AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER

AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER (this “Agreement”) dated as of August 17, 2010 by and among Pharaoh Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), Pharaoh Merger Sub Corp., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Subsidiary”), and Phoenix Technologies Ltd., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”). ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Equity II, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇”), and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Equity III, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“▇▇▇▇▇▇ III”), are also executing this agreement solely for the purpose of agreeing to Section 10.14 hereof and shall be considered to be parties to this Agreement solely for the purpose of such section.

WHEREAS, upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement and in accordance with the Delaware General Corporation Law (“DGCL”), Parent, Merger Subsidiary and the Company will enter into a business combination transaction pursuant to which Merger Subsidiary will merge with and into the Company (the “Merger”);

WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Company has, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, (i) determined that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are in the best interests of the stockholders of the Company, (ii) approved and declared advisable this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, including the Merger, in accordance with the DGCL, and (iii) determined to recommend that the Company’s stockholders adopt this Agreement;

WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of Merger Subsidiary has, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, approved and declared advisable this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, including the Merger, and Parent (as the sole stockholder of Merger Subsidiary) has adopted this Agreement in accordance with the DGCL;

WHEREAS, concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, and as a condition and inducement to the willingness of the Parent and Merger Subsidiary to enter into this Agreement, Ramius LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Voting Stockholder”), has executed and delivered a voting agreement pursuant to which the Voting Stockholder agrees to vote in favor of the Merger, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (together with an irrevocable proxy in favor of Parent); and

WHEREAS, concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, and as a condition of the willingness of the Company to enter into this Agreement, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇ and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ III (collectively, the “Equity Providers”) are providing an Equity Funding Letter (as defined below), subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the respective representations, warranties, covenants and agreements set forth below, the parties hereto agree as follows:

ARTICLE 1
The Merger

Section 1.01. The Closing. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, the closing of the Merger (the “Closing”) will take place at 10:00 a.m., San Francisco time, as soon as practicable (and, in any event, within two (2) Business Days) after satisfaction or, to the extent permitted hereunder, waiver of all conditions to the Merger set forth in Article 8 (excluding conditions that, by their terms, are satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver (to the extent permitted hereunder) of such conditions), unless this Agreement has been terminated pursuant to its terms or unless another time or date is agreed to in writing by the parties hereto. The Closing shall be held at the offices of ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇ & Bockius LLP, Two Palo Alto Square, ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, unless another place is agreed to by the parties hereto.

Section 1.02. The Merger. (a) As soon as practicable after satisfaction or, to the extent permitted hereunder, waiver of all conditions to the Merger, the Company and Merger Subsidiary shall cause the Merger to be consummated by filing a certificate of merger (the “Certificate of Merger”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, in such form as required by, and executed in accordance with, the relevant provisions of the DGCL (the date and time of the filing of the Certificate of Merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, or such later time as is specified in the Certificate of Merger and as is agreed to by the parties hereto, being hereinafter referred to as the “Effective Time”) and shall make all other filings or recordings required under the DGCL in connection with the Merger.

(b) At the Effective Time, Merger Subsidiary shall be merged with and into the Company in accordance with the DGCL, whereupon the separate existence of Merger Subsidiary shall cease, and the Company shall be the surviving corporation (the “Surviving Corporation”). From and after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall possess all the properties, rights, privileges and franchises and be subject to all of the debts, obligations and liabilities of the Company and Merger Subsidiary, all as provided under the DGCL.

Section 1.03. Conversion of Shares. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holders thereof:

(a) except as otherwise provided in Sections 1.03(b) or 1.05, each share (“Company Share”) of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and represent the right to receive $3.85 in cash, without interest (the “Merger Consideration”);

(b) each Company Share held by the Company as treasury stock or owned by Parent or Merger Subsidiary immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be canceled, returned and cease to exist, and no payment shall be made with respect thereto; and

(c) each share of common stock of Merger Subsidiary issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and become one fully paid and non-assessable share of common stock, par value $.001 per share, of the Surviving Corporation

with the same rights, powers and privileges as the shares so converted and shall constitute the only outstanding shares of capital stock of the Surviving Corporation.

Section 1.04. Surrender and Payment. (a) Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall appoint an exchange agent (the “Exchange Agent”) for the purpose of exchanging for the Merger Consideration (i) certificates representing Company Shares (the “Certificates”) and (ii) uncertificated Company Shares (the “Uncertificated Shares”). Parent shall pay to the Exchange Agent, on the Closing Date and prior to the filing of the Certificate of Merger, the Merger Consideration to be paid in respect of the Certificates and the Uncertificated Shares. Promptly after the Effective Time and, in any event, not later than the third Business Day following the Closing Date, Parent shall send, or shall instruct the Exchange Agent to send, to each record holder of Company Shares at the Effective Time a letter of transmittal and instructions (which shall specify that the delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title shall pass, only upon proper delivery of the Certificates or transfer of the Uncertificated Shares to the Exchange Agent) for use in such exchange.

(b) Each holder of Company Shares that have been converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration shall be entitled to receive the Merger Consideration in respect of the Company Common Stock represented by a Certificate or Uncertificated Share, upon (i) surrender to the Exchange Agent of a Certificate, together with a properly completed letter of transmittal, or (ii) receipt of an “agent’s message” by the Exchange Agent (or such other evidence, if any, of transfer as the Exchange Agent may reasonably request) in the case of a book-entry transfer of Uncertificated Shares. Until so surrendered or transferred, as the case may be, each such Certificate or Uncertificated Share shall represent after the Effective Time for all purposes only the right to receive such Merger Consideration.

(c) If any portion of the Merger Consideration is to be paid to a Person other than the Person in whose name the surrendered Certificate or the transferred Uncertificated Share is registered, it shall be a condition to such payment that (i) either such Certificate shall be properly endorsed or shall otherwise be in proper form for transfer or such Uncertificated Share shall be properly transferred, and (ii) the Person requesting such payment shall pay to the Exchange Agent any transfer or other similar Tax required as a result of such payment to a Person other than the registered holder of such Certificate or Uncertificated Share or establish to the satisfaction of the Exchange Agent that such Tax has been paid or is not payable.

(d) The payment of the Merger Consideration upon the surrender of Certificates or Uncertificated Shares in accordance with the terms hereof shall be deemed to have been payment in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to the Company Common Stock formerly represented by such Certificate or Uncertificated Shares. From and after the Effective Time, there shall be no further registration of transfers of Company Shares on the stock transfer books of the Surviving Corporation. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates or Uncertificated Shares 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 1.

(e) Any portion of the Merger Consideration paid to the Exchange Agent pursuant to Section 1.04(a) (and any interest or other income earned thereon) that remains unclaimed by holders of Company Shares one year after the Effective Time shall be returned to Parent, upon

demand, and any such holder who has not exchanged such Company Shares for the Merger Consideration in accordance with this Section 1.04 prior to that time shall thereafter look only to Parent only as general creditors thereof with respect to any Merger Consideration in respect of such Company Shares without any interest thereon. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Parent shall not be liable to any holder of Company Shares for any amounts paid to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar laws. Any amounts remaining unclaimed by holders of Company Shares for two (2) years after the Effective Time (or such earlier date, immediately prior to such time when the amounts would otherwise escheat to or become property of any Governmental Authority) shall become, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, the property of Parent free and clear of any claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.

(f) To the extent that Parent or the Company makes any payment in respect of any Appraisal Shares, a portion of the Merger Consideration made available to Exchange Agent in respect of such Appraisal Shares shall be returned to Parent.

Section 1.05. Appraisal Rights. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, shares of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time that are held by any holder who (i) has not voted such shares of Company Common Stock in favor of the Merger at the Stockholder Meeting, (ii) is entitled to demand and properly demands appraisal of such shares pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL (“Section 262”) and complies in all respects with the provisions of Section 262, and (iii) has not effectively withdrawn, forfeited or otherwise lost the right to demand relief as a dissenting stockholder under the DGCL as of the Effective Time (the “Appraisal Shares”), shall not be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration as provided in Section 1.03(a), but instead such holder of Appraisal Shares shall only be entitled to payment of the fair value of such shares in accordance with the provisions of Section 262. At the Effective Time, all Appraisal Shares shall automatically be cancelled and shall cease to exist or be outstanding, and each holder of Appraisal Shares shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except such rights as are granted under Section 262. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any such holder shall fail to perfect or otherwise shall waive, withdraw or lose the right to appraisal under Section 262, or a court of competent jurisdiction shall determine that such holder is not entitled to the relief provided by Section 262, then the rights of such holder under Section 262 shall cease to exist and such Appraisal Shares shall be deemed to have been converted at the Effective Time into, and shall have become, the right to receive such holder’s Merger Consideration as provided in Section 1.03(a). The Company shall provide prompt written notice to Parent of any demands for appraisal of any shares of Company Common Stock, any withdrawal of any such demand and any other demand, notice or instrument delivered to the Company prior to the Effective Time pursuant to the DGCL that relates to such demand, and Parent shall have the opportunity and right to direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demands. The Company shall not, without the prior written consent of Parent, make any payment with respect to, or settle or offer to settle or otherwise negotiate, any such demands, or agree to do any of the foregoing.

Section 1.06. Company Stock Options; Company Restricted Stock Awards.

(a) As soon as practicable following the date of this Agreement, the Board of Directors (or, if appropriate, any committee thereof administering the Company Stock Plans) shall adopt

such resolutions and take such other actions (including adopting any plan amendments) as are required to provide that, except as otherwise agreed between Parent and any holder thereof: (i) each then outstanding Company Stock Option granted under any Company Stock Plan shall, immediately prior to the Closing Date, vest in full and become exercisable for all the shares of Company Common Stock at the time subject to such option as fully-vested shares of Company Common Stock and each then outstanding Company Restricted Stock Award shall vest in full immediately prior to the Closing Date; (ii) each then-outstanding Company Stock Option as so fully vested and exercisable shall be either, to the extent permitted under the Company Stock Plans or otherwise agreed with the holder, cancelled immediately prior to the Effective Time in exchange for payment of an amount in cash equal to the product of (A) the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Company Stock Option immediately prior to the Effective Time, and (B) the excess, if any, of the Merger Consideration over the per share exercise price of such Company Stock Option (for the avoidance of doubt, each holder of a Company Stock Option with a per share exercise price that is equal to or greater than the Merger Consideration shall not be entitled to receive any payment with respect to such Company Stock Options) or, where such a cancellation in return for cash is not permitted under the Company Stock Plans or otherwise agreed with the holder, shall be exercised immediately prior to the Closing Date and each share of Company Common Stock issued as a result of any such exercise shall be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration in the manner provided in Section 1.03; and each Company Stock Option not cashed-out or exercised in accordance with the foregoing shall be cancelled at the Effective Time; and (iii) each then-outstanding Company Restricted Stock Award as so fully vested in accordance herewith shall be cancelled immediately prior to the Effective Time in exchange for payment of an amount in cash equal to the product of (A) the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Company Restricted Stock Award immediately prior to the Effective Time, and (B) the Merger Consideration. All such cash payments to be paid pursuant to the immediately preceding clauses (ii) and (iii) shall be referred to herein as the “Equity Incentive Amounts”. Any Equity Incentive Amounts shall be paid by the Surviving Corporation promptly following the Effective Time through the payroll of the Surviving Corporation in accordance with paragraph (b) below, but in no event later than ten (10) Business Days after the Effective Time.

(b) Parent will take all actions necessary so that, at or within ten (10) Business Days after the Effective Time, upon delivery of a duly executed and completed letter of transmittal, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Parent and the Company (the “Option Letter of Transmittal”), to the Surviving Corporation, the Surviving Corporation shall pay or cause to be paid to each holder of Company Restricted Stock Awards and Company Stock Options granted under the Company Stock Plan any Equity Incentive Amounts to which such holder is entitled as determined in accordance with Section 1.06(a) through the Surviving Corporation’s payroll less any Taxes which such company must withhold or is liable to pay to any Tax authority, unless alternative arrangements are specified by such holder in the Option Letter of Transmittal, to the extent permitted thereby. In the event that the Surviving Corporation has insufficient cash to make such payment to each holder of Company Restricted Stock Awards and Company Stock Options, Parent shall pay such amounts or provide to the Surviving Corporation sufficient cash to pay such amounts within the time period specified herein.

Section 1.07. Adjustments. If, during the period between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time, any change in the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company shall

occur, including by reason of any reclassification, recapitalization, stock split (including reverse stock split) or combination, exchange or readjustment of shares, or any stock dividend thereon with a record date during such period, but excluding any change in the number of outstanding Company Shares that results from any exercise of Company Stock Options outstanding as of the date hereof, the Merger Consideration and any other amounts payable pursuant to this Agreement shall be appropriately adjusted.

Section 1.08. Withholding Rights. Each of Merger Subsidiary, the Surviving Corporation, Parent, any of their Affiliates and the Exchange Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable to any Person pursuant to Article 1 such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under any provision of any Tax law. If Merger Subsidiary, the Surviving Corporation, Parent, any Affiliate thereof or the Exchange Agent, as the case may be, so withholds amounts, such amounts shall be (a) paid over to the applicable Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law and (b) treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which Merger Subsidiary, the Surviving Corporation, Parent, any Affiliate thereof or the Exchange Agent, as the case may be, made such deduction and withholding.

Section 1.09. Lost 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, the posting by such Person of a bond, in such reasonable amount as Parent may direct, as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, the Exchange Agent shall pay, in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate, the Merger Consideration to be paid in respect of the Company Shares formerly represented by such Certificate, as contemplated under this Article 1.

ARTICLE 2
The Surviving Corporation

Section 2.01. Certificate of Incorporation. The certificate of incorporation of the Company shall be amended at the Effective Time as set forth in Exhibit B and, as so amended, shall be the certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation until amended in accordance with the terms thereof or as provided by Applicable Law.

Section 2.02. Bylaws. As of the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Merger Subsidiary or the Company, the Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation shall be amended and restated to read the same as the Bylaws of Merger Subsidiary as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, until thereafter changed or amended as provided therein, by the certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation or by Applicable Law, except that the Bylaws shall be amended to reflect that the name of the Surviving Corporation shall be “Phoenix Technologies Ltd.”.

Section 2.03. Directors and Officers. From and after the Effective Time, except as otherwise duly elected or appointed and qualified in accordance the certificate of incorporation or the Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation and with Applicable Law, (i) the directors of Merger Subsidiary immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the directors of the Surviving

ARTICLE 3
Representations and Warranties of the Company

The Company represents and warrants to Parent and Merger Subsidiary that, except as disclosed (a) in the disclosure schedule delivered by the Company to Parent simultaneously with the execution of this Agreement (the “Company Disclosure Schedule”), or (b) in the Company SEC Documents (or incorporated by reference therein) filed and publicly available prior to the date of this Agreement, excluding any risk factor disclosures or other cautionary, predictive or forward-looking disclosures contained therein (it being understood that (i) any matter disclosed in the Company Disclosure Schedule or in such Company SEC Documents (or incorporated by reference therein) shall be deemed disclosed with respect to any section of this Article 3 to which the matter relates to the extent the relevance to each such section is readily apparent, and (ii) the disclosure of any matter or item in the Company Disclosure Schedule shall not be deemed to constitute an acknowledgment that such matter or item is required to be disclosed therein or is material to a representation or warranty set forth in this Agreement and shall not be used as a basis for interpreting the terms “material,” “materially,” “materiality” or “Company Material Adverse Effect” or any word or phrase of similar import and does not mean that such matter or item would, alone or together with any other matter or item, reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect):

Section 3.01. Corporate Existence and Power. The Company is a corporation duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware and has all corporate powers required to carry on its business as now conducted. The Company is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction where such qualification is necessary, except for those jurisdictions where failure to be so qualified would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Company Material Adverse Effect. A list of jurisdictions in which the Company is so qualified is set forth on Section 3.01 of the Company Disclosure Schedule. True and complete copies of the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Company as currently in effect have been filed with the SEC prior to the date hereof.

Section 3.02. Corporate Authorization. (a) The execution, delivery and performance by the Company of this Agreement and the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated hereby are within the Company’s corporate powers and, except for obtaining the Stockholder Approval, have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Company. The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock in favor of the approval of the Merger (the “Stockholder Approval”) is the only vote of the holders of any of the Company’s capital stock necessary in connection with the consummation of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement. This Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding agreement of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium and other similar Applicable Law affecting creditors’ rights generally and by general principles of equity.

(b) The Company’s Board of Directors, at a meeting duly called and held prior to the execution of this Agreement, at which all directors of the Company were present, duly adopted resolutions (i) declaring that this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby are in the best interests of the Company’s stockholders, (ii) approving and declaring advisable this Agreement, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby, and (iii) directing that the adoption of this Agreement be submitted to the Stockholder Meeting (the “Board Recommendation”).

Section 3.03. Governmental Authorization. The execution, delivery and performance by the Company of this Agreement and the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated hereby require no action by or in respect of, or filing with, any Governmental Authority, other than (i) the filing of the Certificate of Merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware and appropriate documents with the relevant authorities of other states in which the Company is qualified to do business, (ii) compliance with any applicable requirements of (A) the HSR Act and (B) any Applicable Law analogous to the HSR Act or otherwise regulating antitrust, competition or merger control matters and in each case existing in foreign jurisdictions (“Foreign Competition Laws”), (iii) compliance with any applicable requirements of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and any other applicable U.S. state or federal securities laws or the rules of Nasdaq.

Section 3.04. Non-contravention. The execution, delivery and performance by the Company of this Agreement and the consummation by the Company of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby do not and will not (i) assuming the accuracy of the representation in Section 4.09, contravene, conflict with, or result in any violation or breach of any provision of the certificate of incorporation or bylaws of the Company, (ii) assuming compliance with the matters referred to in Section 3.03, contravene, conflict with, or result in a violation or breach of any provision of any Applicable Law or Order, (iii) require any consent or other action by any Person under, constitute a default, or an event that, with or without notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute a default under, or cause or permit the termination, cancellation, acceleration or other change of any right or obligation or the loss of any benefit under, any provision of any Material Contract binding upon the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any Governmental Authorization affecting, or relating in any way to, the assets or business of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or (iv) result in the creation or imposition of any Lien on any asset of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries other than Liens created by Parent. Any shareholder protection measure or plan of the Company or similar “poison pill” has been rendered inapplicable to the Parent and Merger Subsidiary.

Section 3.05. Capitalization. (a) The authorized capital stock of the Company consists of 60,000,000 shares of Company Common Stock and 500,000 shares of preferred stock. As of the close of business on August 12, 2010, (i) 35,116,059 Company Shares were issued and outstanding, (ii) no shares of preferred stock of the Company were issued and outstanding, (iii) Company Stock Options to purchase an aggregate of 6,130,603 Company Shares were issued and outstanding (of which Company Stock Options to purchase an aggregate of 4,257,628 Company Shares were exercisable), (iv) Company Restricted Stock Awards with respect to an aggregate of 364,583 Company Shares were issued and outstanding, (v) an aggregate of 10,372,393 Company Shares were reserved for settlement of Company Stock Options, and (vi) an aggregate of 500,000 shares of preferred stock of the Company were reserved for issuance

under the Company’s Amended and Restated Preferred Shares Rights Agreement, dated as of October 21, 2009, between the Company and Computershare Trust Company, N.A. All outstanding shares of Company Common Stock have been, and all shares that may be issued pursuant to any Company Stock Plan will be, when issued in accordance with the respective terms thereof, duly authorized and validly issued and are (or, in the case of shares that have not yet been issued, will be) fully paid, nonassessable and free of preemptive rights.

The Company’s notice shall include (i) a copy of any Acquisition Proposal made in writing and other written materials provided by such Person to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and (ii) a written summary of the material terms of such Acquisition Proposal, inquiry or request, including the identity of the Person or group of Persons making the Acquisition Proposal, inquiry or request to the extent such information is not contained in the written materials provided to Parent. The Company shall keep Parent reasonably informed in all respects on a timely basis of any material changes in the status or any material modifications in any Acquisition Proposal, inquiry or request. None of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall, after the date of this Agreement, enter into any agreement that would prohibit them from providing such information to Parent.

(e) Subject to Section 5.02, neither the Board of Directors of the Company nor any committee thereof, (A) shall fail to make, withdraw, modify or qualify in a manner adverse to Parent or Merger Subsidiary the Board Recommendation, or (B) approve or recommend, or publicly propose to approve or recommend, to the stockholders of the Company, an Acquisition Proposal, (C) if a tender offer or exchange offer for shares of capital stock of the Company that constitutes an Acquisition Proposal is commenced, fail to recommend against acceptance of such tender offer or exchange offer by the Company stockholders (including, for these purposes, by taking no position with respect to the acceptance of such tender offer or exchange offer by its stockholders, which shall constitute a failure to recommend against acceptance of such tender offer or exchange offer) within 10 Business Days after commencement thereof, (D) shall terminate, amend, waive, or exempt any Person or group from, the restrictions contained in any standstill agreements or any takeover Laws or otherwise cause any such restrictions therein not to apply (other than to the extent the Board of Directors determines in good faith, after consultation with outside counsel, that the failure to take any of such actions under this clause would be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law and is necessary to facilitate an Acquisition Proposal in compliance with Section 5.03(c)), (E) shall approve, authorize or permit or allow the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to enter into any letter of intent, merger or acquisition agreement or any similar agreement or understanding with respect to any Acquisition Proposal (other than an acceptable confidentiality agreement permitted under Section 5.03(c)) or (F) resolve, propose to a third party or agree to take any of the foregoing actions (any of the foregoing, an “Adverse Recommendation Change”); provided, however, if the Board of Directors determines in good faith, after consultation with outside counsel and its independent financial advisor, that a written Acquisition Proposal received by the Company in compliance with Section 5.03(c) constitutes a Superior Proposal, the Board of Directors may (A) make an Adverse Recommendation Change; and/or (B) upon termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 9.01(d)(i), approve and enter into an agreement relating to a Superior Proposal, but subject to the satisfaction of the following: (i) the Company shall have provided prior written notice to Parent, at least 3 Business Days in advance, of its or the Board of Directors’ intention to take such actions, which notice shall specify the material terms of the Acquisition Proposal received by the Company that constitutes a Superior Proposal, including a copy of the relevant proposed transaction agreements with, and the identity of, the party making the Acquisition Proposal; (ii) after providing such notice and prior to taking such actions, the Company shall, and shall cause its Representatives to, negotiate with Parent and Merger Subsidiary in good faith (to the extent Parent and Merger Subsidiary desire to negotiate) during such 3 Business Day period to make such adjustments in the terms and conditions of this

Agreement and the Equity Financing commitment as would permit the Company or the Board of Directors not to take such actions; and (iii) the Board of Directors shall have considered in good faith any changes to this Agreement and the Equity Financing commitment that may be offered in writing by Parent by 11:59 PM Pacific Time on the 3^rd Business Day of such 3 Business Day period in a manner that would form a binding contract (including the complete form of definitive acquisition agreement executed on behalf of Parent and all exhibits and other attachments thereto, and subject only to acceptance by the Company by countersignature on behalf of the Company and those conditions set forth therein) if accepted by the Company and shall have determined in good faith after consultation with outside counsel and independent financial advisors that the Acquisition Proposal received by the Company would continue to constitute, or would result in, a Superior Proposal if such changes offered in writing by Parent were given effect. In the event of any material revisions to the Superior Proposal (it being agreed that material revisions shall include any change in the purchase price, form of consideration, transaction timing, transaction financing or transaction structure for such Superior Proposal), the Company shall be required to deliver a new written notice to Parent pursuant to the foregoing clause (i) and to comply again with the requirements of this Section 5.03(e) with respect to such new written notice.

(f) For purposes of this Agreement, an “Acquisition Proposal” means any bona fide proposal or offer made by a third party, in a single transaction or series of related transactions, relating to any direct or indirect acquisition or purchase of (i) 15% or more of the Company’s consolidated assets of the Company, or to which more than 15% of the Company’s revenues or earnings on a consolidated basis are attributable, or (ii) 15% or more of the combined voting power of the shares of Company Common Stock, (iii) any tender offer or exchange offer that if consummated would result in any Person beneficially owning 15% or more of the combined voting power of the shares of Company Common Stock, (iv) any merger, share exchange, consolidation, business combination, recapitalization, liquidation, dissolution or similar transaction involving the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in which the other party thereto or its stockholders will own 15% or more of the combined voting power of the parent entity resulting from any such transaction, or (v) or any combination of the foregoing types of transactions if the sum of percentage of the consolidated assets, consolidated revenues or earnings and Company Common Stock involved is more than 15%; in each case other than transactions contemplated by this Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Superior Proposal” means any bona fide written Acquisition Proposal on terms that the Board of Directors of the Company determines (after consultation with its outside counsel and independent financial advisor) are more favorable to the Company’s stockholders from the financial point of view, taking into account all of the terms and conditions of such Acquisition Proposal (including the likelihood and timing of consummation thereof) and this Agreement (including any changes in the terms of this Agreement committed to by the Parent to the Company in writing in response to such Acquisition Proposal or otherwise), except that the references to “15%” in the definition of “Acquisition Proposal” shall be deemed to be references to “50%”.

(g) Nothing contained in this Section 5.03 shall prohibit the Company from taking and disclosing to its stockholders a position contemplated by Rule 14d-9 or 14e-2 promulgated under the Exchange Act or from making any disclosure to the Company’s stockholders if, in the good faith judgment of the Company’s Board of Directors failure so to disclose would be inconsistent with its obligations under Applicable Law; provided, however, that neither the Board of

Directors nor any committee thereof shall recommend that the stockholders of the Company tender their shares in connection with any tender or exchange offer (or otherwise approve or recommend any Acquisition Proposal) unless the applicable requirements of Section 5.03(c) shall have been satisfied. In addition, it is understood and agreed that, for purposes of this Agreement, (i) 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, shall not be deemed a withdrawal or modification, or proposal by the Board of Directors of the Company to withdraw or modify the Board Recommendation, or an approval or recommendation with respect to such Acquisition Proposal so long as such public statement includes a statement that the Board of Directors continues to support the Board Recommendation, and (ii) any “stop, look and listen” communication by the Board of Directors pursuant to Rule 14d-9(f) under the Exchange Act, or any similar communication to the stockholders of the Company or otherwise, shall not constitute an Adverse Recommendation Change or a withdrawal or modification, or proposal by the Board of Directors to withdraw or modify the Board Recommendation, or an approval or recommendation with respect to any Acquisition Proposal.

Section 5.04. Access to Information. From the date hereof until the earlier of (x) the Effective Time and (y) the date of termination of this Agreement, and subject to the Confidentiality Agreement dated March 22, 2010 (“Confidentiality Agreement”) between the Company and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Equity III, L.P., the Company shall give to Parent and its Representatives reasonable access to the offices, properties, books, records, Contracts, Governmental Authorizations, documents, directors, officers and employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries, provided, that (i) any such access pursuant to this Section 5.04 shall be coordinated through one of the individuals listed on Schedule 5.04 of the Company Disclosure Schedule, and (ii) Parent and its Representatives shall conduct any such activities in such a manner as not to interfere unreasonably with the business or operation of the Company or its Subsidiaries or otherwise cause any unreasonable interference with the prompt and timely discharge by the employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries of their normal duties. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, Parent shall not have access to personnel records of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries relating to individual performance or evaluation records, medical histories or other information that in the Company’s good faith opinion the disclosure of which could subject the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to risk of liability. In addition, the Company may restrict the foregoing access to the extent that any Applicable Law or Contract requires the Company to restrict or prohibit access to any such properties or information, or such disclosure would, based on the advice of such party’s counsel, result in a waiver of attorney-client privilege, work product doctrine or any other applicable privilege applicable to such information, it being understood that the parties shall use reasonable best efforts to cause such information to be provided in a manner that would not contravene any Applicable Law or result in violation of applicable privilege; provided further that Parent and the Company may restrict access to competitively-sensitive information to outside counsel or a mutually acceptable restricted group of officers and employees to ensure compliance with Applicable Law. Parent agrees that it will not, and will cause its Representatives not to, use any information obtained pursuant to this Section 5.04 for any purpose unrelated to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Section 5.05. ESPP. All outstanding purchase rights, if any, under the ESPP shall automatically be exercised, in accordance with the terms of the ESPP immediately prior to the Effective Time, and the shares of Company Common Stock purchased under those exercised rights shall at the Effective Time be cancelled and converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to Article 1 of this Agreement. The Company shall cause the ESPP to terminate with such purchase, and no further purchase rights shall be granted or exercised under the ESPP thereafter.

(b) Each of Parent and Merger Subsidiary shall (i) maintain in effect the Equity Funding Letter and negotiate definitive agreements with respect to the Equity Financing on the terms and conditions contained in the Equity Funding Letter (or on terms no less favorable to Parent or Merger Subsidiary than the terms and conditions in the Equity Funding Letter), (ii) satisfy all conditions applicable to it and within its control in such definitive agreements and consummate the Equity Financing at or prior to the Closing, and (iii) comply with its material obligations under the Equity Funding Letter.

Section 6.05.Additional Agreement Regarding Benefit Plans. For a period of twelve (12) months following the Closing Date, Parent shall be obligated to provide or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to provide to employees of any Company Entity who become employees of the Surviving Corporation (“Company Employees”) compensation and benefits that are, in the aggregate, substantially comparable to the compensation and benefits being provided to Company Employees immediately prior to the Effective Time (excluding stock options, restricted stock and any other equity awards); provided that for purposes of determining whether benefits are in the aggregate, substantially comparable to the benefits being provided to Company Employees immediately prior to the Effective Time under the Company Benefit Plans, (i) increases in co-pays, deductibles or employee cost with respect to coverage under the Company’s plans that are welfare benefit plans (within the meaning of ERISA) and (ii) the lack of a public trading market for the Company’s Common Stock and any reduction in value by reason thereof, shall not be taken into account for the purposes of such determination.

Section 6.06. Takeover Laws.

(ii) the Company shall have failed to perform in any material respect any of its obligations required to be performed by it under this Agreement or breached any of the Company’s representations and warranties (without regard to materiality qualifiers contained therein) which breach or failure to perform, (A) would give rise to the failure of a condition set forth in Section 8.02(a) or Section 8.02(b) and (B) is either incurable, or if curable, is not cured by the Company by the earlier of (x) thirty (30) days following receipt by the Company of written notice of such breach or failure to perform and (y) the End Date; or

(iii) if a Company Material Adverse Effect shall have occurred and be continuing and has not been cured by the Company within thirty (30) days following receipt by the Company of written notice of the occurrence of such event from Parent.

(d) by the Company, if:

(i) subject to complying with the terms of this Agreement, the Board of Directors of the Company authorizes the Company to enter into a binding definitive agreement in respect of a Superior Proposal; provided, that the Company shall have paid any amounts due pursuant to Section 9.02(a) hereof in accordance with the terms, and at the times, specified therein; and provided further, that in the event of such termination, the Company substantially concurrently enters into such binding definitive agreement in respect of such Superior Proposal;

The party desiring to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.01 (other than pursuant to Section 9.01(a)) shall give written notice of such termination to each other party hereto.

Section 9.02. Effect of Termination. In the event this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 9.01, this Agreement shall become void and of no effect without liability of any party (or any stockholder, director, officer, employee, agent, consultant or representative of such party) to each other party hereto, except with respect to Section 5.04, this Section 9.02, and Article 10, including, without limitation, Section 10.12, provided, that no such termination shall relieve any party from liability for any damages resulting from fraud or a Willful Breach of this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if termination results from the failure of Parent or Merger Subsidiary to pay any portion of the amounts set forth in Article 1 upon satisfaction or waiver of the conditions to Closing set forth in Article 8, Parent and Merger Subsidiary shall be fully liable for any and all liabilities (including lost shareholder premium, if any) and damages of the Company as a result of such breach or failure, as applicable. As used herein, “Willful Breach” means a breach of any representation, warranty or covenant or other agreement set forth in this Agreement that is a consequence of any act or failure to act by the other party with the actual knowledge that the taking of such act or failure to take such act would cause a breach of this Agreement. The provisions of this Section 9.02 and Sections 10.04, 10.06, 10.07, Section 10.08 and Section 10.12 shall survive any termination hereof pursuant to Section 9.01.

(a) If this Agreement is terminated by Parent pursuant to Section 9.01(c)(i), then the Company shall pay to Parent (by wire transfer of immediately available funds), within two (2) Business Days following the occurrence of such termination, a fee in an amount equal to $4,150,000 (“Company Termination Fee”).

(b) If (A) an Acquisition Proposal shall have been publicly announced or disclosed and not terminated or withdrawn prior to the termination of this Agreement, (B) this Agreement is terminated by either Parent or the Company pursuant to Section 9.01(b)(iii), and (C) within twelve (12) months following the date of such termination, the Company enters into a Contract providing for the implementation of such Acquisition Proposal or consummates such Acquisition

Proposal, then the Company shall pay to Parent (by wire transfer of immediately available funds) the Company Termination Fee on or prior to the date on which the Company enters into such Contract or consummates such Acquisition Proposal, as applicable. For purposes of the foregoing clauses (A) and (C) only, references in the definition of the term “Acquisition Proposal” to the figure “15%” will be deemed to be replaced by the figure “50%”.

(c) If this Agreement is terminated by the Company pursuant to Section 9.01(d)(i), then the Company shall pay to Parent (by wire transfer of immediately available funds) the Company Termination Fee concurrently with such termination.

(d) The parties acknowledge that the agreements contained in this Section 9.02 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and that, without these agreements, no party would enter into this Agreement. Accordingly, if the Company fails to pay any amount due to Parent pursuant to this Section 9.02, when due, the Company shall pay the costs and expenses (including reasonable legal fees and expenses) in connection with any action taken to collect payment (including the prosecution of any lawsuit or other legal action), together with interest on the unpaid amount at the publicly announced prime rate of Citibank, N.A. in New York City from the date such amount was first payable to the date it is paid. Each of the parties hereto further acknowledges that the payment of the Company Termination Fee by the Company is not a penalty, but is liquidated damages in a reasonable amount that will compensate Parent in the circumstances in which such fee is payable and which do not involve fraud or a Willful Breach as described in this Section 9.02 for the efforts and resources expended and the opportunities foregone while negotiating this Agreement and reliance on this Agreement and on the expectation of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, which amount would otherwise be impossible to calculate with precision.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in the event the Company Termination Fee is payable to Parent, payment of the Company Termination Fee shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of Parent, Merger Subsidiary and each of their respective Affiliates against the Company and its Subsidiaries and any of their respective former, current or future stockholders, managers, employees, representatives, members, directors, officers, Affiliates or agents for any loss suffered as a result of the failure of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to be consummated, except in the case of fraud or a Willful Breach as described in this Section 9.02.
