non-reimbursed expenses and unsatisfied indemnification rights from the Escrow Funds.

g. Income with respect to the Escrow Funds shall be deemed to have been earned by the party who receives the Escrow Funds and shall be subject to withholding regulations then in force with respect to United States taxes. Each party shall, at the request of Escrow Agent, provide the Escrow Agent with appropriate W-9 forms or tax identification number certifications, or resident alien certifications. This Section shall survive notwithstanding any termination of this Deposit Escrow Agreement or the resignation of the Escrow Agent.

h. This Deposit Escrow Agreement expressly sets forth all the duties of the Escrow Agent with respect to any and all matters pertinent hereto. No implied duties or obligations shall be read into this Deposit Escrow Agreement against the Escrow Agent. The Escrow Agent shall not be bound by the provisions of any agreement among the other parties hereto except the Deposit Escrow Agreement.

i. The Escrow Agent may resign and be discharged from its duties or obligations under this Deposit Escrow Agreement by giving not less than thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Parent and Company of such resignation, provided that no such resignation shall be effective until a successor Escrow Agent, designated jointly by Parent and Company, has agreed to serve as the Escrow Agent in accordance with the terms of this Deposit Escrow Agreement. From the date of said letter of resignation

until the delivery of the Escrow Funds to the successor Escrow Agent, the Escrow Agent’s sole duty hereunder shall be to retain the Escrow Funds and invest and reinvest said Escrow Funds pursuant to Section 1. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if no successor is appointed within thirty (30) days after such resignation notice is deemed given hereunder, the Escrow Agent may deliver the Escrow Funds into a court of competent jurisdiction and, thereupon, shall be released from any and all obligations and liabilities arising under or in connection with this Deposit Escrow Agreement or its duties as an escrow agent hereunder.

j. If any conflict, disagreement or dispute arises between, among, or involving any of the parties hereto concerning the meaning or validity of any provision hereunder or concerning any other matter relating to this Deposit Escrow Agreement, or the Escrow Agent is in doubt as to the action to be taken hereunder, the Escrow Agent may, at its option, retain the Escrow Funds until the Escrow Agent (i) receives a final non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction or a final non-appealable arbitration decision directing delivery of the Escrow Funds, (ii) receives a written agreement executed by each of the parties involved in such disagreement or dispute directing delivery of the Escrow Funds, in which event the Escrow Agent shall be authorized to disburse the Escrow Funds in accordance with such final court order, arbitration decision, or agreement, or (iii) files an interpleader action in any court of competent jurisdiction, and upon the filing thereof, the Escrow Agent shall be relieved of all liability as to the Escrow Funds and shall be entitled to recover attorneys’ fees, expenses and other costs incurred in commencing and maintaining any such interpleader action. The Escrow Agent shall be entitled to act on any such agreement, court order, or arbitration decision without further question, inquiry, or consent.

5. Termination. The duties of the Escrow Agent shall be terminated (a) upon disbursement or release of the entire Escrow Funds by the Escrow Agent in accordance with the terms hereof; (b) by written mutual consent signed by Company and Parent (on behalf of itself and Merger Sub), or (c) by delivery or payment of the Escrow Funds into a court of competent jurisdiction pursuant to a resignation in accordance with Section 4(i) or as otherwise contemplated by Section 4(j).

6. Escheat. Parent, Merger Sub and Company are aware that under applicable state law, property which is presumed abandoned may under certain circumstances escheat to the applicable state. The Escrow Agent shall have no liability to the parties, their respective heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns, or any other party, should any or all of the Escrow Funds escheat by operation of law.

7. Notice. All notices, consents, approvals, directions, and instructions required or permitted under this Deposit Escrow Agreement shall be given in writing and delivered either by hand or by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, or by a nationally recognized overnight courier service guaranteeing delivery within twenty-four (24) hours (charges prepaid), or by electronic mail and addressed as follows:

9. No Third-Party Beneficiaries. Except as expressly provided in Section 4(b) above, nothing in this Deposit Escrow Agreement, whether express or implied, shall be construed to give to any person or entity other than the Escrow Agent and the Parties any legal or equitable right, remedy, interest or claim under or in respect of this Deposit Escrow Agreement or any funds escrowed hereunder.

10. Force Majeure. The Escrow Agent shall not be responsible or liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligation under this Deposit Escrow Agreement arising out of or caused, directly or indirectly, by circumstances beyond its reasonable control, including, without limitation, acts of God; earthquakes; fire; flood; wars; acts of terrorism; civil or military disturbances; sabotage; epidemic; riots; interruptions, loss or malfunctions of utilities, computer (hardware or software) or communications services; accidents; labor disputes; acts of civil or military authority or governmental action; it being understood that the Escrow Agent shall use commercially reasonable efforts which are consistent with accepted practices in the banking industry to resume performance as soon as reasonably practicable under the circumstances.

11. Governing Law. This Deposit Escrow Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws and decisions of the State of Colorado applicable to agreements made to be performed entirely in such jurisdiction, regardless of the laws that might otherwise govern under applicable principles of conflicts of laws (whether of the State of Colorado or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any state other than the State of Colorado.

12. Jurisdiction. Each of the parties and the Escrow Agent irrevocably consents to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the federal and state courts located in the State of Colorado, in connection with any claims or disputes that may arise out of or relate to the subject matter set forth herein. Each party and the Escrow Agent irrevocably waives any objection on the grounds of venue, forum non-conveniens or any similar grounds and irrevocably consents to service of process by mail or in any other manner permitted by applicable law. To the extent that in any jurisdiction either party may now or hereafter be entitled to claim for itself or its assets, immunity from suit, execution attachment (before or after judgment), or other legal process, such party shall not claim, and it hereby irrevocably waives, such immunity.

13. Waiver of Trial by Jury Each party and the Escrow Agent further hereby waive any right to a trial by jury with respect to any lawsuit or judicial proceeding arising or relating to this Deposit Escrow Agreement.

14. Counterparts. This Deposit Escrow Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, including by electronic transmission, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. In the event that any signature to this Deposit Escrow Agreement is delivered by e-mail delivery of a portable document format (.pdf or similar format) data file, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such “.pdf” signature page were an original thereof.

15. Headings. The headings used in this Deposit Escrow Agreement are for convenience of reference only and do not constitute a part of this Deposit Escrow Agreement and will not be deemed to limit, characterize or in any way affect any provision of this Deposit Escrow Agreement, and all provisions of this Deposit Escrow Agreement will be enforced and construed as if no heading had been used in this Deposit Escrow Agreement.

16. Interpretation. The captions in this Deposit Escrow Agreement are inserted for convenience of reference only and shall not limit or affect the interpretation of any provision in this Deposit Escrow Agreement. The singular shall include the plural, and the plural shall include the singular; any gender shall include all other genders as the meaning and context of this Deposit Escrow Agreement shall require. This Deposit Escrow Agreement is the product of arm’s length negotiations between sophisticated, well-represented parties and no provision herein shall be construed against the drafter thereof.

17. Severability. If any provision of this Deposit Escrow Agreement is determined to be prohibited or unenforceable by reason of any applicable law of a jurisdiction, then such provision shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions thereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in such jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provisions in any other jurisdiction

18. Amendment. This Deposit Escrow Agreement may not be amended or modified, except by a written instrument executed by the Company, Parent and the Escrow Agent.

19. Termination of Deposit Escrow Agreement. This Deposit Escrow Agreement shall remain in effect unless and until (i) all Escrow Funds are distributed in full, or (ii) it is terminated by a written instrument executed by the Company and Parent.

20. Merger or Consolidation. Any banking association or corporation into which the Escrow Agent (or substantially all of its corporate trust business) may be merged, converted or with which the Escrow Agent may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Escrow Agent shall be a party, shall succeed to all the Escrow Agent’s rights, obligations and immunities hereunder without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding.

21. Funds Transfer. In the event funds transfer instructions are given subject to the terms and conditions hereof (other than in writing at the time of execution of this Deposit Escrow Agreement), whether in writing or by email or facsimile, the Escrow Agent may seek confirmation of such instructions by telephone call-back to the person or person designated in Section 7 hereof, and the Escrow Agent may rely upon the confirmations of anyone purporting to be the person or persons so designated. The persons and telephone numbers for call-backs may be changed only in writing by an authorized party actually received and acknowledged by the Escrow Agent. The parties to this Deposit Escrow Agreement acknowledge that such security procedure is commercially reasonable. It is understood that the Escrow Agent and the beneficiary’s bank in any funds transfer may rely solely upon any account numbers or similar identifying number provided by either of the other parties hereto to identify (i) the beneficiary, (ii) the beneficiary’s bank or (iii) an intermediary bank. The Escrow Agent may apply any of the Escrow Funds for any payment order it executes using any such identifying number, even where its use may result in a person other than the beneficiary being paid, or the transfer of funds to a bank other than the beneficiary’s bank or an intermediary bank, designated.

22. Identifying Information. The Company, Parent and Merger Sub acknowledge that a portion of the identifying information set forth in this Deposit Escrow Agreement and the Exhibits hereto is being requested by the Escrow Agent in connection with the USA Patriot Act, Pub.L.107—56 (the “USA Patriot Act”), and the Company, Parent and Merger Sub agree to provide any additional information reasonably requested by the Escrow Agent pursuant to the USA Patriot Act or any similar legislation or regulation to which Escrow Agent is subject, in a timely manner. The Company, Parent and Merger Sub each represent that all identifying information set forth in this Deposit Escrow Agreement and the Exhibits hereto, including without limitation, its Taxpayer Identification Number or Social Security Number assigned by the Internal Revenue Service, is true and complete on the date hereof and in the event such information regarding a party changes subsequent to the date hereof, such party will promptly notify the Escrow Agent of such change.

The one-time fee covers the administration of Escrow Agent Services, including the maintenance of proper records and performance of duties required under the terms of the Deposit Escrow Agreement. The one-time fee is for a period of 12 months; thereafter, a monthly fee of $250.00 will be billed.

1. EXTRAORDINARY SERVICES:

Extraordinary fees are payable to the Escrow Agent for duties or responsibilities not expected to be incurred at the outset of the transaction, not routine or customary, and not incurred in the ordinary course of business. Payment of extraordinary fees is appropriate where particular inquiries, events or developments are unexpected, even if the possibility of such things could have been identified at the inception of the transaction.

To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, Federal law requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each person who opens an account. For a non-individual person such as a business entity, a charity, a Trust, or other legal entity, we ask for documentation to verify its formation and existence as a legal entity. We may also ask to see financial statements, licenses, identification, and authorization documents from individuals claiming authority to represent the entity or other relevant documentation.

In the absence of fraud, no conflicting interest transaction shall be void or voidable, be enjoined, be set aside, or give rise to an award of damages or other sanctions in a proceeding by a shareholder or by or in the right of the Corporation, solely because the conflicting interest transaction involves a director of the Corporation or an entity in which the a director of the Corporation is a director or officer or has as financial interest, or solely because the director is present at or participates in the meeting of the Corporation’s board of directors or of the committee of the board of directors which authorizes, approves or ratifies a conflicting interest transaction, or solely because the director’s vote is counted for such

purpose if: (A) the material facts as to the director’s relationship or interest and as to the conflicting interest transaction are disclosed or are known to the board of directors or the committee, and the board of directors or committee in good faith authorizes, approves or ratifies the conflicting interest transaction by the affirmative vote of a majority of the disinterested directors, even though the disinterested directors are less than a quorum; or (B) the material facts as to the director’s relationship or interest and as to the conflicting interest transaction are disclosed or are known to the shareholders entitled to vote thereon, and the conflicting interest transaction is specifically authorized, approved or ratified in good faith by a vote of the shareholders; or (C) a conflicting interest transaction is fair as to the Corporation as of the time it is authorized, approved or ratified by the board of directors, a committee thereof, or the shareholders. Common or interested directors may be counted in determining the presence of a quorum at a meeting of the board of directors or of a committee which authorizes, approves or ratifies the conflicting interest transaction.

ELEVENTH: Loans and Guaranties for the Benefit of Directors. Neither the board of directors nor any committee thereof shall authorize a loan by the Corporation to a director of the Corporation or to an entity in which a director of the Corporation is a director or officer or has a financial interest, or a guaranty by the Corporation of an obligation of a director of the Corporation or of an obligation of an entity in which a director of the Corporation is a director or officer or has a financial interest, until at least ten (10) days after written notice of the proposed authorization of the loan or guaranty has been given to the shareholders who would be entitled to vote thereon if the issue of the loan or guaranty were submitted to a vote of the shareholders.

TWELFTH: The Corporation may:

(a) Indemnify any person who was or is party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending, or completed action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the Corporation), by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee, fiduciary or agent of the Corporation or is or was a director, officer, employee, fiduciary or agent of the Corporation or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee, fiduciary or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorney fees), judgments, fines, and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with such action, suit or proceeding, if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in the best interest of the Corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit, or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, or conviction or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent shall not of itself create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in the best interests of the Corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.

(b) The Corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending, or completed action or suit by or in the right of the Corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee, or agent of the Corporation or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee, or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses (including attorney fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in the best interests of the Corporation. Nothing contained herein shall eliminate or limit the personal liability of a director to the Corporation or its shareholders for monetary damages for: (i) any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the Corporation or its shareholders; (ii) acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law; (iii) voting for or assenting to a distribution in violation of Colorado Revised Statutes § 0-000-000 or these articles of incorporation if it is established that the director did not perform such director’s duties in compliance with Colorado Revised Statutes § 0-000-000, provided that the personal liability of a director in this circumstance shall be limited to the amount of the distribution which exceeds what could have been distributed without violation of Colorado Revised Statutes 0-000-000 or these articles of incorporation; or (iv) any transaction from which the director directly or indirectly derives an improper personal benefit. Nothing contained herein will be construed to deprive any director of such director’s right to all defenses ordinarily available to a director nor will anything herein be construed to deprive any director of any right such person have for contribution from any other director or other person.

(c) To the extent that a director, officer, employee, fiduciary or agent of the Corporation has been successful on the merits in defense of any action, suit, or proceeding referred to in (a) or (b) of this Article or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorney fees) actually and reasonable incurred by him in connection therewith.

(d) Any indemnification under (a) or (b) of this Article (unless ordered by a court) and as distinguished from (c) of this Article shall be made by the Corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the directors, officer, employee, fiduciary or agent is proper in the circumstances because he has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in (a) or (b) above. Such determination shall be made by the board of directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to such action, suit, or proceeding, or, if directors so direct, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, or by the shareholders.

(e) Expenses (including attorney fees) incurred in defending a civil or criminal action, suit, or proceeding may be paid by the Corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit, or proceeding as authorized in (c) or (d) of this Article upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director, officer, employee, fiduciary or agent to repay such amount unless it is ultimately determined that he is entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation as authorized in this Article.

(f) The indemnification provided by this Article shall not be deemed exclusive or any other rights to which those indemnified may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement, vote of shareholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise, and any procedure provided for by any of the foregoing, both as to action in his official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office, and shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee, fiduciary or agent and shall inure to the benefit of heirs, executors, and administrators of such a person.

(g) The Corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee, fiduciary or agent of the Corporation or who is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee, fiduciary or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability asserted against him and incurred by him in any such capacity or arising out of his status as such, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify him against such liability under provisions of this Article.

THIRTEENTH: Unless a person is recognized as a shareholder through procedures established by the Corporation pursuant to Colorado Revised Statutes, § 0-000-000 or any similar law, the Corporation shall be entitled to treat the registered holder of any shares of the Corporation as the owner thereof for all purposes permitted by the Colorado Business Corporation Act, including without limitation all rights deriving from such shares, and the Corporation shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to, or interest in, such shares or rights deriving from such shares on the part of any other person including without limitation, a purchaser, assignee or transferee of such shares, unless and until such other person becomes the registered holder of such shares or is recognized as such, whether or not the Corporation shall have either actual or constructive notice of the claimed interest of such other person. By way of example and not of limitation, until such other person has become the registered holder of such shares or is recognized pursuant to Colorado Revised Statutes, § 0-000-000 or any similar applicable law, such person shall not be entitled: (i) to receive notice of any meetings of the shareholders; (ii) to vote at such meetings; (iii) to examine a list of the shareholders; (iv) to be paid dividends or other distributions payable to shareholders; or (v) to own, enjoy and exercise any other rights deriving from such shares against the Corporation. Nothing contained herein will be construed to deprive any beneficial shareholder, as defined in Colorado Revised Statutes, §7-113-101(1), of any right such shareholder may have pursuant to Article 113 of the Colorado Business Corporation Act or any subsequent law.

FOURTEENTH: The Board of Directors and shareholders of the Corporation shall have the right to hold their meetings outside of the State of Colorado when deemed most convenient or to the best interest of the Corporation.

FIFTEENTH: The operations of the said Corporation shall be carried on in the State of Colorado, and the Corporation shall also be permitted to conduct business in other states of the United States and to have one or more offices outside of the State of Colorado.

SIXTEENTH: The Board of Directors may at any meeting, by a majority vote of the whole Board, sell, lease, exchange and/or convey all of its property and assets, including its good will and/or its corporate franchises, upon such terms and conditions and for such consideration or considerations as the Board of Directors in their sole discretion deem expedient and for the best interest of the Corporation and said consideration or considerations may consist in whole or in part of shares of stock and/or securities of any other corporation or corporations; provided, however, in all such cases the affirmative vote of the holders of one-half (1/2) plus one share of the common stock of said Corporation then issued and outstanding shall be voted in ratification of the Board of Directors, said vote to be taken at a special shareholders’ meeting of our said Corporation duly called for that purpose; but nothing herein shall be construed to limit the power of the Board of Directors of our Corporation and said Board shall have power in its sole discretion to sell, lease, exchange, and/or convey such parts or parcels of land or personal property or assets as the Board of Directors determine are no longer necessary or expedient to be held by the Corporation. It is, however, specifically understood that the Board of Directors may at their discretion have the power to create a lien or mortgage on any or all of the assets of the Corporation in order to borrow money should the Board of Directors feel that it is necessary for the conduct of the business.

(d) No information in regard to the business or operations of the Corporation and no copy of, nor extract from any of the books or records of the Corporation shall be permitted to be made by any shareholders of the same.

EIGHTEENTH: The Board of Directors shall have the power to make and amend such prudential bylaws as they deem proper and not inconsistent with the constitution or the laws of the United States or of this State for the management of the property of the Corporation, the regulation and government of its affairs and for the certification and transfer of its stock.

SHAREHOLDERS

SECTION 2.1 ANNUAL MEETING.

The annual meeting of the shareholders shall be held each year at such time on such day as shall be fixed by the board of directors for the purpose of electing directors and for the transaction of such other business as may properly come before the meeting.

The list shall be arranged in alphabetical order, and shall show the address of and the number of shares held by each shareholder. For the period beginning the earlier of ten days prior to the meeting or two business days after notice of the meeting is given and continuing through the meeting and any adjournment thereof, this list shall be kept on file at the principal office of the corporation , or at a place (which shall be identified in the notice) in the city where the meeting will be held. Such list shall be available for inspection on written demand by any shareholder (including for the purpose of this Section any holder of voting trust certificates) or his or her agent or attorney during regular business hours and during the period available for inspection. The original stock transfer books shall be prima facie evidence as to the shareholders entitled to examine such list or to vote any meeting of the shareholders.

Any shareholder, his or her agent or attorney may copy the list during regular business hours and during the period it is available for inspection, provided (i) the shareholder has been a shareholder for at least three months immediately preceding the demand or holds at least five percent of all outstanding shares of any class of shares as of the date of the demand, (ii) the demand is made in good faith and for a purpose reasonably related to the demanding shareholder’s interest as a shareholder, (iii) the shareholder describes with reasonable particularity the purpose and the records the shareholder desires to inspect, (iv) the records are directly connected with the described purpose, and (v) the shareholder pays a reasonable charge covering the costs of labor and material for such copies, not to exceed the estimated cost of production and reproduction.

SECTION 2.6 MEETING OF ALL SHAREHOLDERS.

If all of the shareholders shall meet at any time and place, either within or outside of the State of Colorado, and consent to the holding of a meeting at such time and place, such meeting shall be valid without call or notice, and at such meeting any corporate action may be taken.

SECTION 2.7 CLOSING OF TRANSFER BOOKS

OR FIXING OF RECORD DATE.

For the purpose of determining shareholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of shareholders or any adjournment thereof, or shareholders entitled to receive payment of any dividend, or in order to make a determination of shareholders for any other purpose, the board of directors of the corporation may provide that the share transfer books shall be closed for a stated period but not to exceed, in any case, fifty days.

If the share transfer books shall be closed for the purpose of determining shareholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of shareholders, such books shall be closed for at least ten days immediately preceding such meeting. In lieu of closing the share transfer books, the board of directors may fix in advance a date as the record date for any such determination of shareholders (other than one involving a purchase, redemption, or other acquisition of the of the corporation’s shares), such date in any case to be not more than seventy days and, in case of a meeting of shareholders, not less than ten days prior to the date on which the particular action, requiring such determination of shareholders, is to be taken. If the share transfer books are not closed and no record date is fixed for the determination of shareholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of shareholders, or shareholders entitled to receive payment of a dividend, the date on which notice of the meeting is mailed or the date on which the resolution of the board of directors declaring such dividend is adopted, as the case may be, shall be the record date for such determination of shareholders. When a determination of shareholders entitled to vote at any meeting of shareholders has been made as provided in this Section, such determination shall apply to any adjournment thereof unless otherwise required by law, the Articles of Incorporation or these bylaws.

SECTION 2.8 SHAREHOLDER RECORDS.

The officer or agent having charge of the stock transfer books for shares of the corporation shall make, beginning the earlier of ten days before such meeting of shareholders or two business days after notice of the meeting is given and continuing through the meeting, a complete record of the shareholders entitled to vote at each meeting of shareholders or any adjournment thereof, arranged in alphabetical order, with the address of and the number of shares held by each. The record, for such required period, shall be kept on file at the principal office of the corporation, whether within or outside of the State of Colorado, and shall be subject to inspection by any shareholder for any purpose germane to the meeting at any time during usual business hours during such period. Such record shall be produced and kept open at the time and place of the meeting and shall be subject to the inspection of any shareholder during the whole time of the meeting for the purposes thereof. The original stock transfer books shall be the prima facie evidence as to who are the shareholders entitled to examine the record or transfer books or to vote at any meeting of shareholders.

SECTION 2.9 QUORUM.

One-third of the issued and outstanding shares of the corporation entitled to vote, represented in person or by proxy, shall constitute a quorum at any meeting of shareholders, except as otherwise provided by the Colorado Business Corporation Act, as amended, and the Articles of Incorporation. The shareholders present at a duly organized meeting may continue to transact business until adjournment, notwithstanding the withdrawal during such meeting of that number of shareholders whose absence would cause there to be less than a quorum.

SECTION 2.10 MANNER OF ACTING.

If a quorum is present, action on any matter at a meeting other than the election of directors is approved if a majority of the shares represented at the meeting and entitled to vote on the subject matter approve the action, unless the vote of a greater proportion or number or voting by classes is otherwise required by statute or by the Articles of Incorporation or these bylaws. If a quorum is present and the matter presented at the meeting is an election of directors, that number of candidates equaling the number of directors to be elected, having the highest number of votes cast in favor of their election, are elected to the board of directors.

SECTION 2.11 PROXIES.

At all meetings of shareholders a shareholder may vote in person or by proxy executed in writing by the shareholder or by a duly authorized attorney-in-fact. Such proxy shall be filed with the secretary of the corporation before or at the time of the meeting. No proxy shall be valid after eleven months from the date of the execution, unless otherwise provided in the proxy.

Revocation of a proxy may occur as follows: (i) in cases where the notice of appointment is coupled with an interest, revocation of a proxy does not affect the right of the corporation to accept the proxy’s authority unless the corporation had notice that the appointment was coupled with an interest and notice that such interest is extinguished is received by the secretary or other officer or agent authorized to tabulate votes before the proxy exercises his or her authority under the appointment, or (ii) other notice of the revocation of the appointment is received by the secretary or other officer or agent authorized to tabulate votes before the proxy exercises his or her authority under the appointment. In addition to the foregoing, other notice of revocation may, in the discretion of the corporation , be deemed to include the appearance at a shareholder’s meeting of the shareholder who granted the proxy and his or her voting in person on any matter subject to a vote at such meeting.

The death or incapacity of the shareholder appointing a proxy does not affect the right of the corporation to accept the proxy’s authority unless notice of the death or incapacity is received by the secretary or other officer or agent authorized to tabulate votes before the proxy exercises his or her authority under the appointment.

The corporation shall not be required to recognize an appointment made irrevocable if it has received a writing revoking the appointment signed by the shareholder (including a shareholder who is a successor to the shareholder who granted the proxy) either personally or by his or her attorney-in-fact, notwithstanding that the revocation may be a breach of an obligation of the shareholder to another person not to revoke the appointment.

Subject to any express limitation on the proxy’s authority appearing on the appointment form, the corporation is entitled to accept the proxy’s vote or other action as that of the shareholder making the appointment

SECTION 2.12 VOTING OF SHARES.

Unless otherwise provided by these bylaws or the Articles of Incorporation, each outstanding share entitled to vote shall be entitled to one vote upon each matter submitted to vote at a meeting of shareholders, and each fractional share shall be entitled to a corresponding fractional vote on each such matter.

SECTION 2.13 VOTING OF SHARES BY CERTAIN SHAREHOLDERS.

Shares standing in the name of another corporation or limited liability company may be voted by such officer, manager, agent or proxy as the bylaws of such corporation (or operating agreement if a limited liability company) may prescribe, or, in the absence of such provision, as the board of directors (or managers) of such other corporation (or limited liability company) may determine.

Shares standing in the name of a deceased person, a minor xxxx or an incompetent person, may be voted by an administrator, executor, court appointed guardian or conservator, either in person or by proxy without a transfer of such shares into the name of such administrator, executor, court appointed guardian or conservator. Shares standing in the name of a trustee may be voted by him, either in person or by proxy, but no trustee shall be entitled to vote shares held by him or her without a transfer of such shares into his or her name. Shares standing in the name of a receiver may be voted by such receiver and shares held by or under the control of a receiver may be voted by such receiver without the transfer thereof into the trustee name if authority so to do be contained in an appropriate order of the court by which such receiver was appointed.

A shareholder whose shares are pledged shall be entitled to vote such shares until the shares have been transferred into the name of the pledgee, and thereafter the pledgee shall be entitled to vote the shares so transferred.

Neither shares of its own stock belonging to this corporation, nor shares of its own stock held by it in a fiduciary capacity, nor shares of its own stock held by another corporation if the majority of shares entitled to vote for the election of directors of such corporation is held by this corporation may be voted, directly or indirectly, at any meeting and shall not be counted in determining the total number of outstanding shares at any given time. Redeemable shares which have been called for redemption shall not be entitled to vote on any matter and shall not be deemed outstanding shares on and after the date on which written notice of redemption has been mailed to shareholders and a sum sufficient to redeem such shares has been deposited with a bank or trust company with irrevocable instruction and authority to pay the redemption price to the holders of the shares upon

surrender of certificates therefor, if certificates have been issued in respect thereof, or confirmation of a notation of cancellation of such shares on the books and records of the corporation, if uncertificated.

SECTION 2.14 INFORMAL ACTION BY SHAREHOLDERS.

Any action required or permitted to be taken at a meeting of the shareholders may be taken without a meeting if:

(a) All of the shareholders entitled to vote thereon consent to such action in writing, or

No action taken pursuant to this Section shall be effective unless, within sixty days after the date the corporation first receives a writing describing and consenting to the action and signed by a shareholder, the corporation has received writings that describe and consent to the action, signed by shareholders holding at least the number of shares entitled to vote on the action as required herein, disregarding any such writing that has been revoked as described herein below. For purposes of this Section, the corporation’s receipt of a complete copy of such writing, including a copy of the signature thereto, by electronically transmitted facsimile or other form of wire or wireless communication shall be deemed effective receipt hereunder.

Action taken pursuant to this Section shall be effective as of the date the corporation receives the last writing necessary to effect the action unless all of the writings necessary to effect the action state another date as the effective date of the action, in which case such stated date shall be the effective date of the action.

Any shareholder who has signed a writing describing and consenting to action taken pursuant to this Section may revoke such consent by a writing signed and dated by the shareholder describing the action and stating that the shareholder’s prior consent thereto is revoked, if such writing is received by the corporation prior to the effectiveness of the action.

If action is taken under this section with less than unanimous consent of all shareholders entitled to vote upon the action, the corporation or shareholders taking the action shall, upon receipt by the corporation of all writings necessary to effect the action, give notice of the action to all shareholders who were entitled to vote upon the action but who have not consented to the action in the manner provided in this Section. The notice shall contain or be accompanied by the same material, if any, that would have been required to be given to shareholders in or with a notice of the meeting at which the action would have been submitted to the shareholders.

SECTION 2.15 VOTING BY BALLOT.

Voting on any question or in any election may be by voice vote unless the presiding officer shall order or any shareholder shall demand that voting be by ballot.

Shareholders seeking to nominate persons for election to the board of directors must comply with Section 2.18 and this Section 2.17 shall not be applicable to nominations except as expressly provided in Section 2.18.

(ii) As to each Proposing Person, (a) any derivative, swap or other transaction or series of transactions engaged in, directly or indirectly, by such Proposing Person, the purpose or effect of which is to give such Proposing Person economic risk similar to ownership of shares of any class or series of the corporation, including due to the fact that the value of such derivative, swap or other transactions are determined by reference to the price, value or volatility of any shares of any class or series of the corporation, or which derivative, swap or other transactions provide, directly or indirectly, the opportunity to profit from any increase in the price or value of shares of any class or series of the corporation (“Synthetic Equity Interests”), which Synthetic Equity Interests shall be disclosed without regard to whether (1) the derivative, swap or other transactions convey any voting rights in such shares to such Proposing Person, (2) the derivative, swap or other transactions are required to be, or are capable of being, settled through delivery of such shares or (3) such Proposing Person may have entered into other transactions that hedge or mitigate the economic effect of such derivative, swap or other transactions, (b) any proxy (other than a revocable proxy or consent given in response to a solicitation made pursuant to, and in accordance with, Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act by way of a solicitation statement filed on Schedule 14A), agreement, arrangement, understanding or relationship pursuant to which such Proposing Person has or shares a right to vote any shares of any class or series of the corporation, (c) any agreement, arrangement, understanding or relationship, including any repurchase or similar so-called “stock borrowing” agreement or arrangement, engaged in, directly or indirectly, by such Proposing Person, the purpose or effect of which is to mitigate loss to, reduce the economic risk (of ownership or otherwise) of shares of any class or series of the corporation by, manage the risk of share price changes for, or increase or decrease the voting power of, such Proposing Person with respect to the shares of any class or series of the corporation, or which provides, directly or indirectly, the opportunity to profit from

any decrease in the price or value of the shares of any class or series of the corporation (“Short Interests”), (d) any performance related fees (other than an asset based fee) that such Proposing Person is entitled to based on any increase or decrease in the price or value of shares of any class or series of the corporation, or any Synthetic Equity Interests or Short Interests, if any, (e)(1) if such Proposing Person is not a natural person, the identity of the natural person or persons associated with such Proposing Person responsible for the formulation of and decision to propose the business to be brought before the meeting (such person or persons, the “Responsible Person”), the manner in which such Responsible Person was selected, any fiduciary duties owed by such Responsible Person to the equity holders or other beneficiaries of such Proposing Person, the qualifications and background of such Responsible Person and any material interests or relationships of such Responsible Person that are not shared generally by any other record or beneficial holder of the shares of any class or series of the corporation and that reasonably could have influenced the decision of such Proposing Person to propose such business to be brought before the meeting, and (2) if such Proposing Person is a natural person, the qualifications and background of such natural person and any material interests or relationships of such natural person that are not shared generally by any other record or beneficial holder of the shares of any class or series of the corporation and that reasonably could have influenced the decision of such Proposing Person to propose such business to be brought before the meeting, and (f) any other information relating to such Proposing Person that would be required to be disclosed in a proxy statement or other filing required to be made in connection with solicitations of proxies or consents by such Proposing Person in support of the business proposed to be brought before the meeting pursuant to Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act (the disclosures to be made pursuant to the foregoing clauses (a) through (f) are referred to as “Disclosable Interests”); provided, however, that Disclosable Interests shall not include any such disclosures with respect to the ordinary course business activities of any broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee who is a Proposing Person solely as a result of being the shareholder directed to prepare and submit the notice required by these bylaws on behalf of a beneficial owner; and

(iii) As to each item of business that the shareholder proposes to bring before the annual meeting, (a) a reasonably brief description of the business desired to be brought before the annual meeting, the reasons for conducting such business at the annual meeting and any material interest in such business of each Proposing Person, (b) the text of the proposal or business (including the text of any resolutions proposed for consideration), and (c) a reasonably detailed description of all agreements, arrangements and understandings (1) between or among any of the Proposing Persons or (2) between or among any Proposing Person and any other person or entity (including their names) in connection with the proposal of such business by such shareholder. For purposes of this Section 2.17, the term “Proposing Person” shall mean (i) the shareholder providing the notice of business proposed to be brought before an annual meeting, (ii) the beneficial owner or beneficial owners, if different, on whose behalf the notice of the business proposed to be brought before the annual meeting is made, (iii) any affiliate or associate (each within the meaning of Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act for purposes of these bylaws) of such shareholder or beneficial owner, and (iv) any other person with whom

such shareholder or beneficial owner (or any of their respective affiliates or associates) is Acting in Concert (as defined below).

A person shall be deemed to be “Acting in Concert” with another person for purposes of these bylaws if such person knowingly acts (whether or not pursuant to an express agreement, arrangement or understanding) in concert with, or towards a common goal relating to the management, governance or control of the corporation in parallel with, such other person where (i) each person is conscious of the other person’s conduct or intent and this awareness is an element in their decision-making processes and (ii) at least one additional factor suggests that such persons intend to act in concert or in parallel, which such additional factors may include, without limitation, exchanging information (whether publicly or privately), attending meetings, conducting discussions, or making or soliciting invitations to act in concert or in parallel; provided, that a person shall not be deemed to be Acting in Concert with any other person solely as a result of the solicitation or receipt of revocable proxies or consents from such other person in response to a solicitation made pursuant to, and in accordance with, Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act by way of a proxy or consent solicitation statement filed on Schedule 14A. A person Acting in Concert with another person shall be deemed to be Acting in Concert with any third party who is also Acting in Concert with such other person.

A shareholder providing notice of business proposed to be brought before an annual meeting shall further update and supplement such notice, if necessary, so that the information provided or required to be provided in such notice pursuant to this Section 2.17 shall be true and correct as of the record date for the meeting and as of the date that is ten business days prior to the meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof, and such update and supplement shall be delivered to, or mailed and received by, the secretary at the principal office of the corporation not later than five business days after the record date for the meeting (in the case of the update and supplement required to be made as of the record date), and not later than eight business days prior to the date for the meeting, if practicable (or, if not practicable, on the first practicable date prior to the date for the meeting), or any adjournment or postponement thereof (in the case of the update and supplement required to be made as of ten business days prior to the meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof).

E. Notwithstanding anything in these bylaws to the contrary, no business shall be conducted at an annual meeting except in accordance with this Section 2.17. The chairman or presiding officer of the meeting shall, if the facts warrant, determine that the business was not properly brought before the meeting in accordance with this Section 2.17, and if he or she should so determine, he or she shall so declare to the meeting and any such business not properly brought before the meeting shall not be transacted.

F. This Section 2.17 is expressly intended to apply to any business proposed to be brought before an annual meeting of shareholders other than any proposal made pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act. In addition to the requirements of this Section 2.17 with respect to any business proposed to be brought before an annual meeting, each

Proposing Person shall comply with all applicable requirements of the Exchange Act with respect to any such business.

Nothing in this Section 2.17 shall be deemed to affect the rights of shareholders to request inclusion of proposals in the corporation’s proxy statement pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act.

G. For purposes of these bylaws, “public disclosure” shall mean disclosure in a press release reported by a national news service or in a document publicly filed by the corporation with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Sections 13, 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act.

B. To be in proper form for purposes of this Section 2.19, a request by a shareholder for the board of directors to fix a record date shall set forth:

(i) As to each Requesting Person (as defined below), the Shareholder Information (as defined in Section 2.17(C)(i), except that for purposes of this Section 2.19 the term “Requesting Person” shall be substituted for the term “Proposing Person” in all places it appears in Section 2.17(C)(i));

(ii) As to each Requesting Person, any Disclosable Interests (as defined in Section 2.17(C)(ii), except that for purposes of this Section 2.19 the term “Requesting Person” shall be substituted for the term “Proposing Person” in all places it appears in Section 2.17(C)(ii) and the disclosure in clause (f) of Section 2.17(C)(ii) shall be made with respect to the business proposed to be conducted at the special meeting); and

(iii) As to the purpose or purposes of the special meeting, (a) a reasonably brief

description of the purpose or purposes of the special meeting and the business proposed to be conducted at the special meeting, the reasons for conducting such business at the special meeting and any material interest in such business of each Requesting Person, and (b) a reasonably detailed description of all agreements, arrangements and understandings (1) between or among any of the Requesting Persons or (2) between or among any Requesting Person and any other person or entity (including their names) in connection with the request for the special meeting or the business proposed to be conducted at the special meeting. For purposes of this Section 2.19(B), the term “Requesting Person” shall mean (i) the shareholder making the request to fix a record date for the purpose of determining the shareholders entitled to demand that the a special meeting be called, (ii) the beneficial owner or beneficial owners, if different, on whose behalf such request is made, (iii) any affiliate or associate of such shareholder or beneficial owner, and (iv) any other person with whom such shareholder or beneficial owner (or any of their respective affiliates or associates) is Acting in Concert (as defined in Section 2.17(C)).

C. Within thirty days after receipt of a request to fix a record date in proper form and otherwise in compliance with this Section 2.19 from any shareholder of record, the board of directors may adopt a resolution fixing a record date for the purpose of determining the shareholders entitled to demand that the corporation call a special meeting, which date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the board of directors. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2.19 to the contrary, no record date shall be fixed if the board of directors determines that the demand or demands that would otherwise be submitted following such record date could not comply with the requirements set forth in clauses (ii), (iv), (v) or (vi) of Section 2.19(E).

D. Without qualification, a special meeting of the shareholders shall not be called pursuant to Section 2.2 unless shareholders of record as of the record date fixed in accordance with Section 2.19(C) who hold, in the aggregate, more than ten percent of the voting power of the outstanding shares of the corporation (the “Requisite Percentage”) timely provide one or more demands to call such special meeting in writing and in proper form to the secretary of the corporation at the principal office of the corporation. Only shareholders of record on the record date shall be entitled to demand that the corporation call a special meeting of the shareholders pursuant to Section 2.2. To be timely, a shareholder’s demand to call a special meeting must be delivered to, or mailed and received at, the principal office of the corporation not later than the seventieth day following the record date fixed in accordance with Section 2.19(C). To be in proper form for purposes of this Section 2.19, a demand to call a special meeting shall set forth (i) the business proposed to be conducted at the special meeting, (ii) the text of the proposal or business (including the text of any resolutions proposed for consideration), and (iii) with respect to any shareholder or shareholders submitting a demand to call a special meeting (except for any shareholder that has provided such demand in response to a solicitation made pursuant to, and in accordance with, Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act by way of a solicitation statement filed on Schedule 14A) (a “Solicited Shareholder”) the information required to be provided pursuant to this Section 2.19 of a Requesting Person. A shareholder may revoke a demand to call a special meeting by written revocation delivered to the secretary at any time prior to the special meeting. If

any such revocation(s) are received by the secretary after the secretary’s receipt of written demands from the holders of the Requisite Percentage of shareholders, and as a result of such revocation(s), there no longer are unrevoked demands from the Requisite Percentage of shareholders to call a special meeting, the board of directors shall have the discretion to determine whether or not to proceed with the special meeting.

F. The secretary shall not accept, and shall consider ineffective, a written demand from a shareholder to call a special meeting (i) that does not comply with this Section 2.19, (ii) that relates to an item of business to be transacted at such meeting that is not a proper subject for shareholder action under applicable law, (iii) that includes an item of business to be transacted at such meeting that did not appear on the written request that resulted in the determination of the record date (the “Current Record Date”) to determine the shareholders entitled to submit such written demand, (iv) that relates to an item of business (other than the election of directors) that is identical or substantially similar to an item of business (a “Similar Item”) for which a record date (other than the Current Record Date) was previously fixed and such demand is delivered between the time beginning on the day after such previous record date and ending on the one-year anniversary of such previous record date, (v) if a Similar Item will be submitted for shareholder approval at any shareholder meeting to be held on or before the date that is one hundred twenty days after the secretary receives such demand, or (vi) if a Similar Item has been presented at the most recent annual meeting or at any special meeting held within one year prior to receipt by the secretary of such demand to call a special meeting.

G. After receipt within seventy days of the record date so chosen of one or more written demands in proper form and in accordance with this Section 2.19 from a shareholder or shareholders holding the Requisite Percentage, the board of directors shall duly call, and determine the place, date and time of, a special meeting of shareholders for the purpose or purposes and to conduct the business specified in the demands received by the corporation. Notwithstanding anything in these bylaws to the contrary, the board of directors may submit its own proposal or proposals for consideration at such a special meeting. The record date for determining the shareholders entitled to be given notice of and to vote at such a special meeting shall be fixed in accordance with Section 2.6 of these bylaws. The board of directors shall provide written notice of such special meeting to the shareholders in accordance with Section 2.4 of these bylaws.

H. In connection with a special meeting called in accordance with Section 2.2 and this Section 2.19, the shareholder or shareholders (except for any Solicited Shareholder) who requested that the board of directors fix a record date in accordance with this Section 2.19 or who delivered a demand to call a special meeting to the secretary shall further update and supplement the information previously provided to the corporation in connection with such request or demand, if necessary, so that the information provided or required to be provided in such request or demand pursuant to this Section 2.19 shall be true and correct as of the record date for the special meeting and as of the date that is ten business days prior to the meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof, and such update and supplement shall be delivered to, or mailed and received by, the secretary at the principal office of the corporation not later than five business days after the record date

for the special meeting (in the case of the update and supplement required to be made as of the record date), and not later than eight business days prior to the date for the meeting, if practicable (or, if not practicable, the first practicable date prior to the date for the meeting), or any adjournment or postponement thereof (in the case of the update and supplement required to be made as of ten business days prior to the special meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof).

I. Notwithstanding anything in these bylaws to the contrary, the secretary shall not be required to call a special meeting pursuant to Section 2.2 or this Section 2.19 except in accordance with this Section 2.19. If the board of directors shall determine that any request to fix a record date or demand to call and hold a special meeting was not properly made in accordance with this Section 2.19, or shall determine that the shareholder or shareholders requesting that the board of directors fix such record date or submitting a demand to call the special meeting have not otherwise complied with this Section 2.19, then the board of directors shall not be required to fix a record date or to call and hold the special meeting. In addition to the requirements of this Section 2.19, each Requesting Person shall comply with all requirements of applicable law, including all requirements of the Exchange Act, with respect to any request to fix a record date or demand to call a special meeting.

ARTICLE 7

INDEMNIFICATION

SECTION 7.1 INDEMNIFICATION.

For purposes of this Article 7, a “Proper Person” means any person (including the estate or personal representative of a director) who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending, or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, and whether formal or informal, by reason of the fact that such individual is or was a director, officer, employee, fiduciary or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, partner, trustee, employee, fiduciary or agent of any foreign or domestic profit or nonprofit corporation or of any partnership, joint venture, trust, profit or nonprofit unincorporated association, limited liability company, or other enterprise or employee benefit plan. The corporation shall indemnify any Proper Person against reasonably incurred expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), judgments, penalties, fines (including any excise tax assessed with respect to an employee benefit plan) and amounts paid in settlement reasonably incurred by such Proper Person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if it is determined by the groups set forth in Section 7.4 of this Article 7 that such Proper Person conducted himself in good faith and reasonably believed (i) in the case of conduct in the official capacity of such Proper Person with the corporation, that the conduct of such Proper Person was in the corporation’s best interests; or (ii) in all other cases (except criminal cases), that the conduct of such Proper Person was at least not opposed to the corporation’s best interests; or (iii) in the case of any criminal proceeding, that the Proper Person had no reasonable cause to believe such conduct was unlawful. Official capacity means, when used with respect to a director, the office of director and, when used with respect to any other Proper Person, the office in a corporation held by the officer or the employment, fiduciary or agency relationship undertaken by the employee, fiduciary, or agent on behalf of the corporation. Official capacity does not include service for any other domestic or foreign corporation or other person or employee benefit plan. A director’s conduct with respect to an employee benefit plan for a purpose the director reasonably believed to be in the interests of the participants in or beneficiaries of the plan is conduct that satisfies the requirement in (ii) of this Section 7.1. A director’s conduct with respect to an employee benefit plan for a purpose that the director did not reasonably believe to be in the interests of the participants in or beneficiaries of the plan shall be deemed not to satisfy the requirement of this Section 7.1 that a director acted in good faith. No indemnification shall be made under this Article 7 to a Proper Person with respect to any claim, issue or matter in connection with a proceeding by or in the right of a corporation in which the Proper

Person was adjudged liable to the corporation or in connection with any proceeding charging that the Proper Person derived an improper personal benefit, whether or not involving action in an official capacity, in which such Proper Person was adjudged liable on the basis that such Proper Person derived an improper personal benefit. Further, indemnification under this Section 7.1 in connection with a proceeding brought by or in the right of the corporation shall be limited to reasonable expenses, including attorneys’ fees, incurred in connection with the proceeding.

SECTION 7.2 RIGHT TO INDEMNIFICATION.

The corporation shall indemnify any Proper Person who was wholly successful, on the merits or otherwise, in defense of any action, suit, or proceeding as to which such Proper Person was entitled to indemnification under Section 7.l of this Article 7 against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) reasonably incurred by such Proper Person in connection with the proceeding without the necessity of any action by the corporation other than the determination in good faith that the defense has been wholly successful.

SECTION 7.3 EFFECT OF TERMINATION OF ACTION.

The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement or conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent shall not of itself create a presumption that the person seeking indemnification did not meet the standards of conduct described in Section 7.1 of this Article 7. Entry of a judgment by consent as part of a settlement shall not be deemed an adjudication of liability, as described in Section 7.2 of this Article 7.

SECTION 7.4 GROUPS AUTHORIZED TO MAKE

INDEMNIFICATION DETERMINATION.

Except where there is a right to indemnification as set forth in Sections 7.1 or 7.2 of this Article 7 or where indemnification is ordered by a court in Section 7.5 of this Article 7, any indemnification shall be made by the corporation only as determined in the specific case by a proper group that indemnification of the Proper Person is permissible under the circumstances because the Proper Person has met the applicable standards of conduct set forth in Section 7.1 of this Article 7. This determination shall be made by the board of directors by a majority vote of those present at a meeting at which a Quorum, as defined hereunder, is present. For purposes of this Article 7, a “Quorum” shall consist of all directors not party to the proceeding. If a Quorum cannot be obtained, the determination shall be made by a majority vote of a committee of the board of directors designated by the board of directors, which committee shall consist of two or more directors not parties to the proceeding, except that directors who are parties to the proceeding may participate in the designation of directors for the committee. If a Quorum of the board of directors cannot be obtained and the committee cannot be established, or even if a Quorum is obtained or the committee is designated and a majority of the directors constituting such Quorum or committee so directs, the determination shall be made by (i) independent legal counsel selected by a vote of the board of directors or the committee in the manner

specified in this Section 7.4 or, if a Quorum of the full board of directors cannot be obtained and a committee cannot be established, by independent legal counsel selected by a majority vote of the full board of directors (including directors who are parties to the action) or (ii) a vote of the shareholders. Authorization of indemnification and advance of expenses shall be made in the same manner as the determination that indemnification or advance of expenses is permissible except that, if the determination that indemnification or advance of expenses is permissible is made by independent legal counsel, authorization of indemnification and advance of expenses shall be made by the body that selected such counsel.

SECTION 7.5 COURT—ORDERED INDEMNIFICATION.

Any Proper Person may apply for indemnification to the court conducting the proceeding or to another court of competent jurisdiction for mandatory indemnification under Section 7.2 of this Article 7, including indemnification for reasonable expenses incurred to obtain court-ordered indemnification. If a court determines that the Proper Person is entitled to indemnification under Section 7.2 of this Article 7, the court shall order indemnification, including the Proper Person’s reasonable expenses incurred to obtain court-ordered indemnification. If the court determines that such Proper Person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification in view of all the relevant circumstances, whether or not such Proper Person met the standards of conduct set forth in Section 7.1 of this Article 7 or was adjudged liable in the proceeding, the court may order such indemnification as the court deems proper except that if the Proper Person has been adjudged liable, indemnification shall be limited to reasonable expenses incurred in connection with the proceeding and reasonable expenses incurred to obtain court-ordered indemnification.

SECTION 7.6 ADVANCE OF EXPENSES.

Reasonable expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred in defending an action, suit or proceeding as described in Section 7.1 of this Article 7 may be paid by the corporation to any Proper Person in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of (i) a written affirmation of such Proper Person’s good faith belief that such Proper Person has met the standards of conduct prescribed by Section 7.1 of this Article 7; (ii) a written undertaking, executed personally or on the Proper Person’s behalf, to repay such advances if it is ultimately determined that such Proper Person did not meet the prescribed standards of conduct (the undertaking shall be an unlimited general obligation of the Proper Person but need not be secured and may be accepted without reference to financial ability to make repayment); and (iii) a determination is made by the proper group (as described in Section 7.4 of this Article 7) that the facts as then known to the group would not preclude indemnification. Determination and authorization of payments shall be made in the same manner specified in Section 7.4 of this Article 7.

SECTION 7.7 ADDITIONAL INDEMNIFICATION TO CERTAIN PERSONS OTHER THAN DIRECTORS.

In addition to the indemnification provided to officers, employees, fiduciaries or agents because of their status as Proper Persons under this Article 7, the corporation may also indemnify and advance expenses to them if they are not directors of the corporation to a greater extent than is provided in these bylaws, if not inconsistent with public policy, and if provided for by general or specific action of its board of directors or shareholders or by contract.

SECTION 7.8 WITNESS EXPENSES.

The sections of this Article 7 do not limit the corporation’s authority to pay or reimburse expenses incurred by a director in connection with an appearance as a witness in a proceeding at a time when such individual has not been made a named as a defendant or respondent in the proceeding.

SECTION 7.9 REPORT TO SHAREHOLDERS.

Any indemnification of or advance of expenses to a director in accordance with this Article 7, if arising out of a proceeding by or on behalf of the corporation, shall be reported in writing to the shareholders with or before the notice of the next shareholders’ meeting. If the next shareholder action is taken without a meeting at the instigation of the board of directors, such notice shall be given to the shareholders at or before the time the first shareholder signs a writing consenting to such action.

SECTION 7.10 PROVISION OF INSURANCE.

By action of the board of directors, notwithstanding any interest of the directors in the action, the corporation may purchase and maintain insurance, in such scope and amounts as the board of directors deems appropriate, on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee, fiduciary or agent of the corporation, or who, while a director, officer, employee, fiduciary or agent of the corporation, is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, partner, trustee, employee, fiduciary or agent of any other foreign or domestic profit or nonprofit corporation or of any partnership, joint venture, trust, profit or nonprofit unincorporated association, limited liability company, other enterprise or employee benefit plan, against any liability asserted against, or incurred by, such individual in that capacity or arising out of such individual’s status as such, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify such individual against such liability under the provisions of Article 7 of these bylaws or applicable law. Any such insurance may be procured from any insurance company designated by the board of directors of the corporation, whether such insurance company is formed under the laws of Colorado or any other jurisdiction of the United States or elsewhere, including any insurance company in which the corporation has an equity interest or any other interest, through stock ownership or otherwise.

ARTICLE 8 FISCAL YEAR

The fiscal year of the corporation shall end on the last day of December each year.

The board of directors may from time to time declare, and the corporation may pay, dividends on its outstanding shares in the manner and upon the terms and conditions provided by law and its Articles of Incorporation.

ARTICLE 10

CORPORATE SEAL

Unless required by third parties with whom the corporation may do business, the proper officers of the corporation shall not be required to use a corporate seal to authorize or authenticate corporate action. In such cases where a third party requires the use of a corporate seal, the board of directors authorize the use of a corporate seal which shall be circular in form and shall have inscribed thereon the name of the corporation and the state of incorporation and the words “CORPORATE SEAL.”

ARTICLE 11
