2.01 The Offer.

(a) Purchaser shall commence the Offer no later than August 1, 2008. The obligation of Purchaser to accept for payment Shares tendered pursuant to the Offer shall be subject to the satisfaction of each of the conditions set forth in Annex A. Purchaser expressly reserves the right to waive any such condition, to increase the price per Share payable in the Offer and to make any other changes in the terms and conditions of the Offer, subject to the provisions of Section 2.01(b) below.

(b) Purchaser shall not, without the prior written consent of the Company, (1) decrease the Per Share Amount or change the form of consideration payable in the Offer, (2) reduce the maximum number of Shares to be purchased in the Offer, (3) impose conditions to the Offer in addition to those set forth in Annex A, (4) waive or change the condition in clause (iii) of Annex A, or (5) amend any other term of the Offer in a manner adverse to the Company’s shareholders.

(c) Purchaser may from time to time extend the Offer beyond the scheduled expiration date, which shall initially be August 29, 2008, for up to five Business Days in each instance (or for such different period to which the Company shall reasonably agree) if, at the scheduled expiration of the Offer, any of the conditions to Purchaser’s obligation to accept for payment Shares shall not be satisfied or waived; provided, however, that Purchaser shall, at the written request of the Company received at least two Business Days prior to the scheduled expiration date, extend the Offer for up to an aggregate of ten Business Days if any of the conditions set forth in clauses (i) through (iii) of the first paragraph of Annex A have not been met to permit such condition to be satisfied. In addition, if all of the conditions to the Offer are satisfied or waived but the number of shares of Company Common Stock validly tendered and not withdrawn, together with the shares of Company Common Stock held by Parent and Purchaser, if any, is less than 90% of the then-outstanding number of shares of Company Common Stock, then upon the applicable expiration date of the Offer, Purchaser may provide “subsequent offering periods,” as such term is defined in, and in accordance with, Rule 14d-11 under the Exchange Act, for an aggregate period not to exceed 20 Business Days (for all such extensions) and Purchaser shall (1) give the required notice of such subsequent offering period and (2) immediately accept and promptly pay for all Shares tendered as of such applicable expiration date.

(d) Promptly upon the satisfaction or waiver (to the extent such condition is waiveable pursuant hereto) by Purchaser of the conditions set forth in Annex A, Purchaser shall accept for payment and pay for all Shares as promptly as practicable after the expiration date of the Offer, as extended or amended (the date of acceptance for payment, the “Acceptance Date”).

(e) The Per Share Amount shall, subject to applicable withholding of Taxes, be paid net to the seller in cash, without interest, upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer. Purchaser shall pay for all Shares validly tendered and not withdrawn promptly following the acceptance of Shares for payment pursuant to the Offer. Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence and subject to the applicable rules of the SEC and the terms and conditions of the Offer, Purchaser expressly reserves the right to delay payment for Shares in order to comply in whole or in part with applicable laws. Any such delay shall be effected in compliance with Rule 14e-1(c) under the Exchange Act. If the payment equal to the Per Share Amount in cash is to be made to a person other than the person in whose name the surrendered certificate formerly evidencing Shares is registered on the stock transfer books of the Company, it shall be a condition of payment that the certificate so surrendered shall be endorsed properly or otherwise be in proper form for transfer and that the person requesting such payment shall have paid all transfer and other similar Taxes required by reason of the

payment of the Per Share Amount to a person other than the registered holder of the certificate surrendered, or shall have established to the satisfaction of Purchaser that such Taxes either have been paid or are not applicable.

(f) As promptly as reasonably practicable on the date of commencement of the Offer, Purchaser shall file with the SEC a Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO (together with all amendments and supplements thereto, the “Schedule TO”) with respect to the Offer. The Schedule TO shall contain or shall incorporate by reference an offer to purchase (the “Offer to Purchase”) and forms of the related letter of transmittal and other customary documents (the Schedule TO, the Offer to Purchase and such other documents, together with all supplements and amendments thereto, being referred to herein collectively as the “Offer Documents”). Parent, Purchaser and the Company agree to correct promptly any information provided by any of them for use in the Offer Documents that shall have become false or misleading, and Parent and Purchaser further agree to take all steps necessary to cause the Schedule TO, as so corrected, to be filed with the SEC, and the other Offer Documents, as so corrected, to be disseminated to holders of Shares, in each case as and to the extent required by applicable federal securities laws to give effect to the Offer. The Company and its counsel shall be given a reasonable opportunity to review and comment upon the Offer Documents and all amendments and supplements thereto prior to their filing with the SEC.

Parent and its counsel shall be given a reasonable opportunity to review and comment upon the Schedule 14D-9 and all amendments and supplements thereto prior to their filing with the SEC.

Shares.

Subject to the requirements of applicable law, and except for such steps as are necessary to disseminate the Offer Documents and any other documents necessary to consummate the Offer or the Merger, Parent and Purchaser shall treat the information contained in such labels, listings and files as “Evaluation Material” pursuant to the Confidentiality Agreement.

The parties shall cooperate to ensure that the issuance of the Top-Up Option Shares is accomplished consistent with all applicable Laws.

Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to file to deregister the Company Common Stock under the U.S. federal securities laws concurrently with consummating the Merger in accordance with Article 5.16 of the TBCA.

(b) Exercise of Top-Up Option. Upon the exercise of the Top-Up Option in accordance with Section 2.03(a), Purchaser shall so notify the Company and shall set forth in such notice (i) the number of Shares expected to be owned, directly or indirectly, by Parent or Purchaser immediately preceding the purchase of the Top-Up Option Shares and (ii) a place and time for the closing of the purchase of the Top-Up Option Shares. The Company shall, as soon as practicable following receipt of such notice, notify Purchaser of the number of Shares then outstanding and the number of Top-Up Option Shares. At the closing of the purchase of the Top-Up Option Shares, Purchaser shall pay the Company the aggregate price required to be paid for the Top-Up Option Shares pursuant to this Section 2.03, and the Company shall cause to be issued to Purchaser a certificate representing the Top-Up Option Shares, which may include any legends required by applicable securities laws. The aggregate purchase price payable for the Top-Up Option Shares may be paid, at the election of Purchaser or Parent, by Purchaser by executing and delivering to the Company a promissory note having a principal amount equal to the balance of the aggregate purchase price for the Top-Up Option Shares. Any such promissory note shall bear interest at the rate of interest per annum equal to 3%, shall mature on the first anniversary of the date of execution and delivery of such promissory note and may be prepaid without premium or penalty.

(c) Securities Law Compliance. Parent and Purchaser understand that the Shares that Purchaser may acquire upon exercise of the Top-Up Option will not be registered under the Securities Act, and will be issued in reliance upon an exemption thereunder for transactions not involving a public offering. Parent and Purchaser represent and warrant to the Company that Purchaser is, and will be upon exercise of the Top-Up Option, an “accredited investor” (as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act). Purchaser agrees that the Top-Up Option and the Top-Up Shares to be acquired upon exercise thereof are being and will be acquired for the purpose of investment and not with a view to or for resale in connection with any distribution thereof within the meaning of the Securities Act.

(d) Adjustment upon Changes in Capitalization. In the event of any change in the number of shares of outstanding Company Common Stock by reason of any stock dividend, stock split, recapitalization, combination, exchange of shares, merger, consolidation, reorganization or the like or any other change in the corporate or capital structure of the Company that would have the effect of diluting Purchaser’s rights under the Top-Up Option, the number of Top-Up Option Shares and the Per Common Share Price shall be adjusted appropriately so as to restore Purchaser to its rights hereunder with respect to the Top-Up Option; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 2.03 shall be construed as permitting the Company to take any action or enter into any transaction otherwise prohibited by this Agreement.

3.05 Articles of Incorporation and By-laws.

(a) Appointment of Disbursing Agent. At or prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall deposit with a disbursing agent agreed upon by Parent and the Company (the “Disbursing Agent”) cash in an amount sufficient to allow the Disbursing Agent to make all payments that may be required pursuant to this Article III. Parent shall be obligated to, from time to time, deposit any additional funds necessary to make all payments that may be required by this Article III. Any such cash remaining in the possession of the Disbursing Agent twelve months after the Effective Time (together with any earnings in respect thereof) shall be delivered to Parent and any holder of Certificates who has not theretofore exchanged such Certificates pursuant to this Article III shall thereafter be entitled to look exclusively to Parent and/or the Surviving Corporation, and only as a general creditor thereof, for the consideration to which such holder may be entitled upon exchange of such Certificates pursuant to this Article III. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Disbursing Agent nor any party hereto shall be liable to any holder of Certificates for any amount properly delivered to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar laws.

(b) Exchange Procedures. Promptly after the Effective Time, but in no event later than two Business Days thereafter, Parent shall cause the Disbursing Agent to mail or deliver to each person who was, immediately prior to the Effective Time, a holder of record of Company Common Stock, a form of letter of transmittal (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to Certificates shall pass, only upon proper delivery of such certificates to the Disbursing Agent) containing instructions for use in effecting the surrender of Certificates in exchange for the consideration to which such person is entitled pursuant to this Article III. Upon surrender to the Disbursing Agent of a Certificate for cancellation together with such letter of transmittal,

duly executed and completed in accordance with the instructions thereto, the holder of such Certificate shall promptly be provided in exchange therefor cash in the amount to which such holder is entitled pursuant to this Article III, and the Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be canceled. No interest will accrue or be paid with respect to any consideration to be delivered upon surrender of Certificates.

(c) Transfer to Holder other than Existing Holder. If any cash payment is to be made in a name other than that in which the Certificate surrendered in exchange therefor is registered, it shall be a condition of such payment that the person requesting such payment shall pay any transfer or other similar Taxes required by reason of the making of such payment in a name other than that of the registered holder of the Certificate surrendered, or required for any other reason relating to such holder or requesting person, or shall establish to the reasonable satisfaction of the Disbursing Agent that such Tax has been paid or is not payable.

(d) Transfers. At or after the Effective Time, there shall be no transfers registered on the stock transfer books of the Surviving Corporation of Company Common Stock or Certificates that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time.

(e) Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. If any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by the Surviving Corporation or the Disbursing Agent, the posting by such person of a bond in such reasonable amount as the Surviving Corporation or the Disbursing Agent may direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, the Surviving Corporation or the Disbursing Agent shall, in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate, pay or cause to be paid the consideration deliverable in respect of Company Common Stock formerly represented by such Certificate pursuant to this Article III.

3.09 Stock Incentives.

(a) The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause each holder of options to purchase Company Common Stock granted under a Company Stock Plan (each, a “Company Stock Option”) and each holder of restricted stock units representing shares of Company Common Stock granted under a Company Stock Plan (each, a “Company RSU”) to agree, if and to the extent required by the applicable Company Stock Plan or applicable law, no later than immediately prior to the Effective Time, that each Company Stock Option and Company RSU outstanding at the Effective Time shall be canceled automatically at the Effective Time and shall thereafter represent only the right to receive an amount of cash (i) in respect of each such Company Stock Option, equal to the product of (A) the excess, if any, of (x) the Per Share Amount over (y) the exercise price per share of the Company Common Stock subject to such Company Stock Option and (B) the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Company Stock Option immediately prior to its cancellation, regardless of the vested status of such Company Stock Option, and (ii) in respect of each such Company RSU, equal to the product of (A) the Per Share Amount and (B) the number of shares of Company Common

Stock subject to such Company RSU immediately prior to its cancellation, regardless of the vested status of such Company RSU.

(b) All amounts payable pursuant to this Section shall be subject to any required withholding of Taxes and shall be paid at or as soon as practicable following the Effective Time, but in any event within five Business Days following the Effective Time, without interest; provided, however, that if a Company RSU provides for the deferral of compensation subject to Code Section 409A, any amount payable with respect to such Company RSU shall be paid on January 2, 2009; provided, further, that if any portion of a Company RSU that is subject to Code Section 409A is otherwise payable in accordance with its terms during 2008, such portion shall be paid on the date during 2008 provided under the agreement governing the Company RSU. The cancellation of a Company Stock Option or Company RSU in exchange for the cash payment described in this Section shall be deemed a release of any and all rights the holder of such Company Stock Option or Company RSU had or may have had in respect thereof, and any required consents from all such holders shall so provide.

(c) Prior to the Effective Time, the Company Board (or, if appropriate, any committee administering the Company Stock Plans) shall take or cause to be taken such actions as are required to cause (i) the Company Stock Plans to terminate as of the Effective Time, without prejudice to the holders of Company Stock Options and Company RSUs, and (ii) the provisions in any other Company benefit plan providing for the issuance, transfer or grant of any capital stock of the Company or any interest in respect of any capital stock of the Company to be deleted as of the Effective Time.

(d) Prior to the Effective Time, the Company Board or an appropriate committee of non-employee directors shall adopt a resolution consistent with the interpretative guidance of the SEC so that the disposition of Shares, Company Stock Options or Company RSUs pursuant to this Agreement and the Merger by any officer or director of the Company who is a covered person of the Company for purposes of Section 16 of the Exchange Act shall be an exempt transaction for purposes of Section 16 of the Exchange Act.

3.10 Dissenting Shareholders.

(a) Each Dissenting Share shall not be converted into or represent a right to receive the Merger Consideration hereunder, and the holder thereof shall be entitled only to such rights as are granted by Articles 5.13 or 5.16 of the TBCA. The Company shall give Parent notice as promptly as reasonably practicable upon receipt by the Company of any demand for payment pursuant to Articles 5.12 or Article 5.16 of the TBCA and of withdrawals of such notice (any shareholder duly making such demand being hereinafter called a “Dissenting Shareholder”), and Parent shall have the right to participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to any such demands. Any payments made in respect of Dissenting Shares shall be made by Parent and/or the Surviving Corporation.

(b) If any Dissenting Shareholder shall effectively withdraw or lose (through failure to perfect or otherwise) such holder’s right to dissent under Articles 5.13 or 5.16

of the TBCA, each of such holder’s shares of Company Common Stock shall be converted solely into a right to receive the Merger Consideration in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement.

afford Parent, and Parent’s Representatives and accountants, such access during normal business hours throughout the period before the Effective Time to the books, records (including, without limitation, Tax Returns and work papers of independent auditors) and properties and to such other information as Parent may reasonably request; provided, however, that such access shall not unreasonably disrupt the operations of the Company. All requests for such access shall be made to such representatives of the Company as the Company shall designate, who shall be solely responsible for coordinating all such requests and all access permitted hereunder. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company shall permit and provide access to Parent to each of the Dallas, Texas, Mountainview, California, Manchester, England and Orlando, Florida facilities, such that the Parent can conduct a physical inventory of the Company’s assets located at such facility. Neither Parent nor any of Parent’s Representatives shall contact any of the employees, customers or suppliers of the Company in connection with the Transactions, whether in person or by telephone, mail or other means of communication, without the specific prior written authorization of such representatives of the Company as the Company may designate, which authorization with not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. The Company will not be required to afford access or disclose information that would jeopardize attorney-client privilege, contravene any binding agreement with any third party or violate any law or regulation. The parties will make reasonable appropriate substitute arrangements in circumstances where the previous sentence applies.

(b) Each party will hold any information provided in connection with this Agreement or the Transactions confidential in accordance with the Confidentiality Agreement.

6.06 No Solicitation.

(a) The Company shall not, directly or indirectly, through any of its officers or directors or any employee, representative or agent of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (including any investment banker, attorney or accountant retained by it or any of its Subsidiaries) acting, directly or indirectly, at the direction of any officer or director of the Company, (i) initiate, solicit, or knowingly encourage inquiries or proposals with respect to an Acquisition Proposal other than from Parent, (ii) engage in any discussions or negotiations concerning, or provide any confidential information or data to any third party in connection with an Acquisition Proposal (except to notify such person as to the existence of the provisions of this Section 6.06), or knowingly take any other action with the purpose or intention of facilitating any other inquiries or the making of any proposal that constitutes, or that reasonably may be expected to lead to, any Acquisition Proposal, or (iii) except as permitted by Section 6.06(f) below, enter into any agreement (other than a confidentiality agreement permitted by (C) below) with respect to any Acquisition Proposal or approve or resolve to approve any Acquisition Proposal. Notwithstanding the foregoing, prior to the Acceptance Date, the Company may, in response to an unsolicited Acquisition Proposal received by the Company which did not result from a breach of this Section 6.06, furnish information to, or enter into discussions or negotiations with, or waive any standstill with, any person that has made, an unsolicited bona fide written Acquisition Proposal if, and only to the extent that (A) such

Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal or the Company Board, after consulting with the Company’s outside legal and financial advisors, determines in good faith that such Acquisition Proposal, after furnishing such information and entering into such discussions or negotiations, could reasonably be expected to result in a Superior Proposal, (B) the Company and its Subsidiaries are otherwise in compliance with this Section 6.06 (including, prior to furnishing such information to, or entering into discussions or negotiations with, such person, by providing written notice to Parent to the effect that it is furnishing information to, or entering into discussions or negotiations with, such person), (C) prior to furnishing such information, the Company receives from such person an executed confidentiality agreement with terms substantially similar to and no less favorable to the Company than those contained in the Confidentiality Agreement; provided, however, that the Company may enter into discussions or negotiations solely with respect to entering into such confidentiality agreement without breaching this Section 6.06, and (D) the Company keeps Parent informed, on a reasonably current basis, of the status of any such discussions or negotiations as provided above.

(b) The Company shall promptly (and, in any event, within two Business Days) notify Parent of the existence of any proposal, discussion, negotiation or inquiry received by the Company with respect to any Acquisition Proposal, the material terms and conditions of any proposal, discussion, negotiation or inquiry that it may receive and the identity of the person making such proposal or inquiry, and any modification of or amendment thereto, and will keep Parent reasonably apprised of any related developments, discussions, and negotiations.

(c) The Company shall immediately cease and cause to be terminated any existing discussions or negotiations with any persons (other than Parent) conducted heretofore with respect to any Acquisition Proposal.

(d) Nothing contained in this Section 6.06 shall prohibit the Company or the Company Board from (i) taking and disclosing to its shareholders a position contemplated by Rule 14e-2(a) promulgated under the Exchange Act or (ii) making any disclosure to the Company’s shareholders if, in the good faith judgment of the Company Board, after consultation with outside counsel, failure to make such disclosure would be inconsistent with applicable law.

(e) Except as set forth in this Section 6.06(e), neither the Company Board nor any committee thereof shall (i) approve or recommend, or propose to approve or recommend, any Acquisition Proposal, (ii) cause or permit the Company to enter into any letter of intent, agreement in principle, acquisition agreement or similar agreement with respect to any Acquisition Proposal or (iii) withdraw or modify in a manner adverse to Parent or Purchaser, or publicly propose to withdraw or modify in a manner adverse to Parent or Purchaser, the Company Board Recommendation. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.06(e), the Company Board may, at any time, withdraw, modify or amend the Company Board Recommendation (a “Company Board Change of Recommendation”) if the Company Board has concluded in good faith, after consultation with the Company’s outside legal advisors, that the failure of the Company Board to effect a Company Board Change of Recommendation would be reasonably

likely to be inconsistent with the directors’ exercise of their fiduciary obligations to the Company’s shareholders under applicable law.

(f) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 6.06 to the contrary, at any time prior to the Acceptance Date, the Company Board (or any duly constituted committee of the Company Board) may, in response to a Superior Proposal that did not result from a breach of this Section 6.06, cause the Company to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.01(f) and concurrently with such termination enter into a definitive agreement providing for the transactions contemplated by such Superior Proposal; provided, however, that the Company shall not terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.01(f), and any purported termination pursuant to Section 8.01(f) shall be void and of no force or effect, unless, the Company shall have complied with all the provisions of this Section 6.06, including the notification provisions in this Section 6.06(f), and with all applicable requirements of Section 8.03 (including the payment of the Termination Fee prior to or concurrently with such termination) in connection with such Superior Proposal; and provided further, however, that the Company shall not exercise its right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.01(f): (1) until after the fifth Business Day following actual receipt by Parent of written notice from the Company advising Parent that the Company has received a Superior Proposal, specifying the material terms and conditions of the Superior Proposal and attaching the most current versions of the definitive agreement, all exhibits and other attachments thereto and agreements (such as stockholder agreements) ancillary thereto to effect such Superior Proposal, and identifying the Person making such Superior Proposal (a “Notice of Superior Proposal”) and stating that the Company Board intends to cause the Company to exercise its right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.01(f) (it being understood and agreed that, prior to any termination pursuant to Section 8.01(f) taking effect, any amendment to the price or any other material term of a Superior Proposal (such amended Superior Proposal, a “Modified Superior Proposal”) shall require a new Notice of Superior Proposal and a new five Business Day period with respect to such Modified Superior Proposal) and (2) unless either (A) on or before the expiration of the five Business Day period following the actual receipt by Parent of any Notice of Superior Proposal, Parent does not make such adjustments in the terms and conditions of this Agreement so that such Acquisition Proposal ceases to constitute a Superior Proposal (a “Matching Agreement”) in response to such Superior Proposal or (B) following receipt of a Matching Agreement within the five Business Day period, the Company Board (or any duly constituted committee thereof) concludes in good faith, after consultation with the Company’s outside legal advisors and after taking into consideration the Matching Agreement, that the Superior Proposal to which the Notice of Superior Proposal relates continues to be a Superior Proposal.

6.07 Takeover Laws and Provisions. No party will take any action that would cause the Transactions to be subject to requirements imposed by any Takeover Law and each of them will take all necessary steps within its control to exempt (or ensure the continued exemption of) such Transactions from, or if necessary challenge the validity or applicability of, any applicable Takeover Law, as now or hereafter in effect. No party will take any action that would cause the Transactions not to comply with any Takeover Provisions and each of them will take all necessary steps within its control to make such Transactions comply with (or continue to comply

with) the Takeover Provisions. No party will take any action that would cause the Transactions not to comply with the Company Rights Agreement and each of them will take all necessary steps within its control to make such Transactions comply with (or continue to comply with) the Company Rights Agreement. Except as provided above with respect to the Transactions or in order to enter into a transaction pursuant to and in accordance with the terms and conditions of Section 6.06(f) that constitutes a Superior Proposal, the Company Board will not (i) amend the Company Rights Agreement, (ii) redeem the Company Rights, (iii) take any other action with respect to, or make any determination under, the Company Rights Agreement or (iv) approve an Acquisition Proposal for purposes of the Takeover Laws or the Takeover Provisions.

6.08 Regulatory Applications.

(a) Parent and the Company and their respective Subsidiaries will cooperate and use all reasonable best efforts to prepare as promptly as possible all documentation, to effect all filings and to obtain all material permits, consents, approvals and authorizations of all third parties and Governmental Authorities necessary to consummate the Transactions (the “Requisite Approvals”) as promptly as practicable, and will make all necessary filings in respect of those Requisite Approvals as soon as practicable. Each of Parent and the Company will have the right to review in advance, and to the extent practicable each will consult with the other, in each case subject to applicable laws relating to the exchange of information, with respect to all material written information submitted to any third party or any Governmental Authority in connection with the Requisite Approvals. In exercising the foregoing right, each of the parties will act reasonably and as promptly as practicable. Each party agrees that it will consult with the other party with respect to obtaining all Requisite Approvals and each party will keep the other party apprised of the status of material matters relating to completion of the Transactions.

(b) Parent and the Company will, upon request, furnish the other party with all information concerning itself, its Subsidiaries, directors, officers and shareholders and such other matters as may be reasonably necessary or advisable in connection with any filing, notice or application made by or on behalf of such other party or any of its Subsidiaries with or to any third party or Governmental Authority in connection with the Transactions and to the extent permitted by the applicable Governmental Authority or any person objecting to the Transactions, give the other party the opportunity to attend and participate in any meetings and conferences with such Governmental Authority or person objecting to the Transactions.

6.09 Indemnification.

(a) The indemnification provisions of the Constituent Documents of the Surviving Corporation as in effect at the Effective Time shall not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified for a period of six years from the Effective Time in any manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of individuals who at the Effective Time were directors, officers or employees of the Company. Parent shall assume, be jointly and severally liable for, and honor, guarantee and stand surety for, and shall cause the

Surviving Corporation to honor, in accordance with their respective terms, each of the covenants contained in this Section 6.09 without limit as to time.

(b) Without limiting Section 6.09(a), following the Effective Time, Parent and the Surviving Corporation will indemnify, defend and hold harmless the present and former directors, officers and employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries (each, an “Indemnified Party”) against all costs or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of investigation), judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages or liabilities as incurred, in connection with any claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, arising out of actions or omissions before, at or after the Effective Time (including as to, or arising out of or pertaining to, the Transactions), to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. Parent shall pay all costs and expenses in connection with such indemnification promptly as statements therefor are received. At and as of the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the By-laws of the Surviving Corporation to conform with the Constituent Documents of the Company and with its obligations under this Section 6.09.

(c) For a period of six years following the Effective Time, Parent will cause to be maintained in effect director’s and officer’s liability insurance that serves to reimburse the present and former officers and directors (determined as of the Effective Time) of the Company or any of their respective Subsidiaries (as opposed to reimbursing the Company or such Subsidiary) with respect to claims against such directors and officers arising from facts or events occurring before, at or after the Effective Time (including as to, arising out of or pertaining to, the Transactions), which insurance will contain at least the same coverage and amounts of coverage and will contain terms and conditions no less advantageous to the Indemnified Party than those provided in the director’s and officer’s liability insurance currently provided by the Company; provided, that officers and directors of the Company or any Subsidiary may be required to make application and provide customary representations and warranties to Parent’s insurance carrier for the purpose of obtaining insurance required to be provided by Parent pursuant to this Section 6.09(c).

(d) Any Indemnified Party wishing to claim indemnification under Section 6.09(a), upon learning of any claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation described above, will promptly notify Parent; provided that failure so to notify will not affect the obligations of Parent under Section 6.09(a) unless and to the extent that Parent is actually and materially prejudiced as a consequence.

(e) If Parent or any of its successors or assigns (1) consolidates with or merges into any other entity and is not the continuing or surviving entity of such consolidation or merger or (2) transfers all or substantially all of its assets to any other entity, then and in each case, Parent will, as a condition precedent to the consummation of any such transaction, cause proper provision to be made so that the successors and assigns of Parent will, by specificity, assume the obligations set forth in this Section 6.09.

(f) The provisions of this Section 6.09 shall survive the Effective Time and are intended to be for the benefit of, and will be enforceable by, each Indemnified Party and his or her heirs and legal representatives.

(g) Parent shall pay all reasonable expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of investigation, that may be incurred by any Indemnified Party in enforcing all obligations provided in this Section 6.09.

6.10 Employee Matters.

(a) From the Effective Time until December 31, 2008, Parent shall provide, or cause to be provided, the employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries as of the Effective Time (the “Covered Employees”) with employee benefits and compensation plans, programs and arrangements (excluding annual equity grants) substantially comparable, in the aggregate, to those provided by the Company or its Subsidiaries, as the case may be, to such Covered Employees immediately prior to the Effective Time.

(b) From and after the Effective Time, Parent shall (1) provide all Covered Employees with service credit for purposes of eligibility to participate, vesting and benefit accruals (other than benefit accruals under a pension plan) under any employee benefit or compensation plan, program or arrangement adopted, maintained or contributed to by Parent or any of its Subsidiaries in which Covered Employees are eligible to participate, for all periods of employment with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (or their predecessor entities) prior to the Effective Time to the extent credited by the Company for purposes of a comparable plan (provided that there will be no duplication of benefits) and (2) with respect to any self-insured welfare benefit plans of Parent or any of its Subsidiaries, cause, and with respect to all other welfare benefit plans, use commercially reasonable efforts to cause, any pre-existing conditions, limitations, eligibility waiting periods or required physical examinations to be waived with respect to the Covered Employees and their eligible dependents to the extent waived under the corresponding plan (for a comparable level of coverage) in which the applicable Covered Employee participated immediately prior to the Effective Time. If the Company’s medical, vision and/or dental benefit plans for Covered Employees are terminated prior to the end of a plan year, Covered Employees and their dependents who are then participating in a deductible-based medical, vision and/or dental plan sponsored by the Company will be given credit for deductibles and eligible out-of-pocket expenses incurred toward deductibles and out-of-pocket maximums during the portion of the plan year preceding the termination date (or transfer date) in a comparable deductible-based medical and/or dental plan of Parent or any of its Subsidiaries for the corresponding Parent benefit plan year but only if such Parent benefit plan year covers the same twelve month period as the plan year of the corresponding Company benefit plan covers.

(c) Parent and the Company shall honor, or cause to be honored, in accordance with their terms, all vested or accrued benefit obligations to, and contractual rights of, Covered Employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries, including any benefits or rights arising as a result of the Transaction or Merger (either alone or in combination with any other event).

(d) The Company has established a bonus plan for the fiscal year ending February 28, 2009 (the “2009 Bonus Plan”). From the period beginning on the Effective Time and ending on February 28, 2009 Parent shall cause the Company to maintain the 2009 Bonus Plan.

(e) No provision in this Section 6.10 shall (2) create any third-party beneficiary or other rights in any employee or former employee (including any beneficiary or dependent thereof) of the Company, its Subsidiaries or any other Person other than the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns, (2) constitute or create an employment agreement or (3) constitute or be deemed to constitute an amendment to any employee benefit plan sponsored or maintained by the Parent, the Company or any Subsidiary.

(f) Neither the Company’s Board of Directors nor the Compensation Committee shall withdraw, nor permit the withdrawal of, the Company Compensation Approvals.

6.11 Notification of Certain Matters. Parent and the Company will each give prompt notice to the other of any fact, event or circumstance known to it that would cause or constitute a breach of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained herein that would be reasonably likely to cause a condition in Article VII not to be capable of being satisfied by the Termination Date.

6.12 Board of Directors; Section 14(f).

(a) Subject to applicable law, effective upon the purchase by Purchaser of Shares pursuant to the Offer (the “Appointment Time”), a number of Purchaser’s designees shall be elected to the Company Board as set forth in this Section 6.12. Purchaser shall be entitled to designate at least up to such number of directors, rounded up to the next whole number, on the Company Board as shall give Purchaser representation on the Company Board equal to the product of the total number of directors on the Company Board (giving effect to the directors elected pursuant to this sentence) multiplied by the percentage that the aggregate number of votes represented by Shares beneficially owned by Purchaser or any affiliate of Purchaser following such purchases bears to the total number of votes represented by Shares then outstanding, and the Company shall, at such time, promptly take all actions necessary to cause Purchaser’s designees to be elected as directors of the Company including securing the resignations of incumbent directors (except as set forth in the last sentence of this subsection (a)). At such time, the persons designated by Purchaser will, as nearly as practicable, constitute at least the same percentage as persons designated by Purchaser shall constitute of the Company Board of (1) each committee of the Board, (2) each board of directors of each Subsidiary, and (3) each committee of each such board, in each case only to the extent permitted by applicable law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, until the Effective Time, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to ensure that (x) at least a majority of the Company Board and each committee of the Company Board and such boards and committees of the Subsidiaries, as of the date hereof, who are not employees of the Company shall remain members of the Company Board and of such boards and

committees and (y) a majority of the Company Board shall be independent as required by the relevant rules of the NASDAQ Stock Market, Inc.

(b) Subject to applicable law, the Company shall promptly take all actions required pursuant to Section 14(f) of the Exchange Act and Rule 14f-1 promulgated thereunder to fulfill its obligations under this Section 6.12, and shall include in the Schedule 14D-9 such information with respect to the Company and its officers and directors as is required under Section 14(f) and Rule 14f-1 to fulfill such obligations. Parent or Purchaser shall supply to the Company, and be solely responsible for, any information with respect to either of them and their nominees, officers, directors and affiliates required by such Section 14(f) and Rule 14f-1.

(c) Following the election of designees of Purchaser pursuant to this Section 6.12, prior to the Effective Time, any amendment of this Agreement or the Articles of Incorporation or By-laws of the Company, any termination of this Agreement by the Company, any extension by the Company of the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of Parent or Purchaser, any waiver of any of the Company’s rights hereunder, or any action that would prevent or materially delay the consummation of the Merger, shall require the concurrence of a majority of the directors of the Company then in office who neither were designated by Purchaser nor are employees of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company.

ARTICLE VII

Conditions to the Merger

7.01 Conditions to Each Party’s Obligation to Effect the Merger. The respective obligation of each party to consummate the Merger is subject to the fulfillment or written waiver by the parties before the Effective Time of each of the following conditions:

(a) Shareholder Approval. If and to the extent required by the TBCA, this Agreement, the Merger and the other Transactions shall have been approved and adopted by the affirmative vote of holders of at least two-thirds of the outstanding Shares;

(b) No Order. No Governmental Authority shall have enacted, issued, promulgated, enforced or entered any law, rule, regulation, injunction, order, decree or ruling (whether temporary, preliminary or permanent) which is then in effect and has the effect of making the acquisition of Shares by Parent or Purchaser or any affiliate of either of them illegal or otherwise restricting, preventing or prohibiting consummation of the Transactions; and

(c) Purchase of Shares. Purchaser shall have accepted for payment and paid for Shares pursuant to the Offer; provided, however, that this condition shall be deemed to be satisfied with respect to the obligation of Parent and Purchaser to effect the Merger if Purchaser fails to accept for payment or pay for the Shares pursuant to the Offer in violation of the terms of the Offer or of this Agreement.

ARTICLE VIII

Termination

8.01 Termination. This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Effective Time and the Transactions may be abandoned for any reason provided in paragraphs (a) through (h) below; provided, that if any Shares are accepted for payment pursuant to the Offer, neither Parent nor Purchaser may terminate this Agreement or abandon the Merger except pursuant to paragraphs (a) or (b) below.

(a) By mutual written consent of each of Parent and the Company, notwithstanding any requisite approval and adoption of this Agreement by the shareholders of the Company.

(b) By either Parent or the Company if any Governmental Authority shall have enacted, issued, promulgated, enforced or entered any injunction, order, decree or ruling (whether temporary, preliminary or permanent) which has become final and nonappealable and has the effect of making consummation of the Offer or the Merger illegal or otherwise preventing or prohibiting consummation of the Offer or the Merger; provided that the party seeking to terminate this Agreement shall have used its reasonable best efforts to remove or lift such injunction, order, decree or ruling.

(c) By Parent if there shall have been (i) a willful and material breach of any of the covenants and agreements set forth in Section 6.06 hereof or (ii) a material breach of any of the covenants or agreements (other than those identified in clause (i) above) or any of the representations or warranties set forth in this Agreement on the part of the Company such that, with respect to this clause (ii), any of the events set forth in subclauses (a) — (d) of clause (iv) of Annex A would have occurred, which breach is not cured within 15 days following written notice to the Company, or which breach, by its nature or timing, cannot be cured prior to the consummation of the Offer.

(d) By the Company if Parent or Purchaser fails to commence the Offer as provided in Section 2.01(a).

(e) By Parent or the Company if (i) the Offer expires pursuant to its terms without any Shares being purchased thereunder or (ii) Parent or Purchaser shall not have accepted for payment and paid for Shares pursuant to the Offer in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof on or before December 31, 2008 (the “Termination Date”), provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 8.01(e) shall not be available to any party to the extent that such party’s failure to comply with any provision of this Agreement, including without limitation Section 6.01, has resulted in the failure of any of the conditions set forth on Annex A hereto.

(f) By the Company, at any time prior to the Acceptance Date (and in no event after the Acceptance Date), in order to enter into a transaction, pursuant to and in accordance with the terms and conditions of Section 6.06(f), that constitutes a Superior Proposal.

(g) by Parent, if (i) the Company Board shall have withdrawn or modified the Company Board Recommendation in any manner adverse to Parent, (ii) the Company shall have entered into any agreement with respect to any Acquisition Proposal, or (iii) the Company Board shall have resolved to do any of the foregoing.

(h) By the Company if there shall have been a material breach of any of the covenants or agreements or any of the representations or warranties set forth in this Agreement on the part of Purchaser or Parent, which breach would prevent Parent or the Purchaser from performing its obligations under this Agreement and which is not cured within 15 days following written notice to Parent, or which breach, by its nature or timing, cannot be cured prior to the consummation of the Offer.

8.02 Effect of Termination. In the event of the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.01, this Agreement shall forthwith become void and there shall be no liability on the part of any party hereto or any of its affiliates, directors, officers or shareholders except that (i) the Company or Parent may have liability or obligations as set forth in Section 8.03 hereof and (ii) if this Agreement is terminated because of a breach of this Agreement by Parent or because one or more of the conditions to the Company’s obligations under this Agreement is not satisfied as a result of Parent’s failure to comply with its obligations under this Agreement, the Company’s right to pursue all legal remedies will survive such termination unimpaired. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall relieve the Company or Parent from liability for any willful breach hereof or willful misrepresentation herein.

8.03 Termination Fee.

(a) In the event that (i) the Company shall terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.01(f), (ii) Parent shall terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.01(c)(i) or (g), or (iii) Parent or the Company shall terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.01(e) at any time during which this Agreement was terminable by Parent pursuant to Section 8.01 (c)(i) or (g), the Company shall pay to the Parent, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, $14,500,000 in cash (the “Termination Fee”).

(c) In the event that a Termination Fee is payable to Parent, the Company shall pay the Termination Fee to Parent (i) if this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 8.03(a) on the date of termination (it being understood that no termination by the Company shall be effective until the Termination Fee has been paid by the Company) and

(ii) if this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 8.03(b), at the time of consummation of the Acquisition Proposal.

(d) In the event that the Company shall fail to pay the Termination Fee, required to be paid pursuant to this Section 8.03 when due, such fee shall accrue interest for the period commencing on the date such fee became past due, at a rate equal to the then-current prime lending rate as published in the Wall Street Journal. In addition, if the Company shall fail to pay such fee when due, then the Company shall also pay to the other party all of the other party’s costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and expenses) in connection with efforts to collect such fee and/or expenses.

9.06 Entire Understanding; No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement represents the entire understanding of Parent and the Company regarding the Transactions and supersedes any and all other oral or written Agreements previously made or purported to be made, other than the Confidentiality Agreement and the Tender and Voting Agreements. Other than those set forth in the Tender and Voting Agreements, no representation, warranty, inducement, promise, understanding or condition not set forth in this Agreement has been made or relied on by any party in entering into this Agreement. Except for Article III, and Section 6.09, which is intended to benefit the Indemnified Parties, nothing expressed or implied in this Agreement (including Section 6.10) is intended to confer any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities upon any person other than Parent and the Company.

9.07 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the application thereof to any person or circumstance is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remaining provisions, or the application of such provision to persons or circumstances other than those as to which it has been held invalid or unenforceable, will remain in full force and effect and will in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated thereby, so long as the economic or legal substance of the Transactions is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party. Upon any such determination, the parties will negotiate in good faith in an effort to agree upon a suitable and equitable substitute provision to effect the original intent of the parties.

9.08 Assignment; Successors. No party may assign either this Agreement or any of its rights or interests, or delegate any of its duties hereunder, in whole or in part, without the prior written consent of the other parties. Any attempt to make any such assignment without such consent shall be null and void. Subject to the preceding sentences, this Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by, the parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

9.09 Expenses. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, all costs and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the Transactions shall be paid by the party incurring such expenses, whether or not the Offer or the Merger is consummated.

(a) (i) any of the representations and warranties of the Company set forth in Sections 5.03(b)(1) (other than de minimis variations), 5.03(m), or 5.03(w) of this Agreement shall not be true and correct in all respects, in each case at and as of the date of this Agreement and at and as of the Acceptance Date as though made at and as of the Acceptance Date (except to the extent expressly made as of an earlier date, in which case as of such date), or (ii) any of the other representations and warranties of the Company set forth in this Agreement shall not be true and correct in each case at and as of the date of this Agreement and at and as of the Acceptance Date as though made at and as of the Acceptance Date (except to the extent expressly made as of an earlier date, in which case as of such date), in each instance, in the case of this clause (ii) only, except as would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect with respect to the Company.

(b) (i) the Company shall have failed to perform or comply in any respect with Section 6.10(f) of this Agreement, or (ii) the Company shall have failed to perform or comply in any material respect with any other of its agreements, obligations or covenants under this Agreement, and such failure to perform or comply with such other agreements, obligations or covenants shall not have been cured to the good faith satisfaction of Purchaser;

A-1

(d) there shall have occurred any event, change, effect or occurrence which has had or would reasonably be expected to have, either individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect with respect to the Company;

(e) Purchaser and the Company shall have agreed that Purchaser shall terminate the Offer or postpone the acceptance for payment of Shares thereunder; or

(f) a Governmental Authority shall have enacted, issued, promulgated, enforced or entered any law, rule, regulation, injunction, order, decree or ruling (whether temporary, preliminary or permanent) which is then in effect and has the effect of making the acquisition of Shares by Parent or Purchaser or any affiliate of either of them illegal or otherwise restricting, preventing or prohibiting consummation of the Transactions.

The foregoing conditions, other than the Minimum Condition, may be waived by Purchaser in whole or in part at any time and from time to time in its sole discretion. The failure by Purchaser at any time to exercise any of the foregoing rights shall not be deemed a waiver of any such right; the waiver of any such right with respect to particular facts and other circumstances shall not be deemed a waiver with respect to any other facts and circumstances; and each such right shall be deemed an ongoing right that may be asserted at any time and from time to time.
