ARTICLE II

EFFECT OF THE MERGER ON SECURITIES; EXCHANGE

2.1 Effect on Capital Stock.

(a) At the Effective Time, as a result of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder of any capital stock of the Company, Parent or Merger Sub:

(i) Merger Consideration. Each Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than Shares held in treasury, if any (each such Share, an “Excluded Share” and, collectively, “Excluded Shares”)) shall be automatically converted into the right to receive the Exchange Ratio (the aggregate shares of Parent Common Stock issued by applying the Exchange Ratio in accordance with this Section 2.1, the “Merger Consideration”).

(ii) At the Effective Time, all of the Shares (other than Excluded Shares) shall cease to be outstanding, shall be cancelled and shall cease to exist, and (A) each certificate (a “Certificate”) formerly representing any of the Shares (other than Excluded Shares) and (B) each book-entry account formerly representing any uncertificated Shares (“Uncertificated Shares”) (other than Excluded Shares) shall thereafter represent only the right to receive the Merger Consideration, any distributions or dividends payable pursuant to Section 2.2(c) and cash in lieu of any fractional shares of Parent Common Stock payable pursuant to Section 2.2(e), without interest, in each case to be issued or paid in consideration therefor upon surrender of such Certificate in accordance with Section 2.2, in the case of certificated Shares, and upon receipt by the Exchange Agent of an “agent’s message” in customary form in accordance with Section 2.2(i) in the case of Uncertificated Shares.

(iii) Cancellation of Excluded Shares. Each Excluded Share shall, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the Company, Parent, Acquisition Sub, Merger Sub or the holder thereof, cease to be outstanding, shall be cancelled without payment of any consideration therefor and shall cease to exist.

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

2.2 Exchange of Certificates.

(a) Exchange Agent and Exchange Fund. Prior to the Effective Time, the Parties shall designate American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC (“AST”) or if AST is unwilling or unable serve then such other mutually agreeable bank or trust company as the exchange agent in connection with the Merger (the “Exchange Agent”). The Exchange Agent shall also act as the agent for the Company’s stockholders for the purpose of receiving and holding their Certificates and Uncertificated Shares and shall obtain no rights or interests in the shares represented thereby. At the Closing, Parent shall issue and cause to be deposited with the Exchange Agent: (i) non-certificated shares of Parent Common Stock represented by book entry issuable pursuant to Section 2.1(a); and (ii) cash sufficient to make payments in lieu of fractional shares in accordance with Section 2.2(e). The shares of Parent Common Stock and cash amounts so deposited with the Exchange Agent, together with any dividends or distributions received by the Exchange Agent with respect to such shares of Parent Common Stock, are referred to collectively as the “Exchange Fund.”

3

(b) Exchange Procedures. Promptly after the Effective Time (and in any event within three (3) Business Days thereafter), the Exchange Agent shall mail to each holder of record of Shares represented by a Certificate (other than holders of Excluded Shares) or Uncertificated Shares (i) a letter of transmittal in customary form specifying that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of the Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu of the Certificates as provided in Section 2.2(g)) or Uncertificated Shares to the Exchange Agent, such letter of transmittal to be in such form and have such other provisions as Parent and the Company may reasonably agree, and (ii) instructions for surrendering the Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu of the Certificates as provided in Section 2.2(g)) or Uncertificated Shares (including instructions for sending an “agent’s message” in customary form (or such other evidence, if any, as the Exchange Agent may reasonably request)) to the Exchange Agent. Upon surrender of a Certificate (or affidavit of loss in lieu of the Certificate as provided in Section 2.2(g)) to the Exchange Agent in accordance with the terms of such letter of transmittal or with respect to Uncertificated Shares receipt of an “agent’s message” in customary form (or such other evidence, if any, as the Exchange Agent may reasonably request) by the Exchange Agent, the holder of such Certificate or Uncertificated Share shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor non-certificated shares of Parent Common Stock in book-entry form, and cash in lieu of any fractional share of Parent Common Stock pursuant to Section 2.2(e) and any dividends or other distributions pursuant to Section 2.2(c), less any required Tax withholdings as provided in Section 2.2(h). The Certificate or Uncertificated Share so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled. Until due surrender of the Certificates or Uncertificated Share, each Certificate and Uncertificated Share shall be deemed, from and after the Effective Time, to represent only the right to receive shares of Parent Common Stock (and cash in lieu of any fractional share of Parent Common Stock pursuant to Section 2.2(e)). In the event of a transfer of ownership of Shares that is not registered in the transfer records of the Company, the applicable portion of Merger Consideration to be exchanged upon due surrender of the Certificate or Uncertificated Share pursuant to Section 2.1(a) may be issued and paid to such transferee if the Certificate formerly representing such Shares is presented to the Exchange Agent, accompanied by all documents required to evidence and effect such transfer and the Person requesting such payment shall pay any transfer or other Taxes required by reason of the transfer or establish to the reasonable satisfaction of Parent that such Taxes have been paid or are not applicable.

(c) Distributions with Respect to Unexchanged Shares. All shares of Parent Common Stock to be issued pursuant to the Merger shall be deemed issued and outstanding as of the Effective Time and whenever a dividend or other distribution is declared by Parent in respect of the Parent Common Stock, the record date for which is after the Effective Time, that declaration shall include dividends or other distributions in respect of all shares of Parent Common Stock issuable in the Merger. No dividends or other distributions in respect of the Parent Common Stock issued pursuant to the Merger shall be paid to any holder of any unsurrendered Certificate of Uncertificated Share until such Certificate (or affidavit of loss in lieu thereof as provided in Section 2.2(g)) or Uncertificated Share is surrendered for exchange in accordance with this Article II. Subject to the effect of applicable Laws, following surrender of any such Certificate (or affidavit of loss in lieu thereof as provided in Section 2.2(g)) or Uncertificated Share, there shall be issued and/or paid to the holder of the whole shares of Parent Common Stock issued in exchange therefor, without interest thereon, (A) at the time of such surrender, the dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time theretofore payable with respect to such whole shares of Parent Common Stock and not paid and (B) at the appropriate payment date, the dividends or other distributions payable with respect to such whole shares of Parent Common Stock with a record date after the Effective Time, but with a payment date subsequent to surrender.

(d) Transfers. From and after the Effective Time, there shall be no transfers on the stock transfer books of the Company of the Shares that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time.

4

(e) Fractional Shares. No certificate or scrip representing fractional shares of Parent Common Stock shall be issued upon the surrender for exchange of Certificates or Uncertificated Shares, and such fractional share interests shall not entitle the owner thereof to vote or to any other rights of a stockholder of Parent. The Exchange Agent, acting as agent for the holders of Shares otherwise entitled to receive fractional shares of Parent Common Stock, will aggregate all fractional shares of Parent Common Stock that would otherwise have been required to be distributed and cause them to be sold in the open market for the accounts of such holders. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, each holder of Shares who would otherwise have been entitled to receive a fraction of a share of Parent Common Stock shall receive, in lieu thereof, cash, rounded to the nearest whole cent and without interest, in an amount equal to the proceeds from such sale by the Exchange Agent, if any, less any brokerage commissions or other fees, transfer Taxes or other out-of-pocket transaction costs, as well as any expenses of the Exchange Agent incurred from the sale of such fractional shares of Parent Common Stock in accordance with such holder’s fractional interest in the aggregate number of shares of Parent Common Stock sold.

(f) Termination of Exchange Fund. Any portion of the Exchange Fund (including the proceeds of any investments of the Exchange Fund) that remains unclaimed by the stockholders of the Company for one hundred eighty (180) days after the Effective Time shall be delivered, at Parent’s option, to Parent. Any holder of Shares (other than Excluded Shares) who has not theretofore complied with Section 2.2(b) shall thereafter look only to Parent for delivery of any shares of Parent Common Stock, payment of cash in lieu of fractional shares and any dividends and other distributions in respect of the Parent Common Stock to be issued or paid pursuant to the provisions of this Article II (after giving effect to any required Tax withholdings as provided in Section 2.2(h)) upon due surrender of its Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu of the Certificates as provided in Section 2.2(g)) or Uncertificated Share, without any interest thereon. Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the Surviving Corporation, Parent, Exchange Agent or any other Person shall be liable to any former holder of Shares for any amount properly delivered to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Laws. To the fullest extent permitted by Law, immediately prior to the date any Merger Consideration would otherwise escheat to or become the property of any Governmental Entity, such Merger Consideration shall become the property of the Surviving Corporation, free and clear of all claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.

(g) Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. 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 or the Exchange Agent, the posting by such Person of a bond in such reasonable amount as Parent or the Exchange Agent, as applicable, may direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, the Exchange Agent will issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate, the cash in lieu of fractional shares, shares of Parent Common Stock, and any dividends and other distributions in respect of the Parent Common Stock that would have been issuable or payable pursuant to the provisions of this Article II (after giving effect to any required Tax withholdings as provided in Section 2.2(h)) had such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate been surrendered.

(h) Withholding Rights. Each of Parent, the Surviving Corporation and the Exchange Agent (each, a “Withholding Agent”) shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code, or any other applicable state, local or foreign Tax Law. To the extent that amounts are so deducted or withheld by the applicable Withholding Agent, such deducted or withheld amounts (i) shall be remitted by such Withholding Agent to the applicable Governmental Entity and (ii) shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made by such Withholding Agent.

5

(i) Uncertificated Shares. Any holder of Uncertificated Shares shall not be required to deliver a Certificate or an executed letter of transmittal to the Exchange Agent to receive the Merger Consideration, any dividends or other distributions payable pursuant to Section 2.2(c) and cash in lieu of any fractional shares of Parent Common Stock payable pursuant to Section 2.2(e) that such holder is entitled to receive pursuant to this Article II in respect of such Uncertificated Shares. In lieu thereof, each registered holder of one or more Uncertificated Shares whose Shares were converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration, any distributions or dividends payable pursuant to Section 2.2(c) and cash in lieu of any fractional shares of Parent Common Stock payable pursuant to Section 2.2(e), shall, upon receipt by the Exchange Agent of an “agent’s message” in customary form (or such other evidence, if any, as the Exchange Agent may reasonably request), be entitled to receive, and the Surviving Corporation shall cause the Exchange Agent to pay and deliver as soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time, the Merger Consideration, any dividends or other distributions payable pursuant to Section 2.2(c) and cash in lieu of any fractional shares of Parent Common Stock payable pursuant to Section 2.2(e) for each Uncertificated Share, and the Uncertificated Shares of such holder shall forthwith be cancelled. No interest will be paid or accrued on any amount payable to a holder of Uncertificated Shares.

2.3 Adjustments to Prevent Dilution. In the event that the Company changes the number of Shares or securities convertible or exchangeable into or exercisable for any such Shares, or Parent changes the number of shares of Parent Common Stock or securities convertible or exchangeable into or exercisable for any such Parent Common Stock, in each case 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, reorganization, subdivision, or other similar transaction, the Merger Consideration shall be equitably adjusted to eliminate the effects of such event on the Merger Consideration.

2.4 Treatment of Equity Awards, ESPP and Warrants.

(a) At the Effective Time, each Company Option held by a continuing employee or service provider that is outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than a Company Option covered by Section 2.4(b)) shall, without any action on the part of Parent, the Company or the holder thereof, cease to represent a right to acquire Shares and shall be substituted and converted automatically into a Parent option award to purchase the number of shares of Parent Common Stock (each, an “Adjusted Option”) equal to the product obtained by multiplying (i) the number of Shares subject to the Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time, by (ii) the Exchange Ratio, with any fractional shares rounded down to the nearest whole share. Each Adjusted Option shall have an exercise price per share of Parent Common Stock equal to (x) the per share exercise price for Shares subject to the corresponding Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time, divided by (y) the Exchange Ratio, rounded up to the nearest whole cent. Each Adjusted Option shall otherwise be subject to the same terms and conditions applicable to the corresponding Company Option under the applicable Company Stock Plans and the agreements evidencing grants thereunder, including vesting terms.

(b) At the Effective Time, each unvested Company Option held by any former employee, former service provider or director of the Company or a Company Subsidiary that is outstanding and unexercised as of immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be cancelled without the payment of any consideration and each vested Company Option held by any former employee, former service provider or director of the Company or a Company Subsidiary that is outstanding and unexercised as of immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, without any action on the part of Parent, the Company or the holder thereof, be cancelled and converted into a right to receive the number of shares of Parent Common Stock equal to (i) the number of Shares subject to the Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by the excess, if any, of (x) the Company Share Value over (y) the per share exercise for Shares subject to the corresponding Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time, divided by (ii) the Company Share Value multiplied by (iii) the Exchange Ratio, with any fractional shares rounded down to the nearest whole share.

6

(c) At the Effective Time, each Company RSU (other than a Company RSU covered by Section 2.4(d)) held by a continuing employee or service provider that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether or not vested or issuable, shall, as of the Effective Time, automatically and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, be substituted and converted automatically into a Parent restricted stock unit award with respect to a number of shares of Parent Common Stock (each, an “Adjusted RSU”) equal to the product obtained by multiplying (i) the total number of Shares subject to the Company RSU immediately prior to the Effective Time by (ii) the Exchange Ratio, with any fractional shares rounded down to the nearest whole share. Each Adjusted RSU shall otherwise be subject to the same terms and conditions applicable to the corresponding Company RSU under the applicable Company Stock Plans and the agreements evidencing grants thereunder, including vesting terms.

(d) At the Effective Time, each unvested Company RSU held by any former employee, former service provider or director of the Company or a Company Subsidiary that is outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be cancelled without the payment of any consideration, and each vested Company RSU held by any former employee or former service provider of the Company or a Company Subsidiary that is outstanding and unexercised as of immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, without any action on the part of Parent, the Company or the holder thereof, be cancelled and converted into a right to receive the number of shares of Parent Common Stock equal to (i) the number of Shares subject to the Company RSU immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by (ii) the Exchange Ratio, with any fractional shares rounded down to the nearest whole share.

(e) Further Action. At or prior to the Effective Time, the Company and the Company Board shall adopt any resolutions and take any actions which are necessary to effectuate the treatment of the Company RSUs and Company Options (collectively, the “Company Equity Awards”) set forth in this Section 2.4. As of the Effective Time, the Company Stock Plans will terminate and all rights under any other plan, program or arrangement providing for the issuance or grant of any other interest with respect to the capital stock of the Company or any Company Subsidiary will be cancelled. At the Effective Time, Parent shall take all actions as are reasonably necessary to substitute the Company Equity Awards in accordance with the terms of this Section 2.4.

(f) As soon as practicable following the Effective Time, Parent shall prepare and file with the SEC a Form S-8 (or file such other appropriate form) registering a number of shares of Parent Common Stock necessary to fulfill Parent’s obligations under this Section 2.4. Parent shall take all corporate action necessary to reserve for issuance a sufficient number of shares of Parent Common Stock for delivery with respect to the Company Equity Awards assumed by it in accordance with this Section 2.4.

(g) As soon as practicable following the date hereof, the Company shall take all actions with respect to the ESPP to provide that with respect to any offering periods in effect as of the date hereof (the “Current Purchase Period”), (i) no employee who is not a participant in the ESPP as of the date hereof may become a participant in the ESPP and (ii) each individual participating in the Current Purchase Period in progress on the date of this Agreement shall not be permitted to increase his or her payroll contribution rate pursuant to the ESPP from the rate in effect immediately prior to the date of this Agreement, except as may be required by applicable Law. In addition, (A) the Company will end the Current Purchase Period on a specified trading day occurring at least ten (10) days prior to the date on which the Closing Date; (B) there will be no offering periods following the Current Purchase Period and (C) in all events, the Company shall terminate the ESPP prior to the Effective Time. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall take all actions (including, if appropriate, amending the terms of the ESPP) that are necessary to give effect to the transactions contemplated by this Section 2.4(g).

7

(h) At the Effective Time, each warrant that is outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the Effective Time (a “Company Warrant”) shall, without any action on the part of Parent, the Company or the holder thereof, cease to represent a right to acquire Shares and shall be substituted and converted automatically into a warrant to purchase the number of shares of Parent Common Stock (each, an “Adjusted Warrant”) equal to the product obtained by multiplying (i) the number of Shares subject to the Company Warrant immediately prior to the Effective Time, by (ii) the Exchange Ratio, with any fractional shares rounded down to the nearest whole share. Each Adjusted Warrant shall have an exercise price per share of Parent Common Stock equal to (x) the per share exercise price for Shares subject to the corresponding Company Warrant immediately prior to the Effective Time, divided by (y) the Exchange Ratio, rounded up to the nearest whole cent. Each Adjusted Warrant shall otherwise be subject to the same terms and conditions applicable to the corresponding Company Warrant.

2.5 Calculation of Company Net Cash.

(a) For purposes of this Agreement, the “Anticipated Closing Date” shall be the anticipated date for Closing, as agreed upon by Parent and the Company at least 10 days prior to the later of (i) the Company Stockholders Meeting and (ii) the Parent Stockholders Meeting, in each case subject to adjournment or postponement pursuant to Section 5.5. At least five days prior to the Anticipated Closing Date, the Company shall deliver to Parent a schedule (the “Net Cash Schedule”) setting forth, in reasonable detail, the Company’s good faith, estimated calculation of the Company Net Cash (the “Net Cash Calculation”) as of the Anticipated Closing Date, prepared and certified by the Company’s Chief Financial Officer (or if there is no Chief Financial Officer, the principal accounting officer). The Company shall make available to Parent, or its accountants and/or counsel, the work papers and back-up materials used or useful in preparing the Net Cash Schedule, as reasonably requested by Parent.

(b) Within three days after delivery of the Net Cash Schedule (the “Response Date”), Parent will have the right to dispute any part of the Net Cash Schedule by delivering a written notice to that effect to the Company (a “Dispute Notice”). Any Dispute Notice shall identify in reasonable detail the nature of any proposed revisions to the Net Cash Calculation.

(c) If on or prior to the Response Date, Parent (i) notifies the Company in writing that it has no objections to the Net Cash Calculation or (ii) fails to deliver a Dispute Notice as provided in Section 2.5(a), then the Net Cash Calculation as set forth in the Net Cash Schedule shall be deemed to have been finally determined for purposes of this Agreement and to represent Company Net Cash at the Anticipated Closing Date for purposes of this Agreement.

(d) If Parent delivers a Dispute Notice on or prior to the Response Date, then Representatives of both parties shall promptly meet and attempt in good faith to resolve the disputed item(s) and negotiate an agreed-upon determination of Company Net Cash, which agreed upon Company Net Cash amount shall be deemed to have been finally determined for purposes of this Agreement and to represent the Company Net Cash, at the Anticipated Closing Date for purposes of this Agreement.

8

(e) If Representatives of Parent and the Company are unable to negotiate an agreed-upon determination of Company Net Cash at the Anticipated Closing Date pursuant to Section 2.5(d) within three days after delivery of the Dispute Notice (or such other period as Parent and the Company may mutually agree upon), then Parent and the Company shall jointly select an independent auditor of recognized national standing (the “Accounting Firm”) to resolve any remaining disagreements as to the Net Cash Calculation. The Company shall promptly deliver to the Accounting Firm the work papers and back-up materials used in preparing the Net Cash Schedule, and Parent and the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Accounting Firm to make its determination within 10 days after accepting its selection. The Company and Parent shall be afforded the opportunity to present to the Accounting Firm any material related to the unresolved disputes and to discuss the issues with the Accounting Firm; provided, that no such presentation or discussion shall occur without the presence of a Representative of each of the Company and Parent. The determination of the Accounting Firm shall be limited to the disagreements submitted to the Accounting Firm. The determination of the amount of Company Net Cash, made by the Accounting Firm shall be deemed to have been finally determined for purposes of this Agreement and to represent Company Net Cash at the Anticipated Closing Date for purposes of this Agreement, and the parties shall delay the Closing until the resolution of the matters described in this Section 2.5(d). The fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be allocated between Parent and Company in the same proportion that the disputed amount of Company Net Cash that was unsuccessfully disputed by such party (as finally determined by the Accounting Firm) bears to the total disputed amount of Company Net Cash, (and for the avoidance of doubt the fees and expenses to be paid by the Company shall reduce Company Net Cash). If this Section 2.5(d) applies as to the determination of Company Net Cash at the Anticipated Closing Date, upon resolution of the matter in accordance with this Section 2.5(d), the parties shall not be required to determine Company Net Cash again, even if the Closing Date occurs later than the Anticipated Closing Date, except that either party may request a re-determination of Company Net Cash if the Closing Date is more than five business days after the Anticipated Closing Date.

2.6 No Dissenter’s Rights. In accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL, no appraisal rights shall be available to holders of Shares in connection with the Merger or any other transaction contemplated by this Agreement.

2.7 Withholding Rights . Each of the Parent, the Merger Sub, the Company, the Surviving Corporation and the Exchange Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement, including any consideration payable pursuant to the Merger, to any holder of Shares, Company Options, Company RSUs or any other recipient of payments hereunder any amounts it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code or any other applicable state, local or foreign Tax law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld and timely remitted by the Parent, the Merger Sub, the Company, the Surviving Corporation or the Exchange Agent, as the case may be, to the applicable Governmental Entity, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder or other recipient in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.

(iv) enter into any binding or nonbinding letter of intent, term sheet, memorandum of understanding, merger agreement, acquisition agreement, agreement in principle, option agreement, joint venture agreement, partnership agreement, lease agreement or other similar agreement with respect to a Company Acquisition Proposal or any proposal or offer that could reasonably be expected to lead to a Company Acquisition Proposal;

40

(v) adopt, approve or recommend or make any public statement approving or recommending any inquiry, proposal or offer that constitutes, or could reasonably be expected to lead to, a Company Acquisition Proposal (including by approving any transaction, or approving any Person becoming an “interested stockholder,” for purposes of Section 203 of the DGCL); take any action or exempt any Person (other than Parent and its Subsidiaries) from the restriction on “business combinations” or any similar provision contained in applicable takeover laws or the Company’s organizational or other governing documents; or

The Company shall take all actions necessary to enforce its rights under the provisions of any “standstill” agreement between the Company and any Person (other than Parent), and, subject to Section 5.2(b), shall not grant any waiver of, or agree to any amendment or modification to, any such agreement, to permit such Person to submit a Company Acquisition Proposal.

(b) Fiduciary Exception to No Solicitation Provision.

41

(c) Notice. The Company shall promptly (and, in any event, within 24 hours) notify Parent (orally and in writing) if (i) any written or other inquiries, proposals or offers with respect to a Company Acquisition Proposal or any inquiries, proposals, offers or requests for information relating to or that could reasonably be expected to lead to a Company Acquisition Proposal are received by the Company, (ii) any non-public information is requested in connection with any Company Acquisition Proposal from the Company or (iii) any discussions or negotiation with respect to or that could reasonably be expected to lead to a Company Acquisition Proposal are sought to be initiated or continued with the Company, indicating, in connection with such notice, the name of such Person and the material terms and conditions of any proposals or offers (including, if applicable, copies of any written requests, proposals or offers, including proposed agreements and other material written communications or, if oral, a summary of the material terms and conditions of such proposal or offer), and thereafter shall keep Parent informed, on a current basis (and in any event within 24 hours), of any material developments with respect to any such proposals or offers (including any amendments thereto) and the status of any such discussions or negotiations, including by promptly providing copies of any additional written requests, proposals or offers, including any drafts of proposed agreements and any amendments thereto and other information set forth above. The Company agrees that it and its Subsidiaries will not enter into any confidentiality agreement with any Person subsequent to the date of this Agreement which prohibits the Company from providing any information to Parent in accordance with this Section 5.2 or otherwise prohibits the Company from complying with its obligations under this Section 5.2. The Company further agrees that it will not provide information to any Person pursuant to any confidentiality agreement entered into prior to the date of this Agreement unless such Person agrees prior to receipt of such information to waive any provision that would prohibit the Company from providing any information to Parent in accordance with this Section 5.2 or otherwise prohibit the Company from complying with its obligations under this Section 5.2.

(d) Definitions. For purposes of this Agreement:

“Company Acquisition Proposal” means any proposal (other than a proposal or offer by Parent or any of its Subsidiaries) for (i) any merger, consolidation, share exchange, business combination, issuance of securities, direct or indirect acquisition of securities, recapitalization, tender offer, exchange offer or other similar transaction in which a Person or “group” (as defined in the Exchange Act and the rules promulgated thereunder) of Persons directly or indirectly acquires, or if consummated in accordance with its terms would acquire, beneficial or record ownership of securities representing more than 20% of the outstanding shares of any class of voting securities of the Company; (ii) issuance or acquisition of securities representing more than 20% of the outstanding shares of any class of voting securities of the Company; (iii) any direct or indirect sale, lease, exchange, transfer, acquisition or disposition of any assets of the Company and of the subsidiaries of the Company that constitute or account for (x) more than 20% of the consolidated net revenues of the Company, consolidated net income of the Company or consolidated book value of the Company; or (y) more than 20% of the fair market value of the consolidated assets of the Company; or (iv) any liquidation or dissolution of the Company.

(f) Fiduciary Exception to No Company Change in Recommendation Provision. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 5.2(e), following receipt of an unsolicited, bona fide written Company Acquisition Proposal by the Company after the date of this Agreement that did not result from a breach of Section 5.2(a) and with respect to which the Company has received a written, definitive form of Company Alternative Acquisition Agreement that has not been withdrawn, and the Company Board determining in good faith, after consultation with independent financial advisors and outside legal counsel, that such Company Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Company Superior Proposal, the Company Board may, at any time prior to the time the Company Stockholder Approval is obtained, make a Company Change in Recommendation with respect to such Company Superior Proposal, if all of the following conditions are met:

(i) the Company shall have complied in all material respects with the provisions of this Section 5.2 and shall have (A) provided to Parent four Business Days’ prior written notice, which shall state expressly (1) that it has received a written Company Acquisition Proposal that constitutes a Company Superior Proposal, (2) the material terms and conditions of the Company Acquisition Proposal (including the consideration offered therein and the identity of the Person or group making the Company Acquisition Proposal), and shall have contemporaneously provided an unredacted copy of the Company Alternative Acquisition Agreement and all other written documents and a summary of the material terms of oral communications related to the Company Superior Proposal (it being understood and agreed that any amendment to the financial terms or any other material term or condition of such Company Superior Proposal shall require a new notice and an additional two Business Day period) and (3) that, subject to clause (ii) below, the Company Board has determined to effect a Company Change in Recommendation, and (B) prior to making such a Company Change in Recommendation, (x) engaged in good faith negotiations with Parent (to the extent Parent wishes to engage) during such notice period to consider adjustments to the terms and conditions of this Agreement which may be proposed in writing by Parent such that the Company Alternative Acquisition Agreement ceases to constitute a Company Superior Proposal, and (y) in determining whether to make a Company Change in Recommendation, the Company Board shall take into account any changes to the terms of this Agreement proposed in writing by Parent; and

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

(g) Company Change in Recommendation Due to Company Intervening Event. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 5.2(e), upon the occurrence of any Company Intervening Event, the Company Board may, at any time prior to the time the Company Stockholder Approval is obtained, make a Company Change in Recommendation, if all of the following conditions are met:

(i) the Company shall have (A) provided to Parent four Business Days’ prior written notice, which shall (1) set forth in reasonable detail information describing the Company Intervening Event and the rationale for the Company Change in Recommendation (it being understood and agreed that any amendment to the facts and circumstances relating to the Company Intervening Event shall require a new notice and an additional two Business Day period), and (2) state expressly that, subject to clause (ii) below, the Company Board has determined to effect a Company Change in Recommendation and (B) prior to making such a Company Change in Recommendation, engaged in good faith negotiations with Parent (to the extent Parent wishes to engage) during such four Business Day period to consider adjustments to the terms and conditions of this Agreement which may be proposed in writing by Parent in such a manner that the failure of the Company Board to make a Company Change in Recommendation in response to the Company Intervening Event in accordance with clause (ii) below would no longer be reasonably expected to be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law; and

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

44

(h) Certain Permitted Disclosure. Nothing contained in this Section 5.2 shall be deemed to prohibit the Company from complying with its disclosure obligations under applicable U.S. federal or state Law with regard to a Company Acquisition Proposal; provided that any “stop look and listen” communication to its stockholders of the nature contemplated by Rule 14d-9 under the Exchange Act shall include an affirmative statement to the effect that the recommendation of the Company Board is affirmed or remains unchanged; provided, further, that this Section 5.2(h) shall not be deemed to permit the Company or the Company Board to effect a Company Change in Recommendation except in accordance with Sections 5.2(f) or 5.2(g). The Company shall not submit to the vote of its stockholders any Company Acquisition Proposal or Company Superior Proposal prior to the termination of this Agreement.

conditions of such proposal or offer), and thereafter shall keep the Company informed, on a current basis (and in any event within 24 hours), of any material developments with respect to any such proposals or offers (including any amendments thereto) and the status of any such discussions or negotiations, including by promptly providing copies of any additional written requests, proposals or offers, including any drafts of proposed agreements and any amendments thereto and other information set forth above. Parent agrees that it and its Subsidiaries will not enter into any confidentiality agreement with any Person subsequent to the date of this Agreement which prohibits Parent from providing any information to the Company in accordance with this Section 5.3 or otherwise prohibits Parent from complying with its obligations under this Section 5.3. Parent further agrees that it will not provide information to any Person pursuant to any confidentiality agreement entered into prior to the date of this Agreement unless such Person agrees prior to receipt of such information to waive any provision that would prohibit Parent from providing any information to the Company in accordance with this Section 5.3 or otherwise prohibit Parent from complying with its obligations under this Section 5.3.

(d) Definitions. For purposes of this Agreement:

“Parent Acquisition Proposal” means any proposal (other than a proposal or offer by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries) for (i) any merger, consolidation, share exchange, business combination, issuance of securities, direct or indirect acquisition of securities, recapitalization, tender offer, exchange offer or other similar transaction in which a Person or “group” (as defined in the Exchange Act and the rules promulgated thereunder) of Persons directly or indirectly acquires, or if consummated in accordance with its terms would acquire, beneficial or record ownership of securities representing more than 20% of the outstanding shares of any class of voting securities of the Parent; (ii) issuance or acquisition of securities representing more than 20% of the outstanding shares of any class of voting securities of Parent; (iii) except as permitted pursuant to Section 5.1(b) of this Agreement or as disclosed in Section 5.1(b) of the Parent Disclosure Letter, any direct or indirect sale, lease, exchange, transfer, acquisition or disposition of any assets of Parent and of the subsidiaries of Parent that constitute or account for (x) more than 20% of the consolidated net revenues of Parent, consolidated net income of Parent or consolidated book value of Parent; or (y) more than 20% of the fair market value of the consolidated assets of Parent; or (iv) any liquidation or dissolution of Parent.

“Parent Intervening Event” means any event or development that has a material effect on Parent and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole, occurring or arising after the date of this Agreement that (i) was not known to, or reasonably foreseeable by, the Parent Board prior to the execution of this Agreement, which event, occurrence, fact, condition, change, development or effect becomes known to, or reasonably foreseeable by, the Parent Board prior to the receipt of the Parent Stockholder Approval and (ii) does not relate to (A) a Parent Acquisition Proposal or (B) (1) any changes in the market price or trading volume of the Company or Parent (it being understood that the cause of such change may be taken into consideration unless otherwise excluded pursuant hereto), (2) the Company or Parent meeting, failing to meet or exceeding published or unpublished revenue or earnings projections, in each case in and of itself (it being understood that the cause of such change may be taken into consideration unless otherwise excluded pursuant hereto), (3) any events or developments relating to the Company or any of the Company Affiliates, (4) any event or development generally affecting the industries in which Company or Parent operate or in the economy generally or other general business, financial or market conditions, (5) any change in any applicable Law and (iii) any event or development to the extent directly resulting from the announcement or pendency of, or any actions required to be taken by the Company or Parent (or refrained to be taken by the Company or Parent) pursuant to the Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

47

“Parent Superior Proposal” means any bona fide, binding, written Parent Acquisition Proposal on terms which the Parent Board determines in its good faith judgment, after consultation with outside counsel and an independent financial advisor, would reasonably be expected to be consummated in accordance with its terms, taking into account all legal, financial and regulatory aspects of the proposal and the Person or group of Persons making the proposal, and, if consummated, would result in a transaction more favorable to the Parent’s stockholders from a financial point of view than the Merger (after taking into account any revisions to the terms of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement pursuant to Section 5.3(f) of this Agreement and the time likely to be required to consummate such Parent Acquisition Proposal); provided that for purposes of the definition of “Parent Superior Proposal”, the references to “20%” in the definition of Company Acquisition Proposal shall be deemed to be references to “50%.”

(e) No Parent Change in Recommendation or Parent Alternative Acquisition Agreement. Except as provided in Sections 5.3(f) and 5.3(g), the Parent Board and each committee of the Parent Board shall not (i) withhold, withdraw, qualify or modify (or publicly propose or resolve to withhold, withdraw, qualify or modify), in a manner adverse to Parent, the Parent Board Recommendation or approve, recommend or otherwise declare advisable (or publicly propose or resolve to approve, recommend or otherwise declare advisable) any Parent Acquisition Proposal or make or authorize the making of any public statement (oral or written) that has the substantive effect of such a withdrawal, qualification or modification, or remove the Parent Board Recommendation from or fail to include the Parent Board Recommendation in the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus (a “Parent Change in Recommendation”) or (ii) cause or permit Parent or any of its Subsidiaries to enter into any letter of intent, term sheet, memorandum of understanding, agreement in principle, acquisition agreement, merger agreement, option agreement, joint venture agreement, partnership agreement, lease agreement or other similar agreement (other than a confidentiality agreement referred to in Section 5.3(b) entered into in compliance with Section 5.3(a)) relating to or that could reasonably be expected to lead to any Parent Acquisition Proposal or requiring Parent (or that would require or could reasonably be expected to require Parent) to abandon, terminate, or fail to consummate the Merger or any other transaction contemplated by this Agreement or that would otherwise materially impede, interfere with or be inconsistent with, the transactions contemplated hereby (a “Parent Alternative Acquisition Agreement”).

(f) Fiduciary Exception to No Parent Change in Recommendation Provision. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 5.3(e), following receipt of an unsolicited, bona fide written Parent Acquisition Proposal by Parent after the date of this Agreement that did not result from a breach of Section 5.3(a) and with respect to which Parent has received a written, definitive form of Parent Alternative Acquisition Agreement that has not been withdrawn, and the Parent Board determining in good faith, after consultation with independent financial advisors and outside legal counsel, that such Parent Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Parent Superior Proposal, the Parent Board may, at any time prior to the time the Parent Stockholder Approval is obtained, make a Parent Change in Recommendation with respect to such Parent Superior Proposal, if all of the following conditions are met:

(i) the Parent shall have complied in all material respects with the provisions of this Section 5.3 and shall have (A) provided to the Company four Business Days’ prior written notice, which shall state expressly (1) that it has received a written Parent Acquisition Proposal that constitutes a Parent Superior Proposal, (2) the material terms and conditions of the Parent Acquisition Proposal (including the consideration offered therein and the identity of the Person or group making the Parent Acquisition Proposal), and shall have contemporaneously provided an unredacted copy of the Parent Alternative Acquisition Agreement and all other written documents and a summary of the material terms of oral communications related to the Parent Superior Proposal (it being understood and agreed that any amendment to the financial terms or any other material term or condition of such Parent Superior Proposal shall require a new notice and an additional two

48

Business Day period) and (3) that, subject to clause (ii) below, the Parent Board has determined to effect a Parent Change in Recommendation, and (B) prior to making such a Parent Change in Recommendation, (x) engaged in good faith negotiations with the Company (to the extent the Company wishes to engage) during such notice period to consider adjustments to the terms and conditions of this Agreement which may be proposed in writing by the Company such that the Parent Alternative Acquisition Agreement ceases to constitute a Parent Superior Proposal, and (y) in determining whether to make a Parent Change in Recommendation, the Parent Board shall take into account any changes to the terms of this Agreement proposed in writing by Parent; and

(ii) the Parent Board shall have determined, in good faith, after consultation with independent financial advisors and outside legal counsel, that, in light of such Parent Superior Proposal and taking into account any revised terms proposed in writing by Parent, such Parent Superior Proposal continues to constitute a Parent Superior Proposal and, after consultation with outside legal counsel, that the failure to make such Parent Change in Recommendation would be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law.

(g) Parent Change in Recommendation Due to Parent Intervening Event. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 5.3(e), upon the occurrence of any Parent Intervening Event, the Parent Board may, at any time prior to the time the Parent Stockholder Approval is obtained, make a Parent Change in Recommendation, if all of the following conditions are met:

(i) Parent shall have (A) provided to the Company four Business Days’ prior written notice, which shall (1) set forth in reasonable detail information describing the Parent Intervening Event and the rationale for the Parent Change in Recommendation (it being understood and agreed that any amendment to the facts and circumstances relating to the Parent Intervening Event shall require a new notice and an additional two Business Day period), and (2) state expressly that, subject to clause (ii) below, the Parent Board has determined to effect a Parent Change in Recommendation and (B) prior to making such a Parent Change in Recommendation, engaged in good faith negotiations with the Company (to the extent the Company wishes to engage) during such four Business Day period to consider adjustments to the terms and conditions of this Agreement which may be proposed in writing by the Company in such a manner that the failure of the Parent Board to make a Parent Change in Recommendation in response to the Parent Intervening Event in accordance with clause (ii) below would no longer be reasonably expected to be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law; and

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

(h) Certain Permitted Disclosure. Nothing contained in this Section 5.3 shall be deemed to prohibit Parent from complying with its disclosure obligations under applicable U.S. federal or state Law with regard to a Parent Acquisition Proposal; provided that that any “stop look and listen” communication to its stockholders of the nature contemplated by Rule 14d-9 under the Exchange Act shall include an affirmative statement to the effect that the recommendation of the Parent Board is affirmed or remains unchanged; provided, further, that this Section 5.3(h) shall not be deemed to permit Parent or the Parent Board to effect a Parent Change in Recommendation except in accordance with Sections 5.3(f) or 5.3(g). Parent shall not submit to the vote of its stockholders any Parent Acquisition Proposal or Parent Superior Proposal prior to the termination of this Agreement.

49

(i) Breach by Representatives. Parent agrees any action taken by any director, officer, outside legal counsel or Parent Affiliate or by the Parent Financial Advisor (collectively, the “Parent Specified Representatives”) that, if taken by Parent, would constitute a breach of any provision set forth in this Section 5.3 shall be deemed to constitute a breach of such provision by Parent.

5.4 Information Supplied. The Company and Parent shall jointly prepare and cause to be filed with the SEC a joint proxy statement (as amended or supplemented from time to time, the “Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus”) with respect to the Company Stockholders Meeting and the Parent Stockholders Meeting. As promptly as practicable following the date of this Agreement, Parent shall prepare (with the Company’s reasonable cooperation) and file with the SEC a registration statement on Form S-4 (as amended or supplemented from time to time, the “Form S-4”), in which the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus will be included as a prospectus, in connection with the registration under the Securities Act of the shares of Parent Common Stock to be issued in the Merger. Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts to have the Form S-4 declared effective under the Securities Act as promptly as practicable after such filing and to keep the Form S-4 effective as long as is necessary to consummate the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby. Parent shall also take any action (other than qualifying to do business in any jurisdiction in which it is not now so qualified or filing a general consent to service of process) required to be taken under any applicable state securities or “blue sky” laws in connection with the issuance of shares of Parent Common Stock in the Merger. Each of the Company and Parent shall furnish all information concerning the Company and the holders of Shares and Parent and the holders of the capital stock of Parent, as applicable, as may be reasonably requested in connection with any such action. Each of the Company and Parent shall use reasonable best efforts to cause the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus to be mailed to the Company’s stockholders and Parent’s stockholders, as applicable, as promptly as practicable after the Form S-4 is declared effective under the Securities Act.

(a) No filing of, or amendment or supplement to, the Form S-4 will be made by Parent, and no filing of, or amendment or supplement to, the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus will be made by the Company or Parent, in each case without providing the other Party a reasonable opportunity to review and comment thereon (other than, in each case, any filing, amendment or supplement in connection with a Company Change in Recommendation or a Parent Change in Recommendation, as applicable), and each Party shall consider in good faith all comments reasonably proposed by the other Party. Each of the Company and Parent shall promptly provide the other with copies of all such filings, amendments or supplements to the extent not publicly available. Each of the Company and Parent shall furnish all information concerning such Person and its Affiliates to the other and provide such other assistance as may be reasonably requested by such other Party to be included therein and shall otherwise reasonably assist and cooperate with the other in the preparation of the Form S-4 or Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus, as applicable, and the resolution of any comments to either received from the SEC. If at any time prior to the receipt of the Company Stockholder Approval or the Parent Stockholder Approval, any information relating to the Company or Parent, or any of their respective Affiliates, directors or officers, should be discovered by the Company or Parent which is required to be set forth in an amendment or supplement to either the Form S-4 or the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus, so that either such document would not include any misstatement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, the Party which discovers such information shall promptly notify the other Party and an appropriate amendment or supplement describing such information shall be promptly filed with the SEC and, to the extent required by applicable Law, disseminated to the stockholders of the Company or the stockholders of Parent, as applicable. The Parties shall notify each other promptly of the receipt of any comments from the SEC or the staff of the SEC and of any request by the SEC or the staff of the SEC for amendments or supplements to the Form S-4 or the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus, or for additional information and shall supply each other with copies of (i) all correspondence between it or any of its Representatives, on the one hand, and the SEC or the staff of the

50

SEC, on the other hand, with respect to the Form S-4, Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus or the Merger and (ii) all orders of the SEC relating to the Form S-4. No response to any comments from the SEC or the staff of the SEC relating to the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus will be made by either Party without providing the other a reasonable opportunity to review and comment thereon unless pursuant to a telephone call initiated by the SEC, and each Party shall consider in good faith all comments reasonably proposed by the other Party. The Parties will cause the Form S-4 and Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus to comply as to form in all material respects with the applicable provisions of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder.

5.5 Company and Parent Stockholder Meetings.

(a) Company Stockholders Meeting.

(i) The Company will, as promptly as practicable in accordance with applicable Law and the Company Charter and Company Bylaws, establish a record date for, duly call and give notice of, and use its reasonable best efforts to convene a meeting of holders of Shares to consider and vote upon the adoption of this Agreement, which meeting shall in any event take place within 45 days after the declaration of the effectiveness of the Form S-4 (the “Company Stockholders Meeting”).

(ii) Notwithstanding any Company Change in Recommendation, the Company shall submit this Agreement to the holders of Shares for adoption at the Company Stockholders Meeting unless this Agreement is terminated in accordance with Article VII prior to the Company Stockholders Meeting. Without the prior written consent of Parent, the adoption of this Agreement shall be the only matter (other than matters of procedure and matters required by Law to be voted on by the Company’s stockholders in connection with the adoption of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby) that the Company shall propose to be acted on by the stockholders of the Company at the Company Stockholders Meeting.

51

(b) Parent Stockholders Meeting.

(i) Parent will, in accordance with applicable Law and the Parent Charter and Parent Bylaws, establish a record date for, duly call and give notice of, and use its reasonable best efforts to convene and hold a meeting of holders of capital stock of Parent to consider and vote upon the Parent Share Issuance as promptly as practicable. Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts to hold the Parent Stockholders Meeting on the same day as the Company Stockholders Meeting and as soon as practicable after the date on which the Registration Statement becomes effective. Subject to the provisions of Section 5.3, the Parent Board shall include the Parent Board Recommendation in the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus and recommend at the Parent Stockholders Meeting that the holders of capital stock of Parent approve the Parent Share Issuance and shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain and solicit such approval. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (x) if on or before the date on which the Parent Stockholders Meeting is scheduled, Parent reasonably believes that (A) it will not receive proxies representing the Parent Stockholder Approval, whether or not a quorum is present, or (B) it will not have enough shares of Parent Common Stock represented to constitute a quorum necessary to conduct the business of the Parent Stockholders Meeting, Parent may (and, if requested by the Company, Parent shall) postpone or adjourn, or make one or more successive postponements or adjournments of, the Parent Stockholders Meeting and (y) Parent may postpone or adjourn the Parent Stockholders Meeting to allow reasonable additional time for the filing or mailing of any supplemental or amended disclosure that Parent has determined, after consultation with outside legal counsel, is reasonably likely to be required under applicable Law and for such supplemental or amended disclosure to be disseminated and reviewed by stockholders of Parent prior to the Parent Stockholders Meeting, as long as the date of the Parent Stockholders Meeting is not postponed or adjourned more than an aggregate of 15 calendar days in connection with any such postponements or adjournments pursuant to either or both of the preceding clauses (x) and (y).

(ii) Notwithstanding any Parent Change in Recommendation, Parent shall seek the Parent Stockholder Approval at the Parent Stockholders Meeting unless this Agreement is terminated in accordance with Article VII prior to the Parent Stockholders Meeting. Without the prior written consent of the Company, the Parent Share Issuance shall be the only matter (other than matters of procedure and matters required by Law to be voted on by the Company’s stockholders in connection with the approval of the Parent Share Issuance) that Parent shall propose to be acted on by the stockholders of Parent at the Parent Stockholders Meeting.

5.6 Regulatory Approvals and Related Matters.

(a) Each Party shall cooperate with each other Party and shall use reasonable best efforts to file, as soon as practicable after the date of this Agreement, all notices, reports and other documents required to be filed by such party with any Governmental Entity, with respect to the Merger and the transactions contemplated hereby, and to submit promptly any information reasonably requested by any Governmental Entity. Each of the Company and Parent shall give the other Party prompt notice of the commencement or known threat of commencement of any Legal Proceeding by or before any Governmental Entity with respect to the Merger or any of the transactions contemplated hereby, keep the other party reasonably informed as to the status of any such Legal Proceeding or threat, and in connection with any such Legal Proceeding, each of the Company or Parent will permit authorized representatives of the other party to be present at each meeting or conference relating to any such Legal Proceeding and to have access to and be consulted in connection with any document, opinion or proposal made or submitted to any Governmental Entity in connection with any such Legal Proceeding.

(e) The Company and Parent each shall promptly furnish the other with copies of notice or other communications received by the Company or Parent, as the case may be, or any of their respective Subsidiaries from any third party and/or any Governmental Entity with respect to the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, other than immaterial communications.

(a) Upon reasonable notice, and except as may otherwise be required by applicable Law, each of the Company and Parent shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, afford the other Party’s Representatives reasonable access (at the requesting Party’s cost) under the supervision of appropriate personnel of the other Party, during normal business hours during the period prior to the Effective Time, to the other Party’s, and each of its Subsidiaries’ employees, properties, assets, books, records and contracts and, during such period, each of the Company and Parent shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, furnish promptly to the other all information concerning its or any of its Subsidiaries’ capital stock, business and personnel as may reasonably be requested by the other; provided that no investigation pursuant to this Section 5.7 shall affect or be deemed to modify any representation or warranty made by the Company or Parent; and provided, further that the foregoing shall require neither the Company nor Parent to permit any invasive sampling or testing or to disclose any information pursuant to this Section 5.7 to the extent that (i) in the reasonable good faith judgment of such Party, any applicable Law requires such Party or its Subsidiaries to restrict or prohibit access to any such properties or information, (ii) in the reasonable good faith judgment of such Party, the information is subject to confidentiality obligations to a third party or (iii) disclosure of any such information or document would result in the loss of attorney-client privilege; provided, further that with respect to clauses (i) through (iii) of this Section 5.7(a), Parent or the Company, as applicable, shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to (1) obtain the required consent of any such third party to provide such inspection or disclosure, (2) develop an alternative to providing such information so as to address such matters that is reasonably acceptable to Parent and the Company and (3) in the case of clauses (i) and (iii), implement appropriate and mutually agreeable measures to permit the disclosure of such information in a manner to remove the basis for the objection, including by arrangement of appropriate clean room procedures, redaction or entry into a customary joint defense agreement with respect to any information to be so provided, if the Parties determine that doing so would reasonably permit the disclosure of such information without violating applicable Law or jeopardizing such privilege. Any investigation pursuant to this Section 5.7 shall be conducted in such a manner as not to interfere unreasonably with the conduct of the business of the other Party. All requests for information made pursuant to this Section 5.7 shall be directed in writing to an executive officer of the Company or Parent, as applicable, or such Person as may be designated by any such executive officer.

53

5.11 Indemnification; Directors’ and Officers’ Insurance.

(a) All rights to indemnification by the Company existing in favor of those Persons who are current or former directors and officers of the Company, and any person who becomes a director or officer of it prior to the Effective Time (the “Indemnified Persons”) for their acts and omissions as directors and officers of the Company occurring prior to the Effective Time, as provided in the Company Charter and Company Bylaws and as provided in any indemnification agreements between the Company and said Indemnified Persons (as in effect as of the date of this Agreement), shall survive the Merger and be observed, honored and fulfilled, in all respects, by the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law for a period of six years from the date on which the Merger becomes effective (the “Indemnification Period”). In addition, during the Indemnification Period, each of the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries will (and Parent will cause the Company and its Subsidiaries to) cause its certificate of incorporation, bylaws and other similar organizational documents to contain provisions with respect to indemnification, exculpation and the advancement of expenses that are at least as favorable as the indemnification, exculpation and advancement of expenses provisions set forth in the Company Charter and Company Bylaws, as applicable. During the Indemnification Period or such period in which an Indemnified Person is asserting a claim for indemnification pursuant to this Section 5.11, whichever is longer, such provisions may not be repealed, amended or otherwise modified in any manner adverse to any applicable Indemnified Persons except as required by applicable Law.

54

(b) Without limiting the generality of Section 5.11(a) and without expanding (1) the obligations of Parent or its Affiliates (including the Surviving Corporation), or (2) the rights of any Indemnified Person, under the Company Charter, Company Bylaws or the other similar organizational documents of the Subsidiaries of the Company or any indemnification agreement between the Company and an Indemnified Person (as in effect as of the date of this Agreement), during the Indemnification Period, the Surviving Corporation will (and Parent will cause the Surviving Corporation to) indemnify and hold harmless, in accordance with provisions set forth in the Company Charter, the Company Bylaws or the other similar organizational documents of the Subsidiaries of the Company, as applicable, as of the date of this Agreement, or pursuant to any indemnification agreements with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in effect as of the date of this Agreement, each Indemnified Person from and against any costs, fees and expenses (including the advancement of attorneys’ fees and investigation expenses), judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages, liabilities and amounts paid in settlement or compromise in connection with any Legal Proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, to the extent that such Legal Proceeding arises, directly or indirectly, out of or pertains, directly or indirectly, to (i) any action or omission, or alleged action or omission, in such Indemnified Person’s capacity as a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or other Affiliates (for their acts and omissions occurring prior to the Effective Time); and (ii) the Merger, as well as any actions taken by the Company, Parent or Merger Sub with respect to the Merger (including any disposition of assets of the Surviving Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries that is alleged to have rendered the Surviving Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries insolvent) (in each case with respect to acts and omissions occurring prior to the Effective Time). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, at any time prior to the sixth anniversary of the Effective Time, any Indemnified Person delivers to Parent a written notice asserting a claim for indemnification pursuant to this Section 5.11(b), then the claim asserted in such notice will survive the sixth anniversary of the Effective Time until such claim is fully and finally resolved.

(c) Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall purchase, at its expense (and as reflected in the Company Net Cash), a six year “tail” policy (the “Tail Policy”) for the D&O Insurance maintained by the Company as of the date of this Agreement in the form delivered or made available by the Company to Parent prior to the date of this Agreement at a premium not to exceed 300% of the annual premiums currently paid by the Company for such insurance. The Surviving Corporation will (and Parent will cause the Surviving Corporation to) maintain the Tail Policy in full force and effect and continue to honor its obligations thereunder for so long as the Tail Policy is in full force and effect.

(d) The obligations set forth in this Section 5.11 may not be terminated, amended or otherwise modified in any manner that adversely affects any Indemnified Person (or any other person (and his or her heirs and representatives) who is a beneficiary pursuant to the Tail Policy) without the prior written consent of such affected Indemnified Person or other person.
