CONVERSION OF SECURITIES; MERGER CONSIDERATION

Section 3.01 Effect on Capital Stock. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder of any shares of capital stock of the Company, Parent or Merger Sub:

(a) Cancellation of Parent and Merger Sub Owned Company Common Stock; Treasury Stock. Each share of Company Common Stock that, immediately prior to the Effective time, is owned by (i) Parent, Merger Sub or any other subsidiary of Parent or (ii) by the Company as treasury stock shall automatically be cancelled and retired and shall cease to exist and no consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor.

(b) Conversion of Company Common Stock. Each share of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (not including, however, those shares of Company Common Stock cancelled pursuant to Section 3.01(a)) shall be converted into and become the right to receive an amount in cash, without interest, equal to $20.00 (the “Merger Consideration”). All shares of Company Common Stock that have been converted in the Merger into the right to receive the Merger Consideration shall be automatically cancelled and shall cease to exist, and the holders of Certificates that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented shares of Company Common Stock shall cease to have any rights with respect to such shares other than the right to receive the Merger Consideration in accordance with Section 3.02 of this Agreement.

(c) Capital Stock of Merger Sub. Each share of capital stock of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and become one validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable share of common stock, no par value, of the Surviving Corporation, and such shares shall constitute the only outstanding shares of capital stock of the Surviving Corporation as of the Effective Time. From and after the Effective Time, all certificates representing the common shares of Merger Sub shall be deemed for all purposes to represent the number of common shares of the Surviving Corporation into which they were converted in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence.

(d) Stock Options.

-15-

(i) Parent shall not assume any Company Stock Options in connection with the Merger. As of the Effective Time, each Company Stock Option shall be accelerated in full so that it becomes fully vested as of the Effective Time and shall without any action on the part of any holder of any Company Stock Option (each, an “Optionholder”) be cancelled and the Optionholder will receive from the Surviving Corporation as soon as reasonably practicable (but in any event not less than two Business Days) following the Effective Time a cash payment (without interest) with respect thereto equal to the product of (A) the excess, if any, of the Merger Consideration over the exercise price per share of such Company Stock Option and (B) the number of shares of Company Common Stock issuable upon exercise of such Company Stock Option (such payment, the “Option Consideration”). For the avoidance of doubt, each Company Stock Option with an exercise price at or above the Merger Consideration shall be cancelled without any right to receive any consideration therefor.

(ii) The Board of Directors of the Company (the “Company Board”) or a committee thereof shall make such amendments and adjustments to, make such determinations with respect to, and cause to be taken such actions with respect to, the Company Stock Options as are necessary to implement the provisions of this Section 3.01. Prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall obtain written consent to the treatment of the Company Stock Options as provided by this Section 3.01(d) from each Optionholder.

Section 3.02 Payment Procedures.

(a) Payment of Merger Consideration. At or after the Effective Time, Parent shall (i) deposit, or shall cause to be deposited, with a bank or trust company designated by Parent and reasonably acceptable to the Company (the “Paying Agent”) in a separate fund (the “Exchange Fund”), for the benefit of the holders of certificates or evidence of shares in book-entry form that immediately prior to the Effective Time evidenced shares of Company Common Stock (each, a “Certificate”), an amount in cash sufficient to pay the aggregate Merger Consideration, and (ii) instruct the Paying Agent to pay the Merger Consideration in accordance with this Agreement. The Merger Consideration deposited with the Paying Agent pursuant to this Section 3.02 shall be invested by the Paying Agent as directed by Parent; provided, however, that any such investment or any payment of earnings from any such investment shall not modify Parent’s obligation to pay the Merger Consideration pursuant to this Section 3.02(a). Any interest or income produced by such investments shall not be deemed part of the Exchange Fund and shall be payable as directed by Parent. In the event that the funds in the Exchange Fund shall be insufficient to make the payments contemplated by Section 3.01, Parent shall promptly deposit, or cause to be deposited, additional funds with the Paying Agent in an amount that is equal to the deficiency in the amount required to make such payments. The Paying Agent shall cause the Exchange Fund to be (A) held for the benefit of the holders of shares of Company Common Stock and (B) applied promptly to making the payments provided for in Section 3.01(b). The Exchange Fund shall not be used for any purpose that is not expressly provided for in this Agreement.

(b) No Further Ownership Rights in Company Common Stock; Transfer Books. The Merger Consideration paid by the Paying Agent in accordance with the terms of this

-16-

Section 3.02 upon conversion of any shares of Company Common Stock shall be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such shares of Company Common Stock and after the Effective Time there shall be no further registration of transfers on the stock transfer books of the Surviving Corporation of shares of Company Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates are presented to the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent for any reason, they shall be cancelled and exchanged as provided in Section 3.03.

(c) Payment of Option Consideration. Promptly following (but in no event less than two Business Days after) the Effective Time, Parent shall deposit, or cause to be deposited with the Surviving Corporation cash in an aggregate amount, together with any cash in the Company’s bank accounts immediately prior to the Closing, equal to the aggregate Option Consideration payable to all Optionholders pursuant to Section 3.01(d). The Option Consideration shall be paid by the Company through its payroll system (to the extent practicable), or if not practicable checks for such payment shall be drawn by the Surviving Corporation and sent by overnight courier to the holder’s last address on the Company’s records, in each case, as soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time.

Section 3.03 Exchange of Shares.

(a) As soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Paying Agent to mail to each holder of a Certificate (i) a letter of transmittal in customary form (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of the Certificates to the Paying Agent), and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of Certificates in exchange for the Merger Consideration issuable and payable in respect thereof (in accordance with Section 3.01(b)).

(b) If payment of the Merger Consideration is to be made to any Person other than the registered holder of the Certificate surrendered in exchange therefor, it shall be a condition of the payment thereof that the Certificate so surrendered shall be properly endorsed (or accompanied by an appropriate instrument of transfer) and otherwise in proper form for transfer, and that the Person requesting such exchange shall pay to the Paying Agent in advance of any transfer or other similar Taxes required by reason of the payment of the Merger Consideration to any Person other than 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 Parent and the Paying Agent that such Tax has been paid or is not payable.

(c) Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains unclaimed by the Shareholders for six months after the Effective Time shall be paid, at the request of Parent, to Parent. Any Shareholder who has not theretofore complied with this Section 3.03 shall thereafter look only to the Surviving Corporation for payment of the Merger Consideration payable in respect of each share of Company Common Stock held by such Person at the Effective Time as determined pursuant to this Agreement, without interest thereon. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, none of Parent, the Company, the Surviving Corporation, the Paying Agent, Merger Sub or any other Person shall be liable to any former Shareholder for any amount properly delivered to a

-17-

public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Laws. Any amounts remaining unclaimed by former holders of Certificates five years after the Effective Time (or such earlier date immediately prior to such time when the amounts would otherwise escheat to or become property of any Governmental Entity) shall become, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, the property of Parent free and clear of any claims or interest of any person previously entitled thereto.

(d) In the event that 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 Parent or the Paying Agent, the posting by such Person of a bond in such amount as Parent may determine is reasonably necessary as indemnity against any claim that may be made with respect to such Certificate, the Paying Agent will issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate the Merger Consideration deliverable in respect thereof pursuant to this Agreement.

Section 3.04 Withholding Rights. Parent, the Surviving Corporation and the Paying Agent will be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby to any holder of Company Common Stock or Company Stock Options such amounts as Parent, the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent are required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code or any applicable provision of U.S. federal, state, local or non-U.S. Tax Law. To the extent that such amounts are properly withheld by Parent, the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent, (a) Parent, the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent will promptly pay such withheld amounts to the appropriate taxing authority, and (b) such withheld amounts will be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Shareholder or Optionholder in respect of whom such deduction and withholding were made by Parent, the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent.

Section 3.05 Adjustments to Prevent Dilution. Without limiting the other provisions of this Agreement, in the event that the Company changes the number of shares of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding prior to the Effective Time as a result of a reclassification, stock split (including a reverse stock split), stock dividend or distribution, recapitalization, merger, subdivision, issuer tender or exchange offer, or other similar transaction, the Merger Consideration shall be equitably adjusted to reflect such change.

(a) Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries to, (i) provide those employees who are, as of the Effective Time, employed by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (the “Continuing Employees”) with full credit for their prior service with the Company or any Company Subsidiary for purposes of determining eligibility to participate, vesting and entitlement to benefits where length of service is relevant (including for purposes of vacation accrual) under any employee benefit plans or arrangement maintained or sponsored by Parent or the Surviving Corporation, or any subsidiary of Parent or Surviving Corporation, in which Continuing Employees participate (the “Parent Plans”) to the same extent recognized by the Company; (ii) waive all limitations as to preexisting conditions exclusions (or actively at work or similar limitations), evidence of insurability requirements and waiting periods with respect to participation and coverage requirements applicable to the Continuing Employees under any Parent medical, dental and vision plans in which Continuing Employees may be eligible to participate in after the Closing Date; and (iii) provide the Continuing Employees and their eligible dependents with credit for any co-payments, deductibles, offsets and maximum out-of-pocket requirements (or similar payments) made under the Company Benefit Plans for the remainder of the coverage period in which any transfer of coverage occurs, except, in any case of clause (i), (ii) or (iii) above, where doing so would cause a duplication of benefits.

-57-

(b) The provisions of this Section 6.08 are for the sole benefit of the parties to this Agreement and nothing herein, expressed or implied, is intended or shall be construed to confer upon or give to any Person (including any Continuing Employees, present or former employees or directors, consultants or independent contractors of the Company or any Company Subsidiary, Parent or any of its subsidiaries, or, on or after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation or any of its subsidiaries), other than the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns, any legal or equitable or other rights or remedies (with respect to the matters provided for in this Section 6.08) under or by reason of any provision of this Agreement.

(c) Nothing contained in this Section 6.08 or elsewhere in this Agreement, express or implied, (i) shall constitute an amendment to any Company Benefit Plan or (ii) shall be construed to prevent, from and after the Effective Time, the termination of employment of any Continuing Employee or, subject to the provisions of Section 6.08(a), any change in the employee benefits available to any Continuing Employee or the amendment or termination of any particular Company Benefit Plan or Parent Plan in accordance with its terms.

(d) Each of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries shall terminate, effective no later than the day immediately preceding the Closing, all employee benefit plans sponsored by the Company or any Company Subsidiary intended to include a Code Section 401(k) arrangement (each, a “401(k) Plan”) (unless Parent provides written notice to the Company that such 401(k) Plan(s) shall not be terminated). Unless Parent provides such written notice, no later than five Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall provide Parent with evidence that such 401(k) Plan(s) have been terminated (effective as of no later than the day immediately preceding the Closing) pursuant to resolutions of the Company Board or the board of directors (or other governing body) of the applicable Company Subsidiary. The form and substance of such resolutions shall be subject to the reasonable prior review and approval of Parent. The Company also shall take such other actions in furtherance of terminating such 401(k) Plan(s) as Parent may reasonably require. In the event that termination of a 401(k) Plan would reasonably be anticipated to trigger liquidation charges, surrender charges or other fees, then the Company shall provide a reasonable estimate of the amount of such charges and/or fees in writing to Parent no later than ten Business Days prior to the Closing.

Section 6.09 Indemnification; Directors’ and Officers’ Insurance.

(a) Without limiting the obligations of Parent and the Surviving Corporation pursuant to Section 6.09(b) and Section 6.09(c), from and after the Effective Time, each of Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall jointly and severally (i) indemnify and hold harmless each individual who served as a director and/or officer of the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries prior to the Effective Time (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”) to the fullest extent authorized or permitted by Pennsylvania law, as now or hereafter in effect, in connection with any Claim and any judgments, fines (including excise Taxes), penalties and amounts paid in settlement (including all interest, assessments and other charges paid or payable in connection with or in respect of such judgments, fines, penalties or amounts paid in settlement) resulting therefrom; and (ii) promptly pay on behalf of or, within 30 days after any request for advancement, advance to each of the Indemnified Parties, to the fullest extent authorized or permitted by Pennsylvania law, as now

-58-

or hereafter in effect, any Expenses incurred in defending, serving as a witness with respect to or otherwise participating in any Claim in advance of the final disposition of such Claim, including payment on behalf of or advancement to the Indemnified Party of any Expenses incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with enforcing any rights with respect to such indemnification and/or advancement, in each case without the requirement of any bond or other security, but in the case of advancement of Expenses upon receipt of an undertaking, to the extent required by applicable Law, from such Indemnified Party to repay such advanced Expenses if it is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final order that such Indemnified Party was not entitled to indemnification hereunder with respect to such Expenses. In the event any Claim is brought against any Indemnified Party, Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall each use all reasonable efforts to assist in the vigorous defense of such matter, provided that neither Parent nor the Surviving Corporation shall settle, compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any Claim (and in which indemnification could be sought by such Indemnified Party hereunder) without the prior written consent of such Indemnified Party if and to the extent that the claimant seeks any non-monetary relief from such Indemnified Party, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. The indemnification and advancement obligations of Parent and the Surviving Corporation pursuant to this Section 6.09(a) shall extend to acts or omissions occurring at or before the Effective Time and any Claim relating thereto (including with respect to any acts or omissions occurring in connection with the approval of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and any Claim relating thereto) and all rights to indemnification and advancement conferred hereunder shall continue as to an individual who has ceased to be a director or officer of the Company or any Company Subsidiary prior to the Effective Time and shall inure to the benefit of such individual’s heirs, executors and personal and legal representatives. In connection with any determination as to whether the Indemnified Parties are entitled to the benefits of this Section 6.09(a), the burden of proof shall be on Parent and the Surviving Corporation to establish that an Indemnified Party is not so entitled.

(b) From the Effective Time until the sixth anniversary of the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Company Articles and the Company Bylaws to contain provisions no less favorable to each Indemnified Party with respect to limitation of liabilities of directors and officers and indemnification than those that are contained in such documents as of the date of this Agreement.

(c) As of the Effective Time, Parent, the Surviving Corporation or the Company shall maintain in full force and effect for a period of six years after the Closing Date (or, if any claim arising out of or pertaining to matters that relate to an Indemnified Party’s duties or service as a director, officer, trustee, employee, agent or fiduciary of the Company, any Company Subsidiary or any employee benefit plan maintained by any of the foregoing at or prior to the Effective Time is asserted or made within such six-year period, Parent shall ensure that such insurance remains in effect until final disposition of such claim) a prepaid directors’ and officers’ liability insurance “tail” policy or policies providing each individual currently covered by the Company’s directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage for events occurring at or prior to the Effective Time (including acts or omissions relating to the approval of this Agreement and consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby) that is no less favorable than the Company’s existing policy; provided,

-59-

however, that Parent may substitute therefor policies of at least the same coverage and amounts containing terms and conditions that are in the aggregate no less advantageous to such individuals than the terms and conditions of the existing directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy of the Company from reputable carriers having a rating comparable to the Company’s current carrier; provided, further, however, that, if the aggregate annual premiums for such policies exceed 275% of the current aggregate annual premiums, Parent shall provided or cause to be provided a policy for such individuals with the best coverage as shall then be available at an annual premium of 275% the current aggregate annual premiums.

(d) The provisions of this Section 6.09 shall survive the consummation of the Merger and (i) are intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each Indemnified Party and his or her heirs and representatives and (ii) are in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other rights to indemnification or contribution that any such Person may have by contract or otherwise. The obligations of Parent or the Surviving Corporation under this Section 6.09 shall not be terminated (other than a valid termination pursuant to Article VIII) or modified in such a manner as to adversely affect the rights of any Indemnified Party under this Section 6.09 without the consent of such affected Indemnified Party. Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to perform all of the obligations of the Surviving Corporation under this Section 6.09.

(e) From the Effective Time until the sixth anniversary of the Effective Time, if Parent or the Surviving Corporation or any of its successors or assigns shall (i) consolidate with or merge into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving Person of such consolidation or merger, or (ii) transfer all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, in each such case, proper provisions shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Parent and the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, assume all of the obligations of Parent and the Surviving Corporation set forth in this Section 6.09.

Section 6.10 Go Shop; Acquisition Proposals.

(a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, during the period beginning on the date of this Agreement and continuing until 12:01 a.m. New York, New York time on the date that is the 40th day following the date of this Agreement (the “No-Shop Period Start Date”), the Company and the Company Subsidiaries and their respective directors, officers, employees, investment bankers, attorneys, accountants, and other advisors and representatives (collectively, “Company Representatives”) shall have the right (acting under the direction of the Company Board or any authorized committee thereof) to (i) initiate, solicit and encourage Acquisition Proposals (or inquiries, proposals or offers or other efforts or attempts that are reasonably expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal), including by way of providing access to non-public information pursuant to (but only pursuant to) one or more Acceptable Confidentiality Agreements , provided that the Company shall (A) concurrently provide to Parent any non-public information concerning the Company or any Company Subsidiary that is provided to any Person if such information was not previously provided to Parent or its representatives, and (B) withhold those portions of documents or information, or provide pursuant to customary “clean room” or other appropriate procedures, to the extent relating to any pricing or other matters that are highly sensitive

-60-

or competitive in nature if the exchange of such information (or portions thereof) could be reasonably likely to be harmful to the operation of the Company in any material respect; (ii) enter into, engage in and maintain discussions or negotiations with respect to Acquisition Proposals; and (iii) otherwise cooperate with, assist or participate in or facilitate any such inquiries, proposals, discussions or negotiations.

(b) Except as permitted by Section 6.10(c), on the No-Shop Period Start Date, the Company shall, and shall cause each Company Subsidiary and the Company Representatives to, (i) immediately cease any solicitation, encouragement, discussions or negotiations with any Person or group (other than an Excluded Party) that may be ongoing with respect to an Acquisition Proposal, and (ii) promptly (and in any event within two Business Days) cause each Person (other than an Excluded Party or Parent and its representatives) to whom it provided confidential information prior to the No Shop Period Start Date to promptly return or destroy all confidential information concerning the Company and the Company Subsidiaries. Except as permitted by Section 6.10(c), from the No Shop Period Start Date until the Effective Time or, if earlier, the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Article VIII, the Company shall not, and shall cause each Company Subsidiary and the Company Representatives not to, directly or indirectly, (A) solicit, initiate or facilitate or encourage (including by way of furnishing non-public information) any inquiries regarding, or the making of any proposal or offer that constitutes or that might reasonably be expected to lead to, an Acquisition Proposal; (B) engage in, continue or otherwise participate in any discussions or negotiations regarding, or furnish to any other Person information in connection with or for the purpose of encouraging or facilitating, an Acquisition Proposal; (C) enter into any letter of intent, term sheet, agreement or agreement in principle (in each case, whether binding or nonbinding) with respect to an Acquisition Proposal (other than an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement); (D) furnish to any Person or group (other than Parent and its representatives) any non-public information or afford to any Person or group (other than Parent and its representatives) access to the business, properties, assets, books, records or other non-public information, or to any personnel, of the Company or any Company Subsidiary; (E) take any action to make the provisions of any Takeover Statute (including any transaction under, or a Person or group becoming an “interested shareholder” under, the PBCL), or any restrictive provision of any applicable anti-takeover provision in the Company Articles or Company Bylaws, inapplicable to any transactions contemplated by an Acquisition Proposal (and, to the extent permitted thereunder, the Company shall promptly take all steps necessary to terminate any waiver that may have been previously granted to any Person other than Parent or any of its Affiliates under any such provisions); (F) grant any waiver or release under any standstill agreement with respect to any class of equity securities of the Company (including by providing any consent or authorization to make an Acquisition Proposal to the Company Board (or any committee thereof) pursuant to any confidentiality or standstill agreement); or (G) resolve, propose or agree to do any of the foregoing or otherwise facilitate any effort or attempt by any Person to make an Acquisition Proposal; provided, however, that the foregoing restrictions shall not apply to any Excluded Party. No later than 24 hours following the No-Shop Period Start Date, in addition to the information required to be provided pursuant to this Section 6.10, the Company shall identify to Parent (x) each Acquisition Proposal previously received by the Company and the Person or group making each such Acquisition Proposal, and (y) which Person or group submitting an Acquisition Proposal has been

-61-

determined by the Company Board (or any committee thereof) to be an Excluded Party and provide to Parent a summary of the reasons for such determination and an unredacted copy of each Acquisition Proposal (including any materials relating to such Excluded Party’s proposed financing commitments, if any (it being understood that the Company shall provide a written summary of all materials terms of any such financing commitments that, pursuant to the terms of the engagement letter with the financing source thereto, cannot be provided in unredacted form)) submitted by such Excluded Party (or a written summary of the material terms of any such Acquisition Proposal not made in writing). Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 6.10 to the contrary, any Excluded Party shall cease to be an Excluded Party for all purposes under this Agreement upon the earlier of (1) 12:01 a.m. New York, New York time on the date that is the 20th day after the No-Shop Period Start Date (the “Excluded Party End Date”) and (2) such time as the Acquisition Proposal made by such Person or group is withdrawn, terminated, expires or no longer constitutes, or would reasonably be expected to lead to, a Superior Proposal. The Company agrees that any breach or violation of the restrictions set forth in this Section 6.10 by any Company Representative shall be deemed to be a breach of this Agreement (including this Section 6.10) by the Company.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 6.10, if at any time on or after the No-Shop Period Start Date and prior to obtaining the Company Required Vote, the Company or any of the Company Representatives receives a bona fide Acquisition Proposal from any Person or group (which Acquisition Proposal was made or renewed on or after the No-Shop Period Start Date or, in the case of an Excluded Party, was made or renewed on or after the Excluded Party End Date (it being understood that such Person or group shall not thereafter be an Excluded Party)) that did not result from any breach of this Section 6.10 and the Company Board (or any committee thereof) determines in good faith, after consultation with its independent financial advisors and outside legal counsel, that (i) failure to take such action set forth in clauses (x) and (y) below would be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law and (ii) such Acquisition Proposal constitutes or is reasonably expected to lead to a Superior Proposal, then the Company and the Company Representatives may (x) furnish, pursuant to an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement, information (including non-public information) with respect to the Company and the Company Subsidiaries to the Person or group that has made such Acquisition Proposal, provided that the Company shall (1) concurrently provide to Parent any non-public information concerning the Company or any Company Subsidiary that is provided to any Person if such information was not previously provided to Parent or its representatives, and (2) withhold those portions of documents or information, or provide pursuant to customary “clean room” or other appropriate procedures, to the extent relating to any pricing or other matters that are highly sensitive or competitive in nature if the exchange of such information (or portions thereof) could be reasonably likely to be harmful to the operation of the Company in any material respect; and (y) engage in or otherwise participate in discussions or negotiations with the Person or group making such Acquisition Proposal, provided that the Company shall promptly (and in any event within 24 hours) provide to Parent (A) an unredacted copy of any Acquisition Proposal (including any materials relating to any proposed financing commitments (it being understood that the Company shall provide a written summary of all materials terms of any such financing commitments that, pursuant to the terms of the engagement letter with the financing source thereto, cannot be provided in unredacted form)) made in writing provided to the Company or any Company Representative and

-62-

the identity of the Person or group making the Acquisition Proposal, or (B) a written summary of the material terms of any such Acquisition Proposal not made in writing. For the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding the occurrence of the No-Shop Period Start Date, until the Excluded Party End Date the Company and the Company Representatives may continue to engage in the activities described in Section 6.10(a) with respect to an Excluded Party. From and after the date of this Agreement, the Company shall provide Parent with 48 hours prior notice (or such lesser prior notice as is provided to the members of the Company Board) of any meeting of the Company Board (or any committee thereof) at which the Company Board (or any committee thereof) is expected to consider any Acquisition Proposal or any request for non-public information concerning the Company or any Company Subsidiary related to or from any Person or group who would reasonably be expected to make an Acquisition Proposal or any request for discussions or negotiations related to an Acquisition Proposal. Prior to taking any of the actions referred to in this Section 6.10(c), the Company shall notify Parent orally and in writing that it proposes to furnish non-public information or engage in discussions or negotiations as provided in this Section 6.10(c).

(d) From and after the date of this Agreement, the Company shall keep Parent reasonably informed on a current basis (and in any event within 24 hours) of (i) any initial request for non-public information concerning the Company or any Company Subsidiary related to or from any Person or group who would reasonably be expected to make an Acquisition Proposal; (ii) any initial request for discussions or negotiations related to an Acquisition Proposal; (iii) receipt of any Acquisition Proposal; or (iv) any material developments, changes, discussions or negotiations regarding any Acquisition Proposal. In connection with the foregoing, the Company shall (A) provide Parent with the identity of the Person or group making such request or Acquisition Proposal and the material terms thereof and related written correspondence provided in connection therewith (including, if applicable, unredacted copies of any written requests, proposals, offers or proposed agreements, including any materials relating any proposed financing commitments (it being understood that the Company shall provide a written summary of all materials terms of any such financing commitments that, pursuant to the terms of the engagement letter with the financing source thereto, cannot be provided in unredacted form)), and (B) thereafter keep Parent reasonably informed on a current basis (and in any event within 24 hours) of any material changes to the terms thereof. The Company, Parent and Merger Sub agree that subsections (i) and (ii) above shall apply only with respect to inbound, unsolicited requests from any Person or group. The Company shall, or shall cause the Company Representatives to, (x) promptly notify Parent in writing of the identity of all parties who enter into an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement or (y) no later than 24 hours following the No-Shop Period Start Date, notify the Parent in writing of the identity of all parties that were contacted by the Company or the Company Representatives pursuant to Section 6.10(a). Until the Effective Time or, if earlier, the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Article VIII, the Company agrees that it and the Company Subsidiaries will not enter into any confidentiality agreement with any Person subsequent to the date of this Agreement that prohibits the Company from providing any information to Parent in accordance with this Section 6.10.

(e) Except as expressly permitted by Section 6.10(f), neither the Company Board nor any committee thereof shall (i)(A) fail to recommend to its Shareholders that the Company Required Vote be given (the “Company Recommendation”) or fail to include the Company

-63-

Recommendation in the Proxy Statement; (B) change, qualify, rescind, withhold, withdraw or modify, or propose to change, qualify, rescind, withhold, withdraw or modify, in a manner adverse to Parent, the Company Recommendation; (C) take any other action or make any recommendation or public statement in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer or otherwise take any action inconsistent with the Company Recommendation other than a recommendation against such offer or a “stop, look and listen” communication by the Company Board pursuant to Rule 14d-9(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act; (D) adopt, approve or recommend, or propose to adopt, approve or recommend, to the Shareholders an Acquisition Proposal; or (E) except as permitted by Section 6.10(h), grant any waiver or release under any standstill agreement, or fail to enforce such agreement, with respect to any class of equity securities of the Company (each of the actions described in this Section 6.10(e)(i), a “Company Recommendation Change”); or (ii) authorize, cause or permit the Company or any Company Subsidiary to enter into any letter of intent, term sheet, agreement or agreement in principle (in each case, whether binding or nonbinding) with respect to an Acquisition Proposal (other than an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement) (each, a “Company Acquisition Agreement”). After receipt of a written request by Parent, the Company shall publicly reaffirm the Company Recommendation within ten Business Days of the commencement of any tender or exchange offer or the public announcement or public notice of an Acquisition Proposal unless a Company Recommendation Change is permitted pursuant to Section 6.10(f).

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained this Section 6.10, prior to the time that the Company Required Vote is obtained, but not after, the Company Board may make a Company Recommendation Change in order to enter into a Company Acquisition Agreement with respect to an Acquisition Proposal that did not result from a breach of this Section 6.10 if and only if, prior to making such Company Recommendation Change, (i) the Company Board (or any committee thereof) has determined in good faith, after consultation with its independent financial advisors and outside legal counsel, that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal; (ii) the Company Board (or any committee thereof) shall have determined in good faith, after consultation with its independent financial advisors and outside legal counsel, that the failure to effect such Company Recommendation Change and enter into such Company Acquisition Agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties to the Shareholders under applicable Law; (iii) the Company Board (or any committee thereof) provides Parent with at least four Business Days advance written notice (such period, the “Notice Period”) advising Parent of its intention to make a Company Recommendation Change and to terminate this Agreement to enter into a definitive agreement with respect to a Superior Proposal; (iv) the Company provides Parent a written summary of the material terms and conditions of such Superior Proposal, the identity of the Person or group making such Superior Proposal and an unredacted copy of the relevant proposed transaction documents and any other material documents (including any materials relating to any proposed financing commitments (it being understood that the Company shall provide a written summary of all materials terms of any such financing commitments that, pursuant to the terms of the engagement letter with the financing source thereto, cannot be provided in unredacted form)) with the Person or group making such Superior Proposal; (v) the Company and the Company Representatives discuss and negotiate in good faith with Parent and its representatives, to the extent that Parent wishes to discuss and negotiate, any proposed changes by Parent to the terms of this Agreement so as to permit the Company Board (or any

-64-

committee thereof) not to effect a Company Recommendation Change or to terminate this Agreement in response to such Superior Proposal (including providing Parent and its representatives, to the extent that they desire to do so, an opportunity to make a presentation to the Company Board (or any committee thereof) regarding this Agreement and any proposed changes with respect thereto); and (vi) the Company Board (or any committee thereof), following the Notice Period, and taking into account any revised proposal made by Parent since the commencement of the Notice Period, determines in good faith, after consultation with its independent financial advisors and outside legal counsel, that such Acquisition Proposal continues to constitute a Superior Proposal and that the failure to effect a Company Recommendation Change and enter into a Company Acquisition Agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties to the Shareholders under applicable Law; provided, however, that in the event of any change to the material terms of such Superior Proposal (it being understood that any change in price or type of consideration shall be deemed to be a change of a material term), the Company Board (or any committee thereof) shall deliver to Parent an additional notice and shall comply with this Section 6.10(f) with respect to such new notice, except that if the only change is a change in price, then the Notice Period shall be two Business Days (rather than the four Business Days otherwise contemplated by this Section 6.10(f)). Until the Effective Time or, if earlier, the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Article VIII, none of the Company Board, any committee thereof or the Company shall enter into any binding agreement with any Person to limit or not provide prior notice to Parent of its intent to make a Company Recommendation Change or to terminate this Agreement in response to any Superior Proposal.

(g) Nothing contained in this Agreement shall prohibit the Company, the Company Board (or any committee thereof) from (i) taking and disclosing to the Shareholders a position contemplated by Rule 14e-2 promulgated under the Exchange Act or (ii) making any disclosure to the Shareholders if the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel, that such disclosure is required by applicable securities Law, provided that any such disclosure (other than (A) a “stop, look and listen” letter or similar communication of the type contemplated by Rule 14d-9(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act, (B) an express rejection of any applicable Acquisition Proposal or (C) an express reaffirmation of the Company Recommendation) shall be deemed to be a Company Recommendation Change.

(h) At any time prior to the time that the Company Required Vote is obtained, but not after, the Company Board (or any committee thereof) may grant a waiver or release under any standstill agreement with respect to any class of equity securities of the Company if the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with its independent financial advisors and outside legal counsel, that the failure to take such action would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law. From the date of this Agreement until the No-Shop Period Start Date, the Company may grant any such waiver solely to permit any counterparty to any such agreement to make non-public inquiries, proposals or offers that constitute or may reasonably be expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal. The Company shall provide written notice to Parent of any such waiver or release of any standstill by the Company concurrent with the granting of such waiver or release. Except for the waiver or release of any standstill as contemplated by this Section 6.10(h), from and after the date of this Agreement, the Company shall, and shall cause each Company Subsidiary to,

-65-

enforce, and shall not release or permit the release of any Person from, or amend, waive, terminate or modify, and shall not permit the amendment, waiver, termination or modification of (whether by any Company Subsidiary or any other Person), any provision of any confidentiality, standstill or similar agreement or provision to which the Company or any Company Subsidiary is a party or pursuant to which the Company or any Company Subsidiary has any rights.

Section 6.11 Notification of Certain Events. The Company will notify Parent and Merger Sub, and Parent and Merger Sub will notify the Company, promptly (and in any event within 48 hours) of (a) any written communications from any Person alleging that the consent of such Person is or may be required in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, provided that the foregoing shall not apply in respect of any immaterial consents; (b) any written communication from any Governmental Entity in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (other than any such communication from a Governmental Entity in its capacity as a counterparty to any contract with the Company thereof); (c) any legal, administrative, arbitral or other proceedings, claims or Actions commenced against the Company or Parent or their respective subsidiaries that are related to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; (d) any event, change or effect between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time that causes or is reasonably likely to cause the conditions set forth in Section 7.02(a) or Section 7.02(b) of this Agreement (in the case of the Company) or Section 7.03(a) or Section 7.03(b) of this Agreement (in the case of Parent and Merger Sub) not to be satisfied; or (e) any notice or any other communication from any Person alleging that the consent of such Person is or may be required in connection with the Merger or the other transactions contemplated hereby.

Section 6.12 Takeover Statutes. If any Takeover Statute becomes or is deemed to be applicable to the Company, Parent, Merger Sub, the Merger or any other transaction contemplated by this Agreement, then each of the Company, Parent, Merger Sub, and their respective Boards of Directors shall grant such approvals and take such actions as are necessary so that the transactions contemplated hereby may be consummated as promptly as practicable on the terms contemplated hereby and otherwise act to render such Takeover Statute inapplicable to the foregoing.

Section 6.13 Section 16 Matters. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company Board shall take all such steps as may be required and permitted to cause the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including any dispositions of shares of Company Common Stock (including derivative securities with respect to such Company Common Stock) by each individual who is or will be subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act with respect to the Company, to be exempt under Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act.

Section 6.14 Delisting. Each of the parties agrees to cooperate with each other in taking, or causing to be taken, all actions necessary to delist the Company Common Stock from the Nasdaq Stock Market and terminate registration under the Exchange Act, provided that such delisting and termination shall not be effective until or after the Effective Time.

Section 6.15 Additional Agreements. In case at any time after the Effective Time any further action is necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement or to vest the Surviving Corporation with full title to all properties, assets, rights, approvals, immunities and

-66-

franchises of either of the Company or Merger Sub, the proper officers and directors of each party to this Agreement shall use all reasonable efforts to take all such necessary action.

Section 6.16 Financing.

-69-

Parent shall deliver to the Company true, correct and complete copies of all definitive agreements pursuant to which any such alternative source shall have committed to provide Parent and Merger Sub with any portion of the Debt Financing.

Parent, Merger Sub and the Company shall consult with each other before issuing any press release or public announcement with respect to the Merger or this Agreement and shall not issue any such press release or public announcement or make any such public statement without the prior consent of the other party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided, however, that a party may, without the prior consent of the other party (but after prior consultation, to the extent practicable under the circumstances) issue such press release or public announcement or make such public statement or filing with the SEC as may upon the advice of outside counsel be required by Law or the rules and regulations of any applicable stock exchange (including the Nasdaq Stock Market).

Immediately after such payment by the Company is made, the Company shall procure evidence of termination and release (in a form reasonably acceptable to Parent), or cause evidence of such termination and release to be provided to Parent, of all Liens on any assets securing the obligations (whether current, future, actual or contingent) of the Company, any Company Subsidiary or any other Person under or in connection with the Credit Agreement or the Mississippi Loan and any Liens perfected or subsisting under or as a result thereof.

-74-

Section 8.02 Company Termination Fee.

(a) If this Agreement is terminated (i) pursuant to Section 8.01(c)(i) or Section 8.01(d)(i) or (ii) pursuant to Section 8.01(b)(ii), Section 8.01(b)(iii) or Section 8.01(d)(ii), the Company shall pay Parent or its designee the Company Termination Fee by wire transfer of immediately available funds (x) in the case of any termination pursuant to clause (i) above, prior to or contemporaneous with such termination, and (y) in the case of any termination pursuant to clause (ii) above, only if (A) prior to such termination but after the date hereof, an Acquisition Proposal is made known to the Company or publicly announced by any Person (other than Parent, Merger Sub or their respective Affiliates) and (B) an Acquisition Proposal is consummated or the Company enters into an acquisition agreement for, or the Company Board (or any committee thereof) recommends to Shareholders, an Acquisition Proposal with any Person, in any case, within 12 months following such termination, in which case such payment shall be made prior to or contemporaneous with the consummation of, or entering into an acquisition agreement for, an Acquisition Proposal, provided that for purposes of this clause (B), each reference to “20%” in the definition of Acquisition Proposal shall be deemed to be a reference to “50%.” For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall the Company be obligated to pay, or cause to be paid, the Company Termination Fee on more than one occasion.

(b) As used herein, “Company Termination Fee” shall mean a cash amount equal to $9,150,000 except that in the event that this Agreement is terminated by the Company pursuant to Section 8.01(c)(i) and the Company (i) prior to the No-Shop Period Start Date, simultaneously enters into a definitive agreement with respect to a Superior Proposal or (ii) on or following the No-Shop Period Start Date but prior to the Excluded Party End Date, enters into a definitive agreement with an Excluded Party with respect to a Superior Proposal, then the Company Termination Fee shall mean a cash amount equal to $5,050,000.

(c) In the event that this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 8.01(c)(i) or Section 8.01(d)(i), the Company shall reimburse Parent or its designee for the documented reasonable out-of-pocket fees and expenses incurred by Parent, Merger Sub or any of their Affiliates in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby (“Deal Expenses”) up to an aggregate amount of $2,750,000, by wire transfer of immediately available funds not later than two Business Days after delivery to the Company of an itemization setting forth in reasonable detail all such reimbursable expenses, and such reimbursed expenses will be in addition to the amount of the Company Termination Fee. In the event that this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 8.01(b)(ii), Section 8.01(b)(iii) or Section 8.01(d)(ii), the Company shall reimburse Parent or its designee for Deal Expenses up to an aggregate amount of $2,750,000, by wire transfer of immediately available funds not later than two Business Days after delivery to the Company of an itemization setting

-75-

forth in reasonable detail all such reimbursable expenses, and such reimbursed expenses will be in addition to the amount of any Company Termination Fee; provided, however that such expenses shall not be payable by the Company until such time as the Company Termination Fee is payable. In the event that this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 8.01(b)(ii), the Company shall reimburse Parent or its designee for any Deal Expenses up to an aggregate amount of $1,000,000 not later than two Business Days after delivery to the Company of an itemization setting forth in reasonable detail such Deal Expenses, provided that any amounts paid by the Company to Parent pursuant to this sentence shall reduce on a dollar-for-dollar basis any Company Termination Fee that becomes due and payable pursuant to Section 8.02(a). The parties acknowledge that (i) the agreements contained in this Section 8.02 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated in this Agreement, (ii) the damages resulting from termination of this Agreement under circumstances where a Company Termination Fee is payable are uncertain and incapable of accurate calculation and therefore, the amounts payable pursuant to Section 8.02(a) are not a penalty but rather constitute liquidated damages in a reasonable amount that will compensate Parent for the efforts and resources expended and opportunities foregone while negotiating this Agreement and in reliance on this Agreement and on the expectation of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, and (iii) without the agreements contained in this Section 8.02, Parent would not have entered into this Agreement. If the Company fails to pay all amounts due to Parent on the dates specified, then the Company shall pay all costs and expenses (including legal fees and expenses) incurred by Parent in connection with any action or proceeding (including the filing of any lawsuit) taken by it to collect such unpaid amounts, together with interest on such amounts at the prime lending rate prevailing on the date that such payment was required to be made, as published in The Wall Street Journal, from the date that such amounts were required to be paid until the date actually received by Parent.

Section 8.03 Effect of Termination. In the event of termination of this Agreement by either Parent or the Company as provided in this Article VIII, this Agreement shall forthwith become null and void and have no further force or effect, and none of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company, any of their respective subsidiaries or any of the officers or directors of any of them shall have any liability of any nature whatsoever hereunder, or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby; provided, however, that (a) Section 6.01(a), Section 6.16(d), Article VIII and Article IX shall survive any termination of this Agreement, and (b) neither Parent, Merger Sub nor the Company shall be relieved or released from any liabilities or damages arising out of fraud or its intentional breach of this Agreement; provided, further, however, that receipt of the Company Termination Fee and to the extent applicable, Deal Expenses, as provided herein shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of Parent and Merger Sub under circumstances where the Company Termination Fee is payable and is actually paid by the Company.

The Company, Parent and Merger Sub each hereby waive (a) any defenses in any action for specific performance, including the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate, and (b) any requirement under any Law to post a bond or other security as a prerequisite to obtaining equitable relief. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Parent acknowledges and agrees that in the event of any breach or wrongful repudiation of this Agreement by Parent or Merger Sub, the actual damages incurred by the Company for purposes of determining damages to the extent available as a remedy to the Company under Section 9.09(c) would include the actual damages incurred by the Shareholders and Optionholders in the event that such Shareholders and Optionholders would not receive the benefit of the bargain negotiated by the Company on their behalf as set forth in this Agreement, provided that the maximum aggregate liability of Parent and Merger Sub under or in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be limited to the Merger Consideration and in no event shall the Company seek multiple or punitive damages against Parent or Merger Sub, or any recovery, judgment or damages or any kind against Parent or Merger Sub in excess of the Merger Consideration.

(b) The Company hereby agrees that specific performance as provided for in Section 9.09(a) shall be its sole and exclusive remedy with respect to breaches by Parent, Merger Sub or any other Person or otherwise in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby (whether in contract, tort or otherwise) and except as provided in Section 6.16(d) and Section 9.09(c), that it may not seek or accept any other form of relief that may be available for breach under this Agreement or otherwise in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby (including monetary damages).

(c) If a court of competent jurisdiction has declined to specifically enforce the obligations of Parent and Merger Sub to consummate the Merger pursuant to a claim for specific performance brought against Parent pursuant to this Section 9.09 and has instead granted an award of damages for such alleged breach against Parent, the Company may enforce such award and accept damages for such alleged breach only if, within 14 days following such determination, the Company confirms to Parent in writing that it is prepared and willing to consummate the Merger in accordance with this Agreement, and Parent is not willing to consummate the Merger within such 14-day period in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. In addition, the Company agrees to cause any legal proceeding still proceeding to be dismissed with prejudice at such time as Parent consummates the Merger in accordance with Article III of this Agreement or is otherwise willing to do so.

Any such counterpart, to the extent delivered by means of a fax machine or by .pdf, .tif, .gif, .jpeg or similar attachment to electronic mail (any such delivery, an “Electronic Delivery”) shall be treated in all manner and respects as an original executed counterpart and shall be considered to have the same binding legal effect as if it were the original signed version thereof delivered in person.

Any agreement on the party of a party hereto to any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in a written instrument signed on behalf of such party. The failure or delay of a party to assert any of its rights under this Agreement or otherwise shall not constitute a waiver of those rights. No single or

partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder shall preclude any other or future exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. Any waiver shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given and shall not constitute a waiver to any subsequent or other exercise of any right, remedy power or privilege hereunder.
