AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER, dated as of June 8, 2012 (this “Agreement”), by and among Mercury Computer Systems, Inc., a Massachusetts corporation (“Parent”), Wildcat Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), and Micronetics, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”). All capitalized terms used in this Agreement shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in Section 8.4 or as otherwise defined elsewhere in this Agreement unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.

RECITALS

WHEREAS, the respective Boards of Directors of Parent (the “Parent Board”), Merger Sub and the Company (the “Company Board”) have each approved this Agreement and the merger of Merger Sub with and into the Company (the “Merger”) upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement;

WHEREAS, the Company Board has, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, unanimously (i) determined that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the Merger, are fair to and in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders, and (ii) approved and declared advisable this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, including the Merger;

WHEREAS, Parent, Merger Sub, and the Company desire to make certain representations, warranties, covenants and agreements in connection with the Merger and also to prescribe various conditions to the Merger; and

WHEREAS, concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement and as a condition to the willingness of Parent and Merger Sub to enter into this Agreement, certain stockholders of the Company are entering into separate Voting Agreements with Parent (the “Voting Agreements”), pursuant to which such stockholders shall agree, among other things, to take certain actions in furtherance of the Merger.

AGREEMENT

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

ARTICLE 1

THE MERGER

1.1 The Merger.

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

(b) At the Effective Time, the certificate of incorporation of the Company shall be amended to read in its entirety as set forth in Exhibit A hereto, and, as so amended, shall be the certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter changed or amended as provided therein or herein or by applicable Law. In addition, at the Effective Time, the bylaws of the Company shall be amended to read in their entirety as set forth in Exhibit B hereto, and, as so amended, shall be the bylaws of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter changed or amended as provided therein or by applicable Law.

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

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

1.2 Closing and Effective Time of the Merger. The closing of the Merger (the “Closing”) will take place at 10:00 a.m., Boston, Massachusetts time, on a date to be specified by the parties (the “Closing Date”), such date to be no later than the second Business Day after satisfaction or waiver of all of the conditions set forth in Article 6 (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the fulfillment or waiver of those conditions at the Closing), at the offices of Xxxxxx & Xxxxxxx LLP, 000 Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, 00^xx Xxxxx, Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxxxxx 00000, unless another time, date or place is agreed to in writing by the parties hereto. Concurrently with the Closing, the Company shall cause an appropriate certificate of merger (the “Certificate of Merger”) to be executed, acknowledged and filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware in accordance with the relevant provisions of the DGCL and shall make all other filings or recordings required under the DGCL. The Merger shall become effective at such time the Certificate of Merger shall have been duly filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware or such other date and time as is agreed upon by Parent and the Company and specified in the Certificate of Merger, such date and time hereinafter referred to as the “Effective Time”.

ARTICLE 2

EFFECT OF THE MERGER ON CAPITAL STOCK

2.1 Conversion of Securities. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or the holders of any of capital stock or other securities of Parent, Merger Sub or the Company:

(a) Conversion of Common Stock. Subject to Section 2.2, each share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company (a “Share” or collectively, the “Shares”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, other than Shares to be cancelled in accordance with Section 2.1(b) and other than Dissenting Shares, shall be converted into the right to receive $14.80 in cash, without interest (the “Per Share Amount”).

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

(c) Merger Sub Common Stock. Each share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and become one newly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock of the Surviving Corporation.

The cash to be paid upon the conversion of Shares pursuant to Section 2.1(a) is referred to herein as the “Merger Consideration”. At the Effective Time, all of the Shares shall cease to be outstanding, shall be cancelled and shall cease to exist, and each certificate (a “Certificate”) formerly representing any of the Shares (other than Shares to be cancelled in accordance with Section 2.1(b) and other than Dissenting Shares) shall thereafter represent only the right to receive the Merger Consideration, in each case without interest, subject to compliance with the procedures for surrender of such Shares as set forth in Section 2.2. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if, from the date of this Agreement until the Effective Time, the outstanding shares of Common Stock or the securities convertible into or exercisable for shares of Common Stock shall have been changed into a different number of shares or a different class by reason of any reclassification, stock split (including a reverse stock split), recapitalization, split-up, combination, exchange of shares, readjustment, or other similar transaction, or a stock dividend or stock distribution thereon shall be declared with a record date within said period, the Merger Consideration and any other similarly dependent items, as the case may be, shall be appropriately adjusted to provide the holders of Shares the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such event.

2.2 Payment for Securities; Surrender of Certificates.

(a) Payment Agent. At or immediately following the Effective Time, Parent shall deposit or shall cause to be deposited with a nationally recognized financial institution designated by Parent and reasonably acceptable to the Company (the “Payment Agent”) in immediately available funds all of the cash necessary to pay the Merger Consideration (such cash deposited with the Payment Agent being hereinafter referred to as the “Payment Fund”). The Payment Fund shall be invested by the Payment Agent, as directed by Parent, in short-term obligations of the United States of America with maturities of no more than 30 days or other investments designated by Parent from an investment menu approved by the Company prior to the Effective Time (with such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), pending payment thereof by the Payment Agent to the holders of Shares pursuant to this Article 2. The Payment Agent shall, pursuant to irrevocable instructions, deliver the cash contemplated to be paid pursuant to Section 2.1 out of the Payment Fund. The Payment Fund shall not be used for any other purpose.

(b) Procedures for Surrender. As promptly as practicable after the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Payment Agent to mail to each holder of record of a Certificate or non-certificated Shares represented by book-entry (“Book-Entry Shares”), in each case whose Shares were converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration at the Effective Time pursuant to this Agreement: (i) a letter of transmittal, which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of the Certificates to the Payment Agent, and shall otherwise be in such form and have such other provisions as Parent may reasonably specify and as reasonably approved by the Company prior to the Effective Time, and (ii) instructions for effecting the surrender of the Certificates or Book-Entry Shares in exchange for payment of the Merger Consideration. Upon surrender of Certificates for cancellation to the Payment Agent or to such other agent or agents as may be appointed by Parent (or an affidavit of loss in lieu thereof and in compliance with paragraph (f) below), and upon delivery of a letter of transmittal, duly executed and in proper form, with respect to such Certificates or Book-Entry Shares, and such other documents as may reasonably be required by the Payment Agent, and subject to any withholding as provided in paragraph (e) below, the holder of such Certificates or Book-Entry Shares shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor the amount of cash into which

each Share formerly represented by such Certificates and each Book-Entry Share was converted pursuant to Section 2.1(a), and the Certificates so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled. In the event of a transfer of ownership of Common Stock that is not registered in the transfer records of the Company, payment of Merger Consideration may be made to a Person other than the Person in whose name the Certificate so surrendered is registered, if such Certificate shall be properly endorsed or shall otherwise be in proper form for transfer and the Person requesting such payment shall pay any transfer and other similar Taxes required by reason of the payment of the Merger Consideration to a Person other than the registered holder of the Certificate so surrendered or shall establish to the satisfaction of Parent that such Taxes either have been paid or are not required to be paid. Payment of the Merger Consideration with respect to Book-Entry Shares shall only be made to the Person in whose name such Book-Entry Shares are registered. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 2.2, each Certificate and each Book-Entry Share shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive the Merger Consideration into which the Shares theretofore represented by such Certificate or Book-Entry Share having been converted pursuant to Section 2.1(a). No interest shall be paid or accrue on any cash payable upon surrender of any Certificate or Book-Entry Share.

(c) Transfer Books; No Further Ownership Rights in Shares. As of the close of business on the date of the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed and thereafter there shall be no further registration of transfers of Shares on the records of the Company. The Merger Consideration paid in accordance with the terms of this Article 2 upon conversion of any Shares shall be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such Shares. From and after the Effective Time, the holders of Shares outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall cease to have any rights with respect to such Shares except as otherwise provided for herein or by applicable Law. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates are presented to the Surviving Corporation for any reason, they shall be cancelled and exchanged as provided in this Agreement.

(d) Termination of Fund; Abandoned Property; No Liability. At any time following 12 months after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall be entitled to require the Payment Agent to deliver to it any portion of the Payment Fund (including any interest received with respect thereto) not disbursed to holders of Shares, and thereafter such holders shall be entitled to look only to the Surviving Corporation (subject to abandoned property, escheat or other similar Laws) as general creditors thereof with respect to the Merger Consideration payable upon due surrender of their Shares and compliance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.2(b), without interest. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Surviving Corporation nor the Payment Agent shall be liable to any holder of a Share for Merger Consideration delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law.

(e) Withholding Rights. Parent, Merger Sub, the Surviving Corporation and the Payment Agent, as the case may be, shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the Merger Consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder of Shares or from the Option Payments to be paid with respect to Vested Options pursuant to Section 2.4, as applicable, such amounts that Parent, Merger Sub, the Surviving Corporation or the Payment Agent is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code or any other provision of applicable Law; provided that any transfer or other similar Taxes payable in connection with the Merger (other than such Taxes required to be paid by reason of the payment of the Merger Consideration or Option Payments to a Person other than the holder of record of the Shares or holder of Vested Options with respect to which such payment is made) shall be paid by Parent and Merger Sub. Parent, Merger Sub, the Surviving Corporation and the Payment Agent, as applicable, shall timely remit to the appropriate Governmental Entity any and all amounts so deducted or withheld. To the extent that amounts are so withheld by Parent, Merger Sub, the Surviving Corporation or the Payment Agent, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of Shares or Vested Options, as applicable, in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made by Parent, Merger Sub, the Surviving Corporation or the Payment Agent.

(f) Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. In the event that any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, the Payment Agent shall issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificates, upon the

making of an affidavit of that fact by the holder thereof in a form reasonably acceptable to Parent, the Merger Consideration payable or deliverable in respect thereof pursuant to this Agreement; provided, however, that Parent may, in its reasonable discretion and as a condition precedent to the payment of such Merger Consideration, require the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate to deliver a bond in such sum as Parent and the Company may reasonably direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against Parent, Merger Sub, the Surviving Corporation or the Payment Agent with respect to the Certificate alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.

2.3 Dissenting Shares. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Shares outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and held by a holder who is entitled to demand and has properly demanded appraisal for such Shares in accordance with, and who complies with, Section 262 of the DGCL (such Shares, “Dissenting Shares”) shall not be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration as provided in Section 2.1(a), and shall instead represent the right to receive the fair value of such Dissenting Shares in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL. If any such holder fails to perfect or otherwise waives, withdraws or loses his right to appraisal under Section 262 of the DGCL or other applicable Law, then such Dissenting Shares shall be deemed to be Shares that have been converted as of the Effective Time into, and to have become exchangeable solely for, the right to receive the Merger Consideration as provided in Section 2.1(a) and Section 2.2, without interest. The Company shall give Parent and Merger Sub prompt notice of any demands received by the Company for appraisal of Shares, and Parent and Merger Sub shall have the right to participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demands except as required by applicable Law. The Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of Parent, make any payment with respect to any demands for fair value for Dissenting Shares or offer to settle, settle or negotiate in respect of any such demands.

2.4 Treatment of Company Options, Stock Plans.

(a) Treatment of Options. As of the Effective Time, each outstanding option to purchase Shares (the “Company Options”), under any stock option plan of the Company, including the Micronetics 2006 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended, and any other plan, agreement or arrangement of the Company or any Company Subsidiary described in Section 2.4 of the Company Disclosure Letter (collectively, the “Company Equity Plans”), which is vested immediately prior to the Effective Time (each, a “Vested Option”) shall be cancelled and, in exchange therefor, each former holder of any such cancelled Vested Option shall be entitled to receive, in consideration of the cancellation of such Vested Option and in settlement therefor, a payment in cash (subject to any withholding in accordance with Section 2.2(e)) of an amount equal to the product of (i) the total number of Shares previously subject to such Vested Option and (ii) the excess, if any, of the Per Share Amount over the exercise price per Share previously subject to such Vested Option (such amounts payable hereunder, the “Option Payments”). From and after the Effective Time, any such cancelled Vested Option shall no longer be exercisable by the former holder thereof, but shall only entitle such holder to the payment of the Option Payment. Effective as of the Effective Time, Parent shall assume the Company Equity Plans and each Company Option, which is unvested immediately prior to the Effective Time (each, an “Assumed Company Option”) together with the option agreements representing each such Assumed Company Option; provided, however that the Parent shall not assume the Micronetics 2003 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended or any Company Options issued thereunder. Each Assumed Company Option shall thereafter be exercisable for such number of shares of Parent’s common stock, par value $.01 per share (the “Parent Common Stock”) as equals the number of shares of Common Stock subject to such Assumed Company Option multiplied by the Option Exchange Ratio (rounded down to the nearest whole number). The exercise price per share of each such Assumed Company Option shall be equal to the exercise price per share set forth in the option agreement for such Assumed Company Option divided by the Option Exchange Ratio (rounded up to the next whole cent). The Company and the administrator of the Company Equity Plans shall each provide reasonable cooperation to the Parent in connection with its assumption of the Company Equity Plans and Assumed Company Options on the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 2.4 including providing necessary information and any notices to employees. For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing adjustments shall be effected in a manner consistent with Section 424(a) of the Code. “Option Exchange Ratio” means the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the Per Share Amount by (ii) the average closing

price of a share of Parent Common Stock as reported on the Nasdaq Global Select Market during the 20 trading-day period ending on the second to last Nasdaq trading day immediately prior to the Closing Date. Attached as Exhibit E is a model calculation for the Option Exchange Ratio and the number and exercise price for the Assumed Company Options.

(b) Amendment of Company Equity Plans. After the Effective Time, all Company Equity Plans shall be amended to provide that no further Company Options or other rights with respect to Shares shall be granted thereunder.

(c) Parent Funding. Not less than 15 days prior to the Closing, the Parent and the Company will agree on whether the payments to be made pursuant to this Section 2.4 will be made using the Payment Agent, or the Company’s payroll system, and at or immediately following the Effective Time, Parent shall either (i) make a cash contribution to the Surviving Corporation in immediately available funds to permit the Surviving Corporation to make the payments required under this Section 2.4 or (ii) transfer an amount of cash to the Payment Agent sufficient to make the payments required under this Section 2.4. The Company and the Parent will also agree on the form of transmittal letter to be used and other procedures in connection with making such payments.

ARTICLE 3

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE COMPANY

Except as set forth in, or qualified by any matter set forth in, the Company SEC Documents filed with or furnished to the SEC since April 1, 2011 and prior to the date of this Agreement (excluding any disclosures contained under the heading “Risk Factors” or included in any section relating to “forward-looking statements” to the extent that they are cautionary, predictive or forward-looking in nature and excluding the other sections set forth in Section 3 of the Company Disclosure Letter referred to below) or except as set forth in the disclosure letter delivered by the Company to Parent and Merger Sub prior to the execution of this Agreement (the “Company Disclosure Letter”) (with disclosure of any item on such Company Disclosure Letter by reference to any particular Section or Subsection of this Agreement being deemed to constitute disclosure with respect to any other Section or Subsection of this Agreement if the relevance of such disclosure to such other Section or Subsection is reasonably apparent on the face of such disclosure), the Company hereby represents and warrants to Parent and Merger Sub as follows:

3.1 Organization and Qualification; Subsidiaries.

(a) The Company and each Company Subsidiary is a corporation or other legal entity duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the Laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or organization and has requisite corporate or organizational, as the case may be, power and authority to own, lease and operate its properties and assets and to carry on its business as it is now being conducted. The Company and each Company Subsidiary is duly qualified or licensed to do business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction where the ownership, leasing or operation of its properties or assets or the conduct of its business requires such qualification or license, except where the failure to be so qualified, licensed or in good standing, individually or in the aggregate, has not had and would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(b) The Company has made available to Parent, prior to the date hereof, true and complete copies of (i) the Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, of the Company (the “Company Charter”), (ii) the Amended and Restated Bylaws, of the Company (the “Company Bylaws”), and (iii) the certificate of incorporation, or equivalent organizational document, of each Company Subsidiary, each as in effect as of the date hereof.

(c) Section 3.1 of the Company Disclosure Letter sets forth a true and complete list of the Subsidiaries of the Company (each a “Company Subsidiary” and collectively, the “Company Subsidiaries”), together with the jurisdiction of organization or incorporation, as the case may be, of each Company Subsidiary and the jurisdictions in which each Company Subsidiary is authorized to conduct business.

3.2 Capitalization.

(a) The authorized capital stock of the Company consists of (i) 10,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), of which, as of the close of business on June 8, 2012, there were 4,575,663 shares issued and outstanding (excluding 837,554 shares of Common Stock held in treasury), and (ii) 100,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.10 per share (the “Preferred Stock”), of which, as of the close of business on June 8, 2012, no shares were issued and outstanding. All of the outstanding shares of Common Stock have been duly authorized and validly issued and are fully paid, nonassessable and free of preemptive rights.

(b) As of the close of business on June 8, 2012, the Company has no shares of Common Stock or Preferred Stock reserved for or otherwise subject to issuance, except for (i) 457,000 shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance pursuant to the Company Equity Plans for outstanding Company Options and (ii) 511,000 shares of Common Stock reserved for future issuance pursuant to the Company Equity Plans.

(c) Except for Company Options for not more than 457,000 shares of Common Stock, there are no (i) options, warrants or other rights relating to any Equity Interests of the Company or any Company Subsidiary or (ii) agreements or arrangements obligating the Company or any Company Subsidiary to issue, acquire or sell any Equity Interests of the Company or any Company Subsidiary. Since the close of business on June 8, 2012, the Company has not issued any shares of Common Stock or other Equity Interest. Section 3.2(c) of the Company Disclosure Letter lists, as of the date of this Agreement, all of the outstanding Company Options, and names of the holders of the Company Options, the exercise prices, and how many Company Options are vested as of the date of this Agreement. The Company has previously furnished to the Parent true and correct copies of all outstanding agreements evidencing all outstanding Company Options.

(d) There are no bonds, debentures, notes or other indebtedness of the Company or any Company Subsidiary having the right to vote (or convertible into, or exchangeable for, securities having the right to vote) on any matters on which holders of capital stock of the Company or any Equity Interest of any Company Subsidiary may vote.

(e) Except with respect to the Company Options and the related award agreements, there are no outstanding obligations of the Company (i) requiring the repurchase, redemption or disposition of, or containing any right of first refusal with respect to, (ii) requiring the registration for sale of or (iii) granting any preemptive or antidilutive rights with respect to, any Equity Interests in the Company or any Company Subsidiary.

(f) The Company or another Company Subsidiary owns, directly or indirectly, all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock or other Equity Interests of each of the Company Subsidiaries, free and clear of any Liens (other than transfer and other restrictions under applicable federal and state securities Laws), and all of such shares of capital stock or other Equity Interests have been duly authorized and validly issued and are fully paid, nonassessable and free of preemptive rights. Except for Equity Interests in the Company Subsidiaries, neither the Company nor any Company Subsidiary owns directly or indirectly any Equity Interest in any Person, or has any obligation to acquire any such Equity Interest, or to provide funds to or make any investment (in the form of a loan, capital contribution or otherwise) in, any Company Subsidiary or any other Person. There are no outstanding obligations to which the Company or any Company Subsidiary is a party (i) restricting the transfer of, or (ii) limiting the exercise of voting rights with respect to, any Equity Interests in any Company Subsidiary.

3.3 Authority.

(a) The Company has all requisite power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement, to perform its obligations hereunder and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, including the Merger, subject to receipt of the Company Stockholder Approval and any regulatory approvals referenced in Section 3.5(a) of the Company Disclosure Letter. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by

The Company shall reasonably consider but shall not be under any obligation to accept or incorporate any comments received from Parent with respect to the Proxy Statement or any comments of the SEC or its staff on the Proxy Statement or any amendments or supplements thereto; provided, however, that the Company shall accept and incorporate any such comments received from Parent that are necessary to correct any information provided by Parent for use in the Proxy Statement if and to the extent that such information shall have become false or misleading in any material respect or as otherwise required by applicable Laws. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to have the Proxy Statement cleared by the SEC as promptly as reasonably practicable after it is filed. The Company shall cause the Proxy Statement to be mailed to the Company’s stockholders as promptly as practicable after the earlier of (i) receiving notification that the SEC or its staff is not reviewing the Proxy Statement or (ii) the conclusion of any SEC or staff review of the Proxy Statement. Subject to Section 5.5, the Company shall include in the Proxy Statement the recommendation of the Company Board that the stockholders of the Company vote in favor of the adoption of this Agreement in accordance with the DGCL (the “Company Recommendation”).

(b) The Company shall take all action necessary in accordance with and subject to the requirements of applicable Law: (i) in consultation with Parent, to call, give notice of, convene and hold the Company Stockholder Meeting to vote on a proposal to adopt this Agreement and any other related matters to implement the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; (ii) shall submit such proposal to such holders at the Company Stockholder Meeting and shall not submit any other proposal to such stockholders in connection with the Company Stockholder Meeting without the prior written consent of Parent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned); and (iii) subject to Section 5.5, use its reasonable best efforts to obtain the Company Stockholder Approval; provided, however, that the Company may postpone or adjourn the Company Stockholder Meeting: (v) with the consent of Parent, which, upon the receipt by Parent of a written request from the Company for such consent, shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; (w) for the absence of a quorum; (x) to allow additional time for the filing and mailing of any supplement or amendment to the Proxy Statement which the Company Board has determined is necessary under applicable Law and for such supplement or amendment to be disseminated and reviewed by the Company’s stockholders prior to the Company Stockholder Meeting; or (y) if necessary, to solicit additional proxies in the event that there are not sufficient votes at the time of the meeting to adopt this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, unless this Agreement has been terminated pursuant to Article 7, the Company shall submit this Agreement for the adoption by its stockholders at the Company Stockholder Meeting, whether or not a Change of Company Board Recommendation shall have occurred or an Acquisition Proposal shall have been publicly announced or otherwise made known to the Company or the Company Board and nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to relieve the Company of such obligation.

(a) Subject to Sections 5.5(b), 5.5(d), 5.5(e) and 5.5(f), from and after the date hereof until the Effective Time or, if earlier, the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Article 7, the Company shall not, and shall cause the Company Subsidiaries not to, and shall instruct the Company Representatives not to:

(i) directly or indirectly initiate, solicit or participate or knowingly or intentionally take any action to encourage, facilitate or assist the submission or making of any Acquisition Proposal or the making of any inquiry, proposal or other offer that would reasonably be expected to lead to any Acquisition Proposal or engage or participate in or continue any discussions or negotiations, or disclose to any other Person non-public information relating to the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries with respect thereto or in connection therewith;

The Company shall, and shall cause the Company Subsidiaries and Company Representatives to, promptly cease and immediately cause to be terminated any activities, discussion or negotiation with any Persons conducted prior to the date hereof with respect to any Acquisition Proposal. The Company agrees that any breach of this Section 5.5(a) by any Company Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Company or any Company Representatives shall constitute a breach of this Section 5.5(a) by the Company.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 5.5(a), if at any time following the date hereof and prior to receipt of the Company Stockholder Approval (i) the Company, any Company Subsidiary or any Company Representative receives an Acquisition Proposal involving the Company from a third party or group of third party Persons that was not solicited by the Company, the Company Subsidiaries or the Company Representatives and that did not otherwise result from a breach of this Section 5.5 in any material respect and (ii) the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisors and outside counsel, that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes or is reasonably likely to result in a Superior Proposal, then the Company may (A) furnish information (including non-public information) with respect to the Company and the Company Subsidiaries to the Person or group of Persons making such Acquisition Proposal and to his, her, its or their respective representatives (including their respective potential financing sources), and (B) engage in or otherwise participate in discussions or negotiations with the Person or group of Persons making such Acquisition Proposal and his, her, its or their respective representatives (including their respective potential financing sources) regarding such Acquisition Proposal or any proposal, inquiry or offer that would reasonably be expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal; provided that the Company (x) will not, and will not allow the Company Subsidiaries and the Company Representatives to, disclose any information to such Person or group of Persons without first entering into an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement with such Person and (y) will as promptly as practicable provide or make available to Parent any information concerning the Company or the Company Subsidiaries provided or made available to such other Person (or its representatives) which was not previously provided or made available to Parent (except to the extent the disclosure of such information to Parent would result in a competitor of the Company receiving competitively sensitive information).

(c) The Company shall promptly (and in any event within 36 hours) notify Parent in the event that the Company receives any Acquisition Proposal, including the identity of the third party making such Acquisition Proposal, and the terms and conditions of any such Acquisition Proposal that were provided to the Company or a Company Representative in any written form (including e-mail) and the material terms of any Acquisition

Proposal provided to the Company or any Company Representative orally. As promptly as reasonably practicable following the Company first taking such actions as described in subclauses (A) or (B) of paragraph (b) above (and in any event within 24 hours), the Company shall provide written notice to Parent of such determination as provided for in clause (ii) of paragraph (b) above. The Company shall keep Parent fully informed, on a prompt basis (and, in addition, will provide daily updates if requested by the Parent), of the status and terms of any such Acquisition Proposal, including any amendments as to price and other material amendments to other terms thereof.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 5.5(a), if the Company receives a Superior Proposal (determined to constitute such by the Company Board), the Company Board may at any time prior to the receipt of Company Stockholder Approval (i) effect a Change of Company Board Recommendation with respect to such Superior Proposal and/or (ii) terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 7.1(f) to enter into (or permit any Company Subsidiary to enter into) a definitive agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal, if: (A) the Company promptly notifies Parent, in writing, at least four (4) Business Days (the “Notice Period”) before making a Change of Company Board Recommendation or entering into (or causing any Company Subsidiary to enter into) a definitive agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal, of its intention to take such action with respect to such a Superior Proposal which notice shall state expressly (to the extent known by the Company Board) that the Company has received an Acquisition Proposal that the Company Board intends to declare a Superior Proposal and that the Company Board intends to make a Change of Company Board Recommendation and/or the Company intends to enter into a definitive agreement with respect to a Superior Proposal; (B) the Company attaches to such notice the most current version of the proposed agreement (and provides updated information as may be required under paragraph (c) above; (C) the Company shall, and shall cause the Company Subsidiaries to, and shall use reasonable best efforts to cause its Representatives to, during the Notice Period, negotiate with Parent in good faith to make such adjustments in the terms and conditions of this Agreement so that such Acquisition Proposal ceases to constitute a Superior Proposal, if Parent, in its discretion, proposes to make such adjustments (it being agreed that in the event that, after commencement of the Notice Period, there is any material revision to the terms of a Superior Proposal, including, any revision in price, the Notice Period shall be extended, if applicable, to ensure that at least two (2) Business Days remain in the Notice Period subsequent to the time that the Company notifies Parent of any such material revision (it being understood that there may be multiple extensions)); and (D) the Company Board determines in good faith, after consulting with outside legal counsel and its financial advisors, that such Superior Proposal continues to constitute a Superior Proposal after taking into account any adjustments made in writing by Parent during the Notice Period in the terms and conditions of this Agreement; provided, further, that the Company shall not terminate this Agreement pursuant to the foregoing clause (ii) unless in advance of or concurrently with such termination the Company pays the Termination Fee.

(e) If prior to the receipt of the Company Stockholder Approval, other than in connection with an Acquisition Proposal the Company Board determines in good faith, in response to the occurrence of a Company Intervening Event and after consultation with its financial advisors and outside counsel, that the failure of the Company Board to effect a Change of Company Board Recommendation would be inconsistent with the fiduciary duties of the Company Board to the Company’s stockholders under applicable Law, then, prior to the receipt of the Company Stockholder Approval, the Company Board may effect a Change of Company Board Recommendation (a “Permitted Change of Recommendation”), provided that the Company shall have first provided four (4) Business Days’ prior written notice (“Notice of a Proposed Change of Company Board Recommendation”) to Parent that it is prepared to effect a Permitted Change of Recommendation in response to a Company Intervening Event and describing such Company Intervening Event and during such four (4) Business Day period, if requested by Parent, engaged in, and used reasonable best efforts to cause its Representatives to have engaged in, good faith negotiations with Parent and its Parent Representatives to amend this Agreement and at the end of such four (4) Business Day period, the Company Board, after taking into account all changes, which have not been withdrawn, to the terms of this Agreement, proposed in writing by Parent following such Notice of a Proposed Change of Company Board Recommendation, again determines in good faith that the failure to effect a Change of Company Board Recommendation would be inconsistent with the fiduciary duties of the Company

Board to the Company’s stockholders under applicable Law. As used in this Agreement, “Company Intervening Event” means an event or circumstances material to the Company and the Company Subsidiaries, taken as a whole (other than any event or circumstance resulting from a breach of this Agreement by the Company or the Company Subsidiaries), that was unknown to the Company Board on the date hereof (or if known, the consequences of which were not known or reasonably foreseeable), which event or circumstance (or consequences) becomes known to the Company Board prior to the Company Stockholder Approval; provided, however, that (A) in no event shall the receipt, existence or terms of an Acquisition Proposal, or any inquiry or matter relating thereto or consequence thereof, constitute a Company Intervening Event, and (B) in no event shall any increase in the market price of the Shares, in and of itself, constitute a Company Intervening Event (provided that the event or circumstance underlying such increase in the market price of the Shares shall not be excluded, and may be taken into account, in determining whether there is a Company Intervening Event).

(f) During the period from the date of this Agreement through the earlier of the Effective Time and the date of termination of this Agreement, the Company shall not terminate, amend, modify or waive any provision of any confidentiality agreement relating to an Acquisition Proposal or standstill agreement to which the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries is a party (other than any involving Parent). During such period, the Company agrees to use reasonable best efforts to enforce, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law, the provisions of any such agreement, including requesting in writing that any such third Person (or its agents or advisors) in possession of non-public information in respect of the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries that was furnished on or behalf of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries return or destroy (and confirm destruction of) all such information, and make follow up requests if needed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may waive and may choose not to enforce any such standstill if the Company Board, determines in good faith after consultation with its financial advisors and legal counsel, that the failure to do so would be reasonably likely to be inconsistent with the fiduciary duties of the Company Board to the Company’s stockholders under applicable Law and provided that the Company provide a similar waiver of any standstill obligations of the Parent under this Agreement and the Confidentiality Agreement.

(g) Nothing contained in this Section 5.5 shall prohibit the Company Board from (i) disclosing to the stockholders of the Company a position contemplated by Rule 14e-2(a), Rule 14d-9 or Item 1012(a) of Regulation M-A promulgated under the Exchange Act; or (ii) making any disclosure to the stockholders of the Company if the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with outside counsel, that the failure to make such disclosure would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties to the stockholders of the Company (for the avoidance of doubt, it being agreed that the issuance by the Company or the Company Board of a “stop, look and listen” statement pending disclosure of its position, as contemplated by Rules 14d-9 and 14e-2(a) promulgated under the Exchange Act, shall not constitute a Change of Company Board Recommendation).

5.6 Appropriate Action; Consents; Filings.

(a) The Company and Parent shall use their reasonable best efforts to (i) take, or cause to be taken, all appropriate action and do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable Law or otherwise to consummate and make effective, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including transactions under the Voting Agreements, as promptly as practicable, (ii) obtain from any Governmental Entities any consents, licenses, permits, waivers, approvals, authorizations or orders required to be obtained by Parent or the Company or any of their respective Subsidiaries, or to avoid any action or proceeding by any Governmental Entity (including, those in connection with the HSR Act to the extent required), in connection with the authorization, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, (iii) cause the satisfaction of all conditions set forth in Article 6, (iv) vigorously defend all lawsuits or other legal, regulatory or other proceedings to which it is a party challenging or affecting this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, in each case until the issuance of a final, non-appealable order, (v) seek to have lifted or rescinded any injunction or restraining order which may adversely affect the ability of the parties to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, in each case until the issuance of a final, non-appealable order, and (vi) as

promptly as practicable, and in any event within 15 days after the date hereof, make or cause to be made all necessary applications and filings, and thereafter make any other required submissions, and pay any fees due in connection therewith, with respect to this Agreement and the Merger required under the HSR Act and any other applicable Law; provided, that the Company and Parent shall cooperate with each other in connection with determining whether any action by or in respect of, or filing with, any Governmental Entity is required in connection with the consummation of the Merger and seeking any such actions, consents, approvals or waivers or making any such filings. The Company and Parent shall furnish to each other all information required for any application or other filing under the rules and regulations of any applicable Law in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. No party to this Agreement shall consent to any voluntary delay of the Closing at the behest of any Governmental Entity without the consent of the other parties to this Agreement, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. Parent will not, except as may be consented to in writing by the Company, directly or indirectly through one or more of its Affiliates, take any action, including acquiring or making any investment in any corporation, partnership, limited liability company or other business organization or any division or assets thereof, that would reasonably be expected to cause a material delay in the satisfaction of the conditions contained in Article 6 or the consummation of the Merger. Without limiting this Section 5.6(a), Parent agrees to use reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, any and all steps and to make, or cause to be made, any and all undertakings necessary to avoid or eliminate each and every impediment under any antitrust, merger control, competition, or trade regulation Law or any other Law applicable to Parent, the Company, any Company Subsidiary or the Merger that may be asserted by any Governmental Entity with respect to the Merger so as to enable the Effective Time and the Closing, respectively, to occur as promptly as practicable (and in any event, no later than the Extended Outside Date), but excluding (A) proposing, negotiating, committing to, and effecting, by consent decree, hold separate order, or otherwise, the sale, divestiture, licensing or disposition of such assets or businesses of Parent or the Company or any of their respective Subsidiaries or (B) accepting any operational or reporting restrictions or requirements, including restrictions on the ability to change rates or charges or standards of service, or otherwise taking or committing to take actions that limit Parent’s or any Parent Subsidiary’s freedom of action with respect to, or its ability to retain or freely operate, any of the assets, properties, licenses, rights, product lines, operations or businesses of Parent, the Company or any of their respective Subsidiaries, in each case whether or not required in order to avoid the commencement of any proceeding seeking, avoid the entry of, or to effect the lifting or dissolution of, any injunction, temporary restraining order, or other order in any suit or proceeding, and whether or not this would otherwise have the effect of preventing or delaying the Effective Time or the Closing, as applicable (with any of the foregoing referred to as a “Material Regulatory Restriction”).

(b) The Company shall give (or shall cause the Company Subsidiaries to give) any notices to third parties, and use, and cause the Company Subsidiaries to use, their reasonable best efforts to obtain any third party consents (i) necessary, proper or advisable to consummate the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including transactions under the Voting Agreements, or (ii) disclosed in the Company Disclosure Letter; provided, however that the Company and Parent shall coordinate and cooperate in determining whether any actions, consents, approvals or waivers are required to be obtained from parties to any Company Material Contracts in connection with consummation of the Merger and in seeking any such actions, consents, approvals or waivers. The Parent will use reasonable best efforts to cooperate with all of the foregoing. In the event that the Company shall fail to obtain any third party consent described in this Section 5.6(b), the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts, and shall take any such actions reasonably requested by the other party hereto, to minimize any adverse effect upon the Company and Parent, their respective Subsidiaries, and their respective businesses resulting, or which could reasonably be expected to result, after the Effective Time, as applicable, from the failure to obtain such consent.

(c) Without limiting the generality of anything contained in this Section 5.6, each party hereto shall: (i) give the other parties prompt notice of the making or commencement of any request, inquiry, investigation, action or legal proceeding by or before any Governmental Entity with respect to the Merger or any of the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including transactions under the Voting Agreements; (ii) keep the other parties informed as to the status of any such request, inquiry, investigation, action or legal proceeding; and

(iii) promptly inform the other parties of any communication to or from the Federal Trade Commission, the Department of Justice or any other Governmental Entity regarding the Merger. Each party hereto will consult and cooperate with the other parties and will consider in good faith the views of the other parties in connection with any filing, analysis, appearance, presentation, memorandum, brief, argument, opinion or proposal made or submitted in connection with the Merger, or any of the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including transactions under the Voting Agreements. In addition, except as may be prohibited by any Governmental Entity or by any Law, in connection with any such request, inquiry, investigation, action or legal proceeding, each party hereto will permit authorized representatives of the other parties 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 document, opinion or proposal made or submitted to any Governmental Entity in connection with such request, inquiry, investigation, action or legal proceeding.

(d) Nothing contained in this Agreement shall give Parent or Merger Sub, directly or indirectly, the right to control or direct the operations of the Company prior to the Effective Time. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall exercise, consistent with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, complete unilateral control and supervision over its business operations.

5.7 Certain Notices. From and after the date of this Agreement until the Effective Time, each party hereto shall promptly notify the other party hereto of (a) the occurrence or non-occurrence of any event that would be likely to cause any condition to the obligations of any party to effect the Merger or any other transaction contemplated by this Agreement not to be satisfied or (b) the failure of the Company, Parent or Merger Sub, as the case may be, to comply with or satisfy any covenant, condition or agreement to be complied with or satisfied by it pursuant to this Agreement which would reasonably be expected to result in any condition to the obligations of any party to effect the Merger or any other transaction contemplated by this Agreement not to be satisfied; provided, however, that the delivery of any notice pursuant to this Section 5.7 or the failure to provide any such notice shall not cure any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement or otherwise limit or affect the remedies available hereunder to the party receiving such notice or providing such notice or obligated to provide such notice, as applicable.

5.8 Public Announcements. Each of the Company, Parent and Merger Sub agrees that no public release or announcement concerning the transactions contemplated hereby shall be issued by any party without the prior written consent of the Company and Parent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), except as such release or announcement may be required by applicable Law or the rules or regulations of any applicable United States securities exchange or Governmental Entity to which the relevant party is subject, in which case the party required to make the release or announcement shall use its commercially reasonable best efforts to allow each other party reasonable time to comment on such release or announcement in advance of such issuance and except with respect to any Change of Company Board Recommendation or other action taken by the Company pursuant to and in compliance with Section 5.5. The Company, Parent and Merger Sub agree that the press releases announcing the execution and delivery of this Agreement shall be separate press releases of, and shall not be issued prior to the approval of each of, the Company and Parent.

5.9 Employee Benefit Matters.

(a) From the Effective Time through March 31, 2013, Parent shall provide or cause the Parent Subsidiaries, including the Surviving Corporation and the Company Subsidiaries, to provide such compensation (base salary or wages and bonus opportunities, but excluding equity plan awards) and health and welfare benefits (such as 401(k) plan participation and medical insurance) to each Company Employee that are substantially comparable in the aggregate to those provided to each Company Employee under the Company Benefit Plans prior to the Effective Time.

(b) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, (i) Parent is not obligated to continue to employ any employee of the Company or any Company Subsidiary for any period of time following the Effective

Time, (ii) nothing in this Agreement shall limit the ability of Parent from revising, amending or terminating any benefit plan maintained by Parent or the Parent Subsidiaries (each, a “Parent Benefit Plan”), Company Benefit Plan or other employee benefit plan, program or policy from time to time, (iii) nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as an amendment of any Parent Benefit Plan or Company Benefit Plan, and (iv) no provision of this Section 5.9 shall create any third party beneficiary rights in any employee, director, former employee or former director (including any beneficiary or dependent of such employee, director, former employee or former director) of the Company or any Company Subsidiary in respect of continued employment or service (or resumed employment or service).

5.10 Takeover Laws. If any “control share acquisition”, “fair price”, “business combination” or other anti-takeover Law becomes or is deemed to be applicable to the Merger, including the acquisition of Shares pursuant thereto, or any other transaction contemplated by this Agreement, then the Company Board or the Parent Board, as applicable, shall take all action reasonably available to it to render such Law inapplicable to the foregoing.

5.11 Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

(a) For a period beginning at the Effective Time and ending on the sixth anniversary of the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall indemnify and hold harmless all past and present directors, officers and employees of the Company or any Company Subsidiary (“Covered Persons”) to the fullest extent permitted by Law, arising out of acts or omissions in their capacity as directors, officers or employees of the Company or any Company Subsidiary occurring at or prior to the Effective Time (“Covered Losses”). To the extent provided under the Company’s certificate of incorporation and by-laws as in effect on the date of this Agreement, the Surviving Corporation shall advance expenses in a timely fashion (including reasonable legal fees and expenses) incurred in the defense of any claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation with respect to the matters subject to indemnification pursuant to this Section 5.11(a) (“Advanced Expenses”); provided, however, that the Covered Person to whom expenses are advanced undertakes to repay such Advanced Expenses to the Surviving Corporation if it is ultimately determined that such Covered Person is not entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Section 5.11(a). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if any claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation (whether arising before, at or after the Effective Time) is made against any such Covered Person with respect to matters subject to indemnification or expense advancement hereunder on or prior to the sixth anniversary of the Effective Time, the provisions of this Section 5.11(a) shall continue in effect until the final disposition of such claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation.

(b) For not less than six years from and after the Effective Time, the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Surviving Corporation shall contain provisions no less favorable with respect to exculpation, indemnification and advancement of expenses of Covered Persons for periods at or prior to the Effective Time than are currently set forth in the Company Charter and the Company Bylaws unless the Parent agrees to directly assume such indemnification obligations. The indemnification agreements, if any, in existence on the date of this Agreement with any of the Covered Persons and disclosed in the Company Disclosure Letter shall be assumed by the Surviving Corporation, without any further action, and shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with their terms following the Effective Time.

(c) For the benefit of the Company’s directors and officers, as of the date of this Agreement and as of the Effective Time, the Company shall be permitted, prior to the Effective Time, to obtain and fully pay the premium for an insurance and indemnification policy that provides coverage for a period of six years from and after the Effective Time for events occurring prior to the Effective Time (the “D&O Insurance”) that is substantially equivalent to and in any event not less favorable in the aggregate than the Company’s existing policy (true and complete copies which have been previously provided to Parent) or, if substantially equivalent insurance coverage is unavailable, the best available coverage. If the Company is unable to purchase such D&O Insurance prior to the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall as of the Effective Time, obtain and fully pay the premium for D&O Insurance that is substantially equivalent to and in any event not less favorable in the aggregate than the Company’s existing policy or, if substantially equivalent insurance coverage is unavailable,

the best available coverage; provided, however, that the Surviving Corporation shall not be required to pay an annual premium for the D&O Insurance in excess of 225% of the last annual premium paid prior to the date of this Agreement, but in such case shall purchase as much coverage as is available for such amount. The Surviving Corporation shall maintain such policies in full force and effect, and continue to honor the obligations thereunder for a period of not less than six years from and after the Effective Time.

(d) In the event of any breach by the Surviving Corporation of this Section 5.11, the Surviving Corporation shall be obligated to pay, and the Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to pay, all reasonable expenses, including attorneys’ fees, that may be incurred by any Covered Persons in enforcing the indemnity and other obligations provided in this Section 5.11 as such fees are incurred upon the written request of such Person.

(e) The Parent agrees that in the event that the Surviving Corporation does not perform its obligations under this Section 5.11 and the D&O Insurance is not funding on a current basis all Covered Losses and related costs and expenses required to indemnify and hold harmless any Covered Person in accordance with this Section 5.11, including with respect to Advanced Expenses, then the Parent will cause the Surviving Corporation to perform its obligations under this Section 5.11, including by providing funds to the Surviving Corporation as needed.

(f) In the event the Surviving Corporation (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 proper provision shall be made so that either (x) such continuing or Surviving Corporation or entity or transferee of such assets, as the case may be, shall assume the obligations set forth in this Section 5.11 or (y) the Parent agrees to assume such indemnification obligations. In the event the Parent (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 proper provision shall be made so that either such continuing Person or transferee of such assets, as the case may be, shall assume the Parent’s obligations set forth in this Section 5.11.

(g) The obligations under this Section 5.11 shall not be terminated or modified in such a manner as to adversely affect any past or present directors, officers and employees of the Company or any Company Subsidiary to whom this Section 5.11 applies without the consent of such affected Person (it being expressly agreed that the Persons to whom this Section 5.11 applies are express third party beneficiaries of this Section 5.11).

5.12 Parent Agreements Concerning Merger Sub. Parent hereby guarantees the due, prompt and faithful payment, performance and discharge by Merger Sub of, and the compliance by Merger Sub with, all of the covenants, agreements, obligations and undertakings of Merger Sub under this Agreement in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and covenants and agrees to take all actions necessary or advisable to ensure such payment, performance and discharge by Merger Sub hereunder. Parent shall, immediately following execution of this Agreement, adopt this Agreement in its capacity as sole stockholder of Merger Sub and deliver to the Company evidence of its vote or action by written consent approving and adopting this Agreement in accordance with applicable Law and the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of Merger Sub.

5.13 Section 16 Matters. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall take all such steps as may be required to cause any dispositions by any officer or director of the Company or any Company Subsidiary who is a covered person of the Company for purposes of Section 16 of the Exchange Act of Shares to be an exempt transaction under Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act.

5.14 Acquisition of Shares. Except pursuant to the Merger, from and after the date of this Agreement and prior to the earlier of the Effective Time and the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Article 7, Parent and its Subsidiaries (including Merger Sub) and Parent’s Affiliates shall not acquire, directly or indirectly, any Shares, except to the extent that such acquisition of Shares is permitted under the Confidentiality Agreement in connection with a First Trigger Event (as defined therein).

5.15 Transfer Taxes. Except as provided in Section 2.2(b) with respect to payments of Merger Consideration to Persons other than the registered holders of Shares, all stock transfer, real estate transfer, documentary, stamp, recording and other similar Taxes (“Transfer Taxes”) incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the Merger, shall be paid by either Merger Sub or the Surviving Corporation, and the Company shall cooperate with Merger Sub, the Surviving Corporation and Parent in preparing, executing and filing any Tax Returns with respect to such Transfer Taxes.

5.16 FIRPTA Certificate. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall deliver to Parent a properly executed statement from the Company in accordance with the requirements of Treasury Regulation Section 1.897-2(h) for purposes of satisfying the requirements of Treasury Regulation Section 1.1445-2(c)(3).

5.17 Employee Confidentiality Agreements. Prior to the Closing, the Company will use reasonable best efforts to obtain from the employees of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries listed in Section 5.17 of the Company Disclosure Letter a signed written confidentiality agreement in a form previously approved by the Parent and the Company for this purpose.

Any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed by the party or parties to be bound thereby, but such extension or waiver or failure to insist on strict compliance with an obligation, covenant, agreement or condition shall not operate as a waiver of, or estoppel with respect to, any subsequent or other failure.

This Agreement (together with the Exhibits, Parent Disclosure Letter, Company Disclosure Letter and Voting Agreements and the other documents delivered pursuant hereto) and the Confidentiality Agreement constitute the entire agreement of the parties and supersede all prior agreements and undertakings, both written and oral, among the parties, or any of them, with respect to the subject matter hereof and, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, are not intended to confer upon any other Person any rights or remedies hereunder.

8.9 Assignment. The Agreement shall not be assigned by any party by operation of Law or otherwise without the prior written consent of the other parties.

8.10 Parties in Interest. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of each party hereto and their respective successors and assigns, and nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person any right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement, other than (a) any Persons entitled to indemnification or other rights under the provisions of Section 5.11 (Indemnification of Directors and Officers), with respect to such provisions, who shall be entitled to enforce their rights under this Agreement as third-party beneficiaries, and (b) the stockholders of the Company, after the Effective Time, with respect to the right of such stockholders to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to this Agreement.

8.11 Mutual Drafting; Interpretation. Each party hereto has participated in the drafting of this Agreement, which each party acknowledges is the result of extensive negotiations between the parties. If an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties, and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any provision. For purposes of this Agreement, whenever the context requires: the singular number shall include the plural, and vice versa; the masculine gender shall include the feminine and neuter genders; the feminine gender shall include the masculine and neuter genders; and the neuter gender shall include masculine and feminine genders. As used in this Agreement, the words “include” and “including,” and variations thereof, shall not be deemed to be terms of limitation, but rather shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation.” Except as otherwise indicated, all references in this Agreement to “Sections,” “Exhibits,” “Annexes” and “Schedules” are intended to refer to Sections of this Agreement and Exhibits, Annexes and Schedules to this Agreement. All references in this Agreement to “$” are intended to refer to U.S. dollars. Unless otherwise specifically provided for herein, the term “or” shall not be deemed to be exclusive. Disclosure of any item on the Company Disclosure Letter or the Parent Disclosure Letter by reference to any particular Section or Subsection of this Agreement shall be deemed to constitute disclosure with respect to any other Section or Subsection of this Agreement if the relevance of such disclosure to such other Section or Subsection is reasonably apparent on the face of such disclosure.

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

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

(b) Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Delaware Court of Chancery and any appellate court from thereof in the State of Delaware (or, if the Delaware Court of Chancery declines to accept jurisdiction over a particular

matter, any state or federal court within the State of Delaware and any appellate court from any thereof), in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the agreements delivered in connection herewith or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment relating thereto, and each of the parties hereby irrevocably and unconditionally (i) agrees not to commence any such action or proceeding except in such court, (ii) agrees that any claim in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such court, (iii) waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such action or proceeding in such court, and (iv) waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in such court located in Delaware. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Law. Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 8.3. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by Law.

(c) EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE IT HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY OF THE AGREEMENTS DELIVERED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY. EACH PARTY CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (I) NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE EITHER OF SUCH WAIVERS, (II) IT UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF SUCH WAIVERS, (III) IT MAKES SUCH WAIVERS VOLUNTARILY, AND (IV) IT HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 8.12(c).

8.13 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, and by the different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when executed shall be deemed to be an original but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. The exchange of a fully executed Agreement (in counterparts or otherwise) by facsimile or by electronic delivery in .pdf format shall be sufficient to bind the parties to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

8.14 Specific Performance.

(a) 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 the provisions of this Agreement (including failing to take such actions as are required of it hereunder in order to consummate this Agreement) in accordance with its specified terms or otherwise breach such provisions. The parties acknowledge and agree that each party hereto shall be entitled to an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. Without limitation of the foregoing and notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the parties hereby further acknowledge and agree that prior to the Closing, the parties shall be entitled to seek specific performance to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of, and to prevent or cure breaches of, the terms and provisions of this Agreement. Each party hereto agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief on the basis that (x) the other party has an adequate remedy at law or (y) an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or equity.

(b) The parties further agree that (x) the seeking of the remedies provided for in Section 8.14(a) shall not in any respect constitute a waiver by any party seeking such remedies of its respective right to seek any other

form of relief that may be available to it under this Agreement, including under Section 7.2, in the event that this Agreement has been terminated or in the event that the remedies provided for in Section 8.14(a) are not available or otherwise are not granted, and (y) nothing set forth in this Agreement shall require a party to institute any proceeding for (or limit a party’s right to institute any proceeding for) specific performance under Section 8.14(a) prior or as a condition to exercising any termination right under Article 7 (and pursuing damages after such termination), nor shall the commencement of any legal proceeding pursuant to Section 8.14(a) or anything set forth in this Section 8.14(b) restrict or limit a party’s right to terminate this Agreement in accordance with the terms of Article 7 or pursue any other remedies under this Agreement that may be available then or thereafter.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Parent, Merger Sub and the Company have caused this Agreement to be executed as of the date first written above by their respective officers thereunto duly authorized.
