Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if any Dissenting Stockholder shall demand to be paid the “fair value” of its Dissenter Shares, as provided in Section 262 of the DGCL, such Dissenter Shares shall not be converted into or exchangeable for the right to receive the Merger Consideration (except as provided in this Section 1.8) and shall entitle such Dissenting Stockholder only to payment of the fair value of such Dissenter Shares, in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL, unless and until such Dissenting Stockholder withdraws (in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL) or effectively loses the right to dissent. The Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of Parent, voluntarily make (or cause or permit to be made on its behalf) any payment with respect to, or settle or offer to settle, any such demand for payment of fair value of Dissenter Shares prior to the Effective Time.

From and after the Effective Time, a holder of Dissenter Shares shall not be entitled to exercise any of the voting rights or other rights of an equity owner of the Surviving Company or of a stockholder of Parent.

ARTICLE II

EXCHANGE OF CERTIFICATES

Section 2.1                                    Paying Agent. At the Closing, Parent shall deposit, or shall cause to be deposited, with a bank or trust company designated by Parent and reasonably satisfactory to the Company (the “Paying Agent”), for the benefit of the holders of shares of Company Common Stock, for exchange in accordance with this Article II, through the Paying Agent, cash in U.S. dollars in an amount sufficient to pay the aggregate amount of the Merger Consideration (such cash being hereinafter referred to as the “Exchange Fund”) payable pursuant to Article I in exchange for outstanding shares of Company Common Stock (but not, for the avoidance of doubt, for payments in respect of Company Common Stock Options, Company RSUs or Company Restricted Stock, which shall be paid by the Company through its payroll system as soon as practicable (and in any case no later than the second payroll date) following the Closing unless otherwise agreed to by Parent).

Section 2.2                                    Exchange Procedures. Promptly following the Effective Time (but in no event later than three (3) Business Days following the Effective Time), Parent shall instruct the Paying Agent to mail to each holder of record of a certificate or certificates that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding shares of Company Common Stock (“Certificates,” it being understood that any references herein to “Certificates” shall be deemed to include references to book-entry account statements relating to the ownership of shares of Company Common Stock) and whose shares of Company Common Stock have been converted into the right to receive Merger Consideration pursuant to Article I (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, the Company, Parent, Merger Sub, any Subsidiary of the Company or Parent or holders of Dissenter Shares who have not subsequently withdrawn or lost their rights of appraisal) (i) a letter of transmittal in customary form and with such other provisions as Parent may reasonably determine (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon proper delivery of Certificates to the Paying Agent) and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of Certificates in exchange for the Merger Consideration. Upon surrender of a Certificate for cancellation to the Paying Agent together with such letter of transmittal, properly completed and duly executed, and such other documents as may be reasonably required pursuant to such instructions (or, if such shares are held in book-entry or other uncertificated form, upon the entry through a book-entry transfer agent of the surrender of such shares on a book-entry account statement), the holder of such Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor the Merger Consideration that such holder has the right to receive in respect of the shares of Company Common Stock formerly represented by such Certificate, and the Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled. No interest will be paid or accrued on any Merger Consideration payable to holders of Certificates. In the event of a transfer of ownership of shares of Company Common Stock that is not registered in the transfer records of the Company, the Merger Consideration may be issued to a transferee if the Certificate representing such shares of Company Common Stock is presented to the Paying Agent, accompanied by all documents required to evidence and effect such transfer and by evidence that any applicable stock transfer Taxes have been paid. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Article II, each Certificate shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive upon such surrender the Merger Consideration or the right to demand to be paid the “fair value” of the shares represented thereby as contemplated by Section 1.8.

Section 2.3                                    Further Rights in Company Common Stock. All Merger Consideration paid in accordance with the terms hereof shall be deemed to have been issued in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to the shares of Company Common Stock in respect of which such Merger Consideration was paid.

Section 2.4                                    Termination of Exchange Fund. Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains undistributed to the holders of Company Common Stock for nine (9) months after the Effective Time shall be delivered to the Surviving Corporation upon demand, and any Company Common Stockholders who have not theretofore complied with this Article II shall thereafter look only to the Surviving Corporation for the Merger Consideration, without any interest thereon.

Section 2.5                                    No Liability. None of Parent, the Company or the Surviving Corporation shall be liable to any Company Common Stockholder for any cash from the Exchange Fund delivered to a public official pursuant to any abandoned property, escheat or similar Law.

Section 2.6                                    Lost Certificates. If any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by Parent, the posting by such Person of a bond, in such reasonable and customary amount as Parent may direct, as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate, the Paying Agent will issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate the Merger Consideration without any interest thereon.

Section 2.7                                    No Further Dividends. No dividends or other distributions with respect to capital stock of the Surviving Corporation with a record date on or after the Effective Time shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Certificates.

Section 2.8                                    Withholding of Tax. Parent, the Surviving Corporation, any Affiliate thereof or the Paying Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder of shares of Company Common Stock, Company Common Stock Options, Company RSUs and/or Company Restricted Stock such amount as Parent, the Surviving Corporation, any Affiliate thereof or the Paying Agent is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code or any provision of state, local or foreign Tax Law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld by the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent, such withheld amounts shall be (i) paid over to the applicable Governmental Entity in accordance with applicable Law or Order and (ii) treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the former holder of a Certificate, Company Common Stock Option or Company RSU in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.

ARTICLE IV

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF PARENT AND MERGER SUB

Subject to such exceptions as are disclosed in the Parent Disclosure Letter (it being acknowledged and agreed that disclosure of any item in any Section or subsection of the Parent Disclosure Letter shall be deemed disclosed with respect to any other Section or subjection of the Parent Disclosure Letter to the extent that the relevance of any disclosed event, item or occurrence in the Parent Disclosure Letter to such other Section or subsection is reasonably apparent on its face as to matters and items that are the subject of the corresponding representation or warranty in this Agreement), Parent and Merger Sub jointly and severally represent and warrant to the Company as follows:

Section 4.1                                    Organization and Good Standing. Each of Parent and Merger Sub is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing (with respect to jurisdictions that recognize such concept) under the Law of the State of Delaware, has full corporate power and authority to own, lease and operate its properties and assets and to conduct its business as presently conducted and is duly qualified or licensed to do business as a foreign corporation and is in good standing (with respect to jurisdictions that recognize such concept) in each jurisdiction where the character of the properties owned, leased or operated by it or the nature of its business makes such qualification or licensing necessary, except in each case as would not reasonably be expected to have a Parent Material Adverse Effect.

34

Section 4.2                                    Authority for Agreement. Each of Parent and Merger Sub has all necessary corporate power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement, to perform its obligations hereunder and to consummate the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The execution, delivery and performance by Parent and Merger Sub of this Agreement, and the consummation by Parent and Merger Sub of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action and no other corporate proceedings on the part of Parent or Merger Sub, and no other votes or approvals of any class or series of capital stock of Parent or Merger Sub, are necessary to authorize this Agreement or to consummate the Merger or the other transactions contemplated hereby. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by Parent and Merger Sub and, assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery by the Company, constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of Parent and Merger Sub enforceable against Parent and Merger Sub in accordance with its terms, subject the Bankruptcy and Equity Exception.

Section 4.3                                    No Conflict; Required Filings and Consents.

(a)                                 Assuming compliance with the matters, and receipt of the approvals, referenced in Section 4.3(b), the execution and delivery of this Agreement by Parent and Merger Sub do not, and the performance of this Agreement by Parent and Merger Sub and the consummation of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement will not, (i) conflict with or violate Parent’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation or the Parent Bylaws, or the equivalent organizational documents of Merger Sub, (ii) conflict with or violate any Law applicable to Parent or its Subsidiaries or any property or asset of Parent or any of its Subsidiaries or (iii) result in a breach of or constitute a default (or an event that with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under, give to others (immediately or with notice or lapse of time or both) any right of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, result (immediately or with notice or lapse of time or both) in triggering any payment or other obligations, or result (immediately or with notice or lapse of time or both) in the creation of an Encumbrance (other than a Permitted Encumbrance) on any property or asset of Parent or its Subsidiaries pursuant to, any Contract or other instrument or obligation to which Parent or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which Parent or any of its Subsidiaries, or any property or asset of Parent or any of its Subsidiaries, is bound or affected, except in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) for any such conflicts, violations, breaches, defaults or other occurrences that would not reasonably be expected to have a Parent Material Adverse Effect.

(b)                                 The execution and delivery of this Agreement by Parent and Merger Sub do not, and the performance of this Agreement by Parent and Merger Sub will not, require any consent, approval, authorization or permit of, or filing with or notification to, or registration or qualification with, any Governmental Entity, except for applicable requirements, if any, of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, or state securities Law or “blue sky” Law and the HSR Act.  As of the date hereof, to the knowledge of Parent and the Company, there is no reason why all material regulatory approvals from any Governmental Entity of competent jurisdiction required for the consummation of the Merger should not be obtained.

35

Section 4.4                                    Litigation. There are no Actions pending or, to the knowledge of Parent, threatened against Parent or any of its Subsidiaries, including Merger Sub, that would reasonably be expected to have a Parent Material Adverse Effect.  Neither Parent nor any Subsidiary of Parent is subject to any outstanding Order, except as would not reasonably be expected to have a Parent Material Adverse Effect.

Section 4.5                                    Availability of Funds.

(a)                                 Parent has received and accepted (i) the executed commitment letter, dated as of the date hereof and provided to the Company, from the Lender, including all exhibits, schedules, annexes and amendments to such letter in effect as of the date hereof (such letter and the commitment set forth therein, the “Debt Financing Commitment”), pursuant to which the Lender has, subject to the terms and conditions therein, agreed to provide the amounts set forth therein for the purposes of financing the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement and related fees and expenses (the “Debt Financing”) and (ii) the executed equity commitment letter, dated as of the date hereof and provided to the Company, from the Sponsor, including all exhibits, schedules, annexes and amendments to such letter (such letter and the commitment set forth therein, the “Equity Financing Commitment” and together with the Debt Financing Commitment, the “Financing Commitments”), pursuant to which the Sponsor has, subject to the terms and conditions therein, agreed to provide the equity investments set forth therein (the “Equity Financing” and together with the Debt Financing, the “Financing”). Parent has delivered to the Company a true and complete copy of the fee letter referenced in the Debt Financing Commitment (the “Fee Letter”) (except that such fee letter shall have been redacted in a manner acceptable to the Lender and Parent, including redactions of the fee amounts, consent fees, price caps (including price caps in any securities demand provisions and economic flex provisions) set forth therein).

(b)                                 Except as expressly set forth in the Financing Commitments, there are no conditions precedent to the obligations of the Lender or the Sponsor to provide the Financing or any contingencies that would permit the Lender or the Sponsor to reduce the total amount of the Financing. Assuming the satisfaction of the conditions set forth Sections 6.1 and 6.2 and the performance by the Company of its obligations under this Agreement, Parent does not have any reason to believe that it will be unable to satisfy fully and unconditionally on a timely basis all conditions and terms to be satisfied by it in any of the Financing Commitments on or prior to the Closing Date, nor does Parent have knowledge that the Lender or the Sponsor will not perform any of its respective obligations thereunder.

36

(c)                                  The Financing Commitments are in full force and effect as of the date hereof and are the legal, valid and binding obligations of Parent and Merger Sub and, to the knowledge of Parent, of the other parties thereto, in accordance with the terms and conditions thereof, subject to the Bankruptcy and Equity Exception. No event has occurred that, with or without notice, lapse of time, or both, would reasonably be expected to constitute a default or breach or a failure to satisfy a condition precedent on the part of Parent or, to the knowledge of Parent, any other party to the Financing Commitments, under any of the Financing Commitments.  Parent shall have paid in full any and all commitment fees and other fees required to be paid pursuant to the terms of the Financing Commitments as and when due. Neither Financing Commitment has been modified, amended or altered as of the date hereof, neither Financing Commitment will be amended, modified or altered at any time through the Closing, except as permitted by Section 4.5(d), none of the respective commitments under any Financing Commitment have been withdrawn or rescinded in any respect and neither the Lender nor the Sponsor has threatened to withdraw or rescind any of the Equity Financing or the Debt Financing, respectively.

(d)                                 Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, all or a portion of the Debt Financing Commitment may, in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, be superseded at the option of Parent after the date hereof but prior to the Effective Time by instruments (the “Alternative Financing Commitments”) replacing the existing Debt Financing Commitment; provided that any Alternative Financing Commitment shall comply with all limitations on amendments, modifications and replacements of the Debt Financing Commitment set forth in the first sentence of Section 5.12(c) and shall not contain conditions to the receipt of such Debt Financing that are materially less favorable, in the aggregate, to Parent (as determined in the reasonable judgment of Parent) than the terms of the Debt Financing Commitment such Alternative Financing Commitment is replacing. In the event all or a portion of the Debt Financing Commitment is superseded after the date hereof, (x) the term “Financing Commitments” as used herein shall be deemed to include the Financing Commitments that are not so superseded at the time in question and the Alternative Financing Commitments to the extent then in effect, and (y) the term “Debt Financing” as used herein shall mean the debt financing contemplated by the Financing Commitments as modified pursuant to the foregoing clause (x).

(e)                                  Assuming the Financing Commitments are funded, Parent and Merger Sub will have at and after the Closing funds (after netting out applicable, fees, expenses, original issue discount and similar premiums and charges and after giving effect to the maximum amount of flex (including original issue discount flex) provided under the Debt Financing Commitment and the Fee Letter) sufficient to pay all of the amounts payable under Article I or otherwise in connection with the Merger and fees and expenses associated with the consummation of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby.

(f)                                   Parent’s obligation to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby is not contingent on Parent’s ability to obtain the Financing prior to consummating the Merger.

37

Section 4.6                                    Limited Guarantee. Parent has provided to the Company a true and complete copy of the Limited Guarantee.  The Limited Guarantee is in full force and effect as of the date hereof and constitutes a valid and binding obligation of the Sponsor enforceable against the Sponsor in accordance with its terms, subject the Bankruptcy and Equity Exception.  No event has occurred that, with or without notice, lapse of time or both, would or would reasonably be expected to constitute a default or breach on the part of the Sponsor under the Limited Guarantee.

Section 4.7                                    Brokers. No broker, finder or investment banker is entitled to any brokerage, finder’s or other fee or commission in connection with this Agreement, the Merger or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement based upon arrangements made by or on behalf of Parent or Merger Sub or any of their respective directors, officers or employees, for which the Company may become liable.

Section 4.8                                    Merger Sub. As of the date hereof, the authorized capital stock of Merger Sub consists of 1,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, all of which shares are validly issued and outstanding.  All of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Merger Sub is, and at the Effective Time will be, owned by Parent.  Merger Sub was formed solely for the purpose of engaging in the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and, prior to the Effective Time, Merger Sub will have engaged in no business and have no Liabilities or obligations other than in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Section 4.9                                    Solvency. As of the Effective Time and immediately after giving effect to all of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the Merger, the Financing and all payments contemplated by this Agreement in connection with the Merger (including payment of all amounts payable under Article I in connection with or as a result of the Merger) and payment of all related fees and expenses of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company and their respective Subsidiaries in connection therewith, and assuming the accuracy as of the Effective Time in all material respects of those representations and warranties of the Company set forth in Article III that relate to the subject matter of clauses (i) through (iii) of this Section 4.9 (including Section 3.8): (i) the amount of the “fair saleable value” of the assets of each of the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, will exceed (A) the value of all Liabilities of the Surviving Corporation and such Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, including contingent and other Liabilities (whether or not reflected in a balance sheet prepared in accordance with GAAP), and (B) the amount that will be required to pay the probable Liabilities of the Surviving Corporation and such Subsidiaries on their existing debts as such debts become absolute and matured, (ii) each of the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries will not have an unreasonably small amount of capital for the operation of the businesses in which it is engaged or proposed to be engaged and (iii) each of the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries will be able to pay its Liabilities, including contingent and other Liabilities, as they mature. For purposes of the foregoing, “not have an unreasonably small amount of capital for the operation of the businesses in which it is engaged or proposed to be engaged” and “able to pay its liabilities, including contingent and other liabilities, as they mature” means that such Person will be able to generate enough cash from operations, asset dispositions or refinancing, or a combination thereof, to meet its obligations as they become due.

38

Section 4.10                             Information Supplied. Neither the written information supplied, or to be supplied, by or on behalf of Parent or Merger Sub for inclusion in the Proxy Statement or any other documents to be filed by Parent, Merger Sub or the Company with the SEC or any other Governmental Entity in connection with the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby, will, on the date of its filing or, in the case of the Proxy Statement, at the date it is mailed to Company Common Stockholders and at the time of the Stockholders Meeting, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. If at any time prior to the Effective Time any event with respect to Parent or Merger Sub shall occur that is required to be described in the Proxy Statement, Parent shall promptly disclose such event to the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Parent makes no representation or warranty with respect to any information supplied by the Company that is contained in any of the foregoing documents.

Section 4.11                             Stockholder, Labor and Employee Matters. Other than the Voting Agreements, neither Parent nor Merger Sub has: (i) entered into any employment agreement, or made or entered into any formal or informal arrangements or other understandings (whether or not binding), with any of the Company’s stockholders, directors, officers or employees, or any other Contract with such Persons relating to this Agreement, the Merger or any of the other transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) offered employment to any of the Company’s stockholders, directors, officers or employees, (iii) had discussions with any of the Company’s stockholders, directors, officers or employees regarding the future terms of their employment after the Closing or (iv) sold, or offered to sell, any direct or indirect equity interest in the Company to any of the Company’s stockholders, directors, officers or employees.

Section 5.3                                    Reasonable Efforts; Notification.

(a)                                 Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, each of Parent, Merger Sub and the Company agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, and to assist and cooperate with the other parties hereto in doing, all things necessary, proper or advisable to fulfill all conditions to the obligations of the other parties hereto set forth in Article VI and to consummate and make effective, in the most expeditious manner practicable, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, including (i) using commercially reasonable efforts to take all acts necessary to cause such conditions to be satisfied and not to take acts that would reasonably be expected to result in such conditions not being so satisfied, (ii) obtaining all necessary actions or non-actions, waivers, consents, qualifications and approvals from Governmental Entities and making all necessary registrations, filings and notices and taking all reasonable steps as may be necessary to obtain any required approval, waiver or exemption from any Governmental Entity (including under the HSR Act), (iii) obtaining all necessary consents, qualifications, approvals, waivers or exemptions from the non-governmental Third Parties set forth on Section 5.3(a) of the Company Disclosure Letter and (iv)  repatriating funds as of the Closing at the reasonable direction of Parent (provided that any such actions shall not be required to be taken if the Company determines in good faith that such actions would result in material and adverse Tax consequences to the Company or its Subsidiaries), converting any short-term investments (as classified in the consolidated financial statements of the Company and its Subsidiaries) into cash as of the Closing at the reasonable discretion of Parent and executing and delivering any additional documents or instruments, in each case to the extent necessary, proper or advisable to consummate the transactions contemplated by, and to fully carry out the purposes of, the Transaction Documents.

44

(b)                                 Without limiting the foregoing, (i) each of the Company, Parent and Merger Sub shall use its reasonable best efforts to make promptly (and in any event no later than ten (10) Business Days following the date hereof) any required submissions under the HSR Act and any other Antitrust Law that the Company and Parent determines should be made, in each case with respect to the Merger and the transactions contemplated hereby and (ii) Parent, Merger Sub and the Company shall cooperate with one another (A) in promptly determining whether any filings are required to be or should be made or consents, approvals, permits or authorizations are required to be or should be obtained under any foreign Law or regulation or whether any consents, approvals or waivers are required to be or should be obtained from other parties to loan agreements or other Contracts material to the Company’s business in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and (B) in promptly making any such filings, furnishing information required in connection therewith and seeking to obtain timely any such consents, permits, authorizations, approvals or waivers. Each of the Company and Parent shall (1) give the other party prompt notice of the commencement or threat of commencement of any Action by or before any Governmental Entity with respect to the Merger or any of the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (2) keep the other party informed as to the status of any such Action or threat, (3) promptly inform the other party of any material communication concerning the HSR Act or other Antitrust Law to or from any Governmental Entity regarding the Merger and (4) furnish to the other party such information and assistance as the other may reasonably request in connection with any filing or other act undertaken in compliance with the HSR Act and any other Antitrust Law. Except as may be prohibited by any Governmental Entity, the Company and Parent will consult and cooperate with one another, and will consider in good faith the views of one another, in connection with any analysis, appearance, presentation, memorandum, brief, argument, opinion or proposal made or submitted in connection with any suit, claim, action, investigation or proceeding under or relating to the HSR Act or any other Antitrust Law. Each of the Company and Parent will permit authorized Representatives of the other party to be present at each meeting or conference relating to any such legal proceeding and to have access to and be consulted in connection with any document, opinion or proposal made or submitted to any Governmental Entity in connection with any such legal proceeding. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, neither Parent nor any of its Affiliates shall be required to, nor shall the Company (without the consent of Parent, which may be withheld in Parent’s sole discretion), negotiate, commit to or effect by Order or otherwise, the sale, divestiture or disposition of any assets, properties or businesses or of the assets, properties or businesses to be acquired by it pursuant hereto or enter into any Order, accept any undertaking or condition or otherwise take or commit to take actions that would limit Parent’s, the Company’s or their respective Affiliates’ freedom of action with respect to, or ability to retain, any of their businesses, product lines or assets, or otherwise limit Parent’s or its Affiliates’ ability to receive the full benefits of this Agreement. In no event shall Parent or Merger Sub be required to (nor will the Company, without Parent’s consent, which may be withheld at Parent’s sole discretion) pay any fee, penalty or other consideration to any third party for any consent or approval required for the consummation of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement under any Contract.

45

(c)                                  Each of the Company, on the one hand, and Parent and Merger Sub, on the other, shall promptly (and in any event within five (5) Business Days) notify the other party in writing if it believes that such party has breached any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement that would, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be likely to result in a failure of a condition set forth in Section 6.2 or Section 6.3 if continuing on the Closing Date.

(d)                                 If any Antitakeover Law is or may become applicable to the Merger or any of the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Company and the Company Board of Directors shall promptly grant such approvals and use commercially reasonable efforts to take such other lawful actions as are necessary so that such transactions may be consummated as promptly as practicable on the terms contemplated by this Agreement or the Merger, as the case may be, and otherwise take such other commercially reasonable and lawful actions to eliminate or minimize the effects of such statute, and any regulations promulgated thereunder, on such transactions.

Section 5.4                                    Proxy.

(a)                                 Proxy Statement. As promptly as practicable after the date hereof, the Company shall prepare the Proxy Statement and the Company shall cause the Proxy Statement to be filed with the SEC as soon as practicable after the date hereof, and in any event no later than the date that is ten (10) Business Days following the date hereof. Parent and Merger Sub shall furnish all information as the Company may reasonably request in connection with such actions and the preparation of the Proxy Statement. Subject to and without limiting the rights of the Company Board of Directors pursuant to Section 5.6, the Proxy Statement shall include the Company Recommendation. The Proxy Statement shall include all material disclosure relating to the Company Financial Advisor (including the amount of fees and other considerations the Company Financial Advisor will receive upon consummation of the Merger, and the conditions for the payment of such fees and other considerations), the opinion referred to in Section 3.19 and the basis for rendering such opinion.

(b)                                 SEC Comments. The Company, after consultation with Parent, will use its reasonable best efforts to respond as promptly as practicable to any comments made by the SEC with respect to the Proxy Statement. The Company will advise Parent, promptly after it receives notice thereof, of any request by the SEC for amendment of the Proxy Statement or comments thereon and responses thereto or requests by the SEC for additional information and will promptly supply Parent with copies of all correspondence between the Company or any of the Company Representatives, on the one hand, and the SEC or its staff, on the other hand, with respect to the Proxy Statement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Prior to filing or mailing the Proxy Statement or filing any other required filings (or, in each case, any amendment or supplement thereto) or responding to any comments of the SEC with respect thereto, the Company shall provide Parent with an opportunity to review and comment on such document or response and shall include in such document or response comments reasonably proposed by Parent. As promptly as practicable after the clearance (which shall include upon expiration of the ten- (10) day period after filing in the event the SEC does not review the Proxy Statement) of the Proxy Statement by the SEC (the “SEC Clearance Date”), the Company shall mail the Proxy Statement and all other proxy materials to the holders of shares of Company Common Stock and, if necessary in order to comply with applicable securities Law, after the Proxy Statement shall have been so mailed, promptly circulate amended, supplemental or supplemented proxy material, and, if required in connection therewith, re-solicit proxies.

46

(c)                                  Information Supplied. Each of Parent and the Company agrees, as to it and its Affiliates and Representatives, that none of the information supplied or to be supplied by Parent or the Company, as applicable, expressly for inclusion or incorporation by reference in the Proxy Statement or any other documents filed or to be filed with the SEC in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, will, as of the time such documents (or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto) are mailed to the holders of shares of Company Common Stock and at the time of the Stockholders Meeting, contain any untrue statement of a material fact, or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. Each of Parent, Merger Sub and the Company further agrees that all documents that such party is responsible for filing with the SEC in connection with the Merger will comply as to form and substance in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and any other applicable Law and will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact, or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. If at any time prior to the Effective Time, any event or circumstance relating to Parent or Merger Sub, or their respective officers or directors, should be discovered by Parent that should be set forth in an amendment or a supplement to the Proxy Statement, Parent shall promptly inform the Company and, if requested by Parent, the Company shall amend or supplement the Proxy Statement promptly to disclose such event or circumstance. If at any time prior to the Effective Time, any event or circumstance relating to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or their respective officers or directors, should be discovered by the Company that should be set forth in an amendment or a supplement to the Proxy Statement, the Company shall promptly inform Parent and, if requested by Parent, the Company shall amend or supplement the Proxy Statement promptly to disclose such event or circumstance.

47

Section 5.5                                    Stockholders Meeting.

(a)                                 The Company shall duly call, give notice of and hold the Stockholders Meeting as promptly as practicable following the date on which the Proxy Statement is mailed to the Company Common Stockholders; provided that, without the prior written consent of Parent, (i) the Stockholders Meeting shall not be held later than thirty (30) calendar days after the SEC Clearance Date and (ii) the Company may not adjourn or postpone the Stockholders Meeting; provided that nothing herein shall prevent the Company from postponing or adjourning the Stockholders Meeting (x) if there are holders of insufficient shares of the Company Common Stock present or represented by a proxy at the Stockholders Meeting to constitute a quorum at the Stockholders Meeting, (y) if the Company is required to postpone or adjourn the Stockholders Meeting by an Order or a request from the SEC or its staff or (z) to the extent necessary to ensure that any supplement or amendment to the Proxy Statement that is required by applicable Law is timely provided to the holders of the Company Common Stock prior to the vote at the Stockholders Meeting.

(b)                                 The Company shall establish a record date for purposes of determining Company Common Stockholders entitled to notice of and vote at the Stockholders Meeting (the “Record Date”). Once the Company has established the Record Date, the Company shall not change such Record Date or establish a different record date for the Stockholders Meeting without the prior written consent of Parent. In the event that the date of the Stockholders Meeting as originally called is for any reason adjourned or postponed or otherwise delayed, the Company agrees that unless Parent shall have otherwise approved in writing (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), it shall implement such adjournment or postponement or other delay in such a way that the Company does not establish a new Record Date for the Stockholders Meeting, as so adjourned, postponed or delayed, except as required by applicable Law.

(c)                                  Subject to Section 5.6, at the Stockholders Meeting, the Company Board of Directors shall make the Company Recommendation and, unless there has been a Company Adverse Recommendation Change, the Company shall take all reasonable lawful action to solicit the Company Required Vote.  Notwithstanding any Company Adverse Recommendation Change, unless this Agreement is validly terminated pursuant to, and in accordance with Article VII, this Agreement shall be submitted to the Company Common Stockholders for the purpose of obtaining the Company Required Vote. 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 Stockholders Meeting, as to the aggregate tally of the proxies received by the Company with respect to the Company Required Vote. Without the prior written consent of Parent, the adoption of this Agreement shall be the only matter (other than procedural matters) that the Company shall propose to be acted on by the Company Common Stockholders at the Stockholders Meeting.

48

Section 5.6                                    No Solicitation of Transactions.

(a)                                 Within one (1) Business Day following the date hereof, the Company will instruct and cause its Subsidiaries and its and their respective Representatives to immediately cease all discussions and negotiations with any Persons that may be ongoing with respect to an Acquisition Proposal, and deliver a written notice to each such Person to the effect that the Company is ending all discussions and negotiations with such Person with respect to any Acquisition Proposal and such notice shall also request such Person to promptly return or destroy all confidential information concerning the Company and its Subsidiaries made available to such Person in connection with a potential Acquisition Proposal. From the date hereof until the earlier of the Effective Time or the termination of this Agreement, the Company will not and will not authorize or permit any Subsidiary, or Representative to, directly or indirectly:

(A)                               initiate, solicit, propose, knowingly encourage (including by providing information) or take any action to knowingly facilitate any inquiries or the making of any proposal or offer that constitutes, or would reasonably be expected to lead to, an Acquisition Proposal;

(B)                               engage in, continue or otherwise participate in any discussions (other than to refer to this Agreement) or negotiations regarding, or provide any information or data concerning the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to any Person relating to, any Acquisition Proposal or any proposal or offer that would reasonably be expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal;

(C)                               grant any waiver, amendment or release under any standstill or confidentiality agreement or Section 203 of the DGCL (provided that the Company shall not be required to enforce, and shall be permitted to waive, any provision that prohibits or purports to prohibit a confidential proposal being made to the Company Board of Directors (directly or indirectly through the Company’s Representatives) or would restrict the Company’s rights under this Agreement);

(D)                               approve, endorse, recommend or execute or enter into any letter of intent, agreement in principle, merger agreement, acquisition agreement or other similar agreement (which, for the avoidance of doubt, excludes any Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement) relating to an Acquisition Proposal or any proposal or offer that would reasonably be expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal, or that contradicts this Agreement or requires the Company to abandon this Agreement; or

(E)                                resolve, propose or agree to do any of the foregoing.

(b)                                 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 5.6(a), at any time prior to, but not after, obtaining the Company Required Vote, the Company may:

(i)                                     provide information in response to a request therefor to a Third Party who has made a bona fide written Acquisition Proposal after the date hereof that was not solicited in material violation of this Section 5.6 if and only if, prior to providing such information, the Company has received from such Third Party so requesting such information an executed Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement; provided that the Company shall promptly (and in any event within 24 hours) make available to Parent any material information concerning the Company and its Subsidiaries that is provided to such Third Party making such Acquisition Proposal that is given such access and that was not previously made available to Parent or the Parent Representatives; or

49

(ii)                                  engage or participate in any discussions or negotiations with an Third Party who has made such an unsolicited bona fide written Acquisition Proposal;

provided that, prior to taking any action described in Section 5.6(b)(i) or Section 5.6(b)(ii), (A) the Company Board of Directors shall have 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, and (B) the Company Board of Directors shall have determined in good faith, based on the information then available and after consultation with its independent financial advisor and outside legal counsel, that such Acquisition Proposal either constitutes a Superior Proposal or would reasonably be expected to result in a Superior Proposal; provided, further, that the Company and its Representatives may contact such Third Party to clarify the terms and conditions of such Acquisition Proposal prior to making any such determinations.

(c)                                  Except as expressly provided by Section 5.6(d), Section 5.6(e) or Section 5.6(f), at any time after the date hereof, neither the Company Board of Directors nor any committee thereof nor any of the directors, whether acting in their individual capacity or as a director, shall:

(i)                                     (A) withhold, withdraw, qualify or modify (or publicly propose or resolve to withhold, withdraw, qualify or modify), in a manner adverse to Parent or the Merger Sub, the Company Recommendation with respect to the Merger, (B) adopt, approve or recommend to the Company Common Stockholders or propose to adopt, approve or recommend to the Company Common Stockholders an Acquisition Proposal, (C) fail to make a Required Reaffirmation within five (5) Business Days after Parent so requests in writing; provided that such failure shall not be a Company Adverse Recommendation Change if the Company shall have previously made a Required Reaffirmation on two (2) or more occasions or within the thirty (30) days immediately preceding such request; provided, further, that such failure shall not be a Company Adverse Recommendation Change if there shall not have been, at the time of such request, a publicly announced Acquisition Proposal that has not been withdrawn or substantial market rumors with respect to a potential Acquisition Proposal, (D) fail to recommend against any Acquisition Proposal subject to Regulation 14D under the Exchange Act in a Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9 within ten (10) Business Days after the commencement of such Acquisition Proposal or (E) fail to include the Company Recommendation in the Proxy Statement (any action described in clauses (A) through (E), a “Company Adverse Recommendation Change”); or

50

(ii)                                  cause or permit the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to enter into any Acquisition Agreement relating to any Acquisition Proposal.

(d)                                 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, at any time prior to obtaining the Company Required Vote, if the Company has received a bona fide written Acquisition Proposal from any Person that is not withdrawn and that the Company Board of Directors concludes in good faith constitutes a Superior Proposal, then (x) the Company Board of Directors may effect a Company Adverse Recommendation Change with respect to such Superior Proposal, or (y) the Company Board of Directors may authorize the Company to terminate this Agreement to enter into an Alternative Acquisition Agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal, if and only if:

(i)                                     the Company Board of Directors determines in good faith, after consultation with its independent financial advisor and outside legal counsel, that failure to do so would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law;

(ii)                                  the Company shall have complied in all material respects with its obligations under this Section 5.6 with respect to such Acquisition Proposal;

(iii)                               the Company shall have provided prior written notice to Parent at least four (4) Business Days in advance (the “Notice Period”), to the effect that the Company Board of Directors has received a bona fide written Acquisition Proposal that is not withdrawn and that the Company Board of Directors concludes in good faith constitutes a Superior Proposal and, absent any revision to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Company Board of Directors has resolved to effect a Company Adverse Recommendation Change and/or to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1(d), which notice shall specify the basis for such Company Adverse Recommendation Change and/or termination, including the identity of the party making the Superior Proposal and the material terms thereof; and

(A)                               prior to effecting such Company Adverse Recommendation Change or termination, the Company shall, and shall cause their financial and legal advisors to, during the Notice Period, negotiate with Parent and the Parent Representatives 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 would cease to constitute a Superior Proposal; provided that in the event of any material revisions to the Acquisition Proposal that the Company Board of Directors has determined to be a Superior Proposal, the Company shall be required to deliver a new written notice to Parent and to comply with the requirements of this Section 5.6 (including this Section 5.6(d)) with respect to such new written notice; provided, further, that the Notice Period with respect to such new written notice shall expire upon the end of the second (2nd) Business Day after the delivery of such new written notice; and

51

(B)                               any such termination shall be in accordance with Section 7.1(e), including the payment of the Company Termination Fee in accordance with Section 7.2(b).

(e)                                  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, at any time prior to obtaining the Company Required Vote, the Company Board of Directors may, in response to a material development or change in material circumstances not relating to any Acquisition Proposal, which development or change first occurred or arose after the date hereof and the existence and material consequences of which development or change were not known by the Company Board of Directors at or prior to the date hereof (such material development or change in circumstances, an “Intervening Event”), make a Company Adverse Recommendation Change if the Company Board of Directors determines in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisor and outside legal counsel, that, in light of such Intervening Event, the failure of the Company Board of Directors to effect such a Company Adverse Recommendation Change would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law; provided that the Company Board of Directors shall not be entitled to exercise its right to make a Company Adverse Recommendation Change pursuant to this Section 5.6(e) unless the Company has (i) provided to Parent at least four (4) Business Days prior written notice (unless the Intervening Event arises fewer than four (4) Business Days prior to the Stockholders Meeting, in which case such notice shall be given as promptly as practicable prior to the Stockholders Meeting), which notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for such Company Adverse Recommendation Change, and (ii) during such four (4) Business Day period, if requested by Parent, engaged in good faith negotiations with Parent to make such adjustments in the terms and conditions of this Agreement in such a manner that obviates the need for a Company Adverse Recommendation Change as a result of such Intervening Event.

(f)                                   Nothing contained in this Section 5.6 shall be deemed to prohibit the Company or the Company Board of Directors from (i) complying with its disclosure obligations under U.S. federal or state Law with regard to an Acquisition Proposal or this Agreement, including taking and disclosing to its stockholders a position contemplated by Rule 14d-9 or Rule 14e-2(a) under the Exchange Act (or any similar communication to Company Common Stockholders), provided that the Company shall not effect or disclose pursuant to such rules or otherwise a position that constitutes a Company Adverse Recommendation Change unless otherwise specifically permitted by this Section 5.6, or (ii) making any “stop-look-and-listen” communication or similar communication of the type contemplated by Rule 14d-9(f) under the Exchange Act.

(g)                                  The Company agrees that it will promptly (and, in any event, within 24 hours) notify Parent if any proposals or offers with respect to an Acquisition Proposal are received by, or any non-public information is requested from, or any discussions or negotiations are sought to be initiated or continued with, the Company or any of its Representatives from or by, respectively, any Third Party indicating, in connection with such notice, the identity of the Person or group of Persons making such offer or proposal, and the material terms and conditions of any proposals or offers (including, if applicable, copies of any written requests, proposals or offers, including proposed agreements) and thereafter shall keep Parent reasonably informed, on a prompt basis, of the status and terms of any such proposals or offers (including any amendments thereto) and any material change in the status of any such discussions or negotiations.

52

(h)                                 The Company agrees that in the event any of its Representatives takes any action that, if taken by the Company, would constitute a breach of this Section 5.6, then the Company shall be deemed to be in breach of this Section 5.6.

Section 5.7                                    Public Announcements. The initial press release relating to this Agreement shall be a joint press release issued by the Company and Parent, and thereafter the Company and Parent shall consult with each other before issuing any press release or otherwise making any public statements with respect to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents and shall not issue any such press release or make any such public statement without the prior consent of the other parties hereto, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided that a party hereto may, without the prior consent of the other parties hereto, issue such press release or make such public statement as may be required by Law or Order or the applicable rules of the Nasdaq if it has used its commercially reasonable efforts to consult with the other parties hereto and to obtain such party’s consent but has been unable to do so prior to the time such press release or public statement is so required to be issued or made.

Section 5.8                                    Litigation. Without limiting the obligations of the parties hereto in Section 5.3, each of Parent, Merger Sub and the Company agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to defend any lawsuits or other legal proceedings, whether judicial or administrative, challenging, or seeking damages or other relief as a result of, the Merger, this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, including seeking to have any Order adversely affecting the ability of the parties hereto to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents entered by any court or other Governmental Entity promptly vacated or reversed; provided that, without limiting Section 5.1(b)(xxv), the Company shall give Parent the right to review and comment on all material filings or responses to be made by the Company in connection with any Merger Litigation, and the right to consult on the settlement with respect to such Merger Litigation, and the Company will in good faith take such comments into account.

Section 5.9                                    Directors’ and Officers’ Indemnification and Insurance.

(a)                                 For a period of six (6) years from and after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall indemnify, advance expenses to, and hold harmless all past and present officers and directors of the Company (“Indemnified Persons”) to the same extent and in the same manner such persons are indemnified as of the date hereof by the Company pursuant to any indemnification agreements between such Indemnified Persons and the Company, the DGCL, the Company Certificate of Incorporation and the Company Bylaws for acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Effective Time; provided that in the case of advancement of expenses, any person to whom expenses are advanced provides an undertaking, to the extent required by the DGCL, to repay such advance if it is ultimately determined that such person is not entitled to indemnification. The Certificate of Incorporation and the Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation will contain provisions with respect to exculpation, advancement and indemnification that are at least as favorable to the Indemnified Persons as those contained in the Company Certificate of Incorporation and the Company Bylaws as in effect on the date hereof, which provisions will not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified for a period of not less than six years from the Effective Time in any manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of individuals who, immediately prior to the Effective Time, were directors, officers, employees or agents of the Company, unless such a modification is required by Law.

53

(b)                                 From the Effective Time until the sixth (6th) anniversary of the Effective Time, Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall maintain in effect, for the benefit of the Indemnified Persons with respect to their acts and omissions as directors, officers, employees or agents of the Company occurring prior to the Effective Time, the existing policy of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance maintained by the Company as of the date hereof in the form delivered by the Company to Parent prior to the date hereof (the “Existing D&O Policy”), to the extent that directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage is commercially available; provided that: (i) Parent and the Surviving Corporation may substitute for the Existing D&O Policy a policy or policies of comparable coverage, including a “tail” insurance policy; and (ii) the Surviving Corporation shall not be required to pay annual premiums for the Existing D&O Policy (or for any substitute or “tail” policies) in excess of $600,000 (the “Maximum Premium”). In the event any future annual premiums for the Existing D&O Policy (or any substitute policies) exceed the Maximum Premium, the Surviving Corporation shall be entitled to reduce the amount of coverage of the Existing D&O Policy (or any substitute or “tail” policies) to the amount of coverage that can be obtained for a premium equal to the Maximum Premium.

(c)                                  The rights set forth in this Section 5.9 are in addition to, and not in limitation of, and Parent shall, and shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, enforce and honor, to the fullest extent permitted by Law for a period of six (6) years from the Effective Time, the rights otherwise available to the current officers and directors of the Company and its Subsidiaries by Law, charter, bylaw or Contract, and shall operate for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each of the Indemnified Persons and their Representatives.

(d)                                 In the event Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity in such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in either such case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Parent or the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, shall assume the obligations set forth in this Section 5.9.

54

Section 5.10                             Conveyance Taxes. The Company and Parent shall cooperate in the preparation, execution and filing of all returns, questionnaires, applications or other documents regarding any real property transfer or gains, sales, use, transfer, value added, stock transfer and stamp taxes, any transfer, recording, registration and other fees, and any similar taxes that become payable in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement that are required or permitted to be filed on or before the Effective Time.

Section 5.11                             Delisting. Each of the parties hereto agrees to cooperate with each other in taking, or causing to be taken, all actions necessary to delist the Company Common Stock from the Nasdaq and terminate registration under the Exchange Act; provided that such delisting and termination shall not be effective until or after the Effective Time.

Section 5.12                             Financing.

(a)                                 Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts to: (i) negotiate and execute definitive agreements (the “Definitive Debt Agreements”) with respect to the Debt Financing on the terms and conditions contemplated by the Debt Financing Commitment or, to the extent the financing contemplated by the Debt Financing Commitment is not available to Parent, on terms that do not contain any conditions to the receipt of such Debt Financing that are materially less favorable, in the aggregate, to Parent and the Company (as determined in the reasonable judgment of Parent, and with such determination based in part on the relevant closing conditions) than the terms of the Debt Financing Commitment and subject to the additional limitations set forth in Section 5.12(c), (ii) satisfy on a timely basis all conditions set forth in the Debt Financing Commitment (and the Definitive Debt Agreements) applicable to Parent and Merger Sub that are within their control, (iii) obtain, at or prior to the Closing Date, the financing necessary such that Parent and Merger Sub, in either case, will have at and after the Closing funds sufficient to pay all of the amounts payable under Article I or otherwise in connection with the Merger and all fees and expenses of the parties hereto associated with the consummation of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby and (iv) comply with Parent’s and Merger Sub’s obligations under the Debt Financing Commitment (and the Definitive Debt Agreements) and not take or fail to take any action that would reasonably be expected to prevent or delay the availability of the Financing on the terms and conditions contemplated by the Financing Commitments.

Section 5.14                             Section 280G Matters. Parent and Merger Sub shall use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate any “parachute payments” (within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code) to “disqualified individuals” (within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code) of the Company, which efforts may include analyses with respect to reasonable compensation and the valuation of noncompetition agreements; provided that none of Parent, any Subsidiary of Parent and the Company shall be required to gross-up or otherwise reimburse any such individual for any excess Tax liability relating to any such “parachute payments.”

Section 5.15                             Employee Benefits.

(b)                                 Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to (i) require or guarantee employment for any period of time for, or preclude the ability of Parent or the Surviving Corporation or any of their Affiliates to terminate, any Continuing Employee at any time and for any or no reason, (ii) require Parent or the Surviving Corporation to establish or continue any benefit or compensation plan, program, agreement or arrangement or prevent the amendment, modification or termination thereof at any time, or (iii) establish or amend any benefit or compensation plan, program, agreement or arrangement.  The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that this Section 5.15 is included in this Agreement for the sole benefit of the parties hereto, and that nothing in this Agreement, whether express or implied, shall be construed to create any third-party beneficiary or other rights in any other Person, including any employees or former employees of the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates or any Continuing Employee, or any dependent or beneficiary thereof, other than the parties hereto.

64

(d)                                 Parent Termination Fee.

(i)                                     In the event (A) the conditions to Closing set forth in Section 6.1 and Section 6.2 have been satisfied or waived (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing and that would be capable of being satisfied if there were a Closing), (B) Parent fails to complete the Closing and (C) the Company terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1(h) (Parent Breach) or Section 7.1(i) (Failure to Close) by sending a notice of termination that includes a demand, which demand shall be irrevocable, to receive the Parent Termination Fee.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, and without limiting the Company’s right to seek specific performance pursuant to Section 8.8, and other than in the case of fraud, the Company’s right to receive the Parent Termination Fee pursuant to this Section 7.2(d)(i) shall be of no further force or effect if the Company makes any demand or claim for damages suffered as a result of the failure of the Merger to be consummated or for a breach or failure to perform hereunder under the Limited Guarantee or otherwise in any Action against any member of the Parent Group other than for the payment of the Parent Termination Fee.

(ii)                                  For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall Parent be obligated to pay, or cause to be paid, the Parent Termination Fee on more than one occasion.

Section 7.4                                    Amendment. This Agreement may be amended by the parties hereto in writing by action of their respective Boards of Directors at any time before or after the Company Required Vote has been obtained and prior to the filing of the Certificate of Merger with the Delaware Secretary; provided that, after the Company Required Vote shall have been obtained, no such amendment, modification or supplement shall be made that by Law requires the further approval of the Company Common Stockholders without such further approval. This Agreement may not be amended, changed or supplemented or otherwise modified except by an instrument in writing signed on behalf of all of the parties hereto.

Section 7.5                                    Extension; Waiver.

Any agreement on the part of a party to any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed on behalf of the party hereto against whom the waiver is to be effective. The failure of any party hereto to assert any of its rights under this Agreement or otherwise shall not constitute a waiver of those rights.

(c)                                  Acknowledgement Regarding Available Remedies. Solely to the extent that the right of specific performance is explicitly applicable under the terms of this Section 8.8, the parties hereto agree that irreparable damage for which monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy would occur in the event that the parties hereto do not perform their obligations under the provisions of this Agreement (including failing to take such actions as are required of them hereunder to consummate the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement) in accordance with its specified terms or otherwise breach such provisions. Solely to the extent that the right of specific performance is explicitly applicable under the terms of this Section 8.8, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the parties hereto shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions, specific performance or other equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof in the courts described in Section 8.10 without proof of damages or otherwise, and that such explicit rights of specific enforcement are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and without such rights, none of the Company, Parent or Merger Sub would have entered into this Agreement. Each party agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief on the basis that the other parties hereto have an adequate remedy at law or an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or in equity to the extent that the right of specific performance is explicitly applicable under the terms of this Section 8.8. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that any party seeking an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement (to the extent that the right of specific performance is explicitly applicable under the terms of this Section 8.8) shall not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with any such order or injunction.

71

(d)                                 Sole Remedy.

Section 8.9                                    Severability. Any term or provision of this Agreement that is invalid or unenforceable shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining terms and provision hereof. If the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction declares that any term or provision hereof is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the parties hereto agree that the court making such determination shall have the power to limit the term or provision, to delete specific words or phrases, or to replace any invalid, illegal or unenforceable term or provision with a term or provision that is valid, legal and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable term or provision, and this Agreement shall be enforceable as so modified. In the event such court does not exercise the power granted to it in the prior sentence, the parties hereto agree to replace such invalid, illegal or unenforceable term or provision with a valid, legal and enforceable term or provision that will achieve, to the extent possible, the economic, business and other purposes of such invalid, illegal or unenforceable term.

Nothing in this Section 8.10 shall affect the right of any party hereto to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by Law.

(c)                                  Notwithstanding the foregoing, each of the parties hereto agrees that it will not bring or support, or permit any of its Affiliates to bring or support, any action, whether in law or in equity, whether in contract or in tort or otherwise, against any Lender Party in any way relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, including any dispute arising out of or relating in any way to the Debt Financing Commitment or the performance thereof, in any forum other than the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York, or, if under applicable legal requirement exclusive jurisdiction is vested in the federal courts, the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (and the appellate courts thereof), and that the provisions of Section 8.11 relating to the waiver of jury trial shall apply to any such action.
