WHEREAS, concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, and as a condition of Parent’s willingness to enter into this Agreement, the Company has entered into an amendment to the Amended and Restated Rights Agreement, dated as of July 23, 2008, by and between the Company and

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

ARTICLE 1

THE OFFER AND THE MERGER

1.1 The Offer.

(a) Subject to the conditions of this Agreement, as promptly as practicable (but in no event later than ten (10) Business Days after the date of this Agreement), Merger Sub shall, and Parent shall cause Merger Sub to, commence the Offer under the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The obligations of Merger Sub to, and of Parent to cause Merger Sub to, accept for payment, and pay for, any shares of the Company Common Stock tendered pursuant to the Offer are subject only to the conditions set forth in Exhibit B (the “Offer Conditions”). The initial expiration date of the Offer (the “Initial Expiration Date”) shall be midnight (New York City time) on the twentieth (20th) Business Day following commencement of the Offer (determined using Rule 14d-1(g)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (together with the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, the “Exchange Act”)). Merger Sub expressly reserves the right to waive, in whole or in part, any condition to the Offer or modify the terms of the Offer, except that, without the written consent of the Company, Merger Sub shall not (A) reduce the number of shares of the Company Common Stock subject to the Offer, (B) reduce the Offer Price except in accordance with Section 1.1(e), (C) waive or amend the Minimum Tender Condition, add to the Offer Conditions or modify any Offer Condition in any manner adverse to the holders of the Company Common Stock, (D) except as otherwise provided in this Section 1.1(a), extend the Offer, (E) change the form of consideration payable in the Offer or (F) otherwise amend the Offer in any manner adverse to the holders of the Company Common Stock. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Merger Sub shall extend the Offer for the minimum period required by any rule, regulation, interpretation or position of the SEC or the staff thereof applicable to the Offer, but not beyond the Outside Date. In addition, if at the otherwise scheduled expiration date of the Offer any Offer Condition is not satisfied (or to the extent permitted hereby, waived) and until such time as such conditions are satisfied, Merger Sub may, in its sole discretion, without the consent of the Company, or if requested by the Company, Merger Sub shall, and Parent shall cause Merger Sub to, extend the Offer for one (1) or more occasions, in consecutive increments between two (2) and ten (10) Business Days each, with the length of such period to be determined by Merger Sub or, in the event such extension is requested by the Company, such period between two (2) and (10) Business Days as the Company requests (or in any event such other period as the parties hereto may agree) (the Initial Expiration Date, or such later date and time to which the Initial Expiration Date has been extended in accordance with this Agreement, the “Expiration Date”); provided, however, that Merger Sub shall not be required to, and Parent shall not be required to cause Merger Sub to, extend the Offer beyond the earliest to occur of (i) the valid termination of this

Agreement in accordance with Article 9 and (ii) the Outside Date. Merger Sub may, in its sole discretion, make available one (1) or more “subsequent offering periods”, in accordance with Rule 14d-11 under the Exchange Act, of not less than three (3) Business Days and not more than twenty (20) Business Days in the aggregate for all subsequent offering periods. On the terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer and this Agreement, Merger Sub shall, and Parent shall cause Merger Sub to, accept and pay for (subject to any withholding of Tax pursuant to Section 4.2(f)) all shares of the Company Common Stock validly tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to the Offer that Merger Sub becomes obligated to purchase pursuant to the Offer promptly after the expiration of the Offer.

(b) On the date of commencement of the Offer, Parent and Merger Sub shall file with the SEC, pursuant to and in accordance with Rule 14d-3 and Regulation M-A under the Exchange Act, a Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO with respect to the Offer, which shall contain an offer to purchase and a related letter of transmittal and summary advertisement (such Schedule TO and the documents included therein pursuant to which the Offer shall be made, together with any supplements or amendments thereto, the “Offer Documents”). Parent and Merger Sub agree to take all steps necessary to cause the Offer Documents to be disseminated to holders of shares of the Company Common Stock as and to the extent required by the Exchange Act. The Company shall promptly furnish to Parent and Merger Sub all information concerning the Company required by the Exchange Act to be set forth in the Offer Documents or reasonably requested by Parent and Merger Sub for inclusion therein. Each of Parent, Merger Sub and the Company shall promptly correct any information provided by it for use in the Offer Documents if and to the extent that such information shall have become false or misleading in any material respect and to correct any material omissions therein; and each of Parent and Merger Sub shall take all steps necessary to amend or supplement the Offer Documents and to cause the Offer Documents, as so amended or supplemented, to be filed with the SEC and the Offer Documents, as so amended or supplemented, to be disseminated to the Company’s shareholders, in each case as and to the extent required by applicable Federal securities laws. Parent and Merger Sub shall provide the Company and its counsel copies of any written comments, and shall inform the Company and its counsel of any oral comments or discussions, that Parent, Merger Sub or their counsel may receive from or engage with the SEC or its staff with respect to the Offer Documents promptly after the receipt of such comments or the commencement or occurrence of any such discussions. Prior to the filing of the Offer Documents (including any amendment or supplement thereto) with the SEC or the dissemination thereof to the shareholders of the Company, or responding to any comments of the SEC with respect to the Offer Documents, Parent and Merger Sub shall provide the Company and its counsel a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such Offer Documents or response (including the proposed final version thereof), and Parent and Merger Sub shall give reasonable and good faith consideration to any comments made by the Company or its counsel.

(c) Subject to the terms and the conditions of the Offer and this Agreement, and the satisfaction (or, if permitted to be waived by Parent and Merger, the waiver by Parent and Merger Sub) of the Offer Conditions, (i) as soon as practicable after the applicable Expiration Date, Merger Sub shall accept for payment and promptly (and in any event within three (3) business days (as determined using Rule 14d-1(g)(3) under the Exchange Act) after such acceptance) pay for, and Parent shall cause Merger Sub to accept for payment and pay for, all shares of Company Common Stock validly tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to the Offer (the time of such acceptance for payment, the “Acceptance Time,” and the time of such payment, the “Offer Closing”), or (ii) in the case of any shares of Company Common Stock tendered during any subsequent offering period, Merger Sub shall immediately accept for payment and promptly (and in any event within three (3) business days (as determined using Rule 14d-1(g)(3) under the Exchange Act)) pay for, and Parent shall cause Merger Sub to accept for payment and pay for, all such shares of Company Common Stock validly tendered during such period.

(d) (i) If at any then-scheduled expiration of the Offer, any Offer Condition shall not have been satisfied or waived and no further extension or re-extensions of the Offer are required pursuant to Section 1.1(a), Merger Sub may irrevocably and unconditionally terminate the Offer upon delivery of a written notice to the Company, and (ii) if this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Article 9, then Merger Sub shall (and Parent shall cause Merger Sub to) promptly (and in any event within two (2) Business Days of such termination), irrevocably and unconditionally terminate the Offer. If the Offer is terminated or withdrawn by Merger Sub, or this Agreement is terminated in accordance with Article 9, (i) Merger Sub shall promptly return, and shall cause any depository acting on behalf of Merger Sub to return, all tendered shares of the Company Common Stock to the registered holders thereof and (ii) any “standstill” or similar covenant in the Confidentiality Agreement previously waived by the Company shall, without any further action by the Company, be automatically reinstated and be deemed to be in full force and effect.

(e) If, during the period between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time, the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock shall be changed into a different number of shares or a different class (including by reason of any reclassification, recapitalization, stock split or combination, exchange or readjustment of shares, or stock dividend thereon with a record date during such period but excluding any change that results from any exercise of Company Stock Options that are outstanding as of the date hereof), the Per Share Merger Consideration, Offer Price and any other amounts payable pursuant to this Agreement shall be appropriately adjusted.

(f) For purposes of this Agreement and the Offer (including the exercise of the Top-Up Option), unless otherwise mutually agreed to by the Company and Merger Sub, any shares of Company Common Stock subject to notices of guaranteed delivery shall be deemed not to be validly tendered into the Offer unless and until the shares underlying such notices of guaranteed delivery are delivered to or on behalf of Merger Sub.

1.2 Company Actions.

(a) The Company hereby consents to and approves of the Offer, the Top-Up Option, the Merger and the other Transactions and to the inclusion in the Offer Documents of the Company Board Recommendation (subject only to the Company’s right to make an Adverse Company Recommendation Change in accordance with the provisions of Section 7.4(d)) and of references to and all other material disclosures relating to the Company Financial Advisor and the Fairness Opinion.

(b) Subject to Section 7.4, the Company shall file with the SEC, as promptly as practicable on or after the date of the filing by Parent of the initial Offer Documents (and in any event by January 30, 2014), a Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9 with respect to the Offer (such Schedule 14D-9, as amended from time to time, the “Schedule 14D-9”) describing the Company Board Recommendation referred to in Section 5.4(d), and shall mail the Schedule 14D-9 to the holders of the Company Common Stock (concurrently with the Offer Documents). The Company shall include in the Schedule 14D-9 the Company Board Recommendation and the Fairness Opinion. Parent and Merger Sub shall promptly furnish to the Company all information concerning Parent and Merger Sub required by the Exchange Act to be set forth in the Schedule 14D-9 or reasonably requested by the Company for inclusion therein. Each of the Company, Parent and Merger Sub shall promptly correct any information provided by it for use in the Schedule 14D-9 if and to the extent that such information shall have become false or misleading in any material respect and to correct any material omissions therein. The Company shall take all steps necessary to amend or supplement the Schedule 14D-9 and to cause the Schedule 14D-9, as so amended or supplemented, to be filed with the SEC and disseminated to the Company’s shareholders, in each case as and to the extent required by applicable Federal securities laws. The Company shall provide Parent and its counsel copies of any written

comments and shall inform Parent and its counsel of any oral comments that the Company or its counsel may receive from the SEC or its staff with respect to the Schedule 14D-9 promptly after the receipt of such comments. Prior to the filing of the Schedule 14D-9 (including any amendment or supplement thereto) with the SEC or the dissemination thereof to the shareholders of the Company, or responding to any comments of the SEC with respect to the Schedule 14D-9, the Company shall provide Parent and its counsel a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such Schedule 14D-9 or response, and the Company shall give reasonable and good faith consideration to any comments made by Parent or its counsel.

(c) In connection with the Offer, the Company shall cause its transfer agent to furnish Merger Sub promptly (but in any event not later than three (3) Business Days following the date hereof) with mailing labels containing the names and addresses of the record holders of the Company Common Stock as of a recent date and of those persons becoming record holders subsequent to such date, together with copies of all updated lists of shareholders, security position listings, computer files and all other information in the Company’s possession or control as Parent may reasonably request regarding the beneficial owners of the Company Common Stock, and shall furnish to Merger Sub such information and assistance (including updated lists of shareholders, security position listings and computer files) as Parent may reasonably request in communicating the Offer to the Company’s shareholders. Subject to the requirements of applicable law, and except for such steps as are necessary to disseminate the Offer Documents and any other documents necessary to consummate the Transactions, Parent and Merger Sub shall hold in confidence in accordance with the Confidentiality Agreement the information contained in any such labels, listings and files, shall use such information only in connection with the Offer and the Merger and, if this Agreement shall be terminated, shall, upon request of the Company, return to the Company or destroy all copies of such information then in their possession or control.

(d) During the five (5) Business Days before the then-scheduled Expiration Date (as may be extended pursuant to the terms of this Agreement) or the then-scheduled expiration date of any subsequent offering period and on the first (1st) Business Day following the Expiration Date (as may be extended pursuant to the terms of this Agreement) or the expiration date of any subsequent offering period, promptly following the request of Parent or Merger Sub, the Company shall certify to Parent and Merger Sub in writing as to (i) the number of shares of Company Common Stock then outstanding (including Company Restricted Shares), (ii) the number of Company Restricted Shares then outstanding, (iii) the number of shares of Company Common Stock issuable in respect of Company Stock Options then outstanding, (iv) the Company’s computation of the number of Fully Diluted Shares then outstanding, with supporting detail, (vii) the number of shares of Company Common Stock authorized and available for issuance and sale by the Company to Merger Sub in connection with an exercise of the Top-Up Option and (viii) any other information in the possession of the Company as may be reasonably requested by Parent or Merger Sub in order to enable Parent and Merger Sub to determine whether or not the Minimum Tender Condition has been or would be satisfied.

1.3 Top-Up Option.

(a) Subject to Section 1.3(b) and Section 1.3(c), the Company hereby issues to Merger Sub an irrevocable option (the “Top-Up Option”), for so long as this Agreement has not been terminated pursuant to the provisions hereof, to purchase from the Company that number of shares of the Company Common Stock equal to the number of shares of the Company Common Stock that, when added to the number of shares of the Company Common Stock owned by Parent, Merger Sub or any other Subsidiary of Parent at the time of exercise of the Top-Up Option, constitutes at least one share of the Company Common Stock more than 90% of the Fully Diluted Shares at such date, assuming the issuance of all shares of the Company Common Stock to be issued upon exercise of the Top-Up Option (such shares of the Company Common Stock to be issued upon exercise of the Top-Up Option, the “Top-Up Shares”).

(b) The Top-Up Option shall be exercised by Merger Sub during the two-Business Day period following the time at which shares of the Company Common Stock are first accepted pursuant to the Offer, or if any subsequent offering period is provided, during the two-Business Day period following the expiration date of such subsequent offering period; provided that, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Top-Up Option shall not be exercisable (i) to the extent that the number of shares of the Company Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Top-Up Option would exceed the number of authorized but unissued shares of the Company Common Stock that are not reserved or otherwise committed to be issued at the time of the exercise of the Top-Up Option, (ii) if any law then in effect shall prohibit the exercise of the Top-Up Option or the delivery of the Top-Up Shares, and (iii) unless Parent or Merger Sub has accepted for payment all shares of the Company Common Stock validly tendered in the Offer and not withdrawn. The Top-Up Option shall terminate upon the earlier to occur of (x) the Effective Time and (y) termination of this Agreement in accordance with Article 9. The aggregate purchase price payable for the Top-Up Shares being purchased by Merger Sub pursuant to the Top-Up Option shall be determined by multiplying the number of such Top-Up Shares by the Offer Price, without interest. Such purchase price may be paid by Merger Sub, at its election, either (A) entirely in cash or (B) by paying in cash an amount equal to not less than the aggregate par value of such Top-Up Shares and by executing and delivering to the Company a promissory note having a principal amount equal to the balance of such purchase price. Any such promissory note shall be full recourse against Parent and Merger Sub, shall bear interest at the rate of three percent (3%) per annum, shall mature on the first (1st) anniversary of the date of execution and delivery of such promissory note and may be prepaid, in whole or in part, at any time without premium or penalty and shall have no other material terms. Without the prior written consent of the Company, the right to exercise the Top-Up Option granted pursuant to this Agreement may be exercised only once and shall not be assigned by Merger Sub. Any attempted assignment in violation of this Section 1.3(b) shall be null and void.

(c) In the event that Merger Sub shall exercise the Top-Up Option, Merger Sub shall deliver to the Company written notice (the “Top-Up Notice”) setting forth (i) the number of Top-Up Shares that Merger Sub intends to purchase pursuant to the Top-Up Option, (ii) the manner in which Merger Sub intends to pay the applicable purchase price pursuant to Section 1.3(b) and (iii) the place and time at which the closing of the purchase of such Top-Up Shares by Merger Sub is to take place. The Top-Up Notice shall also include an undertaking signed by Parent and Merger Sub that, promptly following such exercise of the Top-Up Option, Merger Sub shall consummate the Merger in accordance with Section 11.05 of the MBCA as contemplated by Section 7.6(b). At the closing of the purchase of the Top-Up Shares, Parent and Merger Sub shall cause to be delivered to the Company the consideration required to be delivered in exchange for the Top-Up Shares, and the Company shall cause to be issued to Merger Sub the Top-Up Shares. At the closing of the purchase of the Top-Up Shares, the Company shall cause to be issued to Merger Sub a certificate representing the Top-Up Shares. The parties hereto agree to use their reasonable best efforts to cause the closing of the purchase of the Top-Up Shares to occur on the same day that the Top-Up Notice is deemed received by the Company pursuant to Section 10.2, and if not so consummated on such day, as promptly thereafter as possible. The parties hereto further agree to use their reasonable best efforts to cause the Merger to be consummated in accordance with the MBCA as contemplated by Section 7.6(b), subject to applicable law, as close in time as possible after (including, to the extent possible, on the same day as) the issuance of the Top-Up Shares. Parent, Merger Sub and the Company shall cooperate to ensure that any issuance of the Top-Up Shares is accomplished in a manner consistent with all applicable laws.

(d) Parent and Merger Sub understand that the Top-Up Shares will not be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (including the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, the “Securities Act”), and will be issued in reliance upon an exemption thereunder for transactions not involving a public offering. Each of Parent and Merger Sub represents and warrants to the Company that Merger Sub will be upon any exercise of the Top-Up Option an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act. With respect to the Top-Up Option and the issuance of the Top-Up Shares, each of Parent and Merger Sub represents, warrants and agrees that the Top-Up Option is being, and the Top-Up Shares will be, acquired by Merger Sub for the purpose of investment and not with a view to or for resale in connection with any distribution thereof within the meaning of the Securities Act. Any certificates evidencing Top-Up Shares shall include any legends required by applicable securities laws.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, each of Parent, Merger Sub and the Company agree and acknowledge that, in any appraisal proceeding under Part 13 of the MBCA with respect to Dissenting Shares, the Surviving Corporation shall not assert that the Top-Up Option, the Top-Up Shares or any cash or promissory note delivered by Merger Sub to the Company in payment for such Top-Up Shares should be considered in connection with the determination of the fair value of the Dissenting Shares in accordance with Part 13 of the MBCA.

ARTICLE 4

EFFECT OF THE MERGER

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

(a) Each share (each, a “Share” and collectively, the “Shares”) of the Company Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (except as otherwise provided in Section 4.1(b) and Shares (“Dissenting Shares”) that are, as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, owned by shareholders (“Dissenting Shareholders”) entitled to appraisal rights and to obtain payment of the fair value of their Shares and who have perfected and not withdrawn a demand for or otherwise lost their right to appraisal pursuant to Part 13 of the MBCA with respect to such Shares) shall be converted into the right to receive the Offer Price, in cash and without interest (the “Per Share Merger Consideration”). All such Shares, when so converted, no longer shall be outstanding and automatically shall be cancelled and retired and shall cease to exist, and each holder of a certificate (a “Certificate”, it being understood that any reference herein to “Certificate” shall be deemed to include reference to book-entry account statements relating to the ownership of Shares) evidencing any such Shares shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration therefor, subject to applicable withholding tax, upon the surrender of such certificate in accordance with Section 4.2.

(b) Each Share held by the Company in treasury or owned by Parent, Merger Sub or any direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Parent or the Company, if any, immediately prior to the Effective Time (including as a result of an exercise of the Top-Up Option by Merger Sub) shall be cancelled and extinguished without any conversion thereof and no payment shall be made with respect thereto.

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

4.2 Exchange of Certificates and Merger Consideration.

(a) At or prior to the Effective Time, Parent will deposit, or cause to be deposited, with a bank or trust company designated by Parent (the “Exchange Agent”), for the benefit of the holders of Shares, the cash required to make payments in respect of the Merger consideration as required by this Article 4 (such cash, together with any dividends or distributions with respect thereto, being hereinafter referred to as the “Exchange Fund”). The Exchange Agent will, pursuant to irrevocable instructions, deliver the cash payments contemplated to be issued pursuant to Section 4.1 out of the Exchange Fund. The Exchange Fund will not be used for any other purpose.

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

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

(d) Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains undistributed to the holders of Shares for six (6) months after the Effective Time will be delivered to Parent, upon demand, and any holders of Shares who have not theretofore complied with this Article 4 will thereafter look only to Parent for payments in respect of the applicable Merger consideration payable pursuant to this

Agreement. Any portion of the Exchange Fund remaining unclaimed by holders of Shares as of a date which is immediately prior to such time as such amounts would otherwise escheat to or become property of any Governmental Entity will, to the extent permitted by applicable law, become the property of Parent free and clear of any claims or interest of any person previously entitled thereto.

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

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

(g) If any Certificate has been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by the Surviving Corporation, the posting by such person of a bond, in such reasonable amount as the Surviving Corporation may direct, as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, the Exchange Agent will issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate the Merger consideration payable with respect to the Shares evidenced by such Certificate. Delivery of such affidavit and the posting of such bond shall be deemed delivery of a Certificate with respect to the Shares for purposes of this Section 4.2.

(h) The Exchange Agent shall invest any cash included in the Exchange Fund, as directed by Parent or Merger Sub. Any interest and other income resulting from such investments shall be paid to, or as directed by, Parent or Merger Sub. In no event, however, shall such investment or any such payment of interest or income delay the receipt by holders of Certificates of the Merger consideration, or otherwise impair such holders’ rights hereunder.

(i) Any portion of the aggregate Merger consideration made available to the Exchange Agent in respect of any Dissenting Shares shall be returned to Parent, upon demand.

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

of this Agreement, Certificates formerly evidencing Shares are presented to the Surviving Corporation, they shall be canceled and, except as provided in Section 4.1(b), exchanged for the Merger consideration in accordance with this Article 4.

4.4 Treatment of Company Stock-Based Securities.

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

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

(c) Simultaneously with the consummation of the Merger, Merger Sub shall pay to the Company an amount in cash equal to the aggregate amount of consideration to be paid by holders of Company Stock Options pursuant to this Section 4.4, and the Surviving Corporation shall cause such consideration to be paid to such holders as promptly as practicable following the Closing.

(d) The Company shall take all steps reasonably required to cause the transactions contemplated by this Section 4.4, including any disposition of equity securities of the Company (including derivative securities) in connection with the Transactions by each individual who is or will become a director or officer of the Company subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act to be exempt under Rule 16b-3 of the Exchange Act.

(e) The Company shall take all actions necessary to provide that, upon the Effective Time, (i) the Company Stock Option Plans, and any similar plan, program or agreement of the Company pursuant to which Company Securities may be granted or issued shall be terminated, and (ii) no Person shall have any right under or with respect to the Company Stock Options, the Company Restricted Shares or any other plan, program or arrangement with respect to equity securities of the Company or any Subsidiary thereof, except the right to receive the amounts payable under this Section 4.4, if any. Without limiting the foregoing, the Company shall instruct its stock transfer agent, promptly after the Effective Time (and in any event no later than on the first (1st) Business Day after the Effective Time occurs), to remove all Company Restricted Shares from the Company’s stock ledger.

The Company shall provide notice (in a form reasonably satisfactory to Parent) to each holder of an outstanding Company Stock Option and each Person in whose name the Company holds any Company Restricted Shares describing the treatment of such Company Stock Option or Company Restricted Share, as applicable, in accordance with this Section 4.4.

4.5 Dissenting Shares . No Person who, prior to the Effective Time, is entitled to appraisal rights and to obtain payment of the fair value of his shares and who has perfected appraisal rights and a right to obtain payment of the fair value of his shares pursuant to Part 13 of the MBCA with respect to any Dissenting Shares shall be entitled to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration with respect to such Dissenting Shares unless and until such Person shall have effectively withdrawn (in accordance with Section 13.23(b) of the MBCA) or otherwise lost such Person’s right to appraisal pursuant to the MBCA with respect to such Dissenting Shares. Unless and until a Dissenting Shareholder shall have effectively so withdrawn or lost such Dissenting Shareholder’s right to appraisal pursuant to the MBCA with respect to such Dissenting Shares, such Dissenting Shareholder shall be entitled to receive only the payment provided by Section 13.24, Section 13.25, Section 13.26 or Section 13.30 (as applicable) of the MBCA with respect to such Dissenting Shares. From and after the Effective Time, Dissenting Shareholders shall not be entitled to vote for any purpose or receive any dividends or distributions, other than pursuant to Part 13 of the MBCA. The Company shall give Parent (i) prompt notice of any written demands for appraisal, attempted withdrawals of such demands, and any other instruments served pursuant to applicable law that are received by the Company relating to Company shareholders’ rights of appraisal and (ii) the opportunity to participate in all negotiations and proceedings which take place prior to the Effective Time with respect to demands for appraisal and payment by Company shareholders under Part 13 of the MBCA. The Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of Parent, voluntarily make any payment with respect to any demands for appraisal, offer to settle or settle any such demands.

(a) The Company has timely filed with or otherwise furnished to the SEC, within the time periods or extensions thereof prescribed under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, as applicable, all forms, reports, proxy statements, schedules, statements, prospectuses, registration statements and other documents required to be filed or furnished by it with the SEC since January 1, 2010 (collectively, the “Company SEC Documents”). None of the Company SEC Documents is the subject of an outstanding SEC comment letter or outstanding SEC investigation as of the date hereof. As of their respective dates (or, if amended, supplemented or superseded by a filing prior to the date of this Agreement, as of the date so amended, supplemented or superseded), the Company SEC Documents (i) complied in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, and (ii) did not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a

material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements made therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. Each of the consolidated balance sheets included in the Company SEC Documents (including the related notes and schedules) fairly presented in all material respects the consolidated financial position of the Company and its Subsidiaries as of the respective dates thereof and each of the consolidated statements of operations, cash flows, comprehensive income and shareholders’ equity included in the Company SEC Documents (including any related notes and schedules) fairly presented in all material respects the results of operations, cash flows or changes in shareholders’ equity or comprehensive income, as the case may be, of the Company and its Subsidiaries for the periods set forth therein, and were prepared in each case in accordance with GAAP consistently applied during the periods involved, except, as may be indicated in the notes thereto and, in the case of unaudited statements, for normal year-end audit adjustments. The principal executive officer of the Company and the principal financial officer of the Company have made the certifications required by Sections 302 and 906 of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇ Act of 2002 (the “▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇ Act”), and the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder with respect to the Company SEC Documents that were required to be accompanied by such certifications. For purposes of the preceding sentence, “principal executive officer” and “principal financial officer” shall have the meanings given to such terms in the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇ Act.

(b) The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting required by Rule 13a-15 or 15d-15 under the Exchange Act. Such disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that (i) all information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC, and (ii) such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, or individuals performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

7.4 No Solicitation by Company.

(a) General Prohibitions. Except as expressly permitted by Section 7.4(b), neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall, nor shall the Company or any of its Subsidiaries authorize or permit any of its or their Representatives to, directly or indirectly, (i) solicit, initiate or take any action to knowingly facilitate or encourage the making by any Person (other than Parent and its Affiliates) of any inquiry, proposal or offer that constitutes or would reasonably be expected to lead to any Acquisition Proposal, (ii) enter into, continue, or otherwise participate in any discussions or negotiations with any Person (other than Parent and its Affiliates) in furtherance of an inquiry or to obtain an Acquisition Proposal, or (iii) enter into any agreement, understanding or arrangement with respect to any Acquisition Proposal or enter into any agreement or agreement in principle that would reasonably be expect to require the Company to abandon, terminate or fail to consummate the Transactions or breach its obligations hereunder, (iv) subject to Section 7.4(e), grant any waiver or release under any standstill or similar agreement with respect to any class of equity securities of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or (v) resolve or propose to do any of the foregoing. The Company shall take, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to take, all actions reasonably necessary to cause its Representatives to immediately cease any and all existing activities, discussions or negotiations, if any, with any Third Party and its Representatives and its financing sources conducted prior to the date hereof

with respect to any Acquisition Proposal. The Company shall promptly request each Person that has heretofore executed a confidentiality agreement in connection with its consideration of an Acquisition Proposal, if any, to return or destroy all confidential information heretofore furnished to such Person by or on behalf of the Company and its Subsidiaries. Except as expressly permitted by Section 7.4(d), neither the Company Board nor any committee thereof shall (A) fail to make, withdraw, qualify or modify (or publicly propose or resolve to withhold, withdraw (or not continue to make), qualify or modify) in a manner adverse to Parent the Company Board Recommendation, (B) adopt, approve or recommend or propose to adopt, approve or recommend (publicly or otherwise) any Acquisition Proposal, (C) (x) fail to publicly recommend against any Acquisition Proposal or (y) fail to publicly reaffirm the Company Board Recommendation, in each case of (x) and (y) within three (3) Business Days after Parent so requests in writing, (D) fail to recommend against any Acquisition Proposal subject to Regulation 14D under the Exchange Act in a Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9 within three (3) Business Days after the commencement of such Acquisition Proposal, or (E) fail to include the Company Board Recommendation in favor of approval and adoption of this Agreement and the Merger in the Proxy Statement (any action described in the foregoing clauses (A) through (E), an “Adverse Company Recommendation Change”). It is agreed that any violation of the restrictions on the Company set forth in this Section 7.4(a) by any Representative of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall be a breach of this Section 7.4(a) by the Company.

(b) Exceptions. Notwithstanding Section 7.4(a), but subject to Section 7.4(c), at any time prior to the Acceptance Time, if the Company or any of its Representatives has received a bona fide written Acquisition Proposal that the Company Board reasonably believes constitutes or is reasonably likely to lead to a Superior Proposal, the Company, directly or indirectly through its Representatives, may, as long as the Company, its Subsidiaries and their Representatives shall not have previously breached or taken any action inconsistent with Section 7.4(a), (i) engage in negotiations or discussions with such Third Party and its Representatives, and (ii) furnish to such Third Party or its Representatives or financing sources non-public information relating to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or afford access to the business, properties, assets, books or records of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to such Third Party, in each case pursuant to an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement with such Third Party; provided, however, that all such information (to the extent that such information has not been previously provided or made available to Parent) is provided or made available to Parent prior to or concurrently with the time it is provided or made available to such Third Party; provided, further, however, that prior to taking (and thereafter continuing) any action described in Section 7.4(b)(i) or Section 7.4(b)(ii) above, (A) the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel, that the failure to take such action would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties to the holders of Company Common Stock under applicable law and (B) the Company Board determines in good faith, based on the information then available and after consultation with its independent financial advisor and outside legal counsel, that such Acquisition Proposal either constitutes a Superior Proposal or is reasonably likely to result in a Superior Proposal. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall, after the date of this Agreement, enter into any confidentiality agreement that would prohibit them from providing such information to Parent. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, nothing in this Agreement shall prevent the Company or the Company Board, at any time prior to the Acceptance Time, from (i) taking and disclosing to the Company’s shareholders a position contemplated by Rule 14d-9 and Rule 14e-2(a) promulgated under the Exchange Act (or any similar communication to shareholders required to be made by applicable statute, law, rule or regulation in connection with the making or amendment of a tender offer or exchange offer), or (ii) making any required disclosure to shareholders with regard to any Acquisition Proposal, in each case so long as such action is consistent with this Section 7.4 and if the Company Board determines in good faith after consultation with outside counsel that the failure to take such action would be reasonably likely to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable law; provided, that, the foregoing shall not be deemed to permit the Company Board to make an Adverse Company Recommendation Change except pursuant to Section 7.4(d) hereof or to otherwise modify the definition of Adverse Company Recommendation Change.

(c) Required Notices. The Company Board shall not take any of the actions referred to in Section 7.4(b) unless the Company shall have delivered to Parent a prior written notice advising Parent that it intends to take such action at least twenty-four (24) hours in advance of taking such action. In addition, the Company shall notify Parent promptly (but in no event later than twenty-four (24) hours) after receipt by the Company (or any of its Representatives) of any Acquisition Proposal, any notification to the Company (or any of its Representatives) that would reasonably be expected to result in an Acquisition Proposal or of any request received by the Company (or any of its Representatives) for information relating to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or for access to the business, properties, assets, books or records of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries by any Third Party that has made, or that has notified the Company (or any of its Representatives) that it is considering making, an Acquisition Proposal. The Company shall identify the Third Party making, and the terms and conditions of, any such Acquisition Proposal, indication or request. The Company shall keep Parent informed, on a current basis, in reasonable detail of the status and terms of any such Acquisition Proposal, indication or request or any other negotiations with Third Parties and shall promptly (but in no event more than twenty-four (24) hours) provide to Parent copies of all material correspondence and written materials sent or provided to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that describes any terms or conditions of any Acquisition Proposal.

(d) Adverse Company Recommendation Change. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Company Board may at any time prior to the Acceptance Time, (i) make an Adverse Company Recommendation Change in response to an Intervening Event and/or a Superior Proposal or (ii) terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.1(d)(i) and concurrently enter into a definitive agreement with respect to a Superior Proposal; provided, however, the Company Board shall not take any action described in the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) unless (A) the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisor and outside legal counsel, that (1) such Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal or (2) that an Intervening Event has occurred and, in either case, that failure to take such action would be reasonably likely to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable law, (B) the Company shall have continuously complied with its obligations under this Section 7.4, and, with respect to a termination pursuant to Section 9.1(d)(i), the Company shall have complied with all applicable requirements of Section 9.1(d)(i) and Section 9.2(b) (including the payment of the Company Termination Fee and Termination Expenses prior to such termination) and (C) the Company promptly notifies Parent in writing, at least three (3) Business Days before taking such action, of such determination of the Company Board and of its intention to effect an Adverse Company Recommendation Change in response to such Intervening Event or Superior Proposal, and shall have complied with the remaining provisions of this Section 7.4(d). Such notice in response to an Intervening Event shall specify in reasonable detail the facts underlying the decision by the Company Board to take such action and during such three (3) Business Day period, the Company shall, if requested by Parent, engage in good faith negotiations with Parent to amend this Agreement in such a manner that obviates the need for such Adverse Company Recommendation Change, in which case the Company Board shall not take any action described in clauses (i) and (ii) above. Such notice in response to a Superior Proposal shall attach a reasonably detailed description of the proposed agreement and terms under which such Superior Proposal is proposed to be consummated and identify the Third Party making such Superior Proposal and, during such three (3) Business Day period, the Company shall (and shall cause its financial and legal advisors to) negotiate with Parent in good faith (to the extent Parent desires to negotiate) to make such adjustments in the terms and conditions of this Agreement so that such Superior Proposal would cease to constitute a Superior Proposal (it being understood and agreed that (x) the delivery of such notice shall not in and of itself constitute an Adverse Company Recommendation Change and (y) any material amendment to the financial terms or other

material terms of such Superior Proposal following the initial three (3) Business Days period shall require a new written notification from the Company and a new three (3) Business Day good faith negotiations period under this Section 7.4(d) (it being understood and agreed that there shall be a maximum of one (1) such three (3) Business Day negotiations period and, thereafter, each successive negotiation period shall be two (2) Business Days) and, during such time, the Company Board shall not take any action described in clauses (i) and (ii) above.

(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary and provided that (i) there has been no prior breach of the provisions of this Section 7.4, (ii) the Company Board believes in good faith, upon the advice of its financial advisor, that such action would likely be expected to lead to a Superior Proposal and (iii) the Company provides to Parent one (1) Business Day’s advanced notice of the Board’s determination to take such action, at any time prior to the Acceptance Time, the Company Board may grant a waiver or release under, or determine not to enforce, any standstill agreement with respect to any class of equity securities of the Company if the Company Board determines in good faith (after consultation with its outside legal counsel) that the failure to take such action would violate its fiduciary duties under applicable law; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not otherwise modify the Company’s or its Representatives’ obligations under this Section 7.4.

7.5 Regulatory and Governmental Matters.

(a) Without limiting Section 7.7, the parties will cooperate fully with each other and use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to promptly prepare and file all necessary documentation, to effect all applications, notices, petitions and filings, to obtain as promptly as practicable all permits, consents, approvals and authorizations of all third parties and Governmental Entities that are necessary or advisable to consummate the Transactions and to comply with the terms and conditions of all such permits, consents, approvals and authorizations of all such Governmental Entities. The Company and Parent will have the right to review in advance, and, to the extent practicable, each will consult the other on, in each case, subject to applicable law relating to the exchange of information, all the information relating to the Company or Parent, as the case may be, and any of their respective Subsidiaries or Affiliates, that appears in any filing made with, or written materials submitted to, any Third Party or any Governmental Entity in connection with the Transactions. In exercising the foregoing right, each of the parties will act reasonably and as promptly as reasonably practicable. The parties will consult with each other with respect to obtaining all Permits, consents, approvals and authorizations of all third parties and Governmental Entities necessary or advisable to consummate the Transactions, and each party will keep the other apprised of the status of matters relating to completion of the Transactions.

(b) Each of Parent and the Company will, upon request, furnish to the other all information concerning itself, its Subsidiaries, directors, officers and shareholders and such other matters as may be reasonably necessary or advisable in connection with the Proxy Statement, if any, the Offer Documents, the Schedule 14D-9, the Information Statement or any other statement, filing, notice or application made by or on behalf of Parent, the Company or any of their respective Subsidiaries to any Governmental Entity in connection with the Transactions.

(c) Each of Parent and the Company will promptly advise the other upon receiving any communication from any Governmental Entity and any material communication given or received in connection with any proceeding by a private party, in each case in connection with the Transactions.

7.6 Company Shareholder Approval; Preparation of Proxy Statement.

(a) At any time following the written request of Parent to the Company, the Company shall promptly prepare and file with the SEC the Proxy Statement in preliminary form, and each of the Company and Parent shall use its reasonable efforts to respond as promptly as practicable to any comments of the SEC with respect thereto. Parent and Merger Sub shall promptly furnish to the Company all information concerning Parent and Merger Sub required to be set forth in the Proxy Statement or reasonably requested by the Company for inclusion therein. Each of Parent and Merger Sub shall promptly correct any information provided by it for use in the Proxy Statement if and to the extent that such information shall have become false or misleading in any material respect and to correct any material omissions therein. The Company shall notify Parent and Merger Sub promptly of the receipt of any comments from the SEC or its staff and of any request by the SEC or its staff for amendments or supplements to the Proxy Statement or for additional information and shall supply Parent and Merger Sub with other copies of all correspondence between the Company and the SEC or its staff with respect to the Proxy Statement. If at any time prior to receipt of the Company Shareholder Approval there shall occur any event that should be set forth in an amendment or supplement to the Proxy Statement, the Company shall promptly prepare and mail to its shareholders such an amendment or supplement. The Company shall provide Parent and its counsel a reasonable opportunity to review the Proxy Statement prior to its being filed with the SEC and shall provide Parent and their counsel a reasonable opportunity to review all amendments and supplements to the Proxy Statement and all responses to requests for additional information prior to their being filed with, or sent to, the SEC. The Company shall give reasonable and good faith consideration to any comments made by Parent or its counsel, recognizing that the ultimate form and content of the Proxy Statement, any amendments and supplements thereto, and any response to requests for additional information will be the responsibility of the Company. The Company shall use its reasonable efforts to cause the Proxy Statement to be mailed to the Company’s shareholders as promptly as reasonably practicable after filing in definitive form with the SEC.

(b) At any time after the later of (x) the Initial Expiration Date, (y) the expiration of the time period contemplated by Rule 14a-6(a) under the Exchange Act and (z) the resolution of any comments on the Proxy Statement from the SEC (the “Clearance Date”), the Company shall have the right to (i) establish a record date (which will be as promptly as reasonably practicable), (ii) duly call and give notice of a meeting of its shareholders for the purpose of seeking the Company Shareholder Approval (the “Company Shareholders Meeting”) and (iii) cause the definitive Proxy Statement to be mailed to the Company’s shareholders as promptly as reasonably practicable after such record date, each for the purpose of obtaining the Shareholder Approval. If not previously undertaken by the Company, Parent and Merger Sub shall have the right, at any time on or after the date upon which the Company may elect to take such actions as described above, to request in writing that the Company, and upon receipt of such written request, the Company shall, as promptly as reasonably practicable (and in any event within ten (10) Business Days) take the actions specified in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of this Section 7.6(b).

(c) The Company shall, as promptly as reasonably practicable after the mailing of the Proxy Statement, (i) convene and hold the Company Shareholders Meeting and (ii) through the Company Board, recommend to its shareholders that they give the Company Shareholder Approval (except to the extent that the Company Board shall have withdrawn or modified its approval or recommendation of this Agreement, the Offer or the Merger as permitted by Section 7.4(d)). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Merger Sub and any other affiliate of Parent collectively acquire at least 90% of the outstanding shares of the Company Common Stock, Parent promptly shall, and shall cause Merger Sub to, cause the Merger to become effective as soon as practicable after the Acceptance Time without a shareholders meeting or a written consent in accordance with Section 11.05 of the MBCA.

(d) Parent and Merger Sub shall, in the case of a Company Shareholders Meeting, cause all shares of the Company Common Stock purchased pursuant to the Offer and all other shares of the Company Common Stock owned by Parent, Merger Sub or any of their affiliates to be voted in favor of the adoption of this Agreement.

(d) Each of Parent and the Company undertake to use commercially reasonable efforts to contest and resist any Action, including any legislative, administrative or judicial Action, and to have vacated, lifted, reversed or overturned any decree, judgment, injunction or other order (whether

temporary, preliminary or permanent) that restricts, prevents or prohibits the consummation of the Transactions; provided, however, that neither party is required to contest or appeal any such order issued by a United States Court of Appeals.

(e) Parent and the Company shall use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, as soon as possible, confirmation from the applicable Governmental Entities that they will not recommend that the Company’s security clearances be revoked, suspended or downgraded as a result of the consummation of the Transactions.

(a) Without limiting any additional rights that any director or officer may have under any employment or indemnification agreement in effect on the date hereof, from the Effective Time through the sixth (6th) anniversary of the date on which the Effective Time occurs, Parent and the Surviving Corporation (the “Indemnitors”) shall: (i) indemnify and hold harmless each person who is at the date of this Agreement or during the period from the date of this Agreement through the Closing Date serving as a director or officer of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”) to the fullest extent authorized or permitted by applicable law, as now or hereafter in effect, in connection with any Claim and any judgments, fines, penalties and amounts paid in settlement (including all interest, assessments and other charges paid or payable in connection with or in respect of such judgments, fines, penalties or amounts paid in settlement) resulting therefrom, and (ii) promptly pay on behalf of or, within thirty (30) days after any request for advancement, advance (provided, however, that the person to whom expenses are advanced provides an undertaking to repay such advances to the extent required by applicable law) to each of the Indemnified Parties, to the fullest extent authorized or permitted by applicable law, as now or hereafter in effect, any Expenses incurred in defending, serving as a witness with respect to or otherwise participating in any Claim in advance of the final disposition of such Claim, including payment on behalf of or advancement to the Indemnified Party of any Expenses incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with enforcing any rights with respect to such indemnification and/or advancement, in each case without the requirement of any bond or other security. The indemnification and advancement obligations of the Indemnitors pursuant to this Section 7.12(a) shall extend to acts or omissions occurring at or before the Effective Time and any Claim relating thereto (including with respect to any acts or omissions occurring in connection with the approval of this Agreement and the consummation of the Transactions, including the consideration and approval thereof and the process undertaken in connection therewith and any Claim relating thereto), and all rights to indemnification and advancement conferred hereunder shall continue as to a person who continues to be or who has ceased to be a director or officer of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries after the date of this Agreement and shall inure to the benefit of such person’s heirs, executors and personal and legal Representatives. As used in this Section 7.12(a): (A) the term “Claim” means any threatened, asserted, pending or completed Action, whether instituted by any party hereto, any Governmental Entity or any other party, that any Indemnified Party in good faith believes might lead to the institution of any such Action, whether civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or other, including any arbitration, mediation or other alternative dispute resolution mechanism, arising out of or pertaining to matters that relate to such Indemnified Party in his or her capacity as a director or officer of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries at or prior to the Effective Time, and (B) the term

“Expenses” means reasonable attorneys’ fees and all other reasonable costs, expenses and obligations (including experts’ fees, travel expenses, court costs, retainers, transcript fees, duplicating, printing and binding costs, as well as telecommunications, postage and courier charges and costs of enforcing this Section 7.12) paid or incurred in connection with investigating, defending, being a witness in or participating in (including on appeal), or preparing to investigate, defend, be a witness in or participate in, any Claim for which indemnification is authorized pursuant to this Section 7.12(a), including any Action relating to a claim for indemnification or advancement brought by an Indemnified Party. Neither Parent nor the Surviving Corporation shall settle, compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any Claim in respect of which indemnification has been or could be sought by such Indemnified Party hereunder unless (i) such settlement, compromise or judgment includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such Claim and does not contain any continuing restrictions on such Indemnified Party or (ii) such Indemnified Party otherwise consents thereto (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

(b) Without limiting the foregoing, Parent and Merger Sub agree that all rights to indemnification and exculpation from liabilities for acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Effective Time now existing in favor of the current or former directors, officers, trustees, employees, agents, or fiduciaries of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries as provided in the Company’s Articles of Organization or its Bylaws (or, as applicable, the charter, bylaws, partnership agreement, limited liability company agreement, or other organizational documents of any of the Company’s Subsidiaries) and indemnification agreements of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries identified on Section 7.12(b) of the Company Disclosure Schedule shall be assumed by the Surviving Corporation in the Merger, without further action, at the Effective Time and shall survive the Merger and shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with their terms.

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

(d) The Surviving Corporation shall maintain for a period of at least six (6) years the current policies of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance and fiduciary liability coverage maintained by the Company and its Subsidiaries with respect to claims arising from facts or events that occurred on or before the Effective Time, including in respect of the Transactions; provided, that (i) the Surviving Corporation may substitute therefor policies of at least the same coverage and amounts containing terms and conditions which are, in the aggregate, no less advantageous to the insured (provided, that such substitution shall not result in gaps or lapses of coverage with respect to matters occurring before the Effective Time), (ii) in no event shall the Surviving Corporation be required to expend pursuant to this Section 7.12(d) more than an amount per year of coverage equal to two hundred fifty percent (250%) of the current annual premiums paid by the Company for such insurance; provided, further that, with the consent of the Company, prior to the earlier of (x) the Effective Time and (y) such time as Parent’s or Merger Sub’s designees constitute a majority of the Company Board, the Surviving Corporation may purchase in lieu of the foregoing requirements a run-off or tail insurance policy, in each case, with reputable and financially sound carriers, with at least the same coverage and amounts containing terms and conditions that are substantially the same as, or more favorable than, those of the Company’s current policies, including deductibles and caps that are no less favorable to the Indemnified Parties than those in effect as of the date of this Agreement, covering acts or omissions

occurring at or prior to the Effective Time, including in respect of the Transactions. In the event that, but for the first proviso to the immediately preceding sentence, the Surviving Corporation would be required to expend more than two hundred fifty percent (250%) of the current annual premiums paid by the Company, the Surviving Corporation shall obtain the maximum amount of such insurance obtainable by payment of annual premiums equal to two hundred fifty percent (250%) of the current annual premiums paid by the Company. Parent shall, and shall cause the Surviving Corporation or its successors or assigns to, maintain such policies in full force and effect, and continue to honor all obligations thereunder.

(e) If the Surviving Corporation or any of its respective successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges with or into any other person and shall not be the continuing or surviving limited liability company, partnership or other entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers or conveys all or substantially all of its assets to any person, then, and in each such case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of the Surviving Corporation assumes the obligations set forth in this Section 7.12.

(f) Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to perform all of the obligations of the Surviving Corporation under this Section 7.12 and the parties acknowledge and agree that Parent guarantees the payment and performance of the Surviving Corporation’s obligations pursuant to this Section 7.12.

(g) This Section 7.12 is intended for the irrevocable benefit of, and to grant third party rights to, the Indemnified Parties and shall be binding on all successors and assigns of the Company, Parent and the Surviving Corporation. Each of the Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to enforce the covenants contained in this Section 7.12.

7.13 Shareholder Litigation. The Company shall give Parent the opportunity to participate in the defense or settlement of, and cooperate with Parent in connection with, any shareholder litigation or claim against the Company and/or its directors or officers relating to this Agreement or the Transactions; provided, that the Company may, in its sole discretion, enter into a settlement of any such shareholder litigation where the aggregate amount of any such settlements does not exceed $250,000 and does not involve the taking of any action other than the payment of monetary amounts; provided, further, that all obligations (other than consent to settlement) in this Section 7.13 shall be subject to the obligations of the Company under applicable laws relating to attorney-client communication and privilege.

7.14 Stock Exchange De-listing; Exchange Act De-registration. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall reasonably cooperate with Parent and use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and do or cause to be done all things, reasonably necessary, proper or advisable on its part under applicable laws and rules and policies of Nasdaq to enable the de-listing by the Surviving Corporation of the Company Common Stock from Nasdaq and the deregistration of the Company Common Stock under the Exchange Act as promptly as practicable after the Effective Time, and in any event no more than ten (10) days after the Closing.

7.15 Rule 14d-10(d) Matters. Prior to the Acceptance Time, the Company (acting through the Company Board and its compensation committee) will take all such steps as may be required to cause each agreement, arrangement or understanding entered into by the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company prior to, on or after the date of this Agreement with any of its officers, directors or employees pursuant to which consideration is paid to such officer, director or employee to be approved or ratified as an “employment compensation, severance or other employee benefit arrangement” within the meaning of Rule 14d-10(d)(1) under the Exchange Act and to satisfy the requirements of the non-exclusive safe harbor set forth in Rule 14d-10(d) under the Exchange Act. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing contained

in this Section 7.15 shall permit the Company to take any action that would be prohibited under any other provision of this Agreement, including under any covenant or negative covenant set forth in Section 7.1 or Section 7.2.

7.16 Directors.

(a) Promptly upon acceptance for payment of, and payment by Merger Sub for, any shares of the Company Common Stock pursuant to the Offer, the Parent or Merger Sub shall be entitled to designate, from time to time, such number of persons for election or appointment to the Company Board as will give Merger Sub representation on the Company Board equal to at least such number of directors, rounded up to the nearest whole number, that is the product of (a) the total number of directors on the Company Board (giving effect to the directors elected or appointed pursuant to this sentence) multiplied by (b) a fraction (i) the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of the Company Common Stock so accepted for payment and paid for by Merger Sub plus the number of shares of the Company Common Stock otherwise owned by Parent or Merger Sub or any Subsidiary of Parent and (ii) the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Company Common Stock outstanding, and the Company shall, at such time, cause Merger Sub’s designees to be so elected or appointed; provided, however, that in the event that Merger Sub’s designees are appointed or elected to the Company Board, until the Effective Time the Company Board shall have at least three (3) directors who are directors on the date of this Agreement and who will be independent for purposes of Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act (the “Independent Directors”); provided, further, that, in such event, if the number of Independent Directors shall be reduced below three (3) for any reason whatsoever, any remaining Independent Directors (or Independent Director, if there shall be only one (1) remaining) shall be entitled to designate persons to fill such vacancies who shall be deemed to be Independent Directors for purposes of this Agreement or, if no Independent Directors then remain, the other directors shall designate three (3) persons to fill such vacancies who will be independent for purposes of Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act and the applicable stock exchange requirements, and such persons shall be deemed to be Independent Directors for purposes of this Agreement. The Company’s obligations under this Section 7.16 shall be subject to Section 14(f) of the Exchange Act and Rule 14f-1 promulgated thereunder. Subject to applicable law, the Company shall make commercially reasonable efforts to effect any such election, including mailing to its shareholders the Information Statement containing the information required by Section 14(f) of the Exchange Act and Rule 14f-1 promulgated thereunder, and the Company shall make such mailing with the mailing of the Schedule 14D-9 (provided that Merger Sub shall have provided to the Company on a timely basis all information required to be included in the Information Statement with respect to Merger Sub’s designees). In connection with the foregoing, the Company shall promptly, at the option of the Parent or Merger Sub, either increase the authorized number of directors of the Company Board or use reasonable efforts to obtain the resignation of such number of its current directors as is necessary to enable Merger Sub’s designees to be elected or appointed to the Company Board as provided above. At such time, the Company shall, if requested by Parent, take commercially reasonable efforts to cause individuals designated by Parent to constitute the number of members, rounded up to the nearest whole number, on (A) each committee of the Company Board and (B) each board of directors of each of the Company’s Subsidiaries (and each committee thereof) that represents the same percentage as such individuals represent on the Company Board in each case to the extent permitted by applicable law or the rules of the Nasdaq.

(b) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if Parent’s or Merger Sub’s designees constitute a majority of the Company Board prior to the Effective Time, then the affirmative vote of a majority of the Independent Directors shall (in addition to the approval rights of the Company Board or the shareholders of the Company as may be required by the governing documents of the Company or applicable law) be required for the Company (i) to amend or terminate

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

7.17 Takeover Statutes. If any “control share acquisition,” “business combination,” “fair price,” “moratorium” or other anti-takeover applicable law becomes or is deemed to be applicable to the Company, Parent, Merger Sub, the Offer, the acquisition of shares of Company Common Stock pursuant to the Offer, the Top-Up Option, the Voting Agreements, the Merger or any other Transaction, then each of the Company, Parent, Merger Sub, and their respective Board of Directors shall grant such approvals and take such actions as are necessary so that the transactions contemplated hereby may be consummated as promptly as practicable on the terms contemplated hereby and otherwise act to render such anti-takeover applicable law inapplicable to the foregoing.

(i) if Parent terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.1(c)(ii);

10.3 Interpretation. The headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. In this Agreement, unless a contrary intention appears, (i) the words “herein,” “hereof” and “hereunder” and other words of similar import refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular Article, Section or other subdivision, (ii) the word “including” means “including without limitation” and is intended by the parties to be by way of example rather than limitation, (iii) reference to any Article or Section means such Article or Section hereof; (iv) whenever this Agreement indicates that the Company has “made available,” “provided” or “delivered” any document to Parent or Merger Sub, such statement is to be deemed to be a statement that such document was (A) delivered to Parent or Merger Sub with acknowledged written receipt thereof or (B) made available (with separate written notice to Parent or Merger Sub) for viewing online on the electronic data site maintained by the Company in connection with the Transactions at least two (2) Business Days prior to the date of this Agreement; and (v) references in this Agreement to actions taken in the “ordinary course” or “ordinary course of business” shall be deemed to refer to an action taken by any Person in the ordinary course of such Person’s business that is consistent with the past customs and practices of such Person in the normal day-to-day operations of such Person. The parties have participated jointly in negotiating and drafting this Agreement, and therefore no provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted or construed against any party hereto solely because such party or its legal representative drafted such provision.

10.4 Entire Agreement. This Agreement (including the exhibits and annexes hereto, the Company Disclosure Schedule, the Parent Disclosure Schedule, and the other documents and instruments referred to herein), together with the Confidentiality Agreement, constitutes the entire agreement and supersedes all other prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the parties, or any of them, with respect to the subject matter hereof.

10.5 Assignment. No party may assign, delegate or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the consent of each other party hereto, except that Parent or Merger Sub may transfer or assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement, in whole or from time to time in part, to (i) one or more of their Affiliates at any time and (ii) after the Effective Time, to any Person; provided, however, that such transfer or assignment shall not relieve Parent or Merger Sub of its obligations hereunder or enlarge, alter or change any obligation of any other party hereto or due to Parent or Merger Sub. Any assignment in violation of the foregoing shall be null and void.

10.6 Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED IN ALL RESPECTS, INCLUDING VALIDITY, INTERPRETATION AND EFFECT, BY THE LAWS OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS APPLICABLE TO CONTRACTS EXECUTED AND TO BE PERFORMED WHOLLY WITHIN SUCH STATE WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO THE CONFLICT OF LAW PRINCIPLES THEREOF.

10.7 Jurisdiction. Each of Parent, Merger Sub and the Company hereby irrevocably and unconditionally consents to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Delaware Chancery Court, or if such court shall not have jurisdiction, any federal court located in the State of Delaware or other Delaware state court (the “Relevant Courts”) for any litigation arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Transactions (and agrees not to commence any litigation relating thereto except in such courts), waives any objection to the laying of venue of any such litigation in the Relevant Courts and agrees not to plead

or claim in any Relevant Court that such litigation brought therein has been brought in an inconvenient forum; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 10.7 is intended to waive the right of any party to remove any such Action or proceeding commenced in any such state court in the State of Delaware to an appropriate federal court in the State of Delaware to the extent the basis for such removal exists under applicable law. The parties agree that the mailing by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, of any process required by any Relevant Court, to the address specified in Section 10.2, shall constitute valid and lawful service of process against them, without necessity for service by any other means provided by statute or rule of court.

10.8 Enforcement.

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

(b) Subject to the last paragraph of Section 9.1, the Company may pursue any other remedy available to it at law or in equity, including monetary damages, in the event of the willful breach by Parent or Merger Sub of this Agreement or fraud on the part of Parent or Merger Sub, which damages Parent and Merger Sub agree shall not be limited to reimbursement of expenses or out-of-pocket costs; provided, that it is agreed that neither this provision nor any other provision in this Agreement is intended to provide the Company’s stockholders (or any party acting on their behalf other than the Company) the ability to seek (whether in its capacity as a stockholder or purporting to assert any right (derivatively or otherwise) on behalf of the Company) the enforcement of, or directly seek any remedies pursuant to, this Agreement, or otherwise create any rights in the Company’s stockholders under this Agreement or otherwise, including against the Company or its directors, under any theory of law or equity, including under the applicable laws of agency or the laws relating to the rights and obligations of third party beneficiaries. For the avoidance of doubt as to the parties’ intent, the determination of whether and how to terminate, amend, make any waiver or consent under, or enforce this Agreement, and whether and how (if applicable) to distribute any damages award to its stockholders, shall exclusively belong to the Company (acting expressly through its Company Board) in its sole discretion.

(c) The rights and remedies herein provided shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by applicable law.

10.9 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts (including by facsimile or electronic data file), each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which shall constitute one and the same agreement. This Agreement shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the parties and delivered (by electronic communication, facsimile or otherwise) to the other parties.

10.10 Parties In Interest. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of each party hereto, and except for Section 7.12 hereof, nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any other person other than the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns any rights or remedies of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement.

10.11 Severability. Should any provision of this Agreement be judicially declared to be invalid, unenforceable or void, such decision will not have the effect of invalidating or voiding the remainder of this Agreement, and the part or parts of this Agreement so held to be invalid, unenforceable or void will be deemed to have been stricken herefrom, and the remainder will have the same force and effectiveness as if such stricken part or parts had never been included herein. Upon such a determination, the parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.

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

10.13 Disclaimer. The representations and warranties in this Agreement are the product of negotiations among the parties hereto and are for the sole benefit of such parties. Any inaccuracies in such representations and warranties are subject to waiver by the parties hereto in accordance with Section 9.4 or Exhibit B without notice or liability to any other Person. In some instances, the representations and warranties in this Agreement may represent an allocation among the parties hereto of risks associated with particular matters regardless of the knowledge of any of such parties. Consequently, Persons other than the parties hereto may not rely upon the representations and warranties in this Agreement as characterizations of actual facts or circumstances as of the date of this Agreement or as of any other date.
