The amount of cash each Company Stockholder is entitled to receive for the shares of Company Common Stock held by such Company Stockholder shall be rounded to the nearest cent and computed after aggregating cash amounts for all shares of Company Common Stock held by such Company Stockholder.

(ii) Company Options. Acquiror shall not assume any Company Options and each Company Option, whether vested or unvested, that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall immediately vest as to 100% of the shares subject to such Company Option, by virtue of the Merger and without the need for any further action on the part of the holder thereof, and, at the Effective Time, shall be cancelled and converted into and represent the right to receive an amount of cash, without interest, equal to the product of (A) the number of shares of Company Common Stock issuable upon exercise in full of such Company Option multiplied by (B) the Cash Amount Per Share, less the exercise price per share attributable to such Company Option; provided, however, that the Surviving Corporation and Acquiror shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from such payment made to the holder of a Company Option the amount of withholding for Taxes required to be deducted and withheld as a

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any such holder shall fail to perfect or otherwise shall waive, withdraw or lose the right to appraisal under Section 262 or a court of competent jurisdiction shall determine that such holder is not entitled to the relief provided by Section 262, then the right of such holder to be paid the fair value of such holder’s Appraisal Shares under Section 262 shall cease and such Appraisal Shares shall be deemed to have been converted at the Effective Time into, and shall have become, the right to receive cash as provided in Section 2.1(b).

(c) Purchase Price Adjustment. In the event that the Closing Cash, as reflected in the Closing Cash Balance Sheet, or if audited pursuant to Section 8.3(e)(ii), as reflected in the Audited Closing Cash Amount, is less than the Closing Cash Target, the Cash Amount Per Share shall be reduced by an amount equal to the quotient of (A) the difference between (i) the Closing Cash Target, minus (ii) the Closing Cash, divided by (B) the number of Company Fully-Diluted Shares as of immediately prior to the Effective Time; provided, however, that for all purposes hereof, the Cash Amount Per Share, as so adjusted, shall be rounded down to the nearest 1/10 (one-tenth) of a cent; provided, further, that the difference between the Closing Cash Target and the Closing Cash, as calculated pursuant to clause (A) of this Section 2.1(c) shall under no circumstances exceed $13,000,000.00.

ARTICLE 5

COMPANY COVENANTS

During the time period from the Agreement Date until the earlier to occur of (a) the Effective Time or (b) the termination of this Agreement in accordance with the provisions of Article 9, the Company covenants and agrees with Acquiror as follows:

5.1 Preparation of SEC Documents; Company Stockholders’ Meeting.

(a) Proxy Statement. As soon as reasonably practicable following the Agreement Date, the Company shall prepare and file with the SEC the Proxy Statement. Acquiror will promptly provide the Company with any information with respect to Acquiror which is reasonably requested by the Company for inclusion in the Proxy Statement, or in any amendments or supplements thereto, and cause the counsel and auditors of Acquiror to cooperate with the Company’s counsel and auditors in the preparation and filing of the Proxy Statement. No filing of, or amendment or supplement to, the Proxy Statement will be made by the Company without Acquiror’s prior written consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and without providing Acquiror the reasonable opportunity to review and comment thereon. The Company will promptly advise Acquiror, of the time when the definitive form of the Proxy Statement has been filed with the SEC or any supplement or amendment has been filed, the issuance of any stop order, or any oral or written request by the SEC for amendment of the Proxy Statement or comments thereon and responses thereto or requests by the SEC for additional

information and will promptly provide Acquiror with copies of any written communication from the SEC or any state securities commission. The Company will respond in good faith to any comments of the SEC and will cause the Proxy Statement to be mailed to its stockholders as soon as reasonably practicable. If at any time prior to the Effective Time any event or information (including any Change of Recommendation) relating to the Company, or any of its Affiliates, executive officers or directors, should be discovered by Acquiror or the Company which should be set forth in an amendment or supplement to the Proxy Statement, so that such document would not include any misstatement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, the party which discovers such information shall promptly notify the other parties hereto and an appropriate amendment or supplement describing such information shall be promptly filed with the SEC and, to the extent required by law, disseminated to the stockholders the Company.

(b) Company Stockholders’ Meeting. The Company shall, as soon as reasonably practicable following the Agreement Date, take all action necessary in accordance with the Company Charter Documents, Applicable Law and the rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market to duly give notice of, convene and hold the Company Stockholders’ Meeting. Subject to Section 5.2, the Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to solicit from its stockholders proxies in favor of the adoption of this Agreement, and will take all other action necessary or advisable to secure the Company Stockholder Approval. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Company may adjourn or postpone the Company Stockholders’ Meeting to the extent necessary to ensure that any necessary supplement or amendment to the Proxy Statement is provided to its stockholders in advance of a vote on the adoption of this Agreement, or, if, as of the time for which the Company Stockholders’ Meeting is originally scheduled, there are insufficient shares of Company Common Stock represented (either in person or by proxy) to constitute a quorum necessary to conduct the business of such meeting. The Company shall ensure that the Company Stockholders’ Meeting is called, noticed, convened, held and conducted, and that all proxies solicited in connection with the Company Stockholders’ Meeting are solicited in compliance with the Company Charter Documents, Applicable Law and the rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market. Without the prior written consent of Acquiror, adoption of this Agreement (including adjournment of the Company Stockholders’ Meeting, if necessary, if a quorum is present, to solicit additional proxies if there are not sufficient votes in favor of adoption of this Agreement), is the only matter which the Company shall propose to be acted on by the Company Stockholders at the Company Stockholders’ Meeting.

(c) Board Recommendation. Except to the extent expressly permitted by Section 5.2, (i) the Company Board shall recommend that its stockholders vote in favor of the adoption of this Agreement at the Company Stockholders’ Meeting, (ii) the Proxy Statement shall include a statement to the effect that the Company Board has unanimously recommended that the Company Stockholders vote in favor of adoption of this Agreement at the Company Stockholders’ Meeting, and (iii) neither the Company Board nor any committee thereof shall withdraw, amend or modify, or propose or resolve to withdraw, amend or modify in a manner adverse to Acquiror, the recommendation of the Company Board that the Company Stockholders vote in favor of the adoption of this Agreement.

5.2 No Solicitation.

(a) Alternative Transaction. The Company and its directors and executive officers shall not, and the Company will cause its Subsidiaries not to, and the Company shall not authorize or knowingly permit any of its or its Subsidiaries officers, directors, employees, affiliates, attorneys, financial advisors or other agents or representatives (collectively, “Representatives”) to (i) directly or indirectly, solicit, initiate, encourage, knowingly induce, facilitate or support any inquiry, proposal or offer from, furnish any non-public information to, or participate in any discussions or negotiations, or enter into any agreement with, any party or group regarding any Alternative Transaction (except to disclose the existence of the provisions of this Section 5.2), (ii) approve, endorse or recommend any Alternative Transaction (except to the extent specifically permitted by Section 5.2(d)), or (iii) enter into any letter of intent or similar document or any contract, agreement or commitment (whether binding or not) contemplating or otherwise relating to any Alternative Transaction Proposal. The Company and its directors and executive officers will, the Company shall cause its Subsidiaries to, and the Company shall use reasonable efforts to cause its Representatives to, immediately cease any and all existing activities, discussions or negotiations with any third parties conducted heretofore with respect to any Alternative Transaction Proposal, and, upon Acquiror’s request, shall request the prompt return or destruction of all confidential information previously furnished to any Person with which the Company, its Subsidiaries or Representatives have engaged in any such activities within the 12-month period preceding the Agreement Date. The Company and its directors and executive officers will, the Company shall cause its Subsidiaries to, and the Company shall use reasonable efforts to cause its Representatives to, use commercially reasonable efforts to enforce (and will not waive any provisions of) any confidentiality or standstill agreement (or any similar agreement) which the Company of any of its Subsidiaries is a party relating to any such Alternative Transaction Proposal. Any breach of the foregoing provisions of this subsection by any of the Company’s Subsidiaries, directors or executive officers, or other Representatives that were authorized or knowingly permitted to take such actions in breach of the foregoing, shall be deemed to be a breach by the Company. The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to inform its Representatives of the restrictions contained in this Section 5.2.

(b) Notification. As promptly as practicable (and in any event within 24 hours) after receipt by the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or Representative of any Alternative Transaction Proposal or any request for nonpublic information or any expression of interest or inquiry relating in any way to any Alternative Transaction Proposal, the Company shall provide Acquiror with oral and written notice of the material terms and conditions of such Alternative Transaction Proposal, request, expression of interest or inquiry, and the identity of the Person or Group making any such Alternative Transaction Proposal, request, expression of interest or inquiry and a copy of all written materials provided to it in connection with such Alternative Transaction Proposal, request, expression of interest or inquiry. In addition, the Company shall provide Acquiror as promptly as possible with oral and written notice setting forth all such information as is reasonably necessary to keep Acquiror informed on a current basis in all material respects of the status and details (including substantive modifications or proposed substantive modifications) of, any such Alternative Transaction Proposal, request, expression of interest or inquiry, and, without limitation of the other provisions of this Section 5.2, shall promptly provide to Acquiror a copy of all written materials (including written materials provided by email or otherwise in electronic format) subsequently provided by or to it in connection with such Alternative Transaction Proposal, request, expression of interest or inquiry.

The Company shall provide Acquiror with 48 hours prior notice (or such lesser prior notice as is provided to the members of its Board of Directors but in no event less than 24 hours) of any meeting of the Company Board at which it is reasonably expected to consider any Alternative Transaction Proposal or Alternative Transaction, including to consider whether such Alternative Transaction Proposal is a Superior Proposal.

(c) Superior Proposal. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 5.2(a), in the event that prior to the time that Company Stockholder Approval has been obtained, the Company receives a bona fide written Alternative Transaction Proposal which is determined to be, or which the Company Board determines in good faith (after consultation with its outside legal counsel and its financial advisor) is reasonably likely to become, a Superior Proposal, the Company or the Company Board may then take the following actions, but only if (i) (A) the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that it is required to do so to comply with its fiduciary obligations to the Company Stockholders under Applicable Law, and (B) the Company has given Acquiror at least two business days prior written notice of its intention to take any of the following actions and of the identity of the Person or Group making such Alternative Transaction Proposal and the material terms and conditions of such Alternative Transaction Proposal, and (ii) the Alternative Transaction Proposal did not result or arise from any breach of this Section 5.2.

(i) Furnish nonpublic information to the Person or Group making such Alternative Transaction Proposal, provided that (A) the Company first shall have received from such Person an executed confidentiality agreement containing terms at least as restrictive with regard to Company’s confidential information as the Confidentiality Agreement, which confidentiality agreement shall not include any provision having the actual or purported effect of restricting the Company from fulfilling its obligations under this Agreement or the Confidentiality Agreement and (B) contemporaneously with furnishing any such nonpublic information to such Person or Group, it furnishes such nonpublic information to Acquiror (to the extent such nonpublic information has not been previously so furnished to Acquiror); and

(ii) Engage in discussions or negotiations with such Person or Group with respect to such Alternative Transaction Proposal.

(d) Changes of Recommendation Solely in response to the receipt of a bona fide written Alternative Transaction Proposal which is a Superior Proposal, the Company Board may make a Change of Recommendation, if all of the following conditions in clauses (i) through (vi) are met:

(i) the Superior Proposal has been made and has not been withdrawn and continues to be a Superior Proposal;

(ii) the Company Stockholder Approval has not yet been obtained;

(iii) the Company has (A) provided to Acquiror three business days’ prior written notice which shall state expressly (1) that it has received a Superior Proposal, (2) the material terms and conditions of the Superior Proposal and the identity of the Person or Group of Persons making the Superior Proposal, and (3) that it intends to effect a Change of

Recommendation and the manner in which it intends to do so, (B) provided to Acquiror all materials and information delivered or made available to the Person or Group making the Superior Proposal in connection with such Superior Proposal, and (C) during the aforementioned three business day period, if requested by Acquiror, engaged in good faith negotiations to amend this Agreement in such a manner that the Superior Proposal would no longer be a Superior Proposal;

(iv) Acquiror shall not have, within the aforementioned three business day period, made an offer that the Company Board has in good faith determined (after consultation with its outside legal counsel and its financial advisor) results in the Alternative Transaction Proposal that had been determined to be a Superior Proposal no longer being a Superior Proposal;

(v) the Company Board has determined in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that, in light of such Superior Proposal and the results of any negotiations with Acquiror as contemplated by subsection (iii) above and any offer from Acquiror contemplated by subsection (iv) above, that the failure of the Company Board to effect a Change of Recommendation would result in a breach of its fiduciary duties to the Company Stockholders under Applicable Law; and

(vi) the Superior Proposal did not result or arise from any breach of this Section 5.2.

In addition, and notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Section 5.2, at any time prior to the time the Company Stockholder Approval has been obtained, the Company Board may, in response to a material development or change in material circumstances occurring or arising after the date hereof, the existence and material consequences of which were neither known to the Company Board nor reasonably foreseeable as of or prior to the date hereof (and not relating to any Alternative Transaction Proposal) (such material development or change in circumstances, an “Intervening Event”), make a Change of Recommendation if the Company Board has in good faith determined, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that, in light of such Intervening Event, the failure of the Company Board to effect such a Change of Recommendation would result in a breach of its fiduciary duties to the Company Stockholders under Applicable Law; provided that, the Company Board shall not be entitled to exercise its right to make a Change of Recommendation pursuant to this sentence unless the Company has (x) provided to Acquiror at least three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice (unless the Intervening Event arises fewer than three (3) Business Days prior to the Company Stockholders’ Meeting) advising Acquiror that the Company Board intends to take such action and specifying the reasons therefor in reasonable detail and (y) during such three (3) Business Day period, if requested by Acquiror, engaged in good faith negotiations with Acquiror to amend this Agreement in such a manner that obviates the need for a Change of Recommendation as a result of the Intervening Event. Any Change of Recommendation shall not change the approval of this Agreement, the Voting Agreements or any other approval of the Company Board, including in any respect that would have the effect of causing any state (including Delaware) corporate takeover statute or other similar statute to be applicable to the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, including the Merger.

Nothing in this Section 5.2 shall be deemed prior to the termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms to affect any obligation of the Company under this Agreement or limit the Company’s obligation to call, give notice of, convene and hold the Company Stockholders’ Meeting, regardless of whether the Company Board has withdrawn or modified its recommendation of this Agreement and the Merger.

(e) Tender Offer Rules. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall prohibit the Company or the Company Board from taking and disclosing to its stockholders a position contemplated by Rules 14d-9 and 14e-2(a) promulgated under the Exchange Act; provided that the Company shall not effect, or disclose pursuant to such rules or otherwise a position which constitutes, a Change of Recommendation unless specifically permitted pursuant to the terms of Section 5.2(d).

(f) Required Disclosure. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to prohibit the Company from making any disclosure to the Company Stockholders if the Company Board has determined in good faith after consultation with its outside counsel, that failure to so disclose would result in a breach of its fiduciary duties to the Company Stockholders under Applicable Law.

5.3 Maintenance of Business.

6.1 Advice of Changes. Acquiror shall promptly advise the Company in writing of (a) any event occurring subsequent to the Agreement Date that would render any representation or warranty of Acquiror or Merger Sub contained in Article 4 untrue or inaccurate such that the condition set forth in Section 8.2(a) would not be satisfied and (b) any breach of any covenant or obligation of Acquiror or Merger Sub pursuant to this Agreement such that the condition set forth in Section 8.2(b) would not be satisfied; provided, however, that the delivery of any notice pursuant to this Section 6.1 shall not be deemed to (i) modify any representation or warranty contained herein or (ii) limit or otherwise affect the remedies available hereunder to the Company or the conditions to the Company’s obligation to consummate the Merger.

6.2 Reasonable Efforts.

(a) Governmental and Third Party Approvals. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, Acquiror agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, and to assist and cooperate with the other parties in doing, all things necessary, proper or advisable under Applicable Law to consummate and make effective, in the most expeditious manner practicable, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including (i) the obtaining of all necessary actions or non-actions, waivers, consents and approvals from Governmental Authorities and the making of all necessary registrations and filings and the taking of all reasonable steps as may be necessary to obtain an approval or waiver from, or to avoid an action or proceeding by, any Governmental Authority, including all required Antitrust Filings, if any, (ii) the obtaining of all necessary consents, approvals or waivers from third parties, and (iii) the execution and delivery of any additional instruments necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated by, and to fully carry out the purposes of, this Agreement.

(b) Notification. Acquiror shall keep the Company reasonably apprised of the status of matters relating to the completion of the transactions contemplated hereby and work cooperatively in connection with obtaining all required approvals or consents of any Governmental Authority (whether domestic, foreign or supranational). In that regard, Acquiror shall without limitation use its commercially reasonable efforts to (i) promptly notify the Company of, and if in writing, furnish the Company with copies of (or, in the case of material oral communications, advise the other orally of) any communications from or with any Governmental Authority (whether domestic, foreign or supranational) with respect to the Merger or any of the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (ii) permit the Company to

officers and employees and will direct its accountants, counsel, financial advisors and other representatives and Affiliates to hold and keep confidential, any nonpublic information in accordance with the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement, which Confidentiality Agreement will remain in full force and effect.

Acquiror also covenants and agrees with the Company as follows:

6.4 Indemnification of Company Directors and Officers.

(a) If the Merger is consummated, then until the sixth anniversary of the Effective Time, Acquiror shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, fulfill and honor in all respects the obligations of the Company to its present and former directors and officers (the “Company Indemnified Persons”) pursuant to any indemnification provisions under the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws as in effect on the Agreement Date and pursuant to any indemnification agreements between the Company and such Company Indemnified Parties existing as of the Agreement Date (the “Company Indemnification Provisions”), with respect to claims arising out of acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Effective Time. Subject to the Surviving Corporation and the Company Subsidiaries remaining in existence, for a period of six (6) years following the Effective Time, Acquiror shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries to, cause the certificate of incorporation and bylaws (and other similar organizational documents) of the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries to contain provisions with respect to indemnification and exculpation that are at least as favorable as the indemnification and exculpation provisions contained in the certificate of incorporation and bylaws (or other similar organizational documents) of the Company and its Subsidiaries as in effect on the Agreement Date. Any claims for indemnification made under this Section 6.4 on or prior to the sixth anniversary of the Effective Time shall survive such anniversary until the final resolution thereof. This Section 6.4 shall survive the consummation of the Merger, is intended to benefit each Company Indemnified Person, shall be binding on all successors and assigns of the Surviving Corporation and Acquiror, and shall be enforceable by the Company Indemnified Persons.

(b) For a period of six years from and after the Effective Time, Acquiror shall, and shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, maintain in effect, to the extent available, directors’ and officers’ liability insurance covering those persons who are currently covered by the Company’s directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy in an amount and on terms no less advantageous to those applicable to the current directors and officers of the Company; provided, however, Acquiror may fulfill its obligations under this Section 6.4(b) by purchasing a policy of directors’ and officers’ insurance or a “tail” policy under the Company’s existing directors’ and officers’ insurance policy, in either case which (i) has an effective term of six years from the Effective Time, (ii) covers only those persons who are covered by the Company’s directors’ and officers’ insurance policy in effect as of the Effective Time and only for actions and omissions occurring on or prior to the Effective Time, and (iii) contains terms and conditions (including, without limitation, coverage amounts) that are no less advantageous to those applicable to the current directors and officers of the Company, provided further, that in no event shall Acquiror or the Surviving Corporation be required to expend an annual premium for any such coverage in excess of 150% of the annual premium currently paid by the Company under its directors’ and officer’s liability insurance policy in effect as of the Agreement Date, and if the

cost for any such coverage is in excess of such amount, Acquiror or the Surviving Corporation shall only be required to maintain such coverage as is available for such amount. Prior to the Effective Time, in lieu of the foregoing and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, the Company may purchase a “tail” policy under the Company’s existing directors’ and officers’ insurance policy which: (i) has an effective term of six years from the Effective Time, (ii) covers only those persons who are covered by the Company’s directors’ and officers’ insurance policy in effect as of the Effective Time and only for actions and omissions occurring on or prior to the Effective Time, and (iii) contains terms and conditions (including, without limitation, coverage amounts) that are no less advantageous to those applicable to the current directors and officers of the Company. In the event that the Company shall purchase such a “tail” policy prior to the Effective Time, Acquiror shall, and shall cause the Surviving Corporation to maintain such “tail” policy in full force and effect and continue to honor their obligations thereunder, in lieu of all other obligations of Acquiror and Surviving Corporation under the first sentence of this Section 6.4(b), for so long as such “tail” policy shall be maintained in full force and effect.

6.5 Public Announcements. Acquiror will use commercially reasonable efforts to consult with the Company before issuing, and will provide the Company the opportunity to review, comment upon and concur with, and use commercially reasonable efforts to agree on, any press release or other public statements to be made by Acquiror with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the Merger, and shall not issue any such press release or make any such public statement prior to such consultation, except as Acquiror may determine is required by Applicable Law, court process or by obligations pursuant to any listing agreement with any national securities exchange or stock market. In addition, except to the extent disclosed in or consistent with the Proxy Statement in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.1 or prior communications consented to in accordance with this Section 6.6, Acquiror shall not issue any press release or otherwise make any public statement or disclosure concerning the Company or its business, financial condition or results of operations without the consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The initial press release to be issued with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be in the form agreed to by the parties.

ARTICLE 7

CLOSING MATTERS

7.1 The Closing. Subject to termination of this Agreement as provided in Article 9, the Closing shall take place at the offices of Fenwick & West LLP, Silicon Valley Center, 000 Xxxxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx Xxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx, on the Closing Date. Concurrently with the Closing or at such later date and time as may be mutually agreed in writing by the Company and Acquiror, the Certificate of Merger shall be filed with the Delaware Secretary of State in accordance with Delaware Law.

7.2 Exchange of Certificates.

(a) Exchange Fund. As soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time (and in any event within three (3) Business Days thereof), Acquiror (or its Subsidiaries, including the Surviving Corporation) shall make available to Deutsche Bank National Trust

Company (the “Exchange Agent”), or such other entity in substitution thereof that is reasonably satisfactory to the parties, for exchange in accordance with this Article 2, the cash issuable pursuant to Section 2.1(b), in exchange for outstanding Company Common Stock and Company Options and Company Restricted Stock Units (the “Exchange Fund”). In order that the Acquiror (or its Subsidiaries, including the Surviving Corporation) may fulfill its obligations contained in this Section 7.2(a), prior to the Closing the Company shall, at the request of Acquiror, use commercially reasonable efforts to prepare wire transfers from the Company or any Company Subsidiaries to the Exchange Agent or Acquiror (or its Subsidiaries), with such wires to occur on or after the Closing.

(b) Exchange Procedures. As soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time (and in any event within three (3) Business Days thereof), Acquiror shall instruct the Exchange Agent to mail (and shall make available for collection by hand) to each holder of record of certificates or instruments evidencing the Company Common Stock and Company Options and Company Restricted Stock Units that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (collectively, the “Certificates”) and which were converted into the right to receive cash pursuant to Section 2.1(b), (i) a letter of transmittal in customary form, that shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon proper delivery of the Certificates to the Exchange Agent (provided that Acquiror will provide the Company with a reasonable opportunity to review and comment thereon), and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates in exchange for cash, (which instructions shall provide that, at the election of the surrendering holder, Certificates may be surrendered, and a check in exchange therefor collected, by hand delivery). Upon surrender of Certificates for cancellation to the Exchange Agent together with such letter of transmittal, duly completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto, and such other documents as may reasonably be required by the Exchange Agent (including any required Form W-9 or Form W-8), the holders of such Certificates shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor a check or wire transfer (at the election of the holder thereof) in the amount of U.S. dollars that such holders have the right to receive pursuant to Section 2.1(b), and the Certificates so surrendered shall forthwith be canceled. Until so surrendered, outstanding Certificates will be deemed from and after the Effective Time, for all corporate purposes, to evidence only the right to receive upon surrender thereof a check or wire transfer (at the election of the holder thereof) in the amount of U.S. dollars that the holders thereof have the right to receive pursuant to Section 2.1(b). No interest will be paid or accrued on any cash payable to holders of Certificates. In the event of a transfer of ownership of shares of Company Common Stock that is not registered in the transfer records of the Company, a check or wire transfer (at the election of the transferee) in the amount of U.S. dollars that the holder thereof has the right to receive pursuant to Section 2.1(b) may be issued to a transferee if the Certificate representing such shares of Company Common Stock is presented to the Exchange Agent, accompanied by all documents required to evidence and effect such transfer and by evidence that any applicable stock transfer Taxes have been paid.

(c) Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. In the event that any Certificates shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, the Exchange Agent shall issue and pay in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificates, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the holder thereof, a check in the amount of U.S. dollars into which the Company Common Stock and Company Options and Company Restricted Stock Units represented by such Certificates

were converted pursuant to Section 2.1(b); provided, however, that Acquiror or the Exchange Agent may, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the issuance of such cash, require the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificates to deliver a bond in such sum as it may reasonably direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against Acquiror, the Surviving Corporation or the Exchange Agent with respect to the Certificates alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.

(d) Termination of Exchange Fund. Any portion of the Exchange Fund which remains undistributed to the former holders of Company Common Stock and Company Options and Company Restricted Stock Units for six (6) months after the Effective Time shall be delivered to Acquiror, upon demand, and any such holders of Company Common Stock and Company Options and Company Restricted Stock Units who have not theretofore complied with the provisions of this Section 7.2 shall thereafter look only to Acquiror for the cash to which they are entitled pursuant to Section 2.1(b).

(e) No Further Ownership Rights in Company Securities. All cash issued in accordance with the terms hereof with respect to Company Common Stock and Company Options and Company Restricted Stock Units shall be deemed to have been issued in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such Company Common Stock and Company Options and Company Restricted Stock Units, and there shall be no further registration of transfers on the records of the Surviving Corporation of Company Common Stock and Company Options and Company Restricted Stock Units that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, other than transfers to reflect, in accordance with settlement procedures, trades effected prior to the Effective Time. If after the Effective Time Certificates are presented to the Surviving Corporation for any reason, they shall be canceled and exchanged as provided in this Article 7.

(f) No Liability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 7.2, neither the Exchange Agent, Acquiror, the Company, the Surviving Corporation nor any party hereto shall be liable to a holder of Company Common Stock and Company Options and Company Restricted Stock Units for any amount properly paid to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar law.

9.2 Effect of Termination. In the event of termination of this Agreement as provided in Section 9.1 hereof and any payment of a Termination Fee, this Agreement shall forthwith become void and there shall be no liability on the part of any of the parties, except (a) as set forth in Sections 5.8 and 6.3 (Confidentiality), this Section 9.2 (Effect of Termination) and Section 9.3 (Payments), as well as Article 10 (Miscellaneous) (other than Section 10.1) to the extent applicable to such surviving sections, each of which shall survive termination of this Agreement, and (b) that nothing herein shall relieve any party from any further liability for any willful or intentional breach of any representation or warranty of such party contained herein or any breach of any covenant or agreement of such party contained herein. No termination of this Agreement shall affect the obligations of the parties contained in the Confidentiality Agreement, all of which obligations shall survive termination of this Agreement in accordance with their terms. Payments made pursuant to Section 9.3 (Payments) shall be in addition to any other rights, remedies and relief of the parties hereto or with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement.

9.3 Payments.

(a) Payments by the Company.

(i) Termination Fee.

(A) In the event that this Agreement is terminated by Acquiror pursuant to Section 9.1(e), the Company shall promptly, but in no event later than two business days after the date of such termination, pay Acquiror a fee equal to $3,475,198.00 (the “Termination Fee”).

(B) In the event that this Agreement is terminated by the Company pursuant to Section 9.1(g), the Company shall pay Acquiror the Termination Fee as provided in Section 9.1(g).

(C) In the event that this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 9.1(b)(iii) or Section 9.1(f), the Company shall pay Acquiror the Termination Fee if, following the Agreement Date and prior to such termination, any Person shall have made to the Company or its stockholders, or publicly announced, an Alternative Transaction Proposal with respect to the Company and within twelve (12) months following termination of this Agreement any Alternative Transaction with respect to the Company is consummated or the Company enters

into a Contract providing for any Alternative Transaction, in which case such fee payment is to be made concurrently with the closing of such Alternative Transaction (irrespective of whether such closing occurs before, or after the twelve month anniversary of the termination of this Agreement).

(ii) Acquiror Expenses. In the event that this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 9.1(b)(iii), the Company shall promptly, but in no event later than two days after the date of such termination, reimburse Acquiror for its Transaction Expenses, not to exceed $500,000.00. The amount of any Transaction Expenses reimbursed by the Company to Acquiror shall be credited against any subsequent payment required to be made by the Company to Acquiror of the Termination Fee pursuant to Section 9.3(a)(i) above.

(b) Interest and Costs. All payments under this Section 9.3 shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by Acquiror. The Company acknowledges that the agreements contained in this Section 9.3 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and that, without these agreements, Acquiror would not enter into this Agreement. Accordingly, if the Company fails to pay in a timely manner the amounts due pursuant to this Section 9.3 and, in order to obtain such payment, Acquiror makes a claim that results in a judgment against the Company, the Company shall pay to Acquiror its reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) in connection with such suit, together with interest on the amounts set forth in this Section 9.3 at the rate of interest per annum publicly announced by Bank of America as its prime rate, as in effect on the date such payment was required to be made. Payment of the fees described in this Section 9.3 shall not be in lieu of damages incurred in the event of breach of this Agreement, to the extent permitted by Section 9.2.

9.4 Amendment. Subject to compliance with Applicable Law, this Agreement may be amended by the parties at any time before or after the Company Stockholder Approval; provided, however, that after the occurrence of the Company Stockholder Approval there may not be, without further approval of the stockholders of the Company, any amendment of this Agreement that changes the amount or the form of the consideration to be delivered to the holders of Company Common Stock hereunder, or which by Applicable Law otherwise expressly requires the further approval of such stockholders. This Agreement may not be amended except by an instrument in writing signed on behalf of each of the parties hereto and duly approved by the parties’ respective Boards of Directors or a duly designated committee thereof.

9.5 Extension; Waiver. At any time prior to the Effective Time, a party may, subject to the proviso of Section 9.4 (and for this purpose treating any waiver referred to below as an amendment), (a) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the other parties hereto, (b) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties of the other parties contained in this Agreement or in any document delivered pursuant to this Agreement or (c) waive compliance by the other party hereto with any of the agreements or conditions contained in this Agreement. Any agreement on the part of a party to any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed on behalf of such party. Any extension or waiver given in compliance with this Section 9.5 or failure to insist

on strict compliance with an obligation, covenant, agreement or condition shall not operate as a waiver of, or estoppel with respect to, any subsequent or other failure.

The parties further agree to use their reasonable efforts to replace such void or unenforceable provision of this Agreement with a valid and enforceable provision that shall achieve, to the extent possible, the economic, business and other purposes of the void or unenforceable provision.
