AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER

This AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER (this "Agreement"), dated as of October 22, 2012, is by and among Toyota Industries Corporation, a corporation formed under the laws of Japan ("Parent"), Industrial Components and Attachments II, Inc., a corporation formed under the laws of the State of Delaware and an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Parent ("Merger Sub"), and Cascade Corporation, a corporation formed under the laws of the State of Oregon (the "Company").

RECITALS

WHEREAS, Parent desires to acquire the Company on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement;

WHEREAS, Parent shall cause Merger Sub to commence a cash tender offer (as it may be amended from time to time, the "Offer") in accordance with the terms hereof to purchase all of the outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.50 per share, of the Company (the "Company Common Stock") for $65.00 per share (such amount, or any higher amount per share paid pursuant to the Offer, being the "Offer Price"), net to the seller in cash, without interest;

WHEREAS, following completion of the Offer, Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company (the "Merger"), with the Company surviving the Merger, and each share of Company Common Stock that is not tendered and accepted pursuant to the Offer (other than such shares owned by Merger Sub, Parent or any Subsidiary of Parent or the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time, and other than Dissenting Shares, if any) will be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration (as defined below), in each case upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement;

WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Company has unanimously determined that this Agreement, including the Offer, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby (collectively, the "Transactions"), is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders and has adopted this Agreement and determined to recommend that its shareholders accept the Offer and tender their shares pursuant to the Offer and, if required by applicable Law, vote in favor of the Merger; and

WHEREAS, concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, as a condition and inducement to the willingness of Parent and Merger Sub to enter into this Agreement, certain holders of shares of Company Common Stock are executing a Tender and Voting Agreement in favor of Parent, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the "Tender Agreement").

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual warranties, covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:

Article I
The Offer

Section 1.1 The Offer.

(a) Provided, that this Agreement shall not have been terminated in accordance with Article VIII, as promptly as reasonably practicable after the date of this Agreement but in no event later than the tenth (10th) Business Day after the date hereof (or such later date as the parties may agree in writing), Merger Sub shall, and Parent shall cause Merger Sub to (and the Company shall cooperate with Parent and Merger Sub to) commence (within the meaning of Rule 14d-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (the "Exchange Act")) the Offer.

(b) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including the prior satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Annex I (the "Offer Conditions"), Merger Sub shall (and Parent shall cause Merger Sub to) consummate the Offer in accordance with its terms and accept for payment each share of Company Common Stock validly tendered and not properly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer (the time and date of acceptance for payment, the "Acceptance Time") and promptly following the acceptance of the shares of Company Common Stock for payment pursuant to the Offer, pay (subject to any withholding of Tax pursuant to Section 2.2(g)) the Offer Price net to the seller in cash, without interest, for each share of Company Common Stock validly tendered and not properly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer. The obligation of Merger Sub to (and of Parent to cause Merger Sub to) accept for payment, and pay the Offer Price net to the seller in cash, without interest, for each share of Company Common Stock validly tendered and not properly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer shall be subject only to the satisfaction, or waiver by Parent or Merger Sub if permitted hereunder, of each of the Offer Conditions.

(c) The Offer shall be made by means of an offer to purchase (the "Offer to Purchase") that contains the terms and conditions of the Offer as set forth in this Agreement, including the Minimum Tender Condition (as defined in Annex I). Parent and Merger Sub expressly reserve the right (but shall not be obligated), at any time and from time to time in their sole discretion, to waive any of the Offer Conditions, to increase the Offer Price or to modify or amend any other terms and conditions of the Offer; provided, that without the written consent of the Company, Parent and Merger Sub shall not (A) decrease the Offer Price, (B) change the form of consideration payable in the Offer, (C) decrease the number of shares of Company Common Stock sought to be purchased in the Offer, (D) impose additional conditions on the consummation of the Offer, (E) amend or modify any of the Offer Conditions in a manner that adversely affects any holder of shares of Company Common Stock, (F) change or waive the Minimum Tender Condition (or HSR Approval component of the Governmental Approval Condition), (G) extend or otherwise change the Expiration Date in a manner other than as required or permitted by Section 1.1(e) of this Agreement or (H) otherwise amend or modify the Offer in a manner that adversely affects, any holder of shares of Company Common Stock. The failure by Parent or Merger Sub at any time

- 2 -

to exercise any of the foregoing rights shall not be deemed a waiver of any such right, and each right shall be deemed an ongoing right that may be asserted at any time and from time to time.

(d) Unless extended pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Offer shall expire at midnight, New York time, on the date that is twenty (20) Business Days (determined for this purpose in accordance with Rule 14d-1(g)(3) under the Exchange Act) following the commencement of the Offer (the "Initial Expiration Date") or, in the event the Initial Expiration Date has been extended pursuant to and in accordance with this Agreement, the date and time to which the Offer has been so extended (the Initial Expiration Date, or such later date and time to which the Offer has been extended pursuant to and in accordance with this Agreement, the "Expiration Date").

(e) The Offer shall be extended from time to time as follows:

(i) If at any then scheduled Expiration Date, any of the Offer Conditions set forth in clauses (a), (b) or (c)(i) of Annex I hereto shall not have been satisfied or waived by Parent or Merger Sub if permitted hereunder, then Merger Sub shall (and Parent shall cause Merger Sub to), if so requested by the Company in a written notice delivered to Parent on or prior to the scheduled Expiration Date, extend the Offer for one or more successive periods of up to ten (10) Business Days each, in order to permit the satisfaction of such Offer Conditions (subject to the right of Parent and Merger Sub to waive any Offer Condition (other than the Minimum Tender Condition or the requirement for HSR Approval that is a component of the Governmental Approval Condition) in accordance with this Agreement); provided, that such extension of the Offer does not extend past the earlier of (A) the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Article VIII and (B) January 31, 2013 (which date may be extended at the discretion of either the Company or Parent to not later than March 31, 2013, in the event the Governmental Approval Condition shall not have been satisfied as of such date) (the "Outside Date");

(ii) Merger Sub may, at its sole discretion, extend the Offer for one or more successive periods of up to ten (10) Business Days each, the length of each such period to be determined by Parent at its sole discretion, to permit any Offer Conditions to be satisfied; provided, that such extension of the Offer shall not extend past the earlier of (A) the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Article VIII and (B) the Outside Date; and

(iii) Merger Sub shall (and Parent shall cause Merger Sub to) extend the Offer for any period or periods required by applicable Law, by interpretation or position of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") or its staff or by the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") that is applicable to the Offer.

- 3 -

Merger Sub shall not terminate the Offer prior to any scheduled Expiration Date (including any rescheduled Expiration Date) without the prior written consent of the Company except in the event that this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Article VIII. Nothing in this Section 1.1 shall affect any of the termination rights set forth in Article VIII.

(f) If fewer than ninety percent (90%) of the number of outstanding shares of Company Common Stock are accepted for payment pursuant to the Offer, Parent and Merger Sub may, and at the request of the Company shall, and upon any such request by the Company Parent shall cause the Merger Sub to, provide for one "subsequent offering period" (and one or more extensions thereof) in accordance with Rule 14d-11 under the Exchange Act. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Offer, Merger Sub shall (and Parent shall cause Merger Sub to) promptly after any Company Common Stock is validly tendered during a "subsequent offering period" (or any extension thereof) accept for payment, and pay (subject to any withholding of Tax pursuant to Section 2.2(g)) the Offer Price net to the seller in cash, without interest, for, each share of Company Common Stock that is validly tendered during such "subsequent offering period" or any extension thereof promptly after any such share of Company Common Stock is tendered during any such period. The Offer Documents will provide for the possibility of a "subsequent offering period" in a manner consistent with the terms of this Section 1.1(f).

(g) In the event that this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Article VIII prior to the Acceptance Time, Merger Sub shall (and Parent shall cause Merger Sub to) (i) within one (1) Business Day of such termination, terminate the Offer, (ii) not acquire any shares of Company Common Stock pursuant to the Offer and (iii) cause any depository acting on behalf of Merger Sub to return, in accordance with applicable Law, all tendered shares of Company Common Stock to the registered holders thereof.

(h) On the date of the commencement of the Offer, Parent and Merger Sub shall prepare and file with the SEC a Tender Offer Statement in accordance with Rule 14d-3 and Regulation M-A under the Exchange Act on Schedule TO with respect to the Offer (together with all amendments and supplements thereto and including exhibits thereto, the "Schedule TO") that will contain or incorporate by reference the Offer to Purchase, the summary advertisement and form of the related letter of transmittal (such Schedule TO and the documents included therein pursuant to which the Offer will be made, together with any amendments and supplements thereto and including exhibits thereto, the "Offer Documents"). Parent and Merger Sub shall as promptly as practicable cause the Offer Documents to be disseminated to holders of the shares of Company Common Stock in accordance with and to the extent required by Rule 14d-4 under the Exchange Act. Parent and Merger Sub agree that they shall cause the Offer Documents filed with the SEC by either Parent or Merger Sub to comply in all material respects with the Exchange Act and other applicable Laws. The Company shall promptly furnish or otherwise make available to Parent, Merger Sub and Parent's counsel all information concerning the Company, the Company's Subsidiaries and the

- 4 -

Company's shareholders that may be required in connection with any action contemplated by this Section 1.1(h), including such information required by applicable Laws to be set forth in the Offer Documents. No filing of, or amendment or supplement to, the Offer Documents will be made by Parent or Merger Sub, without providing the Company and its counsel a reasonable opportunity to review and comment thereon and giving due consideration to such comments. If at any time prior to the Acceptance Time or during any "subsequent offering period" (or extension thereof) any information relating to the Company, Parent, Merger Sub, or any of their respective Affiliates, directors or officers should be discovered by any of the parties hereto, which should be set forth in an amendment or a supplement to the Offer Documents so that such documents would not include any misstatement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, the party that discovers such information shall promptly notify the other parties hereto, and Parent and Merger Sub shall promptly file with the SEC an appropriate amendment or supplement describing such information and, to the extent required by Law, shall disseminate such amendment or supplement to the shareholders of the Company. Parent and Merger Sub shall notify the Company promptly of the receipt of any comments, whether written or oral, from the SEC or the staff of the SEC and of any request by the SEC or the staff of the SEC for amendments or supplements to the Offer Documents or for additional information, and shall promptly supply the Company with copies of all correspondence (including a description of any oral communications) between Parent, Merger Sub or any of their respective Representatives, on the one hand, and the SEC or the staff of the SEC, on the other hand, with respect to the Offer Documents. Each of Parent and Merger Sub shall respond promptly to any comments of the SEC or its staff with respect to the Offer Documents.

(i) Parent shall provide or cause to be provided to Merger Sub on a timely basis the funds necessary to pay for any shares of Company Common Stock that Merger Sub becomes obligated to accept for payment, and pay for, pursuant to the Offer.

Section 1.2 Company Actions.

(a) Subject to Section 5.2(c), the Company approves and consents to the Offer and to the inclusion in the Offer Documents of the recommendation by the Company's Board of Directors that the shareholders of the Company accept the Offer and tender their shares of Company Common Stock to Merger Sub in the Offer and, to the extent required by applicable Law, approve this Agreement and the Merger (the "Company Recommendation").

(b) On the date of the commencement of the Offer, concurrently with the filing of the Offer Documents, the Company shall prepare and file with the SEC a Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9 (together with any exhibits, amendments or supplements thereto, the "Schedule 14D-9") that, subject to Section 5.2(c), shall reflect the Company Recommendation. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Schedule 14D-9 to be mailed to its shareholders as

- 5 -

promptly as practicable after the filing of the Offer Documents with the SEC, and in any event within two (2) Business Days thereafter. Parent and Merger Sub shall promptly furnish or otherwise make available to the Company and its outside legal counsel all information concerning Parent and Merger Sub required by applicable Laws to be set forth in the Schedule 14D-9 or required for compliance by the Company with its obligations under this Section 1.2(b). The Company agrees that it shall cause the Schedule 14D-9 to comply in all material respects with the Exchange Act and other applicable Laws. No filing of, or amendment or supplement to (including responses to any comments from the SEC), the Schedule 14D-9 will be made by the Company, without providing Parent and its counsel a reasonable opportunity to review and comment thereon and giving due consideration to such comments. If at any time prior to the Acceptance Time or during any "subsequent offering period" (or extension thereof) any information relating to the Company, Parent, Merger Sub, or any of their respective Affiliates, directors or officers should be discovered by any of the parties hereto which should be set forth in an amendment or a supplement to the Schedule 14D-9, so that such document would not include any misstatement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, the party that discovers such information shall promptly notify the other parties hereto, and the Company shall promptly file with the SEC an appropriate amendment or supplement describing such information and, to the extent required by Law, shall disseminate such amendment or supplement to the shareholders of the Company. The Company shall notify Parent and Merger Sub promptly of the receipt of any comments, whether written or oral, from the SEC or the staff of the SEC and of any request by the SEC or the staff of the SEC for amendments or supplements to the Schedule 14D-9 or for additional information and shall supply Parent and Merger Sub with copies of all correspondence (including a written summary of any oral communications) between the Company or any of its Representatives, on the one hand, and the SEC or the staff of the SEC, on the other hand, with respect to the Schedule 14D-9. The Company shall respond promptly to any comments of the SEC or its staff with respect to the Schedule 14D-9.

(c) The Company shall, or shall cause its transfer agent to, promptly furnish Parent with a list of its shareholders, mailing labels and any available listing or computer file containing the names and addresses of all record holders of shares of Company Common Stock and lists of securities positions of shares of Company Common Stock held in stock depositories, in each case accurate and complete as of the most recent practicable date, and shall provide to Parent such additional information (including updated lists of record holders, mailing labels and lists of securities positions) and such other assistance in connection with the identification of holders of Company Common Stock as Parent may reasonably request in connection with the Offer. Subject to the requirements of applicable Laws, and except for such steps as are necessary to disseminate the Offer Documents and any other documents necessary to consummate the Transactions, Parent and Merger Sub shall hold such information in confidence, shall use such information only in connection with the Transactions and, if this Agreement shall be terminated, shall, upon request, deliver, and shall use their reasonable best efforts to cause their respective Representatives to deliver, to the

- 6 -

Company (or destroy) all copies and any extracts or summaries from such information then in their possession or control. In addition, in connection with the Offer, the Company shall, and shall cause its Representatives to, cooperate with Parent and Merger Sub to disseminate the Offer Documents to holders of shares of Company Common Stock held in or subject to any Company Benefit Plan and to permit such holders of shares of the Company Common Stock to tender such shares in the Offer.

Section 1.3 Directors.

(a) Promptly following the Acceptance Time and at all times thereafter, subject to compliance with the Company Articles, the Company Bylaws, applicable Laws and the regulations of the NYSE, Merger Sub shall be entitled to designate, elect or cause the Board of Directors of the Company to elect such number of directors to the Board of Directors of the Company as is equal to the product, rounded up to the next whole number, of (i) the total number of directors on the Board of Directors of the Company (after giving effect to any directors elected or designated pursuant to this Section 1.3(a)) multiplied by (ii) the percentage that (x) the aggregate number of shares of Company Common Stock beneficially owned by Parent, Merger Sub and any of their Affiliates (including shares of Company Common Stock accepted for payment pursuant to the Offer) bears to (y) the total number of shares of Company Common Stock then outstanding. The Company shall, upon Merger Sub's request at any time following the Acceptance Time, cause the Board of Directors of the Company to promptly (A) adopt resolutions (1) increasing the size of the Board of Directors of the Company by such number of directors as shall be necessary to give effect to the first sentence of this Section 1.3(a) (after giving effect to any concurrent resignations of incumbent directors of the Company) and (2) as necessary to give effect to the third sentence of this Section 1.3(a), (B) elect Merger Sub's designees to fill such newly created directorships on the Board of Directors of the Company and (C) take all such other actions necessary to elect or designate to the Board of Directors of the Company the individuals designated by Merger Sub and permitted to be so designated by the first sentence of this Section 1.3(a), including, if necessary, by securing the resignations of such number of its incumbent directors as is necessary or desirable to enable Merger Sub's designees to be so elected or designated to the Board of Directors of the Company. The Company shall, upon Merger Sub's request following the Acceptance Time, also cause persons designated by Merger Sub to constitute the same percentage (after giving effect to any directors elected or designated by Merger Sub pursuant to this Section 1.3(a)) and rounded up to the next whole number) as is on the Board of Directors of the Company of (x) each committee of the Board of Directors of the Company, and, upon Merger Sub's further request, (y) the board of directors (or similar body) of each Subsidiary of the Company and (z) each committee (or similar body) of each such board, in each case, to the extent permitted by applicable Laws and applicable rules of the NYSE. From and after the Acceptance Time, the Company shall take all action necessary to elect to be treated as a "controlled company" as defined by the NYSE Listed Company Manual Section 303A and make all necessary filings and disclosures associated with such status. The Company shall promptly upon execution of this Agreement take all actions required pursuant to Section 14(f) and Rule 14f-1 under

- 7 -

the Exchange Act in order to fulfill its obligations under this Section 1.3(a), including mailing to shareholders of the Company (together with the Schedule 14D-9) the information required by Section 14(f) and Rule 14f-1 under the Exchange Act as is necessary to enable Merger Sub's designees to be elected or designated to the Board of Directors of the Company. Merger Sub shall supply the Company with information with respect to Merger Sub's designees and Parent's and Merger Sub's respective officers, directors and Affiliates to the extent required by Section 14(f) and Rule 14f-1 under the Exchange Act. The provisions of this Section 1.3(a) are in addition to and shall not limit any rights that any of Merger Sub, Parent or any of their respective Affiliates may have as record holders or beneficial owners of shares of the Company Common Stock under applicable Laws with respect to the election of directors or otherwise.

(b) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary but subject to Section 8.4, following the time directors designated by Merger Sub are elected or appointed to the Board of Directors of the Company in accordance with this Section 1.3 and prior to the Effective Time, the affirmative vote of a majority of the directors then in office not so elected or appointed by Merger Sub and who are not officers, directors or employees of Parent, Merger Sub or any of their respective Affiliates (the "Continuing Directors") shall be required to (i) amend or terminate this Agreement on behalf of the Company, (ii) exercise or waive any of the Company's rights or remedies hereunder, (iii) extend the time for performance of Parent's or Merger Sub's obligations hereunder, (iv) make any determinations or agreements made by or on behalf of the Company under this Agreement, (v) make any amendment to the Company Articles or Company Bylaws, (vi) effect any Company Change of Recommendation or (vii) take any other action in connection with this Agreement and the Transactions required to be taken by the Board of Directors of the Company adversely affecting the rights of the Company's shareholders (other than Parent or Merger Sub). For purposes of considering any matter set forth in this Section 1.3(b) the Continuing Directors will be permitted to meet without the presence of the other directors. The Continuing Directors will have the authority to retain such counsel (which may include current counsel to the Company) and other advisors at the expense of the Company as determined by the Continuing Directors and will have the authority to institute any action on behalf of the Company to enforce performance of this Agreement or any of the Company's rights hereunder (on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement). The Company will indemnify and advance expenses to, and Parent will cause the Company to indemnify and advance expenses to, the Continuing Directors in connection with their service as directors of the Company prior to the Effective Time to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law and in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.4 and the Company Articles and Company Bylaws. From and after the Acceptance Time, and prior to the Effective Time, neither Parent nor Merger Sub shall take any action to remove a Continuing Director.

Section 1.4 Top-Up Option.

(a) The Company hereby grants to Parent and Merger Sub an irrevocable option (the "Top-Up Option"), subject to the terms and conditions hereof, to purchase from the Company that number of shares of Company Common Stock (the "Top-Up Shares") equal to the lowest number of shares of Company Common Stock that, when added to the number of shares of Company Common Stock owned by Parent and its Subsidiaries (including Merger Sub) at the time of exercise of the Top-Up Option, shall constitute one share of Company Common Stock more than ninety percent (90%) of the number of shares of Company Common Stock outstanding (after giving effect to the issuance of the Top-Up Shares, and excluding from the calculation of the number of shares of Company Common Stock then owned by Parent and Merger Sub, but not from the calculation of then-outstanding shares of Company Common Stock, Shares tendered pursuant to guaranteed delivery procedures that have not yet been delivered in settlement or satisfaction of such guarantee), at an exercise price per Top-Up Share equal to the Offer Price; provided, that Merger Sub may, and at the request of the Company, Merger Sub shall (and at the request of the Company, Parent shall cause Merger Sub to) exercise the Top-Up Option, only if (i) the exercise of the Top-Up Option and the issuance and delivery of the Top-Up Shares shall not be prohibited by any Law or Restraint, (ii) the Top-Up Option is exercisable for not more than the number of shares of Company Common Stock that are authorized but unissued (and not reserved for issuance) at the time of exercise of the Top-Up Option, and (iii) Merger Sub irrevocably commits upon exercise of the Top-Up Option to promptly effect a short-form merger pursuant to Section 1.5 hereof following such exercise and is permitted to do so under applicable Laws.

(b) The Top-Up Option shall only be exercisable once, in whole but not in part, promptly after the acceptance for payment by Merger Sub of shares of Company Common Stock pursuant to the Offer representing no less than 65% of the then outstanding number of shares of Company Common Stock; provided, that the Top-Up Option shall terminate upon the earlier of (i) the termination of this Agreement and (ii) the Effective Time.

(c) To exercise the Top-Up Option, Parent or Merger Sub shall so notify the Company in writing and shall set forth in such notice (i) the number of shares of Company Common Stock owned by Parent and its Subsidiaries (including Merger Sub) immediately preceding the purchase of the Top-Up Shares, (ii) the manner in which it intends to pay the applicable purchase price, (iii) the place and time for the closing of the purchase of the Top-Up Shares (the "Top-Up Closing") and (iv) an irrevocable commitment by Merger Sub to promptly effect a short-form merger pursuant to Section 1.5 hereof following the Top-Up Closing. The Company shall, as soon as practicable following receipt of such notice, notify Parent and Merger Sub in writing of the number of shares of Company Common Stock then outstanding and, based on the information specified in the notice of Parent or Merger Sub, the number of Top-Up Shares. At the Top-Up Closing, (A) Parent or Merger Sub shall pay to the Company the aggregate price required to be paid for the Top-Up Shares, at the election of Parent and Merger Sub, (x) in cash or (y) by paying in cash an amount equal to not less than the aggregate par value of such Top-Up Shares and delivery of a promissory note for the

(d) Parent and Merger Sub acknowledge that the Top-Up Shares will not be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (the "Securities Act"), and will be issued in reliance upon an exemption thereunder for transactions not involving a public offering. Each of Parent and Merger Sub hereby represents and warrants to the Company that each of Parent and Merger Sub is, and will be upon the purchase of the Top-Up Shares, an "accredited investor," as such term is defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D under the Securities Act. Parent and Merger Sub agree that the Top-Up Option and the Top-Up Shares to be acquired upon exercise of the Top-Up Option are being and will be acquired by Parent or Merger Sub for the purpose of investment and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any distribution thereof (within the meaning of the Securities Act).

(e) Any dilutive impact on the value of the shares of Company Common Stock as a result of the issuance of the Top-Up Shares and the consideration for the Top-Up Shares will not be taken into account in any determination of the fair value of any Dissenting Shares pursuant to Section 60.554 of the OBCA as contemplated by Section 2.3.

Article II
Effect of the Merger on Capital Stock

Section 2.1 Effect on Capital Stock.

(a) At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any further action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or any holder of any of the following securities:

- 11 -

(i) each share of Company Common Stock that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than Dissenting Shares, if any, and shares to be canceled in accordance with Section 2.1(a)(ii)) shall be converted into the right to receive the Offer Price net to the seller in cash, without interest (the "Merger Consideration"), subject to any withholding of Tax pursuant to Section 2.2(b) or Section 2.2(g);

(ii) each share of Company Common Stock that immediately prior to the Effective Time is owned by Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or any of their respective Subsidiaries shall be canceled without any consideration being exchanged therefor; and

(iii) each share of common stock of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and become one validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock of the Surviving Entity.

(b) All of the shares of Company Common Stock converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to this Article II shall no longer be outstanding, and shall automatically be canceled and shall cease to exist, as of the Effective Time, and each certificate (each, a "Certificate") or book-entry share (each, a "Book-Entry Share") previously representing any such shares of Company Common Stock shall thereafter represent only the right to receive the Merger Consideration into which the shares of Company Common Stock represented by such Certificate or Book-Entry Share shall have been converted pursuant to this Section 2.1.

Section 2.2 Exchange and Payment.

(a) Exchange Agent. At or prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall deposit, or shall cause to be deposited, on behalf of Merger Sub, with a bank or trust company designated by Parent with the Company's prior consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed (the "Exchange Agent"), in trust for the benefit of the holders of Company Common Stock for exchange in accordance with this Article II through the Exchange Agent, immediately available funds sufficient to pay, and Parent shall instruct the Exchange Agent to timely pay, the aggregate Merger Consideration (such aggregate Merger Consideration, being hereinafter referred to as the "Exchange Fund").

(b) Exchange Procedures. As promptly as practicable after the Effective Time, and in any event within five (5) Business Days thereafter, Parent shall cause the Exchange Agent to mail to each holder of record of shares of Company Common Stock whose shares of Company Common Stock were converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.1(a)(i): (i) a letter of transmittal in customary form (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of the Certificates to the Exchange Agent and which shall have such other provisions as Parent and the

- 12 -

Company may agree) and (ii) instructions for use in surrendering the Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu thereof) or Book-Entry Shares in exchange for cash comprising the Merger Consideration. Upon surrender of a Book-Entry Share or a Certificate for cancellation to the Exchange Agent, together with such letter of transmittal, duly completed and validly executed, and/or such other documents as may be reasonably required by the Exchange Agent, the holder of such Book-Entry Share or Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor a check for the Merger Consideration that such holder is entitled to receive pursuant to the provisions of this Article II, and the Book-Entry Share or Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be canceled. In the event of a transfer of ownership of shares of Company Common Stock that is not registered in the transfer records of the Company, a check for the proper amount of cash comprising the Merger Consideration shall be issued to a Person other than the Person in whose name the Certificate so surrendered is registered, if, upon presentation to the Exchange Agent, such Certificate shall be properly endorsed or otherwise be in proper form for transfer. In such case, the amount of any stock transfer or other similar Taxes (whether imposed on the registered holder(s), or such other Person, or otherwise) payable on account of such issuance or transfer to such other Person shall be deducted from the amount otherwise payable pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, unless evidence satisfactory to the Exchange Agent of the payment of such Taxes, or exemption therefrom, is submitted. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 2.2(b), each Book-Entry Share and Certificate shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive upon such surrender the Merger Consideration. No interest will be paid or will accrue for the benefit of holders of shares of Company Common Stock on the Merger Consideration payable to holders of Company Common Stock pursuant to this Article II.

(c) No Further Ownership Rights in Company Common Stock. All cash paid upon the surrender for exchange of Book-Entry Shares or Certificates in accordance with the terms of this Article II shall be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to the shares of Company Common Stock previously represented by such Book-Entry Shares or Certificates, and at the close of business on the day on which the Effective Time occurs, the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed and there shall be no further registration of transfers on the stock transfer books of the Surviving Entity of the shares of Company Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. Subject to the last sentence of Section 2.2(d), if, at any time after the Effective Time, Book-Entry Shares or Certificates are presented to the Surviving Entity or the Exchange Agent for any reason, they shall be canceled and exchanged as provided in this Article II.

(d) Termination of Exchange Fund. Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains undistributed to the holders of Company Common Stock on the date that is twelve months after the Effective Time shall be delivered to Parent upon demand. Any holders of Book-Entry Shares or Certificates who have not theretofore complied with this Article II shall thereafter look only to Parent with respect to the Merger Consideration. None of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company, the Surviving Entity or the Exchange Agent shall be liable to any Person in respect of any cash from the Exchange

- 13 -

Fund delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law. Any amounts remaining unclaimed by holders of shares of Company Common Stock five (5) years after the Effective Time (or such earlier date, immediately prior to such time when the amounts would otherwise escheat to or become property of any Governmental Authority) shall become, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, the property of Parent free and clear of any claim or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.

(e) Investment of Exchange Fund. The Exchange Agent shall invest any cash included in the Exchange Fund, as directed by Parent, on a daily basis; provided, that (i) no such investment gains or losses thereon shall affect the amounts payable to the holders of shares of Company Common Stock pursuant to this Agreement, (ii) following any losses in the Exchange Fund, Parent shall promptly provide additional funds to the Exchange Agent to the extent such losses result in the amount of cash in the Exchange Fund being less than the amounts that remain payable to the holders of shares of Company Common Stock under this Agreement and (iii) such investments shall be in (A) short-term obligations of or guaranteed by the United States of America with maturities of no more than thirty (30) days, (B) in commercial paper obligations rated A-1 or P-1 or better by Xxxxx'x Investor Services, Inc. or Standard & Poor's Financial Services LLC, respectively or (C) short-term certificates of deposit with maturities of no more than thirty (30) days or overnight bank repurchase agreements, in each case, of commercial banks with capital exceeding $5 billion (based on the most recent financial statements of such bank that are then publicly available). The Exchange Fund shall not be used for any other purpose, except as provided in this Agreement.

(f) 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 requested by Parent, the posting by such Person of a bond in such reasonable and customary amount as Parent may reasonably request as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it, the Surviving Entity or the Exchange Agent with respect to such Certificate, Parent shall cause the Exchange Agent to issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate, the Merger Consideration, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(g) Withholding. The Exchange Agent, Parent, the Company and the Surviving Entity shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder of shares of Company Common Stock or equity awards under Company Benefit Plans, or any Person to whom any payment is required to be made pursuant to Section 2.4 hereof, such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, or any provision of state, local or foreign Tax law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld by the Exchange Agent, Parent, the Company or the Surviving Entity, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of shares of the

- 14 -

Company Common Stock or equity awards under Company Benefit Plans, or to those Persons who are entitled to any such payments, in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.

Section 2.3 Dissenters' Rights. Notwithstanding any other provision contained in this Agreement, no shares of Company Common Stock that are issued and outstanding as of the Effective Time and that are held by a shareholder who has properly exercised any dissenters' rights that may be applicable in respect of such shares (any such shares being referred to herein as "Dissenting Shares") under Section 60.551 et seq of the OBCA shall be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration as provided in Section 2.1 and instead shall be entitled to such rights as are granted by Section 60.551 et seq of the OBCA (unless and until such shareholder shall have failed to timely perfect, or shall have effectively withdrawn or lost, such shareholder's right to dissent from the Merger under the OBCA) and to receive such consideration as may be determined to be due with respect to such Dissenting Shares pursuant to and subject to the requirements of the OBCA. The Company shall (i) give Parent prompt notice of any notice or demand for appraisal or payment for shares of Company Common Stock or any withdrawals of such demands and any related instruments received by the Company and (ii) give Parent the opportunity to participate in and direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to any such demands and not, without the prior written consent of Parent, make any payment with respect to, or settle, offer to settle or otherwise negotiate any such demands.

Section 2.4 Equity-Based Awards.

(a) As of the Effective Time, each option to purchase shares of Company Common Stock granted under any Company Benefit Plan that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether vested or unvested (collectively, the "Company Options"), shall be cancelled in accordance with its terms and the terms of the plan pursuant to which it was granted and converted into the right of the holder thereof to receive from the Parent, and Parent shall pay or cause to be paid to each such holder of Company Options, a lump sum cash payment equal to the product of (i) the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Company Option and (ii) the excess, if any, of the Merger Consideration over the exercise price per share of Company Common Stock under such Company Option.

(b) As of the Effective Time, each grant of stock appreciation rights ("SARs") under any Company Benefit Plan that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (collectively, the "Company SARs") shall be fully vested and, at the Effective Time, cancelled in accordance with its terms and the terms of the plan pursuant to which it was granted, and each such Company SAR shall be converted into the right of the holder thereof to receive from the Parent, and Parent shall pay or cause to be paid to the holder thereof, at the Effective Time, a lump sum cash payment equal to (x) the aggregate amount, if any, by which the Merger Consideration exceeds the base prices of the Company SARs held, by such holder.

- 15 -

(c) As of the Effective Time, each restricted share of Company Common Stock granted under a Company Benefit Plan that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (collectively, the "Company Restricted Shares") shall be fully vested, and each such Company Restricted Share will by virtue of the Merger be cancelled and converted into the right of the holder thereof to receive from Parent, and Parent shall pay or cause to be paid to each such holder of Company Restricted Shares at the Effective Time, a lump sum cash payment equal to (x) the Merger Consideration multiplied by (y) the number of Company Restricted Shares held by such holder.

(d) Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall take all such steps as may be necessary or appropriate to cause any disposition of shares of Company Common Stock in connection with the consummation of the Transactions contemplated by this Agreement to be exempt under Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act, including any such actions specified in the No-Action Letter dated January 12, 1999, issued by the SEC to Skadden, Arps, Slate, Xxxxxxx & Xxxx, LLP.

Any Company Change of Recommendation shall not change the approval of this Agreement or any other approval of the Board of Directors of the Company in any respect that would have the effect of causing any Takeover Law to be applicable to any of the Transactions.

In connection with any Company Shareholders Meeting, the Company shall (A) unless there has been a Company Change of Recommendation in accordance with Section 5.3(b) and Section 5.3(c), use its reasonable best efforts to obtain the Company Shareholder Approval and (B) otherwise comply with all legal requirements applicable to such meeting. The Company shall include in the Proxy Statement the Company Recommendation, unless there has been a Company Change of Recommendation in accordance with Section 5.3(b) and Section 5.3(c). Without

- 56 -

limiting the generality of the foregoing, unless this Agreement has been terminated pursuant to Section 8.1, the Company shall submit the Merger and this Agreement for the approval of its shareholders at the Company Shareholders Meeting, as applicable, whether or not a Company Change of Recommendation shall have occurred or an Acquisition Proposal shall have been publicly announced or otherwise made known to the Company, its Board of Directors, its Representatives or its shareholders.

Section 6.2 Access to Information; Confidentiality.

(a) Subject to applicable Laws, the Company shall afford to Parent and its Representatives reasonable access (including, if applicable, the right at Parent's expense to make copies) during normal business hours during the period from the date hereof until the earlier to occur of the Effective Time and the date, if any, on which this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 8.1 to its and its Subsidiaries' properties, books, work papers, operating and financial reports, Tax Returns, Contracts, commitments, Representatives and records and, during such period, the Company shall furnish to Parent promptly all other information concerning its business, properties and personnel as Parent may reasonably request. Each party shall hold, and shall cause its Representatives to hold, all information received from the other party, directly or indirectly, in confidence in accordance with the confidentiality agreement, dated as of August 2, 2012, between Parent (or its Affiliate) and the Company (as it may be amended from time to time, the "Confidentiality Agreement"). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be obligated to provide any such access or information to the extent that doing so (x) may cause a waiver of an attorney-client privilege or loss of attorney work product protection, (y) would violate a confidentiality obligation to any Person or (z) would violate any Law applicable to it, its Subsidiaries or its business; it being understood and agreed that the Company shall advise Parent in such circumstances that it is unable to comply with Parent's reasonable requests for information or access as a result of attorney-client privilege, confidentiality obligations or applicable Law and the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to generally describe the types of information being withheld. The disclosing party shall be entitled to have its Representatives present at all times during any inspection pursuant to this Section 6.2. No access or information provided pursuant to this Section 6.2 will affect any of the representations or warranties of the parties contained in this Agreement.

(b) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 6.2 to the contrary, neither Parent nor any of its Representatives shall (i) contact or have any discussions with any of the Company's employees below the level of Vice President, unless in each case an employee at or above the level of Senior Vice President has (A) made such employee available or (B) given written consent to discussions with such employee, (ii) damage any property or any portion thereof, or (iii) perform any onsite procedure or investigation (including any onsite environmental investigation or study) that involves physical disturbance or damage to any property or any portions thereof.

(c) No access or information provided pursuant to this Section 6.2 or information provided or received by any party hereto pursuant to this Agreement will affect any of the representations or warranties of the parties hereto contained in this Agreement or the conditions hereunder to the obligations of the parties hereto.

Without limiting the foregoing but subject to the foregoing proviso, each of the Company and Parent shall (i) use their respective reasonable best efforts to cause the conditions set forth in Article VII and Annex I to be satisfied on a timely basis; (ii) use their respective reasonable best efforts to obtain all necessary actions or nonactions, waivers, clearances, consents and approvals from Governmental Authorities (including the HSR Approval and any other Governmental Approval) and the making of all necessary registrations and filings as may be necessary to obtain an approval or waiver from, or to avoid an Action, as promptly as reasonably practicable, including the payment of any applicable fees (and the parties hereby agree that the Company and its Subsidiaries on one hand, and Parent and its Affiliate on the other hand, shall each be responsible for the payment of their respective fees in connection with any of the filings and submissions referenced in this Section 6.3); (iii) as promptly as reasonably practicable following the receipt thereof, respond to (or properly reduce the scope

- 58 -

of) any formal or informal request for additional information or documentary material received by the Company, Parent or any of their respective Affiliates from any Governmental Authority whether received prior to or after the date of this Agreement; (iv) defend all lawsuits or other legal, regulatory or other proceedings to which it is a party challenging or affecting this Agreement or the consummation of any of the Transactions, in each case until the issuance of a final, non-appealable order, (v) seek to have lifted or rescinded any injunction or restraining order which may adversely affect the ability of the parties to consummate any of the Transactions and (vi) consult and cooperate with each other and consider in good faith the views of each other in connection with any analyses, appearances, presentations, memoranda, briefs, arguments, opinions or proposals made or submitted by or on behalf of the Company or Parent or any of their respective Affiliates in connection with proceedings before any Governmental Authority with respect to any of the Transactions contemplated hereby. Each of the Company and Parent shall cooperate with and furnish information to each other to the extent necessary to (x) prepare each filing or submission under any Antitrust Law and, if requested, to promptly amend or furnish additional information thereunder, and (y) keep each other reasonably informed with respect to the status of each action or nonaction, waiver, consent or approval sought from a Governmental Authority, in each case, in connection with the Transactions.

Where reasonably practical, none of the parties hereto shall independently participate in any meeting or conversation, or engage in any substantive conversation with any Governmental Authority in respect of any filings, submissions or inquiry without giving the other party prior notice of the meeting or conversation and, unless prohibited by such Governmental Authority, the opportunity to attend and/or participate and, if one party is prohibited by applicable Law or by the applicable Governmental Authority from participating in or attending any meetings, conferences or conversations, the attending party shall keep the other reasonably apprised with respect thereto. In connection with and without limiting the first sentence of this Section 6.3, each of the Company, Parent and the respective Boards of Directors of the Company and Parent shall (x) take all action reasonably necessary to ensure that no Takeover Law is or becomes applicable to the Transactions and (y) if any Takeover Law becomes applicable to the Transactions, take all commercially reasonable actions necessary to ensure that the Transactions may be completed as promptly as reasonably practicable on the terms contemplated by this Agreement.

(b) The Company shall give (or shall cause its Subsidiaries to give) any notices to third parties, and use, and cause its Subsidiaries to use, their commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any third party consents necessary to consummate any of the Transactions; provided, that the Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to coordinate and cooperate with Parent in determining whether any actions, consents, approvals or waivers are required to be obtained from any Person in connection with consummation of the Merger and in seeking any such actions, consents, approvals or waivers. In the event that the Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall fail to obtain any third party consent described in this Section 6.3(b) that is material to the operations of the Company, the Company shall, or shall cause its applicable Subsidiary to use its commercially reasonable efforts, and take or cause to be taken any such actions reasonably requested by Parent, to minimize any adverse effect upon the Company or its Subsidiaries resulting, or which could reasonably be expected to result, after the Effective Time, as applicable, from the failure to obtain such consent.

(c) Neither the Company nor Parent shall, nor shall they permit their respective Subsidiaries or Affiliates to, acquire or agree to acquire any business, Person or division thereof, or otherwise acquire or agree to acquire any assets, if, upon advice of such party's outside legal counsel, the entering into of a definitive agreement relating

- 59 -

to or the consummation of such acquisition, would reasonably be expected to materially delay, materially increase the likelihood of not obtaining, or require any action, nonaction, waiver, clearance, consent or approval under the HSR Act or applicable requirements of other applicable Antitrust Laws in connection with the Transactions prior to the Outside Date or (ii) would reasonably be expected to require any action, nonaction, waiver, clearance, consent or approval of any other Governmental Authority with respect to the Transactions.

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

Section 6.4 Directors' and Officers' Indemnification and Insurance.

(a) Parent and Merger Sub agree that all rights to exculpation and indemnification for acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Effective Time, whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the Effective Time (including any matters arising in connection with the Transactions or this Agreement), now existing in favor of the current or former directors, officers or employees, as the case may be, of the Company or its Subsidiaries (the "Indemnified Parties") as provided in the Company Articles, the Company Bylaws (or equivalent organizational documents of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries) or in any agreement (a "Company Indemnity Agreement"), each as in effect on the date of this Agreement, shall survive the Offer and the Merger and shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with their terms. The Company has made available to Parent true and complete copies of all Company Indemnity Agreements.

(b) Without limiting the provisions of Section 6.4(a), from and after the Effective Time and for a period of six (6) years thereafter, the Surviving Entity will (or Parent shall cause the Company or the Surviving Entity, as applicable, to): (i) indemnify, defend and hold harmless to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, each Indemnified Party from and against any costs or expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees), judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages, penalties, liabilities and amounts paid in settlement (including, in each case, any interest or assessments thereon) in connection with any Action, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, to the extent such Action arises out of or pertains to: (A) any action or omission or alleged action or omission in such Indemnified Party's capacity as a director, officer or employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries prior to the Effective Time; or (B) the Merger, this Agreement and any other Transaction and (ii) provide advancement of expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) of any Indemnified Party incurred in connection with any such Action upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such Indemnified Party to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that such Indemnified Party is not entitled to be indemnified. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnified Parties as a group may retain only one law firm to represent them with respect to each such matter unless there is, under applicable standards of professional conduct, a conflict on any significant issue between the positions of any two or more Indemnified Parties.

- 60 -

(c) The Surviving Entity will (and Parent shall cause the Company or the Surviving Entity, as applicable, to) provide, for a period of not less than six (6) years after the Effective Time, the Indemnified Parties who are insured under the Company's directors' and officers' insurance and indemnification policy with an insurance and indemnification policy (from either (i) the Company's existing insurance carrier or (ii) an insurance carrier that is reasonably satisfactory to the Company) that provides coverage for events occurring at or prior to the Effective Time (the "D&O Insurance") that is no less favorable than the existing policy of the Company; provided, that the cost of such D&O Insurance shall in no event exceed three hundred percent (300%) of the annual premium paid as of the date hereof by the Company for such insurance (which amount is set forth in Section 6.4(c) of the Company Disclosure Schedule). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company may and at Parent's request shall, prior to the Effective Time, purchase a "tail" directors' and officers' insurance and indemnification policy, provided, that payment for each year of insurance coverage provided by such "tail" directors' and officers' insurance policy shall not exceed three hundred (300%) of the annual premium paid as of the date hereof by the Company. Any such "tail" directors' and officers' insurance and indemnification policy will satisfy the Surviving Entity's obligation under this Section 6.4(c) to provide D&O Insurance. In the event the cap on amounts to be paid for D&O Insurance, whether for a new policy or tail coverage, is reached, the most protective policy of D&O insurance that can be acquired for a premium equal to such cap shall be purchased.

(d) The Indemnified Parties to whom this Section 6.4 applies shall be third party beneficiaries of this Section 6.4. The provisions of this Section 6.4 are intended to be for the benefit of each Indemnified Party and his or her successors, heirs and Representatives.

(e) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, this Section 6.4 shall survive the consummation of the Merger and shall be binding, jointly and severally, on all successors and assigns of the Company, the Surviving Entity and its Subsidiaries, and shall be enforceable by the Indemnified Parties and their successors, heirs or Representatives. In the event that the Company or the Surviving Entity or any of their respective successors or assigns 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 transfers or conveys all or a majority of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, to the extent necessary, proper provision shall be made so that such other Person or the successors and assigns of Parent or the Surviving Entity as the case may be shall succeed to its obligations set forth in this Section 6.4.

Section 6.5 Fees and Expenses. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, all fees and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement, the Offer, the Merger and the other Transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be paid by the party incurring such fees or expenses, whether or not any of the Transactions are consummated.

Section 6.6 Public Announcements. Parent and the Company shall consult with each other before issuing, and, to the extent practicable, give each other the reasonable opportunity to review and comment upon, any press release or other public statements with respect to the Transactions, including the Offer and the Merger, and shall not issue any such press release or make any such public statement, nor schedule any press conference or conference call with investors or analysts prior to such consultation, except as Parent or the Company, as applicable, may determine in good faith is required by applicable Law, court process or by obligations pursuant to any listing agreement with any national securities exchange, in which case the party required to make the release or announcement shall use reasonable best efforts to allow the other party reasonable time to comment on such release or announcement in advance of such issuance, it being understood that the final form and content of any such release or announcement shall be at the final discretion of the disclosing party. Prior to making any material written communications to the employees of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries relating to the Transactions, the Company shall provide Parent with a copy of the intended communication. The parties agree that the initial press release to be issued with respect to the Transactions shall be a joint press release in the form heretofore agreed to by the parties.

Section 6.7 Employee Matters.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained in this Agreement shall (i) prevent the amendment or termination of any Company Benefit Plan in accordance with its terms, or interfere with the right or obligation of Parent or the Surviving Entity or any of their respective Subsidiaries to make such changes as are necessary to conform with applicable Law or (ii) limit the right of Parent or the Surviving Entity or any of their respective Subsidiaries to terminate, or change the terms of, the employment of any employee at any time.

- 62 -

(b) For purposes of determining eligibility to participate, and to the extent that a Covered Employee becomes eligible to participate or commences to participate in an employee benefit plan maintained by Parent or the Surviving Entity, Parent shall cause such employee benefit plan to (i) recognize the service of such Covered Employee with the Company or its Subsidiaries for purposes of eligibility, vesting, level of benefits and benefit accrual (other than benefit accrual under a defined benefit pension plan) under such employee benefit plan to the same extent such service was recognized immediately prior to the Acceptance Time under a comparable Company Benefit Plan in which such Covered Employee was a participant immediately prior to the Acceptance Time, provided, that (A) recognition of such service shall not be required to the extent that the service of employees other than Covered Employees is not so recognized under such employee benefit plans and (B) such recognition of service shall not operate to duplicate any benefits payable to the Covered Employee with respect to the same period of service, and (ii) with respect to any health, dental or vision plan of Parent or any of its Subsidiaries (other than Company and its Subsidiaries) in which any Covered Employee commences to participate, in the plan year that includes the year in which such Covered Employee commences to participate, (x) cause any pre-existing condition limitations under such Parent or Subsidiary plan to be waived with respect to such Covered Employee to the extent such limitation would have been waived or satisfied under the comparable Company Benefit Plan in which such Covered Employee participated immediately prior to such commencement of participation, and (y) recognize any medical or other health expenses incurred by such Covered Employee in the year that includes the date of the Acceptance Time for purposes of any applicable deductible and annual out-of-pocket expense requirements under any such health, dental or vision plan of Parent or any of its Subsidiaries (including the Surviving Entity), to the extent such expenses were recognized under a comparable Company Benefit Plan.

(c) From and after the Acceptance Time, Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Entity to, honor, in accordance with the terms thereof as in effect as of the date hereof each employment or change in control agreement listed in Section 6.7(c) of the Company Disclosure Schedule.

(d) Prior to the scheduled expiration of the Offer, the Company (acting through its Board of Directors or an appropriate committee thereof) shall take all such steps as may be required to cause to be exempt under Rule 14d-10(d) promulgated under the Exchange Act any Arrangements that have been, or after the date of this Agreement will be, entered into by the Company or any of the Company's Subsidiaries with any Company Security holders and to ensure that any such Arrangements fall within the safe harbor provisions of such rule.

(e) This Section 6.7 shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of the parties to this Agreement, and nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended: (i) to confer upon any Company Employee or any other Person, any rights or remedies, including any right to employment or continued employment for any period or terms of employment, of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement, or (ii) be treated as an amendment or other modification of any Company Benefit Plan or other employee benefit plan or arrangement.

- 63 -

Section 6.8 Notification of Certain Matters. Each party shall give prompt written notice to the other party upon becoming aware of the occurrence or nonoccurrence of any change, effect, event, change in circumstance, occurrence or the discovery of any fact, that would reasonably be expected to (A) cause any of the conditions to Closing set forth in Article VII not to be satisfied and (B) in the case of the Company, cause any of the conditions set forth in Annex I not to be satisfied, (b) of any written communication from any Person alleging that the consent of such Person is required in connection with the Offer or the Merger; (c) of any material written communication from any Governmental Authority related to the Offer or the Merger, and (d) of any proceedings commenced and served or threatened in writing against it or any of its Subsidiaries that, if pending on the date of this Agreement, would have been required to have been disclosed pursuant to any section of this Agreement; provided, that the delivery of any notice pursuant to this Section 6.8 shall not limit or otherwise affect the remedies available hereunder.

Section 6.9 Termination of Certain Indebtedness. Unless Parent notifies the Company in writing no later than seven (7) Business Days prior to the anticipated Acceptance Time that it does not intend to prepay the Indebtedness and other obligations of the Company and its Subsidiaries under, and terminate the Company Loan Agreement and all related agreements on or prior to Closing, the following provisions of this Section 6.9 shall apply. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to deliver to Parent, (A) at least four (4) Business Days prior to the anticipated Acceptance Time, executed prepayment notices and (B) at least two (2) Business Days prior to the Acceptance Time, the final form of payoff letters to be executed by third-party lenders or an agent, if applicable, on their behalf, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Parent and the Company, with respect to all Indebtedness and other obligations of the Company and its Subsidiaries under the Company Loan Agreement, provided, that the Company shall not be required to deliver any prepayment notice or payoff letter unless the requisite lenders under the Company Loan Agreement acknowledge and agree that such prepayment or payoff is not irrevocable and that prepayment of the Company Loan Agreement shall not be required unless and until the Acceptance Time occurs. Parent and the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to procure that such payoff letters shall (i) provide for a mutually reasonably satisfactory arrangement (which arrangement may include replacement or backstop letters of credit issued under Parent's credit facility) with respect to, any letters of credit issued for the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (including any letters of credit issued under the Company Loan Agreement) and (ii) correctly specify the amounts, including any applicable premiums, fees and expenses, if any, necessary to repay such Indebtedness and completely discharge the obligations of the Company and its Subsidiaries with respect to such Indebtedness and release any Encumbrances on the assets and properties of the Company and its Subsidiaries relating to such Indebtedness. Subject to its receipt of the payoff letters referred to in this Section 6.9, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Parent and the Company and duly executed by the applicable

- 64 -

lenders, the Company shall discharge such Indebtedness at the Acceptance Time and implement such mutually satisfactory arrangement (which arrangement may include replacement or backstop letters of credit issued under Parent's credit facility) with respect to, any letters of credit in accordance with instructions as may be provided in such payoff letters and, unless otherwise requested by Parent, permanently terminate the Company Loan Agreement and all related agreements.

Section 6.10 Stock Exchange Delisting. The Company shall cooperate with Parent and use reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, at such times as may be necessary or advisable, all actions reasonably necessary on its part under applicable Laws (including the rules and regulations of the NYSE) to cause the delisting of the Company Common Stock from the NYSE and the deregistration of the Company Common Stock under the Exchange Act as promptly as practicable after the Effective Time.

Section 6.11 Shareholder Litigation.

- 67 -

Agreement (which shall be the date of receipt by the applicable party of a termination notice pursuant to Section 8.1) (including prior to the date of termination), then the Company shall pay to Parent $30,360,969 (the "Termination Fee") by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account or accounts designated in writing by Parent, within two (2) Business Days after the earlier of the date the Company enters into such definitive agreement or the date of the completion of such transaction; provided, however, that if Parent fails to deliver its wire instructions within twenty-four (24) hours of a request for such instructions by the Company, the Company shall pay to Parent the Termination Fee within one (1) Business Day following receipt of such wire instructions.

(c) In the event that this Agreement is terminated by Parent pursuant to and in accordance with Section 8.1(e), the Company shall pay to Parent the Termination Fee, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account or accounts designated in writing by Parent, within two (2) Business Days after demand by Parent.

(e) Each of the Company and Parent acknowledges and agrees that the agreements contained in this Section 8.2 are an integral part of the Transactions, and that, without these agreements, neither the Company nor Parent would have entered into this Agreement; accordingly, if the Company fails promptly to pay the Termination Fee due pursuant to Section 8.2, and, in order to obtain such payment, Parent commences a Proceeding that results in an award against the Company for such fee, then the Company shall pay Parent, such party's costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses) in connection with such Proceeding, together with interest on the amount of the applicable fee from the date such payment was required to be made until the date of payment at the prime lending rate as published in The Wall Street Journal in effect on the date such payment was required to be made. It is acknowledged and agreed that the Termination Fee is not a penalty, but rather is liquidated damages in a reasonable amount that will compensate Parent in the circumstances in which the Termination Fee is payable.

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement (but subject to Section 9.7), (x) if the Company pays the Termination Fee, then such payment shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of Parent and Merger Sub against the Company and its Subsidiaries and any of their respective former, current or future officers, directors, partners, shareholders, managers, members, Affiliates or successors, and (y) if Parent or Merger Sub receives any payments from the Company in respect of any breach of this Agreement, and thereafter Parent is entitled to receive

- 68 -

the Termination Fee under Section 8.2, the amount of such Termination Fee shall be reduced by the aggregate amount of any payments made by the Company to Parent or Merger Sub in respect of any such breaches of this Agreement. In no event shall the Company be required to pay the Termination Fee on more than one occasion.

Section 8.3 Effect of Termination. In the event of termination of this Agreement by either the Company or Parent as provided in Section 8.1, this Agreement shall forthwith become void and have no further force or effect, without any liability or obligation on the part of Parent, Merger Sub or the Company, provided that the provisions of Section 1.1(g), Section 6.5, Section 8.2, this Section 8.3, Article IX, and the second sentence of Section 6.2(a) shall survive such termination; and provided further, that nothing herein shall relieve any party from any liability for any willful and material breach hereof prior to such termination. For purposes of this Agreement, "willful and material breach" shall mean a material breach that is a consequence of an act undertaken by the breaching party with the actual knowledge that the taking of such act would, or would be reasonably expected to, cause a material breach of this Agreement.

Section 8.4 Amendment. Subject to Section 1.3(b), this Agreement may be amended by the parties hereto at any time before or after receipt of the Company Shareholder Approval, to the extent required by applicable Law; provided, however, that after any such approval has been obtained, there shall be made no amendment that by Law requires further approval by the shareholders of the Company or Parent without such further approval having been obtained. This Agreement may not be amended except by an instrument in writing signed on behalf of each of the parties hereto.

Section 8.5 Extension; Waiver. At any time prior to the Effective Time, the parties may (i) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the other parties, (ii) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties contained herein or in any document delivered pursuant hereto or (iii) subject to Section 1.1(b) and the proviso to the first sentence of Section 8.4, waive compliance with any of the agreements or conditions contained herein. Any agreement on the part of a party to any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed on behalf of such party. The failure of any party to this Agreement to assert any of its rights under this Agreement or otherwise shall not constitute a waiver of such rights.

Article IX
Miscellaneous

Section 9.1 Nonsurvival of Representations and Warranties. None of the representations and warranties in this Agreement shall survive the Effective Time. This Section 9.1 shall not limit the survival of the covenants set forth in Section 6.2 (Access to Information; Confidentiality), Section 6.4 (Directors' and Officers' Indemnification and Insurance), Section 6.5 (Fees and Expenses) and any other covenant or agreement of the parties which by its terms contemplates performance after the Effective Time.

Section 9.3 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts (including via facsimile or electronic transmission), all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and each of which shall be deemed to be an original, and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each of the parties hereto and delivered to the other parties.

Section 9.4 Entire Agreement; No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement, including the Company Disclosure Schedule and the Confidentiality Agreement (a) constitute the entire agreement, and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement and the Confidentiality Agreement; (b) are not intended, and shall not be deemed, to confer upon any Person other than the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns any rights, benefits or remedies, other than (i) the rights to indemnification and insurance pursuant to Section 6.4 hereof (of which the Persons entitled to indemnification are the intended beneficiaries); and (ii) after the Effective Time, the rights of the Company's shareholders to receive the Merger Consideration and of the holders of Company Stock Options and Company SARs to receive the benefits of Article II hereof.

Section 9.5 Governing Law. This Agreement and any dispute arising out of, relating to or in connection with this Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the Laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any choice or conflict of Law provision or rule (whether of the State of Oregon or of any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the Laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware; provided, that any disputes with respect to, arising out of, relating to, or in connection with fiduciary duties of the members of the Board of Directors of the Company or any other provisions herein that are required by the "internal affairs doctrine" to be governed by the Laws of the State of Oregon shall be governed by such Laws of the State of Oregon, but only to the extent so required.

Section 9.6 Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder shall be assigned, in whole or in part, by operation of Law or otherwise by any of the parties without the prior written consent of the other parties and any attempt to make any such assignment without such consent shall be null and void, except that Merger Sub may assign any of or all its rights, interests and

- 71 -

obligations under this Agreement to any direct or indirect wholly owned Subsidiary of Parent or to any Affiliate of which Merger Sub is a wholly-owned Subsidiary, but no such assignment shall relieve Merger Sub of any of its obligations hereunder. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the parties and their respective successors and assigns.

Section 9.7 Enforcement of the Agreement; Consent to Jurisdiction. The parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached or threatened to be breached and that an award of money damages would be inadequate in such event. It is accordingly agreed that the parties shall be entitled to equitable relief, without proof of actual damages, including an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at Law or in equity. The parties further agree to waive any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with the obtaining of any such injunctive or other equitable relief. In addition, each of Parent, Merger Sub and the Company irrevocably (a) consents to submit itself to the personal jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (or, if the Delaware Court of Chancery declines to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, any federal court located in the State of Delaware) with respect to any dispute arising out of, relating to, or in connection with this Agreement or the Transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (b) agrees that it will not attempt to deny or defeat such personal jurisdiction by motion or other request for leave from any such court and (c) agrees that it will not bring any Action arising out of, relating to or in connection with this Agreement or the Transactions in any court other than the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (or, if the Delaware Court of Chancery declines to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, any federal court located in the State of Delaware). The parties irrevocably and unconditionally waive any objection to the laying of venue of any Action arising out of this Agreement or the Transactions in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (or, if the Delaware Court of Chancery declines to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, any federal court located in the State of Delaware), and hereby further irrevocably and unconditionally waive and agree not to assert by way of motion, defense or otherwise in any such court that (i) such party is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of the above-named courts for any reason other than the failure to lawfully serve process, (ii) such party 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), (iii) any such Action brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum, (iv) that the venue of the such Action is improper, or (v) that this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement may not be enforced in or by such courts. The consents to jurisdiction set forth in this Section 9.7 shall not constitute general consents to service of process in the jurisdictions specified above and shall have no effect for any purpose except as provided in this Section 9.7 and shall not be deemed to confer rights on any Person other than the parties hereto. Each of the Company, Parent and Merger Sub hereby

- 72 -

agrees that in addition to any other legally permissible means of service, service of any process, summons, notice or document by U.S. registered mail to the respective addresses set forth in Section 9.2 shall be effective service of process for any proceeding arising out of, relating to or in connection with this Agreement or the Transactions, including the Merger.

Section 9.8 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH OF PARENT, MERGER SUB AND THE COMPANY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE ACTIONS OF PARENT OR THE COMPANY IN THE NEGOTIATION, ADMINISTRATION, PERFORMANCE AND ENFORCEMENT THEREOF.

Section 9.9 Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement, or the application thereof, becomes or is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of law or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect for so long as the economic or legal substance of the Transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party hereto. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law in an acceptable manner to the end that the Transactions contemplated hereby are fulfilled to the extent possible.
