Section 1.1 The Merger

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and in accordance with the DGCL, at the Effective Time, the Company and Purchaser shall consummate the Merger pursuant to which (i) Purchaser shall be merged with and into the Company and the separate corporate existence of Purchaser shall thereupon cease, (ii) the Company shall be the surviving corporation in the Merger and shall continue to be governed by the DGCL, and (iii) the separate corporate existence of the Company with all its rights, privileges, immunities, powers and franchises shall continue unaffected by the Merger.

Section 1.3 Effective Time.

Section 1.4 Directors and Officers of the Surviving Corporation. The directors of Purchaser immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, from and after the Effective Time, be appointed as the directors of the Surviving Corporation, and the officers of the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time, from and after the Effective Time, shall continue as the officers of the Surviving Corporation, in each case until their respective successors shall have been duly elected, designated or qualified, or until their earlier death, resignation or removal in accordance with the Surviving Corporation’s certificate of incorporation and bylaws.

Section 1.5 Subsequent Actions. If at any time after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall determine, in its sole discretion, or shall be advised, that any deeds, bills of sale, instruments of conveyance, assignments, assurances or any other actions or things are necessary or desirable to vest, perfect or confirm of record or otherwise in the Surviving Corporation its right, title or interest in, to or under any of the rights, properties or assets of either of the Company or Purchaser acquired or to be acquired by the Surviving Corporation as a result of, or in connection with, the Merger or otherwise to carry out this Agreement, then the officers and directors of the Surviving Corporation shall be authorized to execute and deliver, in the name and on behalf of either the Company or Purchaser, all such deeds, bills of sale, instruments of conveyance, assignments and assurances and to take and do, in the name and on behalf of each of such corporations or otherwise, all such other actions and things as may be necessary or desirable to vest, perfect or confirm any and all right, title or interest in, to and under such rights, properties or assets in the Surviving Corporation or otherwise to carry out this Agreement.

Section 1.6 Stockholders’ Meeting.

(a) As promptly as practicable following the date hereof, the Company shall prepare and file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), a proxy statement (together with any amendments thereof or supplements thereto and any other required proxy materials, the “Proxy Statement”) for a special meeting of its stockholders ((including any adjournment or postponement thereof) the “Special Meeting”) relating to the Merger and this Agreement; provided, that Parent, Purchaser and their counsel shall be given a reasonable opportunity to review the Proxy Statement before it is filed with the SEC and the Company shall give due consideration to all reasonable additions, deletions or changes suggested thereto by Parent, Purchaser and their counsel. Subject to Section 5.2, the Company shall include in the Proxy Statement the Company Board Recommendation (unless the Company Board of Directors withdraws or modifies its Company Board Recommendation in accordance with Section 5.2). The Company shall use its reasonable efforts to obtain and furnish the information required to be included by the SEC in the Proxy Statement and, after consultation with Purchaser, respond promptly to any comments made by the SEC with respect to the Proxy Statement. The Company shall provide Parent, Purchaser and their counsel with copies of any written comments, and shall inform them of any oral comments, that the Company or its counsel may receive from time to time from the SEC or its staff with respect to the Proxy Statement promptly after the Company’s receipt of such comments, and any written or oral responses thereto. Parent, Purchaser and their counsel shall be given a reasonable opportunity to review any such written responses and the Company shall give due

31344360_15

- 3 -

consideration to all reasonable additions, deletions or changes suggested thereto by Parent, Purchaser and their counsel. The Company, on the one hand, and Parent and Purchaser, on the other hand, agree to promptly correct any information provided by it for use in the Proxy Statement if and to the extent that such information shall have become false or misleading in any material respect or as otherwise required by applicable Laws, and the Company further agrees to cause the Proxy Statement, as so corrected (if applicable), to be filed with the SEC and, if any such correction is made following the mailing of the Proxy Statement as provided in Section 1.6(b), mailed to holders of the Shares, in each case as and to the extent required by the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Exchange Act”) or the SEC (or its staff).

(b) Subject to Section 1.6(a), the Company, acting through the Board of Directors, shall take all actions in accordance with applicable Law, its Company Governing Documents and the rules of the Nasdaq to establish a record date for, duly call, give notice of, convene and hold as promptly as practicable the Special Meeting for the purpose of obtaining the Requisite Stockholder Approval; provided, that such record date shall be established no later than ten (10) business days after the date on which the SEC (or the staff of the SEC) confirms that it has no further comments on the Proxy Statement and shall cause the Proxy Statement to be mailed to its stockholders at the earliest possible time after resolution of such comments. Subject to Section 5.2, the Company shall use its reasonable efforts to solicit and obtain from its stockholders proxies giving the Requisite Stockholder Approval and proxies necessary to adjourn or postpone the Special Meeting to solicit additional proxies if there are insufficient votes at the time of the Special Meeting for the Requisite Stockholder Approval and shall take other actions reasonably necessary to secure the vote or consent of the stockholders of the Company required by the Company Charter Documents and the rules of the Nasdaq. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Company may adjourn or postpone the Company Stockholders Meeting (i) after consultation with Parent, and with Parent’s consent, to the extent necessary to ensure that any required supplement or amendment to the Proxy Statement is provided to the stockholders of the Company within a reasonable amount of time in advance of the Special Meeting, (ii) if as of the time for which the Special Meeting is originally scheduled (as set forth in the Proxy Statement) there are insufficient shares of Common Stock represented (either in person or by proxy) to constitute a quorum necessary to conduct the business of the Special Meeting; provided that, in each case, such adjournment or postponement does change the record date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Parent may require the Company to adjourn or postpone the Special Meeting one (1) time (for a period of not more than 30 calendar days but not past the Outside Date), unless prior to such adjournment the Company shall have received an aggregate number of proxies voting for the adoption of this Agreement and the Transactions, which have not been withdrawn, such that the condition in Section 7.1(a) will be satisfied at such meeting. Once the Company has established a record date for the Special Meeting, the Company shall not change such record date or establish a different record date for the Special Meeting without the prior written consent of Parent, unless required to do so by applicable Law (including, in the

31344360_15

- 4 -

event that the Special Meeting is adjourned or postponed in accordance with this Section 1.6, by implementing such adjournment or postponement in such a way that the Company does not establish a new record date for the Special Meeting, as so adjourned or postponed). The Company shall, upon the reasonable request of Parent, advise Parent at least on a daily basis on each of the last ten (10) business days prior to the date of the Special Meeting as to the aggregate tally of proxies received by the Company with respect to the Requisite Stockholder Approval. Without the prior written consent of Parent, except as required by applicable Law, the adoption of this Agreement and the Transactions shall be the only matter (other than procedure matters) which the Company shall propose to be acted on by the stockholders of the Company at the Special Meeting.

ARTICLE II

CONVERSION OF SECURITIES

Section 2.1 Conversion of Capital Stock. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holders of any securities of the Company or common stock of Purchaser (the “Purchaser Common Stock”):

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

(b) Cancellation of Treasury Stock and Parent-Owned Stock. All Shares owned by the Company and all Shares owned by Parent, Purchaser and any of their respective Subsidiaries shall be cancelled and shall cease to exist, and no consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor.

(c) Conversion of Common Stock. Each Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than Shares to be cancelled in accordance with Section 2.1(b) and other than Dissenting Shares) shall be converted automatically into and shall thereafter represent the right to receive an amount in cash equal to $0.50, without interest (the “Merger Consideration”), payable in accordance with this Agreement. From and after the Effective Time, all such Shares shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled and shall cease to exist, and each holder of a Share shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the Merger Consideration therefor upon the surrender of such Share in accordance with Section 2.2, without interest thereon.

(d) Adjustment to Merger Consideration. The Merger Consideration shall be adjusted appropriately to reflect the effect of any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend (including any dividend or distribution of securities convertible into Common Stock), cash dividend, reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, combination, exchange of shares or other like change with respect to Common Stock occurring on or after the date hereof and prior to the Effective Time.

Section 2.2 Payment for Securities; Surrender of Certificates.

(a) Paying Agent. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall designate a reputable bank or trust company, which shall be reasonably acceptable to Parent, to act as the payment agent in connection with the Merger (the “Paying Agent”). The Paying Agent agreement pursuant to which the Company shall appoint the Paying Agent shall be in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Parent. Prior to or at the Effective Time, Parent or Purchaser shall deposit, or cause to be deposited, with the Paying Agent the aggregate Merger Consideration with respect to Shares converted into Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.1(c) (the “Exchange Fund”). In the event the Exchange Fund shall be insufficient to make the payments contemplated by Section 2.1(c), Parent shall, or shall cause Purchaser to, promptly deposit additional funds with the Paying Agent in an amount which is equal to the deficiency in the amount required to make such payment. The Exchange Fund shall not be used for any purpose that is not expressly provided for in this Agreement. The Exchange Fund shall be invested by the Paying Agent as reasonably directed by the Company; provided, however, that any investment of such cash shall in all events be limited to direct short-term obligations of, or short-term obligations fully guaranteed as to principal and interest by, the U.S. government, in commercial paper rated A-1 or P-1 or better by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. or Standard & Poor’s Corporation, respectively, or in certificates of deposit, bank repurchase agreements or banker’s acceptances of commercial banks with capital exceeding $10 billion (based on the most recent financial statements of such bank that are then publicly available), and that no such investment or loss thereon shall affect the amounts payable to holders of Certificates or Book Entry Shares pursuant to this Article II. Any interest and other income resulting from such investments shall be paid to the Surviving Corporation on the earlier of one year after the Effective Time or full payment of the Exchange Fund.

(b) Procedures for Surrender. Promptly after the Effective Time (but in no event later than two (2) business days), Parent shall, and shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, cause the Paying Agent to mail (and make available for collection by hand) to each holder of record of a certificate or certificates which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding Shares (the “Certificates”) or non-certificated Shares represented by book-entry (“Book-Entry Shares”) and whose Shares were converted pursuant to Section 2.1 into the right to receive the Merger Consideration (i) a letter of transmittal, which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of the Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu thereof) to the Paying Agent and shall be in such form and have such other provisions as Parent may reasonably specify and (ii) instructions for effecting the surrender of the Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu thereof) or Book-Entry Shares in exchange for payment of the Merger Consideration. Upon surrender of a Certificate (or an affidavit of loss in lieu thereof) or Book-Entry Share for cancellation to the Paying Agent or to such other agent or agents as may be appointed by Parent or the Surviving Corporation, together with such letter of transmittal duly completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto, and such other documents as may be required pursuant to such instructions, the holder of such Certificate or Book-Entry Share shall be

31344360_15

- 6 -

entitled to receive in exchange therefor the applicable Merger Consideration, without interest, for each Share formerly represented by such Certificate or Book-Entry Share, to be mailed (or made available for collection by hand if so elected by the surrendering holder) within five (5) business days following the later to occur of (i) the Effective Time or (ii) the Paying Agent’s receipt of such Certificate (or affidavit of loss in lieu thereof) or Book-Entry Share, and the Certificate (or affidavit of loss in lieu thereof) or Book-Entry Share so surrendered shall be forthwith cancelled. The Paying Agent shall accept such Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu thereof) or Book-Entry Shares upon compliance with such reasonable terms and conditions as the Paying Agent may impose to effect an orderly exchange thereof in accordance with normal exchange practices. If payment of the Merger Consideration is to be made to a Person other than the Person in whose name the surrendered Certificate is registered, it shall be a condition precedent of payment that (A) the Certificate so surrendered shall be properly endorsed or shall be otherwise in proper form for transfer and (B) the Person requesting such payment shall have paid any transfer and other similar Taxes required by reason of the payment of the Merger Consideration to a Person other than the registered holder of the Certificate surrendered or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Surviving Corporation that such Tax either has been paid or is not required to be paid. Payment of the Merger Consideration with respect to Book-Entry Shares shall only be made to the Person in whose name such Book-Entry Shares are registered. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 2.2, each Certificate and Book-Entry Share shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive the Merger Consideration in cash as contemplated by this Section 2.2, without interest thereon.

(c) Transfer Books; No Further Ownership Rights in Shares. The Merger Consideration paid in respect of shares of Company Common Stock upon the surrender for exchange of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares 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 Certificates or Book-Entry Shares, and at the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed and thereafter there shall be no further registration of transfers of Shares on the records of the Company. From and after the Effective Time, the holders of Certificates outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall cease to have any rights with respect to such Shares except as otherwise provided for herein or by applicable Law. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates or Book-Entry Shares are presented to the Surviving Corporation for any reason, they shall be cancelled and exchanged as provided in this Agreement.

(d) Termination of Exchange Fund; No Liability. At any time following twelve (12) months after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall be entitled to require the Paying Agent to deliver to it any funds (including any interest received with respect thereto) remaining in the Exchange Fund that have not been disbursed, or for which disbursement is pending subject only to the Paying Agent’s routine administrative procedures, to holders of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares, and thereafter such holders shall be entitled to look only to the Surviving Corporation and Parent (subject to abandoned property, escheat or other similar Laws) as general creditors thereof with

31344360_15

- 7 -

respect to the Merger Consideration payable upon due surrender of their Certificates or Book-Entry Shares and compliance with the procedures in Section 2.2(b), without any interest thereon. Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the Surviving Corporation, Parent or the Paying Agent shall be liable to any holder of a Certificate or Book-Entry Share for Merger Consideration properly delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law. Any amounts remaining unclaimed by such holders at such time at which such 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 or its designee, free and clear of all claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.

(e) Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. In the event that any Certificates shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, the Paying Agent shall issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificates, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the holder thereof, the Merger Consideration payable in respect thereof pursuant to Section 2.1 hereof; provided, however, that Parent may, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the payment of such Merger Consideration, require the owners of such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificates to deliver a bond in such sum as it may reasonably direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against Parent, the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent with respect to the Certificates alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.

Section 2.3 Dissenting Shares.

(a) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Shares outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and held by a holder who is entitled to demand and properly demands, exercises and perfects its, his or her appraisal rights with respect to such Shares (“Dissenting Shares”) pursuant to, and who complies in all respects with, Section 262 of the DGCL (the “Appraisal Rights”) shall not be converted into or be exchangeable for the right to receive the Merger Consideration, but instead such holder shall be entitled to payment of the fair value of such Dissenting Shares in accordance with the Appraisal Rights and, at the Effective Time, such Dissenting Shares shall no longer be outstanding, shall automatically be canceled and shall cease to exist, and such holder shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the rights set forth in Section 262 of the DGCL; provided, however, that if any such holder shall fail to perfect or otherwise shall waive, withdraw or lose the right to payment of the fair value of such Dissenting Shares under the Appraisal Rights, then the right of such holder to be paid the fair value of such holder’s Dissenting Shares shall cease and such Dissenting Shares shall be deemed to have been converted as of the Effective Time into, and to have become exchangeable solely for the right to receive, the Merger Consideration.

(b) The Company shall give prompt notice, and in any event prior to the Effective Time, to Purchaser of any demands received by the Company for appraisal of any Shares, and Purchaser shall have the right to participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demands. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall not, without the prior written consent of Purchaser, make any payment with respect

31344360_15

- 8 -

to, or settle or compromise or offer to settle or compromise, any such demand, or agree to do any of the foregoing.

Section 2.4 Treatment of Company Options and Restricted Stock Awards.

(a) Prior to the Effective Time, the Company Board (or, if appropriate, any committee thereof) shall adopt appropriate resolutions and take all other actions necessary and appropriate to provide that, (i) immediately prior to the Effective Time, each outstanding option to purchase Shares (the “Company Options”), under any stock option plan of the Company, including the 2003 Plan, the 2008 Plan or the ESPP, or any other plan, agreement or arrangement of the Company or any Company Subsidiary, including any foreign equity plan, agreement or arrangement (collectively, the “Company Equity Plans”), shall become immediately vested and exercisable in full, (ii) the holders of such Company Options shall have the right to exercise such Company Options until immediately prior to the Effective Time, and (iii) with respect to any Company Options that remain outstanding and are unexercised as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, all such Company Options shall be cancelled and, in exchange therefore, each holder of any such cancelled Company Option shall be entitled to receive, in consideration of the cancellation of such Company Option and in settlement therefore, a payment in cash of an amount equal to the product of (A) the total number of Shares previously subject to such Company Option and (B) the excess, if any, of the Merger Consideration over the exercise price per Share (subject to applicable adjustments) previously subject to such Company Option (such amount being hereinafter referred to as the “Option Consideration”). The Option Consideration shall be paid by the Surviving Corporation as soon as practicable (but in no event later than five (5) business days) following the Effective Time. From and after the Effective Time, any such cancelled Company Option shall no longer be exercisable by the former holder thereof, but shall only entitle such holder to the payment of the Option Consideration.

(b) Prior to the Effective Time, the Company Board (or, if appropriate, any committee thereof) shall adopt appropriate resolutions and take all other actions necessary and appropriate to provide that, (i) immediately prior to the Effective Time, each outstanding restricted stock unit (the “Restricted Stock Units”) and outstanding restricted stock award (the “Restricted Stock Awards”) under the Company Equity Plans shall become immediately vested and distributable upon the consummation of the Merger, and (ii) each vested Restricted Stock Award shall be cancelled and the holder thereof shall be entitled to receive the Merger Consideration in respect of each Share underlying the cancelled vested Restricted Stock Award in accordance with Section 2.1(c) hereof.

(c) The Company shall take all corporate actions necessary to effectuate the treatment of the Company Options, and Restricted Stock Awards (collectively, the “Company Equity Awards”) as contemplated by this Section 2.4 and to ensure that (i) all awards issued under the Company Equity Plans shall be settled as of the Effective Time, and (ii) neither any holder of Company Equity Awards, nor any other participant in any Company Equity Plan shall have any right thereunder to acquire any securities of the

31344360_15

- 9 -

Company, the Surviving Corporation, Parent, or to receive any payment or benefit with respect to any award previously granted under the Company Equity Plans, except as provided in this Section 2.4.

(d) As soon as practicable after the Effective Time, and to the extent applicable or required, Parent shall deliver to the holders of Company Equity Awards, appropriate notices setting forth such holders’ rights pursuant to the Company Equity Plans and this Agreement.

(e) After the Effective Time, all Company Equity Plans shall be terminated and no further Company Equity Awards or other rights with respect to Shares shall be granted thereunder.

Section 2.5 Additional Benefits Matters. The Company shall take all necessary actions, including obtaining any required consents from holders of outstanding Company Options that are necessary to effect the transactions described in Section 2.4 above pursuant to the terms of the applicable Company Equity Plan and agreements evidencing the Company Options. All amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.4 shall be paid without interest (unless otherwise noted).

31344360_15

- 33 -

permit any Company Subsidiary, and shall cause its Representatives not to, directly or indirectly:

(t) solicit, initiate or knowingly facilitate or encourage (including by way of providing non-public information) any inquiries regarding, or the making of any proposal or offer that constitutes, or could reasonably be expected to lead to the submission of any Competing Proposal;

(u) participate in any negotiations regarding, or furnish to any Person any material nonpublic information with respect to, any Competing Proposal;

(v) engage in discussions with any Person with respect to any Competing Proposal;

(z) agree to do any of the foregoing (any act or failure to act relating to clauses (w) and (x) above, a “Change of Recommendation”).

(b) In the event that a tender or exchange offer relating to the Company’s securities shall have been commenced by a Person unaffiliated with Parent, and the Company (i) fails to send a statement pursuant to Rule 14e-2 promulgated under the Exchange within ten (10) business days after such tender or exchange offer is first published, or (ii) sends a statement pursuant to such Rule 14e-2 that (x) the Company Board of Directors recommends acceptance of such tender or exchange offer, or (y) that the Company Board of Directors expresses no opinion and is remaining neutral toward the bidder's tender offer or is unable to take a position with respect to the bidder's tender offer without the Board of Directors (or any committee thereof) having determined in good faith (after consulting with its legal counsel and financial advisors) that the failure to send such a statement described in (y) is reasonably likely to be inconsistent with the fiduciary duties of the members of the Company Board of Directors (or any committee thereof) to the Company’s stockholders under applicable Law, then any such action in (i) and (ii) shall constitute a Change of Recommendation. Notwithstanding the limitations set forth in Section 5.2(a), if at any time after the date hereof but prior to the receipt of the Requisite Stockholder Vote, the Company receives an unsolicited written Competing Proposal which the Company Board of Directors determines in good faith after consultation with legal and financial advisors constitutes or could reasonably be expected

31344360_15

- 34 -

to lead to, after the taking of any of the actions referred to in either of clause (x) or (y) below, a Superior Proposal, then the Company may (x) enter into negotiations with respect to and execute an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement with such Person and direct any Person to the provisions of this Agreement, (y) furnish non-public information to the Person making such Competing Proposal, if, and only if, prior to so furnishing such information, the Company receives from such Person a signed Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement and (z) engage in discussions or negotiations with such Person with respect to the Competing Proposal, provided, however, that as promptly as reasonably practicable following the Company taking such actions as described in clauses (x), (y) or (z) above, the Company shall provide written notice to Parent of such Competing Proposal; provided, further, such notice to Parent shall identify the Person making, and indicate in reasonable detail the terms and conditions of, such Competing Proposal. The Company shall keep Parent informed, on a reasonably current basis of any material developments of the status and details of any Competing Proposal or inquiry (including whether such Competing Proposal or inquiry has been withdrawn or rejected and any material change to the terms thereof). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall have the right to (1) waive the provisions of any Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement to allow another person to make a Competing Proposal on a non-public basis to the Company and the Company Board of Directors, and (2) following the receipt of a written and unsolicited Competing Proposal, contact the Person submitting the Competing Proposal in order to clarify and understand the terms and conditions of the Competing Proposal so as to determine whether the Competing Proposal constitutes or could reasonably be expected to lead to a Superior Proposal.

(c) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, at any time prior to obtaining the Requisite Stockholder Approval, the Company Board of Directors may, if the Company receives a Competing Proposal that the Company Board of Directors concludes in good faith (after consultation with legal and financial advisors) constitutes a Superior Proposal and the Company Board of Directors (or any committee thereof) has determined in good faith (after consulting with its legal counsel and financial advisors) that the failure to accept such Superior Proposal is reasonably likely to be inconsistent with the fiduciary duties of the members of the Company Board of Directors (or any committee thereof) to the Company’s stockholders under applicable Law, (i) effect a Change of Recommendation and/or (ii) terminate this Agreement to enter into a definitive agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal; provided, however, that the Board of Directors may not effect a Change of Recommendation relating to a Superior Proposal pursuant to the foregoing clause (i) or terminate this Agreement pursuant to the foregoing clause (ii) unless the Company shall have provided prior written notice to Parent and Purchaser, at least four (4) business days in advance of such Change of Recommendation or such termination (the “Notice Period”), of its intention to effect a Change of Recommendation in response to such Superior Proposal or terminate this Agreement to enter into a definitive agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal, which notice shall specify the material terms and conditions of any such Superior Proposal (including the identity of the Person making such Superior Proposal). Prior to effecting such Change of Recommendation or terminating this Agreement to enter into a

31344360_15

- 35 -

definitive agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal, the Company shall, and shall cause its Representatives to, during the Notice Period, negotiate with Parent, if Parent wishes to, in good faith to make such adjustments in the terms and conditions of this Agreement so that such Competing Proposal ceases to constitute a Superior Proposal and in the event of any material change to the material terms of such Superior Proposal during the Notice Period, the Company shall, in each case, have delivered to Parent an additional notice consistent with that described in clause (1) above and the Notice Period shall have recommenced, except that the Notice Period shall be at least one (1) business day, In addition, prior to the Effective Time, the Company Board of Directors may effect a Change of Recommendation in response to an Intervening Event if Company Board of Directors has determined in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel, that failure to take such action would be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law.

(d) The Company shall not release any Person from, or waive any provisions of, any confidentiality or similar agreement in favor of the Company; provided, however, that the Company may waive its rights under any confidentiality or similar agreement to the extent necessary to enable the parties subject thereto to make Competing Proposals to the Company.

(e) Nothing contained in this Agreement shall prohibit the Company or the Company Board of Directors from (i) disclosing to the Company’s stockholders a position contemplated by Rules 14d-9, 14e-2(a) and Item 1012(a) of Regulation M-A promulgated under the Exchange Act or (ii) making any disclosure to its stockholders if the Company Board of Directors has reasonably determined in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel, that the failure to do so would be inconsistent with any applicable Law; provided, that disclosures under this Section 5.2(f) shall not be a basis, in themselves, for Buyer to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1. In addition, it is understood and agreed that, for purposes of this Agreement, any disclosure that constitutes a stop, look, and listen communication or similar communication of the type contemplated by Section 14d-9(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act or similar communication to the stockholders of the Company shall not constitute a Change of Recommendation.

(b) Without limiting the provisions of Section 6.5(a), for a period of six (6) years after the Effective Time, Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to: (i) indemnify and hold harmless each Covered Person against and from any costs, fees or expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages, liabilities and amounts paid in settlement in connection with any claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, to the extent such

31344360_15

- 39 -

claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation arises out of or pertains to: (A) any action or omission or alleged action or omission in such Covered Person’s capacity as such, or (B) this Agreement and any of the Transactions; and (ii) pay in advance of the final disposition of any such claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation the expenses (including attorneys’ fees) of any Covered Person upon receipt, to the extent required by the DGCL, of an undertaking by or on behalf of such Covered Person to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that such Covered Person is not entitled to be indemnified. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 6.5 or elsewhere in this Agreement, (i) neither Parent nor the Surviving Corporation shall (and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation not to) settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment or otherwise seek termination with respect to any claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation of a covered Person for which indemnification may be sought under this Section 6.5(b) unless such settlement, compromise, consent or termination includes an unconditional release of such covered Person from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation and (ii) the Covered Persons as a group shall retain only one law firm to represent them with respect to each matter as long as such Covered Persons do not have any defenses which conflict with each other, in which case separate counsel may be retained.

The Indemnification Agreements with Covered Persons that survive the Merger shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with their terms.

(d) For a period of six (6) years after the Effective Time, Parent shall cause to be maintained in effect the current policies of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance maintained by the Company and the Company Subsidiaries (provided that Parent may substitute therefor policies with reputable and financially sound carriers of at least the same coverage and amounts containing terms and conditions which are no less advantageous) with respect to claims arising from or related to facts or events which occurred at or before the Effective Time; provided, however, that Parent shall not be obligated to make annual premium payments for such insurance to the extent such premiums exceed 300% of the annual premiums paid as of the date hereof by the Company for such insurance (such 300% amount, the “Base Premium”); provided, further, if such insurance coverage cannot be obtained at all, or can only be obtained at an annual premium in excess of the Base Premium, Parent shall maintain the most advantageous policies of directors’ and officers’ insurance obtainable for an annual premium equal to the Base Premium; provided, further, if the Parent in its sole discretion elects, by giving written notice to the Company at least five (5) business days prior to the Effective Time, then, in lieu of the foregoing insurance, effective as of the Effective Time, the Company shall purchase, at Parent’s expense, a directors’ and officers’ liability insurance “tail” or “runoff” insurance program for a period of six (6) years after the Effective Time with respect to wrongful acts and/or omissions committed or allegedly

committed at or prior to the Effective Time (such coverage shall have an aggregate coverage limit over the term of such policy in an amount not to exceed the annual aggregate coverage limit under the Company’s and Company Subsidiaries’ existing directors’ and officers’ liability policy, and in all other respects shall be comparable to such existing coverage). If such prepaid “tail policy” has been obtained by the Company, it shall be deemed to satisfy all obligations to obtain insurance pursuant to this Section 6.5(d) and the Surviving Corporation shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause such policy to be maintained in full force and effect, for its full term, and to honor all of its obligations thereunder.

(e) In the event the Surviving Corporation or any of its successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then and in each such case, proper provision shall be made so that such continuing or surviving corporation or entity or transferee of such assets, as the case may be, shall assume all of the applicable obligations set forth in this Section 6.5.

(f) The Covered Persons (and their successors and heirs) are intended third party beneficiaries of this Section 6.5, and this Section 6.5 shall not be amended in a manner that is adverse to the Covered Persons (including their successors and heirs) or terminated without the consent of the Covered Persons (including their successors and heirs) affected thereby.

Section 6.6 State Takeover Laws. If any “control share acquisition,” “fair price” or other anti-takeover laws or regulations enacted under state or federal Laws becomes or is deemed to become applicable to the Company, the Merger or any other Transaction, then the Company Board of Directors shall use its reasonable best efforts to render such statute (or the relevant provisions thereof) inapplicable to the foregoing.

Section 6.7 Obligations of Purchaser. Parent shall take all action necessary to cause Purchaser and the Surviving Corporation to perform their respective obligations under this Agreement and to consummate the Transactions, including the Merger and the Transactions, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement.

Section 6.12 SEC Filings. The Company shall make available to Parent prior to filing with the SEC all financial results filed with the SEC after the date of this Agreement.

Section 6.13 Credit Agreement Amendment. The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide, and shall cause the Company Subsidiaries and their respective Representatives to provide, such cooperation in connection with any proposed amendments or modifications to the Company’s credit facility as may be reasonably requested by Parent.

Section 6.14 FIRPTA Certificate. It shall be a condition to the consummation of the Merger that the Company shall have delivered to Parent a certificate substantially in the form provided by, and in accordance with, Treasury Regulation sections 1.1445-2(c)(3) and 1.897-2(h), such form to be reasonably satisfactory to Parent, certifying that the Shares do not constitute “United States real property interests” within the meaning of Section 897(c)(1) of the Code and the regulations thereunder, establishing that no withholding is required with respect to payments in connection with the Transactions (a “FIRPTA Certificate”). Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if Parent does not receive a FIRPTA Certificate prior to the consummation of each of the Offer and the Merger, Parent may waive the conditions set forth in this Section 6.14, and withhold, or cause to be withheld, from any amounts payable or otherwise deliverable in connection with the Transactions in accordance with the requirements of section 1445 of the Code.

(ii) by either Parent or the Company, if there has been a breach or failure to perform by the other party of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement set forth in this Agreement, which breach or failure to perform (A) in the case of a breach by the Company shall result in a condition in Section 7.2(a), Section 7.2(b) or Section 7.2(c) not being satisfied and (B) in the case of a breach by Parent or Purchaser, shall result in a condition in Section 7.3(a), or Section 7.3(b) not being satisfied (and in each case such breach is not curable, or if curable, has not been cured within twenty (20) business days after the receipt of notice thereof by the defaulting party from the non-defaulting party); provided, however, this Agreement may not be terminated pursuant to this Section 8.1(a)(ii) by any party if such party is then in material breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement set forth in this Agreement;

Section 8.2 Effect of Termination.

(a) In the event of the termination of this Agreement as provided in Section 8.1, written notice thereof shall forthwith be given to the other party or parties specifying the provision hereof pursuant to which such termination is made, and this Agreement shall forthwith become null and void and there shall be no liability on the part of Parent, Purchaser or the Company, except that the Confidentiality Agreement, Section 6.4, Section 8.2 and Section 9.3 through Section 9.14 shall survive such termination; provided, however, that subject to Section 8.2(c) and Section 9.14, nothing herein shall relieve any party hereto from liability for a material breach of its covenants or agreements set forth in this Agreement or fraud by such breaching party prior to such termination (which the parties acknowledge and agree shall not be limited to reimbursement of expenses or out-of–pocket costs, and may include the benefit of the bargain lost by a party or its stockholders (taking into consideration relevant matters, including the total amount payable to such party or its stockholders under this Agreement and the time value of money), which shall be deemed in such event to be damages of the such party).

(b) Termination Fee, Expenses.

(i) If (A) a Competing Proposal shall have been publicly announced after the date hereof and not withdrawn prior to the Special Meeting or prior to the termination of this Agreement if there has been no Special Meeting, (B) following the occurrence of a public announcement described in the preceding clause (A), this Agreement is terminated by Parent or the Company pursuant to Section 8.1(a)(iii) or Section 8.1(a)(vi), and (C) within twelve (12) months of the date this Agreement is terminated, the Company enters into a definitive agreement with respect to any Competing Proposal and thereafter such Competing Proposal is consummated (in each case whether or not the Competing Proposal was the same Competing Proposal referred to in clause (A));

(ii) If Parent terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(a)(iv) and Parent and Purchaser are not in breach of this Agreement at the time of such termination;

(iii) If the Company terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(a)(v);

31344360_15

- 46 -

then, in any such event under clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) of this Section 8.2(b), within five (5) business days after the date of termination of the Agreement or the consummation of the Competing Proposal, as applicable, the Company shall pay a fee of $1,500,000 in cash (the “Termination Fee”) and, following such termination upon the payment of the Termination Fee and Parent Expenses as provided in Section 8.2(b)(v), the Company shall have no further liability with respect to this Agreement or the Transactions to Parent or Purchaser, provided however, that, in the event of a termination pursuant to clause (i) of this Section 8.1(b), the Termination Fee payable to Parent shall be reduced by the amount of any Parent Expenses paid or payable to Parent pursuant to Section 8.1(b)(v) that are in excess of the Lower Cap.

(iv) For purposes of this Section 8.2(b), the term “Competing Proposal” used in Section 8.2(b)(i)(C) shall have the meaning assigned to such term in Section 9.5, except that the reference to “at least 20%” in the definition of “Competing Proposal” shall be deemed to be a reference to “at least 50%.”

(v) In the event that, (A) The Company shall terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(a)(v) or Section 8.1(a)(vi); or (B) Parent shall terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(a)(ii), Section 8.1(a)(iv) or Section 8.1(a)(vi) then in any such event the Company shall pay Parent or its designees, as promptly as possible (but in any event within five (5) business days) following the delivery by Parent of an invoice therefor, all reasonable out-of-pocket fees and expenses incurred by Parent, Purchaser and their respective Affiliates in connection with the Transactions, including, without limitation, an equity commitment fee in connection with the arrangement of the Equity Financing payable by Parent to AIP Capital Fund IV, L.P. in the amount of $450,000 (“Parent Expenses”), provided however, that, the Parent Expenses payable by the Company shall not exceed, (i) in the event that the Termination Fee is payable by the Company upon any such termination, an aggregate amount of $500,000 (the “Lower Cap”), and (ii) in the event the Termination Fee is not payable by the Company upon any such termination, an aggregate amount of $950,000. The expenses payable pursuant to this Section 8.2(b)(v) shall be paid in cash within ten business days after demand therefor following the occurrence of the termination event giving rise to the payment obligation described in this Section 8.2(b)(v).

(c) The Termination Fee and Parent Expenses shall be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by Parent. For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall the Company be obligated to pay any termination fee on more than one occasion. Each of the parties hereto acknowledges that the agreements contained in this Section 8.2 are an integral part of the Transactions and that the Termination Fee and Parent Expenses are not a penalty, but rather are liquidated damages in a reasonable amount that will compensate Parent and Purchaser, in the circumstances in which such Termination Fee or Parent Expenses is payable for the efforts and resources expended and opportunities foregone while negotiating this

- 47 -

Agreement and in reliance on this Agreement and on the expectation of the consummation of the Transactions, which amount would otherwise be impossible to calculate with precision. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Parent’s right to receive payment of the Termination Fee or Parent Expenses, as applicable, from the Company shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of Parent and Purchaser against the Company and its Subsidiaries and any of their respective former, current or future officers, directors, partners, stockholders, managers, members, affiliates or agents for the loss suffered as a result of the failure of the Merger to be consummated, and upon payment of such amount, none of the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective former, current or future officers, directors, partners, stockholders, managers, members, affiliates or agents shall have any further liability or obligation relating to or arising out of this Agreement, the Voting Agreements or the Transactions.

(a) constitute the entire agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede all other prior agreements (except that the Confidentiality Agreement shall be amended so that until the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 8.1 hereof, Parent and Purchaser shall be permitted to take the action contemplated by this Agreement) and understandings, both written and oral, among the parties or any of them with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof; and

Section 9.10 Severability.

Section 9.14 Enforcement; Remedies.

(a) The parties hereto 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. It is accordingly agreed that the parties hereto (on behalf of themselves and any third-party beneficiaries of this Agreement, including the stockholders of the Company) shall be entitled to seek an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement, and in the case of the Company, to prevent breaches of the Equity Commitment Letters and to seek to specifically enforce the terms hereof and thereof, and specific performance shall be the sole and exclusive remedy with respect to breaches by the Equity Provider under the Equity Commitment Letter or, subject to Section 9.14(b) below, by the Purchaser or Parent under this Agreement.

(b) The Company may not seek any award of damages under this Agreement except in the event that the Company has first sought specific performance in accordance with Section 9.14(a), and a court of competent jurisdiction has declined to specifically enforce the obligations of Parent or Purchaser to consummate the Merger or the obligations of the Equity Provider under the Equity Commitment Letter pursuant to a claim for specific performance brought against Parent or Purchaser in connection with this Agreement. In the event that (i) a court of competent jurisdiction has under such circumstances entered a judgment awarding damages against Parent or Purchaser at a time at or prior to the Outside Date and (ii) Parent or Purchaser have, within two (2) weeks following such court’s determination, irrevocably committed in writing to the Company to consummate the Merger in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement, then the Company may not seek to enforce any such award of damages granted by such court or accept damages for such alleged breach and the parties to this Agreement shall cooperate with one another to consummate the Merger as promptly as practicable after the giving of such irrevocable commitments.
