WHEREAS, in furtherance of such acquisition, the Purchaser proposes to commence a tender offer to purchase all of the shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company (the “Company Common Stock”) that are outstanding and the associated preferred stock purchase rights (the “Company Rights”) issued in connection with and subject to the Rights Agreement, dated June 24, 2002, by and between the Company and Mellon Investor Services, LLC (the “Rights Agreement”) (which Company Rights, together with the shares of the Company Common Stock, are hereinafter referred to as the “Shares”), at a price per Share of $22.00 (such amount or any different amount per Share that may be paid pursuant to the Offer, the “Offer Price”) (such offer, as amended from time to time as permitted by this Agreement, the “Offer”);

WHEREAS, following the acceptance for payment of Shares pursuant to the Offer, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Purchaser shall be merged with and into the Company, with the Company continuing as the Surviving Corporation (the “Merger”), in accordance with the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”), whereby each issued and outstanding Share (other than (i) Shares to be cancelled or converted in accordance with Section 2.1(b) and (ii) Dissenting Shares) shall be converted into the right to receive the Offer Price;

AGREEMENT

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and premises contained in this Agreement and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties to this Agreement agree as follows:

ARTICLE 1

THE OFFER AND THE MERGER

Section 1.1 The Offer.

(a) Provided that this Agreement shall not have been terminated in accordance with Section 7.1, and none of the events or conditions in clause (c) of Annex I shall have occurred and be continuing, as promptly as practicable after the date hereof (but in no event later than eleven (11) Business Days after the date of the initial public announcement of this Agreement), the Purchaser shall, and Parent shall cause the Purchaser to, commence, within the meaning of Rule 14d-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Exchange Act”), the Offer.

(b) Subject to (i) there being validly tendered in the Offer and not properly withdrawn prior to the Expiration Date that number of Shares which, together with the number of Shares, if any, then owned of record by Parent or the Purchaser or with respect to which Parent or the Purchaser otherwise has, directly or indirectly, sole voting power, represents at least a majority of all outstanding Shares (determined on a Fully Diluted Basis) entitled to vote (A) in the election of directors or (B) upon the adoption of this Agreement and approval of the Merger, on the date Shares are accepted for payment (collectively, the “Minimum Condition”); and (ii) the satisfaction or waiver by Parent or the Purchaser of the other conditions and requirements set forth in Annex I, the Purchaser shall, and Parent shall cause the Purchaser to, accept for payment and pay for all Shares validly tendered and not properly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer as promptly as practicable after the Purchaser is legally permitted to do so under applicable Law (the date and time of acceptance for payment, the “Acceptance Time”). Parent shall provide or cause to be provided to Purchaser on a timely basis funds sufficient to purchase and pay for any and all Shares that Purchaser becomes obligated to accept for payment and purchase pursuant to

the Offer. The Offer Price payable in respect of each Share validly tendered and not properly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer shall be paid net to the holder of such Share in cash, without interest, subject to any withholding of Taxes required by applicable Law in accordance with Section 2.2(e).

(c) The Offer shall be made by means of an offer to purchase (the “Offer to Purchase”) that describes the terms and conditions of the Offer in accordance with this Agreement, including the conditions and requirements set forth in Annex I. Parent and the Purchaser expressly reserve the right to increase the Offer Price, waive any condition to the Offer (except the Minimum Condition) or to make any other changes in the terms and conditions of the Offer; provided, however, that unless previously approved by the Company in writing, the Purchaser shall not (i) decrease the Offer Price payable in the Offer, (ii) change the form of consideration payable in the Offer, (iii) reduce the maximum number of Shares to be purchased in the Offer, (iv) amend or waive the Minimum Condition, (v) amend or modify the other conditions set forth in Annex I in a manner adverse to the holders of Shares, (vi) extend the Expiration Date other than in accordance with this Agreement, or (vii) amend any other term of the Offer which is adverse to the holders of Shares.

(d) Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, unless extended in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Offer shall expire at 12:00 midnight (Eastern time) on the date (the “Initial Expiration Date”) that is twenty (20) Business Days following the commencement of the Offer or, if the Offer has been extended in accordance with this Agreement, at the time and date to which the Offer has been so extended (the Initial Expiration Date, or such later time and date to which the Offer has been extended in accordance with this Agreement, the “Expiration Date”).

(e) Purchaser may, without the consent of the Company, if on or prior to any then scheduled Expiration Date any of the conditions of the Offer are not satisfied or waived, extend the Offer for such period as the Purchaser determines, provided that such extension shall be in increments of not more than ten (10) Business Days if all of the conditions set forth on Annex I other than the Minimum Condition have been satisfied or waived at such Expiration Date. In addition, if on or prior to any then scheduled Expiration Date, any of the conditions to the Offer have not been satisfied or, to the extent waivable by the Parent or the Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement, waived by Parent or the Purchaser, subject to Parent’s rights in Article 7, the Purchaser shall, and Parent shall cause the Purchaser to, extend the Offer for successive periods of up to ten (10) Business Days each, the length of each such period to be determined by the Purchaser in its sole discretion, in order to permit the satisfaction of such conditions; provided, however, that the Purchaser shall not be required to extend the Offer beyond the Termination Date; provided, further, that the Purchaser shall not be required to extend the Offer after the Company delivers, or is required to deliver, to Parent a notice with respect to an Acquisition Proposal that has been received by the Company, its Subsidiaries, or any Company Representative, in accordance with Section 5.4, except to the extent that prior to the then scheduled Expiration Date (i) the Acquisition Proposal giving rise to such notice has been withdrawn or the Company Board has rejected the Acquisition Proposal giving rise to such notice, (ii) the Company Board has reconfirmed the Company Board Recommendation, and (iii) the withdrawal or rejection of such Acquisition Proposal and the reconfirmation of the Company Board Recommendation shall have been publicly announced by the Company. In addition, the

Purchaser shall extend the then scheduled Expiration Date for any period or periods required by applicable Law or applicable rules, regulations, interpretations or positions of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) or its staff or the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”).

(f) If necessary to obtain sufficient Shares to reach the Short Form Threshold (without regard to Shares issuable upon the exercise of the Top-Up Option or Shares tendered pursuant to guaranteed delivery procedures that have not yet been delivered in settlement or satisfaction of such guarantee), the Purchaser may, in its sole discretion, provide for a “subsequent offering period” (and one or more extensions thereof) in accordance with Rule 14d-11 under the Exchange Act. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Offer, the Purchaser shall, and Parent shall cause the Purchaser to, immediately accept for payment, and pay for, all Shares that are validly tendered pursuant to the Offer during such “subsequent offering period”. The Offer Documents shall provide for the possibility of a “subsequent offering period” in a manner consistent with the terms of this Section 1.1(f).

(g) The Purchaser shall not terminate the Offer prior to any scheduled Expiration Date without the prior written consent of the Company, except if this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Article 7. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Article 7, the Purchaser shall, and Parent shall cause the Purchaser to, promptly (and in any event within twenty four (24) hours of such termination) terminate the Offer and shall not acquire the Shares pursuant thereto. If the Offer is terminated by the Purchaser, or this Agreement is terminated prior to the acquisition of Shares in the Offer, the Purchaser shall promptly return, and shall cause any depositary acting on behalf of the Purchaser to return, in accordance with applicable Law, all tendered Shares that have not then been purchased in the Offer to the registered holders thereof.

(h) As soon as practicable on the date of the commencement of the Offer, Parent and the Purchaser shall file with the SEC, in accordance with Rule 14d-3 under the Exchange Act, a Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO with respect to the Offer (together with all amendments, supplements and exhibits thereto, the “Schedule TO”). The Schedule TO shall include, as exhibits: the Offer to Purchase, a form of letter of transmittal, the notice of guaranteed delivery, a form of summary advertisement and other ancillary Offer documents and instruments required by the Exchange Act pursuant to which the Offer shall be made (collectively, together with any amendments and supplements thereto, the “Offer Documents”). Parent and the Purchaser agree to cause the Offer Documents to be disseminated to holders of Shares, as and to the extent required by the Exchange Act. Parent and the Purchaser, on the one hand, and the Company, on the other hand, agree to promptly correct any information provided by such party for use in the Offer Documents, if and to the extent that such information shall have become false or misleading in any material respect or as otherwise required by applicable Law, and Parent and the Purchaser agree to cause the Offer Documents, as so corrected, to be filed with the SEC and disseminated to holders of Shares, 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 the Schedule TO and the Offer Documents before they are filed with the SEC, and Parent and the Purchaser shall give due consideration to the reasonable additions, deletions or changes suggested thereto by the Company and its counsel. In addition, Parent and the Purchaser shall provide the Company and its counsel with copies of any written comments, and shall inform them of any oral comments, that Parent, the Purchaser or their counsel may

receive from time to time from the SEC or its staff with respect to the Schedule TO or the Offer Documents promptly after receipt of such comments, and any written or oral responses thereto. The Company and its counsel shall be given a reasonable opportunity to review any such written responses and Parent and the Purchaser shall give due consideration to the reasonable additions, deletions or changes suggested thereto by the Company and its counsel.

Section 1.2 Company Actions.

(a) On the date the Offer Documents are filed with the SEC or as soon as practicable thereafter, the Company shall, in a manner that complies with Rule 14d-9 under the Exchange Act, file with the SEC a Tender Offer Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9 with respect to the Offer (together with all amendments, supplements and exhibits thereto, the “Schedule 14D-9”) that shall, subject to the provisions of Section 5.4(d), contain the Company Board Recommendation. The Schedule 14D-9 will comply in all material respects with the applicable provisions of the Exchange Act. The Company agrees to cause the Schedule 14D-9 to be disseminated to holders of Shares, as and to the extent required by the Exchange Act. The Company, on the one hand, and Parent and the Purchaser, on the other hand, agree to promptly correct any information provided by such party for use in the Schedule 14D-9, if and to the extent that such information shall have become false or misleading in any material respect or as otherwise required by applicable Law, and the Company agrees to cause the Schedule 14D-9, as so corrected, to be filed with the SEC and disseminated to holders of Shares, in each case as and to the extent required by the Exchange Act. Parent, the Purchaser and their counsel shall be given a reasonable opportunity to review the Schedule 14D-9 before it is filed with the SEC, and the Company shall give due consideration to the reasonable additions, deletions or changes suggested thereto by Parent, the Purchaser and their counsel. In addition, the Company shall provide Parent, the Purchaser and their counsel with copies of any written comments, and shall inform them of any oral comments, that the Company or its counsel may receive from time to time from the SEC or its staff with respect to the Schedule 14D-9 promptly after receipt of such comments, and any written or oral responses thereto. Parent, the Purchaser and their counsel shall be given a reasonable opportunity to review any such written responses and the Company shall give due consideration to the reasonable additions, deletions or changes suggested thereto by Parent, the Purchaser and their counsel.

(b) Promptly after the date hereof (and in any event in sufficient time to permit the Purchaser to commence the Offer in a timely manner) and otherwise from time to time as requested by the Purchaser or its agents, the Company shall furnish or cause to be furnished to the Purchaser mailing labels, security position listings, non-objecting Beneficial Owner lists and any other listings or computer files containing the names and addresses of the record or Beneficial Owners of the Shares as of the most recent practicable date, and shall promptly furnish the Purchaser with such information (including updated lists of holders of the Shares and their addresses, mailing labels, security position listings and non-objecting Beneficial Owner lists) and such other assistance as the Purchaser or its agents may reasonably request in communicating with the record and Beneficial Owners of Shares, in connection with the preparation and dissemination of the Schedule TO and the Offer Documents and the solicitation of tenders of Shares in the Offer.

Section 1.3 Directors.

(a) Promptly upon the purchase by Purchaser pursuant to the Offer of such number of Shares as shall satisfy the Minimum Condition, and from time to time thereafter, Purchaser shall be entitled to designate such number of directors, rounded up to the next whole number, on the Company Board as shall give Purchaser representation on the Company Board equal to the product of the total number of directors on the Company Board (after giving effect to any increase in the number of directors pursuant to this Section 1.3) and the percentage that such number of Shares so purchased (including Shares accepted for payment and the purchased Top-Up Shares) bears to the total number of Shares outstanding, and the Company shall, upon request by Purchaser, promptly increase the size of the Company Board or use its reasonable best efforts to secure the resignations of such number of directors as is necessary to provide Purchaser with such level of representation and shall cause Purchaser’s designees to be so elected or appointed; provided, however, that Parent shall be entitled to designate at least a majority of the directors on the Company Board (as long as Parent and its Affiliates Beneficially Own a majority of the Shares of the Company). Subject to subsection (c) of this Section 1.3, the Company shall also cause individuals designated by Purchaser to constitute the same percentage as such individuals represent of the entire Company Board (but no less than a majority) on the following: (i) each committee of the Company Board; (ii) each Board of Directors and each committee thereof of each wholly owned Subsidiary of the Company and (iii) the designees, appointees or other similar representatives of the Company on each Board of Directors (or other similar governing body) and each committee thereof of each non-wholly owned Subsidiary. The Company’s obligations to appoint designees to the Company Board shall be subject to Section 14(f) of the Exchange Act. At the request of Purchaser, the Company shall take all actions necessary to effect any such election or appointment of Purchaser’s designees, including mailing to its stockholders the information required by Section 14(f) of the Exchange Act and Rule 14f-l promulgated thereunder which, unless Purchaser otherwise elects, shall be so mailed together with the Schedule 14D-9. Parent and Purchaser shall supply to the Company all information with respect to themselves and their respective officers, directors and Affiliates required by such Section and Rule.

(b) Following the election or appointment of Purchaser’s designees pursuant to Section 1.3(a) and prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall 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 not officers of the Company and who are independent directors for purposes of the continued listing requirements of the NYSE (the “Continuing Directors”); provided, however, that if the number of Continuing Directors is reduced below three for any reason, the remaining Continuing Directors shall be entitled to elect or designate a person meeting the foregoing criteria to fill such vacancy who shall be deemed to be a Continuing Director for purposes of this Agreement or, if no Continuing Directors then remain, the other directors shall designate three persons meeting the foregoing criteria to fill such vacancies, and such persons shall be deemed to be Continuing 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 1.3(b). So long as there shall be at least one Continuing Director, any amendment or termination of this Agreement requiring action by the Company Board, any extension of time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of Parent or Purchaser under this Agreement and any waiver of compliance with any of the agreements or

conditions under this Agreement for the benefit of the Company or any exercise of the Company’s rights or remedies under this Agreement shall require the concurrence of a majority of the Continuing Directors (or of the sole Continuing Director if there shall then be only one Continuing Director).

(c) In the event that Parent’s designees are elected or appointed to the Company Board pursuant to Section 1.3(a), until the Effective Time, each committee of the Company Board that is required by the NYSE rules or the federal securities laws to be comprised solely of, or a majority of, Continuing Directors shall be so comprised; provided, however, that in such event, if the number of Continuing Directors shall be reduced below the number of directors as may be required by such rules or securities laws for any reason whatsoever, the remaining Continuing Director(s) shall be entitled to designate persons meeting the foregoing criteria to fill such vacancies who shall be deemed to be Continuing Directors for purposes of this Agreement or, if no other Continuing Director then remains, the other directors shall designate such number of directors as may be required by the rules of the NYSE and the federal securities laws, to fill such vacancies who shall be deemed to be Continuing Directors for purposes of this Section 1.3(c).

Section 1.4 The Merger.

(a) Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, and in accordance with the DGCL, at the Effective Time, the Purchaser shall be merged with and into the Company. As a result of the Merger, the separate corporate existence of the Purchaser shall cease, and the Company shall continue as the surviving corporation of the Merger (the “Surviving Corporation”). The Merger shall have the effects set forth in the applicable provisions of the DGCL. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, at the Effective Time, all of the property, rights, privileges, immunities, powers and franchises of the Company and the Purchaser shall vest in the Surviving Corporation, and all of the debts, liabilities and duties of the Company and the Purchaser shall become the debts, liabilities and duties of the Surviving Corporation.

(b) At the Effective Time, the Company Charter shall, by virtue of the Merger, be amended and restated in its entirety to read as the certificate of incorporation of the Purchaser in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, except that all references therein to the Purchaser shall be deemed to be references to the Surviving Corporation, until thereafter changed or amended as provided therein or by applicable Law. The bylaws of the Purchaser, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be the bylaws of the Surviving Corporation, except that all references therein to the Purchaser shall be deemed to be references to the Surviving Corporation, until thereafter changed or amended as provided therein or by applicable Law.

(c) The directors of the Purchaser immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, from and after the Effective Time, be the initial directors of the Surviving Corporation, each to hold office in accordance with the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Surviving Corporation until their respective successors shall have been duly elected, designated or qualified, or until their earlier death, resignation or removal in accordance with the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Surviving Corporation. The officers of the Company

immediately prior to the Effective Time, from and after the Effective Time, shall continue as the officers of the Surviving Corporation, each to hold office in accordance with the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Surviving Corporation until their respective successors shall have been duly elected, designated or qualified, or until their earlier death, resignation or removal in accordance with the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Surviving Corporation.

(d) If at any time after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall determine, in its sole discretion, or shall be advised, that any deeds, bills of sale, instruments of conveyance, assignments, assurances or any other actions or things are necessary or desirable to vest, perfect or confirm of record or otherwise in the Surviving Corporation its right, title or interest in, to or under any of the rights, properties or assets of either of the Company or the Purchaser acquired or to be acquired by the Surviving Corporation as a result of, or in connection with, the Merger or otherwise to carry out this Agreement, then the officers and directors of the Surviving Corporation shall be authorized to execute and deliver, in the name and on behalf of either the Company or the Purchaser, all such deeds, bills of sale, instruments of conveyance, assignments and assurances and to take and do, in the name and on behalf of each of such corporations or otherwise, all such other actions and things as may be necessary or desirable to vest, perfect or confirm any and all right, title or interest in, to and under such rights, properties or assets in the Surviving Corporation or otherwise to carry out this Agreement.

Section 1.5 Closing and Effective Time of the Merger. The closing of the Merger (the “Closing”) shall take place at 8:00 a.m., Central Time, on a date to be specified by the parties (the “Closing Date”), such date to be no later than the third (3rd) Business Day after satisfaction or waiver of all of the conditions set forth in Article 6 (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the fulfillment or waiver of those conditions at the Closing), at the offices of Skadden, Arps, Slate, Xxxxxxx & Xxxx LLP, 000 Xxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx, unless another time, date or place is agreed to in writing by the parties hereto. On the Closing Date, or on such other date as Parent and the Company may agree to in writing, Parent, the Purchaser and the Company shall cause an appropriate certificate of merger or other appropriate documents (the “Certificate of Merger”) to be executed and filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware in accordance with the relevant provisions of the DGCL and shall make all other filings or recordings required under the DGCL. The Merger shall become effective at the time the Certificate of Merger shall have been duly filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware or such other date and time as is agreed upon by the parties and specified in the Certificate of Merger, such date and time hereinafter referred to as the “Effective Time”.

Section 1.6 Meeting of Stockholders to Approve the Merger.

(a) If elected by Parent, the Company shall prepare a proxy statement or information statement for the Special Meeting (together with any amendments and supplements thereto and any other required proxy materials, the “Proxy Statement”) relating to the Merger and this Agreement. If elected by Parent, the Proxy Statement shall be so prepared prior to the Acceptance Time such that the Proxy Statement shall be in a form ready, if necessary, to file with the SEC as promptly as practicable following the Acceptance Time. If, after the Acceptance Time, approval of the stockholders of the Company is required under applicable Law

to consummate the Merger, the Company shall file the Proxy Statement with the SEC as promptly as practicable following the Acceptance Time. Parent, the Purchaser and their counsel shall be given a reasonable opportunity to review the Proxy Statement before it is filed with the SEC, and the Company shall give due consideration to the reasonable additions, deletions or changes suggested thereto by Parent, the Purchaser and their counsel. The Company, on the one hand, and Parent and the Purchaser, on the other hand, agree to promptly correct any information provided by such party for use in the Proxy Statement, if and to the extent that it shall have become false or misleading in any material respect or as otherwise required by applicable Law, and the Company agrees to cause the Proxy Statement, as so corrected, to be filed with the SEC and, if any such correction is made following the mailing of the Proxy Statement, mailed to holders of Shares, in each case as and to the extent required by the Exchange Act. The Company shall provide Parent, the Purchaser and their counsel with copies of any written comments, and shall inform them of any oral comments, that the Company or its counsel may receive from time to time from the SEC or its staff with respect to the Proxy Statement promptly after the Company’s receipt of such comments, and any written or oral responses thereto. Parent, the Purchaser and their counsel shall be given a reasonable opportunity to review any such written responses and the Company shall give due consideration to the reasonable additions, deletions or changes suggested thereto by Parent, the Purchaser and their counsel.

(b) If, after the Acceptance Time, approval of the stockholders of the Company is required under applicable Law to consummate the Merger, the Company, acting through the Company Board, shall, in accordance with and subject to the requirements of applicable Law: (i) as promptly as practicable after the Acceptance Time, in consultation with Parent, duly set a record date for, and within five (5) Business Days after receipt of SEC clearance of the Proxy Statement, call and give notice of a special meeting of its stockholders (the “Special Meeting”) for the purpose of considering and taking action upon this Agreement (with the record date to be set in consultation with Parent for a date after the Acceptance Time); (ii) as promptly as practicable after the Acceptance Time, file the Proxy Statement with the SEC, and, within five (5) Business Days after receipt of SEC clearance of the Proxy Statement cause the Proxy Statement to be printed and mailed to the stockholders of the Company; (iii) solicit from its stockholders proxies in favor of the adoption of this Agreement and approval of the Merger, and secure any approval of the stockholders of the Company that is required by applicable Law to effect the Merger; and (iv) convene and hold the Special Meeting, provided, that (A) the Company shall not change the date of, postpone or adjourn the Special Meeting without Parent’s prior written consent and (B) Parent may cause the Company to postpone or adjourn the Special Meeting by prior written notice to the Company.

(c) At the Special Meeting or any postponement or adjournment thereof, Parent shall vote, or cause to be voted, all of the Shares then owned of record by Parent or the Purchaser or with respect to which Parent or the Purchaser otherwise has, directly or indirectly, sole voting power in favor of the adoption of this Agreement and approval of the Merger and Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts to deliver or provide (or cause to be delivered or provided), in its capacity as a stockholder of the Company, any other approvals that are required by applicable Law to effect the Merger.

Section 1.7 Merger Without Meeting of Stockholders. Notwithstanding the terms of Section 1.6, if after the Acceptance Time and, if applicable, the expiration of any “subsequent

offering period” provided by the Purchaser in accordance with this Agreement and, if applicable, the exercise of the Top-Up Option, Parent and the Purchaser shall then hold of record, in the aggregate, at least 90% of the outstanding shares (including the issuance of any Top-Up Shares) of each class of capital stock of the Company entitled to vote on the adoption of this Agreement under applicable Law (the “Short Form Threshold”), the parties hereto agree to take all necessary and appropriate action to cause the Merger to become effective as promptly as practicable, but no later than the time set forth in Section 1.5, without a meeting of stockholders of the Company in accordance with Section 253 of the DGCL.

Section 1.8 Top-Up Option.

(a) The Company hereby grants to the Purchaser an irrevocable option (the “Top-Up Option”), exercisable once upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, to purchase at the Offer Price an aggregate 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, Purchaser and their Affiliates at the time of such exercise, shall constitute one Share more than the Short Form Threshold; provided, however, that in no event shall the Top-Up Option be exercisable for a number of Shares in excess of the number of authorized but unissued Shares as of immediately prior to the issuance of the Top-Up Shares (giving effect to Shares reserved for issuance under the Company Equity Plans as if such Shares were outstanding); provided further, that the Top-Up Option shall terminate upon the earlier of: (x) the fifth (5th) Business Day after the later of (1) the Expiration Date and (2) the expiration of any “subsequent offering period”; and (y) the termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms.

(b) The obligation of the Company to deliver Top-Up Shares upon the exercise of the Top-Up Option is subject to the conditions that (i) no provision of any applicable Law (other than the rules and regulations of the NYSE, which shall not apply for purposes of this Section 1.8) and no judgment, injunction, Order or decree shall prohibit the exercise of the Top-Up Option or the delivery of the Top-Up Shares in respect of such exercise, (ii) upon exercise of the Top-Up Option, the number of Shares owned by Parent, Purchaser and their Affiliates constitutes one Share more than ninety percent (90%) of the number of Shares that shall be outstanding immediately after the issuance of the Top-Up Shares, and (iii) Purchaser has accepted for payment all Shares validly tendered in the Offer and not properly withdrawn. The parties shall cooperate to ensure that the issuance of the Top-Up Shares is accomplished consistent with all applicable legal requirements of all Governmental Entities, including compliance with an applicable exemption from registration of the Top-Up Shares under the Securities Act.

(c) To exercise the Top-Up Option, the Purchaser shall send to the Company a written notice (a “Top-Up Exercise Notice”) specifying (i) the number of Shares that shall be owned by Parent, Purchaser and their Affiliates immediately preceding the purchase of the Top-Up Shares and (ii) the place, time and date for the closing of the purchase and sale of the Top-Up Shares (the “Top-Up Closing”). The Company shall, promptly after receipt of the Top-Up Exercise Notice, deliver a written notice to the Purchaser confirming the number of Top-Up Shares and the aggregate purchase price therefor (the “Top-Up Notice Receipt”). At the Top-Up Closing, the Purchaser shall pay the Company, in the manner set forth in Section 1.8(d) hereof, the aggregate price required to be paid for the Top-Up Shares, in an aggregate principal amount

equal to that specified in the Top-Up Notice Receipt, and the Company shall cause to be issued and delivered to the Purchaser a certificate or certificates representing the Top-Up Shares or, at the Purchaser’s request or otherwise if the Company does not then have certificated Shares, the applicable number of Book-Entry Shares. Such certificates or Book-Entry Shares may include any legends that are required by applicable Law.

(d) Purchaser may pay the Company the aggregate price required to be paid for the Top-Up Shares either (i) entirely in cash or (ii) at Purchaser’s election, by (x) paying in cash an amount equal to not less than the aggregate par value of the Top-Up Shares and (y) executing and delivering to the Company a promissory note having a principal amount equal to the balance of the aggregate purchase price pursuant to the Top-Up Option less the amount paid in cash pursuant to the preceding clause (x) (a “Promissory Note”). Any such Promissory Note shall be full recourse against Parent and the Purchaser and (i) shall bear interest at the rate of 2% per annum, (ii) shall mature on the first anniversary of the date of execution and delivery of such Promissory Note and (iii) may be prepaid, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty.

(e) Parent and Purchaser acknowledge that the Shares which Purchaser may acquire upon exercise of the Top-Up Option shall not be registered under the Securities Act and shall be issued in reliance upon an exemption for transactions not involving a public offering. Parent and Purchaser represent and warrant to the Company that Purchaser is, or shall be upon any purchase of Top-Up Shares, an “accredited investor”, as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D under the Securities Act. Purchaser agrees that the Top-Up Option, and the Top-Up Shares to be acquired upon exercise of the Top-Up Option, if any, are being and shall be acquired by Purchaser 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).

ARTICLE 2

CONVERSION OF SECURITIES IN THE MERGER

Section 2.1 Conversion of Securities. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Parent, the Purchaser, the Company or the holders of any of the following securities:

(a) Conversion of Company Common Stock. Each Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (including each share of restricted stock outstanding under the Company Equity Plans), other than Shares to be cancelled or converted in accordance with Section 2.1(b) and Dissenting Shares, shall be converted into the right to receive the Offer Price (the “Merger Consideration”), payable net to the holder in cash, without interest, subject to any withholding of Taxes required by applicable Law in accordance with Section 2.2(e), upon surrender of the Certificate formerly representing such Shares (or, in the case of Book-Entry Shares, surrender of such Book-Entry Shares) in accordance with Section 2.2.

(b) Cancellation or Conversion of Treasury Stock and Parent-Owned Stock. All Shares that are held in the treasury of the Company and all Shares owned of record by Parent, the Purchaser or any of their respective wholly owned Subsidiaries shall be cancelled and shall cease to exist, with no payment being made with respect thereto. At the Effective Time, all

Shares, if any, held by each Subsidiary of the Company shall remain outstanding and shall become that number of shares of common stock of the Surviving Corporation that bears the same ratio to the aggregate number of outstanding shares of common stock of the Surviving Corporation as the number of Shares held by such Subsidiary bore to the aggregate number of outstanding Shares of the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time.

(c) Purchaser Common Stock. Each share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Purchaser issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (the “Purchaser Common Stock”) shall be converted into and become one newly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock of the Surviving Corporation.

Section 2.2 Payment for Securities; Surrender of Certificates.

(a) Paying Agent. At or prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall designate a reputable national bank reasonably acceptable to the Company to act as the paying agent for purposes of effecting the payment of the Merger Consideration in connection with the Merger (the “Paying Agent”). At or prior to the Effective Time, Parent or the Purchaser shall deposit, or cause to be deposited, with the Paying Agent funds sufficient to pay the aggregate Merger Consideration to which holders of Shares shall be entitled at the Effective Time pursuant to this Agreement. Such funds shall be invested or otherwise held by the Paying Agent as directed by Parent, pending payment thereof by the Paying Agent to the holders of the Shares; provided however, in the event that such funds on deposit with the Paying Agent are insufficient to pay the aggregate Merger Consideration, Parent shall deposit, or cause to be deposited, with the Paying Agent such additional funds to ensure that the Paying Agent has funds sufficient to pay the aggregate Merger Consideration. Earnings from such investments, if any, shall be the sole and exclusive property of Parent, and no part of any such earnings shall accrue to the benefit of holders of Shares.

(b) Procedures for Surrender. As promptly as practicable after the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Paying Agent to mail to each holder of record of a certificate or certificates that represented Shares (the “Certificates”) or non-certificated Shares represented by book-entry (“Book-Entry Shares”), in each case, which Shares were converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration at the Effective Time pursuant to this Agreement: (i) a letter of transmittal, which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of the Certificates to the Paying Agent, and shall otherwise be in such form and have such other provisions as Parent or the Paying Agent may reasonably specify, and (ii) instructions for effecting the surrender of the Certificates or Book-Entry Shares in exchange for payment of the Merger Consideration. Upon surrender of Certificates and Book-Entry Shares for cancellation to the Paying Agent or to such other agent or agents as may be appointed by Parent, and upon delivery of a letter of transmittal, duly executed and in proper form, with respect to such Certificates or Book-Entry Shares, the holder of such Certificates or Book-Entry Shares shall be entitled to receive the Merger Consideration for each Share formerly represented by such Certificates and for each Book-Entry Share. Any Certificates and Book-Entry Shares so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled. If payment of the Merger Consideration is to be made to a Person other than the Person in whose name any surrendered Certificate is registered, it shall be a condition precedent of payment that (x) the Certificate so surrendered shall be properly endorsed or shall be otherwise in proper form for

transfer, and (y) the Person requesting such payment shall have paid any transfer and other similar Taxes required by reason of the payment of the Merger Consideration to a Person other than the registered holder of the Certificate so surrendered and shall have established to the satisfaction of the Surviving Corporation that such Taxes either have been paid or are not required to be paid. Payment of the Merger Consideration with respect to Book-Entry Shares shall only be made to the Person in whose name such Book-Entry Shares are registered. Until surrendered as contemplated hereby, each Certificate or Book-Entry Share shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive the Merger Consideration in cash as contemplated by this Agreement, without interest thereon.

(c) Transfer Books; No Further Ownership Rights in Shares. As of the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed and thereafter there shall be no further registration of transfers of Shares on the records of the Company. From and after the Effective Time, the holders of Shares outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall cease to have any rights with respect to such Shares except as otherwise provided for herein or by applicable Law. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates are presented to the Surviving Corporation for any reason, they shall be cancelled and exchanged as provided in this Agreement.

(d) Termination of Fund; Abandoned Property; No Liability. At any time following the one year anniversary of the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall be entitled to require the Paying Agent to deliver to it any funds (including any interest received with respect thereto) made available to the Paying Agent and not disbursed to holders of Shares, and thereafter such holders shall be entitled to look only to the Surviving Corporation (subject to abandoned property, escheat or other similar Laws) only as general creditors thereof with respect to the Merger Consideration payable upon due surrender of their Shares and compliance with the procedures in Section 2.2(b), without interest and subject to any withholding of Taxes required by applicable Law in accordance with Section 2.2(e). If, prior to six years after the Effective Time (or otherwise immediately prior to such time on which any payment in respect hereof would escheat to or become the property of any Governmental Entity pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Laws), any holder of Shares has not complied with the procedures in Section 2.2(b) to receive payment of the Merger Consideration to which such holder would otherwise be entitled, the payment in respect of such Shares shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, become the property of the Surviving Corporation, free and clear of all claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of Parent, the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent shall be liable to any holder of Shares for Merger Consideration delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law.

(e) Withholding Rights. Parent, the Purchaser, the Surviving Corporation and the Paying Agent, as the case may be, shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the relevant Offer Price or Merger Consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder of Shares such amounts that Parent, the Purchaser, the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code, the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder or any provision of applicable Law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld by Parent, the Purchaser, the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having

been paid to the holder of Shares in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made by Parent, the Purchaser, the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent.

(f) Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. In the event that any Certificates shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, the Paying Agent shall issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificates, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the holder thereof, the Merger Consideration payable in respect thereof pursuant to Section 2.1(a) hereof; provided, however, that Parent may, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the payment of such Merger Consideration, require the owners of such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificates to deliver a bond in such sum as it may reasonably direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against Parent, the Purchaser, the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent with respect to the Certificates alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.

Section 2.3 Dissenting Shares. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Shares outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and held by a holder who is entitled to demand and has properly demanded appraisal for such Shares in accordance with, and who complies in all respects with, Section 262 of the DGCL (such Shares, the “Dissenting Shares”) shall not be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration, and shall instead represent the right to receive payment of the fair value of such Dissenting Shares in accordance with and to the extent provided by Section 262 of the DGCL. If any such holder fails to perfect or otherwise waives, withdraws or loses his right to appraisal under Section 262 of the DGCL or other applicable Law, then the right of such holder to be paid the fair value of such Dissenting Shares shall cease and such Dissenting Shares shall be deemed to have been converted, as of the Effective Time, into and shall be exchangeable solely for the right to receive the Merger Consideration, without interest and subject to any withholding of Taxes required by applicable Law in accordance with Section 2.2(e). The Company shall give Parent prompt notice of any demands received by the Company for appraisal of Shares, attempted withdrawals of such demands and any other instruments served pursuant to the DGCL and received by the Company relating to rights to be paid the fair value of Dissenting Shares, and Parent shall have the right to participate in and to control all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demands. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of Parent, make any payment with respect to, or settle or compromise or offer to settle or compromise, any such demands, or approve any withdrawal of any such demands, or agree to do any of the foregoing.

Section 2.4 Treatment of Options and Restricted Stock Units.

(a) Assumption of Company Stock Options. At the Effective Time, (i) each then outstanding and unexercised option to purchase shares of Company Common Stock (such options, the “Company Stock Options”) awarded under any equity incentive plan of the Company, including the Company’s 2002 Incentive Compensation Plan, as amended, the Company’s 2005 Incentive Compensation Plan, the Company’s Amended and Restated 2004 Stock Incentive Plan, the VISX, Incorporated 2001 Nonstatutory Stock Option Plan, the VISX, Incorporated 2000 Stock Plan, the VISX, Incorporated 1995 Director Option and Stock Deferral Plan, as amended and restated, the VISX, Incorporated 1995 Stock Plan, as amended, or any other similar plan, agreement, or arrangement, but excluding the Company’s Amended and Restated 2002 Employee Stock Purchase Plan and the Company’s Amended and Restated 2002

International Stock Purchase Plan (and any similar foreign employee stock purchase plans) (collectively, the “Company Equity Plans”), whether or not vested or exercisable prior to or as a result of the consummation of the Merger, and (ii) each Company Equity Plan, shall, without any further action on the part of any holder of a Company Stock Option, be assumed by Parent. Each Company Stock Option assumed by Parent under this Agreement shall continue to have, and be subject to, substantially the same terms and conditions as were applicable under the Company Equity Plans and the documents governing the Company Stock Options immediately before the Effective Time, except that (x) each Company Stock Option will be exercisable for that number of common shares, without par value, of Parent (the “Parent Common Stock”) (rounded down to the nearest whole share) equal to the product of (1) the number of Shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Company Stock Option and (2) the quotient obtained by dividing (A) the Merger Consideration by (B) the Fair Market Value of a share of Parent Common Stock as of the Effective Time (such quotient, the “Exchange Ratio”), and (y) the per share exercise price for the shares of Parent Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Company Stock Options will be equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (1) the per share exercise price for the shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Company Stock Option by (2) the Exchange Ratio (rounded up to the nearest whole cent) (each such Company Stock Option, as so adjusted, a “Converted Parent Option”). For purposes of this Section 2.4(a), “Fair Market Value of a share of Parent Common Stock” shall mean the per share closing sale price of Parent Company Common Stock on the NYSE (as reported on the New York Stock Exchange Composite Tape) on the trading day immediately prior to the date on which the Effective Time occurs.

(b) Terms and Conditions of Converted Parent Options. The Converted Parent Options shall have the same vesting schedule (including any acceleration of vesting as provided in the Company Equity Plans) as the Company Stock Options; provided that Parent shall convert Company Stock Options into Converted Parent Options in such a manner as to ensure that (i) the Converted Parent Options are not subject to Section 409A of the Code as a result of the assumption and conversion and (ii) Converted Parent Options received with respect to Company Stock Options that were “incentive stock options,” or “ISOs,” within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code shall continue to be ISOs within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company and Parent shall cooperate in taking all actions that are necessary to cause the Company Stock Options to be assumed and converted as provided in this Section 2.4.

(c) Treatment of Company Restricted Stock Units. As of the Acceptance Time, each unvested restricted stock unit awarded under the Company Equity Plans (“Restricted Stock Units”) shall vest in full and shall be settled for Company Common Stock in accordance with the terms of the applicable Company Equity Plan, which shares of Company Common Stock shall be converted in accordance with Section 2.1(a) into the right to receive the Merger Consideration at the Effective Time.

(d) Equity Award Waivers. Prior to the Acceptance Time, the Company shall use its best efforts to obtain all necessary waivers, consents or releases, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Parent, from holders of Company Stock Options under the Company Equity Plans and take all such other action, without incurring any liabilities in connection therewith, as Parent may deem to be necessary to give effect to the transactions contemplated by this Section 2.4 (the “Equity Award Waivers”). As promptly as practicable following the date of

this Agreement, the Company Board (or, if appropriate, any committee thereof administering the Company Equity Plans) shall adopt such resolutions or take such other actions as are required to give effect to the transactions contemplated by this Section 2.4.

(e) Reservation of Shares. Parent will (i) reserve for issuance the number of shares of Parent Common Stock that will become subject to the Converted Parent Options referred to in this Section 2.4 and (ii) issue or cause to be issued the appropriate number of shares of Parent Common Stock, upon the exercise of the Converted Parent Options. As soon as practicable after the Effective Time, Parent will prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement on Form S-8 (or other appropriate form) registering a number of shares of Parent Common Stock necessary to fulfill Parent’s obligations under this Section 2.4. Such registration statement will be kept effective (and the current status of the prospectus required thereby will be maintained) for at least as long as Converted Parent Options remain outstanding.

(f) Notices. As soon as practicable after the Effective Time, Parent will deliver to the holders of the Converted Parent Options appropriate notices setting forth the effect of the Merger on such holders’ rights pursuant to the Company Equity Plans and the agreements evidencing the grants of such Company Stock Options, and that such Company Stock Options will continue in effect as the Converted Parent Options on the same terms and conditions (subject to the adjustment required by this Section 2.4 after giving effect to the Merger).

Section 2.5 Treatment of Employee Stock Purchase Plans. The current offerings in progress as of the date hereof under the Company’s Amended and Restated 2002 Employee Stock Purchase Plan and the Company’s Amended and Restated 2002 International Stock Purchase Plan (and any similar foreign employee stock purchase plans) (collectively, the “ESPPs”) shall continue, and the shares of Company Common Stock shall be issued to participants of such ESPPs on the next currently scheduled purchase dates thereunder occurring after the date hereof and prior to the Effective Time as provided under, and subject to the terms and conditions of, each ESPP. In accordance with the terms of the relevant ESPP, any offering in progress as of the Effective Time shall be shortened, and each then-outstanding option under the ESPPs shall be exercised automatically on the Business Day immediately preceding the Effective Time. Notwithstanding any restrictions on transfer of stock in the relevant ESPP, the treatment in the Merger of any shares of Company Common Stock under this provision shall be in accordance with Section 2.1(a). The Company shall terminate each ESPP as of or prior to the Effective Time. The Company shall promptly after the date hereof amend each ESPP as appropriate to avoid the commencement of any new offering of options thereunder at or after the date hereof and prior to the earlier of the termination of this Agreement or the Effective Time and to effectuate the provisions of this Section 2.5. As promptly as practicable following the date of this Agreement, the Company Board (or, if appropriate, any committee thereof administering the ESPPs) shall adopt such resolutions or take such other actions as are required to give effect to the transactions contemplated by this Section 2.5.

Each of the Company and its Subsidiaries is duly qualified or licensed as a foreign corporation to do business, and is in good standing, in each jurisdiction where the character or location of the properties owned, leased or operated by them or the nature of their activities makes such qualification or licensing necessary, except for such failures to be so duly qualified or licensed and in good standing that would not reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect. A true, complete and correct list of all of the Company’s Subsidiaries, together with the jurisdiction of incorporation of each Subsidiary, the authorized capitalization of each Subsidiary, the owners of each Subsidiary’s outstanding capital stock or ownership interests and the number and percentage of shares or other ownership interests owned by each such owner, is set forth in Section 3.1 of the Company Disclosure Schedule.

The Company Charter, the Company Bylaws and the charter documents for each of the Company’s Subsidiaries (the “Subsidiaries Governance Documents”) are in full force and effect. The Company is not in violation of any of the provisions of the Company Charter or Company Bylaws, and none of the Company’s Subsidiaries is in violation of its respective Subsidiaries Governance Documents.

Section 3.3 Capitalization.

(a) The authorized capital stock of the Company consists of 240,000,000 Shares of Company Common Stock and 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Preferred Stock”), of which 1,200,000 shares are designated as Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock (the “Series A Preferred Stock”). As of January 5, 2009, (i) 61,673,373 Shares of Company Common Stock are issued and outstanding, (ii) no shares of Preferred Stock are issued and outstanding, (iii) an aggregate of 8,510,479 shares of Company Common Stock are reserved for issuance pursuant to the terms of outstanding awards granted pursuant to the Company Equity Plans, (iv) an aggregate of 4,399,848 shares of Company Common Stock are available for grant under the Company Equity Plans and the ESPPs, and (v) 41,809 Shares of Company Common Stock are issued and held in the treasury of the Company.

Except pursuant to the Rights Agreement, the Company has not authorized the issuance of any rights representing a right to purchase shares of preferred stock and the Company has not entered into a stockholder rights plan or similar agreement that could have a dilutive effect on certain stockholders. No Subsidiary of the Company owns any shares of capital stock of the Company.

(b) Subject to Section 5.3(d), Section 3.3(b) of the Company Disclosure Schedule sets forth a true, complete and correct list of (i) as of January 7, 2009, all outstanding (1) Company Stock Options and (2) restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance awards or other benefits granted under any Company Equity Plan that are payable in shares of Company Common Stock (such units, awards or other benefits, the “Company Incentive Awards”), indicating, with respect to each Company Stock Option and Company Incentive Award then outstanding, (I) the type of awards granted, (II) whether an award was an incentive stock option, (III) the number of shares of Company Common Stock or other shares subject to such Company Stock Option or Company Incentive Award, (IV) the country in which the holder of such award resides, if outside of the United States, (V) the relationship of the holder of such Company Stock Option or Company Incentive Award to the Company including the name of the employer if the

holder is a Company Employee and the country in which such employer is located, (VI) the name of the plan under which such Company Stock Option or Company Incentive Award was granted, (VII) the exercise price, date of grant, vesting schedule and expiration date thereof, including the extent to which any vesting had occurred as of the date of this Agreement, (VIII) whether (and to what extent) the vesting of such Company Stock Option or Company Incentive Award shall be accelerated in any way by the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or by the termination of employment or engagement or change in position of any holder thereof following or in connection with the consummation of the Merger, and (IX) the name of each holder of such awards, and (ii) each Company Equity Plan pursuant to which awards granted thereunder are outstanding, indicating in each case the number of shares of capital stock or other equity units that are available for issuance thereunder. The Company has delivered to Parent true, complete and correct copies of all Company Equity Plans and each ESPP and the forms of all stock option agreements and other award agreements evidencing outstanding Company Stock Options or Company Incentive Awards.

(a) Section 3.14(a) of the Company Disclosure Schedule sets forth a complete and accurate list of (i) each “employee benefit plan” as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA (whether foreign or domestic or whether or not subject to ERISA), (ii) all other material severance pay, salary continuation, bonus, incentive, retirement, thrift, savings, pension, workers’ compensation, termination (including termination notice requirements), indemnification, profit sharing, deferred compensation, stock ownership, stock purchase, stock appreciation, restricted stock, stock option, “phantom” stock, performance, paid time off, perquisite, fringe benefit, vacation, disability, death benefit, hospitalization, or medical plans, Contracts, programs, funds or arrangements and (iii) other material employee benefit plans, employment agreements, change in control agreements, Contracts, programs, funds or arrangements (whether written or oral, qualified or nonqualified, funded or unfunded, foreign or domestic) and any trust, escrow, or similar agreement related thereto, whether or not funded, in respect of any present or former employees, directors, or officers of the Company, any of its Subsidiaries, or any of the Controlled Group Members, which are sponsored or maintained by the Company, any of its Subsidiaries, or any of the Controlled Group Members or with respect to which the Company,

Neither the Company, any of its Subsidiaries nor any of the Controlled Group Members has any material liability with respect to any plan, Contract, program, fund or arrangement of the type described in the preceding sentence other than as set forth in the Employee Benefit Plans. “Controlled Group Member” means each member of any trade or business (whether or not incorporated) (x) under common control (within the meaning of Section 4001(b) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”)) with the Company, or (y) which together with the Company is treated as a single employer under Section 414(t) of the Code.

(c) Each Employee Benefit Plan is in material compliance with and has been administered in all material respects in accordance with all applicable Laws and the regulations thereunder, including, as applicable, ERISA and the Code, its terms, the terms of any applicable collective bargaining agreements, and each of the Company, any of its Subsidiaries and any of the Controlled Group Members has in all material respects met its obligations with respect to each Employee Benefit Plan and has timely made (or timely shall make) all required contributions thereto and is not in default or violation of and the Company has no Knowledge of any material default or violation by any other party to any Employee Benefit Plan. No Employee Benefit Plan is or within the last three calendar years has been the subject of, or has received notice that it is the subject of, an examination by a Governmental Entity or a participant in a government sponsored amnesty, voluntary compliance or similar program that has given rise to or is reasonably expected to give rise to any material liability. All filings, reports, returns, and similar documents, as to each Employee Benefit Plan required to have been submitted to the IRS or to the United States Department of Labor, or to any other Governmental Entity have been timely submitted. With respect to the Employee Benefit Plans, no event has occurred, and, to the Company’s Knowledge, no condition or set of circumstances exists in connection with which the Company, any of its Subsidiaries, any of the Controlled Group Members, or any Employee Benefit Plan participant would be reasonably likely to be subject to any material liability (including penalties or taxes) under any applicable Law, including ERISA or the Code, nor, to the Company’s Knowledge, would the negotiation or consummation of the transactions

contemplated by this Agreement be reasonably likely to give rise to any such liability. There have been no (i) non-exempt prohibited transactions (as defined in Section 4975(c) of the Code and Section 406 of ERISA) with respect to any such Employee Benefit Plan that is subject to Section 4975 of the Code or Section 406 of ERISA, where any party dealing with such Employee Benefit Plan or any such trust could reasonably be expected to be subject to either a civil penalty assessed pursuant to Section 409 or 502(i) of ERISA or a tax imposed pursuant to Section 4975 or 4976 of the Code, (ii) breaches of any of the duties imposed on “fiduciaries” (within the meaning of Section 3(21) of ERISA) by ERISA with respect to the Employee Benefit Plans that are subject to ERISA that could reasonably be expected to result in any material liability or excise tax under ERISA or the Code being imposed on the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of the Controlled Group Members or (iii) material breaches of any other fiduciary duty under applicable Law.

(d) With respect to the Employee Benefit Plans, there are no material benefit obligations for which contributions have not been made or properly accrued and there are no benefit obligations which have not been accounted for by reserves, or otherwise properly footnoted in accordance with the requirements of GAAP, on the financial statements of the Company. The assets of each Employee Benefit Plan which is funded are reported at their fair market value on the books and records of such Employee Benefit Plan.

(e) Each Employee Benefit Plan that is intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code (each, a “Qualified Plan”) has received determination, opinion or advisory letters from the IRS to the effect that such Employee Benefit Plan is qualified and the plan and trust related thereto are exempt from federal income taxes under Sections 401(a) and 501(a), respectively, of the Code, or the Company has remaining a period of time under applicable U.S. Department of the Treasury regulations or IRS pronouncements in which to apply for such a letter and to make any amendments necessary to obtain a favorable determination as to the qualified status of each such Qualified Plan. No such determination, opinion or advisory letter has been revoked and, no such revocation has been threatened. No such Employee Benefit Plan has been amended or operated since the date of its most recent determination letter or application therefor in any respect, and no act or omission has occurred, that would reasonably be expected to adversely affect its qualification or increase its cost. The Company has provided Parent with a complete and accurate copy of the most recent determination letter received prior to the date hereof for each Qualified Plan, as well as a complete and accurate copy of each pending application for a determination letter, if any. The Company has also provided to Parent a complete and accurate list of all amendments to each Qualified Plan as to which a favorable determination letter has not yet been received or application for a determination letter made. There has been no termination, partial termination or discontinuance of contributions to any Qualified Plan that shall result in material liability to the Company. Each Employee Benefit Plan which is required to satisfy Section 401(k)(3) or Section 401(m)(2) of the Code has been tested for compliance with, and satisfies in all material respects, the requirements of Section 401(k)(3) or Section 401(m)(2) of the Code, as the case may be, for each plan year ending prior to the Closing Date for which testing is required to be completed.

(f) Neither the Company, its Subsidiaries nor any of the Controlled Group Members has ever (i) maintained a Employee Benefit Plan that was subject to Section 412 of the Code or Title IV of ERISA or had any liability with respect to such plan or (ii) been obligated to

contribute to a “multiemployer plan” (as defined in Section 4001(a)(3) of ERISA) that is subject to ERISA. No Employee Benefit Plan is funded by, associated with or related to a “voluntary employees’ beneficiary association” within the meaning of Section 501(c)(9) of the Code.

(g) To the extent permitted by applicable Law, each Employee Benefit Plan (other than the Company Equity Plans, the ESPPs, or an employment, severance, change in control or similar agreement with an individual) is amendable and terminable unilaterally by the Company or one or more of its Subsidiaries or one of the Controlled Group Members party thereto or covered thereby at any time without material liability to the Company, or any of its Subsidiaries or any Controlled Group Member as a result thereof, other than for benefits accrued as of the date of such amendment or termination and routine administrative costs.

(h) Other than as required under Section 601 et seq. of ERISA, none of the Employee Benefit Plans promises or provides health or other welfare benefits (excluding normal claims for benefits under the Company’s group life insurance, accidental death and dismemberment insurance and disability plans and policies) or coverage to any person following retirement or other termination of employment.

(i) There are no actions, suits, proceedings, claims, arbitrations, audits or investigations that are pending or, to the Company’s Knowledge, threatened, with respect to any Employee Benefit Plan (i) other than claims for benefits to be determined by the Company in the Ordinary Course of the Company’s Business, or (ii) by or on behalf of any current or former employee of the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of the Controlled Group Members, and to the Company’s Knowledge, no fact or event exists that could give rise to any such matter. No action, suit, proceeding, claim, arbitration, audit or investigation is pending or, to the Company’s Knowledge, threatened, with respect to any Employee Benefit Plan, other than claims for benefits in the Ordinary Course of the Company’s Business.

(j) Except as would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a material liability, each individual who has received compensation for the performance of services on behalf of the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any Controlled Group Member has been properly classified as an employee or independent contractor in accordance with applicable Law. Except as set forth in Section 3.14(j) of the Company Disclosure Schedule, no current or former independent contractor that provides or provided personal services to the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any Controlled Group Member (other than a current or former member of the Company’s Board of Directors) is entitled to any material fringe or other benefits (other than cash consulting fees) pursuant to any plan, Contract, program, fund or arrangement of any kind which the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any Controlled Group Member is a party or which is maintained, sponsored, or contributed to by the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any Controlled Group Member.

(k) With respect to each Employee Benefit Plan, (i) all liabilities with respect to such plan are set forth on a consolidated balance sheet of the Company, its Subsidiaries and the Controlled Group Members or in the notes thereto in accordance with GAAP; (ii) each such plan required to be registered with a Governmental Entity has been registered; and (iii) in the case of any such plan that is a defined benefit pension plan (or termination indemnity plan), the fair market value of the assets of each such plan, together with any accrued contributions and

applicable book reserve, is sufficient to procure or provide for the liability for accrued benefits with respect to those current and former employees of the Company, its Subsidiaries or any Controlled Group Member that participate in such plan according to the generally accepted country and plan-specific actuarial or other applicable assumptions and valuations most recently used to determine employer contributions to or the funded status of such plans.

(l) Section 3.14(l) of the Company Disclosure Schedule sets forth a complete and accurate list of (i) all employment agreements with executive employees and any other material employees of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; (ii) all non-competition agreements with current or former executive employees of the Company or officers of any of its Subsidiaries; (iii) all severance programs and policies that provide severance in excess of the amount required by Law to the employees of the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any Controlled Group Member, but, excluding such programs and policies providing only severance to the extent required by Law; and (iv) all plans, Contracts, programs, funds and arrangements of any kind of the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any Controlled Group Member pursuant to which payments (or acceleration of benefits or vesting of options or lapse of repurchase rights) may be required upon, or may become payable directly or indirectly as a result of or in connection with, the negotiation or consummation of the transactions contemplated by, or the execution of, this Agreement.

(m) All material (i) insurance premiums required to be paid with respect to, (ii) benefits, expenses, and other amounts due and payable under, and (iii) contributions, transfers, or payments required to be made to, any Employee Benefit Plan on or prior to the Effective Time have been or shall be timely made or are reflected on the Company’s Balance Sheet. There are no pending or, to the Company’s Knowledge, threatened or reasonably anticipated claims by or on behalf of any plan, by any employee or beneficiary covered under any such Employee Benefit Plan, or otherwise involving any such plan (other than routine claims for benefits).

(n) With respect to any Contract or insurance policy providing funding for benefits under any Employee Benefit Plan, (i) to the Company’s Knowledge, there is no material liability of the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any Controlled Group Member in the nature of a retroactive rate adjustment, loss sharing arrangement, or other actual or contingent liability, nor, to the Company’s Knowledge, would there be any such liability if such Contract or insurance policy was terminated on the date hereof, and (ii) neither any party to any such Contract nor any insurance company issuing any such policy is in receivership, conservatorship, liquidation or similar proceeding and, to the Knowledge of the Company, no such proceedings with respect to any such insurer are imminent.

(o) None of the Company, the Company’s Subsidiaries or any Controlled Group Member has agreed or committed to institute any plan, Contract, program, fund or arrangement of any kind for the benefit of employees or former employees of the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any Controlled Group Member other than the Employee Benefit Plans, or to make any amendments to any of the Employee Benefit Plans. No Employee Benefit Plan provides benefits to any individual who is not a current or former employee of the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any Controlled Group Member, or the dependents or other beneficiaries of any such current or former employee.

(p) Section 3.14(p) of the Company Disclosure Schedule sets forth a true, complete and correct list of each plan, program or arrangement that is or may reasonably be deemed to be subject to Section 409A of the Code. Each Employee Benefit Plan that is a “nonqualified deferred compensation plan” (as defined in Section 409A(d)(1) of the Code) has been operated since January 1, 2005 in good faith compliance with Section 409A of the Code and IRS Notice 2005-1 is now in documentary compliance. No Employee Benefit Plan that is a “nonqualified deferred compensation plan” has been materially modified (as determined under Notice 2005-1) after October 3, 2004. Except as set forth in Section 3.14(p) of the Company Disclosure Schedule, no award granted under any of the Company Equity Plans or any ESPP is subject to Section 409A of the Code.

(q) There are no outstanding Company Incentive Awards or any restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance awards or other benefits granted under any equity incentive plan of any Subsidiary of the Company that are payable in cash.

(r) The negotiation or consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement will not, either alone or in combination with another event (including as a result of termination of employment on or following the Closing), (i) entitle any current or former employee or officer of the Company, or any of its Subsidiaries or any Controlled Group Member to severance pay, or any other payment from the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any Controlled Group Member, (ii) accelerate the time of payment or vesting, cause a lapse of repurchase rights, trigger any payment or funding (through a grantor trust or otherwise) of, or compensation or benefits under, increase the amount payable or trigger any other material obligation pursuant to any Employee Benefit Plan or increase the amount of compensation due any such employee or officer, or (iii) result in any breach or violation of, or default under any Employee Benefit Plan. There is no Employee Benefit Plan or other plan, Contract, program, fund or arrangement of any kind, that, individually or collectively, could give rise to the payment of any amount that would not be deductible pursuant to Sections 280G (determined without regard to Section 280G(b)(4) of the Code) or 162(m) of the Code.

(s) All amounts payable to holders of Company Common Stock and other securities of the Company pursuant to the Employee Benefit Plans (i) are being paid or granted as compensation for past services performed, future services to be performed or future services to be refrained from performing by such holders (and matters incidental thereto) and (ii) are not calculated based on the number of shares tendered or to be tendered into the Offer by the applicable holder. The compensation committee of the Company Board (the “Compensation Committee”) (each member of which the Company Board determined is an “independent director” within the meaning of Section 303A.02 of the NYSE Listed Company Manual and is an “independent director” in accordance with the requirements of Rule 14d-10(d)(2) under the Exchange Act) (A) at a meeting duly called and held, or in action by unanimous written consent, duly adopted resolutions approving as an “employment compensation, severance or other employee benefit arrangement” within the meaning of Rule 14d-10(d)(1) under the Exchange Act (1) each Company Equity Plan, (2) each ESPP, (3) the treatment of the Company Stock Options and Restricted Stock Units in accordance with the terms set forth in this Agreement, the applicable Company Equity Plan and any applicable Employee Benefit Plans, and (4) each other Employee Benefit Plan, which resolutions have not been rescinded, modified or withdrawn in any way, and (B) has taken all other actions necessary to satisfy the requirements of the non-

(u) Except as required under Section 2.4, there is no obligation to consult, negotiate, or reach agreement with any employee, employee group, or employee representative with respect to the negotiation or consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(v) Each Employee Benefit Plan has timely filed with the SEC all forms, reports, schedules, statements and other documents, including any exhibits and schedules thereto, required to be filed by such Employee Benefit Plan with the SEC (collectively, the “Benefit Plan SEC Reports”) since its respective inception. The Benefit Plan SEC Reports, including all forms, reports and documents filed by the Employee Benefit Plans with the SEC after the date hereof and prior to the Effective Time, (i) were prepared in all material respects in accordance with the applicable requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, as the case may be, and the rules and regulations thereunder, and (ii) did not at the time they were filed contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated in such Benefit Plan SEC Reports or necessary in order to make the statements in such Benefit Plan SEC Reports, in light of the circumstances under which they were or shall be made, not misleading.

(a) All of the Company Registered Intellectual Property is owned solely by the Company or one of its Subsidiaries and has been duly recorded in the name of the Company or such Subsidiary with the applicable Governmental Entity. “Registered Intellectual Property” means U.S. and foreign (i) patents and pending patent applications; (ii) trademark registrations (including Internet domain registrations) and pending trademark applications; and (iii) copyright registrations and pending copyright applications. “Company Registered Intellectual Property” means all Registered Intellectual Property owned by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

Property owned by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, and, to the Company’s Knowledge, there is no specific basis for such a claim. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is a party to any settlements, covenants not to xxx, consents, decrees, stipulations, judgments, or Orders resulting from suits, actions or similar legal proceedings which (i) restrict the Company’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ rights to use any Intellectual Property (other than trademarks) owned by and material to the business of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries as currently conducted, (ii) restrict the conduct of the business of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries as currently conducted in order to avoid infringement of any third party’s Intellectual Property rights (other than trademarks), (iii) permit third parties to use any Intellectual Property owned by and material to the business of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries as currently conducted, (iv) materially restrict the Company’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ rights to use any trademarks owned by and material to the business of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries as currently conducted, or (v) materially restrict the conduct of the business of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries as currently conducted in order to avoid infringement of any third party’s trademarks.

The Company shall immediately cease and cause to be terminated any solicitation, encouragement, discussion or negotiation with any Persons conducted prior to the execution of this Agreement by the Company, its Subsidiaries or any of the Company Representatives with respect to any Acquisition Proposal and cause to be returned or destroyed all confidential information provided by or on behalf of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to such Person to the extent that the Company is entitled to have such documents returned or destroyed.

contains provisions that are no less favorable in the aggregate to the Company than those contained in the data privacy agreement executed by Parent in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (B) furnish information with respect to the Company and its Subsidiaries to the Person making such Acquisition Proposal and (C) participate in discussions or negotiations with the Person making such Acquisition Proposal regarding such Acquisition Proposal; provided that the Company (x) shall promptly (and in any event within twenty-four (24) hours) notify Parent orally and in writing of any determination concerning an Acquisition Proposal pursuant to this Section 5.4(b), (y) shall not, and shall not allow its Subsidiaries and the Company Representatives to, disclose any information to such Person without first entering into an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement and a data privacy agreement that contains provisions that are no less favorable in the aggregate to the Company than those contained in the data privacy agreement executed by Parent in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and (z) shall promptly provide to Parent any information concerning the Company or its Subsidiaries provided to such other Person which was not previously provided to Parent.

The Company shall not, and shall cause its Subsidiaries not to, terminate, waive, amend or modify any provision of, or grant permission under, any standstill or confidentiality Contract to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 5.4(a), if the Company receives an Acquisition Proposal which the Company Board concludes in good faith, after consultation with outside counsel and financial advisors, constitutes a Superior Proposal, after giving effect to all of the adjustments to the terms of this Agreement which may be offered by Parent (including pursuant to clause (II) below), the Company Board may at any time prior to the Acceptance Time, (i) effect a Change of Board Recommendation with respect to such Superior Proposal and/or (ii) terminate this Agreement to enter into a definitive agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal; provided, however, that the Company shall not terminate this Agreement pursuant to the foregoing clause (ii), unless substantially concurrently with such termination the Company pays the Breakup Fee and otherwise complies with the provisions of Section 7.1(e) and Section 7.3; and provided further that the Company Board may not effect a change of Company Board Recommendation or terminate this Agreement pursuant to the foregoing clause (ii) unless (A) the Company shall not have breached this Section 5.4, (B) the Company Board shall have taken into account any changes to the terms of this Agreement proposed by Parent in response to a Notice of Adverse Recommendation, and (C):

(II) prior to effecting such Change of Board Recommendation or terminating this Agreement to enter into a definitive agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal, the Company shall, and shall cause the Company Representatives to, during the Notice Period, negotiate with Parent in good faith to make such adjustments in the terms and conditions of this Agreement so that such Acquisition Proposal ceases to constitute a Superior Proposal.

(e) Nothing contained in this Section 5.4 shall prohibit the Company Board from disclosing to the stockholders of the Company a position contemplated by Rule 14e-2(a) and Rule 14d-9 promulgated under the Exchange Act; provided, however, that any disclosure of a position contemplated by Rule 14e-2(a) or Rule 14d-9 promulgated under the Exchange Act other than a “stop, look and listen” or similar communication of the type contemplated by Rule 14d-9(f) under the Exchange Act, an express rejection of any applicable Acquisition Proposal or an express reaffirmation of its recommendation to its stockholders in favor of the Offer shall be deemed to be a Change of Board Recommendation.

other rights (i) in any other Person, including any Company Employees, former Company Employees, any participant in any Employee Benefit Plan, or any dependent or beneficiary thereof, or (ii) to continued employment with Parent, the Surviving Corporation, or any of their respective Affiliates.

Section 8.5 Headings. The headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

Section 8.6 Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of Law or Order or public policy, all other

conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner to the end that transactions contemplated hereby are fulfilled to the extent possible.

Section 8.7 Entire Agreement. This Agreement (together with the Exhibits, Parent Disclosure Schedules, Company Disclosure Schedules and the Support Agreements and the other documents delivered pursuant hereto, including any Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement or data privacy agreement entered into in accordance with Section 5.4(b)) and the Nondisclosure Agreement constitute the entire agreement of the parties and supersede all prior agreements and undertakings, both written and oral, among the parties, or any of them, with respect to the subject matter hereof and, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, are not intended to confer upon any other Person any rights or remedies hereunder.

Section 8.8 Assignment. The Agreement shall not be assigned by any party by operation of Law or otherwise without the prior written consent of the other parties, provided that Parent or the Purchaser may assign any of their respective rights and obligations to any direct or indirect Subsidiary of Parent without the consent of any other party, but no such assignment shall relieve Parent or the Purchaser, as the case may be, of its obligations hereunder.

Section 8.9 Parties in Interest. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of each party hereto and their respective successors and assigns, and nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, other than pursuant to Section 5.9, is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person any right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement.

Section 8.10 Mutual Drafting; Interpretation. Each party hereto has participated in the drafting of this Agreement, which each party acknowledges is the result of extensive negotiations between the parties. If an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties, and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any provision. For purposes of this Agreement, whenever the context requires: the singular number shall include the plural, and vice versa; the masculine gender shall include the feminine gender; and the feminine gender shall include the masculine gender. Except as otherwise indicated, all references in this Agreement to “Sections,” “Exhibits,” “Annexes” and “Schedules” are intended to refer to Sections of this Agreement and Exhibits, Annexes and Schedules to this Agreement. All references in this Agreement to “$” are intended to refer to U.S. dollars. Unless otherwise specifically provided for herein, the term “or” shall not be deemed to be exclusive. For purposes of this Agreement, the use of the term “including” shall be deemed to mean “including, without limitation.”

Section 8.11 Governing Law; Consent to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Trial by Jury.

(a) This Agreement and all matters arising hereunder or in connection herewith shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the Laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to laws that may be applicable under conflicts of laws principles (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the Laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware.

(b) Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Delaware Court of Chancery (and if jurisdiction in the Delaware Court of Chancery shall be unavailable, the Federal court of the United States of America sitting in the State of Delaware), and any appellate court thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the agreements delivered in connection herewith or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment relating thereto, and each of the parties hereby irrevocably and unconditionally (i) agrees not to commence any such action or proceeding except in the Delaware Court of Chancery (and if jurisdiction in the Delaware Court of Chancery shall be unavailable, the Federal court of the United States of America sitting in the State of Delaware), (ii) agrees that any claim in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in the Delaware Court of Chancery (and if jurisdiction in the Delaware Court of Chancery shall be unavailable, the Federal court of the United States of America sitting in the State of Delaware), and any appellate court thereof, (iii) waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such action or proceeding in the Delaware Court of Chancery (and if jurisdiction in the Delaware Court of Chancery shall be unavailable, the Federal court of the United States of America sitting in the State of Delaware), and (iv) waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in the Delaware Court of Chancery (and if jurisdiction in the Delaware Court of Chancery shall be unavailable, the Federal court of the United States of America sitting in the State of Delaware), and any appellate court thereof. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Law. Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 8.2. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by Law.

(c) EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE IT HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY OF THE AGREEMENTS DELIVERED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY. EACH PARTY CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (I) NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE EITHER OF SUCH WAIVERS, (II) IT UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF SUCH WAIVERS, (III) IT MAKES SUCH WAIVERS VOLUNTARILY,

AND (IV) IT HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 8.11(c).

Section 8.12 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, and by the different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when executed shall be deemed to be an original but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

Section 8.13 Specific Performance. The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that, prior to any valid termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 7.1, (a) each party shall be entitled at its election to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof in any court of the United States or any state having jurisdiction, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at Law or in equity, (b) the parties waive any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond, guarantee or other undertaking in connection with the obtaining of any specific performance or injunctive relief and (c) the parties shall waive, in any action for specific performance, the defense of adequacy of a remedy at Law. Either party’s pursuit of specific performance at any time shall not be deemed an election of remedies or waiver of the right to pursue any other right or remedy to which such party may be entitled, including the right to pursue remedies for liabilities or damages incurred or suffered by such party in the case of a breach of this Agreement involving fraud or willful or intentional misconduct. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to the Company the provisions of this Section 8.13 are subject to the damage limitation set forth in Section 7.3.

(iii) one or more of the representations and warranties of the Company set forth in the Merger Agreement shall not be true and correct (without giving effect to any limitation as to “materiality” or “Company Material Adverse Effect” or similar terms set forth therein, or references to “substantial compliance” or “substantial conformity” or similar terms contained in Sections 3.20, 3.21 and 3.23) except where the failure to be so true and correct does not have, and would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Company Material Adverse Effect as if such representations and warranties were made at the time of such determination (except to the extent such representations and warranties relate to an earlier date, in which case only as of such earlier date);

(iv) the Company shall have breached or failed, in any material respect, to perform or to comply with any agreement or covenant required to be performed or complied with by it under the Merger Agreement and such breach or failure shall not have been cured within twenty (20) Business Days following receipt by the Company of written notice of such breach or failure from Parent;

The failure by Parent or the Purchaser 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 which may be asserted at any time and from time to time.
