ARTICLE I

THE OFFER AND THE MERGER

Section 1.1                                    The Offer.

(a)                                 Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement (including Article VII), as promptly as reasonably practicable following the date hereof, but in any event no later than the tenth (10th) Business Day after the date of this Agreement, Merger Sub shall, and Parent shall cause Merger Sub to, commence, within the meaning of Rule 14d-2 under the Exchange Act, the Offer.  The obligations of Merger Sub to, and of Parent to cause Merger Sub to, accept for payment, and pay for, any shares of Common Stock validly tendered pursuant to the Offer are subject only to the satisfaction or waiver (to the extent permitted under this Agreement) of the conditions set forth in Annex I (as they may be amended in accordance with this Agreement, the “Offer Conditions”).

(b)                                 To the extent permitted by Law, Parent and Merger Sub reserve the right, at any time, to waive, in whole or in part, any Offer Condition (other than the Minimum Condition), to increase the Offer Price or to modify the terms of the Offer, in each case only in a manner not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement; provided, however, that, without the prior written consent of the Company, neither Parent nor Merger Sub shall (i) reduce the maximum number of shares of Common Stock sought to be purchased in the Offer, (ii) reduce the Offer Price or change the form of consideration payable in the Offer, (iii) change, modify or waive the Minimum Condition, (iv) impose conditions to the Offer that are different than or in addition to the Offer Conditions, (v) modify or amend any existing Offer Condition in a manner that is adverse to the holders of Common Stock or that would, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to prevent or materially delay the consummation of the Offer or the Merger or impair the ability of Parent or Merger Sub to consummate the Offer, (vi) except as otherwise required or expressly permitted by Section 1.1(d) extend or otherwise change the Expiration Time, (vii) provide for any “subsequent offering period” within the meaning of Rule

2

14d-11 under the Exchange Act or (viii) otherwise amend, modify or supplement the Offer in any manner adverse to the holders of Common Stock or in any manner that delays or unreasonably interferes with, hinders or impairs the consummation of the Offer.  Subject to Section 1.1(g), the Offer may not be terminated prior to its scheduled Expiration Time, unless this Agreement is terminated in accordance with Article VII.

(c)                                  The Offer shall initially expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date that is twenty-one (21) Business Days (calculated in accordance with Rule 14d-1(g)(3) under the Exchange Act) following the commencement of the Offer (such initial expiration date and time of the Offer, the “Initial Expiration Time”) or, if the Offer has been extended pursuant to and in accordance with Section 1.1(d), the date and time to which the Offer has been so extended (the Initial Expiration Time, or such later expiration date and time to which the Offer has been so extended, the “Expiration Time”).

(d)                                 Subject to Article VII, Merger Sub may or shall, as applicable, extend the Offer from time to time as follows:

(i)                                     for the period as required by any applicable Law, including any rule, regulation, interpretation or position of the SEC, the staff thereof or the Applicable Exchange;

(ii)                                  if, at the then-scheduled Expiration Time, the Company brings or shall have brought any Legal Action in accordance with Section 8.15 to enforce specifically the performance of the terms and provisions of this Agreement by Parent or Merger Sub, the Expiration Time shall be extended (A) for the period during which such action is pending or (B) by such other time period established by the Governmental Authority presiding over such action, as the case may be, but, in each case of clauses (A) and (B), not past the Termination Date (for the avoidance of doubt, as the Termination Date may be extended pursuant to Section 7.2(a));

(iii)                               subject to Section 7.7(a), if, at the then-scheduled Expiration Time, any of the Offer Conditions has not either been (A) satisfied or (B) waived by Parent and Merger Sub (to the extent such waiver is permitted under this Agreement and applicable Law), then Merger Sub shall, and Parent shall cause Merger Sub to, extend the Offer on one or more occasions in consecutive periods of five (5) Business Days each (with each such period to end at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the last Business Day of such period) (or such other duration as may be agreed to by Parent and the Company) in order to permit the satisfaction of such Offer Conditions; provided, however, that Merger Sub shall not be required to extend the Offer to a date later than the Termination Date (for the avoidance of doubt, as the Termination Date may be extended pursuant to Section 7.2(a)) unless Parent or Merger Sub is not then permitted to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.2(a), in which case Merger Sub shall be required to extend the Offer beyond the Termination Date; or

(iv)                              if, at the then-scheduled Expiration Time, (A) the full amount of the Debt Financing has not been funded and will not be available to be funded at the Offer Closing and the Closing and (B) Parent and Merger Sub acknowledge and

3

agree in writing that, if all Offer Conditions had been satisfied at the then scheduled Expiration Time, the Company would have been entitled to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.4(e) and receive the Parent Termination Fee, Merger Sub shall have the right in its sole discretion to extend the Offer on up to three occasions in consecutive increments of five (5) Business Days each (with each such period to end at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the last Business Day of such period) (or such other duration as may be agreed to by Parent and the Company); provided, that Merger Sub shall not be permitted to extend the Offer to a date later than the Termination Date (for the avoidance of doubt, as the Termination Date may be extended pursuant to Section 7.2(a)).

Merger Sub shall not, and Parent shall not permit Merger Sub to, extend the Offer in any manner except as required or permitted pursuant to this Section 1.1(d).

(e)                                  On the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, including satisfaction or waiver of all of the Offer Conditions, (i) prior to 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Business Day (determined using Rule 14d-1(g)(3) under the Exchange Act) immediately following the Expiration Time, Merger Sub shall, and Parent shall cause Merger Sub to, irrevocably accept for payment (the time of acceptance for payment, the “Offer Acceptance Time”) all shares of Common Stock validly tendered and not properly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer and (ii) at or as promptly as practicable following the Offer Acceptance Time (but in any event within three (3) Business Days (calculated as set forth in Rule 14d-1(g)(3) under the Exchange Act) thereafter) Merger Sub shall, and Parent shall cause Merger Sub to, pay for all shares of Common Stock validly tendered and not properly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer; provided, that with respect to shares of Common Stock tendered pursuant to guaranteed delivery procedures that have not yet been delivered in settlement or satisfaction of such guarantee, Merger Sub shall be under no obligation to make any payment for such shares unless and until such shares are delivered in settlement or satisfaction of such guarantee.  Parent shall provide or cause to be provided to Merger Sub, at the Offer Acceptance Time, the funds that, when taken together with available cash of the Company and its Subsidiaries, are necessary to purchase any shares of Common Stock that Merger Sub becomes obligated to purchase pursuant to the Offer, and shall cause Merger Sub to fulfill all of Merger Sub’s obligations under this Agreement.

(f)                                   The Offer Price payable in respect of each share of Common Stock shall be paid on the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement.  The Company agrees that no shares of Common Stock held by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries will be tendered pursuant to the Offer.

(g)                                  Unless this Agreement is terminated in accordance with Article VII, neither Parent nor Merger Sub shall terminate or withdraw the Offer prior to any scheduled Expiration Time without the prior written consent of the Company in its sole discretion.  In the event this Agreement is terminated in accordance with Article VII, Merger Sub shall promptly (and in any event within one (1) Business Day) following such termination irrevocably and unconditionally terminate the Offer and shall not acquire any shares of Common Stock pursuant thereto.  If the Offer or this Agreement is terminated in accordance with this Agreement, Merger Sub shall promptly return, or cause any depositary acting on behalf of

4

Merger Sub to promptly return, all tendered shares to the tendering stockholders in accordance with applicable Law.

(h)                                 Subject to the obligations of the Company and its Subsidiaries pursuant to Section 5.1, the Offer Price shall be adjusted appropriately and proportionately to reflect the effect of any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend (including any dividend or other distribution of securities convertible into Common Stock), reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, combination, exchange of shares or other similar change with respect to the Common Stock occurring on or after the date of this Agreement and at or prior to the Offer Acceptance Time, and such adjustment to the Offer Price shall provide to the holders of shares of Common Stock the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such action.

(i)                                     On the date of commencement of the Offer, Parent and Merger Sub shall file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) a Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO with respect to the Offer (together with all amendments and supplements thereto and including exhibits thereto, the “Schedule TO”), which shall contain or incorporate by reference an offer to purchase and a related letter of transmittal and other appropriate ancillary offer documents (such Schedule TO and the documents included therein pursuant to which the Offer will be made, together with any supplements or amendments thereto, the “Offer Documents”), and cause the Offer Documents to be disseminated to the holders of the Common Stock as and to the extent required by United States federal securities laws.  The Company shall promptly furnish or otherwise make available to Parent or Parent’s legal counsel upon request all information concerning the Company and its Subsidiaries that may be reasonably requested by Parent for inclusion in the Offer Documents.  Each of Parent, Merger Sub and the Company shall promptly correct any information supplied by it for inclusion or incorporation by reference in the Offer Documents if and to the extent that such information shall have become false or misleading in any material respect, and each of Parent and Merger Sub shall take all steps necessary and use all reasonable efforts to promptly amend or supplement the Offer Documents and to cause the Offer Documents as so amended or supplemented to be filed with the SEC and disseminated to the holders of the Common Stock, in each case as and to the extent required by applicable Law.  The Company and its counsel shall be given a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on the Schedule TO and the Offer Documents each time before any such document is filed with the SEC, and Parent and Merger Sub shall include in such document (and any amendments thereto) all comments proposed by the Company and its counsel and acceptable to Parent and Merger Sub and their counsel, in each case acting reasonably.  Parent and Merger Sub shall provide the Company and its counsel with (A) any comments or other communications, whether written or oral, that Parent or Merger Sub or their counsel may receive from time to time from the SEC or its staff or other Governmental Authorities with respect to the Schedule TO or the Offer Documents promptly after receipt of those comments or other communications and (B) a reasonable opportunity to participate in the response of Parent and Merger Sub to those comments and to provide comments on that response (which response shall include all comments proposed by the Company and its counsel and acceptable to Parent and Merger Sub and their counsel, in each case acting reasonably), including by offering the Company an opportunity to participate with Parent, Merger Sub or their counsel in any material discussions or meetings with the SEC or other Governmental Authorities to the extent such participation is not prohibited by

Section 2.1                                    Conversion of Capital Stock.  At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or the holder of any shares of capital stock of Merger Sub or the Company:

(a)                                 Conversion of Merger Sub Capital Stock.  Each share of capital stock of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately before the Effective Time shall be converted into and become one fully paid and non-assessable share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Surviving Corporation.

(b)                                 Cancellation of Certain Shares.  Each share of Common Stock owned by the Company as treasury stock, or owned by Parent or Merger Sub (including any shares of Common Stock acquired by Merger Sub in the Offer), in each case, both at the commencement of the Offer and immediately before the Effective Time (collectively, the “Excluded Shares”), shall be canceled automatically, be extinguished and shall cease to exist, and no consideration shall be paid for those Excluded Shares.

(c)                                  Conversion of Common Stock.

(i)                                     Each share of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately before the Effective Time (other than Excluded Shares and Dissenting Shares) shall be converted automatically into and shall thereafter represent only the right to receive the Offer Price (the “Merger Consideration”) payable to the holders thereof, without interest, in accordance with Section 2.2.

(ii)                                  All shares of Common Stock that have been converted pursuant to Section 2.1(c)(i) shall be canceled automatically and shall be extinguished and cease to exist, and the holders of (A) certificates which immediately before the Effective Time represented such shares (the “Certificates”) or (B) shares represented by book-entry immediately before the Effective Time (the “Book-Entry Shares”) shall cease to have any rights with respect to those shares, other than the right to receive the Merger Consideration in accordance with Section 2.2 and (subject to Section 5.1) any dividends or other distributions with a record date prior to the Effective Time which may have been authorized by the Company and which remain unpaid at the Effective Time.

(iii)                               Each share of Common Stock owned by any of the direct or indirect wholly-owned Subsidiaries of the Company shall be automatically converted into common stock of the Surviving Corporation.

(d)                                 Equitable Adjustment.  If at any time during the period between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time, any change in the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall occur as a result of any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend (including any dividend or other distribution of securities convertible into Common Stock), reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, combination, exchange of shares or

9

other similar change with respect to the Common Stock, then the Merger Consideration and any other amount based on the number of shares of Common Stock shall be equitably adjusted, without duplication of any adjustment made pursuant to Section 1.1(h) to reflect such change.

Section 2.2                                    Surrender of Certificates and Book-Entry Shares.

(a)                                 Paying Agent.  Not less than three (3) Business Days before the Effective Time, Parent shall (i) select a bank or trust company, reasonably acceptable to the Company, to act as agent for the stockholders to receive the Merger Consideration to which they shall have become entitled to pursuant to Section 2.1(c)(i) (the “Paying Agent”) and (ii) enter into a paying agent agreement with the Paying Agent in customary form reasonably acceptable to the Company.  The Company shall be responsible for all Expenses of the Paying Agent.

(b)                                 Payment Fund.  At or prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall deposit, or cause to be deposited, with the Paying Agent, for the benefit of the holders of Certificates and Book-Entry Shares, for payment in accordance with this Article II through the Paying Agent, sufficient funds for the payment of the aggregate Merger Consideration and other amounts payable under Article II.  Such funds provided to the Paying Agent are referred to as the “Payment Fund.”

(c)                                  Payment Procedures.

(i)                                     Letter of Transmittal.  As promptly as practicable following the Effective Time, but no later than five (5) Business Days following the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Paying Agent to mail to each holder of record of a share of Common Stock converted pursuant to Section 2.1(c)(i) (A) a letter of transmittal in customary form, specifying that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to such holder’s shares shall pass, only upon proper delivery of Certificates to the Paying Agent or, in the case of Book-Entry Shares, upon adherence to the procedures set forth in the letter of transmittal and (B) instructions for surrendering such Certificates or Book-Entry Shares in exchange for the Merger Consideration.

(ii)                                  Surrender of Shares.  Upon surrender of a Certificate or of a Book-Entry Share for cancellation to the Paying Agent, together with a duly executed letter of transmittal and any other documents reasonably required by the Paying Agent, the holder of that Certificate or Book-Entry Share shall be entitled to receive, and the Paying Agent shall promptly pay in exchange therefor, the Merger Consideration payable in respect of the number of shares formerly evidenced by that Certificate or such Book-Entry Share less any required withholding of Taxes.  Any Certificates and Book-Entry Shares so surrendered shall be canceled immediately.  No interest shall accrue or be paid on any amount payable upon surrender of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares.

(iii)                               Unregistered Transferees.  If any Merger Consideration is to be paid and issued to a Person other than the Person in whose name the surrendered Certificate or Book-Entry Share is registered, then the Merger Consideration may be paid or issued to such a transferee so long as (A) the surrendered Certificate or Book-Entry Share, as applicable, shall be properly endorsed and presented to the Paying Agent or shall otherwise be in proper form for transfer and is accompanied by all documents reasonably required to evidence and effect such

10

transfer and (B) the Person requesting such payment or issuance (x) pays any applicable transfer Taxes or (y) establishes to the reasonable satisfaction of Parent and the Paying Agent that all such transfer Taxes have already been paid or are not applicable.

(iv)                              No Other Rights.  Until surrendered in accordance with this Section 2.2(c), each Certificate and each Book-Entry Share in respect of shares of Common Stock converted into the right to receive Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.1(c)(i) shall be deemed, from and after the Effective Time, to represent only the right to receive the Merger Consideration, subject to the Surviving Corporation’s obligation (subject to Section 5.1) to pay any dividends or other distributions with a record date prior to the Effective Time which may have been authorized by the Company and which remain unpaid at the Effective Time.  The Merger Consideration paid and issued upon the surrender of any Certificate or Book-Entry Share in accordance with the terms of this Article II shall be deemed to have been paid and issued in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such Certificate or Book-Entry Share and, in the case of a Certificate, the shares of Common Stock formerly represented by it.

(d)                                 Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates.  If any Certificate is lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if reasonably required by the Surviving Corporation (including if requested by the Paying Agent), the execution and delivery by such Person of a customary indemnity agreement to provide indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, the Paying Agent shall pay the Merger Consideration to such Person in respect of the shares of Common Stock represented by such Certificate.

(e)                                  No Further Transfers.  At the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed and there shall be no further registration of transfers of the shares of Common Stock that were outstanding immediately before the Effective Time.

contemplated, and none of the respective obligations and commitments contained in such letters have been withdrawn, terminated or rescinded in any respect and, to the Knowledge of Parent, no such withdrawal, termination or rescission is contemplated.  Assuming (i) the Financing is funded in accordance with the Financing Letters and (ii) the satisfaction of the Offer Conditions, the net proceeds contemplated by the Financing Letters (after netting out applicable 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 Commitment Letter), will in the aggregate be sufficient for Merger Sub and the Surviving Corporation to pay the aggregate Offer Price and Merger Consideration (and any repayment or refinancing of debt contemplated by this Agreement, the Equity Commitment Letter or the Debt Commitment Letter) and any other amounts required to be paid in connection with the consummation of the Transactions (including all amounts payable in respect of Company Equity Awards under this Agreement) and to pay all related Expenses payable on the Closing Date by them in connection with the Transactions (such amount collectively, the “Required Amount”).  As of the date of this Agreement, the Financing Letters are (x) legal, valid and binding obligations of Parent and Merger Sub, as applicable, and, to the Knowledge of Parent, each of the other parties thereto, (y) enforceable in accordance with their respective terms against Parent and Merger Sub, as applicable, and, to the Knowledge of Parent, each of the other parties thereto, in each case subject to the Enforceability Exceptions and (z) in full force and effect.  As of the date of this Agreement, no event has occurred that, with or without notice, lapse of time or both, would reasonably be expected to constitute a default or breach on the part of Parent or Merger Sub or, to the Knowledge of Parent, any other parties thereto under the Equity Commitment Letter or the Debt Commitment Letter.  Assuming satisfaction or waiver of the conditions to Parent’s and Merger Sub’s obligations to consummate the Offer and the Merger, Parent does not have any reason to believe that the conditions precedent set forth in the Financing Letters will not be satisfied or that the Required Amount will not be available on the Closing Date.  The only conditions precedent (including the market “flex” provisions) related to the obligations of the Guarantor to fund the full amount of the Equity Financing and the lenders to fund the full amount of the Debt Financing are those expressly set forth in the Equity Commitment Letter and the Debt Commitment Letter, respectively.  There are no side letters or other Contracts or arrangements (except for a customary fee letter, fee credit letter and engagement letter) to which Parent or any of its Affiliates is a party related to the Financing other than as expressly contained in the Financing Letters delivered to the Company prior to the date of this Agreement that would (A) impair the enforceability of any of the Financing Letters, (B) reduce the aggregate amount of any portion of the Financing (including by increasing the amount of fees to be paid or original issue discount as compared to the fees and original issue discount contemplated by the Financing Letters on the date of this Agreement) such that the aggregate amount of the Financing would be below the amount required to pay the Required Amount, (C) impose new or additional conditions precedent to the Financing, (D) otherwise adversely modify any of the conditions precedent to the Financing or (E) reasonably be expected to prevent, impair or delay the consummation of the Financing.

41

effect to the Transactions and the payment of the aggregate Offer Price and Merger Consideration, any other repayment or refinancing of debt contemplated in this Agreement or the Financing Letters and payment of the Required Amount and (b) the representations and warranties of the Company in Article III are accurate, the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis will be Solvent as of the Offer Acceptance Time and as of the Effective Time and immediately after the consummation of the applicable Transactions.

warranty with respect to statements made or incorporated by reference therein based on information supplied by or on behalf of the Company or any Affiliates thereof for inclusion or incorporation by reference in the Offer Documents.

(e)                                  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 5.4(d), in response to a written Takeover Proposal received by the Company Board after the date of this Agreement that did not result from a breach of this Section 5.4 and that the Company

50

Board has determined in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisors and outside legal counsel, that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes, or could reasonably be expected to lead to, a Superior Proposal, the Company Board may, at any time prior to the Offer Acceptance Time, make an Adverse Recommendation Change or terminate this Agreement to enter into an Alternative Acquisition Agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal in accordance with Section 7.4(a), or authorize, resolve, agree or propose publicly to take any such action, only if all of the following conditions are met:

(ii)                                  the Company Board shall have determined, in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisors and outside legal counsel, that, in light of such Superior Proposal and taking into account any revised terms proposed by Parent, such Superior Proposal continues to constitute a Superior Proposal and that the failure to make such Adverse Recommendation Change or to so terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 7.4(a), as applicable, would be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law.

(f)                                   Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 5.4(d), upon the occurrence of any Intervening Event, the Company Board may, at any time prior to the Offer Acceptance Time, make an Adverse Recommendation Change, or authorize, resolve, agree or propose publicly to take any such action, only if all of the following conditions are met:

51

Parent, engaged in good faith negotiations, and cause its Representatives to engage in good faith negotiations with Parent’s Representatives, with Parent during such five (5) Business Day period to amend this Agreement in such a manner that the failure of the Company Board to make an Adverse Recommendation Change in response to the Intervening Event in accordance with clause (ii) below would no longer be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law; and

(ii)                                  the Company Board shall have determined in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that in light of such Intervening Event and taking into account any revised terms proposed by Parent, the failure to make an Adverse Recommendation Change would be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law.

(g)                                  Nothing contained in this Agreement shall prohibit the Company or the Company Board, directly or indirectly through their respective Representatives, from (i) taking and disclosing to the stockholders of the Company any position contemplated by Rule 14d-9, Rule 14e-2(a) or Item 1012(a) of Regulation M-A promulgated under the Exchange Act, (ii) making any “stop, look and listen” communication to the Company’s stockholders pursuant to Rule 14d-9(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act or (iii) making any disclosure to the stockholders of the Company that is required by applicable Law, after consulting with outside legal counsel; provided, that this Section 5.4(g) shall not be deemed to permit the Company Board to make an Adverse Recommendation Change except to the extent otherwise permitted by this Section 5.4.

(a)                                 For a period of not less than one year following the Effective Time (the “Continuation Period”), Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective Affiliates to, provide to each individual who, immediately prior to the Effective Time is an employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (each, an “Employee”) (i) a salary or hourly wage rate that is not less than that provided to such Employee immediately prior to the Effective Time, (ii) incentive pay opportunities, including bonus and commission opportunities, but not including equity and equity-based awards that are no less favorable than those provided to such Employee immediately prior to the Effective Time, and (iii) other compensation and employee benefits (excluding equity and equity-based awards which will remain discretionary) that are no less favorable in the aggregate, determined on an individual basis, than those provided to such Employee under the compensation and benefit plans, programs, policies, agreements and arrangements of the Company and its Subsidiaries in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time.  This Section 5.5(a) shall not apply to Employees whose terms and conditions of employment are governed by a collective bargaining or similar agreement, in which case the terms of the applicable collective bargaining or similar agreement shall apply.

(b)                                 Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation and each of their respective Affiliates to, honor all Company Benefit Plans (including all severance, change of control and similar plans and agreements, including the arrangements set forth on Section 5.5(b) of the Company Disclosure Letter) in accordance with their terms as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, subject to any amendment or termination thereof that may be

permitted by such Company Benefit Plans and except as provided herein.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, for the later of the duration of the Continuation Period or the remaining term of any individual employment, severance or separation agreement in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation or their respective Affiliates to, provide each Employee who suffers a termination of employment under circumstances that would have given the Employee a right to severance payments and benefits under the Company’s or any of the Company’s Subsidiaries’ severance policy or individual employment, severance or separation agreement or other arrangement in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time (each, a “Company Severance Plan”) with severance payments and benefits no less favorable than those that would have been provided to such Employee under any Company Severance Plan.

(c)                                  For all purposes under all employee benefit plans of Parent, the Surviving Corporation and their respective Affiliates providing benefits to any Employee after the Effective Time (the “New Plans”), each Employee shall receive full credit for such Employee’s years of service with the Company and its Subsidiaries before the Effective Time (including predecessor or acquired entities or any other entities for which the Company and its Subsidiaries have given credit for prior service), to the same extent as such Employee was entitled, prior to the Effective Time, to credit for such service under any similar or comparable Company Benefit Plan (except to the extent such credit would result in a duplication of accrual of benefits).  In addition, where applicable, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing:  (i) at the Effective Time, each Employee shall be immediately eligible to participate, without any waiting time, in each New Plan to the extent such waiting time was satisfied under a similar or comparable Company Benefit Plan in which such Employee participated immediately before the Effective Time (such plans, collectively, the “Old Plans”), (ii) Parent shall cause all pre-existing condition exclusions or limitations and actively-at-work requirements of each New Plan to be waived or satisfied for such Employee and his or her covered dependents to the extent waived or satisfied under the analogous Old Plan as of the Effective Time and (iii) Parent shall cause all eligible expenses incurred by each Employee and his or her covered dependents during the portion of the plan year of the Old Plan ending on the date such Employee’s participation in the corresponding New Plan begins to be taken into account under such New Plan for purposes of satisfying all deductible, coinsurance and maximum out-of-pocket requirements applicable to such Employee and his or her covered dependents for the applicable plan year as if such amounts had been paid in accordance with such New Plan.

(d)                                 With respect to any earned but unused vacation or other paid time off to which any Employee is entitled pursuant to the vacation or other paid time off policy or individual agreement or other arrangement applicable to such Employee immediately prior to the Effective Time (the “Vacation/PTO Policy”), Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective Affiliates to, (i) allow such Employee to use such earned vacation or other paid time off in accordance with the Vacation/PTO Policy and (ii) if any Employee’s employment terminates during the Continuation Period under circumstances entitling the Employee to severance pay under the Company Severance Plan, pay the Employee, in cash, an amount equal to the value of the earned vacation or other paid time off.

(a)                                 From and after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall, and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, in accordance with the Company Organizational Documents in effect on the date hereof, (i) indemnify and hold harmless, and advance expenses to, each individual who at the Effective Time is, or at any time prior to the Effective Time was, a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company or of a Subsidiary of the Company (each, an “Indemnitee” and, collectively, the “Indemnitees”) with respect to Damages (including amounts paid in settlement or compromise) and Expenses (including those of legal counsel) in connection with any Legal Action (including as may be administrative or investigative), whenever asserted, based on or arising out of, in whole or in part, (A) the fact that an Indemnitee is or was a director or officer of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or was acting in such capacity, or (B) acts or omissions by an Indemnitee in the Indemnitee’s capacity as a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or taken at the request of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (including in connection with serving at the request of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries as a representative of another Person (including any employee benefit plan)), in each case under clause (A) or (B), at, or at any time prior to, the Effective Time (including any Legal Action (including as may be administrative or investigative) relating in whole or in part to the Transactions or relating to the enforcement of this provision) and (ii) assume all obligations of the Company and such Subsidiaries to the Indemnitees in respect of indemnification, advancement of expenses and exculpation from Liabilities for acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Effective Time as provided in the Company Organizational Documents as in effect on the date of this Agreement or in any agreement in existence as of the date of this Agreement, as specified in Section 5.6(a) of the Company Disclosure Letter, providing for indemnification between the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and any Indemnitee.  Without limiting the foregoing, Parent, from and after the Effective Time, shall cause, unless otherwise required by Law, the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Surviving Corporation to contain provisions no less favorable to the Indemnitees with respect to limitation of liabilities of directors and officers and indemnification than are set forth as of the date of this Agreement in the Company Organizational Documents, which provisions shall not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified in a manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of the Indemnitees.

(b)                                 In the event of any Legal Action (including as may be administrative or investigative) related to the acts or omissions covered under this Section 5.6 (each, a “Claim”) (i) the Surviving Corporation shall cooperate with the Indemnitee and its insurer in the defense of any such Claim and (ii) the Surviving Corporation shall not settle, compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any Claim pending or threatened in

54

writing to which an Indemnitee is a party (and in respect of which indemnification could be sought by such Indemnitee hereunder), unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of such Indemnitee from all Liability arising out of such Claim or the Indemnitee otherwise consents.

(c)                                  Parent shall obtain, or cause to be obtained, as of the Effective Time, a “tail” insurance policy with a claims period of six (6) years after the Effective Time with respect to directors’ and officers’ Liability insurance covering those Persons who are currently (and any additional Persons who prior to the Effective Time become) covered by the Company’s directors’ and officers’ Liability insurance policy for acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Effective Time on terms and scope with respect to such coverage, and in amount, no less favorable to such Persons than those of such policy in effect on the date of this Agreement, which insurance shall, prior to the Effective Time, be in effect and prepaid for such six (6)-year period; provided, however, that, in no event shall the total cost for such prepaid “tail” insurance policy exceed 250% of the annual premium paid as of the date hereof by the Company for such insurance (the “Premium Cap”), and if the total cost for such prepaid “tail” policy exceeds the Premium Cap, then Parent may obtain, or cause to be obtained, a prepaid “tail” policy with the maximum coverage available for a total cost of the Premium Cap.  If Parent for any reason fails to obtain or cause to be obtained such “tail” insurance policy as of the Effective Time, Parent shall continue, or cause to be continued, to maintain in effect, for a period of at least six (6) years from and after the Effective Time, the directors’ and officers’ Liability insurance in place as of the date of this Agreement with the Company’s current insurance carrier or with an insurance carrier with the same or better credit rating as the Company’s current directors’ and officers’ Liability insurance carrier.

(d)                                 The covenants contained in this Section 5.6 are intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each of the Indemnitees and their respective heirs and legal representatives and shall not be deemed exclusive of, or in substitution for, any other rights to which an Indemnitee is entitled, whether pursuant to Law, Contract or otherwise.  The obligations of Parent and the Surviving Corporation under this Section 5.6 shall not be terminated or modified in such a manner as to adversely affect the rights of any Indemnitee to whom this Section 5.6 applies unless (x) such termination or modification is required by applicable Law or (y) the affected Indemnitee shall have consented in writing to such termination or modification (it being expressly agreed that the Indemnitees to whom this Section 5.6 applies shall be third party beneficiaries of this Section 5.6).

(e)                                  In the event that Parent or the Surviving Corporation or any of its successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers or conveys all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall take all necessary action so that the successors or assigns of Parent or the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, shall succeed to the obligations set forth in this Section 5.6.

(f)                                   Nothing in this Agreement is intended to, shall be construed to or shall release, waive or impair any rights to directors’ and officers’ insurance claims under any

55

policy that is or has been in existence with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for any of their respective directors, officers or other employees, it being understood and agreed that the indemnification provided for in this Section 5.6 is not prior to or in substitution for any such claims under such policies.

(g)                                  Parent’s and the Surviving Corporation’s obligations under this Section 5.6 shall continue in full force and effect for a period of six (6) years from the Effective Time; provided, however, that if any Claim (whether arising before, at or after the Effective Time) is brought against an Indemnitee on or prior to the sixth (6th) anniversary of the Effective Time, the provisions of this Section 5.6 shall continue in effect until the full and final resolution of such Claim.

(c)                                  Each of the parties hereto agrees: (i) to make an appropriate filing of a Notification and Report Form pursuant to the HSR Act with respect to the Transactions within ten (10) days after the date of this Agreement, (ii) to supply as promptly as reasonably practicable any additional information and documentary material that may be requested pursuant to the HSR Act and (iii) to promptly take any and all steps necessary to avoid or eliminate each and every impediment and obtain all consents under any such Antitrust Laws that may be required by any Governmental Authority, in each case with competent jurisdiction, so as to enable the parties hereto to consummate the Transactions.  Parent shall not consent to any voluntary extension of any statutory deadline or waiting period or to any voluntary delay of the consummation of the Transactions at the behest of any Governmental Authority without the consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.  Parent shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, promptly take all reasonable actions necessary to secure the expiration or termination of any applicable waiting period under the HSR Act and resolve any objections asserted with respect to the Transactions under the Clayton Act or any other applicable Law raised by any Governmental Authority, in order to prevent the entry of, any Law or Order that would prevent, prohibit, restrict or delay the consummation of the Transactions; provided, however, that neither Parent nor any of its Affiliates shall, in any event, be required, to (A) sell, license, divest or dispose of or hold separate any material entities, assets or businesses of Parent or its Affiliates (including, after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries), (B) terminate, amend or assign existing material relationships or contractual rights or obligations of Parent or its Affiliates (including, after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries), (C) change or modify any material course of conduct regarding future operations of Parent or its Affiliates (including, after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries), (D) otherwise take actions that would limit the respective freedom of action of Parent or its Affiliates (including, after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries) with respect to, or their ability to retain, one or more of their respective material businesses, assets or rights or interests therein, (E) execute material settlements, undertakings, consent decrees, stipulations or other agreements with any Governmental Authority or with any other Person or (F) commit to take any such actions in the foregoing clauses (A) through (E) (each a “Regulatory Condition”). If any Governmental Authority requires Parent or any of its Affiliates to take any Regulatory Action by or with respect to the Company or its Subsidiaries or its or their businesses or asset,

57

and such action would constitute a breach of this Agreement, the Company may, with the prior written consent of Parent, take such action. Parent shall respond to and seek to resolve as promptly as reasonably practicable any objections asserted by any Governmental Authority with respect to the Transactions.  The parties to this Agreement shall not, and shall cause their respective Affiliates not to, take any action with the intention to, or that would reasonably be expected to, hinder or delay the expiration or termination of any waiting period under the HSR Act or the obtaining of approval of the Federal Trade Commission (the “FTC”), the Antitrust Division of the Department of Justice (the “DOJ”) as necessary.  Nothing in this Agreement shall require any party hereto to take or agree to take, or cause to be taken, any action with respect to its assets, business or operations unless the effectiveness of such agreement or action is conditioned upon the Closing.

(iii)                               causing senior management of the Company to assist in preparation for and participate in a reasonable number of investor and lender meetings (including a reasonable and limited number of one-on-one meetings and calls that are requested in advance with or by the parties acting as lead arrangers or agents for, and prospective lenders and purchasers of, the Debt Financing, including a customary high yield roadshow), presentations and sessions with rating agencies in connection with the Debt Financing at reasonable times and locations mutually agreed, and assist Parent in obtaining ratings in connection with the Debt Financing;

62

paragraph by the Company to Parent shall not be a condition to the Closing, and the Offer and the Closing is not conditioned upon Parent receiving such payoff letter.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, all such requested cooperation provided in accordance with this Section 5.11 shall not unreasonably interfere with the normal business or operations of the Company and its Subsidiaries (it being acknowledged that the required cooperation set forth in clauses (c)(i) through (xi) above shall not be deemed to unreasonably interfere) and in no event shall the Company or any of its Subsidiaries be required to bear any Expense, pay any commitment or other fee, enter into any definitive agreement, incur any other Liability, make any other payment or agree to provide any indemnity in connection with the Financing or any of the foregoing prior to the Effective Time.  In addition, nothing in this Section 5.11 shall require any action that would conflict with or violate the Company Organizational Documents or any Law or result in, prior to the Effective Time, the contravention of, or that would reasonably be expected to result in, prior to the Effective Time, a violation or breach of, or default under, any Material Contract to which the Company or its Subsidiaries is a party.  For the avoidance of doubt, none of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or their respective officers, directors (with respect to any Subsidiary of the Company) or employees shall be required to execute or enter into or perform any agreement with respect to the Financing contemplated by the Financing Letters that is not contingent upon the Closing or that would be effective prior to the Closing and no directors of the Company that will not be continuing directors, acting in such capacity, shall be required to execute or enter into or perform any agreement with respect to the Financing.  If the Closing Date does not occur, the Parent Termination Fee is not paid and Parent has not terminated this Agreement as contemplated in Section 7.3, Parent (I) shall within 30 days of written request by the Company, reimburse the Company for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket Expenses (including (A) reasonable attorneys’ fees and (B) Expenses of the Company’s accounting firms engaged to assist in connection with the Financing, including performing additional requested procedures, reviewing any offering documents, participating in any meetings and providing any comfort letters) incurred by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or their respective Representatives in connection with the Financing, including the cooperation of the Company and its Subsidiaries and Representatives contemplated by this Section (c) and (II) shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Company, its Subsidiaries and their respective Representatives from and against any and all Damages or Expenses suffered or incurred by any of them in connection with the arrangement of the Financing (including the performance of their respective obligations under, or the taking of or refraining from any action in accordance with, this Section 5.11), in each case other than to the extent any of the foregoing was suffered or incurred as a result of the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or, in each case, their respective Affiliates and Representatives.

(e)                                  Parent and Merger Sub acknowledge and agree that the obtaining of the Financing, or any Alternative Financing, is not a condition to Closing.

Section 8.10          Entire Agreement.  This Agreement (and the Exhibits and Annexes hereto), the Company Disclosure Letter, the Confidentiality Agreement and the Equity Commitment Letter (collectively, the “Related Documents”) contain all of the terms, conditions and representations and warranties agreed to by the parties relating to the subject matter of this Agreement and supersede all prior or contemporaneous agreements, negotiations, correspondence, communications, undertakings, understandings, representations and warranties, both written and oral, among the parties to this Agreement with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement.

Section 8.11          No Third-Party Beneficiaries.  Except (a) as to the Lender Related Parties, for the provisions of Section 7.5, Section 7.6, Section 8.5(b), Section 8.6, Section 8.8, this Section 8.11, Section 8.15 and Section 8.16, (b) if the Offer Acceptance Time occurs, the right of the Company’s stockholders that validly tendered their shares of Common Stock in the Offer to receive the Offer Price in respect of such shares, (c) the rights of the beneficiaries of the rights provided in Section 5.6 to the extent provided therein, (d) if the Effective Time occurs, for the rights of the holders of shares of Common Stock to receive the Merger Consideration to which they are entitled to receive in accordance with Section 2.2(c) and for the rights of the holders of Company Equity Awards to receive such amounts as provided for in Section 2.3 and (e) the rights of the Non-Party Affiliates set forth in Section 8.16, the parties hereby agree that their respective representations, warranties, covenants and agreements set forth herein are solely for the benefit of the other party hereto, in accordance with and subject to the terms of this Agreement, and this Agreement is not intended to, and does not, confer upon any Person other than the parties hereto any rights or remedies hereunder, including the right to rely upon the representations and warranties set forth herein.

Section 8.12          Severability.  The provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed severable and the invalidity or unenforceability of any provision shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions of this Agreement.  If any provision of this Agreement, or

87

the application of that provision to any Person or any circumstance, is invalid or unenforceable, then (a) a suitable and equitable provision shall be substituted for that provision in order to carry out, so far as may be valid and enforceable, the intent and purpose of the invalid or unenforceable provision and (b) the remainder of this Agreement and the application of that provision to other Persons or circumstances shall not be affected by such invalidity or unenforceability, nor shall such invalidity or unenforceability affect the validity or enforceability of that provision, or the application of that provision, in any other jurisdiction.

Section 8.13          Rules of Construction.  The parties have participated jointly in negotiating and drafting this Agreement.  If an ambiguity or a question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties, and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any provision of this Agreement.  Subject to and without limiting the introductory language to Article III and Article IV, each party to this Agreement has or may have set forth information in its respective disclosure letter in a section of such disclosure letter that corresponds to the section of this Agreement to which it relates.  The fact that any item of information is disclosed in a disclosure letter to this Agreement shall not constitute an admission by such party that such item is material, that such item would have or reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect or Parent Material Adverse Effect, as the case may be, or that the disclosure of such be construed to mean that such information is required to be disclosed by this Agreement.

Section 8.14          Assignment.  This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their permitted successors and assigns.  No party to this Agreement may assign or delegate, by operation of Law or otherwise, all or any portion of its rights or Liabilities under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other parties to this Agreement, which any such party may withhold in its absolute discretion.  Any purported assignment without such prior written consents shall be null and void.

Section 8.15          Specific Performance.

(a)           The parties to this Agreement agree that irreparable damage would occur if any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached, and that money damages or other legal remedies (including those as set forth in Section 7.3) would not be an adequate remedy for any such non-performance or breach.  It is accordingly agreed that, subject to Section 8.15(b), the parties to this Agreement shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in the Chosen Courts, without proof of damages or otherwise, this being in addition to any other remedy at law or in equity, and the parties to this Agreement hereby waive any requirement for the posting of any bond or similar collateral in connection therewith.  Each party hereto agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief on the basis that or otherwise assert that (i) the other party has an adequate remedy at law or (ii) an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or equity.

(b)           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 8.15(a), the right of the Company to seek an injunction, specific performance or other equitable remedies in

88

connection with enforcing Parent’s obligation to cause the Equity Financing to be funded (whether under this Agreement or the Equity Commitment Letter) to fund the Offer Price and the Merger Consideration and Parent’s and Merger Sub’s obligations to cause the Offer Acceptance Time to occur and to effect the Closing (but not the right of the Company to seek such injunctions, specific performance or other equitable remedies for any other reason) shall be subject to the requirements that (i) the Marketing Period has ended, (ii) with respect to the consummation of the Offer (including the payment of the Offer Price and drawing down the Equity Financing related thereto), all Offer Conditions were satisfied (other than those conditions that by their terms are to be satisfied at the Offer Acceptance Time, but subject to such conditions being able to be satisfied) or validly waived in accordance with the terms hereof at the Expiration Time, (iii) with respect to the consummation of the Merger (including the payment of the Merger Consideration and drawing down the Equity Financing related thereto) the conditions set forth in Section 6.1 were satisfied (other than those conditions that by their terms are to be satisfied at the Effective Time, but subject to such conditions being able to be satisfied) or validly waived in accordance with the terms hereof at the Effective Time, (iv) the Debt Financing (or Alternative Financing) has been funded in accordance with the terms thereof or will be funded in accordance with the terms thereof at the Closing if the Equity Financing is funded at the Closing (provided, that Parent and Merger Sub shall not be required to draw down the Equity Commitment Letter or consummate the Offer and the Closing if the Debt Financing (or Alternative Financing) is not in fact funded at Closing  and (v) the Company has irrevocably confirmed in writing to Parent that (A) if specific performance is granted and the Equity Financing and Debt Financing (or Alternative Financing) are funded, the Closing will occur substantially simultaneously with the drawdown of the Equity Financing and the Debt Financing (or Alternative Financing) and the Company has not revoked, withdrawn, modified or conditioned such confirmation and (B) the Company is prepared, willing and able to effect the Closing and the Transactions, then it would take such actions required of it by this Agreement to cause the Closing to occur. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event that this Agreement is terminated by the Company pursuant to Section 7.4(b), the Company shall not be entitled to specific performance under this Section 8.15 and the Parent Termination Fee shall be the Company’s sole and exclusive remedy, as provided by Section 7.6(d).

Section 8.16          Non-Recourse.  All Legal Actions (whether in Contract or in tort, in law or in equity) that may be based upon, arise out of or relate to this Agreement or the Related Documents or the negotiation, execution, performance or non-performance of this Agreement or the Related Documents (including any representation or warranty made in or in connection with this Agreement, the Related Documents or as an inducement to enter into this Agreement or the Related Documents) may be made by any party hereto only against the Persons that are expressly identified as parties hereto or thereto.  In no event shall any named party to this Agreement or the Related Documents have any shared or vicarious Liability for the actions or omissions of any other Person.  No Person who is not a named party to this Agreement or the Related Documents, including any director, officer, employee, incorporator, member, partner, stockholder, Affiliate, agent, attorney or Representative of any named party to this Agreement that is not itself a named party to this Agreement or any of the Related Documents, including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Lender Related Party (“Non-Party Affiliates”), shall have any Liability (whether in Contract or in tort, in law or in equity, or based upon any theory that seeks to impose Liability of an entity party against its owners or Affiliates) to any party to this

89

Agreement for any Liabilities arising under, in connection with or related to this Agreement (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not include those Liabilities arising under the Debt Financing that may be asserted by the parties thereto), the Related Documents or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of this Agreement, the Related Documents or their negotiation or execution; and each party hereto or thereto waives and releases all such liabilities, claims and obligations against any such Non-Party Affiliates.  The parties acknowledge and agree that the Non-Party Affiliates are intended third-party beneficiaries of this Section 8.16.

Section 8.17          Counterparts; Effectiveness.  This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, as if the signatures to each counterpart were upon a single instrument, and all such counterparts together shall be deemed an original of this Agreement.  Facsimile signatures or signatures received as a pdf attachment to electronic mail shall be treated as original signatures for all purposes of this Agreement.  This Agreement shall become effective when, and only when, each party hereto shall have received a counterpart signed by all of the other parties hereto.

(a)           Minimum Condition.  The number of shares of Common Stock validly tendered (and not properly withdrawn) prior to the expiration of the Offer (but excluding shares tendered pursuant to guaranteed delivery procedures that have not yet been “received”, as defined by Section 251(h)(6) of the DGCL), together with the shares of Common Stock then owned by Merger Sub, do not represent at least one share more than 50% of the then outstanding shares of Common Stock (the “Minimum Condition”).

The capitalized terms used in this Annex I shall have the meanings set forth in the Agreement to which it is annexed unless specifically defined in this Annex I.
