RECITALS

WHEREAS, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, Merger Sub shall commence a cash tender offer (such tender offer, as it may be extended, amended and supplemented from time to time as permitted by this Agreement, the “Offer”) to purchase all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock, $0.005 par value per share, of the Company (the “Company Common Stock”) at a price per share equal to $7.75, subject to applicable Tax withholding, (such amount or any greater amount per share paid pursuant to the Offer, the “Offer Price”);

WHEREAS, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, following the consummation of the Offer, Merger Sub shall merge with and into the Company, with the Company surviving the Merger as a wholly-owned Subsidiary of Parent (the “Merger”), pursuant to which each outstanding share of Company Common Stock shall be converted into the right to receive the Offer Price, except for shares of Company Common Stock to be canceled pursuant to Article 4 hereof;

WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Company Board”), acting upon the unanimous recommendation of a committee of the Company Board consisting only of independent and disinterested directors of the Company (the “Special Committee”) has unanimously (i) declared that this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby are advisable, fair to and in the best interest of the Company and its stockholders, (ii) adopted this Agreement and approved the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, and the consummation of the Offer, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby in accordance with this Agreement and in accordance with the provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law, as amended (the “DGCL”), (iii) directed that the adoption of this Agreement be submitted to the holders of Company Common Stock, to the extent required by applicable Law, (iv) subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, recommended that the stockholders of the Company accept the Offer and tender their shares of Company Common Stock pursuant to the Offer and, to the extent required by applicable Law, approve the Merger and adopt this Agreement and (v) subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, authorized and approved the Top-Up Option and the issuance of the Top-Up Option Shares thereunder;

WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of Parent and the Board of Directors of Merger Sub have (i) declared it advisable to enter into this Agreement and (ii) adopted this Agreement and approved the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by Parent and Merger Sub, respectively, and the consummation of the Offer, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby (collectively, the “Transactions”);

WHEREAS, concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, certain directors of the Company who are also stockholders of the Company are entering into Tender Agreements with the Company with respect to the Offer (the “Tender Agreements”);

WHEREAS, Parent, Merger Sub and the Company desire to make certain representations, warranties, covenants and agreements specified herein in connection with the Transactions contemplated hereby and to prescribe certain conditions to the Offer and the Merger; and

WHEREAS, certain definitions of capitalized terms used in this Agreement but not otherwise defined herein are set forth in Exhibit B hereto.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the respective representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained herein, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:

ARTICLE 1

THE OFFER AND THE MERGER

1.1 The Offer.

(a) Subject to the conditions of this Agreement, as promptly as practicable (but in no event later than ten (10) Business Days after the date of this Agreement), Merger Sub shall, and Parent shall cause Merger Sub to, commence the Offer within the meaning of the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The obligations of Merger Sub to, and of Parent to cause Merger Sub to, accept for payment, and pay for, any shares of the Company Common Stock tendered pursuant to the Offer are subject only to the conditions set forth in Exhibit A. The initial expiration date of the Offer shall be midnight (New York City time) on the twentieth (20th) business day following commencement of the Offer (determined using Rule 14d-1(g)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (together with the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, the “Exchange Act”)). Merger Sub expressly reserves the right to waive, in whole or in part, any condition to the Offer or modify the terms of the Offer, except that, without the written consent of the Company, Merger Sub shall not (i) reduce the number of shares of the Company Common Stock subject to the Offer, (ii) reduce the Offer Price, (iii) waive or amend the Minimum Tender Condition, add to the conditions set forth in Exhibit A or modify any condition set forth in Exhibit A in any manner adverse to the holders of the Company Common Stock, (iv) except as otherwise provided in this Section 1.1(a), extend the Offer, (v) change the form of consideration payable in the Offer or (vi) otherwise amend the Offer in any manner adverse to the holders of the Company Common Stock. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Merger Sub shall extend the Offer for the minimum period required by any rule, regulation, interpretation or position of the SEC or the staff thereof applicable to the Offer. In addition, if at the otherwise scheduled expiration date of the Offer any condition to the Offer is not satisfied, Merger Sub shall, and Parent shall cause Merger Sub to, extend the Offer for up to two (2) consecutive increments of not more than five (5) Business Days each (or for such longer period as may be agreed by the Company) (each such period an “Extension Period”); provided, however, that Merger Sub shall not be required to, and Parent shall not be required to cause Merger Sub to, extend the Offer beyond the Outside Date. Following the second Extension Period, Merger Sub may, if requested by the Company, make available one (1) or more “subsequent offering periods”, in accordance with Rule 14d-11 of the Exchange Act, of not less than ten (10) Business Days and not more than twenty (20) Business Days in the aggregate for all subsequent offering periods. On the terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer and this Agreement, Merger Sub shall, and Parent shall cause Merger Sub to, accept and pay for (subject to any withholding of Tax pursuant to Section 4.4(f)) all shares of the Company Common Stock validly tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to the Offer that Merger Sub becomes obligated to purchase pursuant to the Offer promptly after the expiration of the Offer.

(b) On the date of commencement of the Offer, Parent and Merger Sub shall file with the SEC, pursuant to and in accordance with Rule 14d-3 and Regulation M-A under the Exchange Act, a Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO with respect to the Offer, which shall contain an offer to purchase and a related letter of transmittal and summary advertisement (such Schedule TO and the documents included therein pursuant to which the Offer shall be made, together with any supplements or amendments thereto, the “Offer Documents”). Parent and Merger Sub agree to take all steps necessary to

cause the Offer Documents to be disseminated to holders of shares of the Company Common Stock as and to the extent required by the Exchange Act. The Company shall promptly furnish to Parent and Merger Sub all information concerning the Company required by the Exchange Act to be set forth in the Offer Documents or reasonably requested by Parent and Merger Sub for inclusion therein. Each of Parent, Merger Sub and the Company shall promptly correct any information provided by it for use in the Offer Documents if and to the extent that such information shall have become false or misleading in any material respect and to correct any material omissions therein; and each of Parent and Merger Sub shall take all steps necessary to amend or supplement the Offer Documents and to cause the Offer Documents, as so amended or supplemented, to be filed with the SEC and the Offer Documents, as so amended or supplemented, to be disseminated to the Company’s stockholders, in each case as and to the extent required by applicable Federal securities laws. Parent and Merger Sub shall provide the Company and its counsel copies of any written comments, and shall inform the Company and its counsel of any oral comments or discussions, that Parent, Merger Sub or their counsel may receive from or engage with the SEC or its staff with respect to the Offer Documents promptly after the receipt of such comments or the commencement or occurrence of any such discussions. Prior to the filing of the Offer Documents (including any amendment or supplement thereto) with the SEC or the dissemination thereof to the stockholders of the Company, or responding to any comments of the SEC with respect to the Offer Documents, Parent and Merger Sub shall provide the Company and its counsel a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such Offer Documents or response (including the proposed final version thereof), and Parent and Merger Sub shall give reasonable and good faith consideration to any comments made by the Company or its counsel.

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

(d) Merger Sub shall not terminate the Offer prior to any scheduled expiration thereof without the prior written consent of the Company, except in the event that this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Article 9. In the event that this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Article 9 prior to any scheduled expiration thereof, Merger Sub shall (and Parent shall cause Merger Sub to) promptly (and in any event within twenty-four (24) hours of such termination), irrevocably and unconditionally terminate the Offer. If the Offer is terminated or withdrawn by Merger Sub, or this Agreement is terminated prior to the purchase of shares of the Company Common Stock in the Offer, Merger Sub shall promptly return, and shall cause any depository acting on behalf of Merger Sub to return, all tendered shares of the Company Common Stock to the registered holders thereof.

1.2 Company Actions.

(a) Subject to Section 7.4, the Company hereby consents to the Transactions.

(b) Subject to Section 7.4, the Company shall file with the SEC, as promptly as practicable after the filing by Parent and/or Merger Sub of the Offer Documents (and in any event within ten (10) Business Days thereafter), a Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9 with respect to the Offer (such Schedule 14D-9, as amended from time to time, the “Schedule 14D-9”) describing the recommendations referred to in Section 5.4(d), and shall mail the Schedule 14D-9 to the holders of the Company Common Stock. Parent and Merger Sub shall promptly furnish to the Company all information concerning Parent and Merger Sub required by the Exchange Act to be set forth in the Schedule 14D-9 or reasonably requested by the Company for inclusion therein. Each of the Company, Parent and Merger Sub shall promptly correct any information provided by it for use in the Schedule 14D-9 if and to the extent that such information shall have become false or misleading in any material respect and to correct any material omissions therein. The Company shall take all steps necessary to

amend or supplement the Schedule 14D-9 and to cause the Schedule 14D-9, as so amended or supplemented, to be filed with the SEC and disseminated to the Company’s stockholders, in each case as and to the extent required by applicable Federal securities laws. The Company shall provide Parent and its counsel copies of any written comments and shall inform Parent and its counsel of any oral comments that the Company or its counsel may receive from the SEC or its staff with respect to the Schedule 14D-9 promptly after the receipt of such comments. Prior to the filing of the Schedule 14D-9 (including any amendment or supplement thereto) with the SEC or the dissemination thereof to the stockholders of the Company, or responding to any comments of the SEC with respect to the Schedule 14D-9, the Company shall provide Parent and its counsel a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such Schedule 14D-9 or response (including the proposed final version thereof), and the Company shall give reasonable and good faith consideration to any comments made by Parent or its counsel.

(c) In connection with the Offer, the Company shall cause its transfer agent to furnish Merger Sub promptly with mailing labels containing the names and addresses of the record holders of the Company Common Stock as of a recent date and of those persons becoming record holders subsequent to such date, together with copies of all lists of stockholders, security position listings, computer files and all other information in the Company’s possession or control regarding the beneficial owners of the Company Common Stock, and shall furnish to Merger Sub such information and assistance (including updated lists of stockholders, security position listings and computer files) as Parent may reasonably request in communicating the Offer to the Company’s stockholders. Subject to the requirements of applicable Law, and except for such steps as are necessary to disseminate the Offer Documents and any other documents necessary to consummate the Transactions, Parent and Merger Sub shall hold in confidence in accordance with the Confidentiality Agreement the information contained in any such labels, listings and files, shall use such information only in connection with the Offer and the Merger and, if this Agreement shall be terminated, shall, upon request of the Company, return to the Company or destroy all copies of such information then in their possession or control.

1.3 Top-Up Option.

(a) Subject to Section 1.3(b) and Section 1.3(c) hereto and applicable rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC and/or NASDAQ, the Company grants to Merger Sub an irrevocable option (the “Top-Up Option”), for so long as this Agreement has not been terminated pursuant to the provisions hereof, to purchase from the Company that number of shares of the Company Common Stock equal to the number of shares of the Company Common Stock that, when added to the number of shares of the Company Common Stock owned by Parent, Merger Sub or any other subsidiary of Parent at the time of exercise of the Top-Up Option, constitutes at least one share of the Company Common Stock more than 90% of the shares of the Company Common Stock that would be outstanding immediately after the issuance of all shares of the Company Common Stock to be issued upon exercise of the Top-Up Option (such shares of the Company Common Stock to be issued upon exercise of the Top-Up Option, the “Top-Up Shares”).

(b) The Top-Up Option shall be exercised by Merger Sub during the two-Business Day period following the time at which shares of the Company Common Stock are first accepted pursuant to the Offer, or if any subsequent offering period is provided, during the two-Business Day period following the expiration date of such subsequent offering period; provided that, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Top-Up Option shall not be exercisable (i) to the extent that the number of shares of the Company Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Top-Up Option would exceed the number of authorized but unissued shares of the Company Common Stock that are not reserved or otherwise committed to be issued, (ii) if any Law or Judgment then in effect shall prohibit the exercise of the Top-Up Option or the delivery of the Top-Up Shares, and (iii) unless Parent or Merger Sub has accepted for payment all shares of the Company Common Stock validly tendered in the Offer and

not withdrawn. The Top-Up Option shall terminate upon the earlier to occur of (i) the Effective Time and (ii) termination of this Agreement in accordance with Article 9. 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 Offer Price, without interest. Such purchase price may be paid by Merger Sub, at its election, either (A) entirely in cash or (B) 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. Any such promissory note shall be full recourse against Parent and Merger Sub, shall bear interest at the rate of three percent (3%) per annum, shall mature on the first (1st) anniversary of the date of execution and delivery of such promissory note and may be prepaid without premium or penalty. Without the prior written consent of the Company, the right to exercise the Top-Up Option granted pursuant to this Agreement may be exercised only once and shall not be assigned by Merger Sub. Any attempted assignment in violation of this Section 1.3(b) shall be null and void.

(c) In the event that Merger Sub shall 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 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 shall consummate the Merger in accordance with Section 253 of the DGCL as contemplated by Section 7.6(b). 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 the Top-Up Shares. The parties hereto agree to 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 pursuant to Section 10.2, and if not so consummated on such day, as promptly thereafter as possible. The parties hereto 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 7.6(b), subject to applicable Law, 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, if the Option is exercised, the Top-Up Shares will not be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (including the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, the “Securities Act”), and will 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 will 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 will 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) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, each of Parent, Merger Sub and the Company agree and acknowledge that, in any appraisal proceeding under Section 262 of the DGCL with respect to Dissenting Shares, the Surviving Corporation shall not assert that the Top-Up Option, the Top-Up Shares or any cash or promissory note delivered by Merger Sub to the Company in payment for such Top-Up Shares should be considered in connection with the determination of the fair value of the Dissenting Shares in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL.

1.4 Tender Agreements. Promptly following the public announcement of this Agreement, Company shall provide tender agreements (substantially in the form of the Tender Agreements) to up to ten (10) stockholders of the Company designated in writing by Parent and Merger Sub. Each of Parent, Merger Sub and Company shall request that such stockholders execute such tender agreements and make commercially reasonable efforts to effect such execution.

ARTICLE 4

EFFECT OF THE MERGER

4.1 Conversion of Capital Stock. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the Company, Parent, Merger Sub, or any holder of any stock or other equity ownership interest of the Company, Parent or Merger Sub:

(a) Each share (each, a “Share” and collectively, the “Shares”) of the Company Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (except as otherwise provided in Section 4.1(b) and Shares (“Dissenting Shares”) that are, as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, owned by stockholders (“Dissenting Stockholders”) who have perfected and not withdrawn a demand for, or lost their right to, appraisal pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL with respect to such Shares) shall be converted into the right to receive the highest price per share of the Company Common Stock paid pursuant to the Offer, in cash and without interest (the “Per Share Merger Consideration”). All such Shares, when so converted, no longer shall be outstanding and automatically shall be cancelled and retired and shall cease to exist, and each holder of a certificate evidencing any such Shares shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration therefor, subject to applicable withholding tax, upon the surrender of such certificate in accordance with Section 4.2.

(b) Each Share held in the treasury of the Company and each Share owned by Parent, Merger Sub or any subsidiary of Parent or the Company, if any, immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be cancelled and extinguished without any conversion thereof and no payment shall be made with respect thereto.

(c) At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Parent as the sole stockholder of Merger Sub, each issued and outstanding share of common stock of Merger Sub shall be converted into one share of common stock of the Surviving Corporation.

4.2 Exchange of Certificates and Merger Consideration.

(a) No later than two (2) Business Days prior to the Effective Time, Parent will deposit, or cause to be deposited, with a bank or trust company designated by Parent (the “Exchange Agent”), for the benefit of the holders of Shares, the cash required to make payments in respect of the Merger consideration as required by this Article 4 (such cash, together with any dividends or distributions with respect thereto, being hereinafter referred to as the “Exchange Fund”). The Exchange Agent will, pursuant to irrevocable instructions, deliver the cash payments contemplated to be issued pursuant to Section 4.1 and 4.4 out of the Exchange Fund. The Exchange Fund will not be used for any other purpose.

(b) Promptly after the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Exchange Agent to mail to each holder of record of a certificate or certificates that immediately prior to the Effective Time evidenced outstanding Shares (the “Certificates”), and whose Shares were converted into the right to receive the applicable Per Share Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 4.1, (i) a letter of transmittal (a “Letter of Transmittal”) which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon actual delivery of the Certificates to the Exchange Agent and shall be in such form and have such other provisions as Parent may reasonably specify, and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates in exchange for the Per Share Merger Consideration for each Share evidenced thereby. Upon surrender of Certificates for cancellation to the Exchange Agent, together with a duly executed Letter of Transmittal and such other documents as the Exchange Agent shall reasonably require, the holder of such Certificates shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor the Per Share Merger Consideration for each Share formerly evidenced thereby, in accordance with Section 4.1, and the Certificates so surrendered shall be canceled. Until surrendered as provided in this Section 4.2(b), each Certificate shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive upon such surrender the Per Share Merger Consideration for each Share evidenced thereby. No interest will be paid or accrue on any amounts payable upon surrender of any Certificate.

(c) All Merger consideration paid upon exchange of the Shares in accordance with the terms hereof will be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such Shares so exchanged.

(d) Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains undistributed to the holders of Shares for six (6) months after the Effective Time will be delivered to Parent, upon demand, and any holders of Shares who have not theretofore complied with this Article 4 will thereafter look only to Parent for payments in respect of the applicable Merger consideration payable pursuant to this Agreement. Any portion of the Exchange Fund remaining unclaimed by holders of Shares as of a date which is immediately prior to such time as such amounts would otherwise escheat to or become property of any Governmental Entity will, to the extent permitted by applicable law, become the property of Parent free and clear of any claims or interest of any person previously entitled thereto.

(e) None of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company, the Surviving Corporation or the Exchange Agent shall be liable to any person in respect of any cash delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar law. If any Certificates (or instruments for the Company Stock-Based Securities) shall not have been surrendered prior to two (2) years after the Effective Time (or immediately prior to such earlier date on which any of the Merger consideration would otherwise escheat or become the property of any Governmental Entity), any amounts payable in respect thereof shall, to the extent permitted by law, become the property of Parent, free and clear of all claims or interest on any person previously entitled thereto.

(f) Each of the Surviving Corporation and Parent will 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 Code, or any provision of state, local or foreign tax law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld by the Surviving Corporation or Parent, as the case may be, such withheld amounts will be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of the Shares in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made by the Surviving Corporation or Parent, as the case may be. Any amounts deducted and withheld from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement shall be remitted by Parent or the Surviving Corporation to the appropriate Governmental Entity on a timely basis.

(g) If any Certificate has 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 the Surviving Corporation, the posting by such person of a bond, in such reasonable amount as the Surviving Corporation may direct, as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, the Exchange Agent will issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate the Merger consideration payable with respect to the Shares evidenced by such Certificate.

4.3 Stock Transfer Books. At and after the Effective Time, holders of Certificates shall cease to have any rights as stockholders of the Company, except for the right to receive the Merger consideration pursuant to Section 4.1, without interest. All cash paid upon the surrender of the Certificates in accordance with this Article 4 shall be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to the Shares formerly evidenced by such Certificates. At the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed and no transfer of Shares which were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall thereafter be made. If, after the Effective Time, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Certificates formerly evidencing Shares are presented to the Surviving Corporation, they shall be canceled and exchanged for the Merger consideration in accordance with this Article 4.

4.4 Treatment of Company Stock-Based Securities.

(a) The Company shall take all actions necessary or appropriate to provide that each outstanding option to purchase shares of Company Common Stock (a “Company Stock Option”) granted under any stock option plan, program or agreement to which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is a party (the “Company Stock Option Plans”) which is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether or not then exercisable, shall either (i) be cancelled as of the Effective Time and the holder thereof shall be entitled only to the right to receive, without any interest thereon, an amount in cash payable at the time of cancellation of such Company Stock Option equal to the product of (A) the excess, if any, of (x) the Per Share Merger Consideration over (y) the per share exercise price of such Company Stock Option multiplied by (B) the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Company Stock Option, whether or not then exercisable, or (ii) be terminated in accordance with the terms of the Company Stock Option Plan applicable to such Company Stock Option. Such cash payment shall be subject to and reduced by all applicable Taxes to be withheld in respect of such payment. The surrender of a Company Stock Option in exchange for the consideration contemplated by this Section 4.4(a) shall be deemed a release of any and all rights the holder had or may have had in respect thereof; provided, that for any Company Stock Option where no payment is required to be made under this Section 4.4(a) because such payment amount would be equal to or less than zero, such Company Stock Option will be cancelled and terminated at the Effective Time without any exercise thereof and no payment shall be made with respect thereto. The Company shall take all actions necessary to provide that, upon the Effective Time, (i) the Company Stock Option Plans and any similar plan or agreement of the Company shall be terminated, and (ii) no holder of any Company Stock Option will have any right to receive any shares of capital stock of the Company or, if applicable, the Surviving Corporation, upon exercise of any Company Stock Option.

(b) Parent and Merger Sub acknowledge that all outstanding restricted stock awards (the “Company Restricted Shares”) shall automatically become fully vested and free of any forfeiture restrictions at the Effective Time, and the Company will take all necessary action, including obtaining any required consents or amendments to the Company’s equity incentive plan, to permit holders of outstanding Company Restricted Shares to be treated in the Merger on the same terms and conditions as all other holders of unrestricted Shares.

(c) The Company shall take all actions necessary or appropriate to provide that each Company stock appreciation right (“Company SAR”) which is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether or not then exercisable, shall either (i) be cancelled as of the Effective Time and the holder thereof shall be entitled only to the right to receive, without any interest thereon, an amount in cash payable at the time of cancellation of such Company SAR equal to the product of (i) the excess, if any, of (x) the Common Offer Price over (y) the per share exercise price of such Company SAR, multiplied by (ii) the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Company SAR, whether or not then vested, or (ii) be terminated in accordance with the terms of the Company Stock Option Plan applicable to such Company SAR. Such cash payment shall be subject to and reduced by all Taxes to be withheld in respect of such payment. The surrender of a Company SAR in exchange for the consideration contemplated by this Section 4.4(c) shall be deemed a release of any and all rights the holder had or may have had in respect thereof.

(d) Simultaneously with the consummation of the Merger, Merger Sub shall pay to the Company an amount in cash equal to the aggregate amount of consideration to be paid by holders of Company Stock Options and Company SARs pursuant to this Section 4.4, and the Surviving Corporation shall cause such consideration to be paid to such holders promptly (in no event later than two (2) Business Days) following the Closing.

(e) The Company shall take all steps reasonably required to cause the transactions contemplated by this Section 4.4 by each individual who is a director or officer of the Company subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act to be exempt under Rule 16b-3 of the Exchange Act.

4.5 Dissenting Shares. No Person who, prior to the Effective Time, has perfected a demand for appraisal rights pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL with respect to any Dissenting Shares shall be entitled to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration with respect to such Dissenting Shares unless and until such Person shall have effectively withdrawn (in accordance with Section 262(k) of the DGCL) or lost such Person’s right to appraisal pursuant to the DGCL with respect to such Dissenting Shares. Unless and until a Dissenting Stockholder shall have effectively so withdrawn or lost such Dissenting Stockholder’s right to appraisal pursuant to the DGCL with respect to such Dissenting Shares, such Dissenting Stockholder shall be entitled to receive only the payment provided by Section 262 of the DGCL with respect to such Dissenting Shares. The Company shall give Parent (i) 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 Company stockholders’ rights of appraisal and (ii) the opportunity to participate in all negotiations and proceedings which take place prior to the Effective Time with respect to demands for appraisal by Company stockholders under the DGCL. The Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of Parent, voluntarily make any payment with respect to any demands for appraisal, offer to settle or settle any such demands.

Each Subsidiary of the Company is duly qualified to do business as a foreign corporation or limited liability company, and is in good standing in each jurisdiction where such qualification is necessary, except for those jurisdictions where failure to be so qualified or in good standing would not have a Material Adverse Effect.

5.11 Compliance with Agreements. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is in breach or violation of, or in default in the performance or observance of, any term or provision of, and no event has occurred which, with lapse of time or action by a third party, would result in a default under,

any Material Contract except for such breach, violation, default or event that would not have a Material Adverse Effect, and the Company has not received any written notice of any such breach, violation, default or event.

(b) No Solicitation. Except as may relate to any Qualified Go-Shop Bidder or as permitted by Sections 7.4(d) and 7.4(e), from the No Shop Period Start Date until the Effective Time, or if earlier, the termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, the Company agrees that it and its Subsidiaries will not, and the Company will not knowingly permit its or its Subsidiaries’ Representatives, to (i) solicit, initiate or knowingly facilitate or encourage the making by any Person (other than Parent and its Subsidiaries) of any inquiry, proposal or offer that constitutes or would reasonably be expected to lead to any Acquisition Proposal, (ii) enter into discussions or negotiations with any Person in furtherance of an inquiry or to obtain an Acquisition Proposal, or (iii) enter into any agreement, understanding or arrangement with respect to any Acquisition Proposal.

The Company shall promptly request each Person that has heretofore executed a confidentiality agreement in connection with its consideration of an Acquisition Proposal (other than a Qualified Go-Shop Bidder), if any, to return or destroy all confidential information heretofore furnished to such Person by or on behalf of the Company and its Subsidiaries.

(c) After the No-Shop Period Start Date, the Company agrees that it will notify Parent promptly (and in any event within seventy-two (72) hours after the Company’s receipt) of any Acquisition Proposal, including the material terms of the Acquisition Proposal, which the Company, any of the Company’s Subsidiaries or any of the Company’s Representatives receives, and shall keep Parent informed on a prompt basis as to the status of and any material developments regarding any such proposal. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall, after the date of this Agreement, enter into any confidentiality agreement that would prohibit them from providing such information to Parent.

(d) Notwithstanding Section 7.4(a) and Section 7.4(c) or any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, at any time prior to the earlier to occur of the Offer Closing and the time Company Stockholder Approval is obtained, following the receipt by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries of an Acquisition Proposal, the Company Board may (directly or through the Company’s Representatives) (i) contact such Person and its advisors for the purpose of clarifying the proposal and

any material terms thereof and the conditions to and likelihood of consummation, so as to enable the Company Board to determine whether such proposal is, or is reasonably likely to lead to, a Superior Proposal, (ii) if the Company Board determines in good faith after consultation with its outside legal and financial advisors that such Acquisition Proposal is, or is reasonably likely to lead to, a Superior Proposal, the Company may (A) enter into a confidentiality agreement on substantially the same terms as the Confidentiality Agreement, (B) subject to such confidentiality agreement, furnish non-public information with respect to the Company and its Subsidiaries to the Person who made such proposal (provided, that the Company has previously furnished or concurrently furnishes such information to Parent), and (C) participate in negotiations regarding such proposal, and (iii) if the Company Board determines that the Acquisition Proposal is a Superior Proposal, the Company Board may make a Change in Recommendation and, subject to the provisions of Section 9.1(f), terminate this Agreement.

(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, nothing in this Agreement shall prevent the Company or the Company Board, at any time prior to the Acceptance Time, from (i) taking and disclosing to the Company’s stockholders a position contemplated by Rule 14d-9 and Rule 14e-2(a) promulgated under the Exchange Act (or any similar communication to stockholders required to be made by applicable statute, law, rule or regulation in connection with the making or amendment of a tender offer or exchange offer), (ii) making any required disclosure to stockholders with regard to any Acquisition Proposal or (iii) making a Change in Recommendation, if the Company Board determines in good faith after consultation with outside counsel that the failure to take such action would be reasonably likely to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable law.

(f) If at any time prior to the Effective Time, any event with respect to Parent (including its officers, directors and Subsidiaries) shall occur that is required to be described in an amendment of, or a supplement to the Offer Documents, the Schedule 14D-9, the Proxy Statement, the Information Statement or the other documents required to be filed by Parent or the Company in connection with the Transactions, Parent shall notify the Company thereof and such event shall be so described. Any such amendment or supplement shall be promptly filed with the SEC and, as and to the extent required by law, disseminated to the stockholders of the Company, and such amendment or supplement shall comply in all material respects with all provisions of applicable law.

(g) Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, (i) at any time prior to obtaining the Company Stockholder Approval, the Company Board may grant a waiver or release under, or determine not to enforce, any standstill agreement with respect to any class of equity securities of the Company if the Company Board determines in good faith (after consultation with its outside legal counsel) that the failure to take such action would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable law and (ii) from the date hereof until the No-Shop Period Start Date, the Company may grant any such waiver or release, or make any such determination not to enforce, solely to permit any counterparty to any such agreement to make non-public inquiries, proposals or offers that constitute or may reasonably be expected to lead to any Acquisition Proposal.

The Company shall provide Parent and its counsel a reasonable opportunity to review the Proxy Statement prior to its being filed with the SEC and shall provide Parent and their counsel a reasonable opportunity to review all amendments and supplements to the Proxy Statement and all responses to requests for additional information prior to their being filed with, or sent to, the SEC. The Company shall give reasonable and good faith consideration to any comments made by Parent or its counsel. The Company shall use its reasonable efforts to cause the Proxy Statement to be mailed to the Company’s stockholders as promptly as practicable after filing with the SEC.

(b) If the adoption of this Agreement by the Company’s stockholders is required by Law, the Company shall, as soon as practicable following the Acceptance Time, (i) duly call, establish a record date for, give notice of, convene and hold a meeting of its stockholders (the “Company Stockholders Meeting”) for the purpose of seeking the Company Stockholder Approval and, (ii) through the Company Board, recommend to its stockholders that they give the Company Stockholder Approval (except to the extent that the Company Board shall have withdrawn or modified its approval or recommendation of this Agreement, the Offer or the Merger as permitted by Section 7.4(d).

(a) Each of Parent, Merger Sub and the Company agrees to give prompt notice to each other of, and to use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to prevent or promptly remedy, the occurrence or failure to occur, of any event which occurrence or failure to occur would cause any of its representations or warranties in this Agreement to be untrue or inaccurate in any material respect at any time from the date hereof to the Effective Time; provided, however, that the delivery of any notice pursuant to this Section 7.12 shall not limit or otherwise affect the remedies available hereunder to the party receiving such notice.

The indemnification and advancement obligations of the Indemnitors pursuant to this Section 7.13(a) shall extend to acts or omissions occurring at or before the Effective Time and any Claim relating thereto (including with respect to any acts or omissions occurring in connection with the approval of this Agreement and the consummation of the Transactions, including the consideration and approval thereof and the process undertaken in connection therewith and any Claim relating thereto), and all rights to indemnification and advancement conferred hereunder shall continue as to a person who continues to be or who has ceased to be a director, officer or trustee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or fiduciary under or with respect to any employee benefit plan (within the meaning of Section 3(3) of ERISA) of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries after the date hereof and shall inure to the benefit of such person’s heirs, executors and personal and legal representatives. As used in this Section 7.13(a): (A) the term “Claim” means any threatened, asserted, pending or completed Action, whether instituted by any party hereto, any Governmental Entity or any other party, that any Indemnified Party in good faith believes might lead to the institution of any such Action, whether civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or other, including any arbitration or other alternative dispute resolution mechanism, arising out of or pertaining to matters that relate to such Indemnified Party in his or her capacity as a director, officer or trustee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or fiduciary under or with respect to any employee benefit plan (within the meaning of Section 3(3) of ERISA) or any other person at or prior to the Effective Time at the request of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, and (B) the term “Expenses” means reasonable attorneys’ fees and all other reasonable costs, expenses and obligations (including experts’ fees, travel expenses, court costs, retainers, transcript fees, duplicating, printing and binding costs, as well as telecommunications, postage and courier charges) paid or incurred in connection with investigating, defending, being a witness in or participating in (including on appeal), or preparing to investigate, defend, be a witness in or participate in, any Claim for which indemnification is authorized pursuant to this Section 7.13(a), including any Action

relating to a claim for indemnification or advancement brought by an Indemnified Party. Neither Parent nor the Surviving Corporation shall settle, compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any Claim in respect of which indemnification has been or could be sought by such Indemnified Party hereunder unless (i) such settlement, compromise or judgment includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such Claim and does not contain any continuing restrictions on such Indemnified Party or (ii) such Indemnified Party otherwise consents thereto.

(b) Without limiting the foregoing, Parent and Merger Sub agree that all rights to indemnification and exculpation from liabilities for acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Effective Time now existing in favor of the current or former directors, officers, trustees, employees, agents, or fiduciaries of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries as provided in the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or its Bylaws (or, as applicable, the charter, bylaws, partnership agreement, limited liability company agreement, or other organizational documents of any of the Company’s Subsidiaries) and indemnification agreements of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries identified on Section 7.13(b) of the Company Disclosure Schedule shall be assumed by the Surviving Corporation in the Merger, without further action, at the Effective Time and shall survive the Merger and shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with their terms.

(c) For a period of six (6) years from the Effective Time, the organizational documents of the Surviving Corporation shall contain provisions no less favorable with respect to indemnification than are set forth in the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws, which provisions shall not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified for a period of six (6) years from the Effective Time in any manner that would affect adversely the rights thereunder of individuals who, at or prior to the Effective Time, were directors, officers, trustees, employees, agents, or fiduciaries of the Company or any of the Company’s Subsidiaries or with respect to any employee benefit plans (within the meaning of Section 3(3) of ERISA), unless such modification shall be required by law and then only to the minimum extent required by law.

(d) The Surviving Corporation shall maintain for a period of at least six (6) years the current policies of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance maintained by the Company and its Subsidiaries with respect to claims arising from facts or events that occurred on or before the Effective Time, including in respect of the Transactions; provided, that (i) that the Surviving Corporation may substitute therefor policies of at least the same coverage and amounts containing terms and conditions which are, in the aggregate, no less advantageous to the insured (provided, that such substitution shall not result in gaps or lapses of coverage with respect to matters occurring before the Effective Time), (ii) in no event shall the Surviving Corporation be required to expend pursuant to this Section 7.13(d) more than an amount per year of coverage equal to Three Hundred Thousand Dollars ($300,000). In the event that, but for the proviso to the immediately preceding sentence, the Surviving Corporation would be required to expend more than Three Hundred Thousand Dollars ($300,000), the Surviving Corporation shall obtain the maximum amount of such insurance obtainable by payment of annual premiums equal to Three Hundred Thousand Dollars ($300,000). Parent shall, and shall cause the Surviving Corporation or its successors or assigns to, maintain such policies in full force and effect, and continue to honor all obligations thereunder.

(e) If the Surviving Corporation or any of its respective successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges with or into any other person and shall not be the continuing or surviving limited liability company, partnership or other entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers or conveys all or substantially all of its assets to any person, then, and in each such case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of the Surviving Corporation assumes the obligations set forth in this Section 7.13.

(f) Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to perform all of the obligations of the Surviving Corporation under this Section 7.13 and the parties acknowledge and agree that Parent guarantees the payment and performance of the Surviving Corporation’s obligations pursuant to this Section 7.13.

(g) This Section 7.13 is intended for the irrevocable benefit of, and to grant third party rights to, the Indemnified Parties and shall be binding on all successors and assigns of the Company, Parent and the Surviving Corporation. Each of the Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to enforce the covenants contained in this Section 7.13.

7.14 Stockholder Litigation. The Company shall keep Parent informed of, and cooperate with Parent in connection with, any stockholder litigation or claim against the Company and/or its directors or officers relating to the Transactions; provided, that no settlement in connection with such stockholder litigation in excess of $300,000 shall be agreed to prior to the Effective Time without Parent’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided, however, that no settlement requiring a payment or an admission of wrongdoing by a director shall be agreed without such director’s consent; provided, further, that all obligations in this Section 7.14 shall be subject to the obligations of the Company under applicable laws relating to attorney-client communication and privilege.

7.15 De-registration. The Surviving Corporation shall cause the Shares to be de-registered under the Exchange Act following the Effective Time.

7.16 Rule 14d-10(d) Matters. Prior to the Acceptance Time, the Company (acting through the Company Board and its compensation committee) will take all such steps as may be required to cause to be exempt under Rule 14d-10(d), as amended, promulgated under the Exchange Act any employment compensation, severance or employee benefit arrangements that have been entered into on or after the date hereof by the Company or any of its affiliates with current directors, officers or employees of the Company and its affiliates and to ensure that any such arrangements fall within the safe harbor provisions of such rule.

7.17 Directors.

(a) Promptly upon acceptance for payment of, and payment by Merger Sub for, any shares of the Company Common Stock pursuant to the Offer, Parent or Merger Sub shall be entitled, subject to compliance with Section 14(f) of the Exchange Act, to designate, from time to time, such number of directors on the Company Board as will give Merger Sub representation on the Company Board equal to at least such number of directors, rounded up to the nearest whole number, that is the product of (a) the total number of directors on the Company Board (giving effect to the directors elected pursuant to this sentence) multiplied by (b) the percentage that (i) such number of shares of the Company Common Stock so accepted for payment and paid for by Merger Sub plus the number of shares of the Company Common Stock otherwise owned by Parent or Merger Sub or any subsidiary of Parent bears to (ii) the number of such shares outstanding, and the Company shall, at such time, cause Merger Sub’s designees to be so elected or appointed; provided, however, that in the event that Merger Sub’s designees are appointed or elected to the Company Board, until the Effective Time the Company Board shall have at least three (3) directors who are directors on the date of this Agreement and who will be independent for purposes of Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act (the “Independent Directors”); provided, further, that, in such event, if the number of Independent Directors shall be reduced below three (3) for any reason whatsoever, any remaining Independent Directors (or Independent Director, if there shall be only one (1) remaining) 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 Directors then remain, the

other directors shall designate three (3) persons to fill such vacancies who will be independent for purposes of Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act, and such persons shall be deemed to be Independent Directors for purposes of this Agreement. The Company’s obligations under this Section 7.17 shall be subject to Section 14(f) of the Exchange Act and Rule 14f-1 promulgated thereunder. Subject to applicable Law, the Company shall take all action requested by Parent necessary to effect any such election, including mailing to its stockholders the Information Statement containing the information required by Section 14(f) of the Exchange Act and Rule 14f-1 promulgated thereunder, and the Company shall make such mailing with the mailing of the Schedule 14D-9 (provided that Merger Sub shall have provided to the Company on a timely basis all information required to be included in the Information Statement with respect to Merger Sub’s designees). In connection with the foregoing, the Company shall promptly, at the option of Merger Sub, either increase the size of the Company Board or use reasonable efforts to obtain the resignation of such number of its current directors as is necessary to enable Merger Sub’s designees to be elected or appointed to the Company Board as provided above. At such time, the Company shall, if requested by Parent, take all action necessary to cause individuals designated by Parent to constitute the number of members, rounded up to the nearest whole number, on (A) each committee of the Company Board and (B) each board of directors of each Company Subsidiary (and each committee thereof) that represents the same percentage as such individuals represent on the Company Board in each case to the extent permitted by applicable Law or the rules of the Nasdaq.

(b) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if Parent’s or Merger Sub’s designees constitute a majority of the Company Board prior to the Effective Time, then the affirmative vote of a majority of the Independent Directors shall (in addition to the approval rights of the Company Board or the stockholders of the Company as may be required by the governing documents of the Company or applicable Law) be required for the Company (i) to amend or terminate this Agreement, (ii) to extend the time of performance of, or waive, any of the obligations or other acts of Parent or Merger Sub under this Agreement, or to exercise or waive any of the Company’s rights, benefits or remedies hereunder, if such action would adversely affect the holders of shares of the Company Common Stock (other than Parent or Merger Sub), (iii) except as expressly provided herein, to amend any governing document of the Company in a manner that would reasonably be expected adversely to affect the holders of shares of the Company Common Stock (other than Parent or Merger Sub), or (iv) to take any other action or make any other determination of the Company Board under or in connection with this Agreement or the Transactions if such action would reasonably be expected adversely to affect the holders of shares of the Company Common Stock (other than Parent or Merger Sub). The Independent Directors shall have, and Parent shall cause the Independent Directors to have, the authority to retain such counsel (which may include current counsel to the Company or the Company Board) and other advisors at the expense of the Company as determined by the Independent Directors, and the authority (acting as a committee of the Company Board, which hereby shall be deemed to be constituted) to institute any action on behalf of the Company to enforce performance of this Agreement.

(a) by mutual written consent of Parent and the Company;

(b) by either Parent or the Company, upon written notice to the other party:

Nothing in this Section 9.2 shall relieve any party from liability for any willful breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or obligation under this Agreement or any action or omission that constitutes fraud.

9.3 Termination Payment; Expenses.

(a) If this Agreement is terminated:

(i) by Parent pursuant to Section 9.1(e), then the Company shall pay to Parent within two (2) Business Days after the date of such termination, the Termination Fee, which amount shall be payable in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by Parent; or

(ii) by the Company pursuant to Section 9.1(f), then the Company shall pay to Parent within two (2) Business Days after the date of such termination, the Termination Fee, in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by Parent.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement and subject to Section 9.3(c), the parties hereto expressly acknowledge and agree that, with respect to any termination of

this Agreement in circumstances where the Termination Fee is payable, the payment of the Termination Fee shall, in light of the difficulty of accurately determining actual damages, constitute liquidated damages with respect to any claim for damages or any other claim which Parent and Merger Sub would otherwise be entitled to assert against the Company or any of its assets, or against any of its directors, officers, employees and stockholders with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and shall constitute the sole and exclusive remedy available to Parent and Merger Sub. Except for nonpayment of the Termination Fee, the parties hereby agree that, upon termination of this Agreement in circumstances where the Termination Fee is payable, in no event shall Parent or Merger Sub (i) seek to obtain any recovery or judgment against the Company or any of its assets, or against any of its directors, officers, employees or stockholders or (ii) be entitled to seek or obtain any other damages of any kind, including consequential, indirect, special or punitive damages.

10.3 Interpretation. The headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. In this Agreement, unless a contrary intention appears, (i) the words “herein,” “hereof” and “hereunder” and other words of similar import refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular Article, Section or other subdivision, (ii) the word “including” means “including without limitation” and is intended by the parties to be by way of example rather than limitation, and (iii) reference to any Article or Section means such Article or Section hereof.

10.6 Jurisdiction. Each of Parent, Merger Sub and the Company hereby irrevocably and unconditionally consents to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of Delaware and

of the United States of America located in the State of Delaware (the “Relevant Courts”) for any litigation arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Transactions (and agrees not to commence any litigation relating thereto except in such courts), waives any objection to the laying of venue of any such litigation in the Relevant Courts and agrees not to plead or claim in any Relevant Court that such litigation brought therein has been brought in an inconvenient forum; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 10.6 is intended to waive the right of any party to remove any such action or proceeding commenced in any such state court to an appropriate federal court to the extent the basis for such removal exists under applicable law. The parties agree that the mailing by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, of any process required by any Relevant Court, to the address specified in Section 10.2, shall constitute valid and lawful service of process against them, without necessity for service by any other means provided by statute or rule of court.

It is accordingly agreed that the parties hereto shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. Each party agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief on the basis that the party seeking such injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief has an adequate remedy at law or that any award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or equity. In the event that any party seeks an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement or to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement, such party shall not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with any such injunction or other order, decree, ruling or judgment.

10.8 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts (including by facsimile or electronic data file), each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which shall constitute one and the same agreement.

10.9 Parties In Interest. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of each party hereto, and except for Section 7.13 hereof, nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any other person any rights or remedies of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement.

10.10 Severability. Should any provision of this Agreement be judicially declared to be invalid, unenforceable or void, such decision will not have the effect of invalidating or voiding the remainder of this Agreement, and the part or parts of this Agreement so held to be invalid, unenforceable or void will be deemed to have been stricken herefrom, and the remainder will have the same force and effectiveness as if such stricken part or parts had never been included herein.

10.11 Waiver of Trial by Jury. EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION TO ENFORCE OR DEFEND ANY RIGHT UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY AMENDMENT, INSTRUMENT, DOCUMENT OR AGREEMENT DELIVERED, OR WHICH IN THE FUTURE MAY BE DELIVERED, IN CONNECTION WITH THE TRANSACTIONS, AND AGREES THAT ANY SUCH ACTION SHALL BE TRIED BEFORE A COURT AND NOT BEFORE A JURY.

Parent agrees to take all action necessary to cause Merger Sub or the Surviving Corporation, as applicable, to perform all of its respective agreements, covenants and obligations under this Agreement. Parent unconditionally guarantees to the Company the full and complete performance by Merger Sub or the Surviving Corporation, as applicable, of its respective

obligations under this Agreement and shall be liable for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or obligation of Merger Sub or the Surviving Corporation, as applicable, under this Agreement. This is a guarantee of payment and performance and not collectibility. Parent hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand of performance, filing of any claim, any right to require any proceeding first against Merger Sub or the Surviving Corporation, as applicable, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever in connection with the performance of its obligations set forth in this Section 10.12.

EXHIBIT A

Conditions of the Offer

Notwithstanding any other term of the Offer or this Agreement, Merger Sub shall not be required to, and Parent shall not be required to cause Merger Sub 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 of the Company Common Stock promptly after the termination or withdrawal of the Offer), pay for any shares of the Company Common Stock tendered pursuant to the Offer, and, to the extent permitted by this Agreement, may amend or terminate the Offer, unless (i) there shall have been validly tendered and not withdrawn prior to the expiration of the Offer that number of shares of the Company Common Stock that, together with shares of the Company Common Stock already owned by Parent and Merger Sub, would represent at least one share more than 50% of the Fully Diluted Shares (the “Minimum Tender Condition”), and (ii) any waiting period under the HSR Act shall have expired or been terminated. The term “Fully Diluted Shares” means all outstanding securities entitled generally to vote in the election of directors of the Company on a fully diluted basis, after giving effect to the exercise or conversion of all options, rights and securities exercisable or convertible into such voting securities regardless of the conversion or exercise price, the vesting schedule or other terms and conditions thereof (other than the Top-Up Option).
