AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER

THIS AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER (this “Agreement”) dated as of July 20, 2011 is among PFIZER INC. (“Parent”), a Delaware corporation, ECLIPSE ACQUISITION CORP. (“Sub”), a newly-formed Delaware corporation and a direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent, and ICAGEN, INC. (the “Company”), a Delaware corporation.

R E C I T A L S

WHEREAS, Parent and the Board of Directors of each of Sub and the Company has approved the acquisition of the Company by Parent on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement;

WHEREAS, in furtherance thereof, it is proposed that Sub commence a cash tender offer (as it may be amended from time to time as permitted by this Agreement, the “Offer”) to acquire all shares of the issued and outstanding common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company (the “Shares”), for $6.00 for each Share, net to the seller in cash (such price, or any such higher price per Share as may be paid in the Offer, referred to herein as the “Offer Price”), without interest;

WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of each of Sub and the Company has approved this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, including the Merger following consummation of the Offer, in accordance with the Delaware General Corporation Law (“DGCL”) and upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein;

WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Company Board of Directors”) has determined that the consideration to be paid for each Share in the Offer and the Merger is fair to the holders of such Shares and, as of the date of this Agreement, has resolved to recommend that the holders of Shares accept the Offer and adopt this Agreement upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein;

WHEREAS, concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, and as a condition and inducement to Parent entering into this Agreement, certain Company stockholders (the “Principal Stockholders”) have entered into tender and voting agreements, dated as of the date hereof, in substantially the form set forth in Annex II, pursuant to which, among other things, each of the Principal Stockholders has agreed to tender his, her or its Shares to Sub in the Offer (the “Tender and Voting Agreements”); and

WHEREAS, the Company, Parent and Sub desire to make certain representations, warranties, covenants and agreements in connection with the Offer and the Merger.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the respective covenants, agreements, representations and warranties set forth herein, the parties agree as follows:

SECTION 1 - THE OFFER AND THE MERGER

1.1 The Offer.

(a) Provided that this Agreement shall not have been terminated in accordance with Section 8.1, as promptly as practicable (and in any event no later than the tenth (10) business day after the date of this Agreement), Sub shall, and Parent shall cause Sub to, commence (within the meaning of Rule 14d-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (together with the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, the “Exchange Act”)) the Offer. The obligations of Sub to accept for payment and to pay for any Shares validly tendered and not withdrawn prior to the expiration of the Offer (as it may be extended in accordance with this Section 1.1(a)) shall be subject only to the conditions set forth in Annex I. Subject to the prior satisfaction or waiver by Parent and Sub of the conditions set forth in Annex I, Sub shall consummate the Offer in accordance with its terms and accept for payment and pay for all Shares tendered and not withdrawn promptly (in accordance with Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act) following the acceptance of Shares for payment pursuant to the Offer. The Offer shall be made by means of an offer to purchase (the “Offer to Purchase”) that contains the terms set forth in this Agreement and the conditions set forth in Annex I. Parent and Sub expressly reserve the right to waive any of such conditions, to increase the Offer Price and to make any other changes in the terms of the Offer; provided, however, that Sub shall not, and Parent shall cause Sub not to, decrease the Offer Price, change the form of consideration payable in the Offer, decrease the number of Shares sought in the Offer, waive or change the Minimum Condition, impose additional conditions to the Offer, amend, modify or supplement any of the conditions or the terms of the Offer in any manner adverse to holders of Shares or that would, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to prevent the consummation of the Offer or prevent or impair the ability of the Parent or Sub to consummate the Offer, the Merger or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or extend the offer beyond a date that is twenty-one (21) business days after commencement of the Offer or the last extension (in accordance with this Section 1.1), if any, of the Offer, whichever is later (the “Expiration Date”) except as set forth below, in each case without the prior written consent of the Company (such consent to be authorized by the Company Board of Directors or a duly authorized committee thereof). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Sub may, without the consent of the Company (and, in the case of clause (i), so long as an Acquisition Proposal has not been made, shall upon the Company’s unconditional request made not less than one (1) business day prior to the Expiration Date) (i) extend the Offer beyond the initial expiration date for additional successive extension periods of not more than five (5) business days each if, at any scheduled (or extended) expiration of the Offer, any of the conditions to Sub’s obligation to accept Shares for payment shall not be satisfied or waived, (ii) extend the Offer for any period required by any rule, regulation or interpretation of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), or the staff thereof, that is applicable to the Offer, or (iii) extend (or re-extend) the Offer for up to two (2) periods of not more than ten (10) business days each, beyond the latest applicable date that would otherwise be permitted under clause (i) or (ii) of this sentence, if, as of such date, all of the conditions to Sub’s obligations to accept for payment and pay for all Shares are satisfied or waived, but there shall not have been validly tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to the Offer that number of Shares necessary to permit the Merger to be effected without a meeting of the Company’s stockholders in accordance with the DGCL. In addition to the foregoing and excluded from any such limitations, Sub also may provide a “subsequent offering period” (not in excess of 10 business days) in accordance with Rule 14d-11 under the Exchange Act.

(b) The Offer Price shall be adjusted appropriately to reflect the effect of any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend (including any dividend or distribution of

- 2 -

securities convertible into Shares), cash dividend, reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, combination, exchange of shares or other like change with respect to the Shares occurring on or after the date hereof and prior to Sub’s acceptance for payment of, and payment for, Shares pursuant to the Offer.

(c) On the date of commencement of the Offer, Parent and Sub shall file with the SEC, pursuant to Regulation M-A under the Exchange Act (“Regulation M-A”), a Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO with respect to the Offer (together with all amendments, supplements and exhibits thereto, the “Schedule TO”). The Schedule TO shall include, as exhibits, the Offer to Purchase and a form of letter of transmittal, summary advertisement and other required ancillary offer documents (collectively, together with any amendments and supplements thereto, the “Offer Documents”). Subject to Section 5.2, the Company hereby consents to the inclusion in the Offer Documents of the recommendation of the Company Board of Directors referred to in Section 3.21(a). Subject to the Company’s compliance with Section 1.2(c), Parent and Sub agree to take all steps necessary to cause the Offer Documents to be filed with the SEC and disseminated to holders of Shares, in each case as and to the extent required by applicable Law. Parent and Sub, on the one hand, and the Company, on the other hand, agree to promptly correct any information provided by it for use in the Offer Documents if and to the extent that they shall become aware that such information shall have become false or misleading in any material respect or as otherwise required by Law. Parent and Sub further agree to take all steps necessary to cause the Offer Documents as so corrected to be filed with the SEC and disseminated to holders of Shares, in each case as and to the extent required by applicable Law. The Company shall be given a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on the Schedule TO and any amendment thereto before it is filed with the SEC. In addition, Parent and Sub agree to provide the Company with any comments, whether written or oral, that Parent, Sub or their counsel may receive from time to time prior to the expiration or termination of the Offer, from the SEC or its staff with respect to the Offer Documents, promptly upon receipt of such comments, and any written or oral responses thereto, and to consult with the Company and its counsel prior to responding to any such comments, either in written or oral form. After the commencement of the Offer, neither Parent nor Sub will publish, send or give to Company stockholders supplemental or revised materials without the Company’s prior written consent.

(d) Parent shall provide or cause to be provided to or on behalf of Sub promptly following the expiration of the Offer or any subsequent extension thereof, as applicable, all funds necessary to accept for payment any Shares that have been validly tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to the Offer and that Sub is obligated to accept for payment pursuant to the Offer and permitted to accept for payment under applicable Law.

(e) Unless this Agreement is terminated pursuant to SECTION 8, Sub shall not terminate or withdraw the Offer prior to any scheduled expiration date without the prior written consent of the Company. In the event this Agreement is terminated pursuant to SECTION 8, Sub shall promptly (and in any event within one (1) business day) following such termination terminate the Offer and shall not acquire any Shares pursuant thereto. If the Offer is terminated in accordance with this Agreement prior to the purchase of Shares in the Offer, Sub shall promptly return, or cause any depositary acting on behalf of Sub to return, all tendered Shares to the tendering stockholders.

1.2 Company Actions.

(a) Subject to Section 5.2 and to any consents or approvals of the Company’s stockholders required under applicable Law, the Company hereby approves of and consents to the Offer, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby.

(b) On or as promptly as practicable after the date the Offer is commenced (and in any event no later than the earlier of (i) the tenth (10) business day after the date of this Agreement and (ii) the fifth (5^th) business day after the date the Offer is commenced), the Company shall, in a manner that complies with Rule 14d-9 under the Exchange Act, file with the SEC a Tender Offer Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9 (together with all amendments, supplements and exhibits thereto, the “Schedule 14D-9”) which shall, subject to the provisions of Section 5.2, contain the recommendation of the Company Board of Directors referred to in Section 3.21(a). The Company further agrees to take all steps necessary to cause the Schedule 14D-9 to be filed with the SEC and disseminated to holders of Shares, in each case as and to the extent required by applicable Law. The Company, on the one hand, and Parent and Sub, on the other hand, agree to promptly correct and supplement any information provided by it for use in the Schedule 14D-9 if and to the extent that if they shall become aware that such information shall have become false or misleading in any material respect or as otherwise required by Law. The Company agrees to take all steps necessary to cause the Schedule 14D-9 as so corrected to be filed with the SEC and disseminated to holders of the Shares, in each case as and to the extent required by applicable Law. Parent and Sub shall be given the opportunity to review and comment on the Schedule 14D-9 and any amendment thereto before filing with the SEC and the Company agrees to provide Parent and Sub any comments, whether written or oral, that the Company or its counsel may receive from time to time from the SEC or its staff with respect to the Schedule 14D-9 promptly after receipt of such comments, and to consult with Parent, Sub and their counsel prior to responding to any such comments, either in written or oral form.

(c) The Company shall promptly furnish or cause to be furnished to Parent or Sub mailing labels, security position listings and any available listings and computer files containing the names and addresses of the record holders of the Shares as of the most recent practicable date, and, to the extent known, of those persons becoming record holders subsequent to such date, and shall promptly furnish Parent or Sub with such information and assistance (including, but not limited to, lists of holders of the Shares, updated periodically, and their addresses, mailing labels and lists of security positions) as Parent or Sub or its agent(s) may reasonably request. Subject to applicable Law, such information shall be held confidential by Parent and Sub under the terms of that certain letter agreement dated as of October 10, 2006, as amended on June 14, 2011 by and between Parent and the Company (the “Confidentiality Agreement”). Parent and Sub shall use such information only in connection with the Offer, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement and, if this Agreement shall be terminated in accordance with SECTION 8, shall destroy all electronic copies of such information and deliver to the Company all other copies of such information then in their possession or under their control in accordance with the Confidentiality Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the parties agree that the Confidentiality Agreement does not restrict steps to prepare, file or disseminate the Offer Documents and any other documents necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.

(c) At the Effective Time, and without any further action on the part of the Company or Sub, the bylaws of the Company shall be amended and restated in their entirety to be identical to the bylaws of Sub as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time (except that such bylaws shall be amended to reflect that the name of the Surviving Corporation shall be Icagen, Inc.), and, as so amended, shall be the bylaws of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter changed or amended as provided by the DGCL, the certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation and such bylaws.

(ii) as soon as reasonably practicable following the Acceptance Time, prepare and file with the SEC under the Exchange Act a preliminary proxy or information statement relating to the Merger and this Agreement and use its reasonable best efforts to obtain and furnish the information required to be included by the SEC in the Proxy Statement and, after Parent shall have had a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on the Proxy Statement, respond promptly to any comments made by the SEC with respect to the preliminary proxy or information statement and cause a definitive proxy or information statement (in either case, the “Proxy Statement”) to be mailed to its stockholders as promptly as practicable;

(b) Parent and the Company have simultaneously with the execution of this Agreement entered into an amendment in the form attached hereto as Annex IV to that certain Purchase Agreement dated as of August 13, 2007, by and between Parent and the Company (the “Purchase Agreement”), which amendment permits Parent to vote, or cause to be voted, and Parent hereby agrees to vote, or cause to be voted, all of the Shares then beneficially owned by Parent or any of its subsidiaries (including Sub) in favor of the Merger and the adoption of this Agreement.

1.9 Merger Without Meeting of Stockholders. Notwithstanding Section 1.8, in the event that Parent and its subsidiaries (including Sub) shall collectively hold at least ninety percent (90%) of the outstanding shares of each class of capital stock of the Company entitled to vote on the Merger, pursuant to the Offer or otherwise, the parties hereto agree, subject to SECTION 7, to take all necessary and appropriate action to cause the Merger to become effective as soon as practicable, without a meeting of stockholders of the Company, in accordance with and subject to the DGCL.

1.10 Top-Up Option.

(a) The Company hereby grants to Sub an irrevocable option (the “Top-Up Option”), exercisable, in whole and not in part, only on the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 1.10, to purchase at a price per share equal to the Offer Price paid in the Offer that number of newly issued Shares (the “Top-Up Shares”) equal to the lowest number of Shares that, when added to the number of Shares directly or indirectly owned by Parent or Sub at the time of exercise of the Top-Up Option, shall constitute one share more than ninety percent (90%) of the Shares outstanding immediately after the issuance of the Top-Up Shares (determined on a fully diluted basis); provided, however, that the Top-Up Option shall not be exercisable for a number of Shares in excess of the aggregate number of Shares held as treasury shares by the Company and the number of Shares that the Company is authorized to issue under its certificate of incorporation but which (i) are not issued and outstanding and (ii) are not reserved for issuance under the Company Stock Plans or to otherwise satisfy outstanding rights to acquire Shares.

If Sub wishes to exercise the Top-Up Option, Sub shall give the Company two (2) business days prior written notice, specifying (i) the number of Shares directly or indirectly owned by Parent and Sub at the time of such notice and (ii) a place and a time for the closing of such purchase. The Company shall, as soon as practicable following receipt of such notice, deliver written notice to Sub specifying, based on the information provided by Sub in its notice, the number of Top-Up Shares. Prior to the closing of the purchase of the Top-Up Shares, upon Sub’s request, the Company shall cause its transfer agent to certify in writing to Sub the number of Shares issued and outstanding and the Company shall certify in writing to Sub the number of outstanding Company Options, Company RSUs and Company Warrants, in each case as of immediately prior to the exercise of the Top-Up Option and after giving effect to the issuance of the Top-Up Shares.

Parent and Sub represent and warrant to the Company that Sub is, or will be upon the purchase of the Top-Up Shares, an “accredited investor,” as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D under the Securities Act.

SECTION 2 - CONVERSION OF SECURITIES

2.1 Conversion of Capital Stock. As of the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holders of any Shares or any shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Sub (“Sub Common Stock”):

(a) Sub Common Stock. Each issued and outstanding share of Sub Common Stock shall be converted into and become one (1) fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock of the Surviving Corporation.

(b) Cancellation of Treasury Stock and Parent-Owned Stock. All Shares that are owned by the Company as treasury stock and any Shares owned by Parent or Sub shall automatically be cancelled and retired and shall cease to exist, and no consideration shall be payable in exchange therefor.

(c) Conversion of Shares. Each issued and outstanding Share (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 the Offer Price, payable to the holder thereof in cash, without interest (the “Merger Consideration”). From and after the Effective Time, all such Shares shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled and retired and shall cease to exist, and each holder of a certificate (a “Certificate”) or book-entry share (a “Book-Entry Share”) representing any such Shares shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the Merger Consideration therefor, without interest thereon, upon the surrender of such Certificate or Book-Entry Share in accordance with Section 2.2.

2.2 Exchange of Certificates.

(a) Paying Agent. Parent shall designate a bank or trust company that is reasonably acceptable to the Company to act as agent for the holders of Shares in connection with the Merger (the “Paying Agent”) and to receive the funds to which holders of Shares shall become entitled pursuant to Section 2.1(c). Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to provide to the Paying Agent at or prior to the Effective Time cash necessary to pay for the Shares converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration (such cash being hereinafter referred to as the “Exchange Fund”). If for any reason the Exchange Fund is inadequate to pay the amounts to which holders of Shares shall be entitled under Section 2.1(c), Parent shall promptly deposit or cause the Surviving Corporation promptly to deposit additional cash with the Paying Agent sufficient to make all payments of Merger Consideration. The Paying Agent may invest the cash in the Exchange Fund as directed by Parent. Any interest and other income resulting from such investments shall be paid to Parent.

(b) Exchange Procedures. As soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time, the Paying Agent shall mail to each holder of record of a Certificate or a Book-Entry Share, which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding Shares, whose shares were converted pursuant to Section 2.1(c) into the right to receive the Merger Consideration (i) a letter of transmittal (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificate or Book-Entry Shares shall pass, only upon delivery of the Certificates or Book-Entry Shares to the Paying Agent and shall otherwise be in customary

- 9 -

form); and (ii) in the case of holders of Certificates, instructions for effecting the surrender of the Certificates in exchange for payment of the Merger Consideration. Upon surrender of a Certificate for cancellation to the Paying Agent or to such other agent or agents as may be appointed by Parent, together with such letter of transmittal, duly executed and properly completed, the holder of such Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor the Merger Consideration for each Share formerly represented by such Certificate, and the Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled. Upon receipt of an “agent’s message” by the Paying Agent (or such other evidence, if any, of transfer as the Paying Agent may reasonably request) in the case of a transfer of Book-Entry Shares, the holder of such Book-Entry Shares shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor the Merger Consideration for each Share formerly represented by such Book-Entry Shares, and the Book-Entry Shares so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 2.2, each Certificate or Book-Entry Share shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive the Merger Consideration in cash as contemplated by this Section 2.2, without interest thereon, and shall not evidence any interest in, or any right to exercise the rights of a stockholder or other equity holder of, the Company or the Surviving Corporation.

(c) Transfer Books; No Further Ownership Rights in Shares. 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 Certificates or Book-Entry Shares evidencing ownership 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 or Book-Entry Shares are presented to the Surviving Corporation for any reason, they shall be cancelled and exchanged as provided in this SECTION 2.

(d) Termination of Exchange Fund; No Liability. At any time following one (1) year after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall be entitled to require the Paying Agent to deliver to it any funds (including any interest received with respect thereto) made available to the Paying Agent and not disbursed (or for which disbursement is pending subject only to the Paying Agent’s routine administrative procedures) to holders of Certificates and Book-Entry Shares, and thereafter such holders shall be entitled to look only to Parent and the Surviving Corporation (subject to abandoned property, escheat or other similar Laws) only as general creditors thereof with respect to the Merger Consideration payable upon due surrender of their Certificates or Book-Entry Shares, without any interest thereon. Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of Parent, the Surviving Corporation nor the Paying Agent shall be liable to any holder of a Certificate or Book-Entry Share for Merger Consideration delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law. If Certificates or Book-Entry Shares are not surrendered prior to two (2) years after the Effective Time, unclaimed Merger Consideration payable with respect to such Shares shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, become the property of the Surviving Corporation, free and clear of all claims or interest of any person previously entitled thereto.

(e) Lost Certificates. If any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if reasonably required by Parent, the posting by such person of a bond in such reasonable amount as Parent may direct as indemnity against any claim that may be

- 10 -

made against it or the Surviving Corporation with respect to such Certificate, the Paying Agent shall deliver in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate the applicable Merger Consideration with respect thereto.

2.3 Dissenting Shares.

(a) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Shares outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and held by a holder who has not voted in favor of the Merger or consented thereto in writing and who has complied with Section 262 of the DGCL (the “Dissenting Shares”) shall not be converted into a right to receive the Merger Consideration, unless such holder fails to perfect or withdraws or otherwise loses his, her or its right to appraisal. From and after the Effective Time, a stockholder who has properly exercised such appraisal rights shall not have any rights of a stockholder of the Company or the Surviving Corporation with respect to such Shares, except those provided under Section 262 of the DGCL. A holder of Dissenting Shares shall be entitled to receive payment of the appraised value of such Shares held by him, her or it in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL, unless, after the Effective Time, such holder fails to perfect or withdraws or loses his, her or its right to appraisal, in which case such Shares shall be converted into and represent only the right to receive the Merger Consideration, without interest thereon, upon surrender of such holder’s Certificates or Book-Entry Shares, pursuant to Section 2.2. The parties hereby agree and acknowledge that in any appraisal proceeding with respect to the Dissenting Shares, and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, the fair value of the Dissenting Shares will be determined in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL without regard to the Top-Up Option, the Top-Up Shares or any promissory note delivered by Sub or Parent to the Company in payment for the Top-Up Shares.

(b) The Company shall give Parent (i) prompt written notice of any written demands for appraisal (including copies of such demands), attempted withdrawals of such demands and any other instruments received by the Company relating to rights of appraisal; and (ii) the opportunity to participate in the conduct of all negotiations and proceedings with respect to demands for appraisal. Except with the prior written consent of Parent, the Company shall not voluntarily make any payment with respect to any demands for appraisal or settle or offer to settle any such demands for appraisal.

2.4 Company Stock Plans and Warrants.

(a) Effective as of the Effective Time, each stock option that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (each a “Company Option” and collectively, the “Company Options”) granted under the Company’s Equity Compensation Plan, as amended, and 2004 Stock Incentive Plan, as amended (collectively, the “Company Stock Plans”), without regard to the extent then vested and exercisable, shall be cancelled and, in consideration of such cancellation, Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, promptly following the Effective Time, pay to each holder of Company Options, an amount in respect thereof equal to the product of (x) the excess, if any, of the Offer Price over the exercise price of each such Company Option and (y) the number of Shares then subject thereto (such payment, if any, to be net of applicable Taxes withheld pursuant to Section 2.6 and without interest). Each Company Option that has an exercise price equal to or greater than the Offer Price shall be cancelled with

- 11 -

no consideration due to the holder thereof. As of the Effective Time, all Company Options shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically terminate and cease to exist, and each holder of a Company Option shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto other than the right to receive the cash payment, if any, contemplated by this Section 2.4(a). Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall take all actions necessary to effectuate this Section 2.4(a).

(b) Effective as of the Acceptance Time, each restricted stock unit granted by the Company under a Company Stock Plan that is outstanding immediately prior to the Acceptance Time (each, a “Company RSU”) shall vest and shall be settled by the Company through the issuance to each holder thereof of one Share in respect of each Company RSU that so vests (subject to any applicable withholding). At the Effective Time, each Share issued with respect to such former Company RSU shall be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.1. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall take all actions necessary to effectuate this Section 2.4(b).

(c) As of the Effective Time, the Company Stock Plans shall terminate and all rights under any provision of any other plan, program or arrangement providing for the issuance or grant of any other interest in respect of the capital stock of the Company shall be cancelled. The Company shall take all actions necessary to effectuate the foregoing, including, but not limited to, sending out the requisite notices, obtaining any necessary resolutions of the Company Board of Directors or a committee thereof, and obtaining all consents necessary to cash out and cancel all Company Options and Company RSUs, so as to ensure that, after the Effective Time, no person shall have any right under the Company Stock Plans or any other plan, program, or arrangement which provides for the issuance or grant of any interest in respect of the capital stock of the Company, except for the right to receive the payments, if any, contemplated by Sections 2.4(a) and 2.4(b) above.

(d) Effective as of the Effective Time, each outstanding warrant to purchase Shares (each, a “Company Warrant”) shall become exercisable for the right to receive the Merger Consideration payable pursuant to Section 2.1 (such payment, if any, to be net of applicable Taxes withheld pursuant to Section 2.6).

2.5 Section 16. The Company Board of Directors shall, to the extent necessary, take appropriate action, prior to or as of the Acceptance Time, to approve, for purposes of Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, the disposition and cancellation of Shares (including derivative securities with respect to Shares) resulting from the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

2.6 Withholding. Each of Parent, Sub, the Surviving Corporation, the Paying Agent, and the Company shall be entitled to deduct and withhold, and/or cause to be deducted and withheld, from any amounts payable or otherwise deliverable in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement such amounts as are required to be deducted or withheld therefrom under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), or any provision of any other federal, state, local or foreign Tax law. To the extent such amounts are so deducted or withheld, such amounts shall be (a) remitted by Parent, Sub, the Surviving Corporation, the Paying Agent, or the Company, as the case may be, to the applicable Governmental Entity and (b) treated for all purposes under this Agreement as having been paid to the person to whom such

- 12 -

amounts would otherwise have been paid. Any transfer and similar Taxes imposed in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be for the account of the person(s) to whom consideration is payable with respect to such transactions.

5.2 No Solicitation.

- 44 -

(a) The Company has and has caused its officers, directors, employees, investment bankers, attorneys, accountants or other agents (collectively, “Representatives”) to have, ceased and terminated all existing discussions and negotiations with any persons with respect to any offer or proposal for any transaction or series of related transactions, other than the transactions contemplated hereby, for: (A) any consolidation, business combination, merger or similar transaction involving the Company; (B) any recapitalization, restructuring, liquidation or dissolution of the Company; (C) any issuance by the Company of fifteen percent (15%) or more of its equity securities, including pursuant to the At Market Issuance Sales Agreement dated as of March 15, 2011 by and between the Company and XxXxxxxx, Xxxxx and Vlak LLC; or (D) any sale, lease, exchange, transfer, exclusive license or disposition of assets of the Company for consideration equal to fifteen percent (15%) or more of the market value of all of the outstanding Shares on the last trading day prior to the date of this Agreement or fifteen percent (15%) of the total assets of the Company (each of clauses (A)-(D), an “Acquisition Proposal”). Except as provided in this Section 5.2, from the date of this Agreement until the earlier of termination of this Agreement or the Acceptance Time, the Company shall not, nor shall it authorize or permit any of its Representatives to, directly or indirectly (i) initiate, solicit or knowingly encourage, or knowingly take any action for the purpose of facilitating the making of, any offer or proposal which constitutes or is reasonably likely to lead to an Acquisition Proposal, (ii) enter into any agreement, arrangement or commitment, including any letter of intent, memorandum of understanding, agreement in principle, acquisition agreement, merger agreement, or similar agreement (an “Alternative Acquisition Agreement”), providing for an Acquisition Proposal or enter into any agreement, arrangement or commitment that requires the Company to abandon, terminate or fail to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (iii) accept, approve, endorse or recommend an Acquisition Proposal, or (iv) engage in negotiations or discussions with, or provide any non-public information or data to, any person (other than Parent or any of its Affiliates or representatives) relating to any Acquisition Proposal. The Company agrees that any violations of the restrictions set forth in this Section 5.2 by any of its Representatives shall be deemed to be a breach of this Section 5.2 by the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 5.2 or any other provision hereof shall prohibit the Company or the Company Board of Directors from directing any person to the provisions of this Agreement, from taking and disclosing to the Company’s stockholders its position with respect to any tender or exchange offer by a third party pursuant to Rules 14d-9 and 14e-2 promulgated under the Exchange Act or from making any disclosure to the Company’s stockholders if, in the good faith judgment of the Company Board of Directors, failure to so disclose would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law; provided, however, that this sentence shall not affect the obligations of the Company and the Company Board of Directors and the rights of Parent and Sub under Sections 5.2(c), 5.2(d) and 5.2(e) to the extent applicable to such disclosure; and provided, further, that any disclosure pursuant to this sentence of Section 5.2(a) other than a “stop, look and listen” letter or similar communication of the type contemplated by Rule 14d-9(f) under the Exchange Act shall be deemed to be an Adverse Recommendation Change (and, accordingly, shall be subject to Sections 8.1(e)(i)(A) and 8.2(b)) unless the Company Board of Directors expressly reaffirms its recommendation of the Offer to the Company’s stockholders.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, prior to the acceptance of, and payment for, Shares pursuant to the Offer (the “Acceptance Time”), the Company and its Representatives may furnish information and data to any person (and such person’s representatives) pursuant to a

- 45 -

confidentiality agreement with terms no less favorable in the aggregate to the Company than those contained in the Confidentiality Agreement and may negotiate and participate in discussions and negotiations with such person (and such person’s representatives) concerning an Acquisition Proposal if, and only if, such person has, in the absence of any breach of Section 5.2(a), submitted a bona fide written Acquisition Proposal that the Board of Directors determines in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisor, is or could reasonably be expected to lead to a Superior Proposal. From and after the date hereof and prior to the Acceptance Time, the Company shall promptly (and in any event within one (1) business day) notify the Parent in the event that the Company or its Representatives receives an Acquisition Proposal or any inquiry relating to an Acquisition Proposal or potential Acquisition Proposal from a person (or such person’s Representatives) who could reasonably be expected to be capable of making an Acquisition Proposal. The Company shall provide Parent promptly (and in any event within such one (1) business day period) with the identity of such person and a copy of such Acquisition Proposal or inquiry (or, where any such Acquisition Proposal or inquiry is not in writing, a description of the material terms and conditions of such Acquisition Proposal or inquiry) including any material modifications thereto. The Company shall keep the Parent reasonably informed (orally and in writing) on a prompt basis (and in any event no later than one (1) business day after the occurrence of any material changes, developments, discussions or negotiations) of the status of any Acquisition Proposal (including the material terms and conditions thereof and of any material modification thereto), including furnishing copies of any material written inquiries, correspondence, and draft documentation. Without limiting the foregoing, the Company shall promptly (and in any event within one (1) business day) notify Parent orally and in writing if it determines to begin providing information or to engage in discussions or negotiations concerning an Acquisition Proposal and shall in no event begin providing such information or engaging in such discussions or negotiations prior to providing such notice. The Company shall not enter into any agreement with any person subsequent to the date of this Agreement that would restrict the Company’s ability to provide such information to Parent, and the Company is not currently party to any agreement that prohibits the Company from providing the information described in this Section to Parent. The Company (A) shall not terminate, waive, amend or modify any provision of, or grant permission or request under, any standstill or confidentiality agreement to which it is or becomes a party in connection with any Acquisition Proposal and (B) shall use commercially reasonable efforts to enforce the provisions of any such agreement. The Company will promptly provide to Parent any non-public information or data concerning the Company provided or made available pursuant to this Section 5.2(b) which was not provided or made available to Parent. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Superior Proposal” is an unsolicited bona fide written Acquisition Proposal to acquire more than fifty percent (50%) of the equity securities or total assets of the Company pursuant to a tender or exchange offer, a merger, a consolidation, business combination or recapitalization, or a sale or exclusive license of its assets, (A) on terms which the Company Board of Directors determines in its good faith judgment to be more favorable to the holders of Shares than the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (after consultation with its financial and legal advisors), taking into account all the terms and conditions of such proposal and this Agreement, including the timing and likelihood of consummating the transactions contemplated by such proposal and this Agreement, and (B) which the Company Board of Directors has determined to be reasonably capable of being completed on the terms proposed, taking into account all financial, regulatory, legal and other aspects of such proposal.

- 46 -

(c) Except as set forth herein, neither the Company Board of Directors nor any committee thereof shall withdraw, withhold, qualify or modify in a manner adverse to Parent, or publicly propose to withdraw, withhold, qualify or modify in a manner adverse to Parent, the recommendation by the Company Board of Directors or any such committee of the Offer, this Agreement, or the Merger (an “Adverse Recommendation Change”). The Company shall promptly following a determination by the Company Board of Directors that an Acquisition Proposal is a Superior Proposal, notify Parent of such determination.

(d) Notwithstanding anything in Section 5.2(c) or this Agreement to the contrary, prior to the Acceptance Time, if (i) the Company receives a written bona fide Acquisition Proposal from a third party, (ii) a material breach by the Company of Section 5.2 of this Agreement has not contributed to the making of such Acquisition Proposal, and (iii) the Company Board of Directors concludes in good faith, after consultation with outside counsel and its financial advisors, that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal after giving effect to any adjustments to the terms of this Agreement which may be offered by Parent and are irrevocable during the Notice Period (as defined below), the Company Board of Directors may, if it determines in good faith, after consultation with outside counsel, that the failure to take such action would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties to the stockholders of the Company under applicable Law, (A) effect an Adverse Recommendation Change and/or (B) terminate this Agreement to enter into an Alternative Acquisition Agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal; provided, however, that the Company shall not terminate this Agreement pursuant to the foregoing clause (B), and any purported termination pursuant to the foregoing clause (B) shall be void and of no force or effect, unless in advance of or concurrently with such termination the Company (1) pays the fee required by and pursuant to the terms of Section 8.2 and (2) immediately following such termination enters into a binding definitive Alternative Acquisition Agreement for such Superior Proposal; and provided, further, that the Company Board of Directors may not effect a change of its recommendation pursuant to the foregoing clause (A) or terminate this Agreement pursuant to the foregoing clause (B) unless (1) the Superior Proposal did not directly or indirectly result from a material breach by the Company of this Section 5.2, (2) the Company shall have provided prior written notice to Parent (it being understood and agreed that the provision of such notice, in and of itself, shall not constitute an Adverse Recommendation Change), at least three (3) business days in advance (the “Notice Period”), of its intention to take such action with respect to such Superior Proposal, which notice shall specify the material terms and conditions of any such Superior Proposal (including the identity of the party making such Superior Proposal), and shall have contemporaneously provided Parent with a copy of the proposed Alternative Acquisition Agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal, (3) prior to effecting such Adverse Recommendation Change or terminating this Agreement to enter into a definitive Alternative Acquisition Agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal, the Company shall have made its Representatives available during the Notice Period to discuss with the Parent’s representatives any adjustments in the terms and conditions of this Agreement that may be proposed by Parent and are irrevocable during the Notice Period so that such Acquisition Proposal ceases to constitute a Superior Proposal, and (4) following any discussions described in the immediately preceding clause (3), the Company Board of Directors determines in good faith that such Acquisition Proposal continues to constitute a Superior Proposal. In the event of any material revisions to the terms of the Superior Proposal after the start of the Notice Period, the Company shall be required to deliver a new written notice to Parent and to comply with the requirements of this Section with respect to such

- 47 -

new written notice, and the Notice Period shall be deemed to have re-commenced on the date of such new notice. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if fewer than three (3) business days remains before the then scheduled expiration date of the Offer, the Notice Period with respect to the Company Board of Directors effecting a change of its recommendation pursuant to the foregoing clause (A) shall equal twenty-four (24) hours, provided, however, that, in such a circumstance, the Notice Period with respect to the Company terminating this Agreement pursuant to the foregoing clause (B) shall remain three (3) business days. Any Adverse Recommendation Change shall not change the approval of the Company Board of Directors for purposes of causing any state takeover statute or other Law to be inapplicable to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including each of the Offer and the Merger, or to the Tender and Voting Agreements.

(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company Board of Directors may make an Adverse Recommendation Change in the absence of a Superior Proposal if the Company Board of Directors has concluded in good faith, after consultation with its outside counsel, that (A) such Adverse Recommendation Change is in response to a material development or change in circumstances occurring or arising after the date of this Agreement that was not known to the Company Board of Directors at the date of this Agreement and not relating to an Acquisition Proposal or inquiry for an Acquisition Proposal and (B) failure to make such an Adverse Recommendation Change would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties to the stockholders of the Company under applicable Law, provided, however, that the Company Board of Directors shall not make such an Adverse Recommendation Change unless the Company has (i) provided to Parent at least three (3) business days’ prior written notice (or such shorter period as remains prior to the scheduled expiration date of the Offer) advising Parent that the Company Board of Directors intends to take such action and specifying the reasons therefor in reasonable detail (it being understood and agreed that the provision of such notice, in and of itself, shall not constitute an Adverse Recommendation Change) and (ii) during such three (3) business day, or shorter, period, if requested by Parent, the Company shall have made its Representatives available to discuss with the Parent’s representatives any adjustments in the terms and conditions of this Agreement to obviate the need or reason for the Adverse Recommendation Change.

(f) The Company shall promptly (but in no event later than two (2) business days after the date of this Agreement) request, to the extent permitted under the terms of any such agreement, that each individual or entity that has executed a confidentiality agreement in connection with a potential Acquisition Proposal within the past fifteen (15) months return (or destroy, to the extent permitted by the terms of the applicable confidentiality agreement) all confidential information furnished to such individual or entity by or on behalf of the Company.

The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Proxy Statement to be mailed to the Company’s stockholders as promptly as practicable after filing with the SEC.

The Proxy Statement (and any amendment thereof and supplement thereto) at the date mailed to the Company’s stockholders and at the time of any meeting of the Company stockholders to be held in connection with the Merger, will 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 are made, not misleading, except that no representation is made by the Company with respect to statements made therein based on information supplied in writing by Parent or Sub expressly for inclusion in the Proxy Statement, including any amendments thereof and supplements thereto. The Proxy Statement, including any amendments thereof and supplements thereto, as to information supplied by the Company for inclusion therein, will comply as to form in all material respects with the provisions of applicable Laws. The information supplied by either of Parent or Sub expressly for inclusion or incorporation by reference in the Proxy Statement (and any amendment thereof and supplement thereto), at the date mailed to the Company’s stockholders and at the time of any meeting of the Company stockholders to be held in connection with the Merger, will 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 are made, not misleading.

For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Tender Completion Time” means the latest to occur of (a) the Acceptance Time, (b) the closing of the purchase of the Top-Up Shares unless such closing has not occurred on or prior to the twentieth (20) business day following the later of (i) the expiration date of the Offer or (ii) the expiration of any subsequent offering period, in which case clause (b) shall not apply, and (c) if a subsequent offering period is commenced by Sub, the expiration of such subsequent offering period related to the Offer.

Parent will cause the Surviving Corporation to file with the SEC (a) a Form 25 on the Closing Date and (b) a Form 15 on the first business day that is at least ten (10) days after the date the Form 25 is filed (such period between the Form 25 filing date and the Form 15 filing date, the “Delisting Period”).

All information and data obtained by Parent and its employees and representatives shall be held subject to the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement. Any such investigation and examination shall be conducted at reasonable times during business hours upon reasonable advance notice and under reasonable circumstances so as to minimize disruption to or impairment of the Company’s business. No investigation by Parent shall diminish or obviate any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements of the Company contained in this Agreement. The Company shall not be required to permit any inspection or other access, or to disclose any information that in the reasonable judgment of the Company would: (A) result in the disclosure of any trade secrets of any third party, (B) violate any obligation of the Company with respect to confidentiality entered into prior to the date of this Agreement, (C) violate or result in the loss or material impairment of any information subject to the attorney-client privilege or the attorney work product doctrine or (D) violate any Law.

(b) Each of Parent, Sub, and the Company shall promptly supply the other with any information which may be reasonably required in order to effectuate any filings or applications pursuant to this Section 6.7.

(c) Each of Parent, Sub and the Company will notify the others promptly upon the receipt of: (i) any comments from any officials of any Governmental Entity in connection with any filings made pursuant hereto and (ii) any request by any officials of any Governmental Entity for amendments or supplements to any filings made pursuant to, or information provided to comply in all material respects with, any applicable Laws and rules and regulations of any Governmental Entity. Whenever any event occurs that is required to be set forth in an amendment or supplement to any filing made pursuant to Section 6.7(a), Parent, Sub or the Company, as the case may be, will inform the others promptly after becoming aware of such occurrence and cooperate in filing with the applicable Governmental Entity such amendment or supplement.

(d) Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, each of the parties agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, and to assist and cooperate with the other parties in doing, all things necessary, proper or advisable to consummate and make effective, in the most expeditious manner practicable, the Offer, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby, including complying in all material respects with all applicable Laws and with all rules and regulations of any Governmental Entity and using its reasonable best efforts to accomplish the following: (i) the causing of all of the conditions set forth in SECTION 7 and in Annex I to be satisfied and to consummate and make effective the Offer, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) the obtaining of all reasonably requested actions or nonactions, waivers, consents, clearances, approvals, orders and authorizations from Governmental Entities and the making of all reasonably requested registrations, declarations and filings (including registrations, declarations and filings with Governmental Entities, if any), (iii) the obtaining of all reasonably requested consents, approvals or waivers from third parties, (iv) the defending of any suits, claims, actions, investigations or proceedings, whether judicial or administrative, challenging this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, including seeking to have any stay or temporary restraining order entered by any court or other Governmental Entity vacated or reversed, and (v) the execution or delivery of any additional instruments necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, and to carry out fully the purposes of, this Agreement. In connection with and without limiting the foregoing, the Company and its Board of Directors shall, if any state takeover statute or

- 51 -

similar statute or regulation is or becomes applicable to the Offer, the Merger, this Agreement or any of the other transactions contemplated hereby, use all commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that the Offer, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby may be consummated as promptly as practicable on the terms contemplated by this Agreement and otherwise to minimize the effect of such statute or regulation on the Offer, the Merger, this Agreement and the other transactions contemplated hereby. If at any time after the Effective Time any further action is necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement, the proper officers and directors of the Company, Parent and Sub shall use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all such necessary actions. Parent shall cause Sub to fulfill all of Sub’s obligations under, and pursuant to, this Agreement. The Company will use its reasonable best efforts to obtain any consent, approval, or waiver with respect to the agreements referred to in Section 3.11 such that the representations and warranties in Section 3.11 are true and correct. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall only be required to pay any material fee, penalties, or other consideration to any third party at the Acceptance Time (with respect to any consent, approval or waiver required for consummation of the Offer) or at or after the Acceptance Time (with respect to any consent, approval or waiver required for consummation of the Merger) to obtain any consent, approval or waiver required for consummation of the Offer or the Merger. Nothing in this Agreement shall require Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any other subsidiary of Parent to, or proffer, permit or agree to, sell, hold separate, license or otherwise dispose of any assets or conduct their business in a specified manner, whether as a condition to obtaining any approval from, or to avoid potential litigation or administrative action by, a Governmental Entity or any other person or for any other reason.

(e) From and after the date hereof, the Company shall reasonably cooperate with any requests by Parent and Sub relating to any audit of the Company’s financial statement that may be required by Parent or Sub as of the Effective Time. All information and data obtained by Parent and its employees and representatives shall be held subject to the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement. Any such investigation and examination shall be conducted at reasonable times during business hours upon reasonable advance notice and under reasonable circumstances so as to minimize disruption to or impairment of the Company’s business. No investigation by Parent or Sub shall diminish or obviate any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements of the Company contained in this Agreement. The Company shall not be required to permit any inspection or other access, or to disclose any information, that in the reasonable judgment of the Company would: (i) result in the disclosure of any trade secrets of any third party, (ii) violate any obligation of the Company with respect to confidentiality entered into prior to the date of this Agreement, (iii) violate or result in the loss or material impairment of any information subject to the attorney-client privilege or the attorney work product doctrine or (iv) violate any Law.

6.8 Notification of Certain Matters; Litigation. Each party shall give prompt notice to the other parties upon obtaining knowledge (a) that any representation or warranty made by it in this Agreement has become untrue or inaccurate in any material respect or is reasonably likely to become untrue or inaccurate in any material respect, (b) of any failure to comply with or satisfy in any material respect any covenant, condition or agreement to be complied with or satisfied by it under this Agreement or (c) of the occurrence of any event that would otherwise cause any condition set forth in Annex I from becoming satisfied in any material respect at any time from the date hereof to the Acceptance Time; provided, however, that no such notification shall affect

- 52 -

the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements of the parties, the conditions to the obligations of the parties under this Agreement or the remedies available to the party receiving such notification; provided, further, that failure to give any such notice shall not be treated as a breach of covenant for the purposes of paragraph (d) of Annex I or Section 8.1(c) or 8.1(d), as applicable, unless such failure to give notice that a representation or warranty made by it in this Agreement (without regard to the words “materially” or “material or to any qualification based on the defined term “Company Material Adverse Effect” set forth therein) has become untrue or inaccurate and the failure of such representation or warranty to be true and accurate would have a Company Material Adverse Effect. Without limiting the foregoing, the Company shall, within twenty-four (24) hours after it has knowledge of any of the following notify Parent of (a) any notice or other communication from any person alleging that the consent of such person is or may be required in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (b) any substantive written communication from any Governmental Entity in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and (c) any actions, suits, claims, investigations or proceedings instituted or threatened in writing against the Company or any of its directors or officers, including by any stockholder of the Company, before any court or Governmental Entity, which, if pending on the date of this Agreement, would have been required to have been disclosed pursuant to this Agreement or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, or seeking damages or discovery in connection with such transactions. Parent shall have the right to participate in the defense of any such actions, suits, claims, investigations or proceedings under clause (c) above, and the Company shall consult with Parent regarding the defense or settlement of any such actions, suits, claims, investigations or proceedings and shall consider Parent’s views with respect to such actions, suits, claims, investigations or proceedings.

6.9 Indemnification.

(a) From and after the Acceptance Time through the six-year anniversary of the date on which the Effective Time occurs, Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, and the Surviving Corporation shall, indemnify and hold harmless each person who is now, or has been at any time prior to the date hereof, or who becomes prior to the Effective Time, a director or officer of the Company (the “Indemnified Parties” and, each, an “Indemnified Party”), against all claims, losses, liabilities, damages, judgments, fines and reasonable fees, costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees and disbursements, actually and reasonably incurred in connection with any claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, arising out of or pertaining to the fact that the Indemnified Party is or was an officer, director, employee or agent of the Company or, while a director or officer of the Company, is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another person, whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the Effective Time, to the fullest extent that the Company is obligated to indemnify and hold harmless such individuals on the date of this Agreement pursuant to the Company’s certificate of incorporation and bylaws as in effect on the date of this Agreement. Each Indemnified Party will be entitled to advancement of expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred in the defense of any such claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation from the Surviving Corporation to the fullest extent that the Company is obligated to advance expenses to such individuals on the date of this Agreement pursuant to the Company’s certificate of incorporation and bylaws as in effect on the date of this Agreement; provided that any Indemnified Party to whom expenses are advanced

- 53 -

provides an undertaking, to the extent required by the DGCL, to repay such advances if it is determined by a final determination of a court of competent jurisdiction (which determination is not subject to appeal) that such Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification under applicable Law.

(b) Parent agrees that any rights to indemnification, exculpation and advancement of expenses now existing in favor of any Indemnified Party as provided in the Company’s certificate of incorporation and bylaws, in effect as of the date hereof, with respect to matters occurring at or prior to the Effective Time shall survive the Merger and shall continue in full force and effect for a period of six (6) years after the Effective Time. During such period, Parent shall not, nor shall it permit the Surviving Corporation to, amend, repeal or otherwise modify such provisions for indemnification, exculpation and advancement of expenses in any manner that would adversely affect the rights of the Indemnified Parties in respect of actions or omissions occurring at or prior to the Effective Time (including the transactions contemplated by this Agreement), unless such modification is required by Law; provided, however, that in the event any claim or claims are asserted or made either prior to the Effective Time or within such six (6) year period, all rights to indemnification in respect of any such claim or claims shall continue until disposition of any and all such claims.

(c) Subject to the next sentence, the Surviving Corporation shall, and the Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, (i) maintain, at no expense to the beneficiaries, in effect for six (6) years from the Effective Time, the current policies of the directors’ and officers’ liability insurance maintained by the Company (the “Current D&O Insurance”) with respect to matters existing or occurring at or prior to the Effective Time (including the transactions contemplated by this Agreement), so long as the annual premium therefor would not be in excess of two hundred fifty percent (250%) of the last annual premium paid prior to the Effective Time (such two hundred fifty percent (250%), the “Maximum Premium”), or (ii) purchase a six (6) year extended reporting period endorsement with respect to the Current D&O Insurance (a “Reporting Tail Endorsement”) and maintain such endorsement in full force and effect for its full term, provided, however, that the Parent may, in lieu thereof, and shall have the final decision making ability to, purchase a substitute policy with the same coverage limits and substantially similar terms as in the Reporting Tail Endorsement proposed to be purchased by the Surviving Corporation. If the Company’s or the Surviving Corporation’s existing insurance expires, is terminated or canceled during such six (6) year period or exceeds the Maximum Premium, the Surviving Corporation shall obtain, and the Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to obtain, as much directors’ and officers’ liability insurance as can be obtained for the remainder of such period for an annualized premium not in excess of the Maximum Premium, on terms and conditions no less advantageous to the Indemnified Parties than the Current D&O Insurance. However, prior to the Company or Surviving Corporation taking any actions on this expiration, termination or cancellation during such six (6) year period, described in the previous sentence, the Parent shall be provided the opportunity and have the final decision making ability to purchase as much directors’ and officers’ liability insurance as can be obtained for the remainder of such period for an annualized premium not in excess of the Maximum Premium, on terms and conditions no less advantageous to the Indemnified Parties than the Current D&O Insurance.

- 54 -

(d) In the event the Parent or the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any person, then, and in each such case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of the Parent or the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, shall assume and succeed to the obligations set forth in this Section 6.9.

(e) The provisions of this Section 6.9 are intended to be in addition to the rights otherwise available to the current and former officers and directors of the Company by Law, charter, statute, bylaw or agreement, and shall operate for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each of the Indemnified Parties, their heirs and representatives.

6.10 Directors.

(a) Promptly upon the Acceptance Time, Parent shall be entitled to designate such number of directors on the Company Board of Directors as will give Parent, subject to compliance with Section 14(f) of the Exchange Act, representation on the Company Board of Directors equal to at least that number of directors, rounded up to the next whole number, which is the product of (x) the total number of directors on the Company Board of Directors (giving effect to the directors elected pursuant to this sentence) multiplied by (y) the percentage that (I) the number of Shares then owned by Parent, Sub, or any other subsidiary of Parent bears to (II) the number of such Shares outstanding, and the Company shall, at such time, cause Parent’s designees to be so elected; provided, however, that in the event that Parent’s designees are appointed or elected to the Company Board of Directors, until the Effective Time, the Company Board of Directors shall have at least three (3) directors who are directors on the date of this Agreement and who are not officers of the Company (the “Independent Directors”); and provided, further, that, in such event, if the number of Independent Directors shall be reduced below three (3) for any reason whatsoever, any remaining Independent Directors (or Independent Director, if there shall be only one remaining) shall be entitled to designate persons to fill such vacancies who shall be deemed to be Independent Directors for purposes of this Agreement or, if no Independent Directors then remain, the other directors shall designate three (3) persons to fill such vacancies who are not officers or Affiliates of the Company, Parent or Sub, and are “independent directors” of the Company for purposes of Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5605(a)(2) as in effect on the date hereof, and such persons shall be deemed to be Independent Directors for purposes of this Agreement. At such time, the Company shall, upon Parent’s request, also cause persons elected or designated by Parent to constitute the same percentage (rounded up to the next whole number) as is on the Company Board of Directors of (i) each committee of the Company Board of Directors, and (ii) each committee (or similar body) of the Company Board of Directors, in each case only to the extent required by applicable Law or the rules of any stock exchange on which the Shares are listed. Subject to applicable Law, the Company shall take all action reasonably requested by Parent necessary to effect any such election, including mailing to its stockholders the Information Statement containing the information required by Section 14(f) of the Exchange Act and Rule 14f-1 promulgated thereunder, and the Company shall make such mailing with the mailing of the Schedule 14D-9 (provided that Sub shall have provided to the Company on a timely basis all information required to be included in the Information Statement with respect to Sub’s designees). In connection with the foregoing, the Company shall promptly,

- 55 -

at the option of Sub, either increase the size of the Company Board of Directors or obtain the resignation of such number of its current directors, or both, as is necessary to enable Sub’s designees to be elected or appointed to the Company Board of Directors as provided above.

(b) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if Parent’s designees constitute a majority of the Company Board of Directors after the Acceptance Time and prior to the Effective Time, then the affirmative vote of a majority of the Independent Directors (or if only one (1) exists, then the vote of such Independent Director) shall be required to (i) amend or terminate this Agreement by the Company or by mutual written consent, (ii) exercise or waive any of the Company’s rights, benefits or remedies hereunder, if such action would materially and adversely affect holders of Shares other than Parent or Sub, (iii) amend the certificate of incorporation or bylaws of the Company, (iv) take any other action of the Company Board of Directors under or in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby; (v) extend the time for performance of any of the obligations of the Parent or the Sub hereunder, (vi) waive any condition to the Company’s obligations hereunder, or (vii) authorize any agreement between the Company, on the one hand, and the Parent, Sub or any of their Affiliates, on the other hand. The Independent Directors shall have, and the Parent shall cause the Independent Directors to have, the authority to retain such counsel (which may include current counsel to the Company) and other advisors (which may include current advisors to the Company) at the expense of the Company as determined by the Independent Directors, and the authority to institute any action on behalf of the Company to enforce performance of this Agreement.

6.11 Employee Matters. If the employment of any Company employee is terminated on or prior to the first anniversary of the Effective Time under circumstances under which such Company employee would have received severance benefits under the Company’s severance policy as set forth in Section 6.11 of the Company Disclosure Schedule, Parent will cause the Surviving Corporation to provide such Company employee with severance benefits that are at least equal to the severance benefits that would have been paid under such Company severance policy. The provisions of this Section 6.11 are solely for the benefit of the parties to this Agreement, and no provision of this Section 6.11 is intended to, or shall, constitute the establishment or adoption of or an amendment to any employee benefit plan for purposes of ERISA or otherwise and no current or former employee or any other individual associated therewith shall be regarded for any purpose as a third party beneficiary of the Agreement or have the right to enforce the provisions hereof.

6.12 401(k). Except with the prior written consent of Parent, during the period from the date of this Agreement to the Effective Time, the Company shall not (i) make any discretionary contribution to the Company’s 401(k) plan, other than employer matching contributions at the rate in effect immediately prior to the date of this Agreement, or (ii) make any required contribution to the Company’s 401(k) plan in Shares. If requested by Parent in writing, the Company shall terminate the Company’s 401(k) plan immediately prior to the Effective Time.

6.13 FIRPTA Certificate. Prior to each of the Acceptance Time and the Effective Time, the Company shall execute and deliver to Parent and Sub a certificate substantially in the form provided by, and in accordance with, Treasury Regulation sections 1.1445-2(c)(3) and

- 56 -

1.897-2(h), such form to be reasonably satisfactory to Parent, certifying that the Shares do not constitute “United States real property interests” within the meaning of Section 897(c)(1) of the Code and the regulations thereunder, establishing that no withholding is required with respect to payments in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (a “FIRPTA Certificate”). If Parent and Sub shall have failed to receive a FIRPTA Certificate prior to each of the Acceptance Time and the Effective Time, Parent and Sub may withhold, or cause to be withheld, from any amounts payable or otherwise deliverable in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in accordance with the requirements of section 1445 of the Code.

(ii) if the Acceptance Time has not occurred by November 9, 2011 (the “Outside Date”); provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to

this Section 8.1(b)(ii) shall not be available to any party whose failure to fulfill any obligation under this Agreement has been the principal cause of, or resulted in, the failure of the Acceptance Time to occur by such date;

(c) By Parent if, prior to the Acceptance Time, there has been a breach by the Company of, or inaccuracy in, any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement of the Company set forth in this Agreement, which breach or inaccuracy has resulted in the conditions set forth in paragraphs (c) or (d) of Annex I not being satisfied (and such breach or inaccuracy has not been cured or such condition has not been satisfied within twenty (20) days following notice by Parent thereof or such breach or inaccuracy is not reasonably capable of being cured);

(d) By the Company if, prior to the Acceptance Time, there has been a breach by Parent or Sub of, or any inaccuracy in, any representation, warranty, covenant or other agreement of Parent or Sub set forth in this Agreement, which breach or inaccuracy is reasonably expected to prevent Parent or Sub from performing in all material respects its obligations and covenants required to be performed by it under this Agreement (and such breach or inaccuracy has not been cured within twenty (20) days following notice by the Company thereof or such breach or inaccuracy is not reasonably capable of being cured);

(e) By Parent, at any time prior to the Acceptance Time, if (i) (A) the Company Board of Directors shall have effected an Adverse Recommendation Change (including an Adverse Recommendation Change pursuant to Section 5.2(e)), (B) the Company Board of Directors shall have recommended (or publicly proposed to do so) to the Company’s stockholders an Acquisition Proposal (other than the Offer and the Merger) or approved any such Acquisition Proposal (or publicly proposed to do so), or the Company shall have publicly announced its intention to enter into an Alternative Acquisition Agreement or shall have entered into an Alternative Acquisition Agreement, (C) following the date any Acquisition Proposal or any material modification thereto is first made public, sent or given to the shareholders of the Company, the Company fails to issue a press release that expressly reaffirms the Company Board of Directors’ recommendation in support of the Offer and the Merger within five (5) Business Days following Parent’s written request to do so (which request may only be made once with respect to any such Acquisition Proposal and each material modification thereto), or (D) the Company Board of Directors shall have failed to recommend against, or taken a neutral position with respect to, a tender or exchange offer related to an Acquisition Proposal (other than the Offer and the Merger) in any position taken pursuant to Rules 14d-9 and 14e-2 under the Exchange Act within ten (10) business days after the commencement of such tender or exchange offer; or (ii) the Company shall have violated or breached in any material respect its obligations under Section 5.2 and prior to termination under this Section 8.1(e)(ii) the Company has received an Acquisition Proposal;

- 58 -

such failure to commence the Offer has resulted from the breach of this Agreement by the Company or if the Company has not provided Sub with a Schedule 14D-9 the Company is prepared to file, without further revisions, upon commencement of the Offer; provided, further that the Company may not terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1(g) after such time as Sub has commenced the Offer; or

(h) By the Parent or the Company if the Offer (as it may have been extended pursuant to Section 1.1(a)) expires as a result of the non-satisfaction of the conditions of the Offer, without Sub having accepted for payment any Shares validly tendered (and not withdrawn) pursuant to the Offer; provided, however, that a party hereto shall not be permitted to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1(h) if the non-satisfaction of the conditions of the Offer is attributable to the failure of such party to fulfill any of its obligations under this Agreement.

8.2 Effect of Termination.

(a) Any termination of this Agreement under Section 8.1 hereof will be effective immediately upon the delivery of a written notice of the terminating party to the other party hereto and, in the case of a termination by the Company pursuant to Section 8.1(f), payment of the Termination Fee.

(b) If Parent shall have terminated this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(e)(i), the Company shall promptly pay Parent a termination fee (the “Termination Fee”) of $2,250,000, but in no event later than two (2) business days after the date of receipt of Parent’s termination notice. If the Company intends to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(f), it shall, in connection with and as a condition to such termination, pay Parent the Termination Fee. If Parent terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(c), Section 8.1(e)(ii) or Section 8.1(h) (and in the case of termination pursuant to Section 8.1(h) there has been, prior to such termination, a material breach of Section 5.2 of this Agreement), and prior to such termination an Acquisition Proposal has been made (in the case of termination pursuant to Section 8.1(c) or Section 8.1(e)(ii)) or publicly announced and not publicly withdrawn (in the case of termination pursuant to Section 8.1(h)), then the Company shall pay Parent the Termination Fee upon signing a definitive agreement for a transaction relating to an Acquisition Proposal (or if earlier, the consummation of a transaction contemplated by an Acquisition Proposal), provided such signing (or, if earlier, such consummation) occurs within twelve (12)

- 59 -

months after the date of such termination (provided that for purposes of this sentence, all references to fifteen percent (15%) in the definition of “Acquisition Proposal” shall be deemed to be references to fifty percent (50%)). All amounts due hereunder shall be payable by wire transfer in immediately available funds to such account as Parent may designate in writing to the Company. If the Company fails to promptly make any payment required under this Section 8.2(b) and Parent commences a suit to collect such payment, the Company shall reimburse Parent’s reasonable fees and expenses (including reasonable attorneys fees and expenses) incurred in connection with such suit and shall pay interest on the amount of the payment at the prime rate of Bank of America (or its successors or assigns) in effect on the date the payment was payable pursuant to this Section 8.2(b).

(c) The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that in no event shall the Company be required to pay the Termination Fee on more than one occasion, whether or not the Termination Fee may be payable under more than one provision of this Agreement at the same or at different times and the occurrence of different events.

8.3 Fees and Expenses. Except as set forth in Section 8.2, all fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be paid by the party incurring such expenses whether or not the Merger is consummated. On or before the second (2^nd) business day prior to expiration of the Offer, if requested by Parent, the Company shall deliver to Parent invoices from all third parties for Company Transaction Expenses, which invoices shall include all fees and expenses payable to such third parties as of the date such invoices are delivered to Parent together with an estimate of all fees and expenses to be incurred through the Effective Time.

8.4 Amendment. Subject to applicable Law and as otherwise provided in the Agreement, this Agreement may be amended, modified and supplemented in any and all respects, whether before or after any vote of the stockholders of the Company contemplated hereby, by written agreement of the parties hereto, but after the purchase of Shares pursuant to the Offer, no amendment shall be made which decreases the Merger Consideration and, after the approval of this Agreement by the stockholders, no amendment shall be made which by Law requires further approval by such stockholders without obtaining such further approval. This Agreement may not be amended except by an instrument in writing signed on behalf of each of the parties hereto.

8.5 Waiver. At any time prior to the Effective Time, either party hereto may (a) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the other party hereto or (b) waive compliance with any of the agreements of the other party or any conditions to its own obligations, in each case only to the extent such obligations, agreements and conditions are intended for its benefit; provided, that any such extension or waiver shall be binding upon a party only if such extension or waiver is set forth in a writing executed by such party.

1. Certain Covenants.

1.1 Lock-Up. Subject to Section 1.5, except as contemplated by the Merger Agreement, [Note: For Stockholder party to 10b5-1 plan only: or pursuant to the terms of the trading plan listed on Schedule II hereto, adopted pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act prior to the date of this Agreement,] Stockholder hereby covenants and agrees that between the date hereof and the Termination Date (as defined below), Stockholder will not (a) directly or indirectly, sell, transfer, assign, pledge, hypothecate, tender, encumber or otherwise dispose of or limit its right to vote in any manner any of the Securities, or agree to do any of the foregoing, or (b) take any action which would have the effect of preventing or disabling Stockholder from performing its obligations under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in connection

with any transfer not involving or relating to any Acquisition Proposal, Stockholder may transfer any or all of the Securities as follows: (i) in the case of a Stockholder that is an entity, to any subsidiary, partner or member of Stockholder, and (ii) in the case of an individual Stockholder, to Stockholder’s spouse, ancestors, descendants or any trust for any of their benefits or to a charitable trust; provided, however, that in any such case, prior to and as a condition to the effectiveness of such transfer, each person to which any of such Securities or any interest in any of such Securities is or may be transferred shall have executed and delivered to Parent and Sub a counterpart to this Agreement pursuant to which such person shall be bound by all of the terms and provisions of this Agreement.

1.2 No Solicitation. Between the date hereof and the Termination Date, except as permitted by Section 5.2 of the Merger Agreement, neither the Stockholder nor any director, officer, agent, representative, employee, advisor, attorney or accountant of Stockholder or those of its subsidiaries, in each case acting in his, her or its capacity as such (collectively, “Representatives”) shall, directly or indirectly, take any action, or cause an affiliate to take any action, that the Company is prohibited from taking under Section 5.2 of the Merger Agreement.

1.3 Certain Events. [Note: For Stockholder party to 10b5-1 plan only: Except pursuant to the terms of the trading plan listed on Schedule II hereto, adopted pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act prior to the date of this Agreement, this] [This] Agreement and the obligations hereunder will attach to the Securities and will be binding upon any person to which legal or beneficial ownership of any or all of the Securities passes, whether by operation of Law or otherwise, including without limitation, the Stockholder’s successors or assigns. This Agreement and the obligations hereunder will also attach to any additional Shares or other Securities of the Company issued to or acquired by the Stockholder prior to the Termination Date.

1.4 Grant of Proxy; Voting Agreement.

(a) The Stockholder has revoked or terminated any proxies, voting agreements or similar arrangements previously given or entered into with respect to the Securities and hereby irrevocably appoints Parent as proxy for Stockholder to vote the Securities, including the Shares beneficially owned as of the date hereof and set forth on Schedule I hereto, for Stockholder and in Stockholder’s name, place and stead, at any annual or special meeting, or at any adjournment thereof or pursuant to any consent of the stockholders of the Company, in lieu of a meeting or otherwise, whether before or after the Acceptance Time, (i) for the adoption of the Merger Agreement, and (ii) against any other action, agreement or transaction submitted for approval to the stockholders of the Company that would constitute an Acquisition Proposal. The parties acknowledge and agree that neither Parent, nor Parent’s successors, assigns, subsidiaries, divisions, employees, officers, directors, stockholders, agents and affiliates shall owe any duty to, whether in law or otherwise, or incur any liability of any kind whatsoever, including without limitation, with respect to any and all claims, losses, demands, causes of action, costs, expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees) and compensation of any kind or nature whatsoever to the Stockholder in connection with or as a result of any voting by Parent of the Securities or any execution of any consent. The parties acknowledge that, pursuant to the authority hereby granted under the irrevocable proxy, Parent may vote the Securities in

furtherance of its own interests, and Parent is not acting as a fiduciary for the Stockholder prior to the Termination Date.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing grant to Parent of the irrevocable proxy, if Parent elects not to exercise its rights to vote the Securities pursuant to the irrevocable proxy, Stockholder agrees to vote the Securities during the term of this Agreement in favor of or give its consent to, as applicable, a proposal to adopt the Merger Agreement as described in Section 1.4 at any annual or special meeting or action of the stockholders of the Company in lieu of a meeting or otherwise.

(c) This irrevocable proxy shall not be terminated by any act of the Stockholder or by operation of law, whether by the death or incapacity of the Stockholder or by the occurrence of any other event or events (including, without limiting the foregoing, the termination of any trust or estate for which Stockholder is acting as a fiduciary or fiduciaries or the dissolution or liquidation of any corporation or partnership). If between the execution hereof and the Termination Date, Stockholder should die or become incapacitated, or if any trust or estate holding the Securities should be terminated, or if any corporation or partnership holding the Securities should be dissolved or liquidated, or if any other such similar event or events shall occur before the Termination Date, certificates representing the Securities shall be delivered by or on behalf of Stockholder in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement and this Agreement, and actions taken by Parent hereunder shall be as valid as if such death, incapacity, termination, dissolution, liquidation or other similar event or events had not occurred, regardless of whether or not Parent has received notice of such death, incapacity, termination, dissolution, liquidation or other event.

1.5 Tender of Securities. Stockholder agrees, in exchange for the consideration described in the Merger Agreement, to tender the Shares beneficially owned as of the date hereof and set forth on Schedule I hereto to Sub in the Offer as soon as practicable following the commencement of the Offer, and in any event not later than five (5) business days following the commencement of the Offer.

Except as disclosed in the Merger Agreement, there are no amounts due or payable by the Company to the Stockholder in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement or this Agreement (other than any payments required under the Merger Agreement solely in exchange for equity securities of the Company).

3. Representations and Warranties of Parent and Sub. Parent and Sub hereby represent and warrant to Stockholder, as of the date hereof that:

3.1 Authorization. Parent and Sub have all requisite corporate power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. Parent and Sub have duly executed and delivered this Agreement and this Agreement is a legal, valid and binding agreement of each of Parent and Sub, enforceable against each of Parent and Sub in accordance with its terms, except to the extent enforceability may be limited by the effect of applicable bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, moratorium or other Laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and the effect of general principles of equity, regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding at Law or in equity.

3.2 No Violation. Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will violate, or cause a breach of or default under, any contract or agreement, any statute or law, or any judgment, decree, order, regulation or rule of any Governmental Entity, except for such violations, breaches or defaults

which are not reasonably likely to prevent, or materially delay, the ability of either Parent or Sub to satisfy its obligations under this Agreement.

4. Survival of Representations and Warranties. None of the representations and warranties in this Agreement shall survive the Termination Date. The respective representations and warranties of Stockholder, Parent and Sub contained herein shall not be deemed waived or otherwise affected by any investigation made by the other party hereto.

5. Specific Performance. Stockholder acknowledges that Sub and Parent will be irreparably harmed and that there will be no adequate remedy at law for a violation of any of the covenants or agreements of Stockholder which are contained in this Agreement. It is accordingly agreed that, in addition to any other remedies which may be available to Sub and Parent upon the breach by Stockholder of such covenants and agreements, Sub and Parent shall have the right to obtain injunctive relief to restrain any breach or threatened breach of such covenants or agreements or otherwise to obtain specific performance of any of such covenants or agreements.

6. Miscellaneous.

6.1 Term. This Agreement and all obligations hereunder shall terminate upon the earlier of (i) the day after the Merger is consummated, (ii) the Outside Date, (iii) the date of any modification, waiver or amendment to the Merger Agreement in a manner that reduces the amount or changes the form of consideration payable thereunder to the Stockholder, and (iv) the termination of the Merger Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1 thereof (the earliest of (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv), the “Termination Date”). Upon termination of this Agreement, no party shall have any further obligations or liabilities under this Agreement; provided, however, that (i) nothing set forth in this Section 6.1 shall relieve any party from liability for fraud or any willful breach of this Agreement prior to termination hereof, and (ii) the provisions of this Article 6 shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

6.2 Fiduciary Duties. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary: (a) the Stockholder makes no agreement or understanding herein in any capacity other than in the Stockholder’s capacity as a record holder and beneficial owner of Securities, and not in such Stockholder’s capacity as a director, officer or employee of the Company or in such Stockholder’s capacity as a trustee or fiduciary of any Employee Benefit Plan, and (b) nothing herein will be construed to limit or affect any action or inaction by the Stockholder or any Representative of the Stockholder, as applicable, serving on the Company Board of Directors or as an officer or fiduciary of the Company, acting in such person’s capacity as a director, officer, employee or fiduciary of the Company.

6.3 Expenses. Each of the parties hereto shall pay its own expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement. Each of the parties hereto warrants and covenants to the others that it will bear all claims for brokerage fees attributable to action taken by it.

6.4 Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the parties hereto and their respective representatives and permitted successors and assigns.

6.5 Entire Agreement. This Agreement contains the entire understanding of the parties and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings between the parties with respect to its subject matter. This Agreement may be amended only by a written instrument duly executed by the parties hereto.

6.6 Headings. The headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

No party may assign either this Agreement or any of its rights, interests, or obligations hereunder without the prior written approval of the other parties; provided, however, that each of Parent and Sub may freely assign its rights to another direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Parent or Sub without such prior written approval but no such assignment shall relieve Parent or Sub of any of its obligations hereunder. Any purported assignment requiring consent without such consent shall be void.

6.8 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts (including by facsimile or by an electronic scan delivered by electronic mail), each of which shall be an original, but each of which together shall constitute one and the same Agreement.

6.9 Notices.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:

1.	Development Milestone Payments

The parties agree that, from and after the date of this Third Amendment, no Development Milestone Payments shall be due or payable by Pfizer to Icagen, nor shall Pfizer be required to notify Icagen of the achievement of any Development Event, in each case, under Section 4.4 of the Amended Collaborative Agreement, provided that, if the Merger Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 8.1 of the Merger Agreement, then this Section 1.1 of this Third Amendment shall terminate and all Development Milestone Payment obligations and notification obligations with respect to the achievement of Development Events shall

thereupon be reinstated (a “Reinstatement”).

1.2

Upon a Reinstatement, any Development Milestone Payment(s) that would have been due and payable by Pfizer to Icagen but for this Third Amendment, shall be paid by Pfizer in accordance with the terms of the Amended Collaborative Agreement with interest from the date such payment would have been payable without regard to this Third Amendment (the “Interest Start Date”) until the date paid at a rate equal to the prime rate of Citibank, NA as announced on the Interest Start Date plus three percent (3%), compounded on a calendar quarterly basis. Except as provided in Section 2.1, this Section 1.2 shall survive any expiration or termination of the Amended Collaborative Agreement.

A termination of the Amended Collaborative Agreement prior to the date of any termination of the Merger Agreement shall not relieve Pfizer of an obligation to make a Development Milestone Payment under Section 10.4 of the Amended Collaborative Agreement, as reinstated pursuant to a Reinstatement, following the termination of the Merger Agreement, if such Development Milestone Payment would otherwise have been due and payable without regard to this Third Amendment.

1.4

Pfizer shall notify Icagen within ten (10) days after a Reinstatement of any Development Events that were completed prior to such Reinstatement and not previously reported to Icagen.

1.5

Pfizer shall not set-off any obligation or liability of Icagen pursuant to the Merger Agreement or any related agreement against any payment obligation of Pfizer under the Amended Collaborative Agreement or Section 1.2 of this Third Amendment.
