AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER dated as of July 31, 2007 (this “Agreement”) among SUMITOMO CHEMICAL CO., LTD., a Japanese corporation (“Parent”), ROSY FUTURE, INC., a Delaware corporation (“Sub”), and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent, and CAMBRIDGE DISPLAY TECHNOLOGY, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”).

WHEREAS the respective Boards of Directors of Parent, Sub and the Company have approved the acquisition of the Company by Parent on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement;

WHEREAS the respective Boards of Directors of Parent, Sub and the Company have approved the merger (the “Merger”) of Sub with and into the Company on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, whereby each issued share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company (the “Company Common Stock”) not beneficially owned by Parent, Sub or the Company shall be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration (as defined in Section 2.01(c)) as provided herein;

WHEREAS simultaneously with the execution and delivery of this Agreement Parent and certain stockholders of the Company (the “Principal Company Stockholders”) are entering into several support agreements (the “Support Agreements” and, together with this Agreement, the “Transaction Agreements”) pursuant to which the Principal Company Stockholders will agree (on the terms and subject to the conditions therein set forth) to approve, and take other specified actions in furtherance of the Merger;

WHEREAS Parent, Sub and the Company desire to make certain representations, warranties, covenants and agreements in connection with the Merger and also to prescribe various conditions to the Merger.

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

THE MERGER

Section 1.01 The Merger. On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, and in accordance with the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”), Sub shall be merged with and into the Company at the Effective Time. At the Effective Time, the separate corporate existence of Sub shall cease and the Company shall continue as the surviving corporation (the “Surviving Corporation”) of the Merger.

Section 1.02 Closing. The closing (the “Closing”) of the Merger shall take place at the offices of Pillsbury ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ LLP, ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ at 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the first business day following the satisfaction (or, to the extent permitted by Law, waiver by all parties) of the conditions set forth in Section 7.01, or, if on such day any condition set forth in Section 7.02 or 7.03 has not been satisfied (or, to the extent permitted by Law, waived by the party or parties entitled to the benefits thereof), as soon as practicable after all the conditions set forth in Article VII have been satisfied (or, to the extent

permitted by Law, waived by the parties entitled to the benefits thereof), or at such other place, time and date as shall be agreed in writing between Parent and the Company. The date on which the Closing occurs is referred to in this Agreement as the “Closing Date”.

Section 1.03 Effective Time. Prior to the Closing, the Company shall prepare, and on the Closing Date or as soon as practicable thereafter the Company shall file with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, a certificate of merger or other appropriate documents (in any such case, the “Certificate of Merger”) executed in accordance with the relevant provisions of the DGCL and shall make all other filings or recordings required under the DGCL. The Merger shall become effective at such time as the Certificate of Merger is duly filed with such Secretary of State, or at such other time as Parent and the Company shall agree and specify in the Certificate of Merger (the date and time the Merger becomes effective being the “Effective Time”).

Section 1.04 Effects. The Merger shall have the effects set forth in Section 259 of the DGCL. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and subject thereto, at the Effective Time all the property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of the Company and Sub shall be vested in the Surviving Corporation, and all debts, liabilities and duties of the Company and Sub shall become the debts, liabilities and duties of the Surviving Corporation.

Section 1.05 Certificate of Incorporation and By-laws. (a) The Certificate of Incorporation of the Surviving Corporation shall be amended at the Effective Time to be the same as the certificate of incorporation of the Sub, except that the corporate name of the Company shall remain the corporate name of the Surviving Corporation, and, as so amended, such Certificate of Incorporation shall be the Certificate of Incorporation of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter changed or amended as provided therein or by applicable Law.

(b) The by-laws of Sub as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the by-laws of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter changed or amended as provided therein or by applicable Law.

Section 1.06 Directors. The directors of Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the directors of the Surviving Corporation, until the earlier of their resignation or removal or until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified, as the case may be.

Section 1.07 Officers. The officers of the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the officers of the Surviving Corporation, until the earlier of their resignation or removal or until their respective successors are duly elected or appointed and qualified, as the case may be.

ARTICLE II

EFFECT ON THE CAPITAL STOCK OF THE

CONSTITUENT CORPORATIONS; EXCHANGE OF CERTIFICATES

Section 2.01 Effect on Capital Stock. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder of any shares of Company Common Stock or any shares of capital stock of Sub:

(a) Capital Stock of Sub. Each issued and outstanding share of capital stock of Sub shall be converted into and become one fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Surviving Corporation.

(b) Cancellation of Treasury Stock and Parent-Owned Stock. Each share of Company Common Stock that is owned by the Company, Parent or Sub, or any subsidiary of any of the foregoing, shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist, and no consideration shall be delivered or deliverable in exchange therefor.

(c) Conversion of Company Common Stock. (1) Subject to Sections 2.01(b) and 2.01(d), each issued share of Company Common Stock shall be converted into the right to receive $12.00 in cash.

(2) The cash payable upon the conversion of shares of Company Common Stock pursuant to this Section 2.01(c) is referred to collectively as the “Merger Consideration”. As of the Effective Time, all such shares of Company Common Stock shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist, and each holder of a certificate representing any such shares of Company Common Stock shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive Merger Consideration upon surrender of such certificate in accordance with Section 2.02, without interest.

(d) Appraisal Rights. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, shares (“Appraisal Shares”) of Company Common Stock that are outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and that are held by any person who is entitled to demand and properly demands appraisal of such Appraisal Shares pursuant to, and who complies in all respects with, Section 262 of the DGCL (“Section 262”) shall not be converted into Merger Consideration as provided in Section 2.01(c), but rather the holders of Appraisal Shares shall be entitled to payment of the fair market value of such Appraisal Shares in accordance with Section 262; provided, however, that if any such holder shall fail to perfect or otherwise shall waive, withdraw or lose the right to appraisal under Section 262, then the right of such holder to be paid the fair value of such holder’s Appraisal Shares shall cease and such Appraisal Shares shall be deemed to have been converted as of the Effective Time into, and to have become exchangeable solely for the right to receive, Merger Consideration as provided in Section 2.01(c). The Company shall serve prompt notice to Parent of any demands received by the Company for appraisal of any shares of Company Common Stock, and Parent shall have the right to participate in and direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demands. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall not, without the prior written consent of Parent, make any payment with respect to, or settle or offer to settle, any such demands, or agree to do any of the foregoing.

Section 2.02 Exchange of Certificates. (a) Paying Agent. Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall select a bank or trust company (which shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company) to act as paying agent (the “Paying Agent”) for the payment of the Merger Consideration upon surrender of certificates representing Company Common Stock. Sub shall pay all charges and expenses, including those of the Paying Agent, in connection with the exchange of Company Common Stock for Merger Consideration. Parent shall take all steps necessary to enable and cause the Surviving Corporation to provide to the Paying Agent on a timely basis, as and when needed after the Effective Time, cash necessary to pay for the shares of Company Common Stock converted into the right to receive cash pursuant to Section 2.01(c) (such cash being hereinafter referred to as the “Exchange Fund”).

(b) Exchange Procedure. As soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time, the Paying Agent shall mail to each holder of record of a certificate or certificates (the “Certificates”) that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding shares of Company Common Stock whose shares were converted into the right to receive Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.01, (i) 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 delivery of the Certificates to the Paying 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 Merger Consideration. Upon surrender of a Certificate for cancellation to the Paying Agent or to such other agent or agents as may be appointed by Parent, together with such letter of transmittal, duly executed, and such other documents as may reasonably be required by the Paying Agent, the holder of such Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor the amount of cash into which the shares of Company Common Stock theretofore represented by such Certificate shall have been converted pursuant to Section 2.01, and the Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be canceled. In the event of a transfer of ownership of Company Common Stock that is not registered in the transfer records of the Company, payment may be made to a person other than the person in whose name the Certificate so surrendered is registered, if such Certificate shall be properly endorsed or otherwise be in proper form for transfer and the person requesting such payment shall pay any transfer or other taxes required by reason of the payment to a person other than the registered holder of such Certificate or establish to the satisfaction of Parent that such tax has been paid or is not applicable. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 2.02, each Certificate shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive upon such surrender the amount of cash, without interest, into which the shares of Company Common Stock theretofore represented by such Certificate have been converted pursuant to Section 2.01. No interest shall be paid or accrue on the cash payable upon surrender of any Certificate.

(c) No Further Ownership Rights in Company Common Stock. The Merger Consideration paid in accordance with the terms of this Article II upon conversion of any shares of Company Common Stock shall be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such shares of Company Common Stock, subject, however, to the Surviving Corporation’s obligation to pay any dividends or make any other distributions with a record date prior to the Effective Time that may have been declared or made by the Company on such shares

of Company Common Stock in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or prior to the date of this Agreement and which remain unpaid at the Effective Time, and after the Effective Time there shall be no further registration of transfers on the stock transfer books of the Surviving Corporation of shares of Company Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, any certificates formerly representing shares of Company Common Stock are presented to the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent for any reason, they shall be canceled and exchanged as provided in this Article II.

(d) Termination of Exchange Fund. Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains undistributed to the holders of Company Common Stock for six months after the Effective Time shall be delivered to the Surviving Corporation, upon demand, and any holder of Company Common Stock who has not theretofore complied with this Article II shall thereafter look only to the Surviving Corporation for payment of its claim for Merger Consideration.

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

(f) Investment of Exchange Fund. The Paying Agent shall invest any cash included in the Exchange Fund, as directed by Parent, on a daily basis. Any interest and other income resulting from such investments shall be paid to Parent.

(g) Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. In the event that any Certificates shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, the Paying 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 Merger Consideration; provided, however; that Parent may, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the payment of the Merger Consideration, require such owner of a lost, stolen or destroyed Certificates to deliver a bond in such sum as it may reasonably direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against Parent, the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent with respect to the Certificates alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.

Section 2.03 Warrants. The warrants issued in August 2000 have an adjusted per share exercise price greater than the per share Merger Consideration and will expire in accordance with their terms prior to the Effective Time. The warrants issued in December 2005 (together with the August 2000 warrants, the “Warrants”) have a per share exercise price equal to the per share Merger Consideration and will by their terms, upon exercise of such December 2005 warrants, confer upon their holders after the Effective Time the right to receive the aggregate amount of Merger Consideration payable with respect to the aggregate number of shares of Company Common Stock for which said December 2005 warrants are exercisable for immediately prior to the Effective Time. It is understood and agreed that the aggregate amount of Merger Consideration payable pursuant to the December 2005 warrants is $0.00.

Section 2.04 Withholding Rights. Parent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable to any holder of Company Common Stock pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as may be required to be deducted and withheld with respect to the making of such payment under the Code, or under any provision of U.S. Federal, state, local or foreign tax Law.

There are not any bonds, debentures, notes or other indebtedness of the Company having the right to vote (or convertible into, or exchangeable for, securities having the right to vote) on any matters on which holders of Company Common Stock may vote (“Voting Company Debt”). Except as set forth above or in the Company Disclosure Letter, as of the date of this Agreement, there are not any options, warrants, rights, convertible or exchangeable securities, “phantom” stock rights, stock appreciation rights, stock-based performance units, commitments, Contracts, arrangements or undertakings of any kind to which the Company or any Company Subsidiary is a party or by which any of them is bound (i) obligating the Company or any Company Subsidiary to issue, deliver or sell, or cause to be issued, delivered or sold, additional shares of capital stock or other equity interests in, or any security convertible or exercisable for or exchangeable into any capital stock of or other equity interest in, the Company or of any Company Subsidiary or any Voting Company Debt, (ii) obligating the Company or any Company Subsidiary to issue, grant, extend or enter into any such option, warrant, call, right, security, commitment, Contract, arrangement or undertaking or (iii) that give any person the right to receive any economic benefit or right similar to or derived from the economic benefits and rights occurring to holders of Company Common Stock. As of the date of this Agreement, there are not any outstanding contractual obligations of the Company or any Company Subsidiary to repurchase, redeem or otherwise acquire any shares of capital stock of the Company or any Company Subsidiary.

Section 3.04 Authority; Execution and Delivery; Enforceability. (a) The Company has all requisite corporate power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Transactions”). The execution and delivery by the Company of this Agreement and the consummation by the Company of the Transactions have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Company, subject, in the case of the Merger, to receipt of the Company Stockholder Approval. The Company has duly executed and delivered this Agreement, and this Agreement

constitutes its legal, valid and binding obligation, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium or other similar laws relating to creditors’ rights and general principles of equity.

(b) The Board of Directors of the Company (the “Company Board”), at a meeting duly called and held, duly and unanimously adopted resolutions (i) approving this Agreement, the Merger and the Transactions, (ii) determining that the terms of the Merger and the Transactions are fair to and in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders, (iii) recommending that the Company’s stockholders adopt this Agreement and (iv) declaring that this Agreement is advisable. Such resolutions are sufficient to render inapplicable to Parent and Sub and this Agreement and the Transactions (i) the provisions of Section 203 of the DGCL and (ii) the provisions of Article IX of the Company Charter. To the Company’s knowledge, no other state takeover statute or similar statute or regulation applies or purports to apply to the Company with respect to this Agreement, the Merger or any other Transaction.

(c) The only vote of holders of any class or series of Company Common Stock necessary to approve and adopt this Agreement and the Merger is the adoption of this Agreement by the holders of a majority of the outstanding Company Common Stock (the “Company Stockholder Approval”). The affirmative vote of the holders of Company Common Stock, or any of them, is not necessary to consummate any Transaction other than the Merger.

Section 3.05 No Conflicts; Consents. (a) Except as set forth in the Company Disclosure Letter, the execution and delivery by the Company of this Agreement does not, and the consummation of the Merger and the Transactions and compliance with the terms hereof will not, conflict with, or result in any violation of or default (with or without notice or lapse of time, or both) under, or give rise to a right of termination, cancellation or acceleration of any obligation or to loss of a material benefit under, or to increased, additional, accelerated or guaranteed rights or entitlements of any person under, or result in the creation of any Lien upon any of the properties or assets of the Company or any Company Subsidiary under, any provision of (i) the Company Charter, the Company By-laws or the comparable charter or organizational documents of any Company Subsidiary, (ii) any contract, lease, license, indenture, note, bond, agreement, permit, concession, franchise or other instrument (a “Contract”) to which the Company or any Company Subsidiary is a party or by which any of their respective properties or assets is bound or (iii) subject to the filings and other matters referred to in Section 3.05(b), any judgment, order or decree (“Judgment”) or statute, law (including common law), ordinance, rule or regulation (“Law”) applicable to the Company or any Company Subsidiary or their respective properties or assets, other than, in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) above, any such items that, individually or in the aggregate, have not had and are not expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect.

(b) No consent, approval, license, permit, order or authorization (“Consent”) of, or registration, declaration or filing with, or permit from, any Federal, state, local or foreign government or any court of competent jurisdiction, administrative agency or commission or other governmental authority or instrumentality, domestic or foreign (a “Governmental Entity”) is required to be obtained or made by or with respect to the Company or any Company Subsidiary in connection with the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement or the consummation of the Transactions, other than (i) compliance with and filings under (A) the

▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇▇ Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (the “HSR Act”) and (B) Council Regulation (EC) No. 139/2004 of the European Community, as amended (the “EC Merger Regulation”) and any other relevant foreign antitrust authority, (ii) the filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) of (A) a proxy statement relating to the adoption of this Agreement by the Company’s stockholders (the “Proxy Statement”), and (B) such reports under Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), as may be required in connection with this Agreement, the Merger and the Transactions, (iii) the filing of the Certificate of Merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware and appropriate documents with the relevant authorities of the other jurisdictions in which the Company is qualified to do business, (iv) compliance with and such filings as may be required under applicable Environmental Laws, (v) such filings as may be required in connection with the Taxes described in Section 6.09, (vi) filings under any applicable state takeover Law (vii) compliance with applicable requirements of The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC, (viii) Consents, registrations, declarations filings or permits that the failure to obtain would not, either individually or in the aggregate, result in a Company Material Adverse Effect and (ix) such other items (A) that may be required under the applicable Law of any foreign country, (B) required solely by reason of the participation of Parent (as opposed to any third party) in the Transactions or (C) as are set forth in the Company Disclosure Letter.

Section 3.06 SEC Documents; Undisclosed Liabilities. (a) The Company has filed all reports, schedules, forms, statements and other documents required to be filed by the Company with the SEC since December 31, 2004 (the “Company SEC Documents”).

(b) As of its respective date (or, if amended or superseded by a filing prior to the date hereof, on the date of such filing), each Company SEC Document complied in all material respects with the requirements of the Exchange Act or the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), as the case may be, and the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder applicable to such Company SEC Document, and did not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. Except to the extent that information contained in any Company SEC Document has been revised or superseded by a later filed Company SEC Document, none of the Company SEC Documents contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The consolidated financial statements of the Company included in the Company SEC Documents comply as to form in all material respects with applicable accounting requirements and the published rules and regulations of the SEC with respect thereto, at the time of such filings, have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) (except, in the case of unaudited statements, as permitted by Form 10-Q of the SEC) applied on a consistent basis during the periods involved (except as may be indicated in the notes thereto) and fairly present in all material respects the consolidated financial position of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries as of the dates thereof and the consolidated results of their operations and cash flows for the periods shown (subject, in the case of unaudited statements, to normal year-end audit adjustments).

The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Proxy Statement to be mailed to the Company’s stockholders as promptly as practicable after responding to any comments received from the SEC to their satisfaction.

(b) If the adoption of this Agreement by the Company’s stockholders is required by Law, the Company shall, as soon as practicable following the earlier of (i) notice by the SEC that they will not review the Proxy Statement or (ii) responding to any SEC comments to the Proxy Statement to their satisfaction; duly call, give notice of, convene and hold a meeting of its stockholders (the “Company Stockholders Meeting”) for the purpose of seeking the Company Stockholder Approval. The Company shall, through the Company Board, recommend to its stockholders that they give the Company Stockholder Approval, except to the extent that the Company Board shall have withdrawn or modified its approval or recommendation of this Agreement or the Merger as permitted by Section 5.02(b). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company agrees that its obligations pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 6.01(b) shall not be affected by (i) the commencement, public proposal, public disclosure or

If any material is withheld by the Company pursuant to the proviso to the preceding sentence, the Company shall inform Parent as to the general nature of what is being withheld to the extent the provision of such information will not cause the Company (or any Company Subsidiary) to violate any agreement with a third party or any applicable Law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company shall, within two business days of request therefor, provide Parent with access to the information described in Rule 14a-7(a)(2)(ii) under the Exchange Act and with access to any information to which a holder of Company Common Stock would be entitled under Section 220 of the DGCL (assuming such holder met the requirements of such section).

(b) As soon as practicable following the date of this Agreement, the Company Board (or, if appropriate, any committee administering the Company Stock Plans) shall adopt such resolutions or take such other actions as are required to adjust the terms of all outstanding Company RSUs heretofore granted under any Company Stock Plan to provide that each Company RSU outstanding (whether or not vested) shall be canceled in exchange for a cash payment (Parent shall cause such cash payment to be provided to the Company by Sub or Paying Agent) by the Company at the Effective Time of an amount equal to: (i) the Merger Consideration, multiplied by (ii) the number of shares of Company Common Stock for which such Company RSU shall not theretofore have been settled.

(c) All amounts payable pursuant to this Section 6.04 shall be subject to any required withholding of Taxes (including any income tax and Employee or Employer’s National

Insurance Tax where such tax is the responsibility of the recipient) and shall be paid without interest. The Company shall use its best efforts to obtain all consents of the holders of the Company Employee Stock Options and Company RSUs as shall be necessary to effectuate the foregoing. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, payment shall, at Parent’s request, be withheld in respect of any Company Employee Stock Option or Company RSU until all necessary consents from the affected individual are obtained.

(d) The Company Stock Plans shall terminate as of the Effective Time, and the provisions in any other Company Benefit Plan or Company Benefit Agreement providing for the issuance, transfer or grant of any capital stock of the Company or any interest in respect of any capital stock of the Company shall be deleted as of the Effective Time, and the Company shall ensure that following the Effective Time no holder of a Company Employee Stock Option or Company RSU or any participant in any Company Stock Plan or other Company Benefit Plan or Company Benefit Agreement shall have any right thereunder to acquire any capital stock of the Company or the Surviving Corporation.

(e) In this Agreement:

“Company Employee Stock Option” means any option to purchase Company Common Stock granted under any Company Stock Plan.

“Company RSU” means any restricted stock unit granted under any Company Stock Plan.

“Company Stock Plans” means the Company 2004 Stock Incentive Plan, the Company Special Bonus Plan and the Company 2000 Stock Incentive Plan.

Section 6.05 Benefit Plans. (a) For a period of two years after the Effective Time, Parent shall either (A) maintain or cause the Surviving Corporation (or in the case of a transfer of all or substantially all the assets and business of the Surviving Corporation, its successors and assigns) to maintain the Company Benefit Plans (other than plans providing for the issuance of Company Common Stock or based on the value of Company Common Stock) at the benefit levels in effect on the date of this Agreement or (B) provide or cause the Surviving Corporation (or, in such case, its successors or assigns) to provide benefits to employees (other than plans providing for the issuance of equity securities or based on the value of equity securities) of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries that, taken as a whole, are not materially less favorable in the aggregate on the date hereof to such employees. For the avoidance of doubt this Section 6.05 shall only apply to benefits that are available to the employees of the Company in general as opposed to benefits that are only available to particular individuals.

(b) From and after the Effective Time, Parent shall, and shall cause the Surviving Corporation to honor in accordance with their respective terms (as in effect on the date of this Agreement), all the Company’s employment, severance and termination agreements (including entitlement to pay in lieu of notice in the event of termination), plans and policies disclosed in the Company Disclosure Letter.

(c) With respect to any “employee pension benefit plan,” as defined in Section 3(2) of ERISA, maintained by Parent or any of its subsidiaries, for purposes, of

determining eligibility to participate and vesting, service with the Company or any Company Subsidiary shall be treated as service with Parent or any of its subsidiaries; provided, however, that such service need not be recognized to the extent that such recognition would result in any duplication of benefits.

(d) Parent shall waive, or cause to be waived, any pre-existing condition limitation under any welfare benefit plan maintained by Parent or any of its affiliates (other than the Company) in which employees of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries (and their eligible dependents) will be eligible to participate from and after the Effective Time, except to the extent that such pre-existing condition limitation would have been applicable under the comparable Company welfare benefit plan immediately prior to the Effective Time. Parent shall recognize, or cause to be recognized, the dollar amount of all expenses incurred by each Company employee (and his or her eligible dependents) during the calendar year in which the Effective Time occurs for purposes of satisfying such year’s deductible and co-payment limitations under the relevant welfare benefit plans in which they will be eligible to participate from and after the Effective Time.

(e) This Section 6.05 shall not create any rights to continued employment in favor of any Company employee.

Section 6.06 Indemnification. (a) Parent and Sub agree that all rights to indemnification for acts or omissions occurring prior to the Effective Time now existing in favor of the current or former directors, officers, employees or fiduciaries of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries (the “Indemnified Persons”) as provided in their respective certificates of incorporation or by-laws or other indemnification agreements shall be assumed by the Surviving Corporation in the Merger, without further action, at the Effective Time, and survive the Merger and shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with their terms. Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, for a period of six years after the Effective Time, cause to be maintained in effect in its charter or by-laws (or similar governing documents) provisions regarding the elimination of liability of directors, indemnification of officers, directors and employees that are no less advantageous to the Indemnified Persons as those currently contained in the Company’s certificate of incorporation and by-laws. Parent shall cause to be maintained for a period of not less than six years from the Effective Time the current directors’ and officers’ insurance and indemnification policies of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries to the extent that it provides coverage for events occurring prior to the Effective Time (the “D&O Insurance”), so long as the premium therefor would not be in excess of 200% of the last annual premium paid prior to the date of this Agreement (such 200% amount, the “Maximum Premium”). If the existing D&O Insurance expires, is terminated or canceled during such six-year period, Parent shall use all reasonable efforts to cause to be obtained as much D&O Insurance as can be obtained for the remainder of such period for an annualized premium not in excess of the Maximum Premium, on terms and conditions no less advantageous than the existing D&O Insurance. The Company represents to Parent that the Maximum Premium is $750,370.

(b) The obligations of Parent and the Surviving Corporation under this Section 6.06 shall not be terminated or modified by such parties in a manner so as to adversely affect any Indemnified Person, or any other person entitled to the benefit of this Section 6.06 of

this Agreement, as the case may be, to whom this Section 6.06 applies without the consent of the affected Indemnified Person or such other person, as the case may be. If Parent or the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective successors or assigns (i) shall consolidate with or merge into any other corporation or entity and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) shall transfer all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any individual, corporation or other entity, then, and in each such case, proper provisions shall be made so that the successors and assigns of the Parent or the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, shall assume all of the obligations set forth in this Section 6.06.

(c) The provisions of this Section 6.06 are (i) intended to be for the benefit of, and will be enforceable by, each Indemnified Person and each other person entitled to the benefit of Section 6.06 of this Agreement, his or her heirs and his or her representatives and (ii) in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other rights to indemnification or contribution that any such person may have by contract or otherwise. It is the parties’ intention that indemnification be available hereunder in accordance with, and subject to the limitations of, this Section 6.06 for any losses arising out of a breach of any particular representation, warranty or covenant made to a party regardless of the claimant’s actual or constructive knowledge of such breach or such losses or of any effect relating to such breach or such losses.

Section 6.07 Fees and Expenses. (a) Except as provided below, all fees and expenses incurred in connection with the Merger and the Transactions shall be paid by the party incurring such fees or expenses, whether or not the Merger is consummated.

(b) The Company shall pay to Parent a fee of $11,245,112 if: (i) the Company terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.01(e); (ii) Parent terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.01(d)(i) or 8.01(d)(ii); or (iii) this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 8.01(c) or 8.01(d)(iii) and within one year of such termination the Company enters into a definitive agreement to consummate, or consummates, a Change of Control Transaction. Any fee due under this Section 6.07(b) shall be paid by wire transfer of same-day funds on the date of termination of this Agreement (except that in the case of termination pursuant to clause (iii) above such payment shall be made on the date of execution of such definitive agreement or, if earlier, consummation of such Change of Control Transaction).

(c) If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Sections 8.01(c) or 8.01(d)(iii), the Company shall reimburse Parent and Sub for all their out-of-pocket expenses in the amount of $5,000,000 in connection with this Agreement, the Merger and the Transactions. $1,000,000 of such reimbursement shall be paid by wire transfer of same-day funds on the date of termination of this Agreement. The remaining balance of $4,000,000 plus simple interest on such outstanding balance at a rate of five (5) percent per annum shall be paid no later than fifteen months after such termination. In the event the Company is required to pay a fee pursuant to Section 6.07(b)(iii), any amounts paid pursuant to this paragraph (other than interest) shall serve as a credit against such fee payment.

(d) The Company shall reimburse Parent and Sub for all their expenses actually incurred not in excess of $8,000,000 (excluding any amount of expenses incurred after the termination of this Agreement arising out of contingent obligations to any financial advisor of Parent) for (i) professional services including accountants, counsel and financial advisors, (ii)

actual travel and travel related costs and (iii) costs and expenses associated with any management presentations and meetings, in connection with this Agreement, the Merger and the Transactions; if this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Sections 8.01(a), 8.01(b)(i) or 8.01(b)(iii), and, in each case, within one year of such termination the Company enters into a definitive agreement to consummate, or consummates, the transactions contemplated by a Change of Control Transaction. Such reimbursement shall be made on the date of execution of such definitive agreement or, if earlier, consummation of such Change of Control Transaction.

Section 6.08 Public Announcements. Parent and Sub, on the one hand, and the Company, on the other hand, shall consult with each other before issuing, and provide each other the opportunity to review and comment upon, any press release or other public statements with respect to the Merger and the Transactions and shall not issue any such press release or make any such public statement prior to such consultation, except as may be required by applicable Law, court process or by obligations pursuant to any listing agreement with any national securities exchange.

Section 6.09 Transfer Taxes. All stock transfer, real estate transfer, documentary, stamp, recording and other similar Taxes (including interest, penalties and additions to any such Taxes) (“Transfer Taxes”) incurred in connection with the Merger or the Transactions shall be paid by either Sub or the Surviving Corporation, and the Company shall cooperate with Sub and Parent in preparing, executing and filing any Tax Returns with respect to such Transfer Taxes.

Section 6.10 Stockholder Litigation. The Company shall give Parent the reasonable opportunity to participate in the defense or settlement of any stockholder litigation against the Company and its directors relating to the Merger and the Transactions; provided, however, that no such settlement shall be agreed to without Parent’s consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.

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

(b) by either Parent or the Company:

(i) if the Merger is not consummated on or before March 31, 2008 (the “Outside Date”), unless the failure to consummate the Merger is the result of a willful and material breach of this Agreement by the party seeking to terminate this Agreement; provided, however, that the passage of such period shall be tolled for any part thereof during which any party shall be subject to a nonfinal order, decree, ruling or action restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the consummation of the Merger;

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

(iii) if, upon a vote at a duly held meeting to obtain the Company Stockholder Approval, the Company Stockholder Approval is not obtained;

(c) by Parent, if the Company breaches or fails to perform in any material respect any of its representations, warranties or covenants contained in this Agreement, which breach or failure to perform (i) would give rise to the failure of a condition set forth in Section 7.02(a) or 7.02(b), and (ii) cannot be or has not been cured within 30 days after the giving of written notice to the Company of such breach (provided that Parent is not then in willful and material breach of any representation, warranty or covenant contained in this Agreement);

(d) by Parent:

(i) if the Company Board or any committee thereof withdraws or modifies, in a manner adverse to Parent or Sub, or proposes to withdraw or modify,(in each case, regardless whether or not such proposal is delivered pursuant to Section 8.05(b)) in a manner adverse to Parent or Sub, its approval or recommendation of this Agreement or the Merger, fails to recommend to the Company’s stockholders that they give the Company Stockholder Approval or approves or recommends, or proposes to approve or recommend, any Company Takeover Proposal;

(ii) if the Company Board fails to reaffirm unconditionally its recommendation to the Company’s stockholders that they give the Company Stockholder Approval within five (5) business days of Parent’s written request to do so (which request may be made at any time that a Company Takeover Proposal is pending, which public reaffirmation must also include the unconditional rejection of such Company Takeover Proposal); or

(iii) if (A) the Company or any of its officers, directors, employees, representatives or agents takes any of the actions that are prohibited by Section 5.02 but for the exceptions therein allowing certain actions to be taken pursuant to the proviso in the first sentence of Section 5.02(a) or (B) the Company gives Parent the notification contemplated by Section 8.05(b)(iii);

(e) by the Company in accordance with Section 8.05(b); provided, however, that the Company shall have complied with all provisions thereof, including the notice provisions therein; or

(f) by the Company, if the Parent or Sub breaches or fails to perform in any material respect any of its representations, warranties or covenants contained in this Agreement, which breach or failure to perform (i) would give rise to the failure of a condition set forth in Section 7.03(a) or 7.03(b), and (ii) cannot be or has not been cured within 30 days after the giving of written notice to Parent or Sub of such breach (provided that the Company is not then in willful and material breach of any representation, warranty or covenant contained in this Agreement).

Section 8.02 Effect of Termination. In the event of termination of this Agreement by either the Company or Parent as provided in Section 8.01, this Agreement shall forthwith become void and have no effect, without any liability or obligation on the part of Parent, Sub or the Company, other than Section 3.17, Section 4.06, the last sentence of Section 6.02, Section 6.07, this Section 8.02 and Article IX, which provisions shall survive such termination, and except to the extent that such termination results from the willful and material breach by a party of any representation, warranty or covenant set forth in this Agreement.

Section 8.03 Amendment. This Agreement may be amended by the parties at any time before or after receipt of the Company Stockholder Approval; provided, however, that (i) after receipt of the Company Stockholder Approval, there shall be made no amendment that by Law requires further approval by the stockholders of the Company without the further approval of such stockholders, (ii) no amendment shall be made to this Agreement after the Effective Time and (iii) except as provided above no amendment of this Agreement by the Company shall

require the approval of the stockholders of the Company. This Agreement may not be amended except by an instrument in writing signed on behalf of each of the parties.

Section 8.04 Extension; Waiver. At any time prior to the Effective Time, the parties may (a) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the other parties, (b) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or in any document delivered pursuant to this Agreement or (c) subject to the proviso of Section 8.03, waive compliance with any of the agreements or conditions contained in this Agreement. Subject to the proviso in Section 8.03, no extension or waiver by the Company shall require the approval of the stockholders of the Company. Any agreement on the part of a party to any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed on behalf of such party. The failure of any party to this Agreement to assert any of its rights under this Agreement or otherwise shall not constitute a waiver of such rights.

Section 8.05 Procedure for Termination, Amendment, Extension or Waiver. (a) A termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.01, an amendment of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.03 or an extension or waiver pursuant to Section 8.04 shall, in order to be effective, require in the case of Parent, Sub or the Company, action by its Board of Directors or the duly authorized designee of its Board of Directors. Termination of this Agreement prior to the Effective Time shall not require the approval of the stockholders of the Company.

(b) The Company may terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.01(e) only if (i) the Company Board has received a Superior Company Proposal, (ii) in light of such Superior Company Proposal a majority of the directors of the Company shall have determined in good faith, after consultation with outside counsel, that it is necessary for the Company Board to withdraw or modify its approval or recommendation of this Agreement or the Merger in order to comply with its fiduciary duty under applicable Law, (iii) the Company has notified Parent in writing of the determinations described in clause (ii) above, (iv) at least ten business days following receipt by Parent of the notice referred to in clause (iii) above, and taking into account any revised written proposal made by Parent since receipt of the notice referred to in clause (iii) above, such Superior Company Proposal remains a Superior Company Proposal and a majority of the directors of the Company has again made the determinations referred to in clause (ii) above, (v) the Company is in compliance with Section 5.02, (vi) the Company concurrently pays the fee due under Section 6.07, (vii) the Company Board concurrently approves, and the Company concurrently enters into, a definitive agreement providing for the implementation of such Superior Company Proposal.

Section 9.04 Interpretation; Disclosure Letters. (a) When a reference is made in this Agreement to a Section, such reference shall be to a Section of this Agreement unless otherwise indicated. The table of contents and headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. Whenever the words “include”, “includes” or “including” are used in this Agreement, they shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation”. Any matter disclosed in any section of the Company Disclosure Letter shall be deemed disclosed only for the purposes of the specific Sections of this Agreement to which such section relates.

(b) For the purpose of analyzing whether any effect is “material” or constitutes a “material adverse effect” for any purpose under this Agreement, the analysis of materiality shall not be limited to a long-term perspective (and whether any effect is or might be short-term, temporary or cyclical in nature shall not be dispositive of its materiality).

(c) A reference to any US legal term for any action, remedy, method of judicial proceeding, legal document, legal status, court, official or any legal concept or thing shall in respect of any jurisdiction other than the United States be treated as a reference to the relevant analogous term in that jurisdiction.

Section 9.05 Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule or Law, or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto 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 to the end that transactions contemplated hereby are fulfilled to the extent possible.

Section 9.06 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the parties and delivered to the other parties.

Section 9.07 Entire Agreement; No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement, taken together with the Company Disclosure Letter, (a) constitutes the entire agreement, and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the parties with respect to the Transactions and (b) except for Sections 6.04, 6.05 and 6.06, are not intended to confer upon any person any rights or remedies other than the parties to this Agreement. Notwithstanding clause (b) of the immediately preceding sentence, following the Effective Time the provisions of Article II shall be enforceable by holders of Certificates.

Section 9.08 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York, regardless of the laws that might otherwise govern under applicable principles of conflicts of laws thereof.

Section 9.09 Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations under this Agreement shall be assigned, in whole or in part, by operation of law or otherwise by any of the parties without the prior written consent of the other parties, except that Sub may assign, in its sole discretion, any of or all its rights, interests and obligations under this Agreement to Parent or to any direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Parent, but no such assignment shall relieve Sub of any of its obligations under this Agreement. Any purported assignment without such consent shall be void. Subject to the preceding sentences, this Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the parties and their respective successors and assigns.

Section 9.10 Enforcement. 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 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 any New York state court, any Federal court located in the State of New York or the State of Delaware or in any Delaware state court, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. In addition, each of the parties hereto (a) consents to submit itself to the personal jurisdiction of any New York state court or, any Federal court located in the State of New York or the State of Delaware or any Delaware state court in the event any dispute arises out of this Agreement or any Transaction, (b) agrees that it will not attempt to deny or defeat such personal jurisdiction by motion or other request for leave from any such court, (c) agrees that it will not bring any action relating to this Agreement or any Transaction in any court other than any New York state court or, any Federal court sitting in the State of New York or the State of Delaware or any Delaware state court and (d) waives any right to trial by jury with respect to any action related to or arising out of this Agreement or any Transaction.

Section 9.11 Time Zone Convention. Any reference to any date in this Agreement, unless specified herein, shall be deemed to refer to Japan Time. For example, if any event takes place during the afternoon in New York, it shall be deemed to have taken place on the following day in Japan.
