AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER

THIS AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER (this “Agreement”), dated as of November 7, 2013, is among Essilor International SA, a French société anonyme (the “Parent”), GWH Acquisition Sub Inc., a Rhode Island corporation and an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Parent (the “Merger Sub”), and Costa Inc., a Rhode Island corporation (the “Company”).

WHEREAS, the respective Boards of Directors of the Parent, the Merger Sub and the Company have determined that it would be in the best interests of their respective companies and their shareholders for the Parent to acquire the Company upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement;

WHEREAS, the acquisition of the Company shall be effected through a merger (the “Merger”) of the Merger Sub with and into the Company in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Rhode Island Business Corporation Act (the “RIBCA”),as a result of which the Company shall become an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Parent; and

WHEREAS, concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement and as a condition and inducement to the Parent’s willingness to enter into this Agreement, the shareholders of the Company listed on Schedule A have entered into a Shareholders Agreement, dated as of the date of this Agreement, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Company Shareholder Agreement”), pursuant to which such shareholders have, among other things, agreed to vote all of the shares of voting capital stock of the Company that such shareholders own in favor of the Company Voting Proposal, on the terms and subject to the conditions provided for in the Company Shareholder Agreement;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the respective representations, warranties, covenants and agreements set forth herein, the Parent, the Merger Sub and the Company agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

THE MERGER

1.1 The Merger. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, and in accordance with the RIBCA, the Merger Sub shall merge with and into the Company at the Effective Time. At the Effective Time, the separate corporate existence of the Merger Sub shall cease and the Company shall continue as the surviving corporation (the “Surviving Corporation”) and shall succeed to and assume all the rights and obligations of the Merger Sub in accordance with the RIBCA.

1.2 Closing. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, the closing of the Merger (the “Closing”) shall take place at 9:00 a.m., Eastern Time, on a date to be specified by the parties (and in any event within three business days) after the satisfaction or (to the extent permitted by applicable Law) waiver of the conditions set forth in Article VII (other than those that by their terms cannot be satisfied until the time of the Closing but subject to the fulfillment or waiver of such conditions), at the offices of Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx LLP, 000 Xxxxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxx, XX 00000, or at such other time, date or place agreed to in writing by the Parent and the Company. The date on which the Closing occurs is referred to in this Agreement as the “Closing Date.”

1.3 Effective Time. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, as soon as practicable on or after the Closing Date, the articles of merger or other appropriate documents (in any such case, the “Articles of Merger”) shall be duly prepared, executed and acknowledged by the parties in accordance with the relevant provisions of the RIBCA and filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Rhode Island (the “Rhode Island Secretary of State”). The Merger shall become effective at such date and time as the Parent and the Company may agree and as set forth in the Articles of Merger that shall be filed with the Rhode Island Secretary of State. The date and time at which the Merger becomes effective as set forth in the Articles of Merger is referred to in this Agreement as the “Effective Time.”

1.4 Effects of the Merger. The Merger shall have the effects set forth in Section 7-1.2-1005 of the RIBCA. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and subject thereto, at the Effective Time, all the properties, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of the Company and Merger Sub shall vest in the Surviving Corporation, and all debts, liabilities and duties of the Company and Merger Sub shall become the debts, liabilities and duties of the Surviving Corporation.

1.5 Articles of Incorporation and By-Laws.

The By-laws of the Merger Sub as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the By-laws of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter amended in accordance with the terms thereof, the Articles of Incorporation of the Company or the RIBCA.

1.6 Directors and Officers. The directors of the Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time will be the initial directors of the Surviving Corporation, and the officers of the Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time will be the initial officers of the Surviving Corporation, in each case until their successors are elected and qualified.

ARTICLE II

CONVERSION OF SECURITIES

2.1 Effect of Merger on Capital Stock.

(a) At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder of any shares of the capital stock of the Company or capital stock of the Merger Sub:

(i) each share of the Merger Sub’s capital stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and become one validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of the same class of capital stock of the Surviving Corporation;

(ii) each Class A Common Share, $1.00 par value per share (“Class A Common Share”), and Class B Common Share, $1.00 par value per share (“Class B Common Share”), of the Company (collectively, the “Company Common Shares”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time that is owned by the Parent, the Merger Sub or the Company or any direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Parent, the Merger Sub or the Company, including all Company Common Shares held by the Company as treasury shares, shall automatically be cancelled, and no payment shall be made with respect thereto; and

(iii) each Company Common Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than Company Common Shares to be cancelled pursuant to clause (ii) above) shall be automatically cancelled and extinguished and be converted into and become the right to receive $21.50 in cash (the “Merger Consideration”). As of the Effective Time, all such Company Common Shares shall no longer be outstanding and shall be automatically cancelled and shall cease to exist, and each holder of a certificate which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented any such Company Common Shares (each, a “Certificate”) and each holder of any such Company Common Shares held in book entry form immediately prior to the Effective Time (“Book Entry Shares”) shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to this Section 2.1(a)(iii) upon surrender of such Certificate or such Book Entry Shares in accordance with Section 2.2, without interest and subject to any applicable withholding rights in accordance with Section 2.2(g).

(b) In connection with the Merger, each outstanding option to purchase Company Common Shares (“Company Stock Options”) and each award consisting of Company Common Shares subject to forfeiture, repurchase, redemption, right of first refusal or other restrictions, whether granted under a Company Stock Plan or otherwise (other than Company Stock Options) (“Company Restricted Stock Awards”), shall be treated in the manner set forth in Section 6.11.

- 3 -

2.2 Exchange of Certificates. The procedures for exchanging outstanding Company Common Shares for the Merger Consideration pursuant to the Merger are as follows:

(a) Paying Agent. Prior to the Effective Time, the Parent shall select a bank or trust company reasonably acceptable to the Company to act as agent (the “Paying Agent”) for the holders of Company Common Shares to receive, on terms reasonably acceptable to the Company, for the benefit of the holders of Company Common Shares, the aggregate Merger Consideration to which the holders of the Company Common Shares shall be entitled after the Effective Time upon surrender of Certificates or Book Entry Shares. The Parent shall deposit such aggregate Merger Consideration with the Paying Agent at or prior to the Closing (such cash being hereinafter referred to as the “Payment Fund”).

(b) Exchange Procedures. Promptly after the Effective Time (but in no event more than three business days thereafter), the Parent shall instruct the Paying Agent to mail to each holder of record of a Certificate or of Book Entry Shares, (i) a letter of transmittal (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to a Certificate shall pass, only upon delivery of the Certificate to the Paying Agent and, in the case of Book Entry Shares, delivery shall be effected and risk of loss and title shall pass only upon adherence to the procedures set forth in the letter of transmittal, and which letter of transmittal shall be in such form and have such other reasonable provisions as the Parent may specify) and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of Certificates and Book Entry Shares in exchange for the Merger Consideration. Surrender of any Book Entry Shares shall be effected in accordance with the Paying Agent’s customary procedures with respect to securities represented by book entry. Upon surrender of a Certificate or Book Entry Shares for cancellation to the Paying Agent, together with such letter of transmittal, duly completed and properly executed, and such other documents as may reasonably be required by the Paying Agent, the holder of such Certificate or Book Entry Shares shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor an amount of cash equal to the Merger Consideration that such holder has the right to receive pursuant to Section 2.1(a)(iii), and the Certificate or Book Entry Shares so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled. In the event of a transfer of ownership of Company Common Shares that is not registered in the stock transfer records of the Company, payment may be made to a person other than the person in whose name the Certificate or Book Entry Shares so surrendered is or are registered if, in the case of a Certificate, such Certificate shall be properly endorsed or otherwise be in proper form for transfer, or, in the case of Book Entry Shares, the person in whose name such Book Entry Shares are registered shall have delivered to the Paying Agent instruments of transfer in such form as the Paying Agent may require in accordance with its customary procedures for the transfer for securities represented by book entry, and, in each case, the person requesting such payment shall pay any transfer or other Taxes required by reason of the payment to a person other than the registered holder of such Certificate or Book Entry Shares or establish to the satisfaction of the Parent that such Tax has been paid or is not applicable. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 2.2, each Certificate and all Book Entry Shares shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive upon such surrender the amount of cash, without interest, into which the Company Common Shares formerly represented by such Certificate or Book Entry Shares have been converted pursuant to Section 2.1(a)(iii). No interest shall be paid or shall accrue on the cash payable upon surrender of any Certificate or Book Entry Shares.

- 4 -

(c) No Further Ownership Rights in Company Common Shares. The Merger Consideration paid upon the surrender of a Certificate or Book Entry Shares in accordance with the terms of this Article II shall be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to the shares of the capital stock of the Company formerly represented by such Certificate or Book Entry Shares. Upon the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed, and there shall be no further registration of transfers on the stock transfer books of the Surviving Corporation of shares of the capital stock of the Company that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, any Certificates or Book Entry Shares are presented to the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent for any reason, they shall be cancelled and exchanged as provided in this Article II.

(d) Termination of Payment Fund. Any portion of the Payment Fund that remains undistributed to the holders of Certificates or Book Entry Shares for six months after the Effective Time shall be delivered by the Paying Agent to the Parentor the Surviving Corporation, upon demand, and any holder of a Certificate or Book Entry Shares who has not theretofore complied with this Article II shall thereafter look only to the Parentor the Surviving Corporation for payment of the Merger Consideration (subject to abandoned property, escheat or other similar laws), but shall have no greater rights against the Parentor the Surviving Corporation than may be accorded to general unsecured creditors of the Parentor the Surviving Corporation under applicable law.

(e) No Liability. None of the Parent, the Merger Sub, the Company, the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent shall be liable to any person in respect of any cash from the Payment Fund delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar law. If any Certificate or any Book Entry Shares have not been surrendered prior to the date on which the Merger Consideration in respect of such Certificate or Book Entry Shares would otherwise escheat to or become the property of any Governmental Entity, any such cash in respect of such Certificate or Book Entry Shares shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, become the property of the Surviving Corporation, free and clear of all claims or interest of any person previously entitled thereto.

(f) Investments of Payment Fund. The Paying Agent shall invest any cash included in the Payment Fund in (i) direct obligations of the United States of America, (ii) obligations for which the full faith and credit of the United States of America is pledged to provide for payment of all principal and interest, (iii) commercial paper obligations receiving the highest rating from either Xxxxx’x Investor Services, Inc. or Standard & Poor’s, a division of The XxXxxx-Xxxx Companies, or (iv) money market funds investing solely in a combination of the foregoing, or a combination thereof, as directed by and for the benefit of the Parent; provided, however, that no gain or loss thereon shall affect the amounts payable hereunder. Any interest and other income resulting from such investments shall be paid to and be the property of the Parent.

(g) Withholding Rights. The Parent, the Surviving Corporation and the Paying Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as are required to be deducted and withheld by any of them with respect to the making of such payment under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), or any other applicable law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld and paid over to the appropriate Taxing Authority by the Parent, the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of the Company Common Shares in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made by the Parent, the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent. In the event that the Parent does not assign its rights hereunder (in accordance with Section 9.5) to a U.S. entity, the foregoing withholding rights shall be limited to amounts that would have been withheld had the Parent assigned such rights to a U.S. entity.

- 5 -

2.3 Lost Certificates. If any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, the Paying Agent shall pay to such holder the Merger Consideration required pursuant to Section 2.1(a)(iii), in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the holder thereof with such assurances as the Parent or Paying Agent, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the payment of the Merger Consideration, may require of the holder of such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate.

(ii) enter into, continue or otherwise participate in any communications, discussions or negotiations regarding, furnish to any person any information or data with respect to, knowingly assist or participate in any effort or attempt by any person with respect to, or otherwise knowingly cooperate in any way with, any Acquisition Proposal (other than to advise such person of the Company’s obligations under this Section 6.1).

- 42 -

Notwithstanding the foregoing, prior to the receipt of the Company Shareholder Approval (the “Specified Time”), the Company may, in response to a bona fide, unsolicited written Acquisition Proposal (that has not been withdrawn) made or received after the date of this Agreement, in each case that did not result from a breach by the Company of this Section 6.1, (x) contact the person or group of persons who has made such Acquisition Proposal in order to clarify terms for the sole purpose of the Company Board informing itself about such Acquisition Proposal in order to assess whether such proposal is reasonably likely to lead to a Superior Proposal and (y) if the Company Board reasonably determines in good faith after consultation with outside counsel and the Financial Advisor or another nationally recognized independent financial advisor that such Acquisition Proposal is reasonably likely to lead to a Superior Proposal and that the failure to take such action would be inconsistent with the fiduciary duties of the Company Board under applicable Law, (1) furnish information or data with respect to the Company to the person making such Acquisition Proposal and its Representatives pursuant to a customary confidentiality agreement not less restrictive of the other party than the Confidentiality Agreement (a copy of which shall be provided to the Parent within 48 hours of being fully executed) (provided that such confidentiality agreement shall not be required to restrict a person from privately communicating an Acquisition Proposal to the Company, the Company Board or any committee thereof, and provided further that such confidentiality agreement and any related agreements shall not include any provision calling for any exclusive right to negotiate with such party or having the effect of otherwise prohibiting the Company from complying with any provisions of this Section 6.1) and (2) participate in discussions or negotiations with such person and its Representatives regarding such Acquisition Proposal. Without limiting the foregoing, it is agreed that any violation of the restrictions set forth in this Section 6.1(a) by any director, officer or employee of the Company or its Subsidiary, whether or not such person is purporting to act on behalf of the Company or otherwise, shall be deemed to be a breach of this Section 6.1(a) by the Company.

(b) Neither the Company Board nor any committee thereof shall:

(i) except as set forth in this Section 6.1(b), withhold, withdraw, qualify or modify, or propose to any third party to withhold, withdraw, qualify or modify, in a manner adverse to the Parent or the Merger Sub, the approval or recommendation by the Company Board or any such committee of this Agreement or the Merger;

(ii) cause or permit the Company to enter into any letter of intent, memorandum of understanding, agreement in principle, acquisition agreement, merger agreement or similar agreement constituting or relating to, or that could reasonably be expected to lead to, any Acquisition Proposal (other than a confidentiality agreement referred to in Section 6.1(a) entered into in the circumstances referred to in Section 6.1(a)); or

(iii) adopt, approve or recommend, or propose to adopt, approve or recommend, any Acquisition Proposal.

- 43 -

Notwithstanding the foregoing, provided the Company shall not have breached in a material respect its obligations under Section 6.1(a), the Company Board may withdraw or modify the recommendation by the Company Board or any committee thereof of this Agreement or the Merger if:

(A) the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with outside counsel and the Financial Advisor or another nationally recognized independent financial advisor, that the failure to take such action would be inconsistent with the fiduciary duties of the Company Board to the shareholders of the Company either (1) based upon a material development or change that impacts the Company (other than an Acquisition Proposal) that was neither known to, nor reasonably foreseeable by, the Company Board or management of the Company or its Subsidiary as of or prior to the date hereof (it being agreed that the results of the introduction of new or modified products or the results of sales or marketing initiatives (including any increase in sales as a result thereof whether to new or existing customers) are reasonably foreseeable and shall not be considered a material development or change in circumstances) (such material development or change in circumstances, an “Intervening Event”) or (2) the Company Board determines in good faith after consultation with its outside counsel and the Financial Advisor or another nationally recognized independent financial advisor that the Company has received an Acquisition Proposal that constitutes a Superior Proposal, but in each case only at a time that is prior to the Specified Time and is after 11:59 pm, New York City time, on the fourth business day following the Parent’s receipt of written notice (an “Adverse Recommendation Notice”) advising the Parent that the Company Board desires to withdraw or modify the recommendation (and the manner and timing in which it intends to do so, and in the case of an Intervening Event, specifying the reasons therefor in reasonable detail) (such four business day period, the “Notice Period”); and

(B) the Company provides the Parent with a reasonable opportunity to make adjustments in the terms and conditions of this Agreement and negotiates in good faith with the Parent with respect thereto during the Notice Period, in each case as would enable the Company Board or committee thereof to conclude that (1) the Intervening Event is no longer a basis for any Company Adverse Recommendation Change or (2) the Acquisition Proposal that was determined to be a Superior Proposal is no longer a Superior Proposal.

Any material changes to the financial terms or any material change to other material terms of such Superior Proposal occurring prior to the Company Board’s effecting a Company Adverse Recommendation Change pursuant to this Section 6.1(b) shall require the Company to provide to the Parent a new Adverse Recommendation Notice and a new Notice Period and to comply with the requirements of this Section 6.1(b) with respect to each such Adverse Recommendation Notice, except that the references to the “fourth business day” shall be deemed to be to the “second business day.” Any Company Adverse Recommendation Change shall not change the approval of this Agreement or any other approval of the Company Board, including in any respect that would have the effect of causing any state (including Rhode Island) corporate takeover statute or other similar statute to be applicable to the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, including the Merger. Nothing in this Section 6.1 (but subject to the provisions of Section 8.1(d)(ii), if applicable) shall be deemed to (A) permit the Company to take any action described in clauses (ii) or (iii) of the first sentence of this Section 6.1(b) or (B) limit the Company’s obligation to call, give notice of, convene and hold the Company Meeting, regardless of whether the Company Board has withdrawn or modified its recommendation of this Agreement and the Merger.

- 44 -

(c) The Company shall promptly advise the Parent orally, with written confirmation to follow within 48 hours, of any Acquisition Proposal or any request for nonpublic information in connection with any Acquisition Proposal, or any inquiry with respect to or that could reasonably be expected to lead to any Acquisition Proposal, the material terms and conditions of any such Acquisition Proposal or inquiry and the identity of the person making any such Acquisition Proposal or inquiry. The Company shall (i) keep the Parent reasonably informed, on a prompt basis, of the status and details (including any change to the terms) of any such Acquisition Proposal or inquiry and (ii) provide to the Parent as soon as practicable (and in any event within 48 hours) after receipt or delivery thereof copies of all material correspondence and other material written material sent or provided to the Company or its Representatives, including those provided by electronic mail, from any third party in connection with any Acquisition Proposal or sent or provided by the Company or its Representatives to any third party in connection with any Acquisition Proposal. Contemporaneously with providing any information to a third party in connection with any such Acquisition Proposal or inquiry, the Company shall furnish a copy of such information to the Parent.

(d) Nothing in this Agreement shall restrict the Company from issuing a “stop, look and listen” communication pursuant to Rule 14d-9(f) under the Exchange Act or taking or disclosing a position contemplated by Rules 14d-9 or 14e-2(a) under the Exchange Act, or otherwise making disclosure to comply with applicable Law; provided, that any such disclosure that constitutes a Company Adverse Recommendation Change shall be subject to Section 6.1(b). For the avoidance of doubt, a factually accurate public statement that describes the receipt of an Acquisition Proposal and the operation of this Agreement with respect thereto (without including such a reaffirmation of the recommendation of the Company Board of this Agreement) shall not be deemed a Company Adverse Recommendation Change.

(e) The Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiary and its and their Representatives to, cease immediately all communications, discussions and negotiations regarding any proposal that constitutes, or may reasonably be expected to lead to, an Acquisition Proposal.

(f) Except as set forth in Section 6.1(a)(i)(C), the Company agrees to enforce or cause to be enforced each confidentiality, “standstill” or similar agreement to which the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company is a party at the request of the Parent, including by seeking specific performance of, or injunctive or other equitable relief under, any such agreements, provided that any expenses incurred by the Company in connection with such enforcement shall reduce the Target Cash Amounts.

- 45 -

As promptly as reasonably practicable after the execution of this Agreement, and not later than 30 calendar days after the date hereof, the Company, in cooperation with the Parent, shall prepare and file with the SEC the Proxy Statement. The Company shall respond to any comments of the SEC or its staff as promptly as practicable and shall cause the Proxy Statement to be mailed to its shareholders on or prior to the fifth business day after the resolution of any such comments or, if the SEC staff informs the Company that it does not intend to review the Proxy Statement, on or prior to the fifth business day following such tenth calendar day. The Company shall notify the Parent promptly upon the receipt of any comments from the SEC or its staff or any other government officials and of any request by the SEC or its staff or any other government officials for amendments or supplements to the Proxy Statement and shall supply the Parent with copies of all correspondence between the Company or any of its representatives, on the one hand, and the SEC or its staff or any other government officials, on the other hand, with respect to the Proxy Statement. The Company shall use reasonable best efforts to cause all documents that it is responsible for filing with the SEC or other regulatory authorities under this Section 6.2 to comply in all material respects with all applicable requirements of Law (it being understood that the Company shall not be responsible for any information furnished solely by the Parent or any of its Affiliates for use in any such documents). Notwithstanding the foregoing, prior to filing or mailing the Proxy Statement (or any amendment or supplement thereto) or responding to any comments of the SEC with respect thereto, the Company (i) shall provide the Parent a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such document or response and (ii) shall consider in good faith all comments reasonably proposed by the Parent. Whenever any event occurs which is required to be set forth in an amendment or supplement to the Proxy Statement, the Parent or the Company, as the case may be, shall promptly inform the other of such occurrence and cooperate in filing with the SEC or its staff or any other government officials, and/or mailing to shareholders of the Company, such amendment or supplement. The Parent shall cooperate with the Company and promptly provide the Company with any information it reasonably requests so that the Company may fulfill its obligations under this Section 6.2.

Unless it is required by Law, the Parent will hold any such information that is nonpublic in confidence in accordance with the Confidentiality Agreement. The Company shall use reasonable best efforts to secure for the Company access to and copies of the workpapers of its independent public accountants. No information or knowledge obtained in any investigation pursuant to this Section 6.4 or otherwise shall affect or be deemed to modify any representation or warranty contained in the Agreement or the conditions to the obligations of the parties to consummate the Merger. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be obligated to provide such access or information if the Company determines, in its reasonable judgment, that doing so would (a) violate applicable Law or a contract or obligation of confidentiality owing to a third-party, (b) jeopardize the protection of an attorney-client privilege, (c) expose the Company to risk of liability for disclosure of sensitive or personal information, or (d) require invasive environmental sampling (it being understood, in case of clauses (a), (b) and (c), that the parties shall use their reasonable best efforts to cause such access or information to be provided in a manner that would not result in such jeopardy, violation or exposure).

6.5 Shareholders Meeting. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and unless this Agreement has been terminated in accordance with Article VIII, the Company, acting through the Company Board, shall take all actions in accordance with applicable Law, its Articles of Incorporation and By-laws and the rules of The Nasdaq Stock Market to promptly and duly fix a record date for, call, give notice of, convene and hold as promptly as reasonably practicable after the date of this Agreement, and not later than the 40th calendar day immediately following the date of the mailing of the Proxy Statement absent any legal restraint that prevents such action, the Company Meeting for the purpose of considering and voting upon the Company Voting Proposal. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and subject to Section 6.1, the Company agrees that its obligations pursuant to this Section 6.5 shall not be affected by the commencement, public proposal, public disclosure or communication to the Company or any other person of any Acquisition Proposal. Subject to Section 6.1, the Company Board shall recommend adoption of the Company Voting Proposal by the shareholders of the Company and include such recommendation in the Proxy Statement. Except to the extent the Company Board has effected a Company Adverse Recommendation Change, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to solicit from its shareholders proxies in favor of the Company Voting Proposal and shall use reasonable best efforts to secure the vote of the shareholders of the Company required by the rules of The Nasdaq Stock Market or the RIBCA to obtain such approvals. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Company, after consulting with the Parent and considering in good faith Parent’s recommendation, may, adjourn or postpone the Company Meeting to the extent necessary to ensure that any required supplement or amendment to the Proxy Statement is provided to the Company’s shareholders (or that the information set forth therein is publicly available for a reasonable period of time so as to allow shareholders to become aware of such information) or, if as of the time for which the Company Meeting is originally scheduled (as set forth in the Proxy Statement), there are insufficient affirmative votes to duly authorize the Company Voting Proposal. If as of the time for which the Company Meeting is originally scheduled (as set forth in the Proxy Statement), there are insufficient affirmative votes to duly authorize the Company Voting Proposal, the Company shall, if requested to do so in writing by the Parent, adjourn or postpone the Company Meeting for up to 30 days.

The Company and the Parent shall cooperate with each other in connection with the making of all such filings (including, in the case of filings, providing copies of all such documentation to the non-filing party and its advisors prior to filing and considering all reasonable additions, deletions or changes suggested in connection therewith), and shall use their respective reasonable best efforts to furnish to each other all information that may be reasonably required to effectuate the taking of such actions (including all information required to be included in the Proxy Statement) in connection with the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the Parent and the Company agree that nothing contained in this Section 6.6(a) shall modify or affect their respective rights and responsibilities under Section 6.6(b).

(b) Subject to the terms hereof, the Parent and the Company agree, and shall cause each of their respective Subsidiaries, to cooperate and to use their respective reasonable best efforts to obtain any government clearances or approvals required for Closing under the HSR Act, the Xxxxxxx Antitrust Act, as amended, the Xxxxxxx Act, as amended, the Federal Trade Commission Act, as amended, and any other federal, state or foreign law or, regulation or decree designed to prohibit, restrict or regulate actions for the purpose or effect of monopolization or restraint of trade (collectively “Antitrust Laws”), and to respond to any government requests for information under any Antitrust Law, and to contest and resist any action, including any legislative, administrative or judicial action, and to have vacated, lifted, reversed or overturned any decree, judgment, injunction or other order (whether temporary, preliminary or permanent) that restricts, prevents or prohibits the consummation of the Merger or any other transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The parties hereto will consult and cooperate with one another, and consider in good faith the views of one another, in connection with any filings, analyses, appearances, presentations, memoranda, briefs, arguments, opinions and proposals made or submitted by or on behalf of any party hereto in connection with proceedings under or relating to any Antitrust Law. The Parent, in consultation with the Company, shall take the lead in communicating with any Governmental Entity and developing and executing strategy for responding to any investigation or other inquiry by any Governmental Entity under the HSR Act or other applicable Antitrust Law. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, except as prohibited by Applicable Law, each of the Parent and the Company shall keep the other party and/or its counsel informed of any substantive communication received by such party from, or given by such party to any Governmental Entity, in each case regarding any of the transactions contemplated hereby; and permit the other party and/or its counsel to review any substantive communication given by it to, and consult with each other in advance of any meeting or conference with any such Governmental Entity, and (to the extent permitted by such Governmental Entity) give the other party and/or its counsel the opportunity to attend and participate in such meetings and conferences. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, neither the Parent nor any of its Affiliates shall be under any obligation to take any action that would be likely to adversely affect the business of the Company and its Subsidiary, taken as a whole, or of the Parent or any of its Affiliates.

- 49 -

(c) The Company shall confer with the Parent as reasonably requested by the Parent concerning operational matters (to the extent permitted by applicable Law) and promptly advise the Parent orally and in writing of any change or event having, or which, insofar as reasonably can be foreseen, could have, individually or in the aggregate, a Company Material Adverse Effect. Each party shall promptly provide to the other (or its counsel) copies of all filings made by such party with any Governmental Entity in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.

(d) Neither the Company nor any of its Affiliates shall make any settlement offers or, except as directed by the Parent, negotiate any consent decree or consent order with any Governmental Entity relating to the Merger or any of the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Parent alone shall be responsible for making any settlement offers and negotiating any consent decree or consent order with any Governmental Entity relating to the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Parent shall promptly communicate to the Company if any Governmental Entity suggests or proffers any settlement, consent decree or consent order, including the material terms thereof (and any written documentation provided by such Governmental Entity reflecting the same). The Parent may accept or reject any settlement, consent decree or consent order proposed by any Governmental Entity in its sole discretion which would be likely to adversely affect the business of the Company and its Subsidiary, taken as a whole, or of the Parent or any of its Affiliates.

(e) Without limiting the generality of Section 6.2(a), if any “fair price” or “control share acquisition” or “anti-takeover” statute, or other similar statute or regulation or any state “blue sky” statute shall become applicable to the Merger or any of the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement or by the Company Shareholder Agreement, the Company and the Company Board shall grant such approvals and take such actions as are reasonably necessary so that the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby may be consummated as promptly as practicable on the terms contemplated hereby and thereby, and otherwise act to minimize the effects of such statute or regulation on the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.

(f) Each of the Company and the Parent shall give (or shall cause their respective Subsidiaries to give) any notices to third parties, and use, and cause their respective Subsidiaries to use, their reasonable best efforts to obtain any third party consents related to or required in connection with the Merger that are (i) necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) disclosed or required to be disclosed in the Company Disclosure Schedule or (iii) required to prevent the occurrence of an event that may have a Company Material Adverse Effect prior to or after the Effective Time; provided, however, that nothing in this Agreement will require the Company or its Subsidiary to make any material payments to any third parties or make any other material changes to the Company or its Subsidiary’s arrangements or obligations in order for the Company to obtain such third party consents. Any such payment or change shall require the Parent’s written consent and shall be conditioned on the consummation of the Merger, and any such payments shall be deemed to reduce the Target Cash Amount.

- 50 -

(b) The Parent shall give prompt notice to the Company of any Change which occurs or exists that would cause the failure of the conditions set forth in Section 7.3(a) or 7.3(b); provided, however, that (i) no such notification shall be deemed to cure any breach or otherwise affect the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements of the Parent or the Merger Sub or the conditions to the obligations of the parties hereunder and (ii) no disclosure by the Parent shall constitute an exception to any representation or warranty.

- 51 -

6.8 Public Disclosure. The initial press release announcing the execution of this Agreement shall be issued only in such form as shall be mutually agreed upon by the Company and the Parent. Neither party shall issue any other press release or public statement concerning this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, including the Merger, without the prior approval of the other parties (except with respect to a Superior Proposal or Company Adverse Recommendation Change or any action taken pursuant thereto, or with respect to any dispute among the parties regarding this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, including the Merger) (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), except as may be required by law, court process or by obligations pursuant to any listing agreement with any national securities exchange.

6.9 Indemnification.

(a) From and after the Effective Time, the Parent and the Merger Sub shall, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, cause the Surviving Corporation, for a period of ten years from the Effective Time, to honor all of the Company’s obligations under the organizational documents of the Company and its Subsidiary and the agreements listed in Section 6.9 of the Company Disclosure Schedule to indemnify and hold harmless each present and former director and officer of the Company (the “Indemnified Parties”), against any costs or expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages, liabilities or amounts paid in settlement incurred in connection with any Legal Action, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, arising out of or pertaining to matters existing or occurring at or prior to the Effective Time, whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the Effective Time, to the extent that such obligations to indemnify and hold harmless exist on the date of this Agreement. The Surviving Corporation will not be liable for any settlement effected without the Surviving Corporation’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 6.9 or elsewhere in this Agreement, Parent shall not (and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation not to) settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment or otherwise seek termination with respect to any claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, unless such settlement, compromise, consent or termination includes an unconditional release of all of the Indemnified Parties covered by the claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation. For the avoidance of doubt, the Parent’s obligations under this Section 6.9 shall include the obligation to honor (or cause another of its Affiliates to honor) the Company’s indemnification and other obligations referenced in this Section 6.9 in circumstances where the Surviving Corporation fails to honor, or is incapable of honoring, such obligations. The obligations of the Parent and Merger Sub pursuant to this Section 6.9 shall include the advancement of expenses to the extent so provided in the organizational documents of the Company and its Subsidiary and/or in the agreements as set forth in Section 6.9 of the Company Disclosure Schedule. For a period of ten years after the Effective Time, the Parent shall not cause there to be any changes to the provisions of the Surviving Corporation’s organizational documents affecting the indemnification and other obligations covered by this Section 6.9.

- 52 -

(b) For a period of six years after the Effective Time, the Parent and the Merger Sub shall cause the Surviving Corporation to maintain (to the extent available in the market) in effect a directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy covering those persons who are currently covered by the Company’s directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy (a complete and accurate copy of which has been made available to the Parent prior to the date of this Agreement) with coverage in amount and scope at least as favorable to such persons as the Company’s existing coverage; provided, that in no event shall the Parent or the Surviving Corporation be required to expend in excess of 200% per year of the annual premium currently paid by the Company for such coverage. At its sole discretion, the Company may purchase prior to the Effective Time a six-year prepaid “tail policy” on terms and conditions providing substantially equivalent benefits as the current directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy covering those persons who are currently covered by the Company’s directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy, in which case the Parent and the Merger Sub shall be relieved of their obligations pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, provided that the premium for any such “tail” policy shall not be in excess of 200% of the last annual premium paid by the Company prior to the date of this Agreement in respect of the coverages required to be obtained pursuant hereto. If such “tail” policy has been obtained by the Company prior to the Effective Time, it shall be deemed to satisfy all obligations to obtain insurance pursuant to this Section 6.9 and the Parent shall cause such policy to be maintained in full force and effect, for its full term, and cause all obligations thereunder to be honored by the Surviving Corporation, and no party shall have any further obligation to purchase or pay for insurance hereunder. The Company represents and warrants that the annual premium currently paid by the Company for directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage is as set forth in Section 6.9(b) of the Company Disclosure Schedule.

(c) The provisions of this Section 6.9 are intended to be in addition to the rights otherwise available to the current officers and directors of the Company by Law, charter, statute, by-law or agreement, and shall operate for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each of the Indemnified Parties, their heirs and their representatives.

(d) In the event that the Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective successors or assigns (i) consolidates 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, if the Parent and the Surviving Corporation’s successors and assigns do not assume all of the obligations set forth in this Section 6.9 by operation of Law, then proper provision shall be made such that such successors and assigns assume such obligations. 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.

6.10 Employee Benefit Matters.

(a) For all purposes (including purposes of vesting, eligibility to participate and level of benefits) under the employee benefit plans of the Parent and its Subsidiaries providing benefits after the Effective Time (the “New Plans”) to any employees of the Company and its Subsidiary as of the Effective Time to the extent such employees remain employed by the Surviving Corporation (“Company Employees”), each Company Employee shall, subject to applicable law and applicable Tax qualification requirements, be credited with his or her years of service with the Company and its Subsidiary and their respective predecessors before the Effective Time, to the same extent as such Company Employee was entitled, before the Effective Time, to credit for such service under any similar Company Employee Plan in which such Company Employee participated or was eligible to participate immediately prior to the Effective Time; provided, that the foregoing shall not apply (i) to the extent that its application would result in a duplication of benefits, (ii) for purposes of any New Plan under which similarly-situated employees of the Parent and its Subsidiaries do not receive credit for prior service, and (iii) for purposes of any New Plan that is grandfathered or frozen, either with respect to level of benefits or participation. In addition, but subject to the proviso of the preceding sentence, (A) each Company Employee shall be immediately eligible to participate, without any waiting time, in any and all New Plans to the extent coverage under such New Plan is comparable to the Company Employee Plan in which such Company Employee participated immediately prior to the Effective Time (such plans, collectively, the “Old Plans”), and (B) for purposes of each New Plan providing primarily medical, dental, pharmaceutical or vision benefits to any Company Employee (each, a “New Medical Plan”), the Parent shall use its commercially reasonable best efforts to cause all pre-existing condition exclusions and actively-at-work requirements of such New Plan to be waived for such Company Employee and his or her covered dependents, unless such conditions would not have been waived under an Old Plan of the Company or its Subsidiary in which such Company Employee participated immediately prior to the Effective Time. The continued participation and coverage following the Effective Time under the Company Employee Plans shall be deemed to satisfy the obligations under Section 6.10(a) for the time period of such continued participation and coverage, it being understood that the Company Employees may commence participating in the employee benefit plans of the Parent on different dates following the Effective Time.

(b) Immediately prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall make the payments described and quantified in Section 6.10(b) of the Company Disclosure Schedule to the individuals identified therein in exchange for documentation from each such individual in the form set forth in Section 6.10(b) of the Company Disclosure Schedule.

(c) For a period of twelve months after the Closing Date, Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiary to, provide each Company Employee, while in the employ of Parent or the Surviving Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries, salary, wages, target annual cash bonus opportunities and medical and other welfare benefit plans, programs and arrangements (excluding change in control or retention cash bonuses, if any) that are substantially comparable, in the aggregate, to the salary, wages, target annual cash bonus opportunities and medical and other welfare benefit plans, programs and arrangements (excluding change in control or retention cash bonuses, if any) provided to Company Employees prior to the Closing Date, provided that for purposes of this covenant, stock options, restricted stock and other equity-based awards, profit sharing, deferred compensation, retiree medical and defined benefit pension plans shall be disregarded.

- 54 -

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.10, the provisions of Sections 6.10(a), 6.10(b) and 6.10(c) shall apply only with respect to Company Employees who are primarily employed in the United States. With respect to Company Employees not described in the preceding sentence, from and after the Effective Time, Parent shall, or shall cause the Company and its Subsidiary to, comply with all applicable laws relating to employees and employee benefits matters applicable to such employees.

(e) Without limiting the generality of Section 9.4, the provisions of this Section 6.10 and of Section 6.11 are solely for the benefit of the parties to this Agreement, and no current or former director, officer, employee or any other individual associated therewith shall be regarded for any purpose as a third party beneficiary of this Agreement. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall (i) constitute or be deemed to be an amendment to any Company Employee Plan or any other compensation or benefit plan, program or arrangement of the Company or its Subsidiary for any purpose, (ii) guarantee employment for any period of time, or preclude the ability of Parent or the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiary to terminate any employee of the Company or its Subsidiary for any reason, (iii) require Parent or the Company or any of their respective Subsidiaries to continue any Company Employee Plan, or provide any employee benefits plans or arrangements, or (iv) prevent the amendment, modification or termination of any employee benefit plan or arrangement, in accordance with the terms thereof and applicable law.

6.11 Treatment of Company Stock Options, Company Restricted Stock Awards and Company Stock Plans.

(a) Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall take all steps necessary to cause all Company Stock Options, whether vested or unvested, that are outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time to become fully vested and each such Company Stock Option to be cancelled, as of the Effective Time, in exchange for the right to receive an amount in cash (without interest and less any applicable Tax withholding in accordance with Section 2.2(g) with respect to such payment) determined by multiplying (i) the excess, if any, of the Merger Consideration over the applicable exercise price per share of such Company Stock Option by (ii) the number of Company Common Shares subject to such Company Stock Option (the “Option Consideration”). In the event that the exercise price of any Company Stock Option is equal to or greater than the Merger Consideration, the Company shall take such action as is required to cause such Company Stock Option to be cancelled for no consideration and to have no further force or effect from and after the Effective Time. At least ten business days prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall provide the Parent and the Merger Sub with a schedule including the names of holders of Company Stock Options and the amount of Option Consideration to be paid to each such holder in respect of such Company Stock Options pursuant to this Section 6.11(a), which schedule shall be updated by the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time. Payment of the Option Consideration shall be made following the Effective Time in accordance with the Company’s payroll practices and, to the extent practicable, as part of the payment made in respect of the first full payroll period ending after the Effective Date, but in no event later than 30 days from the Effective Date.

- 55 -

(b) Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall take all steps necessary to cause all Company Restricted Stock Awards, whether vested or unvested, that are outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time to become fully vested and each such Company Restricted Stock Award to be cancelled, as of the Effective Time, in exchange for the right to receive an amount in cash (without interest and less any applicable Tax withholding in accordance with Section 2.2(g) with respect to such payment) determined by multiplying (i) the aggregate number of Company Common Shares subject to such Company Restricted Stock Award by (ii) the Merger Consideration (the “Restricted Stock Consideration”). At least ten business days prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall provide the Parent and the Merger Sub with a schedule including the names of holders of Company Restricted Stock Awards and the amount of Restricted Stock Consideration to be paid to each such holder in respect of such Company Restricted Stock Awards pursuant to this Section 6.11(b), which schedule shall be updated by the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time. Payment of the Restricted Stock Consideration shall be made following the Effective Time in accordance with Article II, provided, that any Restricted Stock Consideration payable in respect of Company Restricted Stock Awards for which an election under Section 83(b) of the Code was not made shall be distributed through the Company’s payroll process.

(c) Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall take such actions as are necessary to terminate each of its Company Stock Plans, including as described in this Section 6.11, all awards thereunder, effective as of the Effective Time.

6.12 Shareholder Litigation. Until the earlier of the termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms or the Effective Time, the Company shall give the Parent the opportunity to participate in the defense or settlement of any shareholder litigation against the Company or the Company Board relating to the Merger or any of the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and shall not settle any such litigation without the Parent’s prior written consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed in the event any injunction has issued as the result of any such litigation.

6.13 Cooperation on Tax Matters.

(a) Prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall retain all books, records, working papers (including any documentation relating to FIN48) with respect to Tax matters pertinent to the Company, its Subsidiary and the CAD Subsidiaries relating to any taxable periods (or portion thereof) ending on or before the Closing Date.

(c) The Company shall deliver to the Parent a properly executed statement, dated as of the Closing Date, in a form reasonably acceptable to Parent, conforming to the requirements of Treasury Regulations Section 1.1445-2(c)(3), and Parent shall timely file the FIRPTA Certificate in accordance with the requirements of Treasury Regulations Section 1.897-2(h)(2).

Any party to this Agreement may change the address to which notices and other communications hereunder are to be delivered by giving the other parties to this Agreement notice in the manner set forth in this Section 9.2.

9.3 Entire Agreement. This Agreement (including the Schedules and Exhibits hereto) constitutes the entire agreement among the parties hereto and supersedes any prior understandings, agreements or representations by or among the parties hereto, or any of them, written or oral, with respect to the subject matter hereof; provided that the Confidentiality Agreement shall remain in effect in accordance with its terms.

9.4 No Third Party Beneficiaries. Other than the provisions of Section 6.9, this Agreement is not intended, and shall not be deemed, to confer any rights or remedies upon any other person other than the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns, to create any agreement of employment with any person or to otherwise create any third-party beneficiary hereto.

9.5 Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations under this Agreement may be assigned or delegated, in whole or in part, by operation of law or otherwise by any of the parties hereto without the prior written consent of the other parties, and any such assignment without such prior written consent shall be null and void, except that the Parent and/or the Merger Sub may assign this Agreement to any direct or indirect wholly owned Subsidiary of the Parent without the consent of the Company, provided that the Parent and/or the Merger Sub, as the case may be, shall remain liable for all of its obligations under this Agreement. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement shall be binding upon, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

9.6 Severability. Any term or provision of this Agreement that is invalid or unenforceable in any situation in any jurisdiction shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions hereof or the validity or enforceability of the offending term or provision in any other situation or in any other jurisdiction. If the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction declares that any term or provision hereof is invalid or unenforceable, the parties hereto agree that the court making such determination shall have the power to limit the term or provision, to delete specific words or phrases, or to replace any invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, and this Agreement shall be enforceable as so modified. In the event such court does not exercise the power granted to it in the prior sentence, the parties hereto agree to replace such invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a valid and enforceable term or provision that will achieve, to the extent possible, the economic, business and other purposes of such invalid or unenforceable term.

9.7 Counterparts and Signature. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which together shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each of the parties hereto and delivered to the other parties, it being understood that all parties need not sign the same counterpart. This Agreement may be executed and delivered by facsimile or “PDF” transmission.

9.8 Interpretation. When reference is made in this Agreement to an Article or a Section, such reference shall be to an Article or a Section of this Agreement unless otherwise indicated. The table of contents, table of defined terms and headings contained in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

Whenever the context may require, any pronouns used in this Agreement shall include the corresponding masculine, feminine or neuter forms, and the singular form of nouns and pronouns shall include the plural, and vice versa. Any reference to any federal, state, local or foreign statute or law shall be deemed also to refer to all rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, unless the context requires otherwise. Whenever the words “include”, “includes” or “including” are used in this Agreement, they shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation.” Where this Agreement refers to information that was “made available”, that means that such information was either (i) provided directly to the Parent or its outside counsel or (ii) included in the Xxxxxxx Corporation DataSite: “Project GWH,” in each case no later than 12:01 a.m., Eastern Time, on the date of this Agreement. As used in this Agreement, the term “person” means any individual, corporation, partnership, joint venture, association, trust, limited liability company, unincorporated organization or other entity. As used in this Agreement, references to any “agreement” to which a person is bound means any contract, agreement, instrument, obligation, undertaking, lease, license, arrangement, commitment or understanding, whether written or oral, in each case that is or purports to be legally binding on such person and as it may be amended or otherwise modified from time to time.

9.9 Governing Law. Except to the extent that the internal laws of the State of Rhode Island apply in respect of the procedural aspects of the Merger that are set forth in Article II of this Agreement, this Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of New York or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of laws of any jurisdictions other than those of the State of New York, other than Section 5-1401 of the New York General Obligation Law.

9.10 Remedies. Except as otherwise provided herein, any and all remedies herein expressly conferred upon a party will be deemed cumulative with and not exclusive of any other remedy conferred hereby, or by law or equity upon such party, and the exercise by a party of any one remedy will not preclude the exercise of any other remedy. The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. Accordingly, the parties hereto shall be entitled to seek an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity.

9.11 Submission to Jurisdiction. Each of the parties hereto (a) consents to submit itself to the exclusive personal jurisdiction of any state or federal court sitting in the Borough of Manhattan, City of New York, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the Merger or any of the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (b) agrees that all claims in respect of such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in any such court, (c) agrees that it will not attempt to deny or defeat such personal jurisdiction by motion or other request for leave from any such court, and (d) agrees not to bring any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the Merger or any of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement in any other court. Each of the parties hereto waives any defense of inconvenient forum to the maintenance of any action or proceeding so brought and waives any bond, surety or other security that might be required of any other party with respect thereto. Any party hereto may make service on another party by sending or delivering a copy of the process to the party to be served at the address and in the manner provided for the giving of notices in Section 9.2. Nothing in this Section 9.11, however, shall affect the right of any party to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by law.
