Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, at the Effective Time, all of the property, rights, privileges, immunities, powers and franchises of the Company and Merger Sub will vest in the Surviving Corporation, and all of the debts, liabilities and duties of the Company and Merger Sub will become the debts, liabilities and duties of the Surviving Corporation.

In addition, the Company and the Surviving Corporation will take all necessary action such that, at the Effective Time, the bylaws of the Surviving Corporation will be amended and restated so as to read in their entirety in the form set forth as Exhibit B hereto, until thereafter changed or amended as provided therein or by applicable Law.

(c) The directors of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time will, at the Effective Time, be the directors of the Surviving Corporation, each to serve thereafter in such capacity in accordance with the articles of incorporation and bylaws of the Surviving Corporation until his or her successor shall have been duly elected or appointed and qualified, or until his or her earlier death, resignation or removal in accordance with the articles of incorporation and bylaws of the Surviving Corporation and applicable Law. The officers of the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time will, at the Effective Time, be the officers of the Surviving Corporation, each to serve thereafter in such capacity in accordance with the articles of incorporation and bylaws of the Surviving Corporation until his or her successor shall have been duly elected or appointed and qualified, or until his or her earlier death, resignation or removal in accordance with the articles of incorporation and bylaws of the Surviving Corporation and applicable Law.

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

2.2 Closing and Effective Time of the Merger. The closing of the Merger (the “Closing”) will take place at 10:00 a.m., Eastern time, on a date to be specified by the parties (the “Closing Date”), such date to be no later than the third Business Day after the satisfaction or waiver of all of the conditions set forth in Article 7 (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the fulfillment or waiver of those conditions at the Closing), at the offices of Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison LLP, 1285 Avenue of the Americas, New York, New York unless another time, date or place is agreed to in writing by the parties hereto; provided, however, that the Company shall not require Parent to close the transactions contemplated hereby during the time that the lenders under the Commitment Letter are marketing the syndication process pursuant to the terms thereof, which shall not exceed the earlier of (i) twenty Business Days from the bank meeting to complete such syndication process and (ii) twenty Business Days following the satisfaction or waiver of all of the conditions set forth in Section 7.1 and 7.2 (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the fulfillment or waiver of those conditions at the Closing).

ARTICLE 3

CONVERSION OF SECURITIES IN THE MERGER

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

(a) Conversion of Company Common Stock. Each Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, other than Shares to be cancelled in accordance with Section 3.1(b), will be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration, payable to the holder in cash, without interest, upon surrender of the certificate formerly representing such Shares in accordance with Section 3.2. At the Effective Time, all of the Shares shall cease to be outstanding, shall be cancelled and shall cease to exist, and each Certificate (as defined below) that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented any of the Shares (other than Shares to be cancelled in accordance with Section 3.1(b)) shall thereafter represent only the right to receive the Merger Consideration, without interest.

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

(c) Merger Sub Common Stock. Each share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Merger Sub (the “Merger Sub Common Stock”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be converted into and become one newly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Surviving Corporation, and such shares shall constitute the only shares of capital stock of the Surviving Corporation outstanding at the Effective Time. From and after the Effective Time, all certificates representing Merger Sub Common Stock shall be deemed for all purposes to represent the number of shares of common stock of the Surviving Corporation into which they were converted in accordance with the preceding sentence.

3.2 Payment for Securities; Surrender of Certificates.

(a) Paying Agent. At or prior to the Effective Time, Parent will designate a reputable bank or trust company, mutually agreeable to both Parent and the Company, to act as the paying agent for purposes of effecting the payment of the Merger Consideration in connection with the Merger (the “Paying Agent”). At or promptly after the Effective Time, Parent or Merger Sub will deposit, or cause to be deposited, with the Paying Agent the aggregate Merger Consideration to which holders of Shares will be entitled at the Effective Time pursuant to this Agreement, together with the aggregate Option Payments (except to the extent that Parent determines to make any such Option Payments to employees through the payroll of the Surviving Corporation). Such funds will be invested by the Paying Agent as directed by Parent, in its sole discretion, pending payment thereof by the Paying Agent to the holders of the Shares. Earnings from such investments will be the sole and exclusive property of Parent, and no part of such earnings will accrue to the benefit of holders of Shares.

(b) Procedures for Surrender. As promptly as practicable after the Effective Time, Parent will cause the Paying Agent to mail to each holder of record of a certificate or certificates that represented Shares (the “Certificates”) or non-certificated Shares represented by book entry (“Book-Entry Shares”), in each case, which Shares were converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration at the Effective Time pursuant to this Agreement: (i) a letter of transmittal, which will specify that delivery will be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates will pass, only upon delivery of the Certificates to the Paying Agent, and will otherwise be in such form and have such other provisions as Parent or the Paying Agent may reasonably specify and (ii) instructions for effecting the surrender of the Certificates or Book-Entry Shares in exchange for payment of the Merger Consideration. Upon surrender of Certificates and Book-Entry Shares for cancellation to the Paying Agent or to such other agent or agents as may be appointed by Parent, and upon delivery of a letter of transmittal, duly executed and in proper form, with respect to such Certificates or Book-Entry Shares, the holder of such Certificates or Book-Entry Shares will be entitled to receive the Merger Consideration for each Share formerly represented by such Certificates and for each Book-Entry Share. Any Certificates and Book-Entry Shares so surrendered will forthwith be cancelled. All cash paid upon the surrender for exchange of Certificates and Book-Entry Shares will be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to Shares formerly represented by such Certificates or Book-Entry Shares. If payment of the Merger Consideration is to be made to a Person other than the Person in whose name any surrendered Certificate is registered, it will be a condition precedent of payment that the Certificate so surrendered will be properly endorsed or will be otherwise in proper form for transfer, and the Person requesting such payment will have paid any transfer or similar Taxes required by reason of the payment of the Merger Consideration to a Person other than the registered holder of the Certificate so surrendered or will have established to the satisfaction of the Paying Agent that such Taxes either have been paid or are not payable. Any other transfer or similar Taxes incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement will be paid by the Person required to make such payment by applicable Law. Payment of the Merger Consideration with respect to Book-Entry Shares will only be made to the Person in whose name such Book-Entry Shares are registered. Until surrendered as contemplated hereby, each Certificate or Book-Entry Share will 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 Agreement, without any interest accruing thereon.

(c) Transfer Books; No Further Ownership Rights in Shares. At the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of the Company will be closed and thereafter there will be no further registration of transfers of Shares on the records of the Company. From and after the Effective Time, the holders of Certificates and Book-Entry Shares outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will cease to have any rights with respect to such Shares except as otherwise provided for herein or by applicable Law. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates are presented to the Surviving Corporation for any reason, then (subject to compliance with the exchange procedures of Section 3.2(b)) they will be cancelled and exchanged as provided in this Agreement.

(d) Termination of Fund; Abandoned Property; No Liability. At any time following the six-month anniversary of the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation will be entitled to require the Paying Agent to deliver to it any funds (including any interest accrued with respect thereto) made available to the Paying Agent and not disbursed to holders of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares, and thereafter such holders will be entitled to look only to the Surviving Corporation (subject to abandoned property, escheat or other similar Laws) only as general creditors thereof with respect to the Merger Consideration payable upon due surrender of their Certificates or Book-Entry Shares and compliance with the procedures in Section 3.2(b), without interest. If, immediately prior to the second anniversary of the Effective Time (or otherwise immediately prior to such time on which any payment in respect hereof would escheat to or become the property of any Governmental Entity pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Laws), any holder of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares has not complied with the procedures in Section 3.2(b) to receive payment of the Merger Consideration to which such holder would otherwise be entitled, the payment in respect of such Certificates or Book-Entry Shares will, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, become the property of the Surviving Corporation, free and clear of all claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Surviving Corporation nor the Paying Agent will be liable to any holder of a Certificate or Book-Entry Shares for Merger Consideration delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law.

(e) Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. In the event that any Certificates have been lost, stolen or destroyed, the Paying Agent will 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 3.1(a) 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, Merger Sub, the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent with respect to the Certificates alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.

(f) Withholding Rights. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, each of Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder of Shares such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code or any other applicable state, local or foreign Tax Law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld by the Surviving Corporation or Parent, as the case may be, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of Shares in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made by the Surviving Corporation or Parent, as the case may be.

3.3 Treatment of Company Options; Stock Plans.

(a) Treatment of Company Options. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company Board (or, if appropriate, any committee thereof) will adopt resolutions and take all other actions necessary and appropriate to provide that, immediately prior to the Effective Time, each unexpired and unexercised option to purchase Shares (the “Company Options”), under any stock option plan of the Company or any other plan, agreement or arrangement (the “Company Stock Option Plans”), whether or not then exercisable or vested, will be cancelled and, in exchange therefor, each former holder of any such cancelled Company Option will only be entitled to receive, in consideration of the cancellation of such Company Option and in full settlement therefor, 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 of such cancelled Company Option, less applicable withholding taxes (such amounts payable hereunder being referred to as the “Option Payments”). From and after the Effective Time, any such cancelled Company Option will be void and of no further force or effect and no longer be exercisable by the former holder thereof, and such holder shall only be entitled to the payment of the Option Payment.

(b) Termination of Company Stock Option Plans. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company Board (or, if appropriate, any committee thereof) will adopt resolutions and take all other actions necessary and appropriate to provide that, immediately prior to the Effective Time, all Company Stock Option Plans will be terminated and no further Company Options or other rights with respect to Shares will be granted thereunder.

(c) Corporate Actions. At or prior to the Effective Time, the Company, the Company Board and the compensation committee of the Company Board, as applicable, shall adopt any resolutions and take any actions which are necessary to effectuate the provisions of this Section 3.3. The Company shall take all actions necessary to ensure that from and after the Effective Time neither Parent nor the Surviving Corporation will be required to deliver to any Person any Shares or other Equity Interests of the Company, the Surviving Corporation or any other Person pursuant to or in settlement of Company Options or other rights with respect to Shares.

Section 4.17(a) (i)-(iv) of the Company Disclosure Letter sets forth with respect to the Intellectual Property Rights registered or applied for in the name of, or otherwise owned or purported to be owned by, the Company (“Registered Intellectual Property”, and together with other Intellectual Property Rights owned or purported to be owned by the Company, the “Owned Intellectual Property”): (i) for each patent and patent application, the patent number or application serial number for each jurisdiction in which the patent or application has been filed, the respective jurisdiction where filed, the date filed or issued, and the present status thereof; (ii) for each trademark, trade name or service mark that is registered, for which a pending application for registration has been filed, the application serial number or registration number, the jurisdiction where filed, the date filed or granted, and the classes of goods and/or services covered, in each case, if applicable; (iii) for any URL or Internet domain name, the registration date, any renewal date and name of the Internet domain name registrar; and (iv) for each copyrighted work for which a registration has been filed, the registration number, date of registration and the jurisdiction in which the copyright has been filed. All Intellectual Property Rights issued or registered to the Company are subsisting, valid and enforceable. Section 4.17(a)(x)-(y) of the Company Disclosure Letter lists (x) all licenses to Intellectual Property Rights granted to the Company and applicable to the Company Products and the Business (“Licensed Intellectual Property”), other than standard, unmodified, off-the-shelf Software commercially available on standard terms from third-party vendors (e.g., Microsoft Windows) and (y) all material unregistered Intellectual Property Rights.

(b) Sufficiency. The Company owns or has valid and sufficient rights to all Intellectual Property Rights and to use Technology that are used in the Business and that claim or cover the Company Products, or that are incorporated in or necessary for the design, manufacture, use, distribution or sale of the Company Products as currently marketed (collectively referred to herein as the “Material Intellectual Property”). To the Knowledge of the Company, the Material Intellectual Property (other than standard, unmodified, off-the-shelf Software commercially available on standard terms from third-party vendors (e.g., Microsoft Windows)) constitutes all Intellectual Property Rights and Technology necessary for the conduct of the Business as presently conducted, including for the design, manufacture, use, distribution and sale of the Company Products.

(c) Ownership. The Company exclusively owns the Owned Intellectual Property, free and clear of Liens (other than Permitted Liens). The Company’s rights in and to the Owned Intellectual Property will not be impaired or cease to be valid and enforceable, and no license to Licensed Intellectual Property will terminate or expire, or be modified adversely to the Company, in each case by reason of the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby. Upon the Closing, the Company will continue to have the right to use all Licensed Intellectual Property on identical terms and conditions as the Company and the Company Subsidiaries enjoyed immediately prior to the Closing. All of the Company’s current and former employees, officers, contractors and consultants have executed valid and enforceable Intellectual Property Rights assignment and confidentiality agreements for the benefit of the Company.

(d) Absence of Claims; Non-infringement. Neither the conduct of the Business nor the design, manufacture, use, distribution or sale of the Company Products by the Company infringes, misappropriates or otherwise violates the Intellectual Property Rights of any other Person. No Proceedings have been instituted in the last three years or are pending, or to the Knowledge of the Company are threatened against, the Company, that challenge the Company’s ownership of Owned Intellectual Property or right to use the Licensed Intellectual Property. No interference, opposition, reissue, reexamination, or other similar proceeding is or has been pending or, to the Knowledge of the Company, threatened, in which the scope, validity, or enforceability of any of the Owned Intellectual Property is being or has been, contested or challenged. Since January 1, 2007, the Company has not received any notice alleging the invalidity or unenforceability of the Owned Intellectual Property (excluding, for clarity, all correspondence with patent, trademark and copyright authorities with respect to ordinary course prosecution activities), or any infringement or misappropriation of any other Person’s Intellectual Property Rights by the Company. Since January 1, 2007, no Person has notified the Company that it is claiming any ownership of or right to use any Owned Intellectual Property. The Owned Intellectual Property is not subject to any outstanding Order of an arbitrator or court or other Governmental Entity affecting adversely the rights of the Company with respect thereto (excluding communications and decisions made in the ordinary course of patent, trademark and copyright prosecution). To the Knowledge of the Company, no Person has infringed upon, misappropriated or otherwise violated any rights in or to any of the Owned Intellectual Property, or is currently doing so.

(e) Licenses to Third Parties. Section 4.17(e) of the Company Disclosure Letter lists all Contracts pursuant to which any Person has been granted any license under, or otherwise has received or acquired any right to use (whether or not currently exercisable), the Owned Intellectual Property. The Company is not bound by, and no Owned Intellectual Property is subject to, any Contract containing any covenant or other provision that in any way limits or restricts the ability of the Company to use, exploit, assert, or enforce any of the Owned Intellectual Property anywhere in the world.

(f) Protection of Intellectual Property Rights. All of the registrations and pending applications with or to governmental or regulatory bodies with respect to the Owned Intellectual Property have been timely and duly filed, and prosecution of such applications has been diligently conducted, except in each case as the Company has elected in its reasonable business judgment to abandon or permit to lapse a registration or application, and as has not had and would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Company Material Adverse Effect. The Company has taken all reasonably necessary steps (including, entering into written confidentiality and nondisclosure agreements with officers, directors, subcontractors, employees, licensees and customers in connection with its assets or the Business) to safeguard and maintain the secrecy and confidentiality of Trade Secrets that are material to the Business.

(g) Software. The Company maintains and uses reasonable efforts to enforce policies and procedures regarding data security, privacy, data transfer and the use of data that enable the Company to comply with all applicable Laws, except where the failure to maintain and be in compliance with such policies would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Company Material Adverse Effect. The Company has used commercially reasonable efforts to prevent the introduction into any Software owned by the Company, or into any computer system or network owned or controlled by the Company, and to the Company’s Knowledge such Software, systems and networks do not contain, any “back door,” “drop dead device,” “time bomb,” “Trojan horse,” “virus,” or “worm” (as such terms are commonly understood in the software industry) or any other code designed or intended to have any of the following functions: disrupting or disabling, the operation of, or providing unauthorized access to, a computer system or network or other device on which such code is stored or installed. To the Knowledge of the Company, since January 1, 2010, no Person has gained unauthorized access to any of the computer systems, networks or data used by the Company that would compromise to any material degree the value or confidentiality of such computer systems, networks or data or that would necessitate that the Company notify a third Person of such unauthorized access.

(h) Personal Data. The Company has a privacy policy (the “Privacy Policy”) regarding the collection and use of Personal Data by the Company, a correct and complete copy of which has been provided to Parent prior to the date hereof. The Company is in material compliance with all applicable Laws regarding the collection, use, transmission, storage and protection of Personal Data collected or used by the Company and used in connection with the applicable Privacy Policy, and no Person has gained unauthorized access to or made any unauthorized use of any such Personal Data. The Company has adequate security measures in place to protect Personal Data collected or used by the Company that is stored in its computer systems from unlawful use by any third party or any other use by a third party that would violate the Privacy Policy. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, the consummation of Merger and the transactions contemplated hereby do not violate any Privacy Policy as it currently exists or as it existed at any time during which any Personal Data was collected or obtained by the Company. Upon the Closing, the Company will own all such Personal Data and continue to have the right to use such Personal Data on identical terms and conditions as the Company enjoyed immediately prior to the Closing. No actions are pending or, to the Knowledge of the Company, threatened against the Company relating to the collection or use of Personal Data.

4.18 Tax Matters.

(a) Tax Returns. The Company has timely filed (taking into account any extension of time within which to file) all material Tax Returns required to have been filed by or with respect to the Company, and all such Tax Returns are true, complete and accurate in all material respects. The Company has made available to Parent true and correct copies of the United States federal income Tax Returns filed by the Company for each of the three prior fiscal years. No written claim by a Governmental Entity in a jurisdiction where the Company does not file Tax Returns that the Company is or may be subject to material Taxes in such jurisdiction has been received by the Company in the past three years.

(b) Payment of Taxes. All material Taxes of the Company due and payable have been timely paid except for those Taxes that are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and for which reserves have been established in accordance with GAAP.

(d) Tax Liens. There are no material Liens for Taxes upon the assets, properties or rights of the Company that are not provided for in the Company SEC Documents, except Permitted Liens for Taxes, which if determined adversely to the Company, would not individually or in the aggregate have a Material Adverse Effect.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 6.3(a), if prior to the time at which the Company Stockholder Approval is obtained (the “Subsequent Time”), (i) the Company has received a bona fide written Acquisition Proposal from a third party, (ii) such Acquisition Proposal was not solicited, initiated, encouraged or facilitated in material breach of the provisions of this Agreement, (iii) the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisors and outside counsel, that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes or is reasonably likely to lead to a Superior Proposal and (iv) after consultation with its outside counsel, the Company Board determines in good faith that the failure to take such actions would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties to the stockholders of the Company under applicable Law, then prior to but not after the Subsequent Time, the Company may take the following actions: (A) furnish information with respect to the Company to the Person making such Acquisition Proposal and/or (B) participate in discussions or negotiations with the Person making such Acquisition Proposal regarding such Acquisition Proposal; provided, that the Company (x) will not, and will not allow any Company Representative to, take any action contemplated by the foregoing clauses (A) or (B) without first entering into an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement and (y) will promptly provide to Parent any information concerning the Company provided to such other Person that was not previously provided to Parent or the Parent Representatives.

(d) Subject to Section 6.3(e), neither the Company Board nor any committee thereof will (i) withhold, withdraw or qualify (or modify in a manner adverse to Parent) (or publicly propose to withhold, withdraw, qualify or so modify) the approval, recommendation or declaration of advisability by the Company Board or any such committee of this Agreement, the Merger or any of the other transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) adopt, approve, recommend, or otherwise declare advisable (or publicly propose to adopt, approve, recommend or otherwise declare advisable) the adoption of any Acquisition Proposal, (iii) submit any Acquisition Proposal or any matter related thereto to the vote of the stockholders of the Company, or (iv) authorize, commit, resolve or agree to take any such actions (each such action set forth in clauses (i) through (iv) being referred to as a “Change of Board Recommendation”).

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article 6, if (i) the Company has received a bona fide written Acquisition Proposal from a third party that was not solicited, initiated, encouraged or facilitated in material breach of the provisions of this Agreement and that the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with outside counsel and its financial advisors, constitutes a Superior Proposal, after giving effect to all of the adjustments to the terms and conditions of this Agreement that have been delivered to the Company by Parent in writing during the Notice Period provided pursuant to this Section 6.3(e), that are binding and have been irrevocably committed to by Parent in writing, then the Company Board may, at any time prior to but not after the Subsequent Time, take the following actions: (y) effect a Change of Board Recommendation with respect to such Superior Proposal and (z) terminate this Agreement to enter into an Alternative Acquisition Agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal; provided, however, that the Company may not terminate this Agreement pursuant to the foregoing clause (z), and any purported termination pursuant to the foregoing clause (z) will be void and of no force or effect, unless in advance of or concurrently with such termination the Company pays the Breakup Fee in accordance with Section 8.2(b); and provided, further, that the Company Board may not effect a Change of Board Recommendation pursuant to the foregoing clause (y) or terminate this Agreement pursuant to the foregoing clause (z) unless:

(i) the Company has, prior to the Subsequent Time, provided prior written notice to Parent, at least five Business Days in advance (the “Notice Period”), of the Company’s intention to take such action with respect to such Superior Proposal (it being understood that the delivery of such notice and any amendment or update thereto and the determination to so deliver such notice, update or amendment will not, by itself, constitute a Change of Board Recommendation), which notice will specify the material terms and conditions of such Superior Proposal, (including the identity of the party making such Superior Proposal) and the Company has contemporaneously provided a copy of the relevant proposed transaction agreements with the party making such Superior Proposal, including any definitive agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal; and

(ii) prior to effecting such Change of Board Recommendation or terminating this Agreement to enter into an Alternative Acquisition Agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal, the Company negotiates, and causes the Company Representatives to negotiate, with Parent in good faith (to the extent Parent desires to negotiate) to make such adjustments in the terms and conditions of this Agreement so that such Acquisition Proposal ceases to constitute a Superior Proposal; and

(iii) after the expiration of the Notice Period, the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisors and its outside counsel, and after taking into account any amendments to this Agreement that Parent and Merger Sub have irrevocably agreed in writing to make, that (x) such Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal and (y) making a Change of Board Recommendation and causing the Company to enter into such Alternative Acquisition Agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal is necessary in order for the members of the Company Board to comply with their fiduciary duties under applicable Law.

In the event of any material revisions to the financial or other material terms of such Acquisition Proposal, the Company will be required to deliver, prior to the Subsequent Time, a new written notice to Parent and to comply with the requirements of this Section 6.3(e) with respect to such Acquisition Proposal (provided that the Notice Period for any such subsequent notice shall be three Business Days).

(f) Nothing contained in this Agreement shall prohibit the Company (i) from taking and disclosing to the stockholders of the Company a position contemplated by Rule 14e–2(a) promulgated under the Exchange Act or complying with the provisions of Rule 14d–9 promulgated under the Exchange Act or (ii) making any disclosure to the stockholders of the Company that the Company Board determines to make in good faith (after consultation with its outside counsel) in order to fulfill its fiduciary duties under, or in order to otherwise comply with, applicable Law, in each case, so long as (A) any such disclosure includes the Company Board Recommendation, without any modification or qualification thereof and (B) does not contain either an express Change of Board Recommendation or any other statements by or on behalf of the Company Board as would reasonably be expected to have the same effect as a Change of Board Recommendation.

6.4 Company Proxy Statement; Company Stockholder Meeting.

(a) As promptly as practicable following the date of this Agreement, the Company shall prepare a draft of the Company Proxy Statement. The Company shall provide Parent with a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such draft.

Prior to responding to any such comments or requests or the filing or mailing of the Company Proxy Statement, the Company (x) shall provide Parent with a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on any drafts of the Company Proxy Statement and related correspondence and filings and (y) shall include in such drafts, correspondence and filings all comments reasonably proposed by Parent.

(c) The Company Proxy Statement shall include the Company Board Recommendation unless the Company Board has withdrawn, modified or amended the Company Board Recommendation in accordance with Section 6.3.

(d) The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to solicit or cause to be solicited from its stockholders proxies in favor of the adoption of this Agreement at the Company Stockholders Meeting and to obtain the Required Vote.

(f) Parent shall use reasonable best efforts so that the information provided by Parent relating to Parent, Merger Sub or any Subsidiary of Parent expressly for inclusion in the Company Proxy Statement shall not, at the time the Company Proxy Statement is first mailed to the Company’s stockholders and at the time of the Company Stockholder Meeting, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated in the Company Proxy Statement or necessary to make the statements in the Company Proxy Statement, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading. Any such information that is to be so provided or so confirmed shall be specifically identified and agreed upon in writing, in advance, by the Company and Parent.

(g) The Company shall take all necessary actions duly to call, give notice of, convene and hold the Company Stockholders Meeting as promptly as practicable following the date of this Agreement for the sole purpose of voting on adoption and approval of this Agreement and the Merger.

(e) Nothing contained in this Section 6.5 will require, or be construed to require, Parent or any of its Affiliates to proffer to, or agree to, sell, divest, lease, license, transfer, dispose of or otherwise encumber or hold separate, before or after the Effective Time, any of the assets, licenses, operations, rights, products or businesses held by Parent, the Company or any of their respective Affiliates prior to the Effective Time, or any interest therein, or to agree to any material change (including through a licensing arrangement) or restriction on, or other impairment of Parent’s or any of its Affiliates’ ability to own, manage or operate, any such assets, licenses, operations, rights, products or businesses, or any interest therein, or Parent’s ability to vote, transfer, receive dividends or otherwise exercise full ownership rights with respect to the stock of the Surviving Corporation (any of the actions referred to in this Section 6.5(e), a “Non-Required Remedy”).

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, nothing contained in this Agreement will 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 will exercise, consistent with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, complete control and supervision over its operations.

6.6 Public Announcements. The Company, Parent and Merger Sub agree that the initial joint press release and other announcements concerning the execution and delivery of this Agreement will be substantially in the form provided to each other prior to the date hereof (with such changes as the parties may mutually agree). Each of the Company, Parent and Merger Sub agrees that no subsequent public release or announcement concerning the transactions contemplated hereby will be issued by any party without the prior written consent of the Company and Parent (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), except as such release or announcement may be required by applicable Law or the rules or regulations of any applicable United States securities exchange or regulatory or governmental body to which the relevant party or its Affiliates is subject, in which case the party required to make the release or announcement will use its reasonable best efforts to allow each other party reasonable time to comment on such release or announcement in advance of such issuance.

6.7 Employee Benefit Matters.

(a) For a period of twelve months following the Effective Time, Parent will provide, or will cause to be provided, to those employees of the Company who are not represented by a union and who continue to be employed by Parent and Parent Subsidiaries (individually, “Company Employee” and collectively, “Company Employees”) annual base salary or base wages that are substantially comparable to the annual base salary or base wages provided to similarly situated Parent employees. For a period of twelve months after the Effective Time, Parent will provide health and welfare benefits to Company Employees who work 40 hours per week or more that are substantially comparable to those provided to similarly situated Parent employees; provided, that Parent may elect to continue Company Employees who work 40 hours per week or more in their existing Company Benefit Plans for a transition period.

(b) For purposes of vesting, eligibility to participate and levels of benefits (but not benefit accrual under any defined benefit plan or frozen benefit plan of Parent or vesting under any equity incentive plan) under the 401(k) plan, severance pay plan, vacation plan, short term disability plan, active employee medical, dental, vision and prescription drug plan, active employee life insurance plan and service award of Parent and the Parent Subsidiaries in which Company Employees first become eligible to participate after the Effective Time (the “New Plans”), Parent shall, except as may be restricted by the insurance carriers of any such New Plan, credit each Company Employee with his or her years of service with the Company before the Effective Time, to the same extent as such Company Employee was entitled, before the Effective Time, to credit for such service under any similar Company Benefit Plan in which such Company Employee participated or was eligible to participate immediately prior to the Effective Time; provided that the foregoing will not apply for purposes of qualifying for subsidized early retirement benefits, retiree medical benefits or life benefits, or to the extent that its application would result in a duplication of benefits with respect to the same period of service. In addition, Parent will cause (i) each Company Employee to be immediately eligible to participate, without any waiting time, in any and all New Plans and (ii) for purposes of each New Plan providing medical, dental, pharmaceutical and/or vision benefits to any Company Employee, all pre-existing condition exclusions and actively-at-work requirements of such New Plan to be waived for such Company Employee and his or her covered dependents, to the extent such conditions were inapplicable or waived under the comparable Company Benefit Plans in which such Company Employee participated immediately prior to the Effective Time, except as may be restricted by the insurance carriers of any such New Plan.

(c) From and after the date of this Agreement until the Effective Time, prior to making any written or formal oral communications to Service Providers pertaining to compensation or benefit matters that are affected by the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, each party will provide the other party hereto with a copy of the intended communication, the other party hereto shall have a reasonable period of time to review and comment on the communication, and Parent and the Company shall cooperate in providing any such mutually agreeable communication; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not apply to any individualized communications between Parent and a Company Employee regarding such Company Employee’s service after the Closing or any individualized negotiations regarding offers of employment by Parent to such Company Employee for post-Closing service. Between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time, the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to assist Parent in entering into Parent’s standard documents relating to compensation and benefits in respect of periods after the Effective Time with each of the Company Employees.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or otherwise, neither Parent nor any of its Affiliates shall have any obligation to provide to Company Employees (i) a defined benefit pension plan (or benefits), (ii) post-retirement health, welfare or life insurance benefits, (iii) retention or change of control bonus plans or (iv) equity-based compensation, and such items shall not be required to be taken into account for purposes of determining the comparability of compensation provided to Company Employees as of immediately prior to the Effective Time; provided, however, that Parent shall cause the Company and the Surviving Corporation to honor any employment and welfare benefits Contracts in place at the time of execution of this Agreement and at the Effective Time and that are set forth on Section 6.7(d) of the Company Disclosure Letter.

(e) Nothing in this Agreement will require the continued employment of any Person, and except as expressly set forth in this Section 6.7 and as set forth on Section 6.7(e) of the Company Disclosure Letter, no provision of this Agreement will prevent Parent or the Surviving Corporation from amending or terminating any Company Benefit Plan or benefit plans of any Parent or Parent Subsidiaries.

(f) The Company and Parent acknowledge and agree that all provisions contained in this Section 6.7 with respect to employees are included for the sole benefit of the respective parties and will not create any right in any other Person, including any current or former Service Providers, any participant in any Company Benefit Plan or any beneficiary thereof, nor will require the Company to continue or amend any particular benefit plan after the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement for any employee or former employee of the Company, and any such plan may be amended or terminated in accordance with its terms and Applicable Law.

6.8 Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

(a) For a period of six years from and after the Effective Time, Parent and the Surviving Corporation will indemnify and hold harmless all past and present directors and officers of the Company to the same extent such Persons are indemnified as of the date of this Agreement by the Company pursuant to applicable Law, the Company Articles, the Company Bylaws and indemnification agreements (the “Indemnity Provisions”) in existence on the date of this Agreement with any past and present directors and officers of the Company arising out of acts or omissions in their capacity as directors or officers of the Company or any Company Subsidiary occurring at or prior to the Effective Time. Parent and the Surviving Corporation will advance expenses (including reasonable legal fees and expenses) incurred in the defense of any Proceedings with respect to the matters subject to indemnification pursuant to this Section 6.8(a) in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Indemnity Provisions in existence on the date of this Agreement.

(b) For a period of six years from and after the Effective Time, to the extent consistent with applicable Law, Parent will cause the articles of incorporation and bylaws of the Surviving Corporation to contain provisions no less favorable with respect to exculpation and indemnification of past and present directors and officers of the Company for periods at or prior to the Effective Time than are currently set forth in the Company Articles and Company Bylaws. Parent will cause the indemnification agreements in existence on the date of this Agreement with any of the past and present directors, officers or employees of the Company to continue in full force and effect in accordance with their terms following the Effective Time.

(c) For six years from and after the Effective Time, Parent will cause the Surviving Corporation to maintain for the benefit of the Company’s directors and officers, as of the date of this Agreement and as of the Effective Time, an insurance and indemnification policy that provides coverage for events occurring prior to the Effective Time (the “D&O Insurance”) that is substantially equivalent to and in any event not less favorable in the aggregate than the Company’s existing policy (accurate and complete copies which have been previously provided to Parent) or, if substantially equivalent insurance coverage is unavailable, the best available coverage; provided, however, that the Surviving Corporation will not be required to pay a premium for the D&O Insurance in excess of 300% of the last annual premium paid prior to the date of this Agreement. The provisions of the immediately preceding sentence will be deemed to have been satisfied if prepaid policies have been obtained prior to the Effective Time, which policies provide such directors and officers with coverage for an aggregate period of six years with respect to claims arising from facts or events that occurred on or before the Effective Time, including in respect of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. If such prepaid policies have been obtained prior to the Effective Time, Parent will cause the Surviving Corporation to maintain such policies in full force and effect, and continue to honor the obligations thereunder. If the Company elects to purchase such prepaid policies prior to the Effective Time, the Company (i) will not purchase policies with claims limits in excess of the Company’s current policies or expend in connection therewith an amount in excess of 300% of the last annual premium paid prior to the date of this Agreement, and (ii) will consult and reasonably coordinate with Parent in connection with such purchase.

(d) In the event Parent or the Surviving Corporation (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and will not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then proper provision will be made so that such continuing or surviving corporation or entity or transferee of such assets, as the case may be, will assume the obligations set forth in this Section 6.8.

(e) The obligations under this Section 6.8 will (i) continue, notwithstanding any six year limitation referred to above, until the final disposition of any action, suit, proceeding or investigation brought or commenced during such six year period and (ii) not be terminated or modified in such a manner as to adversely affect any indemnitee to whom this Section 6.8 applies without the consent of such affected indemnitee (it being expressly agreed that the indemnitees to whom this Section 6.8 applies will be third party beneficiaries of this Section 6.8).

6.9 Anti-takeover Laws. The Company and the Company Board shall take all actions as may be necessary to ensure that no Anti-takeover Law or similar Law is or becomes applicable to this Agreement, the Voting Agreements, the Merger or any of the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

6.10 Parent Agreement Concerning Merger Sub. Parent agrees to cause Merger Sub to comply with its obligations under this Agreement.

6.11 Section 16 Matters. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company Board, or an appropriate committee of non-employee directors thereof, will adopt a resolution consistent with the interpretive guidance of the SEC so that the disposition by any officer or director of the Company who is a covered Person of the Company for purposes of Section 16 of the Exchange Act (“Section 16”) of Shares or Company Options pursuant to this Agreement, and the Merger will be an exempt transaction for purposes of Section 16.

6.12 Stock Exchange Delisting; Deregistration.

6.14 FIRPTA Certificate. On or prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall deliver to Parent a certificate or certificates in compliance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.1445-2, certifying that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are exempt from withholding under Section 1445 of the Code.

6.15 Financing. Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to satisfy all conditions within the control of Parent that are required to obtain the financing under the Commitment Letter (the “Financing”) in a manner so as not to unreasonably delay the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby in accordance with the terms hereof; provided, that, in the event that such Financing is not obtained from the sources referred to in the Commitment Letter, Parent shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain financing from other sources (the “Alternative Financing”) as promptly as practicable (it being understood that Parent will not be required to accept financing that would be on economic terms (including restrictive covenants) that would be materially worse in the aggregate to Parent than the economic terms associated with the Financing). The Company shall, and shall cause the Company Representatives to, cooperate with Parent in order for Parent to obtain the Financing or Alternative Financing, as applicable, and the repayment of any indebtedness of the Company as may be reasonably requested by Parent, including (a) with reasonable notice from Parent, participating on a timely basis in meetings, presentations, road shows, drafting sessions, and due diligence sessions, (b) furnishing Parent and its financing sources with financial and other pertinent information regarding the Company as may be reasonably requested by Parent, including financial information contemplated by the Commitment Letter, (c) cooperating with the marketing efforts of Parent and its financing sources for any debt to be raised to complete the transactions contemplated hereby, (d) facilitating the pledging of collateral, (e) assisting Parent in procuring accountants’ comfort letters, officer’s certificates and other customary documentation generally required by debt financings of the types contemplated by the Commitment Letter, in each case as reasonably requested by Parent and (f) arranging for customary payoff letters, lien terminations and instruments of discharge to be delivered at Closing providing for the payoff, discharge and termination on the Closing Date of all indebtedness of the Company contemplated by Parent to be paid off, discharged and terminated on the Closing Date; provided, that: (w) such cooperation does not materially interfere with the daily operations of the Company; (x) Parent shall reimburse the Company for any and all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Company in connection therewith; (y) any pledge of collateral, guarantee, financial commitment or any other financial obligation requested of the Company by Parent in connection therewith shall be effective as and contingent upon the Closing; and (z) such cooperation would not otherwise result in a Company Material Adverse Effect.

6.16 Automatic Extension of Contract. The Co-Manufacturing Agreement is currently terminable on November 30, 2013 if either Parent or the Company gives notice of termination to the other on or before May 31, 2013. These dates shall be automatically extended for any time period after May 31, 2013 that this Agreement has not been terminated pursuant to Article 8 such that Parent and the Company shall each have thirty (30) days from the date of termination of this Agreement to provide notice to the other of termination of the Co-Manufacturing Agreement, in which case the date of termination of the Co-Manufacturing Agreement shall be the last day of the month that is six (6) months following the date of the termination notice.

6.17 Repayment of Revolving Credit Facility. Immediately prior to, or concurrently with, Closing, the Company shall use its cash on hand to repay the Revolving Credit Facility. To the extent that, at that time, the Company’s cash on hand is insufficient to repay the Revolving Credit Facility in full, Parent shall pay the shortfall so that, effective at the Closing, the Revolving Credit Facility shall have a zero balance and will be terminated.

(b) by either the Company or Parent, if any court of competent jurisdiction or other Governmental Entity has issued an Order or taken any other action permanently restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the consummation of the Merger or imposing a Non-Required Remedy, which Order or other action has become final and nonappealable (which Order the party seeking to terminate this Agreement has used commercially reasonable efforts to resist, resolve or lift, as applicable, subject to the provisions of Section 6.5);

(c) by either the Company or Parent, if this Agreement has been submitted to the stockholders of the Company for adoption at a duly convened Company Stockholders Meeting (or adjournment or postponement of the Company Stockholders Meeting) and the Required Vote is not obtained;

(g) by Parent, if: (i) there is an Uncured Inaccuracy in any representation or warranty of the Company contained in this Agreement or a breach of any covenant of the Company contained in this Agreement, in any case, such that any condition to the Merger in Section 7.2(a) or Section 7.2(b) is not satisfied, (ii) Parent has delivered to the Company written notice of such Uncured Inaccuracy or breach (a “Breach Notice”) and (iii) either such Uncured Inaccuracy or breach is not capable of cure or, if curable, has not been cured in all material respects prior to the earlier of (x) the Outside Date and (y) the thirtieth calendar day after delivery of such Breach Notice to the Company; provided, that Parent shall not be entitled to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1(g) if, at such time, there is an Uncured Inaccuracy in any representation or warranty of Parent or Merger Sub contained in this Agreement or a breach of any covenant of Parent or Merger Sub contained in this Agreement, in any case, which Uncured Inaccuracy or breach would result in the failure to satisfy any condition to the Merger contained in Section 7.3(a) or Section 7.3(b);

(h) by the Company, if: (i) there is an Uncured Inaccuracy in any representation or warranty of Parent or Merger Sub contained in this Agreement or breach of any covenant of Parent or Merger Sub contained in this Agreement such that any condition to the Merger in Section 7.3(a) or Section 7.3(b) is not satisfied, (ii) the Company has delivered to Parent written notice of such Uncured Inaccuracy or breach and (iii) either such Uncured Inaccuracy or breach is not capable of cure or, if curable, has not been cured in all material respects prior to the earlier of (x) the Outside Date and (y) the thirtieth calendar day after delivery of such written notice to Parent; provided, that the Company shall not be entitled to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1(h) if, at such time, there is an Uncured Inaccuracy in any representation or warranty of the Company contained in this Agreement or a breach of any covenant of the Company contained in this Agreement, in any case, which Uncured Inaccuracy or breach would result in the failure to satisfy any condition to the Merger contained in Section 7.2(a) or Section 7.2(b); or

(i) by the Company if (i) all of the conditions to Closing set forth in Section 7.1 and Section 7.2 have been satisfied or waived as of such date of termination (or, with respect to conditions capable of being satisfied only at Closing, upon an immediate Closing, would be satisfied as of such Closing), (ii) the Company is ready, willing and able to effect the Closing in accordance with the terms hereof and (iii) Parent and Merger Sub have breached their obligation to consummate the Merger in accordance with this Agreement and remain in breach five Business Days following written demand by the Company.

8.2 Effect of Termination.

(a) In the event of termination of this Agreement by either the Company or Parent as provided in Section 8.1, this Agreement will forthwith become void and of no effect, and there will be no liability or obligation on the part of Parent, Merger Sub or the Company or their respective Subsidiaries, officers or directors except with respect to this Section 8.2 and Article 9, subject to the limitations in Section 8.3.

(b) In the event that this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 8.1(d) or Section 8.1(e), then the Company will pay to Parent concurrent with such termination, in the case of a termination by the Company, or within two Business Days thereafter, in the case of a termination by Parent (A) a termination fee of $2,426,450.00 (the “Breakup Fee”) plus (B) the Expense Reimbursement Amount.

(c) In the event that this Agreement is terminated pursuant to (i) Section 8.1(c), (ii) Section 8.1(g) or (iii) Section 8.1(f) in circumstances where Parent would have had the right to terminate pursuant to Section 8.1(g) but for such termination pursuant to Section 8.1(f), then, in any such case, not later than three Business Days following the date of such termination, the Company will pay to Parent the Expense Reimbursement Amount.

(d) In the event that this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 8.1(c), Section 8.1(f) or Section 8.1(g), and prior to the date of termination of this Agreement an Acquisition Proposal shall have been made known to the Company Board and is not definitively withdrawn prior to the tenth calendar day prior to the date of termination (with respect to any termination pursuant to Section 8.1(c) or Section 8.1(f)) or the fifth calendar day prior to the delivery of the applicable Breach Notice (with respect to any termination pursuant to Section 8.1(g)), and on or prior to the 18-month anniversary of the termination of this Agreement, (x) the Company enters into a definitive written agreement providing for the consummation of any Acquisition Proposal or (y) any Acquisition Proposal is consummated, then on the earlier to occur of the event described in clause (x) of this sentence and the event described in clause (y) of this sentence, the Company will pay to Parent (A) the Breakup Fee and (B) the excess of the Expense Reimbursement Amount over any amount previously paid in respect of the Expense Reimbursement Amount pursuant to Section 8.2(c) (provided, that for purposes of this Section 8.2(d), the term “Acquisition Proposal” will have the meaning assigned to such term in Section 1.1, except that the references to “20%” will be deemed to be references to “a majority”).

(e) In the event that this Agreement is terminated pursuant to (i) Section 8.1(h) or (ii) Section 8.1(f) in circumstances where the Company would have had the right to terminate pursuant to Section 8.1(h) but for such termination pursuant to Section 8.1(f), then, in any such case, not later than three Business Days following the date of such termination, Parent will pay to the Company the Expense Reimbursement Amount.

(f) In the event this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 8.1(i), not later than two Business Days following the date of such termination, Parent will pay to the Company (A) a termination fee of $2,426,450.00 (the “Reverse Termination Fee”) plus (B) the Expense Reimbursement Amount.

(g) All payments under this Section 8.2 will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by Parent. Each of the Company, Parent and Merger Sub acknowledges that (i) the agreements contained in this Section 8.2 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (ii) without these agreements, Parent, Merger Sub and the Company would not enter into this Agreement and (iii) any amount payable pursuant to this Section 8.2 does not constitute a penalty but is liquidated damages, in a reasonable amount that will compensate the respective parties in the circumstances in which such amount is payable for their respective efforts and resources expended and opportunities foregone while negotiating this Agreement and in reliance on this Agreement and on the expectation of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, which amount would otherwise be impossible to calculate with precision. Accordingly, if either party to this Agreement fails to promptly pay the amount payable when due pursuant to this Section 8.2 (such party, the “Owing Party”), and in order to obtain such payment, the other party commences a suit that results in a judgment against the Owing Party for the unpaid amount, the Owing Party will pay to such other party, from the date such payment was required to be made, interest at the Default Rate on such unpaid amount as determined in the judgment.

8.3 Limitations.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in any circumstance in which the Breakup Fee and/or the Expense Reimbursement Amount, as applicable, is required to be paid to Parent pursuant to Section 8.2 as a result of a termination of this Agreement, Parent’s right to receive the Breakup Fee and/or the Expense Reimbursement Amount, as applicable, pursuant to Section 8.2 (including any right to receive any remaining Expense Reimbursement Amount pursuant to Section 8.2(d) following a payment pursuant to Section 8.2(c)), and any interest payable pursuant to Section 8.2(g), shall be the sole and exclusive remedy (whether at law, in equity, in contract, tort or otherwise) of Parent and its Affiliates against the Company and its Affiliates for any loss suffered as a result of any breach of this Agreement (including any willful and material breach), or the failure of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby to be consummated, or in respect of any oral representation made or alleged to have been made in connection herewith or therewith, and upon such termination and receipt of the full amount of the Breakup Fee and/or the Expense Reimbursement Amount payable hereunder, if any, and any interest thereon payable pursuant to Section 8.2(g), none of the Company or any of its Affiliates or Representatives shall have any further liability or obligation, including consequential, indirect or punitive damages, relating to or arising out of any breach of this Agreement (including any willful and material breach), or the failure of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby to be consummated, or in respect of any oral representation made or alleged to have been made in connection herewith or therewith; provided, that the foregoing shall not impair the rights of Parent to obtain injunctive relief pursuant to Section 9.12 prior to any termination of this Agreement. The maximum aggregate monetary liability of the Company and its Affiliates for any loss suffered as a result of any breach of this Agreement (including any willful and material breach), or the failure of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby to be consummated, or in respect of any oral representation made or alleged to have been made in connection herewith or therewith, whether in equity or at law, in contract, in tort or otherwise, shall be limited to the Breakup Fee and/or the Expense Reimbursement Amount payable hereunder, if any, and any interest thereon payable pursuant to Section 8.2(g), and in no event shall Parent, Merger Sub or any of their respective Affiliates or Representatives seek to recover any money damages (including consequential, indirect or punitive damages) in excess of such amount.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in any circumstance in which the Reverse Termination Fee and/or the Expense Reimbursement Amount is required to be paid to the Company pursuant to Section 8.2 as a result of a termination of this Agreement, the Company’s right to receive the Reverse Termination Fee and/or the Expense Reimbursement Amount, as applicable, pursuant to Section 8.2, and any interest payable pursuant to Section 8.2(g), shall be the sole and exclusive remedy (whether at law, in equity, in contract, tort or otherwise) of the Company and its Affiliates against Parent, Merger Sub, the financing sources and their respective Affiliates for any loss suffered as a result of any breach of this Agreement (including any willful and material breach), or the failure of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby to be consummated, or in respect of any oral representation made or alleged to have been made in connection herewith or therewith, and upon such termination and receipt of the full amount of the Reverse Termination Fee and/or the Expense Reimbursement Amount payable hereunder, if any, and any interest thereon payable pursuant to Section 8.2(g), none of Parent, Merger Sub, the financing sources or any of their respective Affiliates or Representatives (the “Parent Group”) shall have any further liability or obligation, including consequential, indirect or punitive damages, relating to or arising out of any breach of this Agreement (including any willful and material breach), or the failure of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby to be consummated, or in respect of any oral representation made or alleged to have been made in connection herewith or therewith. No Parent Group member, except Parent and Merger Sub to the extent set forth herein, shall have any liability for any obligation or liability of the parties pursuant to this Agreement or for any claim for any loss suffered as a result of any breach of this Agreement (including any willful and material breach), or the failure of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby to be consummated, or in respect of any oral representation made or alleged to have been made in connection herewith or therewith, whether in equity or at law, in contract, in tort or otherwise. The maximum aggregate monetary liability of Parent, Merger Sub and their respective Affiliates for any loss suffered as a result of any breach of this Agreement (including any willful and material breach), or the failure of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby to be consummated, or in respect of any oral representation made or alleged to have been made in connection herewith or therewith, whether in equity or at law, in contract, in tort or otherwise, shall be limited to the Reverse Termination Fee and/or the Expense Reimbursement Amount payable hereunder, if any, and any interest thereon payable pursuant to Section 8.2(g), and in no event shall the Company or any of its Affiliates or Representatives seek to recover any money damages (including consequential, indirect or punitive damages) in excess of such amount.

8.4 Amendment. This Agreement may be amended by the Company, Parent and Merger Sub by action taken by or on behalf of their respective Boards of Directors at any time prior to the Effective Time, whether before or after adoption of this Agreement by the stockholders of the Company or of Merger Sub; provided, however, that, after adoption of this Agreement by such stockholders, no amendment may be made which, by Law or in accordance with the rules of any relevant stock exchange, requires further approval by such stockholders without obtaining such further approval. This Agreement may not be amended except by an instrument in writing signed by the parties hereto.

8.5 Waiver. At any time prior to the Effective Time, Parent and Merger Sub, on the one hand, and the Company, on the other hand, may (i) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the other, (ii) waive any Uncured Inaccuracies in the representations and warranties of the other contained herein or in any document delivered pursuant hereto and (iii) waive compliance by the other with any of the agreements or conditions contained herein. Any such extension or waiver will be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed by the party or parties to be bound thereby, but such extension or waiver or failure to insist on strict compliance with an obligation, covenant, agreement or condition will not operate as a waiver of, or estoppel with respect to, any subsequent or other failure.

If an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement will be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties, and no presumption or burden of proof will arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any provision.

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

(b) Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of any California State or federal court located in Los Angeles County, in the State of California, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the agreements delivered in connection herewith or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment relating thereto, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally (i) agrees not to commence any such action or proceeding except in such courts, (ii) agrees that any claim in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such courts, (iii) waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such action or proceeding in any such courts and (iv) waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such courts.

9.12 Specific Performance. The Company agrees that irreparable damage would occur and that Parent and Merger Sub would not have any adequate remedy at Law if any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that, prior to the termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, Parent and Merger Sub shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof in any court referred to in Section 9.10(b), this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at Law or in equity.
