ARTICLE I.

ARTICLE II.THE OFFER

Section .The Offer.

(a)Parent shall not, and shall cause Sub not to, commence (within the meaning of Rule 14d-2(a) of the ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇) the Offer prior to the date that is 14 days after the date hereof. Provided that this Agreement shall not have been terminated in accordance with Section 10.01, Parent shall cause Sub to, and Sub shall, commence (within the meaning of Rule 14d-2(a) of the ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇) the Offer as promptly as practicable after such date (but in no event later than ten (10) Business Days following such date or such later date as the parties may mutually agree in writing). The Sub shall be obligated to accept for payment and to, subject to any applicable rules and regulations of the SEC, including Rule 14e-1(c) promulgated under the 1934 Act (relating to Sub’s obligation to pay for or return tendered Shares promptly after the termination or withdrawal of the Offer), pay for any Shares validly tendered and not withdrawn prior to the expiration of the Offer (as it may be extended in accordance with this Agreement), subject to the condition that there shall be validly tendered (excluding Shares tendered pursuant to guaranteed delivery procedures that have not yet been delivered in settlement or satisfaction of such guarantee) in accordance with the terms of the Offer prior to the expiration date of the Offer and not withdrawn, a number of Shares that, together with the Shares then beneficially owned by Parent and its Affiliates, represents at least a majority of the total number of Shares then outstanding on a Fully Diluted Basis (the “Minimum Condition”) and to the other conditions set forth in Annex I (together with the Minimum Condition, the “Offer Conditions”) and to no other conditions. Subject to the prior satisfaction or waiver (except for the Minimum Condition) of the Offer Conditions, promptly after the later of (i) the earliest date as of which Sub is permitted under applicable Law to accept for payment Shares tendered pursuant to the Offer and (ii) the earliest date as of which each of the Offer Conditions has been satisfied, or waived by Parent or Sub, Sub shall (and Parent shall cause Sub to) consummate the Offer in accordance with its terms and accept for payment each Share validly tendered and not properly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer and promptly following the acceptance of Shares for payment pursuant to the Offer pay the Offer Price (without interest) in compliance with Rule 14e-1(c) of the 1934 Act for each Share validly tendered and not properly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer. The obligation of Sub (and of Parent to cause Sub) to accept for payment, and pay the Offer Price (without interest) for, each Share validly tendered and not properly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer shall be subject only to the satisfaction, or waiver (except for the Minimum Condition) by Parent or Sub, of each of the Offer Conditions. The Company agrees that no Shares held by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries will be tendered pursuant to the Offer.

(b)Sub expressly reserves the right to waive (except for the Minimum Condition) any of the Offer Conditions and to make any other changes in the terms of or conditions to the Offer; provided that without the prior written consent of the Company (which consent may be granted or withheld by the Company in its sole discretion) (i) no change may be made that changes the form of consideration to be paid, or decreases the Offer Price or the number of Shares sought in the Offer, (ii) no change may be made that amends or adds to the Offer Conditions or amends any other term of the Offer, in each case in any manner that is adverse to the shareholders of the Company, and except for any change or amendment that is required by Law or any waiver of any Offer Condition (other than the Minimum Condition), (iii) the expiration date shall not be extended except as otherwise provided herein, and (iv) Sub shall not terminate the Offer prior to any scheduled expiration date except in the event that this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 10.01.

(c)Unless extended as provided in this Agreement, the Offer shall initially expire at 12:00 midnight, New York City time on the date (the “Initial Expiration Time”) that is twenty (20) Business Days

after the commencement of the Offer (determined pursuant to Rule 14d-1(g)(3) and Rule 14e-1(a) under the 1934 Act). Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) Sub shall (or at the request of the Company, Parent shall cause Sub to) extend the Offer, if at the Initial Expiration Time or any extension thereof the Offer Conditions shall not have been satisfied (other than conditions which by their nature are to be satisfied on the Acceptance Date) or waived (except for the Minimum Condition), for successive extension periods of not more than ten (10) Business Days each (except as required by Law) in order to permit the satisfaction of the Offer Conditions and (ii) Sub shall extend the Offer for any period required by any Law or by any rule, regulation, interpretation or position of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) or the staff thereof or the Nasdaq Global Market applicable to the Offer; provided that in no event shall Sub be required to extend the Offer beyond the End Date. Following expiration of the Offer, Sub may, in its sole discretion, provide a subsequent offering period (“Subsequent Offering Period”) in accordance with Rule 14d-11 of the 1934 Act if, as of the expiration of the Offer, all of the Offer Conditions have been satisfied or waived, but there shall not have been validly tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to the Offer that number of Shares necessary to permit the Merger to be effected without a meeting of the Company’s shareholders in accordance with the MBCA. Subject to the foregoing, including the requirements of Rule 14d-11, and upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer, Sub shall, and Parent shall cause it to, accept for payment and pay for, as promptly as practicable after the expiration of the Offer, including any Subsequent Offering Period, all Shares (i) validly tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to the Offer and (ii) validly tendered in the Subsequent Offering Period (the date on which Shares are first accepted for payment, the “Acceptance Date”). The Offer Price payable in respect of each Share validly tendered and not properly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer shall be paid net to the holder thereof in cash, subject to reduction for any applicable withholding Taxes payable in respect thereof in accordance with Section 2.07.

Each of Parent, Sub and the Company agrees to promptly correct any information provided by it for use in the Offer Documents if and to the extent that such information shall have become false or misleading in any material respect, and Parent and Sub further agree to take all steps necessary to cause the Offer Documents as so corrected to be filed with the SEC and to promptly be disseminated to holders of Shares, in each case as and to the extent required by applicable Law. The Company shall furnish or otherwise make available to Parent and Sub and their legal counsel all information concerning the Company’s shareholders, including a list, as of the most recent practicable date, of the stockholders of the Company, mailing labels and any available listing or computer files containing the names and addresses of all record and beneficial holders of the Shares, and a list of security positions of Shares held in stock depositories that Parent or Sub may reasonably request in connection with any action contemplated by this Section 1.01(d), including communicating the Offer to the record and beneficial holders of the Shares; provided that, except as required by Law or in connection with steps as are necessary to disseminate the Offer Documents and any other documents necessary to consummate the Merger, Parent and Sub shall keep confidential and not disclose such information, as required by the Confidentiality Agreement, shall use such information only in connection with the Offer and the Merger and, if this Agreement shall be terminated, shall, upon request, deliver to the Company or destroy all copies of such information then in their possession or control in accordance with the Confidentiality Agreement. The Company and its counsel shall be given reasonable opportunity to review and comment on the Offer Documents prior to the filing thereof with the SEC, and Parent and Sub shall give reasonable and good faith consideration to all

reasonable additions, deletions or changes thereto suggested by the Company and its legal counsel that Parent reasonably determines to be appropriate. Parent and Sub agree to provide the Company and its counsel with any comments Parent, Sub or their counsel may receive from the SEC or its staff with respect to the Offer Documents promptly after receipt of such comments, and the Company shall have the right to consult with Parent, Sub and their counsel before responding to any such comments, and Parent and Sub shall give reasonable and good faith consideration to each response to those views and comments of the Company and its legal counsel related thereto that Parent reasonably determines to be appropriate. Each of Parent and Sub shall respond promptly to any comments of the SEC or its staff with respect to the Offer Documents or the Offer.

(e)Parent shall provide or cause to be provided to Sub as promptly as practicable following the expiration of the Offer and any Subsequent Offering Period, as applicable, all funds necessary to pay for those Shares that have been validly tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to the Offer and that Sub is obligated to accept for payment pursuant to the Offer and permitted to accept for payment under applicable Law.

Section .Company Action.

As promptly as practicable after the Offer Documents are filed with the SEC pursuant to the first sentence of Section 1.01(d) (but in no event later than the following Business Day after the Offer Documents are filed with the SEC), the Company shall file with the SEC and, to the extent required by applicable U.S. securities Laws, disseminate to holders of Shares a Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9 (together with all exhibits, amendments or supplements thereto, the “Schedule 14D-9”) that, subject to Section 6.04(d), shall reflect the Company Board Recommendation. To the extent requested by the Company, Parent and Sub shall cause the Schedule 14D-9 to be mailed or otherwise disseminated to the holders of Shares together with the Offer Documents disseminated to the holders of Shares. Each of the Company, Parent and Sub agrees promptly to correct or supplement any information provided by it or any of its Affiliates for use in the Schedule 14D-9 if and to the extent that it shall have become false or misleading in any material respect. The Company shall cause the Schedule 14D-9 as so corrected to be filed with the SEC and to be disseminated to holders of Shares, in each case as and to the extent required by applicable U.S. securities Laws. Parent, Sub and their counsel shall be given a reasonable opportunity to review and comment (i) on the Schedule 14D-9 each time before it is filed with the SEC after the date hereof, and the Company shall give reasonable and good faith consideration to all additions, deletions or changes thereto suggested by Parent and its legal counsel that the Company reasonably determines to be appropriate and (ii) on any correspondence with the SEC (including comment response letters) concerning the Schedule 14D-9, and the Company shall give reasonable good faith consideration in each response to those views and comments made by Parent, Sub and their counsel related thereto that the Company reasonably determines to be appropriate.

Section .Directors.

(a)Effective upon the acceptance for payment by Sub for all Shares validly tendered and not properly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer at the Acceptance Date, which Shares represent at least a majority of the issued and outstanding Shares on a Fully Diluted Basis, and from time to time thereafter as Shares are acquired by Parent or Sub pursuant to the Offer, to the extent permitted by applicable Law and the rules of the Nasdaq Global Market, Parent shall be entitled to designate the number of directors, rounded up to the next whole number, on the Company’s Board of Directors that equals the product of (i) the total number of directors on the Company’s Board of Directors (giving effect to the election of any additional directors

pursuant to this Section 1.03) and (ii) the percentage that the number of Shares then beneficially owned by Parent and its Affiliates (including such Shares accepted for payment) bears to the total number of Shares outstanding, and the Company shall take all action reasonably necessary to cause Parent’s designees to be elected or appointed to the Company’s Board of Directors, including increasing the number of directors and seeking and accepting resignations of incumbent directors. At such time, the Company shall, upon Parent’s request and to the extent permitted by applicable Law and the rules of the Nasdaq Global Market, cause individuals designated by Parent to constitute the number of members, rounded up to the next whole number, on (A) each committee of the Company’s Board of Directors and (B) each board of directors of each Subsidiary of the Company (and each committee thereof) that, in each case, represents the same percentage as such individuals represent on the Company’s Board of Directors; provided that if a committee of the Company’s Board of Directors is established to take action under this Agreement, such committee shall be composed only of Continuing Directors. Notwithstanding the foregoing and subject to Section 1.03(b) below, in connection with the election or appointment of Parent’s designees pursuant to this Section 1.03(a) and until the Effective Time, the Company’s Board of Directors shall at all times include, and the Company, Parent and Sub shall cause the Company’s Board of Directors to at all times include, at least three (3) Continuing Directors and each committee of the Company’s Board of Directors and the board of directors of each Subsidiary of the Company shall at all times include, and the Company, Parent and Sub shall cause each committee of the Company’s Board of Directors and the board of directors of each Subsidiary of the Company to at all times include, at least two (2) Continuing Directors. A “Continuing Director” shall mean a person who is a member of the Company’s Board of Directors as of the date hereof or a person selected by the Continuing Directors then in office. If the number of Continuing Directors is reduced to below two prior to the Effective Time, any remaining Continuing Directors (or Continuing Director, if there shall be only one remaining) shall be entitled to designate a person to fill such vacancy who is not an officer, director, stockholder or designee of Parent or any of its Affiliates and who shall be deemed to be a Continuing Director for all purposes of this Agreement, or, if no Continuing Directors then remain, the other directors shall designate two persons to fill such vacancies who are not officers, directors, stockholders or designees of Parent or any of its Affiliates, and such persons shall be deemed to be Continuing Directors for all purposes of this Agreement.

(b)Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company’s obligations to appoint Parent’s designees to the Company’s Board of Directors, each board of directors of each Subsidiary of the Company and each committee of the foregoing shall be subject to compliance with the Company’s articles of incorporation and bylaws and applicable Law, including Section 14(f) of the 1934 Act and Rule 14f-1 promulgated thereunder. Subject to the foregoing, the Company shall promptly (but no later than ten (10) Business Days prior to the initial expiration date of the Offer) take all actions required pursuant to Section 14(f) and Rule 14f-1 in order to fulfill its obligations under this Section 1.03, including mailing to shareholders of the Company the information required by Section 14(f) and Rule 14f-1 as is necessary to enable Parent’s designees to be elected or designated to the Board of Directors (provided that Parent or Sub shall have provided to the Company on a timely basis (but no later than five (5) Business Days after the commencement of the Offer) all information with respect to itself and its nominees, officers, directors and Affiliates required by Section 14(f) and Rule 14f-1). Parent shall supply such information to the Company in writing and be solely responsible for any information with respect to itself and its nominees, officers, directors and Affiliates required by Section 14(f) and Rule 14f-1.

(c)Following the election or appointment of Parent’s designees pursuant to Section 1.03(a) and until the Effective Time, the approval of a majority of the Continuing Directors (or of the sole Continuing Director if there shall then be only one (1) Continuing Director) shall be required, and no further action of the Company’s Board of Directors shall be required, to authorize (i) any amendment or termination of this Agreement by the Company, (ii) any agreement between the Company and any of its Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and Parent, Sub or any of their respective Affiliates (other than the Company and its Subsidiaries), on the other hand, (iii) the taking of any action by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that would prevent

or would materially delay the consummation of the Merger, (iv) any extension of time for performance of any obligation or action hereunder by Parent or Sub, (v) any exercise or waiver of any of the Company’s rights or remedies under this Agreement, (vi) any amendment to the articles of incorporation or bylaws of the Company, (vii) take any action adversely affecting the rights of the Company’s shareholders or (viii) take any other action of the Company’s Board of Directors under or in connection with this Agreement or the Transactions contemplated hereby or that would interfere with, hinder or delay the Transactions contemplated hereby. To the extent permitted under applicable Law, following the time directors designated by Parent are elected or appointed to the Company’s Board of Directors and prior to the Effective Time, in addition to any requirements under the Company’s articles of incorporation and bylaws, any quorum of the Company’s Board of Directors for the purposes of any meeting thereof or transacting of business thereby with respect to the approval of any of the foregoing actions shall be deemed to require the presence of at least one (1) Continuing Director. The Continuing Directors shall have the authority to retain one counsel and financial advisor of their choice at the reasonable expense of the Company as determined appropriate by the Continuing Directors for the purpose of fulfilling their obligations hereunder and shall have the authority, after the Acceptance Date, to institute any action on behalf of the Company to enforce the performance of this Agreement in accordance with its terms. Following the Acceptance Date, and prior to the Effective Time, neither Parent nor Sub shall take any action to remove any Continuing Director absent cause and subject to the terms of the Company’s articles of incorporation and bylaws.

Section .Top-Up Option

(a)Subject to Section 1.04(b) and (c) the Company grants to Sub an irrevocable option, for so long as this Agreement has not been terminated pursuant to the provisions hereof and exercisable only on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement (the “Top-Up Option”), to purchase from the Company at a price equal to the Offer Price paid in the Offer, the lowest number of authorized and unissued Shares that, when added to the number of Shares, directly or indirectly, owned by Parent or Sub or their Affiliates at the time of exercise of the Top-Up Option, constitutes one Share more than 90% of the Shares on a Fully Diluted Basis that would be outstanding immediately after the issuance of all Shares to be issued upon exercise of the Top-Up Option (the Shares to be issued upon exercise of the Top-Up Option, the “Top-Up Shares”).

(b)The Top-Up Option may be exercised by Sub in accordance with Section 1.04(c) only once, in whole, but not in part, at any time during the ten (10) Business Day period following the Acceptance Date, or if any Subsequent Offering Period is provided, during the 10 Business Day period following the expiration date of such Subsequent Offering Period, and only if Sub shall own as of such time less than 90% of the outstanding Shares on a Fully Diluted Basis; provided that notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Top-Up Option shall not be exercisable (i) to the extent the number of Shares issuable upon exercise of the Top-Up Option would exceed the number of authorized but unissued and unreserved Shares, (ii) unless immediately following the exercise of the Top-Up Option, the number of Shares owned in the aggregate by Parent and Sub constitutes at least one Share more than 90% of the Shares on a Fully Diluted Basis that would be outstanding immediately after the issuance of all Shares to be issued upon exercise of the Top-Up Option, (iii) unless the Minimum Condition shall have been satisfied, (iv) on or after the earlier of (A) the Effective Time and (B) the termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, (v) to the extent that the issuance of the Top-Up Option Shares would require approval of the Company’s shareholders under Nasdaq Global Market Rule 4350, or (vi) if any applicable Law shall be in effect that has the effect of enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the exercise of the Top-Up Option or the issuance and delivery of the Top-Up Option Shares. The aggregate purchase price payable for the Top-Up Shares being purchased by Sub pursuant to the Top-Up Option shall be determined by multiplying the number of such Shares by the Offer Price, without interest. Such purchase price shall be payable by Sub (A) in cash or by wire transfer or cashier’s check, (B) by executing and delivering to the Company a promissory note having a principal amount equal to the purchase price, or (C) any combination of the foregoing. Any such promissory note shall bear interest at the rate of the prime lending rate prevailing from time to time during such period as published in

the Wall Street Journal, shall mature on the first anniversary of the date of execution and delivery of such promissory note and may be prepaid without premium or penalty and shall have no other material terms.

(c)In the event Sub wishes to exercise the Top-Up Option, Sub shall give the Company at least two (2) Business Days’ prior written notice (the “Top-Up Notice”) setting forth (i) the number of Shares, directly or indirectly, owned by Parent and Sub at the time of such notice (giving effect to the acceptance of Shares in the Offer), (ii) the number of Top-Up Shares that Sub intends to purchase pursuant to the Top-Up Option and (iii) the manner in which Sub intends to pay the applicable purchase price. The Top-Up Notice shall also include an undertaking signed by Parent and Sub that, as promptly as practicable following such exercise of the Top-Up Option, Sub intends to (and Sub shall, and Parent shall cause Sub to, as promptly as practicable after such exercise) consummate the Merger in accordance with the MBCA as contemplated by Section 8.05. At the closing of the purchase of the Top-Up Shares, which shall take place at the location specified in Section 2.01(d), Parent and 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 Sub certificates representing the Top-Up Shares or, at Parent’s or Sub’s request or otherwise if the Company does not then have certificated Shares, the applicable number of non-certificated Shares represented by book-entry. The parties agree to use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Merger to be consummated in accordance with the MBCA as contemplated by Section 8.05 as close in time as practicable to (including, to the extent practicable, on the same day as) the issuance of the Top-Up Shares.

(d)Parent and Sub understand that the Top-Up Shares will not be registered under the 1933 Act and will be issued in reliance upon an applicable exemption thereunder.

shareholders under applicable Law), it being understood that during the notice period, if any material revisions are made to the Superior Proposal, the Company will be required to provide a new notice hereunder to comply with this Section 6.04(d);

(iii)make an Adverse Recommendation Change in response to a material development or change in circumstances relating to the business, results of operations, assets or financial condition of the Company and its Subsidiaries that is unknown and not reasonably foreseeable by the Board of Directors as of the date hereof and which event or change in circumstance first occurs or arises after the date hereof and prior to the Acceptance Date (such material development or change in circumstances, an “Intervening Event”), if the Board of Directors determines in good faith (after consultation with its outside legal and financial advisors) that, as a result of such Intervening Event, the failure to take such action would be a breach of its fiduciary duties under applicable Law; provided, that the Company provides Parent at least three (3) Business Days prior written notice of such Adverse Recommendation Change advising Parent that it intends to take such action and specifying the basis therefor in reasonable detail.

(e) Nothing in this Section 6.04 or elsewhere in this Agreement shall prevent the Company or its Board of Directors from (i) disclosing any position contemplated by, or otherwise complying with, Rule 14d-9 or Rule 14e-2(a) promulgated under the 1934 Act with respect to an Acquisition Proposal (or any similar communication to holders of Shares in connection with the making or amendment of a tender offer or exchange offer), (ii) making any “stop, look and listen” communication pursuant to Rule 14d-9(f) under the 1934 Act (or any similar communication to holders of Shares in connection with the making or amendment of a tender offer or exchange offer) if the Board of Directors has determined in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel, that failure to do so would be a breach of its fiduciary duties under applicable Law or (iii) taking any action that any court of competent jurisdiction orders the Company to take; provided any disclosure under clause (ii) above shall be deemed to be an Adverse Recommendation Change unless the Board of Directors expressly publicly reaffirms the Company Board Recommendation in such communication or within two (2) Business Days after being requested to do so by Parent.

(f) For purposes of this Agreement:

“Acquisition Proposal” means any inquiry, proposal or offer from any Person or Persons (other than Parent and its Affiliates) relating to any (i) acquisition of assets of the Company and/or its Subsidiaries (including outstanding securities of Subsidiaries) representing 20% or more of the Company’s consolidated assets, (ii) acquisition of 20% or more of the outstanding equity interests of the Company, (iii) tender offer or exchange offer that if consummated would result in any Person beneficially owning 20% or more of the outstanding equity interests of the Company (whether in one transaction or in a series of transactions and whether directly or indirectly) or (iv) merger, consolidation, share exchange, business combination, recapitalization, joint venture, reorganization, liquidation, dissolution or similar transaction involving the Company, in each case, other than the Transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

“Superior Proposal” means any bona fide written Acquisition Proposal (with all percentages in subparagraphs in the definition of “Acquisition Proposal” increased to 50%) that does not arise out of or result from any violation of this Section 6.04 and that is on terms that the Board of Directors determines in good faith (after consultation with its outside legal and financial advisors and taking into account all the terms and conditions of the Acquisition Proposal) is reasonably likely to be capable of consummation in accordance with its terms, is more favorable to the Company’s shareholders than the Offer and the Merger (after giving effect

to any subsequent offer made by Parent in response to such Superior Proposal and taking into account all financial, regulatory, legal and other aspects of such proposal) and the financing of which is fully committed or in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors is reasonably capable of being fully financed.

case, as in effect on the date of this Agreement; provided that if any claim is asserted against any individual entitled to the protections of such provisions within such six-year period, all rights to indemnification, limitations on personal liability and advancement of expenses shall continue until the final disposition of any such indemnification claims;

similar representatives as third party beneficiaries. The rights and obligations under this Section 7.03 shall survive consummation of the Merger and shall not be amended in a manner that is adverse to the Indemnified Persons without the consent of the Indemnified Persons affected thereby.

Section .Merger Without Meeting of Shareholders.

Section .Section 16 Matters.

Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall take all such steps as may be required to cause any disposition of Shares in the Merger (including derivative securities with respect to such Shares) by each individual who is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16(a) of the 1934 Act with respect to the Company to be exempt under Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the 1934 Act.

Section .Notices of Certain Events.

Subject to applicable Law, each of the Company, Sub and Parent shall promptly notify the others of:

(a)any notice or other communication received by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Parent or any of its Affiliates from any Person alleging that the consent of such Person is or may be required in connection with the Transactions contemplated by this Agreement;

(c)any actions, suits, investigations or proceedings commenced or, to its knowledge, threatened against the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Parent or any of its Affiliates that relate to the consummation of the Transactions; and

(d) such party becoming aware that any representation or warranty made by it in this Agreement has become untrue or inaccurate in any material respect, or of any failure of the party 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, in any such case if and only to the extent that such untruth or inaccuracy, or such failure, would reasonably be expected to cause any of the conditions to the obligations of the other party to consummate the Transactions contemplated hereby to fail to be satisfied at the then scheduled expiration of the Offer.

Section .Takeover Statutes.

If any “fair price,” “moratorium,” “control share acquisition” or other similar anti-takeover statute or regulation shall become applicable to the Transactions contemplated hereby, each of the Company, Parent and Sub and the respective members of their boards of directors shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, use commercially reasonable efforts to grant such approvals and take such actions as are necessary so that the Transactions contemplated by this Agreement may be consummated as promptly as practicable on the terms contemplated herein and otherwise act to eliminate or minimize the effects of such statute or regulation on the Transactions contemplated hereby.

Section .Litigation.

The Company shall promptly advise Parent of any Legal Proceeding commenced after the date hereof against the Company or any of its directors (in their capacity as such) by any Company Shareholders (on their own behalf or on behalf of the Company) relating to this Agreement or the Transactions contemplated hereby, and shall keep Parent reasonably informed regarding any such litigation. The Company shall give Parent, at its sole expense, the opportunity to participate in the defense or settlement of any shareholder litigation that currently exists or arises after the date of this Agreement against the Company or its directors or officers relating to any of the Transactions and no such settlement shall be agreed to without Parent’s prior written consent to such settlement, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall cooperate with Parent and use commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and do or cause to be done all things, reasonably necessary, proper or advisable on its part under applicable Laws and rules and policies of the Nasdaq Global Market to enable the delisting by the Surviving Corporation of the Shares from the Nasdaq Global Market and the deregistration of the Shares under the 1934 Act promptly after the Effective Time. Parent will use all commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Surviving Corporation to file with the SEC (a) a Form 25 on the Closing Date (if not filed by the Nasdaq Global Market on behalf of the Company) and (b) a Form 15 on the first Business Day that is at least ten (10) days after the date the Form 25 is filed (such period between the Form 25 filing date and the Form 15 filing date, the “Delisting Period”). If the Surviving Corporation is reasonably likely to be required to file any reports pursuant to the 1934 Act during the Delisting Period, the Company will deliver to Parent at least five (5) business days prior to the Closing Date a substantially final draft of any such reports reasonably likely to be required to be filed during the Delisting Period.

Section .Financing.

(b)Neither Parent nor Sub shall amend, alter, or waive, or agree to amend, alter or waive (in any case whether by action or inaction), any term of the Equity Financing Commitments that (i) amends or modifies any of the conditions precedent to the receipt of the Equity Financing or imposes additional conditions precedent to the receipt of the Equity Financing, (ii) adversely affects the rights of, or remedies available to, the Company under the Equity Financing Commitments, or (iii) would or would reasonably be expected to prevent, impede or delay the consummation of the Offer, the Merger or the Equity Financing, in each case, without the prior written consent of the Company.

Section .Financing Cooperation.

Prior to the Closing, the Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, use commercially reasonable efforts to provide cooperation reasonably requested by Parent and Sub, at Parent’s sole expense, in connection with Parent’s obtaining any debt financing for the purposes of financing the Transactions, including executing and delivering customary definitive financing, security and collateral documents and certificates as may be reasonably requested by Parent (including, without limitation, customary lien releases and solvency certificates provided by any officer of the Company). Parent and Sub acknowledge and agree that the Company and its Subsidiaries and their respective Representatives shall not have any responsibility for, or incur any liability to any Person under, the Equity Financing Commitments, any debt financing referenced in this Section 8.13 or the Equity Financing, and that Parent and Sub shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its Subsidiaries and their respective Representatives from and against any and all losses, damages, claims, costs, attorneys’ fees or other expenses suffered or incurred by any of them in connection with the Equity Financing, including any debt financing referenced in this Section 8.13, and any information utilized in connection therewith.

Notwithstanding anything in this Section 8.13 to the contrary, the condition set forth in clause (b)(iii) of Annex I, as it applies to the Company’s obligations under this Section 8.13, shall be deemed to be satisfied unless there has occurred a knowing and intentional breach of the Company’s obligations under this Section 8.13.

Section .No Survival of Representations and Warranties.

(a)The representations and warranties of the Company, Parent and Sub contained herein and in any certificate, schedule, instrument, document or other writing delivered pursuant hereto shall not survive the Acceptance Date or the termination of this Agreement, and, except in the case of Fraud, Parent and Sub shall have no claim or cause of action against the Company or its Affiliates or Representatives with respect to such representations and warranties. The covenants of the Company, Parent and Sub shall terminate at the Effective Time. In the event the Closing is consummated, except in the case of Fraud, in no event or circumstance shall any Representative of any party or of any Affiliate or Subsidiary of any party have any liability to Parent, Sub or Guarantors under this Agreement, any related document or the Transactions contemplated by this Agreement or otherwise, and provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall this sentence limit any claims that may be brought by any stockholder of the Company.

(b)Any claim for Fraud by any party or the Guarantors (or by their respective Subsidiaries, Affiliates or Representatives) against any other party (or against their Subsidiaries, Affiliates or

Representatives) must be filed in a lawsuit before the earlier of the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations or three (3) years after the Effective Time. No such claim for Fraud shall survive beyond the earlier of the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations or three (3) years after the Effective Time and all such claims shall be released, terminated, and be of no further force or effect.

Section .Amendments and Waivers.

(a)Subject to applicable Law and as otherwise provided in this Agreement, any provision of this Agreement may be amended or waived prior to the Effective Time, whether before or after any vote of the Company’s shareholders contemplated hereby, if, but only if, such amendment or waiver is in writing and is signed, in the case of an amendment, by each party to this Agreement or, in the case of a waiver, by each party against whom the waiver is to be effective; provided that, after the Company Stockholder Approval has been obtained (if applicable), there shall be no amendment or waiver that, under Michigan law, would require the further approval of the shareholders of the Company without such approval and after the purchase of the Shares pursuant to the Offer, no amendment shall be made which decreases the Merger Consideration.

(b)No failure or delay by any party in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies herein provided shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by Law. At any time prior to the Effective Time, either party hereto may (a) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the other party hereto or (b) waive compliance with any of the agreements of the other party or any conditions to its own obligations, in each case only to the extent such obligations, agreements and conditions are intended for its benefit; provided that any such extension or waiver shall be binding upon a party only if such extension or waiver is set forth in a writing executed by such party.

Section .Expenses.

(a)General. Except as set forth in Section 8.01(b) or Section 11.04(b), all costs and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement shall be paid by the party incurring such cost or expense whether or not the Merger is consummated.

(b)Termination Fee.

(i)Parent Termination Fee.

(A)If this Agreement is terminated by the Company pursuant to Section 10.01(d)(ii) or by Parent pursuant to Section 10.01(c)(i) or 10.01(c)(iii), then the Company shall pay to Parent a termination fee in immediately available funds in an amount corresponding to such termination as set forth below:

(x) $3,828,088.57 for such termination pursuant to Section 10.01(c)(i) (the “Section 6.04 Breach Fee”); or

(y) $3,588,833.03 for such termination pursuant to Section 10.01(c)(iii) or 10.01(d)(ii) (the “General Fee” and, together with the Section 6.04 Breach Fee, the “Parent Termination Fee”).

(B)If this Agreement is terminated by the Company or by Parent pursuant to Section 10.01(b)(i) as a result of the failure to satisfy the Minimum Condition or by Parent pursuant to Section 10.01(c)(ii), then the Company shall, within two Business Days after such termination, pay to Parent in immediately available funds the Expense Reimbursement; provided that if, (x) prior to such termination an Acquisition Proposal by a third party has been publicly disclosed or announced (or has otherwise become publicly known) and (y) within nine (9) months after such termination of this Agreement the Company shall enter into a definitive agreement or consummate a transaction relating to any Acquisition Proposal, which need not have been the Acquisition Proposal that shall have been publicly disclosed or announced

or publicly made known prior to termination hereof, the Company shall pay to Parent the General Fee, less the Expense Reimbursement previously paid, immediately upon the date upon which the Company enters into any definitive agreement relating to the Acquisition Proposal (or, if there is no such agreement, upon consummation of such Acquisition Proposal). For purposes of the term “Acquisition Proposal” as used in this subclause (B), references to “20% or more” in the definition of such term shall be “more than 50%”.

(ii)If this Agreement is terminated by the Company pursuant to Section 10.01(d)(i), Parent shall pay to the Company in immediately available funds an amount equal to $4,785,110.71 (the “Company Termination Fee” and, together with the Parent Termination Fee, the “Termination Fee”).

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in no event shall the Company be required to pay the Parent Termination Fee on more than one occasion.

(c)In the event that Parent is entitled to receive the Parent Termination Fee pursuant to this Section 11.04, Parent may elect, in its sole discretion, as its sole and exclusive remedy, either (x) to terminate the Agreement and receive the Parent Termination Fee as provided in this Agreement, (y) to terminate the Agreement and pursue any other remedies available under applicable Law with respect to Fraud or knowing and intentional breach on the part of the Company, or (z) to elect not to terminate the Agreement but to obtain an equitable remedy of specific performance against the Company. In the event that Parent elects to receive and receives the Parent Termination Fee pursuant to this Section 11.04, Parent’s, Sub’s, Guarantors’ and their respective Affiliates’ and Representatives’ sole and exclusive remedy against the Company and its respective Affiliates and Representatives as a result of the failure of the Transactions contemplated hereby to be consummated shall be the payment of such Parent Termination Fee. In the event that the Company is entitled to receive the Company Termination Fee pursuant to this Section 11.04, the Company may elect, in its sole discretion, as its sole and exclusive remedy, either (i) to terminate the Agreement and receive the Company Termination Fee as provided in this Agreement, (ii) to terminate the Agreement and pursue any other remedies available under applicable Law with respect to Fraud or knowing and intentional breach on the part of Parent, Sub or the Guarantors, or (iii) to elect not to terminate the Agreement but to obtain an equitable remedy of specific performance against Parent, Sub, and Guarantors, and of their respective Affiliates and Representatives. In the event that the Company elects to receive and receives the Company Termination Fee, pursuant to this Section 11.04, the Company and its respective Affiliates’ and Representatives’ sole and exclusive remedy against Parent, Sub, and Guarantors as a result of the failure of the Transactions contemplated hereby to be consummated shall be the payment of such Company Termination Fee. In the event Parent elects a remedy under clause (x) or (z) above, or the Company elects a remedy under clause (i) or (iii) above, such party hereby waives and releases the other party(s) and its Affiliates and Representatives from any and all other losses, claims, liabilities, damages, fees, fines, deficiencies, judgments, costs and expenses (collectively, “Claims”).

Section .Binding Effect; Benefit; Assignment.

(a)The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Except (i) as provided in Section 7.03, which shall confer third party beneficiary rights to the parties identified therein, and (ii) the right of the Company on behalf of its shareholders to pursue the remedies provided in Section 11.04(c) (which Parent and Sub hereby acknowledge), no provision of this Agreement is intended to confer any rights, benefits, remedies, obligations or liabilities hereunder upon any Person other than the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. The third-party beneficiary rights referenced in clause (ii) above may be exercised only by the

Company (on behalf of its shareholders as their agent) through actions expressly approved by the Company Board.

(b)No party may assign, delegate or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of each other parties hereto, except that Parent or Sub may transfer or assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement, in whole or from time to time in part, to one or more of its Affiliates at any time; provided that such transfer or assignment shall not relieve Parent or Sub of its obligations under this Agreement or prejudice the rights of shareholders to receive payment for Shares validly tendered and accepted for payment pursuant to the Offer or Shares converted into cash pursuant to the Merger.

Section .Governing Law.

This Agreement and all actions arising under or in connection therewith shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the law of the State of Delaware, without regard to the conflicts of law rules of such state except to the extent the Laws of the State of Michigan are mandatorily applicable to the Merger, provided that any operative provisions regarding the Merger shall be governed by Michigan Law (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any provisions related to appraisal or dissenters’ rights).

Section .Jurisdiction.

The parties hereto irrevocably agree that any suit, action or proceeding seeking to enforce any provision of, or based on any matter arising out of, with respect to, or in connection with, this Agreement or the Transactions contemplated hereby or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect hereof brought by another party hereto or its successors or assigns shall be brought in the circuit court in the County of Washtenaw, Michigan or other state court within the State of Michigan, or if such court shall not have jurisdiction, in any federal court located within the State of Michigan, and each of the parties hereby irrevocably consents and submits with regard to any action or proceeding for itself and in respect to its property, generally and unconditionally, to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts (and of the appropriate appellate courts therefrom) in any such suit, action or proceeding and irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, and agrees not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense, counterclaim or otherwise, in any action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement (a) any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of the above-named courts for any reason other than the failure to lawfully serve process, (b) that it or its property is exempt or immune from jurisdiction of any such court or from any legal process commenced in such courts (whether through service of notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution of judgment, execution of judgment or otherwise), and (c) to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, that (i) any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such suit, action or proceeding in any such court or (ii) that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient or improper forum, or (iii) this Agreement, or the subject matter thereof, may not be enforced in or by such courts. Process in any such suit, action or proceeding may be served on any party anywhere in the world, whether within or without the jurisdiction of any such court.
