AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER

THIS AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER, dated as of November 7, 2011 (this “Agreement”), is by and among General Dynamics Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), Falcon Acquisition Corp., a Nevada corporation and a wholly-owned Subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), and Force Protection, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”).

RECITALS

A. The board of directors of the Company (the “Company Board”) and the respective boards of directors of Parent and Merger Sub have determined that it is in the best interests of their respective companies and stockholders to enter into the transactions provided for herein, and have approved the acquisition by Parent of the Company through the consummation of the Offer (as defined below), the Top-Up Option (as defined below), the Merger (as defined below) and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement;

B. In furtherance of such acquisition, Parent, Merger Sub and the Company have proposed that, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, Merger Sub shall commence a tender offer (as amended or supplemented in accordance with this Agreement, the “Offer”) to purchase for cash all of the shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company (the “Company Shares”) that are issued and outstanding at a price per Company Share of $5.52 in cash, without interest (such price, or such other price per Company Share as may be paid in the Offer in accordance with the terms hereof, the “Offer Price”);

C. Regardless of whether the Acceptance Time (as defined below) occurs, Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company (the “Merger”), upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, whereby, except as expressly provided in Section 4.1, each issued and outstanding Company Share immediately prior to the Effective Time (as defined below) of the Merger will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive an amount equal to the Offer Price; and

D. The Company Board and the board of directors of Merger Sub have adopted, and the board of directors of Parent has approved and declared the advisability of, this Agreement, the Offer, the Top-Up Option, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, and the Company Board and the board of directors of Merger Sub have recommended this Agreement to their respective stockholders.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the respective representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained herein, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:

ARTICLE 1
THE OFFER

1.1 The Offer.

(a) Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, and so long as none of the events or circumstances set forth in subsections (c)(i) through (c)(iv) of Annex A hereto shall have occurred and be continuing, Parent shall cause Merger Sub as promptly as practicable (and in any event on or before the close of business on November 18, 2011) to commence (within the meaning of Rule 14d-2 under the Exchange Act) the Offer at the Offer Price. The obligations of Merger Sub to, and of Parent to cause Merger Sub to, accept for payment and to pay for Company Shares validly tendered pursuant to the Offer and not withdrawn prior to the applicable Expiration Date shall be subject solely to those conditions set forth in Annex A. The conditions to the Offer set forth on Annex A are only for the benefit of Parent and Merger Sub and may be asserted or waived only by Parent and Merger Sub, in whole or in part, in their sole discretion; provided, however, that without the prior written consent of the Company, Parent and Merger Sub shall not waive the Minimum Condition or the HSR Condition. Merger Sub expressly reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to modify the terms and conditions of the Offer; provided, however, that without the prior written consent of the Company, no modification or change may be made that (i) decreases the Offer Price (except as permitted by this Agreement), (ii) changes the form of consideration payable in the Offer (other than by adding cash consideration), (iii) changes the Minimum Condition, (iv) reduces or limits the number of Company Shares sought pursuant to the Offer, (v) changes the conditions set forth in Annex A hereto in a manner adverse to the holders of any of the Company Shares, (vi) adds any additional conditions to the Offer that are not set forth in Annex A, (vii) extends the Offer except as provided in Section 1.1(b) or (viii) otherwise amends, modifies or changes the Offer in a manner that is adverse to the holders of any of the Company Shares.

(b) The expiration date and time of the Offer shall be midnight, New York City time, on the twentieth (20th) business day following the commencement of the Offer (as determined using Rule 14d-1(g)(3) under the Exchange Act) (the “Initial Expiration Date”) or, if the Initial Expiration Date has been extended in accordance with this Agreement, such later date and time to which the Offer has been extended (the Initial Expiration Date, or such later date and time to which the Initial Expiration Date has been extended in accordance with this Agreement, the “Expiration Date”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Merger Sub shall (and Parent shall cause Merger Sub to), (i) if at the then-scheduled Expiration Date any of the conditions set forth in Annex A shall not be satisfied (and, if permitted to be waived by Parent and Merger Sub by Section 1.1(a), not waived by Parent and Merger Sub), extend and re-extend the Offer on one or more occasions for one or more additional periods of up to five (5) Business Days each (the length of each such increment to be determined by Merger Sub) and (ii) extend and re-extend the Offer for any period required by any Law or by any interpretation or position of the SEC or the staff thereof applicable to the Offer; provided, that (i) if the Proxy Statement Clearance Date has occurred on or prior to January 5, 2012, then no such extension shall be required after January 5, 2012 and (ii) if the Proxy Statement Clearance Date has not occurred on or prior to January 5, 2012 (and any of the conditions set forth in Annex A shall not be satisfied (and, if permitted to be waived by Parent and Merger Sub by Section 1.1(a), not waived by Parent and Merger Sub)), then either Parent or the Company may request, and upon such request, Merger Sub shall extend

and re-extend the Offer on as many occasions as requested for one or more additional periods of up to five (5) Business Days each (the length of each such increment to be determined by Merger Sub) until the Proxy Statement Clearance Date. “Proxy Statement Clearance Date” means the date on which the SEC has, orally or in writing, confirmed that it has no further comments on the Proxy Statement, including the first date following the tenth (10th) calendar day following the filing of the preliminary Proxy Statement if the SEC has not informed the Company that it intends to review the Proxy Statement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Merger Sub shall not be required to (and Parent shall not be required to cause Merger Sub to) extend the Offer beyond the Outside Date. Furthermore, (i) Merger Sub may in its sole discretion elect to provide for a “subsequent offering period” pursuant to, and in accordance with, Rule 14d-11 under the Exchange Act (a “Subsequent Offering Period”) of no greater than three (3) business days (as determined using Rule 14d-1(g)(3) under the Exchange Act) and (ii) Merger Sub may in its discretion elect to extend such Subsequent Offering Period for one additional period of no greater than five (5) business days (as determined using Rule 14d-1(g)(3) under the Exchange Act) in the event that, upon expiration of a Subsequent Offering Period provided pursuant to clause (i), the total number of Company Shares validly tendered (x) in the Offer and not validly withdrawn (excluding any Company Shares that are subject to the guaranteed delivery procedures set forth in the Offer Documents and that have not been actually delivered to Merger Sub under those delivery guarantees) and (y) during any Subsequent Offering Period is together less than the total number of Company Shares that would have been required to be tendered into the Offer to satisfy the Minimum Condition if no Company Shares were tendered into the Offer pursuant to the guaranteed delivery procedures set forth in the Offer Documents.

(c) Subject to the terms and the conditions of the Offer and this Agreement, and the satisfaction (and, if permitted to be waived by Parent and Merger Sub by Section 1.1(a), not waived by Parent and Merger Sub) of the conditions set forth in Annex A, (i) as soon as practicable after the applicable Expiration Date, Merger Sub shall accept for payment and promptly (and in any event within three (3) business days (as determined using Rule 14d-1(g)(3) under the Exchange Act) after such acceptance) pay for, and Parent shall cause Merger Sub to accept for payment and pay for, all Company Shares validly tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to the Offer (the time of such acceptance for payment, the “Acceptance Time”, and such acceptance for payment, the “Offer Closing”), or (ii) in the case of any Company Shares tendered during any Subsequent Offering Period, Merger Sub shall immediately accept for payment and promptly (and in any event within three (3) business days (as determined using Rule 14d-1(g)(3) under the Exchange Act)) pay for, and Parent shall cause Merger Sub to accept for payment and pay for, all such Company Shares validly tendered during such period.

(d) If at any then-scheduled Expiration Date occurring after January 5, 2012 (i) any of the conditions set forth in Annex A shall not have been satisfied (and, if permitted to be waived by Parent and Merger Sub by Section 1.1(a), not waived by Parent and Merger Sub) and (ii) the Proxy Statement Clearance Date shall have occurred (such Expiration Date, the ‘‘Offer Determination Date”), then Merger Sub may irrevocably and unconditionally terminate the Offer. In addition, the Company shall have the right, exercisable by delivering written notice to Parent and Merger Sub at any time from and after the Offer Determination Date, to request in writing Merger Sub to, and upon receipt of such written request, Merger Sub shall, and Parent shall cause Merger Sub to, irrevocably and unconditionally terminate the Offer at the then-scheduled

Expiration Date following the receipt of such written request from the Company (delivered no less than one (1) Business Day prior to the then-scheduled Expiration Date). The termination of the Offer pursuant to this Section 1.1(d) is referred to herein as the “Offer Termination,” and the date on which the Offer Termination occurs is referred to herein as the “Offer Termination Date.” Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 1.1(d), if this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 9.1, then Merger Sub shall promptly (and, in any event, within one (1) Business Day after such termination), irrevocably and unconditionally terminate the Offer. If the Offer is terminated or withdrawn by Merger Sub, or this Agreement is terminated in accordance with Section 9.1, Merger Sub shall promptly return, and shall cause any depository acting on behalf of Merger Sub to return, all tendered Company Shares to the registered holders thereof to the extent required by the terms of the Offer. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the Offer Termination shall not give rise to a right of termination of this Agreement unless to the extent expressly provided for in Section 9.1 and that, absent such termination of this Agreement, the obligations of the parties hereunder other than those related to the Offer shall continue to remain in effect, including those obligations with respect to the Merger.

(e) On the date of commencement of the Offer, Parent and Merger Sub shall file with the SEC with respect to the Offer a Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO (together with all amendments and supplements thereto and including all exhibits thereto, the “Schedule TO”) which shall contain or shall incorporate by reference an offer to purchase relating to the Offer and form of the related letter of transmittal (such Schedule TO and the documents included therein pursuant to which the Offer shall be made, together with any supplements or amendments thereto and including the exhibits thereto, are referred to herein collectively as the “Offer Documents”). The Company shall promptly furnish to Parent and Merger Sub all information concerning the Company required by the Exchange Act to be set forth in the Offer Documents or reasonably requested by Parent and Merger Sub in writing for inclusion therein. Parent and Merger Sub shall cause the Offer Documents to be disseminated to holders of the Company Shares as and to the extent required by applicable U.S. federal securities laws and the rules and regulations of the SEC thereunder (collectively, the “Securities Laws”). Parent shall deliver copies of the proposed forms of the Offer Documents to the Company and its counsel in advance of filing with the SEC and the commencement of the Offer and shall provide a reasonable opportunity for review and comment by the Company and its counsel. The Company and its counsel shall be given a reasonable opportunity to review any amendments and supplements to the initial Offer Documents prior to their filing with the SEC or dissemination to the holders of the Company Shares. Parent shall provide the Company and its counsel any written comments (and summaries of all material oral comments) that Merger Sub, Parent or their counsel may receive from the SEC or its staff with respect to the Offer Documents promptly after receipt of any such comments, and provide the Company and its counsel a reasonable opportunity to participate in the preparation of responses to any such SEC comments. Each of Parent, Merger Sub and the Company shall promptly correct any information provided by it for use in the Offer Documents that shall have become false or misleading in any material respect and Parent and Merger Sub further agree to take all steps necessary to cause the Schedule TO as so corrected to be filed with the SEC and the other Offer Documents as so corrected to be disseminated to the holders of the Company Shares, in each case, as and to the extent required by applicable Securities Laws.

(f) Parent has and Merger Sub will have available to it all funds necessary to permit Merger Sub to satisfy all of its obligations under this Agreement, including acquiring all of the outstanding Company Shares in the Offer and the Merger by no later than the Expiration Date.

1.2 Company Action.

(a) The Company hereby approves and consents to the Offer and the inclusion in the Offer Documents of a description of the Company Board Recommendation.

(b) The Company shall file with the SEC, as promptly as practicable after the filing by Parent of the Offer Documents, a Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9 (together with all amendments and supplements thereto and including the exhibits thereto, the “Schedule 14D-9”) which, subject to Section 7.5(d), (e) and (f), shall contain a description of the Company Board Recommendation, and shall disseminate the Schedule 14D-9 to the holders of the Company Shares (concurrently with and in the same mailing envelope as the Offer Documents) as and to the extent required by applicable Securities Laws. The Company shall deliver copies of the proposed form of the Schedule 14D-9 to Parent and its counsel in advance of the filing with the SEC and shall provide a reasonable opportunity for review and comment by Parent and its counsel. Parent and its counsel shall be given a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on any amendments and supplements to the Schedule 14D-9 prior to their filing with the SEC or dissemination to the holders of the Company Shares. The Company shall provide Parent and its counsel any written comments (and summaries of all material oral comments) that the Company or its counsel may receive from the SEC or its staff with respect to the Schedule 14D-9 promptly after receipt of any such comments, and provide the Parent and its counsel a reasonable opportunity to participate in the preparation of responses to any such SEC comments. Each of the Company, Parent and Merger Sub shall promptly correct any information provided by it for use in the Schedule 14D-9 that shall have become false or misleading in any material respect and the Company further agrees to take all steps necessary to cause such Schedule 14D-9 as so corrected to be filed with the SEC and disseminated to the holders of the Company Shares, in each case, as and to the extent required by applicable Securities Laws.

(c) In connection with the Offer and the Merger, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause its transfer agent or agents to furnish Merger Sub, promptly after the date hereof and otherwise from time to time as requested by Parent, Merger Sub or their agents, with mailing labels containing the names and addresses of the record holders of the Company Shares as of a recent date and of those Persons becoming record holders subsequent to such date, together with copies of all lists of stockholders, security position listings and computer files and all other information in the Company’s possession or control, to the extent reasonably available to the Company, regarding the beneficial owners of the Company Shares, and shall furnish to Merger Sub such information and assistance (including updated lists of holders of the Company Shares, security position listings and computer files) as Parent, Merger Sub or their agents may reasonably request in communicating the Offer to the holders of the Company Shares. Subject to the requirements of applicable Law, and except for such steps as are necessary to disseminate the Offer Documents and any other documents necessary to consummate the Merger, Parent and Merger Sub and their agents shall not use or disclose the information contained in any such labels, listings and files other than in connection with the

Offer and the Merger and, if this Agreement shall be terminated in accordance with Section 9.1, shall, upon request, deliver, and shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause their agents to deliver, to the Company all copies of such information then in their possession or control.

(d) During the five (5) Business Days before the then-scheduled Expiration Date and on the first (1st) Business Day following the Expiration Date, promptly following the written request of Parent or Merger Sub, the Company shall certify to Parent and Merger Sub in writing as to (i) the number of Company Shares then outstanding (including Company Shares that are Company Performance-Based Restricted Shares or Company Time Vested Restricted Shares), (ii) the number of Company Performance-Based Restricted Shares then outstanding, (iii) the number of Company Time Vested Restricted Shares then outstanding, (iv) the number of Company Shares issuable in respect of Company Stock Options then outstanding, (v) the number of Company Shares issuable in respect of Company Performance-Based Restricted Share Rights then outstanding, (vi) the Company’s computation of the number of Fully Diluted Company Shares then outstanding, with supporting detail, (vii) the number of Company Shares authorized and available for issuance and sale by the Company to Merger Sub in connection with an exercise of the Top-Up Option and (viii) any other information in the possession of the Company as may be reasonably requested by Parent or Merger Sub in order to enable Parent and Merger Sub to determine whether or not the Minimum Condition has been or would be satisfied.

1.3 Directors; Section 14(f).

(a) Effective upon Merger Sub’s purchase of the Company Shares pursuant to the Offer, and from time to time thereafter, Parent shall, subject to the qualifications for directors set forth in the Articles of Incorporation and the terms of this Agreement, be entitled to designate such number of directors, rounded up to the next whole number, for election or appointment to the Company Board as will give Parent representation on the Company Board equal to the product of (i) the total number of directors on the Company Board (after giving effect to the increase in the size of the Company Board pursuant to this Section 1.3) and (ii) a fraction equal to the aggregate number of Company Shares beneficially owned by Merger Sub and Parent (including Company Shares so accepted for payment pursuant to the Offer) divided by the total aggregate number of all Company Shares then outstanding. As used in this Agreement, the term “beneficial ownership” (and its correlative terms) shall have the meaning assigned to it in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act. In furtherance thereof, upon request of Parent, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause such designees of Parent and Merger Sub to be so elected or appointed at such time, including (at the election of Parent) by increasing the size of the Company Board to the extent permitted by the Articles of Incorporation and/or by obtaining resignations of incumbent directors. At such time, the Company shall take all necessary action to cause Persons designated by Parent to constitute at least the same percentage (rounded up to the next whole number) as is on the Company Board of (A) each committee of the Company Board and (B) each board of directors (or similar governing body) of each Subsidiary of the Company (and each committee thereof), in each case to the greatest extent permitted by Securities Laws, the listing requirements of the Nasdaq and any other applicable Laws.

(b) The Company’s obligations to appoint Parent’s designees to the Company Board pursuant to this Section 1.3 shall be subject to Section 14(f) of the Exchange Act and Rule

14f-1 thereunder. The Company shall promptly take all actions, and shall include in the Schedule 14D-9 such information with respect to the Company and its officers and directors and Parent’s designees, as Section 14(f) and Rule 14f-1 of the Exchange Act require in order to fulfill its obligations under this Section 1.3. Parent shall provide to the Company, and be solely responsible for, on a timely basis, the information with respect to Parent and Merger Sub and its nominees, officers, directors and affiliates required by Section 14(f) of the Exchange Act and Rule 14f-1 thereunder. The provisions of this Section 1.3 are in addition to, and shall not limit, any right that Parent, Merger Sub or any affiliate of Parent or Merger Sub may have (with respect to the election of directors or otherwise) under applicable Laws as a holder or beneficial owner of the Company Shares.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that, if Parent’s designees are elected or appointed to the Company Board, the Company Board shall have, at all times prior to the Effective Time, at least two (2) directors who are directors on the date of this Agreement and who are not officers, employees or affiliates of the Company, Parent or any of their respective Subsidiaries (it being understood that for purposes of this sentence, a director of the Company or Parent shall not be deemed an affiliate of the Company solely as a result of his or her status as a director of the Company or Parent) and who are “independent directors” as defined by Nasdaq Rule 5605(a)(2) and eligible to serve on the Company’s audit committee under the Exchange Act and the Nasdaq rules, and at least one of whom shall be an “audit committee financial expert” as defined in Item 407(d)(5) of Regulation S-K and the instructions thereto (the “Independent Directors”), (ii) if the number of Independent Directors shall be reduced below two (2) for any reason whatsoever, the remaining Independent Director may designate a Person to fill such vacancy who is not an officer, employee or affiliate of the Company, Parent, or any of their respective Subsidiaries and who otherwise meets the other criteria to be deemed to be an Independent Director for purposes of this Agreement and (iii) if no Independent Directors then remain, the other directors may designate two (2) Persons to fill such vacancies who shall not be officers, employees or affiliates of the Company, Parent or any of their respective Subsidiaries, and who otherwise meet the other criteria to be deemed to be Independent Directors for purposes of this Agreement.

(d) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, during the period after election or appointment of directors designated by Parent pursuant to this Section 1.3 but prior to the Effective Time, the Company Board shall delegate to a committee of the Company Board comprised solely of the Independent Directors (the “Independent Committee”) the sole responsibility for (i) any amendment or any termination of this Agreement by the Company, (ii) any extension of time for performance of any of the obligations of Parent or Merger Sub pursuant to this Agreement for which the Company’s consent or approval is required, (iii) the exercise or waiver of any of the Company’s rights or remedies hereunder, (iv) any determinations or agreements made by or on behalf of the Company under this Agreement, (v) any waiver of compliance with any covenant of Parent or Merger Sub or any condition to any obligation of the Company or of any of the Company’s rights under this Agreement and (vi) any other matter in connection with the Merger that could reasonably be expected to adversely affect the receipt of the Merger Consideration by holders of Company Shares (other than Parent and Merger Sub), including the timing of such receipt. Any action of the Independent Committee with respect to the above matters in the preceding sentence shall be deemed to constitute the action of the full Company Board to approve the actions contemplated hereby and no other

action on the part of the Company, including any action by any other director or officers of the Company, shall be required for such authorization. The Independent Committee shall have the authority to retain one (1) separate counsel at the reasonable expense of the Company. For the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, at any time prior to the Effective Time when Merger Sub’s designees constitute a majority of the Company Board, Merger Sub shall cause such designees not to approve any amendment or termination by the Company of, or any waiver by the Company of, any of its rights under this Agreement that would adversely affect the holders of Company Shares (other than Parent and Merger Sub) or extend the time for performance of Parent’s or Merger Sub’s obligations under this Agreement, unless such action is approved by the Independent Committee.

1.4 The Top-Up Option.

(a) The Company hereby grants to Merger Sub an irrevocable option (the “Top-Up Option”) to purchase that number of Company Shares (the “Top-Up Shares”) equal to the lowest number of Company Shares that, when added to the number of Company Shares owned by Parent and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole at the time of such exercise (after giving effect to the Offer Closing), shall constitute one (1) share more than ninety percent (90%) of the Fully Diluted Company Shares at such date (assuming the issuance of the Top-Up Shares (the “Top-Up Amount”)), at a price per Company Share equal to the Offer Price.

(b) The Top-Up Option shall be exercisable once in whole and not in part (i) following the applicable Expiration Date or, if a Subsequent Offering Period has been provided for, the expiration of such Subsequent Offering Period and (ii) prior to the fifth (5th) Business Day after the applicable Expiration Date or, if a Subsequent Offering Period has been provided for, the expiration of such Subsequent Offering Period; provided, however, that the exercisability of the Top-Up Option and the obligation of the Company to deliver the Top-Up Shares are subject to the conditions that (A) no Law, injunction, judgment or ruling enacted, promulgated, issued, entered, amended or enforced by any Governmental Entity that has the effect of prohibiting the exercise of the Top-Up Option or preventing the issuance and delivery of the Top-Up Shares shall be in effect, (B) the Top-Up Option shall not be exercisable for a number of Company Shares in excess of the number of Company Shares authorized and unissued (treating Company Shares owned by the Company as treasury shares as unissued) and not otherwise reserved for issuance at the time of the exercise of the Top-Up Option, (C) Merger Sub has accepted for payment and paid for all Company Shares validly tendered in the Offer upon the expiration of the applicable Expiration Date or, if a Subsequent Offering Period has been provided for, the expiration of any Subsequent Offering Period and not withdrawn and (D) following the delivery of the Top-Up Shares, Parent and its Subsidiaries would taken as a whole own a number of Company Shares equal to the Top-Up Amount; provided, further, that the Top-Up Option shall terminate upon the earlier to occur of (1) the Effective Time and (2) the termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms. The parties shall cooperate to ensure that the issuance of the Top-Up Shares is accomplished consistent with applicable Laws, including compliance with an applicable exemption from registration of the Top-Up Shares under the Securities Act. Parent and Merger Sub acknowledge that the Top-Up Shares that Merger Sub may acquire upon exercise of the Top-Up Option will not be registered under the Securities Act, and will be issued in reliance upon an applicable exemption from registration under the Securities Act. Each of Parent and Merger Sub hereby represents and warrants to the

Company that Merger Sub will be, upon the purchase of the Top-Up Shares, an “accredited investor,” as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D under the Securities Act. Merger Sub agrees that the Top-Up Option and the Top-Up Shares to be acquired upon exercise of the Top-Up Option are being and will be acquired by Merger Sub for the purpose of investment and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any distribution thereof (within the meaning of the Securities Act). If (x) the Top-Up Option is exercisable and (y) the Company Board or the Independent Committee requests in writing that Merger Sub exercise the Top-Up Option, then Parent shall cause Merger Sub to exercise the Top-Up Option prior to its expiration; provided, that Merger Sub shall not be required to exercise the Top-Up Option prior to the expiration of a Subsequent Offering Period that has been provided for pursuant to clause (i) of the last sentence of Section 1.1(b).

(c) In the event Merger Sub wishes to exercise the Top-Up Option, Merger Sub shall notify the Company in writing, and shall certify in such notice (i) the number of Company Shares owned by Parent and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole immediately preceding the exercise of the Top-Up Option and (ii) the place and time for the closing of the purchase of the Top-Up Shares (the “Top-Up Closing”). The Company shall, as soon as practicable following receipt of such notice, notify Parent and Merger Sub in writing of (A) the number of Company Shares then outstanding, (B) the number of Fully Diluted Company Shares (not assuming the issuance of the Top-Up Shares) with supporting detail and (C) the Company’s computation of the number of Top-Up Shares to be issued. At the Top-Up Closing, Merger Sub shall pay the Company the aggregate price required to be paid for the Top-Up Shares and the Company shall cause to be issued to Merger Sub a certificate (or evidence of book-entry ownership) representing the Top-Up Shares, which certificate (or evidence of book-entry ownership) may include any legends required by applicable Securities Laws. The aggregate price required to be paid for the Top-Up Shares or any portion thereof may be paid by Merger Sub either (1) entirely in cash or (2) by paying in cash an amount equal to not less than the aggregate par value of such Top-Up Shares and by executing and delivering to the Company a promissory note (the “Promissory Note”) having a principal amount equal to the balance of such purchase price for the Top-Up Shares. The Promissory Note (v) shall be full recourse against Parent and Merger Sub, (w) shall bear interest at the rate of interest per annum equal to the prime lending rate prevailing from time to time during such period as published in The Wall Street Journal, (x) shall mature on the first anniversary of the date of execution and delivery of the Promissory Note, (y) may be prepaid in whole or in part at any time without premium or penalty and (z) shall have no other material terms.

(d) The Top-Up Option, the issuance of the Top-Up Shares or the payment by Merger Sub to the Company of any consideration, including the Promissory Note, for the Top-Up Shares shall not be taken into account in any determination of the fair value (as defined in Section 92A.320 of the Nevada Revised Statutes (“NRS”)) of any Dissenting Shares pursuant to NRS 92A.300 through 92A.500, inclusive, and none of the parties hereto shall take any position to the contrary in any appraisal proceeding commenced pursuant to NRS 92A.490.

1.5 Adjustment to Offer Price. If, following the date hereof, the Company changes or establishes a record date for changing the number of Company Shares or securities convertible or exchangeable into or exercisable for Company Shares issued and outstanding as a result of a stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, subdivision, reclassification, combination or other

similar transaction in respect of the outstanding Company Shares, in each case effected with Parent’s prior written consent in compliance with Section 7.2, and the record date therefor shall be prior to the earlier to occur of the Acceptance Time and the Effective Time (such earlier time, the “Applicable Time”), then, in any such event, the Offer Price shall be equitably adjusted to reflect that change.

ARTICLE 4
EFFECT OF THE MERGER

4.1 Conversion of Capital Stock.

(a) At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the Company, Parent, Merger Sub or any holder of any stock or other equity ownership interest of the Company, Parent or Merger Sub:

(i) Each Company Share outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (except as otherwise provided in Section 4.1(a)(ii), except for Dissenting Shares and except for Company Time Vested Restricted Shares and Company Performance-Based Restricted Shares that are cancelled in accordance with Section 4.4) shall be converted into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to the Offer Price (the “Merger Consideration”). All such Company Shares, when so converted, no longer shall be outstanding and automatically shall be cancelled and retired and shall cease to exist, and each holder of a certificate, or evidence of Company Shares held in book-entry form, representing any such Company Shares shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the Merger Consideration therefor upon the surrender of such certificate in accordance with Section 4.2.

(ii) Each Company Share held in the treasury of the Company and each Company Share owned by Parent, Merger Sub (including as a result of an exercise of the Top-Up Option) or any direct or indirect wholly-owned Subsidiary of Parent or the Company, if any, immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be cancelled and extinguished without any conversion thereof and no payment shall be made with respect thereto.

(b) At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Parent as the sole stockholder of Merger Sub, each issued and outstanding share of common stock of Merger Sub shall be converted into one (1) share of common stock of the Surviving Corporation.

4.2 Exchange of Certificates and Merger Consideration.

(a) At or prior to the Effective Time, Parent will deposit, or cause to be deposited, with a bank or trust company designated by Parent with the prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of the Company if the Offer Termination shall have occurred (the “Exchange Agent”), for the benefit of the holders of Company Shares, the cash in immediately available funds required to make payments in respect of the Merger Consideration as required by Section 4.1(a)(i) (such cash being hereinafter referred to as the “Exchange Fund”). The Exchange Agent shall invest the Exchange Fund as directed by Parent; provided, that such investments shall be in obligations of or guaranteed by the United States of America or in commercial paper obligations rated “A-1” or “P-1” or better by Xxxxx’x Investors Service, Inc. or Standard & Poor’s Corporation, respectively, or a combination of the

foregoing and, in any such case, no such instrument shall have a maturity exceeding three (3) months. To the extent there are losses with respect to such investments, or the Exchange Fund diminishes for any other reasons below the level required to make prompt cash payment of the aggregate funds required to be paid pursuant to Section 4.1(a)(i), Parent shall promptly replace or restore the cash in the Exchange Fund lost through such investments or other events so as to ensure that the Exchange Fund is at all times maintained at a level sufficient to make such cash payments. Any interest and other income resulting from such investment shall become a part of the Exchange Fund, and any amounts in excess of the amounts payable under Section 4.1(a)(i) shall be promptly returned to Parent.

(b) Promptly after the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Exchange Agent to mail to each holder of record of a certificate or certificates, or evidence of Company Shares held in book-entry form, that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding Company Shares (the “Certificates”), and whose Company Shares were converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 4.1(a)(i), (i) a letter of transmittal (a “Letter of Transmittal”), which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon actual delivery of the Certificates to the Exchange Agent, and shall be in such form and have such other provisions as Parent may reasonably specify and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates in exchange for the Merger Consideration. Upon surrender of Certificates for cancellation to the Exchange Agent, together with a Letter of Transmittal duly executed and completed in accordance with the instructions thereto (or receipt of an “agent’s message” by the Exchange Agent in the case of a book-entry transfer) and such other documents as the Exchange Agent shall reasonably require, the holder of such Certificates shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor the Merger Consideration for each Company Share formerly evidenced thereby, in accordance with Section 4.1(a)(i), and the Certificates so surrendered shall be cancelled. Until surrendered as provided in this Section 4.2(b), each Certificate shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive upon such surrender the Merger Consideration for each Company Share evidenced thereby. No interest will be paid or accrue on any amounts payable upon surrender of any Certificate.

(c) All Merger Consideration paid upon exchange of the Company Shares in accordance with the terms hereof will be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such Company Shares so exchanged.

(d) Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains undistributed to the holders of Company Shares for six (6) months after the Effective Time will be delivered to Parent, upon demand, and any holders of Company Shares who have not theretofore complied with this Article 4 will thereafter look only to Parent for payments in respect of the Merger Consideration payable pursuant to this Agreement.

(e) None of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company, the Surviving Corporation or the Exchange Agent shall be liable to any Person in respect of any cash delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law. If any Certificates shall not have been surrendered immediately prior to the date on which any of the Merger Consideration would otherwise escheat or become the property of any Governmental Entity, any amounts payable in respect thereof shall, to the extent permitted by Law, become the

property of Parent, free and clear of all claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.

(f) Each of the Surviving Corporation, Parent and Merger Sub will be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement (including any payments made pursuant to the Offer and the Merger, any payments made in respect of the Dissenting Shares and any payments made in respect of Company Stock Options) to any holder of Company Shares such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code or any provision of state, local or foreign tax law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld by the Surviving Corporation, Parent or Merger Sub, as the case may be, such withheld amounts will be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of the Company Shares in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made by the Surviving Corporation, Parent or Merger Sub, as the case may be. Any amounts deducted and withheld from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement shall be remitted by Parent, Merger Sub or the Surviving Corporation to the appropriate Governmental Entity on a timely basis.

(g) If any cash payment is to be made pursuant to Section 4.1(a)(i) in a name other than that in which the Certificate surrendered in exchange therefor is registered, it will be a condition of such payment that (i) the Person requesting such payment shall pay any transfer or other similar Taxes required by reason of the making of such payment in a name other than that of the registered holder of the Certificate surrendered, or required for any other reason relating to such holder or requesting Person, or shall establish to the reasonable satisfaction of the Exchange Agent that such Tax has been paid or is inapplicable and (ii) the Certificate so surrendered will be properly endorsed or will be otherwise in proper form for transfer.

(h) If any Certificate has been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by the Surviving Corporation, the posting by such Person of a bond, in customary amount and upon such terms as may be required by the Surviving Corporation, as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, the Exchange Agent will issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate the Merger Consideration payable with respect to the Company Shares evidenced by such Certificate pursuant to this Agreement.

4.3 Stock Transfer Books. At and after the Effective Time, holders of Certificates shall cease to have any rights as stockholders of the Company, except for the right to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 4.1(a)(i). All cash paid upon the surrender of the Certificates in accordance with this Article 4 shall be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to the Company Shares formerly evidenced by such Certificates. At the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed and no transfer of Company Shares that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall thereafter be made. If, after the Effective Time, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Certificates formerly evidencing Company Shares are presented to the Surviving Corporation, they shall be cancelled and exchanged for the Merger Consideration in accordance with this Article 4.

4.4 Treatment of Company Stock-Based Securities.

(a) Each outstanding option to purchase Company Shares (a “Company Stock Option”) granted under any stock option plan, program or agreement to which the Company or any of its wholly-owned Subsidiaries is a party that is outstanding immediately prior to the Applicable Time, whether or not then exercisable, shall be cancelled as of the Applicable Time and the holder thereof shall be entitled only to the right to receive an amount in cash equal to the product of (A) the excess, if any, of (x) the Merger Consideration over (y) the per share exercise price of such Company Stock Option multiplied by (B) the number of Company Shares subject to such Company Stock Option immediately prior to the Applicable Time, whether or not then exercisable (the “Company Stock Option Consideration”). The Company shall pay to holders of the Company Stock Options the Company Stock Option Consideration, if any, as soon as practicable after the Applicable Time and in any case within five (5) Business Days thereafter. Such cash payment shall be without interest and subject to and reduced by all applicable Taxes to be withheld in respect of such payment. For any Company Stock Option where no payment is required to be made under this Section 4.4(a) because such payment amount would be equal to or less than zero, such Company Stock Option will be cancelled and terminated at the Applicable Time without any exercise thereof and no payment shall be made with respect thereto.

(b) Each award of a Company Time Vested Restricted Share that is outstanding immediately prior to the Applicable Time shall automatically become fully vested and free of any forfeiture restrictions and shall be cancelled as of the Applicable Time and the holder thereof (or the Person in whose name the Company holds such Company Time Vested Restricted Share) shall be entitled only to the right to receive an amount in cash equal to the Merger Consideration in respect of each Company Time Vested Restricted Share (the “Company Time Vested Restricted Share Consideration”). The Company shall pay to holders of, or the persons in whose name the Company holds, the Company Time Vested Restricted Shares the Company Time Vested Restricted Share Consideration as soon as practicable after the Applicable Time and in any case within five (5) Business Days thereafter. Such cash payment shall be without interest and subject to and reduced by all applicable Taxes to be withheld in respect of such payment.

(c) Each Company Performance-Based Restricted Share Award that is outstanding immediately prior to the Applicable Time shall automatically become fully vested at the “target” level (or such other level or number of Company Shares specified in such Company Performance-Based Restricted Share Award that shall vest at the Applicable Time) with respect to all open performance periods and free of any forfeiture restrictions and shall be cancelled as of the Applicable Time, and the holder thereof shall be entitled only to the right to receive an amount in cash equal to the Merger Consideration in respect of each Company Performance-Based Restricted Share vested pursuant to the terms of such Company Performance-Based Restricted Share Award (the “Company Performance-Based Restricted Share Consideration”). The Company shall pay to holders of, or to the persons in whose name the Company holds, the Company Performance-Based Restricted Shares the Company Performance-Based Restricted Share Consideration as soon as practicable after the Applicable Time and in any case within five (5) Business Days thereafter. Such cash payment shall be without interest and subject to and reduced by all applicable Taxes to be withheld in respect of such payment. For any Company Performance-Based Restricted Share Right where no payment is required to be made under this

Section 4.4(c) because no Company Shares would be issued upon the vesting at the “target” level at the Applicable Time (or such other level or number of Company Shares specified in such Company Performance-Based Restricted Share Award that shall vest at the Applicable Time) of the Company Performance-Based Restricted Share Award pursuant to which such Company Performance-Based Restricted Share Right was awarded, such Company Performance-Based Restricted Share Right will be cancelled and terminated as of the Applicable Time and no payment shall be made with respect thereto.

(d) The Company will not tender in the Offer any Company Time Vested Restricted Shares or Company Performance-Based Restricted Shares or release any transfer restrictions thereon in connection with the Offer, except to the extent such Company Time Vested Restricted Shares or Company Performance-Based Restricted Shares vest prior to the Offer pursuant to the terms and conditions of the applicable award agreement in effect on the date of this Agreement.

(e) The Company shall take all actions necessary to provide that, at the Applicable Time, (i) the Company Stock Plan and any similar plan, program or agreement of the Company shall be terminated and (ii) no Person shall have any right under or with respect to the Company Stock Options, the Company Time Vested Restricted Shares, the Company Performance-Based Restricted Share Awards, the Company Performance-Based Restricted Shares, the Company Performance-Based Restricted Share Rights, the Company Stock Plan or any other plan, program or arrangement with respect to equity securities of the Company or any Subsidiary thereof, except the right to receive the amounts payable under this Section 4.4, if any. Without limiting the foregoing, the Company shall instruct its stock transfer agent, promptly after the Applicable Time (and in any event no later than on the first (1st) Business Day after the Applicable Time occurs), to remove all Company Time Vested Restricted Shares and Company Performance-Based Restricted Shares from the Company’s stock ledger. The Company shall provide notice (in a form reasonably satisfactory to Parent) to each holder of an outstanding Company Stock Option, each Person in whose name the Company holds any Company Time Vested Restricted Share or Company Performance-Based Restricted Share and each recipient of an outstanding Company Performance-Based Restricted Share Award describing the treatment of such Company Stock Option, Company Time Vested Restricted Share, Company Performance-Based Restricted Share or Company Performance-Based Restricted Share Award (and any Company Performance-Based Restricted Share Rights in respect thereof), as applicable, in accordance with this Section 4.4.

(f) The Company shall take all steps reasonably required to cause the transactions contemplated by this Section 4.4 by each individual who is a director or officer of the Company subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act to be exempt under Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act.

4.5 Dissenting Shares. Pursuant to NRS 92A.390, holders of Company Shares shall have no right to dissent with respect to the Merger. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if it is determined that such right to dissent is not eliminated by operation of any applicable Laws, including NRS 92A.390, Company Shares outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and held by a holder who has not voted in favor of the Merger or consented thereto in writing and who has properly demanded payment of fair value (as defined in NRS

92A.320) for such Company Shares in accordance with the requirements of the NRS 92A.300 through 92A.500, inclusive (collectively, the “Dissenting Shares”), shall not be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration, and the holders of Dissenting Shares shall be entitled to only such rights as are granted by NRS 92A.300 through 92A.500, inclusive. If any holder of Dissenting Shares fails to perfect, withdraws or otherwise loses the right to demand payment of fair value in respect of such Dissenting Shares pursuant to NRS 92A.300 through 92A.500, inclusive, such Dissenting Shares shall be treated as if they had been converted as of the Effective Time into the right to receive the Merger Consideration, as set forth in Section 4.1(a)(i). The Company shall give Parent prompt notice of any written demands received by the Company for appraisals or payment of fair value in respect of Company Shares and any withdrawals of such demands, as well as copies of any instruments or documents served pursuant to the NRS and received by the Company with respect to such demands, and the Parent shall have the opportunity to direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demands. Except with the prior written consent of Parent, the Company shall not make any payment with respect to, or offer to settle or settle, any such demands. Each holder of Dissenting Shares who becomes entitled to payment for such Dissenting Shares under the provisions of the NRS will receive payment thereof from the Surviving Corporation and as of the Effective Time such Company Shares will no longer be outstanding and will automatically be cancelled and retired and will cease to exist.

4.6 Adjustment to Merger Consideration. If, following the date hereof, the Company changes or establishes a record date for changing the number of Company Shares or securities convertible or exchangeable into or exercisable for Company Shares issued and outstanding as a result of a stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, subdivision, reclassification, combination or other similar transaction in respect of the outstanding Company Shares, in each case effected with Parent’s prior written consent in compliance with Section 7.2, and the record date therefor shall be prior to the Effective Time, then, in any such event, the Merger Consideration shall be equitably adjusted to reflect that change.

Each of Parent and Merger Sub is qualified to do business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the assets and properties owned, leased or operated by it, or the nature of the business conducted by it, makes such qualification necessary, except where the failure to be so qualified and in good standing would not reasonably be expected to have a Parent Material Adverse Effect.

This Agreement and the Transactions have been approved by the respective boards of directors of Parent and Merger Sub and by Parent as the sole stockholder of Merger Sub and no other corporate proceedings on the part of Parent or Merger Sub are necessary to authorize the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the consummation by Parent and Merger Sub of the Transactions. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by Parent and Merger Sub and, assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery thereof by the Company, constitutes a valid and binding obligation of Parent and Merger Sub enforceable against each of them in accordance with its terms, except as such enforcement may be limited by (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar Laws

(a) Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, provide to each individual who is an active employee of the Company or any of its Affiliates immediately prior to the Closing (including each person who is on vacation, temporary layoff, leave of absence, sick leave or short- or long-term disability (each, a “Continuing Employee”)) for a period beginning on the Closing Date and ending on the earlier of (i) December 31, 2012 or (ii) the one (1) year anniversary of the Closing Date: (A) base salary not less than the base salary provided to such Continuing Employee as in effect immediately preceding the Closing Date and (B) employee benefits (but not including any equity-based grants, nonqualified deferred compensation benefits or severance benefits) that are, in the aggregate, substantially equivalent to the employee benefits provided to such Continuing Employee as in effect immediately preceding the Closing Date; provided, however, that the immediately preceding subsections (A) and (B) shall not apply to any Continuing Employee who is a party to an employment agreement or other similar agreement between such Continuing Employee and the Company or an Affiliate of the Company; provided further, however, that no Continuing Employee shall be eligible to participate in any defined benefit pension plan sponsored by Parent or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates. No provision of this Agreement shall be construed as a promise to employ any Continuing Employee for any period of time or as a limitation on the right of Parent or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates to terminate the employment of any Continuing Employee.

(b) Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, take all necessary action so that each Continuing Employee shall be given credit for all service with the Company and its Affiliates to the same extent as if such services had been rendered to Parent or any of its Affiliates under each benefit plan, program or arrangement established, maintained or contributed to by Parent or the Surviving Corporation after the Closing Date for purposes of eligibility to participate, vesting and the amount or level of benefits, but in no event shall such recognition be taken into account (i) in determining the accrual of benefits under any defined benefit pension plan or for any other purpose under any defined benefit pension plan or (ii) to the extent it creates any duplication of benefits or benefit accruals.

(c) Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, (i) waive all limitations as to pre-existing conditions, exclusions and waiting periods with respect to participation and coverage requirements applicable to each Continuing Employee under any welfare or fringe benefit plan in which such Continuing Employee may be eligible to participate after the Closing Date and (ii) provide each Continuing Employee with credit under any general leave, welfare plan or fringe benefit plan in which such Continuing Employee becomes eligible to participate after the Closing Date for any co-payments and deductibles paid by such

Continuing Employee for the then-current plan year under the corresponding welfare or fringe benefit plan maintained by the Company or any of its Affiliates immediately prior to the Closing Date.

(d) Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, provide to each Continuing Employee for a period beginning on the Closing Date and ending on the six (6) month anniversary of the Closing Date, a severance benefit package that is equivalent to the severance benefit package that would be provided under the applicable Company Plan immediately prior to the date of this Agreement, unless such Continuing Employee is terminated for “cause” (as defined in the applicable Company Plan); provided that the obligation to provide severance benefits shall not apply to any Continuing Employee who is not covered or eligible for severance benefits under the applicable Company Plan in effect immediately prior to the date of this Agreement; provided further, that this Section 7.3(d) shall not apply to any Continuing Employee who is a party to an employment agreement or other similar agreement between such Continuing Employee and the Company or Affiliate of the Company that otherwise provides for severance or other similar benefits.

(e) Each of Parent, Merger Sub and the Company acknowledges and agrees that at the Applicable Time, for any Company Plan with a change in control provision, a “change in control” will occur under all such Company Plans.

(f) In the event that payments in respect of the Company’s 2011 Short-Term Incentive Program have not been paid prior to the Closing Date, Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, pay a lump-sum cash payment at the “target” level to each participant in such program at the normally scheduled time of such payments, provided such participant has not voluntarily terminated (as determined in good faith) his/her employment or consulting arrangement prior to such payment date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained herein shall be treated as an amendment of any Company Plan.

(g) No provision of this Agreement (i) will create or be deemed to create any third-party beneficiary or other rights in any employee or former employee (including any beneficiary or dependent thereof) of the Company, its Subsidiaries or any other Person other than the parties to this Agreement and their respective successors and permitted assigns, (ii) constitute or create or be deemed to constitute or create an employment agreement, (iii) constitute or be deemed to constitute an amendment to any employee benefit plan sponsored or maintained by Parent, the Company or any of their respective Subsidiaries, or (iv) limit the discretion or authority of the Parent or the Surviving Corporation to interpret the respective employee benefit and compensation plans, agreements, arrangements and programs, in accordance with their terms and applicable law.

(h) Nothing contained in this Agreement, express or implied, shall prohibit Parent from, subject to applicable Law, adding, deleting or changing providers of benefits, changing, increasing or decreasing co-payments, deductibles or other requirements for coverage or benefits (e.g., utilization review or pre-certification requirements), and/or making other changes in the administration or in the design, coverage and benefits provided to employees of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. No provision of this Agreement shall be construed as a

limitation on the right of the Parent to suspend, amend, modify or terminate any employee benefit plan.

7.4 Control of Operations. Nothing contained in this Agreement will give Parent, directly or indirectly, the right to control or direct the Company’s operations prior to the Applicable Time.

7.5 No Solicitation by Company.

(a) Subject to Sections 7.5(c) and 7.5(d), during the term of this Agreement the Company agrees that it and its Subsidiaries shall not, and the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause its Representatives and its Subsidiaries’ Representatives not to, directly or indirectly (i) solicit, initiate, or knowingly facilitate or encourage the making by any Person (other than Parent and its Subsidiaries) of any inquiry, proposal or offer that constitutes, or would reasonably be expected to lead to, any Acquisition Proposal, (ii) initiate or enter into any discussions or negotiations with any Person concerning an Acquisition Proposal, including by furnishing any non-public information to any Person in connection with an Acquisition Proposal or (iii) enter into any agreement, understanding or arrangement with respect to any Acquisition Proposal, or enter into any agreement, understanding or arrangement that would require the Company to abandon, terminate or fail to consummate the Transactions. The Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries and its and their Representatives to, immediately cease and cause to be terminated, any communications, discussions or negotiations with any party or parties with respect to any Acquisition Proposal being discussed prior to the date hereof; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 7.5 shall preclude the Company or any of its Representatives from contacting any such party or parties solely for the purpose of complying with the provisions of the next sentence of this Section 7.5(a). The Company shall promptly request each Person that has heretofore executed a confidentiality agreement in connection with its consideration of an Acquisition Proposal, if any, to return or destroy all confidential information heretofore furnished to such Person by or on behalf of the Company and its Subsidiaries.

(b) The Company agrees that it will notify Parent promptly (and in any event within two (2) Business Days after the Company’s receipt) of any proposal or inquiry received after the date hereof by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (including through any of the Representatives of the Company) that constitutes an Acquisition Proposal, including a copy of (or if oral, a written statement setting forth in reasonable detail the Company’s understanding of the material terms of) any such proposal or inquiry (including the identity of the Person from which it was received). The Company shall (i) keep Parent informed on a prompt basis as to the status of and any material developments regarding any such proposal or inquiry (including any negotiations or discussions with respect thereto), as well as any material modification or amendment thereto, (ii) promptly following receipt or delivery thereof, provide Parent with copies of all drafts and versions of agreements (including schedules and exhibits) relating thereto exchanged between the Company, the Subsidiaries of the Company or any of the Representatives of the Company and any such third party or their respective Representatives and (iii) promptly make available to Parent any non-public information concerning the Company or any of its Subsidiaries furnished to any Person in connection therewith that has not previously been made available to Parent in a substantially similar form, subject to applicable Law. Neither the

Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall, after the date of this Agreement, enter into any confidentiality agreement with a Person making, or indicating an interest in making, an Acquisition Proposal that would prohibit them from providing any of the foregoing information to Parent.

(c) Notwithstanding Section 7.5(a) and Section 7.5(b) or any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, at any time prior to the earlier to occur of the Acceptance Time and the receipt of the Company Stockholder Approval, following the receipt after the date hereof by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries of a bona fide written Acquisition Proposal, which proposal was not solicited and did not otherwise result from a breach of this Section 7.5, the Company Board may (directly or through the Company’s Representatives) furnish information to (for which only compliance with clauses (i) and (iii) below shall be required), or enter into negotiations with, any Person that has made such unsolicited Acquisition Proposal if, and only to the extent that: (i) such Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal or the Company Board determines in good faith after consultation with its outside legal and financial advisors that such Acquisition Proposal is, or could reasonably be expected to lead to, a Superior Proposal, (ii) after consultation with its outside legal counsel, the Company Board determines in good faith that the failure to take such action would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law and (iii) prior to furnishing such information, the Company receives from such Person an executed confidentiality agreement on terms similar to and no less favorable to the Company in the aggregate than those contained in the Confidentiality Agreement (provided, such confidentiality agreement shall not prohibit the Company from complying with its obligations under this Agreement, including Section 7.5(b)).

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, nothing in this Agreement shall prevent the Company or the Company Board from (i) taking and disclosing to the Company’s stockholders a position contemplated by Rule 14d-9 and Rule 14e-2(a) under the Exchange Act or making any “stop-look-and-listen” communication to the Company’s stockholders pursuant to Rule 14d-9(f) under the Exchange Act (or any similar communication to stockholders required to be made by applicable Law in connection with the making or amendment of a tender offer or exchange offer) or (ii) making any disclosure to the Company’s stockholders if, in the good faith judgment of the Company Board, after consultation with outside legal counsel, failure to make such disclosure would be inconsistent with applicable Law; provided, however, that compliance with such rules and Laws will not in any way modify the effect that any such action has if such disclosure constitutes a Change of Recommendation.

(e) Except as otherwise permitted by this Section 7.5(e) and Section 7.5(f), from the date of this Agreement until the earlier to occur of the Acceptance Time and the receipt of the Company Stockholder Approval, or the earlier termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, neither the Company Board nor any committee thereof shall (i) approve, adopt or recommend, or publicly propose to approve, adopt or recommend, any Acquisition Proposal, (ii) withhold, withdraw, amend, qualify or modify in a manner adverse to Parent or Merger Sub, or publicly propose to withhold, withdraw, amend, qualify or modify in a manner adverse to Parent or Merger Sub, the Company Board Recommendation or any approval or recommendation by any such committee regarding this Agreement, the Offer, the Merger or the other Transactions, (iii) fail to include the Company Board Recommendation in the Schedule 14D-9 or the Proxy Statement (any such action or failure described in clauses (i) through (iii)

above being referred to herein as a “Change of Recommendation”) or (iv) cause, permit or authorize the Company to enter into any letter of intent, agreement in principle, acquisition agreement, merger agreement or similar agreement in respect of an Acquisition Proposal (other than a confidentiality agreement in accordance with Section 7.5(c)(iii)). Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time prior to the earlier to occur of the Acceptance Time and the receipt of the Company Stockholder Approval, the Company Board may, in response to a development or change in circumstances occurring or arising after the date of this Agreement that was neither known to the Company Board nor reasonably foreseeable as of or prior to the date hereof (and not relating to any Acquisition Proposal) (such development or change in circumstances, an “Intervening Event”), make a Change of Recommendation if the Company Board has concluded in good faith, after consultation with, and taking into account the advice of, its outside legal counsel, that, in light of such Intervening Event, the failure of the Company Board to effect such a Change of Recommendation would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law (such Change of Recommendation in response to an Intervening Event, an “Intervening Event Change of Recommendation”); provided, however, that the Company shall not be entitled to exercise its right to make an Intervening Event Change of Recommendation pursuant to this sentence unless the Company has (A) given Parent at least three (3) Business Days’ prior notice advising Parent that the Company Board intends to take such action and specifying the reasons therefor in reasonable detail and (B) taken into account, in determining whether to make an Intervening Event Change of Recommendation, any changes to the terms of this Agreement proposed by Parent and any other information provided by Parent in response to such notice during such three (3) Business Day period.

(f) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 7.5 to the contrary, at any time prior to the earlier to occur of the Acceptance Time and the receipt of the Company Stockholder Approval, the Company Board (or any duly constituted committee of the Company Board) may, in response to a Superior Proposal, (i) effect a Change of Recommendation with respect to such Superior Proposal (a “Superior Proposal Change of Recommendation”) or (ii) cause the Company to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.1(f) and concurrently with such termination enter into a definitive agreement providing for the transactions contemplated by such Superior Proposal; provided, however, that the Company shall not effect a Superior Proposal Change of Recommendation or terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.1(f), and any purported Superior Proposal Change of Recommendation or termination pursuant to Section 9.1(f) shall be void and of no force or effect, unless (A) the Company shall have complied in all material respects with the provisions of this Section 7.5, including the notification provisions in this Section 7.5(f), and, with respect to a termination pursuant to Section 9.1(f), with all applicable requirements of Sections 9.1(f) and 9.3(a)(v) (including the payment of the Termination Fee prior to such termination) in connection with such Superior Proposal and (B) after consultation with, and taking into account the advice of, its outside legal counsel, the Company Board determines in good faith that the failure to take such action would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law; and provided further, however, that the Company Board (or any duly constituted committee of the Company Board) or the Company shall not exercise its right to effect a Superior Proposal Change of Recommendation or terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.1(f): (1) until after the third (3rd) Business Day following actual receipt by Parent of notice from the Company advising Parent that the Company has received a Superior Proposal (the “Notice Period”), specifying the material terms and conditions of the Superior Proposal and attaching the most current versions of the definitive agreement, all

exhibits and other attachments thereto and all agreements (such as stockholder agreements) ancillary thereto to effect such Superior Proposal, and identifying the Person making such Superior Proposal (a “Notice of Superior Proposal”) and stating that the Company Board intends to effect any Superior Proposal Change of Recommendation or to cause the Company to exercise its right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.1(f) (it being understood and agreed that, prior to any Superior Proposal Change of Recommendation or any termination pursuant to Section 9.1(f) taking effect, any amendment to the price or any other material term of a Superior Proposal (such amended Superior Proposal, a “Modified Superior Proposal”) shall require a new Notice of Superior Proposal and a new Notice Period (equal to the greater of one (1) Business Day and the remaining time under the previous Notice Period) with respect to such Modified Superior Proposal), during which Notice Period the Company will and will cause its Representatives to negotiate in good faith with Parent so that Parent may propose an adjustment to this Agreement or any terms hereof for the purpose of causing the Acquisition Proposal to no longer be a Superior Proposal, and (2) unless following the end of the current Notice Period, the Company Board (or any duly constituted committee thereof) concludes in good faith, after consultation with the Company’s outside legal counsel and after taking into consideration any changes to this Agreement and the Transactions proposed by Parent in response to the Notice of Superior Proposal, that the Superior Proposal to which the Notice of Superior Proposal relates continues to be a Superior Proposal. For the avoidance of doubt, there may be multiple Notice Period extensions in the event of multiple Modified Superior Proposals.

7.6 Reasonable Best Efforts; Certain Notices.

(a) Except as expressly set forth in Section 7.5 or as otherwise provided hereby, each of the parties hereto shall use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all action and to do, or cause to be done, and to assist and cooperate with the other parties in doing all things necessary, proper or advisable to consummate and make effective the Transactions as promptly as practicable.

The parties will cooperate with each other with respect to obtaining all permits, consents, approvals, orders, waivers and authorizations of all third parties and Governmental Entities necessary or advisable to consummate and make effective the Transactions, and each party will keep the other apprised of the status of matters relating to completion of the Transactions subject to applicable Law. Subject to applicable Law, the Company and Parent will each use their reasonable best efforts to furnish to each other all information required for any application or other filing to be made pursuant to the rules and regulations of any applicable Law in connection with the Transactions. In exercising the foregoing right, each of the parties will act reasonably and as promptly as practicable.

(c) Each of Parent and the Company will promptly advise the other upon receiving any communication from any Governmental Entity and any material communication given or received in connection with any proceeding by a private party, and will promptly provide copies of any such communication to the other party, in each case in connection with the Transactions.

(d) Each of Parent and the Company will use its respective reasonable best efforts to obtain, as soon as possible, confirmation from the applicable Governmental Entities that such Governmental Entities will not recommend that the Company’s security clearances be revoked, suspended or downgraded as a result of the consummation of the Transactions. The Company shall, and shall use reasonable best efforts to cause its employees to, make all filings or notifications or such other actions as are necessary or appropriate in order to prevent the security clearances of the Company and their respective employees from being revoked, suspended or downgraded.

(e) The Company shall notify the Defense Security Service of the change in its ownership in accordance with Section 1-302(g)(1) of the National Industrial Security Program Operation Manual promptly after the date of this Agreement and, in any case, prior to the Closing.

Subject to Sections 7.5(e) and (f), the Proxy Statement shall (i) include a description of the Company Board Recommendation to its stockholders that the Company Stockholder Approval be given with respect to the Merger and (ii) comply in all respects with any applicable provisions of NRS 92A.300 to 92A.500, inclusive, and include a copy of such statutes, as then amended to date.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company Stockholder Approval is required by Law to consummate the Merger, Merger Sub may (at its election), to the extent permissible under Law and the Articles of Incorporation and the Bylaws, act by written consent in lieu of the Company Stockholders Meeting to approve and adopt this Agreement and the Merger, in which case the Company shall, in accordance with and subject to the requirements of applicable Law, as promptly as practicable after such action by written consent, file the Proxy Statement with the SEC and cause the Proxy Statement to be printed and mailed to the stockholders of the Company so as to enable the action by written consent to become effective as promptly as practicable under applicable Law. If there shall occur any event that, in the judgment of the Company Board

after consultation with its legal counsel, should be set forth in an amendment or supplement to the Proxy Statement, the Company shall promptly prepare and mail to its stockholders such an amendment or supplement. Parent and Merger Sub shall cooperate with the Company in the preparation of the Proxy Statement or any amendment or supplement thereto and shall furnish the Company with all information required to be included therein with respect to Parent or Merger Sub. Notwithstanding the foregoing, prior to filing or mailing the Proxy Statement (or any amendment or supplement thereto) or responding to any comments of the SEC with respect thereto, the Company (i) shall provide Parent a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such document or response (including the proposed final version of such document or response) and (ii) shall consider in good faith all comments reasonably proposed by Parent. The Company shall promptly notify Parent upon the receipt of any comments from the SEC or any request from the SEC for amendments or supplements to the Proxy Statement and shall provide Parent with copies of all correspondence between it and its Representatives, on the one hand, and the SEC, on the other hand, with respect to the Proxy Statement.

(b) Parent shall provide to the Company all information concerning Parent and Merger Sub as may be reasonably requested by the Company in writing in connection with the Proxy Statement and shall otherwise assist and cooperate with the Company in the preparation of the Proxy Statement and resolution of comments of the SEC or its staff related thereto. Parent will cause the information relating to Parent or Merger Sub supplied by it for inclusion in the Proxy Statement, at the time of the mailing of the Proxy Statement or any amendments or supplements thereto, and at the time of the Company Stockholder Meeting, not to contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. Each of Parent and Merger Sub will furnish to the Company the information relating to it required by the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder to be set forth in the Proxy Statement promptly following written request therefor from the Company.

(c) If the Company Stockholder Approval is required by Law to consummate the Merger, then the Company shall have the right, at any time after the Offer Termination Date or the Offer Closing, to (and Parent and Merger Sub shall have the right, at any time after the Offer Termination Date or the Offer Closing, to request in writing that the Company, and upon receipt of such written request, the Company shall, as promptly as practicable and in any event within ten (10) Business Days) (x) establish a record date for and give notice of a meeting of its stockholders for the purpose of voting upon the approval of this Agreement (the “Company Stockholder Meeting”) and (y) mail to the Company’s stockholders as of the record date established for the Company Stockholder Meeting the Proxy Statement (the date the Company elects to take such action or is required to take such action, the ‘‘Proxy Date”). The Company shall duly call, convene and hold the Company Stockholder Meeting as promptly as reasonably practicable after the Proxy Date. If the Offer Closing shall have occurred, the record date for determining eligibility to vote at the Company Stockholder Meeting shall be after the date on which Merger Sub shall have purchased and paid for, and been recognized by the Company as the record owner of, the Company Shares duly tendered in, and not withdrawn prior to the expiration of, the Offer and any Subsequent Offering Period that has been provided for. If the Company Stockholder Approval is required by the NRS to consummate the Merger, and unless the Company Board shall have withdrawn, modified or qualified its recommendation thereof or

otherwise effected a Change of Recommendation, in accordance with Sections 7.5(e) or (f), the Company shall (i) advise in favor of this Agreement and the Merger and recommend to its stockholders that the Company Stockholder Approval be given, (ii) include such recommendation in the Proxy Statement and (iii) use reasonable best efforts to solicit proxies in favor of the approval of this Agreement and secure any approval of stockholders of the Company that is required by applicable Law to effect the Merger.

(d) From the date hereof until the Effective Time, Parent agrees (i) not to, or permit any of its Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, transfer, sell, assign or otherwise dispose of any Company Shares or interest in Company Shares acquired pursuant to the Offer and (ii) to cause all voting Company Shares acquired pursuant to the Offer and all other Company Shares owned by Parent or any of its Subsidiaries to be voted in favor of the Merger.

(e) If any information relating to the Company, Parent or any of their respective Affiliates, officers or directors should be discovered by the Company or Parent that should be set forth in an amendment or supplement to the Proxy Statement so that the Proxy Statement does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading, the party that discovers such information shall promptly notify the other parties hereto, and an appropriate amendment or supplement describing such information shall be filed with the SEC and, to the extent required by applicable Law, disseminated to the stockholders of the Company.

7.8 HSR Filings; Other Antitrust Filings.

(a) Parent and the Company undertake and agree to file as soon as practicable after the date hereof, but in any event not later than November 28, 2011, (i) a Notification and Report Form under the HSR Act with the Federal Trade Commission (the “FTC”) and the Antitrust Division of the Department of Justice (the “DOJ”) and (ii) all notifications and other filings required under any other applicable Regulatory Law.

(b) Each of Parent and the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain all requisite approvals and authorizations for the Transactions under the HSR Act or any other applicable Regulatory Law, and in furtherance of such obligation shall use its reasonable best efforts to (i) cooperate in all respects with each other in connection with any filing or submission and in connection with any request by the FTC, DOJ or other Governmental Entity, as applicable, for additional information and documents or any investigation or other inquiry, including any proceeding initiated by a private party, (ii) promptly inform the other party of any material communication received by such party from, or given by such party to, the FTC, the DOJ or any other Governmental Entity and of any material communication received or given in connection with any proceeding by a private party, in each case regarding any of the Transactions, (iii) permit the other party to review any communication given by it to, and consult with each other in advance of any meeting or conference with, the FTC, the DOJ or any such other Governmental Entity or, in connection with any proceeding by a private party, with any other Person, and to the extent permitted by the FTC, the DOJ or such other applicable Governmental Entity or other Person, give the other party the opportunity to attend and participate in such meetings and conferences (provided, however, that the parties may comply

with this clause (iii) by designating that certain sensitive information shall only be shared with the respective parties’ outside legal counsel), (iv) promptly take reasonable actions to respond to inquiries from the FTC, DOJ or any other Governmental Entity regarding the legality under any antitrust Law of the Transactions and (v) take or cause to be taken all other actions necessary, proper or advisable consistent with this Section 7.8 to cause the expiration or early termination of the applicable waiting periods, or receipt of required authorizations, as applicable, under the HSR Act as soon as practicable; provided, however, that all obligations in this Section 7.8(b) shall be subject to applicable Laws relating to exchange of information and attorney-client communication and privileges.

7.9 Nasdaq Delisting. Prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall cooperate with Parent and use its commercially reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and do or cause to be done all things, reasonably necessary, proper or advisable on its part under applicable Laws and rules and policies of the Nasdaq to enable the delisting of the Surviving Corporation and of the Company Shares from the Nasdaq as promptly as practicable after the Effective Time and the deregistration of the Company Shares under the Exchange Act as promptly as practicable after such delisting. The Company will use reasonable best efforts to cause the Company Shares to remain listed for trading on the Nasdaq at all times prior to the Effective Time.

7.10 Access to Information.

(a) Upon reasonable notice and subject to applicable Law relating to the exchange of information, the Company will, and will cause its Subsidiaries to, afford to the officers, employees, accountants, counsel and other representatives of Parent reasonable access, during normal business hours during the period prior to the Effective Time, to its officers and employees and all its properties, books, contracts, commitments and records (including Tax Returns, work papers of independent auditors and information concerning its personnel), which the parties agree may be afforded in whole or in part through electronic means. During such period, the Company will, and will cause its Subsidiaries to, make available to Parent a copy of each report, schedule, registration statement and other document filed or received by it during such period pursuant to the requirements of Securities Laws (other than reports or documents that the Company or Subsidiary of the Company is not permitted to disclose under applicable Law). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 7.10, the Company shall not be obligated to devote any resources to create any requested information that does not exist at the time of such request.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Company nor Parent nor any of their Subsidiaries will be required to provide access to or to disclose information where such access or disclosure would jeopardize the attorney-client privilege of such party or its Subsidiaries (provided, that the Company will nonetheless provide Parent and its Representatives with appropriate information regarding the factual basis underlying any circumstances that resulted in the preparation of such privileged analyses) or contravene any Law or binding Contract entered into prior to the date of this Agreement or entered into after the date of this Agreement in the ordinary course consistent with past practice (provided, that the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the consent of any such agreement’s counterparty to such inspection or disclosure and provided, further, that the Company shall not be required to pay any amount or waive any rights to obtain such consent). The parties will use their commercially reasonable efforts to make appropriate substitute arrangements to permit reasonable disclosure under circumstances in which the restrictions of the preceding sentence apply. Whenever any event occurs that is required to be set forth in an amendment or supplement to the Offer Documents, the Schedule 14D-9 or the Proxy Statement, the Company or Parent, as the case may be, will promptly inform the other party of such occurrence and cooperate in filing with the SEC and/or mailing to the stockholders of the Company of such amendment or supplement, in each case as promptly as practicable.

(c) All information provided to Parent and its representatives pursuant to this Section 7.10 shall be subject to the Confidentiality Agreement. The Confidentiality Agreement shall remain in full force and effect until Closing and, if this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Article 9, such Confidentiality Agreement shall continue in accordance with its terms.

(d) No investigation by Parent or any of its Representatives and no other receipt of information by Parent or any of its Representatives shall operate as a waiver or otherwise affect any representation or warranty of the Company or any covenant or other provision in this Agreement.

7.11 Public Statements. The Company, on the one hand, and Parent and Merger Sub, on the other hand, agree that, from the date hereof through the Closing Date, no public release or announcement concerning the Transactions shall be issued or made by any party without the prior consent of the other party or parties (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), except (a) as such release or announcement may be required by Law or the rules or regulations of the Nasdaq, the New York Stock Exchange or any applicable United States securities exchange, in which case the party required to make the release or announcement shall allow the other party or parties reasonable time (to the extent practicable) to review and comment on such release or announcement in advance of such issuance, and (b) that each of Parent, Merger Sub and the Company and their respective Affiliates may make such an announcement to their respective employees, customers and suppliers, after consultation with the other parties.

7.12 Directors and Officers Indemnification and Insurance.

(a) Without limiting any additional rights that any director or officer may have under any employment or indemnification agreement, for a period of six (6) years from and after the Effective Time, Parent and the Surviving Corporation (each, an “Indemnitor”) shall

indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law (and shall also advance expenses to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law), each present and former director, officer and employee of the Company or and its Subsidiaries (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”), against any costs or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages or liabilities incurred in connection with any Action, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, arising out of matters existing or occurring at or before the Effective Time, including the Transactions; provided, that, prior to any such advancement, an Indemnified Party shall deliver to such Indemnitor a written undertaking, executed personally or on such Indemnified Party’s behalf, to repay such advances if it is ultimately determined by an applicable Governmental Entity that he or she did not meet the prescribed standards of conduct for indemnification under applicable Law (which undertaking shall be an unlimited general obligation of such Indemnified Party but need not be secured and may be accepted without reference to financial ability to make repayment).

(b) Prior to the Applicable Time, the Company shall, and if the Company is unable to, Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation as of the Effective Time to, purchase prepaid, non-cancellable “tail” or “run-off” coverage on the existing policies of directors’ and officers’ liability and fiduciary liability insurance (true, correct and complete copies of which have been delivered to Parent or evidence of insurance if policies have not been issued yet for the current policy period) maintained by the Company as of the date of this Agreement (“D&O and Fiduciary Insurance”). Such tail or run-off coverage shall be for a claims reporting or discovery period of six (6) years from the Effective Time and otherwise on terms and conditions that are no less favorable than as provided in the Company’s existing policies as of the date hereof; provided, however, if the Company is unable to purchase such D&O and Fiduciary Insurance prior to the Effective Time and such D&O and Fiduciary Insurance is not available at a cost per annum less than two hundred fifty percent (250%) of the last annual premium paid prior to the date hereof under the Company’s D&O and Fiduciary Insurance policies (the “Insurance Cap”), then Parent shall cause to be obtained as much comparable insurance as can reasonably be obtained in its good faith judgment at a cost up to but not exceeding the Insurance Cap. If the Company is unable to purchase such D&O and Fiduciary Insurance prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall cooperate with Parent as necessary to enable Parent to obtain the aforementioned D&O and Fiduciary Insurance, including authorizing Parent, through its insurance representative, to solicit D&O and Fiduciary Insurance coverage proposals directly with the Company’s current insurance companies.

(c) If the Surviving Corporation or any of its respective successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges with or into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving limited liability company, partnership or other entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers or conveys all or substantially all of its assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of the Surviving Corporation assumes the obligations set forth in this Section 7.12.

(d) This Section 7.12 is intended for the benefit of, and to grant third-party rights to, the Indemnified Parties and shall be binding on all successors and assigns of the Company, Parent and the Surviving Corporation.

(e) The rights of the Indemnified Parties under this Section 7.12 shall be in addition to any rights such Indemnified Parties may have under the Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or under any applicable Contracts or Laws.

(f) Any Indemnified Party wishing to claim indemnification under this Section 7.12, upon learning of any claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation described above, will promptly notify the Indemnitor; provided, however, that failure to so notify the Indemnitor will not affect the obligations of the Indemnitor under this Section 7.12 unless and to the extent that the Indemnitor is actually and materially prejudiced thereby.

7.13 Stockholder Litigation. Subject to Section 4.5, the Company shall keep Parent informed of, give Parent the opportunity to participate in the defense or settlement of, and cooperate with Parent in connection with, any stockholder litigation or claim against the Company and/or its directors or officers relating to the Transactions, whether commenced prior to or after the execution and delivery of this Agreement. The Company agrees that it will not settle or compromise or offer to settle or compromise any litigation commenced prior to or after the date of this Agreement against the Company or any of its directors or officers by any stockholder of the Company relating to this Agreement, the Offer, the Top-Up Option, the Merger or any other Transaction, without the prior written consent of Parent (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

7.14 Rule 14d-10 Matters. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Company will not, after the date hereof, enter into, establish, amend or modify any plan, program, agreement or arrangement pursuant to which compensation is paid or payable, or pursuant to which benefits are provided, in each case to any current or former director, manager, officer, employee or independent contractor of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries unless, prior to such entry into, establishment, amendment or modification, the Compensation Committee (each member of which the Company Board determined is an “independent director” within the meaning of Nasdaq Rule 5605(a)(2) and shall be an “independent director” in accordance with the requirements of Rule 14d-10(d)(2) under the Exchange Act at the time of any such action) shall have taken all such steps as may be necessary to (a) approve as an “employment compensation, severance or other employee benefit arrangement” within the meaning of Rule 14d-10(d)(1) under the Exchange Act each such plan, program, agreement or arrangement and (b) satisfy the requirements of the non-exclusive safe harbor under Rule 14d-10(d)(2) under the Exchange Act with respect to such plan, program, agreement or arrangement. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing contained in this Section 7.14 shall permit the Company to take any action that would be prohibited under any other provision of this Agreement, including under any covenant in Section 7.2 hereof.

7.15 Takeover Laws. Each of the Company and the Company Board will take all actions to cause the Transactions (a) not to be subject to requirements imposed by any Takeover Law and will take all necessary steps within its reasonable control to exempt (or ensure the continued exemption of) the Transactions from any applicable Takeover Law, as now or hereafter in effect and (b) to comply with any Takeover Provisions and will take all necessary steps within its reasonable control to make the Transactions comply with (or continue to comply with) any Takeover Provisions. If any Takeover Law or Takeover Provision becomes applicable to the Transactions, each of the Company and the Company Board will, upon the request of

Parent or Merger Sub, use its reasonable best efforts to ensure that the Transactions may be consummated as promptly as practicable on the terms contemplated by this Agreement and otherwise to minimize the effect of such Takeover Law or Takeover Provision on the Transactions.

The definitions contained in this Agreement are applicable to the singular as well as the plural forms of such terms.

10.11 Jurisdiction. The parties hereby irrevocably submit to the personal jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York located in the Borough of Manhattan and the Federal courts of the United States of America located in the Southern District of New York solely in respect of the interpretation and enforcement of the provisions of this Agreement and of the documents referred to in this Agreement, and in respect of the transactions contemplated hereby, and hereby waive, and agree not to assert, as a defense in any action, suit or proceeding for the interpretation or enforcement hereof or of any such document, that it is not subject thereto or that such action, suit or proceeding may not be brought or is not maintainable in said courts or that the venue thereof may not be appropriate or that this Agreement or any such document may not be enforced in or by such courts, and the parties hereto irrevocably agree that all claims with respect to such action or proceeding shall be heard and determined in such a New York State or Federal court.

10.15 Severability. Should any provision of this Agreement be judicially declared to be invalid, unenforceable or void, such decision will not have the effect of invalidating or voiding the remainder of this Agreement, and the part or parts of this Agreement so held to be invalid, unenforceable or void will be deemed to have been stricken herefrom, and the remainder will have the same force and effectiveness as if such stricken part or parts had never been included herein so long as the economic or legal substance of the Transactions is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party. Upon such a determination, the parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner in order that the Transactions be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.

10.16 Waiver of Trial by Jury. EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY THAT MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE EACH SUCH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR TO THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT.
