ARTICLE II

CONVERSION OF SECURITIES

SECTION 2.01 Merger Consideration; Conversion of Securities. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Merger Sub, the Company or the holders of any of the following securities:

(a) Merger Consideration. The cash consideration payable by Parent to consummate the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby (the “Transactions”) shall be equal to Forty Million Dollars ($40,000,000) minus (i) the Escrow Amount, minus (ii) the amount of any Indebtedness of the Company as of the Closing Date, minus (iii) the aggregate value of all Severance/Change in Control Obligations, minus (iv) the amount, if any, by which the Company’s Working Capital at the Closing is less than $1,000,000 (the “Target Working Capital”), minus, (v) without duplication of any Working Capital shortfall recognized pursuant to the immediately preceding clause, the amount, if any, by which the amount of cash included within the Company’s Working Capital at the Closing is less than $375,000 (the “Target Cash Amount”), plus (vi) the amount, if any, by which the Company’s Working Capital at the Closing is greater than the Target Working Capital and plus (vii) the amount, if any, distributed to the Company Stockholders pursuant to Section 2.02(a) (such net amount, the “Merger Consideration”). “Working Capital” means the amount by which the value of aggregate current assets of the Company exceed the value of aggregate current liabilities of the Company, in each case determined in accordance with GAAP applied on a basis consistent with the Company’s prior practices (to the extent such prior practices are in accordance with GAAP). For the avoidance of doubt, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the calculation of Working Capital shall (i) include as current liabilities all Expenses of the Company or any Subsidiary thereof not paid, discharged or otherwise satisfied in full at or prior to Closing and all deferred revenue, and (ii) exclude all net operating losses and other tax-deferred assets, and the current portion of any long-term Indebtedness. At least two business days prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall deliver to Parent a written good faith estimate of the Company’s Working Capital as of 11:00 a.m., Eastern Standard Time on the Closing Date (the “Estimated Working Capital”), which written estimate shall provide reasonable detail regarding the Company’s calculation of such Estimated Working Capital including, without limitation, the constituent items thereof. The Estimated Working Capital shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP applied on a basis consistent with the Company’s prior practices. On the Closing Date but prior to the Closing, the Company shall deliver to Parent a written statement (“Statement of Cash”) of all of the Company’s then current cash balances and the identification of the accounts in which such cash balances are maintained. The Company’s written estimate of Estimated Working Capital and Statement of Cash shall be subject to Parent’s reasonable review and approval.

(b) Conversion of Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock. Each share of Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock (other than any shares to be canceled pursuant to Section 2.01(d), shares owned by any direct or indirect wholly owned

-3-

Subsidiary of the Company and any Dissenting Shares) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be canceled, and shall be converted automatically into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to (i) the Per Share Common Stock Consideration multiplied by (ii) the number of shares of Company Common Stock issuable upon the hypothetical conversion of such share of Series A Preferred Stock or Series B Preferred Stock, as applicable, into Company Common Stock immediately prior to the Effective Time (the “Per Share Preferred Stock Consideration”).

(c) Conversion of Company Common Stock. Each share of common stock of the Company, par value $.01 per share (“Company Common Stock”) (other than any shares to be canceled pursuant to Section 2.01(d), shares owned by any direct or indirect wholly owned Subsidiary of the Company and any Dissenting Shares) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be canceled and shall be converted automatically into the right to receive in cash an amount equal to (i) the Merger Consideration minus the aggregate amount of Option Closing Payments, divided by (ii) the sum of the aggregate number of Eligible Shares and Dissenting Shares (the “Per Share Common Stock Consideration”). Each share of Company Common Stock, Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock converted into the right to receive Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.01(b) or this Section 2.01(c), as applicable, shall be referred to herein as an “Eligible Share” and the holder thereof shall be referred to herein as an “Eligible Holder”).

(d) Cancellation of Treasury Stock and Parent-Owned Stock. Each share of Company Common Stock and Preferred Stock held in the treasury of the Company and each share owned by Merger Sub, Parent or any direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Parent or the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time shall automatically be canceled without any conversion thereof and no payment or distribution shall be made with respect thereto.

(e) Capital Stock of Merger Sub. Each share of common stock, par value $.001 per share, of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and become one validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock, par value $.01 per share, of the Surviving Corporation.

SECTION 2.02 Escrow; Exchange of Certificates.

(a) Escrow Agent. At or prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall (i) appoint a bank or trust company mutually agreed upon by Parent and the Company (the “Escrow Agent”), (ii) enter into an escrow agreement, in form and substance mutually agreed upon by Parent, the Stockholders’ Representative and the Company (the “Escrow Agreement”), and (iii) deposit into escrow with the Escrow Agent an amount in cash equal to $6,000,000 (the “Escrow Amount” and together with any interest or investment income earned thereon pursuant to the Escrow Agreement, the “Escrow Funds”). The Escrow Funds shall be held in escrow by the Escrow Agent to secure the payment of (A) the amount, if any, by which Actual Working Capital, determined in accordance with Section 2.03, is less than the Target Working Capital, or (B) amounts that become due to Parent in respect of indemnification claims made hereunder. Upon resolution of any indemnification claim of the Parent Group Members pursuant to Article IX, the Escrow Agent shall immediately release and pay Parent the amount related to such indemnification claim pursuant to this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement. On the date that

-4-

is 12 months from the Closing Date, if the balance of the Escrow Funds on such date minus both the Unresolved Claim Amount and the Unresolved Option Claim Amount on such date exceeds $3,000,000, then the Escrow Agent shall release and pay to the Stockholders’ Representative for distribution to the Company Stockholders the amount of such excess. On the date that is 24 months from the Closing Date, if the balance of the Escrow Funds on such date minus the Unresolved Claim Amount on such date exceeds the Initial Option Escrow Amount, the Escrow Agent shall release and pay to the Stockholders’ Representative for distribution to the Company Stockholders the amount of such excess (such remaining amount is referred to herein as the “Option Escrow Balance”; and the Unresolved Claim Amount on the date that is 24 months from the Closing Date is referred to herein as the “24 Month Unresolved Claim Amount”). The “Initial Option Escrow Amount” shall be an amount equal to $2,000,000 multiplied by the percentage of Company Stock Options listed on Annex A delivered as of the date hereof that remain outstanding (i.e., have not been exercised, surrendered to the Company for cancellation or otherwise terminated) on the date that is 24 months from the Closing Date. Following such distribution, the Option Escrow Balance and the 24 Month Unresolved Claim Amount shall be maintained in escrow (x) in the case of the 24 Month Unresolved Claim Amount, until the date on which each indemnification claim by Parent hereunder (other than a claim pursuant to Section 9.02(a)(vi)) of which notice is timely and properly given pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement shall be finally resolved, on which date the portion of the 24 Month Unresolved Claim Amount allocable to the indemnification claims so resolved shall be paid to Parent or the Stockholders’ Representative for distribution to the Company Stockholders, as applicable, pursuant to such final resolution, (y) in the case of the Option Escrow Balance, minus any unresolved indemnification claims asserted solely pursuant to Section 9.02(a)(vi) (the “Unresolved Option Claim Amount”), until the Option Survival Date, or any earlier dates that may be specified in Annex A attached hereto, on which date or dates such balance, or the amount set forth in Annex A, if any, shall be paid to the Stockholders’ Representative for distribution to the Company Stockholders, and (z) in the case of any Unresolved Option Claim Amount, until the date on which each indemnification claim by Parent under Section 9.02(a)(vi) of which notice is timely and properly given pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement shall be finally resolved, on which date the portion of the Unresolved Option Claim Amount allocable to the indemnification claim pursuant to Section 9.02(a)(vi) so resolved shall be paid to Parent or the Stockholders’ Representative for distribution to the Company Stockholders or the holder of the Company Stock Option, as applicable, pursuant to such final resolution. “Unresolved Claim Amount” means the aggregate amount of Losses as of a date sought by the Parent Group Members with respect to all unresolved indemnification claims in accordance with Article IX (other than a claim pursuant to Section 9.02(a)(vi)). The parties hereof shall give any written instructions to the Escrow Agent that may be required to effect any release of all or any portion of the Escrow Funds if and to the extent that such release is required pursuant to, and in accordance with, any of the provisions of this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement. Any disbursement to the Company Stockholders pursuant to this Section 2.02(a) shall be made on a pro rata basis, based on the percentage of the Merger Consideration to which each such Company Stockholder is entitled (the “Pro Rata Percentage”), as set forth in Section 3.03(d) of the Company Disclosure Schedule. Any claim against the Escrow Funds under this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement, and the amount asserted for such claim, shall be made in good faith and based upon a reasonable belief that the party making the claim against the Escrow Funds is entitled to make a claim in the amount asserted.

-5-

(b) Exchange Agent. At or prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall (i) appoint a bank or trust company mutually agreed upon by Parent and the Company (the “Exchange Agent”), (ii) enter into an exchange agreement, in form and substance mutually agreed upon by Parent and the Company (the “Exchange Agreement”), for the payment of the Merger Consideration (including the aggregate amount of any Option Closing Payments) in accordance with this Article II, and (iii) deposit with the Exchange Agent cash sufficient to pay the Merger Consideration (excluding any amount under Section 2.01(a)(vii), and taking into account an adjustment based upon the Estimated Working Capital, which shall be readjusted with respect to the determination of the Actual Working Capital in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.03) (such deposited cash, together with any other funds deposited in accordance with this Agreement or the Exchange Agreement, being hereinafter referred to as the “Exchange Fund”). The Exchange Fund shall be held by the Exchange Agent separate and apart from its other funds, as a trust fund, for the benefit of the holders of Eligible Shares, Dissenting Shares and Company Stock Options. The Exchange Fund shall not be used for any other purpose. The Exchange Fund shall be invested by the Exchange Agent as directed by Parent; provided, however, that the Exchange Fund shall not be invested in any manner that would preclude, limit or delay the Exchange Agent from timely making all payments contemplated by this Article II; and provided, further, that, if invested, such investments shall be in short-term obligations of, or short-term obligations guaranteed by, the United States of America or any agency or instrumentality thereof and backed by the full faith and credit of the United States of America, in fully FDIC insured certificates of deposit. Any net profit resulting from, or interest or income produced by, such investments shall be payable to the Surviving Corporation.

(c) Exchange Procedures. Promptly after the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Exchange Agent to mail to each Eligible Holder: (i) a letter of transmittal (in customary form and reasonably satisfactory to the Stockholders’ Representative, specifying that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the certificates evidencing such Eligible Shares (the “Certificates”) shall pass, only upon proper delivery of the Certificates to the Exchange Agent); and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of such Eligible Holder’s Certificate(s) in exchange for an amount equal to such Eligible Holder’s Closing Payment. Upon surrender to the Exchange Agent of a Certificate for cancellation, together with such letter of transmittal, duly completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto, and such other documents as reasonably may be required pursuant to such instructions, such Eligible Holder shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor such Eligible Holder’s Closing Payment, and the Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be canceled. The Exchange Agent will follow similar documentation procedures with respect to the payment of Option Closing Payments to holders of Company Stock Options in order to effectuate the purposes and intentions of Section 2.05. “Closing Payment” means (x), with respect to a holder of shares of Common Stock, an amount equal to the Per Share Common Stock Consideration multiplied by the number of shares of Company Common Stock held by such holder, and (y), with respect to a holder of Series A Preferred Stock or Series B Preferred Stock, an amount equal to the Per Share Preferred Stock Consideration, in each case taking into account an adjustment based upon the Estimated Working Capital, which shall be readjusted with respect to the determination of the Actual Working Capital in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.03, and without giving effect to Section 2.01(a)(vii). Any such adjustment based upon the Estimated Working Capital shall increase or decrease, as applicable, each Eligible Holder’s Closing Payment in proportion to such Eligible Holder’s Pro Rata Percentage. In the event of a transfer of ownership of Eligible Shares that is

-6-

not registered in the transfer records of the Company, the applicable Closing Payment for such Eligible Shares may be made to a Person other than the Person in whose name the Certificate so surrendered is registered if the Certificate shall be properly endorsed or otherwise be in proper form for transfer and the Person requesting such issuance shall pay any transfer or similar Taxes required as a result of such payment or establish to the reasonable satisfaction of Parent that such Tax has been paid or is not applicable. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 2.02, each Certificate shall be deemed at all times after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive upon such surrender the Eligible Holder’s Closing Payment and such Eligible Holder’s Pro Rata Percentage of any Post-Closing Payments. No interest shall be paid or will accrue on any cash payable to holders of Certificates pursuant to the provisions of this Article II. “Post-Closing Payments” shall mean any (1) payments to be made by Parent to the Exchange Agent pursuant to Section 2.03(c) and the payment thereof by the Exchange Agent to Eligible Holders and Participating Holders and/or (2) amounts payable to Eligible Holders, Participating Holders or the holders of Dissenting Shares out of the Escrow Funds.

(d) No Further Rights. From and after the Effective Time, holders of Certificates shall cease to have any rights as stockholders of the Company, except as provided herein or by Law.

(e) Termination of Exchange Fund. Except as provided in Section 2.06 with respect to Dissenting Shares, any portion of the Exchange Fund reflecting amounts with respect to Eligible Shares that remains undistributed to the holders of Eligible Shares for one year after the Effective Time shall be delivered to Parent, upon demand, and any holders of Eligible Shares who have not theretofore complied with this Article II shall thereafter look only to Parent for, and Parent shall remain liable for, payment of their claim for their Pro Rata Percentage of the Closing Payment and any Post-Closing Payments, as applicable. Except as provided in Section 2.06 with respect to Dissenting Shares, any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains undistributed to Participating Holders after the Option Survival Date, shall be delivered to Parent, upon demand. Any portion of the Exchange Fund remaining unclaimed by Eligible Holders or Participating Holders as of a date which is immediately prior to such time as such amounts would otherwise escheat to or become property of any Governmental Authority shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, become the property of Parent free and clear of any claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.

(f) No Liability. None of the Exchange Agent, Parent, Merger Sub or the Surviving Corporation shall be liable to any Eligible Holder for any cash (including any dividends or distributions with respect to such shares) delivered to a public official pursuant to any abandoned property, escheat or similar Law.

(g) Withholding Rights. Each of the Exchange Agent, the Surviving Corporation and Parent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder of Eligible Shares or Company Stock Options, such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to such payment under all applicable Tax Laws. To the extent that amounts are so deducted or withheld and properly paid to the appropriate Tax authority by the Exchange Agent, the Surviving Corporation or Parent, as the case may be, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of the Eligible Shares or Company Stock Options in respect of which such

-7-

deduction and withholding was made by the Exchange Agent, the Surviving Corporation or Parent, as the case may be.

(h) Lost Certificates. If any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making and delivery 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, the posting by such Person of a bond, in such reasonable and customary amount as the Surviving Corporation may direct, as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, the Exchange Agent shall pay in respect of such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate the Merger Consideration to which the holder thereof is entitled pursuant to this Agreement.

SECTION 2.03 Determination of Actual Working Capital.

(a) Within 60 days after the Closing Date, Parent shall prepare a computation of the actual Working Capital of the Company as of the Closing, and deliver such computation to the Stockholders’ Representative. If within 30 days following delivery of such computation, the Stockholders’ Representative does not deliver a written objection thereto to Parent, then the Working Capital reflected in Parent’s computation shall be final, binding and conclusive on the parties and shall constitute the “Actual Working Capital” for all purposes hereunder.

(b) If the Stockholders’ Representative objects in writing to the computation within 30 days following the delivery of such computation, then the Stockholders’ Representative and Parent shall negotiate in good faith and attempt to resolve their disagreement. Should such negotiations not result in an agreement within 30 days after delivery of such written objection, the issues remaining in dispute shall be submitted to a neutral auditor mutually agreeable to the Stockholders’ Representative and Parent (the “Neutral Auditor”). The Stockholders’ Representative and Parent shall furnish or cause to be furnished to the Neutral Auditor such work papers and other documents and information relating to the disputed issues as they may deem necessary or appropriate or as the Neutral Auditor may request and that are available to that party or its agents. Further, the Stockholders’ Representative and Parent shall be afforded the opportunity to present to the Neutral Auditor any material relating to the disputed issues and to discuss the issues with the Neutral Auditor, provided, however, that no party shall have any discussions with the Neutral Auditor without first providing the other parties with notice of such discussions and a reasonable opportunity to attend, observe or otherwise participate in such discussions. All fees and expenses relating to the work, if any, performed by the Neutral Auditor will be borne equally by Parent and the Exchange Fund. The Neutral Auditor will deliver to Parent and the Stockholders’ Representative a written determination (which determination shall include a worksheet setting forth all material calculations used in arriving at such determination and shall be based solely on information provided to the Neutral Auditor by Parent and the Stockholders’ Representative or their respective Affiliates) of the disputed items, including the Neutral Auditor’s calculation of Working Capital, as the case may be, as of the Closing, within 30 days of receipt of the disputed items, which determination will be final, binding and conclusive on the parties and shall constitute the Actual Working Capital for all purposes hereunder.

-8-

(c) If the Actual Working Capital is greater than the Estimated Working Capital, then Parent shall deliver to the Exchange Agent, for distribution to the Eligible Holders, a cash payment equal to such difference in proportion to each Eligible Holder’s Pro Rata Percentage, and the Stockholders’ Representative and Parent shall deliver joint written instructions to the Exchange Agent to disburse to the Eligible Holders such cash payment with respect to the Eligible Shares. If the Actual Working Capital is less than the Estimated Working Capital, then the Stockholders’ Representative and Parent shall deliver joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent to disburse from the Escrow Funds to Parent a cash payment equal to such difference. Any such sum shall be due and payable within 10 days after the final determination of the Actual Working Capital pursuant to Sections 2.03(a) or 2.03(b), and shall be paid in immediately available funds.

SECTION 2.04 Stock Transfer Books. At the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed and there shall be no further registration of transfers of shares thereafter on the records of the Company. From and after the Effective Time, the holders of Certificates representing Eligible Shares outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall cease to have any rights with respect to such shares, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or by Law. At or after the Effective Time, any Certificates presented to the Exchange Agent or Parent for any reason shall be canceled against delivery of the Merger Consideration to which the holders thereof are entitled pursuant to Section 2.01(a).

SECTION 2.05 Company Stock Options.

(a) (i) Immediately prior to the Effective Time, each outstanding option to purchase Company Common Stock granted under any of the stock option plans (or other grant documentation) of the Company as amended through the date of this Agreement (collectively, the “Company Stock Option Plans”) shall become immediately vested and exercisable in full, (ii) at the Effective Time, each option to purchase shares of Company Common Stock granted under the Company Stock Option Plans (each, a “Company Stock Option”) that is outstanding, unexercised and not subject to payment under Section 2.05(b) as of the Effective Time shall be deemed cancelled, and (iii) at the Effective Time, all of the Company Stock Option Plans shall be deemed terminated.

(b) Each holder of a Company Stock Option listed on Section 2.05(b) of the Company Disclosure Schedule that is outstanding and unexercised as of the Effective Time (each such Company Stock Option, a “Participating Option” and the holder thereof, a “Participating Holder”), following the completion of the calculations set forth in this Section 2.05(b), shall (subject to the provisions of this Section 2.05) be entitled to receive an amount in cash (subject to Section 2.02(g)) from the Exchange Agent, in exchange for the deemed cancellation of such Participating Option, comprised of: (1) an amount (the “Option Closing Payment”) equal to the (A) sum of the Option Spreads applicable to the Participating Options held by such Participating Holder minus (B) such Participating Holder’s Pro Rata Percentage of the Escrow Amount; and (2) such Participating Holder’s Pro Rata Percentage of amounts, if any, distributed to Company Stockholders pursuant to Section 2.02(a).

(i) “Option Spread” means the amount by which the exercise price of a Participating Option exceeds the Fully-Diluted Per Share Price.

-9-

(ii) “Fully-Diluted Share Amount” means the amount of shares of Company Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and assuming the hypothetical conversion and/or exercise into shares of Company Common Stock, in accordance with the Company’s organizational documents and all Company Stock Option Plans, of all shares of Preferred Stock and all Participating Options outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time.

(iii) “Fully-Diluted Per Share Price” means (A) the sum of (1) the Merger Consideration, (2) the Escrow Amount and (3) the aggregate exercise price of all Participating Options divided by (B) the Fully-Diluted Share Amount.

(c) The Exchange Agent shall pay the Option Closing Payments to the Participating Holders as promptly as practicable after the date on which the Actual Working Capital shall be finally determined in accordance with the procedures specified in Section 2.03.

(d) Any Participating Holder that receives and accepts an Option Closing Payment pursuant to this Section 2.05 shall be deemed to have agreed to the deemed cancellation of such Company Stock Option as provided for therein and to have waived all further rights, privileges, obligations or claims with respect to such Company Stock Option. Accompanying all Option Closing Payments made to each Participating Holder, shall be a notice stating the foregoing. It shall be a prerequisite to the receipt of such Option Closing Payment that such holder execute a written instrument to the foregoing effects to be supplied by the Exchange Agent and in a form reasonably acceptable to Parent and the Company.

SECTION 2.06 Dissenting Shares.

(a) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary and to the extent available under the DGCL, shares of Company Common Stock or Preferred Stock that are outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and that are held by any stockholder who is entitled to demand and properly demands the appraisal for such shares (the “Dissenting Shares”) pursuant to, and in compliance in all respects with, the provisions of Section 262 of the DGCL (“Section 262”) shall not be converted into, or represent the right to receive, the Merger Consideration to which the holder thereof is entitled pursuant to this Agreement. Any such stockholder shall instead be entitled to receive payment of the fair value of such stockholder’s Dissenting Shares in accordance with the provisions of Section 262; provided, however, that all Dissenting Shares held by any stockholder who shall have failed to perfect or who otherwise shall have withdrawn or lost such stockholder’s rights to appraisal of such shares under Section 262 shall thereupon be deemed to have been converted into, and to have become exchangeable for, as of the Effective Time, the right to receive the Merger Consideration to which the holder thereof is entitled pursuant to this Agreement, without any interest thereon, upon surrender in the manner provided in Section 2.02 of the Certificate or Certificates that formerly evidenced such shares.

(b) The Company shall comply in all respects with Section 262 including, without limitation, subsection (d) thereof. The Company shall give Parent (i) prompt notice of any demands received by the Company for appraisal of any shares of its capital stock, withdrawals of such demands and any other instruments served pursuant to the DGCL and

-10-

received by the Company and (ii) the right to participate in and direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to demands for appraisal under the DGCL. The Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of Parent, make any payment or agree to make any payment with respect to any demands for appraisal or offer to settle or settle any such demands.

(c) Upon the final resolution of any appraisal procedure pursuant to Section 262 with respect to Dissenting Shares, to the extent that the fair value as finally determined pursuant to Section 262 is less than the Merger Consideration to which the holder thereof is entitled pursuant to this Agreement, the Exchange Agent shall pay such excess amount to the Company Stockholders in accordance with their Pro Rata Percentage.

The books and records of the Company fully and fairly reflect, in all material respects, all transactions, properties, assets and liabilities of the Company. The Financial Statements have been derived from the accounting records of the Company, represent only bona fide transactions, and reflect the consistent application of such accounting principles throughout the periods involved. No financial statements of any Person other than the Company are required by GAAP to be included in any of the Financial Statements of the Company. There are no extraordinary or material non-recurring items of income or expense during the periods covered by the Financial Statements, and the balance sheets included in the Financial Statements do not reflect any writeup or revaluation increasing the book value of any assets, except as specifically disclosed in the notes thereto.

(b) The Company is not subject to any liability of the nature required to be reflected or disclosed in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP (including, without limitation, any liability for repayment of incentives, rebates or credits received to any Governmental Authority), whether absolute, contingent, accrued or otherwise, which is not shown or which is in excess of amounts shown or reserved for in the Balance Sheet, other than liabilities (i) reasonably incurred after the Balance Sheet Date in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice, or (ii) with respect to or arising from the Transactions.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Company Material Adverse Effect shall not be deemed to include any event, circumstance, development, change or effect to the extent resulting from any one or more of the following: (i) changes in general economic conditions, the securities or financial markets, any of the industries in which the Company and its Subsidiaries operate generally, or regulatory or political conditions

(e) Subject to an uncollectible reserve maintained by the Company in the ordinary course of business, all accounts receivable of the Company that are reflected on the Balance Sheet or on the accounting records of the Company as of the Closing Date (collectively, the “Accounts Receivable”) (i) represent or will represent valid obligations arising from sales actually made or services actually performed in the ordinary course of business, and (ii) have arisen (A) from bona fide transactions in the ordinary course of business, and (B) under valid and enforceable Contracts to which the Company is a party. Subject to an uncollectible reserve maintained by the Company in the ordinary course of business, to the Company’s Knowledge, there is no contest, claim, or right of set-off, of any material Account Receivable relating to the amount or validity of such Account Receivable.

(f) All inventories of supplies, drugs, food, janitorial and office supplies and other disposables and consumables located in any Facility or held for use by the Company (collectively the “Inventory”) are of a quantity and quality usable in the ordinary course of business in all material respects. The value at which any Inventory is carried reflects the customary Inventory valuation policy of the Company for stating inventory in accordance with GAAP consistently applied.

SECTION 3.08 Absence of Certain Changes or Events. Since September 30, 2008, (a) the Company and the Subsidiaries have conducted their businesses only in the ordinary course of business and in a manner consistent with past practice (it being understood that, for purposes of this Section 3.08, the taking of any action specifically required by this Agreement or in furtherance of the Transactions shall be deemed to be in the ordinary course of business), and (b) neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has:

SECTION 6.09 Tax Matters.

(i) Parent shall prepare and timely file (or cause to be prepared and timely filed) with the appropriate Tax authorities all Tax Returns required to be filed by the Company, the Surviving Corporation and their Subsidiaries (collectively for purposes of this Section 6.09, the “Companies”) with respect to any taxable period beginning before the Closing Date that are due after the Closing Date (each a “Parent Prepared Return”). Each such Tax Return shall be prepared in a manner consistent with the prior practice of the Companies unless otherwise required by applicable Tax laws.

(ii) If a Parent Prepared Return reports a Tax liability that would reasonably be expected to result in an indemnity obligation of the Company Stockholders under this Agreement, the Parent shall provide the Stockholders’ Representative with a copy of such Parent Prepared Return for review and comment at least 30 days prior to the filing of such Tax Return (or, if required to be filed within 30 days after the Closing or the end of the taxable period to which such return relates, as soon as reasonably possible following the Closing or the end of such taxable period, as the case may be), accompanied by a statement (an “Indemnified Tax Statement”) setting forth and calculating in reasonable detail the Taxes that are shown as due on such Tax Return and claimed to be indemnifiable pursuant to Article IX.

(iii) If the Stockholders’ Representative disagrees with the manner of preparation of a Parent Prepared Return or the amount of indemnified Taxes calculated in any Indemnified Tax Statement, within 15 days of the receipt of such Parent Prepared Return or any Indemnified Tax Statement, the Stockholders’ Representative shall provide to Parent a notice of such dispute (a “Tax Statement Dispute”). Parent and the Stockholders’ Representative shall attempt to resolve their disagreement with respect to any Parent Prepared Return and any Indemnified Tax Statement. If the Stockholders’ Representative and the Parent cannot reach complete agreement within 15 days after receipt of a notice of Tax Statement Dispute, the dispute shall be submitted to a neutral arbitrator mutually agreeable to Stockholders’ Representative and Parent. All fees and expenses relating to the work, if any, performed by the arbitrator will be borne equally by Parent and the Stockholders’ Representative.

-45-

(iv) Parent shall timely file any Parent Prepared Return. If the content of such Parent Prepared Return has not been agreed to by the parties prior to the due date of the Parent Prepared Return (including applicable extensions), Parent shall have the right to file such Parent Prepared Return without making any changes in response to the objections of the Stockholders’ Representative and without regard to any determination made by an arbitrator, and the amount of Taxes that is ultimately mutually agreed to by the parties or determined by the arbitrator to have been required to be shown as due on such Parent Prepared Return, as the case may be, shall be treated as the actual Tax liability for the taxable period covered by such Parent Prepared Return for purposes of Article IX, notwithstanding the fact that the Parent Prepared Return filed by Parent reflects a different amount.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, during the two year period following the Closing Date and provided there is remaining Escrow Funds, neither Parent, the Company, the Surviving Corporation or their subsidiaries may file any Tax Return with respect to a Pre-Closing Tax Period (as defined herein), including (without limitation) an amended Tax Return, without the prior written consent of the Stockholders’ Representative, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

(c) To the extent that any determination of Tax liability, whether as the result of an audit or examination, a claim for refund, the filing of an amended Tax Return or otherwise, results in a determination of an overpayment of Taxes and such overpayment had previously resulted in an indemnity payment by the Company Stockholders under Article IX, Parent shall promptly pay to the Escrow Agent (if such payment is to be made prior to the Survival Date) or the Stockholders’ Representative (if such payment is to be made after the Survival Date) an amount equal to the amount of indemnity payment made by the Company Stockholders under Article IX by reason of the overpayment of Tax (or, if less, the amount of such determined overpayment). Such payment shall be made by Parent promptly after receipt of the overpayment by (or crediting for the benefit of) Parent or its affiliates.

(d) Any party who receives, or whose affiliate receives, any notice of a pending or threatened Tax audit, assessment, or adjustment against or with respect to any of the Companies which may give rise to a right to indemnification from the Company Stockholders pursuant to Article IX hereof (each, a “Tax Contest”) shall promptly notify the Stockholders’ Representative within fifteen business days of the receipt of such notice.

(e) The Stockholders’ Representative and the Parent shall cooperate, and cause their representatives and affiliates to cooperate, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other in connection with the preparation and filing of Tax Returns and any Tax Contest. Such cooperation shall include the provision of records and information which are reasonably relevant to any such Tax Returns or Tax Contest and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. Parent agrees to retain all books and records (to the extent in Parent’s possession or control) relevant to Taxes of the Companies (including Tax Returns) relating to any taxable period beginning before the Closing Date until the expiration of the statute of limitations for assessment of Taxes for such respective taxable period.

-46-

The Company shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, immediately cease and take commercially reasonable efforts to cause its Representatives to terminate any solicitation, knowing encouragement, discussion or negotiation with any Persons conducted by the Company or its Subsidiaries or any of their Representatives prior to the date of this Agreement with respect to any Acquisition Proposal.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 6.10(a), if at any time following the date of this Agreement and prior to the earlier of the adoption of this Agreement upon obtaining the Requisite Stockholder Vote and the date that is 45 days after the date of this Agreement (the “Fiduciary Out Period”) (i) the Company has received an Acquisition Proposal from any Person or “group” (as determined under Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) that the Company Board believes in good faith to be bona fide, and (ii) the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisors and outside counsel, that (A) such Acquisition Proposal constitutes or may reasonably be expected to result in a Superior Proposal, and (B) such action is required in order to comply with its fiduciary duties to the stockholders of the Company, then the Company may (x) furnish information (including non-public information) with respect to the Company and its Subsidiaries to the Person or group making such Acquisition Proposal and (y) participate in discussions or negotiations with the Person or group making such Acquisition Proposal regarding such Acquisition Proposal; provided that the Company will not, and will not allow its Subsidiaries or their respective Representatives to, disclose any non-public information to such Person or group without first entering or having entered into a confidentiality agreement that contains confidentiality provisions that are in the good faith judgment of the Company Board no less favorable in the aggregate to the Company than those contained in the Confidentiality Agreement.

(c) From and after the date of this Agreement, the Company shall promptly (within 48 hours of, or the next Business Day immediately following, if later) notify Parent in the event that any of the Company, its Subsidiaries or their respective Representatives receives and determines to respond affirmatively to any Acquisition Proposal or written indication by any Person or group that it is considering making an Acquisition Proposal. The Company shall keep Parent reasonably informed (orally and in writing) on a current basis of the occurrence of any material changes or developments of the status of any such Acquisition Proposal or written

-47-

indication (including the material terms and conditions thereof and of any material modification thereto), and any material developments (the Company agreeing that it shall not, and shall cause its Subsidiaries not to, enter into any confidentiality agreement with any Person subsequent to the date of this Agreement which prohibits the Company from providing such information to Parent).

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 6.10(a), the Company Board may, at any time during the Fiduciary Out Period, (i) withdraw, modify or qualify, or propose publicly to withdraw, modify or qualify, in a manner adverse to Parent or Merger Sub, the Company Board Recommendation (a “Change of Board Recommendation”), or (ii) approve, endorse or recommend, or cause the Company to terminate this Agreement and enter into a letter of intent or similar agreement in principle or any definitive agreement contemplating or otherwise relating to, an unsolicited Superior Proposal (a “Superior Proposal Endorsement”) if, but only if, (A) in each case the Company Board concludes in good faith, after consultation with outside counsel, that failure to take such action would be inconsistent with its fiduciary obligations under applicable Law and (B) in the case of any Superior Proposal, the Company has given Parent five (5) Business Days prior written notice that the Company Board intends to make a Superior Proposal Endorsement, and Parent has not made, during such five (5) Business Day period, an offer that the Company Board, in its good faith judgment, after consultation with its outside counsel and financial advisors, determines is at least as favorable to the Company’s stockholders as the Superior Proposal. The Company may, if it receives an Acquisition Proposal after the date of this Agreement, delay the mailing of the Proxy Statement and/or the holding of the Special Meeting, in each case to provide a reasonable opportunity for the Company Board to consider such Acquisition Proposal and to determine the effect, if any, on the Company Board Recommendation, in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.10.

(e) Nothing contained in this Agreement shall prohibit the Company Board from disclosing the fact that the Company Board has received an Acquisition Proposal and the terms of such proposal, if the Company Board determines, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that (i) failure to make such disclosure would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law or (ii) the Company is otherwise required to make such disclosure.

(f) For purposes of this Agreement, (i) “Acquisition Proposal” means any bona fide offer or proposal, or any indication of interest in making a bona fide offer or proposal, made by a Person or group at any time which is structured to permit such Person or group to acquire, in one transaction or a series of transactions, beneficial ownership of at least 20% of the assets of, equity interest in, or businesses of, the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, pursuant to a merger, consolidation or other business combination, sale of shares of capital stock, sale of assets, tender offer or exchange offer or similar transaction, in each case other than the Merger and (ii) “Superior Proposal” means any Acquisition Proposal (except the references therein to “at least 20%” shall be replaced by “more than 50%” of the equity interests in the Company or all or substantially all of the business or assets of the Company) made in writing that the Company Board has determined in its good faith judgment (after consultation with its financial advisors and outside counsel and after taking into account all legal, financial, regulatory and other aspects of the proposal, including the financing terms thereof) is more favorable to the Company’s stockholders (in their capacities as stockholders) than the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Transactions have not closed, the maximum amount of all Losses for which the Parent Group Members, on the one hand, or the Company Stockholder Group Members on the other, shall be entitled to be indemnified under this Section 9.03 shall be the amount of the Termination Fee; provided, however, that if the Termination Fee has been paid pursuant to Section 8.03, then the Company Stockholders, on the one hand, or Parent on the other, shall have no further obligation under this Section 9.03.

-56-

However, the Indemnification Threshold will not apply to any willful or intentional breach of Parent’s representations and warranties.

(c) The maximum amount of Losses for which the Company Stockholder Group Members shall be entitled to be indemnified under this Agreement shall be the Indemnification Cap.

SECTION 9.05 Notice of Claims.

(a) any Parent Group Member, Company Group Member or Company Stockholder Group Member (each, as applicable, an “Indemnified Party”) seeking indemnification hereunder shall give to the party obligated to provide indemnification to such Indemnified Party (the “Indemnitor”) a notice (a “Claim Notice”) describing in reasonable detail the facts giving rise to any claim for indemnification hereunder and shall include in such Claim Notice (if then known) the amount or the method of computation of the amount of such claim, and a reference to the provision of this Agreement or any other agreement, document or instrument executed hereunder or in connection herewith upon which such claim is based; provided, that (i) a Claim Notice in respect of any action at law or suit in equity by or against a third Person as to which indemnification will be sought shall be given promptly after the action or suit is commenced; and (ii) failure to give such notice shall not relieve the Indemnitor of its

-57-

obligations hereunder except to the extent it shall have been prejudiced by such failure or it shall not have been delivered within 30 days following the Survival Date.

(b) After the giving of any Claim Notice pursuant hereto, the amount of indemnification to which an Indemnified Party shall be entitled under this Article IX shall be determined: (i) by the written agreement between the Indemnified Party and the Indemnitor; (ii) by a final judgment or decree of any court of competent jurisdiction; or (iii) by any other means to which the Indemnified Party and the Indemnitor shall agree.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to pay, settle or compromise any such claim, action or suit without such consent, provided that in such event the Indemnified Party shall waive any right to indemnity therefor hereunder unless such consent was unreasonably withheld.

(b) If any third Person claim, action or suit against any Indemnified Party is solely for money damages (other than Taxes) or, where Company or any Company Stockholder is the Indemnitor, will have no continuing effect in any material respect on the Company or its business, assets, operations or Tax liabilities, then the Indemnitor shall have the right to conduct and control, through counsel of its choosing, the defense, compromise or settlement of any such third Person claim (other than claims for Taxes, which shall not be settled or compromised without the consent of the Indemnified Party, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld),

-58-

action or suit against such Indemnified Party as to which indemnification will be sought by any Indemnified Party from any Indemnitor hereunder if the Indemnitor has acknowledged and agreed in writing that, if the same is adversely determined, the Indemnitor has an obligation to provide indemnification to the Indemnified Party in respect thereof, and in any such case the Indemnified Party shall cooperate in connection therewith (at the Indemnitor’s expense) and shall furnish such records, information and testimony and attend such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials and appeals as may be reasonably requested by the Indemnitor in connection therewith; provided that the Indemnified Party may participate, through counsel chosen by it and at its own expense, in the defense of any such claim, action or suit as to which the Indemnitor has so elected to conduct and control the defense thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to pay, settle or compromise any such claim, action or suit, provided that in such event the Indemnified Party shall waive any right to indemnity therefor hereunder unless the Indemnified Party shall have sought the consent of the Indemnitor to such payment, settlement or compromise and such consent was unreasonably withheld, in which event no claim for indemnity therefor hereunder shall be waived.

SECTION 9.07 Effect of Insurance and Other Recoveries. The amount of any Losses for which indemnification is provided under this Article IX shall be reduced by (a) any insurance proceeds, indemnification or other reimbursement that may be received by the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates with respect to such Losses (a “Collateral Source”), (b) any net (including as reduced by any Taxes incurred by the Indemnified Party as a result of such indemnification) Tax benefits realized by the Indemnified Party as a result of such Losses during the taxable year in which such Losses were incurred or within the Survival Period hereof and (c) any other source of reimbursement or other amounts that are actually received by the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates from any third party that are directly attributable to the circumstances giving rise to the Losses; provided, however, that any offset or reduction on account of any recovery received by an Indemnified Party from a Collateral Source shall be net of any costs or expenses incurred by such Indemnified Party in furtherance of such recovery. The Indemnified Party shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, use commercially reasonable efforts to pursue available remedies to recover the amount of its claim from any Collateral Source. In the event an Indemnitor indemnifies an Indemnified Party on any claim from a Collateral Source referred to in the previous sentence and the Indemnified Party is not pursuing such claim, the Indemnified Party shall assign to the Indemnitor, to the fullest extent allowable, its rights and causes of action with respect to such claim or in the event assignment is not permissible, the Indemnitor shall be allowed to pursue such claim in the name of the Indemnified Party or its Affiliate at the Indemnitor’s expense. The Indemnified Party shall provide the Indemnitor reasonable assistance in prosecuting such claim, including making the Indemnified Party’s books and records relating to such claim available and making its employees reasonably available for interviews, depositions, testimony and similar matters. If any amount to be reduced under this Section 9.07 from any payment required under this Article IX is determined after the date on which the Indemnitor is required pursuant to this Article IX to pay such indemnification claim, the Indemnified Party shall promptly reimburse the Indemnitor after receipt of any amount that the Indemnitor would not have had to pay pursuant to this Article IX had such determination been made at the time of such payment.

SECTION 9.08 No Contribution. Following the Closing, no Company Stockholder shall have (or attempt to exercise or assert), any right of contribution, right of indemnity or other

-59-

right or remedy against the Company in connection with any indemnification obligation or any other Losses for which the Company Stockholders may become liable under or in connection with this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement.

SECTION 9.09 Recoupment Against Escrow Funds; Exclusive Remedy. Parent shall have the right to recoup any Losses for which it is entitled to indemnification hereunder pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement. Indemnification pursuant to, and as limited by, the provisions of this Article IX, shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the parties hereto for Losses arising out of or in connection with this Agreement and the Transactions, regardless of whether such Losses arose under Contracts, torts or otherwise.

SECTION 10.03 Severability.

This Agreement shall not be assigned (whether pursuant to a merger, by operation of law or otherwise), except that Parent and Merger Sub may assign all or any of their rights and obligations hereunder to any direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Parent, provided, however, that no such assignment shall relieve the assigning party of its obligations hereunder if such assignee does not perform such obligations.

perform, this Agreement , and (ii) as of the date hereof, the amount of actual damages that would be caused as a result of, or failure to perform, this Agreement are difficult to determine by the parties.
