1.7 Exchange of Certificates.

(a) As promptly as practicable after the Effective Time (but in any event within sixty (60) days following the Effective Time), Parent shall cause the shares of Parent Common Stock issuable pursuant to Section 1.5(a)(i) to be issued in certificated or book-entry form at Parent’s election.

(b) As promptly as practicable after the Effective Time, Parent will mail or otherwise provide to the Persons who were record holders of Company Capital Stock immediately prior to the Effective Time instructions for use in effecting the surrender of Company Stock Certificates in exchange for book-entry or certificated shares representing Parent Common Stock; provided, however, that, at the Company’s discretion, such instructions may be provided to record holders of Company Capital Stock by the Company prior to the Effective Time. Upon surrender of a Company Stock Certificate to Parent for exchange, together with such other documents as may be reasonably required by Parent: (A) the holder of such Company Stock Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor, book-entry or certificated shares representing the number of whole shares of Parent Common Stock that such holder has the right to receive pursuant to the provisions of Section 1.5(a)(i); and (B) the Company Stock Certificate so surrendered shall be canceled. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section

4.

1.7(b), each Company Stock Certificate shall be deemed, from and after the Effective Time, to represent only the right to receive shares of Parent Common Stock pursuant to the provisions of Section 1.5(a)(i). If any Company Stock Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, Parent may, in its discretion and as a condition to the issuance of any book-entry or certificated shares representing Parent Common Stock, require the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed Company Stock Certificate to provide an appropriate lost affidavit with respect to such Company Stock Certificate.

(c) No dividends or other distributions declared or made with respect to Parent Common Stock with a record date after the Effective Time shall be paid or otherwise delivered to the holder of any unsurrendered Company Stock Certificate with respect to the shares of Parent Common Stock that such holder has the right to receive in the Merger until such holder surrenders such Company Stock Certificate in accordance with this Section 1.7 (at which time such holder shall be entitled, subject to the effect of applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar laws, to receive all such dividends and distributions, without interest).

(d) Any holders of Company Stock Certificates who have not surrendered their Company Stock Certificates in accordance with this Section 1.7 as of the date 180 days after the date on which the Merger becomes effective shall thereafter look only to Parent for satisfaction of their claims for shares of Parent Common Stock pursuant to the provisions of Section 1.5(a)(i) and any dividends or distributions with respect to shares of Parent Common Stock.

(e) Each of Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any consideration payable or otherwise deliverable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as may be required to be deducted or withheld from such consideration under the Code or any provision of state, local or non-U.S. Tax law or under any other applicable Legal Requirement. To the extent such amounts are so deducted or withheld and paid to or deposited with the appropriate Governmental Body, 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. Parent shall take commercially reasonable efforts to reduce or eliminate any required withholding.

(f) Neither Parent nor the Surviving Corporation shall be liable to any holder or former holder of Company Common Stock or to any other Person with respect to any shares of Parent Common Stock (or dividends or distributions with respect thereto), or for any cash amounts, delivered to any public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property law, escheat law or other similar Legal Requirement.

1.8 Tax Consequences. For federal income tax purposes, the Merger is intended to constitute (a) a transaction described in Section 351 of the Code or (b) a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368 of the Code, and the parties will report the Merger as such for U.S. federal, state and local income tax purposes. None of the parties will knowingly take any action, or fail to take any action, which action or failure to act would cause the Merger neither to qualify as a transaction described in Section 351 of the Code nor to qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368 of the Code. The parties to this Agreement adopt this Agreement as a “plan of reorganization” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Sections 1.368-2(g) and 1.368-3(a).

1.9 Appraisal Rights.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, any shares of Company Capital Stock that, as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, are held by holders who have as of such time preserved appraisal rights under Section 262 of the DGCL or dissenters’ rights under Chapter 13 of the CCC with respect to such shares shall not be converted into or represent

5.

the right to receive shares of Parent Common Stock in accordance with Section 1.5(a)(i), and the holder or holders of such shares shall be entitled only to such rights as may be granted to such holder or holders pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL or Chapter 13 of the CCC, as applicable; provided, however, that if such appraisal rights shall not be perfected or the holders of such shares shall otherwise lose their appraisal rights with respect to such shares, then, as of the later of the Effective Time or the time of the failure to perfect such status or the loss of such rights, such shares shall automatically be converted into and shall represent only the right to receive (upon the surrender of such holder’s Company Stock Certificate(s) in accordance with Section 1.7) shares of Parent Common Stock in accordance with Section 1.5(a)(i).

1.10 Further Action. If, at any time after the Effective Time, any further action is determined by Parent or the Surviving Corporation to be necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement or to vest the Surviving Corporation with full right, title and possession of and to all rights and property of Merger Sub and the Company, the officers and directors of the Surviving Corporation and Parent shall be fully authorized (in the name of Merger Sub, in the name of the Company and otherwise) to take such action.

Prior to the Effective Time, Parent owns all of the equity interests of Merger Sub.

(t) Neither Parent nor Merger Sub is an investment company as defined in Sections 368(a)(2)(F)(iii) and (iv) of the Code.

(iii) The Company Stockholders will surrender their Company Capital Stock solely in exchange for the Parent Common Stock to be issued pursuant to the Merger. No liabilities of the Company Stockholders will be assumed by Parent or Merger Sub, nor will any shares of Company Capital Stock be acquired subject to any liabilities.

(iv) Parent has no present plan or intention: (A) to liquidate the Company or to merge the Company into another entity; (B) to sell or otherwise dispose of any stock in the Company held by Parent except in connection with a transaction described in Section 368(a)(2)(C) of the Code; or (C) to sell or otherwise dispose of, or to cause the Company to sell or otherwise dispose of, any of the Company’s assets (including any of the assets of Merger Sub acquired in the Merger), except for (x) dispositions in connection with a transaction described in Section 368(a)(2)(C) of the Code or (y) dispositions in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practices, provided that, after such dispositions in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practices, the representations set forth in Section 3.7(z)(v) would continue to be accurate.

(v) Parent does not and Parent will not at the Effective Time have a plan or intention to substantially dispose of or discontinue the Company’s trade or business in a manner that would cause the requirements of Treasury Regulation Section 1.368-1(d) to fail to be satisfied.

Parent has no plan or intention to cause or permit the Company to issue additional ownership interests (including options, warrants and convertible securities) to any person or entity (other than Parent or pursuant to a transaction described in Section 368(a)(2)(C) of the Code). Immediately after the Merger, the Company will have no outstanding warrants, options, convertible securities or any other type of right pursuant to which any person could acquire interests in the Company that, if exercised or converted, would result in Parent losing control of the Company within the meaning of Section 368(c) of the Code.

(vii) Neither Parent nor Merger Sub has any plan or intention to sell or otherwise dispose of any of the assets of the Company acquired in the Merger, except for dispositions made in the ordinary course of business or transfers described in Section 368(a)(2)(C) of the Code.

No event has occurred, and no condition or circumstance exists, that might directly or indirectly give rise to or provide a basis for the commencement of any such slowdown, work stoppage, labor dispute or union organizing activity or any similar activity or dispute. There are no actions, suits, claims, labor disputes or grievances pending or, to the knowledge of Parent, threatened or reasonably anticipated relating to any labor, safety or discrimination matters involving any employee of Parent, including charges of unfair labor practices or discrimination complaints

(e) Parent and each Parent Affiliate have performed all material obligations required to be performed by them under each Parent Employee Plan and Parent Employee Agreement. Neither Parent nor any Parent Affiliate is in default or violation of, and Parent has no knowledge of any default or violation by any other party to, the terms of any Parent Employee Plan or Parent Employee Agreement. Each Parent Employee Plan and Parent Employee Agreement has been established and maintained substantially in accordance with its terms and in substantial compliance with all applicable Legal Requirements, including ERISA and the Code. Any Parent Employee Plan intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code has obtained a favorable determination letter (or opinion letter, if applicable) as to its qualified status under the Code and incorporates or has been amended to incorporate all provisions required to comply with the Tax Reform Act of 1986 and all subsequent legislation.

Each Parent Employee Plan can be amended, terminated or otherwise discontinued after the Closing in accordance with its terms, without liability to the Company, Parent or any Parent Affiliate (other than ordinary administration expenses), subject to applicable Legal Requirements. There are no audits, inquiries or Legal Proceedings pending or, to the knowledge of Parent, threatened by the IRS, the DOL, or any other Governmental Body with respect to any Parent Employee Plan or Parent Employee Agreement. Neither Parent nor any Parent Affiliate has ever incurred any penalty or tax with respect to any Parent Employee Plan under Section 502(i) of ERISA, under Sections 4975 through 4980 of the Code or under any other applicable Legal

No stock right (as defined in U.S. Treasury Department regulation 1.409A-1(l)) has been granted to any Parent Associate that (i) has an exercise price that has been or may be less than the fair market value of the underlying equity as of the date such option or right was granted, as determined by the board of directors of Parent in good faith, (ii) has any feature for the deferral of compensation other than the deferral of recognition of income until the later of exercise or disposition of such option or rights, or (iii) has been granted after December 31, 2004, with respect to any class of stock that is not “service recipient stock” (within the meaning of applicable regulations under Section 409A of the Code).

(h) Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby (either alone or in connection with any other event, including any termination of employment or service) will (i) result in any payment (including severance, golden parachute, bonus or otherwise), becoming due to any Parent Associate under any Parent Employee Plan or Parent Employee Agreement, (ii) result in any forgiveness of indebtedness, (iii) materially increase any benefits otherwise payable by Parent under any Parent Employee Plan or Parent Employee Agreement, (iv) result in the acceleration of the time of payment or vesting of any such benefits except as required under Section 411(d)(3) of the Code or (v) be reasonably likely to result in any payment to any Parent Associate being non-deductible by virtue of Section 280G or Section 4999 of the Code. No Parent Employee Plan or Parent Employee Agreement gives rise to any potential “excess parachute payments” (within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code) payable Parent in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, either as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or in conjunction with any other event.

(i) No Parent Employee Plan provides (except at no cost to Parent or any Parent Affiliate), or reflects or represents any liability of any of Parent or any Parent Affiliate to provide, retiree life insurance, retiree health benefits or other retiree employee welfare benefits to any Person for any reason, except as may be required by COBRA or other applicable Legal Requirements.

15.

(j) Except as expressly required or provided by this Agreement, neither the execution or delivery of this Agreement nor the consummation of any of the Contemplated Transactions will (either alone or upon the occurrence of any additional or subsequent events) constitute an event under any Parent Employee Plan, Parent Employee Agreement, trust or loan that will or may result (either alone or in connection with any other circumstance or event) in any payment (whether of severance pay or otherwise), acceleration of any right, obligation or benefit, forgiveness of indebtedness, vesting, distribution, increase in benefits or obligation to fund benefits with respect to any Parent Employee.

(k) Neither Parent nor any Parent Affiliate: (i) has violated or otherwise failed to comply with any Legal Requirement respecting employment, employment practices, terms and conditions of employment or wages and hours, including the health care continuation requirements of COBRA, the requirements of FMLA, the requirements of HIPAA and the provisions of any similar Legal Requirement; (ii) has failed to withhold or report any amounts required by applicable Legal Requirements or by Contract to be withheld or reported with respect to wages, salaries and other payments to Parent Employees; (iii) is liable for any arrears of wages or any taxes or any penalty for failure to comply with the Legal Requirements applicable to any of the foregoing; and (iv) is liable for any payment to any trust or other fund governed by or maintained by or on behalf of any Governmental Body with respect to unemployment compensation benefits, social security or other benefits or obligations for Parent Employees (other than routine payments to be made in the normal course of business and consistent with past practice).

(l) To the knowledge of Parent, no stockholder of Parent, and no current Parent Associate, is obligated under any Contract or subject to any Order that would interfere with such Person’s efforts to promote the interests of Parent or that would interfere with the businesses of Parent or any Parent Affiliate. Neither the execution nor the delivery of this Agreement, nor the carrying on of the business of Parent or any Parent Affiliate as presently conducted nor any activity of such stockholder or current Parent Associate in connection with the carrying on of the business of Parent or any Parent Affiliate as presently conducted will, to the knowledge of Parent, conflict with, result in a breach of the terms, conditions or provisions of, or constitute a default under, any Contract under which any of such stockholders or current Parent Associate has any rights or obligations.

To the knowledge of Parent, no event has occurred, and no claim, dispute or other condition or circumstance exists, that would reasonably be expected to give rise to or serve as a basis for the commencement of any Legal Proceeding of the type described in clause “(i)” or clause “(ii)” of the first sentence of this Section 3.9(a).

(b) There is no Order to which Parent, or any of the assets owned or used by Parent, is subject.

SECTION 4. CERTAIN COVENANTS OF THE PARTIES

The Company has solicited or obtained or shall solicit and obtain, by the Company Written Consent in lieu of a meeting pursuant to Section 228 of the DGCL, the Required Company Stockholder Vote for purposes of, (i) adopting this Agreement and approving the Merger, and all other transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) acknowledging that the approval given thereby is irrevocable and that such holder of Company Capital Stock is aware of its rights to demand appraisal for its shares pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL and that such holder of Company Capital Stock has received and read a copy of Section 262 of the DGCL and (iii) acknowledging that by its approval of the Merger it is not entitled to appraisal rights with respect to its shares in connection with the Merger and thereby waives any rights to receive payment of the fair value of its Company Capital Stock under the DGCL.

4.2 Stock Options; Assumption of Company Option Plan; Company Warrants.

(a) At the Effective Time, without any action on the part of Parent, the Company or the holders of Company Options, except as otherwise required by applicable Legal Requirements, each Company Option that is unexpired, unexercised and outstanding as of the Effective Time, whether vested or unvested, shall, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, be assumed by Parent (an “Assumed Company Option”) in accordance with the terms of the applicable Company Option Plan, and Parent’s board of directors (as constituted pursuant to Exhibit C) or a duly authorized committee thereof shall succeed to the authority and responsibility of the Company’s board of directors or any committee thereof with respect to each Assumed Company Option. Each Assumed Company Option will continue to have, and be subject to the same terms and conditions of such Company Option (including the terms and conditions of any applicable stock option agreement or other document evidencing such Company Option, if any) immediately prior to the Effective Time (including any repurchase rights or vesting provisions, if applicable), except that (i) each Assumed Company Option will be exercisable (or will become exercisable in accordance with its terms) solely for a number of whole shares of Parent Common Stock equal to the number of shares of Company Common Stock that would be issuable upon exercise of the Assumed Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time, and (ii) the per share exercise price for the Parent Common Stock issuable upon exercise of such Assumed

18.

Company Option will be equal to the per share exercise price for such Assumed Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time. Each Assumed Company Option shall be vested immediately following the Effective Time as to the same percentage of the total number of shares subject thereto as it was vested as to immediately prior to the Effective Time. Consistent with the terms of the Company Option Plans and the documents governing the outstanding options under such plan as in effect on the date of this Agreement, the Merger shall not terminate any of the outstanding Company Options held under such plan or accelerate the exercisability or vesting of such options or the shares of Parent Common Stock that shall be subject to those options upon Parent’s assumption of the Company Options in the Merger. Each Assumed Company Option shall, in accordance with its terms and the applicable Company Option Plan, be subject to further adjustment as determined in the reasonable discretion of Parent’s board of directors to reflect any stock split, division or subdivision of shares, stock dividend, reverse stock split, consolidation of shares, reclassification, recapitalization or other similar transaction subsequent to the Effective Time. It is the intent of the parties hereto that to the extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, all Assumed Company Options in respect of Company Options that prior to the Effective Time were treated as incentive or nonstatutory stock options under the Code shall from and after the Effective Time continue to be treated as incentive or nonstatutory stock options, respectively, under the Code. The adjustments provided in this Section 4.2 with respect to any Company Options, whether or not they are incentive stock options as defined in Section 422 of the Code, are intended to be effected in a manner which is consistent with Sections 424(a) and 409A of the Code.

(b) As soon as reasonably practicable following the date hereof and conditional upon the Effective Time, the board of directors of the Company shall make all determinations reasonably necessary under each Company Option Plan to accomplish the transactions contemplated by this Section 4.2 and, to the extent necessary and practicable, to reflect the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the Merger. As soon as reasonably practicable following the Effective Time, Parent may issue to each holder of an Assumed Company Option a document evidencing the assumption of the applicable Company Option by Parent as contemplated by this Section 4.2. Parent shall take all corporate action reasonably necessary to reserve for issuance a sufficient number of shares of Parent Common Stock for delivery upon exercise of the Assumed Company Options pursuant to the terms set forth in this Section 4.2 and shall, from and after the Effective Time, honor the obligations of the Company to the holders of Assumed Company Options under each Company Option Plan.

(c) At the Effective Time, Parent will assume the Company’s Option Plan (the “Assumed Company Option Plan”), as amended to date, and be able to grant stock awards, to the extent permissible by applicable Legal Requirements, under the terms of the Assumed Company Option Plan to issue the reserved but unissued shares of Company Common Stock under the Assumed Company Option Plan. The shares subject to the unexercised portions of any award granted thereunder that expires, terminates or is canceled, and shares of Company Common Stock issued pursuant to an award that are reacquired by Parent pursuant to the terms of the award under which such shares were issued that would otherwise return to the Assumed Company Option Plan pursuant to their respective terms, will return and may be used for awards to be granted under the Assumed Company Option Plan, except that (i) shares of Company Common Stock covered by such awards will be shares of Parent Common Stock and (ii) all references to a number of shares of Company Common Stock will be (A) changed to reference Parent Common Stock and (B) converted to a number of shares of Parent Common Stock equal to the product of the number of shares of Company Common Stock multiplied by the Option Exchange Ratio, rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares of Parent Common Stock. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary shall take any action that would otherwise preclude Parent from being able to grant awards under the Assumed Company Option Plan, including adopting resolutions to terminate the Assumed Company Option Plan.

19.

(d) At the Effective Time, without any action on the part of Parent, the Company or the holders of Company Warrants, except as otherwise required by applicable Legal Requirements, each Company Warrant that is unexpired, unexercised and outstanding as of the Effective Time, whether vested or unvested, shall, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, be assumed by Parent (an “Assumed Company Warrant”) and Parent’s board of directors (as constituted pursuant to Exhibit C) or a duly authorized committee thereof shall succeed to the authority and responsibility of the Company’s board of directors or any committee thereof with respect to each Assumed Company Warrant. Each Assumed Company Warrant will continue to have, and be subject to the same terms and conditions of such Company Warrant (including the terms and conditions of any applicable warrant agreement or other document evidencing such Company Warrant, if any) immediately prior to the Effective Time (including any repurchase rights or vesting provisions, if applicable), except that (i) each Assumed Company Warrant will be exercisable (or will become exercisable in accordance with its terms) solely for a number of whole shares of Parent Common Stock equal to the number of shares of Company Common Stock that would be issuable upon exercise of the Assumed Company Warrant immediately prior to the Effective Time, and (ii) the per share exercise price for the Parent Common Stock issuable upon exercise of such Assumed Company Warrant will be equal to the per share exercise price for such Assumed Company Warrant immediately prior to the Effective Time. Each Assumed Company Warrant shall be vested immediately following the Effective Time as to the same percentage of the total number of shares subject thereto as it was vested as to immediately prior to the Effective Time. Consistent with the terms of the documents governing the Company Warrants as in effect on the date of this Agreement, the Merger shall not terminate any of the outstanding Company Warrants or accelerate the exercisability or vesting of such Company Warrants or the shares of Parent Common Stock that shall be subject to the Company Warrants upon Parent’s assumption thereof in the Merger. Each Assumed Company Warrant shall, in accordance with its terms, be subject to further adjustment as pursuant to its terms and provisions to reflect any stock split, division or subdivision of shares, stock dividend, reverse stock split, consolidation of shares, reclassification, recapitalization or other similar transaction subsequent to the Effective Time.

(e) Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall take all actions that may be necessary (under the Company Option Plan and otherwise) to effectuate the provisions of this Section 4.2 and to ensure that, from and after the Effective Time, holders of Company Options have no rights with respect thereto other than those specifically provided in this Section 4.2.
