of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or the holders of any of the following securities, the following shall occur:

(i) each share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Merger Sub that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into one validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock of the Surviving Corporation, and thereupon each certificate representing ownership of such shares of common stock of Merger Sub shall thereafter represent ownership of shares of common stock of the Surviving Corporation;

(ii) each share of Company Common Stock that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than Owned Company Shares and, to the extent provided in Section 2.7(c), Dissenting Shares) shall be canceled and extinguished and automatically converted into the right to receive cash in an amount equal to $3.25 (the “Per Share Price”), without interest thereon, in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.8 (or in the case of a lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, upon delivery of an affidavit in accordance with the provisions of in Section 2.10); and

(iii) each share of Company Common Stock owned by Parent or Merger Sub, or by any direct or indirect wholly-owned Subsidiary of Parent or Merger Sub, in each case immediately prior to the Effective Time (“Owned Company Shares”), shall be cancelled and extinguished without any conversion thereof or consideration paid therefor.

(b) Adjustment to Per Share Price. The Per Share Price shall be adjusted appropriately to reflect the effect of any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend (including any dividend or other distribution of securities convertible into Company Common Stock), reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, combination, exchange of shares or other like change with respect to Company Common Stock occurring on or after the date hereof and prior to the Effective Time.

(i) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, other than Section 2.7(a)(ii), any shares of Company Common Stock held by a holder who has perfected a demand for appraisal rights for such shares pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL and who, as of the Effective Time, has not effectively withdrawn or lost the right to appraisal under Section 262 of the DGCL (“Dissenting Shares”) shall not be converted into or represent a right to receive the Per Share Price pursuant to Section 2.7(a), but instead shall be converted into the right to receive only such consideration as may be determined to be due with respect to such Dissenting Shares under the DGCL. From and after the Effective Time, a holder of Dissenting Shares shall not be entitled to exercise any of the voting rights or other rights of an equity owner of the Surviving Corporation or of a stockholder of Parent.

(ii) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.7(c)(i), if any holder of shares of Company Common Stock who demands appraisal for such shares in accordance with the DGCL shall effectively withdraw or lose (through failure to perfect or otherwise) such

appraisal right, then, as of the later of the Effective Time and the occurrence of such event, such holder’s shares shall no longer be Dissenting Shares and shall automatically be converted into and represent only the right to receive the Per Share Price as set forth in Section 2.7(a), without interest thereon.

(iii) The Company shall give Parent (A) prompt notice of any written demands for appraisal rights of any shares of Company Common Stock, withdrawals of such demands and any other instruments served pursuant to the DGCL and received by the Company which relate to any such demand for appraisal rights and (B) the opportunity to participate in and direct all negotiations and proceedings which take place prior to the Effective Time with respect to demands for appraisal rights under the DGCL. The Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of Parent, make any payment with respect to any demands for appraisal rights of Company Common Stock or offer to settle or settle any such demands.

(d) Company Stock-Based Awards. Parent shall not assume any Company Stock-Based Awards and at the Effective Time each Company Stock-Based Award outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether vested or unvested, shall be cancelled and converted into and shall become a right to receive an amount in cash, without interest, equal to (x) the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to the Company Stock-Based Award multiplied by (y) the Per Share Price (the “Company Stock-Based Award Consideration”). With respect to any outstanding performance-based Company Stock-Based Award, the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Company Stock-Based Award for purposes of (x) above shall be deemed to be one hundred percent (100%) of the target number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Company Stock-Based Award (as set forth in the applicable award agreement). As soon as practicable (and in no event more than fourteen (14) calendar days) following the Closing, the Company shall pay to each holder of a Company Stock-Based Awards the Company Stock-Based Consideration (if any), less withholding for all taxes required to be paid to any such holder of a Company Stock-Based Award pursuant to this Section 2.7(d). The cancellation of a Company Stock-Based Award as provided in the first sentence of this Section 2.7(d) shall be deemed the termination, and satisfaction in full of, any and all rights the holder had or may have had in respect of such Company Stock-Based Award.

(e) Company Options. Parent shall not assume any Company Options and at the Effective Time each Company Option outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether vested or unvested, shall be cancelled and converted into and shall become a right to receive an amount in cash, without interest, equal to the excess, if any, of (x) (A) the Per Share Price above (B) the exercise price per share attributable to such Company Option, multiplied by (y) the total number of shares of Company Common Stock issuable upon exercise in full of such Company Option (the “Option Consideration”). As soon as practicable (and in no event more than fourteen (14) calendar days) following the Closing, the Company shall pay to each holder of a Company Option the Option Consideration (if any), less withholding for all taxes required to be paid to any such holder of a Company Option pursuant to this Section 2.7(e). The cancellation of a Company Option as provided in the first sentence of this Section 2.7(e) shall be deemed the termination, and satisfaction in full of, any and all rights the holder had or may have had in respect of such Company Option.

(f) Termination of Company Stock Plans. Conditional upon the Closing, the Company shall take all appropriate or necessary steps to effect the termination of each Company Stock Plan as of the Effective Time so that, following the Effective Time, there shall be no outstanding Company Stock-Based Awards.

2.8 Exchange of Certificates.

(a) Payment Agent. Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall select a bank or trust company reasonably acceptable to the Company to act as the payment agent for the Merger (the “Payment Agent”).

(b) Exchange Fund. Prior to the Closing, Parent shall deposit (or cause to be deposited) with the Payment Agent, for payment to the holders of shares of Company Common Stock pursuant to the provisions of this Article II, an amount of cash equal to the aggregate consideration to which holders of Company Common Stock and holders of Company Stock-Based Awards and Company Options become entitled under this Article II. Until disbursed in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, such funds (the “Exchange Fund”) shall be invested by the Payment Agent, as directed by Parent or the Surviving Corporation, in obligations of or guaranteed by the United States of America or obligations of an agency of the United States of America which are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States of America, in commercial paper obligations rated A-1 or P-1 or better by Xxxxx’x Investors Services Inc. or Standard & Poor’s Corporation or in deposit accounts, certificates of deposit or banker’s acceptances of, or repurchase or reverse repurchase agreements with, commercial banks, each of which has capital exceeding $500 million based on the most recent financial statements of the banks which are then publicly available. Earnings from such investments shall be the sole and exclusive property of Parent and the Surviving Corporation, and no part of such earnings shall accrue to the benefit of the holders of Company Common Stock, Company Stock-Based Awards or Company Options. To the extent that there are any losses with respect to any investments of the Exchange Fund, the Exchange Fund diminishes for any reason below the level required for the Payment Agent to promptly pay the cash amounts contemplated by this Article II, or all or any portion of the Exchange Fund is unavailable to promptly pay the cash amounts contemplated by this Article II for any reason, Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, promptly replace or restore the cash in the Exchange Fund so as to ensure that the Exchange Fund is at all times fully available for distribution and maintained at a level sufficient for the Payment Agent to make such payments contemplated by this Article II.

(c) Payment Procedures. Promptly following the Effective Time, Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall cause the Payment Agent to mail to each holder of record (as of immediately prior to the Effective Time) of (i) a certificate or certificates (the “Certificates”) which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding shares of Company Common Stock (other than Owned Company Shares) and (ii) uncertificated shares of Company Common Stock (other than Owned Company Shares) (the “Uncertificated Shares”), in each case, whose shares were converted into the right to receive the Per Share Price pursuant to Section 2.7 (x) a letter of transmittal in customary form (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 Payment Agent) and (y) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates and Uncertificated Shares in exchange for the Per Share Price payable in respect thereof pursuant to

the provisions of this Article II. Upon surrender of Certificates for cancellation to the Payment Agent or to such other agent or agents as may be appointed by Parent, together with such letter of transmittal, duly completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto, the holders of such Certificates shall be entitled to receive promptly in exchange therefor an amount in cash equal to the product obtained by multiplying (x) the aggregate number of shares of Company Common Stock represented by such Certificate that were converted into the right to receive the Per Share Price pursuant to Section 2.7 by (y) the Per Share Price (less any applicable withholding taxes payable in respect thereof), and the Certificates so surrendered shall forthwith be canceled. Upon receipt of an “agent’s message” by the Payment Agent (or such other evidence, if any, of transfer as the Payment Agent may reasonably request) in the case of a book-entry transfer of Uncertificated Shares, the holders of such Uncertificated Shares shall be entitled to receive promptly in exchange therefor an amount in cash equal to the product obtained by multiplying (x) the aggregate number of shares of Company Common Stock represented by such holder’s transferred Uncertificated Shares that were converted into the right to receive the Per Share Price pursuant to Section 2.7 by (y) the Per Share Price (less any applicable withholding taxes payable in respect thereof), and the transferred Uncertificated Shares so surrendered shall forthwith be canceled. The Payment Agent shall accept such Certificates and transferred Uncertificated Shares upon compliance with such reasonable terms and conditions as the Payment Agent may impose to effect an orderly exchange thereof in accordance with normal exchange practices. No interest shall be paid or accrued for the benefit of holders of the Certificates and Uncertificated Shares on the Per Share Price payable upon the surrender of such Certificates and Uncertificated Shares pursuant to this Section 2.8. Until so surrendered, outstanding Certificates and Uncertificated Shares shall be deemed from and after the Effective Time to evidence only the right to receive the Per Share Price, without interest thereon, payable in respect thereof pursuant to the provisions of this Article II.

(d) Transfers of Ownership. In the event that a transfer of ownership of shares of Company Common Stock is not registered in the stock transfer books or ledger of the Company, or if the Per Share Price is to be paid in a name other than that in which the Certificates or Uncertificated Shares surrendered in exchange therefor are registered in the stock transfer books or ledger of the Company, the Per Share Price may be paid to a Person other than the Person in whose name the Certificate or Uncertificated Shares so surrendered is registered in the stock transfer books or ledger of the Company only if such Certificate is properly endorsed and otherwise in proper form for surrender and transfer and the Person requesting such payment has paid to Parent (or any agent designated by Parent) any transfer or other Taxes required by reason of the payment of the Per Share Price to a Person other than the registered holder of such Certificate or Uncertificated Shares, or established to the satisfaction of Parent (or any agent designated by Parent) that such transfer or other Taxes have been paid or are otherwise not payable.

(e) Required Withholding. Each of the Payment Agent, Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any cash amounts payable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder or former holder of shares of Company Common Stock, Company Stock-Based Awards and Company Options such amounts as may be required to be deducted or withheld therefrom under United States federal or state, local or foreign Tax Laws. To the extent that such amounts are so deducted or withheld, such amounts shall be

treated for all purposes under this Agreement as having been paid to the Person to whom such amounts would otherwise have been paid.

(f) No Liability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, none of the Payment Agent, Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any other party hereto shall be liable to a holder of shares of Company Common Stock for any amount properly paid to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law.

(g) Distribution of Exchange Fund to Parent. Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains undistributed to the holders of the Certificates or Uncertificated Shares on the date that is six (6) months after the Effective Time shall be delivered to Parent upon demand, and any holders of shares of Company Common Stock that were issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Merger who have not theretofore surrendered their Certificates or Uncertificated Shares representing such shares of Company Common Stock for exchange pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2.8 shall thereafter look for payment of the Per Share Price payable in respect of the shares of Company Common Stock represented by such Certificates or Uncertificated Shares solely to Parent, as general creditors thereof, for any claim to the applicable Per Share Price to which such holders may be entitled pursuant to the provisions of this Article II.

2.9 No Further Ownership Rights in Company Common Stock. From and after the Effective Time, all shares of Company Common Stock shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled, retired and cease to exist, and each holder of Uncertificated Shares or a Certificate theretofore representing any shares of Company Common Stock (other than Dissenting Shares) shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the Per Share Price payable therefor in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.7. The Per Share Price paid in accordance with the terms of this Article II shall be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such shares of the Company Common Stock. From and after the Effective Time, there shall be no further registration of transfers on the records of the Surviving Corporation of shares of Company Common Stock that were issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, other than transfers to reflect, in accordance with customary settlement procedures, trades effected prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates or Uncertificated Shares are presented to the Surviving Corporation for any reason, they shall be canceled and exchanged as provided in this Article II.

2.10 Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. In the event that any Certificates shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, the Payment 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 and, if required by Parent or the Surviving Corporation, the posting by such holder of a bond in such reasonable amount as Parent or the Surviving Corporation may require as indemnity against claims that may be made with respect to such Certificates, the Per Share Price payable in respect thereof pursuant to Section 2.7.

2.11 Necessary Further Actions. If, at any time after the Effective Time, any further action is necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement and to vest the Surviving Corporation with full right, title and possession to all assets, property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of the Company and Merger Sub, the directors and officers of the Company and Merger Sub shall take all such lawful and necessary action.

The Company is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under Delaware Law, and has the requisite corporate power and authority to conduct its business as it is presently being conducted and to own, lease or operate its properties and assets, except where the failure to be in good standing would not have a Company Material Adverse Effect. The Company is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction where the character of its properties owned or leased or the nature of its activities make such qualification necessary (to the extent the “good standing” concept is applicable in the case of any jurisdiction outside the United States), except where the failure to be so qualified or in good standing would not have, individually or in the aggregate, a Company Material Adverse Effect. The Company is not in violation of the Certificate of Incorporation or its bylaws, except for such violations that have not had and would not have, individually or in the aggregate, a Company Material Adverse Effect.

3.2 Corporate Power; Enforceability. The Company has the requisite corporate power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement, to perform its covenants and obligations hereunder and, subject to receiving the Requisite Stockholder Approval, to consummate the Merger. The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Company, the performance by the Company of its covenants and obligations hereunder and the consummation of the Merger have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Company and no additional corporate proceedings on the part of the Company are necessary to authorize the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Company, the performance by the Company of its covenants and obligations hereunder or, subject to the receipt of the Requisite Stockholder Approval, the consummation of the Merger. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Company and, assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery by Parent and Merger Sub, constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, except that such enforceability (a) may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other similar Laws affecting or relating to creditors’ rights generally and (b) is subject to general principles of equity.

3.3 Company Board Approval; Fairness Opinion; Anti-Takeover Laws.

(a) The Company Board (excluding any director that was excluded and did not vote or consent due to conflicts of interest) has unanimously (i) determined that it is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders, and declared it advisable, to enter into this Agreement and consummate the Merger upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, (ii) approved the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Company, the performance by this Company of its covenants and obligations hereunder and the consummation of the Merger upon the terms and conditions contained set forth herein and (iii) resolved to recommend that the Company Stockholders adopt this Agreement in accordance with the DGCL (the “Company Board Recommendation”).

(b) The Company has received the opinion of Foros Securities LLC to the effect that, as of the date of such opinion and subject to the assumptions and qualifications set forth therein, the Per Share Price to be received in the Merger is fair from a financial point of view to the stockholders of the Company. The Company shall deliver executed copies of such written opinion to Parent promptly upon receipt thereof solely for informational purposes.

(c) Assuming that the representations of Parent and Merger Sub set forth in Section 4.7 are true and correct, the Company Board has taken all necessary actions such that the restrictions on business combinations set forth in Section 203 of the DGCL and any other similar applicable “anti-takeover” Law will not be applicable to the Merger contemplated by this Agreement.

3.4 Requisite Stockholder Approval. The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock (the “Requisite Stockholder Approval”) is the only vote of the holders of any class or series of Company Capital Stock that is necessary under applicable Law, the Certificate of Incorporation and the Company’s bylaws to adopt this Agreement and to consummate the Merger.

3.5 Non-Contravention. The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Company, the performance by the Company of its covenants and obligations hereunder and the consummation of the Merger do not and will not (a) violate or conflict with any provision of the Certificate of Incorporation or bylaws of the Company, (b) violate, conflict with or result in the breach of or constitute a default (or an event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under, or result in the termination of, or accelerate the performance required by, or result in a right of termination or acceleration under, any Material Contract or material permit to which the Company or any of its properties or assets may be bound, (c) assuming compliance with the matters referred to in Section 3.6 and, in the case of the consummation of the Merger, subject to obtaining the Requisite Stockholder Approval, violate or conflict with any Law or order applicable to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or by which any of their respective properties or assets are bound or (d) result in the creation of any lien upon any of the properties or assets of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, except in the case of each of clauses (c) and (d) above, for such violations, conflicts, defaults, terminations, accelerations or liens which would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Company Material Adverse Effect or prevent or materially delay or impede the consummation of the Merger or the ability of the Company to fully perform its covenants and obligations under this Agreement.

3.6 Requisite Governmental Approvals. No consent, approval, order or authorization of, filing or registration with, or notification to (any of the foregoing being referred to herein as a “Consent”), any Governmental Authority is required on the part of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Company, the performance by the Company of its covenants and obligations under this Agreement or the consummation of the Merger, except (a) the filing and recordation of the Certificate of Merger with the Delaware Secretary of State and such filings with Governmental Authorities to satisfy the applicable laws of states in which the Company and its Subsidiaries are qualified to do business, (b) such filings and approvals as may be required by any federal or state securities laws, including compliance with any applicable requirements of the Exchange Act, (c) compliance with any applicable requirements of the HSR Act and any applicable foreign Antitrust Laws and (d) such other Consents, the failure of which to obtain would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Company Material Adverse Effect or prevent or materially delay or impede the consummation of the Merger or the ability of the Company to fully perform its covenants and obligations under this Agreement.

6.4 Company Stockholder Meeting.

(a) The Company shall establish a record date for, call, give notice of, convene and hold a meeting of the Company Stockholders (or any adjournment or postponement thereof, the “Company Stockholder Meeting”) as promptly as reasonably practicable following the date hereof for the purpose of voting to approve the Merger in accordance with the DGCL (and in any event, subject to the immediately following proviso, no later than 45 calendar days immediately following the SEC Clearance Date); provided, however, nothing herein shall prevent the Company from postponing or adjourning the Company Stockholder Meeting if (i) there are holders of insufficient shares of the Company Common Stock present or represented by a proxy at the Company Stockholder Meeting to constitute a quorum at the Company Stockholder Meeting, (ii) the Company is required to postpone or adjourn the Company Stockholder Meeting by applicable Law, order or a request from the SEC or its staff or (iii) the Company Board shall have determined in good faith (after reasonable consultation with outside legal counsel) that it is necessary or appropriate to postpone or adjourn the Company Stockholder Meeting, including in order to (A) give Company Stockholders sufficient time to evaluate any information or disclosure that the Company has sent to Company Stockholders or otherwise made available to Company Stockholders by issuing a press release, filing materials with the SEC or otherwise (including in connection with any Company Board Recommendation Change), or (B) provide for additional time to solicit proxies from Company Stockholders..

(b) Notwithstanding any commencement, public proposal, public disclosure or communication to the Company of any Acquisition Proposal (whether or not a Superior Proposal) or any withdrawal, amendment or modification of the Company Board Recommendation, unless this Agreement is earlier terminated pursuant to Article VIII or the Company Board shall have effected a Company Board Recommendation Change pursuant to the terms of Section 6.5(a), the Company shall solicit from the Company Stockholders proxies in favor of the approval of the Merger in accordance with Delaware Law, submit the Merger for approval of the Company Stockholders at the Company Stockholder Meeting and use its reasonable best efforts to secure the Requisite Stockholder Vote at the Company Stockholder Meeting. The Company shall, upon the reasonable request of Parent, advise Parent at least on a daily basis on each of the last ten Business Days prior to the date of the Company Stockholders Meeting as to the aggregate tally of the proxies received by the Company with respect to the Requisite Stockholder Vote. Without the prior written consent of Parent, the adoption of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (including the Merger) shall be the only matter (other than procedure matters) that the Company shall propose to be acted on by the Company Stockholders at the Company Stockholders Meeting, and the Company shall not submit to the vote of the Company Stockholders any Acquisition Proposal (whether or not a Superior Proposal). Notwithstanding any Company Board Recommendation Change, unless this Agreement is validly terminated pursuant to, and in accordance with Article VII, this Agreement shall be submitted to the Company Stockholders for the purpose of obtaining the Requisite Stockholder Vote.

Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement (including the provisions of Section 6.1), at any time prior to the receipt of the Requisite Stockholder Approval, the Company Board may effect a Company Board Recommendation Change if the Company Board shall have determined in good faith (after reasonable consultation with outside legal counsel) that the failure to effect a Company Board Recommendation Change would reasonably be expected to be a breach of its fiduciary duties under applicable Law. The Company shall provide Parent and Merger Sub with prompt written notice of any Company Board Recommendation Change.

(b) Nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit the Company Board from (i) taking and disclosing to the Company Stockholders a position contemplated by Rule 14e-2(a) under the Exchange Act or complying with the provisions of Rule 14d-9 promulgated under the Exchange Act and (ii) making any disclosure to the Company Stockholders that the Company Board shall have determined in good faith (after reasonable consultation with its outside legal counsel) that the failure to make such disclosure would reasonably be expected to be a breach of its fiduciary duties under applicable Law; provided, however, that, in either such case, any such statement(s) or disclosures made by the Company Board shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including the provisions of Article VIII.

6.6 Public Statements. Neither the Company, on the one hand, nor Parent and Merger Sub, on the other hand, shall issue any public release or make any public announcement concerning this Agreement or the Merger without the prior written consent of the other party(ies) (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), except as such release or announcement may be required by applicable Law or the rules or regulations of any applicable securities exchange or regulatory or Governmental Authority to which the relevant party is subject or submits, wherever situated, in which case the party required to make the release or announcement shall use its reasonable best efforts to allow the other party(ies) hereto reasonable time to comment on such release or announcement in advance of such issuance (it being understood that the final form and content of any such release or announcement, as well as the timing of any such release or announcement, shall be at the final discretion of the disclosing party); provided, however, that the restrictions set forth in this Section 6.6 shall not apply to any release or announcement made or proposed to be made by the Company in connection with an Acquisition Proposal or an Acquisition Transaction, or otherwise pursuant to Section 6.5.

6.7 Anti-Takeover Laws. In the event that any state anti-takeover or other similar Law or order is or becomes applicable to any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Company, Parent and Merger Sub shall use their respective reasonable best

efforts to ensure that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement may be consummated as promptly as practicable on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement and otherwise to minimize the effect of such Law or order on this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.

6.8 Access. At all times during the period commencing with the execution and delivery of this Agreement and continuing until the earlier to occur of the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Article VIII and the Effective Time, the Company shall afford Parent and its financial advisors, business consultants, legal counsel, accountants and other agents and representatives reasonable access during normal business hours, upon reasonable notice, to the properties, books and records and personnel of the Company (including true and complete copies of the Company’s and each of its Subsidiaries’ internal financial statements, Tax Returns, Tax elections and all other records relating to Taxes) ; provided, however, that the Company may restrict or otherwise prohibit access to any documents or information to the extent that (a) any applicable Law (including any Laws relating to security clearances) requires the Company to restrict or otherwise prohibit access to such documents or information, (b) access to such documents or information would give rise to a material risk of waiving any attorney-client privilege, work product doctrine or other applicable privilege applicable to such documents or information, (c) access to a Contract to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or otherwise bound would violate or cause a default under, or give a third party the right terminate or accelerate the rights under, such Contract or (d) such documents or information relate directly or indirectly to any Acquisition Proposals that the Company or any of its Representatives may have received from any Person or any discussions or negotiations that the Company or any of its Representatives is having, consistent with the terms of this Agreement, with respect to any Acquisition Proposal or any other proposals that could lead to an Acquisition Proposal, if, any such case of (a) through (d), the Company informs Parent of the reason for such restriction or prohibition; and provided further, that nothing in this Section 6.8 or elsewhere in this Agreement shall be construed to require the Company or its Representatives to prepare any reports, analyses, appraisals, opinions or other information. Any investigation conducted pursuant to the access contemplated by this Section 6.8 shall be conducted in a manner that does not unreasonably interfere with the conduct of the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries or create a risk of damage or destruction to any property or assets of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. Any access to the Company’s properties shall be subject to the Company’s reasonable security measures and insurance requirements and shall not include the right to perform invasive testing. The terms and conditions of the Confidentiality Agreement shall apply to any information obtained by Parent or any of its financial advisors, business consultants, legal counsel, accountants and other agents and representatives in connection with any investigation conducted pursuant to the access contemplated by this Section 6.8.

6.10 Directors’ and Officers’ Exculpation, Indemnification and Insurance.

(a) From and after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries shall (and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries to) honor and fulfill in all respects (i) the obligations of the Company and its Subsidiaries under any and all indemnification agreements between the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and any of their respective current or former directors and officers and any person who becomes a director or officer of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries prior to the Effective Time (the “Indemnified Persons”) and (ii) any indemnification, exculpation or advance of expenses provision under the certificate of incorporation and bylaws (or comparable organizational documents) of the Company and its Subsidiaries as in effect as of the date of this Agreement.

(b) Without limiting the generality of the provisions of Section 6.10(a), during the period commencing at the Effective Time and ending on the sixth anniversary of the Effective Time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, Parent, the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries shall (and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries to) indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnified Person from and against any costs, fees and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and investigation expenses), judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages, liabilities and amounts paid in settlement in connection with any claim, proceeding, investigation or inquiry, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, to the extent such claim, proceeding, investigation or inquiry arises directly or indirectly out of or pertains directly or indirectly to (i) any action or omission or alleged action or omission in such Indemnified Person’s capacity as a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or other Affiliates (regardless of whether such action or omission, or alleged action or omission, occurred prior to, at or after the Effective Time), or (ii) any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided, however, that if, at any time prior to the sixth anniversary of the Effective Time, any Indemnified Person delivers to Parent a written notice asserting a claim for indemnification under this Section 6.10(b), then the claim asserted in such notice shall survive the sixth anniversary of the Effective Time until such time as such claim is fully and finally resolved. In addition, during the period commencing at the Effective Time and ending on the sixth anniversary of the Effective Time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, Parent, the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries shall (and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries to) advance, prior to the final disposition of any claim, proceeding, investigation or inquiry for which indemnification may be sought under this Agreement, promptly following request by an Indemnified Person therefor, all costs, fees and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and investigation expenses) incurred by such Indemnified Person in connection with any such claim, proceeding, investigation or inquiry upon receipt of an undertaking by such Indemnified Person to repay such advances if it is ultimately decided in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction that such Indemnified Person is not entitled to indemnification. In the event of any such claim, proceeding, investigation or inquiry, (i) Parent shall have the right to control the defense thereof after the Effective Time (it being understood that, by electing to control the defense thereof, Parent shall be deemed to have waived any right to object to the Indemnified Person’s entitlement to indemnification hereunder with respect thereto), (ii) each Indemnified Person shall be entitled to retain his or her own counsel, whether or not Parent shall elect to control the defense of any such claim, proceeding, investigation or inquiry, (iii) Parent shall pay

all reasonable fees and expenses of any counsel retained by an Indemnified Person promptly after statements therefor are received, whether or not Parent shall elect to control the defense of any such claim, proceeding, investigation or inquiry (provided that notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 6.10 or elsewhere in this Agreement, the Surviving Corporation (and Parent) shall not be obligated to pay for the fees and expenses of more than one counsel (selected by a majority of the applicable Indemnified Persons for any Indemnified Persons in any jurisdiction with respect to a single claim, proceeding, investigation or inquiry) except to the extent that two or more of such Indemnified Persons have an actual material conflict of interest in such claim, proceeding, investigation or inquiry) and (iv) no Indemnified Person shall be liable for any settlement effected without his or her prior express written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 6.10(b) or elsewhere in this Agreement, neither Parent nor any of its Affiliates shall settle or otherwise compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment or otherwise seek termination with respect to any claim, proceeding, investigation or inquiry for which indemnification may be sought by an Indemnified Person under this Agreement unless such settlement, compromise, consent or termination includes an unconditional release of all Indemnified Persons from all liability arising out of such claim, proceeding, investigation or inquiry.

(c) During the period commencing at the Effective Time and ending on the sixth anniversary of the Effective Time, Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall maintain in effect the Company’s current directors’ and officers’ liability insurance (“D&O Insurance”) in respect of acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Effective Time, covering each person covered by the D&O Insurance, on terms with respect to the coverage and amounts that are equivalent to those of the D&O Insurance; provided, however, that in satisfying their obligations under this Section 6.10(c), Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall not be obligated to pay annual premiums in excess of two hundred fifty percent (250%) of the amount paid by the Company for coverage for its last full fiscal year as set forth in Section 6.10(c) of the Company Disclosure Letter (such two hundred fifty percent (250%) amount, the “Maximum Annual Premium”); provided, however, that that if the annual premiums of such insurance coverage exceed such amount, Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall be obligated to obtain a policy with the greatest coverage available for a cost not exceeding the Maximum Annual Premium. Prior to the Effective Time, notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, the Company may purchase a six-year “tail” prepaid policy on the D&O Insurance. In the event that the Company elects to purchase such a “tail” policy prior to the Effective Time, Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall maintain such “tail” policy in full force and effect and continue to honor their respective obligations thereunder, in lieu of all other obligations of Parent and the Surviving Corporation under the first sentence of this Section 6.10(c) for so long as such “tail” policy shall be maintained in full force and effect.

(d) If Parent or the Surviving Corporation or any of their successors or assigns shall (i) consolidate with or merge into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfer all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, proper provisions shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Parent or the Surviving Corporation, as the case

may be, shall assume all of the obligations of the Surviving Corporation (or Parent) set forth in this Section 6.10.

(e) The obligations set forth in this Section 6.10 shall not be terminated, amended or otherwise modified in any manner that adversely affects any Indemnified Person (or any other person who is a beneficiary under the D&O Insurance or the “tail” policy referred to in Section 6.10(c) (and their heirs and representatives)) without the prior written consent of such affected Indemnified Person or other person who is a beneficiary under the D&O Insurance or the “tail” policy referred to in Section 6.10(c) (and their heirs and representatives). Each of the Indemnified Persons or other persons who are beneficiaries under the D&O Insurance or the “tail” policy referred to in Section 6.10(c) (and their heirs and representatives) are intended to be third party beneficiaries of this Section 6.10, with full rights of enforcement as if a party thereto. The rights of the Indemnified Persons (and other persons who are beneficiaries under the D&O Insurance or the “tail” policy referred to in Section 6.10(c) (and their heirs and representatives)) under this Section 6.10 shall be in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other rights that such persons may have under the certificates of incorporation, bylaws or other equivalent organizational documents, any and all indemnification agreements of or entered into by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or applicable Law (whether at law or in equity).

(f) The obligations and liability of the Surviving Corporation, Parent and their respective Subsidiaries under this Section 6.10 shall be joint and several.

(g) Nothing in this Agreement is intended to, shall be construed to or shall release, waive or impair any rights to directors’ and officers’ insurance claims under any policy that is or has been in existence with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for any of their respective directors, officers or other employees, it being understood and agreed that the indemnification provided for in this Section 6.10 is not prior to or in substitution for any such claims under such policies.

6.11 Employee Matters.

(a) Parent hereby acknowledges that a “change of control” (or similar phrase) within the meaning of the Employee Plans, as applicable, will occur as of the Effective Time, as applicable.

(b) From and after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall (and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to) honor all Employee Plans and compensation arrangements in accordance with their terms as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, provided that nothing in this sentence shall prohibit the Surviving Corporation from amending or terminating any such Benefit Plans, arrangements or agreements in accordance with their terms or if otherwise required by applicable Law.

(c) The Surviving Corporation or one of its Subsidiaries shall (and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation or one of its Subsidiaries to), offer employment by the Surviving Corporation or one of its Subsidiaries to all employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries as of the Effective Time by taking such actions as required under applicable Law,

including by offering to enter into an offer letter and/or related agreement (or similar document as appropriate) with such employees. For a period of one year following the Effective Time and for so long as such Continuing Employee continues to be employed by the Surviving Corporation or one of its Affiliates during such period, the Surviving Corporation shall (and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to) either (i) maintain for the benefit of each Continuing Employee the Employee Plans and any other employee benefit plans or other compensation and severance arrangements of the Surviving Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries (together, the “Company Plans” but excluding equity based benefits and individual employment agreements) at benefit levels that, taken as a whole, are no less than those in effect at the Company or its Subsidiaries on the date of this Agreement, and provide compensation and benefits to each Continuing Employee under such Company Plans, or (ii) provide compensation, benefits and severance payments (other than equity based benefits and individual employment agreements) to each Continuing Employee that, taken as a whole, are no less favorable in the aggregate than the compensation, benefits and severance payments (other than equity based benefits and individual employment agreements) provided to similarly situated employees of Parent (“Parent Plans”).

(d) To the extent that a Company Plan or Parent Plan is made available to any Continuing Employee on or following the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall (and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to) use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause to be granted to such Continuing Employee credit for all service with the Company and its Subsidiaries prior to the Effective Time for purposes of eligibility to participate, vesting and entitlement to benefits where length of service is relevant (including for purposes of vacation accrual and severance pay entitlement); provided, however, that such service need not be credited to the extent that it would result in duplication of coverage or benefits. In addition, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, for purposes of the employee benefit plans sponsored by the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries (other than the Company Plans) (such plans, collectively, the “New Plans”) that provide medical, dental, pharmaceutical, vision and/or disability benefits to any Continuing Employee, the Surviving Corporation shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to (i) cause all waiting periods, pre-existing condition exclusions, evidence of insurability requirements and actively-at-work or similar requirements of such New Plan to be waived for such Continuing Employee and his or her covered dependents, (ii) cause any eligible expenses incurred by such Continuing Employee and his or her covered dependents during the portion of the plan year ending on the date such employee’s participation in the corresponding New Plan begins to be given full credit under such New Plan for purposes of satisfying all deductible, coinsurance and maximum out-of-pocket requirements applicable to such Continuing Employee and his or her covered dependents for the applicable plan year as if such amounts had been paid in accordance with such New Plan and (iii) credit the accounts of such Continuing Employees under any New Plan which is a flexible spending plan with any unused balance in the account of such Continuing Employee under the applicable Company Plan. Any vacation or paid time off accrued but unused by a Continuing Employee as of immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be credited to such Continuing Employee following the Effective Time, and shall not be subject to accrual limits or other forfeiture and shall not limit future accruals.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, no provision of this Agreement shall be deemed to (i) guarantee employment for any period of time for, or preclude the ability of Parent or the Surviving Corporation to terminate, any Continuing Employee for any reason, or (ii) subject to the limitations and requirements specifically set forth in this Section 6.11, require Parent or the Surviving Corporation to continue any Company Plan or prevent the amendment, modification or termination thereof after the Effective Time.

6.12 Obligations of Merger Sub. Parent shall take all action necessary to cause Merger Sub and the Surviving Corporation to perform their respective obligations under this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement.

6.13 Notification of Certain Matters.

(a) At all times during the period commencing with the execution and delivery of this Agreement and continuing until the earlier to occur of the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Article VIII and the Effective Time, the Company shall give prompt written notice to Parent and Merger Sub upon becoming aware that any representation or warranty made by it in this Agreement has become materially untrue or inaccurate, or of any material failure of the Company to comply with or satisfy any covenant, condition or agreement to be complied with or satisfied by it under this Agreement; provided, however, that no such notification shall affect or be deemed to modify any representation or warranty of the Company set forth in this Agreement or the conditions to the obligations of Parent and Merger Sub to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the remedies available to the parties hereunder; and provided further, that the terms and conditions of the Confidentiality Agreement shall apply to any information provided to Parent pursuant to this Section 6.13(a).

6.14 Tax Returns. The Company shall file or cause to be filed when due (taking into account all extensions properly obtained) all Tax Returns that are required to be filed by or with respect to the Company or its Subsidiaries on or before the Closing Date consistent with the positions taken, elections made and methods used by the Company in preparing Tax Returns filed in prior periods and the Company shall remit or cause to be remitted any Taxes due in

respect of such Tax Returns. The Company shall permit the Parent to review each income Tax Return that covers a pre-Closing Date Tax period. Parent shall have thirty days to review and comment on each such Tax Return and the Company shall make such revisions as reasonably requested by the Parent.

6.15 Further Assurances. Unless the Company Board shall have effected a Company Board Recommendation Change in accordance with Section 6.5(a), each party, at the reasonable request of another party, shall execute and deliver such other instruments and do and perform such other acts and things as may be necessary for effecting the consummation of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.

(d) Liquidated Damages. In the event that Parent shall receive the Company Termination Fee, the receipt of such fee shall be deemed to be liquidated damages for any and all losses or damages suffered or incurred by Parent, Merger Sub, any of their respective Affiliates or any other Person in connection with this Agreement (and the termination hereof), the transactions contemplated hereby (and the abandonment thereof) or any matter forming the basis for such termination, and none of Parent, Merger Sub, any of their respective Affiliates or any other Person shall be entitled to bring or maintain any other claim, action or proceeding against the Company or any of its Affiliates arising out of this Agreement, any of the transactions contemplated hereby or any matters forming the basis for such termination.

(e) Enforcement. The parties hereto acknowledge and hereby agree that the covenants and agreements set forth in this Section 8.3 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and that, without these agreements, the parties hereto would not have entered into this Agreement.

Parent, Merger Sub and the Company hereby acknowledge that Parent and the Company have previously executed a Confidentiality Agreement, dated as of August 11, 2010 (as amended, the “Confidentiality Agreement”), which will continue in full force and effect in accordance with its terms.

This Agreement and the documents and instruments and other agreements among the parties hereto as contemplated by or referred to herein, including the Company Disclosure Letter, constitute the entire agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof; provided, however, the Confidentiality Agreement shall not be superseded, shall survive any termination of this Agreement and shall continue in full force and effect until the earlier to occur of (a) the Effective Time and (b) the date on which the Confidentiality Agreement expires in accordance with its terms or is validly terminated by the parties thereto. EACH PARTY HERETO AGREES THAT, EXCEPT FOR THE REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES CONTAINED IN THIS AGREEMENT, NEITHER PARENT AND MERGER SUB, ON THE ONE HAND, NOR THE COMPANY, ON THE OTHER HAND, MAKES ANY REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES TO THE OTHER, AND EACH PARTY HEREBY DISCLAIMS ANY OTHER REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, OR AS TO THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF ANY OTHER INFORMATION, MADE (OR MADE AVAILABLE BY) BY ITSELF OR ANY OF ITS REPRESENTATIVES, WITH RESPECT TO, OR IN CONNECTION WITH, THE NEGOTIATION, EXECUTION OR DELIVERY OF

THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY, NOTWITHSTANDING THE DELIVERY OR DISCLOSURE TO THE OTHER OR THE OTHER’S REPRESENTATIVES OF ANY DOCUMENTATION OR OTHER INFORMATION WITH RESPECT TO ANY ONE OR MORE OF THE FOREGOING.

9.6 Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is not intended to, and shall not, confer upon any other Person any rights or remedies hereunder, except (a) as set forth in or contemplated by the terms and provisions of Section 6.10, (b) prior to the Effective Time, for the right of holders of shares of the Company Common Stock to pursue claims for damages (including damages based on loss of the economic benefits of the transaction to Company Stockholders) and other relief (including equitable relief) for any breach of this Agreement by Parent or Merger Sub, whether or not this Agreement has been validly terminated pursuant to Article VIII, which right is hereby expressly acknowledged and agreed by Parent and Merger Sub, and (c) from and after the Effective Time, the rights of holders of shares of the Company Common Stock and other Company Securities to receive the consideration set forth in Article II. The rights granted pursuant to clause (b) of this Section 9.6 shall only be enforceable on behalf of Company Stockholders by the Company in its sole and absolute discretion, as agent for the Company Stockholders, it being understood and agreed that any and all interests in such claims shall attach to such shares of the Company Common Stock and subsequently transfer therewith and, consequently, any damages, settlements or other amounts recovered or received by the Company with respect to such claims (net of expenses incurred by the Company in connection therewith) may, in the Company’s sole and absolute discretion, be (A) distributed, in whole or in part, by the Company to the holders of shares of Company Common Stock of record as of any date determined by the Company or (B) retained by the Company for the use and benefit of the Company on behalf of its stockholders in any manner the Company deems fit.

9.8 Remedies.

(a) Except as otherwise provided herein, any and all remedies herein expressly conferred upon a party shall be deemed cumulative with and not exclusive of any other remedy conferred hereby, or by law or equity upon such party, and the exercise by a party of any one remedy shall not preclude the exercise of any other remedy.

(b) The parties hereto hereby agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any provision of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with its specific terms or were otherwise breached, and that money damages or other legal remedies would not be an adequate remedy for any such damages. Accordingly, the parties hereto
