(b) In the event the Minimum Tender Condition is satisfied and exercise of the Top-Up Option (together with the shares purchased in the Stock Purchase Agreement Transactions) would result in Merger Sub and Parent collectively owning at least 90% of the total shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock then outstanding, then Merger Sub shall be obligated to exercise the Top-Up Option and must do so within 24 hours after Merger Sub’s acceptance for payment of shares of Company Common Stock pursuant to the Offer; provided, however, that in no event shall the Top-Up Option be exercised (x) for a number of shares of Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock in excess of the number of authorized but unissued and unreserved shares of Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock, as the case may be, (including as authorized and unissued shares of Company Common Stock, for purposes of this Section 2.4(b), any shares of Company Common Stock held in the treasury of the Company) or (y) any other provision of Applicable Law or Order shall prohibit the exercise of the Top-Up Option or the delivery of the Top-Up Shares.

Such notice shall also include an undertaking signed by Parent and Merger Sub that Merger Sub shall, and Parent shall cause Merger Sub to, as promptly as practicable after the delivery by the Company of the Top-Up Shares, consummate the Merger in accordance with the terms hereof. The Company shall, as soon as practicable following receipt of such notice, notify Parent and Merger Sub in writing of the number of shares of Company Common Stock then outstanding and the number of Top-Up Shares. At the closing of the purchase of the Top-Up Shares, Parent or Merger Sub shall cause to be delivered to the Company the Top-Up Consideration, and the Company shall cause to be issued to Parent or Merger Sub a certificate representing such shares of Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock, as the case may be, which certificate may include any legends required by Applicable Law.

(d) Parent and Merger Sub acknowledge that the Top-Up Shares will not be registered under the Securities Act and will be issued in reliance upon an exemption thereunder for transactions not involving a public offering. Each of Parent and Merger Sub represents and warrants that Merger Sub will be, upon the purchase of the Top-Up Shares, an “accredited investor,” as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D under the Securities Act. Each of Parent and Merger Sub represents, warrants and agrees that the Top-Up Option is being, and the Top-Up Shares will be, acquired by Merger Sub for the purpose of investment and not with a view to or for resale in connection with any public distribution thereof within the meaning of the Securities Act.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, each of the parties hereto agrees and acknowledges that in any appraisal proceeding under Section 262 of the DGCL with respect to the Dissenting Shares, the Surviving Corporation shall not assert that the Top-Up Option, the Top-Up Shares or any cash or the Promissory Note delivered to the Company in payment for such Top-Up Option Shares should be considered in connection with the determination of the fair value of the Dissenting Shares in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL.

EFFECT OF THE MERGER ON CAPITAL STOCK AND COMPANY OPTIONS

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

(a) Cancellation of Certain Company Common Stock. Each share of Company Common Stock (each, a “Common Share” and collectively, the “Common Shares”) that is held by Parent, Merger Sub or the Company (as treasury stock or otherwise) or any of

-25-

their respective direct or indirect Subsidiaries or Affiliates will automatically be cancelled and will cease to exist without any conversion thereof, and no consideration will be delivered in exchange therefor.

(b) Conversion of Company Common Stock. Each share of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than (i) Company Common Stock to be cancelled in accordance with Section 4.1(a), and (ii) Dissenting Shares, if applicable) will be converted into the right to receive the Offer Price. If, during the period commencing on the Agreement Date and ending at the Effective Time, the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock are changed into a different number or class of shares by reason of any stock split, division or subdivision of shares, stock dividend, reverse stock split, consolidation of shares, reclassification, recapitalization or other similar transaction, or if a stock dividend is declared by the Company during such period, or a record date with respect to any such event shall occur during such period, then the consideration to be delivered in respect of shares of Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock, as the case may be, pursuant to this Section 4.1(b) shall be equitably adjusted to the extent appropriate.

(c) Cancellation of Common Shares. At the Effective Time: (a) each Common Share outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall automatically be canceled and shall cease to exist, and each certificate representing Common Shares (a “Certificate”) and each non-certificated share represented by book-entry (“Book-Entry Shares) that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall (except for shares cancelled pursuant to Section 4.1(a)) cease to have any rights with respect thereto other than the right to receive the portion of the Merger Consideration with respect thereto; and (b) the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed with respect to all Common Shares outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. No further transfer of any such Common Shares shall be made on such stock transfer books after the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, a valid Certificate is presented to the Paying Agent or to the Surviving Corporation, such Certificate shall be canceled and shall be exchanged as provided in Section 4.2.

(d) Conversion of Merger Sub Capital Stock. Each share of capital stock of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and become one validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Surviving Corporation.

4.2 Surrender and Payment.

(a) Prior to the Effective Time, Parent and Merger Sub shall appoint Computershare Trust Company, N.A. or such other paying agent as designated by Parent and Merger Sub and reasonably acceptable to the Company from time to time (the “Paying Agent”) to act as the agent for the purpose of paying the Merger Consideration in exchange for: (i) the Certificates, or (ii) Book-Entry Shares. At or prior to the Closing, Parent shall deposit, or shall cause to be deposited, with the Paying Agent, cash in an amount sufficient to pay the aggregate Merger Consideration required to be paid pursuant to this Article IV (such cash being hereinafter referred to as the “Exchange Fund”). If the Exchange Fund is inadequate to pay the Merger Consideration that is payable in respect of all of the Common Shares represented by the

-26-

Certificates and the Book-Entry Shares for any reason, Parent shall take all steps necessary to promptly (and in any case, within five (5) Business Days) deposit additional cash with the Paying Agent sufficient to pay all Merger Consideration required to be paid pursuant to this Article IV, and Parent shall in any event be liable for the payment thereof. Parent shall pay all charges and expenses, including those of the Paying Agent, incurred in connection with the exchange of Common Shares for the Merger Consideration. The Exchange Fund shall not be used for any purpose other than to pay the Merger Consideration that is payable in respect of all of the Common Shares represented by the Certificates and the Book-Entry Shares. Promptly after the Effective Time (and in any case, within five (5) Business Days), Parent shall send, or shall cause the Paying Agent to send, to each record holder of Common Shares at the Effective Time, a letter of transmittal in such form as Parent and the Company shall reasonably agree (the “Letter of Transmittal”) and instructions (which shall specify that the delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title shall pass, only upon proper delivery of the Certificates or upon delivery of an “agent’s message” regarding the book-entry transfer of the Book-Entry Shares to the Paying Agent) for use in such exchange.

(b) Upon (i) surrender to the Paying Agent of a Certificate (or affidavit of loss in lieu of the Certificate as provided in Section 4.5), together with a duly completed and validly executed Letter of Transmittal and such other documents as may reasonably be requested by the Paying Agent, or (ii) receipt of an “agent’s message” by the Paying Agent (or such other evidence, if any, of transfer as the Paying Agent may reasonably request) in the case of Book-Entry Shares, the holder of such Certificate or holder of record of such Book-Entry Shares, as the case may be, shall be entitled to receive a cash amount (after giving effect to any required Tax withholdings as provided in Section 4.4) equal to the product of (i) the Offer Price and (ii) the number of Common Shares represented by such Certificate (or affidavit of loss in lieu of the Certificate as provided in Section 4.5) or Book-Entry Shares, as the case may be. Until so surrendered or transferred, as the case may be, and subject to the terms set forth in Section 4.3, each such Certificate or Book-Entry Share, as applicable, shall represent after the Effective Time for all purposes only the right to receive the Offer Price or the right to demand to be paid the “fair value” of the Common Shares represented thereby as contemplated by Section 4.3. No interest shall be paid or will accrue on any cash payable to holders of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares pursuant to the provisions of this Article IV.

(c) If any of the Merger Consideration is to be paid to a Person other than the Person in whose name the surrendered Certificate or the transferred Book-Entry Share, as applicable, is registered, it shall be a condition to such payment that (i) such Certificate shall be properly endorsed or shall otherwise be in proper form for transfer or such Book-Entry Share shall be properly transferred, and (ii) the Person requesting such payment shall pay to the Paying Agent any transfer or other Tax required as a result of such payment to a Person other than the registered holder of such Certificate or Book-Entry Share, as applicable, or establish to the reasonable satisfaction of the Paying Agent that such Tax has been paid or is not payable.

(d) All Merger Consideration payable upon the surrender of Certificates or transfer of Book-Entry Shares in accordance with the terms hereof shall be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to the Common Shares formerly represented by such Certificate or Book-Entry Shares.

-27-

(e) Any portion of the Exchange Fund made available to the Paying Agent in respect of any Dissenting Shares, if any, shall be returned to Parent, upon demand.

(f) Any portion of the Exchange Fund deposited with the Paying Agent which remains unpaid to the holders of Common Shares for twelve (12) months after the Effective Time shall be delivered to Parent upon demand, and any holders of Common Shares who have not theretofore complied with this Article IV shall thereafter look only to Parent for the allocable Merger Consideration, without any interest thereon but subject to any applicable withholdings.

(g) None of Parent, the Company or the Surviving Corporation shall be liable to any holder of Common Shares for any portion of the Merger Consideration delivered to a public official pursuant to any abandoned property, escheat or similar Applicable Law.

(h) No dividends or other distributions with respect to capital stock of the Company with a record date on or after the Effective Time shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Certificates.

4.3 Dissenting Shares. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, including Section 4.1, Common Shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than Common Shares cancelled in accordance with Section 4.1(a)) and held by a holder who has not voted in favor of adoption of this Agreement and who has properly exercised appraisal rights of such Common Shares in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL (such Common Shares being referred to collectively as the “Dissenting Shares” until such time as such holder fails to perfect or otherwise loses such holder’s appraisal rights under the DGCL with respect to such Common Shares) shall not be converted into a right to receive the Merger Consideration allocable to such Dissenting Shares, but instead shall be entitled to only such rights as are granted by Section 262 of the DGCL; provided, however, that if, after the Effective Time, such holder fails to perfect, withdraws or loses such holder’s right to appraisal pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL or if a court of competent jurisdiction shall determine that such holder is not entitled to the relief provided by Section 262 of the DGCL, such Common Shares shall be treated as if they had been converted as of the Effective Time into the right to receive the Merger Consideration allocable thereto in accordance with Section 4.1(b), without interest thereon but subject to any applicable withholdings, upon surrender of such Certificate formerly representing such Common Share or transfer of such Book-Entry Share, as the case may be. The Company shall provide Parent prompt written notice of any demands received by the Company for appraisal of Common Shares, any withdrawal of any such demand and any other demand, notice or instrument delivered to the Company prior to the Effective Time pursuant to the DGCL that relates to such demand. Except with the prior written consent of Parent, the Company shall not make any voluntary payment with respect to, or settle or offer to settle, any such demands.

4.4 Withholding Rights. Each of the Paying Agent, Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall be entitled to deduct and withhold, or cause to be deducted and withheld, from the consideration otherwise payable to any Person pursuant to this Article IV such amounts as may be required to be deducted and withheld with respect to the making of such payment under any provision of any applicable Tax law. To the extent that amounts are so deducted and withheld, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of whom such deduction and withholding was made.

-28-

4.5 Lost Certificates. If any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed, the Paying Agent will issue, in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate, the allocable Merger Consideration to be paid in respect of the Common Shares formerly represented by such Certificate as contemplated under this Article IV, without any interest thereon but subject to any applicable withholdings

4.6 Treatment of Company Options.

(a) As soon as practicable following the date hereof, the Company Board shall adopt any resolutions, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Parent, and the Company shall take any additional actions that may be reasonably necessary or that Parent reasonably considers appropriate (under the Company Stock Plans or otherwise) to provide that (i) each holder of Company Options (whether or not then vested or exercisable) shall be provided with a notice pursuant to which all outstanding Company Options held by such holder shall become fully vested and may be exercised by such holder beginning on the twentieth (20th) Business Day prior to the Initial Offer Expiration Time through the Initial Offer Expiration Time, which accelerated vesting and exercise shall be contingent on the occurrence of the Merger Closing (such period, the “Option Notice Period”) in accordance with the terms and conditions of the applicable Company Stock Plan and award agreement under which such Company Options were granted and (ii) to the extent that any Company Option is not so exercised during the Option Notice Period, such Company Option shall be cancelled immediately prior to the Merger Closing without any consideration or payment in respect thereof; provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in the event that (x) the holder of a Company Option does not exercise such Company Option during the Option Notice Period and (y) such Company Option has a per share exercise price that is less than the Offer Price, such Company Option shall be automatically deemed to have been exercised by net settlement contingent on, and effective immediately prior to, the Merger Closing.

(b) Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall take all such lawful action as may be necessary (which include satisfying the requirements of Rule 16b-3(e) promulgated under the Exchange Act, without incurring any liability in connection therewith) to provide for and give effect to the transactions contemplated by this Section 4.6. Except as otherwise agreed to in writing by the parties hereto after the Agreement Date, the Company will ensure that: (i) the Company Stock Plans will terminate as of the Effective Time; and (ii) no participant in any of the Company Stock Plans shall have any right under any such Company Stock Plan to acquire (directly or indirectly), at or any time after the Effective Time, any capital stock or other equity interest of the Company, the Surviving Corporation or any other Person.

(c) Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause any dispositions of Equity Securities in connection with this Agreement by each individual who is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act to be approved by the Company Board or a committee of two or more non-employee directors of the Company (as such term is defined in Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act). Such approval shall specify: (A) the name of each officer or director, (B) the number of securities to be disposed of for each named person, and (C) that the approval

-29-

is granted for purposes of exempting the transaction under Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act.

7.10 Indemnification of Company Directors and Officers.

(a) It is understood and agreed that the Company shall indemnify and hold harmless and, from and after the Effective Time, Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall indemnify and hold harmless, as and to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, each present and former director and officer of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (in each case, when acting in such capacity), and each person currently entitled to indemnification pursuant to the Company’s or its Subsidiaries’ Organizational Documents, determined as of the Effective Time (each, an “Indemnified Party” and collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”), against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs, expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement in connection with any threatened or actual claim, action, suit, demand, proceeding or investigation arising out of matters existing or occurring at or prior to the Effective Time (whether asserted or arising at or before or after the Effective Time), and, in the event of any such threatened or actual claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, the Surviving Corporation and Parent shall promptly pay expenses as incurred in advance of the final disposition of any such threatened or actual claim, action, suit, demand, proceeding or investigation to each Indemnified Party to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law; provided that the Indemnified Party to whom expenses are advanced provides an undertaking to repay such advances if it is ultimately determined that such Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification.

(b) Any Indemnified Party wishing to claim indemnification under this Section 7.10, upon learning of any such threatened or actual claim, action, suit, demand, proceeding or investigation, shall promptly notify the Company and, after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation and Parent thereof; provided that the failure to so notify shall not affect the obligations of the Company, the Surviving Corporation and Parent except to the extent, if any, such failure to promptly notify materially prejudices such party. In the event of any such claim, action, suit, demand, proceeding or investigation (whether arising before or after the Effective Time), (i) Parent or the Surviving Corporation shall have the right to assume the defense thereof and Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall not be liable to such Indemnified Parties for any legal expenses of other counsel or any other expenses subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Parties in connection with the defense thereof, except that if Parent or the Surviving Corporation elects not to assume such defense or counsel for the Indemnified Parties advises that there are issues which raise conflicts of interest between Parent or the Surviving Corporation and the Indemnified Parties, the Indemnified Parties may retain counsel satisfactory to them, and Parent or the Surviving Corporation shall pay all reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel for the Indemnified Parties promptly as statements therefor are received; provided, however, that Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall be obligated pursuant to this paragraph (b) to pay for only one firm of counsel for all Indemnified Parties in any jurisdiction unless the use of one counsel for such Indemnified Parties would present such counsel with a conflict of interest, provided that the fewest number of counsels necessary to avoid conflicts of interest shall be used; (ii) the Indemnified Parties will cooperate in the defense of any such matter, and (iii) Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall not be liable for any settlement effected without their prior written consent; and provided that the Surviving Corporation and

-60-

Parent shall have no obligation hereunder to any Indemnified Party when and if a court of competent jurisdiction shall ultimately determine, and such determination shall have become final and non-appealable, that indemnification by such entities of such Indemnified Party in the manner contemplated hereby is prohibited by Applicable Law.

(c) Parent and Merger Sub each agree that all rights to indemnification and advancement of expenses existing in favor of, and all limitations on the personal liability of, each Indemnified Party provided for in Section 7.10(a) above or in the respective certificates of incorporation or bylaws (or other applicable organizational documents) of the Company and its Subsidiaries or otherwise in effect as of the date hereof (including through any agreement or arrangement between the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company, on the one hand, and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company, on the other hand) shall survive the Merger and continue in full force and effect for a period of six (6) years from the Effective Time and, at the Effective Time, shall become the joint and several obligations of Parent, the Surviving Corporation and any applicable Subsidiary of the Company; provided, however, that all rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses and limitations on personal liability in respect of any claims (each, a “Claim”) asserted or made within such period shall continue until the final disposition of such Claim. From and after the Effective Time, Parent and Merger Sub each also agree to jointly and severally indemnify and hold harmless the present and former officers and directors of the Company and its Subsidiaries in respect of acts or omissions occurring prior to the Effective Time to the extent provided in any written indemnification agreements between the Company and/or one or more Company Subsidiaries and such officers and directors entered into prior to the Effective Time and which are set forth on Section 7.10(c) of the Company Disclosure Schedule.

(d) Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall and, if the Company is unable to, Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation as of the Effective Time to obtain and fully pay for a directors’ and officers’ liability insurance “tail” or “runoff” insurance program for a period of six (6) years after the Effective Time with respect to wrongful acts and/or omissions committed or allegedly committed at or prior to the Effective Time (such coverage shall have an annual aggregate coverage limit over the term of such policy in an amount equal to the annual aggregate coverage limit under the Company’s existing directors and officers liability policy, and in all other respects shall be comparable to such existing coverage), provided that the premium for such “tail” or “runoff” coverage shall not exceed an aggregate amount equal to 250% of the annual premiums paid as of the date hereof by the Company for such insurance (such 250% amount, the “Base Premium”); provided that if the current policies of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance maintained by the Company cannot be maintained for the Base Premium and such “tail” or “runoff” coverage can only be obtained at an annual premium in excess of the Base Premium, Parent shall maintain the most advantageous “tail” or “runoff” coverage obtainable for an annual premium equal to the Base Premium. If the Company and the Surviving Corporation for any reason fail to obtain such “tail” insurance policies as of the Effective Time, for a period of six (6) years after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall, and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, maintain in effect the current policies of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance maintained by the Company (provided that Parent may substitute therefor policies with reputable and financially sound carriers of at least the same coverage and amounts containing terms and conditions which are no less advantageous) with respect to claims arising from or related to facts or events which occurred at or before the Effective Time; provided,

-61-

however, that Parent shall not be obligated to make annual premium payments for such insurance to the extent such premiums exceed the Base Premium; provided, further, if such insurance coverage cannot be obtained at all, or can only be obtained at an annual premium in excess of the Base Premium, Parent shall maintain the most advantageous policies of directors’ and officers’ insurance obtainable for an annual premium equal to the Base Premium.

(e) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the obligations under this Section 7.10 shall not be terminated or modified in such a manner as to adversely affect any Indemnified Party to whom this Section 7.10 applies without the consent of each such affected Indemnified Party unless such termination or modification is required by Applicable Law. This Section 7.10 is intended for the irrevocable benefit of, and to grant third party beneficiary rights to, the Indemnified Parties and their respective heirs and shall be binding on all successors of Parent and the Surviving Corporation. Each of the Indemnified Parties and their respective heirs shall be entitled to enforce the provisions of this Section 7.10.

(f) In the event that, following the Effective Time, Parent or the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger, (ii) transfers or conveys all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person or (iii) commences a dissolution, liquidation, assignment for the benefit of creditors or similar action, then, and in each such case, to the extent necessary, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Parent or the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, assume the obligations set forth in this Section 7.10 as a condition precedent to such merger, sale of assets, or other transaction.

7.11 Litigation. The Company and Parent shall notify the other party in writing promptly after learning of any material claim, action, suit, arbitration, mediation, proceeding or investigation by or before any court, arbitrator or arbitration panel, board or governmental agency, initiated by or against it, or known by such party to be threatened against it or any of its officers or directors in their capacity as such. The Company shall give Parent the opportunity to participate in, but not control, the defense or settlement of any stockholder Action (including any class action or derivative litigation) against the Company and/or any of its directors or officers relating to this Agreement, the Offer, the Merger or any of the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the other Deal Agreements, and no compromise or full or partial settlement of any such Action shall be agreed to by the Company without Parent’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Any such participation by Parent shall be at Parent’s sole cost and expense.

7.12 Acquisition Proposals.

(a) From and after the Agreement Date, the Company shall not, and shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause its directors, officers, employees, investment bankers, attorneys, accountants and other advisors or representatives (“Representatives”) not to, directly or indirectly, (i) initiate, solicit, or encourage (including by way of furnishing information) the submission of any Acquisition Proposal, (ii) engage, continue or participate in any negotiations concerning, or provide any confidential information or data to, or have any discussions with, any Person relating to an Acquisition Proposal or any proposal or offer that would reasonably be

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may contact any Person who has made, or proposes to make, an Acquisition Proposal solely to request clarification of the terms and conditions of such Acquisition Proposal.

(b) Notwithstanding any provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, nothing contained in this Agreement shall prevent the Company or the Company Board from complying with its disclosure obligations under Sections 14d-9 and 14e-2 of the Exchange Act with regard to an Acquisition Proposal.

(c) Notwithstanding any provisions of Section 7.12(a) to the contrary, the Company, its Subsidiaries and the Company Board (or any committee thereof) may, at any time prior to the Offer Closing, provide information in response to a request therefor by (provided that such information has previously been made available to Parent or is made to Parent concurrently with the time such information is made available to such Person), or engage in any negotiations or discussions with, a Person who has made an unsolicited bona fide written Acquisition Proposal if the Company Board receives from such Person, prior to providing any non-public information, an executed confidentiality agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company and with terms at least as restrictive in all material respects on such Person as the Confidentiality Agreement if, in each such case, prior to taking any such action the Company Board shall have determined in good faith, based on the information then available and after deliberation and consultation with its independent financial advisor and outside legal counsel, that (i) such Acquisition Proposal constitutes or is reasonably likely to lead to a Superior Proposal and (ii) that the failure to take such action would be inconsistent with the directors’ duties under Delaware Law.

(d) Except as expressly permitted by this Section 7.12, neither the Company Board nor any committee thereof shall (i) withhold, withdraw, modify or qualify, or propose publicly to withhold, withdraw, modify or qualify, in a manner adverse to Parent, the Recommendation, (ii) adopt, approve or recommend, or propose to adopt, approve or recommend, publicly or otherwise, any Acquisition Proposal, (iii) fail to recommend, in a Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9, against any Acquisition Proposal subject to Regulation 14D under the Exchange Act, within ten (10) Business Days after the commencement of any such Acquisition Proposal, (iv) fail to include the Recommendation in the Proxy Statement filed in connection with the Company Stockholders’ Meeting, if required, (v) enter into any letter of intent, memorandum of understanding or similar document or Contract relating to any Acquisition Proposal (other than confidentiality agreements entered into in accordance with Section 7.12(c)), or (vi) make any other public statement that is inconsistent with the Recommendation (any action described in clauses (i) through (vi), a “Change in the Board Recommendation”).

(i) the Company shall have provided written notice to Parent at least three (3) Business Days (the “Notice Period”) prior to making such Change in the Board Recommendation (A) advising Parent that the Company Board intends to make such Change in the Board Recommendation and (B) specifying all information required to be provided under Section 7.12(g);

(ii) the Company shall have, and shall have caused its Representatives to have, during the Notice Period, negotiated in good faith with Parent with respect to any revisions to the terms of the transaction contemplated by the this Agreement proposed by Parent; and

Any material amendment to any Acquisition Proposal will be deemed to be a new Acquisition Proposal for purposes of this Section 7.12(e), and shall require the Company to deliver a new notice to Parent at least two (2) Business Days prior to making such Change in Board Recommendation and such new notice period shall commence upon the delivery to Parent of such notice, unless the event requiring notice pursuant to this Section 7.12 occurs less than two Business Days prior to the Offer Closing, in which case the Company shall deliver notice to Parent of such event as promptly as practicable.

(f) Immediately after the execution of this Agreement, the Company agrees that it shall immediately cease and cause to be terminated any existing discussions or negotiations with any Person (other than Parent) with respect to any Acquisition Proposal.

(a) In the event that this Agreement is terminated by Parent pursuant to Section 9.3(a), Section 9.3(b) or Section 9.3(c), the Company shall pay to Parent a termination fee equal to the sum of (i) either (A) $271,204, in the event the Price Reduction Trigger has not occurred prior to the time at which the Termination Fee becomes due hereunder, or (B) $250,458, in the event the Price Reduction Trigger has occurred prior to the time at which the Termination Fee becomes due hereunder, plus (ii) all of Parent’s documented, out-of-pocket expenses (collectively, the “Termination Fee”) by wire transfer of same day funds within one (1) Business Day following the date of such termination of this Agreement, to the account designated by Parent.

(b) If (i) after the Agreement Date and prior to the date of the termination of this Agreement contemplated by clause (ii) below, an Acquisition Proposal shall have become publicly known or otherwise communicated to the Company Stockholders and not withdrawn, (ii) thereafter, this Agreement is terminated by Parent pursuant to Section 9.1(b)(i), unless the failure to effect the Merger Closing prior to the End Date is primarily due to a breach by Parent of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements set forth in this Agreement or any of the other Deal Agreements, and (iii) within six (6) months of such termination of this Agreement, the Company enters into a definitive agreement providing for any transaction contemplated by, or otherwise consummates a transaction with respect to, any Acquisition Proposal referred to in clause (i) above, then, in such case, the Company shall pay to Parent the Termination Fee by wire transfer of same day funds on the date such transaction is consummated, to the account designated by Parent (provided that for purposes of this Section 9.5(b) the references to “15%” in the definition of Acquisition Proposal shall be deemed to be references to “50%”).

(c) In the event this Agreement is terminated by Parent or the Company pursuant to Section 9.1(b)(i) and, prior to such termination, both (x) the Minimum Tender Condition shall not have been satisfied, and (y) holders of a majority of the Company Common Stock shall not have approved the adoption of this Agreement and the approval of the Merger at the Stockholders’ Meeting, in each case, unless the failure to close by the End Date is primarily due to a breach by Parent of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements set forth in this Agreement or any of the other Deal Agreements, then the Company shall pay to Parent the Termination Fee by wire transfer of same day funds within one (1) Business Day following the date of such termination of this Agreement to the account designated by Parent.

(d) For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall the Company be obligated to pay, or cause to be paid, the Termination Fee on more than one occasion.

(e) Except as explicitly set forth in any other Deal Agreements, Parent’s right to receive payment of the Termination Fee pursuant to Section 9.5(a), Section 9.5(b), or Section 9.5(c) shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of Parent and its Affiliates against the Company or any of its former, current or future directors, officers, employees, agents, equityholders, representatives, Affiliates or assignees (collectively, “Company Related Persons”) or any other Person in connection with the termination of this Agreement in the circumstance described in this Section 9.5 and upon payment or tender of such amount, none of

-68-

the Company, any of its Company Related Persons, nor any other Person shall have any further liability or obligation relating to or arising out of this Agreement, the other Deal Agreements or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.

9.6 Acknowledgement. Each party to this Agreement acknowledges that (a) the agreements contained in this Article IX are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by the Deal Agreements, (b) the damages resulting from termination of the Deal Agreements under circumstances where a Termination Fee is payable are uncertain and incapable of accurate calculation and, therefore, the amounts payable pursuant to Section 9.6 are not a penalty but rather constitute liquidated damages in a reasonable amount that will compensate Parent for the efforts and resources expended and opportunities foregone while negotiating the Deal Agreements and in reliance on the Deal Agreements and on the expectation of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and (c) without the agreements contained in this Article IX, Parent would not have entered into the Deal Agreements. Accordingly, if the Company fails to promptly pay any amount due pursuant to Section 9.5 and, in order to obtain such payment, Parent or Merger Sub commences a suit that results in a judgment against the Company for the amount set forth in Section 9.5 or any portion thereof, the Company shall pay to the other party its costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by it and its Affiliates in connection with such suit, together with interest on such amount or portion thereof at the prime rate of interest in effect on the date such payment was required to be made through the date of payment.

10.2 Governing Law. The Laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to principles of conflict of Laws, govern all matters arising out of or relating to this Agreement and all of the transactions it contemplates.

10.3 Consent to Jurisdiction.

Each party further agrees that service of any process, summons, notice or document by U.S. registered mail to such party’s respective address set forth herein shall be effective service of process for any such Action. Each party irrevocably and unconditionally waives any objection to the laying of venue of any Action arising out of this Agreement, Deal Agreements or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby in such courts, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any such court that any such Action

This Agreement and the rights, interests and obligations hereunder may not be assigned or delegated by either party hereto without the prior written consent of the other party; provided, however, that Parent may assign any or all of its rights under this Agreement to any direct or indirect wholly owned Subsidiary of Parent; provided, further, that notwithstanding any such assignment to any direct or indirect wholly owned Subsidiary of Parent, Parent shall remain liable for all of its obligations hereunder to the extent such Subsidiary is unable or unwilling to fulfill such obligations. Subject to the foregoing, all of the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

10.5 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, (i) the remainder of this Agreement, or application of that provision to any Persons or circumstances, or in any jurisdiction, other than those as to which it is held unenforceable, will not be affected by that unenforceability and will be enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by Law and (ii) a suitable and equitable provision shall be substituted therefor in order to carry out, so far as may be valid and enforceable, the intent and purpose of such invalid or unenforceable provision.

10.6 Counterparts. The parties may sign this Agreement in several counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original but all of which together will constitute one instrument.

individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole;

(iii) the Company shall have failed to perform or comply in all material respects with its obligations required to be performed or complied with by it under this Agreement;

(iv) since the Agreement Date, there shall have occurred any Material Adverse Effect on the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole;

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 and each such right shall be deemed an ongoing right that may be asserted at any time and from time to time.
