AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER

THIS AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER (this “Agreement”) is dated as of November 3, 2012, by and among HUMANA INC., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), MINER ACQUISITION SUBSIDIARY, INC., a Florida corporation and a wholly-owned Subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Subsidiary”), and METROPOLITAN HEALTH NETWORKS, INC., a Florida corporation (the “Company”).

WHEREAS, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, Merger Subsidiary shall merge with and into the Company with the Company surviving the Merger, pursuant to which each outstanding share of Company Common Stock shall be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration, except for shares of Company Common Stock to be converted pursuant to Section 1.02(b);

WHEREAS, the Company Board has adopted and approved this Agreement and resolved that this Agreement and the Merger, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement and in accordance with the relevant provisions of Florida Law, be recommended and submitted to the Company’s shareholders as being in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders.

WHEREAS, the board of directors of Merger Subsidiary has adopted and approved this Agreement and resolved that this Agreement and the Merger, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement and in accordance with the relevant provisions of Florida Law, be recommended and submitted to Parent, as the sole shareholder of Merger Subsidiary, as being in the best interests of Merger Subsidiary and Parent; and

WHEREAS, the Parent, as the sole shareholder of Merger Subsidiary, has adopted and approved this Agreement and approved the Merger; and

WHEREAS, certain capitalized terms used in this Agreement have the meanings set forth in Section 11.01.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements herein contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:

ARTICLE 1

THE MERGER

SECTION 1.01. The Merger.

(a) Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, at the Effective Time, Merger Subsidiary shall be merged (the “Merger”) with and into the Company in accordance with Florida Law, whereupon the separate existence of Merger Subsidiary shall cease, and the Company shall be the surviving corporation (the “Surviving Corporation”).

(b) Subject to the provisions of Article 8, the closing of the Merger (the “Closing”) shall take place at the offices of Fried, Frank, Harris, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ LLP, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, as soon as possible, but in any event no later than three Business Days after the date the conditions set forth in Article 8 (other than conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or, to the extent permissible, waiver of those conditions at the Closing) have been satisfied or, to the extent permissible, waived by the party or parties entitled to the benefit of such conditions, or at such other place, at such other time or on such other date as Parent and the Company may mutually agree (the “Closing Date”).

(c) Upon the Closing, the Company and Merger Subsidiary shall cause the Merger to be consummated by filing articles of merger (the “Articles of Merger”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Florida, in such

form and with such provisions as are required by, and executed in accordance with, the relevant provisions of Florida Law. The Merger shall become effective at such time (the “Effective Time”) as the Articles of Merger are duly filed with the Department of State of the State of Florida (or at such later time as permitted by Florida Law as Parent and the Company shall agree and shall be specified in the Articles of Merger), which Effective Time shall be the effective date of the Merger contemplated by Section 607.1101(3)(b) of Florida Law.

(d) The effects of the Merger shall be as provided in this Agreement and in the applicable provisions of Florida Law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and subject thereto, at the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall possess all title to the real estate and other property, or any interest therein, and be subject to all of the obligations and liabilities, of the Company and Merger Subsidiary, all as provided under Florida Law.

SECTION 1.02. Conversion of Shares. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the Company, Parent, Merger Subsidiary or the holders of any shares of Company Common Stock or any shares of capital stock of Parent or Merger Subsidiary:

(a) except as otherwise provided in Section 1.02(b), each share of Company Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be automatically converted into and become the right to receive $11.25 in cash, without interest (such per share amount, the “Merger Consideration”); as of the Effective Time, all such shares of Company Common Stock shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and shall cease to exist, and each certificate which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented any such shares of Company Common Stock (each such certificate, a “Certificate”) and each uncertificated share of Company Common Stock (an “Uncertificated Share”) which immediately prior to the Effective Time was registered to a holder on the stock transfer books of the Company, shall thereafter represent only the right to receive the Merger Consideration for each share of Common Stock represented thereby;

(b) each share of Company Common Stock held by the Company or any of its wholly-owned Subsidiaries or owned by Parent, Merger Subsidiary or any of their respective wholly-owned Subsidiaries immediately prior to the Effective Time shall automatically be converted into and become the right to receive $0.0001 in cash without interest; as of the Effective Time, all such shares of Company Common Stock shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and shall cease to exist, and each Certificate and Uncertificated Share which immediately prior to the Effective Time was registered to the Company, any of its wholly-owned Subsidiaries or owned by Parent, Merger Subsidiary or any of their respective wholly-owned Subsidiaries on the stock transfer books of the Company, shall thereafter represent only the right to receive the $0.0001 in cash for each share of Common Stock represented thereby; and

(c) each share of common stock, $1.00 par value, of Merger Subsidiary outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall automatically be converted into and become one newly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock of the Surviving Corporation with the same rights, powers and privileges as the shares so converted and shall constitute the only outstanding shares of capital stock of the Surviving Corporation.

SECTION 1.03. Surrender and Payment.

(a) Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall appoint a commercial bank or trust company that is reasonably satisfactory to the Company (the “Paying Agent”) for the purpose of paying the Merger Consideration to the holders of Company Common Stock entitled thereto and shall enter into a Paying Agent agreement that is reasonably satisfactory to the Company with the Paying Agent. At or prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall deposit, or cause to be deposited, with the Paying Agent, for the benefit (from and after the Effective Time) of the holders of shares of Company Common Stock entitled thereto, for payment in accordance with this Section 1.03 through the Paying Agent, cash sufficient to pay the aggregate Merger Consideration. All cash deposited with the Paying Agent pursuant to this Section 1.03(a) shall herewith be referred to as the “Payment Fund.” Promptly after the Effective Time (and in any event within two Business Days following the

Closing Date), Parent shall send, or shall cause the Paying Agent to send, to each Person who was, immediately prior to the Effective Time, a holder of record of shares of Company Common Stock entitled to receive payment of the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 1.02(a), a letter of transmittal and instructions (which shall specify that the delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title shall pass, only upon proper delivery of the Certificates or transfer of the Uncertificated Shares to the Paying Agent) for use in such payment.

(b) The Paying Agent shall invest any cash in the Payment Fund as directed by Parent; provided, however, that no investment losses thereon shall affect the Merger Consideration payable to holders of shares of Company Common Stock entitled to receive such consideration; provided, further, however, that to the extent necessary to pay the Merger Consideration, Parent shall promptly cause to be deposited additional funds with the Paying Agent for the benefit of holders of shares of Company Common Stock entitled to receive such Merger Consideration up to the amount of such losses. Any interest and other income resulting from such investments shall be the property of, and paid to, Parent upon termination of the Payment Fund.

(c) Each holder of shares of Company Common Stock that have been converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 1.02(a) shall be entitled to receive, upon (i) surrender to the Paying Agent of a Certificate, together with a properly completed letter of transmittal, or (ii) receipt of an “agent’s message” by the Paying Agent (or such other evidence, if any, of transfer as the Paying Agent may reasonably request) in the case of a book-entry transfer of Uncertificated Shares, the Merger Consideration in respect of each share of Company Common Stock represented by a Certificate or each Uncertificated Share. Until so surrendered or transferred, as the case may be, each such Certificate (and the share(s) of Company Common Stock represented thereby) or Uncertificated Share shall represent after the Effective Time for all purposes only the right to receive such Merger Consideration.

(d) If any portion of the Merger Consideration is to be paid to a Person other than the Person in whose name the surrendered Certificate or the transferred Uncertificated Share is registered, it shall be a condition to such payment that (i) either such Certificate shall be properly endorsed or shall otherwise be in proper form for transfer or such Uncertificated Share shall be properly transferred and (ii) the Person requesting such payment shall pay to the Paying Agent any transfer or other taxes required as a result of such payment to a Person other than the registered holder of such Certificate or Uncertificated Share or establish to the satisfaction of the Paying Agent that such tax has been paid or is not payable.

(e) The stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed immediately upon the Effective Time and there shall be no further registration of transfers of shares of Company Common Stock thereafter on the records of the Company. Until surrendered or transferred in accordance with this Section 1.03, each Certificate or Uncertificated Share shall be deemed, from and after the Effective Time, to represent only the right to receive the applicable Merger Consideration provided in Section 1.02(a) or the applicable consideration provided in Section 1.02(b), as the case may be. The applicable Merger Consideration provided in Section 1.02(a) or the applicable consideration provided in Section 1.02(b), as the case may be, paid upon surrender of any Certificate or the transfer of any Uncertificated Share shall be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to that Certificate or Uncertificated Share or any share(s) of the Company Common Stock formerly represented thereby.

(f) To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, any portion of the Merger Consideration made available to the Paying Agent pursuant to Section 1.03(a) that remains unclaimed by the holders of shares of Company Common Stock six months after the Effective Time shall be delivered to Parent or otherwise on the instruction of Parent, and any such holder who has not surrendered Certificate(s) or transferred Uncertificated Share(s) for the Merger Consideration in accordance with this Section 1.03 prior to that time shall thereafter look only to Parent for payment of the Merger Consideration, in respect of such Certificate(s) (and the share(s) of Company Common Stock represented thereby) or Uncertificated Share(s) without any interest thereon. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, Parent shall not be liable to any holder of shares of Company Common Stock for any amounts paid to a public official pursuant to applicable

abandoned property, escheat or similar laws. Any amounts remaining unclaimed by holders of shares of Company Common Stock immediately prior to such time when the amounts would otherwise escheat to or become property of any Governmental Authority shall become, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, the property of Parent free and clear of any claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.

(g) For the avoidance of doubt, Section 1.05 (and not this Section 1.03) shall govern the treatment of each share of Company Restricted Stock (as defined below).

SECTION 1.04. No Appraisal Rights. The parties understand and agree that, subject to the accuracy of the representations of Parent contained in Section 4.08 of this Agreement and assuming that neither Parent nor the Merger Subsidiary has breached any of the covenants contained in Section 6.03 of this Agreement, appraisal rights pursuant to Sections 607.1301 through 607.1333 of Florida Law or otherwise will not be available to the Company’s shareholders in connection with the Merger and no Company shareholder will be entitled to receive appraisal rights.

SECTION 1.05. Outstanding Equity Awards.

(a) Stock Plan. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall take all reasonable actions (including obtaining any necessary determinations and/or resolutions of the board of directors of the Company (the “Company Board”) or a committee thereof and amending the Stock Plan) to terminate the Stock Plan without any further liability on the part of the Company, the Surviving Corporation, Parent or any of their respective Subsidiaries and to effectuate the provisions of this Section 1.05.

(b) Options. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall take all necessary actions (including obtaining any necessary determinations and/or resolutions of the Company Board or a committee thereof) to provide that prior to the Effective Time each outstanding Company Stock Option, whether or not then exercisable or vested, shall become fully vested and exercisable and shall be cancelled in exchange for the right to receive, at the Effective Time, an amount in cash equal to the product of (A) the total number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Company Stock Option immediately prior to the Effective Time, multiplied by (B) the excess, if any, of (x) the Merger Consideration over (y) the exercise price per share of such Company Stock Option, without interest and less any applicable taxes required to be withheld with respect to such payment (the “Option Consideration”). As used herein, the term “Company Stock Option” shall mean any outstanding option to purchase shares of Company Common Stock granted under the Stock Plan. In addition, the Company shall take all necessary actions (including obtaining any necessary determinations and/or resolutions of the compensation committee of the Company Board) to determine that the “Change in Control Price” as defined in the Stock Plan shall be the Merger Consideration.

(c) Restricted Stock. Each outstanding share of restricted Company Common Stock granted pursuant to the Stock Plan (“Company Restricted Stock”) shall immediately prior to the Effective Time become fully vested and, at the Effective Time, shall be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration. As of the Effective Time, all Company Restricted Stock shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled and cease to exist and shall thereafter represent only the right to receive the Merger Consideration.

(d) Cash Settlement through Payroll. Subject to Section 1.07, the Company shall pay, through its payroll system, to each holder of Company Stock Options and Company Restricted Stock, the cash payments provided for pursuant to this Section 1.05 as soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time. Parent agrees to make available to the Surviving Corporation, for the benefit (from and after the Effective Time) of the holders of Company Stock Options and Company Restricted Stock, cash sufficient to pay the cash payments provided for pursuant to this Section 1.05 within the time required by this Section 1.05.

SECTION 1.06. Adjustments.

(a) If, during the period between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time any change in the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock shall occur, as a result of any reclassification, recapitalization,

stock split (including reverse stock split), merger, combination, exchange or readjustment of shares, subdivision or other similar transaction, or any stock dividend or distribution thereon with a record date during such period, the Merger Consideration shall be appropriately adjusted to eliminate the effect of such event on the Merger Consideration payable pursuant to this Agreement. Nothing in this Section 1.06(a) shall be construed to limit any restrictions that may arise under other provisions of this Agreement on actions of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that would cause such an adjustment.

SECTION 1.07. Withholding Rights. Each of the Paying Agent, Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any amounts otherwise payable to any Person pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under any provision of any Applicable Law, including federal, state, local or foreign Tax law, and if any such amounts are deducted and withheld, Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, as the case may be, timely pay such amounts to the appropriate Governmental Authority. If the Paying Agent, Parent or the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, so withholds amounts, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of the shares of Company Common Stock in respect of which the Paying Agent, Parent or the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, made such deduction and withholding.

SECTION 1.08. Lost Certificates. If any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by the Surviving Corporation, the posting by such Person of a bond, in such reasonable amount as the Surviving Corporation may direct (or in such customary amount as the Paying Agent may direct in accordance with its standard procedures), 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 to be paid in respect of each share of Company Common Stock represented by such Certificate, as contemplated by this Article 1.

ARTICLE 2

THE SURVIVING CORPORATION

SECTION 2.01. Articles of Incorporation. The articles of incorporation of the Company, as amended, in effect at the Effective Time shall be the articles of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation until amended in accordance with Applicable Law.

SECTION 2.02. Bylaws. The bylaws of Merger Subsidiary in effect at the Effective Time shall be the bylaws of the Surviving Corporation until amended in accordance with their terms as provided by Applicable Law.

SECTION 2.03. Directors and Officers. From and after the Effective Time, in each case until the earlier of his or her death, resignation or removal or until his or her successors are duly elected and qualified in accordance with Applicable Law, (i) the directors of Merger Subsidiary at the Effective Time shall be the directors of the Surviving Corporation and (ii) the officers of Merger Subsidiary at the Effective Time shall be the officers of the Surviving Corporation.

SECTION 3.05. Capitalization.

(a) The authorized capital stock of the Company consists of 80,000,000 shares of Company Common Stock and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.001 par value, of the Company ( “Company Preferred Stock” and together with Company Common Stock, the “Company Capital Stock”).

SECTION 4.09. Availability of Funds. Parent has cash available to it or has existing undrawn borrowing facilities available to it, and Parent will have as of the Effective Time cash available to it (including from borrowings under the Credit Agreement, as defined below), that are sufficient to enable Parent and Merger Subsidiary to make the payments required to be made by Parent and Merger Subsidiary at the Effective Time, including to pay in full all amounts contemplated to be paid under Article I and Section 7.06 . Exhibit No. 10 to Parent’s Form 8-K, filed with the SEC on November 28, 2011, as disclosed on the website “▇▇▇.▇▇▇,” sets forth a true, complete and correct copy of the executed Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of November 22, 2011, among Parent, the several banks and other financial institutions from time to time parties thereto, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., Bank of America N.A., Citibank, N.A., and ▇▇▇▇▇ Fargo Bank, National Association (the “Credit Agreement”), pursuant to which, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein, the lenders party thereto have committed to lend the amounts set forth therein (the “Financing”) which may be used to fund the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Credit Agreement has not been amended or modified prior to the date of this Agreement, and, as of the date hereof, the respective agreements contained in the Credit Agreement have not been withdrawn, terminated or rescinded in any respect. There are no other agreements, side letters or arrangements to which Parent is a party relating to the Credit Agreement that could affect the availability of the Financing. The Credit Agreement constitutes the legally valid and binding

obligation of Parent and, to the Knowledge of the Parent, the other parties thereto, enforceable in accordance with its terms (except as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors’ rights, and by general equitable principles). The Credit Agreement is in full force and effect and has not been withdrawn, rescinded or terminated, or otherwise amended or modified in any respect, and no such amendment or modification is contemplated. Parent is not in breach of any of the terms or conditions set forth in the Credit Agreement, and no event has occurred which, with or without notice, lapse of time or both, would constitute a breach, default or failure to satisfy any condition precedent set forth therein. No lender has notified Parent of its intention to terminate the Credit Agreement or to not provide the Financing. There are no conditions precedent or other contingencies related to the funding of the full amount of the Financing (including any “flex” provisions), other than as expressly set forth in the Credit Agreement. Parent has paid in full any and all commitment or other fees required by the Credit Agreement that are due as of the date hereof. Parent has no reason to believe that it will be unable to satisfy on a timely basis any conditions to the funding of the full amount of the Financing, or that the Financing will not be available to Parent on the Closing Date. Parent understands and acknowledges that under the terms of this Agreement, Parent’s and Merger Subsidiary’s obligations to consummate the Merger are not in any way contingent upon or otherwise subject to Parent’s or Merger Subsidiary’s consummation of any financing arrangements, Parent’s or Merger Subsidiary’s obtaining of any financing, or the availability, grant, provision or extension of any financing to Parent or Merger Subsidiary.

SECTION 4.10. No Other Representations or Warranties. Except for the representations and warranties of Parent expressly contained in this Agreement, Parent expressly disclaims any other representations or warranties of any kind or nature, express or implied, including as to liabilities, financial projections, future performance of Parent or its Subsidiaries, operations of the facilities, the title, condition, value or quality of Parent or its Subsidiaries or their respective assets. No exhibit to this Agreement, nor any other material or information provided by or communications made by Parent or any of its Affiliates or Representatives, in any information memorandum or otherwise, will cause or create any representation or warranty of Parent, express or implied, including as to the title, condition, value or quality of Parent or its Subsidiaries.

SECTION 5.02. No Solicitation; Other Offers.

(a) The Company shall and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries and each of their respective Affiliates and Representatives to promptly request any such Person or Persons (other than Parent and Merger Subsidiary or their Representatives) with whom there have been any such discussions, activities or negotiations regarding an Acquisition Proposal at any time to promptly return or destroy all confidential information concerning the Company and its Subsidiaries in accordance with the applicable confidentiality agreement between the Company and such Person. Subject to the provisions of this Section 5.02, the Company shall not and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries not to, and shall direct the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ Representatives not to, directly or indirectly, (i) solicit, initiate, knowingly facilitate, or knowingly encourage, the making, submission or public announcement of any inquiry, proposal or offer that constitutes, or would reasonably be expected to constitute, an Acquisition Proposal, (ii) participate in any discussions or negotiations or otherwise cooperate regarding an Acquisition Proposal with, or furnish any nonpublic information regarding an Acquisition Proposal to, any Person that has made an Acquisition Proposal, except that the Company and its Representatives shall be entitled to notify such Person as to the existence of the provisions of this Section 5.02, (iii) enter into any written letter of intent, agreement, contract or agreement in principle regarding an Acquisition Proposal (except for confidentiality agreements permitted under Section 5.02(d), an “Alternative Acquisition Agreement”)), (iv) take any action to make the provisions of any Anti-Takeover Statute inapplicable to any transaction contemplated by an Acquisition Proposal, (v) terminate, amend, release, modify or fail to enforce any provision of, or grant any permission, waiver or request under, any confidentiality, standstill or similar agreement entered into by the Company in respect of or in contemplation of an Acquisition Proposal or (vi) publicly propose to do any of the foregoing (in each case other than disclosure of and compliance with the terms of this Agreement).

(b) From and after the date of this Agreement, the Company shall promptly notify Parent in writing after the Company or any of its Subsidiaries has received any request for discussions or negotiations, or any request for access to the properties or books and records of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, of which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective Representatives is or has become aware, or any request for information relating to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, in each case, in connection with an Acquisition Proposal or any proposal, inquiry, offer or request relating to or constituting an Acquisition Proposal. Such notice to Parent shall indicate the identity of the Person making such proposal or request and the material terms and conditions of such proposal, if any. Following the date hereof, the Company shall promptly advise Parent (and in any event within 24 hours) of any material developments, discussions or negotiations regarding any Acquisition Proposal (whether made before or after the date hereof) or any material change to the financial or other terms of any such Acquisition Proposal.

(c) Except as expressly permitted by or otherwise set forth in this Section 5.02, the Company Board shall not (i)(A) fail to include the Company Board Recommendation in the Proxy Statement, (B) change, qualify, withdraw or modify, or publicly propose to change, qualify, withdraw or modify, in a manner adverse to Parent, the Company Board Recommendation or (C) adopt, approve or recommend, or publicly propose to approve or recommend, to the shareholders of the Company, an Acquisition Proposal or (D) enter into any agreement, contract or agreement in principle requiring the Company to abandon, terminate or breach its obligations under this

Agreement (such actions prohibited by this clause (i) being referred to as a “Company Adverse Recommendation Change”) or (ii) authorize, cause or permit the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company to enter into any Alternative Acquisition Agreement.

(d) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 5.02 to the contrary, at any time prior to obtaining the Company Shareholder Approval:

(i) if (A) the Company receives a written bona fide Acquisition Proposal which the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with a nationally recognized financial advisor and outside nationally recognized legal counsel (which may be the Company’s current outside legal counsel), is or would reasonably be expected to result in a Superior Proposal and (B) the Company has not breached in any material respect Section 5.02(a), the Company may take the following actions: (x) furnish nonpublic information to the Third Party making such Acquisition Proposal, if, and only if, prior to so furnishing such information, the Company receives from the Third Party an executed confidentiality agreement having provisions as to confidential treatment of information that are substantially similar to the confidentiality provisions of the Confidentiality Agreement (and does not omit restrictive provisions contained in the Confidentiality Agreement); provided, however, that the Company shall as promptly as practicable provide to Parent any nonpublic information concerning the Company and its Subsidiaries that is provided to a third party given such access which was not previously provided to Parent or its Representatives, and (y) engage in discussions or negotiations with the Third Party with respect to the Acquisition Proposal; provided, however, that the Company shall as promptly as practicable provide to Parent a copy of any Acquisition Proposal made to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; and

(ii) in response to an Acquisition Proposal, the Company Board may effect a Company Adverse Recommendation Change but only if prior to taking any such action:

(1) the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with a nationally recognized financial advisor and outside nationally recognized legal counsel (which may be the Company’s current outside legal counsel), that such Acquisition Proposal is a Superior Proposal (taking into account any adjustment or revisions offered by Parent and intended to be binding on Parent and Merger Subsidiary in response to such Acquisition Proposal (including pursuant to clause (3) below));

(2) the Company has given Parent at least four Business Days’ prior written notice of its intention to effect a Company Adverse Recommendation Change (the “Negotiation Period”) and has contemporaneously provided to Parent a copy of such Superior Proposal and each of the relevant proposed transaction agreements to be entered into by the Company with the Third Party making such Superior Proposal; and

(3) during the Negotiation Period, the Company has negotiated in good faith with Parent to the extent Parent notifies the Company that it wishes to negotiate, to enable Parent to revise the terms of this Agreement, and either (x) prior to the expiration of the Negotiation Period, Parent shall not have offered an amendment intended to be binding on Parent and Merger Subsidiary to the terms of this Agreement, or (y) if Parent within such period shall have offered an amendment intended to be binding on Parent and Merger Subsidiary to the terms of this Agreement, the Company Board, after consultation with a nationally recognized financial advisor and outside nationally recognized legal counsel (which may be the Company’s current outside legal counsel), shall have determined in good faith that the Third Party’s Acquisition Proposal remains a Superior Proposal with respect to Parent’s revised proposal; provided, however, that each time material modifications to the material terms of an Acquisition Proposal determined to be a Superior Proposal are made, the Negotiation Period shall be extended for two Business Days after written notification of such change to Parent shall have been provided (which notification shall include a copy or description of the Superior Proposal with such material modifications); and

(4) the Company shall not have breached in any material respect this Section 5.02;

in which event, following the satisfaction of each of the foregoing clauses (1) through (4), the Company may terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.01(g); provided, however, that prior to or concurrent with such termination the Company shall have entered into a definitive agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal

and paid Parent the Termination Fee and Expense Reimbursement (to the extent that Parent has at such time provided documentation for such Expense Reimbursement; provided, however, if Parent has not at such time provided documentation for such Expense Reimbursement, the Company shall promptly pay such Expense Reimbursement to Parent upon receiving such documentation) pursuant to the provisions of Section 10.04(b)(v).

(e) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 5.02 to the contrary, at any time prior to obtaining the Company Shareholder Approval, other than in connection with an Acquisition Proposal, the Company Board may effect a Company Adverse Recommendation Change in response to an Intervening Event, but only if prior to taking any such action:

(i) the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside nationally recognized legal counsel (which may be the Company’s current outside legal counsel), that the failure of the Company Board to make a Company Adverse Recommendation Change in response to an Intervening Event would be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary duties under Applicable Law (taking into account any adjustment or revisions proposed by Parent (including pursuant to clause (iii) below));

(ii) the Company Board has given Parent at least three Business Days’ prior written notice of its intention to take such action, which notice shall specify in detail the basis for the Company Adverse Recommendation Change;

(iii) during such three Business Day period, the Company has negotiated, in good faith with Parent (to the extent Parent notifies the Company that it wishes to negotiate), to enable Parent to revise the terms of this Agreement in such a manner that would enable the Company Board to determine in good faith that, irrespective of the occurrence of the Intervening Event, the failure to make a Company Adverse Recommendation Change would no longer be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary duties under Applicable Law; and

(iv) following such three Business Day period, the Company shall have determined in good faith, after consultation with its nationally recognized financial advisor and outside nationally recognized legal counsel (which may be the Company’s current outside legal counsel), that the revisions to this Agreement offered by Parent pursuant to the foregoing clause (iii) would not obviate the need for the Company Board, in accordance with the directors’ fiduciary duties under Applicable Law, to make a Company Adverse Recommendation Change in response to the occurrence of such Intervening Event.

(f) Nothing contained in this Agreement shall prohibit the Company or the Company Board from (i) disclosing to its shareholders a position contemplated by Rules 14d-9 and 14e-2(a) promulgated under the 1934 Act (so long as any disclosure made or action taken is consistent with Section 5.02), or from issuing a “stop, look and listen” statement pending disclosure of its position thereunder or (ii) making any disclosure to its shareholders if the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with the Company’s outside nationally recognized legal counsel (which may be the Company’s current outside legal counsel), that the failure of the Company Board to make such disclosure consistent with Section 5.02 would be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary duties under Applicable Law.

SECTION 5.03. Access to Information; Confidentiality.

(a) From the date of this Agreement until the Effective Time and subject to Applicable Law, the Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, upon reasonable notice and request, (i) give to Parent and its Representatives reasonable access during normal business hours to its offices, properties, books and records, (ii) furnish to Parent and its Representatives, such financial and operating data and other information as such Persons may reasonably request and (iii) instruct its Representatives to cooperate with Parent and its Representatives in its investigation; provided, however, that all such notices or requests by Parent and its Representatives shall be made directly to the Chief Financial Officer of the Company or his designees. Any investigation pursuant to this Section 5.03 shall be conducted in such manner as not to interfere unreasonably

with the conduct of the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries. Nothing contained in this Section 5.03 shall, prior to the Effective Time, require the Company to take any action that would, in the good faith judgment of the Company, constitute a waiver of the attorney-client, work product or similar privilege or trade secret protection held by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or violate confidentiality obligations owing to Third Parties; provided, however, that the Company shall make a good faith effort to accommodate any request from Parent and its Representatives for access or information pursuant to this Section 5.03 in a manner that does not result in such a waiver or violation (including by entering into joint defense or similar agreements with respect thereto).

(b) All information furnished pursuant to this Section 5.03 shall be subject to that certain Confidentiality Agreement, dated as of July 18, 2011 between Parent and the Company (the “Confidentiality Agreement”). The parties acknowledge and agree that nothing in the Confidentiality Agreement shall be deemed to restrict Parent from engaging in discussions and negotiations or making proposals as contemplated by Section 5.02(d) and Section 5.02(e).

SECTION 5.04. Shareholder Litigation. The Company shall give Parent the opportunity to consult with the Company (and the Company shall give due consideration to Parent’s advice) regarding the defense or settlement of any shareholder litigation against the Company and/or its officers or directors relating to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereunder and the Company shall keep Parent reasonably informed with respect to the status of, and any material developments in, any such litigation. The Company shall not settle any such litigation prior to such consultation and consideration and without Parent’s prior written consent (which such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned with respect to any settlement of such litigation that solely involves a cash payment by the Company); provided, however, that such consent shall not be required with respect to any settlement of such litigation that solely involves a cash payment by the Company if such cash payment is made by the Company using only proceeds of one or more of its insurance policies (taking into account applicable deductibles payable by the Company).

SECTION 5.05. Real Estate Matters. Parent, at its sole discretion and expense, may order preliminary title reports from one or more nationally recognized title companies (the “Title Companies”) with respect to any of the Company Owned Real Property (the Company Owned Real Property covered by such reports being referred to herein as the “Titled Property”). The Company, at no expense to the Company, shall use commercially reasonable efforts in connection with Parent’s efforts to obtain title insurance policies pursuant thereto, including, by providing customary affidavits and indemnities as are required by the Title Companies and in a form reasonably acceptable to the Company for the deletion or modification of standard or printed exceptions regarding construction liens, parties in possession and unrecorded title matters so as to remove the “gap” in any title insurance policies issued pursuant thereto, that are customarily deleted by virtue of a seller delivering such instruments in commercial real estate transactions in the state or province in which the Titled Property is located. Such cooperation shall include providing Parent and the Title Companies copies of, with respect to Titled Property, reasonably requested existing surveys, existing title commitments and title insurance policies, to the extent the same are in the possession of the Company or its Subsidiaries and to the extent the same are not publicly available. Neither the Company nor its Subsidiaries shall have any obligation to cure any title matters.
