Section 2.1. The Offer.

(a) Terms and Conditions of the Offer. Provided that this Agreement shall not have been terminated pursuant to Article IX, as promptly as practicable after the date hereof (but in no event more than seven (7) Business Days thereafter), Acquisition Sub shall (and Parent shall cause Acquisition Sub to) commence (within the meaning of Rule 14d-2 promulgated under the Exchange Act) the Offer to purchase any and all of the Company Shares at a price per Company Share, subject to the terms of Section 2.1(c), equal to the Offer Price. The Offer shall be made by means of an offer to purchase (the “Offer to Purchase”) that is disseminated to all of the Company Stockholders and contains the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and in Annex A. Each of Parent and Acquisition Sub shall use its reasonable best efforts to consummate the Offer, subject to the terms and conditions hereof and thereof. The Offer shall be subject only to:

(i) the condition (the “Minimum Condition”) that, prior to the expiration of the Offer, there be validly tendered and not withdrawn in accordance with the terms of the Offer a number of Company Shares that, together with the Company Shares then owned by Parent, Acquisition Sub and their respective Affiliates (if any), represents at least a majority of all then outstanding Company Shares (not including Company Shares tendered pursuant to guaranteed delivery procedures that have not been “received,” as such term is defined in Section 251(h) of the DGCL, by the depository of the Offer); and

(ii) the other conditions set forth in Annex A.

(b) Waiver of Conditions. Acquisition Sub expressly reserves the right to waive any of the conditions to the Offer and to make, in its sole and absolute discretion, any change in the terms of or conditions to the Offer; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary set forth herein, without the prior written consent of the Company in its sole and absolute discretion, Acquisition Sub may not (and Parent shall not permit Acquisition Sub to) (i) waive the Minimum Condition or the condition set forth in clause (C)(1) of Annex A or (ii) make any change in the terms of or conditions to the Offer that (A) changes the form of consideration to be paid in the Offer, (B) decreases the Offer Price or the number of Company Shares sought in the Offer, (C) extends the Offer, other than in a manner required by the provisions of Section 2.1(d), (D) imposes conditions to the Offer other than those set forth in Annex A, or (E) amends any other term or condition of the Offer (including those set forth in Annex A) in any manner that is adverse to the Company Stockholders.

(c) Adjustments to the Offer Price. The Offer Price shall be adjusted appropriately to reflect the effect of any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend (including

- 14 -

any dividend or other distribution of securities convertible into Company Common Stock), reclassification, combination, exchange of shares or other like change with respect to Company Common Stock occurring on or after the date hereof and prior to Acquisition Sub’s acceptance for payment of, and payment for, Company Shares that are tendered pursuant to the Offer.

(d) Expiration and Extension of the Offer.

(i) Unless the Offer is extended pursuant to and in accordance with this Agreement, the Offer shall expire at midnight, New York Time, on the date that is twenty (20) Business Days after the date the Offer is first commenced (within the meaning of Rule 14d-2 promulgated under the Exchange Act) (as such date and time may be extended, the “Expiration Time”). In the event that the Offer is extended pursuant to and in accordance with this Agreement, then the Offer shall expire on the date and at the time to which the Offer has been so extended.

(ii) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.1(d)(i) or anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement:

(A) Acquisition Sub shall extend the Offer for any period required by any Law or Order, or any rule, regulation, interpretation or position of the SEC or its staff or NASDAQ, in any such case that is applicable to the Offer;

(B) in the event that any of the conditions to the Offer set forth on Annex A, other than the Minimum Condition, are not satisfied or waived (if permitted hereunder) as of any then scheduled expiration of the Offer, Acquisition Sub shall extend the Offer for successive extension periods of ten (10) Business Days each (or any longer period as may be approved in advance by the Company) in order to permit the satisfaction of all of the conditions to the Offer; and

(C) in the event that all of the conditions to the Offer set forth on Annex A have been satisfied or waived (if permitted hereunder), except that the Minimum Condition has not been satisfied, as of any then scheduled expiration of the Offer, Acquisition Sub shall extend the Offer for an extension period of ten (10) Business Days (or any longer period as may be approved in advance by the Company), it being understood and agreed that Acquisition Sub shall not be required to extend the Offer pursuant to this clause (C) on more than two (2) occasions, but may, in its sole discretion, elect to do so;

provided, however, that the foregoing clauses (A), (B) or (C) of this Section 2.1(d)(ii) shall not be deemed to impair, limit or otherwise restrict in any manner the right of the parties to terminate this Agreement pursuant to the terms of Article IX, and in no event shall Acquisition Sub be required to extend the Offer beyond the Termination Date.

(iii) Neither Parent nor Acquisition Sub shall extend the Offer in any manner other than pursuant to and in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.1(d)(ii) without the prior written consent of the Company.

- 15 -

(iv) Neither Parent nor Acquisition Sub shall terminate or withdraw the Offer prior to the then scheduled expiration of the Offer unless this Agreement is validly terminated in accordance with Article IX, in which case Acquisition Sub shall (and Parent shall cause Acquisition Sub to) irrevocably and unconditionally terminate the Offer promptly (but in no event more than one (1) Business Day) after such termination of this Agreement.

(e) Payment for Company Shares. On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement and the Offer, Acquisition Sub shall (and Parent shall cause Acquisition Sub to) accept for payment, and pay for, all Company Shares that are validly tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to the Offer promptly (within the meaning of Section 14e-1(c) promulgated under the Exchange Act) after the expiration of the Offer (as it may be extended in accordance with Section 2.1(d)(ii)). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Parent shall provide or cause to be provided to Acquisition Sub on a timely basis the funds necessary to pay for any Company Shares that Acquisition Sub becomes obligated to purchase pursuant to the Offer; provided, however, that, without the prior written consent of the Company, Acquisition Sub shall not accept for payment or pay for any Company Shares if, immediately thereafter, Acquisition Sub would own less than the number of Company Shares necessary to satisfy the Minimum Condition. The Offer Price payable in respect of each Company Share validly tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to the Offer shall be paid net to the holder thereof in cash, subject to reduction for any withholding Taxes pursuant to Section 3.8(e).

(f) Subsequent Offering Period. Subject to the last sentence of this Section 2.1(f), Acquisition Sub may (but shall not be required to), and the Offer to Purchase shall reserve the right to, provide for a “subsequent offering period” (within the meaning of Rule 14d-11 promulgated under the Exchange Act) of not less than three (3) nor more than twenty (20) Business Days immediately following the expiration of the Offer. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Offer, Acquisition Sub shall (and Parent shall cause Acquisition Sub to) accept for payment, and pay for, all Company Shares that are validly tendered during the “subsequent offering period” promptly (within the meaning of Section 14e-1(c) promulgated under the Exchange Act) after any such Company Shares are validly tendered during the “subsequent offering period.” Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Parent shall provide or cause to be provided to Acquisition Sub on a timely basis the funds necessary to pay for any Company Shares that Acquisition Sub becomes obligated to purchase during such “subsequent offering period.” The Offer Price payable in respect of each Company Share that is validly tendered during the “subsequent offering period” shall be paid net to the holder thereof in cash, subject to reduction for any withholding Taxes pursuant to Section 3.8(e). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, Acquisition Sub shall not (and Parent shall cause Acquisition Sub not to) commence any “subsequent offering period” after the Acceptance Time if the Merger can be effected pursuant to Section 251(h) of the DGCL.

Such Company Stockholders shall be entitled to receive payment of the fair value of such Dissenting Company Shares in accordance with the provisions of Section 262 of the DGCL, except that all Dissenting Company Shares held by Company Stockholders who shall have failed to perfect or who shall have effectively withdrawn or lost their rights to appraisal of such Dissenting Company Shares under such Section 262 of the DGCL shall no longer be considered to be Dissenting Company Shares and shall thereupon be deemed to have been converted into, and to have become exchangeable for, as of the Effective Time, the right to receive the Merger Consideration, without interest thereon, upon surrender of the certificate or certificates that formerly evidenced such Company Shares in the manner provided in Section 3.8.

(ii) The Company shall give Parent (A) prompt notice of any demands for appraisal received by the Company, withdrawals of such demands, and any other instruments served pursuant to Delaware Law and received by the Company in respect of Dissenting Company Shares and (B) the opportunity to participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to demands for appraisal under Delaware Law in respect of Dissenting Company Shares. The Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of Parent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), voluntarily make any payment with respect to any demands for appraisal, or settle or offer to settle any such demands for payment, in respect of Dissenting Company Shares.

(d) Company Options. Effective as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, (i) the vesting of each Company Option that remains outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be accelerated in full, (ii) each Company Option that remains outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be cancelled and terminated as of

- 22 -

the Effective Time and (iii) each holder of each such Company Option shall be paid by the Surviving Corporation promptly after the Effective Time, subject to Section 3.8(e), an amount in cash (without interest), if any, equal to the product obtained by multiplying (x) the aggregate number of Company Shares underlying such Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time, by (y) an amount equal to (A) the Offer Price, less (B) the per share exercise price of such Company Option (the “Option Consideration”) (it being understood and agreed that such exercise price shall not actually be paid to the Surviving Corporation by the holder of a Company Option). Within three (3) Business Days after the Closing, Parent shall pay by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Surviving Corporation, and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to pay to each of the holders of Company Options, the applicable Option Consideration (less any applicable withholding Taxes pursuant to Section 3.8(e)) as promptly as practicable (and in no event later than the next regular payroll date) thereafter.

(e) Company RSU Awards. Effective as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, (i) the vesting of each Company RSU Award that remains outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be accelerated in full (which, in the case of a Company RSU Award that vests in whole or in part on the basis of achievement of performance goals, shall be determined as if performance were at 100% of targeted performance), (ii) each Company RSU Award that remains outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be cancelled and terminated as of the Effective Time and (iii) each holder of each such Company RSU Award shall be entitled to be paid by the Surviving Corporation promptly after the Effective Time, subject to Section 3.8(e), an amount in cash (without interest), if any, equal to the product obtained by multiplying (x) the aggregate number of Company Shares underlying such Company RSU Award immediately prior to the Effective Time, by (y) the Offer Price (the “RSU Consideration”). Within three (3) Business Days after the Closing, Parent shall pay by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Surviving Corporation, and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to pay to each of the holders of Company RSU Awards, the applicable RSU Consideration (less any applicable withholding Taxes pursuant to Section 3.8(e)) as promptly as practicable (and in no event later than the next regular payroll date) thereafter.

(f) The Company, the Company Board and any applicable committee thereof shall take all requisite action to effectuate the provisions of Section 3.7(d) and Section 3.7(e), above.

Section 3.8. Exchange of Certificates.

(a) Payment Agent. Prior to the Acceptance Time, Parent shall select a bank or trust company reasonably acceptable to the Company to act as the payment agent for the Merger (the “Payment Agent”).

(b) Exchange Fund. At the Closing, Parent shall deposit (or cause to be deposited) with the Payment Agent, for payment to the Company Stockholders pursuant to the provisions of this Article III, an amount of cash equal to the aggregate consideration to which holders of Company Common Stock are entitled under this Article III (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not include the Option Consideration or the RSU Consideration). Until disbursed in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, such funds shall be invested by the Payment Agent, as directed by Parent or the Surviving Corporation, in obligations of or

- 23 -

guaranteed by the United States of America or obligations of an agency of the United States of America which are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States of America (such cash amount being referred to herein as the “Exchange Fund”). Any interest and other income resulting from such investments shall be paid to Parent. No investment or losses thereon shall affect the consideration to which holders of Company Common Stock are entitled under this Article III and to the extent that there are any losses with respect to any investments of the Exchange Fund, or the Exchange Fund diminishes for any reason below the amount required to promptly pay in full the cash amounts contemplated by this Article III, Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, promptly replace or restore the cash in the Exchange Fund so as to ensure that the Exchange Fund is at all times maintained at a level sufficient to make in full such payments contemplated by this Article III.

(c) Payment Procedures. Promptly following the Effective Time, Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall cause the Payment Agent to mail to each holder of record (as of immediately prior to the Effective Time) of (i) a certificate or certificates (the “Certificates”) which immediately prior to the Effective Time evidenced outstanding Company Shares and (ii) uncertificated Company Shares (the “Uncertificated Shares”), in each case, whose Company Shares were converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 3.7 (A) a letter of transmittal in customary form (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of the Certificates to the Payment Agent), and (B) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates and Uncertificated Shares in exchange for the Merger Consideration payable in respect thereof pursuant to the provisions of this Article III. Upon surrender of Certificates for cancellation to the Payment Agent, together with such letter of transmittal, duly completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto, the holders of such Certificates shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor an amount in cash equal to the product obtained by multiplying (x) the aggregate number of Company Shares represented by such Certificate that were converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 3.7, by (y) the Merger Consideration (less any applicable withholding Tax pursuant to Section 3.8(e)), and the Certificates so surrendered shall forthwith be canceled. Upon receipt of an “agent’s message” by the Payment Agent (or such other evidence, if any, of transfer as the Payment Agent may reasonably request) in the case of a book-entry transfer of Uncertificated Shares, the holders of such Uncertificated Shares shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor an amount in cash equal to the product obtained by multiplying (x) the aggregate number of Company Shares represented by such holder’s transferred Uncertificated Shares that were converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 3.7, by (y) the Merger Consideration (less any applicable withholding Tax pursuant to Section 3.8(e)), and the transferred Uncertificated Shares so surrendered shall forthwith be canceled. The Payment Agent shall accept such Certificates and transferred Uncertificated Shares upon compliance with such reasonable terms and conditions as the Payment Agent may impose to effect an orderly exchange thereof in accordance with normal and reasonable exchange practices. No interest shall be paid or accrued for the benefit of holders of the Certificates and Uncertificated Shares on the Merger Consideration payable upon the surrender of such Certificates and Uncertificated Shares pursuant to this Section 3.8. Until so surrendered, outstanding Certificates and Uncertificated Shares shall be deemed, from and after the Effective Time, to evidence only the right to receive the Merger Consideration, without interest thereon, payable in respect thereof pursuant to the provisions of this Article III.

- 24 -

(d) Transfers of Ownership. In the event that a transfer of ownership of Company Shares is not registered in the stock transfer books or ledger of the Company, or if the Merger Consideration is to be paid in a name other than that in which the Certificates or Uncertificated Shares surrendered in exchange therefor are registered in the stock transfer books or ledger of the Company, the Merger Consideration may be paid to a Person other than the Person in whose name the Certificate or Uncertificated Share so surrendered is registered in the stock transfer books or ledger of the Company only if such Certificate or Uncertificated Shares is properly endorsed and otherwise in proper form for surrender and transfer and the Person requesting such payment has paid to Parent (or any agent designated by Parent) any transfer or other similar Taxes required by reason of the payment of the Merger Consideration to a Person other than the registered holder of such Certificate or Uncertificated Shares, or established to the reasonable satisfaction of Parent (or any agent designated by Parent) that such Taxes have been paid or are otherwise not payable.

(e) Required Withholding. Each of the Payment Agent, Parent, Acquisition Sub and the Surviving Corporation shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any cash amounts payable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder or former holder of Company Shares, Company Options and Company RSU Awards such amounts as are required to be deducted or withheld therefrom under applicable Tax Laws; provided, however, that before making any such deduction or withholding, Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide to the Company, a reasonable period of time prior to Closing, notice of any applicable payor’s intention to make such deduction or withholding and, in reasonable detail, the authority, basis and method of calculation for the proposed deduction or withholding, and provide the Company with a reasonable opportunity to obtain reduction of or relief from such deduction or withholding from the applicable Governmental Authority and/or execute and deliver to or file with such Governmental Authority and/or Parent such affidavits, certificates and other documents as may reasonably be expected to afford to the Company and its stockholders reduction of or relief from such deduction or withholding. Parent shall reasonably cooperate with the Company to obtain such reduction of or relief from such deduction or withholding. To the extent that such amounts are so deducted, withheld and remitted to the applicable Governmental Authority, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes under this Agreement as having been paid to the Person to whom such amounts would otherwise have been paid.

(f) No Liability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, none of the Payment Agent, Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any other party hereto shall be liable to a Company Stockholder for any amount properly paid to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law.

(g) Distribution of Exchange Fund to Parent. Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains undistributed to the holders of the Certificates or Uncertificated Shares on the date that is twelve (12) months after the Effective Time shall be delivered to Parent upon demand, and any Company Stockholder who has not theretofore surrendered his, her or its Certificates or Uncertificated Shares evidencing such Company Shares for exchange pursuant to the provisions of this Section 3.8 shall thereafter look for payment of the Merger Consideration payable in respect of the Company Shares represented by such Certificates or Uncertificated Shares solely to Parent (subject to abandoned property, escheat or similar Laws), as general

- 25 -

creditors thereof, for any claim to the applicable Merger Consideration to which such holders may be entitled pursuant to the provisions of this Article III.

Section 3.9. No Further Ownership Rights in Company Common Stock. From and after the Effective Time, all Company Shares shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled and cease to exist, and each holder of a Certificate or Uncertificated Shares theretofore representing any Company Shares shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the Merger Consideration payable therefor upon the surrender thereof in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.8. The Merger Consideration paid in accordance with the terms of this Article III shall be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such shares of the Company Common Stock. From and after the Effective Time, there shall be no further registration of transfers on the records of the Surviving Corporation of Company Shares that were issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, other than transfers to reflect, in accordance with customary settlement procedures, trades effected prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates or Uncertificated Shares are presented to the Surviving Corporation for any reason, they shall be canceled and exchanged as provided in this Article III.

Section 3.10. Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. In the event that any Certificates shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, the Payment Agent shall issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificates, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the holder thereof, in the form and substance as reasonably requested by the Payment Agent, and the posting by such holders of a bond in customary and reasonable amount and upon such terms as may reasonably be required by Parent as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, the Merger Consideration payable in respect thereof pursuant to Section 3.7.

Section 3.11. Necessary Further Actions. As of the Effective Time, the officers and directors of Parent and the Surviving Corporation will be authorized to execute and deliver, in the name and on behalf of the Company and Acquisition Sub, any deeds, bills of sale, assignments or assurances and to take and do, in the name and on behalf of the Company and Acquisition Sub, any other actions and things to vest, perfect or confirm of record or otherwise in the Surviving Corporation any and all right, title and interest in, to and under any of the rights, properties or assets acquired or to be acquired by the Surviving Corporation as a result of, or in connection with, the Merger.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if at any time following the date of this Agreement and prior to the Acceptance Time, (i) the Company receives a written Acquisition Proposal that the Company Board believes in good faith to be bona fide, (ii) such Acquisition Proposal was unsolicited and did not otherwise result from a breach of this Section 6.2, and (iii) the Company Board determines in good faith (after consultation with outside counsel and its financial advisor) that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes or is reasonably likely to lead to a Superior Proposal, then the Company may (x) furnish information or data with respect to the Company and its Subsidiaries to the Person making such Acquisition Proposal pursuant to an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement; provided that any non-public information provided to any such Person shall have been previously provided to Parent or shall be provided to Parent prior to or concurrently with the time it is provided to such Person (or Parent shall be given access to such information) and (y) participate in discussions or negotiations with the Person making such Acquisition Proposal regarding such Acquisition Proposal. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 6.2 or elsewhere in this Agreement, the Company, its Subsidiaries and its Representatives may, in any event, contact any third party to (i) seek to clarify and understand the terms and conditions of any inquiry or proposal made by such third party solely to determine whether such inquiry or proposal constitutes or could reasonably be expected to lead to a Superior Proposal and (ii) inform such third party that has made or, to the knowledge of the Company, is considering making an Acquisition Proposal, of the provisions of this Section 6.2.

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

(i) (A) withdraw (or modify or qualify in any manner adverse to Parent or Acquisition Sub) the recommendation that the holders of Company Shares accept the Offer and tender their Company Shares to Acquisition Sub pursuant to the Offer, (B) recommend or otherwise declare advisable the approval by the Company Stockholders of any Acquisition Proposal, or (C) resolve or agree to take any such actions (each such action set forth in this Section 6.2(c)(i) being referred to herein as an “Adverse Recommendation Change”); or

(ii) cause or permit the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to enter into any letter of intent, memorandum of understanding, agreement in principle, acquisition agreement, merger agreement, option agreement, joint venture agreement, partnership agreement or other Contract, except for an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement (each, an “Alternative Acquisition Agreement”) in each case constituting or related to, or that is intended to or would be reasonably expected to lead to, any Acquisition Proposal, or resolve, agree or propose to take any such actions.

(iii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, at any time prior to the Acceptance Time, the Company Board shall be permitted, subject to compliance with this Section 6.2(c), (x) to terminate this Agreement to concurrently enter into a definitive Alternative Acquisition Agreement and/or (y) to effect any Adverse Recommendation Change, if, in each case, the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel and financial advisors, that failure to take such action would be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law; provided, however, that the Company may not make an Adverse Recommendation Change or terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.1 unless:

- 54 -

(A) the Company notifies Parent in writing at least three (3) Business Days before taking that action of its intention to do so, and, as applicable, which notice, to the extent permitted under the terms of any Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement, specifies the reasons therefor, including the material terms and conditions of such Superior Proposal, the identity of the party making such Superior Proposal and a copy of the relevant proposed transaction agreements with such party, or in the case of any Adverse Recommendation Change that is not related to a Superior Proposal, a reasonably detailed summary of the basis of such action (it being understood and agreed that any amendment to the material financial terms or any other material term of such Superior Proposal (including any revision in the amount, form or mix of consideration the Company Stockholders would receive as a result of such potential Superior Proposal) or any material change to the facts and circumstances relating to the Adverse Recommendation Change shall require a new written notice by the Company and an additional two (2) Business Day period); and

(B) if Parent makes a proposal during such three (3) Business Day period (or, in the case of a new written notice, such two (2) Business Day period) to adjust the terms and conditions of this Agreement (which shall be in writing in a form that would create a binding contract if accepted by the Company), the Company Board, after taking into consideration the adjusted terms and conditions of this Agreement as proposed by Parent, continues to determine in good faith (after consultation with outside counsel and its financial advisor) that such Superior Proposal continues to be a Superior Proposal or that the failure to make an Adverse Recommendation Change or terminate this Agreement, as applicable, would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties to the Company Stockholders under applicable Law. During the two (2) Business Day period prior to its effecting an Adverse Recommendation Change or terminating this Agreement as referred to above, the Company shall, and shall cause its financial and legal advisors to, negotiate with Parent in good faith (to the extent Parent seeks to negotiate) regarding any revisions to the terms of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement proposed by Parent. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall enter into any Alternative Acquisition Agreement unless this Agreement has been terminated in accordance with its terms (including the payment of the Termination Fee pursuant to Section 9.4(b), if applicable).

(d) From and after the date hereof, the Company as promptly as reasonably practicable, and in any event within two (2) Business Days of receipt, shall advise Parent in writing in the event the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Representatives receives (i) any inquiry or request for information, discussion or negotiation that is reasonably likely to lead to or that contemplates an Acquisition Proposal or (ii) to the extent permitted by any Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement, any proposal or offer that is or is reasonably likely to lead to an Acquisition Proposal, in each case together with a description of the material terms and conditions of and facts surrounding any such indication, inquiry, request, proposal or offer, and a copy of any written proposal, offer or draft agreement provided by such Person. The Company shall keep Parent informed (orally and in writing) in all material respects on a reasonably timely basis of the status and details (including, within two (2) Business Days after the occurrence of any amendment) of any such Acquisition Proposal, request, inquiry, proposal or offer, including, to the extent permitted by any Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement, furnishing copies of any

- 55 -

written draft documentation. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall prohibit the Company or the Company Board, directly or indirectly through its Representatives, from (i) taking and disclosing to the Company Stockholders a position with respect to a tender or exchange offer by a third party pursuant to Rule 14d-9 or Rule 14e-2 promulgated under the Exchange Act (or any similar communication to the Company Stockholders), (ii) making any “stop, look and listen” communication to the Company Stockholders pursuant to Rule 14d-9(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act or (iii) any other communication to the Company Stockholders if (in the case of this clause (iii)) the Company Board has determined in good faith, after consultation with its financial and outside legal advisors, that the failure to do so would be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law; provided, however, that any disclosure referred to in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) shall be deemed to be an Adverse Recommendation Change unless the Company Board expressly reaffirms the Board Recommendation in such disclosure.

(e) For purposes of this Agreement:

(i) “Acquisition Proposal” means, other than the Merger or any other proposal or offer from Parent, Acquisition Sub or any of their respective Affiliates, any proposal, offer or inquiry from a Person relating to (A) any acquisition or purchase, in a single transaction or series of related transactions, of (1) twenty-five percent (25%) or more of the assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or (2) Company Securities representing twenty-five percent (25%) or more of the combined voting power of the Company; (B) any tender offer or exchange offer that if consummated would result in any Person or group acquiring beneficial ownership of twenty-five percent (25%) or more of the combined voting power of the Company; (C) the issuance by the Company of Company Securities representing twenty-five percent (25%) or more of its voting securities; or (D) any merger, consolidation, business combination, recapitalization, liquidation, dissolution, share exchange or other transaction involving the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in which a Person or its stockholders, if consummated, would acquire twenty-five percent (25%) or more of the combined voting power of the Company or the surviving entity or the resulting direct or indirect parent of the Company or such surviving entity.

(ii) “Superior Proposal” means any bona fide written Acquisition Proposal that the Company Board determines in good faith (after consultation with outside counsel and its financial advisor), taking into account all legal, financial, regulatory and other aspects of the proposal, the Person making the proposal, and such other factors as the Company Board considers to be appropriate, is more favorable to Company Stockholders from a financial point of view than the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including any adjustment to the terms and conditions proposed by Parent in response to such proposal); provided that, for purposes of this definition of “Superior Proposal,” references in the term “Acquisition Proposal” to “25%” shall be deemed to be references to “50%.”

(iii) “Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement” means (i) any confidentiality agreement entered into by the Company from and after the date of this Agreement that contains confidentiality provisions that are not materially less favorable in the aggregate to the Company than those contained in the Confidentiality Agreement, except that such confidentiality agreement need not include explicit or implicit standstill provisions that would restrict the making of or amendment or modification to Acquisition Proposals, or (ii) any confidentiality agreement entered into prior to the date of this Agreement, it being understood

- 56 -

that the Company, in its sole discretion, shall be entitled to waive or release any preexisting explicit or implicit standstill provisions or similar agreements with any Person or group of Persons.

(a) Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement and subject to Section 6.2, each of Parent, Acquisition Sub and the Company shall use its reasonable best 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 party or parties hereto in doing, all things reasonably necessary, proper or advisable under applicable Law or otherwise to consummate and make effective, in the most expeditious manner practicable, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including using reasonable best efforts to (i) cause the conditions to the Offer set forth in Section 2.1(a) and Annex A to be satisfied and cause the conditions to the Merger set forth in Article VIII to be satisfied; (ii) obtain all necessary actions or non-actions, waivers, consents, approvals, orders and authorizations from Governmental Authorities and make all necessary registrations, declarations and filings with Governmental Authorities, that are necessary to consummate the Offer and the Merger; and (iii) obtain all necessary or appropriate consents, waivers and approvals under any Material Contracts to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party in connection with this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby. In addition to the foregoing, neither Parent or Acquisition Sub, on the one hand, nor the Company, on the other hand, shall take any action, or fail to take any action, that is intended to, or has (or would reasonably be expected to have) the effect of, preventing, impairing, delaying or otherwise adversely affecting the consummation of the Offer or the Merger or the ability of such party to fully perform its obligations under the Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Company shall not be required prior to the Effective Time to pay any consent or other similar fee, “profit-sharing” or other similar payment or other consideration (including increased rent or other similar payments or any amendments, supplements or other modifications to (or waivers of) the existing terms of any Contract), or the provision of additional security (including a guaranty) or otherwise assume or agree to assume any Liability that is not conditioned upon the consummation of the Merger, to obtain any consent, waiver or approval of any Person (including any Governmental Authority) under any Contract.

(b) Parent agrees, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, that, between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time, Parent shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates not to (i) enter into or consummate any agreements or arrangements for an acquisition (via stock purchase, merger, consolidation, purchase of assets or otherwise) of any ownership interest or assets of any Person if such ownership interest or assets would reasonably be expected to result in any delay in obtaining, or to result in the failure to obtain, any regulatory approvals required in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby (including the Merger), or (ii) take or agree to take any other action (including entering into agreements with respect to any equity investments, joint ventures, acquisitions, mergers, consolidations or business combinations) which would reasonably be expected to result in any delay in obtaining, or which would reasonably be

- 57 -

expected to result in the failure to obtain, any approvals of any Governmental Authority required in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby (including the Merger), or which would otherwise reasonably be expected to prevent or delay the Merger.

Section 7.2. Antitrust Filings.

(a) Each of Parent and Acquisition Sub (and their respective Affiliates, if applicable), on the one hand, and the Company, on the other hand, shall file with the FTC and the Antitrust Division of the DOJ a Notification and Report Form relating to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby as required by the HSR Act as soon as practicable after the date of this Agreement but in no event later than seven (7) Business Days following the date of this Agreement. Each of Parent and the Company shall (i) cooperate and coordinate with the other in the making of such filings, (ii) supply the other with any information and documentary material that may be required in order to make such filings, (iii) supply as promptly as reasonably practicable to the FTC or the DOJ any additional information that reasonably may be required or requested by the FTC or the DOJ and (iv) take any and all action necessary or advisable to cause the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting periods under the HSR Act as soon as practicable and to obtain prompt approval of the consummation of the Offer or the Merger under any Antitrust Laws, including (1) proposing, negotiating, committing to and effecting, by consent decree, hold separate order or otherwise, conduct of business restrictions, a sale or disposition of such assets or businesses as are required to be divested or a license or grant of commercialization rights to businesses, product lines, fields of use, or assets of Parent or its Affiliates (including, after the Closing, the Surviving Corporation and its Affiliates), (2) amending any venture or other arrangement of Parent or its Affiliates (including the Surviving Corporation and its Affiliates), (3) cooperating with each other and using their respective reasonable best efforts to contest and resist any Legal Proceeding and to have vacated, lifted, reversed or overturned any Order that may result from such Legal Proceedings, whether temporary, preliminary or permanent, that is in effect and that prohibits, prevents or restricts consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and (4) otherwise taking or committing to take actions after the Closing with respect to one or more of the businesses, product lines, fields of use, or assets of Parent and its Affiliates (including the Surviving Corporation and its Affiliates), in each case, as may be required in order to enable the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, including the Merger, to occur as soon as reasonably practicable (and in any event no later than the Termination Date) and to otherwise avoid the entry of, or to effect the dissolution of, any preliminary or permanent injunction which would otherwise have the effect of preventing the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, including the Merger. Further, and for the avoidance of doubt, Parent will not extend any waiting period under the HSR Act or enter into any agreement with the FTC, the Antitrust Division of the DOJ or any other Governmental Authority not to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except with the prior written consent of the Company.

(b) Each of Parent and Acquisition Sub (and their respective Affiliates, if applicable), on the one hand, and the Company, on the other hand, shall promptly inform the other of any communication from any Governmental Authority regarding any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in connection with any filings or investigations with, by or before any Governmental Authority relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated

- 58 -

hereby, including any proceedings initiated by a private party. If any party hereto or an Affiliate thereof shall receive a request for additional information or documentary material from any Governmental Authority with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement pursuant to the HSR Act with respect to which any such filings have been made, then such party shall use its reasonable best efforts to make, or cause to be made, as soon as reasonably practicable and after consultation with the other party, an appropriate response in compliance with such request. In connection with and without limiting the foregoing, to the extent reasonably practicable and unless prohibited by applicable Law or by the applicable Governmental Authority, the parties hereto agree to (i) give each other reasonable advance notice of all meetings and conference calls with any Governmental Authority relating to the Offer or the Merger, (ii) give each other an opportunity to participate in each of such meetings and conference calls, (iii) keep the other party reasonably apprised with respect to any oral communications with any Governmental Authority regarding the Offer or the Merger, (iv) cooperate in the filing of any analyses, presentations, memoranda, briefs, arguments, opinions or other written communications explaining or defending the Offer and the Merger, articulating any regulatory or competitive argument and/or responding to requests or objections made by any Governmental Authority, (v) provide each other with a reasonable advance opportunity to review and comment upon, and consider in good faith the views of the other with respect to, all written communications (including any analyses, presentations, memoranda, briefs, arguments and opinions) with a Governmental Authority regarding the Offer and the Merger, (vi) provide each other (or counsel of each party, as appropriate) with copies of all written communications to or from any Governmental Authority relating to the Offer or the Merger and (vii) cooperate and provide each other with a reasonable opportunity to participate in, and consider in good faith the views of the other with respect to, all material deliberations with respect to all efforts to satisfy the conditions set forth in clauses (A) and (C)(1) of Annex A and Section 8.1(b). Any such disclosures, rights to participate or provisions of information by one party to the other may be made on a counsel-only basis to the extent required under applicable Law or to remove references concerning the valuation of the Company.

(c) Each of Parent, Acquisition Sub and the Company shall cooperate with one another in good faith to (i) promptly determine whether any filings not contemplated by Section 7.2(a) are required to be or should be made, and whether any other consents, approvals, permits or authorizations not contemplated by Section 7.2(a) are required to be or should be obtained, from any Governmental Authority under any other applicable Law in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, and (ii) promptly make any filings, furnish information required in connection therewith and seek to obtain timely any such consents, permits, authorizations, approvals or waivers that the parties determine are required to be or should be made or obtained in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby.

Section 7.3. Merger. Following the consummation of the Offer, each of Parent, Acquisition Sub and the Company shall take all necessary and appropriate actions to cause the Merger to become effective as soon as practicable after the Acceptance Time, without a meeting of the Company Stockholders, in accordance with Section 251(h) of the DGCL and upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement. In furtherance, and without limiting the generality, of the foregoing, neither Parent nor Acquisition Sub nor the Company shall, and shall not permit and shall cause their respective Affiliates or Representatives not to, take any action that could render Section 251(h) of the DGCL inapplicable to the Merger.

- 59 -

Section 7.4. Public Statements and Disclosure. None of the Company, on the one hand, or Parent and Acquisition Sub, on the other hand, shall issue (or shall cause its Affiliates or Representatives to issue) any public release or make any public announcement concerning this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), except as such release or announcement is required by applicable Law or the rules or regulations of NASDAQ, in which case the party required to make the release or announcement shall use its reasonable best efforts to allow the other party or parties hereto a reasonable opportunity to comment on such release or announcement in advance of such issuance (it being understood that the final form and content of any such release or announcement, as well as the timing of any such release or announcement, shall be at the final discretion of the disclosing party); provided, however, that the restrictions set forth in this Section 7.4 shall not apply (i) to any release or announcement made or proposed to be made by the Company with respect to the matters addressed in Section 6.2 or (ii) to bring or defend a claim in connection with any dispute between the parties regarding this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

Section 7.5. Anti-Takeover Laws. In the event that any state anti-takeover or other similar Law is or becomes applicable to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Company and Company Board shall grant such approval and take such action as necessary so that such transactions contemplated by this Agreement may be consummated as promptly as practicable on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement and otherwise to minimize the effect of such Law on this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby; provided that nothing in the foregoing shall require the Company Board to take any action that would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law.

Section 7.6. Access. At all times during the period commencing on the date of this Agreement and continuing until the earlier to occur of the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Article IX and the Acceptance Time, the Company shall afford Parent, Acquisition Sub, their officers, a reasonable number of their employees and their financial advisors, business consultants, legal counsel, accountants and other agents and representatives reasonable access during normal business hours, upon reasonable notice, to the properties, books and records, contracts, analyses, tax returns, data, regulatory materials, reports, projections, plans, systems, senior management, commitments, offices and other facilities, properties and personnel of the Company; provided, however, that the Company may restrict or otherwise prohibit access to any documents or information to the extent that (i) any applicable Law requires the Company to restrict or otherwise prohibit access to such documents or information, (ii) granting such access would violate any obligations of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries with respect to confidentiality to any Person or otherwise breach, contravene or violate any then effective Contract to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party, (iii) access to such documents or information would give rise to a risk of waiving any attorney-client privilege, work product doctrine or other applicable privilege applicable to such documents or information, or (iv) access to a Contract to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or otherwise bound would violate or cause a default under, or give a Person the right terminate or accelerate the rights under, such Contract. In the event that the Company does not provide access or information in reliance on the preceding sentence, it shall use its reasonable best efforts to

- 60 -

communicate the applicable information to Parent in a way that would not violate the applicable Law, Contract or obligation or waive such a privilege. Any investigation conducted pursuant to the access contemplated by this Section 7.6 shall be conducted in a manner that does not unreasonably interfere with the conduct of the business of the Company or its Subsidiaries or create a risk of damage or destruction to any property or assets of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. Any access to the properties of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall be subject to the Company’s reasonable security measures and insurance requirements and shall not include the right to perform invasive testing without the Company’s prior written consent, in its sole discretion. The terms and conditions of the Confidentiality Agreement shall apply to any information obtained by Parent or any of its financial advisors, business consultants, legal counsel, accountants and other agents and representatives in connection with any investigation conducted pursuant to the access contemplated by this Section 7.6. Nothing in this Section 7.6 shall be construed to require the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any Representatives of any of the foregoing to prepare any reports, analyses, appraisals, opinions or other information.

Section 7.7. Section 16(b) Exemption. The Company shall take all actions reasonably necessary to cause the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and any other dispositions of equity securities of the Company (including “derivative securities” (as defined in Rule 16a-1(c) under the Exchange Act)) in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement by each individual who is a director or executive officer of the Company to be exempt under Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act.

Section 7.8. Directors’ and Officers’ Indemnification and Insurance.

(a) The Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries as of the Effective Time shall (and, Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries as of the Effective Time to) honor and fulfill in all respects the obligations of the Company and its Subsidiaries under (i) the indemnification agreements between the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and any of their respective current or former directors and officers and any person who becomes a director or officer of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries prior to the Effective Time (the “Indemnified Persons”), and (ii) indemnification, expense advancement and exculpation provisions in any certificate of incorporate or bylaws or comparable organizational document of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in effect on the date of this Agreement. In addition, during the period commencing at the Effective Time and ending on the sixth (6th) anniversary of the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries as of the Effective Time shall (and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries as of the Effective Time to) cause the certificates of incorporation and bylaws (and other similar organizational documents) of the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries as of the Acceptance Time to contain provisions with respect to indemnification, exculpation and the advancement of expenses that are no less favorable than the indemnification, exculpation and advancement of expenses provisions contained in the certificates of incorporation and bylaws (or other similar organizational documents) of the Company and its Subsidiaries as of the date hereof, and during such six (6) year period, such provisions shall not be repealed, amended or otherwise modified in any manner except as required by applicable Law or as provided below.

(b) Without limiting the generality of the provisions of Section 7.8(a), during the period commencing at the Effective Time and ending on the sixth (6th) anniversary of the

- 61 -

Effective Time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries as of the Effective Time shall (and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries as of the Effective Time to) indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnified Person from and against any costs, fees and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and investigation expenses), judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages, Liabilities and amounts paid in settlement in connection with any claim, proceeding, investigation or inquiry, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, to the extent such claim, proceeding, investigation or inquiry arises directly or indirectly out of or pertains directly or indirectly to (i) any action or omission or alleged action or omission in such Indemnified Person’s capacity as a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or other Affiliates (regardless of whether such action or omission, or alleged action or omission, occurred prior to or at the Effective Time), or (ii) any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. In addition, during the period commencing at the Effective Time and ending on the sixth (6th) anniversary of the Effective Time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries as of the Effective Time shall (and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries as of the Effective Time to) advance, prior to the final disposition of any claim, proceeding, investigation or inquiry for which indemnification may be sought under this Agreement, promptly following request by an Indemnified Person therefor, all costs, fees and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and investigation expenses) incurred by such Indemnified Person in connection with any such claim, proceeding, investigation or inquiry upon receipt of an undertaking by such Indemnified Person to repay such advances if it is ultimately decided in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction that such Indemnified Person is not entitled to indemnification hereunder. If, at any time prior to the sixth (6th) anniversary of the Effective Time, any Indemnified Person delivers to Parent a written notice asserting in good faith a claim for indemnification or advancement of expenses under this Section 7.8(b), then the claim asserted in such notice shall survive the sixth (6th) anniversary of the Effective Time until such time as such claim is fully and finally resolved. In the event of any such claim, proceeding, investigation or inquiry, (i) the Surviving Corporation shall have the right to control the defense thereof after the Acceptance Time, (ii) each Indemnified Person shall be entitled to retain his or her own counsel, whether or not the Surviving Corporation shall elect to control the defense of any such claim, proceeding, investigation or inquiry, (iii) the Surviving Corporation shall pay all reasonable fees and expenses of any counsel retained by an Indemnified Person, promptly after statements therefor are received, whether or not the Surviving Corporation shall elect to control the defense of any such claim, proceeding, investigation or inquiry, and (iv) no Indemnified Person shall be liable for any settlement effected without his or her prior express written consent. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 7.8(b) or elsewhere in this Agreement, neither the Surviving Corporation nor any of its Affiliates (including Parent) shall settle or otherwise compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment or otherwise seek termination with respect to any claim, proceeding, investigation or inquiry for which indemnification may be sought by an Indemnified Person under this Agreement unless such settlement, compromise, consent or termination includes an unconditional release of all Indemnified Persons from all liability arising out of such claim, proceeding, investigation or inquiry.

(c) During the period commencing at the Effective Time and ending on the sixth (6th) anniversary of the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall (and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to) maintain in effect directors’ and officers’ liability insurance

- 62 -

in respect of acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Effective Time, covering each person covered by the Company’s currently in force directors’ and officers’ (provided that Parent may substitute therefor policies with reputable and financially sound carriers of at least the same coverage and amounts containing term and conditions which are no less advantageous) liability insurance (“Current Company D&O Insurance”), on terms with respect to the coverage and amounts that are no less favorable than those of the Current Company D&O Insurance; provided, however, that in satisfying its obligations under this Section 7.8(c), Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall not be obligated to pay annual premiums in excess of three hundred percent (300%) of the annual amount paid by the Company for coverage during its current coverage period (such three hundred percent (300%) amount, the “Maximum Annual Premium”); provided that, if the annual premiums of such insurance coverage exceed such amount, Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall be obligated to obtain a policy with the greatest coverage available for the Maximum Annual Premium. Prior to the Effective Time, notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, the Company may purchase a six (6) year “tail” prepaid policy on the Current Company D&O Insurance. In the event that the Company elects to purchase such a “tail” policy prior to the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall (and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to) maintain such “tail” policy in full force and effect and continue to honor their respective obligations thereunder, in lieu of all other obligations of Parent and the Surviving Corporation under the first sentence of this Section 7.8(c) for so long as such “tail” policy shall be maintained in full force and effect.

(d) In the event that Parent or the Surviving Corporation (or any of its successors or assigns) (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and is not the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger, or (ii) transfers or conveys all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, in each such case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall assume all of the obligations thereof set forth in this Section 7.8.

Section 7.9. Employee Matters.

(a) Parent hereby acknowledges that a “change of control” (or similar phrase) within the meaning of the Plans, as applicable, will occur as of the Acceptance Time, as applicable. Parent shall or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to assume, honor, and/or provide all of the Company’s severance and change in control obligations in accordance with their terms as in effect immediately prior to the date of this Agreement.

(b) Except to the extent prohibited by applicable Laws, for a period of twelve (12) months following the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall (and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to) provide to each Continuing Employee (i) a base salary or wage rate, as applicable, and annual cash bonus opportunity that is not less favorable than the base salary or wage rate (as applicable) and annual bonus opportunity provided to such Continuing Employee immediately prior to the Effective Time and (ii) other compensation and benefits (as described in Section 4.11 of the Company Disclosure Letter (including severance, benefits and the cash value of any equity based compensation) but excluding (y) any equity-based compensation (other than the cash value of any equity-based compensation) and (z) benefits provided pursuant to any defined benefit pension plans) that are, taken as a whole, at least as favorable in the aggregate to the other compensation and benefits described in Section

- 63 -

4.11 of the Company Disclosure Letter provided to such Continuing Employee immediately prior to the Effective Time.

(c) From and after the Closing, Parent shall provide, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation or any of their Subsidiaries to provide, each Continuing Employee with full credit for all service with the Company and its Subsidiaries prior to the Effective Time for all purposes, including eligibility to participate, vesting and entitlement to benefits where length of service is relevant, under any employee benefit plans, arrangements, collective agreements and employment-related entitlements (including under any applicable pension, 401(k), savings, medical, dental, life insurance, vacation, long-service leave or other leave entitlements, post-retirement health and life insurance, termination indemnity, severance or separation pay plans) provided, sponsored, maintained or contributed to by Parent or any of its Subsidiaries to the same extent recognized by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries under the Plans; provided, however, that such service need not be credited to the extent that it would result in duplication of coverage or benefits, it was not recognized under the corresponding Plan or to the extent it is prohibited by applicable Law. In addition, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Parent shall (or shall cause the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries to) ensure that (i) each Continuing Employee shall be immediately eligible to participate, without any waiting time, in any and all employee benefit plans sponsored by Parent, the Surviving Corporation and their Subsidiaries in which the Continuing Employees participate to the extent coverage under any such plan replaces coverage under a comparable Plan in which such Continuing Employee participates immediately before the Effective Time; and (ii) for purposes of each plan providing medical, dental, pharmaceutical, vision and/or disability benefits to any Continuing Employee, all waiting periods, pre-existing condition exclusions, evidence of insurability requirements and actively-at-work or similar requirements of such plan will be waived for such Continuing Employee and his or her covered dependents, and full credit will be given for any eligible expenses incurred by such Continuing Employee and his or her covered dependents during any unfinished portion of the plan year ending on the date such employee’s participation in the corresponding new plan begins for purposes of satisfying all deductible, coinsurance and maximum out-of-pocket requirements applicable to such Continuing Employee and his or her covered dependents for the applicable plan year as if such amounts had been paid in accordance with such new plan, and (iii) the accounts of such Continuing Employees under any new plan that is a flexible spending plan are credited with any unused balance in the account of such Continuing Employee under the applicable plan; provided, however, that such service need not be credited to the extent that it would result in duplication of coverage or benefits or to the extent it is prohibited by applicable Law.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, no provision of this Agreement shall be deemed to (i) guarantee employment for any period of time for, or preclude the ability of Parent or the Surviving Corporation to terminate, any Continuing Employee for any reason, or (ii) require Parent or the Surviving Corporation to continue any Plan or prevent the amendment, modification or termination thereof after the Effective Time. The provisions of this Section 7.9 are solely for the benefit of the parties to this Agreement, and no Continuing Employee (including any beneficiary or dependent thereof) shall be regarded for any purpose as a third party beneficiary of this Agreement, and no provision of this Section 7.9 shall create such rights in any such persons. With respect to matters described in this Section 7.9, the Company will not send any written notices or other written communication materials to

(b) At all times during the period commencing with the execution and delivery of this Agreement and continuing until the earlier to occur of the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Article IX and the Effective Time, Parent shall give prompt notice to the Company upon becoming aware that any representation or warranty made by Parent or Acquisition Sub in this Agreement has become untrue or inaccurate in any material respect, or of any failure of Parent or Acquisition Sub to comply with or satisfy in any material respect any covenant, condition or agreement to be complied with or satisfied by it under this Agreement, in any such case if and only to the extent that such untruth or inaccuracy, or such failure, would reasonably be expected to prevent, materially delay or materially impair the ability of Parent and Acquisition Sub to consummate the Merger and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including the Offer and the Merger) or the ability of Parent and Acquisition Sub to fully perform their respective covenants and obligations under this Agreement; provided, however, that no such notification shall affect or be deemed to modify any representation or warranty of Parent or Acquisition Sub set forth in this Agreement or the conditions to the obligations of the Company to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the remedies available to the parties hereunder; and provided further, that the terms and conditions of the Confidentiality Agreement shall apply to any information provided to the Company pursuant to this Section 7.11(b).

The Company shall give Parent the opportunity to consult with the Company regarding the defense or settlement of any such stockholder litigation and no such settlement in excess of $100,000 shall be agreed to without Parent’s prior consent (which shall be not unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

Section 7.13. Rule 14d-10(d) Exemption. Prior to the Acceptance Time, the Company (acting through the compensation committee of the Company Board) shall take all such steps as may be required to cause each agreement, arrangement or understanding entered into by the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company on or after the date hereof with any of its officers, directors or employees pursuant to which consideration is paid to such officer, director or employee to be approved as an “employment compensation, severance or other employee benefit arrangement” within the meaning of Rule 14d-10(d)(1) under the Exchange Act and to satisfy the requirements of the non-exclusive safe harbor set forth in Rule 14d-10(d) under the Exchange Act.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company agrees that none of the Financing Sources, nor any of their respective Affiliates, will have any liability to the Company or any of its Affiliates, relating to or arising out of this Agreement, the Debt Financing or in respect of any other document or theory of law or equity or in respect of any oral representations made or alleged to be made in connection herewith or therewith, whether at law or equity in contract, in tort or otherwise; provided, however, nothing in this Section 7.16 shall in any way limit the liability of Parent or Acquisition Sub in connection with this Agreement.

Section 7.17. Amendment to Rights Agreement. The Company Board will take all action so that the execution, delivery, announcement or performance of this Agreement, the making or the consummation of the Offer and the consummation of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby will not cause any change, effect or result under the Rights Agreement which is adverse to the interests of Parent.

In addition to the foregoing, no termination of this Agreement shall affect the obligations of the parties hereto set forth in the Confidentiality Agreement, all of which obligations shall survive termination of this Agreement in accordance with their terms.

(e) Consequence of Non-Payment. The Company acknowledges that the agreements contained in Section 9.4(b) are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and that, without these agreements, Parent would not enter into this Agreement; accordingly, if the Company fails to promptly pay the amount due pursuant to Section 9.4(b) and, in order to obtain such payment, Parent commences a suit that results in a judgment against the Company for the Termination Fee, the Company shall pay to Parent its costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) in connection with such suit, together with interest at a rate per annum equal to the prime lending rate prevailing during the period as published in The Wall Street Journal.

forth herein, (a) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the other party or parties hereto, as applicable, (b) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties made to such party or parties hereto contained herein or in any document delivered pursuant hereto and (c) waive compliance with any of the agreements or conditions for the benefit of such party or parties hereto contained herein. Any agreement on the part of a party or parties hereto to any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed on behalf of such party or parties, as applicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Section 7.16, Section 9.5, this Section 9.6, Section 10.3, Section 10.6, Section 10.8, and Section 10.9, may not be waived in any manner, whether by course of conduct or otherwise in a way that would reasonably be expected to be adverse to the Financing Sources, except by an instrument in writing signed by the Agent (as such term is defined in the applicable Debt Financing Documents) (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

(b) The parties hereto hereby agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any provision of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with its specific terms or were otherwise breached, and that money damages or other legal remedies would not be an adequate remedy for any such damages.
