THE OFFER

2.1 The Offer. (a) (i) Parent shall cause Merger Sub to, and Merger Sub shall, amend the Pending Offer and related Offer Documents to reflect the execution of this Agreement and the terms hereof as promptly as reasonably practicable after the date of this Agreement (but in no event later than the seventh Business Day following the date of this Agreement). The date on which Merger Sub amends the Pending Offer is referred to in this Agreement as the “Offer Amendment Date.” The obligations of Merger Sub (and of Parent to cause Merger Sub) to accept for payment and to pay for any Company Shares tendered pursuant to the Offer shall be subject only to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the satisfaction or waiver of those conditions set forth in Exhibit A (the “Offer Conditions”). Each Company Share accepted by Merger Sub in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer shall be purchased pursuant to the Offer in exchange for the right to receive, at the election of the holder thereof, (i) $10.00, net to the holder of such Company Share in cash (the “Cash Price Per Share”), or (ii) 0.3148 of a share of Parent Common Stock (the “Stock Price Per Share”), subject to proration as set forth in Section 2.2. Unless extended in accordance with Section 2.1(a)(iii) or 2.1(a)(iv), the Offer shall expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on October 31, 2011 (the “Initial Expiration Date”) or, if the Offer has been extended in accordance with Section 2.1(a)(iii) or 2.1(a)(iv), at the time and date to which the Offer has been so extended (the Initial Expiration Date, or such later time and date to which the Offer has been extended in accordance with Section 2.1(a)(iii) or 2.1(a)(iv), the “Expiration Date”). Merger Sub expressly reserves the right (but shall not be obligated) at any time or from time to time in its sole discretion to waive any Offer Condition or modify or amend the terms of the Offer, except that, without the prior written consent of the Company, (A) the Minimum Tender Condition may not be amended or waived and (B) no change may be made to the Offer that (1) decreases the Offer Price or changes

the form of consideration, (2) decreases the number of Company Shares to be purchased by Merger Sub in the Offer, (3) modifies the Offer or the Offer Conditions in a manner that adversely affects or reasonably could adversely affect the holders of Company Shares, (4) adds to the conditions set forth on Exhibit A, or (5) extends the Expiration Date of the Offer except as required or permitted by Sections 2.1(a)(iii) and 2.1(a)(iv).

(ii) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and to the satisfaction or waiver (to the extent permitted hereunder) by Merger Sub of the Offer Conditions as of any scheduled Expiration Date, Merger Sub shall, and Parent shall cause Merger Sub to, accept for payment and pay for Company Shares validly tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to the Offer promptly after such scheduled Expiration Date (the date and time of acceptance for payment, the “Acceptance Time”).

(iii) Merger Sub shall extend the Offer from time to time, including as follows:

(A) Merger Sub shall extend the Offer for one or more periods of not more than 20 Business Days each if at any otherwise scheduled Expiration Date any of the Offer Conditions is not satisfied, and

(B) Merger Sub shall extend the Offer for any period required by any rule, regulation, interpretation or position of the SEC or the staff thereof or the Nasdaq applicable to the Offer;

provided, however, that in no circumstances shall Merger Sub be required to extend the Offer beyond the Termination Date nor may Merger Sub extend the Offer if at the time of such extension all Offer Conditions have been satisfied (other than pursuant to Section 2.1(a)(iv)).

(iv) Subject to Section 2.1(a)(i), Merger Sub may, in its sole discretion, provide for one “subsequent offering period” (and one or more extensions thereof) in accordance with Rule 14d-11 under the Exchange Act (a “Subsequent Offering Period”), and Merger Sub shall, and Parent shall cause Merger Sub to, immediately accept and promptly pay for all Shares as they are validly tendered during any Subsequent Offering Period for the Offer in accordance with Rule 14d-11 under the Exchange Act at a price per Company Share equal to the Proration Amount of Cash and Stock Consideration. The Offer Documents shall provide for the possibility of a Subsequent Offering Period in a manner consistent with this Section 2.1(a)(iv). Following the Acceptance Time and the expiration of any Subsequent Offering Period, if applicable, Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Merger to become effective as promptly as practicable.

(b) On the Offer Amendment Date, Parent and Merger Sub shall file, or cause to be filed, with the SEC an amendment to Parent and Merger Sub’s Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO (collectively with all amendments and supplements thereto, the “Schedule TO”) and Registration Statement with respect to the Offer that shall contain the offer to purchase and related letter of transmittal and other ancillary Offer documents and instruments pursuant to which the Offer shall be made (collectively with any supplements or amendments thereto, the “Offer Documents”). The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause its independent public accountants to provide their consent to the use of the Company’s audited financial

statements in the Offer Documents. The Company and its counsel shall be given a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on the Offer Documents prior to their filing with the SEC and Parent and Merger Sub shall give due consideration to all reasonable additions, deletions or changes suggested thereto by the Company and its counsel. Parent and Merger Sub agree to (i) provide the Company and its counsel with a copy of any written comments (or a description of any oral comments) received by Parent, Merger Sub or their counsel from the SEC or its staff with respect to the Offer Documents promptly after receipt of such comments, (ii) consult with the Company (and give the Company reasonable opportunity to review) regarding any such comments prior to responding thereto, and Parent and Merger Sub shall give due consideration to all reasonable additions, deletions or changes suggested thereto by the Company and its counsel, and (iii) provide the Company with copies of any written comments or responses thereto. Parent and Merger Sub shall respond promptly to any comments of the SEC or its staff with respect to the Offer Documents. Parent and Merger Sub agree to take all steps necessary to cause the Offer Documents to be disseminated to holders of Company Shares to the extent required by applicable federal securities Laws. Each of Parent, Merger Sub and the Company agrees to promptly correct any information provided by it for use in the Offer Documents if and to the extent that it has become false or misleading in any material respect. Parent and Merger Sub further agree to take all steps necessary to cause the Offer Documents as so corrected to be filed with the SEC and disseminated to holders of Company Shares, in each case as and to the extent required by applicable federal securities Laws.

(c) Subject to Section 2.2, in the Offer each holder of Company Shares shall be entitled to elect (i) the number of Company Shares which such holder desires to exchange for the right to receive the Cash Price Per Share (a “Cash Election”) and (ii) the number of Company Shares which such holder desires to exchange for the right to receive the Stock Price Per Share (a “Parent Share Election”). Any Cash Election or Parent Share Election shall be referred to herein as an “Election,” and shall be made on a form consistent with that included in the Pending Offer or as agreed by Merger Sub and the Company for that purpose (a “Form of Election”) included as part of the letter of transmittal included in the Offer Documents (the “LT”). Holders of record who hold Company Shares as nominees, trustees or in other representative capacities may submit multiple Forms of Election on behalf of their respective beneficial holders, but only one such Form of Election for each such beneficial holder.

(d) Parent shall provide or cause to be provided to Merger Sub on a timely basis the funds and shares of Parent Common Stock necessary to purchase any Company Shares that Merger Sub becomes obligated to purchase pursuant to the Offer.

(e) Merger Sub shall not terminate the Offer without the prior written consent of the Company, except if this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Article IX. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Article IX, Merger Sub shall, and Parent shall cause Merger Sub to, promptly (and in any event within 24 hours of such termination) terminate the Offer and not acquire any Company Shares pursuant thereto. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Article IX prior to the acquisition of Company Shares in the Offer, Merger Sub shall promptly return, and shall cause any depositary acting on behalf of Merger Sub to return promptly, in accordance with applicable Law, all tendered Company Shares to the registered holders thereof.

(f) The Offer Price shall be adjusted to reflect appropriately the effect of any forward or reverse stock split, stock dividend (including any dividend or distribution of securities exercisable or exchangeable for or convertible into Parent Common Stock or Company Shares), stock sale, reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, combination, exchange of shares or other like change with respect to shares of Parent Common Stock or Company Shares occurring on or after the date of this Agreement and prior to the payment by Merger Sub for Company Shares validly tendered and not properly withdrawn in connection with the Offer.

(g) No fraction of a share of Parent Common Stock shall be issued to represent any fractional share interests in Parent Common Stock to be delivered hereunder in exchange for Company Shares, but in lieu thereof each holder of Company Shares who would otherwise be entitled to a fraction of a share of Parent Common Stock (after aggregating all fractional shares of Parent Common Stock that otherwise would be received by such holder) shall, upon surrender by such holder of each Certificate held thereby, receive from Parent an amount of cash (rounded to the nearest whole cent), without interest, equal to the product of (i) such fraction, multiplied by (ii) the Average Per Share Price (substituting the Acceptance Time for the Effective Time in the definition thereof). The parties hereto acknowledge that payment of the cash consideration in lieu of issuing fractional shares is not separately bargained for consideration, but merely represents a mechanical rounding off for purposes of simplifying the corporate and accounting complexities that would otherwise be caused by the issuance of fractional shares.

2.2 Proration of Offer Consideration. (a) Each Company Share with respect to which a Cash Election has been effectively made and not revoked, and that is not deemed converted into the right to receive the Stock Price Per Share pursuant to Section 2.2(b) (each a “Cash Election Share”), shall have the right to receive the Cash Price Per Share. Each Company Share with respect to which a Parent Share Election has been effectively made and not revoked, and that is not deemed converted into the right to receive the Cash Price Per Share pursuant to Section 2.2(c) (a “Parent Share Election Share”), shall have the right to receive the Stock Price Per Share. The number of Company Shares to be converted into the right to receive the Stock Price Per Share shall equal 33.8% of the Company Shares validly tendered in the Offer and not withdrawn (the “Share Election Number”). If the aggregate number of Parent Share Election Shares is equal to the Share Election Number, then each such Parent Share Election Share shall be converted into the Stock Price Per Share.

(b) If the aggregate number of Parent Share Election Shares is less than the Share Election Number, then:

(i) each Parent Share Election Share shall be exchanged for the Stock Price Per Share;

(ii) a stock proration factor (the “Stock Proration Factor”) shall be determined by dividing (A) the excess of the Share Election Number over the total number of Parent Share Election Shares by (B) the total number of Cash Election Shares;

(iii) a number of Cash Election Shares of each Company stockholder equal to the product of (A) the Stock Proration Factor and (B) the total number of Cash

Election Shares of such Company stockholder (rounded up to the nearest whole number), shall be exchanged for the Stock Price Per Share (and a Parent Share Election shall be deemed to have been made with respect to such Shares); and

(iv) each Cash Election Share as to which a Parent Share Election is not deemed made pursuant to Section 2.2(b)(iii) shall be exchanged for the Cash Price Per Share.

(i) each Cash Election Share shall be exchanged for the Cash Price Per Share;

(ii) a cash proration factor (the “Cash Proration Factor”) shall be determined by dividing (A) the excess of the Parent Share Election Shares over the Share Election Number by (B) the total number of Parent Share Election Shares;

(iii) a number of Parent Share Election Shares of each Company stockholder equal to the product of (A) the Cash Proration Factor and (B) the total number of Parent Share Election Shares of such Company stockholder (rounded up to the nearest whole number), shall be exchanged for the Cash Price Per Share (and a Cash Election shall be deemed to have been made with respect to such Shares); and

(iv) each Parent Share Election Share as to which a Cash Election is not deemed made pursuant to Section 2.2(c)(iii) shall be exchanged for the Stock Price Per Share.

2.3 Election Procedures; Allocation of Offer Consideration. (a) The Form of Election, the LT and other appropriate and customary transmittal materials (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon proper delivery of such Certificates to the Exchange Agent or, in the case of Company Shares represented by Book-Entry Shares, upon adherence to the procedures set forth therein) and pursuant to which each holder of Company Shares may make an Election, shall be mailed as part of the LT included in the Offer Documents.

(b) Parent shall make available one or more Forms of Election as may reasonably be requested from time to time by all Persons who become holders (or beneficial owners) of Company Shares prior to the Election Deadline, and the Company shall provide to the Exchange Agent all information reasonably necessary for it to perform its duties as specified herein.

(c) Any Election shall be deemed to have been properly made only if the Exchange Agent has actually received a properly completed Form of Election by the Election Deadline. A Form of Election shall be deemed properly completed only if accompanied by (i) one or more Certificates (or customary affidavits and indemnification regarding the loss or destruction of such Certificates or the guaranteed delivery of such Certificates) representing all certificated Company Shares covered by such Form of Election or (ii) in the case of Book-Entry

Shares, any additional documents specified by the procedures set forth in the Form of Election, together with a duly executed LT included in the Form of Election. Any Form of Election may be revoked or changed by the Person submitting such Form of Election prior to the Election Deadline. In the event any Form of Election is revoked prior to the Election Deadline, the Company Shares represented by such Form of Election shall become Non-Election Shares and Parent shall cause the Certificates, if any, representing the Company Shares to be promptly returned without charge to the Person submitting the Form of Election upon written request to that effect from the holder who submitted the Form of Election, except to the extent (if any) a subsequent election is properly made with respect to any or all of the applicable Company Shares. Subject to the terms of this Agreement and of the Form of Election, the Exchange Agent shall have reasonable discretion to determine whether any election, revocation or change has been properly or timely made and to disregard immaterial defects in the Forms of Election, and any good faith decisions of the Exchange Agent regarding such matters shall be binding and conclusive. None of Parent, Merger Sub or the Exchange Agent shall be under any obligation to notify any Person of any defect in a Form of Election.

2.4 Company Consent; Schedule 14D-9. Contemporaneously with the filing of the amendment to Schedule TO, the Company shall file with the SEC an amendment to its Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9 (together with all amendments and supplements thereto, including amendments pursuant to this Section 2.4, the “Schedule 14D-9”) containing, subject to Section 4.3(b), the Company Recommendation. The Company hereby consents to the inclusion of the Company Recommendation in the Offer Documents and to the inclusion of a copy of the Schedule 14D-9 with the Offer Documents mailed or furnished to the holders of Company Shares. Except with respect to any amendments filed in connection with a Company Acquisition Proposal or a Company Change of Recommendation, Parent and Merger Sub, and their respective counsel, shall be given a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on the Schedule 14D-9 prior to its filing with the SEC and the Company shall give due consideration to all reasonable additions, deletions or changes suggested thereto by Parent and its counsel. The Company agrees to (a) provide Parent, Merger Sub and their counsel with a copy of any written comments (or a description of any oral comments) received by the Company or their counsel from the SEC or its staff with respect to the Schedule 14D-9 promptly after receipt of such comments, (b) consult with Parent and Merger Sub (and give each a reasonable opportunity to review) regarding any such comments prior to responding thereto and the Company shall give due consideration to all reasonable additions, deletions or changes suggested thereto by Parent and its counsel, and (c) provide Parent and Merger Sub with copies of any written comments or responses thereto. The Company shall respond promptly to any comments of the SEC or its staff with respect to the Schedule 14D-9. The Company, Parent and Merger Sub agree to promptly correct any information provided by each for use in the Schedule 14D-9 if and to the extent that such information has become false or misleading in any material respect. The Company further agrees to take all steps necessary to cause the Schedule 14D-9 as so corrected to be filed with the SEC and disseminated to holders of Company Shares, in each case as and to the extent required by applicable federal securities Laws.

2.5 Top-Up Option. (a) Subject to Sections 2.5(b) and 2.5(c), the Company hereby grants to Merger Sub an irrevocable option (the “Top-Up Option”), for so long as this Agreement has not been terminated pursuant to its terms, to purchase from the Company up to the number (but not less than that number) of authorized and unissued Company Shares equal to the lowest

number of Company Shares that, when added to the number of Company Shares owned by Parent, Merger Sub or any Subsidiary of Parent at the time of the exercise of the Top-Up Option, constitutes at least one Share more than 90% of the Company Shares (after giving effect to the issuance of Company Shares to be issued upon exercise of the Top-Up Option (such Company Shares to be issued upon exercise of the Top-Up Option, the “Top-Up Shares”)).

(b) The Top-Up Option may be exercised by Merger Sub only once, in whole but not in part, at any time during the two-Business Day period following the Acceptance Time, or if any Subsequent Offering Period is provided, during the two-Business Day period following the expiration date of such Subsequent Offering Period, and only if Merger Sub owns as of such time more than 50% but less than 90% of the Company Shares outstanding; provided that, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Top-Up Option shall not be exercisable (i) to the extent the number of Company Shares issuable upon exercise of the Top-Up Option would exceed the number of authorized but unissued and unreserved Company Shares, (ii) if any Order then in effect would prohibit the exercise of the Top-Up Option or the delivery of the Top-Up Shares, (iii) unless Parent or Merger Sub has accepted for payment all Company Shares validly tendered in the Offer and not withdrawn, and (iv) unless immediately after such exercise and the issuance of Company Shares pursuant thereto, Merger Sub would own at least 90% of the outstanding Company Shares (assuming the issuance of the Top-Up Shares). In any event, the Top-Up Option shall terminate upon the earlier to occur of (A) the Effective Time and (B) termination of this Agreement in accordance with Article IX. The aggregate purchase price payable for the Top-Up Shares being purchased by Merger Sub pursuant to the Top-Up Option shall be determined by multiplying the number of such Top-Up Shares by the greater of (i) the closing price of a Company Share on Nasdaq the last trading day prior to the exercise of the Top-Up Option or (ii) the Cash Price Per Share, without interest. Such purchase price may be paid by Merger Sub, at its election, either (1) in cash or (2) by paying in cash an amount equal to not less than the aggregate par value of such Top-Up Shares and by executing and delivering to the Company a promissory note having a principal amount equal to the balance of such purchase price (the “Promissory Note”). Any such Promissory Note shall be full recourse against Parent and Merger Sub, shall bear interest at the rate of 5% per annum, shall mature on the first anniversary of the date of execution and delivery of such Promissory Note and may be prepaid without premium or penalty; provided, however, that upon any Event of Default, all principal and accrued interest thereunder shall immediately become due and payable. Without the prior written consent of the Company, the right to exercise the Top-Up Option granted pursuant to this Agreement shall not be assigned by Merger Sub except to any direct or indirect wholly owned Subsidiary of Parent. Any attempted assignment in violation of this Section 2.5(b) shall be null and void.

(c) In the event Merger Sub wishes to exercise the Top-Up Option, Merger Sub shall deliver to the Company written notice (the “Top-Up Notice”) setting forth (i) the number of Top-Up Shares that Merger Sub intends to purchase pursuant to the Top-Up Option, (ii) the manner in which Merger Sub intends to pay the applicable purchase price, and (iii) the place, date and time at which the closing of the purchase of such Top-Up Shares by Merger Sub is to take place. The Top-Up Notice shall also include an undertaking signed by Parent and Merger Sub that, promptly following such exercise of the Top-Up Option, Merger Sub intends to consummate the Merger in accordance with Section 253 of the DGCL as contemplated by Section 7.2(c). At the closing of the purchase of the Top-Up Shares, Parent and Merger Sub

shall cause to be delivered to the Company the consideration required to be delivered in exchange for the Top-Up Shares, and the Company shall cause to be issued to Merger Sub a certificate representing the Top-Up Shares or, at Parent’s or Merger Sub’s request or otherwise if the Company does not then have certificated Company Shares, the applicable number of uncertificated Company Shares represented by book-entry (the “Book-Entry Shares”). The parties shall use their reasonable best efforts to cause the closing of the purchase of the Top-Up Shares to occur on the same day that the Top-Up Notice is deemed received by the Company (provided that such notice is received no later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time on such day), pursuant to Section 10.2, and if not so consummated on such day, as promptly thereafter as possible. The parties further agree to use their reasonable best efforts to cause the Merger to be consummated in accordance with Section 253 of the DGCL as contemplated by Section 7.2(c) as close in time as possible to (including, to the extent possible, on the same day as) the issuance of the Top-Up Shares. Parent, Merger Sub and the Company shall cooperate to ensure that any issuance of the Top-Up Shares is accomplished in a manner consistent with all applicable Laws.

(d) Parent and Merger Sub understand that the Top-Up Shares shall not be registered under the Securities Act and shall be issued in reliance upon an exemption thereunder for transactions not involving a public offering. Each of Parent and Merger Sub represents and warrants to the Company that Merger Sub is, and shall be upon any exercise of the Top-Up Option, an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act. Each of Parent and Merger Sub represents, warrants and agrees that the Top-Up Option is being, and the Top-Up Shares shall be, acquired by Merger Sub for the purpose of investment and not with a view to or for resale in connection with any distribution thereof within the meaning of the Securities Act. Any certificates evidencing Top-Up Shares shall include any legends required by applicable securities Laws.

(e) Any dilutive impact on the value of the Company Shares as a result of the issuance of the Top-Up Shares shall be taken into account in any determination of the fair value of any Dissenting Shares pursuant to Section 262 as contemplated by Section 3.9.

2.6 Stockholder Lists. In connection with the Offer, the Company shall cause its transfer agent to furnish Parent and Merger Sub with mailing labels, security position listings and readily available computer files containing the names and addresses of the record holders of the Company Shares as of the most recent practicable date and shall furnish or cause to be furnished to Parent and Merger Sub such information and assistance (including periodic updates of such information) as Parent or Merger Sub or their agents may reasonably request in communicating the Offer to the record and beneficial holders of the Company Shares. Subject to the requirements of applicable Law, and except for such actions as are reasonably necessary to disseminate the Offer Documents, each of Parent and Merger Sub shall hold all information and documents provided to it under this Section 2.6 in confidence in accordance with the Non-Disclosure Agreement, and shall use such information and documents only in connection with the Offer, and, if this Agreement has been terminated by Parent or Merger Sub, shall promptly deliver to the Company all such information and documents (and all copies thereof).

2.7 Directors. (a) Promptly upon the purchase by Merger Sub pursuant to the Offer of such number of Company Shares as would satisfy at least the Minimum Tender Condition, and from time to time thereafter, Merger Sub shall be entitled to designate such number of

directors, rounded up to the next whole number, on the Board of Directors of the Company as shall give Merger Sub representation on the Board of Directors of the Company equal to the product of (i) the total number of directors on the Board of Directors of the Company (after giving effect to any increase in the number of directors pursuant to this Section 2.7) and (ii) the percentage that such number of Company Shares so purchased bears to the total number of then-outstanding Company Shares on a fully diluted basis, and the Company shall, upon request by Merger Sub, promptly increase the size of the Board of Directors of the Company or use commercially reasonable efforts to seek the resignations of such number of directors as is necessary to provide Merger Sub with such level of representation and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause Merger Sub’s designees to be so elected or appointed. Subject to the applicable requirements of Nasdaq, the Company shall also use commercially reasonable efforts to cause individuals designated by Merger Sub to constitute the same percentage of each committee of the Board of Directors of the Company as the percentage of the entire Board of Directors of the Company represented by individuals designated by Merger Sub. The Company’s obligations to appoint designees to the Board of Directors of the Company shall be subject to Section 14(f) of the Exchange Act. At the request of Merger Sub, the Company shall file with the SEC and mail to the stockholders the information required by Section 14(f) of the Exchange Act and Rule 14f-1 promulgated thereunder. Parent and Merger Sub shall supply to the Company all information with respect to themselves and their respective officers, directors and Affiliates required by Section 14(f) of the Exchange Act and Rule 14f-1 promulgated thereunder, and Parent and Merger Sub shall be solely responsible for such information. For purposes of this Agreement, such information required by Section 14(f) of the Exchange Act and Rule 14f-1 promulgated thereunder that is filed with the SEC and mailed to stockholders shall be considered part of the Schedule 14D-9.

(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 2.7, the Company, Parent and Merger Sub shall cause the Board of Directors of the Company to include, at all times prior to the Effective Time, at least three of the members of the Board of Directors of the Company, selected by the members of the Board of Directors of the Company, who were directors of the Company on the date of this Agreement (“Continuing Directors”), each of whom shall be an “independent director” as defined by Rule 4200(a)(15) of the Nasdaq Marketplace Rules and eligible to serve on the Company’s audit committee under the Exchange Act and the applicable requirements of Nasdaq; provided, however, that if at any time prior to the Effective Time there shall be fewer than three Continuing Directors serving as directors of the Company for any reason, then the Board of Directors of the Company shall take all necessary action (including creating a committee of the Board of Directors of the Company) to cause an individual selected by the remaining Continuing Directors (or Continuing Director, if there shall be only one Continuing Director remaining) who satisfies the foregoing independence requirements and who is not an officer, director, stockholder or designee of Parent or any of its Affiliates to be appointed to serve on the Board of Directors of the Company (and such individual shall be deemed to be a Continuing Director for all purposes under this Agreement).

(c) Following the election or appointment of Merger Sub’s designees pursuant to Section 2.7(a) and prior to the Effective Time, any action by the Company with respect to any amendment, supplement, modification or waiver of any term of this Agreement, any termination of this Agreement by the Company, any extension of time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of Parent or Merger Sub under this Agreement, any waiver of

compliance with any of the agreements or conditions under this Agreement that are for the benefit of the Company, any amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws, any material modification of any Company Stock Plan, any authorization of an agreement between the Company and any of its Affiliates, on the one hand, and Parent, Merger Sub or any of their Affiliates, on the other hand, any exercise of the Company’s rights or remedies under this Agreement and any action to seek to enforce any obligation of Parent or Merger Sub under this Agreement (or any other action by the Board of Directors of the Company with respect to the Transactions if such other action adversely affects, or could reasonably be expected to adversely affect, any of the holders of Company Shares other than Parent or Merger Sub) may only be authorized by, and shall require the authorization of, a majority of the Continuing Directors (or by the Continuing Director should there be only one). For purposes of considering any matter set forth in this Section 2.7(c), the Continuing Directors shall be permitted to meet without the presence of the other directors. The Continuing Directors shall have the authority to retain such counsel (which may include current counsel to the Company) and other advisors at the expense of the Company as determined by the Continuing Directors and shall have the authority to institute any action on behalf of the Company to enforce performance of this Agreement or any of the Company’s rights hereunder. The Company shall indemnify and advance expenses to, and Parent shall cause the Company to indemnify and advance expenses to, the Continuing Directors in connection with their service as directors of the Company prior to the Effective Time to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law and in accordance with the provisions of Section 7.9 hereof.

(d) In the event that Merger Sub’s designees are elected or appointed to the Board of Directors of the Company pursuant to Section 2.7(a), until the Effective Time, (i) the Board of Directors of the Company shall have at least such number of directors as may be required by the Nasdaq rules or the federal securities Laws who are considered independent directors within the meaning of such rules and Laws (“Independent Directors”) and (ii) each committee of the Board of Directors of the Company that is required (or a majority of which is required) by the Nasdaq rules or the federal securities Laws to be composed solely of Independent Directors shall be so composed; provided, however, if the number of Independent Directors is reduced below the number of directors as may be required by such rules or Laws for any reason, the remaining Independent Director(s) shall be entitled to designate persons to fill such vacancies who shall be deemed to be Independent Directors for purposes of this Agreement or, if no Independent Director then remains, the other directors shall designate such number of directors as may be required by the Nasdaq rules and the federal securities Laws to fill such vacancies who shall not be shareholders or Affiliates of Parent or Merger Sub, and such Persons shall be deemed to be Independent Directors for purposes of this Agreement.

(e) The provisions of this Section 2.7 are in addition to, and shall not limit, any right that Merger Sub, Parent or any Affiliate of Merger Sub or Parent may have (with respect to the election of directors or otherwise) under applicable Law as a holder or beneficial owner of Company Shares.

2.8 Surrender of Certificates.

(a) Exchange Agent. Parent has appointed ▇▇▇▇▇ Fargo Bank, N.A. to act as exchange agent (the “Exchange Agent”) for the Offer.

(b) Parent To Provide Offer Consideration. Promptly following the Acceptance Time, Parent shall deposit with the Exchange Agent, for exchange in accordance with this Article II, (i) the Certificates representing the aggregate number of shares of Parent Common Stock issuable pursuant to Section 2.2 and (ii) cash in an amount sufficient for payment in respect of the aggregate Cash Price Per Share payable pursuant to Section 2.2 and for payment in lieu of fractional shares of Parent Common Stock to which holders of Company Shares may be entitled pursuant to Section 2.1(g) (collectively, the “Exchange Fund”). In the event that the shares and/or cash in the Exchange Fund shall be insufficient to fully satisfy all of the payment obligations to be made by the Exchange Agent hereunder, Parent shall promptly make available to the Exchange Agent the amounts so required to satisfy such payment obligations in full. The Exchange Agent shall deliver the cash payments and Parent Common Stock contemplated to be paid for Company Shares pursuant to this Agreement out of the Exchange Fund as contemplated by this Agreement. Except as contemplated by this Section 2.8, the Exchange Fund shall not be used for any other purpose. Amounts of cash in the Exchange Fund shall be invested by the Exchange Agent as directed by Parent; provided, however, that: (i) no such investment or losses thereon shall affect the amounts payable to the holders of Company Shares and (ii) such investments shall be in obligations of or guaranteed by the United States or America of any agency or instrumentality thereof and backed by the full faith and credit of the United States of America, in commercial paper obligations rated A-1 or P-1 or better by ▇▇▇▇▇’▇ Investors Service, Inc. or Standard & Poor’s Corporation, respectively, or in certificates of deposit, bank repurchase agreements or banker’s acceptances of commercial banks with capital exceeding $1 billion (based on the most recent financial statements of such bank that are then publicly available). Any net profit resulting from, or interest or income produced by, such investments shall be payable to Parent.

(c) Transfers of Ownership. If shares of Parent Common Stock are to be issued in a name other than that in which the Certificates surrendered in exchange therefor are registered, it shall be a condition of the issuance thereof that the Certificates so surrendered shall be properly endorsed and otherwise in proper form for transfer and that the Persons requesting such exchange shall have paid to Parent or any agent designated by it any transfer or other Taxes required by reason of the issuance of shares of Parent Common Stock in any name other than that of the registered holder of the Certificates surrendered, or established to the satisfaction of Parent or any agent designated by it that such Tax has been paid or is not payable.

(d) Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. If any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by Parent or the Exchange Agent to the extent in accordance with customary practice, the posting by such Person of a bond in such reasonable amount as Parent or the Exchange Agent shall direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against them with respect to such Certificate, the Exchange Agent shall issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate the Offer Price payable to the holder thereof pursuant to Article II.

(e) Required Withholding. Each of the Exchange Agent and Parent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any consideration, or other amounts, payable or otherwise deliverable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder or former holder of Company Shares or any other Person such amounts as are required to be deducted or withheld therefrom under any

applicable Law (including any withholding provision of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder). To the extent amounts are deducted or withheld pursuant to this Section 2.8, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes under this Agreement as having been paid to the Person to whom such amounts would otherwise have been paid and such amounts shall be remitted to the applicable Governmental Entity in accordance with applicable Law and notice thereof shall be provided to the applicable holder of Company Shares. Any purported withholding of Taxes from payments or other deliveries made in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, the amount of which was forwarded to the relevant Governmental Entity, shall not be deemed a breach of this Agreement and the amount so withheld shall be treated for all purposes under this Agreement as having been paid to the Person to whom such amounts would otherwise have been paid, notwithstanding that withholding of Taxes might have not been required.

(f) No Liability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.8, none of the Exchange Agent, Parent or any party hereto shall be liable to a holder of Company Shares for any amount properly paid to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law.

ARTICLE III.

PLAN OF MERGER

3.1 The Merger. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, and in accordance with the DGCL and the DLLCA, at the Effective Time, Merger Sub shall be merged with and into the Company. As a result of the Merger, the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub shall cease and the Company shall continue as the surviving corporation (the “Surviving Corporation”) and shall become a wholly owned Subsidiary of Parent. In the event Parent and the Company mutually determine prior to the Effective Time that the Merger would qualify as a tax-free reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations, this Agreement shall be deemed amended without further action of any party hereto or its stockholders to provide that the Merger shall consist of the Company merging with and into the Merger Sub and Merger Sub continuing as the Surviving Corporation, and Exhibit B, Exhibit C and Section 3.7 shall be modified as appropriate.

3.2 Effective Time; Closing Date. The closing of the Merger and the other Transactions (the “Closing”) shall take place at the offices of ▇▇▇▇▇ Day, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇^▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, at 9:00 a.m. (local time) on the date that is the second Business Day after the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Article VIII (other than those conditions which by their terms are to be satisfied or waived as of the Closing but subject to the satisfaction or waiver thereof), or at such other time, date or location as the parties hereto shall mutually agree. The date upon which the Closing actually occurs is referred to herein as the “Closing Date.” On or before the Closing Date, the parties hereto shall cause the Merger to be consummated by filing a certificate of merger (the “Certificate of Merger”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, in such form as is required by, and executed in accordance with, the relevant provisions of the DGCL and the DLLCA (the date and time of such filing of the Certificate of Merger (or such later time as may be agreed by each of the parties hereto and specified in the Certificate of Merger) being the “Effective Time”).

3.3 Effects of the Merger. At the Effective Time, without any action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or the holders of any of the following securities, the following shall occur:

(a) Conversion of Company Shares. Subject to Section 3.4, each Non-Election Share that is outstanding as of the Effective Time (other than Company Shares that will be canceled pursuant to Section 3.3(b), Company Shares that will be converted into shares of Parent Common Stock pursuant to Schedule 6.1 and any Dissenting Shares) shall automatically be converted into the right to receive $6.62 in cash, without interest, and 0.1064 of a share of Parent Common Stock (collectively, the “Merger Consideration”), upon surrender, in the manner provided in Section 3.4, of the certificate that formerly evidenced such Company Share.

(b) Parent-Owned Stock and Stock Held in Treasury. Each Company Share held in the treasury of the Company or owned by Parent or any direct or indirect wholly owned Subsidiary of the Company or of Parent immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be canceled and retired without any conversion or consideration paid in respect thereof and shall cease to exist.

(c) Capital Stock of Merger Sub. Each share or membership interest of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into one validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of the Surviving Corporation. Each certificate evidencing ownership of such shares or membership interests of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, as of the Effective Time, evidence ownership of such shares of the Surviving Corporation.

(d) Adjustments to Merger Consideration. The Merger Consideration shall be adjusted to reflect appropriately the effect of any forward or reverse stock split, stock dividend (including any dividend or distribution of securities exercisable or exchangeable for or convertible into Parent Common Stock or Company Shares), stock sale, reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, combination, exchange of shares or other like change with respect to shares of Parent Common Stock or Company Shares occurring on or after the date of this Agreement and prior to the Effective Time.

(e) Fractional Shares. No fraction of a share of Parent Common Stock shall be issued to represent any fractional share interests in Parent Common Stock to be delivered hereunder in exchange for Company Shares, but in lieu thereof each holder of Company Shares who would otherwise be entitled to a fraction of a share of Parent Common Stock (after aggregating all fractional shares of Parent Common Stock that otherwise would be received by such holder) shall, upon surrender by such holder of each Certificate held thereby, receive from Parent an amount of cash (rounded to the nearest whole cent), without interest, equal to the product of (i) such fraction, multiplied by (ii) the Average Per Share Price. The parties hereto acknowledge that payment of the cash consideration in lieu of issuing fractional shares is not separately bargained for consideration, but merely represents a mechanical rounding off for purposes of simplifying the corporate and accounting complexities that would otherwise be caused by the issuance of fractional shares.

(f) Non-Election Shares. All Company Shares (other than Company Shares that have been validly tendered in the Offer and not validly withdrawn and with respect to which the Exchange Agent has received an effective, properly and fully completed Form of Election on or before the Expiration Date) (or such other time and date as the Company and Parent may agree) (the “Election Deadline”) shall be deemed to be “Non-Election Shares”; provided, however, that if the Acceptance Time has not occurred prior to the Effective Time, all outstanding Company Shares as of the Effective Time shall be deemed to be “Non-Election Shares.” Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, but subject to Section 3.4, each Company Share that is a Non-Election Share or a Dissenting Share shall by virtue of this Agreement and the Merger be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration.

3.4 Surrender of Certificates.

(a) Exchange Agent. Parent has appointed ▇▇▇▇▇ Fargo Bank, N.A. to act as Exchange Agent in the Merger.

(b) Parent to Provide Merger Consideration. At or prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall deposit with the Exchange Agent in the Exchange Fund, for exchange in accordance with this Article III, (i) the Certificates representing aggregate shares of Parent Common Stock issuable pursuant to Section 3.3 and (ii) cash in an amount sufficient for payment in respect of the aggregate cash Merger Consideration and for payment in lieu of fractional shares of Parent Common Stock to which holders of Company Shares may be entitled pursuant to Section 3.3(e). In the event that the shares and/or cash in the Exchange Fund shall be insufficient to fully satisfy all of the payment obligations to be made by the Exchange Agent hereunder, Parent shall promptly make available to the Exchange Agent the amounts so required to satisfy such payment obligations in full. The Exchange Agent shall deliver the cash payments and Parent Common Stock contemplated to be paid for Company Shares pursuant to this Agreement out of the Exchange Fund as contemplated hereby. Except as contemplated by this Section 3.4, the Exchange Fund shall not be used for any other purpose. Amounts of cash in the Exchange Fund shall be invested by the Exchange Agent as directed by Parent; provided, however, that: (i) no such investment or losses thereon shall affect the Merger Consideration payable to the holders of Company Shares and (ii) such investments shall be in obligations of or guaranteed by the United States or America of any agency or instrumentality thereof and backed by the full faith and credit of the United States of America, in commercial paper obligations rated A-1 or P-1 or better by ▇▇▇▇▇’▇ Investors Service, Inc. or Standard & Poor’s Corporation, respectively, or in certificates of deposit, bank repurchase agreements or banker’s acceptances of commercial banks with capital exceeding $1 billion (based on the most recent financial statements of such bank that are then publicly available). Any net profit resulting from, or interest or income produced by, such investments shall be payable to the Surviving Corporation or Parent.

(c) Exchange Procedures. As soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time (but no later than three Business Days thereafter), Parent shall cause the Exchange Agent to mail to each holder of record of Non-Election Shares as of the Effective Time of one or more certificates (each, a “Certificate”) or uncertificated Company Shares (“Uncertificated Shares”) that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented issued and outstanding Non-Election Shares that were converted into the right to receive Merger

Consideration pursuant to Section 3.3: (i) an LT in customary form (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificate or Uncertificated Shares shall pass, only upon delivery of the Certificate or the Uncertificated Shares to the Exchange Agent), that shall also be in such form and have such other provisions as Parent and the Company may reasonably specify, and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificate or the transfer of Uncertificated Shares in exchange for the Merger Consideration. Upon (x) surrender of Certificates for cancellation to the Exchange Agent or (y) receipt of an “agent’s message” by the Exchange Agent (or such other evidence, if any, of transfer as the Exchange Agent may reasonably request) in the case of a Book-Entry Shares, together with such LT, duly completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto, the holders of such Certificates or Uncertificated Shares shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor the Merger Consideration and cash in lieu of fractional shares of Parent Common Stock to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 3.3(e), and the Certificates so surrendered or the Uncertificated Shares so transferred shall forthwith be canceled. Until so surrendered or canceled, outstanding Certificates and Uncertificated Shares shall be deemed from and after the Effective Time to evidence only the right to receive, upon surrender and without interest, the Merger Consideration into which the Company Shares theretofore represented by such Certificates shall have been converted pursuant to Section 3.3 and cash in lieu of fractional shares of Parent Common Stock pursuant to Section 3.3(e).

(d) Transfers of Ownership. If shares of Parent Common Stock are to be issued in a name other than that in which the Certificates surrendered in exchange therefor are registered, it shall be a condition of the issuance thereof that the Certificates so surrendered shall be properly endorsed and otherwise in proper form for transfer and that the Persons requesting such exchange shall have paid to Parent or any agent designated by it any transfer or other Taxes required by reason of the issuance of shares of Parent Common Stock in any name other than that of the registered holder of the Certificates surrendered, or established to the satisfaction of Parent or any agent designated by it that such Tax has been paid or is not payable.

(e) Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. If any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by Parent or the Exchange Agent to the extent in accordance with customary practice, the posting by such Person of a bond in such reasonable amount as Parent or the Exchange Agent may direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against them with respect to such Certificate, the Exchange Agent shall issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate the Merger Consideration into which the Company Shares represented by such Certificate immediately prior to the Effective Time shall have been converted pursuant to Section 3.3 and any cash in lieu of fractional shares of Parent Common Stock payable to the holder thereof pursuant to Section 3.3(e).

(f) Required Withholding. Each of the Exchange Agent and Parent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any consideration, or other amounts, payable or otherwise deliverable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder or former holder of Company Shares or any other Person such amounts as are required to be deducted or withheld therefrom under any applicable Law (including any withholding provision of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder). To the extent amounts are deducted or withheld pursuant to this Section 3.4, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes under this Agreement as having been

paid to the Person to whom such amounts would otherwise have been paid and such amounts shall be remitted to the applicable Governmental Entity in accordance with applicable Law and notice thereof shall be provided to the applicable holder of Company Shares. Any purported withholding of Taxes from payments or other deliveries made in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, the amount of which was forwarded to the relevant Governmental Entity, shall not be deemed a breach of this Agreement and the amount so withheld shall be treated for all purposes under this Agreement as having been paid to the Person to whom such amounts would otherwise have been paid, notwithstanding that withholding of Taxes might have not been required. Any holder or former holder of Company Shares or Company Stock Options that instructed Parent or the Exchange Agent to sell any part of the shares of Parent Common Stock due to such holder shall have no claim against Parent or the Exchange Agent and/or their officers or directors with respect to such sale, including the timing of such sale, the price received for the sold shares or the transaction costs.

(g) Termination of Exchange Fund. Promptly following the date that is one year after the Closing Date, the Surviving Corporation shall be entitled to require the Exchange Agent to deliver to Parent any portion of the Exchange Fund which has not been disbursed to holders of Company Shares (including all interest and other income received by the Exchange Agent in respect of the Exchange Fund), and thereafter each holder of a Company Share may surrender or transfer, as applicable, such Company Share to Parent or the Surviving Corporation and (subject to abandoned property, escheat and other similar Laws) receive in consideration therefor the Merger Consideration into which such Company Shares shall have been converted pursuant to Section 3.3 and cash in lieu of fractional shares of Parent Common Stock pursuant to Section 3.3(e), in each case without interest, but such holder shall have no greater rights against Parent or the Surviving Corporation than may be accorded to general creditors of Parent or the Surviving Corporation under applicable Law.

(h) No Liability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3.4, none of the Exchange Agent, Parent or any party hereto shall be liable to a holder of shares of Parent Common Stock or Company Shares for any amount properly paid to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law.

3.5 Company’s Transfer Books Closed; No Further Ownership Rights in Company Shares. At the Effective Time: (a) the share transfer books of the Company shall be deemed closed, and no transfer of any Company Shares or certificates with respect thereto shall thereafter be made or consummated and (b) all holders of Company Shares shall cease to have any rights as stockholders of the Company except for any right to receive the Merger Consideration and cash in lieu of fractional shares of Parent Common Stock pursuant to Section 3.3(e). The Merger Consideration issued in accordance with the terms hereof (including any cash paid in lieu of fractional Shares of Parent Common Stock pursuant to Section 3.3(e)) shall be deemed to have been issued in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such Company Shares.

3.6 Stock Options; SARs; Restricted Stock.

(a) Stock Options.

(i) As soon as reasonably practicable after the date of this Agreement, the Company will take (or will cause to be taken) all actions necessary (including providing such notices, adopting such amendments to the Company Stock Plans and, taking such other actions as are reasonably requested by Parent) such that:

(A) All outstanding options or rights to acquire Company Shares (each, a “Company Stock Option”) under the S1 Corporation 1997 Stock Option Plan (the “1997 Plan”) and the Security First Technologies Corporation 1998 Directors’ Stock Option Plan (the “1998 Plan”), if elected by the holder, will be exercised effective as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, with the effect that the Company Shares issuable upon exercise will be deemed for all purposes to be issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and will have the right to receive the Merger Consideration.

(B) Without limiting the generality or effect of the preceding paragraph (A), the holders of all Company Stock Options under the 1997 Plan and the 1998 Plan will be notified that such Company Stock Options may be exercised at any time during the period that commences on the date of this Agreement and ends on the day before the Effective Time (the “Exercise Period”), provided that (A) any such exercise, to the extent that it relates to a Company Stock Option that would become exercisable only at the Effective Time, will be contingent until, and will become effective only upon, the occurrence of the Effective Time and (B) no Company Stock Option may be exercised after the Exercise Period.

The Company shall provide Parent and its counsel with a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on all documents evidencing the matters set forth in this Section 3.6 prior to finalizing the same and/or providing copies to Company employees, and the Company and Parent shall act in good faith to mutually agree on all reasonable additions, deletions or changes suggested by Parent and its counsel to the extent practicable taking into account any applicable deadlines.

(ii) Each outstanding Company Stock Option under the 1997 Plan or the 1998 Plan that is not exercised before the end of the Exercise Period, and any other Company Stock Option that is outstanding as of immediately before the Effective Time, shall be terminated and canceled at the Effective Time, and the holder of each Company Stock Option under the 2003 Plan and each Company Stock Option that shall have vested as of or prior to the Effective Time pursuant to the terms of the applicable Company Stock Plan and/or related award agreement will, subject to any required Tax withholding, be entitled to receive an amount in cash equal to the product of (1) the excess, if any, of (A) the Blended Value over (B) the exercise price per Company Share subject to such Company Stock Option and (2) the total number of Company Shares subject to such Company Stock Option as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time (the “Option Consideration”); provided, however, that if the Option Consideration is zero or a negative number as of the Effective Time, such Company Stock Option shall be canceled and no amount shall be paid in respect thereof. Parent shall pay or cause to be paid the Option Consideration to the holders of the Company Stock Options in a lump sum as soon as

practicable after the Effective Time but in no event later than five Business Days following the Effective Time.

(b) SARs. At the Effective Time, each stock appreciation right granted under the applicable Company Stock Plan (the “SARs”) shall be canceled at the Effective Time, and the holder of each Unit that shall have vested as of or prior to the Effective Time pursuant to the applicable Company Stock Plan will, subject to any required Tax withholding, be entitled to receive an amount in cash equal to the product of (i) the excess, if any, of (A) the Blended Value over (B) the exercise price per share of the Company Shares, if any, subject to such Units and (ii) the total number of Company Shares, if any, subject to such Units as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time (the “SARs Consideration”). Parent shall pay or cause to be paid the applicable SARs Consideration to the holders of the SARs in a lump sum as soon as practicable after the Effective Time but in no event later than five Business Days following the Effective Time.

(c) Restricted Stock and Restricted Units. Except as set forth in Schedule 6.1 of the Company Disclosure Schedule, at the Effective Time, each outstanding restricted Company Share, restricted stock unit and restricted cash unit that shall have vested as of or prior to the Effective Time pursuant to the applicable Company Stock Plan shall be treated as an outstanding fully vested Company Share and shall have the right to receive the Merger Consideration.

(d) Board Resolutions. 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 this Section 3.6 including all necessary action to ensure that from and after the Effective Time neither Parent nor the Surviving Corporation shall be required to deliver Company Shares or other capital stock of the Company to any Person pursuant to or in settlement of Company Stock Options, and all Company Stock Plans or other Company Employee 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 3.6.

3.7 Certificate of Incorporation, By-Laws and Directors and Officers of the Surviving Corporation.

(a) Certificate of Incorporation. At the Effective Time, the certificate of incorporation of the Company shall be amended by virtue of the Merger in the form set forth on Exhibit B and, as so amended, shall be the certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter amended as provided by applicable Law and such certificate of incorporation.

(b) At the Effective Time, the by-laws of the Surviving Company shall be in the form set forth on Exhibit C and shall be the by-laws of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter amended as provided by Law, the certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation and such by-laws.

If, at any time after the Effective Time, any further action is necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement and the Transactions, the officers and directors of either the Surviving Corporation or Parent may take any and all such lawful and necessary action.

3.9 Appraisal Rights/Dissenting Shares. (a) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary and to the extent available under the DGCL, all Non-Election Shares that are outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and that are held by stockholders of the Company who have neither voted in favor of the Merger nor consented thereto in writing and who have demanded properly in writing appraisal for such Company Shares in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL (collectively, the “Dissenting Shares”) shall not be converted into, or represent the right to receive, the Merger Consideration. Such stockholders shall be entitled to receive payment of the appraised value of Dissenting Shares held by them in accordance with the provisions of Section 262 of the DGCL, except that all Dissenting Shares held by stockholders of the Company who have failed to perfect or who effectively have withdrawn or lost their rights to appraisal of such Dissenting Shares under Section 262 of the DGCL shall thereupon be deemed to have been converted into, and to have become exchangeable for, as of the Effective Time, the right to receive the Merger Consideration, without any interest thereon, upon surrender, in the manner provided in Article III, of the Certificate or Certificates that formerly evidenced such Company Shares.

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

ARTICLE IV.

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE COMPANY

Except as disclosed in (a) the reports, schedules, forms, statements and other documents filed or furnished by the Company with the SEC since December 31, 2009 (the “Company SEC Documents”) filed on or prior to the date five days prior to the date hereof (excluding any risk factor disclosure and disclosure of risks included in any “forward-looking statements” disclaimer or similar statements included in such Company SEC Documents that are predictive, forward-looking or primarily cautionary in nature); provided that this clause (a) shall not qualify Sections 4.1, 4.3, 4.4(a), 4.7, 4.18 or 4.20, or (b) the Company Disclosure Schedule, the Company represents and warrants to Parent and Merger Sub as follows:

4.1 Organization, Standing and Power. Each of the Company and each Significant Company Subsidiary is duly organized, validly existing and, to the extent applicable, in good standing under the Laws of the jurisdiction in which it is organized and has full corporate power and authority to conduct its businesses as presently conducted. The Company and each Significant Company Subsidiary is duly qualified to do business in each jurisdiction where the nature of its business or its ownership or leasing of its properties make such qualification necessary and the failure to so qualify has had or would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on the Company. The Company has made available to Parent true and complete copies of its certificate of incorporation and by-laws as amended through the date of this Agreement (together, the “Company Charter Documents”) and the comparable charter and organizational documents of each Significant Company Subsidiary, in each case as amended through the date of this Agreement.

None of the Company, any of its Subsidiaries, any officer of the

Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any of the Company Employee Plans which are subject to ERISA, including the Company Pension Plans, any trusts created thereunder or any trustee or administrator thereof, has engaged in a “prohibited transaction” (as such term is defined in Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code) or any other breach of fiduciary responsibility that could subject the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any officer or fiduciary of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to the tax or penalty on prohibited transactions imposed by such Section 4975 or to any liability under Section 502(i) or 502(1) of ERISA.

All premiums to the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation have been timely paid in full for all Company Pension Plans subject to Title IV of ERISA. The Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation has not instituted proceedings to terminate any Company Pension Plan subject to Title IV of ERISA and, to the Knowledge of the Company, no condition exists that presents a risk that such proceedings shall be instituted or which would constitute grounds under Section 4042 of ERISA for the termination of, or the appointment of a trustee to administer, such plan.

(e) Except as set forth in the Company Disclosure Schedule, (i) the consummation of any of the Transactions alone, or in combination with any other event, shall not give rise to any liability under any Company Employee Plan, including liability for severance pay, unemployment compensation, termination pay or withdrawal liability, or accelerate the time of payment or vesting or increase the amount of compensation or benefits due to any employee, officer, director, independent contractor, stockholder or other service provider of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (whether current, former or retired) or their beneficiaries and (ii) any amount that could be received (whether in cash or property or the vesting of property) as a result of the consummation of any of the Transactions by any employee, officer, director or independent contractor of the Company or any of its Affiliates who is a “disqualified individual” (as such term is defined in proposed Treasury Regulation Section 1.280G-1) under any

employment, severance or termination agreement, other compensation arrangement or Company Employee Plan currently in effect would not be characterized as an “excess parachute payment” (as defined in Section 280G(b)(1) of the Code).

(f) Each Company International Employee Plan has been established, maintained and administered in material compliance with its terms and conditions and with the requirements prescribed by any and all statutory or regulatory laws that are applicable to such Company International Employee Plan. Furthermore, no Company International Employee Plan has unfunded liabilities, that as of the Effective Time shall not be offset by insurance or fully accrued. Except as required by law, no condition exists that would prevent the Company from terminating or amending any Company International Employee Plan at any time for any reason without liability to the Company or its Company ERISA Affiliates (other than ordinary administration expenses or routine claims for benefits).

(g) The Company has provided or made available to Parent correct and complete copies of: (i) all documents embodying each Company Employee Plan, other than legally-mandated plans, programs and arrangements and each Company Employment Agreement including all amendments thereto and all related trust documents, administrative service agreements, group annuity contracts, group insurance contracts, and policies pertaining to fiduciary liability insurance covering the fiduciaries for each Plan; (ii) the most recent annual actuarial valuations, if any, prepared for each Company Employee Plan; (iii) the three most recent annual reports (Form Series 5500 and all schedules and financial statements attached thereto), if any, required under ERISA or the Code in connection with each Company Employee Plan; (iv) if Company Employee Plan is funded, the most recent annual and periodic accounting of Company Employee Plan assets; (v) the most recent summary plan description together with the summary(ies) of material modifications thereto, if any, required under ERISA with respect to each Company Employee Plan; and (vi) all current IRS determination, opinion, notification and advisory letters, and all applications and correspondence to or from the IRS or the DOL with respect to any such outstanding application.

(c) No Parent Pension Plan (other than a Parent International Employee Plan), had, as of the respective last annual valuation date for each such Parent Pension Plan, an

None of the Parent Pension Plans (other than a Parent International Employee Plan) has an “accumulated funding deficiency” (as such term is defined in Section 302 of ERISA or Section 412 of the Code), whether or not waived. None of Parent, any of its Subsidiaries, any officer of Parent or any of its Subsidiaries or any of the Parent Employee Plans which are subject to ERISA, including the Parent Pension Plans, any trusts created thereunder or any trustee or administrator thereof, has engaged in a “prohibited transaction” (as such term is defined in Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code) or any other breach of fiduciary responsibility that could subject Parent, any of its Subsidiaries or any officer or fiduciary of Parent or any of its Subsidiaries to the tax or penalty on prohibited transactions imposed by such Section 4975 or to any liability under Section 502(i) or 502(1) of ERISA.

All premiums to the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation have been timely paid in full for all Parent Pension Plans subject to Title IV of ERISA. The Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation has not instituted proceedings to terminate any Parent Pension Plan subject to Title IV of ERISA and, to the Knowledge of Parent, no condition exists that presents a risk that such proceedings will be instituted or which would constitute grounds under Section 4042 of ERISA for the termination of, or the appointment of a trustee to administer, such plan.

Furthermore, no Parent International Employee Plan has unfunded liabilities, that as of the Effective Time, will not be offset by insurance or fully accrued.

its Parent ERISA Affiliates (other than ordinary administration expenses or routine claims for benefits).

In addition, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, except as contemplated by this Agreement or as required by applicable Law, from the date of this Agreement to the Effective Time, Parent shall not, and shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, do any of the following without the prior written consent of Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned:

(c) amend the Parent Charter Documents or other comparable charter or organizational documents of any Subsidiary of Parent;

(d) enter into any new line of business outside of Parent’s existing businesses;

For purposes of this Section 6.2, if any action, transaction or omission is permitted by the terms of a subsection hereof that specifically relates to the subject matter of the subsection, such action, transaction or omission shall be deemed permitted under all other subsections of this Section 6.2 even if such action, transaction or omission has ancillary effects on other subject matters contemplated by other subsections of this Section 6.2. Nothing contained in this Agreement is intended to give the Company, directly or indirectly, the right to control or direct the operations of Parent or any of its Subsidiaries prior to the Effective Time. Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall exercise, consistent with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, complete control and supervision over its and its Subsidiaries’ respective operations.

7.2 Company Stockholders Meeting; Company Recommendation. (a) If the Company Stockholder Approval is required by applicable Law, as promptly as reasonably practicable after the Post-Effective Amendment is declared effective under the Securities Act, the Company shall duly take all necessary actions to duly call, give notice of, convene and hold a meeting of the stockholders of the Company or, if possible, arrange for action by written consent of the Company’s stockholders (such meeting, or any adjournments or postponements thereof, or consent, the “Company Stockholders Meeting”) for the purpose of obtaining the Company Stockholder Approval and shall, subject to Section 7.2(b), use reasonable best efforts to solicit its stockholders to obtain the Company Stockholder Approval. At the Company Stockholders Meeting or any postponement or adjournment thereof, Parent shall vote, or cause to be voted, all of the Company Shares then owned by it, Merger Sub or any of their respective Subsidiaries in favor of the adoption of this Agreement and to deliver or provide, in its capacity as a stockholder of the Company, any other approvals that are required pursuant to applicable Law to effect the Transactions.

(b) The Board of Directors of the Company shall, subject to this Section 7.2(b), make the Company Recommendation to the stockholders of the Company and include the Company Recommendation in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus. Neither the Board of Directors of the Company nor any committee thereof, shall, directly or indirectly, withdraw, modify, amend or qualify the Company Recommendation in a manner adverse to Parent or Merger Sub (or publicly propose to take any of the foregoing actions) or execute or enter into, any letter of intent, memorandum of understanding, merger agreement or other written agreement providing for a Company Acquisition Proposal, except in accordance with Section 7.5.

(c) Following the receipt of the Company Stockholder Approval, if applicable, Parent shall cause the Merger to become effective as promptly as practicable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if Parent, Merger Sub or any other Subsidiary of Parent owns, by virtue of the Offer, exercise of the Top-Up Option or otherwise, in the aggregate at least 90% of the outstanding Company Shares, Parent, Merger Sub and the Company shall take all actions necessary and appropriate to cause the Merger to become effective as promptly as practicable following the time such ownership is first obtained, without a stockholders’ meeting in accordance with Section 253 of the DGCL.

7.3 Notification. Each of Parent and the Company shall give prompt written notice to the other (and shall subsequently keep the other informed on a current basis of any developments related to such notice) upon its becoming aware of the occurrence or existence of any fact, event or circumstance that is reasonably likely to result in any of the conditions set forth in Article VIII or Exhibit A not being able to be satisfied prior to the Termination Date; provided, however, that the delivery of any notice pursuant to this Section 7.3 shall not, and shall not be deemed to, cure any breach of any representation or warranty requiring disclosure of such matter at or prior to the date of this Agreement or affect any of the conditions set forth in Article VIII or otherwise limit or affect the remedies available.

7.4 Confidentiality; Access to Information. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the Company and Parent have previously executed a Non-Disclosure Agreement, dated as of August 30, 2011 (the “Non-Disclosure Agreement”), which Non-Disclosure Agreement will continue to be in full force and effect in accordance with its terms except as otherwise provided herein. Each of Parent and the Company shall afford the other parties hereto and the other parties’ accountants, counsel and other Representatives reasonable access during normal business hours, upon reasonable notice, to its properties, books, records and personnel during the period prior to the Effective Time to obtain all information concerning its business as the other may reasonably request. Each of the parties hereto shall hold, and shall cause its accountants, counsel and other Representatives to hold, in confidence all documents and information furnished to it by or on behalf of another party to this Agreement in connection with the Transactions pursuant to the terms of the Non-Disclosure Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Company nor Parent shall be required to afford such access if it would unreasonably disrupt the operations of such party or any of its Subsidiaries, would be reasonably likely to result in a violation of any agreement to which such party or any of its Subsidiaries is a party (provided that the Company or Parent, as the case may be, has used its reasonable best efforts to find an alternative way to provide the access or information contemplated by this Section 7.4), would be reasonably likely to result in a risk of a loss of attorney-client or other similar privilege to such party or any of its Subsidiaries or would be reasonably likely to result in a violation of any applicable Law. No information or knowledge obtained by a party hereto in any investigation pursuant to this Section 7.4 will affect or be deemed to modify any representation or warranty contained herein or the conditions to the obligations of the parties to consummate the Transactions.

7.5 Non-Solicitation by the Company. (a) The Company agrees that neither it nor any of its Subsidiaries, nor any of their respective officers, directors or employees, shall, and that it shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause its and their respective Representatives not to (and shall not authorize or give permission to its and their respective Representatives to), directly or

indirectly: (i) solicit, initiate, seek or knowingly encourage the making, submission or announcement of any Company Acquisition Proposal, (ii) furnish any nonpublic information regarding the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to any Person in connection with or in response to a Company Acquisition Proposal, (iii) continue or otherwise engage or participate in any discussions or negotiations with any Person with respect to any Company Acquisition Proposal, (iv) except in connection with a Company Change of Recommendation pursuant to Section 7.5(e), approve, endorse or recommend any Company Acquisition Proposal, or (v) except in connection with a Company Change of Recommendation pursuant to Section 7.5(e), enter into any letter of intent, arrangement, agreement or understanding relating to any Company Acquisition Transaction; provided, however, that this Section 7.5 shall not prohibit (A) the Board of Directors of the Company or any committee thereof, directly or indirectly through any officer, employee or Representative, prior to the earlier of the Acceptance Time or the receipt of the Company Stockholder Approval, from furnishing nonpublic information regarding the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to, or entering into or participating in discussions or negotiations with, any Person in response to an unsolicited, bona fide Company Acquisition Proposal that the Board of Directors of the Company or any committee thereof concludes in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel and a financial advisor, constitutes or would reasonably be expected to result in a Company Superior Offer if (1) the Board of Directors of the Company or any committee thereof concludes in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that the failure to take such action with respect to such Company Acquisition Proposal would be reasonably likely to result in a breach of its fiduciary duties under applicable Law, (2) such Company Acquisition Proposal did not result from a material breach of this Section 7.5, (3) prior thereto the Company has given Parent the notice required by Section 7.5(b), and (4) the Company furnishes any nonpublic information provided to the maker of the Company Acquisition Proposal only pursuant to a confidentiality agreement between the Company and such Person containing customary terms and conditions that in the aggregate are not materially less restrictive than those contained in the Non-Disclosure Agreement; or (B) the Company from complying with Rule 14d-9 or Rule 14e-2 promulgated under the Exchange Act with regard to any Company Acquisition Proposal, including any so called “stop, look and listen” communications, or making any other statement or disclosure that the Company determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that the failure of the Company to make such statement or disclosure would reasonably be expected to be a violation of applicable Law; provided that the Board of Directors of the Company may make a Company Change of Recommendation only in accordance with Section 7.5(e).

(b) The Company shall promptly, and in no event later than 24 hours after its receipt of any Company Acquisition Proposal, or any request for nonpublic information relating to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with a Company Acquisition Proposal, advise Parent orally and in writing of such Company Acquisition Proposal or request (including providing the identity of the Person making or submitting such Company Acquisition Proposal or request, and, (i) if it is in writing, a copy of such Company Acquisition Proposal and any related draft agreements and (ii) if oral, a reasonably detailed summary thereof that is made or submitted by any Person during the period between the date hereof and the Closing Date). The Company shall keep Parent informed on a prompt basis with respect to any change to the material terms of any such Company Acquisition Proposal (and in no event later than 24 hours following any such change), including providing Parent with a copy of any draft agreements and modifications thereof.

(c) Upon the execution of this Agreement, the Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries and its and their respective officers, directors and employees, and shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause its and their respective Representatives to, immediately cease and terminate any existing activities, discussions or negotiations between the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective officers, directors, employees or Representatives and any Person that relate to any Company Acquisition Proposal and shall use reasonable best efforts to obtain the prompt return or destruction of any confidential information previously furnished to such Persons with respect thereto within 12 months prior to the date hereof.

(d) Except as otherwise provided in Section 7.5(e), the Board of Directors of the Company (or any committee thereof) may not (i) withhold, withdraw or modify, or publicly propose to withhold, withdraw or modify, the Company Recommendation in a manner adverse to Parent or make any statement, filing or release, in connection with obtaining the Company Stockholder Approval or otherwise, inconsistent with the Company Recommendation, (ii) approve, endorse or recommend any Company Acquisition Proposal (any of the foregoing set forth in clauses (i) and (ii), a “Company Change of Recommendation”), or (iii) enter into a written definitive agreement providing for a Company Acquisition Transaction.

(e) The Board of Directors of the Company or any committee thereof may at any time prior to the earlier of the Acceptance Time or receipt of the Company Stockholder Approval (i) effect a Company Change of Recommendation in respect of a Company Acquisition Proposal, and/or (ii) if it elects to do so in connection with or following a Company Change of Recommendation, terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.1(d)(ii) in order to enter into a written definitive agreement providing for a Company Acquisition Transaction, if (and only if): (A) a Company Acquisition Proposal is made to the Company by a third party, and such offer is not withdrawn; (B) the Board of Directors of the Company or such committee thereof determines in good faith after consultation with outside legal counsel and a financial advisor that such offer constitutes a Company Superior Offer; (C) following consultation with outside legal counsel, the Board of Directors of the Company or such committee thereof determines that failure to take such action would be reasonably likely to result in a breach of its fiduciary duties under applicable Law; (D) the Company provides Parent five Business Days’ prior written notice of its intention to take such action (such five-Business Day period, the “Notice Period”), which notice shall include the information with respect to such Company Superior Offer that is specified in Section 7.5(b) (it being understood that any material revision or amendment to the terms of such Company Superior Offer shall require a new notice and, in such case, all references to five Business Days in this Section 7.5(e) shall be deemed to be two Business Days); and (E) at the end of the Notice Period described in clause (D), the Board of Directors of the Company or such committee thereof again makes the determination in good faith after consultation with outside legal counsel and a financial advisor (after negotiating in good faith with Parent and its Representatives if requested by Parent during the Notice Period regarding any adjustments or modifications to the terms of this Agreement proposed by Parent and taking into account any such adjustments or modifications) that the Company Acquisition Proposal continues to be a Company Superior Offer and, after consultation with outside legal counsel, that the failure to take such action would be reasonably likely to result in a breach of its fiduciary duties under applicable Law.

(f) During the period from the date of this Agreement through the Effective Time, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall terminate, amend, modify or waive any provision of any confidentiality agreement to which it is a party relating to a proposed business combination involving the Company or any standstill agreement to which it is a party unless the Board of Directors of the Company or any committee thereof determines in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel, that failure to take such action would be reasonably likely to result in a breach of its fiduciary duties under applicable Law. During such period, the Company or its Subsidiaries, as the case may be, shall enforce, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law, the provisions of any such agreement, including by obtaining injunctions to prevent any breaches of such agreements and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions thereof in each case except to the extent that the Board of Directors of the Company or any committee thereof determines in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel, that taking such action would be reasonably likely to result in a breach of its fiduciary duties under applicable Law.

7.6 Regulatory Filings; Efforts to Close.

(a) Filings and Submission of Information. Prior to the execution of this Agreement, each of Parent and the Company filed with the FTC and the DOJ the notification and report form required under the HSR Act for the Transactions (each, an “HSR Filing”), and representatives of the DOJ informed the parties that the DOJ is the Governmental Entity that would act under the HSR Act in respect of the Transactions. Neither Parent nor the Company will voluntarily withdraw its HSR Filing except that, upon notice to the Company, Parent may withdraw its HSR Filing in the event that counsel to Parent recommends that such action be taken to avoid a Second Request or the initiation of Agency Litigation, in which event Parent shall refile its HSR Filing (and Parent shall pay the fee required under the HSR Act in respect thereof) within two Business Days of its withdrawal; provided, however, that Parent may not voluntarily withdraw and refile its HSR Filing more than two times (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any refilling of an HSR Filing made by the Parent prior to the date of this Agreement) without the prior consent of the Company. Each of Parent and the Company shall promptly file with any Governmental Entity other than the DOJ any other filings, reports, information and documentation required in order to complete the Transactions under any Antitrust Laws other than the HSR Act. In the event that the DOJ or any other Governmental Entity requests additional information (other than pursuant to a Second Request or Agency Litigation, provision for which is made in Sections 7.6(b) and 7.6(c)), each of the parties shall respond thereto as promptly as practicable.

(b) Cooperation and Relationship of the Parties. Each of the parties hereto shall (i) furnish to each other’s counsel such necessary information and reasonable assistance as such other counsel may request in good faith in connection with its preparation of any filing or submission to any Governmental Entity under the HSR Act and any other Antitrust Laws, (ii) give the other parties prompt notice of any so-called “second request” for information by the DOJ pursuant to 16 C.F.R. §§ 801, et seq. (a “Second Request”) or any legal or other proceeding by or before any Governmental Entity with respect to the Transactions (“Agency Litigation”), and respond as promptly as practicable thereto with the objective of causing the Effective Time to occur as promptly as practicable, (iii) promptly inform the other parties of any communication with any Governmental Entity regarding any Second Request, Agency Litigation or the

Transactions and keep the other parties informed on a current basis as to the status of any such matter, (iv) consult and cooperate with each other in connection with any analysis, appearance, discussion, presentation, memorandum, brief, argument, opinion or proposal made or submitted to any Governmental Entity in connection with any proceeding or communication relating to the Transactions, and (v) to the extent practicable, except as may be prohibited by any Governmental Entity or by any legal requirement, permit authorized representatives of the other party to be present at each meeting or conference or telephone call with any representative of a Governmental Entity relating to any such proceeding and to have access to any document, opinion or proposal made or submitted to any Governmental Entity in connection with any such proceeding.

(c) Defense of Litigation, Etc. In the event that any administrative or judicial action or proceeding (including Agency Litigation) is instituted (or threatened to be instituted) by a Governmental Entity or private party challenging the Transactions, each of the parties shall cooperate in all respects with each other and use its respective commercially reasonable efforts to contest and resist any such action or proceeding and to have vacated, lifted, reversed or overturned any decree, judgment, injunction or other order, whether temporary, preliminary or permanent, that is in effect and that prohibits, prevents or restricts consummation of the Transactions or delays the Effective Time past the Termination Date (collectively, an “Injunction”); provided, however, that notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, including this Section 7.6(a), (b), (d) or (e), (i) Parent shall be entitled to direct the defense of any legal, administrative or judicial action or proceeding in respect of the Transactions, or negotiations with, any Governmental Entity or other Person relating thereto, or regulatory filings under applicable Antitrust Laws, (ii) the Company shall not make any offer, acceptance or counter-offer to or otherwise engage in negotiations or discussions with any Governmental Entity with respect to any proposed settlement, stay, toll, extension of any waiting period, consent decree, commitment or remedy, or, in the event of litigation, discovery, admissibility of evidence, timing or scheduling, except as specifically requested by or agreed with Parent or its counsel, and (iii) the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to provide full and effective support of Parent and its counsel in all such negotiations and discussions with representatives of any Governmental Entity to the extent requested by counsel to Parent. Each of the parties may, as each deems advisable and necessary, reasonably designate any competitively sensitive material provided to the other pursuant to this Section 7.6 as “Outside Counsel Only Material” and may redact from any information provided to the other party and its counsel any references to such party’s valuation of the other party.

(d) Reasonable Best Efforts. Each of the parties hereto shall (i) use its reasonable best efforts to obtain promptly (and in any event no later than the Termination Date) any clearance required under the HSR Act and any other Antitrust Laws for the consummation of the Transactions, (ii) use its reasonable best efforts to avoid or eliminate any impediment under any Antitrust Law, or regulation or rule, that may be asserted by any Governmental Entity, or any other Person, with respect to the Transactions so as to enable the Effective Time to occur expeditiously (and in any event no later than the Termination Date), (iii) use its reasonable best efforts to defend through Agency Litigation or, if applicable, other litigation on the merits any claim asserted in any court, administrative tribunal or hearing that the Transactions would violate any Law, or any regulation or rule of any Governmental Entity, in order to avoid entry of, or to have vacated or terminated, any Injunction, (iv) cause its respective inside and outside counsel to

cooperate in good faith with counsel and other representatives of each other party hereto and use its reasonable best efforts to facilitate and expedite the identification and resolution of any such issues and, consequently, the expiration of the applicable HSR Act waiting period and the waiting periods under any other Antitrust Laws at the earliest practicable dates (and in any event no later than the Termination Date), such reasonable best efforts and cooperation to include causing their respective inside and outside counsel (A) to keep each other appropriately informed on a current basis of communications from and to personnel of the reviewing antitrust authority and (B) to confer on a current basis with each other regarding appropriate contacts with and response to personnel of such antitrust authority, (v) use its reasonable best efforts to cause the conditions set forth in Exhibit A and Article VIII to be satisfied on a timely basis, subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 7.6, and (vi) prior to the Acceptance Time, not acquire any business involving annual revenues in excess of $25.0 million unless advised by counsel that in such counsel’s opinion so doing would not significantly increase the risk of an Injunction or materially delay the satisfaction of the condition set forth in paragraph 1(c) or paragraph 2(b) of Exhibit A.

(e) Parent’s Additional Covenants. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if necessary to avoid the entry of an Injunction sought or issued by the DOJ under United States Antitrust Laws (a “DOJ Impediment”), Parent’s covenants under Section 7.6(d) will include Parent being required hereunder to offer to the DOJ that it or its Subsidiaries take, and, if such offer is accepted by the DOJ, use its best efforts to eliminate any DOJ Impediment. For purposes of this Section 7.6(e), Parent’s “best efforts to eliminate any DOJ Impediment” as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence shall require that Parent use its best efforts to effect, such of the following as may be necessary to avoid a DOJ Impediment: (A) the sale, holding separate, licensing, modifying or otherwise disposing of all or any portion of the business, assets or properties of the Company or its Subsidiaries, whether located in or outside the United States, (B) conducting or limiting the conduct of the business, assets or properties of the Company or its Subsidiaries, whether located in or outside the United States, in a specified manner, or (C) the Company or its Subsidiaries’ entry with the DOJ into any agreement, settlement, order, other relief or action of a type referred to in clause (B) (a “Consent Decree”). The Company shall take, and cause its Subsidiaries to take, all actions reasonably necessary and requested by Parent to satisfy any Consent Decree; provided, however, that the effect thereof may at the Company’s or Parent’s request be subject to the occurrence of the Acceptance Time, the Effective Time or Parent’s waiver of all conditions to its obligations to consummate the Offer under Section 2(c) of Exhibit A hereof. It is understood and agreed by the parties that, for purposes of this Agreement, the effect of any action taken pursuant to this Section 7.6(e) will not, directly or indirectly, be deemed to result in (i) a breach of the representations and warranties of Parent or the Company in this Agreement or (ii) a failure of any condition set forth in Exhibit A.

7.7 Public Disclosure. Except with respect to any (a) Company Change of Recommendation undertaken pursuant to, and in accordance with, Section 7.5, so long as this Agreement is in effect, the parties hereto shall use reasonable best efforts to consult with each other before issuing any press release or making any public announcement primarily relating to the Transactions and, except for any press release or public announcement as may be required by applicable Law or any listing agreement with a securities exchange or quotation system (including Nasdaq) (and then only after as much advance notice and consultation as is feasible),

shall not issue any such press release or make any such public announcement without the consent of the other parties hereto, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Parent and the Company agree to issue a mutually acceptable initial joint press release announcing this Agreement.

7.8 Takeover Laws. Each of the Company and its Board of Directors and Parent and its Board of Directors shall, if any takeover statute or similar statute or regulation is or becomes applicable to the Transactions (including the acquisition of Company Shares and shares of Parent Common Stock), use reasonable best efforts to ensure that the Merger, the Offer and the Transactions may be consummated as promptly as practicable and such shares may be held on the terms contemplated hereby and otherwise to minimize the effect of such statute or regulation on this Agreement and the Transactions (including the ownership of such shares without limitation, including following the Acceptance Time and the Effective Time).

7.9 Indemnification. (a) From and after the Effective Time, Parent shall, and shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, indemnify and hold harmless all current and former directors, officers and employees, as the case may be, of the Company and its Subsidiaries to the fullest extent permitted by Law for acts or omissions occurring prior to the Effective Time (including acts or omissions occurring in connection with the approval of this Agreement and the consummation of the Transactions) in their capacities as such. Parent shall, and shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, fulfill and honor in all respects the obligations pursuant to any indemnification agreements between the Company or its Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and any current or former directors, officers and employees, as the case may be, of the Company and its Subsidiaries, on the other hand, in effect immediately prior to the date of this Agreement or, subject to the prior approval of Parent, after the date of this Agreement, and any indemnification provisions under the Company Charter Documents or the comparable charter or organizational documents of any of its Subsidiaries as in effect on the date hereof, in each case to the maximum extent permitted by Law, and shall not amend, repeal or otherwise modify any such provision in any manner that would adversely affect the rights of such indemnitee thereunder for any acts or omissions occurring prior to the Effective Time.

(b) Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall endeavor to enter into a directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy covering those Persons who, as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, are covered by the Company’s directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy (the “Insured Parties”) on terms no less favorable to the Insured Parties than those of the Company’s present directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy (such policy, a “Company D&O Policy”), for a period of seven years after the Effective Time. If the Company is unable to obtain such a Company D&O Policy prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to maintain in effect, for a period of seven years after the Closing Date, a Company D&O Policy with a creditworthy issuer; provided, however, that in no event shall Parent be required to expend annually more than 250% of the annual premium currently paid by the Company for such coverage (the approximate amount of which is set forth on Section 7.9(b) of the Company Disclosure Schedule) and, if the cost for such coverage is in excess of such amount, Parent shall be required only to maintain the maximum amount of coverage as is reasonably available for 250% of such annual premium.

(c) In the event that Parent or the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and is not the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers or conveys all or substantially all its properties and assets to any Person, Parent shall cause proper provisions to be made so that the successors and assigns of Parent or the Surviving Corporation assume the obligations set forth in this Section 7.9.

(d) The obligations of Parent and the Surviving Corporation under this Section 7.9 shall not be terminated or modified in such a manner as to adversely affect any indemnitee and/or Insured Party to whom this Section 7.9 applies without the express written consent of such affected indemnitee and Insured Party. It is expressly agreed that the indemnitees and/or Insured Parties to whom this Section 7.9 applies shall be third party beneficiaries of this Section 7.9.

(e) Parent shall assume, be jointly and severally liable for, and shall cause the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries to honor, in accordance with their respective terms, each of the covenants contained herein without limit as to time. Parent shall pay all reasonable expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, that may be incurred by any indemnitee and/or Insured Party in enforcing the indemnity and other obligations provided hereunder or other applicable indemnification obligation referenced to herein. The rights of each indemnitee and/or Insured Party hereunder shall be in addition to, and not in limitation of, any other rights such Person may have under the Company Charter Documents or the comparable charter or organizational documents of any Subsidiary of the Company, or any other indemnification arrangement or otherwise.

7.10 Nasdaq Listing. Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the shares of Parent Common Stock to be issued in the Offer and the Merger to be approved for listing prior to the issuance thereof on the Nasdaq Global Select Market or on such other national securities exchange as the Parent Common Stock is listed.

7.11 Employee Matters. (a) It is Parent’s and the Company’s intention that, for a period of one year following the Effective Time, individuals who are employed by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries immediately prior to the Effective Time and that continue to be employed by Parent or any of its Subsidiaries, including the Surviving Corporation, following the Effective Time (each, a “Post-Merger Employee”) shall be provided with salaries and benefits that are in the aggregate approximately equal to the salaries and benefits (other than equity compensation) they received prior to the Effective Time, it being understood that Parent shall review the salaries and benefits of its and its Subsidiaries’ employees from time to time in order to determine the most appropriate way to compensate and incentivize Post-Merger Employees, and accordingly may make such changes in the compensation and benefits that Parent determines to be in the best interests of Parent from time to time.

(b) It is Parent’s and the Company’s intention that, each Post-Merger Employee shall be given credit for all service with the Company and its Subsidiaries and their respective predecessors under any employee benefit plan of Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of their Subsidiaries, including any such plans providing vacation, sick pay, severance and retirement benefits maintained by Parent or its Subsidiaries in which such Post-Merger

Employees participate for purposes of eligibility, vesting and entitlement to benefits, including for severance benefits and vacation entitlement (but not for accrual of pension benefits), to the extent past service was recognized for such Post-Merger Employees under the comparable Company Employee Plans immediately prior to the Effective Time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 7.11 shall be construed to require crediting of service that would result in (i) duplication of benefits or (ii) service credit for benefit accruals under a defined benefit pension plan.

(c) In the event of any change in the welfare benefits provided to Post-Merger Employees following the Effective Time, it is Parent’s and the Company’s intention that Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause (i) the waiver of all limitations as to pre-existing conditions, exclusions and waiting periods with respect to participation and coverage requirements applicable to the Post-Merger Employees (and their eligible dependents) under any welfare benefit plans in which Post-Merger Employees participate following the Effective Time, to the extent that such conditions, exclusions or waiting periods would not apply in the absence of such change, and (ii) for the plan year in which the Effective Time occurs, the crediting of each Post-Merger Employee (or his or her eligible dependents) with any co-payments and deductibles paid prior to any such change in satisfying any applicable deductible or out-of-pocket requirements after such change.

(d) Nothing in this Section 7.11, express or implied, shall confer upon any Company Employee, or any legal representative or beneficiary thereof, any rights or remedies, including any right to employment or continued employment for any specified period, or compensation or benefits of any nature or kind whatsoever under this Agreement. Nothing in this Section 7.11, express or implied, shall be construed to prevent Parent from terminating or modifying to any extent or in any respect any benefit plan that Parent may establish or maintain. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 7.11, nothing contained in this Agreement shall be treated as an amendment to any Company Employee Plan or creation of an employee benefit plan.

7.12 Section 16 Matters. Parent and the Company agree that, in order to most effectively compensate and retain the Company Insiders in connection with the Offer and the Merger, both prior to and after the Effective Time, it is desirable that the conversion or exchange of Company Shares into shares of Parent Common Stock in the Offer or the Merger by the Company Insiders be exempted from liability under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act to the fullest extent permitted by Law, and for that compensatory and retentive purpose agree to the provisions of this Section 7.12. Assuming that the Company delivers to Parent the Section 16 Information in a timely fashion, the Board of Directors of Parent, or a committee of Non-Employee Directors thereof (as such term is defined for purposes of Rule 16b-3(d) under the Exchange Act), shall adopt a resolution providing that the receipt by the Company Insiders of Parent Common Stock in exchange for Company Shares pursuant to the Transactions and to the extent such securities are listed in the Section 16 Information, are intended to be exempt from liability pursuant to Section 16(b) under the Exchange Act. For the purposes of this Agreement, “Section 16 Information” shall mean information that is accurate in all material respects and provides reasonably specific details regarding the identity of the Company Insiders and the number of Company Shares held by each such Company Insider to be exchanged for Parent Common Stock in the Offer or the Merger; and “Company Insiders” shall mean those officers

and directors of the Company who may be subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act on or following the Acceptance Time or the Effective Time and who are listed in the Section 16 Information.

7.13 Stockholder Litigation. Each party hereto shall promptly advise the other orally and in writing of any litigation commenced or threatened in writing to be commenced by any stockholder of such party against such party and/or any of its directors relating to the Transactions, the transactions with Fundtech and/or the Fundtech Merger Agreement, and shall keep the other party fully informed regarding any such litigation. Each party shall give the other the opportunity to participate in, subject to a customary joint defense agreement, the defense or settlement of any such litigation, shall give due consideration to the other’s advice with respect to such litigation and shall not settle any such litigation without the prior written consent of the other party (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

7.14 Obligations of Merger Sub. Parent shall take all action necessary to cause Merger Sub to perform its obligations under this Agreement and to consummate the Offer and the Merger on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement. Parent hereby guarantees the due, prompt and faithful performance and discharge by, and compliance with, all of the obligations, covenants, terms, conditions and undertakings of Merger Sub under this Agreement in accordance with the terms hereof, including any such obligations, covenants, terms, conditions and undertaking that are required to be performed, discharged or complied with following the Effective Time.

7.15 Financing. (a) Parent shall take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things reasonably necessary to obtain the Financing. If any portion of the Financing becomes unavailable on the terms and conditions (including the flex provisions) contemplated in the Financing Agreement, Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts to arrange and obtain alternative financing from alternative sources in an amount sufficient to consummate the Transactions (“Alternative Financing”) as promptly as practicable following the occurrence of such event but no later than the Business Day immediately prior to the Closing Date.

(b) Prior to the Effective Time, upon the request of Parent, the Company will, and shall instruct its Subsidiaries and its and their directors, officers and other Representatives to, cooperate reasonably with Parent in connection with the Financing or Alternative Financing, including by (i) making senior management of the Company available to participate in meetings and road shows, if any, (ii) providing on a timely basis information reasonably requested by Parent relating to the Financing or Alternative Financing, (iii) preparing in a timely manner business projections and financial statements (including pro forma financial statements), (iv) assisting in a timely manner in the preparation of offering memoranda, private placement memoranda, prospectuses and similar documents, (v) providing such assistance as Parent may reasonably require in procuring a corporate credit rating for Parent from Standard & Poor’s Rating Services and a corporate family credit rating for Parent from ▇▇▇▇▇’▇ Investor Services, Inc., (vi) obtaining the consent of, and customary comfort letters from, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (including by providing customary management letters and requesting legal letters to obtain such consent) if necessary or desirable for Parent’s use of the Company’s financial statements in connection with the Financing or the Alternative Financing, (vii) using commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that the syndication effort of the lenders to Parent benefit materially from the

existing lending relationships of the Company, and (viii) providing other financial information and documents as may be reasonably requested by Parent for such the Financing or Alternative Financing, including (A) confirmation of public or non-public nature of information provided, (B) closing certificates and documents and information reasonably necessary to facilitate the pledge of collateral (including the release of any encumbrances on the assets of the Company), and (C) providing such documentation and other information to Parent’s lenders that is required by regulatory authorities under applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including the Patriot Act. Without limiting the generality or effect of the foregoing, all financial and other projections concerning the Company that are made available by the Company to Parent after the date of this Agreement shall be prepared in good faith and shall be based upon assumptions that are reasonable at the time made. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (1) such requested cooperation shall not unreasonably interfere with the ongoing operations of the Company and (2) the Company shall not be required to pay any commitment or other similar fee or incur any other liability in connection with the Financing or Alternative Financing prior to the Effective Time. The Company hereby consents to the reasonable use of the Company’s and the Company’s Subsidiaries’ logos in connection with the Financing or Alternative Financing, provided that such logos are used solely in a manner that is not intended to or reasonably likely to harm or disparage the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries or the reputation or goodwill of the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries or any of their logos and on such other customary terms and conditions as the Company may reasonably impose.

(c) Subsequent Financial Statements. The Company will, if it determines that doing so is practicable, prior to making publicly available its financial results for any period after the date of this Agreement and prior to filing any report or document with the SEC after the date of this Agreement, furnish drafts of such documents to Parent, it being understood that Parent will have no liability by reason of such consultation.

7.16 No Control of the Company’s Business. Nothing contained in this Agreement will give Parent, directly or indirectly, the right to control or direct the Company’s or its Subsidiaries’ operations prior to the Effective Time. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall exercise, consistent with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, complete control and supervision over its and its Subsidiaries’ respective operations.

7.17 Non-Disparagement. Promptly and in any event within two Business Days after the date of this Agreement, each of the Company and Parent shall instruct its sales and marketing personnel to comply with the principles set forth in Schedule 7.17. Thereafter, if any executive officer of either the Company or Parent obtains actual knowledge that such personnel did not comply with such requirements, the Company or Parent, as applicable, shall take steps that it believes in good faith to be appropriate to remedy the situation.

7.18 Dealer Manager. Prior to the Acceptance Time, each of Parent and the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to comply with the obligations set forth in the dealer manager agreement to which Parent is a party.

may enter into any agreement providing for a Company Acquisition Transaction simultaneously with the termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.1(d)(ii).

A party hereto may only terminate this Agreement if such termination has been duly authorized by an action of the Board of Directors of such party.

9.2 Notice of Termination; Effect of Termination. A party desiring to terminate this Agreement shall give written notice of such termination to the other party, specifying the provision pursuant to which such termination is effective. In the event of the termination of this Agreement as provided in Section 9.1, this Agreement shall be of no further force and effect, except (i) each of this Section 9.2, Section 9.3 and Article X shall survive the termination of this Agreement and (ii) nothing herein shall relieve any party from liability for any material breach of this Agreement occurring prior to the termination of this Agreement that was committed intentionally by the breaching party or resulted from the breaching party’s gross negligence. No termination of this Agreement shall affect the obligations of the parties contained in the Non-Disclosure Agreement, all of which obligations shall survive termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms.

9.3 Fees and Expenses. (a) Other than as specifically provided in this Section 9.3 or otherwise agreed to in writing by the parties hereto, all costs and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the Transactions shall be paid by the party incurring such costs or expenses, whether or not the Merger is consummated.

(iii) (A) if this Agreement is terminated (1) by Parent pursuant to Section 9.1(c)(ii), (2) by the Company or Parent pursuant to Section 9.1(b)(iii), or (3) by the Company or Parent pursuant to Section 9.1(b)(i), and in any such case of (1), (2) or (3) above, a Company Acquisition Proposal (including a previously communicated Company Acquisition Proposal) shall have been publicly announced or otherwise communicated to a member of senior management or the Board of Directors of the Company (or any Person shall have publicly announced or communicated a bona fide intention, whether or not conditional, to make a Company Acquisition Proposal) at any time after the date of this Agreement and prior to the Acceptance Time, in the case of clause (2), or the date of termination, in the case of clauses (1) or (3), and (B) if within 12 months after the date of such termination, the Company enters into a definitive agreement

to consummate, or consummates, any Company Acquisition Transaction, then the Company shall pay to Parent the Company Termination Fee by the second Business Day following the date the Company enters into such definitive agreement or consummates such transaction; provided, however, that, solely for purposes of this Section 9.3(b)(iii), references in the definition of “Company Acquisition Transaction” to 20% shall be deemed to mean 50%.

(c) All amounts paid pursuant to this Section 9.3 shall be by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account directed by the party hereto entitled to payment as long as such account has been identified by such party. Each party hereto agrees that the agreements contained in this Section 9.3 are an integral part of the Transactions, 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 under this Section 9.3 and, in order to obtain such payment, the other party commences a suit that results in a judgment against the party failing to pay for such amounts, then the party failing to pay such amounts shall pay interest on such amounts from the date payment of such amounts was due to the date of actual payment at the prime rate of the Bank of New York in effect on the date such payment was due, together with the reasonable, documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the party seeking collection (including reasonable legal fees and expenses) in connection with such suit.

Exhibit A

CONDITIONS TO THE OFFER

1. Merger Sub will not be required to accept for payment or, subject to any applicable rules and regulations of the SEC, including Rule 14e-1(c) under the Exchange Act (relating to Merger Sub’s obligation to pay for or return tendered Shares promptly after the termination or withdrawal of the Offer), to pay for any Company Shares tendered pursuant to the Offer, unless, immediately prior to the then-applicable Expiration Time:

(a) Company stockholders have validly tendered and not properly withdrawn prior to the Expiration Time at least that number of Company Shares (together with the Company Shares then owned by Parent, Merger Sub or any of Parent’s other Subsidiaries), as shall constitute a majority of the Company Shares issued and outstanding on a fully diluted basis on the date of purchase (the “Minimum Tender Condition”);

(b) the Registration Statement has been declared effective under the Securities Act, and no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement has been issued or proceedings for that purpose have been initiated or threatened by the SEC, and Parent has received all necessary state securities law or “blue sky” authorizations; and

2. Additionally, Merger Sub will not be required to accept for payment or, subject to any applicable rules and regulations of the SEC, including Rule 14e-1(c) under the Exchange Act (relating to Merger Sub’s obligation to pay for or return tendered Shares promptly after the termination or withdrawal of the Offer), to pay for any Company Shares tendered pursuant to the Offer if, immediately prior to the then-applicable Expiration Time, any of the following conditions exists:

(a) a Governmental Entity shall have enacted, issued, promulgated, enforced or entered any Law (including any injunction or other order, whether temporary, preliminary or permanent) which is in effect and which has the effect of making the Offer or the Merger illegal or otherwise prohibiting consummation of the Offer or the Merger;

(i) any clearance, approval, permit, authorization, waiver, determination, favorable review or consent of any Governmental Entity, other than the HSR Condition, has not been obtained or shall not be in full force and effect, or any applicable waiting periods for such clearances or approvals shall not have expired, except for any failures that would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on Parent or the Company; or

(b) any of the following fail to be true:

(i) (A) the representations and warranties of the Company set forth in Sections 4.1, 4.3, 4.4(a), 4.7, 4.18 and 4.20 shall have been true and correct as of the date of this Agreement and shall be true and correct on and as of the Expiration Time with the same force and effect as if made at the Expiration Time

(in either case other than those representations and warranties which address matters only as of a particular date, which representations and warranties shall have been true and correct as of such particular date), except in either case contemplated by this clause (A) for de minimis inaccuracies and (B) the other representations and warranties of the Company set forth in this Agreement shall have been true and correct as of the date of this Agreement and shall be true and correct on and as of the Expiration Time with the same force and effect as if made on the Expiration Time (in either case other than those representations and warranties which address matters only as of a particular date, which representations shall have been true and correct as of such particular date), except in either case contemplated by this clause (B) where the failure of such representations and warranties to be true and correct (disregarding all qualifications or limitations as to materiality, Material Adverse Effect or words of similar import set forth therein) has not had and would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on the Company;

(ii) the Company shall have performed or complied in all material respects with all agreements and covenants required by this Agreement to be performed or complied with by it on or prior to the Expiration Time; and

(iii) since the date of this Agreement, there shall not have occurred any Material Adverse Effect with respect to the Company.

The foregoing conditions are for the sole benefit of Merger Sub and Parent and may be asserted by Merger Sub or Parent regardless of the circumstances giving rise to any such condition, in whole or in part at any applicable time or from time to time in their sole discretion prior to the expiration of the Offer, except that the conditions relating to receipt of any approvals from any Governmental Entity may be asserted at any time prior to the acceptance for payment of Company Shares, and all conditions (except for the Minimum Tender Condition) may be waived by Parent or Merger Sub in their sole discretion in whole or in part at any applicable time or from time to time, in each case subject to the terms and conditions of the Agreement and the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC. The failure of Parent or Merger Sub at any time to exercise any of the foregoing rights shall not be deemed a waiver of any such right and each such right shall be deemed an ongoing right that may be asserted at any time and from time to time.

Capitalized terms used in this Exhibit A and not otherwise defined shall have the respective meanings assigned thereto in this Agreement.
