respect to the Company to be exempt under Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act.
(e) All Company Option Plans shall terminate as of the Effective Time and the provisions in
any Company Option Plans or any other plan providing for the issuance, transfer or grant of any
capital stock of the Company or any interest in respect of any capital stock of the Company shall
be deleted as of the Effective Time, and the Company shall take such action as is necessary to
ensure that following the Effective Time no holder of a Company Stock Option or any participant in
any Company Option Plans or any other plan shall have any right to acquire any capital stock of the
Company, the Interim Surviving Corporation or the Final Surviving Entity, or any interest in
respect of any capital stock of the Company, the Interim Surviving Corporation or the Final
Surviving Entity.
(f) Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall deliver to the holders of Company Stock
Options notices, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Parent, setting forth such holders’
rights pursuant to this Agreement. The holders of Company Stock Options will then exercise the
rights as set forth in such notice.
Section 1.8 Appraisal Shares. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the
contrary, any Appraisal Shares shall not be converted into the right to receive the Merger
Consideration as provided in Section 1.4, but instead such holders of Appraisal Shares
shall be entitled to payment of the fair value of such shares in accordance with the provisions of
Section
6
262. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any such holder shall fail to perfect or otherwise
shall waive, withdraw or lose the right to appraisal under Section 262 or a court of competent
jurisdiction shall determine that such holder is not entitled to the relief provided by Section
262, then the right of such holder to be paid the fair value of such holder’s Appraisal Shares
under Section 262 shall cease and such Appraisal Shares shall be deemed to have been converted at
the Effective Time into, and shall have become, the right to receive the Merger Consideration as
provided in Section 1.4 without interest. The Company shall serve prompt notice to Parent
of any demands for appraisal of any of the Common Shares, attempted withdrawals of such demands and
any other instruments served pursuant to the DGCL received by the Company, and Parent shall have
the right to participate in and direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such
demands. The Company shall not, without the prior written consent of Parent, or as otherwise
required under the DGCL, voluntarily make any payment with respect to, or settle or offer to
settle, any such demands, or agree to do or commit to do any of the foregoing.
Section 1.9 Adjustments to Prevent Dilution. Notwithstanding the restrictions
contained in Section 5.1, in the event that the Company changes the number of Common
Shares, or securities convertible or exchangeable into or exercisable for Common Shares, issued and
outstanding prior to the Effective Time as a result of a reclassification, stock split (including a
reverse stock split), stock dividend or distribution, recapitalization, merger, subdivision, issuer
tender or exchange offer, or other similar transaction, the Merger Consideration shall be
proportionately adjusted to reflect such change.
Section 1.10 Fractional Shares. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Agreement, each holder of Common Shares exchanged pursuant to the Merger who would otherwise have
been entitled to receive a fraction of a share of Parent Common Stock (after taking into account
all shares delivered by such holder and aggregating all fractional shares of Parent Common Stock to
be received by such holder) shall receive, in lieu thereof, cash (without interest) in an amount
equal to such fractional part of a share of Parent Common Stock multiplied by the Parent Average
Stock Price. No such holder will be entitled to dividends, voting rights, or any other rights as a
stockholder in respect to any fractional shares.
Section 1.11 Tax Consequences. It is intended by the parties hereto that, for United
States federal income tax purposes, the Integrated Merger is intended to be part of an integrated
plan and is intended to qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the
Code.
ARTICLE II
EXCHANGE OF CERTIFICATES
Section 2.1 Exchange Agent. The parties agree that Mellon Investor Services shall act
as the Exchange Agent (the “Exchange Agent”). In the event that Mellon Investor Services
is unwilling or unable to act as the Exchange Agent, Parent shall select another institution
reasonably satisfactory to the Company to act as the Exchange Agent. At or prior to the Effective
Time, Parent shall enter into an agreement with the Exchange Agent which shall provide that Parent
shall deposit with the Exchange Agent on a timely basis, for exchange in accordance with this
Article II, the shares of Parent Common Stock issuable pursuant to this
7
Agreement and cash in an amount sufficient to permit payment (a) of the aggregate Cash Merger
Consideration and (b) cash in lieu of fractional shares pursuant to Section 1.10 (such cash
and shares of Parent Common Stock being hereinafter referred to as the “Exchange Fund”),
payable pursuant to Section 1.4 in exchange for outstanding Common Shares. Any income from
investment of the Exchange Fund, which investment shall be made in accordance with the instructions
of Parent, will be payable solely to Parent.
Section 2.2 Exchange Procedures.
(a) As soon as practicable and not later than five (5) Business Days after the Effective Time,
the Exchange Agent shall mail to each holder of record of a Certificate or Certificates that,
immediately prior to the Effective Time, represented outstanding Common Shares subsequently
converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration, as set forth in Section 1.4:
(i) a letter of transmittal (a “Letter of Transmittal”) that (A) shall specify that
delivery shall be effected and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass only upon
proper delivery of the Certificates to the Exchange Agent (or an affidavit of loss in lieu thereof,
together with any bond or indemnity agreement, as contemplated by Section 2.6) and (B)
shall be in such form and have such other provisions as the Interim Surviving Corporation or Parent
may reasonably specify; and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the
Certificates in exchange for the Merger Consideration.
(b) Upon surrender of a Certificate for cancellation to the Exchange Agent, together with a
Letter of Transmittal, duly completed and executed, and any other documents reasonably required by
the Exchange Agent, Parent or the Interim Surviving Corporation, (i) the holder of such Certificate
shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor the number of shares of Parent Common Stock, the
portion of the Cash Merger Consideration, and the CVRs to which such holder is entitled and (ii)
the Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be canceled. No interest will be paid or accrued on
the cash payable upon surrender of the Certificates. Until surrendered as contemplated by this
Section 2.2, each such Certificate shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to
represent only the right to receive upon such surrender the applicable Merger Consideration.
(c) In the event of a transfer of ownership of Common Shares that is not registered in the
transfer records of the Company, the appropriate amount of the Merger Consideration may be paid to
a transferee if the Certificate representing such Common Shares is presented to the Exchange Agent
properly endorsed or accompanied by appropriate stock powers and otherwise in proper form for
transfer and accompanied by all documents reasonably required by the Exchange Agent, Parent or the
Interim Surviving Corporation to evidence and effect such transfer and to evidence that any
applicable Taxes have been paid.
(d) No dividends or other distributions, if any, declared or made after the Effective Time
with respect to Parent Common Stock with a record date after the Effective Time will be paid to the
holder of any unsurrendered Certificate with respect to the shares of Stock Merger Consideration to
be issued in exchange therefor until the holder of record of such Certificate shall surrender such
Certificate in accordance with this Section 2.2. Subject to applicable Law, following
surrender of any such Certificate, there shall be paid to the record holder of the certificates
representing whole shares of the Stock Merger Consideration issued in
8
exchange therefor, without interest, at the time of such surrender, the amount of dividends or
other distributions, if any, with a record date after the Effective Time theretofore paid with
respect to such whole shares of the Stock Merger Consideration. No interest shall be payable on
any cash deliverable upon the exchange of any Common Shares for Cash Merger Consideration.
Section 2.3 No Further Ownership Rights. All Merger Consideration paid upon the
surrender for exchange of the Certificates representing Common Shares in accordance with the terms
hereof shall be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such
Common Shares and, after the Effective Time, there shall be no further registration of transfers on
the transfer books of the Interim Surviving Corporation of the Common Shares that were outstanding
immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates are presented
to the Interim Surviving Corporation or the Final Surviving Entity, for any reason, they shall be
canceled and exchanged as provided in this Article II, subject to applicable Law in the
case of Appraisal Shares.
Section 2.4 Termination of Exchange Fund. Any portion of the Exchange Fund (including
any interest and other income received with respect thereto) that remains undistributed to the
former Company Stockholders on the first anniversary of the Effective Time shall be delivered to
the Final Surviving Entity upon demand, and any former holder of Common Shares who has not
theretofore received any applicable Merger Consideration to which such Company Stockholder is
entitled under this Article II shall thereafter look only to the Final Surviving Entity
(subject to abandoned property, escheat or other similar Laws) for payment of claims with respect
thereto and only as a general creditor thereof.
Section 2.5 No Liability. None of Parent, Merger Sub, the Interim Surviving
Corporation or the Final Surviving Entity shall be liable to any holder of Common Shares for any
part of the Merger Consideration delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable
abandoned property, escheat or similar Law. Any amounts remaining unclaimed by holders of any such
Common Shares two years after the Effective Time or at such earlier date as is immediately prior to
the time at which such amounts would otherwise escheat to, or become property of, any Governmental
Entity shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law or Order, become the property of the Final
Surviving Entity free and clear of any claims or interest of any such holders or their successors,
assigns or personal representatives previously entitled thereto.
Section 2.6 Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. If any Certificate shall have
been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming
such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by and at the discretion of
Parent, the Interim Surviving Corporation or the Final Surviving Entity, the posting by such Person
of a bond in such reasonable amount as Parent, the Interim Surviving Corporation or the Final
Surviving Entity may direct, or the execution and delivery by such Person of an indemnity agreement
in such form as Parent, the Interim Surviving Corporation or the Final Surviving Entity may direct,
in each case as indemnity against any claim that may be made against Parent, the Interim Surviving
Corporation or the Final Surviving Entity with respect to such Certificate, the Exchange Agent
shall issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate the appropriate amount of
the Merger Consideration.
9
Section 2.7 Withholding of Tax. Parent, the Interim Surviving Corporation, the
Final Surviving Entity, any Affiliate thereof or the Exchange Agent shall be entitled to deduct and
withhold from the Merger Consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder
of Common Shares such amount as Parent, the Interim Surviving Corporation, the Final Surviving
Entity, any Affiliate thereof or the Exchange Agent is required to deduct and withhold with respect
to the making of such payment under the Code or any provision of state, local or foreign Tax Law.
To the extent that amounts are so withheld by Parent, the Interim Surviving Corporation, the Final
Surviving Entity, any Affiliate thereof or the Exchange Agent, such withheld amounts shall be (a)
paid over to the applicable Governmental Entity in accordance with applicable Law or Order and (b)
treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the former holder of a
Certificate in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.

comply, as the case may be, in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the
Securities Act, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, or the Exchange Act, and the
rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, as applicable, each as in effect on the date so
filed. None of the Company Reports (including any financial statements or schedules included or
incorporated by reference therein) contained or will contain, as the case may be, when filed (and,
in the case of registration statements and proxy statements, on the dates of effectiveness and the
dates of mailing, respectively) any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or omits or will
omit, as the case may be, to state a material fact required to be stated or incorporated by
reference therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances
under which they were or are made, not misleading. No executive officer of the Company has failed
in any respect to make the certifications required of him or her under Section 302, 404 or 906 of
the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act with respect to any Company Report. The Company has no outstanding (nor has
arranged or modified since the enactment of the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act) “extensions of credit” (within
the meaning of Section 402 of the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act) to any directors or executive officers (as
14
defined in Rule 3b-7 under the Exchange Act) of the Company. Between December 31, 2009 and
the date hereof, no event has occurred (other than the execution of this Agreement) that requires
or will require the Company to file a Form 8-K with the SEC that has not been filed prior to the
date hereof by the Company.
(b) The Company has made available (including via the SEC’s XXXXX system, as applicable) to
Parent all of the Company Financial Statements. All of the Company Financial Statements complied
as to form in all material respects with the published rules and regulations of the SEC with
respect thereto as of their respective dates, have been prepared in accordance with GAAP applied on
a consistent basis throughout the periods involved (except as may be indicated in the notes
thereto) and fairly present in all material respects the consolidated financial position of the
Company at the respective dates thereof and the consolidated results of its operations and changes
in cash flows for the periods indicated (subject, in the case of unaudited statements, to normal
year-end audit adjustments consistent with GAAP).
(c) The Company has implemented and maintains a system of internal accounting controls
sufficient to provide reasonable assurances (i) regarding the reliability of financial reporting
and the preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP (ii) that receipts and
expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and
the Company Board of Directors, and (iii) regarding prevention or timely detection of the
unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material
effect on the Company’s financial statements. The Company has (i) implemented and maintains
disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act) to ensure
that information relating to the Company that is required to be disclosed in any Company Report, is
reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC, and that all such
information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management as appropriate to allow
timely decisions regarding required disclosure and to make the certifications of the principal
executive officer and principal financial officer (each as defined in Item 402(a)(3) of Regulation
S-K under the Exchange Act) of the Company required under the Exchange Act with respect to such
reports and (ii) disclosed, based on its most recent evaluation prior to the date hereof, to the
Company’s outside auditors and the audit committee of the Company Board of Directors (A) any
significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in the design or operation of internal controls
over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act) which are reasonably
likely to adversely affect the Company’s ability to record, process, summarize and report financial
information and (B) any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other employees
who have a significant role in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting. These
disclosures were made in writing by management to the Company’s auditors and the audit committee of
the Company’s Board of Directors and a copy has previously been made available to Parent. There is
no reason to believe that the Company’s outside auditors and its principal executive officer and
principal financial officer (each as defined in Item 402(a)(3) of Regulation S-K under the Exchange
Act) will not be able to give the certifications and attestations required for future reports filed
under the Exchange Act, pursuant to the rules and regulations adopted pursuant to Section 404 of
the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act, without qualification, when due.
(d) Since December 31, 2009, (i) to the Knowledge of the Company, no director, officer,

methodologies or methods of the Company or its internal accounting controls, including any material
complaint, allegation, assertion or claim that the Company has engaged in improper accounting or
auditing practices, and (ii) no attorney representing the Company, whether or not employed by the
Company, has reported evidence of a material violation of securities Laws, breach of fiduciary duty
or similar violation by the Company or any of its officers, directors, employees or agents to the

on the Company Financial Statements, other than (i) Liabilities incurred on behalf of the Company

corporate governance rules and regulations of Nasdaq.

venture, off balance sheet partnership or any similar contract (including any contract or

hand, and any unconsolidated Affiliate, including any structured finance, special purpose or
limited purpose entity or Person, on the other hand, or any “off balance sheet arrangements” (as
defined in Item 303(a) of Regulation S-K under the Exchange Act)), where the result, purpose or
intended effect of such contract is to avoid disclosure of any material transaction involving, or
material Liabilities of, the Company, in the Company Reports.
Section 3.8 Absence of Certain Changes or Events. Except as disclosed in the Company
Reports filed with the SEC prior to the date hereof or as contemplated by this Agreement, since

Section 3.14 Employee Benefit Plans.
(a) Section 3.14(a) of the Company Disclosure Letter sets forth each Employee Benefit
Plan that the Company maintains or to which the Company, or any ERISA Affiliate contributes or
sponsors. Each Employee Benefit Plan has been established, maintained and operated in material
compliance with the terms of such Employee Benefit Plan and the applicable requirements of ERISA,
the Code, and applicable Law. All employer contributions and employee salary reduction
contributions that are due have been made to each such Employee Benefit Plan that is an “employee
pension benefit plan” (as defined in Section 3(2) of ERISA). All premiums or other payments that
are due have been paid with respect to each such Employee Benefit Plan that is an “employee welfare
benefit plan,” (as defined in Section 3(1) of ERISA). To the Knowledge of the Company, each
Employee Benefit Plan, including any material amendments thereto, that is capable of approval by,
or registration or qualification for special Tax status with, the appropriate taxation, social
security or supervisory authorities in the relevant country, state, territory or the like has
received such approval (or there remains a period of time in which to obtain such approval
retroactive to the date of any material amendment that has not previously received such approval)
and no event has occurred which would be reasonably likely to result in the revocation of such
approval or the imposition of material sanctions by such authorities. Without in any way limiting
the foregoing sentence, each such Employee Benefit Plan that is intended to meet the requirements
of a “qualified plan” under Code Section 401(a) has received a determination letter from the IRS
(or may rely on an opinion letter issued by the IRS with respect to a standardized prototype plan
adopted in accordance with the requirements for such reliance) to the effect that it meets the
requirements of Code Section 401(a) and, as of the date hereof, no such determination letter has
been revoked nor, to the Knowledge of the Company, has any such revocation been threatened. No
action, suit, claim, hearing, arbitration or other proceeding has been brought, or to the Knowledge
of the Company is threatened, against or with respect to any Employee Benefit Plan, including any
audit or inquiry by the IRS or
21
United States Department of Labor, and no event has occurred and there currently exists no
condition or set of circumstances in connection with which the Company would reasonably be expected

Section 4.8 Parent Reports; Parent Financial Statements.
(a) Parent has timely filed all Parent Reports required to be filed with the SEC on or prior
to the date hereof and will timely file all Parent Reports required to be filed with the SEC after
the date hereof and prior to the Effective Time. Each Parent Report has complied, or will comply
as the case may be, in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Securities
Act, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, or the Exchange Act, and the rules and
regulations promulgated thereunder, as applicable, each as in effect on the date so filed. None of
the Parent Reports (including any financial statements or schedules included or incorporated by
reference therein) contained or will contain, as the case may be, when filed (and, in the case of
registration statement and proxy statements, on the dates of effectiveness and the dates of
mailing, respectively) any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or omits or will omit, as
the case may be, to state a material fact required to be stated or incorporated by reference
therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which
they were or are made, not misleading. No executive officer of Parent has failed in any respect to
make the certifications required of him or her under Section 302, 404 or 906 of the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx
Act with respect to any Parent Report. Between December 31, 2009 and the date hereof, no event has
occurred (other than the execution of this Agreement) that requires or will require Parent to file
a Form 8-K with the SEC that has not been filed prior to the date hereof by Parent.
(b) Parent has made available (including via the SEC’s XXXXX system, as applicable) to the
Company all of the Parent Financial Statements. All of the Parent Financial Statements have been
prepared in accordance with GAAP applied on a consistent basis throughout the periods involved
(except as may be indicated in the notes thereto) and fairly present in all material respects the
consolidated financial position of Parent at the respective dates thereof and the consolidated
results of its operations and changes in cash flows for the periods indicated (subject, in the case
of unaudited statements, to normal year-end audit adjustments consistent with GAAP).
(c) Parent has implemented and maintains a system of internal accounting controls sufficient
to provide reasonable assurances regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the
preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP. Parent (i) has implemented and
maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act) to
ensure that information relating to Parent that is required to be disclosed in the reports Parent
files or submits under the Exchange Act, is made known to the chief executive officer and the chief
financial officer of Parent, and (ii) has disclosed, based on its most recent evaluation prior to
the date hereof, to Parent’s outside auditors and the audit committee of the Parent Board of
Directors (A) any significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in the design or operation of
internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act) which
are reasonably likely to adversely affect Parent’s ability to record, process, summarize and report
financial information and (B) any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other
employees who have a significant role in Parent’s internal controls over financial reporting.
These disclosures were made in writing by management to Parent’s auditors and audit committee and a
copy has previously been made available to the Company. There is no reason to believe that
Parent’s outside auditors and its chief executive officer and chief financial officer will not be
able to give the certifications and attestations
34
required pursuant to the rules and regulations adopted pursuant to Section 404 of the
Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act, without qualification, when due.
(d) Since December 31, 2009, (i) to the Knowledge of Parent, no director, officer, employee,

accounting or auditing practices, procedures, methodologies or methods of Parent or their
respective internal accounting controls, including any material complaint, allegation, assertion or
claim that Parent has engaged in improper accounting or auditing practices, and (ii) no attorney
representing Parent, whether or not employed by Parent, has reported evidence of a material
violation of securities Laws, breach of fiduciary duty or similar violation by Parent or any of its
officers, directors, employees or agents to Parent Board of Directors or any committee thereof or
to any director or officer of Parent.
(e) There are no Liabilities of Parent of any kind whatsoever, whether or not accrued and
whether or not contingent or absolute, that are material to Parent and that are not set forth on
the Parent Financial Statements, other than (i) Liabilities incurred on behalf of Parent under this
Agreement and (ii) Liabilities incurred in the ordinary course of business consistent with past
practice since December 31, 2009, none of which would reasonably be expected to have a Parent
Material Adverse Effect.
(f) The Company is in compliance in all material respects with the applicable listing and
corporate governance rules and regulations of the NYSE.
Section 4.9 Absence of Certain Changes or Events. Except as disclosed in Parent
Reports filed with the SEC prior to the date hereof or as contemplated by this Agreement, since
December 31, 2009, Parent has conducted its business only in the ordinary course and consistent
with prior practice, and there has not been any Parent Material Adverse Effect.

correct and complete in all material respects. Each of Parent and its Subsidiaries has timely paid
all material Taxes required to have been paid by it, other than Taxes that are not yet due or that

asserted or assessed by a taxing authority against Parent which deficiency has not been paid or is
not being contested in good faith in appropriate proceedings.

with all information reporting and backup withholding provisions of applicable Law.
(e) No Tax Return of Parent or any of its Subsidiaries is under audit or examination by any
taxing authority, and no written (or, to the Knowledge of Parent, oral) notice of such an audit or
examination has been received by Parent or any of its Subsidiaries. No deficiencies for any Taxes
have been proposed, asserted or assessed against Parent or its Subsidiaries, and no requests for
waivers of the time to assess any such Taxes are pending. There are no outstanding waivers of any
limitation periods or agreements providing for an extension of time for the filing of any Tax
Return, the assessment or collection thereof by any relevant taxing authority or the payment of any
Tax by Parent or any of its Subsidiaries. No other procedure, proceeding or contest of any refund
or deficiency in respect of Taxes is pending in or on appeal from any Governmental Entity.
(f) The unpaid Taxes of Parent and its Subsidiaries, if any, did not, as of December 31, 2009,
exceed the reserve for Tax Liability (rather than any reserve for deferred Taxes established to
reflect timing differences between book and Tax income) set forth on the face of the balance sheet

Parent, nor any Subsidiary thereof, has incurred any Tax Liability since December 31, 2009 other

SEC the Registration Statement in which the Proxy Statement will be included as a prospectus. Each
of Parent and the Company shall provide promptly to the other such information concerning its
business affairs and financial statements as, in the reasonable
42
judgment of the providing party or
its counsel, may be required or appropriate for inclusion in the Proxy Statement and the
Registration Statement pursuant to this Section 5.5, or in any amendments or supplements
thereto, and shall cause its counsel and auditors to cooperate with the other’s counsel and
auditors in the preparation of the Proxy Statement and the Registration Statement. Each of Parent
and the Company will respond to any comments from the SEC, and will use all reasonable efforts to
cause the Registration Statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act as promptly as
practicable (but in no event prior to such time as all waiting periods (and any extensions thereof)
under the HSR Act and other applicable Laws relating to the transactions contemplated hereby expire
or terminate early and any objections raised by any Governmental Entity with respect to the
transactions contemplated hereby have been resolved), and to keep the Registration Statement
effective as long as is necessary to consummate the Mergers and the transactions contemplated
hereby. Parent shall furnish all information concerning it and the holders of its capital stock as
the Company may reasonably request in connection with the preparation of the Proxy Statement. Each
of Parent and the Company will notify the other promptly upon the receipt of any comments from the
SEC or its staff in connection with the filing of, or amendments or supplements to, the
Registration Statement and/or the Proxy Statement. Parent shall promptly inform the Company if, at
any time prior to the Effective Time, any event or circumstance relating to Parent, any Subsidiary
of Parent or Merger Sub or any of their respective officers or directors, is discovered by Parent
that should be set forth in an amendment or a supplement to the Proxy Statement or the Registration
Statement. The Company shall promptly inform Parent if, at any time prior to the Effective Time,
any event or circumstance relating to the Company, or any of its officers or directors, is
discovered by the Company that should be set forth in an amendment or a supplement to the Proxy
Statement or the Registration Statement. Except in connection with the withdrawal or modification
by the Company Board of Directors of its approvals or recommendations of the Merger or the
transactions contemplated hereby and other than pursuant to Rule 425 of the Securities Act with
respect to releases made in compliance with Section 5.8 of this Agreement, no amendment or
supplement to the Proxy Statement or the Registration Statement, nor any response to any comments
or inquiry from the SEC with respect to such filings, will be made by the Company or Parent without
the approval of the other party, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or
delayed (it being understood that it shall be unreasonable to withhold consent with respect to any
amendment or supplement to the Proxy Statement or Registration Statement to the extent such
amendment or supplement is required to be included therein so that the Proxy Statement or
Registration Statement will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein,
in the light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading as may be required by
Rule 10b-5 or Rule 14a-9 under the Exchange Act or Section 11 or Section 12 of the Securities Act).
The Company and Parent each will advise the other promptly after it receives notice of the time
when the Registration Statement has become effective or any supplement or amendment has been filed,
of the issuance of any stop order, the suspension of the qualification of the Parent Common Stock
issuable in connection with the Merger for offering or sale in any jurisdiction, or any request by
the SEC for amendment of the Proxy Statement or the Registration Statement or comments thereon and
responses thereto or requests by the SEC for additional information. Each of the parties hereto
shall cause the Proxy Statement and the Registration Statement to comply as to form and substance
as to such party in
43
all material respects with the applicable requirements of (i) the Exchange Act,
(ii) the Securities Act, and (iii) the rules and regulations of Nasdaq and the NYSE.
Section 5.6 Company Stockholders Meeting. After the Registration Statement is
declared effective and the Proxy Statement is cleared by the SEC, the Company, acting through the
Company Board of Directors, shall take all actions in accordance with applicable Law, the Company
Certificate of Incorporation, the Company By-laws and the rules of Nasdaq to promptly and duly
call, give notice of, convene and hold as promptly as practicable the Company Stockholders Meeting
for the sole purpose of considering and voting upon the adoption of the “agreement of merger” (as
such term is used in Section 251 of the DGCL) contained in this Agreement. Subject to Section
5.7(c), to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, (i) the Company Board of Directors
shall recommend adoption of the “agreement of merger” (as such term is used in Section 251 of the
DGCL) contained in this Agreement and approval of the Merger by the Company Stockholders and
include such recommendation in the Proxy Statement and (ii) neither the Company Board of Directors
nor any committee thereof shall withdraw or modify, or propose or resolve to withdraw or modify in
a manner adverse to Parent, the recommendation of the Company Board of Directors that the Company
Stockholders vote in favor of the adoption of the “agreement of merger” (as such term is used in
Section 251 of the DGCL) contained in this Agreement and approval of the Merger. Unless this
Agreement has been duly terminated in accordance with the terms herein (including payment of any
termination fees payable under Article VII), the Company shall, subject to the right of the Company
Board of Directors to modify its recommendation in a manner adverse to Parent under certain
circumstances as specified in Section 5.7(c), take all lawful action to solicit from the
Company Stockholders proxies in favor of the proposal to adopt the “agreement of merger” (as such
term is used in Section 251 of the DGCL) contained in this Agreement and approve the Merger and
shall take all other action necessary or advisable to secure the vote or consent of the Company
Stockholders that is required by the rules of Nasdaq or the DGCL. The Company shall keep Parent
updated with respect to proxy solicitation results as reasonably requested by Parent.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Company, after
consultation with Parent, may adjourn or postpone the Company Stockholders Meeting to the extent
necessary to ensure that any legally required supplement or amendment to the Proxy Statement is
provided to the Company Stockholders or, if as of the time for which the Company Stockholders
Meeting is originally scheduled (as set forth in the Proxy Statement), there are insufficient
shares of Company Common Stock represented (either in person or by proxy) to constitute a quorum
necessary to conduct the business of the Company Stockholders Meeting.
Section 5.7 No Solicitation of Transactions.
(a) The Company shall, and shall cause its Affiliates, Representatives and any other agents to
immediately cease any discussions, negotiations or communications with any party or parties with
respect to any Competing Transaction. The Company shall notify in writing each party with which the
Company has, in the last twelve months, held any discussions, negotiations or communications with
respect to a Competing Transaction and that remain in possession of non-public information in
respect of the Company that was furnished by or on behalf of the Company and its Affiliates in
connection with such discussions to return or destroy all such information in accordance with and
subject to the terms of the applicable nondisclosure agreement between the Company and such party.
44
(b) The Company shall not, nor shall it authorize or permit any Affiliate or Representative of
the Company to, (i) solicit, initiate or intentionally encourage the submission of, any Competing
Transaction or (ii) participate in any discussions or negotiations regarding, or furnish to any
Third Party any information or data with respect to or provide access to the properties, offices,
books, records, officers, directors or employees of, or take any other action to knowingly
facilitate, induce or encourage the making of any proposal that constitutes, or may reasonably be
expected to lead to, any Competing Transaction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, prior to
obtaining the Company Required Vote, (i) the Company has complied with this Section 5.7,
and (ii) the Company Board of Directors reasonably determines in good faith that a Competing
Transaction constitutes or would reasonably be expected to lead to a Superior Competing
Transaction, then, to the extent required by the fiduciary obligations of the Company Board of
Directors, as determined in good faith by a majority thereof after consultation with the Company’s
outside counsel, the Company may, subject to the Company’s providing prior written notice to Parent
of its decision to take such action and compliance by the Company with Section 5.7(d),
furnish information with respect to the Company to, and participate in discussions and negotiations
directly or through its Representatives with, such Third Party, subject to a confidentiality
agreement not materially less favorable to the Company than the Confidentiality Agreement.
(c) Neither the Company Board of Directors nor any committee thereof shall (i) withdraw or
modify, or propose or resolve to withdraw or modify, in a manner adverse to Parent or Merger Sub,
the approval and recommendation by the Company Board of Directors of the Merger, this Agreement and
the “agreement of merger” (as such term is used in Section 251 of the DGCL) contained herein, the
Transaction Documents, the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and the actions taken in
connection herewith and therewith, (ii) approve or recommend, or propose or resolve to approve or
recommend, any Competing Transaction, (iii) approve or recommend, or propose or resolve to approve
or recommend, or execute or enter into, any Acquisition Agreement, (iv) approve or recommend, or
propose or resolve to approve or recommend, or execute or enter into, any written agreement
requiring it to abandon, terminate or fail to consummate the Merger, this Agreement, any
Transaction Document or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, (v) take any action
necessary to render the provisions of any Antitakeover Law inapplicable to any Competing
Transaction, or (vi) propose or agree to do any of the foregoing constituting or related to, or
that is intended to lead to, any Competing Transaction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, prior to
obtaining the Company Required Vote, in response to a Superior Competing Transaction that was not
solicited, initiated, intentionally encouraged, participated in or otherwise facilitated by the
Company in breach of Section 5.7(b), the Company Board of Directors may, if it determines
in good faith (after consultation with the Company’s outside legal counsel) that the failure to do
so would result in a breach of the fiduciary duties of the Company Board of Directors to the
Company Stockholders under applicable Law or Order, (1) modify, or propose or resolve to modify, in
a manner adverse to Parent or Merger Sub, the approvals and recommendations of the Company Board of
Directors of the Merger, or the transactions contemplated hereby or by the Transaction Documents,
or (2) terminate the Agreement in accordance with Section 7.1(d).
(d) The Company shall notify Parent promptly (but in no event later than thirty-six (36)
hours) after it obtains Knowledge of the receipt by the Company (or any of its Representatives) of
any Competing Transaction, or of any inquiry that would reasonably be
45
expected to lead to a
Competing Transaction. In such notice, the Company shall identify the Third Party making, and
details of the material terms and conditions of, any such Competing Transaction. The Company shall
keep Parent fully informed, on a current basis, of the status and material terms of any such
Competing Transaction, including any material amendments or proposed amendments as to price and
other material terms thereof. The Company shall provide Parent with at least forty-eight (48) hours
prior notice of any meeting of the Company Board of Directors (or such lesser notice as is provided
to the members of the Company Board of Directors) at which the Company Board of Directors is
reasonably expected to consider any Competing Transaction. The Company shall promptly provide
Parent with a list of any non-public information concerning the Company’s business, present or
future performance, financial condition or results of operations, provided in connection with any
such Competing Transaction, and, to the extent such information has not been previously provided to
Parent, copies of such information
(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 5.7(d), the Company
Board of Directors shall prior to recommending, approving or consummating a Superior Competing
Transaction, give Parent the opportunity to meet with the Company and its outside counsel and
Company Financial Advisor for the purpose of enabling Parent, on the one hand, and the Company, on
the other hand, to negotiate in good faith to make such adjustments in the terms and conditions of
this Agreement so that such Competing Transaction ceases to constitute a Superior Competing
Transaction.
(f) Nothing contained in this Section 5.7 or any other provision hereof shall prohibit
the Company or the Company Board of Directors from taking and disclosing to the Company
Stockholders pursuant to Rules 14d-9 and 14e-2 promulgated under the Exchange Act a position with
respect to a tender or exchange offer by a Third Party that is consistent with its obligations
hereunder; provided, however, that neither the Company nor the Company Board of
Directors may either, except as provided by Section 5.7(c), (i) modify, or propose publicly
to modify, in a manner adverse to Parent and Merger Sub, the approvals or recommendations of the
Company Board of Directors of the Merger or this Agreement and the “agreement of merger” (as such
term is used in Section 251 of the DGCL) contained herein, or (ii) approve or recommend a Competing
Transaction, or propose publicly to approve or recommend a Competing Transaction.
(g) Nothing in this Section 5.7 shall permit the Company to terminate this Agreement
(except as expressly provided in Article VII).
Section 5.8 Public Announcements. The Company and Parent shall consult with each
other before issuing any press release or otherwise making any public statements with respect to
this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents and shall not
issue any such press release or make any such public statement without the prior consent of the
other party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided,
however, that a party may, without the prior consent of the other party, issue such press
release or make such public statement as may be required by Law or Order or the applicable rules of
Nasdaq or NYSE, as applicable, or any listing agreement if it has used its commercially reasonable
efforts to consult with the other party and to obtain such party’s consent but has been unable to
do so prior to the time such press release or public statement is so required to be issued or made.
46
Section 5.9 Litigation. Each of Parent, Merger Sub, the LLC and the Company agrees
to use its commercially reasonable efforts to defend any lawsuits or other legal proceedings,
whether judicial or administrative, challenging, or seeking damages or other relief as a result of,
the Merger, this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, including
seeking to have any Order adversely affecting the ability of the parties to consummate the
transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents entered by any court or other Governmental
Entity promptly vacated or reversed.
Section 5.10 Employee Benefit Matters.
(a) From and after the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to honor
and provide for payment of all accrued obligations and benefits existing as of the Effective Time
under all Company Benefit Plans and set forth, and identified as such, in the Company Disclosure
Letter (including, without limitation, employment or severance agreements between the Company and
Persons who are or had been of the Company at or prior to the Effective Time), all in accordance
with their respective terms and shall provide the employees of the Company who remain employed
immediately after the Effective Time with types and levels of compensation and benefits that are
commensurate in all material respects with the compensation and benefits provided to similarly
situated employees of Parent.
(b) As soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time, Parent shall transfer all
eligible assets and Liabilities from the defined contribution retirement plan that Company
maintained immediately prior to the Effective Time, to a qualified defined contribution retirement
plan maintained by Parent, with respect to the Company Employees in connection with the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Any such transfer shall be in an amount sufficient to
satisfy Section 414(l) of the Code.
(c) With respect to any Parent Employee Benefit Plan in which any Company Employees will
participate effective as of the Effective Time, Parent shall, or shall cause the Interim Surviving
Corporation or the Final Surviving Entity, as the case may be, to, recognize all service of the
Company Employees with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, as the case may be, for vesting and
eligibility purposes (but not for (i) purposes of early retirement subsidies under any Parent
Employee Benefit Plan that is a defined benefit pension plan or (ii) benefit accrual purposes,
except for vacation, if applicable) in any Parent Employee Benefit Plan in which such Company
Employees may be eligible to participate after the Effective Time; provided, that, such service
shall not be recognized to the extent that (x) such recognition would result in a duplication of
benefits or (y) such service was not recognized under the corresponding Company Benefit Plan. All
eligibility waiting periods and evidence of insurability requirements under any Parent Benefit Plan
that is a group health plan shall be waived with respect to such Company Employees and their
eligible dependents, in each case, to the same extent as service with the Company was taken into
account under the comparable Company Benefit Plan, and credit shall be provided for any
co-payments, deductibles and offsets (or similar payments) made under Company Benefit Plans for the
applicable plan year prior to the Effective Time for purposes of satisfying any applicable
deductible, out-of-pocket or similar requirements under any Parent Benefit Plans in which they
become eligible to participate after the Effective Time.
47
(d) This Section 5.10 shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of each of
the parties to this Agreement, and nothing in this Section 5.10, express or implied, is
intended to confer upon any other Person any rights or remedies of any nature whatsoever under or
by reason of this Section 5.10. Nothing contained herein, express or implied (i) shall be
construed to establish, amend or modify any benefit plan, program, agreement or arrangement or (ii)
shall alter or limit the ability of the Final Surviving Entity, the Interim Surviving Corporation,
Parent or any of their respective Affiliates to amend, modify or terminate any benefit plan,
program, agreement or arrangement at any time assumed, established, sponsored or maintained by any
of them. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the terms set forth in this Section
5.10 shall not create any right in any Company Employee or any other Person to any continued
employment with the Final Surviving Entity, the Interim Surviving Corporation, Parent or any of
their respective Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, from
and after the Effective Time, the Interim Surviving Corporation or the Final Surviving Entity, as
the case may be, will have sole discretion over the hiring, promotion, retention, firing and other
terms and conditions of the employment of the employees of the Interim Surviving Corporation or the
Final Surviving Entity, as applicable.
(e) With respect to matters described in this Section 5.10, the Company will not send
any written notices or other written communication materials to Company Employees without the prior
written consent of Parent.
Section 5.11 Directors’ and Officers’ Indemnification and Insurance.
(a) From and after the Effective Time, the Interim Surviving Corporation, and from and after
the LLC Effective Time, the Final Surviving Entity, shall indemnify and hold harmless all past and
present officers and directors of the Company to the same extent and in the same manner such
persons are indemnified as of the date of this Agreement by the Company pursuant to any
indemnification agreements between the Company and its directors and officers as of the date
hereof, and, to the extent applicable, the DGCL, the LLC Act, the Company Certificate of
Incorporation, the Company By-laws, the Certificate of Formation and the Limited Liability Company
Agreement of the Final Surviving Entity for acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the
Effective Time or the LLC Effective Time, as the case may be, and the Parent shall guarantee such
performance by the Interim Surviving Corporation and the Final Surviving Entity. The Certificate
of Incorporation and the By-laws of the Interim Surviving Corporation, and the Certificate of
Formation and the Limited Liability Company Agreement of the Final Surviving Entity will contain
provisions with respect to exculpation and indemnification that are at least as favorable to the
indemnified parties as those contained in the Company Certificate of Incorporation and the Company
By-laws as in effect on the date hereof, which provisions will not be amended, repealed or
otherwise modified for a period of not less than six years from the Effective Time in any manner
that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of individuals who, immediately prior to the
Effective Time, were directors, officers, employees or agents of the Company, unless such a
modification is required by Law.
(b) For a period of six years from the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Interim
Surviving Corporation and the Final Surviving Entity, as the case may be, to maintain in effect (or
Parent may instead elect to maintain pursuant to Parent’s policy or policies) for the benefit of
the Company’s current directors and officers an insurance and indemnification policy
48
that provides
coverage for acts or omissions occurring prior to the Effective Time that is substantially
equivalent to the Company’s existing policy on terms with respect to coverage in the aggregate no
less favorable than those of such policy in effect on the date hereof, or, if substantially
equivalent insurance coverage is unavailable, the best available coverage; provided, however, that
in lieu of the foregoing, prior to the Effective Time, Parent may request that the Company obtain,
and upon such request the Company agrees to obtain, in consultation with Parent, “tail” insurance
policies as of the Effective Time with a claims period of six years from the Effective Time with at
least the same coverage and amounts and containing terms and conditions that are not less
advantageous to the Company’s current directors and officers.
(c) This Section 5.11 shall survive the consummation of the Merger, is intended to
benefit the Company, the Interim Surviving Corporation and each indemnified party, shall be binding
on all successors and assigns of the Interim Surviving Corporation and Parent, and shall be
enforceable by the indemnified parties. The provisions of this Section 5.11 are intended
to be for the benefit of, and will be enforceable by, each indemnified party, his or her heirs, and
his or her representatives and are in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other rights to
indemnification or contribution that any such Person may have by contract or otherwise.
Section 5.12 Exchange Matters. Parent shall use its reasonable efforts to authorize
for listing on NYSE the shares of Parent Common Stock issuable pursuant to the Merger, and Parent
and the Company shall give all notices and make all filings with the NYSE and Nasdaq required in
connection with the transactions contemplated herein.
Section 5.13 Treatment as Reorganization. Each of the Company, Parent, Merger Sub and
LLC shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Integrated Merger to qualify as a
reorganization under Section 368(a) of the Code, including by not taking any action that such party
knows is reasonably likely to prevent such qualification. To the extent permitted by applicable
Tax laws, each of the Company, Parent, Merger Sub and LLC will report the Integrated Merger and the
other transactions contemplated by this Agreement in a manner consistent with the treatment of the
Integrated Merger as a reorganization under Section 368(a) of the Code.
Section 5.14 Section 16 Matters.
(a) Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall take all such steps as may be required to
cause any dispositions of Common Shares resulting from the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement by each individual who is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16(a) of the
Exchange Act with respect to the Company to be exempt under Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the
Exchange Act.
(b) Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall take all such steps as may be required to cause
any acquisitions of Parent Common Stock resulting from the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement by each individual who may be subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16(a) of
the Exchange Act with respect to Parent to be exempt under Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the
Exchange Act.
49
Section 5.15 Further Assurances.
(a) At and after the Effective Time, the officers and directors of the Interim Surviving
Corporation shall be authorized to execute and deliver, in the name and on behalf of the Company or
Merger Sub, any deeds, bills of sale, assignments or assurances and to take and do, in the name and
on behalf of the Company or Merger Sub, any other actions and things to vest, perfect or confirm of
record or otherwise in the Interim Surviving Corporation any and all right, title and interest in,
to and under any of the rights, properties or assets of the Company acquired or to be acquired by
the Interim Surviving Corporation as a result of, or in connection with, the Merger.
(b) At and after the LLC Effective Time, the officers and directors of the Final Surviving
Entity shall be authorized to execute and deliver, in the name and on behalf of the Interim
Surviving Corporation or the LLC, any deeds, bills of sale, assignments or assurances and to take
and do, in the name and on behalf of the Interim Surviving Corporation or the LLC, any other
actions and things to vest, perfect or confirm of record or otherwise in the Final Surviving Entity
any and all right, title and interest in, to and under any of the rights, properties or assets of
the Interim Surviving Corporation acquired or to be acquired by the Final Surviving Entity as a
result of, or in connection with, the LLC Merger.
