1.6 Surrender of Certificates; Stock Transfer Books.

(a) Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall designate a bank or trust company reasonably acceptable to the Company to act as agent (the “Paying Agent”) for the holders of Shares and Company Warrants to receive the funds to which holders of such shares and Company Warrants shall become entitled pursuant to Section 1.5 and Section 1.9. At the Effective Time (subject to Sections 1.8 and 1.9), Parent shall deposit, or shall cause to be deposited, with the Paying Agent cash sufficient to make payment of the cash consideration payable pursuant to Section 1.5 and Section 1.9 (with respect to Company Warrants with respect to which the holder of such Company Warrant has signed a warrant cancellation agreement that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time) (the “Payment Fund”). The Payment Fund shall not be used for any other purpose. The Payment Fund shall be invested by the Paying Agent as directed by the Surviving Corporation; provided, that such investments shall be in obligations of or guaranteed by the United States of America in commercial paper obligations rated A-1 or P-1 or better by Xxxxx’x Investors Service, Inc. or Standard & Poor's Corporation, respectively, in certificates of deposit, bank repurchase agreements or banker's acceptances of commercial banks with capital exceeding $1 billion, or in money market funds having a rating in the highest investment category granted by a recognized credit rating agency at the time of acquisition or a combination of the foregoing and, in any such case, no such instrument shall have a maturity exceeding three (3) months.

(b) Promptly after the Effective Time (but in no event later than five (5) business days thereafter), the Surviving Corporation shall cause to be mailed to each Person who was, at the Effective Time, a holder of record of the Shares entitled to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 1.5 a form of letter of transmittal (which shall be in reasonable and customary form and shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the certificates evidencing such Shares (the “Certificates”) shall pass, only upon proper delivery of the Certificates (or effective affidavits of loss in lieu thereof) to the Paying Agent) and instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates or Book-Entry Shares pursuant to such letter of transmittal. Upon surrender to the Paying Agent of Certificates (or effective affidavits of loss in lieu thereof) or Book-Entry Shares, together with such letter of transmittal, duly completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto, and such other documents as may be required pursuant to such instructions, the holder of such Certificates or Book-Entry Shares shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor the Merger Consideration for each Share formerly evidenced by such Certificates or Book-Entry Shares, and such Certificates and Book-Entry Shares shall then be canceled. No interest shall accrue or be paid on the Merger Consideration payable upon the surrender of any Certificates or Book-Entry Shares for the benefit of the holder thereof. If the payment of any Merger Consideration is to be made to a Person other than the Person in whose name the surrendered Certificates formerly evidencing the Share is registered on the stock transfer books of the Company, it shall be a condition of payment that the Certificate so surrendered shall be endorsed properly or otherwise be in proper form for transfer and that the Person requesting such payment shall have paid all transfer and other similar Taxes required by reason of the payment of the Merger

Consideration to a Person other than the registered holder of the Certificate surrendered, or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Surviving Corporation that such Taxes either have been paid or are not applicable. Payment of the applicable Merger Consideration with respect to Book-Entry Shares shall only be made to the Person in whose name such Book-Entry Shares are registered.

(c) At any time following twelve (12) months after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall be entitled to require the Paying Agent to deliver to it any funds which had been made available to the Paying Agent and not disbursed to holders of Certificates, Book-Entry Shares or Company Warrants (including, without limitation, all interest and other income received by the Paying Agent in respect of all funds made available to it), and, thereafter, such holders shall be entitled to look to the Surviving Corporation (subject to abandoned property, escheat and other similar Legal Requirements) only as general creditors thereof with respect to the Merger Consideration that may be payable upon due surrender of the Certificates or Book-Entry Shares held by them or consideration that may be payable in connection with any Company Warrants. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Surviving Corporation nor the Paying Agent shall be liable to any holder of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares for the Merger Consideration delivered in respect of such share or any holder of Company Warrants for the consideration delivered in respect of such Company Warrant to a public official pursuant to any abandoned property, escheat or other similar Legal Requirements. Any amounts remaining unclaimed by such holders at such time at which such amounts would otherwise escheat to or become property of any Governmental Body shall become, to the extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, the property of the Surviving Corporation or its designee, free and clear of all claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.

(d) At the close of business on the day of the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of the Company with respect to the Shares shall be closed and thereafter there shall be no further registration of transfers of Shares on the records of the Company. From and after the Effective Time, the holders of the Shares outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall cease to have any rights with respect to such shares except as otherwise provided herein or by applicable Legal Requirements.

(e) Each of the Surviving Corporation and Parent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold (or cause the Paying Agent to deduct and withhold) from the Merger Consideration payable to any holder of the Shares or any other consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as it is required by any Legal Requirement to deduct and withhold with respect to Taxes. Each such payor shall take all action that may be necessary to ensure that any such amounts so withheld are promptly and properly remitted to the appropriate Governmental Body. If any withholding obligation may be avoided by a payee providing information or documentation to the applicable payor, such payor shall request such information from such payee and use commercially reasonable efforts to avoid such withholding obligation. To the extent that amounts are so withheld, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of the Shares or other recipient of consideration hereunder in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.

(f) 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 the Surviving Corporation, the posting by such Person of a bond, in such reasonable amount as Parent may direct, as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate (which shall not exceed the Merger Consideration payable with respect to such Certificate), the Paying Agent will pay (less any amounts entitled to be deducted or withheld pursuant to Section 1.6(e)), in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate, the applicable Merger Consideration to be paid in respect of the Shares formerly represented by such Certificate, as contemplated by this Section 1.

1.7 Dissenters’ Rights. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Shares outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, and held by holders who have not approved the Merger and who have properly exercised dissenters’ rights in the time and manner provided in Sections 302A.471 and 302A.473 of the MBCA and, as of the Effective Time, have neither effectively withdrawn nor lost their dissenters’ rights under the MBCA (the “Dissenting Shares”), shall not be converted into the right to receive Merger Consideration, but shall, by virtue of the Merger, be entitled to only such consideration as shall be determined pursuant to Section 302A.473 of the MBCA; provided, that (i) if any such holder shall have failed to properly exercise dissenters’ rights with respect to the holder’s Shares, or after making a demand for dissenters’ rights subsequently delivers an effective withdrawal of such demand, or fails to establish the holder’s entitlement to dissenters’ rights as provided in Sections 302A.471 and 302A.473 of the MBCA, if so required or (ii) if a court shall determine that such holder is not entitled to receive payment for the holder’s Dissenting Shares or such holder shall otherwise lose his, her or its dissenters’ rights, then such holder’s Shares shall be deemed to have been converted as of the Effective Time into the right to receive the Merger Consideration (less any amounts entitled to be deducted or withheld pursuant to Section 1.6(e)), and such Shares shall not be deemed to be Dissenting Shares. The Company shall give Parent prompt notice of any written demands received by the Company for dissenters’ rights with respect to any Shares and any withdrawals of such demands, and Parent shall have the right to participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demands. The Company shall not, without the prior written consent of Parent or as required by applicable Legal Requirements, make any payment with respect to, or settle or offer to settle, any such demands.

1.8 Treatment of Restricted Stock, Company Options and Restricted Stock Units.

(a) Treatment of Restricted Stock. Each share of Restricted Stock that was issued has vested and become an outstanding Common Share.

(b) Treatment of Options. With respect to each Company Option issued under the 2007 Plan (a “2007 Option”) with respect to which the award agreement relating to such 2007 Option permits treatment in accordance with this Section 1.8(b) without consent of the holder of such 2007 Option, each other 2007 Option with respect to which the applicable holder of such 2007 Option has signed an option cancellation agreement, and each Company Option issued under the 2002 Plan (a “2002 Option”) with respect to which the applicable holder of such 2002 Option has signed an option cancellation agreement, in each case that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, (A) if the exercise price of such unvested or vested 2002 Option or 2007 Option is equal to

or greater than the Merger Consideration, such 2002 Option or 2007 Option, as applicable, shall terminate and be cancelled as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, without any consideration being payable in respect thereof, and have no further force or effect; and (B) if the exercise price of any vested or unvested 2002 Option or 2007 Option is less than the Merger Consideration, such 2002 Option or 2007 Option, as applicable, shall terminate and be cancelled as of immediately prior to the Effective Time in exchange for the right to receive, in accordance with this Section 1.8(b), a lump sum cash payment in the amount of the aggregate Option Consideration with respect to such 2002 Option or 2007 Option, as applicable. Following the Effective Time, no such 2002 Option or 2007 Option that was outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall remain outstanding and each former holder of any such 2002 Option or 2007 Option shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except to receive the consideration (if any) set forth in this Section 1.8(b) in exchange for such 2002 Option or 2007 Option, as applicable, in accordance with this Section 1.8(b). The consideration (if any) payable under this Section 1.8(b) to each former holder of any such 2002 Option or 2007 Option, as applicable, that was outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be paid by the Company to such former holder as soon as practicable following the Effective Time (but in any event not later than ten Business Days thereafter), subject to any required tax withholdings.

(c) Treatment of Restricted Stock Units. Each outstanding award of a right (other than awards of Company Options) entitling the holder thereof to Shares or cash equal to or based on the value of Shares (each, a “Restricted Stock Unit”) issued under the 2007 Plan that is outstanding or payable as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether vested or unvested, shall terminate and be cancelled as of immediately prior to the Effective Time in exchange for the right to receive a lump sum cash payment equal to the product of (i) the number of Shares subject to such Restricted Stock Unit; and (ii) the Merger Consideration, subject to any required tax withholdings. Following the Effective Time, no Restricted Stock Unit that was outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall remain outstanding and each former holder of any Restricted Stock Unit shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the consideration set forth in this Section 1.8(c) in exchange for such Restricted Stock Unit in accordance with this Section 1.8(c). The consideration payable under this Section 1.8(c) to each former holder of a Restricted Stock Unit that was outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be paid by the Company to such former holder as soon as practicable following the Effective Time (but in any event not later than ten Business Days thereafter), subject to any required tax withholdings.

1.9 Treatment of Company Warrants. With respect to each Company Warrant with respect to which the holder of such Company Warrant has signed a warrant cancellation agreement that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, (a) if the exercise price with respect to each Share issuable under such Company Warrant is equal to or greater than the Merger Consideration, such Company Warrant shall terminate and be cancelled as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, without any consideration being payable in respect thereof, and have no further force or effect; and (b) if the exercise price with respect to each Share issuable under such Company Warrant is less than the Merger Consideration, such Company Warrant shall terminate and be cancelled as of immediately prior to the Effective Time in exchange for the right to receive, in accordance with this Section 1.9, a lump sum cash payment in the amount of the aggregate Warrant Consideration with respect to such Company Warrant, payable by the Paying Agent pursuant to

Section 1.6. Following the Effective Time, no Company Warrant that was outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time with respect to which a warrant cancellation agreement has been signed shall remain outstanding and each former holder of any such Company Warrant shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except to receive the consideration (if any) set forth in this Section 1.9 in exchange for such Company Warrant in accordance with this Section 1.9. The consideration (if any) payable under this Section 1.9 to each former holder of any Company Warrant that was outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be paid by the Paying Agent to such former holder pursuant to Section 1.6 as soon as practicable following the Effective Time (but in any event not later than three Business Days thereafter), subject to any required tax withholdings.

1.10 Further Action. If, at any time after the Effective Time, any further action is reasonably determined by Parent to be necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement or to vest the Surviving Corporation with full right, title and possession of and to all rights and property of Merger Sub and the Company, the officers and directors of the Surviving Corporation and Parent shall be fully authorized (in the name of Merger Sub, in the name of the Company and otherwise) to take such action.

Subject to Section 5.1(b), the Company hereby consents to the inclusion of a description of the Company Board Recommendation and the Special Committee Recommendation in the Proxy Statement. During the Pre-Closing Period, neither the Company’s Board of Directors nor any committee (including the Special Committee) thereof shall (i)(A) withdraw (or modify in a manner adverse to Parent or Merger Sub), or publicly propose to withdraw (or modify in a manner adverse to Parent or Merger Sub), the Company Board Recommendation or the Special Committee Recommendation, as applicable, or (B) approve, recommend or declare advisable, or propose publicly to approve, recommend or declare advisable, any Acquisition Proposal (any action described in this clause (i) being referred to as a “Company

(n) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, at any time prior to the receipt of the Required Shareholder Vote:

Issuance of any “stop, look and listen” communication by or on behalf of the Company pursuant to Rule 14d-9(f) shall not be considered a Company Adverse Change Recommendation and shall not require the giving of a Determination Notice or compliance with the procedures set forth in this Section 5.1.

(ii) other than in connection with an Acquisition Proposal, the Company’s Board of Directors may make a Company Adverse Change Recommendation in response to a Change in Circumstance, if and only if: (A) the Company’s Board of Directors determines in good faith, after consultation with the Company’s outside legal counsel, that the failure to do so would reasonably constitute a breach of the fiduciary duties of the Company’s Board of Directors to the Company’s shareholders under applicable Legal Requirements; (B) the Company shall have given Parent a Determination Notice at least four (4) business days prior to making any such Company Adverse Change Recommendation; and (C) (1) the Company shall have specified the Change in Circumstance in reasonable detail, (2) the Company shall have given Parent the four (4) business days after the Determination Notice to propose revisions to the terms of this Agreement or make another proposal so that such Change in Circumstance would no longer necessitate a Company Adverse Change Recommendation, and shall have negotiated in good faith with Parent with respect to such proposed revisions or other proposal, if any, and (3) after considering the results of such negotiations and giving effect to the proposals (including the Equity Funding Letter and Guaranty) made by Parent, if any, after consultation with outside legal counsel, the Company’s Board of Directors shall have determined, in good faith, that the failure to make the Company Adverse Change Recommendation in response to such Change in Circumstance would reasonably constitute a breach of fiduciary duties of the Company’s Board of Directors to the Company’s shareholders under applicable Legal Requirements. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of this Section 5.1(b)(ii) shall also apply to any material change to the facts and circumstances relating to such Change in Circumstance and require a new Determination Notice, except that the references to four (4) business days shall be deemed to be two (2) business days.

The Company, on the one hand, and Parent and Merger Sub, on the other hand, agree to promptly correct any information provided by it for use in the Proxy Statement if and to the extent

that it shall have become false or misleading in any material respect or as otherwise required by applicable Legal Requirements, and the Company further agrees to cause the Proxy Statement, as so corrected, to be filed with the SEC and, if any such correction is made following the mailing of the Proxy Statement, mailed to holders of Shares, in each case as and to the extent required by the Exchange Act or the SEC (or its staff). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company assumes no responsibility with respect to information supplied in writing by or on behalf of Parent or Merger Sub specifically for inclusion or incorporation by reference in the Proxy Statement.

The Company shall ensure that all proxies solicited by the Company in connection with the Company Shareholders’ Meeting are solicited in compliance in all material respects with all applicable Legal Requirements. Subject to Sections 4.3 and 5.1, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain the Required Company Shareholder Vote. The Company in its sole discretion may adjourn or postpone the Company Shareholders’ Meeting after consultation with Parent, and with Parent’s consent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), (A) to the extent necessary to ensure that any legally required supplement or amendment to the Proxy Statement is provided to the shareholders of the Company within a reasonable amount of time in advance of the Company Shareholders’ Meeting or (B) if as of the time for which the Company Shareholders’ Meeting is originally scheduled (as set forth in the Proxy Statement) there are insufficient Shares represented (either in person or by proxy) to constitute a quorum necessary to conduct the business of the Company Shareholders’ Meeting. Unless this Agreement is validly terminated in accordance with Section 7.1, the Company shall submit this Agreement and the Merger to its shareholders at the Company Shareholders’ Meeting even if the Company’s Board of Directors shall have made a Company Adverse Change Recommendation.

(q) Parent agrees to cause all Shares owned by Parent or any subsidiary of Parent to be voted in favor of the approval of the Agreement at the Company Shareholders’ Meeting.

divestiture or disposition of any assets, rights, product lines, or businesses of Parent or its Subsidiaries and/or those of the Acquired Corporations, provided that the Acquired Corporations will only be required to take or commit to take any such action, or agree to any such condition or restriction, if such action, commitment, agreement, condition or restriction is binding on the Acquired Corporations only in the event the Closing occurs; and (ii) provide as promptly as reasonably practicable all information required by any Governmental Body pursuant to its evaluation of the Transactions under the HSR Act (or other applicable Antitrust Laws). By way of illustration and not limitation, the Parties agree to promptly take, and cause their affiliates to take, all actions and steps requested or required by any Governmental Body as a condition to granting any consent, permit, authorization, waiver, clearance and approvals, and to cause the prompt expiration or termination of any applicable waiting period and to resolve such objections, if any, as the FTC, FCC and the DOJ, or other Governmental Bodies of any other jurisdiction for which consents, permits, authorizations, waivers, clearances, approvals and expirations or terminations of waiting periods are sought with respect to the Transactions, so as to obtain termination of the waiting period under the HSR Act or other Antitrust Laws, and to avoid the commencement of a lawsuit by the FTC, the DOJ or other Governmental Bodies under Antitrust Laws, and to avoid the entry of, or to effect the dissolution of, any injunction, temporary restraining order or other order in any suit or proceeding which would otherwise have the effect of preventing the Closing or materially delaying the Closing. The Parties shall defend through litigation on the merits any claim asserted in court by any party under Antitrust Laws in order to avoid entry of, or to have vacated or terminated, any decree, order or judgment (whether temporary, preliminary or permanent) that could restrain, delay, or prevent the Closing by the End Date.

(n) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each of the Parties hereto shall (and shall cause their respective Affiliates, if applicable, to): (i) promptly, but in no event later than nine (9) business days after the date hereof, make an appropriate filing of all Notification and Report forms as required by the HSR Act with respect to the Transactions; and (ii) cooperate with each other in determining whether, and promptly preparing and making, any other filings, notifications or other consents are required to be made with, or obtained from, any other Governmental Bodies in connection with the Transactions.

(o) Without limiting the generality of anything contained in this Section 5.2, during the Pre-Closing Period, each Party hereto shall use its reasonable best efforts to (i) give the other Parties prompt notice of the making or commencement of any request, inquiry, investigation, action or Legal Proceeding brought by a Governmental Body or brought by a third party before any Governmental Body, in each case, with respect to the Transactions, (ii) keep the other Parties reasonably informed as to the status of any such request, inquiry, investigation, action or Legal Proceeding, (iii) promptly inform the other Parties of any communication to or from the FTC, FCC, DOJ or any other Governmental Body in connection with any such request, inquiry, investigation, action or Legal Proceeding, (iv) promptly furnish to the other Party, subject to an appropriate confidentiality agreement to limit disclosure to counsel and outside consultants, with copies of documents provided to or received from any Governmental Body in connection with any such request, inquiry, investigation, action or Legal Proceeding (other than “4(c) documents” as that term is used in the rules and regulations under the HSR Act), (v) subject to an appropriate confidentiality agreement to limit disclosure to counsel and outside consultants, and to the extent reasonably

practicable, consult and cooperate with the other Parties and will consider in good faith the views of the other Parties in connection with any analysis, appearance, presentation, memorandum, brief, argument, opinion or proposal made or submitted in connection with any such request, inquiry, investigation, action or Legal Proceeding, and (vi) except as may be prohibited by any Governmental Body or by any Legal Requirement, in connection with any such request, inquiry, investigation, action or Legal Proceeding in respect of the Transactions, each Party hereto will permit authorized Representatives of the other Party to be present at each meeting or conference relating to such request, inquiry, investigation, action or Legal Proceeding and to have access to and be consulted in connection with any argument, opinion or proposal made or submitted to any Governmental Body in connection with such request, inquiry, investigation, action or Legal Proceeding.

(p) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each of the Parties hereto shall (and shall cause their respective Affiliates, if applicable, to promptly, but in no event later than five (5) business days after the date hereof, jointly file or cause to be filed with the FCC all appropriate applications and notifications to obtain any required approval of the FCC for the transactions contemplated hereunder (collectively, the “FCC Transfer Application”). Each of the Parties hereto shall furnish to the other Parties such necessary information and assistance as each may request in connection with the preparation, filing, and prosecution of the FCC Transfer Application in order to have such applications made as expeditiously as practicable. Any filing fees incurred in connection with the filing of the FCC Transfer Application shall be borne and paid equally by Parent and Merger Sub, on the one hand, and the Company, on the other, and the Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate and prosecute the FCC Transfer Application in good faith and with due diligence before the FCC, and shall furnish to the FCC any documents, materials, or other information requested by the FCC in order to obtain the FCC Consent as expeditiously as practicable. During the Pre-Closing Period, Parent and Merger Sub will not take, or fail to take, any action that reasonably would be expected to disqualify Parent or Merger Sub as the proposed assignee or transferee pursuant to the FCC Transfer Application or as the licensee of the FCC Licenses. If Parent or Merger Sub become aware of any facts or circumstances that would reasonably be expected to cause such disqualification, it will notify the Company as soon as practicable in writing thereof and use its reasonable best efforts to prevent and/or cure any such disqualification.

5.3 Company Options. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall use its reasonable best reasonable efforts to take such actions (including obtaining any necessary determinations and/or resolutions of the Company’s Board of Directors or a committee thereof) that may be necessary (under the Company Equity Plans and award agreements pursuant to which Company Options are outstanding or otherwise) to (a) accelerate the vesting and exercisability of each unexpired and unexercised Company Option then outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time so that each such Company Option shall be fully vested and exercisable prior to the Effective Time, (b) terminate each Company Equity Plan (except as otherwise agreed by Parent and the Company) and (c) cause, as of the Effective Time, each unexpired and unexercised Company Option then outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether vested or unvested (and each plan, if any, under which any Company Option may be granted except, with respect to any such plan, as otherwise agreed by Parent and the Company) to be cancelled, terminated and extinguished, subject, if applicable, to payment pursuant to Section 1.8.

5.4 Employee Benefits. For a period of one year following the Effective Time, Parent shall provide, or cause to be provided, to those employees of the Acquired Corporations who are employed by the Acquired Corporations as of immediately prior to the Effective Time and who continue to be actively employed by the Surviving Corporation (or any Subsidiary thereof) during such one year period (the “Continuing Employees”) base salary and base wages and short-term cash incentive compensation opportunities (excluding equity based compensation) that are substantially comparable in the aggregate to such base salary and base wages and short-term cash incentive compensation opportunities (excluding equity based compensation) provided to such Continuing Employees immediately prior to the execution of this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing:

(d) With respect to any accrued but unused personal, sick or vacation time to which any Continuing Employee is entitled pursuant to the personal, sick or vacation policies applicable to such Continuing Employee immediately prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to and instruct its Subsidiaries to, as applicable (and without duplication of benefits), assume the liability for such accrued personal, sick or vacation time and allow such Continuing Employee to use such accrued personal, sick or vacation time in accordance with the practice and policies of the applicable Acquired Corporation.

(e) Parent agrees that all Continuing Employees shall be eligible to continue to participate in the Surviving Corporation’s health and welfare benefit plans (to the same extent such Continuing Employees were eligible to participate under the Acquired Corporations’ health and welfare benefit plans immediately prior to the Effective Time); provided, however, that (i) nothing in this Section 5.4 or elsewhere in this Agreement shall limit the right of Parent or the Surviving Corporation to amend or terminate any such health or welfare benefit plan at any time, and (ii) if Parent or the Surviving Corporation terminates any such health or welfare benefit plan, then the Continuing Employees shall be eligible to participate in one or more health and welfare benefit plans sponsored by the Surviving Corporation or the Parent (or an Affiliate) to the extent that coverage under such plans is replacing similar coverage under an Employee Plan in which such Continuing Employee participated immediately before the Effective Time. To the extent that service is relevant for eligibility or vesting purposes or for the purpose of determining future paid time off

accruals under any retirement, health or welfare benefit plan of Parent and/or the Surviving Corporation, then Parent shall ensure that such retirement, health or welfare benefit plan shall, for purposes of eligibility or vesting purposes or for the purpose of determining future paid time off accruals (but not for purposes of benefit accrual under other benefit plans), credit Continuing Employees for service prior to the Effective Time with the Acquired Corporations to the same extent that such service was recognized prior to the Effective Time under the corresponding retirement, health or welfare benefit plan of the Parent or Surviving Corporation (or an Affiliate). Nothing in this Section 5.4 or elsewhere in this Agreement shall be construed to create a right in any employee to employment with Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any other Subsidiary of the Surviving Corporation and the employment of each Continuing Employee shall be “at will” employment. If requested by Parent at least five days prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall terminate the XRS 401(k) Retirement Plan no later than the day prior to the Closing Date and such termination shall be evidenced by Company’s Board of Directors’ consent or resolution adopted no later than the day immediately prior to the Closing Date, the form of which shall have been approved by Parent (whose approval shall not be unreasonably withheld).

(f) The provisions of this Section 5.4 are solely for the benefit of the Parties to this Agreement, and no provision of this Section 5.4 is intended to, or shall, constitute the establishment or adoption of or an amendment to any employee benefit plan for purposes of ERISA or otherwise and no current or former employee or any other individual associated therewith shall be regarded for any purpose as a third party beneficiary of the Agreement or have the right to enforce the provisions hereof.

5.5 Indemnification of Officers and Directors.

(h) All rights to indemnification by the Acquired Corporations existing in favor of those Persons who are directors and officers of any Acquired Corporation as of the date of this Agreement (the “Indemnified Persons”) for their acts and omissions occurring prior to the Effective Time, as provided in the Articles of Incorporation and bylaws of the Acquired Corporations (as in effect as of the date of this Agreement) and as provided in the indemnification agreements between the Acquired Corporations and said Indemnified Persons (as set forth on Part 5.5(a) of the Company Disclosure Schedule and in effect as of the date of this Agreement) in the forms made available by the Company to Parent or Parent’s Representatives prior to the date of this Agreement, shall survive the Merger and shall be observed by the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries to the fullest extent available under the applicable Legal Requirements for a period of six years from the Effective Time, and any claim made requesting indemnification pursuant to such indemnification rights within such six-year period shall continue to be subject to this Section 5.5(a) and the indemnification rights provided under this Section 5.5(a) until disposition of such claim. The Parties acknowledge and agree that the indemnification agreements by and between certain shareholders of the Company, on the one hand, and one or more of the Acquired Corporations, on the other hand, set forth on Part 5.5(a) of the Company Disclosure Schedule (collectively, the “Shareholder Indemnification Agreements”) shall survive the Closing and remain applicable to such shareholders of the Company in accordance with their terms, and subject to the conditions, limitations and time periods set forth therein, in each case, as in effect on the date hereof; provided, that nothing contained in this Section

5.5 shall be deemed to amend, modify or supplement any of such terms, conditions, limitations and time periods as in effect on the date hereof.

(i) From the Effective Time until the sixth anniversary of the date on which the Effective Time occurs, Parent and the Surviving Corporation (together with its successors and assigns, the “Indemnifying Parties”) shall, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Legal Requirements, indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnified Person in his or her capacity as an officer or director of an Acquired Corporation against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, fees, expenses, judgments or fines incurred by such Indemnified Person as an officer or director of an Acquired Corporation in connection with any pending or threatened Legal Proceeding based on or arising out of, in whole or in part, the fact that such Indemnified Person is or was a director or officer of an Acquired Corporation at or prior to the Effective Time and pertaining to any and all matters pending, existing or occurring at or prior to the Effective Time, whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the Effective Time, including any such matter arising under any claim with respect to the transactions contemplated herein. Without limiting the foregoing, from the Effective Time until the sixth anniversary of the date on which the Effective Time occurs, the Indemnifying Parties shall also, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Legal Requirements, advance reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees) incurred by the Indemnified Persons in connection with matters for which such Indemnified Persons are eligible to be indemnified pursuant to this Section 5.5(b) within fifteen days after receipt by Parent of a written request for such advance, subject to the execution by such Indemnified Persons of appropriate undertakings in favor of the Indemnifying Parties to repay such advanced costs and expenses if it is ultimately determined in a final and non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction that such Indemnified Person is not entitled to be indemnified under this Section 5.5(b).

(j) From the Effective Time until the sixth anniversary of the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall maintain in effect, the existing policy of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance maintained by the Company as of the date of this Agreement (a true and correct copy of which has been made available by the Company to Parent or Parent’s Representatives prior to the date of this Agreement) for the benefit of the Indemnified Persons who are currently covered by such existing policy with respect to their acts and omissions occurring prior to the Effective Time in their capacities as directors and officers of the Acquired Corporations (as applicable), on terms with respect to coverage, deductibles and amounts no less favorable than the existing policy (or at or prior to the Effective Time Parent or the Company may (through a nationally recognized insurance broker approved by Parent (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned)) purchase a six-year “tail” policy for the existing policy effective as of the Effective Time) and if such “tail policy” has been obtained, it shall be deemed to satisfy all obligations to obtain and/or maintain insurance pursuant to this Section 5.5(c); provided, however, that in no event shall the Surviving Corporation be required to expend in any one year an amount in excess of 250% of the annual premium currently payable by the Company with respect to such current policy, it being understood that if the annual premiums payable for such insurance coverage exceeds such amount, Parent shall be obligated to cause the Surviving Corporation to obtain a policy with the greatest coverage available for a cost equal to such amount.

(k) In the event Parent or the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or Entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, Parent shall ensure that the successors and assigns of Parent or the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, or at Parent’s option, Parent, shall assume the obligations set forth in this Section 5.5.

(l) The provisions of this Section 5.5 shall survive the consummation of the Merger and are (i) intended to be for the benefit of, and will be enforceable by, each of the Indemnified Persons and their heirs and (ii) 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. Unless required by applicable Legal Requirement, this Section 5.5 may not be amended, altered or repealed after the Effective Time in such a manner as to adversely affect the rights of any Indemnified Person or any of their heirs without the prior written consent of the affected Indemnified Person.

5.6 Securityholder Litigation. The Company shall give Parent the right to review and comment on all material filings or responses to be made by the Company in connection with any litigation against the Company and/or its directors relating to the Transactions, and the right to consult on the settlement with respect to such litigation, and the Company will in good faith take such comments into account, and, no such settlement shall be agreed to without Parent’s prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). The Company shall promptly notify Parent of any such litigation and shall keep Parent reasonably and promptly informed with respect to the status thereof.

5.7 Additional Agreements. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement (including Sections 4.3 and 5.1), Parent and the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions necessary to consummate the Merger and make effective the other Transactions. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each Party to this Agreement (i) shall make all filings (if any) and give all notices (if any) required to be made and given by such Party in connection with the Merger and the other Transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (ii) shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain each Consent (if any) required to be obtained pursuant to any applicable Legal Requirement or Material Contract by such Party in connection with the Transactions, and (iii) shall use commercially reasonable efforts to lift any restraint, injunction or other legal bar to the Merger brought by any third Person against such Party. The Company shall promptly deliver to Parent a copy of each such filing made, each such notice given and each such Consent obtained by the Company during the Pre-Closing Period.

5.8 Disclosure. The initial press release relating to this Agreement shall be a joint press release issued by the Company and Parent and thereafter Parent and the Company shall consult with each other before issuing any further press release or otherwise making any public statement or making any announcement to Company Associates (to the extent not previously issued or made in accordance with this Agreement) with respect to the Merger, this Agreement or any of the other Transactions and shall not issue any such press release, public statement or announcement to Company Associates without the other Party’s written consent. Notwithstanding the foregoing: (a)

each Party may, without such consultation or consent, make any public statement in response to questions from the press, analysts, investors or those attending industry conferences, make internal announcements to employees and make disclosures in Company SEC Documents, so long as such statements are consistent with previous press releases, public disclosures or public statements made jointly by the parties (or individually, if approved by the other Party); (b) a Party may, without the prior consent of the other Party hereto but subject to giving advance notice to the other Party, issue any such press release or make any such public announcement or statement as may be required by Legal Requirement; and (c) the Company need not consult with Parent in connection with such portion of any press release, public statement or filing to be issued or made pursuant to Section 4.3(e) or with respect to any Acquisition Proposal or Company Adverse Change Recommendation.

5.9 Takeover Laws; Advice of Changes.

(a) If any Takeover Law may become, or may purport to be, applicable to the transactions contemplated in this Agreement or the Voting Agreements, each of Parent and the Company and the members of their respective Boards of Directors (in their capacities as directors) shall use their respective reasonable best efforts to grant such approvals and take such actions as are necessary so that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Voting Agreements may be consummated as promptly as practicable on the terms and conditions contemplated hereby and otherwise act to render such Takeover Laws inapplicable to the Merger, the other Transactions and the Voting Agreements or otherwise lawfully eliminate the effect of any Takeover Law on any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Voting Agreements.

(b) The Company will give prompt notice to Parent (and will subsequently keep the other informed on a current basis of any developments related to such notice) upon its becoming aware of the occurrence or existence of any fact, event or circumstance that (i) has had or would reasonably be expected to result in any Material Adverse Effect with respect to it and (ii) is reasonably likely to result in any of the conditions set forth in Sections 6.1 and/or 6.2 not being able to be satisfied prior to the End Date. Parent will give prompt notice to the Company (and will subsequently keep the other informed on a current basis of any developments related to such notice) upon its becoming aware of the occurrence or existence of any fact, event or circumstance that (i) has had or would reasonably be expected to have a Parent Material Adverse Effect or (ii) is reasonably likely to result in any of the conditions set forth in Sections 6.1 and/or 6.3 not being able to be satisfied prior to the End Date.

5.10 Section 16 Matters. The Company, and the Company’s Board of Directors, shall, to the extent necessary, take appropriate action, prior to or as of the Effective Time, to approve, for purposes of Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, the deemed disposition and cancellation of Shares and Company Options in the Transactions contemplated hereby by applicable individuals and to cause such dispositions and/or cancellations to be exempt under Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act.

If the Company at any point believes that it has delivered the Required Information in accordance with this Section 5.11(a), it may deliver to the Parent a written notice to such effect, in which case the Company shall be deemed to have delivered the Required Information unless the Parent shall have

provided to the Company within three (3) business days a written notice describing in reasonable detail what information that constitutes Required Information the Company has not delivered; provided, further, that the determination as to whether the Required Information has been delivered shall not be contingent upon the availability of Debt Financing.

(p) Nothing in this Section 5.11 shall require such cooperation by the Company to the extent it would (i) cause any condition to Closing set forth in Section 6 to fail to be satisfied or otherwise cause any breach of this Agreement that would provide Parent the right to terminate this Agreement (unless waived by Parent), (ii) require the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to take any action that will conflict with or violate the Company’s organizational documents or any Legal Requirements or result in the contravention of, or would reasonably be expected to result in a violation or breach of, or default under, any Material Contract in any material respect (in each case prior to the Effective Time and in each case with no such restriction, conflict or violation being provided for or entered into under such organizational document in contemplation of this clause (ii)), (iii) result in any officer or director of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries incurring any personal liability with respect to any matters relating to the Financing or (iv) interfere unreasonably with the business or operations of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

Company nor any of its Affiliates shall seek any recourse against any such financing source, in each case in connection with this Agreement, the Debt Financing or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.

(h) by mutual written consent of Parent and the Company;

(i) by either the Company or Parent, if the Company Shareholders’ Meeting (including any adjournments and postponements thereof) shall have been held and completed and the Company’s shareholders shall have taken a final vote on a proposal to approve this Agreement and the Merger, and this Agreement and the Merger shall not have been approved at the Company Shareholders’ Meeting (and shall not have been approved at any adjournment or postponement thereof) by the Required Company Shareholder Vote; provided that the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 7.1(b) shall not be available to a Party if such Party is in breach of its obligations under Section 5.1(c) or (d);

(j) by either Parent or the Company if a court of competent jurisdiction or other Governmental Body shall have issued a decree or ruling, or shall have taken any other action, having the effect of permanently restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the acceptance for payment of Shares pursuant to the Merger or making consummation of the Merger illegal, which order, decree, ruling or other action shall be final and nonappealable; provided, however, that a Party shall not be permitted to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 7.1(c) if the issuance of such final and nonappealable order, decree, ruling or other action is primarily attributable to a failure on the part of such Party to perform in any material respect any covenant or obligation in this Agreement required to be performed by such Party at or prior to the Effective Time;

(k) by Parent at any time prior to the receipt of the Required Company Shareholder Vote, if, whether or not permitted to do so: (A) the Company’s Board of Directors shall have failed to include the Company Board Recommendation in the Proxy Statement when mailed, or shall have effected a Company Adverse Change Recommendation; or (B) the Company’s Board of Directors shall have failed to publicly reaffirm its recommendation of this Agreement in the absence of a publicly announced Acquisition Proposal within the earlier of ten (10) business days after Parent so requests in writing and two (2) business days prior to the Company Shareholders’ Meeting, provided that, Parent may only make such request once every thirty (30) days, provided, further, that if an Acquisition Proposal shall have been publicly disclosed, Parent may make such request up to three (3) times every thirty (30) days;

(m) by the Company, at any time prior to the receipt of the Required Company Shareholder Vote, in order to accept a Superior Offer and enter into a binding written definitive acquisition agreement providing for the consummation of a transaction constituting a Superior Offer (a “Specified Agreement”), if (i) the Company has complied in all material respects with the

(n) by Parent at any time prior to the Closing, if a breach of any representation or warranty or failure to perform any covenant or obligation contained in this Agreement on the part of the Company shall have occurred that would cause a failure of the conditions in Section 6.2(a), (b), (c), (d) or (e) to exist and cannot be cured by the Company by the End Date, or if capable of being cured, shall not have commenced to have been cured within fifteen (15) days of the date Parent gives the Company notice of such breach or failure to perform; provided, however, that, Parent shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 7.1(g) if either Parent or Merger Sub is then in material breach of any representations, warranties, covenants or other agreements hereunder such that the Company has the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1(h);

(o) by the Company at any time prior to Closing, if a breach of any representation or warranty or failure to perform any covenant or obligation contained in this Agreement on the part of Parent or Merger Sub shall have occurred that would cause a failure of the conditions in Section 6.3(a), (b) or (c) to exist and cannot be cured by Parent or Merger Sub by the End Date, or if capable of being cured, shall not have commenced to have been cured within fifteen (15) days of the date the Company gives Parent notice of such breach or failure to perform; provided, however, that, the Company shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 7.1(h) if it is then in material breach of any representations, warranties, covenants or other agreements hereunder that would result in the conditions to Closing set forth in Section 6.1 or Section 6.2 not being satisfied;

(p) by the Company, if (A) the conditions set forth in Sections 6.1 and 6.2 (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied by actions taken at the Closing) have been satisfied, (B) the Company has irrevocably confirmed by notice to Parent that all conditions set forth in Sections 6.1 and 6.2 have been satisfied as of the date of such notice (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied by actions taken at the Closing) and, if there any unsatisfied conditions in Section 6.3 (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied by actions taken at the Closing) that it is willing to waive any unsatisfied conditions in Section 6.3 (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied by actions taken at the Closing) and (C) the Merger shall not have been consummated within three (3) business days after the delivery of such notice;

7.2 Effect of Termination. In the event of the termination of this Agreement as provided in Section 7.1, written notice thereof shall be given to the other Party or Parties, specifying the provision hereof pursuant to which such termination is made, and this Agreement shall be of no further force or effect and there shall be no liability on the part of Parent, Merger Sub or the Company or their respective directors, officers and Affiliates following any such termination; provided, however, that (a) this Section 7.2, Section 7.3, Section 8 and the expense reimbursement and indemnification provisions of Section 5.11(a) shall survive the termination of this Agreement and shall remain in full force and effect, (b) the Confidentiality Agreement shall survive the termination

of this Agreement and shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with its terms; (c) the Guaranty shall survive the termination of this Agreement and shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with its terms; and (d) subject to the limitations set forth in Section 7.3, the termination of this Agreement shall not relieve any Party from any liability for willful and material breach of this Agreement prior to the date of termination and common law fraud. Nothing shall limit or prevent any Party from exercising any rights or remedies it may have under Section 8.5(b) in lieu of terminating this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1.

7.3 Expenses; Termination Fee.

(m) Except as set forth in this Section 7.3, the expense reimbursement and indemnification provisions of Section 5.11(a) and that Parent shall pay the filing fees for any filings made under the HSR Act, all fees and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the Transactions shall be paid by the Party incurring such expenses, whether or not the Merger is consummated.

(n) In the event that:

(i) this Agreement is terminated by the Company pursuant to Section 7.1(f);

(ii) this Agreement is terminated by Parent pursuant to Section 7.1(d); or

(iii) (x) this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 7.1(b) or Section 7.1(g) (as a result of any willful breach), (y) any Person shall have publicly disclosed or shall have made known to the Company’s Board of Directors a bona fide Acquisition Proposal after the date hereof and prior to such termination (unless irrevocably, in good faith and, if such Acquisition Proposal is public, publicly withdrawn prior to such termination), and (z) within twelve (12) months of such termination the Company shall have entered into a definitive agreement with respect to an Acquisition Proposal or consummated an Acquisition Proposal (provided that for purposes of this clause (z) the references to “20%” in the definition of “Acquisition Proposal” shall be deemed to be references to “80%”);

then, in any such event under clause “(i)”, “(ii)” or “(iii)” of this Section 7.3(b), the Company shall pay to Parent or its designee the applicable Termination Fee plus the Expense Reimbursement (provided, that the aggregate amount of the Expense Reimbursement to be paid pursuant to this Section 7.3(b) shall in no event exceed $2,250,000), by wire transfer of same day funds (x) in the case of Section 7.3(b)(ii), within two (2) business days after such termination, (y) prior to (or if the Specified Agreement is executed on a day that is not a business day, the next business day) such termination if pursuant to Section 7.1(b)(i) or (z) in the case of Section 7.3(b)(iii), prior to the consummation of the Acquisition Proposal referred to in subclause (iii)(z) above; it being understood that in no event shall the Company be required to pay the applicable Termination Fee or Expense Reimbursement on more than one occasion. As used herein, “Termination Fee” shall mean a cash amount equal to $6,600,000. In the event that Parent or its designee shall receive full payment pursuant to this Section 7.3(b), the receipt of the applicable Termination Fee, the Expense

Reimbursement and the expenses referred to in this Section 7.3(b) and Section 7.3(f) 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 claim, action or proceeding against the Company or any of its Affiliates arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, any of the transactions contemplated hereby or any matters forming the basis for such termination; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 7.3(b) shall limit the rights of Parent and Merger Sub under Section 8.5(b); provided, further, that, subject to the immediately following sentence, nothing in this Section 7.3(b) shall relieve the Company of liability for any willful and material breach of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event that the Termination Fee is paid pursuant to this Section 7.3(b), Parent shall have the right, exercisable by written notice to the Company within one business day after the receipt of payment of such Termination Fee, to irrevocably refund such Termination Fee to the Company, and in that event that the Company actually receives a full refund of the entire Termination Fee within two business days after the delivery of such notice, Parent and Merger Sub shall be entitled to all remedies available as contemplated by Section 7.2(d) and the immediately preceding proviso. For the avoidance of doubt, if, after receiving the Termination Fee, Parent fails to exercise its right to refund the Termination Fee in accordance with the time periods provided for in the foregoing sentence, Parent shall be deemed to have irrevocably waived such right to monetary damages for willful and material breach and the Company shall have no further liability to Parent or Merger Sub under this Agreement except with respect to the payment of the Termination Fee, the Expense Reimbursement and the expenses referred to in this Section 7.3(b) and Section 7.3(f).

(o) If this Agreement is terminated by the Company pursuant to Section 7.1(i), then Parent shall pay to the Company by wire transfer of same day funds, within two (2) business days after such termination, a non-refundable termination fee of $13,200,000 (the “Parent Termination Fee”), it being understood that in no event shall Parent be required to pay the Parent Termination Fee on more than one occasion. In the event that Company shall receive full payment pursuant to this Section 7.3(c), together with indemnification pursuant to Section 5.11(a) and reimbursement of any applicable expenses pursuant to Section 7.3(f), the receipt of the Parent Termination Fee together with such expenses shall be deemed to be the only monetary damages for any and all losses or damages suffered or incurred by the Company or any other Person in connection with this Agreement, the Equity Funding Letter, or the Guaranty (and the termination hereof), the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby (and the abandonment or termination thereof) or any matter forming the basis for such termination, and neither the Company nor any other Person shall be entitled to bring or maintain any claim, action or proceeding against Parent, Merger Sub or any other Parent Related Party (as defined below) arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, the Equity Funding Letter, or the Guaranty, any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (or the abandonment or termination thereof) or any matters forming the basis for such termination.

(p) In the event this Agreement is validly terminated by Parent pursuant to Section 7.1(g) as a result of a willful material breach by the Company, then the Company shall reimburse Parent for all of its actual and reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (the “Expense

Reimbursement”), by wire transfer of immediately available funds on the second (2nd) business day following the date of such termination of this Agreement; provided, that the existence of circumstances which would require the Termination Fee to become subsequently payable by the Company pursuant to Section 7.3(b) shall not relieve the Company of its obligations to pay the Expense Reimbursement pursuant to this Section 7.3(d); and provided, further, that the payment by the Company of the Expense Reimbursement pursuant to this Section 7.3(d) shall not relieve the Company of any subsequent obligation to pay the Termination Fee pursuant to Section 7.3(b) except to the extent indicated in Section 7.3(b).

(q) For the avoidance of doubt, (1) under no circumstances shall the collective monetary damages payable by Parent, Merger Sub or any of their Affiliates, for breaches under this Agreement or the Equity Funding Letter exceed $13,200,000 in the aggregate for all such breaches (and any indemnification pursuant to Section 7.3(f), but excluding any indemnification pursuant to Section 5.11(a)) (the “Parent Liability Limitation”) and (2) while the Company, in its sole discretion, may determine its choice of remedies hereunder, including by pursuing specific performance in accordance with Section 8.5(b), under no circumstances shall the Company be permitted or entitled to receive both specific performance of the type contemplated by Section 8.5(b) and any money damages. In no event shall the Company and its Subsidiaries and any of their respective former, current or future officers, directors, partners, shareholders, optionholders, managers, members or Affiliates (collectively, “Company Related Parties”) seek or obtain, nor shall they permit any of their Representatives or any other Person on their behalf to seek or obtain, nor shall any Person be entitled to seek or obtain, any monetary recovery or award in excess of the Parent Liability Limitation against Parent, Merger Sub, the Equity Investor, the financing sources under the Debt Financing (if any) or any of their respective former, current or future general or limited partners, shareholders (or stockholders, as applicable), financing sources, managers, members, directors, officers or Affiliates (collectively, the “Parent Related Parties”), and in no event shall the Company or any of its Subsidiaries be entitled to seek or obtain any monetary damages of any kind in excess of the Parent Liability Limitation against the Parent Related Parties, including consequential, special, indirect or punitive damages for, or with respect to, this Agreement, the Equity Funding Letter or the Guaranty or the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby (including, any breach by Equity Investor, Parent or Merger Sub), the termination of this Agreement, the failure to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any claims or actions under applicable Legal Requirements arising out of any such breach, termination or failure. For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent the Company has been awarded specific performance in accordance with Section 8.5(b), the limitations of remedies set forth in this Section 7.3, including Sections 7.3(d) and 7.3(f), shall in no way limit the obligations of Parent, Merger Sub and the Equity Investor to deposit the Payment Fund pursuant to Section 1.6(a) or to pay any amounts to any holders of Restricted Stock Units or Company Options under Section 1.8 or any other amounts owed by Parent, Merger Sub or the Equity Investor under the Merger Agreement or the Equity Funding Letter, in each case, to the extent actually awarded in such order of specific performance.

(r) The Parties acknowledge that the agreements contained in this Section 7.3 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and that, without these agreements, the Parties would not enter into this Agreement; accordingly, if the Company or Parent, as the case may be, fails to timely pay any amount due pursuant to this Section 7.3, and, in order

to obtain the payment, Parent or the Company, as the case may be, commences a Legal Proceeding which results in a judgment against the other Party, with respect to Parent or Merger Sub, or Parties, with respect to the Company, for the payment set forth in this Section 7.3, such paying Party shall pay the other Party or Parties, as applicable, its reasonable and documented costs and expenses (including reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees) in connection with such suit, together with interest on such amount at the prime rate as published in the Wall Street Journal in effect on the date such payment was required to be made through the date such payment was actually received. Except as provided in Section 7.3, and subject to Section 8.5(b), as applicable, payment of the fees and expenses described in this Section 7.3 shall constitute the sole and exclusive remedy of the Parties in connection with any termination of this Agreement.

(s) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in no event shall any Non-Recourse Parent Party (as defined in the Equity Funding Letter, which excludes, for the avoidance of doubt, Equity Investor, Parent and Merger Sub) have any liability for monetary damages to the Company or its Subsidiaries relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, other than Equity Investor’s obligations under the Guaranty and the Equity Funding Letter and other than the obligations of Parent and Merger Sub to the extent expressly provided herein. In no event shall the Company seek or obtain, nor shall they permit any of its Representatives to seek or obtain, nor shall any Person be entitled to seek or obtain, any monetary recovery or monetary award against any Non-Recourse Parent Party with respect to, this Agreement, Equity Funding Letter or the Guaranty or the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby (including, any breach by Equity Investor, Parent or Merger Sub), the termination of this Agreement, the failure to consummate the Transactions or any claims or actions under applicable Legal Requirements arising out of any such breach, termination or failure, other than from Parent or Merger Sub to the extent expressly provided for in this Agreement, the Equity Investor to the extent expressly provided for in the Guaranty and the Equity Funding Letter.

Section 8MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

8.1 Amendment. Prior to the Effective Time this Agreement may be amended with the approval of the respective Boards of Directors of the Company and Parent at any time (whether before or after the approval of this Agreement by the Company’s shareholders); provided, however, that after any such approval of this Agreement by the Company’s shareholders, no amendment shall be made which by applicable Legal Requirements requires further approval of the shareholders of the Company without the further approval of such shareholders. This Agreement may not be amended except by an instrument in writing signed on behalf of each of the parties hereto.

8.2 Waiver. No failure on the part of any Party to exercise any power, right, privilege or remedy under this Agreement, and no delay on the part of any Party in exercising any power, right, privilege or remedy under this Agreement, shall operate as a waiver of such power, right, privilege or remedy; and no single or partial exercise of any such power, right, privilege or remedy shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or of any other power, right, privilege or remedy. No Party shall be deemed to have waived any claim arising out of this Agreement, or any power, right, privilege or remedy under this Agreement, unless the waiver of such claim, power, right, privilege or remedy is expressly set forth in a written instrument duly executed and delivered on

behalf of such Party; and any such waiver shall not be applicable or have any effect except in the specific instance in which it is given.

8.3 No Survival of Representations and Warranties. None of the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement, the Company Disclosure Schedule or in any certificate or schedule or other document delivered pursuant to this Agreement shall survive the Merger.

8.4 Entire Agreement; Counterparts. This Agreement and the other agreements and schedules referred to herein constitute the entire agreement and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among or between any of the Parties, with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof; provided, however, that the Confidentiality Agreement shall not be superseded and shall remain in full force and effect; provided, further, that, if the Effective Time occurs, the Confidentiality Agreement shall automatically terminate and be of no further force and effect. This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which shall constitute one and the same instrument. The exchange of a fully executed Agreement (in counterparts or otherwise) by PDF shall be sufficient to bind the parties to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

8.5 Applicable Legal Requirements; Jurisdiction; Specific Performance; Remedies.

(a) Except as set forth in Section 8.5(d), this Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware applicable to contracts made and performed in such state, regardless of the laws that might otherwise govern under applicable principles of conflicts of laws thereof. Subject to Section 8.5(c), in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement: (i) each of the Parties irrevocably and unconditionally consents and submits to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the Chancery Court of the State of Delaware and any state appellate court therefrom or, if such court lacks subject matter jurisdiction, the United States District Court sitting in New Castle County in the State of Delaware, (it being agreed that the consents to jurisdiction and venue set forth in this Section 8.5(a) shall not constitute general consents to service of process in the State of Delaware and shall have no effect for any purpose except as provided in this paragraph and shall not be deemed to confer rights on any Person other than the Parties hereto); and (ii) each of the Parties irrevocably consents to service of process by first class certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, to the address at which such Party is to receive notice in accordance with Section 8.8. The Parties hereto agree that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by applicable Legal Requirements; provided, however, that nothing in the foregoing shall restrict any Party’s rights to seek any post-judgment relief regarding, or any appeal from, such final trial court judgment.

(b) The Parties agree that irreparable damage for which monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy, would occur in the event that the Parties hereto do not perform their obligations under the provisions of this Agreement in accordance with its specified terms or otherwise breach such provisions. The Parties acknowledge and agree that (A) the Parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions, specific performance, or other equitable relief, to

prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof in the courts described in Section 8.5(a) without proof of damages or otherwise, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled under this Agreement, (B) the provisions set forth in Section 7.3 (i) are not intended to and do not adequately compensate for the harm that would result from a breach of this Agreement and (ii) shall not be construed to diminish or otherwise impair in any respect any Party’s right to specific enforcement and (C) the right of specific performance is an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and without that right, neither the Company nor Parent would have entered into this Agreement, and the Parties agree that each would suffer irreparable harm if this right to specific performance were not enforced. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is explicitly agreed that the Company shall have the right to an injunction, specific performance or other equitable remedies in connection with enforcing Parent’s and Merger Sub’s obligation to: (i) consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and (ii) cause the Equity Financing to be funded to fund the Merger (including to cause Parent to enforce the obligations of the Equity Investor under the Equity Funding Letter in order to cause the Equity Financing to be timely completed), in each case, if (1) the conditions set forth in Sections 6.1 and 6.2 (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied by actions taken at the Closing) have been satisfied, and (2) the Company has irrevocably confirmed by notice to Parent that all conditions set forth in Sections 6.1 and 6.2 have been satisfied as of the date of such notice (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied by actions taken at the Closing) and, if there any unsatisfied conditions in Section 6.3 (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied by actions taken at the Closing) that it is willing to waive any unsatisfied conditions in Section 6.3 (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied by actions taken at the Closing). Each of the Parties hereto agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief on the basis that the other Parties hereto have an adequate remedy at law or an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or equity. The Parties hereto acknowledge and agree that any Party seeking an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in accordance with this Section 8.5(b) shall not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with any such order or injunction.

(c) EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING BETWEEN THE PARTIES HERETO ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

(d) The effectuation of the Merger and all claims or causes of action (whether in contract or in tort) that may challenge the effectiveness of Section 1.1 (Merger), Section 1.2 (Effect of Merger) and Section 1.3 (Closing; Effective Time; Articles of Merger) of this Agreement or that are otherwise mandatorily governed by the MBCA (including the fiduciary duties of the Company’s Board of Directors and any committee thereof) shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Minnesota, to the extent required under Minnesota law.

8.6 Assignability. This Agreement shall be binding upon, and shall be enforceable by and inure solely to the benefit of, the Parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns; provided, however, that neither this Agreement nor any of the rights hereunder may be
