1
ARTICLE I
THE OFFER
THE OFFER
Section 1.1 The Offer.
(a) On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, as promptly as
reasonably practicable after the date hereof, and in any event within seven (7) Business Days (as
defined in Section 9.3(b) hereof) after such date, Merger Sub shall, and Parent shall cause
Merger Sub to, commence (within the meaning of Rule 14d-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended (including the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, the “Exchange
Act”)) the Offer. The obligations of Merger Sub, and of Parent to cause Merger Sub, to accept
for payment and pay for any Shares tendered pursuant to the Offer and not validly withdrawn
pursuant to the Offer shall be subject only to the satisfaction or waiver by Merger Sub of the
conditions set forth in Exhibit A hereto and the terms and conditions hereof (collectively,
the “Offer Conditions”). Merger Sub may, in its sole discretion, waive any Offer Condition
or modify the terms or conditions of the Offer, except that, without the prior written consent of
the Company, Merger Sub shall not (i) reduce the Offer Price, (ii) change the form of consideration
payable in the Offer (other than by adding consideration), (iii) reduce the number of Shares to be
purchased in the Offer, (iv) waive or change the Minimum Condition (as such term is defined in
Exhibit A), (v) add to the Offer Conditions or modify them in a manner adverse to the
holders of Shares, (vi) extend the expiration of the Offer except as required or permitted by
Section 1.1(b), (vii) modify any term of the Offer set forth in this Agreement in a manner
adverse to the holders of Shares, or (viii) abandon or terminate the Offer, except as permitted by
this Agreement.
(b) The Offer shall initially expire at midnight, New York City time, on the date that is
twenty (20) business days (for purposes of this Section 1.1(b), business days shall be
calculated in accordance with Rule 14d-1(g)(3) under the Exchange Act) after the commencement of
the Offer, except as may otherwise be required by applicable Law (as defined in Section
4.4(a) hereof); provided, however, that if at any scheduled expiration date of
the Offer (including any extension thereof), the Offer Conditions shall not have been satisfied or
waived, and if this Agreement shall not have been terminated in accordance with Article
VIII, Merger Sub may (in its sole discretion, without consent of the Company), and, to the
extent requested in writing by the Company prior to such scheduled expiration date, shall, extend
the Offer for one or more additional consecutive periods of up to twenty (20) business days per
extension (with the length of such periods to be determined in the sole discretion of Parent
consistent with applicable Law); provided, further, that in no event shall Merger
Sub be obligated to extend the Offer past the date that is 150 days after commencement thereof (the
“Outside Date”); provided, further, that if this Agreement shall not have
been terminated in accordance with Article VIII, Merger Sub shall also extend the Offer for
any additional period required by any rule, regulation, interpretation or position of the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) or the staff thereof; provided,
further, that Merger Sub may, in its sole discretion, provide one or more subsequent
offering periods (each, a “Subsequent Offering Period”) after the expiration of the Offer,
in accordance with Rule 14d-11 under the Exchange Act, if, as of the commencement of each such
Subsequent Offering Period, there shall not have been validly tendered and not withdrawn pursuant
to the Offer and any prior Subsequent Offering Period that number of Shares necessary
to permit the Merger to be effected without approval of the shareholders of the
2
Company, in
accordance with Section 302A.621 of the Business Corporation Act of the State of Minnesota (the
“MBCA”).
(c) Subject to the terms of the Offer and this Agreement and the satisfaction of all of the
Offer Conditions, Merger Sub shall irrevocably accept for payment (the time of such acceptance, the
“Acceptance Time”) and pay for all Shares validly tendered and not validly withdrawn
pursuant to the Offer as soon as practicable after the expiration date thereof (as the same may be
extended and re-extended) or (in the case of any Shares tendered during any Subsequent Offering
Period) as soon as practicable following the valid tender thereof. For the avoidance of doubt, if,
at any scheduled expiration date of the Offer, all of the Offer Conditions have been satisfied or
waived and this Agreement has not otherwise been terminated in accordance with its terms, Merger
Sub shall on such date accept for payment all Shares validly tendered and not validly withdrawn
pursuant to the Offer in accordance with this Agreement and shall, as soon as practicable after the
Acceptance Time, pay for such Shares. For the further avoidance of doubt, the Acceptance Time
shall not be extended by any Subsequent Offering Period.
(d) Merger Sub shall timely file with the Commissioner of Commerce of the State of Minnesota a
registration statement related to the Offer required to be filed pursuant to Chapter 80B of the
Minnesota Statutes (the “Minnesota Registration Statement”) and shall disseminate in the
Offer Documents (as defined in Section 1.2 hereof) the information set forth in the
Minnesota Registration Statement to the extent and within the time period required by Chapter 80B
of the Minnesota Statutes. Merger Sub shall promptly file with the Commissioner of Commerce of the
State of Minnesota all materials referred to in Section 80B.04 of the Minnesota Statutes that
Parent and Merger Sub file with the SEC or otherwise make available to the shareholders of the
Company.
Section 1.2 Offer Documents. As promptly as reasonably practicable on the date of commencement of the Offer, Parent and
Merger Sub shall (a) file a Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO (together with all amendments,
supplements and exhibits thereto, the “Schedule TO”) with respect to the Offer, which shall
contain or shall incorporate by reference an offer to purchase (the “Offer to Purchase”)
and forms of the related letter of transmittal and form of summary advertisement (the Schedule TO
and the Offer to Purchase, together with all amendments, supplements and exhibits thereto, the
“Offer Documents”) and (b) cause the Offer Documents to be disseminated to the Company’s
shareholders, in each case as and to the extent required by the Exchange Act. The Company shall
promptly provide Parent and Merger Sub in writing, for inclusion in the Offer Documents, all
information concerning the Company that is required under the Exchange Act to be included in the
Offer Documents. Each of Parent, Merger Sub and the Company agrees promptly to correct any
information provided by it for use in the Offer Documents if and to the extent that such
information becomes false or misleading in any material respect, and each of Parent and Merger Sub
further agrees to take all steps necessary to cause the Offer Documents as so corrected to be filed
with the SEC and to be disseminated to the Company’s shareholders, in each case as and to the
extent required by the Exchange Act. The Company and its counsel shall
be given a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on the Offer Documents and any
amendments and supplements thereto prior to the filing thereof with the SEC, and Parent shall give
reasonable and good faith consideration to all additions, deletions, changes and other comments
suggested by the Company and its counsel. In addition, Parent and
3
Merger Sub shall provide to the
Company and its counsel any comments, whether written or oral, that Parent or Merger Sub may
receive from the SEC or its staff with respect to the Offer Documents promptly after the receipt of
such comments, and any written or oral responses thereto. The Company and its counsel shall be
given a reasonable opportunity to review and comment upon such responses and Parent shall give
reasonable consideration to all additions, deletions, changes or other comments suggested by the
Company and its counsel.
Section 1.3 Company Actions.
(a) The Company hereby consents to the Offer, the Merger and the other transactions
contemplated by this Agreement and, so long as no Adverse Recommendation Change (as defined in
Section 6.4(d) hereof) has occurred in accordance with Section 6.4, to the
inclusion in the Offer Documents of the Company Board Determination and the recommendation of the
Company Board recommending that the holders of Shares accept the Offer, tender their Shares to
Merger Sub pursuant to the Offer and, if necessary under applicable Law, adopt this Agreement and
approve the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby in accordance with the provisions
of the MBCA (the “Company Recommendation”).
(b) On the date of filing by Parent and Merger Sub of the Offer Documents, the Company shall
file with the SEC and disseminate to the Company’s shareholders a Solicitation/Recommendation
Statement on Schedule 14D-9 (such Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9, together
with any amendments, supplements and exhibits thereto, the “Schedule 14D-9”) containing the
Company Board Determination and the Company Recommendation, and the Company shall cause the
Schedule 14D-9 to be disseminated to the Company’s shareholders (provided that Merger Sub
shall use reasonable best efforts to cause the Schedule 14D-9 to be disseminated concurrently with
and in the same mailing envelope as the Offer Documents, if requested by the Company) as required
by Rule 14d-9 under the Exchange Act. Each of Parent and Merger Sub shall promptly furnish to the
Company in writing all information concerning Parent and Merger Sub that is required by the
Exchange Act to be included in the Schedule 14D-9. Each of the Company, Parent and Merger Sub
agrees promptly to correct any information provided by it for use in the Schedule 14D-9 if and to
the extent that such information becomes false or misleading in any material respect, and the
Company further agrees to take all steps necessary to cause the Schedule 14D-9 as so corrected to
be filed with the SEC and to be disseminated to the Company’s shareholders, in each case, as and to
the extent required by applicable Law. Parent, Merger Sub and their counsel shall be given a
reasonable opportunity to review and comment on the Schedule 14D-9 and any amendments and
supplements thereto prior to the filing thereof with the SEC and the Company shall give reasonable
and good faith consideration to all additions, deletions, changes or other comments suggested by
Parent, Merger Sub and their counsel. In addition, the Company agrees to provide Parent, Merger
Sub and their counsel any comments, whether written or oral, that the Company or its counsel may
receive from the SEC or its staff with respect to the Schedule 14D-9 promptly after the receipt of
such comments, and any written or oral responses thereto. Parent,
Merger Sub and their counsel shall be given a reasonable opportunity to review and comment
upon such responses, and the Company shall give reasonable consideration to all additions,
deletions, changes or other comments suggested by Parent, Merger Sub and their counsel.
4
(c) In connection with the Offer, the Company shall promptly furnish Parent and Merger Sub
with mailing labels containing the names and addresses of the record holders of the Shares as of a
recent date and of those persons becoming record holders subsequent to such date, together with
copies of all lists of shareholders, security position listings, any non-objecting beneficial owner
lists, computer files in the Company’s possession or control and all other information in the
Company’s possession or control regarding the beneficial owners of the Shares, and shall promptly
furnish Parent and Merger Sub with such additional shareholder information (including, but not
limited to, periodic updates of such information) and assistance as Parent, Merger Sub or their
agents or Representatives (as defined in Section 6.4(b) hereof) may reasonably request for
the purpose of communicating the Offer to the record and beneficial holders of Shares.
(d) The Company shall promptly file with the Commissioner of Commerce of the State of
Minnesota all materials referred to in Section 80B.04 of the Minnesota Statutes that the Company
files with the SEC or otherwise makes available to the shareholders of the Company.
Section 1.4 Directors.
(a) Subject to compliance with applicable Law and the articles of incorporation and bylaws of
the Company, promptly upon the payment by Merger Sub for Shares pursuant to the Offer representing
at least such number of Shares as shall satisfy the Minimum Condition (the “Election
Time”), and at all times thereafter, Parent shall be entitled to elect or designate such number
of directors on the Company Board (“Directors”), rounded up to the next whole number, as is
equal to the product of the total number of Directors (determined after giving effect to the
Directors elected or appointed pursuant to this sentence) multiplied by the percentage that the
aggregate number of Shares beneficially owned by Parent and Merger Sub and their respective
Affiliates (as defined in Section 9.3(a) hereof) at such time (including Shares so accepted
for payment pursuant to the Offer and any Top-Up Shares (as defined in Section 1.5(a)
hereof) actually acquired by Merger Sub) bears to the total number of Shares then outstanding
(disregarding any outstanding Company Stock Options or Company Warrants or any other rights to
acquire Shares). In furtherance thereof, the Company shall, upon request of Parent, subject to
compliance with applicable Law and the articles of incorporation and bylaws of the Company,
promptly (and in any event no later than one Business Day after such request by Parent) (i) take
all such actions as are necessary or desirable to appoint to the Company Board the individuals so
designated by Parent pursuant to this Section 1.4, including promptly filling vacancies or
newly created directorships on the Company Board, promptly increasing the size of the Company Board
(including by action of the Company Board and by the amendment of the bylaws of the Company, if
necessary) and/or promptly seeking the resignations of such number of incumbent directors as is
necessary or desirable to enable Parent’s designees to be elected to the Company Board and (ii)
cause Parent’s designees to be elected to the Company Board. The Company shall, upon request of
Parent at any time after the Election Time, subject to compliance with applicable Law and the
articles of incorporation and bylaws of the Company, also promptly use
reasonable best efforts to cause individuals 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 (including, without limitation, the audit committee), (B) each board
of directors (or similar body) of each Subsidiary of the Company and (C) each committee (or similar
body) of each such board.
5
(b) The Company’s obligations to elect or designate Parent’s designees to the Company Board
shall be subject to Section 14(f) of the Exchange Act and Rule 14f-1 thereunder. Subject to
Parent’s compliance with the immediately following sentence in this Section 1.4(b), the
Company shall promptly take all actions required pursuant to Section 14(f) of the Exchange Act and
Rule 14f-1 in order to fulfill its obligations under this Section 1.4, including mailing to
shareholders, together with the Schedule 14D-9 if practicable and in any event no later than ten
days prior to the Acceptance Time, the information required under Section 14(f) and Rule 14f-1 as
is necessary to enable Parent’s designees to be elected or designated to the Company Board. Parent
shall supply to the Company any information with respect to itself and its officers, Directors and
Affiliates to the extent required for the Company to comply with Section 14(f) of the Exchange Act
and Rule 14f-1. The provisions of Sections 1.4(a) and (b) are in addition to and
shall not limit any rights that any of Parent, Merger Sub or any of their respective Affiliates may
have as a record holder or beneficial owner of Shares or a matter of applicable Law with respect to
the election of directors or otherwise. In addition, in connection with the Offer, the Company
shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, and shall use reasonable best efforts to cause their
respective Representatives to, cooperate with Parent and Merger Sub to disseminate the Offer
Documents to holders of Shares held in or subject to any Company Plan (as defined in Section
4.11(a) hereof) and to permit such holder of Shares to tender their Shares in the Offer.
(c) In the event that Parent’s designees are elected or designated to the Company Board
pursuant to this Section 1.4, then, until the Effective Time (as defined in Section
2.3 hereof), the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to cause the Company Board to
maintain at least three Directors who are members of the Company Board on the date of this
Agreement and who are independent for purposes of Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act and the rules
of the NYSE Amex (the “Independent Directors”) and are eligible to serve on the Company’s
audit committee under the rules of the Exchange Act and the NYSE Amex, and at least one of whom is
an “audit committee financial expert,” as defined in Item 407(d)(5)(ii) of Regulation S-K and the
instructions thereto; provided, however, that if the number of Independent
Directors is reduced below three for any reason, the remaining Independent Director(s) shall be
entitled to nominate an individual or individuals to fill such vacancy who shall be deemed to be
Independent Directors for purposes of this Agreement and who are eligible to serve on the Company’s
audit committee under the rules of the Exchange Act and the NYSE Amex (and, if applicable, at least
one of whom is an “audit committee financial expert,” as defined in Item 407(d)(5)(ii) of
Regulation S-K and the instructions thereto), or, if no Independent Directors then remain, the
other Directors shall designate three individuals to fill such vacancies who are independent for
purposes of Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act and who are eligible to serve on the Company’s audit
committee under the rules of the Exchange Act and the NYSE Amex and at least one of whom is an
“audit committee financial expert,” as defined in Item 407(d)(5)(ii) of Regulation S-K and the
instructions thereto, and such individuals shall be deemed to be Independent Directors for purposes
of this Agreement. The Company and the Company Board shall promptly take all action as may be
necessary to comply with their
obligations under this Section 1.4(c). Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to
the contrary, from and after the time, if any, that Parent’s designees pursuant to this Section
1.4 constitute a majority of the Company Board and prior to the Effective Time, subject to the
terms hereof, any amendment or termination of this Agreement by the Company, any extension by the
Company of the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of Parent or Merger
Sub or waiver of any of the Company’s rights hereunder, shall require the concurrence of
6
a majority
of the Independent Directors if such amendment, termination, extension or waiver would reasonably
be expected to have an adverse effect on any holders of Shares other than Parent or Merger Sub.
Section 1.5 The Top-Up Option.
(a) The Company hereby irrevocably grants to Merger Sub an option (the “Top-Up
Option”), exercisable only upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 1.5,
to purchase, following the Acceptance Time, that number of Shares (the “Top-Up Shares”)
equal to the lowest number of Shares that, when added to the number of Shares owned by Parent and
Merger Sub at the time of exercise, would constitute one share more than ninety percent of the
total Shares then outstanding (determined on a fully diluted basis and including the issuance of
the Top-Up Shares), at a price per Share equal to the Offer Price.
(b) The Top-Up Option shall be exercisable once in whole and not in part at any time during
the twenty Business Day period immediately following the Acceptance Time or if any Subsequent
Offering Period is provided, during the twenty Business Day period following the expiration date of
such Subsequent Offering Period; provided, however, that in no event shall the
Top-Up Option be exercisable (i) for a number of Shares in excess of the Company’s then authorized
and unissued shares of common stock or (ii) if, after the exercise of the Top-Up Option, Parent and
Merger Sub would not own a sufficient number of Shares to cause a short-form merger of the Company
pursuant to Section 302A.621 of the MBCA; provided, further, that the Top-Up Option
shall automatically terminate upon the earlier to occur of (A) the Effective Time and (B) the
termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms.
(c) In the event that Merger Sub wishes to exercise the Top-Up Option, Merger Sub shall so
notify the Company in writing, and shall set forth in such notice (i) the number of Shares that
will be owned by Parent and Merger Sub immediately preceding the purchase of the Top-Up Shares 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 the number of Shares then outstanding and the number of Top-Up
Shares. At the Top-Up Closing, Merger Sub shall pay to the Company in cash the aggregate purchase
price required to be paid for the Top-Up Shares (calculated by multiplying the number of such
Top-Up Shares by the Offer Price) and the Company shall cause to be issued to Merger Sub a
certificate representing the Top-Up Shares, which certificate may include any legends required by
applicable securities Laws; provided, however, at Parent’s election, the aggregate
purchase price for the Top-Up Shares may be paid in cash, through the issuance of a full-recourse
promissory note by Merger Sub, bearing simple interest at five percent (5%) per annum and due on
the first anniversary of
the Top-Up Closing, which promissory note may be prepaid, in whole or in part, without premium
or penalty, or a combination of cash and such a promissory note.
(d) Merger Sub acknowledges that the Shares that Merger Sub may acquire upon exercise of the
Top-Up Option will not be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
“Securities Act”), and will be issued in reliance upon an exemption thereunder for
transactions not involving a public offering. Merger Sub represents and warrants to the Company
that Merger Sub is, and will be upon the purchase of the Top-Up Shares, an
7
“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 its own account, 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).
Section 1.6 Short-Form Merger. If, after the consummation of the Offer and any exercise of the Top-Up Option, the number
of Shares beneficially owned by Parent, Merger Sub and any other Affiliates of Parent collectively
represent at least ninety percent of the then-outstanding Shares, upon the terms and subject to the
conditions of this Agreement, Parent shall cause Merger Sub to, and the Company shall execute and
deliver such documents and instruments and take such other actions as Parent or Merger Sub may
reasonably request, in order to cause the Merger to be completed as promptly as reasonably
practicable without a meeting of the shareholders of the Company as provided in Section 302A.621 of
the MBCA, and otherwise as provided in Articles II and III below.

Company, Parent, Merger Sub or the holders of any shares of capital stock of the Company, Parent or
Merger Sub:
(a) Each Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than
Shares to be canceled in accordance with Section 3.1(b) and other than any Dissenting
Shares as defined in Section 3.5 hereof), shall thereupon be converted automatically into,
and shall thereafter represent, the right to receive $8.78 in cash (the “Offer Price”),
without interest, and subject to deduction for any required withholding Tax (as defined in
Section 4.14(l)(i) hereof) (the “Merger Consideration”). From and after the
Effective Time, all such Shares shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled
and shall cease to exist, and each holder of such a Share shall cease to have any rights with
respect thereto, except the right to receive the Merger Consideration therefor upon the surrender
of such Share in accordance with Section 3.3.

respective Subsidiaries or by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries immediately prior to the
Effective Time shall automatically be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist, and no
consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor.
(c) Each share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Merger Sub issued and
outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted automatically into and
become one (1) validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable share of common stock, par value $0.01
per share, of the Surviving Corporation.
Section 3.2 Treatment of Options, Restricted Stock and Warrants.
(a) At the Effective Time, each option (each, a “Company Stock Option”) to purchase
Shares granted under any employee, consultant, representative or Director stock option, stock
purchase or equity compensation plan, arrangement or agreement of the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company Equity Plans”), whether vested or unvested, that
is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be canceled and, in exchange therefor
(and in full satisfaction thereof), the Surviving Corporation shall pay, and Parent shall cause the
Surviving Corporation to pay, to each Person who, at the time of such cancellation, was holding any
such canceled Company Stock Option as soon as practicable following the Effective Time an amount in
cash (without interest, and subject to deduction for any required withholding Taxes) equal to the
product of (i) the excess (if any) of the Merger Consideration over the exercise price per Share
under such Company Stock Option and (ii) the number of Shares subject to such Company Stock Option;
provided, that if the exercise price per Share under any such Company
Stock Option is equal to or greater than the Merger Consideration, then such Company Stock
Option shall be canceled without any cash payment being made in respect thereof.
(b) Immediately prior to the Effective Time, all unvested restricted stock other than
Forfeited Restricted Stock (the “Unvested Restricted Stock”) granted under the Company
Equity Plans outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall vest (i.e., all restrictions
on the restricted stock shall lapse) and, along with all other vested restricted stock, shall be
treated in accordance with Section 3.1(a). Immediately prior to the Effective Time, each
share of Forfeited Restricted Stock shall be forfeited and cancelled and none of the holders
thereof shall receive or be entitled to any consideration in connection therewith. Concurrent with
or promptly following the execution of this Agreement, the Company shall adopt resolutions and take
all actions necessary to provide that the Forfeited Restricted Stock is forfeited and cancelled
immediately prior to the Effective Time and none of the holders thereof are entitled to any
consideration in connection therewith.
(c) Following the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall comply with the terms and
conditions of each warrant to purchase Shares (the “Company Warrants”), including the
requirements of Section 9(b) of each of the Company Warrants.
Section 3.3 Payment.
(a) Prior to the Effective Time, Merger Sub shall enter into an agreement with the Company’s
transfer agent or other paying agent selected by Parent and reasonably acceptable to
10
the Company
(the “Paying Agent”). At or prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall deliver or cause to
be delivered to the Paying Agent cash in an amount sufficient to pay the aggregate Merger
Consideration in accordance with Section 3.1(a) (the “Payment Fund”). The Payment
Fund shall not be used for any purpose other than to fund payments due pursuant to Section
3.1(a), except as provided in this Agreement. Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall pay
all charges and expenses, including those of the Paying Agent, incurred by them in connection with
the payment of the Merger Consideration and other amounts contemplated by this Article III.
(b) As soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation
shall cause the Paying Agent to mail to each holder of record of (i) a certificate or certificates
(“Certificates”) that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding
Shares or (ii) uncertificated Shares represented by book-entry (“Book-Entry Shares”) which,
in each case, were converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration with respect
thereto pursuant to Section 3.1(a), (A) a form of letter of transmittal (which shall
specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates or
Book-Entry Shares held by such Person (as defined in Section 9.3(e) hereof) shall pass,
only upon proper delivery of the Certificates to the Paying Agent or, in the case of Book-Entry
Shares, upon adherence to the procedures set forth in the letter of transmittal, as applicable, and
shall be in customary form and contain such other provisions as Parent or the Paying Agent may
reasonably specify) and (B) customary instructions for use in effecting the surrender of
Certificates or Book-Entry Shares in exchange for the Merger Consideration payable with respect
thereto pursuant to Section 3.1(a) and customary instructions
consistent with Section 3.3(e) for use in effecting payment for lost, stolen or
destroyed Certificates. Upon surrender of a Certificate or Book-Entry Share to the Paying Agent,
together with such letter of transmittal, properly completed and duly executed, and such other
documents as the Paying Agent may reasonably require, the holder of such Certificate or Book-Entry
Share shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor the Merger Consideration for each Share
formerly represented by such Certificate or Book-Entry Share (in each case, subject to deduction
for any required withholding Taxes), and such Certificate or Book-Entry Share shall forthwith be
canceled. No interest shall be paid or shall accrue on any cash payable upon surrender of any
Certificate or Book-Entry Share. In the event that the Merger Consideration is to be paid to a
Person other than the Person in whose name any Certificate is registered, it shall be a condition
of payment that the Certificate so surrendered shall be properly endorsed or otherwise in proper
form for transfer, that the signatures on such Certificate or any related stock power shall be
properly guaranteed and that the Person requesting such payment shall pay any transfer or other
Taxes required by reason of such payment to a Person other than the registered holder of such
Certificate or establish to the satisfaction of the Surviving Corporation that such Taxes have been
paid or are not applicable. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 3.3, each
Certificate or Book-Entry Share shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent
only the right to receive upon such surrender or transfer the Merger Consideration pursuant to
Section 3.1(a) payable in respect of Shares theretofore represented by such Certificate or
Book-Entry Shares, as applicable, without any interest thereon.
(c) The payment of the applicable Merger Consideration upon the surrender for exchange of
Certificates or Book-Entry Shares in accordance with the terms of this Article III shall be
deemed to have been delivered and paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to the
11
Shares
formerly represented by such Certificates or Book-Entry Shares. At the Effective Time, the stock
transfer books of the Company shall be closed and there shall be no further registration of
transfers on the stock transfer books of the Surviving Corporation of the Shares that were
outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates
are presented to the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent for transfer or transfer is sought
for Book-Entry Shares, such Certificates or Book-Entry Shares shall be canceled and exchanged as
provided in this Article III, subject to applicable Law in the case of Dissenting Shares
(as defined in Section 3.5 hereof). The Paying Agent shall invest the cash included in the
Payment Fund as directed by Parent; provided, however, that no such investment
income or gain or loss thereon shall affect the amounts payable to holders of Shares. Any interest
and other income resulting from such investments shall be the sole and exclusive property of Parent
payable to Parent upon its request, and no part of such earnings shall accrue to the benefit of
holders of Shares.
(d) Any portion of the Payment Fund (and any interest or other income earned thereon) that
remains undistributed to the holders of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares nine months after the
Effective Time shall be delivered to the Surviving Corporation or one of its Affiliates upon
demand, and any holders of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares who have not theretofore complied with
this Article III shall thereafter look only to the Surviving Corporation, as general
creditors thereof, for payment of the Merger Consideration with respect to Shares formerly
represented by such Certificate or Book-Entry Share, without interest. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, neither the Surviving Corporation nor any of its Affiliates shall be liable to any
holder of Shares for any amount paid to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned
property, escheat or similar Laws. Any amounts remaining unclaimed by holders of Shares two
years after the Effective Time (or such earlier date immediately prior to such time when the
amounts would otherwise escheat to or become property of any Governmental Entity (as defined in
Section 4.4(b) hereof)) shall become, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, the
property of the Surviving Corporation free and clear of any claims or interest of any Person
previously entitled thereto.
(e) If any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an
affidavit, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Parent, of that fact by the Person
claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by Parent or the Paying
Agent, the posting by such Person of a bond in such amount as Parent or the Paying Agent may
determine is reasonably necessary or advisable as indemnity against any claim that may be made
against it or the Surviving Corporation with respect to such Certificate, the Paying Agent will
deliver in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate the Merger Consideration payable
in respect thereof pursuant to this Agreement.
(f) Any portion of the Merger Consideration made available to the Paying Agent pursuant to
Section 3.3(a) to pay for Dissenting Shares for which appraisal rights have been perfected
shall be returned to the Surviving Corporation or one of its Affiliates, upon demand.
Section 3.4 Withholding Rights. Parent, the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent shall be entitled to deduct and
withhold from the consideration otherwise payable to any holder of Shares, Company Stock Options,
Company Warrants or restricted stock or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as
Parent, the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent is required to deduct and withhold with
respect to the making of such payment under the
12
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
“Code”), or any provision of state, local or foreign tax Law. To the extent that amounts
are so withheld and paid over to the appropriate taxing authority by Parent, the Surviving
Corporation or the Paying Agent, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this
Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was
made.
Section 3.5 Dissenting Shares. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, any Shares issued and
outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time that are held of record or beneficially owned
by a Person who has properly exercised and preserved and perfected dissenters’ rights with respect
to such Shares under Sections 302A.471 and 302A.473 of the MBCA and has not withdrawn or lost such
rights (“Dissenting Shares”) will not be converted into or represent the right to receive
the Merger Consideration for such Shares, but instead will be treated in accordance with Sections
302A.471 and 302A.473 of the MBCA unless and until such Person effectively withdraws or loses such
Person’s right to payment under Section 302A.473 of the MBCA (through failure to preserve or
protect such right or otherwise). If, after the Effective Time, any such Person effectively
withdraws or loses such right, then each such Dissenting Share held of record or beneficially owned
by such Person will thereupon be treated as if it had been converted, at the Effective Time, into
the right to receive the Merger Consideration, without interest. After the Effective Time, the
Surviving Corporation will
comply with all applicable provisions of the MBCA with respect to the Dissenting Shares. The
Company will give Parent prompt written notice upon receipt by the Company at any time before the
Effective Time of any notice of intent to demand the fair value of any shares of Company common
stock under Section 302A.473 of the MBCA and any withdrawal of any such notice. The Company will
not, except with the prior written consent of Parent, negotiate, voluntarily make any payment with
respect to, or settle or offer to settle, any such demand at any time before the Effective Time,
and prior to the Effective Time, Parent and Sub will have the right to direct all negotiations and
proceedings with respect to the Dissenting Shares.
Section 3.6 Adjustment of Merger Consideration. In the event that the Company changes or establishes a record date for changing the number
of Shares issued and outstanding as a result of a stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization,
subdivision, reclassification, combination or similar transaction with respect to the outstanding
Shares and the record date therefor shall be prior to the Effective Time, the Merger Consideration
and any other calculations based on or relating to Shares shall be appropriately, equitably and
proportionately adjusted in light of such stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization,
subdivision, reclassification, combination or similar transaction.
Section 3.7 Employee Stock Purchase Plan. Prior to the date of this Agreement, the Company has taken all action (and provided Parent
with evidence thereof) necessary to suspend the Company’s Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the
“ESPP”). The Company shall take any and all actions with respect to the ESPP as are
necessary to provide that, effective as of the Effective Time, the ESPP shall terminate.
Section 3.8 Tax Treatment. The parties hereto agree that the Merger, together with the acceptance for payment of
Shares pursuant to the Offer, shall be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and for
applicable state, local, foreign and other income Tax purposes, as a taxable purchase by Parent of
the Shares converted in the Merger or accepted for payment pursuant to
13
the Offer, in exchange for
the Offer Price. The separate corporate existence of Merger Sub, any promissory note delivered as
consideration for the Top-Up Shares and the Top-Up Shares for such purposes shall be disregarded.
Each of the parties hereto shall not, and shall not cause or permit its respective Affiliates to,
take any tax position inconsistent with the treatment described in this Section 3.8.

disclosure with respect to any section or subsection of this Article IV is reasonably

Section 4.1 Organization, Standing and Power.
(a) Section 4.1 of the Company Disclosure Letter contains a complete and accurate list, for
the Company and each of its Subsidiaries, of its name, its jurisdiction of organization, the
Company’s percentage ownership for any Subsidiary that is not a wholly owned Subsidiary and the
jurisdictions in which such entity is qualified to conduct business. Each of the Company and its
Subsidiaries (each of the Company and its Subsidiaries is referred to herein as an “Acquired

organized, validly existing and in good standing (with respect to jurisdictions that recognize such
concept) under the Laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, (ii) has all requisite corporate
or similar power and authority to own, lease and operate its properties and assets and to carry on
its business as now being conducted and (iii) is duly qualified or licensed to do business and is

in which the nature of its business or the ownership, leasing or operation of its properties makes
such qualification or licensing necessary, except for any such failures that, individually or in
the aggregate, have not, and would not reasonably be expected to have, a Material Adverse Effect.
For purposes of this Agreement, except as otherwise limited by Section 4.19(b),
“Material Adverse Effect” means any event, change, circumstance, effect or state of facts
that, either individually or in the aggregate, and whether or not a breach of any representation or
warranty contained in this Agreement, is materially adverse to the business, assets, financial
condition or results of operations of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole;
provided, however, that to the extent any event, change, circumstance, effect or
state of facts is caused by or results
14
from any of the following, it shall not be taken into
account in determining whether there has been a “Material Adverse Effect”: (1) general changes,
trends or developments in any of the industries in which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries
operates; (2) changes in global, national or regional political conditions (including the outbreak
of war or acts of terrorism) or in general economic, business, regulatory, political or market
conditions or in national or global financial markets; (3) international calamity directly or
indirectly involving the United States, national calamity, an act of war (whether or not declared),
sabotage, terrorism, military actions or the escalation thereof, natural disaster, an act of God or
other force majeure events; (4) changes in any applicable Laws or GAAP (but in the case of each of
clauses (1) through (4) above, only to the extent such event has not and does not,
individually or in the aggregate, disproportionately impact the Company and its Subsidiaries
relative to other participants in the business-to-business fitness management services and
business-to-business health management services industries); (5) changes in the market price or
trading volume of the Company’s common stock (provided that the events, changes,
circumstances, effects and states of facts underlying any such changes and any other
results thereof shall not be excluded in determining whether there has been a Material Adverse
Effect, unless otherwise excluded by any one or more of clauses (1) through (4),
inclusive, or clauses (6) through (9), inclusive, of this paragraph); (6) any
failure by the Company or any Subsidiary to meet any estimates or expectations of the Company’s or
such Subsidiary’s revenue, earnings or other financial performance or results of operations for any
period, or any failure by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to meet its own internal or
published projections, budgets, plans or forecasts of its revenues, earnings, cash flows or other
financial performance or results of operations (provided that the events, changes,
circumstances, effects and states of facts underlying any such failures and any other results
thereof shall not be excluded in determining whether there has been a Material Adverse Effect,
unless otherwise excluded by any one or more of clauses (1) through (5), inclusive,
or clauses (7) through (9), inclusive, of this paragraph); (7) any actions taken
(or omitted to be taken) at the written request of or consented to in writing by Parent, Merger Sub
or their Affiliates or Representatives (other than actions contemplated by this Agreement); (8) any
increase in the cost or availability of financing to Parent or Merger Sub; or (9) any events,
changes, circumstances, effects or states of facts that are directly attributable to the
announcement of the execution of this Agreement with Parent as opposed to any other Person or the
performance of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (it being understood that
nothing contained in this clause (9) shall be deemed to limit Parent’s ability to consider
any events, changes, circumstances, effects and/or states of facts with respect to customers of the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries in determining whether there has been a Material Adverse
Effect). For the avoidance of doubt, references to the defined term “Material Adverse Effect”
herein shall always include the exceptions described in clauses (1) through (9)
above, inclusive.

(i) the articles of incorporation, bylaws and other charter or organizational documents of each of
the Acquired Companies, including all amendments thereto (the “Company Constituent

that relate solely to, the consideration by such directors of the transactions contemplated hereby
or other similar transactions, in each case, which minutes or actions by written consent are listed
on Section 4.1(b) of the Company Disclosure Letter. The Company Constituent Documents are in full
force and effect on the date hereof. The Company has no Subsidiaries, except for the entities

interest in, any other entity, other than those set forth in Section 4.1 of the Company Disclosure

outstanding stock appreciation rights issued by any Acquired Company with respect to the capital
stock of
16
any Acquired Company (“Company Stock Equivalents”), (D) there are no voting trusts

of any Acquired Company having the right to vote (or convertible into, or exchangeable for,

Option may, by its terms, be treated as set forth in Section 3.2(a). Section 4.2(b) of the
Company Disclosure Letter sets forth the type and, based on the assumptions set forth in
Section 4.2(b) of the
Company Disclosure Letter, the amount of consideration which the holder of such Company
Warrant will be entitled to receive pursuant to the terms of such Company Warrant at and following
the Acceptance Time. Each share of Unvested Restricted Stock may, by its terms, be treated as set
forth in Section 3.2(b) hereof. Section 4.2(b) of the Company Disclosure Letter sets forth
all shares of unvested restricted stock subject to performance-based vesting for which the
performance objectives have not been achieved and which relate to 2007 and 2008 performance periods
(the “Forfeited Restricted Stock”). Each share of Forfeited Restricted Stock may, by its

filing of the Articles of Merger, to the adoption and approval of this Agreement and the Merger by
the holders of at least a majority of the outstanding stock of the Company entitled to vote thereon
(the “Company Shareholder Approval”), to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.
The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by the Company and the consummation by
the Company of the transactions contemplated hereby have been duly authorized by all necessary
corporate action on the part of the Company and no other corporate proceedings on the part of the
Company are necessary to approve this Agreement or to consummate the transactions contemplated
hereby, subject, in the case of the consummation of the Merger, to obtaining the Company
Shareholder Approval (if Parent and its Subsidiaries do not own at least 90% of the outstanding
Shares immediately prior to the filing of the Articles of Merger) and to the filing of the Articles
of Merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Minnesota as required by the MBCA. This
Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Company and, assuming the due authorization,
execution and delivery by Parent and Merger Sub, constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation
of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms (except to the extent
that enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, reorganization

of equity). The Company Board, at a meeting duly called and held, has unanimously approved and
declared advisable and in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders this Agreement and

transactions contemplated hereby in accordance with the provisions of the MBCA, which resolutions
have not been rescinded, modified or withdrawn in any way except, if applicable, to the extent
permitted by Section 6.4. A committee of disinterested Directors of the Company Board, at
a meeting duly
called and held, has (i) approved this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement (including the Offer and the Merger), which approval, to the extent applicable,
constituted approval under the provisions of Sections 302A.011, Subd. 38(h) and 302A.673, Subd. 1
of the MBCA, as a result of which this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement (including the Offer and the Merger), are not and will not be subject to the restrictions
on control share acquisitions or business combinations under the provisions of Sections 302A.671
and 302A.673, respectively, of the MBCA, and (ii) recommended to the Company Board that the Company

(v), for any such conflict, breach, violation, default, loss, right or other occurrence
that, individually or in the aggregate, has not had, and would not reasonably be expected to have,
a Material Adverse Effect and does not and would not reasonably be expected to prevent or
materially impede, interfere with, hinder or delay the performance by the Company of its
obligations under this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.
(b) The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by the Company, and the

Statutes in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and (vi) any such

Material Adverse Effect and does not and would not reasonably be expected to prevent or materially
impede, interfere with, hinder or delay the performance by the Company of its obligations under
this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.
Section 4.5 SEC Reports; Financial Statements.
(a) The Company has filed or furnished all forms, reports, statements, schedules,
certifications and other documents (including all exhibits, amendments and supplements thereto)
required to be filed by it with the SEC since January 1, 2005 (all such forms, reports, statements,
schedules, certificates and other documents filed or furnished since January 1, 2005, collectively,
the “Company SEC Documents”). As of their respective dates, or, if amended, as of the date
of the last such amendment, each of the Company SEC Documents complied in all material respects
with the applicable requirements of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and SOX (as defined in
Section 4.5(d) hereof), and the applicable rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, as
the case may be, each as in effect on the date so filed. Except to the extent that information in
any Company SEC Document has been revised or superseded by a subsequently filed Company SEC
Document, none of the Company SEC Documents contains any untrue statement of a material fact or
omits to state a material fact required to be stated or incorporated by reference therein or
necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which
they were made, not misleading. No Subsidiary of the Company is subject to the periodic reporting
requirements of the Exchange Act or is or has been otherwise required to file any form, report,
statement, schedule, certificate or other document with the SEC, any foreign Governmental Entity
that performs a similar function to that of the SEC or any securities exchange or quotation system.
(b) The audited consolidated financial statements of the Company (including any related notes
thereto) that are included in the Company SEC Documents (i) complied as to form in all material
respects with the published rules and regulations of the SEC applicable thereto, (ii) have been
prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”)
applied on a consistent basis throughout the periods involved (except as may be indicated in the
notes thereto) and (iii) fairly present in all material respects the consolidated financial
position of the Company and its Subsidiaries at the respective dates thereof and the
20
results of
their operations and cash flows for the periods indicated. The unaudited consolidated financial
statements of the Company (including any related notes thereto) that are included in the Company
SEC Documents (x) complied as to form in all material respects with the published rules and
regulations of the SEC applicable thereto, (y) have been prepared in accordance with GAAP applied
on a consistent basis throughout the periods involved
(except as may be indicated in the notes thereto or may be permitted by the SEC under the
Exchange Act) and (z) fairly present in all material respects the consolidated financial position
of the Company and its Subsidiaries as of the respective dates thereof and the results of their
operations and cash flows for the periods indicated (subject to normal period-end adjustments).
(c) The Company (i) maintains “disclosure controls and procedures” and “internal control over
financial reporting” (as such terms are defined in paragraphs (e) and (f), respectively, of Rule
13a-15 under the Exchange Act) as required by Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act, and (ii) has
disclosed, based on its most recent evaluation prior to the date hereof, to the Company’s outside
auditors and the audit committee of the Company Board (A) any significant deficiencies and material
weaknesses in the design or operation of such internal controls over financial reporting that are
reasonably likely to adversely affect in any material respect the Company’s ability to record,
process, summarize and report financial information and (B) any fraud, whether or not material,
that involves management or other employees who have a significant role in the Company’s internal
controls over financial reporting. The Company’s “disclosure controls and procedures” are
reasonably designed to ensure that all material information (both financial and non-financial)
required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or furnishes under the
Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in
the rules and forms of the SEC, and that all such information is accumulated and communicated to
the Company’s management as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure and
to make the certifications of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the
Company required under the Exchange Act and SOX with respect to such reports. The Company’s
management has completed an assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over
financial reporting in compliance with the requirements of Section 404 of SOX for the year ended
December 31, 2008, and such assessment concluded that such controls were effective.
(d) The then-acting Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer of the Company
have signed, and the Company has furnished to the SEC, all certifications required by Rule 13a-14
or 15d-14 under the Exchange Act and Sections 302 and 906 of the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act of 2002
(“SOX”) and the statements contained in such certifications are accurate; such
certifications contain no qualifications or exceptions to the matters certified therein and have
not been modified or withdrawn; and neither the Company nor any of its officers has received notice
from any Governmental Entity questioning or challenging the accuracy, completeness, form or manner
of filing or submission of such certifications.

passage of time), including any periods ending
21

the unaudited balance sheet of the Company as at September 30, 2009 included in the Company SEC
Documents or acquired after the date thereof (except for leases that have expired by their terms
since the date thereof or been assigned, terminated or otherwise disposed of in the ordinary course
of business consistent with past practice) and is in possession of the properties purported to be
leased thereunder, and each such lease is in full force and effect, and is valid without default

lease have been received by any Acquired Company that have not been resolved.
(b) Section 4.17(b) of the Company Disclosure Letter sets forth a true, correct and complete
list of all leases, subleases, modifications, amendments, waivers, side letters, guaranties and

Leases,” each real property leased under a Real Property Lease referred to as a “Real
Property”). The Company has provided or made available to Parent true, correct and complete
copies of all Real Property Leases. Each Real Property Lease is valid, binding and in full force
and effect, and all rent and other sums and charges payable by any Acquired Company as tenants
thereunder are current in all material respects. No termination event or condition or uncured
default of a material nature on the part of any Acquired Company or, to the knowledge of the
Company, the landlord thereunder exists under any Real Property Lease. Each Acquired Company has a
good and valid leasehold interest in each parcel of material real property leased by it free and

obtaining of advances or credit and that do not, individually or in the aggregate, materially
detract from the value the properties subject thereto or affected thereby or materially impair
present business operations at such properties; (iv) existing Liens expressly disclosed in the
Company’s consolidated balance sheet as at September 30, 2009 (or the notes thereto) included in
the Company SEC Documents; and (v) Liens that do not materially detract from the value or
materially interfere with the present use of the properties subject thereto or affected thereby
(collectively, “Permitted Liens”). The leasehold estates and Real Property Leases described

Acquired Companies in all material respects as now conducted.
(c) Except as disclosed in Section 4.17(c) of the Company Disclosure Letter, the improvements
owned or leased by the Acquired Company and located on any parcel of Real Property in all material
respects are structurally sound, are in good working order and repair and are free from defects,
except for ordinary wear and tear. All such improvements and the occupancy, use and operation of

which the Parent or Merger Sub or any of their respective Subsidiaries operates, (2) changes in
global, national or regional political conditions (including the outbreak of war or acts of

the case of clauses (ii), (iii) and (iv) of this paragraph, for any such
conflict, breach, violation, default, loss, right or other occurrence that individually or in the
aggregate, has not had, and would not reasonably be expected to have, a Parent Material Adverse
Effect.
(b) The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by Parent and Merger Sub, and

not require any consent, approval, order, license, authorization or permit of, action by, filing,

to render the restrictions on (A) a “control share acquisition” (as defined in Section 302A.011 of
the MBCA) set forth in Section 302A.671 of the MBCA or (B) a “business combination” with an

Adverse Recommendation Change, in which case the Company Board may, if permitted under Section
8.1(d)(ii), cause the Company to terminate this Agreement pursuant to and in accordance with
such Section (including payment of the Termination Fee, as defined in Section 8.3(c)(iii)
hereof) and substantially concurrently enter into a binding definitive agreement to effect such
Superior Proposal. Neither the Company Board nor any committee thereof shall make an Adverse
Recommendation Change or terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(d)(ii) or cause
the Company to enter into a binding definitive agreement to effect such Superior Proposal unless
the Company has first complied with the provisions of Section 6.4(f) and, after so
complying, the Company Board determines in good faith (after consultation with outside counsel)
that the failure to do so would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties to the shareholders of
the Company under applicable Law and such Acquisition Proposal continues to constitute a Superior
Proposal.
46
(f) The Company Board shall not take any action set forth in Section 6.4(e) unless the
Company has first (i) provided written notice to Parent (a “Notice of Superior Proposal”)
advising Parent that the Company has received a Superior Proposal, specifying the terms and
conditions of such Superior Proposal, identifying the Person making such Superior Proposal and
providing copies of any agreements intended to effect such Superior Proposal, and the Company Board
has made the determination required under Section 6.4(e) (including the basis on which such
determination has been made), (ii) negotiated, and caused the Company and its Representatives to
negotiate, during the five Business Day period following Parent’s receipt of the Notice of Superior
Proposal (the “Notice Period”), in good faith with Parent to enable Parent to make a
counteroffer or propose to amend the terms of this Agreement so that such Acquisition Proposal no
longer constitutes a Superior Proposal, and (iii) after complying with clauses (i) and
(ii), reaffirmed such determination in light of any counteroffer or proposed amendment to
the terms of this Agreement; provided, however, that if during the Notice Period
any revisions are made to a Superior Proposal and such revisions are material (it being understood
and agreed that any change to consideration with respect to such proposal is material), the Company
shall deliver a new Notice of Superior Proposal to Parent and shall comply with the requirements of
this Section 6.4(f) with respect to such new Notice of Superior Proposal.
(g) The Company agrees that it shall take all actions necessary so that any Adverse
Recommendation Change shall not change the approval of this Agreement or any other approval of the
Company Board or any committee thereof in any respect that would have the effect of causing any of
the Takeover Laws of any state (including Minnesota) or other similar statutes to be applicable to
the transactions contemplated hereby, including the Offer and the Merger.
(h) Nothing contained in this Section 6.4 shall prohibit the Company Board from taking
and disclosing a position contemplated by Item 1012(a) of Regulation M-A, Rule 14e-2(a) under the
Exchange Act or Rule 14d-9 under the Exchange Act or make any other disclosure to the shareholders
of the Company if the Company Board has determined, after consultation with outside counsel, that
the failure to make such disclosure would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties to the
shareholders of the Company under applicable Law or that such disclosure is otherwise required by
applicable Law; provided, however, that neither the Company nor the Company Board
(or any committee thereof) shall be permitted to recommend that the shareholders of the Company
tender any securities in connection with any tender or exchange offer (or otherwise approve,
endorse or recommend any Acquisition Proposal), unless in each case, in connection therewith, the
Company Board effects an Adverse Recommendation Change in accordance with Section 6.4(e);
provided further that any such disclosure (other than a “stop, look and listen”
communication or similar communication of the type contemplated by Rule 14d-9(f) under the Exchange
Act) shall be deemed to be an Adverse Recommendation Change unless the Company Board expressly
reaffirms the Company Recommendation and the Company Board Determination and rejects any
Acquisition Proposal within three Business Days after such stop, look and listen communication;
provided further that any such disclosure that constitutes an Adverse
Recommendation Change may only be made in compliance with the terms of this Section 6.4 and
the other provisions of this Agreement and shall not limit any of the rights of Parent and Merger
Sub or any of the obligations of the Company under this Agreement (including those rights and
obligations under Sections 8.1, 8.2 and 8.3 relating to the termination of
this Agreement and the payment of the Termination Fee).
47
(i) For purposes of this Agreement:
(i) “Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement” means a customary confidentiality agreement
containing terms substantially similar to, and (taken as a whole) no less favorable to the Company
than, those set forth in the Confidentiality Agreement (as defined in Section 6.6(b)
hereof); provided, that such confidentiality agreement shall not prohibit compliance with
any of the provisions of this Section 6.4.

exchange, other business combination, partnership, joint venture, sale of capital stock of or other
equity interests in a Subsidiary of the Company or otherwise) of any business or assets of the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries representing 10% or more of the consolidated revenues, net
income or assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, (C) issuance, sale or other
disposition, directly or indirectly, to any Person (or the stockholders of any Person) or group of

transaction in which the holders of the voting power of the Company immediately prior to such
transaction own 90% or less of the voting power of the Company immediately following the
transaction, (E) transaction in which any Person (or the stockholders of any Person) shall acquire,
directly or indirectly, beneficial ownership, or the right to acquire beneficial ownership, or
formation of any group which beneficially owns or has the right to acquire beneficial ownership of,
10% or more of the Shares or (F) any combination of the foregoing (in each case, other than the
Offer and the Merger).
(iii) “Superior Proposal” means any binding, bona fide written offer made by a third
party or group pursuant to which such third party (or, in a parent-to-parent merger involving such
third party, the shareholders of such third party) or group would acquire, directly or indirectly,
more than 50% of the Shares or substantially all of the assets of Company and its Subsidiaries,
taken as a whole, (A) on terms which the Company Board determines in good faith (after consultation
with outside counsel and Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx & Xxxxxx LLC, or other financial advisor of nationally
recognized reputation) to be superior from a financial point of view to the shareholders of the
Company to the Offer and the Merger, taking into account all the terms and conditions of such
proposal and this Agreement (including the Termination Fee and any changes proposed by Parent to
the terms of this Agreement), (B) that the Company Board determines reasonably and in good faith is
reasonably likely to be completed, taking into account all financial, regulatory, legal and other
aspects of such offer and (C) for which any necessary financing is fully committed (including with
respect to any indebtedness that could be required to be repaid in connection with the transactions
contemplated by such offer).
(j) Any action taken or not taken by any Representative of the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries that if taken or not taken by the Company would constitute a breach of this
Section 6.4 shall be deemed a breach of this Agreement by the Company.
48
Section 6.5 Preparation of Proxy Statement; Shareholders Meeting.
(a) In the event that Section 302A.621 of the MBCA is unavailable and inapplicable to
effectuate the Merger, as promptly as reasonably practicable following the Acceptance Time, the
Company shall, with the assistance and approval (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or
delayed) of Parent, prepare and file with the SEC the preliminary Proxy Statement. The Company
shall use reasonable best efforts to clear the preliminary Proxy Statement with the SEC as promptly
as practicable after such filing. The Company shall cause the Proxy Statement to be mailed to the
Company’s shareholders as promptly as practicable after the Proxy Statement has been cleared with
the SEC. No filing of, or amendment or supplement to, or correspondence to the SEC or its staff
with respect to the Proxy Statement will be made by the Company, without providing Parent and
Merger Sub a reasonable opportunity to review and comment thereon (and the Company shall give
reasonable consideration to all additions, deletions, changes or other comments suggested by
Parent, Merger Sub or their counsel). The Company will advise Parent, promptly after it receives
notice thereof, of any request by the SEC for the amendment of the Proxy Statement or comments
thereon and responses thereto or requests by the SEC for additional information. If at any time
prior to the Effective Time any information relating to the Company or 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 such document
would not include any misstatement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary
to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were 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 promptly
filed with the SEC and, to the extent required by Law, disseminated to the shareholders of the
Company.
(b) In the event that Section 302A.621 of the MBCA is unavailable and inapplicable to
effectuate the Merger, as promptly as reasonably practicable following the clearance of the Proxy
Statement by the SEC, the Company, acting through the Company Board, shall (i) take all action
necessary to duly call, give notice of, convene and hold a meeting of its shareholders for the
purpose of seeking to obtain the Company Shareholder Approval (the “Company Shareholders
Meeting”) and (ii) except to the extent that the Company Board shall have effected an Adverse
Recommendation Change in accordance with Section 6.4, solicit the Company Shareholder
Approval and include in the Proxy Statement the recommendation of the Company Board that the
shareholders of the Company vote in favor of the adoption and approval of this Agreement and the
Merger. Each of Parent and Merger Sub shall vote all Shares acquired in the Offer (and all Shares
otherwise beneficially owned by them or any of their Subsidiaries as of the applicable record date)
in favor of the adoption and approval of this Agreement and the Merger in accordance with
applicable Law at the Company Shareholders Meeting. Parent shall vote, or cause to be voted, all
of the shares of capital stock of Merger Sub in favor of the adoption and approval of this
Agreement and the Merger in accordance with applicable Law.
Section 6.6 Access to Information; Confidentiality.
(a) From the date hereof to the Effective Time or the earlier termination of this Agreement,
upon reasonable prior notice, the Company shall, and shall use reasonable best efforts to cause its
Subsidiaries, officers, Directors and Representatives to, afford to Parent,
49
Merger Sub and their respective Representatives reasonable access during normal business hours
and upon reasonable advance notice, consistent with applicable Law, to the Company’s officers,
employees, properties, offices, other facilities and books and records, and shall furnish Parent,
Merger Sub and their respective Representatives with all financial, operating and other data and
information as Parent, Merger Sub and their respective Representatives shall reasonably request.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, any such investigation or consultation shall not include any
intrusive testing or environmental sampling of any kind and shall be conducted in such a manner as
not to interfere unreasonably with the business or operations of the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall be required to provide access
to or to disclose information where such access or disclosure would (i) breach or cause a default
under any agreement with any third party (provided that the Company has used commercially
reasonable efforts to find an alternative means, not constituting a breach of any such agreement
with a third party, to provide the access or information contemplated by this Section 6.6),
(ii) constitute a waiver of the attorney-client or other privilege held by the Company or any of
its Subsidiaries or (iii) otherwise violate any applicable Law.
(b) Each of Parent and Merger Sub will hold and treat and will cause its Representatives to
hold and treat in confidence all documents and information concerning the Company and its
Subsidiaries furnished to Parent or Merger Sub in connection with the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement in accordance with the Confidentiality, Non-Disclosure and Non-Solicitation
Agreement between the Company and Parent dated as of November 9, 2009 (the “Confidentiality
Agreement”), which Confidentiality Agreement shall remain in full force and effect in
accordance with its terms.
Section 6.7 [Intentionally Omitted]
Section 6.8 Further Action; Efforts.
(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each party will use reasonable best
efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things
necessary, proper or advisable under applicable Law to consummate the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement, and no party hereto shall fail to take or cause to be taken any action that would
reasonably be expected to prevent, impede or materially delay the consummation of the transactions
contemplated hereby. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, each party hereto
agrees to make, if required, appropriate filings under any Antitrust Law (as defined in Section
6.8(e) hereof), including an appropriate filing of a Notification and Report Form pursuant to
the HSR Act with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby as promptly as practicable and in
any event within seven Business Days of the date hereof and to supply as promptly as reasonably
practicable any additional information and documentary material that may be requested pursuant to
the HSR Act and to take all other actions necessary, proper or advisable to cause the expiration or
termination of the applicable waiting periods under the HSR Act as soon as practicable, including
by requesting early termination of the waiting period provided for in the HSR Act.
(b) Each of Parent and Merger Sub, on the one hand, and the Company, on the other hand, shall,
in connection with the efforts referenced in Section 6.8(a) to obtain all requisite
approvals and authorizations for the transactions contemplated by this Agreement under the HSR
50
Act or any other Antitrust Law, 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
investigation or other inquiry, including any proceeding initiated by a private party, (ii) keep
the other party reasonably informed of any communication received by such party from, or given by
such party to, the Federal Trade Commission (the “FTC”), the Antitrust Division of the DOJ
or any other U.S. or foreign Governmental Entity and of any communication received or given in
connection with any proceeding by a private party, in each case regarding any of the transactions
contemplated hereby and (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
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. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company and Parent may, as each deems
advisable and necessary, reasonably designate any competitively sensitive material provided to the
other side under this Section 6.8(b) as “Antitrust Counsel Only Material.” Such materials
and the information contained therein shall be given only to the outside counsel regarding
Antitrust Law of the recipient and will not be disclosed by outside counsel to employees, officers,
directors or consultants of the recipient or any of its Affiliates unless express permission is
obtained in advance from the source of the materials (the Company or Parent, as the case may be) or
its legal counsel. Each of the Company and Parent shall cause its respective counsel regarding
Antitrust Law to comply with this Section 6.8(b). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
in this Section 6.8(b), materials provided to the other party or its counsel may be
redacted to remove references concerning the valuation of the Company and privileged
communications.
(c) In furtherance and not in limitation of the covenants of the parties contained in
Sections 6.8(a) and (b), if any objections are asserted with respect to the
transactions contemplated hereby under any Antitrust Law or if any suit is instituted (or
threatened to be instituted) by the FTC, the DOJ or any other applicable Governmental Entity or any
private party challenging any of the transactions contemplated hereby as violative of any Antitrust
Law or that would otherwise prevent, materially impede or materially delay the consummation of the
transactions contemplated hereby, each of Parent, Merger Sub and the Company shall use its
reasonable best efforts to resolve any such objections or suits so as to permit consummation of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including (i) proposing, negotiating, committing to
and effecting, by consent decree, hold separate order or otherwise, the sale, divestiture or
disposition of any non-material assets or business of Parent or any of its Subsidiaries taken as a
whole or the Company or any of its Subsidiaries taken as a whole (including in order to alleviate
any requirement to make a required filing under applicable Antitrust Laws of a foreign jurisdiction
if the transactions contemplated by this Agreement would be materially delayed otherwise) and
(ii) otherwise taking or committing to take any actions that after the Closing would not materially
limit the freedom of action of Parent or any of its Subsidiaries (including the Surviving
Corporation) with respect to, or its ability to retain, one or more of its or its Subsidiaries’
(including the Surviving Corporation’s) businesses, material product lines or assets, in each case
as may be required in order to resolve such objections or suits; provided, however,
that neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries nor Parent nor any of its Subsidiaries or
Affiliates shall be obligated to, and the Company shall not without Parent’s prior written consent,
become subject to, or consent or agree to or otherwise take any action with
51
respect to, any requirement, condition, understanding, agreement or order of a Governmental
Entity to sell, hold separate, dispose of any assets or conduct or change its business unless such
requirement, condition, understanding, agreement or order is binding on the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries or on Parent or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates, as the case may be, only in the
event the Closing occurs. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, neither the
Company nor any of its Subsidiaries nor Parent nor any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates shall be
obligated to, and the Company shall not without Parent’s prior written consent, become subject to,
or consent or agree to or otherwise take any action with respect to, any requirement, condition,
understanding, agreement or order of a Governmental Entity to sell, hold separate, dispose of any
assets or conduct or change its business if so doing would, or would reasonably be expected to, (i)
result in the sale, holding separate or disposition of any assets other than assets that are
immaterial, both individually and in the aggregate, or (ii) limit in any respect the freedom of
action of Parent or any of its Subsidiaries (including the Surviving Corporation) with respect to,
or its ability to retain, one or more of its or its Subsidiaries’ (including the Surviving
Corporation’s) businesses, product lines or assets, other than limitations that are immaterial,
both individually and in the aggregate.
(d) Subject to the obligations and limitations under Section 6.8(c), (i) if any
Governmental Entity issues an order, decree, injunction or ruling or takes any other action
enjoining or otherwise preventing the consummation of the Offer or the Merger, or (ii) if any other
administrative or judicial Action is instituted (or threatened to be instituted) by a Governmental
Entity or private party that challenges, or seeks to prohibit, prevent or restrict the consummation
of the Offer, the Merger or any other transaction contemplated by this Agreement, or any other
agreement contemplated hereby, then (x) at their sole cost and expense, Parent and Merger Sub shall
(1) use reasonable best efforts to have vacated, lifted, reversed or overturned any such order,
decree, injunction or ruling and (2) defend, contest and resist any such Action, and (y) each of
Parent, Merger Sub and the Company shall cooperate in a commercially reasonable manner with each
other in connection therewith.
(e) For purposes of this Agreement, “Antitrust Law” means the Xxxxxxx Act, as amended,
the Xxxxxxx Act, as amended, the HSR Act, the Federal Trade Commission Act, as amended, Foreign
Antitrust Laws and all other Laws that are designed or intended to prohibit, restrict or regulate
actions having the purpose or effect of monopolization or restraint of trade or lessening of
competition through merger or acquisition.
Section 6.9 Employment and Employee Benefits Matters; Other Plans.
(a) Without limiting any additional rights that any individual who is an employee of the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries at the Effective Time (each, a “Company Employee”) may
have under any Company Plan, except as otherwise agreed in writing between Parent and a Company
Employee, the Surviving Corporation and each of its Subsidiaries shall employ Company Employees
pursuant to terms and conditions established at the discretion of the Parent and the Surviving
Corporation and its Subsidiaries. Subject to the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement shall
prevent the amendment or termination of any Company Plan in accordance with the Company Plan’s
terms or interfere with the Surviving Corporation’s right or obligation to make such changes as are
necessary to conform to or comply with applicable Law.
52
(b) As of and after the Effective Time, Parent will, or will cause the Surviving Corporation
to, give Company Employees full credit for purposes of eligibility and vesting and benefit accruals
(but not for purposes of benefit accruals under any defined benefit pension plans or
post-employment welfare benefits), under any employee compensation, incentive and benefit
(including vacation and paid time off) plans, programs, policies and arrangements maintained for
the benefit of Company Employees as of and after the Effective Time by Parent, its Subsidiaries or
the Surviving Corporation (each a “Parent Plan”) for the Company Employees’ service with
the Company, its Subsidiaries and their predecessor entities to the same extent recognized under
similar Company Plans immediately prior to the Effective Time; provided that the foregoing shall
not apply to the extent it would result in a duplication of benefits.
(c) Unless otherwise required by applicable Law, Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation
to continue to maintain the Company’s existing 401(k) plan and welfare plans or other plans which,
in the aggregate, are no less favorable than the Company’s existing 401(k) plan or welfare plans,
as applicable, in each case for the period beginning on the Closing Date and ending on December 31,
2010. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for the avoidance of doubt, the Surviving Corporation shall
honor the Employment Agreements set forth in Section 6.9(c) of the Company Disclosure Letter,
subject to their respective terms in effect on the date hereof and applicable Law.
(d) Nothing herein shall be deemed to be a guarantee of employment for any Company Employee or
any other employee of the Surviving Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries for any period of time,
or to restrict the right of the Surviving Corporation, Parent or any of their respective
Subsidiaries, to terminate or cause to be terminated any employee at any time for any or no reason
with or without notice. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.9,
nothing contained herein, whether expressed or implied, (i) shall be treated as an amendment or
other modification of any Company Plan or any Parent Plan or any other employee benefit plan,
program or arrangement or the establishment of any employee benefit plan, program or arrangement or
(ii) shall limit the right of Parent or the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective
Subsidiaries to amend, terminate or otherwise modify (or cause to be amended, terminated or
otherwise modified) any Company Plan, Parent Plan or any other employment benefit plan, program or
arrangement following the Effective Time in accordance with its terms. Parent and the Company
acknowledge and agree that all provisions contained in this Section 6.9 are included for
the sole benefit of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company, the Surviving Corporation and their respective
Subsidiaries, and that nothing herein, whether express or implied, shall create any third party
beneficiary or other rights (A) in any other Person, including any employees, former employees, any
participant in any employee benefit plan, program or arrangement (or any dependent or beneficiary
thereof) of Parent, the Company or the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective
Subsidiaries or (B) to continued employment with Parent, the Company, the Surviving Corporation, or
any of their respective Subsidiaries or continued participation in any employee benefit plan,
program or arrangement.
Section 6.10 Notification of Certain Matters The Company and Parent shall promptly
notify each other of (a) the discovery of any fact or circumstance that, or the occurrence or
non-occurrence of any event the occurrence or non-occurrence of which, would cause or is reasonably
likely to result in any of the Offer Conditions or the conditions to the Merger set forth in
Article VII not being satisfied or satisfaction of those conditions being materially
delayed;
53
provided, however, that the delivery of any notice pursuant to this
Section 6.10 shall not (i) cure any breach of, or non-compliance with, any other provision
of this Agreement or (ii) limit the remedies available to the party sending or receiving such
notice; and (b) the receipt of any written communication received from any Person alleging that a
material consent of such Person is or may be required in connection with the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement or from any Governmental Entity in connection with the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement.
Section 6.11 Indemnification, Exculpation and Insurance.
(a) Without limiting any additional rights that any officer, director or employee may have
under the Company Constituent Documents or any agreement or Company Plan, from the Effective Time
through the sixth anniversary of the date on which the Effective Time occurs, Parent shall, and
shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, indemnify and hold harmless each current (as of the
Effective Time) and each former officer, director and employee of the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”), from and against any and all
claims, losses, liabilities, damages, judgments, inquiries, fines and fees, costs and expenses,
including actual attorneys’ fees and disbursements (collectively, “Costs”) incurred in
connection with any Action, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, arising out
of or pertaining to the fact that the Indemnified Party is or was an officer, director, employee or
fiduciary of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries at or prior to the Effective Time, whether
asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the Effective Time, to the fullest extent that the
Company would be permitted under applicable Law and required or permitted under the Company
Constituent Documents (or, as relevant, those of the applicable Subsidiary of the Company) as at
the date hereof. In the event of any such Action, each Indemnified Party shall be entitled to
advancement of expenses incurred in the defense of any Action from Parent or the Surviving
Corporation to the fullest extent that the Company would be permitted under applicable Law and the
Company Constituent Documents (or, as relevant, those of the applicable Subsidiary of the Company)
as at the date hereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein (but subject to any
superior rights contained in the Company Constituent Documents (or, as relevant, those of the
applicable Subsidiary of the Company) or applicable indemnification agreements to which any
Acquired Company is a party), prior to making any payment or advance in respect of the
indemnification obligations set forth in this Section 6.11, the Person who is requesting
such advance shall provide a written affirmation by such Person of a good faith belief that the
criteria for indemnification set forth under applicable Law have been satisfied and a written
undertaking by the Person to repay all amounts so paid or reimbursed by Parent and the Surviving
Corporation if it is ultimately determined that the criteria for indemnification have not been
satisfied, in connection with any threatened, pending, or completed civil, criminal,
administrative, arbitration or investigative proceeding to which such Person is, or is threatened
to be, made a party by reason of the former or present official capacity (as defined in Section
302A.521, subd. 1 of the MBCA) of such Person. No Indemnified Party shall settle, compromise or
consent to the entry of any judgment in any threatened or actual Action for which indemnification
could be sought by an Indemnified Party hereunder unless Parent consents in writing to such
settlement, compromise or consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or
delayed).
54
(b) Except as may be required by applicable Law, Parent and the Company agree that for a
period of six years from the Effective Time, all rights to indemnification and exculpation from
liabilities for acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Effective Time and rights to
advancement of expenses relating thereto now existing in favor of any Indemnified Party as provided
in the Company Constituent Documents (or, as relevant, those of the Subsidiary) or in any
indemnification agreement between such Indemnified Party and the Company or any of its Subsidiaries
shall survive the Merger and continue in full force and effect, and for a period of six years from
the Effective Time shall not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified in any manner that would
adversely affect any right thereunder of any such Indemnified Party.
(c) The Surviving Corporation shall, in its sole discretion, either (i) continue to maintain
in effect for a period of six years from the Effective Time for the Persons who, as of the date of
this Agreement, are covered by the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ directors’ and officers’
liability insurance policy (such current policy or replacement policy or tail described in this
Section 6.11(c), the “D&O Insurance”), D&O Insurance with terms and conditions
(including scope and coverage amounts) that are, taken as a whole, at least as favorable as
provided in the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ policies as of the date hereof, or, if such
insurance is unavailable, the Surviving Corporation shall purchase the best available D&O Insurance
for such six-year period, or (ii) prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall pay for and cause to be
obtained, and to be effective at the Effective Time, one or more prepaid “tail” insurance policies
for the Persons who, as of the date hereof, are covered by the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’
existing D&O Insurance, with a claims period of at least six years from the Effective Time with
terms and conditions (including scope and coverage amounts) that are, taken as a whole, at least as
favorable as the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ existing D&O Insurance, for claims arising from
facts or events that occurred prior to the Effective Time, covering without limitation the
transactions contemplated hereby; provided, that the maximum annual premium for such D&O
Insurance that Parent shall be required to expend shall not exceed two hundred percent (200%) of
the annual D&O Insurance premium for the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ current fiscal year, which
annual premiums are set forth in Section 4.16 of the Company Disclosure Letter; and if such amount
is not sufficient to purchase D&O Insurance in such maximum amount, then Parent shall purchase such
amount of insurance with the best available coverage as can be purchased for an annual amount that
is equal to two hundred percent (200%) of the annual premium for such policies for the Company’s
and its Subsidiaries’ current fiscal year. Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to comply
with its obligations under such policies for the full term of at least six years.
(d) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if any Action (whether arising before, at
or after the Effective Time) with respect to which an Indemnified Party is entitled to
indemnification is instituted against any Indemnified Party on or prior to the sixth anniversary of
the Effective Time, then the provisions of this Section 6.11 shall continue in effect until
the final disposition of such Action.
(e) The indemnification provided for herein shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights
to which an Indemnified Party is entitled, whether pursuant to Law, Contract or otherwise. The
provisions of this Section 6.11 shall survive the consummation of the Merger and,
notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement that may be to the contrary,
55
expressly are intended to benefit, and shall be enforceable by, each of the Indemnified
Parties and their respective heirs and legal representatives.
(f) In the event that the Surviving Corporation or Parent or any of their respective
successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and is not the
continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers or
conveys all or a majority of its properties and 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 or
Parent, as the case may be, shall succeed to the obligations set forth in this
Section 6.11.
Section 6.12 Rule 16b-3. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall take such
steps as may be reasonably necessary or advisable hereto to cause dispositions of Company equity
securities (including derivative securities) pursuant to the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement by each individual who is a director or officer of the Company to be exempt under
Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act.
Section 6.13 Anti-Takeover Statute. If any anti-takeover statute is or may become
applicable to this Agreement (including the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby),
to the extent not prohibited by such statute, each of the Company, Parent and Merger Sub and their
respective boards of directors shall grant all such approvals and take all such actions as are
reasonably necessary or appropriate so that such transactions may be consummated as promptly as
practicable hereafter on the terms contemplated hereby, and otherwise act reasonably to eliminate
or minimize the effects of such statute or regulation on such transactions.

previously paid by the Company to Parent or its designee pursuant to this Section 8.3.
(d) Each of the parties hereto acknowledges that the agreements contained in this Section

Parent or its designees interest on the amount of the Termination Fee and/or Expenses, as the case
may be, from the date such payment was required to be made until the date of payment at the prime

in the representations and warranties of the other party or parties set forth in this Agreement or

of the agreements or conditions of the other party or parties contained herein; provided,
however, that after the Company Shareholder Approval has been obtained, no waiver may be
made that pursuant to applicable Law requires further approval or adoption by the shareholders of
the Company without such further approval or adoption. Any agreement on the part of a party to any
such waiver shall be valid only if set forth in a written instrument executed and delivered by a
duly authorized officer on behalf of such party or parties, as applicable. No failure or delay of
any party in exercising any right or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall
any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of
steps to enforce such right or power, or any course of conduct, preclude any other or further

EXHIBIT A
CONDITIONS TO THE OFFER
CONDITIONS TO THE OFFER
Capitalized terms used in this Exhibit A and not otherwise defined shall have the
respective meanings assigned thereto in the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger
Agreement”) to which this Exhibit A is attached.
Notwithstanding any other provision of the Offer, but subject to the terms and conditions set
forth in the Merger Agreement and any applicable rules and regulations of the SEC, including
Rule 14e-1(c) under the Exchange Act (relating to Merger Sub’s obligation to pay for or return
tendered Shares promptly after the termination or withdrawal of the Offer), Merger Sub (i) shall
not be required (A) to accept for payment or (B) to pay for any Shares validly tendered (and not
validly withdrawn) pursuant to the Offer and (ii) may delay the acceptance for payment of or
payment for Shares or may terminate or amend the Offer as to Shares not then paid for, if,
immediately prior to the expiration of the Offer (for the avoidance of doubt, as the same shall be
extended from time to time pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement), any of the following
conditions exists or has occurred and is continuing:
(a) there shall not have been validly tendered and not validly withdrawn a number of Shares
that, together with all Shares, if any, then owned by Parent and its Subsidiaries, would represent
at least a majority of the outstanding Shares on a fully diluted basis on the date of purchase
(which means, as of any time, the number of Shares outstanding, together with all Shares that the
Company would be required to issue pursuant to the conversion or exercise of all options, rights
and securities convertible into or exercisable for Shares or otherwise, including after giving
effect to Section 3.2(a), other than potential dilution attributable to the unexercised
portion of the Top-Up Option) (the “Minimum Condition”);
(b) the applicable waiting period (and any extension thereof) under the HSR Act or other
applicable Antitrust Laws in respect of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement shall
not have expired or been terminated;
(c) there is pending any suit, action or proceeding by any Governmental Entity, or any
Governmental Entity has indicated in writing to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that such
Governmental Entity intends to initiate, pursue or participate in any suit, action or proceeding,
(i) challenging the acquisition by Parent or Merger Sub of any Shares, seeking to restrain or
prohibit the making or consummation of the Offer or the Merger or any other material transaction
contemplated by the Merger Agreement, or seeking to obtain from the Company, Parent or Merger Sub
any damages that are material in relation to the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole,
(ii) seeking to prohibit or limit the ownership or operation by the Company, Parent or any of their
respective Subsidiaries of any material portion of the business or assets of the Company and its
Subsidiaries (taken as a whole) or Parent or any of their respective Subsidiaries (taken as whole),
or to compel the Company, Parent or any of their respective Subsidiaries to dispose of or hold
separate any material portion of the business or assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries (taken
as a whole) or Parent and its Subsidiaries (taken as a whole), as a result of the Offer, the Merger
or any other transaction contemplated by the Merger Agreement, (iii) seeking to impose material
limitations on the ability of Parent or Merger Sub to acquire or hold, or exercise full rights of
ownership of, any Shares, including the right to vote the Shares purchased by it on all matters
properly presented to the
A-1
shareholders of the Company, or (iv) seeking to prohibit Parent or any of its Subsidiaries
from effectively controlling in any material respect the business or operations of the Company and
its Subsidiaries (taken as a whole) after the Effective Time;
(d) any applicable Law shall be enacted, entered, enforced, promulgated, amended, issued or in
effect with respect to, or approval withheld with respect to, Parent, the Company, or any of their
respective Subsidiaries or the Offer, the Merger or the other transactions contemplated by the
Merger Agreement, that results directly or indirectly, in any of the consequences referred to in
paragraph (c) above;
(e) (i) any of the representations and warranties of the Company contained in Section
4.2(b) and/or 4.2(g) (Capital Stock) of the Merger Agreement shall not be true and
correct in all respects at and as of and immediately prior to the expiration of the Offer as if
made at and as of such time or, if any such representation or warranty is made only as of an
earlier specified date, shall not be true and correct in all respects at and as of such earlier
specified date, other than failures to be true or correct which, individually or in the aggregate,
would result in payments by, or involve indebtedness of, any of Parent, the Company and/or any of
their respective Subsidiaries of less than $100,000, or (ii) any of the representations and
warranties of the Company contained in the Merger Agreement other than those described in
clause (i) shall not be true and correct at and as of immediately prior to the expiration
of the Offer as if made at and as of such time, or if any such representation or warranty is made
only as of an earlier specified date, shall not be true and correct at and as of such earlier
specified date, unless in all instances the failure of any such representations or warranties of
the Company described in this clause (ii) to be true and correct, including the
circumstances giving rise to such failure to be true and correct, considered individually or in the
aggregate with all other such failures, has not had, and would not reasonably be expected to have,
a Material Adverse Effect (it being understood that, for purposes of determining the accuracy of
such representations and warranties in the context of this subparagraph, all “Material Adverse
Effect” qualifications and other materiality qualifications contained in such representations and
warranties shall be disregarded);
(f) the Company shall have breached in any material respect and not cured any of its
obligations under the Merger Agreement, and the cure period for any such obligations shall have
lapsed;
(g) any event, change, circumstance, effect, state of facts or development shall have occurred
after the date of the Merger Agreement that, individually or in the aggregate with all other such
events, changes, circumstances, effects, states of factors or developments, has, or would
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect;
(h) the Company shall have failed to deliver to Parent a certificate signed by an executive
officer of the Company certifying that none of the conditions specified in paragraphs
(e), (f) and (g) above has occurred;
(i) (i) an Adverse Recommendation Change shall have occurred, or (ii) the Company Board, any
committee thereof or the Company shall have caused or permitted the Company to enter into any
Alternative Acquisition Agreement or taken any action to render the restrictions on (A) a “control
share acquisition” (as defined in Section 302A.011 of the MBCA) set forth in
A-2
Section 302A.671 of the MBCA or (B) a “business combination” with an “interested shareholder”
(each as defined in Section 302A.011 of the MBCA) set forth in Section 302A.673 of the MBCA
inapplicable to any transaction included in the definition of Acquisition Proposal or granted any
waiver or release under any standstill or similar agreement with respect to any class of equity
securities of the Acquired Companies, or resolved, agreed or proposed to take any such actions; or
(j) the Merger Agreement shall have been terminated in accordance with its terms.
Subject in each case to the terms of the Merger Agreement and the applicable rules and
regulations of the SEC, the foregoing conditions (except for the Minimum Condition) are for the
sole benefit of Merger Sub and Parent and may be asserted by Merger Sub or Parent, at the
applicable times specified above, regardless of the circumstances giving rise to such condition, or
may be waived by Merger Sub and Parent as a whole or in part at any time and from time to time in
their reasonable discretion. The failure by Parent or Merger Sub at any time to exercise any of
the foregoing rights shall not be deemed a waiver of any such right; the waiver of any such right
with respect to particular facts and circumstances shall not be deemed a waiver with respect to any
other facts and circumstances; and each such right shall be deemed an ongoing right that may be
asserted at any time and from time to time, at the applicable times specified above.
