This AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER (this “Agreement”), dated as of April 28, 2013, by and among Bayer HealthCare LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Parent”), ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Acquisition Company, a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned Subsidiary of Parent (“Purchaser”), and Conceptus, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”). Each of Parent, Purchaser and the Company are referred to herein as a “Party” and together as the “Parties”. All capitalized terms used in this Agreement shall have the meanings assigned to them in Article IX or as otherwise defined elsewhere in this Agreement unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.

WHEREAS, upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, Purchaser shall (and Parent shall cause Purchaser to) commence a tender offer (such tender offer, as it may be extended, amended and supplemented from time to time as permitted by this Agreement, the “Offer”) to purchase all of the outstanding shares of common stock of the Company, par value $0.003 per share (“Company Common Stock”) (which shares of Company Common Stock, are hereinafter referred to as the “Shares”) at a price of thirty-one dollars ($31.00) per Share, payable net to the holder thereof in cash, without interest (such amount, or any different amount per Share that may be paid pursuant to the Offer in accordance with the terms hereof, the “Offer Price”), subject to any withholding of Taxes required by applicable Law;

WHEREAS, following the consummation of the Offer, upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, Purchaser will be merged with and into the Company, with the Company as the surviving corporation in the merger (the “Merger”), and each issued and outstanding Share (other than Shares to be cancelled pursuant to Section 3.1(a)(ii) and other than Dissenting Shares) will be converted into the right to receive the Offer Price, payable net to the holder thereof in cash, without interest, subject to any withholding of Taxes required by applicable Law;

WHEREAS, the respective boards of directors of Parent and Purchaser have each unanimously (i) determined that it is in the best interests of their respective stockholders for Parent to acquire the Company and (ii) approved and declared advisable this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, including the Offer and the Merger, in each case on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement; and

WHEREAS, the board of directors of the Company (the “Company Board”) has (i) (a) determined that each of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, including the Offer and the Merger, is fair to, and in the best interests of, the Company and the stockholders of the Company, (b) approved and declared advisable this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, including the Offer and the Merger, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, in accordance with the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”) and (ii) resolved to recommend that the holders of Shares (collectively, the “Company Stockholders”) accept the Offer, tender their Shares to Purchaser pursuant to the Offer and, if required by the DGCL, adopt this Agreement on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the respective representations, warranties, covenants and agreements set forth in this Agreement and intending to be legally bound hereby, the Parties hereby agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

THE OFFER

Section 1.1 The Offer.

(a) Commencement of the Offer. Provided that this Agreement shall not have been terminated pursuant to Section 8.1 or Section 8.2 hereof, and that none of the events set forth in clauses (A), (B), (D), (E), (F) or (G) of Annex A shall exist or have occurred and be continuing, as promptly as practicable after the date hereof (but in no event more than ten (10) Business Days thereafter) Purchaser shall, and Parent shall cause Purchaser to, commence (within the meaning of Rule 14d-2 promulgated under the Exchange Act) the Offer to purchase all of the outstanding Shares at a price per Share equal to the Offer Price (as adjusted as provided in Section 1.1(e), if applicable) and in compliance with Rule 14d-11 promulgated under the Exchange Act and all other provisions of applicable securities Laws.

(b) Terms and Conditions of the Offer. The obligation of Purchaser to accept for payment and to pay for any Shares tendered in the Offer and not withdrawn (and the obligation of Parent to cause Purchaser to accept for payment and to pay for any such Shares) shall be subject only to the satisfaction or waiver of:

(i) the condition that, prior to the then scheduled expiration time of the Offer (the initial “Expiration Date”, and any expiration established pursuant to an extension of the Offer in accordance with Section 1.1(c), also an “Expiration Date”) there be validly tendered in accordance with the terms of the Offer (without regard to Shares tendered pursuant to guaranteed delivery procedures and not actually delivered prior to the Expiration Date) and not withdrawn a number of Shares that, together with the Shares then owned by Parent and each of the other Bayer Entities (including Purchaser), represents at least a majority of the sum of (x) the number of Shares then issued and outstanding plus (y) all Shares which the Company may be required to issue upon the vesting (including vesting solely as a result of the consummation of the Offer), conversion, settlement or exercise of all then outstanding warrants, options, benefit plans, obligations or securities convertible or exchangeable into Shares, or other rights to acquire or be issued Shares (including all then outstanding Company Options, Company Restricted Stock Units, Company Stock Appreciation Rights and Company Convertible Notes (after giving effect to any Make-Whole Fundamental Change (as defined in the Indenture), assuming the effectiveness thereof occurred on the Expiration Date)) (the “Minimum Condition”); and

(ii) the other conditions to acceptance for payment and payment for any Shares tendered in the Offer set forth in Annex A hereto.

The Minimum Condition and the other conditions to the Offer set forth in Annex A hereto are for the sole benefit of Parent and Purchaser and may be asserted by Parent and Purchaser, regardless of the circumstances giving rise to such condition, in whole or in part, at any time or from time to time, in their sole discretion, and all such conditions (except for the Minimum Condition, which may be waived by Parent and Purchaser only with the prior written consent of the Company) may be waived by Parent and Purchaser, in their sole discretion, in whole or in part at any time or from time to time, in each case subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC. Parent and Purchaser expressly reserve the right to increase the Offer Price or to waive or make any other changes to the terms and conditions of the Offer; provided, however, that unless previously approved by the Company in writing, neither Parent nor Purchaser may take any action or make any change to the terms or conditions of the Offer that:

(A) decreases the Offer Price,

(B) changes the form of consideration to be paid in the Offer,

(D) imposes conditions to the Offer in addition to the conditions to the Offer set forth in Annex A hereto or amends or modifies any of the conditions set forth in such Annex A in any manner adverse to the holders of Shares,

(E) extends the Expiration Date other than in a manner pursuant to, and in accordance with, Section 1.1(c) or

(F) amends or waives the Minimum Condition or amends any material terms of the Offer other than those specified in clauses (A) through (E) of this proviso in a manner materially adverse to the Company Stockholders as a whole.

(i) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Offer, the Offer shall initially be scheduled to expire at midnight, New York City time, on the date that is twenty (20) Business Days (for this purpose calculated in accordance with Rule 14d-1(g)(3) promulgated under the Exchange Act) after the date the Offer is commenced (within the meaning of Rule 14d-2 promulgated under the Exchange Act).

(ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing clause (i) of this Section 1.1(c) or elsewhere in this Agreement:

(A) Purchaser shall extend the Offer for the minimum period required by any Law or any rule, regulation, interpretation or position of the SEC or its staff or the Nasdaq that is applicable to the Offer; and

(B) in the event that the Minimum Condition or any of the other conditions to acceptance for payment and payment for any Shares tendered in the Offer set forth on Annex A hereto shall not have been satisfied as of the latest scheduled Expiration Date (and such conditions have not been waived by Parent and Purchaser in accordance with the terms hereof), Purchaser shall extend the Offer for successive extension periods of up to ten (10) Business Days each until the End Date, the length of such periods to be determined by Parent.

(iii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) of this Section 1.1(c) or elsewhere in this Agreement, in no event shall Purchaser be required to extend the Offer beyond the End Date.

(iv) Nothing in this Section 1.1(c) shall be deemed to impair, limit or otherwise restrict in any manner the right of Parent or the Company to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1 or Section 8.2 hereof. Purchaser shall not terminate the Offer prior to the End Date without the prior written consent of the Company, except in the event that this Agreement has been terminated by Parent or the Company in accordance with Section 8.1 or Section 8.2 hereof. If the Agreement is terminated by Parent or the Company in accordance with Section 8.1 or Section 8.2 hereof, Purchaser shall (and Parent shall cause Purchaser to) promptly (and in any event within one Business Day of such termination) irrevocably and unconditionally terminate the Offer.

(v) In accordance with Section 1.1(f) hereof, Purchaser may, in its discretion (and without the consent of the Company or any other Person), elect to provide for a subsequent offering period (and one or more consecutive extensions thereof).

(vi) In the event that the Offer is terminated or withdrawn in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and Purchaser has not accepted for payment the Shares tendered in the Offer, Purchaser shall, and shall cause any depositary acting on behalf of Purchaser to, promptly return all Shares deposited by or on behalf of Company Stockholders in compliance with Rule 14e-1(c) promulgated under the Exchange Act.

(d) Payment for Tendered Shares. Subject to the satisfaction of the Minimum Condition and the satisfaction or waiver by Parent or Purchaser of the other conditions set forth in Annex A, Purchaser shall accept for payment and pay for all Shares validly tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to the Offer promptly after the Expiration Date (as it may be extended in accordance with Section 1.1(c) hereof) and in any event in compliance with Rule 14e-1(c) promulgated under the Exchange Act. The Offer Price payable in respect of each Share validly tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to the Offer or any subsequent offering period contemplated by Section 1.1(f) hereof shall be paid net to the holder thereof in cash or immediately available funds. Parent shall provide, or cause to be provided to Purchaser, on a timely basis, the funds necessary to pay for any Shares that Purchaser accepts or is obligated to accept for payment pursuant to the Offer, and shall cause Purchaser to fulfill all of its obligations under this Agreement.

(e) Adjustments to Offer Price. The Offer Price shall be adjusted appropriately and proportionately to reflect the effect of any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend (including any dividend or distribution of securities convertible into Company Common Stock), 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 at or prior to the Acceptance Time, and such adjustment to the Offer Price shall provide to the holders of Company Common Stock the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such action; provided that nothing in this Section 1.1(e) shall be construed to permit the Company to take any action with respect to its securities that is prohibited by the terms of this Agreement.

(f) Subsequent Offering Period. Purchaser may, and the Offer Documents (as defined below) shall reserve the right of Purchaser to, provide for a subsequent offering period (within the meaning of Rule 14d-11 promulgated under the Exchange Act) in compliance with Rule 14d-11 promulgated under the Exchange Act and all other provisions of applicable securities Laws (a “Subsequent Offering Period”) of not less than three (3) nor more than twenty (20) Business Days (for this purpose calculated in accordance with Rule 14d-1(g)(3) promulgated under the Exchange Act) immediately following the Expiration Date. On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement and the Offer, Parent shall cause Purchaser to, and Purchaser shall, accept for payment and pay for all Shares validly tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to the Offer as so extended by such Subsequent Offering Period promptly after any such Shares are tendered during such Subsequent Offering Period and in any event in compliance with Rule 14e-1(c) promulgated under the Exchange Act.

(g) Schedule TO; Offer Documents. As soon as practicable on the date the Offer is commenced (within the meaning of Rule 14d-2 promulgated under the Exchange Act), Parent and Purchaser shall: (i) file with the SEC, in accordance with Rule 14d-3 under the Exchange Act, a Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO

(together with all amendments and supplements thereto, and including all exhibits thereto, the “Schedule TO”) with respect to the Offer, which shall contain as an exhibit or incorporate by reference an offer to purchase (the “Offer to Purchase”), and forms of the related letter of transmittal and summary advertisement, if any, in respect of the Offer, and such other ancillary documents and instruments pursuant to which the Offer will be made or which are required to be filed in connection with the filing of the Schedule TO (collectively, together with any supplements or amendments thereto, the “Offer Documents”); and (ii) cause the Offer Documents to be disseminated to the Company Stockholders as and to the extent required by the Exchange Act. The Company hereby consents to the inclusion in the Offer Documents of the Company Board Recommendation to the extent that the Company Board Recommendation has not been withheld, withdrawn, amended or modified in accordance with Section 6.2 hereof. The Company shall promptly furnish to Parent and Purchaser upon request all information concerning the Company that may be required by applicable securities Laws or reasonably requested for inclusion in the Schedule TO and the Offer Documents. Parent and Purchaser shall cause the Schedule TO and the Offer Documents to comply in all material respects with the Exchange Act and all other applicable Laws. Each of Parent, Purchaser and the Company shall promptly correct any information provided by it for use in the Schedule TO or the Offer Documents if and to the extent that such information shall have become false or misleading in any material respect. Parent and Purchaser shall take all steps necessary to cause the Schedule TO and the Offer Documents, as so corrected, to be filed with the SEC and the Offer Documents, as so corrected, to be disseminated to the Company Stockholders, in each case as and to the extent required by applicable Laws. Parent and Purchaser shall provide the Company and its counsel reasonable opportunity to review and comment on the Schedule TO and the Offer Documents and any amendments or supplements thereto, in any case prior to the filing thereof with the SEC, and Parent and Purchaser shall give reasonable and good faith consideration to any comment made by the Company or its counsel. Parent and Purchaser shall provide to the Company and its counsel any and all written comments (and summaries of all oral comments) that Parent, Purchaser or their counsel may receive from the SEC or its staff with respect to the Schedule TO and the Offer Documents promptly after receipt thereof, and Parent and Purchaser shall provide the Company and its counsel a reasonable opportunity to participate in the formulation of any response to any such comments of the SEC or its staff and a reasonable opportunity to participate in any discussions with the SEC or its staff concerning such comments. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Parent and Purchaser shall not be required to provide the Company the opportunity to review or comment on (or include comments proposed by the Company in) or permit the Company to participate in any discussions regarding the Schedule TO or the Offer Documents, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any comments thereon, to the extent relating to any action that may be taken by the Company or the Company Board pursuant to Section 6.2, any action that may be taken by Parent or Purchaser in connection therewith, or the reasons for any such actions.

Section 1.2 Company Actions.

(a) Schedule 14D-9. As promptly as practicable on the date the Schedule TO is first filed with the SEC, the Company shall (i) file with the SEC a Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9 (together with all amendments and supplements thereto, and including all exhibits thereto, the “Schedule 14D-9”); provided, that the Company shall not be required to file such Schedule 14D-9 prior to May 7, 2013, and (ii) cause the Schedule 14D-9 to be disseminated to the Company Stockholders with the Offer Documents as and to the extent required by the Exchange Act (and the expense of such dissemination shall be borne by Parent in connection with its dissemination of the Offer Documents). Except to the extent the Company Board shall have effected a Company Adverse Recommendation Change in compliance with Section 6.2(d), the Schedule 14D-9 shall include the Company Board Recommendation. Each of Parent and Purchaser shall promptly furnish to the Company upon request all information concerning Parent and Purchaser that may be required by applicable securities Laws or reasonably requested for inclusion in the Schedule 14D-9. The Company shall cause the Schedule 14D-9 to comply in all material respects with the Exchange Act and all other applicable Laws. Each of the Company, Parent and Purchaser shall promptly correct any information provided by it for use in the Schedule 14D-9 if and to the extent that such information shall have become false or misleading in any material respect. The Company shall take all steps necessary to cause the Schedule 14D-9, as so corrected, to be filed with the SEC and disseminated to the Company Stockholders, in each case as and to the extent required by applicable securities Laws. The Company shall provide Parent, Purchaser and their counsel reasonable opportunity to review and comment on the Schedule 14D-9 and any amendments or supplements thereto required to be filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 14D-9 promulgated under the Exchange Act, in any case prior to the filing thereof with the SEC, and the Company shall give reasonable and good faith consideration to any comment made by Parent, Purchaser or their counsel. The Company shall provide to Parent, Purchaser and their counsel any and all written comments (and summaries of all oral comments) the Company or its counsel may receive from the SEC or its staff with respect to the Schedule 14D-9 promptly after receipt thereof, and the Company shall provide Parent, Purchaser and their counsel a reasonable opportunity to participate in the formulation of any response to any such comments of the SEC or its staff and a reasonable opportunity to participate in any discussions with the SEC or its staff concerning such comments. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be required to provide Parent or Purchaser the opportunity to review or comment on (or include comments proposed by Parent or Purchaser in) or permit Parent or Purchaser to participate in any discussions regarding the Schedule 14D-9, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any comments thereon, to the extent relating to any action that may be taken by the Company or the Company Board permitted by Section 6.2, any action that may be taken by Parent or Purchaser in connection therewith, or the reasons for any such actions.

(b) Company Information. In connection with the Offer, the Company shall, or shall cause its transfer agent to, promptly following a request by Parent, furnish Parent, at Parent’s cost and expense, with such information as Parent or its Representatives may reasonably request in order to disseminate and otherwise communicate the Offer to the record and beneficial holders of Shares, including a list, as of the most recent practicable date, of the Company Stockholders, mailing labels and any available listing or computer files containing the names and addresses of all record and beneficial holders of Shares, and lists of security positions of Shares held in stock depositories (including updated lists of holders of Shares, mailing labels, listings or files of securities positions). Subject to any and all applicable Laws, and except for such steps as are necessary to disseminate the Offer Documents and any other documents necessary to consummate the Offer and the Merger, Parent and Purchaser shall (and shall cause their respective Representatives to):

(i) hold in confidence the information contained in any such lists of holders of Shares, mailing labels and listings or files of securities positions on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Confidentiality Agreement;

(ii) use such information only in connection with the Offer and the Merger; and

(iii) if (A) this Agreement shall be terminated pursuant to Section 8.1 or Section 8.2 hereof and/or (B) the Offer shall terminate without any Shares having been accepted, deliver, and cause their Representatives to deliver, to the Company (or destroy and certify such destruction in writing to the Company) any and all copies and any extracts or summaries from such information then in their possession or under their control.

Section 1.3 Top-Up Option.

(a) The Company grants to Purchaser an irrevocable option (the “Top-Up Option”), exercisable only upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 1.3, to purchase from the Company at a price per Share equal to the Offer Price up to the number of newly-issued Shares equal to the lesser of (i) the number of Shares that, when added to the number of Shares owned by Parent and each of the other Bayer Entities at the time of exercise of the Top-Up Option, constitutes one Share more than 90% of the total Shares then outstanding (determined on a fully-diluted basis (x) after giving effect to the issuance of the Shares pursuant to the exercise of the Top-Up Option, (y) including all Shares which the Company may be required to issue upon the vesting (including vesting solely as a result of the consummation of the Offer), conversion, settlement or exercise of all then outstanding warrants, options, benefit plans, obligations or securities convertible or exchangeable into Shares, or other rights to acquire or be issued Shares (including all then outstanding Company Options, Company Restricted Stock Units, Company Stock

Appreciation Rights and Company Convertible Notes (after giving effect to any Make-Whole Fundamental Change (as defined in the Indenture), assuming the effectiveness thereof occurred on the Expiration Date)), regardless of the conversion or exercise price or other terms and conditions thereof and (z) excluding from Parent’s and its Subsidiaries’ ownership, but not from the number of outstanding Shares, Shares tendered pursuant to guaranteed delivery procedures that have not yet then been delivered in settlement or satisfaction of such guarantee), and (ii) the aggregate number of Shares that the Company is authorized to issue under the Company Certificate of Incorporation but that are not issued and outstanding or reserved for issuance upon the conversion of the Company Convertible Notes at the time of exercise of the Top-Up Option. The Top-Up Option shall expire upon the earlier to occur of (i) the Effective Time and (ii) termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms.

(b) The Top-Up Option may be exercised by Purchaser on one or more occasions at any time following the Acceptance Time and prior to the earlier to occur of (x) the Effective Time and (y) the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.2 hereof; provided, however, that the Top-Up Option shall not be exercisable unless Purchaser reasonably believes that immediately after such exercise and the issuance of Shares pursuant thereto, the Short-Form Threshold shall be reached. Upon Parent’s request, the Company shall cause its transfer agent to certify in writing to Parent the number of Shares issued and outstanding as of immediately prior to the exercise of the Top-Up Option and after giving effect to the issuance of the Shares pursuant to the Top-Up Option. The aggregate purchase price payable for the Shares being purchased by Purchaser pursuant to the Top-Up Option shall be determined by multiplying the number of such Shares by the Offer Price. Such purchase price may be paid by Purchaser, at its election, either (i) entirely in cash, or (ii) in cash in an amount not less than the aggregate par value of the Shares to be issued upon exercise of the Top-Up Option plus a promissory note, with full recourse to Parent and executed jointly by Parent and Purchaser, having a principal amount equal to the balance of such purchase price, or any combination of the foregoing. Any such promissory note shall be on the following terms and shall have no other material terms: (i) the principal amount and any accrued but unpaid interest under the promissory note shall be payable upon the demand of the Company, (ii) the unpaid principal amount of the promissory note will accrue simple interest at the per annum rate of three percent (3.0%) and (iii) the promissory note may be prepaid in whole or in part at any time and from time to time, without premium or penalty or prior notice.

(c) Each time Purchaser exercises the Top-Up Option, Parent or Purchaser shall deliver to the Company a notice setting forth (i) the number of Shares that Purchaser intends to purchase pursuant to the Top-Up Option, (ii) the manner in which Purchaser intends to pay the applicable exercise price and (iii) the place and time at which the closing of the purchase of such Shares by Purchaser is to take place. At the closing of the purchase of such Shares, Purchaser shall cause to be delivered to the Company the consideration required to be delivered in exchange for such Shares in

a form provided in Section 1.3(b), and the Company shall cause to be issued to Purchaser a certificate representing such Shares (or, if the Company does not then issue Shares in certificated form, the applicable number of Shares in non-certificated book-entry form). Such certificates may include any legends that are required by applicable Law. Parent and Purchaser acknowledge that the Shares which Purchaser may acquire upon exercise of the Top-Up Option shall not be registered under the Securities Act, and shall be issued in reliance upon an exemption for transactions not involving a public offering. Parent and Purchaser agree that the Top-Up Option, and the Shares to be acquired upon exercise of the Top-Up Option, if any, are being and shall be acquired by Purchaser for the purpose of investment and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any distribution thereof (within the meaning of the Securities Act).

Section 1.4 Company Board and Company Board Committees.

(a) Composition of Company Board and Board Committees. Effective upon the initial acceptance for payment by Purchaser of Shares tendered pursuant to the Offer (the “Acceptance Time,” the use of which term herein shall not, unless the context otherwise requires, depend upon whether Parent shall exercise its rights under this Section 1.4(a)) and from time to time thereafter up to the Effective Time, subject to payment for such Shares, Parent shall be entitled to designate such number of directors on the Company Board equal to the product (rounded up to the next whole number) obtained by multiplying (i) the number of directors on the Company Board (giving effect to any increase in the number of directors pursuant to this Section 1.4(a)) and (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of Shares then beneficially owned by Parent and each of the other Bayer Entities (after giving effect to the Shares purchased pursuant to the Offer and, if the Top-Up Option is exercised, the Shares purchased upon the exercise of the Top-Up Option), and the denominator of which is the total number of then outstanding Shares, and Parent shall be entitled to have such designees be elected or appointed to such classes of the Company Board so as to be as evenly distributed as possible among the three classes of directors on the Company Board. Promptly following a request by Parent, the Company and the Company Board shall cause the individuals so designated by Parent to be elected or appointed to the Company Board, including by filling vacancies, by increasing the size of the Company Board (and amending the Company Bylaws in order to promptly effect such increase), and by seeking and accepting or otherwise securing the resignations of such number of then incumbent directors as is necessary to enable the individuals so designated by Parent to be elected or appointed to the Company Board (the date on which the majority of the Company’s directors are designees of Parent that have been effectively elected or appointed to the Company Board in accordance herewith, the “Board Appointment Date”). From time to time after the Acceptance Time, subject to Section 1.4(c), following a request by Parent, the Company shall take all action necessary to cause the individuals so designated by Parent to constitute substantially the same percentage (rounding up) of the members of each committee of the Company Board as the percentage that such designated directors

represent of the Company Board, in each case to the fullest extent permitted by all applicable Laws, including the rules of the Nasdaq. Solely for the purposes of this Section 1.4, any and all members of the Company Board immediately prior to such initial designations by Parent who remain on the Company Board after the election or appointment of such directors designated by Parent shall be referred to as “Continuing Directors.” Prior to the Effective Time, the Company Board shall always have at least three (3) Continuing Directors, each of whom shall be an “independent director” within the meaning of Listing Rule 5605(a)(2) of the Nasdaq Listing Rules and eligible to serve on the Company’s audit committee under the Exchange Act and Nasdaq rules and, at least one of whom shall be an “audit committee financial expert” as defined in Item 407(d)(5) of Regulation S-K and the instructions thereto. If the number of directors who are Continuing Directors is reduced below three (3) prior to the Effective Time, the remaining Continuing Director(s) shall be entitled to designate an individual meeting the foregoing criteria and who is not a current or former officer, director, employee or consultant of Parent or any of its Subsidiaries (a “Parent Insider”) to fill each such vacancy and who shall be deemed a Continuing Director for all purposes of this Agreement, and the Company shall cause such designee to be appointed to the Company Board. If, notwithstanding compliance with the foregoing provisions, the number of Continuing Directors is reduced to zero (0), then the other directors on the Company Board shall designate and appoint to the Company Board three (3) directors who meet the foregoing criteria and who are not Parent Insiders who shall be deemed Continuing Directors for all purposes of this Agreement. From and after the Acceptance Time and for so long as any individual who is a member of the Company Board or an officer of the Company prior to the Acceptance Time, remains a member of the Company Board or an officer of the Company, respectively, following the Acceptance Time, Parent shall ensure that each such director and officer of the Company who is not then covered by the Company’s directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies is covered by, and a beneficiary of, Parent’s directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies (or equivalent insurance policies).

(b) Required Approvals of Continuing Directors. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, in the event that Parent’s designees are elected or appointed to the Company Board prior to the Effective Time pursuant to Section 1.4(a) hereof, the prior approval of a majority of the Continuing Directors (or the approval of the sole Continuing Director if there shall only be one (1) Continuing Director then in office) shall be required in order to, prior to the Effective Time, (i) amend, modify or terminate this Agreement, or agree or consent to any amendment, modification or termination of this Agreement, in any case on behalf of the Company, (ii) extend the time for performance of, or waive, any of the obligations or other acts of Parent or Purchaser under this Agreement, (iii) exercise or waive any of the Company’s rights or remedies under this Agreement, (iv) amend or otherwise modify the Company Certificate of Incorporation or Company Bylaws, or (v) authorize or execute any Contract, or any amendment or modification of any Contract, between the Company or any Company Subsidiary, on the one hand, and

Parent, Purchaser or any of their Affiliates on the other hand, or the termination of any such agreement then in effect by the Company or any such Company Subsidiary. Following the election or appointment of Parent’s designees pursuant to Section 1.4(a), and prior to the Effective Time, any actions with respect to the enforcement of this Agreement by the Company shall be effected only by and at the direction of a majority of the Continuing Directors (or the action of the sole Continuing Director if there shall only be one (1) Continuing Director then in office), and any such authorization or direction shall constitute the authorization and direction of the full Company Board with respect thereto, and no other action on the part of the Company, including any action by any other director of the Company, shall be required to authorize, or for the Company to take, any such action. For purposes of considering any matter set forth in this Section 1.4(b), the Continuing Directors shall be permitted to meet without the presence of the other directors. The Continuing Directors shall have, and Parent shall cause the Continuing Directors to have, the authority to retain such counsel (which may include current counsel to the Company or the Company Board) and other advisors at the expense of the Company as determined by the Continuing Directors, and the authority, after the Acceptance Time but not on or after the Effective Time, to institute any action on behalf of the Company to enforce performance of this Agreement.

(c) Continued Listing. In the event that Parent’s designees are elected or appointed to the Company Board pursuant to Section 1.4(a), and without limiting Section 1.4(a), until the Effective Time, the Company Board shall have at least such number of directors as may be required by the rules of the Nasdaq or the federal securities Laws who are considered independent directors within the meaning of such Laws (“Independent Directors”); provided, however, that after the Acceptance Time, subject to payment by Purchaser for Shares tendered pursuant to the Offer, the Company shall, upon Parent’s request, take all action necessary to elect to be treated as a “Controlled Company” for purposes of Listing Rule 5615(c) of the Nasdaq rules (or any successor provision) and make all necessary filings and disclosures associated with such status; provided, further, that in the event the number of Independent Directors shall be reduced below the number of directors as may be required by such Laws for any reason whatsoever, the remaining Independent Director(s) shall be entitled to designate persons to fill such vacancies who shall be deemed to be Independent Directors for purposes of this Agreement or, if no other Independent Director then remains, the other directors shall designate such number of directors as may be required by the rules of the Nasdaq or the federal securities Laws, to fill such vacancies who shall not be Parent Insiders, and such Persons shall be deemed to be Independent Directors for purposes of this Agreement.

(d) Section 14(f) of the Exchange Act. The Company’s obligation to appoint Parent’s designees to the Company Board pursuant to Section 1.4(a) hereof shall be subject to Section 14(f) of the Exchange Act and Rule 14f-1 promulgated thereunder. The Company shall promptly take all action required pursuant to this Section 1.4 and Section 14(f) of the Exchange Act and Rule 14f-1 promulgated

thereunder in order to fulfill its obligations under this Section 1.4, and shall include in the Schedule 14D-9 such information with respect to the Company and its directors and officers as is required under Section 14(f) of the Exchange Act and Rule 14f-1 promulgated thereunder in order to fulfill its obligations under this Section 1.4. Parent shall, at least one (1) Business Day prior to the commencement of the Offer, provide to the Company in writing, and be responsible for, any information with respect to itself and its nominees, directors, officers and Affiliates, required by Section 14(f) of the Exchange Act and Rule 14f-1 promulgated thereunder. The provisions of this Section 1.4 are in addition to, and shall not limit, any right that Purchaser, Parent or any Affiliate of Purchaser or Parent may have (with respect to the election of directors or otherwise) under applicable Laws as a holder or beneficial owner of shares of Company Common Stock.

ARTICLE III

CONVERSION OF SECURITIES; EXCHANGE OF CERTIFICATES

Section 3.1 Conversion of Securities.

(a) At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Parent, Purchaser, the Company or their respective stockholders:

(i) Conversion Generally. Each Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than (i) any Shares to be cancelled pursuant to Section 3.1(a)(ii), and (ii) Dissenting Shares) shall be converted, subject to Section 3.1(b), into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to the Offer Price (the “Merger Consideration”), payable to the holder thereof, without interest, subject to any withholding Taxes required by applicable Law in accordance with Section 3.8 upon surrender of the Certificates in accordance with Section 3.2(b). At the Effective Time, all such Shares shall cease to be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled and retired and shall cease to exist, and each Certificate which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented any such Shares shall thereafter represent only the right to receive the Merger Consideration therefor.

(ii) Cancellation of Certain Shares. Each Share held by Parent or any of its Subsidiaries, including Purchaser, or in the treasury of the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be cancelled and extinguished without any conversion thereof and no payment shall be made with respect thereto.

(iii) Purchaser. Each share of common stock, par value $0.003 per share, of Purchaser issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be cancelled and converted into one (1) newly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock of the Surviving Corporation.

(b) Change in Shares. Without duplication of any adjustment made pursuant to Section 1.1(e), the Merger Consideration shall be adjusted appropriately and proportionately to reflect the effect of any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend (including any dividend or distribution of securities convertible into Company Common Stock), reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, combination, exchange of shares or other like change with respect to Company Common Stock, occurring or with a record date, on or after the date hereof and prior to the Effective Time, and such adjustment to the Merger Consideration shall provide to the holders of Company Common Stock the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such action.

Section 3.2 Exchange of Certificates.

(a) Paying Agent. At the Closing, Parent shall deposit, or shall cause to be deposited, with a bank or trust company designated by Parent and reasonably satisfactory to the Company (the “Paying Agent”), for the benefit of the holders of Shares, for exchange in accordance with this Article III, cash in U.S. dollars in an amount sufficient to pay the aggregate amount of the Merger Consideration payable in connection with the Merger (such cash, the “Exchange Fund”) pursuant to Section 3.1 in exchange for outstanding Shares. The Paying Agent shall, and Parent shall cause the Paying Agent to, deliver the Merger Consideration contemplated to be paid pursuant to Section 3.1 out of the Exchange Fund. The Exchange Fund shall be invested by the Paying Agent as directed by Parent; provided, however, that: (i) no such investment or losses thereon shall affect the Merger Consideration payable to the holders of Shares; and (ii) such investments shall be in obligations of or guaranteed by the United States of America or any agency or instrumentality thereof and backed by the full faith and credit of the United States of America, in commercial paper obligations rated A-1 or P-1 or better by ▇▇▇▇▇’▇ Investors Service, Inc. or Standard & Poor’s Corporation, respectively, or in certificates of deposit, bank repurchase agreements or banker’s acceptances of commercial banks with capital exceeding $10 billion (based on the most recent financial statements of such bank that are then publicly available). Any net profit resulting from, or interest or income produced by, such investments shall be payable to Parent, and any amounts in excess of the amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.1 shall be promptly returned to Parent. In the event that the Exchange Fund shall be insufficient to pay the aggregate Merger Consideration payable in connection with the Merger, Parent shall promptly deposit or cause to be deposited additional funds in the amount of such insufficiency. The Exchange Fund shall not be used for any other purpose.

(b) Exchange Procedures. Promptly following the Effective Time (but in no event later than three (3) Business Days following the Effective Time), Parent shall cause the Paying Agent to mail to each holder of record of a certificate or certificates which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding Shares (the “Certificates,” it being understood that any references herein to “Certificates” shall be deemed to include references to book-entry account statements relating to the ownership of Shares) and whose Shares have been converted into the right to receive Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 3.1 (i) a letter of transmittal in customary form (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon proper delivery of the Certificates to the Paying Agent and which shall include customary provisions with respect to delivery of an “agent’s message” with respect to Shares held in book-entry form) and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates in exchange for the Merger Consideration. Upon surrender of a Certificate for cancellation to the Paying Agent together with such letter of transmittal, properly completed and duly executed, and such other customary documents as may be reasonably required pursuant to such instructions (or, if Shares are held in book-entry or other uncertificated form, upon the entry through a book-entry transfer agent of the surrender of such Shares on a book-entry account statement), the holder of such Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor the Merger Consideration which such holder has the right to receive in respect of the Shares formerly represented by such Certificate, and the Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled. No interest will be paid or accrued on any Merger Consideration payable to holders of Certificates. In the event of a transfer of ownership of Shares which is not registered in the transfer records of the Company, the Merger Consideration may be issued to a transferee if the Certificate representing such Shares is presented to the Paying Agent, accompanied by all documents required to evidence and effect such transfer and by evidence that any applicable stock transfer Taxes have been paid. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 3.2, and subject to Section 3.4, each Certificate shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive upon such surrender the Merger Consideration in cash as contemplated by this Agreement, without interest thereon.

(c) Lost Certificates. If any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by Parent, the posting by such Person of a bond, in such reasonable and customary amount as Parent may direct, as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate, the Paying Agent will (subject to compliance with the exchange procedures of Section 3.2(b)), and Parent shall cause the Paying Agent to, issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate the Merger Consideration, without any interest thereon.

(d) Further Rights in Company Common Stock. All Merger Consideration paid in accordance with the terms hereof shall be deemed to have been issued in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such Shares.

(e) No Further Dividends. No dividends or other distributions with respect to capital stock of the Surviving Corporation with a record date on or after the Effective Time shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Certificates.

(f) Termination of Exchange Fund. Any portion of the Exchange Fund which remains undistributed to the holders of Company Common Stock for twelve (12) months after the Effective Time shall be delivered to Parent upon demand, and any holders of Company Common Stock who have not theretofore complied with this Article III shall thereafter look only to Parent for the Merger Consideration without any interest thereon.

(g) No Liability. None of Parent, the Company or the Surviving Corporation shall be liable to any holder of Shares for any cash from the Exchange Fund delivered to a public official pursuant to any abandoned property, escheat or similar Law.

Section 3.3 Stock Transfer Books. At the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed (after giving effect to the items contemplated by this Article III) and thereafter there shall be no further registration of transfers of Shares outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time on the records of the Company. From and after the Effective Time, the holders of Certificates shall cease to have any rights with respect to such Shares except to receive the Merger Consideration therefor and as otherwise provided herein or by Law. If, after the Effective Time, any Certificate is presented to the Surviving Corporation, Parent or the Paying Agent for transfer, it shall (subject to compliance with the exchange procedures of Section 3.2(b)) be cancelled and exchanged for the cash amount in immediately available funds to which the holder thereof is entitled pursuant to this Article III.

Section 3.4 Dissenting Shares. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, any Shares that are issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and are held by a stockholder (each, a “Dissenting Stockholder”) who is entitled to exercise, and properly exercises, appraisal rights with respect to such Shares pursuant to, and who complies in all respects with, the provisions of Section 262 of the DGCL in order to perfect such demand (collectively, the “Dissenting Shares”) shall not be converted into or exchangeable for or represent the right to receive the Merger Consideration (except as provided in this Section 3.4) and shall entitle such Dissenting Stockholder only to payment for such Dissenting Shares in accordance with and to the extent provided by Section 262 of the DGCL, unless and until such Dissenting Stockholder fails to perfect or otherwise waives, withdraws or effectively loses the right to appraisal under Section 262 of the DGCL. If any Dissenting Stockholder fails to perfect or otherwise waives, withdraws or effectively loses the right to appraisal under Section 262 of the DGCL, then as of the later of the Effective Time and the occurrence of such event, the Dissenting Shares held by such Dissenting Stockholder shall be cancelled and converted into and represent the right only to receive the Merger Consideration, without interest, pursuant to Section 3.1. The Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of Parent, voluntarily make (or cause or permit to be made on its behalf) any payment with respect to, or settle or offer to settle, or otherwise negotiate with,

any Dissenting Stockholder regarding its exercise of appraisal rights prior to the Effective Time. The Company shall give Parent prompt notice of any such demands prior to the Effective Time, and Parent shall have the right to direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to any exercise by any Company Stockholder of appraisal rights. For the avoidance of doubt, it is acknowledged and agreed that, for all purposes under Section 262 of the DGCL and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, the fair value of the Dissenting Shares shall be determined without regard to the Top-Up Option, including any Shares issued pursuant to the Top-Up Option, or any promissory note or other consideration delivered by Parent or Purchaser to the Company in payment for the Shares issued pursuant to the Top-Up Option.

Section 3.5 Treatment of Equity Awards; Company Stock Plans.

(a) Company Options and Company Stock Appreciation Rights. At the Effective Time, each outstanding Company Option and Company Stock Appreciation Right, whether vested or unvested, shall be cancelled and, in exchange therefor, Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to pay to each former holder of any such cancelled Company Option and Company Stock Appreciation Right a cash amount equal to the product, if any, of (i) the per Share Merger Consideration less any applicable exercise price per Share, and (ii) the number of Shares covered by such Company Option or Company Stock Appreciation Right, subject to reduction for any Taxes withheld pursuant to Section 3.8.

(b) Company Restricted Stock Units. At the Effective Time, each outstanding Company Restricted Stock Unit, whether or not then exercisable or vested, shall be cancelled and, in exchange therefor, Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to pay to each former holder of any such cancelled Company Restricted Stock Unit a cash amount equal to the product of (i) the per Share Merger Consideration, and (ii) the number of Shares covered by such Company Restricted Stock Unit, subject to reduction for any Taxes withheld pursuant to Section 3.8. To the extent any such cancelled Company Restricted Stock Unit is subject to a deferred payment schedule pursuant to the applicable distribution provisions of Section 409A of the Code so that such cash amount cannot be paid to the holder within such period without the holder’s incurrence of a penalty Tax and interest penalties under Section 409A of the Code, then any such cash amount otherwise payable to the holder of such cancelled Company Restricted Stock Unit will be distributed in accordance with Section 409A of the Code and the applicable Treasury Regulations thereunder.

(c) Payments through Payroll. Any payment to which an employee of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company becomes entitled pursuant Section 3.5(a) or Section 3.5(b) shall be made through the Surviving Corporation’s payroll no more than three (3) Business Days following the Effective Time.

(d) Corporate Actions. At or prior to the Effective Time, the Company, the Company Board and the compensation committee of the Company Board, as applicable, shall adopt any resolutions and take any actions which are

reasonably necessary to effectuate the provisions of this Section 3.5. The Company shall take all actions reasonably necessary to ensure that from and after the Effective Time, neither Parent nor the Surviving Company will be required to deliver to any Person any Shares or other Equity Interests of the Company, the Surviving Corporation or any other Person pursuant to or in settlement of Company Options, Company Stock Appreciation Rights, Company Restricted Stock Units or other rights with respect to Shares that are outstanding as of the Effective Time.

Section 3.6 Treatment of Employee Stock Purchase Plan. The Company shall take such action as may be necessary to (i) establish a new Purchase Date (as defined under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan), which shall be the last day of the payroll period ending as soon as reasonably practicable after the date hereof and no later than immediately prior to the Expiration Date, with respect to the Offering Period (as defined in the Employee Stock Purchase Plan) otherwise then in effect (the “Final Purchase Date”); (ii) provide that only Employees (as defined under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan) who are participants in the Employee Stock Purchase Plan as of the date hereof may participate in the Employee Stock Purchase Plan; (iii) provide that no participant in the Employee Stock Purchase Plan may increase after the date hereof the payroll deductions credited to such participant’s account under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan; (iv) provide that no further Offering Periods shall commence under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan on or following the date hereof; and (v) terminate the Employee Stock Purchase Plan as of the Final Purchase Date. Each outstanding purchase right under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan on the Final Purchase Date shall be exercised on such date for the purchase of Company Common Stock in accordance with the terms of the Employee Stock Purchase Plan.

Section 3.7 Treatment of Company Director Deferred Fee Plan. The Company shall take such action as may be necessary to terminate the Company Director Deferred Fee Plan as of immediately prior to the Closing Date and each Company Phantom Unit outstanding shall be paid out in cash in accordance with the terms of the Company Director Deferred Fee Plan.

Section 3.8 Withholding. Parent, Purchaser, the Company, the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold or cause to be deducted and withheld from any consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement, including pursuant to the Offer and Merger, such amounts as Parent, Purchaser, the Company, the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent is required to deduct and withhold under the Code, or any provision of state, local or non-United States Tax Law, with respect to the making of such payment. To the extent that amounts are so deducted and withheld and paid to the appropriate Governmental Entity in accordance with applicable law, such deducted and withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of whom such deduction and withholding was made.

ARTICLE IV

Section 4.1 Organization and Qualification.

(a) The Company is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the Laws of the State of Delaware. The Company has all requisite corporate power and authority to own, lease and operate its properties and assets and to carry on its business as presently conducted. The Company is duly qualified or licensed to do business and, where such concept is recognized, is in good standing, in each jurisdiction where the character of the properties owned, leased or operated by it or the nature of its business makes such qualification, licensing or good standing necessary.

(b) Each Subsidiary of the Company (each, a “Company Subsidiary”) is duly organized, is validly existing and, where such concept is recognized, in good standing under the Laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or organization, as the case may be, except to the extent the failure of any such Company Subsidiary to be in good standing would not have a Company Material Adverse Effect. Section 4.1(b) of the Company Disclosure Schedule contains a correct and complete list of all of the Company Subsidiaries, the ownership interest of the Company in each Company Subsidiary and the ownership interest of any other Person or Persons in each Company Subsidiary. Each Company Subsidiary has the requisite corporate or similar power and authority to own, lease and operate its properties and assets and to carry on its business as presently conducted, except where the failure to have such power or authority would not have a Company Material Adverse Effect. Each Company Subsidiary is duly qualified or licensed to do business and, where such concept is recognized, is in good standing, in each jurisdiction where the character of the properties owned, leased or operated by it or the nature of its business makes such qualification, licensing or good standing necessary, except for such failures to be so qualified, licensed or in good standing that would not have a Company Material Adverse Effect. The Company has made available to Parent prior to the date hereof complete and correct copies of the certificate of incorporation and bylaws (or similar organizational documents) of the Company and of each Company Subsidiary, each as amended to date, and each as so delivered is in full force and effect.

Section 4.2 Corporate Authority and Approval.

(a) The Company has all necessary corporate power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and, subject to obtaining any necessary Company Stockholder Approval, to perform its obligations hereunder and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, including the Offer and the Merger. The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Company and the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated hereby, including the Offer and the Merger, have been duly and validly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Company, and no other corporate proceedings on the part of the Company are necessary to authorize this Agreement or to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, other than, with respect to the Merger, (i) the Company Stockholder Approval and (ii) the filing of the Certificate of Merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware in accordance with the DGCL. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Company and, assuming this Agreement is a valid and binding obligation of Parent and Purchaser, this Agreement constitutes a valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, subject to the Enforceability Exception.

(b) Assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties of Parent and Purchaser set forth in Section 5.8, the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of shares of Company Common Stock outstanding on the record date of the Company Stockholders’ Meeting, voting together as a single class (the “Company Stockholder Approval”), is the only vote of the holders of any class or series of the Company’s Equity Interests necessary to adopt this Agreement.

(c) The Company Board has unanimously (i) resolved that this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, including the Offer and the Merger, are fair to and in the best interests of the Company and the Company Stockholders; (ii) approved and declared advisable this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, including the Offer and the Merger, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, in accordance with the requirements of the DGCL; and (iii) resolved to recommend that the holders of Shares accept the Offer, tender their Shares to Purchaser pursuant to the Offer and, if required by the DGCL, adopt this Agreement (the “Company Board Recommendation”); provided, however, that such recommendation was made subject to the understanding that it may be withheld, withdrawn, amended or modified in compliance with the terms of Section 6.2 hereof. The Company Board has determined that the consideration for the Top-Up Option Shares provided under Section 1.3 is adequate in accordance with the DGCL and otherwise taken all steps necessary such that, upon issuance and delivery in accordance with Section 1.3, the Shares issued upon exercise of the Top-Up Option shall be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

(d) The Company has taken all appropriate actions so that the restrictions on business combinations contained in Section 203 of the DGCL and any other state anti-takeover statute or regulation (collectively, “Takeover Provisions”) will

not apply with respect to or as a result of the execution of this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, including the Offer and the Merger, without any further action on the part of the Company Stockholders or the Company Board.

(e) The Company Board has received from ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇ & Co. (the “Company Financial Advisor”) its opinion, dated as of the date hereof, to the effect that, as of such date and subject to the limitations, qualifications and assumptions set forth therein, that the $31.00 per Share in cash to be paid to the holders (other than Parent and its Affiliates) of Company Common Stock pursuant to this Agreement is fair from a financial point of view to such holders.

(a) The execution and delivery by the Company of this Agreement do not, and the performance by the Company of this Agreement, the consummation by the Company of the Offer, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby and the compliance by the Company with any of the provisions of this Agreement will not, (i) assuming the Company Stockholder Approval is obtained or not required, conflict with or violate any provision of the Company Certificate of Incorporation or the Company Bylaws or any similar documents of any Company Subsidiary, (ii) assuming that all consents, approvals and authorizations described in Section 4.3(b) will have been obtained prior to the Acceptance Time and all filings and notifications described in Section 4.3(b) will have been made and any waiting periods thereunder will have terminated or expired prior to the Acceptance Time, conflict with or violate any Law or Order applicable to the Company or any Company Subsidiary or (iii) require any consent or approval under, result in any breach of or any loss of any benefit under, or constitute a default (or an event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under, or give to others any right of termination, vesting, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, or result in the creation of a Lien (other than a Permitted Encumbrance) on any property or asset of the Company or any Company Subsidiary pursuant to, any Contract to which the Company or any Company Subsidiary is a party except, with respect to clauses (ii) and (iii), for matters that would not have a Company Material Adverse Effect.

The Company shall (and shall cause the Company Subsidiaries to), and shall direct the Company Representatives to, (x) immediately cease all discussions, negotiations and activities with respect to any Acquisition Proposal, (y) to the extent permitted by applicable confidentiality agreements, immediately instruct to be returned or destroyed all confidential information provided by or on behalf of the Company to any Person in connection with a possible Acquisition Proposal, and (z) enforce (and not release, waive, amend or modify the provisions of) any confidentiality, non-solicit or non-use agreements entered into with any Person in connection with a possible Acquisition Proposal, or any standstill agreements entered into with any Person.

(i) provide information or data in response to a request therefor to a Person who has made a bona fide written Acquisition Proposal after the date of this Agreement (which Acquisition Proposal was not solicited, initiated, encouraged or facilitated in material breach of this Agreement and has not been withdrawn) if and only if, prior to providing such information and data, the Company has received from the Person so requesting such information an executed Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement, provided that the Company shall promptly, but in any event within 24 hours, make available to Parent any information and data concerning the Company or any Company Subsidiary that is provided to any Person making such Acquisition Proposal and that was not previously made available to Parent or the Parent Representatives; or

(ii) engage or participate in discussions or negotiations with the Person who has made such a bona fide written Acquisition Proposal, and waive such Person’s noncompliance with the provisions of any standstill agreement to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to permit such discussions and negotiations;

(ii) cause or permit the Company or any Company Subsidiary to enter into any Alternative Acquisition Agreement.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, at any time prior to the Acceptance Time:

(i) If the Company has received a bona fide written Acquisition Proposal (which Acquisition Proposal was not solicited, initiated, encouraged or facilitated in material breach of this Agreement) from any Person that has not been withdrawn and that the Company Board determines in good faith (based on the information then available and after consultation with its financial advisor and outside legal counsel) constitutes a Superior Proposal, (x) the Company Board may effect a Company Adverse Recommendation Change with respect to such Superior Proposal, and (y) the Company may terminate this Agreement to enter into an Alternative Acquisition Agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal if and only if:

(A) the Company shall have provided prior written notice (a “Determination Notice”), received by Parent at least four (4) Business Days in advance of taking of such action with respect to such Superior Proposal (such period, the “Notice Period”), to the effect that the Company Board has received a bona fide written Acquisition Proposal (which Acquisition Proposal was not solicited, initiated, encouraged or facilitated in material breach of this Agreement) that the Company Board has determined in good faith (based on the information then available and after consultation with its financial advisor and outside legal counsel) constitutes a Superior Proposal and, absent any

revision to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Company Board has determined to effect a Company Adverse Recommendation Change and/or to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 6.2(d), which Determination Notice shall specify the identity of the Person or group of Persons making the Acquisition Proposal and the material terms and conditions thereof and shall enclose a copy of the proposed transaction agreements with the Person or Persons making such Acquisition Proposal;

(B) prior to effecting such Company Adverse Recommendation Change or termination, the Company shall, and shall cause its financial advisor and legal counsel to, during the Notice Period, negotiate with Parent and the Parent Representatives in good faith (to the extent Parent desires to negotiate) regarding a possible amendment of this Agreement or the Offer, so that such Acquisition Proposal would cease to constitute a Superior Proposal;

(C) after the expiration of the Notice Period, the Company Board concludes in good faith, based on the information then available and after consultation with its financial advisor and outside legal counsel, and taking into account any revisions to this Agreement made or irrevocably committed to in writing by Parent, that (x) such Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal and (y) effecting a Company Adverse Recommendation Change and/or causing the Company to terminate this Agreement to enter into such Alternative Acquisition Agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal, as applicable, is necessary in order for the members of the Company Board to comply with their fiduciary duties to the Company Stockholders under applicable Law; and

(D) in the case of any termination of this Agreement to enter into an Alternative Acquisition Agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal pursuant to clause (y) of this Section 6.2(d)(i), such termination shall have been effected in accordance with Section 8.1(c)(ii), including the payment of the Company Termination Fee in accordance with Section 8.4(a)(i);

provided that, in the event of any material revisions to the financial or other material terms of an Acquisition Proposal, the Company will be required to deliver, prior to the Acceptance Time, a new Determination Notice to Parent and to comply with the requirements of this Section 6.2(d)(i) with respect to such Acquisition Proposal (provided, that the Notice Period for any subsequent notice will be shortened from four (4) Business Days to two (2) Business Days from the date of Parent’s receipt of such new Determination Notice, but only if such shortening would result in such Notice Period ending subsequent to the end of the original Notice Period).

(ii) Other than in response to an Acquisition Proposal, the Company Board may effect a Company Adverse Recommendation Change of the type described in Section 6.2(c)(i)(w) (or in Section 6.2(c)(i)(z) with respect to the authorization, commitment, resolution or agreement to take any actions with respect to an Acquisition Proposal of a type described in Section 6.2(c)(i)(w)), if and only if:

(A) an Intervening Event shall have occurred;

(B) the Company shall have provided a Determination Notice, received by Parent a period of time in advance of effecting such a Company Adverse Recommendation Change that is at least as long as the Notice Period, to the effect that an Intervening Event has occurred and that absent any revision to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Company Board has determined to effect such a Company Adverse Recommendation Change, which Determination Notice shall describe the Intervening Event and the basis for such determination in reasonable detail;

(C) prior to effecting such a Company Adverse Recommendation Change, the Company shall, and shall cause its financial advisor and legal counsel to, during the Notice Period, negotiate with Parent in good faith (to the extent Parent desires to negotiate) regarding a possible amendment of this Agreement or the Offer; and

(D) at or following the end of such Notice Period, the Company Board determines in good faith, based on the information then available and after consultation with its financial advisor and outside legal counsel, and taking into account such revisions to this Agreement made or irrevocably committed to in writing by Parent, that effecting such a Company Adverse Recommendation Change due to the Intervening Event is necessary in order for the members of the Company Board to comply with their fiduciary duties to the Company Stockholders under applicable Laws;

provided that, in the event of any material changes to the circumstances of any Intervening Event, the Company will be required to deliver, prior to the Acceptance Time, a new Determination Notice to Parent and to comply with the requirements of this Section 6.2(d)(ii) with respect to such Intervening Event (provided that the Notice Period for any subsequent notice will be shortened from four (4) Business Days to two (2) Business Days from the date of Parent’s receipt of such new Determination Notice, but only if such shortening would result in such Notice Period ending subsequent to the end of the original Notice Period).

(e) Nothing contained in this Section 6.2 shall be deemed to prohibit the Company or the Company Board or any committee thereof from (i) taking

and disclosing to its stockholders a position contemplated by Rule 14e-2(a) promulgated under the Exchange Act, or (ii) making accurate disclosure to the Company Stockholders of any factual information regarding the business, financial condition or results of operations of the Company, Parent or Purchaser or the fact that an Acquisition Proposal has been made, the identity of the party making such Acquisition Proposal or the material terms of such Acquisition Proposal (and no such disclosure shall, taken by itself, be deemed to be a Company Adverse Recommendation Change), or (iii) making any communication that is a limited to a “stop-look-and-listen” communication of the type contemplated by Rule 14d-9(f) under the Exchange Act; provided, in the case of each of clause (i) and (ii), that any such disclosure (x) reaffirms the Company Board Recommendation, without any modification or qualification thereof and (y) does not contain either an express Company Adverse Recommendation Change or any other statements by or on behalf of the Company or the Company Board that would reasonably be expected to have the same effect as a Company Adverse Recommendation Change.

(f) From the date of this Agreement until the earlier of the Acceptance Time and the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Sections 8.1 or 8.2 hereof, the Company agrees that it shall promptly (and, in any event, within 24 hours of the Company’s Knowledge of any such event) notify Parent if (i) any inquiries, expressions of interest, proposals or offers (including any modification thereto) with respect to an Acquisition Proposal are received by, (ii) in connection with any inquiry, expression of interest, proposal or offer that constitutes or would reasonably be expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal, any non-public information is requested from or (iii) in connection with the submission of an Acquisition Proposal, any discussions or negotiations are sought to be initiated or continued with, the Company, any Company Subsidiary or any Company Representative, indicating, in connection with such notice, the identity of the Person or group of Persons making such communication and the material terms and conditions thereof and thereafter shall keep Parent reasonably informed, on a substantially current basis, of any material developments or modifications to the terms of any such communication and the status of any such discussions or negotiations. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company shall (i) provide to Parent, as soon as practicable and in any event within 24 hours after the Company’s dispatch thereof, or Knowledge of receipt thereof (but in any event within one (1) Business Day of such receipt), as the case may be, copies of all written communications and materials, including any draft agreements, sent by or provided to the Company, any Company Subsidiary or any Company Representative in connection with any Acquisition Proposal and (ii) notify Parent as soon as practicable, and in any event within 24 hours, if the Company determines to begin providing information or to engage in discussions or negotiations concerning an Acquisition Proposal pursuant to Section 6.2(b).

Parent and the Company agree that any action inconsistent with the restrictions set forth in this Section 6.2 by any Representative of the Company will be deemed to be a breach of this Section 6.2 by the Company.

Subject to all applicable Laws, the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to cause the Proxy Statement to be disseminated to the Company Stockholders as promptly as reasonably practicable following the filing thereof with the SEC. The Company shall provide Parent, Purchaser and their counsel reasonable opportunity to review and comment on the Proxy Statement, and all other materials used in connection with the Company Stockholders’ Meeting that (i) constitute “proxy materials” or “solicitation materials” as those terms are used in Rules 14a-1 through 14a-17 promulgated under the Exchange Act or (ii) are otherwise used for the “solicitation” of “proxies” as those terms are defined in Rule 14a-1 promulgated under the Exchange Act, in each case prior to the filing thereof with the SEC or the dissemination thereof to Company Stockholders.

which should be set forth in an amendment or supplement to the Proxy Statement so that the Proxy Statement would not include any misstatement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact 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 Party or Parties, as the case may be, and an appropriate amendment or supplement to the Proxy Statement describing such information shall be promptly prepared and filed by the Company with the SEC and, to the extent required by applicable Law, disseminated by the Company to the Company Stockholders.

Parent shall also use commercially reasonable efforts to cause any deductibles paid by Continuing Employees under any of Company’s or its Subsidiaries’ health plans in the plan year in which Continuing Employees and their eligible dependents are transitioned to Parent’s health or similar plans to be credited towards deductibles under the health plans of Parent or any Subsidiary of Parent.

(f) The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that all provisions contained in this Section 6.10 are included for the sole benefit of the Parties hereto, and that nothing in this Agreement, whether express or implied, shall create any third-party beneficiary or other rights (i) in any other Person, including any employees or former employees of the Company or any Affiliate of the Company, any Continuing Employee, or any dependent or beneficiary thereof or (ii) to continued employment with Parent or any of its Affiliates.

From and after the Effective Time, Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall be jointly and severally liable to pay and perform in a timely manner such obligations. For a period of six (6) years after the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Surviving

(b) Prior to the Effective Time the Company shall, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Laws, indemnify and hold harmless, and, for a period of six (6) years from and after the Effective Time, Parent shall and shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Laws, indemnify and hold harmless, each present and former director or officer of Company and the Company Subsidiaries and each such Person who served at the request of the Company or any Company Subsidiary as a director, officer, trustee, partner, fiduciary, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, pension or other employee benefit plan or enterprise, against all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages, liabilities and settlement amounts paid in connection with any claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation (whether arising before or after the Effective Time), whether civil, administrative or investigative, arising out of or pertaining to any action or omission in their capacities as officers or directors or in serving at the request of the Company or any Company Subsidiary, in each case occurring before the Effective Time (including the transactions contemplated by this Agreement).

Parent shall, and shall cause the Surviving

Corporation to, maintain such “tail” policies in full force and effect through such six (6) year period. If the Company or the Surviving Corporation for any reason fails to obtain such “tail” insurance policies as of the Effective Time, then from the Effective Time through the end of the Tail Period, Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, maintain in effect the Company’s current D&O Insurance covering each Person currently covered by the Company’s D&O Insurance for acts or omissions occurring prior to the Effective Time with respect to any matter claimed against such Person by reason of him or her serving in the applicable capacity on terms with respect to such coverage and amounts no less favorable than those of such D&O Insurance policies in effect on the date of this Agreement; provided that in no event shall the aggregate costs of such D&O Insurance policies exceed in any one (1) year during the Tail Period 250% of the current aggregate annual premiums paid by the Company for such purpose, it being understood that Parent or the Surviving Corporation shall nevertheless be obligated to provide such coverage, with respect to each year during the Tail Period, as may be obtained for such 250% annual amount; provided, further, that Parent or the Surviving Corporation may substitute therefor D&O Insurance policies of any nationally recognized reputable insurance company with a same or better credit rating than the Company’s current insurance carrier with respect to D&O Insurance.

Section 10.1 Non-Survival of Representations, Warranties and Covenants. None of the representations and warranties of the Parties in this Agreement or in any instrument delivered pursuant to this Agreement shall survive the Acceptance Time. None of the covenants or agreements in this Agreement shall survive the Effective Time, other than (a) the covenants and agreements contained in this Article X, the agreements of Parent, Purchaser and the Company in Article I (The Offer), Article III (Conversion of Securities;

Exchange of Certificates) and Section 6.11 (Indemnification of Directors and Officers), and (b) those other covenants and agreements contained herein that by their terms apply, or that are to be performed in whole or in part, after the Effective Time, which shall survive the consummation of the Merger until fully performed.

Section 10.2 Amendment. Subject to Section 1.4(b), and to the extent permitted by applicable Law, this Agreement may be amended by the Parties by action taken by or on behalf of their respective Boards of Directors at any time prior to the Effective Time, whether before or after the Acceptance Time or the Company Stockholder Approval; provided, however, that (a) after the Acceptance Time, there shall be no amendment that decreases the Merger Consideration or to Section 6.11, and (b) that, after approval of the Agreement by the stockholders of the Company, no amendment that, by Law, requires further approval by such stockholders may be made without such stockholder approval. This Agreement may not be amended except by an instrument in writing signed by Parent and the Company.

Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

Section 10.6 Severability. In the event that any provision of this Agreement, or the application thereof, becomes or is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, void or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement will continue in full force and effect and the application of such provision to other persons or circumstances will be interpreted so as reasonably to effect the intent of the Parties hereto. The Parties further agree to replace such void or unenforceable provision of this Agreement with a valid and enforceable provision that will achieve, to the extent possible, the economic, business and other purposes of such void or unenforceable provision.

Section 10.7 Entire Agreement. This Agreement (together with the Exhibits, Annex, Parent Disclosure Schedule, Company Disclosure Schedule and the other documents delivered pursuant hereto) and the Confidentiality Agreement constitute the entire agreement of the Parties and supersede all prior agreements and undertakings, both written and oral, among the Parties, or any of them, with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof.

Section 10.8 Governing Law; Jurisdiction.

(a) This Agreement and all claims or causes of action (whether in contract, tort or otherwise) that may be based upon, arise out of or relate to this Agreement or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement (including any claim or cause of action based upon, arising out of or related to any representation or warranty made in or in connection with this Agreement or as an inducement to enter into this Agreement), shall be construed, performed and enforced in accordance with the Laws of the State of Delaware without giving effect to its principles or rules of conflict of laws to the extent such principles or rules would require or permit the application of the Laws of another jurisdiction.

(b) Any Action between the Parties, arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby shall be brought solely and exclusively in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, or in any direct appellate court therefrom; provided that if (and only after) such courts determine that they lack subject matter jurisdiction over any such legal Action, such legal Action shall be brought solely and exclusively in the Federal courts of the United States located in the State of Delaware, or in any direct appellate court therefrom. Each of the Parties hereto agrees that a final judgment (subject to any appeals therefrom) in any such Action shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Law. Each Party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts in respect of any legal Action between the Parties arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any Action between the Parties arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby in any such court in accordance with the provisions of this Section 10.8. Each of the Parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such Action in any such court. Each of the Parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 10.4. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any Party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by Law.

EACH PARTY CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (i) NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER, (ii) EACH PARTY UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF THIS WAIVER, (iii) EACH PARTY MAKES THIS WAIVER VOLUNTARILY, AND (iv) EACH PARTY HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 10.9.

Section 10.10 Remedies; Specific Performance. Except as otherwise provided herein, any and all remedies herein expressly conferred upon a Party will be deemed cumulative with and not exclusive of any other remedy conferred hereby, or by law or equity upon such Party, and the exercise by a Party of any one remedy will not preclude the exercise of any other remedy. The Parties agree that irreparable damage would occur if any provision of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with the terms hereof, and, accordingly, that the Parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement or to enforce specifically the performance of the terms and provisions hereof, in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. The Parties hereto further agree to waive any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with the obtaining of any such injunctive or other equitable relief, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at Law or in equity.

Section 10.11 No Third-Party Beneficiaries. Except as provided in Section 6.11, each of Parent and the Company hereby agrees that their respective representations, warranties and covenants set forth herein are solely for the benefit of the other Parties, in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and this Agreement is not intended to, and does not, confer upon any Person other than the Parties hereto any rights or remedies hereunder, including the right to rely upon the representations and warranties set forth herein. The Parties further agree that the rights of third-party beneficiaries under Section 6.11 shall not arise unless and until the Effective Time occurs.

Section 10.12 Obligations of Parent and of the Company. Whenever this Agreement requires a Subsidiary of Parent to take any action (including Purchaser and the Surviving Corporation), such requirement shall be deemed to include an undertaking on the part of Parent to cause such Subsidiary to take such action.

Section 10.13 Fees and Expenses. The Surviving Corporation shall pay all charges and expenses, including those of the Paying Agent, incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated by Article III. The Company and Parent shall cooperate in timely

Section 1.4. Adjournments. Any meeting of stockholders, annual or special, may be adjourned from time to time, to reconvene at the same or some other place, and notice need not be given of any such adjourned meeting if the time and place thereof are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken. At the adjourned meeting the Corporation may transact any business which might have been transacted at the original meeting. If the adjournment is for more than thirty days, or if after the adjournment a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting.

Section 1.5. Quorum. At each meeting of stockholders, except where otherwise provided by law or the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws, the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of stock entitled to vote on a matter at the meeting, present in person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum. A quorum, once established, shall not be broken by the withdrawal of enough votes to leave less than a quorum. In the absence of a quorum of the holders of any class of stock entitled to vote on a matter, the holders of such class so present or represented may, by majority vote, adjourn the meeting of such class from time to time in the manner provided by Section 1.4 of these bylaws until a quorum of such class shall be so present or represented.

The Secretary, or in the absence of the Secretary an Assistant Secretary, shall act as secretary of the meeting, but in the absence of the Secretary and any Assistant Secretary the chairman of the meeting may appoint any person to act as secretary of the meeting. Except to the extent inconsistent with such rules and regulations as adopted by the Board of Directors, the chairman of any meeting of the stockholders shall have the right and authority to prescribe such rules, regulations and procedures and to do all such acts as, in the judgment of such chairman, are appropriate for the proper conduct of the meeting.

A duly executed proxy shall be irrevocable if it states that it is irrevocable and if, and only as long as, it is coupled with an interest sufficient in law to support an irrevocable power, regardless of whether the interest with which it is coupled is an interest in the stock itself or an interest in the Corporation generally. A stockholder may revoke any proxy which is not irrevocable by attending the meeting and voting in person or by filing an instrument in writing revoking the proxy or another duly executed proxy bearing a later date with the Secretary of the Corporation. Voting at meetings of stockholders need not be by written ballot and need not be conducted by inspectors unless the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of all classes of stock entitled to vote thereon present in person or represented by proxy at such meeting shall so determine. Directors shall be elected by a plurality of the votes of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on the election of directors.
