AGREEMENT

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the covenants, premises, representations and warranties and agreements contained in this Agreement and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound, the parties to this Agreement agree as follows:

ARTICLE 1
THE OFFER

1.1                            The Offer.

(a)                               Terms and Conditions.  Provided that this Agreement shall not have been terminated in accordance with Article 7, as promptly as practicable after the date hereof (but in no event later than ten (10) Business Days after the date hereof), Purchaser shall (and Parent shall cause Purchaser to) commence, within the meaning of Rule 14d-2 under the Exchange Act, the Offer to purchase for cash any and all outstanding Company Shares at the Offer Price (subject to Section 2.4).  The Offer shall be made by means of an offer to purchase (the “Offer to Purchase”) that contains the terms and conditions of the Offer as set forth in this Agreement and in Annex I (the “Offer Conditions”).  The consummation of the Offer, and the obligation of Purchaser to accept for payment and pay for Company Shares tendered pursuant to the Offer, shall be subject only to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and to the satisfaction, or waiver by Purchaser, of the Offer Conditions.

(b)                              Waiver of Conditions.  To the extent permitted by Law, Purchaser expressly reserves the right (in its sole discretion) to waive any of the conditions to the Offer, and to increase the Offer Price or to make any other changes in the terms and conditions of the Offer; provided, however, that except with the prior written approval of the Company (in its sole discretion), Purchaser shall not (i) decrease the Offer Price, (ii) change the form of consideration payable in the Offer, (iii) reduce the maximum number of Company Shares sought to be purchased in the Offer, (iv) amend, modify or waive the Minimum Condition, (v) impose conditions to the Offer that are in addition to the conditions to the Offer set forth in Annex I hereto, (vi) except as provided in Section 1.1(c) or Section 1.1(d), terminate, accelerate, extend or otherwise modify or amend the Expiration Date, or (vii) otherwise modify or amend any of the Offer Conditions or other terms of the Offer in a manner adverse, or that would reasonably be expected to be adverse, to the holders of Company Shares.  For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall any waiver by Parent or Purchaser of any condition to the Offer (other than the Minimum Condition) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement be deemed to be a modification or amendment of the Offer that is adverse to the holders of Company Shares.

2

(c)                               Expiration and Extension of the Offer.  Unless extended in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Offer shall expire at 12:00 midnight (Eastern time) on the date that is twenty (20) Business Days following the commencement of the Offer (determined using Rule 14d-1(g)(3) promulgated under the Exchange Act) (such date and time, the “Initial Expiration Date”).  In the event that the Offer is extended pursuant to and in accordance with this Agreement, then the Offer shall expire on the date and at the time to which the Offer has been so extended (the Initial Expiration Date, or such later date and time to which the Initial Expiration Date has been extended in accordance with this Agreement, the “Expiration Date”).  Purchaser may extend the Expiration Date at any time with the Company’s written consent.  Purchaser may, without the Company’s consent:

(i)                                  extend the Offer for any period required by any Law or rules, regulations, interpretations or positions of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) or its staff or NASDAQ applicable to the Offer (including in order to comply with Exchange Act Rule 14e-1(b) in respect of any change in the Offer Price); or

(ii)                              if, as of any Expiration Date, any Offer Condition is not satisfied and has not been waived, extend the Offer on one or more occasions in consecutive increments of up to ten (10) Business Days each (or such longer period as the parties hereto may agree), until such time as all Offer Conditions are satified or waived;

provided, however, that, without the Company’s written consent, Purchaser shall not extend the Offer beyond the earlier of the End Date and the termination of this Agreement.  If, (A) as of any Expiration Date, any Offer Condition (other than the Minimum Condition) is not satisfied and has not been waived by Purchaser in its sole discretion or (B) as of any Expiration Date, all Offer Conditions have been satisfied or waived by Purchaser in its sole discretion other than the Minimum Condition, then on every occasion under clause (A) and on not more than two (2) occasions under clause (B), in each case at the request of the Company, Purchaser shall extend the Offer for an additional period of ten (10) Business Days (or such longer or shorter period as the parties hereto may agree) to permit such Offer Condition(s) to be satisfied; provided, however, that, without the Company’s written consent, Purchaser shall not extend the Offer, and without Purchaser’s prior written consent, Purchaser shall not be required to extend the Offer, in each case beyond the earlier of the End Date and the termination of this Agreement.  Nothing in this Section 1.1(c) shall be deemed to impair, limit or otherwise restrict in any manner the right of the parties to terminate this Agreement pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of Article 7.

(d)                             Termination of the Offer.  Purchaser shall not terminate the Offer prior to its Expiration Date (as extended and re-extended in accordance with Section 1.1(c)) without the prior written consent of the Company (in its sole discretion), except if this Agreement has been terminated in accordance with Article 7.  If this Agreement is terminated in accordance with Article 7, Purchaser shall (and Parent shall cause Purchaser to) promptly (and in any event within two (2) Business Days of such termination), irrevocably and unconditionally terminate the Offer and shall not acquire any Company Shares pursuant thereto.  If the Offer is terminated by Purchaser, Purchaser shall, and Parent shall cause Purchaser to, promptly return, and shall cause any depositary acting on behalf of Purchaser to return, in accordance with Law, all tendered Company Shares to the registered holders thereof and Purchaser shall not, and Parent shall cause Purchaser not to, accept any Company Shares pursuant to the Offer.

3

(e)                               Payment for Company Shares.  On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement and the Offer, Purchaser shall (and Parent shall cause Purchaser to) accept for payment, and pay for, all Company Shares that are validly tendered and not validly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer promptly (within the meaning of Rule 14e-1(c) promulgated under the Exchange Act) after the Expiration Date (the time of such acceptance the “Acceptance Time”); provided, however, that without the prior written consent of the Company (in its sole discretion), Purchaser shall not accept for payment or pay for any Company Shares if, as a result, Purchaser would acquire less than the number of Company Shares necessary to satisfy the Minimum Condition.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Parent shall provide or cause to be provided to Purchaser on a timely basis the funds necessary to pay for any and all Company Shares that Purchaser becomes obligated to accept in the Offer and purchase pursuant to the Offer and this Agreement.  The Offer Price payable in respect of each Company Share validly tendered and not validly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer shall be paid to the holder thereof in cash, without interest, and net of applicable withholding of Taxes as provided in Section 2.8.

(f)                                Schedule TO and Offer Documents.  As soon as practicable on the date of the commencement of the Offer in accordance with Section 1.1(a), Parent and Purchaser shall file with the SEC, in accordance with Rule 14d-3 under the Exchange Act, a Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO with respect to the Offer (together with all amendments, supplements and exhibits thereto, the “Schedule TO”).  The Schedule TO shall include, as exhibits, the Offer to Purchase, a form of letter of transmittal, a form of summary advertisement and any schedule or form required to be filed pursuant to the Instructions to Schedule TO (collectively, together with any amendments, supplements and exhibits thereto, the “Offer Documents”).  Purchaser may, but shall not be required to, provide guaranteed delivery procedures for the tender of Company Shares in the Offer; provided, however, that if Purchaser provides guaranteed delivery procedures, for purposes of determining whether the Minimum Condition has been satisfied, Parent and Purchaser shall include for purposes of its determination thereof Company Shares tendered in the Offer pursuant to guaranteed delivery procedures (and such Company Shares shall be deemed to be validly tendered) if and only if Company Shares subject to such guarantees have been received by, or on behalf of, Purchaser as of the Expiration Date.  Parent and Purchaser agree to cause the Offer Documents to be disseminated to holders of Company Shares, as and to the extent required by federal securities Laws, including the Exchange Act.  Parent and Purchaser shall cause the Offer Documents to (i) comply with the applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and (ii) as of the date first filed with the SEC and on the date first published, sent or given to the holders of Company Shares, not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, however, that no covenant is made by Parent or Purchaser with respect to information supplied by the Company for inclusion in the Offer Documents.  Parent and Purchaser, on the one hand, and the Company, on the other hand, agree to promptly notify the other party and correct any information provided by it for use in the Offer Documents, if and to the extent that it shall have become false or misleading in any material respect or as otherwise required by Law, and Purchaser agrees to cause the Offer Documents, as so corrected, to be filed with the SEC and disseminated to holders of Company Shares, in each case, as and to the extent required by Law, or by the SEC or its staff or NASDAQ.  Prior to an Adverse Recommendation Change, the Company and its counsel shall be given a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on the Schedule TO and the Offer Documents before they are filed with the SEC, and Parent and Purchaser shall consider in good faith any comments from the Company or its counsel.  In addition, prior to an Adverse Recommendation Change, Parent and Purchaser shall provide in writing to the Company and its counsel any written comments or other material written communications (and shall orally describe any oral comments or other material oral communication), that Parent and Purchaser or their counsel may receive from time to time from the SEC or its staff or any other Governmental Authority with respect to the Schedule TO or the Offer Documents promptly after receipt, and any written or oral responses thereto.  Prior to an Adverse Recommendation Change, the Company and its counsel shall be given a reasonable opportunity to participate in the formulation of any response to any such comments of the SEC or any other Governmental Authority or its staff, including a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on any such responses, which comments Parent and Purchaser shall consider in good faith.  Parent and Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to respond promptly to any such comments.

(a)                               Schedule 14D-9.  On the date that the Offer Documents are filed with the SEC, the Company shall, in a manner that complies with the rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC under the Exchange Act, including Rule 14d-9 thereunder, file with the SEC a Tender Offer Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9 with respect to the Offer (together with all amendments, supplements and exhibits thereto, the “Schedule 14D-9”) that shall, subject to the provisions of Section 5.3, contain the Company Board Recommendation.  The Company further agrees to cause the Schedule 14D-9 to be disseminated to holders of Company Shares, as and to the extent required by federal securities laws, including the Exchange Act.  The Company shall cause the Schedule 14D-9 to (i) comply with applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and (ii) as of the date first filed with the SEC and on the date first published, sent or given to the holders of Company Shares, not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, however, that no covenant is made by the Company with respect to information supplied by Parent or Purchaser for inclusion in the Schedule 14D-9.  Parent and Purchaser, on the one hand, and the Company, on the other hand, agree to promptly notify the other party and correct any information included in, or incorporated by reference into, the Schedule 14D-9, if and to the extent that it shall have become false or misleading in any material respect or as otherwise required by Law, and the Company agrees to cause the Schedule 14D-9, as so corrected, to be filed with the SEC and disseminated to holders of Company Shares, in each case, as and to the extent required by the Law, or by the SEC or its staff or NASDAQ.  Prior to an Adverse Recommendation Change (and except for a filing on Schedule 14D-9 to disclose an Adverse Recommendation Change made in compliance with Section 5.3), Parent, Purchaser and their counsel shall be given a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on the Schedule 14D-9 before it is filed with the SEC, and the Company shall consider in good faith any comments from Parent, Purchaser or their counsel.  In addition, prior to an Adverse Recommendation Change (and except for comments or communications relating to a filing on Schedule 14D-9 to disclose an Adverse Recommendation Change made in compliance with Section 5.3), the Company shall provide in writing to Parent, Purchaser and their counsel any written comments or other written communications (and shall orally describe any oral comments or other material oral communication), that the Company or its counsel may receive from time to time from the SEC or its staff or any other Governmental Authority with respect to the Schedule 14D-9 promptly after receipt, and any written or oral responses thereto.  Prior to an Adverse Recommendation Change (and except for responses relating to a filing on Schedule 14D-9 to disclose an Adverse Recommendation Change made in compliance with Section 5.3), Parent, Purchaser and their counsel shall be given a reasonable opportunity to participate in the formulation of any response to any such comments of the SEC or any other Governmental Authority or its staff, including a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on any such responses, which comments the Company shall consider in good faith.  The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to respond promptly to any such comments.

(b)                              Company Information.  Prior to an Adverse Recommendation Change, in connection with the Offer, from time to time as reasonably requested by Parent, Purchaser or their agents, the Company shall, or shall cause its transfer agent to, promptly (and in any event no later than five (5) Business Days after the date hereof) furnish to Purchaser and Parent a list, as of the most recent practicable date, of the stockholders of the Company, mailing labels and any available listing or computer files containing the names and addresses of all record and beneficial holders of Company Shares, and lists of security positions of Company Shares held in stock depositories (including updated lists of stockholders, mailing labels, listings or files of securities positions) and such other assistance as Parent, Purchaser or their agents may reasonably request from time to time in communicating with the holders of Company Shares.  Except for such steps as are necessary to disseminate the Offer Documents and any other documents necessary to consummate the Merger, Parent and Purchaser and their agents shall:  (i) hold in confidence the information contained in any such lists of stockholders, mailing labels and listings, computer files or files of securities positions in accordance with the Confidentiality Agreement (provided, for the avoidance of doubt, that the Company consents to the use by Parent and Purchaser of such information as is necessary to communicate the Offer and the Merger to the holders of Company Shares, and acknowledges that such use does not constitute a breach of any provision of the Confidentiality Agreement), (ii) use such information only in connection with the Offer and the Merger, and (iii) if this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Article 7, Parent and Purchaser shall deliver to (and shall use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to cause their agents to deliver) the Company any and all copies and any extracts or summaries from such information then in their possession or control.

2.3                                        Effect on Capital Stock.  At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Parent, Purchaser, the Company or the holders of any of the following securities:

7

(a)                               Conversion of Company Shares.  Except as set forth in Section 2.3(b), for Dissenting Shares and for Company Restricted Shares, each Company Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into the right to receive the Offer Price, without interest (the “Merger Consideration”), payable without interest in cash, net of applicable withholding of Taxes as provided in Section 2.8, upon surrender of the Certificates or Book-Entry Shares in accordance with Section 2.5.

(b)                              Excluded Company Shares.  Each Company Share (i) owned by Parent, Purchaser or the Company, or by any direct or indirect wholly owned Subsidiary of Parent, Purchaser or the Company, in each case outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time or (ii) irrevocably accepted for purchase pursuant to the Offer (“Accepted Company Shares”), shall, in each case, as of the Effective Time, be canceled by virtue of the Merger without any consideration paid therefor (other than, for the avoidance of doubt and without duplication, any consideration that remains payable with respect to any such Accepted Company Shares pursuant to the Offer).

(c)                               Conversion of Purchaser Shares.  Each share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of Purchaser issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and become one newly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable share of common stock of the Surviving Corporation.

2.5                                        Payment for Securities; Surrender of Certificates.

Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall designate a reputable bank or trust company to act as the paying agent (the identity and terms of designation and appointment of which shall be reasonably acceptable to the Company) for purposes of effecting the payment of the Merger Consideration in connection with the Merger (the “Paying Agent”).  Parent shall pay, or cause to be paid, the fees and expenses of the Paying Agent.  Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall deposit, or cause to be deposited, with the Paying Agent the aggregate Merger Consideration to which holders of Company Shares shall be entitled at the Effective Time pursuant to this Agreement.  In the event such deposited funds are insufficient to make the payments contemplated pursuant to Section 2.3, Parent shall promptly deposit, or cause to be deposited, with the Paying Agent, such additional funds to ensure that the Paying Agent has sufficient funds to make such payments.

8

(b)                              Procedures for Surrender.

(i)                                  Certificates.  As soon as practicable after the Effective Time (and in no event later than five (5) Business Days after the Effective Time), the Surviving Corporation shall cause the Paying Agent to mail to each Person that was, immediately prior to the Effective Time, a holder of record of Company Shares represented by certificates (the “Certificates”), which Company Shares were converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration (net of applicable withholding of Taxes as provided in Section 2.8 and without interest) at the Effective Time pursuant to this Agreement:  (i) a letter of transmittal, which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of the Certificates to the Paying Agent, and shall otherwise be in such form as the Company, Parent and the Paying Agent shall reasonably agree; and (ii) instructions for effecting the surrender of the Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu of the Certificates as provided in Section 2.5(e)) in exchange for payment of the Merger Consideration net of applicable withholding of Taxes as provided in Section 2.8 and without interest.  Upon surrender of a Certificate (or affidavit of loss in lieu of the Certificate as provided in Section 2.5(e)) to the Paying Agent, and upon delivery of a letter of transmittal, duly executed and in proper form, with respect to such Certificates, the holder of such Certificates shall be entitled to receive the Merger Consideration for each Company Share formerly represented by such Certificates (net of applicable withholding of Taxes as provided in Section 2.8 and without interest), any Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled.  If payment of the Merger Consideration is to be made to a Person other than the Person in whose name any surrendered Certificate is registered, it shall be a condition precedent of payment that the Certificate so surrendered shall be properly endorsed or shall be otherwise in proper form for transfer, and the Person requesting such payment shall have paid any transfer and other similar Taxes required by reason of the payment of the Merger Consideration to a Person other than the registered holder of the Certificate so surrendered and shall have established to the satisfaction of the Surviving Corporation that such Taxes either have been paid or are not required to be paid.  No interest will be paid or accrued on any amount payable upon due surrender of the Certificates.  Until surrendered as contemplated hereby, each Certificate shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive the Merger Consideration, net of applicable withholding of Taxes as provided in Section 2.8 and without interest, in cash as contemplated by this Agreement, except for Certificates representing Company Shares held by Dissenting Stockholders, which, subject to Section 2.6, shall be deemed to represent the right to receive payment of the fair value of such Company Shares in accordance with and to the extent provided by Section 262 of the DGCL.

(ii)                              Book-Entry Shares.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, no holder of non-certificated Company Shares represented by book-entry (“Book-Entry Shares”) shall be required to deliver a Certificate or, in the case of holders of Book-Entry Shares held through The Depositary Trust Company, an executed letter of transmittal to the Paying Agent to receive the Merger Consideration that such holder is entitled to receive pursuant to Section 2.3(a).  In lieu thereof, each holder of record of one or more Book-Entry Shares held through The Depositary Trust Company whose Company Shares were converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration shall, upon the receipt of an “agent’s message” by the Paying Agent, be entitled to receive, and Parent shall cause the Paying Agent to pay and deliver as promptly as practicable after the Effective Time, in respect of each such Book-Entry Share a cash amount in immediately available funds equal to the Merger Consideration (net of applicable withholding of Taxes as provided in Section 2.8 and without interest), and such Book-Entry Shares of such holder shall forthwith be canceled.  As soon as practicable after the Effective Time (and in no event later than five (5) Business Days after the Effective Time), the Surviving Corporation shall cause the Paying Agent to mail to each Person that was, immediately prior to the Effective Time, a holder of record of Book-Entry Shares not held through The Depositary Trust Company:  (i) a letter of transmittal, which shall be in such form as the Company, Parent and the Paying Agent shall reasonably agree; and (ii) instructions for returning such letter of transmittal in exchange for the Merger Consideration.  Upon delivery of such letter of transmittal, in accordance with the terms of such letter of transmittal, duly executed, the holder of such Book-Entry Shares shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor a cash amount in immediately available funds equal to the Merger Consideration (net of applicable withholding of Taxes as provided in Section 2.8 and without interest), and such Book-Entry Shares so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled.  Payment of the Merger Consideration with respect to Book-Entry Shares shall only be made to the Person in whose name such Book-Entry Shares are registered.  No interest will be paid or accrued on any amount payable upon due surrender of Book-Entry Shares.  Until paid or surrendered as contemplated hereby, each Book-Entry Share shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive the Merger Consideration in cash, net of applicable withholding of Taxes as provided in Section 2.8 and without interest, as contemplated by this Agreement, except for Book-Entry Shares representing Company Shares held by Dissenting Stockholders, which, subject to Section 2.6, shall be deemed to represent the right to receive payment of the fair value of such Company Shares in accordance with and to the extent provided by Section 262 of the DGCL.

9

(c)                               Transfer Books; No Further Ownership Rights in Shares.  At the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed and thereafter there shall be no further registration of transfers of Company Shares on the records of the Company.  From and after the Effective Time, the holders of Certificates and Book-Entry Shares outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall cease to have any rights with respect to such Company Shares except as otherwise provided for herein or by Law.  If, after the Effective Time, Certificates are presented to the Surviving Corporation for any reason, they shall be cancelled and exchanged as provided in this Agreement.

(d)                             Termination of Fund; Abandoned Property; No Liability.  Any portion of the funds (including any interest received with respect thereto) made available to the Paying Agent that remains unclaimed by the holders of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares nine (9) months after the Effective Time will be returned to the Surviving Corporation or an Affiliate thereof designated by the Surviving Corporation, upon demand, and any such holder who has not tendered its Certificates or Book-Entry Shares for the Merger Consideration in accordance with Section 2.5(b) prior to such time shall thereafter look only to the Surviving Corporation (subject to abandoned property, escheat or other similar Laws) for delivery of the Merger Consideration, without interest and net of applicable withholding of Taxes as provided in Section 2.8, in respect of such holder’s surrender of their Certificates or Book-Entry Shares and compliance with the procedures in Section 2.5(b).  Any Merger Consideration remaining unclaimed by the holders of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares immediately prior to such time as such amounts would otherwise escheat to, or become property of, any Governmental Authority will, to the extent permitted by Law, become the property of the Surviving Corporation or an Affiliate thereof designated by the Surviving Corporation, free and clear of any claim or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of Parent, Purchaser, the Surviving Corporation, the Paying Agent or their respective affiliates will be liable to any holder of a Certificate or Book-Entry Shares for Merger Consideration delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law.

(e)                               Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates.  In the event that any Certificates shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, the Paying Agent shall issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificates, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the holder thereof, the Merger Consideration payable in respect thereof pursuant to Section 2.3(a) hereof; provided, however, that Purchaser may, in its sole discretion and as a condition precedent to the payment of such Merger Consideration, require the owners of such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificates to deliver a bond in a reasonable sum as it may reasonably direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against Parent, Purchaser, the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent with respect to the Certificates alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.

2.6                                        Dissenting Shares.  Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary (but subject to the provisions of this Section 2.6), Company Shares outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and held by a holder who is entitled to demand and has properly demanded appraisal for such Company Shares in accordance with, and who complies in all respects with, Section 262 of the DGCL (such Company Shares, the “Dissenting Shares”, and such holder, a “Dissenting Stockholder”) shall not be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration.  At the Effective Time, all Dissenting Shares shall be cancelled and cease to exist, and the holders of Dissenting Shares shall only be entitled to the rights granted to them under the DGCL.  If any such holder fails to perfect or otherwise waives, withdraws or loses his right to appraisal under Section 262 of the DGCL or other Law, then the right of such holder to be paid the fair value of such Dissenting Shares shall cease and such Dissenting Shares shall be deemed to have been converted, as of the Effective Time, into and shall be exchangeable solely for the right to receive the Merger Consideration, without interest and net of applicable withholding of Taxes as provided in Section 2.8.  The Company shall give Parent prompt notice of any demands received by the Company for appraisal of Company Shares, attempted withdrawals of such demands and any other instruments served pursuant to the DGCL and received by the Company relating to rights to be paid the fair value of Dissenting Shares.  Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of Parent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), voluntarily make any payment with respect to, or settle or compromise or offer to settle or compromise, any such demands.

(a)                               No Assumption of Awards.  No Company Options or Company Restricted Shares shall, for purposes of the Company Stock Plans or otherwise, be continued, converted, assumed or replaced by the Surviving Corporation in connection with the Transactions.

(b)                              Treatment of Vested Options.  Immediately prior to the Effective Time, each outstanding, unexpired and unexercised Company Option that is vested and exercisable or that, by the terms of the applicable Company Stock Plan or award agreement, would automatically become vested and exercisable as a result of the occurrence of the Transactions (the “Vested Options”) shall be cancelled and, in exchange therefor, each former holder of any such cancelled Vested Option shall be entitled to receive, in consideration for the cancellation of such Vested Option in settlement therefor, a payment in cash (net of applicable withholding of Taxes as provided in Section 2.8 and without interest) of an amount equal to the product of (i) the total number of Company Shares subject to such Vested Option immediately prior to such cancellation and (ii) the excess, if any, of the Merger Consideration over the exercise price per Company Share subject to such Vested Option immediately prior to such cancellation (such amounts payable hereunder being referred to as the “Option Payments”).  For the avoidance of doubt, no holder of a Vested Option that, as of immediately prior to such cancellation, has an exercise price per Company Share that is equal to or greater than the Merger Consideration shall be entitled to any payment with respect to such cancelled Vested Option, which shall be cancelled without consideration therefor.  From and after the Effective Time, each Vested Option shall no longer be exercisable by the former holder thereof, but shall only entitle such holder to the payment of the Option Payment, if any.  As soon as practicable following the Closing, but in any event on or prior to the next applicable payroll payment date (but no later than fifteen (15) days) following the Closing, the Surviving Corporation shall make by a payroll payment through the Company’s or Purchaser’s payroll provider or a payment through the Company’s stock plan administrator and net of applicable withholding of Taxes as provided in Section 2.8 and without interest thereon, to each holder of Vested Options such holder’s Option Payment.

11

(c)                               Treatment of Vested Restricted Shares.  Immediately prior to the Effective Time, each award of Company Restricted Shares that is outstanding and vested or that, by the terms of the applicable Company Stock Plan or award agreement, would automatically become vested as a result of the Transactions (the “Vested Restricted Shares”) shall be cancelled and, in exchange therefor, each former holder of any such cancelled Vested Restricted Shares shall be entitled to receive, in consideration of the cancellation of such Vested Restricted Shares and in settlement therefor, a payment in cash (subject to any applicable withholding of Taxes as provided in Section 2.8 and without interest), equal to the product of (i) the total number of Vested Restricted Shares immediately prior to such cancellation (which, in the case of awards of performance-vesting Vested Restricted Shares, shall be calculated “Target Level” performance (as defined in the applicable award agreement governing such Vested Restricted Shares)) and (ii) the Merger Consideration (such amounts payable hereunder being referred to as the “Restricted Share Payments”).  As soon as practicable following the Closing, but in any event on or prior to the next applicable payroll payment date (but no later than fifteen (15) days) following the Closing, the Surviving Corporation shall make by a payroll payment through the Company’s or Purchaser’s payroll provider or a payment through the Company’s stock plan administrator net of applicable withholding of Taxes as provided in Section 2.8 and without interest thereon to each holder of Vested Restricted Shares such holder’s Restricted Share Payment.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Offer shall not apply to the Vested Restricted Shares, and no Vested Restricted Shares may be tendered pursuant to the Offer.

(d)                             Company Share Purchase Plan.  Prior to the Effective Time, the Company may continue to operate the Company Share Purchase Plan in accordance with its terms; provided, that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Company Share Purchase Plan, (i) the Company shall not permit any individual to, and no individual shall, increase the amount of an existing election, or make a new election, with respect to payroll deductions thereunder; (ii) the offering period ongoing as of the date of this Agreement shall be the final offering period under the Company Share Purchase Plan and the currently outstanding purchase rights under the Company Share Purchase Plan shall be exercised immediately prior to the earlier of (x) the next regularly scheduled Trading Window (as defined in the Company Share Purchase Plan) under the Company Share Purchase Plan or (y) the date that is seven Business Days prior to the Effective Date (such date, the “Final Enrollment Date”) and any participant payroll deductions not applied to the purchase of Company Common Stock on the Final Enrollment Date shall be returned to participants pursuant to the terms of the Company Share Purchase Plan; and (iii) no additional options shall be granted upon or after such Final Enrollment Date.  The Company shall terminate the Company Share Purchase Plan, effective as of the Effective Time.

12

(e)                               Board Actions.  Prior to the Effective Time, the Company Board (or, if appropriate, any committee thereof) shall adopt appropriate resolutions and take all other actions as it deems necessary and appropriate to effect the transactions described in this Section 2.7.

2.8                                        Withholding Rights.  Each of Parent, Purchaser, the Surviving Corporation and the Paying Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any amounts otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement, such amounts that Parent, Purchaser, the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code, the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder or any provision of Law.  To the extent that amounts are so withheld by Parent, Purchaser, the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.  Parent, the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, shall timely remit to the appropriate Governmental Authority any and all amounts so deducted or withheld.

2.9                                        Necessary Further Actions.  Each of the Company, Parent and Purchaser agree to take all necessary action to cause the Merger to become effective as soon as practicable following the Acceptance Time without a meeting of the Company’s stockholders, as provided in Section 251(h) of the DGCL and upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement.  In furtherance, and without limiting the generality, of the foregoing, neither Parent nor Purchaser shall, and each of Parent and Purchaser shall cause their respective Affiliates and Representatives not to, take any action that could render Section 251(h) of the DGCL inapplicable to the Merger.  If, at any time after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall consider or be advised that any deeds, bills of sale, assignments, assurances or any other actions or things are necessary or desirable to continue, vest, perfect or confirm of record or otherwise the Surviving Corporation’s right, title or interest in, to or under, or duty or obligation with respect to, any of the property, rights, privileges, powers or franchises, or any of the debts or Liabilities, of the Company as a result of, or in connection with, the Merger, or otherwise to carry out the intent of this Agreement, the officers and directors of the Surviving Corporation shall be authorized to execute and deliver, in the name and on behalf of the Company, all such deeds, bills of sale, assignments, assumptions and assurances and to take and do, in the name and on behalf of the Company or otherwise, all such other actions and things as may be necessary or desirable to continue, vest, perfect or confirm of record or otherwise any and all right, title and interest in, to and under, or duty or obligation with respect to, such property, rights, privileges, powers or franchises, or any such debts or Liabilities, in the Surviving Corporation or otherwise to carry out the intent of this Agreement.

45

(b)        Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 5.3(a), if at any time following the date hereof and prior to the Acceptance Time the Company or any of its Representatives receives a bona fide unsolicited written Competing Proposal from a Third Party (which Competing Proposal was initially made after the date of this Agreement and did not result from a breach of this Section 5.3), and if the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with the Company’s outside legal and financial advisors, and based on information then available, that such Competing Proposal constitutes or would reasonably be expected to lead to a Superior Proposal, then the Company and its Representatives may furnish information concerning the Company and its Subsidiaries to such Third Party making the Competing Proposal and engage in discussions or negotiations with such Third Party with respect to such Competing Proposal; provided, that (A) prior to so furnishing such information or engaging in any such discussions or negotiations, the Company receives from such Third Party an executed Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement and (B) any non-public information concerning the Company or its Subsidiaries provided or made available to such Third Party shall, to the extent not previously provided or made available to Parent, also be promptly (and in any event within twenty-four (24) hours after it is provided or made available to such Third Party) provided or made available to Parent.  The Company shall promptly (and in any event within twenty-four (24) hours) notify Parent in the event that the Company or any of its Representatives receives a Competing Proposal and shall disclose to Parent the material terms and conditions of any such Competing Proposal (including the identity of the Third Party making such Competing Proposal).  The Company shall (i) promptly (and in any event within twenty-four (24) hours) notify Parent of any material change to the material terms of any such Competing Proposal of which the Company has been informed, or any determination by the Company Board that any Competing Proposal constitutes or would reasonably be expected to lead to a Superior Proposal, (ii) promptly notify Parent of (A) any material negotiation sessions between such Third Party or its Representatives on the one hand, and the Company or its Representatives, on the other hand, including providing a high-level summary of the material terms and conditions discussed in such material negotiation session and (B) if the Company, or such Third Party has informed the Company that it, has decided to not pursue such Competing Proposal and (iii) provide to Parent as soon as practicable (and in any event within twenty-four (24) hours) after receipt or delivery thereof of any written indication of interest (or amendment thereto) or any written material that constitutes an offer (or amendment thereto) including copies of any proposed Alternative Acquisition Agreements and any financing commitments related thereto.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may, following the receipt of a Competing Proposal, contact such Third Party to clarify and understand the terms and conditions thereof to facilitate the Company Board’s determination with respect to whether such Competing Proposal constitutes or would reasonably be expected to lead to a Superior Proposal.

46

(c)        Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 5.3(a), (i) if (A) the Company receives a bona fide unsolicited written Competing Proposal that the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with outside counsel and its financial advisors, constitutes a Superior Proposal and (B) the Company determines in good faith, after consultation with outside counsel, that the failure to take such action would be inconsistent with the fiduciary duties owed by the Company Board to the Company and the stockholders of the Company under Law, then the Company Board may make an Adverse Recommendation Change or terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1(e) to enter into a definitive agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal; and (ii) the Company Board may make an Adverse Recommendation Change in response to material events, changes or developments in circumstances that were not known to or reasonably foreseeable by the Company Board as of or prior to the date hereof and becomes known to the Company Board after the date hereof and prior to the Acceptance Time if the failure to take such action would be inconsistent with the fiduciary duties owed by the Company Board to the Company and the stockholders of the Company under Law; provided, that the Company Board may not make an Adverse Recommendation Change or terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 5.3(c) unless:

(1)     the Company shall have first provided prior written notice to Parent, at least four (4) Business Days in advance (the “Notice Period”), of the Company’s intention to take any action permitted under this Section 5.3(c), which notice shall, if applicable, specify the reasons for the proposed Adverse Recommendation Change and, if applicable, the material terms and conditions of any Superior Proposal (including the identity of the Third Party making such Superior Proposal) and, if applicable, provide a copy of the relevant proposed transaction agreement; and

(2)     prior to making an Adverse Recommendation Change and/or terminating this Agreement to enter into a definitive agreement with respect to a Superior Proposal, the Company shall, and shall use reasonable best efforts to cause its Representatives to, during the Notice Period, negotiate with Parent in good faith (to the extent Parent desires to negotiate) to make such adjustments in the terms and conditions of this Agreement so that, (x) in the case of Section 5.3(c)(i), such Competing Proposal ceases to constitute a Superior Proposal and (y) in the case of Section 5.3(c)(i) or Section 5.3(c)(ii), the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with outside counsel, that the failure to make an Adverse Recommendation Change would not be inconsistent with the fiduciary duties owed by the Company Board to the Company and the stockholders of the Company under Law.  In the event of any material revisions to a Competing Proposal constituting a Superior Proposal, the Company shall be required to deliver a new written notice to Parent and to comply with the requirements of this Section 5.3(c) with respect to such new written notice, except that references to the four (4) Business Day period above shall be deemed to be references to a two (2) Business Day period.

47

For the avoidance of doubt, if Parent, within four (4) Business Days following its receipt of a Superior Proposal notice makes an offer that, as determined in good faith by the Company Board (after consultation with its outside counsel and financial advisors), results in the applicable Competing Proposal no longer being a Superior Proposal, then the Company shall have no right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1(e) as a result of such Competing Proposal.

(d)       Nothing in this Section 5.3 or elsewhere in this Agreement shall prohibit the Company or the Company Board or any committee thereof from (i) taking and disclosing to the stockholders of the Company a position contemplated by Rule 14e-2(a) or Rule 14d-9 promulgated under the Exchange Act or Item 1012(a) of Regulation M-A promulgated under the Exchange Act, (ii) making any “stop, look and listen” communication to the stockholders of the Company pursuant to Rule 14d-9(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act or (iii) making any disclosure to the stockholders of the Company that is required by Law; provided, that this Section 5.3(d) shall not permit the Company Board to make an Adverse Recommendation Changes except as otherwise set forth expressly in this Section 5.3.

5.11                                Approval of Compensation Arrangements.  Prior to the consummation of the Offer, the Company shall take any action necessary to ensure that any Compensation Arrangements entered into by the Company or its Subsidiaries after the date of this Agreement (or not previously approved as contemplated by Section 3.2(c)) have been approved by the Compensation Committee of the Company Board as contemplated by Rule 14d-10(d)(2) of the Exchange Act.

56

5.17                                Payoff of Existing Company Indebtedness.  The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (a) obtain customary payoff letters reasonably acceptable to Parent from all financial institutions and other Persons to which indebtedness for borrowed money of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is owed, or the applicable agent, trustee or other representative on behalf of such Persons, which payoff letters together with any related release documentation shall, among other things, include the payoff amount and provide in substance reasonably acceptable to Parent, among other things, that Liens and guarantees, if any, granted in connection therewith related to the assets, rights and properties of the Company and its Subsidiaries securing such indebtedness for borrowed money and any other obligations secured thereby shall be, upon the payment of the amount set forth in the applicable payoff letter at or prior to the consummation of the Offer be released and terminated and (b) deliver or cause to be delivered such payoff letters, together with the related release documentation, to Parent at the consummation of the Offer.  At the consummation of the Offer, subject to Parent making available necessary funds to do so, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to, and shall cause the Company’s Subsidiaries to, permanently (i) terminate the credit facilities requested by Parent to be so terminated, and all related Contracts to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party and (ii) cause to be released any guarantees and any Liens on its assets relating to such terminated credit facilities.

7.2                                        Effect of Termination.

(a)                               In the event of termination of this Agreement by either the Company or Purchaser as provided in Section 7.1, written notice thereof shall be given to the other party or parties, specifying the provisions hereof pursuant to which such termination is made and the basis therefor described in reasonable detail, and this Agreement shall become void and there shall be no liability or obligation on the part of Parent, Purchaser or the Company or their respective Subsidiaries, officers or directors except with respect to this Section 7.2 and Article 8 (General Provisions); provided, however, that, subject to Section 7.2(g), nothing in this Agreement shall relieve any of Parent, Purchaser or the Company of any liability for Fraud based upon, or any Willful Breach of, any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained herein occurring prior to termination, or as provided in the Confidentiality Agreement, in which case the aggrieved party shall be entitled to all rights and remedies available at law or in equity.

(b)                              In the event that this Agreement is terminated by Parent pursuant to Section 7.1(d), the Company shall pay to Parent an amount in cash equal to $6,014,095.55 (the “Termination Fee”).  A Termination Fee payable pursuant to this Section 7.2(b) shall be paid promptly, but in no event later than three (3) Business Days, following such termination.

(c)                               In the event that this Agreement is terminated by the Company pursuant to Section 7.1(e), the Company shall pay to Parent the Termination Fee.  A Termination Fee payable pursuant to this Section 7.2(c) shall be paid concurrently with and as a condition to the termination of this Agreement.

(d)                              (i) In the event this Agreement is terminated by Parent or the Company (x) pursuant to Section 7.1(b), or (y) by Parent pursuant to Section 7.1(f) and the Minimum Condition has not been satisfied prior to such termination, (ii) following the execution and delivery of this Agreement and prior to such termination of this Agreement, a Competing Proposal (with all references to “fifteen percent (15%)” in the definition thereof being treated as references to “fifty percent (50%)” for purposes of this Section 7.2(d)) shall have been publicly announced or shall have become publicly disclosed; and (iii) within twelve (12) months following such termination of this Agreement, either (A) the Company enters into a definitive agreement with respect to a Competing Proposal and such Competing Proposal is later consummated or (B) the Company otherwise consummates a Competing Transaction, the Company shall pay to Parent the Termination Fee.  A Termination Fee payable pursuant to this Section 7.2(d) shall be paid promptly, but in no event later than three (3) Business Days, following the consummation of such Competing Transaction.

8.16                                Specific Performance.  The parties hereto agree that if any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached, irreparable damage would occur, no adequate remedy at Law would exist and damages would be difficult to determine, and accordingly, (a) the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to specific performance of the terms hereof, in each case in the Delaware Court of Chancery and any state appellate court therefrom within the State of Delaware (or, if the Delaware Court of Chancery declines to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, any state or federal court within the State of Delaware), this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at Law or in equity, (b) the parties waive any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with the obtaining of any specific performance or injunctive relief and (c) the parties will waive, in any action for specific performance, the defense of adequacy of a remedy at Law.  Any party’s pursuit of specific performance at any time will not be deemed an election of remedies or waiver of the right to pursue any other right or remedy to which such party may be entitled, including, except as provided in Section 7.2(g), the right to pursue remedies for liabilities or damages incurred or suffered by such party in the case of a breach of this Agreement involving fraud or Willful Breach.
