ARTICLE IV

Effect of the Merger on Capital Stock;
Exchange of Certificates

4.1 Effect on Capital Stock. At the Effective Time, as a result of the Merger and without any action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or the holders of any capital stock of the Company:

(a) Merger Consideration. Each share of the common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company (a “Share” or, collectively, the “Shares”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time other than (i) Shares owned by Parent, Merger Sub or any other direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent, and Shares owned by the Company, and (ii) Shares that are owned by stockholders (“Dissenting Stockholders”) who have perfected and not withdrawn a demand for appraisal rights pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL (each, an “Excluded Share” and collectively, “Excluded Shares”) shall be converted into the right to receive $12.00 per Share (the “Per Share Merger Consideration”), subject to the provisions of Section 4.4 hereof. At the Effective Time, all of the Shares shall cease to be outstanding, shall be cancelled and shall cease to exist, and each certificate (a “Certificate”) formerly representing any of the Shares (other than Excluded Shares) shall thereafter represent only the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration, without interest, and each certificate formerly representing Shares owned by Dissenting Stockholders shall thereafter represent only the right to receive the payment to which reference is made in Section 4.2(f).

(b) Cancellation of Shares. Each Excluded Share shall, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, cease to be

outstanding, shall be cancelled without payment of any consideration therefor and shall cease to exist.

(c) Merger Sub. At the Effective Time, each share of common stock, par value $0.10 per share, of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into one share of common stock, par value $0.10 per share, of the Surviving Corporation.

4.2 Exchange of Certificates.

(a) Paying Agent. Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall select an independent paying agent approved by the Company (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) (the “Paying Agent”) for payment of the Per Share Merger Consideration. At or prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall deposit with the Paying Agent, for exchange in accordance with this Article IV, cash amounts in immediately available funds necessary for the Paying Agent to make the aggregate payments required pursuant to Section 4.1(a) (such cash being hereinafter referred to as the “Exchange Fund”). The Paying Agent agreement pursuant to which Parent shall appoint the Paying Agent shall be in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Company. The Exchange Fund shall not be used for any purpose that is not provided for in such Paying Agent agreement.

(b) Exchange Procedures. Promptly after the Effective Time (and in any event within five business days), the Surviving Corporation shall cause the Paying Agent to mail to each holder of record of Shares (other than holders of Excluded Shares) (i) a letter of transmittal in customary form specifying that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of the Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu thereof as provided in Section 4.2(e) to the Paying Agent, such letter of transmittal to be in such form and have such other provisions as Parent and the Company may reasonably agree, and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu thereof as provided in Section 4.2(e)) in exchange for the aggregate amount of the Per Share Merger Consideration represented by such holder’s Certificates (after giving effect to any required Tax (as defined in Section 5.1(n) withholdings). Upon surrender of a Certificate (or affidavit of loss in lieu thereof as provided in Section 4.2(e)) to the Paying Agent in accordance with the terms of such letter of transmittal, duly executed, the holder of such Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor a cash amount in immediately available funds (after giving effect to any required Tax withholding) equal to (x) the number of Shares represented by such Certificate (or affidavit of loss in lieu thereof as provided in Section 4.2(e)) multiplied by (y) the Per Share Merger Consideration, and the Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled. No interest will be paid or accrued on any amount payable upon due surrender of the Certificates. In the event of a transfer of ownership of Shares that is not registered in the transfer records of the Company, a check for any cash to be exchanged upon due surrender of the Certificate may be issued to such transferee if the Certificate formerly representing such Shares is

presented to the Paying Agent, accompanied by all documents required to evidence and effect such transfer and to evidence that any applicable stock transfer Taxes have been paid or are not applicable.

(c) Transfers. From and after the Effective Time, there shall be no transfers on the stock transfer books of the Company of Shares that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, any Certificate is presented to the Surviving Corporation, Parent or the Paying Agent for transfer, it shall be cancelled and exchanged for the cash amount, if any, in immediately available funds to which the holder thereof is entitled pursuant to this Article IV.

(d) Termination of Exchange Fund. Any portion of the Exchange Fund (including the proceeds of any investments thereof) that remains unclaimed by the stockholders of the Company for 180 days after the Effective Time shall be delivered to the Surviving Corporation. Any holder of Shares (other than Excluded Shares) who has not theretofore complied with this Article IV shall thereafter look only to the Surviving Corporation for payment of the Per Share Merger Consideration (after giving effect to any required Tax withholdings) upon due surrender of its Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu thereof), without any interest thereon. Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the Surviving Corporation, Parent, the Paying Agent or any other Person shall be liable to any former holder of Shares for any amount properly delivered to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Laws. For the purposes of this Agreement, the term “Person” shall mean any individual, corporation (including not-for-profit), general or limited partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, estate, trust, association, organization, Governmental Entity (as defined in Section 5.1(d)(i)) or other entity of any kind or nature.

(e) Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. In the event any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by Parent, the posting by such Person of a bond in customary amount and upon such terms as may be customarily required by Parent as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it or the Surviving Corporation with respect to such Certificate, the Paying Agent will issue a check in the amount (after giving effect to any required Tax withholdings) equal to the number of Shares represented by such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate multiplied by the Per Share Merger Consideration.

(f) Appraisal Rights. No Person who has perfected a demand for appraisal rights pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL shall be entitled to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration with respect to the Shares owned by such Person unless and until such Person shall have effectively withdrawn or lost such Person’s right to appraisal under the DGCL. Each Dissenting Stockholder shall be entitled to receive only the payment provided by Section 262 of the DGCL with respect to Shares owned by such Dissenting Stockholder. The Company shall give Parent (i) prompt notice of any written demands for appraisal, attempted withdrawals of such demands, and any other

instruments served pursuant to applicable Law that are received by the Company relating to stockholders’ rights of appraisal and (ii) the opportunity to direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to any such demand for appraisal under the DGCL. The Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of Parent, voluntarily make any payment with respect to any demands for appraisal, offer to settle or settle any such demands or approve any withdrawal of any such demands.

(g) Withholding Rights. Each of Parent, the Surviving Corporation and the Paying Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder of Shares such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), or any other applicable state, local or foreign Law relating to Tax. To the extent that amounts are so withheld by the Surviving Corporation, Parent or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, such withheld amounts (i) shall be remitted by Parent, the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent, as applicable, to the applicable Governmental Entity, and (ii) shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of Shares in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made by the Surviving Corporation, Parent or the Paying Agent, as the case may be.

4.3 Treatment of Stock Plan.

(a) Treatment of Options. At the Effective Time each outstanding option to purchase Shares (a “Company Option”) under the Stock Plan (as defined in Section 5.1(b)(i)), vested or unvested, shall be cancelled and each such Company Option, vested or unvested, shall only entitle the holder thereof to receive, as soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time, an amount in cash equal to the product of (x) the total number of Shares subject to the Company Option times (y) the excess, if any, of the value of the Per Share Merger Consideration over the exercise price per Share under such Company Option, less applicable Taxes required under applicable Law to be withheld with respect to such payment. To the extent that applicable Tax amounts are so withheld by the Surviving Corporation or Parent, as the case may be, such withheld amounts (i) shall be remitted by Parent or the Surviving Corporation, as applicable, to the applicable Governmental Entity, and (ii) shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of Company Options in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made by the Surviving Corporation or Parent, as the case may be.

(b) Company Awards. At the Effective Time, each right of any kind, contingent or accrued, to acquire or receive Shares or benefits measured by the value of Shares, and each award of any kind consisting of Shares that may be held, awarded, outstanding, payable or reserved for issuance under the Stock Plan and any other Company Benefit Plans, other than Company Options (the “Company Awards”), vested or unvested, shall be cancelled and each such Company Award, vested or unvested, shall only entitle the holder thereof to receive, as soon as reasonably

practicable after the Effective Time, an amount in cash equal to (x) the number of Shares subject to such Company Award immediately prior to the Effective Time times (y) the Per Share Merger Consideration (or, if the Company Award provides for payments to the extent the value of the Shares exceed a specified reference price, the amount, if any, by which the Per Share Merger Consideration exceeds such reference price), less applicable Taxes required under applicable Law to be withheld with respect to such payment. To the extent that applicable Tax amounts are so withheld by the Surviving Corporation or Parent, as the case may be, such withheld amounts (i) shall be remitted by Parent or the Surviving Corporation, as applicable, to the applicable Governmental Entity, and (ii) shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of Company Awards in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made by the Surviving Corporation or Parent, as the case may be.

(c) Corporate Actions. At or prior to the Effective Time, the Company, the board of directors of the Company and the compensation committee of the board of directors of the Company, as applicable, shall adopt any resolutions and take all actions necessary to effectuate the provisions of Section 4.3(a) and (b), including any action to approve the disposition of Company Options and Company Awards in connection with the transactions contemplated under this Agreement to the extent necessary to exempt such disposition under Rule 16b-3 of the Exchange Act. The Company shall take all actions necessary to terminate the Stock Plan as of the Effective Time and to ensure that from and after the Effective Time neither Parent nor the Surviving Corporation will be required to deliver Shares or other capital stock of the Company, Parent or of the Surviving Corporation to any Person pursuant to or in settlement of Company Options or Company Awards.

(d) Notice. As soon as practicable following the mailing of the Proxy Statement (as defined in Section 6.3), the Company shall mail to each person who is a holder of Company Options or Company Awards a letter approved in advance by Parent describing the treatment of and payment for such Company Options or Company Awards pursuant to this Section 4.3 and providing instructions for use in obtaining payment for such Company Options or Company Awards.

4.4 Adjustments to Prevent Dilution. In the event that the Company changes the number of Shares or securities convertible or exchangeable into or exercisable for Shares issued and outstanding prior to the Effective Time as a result of a reclassification, stock split (including a reverse stock split), stock dividend or distribution, recapitalization, merger, issuer tender or exchange offer, or other similar transaction, the Per Share Merger Consideration shall be equitably adjusted.

ARTICLE V

5.1 Representations and Warranties of the Company. Except as set forth in the Company Reports (as defined in Section 5.1(e)) filed with the SEC (as defined in Section 5.1(e)(i)) prior to the date of this Agreement (excluding, in each case, (i) any statements set forth only in the “Risk Factors” sections thereof, (ii) any statements, to the extent that they are cautionary, predictive or forward-looking in nature and (iii) any statements concerning matters disclosed on Schedule 5.1(t)) or as set forth in the corresponding sections or subsections of the disclosure letter delivered to Parent by the Company prior to entering into this Agreement (provided that, except as specified in Section 5,1(t) of the disclosure letter, the disclosures shall qualify other sections and subsections of the disclosure letter to the extent it is reasonably apparent (notwithstanding the absence of a specific cross reference) that such disclosure is applicable to such other sections and subsections) (the “Company Disclosure Letter”), the Company hereby represents and warrants to Parent and Merger Sub that:

(A) changes in the economy or financial markets in the United States;

(B) changes that are proximately caused by factors generally affecting the healthcare information technology industry;

(C) any loss of, or adverse change in, the relationship of the Company with its customers or suppliers, or any loss of the Company’s employees to the extent that the Company establishes was directly or proximately caused by the pendency or announcement of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement;

(D) changes in GAAP (as defined in Section 5.1(e)(iii)) after the date of this Agreement;

(E) any failure by the Company to meet internal or published projections, estimates or forecasts of revenue, earnings, backlog, or other measures of financial or operating performance; provided that the exception in this clause shall not prevent or otherwise affect a determination that any change, effect, circumstance or development underlying such failure has resulted in, or contributed to, a Material Adverse Effect;

(F) any matter arising out of or relating to the matters set forth in Section 5.1(g) of the Company Disclosure Letter;

(G) a decline in the price of the Common Stock on the NASDAQ; provided that the exception in this clause shall not prevent or otherwise affect a determination that any change, effect, circumstance or development underlying such decline in price has resulted in, or contributed to, a Material Adverse Effect; and

(H) changes that are the result of acts of war, armed hostilities or other international or national calamity or acts of terrorism or any natural disaster, except to the extent that such acts, calamities or disasters directly and materially affect the properties, assets or business of the Company;

provided, further, that, with respect to clauses (A) and (B) such change, event, circumstance or development does not (i) primarily relate only to (or have the effect of primarily relating only to) the Company or (ii) disproportionately adversely affect the Company compared to other companies of similar size operating in the healthcare information technology industry.

(b) Capital Structure.

(i) The authorized capital stock of the Company consists of 100,000,000 Shares, of which 33,183,228 Shares were outstanding as

of the date hereof, and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.0001 per share, no shares of which were outstanding as of the date hereof. All of the outstanding Shares have been duly authorized and are validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable. Other than 3,959,803 Shares reserved for issuance under the Company’s Visicu, Inc. Equity Incentive Plan (the “Stock Plan”), the Company has no Shares reserved for issuance. Section 5.1(b)(i) of the Company Disclosure Letter contains a correct and complete list of options, restricted stock, restricted stock units and performance units under the Stock Plan, including the holder, date of grant, term, number of Shares and, where applicable, whether an option is intended to qualify as an “incentive stock option” within the meaning of Section 422(b) of the Code, exercise price and vesting schedule, including whether the vesting will be accelerated by the execution of this Agreement or consummation of the Merger or by termination of employment or change of position following consummation of the Merger. Except as set forth above, there are no preemptive or other outstanding rights, options, warrants, conversion rights, stock appreciation rights, redemption rights, repurchase rights, agreements, arrangements, calls, commitments or rights of any kind that obligate the Company to issue or sell any shares of capital stock or other securities of the Company or any securities or obligations convertible or exchangeable into or exercisable for, or giving any Person a right to subscribe for or acquire, any securities of the Company, and no securities or obligations evidencing such rights are authorized, issued or outstanding. Upon any issuance of any Shares in accordance with the terms of the Stock Plan, such Shares will be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free and clear of any lien, charge, pledge, security interest, claim or other encumbrance (each, a “Lien”). The Company does not have outstanding any bonds, debentures, notes or other obligations the holders of which have the right to vote (or convertible into or exercisable for securities having the right to vote) with the stockholders of the Company on any matter.

(ii) The Company does not own, directly or indirectly, any voting interest in any Person that requires an additional filing by Parent under the Xxxx-Xxxxx-Xxxxxx Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (the “HSR Act”).

(iii) Each Company Option (A) was granted in compliance with all applicable Laws and all of the terms and conditions of the Stock Plan pursuant to which it was issued, (B) qualifies for the Tax and accounting treatment afforded to such Company Option in the Company’s Tax returns and the Company Reports, respectively, (C) to the extent required by applicable Law, was otherwise properly disclosed in the Company Reports, (D) has an exercise price at least equal to the fair market value of a Share on a date no earlier than the date of the corporate action authorizing the grant and has a grant date on or after the date of the corporate action authorizing the grant and (E) is exempt from Section 409(A) of the Code. The Company has provided to Parent a true and complete copy of the Stock Plan and the forms of all agreements

evidencing the Company Options. No consent of the holder of any Company Option is required in connection with the actions contemplated by Section 4.3(a), and such actions so contemplated comport with the Stock Plan and the underlying agreements evidencing the Company Options.

(i) The Company has all requisite corporate power and authority and has taken all corporate action necessary in order to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this Agreement, subject only to adoption of this Agreement by the holders of a majority of the outstanding Shares entitled to vote on such matter at a stockholders’ meeting duly called and held for such purpose (the “Company Requisite Vote”), and to consummate the Merger. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Company and is a valid and binding agreement of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and similar Laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors’ rights and to general equity principles (the “Bankruptcy and Equity Exception”).

(ii) The board of directors of the Company has (A) determined that the Merger is fair to, and in the best interests of, the Company and its stockholders, approved this Agreement, declared advisable this Agreement and the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement and resolved to recommend adoption of this Agreement to the holders of Shares (the “Company Recommendation”), (B) directed that this Agreement be submitted to the holders of Shares for their adoption and (C) received the opinion of its financial advisor, Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx & Co. Incorporated, to the effect that, subject to the assumptions, qualifications and limitations contained therein, the consideration to be received by the holders of the Shares in the Merger is fair, from a financial point of view, as of the date of such opinion, to such holders, a copy of which opinion has been delivered to Parent. The board of directors of the Company has taken all action necessary to ensure that Parent will not be an “interested stockholder” or prohibited from entering into or consummating a “business combination” with the Company (in each case as such term is used in Section 203 of the DGCL) as a result of the execution of this Agreement or the consummation of the Merger or the other transactions contemplated hereby.

(d) Governmental Filings; No Violations; Certain Contracts.

(i) Other than the filings and/or notices pursuant to Sections 1.3 and 6.5(a) and under the HSR Act (the “Company Approvals”), no notices, reports or other filings are required to be made by the Company with, nor are any consents, registrations, approvals, permits or authorizations required to be obtained by the Company from, any (A) nation, state, commonwealth, province,

xxxxxxxxx, xxxxxx, xxxxxxxxxxxx, xxxxxxxx, xx other jurisdiction of any nature, or any political subdivision thereof, (B) federal, state, local, municipal, foreign, or other government, including any state Medicaid Agency or state licensing authority, or (C) governmental or quasi governmental authority of any nature, including any governmental division, department, agency, commission, instrumentality, official, organization, contractor, regulatory body, or other entity and any court, arbitrator, or other tribunal (each a “Governmental Entity”), in connection with the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by the Company and the consummation of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or in connection with the continuing operation of the business of the Company (as presently conducted) following the Effective Time, except those that the failure to make or obtain are not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect or prevent, materially delay or materially impair the consummation of the Merger or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Each Company Benefit Plan which is subject to ERISA (an “ERISA Plan”) that is an “employee pension benefit plan” within the meaning of Section 3(2) of ERISA (a “Pension Plan”) intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code, uses a form of prototype plan document that has received a favorable opinion letter from the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”), and the Company is not aware of any circumstances likely to result in the loss of the qualification of such Plan under Section 401(a) of the Code. The Company does not sponsor or maintain or have any liability with respect to any voluntary employees’ beneficiary association within the meaning of Section 501(c)(9) of the Code.

Neither any Pension Plan nor any single-employer plan of an ERISA Affiliate has been required to file information pursuant to Section 4010 of ERISA for the current or most recently completed plan year. It is not reasonably anticipated that required minimum contributions to any Pension Plan under Section 412 of the Code will be materially increased by application of Section 412(l) of the Code. The Company has not provided, and is not required to provide, security to any Pension Plan or to any single-employer plan of an ERISA Affiliate pursuant to Section 401(a)(29) of the Code.

Pension Plan, and there has been no material change in the financial condition, whether or not as a result of a change in the funding method, of such Pension Plan since the last day of the most recent plan year.

(vi) As of the date hereof, there is no material pending or, to the Knowledge of the Company threatened, litigation relating to the Company Benefit Plans. The Company does not have any obligations for post-termination health and life benefits under any Company Benefit Plan, other than in accordance with Section 4980B of the Code.

(vii) There has been no amendment to, announcement by the Company relating to, or change in employee participation or coverage under, any Company Benefit Plan which would increase materially the expense of maintaining such plan above the level of the expense incurred therefor for the most recent fiscal year.

6.2 Acquisition Proposals.

(a) No Solicitation or Negotiation. The Company agrees that neither it nor any of its officers or directors shall, and that it shall cause its employees not to, and shall instruct its investment bankers, attorneys, accountants and other advisors or representatives (the Company’s officers, employees, investment bankers, attorneys, accountants and other advisors or representatives, collectively, “Representatives”) not to, directly or indirectly:

(i) initiate, solicit or knowingly encourage or facilitate any inquiries or the making of any proposal or offer that constitutes, or could reasonably be expected to lead to, any Acquisition Proposal (as defined below); or

(ii) engage in, continue or otherwise participate in any discussions or negotiations regarding, or provide any non-public information or data to any Person relating to, any Acquisition Proposal; or

(iii) otherwise knowingly facilitate any effort or attempt to make an Acquisition Proposal.

Notwithstanding anything in the foregoing to the contrary, prior to the time, but not after, the Company Requisite Vote is obtained, the Company may (A) provide or cause to be provided information in response to a request therefor by a Person who has made an unsolicited bona fide written Acquisition Proposal providing for the acquisition of more than 50% of the assets (on a consolidated basis) or more than 50% of the total voting power of the equity securities of the Company if the Company receives from the Person so requesting such information, an executed confidentiality agreement on terms at least as protective for the benefit of the Company as those contained in the Confidentiality Agreements (as defined in Section 6.7) and promptly discloses (and, if applicable, provides copies of) any such information to Parent to the extent not previously provided to Parent; (B) engage in discussions or negotiations with any Person who has made such an unsolicited bona fide written Acquisition Proposal; or (C) after having complied with the requirements of this Section 6.2, approve, adopt, recommend, or otherwise declare advisable or propose to approve, adopt, recommend or declare advisable (publicly or otherwise) such an Acquisition Proposal, if and only to the extent that, (x) in each such case referred to in clause (A), (B) or (C) above, the board of directors of the Company determines in good faith after consultation with outside legal counsel that such action is necessary in order for its directors to comply with their respective fiduciary duties under applicable Law; (y) in each such case referred to in clause (A) or (B), if the board of directors of the Company has determined in good faith based on the information then available and after consultation with its financial advisor that such Acquisition Proposal either constitutes a Superior Proposal (as defined below) or is reasonably likely to result in a Superior Proposal; and (z) in the case referred to in clause (C) above, the board of directors of the Company determines in good faith (after

consultation with its financial advisor and outside legal counsel) that such Acquisition Proposal is a Superior Proposal.

(b) Definitions. For purposes of this Agreement:

“Acquisition Proposal” means (i) any proposal or offer with respect to a merger, joint venture, partnership, consolidation, dissolution, liquidation, tender offer, recapitalization, reorganization, share exchange, business combination or similar transaction involving the Company, or (ii) any proposal or offer to acquire in any manner, directly or indirectly, 20% or more of any class of equity securities of the Company or consolidated total assets of the Company, in each case other than the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

“Superior Proposal” means an unsolicited bona fide Acquisition Proposal involving more than 50% of the assets (on a consolidated basis) or 50% or more of the total voting power of the equity securities of the Company that the board of directors of the Company has determined in its good faith judgment is reasonably likely to be consummated in accordance with its terms, taking into account all legal, financial, regulatory and other aspects of the proposal and the Person making the proposal, and if consummated, would result in a transaction more favorable to the Company’s stockholders from a financial point of view than the transaction contemplated by this Agreement (after taking into account any revisions to the terms of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement pursuant to Section 6.2(c) and the time likely to be required to consummate such Acquisition Proposal).

(c) No Change in Recommendation or Alternative Acquisition Agreement. The board of directors of the Company and each committee thereof shall not:

(i) withhold, withdraw, qualify or modify (or publicly propose or resolve to withhold, withdraw, qualify or modify), in a manner adverse to Parent, the Company Recommendation with respect to the Merger (it being understood that publicly taking a neutral position or no position with respect to an Acquisition Proposal at any time beyond 10 business days after the first public announcement of such Acquisition Proposal shall be considered an adverse modification); or

(ii) except as expressly permitted by, and after compliance with, Section 8.3(a)hereof, cause or permit the Company to enter into any letter of intent, memorandum of understanding, agreement in principle, acquisition agreement, merger agreement or other agreement (other than a confidentiality agreement referred to in Section 6.2(a) entered into in the circumstances referred to in Section 6.2(a)) (an “Alternative Acquisition Agreement”) relating to any Acquisition Proposal.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, prior to the time, but not after, the Company Requisite Vote is obtained, the board of directors of the Company may withhold, withdraw, qualify or modify the Company Recommendation or approve, adopt, recommend or otherwise declare advisable any Superior Proposal made after the date hereof and not solicited, initiated or encouraged in breach of this Agreement and (subject to the Company’s prior compliance with Section 8.3(a)) enter into an Alternative Acquisition Agreement in connection therewith, if, subject to compliance with Section 6.2(f) the board of directors of the Company determines in good faith, after consultation with outside counsel, that failure to do so would be inconsistent with its fiduciary obligations under applicable Law (a “Change of Recommendation”); provided, however, that no Change of Recommendation may be made until after at least three business days following Parent’s receipt of written notice from the Company advising that the board of directors of the Company intends to take such action and the basis therefor. In determining whether to make a Change of Recommendation in response to a Superior Proposal or otherwise, the Company board of directors shall take into account any changes to the terms of this Agreement proposed by Parent and any other information provided by Parent in response to, and in each case within three business days of, such notice.

(d) Certain Permitted Disclosure. Without limiting the right of Parent to terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 8.4, nothing contained in this Section 6.2 shall be deemed to prohibit the Company from complying with its disclosure obligations under U.S. federal or state law with regard to an Acquisition Proposal; provided, however, that if such disclosure (other than a “stop, look and listen” announcement) does not reaffirm the Company Recommendation or has the effect of withdrawing or adversely modifying the Company Recommendation, such disclosure shall be deemed to be a Change in Recommendation and Parent shall have the right to terminate this Agreement as set forth in Section 8.4

(e) Existing Discussions. Upon execution of this Agreement, the Company will immediately cease and cause to be terminated any existing activities, discussions or negotiations with any parties conducted heretofore with respect to any Acquisition Proposal. The Company agrees that it will promptly request each Person that has heretofore executed a confidentiality agreement within the twelve-month period prior to this Agreement in connection with its consideration of any Acquisition Proposal to return or destroy all non-public information heretofore furnished to such Person by or on behalf of it.

(f) Notice. The Company agrees that it will promptly (and, in any event, within 24 hours) notify Parent if any inquiries, proposals or offers with respect to an Acquisition Proposal are received by, any such information is requested from, or any such discussions or negotiation are sought to be initiated or continued with, it or any of its Representatives indicating, in connection with such notice, the name of such Person and the material terms and conditions of any proposals or offers (including, if applicable, copies of any written requests, proposals or offers, including proposed agreements) and

thereafter shall keep Parent reasonably informed, on a reasonably current basis, of any material developments affecting the status and terms of any such proposals or offers (including any amendments thereto).

6.3 Information Supplied. The Company shall prepare and file with the SEC, as promptly as practicable after the date of this Agreement, and in any event within 21 days after the date of this Agreement, a proxy statement in preliminary form relating to the Stockholders Meeting (as defined in Section 6.4) (such proxy statement, including any amendment or supplement thereto, the “Proxy Statement”). The Company agrees that the Proxy Statement will, when filed, when mailed and at the time of the Stockholders Meeting, comply in all material respects with the applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company makes no covenants, representations or warranties with respect to information that has been or will be supplied by Parent or Merger Sub, or any of their Affiliates, expressly for use in the Proxy Statement. Each of the Company and Parent agrees, as to itself and its respective Subsidiaries and Affiliates (including, for Parent, the Guarantor), that none of the information supplied or to be supplied by it or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates for inclusion in the Proxy Statement will, on the date the Proxy Statement is first mailed to holders of Common Stock or at the time of the Stockholders Meeting, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

6.4 Stockholders Meeting. The Company will take, in accordance with applicable Law and its certificate of incorporation and bylaws, all action necessary to convene a meeting of holders of Shares (the “Stockholders Meeting”) as promptly as practicable after the execution of this Agreement to consider and vote upon the adoption of this Agreement. Subject to Section 6.2(a) hereof, the board of directors of the Company shall recommend such adoption and shall take all lawful action to solicit such adoption of this Agreement. In the event that subsequent to the date hereof, the board of directors of the Company determines that this Agreement is no longer advisable and makes a Change of Recommendation, the Company shall nevertheless submit this Agreement to the holders of the Shares for adoption at the Stockholders Meeting unless this Agreement shall have been terminated in accordance with its terms prior to the Stockholders Meeting.

6.5 Filings; Other Actions; Notification.

(a) Proxy Statement. The Company shall promptly notify Parent of the receipt of all comments of the SEC with respect to the Proxy Statement and of any request by the SEC for any amendment or supplement thereto or for additional information and shall promptly provide to Parent copies of all correspondence between the Company and/or any of its Representatives, on the one hand, and the SEC or its staff, on the other hand, with respect to the Proxy Statement. Parent and Merger Sub shall, and shall cause their Affiliates to, furnish all information concerning themselves and their

Affiliates as may be reasonably necessary or advisable in connection with the Proxy Statement, and cooperate with and provide reasonable assistance to the Company in connection with the preparation, filing and mailing of the Proxy Statement. The Company and Parent shall each use its commercially reasonable efforts to promptly provide responses to the SEC with respect to all comments received on the Proxy Statement from the SEC or its staff. The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the definitive Proxy Statement to be mailed to the holders of Common Stock entitled to vote at the Stockholders Meeting as promptly as practicable after the date the SEC staff advises that it has no further comments thereon or that the Company may commence mailing the Proxy Statement.

(b) Cooperation. The Company and Parent shall cooperate with each other and use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to take or cause to be taken all actions, and do or cause to be done all things, reasonably necessary, proper or advisable on its part under this Agreement and applicable Laws to consummate and make effective the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement as soon as practicable, including preparing and filing as promptly as practicable all documentation to effect all necessary notices, reports and other filings, responding to all reasonable requests for additional information by a Governmental Entity (including, without limitation, a request for additional information and documents under the HSR Act), and to obtain as promptly as practicable all consents, registrations, approvals, permits, authorizations, actions or non-actions necessary or advisable to be obtained from any third party and/or any Governmental Entity in order to consummate the Merger or any of the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided, however, that (i) nothing in this Agreement, including without limitation, this Section 6.5, shall require, or be construed to require, Parent to proffer to, or agree to, sell, divest, lease, license, transfer, dispose of or otherwise encumber or hold separate and agree to sell, divest, lease, license, transfer, dispose of or otherwise encumber before or after the Effective Time, any assets, licenses, operations, rights, product lines, businesses or interest therein of the Company or Parent or any of Parent’s Affiliates (or to consent to any sale, divestiture, lease, license, transfer, disposition or other encumbrance by the Company of any of its assets, licenses, operations, rights, product lines, businesses or interest therein or to any agreement by the Company to take any of the foregoing actions) or to agree to any material changes (including, without limitation, through a licensing arrangement) or restriction on, or other impairment of the ability of Parent or the Company to own or operate, any such assets, licenses, product lines, businesses or interests therein or Parent’s ability to vote, transfer, receive dividends or otherwise exercise full ownership rights with respect to the stock of the Surviving Company and (ii) nothing in this Agreement shall require, or be construed to require, Parent or any of its Affiliates to take any other action under this Section 6.5 if the United States Department of Justice or the United States Federal Trade Commission authorizes its staff to seek a preliminary injunction or restraining order to enjoin the Merger or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Company and Parent will each request early termination of the waiting period with respect to the Merger under the HSR Act. Subject to applicable Laws relating to the exchange of information, Parent shall have the right to direct all matters

with any Governmental Entity consistent with its obligations hereunder; provided that Parent and the Company shall have the right to review in advance, and to the extent practicable each will consult with the other on and consider in good faith the views of the other in connection with, all of the information relating to Parent or the Company, as the case may be, and any of Parent’s Subsidiaries, that appears in any filing made with, or written materials submitted to, any third party and/or any Governmental Entity in connection with the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including the Proxy Statement and submissions relating to proceedings under the HSR Act). In exercising the foregoing rights, each of the Company and Parent shall act reasonably and as promptly as practicable.

(c) Information. The Company and Parent each shall, upon request by the other, furnish the other with all information concerning itself, its Subsidiaries (in the case of Parent), directors, officers and stockholders and such other matters as may be reasonably necessary or advisable in connection with the Proxy Statement or any other statement, filing, notice or application made by or on behalf of Parent, the Company or any of Parent’s Subsidiaries to any third party and/or any Governmental Entity in connection with the Merger and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(d) Status. Subject to applicable Laws and the instructions of any Governmental Entity, the Company and Parent each shall keep the other apprised of the status of matters relating to completion of the transactions contemplated hereby, including promptly furnishing the other with copies of notices or other communications received by Parent or the Company, as the case may be, or any of Parent’s Subsidiaries, from any third party and/or any Governmental Entity with respect to the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Company shall give prompt notice to Parent of any change, fact or condition that is reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect or of any failure of any condition to Parent’s obligations to effect the Merger. Neither the Company nor Parent shall permit any of its officers or any other representatives or agents to participate in any meeting with any Governmental Entity in respect of any filings, investigation or other inquiry unless it consults with the other party in advance and, to the extent permitted by such Governmental Entity, gives the other party the opportunity to attend and participate therein.

(e) For purposes of this Section 6.5, the term Parent shall include Guarantor. Parent shall cause Guarantor to comply with this Section 6.5 as if Guarantor was a party to this Agreement.

6.6 Access and Reports. Subject to applicable Law, upon reasonable notice, the Company shall afford Parent’s officers and other authorized representatives reasonable access, during normal business hours throughout the period prior to the Effective Time, to its employees, properties, books, contracts and records and, during such period, the Company shall furnish promptly to Parent all information concerning its business, properties and personnel as may reasonably be requested, provided that no

investigation pursuant to this Section 6.6 shall affect or be deemed to modify any representation or warranty made by the Company herein, and provided, further, that the foregoing shall not require the Company (i) to permit any inspection, or to disclose any information, that in the reasonable judgment of the Company would result in the disclosure of any trade secrets of third parties or violate any of its obligations with respect to confidentiality if the Company shall have used commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the consent of such third party to such inspection or disclosure or (ii) to disclose any privileged information of the Company. All requests for information made pursuant to this Section 6.6 shall be directed to an executive officer of the Company or such Person as may be designated by the Company’s executive officers. All such information shall be governed by the terms of the Confidentiality Agreements.

6.7 Stock Exchange De-listing. Prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall cooperate with Parent and use commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and do or cause to be done all things, reasonably necessary, proper or advisable on its part under applicable Laws and rules and policies of the NASDAQ to enable the de-listing by the Surviving Corporation of the Shares from the NASDAQ and the deregistration of the Shares under the Exchange Act as promptly as practicable after the Effective Time, and in any event no more than ten days after the Closing Date.

6.8 Publicity. The initial press release regarding the Merger shall be a joint press release and thereafter the Company and Parent each shall consult with each other prior to issuing any press releases or otherwise making public announcements with respect to the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement and prior to making any filings with any third party and/or any Governmental Entity (including any national securities exchange or interdealer quotation service) with respect thereto, except as may be required by Law or by obligations pursuant to any listing agreement with or rules of any national securities exchange or interdealer quotation service or by the request of any Governmental Entity.

6.9 Employee Benefits.

(a) Parent agrees that, during the period commencing at the Effective Time and ending on the first anniversary thereof, the U.S. employees of the Company will continue to be provided with pension and welfare benefits under employee benefit plans (but excluding equity based benefits) that are at a minimum substantially comparable in the aggregate to those currently provided by the Company to such employees or at a minimum generally comparable in the aggregate to those provided to similarly situated employees of Parent and its Subsidiaries as elected by Parent in its sole discretion. On and after the Closing Date, Parent will cause the employee benefit plans in which the employees of the Company are eligible to participate (the “New Plans”) to take into account for purposes of eligibility and vesting thereunder, except for purposes of qualifying for subsidized early retirement benefits or to the extent it would result in a duplication of benefits, service by the U.S. employees of the Company as if such service

were with Parent to the same extent such service was credited under a comparable plan of the Company and to the extent that such time period is recognized under the terms of such plan of Parent. In addition, Parent shall cause, to the extent permissible under the New Plans (it being understood that Parent shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the New Plans to permit the following), (i) the waiver of all pre-existing condition exclusion and actively-at-work requirements and similar limitations, eligibility waiting periods and evidence of insurability requirements under any New Plans to the extent waived or satisfied by an employee under any comparable Company Benefit Plan as of the Closing Date, and (ii) any covered expenses incurred on or before the Closing Date by any employee (or covered dependent thereof) of the Company to be taken into account for purposes of satisfying applicable deductible, coinsurance and maximum out-of-pocket provisions after the Closing Date under any applicable New Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained herein shall (x) be treated as an amendment of any particular Company Benefit Plan, (y) give any third party any right to enforce the provisions of this Section 6.9, or (z) obligate Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective Affiliates to (A) maintain any particular Company Benefit Plan, or (B) retain the employment of any particular employee.

(b) Prior to the Effective Time, if requested by Parent in writing prior to the Effective Time, to the extent permitted by applicable Law and the terms of the applicable plan or arrangement, the Company shall (i) cause to be amended the employee benefit plans and arrangements of it to the extent necessary to provide that no employees of Parent and its Subsidiaries shall commence participation therein following the Closing unless Parent or such Subsidiary explicitly authorizes such participation, and (ii) cause the Company 401(k) Plan to be terminated effective at least one day prior to the Closing. Parent shall cause a tax-qualified defined contributions retirement plan established or maintained by Parent or an Affiliate (the “Buyer Plan”) to accept eligible rollover distributions from the Company 401(k) Plan with respect to any account balance distributed to employees on or after the Closing Date. Rollovers of outstanding loans from the Company 401(k) Plan to the Buyer Plans shall be permitted.

(c) The Company agrees to cause each of its officers and directors to repay any outstanding liens or notes to the Company prior to the Effective Time.

(d) Prior to making any written or oral communications to the directors, officers or employees of the Company pertaining to compensation or benefit matters that are affected by the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Company shall provide Parent with a copy of the intended communication, Parent shall have a reasonable period of time to review and comment on the communication, and Parent and the Company shall cooperate in providing any such mutually agreeable communication.

6.10 Expenses. Except as otherwise provided in Section 8.5, whether or not the Merger is consummated, all costs and expenses incurred in connection with this

Agreement and the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be paid by the party incurring such expense.

6.11 Indemnification; Directors’ and Officers’ Insurance.

(a) From and after the Effective Time, each of Parent and the Surviving Corporation agrees that it will indemnify and hold harmless each present and former director and officer of the Company (in each case, when acting in such capacity), determined as of the Effective Time (the “Indemnified Parties”), against any costs or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages or liabilities (collectively, “Costs”) incurred in connection with any claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, arising out of 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 fullest extent that the Company would have been permitted under Delaware Law and its certificate of incorporation or bylaws in effect on the date hereof to indemnify such Person (and Parent or the Surviving Corporation shall also advance expenses as incurred to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law; provided that the Person to whom expenses are advanced provides an undertaking to repay such advances if it is ultimately determined that such Person is not entitled to indemnification); and provided, further, that any determination required to be made with respect to whether an officer’s or director’s conduct complies with the standards set forth under Delaware Law and the Company’s certificate of incorporation and bylaws shall be made by independent counsel selected by the Surviving Corporation.

(b) Any Indemnified Party wishing to claim indemnification under paragraph (a) of this Section 6.11, upon learning of any such claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, shall promptly notify Parent thereof, but the failure to so notify shall not relieve Parent or the Surviving Corporation of any liability it may have to such Indemnified Party except to the extent such failure materially prejudices the indemnifying party. In the event of any such claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation (whether arising before or after the Effective Time), (i) Parent or the Surviving Corporation shall have the right to assume the defense thereof and Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall not be liable to such Indemnified Parties for any legal expenses of other counsel or any other expenses subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Parties in connection with the defense thereof, except that if Parent or the Surviving Corporation elects not to assume such defense or counsel for the Indemnified Parties advises that there are issues which raise conflicts of interest between Parent or the Surviving Corporation and the Indemnified Parties, the Indemnified Parties may retain counsel satisfactory to them, and Parent or the Surviving Corporation shall pay all reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel for the Indemnified Parties promptly as statements therefor are received; provided, however, that Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall be obligated pursuant to this paragraph (b) to pay for only one firm of counsel for all Indemnified Parties in any jurisdiction unless the use of one counsel for such Indemnified Parties would present such counsel with a conflict of interest; provided

that the fewest number of counsels necessary to avoid conflicts of interest shall be used; (ii) the Indemnified Parties will cooperate in the defense of any such matter; and (iii) Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall not be liable for any settlement effected without their prior written consent; and provided, further, that Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall not have any obligation hereunder to any Indemnified Party if and when a court of competent jurisdiction shall ultimately determine, and such determination shall have become final, that the indemnification of such Indemnified Party in the manner contemplated hereby is prohibited by applicable Law.

(c) Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall and if the Company is unable to, Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation as of the Effective Time to, obtain and fully pay for “tail” insurance policies with a claims period of at least six years from and after the Effective Time from an insurance carrier with the same or better credit rating as the Company’s current insurance carrier with respect to directors’ and officers’ liability insurance and fiduciary liability insurance (collectively, “D&O Insurance”) with benefits and levels of coverage at least as favorable as the Company’s existing policies with respect to matters existing or occurring at or prior to the Effective Time; provided, however, that in no event shall the Company expend for such policies a premium amount in excess of the amount set forth in the Company Disclosure Letter. If the Company and the Surviving Corporation for any reason fail to obtain such “tail” insurance policies as of the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall, and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, continue to maintain in effect for a period of at least six years from and after the Effective Time the D&O Insurance in place as of the date hereof with benefits and levels of coverage at least as favorable as provided in the Company’s existing policies as of the date hereof, or the Surviving Corporation shall, and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, use commercially reasonable efforts to purchase comparable D&O Insurance for such six-year period with benefits and levels of coverage at least as favorable as provided in the Company’s existing policies as of the date hereof; provided, however, that in no event shall Parent or the Surviving Corporation be required to expend for such policies an annual premium amount in excess of 200% of the annual premiums currently paid by the Company for such insurance; and, provided further that if the annual premiums of such insurance coverage exceed such amount, the Surviving Corporation shall obtain a policy with the greatest coverage available for a cost not exceeding such amount. Following the six-year anniversary of the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall not, and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation not to, agree to amend, modify, cancel or terminate its D&O Insurance to the detriment of the Indemnified Parties or any of their eligible beneficiaries.

(d) If Parent or the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective successors or assigns (i) shall consolidate with or merge into any other corporation or entity and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger, or (ii) shall transfer all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any individual, corporation or other entity, then, and in each such case, proper provisions shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Parent or the

8.5 Effect of Termination and Abandonment. (a) In the event of termination of this Agreement and the abandonment of the Merger pursuant to this Article VIII, this Agreement shall become void and of no effect with no liability on the part of any party hereto (or of any of its Representatives or Affiliates); provided, however, that (i) except as otherwise provided herein, no such termination shall relieve any party hereto of any liability or damages resulting from any willful or intentional breach of this Agreement and (ii) the provisions set forth in the second sentence of Section 9.1 shall survive the termination of this Agreement. No termination of this Agreement shall be effective unless and until notice of such termination shall have been given by the terminating party pursuant to Section 9.6, specifying the provision or provisions of Section 8.1, 8.2, 8.3 or 8.4 pursuant to which termination has been effected. Merger Sub shall not be entitled to terminate this Agreement or receive any notice thereof.

(b) In the event that (i) an Acquisition Proposal shall have been made to the Company or any of its stockholders or any Person shall have publicly

announced an intention (whether or not conditional) to make an Acquisition Proposal with respect to the Company and such Acquisition Proposal or publicly announced intention shall not have been publicly withdrawn without qualification at least (A) 10 business days prior to termination of this Agreement, with respect to termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.2(a), or (B) five business days prior to termination of this Agreement, with respect to termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.2(b), and thereafter this Agreement is terminated by either Parent or the Company pursuant to Section 8.2(a) or 8.2(b), (ii) this Agreement is terminated (A) by Parent pursuant to Section 8.4(a), or (B) by the Company pursuant to Section 8.2(b) and, on or prior to the date of the Stockholders Meeting, any event giving rise to Parent’s right to terminate under Section 8.4(a) shall have occurred, or (iii) this Agreement is terminated by the Company pursuant to Section 8.3(a), then the Company shall promptly, but in no event later than two days after the date of such termination, pay Parent a termination fee of $12,825,000 (the “Termination Fee”) by wire transfer of same day funds; provided, however, that the Termination Fee to be paid pursuant to clause (iii) shall be paid as set forth in Section 8.3; provided, further, that no Termination Fee shall be payable to Parent pursuant to clause (i) of this Section 8.5(b) unless and until within 12 months of such termination the Company shall have entered into an Alternate Acquisition Agreement with respect to, or shall have consummated or shall have approved or recommended to the Company’s stockholders or otherwise not opposed, an Acquisition Proposal (substituting “50%” for “20%” in the definition of “Acquisition Proposal”); provided that for purposes of this Agreement, an Acquisition Proposal shall not be deemed to have been “publicly withdrawn” by any Person if, within 12 months of such termination, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall have entered into an Alternative Acquisition Agreement with respect to, or shall have consummated or shall have approved, adopted or recommended to the Company’s stockholders or otherwise not opposed, an Acquisition Proposal made by or on behalf of such Person or any of its Affiliates. The Company acknowledges that the agreements contained in this Section 8.5(b) are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and that, without these agreements, Parent and Merger Sub would not enter into this Agreement; accordingly, if the Company fails to promptly pay any amount due pursuant to this Section 8.5(b), and, in order to obtain such payment, Parent or Merger Sub commences a suit which results in a judgment against the Company for the fee, to which reference is made in this Section 8.5(b), the Company shall pay to Parent or Merger Sub its costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) in connection with such suit, together with interest on the amount of the fee at the prime rate of Citibank N.A. in effect on the date such payment was required to be made through the date of payment.

9.8 No Third Party Beneficiaries. Except as provided in Section 6.11 (Indemnification; Directors’ and Officers’ Insurance) only, Parent and the Company hereby agree that their respective representations, warranties and covenants set forth herein are solely for the benefit of the other party hereto, in accordance with and subject to the terms of this Agreement, and this Agreement is not intended to, and does not, create any third party beneficiaries or otherwise confer upon any Person other than the

9.9 Obligations of Parent and of the Company. Whenever this Agreement requires a Subsidiary of Parent to take any action, such requirement shall be deemed to include an undertaking on the part of Parent to cause such Subsidiary to take such action.

9.10 Parent Undertaking.

This is a guarantee of payment and performance and not collectibility. Parent hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand of performance, filing of any claim, any right to require any proceeding first against Merger Sub or the Surviving Corporation, as applicable, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever in connection with the performance of its obligations set forth in this Section 9.10. Parent further waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, any defenses or benefits that may be derived from or afforded by Law which limit the liability of or exonerate guarantors or sureties, except to the extent that any such defense is available to Merger Sub, in connection with such performance.

Agreement unless otherwise indicated. Whenever the words “include,” “includes” or “including” are used in this Agreement, they shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation.”

(b) The parties to this Agreement have participated jointly in negotiating and drafting this Agreement.

(c) The fact that any item of information is disclosed in the Company Disclosure Letter shall not be construed to mean that such information is required to be disclosed by this Agreement. Inclusion of information in the Company Disclosure Letter shall not be deemed to constitute an admission or otherwise imply that such information (or any other information or matter) is material to the properties, assets, liabilities, business, financial condition or results of operations of the Company or to the ability of the Company to perform its obligations under this Agreement or to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or has had or would be likely to have a Material Adverse Effect on the Company.
