THE OFFER

SECTION 2.01. The Offer.

(a) Provided that this Agreement shall not have been terminated in accordance with Section 9.01, and that none of the events described in any of paragraphs (c) or (d) of Annex A have occurred, Purchaser shall commence (within the meaning of Rule 14d-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (together with the rules and regulations thereunder, the “Exchange Act”)), the Offer as promptly as reasonably practicable after the date hereof, but in any event by no later than ten (10) business days after the initial public announcement of the execution of this Agreement, at a price per Share equal to the Per Share Amount (as adjusted as provided in Section 2.01(g), if applicable) and in compliance with Section 14(d) of the Exchange Act and all other provisions of applicable securities laws.

(b) The obligation of Purchaser to accept for payment Shares tendered pursuant to the Offer shall be subject to (x) the satisfaction of the condition (the “Minimum Condition”) that there shall have been tendered and not validly withdrawn prior to the expiration of the Offer at least the number of Shares that, when added to the Shares, if any, already owned by Parent and Purchaser or any of their respective affiliates, and without giving effect to any treasury shares, constitute a majority of the then outstanding Shares (including all Shares issuable upon the exercise or conversion of any options, warrants, rights or other convertible securities that, if applicable, have a per share exercise or “strike” price that is less than the Per Share Amount, but only to the extent that such options, warrants, rights or other securities have vested or could (by their respective terms) become vested on or prior to the Termination Date, including in connection with the Transactions), and (y) the satisfaction of each of the other conditions set forth in Annex A hereto. The obligation of Purchaser to accept for payment Shares tendered pursuant to the Offer shall not be subject to any other conditions.

(c) Purchaser expressly reserves the right to waive any condition set forth in Annex A, to increase the Per Share Amount, and to make other changes in the terms and conditions of the Offer; provided, however, that no change may be made which (i) decreases the Per Share Amount, (ii) reduces the maximum number of Shares to be purchased in the Offer, (iii) changes the form of consideration to be paid in the Offer, (iv) extends the Offer except as provided in this Section 2.01, (v) imposes conditions to the Offer in addition to those set forth in Annex A hereto or amends the conditions set forth in Annex A, (vi) amends or supplements any other terms of the Offer in a manner adverse, or that could reasonably be expected to be adverse, to the Company or the holders of the Shares, or (vii) changes the Minimum Condition. Unless extended as provided in this Agreement, the offer shall expire on the date (the “Initial Expiration Date”) that is twenty (20) business days following the commencement of the Offer (calculated as set forth in Rule 14d-1(g)(3) and Rule 14e-1(a) under the Exchange Act). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, on the Initial Expiration Date or any subsequent date as of which the Offer is scheduled to expire (a “Subsequent Expiration Date”), any of the conditions set forth in Annex A is not satisfied (other than any conditions which by their nature are to be satisfied at the Acceptance Time) or has not been waived, then the Offer and its expiration shall automatically be extended (and re-extended) beyond the Initial Expiration Date or such Subsequent Expiration Date for one or more periods of ten (10) business days (or such other number of business days as may be jointly determined by Purchaser and the Company) per extension, with no such period ending later than June 15, 2008 (the “Termination Date”), in order to permit such condition to be satisfied (subject to the right of Purchaser to waive any condition (other than the Minimum Condition) in accordance with this Agreement on the Initial Expiration Date or any Subsequent Expiration Date and accept for payment Shares tendered pursuant to the Offer (and not validly withdrawn)). The Offer may not be terminated prior to its scheduled expiration (as such expiration may be extended and re-extended in accordance with this Agreement), unless this Agreement is terminated in accordance with Section 9.01.

(d) The Per Share Amount shall, subject to applicable withholding of Taxes, be paid net to the applicable seller in cash, upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer. To the extent any such amounts are so withheld, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes under this Agreement as having been paid to the person to whom such amounts would otherwise have been paid. Purchaser shall pay for all Shares tendered and not validly withdrawn promptly following the acceptance of Shares for payment pursuant to the Offer. If the payment equal to the Per Share Amount, in cash, is to be made to a person other than the person in whose name the surrendered certificate formerly evidencing Shares 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 Taxes required by reason of the payment of the Per Share Amount to a person other than the registered holder of the certificate surrendered, or shall have established to the reasonable satisfaction of Purchaser that such Taxes either have been paid or are not applicable.

(e) Purchaser may, and the Offer Documents shall reserve the right of Purchaser to, provide for a subsequent offering period (within the meaning of Rule 14d-11 promulgated under the Exchange Act) in compliance with Rule 14d-11 promulgated under the Exchange Act and all other provisions of applicable securities laws of not less than three (3) nor more than twenty (20) business days (for this purpose calculated in accordance with Rule 14d-1(g)(3) promulgated under the Exchange Act) immediately following the expiration of the Offer (as it may be extended as provided in this Agreement). Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and the Offer, Parent shall cause Purchaser to, and Purchaser shall, accept for payment and pay for all Shares validly tendered and not withdrawn during such subsequent offering period as promptly as practicable after any such Shares are tendered during such subsequent offering period and in any event in compliance with Rule 14e-1(c) promulgated under the Exchange Act.

(f) As promptly as reasonably practicable on the date of commencement of the Offer, Purchaser shall file with the SEC a Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO (together with all amendments and supplements thereto, the “Schedule TO”) with respect to the Offer. The Schedule TO shall contain as an exhibit or incorporate by reference an offer to purchase (the “Offer to Purchase”), and forms of the related letter of transmittal and any related summary advertisement (the Schedule TO, the Offer to Purchase and such other documents, together with

all supplements and amendments thereto, being referred to herein collectively as the “Offer Documents”). Parent and Purchaser shall cause the Offer Documents to be disseminated to holders of Shares.

(h) Without limiting the generality of Section 10.08, Parent shall cause to be provided to Purchaser all of the funds necessary to purchase any Shares that Purchaser becomes obligated to purchase pursuant to the Offer, and shall cause Purchaser to perform, on a timely basis, all of Purchaser’s obligations under this Agreement.

To the extent reasonably practicable, the Schedule 14D-9 shall be filed with the SEC concurrently with the filing by Parent and Purchaser of the Schedule TO and shall be mailed to holders of Shares with the Offer Documents (and if so, the expense thereof shall be borne by Parent in connection with its dissemination of the Offer Documents). Each of Parent and Purchaser shall promptly furnish to the Company in writing upon request all information concerning Parent and Purchaser that may be required by applicable securities laws or reasonably requested by the Company for inclusion in the Schedule 14D-9. The Company shall cause the Schedule 14D-9 to comply in all material respects with the Exchange Act and all other applicable Laws. The Company hereby further agrees that the Schedule 14D-9 shall not contain any 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 light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, however, that no representation or warranty is made by the Company with respect to information supplied by Parent or Purchaser or any of their officers, directors, representatives, agents or employees in writing specifically for inclusion or incorporation by reference in the Schedule 14D-9.

The Company shall promptly furnish Purchaser with such additional information, including updated listings and computer files of stockholders, mailing labels and security position listings, and such other assistance in enabling Purchaser to disseminate the Offer Documents to holders of Shares as Parent or Purchaser may reasonably request.

SECTION 2.03. Top-Up Option.

(a) Subject to Sections 2.03(b) and 2.03(c), the Company grants to Parent and Purchaser an option (the “Top-Up Option”) to purchase from the Company the number of newly-issued Shares equal to the lesser of (i) the number of Shares that, when added to the number of Shares owned collectively by Parent and Purchaser at the time of exercise of the Top-Up Option, constitutes 91% of the number of Shares that would be outstanding immediately after the issuance of all Shares subject to the Top-Up Option or (ii) the aggregate number of Shares that the Company is authorized to issue under its Restated Certificate of Incorporation but that are not issued and outstanding (and are not subscribed for or otherwise committed to be issued) at the time of exercise of the Top-Up Option.

(b) The Top-Up Option may be exercised by Parent or Purchaser in whole or in part, at any time at or after the Acceptance Time, in its sole discretion. The aggregate purchase price payable for the Shares being purchased by Parent or Purchaser pursuant to the Top-Up Option shall be determined by multiplying the number of such shares by the Per Share Amount. Such purchase price may be paid by Parent or Purchaser, at its election, (i) in cash, (ii) by executing and delivering to the Company a promissory note having a principal amount equal to such purchase price or (iii) any combination thereof. Any such promissory note shall bear interest at the rate of 3% per annum, shall mature on the first anniversary of the date of execution and delivery of such promissory note and may be prepaid without premium or penalty.

(c) In the event Parent or Purchaser wishes to exercise the Top-Up Option, Parent or Purchaser shall deliver to the Company a notice setting forth (i) the number of Shares that Parent or Purchaser intends to purchase pursuant to the Top-Up Option, (ii) the manner in which Parent or Purchaser intends to pay the applicable exercise price and (iii) the place and time at which the closing of the purchase of such Shares by Parent or Purchaser is to take place. At the closing of the purchase of such Shares, Parent or Purchaser shall cause to be delivered to the Company the consideration required to be delivered in exchange for such Shares, and the Company shall cause to be issued to Parent or Purchaser (as the case may be) a certificate representing such shares. The obligation of the Company to issue such Shares will be subject to compliance with all applicable regulatory requirements.

SECTION 2.04. Parent and Purchaser Shares. Parent and Purchaser shall, and shall cause their affiliates to, vote all Shares beneficially owned by them to adopt this Agreement.

(d) Without duplication of the effects of Section 2.01(g), if, between the Agreement Date and the Effective Time, the outstanding Shares are changed into a different number or class of shares by reason of any stock split, division or subdivision of shares, stock dividend, reverse stock split, consolidation of shares, reclassification, recapitalization or similar transaction, then the Merger Consideration shall be adjusted to the extent appropriate.

SECTION 3.07. Employee Stock Plans.

(a) Prior to, and effective as of, the Effective Time, the Company shall take all necessary action to terminate the Company’s 2000 Stock Option Plan, 2005 Equity Incentive Plan and 2005 Non-Employee Directors’ Stock Option Plan , each as amended through the date of this Agreement (together with the 2005 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”), the “Company Stock Plans”).

(b) Prior to, and effective as of, the Effective Time, the Company shall take all necessary action to accelerate the vesting of each option to purchase Shares under the Company Stock Plans, other than the ESPP (each, a “Company Stock Option”), that is outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time in accordance with the terms of the Company Stock Plans. Each Company Stock Option outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, at the Effective Time, be cancelled and each holder thereof shall be entitled to receive from the Surviving Corporation immediately after the Effective Time, in exchange for the cancellation of such Company Stock Option, an amount in cash equal to the excess, if any, of (x) the Per Share Amount over (y) the per share exercise or “strike” price of such Company Stock Option, multiplied by the number of Shares subject to such Company Stock Option immediately prior to the Effective Time. For the purpose of clarity, any unexercised Company Stock Option with a per share exercise price equal to or greater than the Per Share Amount shall be canceled without payment.

(c) Effective as of the Effective Time, each Share received upon the early exercise of a Company Stock Option (each, an “Option Share”) that is outstanding and unvested immediately prior to the Effective Time shall automatically vest, and the Company’s repurchase right with respect to each Option Share shall lapse, and at the Effective Time the holder of each Option Share shall, subject to this Article III, be entitled to receive the Per Share Amount with respect to each such Option Share.

(d) Effective as of the Effective Time, each Share granted subject to vesting or other lapse restrictions pursuant to any Company Stock Plan (each, a “Restricted Share”), that is outstanding and subject to such restrictions immediately prior to the Effective Time shall automatically vest, and the Company’s reacquisition right with respect to each Restricted Share shall lapse, and at the Effective Time the holder thereof shall, subject to this Article III, be entitled to receive the Per Share Amount with respect to each such Restricted Share.

(e) The Company shall take any and all actions with respect to the ESPP as are necessary to provide that, (i) subject to consummation of the Merger, the ESPP shall terminate, effective immediately before the Effective Time (the “ESPP Termination Date”); and (ii) if the Offering Period(s) (as defined in the ESPP) in effect as of the date hereof terminates prior to the ESPP Termination Date, the ESPP shall be suspended and no new Offering will be commenced under the ESPP unless this Agreement shall have terminated prior to the consummation of the Merger. If such Offering(s) is still in effect on the ESPP Termination Date, then on the ESPP Termination Date, each purchase right under the ESPP (a “Purchase Right”) as of the ESPP Termination Date shall be automatically exercised by applying the payroll deductions of each participant in the ESPP for such Offering(s) to the purchase of a number of whole Shares (subject to the provisions of the ESPP regarding the number of shares purchasable) at an exercise price per Share equal to 85% of the lesser of $1.97 or the Merger Consideration, which number of shares will then be canceled and converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration in accordance with Section 3.06 hereof. Any excess payroll deductions not used as a result of ESPP share limitations shall be distributed to each participant without interest. If a fractional number of Shares results, then such number shall be rounded down to the next whole number, and the excess payroll deductions shall be distributed to the applicable participant without interest.

(f) Any payment to be made pursuant to this Section 3.07 shall be subject to all applicable Tax withholding requirements.

(g) Neither the Company nor the Board shall take any action, pursuant to the Company Stock Plans or otherwise, to cause Parent, Purchaser or the Surviving Corporation to (i) assume any Company Stock Plan, Company Stock Option, Option Share, Restricted Share or Purchase Right, (ii) substitute any similar plan, option or restricted share for any Company Stock Plan, Company Stock Option, Option Share, Restricted Share or Purchase Right, or (iii) cause any Company Stock Plan, Company Stock Option, Option Share, Restricted Share or Purchase Right to continue in full force and effect following the Effective Time. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall mail to each person who is a holder of an outstanding Company Stock Option, Option Share or Restricted Share (regardless of whether such Company Stock Option, Option Share or Restricted Share is or was vested or exercisable at the Effective Time) a letter describing the treatment of and payment for such Company Stock Option, Option Share or Restricted Share pursuant to this Section 3.07 and providing instructions for use in obtaining payment for such Company Stock Option, Option Share or Restricted Share in accordance with this Section.

SECTION 3.08. Dissenting Shares.

(a) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, Shares that are outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and that are held by stockholders who shall have demanded properly in writing appraisal for such Shares in accordance with Section 262 of Delaware Law (collectively, the “Dissenting Shares”) shall not be converted into, or represent the right to receive, the Merger Consideration. Such stockholders shall be entitled to receive payment of the appraised value of such Shares held by them in accordance with the provisions of such Section 262, except that all Dissenting Shares held by stockholders who

shall have failed to perfect or who effectively shall have withdrawn or lost their rights to appraisal of such Shares under such Section 262 shall thereupon be deemed to have been converted into, and to have become exchangeable for, as of the Effective Time, the right to receive the Merger Consideration, without any interest thereon, upon surrender, in the manner provided in Section 3.09, of the certificate or certificates that formerly evidenced such Shares.

(b) The Company shall give Parent (i) prompt notice of any demands for appraisal received by the Company, withdrawals of such demands, and any other instruments served relating to such demands pursuant to Delaware Law and received by the Company, and (ii) the opportunity to direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to demands for appraisal under Delaware Law. The Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of Parent, make any payment with respect to any demands for appraisal or offer to settle or settle any such demands.

SECTION 3.09. Surrender of Shares; Stock Transfer Books.

(a) Prior to the Effective Time, Purchaser shall designate a bank or trust company to act as agent (the “Paying Agent”) for the holders of Shares to receive the funds to which holders of such Shares shall become entitled pursuant to Sections 3.06 and 3.08. Purchaser shall deliver or cause to be delivered such immediately available funds to the Paying Agent on a daily basis, as directed by the Paying Agent, to enable the Paying Agent to make prompt payment to the holders of Shares upon surrender of Certificates pursuant to Section 3.09(b). Such funds shall be held in trust by the Paying Agent for the benefit of the holders of Shares.

(b) Promptly after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall cause to be mailed to each person who was, at the Effective Time, a holder of record of Shares entitled to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 3.06(a) a form of letter of transmittal (which 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 to the Paying Agent) and instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates pursuant to such letter of transmittal. Upon surrender to the Paying Agent of a Certificate, 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 Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor the amount specified in Section 3.06 for each Share (rounded to the nearest whole cent after aggregating all Shares held by such holder) formerly evidenced by such Certificate, and such Certificate shall then be canceled. Any such payment shall be subject to all applicable Tax withholding requirements. No interest shall accrue or be paid on the amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.06 upon the surrender of any Certificate for the benefit of the holder of such Certificate. If the payment of the amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.06 is to be made to a person other than the person in whose name the surrendered Certificate formerly evidencing Shares 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 Taxes required by reason of the payment of the amount specified in Section 3.06 to a person other than the registered holder of the Certificate surrendered, or shall have established to the reasonable satisfaction of Purchaser that such Taxes either have been paid or are not applicable.

(c) In the event that any Certificates shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, the Paying Agent shall pay in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificates, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the holder thereof, the cash consideration payable with respect thereto pursuant to Section 3.06; provided, however, that Parent may, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the issuance of such cash, require the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificates to deliver a bond in such sum as it may reasonably direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against Parent, the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent with respect to the Certificates alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.

(d) At any time following the 180th day after the Acceptance Time, Purchaser shall no longer be required to retain the Paying Agent to make the disbursements required by this Section 3.09, and, thereafter, the holders of Shares shall be entitled to look to Parent or the Surviving Corporation (subject to abandoned property, escheat and other similar laws) only with respect to any Merger Consideration that may be payable upon due surrender of the Certificates held by them. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Surviving Corporation nor the Paying Agent shall be liable to any holder of a Share for any Merger Consideration delivered in respect of such Share to a public official pursuant to any abandoned property, escheat or other similar law.

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

The Company and each Subsidiary of the Company is duly qualified or licensed as a foreign corporation to do business, and is in good standing, in each jurisdiction where the character of the properties owned, leased or operated by it or the nature of its business makes such qualification or licensing necessary, except for such failures to be so qualified or licensed and in good standing that would not have a Material Adverse Effect.

(b) A true and complete list of all the Subsidiaries of the Company, together with the jurisdiction of incorporation of each Subsidiary of the Company and the percentage of the outstanding capital stock of each Subsidiary of the Company owned by the Company and each other Subsidiary of the Company, is set forth in Section 4.01(b) of the Disclosure Schedule.

Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary of the Company is in violation of any of the provisions of its certificate of incorporation, by-laws or equivalent organizational documents, except where any such violation by a Subsidiary of the Company would not have a Material Adverse Effect.

SECTION 4.03. Capitalization. The authorized capital stock of the Company consists of 75,000,000 Shares and 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share. As of the date hereof, (a) 13,138,921 Shares (of which 560,000 are Restricted Shares), all of which are validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, and no preferred shares are issued and outstanding, (b) no Shares are held in the treasury of the Company, (c) no Shares are held by any Subsidiaries of the Company, (d) there are outstanding options to acquire 1,167,972 Shares under the Company Stock Plans (not giving effect to the ESPP), (e) 435,091 Shares are otherwise reserved for future issuance under the Company Stock Plans (not giving effect to the ESPP), and (f) 132,230 Shares are reserved for future issuance pursuant to the ESPP.

All securities of the Company subject to issuance as provided above, upon issuance on the terms and conditions specified in the instruments pursuant to which they are issuable, will be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable. There are no outstanding contractual obligations of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company to repurchase, redeem or otherwise acquire any securities of the Company or of any Subsidiary of the Company or to provide funds to for the purpose of making an investment, or make any investment (in the form of a loan, capital contribution or otherwise) in, any Subsidiary of the Company or any other person. Each outstanding share of capital stock of each Subsidiary of the Company is duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, and each such share is owned by the Company or another Subsidiary of the Company free and clear of all security interests, liens, claims, pledges, options, rights of first refusal, agreements, limitations on the Company’s or any of its Subsidiary’s voting rights, charges and other encumbrances of any nature whatsoever.

SECTION 4.04. Authority Relative to this Agreement. The Company has (subject to the required actions and proceedings described in the following sentence) all necessary power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement, to perform its obligations hereunder and to consummate the Transactions. The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Company and the consummation by the Company of the Transactions have been duly and validly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Company, and no other corporate proceedings on the part of the Company are necessary to authorize this Agreement or to consummate the Transactions (other than, with respect to the Merger, the adoption of this Agreement by the holders of a majority of the then-outstanding Shares voting together as a single class, if and to the extent required by applicable law, and the filing and recordation of appropriate merger documents as required by Delaware Law). This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Company and, assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery by Parent and Purchaser, constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditor rights and for general equitable and public policy principles. The Board has approved this Agreement and the Transactions and such approvals are sufficient so that the restrictions on, and stockholder voting requirements relating to, business combinations set forth in Section 203(a) of Delaware Law shall not apply to the Transactions.

(h) Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary of the Company has ever made or caused to be made any profit-sharing, matching or other employer contributions (other than the transmission of employees’ elective salary deferral contributions) to any Plan that is intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code.

(l) Except as set forth in Section 4.10(l) of the Disclosure Schedule, the execution, delivery of and performance by the Company of its obligations under this Agreement will not (either alone or upon occurrence of any additional or subsequent events) result in (i) the triggering or imposition of any restrictions or limitations on the right of the Company or any of its subsidiaries to amend or terminate any Plan, or (ii) “excess parachute payments” within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(1) of the Code.

SECTION 7.06. Directors’ and Officers’ Indemnification and Insurance.

(a) From and after the Acceptance Time Parent will, and will cause the Surviving Corporation to, fulfill and honor in all respects the obligations of the Company pursuant to any indemnification agreements between the Company and its directors and officers in effect immediately prior to the Acceptance Time and previously made

available to Parent prior to the execution hereof, and any indemnification and limitation of liability provisions under the Company’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws as in effect on the date hereof. The Certificate of Incorporation and By-laws of the Surviving Corporation shall contain provisions no less favorable with respect to indemnification and limitation of liability for directors, officers, employees, fiduciaries and agents (“Indemnified Parties”) than are set forth in the Restated Certificate of Incorporation and By-laws of the Company as in effect on the date hereof, which provisions shall not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified for a period of six years from the Effective Time in any manner that would affect adversely the rights thereunder of individuals who, at or prior to the Effective Time, were directors, officers, employees, fiduciaries or agents of the Company, unless such modification shall be required by law.

(b) The Company shall obtain a prepaid tail policy prior to, or contemporaneously with, the Acceptance Time, which policy provides the Indemnified Parties covered by the Company’s existing directors and officers’ liability insurance policy with directors’ and officers’ liability insurance for events occurring prior to the Acceptance Time on substantially the same terms of such existing insurance, for a period ending no earlier than the sixth anniversary of the Effective Time.

(c) In the event the Company 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 the Company or the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, or at Parent’s option, Parent, shall assume the obligations set forth in this Section 7.06.

(d) The provisions of this Section 7.06 shall survive the acceptance of Shares for payment pursuant to the Offer and the consummation of the Merger and are (i) intended to be for the benefit of, and will be enforceable by, each of the Indemnified Parties and their successors, assigns and 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.

SECTION 7.07. 401(k) Plan. The Company shall continue to operate the Company’s 401(k) plan(s) listed on Section 4.10(a) of the Disclosure Schedule in accordance with the terms of such plan(s) in effect as of the Effective Time; provided, however, that the Surviving Corporation may modify the terms of such plan(s) following the Effective Time. Continuing Employees will remain eligible to participate in such plan(s) after the Effective Time in accordance with the terms of such plan(s) then in effect after the Effective Time.

SECTION 7.08. Benefit Plans; Credit for Past Services. The Company shall not take any action to terminate or otherwise modify its benefit plans and related agreements and contracts listed on Section 4.10(a) of the Disclosure Schedule except as otherwise provided by this Agreement and unless otherwise directed by Parent. For one year following the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to continue to provide Continuing Employees with benefits (including welfare benefit and excluding equity compensation and benefits) that are substantially similar in the aggregate to the benefits currently provided by the Company (excluding equity compensation and equity benefits) as of the date of this Agreement; provided, however, that the Surviving Corporation shall not be required to provide the same benefits to Continuing Employees as those provided by Parent to its similarly situated employees. To the extent that service is relevant for eligibility, vesting or allowances (including flexible time off) under any plan, program or arrangement of Purchaser and/or the Surviving Corporation, then Parent shall ensure that such plan, program or arrangement shall, for purposes of eligibility, vesting and allowances (including flexible time off) but not for purposes of benefit accrual, credit Continuing Employees for service prior to the Effective Time with the Company and its Subsidiaries to the same extent that such service was recognized under corresponding plans, programs or arrangements of the Company as of the date of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything in Section 7.07 or this Section 7.08 to the contrary, nothing in Section 7.07 or this Section 7.08 shall be deemed to limit or otherwise affect the right of Parent, Purchaser or the Surviving Corporation (i) to terminate employment or change the place of work, responsibilities,

status or description of any employee or group of employees, or (ii) to terminate any employee benefit plan without establishing a replacement plan to the extent the Company would have had such right prior to the Effective Time, in each case as Parent, Purchaser or the Surviving Corporation may determine in its discretion.

SECTION 7.09. Notification of Certain Matters. Until the Acceptance Time: (a) the Company shall give prompt notice to Parent of (i) the occurrence of any event the occurrence of which reasonably could be expected to cause any representation or warranty of the Company contained in this Agreement to be untrue or inaccurate in any material respect such that the condition set forth in clause (e) of Annex A would not be satisfied, and (ii) any failure of the Company to comply with or satisfy in any material respect any covenant or agreement required to be complied with or satisfied by it hereunder such that, in the case of the Company, the condition set forth in clause (f) of Annex A would not be satisfied; and (b) Parent shall give prompt notice to the Company of (i) the occurrence of any event the occurrence of which reasonably could be expected to cause any representation or warranty of Parent or Purchaser contained in this Agreement to be untrue or inaccurate in any material respect, and (ii) any failure of Parent or Purchaser to comply with or satisfy in any material respect any covenant or agreement required to be complied with or satisfied by either of them hereunder; provided, however, that the delivery of any notice pursuant to this Section 7.09 shall not limit or otherwise affect the remedies available hereunder to the party receiving such notice.

SECTION 7.10. Further Action; Commercially Reasonable Efforts.

(a) Upon the terms and subject to the conditions hereof, each of the parties hereto shall (i) make promptly its respective filings, and thereafter make any other required submissions, required to be made or effected by it pursuant to the Exchange Act and other applicable legal requirements with respect to the Transactions, and (ii) use its commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all appropriate action, and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable laws and regulations to consummate and make effective the Transactions, including using its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all Permits, consents, approvals, authorizations, qualifications and orders of Governmental Authorities as are necessary for the consummation of the Transactions and to fulfill the conditions to the Offer and the Merger; provided that neither Purchaser nor Parent will be required by this Section 7.10 to take any action, including entering into any consent decree, hold separate orders or other arrangements, that (A) requires the divestiture of any assets of any of Purchaser, Parent, the Company or any of their respective subsidiaries, or (B) limits Parent’s freedom of action with respect to, or its ability to retain, the Company and the Subsidiaries of the Company or any portion thereof or any of Parent’s or its affiliates’ other assets or businesses. Except where prohibited by applicable Law, and subject to the Confidentiality Agreement, Company and Parent each shall promptly (a) supply the other with any information which may reasonably be required in order to effectuate such filings and (b) supply any additional information which reasonably may be required by antitrust, competition or merger control authorities in any competent jurisdiction and which the parties may reasonably deem appropriate.

(b) Each of the parties hereto agrees to cooperate and use its commercially reasonable efforts to contest and resist any Action, including administrative or judicial Action, and to have vacated, lifted, reversed or overturned any decree, judgment, injunction or other order (whether temporary, preliminary or permanent) that is in effect and that restricts, prevents or prohibits consummation of the Transactions, including by using commercially reasonable efforts to pursue all available avenues of administrative and judicial appeal.

(c) From the date hereof until the Acceptance Time, Parent, Purchaser and the Company will, and shall cause their subsidiaries to, use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause all conditions set forth in Annex A to be satisfied on a timely basis.

(d) Parent will take all action necessary to cause Purchaser to perform all of Purchaser’s covenants, agreements and other obligations under this Agreement and to accept Shares for payment pursuant to the Offer the Offer and consummate the Merger on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement.

SECTION 7.11. Public Announcements. Parent, Purchaser and the Company agree that no public release or announcement concerning the Transactions, the Offer or the Merger shall be issued by any party without the prior written consent of the other parties (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), except as such release or announcement may be required by Law or the rules or regulations of any securities exchange, in which case the party required to make the release or announcement shall use its best efforts to allow the other party reasonable time to comment on such release or announcement in advance of such issuance. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company need not consult with Parent in connection with any press release or public statement to be issued or made with respect to any Superior Proposal or with respect to any withdrawal, amendment, change or modification of the Board’s recommendation that holders of Shares tender their Shares pursuant to the Offer which is taken in compliance with Section 7.05(c).
