          AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER (hereinafter called this “Agreement”), dated as of November 17, 2010 among Hypercom Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), VeriFone Systems, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), and Honey Acquisition Co., a Delaware corporation and a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”).

RECITALS

          WHEREAS, the respective Boards of Directors of each of the Company, Parent and Merger Sub have approved the merger of Merger Sub with and into the Company (the “Merger”) upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement and have approved and declared advisable this Agreement;

          WHEREAS, the Boards of Directors of each of the Company and Merger Sub have resolved to submit this Agreement to their respective stockholders for adoption;

          WHEREAS, Parent, Merger Sub and the Company intend that the Merger will qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) for U.S. federal income tax purposes and intend, by executing this Agreement, to adopt a “plan of reorganization” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Sections 1.368-2(g) and 1.368-3(a);

For purposes of this Agreement, the term “business day” shall mean any day ending at 11:59 p.m. (Pacific Time) other than a Saturday or Sunday or a day on which banks are required or authorized to close in The City of New York.

ARTICLE IV

EFFECT OF THE MERGER ON CAPITAL STOCK;
EXCHANGE OF CERTIFICATES

                    4.1 Effect on Capital Stock. 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:

                (a) Merger Consideration.

                    (i) Each share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company (each a “Company Share”, and together, the “Company Shares”) issued and outstanding at the Effective Time (other than Company Shares that are owned by Parent or by the Company or any direct or indirect wholly-owned Subsidiary of the Company and in each case not held on behalf of third parties (“Excluded Company Shares”)) shall be converted into and shall become exchangeable for 0.23 (the “Exchange Ratio”) shares (the “Merger Consideration”) of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Parent (the “Parent Common Stock”)

                    (ii) At the Effective Time, all Company Shares shall no longer be outstanding, shall be cancelled and retired and shall cease to exist, and (A) each certificate (a “Certificate”) formerly representing any of such Company Shares (other than Excluded Company Shares) and (B) each uncertificated Company Share (a “Book-Entry Company Share”) registered to a holder on the stock transfer books of the Company (other than Excluded Company Shares), shall thereafter represent only the right to the Merger Consideration and the right, if any, to receive pursuant to Section 4.2(e) cash in lieu of fractional shares into which such Company Shares have been converted pursuant to this Section 4.1(a) and any distribution or dividend pursuant to Section 4.2(c).

               (b) Cancellation of Shares. Each Excluded Company Share shall, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, no longer be outstanding, shall be cancelled and retired without payment of any consideration therefor and shall cease to exist.

               (c) Merger Sub. At the Effective Time, 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 one share of Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Surviving Corporation.

                    4.2 Exchange of Certificates for Shares.

               (a) Exchange Agent. At or prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall deposit, or shall cause to be deposited, with an exchange agent selected by Parent and reasonably satisfactory to the Company (the “Exchange Agent”), for the benefit of the holders of Company Shares (other than Excluded Company Shares), certificates representing the shares of Parent Common Stock to be exchanged for Company Shares (other than Excluded Company Shares) in respect of the Merger Consideration to be paid in the Merger, cash necessary to pay for cash in lieu of any fractional shares of Parent Common Stock issuable in connection with the Merger pursuant to Section 4.2(e), plus an amount of cash with respect to any dividends or other distributions with respect to the Parent Common Stock to be paid or to be issued pursuant to Section 4.2(c) in exchange for Company Shares (other than Excluded Company Shares) (such certificates for shares of Parent Common Stock, together with the amount of any cash payable pursuant to Section 4.2(e) in lieu of fractional shares and dividends or other distributions payable with respect thereto pursuant to Section 4.2(c), being hereinafter referred to as the “Exchange Fund”). With respect to the amount of cash to be deposited as of the Effective Time to satisfy its obligations under Section 4.2(e), Parent shall only be required to make a reasonable estimate of the amount of such cash that will be necessary. The Exchange Agent shall invest the Exchange Fund as directed by Parent. Any interest and other income resulting from such investment shall become a part of the Exchange Fund, and any amounts in excess of the amounts payable under Section 4.1(a) shall be promptly returned to Parent. If there are any losses realized as a result of such investments, Parent shall promptly deposit in the Exchange Fund the amount of such losses.

               (b) Exchange Procedures.

                    (i) Promptly after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall cause the Exchange Agent to mail to each holder of record as of the Effective Time of Company Shares (other than holders of Excluded Company Shares) (A) (x) in the case of holders of Certificates, a letter of transmittal specifying that delivery shall be effected, and that risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of the Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu thereof) to the Exchange Agent (the “Certificate Letter of Transmittal”) or (y) in the case of holders of Book-Entry Company Shares, a letter of transmittal specifying that the exchange for uncertificated shares of Parent Common Stock registered on the stock transfer books of Parent in the name of each such holder (“Book-Entry Parent Shares”) or certificates representing shares of Parent Common Stock shall occur only upon delivery of such letter of transmittal to the Exchange Agent (the “Registered Letter of Transmittal”), each such letter of transmittal to be in such form and have such other provisions as Parent and the Company may reasonably agree, and (B) instructions for exchanging Certificates or Book-Entry Company Shares for the applicable Merger Consideration and any unpaid dividends and other distributions, if applicable, and cash in lieu of fractional shares.

                    (ii) Following the Effective Time, upon (A) surrender of a Certificate for cancellation to the Exchange Agent together with a Certificate Letter of Transmittal, duly executed, the holder of such Certificate or (B) delivery of a Registered Letter of Transmittal, duly executed, the holder of such Certificate or Book-Entry Company Shares, as the case may be, shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor (x) Book-

Entry Parent Shares or, at the election of such holder, a certificate representing that number of whole shares of Parent Common Stock that such holder is entitled to receive pursuant to this Article IV, if any, and (y) a check in the amount (after giving effect to any required Tax withholdings) of (I) any cash in lieu of fractional shares determined in accordance with Section 4.2(e) hereof plus (II) any cash dividends and any other dividends or other distributions that such holder has the right to receive pursuant to the provisions of this Article IV, and any Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled.

                    (iii) No interest will be paid or accrued on any amount payable upon due surrender of any Certificate or delivery of a duly executed Registered Letter of Transmittal, as the case may be. In the event of a transfer of ownership of Company Shares that is not registered in the transfer records of the Company, Book-Entry Parent Shares or a certificate representing the proper number of shares of Parent Common Stock, as the case may be, together with a check for the cash to be paid upon due surrender of the Certificate or upon the delivery to the Exchange Agent of the duly executed Registered Letter of Transmittal and any other dividends or distributions in respect thereof, may be issued and/or paid to such a transferee if, in the case of holders of Certificates, the Certificate formerly representing such Company Shares is presented to the Exchange Agent, and, in the case of holders of Book-Entry Company Shares, if the Registered Letter of Transmittal is delivered to the Exchange Agent, in either case accompanied by all documents required to evidence and effect such transfer and to evidence that any applicable stock transfer Taxes have been paid.

                    (iv) If any Book-Entry Parent Shares or any certificate for shares of Parent Common Stock is to be issued in a name other than that in which the Certificate surrendered in exchange therefor or the Book-Entry Company Shares exchanged therefor, as the case may be, is registered, it shall be a condition of such exchange that the Person requesting such exchange shall pay any transfer or other Taxes required by reason of the issuance of Book-Entry Parent Shares or a certificate for shares of Parent Common Stock in a name other than that of the registered holder of the Certificate surrendered or the Book-Entry Company Shares exchanged, as the case may be, or shall establish to the satisfaction of Parent or the Exchange Agent that such Tax has been paid or is not applicable.

                    For the purposes of this Agreement, the term “Person” or “person” shall mean any individual, corporation (including not-for-profit), general or limited partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, estate, trust, association, organization, Governmental Entity or other entity of any kind or nature.

               (c) Distributions with Respect to Unexchanged Shares; Voting. 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 at or after the Effective Time, that declaration shall include dividends or other distributions in respect of all shares of Parent Common Stock issuable pursuant to this Agreement. No dividends or other distributions in respect of such Parent Common Stock shall be paid to any holder of any

unsurrendered Certificate or Book-Entry Company Shares for which a Registered Letter of Transmittal shall not have been delivered, until such Certificate (or affidavits of loss in lieu thereof) is surrendered for exchange or such Registered Letter of Transmittal is delivered, as the case may be, in accordance with this Article IV. Subject to the effect of applicable Laws, following surrender of any such Certificate (or affidavits of loss in lieu thereof) or delivery of any such Registered Letter of Transmittal, as the case may be, there shall be issued and/or paid to the holder of the Book-Entry Parent Shares or the certificates representing whole shares of Parent Common Stock, as the case may be, issued in exchange therefor, without interest, (A) at the time of such surrender or delivery, as the case may be, the dividends or other distributions with a record date at or after the Effective Time and a payment date on or prior to the date of issuance of such whole shares of Parent Common Stock and not previously 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 at or after the Effective Time but with a payment date subsequent to surrender or delivery, as the case may be. Holders of unsurrendered Certificates or Book-Entry Company Shares shall be entitled to vote after the Effective Time at any meeting of Parent stockholders the number of whole shares of Parent Common Stock represented by such Certificates or Book-Entry Company Shares, regardless of whether such holders have exchanged their certificates.

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

                    (e) Fractional Shares. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no fractional shares of Parent Common Stock will be issued and any holder of Company Shares entitled to receive a fractional share of Parent Common Stock but for this Section 4.2(e) shall be entitled to receive an amount in cash (without interest) determined by multiplying such fraction (rounded to the nearest one-hundredth of a share) by the Average Closing Price. “Average Closing Price” means the per share closing price of Parent Common Stock as reported on the NYSE composite transactions reporting system (as reported in the Eastern Edition of The Wall Street Journal or, if not reported thereby, another authoritative source) on the last trading day prior to the Closing Date.

                    (f) Termination of Exchange Period; Unclaimed Stock. Any portion of the Exchange Fund (including the proceeds of any investments thereof and any shares of Parent Common Stock) that remains unclaimed by the stockholders of the Company one year after the Effective Time shall be delivered at Parent’s option, to Parent. Any stockholders of the Company who have not theretofore complied with this Article IV shall thereafter look only to Parent for delivery of any Merger Consideration and any cash, dividends and other distributions in respect thereof payable or deliverable pursuant to Section 4.2(c) and Section 4.2(e) upon due (i) surrender of their Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu thereof) or (ii) delivery of duly executed Registered Letters of Transmittal, as the case may be, in each case with respect to both clauses (i) and (ii), without any interest thereon. Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of Parent, the Surviving Corporation, the Exchange Agent or any other Person shall be liable to any former holder of Company Shares for any amount properly delivered to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Laws.

               (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 reasonably required by Parent, the posting by such Person of a bond in customary amount and upon such terms as may be required by Parent 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 applicable Merger Consideration and any cash, unpaid dividends or other distributions that would be payable or deliverable in respect thereof pursuant to this Agreement had such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate been surrendered.

               (h) Withholding Rights. Parent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder of Company Shares such amounts as Parent is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of any payment pursuant to this Agreement under the Code and by rules and regulations promulgated thereunder or any other applicable state, local, or foreign Tax Law; it being understood that Parent shall be entitled but not obligated to deduct and withhold from any Merger Consideration payable or otherwise deliverable by withholding a portion or all of the Merger Consideration otherwise deliverable and selling such Merger Consideration to cover its withholding obligations. To the extent that amounts are so withheld by Parent, as the case may be, such withheld amounts (i) shall be remitted by Parent or the Surviving Corporation, as applicable, to the applicable Governmental Entity, and (ii) shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of Company Shares in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made by Parent or the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be.

                    4.3 Adjustments to Prevent Dilution. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if, between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time, the issued and outstanding Company Shares or securities convertible or exchangeable into or exercisable for Company Shares, or the issued and outstanding shares of Parent Common Stock or securities convertible or exchangeable into or exercisable for shares of Parent Common Stock, shall have been changed into a different number of shares or a different class by reason of any reclassification, stock split (including a reverse stock split), stock dividend or distribution, recapitalization or other similar transaction, then the Merger Consideration, the Exchange Ratio and any other dependent items shall be equitably adjusted and as so adjusted shall, from and after the date of such event, be the Merger Consideration, the Exchange Ratio or other dependent item.

                    4.4 Company Stock Based Plans.

               (a) At the Effective Time, each outstanding option to purchase Company Shares (a “Company Option”), whether vested or unvested, shall be converted into an option to acquire a number of shares of Parent Common Stock equal to the product (rounded down to the nearest whole number) of (x) the number of Company Shares subject to the Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time and (y) the Exchange Ratio at an exercise price per share (rounded up to the nearest whole cent) equal to (A) the exercise price per Company Share of such Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time divided by (B) the Exchange Ratio; provided, however, the exercise price and the number of shares of Parent Common Stock

purchasable pursuant to Company Options shall be determined in a manner consistent with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code; provided, further, that in the case of any Company Option to which Section 422 of the Code applies, the exercise price, the number of shares of Parent Common Stock purchasable pursuant to such option and the terms and conditions of exercise of such option shall be determined in accordance with the foregoing, subject to such adjustments as are necessary in order to satisfy the requirements of Section 424(a) of the Code. Except as specifically provided above, following the Effective Time, each Company Option shall continue to be governed by the same terms and conditions as were applicable under such Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time.

               (b) At the Effective Time, each right of any kind (other than Company Warrants, which are the subject of Section 4.5), contingent or accrued, to acquire or receive Company Shares or benefits measured by the value of Company Shares, and each award of any kind consisting of Company Shares that may be held, awarded, outstanding, payable or reserved for issuance under the Company Stock Plans and any other Company Compensation and Benefits Plans, other than Company Options (the “Company Awards”), shall be deemed to be converted into the right to acquire or receive, or receive benefits measured by the value of, as the case may be, the number of shares of Parent Common Stock equal to the product (rounded down to the nearest whole number) of (x) the number of Company Shares subject to such Company Award immediately prior to the Effective Time and (y) the Exchange Ratio. Except as specifically provided above, following the Effective Time, each such right shall be subject to the same terms and conditions as were applicable to the rights under the relevant Company Stock Plan or other Company Compensation and Benefit Plan immediately prior to the Effective Time. At or prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall cause to be effectuated the provisions of this Section 4.4(b).

               (c) As soon as reasonably practicable (but not more than five (5) days) after the Effective Time, Parent shall, if registration of any interests in the Company Stock Plans or other Company Compensation and Benefit Plans or the shares of Parent Common Stock issuable thereunder is required under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) a registration statement on Form S-8 (or any successor form), or another appropriate form with respect to such interests and Parent Common Stock and shall use its reasonable best efforts to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement for so long as the relevant Company Stock Plans or other Company Compensation and Benefit Plans, as applicable, remain in effect and such registration of interests therein or the shares of Parent Common Stock issuable thereunder continues to be required. As soon as practicable after the registration of such interests or shares, as applicable, Parent shall deliver to the holders of Company Options and Company Awards appropriate notices setting forth such holders’ rights pursuant to the respective Company Stock Plans and agreements evidencing the grants of such Company Options and Company Awards, and stating that such Company Options and Company Awards and agreements have been assumed by Parent and shall continue in effect on the same terms and conditions (subject to the adjustments required by this Section 4.4 after giving effect to the Merger and the terms of the Company Stock Plans).

               (d) At or prior to the Effective Time, the Company, the Board of Directors of the Company and the compensation committee of the Board of Directors of the Company, as

applicable, shall adopt any resolutions and take any actions which are necessary to effectuate the provisions of Sections 4.4(a) and 4.4(b). Parent shall take all actions which are necessary for the assumption of the Company Options and Company Awards pursuant to Sections 4.4(a) and 4.4(b) including the reservation, issuance (subject to Section 4.4(c)) and listing of Parent Common Stock as necessary to effect the transactions contemplated by this Section 4.4. The Company shall take all necessary action to ensure that from and after the Effective Time neither Parent nor the Surviving Corporation will be required to deliver Company Shares or other capital stock of the Company to any Person pursuant to or in settlement of Company Options or Company Awards, and all Company Stock Plans or other Company Compensation and Benefits Plans conferring any rights to Company Shares or other capital stock of the Company shall be deemed to be amended to be in conformity with this Section 4.4(d).

               (e) The Company shall take all actions necessary to cause the Company’s Employee Stock Purchase Plan to terminate at or prior to the Effective Time in accordance with the terms of the plan and to cause each Company employee’s then current plan account balance to be distributed in cash to such employee at the time of plan termination.

               (f) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, Parent acknowledges and agrees that the Board of Directors of the Company has taken or may take prior to Closing such action as may be required (i) to fully vest as of or prior to the Closing all Company Options and Company Awards outstanding as of the date hereof, and (ii) to provide for net or cashless exercise of Company Options and Company Awards, such that any Tax withholding is satisfied from Company Shares underlying such Company Options and Company Awards. Company Shares purchased upon exercise of Company Options and Company Shares delivered upon vesting of Company Awards shall be outstanding as of the Effective Time and entitled to receive the Merger Consideration as provided in Sections 4.1 and 4.2, and Company Options not exercised will be assumed as provided in Section 4.4(a).

                    4.5 Warrants. At the Effective Time, each outstanding warrant to purchase Company Shares (a “Company Warrant”) shall be converted into a warrant to acquire a number of shares of Parent Common Stock (rounded down to the nearest whole number) equal to the product of (a) the number of Company Shares subject to such Company Warrant immediately prior to the Effective Time, multiplied by (b) the Exchange Ratio, at an exercise price per share (rounded up to the nearest whole cent) equal to (x) the exercise price per Company Share of such Company Warrant immediately prior to the Effective Time divided by (b) the Exchange Ratio. Except as specifically provided above, following the Effective Time, each Company Warrant shall continue to be governed by the same terms and conditions as were applicable under such Company Warrant immediately prior to the Effective Time.

                    4.6 Tax Consequences. For U.S. federal income tax purposes, the Merger is intended to constitute a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code. The parties to this Agreement hereby adopt this Agreement as a “plan of reorganization” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Sections 1.368-2(g) and 1.368-3(a).

                    5.1 Representations and Warranties of the Company. The Company hereby represents and warrants to Parent and Merger Sub, as of the date of this Agreement and as of the Closing Date (it being understood that to the extent any such representation and warranty speaks as of a particular date, the Company makes such representation and warranty with respect to such particular date) , that, except as otherwise permitted in this Agreement or as set forth (i) in the Company Reports filed with the SEC since January 1, 2010 and prior to the date hereof (excluding, in each case, any disclosures set forth in any “risk factor” section or in any other section to the extent such statements are cautionary, predictive or forward-looking in nature), (ii) in the corresponding sections or subsections of the disclosure letter delivered to Parent by the Company at the time of entering into this Agreement (the “Company Disclosure Letter”) or (iii) to the extent that the qualifying nature of a disclosure in the Company Disclosure Letter with respect to another section or subsection is reasonably apparent on its face, in such other disclosure:

               (a) Organization, Good Standing and Qualification. Other than as set forth in Section 5.1(a) of the Company Disclosure Letter, each of the Company and its Subsidiaries is a legal entity duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the Laws of its respective jurisdiction of organization and has all requisite corporate or similar power and authority to own, lease and operate its properties and assets and to carry on its business as presently conducted and is qualified to do business and is in good standing as a foreign corporation or other legal entity in each jurisdiction where the ownership, leasing or operation of its assets or properties or conduct of its business requires such qualification, except where the failure to be so organized, qualified or in good standing, or to have such power or authority, individually or in the aggregate, has not had or would not reasonably be likely to have a Company Material Adverse Effect. Prior to the date of this Agreement, the Company has made available to Parent a complete and correct copy of the Company’s and its Subsidiaries certificates of incorporation and by-laws or comparable governing documents, each as amended through the date of this Agreement, and each as so delivered is in full force and effect. Section 5.1(a) of the Company Disclosure Letter contains a correct and complete list of each jurisdiction where the Company and its Subsidiaries are organized and qualified to do business.

               As used in this Agreement, (i) the term “Subsidiary” means, with respect to any Person, any other Person of which at least a majority of the securities or ownership interests having by their terms ordinary voting power to elect a majority of the Board of Directors or other persons performing similar functions is directly or indirectly owned or controlled by such Person and/or one or more of its Subsidiaries; and (ii) the term “Company Material Adverse Effect” means a material adverse effect on (x) the financial condition, assets, liabilities, business, or results of operations of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or (y) the ability of the Company to perform its obligations under this Agreement or consummate the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby; provided, however, that Company Material Adverse Effect shall not include any event, condition, change, occurrence or development of a state of circumstances resulting from, primarily attributable to, or arising in connection with (A) general

political, economic or market (including currency) conditions or general changes or developments in the industry in which the Company and its Subsidiaries operate, (B) acts of terrorism or war (whether or not declared) or natural disasters occurring after the date hereof, (C) this Agreement, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby, or the announcement or performance thereof, including any negative impact on or disruption in relationships with customers, suppliers, distributors, employees or similar relationships, (D) changes in Law or any applicable accounting regulations or principles or the interpretations thereof, (E) changes in the price or trading volume of the Company’s stock (provided that any event, condition, change, occurrence or development of a state of circumstances that may have caused or contributed to such change in market price or trading volume shall not be excluded under this proviso), (F) any failure by the Company to meet public or internal revenue, earnings or other projections, in and of itself (provided that any event, condition, change, occurrence or development of a state of circumstances that may have caused or contributed to such failure to meet published revenue, earnings or other projections shall not be excluded under this proviso), (G) the taking of any action required by this Agreement or expressly approved or permitted in writing by Parent, or reasonably required to obtain the approval of any Governmental Entity or the failure to take any action prohibited by this Agreement or (H) any legal proceedings commenced or threatened by any of the current or former stockholders of the Company (on their own behalf or on behalf of the Company) against the Company that assert allegations of a breach of fiduciary duty or violations of securities laws relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except in the case of clause (A) or (B), to the extent such changes or conditions disproportionately affect in any material respect the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, as compared to other Persons engaged in similar businesses.

               (b) Capital Structure. (i) The authorized capital stock of the Company consists of 100,000,000 Company Shares, of which 55,515,330 Company Shares were issued and outstanding as of the close of business on November 16, 2010, and 10,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Company Preferred Shares”) (including a series of Preferred Stock constituting 100,000 Company Preferred Shares designated as “Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock”), none of which were outstanding as of the date of this Agreement. Other than as set forth in Section 5.1(b)(i) of the Company Disclosure Letter, no Company Shares are held in treasury by the Company or its Subsidiaries. All of the outstanding Company Shares have been duly authorized and validly issued and are fully paid and nonassessable. All of the outstanding Company Shares have been issued in material compliance with applicable securities Laws. The Company has no Company Shares or Company Preferred Shares reserved for issuance, except that as of November 16, 2010, there were an aggregate of 5,986,416 Company Shares reserved for issuance pursuant to the Company Compensation and Benefit Plans identified in Section 5.1(h)(i) of the Company Disclosure Letter as being the only Company Compensation and Benefit Plans pursuant to which Company Shares may be issued (the “Company Stock Plans”), 10,544,000 Company Shares issuable upon exercise of the Company Warrants and 100,000 Company Preferred Shares reserved for issuance pursuant to the Rights Agreement (the “Rights Agreement”), dated September 29, 2010, between the Company and Computershare Trust Company, N.A., as Rights Agent. Section 5.1(b)(i) of the Company Disclosure Letter contains a correct and complete list as of October 30, 2010 of (x) each outstanding Company Option and Company Award, (y) each other outstanding right, including those issued under the Company Stock Plans or Company Compensation and Benefits Plans, to

receive, the value of which is determined by reference to, Company Shares (including restricted stock and restricted stock units) (each a “Common Stock Unit”), and (z) each Company Warrant, including, in each case, the holder, date of grant, term, number of Company Shares subject thereto and, where applicable, exercise price and vesting schedule, including whether the vesting will be accelerated by the execution of this Agreement or consummation of the Merger or by termination of employment or change of position following consummation of the Merger. Since October 30, 2010, the Company has not issued any Company Options, Company Awards or Common Stock Units. All outstanding grants of Company Shares, Company Awards and Common Stock Units were made under the Company Stock Plans or Company Compensation and Benefits Plans. Upon any issuance of Company Shares pursuant to any Company Options, Company Awards or Common Stock Units, such Company Shares will be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free and clear of any lien, charge, pledge, security interest, claim or other encumbrance (each, a “Lien”). Except as set forth in this Section 5.1(b)(i) and pursuant to the Rights Agreement, there are no preemptive or other outstanding rights, options, warrants, conversion rights, stock appreciation rights, redemption rights, repurchase rights, agreements, arrangements, calls, commitments or rights of any kind that obligate the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to issue or sell any shares of capital stock or other securities of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any securities or obligations convertible or exchangeable into or exercisable for, or giving any Person a right to subscribe for or acquire, any securities of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, and no securities or obligations evidencing such rights are authorized, issued or outstanding. The Company does not have outstanding any bonds, debentures, notes or other obligations the holders of which have the right to vote (or which are convertible into or exercisable for securities having the right to vote) with the stockholders of the Company on any matter.

                    (ii) Each of the outstanding shares of capital stock or other securities of each of the Company’s Subsidiaries has been duly authorized and validly issued and is fully paid and nonassessable and owned by the Company or by a direct or indirect wholly-owned Subsidiary of the Company, free and clear of any Liens. Section 5.1(b)(ii) of the Company Disclosure Letter sets forth (x) each of the Company’s Subsidiaries and the ownership interest of the Company in each such Subsidiary, as well as the ownership interest of any other Person or Persons in each such Subsidiary and (y) the Company’s or its Subsidiaries’ capital stock, equity interest or other direct or indirect ownership interest in any other Person. The Company does not own, directly or indirectly, any voting interest in any Person the acquisition of which requires a separate filing by the ultimate parent entity of Parent under the ▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇▇ Antitrust Improvement Act of 1976, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder (the “HSR Act”) or any other antitrust or other Laws.

                    (iii) Each Company Option (A) was granted in material compliance with all applicable Laws and all of the terms and conditions of the Company Stock Plan pursuant to which it was issued, (B) has an exercise price per Company Share equal to or greater than the fair market value of a Company Share on the date of such grant, (C) has a grant date identical to (or later than, as specified by the granting body) the date on which the Company’s Board of Directors or compensation committee actually awarded such

Company Option, and (D) qualifies for the Tax and accounting treatment afforded to such Company Option in the Company’s Tax returns and the Company Reports, respectively.

                    (iv) Other than as set forth in Section 5.1(b)(iv) of the Company Disclosure Letter, to the knowledge of the Company, as of the date of this Agreement, no Person or group beneficially owns 5% or more of the Company’s voting securities, with the terms “group” and “beneficially owns” having the meanings ascribed to them under Rule 13d-3 and Rule 13d-5 under the Exchange Act. As used in this Agreement, “knowledge” of (i) the Company means the actual knowledge of the Company’s executive officers after reasonable inquiry of their direct reports and (ii) Parent or Merger Sub means the actual knowledge of such party’s executive officers after reasonable inquiry of their direct reports.

               (c) Corporate Authority; Approval and Fairness.

                    (i) Assuming the accuracy of the representation set forth in Section 5.2(k) of this Agreement, the Company has all requisite corporate power and authority and has taken all corporate action necessary in order to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this Agreement to consummate the Merger, subject only to adoption of this Agreement by the holders of a majority of the outstanding Company Shares entitled to vote on such matter at a stockholders’ meeting duly called and held for such purpose (the “Company Requisite Vote”). The holders of the Company Warrants have consented to the treatment of the Company Warrants contemplated by this Agreement. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Company and constitutes a valid and binding agreement of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and similar Laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors’ rights and to general equity principles (the “Bankruptcy and Equity Exception”).

                    (ii) The Board of Directors of the Company (A) has unanimously determined that the Merger is fair to, and in the best interests of, the Company and its stockholders, approved and declared advisable this Agreement and the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and resolved to recommend adoption of this Agreement to the holders of the Company Shares (the “Company Recommendation”), (B) received the opinion of its financial advisor, UBS Securities LLC, dated as of the date of this Agreement, to the effect that the Merger Consideration to be received by the holders of Company Shares in the Merger is fair to such holders from a financial point of view; it being understood that such opinion is for the benefit of the Company’s Board of Directors and may not be relied upon by Parent or Merger Sub, and (C) directed that this Agreement be submitted to the holders of Company Shares for their approval. Assuming the accuracy of the representation set forth in Section 5.2(k) of this Agreement, the Board of Directors of the Company has taken all action so that Parent will not be an “interested stockholder” or prohibited from entering into or consummating a “business combination” with the Company (in each case as such term is used in Section 203 of the DGCL) as a result of the execution of this Agreement or the Support Agreement or the consummation of the transactions in the manner contemplated hereby or thereby.

               (d) Governmental Filings; No Violations. (i) Other than the necessary notices, reports, filings, consents, registrations, approvals, permits, authorizations, actions or non-actions (A) pursuant to Section 1.3, (B) required under the HSR Act, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and the Securities Act, (C) to comply with state securities or “blue-sky” laws, (D) to be made with the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) and (E) other filings and recordations as required by Governmental Entities other than those in the United States as set forth on Section 5.1(d) of the Company Disclosure Letter, no filings, notices and/or reports are required to be made by the Company with, nor are any consents, registrations, approvals, permits or authorizations required to be obtained by the Company from, any domestic or foreign governmental or regulatory authority, court, agency, commission, body or other legislative, executive or judicial governmental entity (each, a “Governmental Entity”), in connection with the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by the Company and the consummation of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby, or in connection with the continuing operation of the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries following the Effective Time, except those that the failure to make or obtain are not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably likely to have a Company Material Adverse Effect.

               (ii) The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by the Company does not, and the consummation of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby will not, constitute or result in (A) a breach or violation of, or a default under, the certificate of incorporation or by-laws of the Company or the comparable governing documents of any of its Subsidiaries, (B) with or without notice, lapse of time or both, a breach or violation of, a default or termination (or right of termination) under, the creation or acceleration of any obligations under, or the creation of a Lien or pledge, security interest or other encumbrance on its assets or the assets of any of its Subsidiaries pursuant to, any agreement, lease, license, contract, note, mortgage, indenture, arrangement or other obligation (each, a “Contract”) binding upon the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or, assuming the filings, notices and/or approvals referred to in Section 5.1(d)(i) are made or obtained, any Law to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is subject or (C) any change in the rights or obligations of any party under any Contract binding upon the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, except, in the case of clause (B) or (C) above, for any such breach, violation, termination, default, acceleration, creation or change that is not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably likely to have a Company Material Adverse Effect. Section 5.1(d)(ii) of the Company Disclosure Letter sets forth a correct and complete list of material Contracts of the Company and its Subsidiaries pursuant to which consents or waivers are or may be required prior to consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (whether or not subject to the exception set forth with respect to clauses (B) and (C) above).

               (iii) Other than as described in Section 5.1(d)(iii) of the Company Disclosure Letter, except for (A) relationships with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries as an officer, director, or employee thereof (and compensation by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in consideration of such services) in accordance with the terms of their employment and (B) relationships with the Company as stockholders or

option holders therein, to the knowledge of the Company, none of the directors or officers of the Company or Persons holding more than five percent (5%) of the Company Shares (“5% Holders”), or any known member of any of their families or affiliates, is presently a party to, or was a party to, during the year preceding the date of this Agreement, any material transaction, agreement or arrangement with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. To the knowledge of the Company, none of the officers or directors of the Company or 5% Holders has any interest in any material property, real or personal, tangible or intangible, including inventions, copyrights, trademarks, or trade names, used in or pertaining to the business, or any supplier, distributor, or customer of the Company, except for the normal rights of a stockholder, and except for rights under the Company Stock Plans and the Company Warrants.

               (iv) Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is a party to or bound by any non-competition Contracts or other Contract that purports to limit in any material respect either the type of business in which the Company or its Subsidiaries (or, after giving effect to the Merger, Parent or its Subsidiaries) may engage or the manner or locations in which any of them may so engage in any business.

               (v) The Company and its Subsidiaries are not creditors or claimants with respect to any debtor or debtor-in-possession subject to proceedings under chapter 11 of title 11 of the United States Code with respect to claims that, in the aggregate, constitute more than 25% of the gross assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries (excluding cash and cash equivalents).

The authorized capital stock of Merger Sub consists of 1,000 shares of Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share, all of which are validly issued and outstanding.

                    6.2 Acquisition Proposals.

               (a) No Solicitation or Negotiation. The Company agrees that neither it nor any of its Subsidiaries nor any of its or its Subsidiaries’ officers and directors shall, and that it shall instruct and cause its and its Subsidiaries’ directors, officers, employees, investment bankers, attorneys, accountants and other advisors or representatives (such directors, officers, employees, investment bankers, attorneys, accountants and other advisors or representatives, collectively, “Representatives”) not to, directly or indirectly:

                    (i) initiate, solicit, or knowingly facilitate or encourage any inquiries or the making of any proposal or offer that constitutes, or would reasonably be expected to lead to, an Acquisition Proposal (as defined below) (including by amending, or granting any waiver under, the Rights Agreement not contemplated by Section 6.14);

                    (ii) engage in, continue or otherwise participate in any discussions or negotiations regarding, or provide any non-public information or data to any Person relating to, any Acquisition Proposal; or

                    (iii) otherwise knowingly facilitate any effort or attempt to make an Acquisition Proposal.

               Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, prior to, but not after, the receipt of the Company Requisite Vote, the Company may (A) provide information in response to a request therefor by a Person who has made an unsolicited bona fide written Acquisition Proposal if the board of directors of the Company receives from the Person so requesting such information an executed confidentiality agreement on terms not less restrictive to such Person than those contained in the Confidentiality Agreement, dated June 25, 2009, between the Company and Parent (the “Confidentiality Agreement”); provided that such agreement need not contain a “standstill” provision; (B) engage or participate in any discussions or negotiations with any Person who has made such an unsolicited bona fide written Acquisition Proposal; and (C) after having complied with the terms of this Section 6.2, approve, recommend, or otherwise declare advisable or propose to approve, recommend or declare advisable (publicly or otherwise) such an Acquisition Proposal, if and only to the extent that (x) prior to taking any action referred to in clause (A), (B) or (C) above, the Board of Directors of the Company determines in good faith after consultation with its outside legal counsel and financial advisor that failure to take such action would be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law, (y) in each case referred to in clause (A) or (B) above, the Board of Directors of the Company has determined in good faith based on the information then available and after consultation with its financial advisor and outside legal counsel that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes, or is reasonably likely to result in, a Superior Proposal, and (z) in the case referred to in clause (C) above, the Board of Directors of the Company has determined in good faith based on the information then available and after consultation with its outside legal counsel and financial advisor that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal. The Company shall promptly disclose (and, if applicable, provide copies of) to Parent (to the extent not previously provided) any non-public information provided to any third party pursuant to clause (A) above to the fullest extent permitted by Law.

               (b) Definitions. For purposes of this Agreement:

               “Acquisition Proposal” means (i) any proposal or offer with respect to a merger, joint venture, consolidation, dissolution, liquidation, tender offer, recapitalization, reorganization, share exchange, business combination or similar transaction involving the Company or (ii) any acquisition by any person resulting in (or any proposal or offer to acquire in any manner which if consummated would result in) any person becoming the beneficial owner of, directly or indirectly, in one or a series of related transactions 15% or more of the total voting power or of any class of equity securities of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or 15% or more of the consolidated total assets (including equity securities of its Subsidiaries) of the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole, in each case other than the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

               “Superior Proposal” means a bona fide written Acquisition Proposal not solicited in violation of this Section 6.2, executed by the Person making the proposal involving 80% or more of the assets (on a consolidated basis) or total voting power of the equity securities of the Company that the Company’s Board of Directors has determined in its good faith judgment is reasonably capable of being consummated in accordance with its terms, and that, taking into account all legal, financial and regulatory aspects of the proposal and the Person making the proposal, if consummated, would result in a transaction more favorable to the Company’s stockholders than the transaction contemplated by this Agreement (after taking into account any revisions to the terms of the transaction contemplated by Section 6.2(c) of this Agreement).

               (c) No Change in Recommendation Agreement.

                    (i) The Board of Directors of the Company, and each committee thereof shall not:

                    (1) except as expressly permitted by this Section 6.2, withhold, withdraw, qualify or modify (or publicly propose or resolve to withhold, withdraw, qualify or modify), in a manner adverse to Parent, the Company Recommendation (it being understood that publicly taking a neutral position or no position with respect to an Acquisition Proposal at any time beyond ten (10) business days after the first public announcement of such Acquisition Proposal shall be deemed to be an adverse modification); or

                    (2) cause or permit the Company to enter into any letter of intent, term sheet, memorandum of understanding, agreement in principle, acquisition agreement, merger agreement or other agreement (other than a confidentiality agreement referred to in Section 6.2(a) entered into in the circumstances referred to in Section 6.2(a)) (an “Alternative Acquisition Agreement”) relating to any Acquisition Proposal.

                    (ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, prior to, but not after, the receipt of the Company Requisite Vote, the Company’s Board of Directors may withhold, withdraw or modify the Company Recommendation in a manner adverse to Parent, or approve, recommend or otherwise

declare advisable any Superior Proposal made after the date hereof and not solicited, initiated or encouraged in breach of this Agreement, if, but only if, subject to compliance with this Section 6.2, the Company’s Board of Directors determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside counsel and financial advisors, that failure to take such action would be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary obligations under applicable Law (A) in connection with a Superior Proposal or (B) as a result of a fact, event, circumstance, development or a change in circumstances or facts that was not known (or, if known, the magnitude and material consequences of which were not known) by the Company’s Board of Directors as of the date of this Agreement, (a “Company Change of Recommendation”); provided, however, that no Company Change of Recommendation may be made until after at least two (2) business days following Parent’s receipt of written notice from the Company advising that the Company’s Board of Directors currently intends to take such action and the basis therefor. If such Company Change of Recommendation is made in connection with a Superior Proposal, the notice described in the preceding sentence must attach the most current version of the proposed agreement under which a Superior Proposal is proposed to be consummated and disclose the identity of the third party making the Superior Proposal. The Company agrees that (i) during the two (2) business day period prior to its taking any action referred to in either clause (C) in Section 6.2(a) with respect to an Acquisition Proposal or in this Section 6.2(c)(ii), the Company and its Representatives shall, if requested by Parent, negotiate in good faith with Parent and its Representatives regarding any revisions to the terms of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement proposed by Parent and (ii) the Company may take any such action with respect to an Acquisition Proposal that was a Superior Proposal only if such Acquisition Proposal continues to be a Superior Proposal in light of any revisions to the terms of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement proposed by Parent and any other information provided by Parent in response to such notice. Any material or substantive amendment to any Acquisition Proposal shall be deemed to be a new Acquisition Proposal for purposes of this Section 6.2, including with respect to the notice periods referred to herein.

               (d) Certain Permitted Disclosure. Nothing contained in this Section 6.2 or otherwise contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to prohibit the Company from complying with its disclosure requirements under Rule 14d-9 or Rule 14e-2(a) promulgated under the Exchange Act or other provisions of U.S. federal or state law with regard to an Acquisition Proposal; provided, however, that if such disclosure has the substantive effect of withholding, withdrawing or modifying adversely to Parent the Company Recommendation, Parent shall have the right to terminate this Agreement as set forth in Section 8.4(a).

               (e) Existing Discussions. The Company agrees that it will immediately cease and cause to be terminated any existing activities, discussions or negotiations with any Persons conducted heretofore with respect to any Acquisition Proposal. The Company also agrees that it will promptly request each Person that is a party to a confidentiality agreement in connection with any consideration of acquiring the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or business operations to return or destroy all confidential information heretofore furnished to such Person by or on behalf of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

               (f) Notice. The Company agrees that it will promptly (and, in any event, within 24 hours) notify Parent if any Acquisition Proposal or any inquiry with respect to, or that would reasonably be expected to lead to, an Acquisition Proposal is received by the Company or its Representatives, any information is requested from the Company in connection with an Acquisition Proposal or an inquiry related thereto, or any discussions or negotiations are sought to be initiated or continued with the Company or its Representatives with respect to an Acquisition Proposal or an inquiry related thereto, indicating, in connection with such notice, the name of the Person making such Acquisition Proposal, inquiry or request and the material terms and conditions of any such Acquisition Proposal or inquiry (including, if applicable, copies of any written requests, proposals or offers, including proposed agreements) and thereafter shall keep Parent reasonably informed, on a reasonably current daily basis of the status of and any material changes to the terms of any such Acquisition Proposal or inquiry (including any amendments thereto). Contemporaneously with providing any non-public information concerning the Company to a third party in connection with any such Acquisition Proposal, the Company will provide a copy of such information to Parent, to the extent not previously provided.

                    6.3 Information Supplied. (a) Parent and the Company shall promptly prepare and Parent shall file with the SEC as promptly as practicable the Registration Statement on Form S-4 to be filed with the SEC by Parent in connection with the issuance of shares of Parent Common Stock in the Merger (including the proxy statement and prospectus (the “Prospectus/Proxy Statement”) constituting a part thereof) (the “S-4 Registration Statement”). Parent and the Company each shall use its reasonable best efforts to have the S-4 Registration Statement declared effective under the Securities Act as promptly as practicable after such filing, and promptly thereafter mail the Prospectus/Proxy Statement to the stockholders of the Company. The Company and Parent shall also use their respective best efforts to satisfy prior to the effective date of the S-4 Registration Statement all necessary state securities law or “blue sky” notice requirements in connection with the Merger and to consummate the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement and will pay all expenses incident thereto.

               (b) The Company and Parent each agrees, as to itself and its Subsidiaries, that none of the information supplied or to be supplied by it or its Subsidiaries for inclusion or incorporation by reference in (i) the S-4 Registration Statement will, at the time the S-4 Registration Statement becomes effective under the Securities Act, contain any untrue statement 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, and (ii) the Prospectus/Proxy Statement and any amendment or supplement thereto will, at the date of mailing to stockholders and at the time of the Company Stockholders Meeting, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The Company and Parent will cause the Form S-4 to comply as to form in all material respects with the applicable provisions of (A) the Securities Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, (B) the Exchange Act and (C) the rules and regulations of the NYSE.

               (c) No filing of, or amendment or supplement to, the S-4 Registration Statement will be made by Parent, and no filing of, or amendment or supplement to the Prospectus/Proxy Statement will made by the Company or Parent, in each case without providing the other party a reasonable opportunity to review and comment thereon. If at any time prior to the date of the Company Stockholders Meeting 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 should be set forth in an amendment or supplement to either the S-4 Registration Statement or the Prospectus/Proxy Statement, so that either such document would not include any misstatement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact 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 parties hereto and an appropriate amendment or supplement describing such information shall be promptly filed with the SEC and, to the extent required by Law, disseminated to the stockholders of the Company. 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 Prospectus/Proxy Statement or the S-4 Registration Statement 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 SEC, on the other hand, with respect to the Prospectus/Proxy Statement, the S-4 Registration Statement or the Merger and (ii) all orders of the SEC relating to the S-4 Registration Statement.

                    6.4 Stockholders Meeting. (a) The Company will take, in accordance with applicable Law and its certificate of incorporation and by-laws, all action necessary to convene a meeting of holders of Company Shares (the “Company Stockholders Meeting”) as promptly as practicable after the S-4 Registration Statement is declared effective to consider and vote upon the adoption of this Agreement and approval of the Merger and to cause such vote to be taken. Subject to the provisions of Section 6.2 hereof, the Company’s Board of Directors shall recommend in the Prospectus/Proxy Statement and at the Company Stockholders Meeting that the holders of Company Shares adopt this Agreement and shall take all lawful action to solicit such adoption. The Company may adjourn or postpone the Company Stockholders Meeting if, as of the time for which the Company Stockholders Meeting is originally scheduled (as set forth in the Prospectus/Proxy Statement), (i) there are insufficient Company Shares represented (either in person or by proxy) to constitute a quorum necessary to conduct the business of the Company Stockholders Meeting, or to provide the Company Requisite Vote, or (ii) such adjournment or postponement would be required by Law. The Company’s obligation to call, give notice of, convene and hold the Company Stockholders Meeting in accordance with this Section 6.4 shall not be limited to or otherwise affected by the commencement, disclosure, announcement or submission to the Company of any Acquisition Proposal.

               (b) Notwithstanding any Company Change in Recommendation or otherwise (unless this Agreement has been terminated in accordance with Article VIII), the Company shall nonetheless submit this Agreement and the Merger to the holders of Company Shares for adoption and approval at the Company Stockholders Meeting.

                    6.5 Filings; Other Actions; Notification. (a) Parent and the Company shall each use reasonable best efforts to cause to be delivered to each party and the directors of each

party a letter from its independent auditors, dated (i) the date on which the S-4 Registration Statement shall become effective and (ii) the Closing Date, and addressed to the parties and the directors of each party, in form and substance customary for “comfort” letters delivered by independent public accountants in connection with registration statements similar to the S-4 Registration Statement.

               (b) The Company and Parent each shall, upon request by the other, furnish the other with all information concerning itself, its Subsidiaries, directors, officers and stockholders and such other matters as may be reasonably necessary or advisable in connection with the Prospectus/Proxy Statement, the S-4 Registration Statement or any other statement, filing, notice or application made by or on behalf of Parent, the Company or any of their respective Subsidiaries to any third party and/or any Governmental Entity in connection with the Merger and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

               (c) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Company and Parent shall cooperate with each other and use (and shall cause their respective Subsidiaries to use) their respective reasonable best efforts to take or cause to be taken all actions, and do or cause to be done all things, reasonably necessary, proper or advisable on its part under this Agreement and applicable Laws to consummate and make effective the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including (i) preparing and filing all documentation to effect all necessary notices, reports and other filings (x) within forty-five (45) days of the date hereof (or as mutually agreed by the parties hereto), in the case of a filing under the HSR Act, but only if prior to the end of such forty-five (45) day period, the Company has not entered into a definitive agreement with respect to a transaction which, if consummated, would result in a filing under the HSR Act not being required with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby and (y) as promptly as reasonably practicable after the date hereof in the case of filings with non-U.S. Governmental Entities and (ii) obtaining all consents, registrations, approvals, permits and authorizations necessary or advisable to be obtained from any third party and/or any Governmental Entity in order to consummate the Merger or any of the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided, however, that except as set forth in clause (e) below, nothing in this Agreement, including this Section 6.5, shall require, or be construed to require, Parent to proffer to, or agree to, sell, divest, lease, license, transfer, dispose of or otherwise encumber or hold separate and agree to sell, divest, lease, license, transfer, dispose of or otherwise encumber before or after the Effective Time, any assets, licenses, operations, rights, product lines, businesses or interest therein of Parent, the Company or any of their respective Affiliates (or to consent to any sale, divestiture, lease, license, transfer, disposition or other encumbrance by the Company of any of its assets, licenses, operations, rights, product lines, businesses or interest therein, loss of ability to set off for tax purposes in the future any and all losses accumulated by the Company or to any agreement by the Company to take any of the foregoing actions) or to agree to any material changes (including through a licensing arrangement) or restriction on, or other impairment of Parent’s ability to own or operate, of any such assets, licenses, product lines, businesses or interests therein or Parent’s ability to vote, transfer, receive dividends or otherwise exercise full ownership rights with respect to the stock of the Surviving Corporation. Subject to applicable Laws relating to the exchange of information, Parent shall have the right to direct all matters with any Governmental Entity consistent with its obligations hereunder; provided that Parent and the Company shall

have the right to review in advance, and to the extent practicable each will consult with the other on and consider in good faith the views of the other in connection with, all of the information relating to Parent or the Company, as the case may be, and any of their respective Subsidiaries, that appears in any filing made with, or written materials submitted to, any third party and/or any Governmental Entity in connection with the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including the Prospectus/Proxy Statement). In exercising the foregoing rights, each of the Company and Parent shall act reasonably and as promptly as practicable.

               (d) In furtherance of, and not in limitation of the foregoing, the parties shall use their respective reasonable best efforts to respond promptly to any requests for additional information made by any Governmental Entity with respect to antitrust or competition matters, and to cause the waiting periods under the HSR Act and other similar Law applicable to the transactions contemplated hereby to terminate or expire at the earliest possible date after the date of filing. The parties hereto agree not to extend directly or indirectly any waiting period under the HSR Act or any other similar Law or enter into any agreement with a Governmental Entity to delay or not to consummate the Merger, except with the prior written consent of the other parties hereto. If any administrative or judicial action or proceeding is instituted (or threatened to be instituted) challenging the Merger or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement as violative of any antitrust or competition Law, or if any antitrust or competition Order enacted, entered, promulgated or enforced by a Governmental Entity that would make the Merger or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement illegal or would otherwise prohibit or materially impair or delay the consummation of the Merger or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, then, subject to Section 6.5(e), each of Parent and Merger Sub shall use its reasonable best efforts to contest and resist any such action or proceeding and shall use its reasonable best efforts to have vacated, lifted, reversed or overturned any antitrust or competition Order, whether temporary, preliminary or permanent, that is in effect and that prohibits, prevents or restricts consummation of the Merger or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement and to have such Order repealed, rescinded or made inapplicable so as to permit consummation of the Merger and such other transactions.

               (e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the parties hereby agree and acknowledge that neither this Section 6.5 nor the “reasonable best efforts” standard nor any other provision of this Agreement shall require, or be construed to require, other than as set forth in the proviso below, Parent or any of its Subsidiaries or other Affiliates, in order to obtain any approvals or otherwise, to (i)(A) sell, lease, license, transfer, dispose of, divest or otherwise encumber, or hold separate pending any such action, or (B) propose, negotiate or offer to effect, or consent or commit to, any such sale, leasing, licensing, transfer, disposal, divestiture or other encumbrance, or holding separate, before or after the Effective Time, of any assets, licenses, operations, rights, product lines, businesses or interest therein of Parent, the Company or the Surviving Corporation (or any of their respective Subsidiaries or other Affiliates), or (ii) take or agree to take any other action or agree or consent to any limitations or restrictions on freedom of actions with respect to, or its ability to retain, or make changes in, any such assets, licenses, operations, rights, product lines, businesses or interest therein of Parent, the Company or the Surviving Corporation (or any of their respective Subsidiaries or other Affiliates); provided, however, that Parent’s “reasonable best efforts” for purposes of Sections 6.5(c) and (d) shall include a requirement by Parent to agree to sell or

otherwise dispose of, and to sell or otherwise dispose of, businesses or assets that, except as set forth in Schedule 6.5(e), in the aggregate, produced aggregate gross revenues in an amount not in excess of $124 million (subject to adjustment as provided in Section 6.6) for Parent, the Company and their respective Subsidiaries during the 2009 fiscal year (the “Maximum Divestiture Commitment”), calculated in accordance with GAAP, on a basis consistent with the accounting principles used in preparing their respective 2009 financial statements included in the Company SEC Reports or Parent SEC Reports, as applicable, if such action should be reasonably necessary to (x) obtain any consent or approval required for the consummation of the Merger under Section 7.1(c) or (y) eliminate, terminate or remove the issuance of any Order described in Section 7.1(d), to the extent related to antitrust or competition matters, or (z) eliminate, resolve, settle or terminate any suit, action or proceeding related to antitrust or competition matters described in Section 7.2(c), in each case prior to August 20, 2011 (if the Termination Date is not extended as provided in Section 8.2) or November 21, 2011 (if the Termination Date is so extended). Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, Parent shall not be required to agree to any such dispositions (and shall be entitled in good faith to contest any threatened or pending litigation or proceeding brought by any Governmental Entity) unless failure to do so would result in the closing conditions not being met hereunder prior to the earlier of (1) the termination of this Agreement and (2) ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇, ▇▇▇▇ (▇▇ the Termination Date is not extended as provided in Section 8.2), or November 21, 2011 (if the Termination Date is so extended). For the avoidance of doubt, when calculating amounts under this Section 6.5(e), 6.5(d), 7.1(c) or 7.2(c), all dispositions or changes in scope of operations that have been or are obligated to be undertaken (or with respect to which written undertakings have been given to a Governmental Entity) or are required to be disregarded (in the case of Section 7.2(c)) with respect to the assets, licenses, operations, rights, product lines, business or interests of Parent, the Company or the Surviving Corporation (or any of their respective Subsidiaries or other Affiliates) for the purposes described in the preceding sentence shall be aggregated together to determine whether the dollar limits set forth herein have been met or exceeded.

               (f) Subject to applicable Law and as required by any Governmental Entity, the Company and Parent each shall keep the other apprised of the status of matters relating to completion of the transactions contemplated hereby, including promptly furnishing the other with copies of notices or other communications received by Parent or the Company, as the case may be, or any of its Subsidiaries, from any third party and/or any Governmental Entity with respect to such transactions, and, subject to applicable Law, shall permit the other party to review in advance any proposed written communication to any such Governmental Entity and shall incorporate the other party’s reasonable comments. Neither Parent nor the Company shall permit any of its officers or any other representatives or agents to participate in any meeting with any Governmental Entity in respect of any filings, investigation or other inquiry relating to the transactions contemplated hereby unless it consults with the other party in advance and, to the extent permitted by such Governmental Entity, gives the other party the opportunity to attend and participate thereat.

               (g) Parent and the Company each shall give prompt notice to the other of any change, fact or condition that is reasonably likely to result in a Company Material Adverse Effect or a Parent Material Adverse Effect, respectively, or of any failure of any condition to the other party’s obligations to effect the Merger.

                    6.6 Dispositions. (a) So long as Parent requests, and subject to the further limitations set forth below in Section 6.6(b), the Company shall use reasonable best efforts as promptly as practicable to effectuate the disposition of portions of its business identified by Parent as reasonably necessary to satisfy the conditions to closing set forth in Article VII (any applicable transaction document in connection with the foregoing being referred to as an “Asset Purchase Agreement”); provided, that the Company shall not be obligated to execute an Asset Purchase Agreement with respect to any business if the sum of (i) the 2009 revenues of such business, together with (ii) the 2009 revenues of all other businesses with respect to which the Company has executed an Asset Purchase Agreement and (iii) the 2009 revenues of all businesses which Parent has agreed with any Governmental Entity to divest or hold separate as contemplated by Section 6.5 (such sum, the “Aggregate Divestiture Commitment”) would exceed the Maximum Divestiture Commitment then in effect, unless Parent agrees in writing to increase the Maximum Divestiture Commitment to an amount not less than the Aggregate Divestiture Commitment. Subject to applicable Law, the Company shall keep Parent informed on a current basis of the status of its efforts and discussions in connection with the foregoing, and shall use reasonable best efforts to incorporate the reasonable comments and input of Parent in connection therewith. The Company shall comply with its obligations under any applicable Asset Purchase Agreements, and, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in any such Asset Purchase Agreement, the Company shall use (and shall cause its Subsidiaries to use) reasonable best efforts to take or cause to be taken all actions, and do or cause to be done all things, reasonably necessary, proper or advisable on its part under such Asset Purchase Agreements and applicable Laws to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated thereby as soon as practicable and to enforce all of its rights thereunder. Subject to applicable Law, the Company shall keep Parent informed on a current basis as to the status of any applicable dispositions, including the status of all regulatory and other third-party approvals required in connection therewith, and as to any material communications with the applicable transferee, Governmental Entities or other third parties. For the avoidance of doubt, the terms of any Asset Purchase Agreement shall be subject to Parent’s prior written consent.

               (b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, but without limiting the Company’s obligations under Section 6.6(a), the parties acknowledge and agree that (i) if an Asset Purchase Agreement is executed, the Asset Purchase Agreement shall be expressly conditioned on the consummation of the Merger and shall provide that the closing under the Asset Purchase Agreement shall occur only if all conditions to Closing under this Agreement have been satisfied and the parties hereto are prepared to close the transactions contemplated by this Agreement immediately following the closing under the Asset Purchase Agreement, and (ii) any Asset Purchase Agreement shall provide that it may be terminated by the Company upon the termination of this Agreement without liability to the Company, and that any termination fee that may be payable shall be solely the obligation of Parent (and Parent will, if required, confirm in writing its agreement to pay any such termination fee).

                    6.7 Access; Consultation. Upon reasonable notice, and except as may otherwise be required by applicable Law, the Company shall (and shall cause its Subsidiaries to) afford Parent and its Representatives reasonable access, during normal business hours throughout the period prior to the Effective Time, to its employees, properties, books, contracts and records and, during such period, the Company shall (and shall cause its Subsidiaries to) furnish promptly

to Parent all information concerning its or any of its Subsidiaries’ business, properties and personnel as may reasonably be requested (including any financial statements, schedules or other data relating to the Company prepared by the Company in the ordinary course of business) and shall cooperate with Parent and its Representatives in preparing information and providing other assistance as reasonably requested by Parent and its Representatives in connection with Parent’s information and reports filed with any Governmental Entity or provided to its current or prospective stockholders or other financial counterparties; provided that no investigation pursuant to this Section 6.7 shall affect or be deemed to modify any representation or warranty made by the Company hereunder; and provided further that the foregoing shall not require the Company to permit any inspection, or to disclose any information, that in the reasonable judgment of the Company would violate any of its obligations with respect to confidentiality if the Company shall have used all commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the consent of such third party to such inspection or disclosure. All requests for information made pursuant to this Section 6.7 shall be directed to an executive officer of the Company, or such Person as may be designated by any such executive officer, as the case may be. All such information shall be governed by the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement.

                    6.8 Stock Exchange Listing and Delisting. Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the shares of Parent Common Stock issuable in the Merger pursuant to Article IV hereof to be approved for listing on the NYSE, subject to official notice of issuance, prior to the Closing Date. Prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall cooperate with Parent and use reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and do or cause to be done all things, reasonably necessary, proper or advisable on its part under applicable Laws and policies of the NYSE to enable the delisting by the Surviving Corporation of the Company Shares from the NYSE and the deregistration of the Company Shares under the Exchange Act as promptly as practicable after the Effective Time.

                    6.9 Publicity. The initial press release with respect to the Merger shall be a joint press release and thereafter the Company and Parent each shall consult with each other prior to issuing any press releases or otherwise making public announcements with respect to the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement and prior to making any filings with any third party and/or any Governmental Entity (including any national securities exchange) with respect thereto, except as may be required by Law or by obligations pursuant to any listing agreement with or rules of any national securities exchange, and except any consultation that would not be reasonably practicable as a result of requirements of Law.

                    6.10 Expenses. Except as otherwise provided in Section 8.5, whether or not the Merger is consummated, all costs and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be paid by the party incurring such expense, except that expenses incurred in connection with the filing fee for the S-4 Registration Statement and printing and mailing the Prospectus/Proxy Statement and the S-4 Registration Statement shall be shared equally by Parent and the Company.

                    6.11 Indemnification; Directors’ and Officers’ Insurance. (a) From and after the Effective Time, Parent shall, and shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, indemnify and hold harmless each present and former director and officer of the Company (when acting in such capacity) determined as of the Effective Time (the “Indemnified Parties”), against any costs

or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages or liabilities incurred in connection with any claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, arising out of or pertaining to matters existing or occurring at or prior to the Effective Time, whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the Effective Time, to the fullest extent that the Company would have been obligated to indemnify such Indemnified Parties at the date of this Agreement under its certificate of incorporation or by-laws in effect on the date of this Agreement. Parent hereby assumes, and shall cause the Surviving Corporation to assume, all obligations of the Company to indemnify the Indemnified Parties for acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Effective Time as provided in the respective certificate of incorporation or by-laws (or comparable organizational documents) of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries as now in effect, and any indemnification agreements or arrangements of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall survive the Merger and shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with their terms. Such rights shall not be amended, or otherwise modified in any manner that would adversely affect the rights of the Indemnified Parties, unless such modification is required by Law. Parent or the Surviving Corporation shall also advance expenses as incurred to the fullest extent required under such instruments as in effect on the date of this Agreement; provided that the Person to whom expenses are advanced provides an undertaking to repay such advances if it is ultimately determined that such Person is not entitled to indemnification.

               (b) Any Indemnified Party wishing to claim indemnification under paragraph (a) of this Section 6.11, upon learning of any such claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, shall promptly notify Parent and the Surviving Corporation thereof, but the failure to so notify shall not relieve Parent and the Surviving Corporation of any liability they may have to such Indemnified Party except to the extent failure prejudices Parent or the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be. In the event of any such claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation (whether arising before or after the Effective Time), (i) Parent or the Surviving Corporation shall have the right to assume the defense thereof and Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall not be liable to such Indemnified Party for any legal expenses of other counsel or any other expenses subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof, except that if Parent or the Surviving Corporation elects not to assume such defense or counsel for the Indemnified Party advises that there are issues which raise conflicts of interest between the Parent or the Surviving Corporation and the Indemnified Party, the Indemnified Party may retain counsel satisfactory to them, and Parent or the Surviving Corporation shall pay all reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel for the Indemnified Party promptly as statements therefor are received; provided, however, that Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall be obligated pursuant to this paragraph (b) to pay for no more than one firm of counsel (other than local counsel) for all Indemnified Parties, unless such counsel concludes in good faith that actual or potential conflicts of interest or differing claims against or potential defenses available to multiple Indemnified Parties make representation of all Indemnified Parties by a single counsel inappropriate, (ii) the Indemnified Party will cooperate in full in the defense of any such matter and (iii) Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall not be liable for any settlement effected without their prior written consent; and provided, further, that Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall not have any obligation hereunder to any Indemnified Party if and when a court of competent jurisdiction shall ultimately determine, and such determination shall

have become final, that the indemnification of such Indemnified Party in the manner contemplated hereby is prohibited by applicable Law.

               (c) Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, and the Surviving Corporation shall, maintain a policy of officers’ and directors’ liability insurance for acts and omissions occurring prior to the Effective Time (“D&O Insurance”) with coverage in amount and scope not less extensive than the Company’s existing directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage for a period of six (6) years after the Effective Time; provided, however, that, if the aggregate premium therefor exceeds 250% of the last annual premium paid prior to the date of this Agreement (such amount, as stated in Section 6.11(c) of the Company Disclosure Letter, the “Current Annual Premium”), the Surviving Corporation will use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain D&O Insurance in such amount and scope as can be obtained for an aggregate premium not in excess of 250% of the Current Annual Premium; and provided, further that in lieu of such coverage, Parent may substitute a prepaid “tail” policy for such coverage meeting the requirements of this Section 6.11(c), which it may cause the Company to obtain prior to the Closing.

               (d) Prior to the Effective Time, the Company may make any arrangements necessary to obtain or continue such D&O Insurance with coverage in amount and scope comparable to the Company’s existing directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage for such six (6) year period, including the payment of a premium to the applicable insurance providers; provided, however, that the aggregate premium therefor may not exceed 250% of the Current Annual Premium and the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the lowest aggregate premium that is reasonably obtainable for such coverage.

               (e) If Parent or any of its successors or assigns (i) shall consolidate with or merge into any other corporation or entity and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) shall transfer all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any individual, corporation or other entity, then and in each such case, proper provisions shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Parent shall assume all of the obligations set forth in this Section.

                    6.12 Takeover Statute. If any Takeover Statute is or may become applicable to the Merger or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, each of Parent and the Company and their respective Boards of Directors shall grant such approvals and take such actions as are necessary so that such transactions may be consummated as promptly as practicable on the terms contemplated by this Agreement or by the Merger and otherwise use reasonable best efforts to act to eliminate or minimize the effects of such statute or regulation on such transactions.

                    6.13 Section 16(b). The Board of Directors of each of the Company and Parent shall, prior to the Effective Time, take all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate pursuant to Rule 16b-3(d) and Rule 16b-3(e) under the Exchange Act to exempt from Section 16 of the Exchange Act (i) the disposition of Company Shares and “derivative securities” (as defined in Rule 16a-1(c) under the Exchange Act) with respect to Company Shares and (ii) the acquisition of Parent Common Stock and derivative securities with respect to Parent Common Stock pursuant to the terms of this Agreement by officers and directors of the Company subject

to the reporting requirements of Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act or by employees or directors of the Company who may become an officer or director of Parent subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act.

                    6.14 Rights. Prior to the Effective Time, the Board of Directors of the Company shall take any action (including, as necessary, amending or terminating (but with respect to termination, only as of immediately prior to the Effective Time) the Rights Agreement) necessary so that (a) none of the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the conversion of Company Shares into the right to receive the Merger Consideration in accordance with this Agreement, and the consummation of the Merger or any other transaction contemplated by this Agreement hereby will cause (i) the Rights to become exercisable under the Rights Agreement, (ii) Parent or any of its affiliates to be deemed an “Acquiring Person” (as defined in the Rights Agreement), (iii) the provisions of Section 11 or Section 13 of the Rights Agreement to become applicable to any such event or (iv) the “Distribution Date” or the “Stock Acquisition Date” (each as defined in the Rights Agreement) to occur upon any such event, and (b) the “Final Expiration Date” (as defined in the Rights Agreement) of the Rights will occur immediately prior to the Effective Time so that the Rights will expire immediately prior to the Effective Time. Without the prior written consent of Parent, neither the Board of Directors of the Company nor the Company shall take any other action to terminate the Rights Agreement, redeem the Rights, cause any person not to be or become an “Acquiring Person” or otherwise amend the Rights Agreement in a manner, or take any other action under the Rights Agreement, adverse to Parent or its affiliates.

                    6.15 Stockholder Litigation. The Company shall give Parent the opportunity to participate, at Parent’s cost and expense, in the defense or settlement of any stockholder litigation that currently exists or arises after the date of this Agreement against the Company or its directors or officers, and no such settlement shall be agreed to without Parent’s consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

                    6.16 Employee Matters.

               (a) For a period ending not earlier than 12 months following the Closing Date, employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries who continue their employment after the Effective Time (the “Affected Employees”) shall be provided with employee benefits under either (i) the employee benefit programs applicable to similarly situated employees of Parent or (ii) the employee benefit programs applicable to Affected Employees immediately prior to the Effective Time, as determined in the sole discretion of Parent. Parent shall, and shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, honor and pay from and after the Effective Time any bonus payment obligations of the Company and each Subsidiary of the Company properly accrued on the Company’s financial statements in accordance with GAAP for the Company’s fiscal year (or any portion thereof) ending with or before the Effective Time under bonus plans of the Company and each Subsidiary in accordance with their terms as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time.

               (b) With respect to any benefit plan, program, arrangement (including any “employee benefit plan” (as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA) and any vacation program), Parent shall, and shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, recognize the service with the

Company and its Subsidiaries (and any of their predecessors) prior to the Effective Time of Affected Employees for purposes of eligibility, vesting, level of benefits and benefit accruals under such plan or program, except with respect to any defined benefit pension plan and to the extent such recognition would result in a duplication of benefits.

               (c) With respect to any welfare plan in which employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries and their covered dependents are eligible to participate after the Effective Time, Parent shall, and shall cause the Surviving Corporation to use reasonable best efforts to, (i) waive all limitations as to preexisting conditions, exclusions and waiting periods with respect to participation and coverage requirements applicable to such employees and covered dependents to the extent such conditions were satisfied, inapplicable or waived under the welfare plans of the Company and its Subsidiaries prior to the Effective Time, and (ii) provide each such employee and covered dependent with credit for any co-payments, deductibles and maximum out-of pocket requirements paid or incurred prior to the Effective Time in satisfying any analogous deductible or maximum out-of-pocket requirements to the extent applicable under any such plan.

               (d) From and after the Effective Time, Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, honor all obligations of the Company under the Company Compensation and Benefit Plans, Company Non-U.S. Compensation and Benefit Plans and compensation and severance arrangements and agreements in accordance with their terms as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time; provided that, subject to the requirements of Section 6.16(a), nothing herein shall prohibit the Surviving Corporation from amending or terminating any particular Company Compensation and Benefit Plan or Company Non-U.S. Compensation and Benefit Plan to the extent permitted by its terms or applicable Laws. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, provide Affected Employees whose employment terminates during the 12 month period following the Effective Time who are not (i) parties to individual agreements providing severance or termination benefits or (ii) entitled to severance or termination benefits under the 2007 change in control severance arrangement or the Company’s 2010 Change of Control Plan (it being agreed that all Affected Employees described in clauses (i) and (ii) shall be entitled to severance or termination benefits in accordance with their individual agreements or the Company’s plans, arrangements or policies, as applicable), with severance benefits at levels no less than and pursuant to the terms of either (i) the Company’s severance policy described in Section 6.16(d) of the Company Disclosure Letter as in effect on the date hereof or (ii) under Parent’s severance policy, as determined in the sole discretion of Parent, and such severance benefits shall be determined taking into account the service crediting provisions set forth in Section 6.16(b).

               (e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 6.16 shall be deemed to modify any requirement under any federal, state, local or foreign law, statute or ordinance with respect to employment matters.

                    6.17 Tax Treatment. Parent, Merger Sub and Company shall each use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Merger to be treated as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code and shall not knowingly take any action, or fail to take any action, which action or failure would prevent, or reasonably be expected to prevent, the Merger from qualifying as a reorganization under Section 368(a) of the Code.

                    6.18 Certain Actions. (a) Recognizing that until the Closing (and if this Agreement is terminated for any reason, thereafter), without the other party’s consent, Parent and Company are competitors, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the applicable party shall not, directly or indirectly, through the earlier of (i) the Effective Time (if the Closing occurs) and (ii) the period (if any) specified below following termination of this Agreement (if the Closing does not occur):

          (A) for the term hereof and a period of six (6) months following any termination of this Agreement, directly or indirectly solicit for hire any officer or key employee set forth on Schedule 6.18A (Parent) or 6.18B (Company) or, except where this restriction is prohibited by law, hire any such employee; provided that nothing shall prohibit soliciting and hiring by means of a general advertisement not directed at (x) any particular individual, or (y) the employees of the other party generally, or responding to and hiring an employee of the other party who initiates contact with the applicable party provided that such contact is not solicited by the applicable party; or

          (B) seek to effect , announce or communicate, any potential reduction or elimination of the other party’s products or services or change in the pricing thereof.

               For the avoidance of doubt, it is agreed that internal planning conferences and related communications, in each case limited to senior executive of Parent and that are not in any way directly or indirectly communicated or disseminated to any Persons other than senior executives of Parent, shall not constitute communications prohibited by this Section 6.18.

               (b) The parties agree that the term of the Confidentiality Agreement set forth in Section 19 thereof shall be extended through the earlier of (i) the Effective Time (if the Closing occurs) and (ii) one (1) year following termination of this Agreement (if the Closing does not occur). The parties also agree that notwithstanding the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement, any confidential information provided to a party in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement may be disclosed to the extent required in connection with a regulatory filing or court order arising in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby in which case the parties shall use reasonable commercial efforts to preserve any confidential information so provided. The parties further agree that certain information has been provided solely to the other party’s outside legal counsel and may not be provided to the party, except as a party may agree in writing or as may be required in connection with a regulatory filing or court order arising in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby in which case the parties shall use reasonable commercial efforts to preserve any confidential information so provided.

               (c) In addition, if the Closing occurs, Parent agrees to do the following (and not to announce, communicate or take any action to the contrary during the period through the Closing):

                    (i) to fulfill any Company customer agreements or purchase orders entered into in the ordinary course of business consistent with the Company’s current business practices, unless the customer agrees otherwise;

                    (ii) to the extent requested by the applicable customer, provide warranty service on Company products required by contracts entered into in the ordinary course of business consistent with the Company’s current business practices, as well as repair and maintenance for the longer of three (3) years from Closing or as required by law, at service levels consistent with the Company’s current business practices; and

                    (iii) to the extent requested by the applicable customer, continue to support software applications, including the provision of bug fixes and updates for the longer of twelve (12) months from Closing or as required by law, at service levels consistent with the Company’s current business practices.

               (d) In the event of a breach of Section 6.18(a) prior to the termination of this Agreement,

                    (i) the non-breaching party shall provide notice of the breach as promptly as reasonably practicable following the date on which a Senior Officer of the non-breaching party obtains knowledge thereof;

                    (ii) with respect to the first such breach only, the breaching party shall have three (3) days in which to cure such breach, if curable;

                    (iii) if such initial breach is not cured within such three-day period, and in all cases with respect to any subsequent breach, the breaching party will pay the other party within three (3) business days of notice of the breach $1 million by wire transfer,

               provided, however, that such amounts shall only be payable in the event of a breach caused by (or at the instructions of or with the consent of or prior knowledge of (if the Senior Officer does not use reasonable efforts to prevent such breach and does not direct (or re-direct) the applicable Person to refrain from such activity after obtaining such knowledge) one or more of the breaching party’s senior officers (the “Senior Officers”) identified on Schedule 6.18AA (Parent) or Schedule 6.18BB (Company) or any successor. The parties agree that the amounts payable under this Section 6.18 are not intended to be and will not be punitive in effect and that they will compensate the non-breaching party for its losses (which may be difficult to ascertain) resulting from a breach of this Section 6.18. Nothing in this Section 6.18 shall limit any other right or remedy of any party under this Agreement.

For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Governmental Consents” shall mean all notices, reports, and other filings made or required to be made prior to the Effective Time by the Company or Parent or any of their respective Subsidiaries with, and all consents, registrations, approvals, permits, clearances and authorizations sought or required to be obtained prior to the Effective Time by the Company or Parent or any of their respective Subsidiaries from, any Governmental Entity in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the consummation of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby.

               (d) No Injunction or Restraint.
