WHEREAS, concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, as a condition of and an inducement to the willingness of Parent and Merger Sub to enter into this Agreement, (i) each stockholder of the Company listed on Exhibit A hereto is entering into a voting agreement in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (each a "Voting Agreement"), (ii) each employee of the Company listed on Exhibit C hereto (each a "Key Employee") is entering into with Parent a noncompetition and nonsolicitation agreement in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit D (each a "Noncompetition and Nonsolicitation Agreement"); and (iii) each Key Employee listed on Exhibit E hereto is entering into an offer letter, noncompetition and nonsolication agreement and employment agreement in substantially the forms attached hereto as Exhibit F (the "Employee Documents").

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements set forth herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged and accepted, and intending to be legally bound, Parent, Merger Sub and the Company hereby agree as follows:

ARTICLE 1

THE MERGER

1.1 The Merger. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement and the applicable provisions of the DGCL, at the Effective Time, Merger Sub shall be merged with and into the Company, the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub shall thereupon cease and the Company shall continue as the surviving corporation of the Merger and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent. The Company, in its capacity as the surviving corporation of the Merger, is sometimes referred to herein as the "Surviving Corporation."

1.2 The Effective Time. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, on the Closing Date, Parent, Merger Sub and the Company shall cause the Merger to be consummated under the DGCL by filing a certificate of merger in customary form and substance (the "Certificate of Merger") with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (the "Delaware Secretary of State") in accordance with the applicable provisions of the DGCL (the time of such filing with the Delaware Secretary of State, or such later time as may be agreed in writing by Parent, Merger Sub and the Company and specified in the Certificate of Merger, being referred to herein as the "Effective Time").

1.3 The Closing. The consummation of the Merger shall take place at a closing (the "Closing") to occur at the offices of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇▇, Professional Corporation, ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇ ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, no later than the second (2nd) Business Day after the satisfaction or waiver (to the extent permitted hereunder) of the conditions set forth in Article VI (other than those conditions that by their terms are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver (to the extent permitted hereunder), of such conditions), or at such other location, date and time as Parent, Merger Sub and the Company shall mutually agree upon in writing. The date upon which the Closing shall actually occur pursuant hereto is referred to herein as the "Closing Date".

1.4 Effect of the Merger. At the Effective Time, the effect of the Merger shall be as provided in this Agreement and the applicable provisions of the DGCL. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, at the Effective Time all of the property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of the Company and Merger Sub shall vest in the Surviving Corporation, and all debts, liabilities and duties of the Company and Merger Sub shall become the debts, liabilities and duties of the Surviving Corporation.

1.5 Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws

(a) Certificate of Incorporation. At the Effective Time, the certificate of incorporation of the Company (the "Certificate of Incorporation") shall be amended and restated in its entirety to read identically to the form of the certificate of incorporation attached hereto as Exhibit G, and, as so amended and restated, shall become the certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter amended in accordance with the applicable provisions of the DGCL and such certificate of incorporation.

(b) Bylaws. At the Effective Time, the bylaws of the Company shall be amended to be identical to the bylaws of Merger Sub, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time and amended so as to comply with Section 5.8(b), and, as so amended, shall become the bylaws of the Surviving Corporation (except that, for the avoidance of doubt, the name of the Surviving Corporation shall be "Proginet Corporation") until thereafter amended in accordance with the applicable provisions of the DGCL, the certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation and such bylaws.

1.6 Directors and Officers.

(a) Directors. Unless otherwise determined by Parent prior to the Effective Time, the directors of the Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the directors of Surviving Corporation immediately after the Effective Time, each to hold office in accordance with the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Surviving Corporation until their respective successors are duly elected or appointed and qualified.

(b) Officers. Unless otherwise determined by Parent prior to the Effective Time, the officers of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the officers of the Surviving Corporation immediately after the Effective Time, each to hold office in accordance with the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Surviving Corporation until their respective successors are duly appointed.

1.7 Effect on Capital Stock

(a) Capital Stock. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, at the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company, or the holders of any of the following securities, the following shall occur:

(i) each share of Company Common Stock that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than Owned Company Shares and Dissenting Shares) shall be canceled and extinguished and automatically converted into the right to receive cash in an amount equal to $1.15, without interest thereon (the "Per Share Price"); provided, however, that in no event shall the aggregate amount paid by Parent pursuant to this Agreement (including pursuant to this Section 1.7(a)(i) and Section 1.7(d)(i) or with respect to any withholding tax required to be paid by Parent or the Surviving Corporation but excluding any amount paid with respect to Dissenting Shares pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL) be in excess of $23,500,000 such that in the event of the product of (x) $1.15 and (y) the number of shares of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (assuming for these purposes that all outstanding Company Options and other securities have been exercised without giving effect to Section 1.7(d)(i)), is greater than $23,500,000, then the Per Share Price shall equal the quotient obtained by dividing (A) $23,500,000 by (B) the number of shares of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (assuming for these purposes that all outstanding Company Options and other securities have been exercised without giving effect to Section 1.7(d)(i));

(ii) each share of Company Common Stock that is held by the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time ("Owned Company Shares"), shall be cancelled and extinguished without any conversion thereof or consideration paid therefore; and

(iii) each share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of Merger Sub that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into one validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares of common stock of the Surviving Corporation (which shares of common stock of the Surviving Corporation shall be deemed not to be outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time for purposes of this Agreement), and thereupon each certificate representing ownership of such shares of common stock of Merger Sub shall thereafter represent ownership of shares of common stock of the Surviving Corporation.

(b) Adjustment to Per Share Price. The Per Share Price shall be adjusted appropriately to reflect the effect of any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend (including any dividend or other distribution of securities convertible into Company Common Stock, but excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, the granting or other issuance of Company Options in accordance with this Agreement), reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, combination, exchange of shares or other like change with respect to Company Common Stock occurring on or after the date hereof and prior to the Effective Time, in each case which is effected in accordance with or otherwise permitted by the terms of this Agreement.

(i) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, other than Section 1.7(c)(ii), any shares of Company Common Stock held by a holder who has properly exercised appraisal rights for such shares pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL and who, as of the Effective Time, has not effectively withdrawn or lost or failed to perfect such appraisal rights ("Dissenting Shares"), shall not be converted into or represent a right to receive the Per Share Price pursuant to Section 1.7(a)(i), but instead shall be converted into the right to receive only such consideration as may be determined to be due with respect to such Dissenting Shares under the DGCL. From and after the Effective Time, a holder of Dissenting Shares shall not be entitled to exercise any of the voting rights or other rights of an equity owner of the Surviving Company or of a stockholder of Parent.

(ii) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 1.7(c)(i) if any holder of shares of Company Common Stock who demands appraisal for such shares in accordance with the DGCL shall effectively withdraw or lose (through failure to perfect or otherwise) the right to dissent, then, as of the later of the Effective Time and the occurrence of such event, such holder's shares shall no longer be Dissenting Shares and shall automatically be converted into and represent only the right to receive the Per Share Price as set forth in Section 1.7(a)(i), without any interest thereon.

(iii) The Company shall give Parent (A) prompt notice of any written demands for appraisal rights of any shares of Company Common Stock, withdrawals of such demands, and any other instruments served pursuant to the DGCL and received by the Company which relate to any such demand for appraisal rights and (B) the opportunity to participate in and control (with the participation of the Company) all negotiations and proceedings that take place prior to the Effective Time with respect to demands for appraisal rights under the DGCL; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, prior to the Effective Time Parent shall not have the authority to cause the Company to commit to or incur any obligations with respect to any demands for appraisal rights. The Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of Parent, make any payment with respect to any demands for appraisal rights of Company Common Stock or offer to settle or settle any such demands.

(d) Company Options.

(i) Parent shall not assume any Company Options in connection with the Merger. Immediately prior to the Effective Time, each then outstanding Company Option shall by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, be cancelled and cease to be outstanding, and (A) in the case of any Company Option having a per share exercise price less than the Per Share Price, be converted into the right to receive following the Effective Time from the Parent (or the Surviving Corporation) for each share of Company Common Stock issuable upon exercise of such Company Option immediately prior to such cancellation, an amount (subject to any applicable tax withholding) in cash equal to the product of (x) the number of shares of Company Common Stock issuable upon exercise of such Company Option immediately prior to such cancellation and (y) the amount by which the Per Share Price exceeds the per share exercise price of such Company Option (the "Option Consideration"), or (B) in the case of any Company Option having a per share exercise price equal to or greater than the Per Share Price, without the payment of cash or issuance of other securities or any other consideration in respect thereof. Payment of the Option Consideration to holders of Company Options, without interest thereon, less applicable Taxes required to be withheld with respect to such payments pursuant to this Section 1.7(d)(i), shall be made from the Exchange Fund in accordance with Section 1.8, except as otherwise provided in Section 1.8.

(ii) Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to take such actions as may be necessary to give effect to the transactions contemplated by this Section 1.7(d), including by delivering to the holders of Company Options notices, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Parent, setting forth such holders' rights pursuant to this Agreement.

1.8 Exchange of Certificates and Company Options.

(a) Payment Agent. Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall select a bank or trust company reasonably acceptable to the Company to act as the payment agent for the Merger (the "Payment Agent").

(b) Exchange Fund. At the Effective Time, Parent shall deposit (or cause to be deposited) with the Payment Agent, for payment to the holders of shares of Company Common Stock and holders of Company Options pursuant to the provisions of this Article I, an amount of cash equal to the aggregate consideration to which holders of Company Common Stock and Company Options become entitled under Section 1.7(a)(i) and Section 1.7(d)(i) hereto, respectively, assuming no Dissenting Shares. Any such cash deposited with the Payment Agent (such cash being referred to herein as the "Exchange Fund") shall be invested by the Payment Agent in treasuries or other interest-bearing investments in accordance with Parent's investment policy. Any income from investment of the Exchange Fund, which shall be in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, will be payable to the Surviving Corporation. Promptly following the Paying Agent’s receipt of the Exchange Fund, Parent shall instruct the Paying Agent to distribute to the Surviving Corporation for payment by the Surviving Corporation of the aggregate Option Consideration to such holders of Company Options that become entitled to Option Consideration under Section 1.7(d)(i).

(i) Company Common Stock Payment Procedures. Promptly following the Effective Time, Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall cause the Payment Agent to mail to each holder of record (as of immediately prior to the Effective Time) of (i) a certificate or certificates (the "Share Certificates") which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding shares of Company Common Stock and (ii) uncertificated shares of Company Common Stock (the "Uncertificated Shares") (A) a letter of transmittal (which shall specify that delivery of Share Certificates or Uncertificated Shares shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Share Certificates or Uncertificated Shares shall pass, only upon delivery of the Share Certificates or Uncertificated Shares, as the case may be, to the Payment Agent, and shall be in such form and have such other provisions as Parent or the Exchange Agent may reasonably specify), and/or (B) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Share Certificates and Uncertificated Shares in exchange for the Per Share Price payable in respect thereof pursuant to the provisions of this Article I. Upon surrender of Share Certificates for cancellation to the Payment Agent or to such other agent or agents as may be appointed by Parent, together with such letter of transmittal, duly completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto and such other documents as may reasonably be specified by the Payment Agent, the holders of record of such Share Certificates shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor an amount in cash equal to the product obtained by multiplying (x) the aggregate number of shares of Company Common Stock represented by such Share Certificate, by (y) the Per Share Price (less any applicable tax withholding payable in respect thereof), and the Share Certificates so surrendered shall forthwith be canceled. Upon receipt of an "agent's message" by the Payment Agent (or such other evidence, if any, including a letter of transmittal, of transfer as the Payment Agent may reasonably request) in the case of a book-entry transfer of Uncertificated Shares, the holders of record of such Uncertificated Shares shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor an amount in cash equal to the product obtained by multiplying (x) the aggregate number of shares of Company Common Stock represented by such holder's transferred Uncertificated Shares, by (y) the Per Share Price (less any applicable tax withholding payable in respect thereof), and the transferred Uncertificated Shares so surrendered shall forthwith be canceled. The Payment Agent shall accept such Share Certificates and transferred Uncertificated Shares upon compliance with such reasonable terms and conditions as the Payment Agent may impose to effect an orderly exchange thereof in accordance with normal exchange practices. No interest shall be paid or accrued for the benefit of holders of the Share Certificates and Uncertificated Shares on the Per Share Price payable upon the surrender of such Share Certificates and Uncertificated Shares pursuant to this Section 1.8. Until so surrendered, outstanding Share Certificates and Uncertificated Shares shall be deemed from and after the Effective Time, to evidence only the right to receive the Per Share Price, without interest thereon, payable in respect thereof pursuant to the provisions of this Article I.

(ii) Company Option Payment Procedures. Promptly following the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall mail or otherwise deliver to each holder of record of Company Options with a certificate or other written evidence of ownership of Company Options (the "Option Certificates" and together with the Share Certificates, the "Certificates") entitled to payments pursuant to Section 1.7(d)(i) a letter of transmittal in form reasonably acceptable to Parent (the "Company Option Letter") which shall include (A) a release of claims against the Company, the Surviving Company, Parent and Merger Sub relating to the Company Options (including the cancellation thereof), (B) an agreement that such holder shall receive Option Consideration to which such holder is entitled pursuant Section 1.7(d)(i), and (C) be in such form and have such other reasonable provisions not inconsistent with this Agreement as Parent may specify. After the Effective Time, upon the surrender of Option Certificates for cancellation to the Surviving Corporation or to such other agent or agents as may be appointed by Parent, together with the timely return of such Company Option Letter and such documents as may reasonably be specified by Parent (or the Surviving Corporation) to the Surviving Corporation, properly completed and duly executed by such holder in accordance with the instructions thereto, the holders of Option Certificates shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor from the Surviving Corporation an amount of cash equal to the Option Consideration that such holder has the right to receive pursuant to Section 1.7(d)(i) in respect of such Company Options, after giving effect to any withholding provided for herein.

(d) Required Withholding. Each of the Payment Agent, Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any cash amounts payable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder or former holder of shares of Company Common Stock and Company Options such amounts as may be required to be deducted or withheld therefrom, including under U.S. federal or state, local or non-U.S. Tax laws. To the extent that such amounts are so deducted or withheld and paid over to the appropriate taxing authority or other Person, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes under this Agreement as having been paid to the Person to whom such amounts would otherwise have been paid.

(e) No Liability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, none of the Payment Agent, Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any other party hereto shall be liable to a holder of shares of Company Common Stock or Company Options for any amount properly paid to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar law.

(f) Distribution of Exchange Fund to the Surviving Corporation. Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains undistributed to the holders of the Certificates or Uncertificated Shares or the Company Options on the date that is one hundred eighty (180) days after the Effective Time shall be delivered to the Surviving Corporation (or otherwise according to the written instructions of the Surviving Corporation) upon demand, and any holders of shares of Company Common Stock that were issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time who have not theretofore surrendered their Certificates or Uncertificated Shares representing such shares of Company Common Stock for exchange pursuant to the provisions of this Section 1.8 shall, after such delivery by the Surviving Corporation, look for payment of the Per Share Price payable in respect of the shares of Company Common Stock represented by such Certificates or Uncertificated Shares or the Option Consideration payable in respect of Company Options represented by such Option Certificates solely to the Surviving Corporation (subject to abandoned property, escheat or other similar laws), solely as general creditors thereof, for any claim to the applicable Per Share Price or Option Consideration, as the case may be, to which such holders may be entitled pursuant to the provisions of this Article I.

1.9 No Further Ownership Rights in Company Common Stock. From and after the Effective Time, all shares of Company Common Stock shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled, retired and cease to exist, and each holder of Uncertificated Shares or a Certificate theretofore representing any shares of Company Common Stock shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the Per Share Price payable therefor in accordance with the provisions of Section 1.7 (subject to Section 1.8) or dissenters rights under the DGCL. The Per Share Price paid in accordance with the terms of this Article I shall be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such shares of the Company Common Stock. The Option Consideration paid in accordance with the terms of this Article I shall be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such Company Options. From and after the Effective Time, there shall be no further registration of transfers on the records of the Surviving Corporation of shares of Company Common Stock that were issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, other than transfers to reflect, in accordance with customary settlement procedures, trades effected prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates or Uncertificated Shares are presented to the Surviving Corporation for any reason, they shall be canceled and exchanged as provided in this Article I.

1.10 Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. In the event that any Certificates shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, the Payment Agent shall issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificates, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the holder thereof, the Per Share Price payable in respect thereof pursuant to Section 1.7(a)(i); provided, however, that Parent may, in its sole discretion and as a condition precedent to the payment of such Per Share Price, require the owners of such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificates to deliver a bond in such reasonable sum as it may reasonably direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against Parent, the Surviving Corporation or the Payment Agent with respect to the Certificates alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed, and in connection therewith, the holder of such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate shall be responsible for all fees and premiums, if any, required by the Payment Agent.

1.11 Necessary Further Actions. If, at and at any time after the Effective Time, any further action is necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement and to vest the Surviving Corporation with full right, title and possession to all assets, property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of the Company and Merger Sub, each of the Company, Parent and Merger Sub shall cause its directors and officers to take all such lawful and necessary action, so long as such action is not inconsistent with this Agreement and will be authorized to execute and deliver, in the name and on behalf of the Company and Merger Sub, any deeds, bills of sale, assignments or assurances and to take and do, in the name and on behalf of Company and Merger Sub, any other actions and things to vest, perfect or confirm of record or otherwise in the Surviving Corporation any and all right, title and interest in, to and under any of the rights, properties or assets acquired or to be acquired by the Surviving Corporation as a result of, or in connection with, the Merger.

This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Company and, assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery by Parent and Merger Sub, constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, except that such enforceability (a) may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws affecting or relating to creditors' rights generally, and (b) is subject to the rules governing the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies and general principles of equity, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law.

(a) As soon as practicable following the date hereof (and in any event the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to do so within fifteen (15) calendar days), the Company, in consultation with Parent, shall prepare and file with the SEC, a preliminary Proxy Statement for use in connection with the solicitation of proxies from the Company Stockholders for use at the Company Stockholder Meeting. The Proxy Statement shall include the notice to stockholders required by 262 of the DGCL that appraisal rights will be available. As promptly as practicable after any comments are received from the SEC thereon (or upon notice from the SEC that no such comments will be made), the Company shall, in consultation with Parent, prepare and file any required amendments to, and the definitive, Proxy Statement with the SEC. The Company shall provide Parent (and its counsel) with a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on the preliminary Proxy Statement and any amendment or supplement thereto prior to filing such with the SEC, and will provide Parent with a copy of all such filings made with the SEC. If the Company determines that it is required to file with the SEC any Other Required Company Filing under applicable law, the Company shall promptly prepare and file with the SEC such Other Required Company Filing within a reasonable amount of time. The Company shall cause the Proxy Statement and any Other Required Company Filing to comply as to form and substance in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules of the SEC. Parent and Merger Sub shall furnish all information concerning the Parent and Merger Sub (and their respective Affiliates, if applicable) as the Company may reasonably request as required in connection with the preparation and filing with the SEC of the Proxy Statement and any Other Required Company Filing. If at any time prior to the Company Stockholder Meeting, any information relating to the Company, Parent or Merger Sub, or any of their respective partners, members, stockholders, directors, officers or other Affiliates, should be discovered by the Company, Parent or Merger Sub which should be set forth in an amendment or supplement to the Proxy Statement or any Other Required Company Filing, as the case may be, so that the Proxy Statement or Other Required Company Filing, as the case may be, would not include any misstatement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, the party which discovers such information shall promptly notify the other, and an appropriate amendment or supplement to the Proxy Statement or the applicable Other Required Company Filing describing such information shall be promptly prepared and filed with the SEC and, to the extent required by applicable law or the SEC or its staff, disseminated to the Company Stockholders.

(b) Subject to applicable law, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Proxy Statement to be disseminated to the Company Stockholders as promptly as practicable following the filing thereof with the SEC and confirmation from the SEC that it will not comment on, or that it has no additional comments on, the Proxy Statement or any Other Required Company Filing (the date of such confirmation, the "SEC Clearance Date"). If the SEC has failed to affirmatively notify the Company within ten (10) days after the filing of the Proxy Statement with the SEC that it will not be reviewing the Proxy Statement, then the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such confirmation from the SEC that it will not comment on, or that it has no additional comments on, the Proxy Statement and the date on which the Company receives such confirmation shall be the SEC Clearance Date.

(c) Unless the Company Board shall have effected a Company Board Recommendation Change pursuant to the terms of Section 5.4(a), (i) the Company and its Affiliates shall not file with the SEC the Proxy Statement or any Other Required Company Filing or any amendment or supplement thereto, and (ii) the Company and its Affiliates shall not correspond or otherwise communicate with the SEC or its staff with respect to the Proxy Statement or any Other Required Company Filing in any such case referenced in the preceding clause (i) or (ii) without providing Parent and Merger Sub a reasonable opportunity to review and comment thereon.

(d) Unless the Company Board shall have effected a Company Board Recommendation Change pursuant to the terms of Section 5.4(a), the Company shall advise Parent and Merger Sub, promptly after the Company receives notice thereof, of any receipt of a request by the SEC or its staff for an amendment or revisions to the Proxy Statement or any Other Required Company Filing, any receipt of comments from the SEC or its staff on the Proxy Statement or any Other Required Company Filing, or any receipt of a request by the SEC or its staff for additional information in connection therewith.

(e) Unless the Company Board shall have effected a Company Board Recommendation Change in accordance with the terms of Section 5.4(a), the Company shall include the Company Board Recommendation in the Proxy Statement and, if applicable, any Other Required Company Filings.

5.3 Company Stockholder Meeting.

(a) The Company shall duly call, give notice of, convene and hold a meeting of the Company Stockholders (or any adjournment or postponement thereof, the "Company Stockholder Meeting") as promptly as reasonably practicable following the date hereof (and in any event, subject to the immediately following proviso, no later than forty-five (45) calendar days immediately following the SEC Clearance Date); provided, however, nothing herein shall prevent the Company from postponing or adjourning the Company Stockholder Meeting if (i) there are holders of insufficient shares of the Company Common Stock present or represented by a proxy at the Company Stockholder Meeting to constitute a quorum at the Company Stockholder Meeting, (ii) the Company is required to postpone or adjourn the Company Stockholder Meeting by applicable law, order or a request from the SEC or its staff, (iii) the Company Board shall have determined in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel, that a failure to so delay the Company Stockholder Meeting would be reasonably likely to violate the directors' fiduciary duties under applicable law or (iv) a failure to so delay the Company Stockholder Meeting would be reasonably likely to violate applicable duties of disclosure or other applicable disclosure requirements under applicable law.

(b) The Company shall establish a record date for purposes of determining the Company Stockholders entitled to notice of and vote at the Company Stockholder Meeting (the "Record Date"). Once the Company has established the Record Date, the Company shall not change such Record Date or establish a different record date for the Company Stockholder Meeting without the prior written consent of Parent, unless required to do so by applicable law or in the event that the Company Board shall have determined in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel, that a failure to do so would be reasonably likely to violate the directors' fiduciary duties under applicable law. In the event that the date of the Company Stockholder Meeting as originally called is for any reason adjourned or postponed or otherwise delayed, the Company agrees that unless Parent shall have otherwise approved in writing, it shall implement such adjournment or postponement or other delay in such a way that the Company does not establish a new Record Date for the Company Stockholder Meeting, as so adjourned, postponed or delayed, except as required by applicable law or in the event the Company Board shall have determined in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel, that doing so would be reasonably likely to violate the directors' fiduciary duties under applicable law.

(c) Unless the Company Board shall have effected a Company Board Recommendation Change pursuant to the terms of Section 5.4(a), the Company shall solicit from the Company Stockholders proxies in favor of the adoption of this Agreement in accordance with Delaware Law, submit this Agreement for its adoption by the Company Stockholders at the Company Stockholder Meeting and use its commercially reasonable efforts to secure the Requisite Stockholder Approval at the Company Stockholder Meeting, including, with the prior written consent of Parent and subject to the approval of the Company Stockholders at the Company Stockholder Meeting, adjourning the Company Stockholder Meeting to solicit additional proxies if at the time of the Company Stockholder Meeting, the Company does not have sufficient votes to obtain the Requisite Stockholder Approval. The Company shall, upon the reasonable request of Parent, advise Parent at least on a daily basis on each of the last ten (10) Business Days prior to the date of the Company Stockholders Meeting, as to the aggregate tally of the proxies received by the Company with respect to the Requisite Stockholder Approval. Without the prior written consent of Parent, the adoption of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (including the Merger) shall be the only matter (other than procedure matters including adjournments) that the Company shall propose to be acted on by the Company Stockholders at the Company Stockholders Meeting. Notwithstanding any Company Board Recommendation Change, unless this Agreement is validly terminated pursuant to, and in accordance with Article VII, this Agreement shall be submitted to the Company Stockholders for the purpose of obtaining the Requisite Stockholder Approval.

5.4 Company Board Recommendation.

(a) Neither the Company Board nor any committee thereof shall (i) withhold, withdraw, qualify or modify (or publicly propose or resolve to withhold, withdraw, qualify or modify), in a manner adverse to Parent or the Merger Sub, the Company Board Recommendation with respect to the Merger, (ii) adopt, approve or recommend or propose to adopt, approve or recommend (publicly or otherwise) an Acquisition Proposal, (iii) after the receipt of any Acquisition Proposal, fail to publicly reaffirm the Company Board Recommendation within ten (10) Business Days after Parent so requests in writing (provided that Parent may make such request no more than once with respect to any such Acquisition Proposal) or (iv) fail to include the Company Board Recommendation in the Proxy Statement (any action described in clauses (i) through (iv), a "Company Board Recommendation Change"); provided, however, that a "stop, look and listen" communication by the Company Board or any authorized committee thereof to the Company Stockholders pursuant to Rule 14d-9(f) of the Exchange Act, or any substantially similar communication, shall not be deemed to be a Company Board Recommendation Change; and provided further, that notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement (including the provisions of Section 4.3 or Section 5.1), at any time prior to the receipt of the Requisite Stockholder Approval, the Company Board may effect a Company Board Recommendation Change in accordance with Section 5.4(b).

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 4.3 or Section 5.4(a), at any time prior to obtaining the Requisite Stockholder Approval, the Company Board may effect a Company Board Recommendation Change if:

(i) the Company has received an unsolicited bona fide written Acquisition Proposal from any Person that is not withdrawn and that the Company Board concludes in good faith constitutes a Superior Proposal; and

(ii) the Company Board shall have determined in good faith, after consultation with its independent financial advisor and outside legal counsel, that in light of such Superior Proposal, the failure of the Company Board to effect a Company Board Recommendation Change would be reasonably likely to violate its fiduciary obligations under applicable laws;

(iii) the Company, in the case of a Superior Proposal, shall have complied with its obligations under Section 4.3.

(iv) the Company shall have provided prior written notice to Parent at least three (3) Business Days in advance (the "Notice Period"), to the effect that the Company Board is prepared absent any revision to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, to effect a Company Board Recommendation Change and/or to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 5.4(b), which notice shall describe the basis for such Company Board Recommendation Change or termination, including, in the case of a Superior Proposal, the identity of the party making the Superior Proposal and the material terms and conditions thereof; and

(v) prior to effecting such Company Board Recommendation Change or termination, the Company shall, and shall cause their financial and legal advisors to, during the Notice Period, negotiate with Parent and its Representatives in good faith (to the extent Parent desires to negotiate) to attempt to make such adjustments in the terms and conditions of this Agreement proposed by Parent so as to obviate the need for the Company Board to make a Company Board Recommendation Change; provided, that if such Company Board Recommendation Change is effected pursuant to receipt of an Acquisition Proposal that the Company Board has determined to be a Superior Proposal, in the event of any material revisions to such Superior Proposal, the Company shall be required to deliver a new written notice to Parent and to comply with the requirements of Section 4.3 and this Section 5.4(b) with respect to such new written notice.

(c) Nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit the Company Board or any authorized committee thereof from taking and disclosing to the Company Stockholders a position contemplated by Rule 14e-2(a) under the Exchange Act or complying with the provisions of Rule 14d-9 promulgated under the Exchange Act provided that the Company shall have complied with the obligations under Section 4.3; provided, however, that any such statement(s) or disclosures made by the Company Board or any authorized committee thereof shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including the provisions of Article VII.

5.5 Anti-Takeover Laws. In the event that any Takeover Statute is or becomes applicable to any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Company, Parent and Merger Sub shall use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement may be consummated as promptly as practicable on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement and otherwise to minimize the effect of such Takeover Statute on this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.

5.6 Access. Until the earlier to occur of the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Article VII and the Effective Time:

(a) The Company shall afford Parent and its financial advisors, business consultants, legal counsel, accountants and other agents and representatives reasonable access during normal business hours, upon reasonable prior notice provided to the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to the properties, books and records and personnel of the Company as Parent may reasonably request; provided, however, that the Company may restrict or otherwise prohibit access to any documents or information to the extent that (A) any applicable law or regulation requires the Company to restrict or otherwise prohibit access to such documents or information, (B) access to such documents or information would give rise to a material risk of waiving any attorney-client privilege, work product doctrine or other applicable privilege applicable to such documents or information, or (C) access to a Contract to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or otherwise bound would violate or cause a default under, or give a third party the right to terminate or accelerate the rights under, such Contract; provided that, the Company and Parent shall cooperate in good faith to design and implement alternative procedures to enable Parent to evaluate any such documents or information without causing a violation, loss of privilege, breach or default thereunder or giving any third party a right to terminate or accelerate the rights thereunder). Any investigation conducted pursuant to the access contemplated by this Section 5.6(a) shall be conducted in a manner that does not unreasonably interfere with the conduct of the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries or create a risk of damage or destruction to any property or assets of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. Any access to the Company's properties shall be subject to the Company's reasonable security measures and insurance requirements and shall not include the right to perform invasive testing. The terms and conditions of the Confidentiality Agreement shall apply to any information obtained by Parent or any of its financial advisors, business consultants, legal counsel, accountants and other agents and representatives in connection with any investigation conducted pursuant to the access contemplated by this Section 5.6(a). No investigation pursuant to this Section 5.6(a) shall affect any representation or warranty in this Agreement of any party hereto or any condition to the obligations of the parties hereto.

(b) The Company shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, furnish to Parent, to the extent prepared by the Company in the ordinary course of business, as soon as practicable after the end of each month, a copy of the monthly internally prepared financial statements of the Company, including statements of financial condition, results of operations, and statements of cash flow, and all other information concerning its business, properties and personnel as Parent may reasonably request.

5.7 Section 16(b) Exemption. The Company shall take all actions reasonably necessary to cause the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and any other dispositions of equity securities of the Company (including derivative securities) in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement by each individual who is a director or executive officer of the Company to be exempt under Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act.

5.8 Directors' and Officers' Exculpation, Indemnification and Insurance.

(a) If the Merger is consummated, during the period commencing at the Effective Time and ending on the sixth anniversary of the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries shall (and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries to) honor and fulfill in all respects the obligations of the Company and its Subsidiaries to any of the current or former directors and officers of the Company and its Subsidiaries or any person who becomes a director or officer of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries prior to the Effective Time (the "Indemnified Persons") under any indemnification, advancement of expenses and exculpation provisions set forth in the Company's and its Subsidiary's respective certificate of incorporation and bylaws as in effect on the date of this Agreement (except as may be modified by the Certificate of Incorporation in the form attached hereto as Exhibit G). If, at any time prior to the sixth anniversary of the Effective Time, any Indemnified Person delivers to the Surviving Corporation a written notice asserting a claim for indemnification under such indemnification rights, then the claim asserted in such notice shall survive the sixth anniversary of the Effective Time until such time as such claim is fully and finally resolved. In the event of any such claim, proceeding, investigation or inquiry, the Surviving Corporation shall have the right to control the defense thereof after the Effective Time. In such case each Indemnified Person shall be entitled to retain his or her own counsel, at his her own expense, in such defense; provided, that if in the written opinion of counsel to the Indemnified Person, the Indemnified Person's use of counsel of the Surviving Corporation would be expected to give rise to a conflict of interest, the Surviving Corporation shall bear the reasonable expenses of the Indemnified Person's separate counsel. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 5.8(a), neither the Surviving Corporation nor any of its Affiliates (including Parent) shall settle or otherwise compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment or otherwise seek termination with respect to any claim, proceeding, investigation or inquiry for which indemnification may be sought by an Indemnified Person under this Agreement without such Indemnified Person's prior written consent unless such settlement, compromise, consent or termination (i) consists solely of money damages and such claim, proceeding, investigation or inquiry is finally settled, compromised, consented to or terminated or (ii) includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Person from all liability arising out of such claim, proceeding, investigation or inquiry. Without limiting the foregoing, no Indemnified Person shall have any liability for or obligations with respect to any settlement or compromise effected without his or her prior written consent.

(b) In addition, during the period commencing at the Effective Time and ending on the sixth anniversary of the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries shall (and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries to) cause the certificate of incorporation and bylaws (and other similar organizational documents) of the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries to contain provisions with respect to indemnification, exculpation and the advancement of expenses that are at least as favorable as the indemnification, exculpation and advancement of expenses provisions set forth in the Certificate of Incorporation and bylaws (or other similar organizational documents) of the Company and its Subsidiaries as of the date hereof, and during such six-year period such provisions shall not be repealed, amended or otherwise modified in any manner except as required by applicable law.

(c) During the period commencing at the Effective Time and ending on the sixth anniversary of the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall (and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to) maintain in effect the Company's current directors' and officers' liability insurance ("D&O Insurance") in respect of acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Effective Time, covering each person covered by the D&O Insurance, on terms with respect to the coverage and amounts that are equivalent to those of the D&O Insurance; provided, however, that in satisfying its obligations under this Section 5.8(c), the Surviving Corporation shall not be obligated to pay annual premiums in excess of two hundred percent (200%) of the amount paid by the Company for coverage for its last full fiscal year (such two hundred percent (200%) amount, the "Maximum Annual Premium") (which premiums the Company represents and warrants to be as set forth in Section 5.8(c) of the Company Disclosure Schedule); provided, however, that that if the annual premiums of such insurance coverage exceed such amount, the Surviving Corporation shall be obligated to obtain a policy for such year with the greatest coverage available for a cost not exceeding the Maximum Annual Premium. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company may, and at Parent's request shall, purchase a six-year "tail" prepaid policy on the D&O Insurance at a cost per year covered for such tail policy not to exceed the Maximum Annual Premium. In the event that the Company elects to purchase such a "tail" policy prior to the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall (and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to) maintain such "tail" policy in full force and effect and continue to honor their respective obligations thereunder, in lieu of all other obligations of the Surviving Corporation (and Parent) under the first sentence of this Section 5.8(c) for so long as such "tail" policy shall be maintained in full force and effect.

(d) If the Surviving Corporation (or Parent) or any of its successors or assigns shall (i) consolidate with or merge into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger, or (ii) transfer all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, proper provisions shall be made so that the successors and assigns of the Surviving Corporation (or Parent) shall assume all of the obligations of the Surviving Corporation (or Parent) set forth in this Section 5.8.

(e) The obligations set forth in this Section 5.8 shall not be terminated, amended or otherwise modified in any manner that adversely affects any Indemnified Person (or any other person who is a beneficiary under the D&O Insurance or the "tail" policy referred to in Section 5.8(c) (and their heirs and representatives)) without the prior written consent of such affected Indemnified Person or other person who is a beneficiary under the D&O Insurance or the "tail" policy referred to in Section 5.8(c) (and their heirs and representatives). Each of the Indemnified Persons or other persons who are beneficiaries under the D&O Insurance or the "tail" policy referred to in Section 5.8(c) (and their heirs and representatives) are intended to be third party beneficiaries of this Section 5.8, with full rights of enforcement against the Surviving Corporation (and Parent) as if a party thereto. The rights of the Indemnified Persons (and other persons who are beneficiaries under the D&O Insurance or the "tail" policy referred to in Section 5.8(c) (and their heirs and representatives)) under this Section 5.8 shall be in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other rights that such persons may have under the charters, bylaws or other equivalent organizational documents, any and all indemnification agreements of or entered into by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or applicable law (whether at law or in equity).

(f) Nothing in this Agreement is intended to, shall be construed to or shall release, waive or impair any rights to directors' and officers' insurance claims under any policy that is or has been in existence with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for any of their respective directors, officers or other employees, it being understood and agreed that the indemnification provided for in this Section 5.8 is not prior to or in substitution for any such claims under such policies.

5.9 Employee Matters; Termination of 401(k) Plans.

(a) Employee Matters. No provision of this Agreement shall be deemed to (i) guarantee employment for any period of time for, or preclude the ability of Parent or the Surviving Corporation or any of their Affiliates to terminate, any Continuing Employee at any time and for any or no reason, or (ii) require Parent or the Surviving Corporation to continue any Employee Plan or prevent the amendment, modification or termination thereof after the Effective Time, or (iii) create any third-party beneficiary rights or obligations in any Person (including any Continuing Employee or any dependent or beneficiary thereof) other than the parties to this Agreement.

(b) Termination of 401(k) Plans. Effective as of no later than the day immediately preceding the Closing Date, the Company shall terminate any and all group severance, group separation or group salary continuation plans, programs or arrangements and any and all Employee Plans intended to include a Code Section 401(k) arrangement (each such Employee Plan intended to include a Code Section 401(k) arrangement, a "Company 401(k) Plan") (unless Parent provides written notice to the Company that such plans shall not be terminated). Unless Parent provides such written notice to the Company, no later than two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall provide Parent with evidence that such Employee Plans have been terminated (effective as of no later than the day immediately preceding the Closing Date) pursuant to resolutions of the Board of Directors of the Company or such Subsidiary, as the case may be. The form and substance of such resolutions shall be subject to review and approval of Parent. The Company also shall take such other actions in furtherance of terminating such Employee Plans as Parent may reasonably require. In the event that termination of a Company 401(k) Plan would reasonably be anticipated to trigger liquidation charges, surrender charges or other fees ("Company 401(k) Plan Termination Fees"), then such Company 401(k) Plan Termination Fees shall be the responsibility of the Company, and the Company shall take such actions as are necessary to reasonably estimate the amount of such Company 401(k) Plan Termination Fees and provide such estimate in writing to Parent prior to the Closing Date.

5.10 Obligations of Merger Sub. Parent shall take all action necessary to cause Merger Sub and the Surviving Corporation to perform their respective obligations under this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement.

5.11 Notification of Certain Matters.

(a) At all times during the period commencing with the execution and delivery of this Agreement and continuing until the earlier to occur of the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Article VII and the Effective Time, the Company shall give prompt notice to Parent upon becoming aware that any representation made by it in this Agreement has become untrue or inaccurate, or of any failure of the Company to comply with or satisfy any covenant, condition or agreement to be complied with or satisfied by it under this Agreement, in each case such that it would result in a failure of the conditions set forth in Section 6.2(a) or Section 6.2(b); provided, however, that no such notification shall affect or be deemed to modify any representations or warranty of the Company set forth in this Agreement or the conditions to the obligations of Parent and Merger Sub to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the remedies available to the parties hereunder; and provided, further, that the terms and conditions of the Confidentiality Agreement shall apply to any information provided to Parent pursuant to this Section 5.11(a).

(b) At all times during the period commencing with the execution and delivery of this Agreement and continuing until the earlier to occur of the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Article VIII and the Effective Time, Parent shall give prompt notice to the Company upon becoming aware that any representation or warranty made by Parent or Merger Sub in this Agreement has become untrue or inaccurate, or of any failure of Parent or Merger Sub to comply with or satisfy any covenant, condition or agreement to be complied with or satisfied by it under this Agreement, in each case such that it would result in a failure of the conditions set forth in Section 6.3(a) or Section 6.3(b); provided, however, that no such notification shall affect or be deemed to modify any representation or warranty of Parent or Merger Sub set forth in this Agreement or the conditions to the obligations of the Company to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the remedies available to the parties hereunder; and provided further, that the terms and conditions of the Confidentiality Agreement shall apply to any information provided to the Company pursuant to this Section 5.11(b).

5.12 Public Statements and Disclosure. Neither the Company, on the one hand, nor Parent and Merger Sub, on the other hand, shall issue any public release or make any public announcement or disclosure concerning this Agreement or the Merger without the prior written consent of the other party(ies) (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), except as such release, announcement or disclosure may be required by applicable law or the rules or regulations of any applicable securities exchange or regulatory or Governmental Authority to which the relevant party is subject or submits, wherever situated, in which case the party required to make the release or announcement shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to allow the other party(ies) hereto reasonable time to comment on such release or announcement in advance of such issuance (it being understood that the final form and content of any such release or announcement, as well as the timing of any such release or announcement, shall be at the final discretion of the disclosing party); provided, however, that the restrictions set forth in this Section 5.12 shall not apply to any release, announcement or disclosure made or proposed to be made by the Company pursuant to Section 5.4.

5.13 Company Stockholder, Director and Management Arrangements. Except to the extent expressly authorized by the Company Board or any authorized committee thereof in advance, prior to the Effective Time, none of Parent, Merger Sub or any of their respective Affiliates shall enter into any Contract, and none of Parent, Merger Sub or any of their respective Affiliates shall make or enter into any formal or informal arrangements or other understandings (whether or not binding), with any Company Stockholder, or any director or officer of the Company, relating (i) to this Agreement, the Merger or any other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including as to any investment to be made in, or contributions to be made to, Parent or Merger Sub, or (ii) to the Surviving Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries, businesses or operations (including as to continuing employment) from and after the Closing.
