WHEREAS, the acquisition of the Company shall be effected through a merger (the “Merger”) of the Merger Sub with and into the Company in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”), as a result of which the Company shall become a wholly owned subsidiary of the Parent; and

WHEREAS, concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement and as a condition and inducement to the Parent’s willingness to enter into this Agreement, the stockholders of the Company listed on Schedule A have entered into a voting agreement, dated as of the date of this Agreement, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Company Stockholder Agreement”), pursuant to which such stockholders have, among other things, agreed to vote all of the shares of voting capital stock of the Company that such stockholders own in favor of the Company Voting Proposal (as defined below);

ARTICLE II

CONVERSION OF SECURITIES

2.1                                 Effect of Merger of Capital Stock.

(a)                                  At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder of any shares of the capital stock of the Company or capital stock of the Merger Sub:

(i)                     each share of the Merger Sub’s capital stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and become one validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of the same class of capital stock of the Surviving Corporation;

(ii)                  each share of common stock, $0.001 par value per share, of the Company (“Company Common Stock”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time that is owned by the Parent, the Merger Sub or the Company or any direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Parent, the Merger Sub or the Company, including all shares of Company Common Stock held by the Company as treasury stock, shall automatically be cancelled, and no payment shall be made with respect thereto; and

(iii)               each share of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than shares of Company Common Stock to be cancelled pursuant to clause (ii) above and any Dissenting Shares (as defined in Section 2.1(b) hereof)) shall be automatically cancelled and extinguished and be converted into and become the right to receive the Merger Consideration (as defined in this Section 2.1(a)).  As of the Effective Time, all such shares of Company Common Stock shall no longer be outstanding and shall be automatically cancelled and shall cease to exist, and each holder of a certificate which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented any such shares of Company Common Stock (each, a “Certificate”) and each holder of any such shares of Company Common Stock held in book entry form immediately prior to the Effective Time (“Book Entry Shares”) shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to this Section 2.1(a)(iii) upon surrender of such Certificate or such Book Entry Shares in accordance with Section 2.2, without interest and subject to any applicable withholding rights in accordance with Section 2.2(g).

As used in this Agreement, the “Merger Consideration” shall mean $10.50.

(b)                                 Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, shares (the “Dissenting Shares”) of Company Common Stock that are issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and that are held by any holder who is entitled to demand and properly demands appraisal of such shares pursuant to, and who complies in all respects with, the provisions of Section 262 of the DGCL (“Section 262”) shall not be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration as provided in Section 2.1(a)(iii), but instead such holder shall be entitled to payment of the fair value of such Dissenting Shares in accordance with the

3

provisions of Section 262.  At the Effective Time, all Dissenting Shares shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled and shall cease to exist, and each holder of Dissenting Shares shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the fair value of such shares in accordance with the provisions of Section 262.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any such holder shall fail to perfect or otherwise shall waive, withdraw or lose the right to appraisal under Section 262 or a court of competent jurisdiction shall determine that such holder is not entitled to the relief provided by Section 262, then the right of such holder to be paid the fair value of such holder’s Dissenting Shares under Section 262 shall cease and such Dissenting Shares shall be deemed to have been converted at the Effective Time into, and shall have become, the right to receive the Merger Consideration as provided in Section 2.1(a)(iii), without interest.  The Company shall give the Parent and the Merger Sub prompt notice of any demands for payment, or notices of intent to demand payment, received by the Company with respect to shares of Company Common Stock, and the Parent and the Merger Sub shall have the right to participate in and direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demands.  Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of the Parent and the Merger Sub, make any payment with respect to, or settle, or offer to settle, any such demands, or agree to do any of the foregoing.

(c)                                  In connection with the Merger, each outstanding option to purchase Company Common Stock (“Company Stock Options”) and each restricted stock unit (“RSU”) shall be treated in the manner set forth in Section 6.11.

(d)                                 In connection with the Merger, each outstanding warrant to purchase Company Common Stock (“Company Stock Warrants”) shall be treated in the manner set forth in Section 6.12.

2.2                                 Exchange of Certificates.  The procedures for exchanging outstanding shares of Company Common Stock for the Merger Consideration pursuant to the Merger are as follows:

(a)                                  Paying Agent.  Prior to the Effective Time, the Parent shall select a bank or trust company reasonably acceptable to the Company to act as agent (the “Paying Agent”) for the payment after the Effective Time of the Merger Consideration upon surrender of Certificates or Book Entry Shares.  From time to time after the Effective Time, the Parent shall provide, or cause the Surviving Corporation to provide, to the Paying Agent, on a timely basis as and when needed, cash necessary for payment of the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.1(a)(iii) upon surrender of Certificates and Book Entry Shares (such cash being hereinafter referred to as the “Payment Fund”).

(b)                                 Exchange Procedures.  Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Paying Agent to mail to each holder of record of a Certificate or of Book Entry Shares, within five business days of the Effective Time, (i) a letter of transmittal (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to a Certificate shall pass, only upon delivery of the Certificate to the Paying Agent and, in the case of Book Entry Shares, delivery shall be effected and risk of loss and title shall pass only upon adherence to the procedures set

4

forth in the letter of transmittal, and which letter of transmittal shall be in such form and have such other provisions as the Parent may reasonably specify) and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of Certificates and Book Entry Shares in exchange for the Merger Consideration.  Surrender of any Book Entry Shares shall be effected in accordance with the Paying Agent’s customary procedures with respect to securities represented by book entry.  Upon surrender of a Certificate or Book Entry Shares for cancellation to the Paying Agent or to such other agent or agents as may be appointed by the Parent, together with such letter of transmittal, duly completed and properly executed, and such other documents as may reasonably be required by the Paying Agent, the holder of such Certificate or Book Entry Shares shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor an amount of cash equal to the Merger Consideration that such holder has the right to receive pursuant to Section 2.1(a)(iii), and the Certificate or Book Entry Shares so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled.  In the event of a transfer of ownership of Company Common Stock that is not registered in the stock transfer records of the Company, payment may be made to a person other than the person in whose name the Certificate or Book Entry Shares so surrendered is or are registered if, in the case of a Certificate, such Certificate shall be properly endorsed or otherwise be in proper form for transfer, or, in the case of Book Entry Shares, the person in whose name such Book Entry Shares are registered shall have delivered to the Paying Agent instruments of transfer in such form as the Paying Agent may require in accordance with its customary procedures for the transfer for securities represented by book entry, and, in each case, the person requesting such payment shall pay any transfer or other taxes required by reason of the payment to a person other than the registered holder of such Certificate or Book Entry Shares or establish to the satisfaction of the Parent that such tax has been paid or is not applicable.  Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 2.2, each Certificate and all Book Entry Shares shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive upon such surrender the amount of cash, without interest, into which the shares of Company Common Stock formerly represented by such Certificate or Book Entry Shares have been converted pursuant to Section 2.1(a)(iii).  No interest shall be paid or shall accrue on the cash payable upon surrender of any Certificate or Book Entry Shares.

(c)                                  No Further Ownership Rights in Company Common Stock. The Merger Consideration paid upon the surrender of a Certificate or Book Entry Shares in accordance with the terms of this Article II shall be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to the shares of the capital stock of the Company (the “Company Capital Stock”) formerly represented by such Certificate or Book Entry Shares.  Upon the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed, and there shall be no further registration of transfers on the stock transfer books of the Surviving Corporation of shares of Company Capital Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time.  If, after the Effective Time, any Certificates or Book Entry Shares are presented to the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent for any reason, they shall be cancelled and exchanged as provided in this Article II.

(d)                                 Termination of Payment Fund.  Any portion of the Payment Fund that remains undistributed to the holders of Certificates and Book Entry Shares for six months after

5

the Effective Time shall be delivered by the Paying Agent to the Parent, upon demand, and any holder of a Certificate or Book Entry Shares who has not theretofore complied with this Article II shall thereafter look only to the Parent for payment of the Merger Consideration, but shall have no greater rights against the Parent than may be accorded to general unsecured creditors of the Parent under applicable law.

(e)                                  No Liability.  None of the Parent, the Merger Sub, the Company, the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent shall be liable to any person in respect of any cash from the Payment Fund delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar law.  If any Certificate or any Book Entry Shares have not been surrendered prior to two years after the Effective Time (or immediately prior to such earlier date on which the Merger Consideration in respect of such Certificate or Book Entry Shares would otherwise escheat to or become the property of any Governmental Entity (as defined in Section 3.4)), any such cash in respect of such Certificate or Book Entry Shares shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, become the property of the Surviving Corporation, free and clear of all claims or interest of any person previously entitled thereto.

(f)                                    Investments of Payment Fund.  The Paying Agent shall invest any cash included in the Payment Fund in (i) direct obligations of the United States of America, (ii) obligations for which the full faith and credit of the United States of America is pledged to provide for payment of all principal and interest, (iii) commercial paper obligations receiving the highest rating from either ▇▇▇▇▇’▇ Investor Services, Inc. or Standard & Poor’s, a division of The McGraw Hill Companies, or (iv) money market funds investing solely in a combination of the foregoing, or a combination thereof, as directed by and for the benefit of the Parent; provided, however, that no gain or loss thereon shall affect the amounts payable hereunder and the Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Payment Fund to include at all times cash necessary for payment of the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.1(a)(iii) upon surrender of Certificates or Book Entry Shares. Any interest and other income resulting from such investments shall be paid to and be the property of the Parent.

(g)                                 Withholding Rights.  The Parent, the Surviving Corporation and the Paying Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as any of them reasonably determines are required to be deducted and withheld by any of them with respect to the making of such payment under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), or any other applicable law.  To the extent that amounts are so withheld and paid over to the appropriate taxing authority by the Parent, the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of the shares of Company Common Stock in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made by the Parent, the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent.

2.3                                 Lost Certificates.  If any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, the Paying Agent shall pay to such holder the Merger Consideration required pursuant to Section

6

2.1(a)(iii), in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the holder thereof with such assurances as the Parent or Paying Agent, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the payment of the Merger Consideration, may require of the holder of such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate.

For the avoidance of doubt, the parties agree that the terms “material”, “materially” or “materiality” as used in this Agreement with an initial lower case “m” shall have their respective customary and ordinary meanings, without regard to the meanings ascribed to Company Material Adverse Effect in the prior sentence of this paragraph.

(f)                                    The Company and each of its Subsidiaries has withheld and paid to the appropriate Governmental Entity or is holding for payment not yet due to such Governmental Entity all material amounts required to be withheld from its respective employees and is not liable for any arrears of material amounts of wages, Taxes, penalties or other sums for failure to comply with any of the foregoing.

35

and in such amounts as are usually insured against by similarly situated companies in the same or similar businesses.  Each Insurance Policy is in full force and effect and is valid, outstanding and enforceable, and all premiums due thereon have been paid in full.  None of the Insurance Policies shall terminate or lapse (or be affected in any other adverse manner) by reason of the Merger or any of the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement.  The Company and each of its Subsidiaries have complied in all material respects with the provisions of each Insurance Policy under which it is the insured party.  No insurer under any Insurance Policy has cancelled or generally disclaimed liability under any such policy or indicated any intent to do so or not to renew any such policy.  All claims under the Insurance Policies have been filed in a timely fashion.

45

advisor is, or is reasonably likely to lead to, a Superior Proposal, in each case that did not result from a breach by the Company of this Section 6.1, and not earlier than three business days after providing the notice contemplated by 6.1(c), (x) furnish information or data with respect to the Company to the person making such Acquisition Proposal and its Representatives pursuant to a customary confidentiality agreement not less restrictive of the other party than the Confidentiality Agreement and (y) participate in discussions or negotiations with such person and its Representatives regarding such Acquisition Proposal.  Without limiting the foregoing, it is agreed that any violation of the restrictions set forth in this Section 6.1(a) by any Representative of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, whether or not such person is purporting to act on behalf of the Company or otherwise, shall be deemed to be a breach of this Section 6.1(a) by the Company.

(b)                                 Neither the Company Board nor any committee thereof shall:

(i)                     except as set forth in this Section 6.1(b), withhold, withdraw, qualify or modify, or propose to withhold, withdraw, qualify or modify, in a manner adverse to the Parent or the Merger Sub, the approval or recommendation by the Company Board or any such committee of this Agreement or the Merger;

(ii)                  cause or permit the Company to enter into any letter of intent, memorandum of understanding, agreement in principle, acquisition agreement, merger agreement or similar agreement (an “Acquisition Agreement”) constituting or relating to, or that could reasonably be expected to lead to, any Acquisition Proposal (other than a confidentiality agreement referred to in 6.1(a) entered into in the circumstances referred to in 6.1(a)); or

(iii)               adopt, approve or recommend, or propose to adopt, approve or recommend, any Acquisition Proposal.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, provided the Company shall not have breached its obligations under Section 6.1(a), the Company Board may withdraw or modify the recommendation by the Company Board or any committee thereof of this Agreement or the Merger in circumstances where the Company Board has determined that a Superior Proposal is outstanding, if (A) (1) the Company Board reasonably determines in good faith, after consultation with outside counsel and the Financial Advisor or another nationally recognized independent financial advisor, that to do otherwise would be inconsistent with the fiduciary obligations of the Company Board under applicable law, but only at a time that is prior to the Specified Time and is after the fifth business day following the Parent’s receipt of written notice (an “Adverse Recommendation Notice”) advising the Parent that the Company Board desires to withdraw or modify the recommendation (and the manner and timing in which it intends to do so) (such five business day period, the “Notice Period”), and (2) the Company provides the Parent with a reasonable opportunity to make adjustments in the terms and conditions of this Agreement and negotiates in good faith with the Parent with respect thereto during the Notice Period, in each case as would enable the

46

Company Board or committee thereof to proceed with its recommendation in favor of this Agreement or the Merger, and (B) (1) such withdrawal is due to the existence of a Superior Proposal, and the Company has complied with the requirements of Section 6.1(c), including specifying the material terms and conditions of such Superior Proposal and identifying the person making such Superior Proposal, and (2) the Parent shall not have, at or prior to the end of the Notice Period, made an offer or proposal that the Company Board determines in good faith (after consultation with its financial and legal advisors) to be at least as favorable to the Company’s stockholders from a financial point of view as such Superior Proposal.  Any material changes to the financial terms or any material change to other material terms of such Superior Proposal occurring prior to the Company Board’s effecting a Company Adverse Recommendation Change pursuant to this Section 6.1(b) shall require the Company to provide to the Parent a new Adverse Recommendation Notice and a new Notice Period and to comply with the requirements of this Section 6.1(b) with respect to each such Adverse Recommendation Notice.  In addition, and notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time prior to the Specified Time, the Company Board may in response to a material development or change in circumstances occurring or arising after the date hereof that was neither known to the Company Board nor reasonably foreseeable as of or prior to the date hereof (and not relating to any Acquisition Proposal) (such material development or change in circumstances, an “Intervening Event”), withdraw or modify its recommendation of this Agreement or the Merger if the Company Board has concluded in good faith, after consultation with its outside counsel and the Financial Advisor or another nationally recognized independent financial advisor, that, in light of such Intervening Event, failure to withdraw or modify its recommendation of this Agreement or the Merger would be inconsistent with its fiduciary obligations under applicable law; provided that, the Company Board shall not be entitled to take such action pursuant to this sentence unless the Company has (x) provided to the Parent at least five business days’ prior written notice (unless the Intervening Event arises fewer than five business days prior to the Specified Time, in which case such period shall the number of business days prior to the Specified Time) advising the Parent that the Company Board intends to take such action and specifying the reasons therefor in reasonable detail and (y) during such five business day period, if requested by the Parent, engaged in good faith negotiations with the Parent to amend this Agreement in such a manner that obviates the need for taking such action as a result of the Intervening Event.  Any Company Adverse Recommendation Change shall not change the approval of this Agreement or any other approval of the Company Board, including in any respect that would have the effect of causing any state (including Delaware) corporate takeover statute or other similar statute to be applicable to the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, including the Merger.

(c)                                  The Company shall promptly advise the Parent orally, with written confirmation to follow within 24 hours, of any Acquisition Proposal or any request for nonpublic information in connection with any Acquisition Proposal, or any inquiry with respect to or that may reasonably be expected to lead to any Acquisition Proposal, the material terms and conditions of any such Acquisition Proposal or inquiry and the identity of the person making any such Acquisition Proposal or inquiry.  The Company shall (i) keep the Parent fully informed, on a current basis, of the status and material details (including any material change to the terms) of

47

any such Acquisition Proposal or inquiry, (ii) provide to the Parent as soon as practicable (and in any event within 24 hours) after receipt or delivery thereof copies of all correspondence and other written material sent or provided to the Company or its Representatives, including those provided by electronic mail, from any third party in connection with any Acquisition Proposal or sent or provided by the Company or its Representatives to any third party in connection with any Acquisition Proposal and (iii) if the Parent shall make a counterproposal, consider in good faith the terms of such counterproposal.  Contemporaneously with providing any information to a third party in connection with any such Superior Proposal or inquiry, the Company shall furnish a copy of such information to the Parent.

(d)                                 Nothing contained in Section 6.1 shall be deemed to prohibit the Company from taking and disclosing to its stockholders a position with respect to a tender offer contemplated by Rule 14e-2(a) promulgated under the Exchange Act or from making any required disclosure to the Company’s stockholders if, in the good faith judgment of the Company Board, after consultation with outside counsel, failure so to disclose would be inconsistent with its obligations under applicable law; provided, however, that, in no event shall the Company Board or any committee thereof take, or agree or resolve to take, any action prohibited by Section 6.1(b).

(e)                                  The Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries and its and their Representatives to, cease immediately all communications, discussions and negotiations regarding any proposal that constitutes, or may reasonably be expected to lead to, an Acquisition Proposal.  The Company shall use reasonable best efforts to have all copies of all nonpublic data and information it or its Subsidiaries and its and their Representatives have distributed on or prior to the date of this Agreement to other potential purchasers returned to the Company as soon as possible.

(f)                                    The Company agrees to enforce or cause to be enforced each confidentiality, “standstill” or similar agreement to which the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company is a party at the request of the Parent, including by seeking specific performance of, or injunctive or other equitable relief under, any such agreements.

50

Parent, may or, if requested by the Parent, shall adjourn or postpone the Company Meeting to the extent necessary to ensure that any required supplement or amendment to the Proxy Statement is provided to the Company’s stockholders or, if as of the time for which the Company Meeting is originally scheduled (as set forth in the Proxy Statement), there are insufficient affirmative votes to duly authorize the Company Voting Proposal.

(a)                                  Subject to the terms hereof, including Section 6.6(b), the Company and the Parent shall each use its reasonable best efforts to (i) take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and do, or cause to be done, and to assist and cooperate with the other parties in doing, all things necessary, proper or advisable to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated hereby as promptly as practicable, (ii) as promptly as practicable, obtain from any Governmental Entity or any other third party any consents, licenses, permits, waivers, approvals, authorizations, or orders required to be obtained or made by the Company or the Parent or any of their Subsidiaries in connection with the authorization, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, (iii) as promptly as practicable (and, in the case of the Pre-Merger Notification and Report Form filed pursuant to the HSR Act, in any event within ten business days), make all necessary filings, and thereafter make any other required submissions, with respect to this Agreement and the Merger required under (A) the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, and any other applicable federal or state securities laws, (B) the HSR Act and any related governmental request thereunder, and (C) any other applicable law and (iv) execute or deliver any additional instruments reasonably necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated by, and to fully carry out the purposes of, this Agreement.  The Company and the Parent shall cooperate with each other in connection with the making of all such filings and shall use their respective reasonable best efforts to furnish to each other all information required for any application or other filing to be made pursuant to the rules and regulations of any applicable law (including all information required to be included in the Proxy Statement) in connection with the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement.  For the avoidance of doubt, the Parent and the Company agree that nothing contained in this Section 6.6(a) shall modify or affect their respective rights and responsibilities under Section 6.6(b).

(b)                                 Subject to the terms hereof, the Parent and the Company agree, and shall cause each of their respective Subsidiaries, to cooperate and to use their respective reasonable best efforts to obtain any government clearances or approvals required for Closing under the HSR Act, the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Antitrust Act, as amended, the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Act, as amended, the Federal Trade Commission Act, as amended, and any other federal, state or foreign law or, regulation or decree designed to prohibit, restrict or regulate actions for the purpose or effect of monopolization or restraint of trade (collectively “Antitrust Laws”), and to respond to any government requests for information under any Antitrust Law.  The parties hereto will consult and cooperate with one another, and consider in good faith the views of one another, in connection with any analyses, appearances, presentations, memoranda, briefs, arguments,

51

opinions and proposals made or submitted by or on behalf of any party hereto in connection with proceedings under or relating to any Antitrust Law.  The Parent shall be entitled to direct any proceedings or negotiations with any Governmental Entity relating to any of the foregoing, provided that it shall afford the Company a reasonable opportunity to participate therein.  Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, neither the Parent nor any of its Affiliates shall be under any obligation to (i) make proposals, execute or carry out agreements or submit to orders providing for the sale or other disposition or holding separate (through the establishment of a trust or otherwise) of any assets of the Parent or any of its Affiliates or the Company or any of its Affiliates or the holding separate of the shares of Company Common Stock (or shares of stock of the Surviving Corporation) or imposing or seeking to impose any limitation on the ability of the Parent or any of its Affiliates to conduct their business or own such assets or to acquire, hold or exercise full rights of ownership of the shares of Company Common Stock (or shares of stock of the Surviving Corporation) or (ii) take any action under this Section if the United States Department of Justice or the United States Federal Trade Commission authorizes its staff to seek a preliminary injunction or restraining order, or otherwise initiate administrative litigation, to enjoin consummation of the Merger.

(c)           The Company shall confer with the Parent on a regular and frequent basis as reasonably requested by the Parent concerning operational matters and promptly advise the Parent orally and in writing of any change or event having, or which, insofar as reasonably can be foreseen, could result in, individually or in the aggregate, a Company Material Adverse Effect.  The Company shall promptly provide to the Parent (or its counsel) copies of all filings made by the Company with any Governmental Entity in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.

(e)           Without limiting the generality of Section 6.2(a), if any “fair price” or “control share acquisition” or “anti-takeover” statute, or other similar statute or regulation or any state “blue sky” statute shall become applicable to the Merger or any of the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement or by the Company Stockholder Agreement, the Company and the Company Board shall grant such approvals and take such actions as are reasonably necessary so that the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby may be consummated as promptly as

52

practicable on the terms contemplated hereby and thereby, and otherwise act to minimize the effects of such statute or regulation on the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.

6.7           Notification of Certain Matters.

(a)           The Company shall give prompt notice to the Parent if, at any time (i) any Change occurs or exists that would result in any representation or warranty of the Company contained in this Agreement that is qualified as to materiality or Company Material Adverse Effect not being true and accurate in any respect as if such representation or warranty were made at such time, or any such representation or warranty that is not so qualified not being true and accurate in any material respect as if such representation or warranty were made at such time, or (ii) the Company fails to comply with or satisfy in any material respect any covenant, condition or agreement to be complied with or satisfied by it under this Agreement; provided, however, that no such notification shall be deemed to cure any breach or otherwise affect the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements of the Company or the conditions to the obligations of the parties hereunder.  Without limiting the foregoing, the Company shall, within 24 hours after it has notice of any of the following, notify the Parent of:

(i)       any notice or other communication from any person alleging that the consent of such person is or may be required in connection with the Merger or any of the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement;

(ii)      any notice or other communication from any Governmental Entity in connection with the Merger or any of the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement; and

(iii)     any actions, suits, claims, investigations or proceedings commenced or, to the best of its knowledge, threatened against, relating to or involving or otherwise affecting the Company or any of its Subsidiaries which, if pending on the date of this Agreement, would have been required to have been disclosed pursuant to this Agreement or which relate to the transactions contemplated hereby.

(b)           The Parent shall give prompt notice to the Company if, at any time (i) any Change occurs or exists that would result in any representation or warranty of the Parent or the Merger Sub contained in this Agreement that is qualified as to materiality not being true and accurate in any respect as if such representation or warranty were made at such time, or any such representation or warranty that is not so qualified not being true and accurate in any material respect as if such representation or warranty were made at such time, or (ii) the Parent or the Merger Sub fails to comply with or satisfy in any material respect any covenant, condition or agreement to be complied with or satisfied by them under this Agreement; provided, however, that no such notification shall be deemed to cure any breach or otherwise affect the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements of the Parent or the Merger Sub or the conditions to the obligations of the parties hereunder.

53

6.8           Public Disclosure.  Except as may be required by law or stock market regulations, (a) the press release announcing the execution of this Agreement shall be issued only in such form as shall be mutually agreed upon by the Company and the Parent and (b) the Parent and the Company shall each use reasonable best efforts to consult with the other party before issuing, and provide each other with a reasonable opportunity to review and comment upon, any other press release or otherwise making any public statement with respect to the Merger, this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

6.9           Indemnification.

(a)           From and after the Effective Time, the Parent and the Merger Sub shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, cause the Surviving Corporation, for a period of six years from the Effective Time, to honor all of the Company’s obligations to indemnify and advance expenses, to hold harmless and to exculpate each present and former director and officer of the Company (the “Indemnified Parties”), against any costs or expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages, liabilities or amounts paid in settlement incurred in connection with any claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, arising out of or pertaining to matters existing or occurring at or prior to the Effective Time, whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the Effective Time, to the extent that such obligations to indemnify and hold harmless, advance expenses or exculpate exist on the date of this Agreement pursuant to the Company’s certificate of incorporation, bylaws, or any agreement listed on Section 6.9(a) of the Company Disclosure Schedule.

(b)           For a period of six years after the Effective Time, the Parent and the Merger Sub shall cause the Surviving Corporation to maintain (to the extent available in the market) in effect a directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy covering those persons who are currently covered by the Company’s directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy (a complete and accurate copy of which has been made available to the Parent prior to the date of this Agreement) with coverage in amount and scope at least favorable to such persons as the Company’s existing coverage; provided, that in no event shall the Parent or the Surviving Corporation be required to expend in excess of 200% per year of the annual premium currently paid by the Company for such coverage.  At the Parent’s option, the Parent may purchase prior to the Effective Time a six-year prepaid “tail policy” on terms and conditions providing not materially more favorable benefits as the current directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy covering those persons who are currently covered by the Company’s directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy, in which case the Parent and the Merger Sub shall be relieved of their obligations pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence.  The Company represents and warrants that the annual premium currently paid by the Company for directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage is as set forth on Section 6.9(b) of the Company Disclosure Schedule.

54

(c)           The provisions of this Section 6.9 are intended to be in addition to the rights otherwise available to the current officers and directors of the Company by law, charter, statute, by-law or agreement, and shall operate for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each of the Indemnified Parties, their heirs and their representatives.

(d)           In the event that the Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective successors or assigns (i) consolidates or merges into any other person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity in such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any person, then, and in either such case, if the Parent and the Surviving Corporation’s successors and assigns do not assume all of the obligations set forth in this Section 6.9 by operation of law, then proper provision shall be made such that such successors and assigns assume such obligations. The agreements and covenants contained herein shall not be deemed to be exclusive of any other rights to which any Indemnified Party is entitled, whether pursuant to law, contract or otherwise. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to, shall be construed to or shall release, waive or impair any rights to directors’ and officers’ insurance claims under any policy that is or has been in existence with respect to the Company or any of its subsidiaries or their respective officers, directors and employees, it being understood and agreed that the indemnification provided for in this section is not prior to, or in substitution for, any such claims under any such policies.

6.10         Employee Benefit Matters

(a)           For a period of one year following the Effective Time, the Parent shall provide, or shall cause to be provided, to employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries as of the Effective Time to the extent such employees remain employed by the Surviving Corporation (“Company Employees”) (i) a base salary that is not less than the base salary of each such employee immediately prior to the Effective Time, except for Company Employees who are subject to the Company’s existing change in control plans or who are covered by an individual change in control agreement, and (ii) cash incentive compensation and other employee benefits (excluding equity compensation plans) that are substantially comparable, in the aggregate, to the cash incentive compensation and other employee benefits provided to comparable employees of the Parent as of the Effective Time.  In addition, for a period of six months following the Effective Time, Parent shall provide, or shall cause to be provided, to each Company Employee whose service with the Company is involuntarily terminated without cause during such six-month period severance benefits not less than the severance benefits provided to such Company Employee under the Company’s severance practices in effect on the date of this Agreement, as set forth in Section 3.14(a) of the Company Disclosure Schedule.

(b)           For all purposes (including purposes of vesting, eligibility to participate and level of benefits) under the employee benefit plans of the Parent and its Subsidiaries providing benefits to any Company Employees after the Effective Time (the “New Plans”), each Company Employee shall, subject to applicable law and applicable Tax qualification requirements, be credited with his or her years of service with the Company and its Subsidiaries

55

and their respective predecessors before the Effective Time, to the same extent as such Company Employee was entitled, before the Effective Time, to credit for such service under any similar Company Employee Plan in which such Company Employee participated or was eligible to participate immediately prior to the Effective Time; provided that the foregoing shall not apply (i) to the extent that its application would result in a duplication of benefits, (ii) for purposes of any New Plan under which similarly-situated employees of the Parent and its Subsidiaries do not receive credit for prior service, and (iii) for purposes of any New Plan that is grandfathered or frozen, either with respect to level of benefits or participation. In addition, but subject to the proviso of the preceding sentence, (A) each Company Employee shall be immediately eligible to participate, without any waiting time, in any and all New Plans to the extent coverage under such New Plan is comparable to the Company Employee Plan in which such Company Employee participated immediately prior to the Effective Time (such plans, collectively, the “Old Plans”), (B) for purposes of each New Plan providing primarily medical, dental, pharmaceutical or vision benefits to any Company Employee (each, a “New Medical Plan”), the Parent shall cause all pre-existing condition exclusions and actively-at-work requirements of such New Plan to be waived for such Company Employee and his or her covered dependents, unless such conditions would not have been waived under an Old Plan of the Company or its Subsidiaries in which such Company Employee participated immediately prior to the Effective Time, and (C) in the event that a Company Employee commences participation in  any New Medical Plan prior to January 1, 2012 or after March 31, 2012, Parent shall work in good faith and use its reasonable best efforts to cause  such Company Employee and his or her covered dependents to be given credit under the New Medical Plan for amounts paid during the portion of the plan year of the Old Plan ending on the date such Company Employee’s participation in the corresponding New Medical Plan begins, to the same extent as credit was given under the analogous Old Plan, for purposes of satisfying all deductible, coinsurance and maximum out-of-pocket requirements applicable to such Company Employee and his or her covered dependents for the applicable plan year as if such amounts had been paid in accordance with such New Medical Plan, to the extent information concerning such credit amounts is timely provided to the New Medical Plan in a commercially usable format and such crediting is administratively feasible.  For the avoidance of doubt, no such credit shall be provided if the effective date of participation in the New Medical Plan is on or after January 1, 2012 and before April 1, 2012.

(c)           The continued participation and coverage following the Effective Time under the Company Employee Plans shall be deemed to satisfy the obligations under Section 6.10(a) and (b) for the time period of such continued participation and coverage, it being understood that the Company Employees may commence participating in the employee benefit plans of the Parent on different dates following the Effective Time.

(d)           Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.10, the provisions of Sections 6.10(a) and (b) shall apply only with respect to Company Employees who are primarily employed in the United States. With respect to Company Employees not described in the preceding sentence, from and after the Effective Time, Parent shall, or shall cause the

(a)           Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall take all steps necessary to cause all Company Stock Options, whether vested or unvested, that are outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time to become fully vested and each such Company Stock Option to be cancelled, as of the Effective Time, in exchange for the right to receive an amount in cash (without interest and less any applicable Tax withholding in accordance with Section 2.2(g) with respect to such payment) determined by multiplying (x) the excess, if any, of the Merger Consideration over the applicable exercise price per share of such Company Stock Option by (y) the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Company Stock Option (the “Option Consideration”).  In the event that the exercise price of any Company Stock Option is equal to or greater than the Merger Consideration, the Company shall take such action as is required to cause such Company Stock Option to be cancelled for no consideration and to have no further force or effect from and after the Effective Time.  At least 10 business days prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall provide the Parent and the Merger Sub with a schedule including the names of holders of Company Stock Options and the amount of Option Consideration to be paid to each such holder in respect of such Company Stock Options pursuant to this Section 6.11(a), which schedule shall be updated by the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time.  Payment of the Option Consideration shall be made following the Effective Time in accordance with the Company’s payroll practices and, to the extent practicable, as part of the payment made in respect of the first full payroll period ending after the Effective Date, but in no event later than 60 days from the Effective Date.

(b)           Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall take all steps necessary to cause all RSUs, whether vested or unvested, that are outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time to become fully vested and each such RSU to be cancelled, as of the Effective

57

Time, in exchange for the right to receive an amount in cash (without interest and less any applicable Tax withholding in accordance with Section 2.2(g) with respect to such payment) determined by multiplying (x) the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such RSU by (B) the Merger Consideration (the “RSU Consideration”).  At least 10 business days prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall provide the Parent and the Merger Sub with a schedule including the names of holders of RSUs and the amount of RSU Consideration to be paid to each such holder in respect of such RSUs pursuant to this Section 6.11(b), which schedule shall be updated by the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time.  Payment of the RSU Consideration shall be made following the Effective Time in accordance with the Company’s payroll practices and, to the extent practicable, as part of the payment made in respect of the first full payroll period ending after the Effective Date, but in no event later than 60 days from the Effective Date.

(c)           Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall take such actions as are necessary to terminate each of its Company Stock Plans, including as described in this Section 6.11, all awards thereunder, effective as of the Effective Time.

6.12         Treatment of Company Stock Warrants.  Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to cause all Company Stock Warrants to be either terminated or exercised prior to the Effective Time, and in the case of any such termination, in exchange for the right to receive a cash payment from the Company in an amount equal to the amount obtained by multiplying (x) the excess, if any, of the Merger Consideration over the applicable exercise price per share of such Company Stock Warrant by (y) the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Company Stock Warrant.  Any Company Stock Warrants that are not terminated prior to the Effective Time shall be exercisable for a cash payment from the Company in an amount equal to the amount obtained by multiplying (x) the excess, if any, of the Merger Consideration over the applicable exercise price share of such Company Stock Warrant by (y) the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Company Stock Warrant.  In the event that the exercise price of any Company Stock Warrant is equal to or greater than the Merger Consideration, the Company shall take such action as is required to cause such Company Stock Warrant to be cancelled for no consideration and to have no further force or effect from and after the Effective Time.

6.13         401(k) Plan.  Prior to the Effective Time, the Company Board  or, if appropriate, any committee administering the Caliper Life Sciences 401(k) Plan, shall adopt such resolutions or take such other actions as are required to terminate such plan on the day prior to the Effective Time.  The Company shall preserve all documentation and records related to such plan.

6.14         Employee Stock Purchase Plans.  As soon as practicable following the date of this Agreement, the Company Board or, if appropriate, any committee administering the Company’s 1999 Employee Stock Purchase Plan or the Company’s 2011 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (collectively, the “ESPPs”), shall adopt such resolutions or take such other actions as are required to (i) provide that any ongoing offering period under the ESPPs shall end as of the

58

Effective Time and all options then outstanding shall be exercised and (ii) terminate each ESPP, in each case, immediately prior to the Effective Time.  Until the earlier of the termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms or the Effective Time, (i) the Company shall not permit any participant in either ESPP to increase the level of contributions to the ESPPs in any current offering period under the ESPPs, and (ii) no new offering period under either ESPP shall commence.

6.15         Stockholder Litigation.  Until the earlier of the termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms or the Effective Time, the Company shall give the Parent the opportunity to participate in the defense or settlement of any stockholder litigation against the Company or the Company Board relating to the Merger or any of the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and shall not settle any such litigation without the Parent’s prior written consent.

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

(b)           by either the Parent or the Company:

(i)       if the Merger is not consummated on or before March 31, 2012 (the “Outside Date”); provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1(b)(i) shall not be available to any party whose failure to fulfill any obligations under this Agreement has primarily caused, or resulted in, the failure of the Merger to occur on or before the Outside Date;

(ii)      if any Governmental Entity issues an order, decree or ruling or takes any other action, in each case having the effect of permanently restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the Merger and such order, decree, ruling or other action shall have become final and nonappealable; or

(iii)     if at the Company Meeting at which a vote on the Company Voting Proposal is taken, the Required Company Stockholder Vote in favor of the Company Voting Proposal shall not have been obtained; provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1(b)(iii) shall not be available to the Company if (A) at such time the Company is in breach of or has failed to fulfill its obligations under this Agreement or (B) the failure to obtain the requisite vote has been caused by a breach of the Company Stockholder Agreement by any party thereto other than the Parent.

(c)           by the Parent:

(i)       if: (A) the Company Board shall have failed to recommend approval of the Company Voting Proposal in the Proxy Statement or shall have withheld, withdrawn, qualified or modified its recommendation of the Company Voting Proposal in a manner adverse to the Parent; (B) following the request of the Parent, the Company Board fails within ten business days of such request to reaffirm its recommendation that the Company Voting Proposal in

(ii)      if the Company breaches or fails to perform in any material respect any of its representations, warranties or covenants contained in this Agreement, which breach or failure to perform (A) would give rise to the failure of a condition set forth in Section 7.1 or 7.2 and (B) cannot be or has not been cured within 20 days after the giving of written notice to the Company of such breach or failure to perform; or

9.10         Remedies.  Except as otherwise provided herein, any and all remedies herein expressly conferred upon a party will be deemed cumulative with and not exclusive of any other remedy conferred hereby, or by law or equity upon such party, and the exercise by a party of any one remedy will not preclude the exercise of any other remedy.  The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached.  Accordingly, 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.

9.11         Submission to Jurisdiction.  Each of the parties hereto (a) consents to submit itself to the exclusive personal jurisdiction of the Delaware Court of Chancery, New Castle County, or if that court does not have jurisdiction, a federal court sitting in the State of Delaware in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the Merger or any of the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (b) agrees that all claims in respect of such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in any such court, (c) agrees that it will not attempt to deny or defeat such personal jurisdiction by motion or other request for leave from any such court, and (d) agrees not to bring any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the Merger or any of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement in any other court.  Each of the parties hereto waives any defense or inconvenient forum to the maintenance of any action or proceeding so brought and waives any bond, surety or other security that might be required of any other party with respect thereto.  Any party hereto may make service on another party by sending or delivering a copy of the process to the party to be served at the address and in the manner provided for the giving of notices in Section 9.2.  Nothing in this Section 9.11, however, shall affect the right of any party to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by law.

9.12         WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.  EACH OF THE PARENT, THE MERGER SUB AND THE COMPANY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHTS TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THE ACTIONS OF THE PARENT, THE MERGER SUB OR THE COMPANY IN THE NEGOTIATION, ADMINISTRATION, PERFORMANCE AND ENFORCEMENT HEREOF.
