NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants, representations, warranties and agreements contained in this Agreement, the Parties agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

THE MERGER

Section 1.01 The Merger. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, at the Effective Time (as defined in Section 1.03), Merger Sub shall be merged with and into the Company and the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub shall thereupon cease. The Company shall be the surviving corporation in the Merger (sometimes hereinafter referred to as the “Surviving Corporation”), and the separate corporate existence of the Company, with all its rights, privileges, immunities, powers and franchises, shall continue unaffected by the Merger. The Merger shall have the effects specified in the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”).

Section 1.02 Closing. Unless otherwise mutually agreed in writing between the Company and Purchaser, the closing for the Merger (the “Closing”) shall take place at the offices of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ LLP, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇ the first business day

of the first calendar month (the “Closing Date”) that follows the month in which the last to be satisfied or waived of the conditions set forth in Article VII (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the fulfillment or waiver of those conditions) shall be satisfied or waived in accordance with this Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “business day” shall mean any day ending at 11:59 p.m. (Pacific Time) other than a Saturday or Sunday or a day on which banks are required or authorized to close in the City of San Francisco.

Section 1.03 Effective Time. As soon as practicable following the Closing, the Company and Purchaser shall cause a Certificate of Merger (the “Delaware Certificate of Merger”) to be executed, acknowledged and filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware as provided in Section 251 of the DGCL. The Merger shall become effective at the time (i) when the Delaware Certificate of Merger has been duly filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware or (ii) at such later time as may be agreed by the Parties in writing and specified in the Delaware Certificate of Merger (in each case, the “Effective Time”).

Section 1.04 Certificate of Incorporation. The certificate of incorporation of the Company shall be amended at the Effective Time to read in its entirety as set forth in Exhibit A and, as so amended, shall be the certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation (the “Charter”), until thereafter duly amended as provided therein or by applicable Laws.

Section 1.05 Bylaws. The Parties shall take all actions necessary so that the bylaws of Merger Sub in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the bylaws of the Surviving Corporation (the “Bylaws”), until thereafter amended as provided therein or by applicable Law.

Section 1.06 Directors. The Parties hereto shall take all actions necessary so that the directors of Merger Sub at the Effective Time shall, from and after the Effective Time, be the directors of the Surviving Corporation until their successors have been duly elected or appointed and qualified or until their earlier death, resignation or removal in accordance with the Charter and the Bylaws.

Section 1.07 Bank Merger. As soon as practicable after the execution and delivery of this Agreement, Bank and Union Bank, N.A., a wholly owned subsidiary of Purchaser and a national banking association, duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the National Bank Act, 12 U.S.C. § 1 et seq. (“Purchaser Bank”), will enter into a mutually agreed form of agreement, pursuant to which Bank will merge or consolidate with and into Purchaser Bank following the Effective Time (the “Bank Merger”) in accordance with the provisions of 12 U.S.C. §215a and 12 U.S.C. §1828(c). The Parties intend that the Bank Merger will become effective immediately following the Effective Time.

ARTICLE II

EFFECT OF THE MERGER ON CAPITAL STOCK;

EXCHANGE OF CERTIFICATES

Section 2.01 Effect on Capital Stock. At the Effective Time, as a result of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder of any capital stock of the Company:

(a) Merger Consideration. Each share of the Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), of the Company (a “Share” or, collectively, the “Shares”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than (i) the Excluded Shares and (ii) Shares that are owned by stockholders (“Dissenting Stockholders”) who have perfected and not effectively withdrawn a demand for appraisal rights pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL (“Dissenting Shares”)) shall be converted into the right to receive $46.00 per Share (the “Per Share Merger Consideration”), without interest. At the Effective Time, all the Shares shall cease to be outstanding, shall be cancelled and shall cease to exist, and each certificate (a “Certificate”) formerly representing any of the Shares (other than Excluded Shares and Dissenting Shares) shall thereafter represent only the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration, without interest.

(b) Cancellation of Excluded Shares. Each Excluded Share shall, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, cease to be outstanding, be cancelled without payment of any consideration therefor and shall cease to exist, subject only to any rights the holder thereof may have under Section 2.02(f).

(c) Dissenting Shares. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the holders of any Dissenting Share shall be entitled only to such rights and payments as are granted by Section 262 of the DGCL; provided, however, that if any such holder shall effectively waive, withdraw or lose such holder’s rights under Section 262 of the DGCL, each of such holder’s Dissenting Shares shall thereupon be deemed to have been converted at the Effective Time into the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration, without interest and after giving effect to any required Tax withholdings as provided in Section 2.02(g), and such holder thereof shall cease to have any other rights with respect thereto.

(d) Merger Sub. At the Effective Time, each share of Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share, of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into one share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Surviving Corporation.

Section 2.02 Exchange of Certificate.

(a) Paying Agent. At the Effective Time, Purchaser shall make available or cause to be made available to a paying agent selected by Purchaser with the Company’s prior approval (such approval not to be unreasonably conditioned, withheld or delayed) (the “Paying Agent”), for the benefit of the holders of Shares, a cash amount in immediately available funds necessary for the Paying Agent to make payments under Section 2.01(a) (such cash being hereinafter referred to as the “Exchange Fund”).

- 3 -

(b) Exchange Procedures. Promptly after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall cause the Paying Agent to mail to each holder of record of Shares (other than holders of Excluded Shares) (i) a letter of transmittal in customary form specifying that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of the Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu of the Certificates as provided in Section 2.02(e)) to the Paying Agent, such letter of transmittal to be in such form and have such other provisions as Purchaser and the Company may reasonably agree, and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu of the Certificates as provided in Section 2.02(e)) in exchange for the Per Share Merger Consideration. Upon surrender of a Certificate (or affidavit of loss in lieu of the Certificate as provided in Section 2.02(e)) to the Paying Agent in accordance with the terms of such letter of transmittal, duly executed, the holder of such Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor a cash amount in immediately available funds (after giving effect to any required Tax withholdings as provided in Section 2.02(g)) equal to (x) the number of Shares represented by such Certificate (or affidavit of loss in lieu of the Certificate as provided in Section 2.02(e)) multiplied by (y) the Per Share Merger Consideration, and the Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled. No interest will be paid or accrued on any amount payable upon due surrender of the Certificates. In the event of a transfer of ownership of Shares that is not registered in the transfer records of the Company, a check for any cash to be exchanged upon due surrender of the Certificate may be issued to such transferee if the Certificate previously representing such Shares is presented to the Paying Agent, accompanied by all documents required to evidence and effect such transfer and to evidence that any applicable stock transfer taxes have been paid or are not applicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (1) in the case of the Treasury Department and (2) in the event that the Requisite Stockholder Approval in the form of the Written Consent is delivered to the Company in accordance with Section 6.09, any stockholder of the Company who shall have executed and delivered such Written Consent, Purchaser shall, or shall cause the Paying Agent to, from and after the Effective Time, deliver the foregoing payments required under this Section 2.02(b) to the Treasury Department and/or any such stockholder, as applicable, immediately upon surrender by the Treasury Department and/or any such stockholder, respectively, of its Certificates, without any requirement in respect of such letter of transmittal.

(c) No Transfers. From and after the Effective Time, there shall be no transfers on the stock transfer books of the Company of the Shares that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, any Certificate is presented to the Surviving Corporation, Purchaser or the Paying Agent for transfer, it shall be cancelled and exchanged for the cash amount in immediately available funds to which the holder of the Certificate is entitled pursuant to this Article II.

(d) Termination of Exchange Fund. Any portion of the Exchange Fund (including the proceeds of any investments thereof) that remains unclaimed by the stockholders of the Company for one hundred eighty (180) days after the Effective Time shall be delivered to the Surviving Corporation. Any holder of Shares (other than Excluded Shares) who has not theretofore complied with this Article II shall thereafter look only to the Surviving Corporation for payment of the Per Share Merger Consideration (after giving effect to any required Tax withholdings as provided in Section 2.02(g)) upon due surrender of its Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu of the Certificates), without any interest thereon. Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the Surviving Corporation, Purchaser, the Paying Agent or any other Person shall be liable to any former holder of Shares for any amount properly delivered to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Laws.

- 4 -

(e) Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. In the event any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by Purchaser, the posting by such Person of a bond in customary amount and upon such terms as may be required by Purchaser as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it or the Surviving Corporation with respect to such Certificate, the Paying Agent will issue a check in the amount (after giving effect to any required Tax withholdings) equal to the number of Shares represented by such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate multiplied by the Per Share Merger Consideration.

(f) Appraisal Rights. No Person who has perfected a demand for appraisal rights pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL shall be entitled to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration with respect to the Shares owned by such Person unless and until such Person shall have effectively withdrawn or lost such Person’s right to appraisal under the DGCL. Each Dissenting Stockholder shall be entitled to receive only the payment provided by Section 262 of the DGCL with respect to Shares owned by such Dissenting Stockholder. The Company shall give Purchaser (i) reasonably prompt notice of any written demands for appraisal, attempted withdrawals of such demands, and any other instruments served pursuant to applicable Law that are received by the Company relating to stockholders’ rights of appraisal and (ii) the opportunity to direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to demand for appraisal under Section 262 of the DGCL. The Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of Purchaser, voluntarily make any payment with respect to any demands for appraisal, offer to settle or settle any such demands or approve any withdrawal of any such demands.

(g) Withholding Rights. Each of Purchaser and the Surviving Corporation shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder of Shares such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”) or any other applicable state, local or foreign Tax Laws. To the extent that amounts are so withheld by the Surviving Corporation or Purchaser, as the case may be, such withheld amounts (i) shall be remitted by Purchaser or the Surviving Corporation, as applicable, to the applicable Governmental Entity, and (ii) to the extent so remitted, shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of Shares in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made by the Surviving Corporation or Purchaser, as the case may be.

Section 2.03 Stock Options.

(a) At the Effective Time, each outstanding option to purchase shares of Common Stock under the Company Stock Plans (each, a “Company Option”), whether vested or unvested immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall, automatically and without any required action on the part of the holder thereof, be cancelled and converted into only the right to receive an amount in cash (subject, in each case, to any withholding as provided in Section 2.02(g) and to Purchaser’s receipt of an option surrender agreement in the form set forth on Section 2.05 of the Company Disclosure Schedule) equal to the product of (A) the positive difference, if any, of the Per Share Merger Consideration minus the exercise price per share of such Company Option

- 5 -

multiplied by (B) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of such Company Option as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, which amount shall be payable as soon as reasonably practicable following the Effective Time and in no event later than five (5) business days after the Effective Time. To the extent the exercise price of a Company Option is greater than or equal to the Per Share Merger Consideration, such Company Option shall be cancelled for no consideration. As used in this Agreement, the term “Company Stock Plans” means the plans set forth in Section 2.03(a) of the Company Disclosure Schedule.

Section 2.04 Company Restricted Shares. Each share of Common Stock subject to vesting, repurchase or other lapse restrictions pursuant to any of the Company Stock Plans (each, a “Company Restricted Share”) that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall vest in full and become free of such restrictions and any repurchase right shall lapse, as of the Effective Time and, at the Effective Time, the holder thereof shall be entitled to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration (subject to any withholdings as provided in Section 2.02(g)) with respect to each such Company Restricted Share in accordance with Section 2.01(a).

Section 2.05 Other Stock-Based Awards. At the Effective Time, each right of any kind, contingent or accrued, to receive shares of Common Stock or benefits measured by the value of a number of shares of Common Stock, and each award of any kind consisting of shares of Common Stock, including a deferred share of Common Stock, granted under any of the Company Stock Plans that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than the Treasury Warrant, Company Options and the Company Restricted Shares) (each, a “Company Stock Award”) shall vest in full and be cancelled and converted into only the right to receive an amount in cash (subject, in each case, to any withholding as provided in Section 2.02(g) and to Purchaser’s receipt of a stock-based award surrender agreement in the form set forth on Section 2.05 of the Company Disclosure Schedule) equal to the product of (A) the Per Share Merger Consideration multiplied by (B) the number of shares of Common Stock subject to such Company Stock Award as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, which amount shall be payable as soon as reasonably practicable following the Effective Time and in no event later than five (5) business days after the Effective Time; provided that, if a Company Stock Award constitutes “non-qualified deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, the cash payment in respect of such Company Stock Award as determined hereunder shall be paid at such time or times as is provided under the applicable plan or award agreement governing such Company Stock Award.

Section 2.06 Treasury Warrants.

(a) At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, each outstanding Treasury Warrant (as defined in Section 3.02(b)), shall cease to represent a warrant to purchase Common Stock and shall be converted automatically into a right to exercise such Treasury Warrant in accordance with the terms of such Treasury Warrant to receive an amount in cash (subject to any withholding as provided in Section 2.02(g)) equal to (A) the Per Share Merger Consideration multiplied by (B) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of such Treasury Warrant immediately prior to the Effective Time (the “Treasury Warrant Consideration”), which amount shall be payable following the Effective Time in accordance with Section 2.06(b).

- 6 -

(b) The foregoing payment set forth in clause (a) may be made by Purchaser or any of its Affiliates, or at Purchaser’s election, the Paying Agent. From and after the Effective Time, Purchaser shall, or shall cause the Paying Agent to, deliver the Treasury Warrant Consideration to the U.S. Department of the Treasury (“Treasury Department”) or any other holder of Treasury Warrants (solely with respect to shares of Common Stock covered by such Treasury Warrants) immediately upon surrender by such holder of its Treasury Warrants and payment of the then-applicable exercise price in respect thereof in accordance with the terms of such Treasury Warrants (it being agreed that to the extent practicable, the Treasury Warrant shall be net settled). In the event any Treasury Warrants shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, a holder of such Treasury Warrants shall have to make and deliver to Purchaser or the Surviving Corporation an affidavit of that fact by such holder and an agreement in form reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser indemnifying Purchaser and the Surviving Corporation against any claim that may be made against Purchaser or the Surviving Corporation with respect to such Treasury Warrants.

ARTICLE III

- 41 -

Closing to occur as soon as possible, including proffering to, or agreeing to, and effecting, by consent decree, hold separate order, or otherwise, the sale, divestiture, lease, license, transfer, disposition, encumbering or holding separate of any assets, licenses, operations, rights, product lines, businesses or interest therein of Purchaser, the Company or any of their respective Subsidiaries; provided, however, that nothing in this Agreement, including this Section 6.01, shall require, or be construed to require, Purchaser or any of its Affiliates to (x) proffer to, or agree to, sell, divest, lease, license, transfer, dispose of or otherwise encumber or hold separate and agree to sell, divest, lease, license, transfer, dispose of or otherwise encumber before or after the Effective Time, any assets, licenses, operations, rights, product lines, businesses or interest therein of Purchaser, the Company or any of their respective Affiliates (or to consent to any sale, divestiture, lease, license, transfer, disposition or other encumberment by the Company of any of its assets, licenses, operations, rights, product lines, businesses or interest therein or to any agreement by the Company to take any of the foregoing actions), (y) agree to any conditions or make any commitments that are not comparable to those imposed in connection with comparable transactions in the United States and that would not be reasonably foreseeable based upon publicly available information or discussions or communications prior to the date of this Agreement involving Purchaser or any of its Affiliates and representatives of any SRO or Government Entity, or (z) agree to any material changes (including, without limitation, through a licensing arrangement) or restriction on, or other impairment of Purchaser’s ability to own or operate, any of any such assets, licenses, operations, rights, product lines, businesses or interests therein or Purchaser’s or any of its Affiliates’ ability to vote, transfer, receive dividends or otherwise exercise full ownership rights with respect to the stock of the Surviving Corporation, in each case of clauses (x), (y) and (z), to the extent that any such actions would have a material adverse effect after the Effective Time on the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or on Purchaser and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or on Parent’s ultimate parent company, in each case measured on a scale relative to the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole (a “Burdensome Condition”).

(d) Each of Purchaser and the Company shall promptly advise the other upon receiving (including through their respective Affiliates) any communication from any SRO or Governmental Entity the consent or approval of which is required for consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement that causes such Party to believe that there is a reasonable likelihood that any Requisite Regulatory Consent or the JFSA Approval will not be obtained without the imposition of a Burdensome Condition or that the receipt of any such approval may be delayed.

(e) Purchaser agrees to execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, by or on behalf of the Surviving Company, at or prior to the Effective Time, one or more supplemental indentures, guarantees, and other instruments required for the due assumption of Company’s outstanding debt, guarantees, securities, and other agreements listed on Section 6.01(e) of the Company Disclosure Schedule to the extent required by the terms of such debt, guarantees, securities, and other agreements.

(a) Upon reasonable notice and subject to applicable Laws, the Company shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, afford to the officers, directors, employees,

Upon the reasonable request of the Company, Purchaser shall furnish such reasonable information about it and its Affiliates as is relevant to the Company and its shareholders in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Neither the Company, Purchaser nor any of their respective Affiliates shall be required to provide access to or to disclose information where such access or disclosure would jeopardize the attorney-client privilege of such party or contravene any Law, fiduciary duty or Order or binding Contract entered into prior to the date of this Agreement. The Parties shall make appropriate substitute disclosure arrangements under circumstances in which the restrictions of the preceding sentence apply.

(b) All nonpublic information and materials provided prior to the date of this Agreement shall be subject to the provisions of the confidentiality agreement entered into between the Parties as of January 19, 2012 (the “Confidentiality Agreement”) and all nonpublic information and materials provided on or after the date of this Agreement shall be subject to the provisions of the non-disclosure agreement entered into between the Parties as of the date of this Agreement (the “Non-Disclosure Agreement”).

(c) No investigation by a party hereto or its representatives shall affect or be deemed to modify or waive any representations, warranties or covenants of the other Party set forth in this Agreement.

Section 6.03 Employee Matters.

(a) Following the Closing Date, Purchaser shall maintain or cause to be maintained employee benefit plans and compensation opportunities for the benefit of Employees who are actively employed by the Company or its Subsidiaries on the Closing Date (“Covered Employees”) that provide employee benefits and compensation opportunities that, in the aggregate, are no less favorable than the employee benefits (other than severance benefits, which, for the avoidance of doubt, are governed under Section 6.03(b)) and compensation opportunities that are generally made available to similarly situated employees of Purchaser or its Subsidiaries (other than the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries) (collectively, the “Purchaser Plans”), as applicable; provided that (i) with respect to retirement benefits, satisfaction of the foregoing standard shall not require that any Covered Employee be eligible to participate in any specific retirement plan of Purchaser or a closed or frozen Purchaser Plan; and (ii) until such time as Purchaser shall cause Covered Employees to participate in the Purchaser Plans, a Covered Employee’s continued participation in the employee benefit plans and compensation opportunities of the Company and its Subsidiaries as in effect immediately prior to the Closing Date shall be deemed to satisfy the foregoing provisions of this sentence (it being understood that participation in the Purchaser Plans may commence at different times with respect to each Purchaser Plan).

- 43 -

(b) Purchaser shall provide severance benefits in accordance with the terms and conditions of the special severance policy set forth on Section 6.03(b) of the Purchaser Disclosure Schedule (“Special Severance Policy”) to Covered Employees who experience a qualifying termination of employment with Purchaser, the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective Subsidiaries during the period beginning on the Closing Date and ending on the 60^th day following the first anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Special Severance Period”). Each Covered Employee whose employment is terminated after the Special Severance Period shall be eligible to participate in Purchaser’s regular separation and severance pay programs on the same terms and conditions as other similarly-situated employees of Purchaser.

(c) To the extent that a Covered Employee becomes eligible to participate in a Purchaser Plan, Purchaser shall cause such plan to (i) recognize the service of such Covered Employee with the Company or its Subsidiaries for purposes of eligibility, vesting and benefit accrual (other than for purposes of eligibility, vesting and benefit accruals under any Purchaser Plan that is a defined benefit pension plan or a retiree medical plan )under such Purchaser Plan, to the same extent such service was recognized immediately prior to the Effective Time under a comparable Benefit Plan in which such Covered Employee was eligible to participate immediately prior to the Effective Time; provided that such recognition of service (A) shall not operate to duplicate any benefits of a Covered Employee with respect to the same period of service and (B) shall not apply for purposes of any Purchaser Plan under which similarly-situated employees of Purchaser and its Subsidiaries do not receive credit for prior service; and (ii) with respect to any Purchaser Plan that provides health plan or other welfare benefits in which any Covered Employee is eligible to participate for the plan year in which such Covered Employee is first eligible to participate, (A) cause any pre-existing condition limitations or eligibility waiting periods under such Purchaser Plan to be waived with respect to such Covered Employee to the extent such limitation would have been waived or satisfied under the Benefit Plan in which such Covered Employee participated immediately prior to the Effective Time, and (B) recognize any eligible expenses incurred by such Covered Employee in the year that includes the Closing Date (or, if later, the year in which such Covered Employee is first eligible to participate) for purposes of any applicable deductible and annual out-of-pocket expense requirements under any such Purchaser Plan.

(d) If requested by Purchaser by no later than ten (10) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, effective as of immediately prior to, and contingent upon, the Closing, the Company shall adopt such resolutions and/or amendments to terminate the Company Retirement Savings Plan or any 401(k) plan of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company 401(k) Plan”) and the Covered Employees shall be permitted to roll any eligible rollover distributions (including, to the extent applicable with respect to any Covered Employee, loans) into Purchaser’s 401(k) plan. If the Company’s 401(k) Plan is terminated as of immediately prior to the Closing Date, each Covered Employee who participated or was eligible to participate in the Company 401(k) Plan as of immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be eligible to participate in Purchaser’s 401(k) plan commencing on the Closing Date. If the Company 401(k) is not terminated as of immediately prior to the Closing Date, Purchaser shall maintain the Company 401(k) Plan for the benefit of the Covered Employees until such time as they are eligible to participate in Purchaser’s 401(k) Plan and Purchaser will make a

- 44 -

discretionary matching contribution at a rate for each Covered Employee participating in the Company 401(k) Plan equal to the Company’s 2011 discretionary matching contribution rate for the 2012 plan year.

(e) Nothing in this Section 6.03 shall be construed to limit the right of Purchaser or any of its Affiliates (including, following the Closing Date, the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries) to amend or terminate any Benefit Plan or other employee benefit plan, to the extent such amendment or termination is permitted by the terms of the applicable plan, nor shall anything in this Section 6.03 be construed to require Purchaser or any of its Affiliates (including, following the Closing Date, the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries) to maintain any Purchaser Plan or retain the employment of any particular Covered Employee for any fixed period of time following the Closing Date. This Agreement shall inure exclusively to the benefit of, and be binding upon the Parties hereto and their respective successors, assigns, executors and legal representatives. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, including without limitation this Section 6.03, is intended to confer on any person other than the Parties hereto or their respective successors and assigns any rights, remedies, obligations, or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement.

Section 6.04 Indemnification; Directors’ and Officers’ Insurance.

(a) From and after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall, and Purchaser shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law (and shall also advance expenses as incurred to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law and the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Company provided the person to whom expenses are advanced provides an undertaking to repay such advances if it is ultimately determined that such person is not entitled to indemnification by the Surviving Corporation), each present and former director and officer of the Company or its Subsidiaries (in each case, when acting in such capacity), determined as of the Effective Time (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”) against any costs or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages or liabilities incurred in connection with any claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, arising out of matters existing or occurring at or prior to the Effective Time, including the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided that the Indemnified Party to whom expenses are advanced provides an undertaking to repay such advances if it is ultimately determined that such Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification by the Surviving Corporation.

- 45 -

amount in excess of the amount set forth in the Company Disclosure Schedule. If the Company and the Surviving Corporation for any reason fail to obtain such “tail” insurance policies as of the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall, and Purchaser shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, continue to maintain in effect for a period of at least six (6) years from and after the Effective Time the D&O Insurance in place as of the date of this Agreement with benefits and levels of coverage at least as favorable to the Indemnified Parties as provided in the Company’s existing policies as of the date of this Agreement, or the Surviving Corporation shall, and Purchaser shall cause the Surviving Corporation to purchase comparable D&O Insurance for such six-year period with benefits and levels of coverage at least as favorable to the Indemnified Parties as provided in the Company’s existing policies as of the date of this Agreement; provided, however, that in no event shall Purchaser or the Surviving Corporation be required to expend for such policies an annual premium amount in excess of 250% of the annual premiums currently paid by the Company for such insurance; and, provided, further, that if the annual premiums of such insurance coverage exceed such amount, the Surviving Corporation shall, and Purchaser shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, obtain a policy with the greatest coverage available for a cost not exceeding such amount.

(c) Any Indemnified Party wishing to claim indemnification under Section 6.04(a), upon learning of any claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation described above, will promptly notify Purchaser; provided that failure to so notify will not affect the obligations of Purchaser under Section 6.04(a) unless and to the extent that Purchaser is actually and materially prejudiced as a consequence.

(d) The rights of each Indemnified Party under this Section 6.04 shall be in addition to any rights such individual may have under the certificate of incorporation and bylaws (or other governing documents) of the Company and any of its Subsidiaries, under the DGCL or any other applicable Laws or under any agreement of any Indemnified Party with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. If Purchaser, the Surviving Corporation or any of their successors or assigns consolidates with or merges into any other entity and is not the continuing or surviving entity of such consolidation or merger or transfers all or substantially all of its assets to any other entity, then and in each case, Purchaser will cause proper provision to be made so that the successors and assigns of Purchaser or the Surviving Corporation, as applicable, will assume the obligations of Purchase or the Surviving Corporation, respectively, set forth in this Section 6.04.

(e) The provisions of this Section 6.04 are intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each Indemnified Party as if he or she was a party to this Agreement.

(f) The Company agrees that it will promptly (and, in any event, within 24 hours) notify Purchaser if any inquiries, proposals or offers with respect to an Acquisition Proposal are received by, any such information is requested from, or any such discussions or negotiation are sought to be initiated or continued with, it or any of its Representatives indicating, in connection with such notice, the name of such Person and the material terms and conditions of any proposals or offers (including, if applicable, copies of any written requests,

- 48 -

proposals or offers, including proposed Contracts) and thereafter shall keep Purchaser informed, on a current basis, of any material changes in the status and terms of any such proposals or offers (including any amendments thereto) and any material changes in the status of any such discussions or negotiations, including any change in the Company’s intentions as previously notified.

The Company agrees, as to it and its Subsidiaries, that the Proxy Statement or Information Statement, as the case may be, will comply in all material respects with the applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder. Each Party agrees, as to it and its Affiliates, that none of the information supplied by it or any of its Affiliates for inclusion or incorporation by reference in the Proxy Statement or Information Statement, as the case may be, will, at the date of mailing to stockholders of the Company and at the time of the Stockholders Meeting, if and as applicable, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

(b) The Company shall afford Purchaser a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on the Proxy Statement or Information Statement, as the case may be, prior to its filing with the SEC, including any amendments or supplements thereto, and shall give due consideration to all the reasonable additions, deletions or changes suggested thereto by Purchaser. The Company will promptly advise Purchaser if at any time prior to the Effective Time the Company shall obtain Knowledge of any facts that might make it necessary to amend or supplement the Proxy Statement or Information Statement, as the case may be, in order to make the statements contained therein not misleading or to comply with applicable Law.

- 50 -

reasonable additions, deletions or changes suggested thereto by Purchaser.

Section 6.12 Stock Exchange Delisting. Prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall cooperate with Purchaser and use reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and do or cause to be done all things, reasonably necessary, proper or advisable on its part under applicable Laws and rules and policies of NASDAQ to enable the delisting by the Surviving Corporation of the Shares from NASDAQ and the deregistration of the Shares under the Exchange Act as promptly as practicable after the Effective Time, and in any event no more than ten (10) days after the Closing Date.

Any agreement on the part of a party to any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in a written instrument signed on behalf of such Party, but such extension or waiver or failure to insist on strict compliance with an obligation, covenant, agreement or condition shall not operate as a waiver of, or estoppel with respect to, any subsequent or other failure.

Section 9.07 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the application thereof to any person or circumstance is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remaining provisions, or the application of such provision to persons or circumstances other than those as to which it has been held invalid or unenforceable, will remain in full force and effect and will in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated thereby, so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any Party.

Section 9.08 Governing Law; Jurisdiction. This Agreement shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York applicable to contracts made and entirely to be performed within such state, without regard to any applicable conflicts of law principles that would require the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction; provided that the DGCL, including the provisions thereof governing the fiduciary duties of directors of a Delaware corporation, shall govern as applicable.
