Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, and in accordance with the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”), at the Effective Time, Merger Sub shall be merged with and into the Company, and the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub shall thereupon cease, and the Company shall be the surviving corporation in the Merger (the “Surviving Corporation”) and shall continue its existence under the DGCL as a wholly-owned Subsidiary of Parent.

Section 1.2 Closing.

Unless this Agreement shall have been terminated and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement abandoned pursuant to the provisions of Article VII, the closing of the Merger (the “Closing”) shall take place at 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on a date to be specified by the parties (the “Closing Date”), which date shall be no later than the third business day after satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Article VI (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver of those conditions at such time), at the offices of ▇▇▇▇▇ Lovells US LLP, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, unless another time, date or place is agreed to in writing by the parties hereto.

The Merger shall become effective upon the filing of the Certificate of Merger or at such later time as is agreed to by the parties hereto and specified in the Certificate of Merger (the time at which the Merger becomes effective is herein referred to as the “Effective Time”).

Section 1.4 Effects of the Merger.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and subject thereto, at the Effective Time, all the properties, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of the Company and Merger Sub shall vest in the Surviving Corporation, and all debts, liabilities, obligations and duties of the Company and Merger Sub shall become the debts, liabilities, obligations and duties of the Surviving Corporation.

(a) Subject to Section 5.7(b), at the Effective Time the certificate of incorporation of the Company, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be amended in the Merger to be in the form of Exhibit A hereto and, as so amended, such certificate of incorporation shall be the certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter amended as provided therein or by applicable Law.

(b) Subject to Section 5.7(b), at the Effective Time the bylaws of Merger Sub, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be the bylaws of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter amended as provided therein or by applicable Law.

Section 1.6 Directors and Officers of the Surviving Corporation.

Each of the parties hereto shall take all necessary action to cause the directors and officers of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time to be the directors and officers of the Surviving Corporation immediately following the Effective Time, each to hold office in accordance with the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Surviving Corporation until their respective successors are duly elected or appointed and qualified or their earlier death, resignation or removal in accordance with the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Surviving Corporation.

ARTICLE II EFFECT OF THE MERGER ON THE CAPITAL STOCK; EXCHANGE OF CERTIFICATES; COMPANY EQUITY AWARDS

Section 2.1 Effect on Capital Stock.

At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or the holder of any shares of Company Common Stock (“Shares”) or of any shares of capital stock of Merger Sub:

(a) Capital Stock of Merger Sub. Each issued and outstanding share of capital stock of Merger Sub shall be automatically converted into and become one validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Surviving Corporation.

(b) Cancellation of Company and Parent-Owned Stock. Any Shares that are owned by the Company or owned by any direct or indirect wholly-owned Subsidiary of the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time (excluding any Shares held in the rabbi trusts established for the Deferred Compensation Plans, which shall instead be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration (defined below) in accordance with Section 2.1(c)), and any Shares owned by Parent, Merger Sub or any other direct or indirect wholly-owned Subsidiary of Parent immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be automatically canceled and shall cease to exist and no consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor.

(c) Conversion of Company Common Stock. Each issued and outstanding Share (other than Shares to be canceled in accordance with Section 2.1(b) and Dissenting Shares) shall be automatically converted into the right to receive an amount in cash, without interest, equal to $27.00 (the “Merger Consideration”). The Shares that are so converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to this Section 2.1(c) are referred to herein as the “Merger Shares.”

(d) Adjustment to Merger Consideration. The Merger Consideration shall be adjusted appropriately to reflect the effect of any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend (including any dividend or distribution of securities convertible into Company Common Stock), cash dividend, reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, combination, exchange of shares or other like change with respect to the Company Common Stock occurring on or after the date hereof and prior to the Effective Time.

- 3-

(e) Appraisal Rights. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Shares that are issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and which are held by a stockholder who did not vote in favor of the Merger (or consent thereto in writing or who otherwise did not validly waive their right to appraisal) and who is entitled to demand and properly demands appraisal of such Shares pursuant to, and who complies in all respects with, the provisions of Section 262 of the DGCL (the “Dissenting Stockholders”), shall not be converted into or be exchangeable for the right to receive the Merger Consideration (the “Dissenting Shares”), but instead such holder shall be entitled to payment of the fair value of such Shares in accordance with the provisions of Section 262 of the DGCL (and at the Effective Time, such Dissenting Shares shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and shall cease to exist, and such holder shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the fair value of such Dissenting Shares in accordance with the provisions of Section 262 of the DGCL), unless and until such holder shall have failed to perfect or shall have effectively withdrawn or lost rights to appraisal under the DGCL. If any Dissenting Stockholder shall have failed to perfect or shall have effectively withdrawn or lost such right, such stockholder’s Shares shall thereupon be treated as if they had been converted into and become exchangeable for the right to receive, as of the Effective Time, the Merger Consideration for each such Share, in accordance with Section 2.1(c), without any interest thereon. The Company shall give Parent (i) prompt notice of any written demands for appraisal of any Shares, attempted withdrawals of such demands and any other instruments served pursuant to the DGCL and received by the Company relating to stockholders’ rights of appraisal, and (ii) the opportunity to participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to demands for appraisal under the DGCL. The Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of Parent, voluntarily make any payment with respect to, or settle, or offer or agree to settle, any such demand for payment or waive any failure by a stockholder to timely comply with the requirements of the DGCL to perfect or demand appraisal rights. Any portion of the Merger Consideration made available to the Paying Agent pursuant to Section 2.2 to pay for Shares for which appraisal rights have been perfected shall be returned to Parent upon demand.

Section 2.2 Exchange of Certificates.

(a) Paying Agent. Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall designate a bank or trust company to act as paying agent in connection with the Merger (the “Paying Agent”). Promptly after the Effective Time, Parent shall deposit the aggregate Merger Consideration to which holders of Merger Shares shall become entitled pursuant to Section 2.1(c) with the Paying Agent, for the benefit of the holders of the Merger Shares outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. Such funds may be invested by the Paying Agent as directed by Parent or the Surviving Corporation; provided, that (i) no such investment gains or losses thereon shall affect the Merger Consideration payable to the holders of Shares and following any losses that result in the amount of funds in the Payment Fund being insufficient to pay the portion of the aggregate Merger Consideration that remains unpaid, Parent shall promptly provide additional funds to the Paying Agent for the benefit of the former stockholders of the Company to the extent of such insufficiency and (ii) such investments shall be in obligations of, or guaranteed by, the United States of America. The Payment Fund shall not be used for any other purpose, except as provided in this Agreement.

- 4-

(b) Payment Procedures. Promptly after the Effective Time but in any event no later than five business days after the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Paying Agent to mail to each holder of record of a Merger Share (i) a letter of transmittal (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the certificates representing the Merger Shares (the “Certificates”) and to any uncertificated Merger Shares held in book-entry form (“Uncertificated Shares”) shall pass, only upon delivery of the Certificates or transfer of the Uncertificated Shares to the Paying Agent, and which shall be in such form and shall have such other provisions as is customary) and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates or transfer of the Uncertificated Shares in exchange for payment of the Merger Consideration. Upon (i) surrender of a Certificate for cancellation to the Paying Agent, together with such letter of transmittal, duly completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions (and such other customary documents as may reasonably be required by the Paying Agent), or (ii) receipt of an “agent’s message” by the Paying Agent (or such other evidence, if any, of transfer as the Paying Agent may require) in the case of book-entry transfer of Uncertificated Shares, the holder of such Certificate or Uncertificated Shares shall be entitled to receive promptly in exchange therefor the Merger Consideration, without interest, for each Merger Share formerly represented by such Certificate or Uncertificated Share, and the Certificate or Uncertificated Share so surrendered or transferred shall forthwith be canceled. If payment of the Merger Consideration is to be made to a Person other than the Person in whose name the surrendered Certificate or transferred Uncertificated Shares is registered, it shall be a condition of payment that (x) the Certificate so surrendered shall be properly endorsed or shall otherwise be in proper form for transfer or such Uncertificated Shares shall be properly transferred and (y) the Person requesting such payment shall have paid any transfer and other Taxes required by reason of the payment of the Merger Consideration in respect thereof or shall have established to the reasonable satisfaction of the Surviving Corporation that such Tax either has been paid or is not applicable. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 2.2, each Certificate or Uncertificated Share shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive the Merger Consideration as contemplated by this Article II, without interest. If payment of the Merger Consideration is to be made to the trustee of the rabbi trusts established for the Deferred Compensation Plans, the trustee shall promptly distribute the Merger Consideration in accordance with the terms of the Deferred Compensation Plans and applicable trust agreements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, as to holders of Restricted Stock, Parent shall cause the Paying Agent to distribute the Merger Consideration allocable to such shares of Restricted Stock to the Company for payment as Adjusted Award Consideration pursuant to Section 2.3(c).

(c) Transfer Books; No Further Ownership Rights in Company Capital Stock. The Merger Consideration paid in respect of the Merger Shares upon the surrender for exchange of Certificates or transfer of Uncertificated Shares in accordance with the terms of this Article II shall be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to the Merger Shares previously represented by such Certificates or Uncertificated Shares, and at the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed and thereafter there shall be no further registration of transfers on the stock transfer books of the Surviving Corporation of the Shares that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. From and after the Effective Time, the holders of Merger Shares shall cease to have any rights with respect to such Shares, except the right to receive the Merger Consideration to be paid in consideration therefor, without interest, upon compliance with the provisions of Section 2.2(b) or as otherwise provided by applicable Law. Subject to the last sentence of Section 2.2(e), if, at any time after the Effective Time, Certificates or Uncertificated Shares are presented to the Surviving Corporation for any reason, they shall be canceled and exchanged as provided in this Article II.

- 5-

(d) Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. If any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by Parent or the Paying Agent, the posting by such Person of a bond, in such customary amount and upon such customary terms as Parent or the Paying Agent may direct, as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, the Paying Agent will pay, in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate, the applicable Merger Consideration to be paid in respect of the Merger Shares formerly represented by such Certificate, as contemplated by this Article II.

(e) Termination of Fund. At any time following 12 months after the Closing Date, Parent shall be entitled to require the Paying Agent to deliver to it any funds (including any interest received with respect thereto) that had been made available to the Paying Agent and which have not been disbursed to holders of Merger Shares, and thereafter such holders shall be entitled to look only to Parent (subject to abandoned property, escheat or other similar laws) as general creditors thereof with respect to the payment of any Merger Consideration that may be payable upon surrender of any Certificates or transfer of any Uncertificated Shares held by such holders, as determined pursuant to this Agreement, without any interest thereon. Any amounts remaining unclaimed by such holders at such time at which such amounts would otherwise escheat to or become property of any Governmental Authority shall become, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, the property of Parent, free and clear of all claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.

(f) No Liability. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, none of the parties hereto, the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent shall be liable to any Person for Merger Consideration delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law.

(g) Withholding Taxes. Parent, the Surviving Corporation and the Paying Agent, as the case may be, shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the Merger Consideration, the Stock Option Payments and the Adjusted Award Consideration otherwise payable to a holder of Merger Shares, Options or a Restricted Stock Award, as applicable, pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as may be required to be deducted and withheld with respect to the making of such payment under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Code”), or under any provision of state, local or foreign tax Law. To the extent amounts are so withheld, (i) Parent, the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, shall remit such withheld amounts to the applicable Governmental Authority, and (ii) the withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.

- 6-

Section 2.3 Company Stock Options; Restricted Stock.

(a) Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall take all actions necessary to provide that (i) each Option outstanding as of the Closing Date shall be fully vested and exercisable prior to the Effective Time and (ii) each Option outstanding under the Company Stock Plans immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be canceled and terminated and of no further force or effect as of the Effective Time and, unless exercised prior to the Effective Time, shall, to the extent the exercise price thereof is less than the Merger Consideration, instead represent solely the right to receive from the Company payment in cash (subject to any applicable withholding or other Taxes required by applicable Law to be withheld in accordance with Section 2.2(g)) of an amount equal to the product of (A) the total number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Option and (B) the excess, if any, of the Merger Consideration over the exercise price per share of Company Common Stock subject to such Option (each such amount payable hereunder, if any, or any other amount paid in respect of an Option, a “Stock Option Payment”). The Company shall pay the Stock Option Payments, if any, promptly following the Effective Time to the persons entitled thereto in accordance with the Company’s standard payroll practices.

(b) Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall take all actions necessary to provide holders of Options with written notice that (i) their Options may be fully exercised prior to the Effective Time and (ii) as of the Effective Time, all Options shall be canceled and terminated and of no further force or effect as described in Section 2.3(a).

(c) Prior to the Effective Time, the Company Board of Directors (or, if appropriate or required, any committee of the Company Board of Directors administering the 2010 Stock Incentive Plan) will adopt such resolutions and the Company shall take all such other actions as may be required to adjust the terms of all outstanding awards of Restricted Stock (each, a “Restricted Stock Award”) to provide that, at the Effective Time, each Restricted Stock Award outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be deemed to instead constitute an award of the Merger Consideration per Share (the “Adjusted Award Consideration”) with respect to each Share of Restricted Stock formerly represented by such Restricted Stock Award; provided, that all other terms and conditions applicable to such Restricted Stock Award shall remain the same following the Effective Time (other than for such ministerial changes as necessary to administer the Restricted Stock Award as an award of the Adjusted Award Consideration), such that following the Effective Time, the Adjusted Award Consideration shall remain subject to the same vesting, forfeiture and other restrictions as applied to the Restricted Stock awarded under the Restricted Stock Award prior to such adjustment.

(d) Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall take all actions necessary (i) to terminate the Equity Compensation Plan effective at or prior to the Effective Time, (ii) to terminate the 2010 Stock Incentive Plan effective at or prior to the Effective Time as to any future grant of any equity awards, and (iii) to terminate all other Company Stock Plans effective at or prior to the Effective Time that have not previously been terminated.

- 7-

(e) Without limiting the foregoing, the Company shall take all actions necessary to ensure that the Company shall not, at the Effective Time, be bound by any options, stock appreciation rights, or other rights or agreements which would entitle any Person, other than Parent and Merger Sub, to own any capital stock of the Surviving Corporation or to receive any payment in respect thereof other than (1) the Stock Option Payment, if any, as described in Section 2.3(a), (2) the Adjusted Award Consideration, if any, payable in respect of any Restricted Stock Award, as described in Section 2.3(c), or (3) any Dissenting Stockholder’s, if any, right to receive payment of the fair value of Dissenting Shares, as described in Section 2.1(e).

ARTICLE III REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE COMPANY

The Company represents and warrants to Parent and Merger Sub as follows, except as set forth in (i) the disclosure schedule, with specific reference to the Section or subsection of this Agreement to which the information stated in such disclosure relates (it being agreed that disclosure of any information in a particular section or subsection of the Company Disclosure Schedule shall be disclosed with respect to any other section or subsection of this Agreement to the extent such disclosure is accompanied by an appropriate cross reference to such other section or subsection), delivered by the Company to Parent simultaneously with the execution of this Agreement and signed by an authorized officer of the Company solely in his or her capacity as an officer of the Company (the “Company Disclosure Schedule”) and (ii) the Company SEC Documents filed with the SEC since January 1, 2012 and prior to June 3, 2012 and publicly available on the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (the “SEC”) ▇▇▇▇▇ system (the “Recent SEC Documents”), (but only as and to the extent specifically set forth on the face thereof (and not incorporated by reference therein) and excluding (A) any disclosure that constitutes a “risk factor,” including disclosures contained in the “Risk Factors” sections of such Recent SEC Documents, that relates to forward-looking statements to the extent they are cautionary, predictive or forward-looking in nature, including disclosures contained in the “Forward-Looking Statements” sections of such Recent SEC Documents, or any disclosures referred to in the “Unresolved Staff Comments” sections of such Recent SEC Documents and (B) any documents filed as exhibits to such Recent SEC Documents to the extent the information is only set forth in such exhibits); provided that the foregoing exception in clause (ii) shall not apply to the representations and warranties contained in Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, 3.18, 3.19 and 3.20.

Section 3.1 Organization, Standing and Corporate Power.

(a) Each of the Company and its Subsidiaries is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the Laws of the jurisdiction in which it is incorporated and has all requisite corporate power and authority necessary to own or lease all of its properties and assets and to carry on its business as it is now being conducted. Each of the Company and its Subsidiaries is duly licensed or qualified to do business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the nature of the business conducted by it or the character or location of the properties and assets owned or leased by it makes such licensing or qualification necessary, except where the failure to be so licensed, qualified or in good standing, individually or in the aggregate, does not have and would not reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Company Material Adverse Effect” shall mean any event, circumstance, change, occurrence or effect that (i) is materially adverse to, or has a material adverse effect on, the business, properties, financial condition or results of

- 8-

operations of the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole; or (ii) prevents or materially adversely affects the Company’s ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement or to consummate the Transactions, excluding any such event, circumstance, change, occurrence or effect arising out of, resulting from or attributable to: (A) acts of war or major armed hostilities, sabotage, or terrorism or any escalation or worsening of any acts of war, major armed hostilities, sabotage or terrorism; (B) compliance with the terms of, or the taking of any action required by, this Agreement; (C) changes in Laws (other than changes that have a disproportionate adverse impact on the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole compared to other businesses competing in the industries in which the Company and its subsidiaries do business) or GAAP (or any interpretation thereof); (D) any change in the price or trading volume of the Company Common Stock in and of itself (it being understood that the circumstances underlying such change may be deemed to constitute, or may be taken into account in determining whether there has been, a Company Material Adverse Effect); (E) any change in any analyst rating of the Company in and of itself (it being understood that the circumstances underlying such change may be deemed to constitute, or may be taken into account in determining whether there has been, a Company Material Adverse Effect); (F) the announcement of the Transactions or the taking of any action pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise with the express written consent of Parent, including the impact thereof on the relationships of the Company or its Subsidiaries with customers, suppliers, distributors, consultants, employees or independent contractors or any other Person with whom the Company or its Subsidiaries has any relationship; (G) changes generally affecting the industries in which the Company and its Subsidiaries operate, other than changes that have a disproportionate adverse impact on the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole compared to other businesses competing in such industries; (H) any change generally affecting the economy, financial or securities markets or political or economic conditions, or regulatory conditions (other than changes in regulatory conditions that have a disproportionate adverse impact on the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole compared to other businesses competing in the industries in which the Company and its Subsidiaries conduct business) in any geographic region in which the Company and its Subsidiaries conduct business (it being understood that the circumstances underlying such change may be deemed to constitute, or may be taken into account in determining whether there has been, a Company Material Adverse Effect); (I) any failure, in and of itself, by the Company to meet any internal or published projections, forecasts, or predictions of revenue, earnings or other financial measure (it being understood that the circumstances underlying such failure may be deemed to constitute, or may be taken into account in determining whether there has been, a Company Material Adverse Effect) and (J) the Company’s operations in the ordinary and usual course of business in compliance with Section 5.1.

(b) Section 3.1(b) of the Company Disclosure Schedule lists all Subsidiaries of the Company together with the jurisdiction of organization of each such Subsidiary. All the outstanding shares of capital stock of, or other equity interests in, each Subsidiary of the Company have been duly authorized and validly issued and are fully paid and nonassessable (to the extent such concepts are applicable) and are owned directly or indirectly by the Company free and clear of all liens, pledges, charges, mortgages, encumbrances, adverse rights or claims and security interests of any kind or nature whatsoever (including any restriction on the right to vote or transfer the

- 9-

same, except for such transfer restrictions of general applicability as may be provided under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Securities Act”) and the “blue sky” laws of the various States of the United States (collectively, “Liens”)). As of the date of this Agreement, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has received any notice or claim, written or oral, challenging the Company’s ownership of the Subsidiaries set forth on Section 3.1(b) of the Company Disclosure Schedule, or claiming any ownership interest in such Subsidiaries. The books and records of the Company and its Subsidiaries do not contain any instrument, certificate, agreement or other document that is inconsistent with, or that would reasonably tend to call into question, the ownership by the Company, either directly or indirectly, of all of the outstanding shares of capital stock of, or other equity interests in, each Subsidiary set forth on Section 3.1(b) of the Company Disclosure Schedule. Except as set forth in Section 3.1(b) of the Company Disclosure Schedule, the Company does not own, directly or indirectly, any capital stock, voting securities or equity interests in any Person.

(c) The Company has delivered or made available to Parent correct and complete copies of its certificate of incorporation and bylaws, as amended (the “Company Charter Documents”), and correct and complete copies of the certificates of incorporation and bylaws (or comparable organizational documents) of each of its Subsidiaries (the “Subsidiary Organizational Documents”), in each case as amended to the date of this Agreement.

(q) The unpaid Taxes of the Company and its Subsidiaries (A) did not as of the Balance Sheet Date, exceed the reserve for Tax liability (rather than any reserve for deferred Taxes established to reflect timing differences between book and Tax income) set forth on the face of the Company Balance Sheet (rather than in any notes thereto) and (B) do not exceed that reserve as adjusted for the passage of time through the Closing Date in accordance with the past custom and practice of the Company and its Subsidiaries in filing their Tax Returns.

No Company Plan is subject to Title IV of ERISA or is a “multiemployer plan”, as defined in Section 3(37) of ERISA (a “Multiemployer Plan”), or is or has been subject to Sections 4063 or 4064 of ERISA.

- 21-

(b) Correct and complete copies of the following documents with respect to each of the Company Plans have been delivered or been made available to Parent by the Company to the extent applicable: (i) any plans and related trust documents, insurance contracts or other funding arrangements, and all amendments thereto; (ii) the most recent Forms 5500 and all schedules thereto, (iii) the most recent actuarial report, if any; (iv) the most recent IRS determination or opinion letter; (v) the most recent summary plan descriptions; and (vi) written summaries of all non-written Company Plans.

(c) The Company Plans have been maintained, in all material respects, in accordance with their terms and with all applicable provisions of ERISA, the Code and other Laws.

(d) The Company Plans intended to qualify under Section 401 or for other tax-favored treatment under Subchapter B of Chapter 1 of Subtitle A of the Code have received a determination from the IRS that they are so qualified or are the subject of a favorable opinion letter, and any trusts intended to be exempt from federal income taxation under the Code are so exempt. Nothing has occurred with respect to the operation of the Company Plans that could reasonably be expected to cause the loss of such qualification or exemption, or the imposition of any liability, penalty or tax under ERISA or the Code.

(e) All contributions required to have been made under any of the Company Plans or by Law (without regard to any waivers granted under Section 412 of the Code), have been timely made.

(f) Except as set forth on Section 3.11(f) of the Company Disclosure Schedule, there are no pending actions, claims or lawsuits arising from or relating to the Company Plans or the assets thereof (other than routine benefit claims), nor does the Company have any Knowledge of facts that could reasonably be expected to form the basis for any such claim or lawsuit that would, or would reasonably be expected to be, material to the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole.

(g) Except as set forth on Section 3.11(g) of the Company Disclosure Schedule, none of the Company Plans provide for post-employment life insurance or health insurance coverage or benefits for any participant or any beneficiary of a participant, except as may be required under Part 6 of the Subtitle B of Title I of ERISA and at the expense of the participant or the participant’s beneficiary.

- 22-

(h) Except as set forth on Section 3.11(h) of the Company Disclosure Schedule, neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement nor the consummation of the Transactions will (i) result in any payment becoming due to any employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, (ii) increase any benefits otherwise payable under any Company Plan, (iii) result in the acceleration of the time of payment or vesting of any rights with respect to benefits under any such plan, or (iv) require any contributions or payments to fund any obligations under any Company Plan.

(i) No individual who performs services for the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (other than through a contract with an organization other than such individual) should be treated as an employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for federal income tax purposes who is not in fact so treated for such purposes.

(j) All arrangements that would be considered “deferred compensation” for purposes of Section 409A of the Code are in compliance with Section 409A of the Code. Each Company Plan that is subject to Section 409A of the Code has been administered in compliance with the applicable requirements of Section 409A of the Code and all applicable IRS and Treasury Department guidance issued thereunder. None of the Transactions will result in a deferral of compensation under any Company Plan that is subject to Section 409A of the Code. Each Option issued under any Company Plan (or any predecessor plan providing for the issuance of options to employees of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries) that has been exercised has been properly treated by the Company as an incentive stock option under Code Section 422 or as a nonstatutory option, as applicable. All Options granted under any Company Plan were granted with an exercise price at least equal to the fair market value of the Company Common Stock on the date of grant of such Option and no Option has been amended to reduce the exercise price from that in effect on the date of grant (except pursuant to non-discretionary antidilution provisions governing such Option).

(k) To the Knowledge of the Company, none of the employees of the Company or its Subsidiaries is represented in his or her capacity as an employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries by any labor organization. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has recognized any labor organization, nor, to the Knowledge of the Company, has any labor organization been elected as the collective bargaining agent of any employees, nor has the Company or any of its Subsidiaries entered into any collective bargaining agreement or union contract recognizing any labor organization as the bargaining agent of any employees. There is no union organization activity involving any of the employees of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries pending or, to the Knowledge of the Company, threatened, nor has there ever been union representation involving any of the employees of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. There is no picketing pending or, to the Knowledge of the Company, threatened, and there are no strikes, slowdowns, work stoppages, other job actions, lockouts, arbitrations, grievances or other labor disputes involving any of the employees of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries pending or, to the Knowledge of the Company, threatened. There are no complaints, charges or claims against the Company or any of its Subsidiaries pending or, to the Knowledge of the Company, threatened to be brought or filed with any Governmental Authority or arbitrator based on, arising out of, in connection with, or otherwise relating to the employment or termination of employment or failure to employ by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, of any individual. The Company and its Subsidiaries are in compliance with all Laws relating to the employment of labor, including all such Laws relating to wages, hours, the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act and any similar state or local “mass layoff” or “plant closing” law (“WARN”), collective bargaining, discrimination, civil rights, safety and health, workers’ compensation and the collection and payment of withholding and/or social security taxes and any similar tax, except for any such non-compliance that has not had, and would not reasonably be expected to have, a Company Material Adverse Effect. There has been no “mass layoff” or “plant closing” (as defined by WARN) with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries since January 1, 2009.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company Board of Directors may, at any time prior to obtaining the Company Stockholder Approval (but in no event after obtaining the Company Stockholder Approval), make a Company Adverse Recommendation Change if: (1) the Company Board of Directors determines, in good faith, after taking into account the advice of the Company’s outside legal counsel, that the failure to make the Company Adverse Recommendation Change would, or would be reasonably likely to, result in a breach of the fiduciary duties of the Company Board of Directors to the Company’s stockholders under applicable Law; (2) the Company shall have given Parent prior written notice (a “Change in Recommendation Notice”) advising Parent of its intention to consider making a Company Adverse Recommendation Change at least 72 hours prior to making any Company Adverse Recommendation Change; (3) if the decision to make a Company Adverse Recommendation Change is in connection with a Takeover Proposal, (A) the Company shall have provided Parent with the material terms and conditions of the Takeover Proposal, including the identity of the party making such Takeover Proposal and, if available, a copy of the relevant proposed transaction agreements with such party and other material documents in no event later than 24 hours after receipt of such Takeover Proposal or such proposed transaction agreements or other documents, and (B) after consulting with the Company’s outside legal counsel and financial advisor, the Company Board of Directors shall have determined, in good faith, that such proposed Takeover Proposal is a Superior Proposal; (4) the Company shall have given Parent 72 hours after delivery of the Change in Recommendation Notice to propose revisions to the terms of this Agreement (or make another proposal) and shall have negotiated in good faith with Parent with respect to such proposed revisions or other proposal, if any; and (5) after considering the results of such negotiations and giving effect to the proposals made by Parent, if any, (A) after consulting with the Company’s outside legal counsel, the Company Board of Directors shall have continued to determine, in good, faith, that the failure to make the Company Adverse Recommendation Change would, or would be reasonably likely to, result in a breach of the fiduciary duties of the Company Board of Directors to the Company’s stockholders under applicable Law and (B) if the decision to make a Company Adverse Recommendation Change is in connection with a Takeover Proposal, after consulting with the Company’s outside legal counsel and financial advisor, the Company Board of Directors shall have continued to determine, in good faith, that such proposed Takeover Proposal is a Superior Proposal; provided, that, in the event the Company Board of Directors does not make the determinations referred to in clause (5) of this Section 5.2(c) but thereafter determines to make a Company Adverse Recommendation Change pursuant to this Section 5.2(c), the procedures referred to in clauses (2), (3), (4) and (5) above shall apply anew and shall also apply to any subsequent Company Adverse Recommendation Change, except that the notice periods referred to in clauses (2) and (4) shall instead be 48 hours.

(d) For purposes of this Agreement:

- 40-

(i) “Takeover Proposal” means any proposal, offer or indication of interest (whether in writing or otherwise) from any Person or “group” (as defined in Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act), other than Parent and its Subsidiaries, relating to any (A) direct or indirect acquisition (whether in a single transaction or a series of related transactions) of assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries (including securities of Subsidiaries) equal to 20% or more of the Company’s consolidated assets or to which 20% or more of the Company’s revenues or earnings on a consolidated basis are attributable, (B) direct or indirect acquisition (whether in a single transaction or a series of related transactions) of 20% or more of any class of equity securities of the Company, (C) tender offer or exchange offer that if consummated would result in any Person or “group”(as defined in Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act) beneficially owning 20% or more of any class of equity securities of the Company or (D) liquidation, dissolution or similar transaction involving the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; in each case, other than the Transactions.

(ii) “Superior Proposal” means a bona fide written, fully-financed Takeover Proposal, obtained after the date hereof and not in breach of this Agreement, to acquire, directly or indirectly, for consideration consisting of cash and/or securities, at least a majority of the equity interests of the Company or all or substantially all of the assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis, made by a third party, and which is otherwise on terms and conditions which the Company Board of Directors determines, in its good faith, (after consultation with the Company’s outside legal counsel and financial advisor) to be more favorable to the Company’s stockholders from a financial point of view than the Transactions, including the Merger, taking into account at the time of determination all relevant factors, including any changes to the terms of this Agreement that as of that time had been proposed by Parent in writing and the ability of the Person making such proposal to consummate the transactions contemplated by such proposal in a timely manner (based upon, among other things, the expectation of obtaining required approvals, including any antitrust clearances, in a timely manner).

(e) Nothing in this Section 5.2 shall prohibit the Company Board of Directors from taking and disclosing to the Company’s stockholders a position contemplated by Rule 14e-2(a), Rule 14d-9 or Item 1012(a) of Regulation M-A promulgated under the Exchange Act with respect to a Takeover Proposal, if such Board determines, in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel, that failure to so disclose such position would, or would be reasonably likely to, result in a violation of applicable Laws; provided, however, that any disclosure other than a “stop, look and listen” or similar communication of the type contemplated by Rule 14d-9(f) under the Exchange Act shall be deemed to be a Company Adverse Recommendation Change, unless, within two business days of such disclosure, the Company Board of Directors (x) expressly reaffirms the Company Board Recommendation or (y) rejects such Takeover Proposal.

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5.2, the Company shall not be entitled to enter into any Company Acquisition Agreement unless this Agreement has been or concurrently is validly terminated by its terms in accordance with Article VII.

Section 5.3 Approvals.

- 41-

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each of the parties hereto shall cooperate with the other parties and use (and shall cause their respective Subsidiaries to use) commercially reasonable efforts to promptly (i) take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and do, or cause to be done, all things, necessary, proper or advisable to cause the conditions to Closing to be satisfied as promptly as practicable and to consummate, in the most expeditious manner practicable, the Transactions, including preparing and filing promptly and fully all documentation to effect all necessary filings, notices, petitions, statements, registrations, submissions of information, applications and other documents (including any required or recommended filings under applicable Antitrust Laws), and (ii) obtain all approvals, consents, registrations, permits, authorizations and other confirmations from any Governmental Authority necessary, proper or advisable to consummate the Transactions, and with respect to any third party approvals those set forth on Schedule 5.3. Each of the parties shall provide the other parties, upon request, with copies of all filings made by such party with any Governmental Authority and, upon request, any other information supplied by such party to a Governmental Authority in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, consistent with applicable Laws and the other provisions of this Agreement. For purposes hereof, “Antitrust Laws” means the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Act, as amended, the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Act, as amended, the HSR Act, the Federal Trade Commission Act, as amended, and all other applicable Laws and guidelines (including any Applicable Foreign Competition Laws) that are designed or intended to prohibit, restrict or regulate actions having the purpose or effect of monopolization or restraint of trade or lessening of competition through merger or acquisition.

(b) Without limiting the generality of the undertakings pursuant to this Section 5.3, (i) the parties hereto shall provide or cause to be provided as promptly as practicable to Governmental Authorities with regulatory jurisdiction over enforcement of any applicable Antitrust Laws (a “Governmental Antitrust Entity”) information and documents requested by any Governmental Antitrust Entity or necessary, proper or advisable to permit consummation of the Transactions, including filing any notification and report form and related material required under the HSR Act as promptly as practicable following the date of this Agreement and thereafter to respond promptly to any request for additional information or documentary material that may be made under the HSR Act and (ii) if any state takeover statute or similar Law becomes applicable to any of the Transactions, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that the Transactions may be consummated as promptly as practicable on the terms contemplated by this Agreement and otherwise minimize the effect of such Law on the Transactions. The parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to take such actions as are necessary or reasonably advisable to obtain approval of consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement by any Governmental Antitrust Entity or otherwise to cause the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting periods under the HSR Act. The parties shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to resolve all objections and challenges, if any, that may be asserted by any Governmental Authority with respect to the Transactions under the Antitrust Laws. Subject to appropriate confidentiality protections, each party hereto shall furnish to the other

- 42-

parties such necessary information and reasonable assistance as such other party may reasonably request in connection with the foregoing. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, nothing in this Agreement will require or obligate Parent or any of its Affiliates to (and in no event shall any representation, warranty or covenant of Parent contained in this Agreement be breached or deemed breached as a result of the failure of Parent to take any of the following actions): (i) agree to or otherwise become subject to any limitations on (A) the right of Parent effectively to control or operate its business (including the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries after the Effective Time) or assets (including the assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries after the Effective Time), or (B) the right of Parent to exercise full rights of ownership of its business (including the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries after the Effective Time) or assets (including the assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries after the Effective Time), (ii) agree or be required to sell or otherwise dispose of, hold (through the establishment of a trust or otherwise), or divest itself of all or any portion of the business, assets or operations of Parent or any of its Affiliates or the business, assets or operations of the Company or its Subsidiaries after the Effective Time, or (iii) otherwise take any steps to avoid or eliminate any impediment that may be asserted under any Law governing competition, monopolies or restrictive trade practices (including defending through litigation any claims asserted under the Antitrust Laws by any Governmental Authority relating to the consummation of the Transactions). In regard to any Governmental Authority, neither the Company nor its Subsidiaries shall, without Parent’s prior written consent in Parent’s sole discretion, discuss or commit to any divestiture transaction, or discuss or commit to alter any of their businesses or commercial practices in any way, or otherwise take or commit to take any action that limits Parent’s freedom of action with respect to, or Parent’s ability to retain any of the businesses, product or service lines or assets of, the Company or its Subsidiaries after the Effective Time or otherwise limits Parent’s ability to receive the full benefits of this Agreement.

(c) Each of Parent and the Company will promptly inform the other party of the receipt of any material communication from any Governmental Authority regarding any of the Transactions, subject to applicable Law and any confidentiality restrictions imposed upon such party by such Governmental Authority with respect to such communications. Subject to applicable Law, the parties will consult and cooperate with each other in connection with any analyses, appearances, presentations, memoranda, briefs, arguments, opinions and proposals made or submitted by or on behalf of any party hereto relating to proceedings under the Antitrust Laws, and shall provide to the Company’s or Parent’s outside antitrust counsel, as appropriate, all information and documents reasonably requested by such counsel promptly upon request, subject to any reasonable restrictions. The parties hereto may, as each deems advisable and necessary, reasonably designate any competitively sensitive material provided to the other under this Section 5.3 as “outside counsel only” or “outside antitrust counsel only.” Such materials and the information contained therein shall be given only to the outside legal counsel of the recipient or, in the case of “outside antitrust counsel only,” to the outside antitrust counsel of the recipient and will not be disclosed by such outside counsel or outside antitrust counsel to employees, officers, or directors of the recipient, unless express written permission is obtained in advance from the source of the materials of Parent and the Company.

The Company shall promptly notify Parent of (i) any notice or other communication received by the Company from any Governmental Authority in connection with the Transactions or from any Person alleging that the consent of such Person is or may be required in connection with the Transactions, if the subject matter of such communication or the failure of such party to obtain such consent could be material to the Company, the Surviving Corporation or

- 44-

Parent, (ii) any material actions, suits, claims, investigations or proceedings commenced or, to the Knowledge of the Company, threatened in writing against, relating to or involving or otherwise affecting the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, (iii) the discovery of any fact or circumstance that, or the occurrence or non-occurrence of any event that, would cause any representation or warranty made by the Company contained in this Agreement to be untrue in any material respect, and (iv) any material failure of the Company to comply with or satisfy any covenant or agreement contemplated pursuant to this Agreement; provided, however, that the delivery of any notice pursuant to this Section 5.6 shall not (x) cure any breach of, or non-compliance with, any other provision of this Agreement or (y) limit the remedies available to the party receiving such notice. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the failure to comply with this Section 5.6 will not constitute the failure of any condition set forth in Article VI to be satisfied unless the underlying event would independently result in the failure of a such condition to be so satisfied.

Section 5.7 Indemnification and Insurance.

(a) Following the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to maintain in effect for not less than six (6) years after the Closing Date, the Company’s current directors’ and officers’ insurance policies (or policies of at least the same coverage containing terms and conditions no less advantageous to the current and all former directors and officers of the Company) with respect to acts or failures to act prior to the Closing Date; provided, however, that Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall not be required to maintain or obtain policies providing such coverage except to the extent such coverage can be provided at an annual cost of no greater than 250% of the most recent annual premium paid by the Company prior to the date hereof (the “Cap”); and provided, further, that if equivalent coverage cannot be obtained, or can be obtained only by paying an annual premium in excess of the Cap, the Surviving Corporation shall only be required to obtain as much coverage as can be obtained by paying an annual premium equal to the Cap. The Company may in lieu of the foregoing insurance coverage, following consultation with Parent, purchase, prior to the Effective Time, a prepaid “tail policy” on terms and conditions (in both amount and scope) providing substantially equivalent benefits, and from a carrier or carriers with comparable credit ratings, as the current directors and officers insurance policy with respect to matters arising on or before the Effective Time, covering, without limitation, the transactions contemplated hereby.

(b) Following the Effective, Time, Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation for not less than six (6) years after the Closing Date to keep in effect in the Company Charter Documents all provisions at least as favorable as the provisions in the Company Charter Documents on the date hereof that provide for exculpation of director or officer liability and indemnification (and advancement of expenses related thereto) of the past and present officers and directors of the Company, except as limited by applicable Law, and such provisions shall not be amended during such six (6) year period except as either required by applicable Law or to make changes permitted by applicable Law that would enhance the rights of past or present officers and directors to exculpation, indemnification or advancement of expenses.

(c) The Persons to whom this Section 5.7 applies shall be third party beneficiaries of this Section 5.7. The provisions of this Section 5.7 are intended to be for the benefit of each such Person and his or her heirs, successors and representatives. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 5.7 to the contrary, this Section 5.7 shall survive the consummation of the Merger and shall be binding on all successors and assigns of the Parent and the Surviving Corporation.

Section 5.8 Securityholder Litigation.

The Company shall give Parent the opportunity to participate in (but not control) the defense or settlement of any securityholder litigation against the Company and/or its directors relating to the Transactions, subject to a customary joint defense agreement, and no such settlement shall be agreed to without Parent’s prior written consent.

- 45-

Section 5.9 Fees and Expenses.

Except as set forth in Section 7.4, all fees and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement, the Merger and the Transactions shall be paid by the party incurring such fees or expenses, whether or not the Merger is consummated.

Section 5.10 Certain Employee-Related Matters.

(a) Except to the extent excluded from coverage under a comparable Company Plan maintained by the Company or its Subsidiaries immediately prior to the Effective Time (each a “Prior Company Plan”), for purposes of determining whether a Continuing Employee has met the eligibility service requirements of a Parent Benefit Plan and upon each applicable Continuing Employee’s commencement of participation in an applicable Parent Benefit Plan for purposes of vesting and for purposes of benefit accrual under Parent’s vacation and severance arrangements as in effect on the date hereof, Parent shall credit each Continuing Employee with his or her years of service (or applicable portion thereof, as the case may be) with the Company, its Subsidiaries or any of their ERISA Affiliates, and any predecessor entities, to the same extent as such Continuing Employee was entitled to credit for such service under any Prior Company Plan prior to the Continuing Employee’s commencement of participation in the Parent Benefit Plan, except that Continuing Employees shall receive no such credit (i) to the extent that such credit would result in a duplication of benefits, (ii) under any newly-established Parent Benefit Plan for which similarly-situated employees of Parent do not receive credited service, or (iii) for purposes of determining eligibility to receive discretionary contributions to Parent’s Employees’ Savings Plan, and (iv) for purposes of determining eligibility under Parent’s Cash Balance Retirement Plan. Parent shall cause any applicable service or benefit plan provider providing the Parent Benefit Plans that are “group health plans” (within the meaning of Section 5000(b)(1) of the Code), to the extent it is lawful and applicable, to waive any pre-existing condition exclusions or waiting periods for Continuing Employees. Any Parent Benefit Plan that by its terms, whether specifically or by interpretation, excludes a Continuing Employee from participation in such Parent Benefit Plan (other than any such plans with respect to which new participation has been frozen for Parent employees generally) shall be amended to provide that Continuing Employees shall participate in any such plan to the same extent as similarly situated employees of Parent (except (1) as may be prohibited by applicable Law or (2) to the extent prohibited by the terms of such Parent Benefit Plan and Parent does not have the discretion to amend, or cause the amendment of, such terms), and no

- 46-

Continuing Employee shall be denied credit for service performed for the Company, any ERISA Affiliates, and any predecessor entities under any Parent Benefit Plan to the extent consistent with the other provisions of this Section 5.10, unless it is contrary to (1) applicable Law or (2) the terms of such Parent Benefit Plan and Parent does not have the discretion to amend, or cause the amendment of, such terms. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Continuing Employee” shall mean those individuals employed by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries as of the Closing Date who continue their employment with the Company, Parent or those Subsidiaries that are ERISA Affiliates on and after the Closing Date, and the term “Parent Benefit Plans” shall mean the employee benefit plans of Parent, the Surviving Corporation or an Affiliate of either such entity, other than a defined benefit pension benefit plan. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “ERISA Affiliate” shall include any organization that is or has ever been treated as a single employer with the Company or any Subsidiary under Section 414(b), (c), (m) or (o) of the Code or Section 4001(b) of ERISA. For the avoidance of doubt, Continuing Employees shall not receive credit for service prior to the Effective Time for purposes of benefit accrual under any Parent Benefit Plan that is a defined benefit pension plan.

(b) Parent shall take (or cause to be taken) all actions necessary to credit Continuing Employees employed in the United States who elect medical coverage under Parent’s Medical Plan with a contribution to their health reimbursement accounts for the plan fiscal year that ends December 31, 2012, with the amount to be determined based on the type of coverage elected according to the following schedule:

Individual Employee $350

Individual Employee plus one $625

Family $950.

(c) If requested in writing by Parent at least five business days prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall take (or cause to be taken) all actions necessary or appropriate to terminate, effective no later than the day immediately preceding the date on which the Company becomes a member of the same Controlled Group of Corporations (as defined in Section 414(b) of the Code) as Parent (the “Plan Termination Date”), any Company Plan that contains a cash or deferred arrangement intended to qualify under Section 401(k) of the Code (a “Company 401(k) Plan”); provided, that pursuant to any such termination of a Company 401(k) Plan, Parent shall permit rollover contributions (including outstanding loans) from Company 401(k) Plan participants into a similar plan of Parent or its Affiliates. If the Company is required to terminate any Company 401(k) Plan, then the Company shall provide to Parent prior to the Plan Termination Date written evidence of the adoption by the Company Board of Directors of resolutions authorizing the termination of such Company 401(k) Plan (the form and substance of which resolutions shall be subject to the prior review of Parent). The Company also shall take such other actions in furtherance of terminating such Company 401(k) Plan as Parent may reasonably request. Any actions taken under this Section 5.10(c) shall be made contingent upon the consummation of the Merger.

- 47-

(d) If requested in writing by Parent at least five business days prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall take (or cause to be taken) all actions necessary, including the provision of notice to all insurance carriers and third party administrators (provided that Parent has submitted such written request to the Company prior to the date notice is required by such insurance carrier or third party administrator), to terminate such Company benefit plans as requested by Parent, including the Deferred Compensation Plans (and any related trust agreements or arrangements) with respect to accrual of additional benefits (but excluding the Company 401(k) Plan, for which Section 5.10(c) shall instead apply) (each, an “Other Company Plan”). Any termination, early surrender, early withdrawal or other charges incurred as a result of the termination of an Other Company Plan at such request of Parent shall be paid for, or reimbursed to the Company, by Parent.

(e) The Company Board of Directors (or a committee thereof) has adopted resolutions, and communicated to each executive that is a party to an employment agreement, stating that it is the Company’s intention to have the executive officer remain employed by the Company for a period of six months after the execution of this Agreement.

Section 5.11 Section 16.

The Company Board of Directors shall, to the extent necessary, take appropriate action, prior to or as of the Effective Time, to approve, for purposes of Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, the deemed disposition and cancellation of the Shares and Options in the Merger by applicable individuals.

Section 5.12 Preparation of the Proxy Statement; Stockholder Meeting.

(a) As soon as practicable following the date of this Agreement, the Company shall prepare and file with the SEC a preliminary Proxy Statement. The Company shall ensure that the Proxy Statement complies as to form in all material respects with the applicable provisions of the Exchange Act. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to (i) respond to any comments on the Proxy Statement or requests for additional information from the SEC as soon as practicable after receipt of any such comments or requests and (ii) cause the Proxy Statement to be mailed to the stockholders of the Company as promptly as practicable following the date of this Agreement. The Company shall promptly (A) notify Parent upon the receipt of any such comments or requests and (B) provide Parent with copies of all correspondence between the Company and its Representatives, on the one hand, and the SEC and its staff, on the other hand. Prior to responding to any such comments or requests or the filing or mailing of the Proxy Statement, the Company (x) shall provide Parent with a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on any drafts of the Proxy Statement and related correspondence and filings, (y) shall include in such drafts, correspondence and filings all comments reasonably proposed by Parent and, (z) to the extent practicable, the Company and its outside counsel shall permit Parent and its outside counsel to participate in all communications with the SEC and its staff (including all meetings and telephone conferences) relating to the Proxy Statement, this Agreement or any of the Transactions. If at any time prior to the Effective Time any event shall occur, or fact or information shall be discovered, that should be set forth in an amendment of or a supplement to the Proxy Statement, the Company shall, in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 5.12(a), prepare and file with the SEC such amendment or supplement as soon thereafter as is reasonably practicable and to the extent required by applicable Law, cause such amendment or supplement to be distributed to the stockholders of the Company.

- 48-

(b) Parent shall provide the Company with information concerning or relating to Parent or Merger Sub that may be required in connection with the preparation and filing of the Proxy Statement pursuant to this Section 5.12.

(c) The Company shall, as soon as practicable following the date of this Agreement, establish a record date for, duly call, give notice of, convene and hold a special meeting of its stockholders (the “Company Stockholders Meeting”) solely for the purpose of obtaining the Company Stockholder Approval. Unless the Company’s Board of Directors has withdrawn or modified the Company Board Recommendation so as to constitute a Company Adverse Recommendation Change to the extent permitted under Section 5.2(c), the Proxy Statement shall include the Company Board Recommendation. The Company will (i) take all reasonable actions permitted by applicable law to solicit or cause to be solicited from its stockholders proxies in favor of adoption of this Agreement and (ii) subject to Section 5.2(c), take all other reasonable action necessary to secure the Company Stockholder Approval, including, if requested by Parent, engaging a nationally recognized proxy solicitor reasonably acceptable to Parent. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, unless this Agreement is terminated in accordance with Section 7.1, the Company will take all of the actions contemplated by this Section 5.12 regardless of whether a Company Adverse Recommendation Change has occurred and will submit this Agreement for adoption by the Company stockholders at the Company Stockholders Meeting.
