As of the Effective Time, all such shares of Company Common Stock shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and shall cease to exist, and each certificate which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented any such shares of Company Common Stock (each, a “Certificate”) and each uncertificated share of Company Common Stock (an “Uncertificated Share”) which immediately prior to the Effective Time was registered to a holder on the stock transfer books of the Company, shall thereafter represent only the right to receive the Merger Consideration. For avoidance of doubt, no Merger Consideration shall be paid under this Section 2.02(a) on account of any Performance Unit or any right or security into which such Performance Unit converts as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and the settlement of Performance Units hereunder shall be governed solely by the provisions of Section 2.05 hereof.

     (b) each share of Company Common Stock held by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or owned by Parent or any of its Subsidiaries immediately prior to the Effective Time together with the Company Rights attached to each such share shall be canceled, and no payment shall be made with respect thereto; and

     (c) each share of common stock of Merger Subsidiary outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and become one share of common stock of the Surviving Corporation with the same rights, powers and privileges as the shares so converted and shall constitute the only outstanding shares of capital stock of the Surviving Corporation.

   Section 2.03 Surrender and Payment.

     (a) Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall appoint a commercial bank or trust company that is reasonably satisfactory to the Company (the “Paying Agent”) for the purpose of paying the Merger Consideration to the holders of Company Common Stock and shall enter into a Paying Agent Agreement with the Paying Agent. At or prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall deposit, or cause Merger Subsidiary to deposit, with the Paying Agent, for the benefit (from and after the Effective Time) of the holders of shares of Company Common Stock, for payment in accordance with this Section 2.03 through the Paying Agent, cash sufficient to pay the

aggregate Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.02. All cash deposited with the Paying Agent pursuant to this Section 2.03(a) shall herewith be referred to as the “Payment Fund“. Promptly after the Effective Time (and in any event within two Business Days following the Closing Date), Parent shall send, or shall cause the Paying Agent to send, to each Person who was, immediately prior to the Effective Time, a holder of record of shares of Company Common Stock entitled to receive payment of the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.02(a) a letter of transmittal and instructions (which shall specify that the delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title shall pass, only upon proper delivery of the Certificates or transfer of the Uncertificated Shares to the Paying Agent) for use in such payment.

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

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

     (d) The stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed immediately upon the Effective Time and there shall be no further registration of transfers of shares of Company Common Stock thereafter on the records of the Company. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates or Uncertificated Shares are presented to Parent, the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent for any reason, they shall be canceled and converted into the right to receive only the Merger Consideration to the extent provided for, and in accordance with the procedures set forth, in this Article 2.

     (e) Any portion of the Merger Consideration made available to the Paying Agent pursuant to Section 2.03(a) that remains unclaimed by the holders of shares of Company Common Stock six (6) months after the Effective Time shall be delivered to Parent or otherwise on the instruction of Parent, and any such holder who has not exchanged shares of Company Common Stock for the Merger Consideration in accordance with this Section 2.03 prior to that time shall thereafter look only to Parent for payment of the Merger Consideration, in respect of such shares without any interest thereon. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Parent shall not be liable to any holder of shares of Company Common Stock for any amounts paid to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar laws. Any amounts remaining unclaimed by holders of shares of Company Common Stock immediately prior to

such time when the amounts would otherwise escheat to or become property of any Governmental Authority shall become, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, the property of Parent free and clear of any claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.

   Section 2.04 Dissenting Shares. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, shares of Company Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and held by a holder who has not voted in favor of the Merger or consented thereto in writing and who has properly demanded appraisal for such shares in accordance with Section 262 of Delaware Law (collectively, the “Dissenting Shares”) shall not be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration. From and after the Effective Time, a holder of Dissenting Shares shall not have, and shall not be entitled to exercise, any of the voting rights or other rights of a holder of shares of the Surviving Corporation. If, after the Effective Time, such holder fails to perfect, withdraws or loses the right to appraisal under Section 262 of Delaware Law, such shares shall be treated as if they had been converted as of the Effective Time into the right to receive the Merger Consideration. The Company shall give Parent prompt notice of any demands received by the Company for appraisal of shares, and Parent shall have the right to direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demands. Except with the prior written consent of Parent, the Company shall not make any payment with respect to, or offer to settle or settle, any such demands.

   Section 2.05 Stock Options and Other Equity Awards.

     (a) Options. At the Effective Time, each outstanding Company Stock Option under any Stock Plan, including without limitation the 1993 Option Plan, the 1995 Option Plan and the 1999 Option Plan, whether or not then exercisable or vested, shall become fully vested and be cancelled in exchange for the right to receive, within ten (10) Business Days after the Effective Time, an amount in cash equal to the product of (A) the total number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Company Stock Option immediately prior to the Effective Time, multiplied by (B) the excess, if any, of the Merger Consideration over the exercise price per share of Company Common Stock under such Company Stock Option, less any applicable taxes required to be withheld with respect to such payment. As used herein, the term “Company Stock Option” shall mean any outstanding option to purchase shares of capital stock of the Company under any Stock Plan. As of the Effective Time, all Company Stock Options shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically cease to exist and shall become only the right to receive the option consideration described in this Section 2.05(a), and, without limiting the foregoing, the Board of Directors of the Company or the appropriate committee thereof shall take all necessary action to effect such cancellation, including but not limited to adopting any required amendment to any of the Stock Plans, and obtaining any required participant consents.

     (b) Employee Stock Purchase Plan. As soon as practicable following the date of this Agreement, the Board of Directors of the Company or the compensation committee of the Board of Directors of the Company will adopt such resolutions and take such other reasonable actions as may be required to provide that with respect to the Company’s Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”): (A) participants in the ESPP may not alter their payroll deductions from those in effect on the date of this Agreement (other than to discontinue their participation in the ESPP), (B) no offering period will be commenced after the date of this Agreement (it being understood that the current offering(s) in progress as of the date hereof shall continue, and shares of

Company Common Stock shall be issued to participants thereunder on the next currently scheduled purchase date thereunder occurring after the date hereof as provided under, and subject to the terms and conditions of, the ESPP), (C) in accordance with the terms of the ESPP, any offering in progress as of the Effective Time shall be shortened, and the “Offering Termination Date” (as defined in the ESPP) shall be the Business Day immediately preceding the Effective Time, (D) each then outstanding option under the ESPP shall be exercised automatically on such Offering Termination Date, (E) the ESPP shall be terminated effective immediately prior to the Effective Time and (F) the amount of the accumulated contributions of each participant under the ESPP as of immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, to the extent not used to purchase shares of capital stock of the Company in accordance with the ESPP, be refunded to such participant as promptly as practicable following the Effective Time (without interest). Notwithstanding any restrictions on transfer of stock in the ESPP, the treatment in the Merger of any stock purchased pursuant to the ESPP as described under this provision shall be in accordance with Section 2.02(a).

     (c) Performance Units. At the Effective Time, the performance objectives underlying all Performance Units that are outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be deemed to be achieved at the maximum level, pursuant to the terms of the 2004 LTIP as described in Section 4.27, as amended prior to the date upon which the Company’s Board of Directors approved this Agreement. At such time, such Performance Units shall not be converted into Company Restricted Shares, but rather shall be converted into the unvested right (the “Unvested Cash Right”) to receive, upon vesting, an amount in cash equal to (i) the number of Performance Units multiplied by (ii) $1.50. The Unvested Cash Rights shall vest on the 12-month anniversary of the Closing Date, provided that the holder thereof has been continuously employed by Parent or its Affiliates (including the Surviving Corporation) through such date, or shall vest on such earlier date as may be provided under the terms of the 2004 LTIP as described in Section 4.27, as amended prior to the date upon which the Company’s Board of Directors approves this Agreement. The amount of cash to which the holder of any such Unvested Cash Right is entitled shall be paid, without interest, within ten (10) calendar days after the vesting thereof. All amounts payable pursuant to the Unvested Cash Rights are intended to be “short-term deferrals” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(4), and accordingly, are intended to be exempt from the application of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code, the regulations and other guidance of general applicability thereunder, and any state law of similar effect (collectively, “Section 409A”), and accordingly, no payment of the cash underlying Unvested Cash Rights will be subject to the additional income tax under Section 409A, and any ambiguities herein will be interpreted to be so exempt. If the Closing Date occurs after July 3, 2011, in no event will Performance Units (other than Performance Units held by an employee with an employment agreement described in Section 4.27) with a performance period which ends on such date be converted into an Unvested Cash Right under this Section 2.05(c). Instead, to the extent such Performance Units are outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time due to the fact that the Company has not had sufficient time after the end of such fiscal year to convert such Performance Units into Company Restricted Shares in accordance with the terms of the 2004 LTIP, such Performance Units shall be cancelled in exchange for the right to receive, within ten (10) Business Days after the Effective Time, an amount in cash equal to the product of (a) the number of Performance Units subject to an award and (B) $1.50. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2.05(c) (except for the first sentence of this Section 2.05(c)) to the contrary, Performance Units, including those Performance Units which are fully

earned as of July 3, 2011, held by an employee with an employment agreement described in Exhibit C, D, E or F to Section 4.27, which have not been converted into Company Restricted Shares as of Closing, shall be considered outstanding and converted into Unvested Cash Rights pursuant to this Section 2.05. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2.05(c) (except for the first sentence of this Section 2.05(c)) to the contrary, Performance Units, including those Units which are fully earned as of July 3, 2011, held by an employee with an employment agreement described in Exhibit A or B to Section 4.27, which have not been converted into Company Restricted Shares as of Closing, shall be settled in accordance with the terms of such employment agreement.

   Section 2.06 Adjustments. If, during the period between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time, any change in the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock shall occur, as a result of any reclassification, recapitalization, stock split (including reverse stock split), merger, combination, exchange or readjustment of shares, subdivision or other similar transaction, or any stock dividend thereon with a record date during such period, the Merger Consideration and any other amounts payable pursuant to this Agreement shall be appropriately adjusted to eliminate the effect of such event on the Merger Consideration or any such other amounts payable pursuant to this Agreement.

   Section 2.07 Withholding Rights. Each of the Paying Agent, Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable to any Person pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under any provision of any Applicable Law, including federal, state, local or foreign Tax law, and if any such amounts are deducted and withheld, Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, as the case may be, timely pay such amounts to the appropriate Government Authority. If the Paying Agent, Parent or the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, so withholds amounts, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of the shares of Company Common Stock in respect of which the Paying Agent, Parent or the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, made such deduction and withholding.

   Section 2.08 Lost Certificates. If any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if reasonably required by the Surviving Corporation, the posting by such Person of a bond, in such reasonable amount as the Surviving Corporation may direct, as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, the Paying Agent will issue, in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate, the Merger Consideration to be paid in respect of the shares of Company Common Stock represented by such Certificate, as contemplated by this Article 2.

ARTICLE 3
THE SURVIVING CORPORATION

   Section 3.01 Articles of Incorporation. The certificate of incorporation of the Company shall be amended in its entirety as set forth on Annex I and, as amended, shall be the certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation until amended in accordance with Applicable Law.

   Section 3.02 Bylaws. The bylaws of Merger Subsidiary in effect at the Effective Time shall be the bylaws of the Surviving Corporation until amended in accordance with Applicable Law.

   Section 3.03 Directors and Officers. From and after the Effective Time, until successors are duly elected or appointed and qualified in accordance with Applicable Law, (i) the directors of Merger Subsidiary at the Effective Time shall be the directors of the Surviving Corporation and (ii) the officers of the Merger Subsidiary at the Effective Time shall be the officers of the Surviving Corporation.

ARTICLE 4
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE COMPANY

     Except (i) as disclosed in the Company SEC Documents filed with or furnished to the SEC by the Company since June 28, 2009 and publicly available prior to the date of this Agreement (“Filed Company SEC Documents”) (other than any disclosures set forth in any risk factor section, any disclosures of risks included in any “forward-looking statements” disclaimer or any other statements that are similarly predictive or forward-looking in nature), or (ii) as set forth in the Company Disclosure Schedule (it being agreed that disclosure of any information in a particular section or subsection of the Company Disclosure Schedule shall be deemed disclosure with respect to any other section or subsection of this Agreement to which the relevance of such information is readily apparent on its face), the Company represents and warrants to Parent that:

Each of the Company and its Subsidiaries is duly qualified to do business as a foreign corporation and is in good standing in each jurisdiction where such qualification is necessary, except for those jurisdictions where failure to be so qualified has not had and would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on the Company. Prior to the date of this Agreement, the Company has made available to Parent true and complete copies of the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Company and each of its Subsidiaries as in effect on the date of this Agreement, and each as so delivered is in full force and effect. The Company is not in violation of any provision of its certificate of incorporation or bylaws.

This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Company and, assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery by Parent and Merger Subsidiary, constitutes a valid and binding agreement of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with its

The Company Stockholder Approval is the only vote of the holders of any class or series of the Company’s capital stock or other securities required in connection with the consummation of the Merger. No vote of the holders of any class or series of the Company’s capital stock or other securities is required in connection with the consummation of any of transactions contemplated hereby to be consummated by the Company other than the Merger.

Except as set forth on Section 4.04 of the Company Disclosure Schedule, the execution, delivery and performance by the Company of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby do not and will not (i) contravene, conflict with, or result in any violation or breach of any provision of the certificate of incorporation or bylaws of the Company, (ii) assuming compliance with the matters referred to in Section 4.03, contravene, conflict with or result in a violation or breach of any provision of any Applicable Law that is material to the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, (iii) assuming compliance with the matters referred to in Section 4.03, require any consent or other action by any Person under, constitute a default, or an event that, with or without notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute a default, under, or cause or permit the termination, cancellation, acceleration or other change of any right or obligation or the loss of any benefit to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is entitled under any provision of any Contract binding upon the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any license, franchise, permit, certificate, approval or other similar authorization affecting, or relating in any way to, the assets or business of the Company and its Subsidiaries or (iv) result in the creation or imposition of any Lien (other

than Permitted Liens) on any asset of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, with such exceptions, in the case of each of clauses (iii) and (iv), as would not be reasonably expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect on the Company.

   Section 4.05 Capitalization.

There are no outstanding obligations of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to repurchase, redeem or otherwise acquire any of the Company Securities.

Each such Subsidiary is duly qualified to do business as a foreign corporation or other entity, as applicable, and is in good standing in each jurisdiction where such qualification is necessary, except for those jurisdictions where failure to be so qualified has not had a Material Adverse Effect on the Company.

   Section 4.07 SEC Filings and the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇ Act.

     Except as set forth in Section 4.07 of the Company Disclosure Schedule:

     (a) The Company has filed with or furnished to the SEC all reports, schedules, forms, statements, prospectuses, registration statements and other documents required to be filed or furnished by the Company since June 28, 2009 (collectively, together with any exhibits and schedules thereto and other information incorporated therein, the “Company SEC Documents”).

     (b) As of its filing date (or, if amended or superseded by a filing prior to the date of this Agreement, on the date of such subsequent filing), each Company SEC Document complied in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act and the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇ Act, as the case may be, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, as the case may be (including, without limitation, all disclosure requirements thereunder).

     (c) As of its respective filing date (or, if amended or superseded by a filing prior to the date of this Agreement, on the date of such filing), each Company SEC Document filed pursuant to the 1934 Act did not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

     (d) Each Company SEC Document that is a registration statement, as amended or supplemented, if applicable, filed pursuant to the 1933 Act, as of the date such registration statement or amendment became effective, did not 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 not misleading.

     (e) The Company has established and maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15 under the 1934 Act). Such disclosure controls and procedures are reasonably designed to ensure that all information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the 1934 Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC and all such information is made known to the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures as required under the 1934 Act.

Agreement, will contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither Parent nor Merger Subsidiary makes any representation or warranty with respect to statements made by the Company included or incorporated by reference in the Company Proxy Statement, which are based on information not provided by or on behalf of Parent or Merger Subsidiary for the inclusion in the Company Proxy Statement or any amendment to supplement thereto.

   Section 5.06 Financing.

     (a) Parent has delivered to the Company true and complete copies of the executed commitment letter from UBS Securities LLC, UBS Loan Finance LLC, Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC and Credit Suisse AG, Cayman Islands Branch (collectively, the “Lender”), including any schedules, exhibits and annexes thereto and excerpts of the engagement letter associated therewith (the “Engagement Letter”) that contain any conditions to funding or “flex” provisions, and a copy of the fee letter associated therewith (the “Fee Letter”) with only fee amounts and “flex” provisions redacted (the Fee Letter, together with such commitment letter and any schedules, exhibits and annexes thereto, collectively, the “Commitment Letter”), pursuant to which the lender parties thereto have agreed, subject to the terms and conditions thereof, to provide or cause to be provided the debt amounts set forth therein (the “Financing”) (which may include up to $200.0 million in bridge financing (the “Bridge Financing”) to be utilized in the event the placement of high yield securities in a comparable amount (the “High-Yield Financing”) is not consummated prior to or concurrently with the Closing). Parent represents and warrants that the Engagement Letter and the “flex” provisions of the Fee Letter do not permit the imposition of any new conditions (or the expansion of any existing conditions) or any reduction in the Financing that would result in net cash proceeds less than the amount that would be required to consummate the Merger. As of the date of this Agreement, the Commitment Letter has not been amended, restated or otherwise modified and neither Parent nor Merger Subsidiary has waived any provision thereof, and the commitments contained in the Commitment Letter have not been withdrawn, modified or rescinded. As of the date of this Agreement, the Commitment Letter is in full force and effect and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of each of Parent or Merger Subsidiary and, to the knowledge of Parent, Lender (except to the extent that enforceability may be limited by the applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, reorganization or similar Laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally or by general principles of equity). There are no conditions precedent or contingencies related to the funding of the full amount (including pursuant to any “flex” provisions in connection therewith) of the Financing other than as expressly set forth in the Commitment Letter. There are no side letters or other agreements, Contracts or arrangements that would (i) affect the availability of the Financing, (ii) reduce the aggregate amount of the Financing, (iii) delay or prevent the Closing or (iv) modify the terms of the Financing in any manner materially adverse to Parent or Merger Subsidiary. As of the date of this Agreement, no event has occurred that (with or without notice or lapse of time, or both) would or would reasonably be expected to constitute a breach or default under the Commitment Letter by Parent or Merger Subsidiary or, to the knowledge of Parent, any other party thereto under the Commitment Letter. As of the date of this Agreement, neither Parent nor Merger Subsidiary has any reason to believe that any of the conditions to the Financing contemplated by the Commitment Letter will not be satisfied; provided that Parent and Merger Sub are not making

any representation or warranty regarding the effect of any inaccuracy of the representations and warranties of the Company in this Agreement or the failure to of the Company to comply with any of its covenants in this Agreement. Parent or Merger Subsidiary has fully paid any and all commitment fees or other fees required by the terms of the Commitment Letter to be paid on or before the date of this Agreement. The aggregate proceeds contemplated by the Commitment Letter, together with other financial resources of Parent and Merger Subsidiary including cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of Parent, Merger Subsidiary, the Company and the Company’s Subsidiaries on the Closing Date, will be sufficient for Parent and Merger Subsidiary to consummate the Merger upon the terms contemplated by this Agreement and to pay all related fees and expenses; provided that Parent and Merger Sub are not making any representation or warranty regarding the effect of any inaccuracy of the representations and warranties of the Company in this Agreement or the failure to of the Company to comply with any of its covenants in this Agreement.

     (b) Assuming (i) the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Company set forth in Article 4 hereof (for such purposes, such representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all material respects and all knowledge, materiality or “Material Adverse Effect” qualifications or exceptions contained in such representations and warranties shall be disregarded) and (ii) any estimates, projections or forecasts of the Company and its Subsidiaries have been prepared in good faith based upon assumptions that were and continue to be reasonable, as of the Effective Time, after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the Financing, and the payment of the aggregate Merger Consideration, any other repayment or refinancing of existing indebtedness contemplated by this Agreement or the Commitment Letter, payment of all amounts required to be paid in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and payment of all related fees and expenses, Parent will be Solvent as of the Effective Time and immediately following the transactions contemplated hereby. For purposes of this Section 5.06, “Solvent“ with respect to the Parent means that, as of any date of determination, (i) the amount of all of the assets of Parent and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, at a fair valuation, exceeds, as of such date, the sum of the debts of Parent and its Subsidiaries; (ii) Parent will not have, as of such date, an unreasonably small amount of capital for the operation of the business in which it is engaged or proposed to be engaged following the Closing Date; and (iii) Parent will be able to pay its liabilities, including contingent and other liabilities, as they mature; provided that the terms set forth in this definition in each case shall be interpreted in accordance with the applicable federal Laws governing determinations of the insolvency of debtors.

   Section 5.07 Finders’ Fees. Except for UBS Securities LLC and Credit Suisse, whose fees will be paid by Parent, there is no investment banker, broker, finder or other intermediary that has been retained by or is authorized to act on behalf of Parent who is entitled to any fee or commission from the Company or any of its Affiliates upon consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

   Section 5.08 Litigation. As of the date of this Agreement, there is no Action pending or, to the knowledge of Parent, threatened, against Parent or any of its Subsidiaries before any Governmental Authority or arbitrator that will, individually or in the aggregate, materially delay or impair the ability of Parent or Merger Subsidiary to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby on a timely basis, nor is there any Order outstanding against, or, to the

knowledge of Parent, investigation by any Governmental Authority or arbitrator involving, Parent or any of its Subsidiaries that will, individually or in the aggregate, materially delay or impair the ability of Parent or Merger Subsidiary to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby on a timely basis.

   Section 5.09 Investigation by Parent and Merger Subsidiary. In entering into this Agreement, each of Parent and Merger Subsidiary has relied upon its own investigation and analysis, and each of Parent and Merger Subsidiary acknowledges that, except for the representations and warranties of the Company expressly set forth in Article 4, none of the Company or its Subsidiaries nor any of their respective representatives makes any representation or warranty, either express or implied, including as to (a) the accuracy or completeness of any of the material, information or documents provided or made available to Parent or Merger Subsidiary or any of their representatives or (b) any projections, estimates or budgets for the Company or its Subsidiaries.

   Section 5.10 Ownership of Company Common Stock. For the three (3) years prior to the date hereof, neither Parent nor Merger Subsidiary has beneficially owned (within the meaning of Section 13 of the 1934 Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder) or “owned” (as defined in Section 203 of Delaware Law) any Shares (other than pursuant to this Agreement) or has been an “interested stockholder” (as defined in Section 203 of Delaware Law), or is a party to any Contract, arrangement or understanding (other than this Agreement) for the purpose of acquiring, holding, voting or disposing of any Shares.

   Section 5.11 Employee Matters. As of the date of this Agreement, Parent has no intention to, during the period commencing at the Effective Date and ending on December 31, 2011, with respect to the employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries as of the Effective Time (the “Current Employees”) who remain employees of the Surviving Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries following the Effective Time, reduce the base salary, annual and quarterly bonus opportunities, welfare benefits and perquisites (excluding equity and equity based incentive compensation) provided by the Company and its Subsidiaries to the Current Employees immediately prior to the Effective Time, provided, however, that nothing herein shall limit Parent’s ability to operate the business of Parent or the Surviving Corporation as it deems necessary following the Closing.

initiate or take any action to facilitate or encourage the submission of any Acquisition Proposal, (ii) enter into or participate in any discussions or negotiations with, furnish any information relating to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or afford access to the business, properties, assets, books or records of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to, any Third Party that is seeking to make, or has made, an Acquisition Proposal, (iii) withdraw or modify in a manner adverse to Parent or the Merger, or publicly propose to withdraw or modify in a manner adverse to Parent or the Merger, the Company Board Recommendation, or recommend, endorse, adopt or approve or publicly propose to recommend, endorse, adopt or approve an Acquisition Proposal (any of the foregoing in this clause (iii), an “Adverse Recommendation Change”), (iv) grant any waiver or release under any standstill or similar agreement with respect to any voting securities of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or (v) enter into any agreement in principle, letter of intent, term sheet, merger agreement, acquisition agreement, or other similar instrument constituting or relating to an Acquisition Proposal (an “Alternative Acquisition Agreement”) or (vi) resolve or agree to do any of the foregoing. The Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, and shall instruct their respective Representatives to, (A) cease immediately and terminate any and all existing activities, discussions or negotiations, if any, with any Third Party conducted prior to the date of this Agreement with respect to any Acquisition Proposal, (B) instruct any such Third Party (or its agents or advisors) in possession of confidential information about the Company that was furnished by or on behalf of the Company to return or destroy all such information and (C) subject to Section 6.02(b), not terminate, waive, amend, release or modify any provision of any confidentiality or standstill agreement to which it or any of its Affiliates or Representatives is a party with respect to any Acquisition Proposal, and enforce the provisions of any such agreement.

     (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time prior to the adoption of this Agreement by Company’s stockholders, the Board of Directors of the Company, directly or indirectly through advisors, agents or other intermediaries, may, subject to compliance with Section 6.02(c), (i) engage in negotiations or discussions (including, as a part thereof, making any counterproposal or counter offer to) with any Third Party that, subject to the Company’s compliance with Section 6.02(a), has made after the date of this Agreement a Superior Proposal or a bona fide unsolicited written Acquisition Proposal that the Board of Directors of the Company believes in good faith (after consultation with a financial advisor of nationally recognized reputation and outside legal counsel) is reasonably likely to lead to a Superior Proposal, (ii) thereafter furnish to any Third Party that, subject to the Company’s compliance with Section 6.02(a), has made after the date of this Agreement a Superior Proposal, nonpublic information relating to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries pursuant to a confidentiality agreement with terms no less favorable to the Company than those contained in the Confidentiality Agreement; provided that all such information (to the extent that such information has not been previously provided or made available to Parent) is provided or made available to Parent, as the case may be, prior to or substantially concurrently with the time it is provided or made available to such Third Party), (iii) terminate, waive, amend, release or modify any provision of any confidentiality or standstill agreement to which it or any of its Affiliates or Representatives is a party with respect to any Superior Proposal; and (iv) make an Adverse Recommendation Change, but in each case referred to in the foregoing clauses (i) through (iv) only if the Board of Directors of the Company determines in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel to the Company, that failure to take such action would likely result in a breach of its fiduciary duties under Applicable Law, taking into account all adjustments to the

terms of this Agreement that may be offered by Parent pursuant to Section 6.02(c). Nothing contained herein shall prevent the Board of Directors of the Company from complying with requirements Rule 14e-2(a) under the 1934 Act or complying with the requirements of Rule 14d-9 under the 1934 Act with regard to an Acquisition Proposal, so long as any action taken or statement made to so comply is consistent with this Section 6.02(b) provided, however, that in no event shall this sentence affect the obligations of the Company otherwise specified in Sections 6.02(a), (b) and (c). For the avoidance of doubt, a “stop, look and listen” or similar communication of the type contemplated by Rule 14d 9(f) under the 1934 Act, an express rejection of any applicable Acquisition Proposal or an express reaffirmation of the Company’s recommendation to the stockholders of the Company in favor of the Merger shall not be deemed to be an Adverse Recommendation Change (including for purposes of Section 10.01(c)(i)).

     (c) The Board of Directors of the Company shall not take any of the actions referred to in clauses (i) through (iv) of Section 6.02(b) unless (i) the Company shall have delivered to Parent at least three (3) Business Days prior written notice advising Parent that it intends to take such action and specifying the reasons therefor (it being understood and agreed that any amendment to the financial terms or any other material term of such Superior Proposal shall require a new written notice by the Company and a new two Business Day period), (ii) prior to the expiration of such three Business Day period (or two Business Day period, as applicable), Parent does not make a proposal to adjust the terms and conditions of this Agreement that the Board of Directors of the Company determines in good faith (after consultation with outside counsel and its financial advisor) to be at least as favorable as the Superior Proposal after giving effect to, among other things, the payment of the Company Termination Fee set forth in Section 11.04(b), such that the Board of Directors of the Company determines that the failure to take such action is no longer likely to result in a breach of its fiduciary duties to the stockholders of the Company under Applicable Law, and (iii) the Company shall continue to advise Parent after delivery of such notice of the status and material terms of any discussions and negotiations with the Third Party. During the three Business Day period (or two Business Day period, as applicable) prior to its effecting an Adverse Recommendation Change or terminating this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.01(d)(i), the Company shall, and shall cause its financial and legal advisors to, negotiate with Parent in good faith (to the extent Parent seeks to negotiate) regarding any revisions to the terms of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement proposed by Parent. In addition, the Company shall notify Parent promptly (but in no event later than 24 hours) after receipt by the Company (or any of its Representatives) of any Acquisition Proposal, any inquiry that would be reasonably expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal or of any request for information relating to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or for access to the business, properties, assets, books or records of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries by any Third Party that to the knowledge of the Company may be considering making, or has made, an Acquisition Proposal, which notice shall be provided in writing and shall identify the material terms and conditions of, any such Acquisition Proposal, inquiry or request (including any material changes thereto and the identity of the Person making such Acquisition Proposal) and shall be accompanied by a copy of any written Acquisition Proposal and a copy of the relevant Alternative Acquisition Agreement, if applicable, and any other relevant transaction documents with respect to such Acquisition Proposal. The Company shall keep Parent informed (in writing) in all material respects on a timely basis of the status and details (including, within 24 hours after the occurrence of any amendment, modification, development, discussion or negotiation) of any

such Acquisition Proposal, request or inquiry, including furnishing copies of any additional written inquiries, correspondence and draft documentation.

     “Superior Proposal” means any unsolicited bona fide written Acquisition Proposal for at least 66.67% of the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock or all or substantially all of the assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries on terms that the Board of Directors of the Company determines in good faith, after consultation with a financial advisor of nationally recognized reputation and outside legal counsel and taking into account all the terms and conditions of the Acquisition Proposal would result in a transaction (i) that if consummated, is more favorable to Company’s stockholders from a financial point of view than the Merger or, if applicable, any binding proposal by Parent capable of being accepted by the Company to amend the terms of this Agreement taking into account all the terms and conditions of such proposal and this Agreement (including the expected timing and likelihood of consummation, taking into account any governmental and other approval requirements, and including any break-up fees and expense reimbursement provisions), (ii) that is reasonably likely to be completed on the terms proposed, taking into account the identity of the person making the proposal, any approval requirements and all other financial, legal and other aspects of such proposal and (iii) for which financing, if a cash transaction (whether in whole or in part), is then fully committed or reasonably determined to be available by the Board of Directors of the Company.

     (d) The Company agrees that any violation of the restrictions set forth in this Section 6.02 by any Representative of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, whether or not such Person is purporting to act on behalf of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or otherwise, shall be deemed to be a breach of this Agreement by the Company. The materiality of any such breach shall be determined under Applicable Law based on the facts and circumstances of any such breach.

     (e) The Company shall not, and shall cause its Subsidiaries not to, enter into any confidentiality agreement with any Person subsequent to the date of this Agreement that would restrict the Company’s ability to comply with any of the terms of this Section 6.02, and represents that neither it nor any of its Subsidiaries is a party to any such agreement.

     (f) The Company shall not take any action to (i) exempt any Person (other than Parent, Merger Subsidiary and their respective Affiliates) from the restrictions on “business combinations” contained in Section 203 of the Delaware (or any similar provision of any other Applicable Law) or otherwise cause such restrictions not to apply or (ii) amend or waive the Company Rights Agreement, redeem the Company Rights or exempt any Person (other than Parent, Merger Subsidiary and their respective Affiliates) from the Company Rights Agreement, or agree to do any of the foregoing, in each case unless such actions are taken substantially concurrently with a termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.01(d)(i).

   Section 6.03 Access to Information; Confidentiality.

     (a) From the date of this Agreement until the Effective Time and subject to Applicable Law, the Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, upon reasonable notice and request, (i) give to Parent, its counsel, financial advisors, auditors, Financing Sources and other authorized representatives reasonable access during normal business hours to its offices,

properties, books and records, including, but not limited to, for purposes of continuing their due diligence of the Company and without limitation for matters relating to export controls and government contracts, (ii) furnish to Parent and its counsel such financial and operating data and other information as such Persons may reasonably request and a copy of each report, schedule, registration statement and other document filed or received by it during such period pursuant to the requirements of federal or state securities laws and (iii) instruct its employees, counsel, financial advisors, auditors and other authorized representatives to cooperate with Parent in its investigation. Any investigation pursuant to this Section shall be conducted in such manner as not to interfere unreasonably with the conduct of the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries. Nothing contained in this Section shall, prior to the Effective Time, require the Company to take any action that would, in the good faith judgment of the Company, constitute a waiver of the attorney-client or similar privilege or trade secret protection held by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or violate confidentiality obligations owing to third parties; provided, however, that the Company shall make a good faith effort to accommodate any request from Parent for access or information pursuant to this Section in a manner that does not result in such a waiver or violation. All information furnished pursuant to this Section shall be subject to the confidentiality agreement, dated as of November 22, 2010, between Parent and the Company (the “Confidentiality Agreement”).

     (b) The Company shall deliver to Parent monthly consolidated and consolidating financial statements of the Company and its Subsidiaries within 15 calendar days of the end of each fiscal month.

   Section 6.04 Stockholder Action. From the date of this Agreement until the Effective Time, the Company shall not settle or offer to settle any stockholder Action against the Company and/or its directors or executive officers relating to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereunder, without Parent’s prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), and the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to keep Parent informed with respect to status of, and any material developments in, any such Action.

   Section 6.05 FIRPTA Certificate. On or prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide to Parent an affidavit satisfying the requirements of Treasury Regulation Section 1.1445-2(c)(3) in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Parent; it being understood that notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if the Company fails to provide Parent with such certification, the Parent, the Surviving Corporation, or the Paying Agent shall be entitled to withhold the requisite amount from consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement in accordance with Section 1445 of the Code and the applicable Treasury Regulations and Section 2.07 hereof and that any amount so withheld shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of the shares of Company Common Stock in respect of which the Paying Agent, Parent or the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, made such deduction and withholding.

ARTICLE 7

In the event of any such action, Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall cooperate with the Indemnified Person in the defense of any such action.

     (b) Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to continue in full force and effect for a period of six years from the Effective Time the provisions in existence in the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ Organizational Documents in effect on the date of this Agreement regarding elimination of liability of directors, indemnification and exculpation of officers, directors and employees and advancement of expenses.

     (c) For six years after the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to provide officers’ and directors’ liability and similar insurance (collectively, “D&O Insurance”) in respect of acts or omissions occurring prior to the Effective Time covering each Indemnified Person covered as of the date of this Agreement by the Company’s D&O Insurance policies on terms with respect to coverage and amount no less favorable than those of such policy in effect on the date of this Agreement (or a six-year prepaid “tail policy” on terms and conditions reasonably acceptable to Parent providing coverage benefits and terms no less favorable to the Indemnified Persons than the Company’s current such policy; for the avoidance of doubt, the Company may purchase such “tail policy” at its option prior to the Effective Time, and, in such case Parent shall cause such policy to be in full force and effect for its full term, and cause all obligations thereunder to be honored by the Surviving Corporation); provided that, in satisfying its obligation under this Section 7.04(c), the Surviving Corporation shall not be obligated to pay annual premiums in the aggregate in excess of $250,000 and provided further that, if the aggregate annual premiums of such insurance coverage exceed such amount, the Surviving Corporation shall be obligated to obtain a policy with the greatest coverage available, with respect to matters occurring prior to the Effective Time, for a cost not exceeding such amount.

     (d) If Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of its successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or the Surviving Corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger, or (ii) transfers or conveys all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, to the extent necessary, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Parent or the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, shall assume the obligations set forth in this Section 7.04.

     (e) The rights of each Indemnified Person under this Section 7.04 shall be in addition to any rights such Person may have under the Organizational Documents of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or under Delaware Law or any other Applicable Law or under any agreement of any Indemnified Person with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. These rights shall survive consummation of the Merger and are intended to benefit, and shall be enforceable by, each Indemnified Person.

     (a) Subject to Section 2.05, Parent shall make payments in such amounts and to such Company employees as set forth on Section 7.05(a) of the Company Disclosure Schedule pursuant to the Company’s 2004 LTIP at the time such payments would be paid under such plan in accordance with its terms. Parent shall make payments to Company employees eligible to participate in the Company’s 2011 annual incentive plan as of the date of this Agreement at the ordinary time such payments would otherwise be paid under such plan in accordance with its

terms, provided that all such payments shall be based on the amounts accrued as expense relating to such bonus plan on the Company’s financial statements, but in no event shall such amount exceed $3,900,000.

     (b) With respect to any employee benefit plan maintained by Parent or its Affiliates in which any Current Employee first becomes eligible to participate, on or after the Effective Time (the “Parent Plans”), Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) during the period commencing on the Effective Date and ending on December 31, 2011 waive all pre-existing conditions, exclusions and waiting periods with respect to participation and coverage requirements applicable to such Current Employee under any health and welfare Parent Plans in which such Current Employee may be eligible to participate after the Effective Time; and (ii) credit Current Employees with service for time worked for the Company or its Subsidiaries prior to the Effective Time for purposes of eligibility to participate in and vesting credit under (but not for the purposes of benefit accrual under) any such Parent Plan to the extent permitted under the terms of such Parent Plan, provided, however, that in no event shall any credit be given to the extent it would result in the duplication of benefits for the same period of service.

If at any time prior to obtaining the Company Stockholder Approval, any information relating to the Merger, the Company, Parent, Merger Subsidiary or any of their respective Affiliates, directors or officers should be discovered by the Company or Parent that should be set forth in an amendment or supplement to the Company Proxy Statement so that such document would not contain 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 that discovers such information shall promptly notify the other parties hereto and the Company shall promptly file with the SEC an appropriate amendment or supplement describing such information and, to the extent required by Applicable Law, disseminate such amendment or supplement to the stockholders of the Company.

Except in the case of an Adverse Recommendation Change specifically permitted by Section 6.02(b), the Board of Directors of the Company shall (i) recommend approval and adoption of this Agreement and the Merger by the Company’s stockholders, (ii) include such recommendation in the Company Proxy Statement and (iii) publicly reaffirm such recommendation to its stockholders at least two (2) Business Days prior to the Company Stockholder Meeting after a request to do so by Parent or Merger Subsidiary; provided, however, if the Company receives an Acquisition Proposal and Parent requests that the Company reaffirm its recommendation less than seven (7) Business Days prior to the Company Stockholder Meeting, the Company shall have the right to postpone the Company Stockholder Meeting to the seventh (7^th) Business Day from the date of Parent’s request to reaffirm its recommendation. An Adverse Recommendation Change made in compliance with Section 6.02(b) will not constitute a breach by the Company of this Agreement. In connection with such meeting, the Company shall (i) use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the Company Stockholder Approval and (ii) otherwise comply in all material respects with all legal requirements applicable to such meeting.

   Section 8.02 Reasonable Best Efforts.

     (b) In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, each of Parent and the Company shall make an appropriate filing of a Notification and Report Form pursuant to the HSR Act with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby and all other filings required (1) under any applicable non-US antitrust or competition laws (together with the HSR Filings, the “Antitrust Filings”) and (2) under any other applicable competition, merger control, antitrust or similar law that the Company and Parent deem advisable or appropriate with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby as promptly as practicable and in any event within fifteen (15)

Business Days of the date of this Agreement and to supply as promptly as practicable any additional information and documentary material that may be requested pursuant to the HSR Act and to use their reasonable best efforts to take all other actions necessary to cause the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting periods under the HSR Act as soon as practicable. In addition, Parent shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to take or cause to be taken all actions necessary, proper or advisable to obtain any consent, waiver, approval or authorizations relating to the HSR Act or similar non-US laws that are required for the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, which efforts shall include, without limitation, the proffer by Parent of its willingness to accept an order providing for the divestiture by Parent of such of its assets and businesses as are necessary to fully consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and an offer to hold separate such assets and businesses pending such divestiture. In the event that the FTC or the DOJ or any other Governmental Authority or arbitrator requires the divestiture or the holding separate by Parent of any assets, no adjustment shall be made to the Merger Consideration and Parent shall be required to hold such assets separate, or to divest them, as the case may be, following the Closing.

Neither Parent nor the Company shall agree to participate in any meeting with any Governmental Authority or arbitrator in respect of any such filings, investigation or other inquiry unless it consults with the other party in advance and, to the extent permitted by such Governmental Authority or arbitrator, gives the other party the opportunity to attend and participate at such meeting.

   Section 8.04 Public Announcements. Except with respect to the announcement of any Adverse Recommendation Change (or proposed Adverse Recommendation Change), Parent and the Company shall consult with each other before issuing any press release, making any other public statement or scheduling any press conference or conference call with investors or analysts with respect to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby and, except as may be required by Applicable Law or any listing agreement with or rule of any national securities exchange or association, shall not issue any such press release, make any such other public statement or schedule any such press conference or conference call before such consultation.

   Section 8.07 Notice of Certain Events. Each of the Company and Parent shall promptly notify the other of:

     (a) any notice or other communication from any Governmental Authority or arbitrator in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement;

     (b) any inaccuracy of any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement at any time during the term of this Agreement that could reasonably be expected to give rise to a risk of termination set forth in Section 10.01(c)(ii) or Section 10.01(d)(ii), as the case may be; and

     (c) any failure of that party to comply with or satisfy any covenant, condition or agreement to be complied with or satisfied by it hereunder that could reasonably be expected to give rise to a right of termination set forth in Section 10.01(c)(ii) or Section 10.01(d)(ii), as the case may be;

provided, however, that the delivery of any notice pursuant to this Section 8.07 shall not limit or otherwise affect the remedies available hereunder to the party receiving that notice.

   Section 8.09 Financing.

     (a) Parent and Merger Subsidiary shall use their reasonable best efforts to arrange the Financing on the terms and conditions described in the Commitment Letter or on other terms that would not adversely impact the ability of Parent or Merger Subsidiary to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, including using reasonable best efforts (taking into account

the anticipated timing of the Marketing Period) to (i) negotiate and enter into definitive agreements with respect thereto on the terms and conditions contained therein (including any “market flex” provisions) or on other terms reasonably acceptable to Parent and not in violation of this Section 8.09, (ii) satisfy on a timely basis all conditions and covenants applicable to Parent in the Commitment Letter that are within its control and otherwise comply with its obligations thereunder, (iii) maintain in effect the Commitment Letter until the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are consummated, (iv) enforce its rights under the Commitment Letter, and (v) subject to the terms and conditions contemplated by the Commitment Letter, consummate the Financing at the Closing. Parent shall have the right from time to time to amend, replace, supplement or otherwise modify, or waive any of its rights under, the Commitment Letter, and/or substitute other debt financing for all or any portion of the Financing from the same and/or alternative Financing Sources, including without limitation to add lenders, lead arrangers, bookrunners, syndication agents or similar entities who had not executed the Financing Commitment as of the date of this Agreement; provided, that any such amendment, replacement, supplement or other modification to or waiver of any provision of the Commitment Letter that amends the Financing and/or substitution of all or any portion of the Financing shall not (i) impose any additional conditions precedent or expand upon the conditions precedent to the Financing as set forth in the Commitment Letter, (ii) adversely impact the ability of Parent or Merger Subsidiary to enforce its rights against the other parties to the Commitment Letter or (iii) prevent or impede or delay the consummation of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Parent shall be permitted to reduce the amount of Financing under the Commitment Letter in its reasonable discretion; provided, that Parent shall not reduce the Financing to an amount committed below the amount that is required, together with other financial resources of Parent and Merger Subsidiary including cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of Parent, Merger Subsidiary, the Company and the Company’s Subsidiaries on the Closing Date, to consummate the Merger on the terms contemplated by this Agreement; and provided further, that such reduction shall not (i) impose any additional conditions precedent or expand upon the conditions precedent to the Financing as set forth in the Commitment Letter, (ii) adversely impact the ability of Parent or Merger Subsidiary to enforce its rights against the other parties to the Commitment Letter or (iii) prevent or impede or delay the consummation of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the syndication of the Financing to the extent permitted by the Commitment Letter shall not be deemed to violate Parent’s obligations under this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Parent and Merger Sub shall give the Company prompt notice: (A) of any material breach or material default (or any event or circumstance that, with or without notice, lapse of time or both, would reasonably be expected to give rise to any material breach or material default) by any party to any Commitment Letter or definitive document related to the Financing of which Parent or its Affiliates becomes aware; (B) of the receipt of any written notice or other written communication from any Person with respect to any: (x) actual or potential material breach, material default, termination or repudiation by any party to any Commitment Letter or any definitive document related to the Financing or any provisions of the Commitment Letter or any definitive document related to the Financing or (y) material dispute or disagreement between or among any parties to any Commitment Letter or any definitive document related to the Financing (but excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any ordinary course negotiations with respect to the terms of the Financing or any definitive agreement with respect thereto); and (C) if for any reason Parent or Merger Sub believes in good

faith that it will not be able to obtain all or any portion of the Financing on the terms, in the manner or from the sources contemplated by the Commitment Letter or the definitive documents related to the Financing; provided, that in no event will Parent or Merger Subsidiary be under any obligation to disclose any information that is reasonably believed to be subject to attorney-client or similar privilege or that is requested for purposes of litigation. As soon as reasonably practicable, but in any event within three (3) Business Days after the date the Company delivers Parent or Merger Sub a written request, Parent and Merger Subsidiary shall provide any information reasonably requested by the Company relating to any circumstance referred to in clause (A), (B) or (C) of the immediately preceding sentence, and subject to the proviso of the immediately preceding sentence. In the event any portion of the Financing becomes unavailable on the terms and conditions contemplated in the Commitment Letter (including any “market flex” provisions), Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts to arrange to obtain alternative financing from alternative sources on terms and conditions not materially less favorable to Parent and Merger Subsidiary in an amount sufficient to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (any such alternative financing, any amended or substitute financing permitted by this Section 8.09(a), and the Financing, an “Available Financing”). In the event that on the final day of the Marketing Period (i) all or any portion of the Financing structured as High Yield Financing has not been consummated, (ii) all closing conditions contained in Article 9 shall have been satisfied or waived (other than those conditions that by their nature will not be satisfied until the Closing) and (iii) all conditions to the Bridge Financing set forth in the Commitment Letter have been satisfied, then Parent shall borrow under and use the proceeds of the Bridge Financing (or such alternative bridge financing) to replace such affected portion of the High Yield Financing on the Closing Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else set forth herein, the Company hereby acknowledges that it shall have no claims (contractual or otherwise) against any Financing Source relating to the Merger or the Financing.

     For purposes of this Agreement, “Financing Sources“ means the entities that have committed to provide or otherwise entered into agreements in connection with the Financing or any other Available Financing, including the parties to the Commitment Letter and any joinder agreements or definitive agreements relating thereto.

     For purposes of this Agreement, “Marketing Period“ shall mean the period of 35 consecutive calendar days commencing on the later of the date that both (i) Parent shall have received the Required Information and (ii) the Company has mailed to its stockholders the Company Proxy Statement; provided, that to the extent Parent receives the Required Information prior to the date that the Company Proxy Statement is mailed to the Company’s stockholders, such 35 day period shall be reduced, but not by more than ten days, by the number of days in advance of such mailing date that the Required Information is delivered to Parent and provided, further, that (A)(1) throughout and at the end of such 35 day period such Required Information shall at all times remain compliant with applicable provisions of Regulation S-X and Regulation S-K under the 1933 Act, (2) throughout and at the end of such 35 day period nothing has occurred and no condition exists that would cause any of the conditions set forth in Section 9.02 to fail to be satisfied assuming the Closing were to be scheduled for any time during such 35 consecutive calendar day period and (3) at the end of such 35 day period the conditions set forth in Section 9.01 shall be satisfied; provided, that such 35 consecutive calendar day period must (x) end on or prior to June 30, 2011, (y) begin on or after July 5, 2011 and end on or prior to August 19, 2011 or (z) begin on or after September 3, 2011; provided, further that if the

Company has mailed to its stockholders the Company Proxy Statement on or prior to June 21, 2011 and the Required Information is delivered by June 18, 2011, the Marketing Period will be reduced to 15 consecutive Business Days solely for the period beginning on July 5, 2011 and ending on July 25, 2011, (B) the Marketing Period shall end on any earlier date that is the date on which the Financing, including the High-Yield Financing (other than any portion of the Financing that constituted Bridge Financing with respect to such High-Yield Financing) is consummated and (C) the Marketing Period shall not be deemed to have commenced if after the date hereof and prior to the completion of the Marketing Period:

     (1) the Company’s outside auditor shall have withdrawn its audit opinion with respect to any financial statements contained in the Company’s most recently filed Annual Report on Form 10-K (including, if applicable, the Company 10-K) contained in the Required Information, in which case the Marketing Period shall not be deemed to commence unless and until, at the earliest, a new unqualified audit opinion is issued with respect to the consolidated financial statements of the Company for the applicable periods by the Company’s outside auditor or another independent public accounting firm;

     (2) the Company issues a public statement indicating that it is restating, or intends to restate, any historical financial statements of the Company included in the Company SEC Documents or that any such restatement is under consideration or may be a possibility, in which case the Marketing Period shall not be deemed to commence unless and until such restatement has been completed and the relevant Company SEC Document or SEC Documents has or have been amended or the Company has announced that it has concluded that no restatement shall be required in accordance with applicable law; or

     (3) the Company shall have been delinquent in filing any Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or Annual Report on Form 10-K, in which case the Marketing Period will not be deemed to commence unless and until any such delinquency has been cured.

     (b) Prior to the Closing, the Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries, and its and their respective Representatives (except for those Representatives which are not employees of Company or any of its Subsidiaries, including any outside legal and accounting Representatives, in which case the Company and its Subsidiaries shall use reasonable best efforts to cause such Representatives) to provide to Parent, Merger Subsidiary and the Financing Sources all cooperation reasonably requested by Parent and/or the Financing Sources that is necessary, proper or advisable in connection with any Available Financing and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including, without limitation (i) participating in a reasonable number of meetings (including customary one-on-one meetings with the parties acting as lead arrangers or agents for, and prospective lenders and purchasers of, any Available Financing), presentations, road shows, due diligence sessions, drafting sessions and sessions with rating agencies, and cooperating with the marketing efforts of Parent, Merger Subsidiary and the Financing Sources, in each case in connection with any Available Financing, (ii) assisting in the preparation of (y) any offering documents, private placement memoranda, bank information memoranda, prospectuses and similar documents required in connection with any Available Financing, including the syndication thereof; provided that any such assistance shall include execution and delivery of customary representation letters in connection with bank information memoranda, and (z) materials for rating agency presentations, (iii) as promptly as practical,

     (iii) if the Company Stockholder Approval shall not have been obtained at the Company Stockholders Meeting duly convened therefore or at any adjournment or postponement thereof at which a vote on the adoption of this Agreement was taken.

All such notices, requests and other communications shall be deemed received on the date of receipt by the recipient thereof if received prior to 5:00 p.m. on a Business Day in the place of receipt. Otherwise, any such notice, request or communication shall be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day in the place of receipt.

   Section 11.02 Non-Survival of Representations and Warranties. The representations and warranties contained herein and in any certificate or other writing delivered pursuant hereto shall not survive the Effective Time, or except as otherwise provided in Section 10.02, upon termination of this Agreement.

   Section 11.03 Amendments and Waivers.

     (a) Any provision of this Agreement may be amended or waived prior to the Effective Time if, but only if, such amendment or waiver is in writing and is signed, in the case of an amendment, by each party to this Agreement or, in the case of a waiver, by each party against whom the waiver is to be effective; provided that, after the Company Stockholder Approval there shall be no amendment or waiver that pursuant to Delaware Law requires further Company Stockholder Approval without their further approval.

     (b) No failure or delay by any party in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies herein provided shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by Applicable Law.

   Section 11.04 Expenses.

     (a) Except as otherwise provided herein, all costs and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement shall be paid by the party incurring such cost or expense; provided, however, the filing fees of the Notification and Report Forms filed under the HSR Act

and any premerger notification and reports filed under similar applicable antitrust law of any non United States Governmental Authority shall be shared equally by Parent and the Company.

     (b) If a Company Payment Event (as hereinafter defined) occurs, the Company shall pay Parent (by wire transfer of immediately available funds) a fee equal to $12,410,000 (the “Company Termination Fee”), less the amount of Parent Expenses previously paid to Parent (if any) pursuant to this Section 11.04(b), it being understood that in no event shall the Company be required to pay the Company Termination Fee on more than one occasion. If, the Company Payment Event is pursuant to clause (x) of the definition thereof, the Company Termination Fee shall be paid simultaneously with the occurrence of such Company Payment Event (and as a condition to the effectiveness of the termination giving rise to such Company Payment Event) or, if the Company Payment Event is pursuant to clauses (y) or (z) of the definition thereof, the Company Termination Fee shall be paid within two Business Days following the consummation of an Acquisition Proposal. In the event that this Agreement is terminated by the Company or Parent pursuant to Section 10.01(b)(iii) under circumstances in which the Company Termination Fee is not then payable pursuant to this Section 11.04(b), then the Company shall reimburse Parent and its Affiliates for all of their reasonable out-of-pocket fees and expenses (including all fees and expenses of its Financing Sources, counsel, accountants, investment bankers, experts and consultants to Parent and Merger Sub and their Affiliates) incurred by Parent or Merger Subsidiary or on their behalf in connection with or related to the authorization, preparation, investigation, negotiation, execution and performance of this Agreement, the Financing and the other transactions contemplated hereby (the “Parent Expenses”), up to a maximum amount of $5,000,000; provided, that the payment by the Company of the Parent Expenses pursuant to this Section 11.04(b), (i) shall not relieve the Company of any subsequent obligation to pay the Company Termination Fee pursuant to this Section 11.04(b) and (ii) shall not relieve the Company from any liability or damage resulting from an intentional and material breach prior to such termination of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements set forth in this Agreement.

     “Company Payment Event” means the termination of this Agreement pursuant to (x) Section 10.01(c)(i) or Section 10.01(d)(i), (y) Section 10.01(b)(i) or (b)(iii) or (z) Section 10.01(c)(ii) under circumstances in which such breach or failure to perform was intentional and material, but only if in the case of clauses (y) and (z) (A) prior to such termination, an Acquisition Proposal shall have been made to the Company or shall have otherwise been publicly disclosed or proposed by a Third Party, and (B) within eighteen (18) months following the date of such termination the Company enters into a definitive Agreement with respect to a transaction described in the definition of “Acquisition Proposal” or recommends or submits an Acquisition Proposal to its stockholders, or a transaction in respect of an Acquisition Proposal is consummated, which, in each case, need not be the same Acquisition Proposal that shall have been made, publicly disclosed or communicated prior to termination hereof (provided, that for purposes of this definition only, all references to 20% in the definition of “Acquisition Proposal” shall be deemed instead to be “50%”).

     (c) Each of the parties acknowledges that the agreements contained in this Section 11.04 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and that, without these agreements, the other parties would not enter into this Agreement; accordingly, if any party fails promptly to pay any amounts due pursuant to this Section 11.04, and, in order to obtain such

payment, the owed party commences a suit that results in a judgment against the owing party for the amounts set forth in this Section 11.04, the owing party shall pay to the owed party its costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and expenses) in connection with such suit, together with interest on the amounts due pursuant to this Section 11.04 from the date such payment was required to be made until the date of payment at the prime lending rate as published in The Wall Street Journal in effect on the date such payment was required to be made. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, each of Parent and Merger Subsidiary acknowledges and agrees on behalf of itself and its Affiliates that (i) the Company Termination Fee is not a penalty, but rather is liquidated damages in a reasonable amount that will compensate Parent and Merger Subsidiary in the circumstances in which the Company Termination Fee is payable for the efforts and resources expended and opportunity forgone while negotiating this Agreement and in reliance on this Agreement and on the expectation of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, which amount would otherwise be impossible to calculate with precision, and (ii) in the event that the Company Termination Fee becomes payable and is paid by the Company pursuant to this Section 11.04, the right to receive the Company Termination Fee shall constitute each of Parent’s and Merger Subsidiary’s and each of their Affiliates’ and representatives’ sole and exclusive remedy.

   Section 11.05 Disclosure Schedule References. If and to the extent any information required to be furnished in any Section of the Company Disclosure Schedule is contained in this Agreement or in any other Section of the Company Disclosure Schedule, such information shall be deemed to be included in all other Sections of the Company Disclosure Schedule in which the information would otherwise be required to be included to the extent the relevance of such disclosure to such Sections is readily apparent on its face. Disclosure of any fact or item in any Section of the Company Disclosure Schedules shall not be considered an admission by the disclosing party that such item or fact (or any non-disclosed item or information of comparable or greater significance) represents a material exception or fact, event or circumstance or that such item has had or would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on the Company or Parent, as the case may be, or that such item or fact will in fact exceed any applicable threshold limitation set forth in the Agreement and shall not be construed as an admission by the disclosing party of any non-compliance with, or violation of, any third party rights (including but not limited to any intellectual property rights) or any Applicable Law of any Governmental Authority, such disclosures having been made solely for the purposes of creating exceptions to the representations made herein or of disclosing any information required to be disclosed under the Agreement.

   Section 11.06 Binding Effect; Benefit; Assignment.

     (a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and, except as provided in Section 7.04 shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. (i) Except as provided in Section 7.04 and Section 7.05 and (ii) to the extent the Effective Time occurs, except for the rights of the holders of Company Common Stock, Company Restricted Shares, Company Stock Options and Performance Units under Article 2 of this Agreement to receive payment therefor, no provision of this Agreement is intended to confer any rights, benefits, remedies, obligations or liabilities hereunder upon any Person other than the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties hereto agree that any Financing Source shall be an intended third party beneficiary of (i)

the last sentence of the first paragraph of Section 8.09(a), (ii) Section 11.08 and (iii) Section 11.09.

     (b) No party may assign, delegate or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of each other party hereto.

   Section 11.07 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to the conflicts of law rules of such state.

   Section 11.08 Jurisdiction. The parties hereto agree that any suit, action or proceeding seeking to enforce any provision of, or based on any matter arising out of or in connection with, this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby shall be brought in the Delaware Court of Chancery or, if such court shall not have jurisdiction, any federal court sitting in Delaware, so long as one of such courts shall have subject matter jurisdiction over such suit, action or proceeding, and that any cause of action arising out of this Agreement shall be deemed to have arisen from a transaction of business in the State of Delaware, and each of the parties hereby irrevocably consents to the jurisdiction of such courts (and of the appropriate appellate courts therefrom) in any such suit, action or proceeding and irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such suit, action or proceeding in any such court or that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Process in any such suit, action or proceeding may be served on any party anywhere in the world, whether within or without the jurisdiction of any such court. Without limiting the foregoing, each party agrees that service of process on such party as provided in Section 11.01 shall be deemed effective service of process on such party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each of the parties hereto agrees that it will not bring or support any action, cause of action, claim, cross-claim or third-party claim of any kind or description, whether in law or in equity, whether in contract or in tort or otherwise, against the Financing Sources in any way relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including but not limited to any dispute arising out of or relating in any way to the Commitment Letter or the performance thereof, in any forum other than the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York, or, if under applicable law exclusive jurisdiction is vested in the federal courts, the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (and appellate courts thereof).

   Section 11.09 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

   Section 11.10 Counterparts; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be signed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument. Delivery of a signed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or by PDF file (portable document format file) shall be as effective as delivery of a manually signed counterpart of this Agreement. This Agreement shall become effective when each party hereto shall have received a counterpart hereof signed by all of the other parties hereto. Until and unless each party has received a

counterpart hereof signed by the other party hereto, this Agreement shall have no effect and no party shall have any right or obligation hereunder (whether by virtue of any other oral or written agreement or other communication).

   Section 11.11 Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the Confidentiality Agreement constitute the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter thereof and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, both oral and written, between the parties with respect to the subject matter thereof.

   Section 11.12 Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction or other Governmental Authority or arbitrator to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party. Upon such a determination, the parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.

   Section 11.13 Specific Performance. The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur if any provision of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with the terms hereof and that the parties shall be entitled, without posting a bond or similar indemnity, to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement or to enforce specifically the performance of the terms and provisions hereof in any federal court located in the State of Delaware or any Delaware state court, in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. The parties acknowledge and agree that damages of a party shall not be limited to reimbursement of expenses or out-of-pocket costs, and may include to the extent proven the benefit of the bargain lost by a party and its stockholders (taking into consideration relevant matters, including lost stockholder premium, other combination opportunities and the time value of money), which shall be deemed in such event to be damages of such party.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be duly executed by their respective authorized officers as of the day and year first above written.
