The Closing shall be held at the offices of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ LLP, Plaza VII, Suite 3300, ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, unless another place is agreed to in writing by the parties hereto.

SECTION 1.03 Effective Time. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, as soon as practicable on the Closing Date, the parties shall prepare and execute a certificate of merger (the “Certificate of Merger”) in accordance with the relevant provisions of the DGCL, and the Surviving Corporation shall file the same with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. The Merger shall become effective upon the filing of the Certificate of Merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware or at such subsequent time or date as Parent and the Company shall agree and specify in the Certificate of Merger (the “Effective Time”).

SECTION 1.04 Effects of the Merger. The effects of the Merger shall be as provided in this Agreement and in the applicable provisions of the DGCL. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, at the Effective Time, all the property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of the Company and Merger Sub shall vest in the Surviving Corporation, and all debts, liabilities and duties of the Company and Merger Sub shall become the debts, liabilities and duties of the Surviving Corporation, all as provided under the applicable Laws of the State of Delaware. If at any time after the Effective Time any further action is necessary to vest in the Surviving Corporation the title to all property or rights of Merger Sub or the Company, the authorized officers and directors of the Surviving Corporation are fully authorized in the name of Merger Sub or the Company, as the case may be, to take, and shall take, any and all such lawful action.

SECTION 1.05 Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws.

(a) At the Effective Time, the certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation shall be amended and restated in the Merger to read in its entirety as set forth in Exhibit A hereto and, as so amended and restated, shall be the certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter amended as provided therein or by applicable Law.

(b) At the Effective Time, the bylaws of the Company as the Surviving Corporation shall be amended and restated in the Merger to conform in their entirety to the bylaws of Merger Sub, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time (except that all references to “Merger Sub” in the bylaws of the Surviving Corporation shall be changed to refer

SECTION 1.06 Directors. The parties hereto shall take, and cause to be taken, all actions necessary so that the directors of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the directors of the Surviving Corporation until the earlier of their death, resignation or removal in accordance with the Surviving Corporation’s certificate of incorporation and the bylaws.

SECTION 1.07 Officers. The officers of the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the officers of the Surviving Corporation until the earlier of their death, resignation or removal in accordance with the Surviving Corporation’s certificate of incorporation and the bylaws.

ARTICLE II

CONVERSION OF SECURITIES; MERGER CONSIDERATION

SECTION 2.01 Effect on Capital Stock. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder of any shares of capital stock of the Company, Parent or Merger Sub:

(a) Cancellation of Parent and Merger Sub Owned Company Common Stock; Treasury Stock. Each share of Company Common Stock that is owned by Parent, Merger Sub or any other subsidiary of Parent or by the Company as treasury stock immediately prior to the Effective Time shall automatically be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist and no consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor.

(b) Conversion of Company Common Stock. Each share of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (not including, however, those shares of Company Common Stock canceled pursuant to Section 2.01(a) and Dissenting Shares) shall be converted into and become the right to receive an amount in cash, without interest, equal to $17.25 (the “Merger Consideration”). All shares of Company Common Stock that have been converted in the Merger into the right to receive the Merger Consideration shall be automatically canceled and shall cease to exist, and the holders of Certificates which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented shares of Company Common Stock shall cease to have any rights with respect to such shares other than the right to receive the Merger Consideration in accordance with Section 2.02 of this Agreement.

(c) Capital Stock of Merger Sub. Each share of capital stock of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and become one validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Surviving Corporation, and such shares shall constitute the only outstanding shares of capital stock of the Surviving Corporation as of the Effective Time.

(d) Stock Options and Restricted Stock.

(i) As of the Effective Time, each Company Stock Option shall be accelerated in full so that it becomes fully vested as of the Effective Time and shall without any action on the part of any holder of any Company Stock Option (an “Optionholder”) be canceled and the Optionholder will receive as soon as reasonably practicable following the Effective Time a cash payment (without interest) with respect thereto equal to the product of (A) the excess, if any, of the Merger Consideration over the exercise price per share of such Company Stock Option and (B) the number of shares of Company Common Stock issuable upon exercise of such Company Stock Option (collectively, the “Option Consideration”). (For the avoidance of doubt, each Company Stock Option with an exercise price at or above the Merger Consideration shall be canceled without any right to receive any consideration therefor.) The Option Consideration shall be reduced by any withholding or other Taxes that may be due as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Section 2.01.

(ii) As of the Effective Time, the restrictions on each restricted share of Company Common Stock (collectively, the “Company Restricted Stock”) granted and then outstanding under the Company Stock Plans shall, without any action on the part of the holder thereof, lapse immediately prior to the Effective Time, and each such share of Company Restricted Stock shall be fully vested in each holder thereof at such time, and each such share of Company Restricted Stock will be treated at the Effective Time the same as, and have the same rights, including the right to receive the Merger Consideration, and be subject to the same conditions as, each share of Company Common Stock not subject to any restrictions.

(iii) The Board of Directors of the Company (the “Company Board”) or compensation committee of the Company Board shall make such amendments and adjustments to make such determinations with respect to, and cause to be taken such actions with respect to, the Company Stock Options and Company Restricted Stock as are necessary and legally permissible to implement the provisions of this Section 2.01.

SECTION 2.02 Payment Procedures.

(a) Parent to Make Merger Consideration and Option Consideration Available. Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall (i) deposit, or shall cause to be deposited, with a bank or trust company designated by Parent and reasonably acceptable to the Company (the “Paying Agent”) in a separate fund (the “Exchange Fund”), for the benefit of (x) the holders of certificates or evidence of shares in book-entry form which immediately prior to the Effective Time evidence shares of Company Common Stock (each a “Certificate”) and (y) Optionholders, an amount in cash sufficient to pay the aggregate Merger Consideration and the aggregate Option Consideration (collectively, the “Aggregate Consideration”), and (ii) instruct the Paying Agent to timely pay the Aggregate Consideration in accordance with this Agreement. The Aggregate Consideration deposited with the Paying Agent pursuant to this Section 2.02 shall be invested by the Paying Agent as directed by Parent; provided, however, that any such investment or any payment of earnings from any such investment shall not (a) delay the receipt by the holders of record of the Certificates of the Merger Consideration or otherwise impair such holders’ rights hereunder, or (b) delay the receipt by the Optionholders of the Option Consideration or otherwise impair such holders’ rights hereunder. Any interest or income produced by such investments

shall not be deemed part of the Exchange Fund and shall be payable to the Surviving Corporation. In the event that the funds in the Exchange Fund shall be insufficient to make the payments contemplated by Section 2.01, Parent shall promptly deposit, or cause to be deposited, additional funds with the Paying Agent in an amount which is equal to the deficiency in the amount required to make such payment. The Paying Agent shall cause the Exchange Fund to be (i) held for the benefit of the holders of shares of Company Common Stock and Company Stock Options and (ii) applied promptly to making the payments provided for in Section 2.01. The Exchange Fund shall not be used for any purpose that is not expressly provided for in this Agreement.

(b) No Further Ownership Rights in Company Common Stock or Company Stock Options; Transfer Books. The Merger Consideration and the Option Consideration paid by the Paying Agent in accordance with the terms of this Section 2.02 upon conversion of any shares of Company Common Stock (including the Company Restricted Stock) or Company Stock Options, as applicable, shall be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such shares of Company Common Stock or Company Stock Option, as applicable, and after the Effective Time there shall be no further registration of transfers on the stock transfer books of the Surviving Corporation of shares of Company Common Stock or Company Stock Options that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates are presented to the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent for any reason, they shall be canceled and exchanged as provided in Section 2.03.

SECTION 2.03 Exchange of Shares; Cancellation of Options.

(a) As soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time, the Paying Agent shall mail to each holder of record of a Certificate a form of letter of transmittal (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of the Certificates to the Paying Agent) and instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates in exchange for payment of the Merger Consideration. Upon proper surrender of a Certificate for exchange and cancellation to the Paying Agent, together with a properly completed letter of transmittal, duly executed, the holder of such Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor the Merger Consideration that such former holder has the right to receive pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.01, in each case, in respect of the Certificate surrendered pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2.03, and the Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be canceled.

(b) If payment of the Merger Consideration is to be made to any Person other than the registered holder of the Certificate surrendered in exchange therefor, it shall be a condition of the payment thereof that the Certificate so surrendered shall be properly endorsed (or accompanied by an appropriate instrument of transfer) and otherwise in proper form for transfer, and that the Person requesting such exchange shall pay to the Paying Agent in advance of any transfer or other similar Taxes required by reason of the payment of the Merger Consideration to any Person other than the registered holder of the Certificate surrendered, or required for any other reason relating to such holder or requesting Person, or shall establish to the reasonable satisfaction of the Paying Agent that such Tax has been paid or is not payable.

(c) As soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time, the Paying Agent shall provide notice to each Optionholder which includes (i) a description of the treatment of the Company Stock Options in accordance with Section 2.01(d) and (ii) payment of the Option Consideration that such Person has the right to receive pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.01(d) in respect of such Optionholder’s Company Stock Options.

(d) Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains unclaimed by the Stockholders or Optionholders for one (1) year after the Effective Time shall be paid, at the request of Parent, to Parent. Any Stockholder or Optionholder who has not theretofore complied with this Section 2.03 or, with respect to the Optionholders, has not received their Option Consideration, shall thereafter look only to Parent for payment of the Merger Consideration or Option Consideration payable in respect of each share of Company Common Stock or Company Stock Option held by such Person at the Effective Time as determined pursuant to this Agreement, in each case, without any interest thereon. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, none of Parent, the Company, the Paying Agent, Merger Sub or any other Person shall be liable to any former Stockholder or Optionholder for any amount properly delivered to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar laws.

(e) In the event 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 amount as Parent may determine is reasonably necessary (such amount, however, not to exceed 20% of the Merger Consideration that the Person is entitled to receive in respect of such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate) as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, the Paying Agent will issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate the Merger Consideration deliverable in respect thereof pursuant to this Agreement.

(f) Parent, Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent will be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby to any holder of Company Common Stock or Company Stock Options such amounts as Parent, or any Affiliate thereof, Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent are required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code or any applicable provision of U.S. federal, state, local or non-U.S. tax Law. To the extent that such amounts are properly withheld by Parent, Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent, (i) Parent, Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent will promptly pay such withheld amounts to the appropriate taxing authority, and (ii) such withheld amounts will be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Stockholder or Optionholder in respect of whom such deduction and withholding were made by Parent, Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent.

SECTION 2.04 Adjustments to Prevent Dilution. Without limiting the other provisions of this Agreement, in the event that the Company changes the number of shares of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding prior to the Effective Time as a result of a reclassification, stock split (including a reverse stock split), stock dividend or distribution, recapitalization, merger, subdivision, issuer tender or exchange offer, or other similar transaction, the Merger Consideration shall be equitably adjusted to reflect such change.

SECTION 2.05 Dissenting Shares.

(a) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, shares of Company Common Stock that are outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and held by Stockholders who shall not have voted in favor of the Merger or consented thereto in writing and who are entitled to demand and shall have demanded properly in writing appraisal for such shares in accordance, and who comply in all respect with Section 262 of the DGCL (collectively, the “Dissenting Shares”) shall not be converted into or represent the right to receive the Merger Consideration set forth in Section 2.01. Such Stockholders shall be entitled to receive only the fair value of such shares in accordance with the provisions of Section 262 of the DGCL, unless and until such Stockholders shall have failed to perfect or who effectively shall have withdrawn or lost their rights to appraisal of such shares under Section 262 of the DGCL. If any holder of Dissenting Shares shall have failed to perfect or shall have withdrawn or lost his, her, or its rights to appraisal of such shares under Section 262 of the DGCL, such shares shall thereupon be deemed to have been converted into and to have become exchangeable for, as of the Effective Time, the right to receive the Merger Consideration specified in Section 2.01, without any interest thereon, upon surrender, in the manner provided in Section 2.03, of the Certificate or Certificates that formerly evidenced such Dissenting Shares and the Surviving Corporation and Parent shall remain liable for the payment of the Merger Consideration for such shares of Company Common Stock. At the Effective Time, any holder of Dissenting Shares shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto except the rights provided in Section 262 of the DGCL as described in this Section 2.05.

(b) The Company shall give Parent (i) prompt notice of any demands for appraisal received by the Company, withdrawals of such demands and any other instruments served pursuant to the DGCL and received by the Company and (ii) the opportunity to direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to demands for appraisal under the DGCL. The Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of Parent, make any payment with respect to any demands for appraisal or offer to settle or settle any such demands.

ARTICLE III

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE COMPANY

Except as set forth (a) other than with respect to the representations and warranties in Section 3.02 (Capitalization), in reasonable detail in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) required by the Securities Act or the Exchange Act made between December 31, 2008 and the date hereof (excluding any disclosure set forth therein under the heading “Risk Factors” (other than factual information contained therein), any disclosures in any section related to forward-looking statement to the extent that they are primarily predictive, cautionary or forward looking in nature (other than factual information contained therein), or any statements in Management’s Discussion and Analysis) or (b) in the disclosure schedule of the Company delivered to Parent concurrently herewith (the “Company Disclosure Schedule”) (with specific reference to the section of this Agreement to which the information stated in such Company Disclosure Schedule relates; provided that (i) disclosure in any section of such Company Disclosure Schedule shall be deemed to be disclosed with respect to any other Section of this Agreement to the extent that it is reasonably apparent from the face of such disclosure that such disclosure is applicable or relevant to such other Section and (ii) the

mere inclusion of an item in such Company Disclosure Schedule as an exception to a representation or warranty shall not be deemed an admission that such item represents a material exception or material fact, event or circumstance or that such item has had or would have a Company Material Adverse Effect), the Company hereby represents and warrants to Parent and Merger Sub as follows:

SECTION 3.01 Corporate Organization.

(a) The Company is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware. The Company has the corporate power and corporate authority to own or lease all of its properties and assets and to carry on its business as it is now being conducted, and is duly licensed or qualified to do business in each jurisdiction in which the nature of the business currently conducted by it or the character or location of the properties and assets owned or leased by it makes such licensing or qualification necessary, except where the failure to be so licensed or qualified would not reasonably be expected to result in a Company Material Adverse Effect. As used in this Agreement, the term “Company Material Adverse Effect” means any change, effect, event, circumstance, condition, occurrence or development that, individually or in the aggregate, has had or would be reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on (i) the business, results of operations or condition (financial or otherwise) of the Company, its Subsidiaries and the Affiliated Medical Practices taken as a whole or (ii) the Company’s ability to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby on a timely basis; provided, however, that in determining whether a Company Material Adverse Effect has occurred, there shall be excluded any effect on the Company, its Subsidiaries or the Affiliated Medical Practices relating to or arising in connection with (A) the negotiation, execution, delivery or public announcement or the pendency of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or any actions expressly required to be taken in compliance herewith or otherwise with the written consent of the other party hereto, including the impact thereof on the relationships of the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of the Affiliated Medical Practices with customers, vendors, licensors, consultants, employees or independent contractors or other third parties with whom the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of the Affiliated Medical Practices has any relationship and including any litigation brought by any Stockholder in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, (B) any change in the market price or trading volume of the Company’s securities or any effect resulting from any such change, (but not, in each case, the underlying cause of such change or effect), (C) any failure by the Company to meet any projections or forecasts for any period ending (or for which revenues or earnings are released) on or after the date hereof (but not, in each case, the underlying cause of such change or effect), (D) any change in federal, state, non-U.S. or local Law, regulations, policies or procedures, or interpretations thereof, (E) any change in United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) or regulatory accounting requirements applicable or potentially applicable to the industries in which the Company, its Subsidiaries or the Affiliated Medical Practices operate, (F) changes generally affecting the industries in which the Company, its Subsidiaries or the Affiliated Medical Practices operate, (G) changes in economic conditions (including changes in the prevailing interest rates) in the United States, in any region thereof, or in any non-U.S. or global economy or (H) any attack on, or by, outbreak or escalation of hostilities or acts of terrorism involving, the United States, or any declaration of war by the United States Congress or any hurricane, earthquake or other natural disaster, except to the extent such effects relating to or arising in connection with matters described in (x) clauses (D)

and (F) above disproportionately affect the teleradiology industry, as compared to other companies that conduct business in the healthcare industry and (y) clauses (E), (G) and (H) above disproportionately affect the Company, its Subsidiaries, and Affiliated Medical Practices, taken as a whole, as compared to other companies that conduct business in the industries in which the Company, its Subsidiaries and Affiliated Medical Practices conduct business.

(b) The copies of the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Company which have previously been made available to Parent are true, complete and correct copies of such documents as in effect as of the date of this Agreement.

(c) Each Subsidiary of the Company and each of the Affiliated Medical Practices (i) is duly organized and validly existing as a corporation, partnership, limited liability company or other entity, as the case may be, under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization, (ii) is duly licensed or qualified to do business and is in good standing in all jurisdictions (whether federal, state, local or non-U.S.) where its ownership or leasing of property or the conduct of its business requires it to be so licensed or qualified and in which the failure to be so qualified would reasonably be expected to result in, either individually or in the aggregate, a Company Material Adverse Effect, and (iii) has all requisite corporate or other organizational power and authority to own or lease its properties and assets and to carry on its business as now conducted.

(d) The minute books of the Company and each of its Subsidiaries and the Affiliated Medical Practices previously made available to Parent contain true, complete and correct records in all material respects of all meetings and other material corporate actions held or taken since January 1, 2008 of their respective stockholders, members, partners or other equity holders and Boards of Directors or other governing bodies (including committees of their respective Boards of Directors or other governing bodies) through the date hereof.

SECTION 3.02 Capitalization.

(a) The authorized capital stock of the Company consists of One Hundred Million (100,000,000) shares of Company Common Stock and Six Million Three Hundred Seventy Thousand (6,370,000) shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Company Preferred Stock”). As of the close of business on May 13, 2010 (the “Capitalization Date”), there were Sixteen Million Three Hundred Twenty-Six Thousand Six Hundred and Nine (16,326,609) shares of Company Common Stock outstanding (including shares of Company Restricted Stock) and no shares of Company Preferred Stock Outstanding. As of the close of business on the Capitalization Date, no shares of Company Common Stock or Company Preferred Stock were reserved or to be made available for issuance, except as set forth in Section 3.02(a) of the Company Disclosure Schedule. All of the issued and outstanding shares of Company Common Stock have been duly authorized and validly issued and are fully paid, nonassessable and free of preemptive rights, with no personal liability attaching to the ownership thereof. As of the date of this Agreement, except (i) as set forth in Section 3.02(a) of the Company Disclosure Schedule, (ii) pursuant to any cashless exercise provisions of any Company Stock Options or pursuant to the surrender of shares to the Company or the withholding of shares by the Company to cover Tax withholding obligations under the Company’s stock plans and arrangements set forth in Section 3.02(a) of the Company Disclosure Schedule (collectively, and in each case as the same may be amended to the date hereof, the “Company Stock Plans”), and

Entity or any other third Person so as to enable the parties hereto to consummate the Merger as soon as practicable, including committing to and/or effecting, by consent decree, hold separate orders, or otherwise, the sale or disposition of such of the shares of Company Common Stock, or its or the Company’s or their respective Subsidiaries’ assets, as are required to be divested or entering into such other arrangements as are required in order to avoid the entry of, or to effect the dissolution of, any injunction, temporary restraining order or other order in any suit or proceeding, which would otherwise have the effect of preventing or materially delaying the consummation of the Merger.

(c) Nothing in this Section 5.07 shall be deemed to prevent the Company or the Company Board from taking any action they are permitted or required to take under, and in compliance with, Section 5.10 or are required to take under applicable Law.

SECTION 5.08 Employees; Employee Benefit Plans.

(a) Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries to, (i) give those employees who are, as of the Effective Time, employed by the Company and its Subsidiaries (the “Continuing Employees”) full credit for purposes of eligibility, vesting and benefit accruals under any employee benefit plans or arrangements maintained by Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any Subsidiary of Parent or the Surviving Corporation (collectively, the “Parent Plans”) for such Continuing Employees’ service with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (or any predecessor entity) to the same extent recognized by the Company and its Subsidiaries; (ii) waive all limitations as to preexisting conditions, exclusions and waiting periods with respect to participation and coverage requirements applicable to the Continuing Employees under any Parent Plan that is a welfare benefit plan that such employees may be eligible to participate in after the Effective Time; (iii) provide credit under any such welfare plan for any co-payments, deductibles and out-of-pocket expenditures for the remainder of the coverage period during which any transfer of coverage occurs; provided, however, that no such service shall be recognized to the extent such recognition would result in the duplication of benefits; and (iv) honor, for a period of no less than one year following the Effective Time, in accordance with their terms all employee benefit plans or arrangements maintained by the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time.

(b) From and after the Effective Time until the one year anniversary of the Effective Time, and subject to the immediately following sentence, Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries to, provide to the Continuing Employees compensation and benefit arrangements that are no less favorable in the aggregate than the compensation and benefit arrangements that are provided to similarly situated employees of Parent; provided, however, that in no event shall such Continuing Employees’ compensation and benefit arrangements be less favorable in the aggregate than such Continuing Employees’ current compensation and benefit arrangements. As soon as practicable after the Effective Time, Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries to, cause the Continuing Employees to commence participation in such Parent Plans as are provided to similarly situated employees of Parent. From and after the Effective Time until the one year anniversary of the Effective Time and unless otherwise mutually agreed to by the parties in writing, Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall keep in full force and effect, and comply with the terms and conditions of, any agreement in effect as of the date of this Agreement between or among the

Company or any of its Subsidiaries and any of its or their employees relating to severance pay or similar benefits.

(c) The provisions of this Section 5.08 are for the sole benefit of the parties to this Agreement and nothing herein, expressed or implied, is intended or shall be construed to confer upon or give to any Person (including for the avoidance of doubt any Continuing Employees, present or former employees or directors, consultants or independent contractors of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, Parent or any of its Subsidiaries, or on or after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries), other than the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns, any legal or equitable or other rights or remedies (with respect to the matters provided for in this Section 5.08) under or by reason of any provision of this Agreement. Nothing contained in this Section 5.08 or elsewhere in the Agreement shall be construed to prevent, from and after the Effective Time, the termination of employment of any individual Continuing Employee or, subject to the provisions of Section 5.08(a), any change in the employee benefits available to any Continuing Employee or the amendment or termination of any particular Plan in accordance with its terms.

SECTION 5.09 Indemnification; Directors’ and Officers’ Insurance.

(a) From and after the Effective Time, each of Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall jointly and severally: (i) indemnify and hold harmless each individual who served as a director and/or officer of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries prior to the Effective Time (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”) to the fullest extent authorized or permitted by Delaware law, as now or hereafter in effect, in connection with any Claim and any judgments, fines (including excise taxes), penalties and amounts paid in settlement (including all interest, assessments and other charges paid or payable in connection with or in respect of such judgments, fines, penalties or amounts paid in settlement) resulting therefrom; and (ii) promptly pay on behalf of or, within thirty (30) days after any request for advancement, advance to each of the Indemnified Parties, to the fullest extent authorized or permitted by Delaware law, as now or hereafter in effect, any Expenses incurred in defending, serving as a witness with respect to or otherwise participating in any Claim in advance of the final disposition of such Claim, including payment on behalf of or advancement to the Indemnified Party of any Expenses incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with enforcing any rights with respect to such indemnification and/or advancement, in each case without the requirement of any bond or other security, but in the case of advancement of Expenses upon receipt of an undertaking, to the extent required by applicable Law, from such Indemnified Party to repay such advanced Expenses if it is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final order that such Indemnified Party was not entitled to indemnification hereunder with respect to such Expenses. In the event any Claim is brought against any Indemnified Party, Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall each use all commercially reasonable efforts to assist in the vigorous defense of such matter, provided that neither Parent nor the Surviving Corporation shall settle, compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any Claim (and in which indemnification could be sought by such Indemnified Party hereunder) without the prior written consent of such Indemnified Party if and to the extent the claimant seeks any non-monetary relief from such Indemnified Party, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld. The indemnification and advancement obligations of Parent and the Surviving Corporation pursuant to this Section 5.09(a) shall extend to acts or omissions occurring at or before the Effective Time and any Claim relating thereto (including with respect

to any acts or omissions occurring in connection with the approval of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and any Claim relating thereto) and all rights to indemnification and advancement conferred hereunder shall continue as to an individual who has ceased to be a director or officer of the Company or its Subsidiaries prior to the Effective Time and shall inure to the benefit of such individual’s heirs, executors and personal and legal representatives. In connection with any determination as to whether the Indemnified Parties are entitled to the benefits of this Section 5.09, the burden of proof shall be on Parent and the Surviving Corporation to establish that an Indemnified Party is not so entitled. As used in this Section 5.09(a), (i) the term “Claim” means any threatened, asserted, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, or any inquiry or investigation, whether instituted by the Company, any Governmental Entity or any other party, that any Indemnified Party in good faith believes might lead to the institution of any such action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or other, including any arbitration or other alternative dispute resolution mechanism, arising out of or pertaining to matters that relate to such Indemnified Party’s duties or service as a director, officer, trustee, employee, agent, or fiduciary of the Company, any of its Subsidiaries, any employee benefit plan maintained by any of the foregoing at or prior to the Effective Time and any other Person at the request of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; and (ii) the term “Expenses” means attorneys’ fees and all other costs, expenses and obligations (including experts’ fees, travel expenses, court costs, retainers, transcript fees, duplicating, printing and binding costs, as well as telecommunications, postage and courier charges) paid or incurred in connection with investigating, defending, being a witness in or participating in (including on appeal), or preparing to investigate, defend, be a witness in or participate in, any Claim for which indemnification is authorized pursuant to this Section 5.09(a), including any action relating to a claim for indemnification or advancement brought by an Indemnified Party.

(b) Without limiting any of the obligations under paragraph (a) of this Section 5.09, from and after the Effective Time, Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall keep in full force and effect, and comply with the terms and conditions of, any agreement in effect as of the date of this Agreement between or among the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and any Indemnified Party providing for the indemnification of such Indemnified Party.

(c) Without limiting any of the obligations under paragraph (a) of this Section 5.09, Parent agrees that all rights to indemnification and all limitations of liability existing in favor of the Indemnified Parties as provided in the Company’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws or in the corresponding documents of any of the Company’s Subsidiaries as in effect as of the date of this Agreement with respect to matters occurring on or prior to the Effective Time shall survive the Merger and shall continue in full force and effect thereafter, without any amendment thereto.

(d) If Parent or the Surviving Corporation or any of its successors or assigns shall (i) consolidate with or merge into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving Person of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfer all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, in each such case, proper provisions shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Parent and the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be (including Parent’s ultimate parent entity, if applicable), assume all of the obligations of Parent and the Surviving Corporation set forth in this Section 5.09.

(e) As of the Effective Time, Parent, the Surviving Corporation or the Company (with the election being at Parent’s option) shall have purchased and shall maintain in full force and effect for a period of six (6) years after the Closing Date (or, if any Claim is asserted or made within such six-year period, Parent shall ensure that such insurance remains in effect until final disposition of such Claim) a prepaid directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy or policies providing each individual currently covered by the Company’s directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage for events occurring at or prior to the Effective Time (including acts or omissions relating to the approval of this Agreement and consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby) that is no less favorable than the Company’s existing policy; provided, however, that Parent may substitute therefor policies of at least the same coverage and amounts containing terms and conditions which are in the aggregate no less advantageous to such directors and officers of the Company than the terms and conditions of the existing directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy of the Company from reputable carriers having a rating comparable to the Company’s current carrier.

(f) The provisions of this Section 5.09 shall survive the consummation of the Merger and (i) are intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each Indemnified Party and his or her heirs and representatives and (ii) are in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other rights to indemnification or contribution that any such Person may have by contract or otherwise. The obligations of Parent or the Surviving Corporation under this Section 5.09 shall not be terminated or modified in such a manner as to adversely affect the rights of any Indemnified Party under this Section 5.09 without the consent of such affected Indemnified Party. Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to perform all of the obligations of the Surviving Corporation under this Section 5.09.

SECTION 5.10 No Solicitation.

(a) The Company shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries, and shall cause their respective officers, directors, representatives and agents (including any investment banker, attorney or accountant retained by it or any of its Subsidiaries) (collectively, “Company Representatives”) to, (i) immediately cease any existing discussions or negotiations, if any, with any third Person that may be ongoing with respect to any actual or potential Acquisition Proposal and (ii) with respect to parties with whom discussions have been terminated, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain the return or the destruction of, in accordance with the terms of the applicable confidentiality agreement, confidential information previously furnished by the Company, its Subsidiaries or Company Representatives. The Company and its Subsidiaries shall not, and shall not authorize or permit any Company Representative to, directly or indirectly, (i) solicit, initiate or knowingly encourage an Acquisition Proposal, (ii) furnish or disclose to any third Person non-public information with respect to an Acquisition Proposal, (iii) negotiate or engage in discussions with any third Person with respect to an Acquisition Proposal (other than to advise such Person of the Company’s obligations under this Section 5.10) or (iv) enter into any agreement (whether or not binding) or agreement in principle with respect to, or approve or recommend, an Acquisition Proposal; provided, however, that at any time prior to obtaining approval of the Merger by the Company Required Vote (but not thereafter), in response to a bona fide written Acquisition Proposal that was not solicited by the Company or any of its Representatives and which the Company Board determines in good faith, after consulting with its financial advisors and outside legal counsel, constitutes, or could reasonably

be expected to lead to, a Superior Proposal, the Company may (A) furnish information with respect to the Company, its Subsidiaries and the Affiliated Medical Practices to the Person making such Acquisition Proposal (and its officers, directors, employees, accountants, consultants, legal counsel, advisors, agents and other representatives), and (B) participate in discussions or negotiations with, and provide draft documents and agreements to, the Person making such Acquisition Proposal (and its officers, directors, employees, accountants, consultants, legal counsel, advisors, agents and other representatives) regarding such Acquisition Proposal, if (prior to furnishing such information to, or entering into such discussions or negotiations with, such Person) the Company (1) provides reasonable prior notice to Parent to the effect that it is furnishing information to, or entering into discussions or negotiations with, such Person (but excluding the identity of such Person), (2) provides Parent with all information to be provided to such Person which Parent has not previously been provided, and (3) receives from such Person an executed confidentiality agreement reasonably satisfactory to the Company Board and with terms substantially similar to and no less favorable to the Company, in the aggregate, than those contained in the Confidentiality Agreement.

(b) Except as set forth in this Section 5.10(b), neither the Company Board or any committee thereof shall (i) withdraw, qualify, withhold or modify, or propose to withdraw, qualify, withhold or modify, in a manner adverse to Parent, the Company Recommendation, (ii) approve or recommend, or propose to approve or recommend, any Acquisition Proposal, (iii) enter into any agreement (whether or not binding) or agreement in principle with respect to any Acquisition Proposal (other than a confidentiality agreement referred to in Section 5.10(a)) or (iv) take any other action or make any recommendation or public statement in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer other than a recommendation against such offer or otherwise take any action inconsistent with the Company Recommendation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, at any time prior to obtaining approval of the Merger by the Company Required Vote, the Company Board determines in good faith after consultation with its outside legal counsel and financial advisors that the failure to do so would violate its fiduciary duties to the Stockholders under applicable Law, then the Company Board may withdraw, modify, or change in a manner adverse to Parent, the Company Recommendation (a “Company Recommendation Change”); provided, however, that if any such action is (A) not in response to a Superior Proposal, then a Company Recommendation Change may only be made if directly related to an event, fact, circumstance, development or occurrence that affects the assets or operations of the Company that is unknown to the Company Board as of the date of this Agreement but becomes known to the Company Board prior to obtaining approval of the Merger by the Company Required Vote or (B) in response to a Superior Proposal (that was not solicited in breach of this Section 5.10) as determined by the Company Board in good faith after consultation with outside counsel and its financial advisors, prior to making any Company Recommendation Change or terminating this Agreement in accordance with Section 7.01(d), the Company shall, in all such cases, provide Parent with at least three (3) Business Days advance written notice (such period, the “Notice Period”), advising Parent of its intention to make a Company Recommendation Change or to terminate the Agreement to enter into a definitive agreement with respect to a Superior Proposal, (ii) provide Parent in writing the material terms and conditions of such Superior Proposal and a copy of the relevant proposed transaction documents with the party making such Superior Proposal and other material documents (but excluding the identity of such Person) and (iii) discuss with Parent, to the extent Parent wishes to discuss, any proposed changes by Parent to the terms of this Agreement as to permit the Company not to effect a Company Recommendation or

to terminate this Agreement in response to such a Superior Proposal and following the Notice Period, and taking into account any revised proposal made by Parent since the commencement of the Notice Period, determines in good faith after consultation with its outside legal counsel and financial advisors that the Company Board is required to make a Company Recommendation Change in the exercise of its fiduciary duties, and if it is in connection with a Superior Proposal, the Superior Proposal remains a Superior Proposal. In the event of any material change to the material terms of such Superior Proposal (any change in price shall be deemed a material change of a material term), the Company Board shall deliver to Parent an additional notice and shall comply with this Section 5.10(b) with respect to such new notice, except that if the only material change is a change in price, then the deadline for such new written notice shall be 36 hours (rather than the three (3) Business Days otherwise contemplated by this Section 5.10(b)). None of the Company Board, any committee thereof or the Company shall enter into any binding agreement with any Person to limit or not provide prior notice to Parent of its intent to make a Company Recommendation Change or to terminate this Agreement in response to any Superior Proposal.

(c) Nothing contained in this Agreement shall prohibit the Company or the Company Board from (i) taking and disclosing to the Stockholders a position contemplated by Rule 14e-2 promulgated under the Exchange Act or (ii) making any disclosure to the Stockholders if the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel, that such disclosure is required by applicable securities law; provided, that, any such disclosure (other than a “stop, look and listen” letter or similar communication of the type contemplated by Rule 14d-9(f) under the Exchange Act) shall be deemed a Company Recommendation Change.

(d) As used in this Agreement:

(i) “Acquisition Proposal” means any inquiry, proposal or offer (including any proposal from or to the Stockholders from any person or “group” (as defined in Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act) other than Parent or its Affiliates) relating to (A) the acquisition , in any single transaction or series of related transactions, of more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the outstanding shares of capital stock or any other voting securities of the Company by any Person or group of Persons, (B) a merger, consolidation, business combination, reorganization, share exchange, sale of assets, recapitalization, liquidation, dissolution or similar transaction which would result in any Person acquiring twenty-five percent (25%) or more of the fair market value of the assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole (including capital stock of Subsidiaries of the Company) by any Person or group of Persons, (C) any other transaction which would result in a Person or group of Persons acquiring twenty-five percent (25%) or more of the fair market value of the assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole (including capital stock of Subsidiaries of the Company), immediately prior to such transaction (whether by purchase of assets, acquisition of stock of a Subsidiary or otherwise) or (D) any combination of the foregoing.

(ii) “Superior Proposal” means an Acquisition Proposal (with all of the percentages included in the definition of Acquisition Proposal increased to fifty percent (50%)) on terms which the Company Board determines in good faith (after consultation with its financial advisors and outside legal counsel and consideration of all terms and conditions of such

Acquisition Proposal, including the conditionality and the timing and likelihood of consummation of such Acquisition Proposal) to be more favorable to the holders of Company Common Stock, including from a financial point of view, than those set forth in this Agreement or the terms of any other proposal or revised proposal made by Parent pursuant to the provisions of Section 5.10(b) above.

SECTION 5.11 Standstill. Until the earlier of the Effective Time or the termination of this Agreement, neither Parent nor any of its Affiliates shall (a) purchase any shares of Company Common Stock or any security of the Company that is convertible into Company Common Stock in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions or (b) form, join or in any way participate in a “group” (as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) in connection with any of the foregoing or (c) prior to the termination of this Agreement, commence a tender offer or exchange offer at a price per share below the Merger Consideration.

SECTION 5.12 Notification of Certain Events. The Company will notify Parent and Merger Sub, and Parent and Merger Sub will notify the Company, promptly of (a) any material written communications from any Person alleging that the consent of such Person is or may be required in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, provided that the foregoing shall not apply in respect of any immaterial consents, (b) any written communication from any Governmental Entity in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (other than any such communication from a Governmental Entity in its capacity as a counterparty to any contract with the Company thereof), (c) any legal, administrative, arbitral or other proceedings, claims or actions commenced against the Company or Parent or their respective Subsidiaries or the Affiliated Medical Practices, as applicable, that are related to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and (d) any event, change or effect between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time which causes or is reasonably likely to cause the conditions set forth in Sections 6.02(a) or 6.02(b) of this Agreement (in the case of the Company) or Sections 6.03(a) or 6.03(b) of this Agreement (in the case of Parent and its Subsidiaries).

SECTION 5.13 Takeover Statutes. If any Takeover Statute becomes or is deemed to be applicable to the Company, Parent, Merger Sub, the Merger or any other transaction contemplated by this Agreement, then each of the Company, Parent, Merger Sub, and their respective Boards of Directors shall grant such approvals and take such actions as are necessary so that the transactions contemplated hereby may be consummated as promptly as practicable on the terms contemplated hereby and otherwise act to render such Takeover Statute inapplicable to the foregoing. “Takeover Statute” shall mean any restrictive provision of any applicable “fair price,” “moratorium,” “control share acquisition,” “interested stockholder” or other similar anti-takeover Law, including Section 203 of the DGCL.

SECTION 5.14 Section 16 Matters. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company Board shall take all such steps as may be required and permitted to cause the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including any dispositions of shares of Company Common Stock (including derivative securities with respect to such Company Common Stock) by each individual who is or will be subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act with respect to the Company, to be exempt under Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act.

SECTION 5.15 Delisting. Each of the parties 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 Stock Market and terminate registration under the Exchange Act, provided that such delisting and termination shall not be effective until or after the Effective Time.

SECTION 5.16 Additional Agreements. In case at any time after the Effective Time any further action is necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement or to vest the Surviving Corporation with full title to all properties, assets, rights, approvals, immunities and franchises of either of the Company or Merger Sub, the proper officers and directors of each party to this Agreement shall use reasonable best efforts to take all such necessary action.

SECTION 5.17 Cooperation with Financing. If Parent determines to seek financing (through loans from financial institutions or otherwise) in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby (each a “Parent Financing”), the Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries, the Affiliated Medical Practices and its and their directors, officers, employees, accountants, agents, advisors and other representatives to, reasonably cooperate with Parent in connection therewith and use their commercially reasonable efforts to take all actions reasonably requested by Parent in connection therewith (in each case, at Parent’s expense), including (a) participating in marketing efforts (including lender meetings and calls), due diligence sessions and rating agency presentations; (b) assisting Parent in its preparation of rating agency presentations, bank books, confidential information memoranda or similar documents; (c) delivering to Parent information with respect to the Company, its Subsidiaries and the Affiliated Medical Practices as is reasonably requested in connection with the Parent Financing, including, at the request of Parent, delivery within 15 days of the close of each fiscal month, monthly financial statements of the Company, its Subsidiaries and the Affiliated Medical Practices (including a balance sheet and income statement); (d) facilitating the pledge and perfection of liens securing the Parent Financing; and (e) taking all other actions as are reasonably requested by Parent to facilitate the satisfaction on a timely basis of all conditions to obtaining the Parent Financing; provided, however, that the cooperation and actions required by the Company pursuant to this Section 5.17 shall not unreasonably interfere with the ordinary course operation of the Company’s, its Subsidiaries’ or the Affiliated Medical Practices’ businesses.

(a) If this Agreement is terminated (i) by the Company pursuant to Section 7.01(d) or (ii) by Parent or the Company, as applicable, pursuant to Section 7.01(c), 7.01(e), 7.01(f) (unless the actions or omissions of Parent or Merger Sub have been the primary cause of, or resulted in either (A) the failure to satisfy the conditions to the obligations of the Company to consummate the Merger set forth in Article VI prior to the Outside Termination Date, or (B) the failure of the Effective Time to have occurred prior to the Outside Termination Date) or 7.01(g), the Company shall pay Parent or its designee the Company Termination Fee by wire transfer of immediately available funds; (x) in the case of any termination pursuant to clause (i) above, prior to or contemporaneous with such termination, and (y) in the case of any termination pursuant to clause (ii) above, only if (A) prior to such termination but after the date hereof, an Acquisition Proposal is made known to the Company or publicly announced by any Person (other than Parent, Merger Sub or their respective Affiliates) and (B) an Acquisition Proposal is consummated or the Company enters into an acquisition agreement for an Acquisition Proposal with any Person, in any case, within twelve (12) months following such termination, in which case such payment shall be made prior to or contemporaneous with the consummation of, or entering into an acquisition agreement for, an Acquisition Proposal. For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall the Company be obligated to pay, or cause to be paid, the Company Termination Fee on more than one (1) occasion.

(b) In the event that this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 7.01(c) or Section 7.01(g), the Company shall reimburse Parent or its designee for the documented reasonable out-of-pocket fees and expenses incurred by Parent, Merger Sub or any of their Affiliates in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby up to an aggregate amount of $2,400,000, by wire transfer of immediately available funds not later than five (5) Business Days after delivery to the Company of an itemization setting forth in reasonable detail all such reimbursable expenses; provided that any amounts paid by the Company of Parent pursuant to this Section 7.02(b) shall reduce on a dollar-for-dollar basis any Company Termination Fee that becomes due and payable pursuant to Section 7.02(a). The parties acknowledge that (i) the agreements contained in this Section 7.02 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated in this Agreement, (ii) the damages resulting from termination of this Agreement under circumstances where a Company Termination Fee is payable are uncertain and incapable of accurate calculation and therefore, the amounts payable pursuant to Section 7.02(a) are not a penalty but rather constitute liquidated damages in a reasonable amount that will compensate Parent for the efforts and resources expended and opportunities foregone while negotiating this Agreement and in reliance on this Agreement and on the expectation of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, and (iii) without the agreements contained in this Section 7.02, the parties would not have entered into this Agreement.

SECTION 7.03 Effect of Termination. In the event of termination of this Agreement by either Parent or the Company as provided in this Article VII, this Agreement shall forthwith become void and have no effect, and none of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company, any of their respective Subsidiaries or any of the officers or directors of any of them shall have any liability of any nature whatsoever hereunder, or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby; provided, however, that (i) Sections 5.01(b), Article VII, Article VIII, and Article IX and, in accordance with its terms, the Guarantee shall survive any termination of this Agreement and (ii) Subject to Section 9.09, neither Parent, Merger Sub nor the Company shall be relieved or released from any liabilities or damages arising out of its knowing and material breach of this Agreement; provided, however, that receipt of the Company Termination Fee as provided herein shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of Parent and Merger Sub under circumstances where the Termination Fee is payable by the Company.

ARTICLE IX

MISCELLANEOUS

SECTION 9.01 Non-survival of Representations and Warranties. None of the representations and warranties in this Agreement or in any instrument delivered pursuant to this Agreement shall survive the Effective Time. This Section 9.01 shall not limit any covenant or agreement of the parties in this Agreement that by its terms contemplates performance after the Effective Time.

SECTION 9.02 Publicity. Parent, Merger Sub and the Company shall consult with each other before issuing any press release with respect to the Merger or this Agreement and shall not issue any such press release or make any such public statement without the prior consent of the other party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided, however, that a party may, without the prior consent of the other party (but after prior consultation, to the extent practicable in the circumstances) issue such press release or make such public statement or SEC filing as may upon the advice of outside counsel be required by Law or the rules and regulations of any applicable stock exchange (including the Nasdaq Stock Market). The parties have agreed upon the form of a joint press release announcing the Merger and the execution of this Agreement.

SECTION 9.03 Expenses. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, each party will bear its own expenses and costs incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, whether or not such transactions will be consummated (for the sake of clarity, Parent shall be responsible for the HSR Act filing fees).

SECTION 9.04 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with the Exhibits and Schedules annexed hereto, the Guarantee and the Voting Agreement, constitutes the entire understanding and agreement by and among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes all prior negotiations, agreements and understandings among such parties.

SECTION 9.05 Assignment; Third Party Beneficiaries. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations of any party hereunder shall be assigned by any of the parties hereto (whether by operation of Law or otherwise) without the prior written consent of the other party. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Except as otherwise specifically provided in Section 5.09 (Indemnification; Directors’ and Officers’ Insurance) or Section 9.09 (Enforcement), this Agreement (including the documents and instruments referred to herein) is not intended to confer upon any Person other than the parties hereto any rights or remedies hereunder.

SECTION 9.06 Governing Law. This Agreement, including the validity hereof and the rights and obligations of the parties hereunder, and all amendments and supplements hereof and all waivers and consents hereunder, shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the domestic substantive laws of the State of Delaware without giving effect to any choice of law or conflicts of law provision or rule that would cause the application of the domestic substantive laws of any other jurisdiction. The parties hereto hereby irrevocably submit to the non-exclusive

jurisdiction of any federal or state court located within the State of Delaware over any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby and each party hereby irrevocably agrees that all claims in respect of such dispute or any suit, action or proceeding related thereto may be heard and determined in such courts. The parties hereby irrevocably waive, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, any objection which they may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such dispute brought in such court or any defense of inconvenient forum for the maintenance of such dispute. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a judgment in any such dispute may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Law.

SECTION 9.07 Waiver of Jury Trial. Each party acknowledges and agrees that any controversy which may arise under this Agreement is likely to involve complicated and difficult issues and, therefore, each such party irrevocably and unconditionally waives any right it may have to a trial by jury in respect of any legal action arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Each party to this Agreement certifies and acknowledges that (a) no representative of any other party has represented, expressly or otherwise, that such other party would not seek to enforce the foregoing waiver in the event of a legal action, (b) such party has considered the implications of this waiver, (c) such party makes this waiver voluntarily, and (d) such party has been induced to enter into this Agreement by, among other things, the mutual waivers and certifications in this Section 9.07.

SECTION 9.08 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 provisions 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.

SECTION 9.09 Enforcement.

(a) The parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any provision of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with the terms hereof and that Company, Parent and Merger Sub shall be entitled to specific performance of the terms and provisions hereof (including the obligation to consummate the Merger, subject in each case to the terms and conditions of this Agreement), including an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement by the Company, Parent or Merger Sub, in addition to any other remedy at law or equity. The Company, Parent and Merger Sub each hereby waive (a) any defenses in any action for specific performance, including the defense that a remedy at Law would be adequate and (b) any requirement under any Law to post a bond or other security as a prerequisite to obtaining equitable relief. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in

this Agreement, Parent acknowledges and agrees that in the event of any breach or wrongful repudiation of this Agreement by Parent or Merger Sub, the actual damages incurred by the Company for purposes of determining damages to the extent available as a remedy to the Company under Section 9.09(c) would include the actual damages incurred by the Company’s stockholders in the event such stockholders would not receive the benefit of the bargain negotiated by the Company on their behalf as set forth in this Agreement.

(b) The Company hereby agrees that specific performance as provided for in Section 9.09(a) shall be its sole and exclusive remedy with respect to breaches by Parent, Merger Sub, or any other Person or otherwise in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby (whether in contract, tort or otherwise) and except as provided in Section 9.09(c) below, that it may not seek or accept any other form of relief that may be available for breach under this Agreement or otherwise in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby (including monetary damages).

(c) If a court of competent jurisdiction has declined to specifically enforce the obligations of Parent to consummate the Merger pursuant to a claim for specific performance brought against Parent pursuant to this Section 9.09 and has instead granted an award of damages for such alleged breach against Parent, the Company may enforce such award and accept damages for such alleged breach only if, within two (2) weeks following such determination the Company confirms to Parent in writing that it is prepared and willing to consummate the Merger in accordance with this Agreement, and Parent is not willing to consummate the Merger within such two (2) week period in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. In addition, the Company agrees to cause any legal proceeding still proceeding to be dismissed with prejudice at such time as Parent consummates the Merger in accordance with Article II of this Agreement or is otherwise willing to do so.
