(d)           All Merger Consideration paid upon the surrender of Certificates in accordance with the terms hereof shall be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights

12

pertaining to the shares of Company Common Stock formerly represented by such Certificate and from and after the Effective Time there shall be no further registration of transfers of shares of Company Common Stock on the stock transfer books of the Surviving Corporation.  If, after the Effective Time, Certificates are presented to the Surviving Corporation, they shall be canceled and exchanged for the Merger Consideration provided for, and in accordance with the procedures set forth, in this Article 2.

Section 2.06          Company Stock Options; Restricted Stock Unit Awards; ESPP.

(a)           Immediately prior to the Effective Time by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holders thereof, each Company Stock Option, whether or not vested and exercisable, that is outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be automatically converted into the right to receive from Parent or the Surviving Corporation immediately after the Effective Time an amount in cash equal to the product obtained by multiplying (i) the excess, if any, of the Merger Consideration over the per share exercise price of such Company Stock Option, by (ii) the aggregate number of shares of Company Common Stock that were issuable upon exercise or settlement of such Company Stock Option immediately prior to the Effective Time (such product, the “Cash Amount”).  From and after the

shall cause its Representatives to, to the extent requested by Parent, (1) negotiate with Parent in good faith to make such adjustments to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Capital Commitment Letter so that such Acquisition Proposal would cease to constitute a Superior Proposal and (2) permit Parent and Parent’s Representatives to make a presentation to the Company Board regarding this Agreement and any adjustments with respect thereto, and at the end of such four (4) Business Day period (or two (2) Business Day period following an amended proposal), the Company Board (acting upon the recommendation of the Special Committee) again makes the determination in good faith (x) after consultation with the Company Financial Advisor and outside legal counsel, that the failure to make an Adverse Recommendation Change or authorize the termination of this Agreement would be reasonably likely to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under Applicable Law and (y) after taking into account any adjustment or modification to the terms of this Agreement proposed by Parent, that the Acquisition Proposal continues to be a Superior Proposal.

None of the Company, the Company Board or any committee of the Company Board shall enter into any agreement with any Third Party to limit or not to give prior notice to Parent of its intention to effect an Adverse Recommendation Change or to terminate this Agreement in light of a Superior Proposal.

(iii)                               In the case of an Intervening Event, no Adverse Recommendation Change pursuant to this Section 6.03(b) may be made

(A)                               until after the fourth (4th) Business Day following written notice from the Company advising Parent that the Company Board or any committee thereof intends to take such action and specifying the facts underlying the determination by the Company Board (acting upon the recommendation of the Special Committee) that an Intervening Event has occurred, and the reason for the Adverse Recommendation Change, in reasonable detail (a “Notice of Intervening Event”);

(B)                               unless during such four (4) Business Day period, the Company shall, and shall cause its Representatives to, to the extent requested by Parent, negotiate with Parent in good faith to enable Parent to amend this Agreement and the Capital Commitment Letter in such a manner that obviates the need for an Adverse Recommendation Change; and

(C)                               unless, by the expiration of such four (4) Business Day period, the Company Board (acting upon the recommendation of the Special Committee) determines in good faith, taking into consideration any amendments to this Agreement and the Capital Commitment Letter proposed by Parent (after consultation with the Company Financial Advisor and outside legal counsel), that the failure to effect an Adverse Recommendation Change would be reasonably likely to be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary duties under Applicable Law.

44

Any material change to the facts and circumstances relating to such Intervening Event shall require a new Notice of Intervening Event and the Company shall be required to comply again with the requirements of this Section 6.03(b)(iii).

(c)                                  Nothing contained in Section 6.02 or this Section 6.03 or elsewhere in this Agreement shall prohibit the Company from (i) taking and disclosing a position contemplated by Rule 14d-9, Rule 14e-2(a) or Item 1012(a) of Regulation M-A promulgated under the Exchange Act or (ii) making any disclosure to the Company’s stockholders if, in the good faith judgment of the Company Board (acting upon the recommendation of the Special Committee), after consultation with outside legal counsel, the failure to do so would be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary duties under Applicable Law or any disclosure requirements under Applicable Law; provided, however, that that the Company and the Company Board may not effect an Adverse Recommendation Change, except to the extent permitted by Section 6.03(b). In addition, it is understood and agreed that, for purposes of this Agreement, a factually accurate public statement by the Company that describes the Company’s receipt of an Acquisition Proposal and the operation of this Agreement with respect thereto, or any “stop, look and listen” communication by the Company Board pursuant to Rule 14d-9(f) of the Exchange Act, or any similar communication to the stockholders of the Company, shall not constitute an Adverse Recommendation Change or a proposal by the Company Board to withdraw or modify its recommendation of this Agreement, the Merger or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Section 6.04                             Approval of Merger.

(a)                                 As promptly as reasonably practicable following the date of this Agreement, the Company shall, in accordance with Applicable Law and the Company’s governing documents, duly set a record date for, call, give notice of, convene and hold a special meeting of the Company’s stockholders (including any adjournments and postponements thereof, the “Stockholder Meeting”) for the purpose of considering and taking action upon the matters requiring Stockholder Approval (with the record date and meeting date set in consultation with Parent).  Unless the Company Board (acting upon the recommendation of the Special Committee) has withdrawn the Company Recommendation in compliance with Section 6.03, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the definitive Proxy Statement to be mailed to the Company’s stockholders and to solicit from stockholders of the Company proxies in favor of the adoption and approval of this Agreement and shall take all other action necessary or advisable to secure the vote or consent of the holders of Shares required by Applicable Law to effect the Merger and, subject to Section 6.03 and Article 8, the Company Board shall cause the Company Recommendation to be included in the Proxy Statement.

(b)                                 As promptly as reasonably practicable after the execution of this Agreement, the Company shall prepare a proxy/information statement in preliminary form for the Stockholder Meeting (together with any amendments thereof or supplements thereto and any other required proxy materials, the “Proxy Statement”) seeking stockholder approval of the matters requiring Stockholder Approval and file it with the SEC. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to respond as promptly as reasonably practicable to any comments received from the SEC or its staff concerning the Proxy Statement, and to resolve any such comments, and shall cause the Proxy Statement to be mailed to its stockholders as promptly as reasonably practicable after the

45

resolution of any such comments.  The Company, Parent and Merger Sub shall notify the others promptly upon the receipt of any comments from the SEC or its staff or any other government officials and of any request by the SEC or its staff or any other government officials for amendments or supplements to the Proxy Statement and shall supply the others with copies of all correspondence between it or any of its Representatives, on the one hand, and the SEC, or its staff or any other government officials, on the other hand, with respect to the Proxy Statement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each of Parent and Merger Sub shall reasonably cooperate with the Company in connection with the preparation and filing of the Proxy Statement, including furnishing as promptly as practicable to the Company in writing upon request any and all information relating to it as may be required to be set forth in the Proxy Statement under Applicable Law. Parent shall ensure that such information supplied by it in writing for inclusion in the Proxy Statement will not, on the date it is first mailed to stockholders of the Company and at the time of the Stockholder Meeting or filed with the SEC (as applicable), contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary stated above, prior to filing or mailing the Proxy Statement or filing any other required filings (or, in each case, any amendment or supplement thereto) or responding to any comments of the SEC with respect thereto, the Company shall provide Parent with a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such document or response and shall consider Parent’s comments in good faith. The Company shall ensure that the Proxy Statement (i) will not, on the date it is first mailed to stockholders of the Company and at the time of the Stockholder Meeting, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading and (ii) will comply as to form in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Exchange Act. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company assumes no responsibility with respect to information supplied in writing by or on behalf of Parent or Merger Sub for inclusion or incorporation by reference in the Proxy Statement.  If, at any time prior to the Effective Time, any information relating to the Company, Parent or Merger Sub, or any of their respective Subsidiaries, officers or directors, should be discovered by Parent or the Company that should be set forth in an amendment to the Proxy Statement so that such document would not include any misstatement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading, then the party hereto that discovers such information shall promptly notify the other party hereto and, to the extent required by Applicable Law, the Company shall file as promptly as practicable with the SEC and disseminate to the holders of Company Common Stock an appropriate amendment or supplement containing such information.

Section 6.05                             Access to Information.  Subject to Applicable Law, Section 6.12(c), Section 6.17 and applicable contractual restrictions, upon reasonable notice, the Company shall (and shall cause its Subsidiaries to) afford Parent’s officers and Parent’s other authorized Representatives reasonable access, during normal business hours throughout the period prior to the Effective Time, to those of its properties, personnel, books, Contracts, records, Tax Returns and work papers as Parent may reasonably request to review.  The foregoing shall not require the Company (a) to provide access to or otherwise make available or furnish any books, Contracts, records or work papers governed by a confidentiality, non-disclosure or other similar agreement in effect as of the date hereof, (b) to provide access to or otherwise make

46

available or furnish any information if and to the extent that the provision of such information would, in the good faith judgment of the Company based on the advice of counsel, reasonably be expected to result in the loss of any attorney-client, work product or other legal privilege or protection (it being agreed that, (i) in the case of clauses (a) and (b), the Company shall give notice to Parent of the fact that it is withholding such information or documents and thereafter the Company and Parent shall use their respective reasonable best efforts to cause such information to be provided in a manner that would not reasonably be expected to violate such restriction or waive the applicable privilege or protection) and (ii) in the case of clause (a), the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any consents of third parties that are necessary to permit such access, (c) to provide access to or otherwise make available any information relating to the process conducted by the Company that led to the execution of this Agreement, or (d) to provide access to or otherwise make available or furnish any information if and to the extent that the provision of such information would, in the good faith judgment of the Company based on the advice of counsel, reasonably be expected to violate any Applicable Law.  All requests for information made pursuant to this Section 6.05 shall be directed to the executive officer or other Person designated by the Company.  All such information shall be deemed Evaluation Material (as such term is defined in the Confidentiality Agreement) and be governed by the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Parent and Merger Sub shall not, and shall cause their respective Representatives not to, contact any customer or supplier of the Company in connection with the Merger or any of the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement without the Company’s prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), and Parent and Merger Sub acknowledge and agree that any such contact shall be arranged with a Representative of the Company participating; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall be deemed to require Parent to obtain the Company’s prior written consent (or to all participation) regarding discussions in the ordinary course of business unrelated to the Merger or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement with Parent’s customers or suppliers (regardless of whether such Persons are also customers or suppliers of the Company).

Section 6.06                             Notice of Certain Events.  From the date of this Agreement until the Effective Time, each party hereto shall promptly notify the other in writing of:

(a) any inaccuracy or breach of any representation or warranty or breach of covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement that could reasonably be expected to cause, in the case of Parent and Merger Sub, any of the conditions set forth in Section 7.01 or Section 7.03 not to be satisfied, and, in the case of the Company, any of the conditions set forth in Section 7.01 or Section 7.02 not to be satisfied;

(b) any notice or other communication received by such party or any of its Subsidiaries from any Person alleging that the consent of such party is or may be required in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; and

(c) any notice or other communication received by such party or any of its Subsidiaries from any Governmental Authority in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

47

provided, however, that the delivery of any notice pursuant to this Section 6.06 shall not cure any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement or otherwise limit or affect the remedies available hereunder to the party receiving such notice.

Section 6.07                             Employee Benefit Plan Matters.

(a)                                 Each of Parent and Merger Sub acknowledges that the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement will constitute a change in control of the Company and/or a sale event or similar transaction of the Company (to the extent such concepts are applicable) for purposes of the Company Employee Plans, including under the severance agreements with the members of management of the Company listed in Schedule 6.07(a) (such members of management, the “Executive Employees” and such agreements, the “Severance Agreement”).  The Surviving Corporation or Parent shall pay to the applicable employees of the Company any amounts with respect to any severance obligations or other amounts that are payable under the Severance Agreements in accordance with their terms in the event of a qualified termination upon or within 24 months after the consummation of the Merger, provided, however, that Parent or the Surviving Corporation shall, as soon as practicable following the Closing (and in no event later than the next regular payroll date immediately following the Closing), pay to each Executive Employee, and to each employee covered under the Severance Policy, in each case whose employment is terminated on the Closing Date at the direction of Parent or the Surviving Corporation, the full cash change in control and/or severance amounts payable to such employee under the Severance Agreement or the Severance Policy, as applicable.

(b)                                 With respect to employees of the Company or its Subsidiaries immediately before the Effective Time who continue employment with Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any Subsidiary of Parent or the Surviving Corporation immediately following the Closing Date (“Continuing Employees”), Parent shall cause the service of each such Continuing Employee to be recognized for purposes of eligibility to participate, levels of benefits (but not for benefit accruals under any defined benefit pension plan) and vesting under each compensation, retirement, vacation, fringe or other welfare benefit plan, program or arrangement of Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of their ERISA Affiliates, but not including any equity compensation plans, programs, agreements or arrangements (collectively, the “Parent Benefit Plans”) in which any Continuing Employee is or becomes eligible to participate, but solely to the extent service was credited to such employee for such purposes under a comparable Company Employee Plan immediately prior to the Closing Date and to the extent such credit would not result in a duplication of benefits.

(c)                                  For a period of not less than twelve (12) months after the Closing Date, Parent shall provide each Continuing Employee with (i) (A) base salary and (B) cash incentive compensation opportunities, in each case in an amount at least equal to the same level that was provided to each such Continuing Employee immediately prior to the Closing Date, (ii) employee benefits (other than equity awards or other equity-based compensation or benefits) that are substantially similar in the aggregate to those provided to each such Continuing Employee immediately prior to the Closing Date under the Company Employee Plans set forth on Section 4.16 of the Company Disclosure Schedule, and (iii) honor the provisions of the Severance Policy.

48

(d)                                 With respect to each Parent Benefit Plan that is an “employee welfare benefit plan” as defined in Section 3(1) of ERISA in which any Continuing Employee is or becomes eligible to participate, Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause each such Parent Benefit Plan to (i) waive all limitations as to pre-existing conditions, waiting periods, required physical examinations and exclusions with respect to participation and coverage requirements applicable under such Parent Benefit Plan for such Continuing Employees and their eligible dependents to the same extent that such pre-existing conditions, waiting periods, required physical examinations and exclusions would not have applied or would have been waived under the corresponding Company Employee Plan in which such Continuing Employee was a participant immediately prior to his commencement of participation in such Parent Benefit Plan but, with respect to long-term disability, life insurance benefits and other non-health coverages, solely to the extent permitted under the terms and conditions of Parent’s applicable plans and insurance contracts in effect as of the Closing Date; provided, however, that for purposes of clarity, to the extent such benefit coverage includes eligibility conditions based on periods of employment, Section 6.07(b) shall control; and (ii) provide each Continuing Employee and their eligible dependents with credit for any co-payments and deductibles paid in the calendar year that, and prior to the date that, such Continuing Employee commences participation in such Parent Benefit Plan in satisfying any applicable co-payment or deductible requirements under such Parent Benefit Plan for such calendar year, to the extent that such expenses were recognized for such purposes under the comparable Company Employee Plan.

(e)                                  Parent agrees that, prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall, at the Company’s sole discretion, be permitted to pay to the Company’s employees bonuses in an aggregate amount not to exceed the amount detailed on Schedule 6.07(e), including all bonuses payable under or pursuant to any cash bonus plan, incentive plan or other similar plan or practice of the Company.  To the extent such payments do not occur prior to the Closing Date, Parent shall pay or cause the Surviving Corporation to pay such amounts as directed by the Company in the Company’s sole discretion, such payments to occur as promptly as practicable, but in any event no later than the first payroll period after the Closing Date.

(f)                                   If directed in writing by Parent at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall adopt written resolutions and a plan amendment to terminate the Company’s 401(k) plan and to fully (100%) vest all participants under such plan, such termination and vesting to be effective no later than one (1) Business Day preceding the Closing Date (but may be contingent on the Closing).  The form and substance of such written resolutions and plan amendment must be preapproved by Parent, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld.  The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to take such other actions in furtherance of terminating any such 401(k) plan as Parent may reasonably request.

(g)                                  Nothing in this Section 6.07 shall create any third-party beneficiary or other rights in any current or former employee, director or other service provider of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in respect of employment, continued employment, any benefits that may be provided, directly or indirectly, under any Company Employee Plan or Parent Benefit Plan.  Nothing in this Section 6.07 or elsewhere in this Agreement shall be deemed to be an amendment to any employee benefit plan or arrangement of any party, including any Company Employee Plan or Parent Benefit Plan.

49

Section 6.08                             State Takeover Laws.  If any “control share acquisition,” “fair price,” “moratorium” or other anti-takeover Applicable Law becomes or is deemed to be applicable to the Company, Parent, Merger Sub, the Merger or any other transaction contemplated by this Agreement or the Voting Agreements, then each of the Company, Parent, Merger Sub, as applicable, 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 anti-takeover Applicable Law inapplicable to the foregoing.

Section 6.09                             Obligations of Merger Sub.  Parent shall cause Merger Sub to perform its obligations under this Agreement and to consummate the Merger on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.

Section 6.10                             Voting of Shares.  Each Buyer Entity shall vote any shares of Company Common Stock beneficially owned by it or any of its Subsidiaries in favor of adoption of this Agreement at the Stockholder Meeting, and will vote or cause to be voted the shares of Merger Sub held by it or any of its Subsidiaries, as the case may be, in favor of adoption of this Agreement.

Section 6.11                             Director and Officer Liability.

(a)                                 For six (6) years after the Effective Time, Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, maintain officers’ and directors’ liability insurance in respect of acts or omissions occurring prior to the Effective Time covering each such person currently covered by the Company’s officers’ and directors’ liability insurance policy on terms with respect to coverage and amount no less favorable than those of such policy in effect on the date hereof; provided, however, that in satisfying its obligation under this Section 6.11(a), neither Parent nor the Surviving Corporation shall be obligated to pay annual premiums in excess of 250% of the amount per annum the Company paid in its last full fiscal year prior to the date of this Agreement (the “Current Premium”) and if such premiums for such insurance would at any time exceed 250% of the Current Premium, then the Surviving Corporation shall cause to be maintained policies of insurance that, in the Surviving Corporation’s good faith judgment, provide the maximum coverage available at an annual premium equal to 250% of the Current Premium.  The provisions of the immediately preceding sentence shall be deemed to have been satisfied if prepaid “tail” or “runoff” policies have been obtained by the Company prior to the Effective Time, which policies provide such directors and officers with coverage for an aggregate period of six (6) years with respect to claims arising from facts or events that occurred on or before the Effective Time, including, in respect of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided, however, that (i) the amount paid for such prepaid policies does not exceed 250% of the Current Premium and (ii) the material terms of such prepaid policies including coverage and amount are no more favorable in the aggregate to such directors and officers than the insurance coverage otherwise required under this Section 6.11(a).  If such prepaid policies have been obtained prior to the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall maintain such policies in full force and effect for their full term, and continue to honor the obligations thereunder.

50

(b)                                 From and after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall: (i) indemnify and hold harmless each individual who at the Effective Time is, or at any time prior to the Effective Time was, a director or officer of the Company or of a Subsidiary of the Company (each, an “Indemnified Party”) with respect to all claims, liabilities, losses, damages, judgments, fines, penalties, costs (including amounts paid in settlement or compromise) and expenses (including fees and expenses of legal counsel which shall be advanced following receipt of an undertaking by such Indemnified Party to repay such amounts if it is ultimately determined that such Indemnified Party was not entitled to indemnification under this Section 6.11) in connection with any Proceeding whenever asserted, based on or arising out of, in whole or in part, (A) the fact that an Indemnified Party was a director or officer of the Company or such Subsidiary or (B) acts or omissions by an Indemnified Party in the Indemnified Party’s capacity as a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company or such Subsidiary or taken at the request of the Company or such Subsidiary (including in connection with serving at the request of the Company or such Subsidiary as a director, officer, employee, agent, trustee or fiduciary of any other Person (including any employee benefit plan)), in each case under (A) or (B), at, or at any time prior to, the Effective Time (including any Proceeding relating in whole or in part to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or relating to the enforcement of this provision or any other indemnification or advancement right of any Indemnified Party subject to the undertaking in this Section 6.11 to repay advanced amounts), to the fullest extent permitted under Applicable Law; and (ii) fulfill and honor in all respects the obligations of the Company and its Subsidiaries pursuant to: (x) each indemnification agreement in effect between the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and any Indemnified Party as of the date of this Agreement, the form of which has been Made Available to Parent; and (y) any indemnification provision (including advancement of expenses subject to the undertaking in this Section 6.11 to repay advanced amounts) and any exculpation provision set forth in the certificate of incorporation or bylaws of the Company as in effect on the date of this Agreement.  Parent’s and the Surviving Corporation’s obligations under the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) shall continue in full force and effect for a period of six (6) years from the Effective Time; provided, however, that all rights to indemnification, exculpation and advancement of expenses under this Section 6.11 in respect of any claim asserted or made within such period shall continue until the final disposition of such claim.  If Parent or the Surviving Corporation fails to comply with its obligations in this Section 6.11(b) and an Indemnified Party commences a suit which results in a binding determination that the Parent or the Surviving Corporation failed to comply with such obligation, Parent shall pay such Indemnified Party its costs and expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees and disbursements) in connection with such suit, together with interest thereon  at the rate of interest per annum equal to the prime lending rate as published in the Wall Street Journal in effect on the date such payment was required to be made through the date of payment.

(c)                                  If Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of its successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers or conveys all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Parent or the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, shall assume the obligations set forth in this Section 6.11.

(d)                                 The provisions of this Section 6.11 are (i) intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each Indemnified Party, his or her heirs and his or her representatives

51

and (ii) in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other rights to indemnification or contribution that any such individual may have under any certificate of incorporation or bylaws, by contract or otherwise. The obligations of Parent and the Surviving Corporation under this Section 6.11 shall not be terminated or modified in such a manner as to adversely affect the rights of any Indemnified Party to whom this Section 6.11 applies unless (x) such termination or modification is required by Applicable Law or (y) the affected Indemnified Party shall have consented in writing to such termination or modification (it being expressly agreed that the Indemnified Parties to whom this Section 6.11 applies shall be third party beneficiaries of this Section 6.11; provided, however, that such rights of the Indemnified Parties as third-party beneficiaries under this Section 6.11 shall not arise unless and until the Merger is consummated).

Section 6.12                             Reasonable Best Efforts.

(a)                                 Without limiting the generality of anything contained in this Section 6.12, the Company and Parent shall cooperate with each other and use (and shall cause their respective Subsidiaries to use) their reasonable best efforts to take or cause to be taken all actions, and do or cause to be done all things, reasonably necessary, proper or advisable on its part under this Agreement, and Applicable Law to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement as soon as reasonably practicable, including preparing and filing as promptly as reasonably practicable all documentation to effect all necessary notices, reports and other filings and to obtain as promptly as practicable all consents, registrations, approvals, permits and authorizations necessary or advisable to be obtained from any Governmental Authority, including without limitation under the Antitrust Laws, in order to consummate the Merger and to fully carry out the purposes of this Agreement.  The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to take all actions reasonably requested by Parent to obtain waivers or consents from any Significant Customers, if required under any Contracts with Significant Customers, and any Third Parties whose waiver or consent is required under any Material Contract.

(b)                                 In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, each of the Company and Parent (and their respective Affiliates, if applicable) shall: (i) promptly, but in no event later than October 29, 2013, file any and all notices, reports and other documents required to be filed by such party under the HSR Act with respect to the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement; and shall use reasonable best efforts promptly to cause the expiration or termination of any applicable waiting periods under the HSR Act; and (ii) promptly make all filings, and use reasonable best efforts to timely obtain all consents, permits, authorizations, waivers, clearances and approvals, and to cause the expiration or termination of any applicable waiting periods, as may be required under any other applicable Antitrust Laws (to the extent required); (iii) as promptly as reasonably practicable provide such information as may reasonably be requested by the U.S. Department of Justice (the “DOJ”) or Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) under the HSR Act or by any other Governmental Authority in connection with the Merger and other transactions contemplated hereby, (iv) use reasonable best efforts to cause to be taken, on a timely basis, all other actions necessary or appropriate for the purpose of consummating and effectuating the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and (v) promptly take, and cause its Affiliates to take, all reasonable actions and steps requested or required by any Governmental Authority as a condition to granting any consent, permit, authorization, waiver, clearance and approvals, and to cause the prompt expiration or termination of any applicable waiting period and to resolve such objections, if any,

52

as the FTC and the DOJ, or other Governmental Authorities of any other jurisdiction for which consents, permits, authorizations, waivers, clearances, approvals and expirations or terminations of waiting periods are required with respect to the Merger or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided that the Company and its Subsidiaries and Parent and its Affiliates will only be required to take or commit to take any such action, or agree to any such condition or restriction, if such action, commitment, agreement, condition or restriction is binding on the Company or its Subsidiaries  or on Parent or its Affiliates only in the event the Closing occurs; provided, further that, subject to the obligations of Parent set forth in this Section 6.12(d) – (f), the Company and its Subsidiaries shall only be permitted to take or commit to take any such action, or agree to any such condition or restriction, with the prior written consent of Parent.

(c)                                  Without limiting the generality of anything contained in this Section 6.12, each party hereto shall (i) give the other parties prompt notice of the making or commencement of any request, inquiry, investigation, action or Proceeding by or before any Governmental Authority with respect to the Merger or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (ii) keep the other parties reasonably informed as to the status of any such request, inquiry, investigation, action or Proceeding, and (iii) promptly inform the other parties of any communication to or from the FTC, DOJ or any other Governmental Authority to the extent regarding the Merger or other transactions contemplated hereby, or regarding any such request, inquiry, investigation, action or Proceeding, and provide a copy of all written communications.  Subject to Applicable Law, in advance and to the extent practicable, each of Parent or Company, as the case may be, will consult the other on all the information relating to Parent or the Company, as the case may be, and any of their respective Subsidiaries that appear in any filing made with, or written materials submitted to, any third party and/or any Governmental Authority in connection with the Merger or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including the Proxy Statement) and shall incorporate all comments reasonably proposed by Parent or the Company, as the case may be.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Parent shall be entitled to direct and control (i) all communications, strategy and defense of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and (ii) all negotiations and settlement discussions, if necessary, with any Governmental Authority; provided, however, that Parent shall keep the Company informed of Parent’s contacts with any Governmental Authority, allow the Company’s lawyers to review and comment on submissions and presentations, and allow the Company’s lawyers to attend any meetings and participate in any telephone conference, without limitation; and provided, further, that if review of any information would be material in connection with any second request (or similar process), such information shall be provided solely to those individuals acting as outside antitrust counsel for the other parties provided that such counsel shall not disclose such information to such other parties and shall enter into a joint defense agreement with the providing party.

(d)                                 In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, Parent agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to avoid, eliminate or resolve each and every impediment and obtain all clearances, consents, approvals and waivers under Antitrust Laws that may be required by any Governmental Authority, so as to enable the parties to consummate the Merger as soon as reasonably practicable (and in any event no later than three (3) Business Days prior to the End Date), including without limitation (i) committing to or effecting, by consent decree, hold separate orders, trust, or otherwise, the sale, license, transfer, assignment or other disposition of assets or businesses of Parent or Company or their respective Subsidiaries, (ii) terminating,

53

relinquishing, modifying, transferring, assigning, restructuring, or waiving existing agreements, collaborations, relationships, ventures, contractual rights, obligations or other arrangements of Parent or Company or their respective Subsidiaries and (iii) creating or consenting to create any relationships, ventures, contractual rights, obligations, behavioral undertakings or other arrangements of Parent or Company or their respective Subsidiaries and, in each case, to enter, or offer to enter, into agreements and stipulate to the entry of an order or decree or file appropriate applications with any Governmental Authority in connection with any of the foregoing and in the case of actions by or with respect to the Company or its Subsidiaries or its or their businesses or assets, by consenting to such action by the Company (each a “Divestiture Action”).  Subject to Parent’s obligations in this Section 6.12, Parent shall have the sole and exclusive right to propose, negotiate, offer to commit and effect, by consent decree, hold separate order or otherwise, any and all Divestiture Actions or otherwise offer to take or offer to commit (and if such offer is accepted, commit to and effect) to take any Divestiture Action as may be required to resolve any Governmental Authority’s objections to the Merger or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided, however, that Parent shall consider in good faith the views of the Company and its counsel in connection therewith.  If any of the assets or businesses of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or of Parent or any of its Subsidiaries, or any combination thereof, are required to be divested in order to secure antirust approval from any Governmental Authority to satisfy the condition contained in Section 7.01(c), neither Parent nor its Subsidiaries shall be required to take, or cause to be taken, any Divestiture Action with respect to such assets or businesses if the net revenues from such assets and businesses for the twelve (12) months ended December 31, 2012 exceeded $15,000,000 in the aggregate.  For purposes of the immediately preceding sentence, “net revenues” shall mean gross revenues after commissions.

(e)                                  In the event that any litigation or other administrative or judicial action or Proceeding is commenced challenging the Merger or any of the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement and such litigation, action or proceeding seeks, or would reasonably be expected to seek, to prevent the consummation of the Merger or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, Parent and Merger Sub shall take any and all action to resolve any such litigation, action or proceeding and each of the Company, Parent and Merger Sub shall cooperate with each other and use its respective reasonable best efforts to contest any such litigation, action or proceeding and to have vacated, lifted, reversed or overturned any decree, judgment, injunction or other order, whether temporary, preliminary or permanent, that is in effect and that prohibits, prevents or restricts consummation of the Merger or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(f)                                   Neither Parent nor Merger Sub shall, nor shall they permit their respective Subsidiaries to, acquire or agree to acquire any rights, assets, business, Person or division thereof (through acquisition, license, joint venture, collaboration or otherwise), if such acquisition, would reasonably be expected to increase the risk of not obtaining any applicable clearance, consent, approval or waiver under Antitrust Laws with respect to the Merger or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Section 6.13                             Stockholder Litigation.  The Company shall as promptly as reasonably practicable (and in any event within two (2) Business Days) notify Parent in writing of, and shall give Parent the opportunity to review and comment on all material filings and

54

responses to be made by the Company in connection with (which such comments the Company will in good faith take into account), and participate and consult in the defense and settlement of, any Stockholder Litigation, and no such settlement, or other compromise or arrangement, of any Stockholder Litigation shall be agreed to without Parent’s prior written consent.  The Company shall keep the Parent reasonably informed with respect to the status of any Stockholder Litigation.

Section 6.14                             Public Announcements.  Parent and the Company shall consult with each other before issuing any press release or making any other public statement, or scheduling a press conference or conference call with investors or analysts, with respect to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby and shall not issue any such press release or make any such other public statement without the consent of the other party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, except as such release or announcement may be required by Applicable Law or any listing agreement with or rule of any national securities exchange or association upon which the securities of the Company or Parent, as applicable, are listed, in which case the party required to make the release or announcement shall consult with the other party about, and allow the other party reasonable time (taking into account the circumstances) to comment on, such release or announcement in advance of such issuance, and the party will consider such comments in good faith; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be required to consult with Parent before issuing any press release or making any other public statement with respect to an Adverse Recommendation Change effected in accordance with Section 6.03 or with respect to its receipt and consideration of any Acquisition Proposal.  The parties hereto agree that the initial press release to be issued with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby following execution of this Agreement shall be in the form heretofore agreed to by Parent and the Company.

Section 6.15                             Further Assurances.  At and after the Effective Time, the officers and directors of the Surviving Corporation shall be authorized to execute and deliver, in the name and on behalf of the Company or Merger Sub, any deeds, bills of sale, assignments or assurances and to take and do, in the name and on behalf of the Company or Merger Sub, any other actions and things to vest, perfect or confirm of record or otherwise in the Surviving Corporation any and all right, title and interest in, to and under any of the rights, properties or assets of the Company acquired or to be acquired by the Surviving Corporation as a result of, or in connection with, the Merger.

Section 6.16                             Section 16 Matters.  Promptly after the date hereof, the Company shall take all such steps as may be required to cause any dispositions of shares of Company Common Stock resulting from the transactions contemplated by this Agreement by each individual who is 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, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law.

Section 6.17                             Confidentiality.  Parent and the Company hereby acknowledge and agree that they are and shall continue to be bound by that certain letter agreement dated as of July 11, 2013, among Pamplona Capital Management LLC, Parent and the Company (the “Confidentiality Agreement”).

Section 6.18                             Financing.  Each of the Buyer Entities and Merger Sub shall take, or cause to be taken, all actions necessary, proper or advisable to arrange and obtain, and shall refrain from taking any actions that would prevent arranging or obtaining, the proceeds of the Capital Financing on the terms and conditions described in the Capital Commitment Letter.  In furtherance and not by way of limitation of the foregoing, the Buyer Entities and Merger Sub shall, (i) enter into definitive agreements with respect to the Capital Financing, (ii) satisfy, or cause to be satisfied, on a timely basis all conditions applicable to, and within the control of, any Buyer Entity, Merger Sub or their respective Representatives in such definitive agreements and (iii) cause such Capital Financing to be funded at the Closing such that Parent or Merger Sub shall pay all of the amounts payable by them in connection with the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby.  Parent shall give the Company prompt written notice of any material breach by any party to the Capital Commitment Letter, as well as the circumstances in reasonable detail of such breach.  The Buyer Entities and Merger Sub acknowledge and agree that the obtaining of the Capital Financing is not a condition to Closing.

Section 6.19                             Financing Cooperation.

(a)                                 Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall, and shall cause its Representatives to, use commercially reasonable efforts to provide to Parent and Merger Sub all cooperation that is reasonably requested by Parent in connection with any debt financing used to consummate the Merger and any other transactions contemplated hereby and thereby; provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything in this Section 6.19 to the contrary, no such requested cooperation may unreasonably or materially interfere with the ongoing operations of the Company and its Subsidiaries.  Such cooperation shall include, without limitation, (i) to the extent reasonably available to the Company, furnishing Parent and Merger Sub as promptly as practicable with financial and other pertinent information regarding the Company and its Subsidiaries to consummate the debt financing as may be reasonably requested in writing by Parent and identifying any portion of such information that constitutes material non-public information (the information described in this clause (i) together with the customary authorization and management representation letters referenced in clause (ii) below, being referred to as the “Required Information”), (ii) making senior management of the Company available at mutually agreeable times to participate in a reasonable number of meetings, presentations, due diligence sessions, and sessions with prospective lenders, investors and rating agencies in connection with any debt financing used to consummate the Merger and any other transactions contemplated hereby, (iii) assisting with the preparation of customary materials for rating agency presentations (and assisting in the obtaining of corporate, credit and facility ratings from ratings agencies), offering documents, private placement memoranda, bank information memoranda and all other material to be used in connection with any debt financing used to consummate the Merger and any other transactions contemplated hereby (including customary authorization and management representation letters) and all documentation and other information regarding the Company and its Subsidiaries required in connection with applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including U.S.A. Patriot Act of 2001 and requested in writing by Parent, (iv) permitting officers of the Company who will be officers of the Surviving Corporation after the Effective Time to execute and deliver any pledge and security documents, other definitive financing documents or other certificates or documents as may be reasonably requested by Parent (including a certificate of the chief executive officer or chief financial officer of the Company with respect to solvency matters and

56

using reasonable efforts to obtain consents of accountants at the sole cost of Parent to use their reports in any materials relating to any debt financing used to consummate the Merger and any other transactions contemplated hereby) and otherwise reasonably facilitating the pledging of collateral (subject to customary funds certain limitations); provided, however, that no obligation of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries under any such certificate, document or instrument to which the Company is a party shall be effective until the Effective Time and (v) otherwise cooperating with Parent and Merger Sub in satisfying the conditions precedent set forth in any definitive document related to any debt financing used to consummate the Merger and any other transactions contemplated thereby to the extent within the reasonable control of the Company.  None of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall be required to pay any commitment or other similar fee, pay any expense or incur any other liability in connection with any debt financing used to consummate the Merger and any other transactions contemplated hereby prior to the Effective Time.

(b)                                 The Company hereby consents to the use of its and its Subsidiaries’ trademarks, service marks or logos in connection with any debt financing used to consummate the Merger and any other transactions contemplated hereby; provided that such trademarks, service marks or logos are used solely in a manner that is not intended to or reasonably likely to harm or disparage the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or the reputation or goodwill of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective intellectual property rights.

(c)                                  The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to periodically update or correct any Required Information in order to ensure that such Required Information does not contain any untrue statement of material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements contained therein not materially misleading.

(d)                                 Nothing in this Section 6.19 shall require such cooperation to the extent it would (i) cause any condition to Closing set forth in Article 7 to fail to be satisfied or otherwise cause any breach of this Agreement (unless waived by Parent) or otherwise impair or delay the parties’ obligations under this Agreement, including the consummation of the Merger, (ii) require the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to take any action that will conflict with or violate the Company’s organizational documents or any Applicable Laws or result in the contravention of, or that would reasonably be expected to result in a violation or breach of, or default under, any Contract to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party (in each case prior to the Effective Time) or (iii) result in any equity holder, officer or director of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries incurring any personal liability with respect to any matters relating to any debt financing used to consummate the Merger and any other transactions contemplated hereby.

(e)                                  Parent shall promptly, upon request by the Company, reimburse the Company for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by the Company, its Subsidiaries and their respective Representatives in connection with any cooperation required by or requested in accordance with this Section 6.19.  The Buyer Entities and Merger Sub shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its Affiliates and their respective Representatives for and against any and all liabilities, losses, damages, claims, costs and expenses, interest, awards, judgments and penalties suffered or incurred by them in connection with the arrangement of any debt financing used to consummate the Merger and any other transactions contemplated hereby (other than arising from fraud, gross negligence, willful

57

misconduct or intentional misrepresentation) to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law and with appropriate contribution to the extent such indemnification is not available.

(f)                                   Each Buyer Entity acknowledges and agrees that, none of the Company, its Subsidiaries or their Representatives shall have any responsibility for, or incur any liability to, any Person under, any debt financing that a Buyer Entity or Merger Sub may raise in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any cooperation provided pursuant to this Section 6.19; provided, that upon the Closing the Company and its Subsidiaries may become guarantors or otherwise have obligations under the Buyer Entities’ debt financing.  All information provided pursuant to this Section 6.19 shall be deemed Evaluation Material (as such term is defined in the Confidentiality Agreement) and be governed by the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement.

(g)                                  Each Buyer Entity and Merger Sub acknowledges and agrees that (i) its obligation to consummate the Merger and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall not be conditioned in any respect on the performance by the Company or any other Person of any of the covenants contained in this Section 6.19, and (ii) none of the Buyer Entities nor Merger Sub shall be entitled to any remedies, whether at law or in equity (including pursuant to Section 8.02 or Section 9.09) in the event of any failure by the Company or any other Person to perform in any respect any of the covenants contained in this Section 6.19.

Section 6.20                             Director Resignations.  Prior to the Closing, other than with respect to any directors identified by Parent in writing to the Company ten (10) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to deliver to Parent resignations executed by each director of the Company (and, to the extent requested by Parent, any director (or any equivalent) of each Subsidiary of the Company) in office immediately prior to the Effective Time, which resignations shall be effective at the Effective Time.

Section 6.21                             Payoff of Credit Facility.  The Company shall obtain prior to the Closing a payoff letter (the “Payoff Letter”) for the Credit Facility, which will provide the dollar amount of all Indebtedness required to be paid under the Credit Facility in order to fully pay off the Credit Facility as of the Closing and to release all Liens thereunder upon such payment.  Parent shall pay in full at Closing such amount set forth in the Payoff Letter.

TERMINATION

Section 8.01                             Termination.  This Agreement may be terminated and the Merger may be abandoned at any time prior to the Closing:

(a)                                 by mutual written agreement of the Company and Parent (notwithstanding any approval of this Agreement by the stockholders of the Company);

(b)                                 by either Parent or the Company if the Closing Date has not occurred on or before March 31, 2014 (the “End Date”) (notwithstanding any approval of this Agreement by the stockholders of the Company); provided, however, that in the event the condition set forth in Section 7.01(c) shall not have been satisfied on or prior to the End Date, but all other conditions set forth in Article 7 shall have been satisfied, or are capable of being satisfied (or have been waived by the party or parties then entitled to give such waiver) on or prior to the End Date, then the End Date shall be extended without further action by the parties to July 31, 2014; provided, further, that a party shall not be permitted to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.01(b) if such party (including, if Parent is the terminating party, CSC, Holdings or Merger Sub) has breached in any material respects its obligations under this Agreement (other than any of the Company’s covenants under Section 6.19) and such breach proximately caused the failure of the conditions to Closing set forth in Article 7 to be satisfied;

60

(c)                                  by either Parent or the Company if any Governmental Authority of competent jurisdiction shall have issued a final and non-appealable Order or taken any other action enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (notwithstanding any approval of this Agreement by the stockholders of the Company); provided, however, that the party seeking to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.01(c) shall not have breached in any material respects its obligations under Section 6.12;

(d)                                 by either Parent or the Company if the Stockholder Approval has not been obtained by reason of the failure to obtain the required vote upon a final vote taken at the Stockholder Meeting (or any adjournment or postponement thereof);

(e)                                  by Parent, in the event of a breach by the Company of any representation, warranty, covenant or other agreement contained herein that (i) would result in any condition set forth in Section 7.02 not being satisfied and (ii) has not been cured prior to the earlier of the End Date or the thirtieth (30th) calendar day following Parent’s delivery of written notice describing such breach to the Company; provided, however, that Parent shall not be entitled to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.01(e) if, at the time of such termination, any Buyer Entity or Merger Sub is in material breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement;

(f)                                   by the Company, in the event of a breach by any Buyer Entity or Merger Sub of any representation, warranty, covenant or other agreement contained herein that (i) would result in any condition set forth in Section 7.03 not being satisfied and (ii) has not been cured prior to the earlier of the End Date or the thirtieth (30th) calendar day following the Company’s delivery of written notice describing such breach to Parent; provided, however, that the Company shall not be entitled to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.01(f) if, at the time of such termination, the Company is in material breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement (other than under Section 6.19);

(g)                                  by the Company, if prior to the Stockholder Approval the Company Board shall have effected an Adverse Recommendation Change in respect of a Superior Proposal in accordance with Section 6.03, the Company has complied in all respects (other than immaterial noncompliance) with Section 6.02, and substantially concurrently with such termination the Company enters into an Alternative Acquisition Agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal; provided that the right of the Company to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.01(g) is conditioned on and subject to the prior or concurrent payment by the Company to Parent of the Company Termination Fee in accordance with Section 9.04, and any purported termination pursuant to this Section 8.01(g) shall be void and of no force or effect if the Company shall not have paid the Company Termination Fee;

(h)                                 by the Company if (A) the conditions set forth in Section 7.01 and Section 7.02 (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied by actions taken at the Closing provided that each such condition is then capable of being satisfied at a Closing on such date) have been satisfied or waived and (B) Parent and Merger Sub fail to consummate the Merger within three (3) Business Days after the delivery by the Company to Parent of a notice to such effect; or

61

(i)                                     by Parent if (A) the Company Board or any committee thereof shall have effected an Adverse Recommendation Change or (B) the Company shall have willfully and materially breached its obligations under Section 6.02.

Section 8.02                             Effect of Termination.  If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 8.01, this Agreement shall become void and of no effect without liability of any party (or any Representative of such party) to each other party hereto; provided, however, that the provisions of this Section 8.02, the penultimate sentence of Section 6.05, Section 6.17, Section 6.19(f) and Article 9 shall survive any termination hereof pursuant to Section 8.01.  Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, none of the Buyer Entities, Merger Sub or the Company shall be relieved or released from any liabilities or damages (which the parties acknowledge and agree shall not be limited to reimbursement of expenses or out-of-pocket costs, and may include to the extent proven the benefit of the bargain lost by such party or such party’s equity holders (taking into consideration relevant matters, including the Aggregate Merger Consideration, including in consideration in respect of Company Equity Awards, other combination opportunities and the time value of money), which shall be deemed to be damages of such party) arising out of its knowing or intentional breach of any provision of this Agreement (other than, in the case of the Company, Section 6.19) or any other agreement delivered in connection herewith, subject only, with respect to any such liabilities of the Company, to Section 9.04(b), and with respect to any such liabilities of the Buyer Entities and Merger Sub, to Section 9.04(d).  For the avoidance of doubt, the failure of the Buyer Entities or Merger Sub to consummate the Merger on the date required by Section 2.01 after the conditions set forth in Article 7 (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing and which are capable of being satisfied on the Closing Date, assuming for purposes hereof that the date of termination is the Closing Date) have been satisfied or waived shall constitute a knowing and intentional breach by the Buyer Entities and Merger Sub, and the Buyer Entities shall be liable to the Company for such breach as provided herein notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary provided in this Agreement, including in the foregoing provisions of this Section 8.02, nothing shall relieve any party for fraud.

ARTICLE 9

(b)                                 In the event that:

(i)                                     this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 8.01(g); or

(iii)                               (A) this Agreement is terminated by Parent or the Company pursuant to Section 8.01(d) or by Parent pursuant to Section 8.01(e), (B) after the date of this Agreement and at or prior to the Stockholder Meeting (in the case of Section 8.01(d)) or at or prior to the time of termination of this Agreement (in the case of Section 8.01(e)) an Acquisition Proposal shall have been publicly made, commenced or submitted or publicly announced or made known to the Company Board and shall not have been withdrawn and (C) at any time after the execution of this Agreement and prior to the date which is 365 days after the termination of this Agreement, the Company consummates an Acquisition Proposal or the Company or any of its Representatives enters into any letter of intent, agreement in principle, acquisition agreement or other similar Contract or arrangement related to an Acquisition Proposal, in each case which is a binding and enforceable obligation of the Company to effect such Acquisition Proposal; provided that, for purposes of this Section 9.04(b)(iii), all percentages in the definition of Acquisition Proposal shall be replaced with 50%,

then the Company shall pay Parent a fee in an amount equal to $11,000,000 (the “Company Termination Fee”) by wire transfer of same-day funds to an account designated by Parent (i) in the case of Section 9.04(b)(i), within two (2) Business Days after such termination, (ii) in the case of Section 9.04(b)(ii), concurrently with, and as a condition precedent to, the termination of

(c)                                  For the avoidance of doubt, any payment made by the Company under Section 9.04(b) shall be payable only once with respect to Section 9.04(b) and not in duplication even though such payment may be payable under one or more provisions hereof.  Parent shall have the right to assign the right to receive the Company Termination Fee to one or more Persons in its sole discretion; provided, however, that, for the avoidance of doubt, any such assignment shall not in any manner whatsoever affect the parties’ agreements set forth in the last paragraph of Section 9.04(b).

(d)                                 In the event that this Agreement is terminated (i) by either Parent or the Company pursuant to Section 8.01(b), and at the time of such termination any of the conditions set forth in Section 7.01(b) (under conditions attributable to one or more Antitrust Laws) or Section 7.01(c) shall not have been satisfied or waived or (ii) by either Parent or the Company pursuant to Section 8.01(c) (under conditions attributable to one or more Antitrust Laws), and at the time of such termination under either Section 8.01(b) or Section 8.01(c), all conditions set forth in Article 7 other than those attributable to Antitrust Laws have been satisfied or waived by the party or parties then entitled to give such waiver (other than those conditions that by their terms are to be satisfied as of the Closing, provided that each such condition is then capable of being satisfied), then Parent shall pay the Company a fee equal to $15,000,000 (the “Parent Termination Fee”) by wire transfer of same-day funds on the first Business Day following such termination. In the event that the Company shall receive full payment pursuant to this Section 9.04(d), the receipt of the Parent Termination Fee shall be deemed to be liquidated damages for any and all losses or damages suffered or incurred by the Company in connection with this

65

Agreement (and the termination hereof), the transactions contemplated hereby (and the abandonment thereof) or any matter forming the basis for such termination, and the Company shall not be entitled to bring or maintain any claim, action or Proceeding against Parent or Merger Sub for damages or any equitable relief arising out of or in connection with this Agreement (other than equitable relief to require payment of the Parent Termination Fee), any of the transactions contemplated hereby or any matters forming the basis for such termination.  If Parent fails to pay the Parent Termination Fee and the Company commences a suit which results in a final, non-appealable judgment against Parent for the Parent Termination Fee or any portion thereof, then Parent shall pay the Company its costs and expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees and disbursements) in connection with such suit, together with interest on the Parent Termination Fee at the “prime rate” as published in The Wall Street Journal, Eastern Edition, in effect on the date such payment was required to be made through the date of payment (calculated daily on the basis of a year of 365 days and the actual number of days elapsed, without compounding).

(e)                                  For the avoidance of doubt, any payment made by Parent under Section 9.04(d) shall be payable only once with respect to Section 9.04(d) and not in duplication even though such payment may be payable under one or more provisions hereof.

Section 9.05                             Assignment; Benefit.  This Agreement shall not be assigned by any of the parties hereto (whether by operation of law or otherwise) without the prior written consent of the other parties.  Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, is intended to confer on any Person other than the parties hereto or their respective heirs, successors, executors, administrators and assigns any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement, except for (a) the rights of the Company’s stockholders to receive the Merger Consideration at the Effective Time pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, (b) the rights of the holders of Company Equity Awards to receive the payments in respect thereof following the Effective Time pursuant to Section 2.06, (c) the rights of the Indemnified Parties pursuant to Section 6.11 and (d) with respect to the Debt Financing Parties, Section 9.08 and Section 9.12, which, in each case, shall inure to the benefit of the Persons or entities benefiting therefrom who are hereby expressly intended to be third-party beneficiaries thereof and who may enforce the covenants contained therein.  For the avoidance of doubt, prior to the Effective Time, the rights and remedies conferred on the Company’s equity holders pursuant to Article 2 concerning payment of the Aggregate Merger Consideration may only be enforced by the Company acting on the behalf of the Company’s equity holders.  The parties hereto further agree that, except for those rights contained in clause (d) of the second preceding sentence, the rights of third-party beneficiaries under this Section 9.05 shall not arise unless and until the Merger is consummated.

Section 9.06                             Governing Law.  This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to the conflicts of law rules of such State.

Section 9.07                             Jurisdiction.  The parties hereto agree that any Proceeding seeking to enforce any provision of, or based on any matter arising out of or in connection with, this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby shall be brought in the Delaware Court of Chancery, New Castle County, or if that court does not have jurisdiction, a federal court sitting

66

in the State of Delaware.  Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of such court in respect of any legal or equitable action, suit or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, or relating to enforcement of any of the terms of this Agreement, and hereby waives, and agrees not to assert, as a defense in any such action, suit or proceeding, any claim that it is not subject personally to the jurisdiction of such court, that the action, suit or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum, that the venue of the action, suit or proceeding is improper or that this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby may not be enforced in or by such courts.  Each party agrees that notice or the service of process in any action, suit or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby shall be properly served or delivered if delivered in the manner contemplated by Section 9.01 or in any other manner permitted by law.

Section 9.08                             Waiver of Jury Trial.  EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY (INCLUDING, FOR THE AVOIDANCE OF DOUBT, ANY LEGAL PROCEEDINGS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO ANY DEBT FINANCING USED TO CONSUMMATE THE MERGER OR THE OTHER TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED THEREBY).

Section 9.09                             Specific Performance.

(a)                                 The parties hereto agree that irreparable harm would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached, and, accordingly that the parties hereto shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement or to enforce specifically the performance of the terms and provisions hereof, in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity.  The parties hereto agree that unless and until this Agreement is validly terminated in accordance with Section 8.01 and any dispute over the right to termination has been finally resolved, (i) the parties hereto shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions from a court of competent jurisdiction as set forth in Section 9.07 to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement (for the avoidance of doubt, including to specifically enforce a party’s obligation to effect the Closing, but excluding the Company’s covenants in Section 6.19), without bond, surety or other security being required and (ii) the right of specific enforcement is an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the Merger, and without that right, none of the Company, Parent, CSC, Holdings, or Merger Sub would have entered into this Agreement.  Each of the parties hereto agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief on the basis that any other of such parties has an adequate remedy at law or that any such injunction or award of specific performance or other equitable relief is not an appropriate remedy for any reason.  The parties hereto further agree that (x) following the Company’s valid termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 8.01, the Company shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions from a court of competent jurisdiction as set forth in Section 9.07 to enforce each of the Buyer Entities’ and Merger Sub’s surviving obligations herein, including with respect to the payment of monetary damages under Section 8.02 or the payments to which the Company is entitled under Section 9.04(d), and (ii) following Parent’s valid termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 8.01, Parent

67

shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions from a court of competent jurisdiction as set forth in Section 9.07 to enforce specifically the Company’s surviving obligations herein, including with respect to the payment of monetary damages under Section 8.02 or the payments to which Parent is entitled under Section 9.04(b).

(b)                                 The parties hereto further agree that (i) by seeking the remedies provided for in this Section 9.09, a party shall not in any respect waive its right to seek any other form of relief that may be available to a party under this Agreement (including monetary damages) for breach of any of the provisions of this Agreement or in the event that this Agreement has been terminated or in the event that the remedies provided for in this Section 9.09 are not available or otherwise are not granted, (ii) nothing set forth in this Section 9.09 shall require any party hereto to institute any Proceeding for (or limit any party’s right to institute any Proceeding for) specific performance under this Section 9.09 prior or as a condition to exercising any termination right under Article 8 (and pursuing damages after such termination), nor shall the commencement of any Proceeding pursuant to this Section 9.09 or anything set forth in this Section 9.09 restrict or limit any party’s right to terminate this Agreement in accordance with the terms of Article 8 or pursue any other remedies under this Agreement that may be available at any time and (iii) a party may seek and plead in the alternative any remedies available to it hereunder until a remedy is awarded.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, while the Company may pursue both a grant of specific performance as and only to the extent expressly permitted by this Section 9.09 and the payment of the Parent Termination Fee (only to the extent expressly permitted by Section 9.04), under no circumstances shall the Company be permitted or entitled to receive both such grant of specific performance to require Parent and Merger Sub to effect the Closing and payment of the Parent Termination Fee.

Section 9.10                             Severability.  If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction or other Governmental Authority to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party.  Upon such a determination, the parties agree to negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner, in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.

Section 9.11                             Buyer Entities Guarantees.

(a)                                 Each of Holdings and CSC shall cause Parent and Merger Sub to comply in all respects with each of the representations, warranties, covenants, obligations, agreements and undertakings made or required to be performed by Parent and Merger Sub in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Merger, and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement.  As a material inducement to the Company’s willingness to enter into this Agreement and perform its obligations hereunder, each of Holdings and CSC hereby unconditionally guarantees full performance and payment by Parent and Merger Sub of each of the covenants, obligations and undertakings required to be performed by Parent and Merger Sub under this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, subject to all terms, conditions and limitations contained in this Agreement, and hereby represents, acknowledges and agrees that any such breach of any

68

such representation and warranty or default in the performance of any such covenant, obligation, agreement or undertaking of Parent or Merger Sub shall also be deemed to be a breach or default of Holdings and CSC.

(b)                                 Parent shall cause Merger Sub to comply in all respects with each of the representations, warranties, covenants, obligations, agreements and undertakings made or required to be performed by Merger Sub in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Merger, and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement.  As a material inducement to the Company’s willingness to enter into this Agreement and perform its obligations hereunder, Parent hereby unconditionally guarantees full performance and payment by Merger Sub of each of the covenants, obligations and undertakings required to be performed by Merger Sub under this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, subject to all terms, conditions and limitations contained in this Agreement, and hereby represents, acknowledges and agrees that any such breach of any such representation and warranty or default in the performance of any such covenant, obligation, agreement or undertaking of Merger Sub shall also be deemed to be a breach or default of Parent.

(c)                                  The Company shall have the right, exercisable in its sole discretion, to pursue any and all available remedies it may have arising out of any such breach or nonperformance directly against any or all of the Buyer Entities and Merger Sub in the first instance.  As applicable, references in this Section 9.11 to “Merger Sub” shall also include the Surviving Corporation following the Effective Time.

Section 9.12                             Debt Financing Parties.   None of the Company or its Subsidiaries, affiliates, directors, officers, employees, agents, partners, managers, members or stockholders shall have any rights or claims against any Debt Financing Party in any way relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including any dispute arising out of or relating in any way to the performance of any financing commitments of such Debt Financing Party with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby, whether at law or equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise.  No Debt Financing Party shall have any liability (whether in contract, in tort or otherwise) to the Company or its Subsidiaries, affiliates, directors, officers, employees, agents, partners, managers, members or stockholders for any obligations or liabilities of any party hereto under this Agreement or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including any dispute arising out of or relating in any way to the performance of any financing commitments.  Without limiting the foregoing, it is agreed that any claims or causes of action brought against any Debt Financing Party in its capacity as such will not be brought in any forum other than the federal and New York State courts located in the Borough of Manhattan within the City of New York and shall be governed by the law of the State of New York.  It is further agreed that the Debt Financing Parties are intended third-party beneficiaries of, and shall be entitled to the protections of, this Section 9.12 and Section 9.08.

Section 9.13                             Entire Agreement; No Reliance.

(a)                                 This Agreement, the Confidentiality Agreement, the exhibits and schedules to this Agreement, the Company Disclosure Schedule and any documents delivered by the parties in connection herewith constitute the entire agreement among the parties with respect to the subject
