WHEREAS, the board of directors and audit committee of Parent (other than the Common Directors, who abstained and recused themselves from all discussions relating to the Merger) and the board of directors of Sub have determined that a merger of the Company and Sub, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, is fair to, and in the best interests of the Parent, Sub and their respective stockholders, and have determined that it is in the best interests of Parent and Sub and their respective stockholders, and declared it advisable, to enter into this Agreement and consummate the transactions described herein;

At the Effective Time, the separate corporate existence of Sub shall cease and the Company shall continue as the Surviving Corporation in the Merger and shall be a wholly owned Subsidiary of Parent and shall continue to be governed by the Laws of the State of Nevada. From and after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall possess all properties, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of the Company and Sub, and all of the claims, obligations, liabilities, debts and duties of the Company and Sub shall become the claims, obligations, liabilities, debts and duties of the Surviving Corporation.

The Closing shall be held at the offices of DLA Piper LLP (US), ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇.▇., ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇ (or pursuant to the electronic or other remote exchange of documents and closing deliverables required by this Agreement), unless another place is agreed to in writing by the Parties. The date on which the Closing occurs is referred to in this Agreement as the “Closing Date.”

1.3 Effective Time.

Concurrently with the Closing, the Company, Parent and Sub shall cause Articles of Merger relating to the Merger (the “Articles of Merger”) to be duly executed and filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada as provided under the NRS. The Merger shall become effective on the date and time at which the Articles of Merger have been properly filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada or at such later date and time as is agreed between the Parties and specified in the Articles of Merger, but in no event more than ninety (90) days after the date of filing the Articles of Merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada, and such date and time is hereinafter referred to as the “Effective Time.” The Merger shall have the effects set forth in this Agreement and the NRS.

1.4 Charter and Bylaws.

At the Effective Time, the articles of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation shall be the articles of incorporation of Sub in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, and the bylaws of the Surviving Corporation shall be the bylaws of Sub in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, in each case until thereafter amended in accordance with their respective terms and the NRS, provided that each shall be amended to change the name of the Company therein to "PROLOR Biotech, Inc."

1.5 Directors and Officers.

The directors of Sub in office immediately prior to the Effective Time (together with such additional persons as may be appointed or elected to become directors of the Surviving Corporation effective as of the Effective Time), shall be the directors of the Surviving Corporation at the Effective Time and shall serve in such capacity until the earlier of their resignation or removal or until their successors are duly elected and qualified in accordance with the applicable provisions of the articles of incorporation and bylaws of the Surviving Corporation and the NRS. The officers of Sub in office immediately prior to the Effective Time (together with such additional persons as may be elected to become officers of the Surviving Corporation effective as of the Effective Time) shall be the officers of the Surviving Corporation at the Effective Time and shall serve in such capacity until the earlier of their resignation or removal or until their successors are duly elected and qualified in accordance with the applicable provisions of the articles of incorporation and bylaws of the Surviving Corporation and the NRS.

1.6 Conversion of Shares.

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including, but not limited to, the provisions of this Article 1, at the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Parent, the Company, Sub or any holder of Company Common Stock:

(a) Conversion of Sub Common Stock. Each share of Sub Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into one fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Surviving Corporation (the “Converted Shares”). The Converted Shares shall constitute the only outstanding shares of capital stock of the Surviving Corporation at the Effective Time. From and after the Effective Time, all certificates representing shares of Sub Common Stock shall be deemed for all purposes to represent the Converted Shares until the board of directors of the Surviving Corporation issues new certificates in respect of such shares.

(b) Shares Held by the Company or Parent. Each of the shares of Company Common Stock held by any Company Entity (including shares of Company Common Stock held in treasury by the Company) or by any Parent Entity shall be canceled and retired at the Effective Time and no consideration shall be issued in exchange therefor.

(c) Conversion of Company Common Stock. Each share of Company Common Stock (excluding shares held by any Company Entity or any Parent Entity to be cancelled pursuant to Section 1.6(b)) issued and outstanding at the Effective Time shall cease to be outstanding and shall be converted into and exchanged for the right to receive 0.9951 of a share of Parent Common Stock (the “Exchange Ratio”) the “Merger Consideration.” From and after the Effective Time, all such shares of Company Common Stock shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled and retired and shall cease to exist, and each holder of a certificate (a “Company Certificate”) or book-entry share (a “Book-Entry Share”) representing any such shares of Company Common Stock shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the Merger Consideration therefor, without interest thereon, upon the surrender of such Company Certificate or Book-Entry Share in accordance with Section 1.9.

(d) Fractional Shares. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, each holder of shares of Company Common Stock exchanged pursuant to the Merger who would otherwise have been entitled to receive a fraction of a share of Parent Common Stock (after taking into account all certificates delivered by such holder) shall receive, in lieu thereof, one share of Parent Common Stock.

1.7 Anti-Dilution Provisions.

If, between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time, the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock shall have been changed into, or exchanged for, a different number of shares or a different class, by reason of any stock dividend, subdivision, reclassification, reorganization, recapitalization, split, combination, contribution or exchange of shares, the Merger Consideration and any adjustments or payments to be made under Section 1.6 and any other number or amount contained herein which is based upon the number of shares of Company Common Stock shall be correspondingly adjusted to provide the holders of Company Common Stock, Company Warrants, Company Options and other awards under the Company Option Plan, the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such event; provided, that with respect to Company Options and other awards made under the Company Option Plan, any such adjustments shall be made only to the extent required under the applicable Company Option Plan.

1.8 Warrants and Stock Options.

(a) Each warrant to purchase one share of Company Common Stock granted by the Company (the “Company Warrants”) that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether exercisable or not exercisable at such time, shall be converted into and become rights with respect to Parent Common Stock, and Parent shall assume each Company Warrant, in accordance with the terms of the Company Warrant, except that from and after the Effective Time, (i) each Company Warrant assumed by Parent may be exercised solely for shares of Parent Common Stock (or cash, if so provided under the terms of such Company Warrant), (ii) the number of shares of Parent Common Stock subject to such Company Warrant shall be equal to the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Company Warrant immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by the Exchange Ratio, rounded up to the nearest whole share, and (iii) the per share exercise price under each such Company Warrant shall be adjusted by dividing the per share exercise price under each such Company Warrant by the Exchange Ratio and rounding up to the nearest cent. Each of Company and Parent shall adopt any and all resolutions and take any and all necessary steps to effectuate the foregoing provisions of this Section 1.8(a), including using its reasonable efforts to obtain from each holder of a Company Warrant any Consent or Contract that may be deemed necessary or advisable in order to effect the transactions contemplated by this Section 1.8(a). Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, Parent shall have the right, in its sole discretion, not to deliver the consideration provided in this Section 1.8(a) to a former holder of a Company Warrant who has not delivered such Consent or Contract.

(b) Each option to purchase one share of Company Common Stock granted by the Company, whether granted pursuant to the Company Option Plan (individually, a “Company Plan Option”) or otherwise (collectively, including all Company Plan Options, the “Company Options”) that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether vested or unvested, shall be converted into and become rights with respect to Parent Common Stock, and Parent shall assume each Company Option, in accordance with the terms of the Company Option Plan and/or stock option agreement by which it is evidenced, except that from and after the Effective Time, (i) Parent and its Compensation Committee shall be substituted for Company and the compensation committee of the Board (including, if applicable, the Board) administering such Company Option Plan, (ii) each Company Option assumed by Parent may be exercised solely for shares of Parent Common Stock (or cash, if so provided under the terms of such Company Option), (iii) the number of shares of Parent Common Stock subject to such Company Options shall be equal to the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Company Options immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by the Exchange Ratio, rounded down to the nearest whole share, and (iv) the per share exercise price under each such Company Option shall be adjusted by dividing the per share exercise price under each such Company Option by the Exchange Ratio and rounding up to the nearest cent. In addition, notwithstanding the provisions of clauses (iii) and (iv) of the first sentence of this Section 1.8(b), each Company Option which is an “incentive stock option” or a nonqualified stock option held by a US taxpayer shall be adjusted as required by Section 424 of the Code and Section 409A of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder, so as not to constitute a modification, extension or renewal of the option, within the meaning of Section 424(h) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations under Section 409A of the Code, or otherwise result in negative tax treatment or penalties under Section 424 of the Code or Section 409A of the Code. Each of Company and Parent shall adopt any and all resolutions and take all necessary steps to effectuate the foregoing provisions of this Section 1.8(b).

(c) The Board or a committee of non-employee Directors thereof (as such term is defined for purposes of Rule 16b-3(d) under the Exchange Act) shall adopt a resolution in advance of the Effective Time providing that the disposition by the officers and directors of Company of Company Common Stock, Company Options or other equity securities of Company pursuant to the Merger or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement is intended to be exempt from liability pursuant to Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act. The Board of Directors of Parent or a committee of non-employee Directors thereof (as such term is defined for purposes of Rule 16b-3(d) under the Exchange Act) shall adopt a resolution in advance of the Effective Time providing that the receipt by the Company Insiders (as defined below) of Parent Common Stock or other equity securities of Parent pursuant to the Merger or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement (to the extent such equity securities are listed in the Section 16 Information, as defined below) is intended to be exempt from liability pursuant to Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act. For purposes of this Section 1.8(c), the term “Company Insiders” means those officers and directors of Company who are currently subject to or will become subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act as insiders of Parent in conjunction with the Merger, and the term “Section 16 Information” means information provided by Company that is accurate in all respects regarding Company Insiders and the number of shares of Parent Common Stock or other Parent equity securities to be acquired by each such Company Insider in connection with the Merger and other transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(d) As soon as practicable after the Effective Time, Parent shall deliver to the participants in each Company Option Plan an appropriate notice setting forth such participant’s rights pursuant thereto and the grants subject to such Company Option Plan shall continue in effect on the same terms and conditions (subject to the adjustments required by Section1.8(b) after giving effect to the Merger), and Parent shall comply with the terms of each Company Option Plan to ensure, to the extent required by, and subject to the provisions of, such Company Option Plan, that Company Options which qualified as incentive stock options prior to the Effective Time continue to qualify as incentive stock options after the Effective Time and Company Options which qualified for exemption from application of Section 409A of the Code prior to the Effective Time continue to remain so exempt. At or prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall take all corporate action necessary to reserve for issuance sufficient shares of Parent Common Stock for delivery upon exercise of Company Options assumed by it in accordance with this Section 1.8. As soon as practicable after the Effective Time, Parent shall file a registration statement on Form S-3 or Form S-8, as the case may be (or any successor or other appropriate forms), with respect to the shares of Parent Common Stock subject to such options and shall use its reasonable efforts to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statements (and maintain the current status of the prospectus or prospectuses contained therein) for so long as such options remain outstanding.

1.9 Exchange Procedures.

(a) On the Closing Date, Parent shall make available to the Parent’s transfer agent or another exchange agent selected by Parent and which is reasonably acceptable to the Company (the “Exchange Agent”), for exchange in accordance with this Section 1.9, the shares of the Parent Common Stock issuable pursuant to this Agreement. Promptly after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall instruct the Exchange Agent to mail (or in the case of the Depository Trust Company on behalf of “Street” holders, deliver) to each holder of record of a Company Certificate or Book-Entry Shares immediately prior to the Effective Time, appropriate transmittal materials and instructions (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to such Company Certificates or Book-Entry Shares shall pass, only upon proper delivery of such Company Certificates or Book-Entry Shares to the Exchange Agent). Each holder of shares of Company Common Stock that have been converted into the right to receive Merger Consideration shall be entitled to receive the Merger Consideration in respect of any share of Company Common Stock represented by a Company Certificate or any Book-Entry Share upon (i) surrender to the Exchange Agent of such Company Certificate, together with a duly completed and validly executed letter of transmittal and duly endorsed as the Exchange Agent may require or (ii) receipt of an “agent’s message” by the Exchange Agent (or such other evidence, if any, of the transfer as the Exchange Agent may reasonably request) in the case of book-entry of Book-Entry Shares. In the event of a transfer of ownership of shares of Company Common Stock represented by Company Certificates or Book-Entry Shares that are not registered in the transfer records of the Company, the consideration provided in Section 1.6 may be issued to a transferee if the Company Certificates representing such shares or Book-Entry Shares are delivered to the Exchange Agent, accompanied by all documents required to evidence such transfer and by evidence satisfactory to the Exchange Agent that any applicable stock transfer taxes have been paid. If any Company Certificate shall have been lost, stolen, mislaid or destroyed, upon receipt of (i) an affidavit of that fact from the holder claiming such Company Certificate to be lost, mislaid, stolen or destroyed, (ii) such bond, security or indemnity as Parent and the Exchange Agent may reasonably require, and (iii) any other documents necessary to evidence and effect the bona fide exchange thereof, the Exchange Agent shall issue to such holder the consideration into which the shares represented by such lost, stolen, mislaid or destroyed Company Certificate shall have been converted. The Exchange Agent may establish such other reasonable and customary rules and procedures in connection with its duties as it may deem appropriate. Parent shall pay all charges and expenses, including those of the Exchange Agent, in connection with the distribution of the consideration provided in Section 1.6. No interest will accrue or be paid to any holder of Company Common Stock.

(b) After the Effective Time, each holder of shares of Company Common Stock (other than shares to be canceled pursuant to Section 1.6(b)) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall surrender or transfer the Company Certificate or Company Certificates representing such shares or Book-Entry Shares to the Exchange Agent together with a duly completed and validly executed letter of transmittal and duly endorsed as the Exchange Agent may require and shall promptly upon surrender thereof receive in exchange therefor the consideration provided in Section 1.6 in one or more shares of Parent Common Stock which shall be in uncertificated book entry form unless a physical certificate is requested, together with all undelivered dividends or distributions in respect of such shares (without interest thereon) pursuant to Section 1.7. To the extent required by Section 1.6(d), each holder of shares of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time also shall receive, upon surrender of the Company Certificate or Company Certificates or Book-Entry Shares, a check in the amount equal to any cash in lieu of any fractional share of Parent Common Stock to which such holder may be otherwise entitled (without interest). Parent shall not be obligated to deliver the Merger Consideration to which any former holder of Company Common Stock is entitled as a result of the Merger until such holder surrenders or transfers such holder’s Company Certificate or Company Certificates or Book-Entry Shares for exchange as provided in this Section 1.9.

(c) Other than with respect to Israeli withholding taxes, each of Parent, the Surviving Corporation and the Exchange Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the Merger Consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder of shares of Company Common Stock such amounts, if any, as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code or any provision of any state or local Tax Law, unless they have been presented with documentation that eliminates the requirement to withhold, and to request any necessary Tax forms, as applicable, or any other proof of exemption from withholding or similar information, from the stockholders of the Company or other recipient of payments in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made. To the extent that any amounts are so withheld by Parent, the Surviving Corporation or the Exchange Agent, as the case may be, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of the shares of Company Common Stock in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made by Parent, the Surviving Corporation or the Exchange Agent, as the case may be. Each of Parent, the Surviving Corporation and the Exchange Agent shall provide any documentation of such deduction or withholding as reasonably requested by the stockholders of the Company or other recipient of payments in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made. To the extent so required by the Israeli Income Tax Ruling, or in the absence of an Israeli Tax Law Ruling, if waived by the Company pursuant to Section 5.3, Parent shall be entitled to (i) deduct and withhold from the Merger Consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder of shares of Company Common Stock, Company Options or Company Warrants to whom the Israeli Income Tax Ruling applies, and (ii) transfer such deducted and withheld shares to the Exchange Agent.

(d) Any portion of the aggregate Merger Consideration that remains unclaimed by the holders of Company Common Stock for one year after the Effective Time shall be returned to Parent (together with any dividends or earnings in respect thereof). Any holders of Company Common Stock who have not theretofore complied with this Article 1 shall thereafter be entitled to look only to Parent, and only as a general creditor thereof, for payment of the consideration deliverable in respect of each share of Company Common Stock such holder holds as determined pursuant to this Agreement, in each case, without any interest thereon.

(e) Any other provision of this Agreement notwithstanding, none of Parent, the Surviving Corporation or the Exchange Agent shall be liable to a holder of Company Common Stock for any amounts paid or property delivered in good faith to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law. Any amounts of consideration remaining unclaimed by holders of shares of Company Common Stock immediately prior to such time when the amounts would otherwise escheat to or become property of any Governmental Entity shall become, to the extent permitted by law, the property of Parent free and clear of any claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.

(f) If, at any time after the Effective Time, any further action is necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes or intent of this Agreement and to vest the Surviving Corporation with full right, title and possession to all assets, property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of Parent and Sub, the directors and officers of Parent and Sub shall have the authority to take all such lawful and necessary action.

1.10 Rights of Former Company Stockholders.

At the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed as to holders of Company Common Stock immediately prior to the Effective Time and no transfer of Company Common Stock by any such holder shall thereafter be made or recognized. If, after the Effective Time, Company Certificates and Book-Entry Shares representing shares of Company Common Stock are presented to the Surviving Corporation for transfer, they shall be canceled and exchanged for the Merger Consideration as provided in this Article 1. Until surrendered for exchange in accordance with the provisions of Section 1.9, each Company Certificate theretofore representing shares of Company Common Stock and each Book-Entry Share (other than shares to be canceled pursuant to Section 1.6(b)) shall from and after the Effective Time represent for all purposes only the right to receive the consideration provided in Section 1.6 in exchange therefor, subject, however, to the Surviving Corporation’s obligation to pay any dividends or make any other distributions with a record date prior to the Effective Time which have been declared or made by the Company in respect of such shares of Company Common Stock in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and which remain unpaid at the Effective Time. To the extent permitted by Law, former shareholders of record of Company shall be entitled to vote after the Effective Time at any meeting of Parent stockholders the number of whole shares of Parent Common Stock into which their respective shares of Company Common Stock are converted, regardless of whether such holders have exchanged their Company Certificates or Book-Entry Shares for certificates representing Parent Common Stock in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. Whenever a dividend or other distribution is declared by Parent on the Parent Common Stock, the record date for which is at or after the Effective Time, the declaration shall include dividends or other distributions on all shares of Parent Common Stock issuable pursuant to this Agreement, no dividend or other distribution payable to the holders of record of Parent Common Stock as of any time subsequent to the Effective Time shall be delivered to the holder of any Company Certificates or Book-Entry Shares until such holder surrenders such Company Certificates or Book-Entry Shares for exchange as provided in Section 1.9. However, upon surrender of such Company Certificates or Book-Entry Shares, both the Parent Common Stock certificate (together with all such undelivered dividends or other distributions without interest) and any undelivered dividends and cash payments payable hereunder (without interest) shall be delivered and paid with respect to each share represented by such Company Certificates or Book-Entry Shares.

Article 2

4.7 Solicitation; Change in Recommendation.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, during the period beginning on the date of this Agreement and continuing until 11:59 p.m. (New York City time) on the day that is forty (40) days following the date of this Agreement (the “Solicitation Period End Date”), the Company, the Company Subsidiaries and their respective Representatives shall have the right (acting under the direction of the Special Committee) to, directly or indirectly: (i) solicit, initiate, facilitate and encourage any Company Acquisition Proposal from any third party, including by way of providing access to information pursuant to one or more confidentiality agreements containing terms at least as restrictive with respect to such Person as the terms contained in the Confidentiality Agreement are with respect to Parent (provided that such confidentiality agreements may provide that any standstill provisions shall terminate if there is a public announcement that a third party other than Parent has entered into an agreement with the Company with respect to an Acquisition Proposal or such third party has publicly announced that it intends to commence a tender offer with respect to the Company’s equity securities) (an “Acceptable NDA”), provided, that any material non-public information concerning the Company or the Company Subsidiaries provided to any third party given such access shall, to the extent not previously provided to Parent or Sub, be provided to Parent simultaneously or as promptly as reasonably practicable after it is provided to such third party; and (ii) enter into, continue or otherwise participate in any discussions or negotiations with respect to any Company Acquisition Proposal or otherwise cooperate with or assist or participate in or facilitate any such discussions or negotiations or any effort or attempt to make any Company Acquisition Proposal.

(b) Except as expressly permitted by this Section 4.7, the Company shall, and the Company shall instruct the Company Subsidiaries and the Company’s Representatives to, immediately after the Solicitation Period End Date, or, if applicable, the Cut-Off Date: (A) cease all discussions and negotiations with any Persons that may be ongoing with respect to a Company Acquisition Proposal; and (B) until the earlier of the Effective Time or the date on which this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 6.1 hereof, not, directly or indirectly, (i) solicit, initiate, knowingly encourage or knowingly induce or take any other action reasonably expected to lead to, any inquiry, proposal or offer from any Person (other than Parent) that constitutes, or would reasonably be expected to lead to, a Company Acquisition Proposal; (ii) provide any material non-public information concerning the Company or the Company Subsidiaries to any Person in connection with a Company Acquisition Proposal; or (iii) engage in any discussions or negotiations with any third party concerning a Company Acquisition Proposal. For the avoidance of doubt, after the Solicitation Period End Date, the Company may continue to engage in the activities described in this Section 4.7(b) with respect to any Company Acquisition Proposal submitted by a Continuing Party on or before the Solicitation Period End Date until 11:59 p.m. (New York City time) on the twentieth (20th) day following the Solicitation Period End Date (the “Cut-Off Date”), including with respect to any amended or revised Company Acquisition Proposal submitted by such Continuing Party on or before the Cut-Off Date.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 4.7(b), in the event that, prior to the receipt of the Required Company Vote, the Company receives an written Company Acquisition Proposal, then the Company may take the following actions:

(ii) furnish information concerning the Company and the Company Subsidiaries to the Person making such Company Acquisition Proposal (and its respective Representatives) pursuant to an Acceptable NDA; and

(iii) engage in discussions or negotiations (including, as a part thereof, making counterproposals) with such Person (and its Representatives) with respect to such Company Acquisition Proposal; provided, that prior to taking any action described in Section 4.7(c)(ii) or Section 4.7(c)(iii) above, the Special Committee shall have determined in good faith (i) (after consultation with the Company’s outside financial advisors) that such Company Acquisition Proposal constitutes or could reasonably be expected to result in a Superior Proposal, and (ii) (after consultation with the Company’s outside legal advisors) that failing to take any such actions would likely be inconsistent with the Special Committee’s exercise of its fiduciary duties under applicable Law.

(d) The Company shall notify Parent promptly (but in any event within twenty-four (24) hours) of (i) any Company Acquisition Proposal, (ii) any initial request for non-public information concerning the Company or any Company Subsidiary related to, or from any Person or group who would reasonably be expected to make a Company Acquisition Proposal or (iii) any initial request for discussions or negotiations related to any Company Acquisition Proposal. The Company will provide Parent promptly (but in any event within twenty-four (24) hours), the identity of the Person making such proposal, offer or inquiry or other contact and the material terms and conditions of any proposals or offers and thereafter shall promptly keep Parent informed of the status and all material developments of any such proposals, offers, inquiries or requests.

(e) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Board shall not (i) (A) withdraw (or modify in a manner adverse to Parent and Sub), or propose publicly to withdraw (or modify in a manner adverse to Parent and Sub), the Company Board Recommendation, (B) adopt, approve or recommend, or propose publicly to adopt, approve or recommend, any Company Acquisition Proposal (any action in this clause (i) being referred to as a “Change of Recommendation”) or (ii) adopt, approve or recommend, or allow the Company or any Company Subsidiary to execute or enter into, any merger agreement, letter of intent, agreement in principle, share purchase agreement, option purchase agreement, asset purchase agreement, share exchange agreement or other similar agreement relating to a Company Acquisition Proposal (other than an Acceptable NDA) or (C) if a tender offer or exchange offer for shares of Company Common Stock that constitutes a Company Acquisition Proposal is commenced, fail to recommend against acceptance of such tender offer or exchange offer (other than a communication that is in compliance with Rule 14d-9 and Rule 14e-2 which communication also complies with Section 4.7(g)). Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, at any time prior to the receipt of the Required Company Vote, (x) if the Special Committee determines in good faith (after consultation with the Company’s outside legal advisors) that the failure to do so would likely be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law, then the Board, acting upon the recommendation of the Special Committee, may make a Change of Recommendation; or (y) if the Board determines in good faith (after consultation with the Company’s outside financial and legal advisors) that a Company Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal, then the Company may enter into a definitive written agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal and/or adopt, approve, endorse or recommend such tender offer or exchange offer for shares of Company Common Stock.

(f) The Company shall not be entitled to effect a Change of Recommendation or enter into a definitive agreement with respect to a Superior Proposal as permitted under Section 4.7(e) unless (i) the Company has provided written notice (a “Notice of Change ”) at least three (3) Business Days in advance to Parent and Sub advising Parent that the Board intends to make a Change of Recommendation or enter into a definitive written agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal, as applicable, and specifying the reasons therefor, including in the case of a Superior Proposal the material terms and conditions of such Superior Proposal that is the basis of the proposed action by the Board (including the identity of the third party making the Superior Proposal and any financing materials related thereto, if any), (ii) during the three (3) Business Day period following Parent’s and Sub’s receipt of the Notice of Change, the Company shall, and shall cause its Representatives to, in the case of a Superior Proposal only, negotiate with Parent and Sub in good faith (to the extent Parent and Sub desire to negotiate) to make such adjustments in the terms and conditions of this Agreement so that such Superior Proposal ceases to constitute a Superior Proposal and (iii) in the case of a Superior Proposal only, following the end of the three (3) Business Day period, the Board and the Special Committee shall have determined in good faith, taking into account any changes to this Agreement proposed in writing by Parent and Sub in response to the Notice of Change or otherwise, that the Superior Proposal giving rise to the Notice of Change continues to constitute a Superior Proposal. Any material amendment to the financial terms or any other material amendment of such Superior Proposal shall require a new Notice of Change and the Company shall be required to comply again with the requirements of this Section 4.7(f); provided, that references above in this Section 4.7(f) to three (3) Business Days shall be changed to references to two (2) Business Days.

(g) Nothing contained in this Section 4.7 shall prohibit the Company, the Board or the Special Committee from (i) complying with Rule 14d-9 and Rule 14e-2 promulgated under the Exchange Act in respect of any Company Acquisition Proposal or (ii) making any disclosure to the stockholders of the Company or taking any other action required to comply with applicable Law (including their fiduciary duties thereunder). Any public disclosure by the Company relating to a Company Acquisition Proposal (other than a “stop, look and listen” or similar communication of the type contemplated by Rule 14d-9(f) under the Exchange Act) shall be deemed to be a Change of Recommendation unless the Board and Special Committee expressly publicly reaffirms its approval or recommendation of this Agreement and the Merger in such disclosure, or in the case of a “stop, look and listen” or similar communication, in a subsequent disclosure on or before the earlier of (i) the last day of the ten (10) business day period under Rule 14d-9(f) under the Exchange Act and (ii) two (2) Business Days before the Company Stockholders’ Meeting.

(h) For purposes of this Agreement, (i) “Company Acquisition Proposal” means any offer or proposal made by a Person or group at any time after the date hereof that is structured to result in such Person or group acquiring, directly or indirectly, beneficial ownership of at least fifteen percent (15%) of the Assets of, equity interest in, or business of, the Company and the Company Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, pursuant to a merger, reorganization, recapitalization, consolidation, license, share exchange, business combination, tender offer, sale of shares of capital stock, sale of assets or other similar transaction, including any single or multi-step transaction or series of related transactions, in each case other than the Merger, (ii) “Superior Proposal” means any Company Acquisition Proposal that if consummated would result in a Person or group owning, directly or indirectly, (a) fifty percent (50%) or more of all classes of outstanding equity securities of the Company or of the surviving entity in a merger involving the Company or the resulting direct or indirect parent of the Company or such surviving entity or (b) fifty percent (50%) or more (based on the fair market value thereof) of the Assets of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries (including capital stock of the Company Subsidiaries), taken as a whole, that the Board or the Special Committee determined (after consultation with its outside legal counsel and financial advisor) are superior, from a financial point of view, to this Agreement, taking into account all financial, legal, regulatory and other aspects of such proposal and of this Agreement (including the relative risks of non-consummation and any changes to the terms of this Agreement proposed by Parent to the Company), and (iii) “Continuing Party” shall mean any Person or group (other than Parent or Sub) (i) from whom the Company has received, after the date of this Agreement and prior to the Solicitation Period End Date, a written Company Acquisition Proposal that the Company Board and Special Committee determines, as of the Solicitation Period End Date, in good faith (after consultation with its independent financial advisor and outside legal counsel) would reasonably be expected to result in a Superior Proposal and (ii) is engaged in good faith discussions with the Company with respect to such Company Acquisition Proposal immediately prior to the Solicitation Period End Date.

Subject to applicable Laws relating to the exchange of information and the preservation of any applicable attorney-client privilege, work-product doctrine, self-audit privilege or other similar privilege (collectively, “Legal Privilege”), Parent and the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to collaborate in reviewing and commenting on in advance, and to consult the other on, information relating to Parent or the Company, as the case may be, and any of their respective Subsidiaries, that appears in (i) any filing made with, (ii) written materials submitted to, or (iii) oral statements made to, any Governmental Entity, Regulatory Authority or other third party in connection with the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby.

(a) For purposes of this Section 4.11, (i) “Indemnified Person” shall mean any person who is now, or has been at any time prior to the Effective Time, an officer or director of the Company or who was serving at the request of the Company as an officer or director of another corporation, joint venture or other enterprise , and (ii) “Proceeding” shall mean any claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, whether or not such claim, proceeding or investigation results in a formal civil or criminal litigation or regulatory action.

(b) From and after the Effective Time, Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall (i) indemnify and hold harmless against any costs or expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages or liabilities incurred in connection with any Proceeding, and provide advancement of expenses to, all Indemnified Persons to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law and the Company Organizational Documents, and (ii) honor the provisions regarding elimination of liability of directors, indemnification of officers, directors and employees and advancement of expenses contained in the Company Organizational Documents immediately prior to the Effective Time and ensure that the articles of incorporation and bylaws of the Surviving Corporation shall contain provisions no less favorable with respect to indemnification, advancement of expenses and exculpation of present and former directors, officers, employees and agents of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries than are presently set forth in the Company Organizational Documents. Any right of indemnification of an Indemnified Person pursuant to this Section 4.11(b) shall not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified at any time until six (6) years from the Effective Time in a manner that would adversely affect the rights of such Indemnified Person as provided herein except as required by applicable Law. Without limiting the foregoing, in any case in which approval by Parent or the Surviving Corporation is required to effectuate any indemnification or advancement of expenses, Parent or the Surviving Corporation, as applicable, shall direct, at the election of the Indemnified Person, that the determination of any such approval shall be made by independent counsel mutually agreed upon between Parent and the Indemnified Person.

(c) For a period of six (6) years from the Effective Time, Parent shall maintain in effect the Company’s current directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies in respect of acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Effective Time, covering each Indemnified Person on terms with respect to such coverage and amounts no less favorable than those of such policies in effect on the date of this Agreement; provided, that Parent may substitute therefor policies of a reputable and financially sound insurance company containing terms, including with respect to coverage and amounts, no less favorable to any Indemnified Person; provided further, that in satisfying their obligation under this Section 4.11(c), Parent shall not be obligated to pay for coverage for any 12-month period with aggregate premiums for insurance in excess of 200% of the amount (“Annual Amount”) payable by the Company for 12 months of coverage under its existing directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies, it being understood and agreed that Parent shall nevertheless be obligated to provide such coverage as may be obtained for 200% of the Annual Amount. Parent will cause such policies to be maintained in full force and effect for their full term, and cause all obligations thereunder to be honored by the Surviving Corporation. In lieu of maintaining such policies, the Surviving Corporation may purchase, at the Effective Time, tail policies to the current directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies maintained at such time by the Company, which tail policies (i) will be effective for a period from the Effective Time through and including the date six (6) years after the Effective Time with respect to claims arising from facts or events that existed or occurred prior to or at the Effective Time, and (ii) will contain coverage that is at least as protective to such directors and officers as the coverage provided by such existing policies; provided, that the Surviving Corporation shall not be obligated to pay for coverage for any 12-month period with aggregate premiums for insurance in excess of 200% of the Annual Amount, it being understood and agreed that the Surviving Corporation shall nevertheless be obligated to provide such coverage as may be obtained for 200% of the Annual Amount.

The provisions of this Section 4.11 shall survive the consummation of the Merger for a period of six (6) years and are expressly intended to benefit each of the Indemnified Persons and their respective heirs and representatives; provided, that in the event that any claim or claims for indemnification set forth in Section 4.11 are asserted or made within such six (6) year period, all rights to indemnification in respect of any such claim or claims shall continue until disposition of any and all such claims. If Parent and/or Surviving Corporation, or any of their respective successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person, or (ii) transfers or conveys all or substantially all of their businesses or assets to any other Person, then, in each such case, to the extent necessary, a proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Parent and/or Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, shall assume the obligations of Parent and Surviving Corporation set forth in this Section 4.11.

4.12 Press Releases.

The initial press release concerning the Agreement and the Merger shall be a joint release and, thereafter, so long as this Agreement is in effect, none of Parent, Sub or the Company will disseminate any press release or other public disclosure materially related to this Agreement, the Merger or any other transaction contemplated hereby, without the prior consent of the other Parties hereto; provided, that nothing in this Section 4.12 shall be deemed to prohibit any Party from making any disclosure that its outside legal counsel deems required by Law or the rules or regulations of any applicable securities exchange or regulatory or governmental body to which the relevant party is subject or submits, wherever situated, in which case the party required to make the release or announcement shall use its reasonable best efforts to allow each other party reasonable time to comment on such release or announcement in advance of such issuance provided, further, that each of Parent and the Company may make any public statement in response to specific questions by the press, analysts, investors or those attending industry conferences or financial analyst conference calls, so long as any such statements are not inconsistent with previous press releases, public disclosures or public statements made jointly by Parent and the Company and do not reveal material, non-public information regarding the other Parties.

7.4 Governing Law; Jurisdiction.

This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the Laws of the State of Delaware, regardless of the Laws that might otherwise govern under applicable principles of conflicts of laws thereof, except to the extent that mandatory provisions of federal law apply or mandatory principles of law require the application of the NRS. Each of the Parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of Delaware and any appellate court thereof and any United States District Court for the State of Delaware and any appellate court thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the agreements delivered in connection herewith or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment relating thereto, and each of the Parties hereby irrevocably and unconditionally (a) agrees not to commence any such action except in such courts, (b) agrees that any claim in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such courts, (c) waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so any objection which it may now or hereafter have to venue of any such action or proceeding in any such courts, and (d) waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, the defense of any inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such courts.
