(a) Company Common Stock. Each share of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than any shares of Company Common Stock to be canceled pursuant to Section 3.1(c) and Dissenting Shares referred to in Section 3.7) shall be converted, subject to the other provisions of Section 3.1 and Sections 3.5(e) and 3.7, into the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration.

(b) First Equalization Purchase Price Adjustment. The Purchase Price shall be increased by the amount of $675,000 (such increase, if any, the “First Equalization Purchase Price Adjustment”), if on or prior to the Closing Date, the Company provides the Parent with (i) an amendment to the governing documents of the UK Pension, together with documentary or other evidence providing the Parent with reasonable assurance that such amendment was properly adopted and properly executed in accordance with all necessary legal formalities as required by the UK Pension governing documents providing for the equalization of retirement ages at least for future pensionable service for male and female members of the UK Pension in accordance with UK legislation for all benefits provided by the UK Pension except in relation to the statutory guaranteed minimum pension benefits with such amendment beginning on or about November or December, 1990, and (ii) documentary or other evidence providing the Parent with reasonable assurance of the proper administration of the UK Pension in accordance with such amendment, like for example, a statement from the UK Pension’s current pension administrator stating that this has occurred and a statement from the UK Pension’s actuary that this amendment has been funded for in the last valuation prepared with respect to the UK Pension.

(c) Second Equalization Purchase Price Adjustment.

(d) Presumption as to Documents. The Company and the Parent agree that consistent with governing law in the United Kingdom, proper execution of the amendments and other documents referenced in clauses (a), (b) and (c) above by the parties to such amendments and other documents will be presumed unless evidence contrary to such presumption has been located.

Each of Parent and the Company shall use its reasonable efforts to take such action as may be required to cause the expiration or termination of the waiting or notice periods under the HSR Act or other Antitrust Laws with respect to such transactions as promptly as possible after the execution of this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, Parent and the Company shall take any and all of the following actions to the extent necessary to obtain the approval of any Governmental Entity with jurisdiction over the enforcement of any applicable Laws regarding the transactions contemplated hereby: (i) entering into negotiations, (ii) providing information required by Law, and (iii) substantially complying with any “second request” for information pursuant to the Antitrust Laws.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Agreement, nothing in this Section 6.5 shall require, or be construed to require, the Company to take or to refrain from taking any action, to agree to any disposition or restriction with respect to any assets or operations of the Company or any Company Subsidiary, or to cause any Company Subsidiary to do or agree to do any of the foregoing, if any such action, failure to act, restriction or agreement would have a Material Adverse Effect.

(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Agreement, nothing in this Section 6.5 shall limit a party’s right to terminate the Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(b) so long as such party has until such date complied in all material respects with its obligations under this Section 6.5.

6.6 Certain Notices. Each of the Company, Parent and Merger Sub, as the case may be, will notify the other parties in writing promptly after learning of (a) any notice or other communication from any Person alleging that the Consent of such Person is or may be required in connection with the Merger, (b) any notice or other communication from any Governmental Entity in connection with the Merger or (c) any change, occurrence or event that would have a Material Adverse Effect, or that is reasonably likely to cause any of the conditions to closing set forth in Article 7 not to be satisfied. Each of Parent, Merger Sub and the Company shall give prompt notice to the other parties of any representation or warranty made by it contained in this Agreement becoming untrue or inaccurate in any material respect if such untruth or inaccuracy would reasonably be expected to cause any condition set forth in Article 7 not to be satisfied, or any failure by it to comply with or satisfy in any material respect any covenant, condition or agreement to be complied with or satisfied by it under this Agreement.

6.7 Indemnification and Insurance.

(a) From and after the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to fulfill and honor the obligations of the Company for indemnification and advancement of expenses in favor of each D&O Indemnified Party under the Company Articles of Incorporation or Company Bylaws or the certificates or articles of incorporation, bylaws, and other organizational documents of the Company Subsidiaries and any indemnification agreement set forth in Section 6.7 (a) of the Company Disclosure Letter to which such D&O Indemnified Party is a party, in each case, in accordance with the terms of such articles, bylaws and agreements as in existence as of the date of this Agreement with respect to acts and occurrences occurring prior to the Effective Time. The articles of incorporation and code of regulations of the Surviving Corporation will contain provisions with respect to indemnification which are at least as favorable to the D&O Indemnified Parties as those contained in the Company Articles of Incorporation and Company Bylaws as in effect on the date of this Agreement.

(b) On or prior to the Closing, the Company may purchase, and pre-pay in full any premiums with respect to, a six (6) year “tail” on the current directors’ and officers’ liability insurance maintained by the Company and/or the Company Subsidiaries (the “New D&O Tail”). As of the Effective Time, Parent will cause the Surviving Corporation to assume such “tail” policy, and Parent agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to maintain in effect the New D&O Tail for the duration of its term without amendment or cancellation; provided, however, that such efforts shall not require payment of any additional premiums or other amounts by the Surviving Corporation or Parent.

(c) In the event the Surviving Corporation or any of its successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, in each such case, proper provisions shall be made so that the successors and assigns of the Surviving Corporation, or at Parent’s option, Parent, shall assume the obligations set forth in this Section 6.7.

(d) This Section 6.7 shall survive the consummation of the Merger, is intended to benefit each of the D&O Indemnified Parties, shall be binding on all successors and assigns of the Surviving Corporation and Parent, shall be enforceable by each D&O Indemnified Party and his or her heirs and representatives, and may not be amended, altered or repealed with respect to any D&O Indemnified Party after the Effective Time without the prior written consent of such D&O Indemnified Party (provided that any amendment, alteration or repeal prior to the Effective Time shall be governed by Section 8.3).

6.8 Employees; Employee Benefits.

(a) It is anticipated by the Acquirors that each individual who was an employee of the Company or a Company Subsidiary immediately prior to the Effective Time shall continue his or her employment with the Surviving Corporation upon the Effective Time (including each such individual who is on vacation, temporary layoff, leave of absence, sick leave or short or long–term disability leave) (each, a “Continuing Employee”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, after the Effective Time, each Continuing Employee shall be employed solely on an “at will” basis and none of the Company, any Company Subsidiary, the Parent, any Parent Subsidiary, or the Surviving Corporation shall be required to continue the employment of any particular Continuing Employee, except to the extent required by the provisions of a written employment Contract or as required by applicable Law.

(b) After the Effective Time, the Acquirors shall continue (or cause the Surviving Corporation to continue) coverage of the Continuing Employees under the general health and welfare plans and the Company 401(k) Savings Plan included in the Company Benefit Plans until March 31, 2009. Thereafter, the Continuing Employees shall either be eligible to participate in any employee benefit plans thereafter adopted by the Company, or to participate in the employee benefit plans of Parent in accordance with the eligibility criteria thereof. If such Continuing Employees participate in the benefit plans of Parent, (i) such Continuing Employees shall receive full credit for years of service with the Company or the Company Subsidiaries prior to the Merger for all purposes for which such service was recognized under the Company Benefit Plans including recognition of service for eligibility and vesting, and (ii) such Continuing Employee shall participate in the employee benefit plans of Parent on terms no less favorable than those offered by the Parent to similarly situated employees of Parent. The Acquirors shall use all reasonable efforts to waive all limitations as to pre-existing conditions, exclusions, evidence of insurability requirements and waiting periods with respect to participation and coverage requirements

applicable to the Continuing Employees under any welfare or fringe benefit plan in which the Continuing Employees may be eligible to participate after the Effective Time. The Continuing Employees shall be entitled to the severance benefits available to similarly situated employees of Parent under the Parent’s severance policies in existence at the time of such Continuing Employee’s termination of employment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the foregoing covenants of Acquirors shall not in any manner apply to the UK Pension or the obligations of any party thereunder or with respect thereto.

(c) Conditional upon the closing of the Merger, Parent agrees that it shall cause the Surviving Company to pay to the participants cash amounts which become due and payable to such participants under the bonus plans of the Company identified in Section 6.8(c) of the Company Disclosure Letter in accordance with the applicable plan terms for performance ending on March 31, 2009.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 6.8 does not amend any provision of any Company Benefit Plan and is not intended to and shall not require the Acquirors to continue any Company Benefit Plan beyond the time when it otherwise lawfully could be terminated or modified. Nothing herein expressed or implied by this Agreement shall confer upon any Continuing Employee, or legal representative thereof, any rights or remedies, including, without limitation, any right to continued employment.

6.9 Reasonable Efforts; Cooperation.

(a) Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 6.5(d), each of the parties hereto agrees to use reasonable efforts, and to cooperate with each other party hereto, to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, all things reasonably necessary, appropriate or desirable to consummate and make effective, in the most expeditious manner practicable, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby, including (i) taking all reasonable actions necessary to satisfy the respective conditions set forth in Article 7 and (ii) executing and delivering such other instruments and doing and performing such other acts and things as may be necessary or reasonably desirable to effect completely the consummation of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby.

(b) The Company and Parent shall cooperate and use commercially reasonable efforts to secure with respect to the Real Properties prior to the Closing Date (i) estoppel letters, (ii) non-disturbance agreements, and (iii) landlord lien waivers; provided that commercially reasonable efforts shall not require payments of any amounts by the Company, any Company Subsidiary or Parent (other than reasonable attorney’s fees). Additionally, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain Consents with respect to the Contracts listed on Schedule C attached hereto.

6.10 Public Announcements. Parent and the Company shall consult with each other before issuing any press release, making any other public statement or scheduling any press conference or conference call with investors or analysts with respect to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(b) In the event all or any portion of the Financing contemplated by the Financing Commitment Letter becomes unavailable for any reason, Parent shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to arrange to obtain, as promptly as practicable following the occurrence of such event, alternative debt or equity financing (the “Alternative Financing”) in an amount sufficient to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided, however, that for purposes of this Agreement such alternative debt or equity financing shall exclude the first $129.5 million of net proceeds received by Parent from its public offering of shares of its Class A Common Stock as contemplated by the preliminary prospectus supplement for such offering expected to be filed by Parent with the SEC on or about February 2, 2009.

(c) Parent shall give the Company prompt written notice of any termination of the Financing proposal contemplated by the Financing Commitment Letter (or commitments for any Alternative Financing obtained in accordance with Section 6.11 (b)) of which Parent becomes aware. Parent shall keep the Company informed on a reasonably current basis in reasonable detail of the status of its efforts to arrange the Financing (or Alternative Financing obtained in accordance with Section 6.11(b)).

(d) Parent shall not utilize the Financing to fund any other acquisition contemplated as of the date of this Agreement in any manner that would limit the availability of the portion of the Financing designated to fund and close the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

6.12 Tax Matters.

(a) Preparation and Filing of Tax Returns. The Company, at its expense, shall cause the Company and each Company Subsidiary to timely prepare and file any Tax Return (or amendment thereto) required to be filed by the Company and each Company Subsidiary with respect to any Tax period ending on or prior to the Closing Date (“Pre-Closing Tax Periods”), to the extent such Tax Return (or amendment) is required to be filed on or before the Closing Date (determined with regard to extensions). All such Tax Returns shall be prepared using accounting methods that were used in preparing the relevant Tax Returns for prior taxable periods. The Company shall permit Parent to review and comment upon such Tax Returns, and shall not file such Tax Returns without the Parent’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Parent shall file or cause to be filed when due all Tax Returns in respect of the Company and each Company Subsidiary: (i) for all Tax periods beginning after the Closing Date; (ii) for all Pre-Closing Tax Periods to the extent the Tax Returns in respect of such Tax periods are due after the Closing Date (determined with regard to extensions); and (iii) for all Tax periods relating to the Company and each Company Subsidiary that commence on or before the Closing Date and end after the Closing Date (each, a “Straddle Period”), including any Tax Return of the Company and each Company Subsidiary due on or after the Closing Date (determined with regard to extensions).

(b) Elections and Settlements. Without the prior written consent of Parent, which consent shall not be unreasonably, withheld, conditioned, or delayed, neither the Company nor any Company Subsidiary shall make or change any election, file any amended Tax Return, enter into any closing agreement, settle any Tax claim or assessment, surrender any right to claim a refund of Taxes, consent to any extension or waiver of the limitation period applicable to any Tax claim or assessment, or take any other action or omit to take any action, if any such election, amendment, agreement, settlement, surrender, consent or other action or omission may have the effect of increasing the Tax liability, or decreasing any Tax asset, of the Company, any Company Subsidiary, Parent, or any affiliate of Parent.

(c) Nonforeign Affidavit. Each Payee shall furnish the Parent an affidavit, stating, under penalties of perjury, its United States taxpayer identification numbers and that the transferor is not a foreign person, pursuant to Section 1445(b)(2) of the Code.

The Acquiror hereby agree to file all necessary documentation (including, but not limited to, all tax returns) with respect to all such amounts in a timely manner consistent with this Section 6.12(d).

6.13 Repayment of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Notes. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the aggregate consideration payable to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇. pursuant to Article 3 shall be reduced by all amounts due to the Company from ▇▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ under (x) that certain Promissory Note payable to the order of the Company in the original principal amount of $185,000.00, dated as of August 1, 2006 and (y) that certain Promissory Note payable to the order of the Company in the original principal amount of $370,000.00, dated as of August 1, 2006.

The Company shall, prior to the Closing Date: (i) take all actions in accordance with the Employee Plans Compliance Resolution System to remedy any operational failures with respect to the Company’s 401(k) Savings Plan, including without limitation, with respect to eligibility, and (ii) submit copies to Parent of all documentation necessary to demonstrate timely adoption of all required amendments within the remedial amendment period under Code Section 401(b).

In the event of termination of this Agreement by either the Company or Parent as provided in Section 8.1, this Agreement shall forthwith become void and there shall be no liability or obligation on the part of Parent or the Company or their respective Subsidiaries, officers, directors or shareholders, except (i) with respect to Section 6.3 (Confidentiality), this Section 8.2 (Effect of Termination) and Article 10 (General Provisions) and (ii) with respect to any liabilities or damages incurred or suffered by a party as a result of the willful and material breach by the other party of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or other agreements set forth in this Agreement.

(b) Company Termination Fee. The Company shall pay to Parent a termination fee of $5,000,000 (the “Company Termination Fee”) in immediately available funds in the event that this Agreement is terminated (i) by the Company pursuant to Section 8.1(f), or (ii) by Parent pursuant to Section 8.1(e) and, in the case of clause (ii), (A) at any time after the date of this Agreement and before the vote on this Agreement at the Company Shareholders Meeting, an Acquisition Proposal with respect to the Company shall have been publicly announced and not withdrawn and (B) the Company enters into a definitive agreement with respect to an Acquisition Proposal, or an Acquisition Proposal is consummated, within six (6) months following the termination of this Agreement. Payment of any amount described in this Section 8.2(b) shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of Parent and Merger Sub for termination of this Agreement. Any payment required to be made pursuant to Section 8.2(b)(ii) shall be made no later than two (2) Business Days after entering into of a definitive agreement with respect to, or the consummation of, an Acquisition Proposal. All payments under this Section 8.2(b) shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by Parent. The Company acknowledges that the agreements contained in this Section 8.2 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and that, without these agreements, Parent would not enter into this Agreement. Accordingly, if the Company fails promptly to pay any amount due to the other party pursuant to this Section 8.2 and, in order to obtain such payment, Parent commences a suit that results in a judgment against the Company for all or any portion of the amounts set forth in this Section 8.2, the Company shall pay to Parent its costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred in connection with such suit, together with interest on the aggregate amount of the fees and expenses at a rate equal to the prime rate reported in The Wall Street Journal on the date such payment was required to be made plus 2%.

(c) Reverse Termination Fee. Parent shall pay to the Company a termination fee of $3,000,000 in immediately available funds in the event that this Agreement is terminated (i) by either Parent or the Company pursuant to Section 8.1(b) and either the Financing or the Alternative Financing shall not have been consummated, unless either (A) the failure to consummate the Financing or the

Alternative Financing was not the principal cause of the failure of the Merger to occur, or (B) the failure to consummate the Financing or the Alternative Financing was caused by a breach by the Company of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements set forth in this Agreement, (ii) by the Company pursuant to Section 8.1(i), or (iii) by Parent pursuant to Section 8.1(j). Payment of the full amount described in this Section 8.2(c) shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Company for termination of this Agreement, unless (i) this Agreement is terminated either (A) by Parent or Company pursuant Section 8.1(b), or (B) by the Parent pursuant to Section 8.1(j), (ii) the failure to consummate the Financing or the Alternative Financing was not the principal cause of the failure of the Merger to occur, and (iii) the Company has not rejected payment of the amount described in this Section 8.2(c) on or before the third (3^rd) Business Day after delivery thereof. All payments under this Section 8.2(c) shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by the Company. Parent acknowledges that the agreements contained in this Section 8.2 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and that, without these agreements, the Company would not enter into this Agreement. Accordingly, if Parent fails promptly to pay any amount due to the other party pursuant to this Section 8.2 and, in order to obtain such payment, the Company commences a suit that results in a judgment against Parent for all or any portion of the amounts set forth in this Section 8.2, Parent shall pay to the Company its costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred in connection with such suit, together with interest on the aggregate amount of the fees and expenses at a rate equal to the prime rate reported in The Wall Street Journal on the date such payment was required to be made plus 2%.

8.3 Amendment. This Agreement may be amended by the parties hereto, whether before or after the Company Shareholders Approval has been obtained, at any time prior to the Effective Time; provided, however, that, after the Company Shareholders Approval has been obtained, no amendment may be made without further shareholder approval that by Law requires further approval by such shareholders. This Agreement may not be amended except by an instrument in writing signed by the parties hereto.

8.4 Waiver. At any time prior to the Effective Time, either Parent or Merger Sub, on the one hand, or the Company, on the other hand, may (a) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the other, (b) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties of the other contained herein or in any document delivered pursuant hereto, and (c) waive compliance by the other with any of the agreements or conditions contained herein. Any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed by Parent and the Company, but such extension or waiver or failure to insist on strict compliance with an obligation, covenant, agreement or condition shall not operate as a waiver of, or estoppel with respect to, any subsequent or other failure.

8.5 Fees and Expenses. Whether or not the Merger is consummated, except as provided in Sections 6.12(d) and 8.2, each party hereto shall be responsible and liable for, and shall pay, the Expenses incurred by such party.

10.3 Headings. The headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

10.4 Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of Law or public policy, all other terms and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party. Upon

such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner to the end that transactions contemplated hereby are fulfilled to the extent possible.

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

10.6 Assignment. None of this Agreement or any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder shall be assigned by any of the parties hereto, in whole or in part, by operation of Law or otherwise, without the prior written consent of the other parties, and any attempt to make any such assignment without such consent shall be null and void. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Merger Sub may assign, in its sole discretion, any and all rights, interests and obligations under this Agreement to any wholly owned Parent Subsidiary without the Company’s consent; provided, however, that no such assignment shall relieve the assigning party of its obligations hereunder.

10.7 Parties in Interest. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of each party hereto and their respective successors and assigns, and nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, other than pursuant to Section 6.7, is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person any right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement.

10.8 Mutual Drafting. Each party hereto has participated in the preparation and drafting of this Agreement, which each party acknowledges is the result of extensive negotiations between the parties.

10.9 Governing Law; Consent to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Trial by Jury.

(a) This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the Laws of the State of Ohio without reference to such state’s principles of conflicts of law.

(b) Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state courts of the State of Ohio or Federal court of the United States of America, located in the State of Ohio, and any appellate court from any 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 (i) agrees not to commence any such action or proceeding except in such courts, (ii) agrees that any claim in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such Ohio state court or, to the extent permitted by Law, in such Federal court, (iii) waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such action or proceeding in any such Ohio state or Federal court, and (iv) waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such Ohio state or Federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Law. Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 10.2. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by Law.

(c) EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY THAT MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE IT HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY OF THE AGREEMENTS DELIVERED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY. EACH PARTY CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (A) NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE EITHER OF SUCH WAIVERS, (B) IT UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF SUCH WAIVERS, (C) IT MAKES SUCH WAIVERS VOLUNTARILY, AND (D) IT HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 10.9(c).

10.10 Execution. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which will be deemed to be an original copy of this Agreement, and all of which, when taken together, shall be deemed to constitute one and the same agreement. The exchange of copies of this Agreement and of signature pages by facsimile or other electronic transmission shall constitute effective execution and delivery of this Agreement as to the parties and may be used in lieu of the original Agreement for all purposes. Signatures of the parties transmitted by facsimile or other electronic transmission shall be deemed to be their original signatures for any purpose whatsoever.

10.11 Remedies Cumulative; Specific Performance. Except as otherwise provided herein, any and all remedies herein expressly conferred upon a party hereto shall be deemed cumulative with and not exclusive of any other remedy conferred hereby, or by Law or equity upon such party, and the exercise by a party hereto of any one remedy shall not preclude the exercise of any other remedy and nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed a waiver by any party of any right to specific performance or injunctive relief. The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at Law or in equity. Each party hereto agrees to waive any requirement for the posting of, or securing of, a bond in connection with any such remedy.

10.12 Interpretation.

(a) When a reference is made in this Agreement to Articles, Sections, Exhibits or Schedules, such reference shall be to an Article or Section of, or an Exhibit or Schedule to, this Agreement unless otherwise indicated. Where a reference is made to a Law, such reference is to such Law as amended.

(b) The words “include,” “includes” and “including” when used herein shall be deemed in each case to be followed by the words “without limitation” to the extent such words are not so qualified. The phrases “provided to,” “furnished to,” and phrases of similar import when used herein, unless the context otherwise requires, shall mean that a true, correct and complete paper copy of the information or material referred to has been delivered to the party to whom such information or material is to be provided. Unless the context of this Agreement otherwise requires, (i) words of any gender include each other gender, (ii) words using the singular or plural number also include the plural or singular number, respectively, and (iii) the terms “hereof,” “herein,” “hereunder” and derivative or similar words refer to this entire Agreement.

10.13 Company Disclosure Letter. Any matter disclosed in any section of the Company Disclosure Letter disclosure schedule shall, should it be apparent on its face that is it also applicable to any other paragraph or section of the Agreement, be considered disclosed with respect to such other paragraph or Section of the Agreement. The provision of monetary or other quantitative thresholds for disclosure does not and shall not be deemed to create or imply a standard of materiality hereunder. If, subsequent to the date of this Agreement and prior to the Closing Date, one or more events occur that render untrue any representation or warranty of the Company (each, a “Subsequent Event”), the Company shall deliver prior to Closing to Parent an amended or supplemental Schedule (the “Subsequent Disclosure Schedule”) which will contain a description of all such Subsequent Events. The existence of any Subsequent Event which is disclosed on the Subsequent Disclosure Schedule shall not constitute any breach by the Company of any representations or warranties hereunder or form a basis for any indemnification or other claim by the Parent hereunder, but shall be taken into account in determining whether conditions precedent have been satisfied; provided, however, that the immediately preceding language is not intended to permit the Company to alter or amend the representations and warranties as made herein as of the date of this Agreement and shall not cure the inaccuracy thereof as of the date of this Agreement for any purpose under this Agreement.
