Section 1.01 The Offer.

(a) Provided that this Agreement shall not have been terminated in accordance with Article VII, within ten Business Days after the date of this Agreement, Merger Sub shall (and Parent shall cause Merger Sub to) commence (within the meaning of Rule 14d‑2 under the Exchange Act) the Offer.

(b) In accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and subject only to the satisfaction or waiver (to the extent such waiver is permitted by applicable Law) by Merger Sub of the conditions set forth in Annex I (collectively, the “Offer Conditions”) and, for the avoidance of doubt, no other conditions, Merger Sub shall (and Parent shall cause Merger Sub to), at or as promptly as practicable following the Expiration Time, irrevocably accept for payment (the time of acceptance for payment, the “Offer Acceptance Time”) and, at or as promptly as practicable following the Offer Acceptance Time (but in any event within three Business Days (calculated as set forth in Rule 14d‑1(g)(3) under the Exchange Act) thereafter) pay for all shares of Company Common Stock validly tendered and not validly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer at a price per share of Company Common Stock equal to the Offer Price, net to the seller in cash, without interest. The consummation of the Offer, and the obligation of Merger Sub to accept for payment and pay for Company Common Stock tendered pursuant to the Offer, shall be subject only to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and to the satisfaction, or waiver (to the extent such waiver is permitted by applicable Law) by Merger Sub, of the Offer Conditions.

- 2 -

(c) The Offer shall be made by means of an offer to purchase (the “Offer to Purchase”) in accordance with the terms set forth in this Agreement and subject only to the Minimum Condition and the other Offer Conditions. Merger Sub expressly reserves the right (in its sole discretion) to (i) increase the Offer Price, (ii) waive any Offer Condition other than the Minimum Condition and (iii) make any other changes to the terms and conditions of the Offer not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement; provided that unless otherwise expressly provided by this Agreement, without the prior written consent of the Company, Merger Sub shall not, and Parent shall cause Merger Sub not to, (A) decrease the Offer Price, (B) change the form of consideration payable in the Offer, (C) decrease the maximum number of shares of Company Common Stock sought to be purchased in the Offer, (D) impose any conditions to the Offer that are in addition to the Offer Conditions, (E) amend, modify or waive the Minimum Condition, (F) amend, modify or supplement any of the Offer Conditions in a manner that adversely affects the holders of Company Common Stock or that makes such Offer Conditions more difficult to satisfy without the consent of the Company, not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned, (G) except as otherwise required or expressly permitted by Section 1.01(e), extend or otherwise change the Expiration Time, (H) provide for any “subsequent offering period” within the meaning of Rule 14d-11 under the Exchange Act or (I) otherwise amend, modify or supplement any of the other terms of the Offer in any manner adverse to the holders of Company Common Stock. The Offer may not be terminated prior to its scheduled Expiration Time unless this Agreement is terminated in accordance with Article VII.

(d) The Offer shall expire at one minute after 11:59 p.m. New York City time on the date that is 20 Business Days (calculated in accordance with Rule 14d‑1(g)(3) under the Exchange Act) following (and including the day of) the commencement (within the meaning of Rule 14d-2 under the Exchange Act) of the Offer (such initial expiration date and time of the Offer, the “Initial Expiration Time”) or, if the Offer has been extended pursuant to and in accordance with Section 1.01(e), the date and time to which the Offer has been so extended (the Initial Expiration Time, or such later expiration date and time to which the Offer has been so extended, the “Expiration Time”).

(e) Subject to the parties’ respective rights to terminate the Agreement pursuant to Article VII, Merger Sub may, without the Company’s consent, or shall, as applicable, extend the Offer from time to time as follows (and Merger Sub shall not, and Parent shall not permit Merger Sub to, extend the Offer in any manner except as required or expressly permitted pursuant to this Section 1.01(e)):

(i) if, at the then-scheduled Expiration Time, each Offer Condition (other than the Minimum Condition) shall have been satisfied or waived by Merger Sub (to the extent such waiver is permitted under this Agreement and applicable Law) and the Minimum Condition shall not have been satisfied, then Merger Sub may elect to (and if so requested by the Company shall) extend the Offer on one or more occasions in consecutive increments of such duration as requested by the Company (or if not so requested by the Company, as determined by Merger Sub), but no more than ten Business Days each (each such increment to end at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the last Business Day of such increment) (or such other duration as may be agreed to by Parent and the Company) in order to permit the satisfaction of such Offer Condition(s); provided that the Company shall not request Merger Sub to, and Merger Sub shall not be required to, extend the Offer pursuant to this sentence on more than three occasions; provided, further, that Merger Sub shall not be required to extend the Offer to a date later than the Outside Date;

- 3 -

(ii) if, at the then-scheduled Expiration Time, any Offer Condition (other than the Minimum Condition) shall not have been satisfied or waived by Merger Sub (to the extent such waiver is permitted under this Agreement and applicable Law), then Merger Sub may elect to (and if so requested by the Company shall) extend the Offer on one or more occasions in consecutive increments of such duration as requested by the Company (or if not so requested by the Company, as determined by Merger Sub), but no more than ten Business Days each (each such increment to end at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the last Business Day of such increment) (or such other duration as may be agreed to by Parent and the Company) in order to permit the satisfaction of such Offer Condition(s); provided that Merger Sub shall not be required to extend the Offer to a date later than the Outside Date; and

(iii) Merger Sub shall extend the Offer for the minimum period required by applicable Law, interpretation or position of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) or its staff or the Nasdaq Global Select Market (the “Nasdaq”) or its staff (including in order to comply with Exchange Act Rule 14e-1(b) in respect of any change in the Offer Price).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that, as a result of the extension of the Offer in accordance with the provisions of this Section 1.01(e), the Expiration Time would occur on the date that is the Outside Date, the Expiration Time shall instead occur at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Business Day immediately preceding the Outside Date.

(f) If between the date of this Agreement and the Offer Acceptance 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 the occurrence or record date of any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend (including any dividend or other distribution of securities convertible into Company Common Stock), reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, combination, exchange of shares or other like change, the Offer Price shall be equitably adjusted to reflect such stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend (including any dividend or other distribution of securities convertible into Company Common Stock), reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, combination, exchange of shares or other like change; provided that this sentence shall not be construed to permit the Company to take any action with respect to its securities that is prohibited by Section 5.01.

(g) In the event that this Agreement is terminated in accordance with Article VII, Merger Sub shall (and Parent shall cause Merger Sub to) as promptly as practicable (and in any event within two Business Days of such termination) irrevocably and unconditionally terminate the Offer, and shall not acquire any shares of Company Common Stock pursuant to the Offer and shall cause any depository acting on behalf of Parent or Merger Sub to return, in accordance with applicable Law, all tendered shares of Company Common Stock to the registered holders thereof.

- 4 -

(h) As promptly as practicable on the date of commencement of the Offer (within the meaning of Rule 14d-2 under the Exchange Act), Parent and Merger Sub shall (i) file with the SEC a Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO with respect to the Offer (together with all exhibits, amendments and supplements thereto, the “Schedule TO”) that will include as exhibits the Offer to Purchase, form of related letter of transmittal, summary advertisement and other ancillary documents and instruments pursuant to which the Offer will be made (the Schedule TO, together with all documents included therein pursuant to which the Offer will be made, the “Offer Documents”) and (ii) cause the Offer Documents to be disseminated to holders of shares of Company Common Stock, in each case, as and to the extent required by applicable federal securities Laws. Merger Sub may, but shall not be required to, provide guaranteed delivery procedures for the tender of shares of Company Common Stock in the Offer provided, however, that if Merger Sub provides guaranteed delivery procedures, for purposes of determining whether the Minimum Condition has been satisfied, Parent and Merger Sub shall include for purposes of its determination thereof shares of Company Common Stock tendered in the Offer pursuant to guaranteed delivery procedures (and such shares of Company Common Stock shall be deemed to be validly tendered) if and only if shares of Company Common Stock subject to such guarantees have been received by, or on behalf of, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Sub as of the Expiration Time. The Company shall provide to Parent or Merger Sub all information concerning the Company and the Company’s Subsidiaries as may be reasonably requested by Parent or Merger Sub in connection with the Offer Documents and shall otherwise reasonably assist and cooperate with Parent and Merger Sub in the preparation of the Offer Documents and the resolution of any comments thereto received from the SEC. No representation, warranty or covenant is made by Parent or Merger Sub with respect to information supplied by or on behalf of the Company for inclusion or incorporation by reference in the Offer Documents. Each of the Company, Parent and Merger Sub shall correct any information provided by it for use in the Offer Documents as promptly as reasonably practicable if and to the extent such information shall have become false or misleading in any material respect. Parent and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Sub shall notify the Company promptly on the receipt of any comments or communications from the SEC (whether written or oral) and of any request by the SEC for amendments or supplements to the Offer Documents and shall supply the Company with copies of all written correspondence between Parent, Merger Sub or any of their respective Representatives, on the one hand, and the SEC, on the other hand, with respect to the Offer Documents. Parent and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Sub shall use their respective reasonable best efforts to respond as promptly as reasonably practicable to any comments received from the SEC concerning the Offer Documents and to resolve such comments with the SEC. Prior to the filing of the Offer Documents (or any amendment or supplement thereto) or responding to any comments from the SEC with respect thereto, Parent and Merger Sub shall provide the Company with a reasonable opportunity to review and to propose comments on such document or response, which Parent and Merger Sub shall consider in good faith.

(i) As reasonably requested by the Company, Parent shall keep the Company reasonably informed on a reasonably current basis of the status of the Offer, including with respect to the number of shares of Company Common Stock that have been validly tendered and not validly withdrawn in accordance with the terms of the Offer and, on the Company’s written request, provide (or cause its transfer agent to provide) to the Company as soon as reasonably practicable with the most recent report in its possession from the Depository Agent detailing the number of shares of Company Common Stock that have been validly tendered and not validly withdrawn in accordance with the terms of the Offer.

Section 1.02 Company Actions.

(a) As promptly as practicable on the day that the Offer is commenced, 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, concurrently with or following the filing of the Schedule TO, file with the SEC and disseminate to holders of shares of Company Common Stock a Tender Offer Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9 (together with any exhibits, amendments or supplements thereto, the “Schedule 14D-9”) that, subject to Section 5.02, shall contain the Company Board Recommendation. The Company further agrees to cause the Schedule 14D-9 to be disseminated to holders of Company Common Stock, as and to the extent required by federal securities laws, including the Exchange Act. The Company shall cause the Schedule 14D-9 to comply as to form in all material respects with applicable requirements of the Exchange Act. The Schedule 14D‑9 shall also contain the notice of appraisal rights required to be delivered by the Company under Section 262(d) of the DGCL at the time the Company first files the Schedule 14D-9 with the SEC. The Company shall set the record date for the Company’s stockholders to receive such notice of appraisal rights as the same date as the Stockholder List Date and shall disseminate the Schedule 14D-9 including such notice of appraisal rights to the Company’s stockholders to the extent required by Section 262(d) of the DGCL. Parent shall provide to the Company all information concerning Parent and Merger Sub and their respective Affiliates as may be reasonably requested by the Company in connection with the Schedule 14D‑9 and shall otherwise reasonably assist and cooperate with the Company in the preparation of the Schedule 14D-9 and the resolution of any comments thereto received from the SEC. Each of the Company, Parent and Merger Sub shall correct any information provided by it for use in the Schedule 14D-9 as promptly as reasonably practicable if and to the extent such information shall have become false or misleading in any material respect. The Company shall notify Parent promptly on the receipt of any comments or communications from the SEC (whether written or oral) and of any request by the SEC for amendments or supplements to the Schedule 14D-9 and shall supply Parent with copies of all written correspondence between the Company or any of its Representatives, on the one hand, and the SEC, on the other hand, with respect to the Schedule 14D-9. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to respond as promptly as reasonably practicable to any comments received from the SEC concerning the Schedule 14D-9 and to resolve such comments with the SEC. Prior to the filing of the Schedule 14D-9 (or any amendment or supplement thereto) or responding to any comments from the SEC with respect thereto, the Company shall provide Parent with a reasonable opportunity to review and to propose comments on such document or response, which the Company shall consider in good faith.

(b) In connection with the Offer, from time to time or as reasonably requested by Parent, Merger Sub or their Representatives, the Company shall (or shall cause its transfer agent to) promptly (and in no event later than five Business Days prior to the date of commencement of the Offer) furnish Parent with a list of its stockholders, mailing labels and any available listing or computer file containing the names and addresses of all record holders of shares of Company Common Stock and lists of securities positions of shares of Company Common Stock held in stock depositories as of the most recent practicable date, to the extent known by the Company, and shall provide to Parent such additional information (including updated lists of stockholders, mailing labels and lists of securities positions) as Parent may reasonably request in connection with the Offer. The date of the list used to determine the Persons to whom the Offer Documents and the Schedule 14D-9 are first disseminated is referred to as the “Stockholder List Date”. Except for such steps as are necessary to disseminate the Offer Documents and any other documents necessary to consummate the Merger, Parent and Merger Sub and their Representatives shall hold in confidence pursuant to the Confidentiality Agreement the information contained in any such labels, listings and files, shall use such information only in connection with the Transactions (provided, for the avoidance of doubt, that the Company consents to the use by Parent and Merger Sub of such information as is necessary to communicate the Offer and the Merger to the holders of Company Common Stock, and acknowledges that such use does not constitute a breach of any provision of the Confidentiality Agreement). If this Agreement shall be terminated, Parent and Merger Sub shall, on request, deliver, and shall use their reasonable efforts to cause their Representatives to deliver to the Company or destroy (at the Company’s election) all copies and any extracts or summaries from such information then in their possession or control.

- 6 -

Section 2.02 Exchange of Certificates and Book Entry Shares.

(a) Paying Agent. Prior to the Offer Acceptance Time, Parent shall (i) designate a bank or trust company reasonably acceptable to the Company to act as agent (the “Depository Agent”) for the holders of shares of Company Common Stock to receive the aggregate Offer Price in accordance with Section 1.01(b) and to act as agent (the “Paying Agent”) for the holders of shares of Company Common Stock to receive the aggregate Merger Consideration in accordance with this Article II and (ii) enter into an agreement with such bank or trust company relating to the Depository Agent’s and the Paying Agent’s responsibilities with respect thereto in a form reasonably acceptable to the Company (the “Paying Agent Agreement”). At or prior to the Offer Acceptance Time, Parent shall deposit or shall cause to be deposited with the Depository Agent an amount in cash sufficient to pay the aggregate Offer Price payable pursuant to Section 1.01(b) and at or prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall deposit or cause to be deposited with the Paying Agent an amount in cash sufficient to pay the aggregate Merger Consideration payable pursuant to Section 2.01(c) (such cash deposited with the Depository Agent and the Paying Agent being hereinafter referred to, collectively, as the “Payment Fund”). Parent shall or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to promptly provide additional funds to the Paying Agent as necessary to ensure that the Payment Fund is at all times maintained at a level sufficient for the Depository Agent to make all payments of the Offer Price in accordance with Section 1.01(b) and for the Paying Agent to make all payments of Merger Consideration in accordance with this Article II, which such additional funds shall be deemed to be part of the Payment Fund. Any interest and other income resulting from any investments of the Payment Fund by parent shall be paid to, and be the property of, Parent. No investment losses resulting from investment of the funds deposited with the Paying Agent shall diminish the rights of any holder of shares of Company Common Stock to receive the Offer Price or the Merger Consideration as provided herein.

(b) Payment Procedures.

(i) Promptly after the Effective Time (but in no event more than five Business Days thereafter), Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall cause the Paying Agent to mail to each Person who was, at the Effective Time, a holder of record of (A) Company Common Stock represented by a Certificate or (B) Book-Entry Shares not held, directly or indirectly, through DTC (in each case, other than shares of Company Common Stock to be canceled in accordance with Section 2.01(b), shares of Company Restricted Stock and Appraisal Shares) (1) a letter of transmittal (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates or such Book-Entry Shares, as applicable, shall pass only on surrender of the Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu of the Certificates, as provided in Section 2.02(d)) or such Book-Entry Shares, as applicable, to the Paying Agent, and which shall be in such form and shall have such other customary provisions (including customary provisions with respect to such Book-Entry Shares) as Parent and the Company may reasonably agree prior to the Closing Date) and (2) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu of the Certificates, as provided in Section 2.02(d)) or such Book-Entry Shares in exchange for payment of the Merger Consideration as provided in Section 2.01(c).

(ii) With respect to Book-Entry Shares held, directly or indirectly, through DTC, Parent and the Company shall cooperate to establish procedures with the Paying Agent, DTC, DTC’s nominees and such other necessary or desirable third-party intermediaries to ensure that the Paying Agent shall transmit to DTC or its nominees, as promptly as practicable after the Effective Time, on surrender of shares of Company Common Stock (other than shares of Company Common Stock to be canceled in accordance with Section 2.01(b), shares of Company Restricted Stock and Appraisal Shares) held of record by DTC or its nominees in accordance with DTC’s customary surrender procedures and such other procedures as agreed by Parent, the Company, the Paying Agent, DTC, DTC’s nominees and such other necessary or desirable third-party intermediaries, the Merger Consideration into which such shares are converted pursuant to Section 2.01(c).

(iv) In the case of shares of Company Common Stock that are represented by Certificates, if payment of the Merger Consideration is to be made to a Person other than the Person in whose name the surrendered Certificate is registered, it shall be a condition of payment that (A) the Certificate so surrendered shall be properly endorsed or shall otherwise be in proper form for transfer and (B) the Person requesting such payment shall have paid any transfer and other Taxes required by reason of the payment of the Merger Consideration to a Person other than the registered holder of such Certificate surrendered and shall have established to the reasonable satisfaction of the Surviving Corporation that such Tax either has been paid or is not applicable.

The Merger Consideration paid in respect of shares of Company Common Stock on the surrender for exchange of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares in accordance with the terms of this Article II shall be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to the shares of Company Common Stock previously represented by such Certificates or Book-Entry Shares, and at the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed and thereafter there shall be no further registration of transfers on the stock transfer books of the Surviving Corporation of the shares of Company Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time.

If any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, on the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent, the posting by such Person of a bond, in such reasonable amount as Parent may direct, as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, the Paying Agent shall pay, in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate, the applicable Merger Consideration to be paid in respect of the shares of Company Common Stock formerly represented by such Certificate as contemplated by this Article II.

(e) Termination of Payment Fund. At any time following the first anniversary of the Closing Date, the Surviving Corporation shall be entitled to require the Paying Agent to deliver to it or any of its Affiliates designated by the Surviving Corporation any portion of the Payment Fund (including any interest received with respect thereto) that has not been disbursed to holders of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares, and thereafter such holders shall be entitled to look only to Parent and the Surviving Corporation for, and Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall remain liable for, payment of their claims for the Merger Consideration, pursuant to the provisions of this Article II.

Section 2.03 Company Equity Awards. Prior to the Offer Acceptance Time, the Company or Company Board (or, if applicable, any committee thereof administering the Company Equity Plans), as applicable, shall adopt such resolutions and take such other actions as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the following treatment of the Company Equity Awards:

Such prepaid “tail policy” shall be deemed to satisfy all obligations to obtain insurance pursuant to this Section 5.06(c) and the Surviving Corporation shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause such policy to be maintained in full force and effect, for its full term, and to honor all of its obligations thereunder.

The obligations of Parent and the Surviving Corporation under this Section 5.06 shall not be terminated or modified in such a manner as to adversely affect the rights of any Indemnitee to whom this Section 5.06 applies unless (A) such termination or modification is required by applicable Law or (B) the affected Indemnitee shall have consented in writing to such termination or modification (it being expressly agreed that the Indemnitees to whom this Section 5.06 applies shall be third party beneficiaries of this Section 5.06).

Section 5.10 Resignations. At the Closing, the Company shall deliver to Parent evidence reasonably satisfactory to Parent of the resignation of the directors and officers, in their capacity as such, of the Company and its Subsidiaries as Parent requested by Parent, effective upon the Effective Time.

Section 5.11 Employee Matters.

(a) During the period commencing at the Effective Time and ending on the first anniversary thereof (or if earlier, the date such Continuing Employee’s employment terminates for any reason) (the “Continuation Period”), Parent shall, and shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, provide (i) annual base salary or hourly wage rate to each person who is an employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries immediately prior to the Effective Time and who is an employee of the Surviving Corporation or one of its Subsidiaries following the Effective Time (each, a “Continuing Employee”) that is no less favorable than the annual base salary or hourly wage rate for such Continuing Employee immediately prior to the Effective Time and (ii) employee benefits to Continuing Employees that are comparable in the aggregate to either (at Parent’s sole discretion): (x) the employee benefits (other than defined benefit pension benefits, retiree welfare benefits, severance benefits, deferred compensation, retention arrangements, change-in-control arrangements, long-term incentive compensation, and equity and equity-based arrangements (collectively, the “Excluded Benefits”)) provided to such Continuing Employee immediately prior to the Effective Time, or (y) the employee benefits (other than the Excluded Benefits) provided to similarly-situated employees of Parent and its Subsidiaries from time to time during the Continuation Period.

(b) With respect to all employee benefit plans of the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries in which any Continuing Employee will participate after the Effective Time, including any applicable “employee benefit plan” (as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA) (including any vacation, paid time-off and retirement plans), Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, use commercially reasonable efforts to recognize, for purposes of determining eligibility to participate and vesting, and solely with respect to vacation and paid time off, benefit accrual, each Continuing Employee’s service with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries prior to the Closing Date (as well as service with any predecessor employer of the Company or any such Subsidiary, to the extent service with the predecessor employer was recognized by the Company or such Subsidiary); provided that such service need not be recognized to the extent that such recognition would result in any duplication of benefits for the same period of service.

(c) Without limiting the generality of Section 5.11(a), Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, use commercially reasonable efforts to waive, or cause to be waived, all pre-existing conditions limitations, exclusions, actively-at-work requirements, waiting periods and any other restrictions that would prevent immediate or full participation under any welfare benefit plan maintained by the Surviving Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries in which Continuing Employees (and their eligible dependents) will be eligible to participate from and after the Effective Time, except to the extent that such pre-existing condition limitations, exclusions, actively-at-work requirements, waiting periods or other restrictions would not have been satisfied or waived under the comparable Company Plan immediately prior to the Effective Time. Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, use commercially reasonable efforts to recognize the full dollar amount of all co-payments, deductibles and similar expenses incurred by each Continuing Employee (and his or her eligible dependents) during the calendar year in which the Effective Time occurs for purposes of satisfying such year’s deductible and co-payment limitations under the relevant welfare benefit plans in which they will be eligible to participate from and after the Effective Time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Parent’s obligations under this Section 5.11(c) shall be conditioned on the Company using its commercially reasonable efforts to provide all information and assistance as Parent may reasonably request in connection with the benefits to be provided pursuant to this Section 5.11(c).

- 51 -

(d) Unless otherwise directed in writing by Parent at least ten Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Company will terminate each Company Plan that is an employee benefit plan within the meaning of Section 3(3) of ERISA (collectively, the “Terminating Plans”). The termination of the Terminating Plans shall be effective immediately prior to the Effective Time. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall provide Parent evidence that such resolutions to terminate the Terminating Plans have been adopted by the Company Board or the board of directors of a Subsidiary of the Company, as applicable. The form and substance of such resolutions shall be subject to review and approval by Parent, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

(e) No later than ten Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall provide Parent, for Parent’s review and approval, with calculations prepared to estimate the potential impact of Section 280G of the Code in respect of any payments or benefits provided or reasonably be expected to be provided in connection with the Transactions as well as an analysis of any strategies to mitigate the potential impact of Section 280G of the Code.

(f) Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as requiring Parent or any of its Subsidiaries (including the Surviving Corporation) to retain the employment of any particular employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries following the Effective Time. The provisions of this Section 5.11 are solely for the benefit of the parties to this Agreement, and no provision of this Section 5.11 is intended to, or shall, constitute the establishment or adoption of or an amendment to any employee benefit plan or arrangement for purposes of ERISA or otherwise or alter or limit the ability of Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any other Subsidiary or Affiliate of Parent to amend, modify or terminate any such plan or arrangement, and no Person shall be regarded for any purpose as a third party beneficiary of this Agreement or have the right to enforce the provisions hereof.

- 52 -

Section 5.12 Transaction Litigation. Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall give prompt notice to the Company, and the Company shall give prompt notice to Parent, of any stockholder demands, litigations, arbitrations or other similar claims, actions, suits or proceedings (including derivative claims) commenced against it, its Subsidiaries and/or its or its Subsidiaries’ respective directors or officers relating to this Agreement or any of the Transactions (collectively, “Transaction Litigation”) of which Parent or the Company, as applicable, obtains Knowledge and shall keep the other party reasonably informed regarding any Transaction Litigation. Each of the Company and Parent shall reasonably cooperate with the other in the defense or settlement of any Transaction Litigation, and shall give the other party the opportunity to consult with it regarding the defense and settlement of such Transaction Litigation and to participate (at the other party’s expense) in (but not control) the defense and settlement of such Transaction Litigation. Prior to the Effective Time, other than with respect to any Transaction Litigation where the parties are adverse to each other or in the context of any Transaction Litigation related to or arising out of a Takeover Proposal, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall settle or offer to settle any Transaction Litigation without the prior written consent of Parent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5.12, (a) in the event of any conflict with any other covenant or agreement contained in Section 5.03 that expressly addresses the subject matter of this Section 5.12, Section 5.03 shall govern and control, and (b) any suit, action or proceeding relating to any Appraisal Shares shall be governed by Section 2.07(b).

Section 5.13 Stock Exchange De-listing. Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and do or cause to be done all things, necessary, proper or advisable on its part under Law and rules and policies of NASDAQ to cause the Company Common Stock to be de-listed from Nasdaq and de-registered under the Exchange Act as soon as reasonably practicable following the Effective Time (in any event no more than ten days after the date of the Closing) and the deregistration of the Company Common Stock under the Exchange Act as promptly as practicable after such delisting.

Section 5.14 Rule 14d‑10 Matters. Prior to the Offer Acceptance Time, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Compensation Committee”) will cause each employment compensation, severance or other employee benefit arrangement pursuant to which consideration is payable to any officer, director or employee who is a holder of any security of the Company to be approved by the Compensation Committee (comprised solely of “independent directors”) in accordance with the requirements of Rule 14d-10(d)(2) under the Exchange Act and the instructions thereto as an “employment compensation, severance or other employee benefit arrangement” within the meaning of Rule 14d-10(d)(2) under the Exchange Act and satisfy the requirements of the non-exclusive safe harbor set forth in Rule 14d-10(d) of the Exchange Act.

Section 5.15 Transfer Taxes. All transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration and other similar Taxes and fees (including penalties and interest) incurred in connection with the Merger shall be paid by or on behalf of Parent, the Surviving Corporation or Merger Sub, when due and payable.

Section 5.16 Notice of Certain Events. The Company shall use reasonable best efforts to notify Parent and Merger Sub, and Parent and Merger Sub shall use reasonable best efforts to notify the Company, as promptly as reasonably practicable, in each case after obtaining Knowledge of (and subject to the other terms and conditions hereof): (a) any written notice or other written communication from any Person alleging that the consent of such Person is or may be required in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; (b) any written notice or other written communication from any Governmental Authority in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; and (c) any event, change, or effect between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time that individually or in the aggregate causes or is reasonably likely to cause or constitute a material breach of any of its representations, warranties, or covenants contained herein that would result in the failure of a condition set forth in paragraph (c) or (d) of Annex I to be satisfied (in the case of the Company) or would prevent, materially delay or materially impair the consummation of the Transactions by Parent or Merger (in the case of Parent and Merger Sub); provided that the delivery of any notice pursuant to this Section 5.16 shall not cure any breach of, or noncompliance with, any other provision of this Agreement or limit the remedies available to the party receiving such notice.

- 57 -

- 58 -

(b) All Actions arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Transactions, whether in Law or in equity, whether in Contract or tort or otherwise, shall be heard and determined in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (or, if the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware declines to accept jurisdiction over any Action, any state or federal court within the State of Delaware) (such courts, the “Delaware Courts”). The parties hereto hereby irrevocably (i) submit to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the Delaware Courts in any such Action, (ii) waive the defense of an inconvenient forum or lack of jurisdiction to the maintenance of any such Action brought in the Delaware Courts, (iii) agree to not contest the jurisdiction of the Delaware Courts in any such Action, by motion or otherwise and (iv) agree to not bring any Action arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Transactions in any court other than the Delaware Courts, except for Actions brought to enforce the judgment of any such court.

Each party hereto agrees that service of process on such party in any Action arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be effective if notice is given by Federal Express, UPS, DHL or similar courier service, or by registered or certified United States mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, to the address set forth in Section 8.10 of this Agreement. The parties hereto agree that a final judgment in any such Action shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by applicable Law; provided that nothing in the foregoing shall restrict any party’s rights to seek any post-judgment relief regarding, or any appeal from, a final trial court judgment.

Section 8.08 Specific Enforcement. The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage for which monetary relief, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy, would occur in the event that any provision of this Agreement is not performed in accordance with its specific terms or is otherwise breached, including if the parties hereto fail to take any action required of them hereunder to consummate this Agreement and the Transactions. Each party hereto acknowledges and agrees that (i) the parties shall be entitled to an injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof in the courts described in Section 8.07(b) without proof of damages or otherwise, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled under this Agreement and (ii) the right of specific enforcement is an integral part of the Transactions and without that right neither the Company, Parent nor Merger Sub would have entered into this Agreement. The parties hereto agree not to assert that a remedy of specific enforcement is unenforceable, invalid, contrary to Law or inequitable for any reason, and not to assert that a remedy of monetary damages would provide an adequate remedy or that the parties otherwise have an adequate remedy at law. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that any party seeking an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in accordance with this Section 8.08 shall not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with any such order or injunction. The election of Parent to pursue an injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief shall not restrict, impair or otherwise limit Parent from seeking to terminate this Agreement or pursue the Company Termination Fee and/or damages for liability of the Company for Fraud or Willful Breach. Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, any and all remedies herein expressly conferred upon a party will be deemed cumulative with and not exclusive of any other remedy conferred hereby, or by law or equity upon such party, and the exercise by a party of any one remedy will not preclude the exercise of any other remedy and nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed a waiver by any party of any right to specific performance or injunctive relief.

The nature of the business and the purposes to be conducted and promoted by the Corporation are to conduct any lawful business, to promote any lawful purpose and to engage in any lawful act or activity for which corporations may be organized under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”), as from time to time amended.

The total number of shares of stock which the Corporation shall have authority to issue is one thousand hundred (1,000) shares of common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”). Shares of the Common Stock may be issued from time to time as the Board of Directors of the Corporation (the “Board”) shall determine and on such terms and for such consideration as shall be fixed by the Board. The amount of the authorized Common Stock of the Corporation may be increased or decreased by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Corporation entitled to vote.

Except as otherwise provided by law, the Common Stock shall have the exclusive right to vote for the election of directors and for all other purposes. Each share of Common Stock shall have one vote, and the Common Stock shall vote together as a single class.

Elections of directors need not be by written ballot unless required by the Bylaws of the Corporation. Any director may be removed from office either with or without cause at any time by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding Common Stock of the Corporation entitled to vote, given at a meeting of the stockholders called for that purpose, or by the consent of the holders of a majority of the outstanding Common Stock of the Corporation entitled to vote, given in accordance with DGCL Section 228.

In furtherance and not in limitation of the powers conferred upon the Board by law, the Board shall have the power to make, adopt, alter, amend and repeal from time to time the bylaws of the Corporation (the “Bylaws”) by a majority vote at any regular or special meeting or by written consent, subject to the power of the stockholders to alter, amend and repeal Bylaws made by the Board.

No director or officer of the Corporation shall be liable to the Corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director or officer, as applicable, except to the extent such an exemption from liability or limitation thereof is not permitted under the DGCL as presently in effect or as the same may hereafter be amended. No amendment to, modification of, or repeal of this provision shall apply to or have any effect on the liability or alleged liability of any director or officer of the Corporation for or with respect to any state of facts existing or any acts or omissions of such director or officer occurring prior to such amendment, modification or repeal. If, after this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation is filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, the DGCL or such other law is amended to authorize corporate action further eliminating or limiting the personal liability of directors, then the liability of a director of the Corporation shall be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL or such other law, as so amended.

To the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, as the same exists or as may hereafter be amended, a director of the Corporation shall not be personally liable to the Corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director. If the DGCL is amended after approval by the stockholders of this Section 9 to authorize corporate action further eliminating or limiting the personal liability of directors, then the liability of a director of the Corporation shall be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL as so amended, automatically and without further action, upon the date of such amendment.

The indemnification provided by this Section 9 is not exclusive of other indemnification rights arising under any bylaw, agreement, vote of directors or stockholders or otherwise, and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs and legal representatives of such Indemnitee (defined below). The Corporation, to the fullest extent permitted by law, shall indemnify and advance expenses to any person (the “Indemnitee”) made or threatened to be made a party to an action, suit or proceeding, whether criminal, civil, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that he or she, or his or her testator or intestate, is or was a director or officer of the Corporation or any predecessor of the Corporation, or serves or served at any other enterprise as a director or officer at the request of the Corporation or any predecessor to the Corporation.

The Corporation, to the fullest extent permitted by law, may indemnify and advance expenses to any person made or threatened to be made a party to an action, suit or proceeding, whether criminal, civil, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that he or she, or his or her testator or intestate, is or was an employee or agent of the Corporation or any predecessor of the Corporation, or serves or served at any other enterprise as an employee or agent at the request of the Corporation or any predecessor to the Corporation.

Any Indemnitee shall be deemed to have met the standard of conduct required for such indemnification unless the contrary has been established by a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction.

As between the Corporation and affiliates of the Corporation (other than its direct or indirect subsidiaries) who provide indemnification to the Indemnitees for their service to, or on behalf of, the Corporation (collectively, the “Affiliate Indemnitors”) (i) the Corporation is the indemnitor of first resort with respect to all claims indemnifiable pursuant to Section 9(a) against any such Indemnitee (i.e., the Corporation's obligations to such Indemnitees are primary and any obligation of any Affiliate Indemnitor to advance expenses or to provide indemnification for the same loss or liability incurred by such Indemnitees is secondary), (ii) the Corporation shall be required to advance the full amount of expenses incurred by any such Indemnitee and shall be liable for the full amount of all liability and loss suffered by such Indemnitee (including expenses (including attorneys' fees and expenses), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement and reasonably incurred by such Indemnitee), without regard to any rights any such Indemnitee may have against any Affiliate Indemnitor and (iii) the Corporation irrevocably waives, relinquishes and releases each Affiliate Indemnitor from any and all claims against such Affiliate Indemnitor for contribution, subrogation or any other recovery of any kind in respect thereof. The Corporation shall indemnify each Affiliate Indemnitor directly for any amounts that such Affiliate Indemnitor pay as indemnification or advancement on behalf of any such Indemnitee and for which such Indemnitee may be entitled to indemnification from the Corporation pursuant to Section 9(a). No advancement or payment by any Affiliate Indemnitor on behalf of any such Indemnitee with respect to any claim for which such Indemnitee has sought indemnification from the Corporation shall affect the foregoing and the Affiliate Indemnitors shall be subrogated to the extent of such advancement or payment to all of the rights of recovery of such Indemnitee against the Corporation.

Neither any amendment nor repeal of this Section 9, nor the adoption by amendment of this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of any provision inconsistent with this Section 9, shall eliminate or reduce the effect of this Section 9 in respect of any matter occurring, or any action or proceeding accruing or arising (or that, but for this Section 9, would accrue or arise) prior to such amendment or repeal or adoption of an inconsistent provision.

The Board reserves the right to amend, alter, change or repeal any provision contained in this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, in the manner now or hereafter prescribed by statute, and all rights conferred upon stockholders herein are granted subject to this reservation.
