ARTICLE 2
THE MERGER

Section 2.01. The Closing. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, the closing of the Merger (the “Closing”) will take place at 8:00 a.m., Pacific time, as soon as practicable (and, in any event, within two (2) Business Days) after satisfaction or, to the extent permitted hereunder, waiver of all conditions to the Merger set forth in Article 7 (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing), unless this Agreement has been terminated pursuant to its terms or unless another time or date is agreed to in writing by the Parties. The Closing shall be held at the offices of Xxxxxx & Xxxxxxx LLP, 000 Xxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxx Xxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx 00000, unless another place is agreed to in writing by the Parties. The date upon which the Closing shall occur is referred to herein as the “Closing Date.”

Section 2.02. The Merger. (a) Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, as soon as practicable after the Closing, the Company shall file with the Delaware Secretary of State a certificate of merger (the “Certificate of Merger”) in connection with the Merger in such form as is required by, and executed and acknowledged in accordance with, Delaware Law. The Merger shall become effective on such date and at such time (the “Effective Time”) as the Certificate of Merger has been duly filed with the Delaware Secretary of State (or at such later time as may be agreed by the Parties that is specified in the Certificate of Merger).

(b) At the Effective Time, Merger Subsidiary shall be merged with and into the Company in accordance with Delaware Law, whereupon the separate existence of Merger Subsidiary shall cease, and the Company shall be the Surviving Corporation. From and after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall possess all the rights, powers, privileges and franchises and be subject to all of the obligations, liabilities, restrictions and disabilities of the Company and Merger Subsidiary, all as provided under Delaware Law.

Section 2.03. Conversion of Company Stock and Warrants. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the Parties, the holders of any shares of capital stock of the Company, Parent or Merger Subsidiary or the holders of the Company Warrants:

(a) Conversion of Company Stock. Subject to Sections 2.03(d) and 2.03(e), each share of Company Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, including the associated rights of the Company to the extent outstanding (the “Company Rights”), pursuant to the Company Rights Agreement, shall be converted into the right to receive 0.2006 of a share of Parent Stock (the “Exchange Ratio”) (the “Merger Consideration”). All such shares of Company Stock and related rights shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist, and each certificate previously representing any such shares and related rights shall thereafter, subject to the provisions of this Agreement, represent the right to receive the shares of Parent Stock into which such Company Stock and related rights were converted in the Merger.

(b) Conversion of Company Warrants. Subject to Section 2.03(e), each Company Warrant issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be cancelled and extinguished and, in accordance with its terms, shall be converted into the right to receive a positive number of whole shares of Parent Stock, if any, equal to the Exchange Ratio multiplied by the Net Issue Warrant Shares applicable to such Company Warrant. For the avoidance of doubt, if the number of Net Issue Warrant Shares applicable to a Company Warrant is zero, then no shares of Parent Stock shall be issued in connection with the cancellation and termination of such Company Warrant.

(c) Merger Subsidiary Common Stock. Each share of common stock of Merger Subsidiary outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and become one (1) share of common stock of the Surviving Corporation with the same rights, powers and privileges as the shares so converted and shall constitute the only outstanding shares of capital stock of the Surviving Corporation.

(d) Treasury Shares. Each share of Company Stock held in the treasury of the Company or owned, directly or indirectly, by Parent or Merger Subsidiary immediately prior to the Effective Time (collectively, “Treasury Shares”) shall automatically be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist, and no consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor.

(e) Treatment of Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Parent Stock shall be issued in the Merger. All fractional shares of Parent Stock that a holder of shares of Company Stock would otherwise be entitled to receive as a result of the Merger shall be aggregated and if a fractional share results from such aggregation, such holder shall be entitled to receive, in lieu thereof, an amount in cash (rounded up to the nearest whole cent) without interest determined by multiplying the closing sale price of a share of Parent Stock on NASDAQ on the trading day immediately preceding the Effective Time (as reported in the Wall Street Journal, National Edition) by the fraction of a share of Parent Stock to which such holder would otherwise have been entitled.

(f) Changes in Capitalization. If, between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time, any change in the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company or Parent shall occur by reason of any reclassification, recapitalization, stock split or combination, exchange or readjustment of shares, or any stock dividend thereon with a record date during such period, the Merger Consideration, Exchange Ratio and any other amounts payable pursuant to this Agreement, as applicable, shall be appropriately adjusted.

Section 2.04. Company Options; Company ESPP. (a) Stock Options. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 2.04(a), at the Effective Time by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holders thereof, each Company Option that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether or not then vested or exercisable, shall be assumed by Parent and converted automatically at the Effective Time into an option denominated in shares of Parent Stock and which has other terms and conditions substantially identical to those of the related Company Option except that (i) each Company Option will be exercisable (or will become exercisable in accordance with its terms) for that number of whole shares of Parent Stock equal to the product of the number of shares of Company Stock that were issuable upon exercise of such Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by the Exchange Ratio, rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares of Parent Stock, (ii) the per share exercise price for the shares of Parent Stock issuable upon exercise of such assumed Company Option will be equal to the quotient determined by dividing the exercise price per share of Company Stock at which such Company Option was exercisable immediately prior to the Effective Time by the Exchange Ratio, rounded up to the nearest whole cent and (iii) any vesting acceleration provisions in the Company Options so assumed that are triggered (or potentially triggered with respect to “double trigger” acceleration provisions) by virtue of a change of control of the Company shall, for the avoidance of doubt, be deemed to have been triggered by virtue of the Merger. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in lieu of assuming such Company Options as described in the preceding sentence, Parent may, in its discretion, elect to terminate each such Company Option and grant the holder thereof, pursuant to its 1982 Stock Option Plan or its 1986 Stock Plan, a substitute option to purchase shares of Parent Stock (a “Substitute Option”), and each Substitute Option shall provide for the right to purchase the number of shares of Parent Stock (and an exercise price per share of Parent Stock) as determined in accordance with the preceding sentence, and except as otherwise described in this Section 2.04, the Substitute Option shall provide for equivalent terms and conditions as the corresponding Company Option for which it was substituted. In no case shall the exchange of a Company Option (or grant of a Substitute Option) be performed in a manner that is not in compliance with the adjustment requirements of Section 409A of the Code. The Company agrees that the assumption and adjustment of Company Options (or grant of a Substitute Option) in accordance with this Section 2.04(a) shall preserve the compensation element of each Company Option as of the Effective Time.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless determined otherwise by Parent, each Company Option that is held by a person who is not an employee of, or a consultant to, the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time (the “Non-Assumed Options”) shall not be assumed (or substituted for) by Parent pursuant to this Section 2.04 and shall, immediately prior to the Effective Time, be canceled and extinguished and the vested portion thereof shall automatically be converted into the right to receive an amount in cash, if any, equal to the product obtained by multiplying (x) the aggregate number of shares of Company Stock that were issuable upon exercise or settlement of such Non-Assumed Option immediately prior to the Effective Time (for these purposes, after giving effect to any vesting acceleration provisions that would be triggered by virtue of the Merger) and (y) the product of the Exchange Ratio and the closing sale price of a share of Parent Stock on NASDAQ on the trading day immediately preceding the Effective Time (as reported in the Wall Street Journal, National Edition), less any per share exercise price of such Non-Assumed Option. All Company Options held by non-employee members of the Board of Directors of the Company shall be Non-Assumed Options for purposes of this Agreement and converted into the right to receive cash pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence to the extent such options have been outstanding for not less than six months immediately prior to the Closing or are otherwise vested pursuant to their terms. Parent shall take such actions as are necessary for the assumption and conversion of (or substitution for) the Company Options pursuant to this Section 2.04, including the reservation, issuance and listing of Parent Stock as is necessary to effectuate the transactions contemplated by this Section 2.04. As soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time, Parent shall deliver to each holder of any Company Option an appropriate notice setting forth such holder’s rights pursuant to such Company Option (or, if applicable, an agreement evidencing the Substitute Option). If Parent assumes the Company Options, Parent shall prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement on Form S-8 with respect to the shares of common stock of Parent issuable upon exercise of the assumed Company Options promptly (but in no event later than fifteen (15) Business Days) following the Effective Time and Parent shall exercise commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement for so long as such assumed Company Options remain outstanding. The Company and its counsel shall reasonably cooperate with and assist Parent in the preparation of such registration statement.

(b) ESPP. The Company shall take such action as may be necessary to (i) establish that any Offering Period (as defined under the Company ESPP) then in progress under the Company ESPP shall terminate on the last day of the payroll period ending immediately prior to the Effective Time (but in all events at least five (5) Business Days prior to the Effective Time) (the “ESPP Termination Date”), (ii) provide that no further Offering Periods shall commence under the Company ESPP on or following the ESPP Termination Date and (iii) terminate the Company ESPP as of the ESPP Termination Date. Each outstanding purchase right under the Company ESPP on the ESPP Termination Date shall be exercised on such date for the purchase of Company Stock in accordance with the terms of the Company ESPP.

Section 2.05. Exchange Procedures. (a) Exchange Agent; Letters of Transmittal. Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall appoint an agent (the “Exchange Agent”) for the purpose of exchanging for the Merger Consideration (i) certificates representing shares of Company Stock (the “Certificates”) or (ii) uncertificated shares of Company Stock (the “Uncertificated Shares”). Parent shall make available to the Exchange Agent, as needed, the Merger Consideration to be paid in respect of the Certificates and the Uncertificated Shares. Promptly after the Effective Time, Parent shall send, or shall cause the Exchange Agent to send, to each holder of shares of Company Stock at the Effective Time a letter of transmittal and instructions (which shall specify that the delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title shall pass, only upon proper delivery of the Certificates or transfer of the Uncertificated Shares to the Exchange Agent, and shall be in such form and have such other provisions as Parent or the Exchange Agent shall reasonably specify) for use in such exchange.

(b) Surrender and Payment. Each Company Stockholder that holds Company Stock converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration shall be entitled to receive, upon (i) surrender to the Exchange Agent of a Certificate, together with a properly completed letter of transmittal, or (ii) receipt of an “agent’s message” by the Exchange Agent (or such other evidence, if any, of transfer as the Exchange Agent may reasonably request) in the case of a book-entry transfer of Uncertificated Shares, the Merger Consideration without interest in respect of the Company Stock represented by a Certificate or Uncertificated Share. The shares of Parent Stock constituting part of such Merger Consideration, at Parent’s option, shall be in uncertificated book-entry form, unless a physical certificate is requested by a holder of shares of Company Stock or is otherwise required under Applicable Law. Until so surrendered or transferred, as the case may be, each such Certificate or Uncertificated Share shall represent after the Effective Time for all purposes only the right to receive such Merger Consideration.

(c) Transfers of Ownership. If any portion of the Merger Consideration is to be paid to a Person other than the Person in whose name the surrendered Certificate or the transferred Uncertificated Share is registered, it shall be a condition to such payment that (i) either such Certificate shall be properly endorsed or shall otherwise be in proper form for transfer or such Uncertificated Share shall be properly transferred and (ii) the Person requesting such payment shall pay to the Exchange Agent any transfer or other taxes required as a result of such payment to a Person other than the registered holder of such Certificate or Uncertificated Share or establish to the satisfaction of the Exchange Agent that such tax has been paid or is not payable.

(d) Stock Transfer Books. After the Effective Time, there shall be no further registration of transfers of shares of Company Stock. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates or Uncertificated Shares are presented to the Surviving Corporation, they shall be canceled and exchanged for the Merger Consideration provided for, and in accordance with the procedures set forth, in this Article 2.

(e) Return of Merger Consideration. Any portion of the Merger Consideration (and any interest or other income earned thereon) made available to the Exchange Agent pursuant to Section 2.05(a) that remains unclaimed by Company Stockholders six (6) months after the Effective Time shall be returned to Parent, upon demand, and any such holder who has not exchanged shares of Company Stock for the Merger Consideration in accordance with this Section 2.05 prior to that time shall thereafter look only to Parent (subject to abandoned property, escheat or other similar laws) for payment of the Merger Consideration, and any dividends and distributions with respect thereto, in respect of such shares without any interest thereon. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Parent shall not be liable to any Company Stockholder for any amounts paid to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar laws.

(f) Lost Certificates. If any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Parent, of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by Parent or the Exchange Agent, the posting by such Person of a bond in such amount as Parent or the Exchange Agent may determine is reasonably necessary as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it or the Surviving Corporation with respect to such Certificate, and upon the delivery to the Exchange Agent of a duly completed letter of transmittal in accordance with this Section 2.05, following the Effective Time the Exchange Agent will deliver in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate the Merger Consideration payable in respect thereof pursuant to this Agreement, without interest.

(g) Dividends on Parent Stock. No dividends or other distributions with respect to shares of Parent Stock constituting part of the Merger Consideration, and no cash payment in lieu of fractional shares as provided in Section 2.03(e), shall be paid to the holder of any Certificates not surrendered or of any Uncertificated Shares not transferred until such Certificates or Uncertificated Shares are surrendered or transferred, as the case may be, as provided in Section 2.04 or this Section 2.05. Following such surrender or transfer, there shall be paid, without interest, to the Person in whose name such shares of Parent Stock have been registered, (i) promptly following such surrender or transfer, the amount of any cash payable in lieu of fractional shares to which such Person is entitled pursuant to Section 2.03(e) and the amount of all dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time previously paid or payable on the date of such surrender with respect to such shares of Parent Stock and (ii) at the appropriate payment date, the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time and prior to surrender or transfer and with a payment date subsequent to surrender or transfer payable with respect to such shares of Parent Stock.

(h) Withholding. Parent, Merger Subsidiary, the Surviving Corporation and the Exchange Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable to holders of Company Stock, Company Options or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as Parent, Merger Subsidiary, the Surviving Corporation or the Exchange Agent is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code, or any provision of state, local or foreign tax law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld and paid over to the appropriate Governmental Authority, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.

No investigation, claim, suit, proceeding, hearing, enforcement, audit, arbitration, review or other action by any Governmental Authority with respect to the Company or its Subsidiaries is pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened, nor, to the knowledge of the Company, has any Governmental Authority indicated an intention to conduct the same, other than in each case, investigations, claims, suits, proceedings, hearings, enforcements, audits, arbitrations, reviews or other actions that would not be a Company Material Adverse Effect. Since January 1, 2005, none of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries has received any correspondence or notices or actions from any other Governmental Authority asserting noncompliance with any Applicable Law, Company Permit or other requests or requirements of a Governmental Authority.

(b) Each Contract of the type described in Section 4.15(a)(i)-(xiv), whether or not set forth in Section 4.15(a) of the Company Disclosure Schedule, is referred to herein as a “Material Contract.” Complete and correct copies of all Material Contracts (as amended or modified), including all schedules and exhibits thereto, existing as of the date hereof are either publicly filed with the SEC or the Company has made available to Parent copies of such Contracts.

(c) Each Material Contract is a valid and binding obligation of the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company, as applicable, in full force and effect and enforceable against the Company or such Subsidiary in accordance with its terms, subject to the Bankruptcy and Equity Exceptions; to the Company’s knowledge, each Material Contract is a valid and binding obligation of the counterparty thereto, in full force and effect and enforceable against such counterparty in accordance with its terms, subject to the Bankruptcy and Equity Exceptions.

Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has incurred any liability for Taxes since the date of the most recent Company Financial Statements other than in the ordinary course of business. The Company has made available to Parent or its legal counsel copies of all material Tax Returns for the Company and each of its Subsidiaries filed since the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004.

(c) No deficiency for any material amount of Taxes has been proposed or asserted in writing or assessed by any Governmental Authority against the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that remains unpaid.

No claim has ever been made by any Governmental Authority in a jurisdiction where the Company and its Subsidiaries do not file Tax Returns that the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is or may be subject to Tax in that jurisdiction.

(d) Subject to such exceptions as would not be material, all Taxes required to be withheld or collected by the Company and each of its Subsidiaries have been withheld and collected and, to the extent required by Applicable Law, timely paid to the appropriate Governmental Authority.

(e) There are no Liens for Taxes upon any property or assets of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, except for Liens for current Taxes not yet due and payable that may thereafter be paid without interest or penalty, and Liens for Taxes being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and for which adequate reserves have been established on the Company Financial Statements in accordance with GAAP.

To the Company’s knowledge, the Company Registered IP is valid and enforceable, and no notice or claim challenging the validity, enforceability or scope of, or alleging the misuse of, any of the Company Registered IP has been received by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. The Company or a Subsidiary has (i) filed, prosecuted, perfected and maintained each item of Company Registered IP in compliance with all Applicable Laws, (ii) not taken any action or failed to take any action that could reasonably be expected to result in the abandonment, cancellation, forfeiture, relinquishment, invalidation or unenforceability of any of the Company Registered IP and (iii) timely paid all filing, examination, issuance, post registration and maintenance fees, annuities and the like associated with or required with respect to any of the Company Registered IP.

(c) Without limiting Section 4.18(b), the Company and its Subsidiaries have taken reasonable steps to maintain and protect their rights in the Intellectual Property owned or purported to be owned by the Company or its Subsidiaries (“Company Intellectual Property”) and to maintain the confidentiality of all of the Trade Secrets of the Company or its Subsidiaries. Without limiting the foregoing, no portion of the source code for any Company Intellectual Property that is software has been provided, disclosed or licensed to any escrow agent or other third party. Each current or former employee, consultant, contractor and other Person who has participated in the creation of any Company Intellectual Property (each, a “Contributor”) has entered into a written agreement that assigns to the Company all such Contributor’s right, title and interest in such Contributor’s contribution to the Company Intellectual Property, and to the extent that a right is not assignable, Contributor has waived any such right, including moral rights.

Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has made any submission or suggestion to, or entered into any Contract with, any standards bodies or other organizations that would obligate the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to grant licenses or that would otherwise impair the Company’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ control of the Company Intellectual Property.

(d) The Company and its Subsidiaries exclusively own all Company Intellectual Property free and clear of any Liens or joint ownership interests. None of the Company Intellectual Property is subject to any outstanding order, judgment, or stipulation restricting the use thereof by the Company or its Subsidiaries. No funding, facilities, or personnel of any Governmental Authority were used, directly or indirectly, to develop or create, in whole or in part, any Company Intellectual Property.

(e) The rights licensed under each agreement granting to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries any right or license under or with respect to any Intellectual Property owned by a third party (“In Licenses”) shall be exercisable by the Surviving Corporation on and after the Closing to the same extent as by the Company or its Subsidiaries prior to the Closing. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is in material breach of any In License and to the knowledge of the Company no counterparty to an In License is in material breach of any In License. No expiration or termination, in whole or in part, of any In License is pending or reasonably foreseeable or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is obligated to pay to any third party any license fees, royalties, or other amounts in connection with the distribution of products or the provision of services by the Company or any Subsidiary.

(f) Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has (i) assigned rights in or to any Intellectual Property to a third party, (ii) granted to any third party any exclusive rights under or to any Company Intellectual Property or (iii) granted any rights under or to any Company Intellectual Property other than non-exclusive licenses granted in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice in connection with the sale or distribution of the products of the Company or a Subsidiary.

(g) The Intellectual Property owned by or validly licensed to the Company and its Subsidiaries constitutes all the material Intellectual Property rights used in and necessary for the conduct of the business of the Company or its Subsidiaries as such business is currently conducted and proposed to be conducted.

(h) To the knowledge of the Company, neither the conduct of the business of the Company or its Subsidiaries, nor any of the products or services distributed, licensed, sold or offered by the Company and its Subsidiaries, nor any technology, materials or Intellectual Property used, sold, distributed or otherwise commercially exploited by or for the Company and its Subsidiaries, infringes upon, misappropriates or violates any Intellectual Property of any third party or constitutes unfair competition or trade practices under the laws of any jurisdiction, and neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has received any notice or claim asserting or suggesting that any such infringement, misappropriation, violation, or dilution, or unfair competition or trade practices, has occurred, nor, to the knowledge of the Company, is there any reasonable basis therefor. To the knowledge of the Company, no third party has made any unauthorized disclosure of any Trade Secrets of the Company or its Subsidiaries.

(i) Neither the execution, delivery, or performance of this Agreement nor the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated hereby will (with or without notice, lapse of time or both) result in, or give any other Person the right or option to cause or declare, (i) a loss or ownership of, or Lien on, any Company Intellectual Property, (ii) a breach, termination, acceleration or modification of any right or obligation under any Contract or any rights in or to any Intellectual Property, (iii) the release, disclosure or delivery of any Company Intellectual Property to any Person, including to or from any escrow agent or (iv) any grant, assignment, or transfer to any other Person of any license or other right or interest under, to or in any of the Company Intellectual Property.

(j) No product or technology of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries contains any “back door,” “drop dead device,” “time bomb,” “Trojan horse,” “virus,” “worm,” “spyware” or “adware” (as such terms are commonly understood in the software industry) or similar function or code designed or intended to have any of the following functions: (i) disrupting, disabling, harming or otherwise purposefully impeding in any manner the operation of, or providing unauthorized access to, a computer system, device or network or (ii) compromising the privacy or security of a user or damaging or destroying any data or file without the user’s consent.

No event has occurred, and no circumstance or condition exists, that (with or without notice or lapse of time, or both) will, or would reasonably be expected to, result in the disclosure or delivery by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to any Person of any such source code, and no portions of such source code have been disclosed, delivered or licensed to any Person.

As used herein, “Permitted Liens” means (i) Liens for current Taxes accrued or reserved on the books and records of the Company but not yet due and payable and (ii) Liens, whether or not of record, which in the aggregate do not materially affect the continued use of the Company’s assets or properties for the purposes for which they are currently being used.

Correct and complete copies of such leases and all other instruments granting such leasehold interests, rights, options or other interests as of the date hereof (the “Property Leases”) (including all amendments, modifications and supplements thereto) have been made available to Parent. Each Property Lease is a valid and binding obligation of the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company, as applicable, in full force and effect and enforceable against the Company or such Subsidiary in accordance with its terms, subject to the Bankruptcy and Equity Exceptions; to the Company’s knowledge, each Property Lease is a valid and binding obligation of the counterparty thereto, in full force and effect and enforceable against such counterparty in accordance with its terms, subject to the Bankruptcy and Equity Exceptions. Consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement does not require the consent of any party to and will not constitute an event of default under or permit any party to terminate or change the existing terms of any Property Lease.

(d) To the Company’s knowledge, the Leased Property is adequate for the operation of the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries in substantially the same manner as conducted as of the date hereof. All of the buildings, material fixtures and other improvements situated on the Leased Property and all other material items of property are in good condition and in a reasonable state of repair (normal wear and tear excepted), and maintenance of such items has not been deferred beyond a reasonable time period.

Subject to and without limiting the rights of the Board of Directors of the Company pursuant to Section 6.04(b), the Company Proxy Statement shall include the Company Board Recommendation. Subject to Section 6.04(b), the Board of Directors of the Company shall publicly reaffirm such recommendation at any time prior to the Company Stockholder Meeting within forty-eight (48) hours following any request to do so by Parent.

Provided this Agreement has not otherwise been terminated pursuant to Section 8.01, the Company’s obligations pursuant to this Section 6.03(d) shall not be affected by the public announcement or public disclosure of, or the communication to the Company of, any Acquisition Proposal or inquiry or indication of interest with respect thereto, or by an Adverse Recommendation Change.

Section 6.04. No Solicitation; Other Offers. (a) Subject to Section 6.04(b), the Company shall not, and the Company shall cause its Subsidiaries and its and their Representatives not to, directly or indirectly, (i) solicit, initiate or take any action to facilitate or encourage any inquiries or indication of interests regarding, or the making or submission of any proposal or offer that constitutes, or could reasonably be expected to result in, any Acquisition Proposal, (ii) enter into or participate in any discussions or negotiations regarding any Acquisition Proposal or any inquiry or indication of interest with respect thereto, or furnish or disclose any information relating to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or afford access to the business, properties, assets, books or records of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to, or otherwise cooperate in any way with, or take any action to facilitate or encourage any effort by, any Third Party that is seeking to make, or has made, any Acquisition Proposal or any inquiry or indication of interest with respect thereto, (iii) withhold, amend, withdraw or modify in a manner adverse to Parent, the Company Board Recommendation (or recommend any Acquisition Proposal, or any inquiry or indication of interest with respect thereto, or take any action or make any statement inconsistent with the Company Board Recommendation) (any of the foregoing in this clause (iii), an “Adverse Recommendation Change”) or (iv) enter into any agreement, agreement in principle, letter of intent, term sheet or other similar instrument relating to any Acquisition Proposal. The Company shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries and its and their Representatives to, immediately cease and cause to be terminated any discussions or negotiations with any Third Party (other than Parent and its Representatives) that may be ongoing as of the date hereof with respect to any actual or potential Acquisition Proposal or any inquiry or indication of interest with respect thereto. The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, in accordance with the terms of any applicable confidentiality agreement, the return or destruction of any confidential information previously furnished to any such Person by the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of its or their Representatives.

(b) (i) Notwithstanding Section 6.04(a), at any time prior to obtaining the Company Stockholder Approval, in response to a bona fide Acquisition Proposal received by the Company after the date hereof that was not solicited in violation of Section 6.04(a), or, prior to the date of this Agreement in violation of the Confidentiality Agreement, and with respect to which the Board of Directors of the Company determines in good faith (after consultation with its outside legal counsel and financial advisors) (i) that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes, or could reasonably be expected to lead to, a Superior Proposal and (ii) that taking the actions set forth in clauses (A), (B) or (C) below with respect to such Acquisition Proposal is necessary in order to comply with its fiduciary duties under Applicable Law, the Board of Directors of the Company, directly or indirectly through its Representatives, may, in response to such Acquisition Proposal, and subject to compliance with Section 6.04(c) and Section 6.04(d), (A) provide access to its properties, Contracts, personnel, books and records and furnish information, data and/or draft agreements with respect to the Company and its Subsidiaries to the Person making such Acquisition Proposal and its Representatives, (B) participate in discussions or negotiations with the Person making such Acquisition Proposal and its Representatives regarding such Acquisition Proposal or (C) in the event that the Board of Directors of the Company determines in good faith (after consultation with its outside legal counsel and financial advisors) that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal, make an Adverse Recommendation Change and/or enter into an agreement regarding such Superior Proposal; provided, however, that the Board of Directors of the Company shall not make an Adverse Recommendation Change or enter into an agreement regarding any Superior Proposal unless (x) the Company has given Parent five (5) Business Days prior written notice of its intention to take such action (it being understood and agreed that any change to the consideration offered or other material terms of any Superior Proposal shall require an additional notice to Parent and a new five (5) Business Day notice period), (y) the Board of Directors of the Company shall have considered in good faith (after consultation with its outside legal counsel and financial advisors) any changes or revisions to this Agreement proposed by Parent and shall not have determined that the Superior Proposal would no longer constitute a Superior Proposal if such changes were to be given effect and (z) (1) the Company has complied in all material respects with its obligations under this Section 6.04 and (2) the Company shall have terminated this Agreement in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.01(d)(ii) hereof and the Company pays Parent the Company Termination Fee in accordance with Section 8.03.

(ii) Notwithstanding Section 6.04(a), at any time prior to obtaining the Company Stockholder Approval, if the Board of Directors of the Company determines in good faith (after consultation with its outside legal counsel and financial advisors) that an Adverse Recommendation Change is necessary in order to comply with its fiduciary duties under Applicable Law (other than in connection with an Acquisition Proposal, which shall be governed by Section 6.04(b)(i)), the Board of Directors of the Company may effect an Adverse Recommendation Change; provided, however, that the Board of Directors of the Company shall not make an Adverse Recommendation Change unless (x) the Company has given Parent five (5) Business Days prior written notice of its intention to take such action, (y) the Board of Directors of the Company shall have considered in good faith (after consultation with its outside legal counsel and financial advisors) any changes or revisions to this Agreement proposed by Parent and shall not have determined that the Adverse Recommendation Change is no longer necessary in order to comply with its fiduciary duties under Applicable Law.

(c) The Company shall promptly (and in any event within one (1) Business Day) advise Parent orally and in writing of the receipt by the Company or any of its Representatives of (i) any indication that a Third Party is considering making an Acquisition Proposal, (ii) any request for information by any Third Party that may be considering making an Acquisition Proposal or any inquiry or indication of interest with respect thereto, or (iii) any Acquisition Proposal, in each case, along with the identity of the Person making any such Acquisition Proposal, and, to the extent available, the Company shall provide Parent with a copy or a written summary of the material terms of any such Acquisition Proposal. The Company shall keep Parent reasonably informed of the status on a current basis (including any change to the material terms) of any such Acquisition Proposal, potential Acquisition Proposal or information request. Following a determination by the Board of Directors of the Company that an Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal, the Company shall deliver to Parent a written notice advising it that the Board of Directors of the Company has made such determination together with a copy of any draft or definitive agreements related to such Superior Proposal and a summary of the material terms of such Superior Proposal. The Company agrees that it shall not, and shall cause its Subsidiaries not to, enter into any confidentiality agreement or other agreement with any Person subsequent to the date of this Agreement which prohibits the Company from providing such information to Parent.

(d) Prior to furnishing any information to or entering into discussions or negotiations with any Person making an Acquisition Proposal pursuant to Sections 6.04(b) and 6.04(c), the Company shall receive from such Person an executed confidentiality agreement, the terms of which shall be no less favorable to the Company than, in the aggregate, those contained in the letter agreement dated as of December 31, 2008 between the Company and Parent, as amended (the “Confidentiality Agreement”) (a copy of which shall be provided for informational purposes only to Parent). The Company shall promptly provide to Parent any non-public information concerning the Company or any of its Subsidiaries not previously provided to Parent or the Parent Representatives that is provided to any Person making an Acquisition Proposal. The Company agrees that neither it nor any of its Subsidiaries shall terminate, waive, amend or modify any provision or any existing standstill or confidentiality agreement to which it or any of its Subsidiaries is a party, unless such action by the Board of Directors of the Company is necessary in order to comply with its fiduciary duties under Applicable Law (in which case, such termination, waiver, amendment or modification shall also apply to the Confidentiality Agreement, to the extent applicable).

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, nothing in this Section 6.04 shall prohibit or restrict the Company or the Board of Directors of the Company from (a) taking and/or disclosing to the stockholders of the Company a position contemplated by Rule 14d-9 or Rule 14e-2 promulgated under the Exchange Act or (b) making any disclosure to the stockholders of the Company if, in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors of the Company, such disclosure would be necessary under Applicable Law (including Rule 14d-9 and Rule 14e-2 promulgated under the Exchange Act); provided, however, that in no event shall this Section 6.04(e) affect the obligations of the Company otherwise specified in Section 6.04.

Section 6.05. Access to Information. (a) Subject to Section 6.05(b), from the date of this Agreement to the Effective Time or the earlier termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.01, the Company shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries and each of its and their Representatives to: (i) provide to Parent, Merger Subsidiary and each of their respective Representatives reasonable access at reasonable times and upon reasonable prior notice to the Company and its Subsidiaries, to the officers, employees, agents, Contracts, properties, assets, offices and other facilities of the Company and its Subsidiaries and to the books and records thereof and (ii) furnish, or cause to be furnished, (A) such reasonably available information concerning the business, properties, Contracts, assets, liabilities, personnel and other aspects of or information concerning the Company and its Subsidiaries as Parent, Merger Subsidiary or any of their respective Representatives may reasonably request and (B) to Parent, with respect to each fiscal month ending after the date of this Agreement, unaudited monthly consolidated balance sheets of the Company and its Subsidiaries for each fiscal month then ended and related consolidated statements of earnings and cash flows (which the Company shall furnish to Parent at substantially the same time such information is furnished on a monthly basis to the Board of Directors of the Company or any committee thereof in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice); provided, however, that the foregoing shall not require the Company to disclose any information to the extent such disclosure would contravene Applicable Law. No investigation made or information provided, made available or delivered to Parent, Merger Subsidiary or any of their respective Representatives pursuant to this Section 6.05 shall affect any of the representations, warranties, covenants, rights or remedies, or the conditions to the obligations of, the Parties hereunder.

(b) Any information provided, made available or delivered by the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective Representatives to Parent, Merger Subsidiary or any of their respective Representatives pursuant to Section 6.05(a) shall be held in confidence in accordance with the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement. The Confidentiality Agreement shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with its terms until the earlier of (a) the Effective Time or (b) the expiration of the Confidentiality Agreement according to its terms, and shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

Section 6.06. Commercially Reasonable Efforts; Further Action and Assurances. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each Party will use its commercially reasonable efforts to effectuate the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby and to fulfill and cause to be fulfilled the conditions to closing under this Agreement, including (i) the obtaining of all necessary actions or nonactions, waivers, consents and approvals from any Governmental Authority and the making of all necessary registrations and filings and the taking of all steps as may be necessary to obtain an approval or waiver from, or to avoid an action or proceeding by, any Governmental Authority, (ii) the obtaining of all necessary consents, approvals or waivers from third parties; provided however, that no payment of fees or expenses to any third party or amendments to any existing third party agreement in connection with such consents, approvals or waivers shall be paid, exchanged, executed or agreed without the prior consent of Parent, and (iii) the defending of any lawsuits or other legal proceedings, whether judicial or administrative, challenging this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including seeking to have any stay or temporary restraining order entered by any court or other Governmental Authority vacated or reversed. Each party hereto, at the reasonable request of another party hereto, will execute and deliver such other instruments and do and perform such other acts and things as may be necessary or desirable for effecting completely the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, neither Parent nor the Company shall be required to hold separate (including by trust or otherwise) or divest any of their respective businesses or assets, or enter into any consent decree or other agreement that would restrict either Parent or the Company in the conduct of its business as heretofore conducted.

(b) The Company shall provide notice of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to all holders of Company Warrants pursuant to the terms thereof.

(c) The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the waiver, in form provided by Parent to Company prior to the date hereof or otherwise in form reasonably satisfactory to Parent, of each former Company director and officer regarding any obligation of the Company, its successor and assigns to maintain any standby letter of credit or other third party guarantee in connection with indemnification obligations set forth in any applicable indemnification agreement or arrangement between the Company and such director and/or officer.

(d) At and after the Effective Time, the officers and directors of the Surviving Corporation shall be authorized to execute and deliver, in the name and on behalf of the Company or Merger Subsidiary any deeds, bills of sale, assignments or assurances and to take and do, in the name and on behalf of the Company or Merger Subsidiary, any other actions and things to vest, perfect or confirm of record or otherwise in the Surviving Corporation any and all right, title and interest in, to and under any of the rights, properties or assets of the Company acquired or to be acquired by the Surviving Corporation as a result of, or in connection with, the Merger.

Section 6.07. Notices of Certain Events. From and after the date of this Agreement until the earlier of the Effective Time or the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.01, the Company shall give prompt written notice to Parent, and Parent shall give prompt written notice to the Company, of (a) any material notice or other material communication received by such Party from any Governmental Authority in connection with this Agreement, the Merger or the other transactions contemplated hereby or from any Person alleging that the consent of such Person is or may be required in connection with this Agreement, the Merger or the other transactions contemplated hereby, (b) any material claims, actions, suits, proceedings or investigations commenced or, to such Party’s knowledge, threatened against, relating to or involving or otherwise affecting such Party or any of its Subsidiaries which relate to this Agreement, the Merger or the other transactions contemplated hereby and (c) any fact, event or circumstance known to such Party that would cause or constitute, or would reasonably be expected to cause or constitute, a breach in any material respect of any such Party’s representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained herein or would prevent, materially delay or impede, or would reasonably be expected to prevent, materially delay or impede, the consummation of the Merger or any other transaction contemplated by this Agreement; provided, however, that the delivery of any notice pursuant to this Section 6.07 shall not limit or otherwise affect any remedies available to the Party receiving such notice or prevent or cure any misrepresentations, breach of warranty or breach of covenant or failure to satisfy the conditions to the obligations of the Parties under this Agreement; provided, further, however, that a failure to comply with this Section 6.07 prior to the Closing Date in and of itself will not constitute the failure of any condition set forth in Article 7 to be satisfied unless (i) such failure materially prejudices another Party’s ability to exercise its rights or remedies hereunder prior to the Effective Time or (ii) the underlying event would independently result in the failure of a condition set forth in Article 7 to be satisfied.

Section 6.08. Public Announcements. The initial press release with respect to this Agreement, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby shall be a joint release mutually agreed upon by the Company and Parent. Thereafter, none of the Parties shall (and each of the Parties shall cause its Subsidiaries and Representatives not to) issue any press release or make any public announcement concerning this Agreement, the Merger or the other transactions contemplated hereby without obtaining the prior written consent of (a) the Company, in the event the disclosing party is Parent or any of its Subsidiaries or their respective Representatives or (b) Parent, in the event the disclosing party is the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or their respective Representatives, in each case, with such consent not to be unreasonably conditioned, delayed or withheld; provided, however, that if a Party determines, based upon advice of counsel, that a press release or public announcement is required by, or reasonably necessary in order to comply with, Applicable Law or the rules or regulations of NASDAQ or any other securities exchange on which the Company Stock or the Parent Stock is listed, such Party may make such press release or public announcement, in which case the disclosing Party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to provide the other Parties reasonable time to comment on such release or announcement in advance of such issuance.

Section 6.09. Obligations with Respect to Continuing Employees and Benefit Matters. (a) For a period of twelve (12) months following the Effective Time, subject to compliance with Applicable Law and Parent’s applicable benefit plans, the employees of the Company who remain in the employment of the Surviving Corporation (the “Continuing Employees”) shall receive employee benefits that, in the aggregate, are substantially similar to those received by similarly situated employees of Parent; provided that neither Parent nor the Surviving Corporation shall have any obligation to issue, or adopt any plans or arrangements providing for the issuance of, shares of capital stock, warrants, options, stock appreciation rights or other rights in respect of any shares of capital stock of any entity or any securities convertible or exchangeable into such shares pursuant to any such plans or arrangements.

(b) Subject to compliance with Applicable Law and Parent’s applicable benefit plans, Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to recognize the service of each Continuing Employee as if such service had been performed with Parent with respect to any plans or programs in which Continuing Employees are eligible to participate after the Effective Time (i) for purposes of eligibility for vacation, (ii) for purposes of eligibility and participation under any health or welfare plan (other than any post-employment health or post-employment welfare plan), (iii) for purposes of eligibility for any matching contributions under a cash or deferred arrangement intended to qualify under Section 401(k) of the Code and (iv) for the purpose of determining the amount of any severance payable under any severance plan of general application, except, in each case, to the extent such treatment would result in duplicative benefits. Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to recognize any vacation time of Continuing Employees that has accrued and has not been used as of the Effective Time; provided, however, that, except as required by Applicable Law, beginning on the six (6) month anniversary of the Effective Time, Continuing Employees will be subject to the maximum vacation accruals applicable to Parent employees generally, such that any amounts of accrued vacation time in excess of applicable maximums will be forfeited on and after such date.

(c) With respect to any group health plan maintained by Parent in which Continuing Employees are eligible to participate after the Effective Time, and subject to compliance with Applicable Law and any such group health plan, Parent shall, and shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, take commercially reasonable steps to waive limitations as to preexisting conditions and exclusions with respect to participation and coverage requirements applicable to such Continuing Employees to the extent such conditions and exclusions were satisfied or did not apply to such Continuing Employees under the applicable group health plans maintained by the Company prior to the Effective Time.

(d) The provisions of this Section 6.09 are for the sole benefit of the Parties and nothing in this Section 6.09, expressed or implied, is intended or shall be construed to (i) constitute an amendment to any of the compensation and benefits plans, programs or arrangements maintained for or provided to Continuing Employees or any other employees of Parent prior to or following the Effective Time, or of either Surviving Corporation following the Effective Time, or impose an obligation on any of the Company, Parent or, on or after the Effective Time, either Surviving Corporation, to establish, continue, amend, terminate or otherwise take any action with respect to any compensation or benefits plan, program or arrangement or (ii) confer upon or give to any Person (including any current or former employees, directors, or independent contractors of any of the Company, Parent, or, on or after the Effective Time, either Surviving Corporation), other than the Parties hereto, any legal or equitable or other rights or remedies (with respect to the matters provided for in this Section 6.09). For the avoidance of doubt, no provision of this Agreement shall create any third party beneficiary rights in any employee, any beneficiary or dependents thereof, or any collective bargaining representative thereof, with respect to the compensation, terms and conditions or existence of employment and benefits that may be provided to any employee by Company or Parent or under any benefit plan which Company or Parent may maintain.

(e) Unless otherwise directed by Parent at least five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall take any and all actions required to terminate the Company’s 401(k) plan as of a date no later than one (1) day prior to the Closing Date. Such actions shall include providing to Parent executed resolutions of the Company’s Board of Directors terminating the Company’s 401(k) plan. If the Company is required to terminate its 401(k) plan pursuant to this Section 6.09(e), Parent shall (or cause the Surviving Corporation to) take such actions as are necessary to cause a retirement plan maintained by it or one of its ERISA Affiliates that is qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code to accept direct and indirect rollover distributions of the Continuing Employees’ balances under the Company’s 401(k) plan, including promissory notes evidencing outstanding plan loans (if any).

Section 6.10. Indemnification and Insurance. (a) Subject to Section 6.10 of the Company Disclosure Schedule, Parent shall, and as applicable shall cause the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries to, honor and fulfill in all material respects the obligations of the Company and its Subsidiaries under each indemnification Contract listed in Section 6.10 of the Company Disclosure Schedule between the Company and/or its applicable Subsidiaries and any of their applicable current or former directors and officers (each an “Indemnified Person”). In addition, for a period of six (6) years following the Effective Time, Parent shall (and shall cause the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries to) cause the certificate of incorporation and bylaws (and other similar organizational documents) of the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries to contain provisions with respect to indemnification, exculpation and advancement of expenses that are at least as favorable as the indemnification, exculpation and advancement of expenses provisions contained in the certificate of incorporation and bylaws (or other similar organizational documents) of the Company and its Subsidiaries as of the date hereof, and during such six (6) year period, such provisions shall not, unless required by Applicable Law, be amended, repealed or otherwise modified in any manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of individuals who were covered by such provisions.

(b) For a period of six (6) years following the Effective Time, Parent shall, and shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, provide officers’ and directors’ liability insurance in respect of acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Effective Time covering each such Indemnified Person currently covered by the Company’s directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy on terms with respect to coverage and amount no less favorable than those in the current directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy maintained by the Company and in effect on the date hereof; provided, that, in satisfying its obligation under this Section 6.10(b), neither Parent nor the Surviving Corporation shall be obligated to pay an annual aggregate premium in excess of one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the amount per annum the Company paid in its last full fiscal year with respect to its current directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy, which amount Company has disclosed to Parent prior to the date hereof. Alternatively, in full satisfaction of its obligations under this Section 6.10(b), Parent may purchase a six (6) year prepaid (or “tail”) policy on terms with respect to coverage and amount no less favorable than those in the current directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy maintained by the Company and in effect on the date hereof; provided, however, that the cost of any such policy need not exceed two hundred percent (200%) of the annual premium currently paid by the Company for such insurance.

(c) The rights of each Indemnified Person under this Section 6.10 shall be in addition to any rights such Person may have under the Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or under Delaware Law or any other Applicable Law or under any agreement of any Indemnified Person with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. These rights shall survive consummation of the Merger and are intended to benefit, and shall be enforceable by, each Indemnified Person. If Parent or the Surviving Corporation or any of its successors or assigns shall (i) consolidate with or merge into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfer all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, proper provisions shall be made so that the successors and assigns of such surviving corporation shall expressly assume all of the obligations of Parent and the Surviving Corporation set forth in this Section 6.10.

Section 6.11. Tax Treatment as Reorganization. (a) Each of Parent, Merger Subsidiary and the Company intends, and shall use its best efforts to cause, the Merger to qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code and the Parties hereto adopt this Agreement as a “plan of reorganization” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.368-2(g).

(b) Unless otherwise required pursuant to a “determination” within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code, each of Parent, Merger Subsidiary and the Company shall report the Merger as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code.

(c) The Parties shall cooperate and use their commercially reasonable efforts in order for the Company to obtain the opinion of Pillsbury Xxxxxxxx Xxxx Xxxxxxx LLP, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Company and Parent, dated as of the Closing Date to the effect that, on the basis of the facts, representations and assumptions set forth or referred to in such opinion, for federal income tax purposes, the Merger will constitute a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code. As a condition precedent to the rendering of such opinion, Parent (and Merger Subsidiary) and the Company shall, as of the Closing Date, execute and deliver to Pillsbury Xxxxxxxx Xxxx Xxxxxxx LLP tax representation letters, dated and executed as of the dates of such opinions (the “Tax Representation Letters”), in substantially the forms attached to this Agreement as Exhibit C and Exhibit D, respectively. Notwithstanding anything in Section 7.02 or Section 7.03 to the contrary, the obligation to deliver the opinion referred to in this Section 6.11 shall not be waivable after receipt of any Company stockholder approval required by Applicable Law, unless further stockholder approval is obtained with appropriate disclosure.

Section 6.12. Takeover Statutes. If any state takeover statute or similar law becomes applicable to this Agreement (including the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby), each of Parent, Merger Subsidiary, the Company and their respective Boards of Directors shall take all commercially reasonable action necessary so that such transactions may be consummated as promptly as practicable on the terms contemplated hereby or otherwise act to eliminate or minimize the effect of such statute or regulation on this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

Section 6.13. Section 16 Matters. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall, and shall be permitted to, take all such steps as may reasonably be necessary to cause the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including any dispositions of Company Stock (including any derivative securities with respect to such shares) by each Person who is or will be subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act with respect to the Company, to be exempt under Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act.

Section 6.14. Resignation of Directors and Officers. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall deliver to Parent evidence satisfactory to Parent of the resignations of each of (i) the directors of the Company from the Board of Directors of the Company and all committees thereof and (ii) the officers of the Company, such resignations to be effective as of the Effective Time.

Section 6.15. Stock Exchange Listing. Parent shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the shares of Parent Stock to be issued in connection with the Merger to be approved for listing upon the Effective Time on NASDAQ, subject to official notice of issuance.

Section 6.16. Stockholder Litigation. The Company shall give Parent and its counsel the opportunity to participate in the defense or settlement of any stockholders litigation against the Company and/or its directors relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and no settlement of any such litigation shall be agreed to without Parent’s prior written consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

Section 7.04. Frustration of Closing Conditions. No Party may rely on the failure of any condition set forth in this Article 7 to be satisfied if such failure was caused by the failure of such Party to comply with its obligations set forth in this Agreement.

(ii) (A) an Adverse Recommendation Change shall have occurred, (B) the Company has failed to include the Company Board Recommendation in the Company Proxy Statement, (C) the Board of Directors of the Company approves, recommends or adopts, or publicly proposes to approve, recommend or adopt, an Acquisition Proposal or approves or recommends that Company Stockholders tender their shares of Company Stock in any tender offer or exchange offer that constitutes an Acquisition Proposal or (D) the Company shall have materially breached any of its obligations under Section 6.03(c), Section 6.03(d) or Section 6.04; or

(ii) prior to obtaining the Company Stockholder Approval, (A) the Board of Directors of the Company has received a Superior Proposal, (B) the Board of Directors of the Company has determined in good faith (after consultation with outside legal counsel) that the acceptance of such Superior Proposal is necessary to comply with its fiduciary duties under Applicable Law, (C) the Company has complied in all material respects with Section 6.04 and (D) the Company has paid the Company Termination Fee to Parent in accordance with Section 8.03.

The Party desiring to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.01 (other than pursuant to Section 8.01(a)) shall give notice of such termination to the other Parties in accordance with Section 9.01.

Section 8.02. Effect of Termination. Except as otherwise set forth in this Section 8.02, in the event of a termination of this Agreement by either the Company or Parent as provided in Section 8.01, this Agreement shall forthwith become void and of no effect and there shall be no liability or obligation on the part of Parent, Merger Subsidiary or the Company (or their respective Affiliates or Representatives) hereunder; provided, however, that the provisions of this Section 8.02, Sections 6.05(b) and 8.03, Article 9 and the Confidentiality Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and survive any termination of this Agreement; and provided, further, that no Party shall be relieved or released from any liabilities or damages arising out of its willful and material breach of any provision of this Agreement, including any willful failure to fulfill a condition to the performance of the obligations of the other Parties. In no event shall any Party be liable for punitive damages.

Section 8.03. Termination Fee. (a) If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 8.01(d)(ii), then the Company shall pay to Parent (or as directed by Parent), by wire transfer of same day funds, the amount resulting from the sum of (i) $538,193 plus (ii) subject to a cap of $403,645, all costs, fees and expenses reasonably incurred by Parent, as certified in writing by an officer of Parent, in connection herewith and the transactions contemplated hereby (such amounts, the “Company Termination Fee”); provided, however, that such termination shall not be effective until the Company pays the Company Termination Fee. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 8.01(c)(ii), the Company shall pay to Parent (or as directed by Parent), by wire transfer of same day funds, the Company Termination Fee as promptly as reasonably practicable (and in any event within two (2) Business Days following such termination).

For purposes of this Section 8.03(a), each reference in the definition of Acquisition Proposal to “twenty percent (20%)” will be deemed to be a reference to “fifty percent (50%).”

(b) The Company acknowledges that the agreements contained in this Section 8.03 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and that, without these agreements, Parent and Merger Subsidiary would not enter into this Agreement. If the Company fails to pay the Company Termination Fee when due, and, in order to obtain such payment Parent commences a legal action which results in a judgment against the Company for all or any portion of the Company Termination Fee, the Company shall pay to Parent its reasonable out-of-pocket costs, fees and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) in connection with such action.

Section 9.02. Survival of Representations and Warranties. None of the representations and warranties of the Parties in this Agreement or in any instrument delivered pursuant to this Agreement (or the Schedules of Exhibits attached hereto) shall survive the Effective Time. None of the covenants or agreements of the Parties in this Agreement shall survive the Effective Time, other than (a) the covenants and agreements of the Parties contained in this Article 9, in Article 2 and in Sections 6.06(d), 6.09 and 6.10 and (b) those other covenants and agreements contained herein that by their terms apply, or that are to be performed in whole or in part, after the Effective Time, in each case which shall survive the consummation of the Merger until fully performed.

Section 9.03. Amendments and Waivers. (a) Any provision of this Agreement may be amended prior to the Effective Time if, but only if, such amendment or waiver is in writing and is signed, in the case of an amendment, by each Party; provided, however, that, after approval of the Agreement by the stockholders of the Company, no amendment that, by Applicable Law or in accordance with the rules of any relevant stock exchange, requires further approval by such stockholders may be made without such stockholder approval.

(b) At any time prior to the Effective Time, Parent and Merger Subsidiary, on the one hand, or the Company, on the other hand, may, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, (a) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the other Parties under this Agreement, (b) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties of the other Parties contained herein or in any instrument delivered pursuant hereto or (c) waive compliance with any of the covenants or agreements of the other Parties or conditions to the obligations of the waiving Parties contained herein; provided, however, that after any approval of this Agreement by the stockholders of the Company, no extension or waiver that, by Applicable Law or in accordance with the rules of any relevant stock exchange, requires further approval by such stockholders may be made without such stockholder approval. Any agreement on the part of a Party to any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in a written instrument signed by such Party. The failure or delay of any Party to assert any of its rights under this Agreement or otherwise shall not constitute a waiver of those rights, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right under this Agreement preclude any other or further exercise of any rights hereunder.

Section 9.04. Expenses. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement, including Section 8.03, all costs, fees and expenses incurred in connection herewith and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be paid by the Party incurring, or required to incur, such expenses, whether or not the Merger are consummated.

Section 9.05. Disclosure Schedule References. The Parties hereto agree that the disclosure of any fact or item in a particular Section of the Company Disclosure Schedule or the Parent Disclosure Schedule shall only be deemed to be disclosure with respect to (i) the representations and warranties of the Company or Parent and Merger Subsidiary, respectively, that are contained in the corresponding Section of this Agreement and (ii) any other representation or warranty of the Company or Parent and Merger Subsidiary, respectively, that is contained in this Agreement, but only if the relevance of such disclosure to such representation or warranty is readily apparent on its face.

Section 9.06. Mutual Drafting; Headings. Each Party has participated in the drafting of this Agreement, which each Party acknowledges is the result of extensive negotiations between the Parties. The captions, headings and table of contents contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

Section 9.07. Assignment; Binding Effect; Parties in Interests. (a) Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder shall be assigned by any of the Parties (whether by operation of law or otherwise) without the prior written consent of the other Parties, and any such assignment shall be null and void; provided, however, that Parent and Merger Subsidiary may assign all or any of their rights (but not their obligations) hereunder to one or more of their wholly-owned Affiliates without obtaining any such consent, and Parent and the Surviving Corporation may assign all or any of their rights or obligations hereunder after the Effective Time to any Person. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

(b) Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, shall confer upon any Person other than the Parties hereto any rights, benefits or remedies of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement; provided that the provisions of Section 6.10 shall inure to the benefit of the Indemnified Person benefiting therefrom who are intended third-party beneficiaries thereof.

Section 9.08. Governing Law. This Agreement, and all claims and causes of action arising out of, based upon, or related to this Agreement or the negotiation, execution or performance hereof, shall be governed by, and construed, interpreted and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to choice or conflict of law principles that would result in the application of any laws other than the laws of the State of Delaware.

Section 9.09. Jurisdiction. Any legal action, suit or proceeding arising out of, based upon or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby shall be brought solely in the Chancery Court of the State of Delaware and any state appellate court therefrom within the State of Delaware (or, if the Chancery Court of the State of Delaware declines to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, any state or federal court within the State of Delaware and any direct appellate court therefrom). Each Party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts in respect of any legal action, suit or proceeding arising out of, based upon or relating to this Agreement and the rights and obligations arising hereunder and agrees that it will not bring any action arising out of, based upon or related to this Agreement in any other court. Each Party hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert as a defense, counterclaim or otherwise, in any legal action, suit or proceeding arising out of, based upon or relating to this Agreement, (a) any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of the above named courts for any reason other than the failure to serve process in accordance with Section 9.01, (b) any claim that it or its property is exempt or immune from jurisdiction of any such court or from any legal process commenced in such courts (whether through service of notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution of judgment, execution of judgment or otherwise) and (c) to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, any claim that (i) the suit, action or proceeding in such court is brought in an inconvenient forum, (ii) the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper or (iii) this Agreement, or the subject mater hereof, may not be enforced in or by such courts. Each Party agrees that notice or the service of process in any action, suit or proceeding arising out of, based upon or relating to this Agreement or the rights and obligations arising hereunder shall be properly served or delivered if delivered in the manner contemplated by Section 9.01.

Section 9.10. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY WAIVES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW ANY AND ALL RIGHT SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING BETWEEN THE PARTIES HERETO ARISING OUT OF, BASED UPON OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE NEGOTIATION, EXECUTION OR PERFORMANCE HEREOF.

Section 9.11. Specific Performance. The Parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any provision of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with its specific terms or was otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the Parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and that the Parties may enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement, with all such matters to take place exclusively in the Chancery Court of the State of Delaware and any state appellate court therefrom within the State of Delaware (or, if the Chancery Court of the State of Delaware declines to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, any state or federal court within the State of Delaware), and any such injunction shall be in addition to any other remedy to which any Party is entitled, at law or in equity.

Section 9.12. Entire Agreement. This Agreement (together with the Exhibits, the Schedules, the Company Disclosure Schedule, the Parent Disclosure Schedule and the other instruments delivered pursuant hereto) and the Confidentiality Agreement constitute the entire agreement of the Parties and supersede all prior agreements and undertakings, both written and oral, among the Parties, or any of them, with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof.

Section 9.13. Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced in any jurisdiction such term or other provision shall, as to that jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability, and all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect. Upon a determination that any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner to the end that the transactions contemplated hereby are fulfilled to the greatest extent possible.

Section 9.14. Counterparts; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed by facsimile and in one or more counterparts, and by the different Parties in separate counterparts, each of which when executed shall be deemed to be an original but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement, and which shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the Parties and delivered (by facsimile, electronic mail or otherwise) to the other Parties. Until and unless each Party has received a counterpart hereof signed by the other Parties hereto, this Agreement shall have no effect and no Party shall have any right or obligation hereunder (whether by virtue of any other oral or written agreement or other communication).
