ARTICLE I

The Offer

SECTION 1.1 The Offer.

(a) As promptly as reasonably practicable, and in any event no later than ten (10) Business Days of the date of this Agreement, Merger Sub shall, and Parent shall cause Merger Sub to, commence (within the meaning of Rule 14d-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (including the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, the “Exchange Act”)) an offer to purchase all outstanding shares of Company Common Stock at the Offer Price. The obligations of Merger Sub, and of Parent to cause Merger Sub, to accept for payment and pay for any shares of Company Common Stock tendered pursuant to the Offer shall be subject only to the satisfaction or waiver by Merger Sub of the conditions set forth in Annex A hereto (the “Offer Conditions”). Merger Sub expressly reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to waive any Offer Condition in whole or in part, at any time or from time to time, or to modify the terms or conditions of the Offer, except that, without the written consent of the Company, Merger Sub shall not, and Parent shall not permit Merger Sub to, (i) reduce the Offer Price, (ii) change the form of consideration payable in the Offer, (iii) reduce the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to the Offer, (iv) waive or change the Minimum Condition or the Termination Condition (each as defined in Annex A), (v) add to the Offer Conditions, (vi) terminate, or extend or otherwise amend or modify the expiration date of the Offer except as required or permitted by Section 1.1(b) or (vii) amend, modify or supplement any Offer Condition or any term of the Offer set forth in this Agreement in a manner (other than in an immaterial manner) adverse to the holders of Company Common Stock. The Company agrees that no Company Common Stock held by the Company, Merger Sub or any of their respective Subsidiaries will be tendered in the Offer; provided, that the Company shall be permitted to tender Company Common Stock held or beneficially owned by the Company pursuant to or in respect of a Company Plan or a trust that relates to obligations pursuant to a Company Plan.

(b) The Offer shall expire on the date that is twenty (20) Business Days after the commencement of the Offer (determined using Rule 14d-1(g)(3) of the Exchange Act); provided, however, that, subject to the provisions of Article VIII, (i) if at any scheduled expiration date of the Offer, if any Offer Condition shall not have been satisfied or waived (to the extent permitted under applicable Law), Merger Sub may, in its sole discretion, without the consent of the Company, extend the Offer for one or more consecutive increments of not more than five (5) Business Days each (the length of such period to be determined by Parent or Merger Sub), until the earlier of (A) the termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms and (B) the date six (6) months from the date hereof (the “Walk-Away Date”) and (ii) if at any scheduled expiration date of the Offer, if any Offer Condition shall not have been satisfied or waived (to the extent permitted under applicable Law), Merger Sub shall (and Parent shall cause merger Sub to), extend the Offer at the request of the Company for one or more consecutive increments of not more than five (5) Business Days each (the length of such period to be determined by Parent or Merger Sub), until the earlier of (A) the termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms and (B) the Walk-Away Date; provided, however, that in no event shall Merger Sub be required to extend the Offer (x) beyond the Walk-Away Date or (y) at any time that Parent or Merger Sub is permitted to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Article VIII.

In addition, Merger Sub may (and shall where fewer than 90% of the total shares of Company Common Stock then outstanding have been accepted for payment in the Offer or are to be acquired pursuant to the exercise of the Top-Up Option immediately following the Acceptance Time) provide a subsequent offering period (a “Subsequent Offering Period”) after the expiration of the Offer, in accordance with Rule 14d-11 under the Exchange Act; provided, however, that in no event shall Merger Sub be required to provide a Subsequent Offering Period (x) beyond the Walk-Away Date or (y) at any time that Parent or Merger Sub is permitted to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Article VIII. Without the consent of the Company, Merger Sub shall have the right to extend the Offer for any period required by any rule, regulation, interpretation or position of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) or its staff applicable to the Offer.

(c) Subject to the terms of the Offer and this Agreement and the satisfaction, or waiver by Merger Sub, of all of the Offer Conditions, Merger Sub shall, and Parent shall cause Merger Sub to, (i) accept for payment all shares of Company Common Stock validly tendered and not validly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer promptly after the expiration date thereof (as the same may be extended or required to be extended, the “Expiration Date”) and pay for (subject to any applicable Tax withholding pursuant to Section 3.2(b)(iii)) such shares as soon as practicable (and, in any event, no more than two (2) Business Days ) after the Expiration Date or (ii) in the case of any shares of Company Common Stock tendered during any Subsequent Offering Period, accept for payment and pay for all such shares of Company Common Stock validly tendered and not validly withdrawn as soon as practicable (and, in any event, no more than two (2) Business Days following the valid tender of such Shares). The Offer may not be terminated prior to its expiration date (as such expiration date may be extended and re-extended in accordance with Section 1.1(b)), unless this Agreement is validly terminated in accordance with Section 8.1. Nothing contained in this Section 1.1(c) shall affect any termination rights set forth in Section 8.1.

SECTION 1.2 Offer Documents. On the date of commencement of the Offer, Parent and Merger Sub shall (a) file a Schedule TO (together with all amendments and supplements thereto, the “Schedule TO”) with respect to the Offer, which shall contain or shall incorporate by reference an offer to purchase (the “Offer to Purchase”) and forms of the related letter of transmittal and form of summary advertisement (the Schedule TO, the Offer to Purchase and such other documents, together with all amendments, supplements and exhibits thereto, the “Offer Documents”) and (b) cause the Offer Documents to be disseminated to the Company’s stockholders, in each case as and to the extent required by applicable Law. The Company shall as promptly as reasonably practicable supply Parent and Merger Sub in writing, for inclusion in the Offer Documents, all information concerning the Company required under the Exchange Act to be included in the Offer Documents. Each of Parent, Merger Sub and the Company agrees as soon as reasonably practicable to correct any information provided by them for use in the Offer Documents if and to the extent that such information shall have become false or misleading in any material respect, and each of Parent and Merger Sub further agrees to take all steps necessary to cause the Offer Documents as so corrected to be filed with the SEC and to be disseminated to the Company’s stockholders, in each case as and to the extent required by applicable Law. The Company and its counsel shall be given a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on the Offer Documents and any amendments thereto (including the proposed final version thereof) prior to the filing thereof with the SEC and Parent and Merger Sub shall give

due consideration to all reasonable additions, deletions or changes suggested thereto by the Company and its counsel. In addition, Parent and Merger Sub agree to provide the Company and its counsel any comments, whether written or oral, that Parent or Merger Sub may receive from the SEC or its staff with respect to the Offer Documents promptly after the receipt of such comments, and any written or oral responses thereto. The Company and its counsel shall be given a reasonable opportunity to review and comment upon such responses (including the proposed final version thereof) and Parent shall give due consideration to all reasonable additions, deletions or changes suggested thereto by the Company and its counsel. Each of Parent and Merger Sub shall cause the Schedule TO to comply in all material respects with the provisions of applicable Law.

SECTION 1.3 Offer Funds. Parent shall provide or cause to be provided to Merger Sub on a timely basis the funds necessary to purchase any shares of Company Common Stock that Merger Sub becomes obligated to purchase pursuant to the Offer.

The Company shall cause the Schedule 14D-9 to comply in all material respects with the provisions of applicable Law. Parent and Merger Sub shall furnish to the Company all information concerning Parent and Merger Sub required by the Exchange Act to be set forth in the Schedule 14D-9. Each of the Company, Parent and Merger Sub agrees to promptly correct any information provided by it for use in the Schedule 14D-9 if and to the extent that such information shall have become false or misleading in any material respect, and the Company further agrees to take all steps necessary to cause the Schedule 14D-9 as so corrected to be filed with the SEC and to be disseminated to the Company’s stockholders, in each case, as and to the extent required by applicable Law. Parent, Merger Sub and their counsel shall be given a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on the Schedule 14D-9 and any amendments thereto (including the proposed final version thereof) prior to the filing thereof with the SEC and the Company shall give due consideration to all reasonable additions, deletions or changes suggested thereto by Parent, Merger Sub and their counsel.

SECTION 1.5 Directors.

(a) Subject to compliance with applicable Law and the requirements of Section 1.5(c), promptly upon the acceptance for payment by Merger Sub of shares of Company

Common Stock pursuant to the Offer representing at least such number of shares of Company Common Stock as shall satisfy the Minimum Condition (the time of such acceptance, the “Acceptance Time”), and from time to time thereafter, Parent shall be entitled to designate such number of directors, rounded up to the next whole number, to the Company Board as is equal to the product of the total number of directors on the Company Board (determined after giving effect to the directors elected pursuant to this sentence) multiplied by the percentage of the total number of outstanding shares of Company Common Stock at such time represented by the aggregate number of shares of Company Common Stock beneficially owned by Parent, Merger Sub and their respective Subsidiaries at such time (including shares of Company Common Stock so accepted for payment); provided, however, that Parent shall be entitled to designate at least a majority of the directors on the Company Board as long as Parent and its Affiliates beneficially own a majority of the shares of Company Common Stock. In furtherance thereof and subject to applicable Law (including, to the extent applicable prior to the Effective Time, the continued listing requirements of the Nasdaq Global Market), the Company shall, upon request of Parent, promptly take all actions necessary to cause Parent’s designees to be so elected or appointed, including increasing the size of its Board of Directors (subject to compliance with the terms the Company Charter Documents) and/or obtaining the resignations of one or more incumbent directors and/or filling any newly created directorships and/or vacancies so created with Parent’s designees (with such method to be by the election of Parent and with Parent selecting the individuals designated for resignation). At such time and subject to applicable Law (including, to the extent applicable prior to the Effective Time, the continued listing requirements of the Nasdaq Global Market), the Company shall, upon request of Parent, also promptly take all actions necessary to cause individuals designated by Parent to constitute at least the same percentage (rounded up to the next whole number) as is on the Company Board of (i) each committee of the Company Board, (ii) each Board of Directors (or similar body) of each Subsidiary of the Company and (iii) each committee (or similar body) of each such Board of Directors. Prior to the Acceptance Time, the Company shall obtain and deliver to Parent and Merger Sub true and correct copies of duly executed, irrevocable resignation letters from such members of the Company Board necessary to allow the Company to comply with this Section 1.5, which resignation letters (x) shall be conditioned upon the occurrence of the Acceptance Time, (y) shall have been accepted by the Company Board and (z) shall remain in full force and effect at all times prior to the Effective Time.

(b) The Company’s obligations to appoint Parent’s designees to the Company Board shall be subject to Section 14(f) of the Exchange Act and Rule 14f-1 thereunder. The Company shall as promptly as reasonably practicable take all actions required pursuant to Section 14(f) and Rule 14f-1 in order to fulfill its obligations under this Section 1.5, including mailing to stockholders together with the Schedule 14D-9 the information required under Section 14(f) and Rule 14f-1 as is necessary to enable Parent’s designees to be elected or appointed to the Company Board (provided, that Parent and Merger Sub shall have provided to the Company on a timely basis any information with respect to itself and its officers, directors and Affiliates to the extent required by Section 14(f) and Rule 14f-1).

(c) In the event that Parent’s designees are elected or appointed to the Company Board pursuant to this Section 1.5, then, until the Effective Time, the Company shall cause the Company Board to maintain at least two directors who are members of the Company Board on the date of this Agreement and who are independent for purposes of Rule 10A-3 under

the Exchange Act (the “Independent Directors”); provided, however, that if the number of Independent Directors is reduced below two for any reason, the remaining Independent Director shall be entitled to nominate an individual who qualifies as an independent director for purposes of Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act to fill such vacancy who shall be deemed to be an Independent Director for purposes of this Agreement or, if no Independent Directors then remain, the other directors shall designate two individuals to fill such vacancies who are independent for purposes of Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act, and such individuals shall be deemed to be Independent Directors for purposes of this Agreement. The Company shall promptly take all action as may be necessary to comply with its obligations under this Section 1.5(c). Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, from and after the time, if any, that Parent’s designees pursuant to this Section 1.5 constitute a majority of the Company Board and prior to the Effective Time, subject to the terms hereof, (1) any amendment or termination of this Agreement by the Company, (2) any extension by the Company of the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of Parent or Merger Sub hereunder, (3) any exercise or waiver of any of the Company’s rights or remedies hereunder, (4) any amendment to the Company Charter Documents or (5) except for the Transactions in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, any transaction between the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and Parent or any of its Affiliates (other than the Company and its Subsidiaries), on the other, will require the concurrence of each of the Independent Directors (the “Independent Director Approval”). It is understood that the Independent Directors will be entitled to retain their own separate counsel.

SECTION 1.6 The Top-Up Option.

(a) The Company hereby grants to Merger Sub an irrevocable option (the “Top-Up Option”) to purchase from the Company that number of shares of Company Common Stock (the “Top-Up Shares”) equal to the lowest number of shares of Company Common Stock that, when added to the number of shares of Company Common Stock held by Parent and Merger Sub at the time of such exercise, shall constitute one share more than 90% of the total shares of Company Common Stock then outstanding (determined on a fully diluted basis and assuming the issuance of the Top-Up Shares), at a price per share equal to the Offer Price.

(b) The Top-Up Option shall be exercisable once in whole and not in part, (x) following the expiration of the Offer or any Subsequent Offering Period and (y) prior to the fifth (5th) Business Day after the applicable expiration date of the Offer or any Subsequent Offering Period; provided, however, that the obligation of the Company to deliver the Top-Up Shares is subject to the conditions that (i) no Restraint that has the effect of prohibiting the exercise of the Top-Up Option or preventing the issuance and delivery of the Top-Up Shares shall be in effect; (ii) the Top-Up Option shall not be exercisable for a number of shares of Company Common Stock in excess of the number of authorized but unissued shares of Company Common Stock that are not otherwise subscribed for or committed to be issued; and (iii) Merger Sub has accepted for payment and paid for all shares of Company Common Stock validly tendered in the Offer and any Subsequent Offering Period and not withdrawn; provided, further, that the Top-Up Option shall terminate upon the earlier to occur of (i) the Effective Time and (ii) the termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms. The parties shall cooperate to ensure that the issuance of the Top-Up Shares is accomplished consistent with applicable Law, including compliance with an applicable exemption from registration of the Top-Up Shares

under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (together with the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, the “Securities Act”). Parent and Merger Sub acknowledge that the Top-Up Shares that Merger Sub may acquire upon exercise of the Top-Up Option will not be registered under the Securities Act, and will be issued in reliance upon an applicable exemption from registration under the Securities Act. Each of Parent and Merger Sub hereby represents and warrants to the Company that Merger Sub will be, upon the purchase of the Top-Up Shares, an “accredited investor”, as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D under the Securities Act. Merger Sub agrees that the Top-Up Option and the Top-Up Shares to be acquired upon exercise of the Top-Up Option are being and will be acquired by Merger Sub for the purpose of investment and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any distribution thereof (within the meaning of the Securities Act).

(c) In the event Merger Sub wishes to exercise the Top-Up Option, Merger Sub shall notify the Company in writing, and shall set forth in such notice (i) the number of shares of Company Common Stock that will be owned by Parent and Merger Sub immediately preceding the purchase of the Top-Up Shares and (ii) the place and time for the closing of the purchase of the Top-Up Shares (the “Top-Up Closing”). The Company shall, as soon as practicable following receipt of such notice, notify Parent and Merger Sub in writing of the number of shares of Company Common Stock then outstanding and the number of Top-Up Shares. At the Top-Up Closing, Merger Sub shall pay the Company the aggregate price required to be paid for the Top-Up Shares and the Company shall cause to be issued to Merger Sub a certificate representing the Top-Up Shares, which certificate may include any legends required by applicable securities Laws. The aggregate price required to be paid for the Top-Up Shares or any portion thereof may be paid by Merger Sub either in cash or by executing and delivering to the Company a promissory note (the “Promissory Note”) having a principal amount equal to the aggregate cash purchase price for the Top-Up Shares. Any such promissory note (v) shall be full recourse against Parent and Merger Sub, (w) shall bear interest at the rate of interest per annum equal to the prime lending rate prevailing from time to time during such period as published in The Wall Street Journal, (x) shall mature on the first anniversary of the date of execution and delivery of such promissory note, (y) may be prepaid in whole or in part without premium or penalty and (z) shall have no other material terms.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, each of Parent, Merger Sub and the Company acknowledges and agrees that, in any appraisal proceeding under Section 262 of the DGCL with respect to Dissenting Shares, the Top-Up Option, the Top-Up Shares or any cash or Promissory Note delivered by Merger Sub to the Company in payment for such Top-Up Shares shall not be taken into account in connection with the determination of the fair value of the Dissenting Shares in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL.

SECTION 2.2 Closing.

ARTICLE III

Effect of the Merger on the Capital Stock of the Constituent Corporations; Exchange of Certificates; Company Stock Options and Other Stock-Based Awards

SECTION 3.1 Effect on Capital Stock. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the Company, Merger Sub or the holders of any securities of the Company or Merger Sub:

(a) Conversion of Company Common Stock. Each share of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any shares of Company Common Stock held by a Company Plan or a trust that relates to obligations pursuant to a Company Plan), other than (i) shares of Company Common Stock to be cancelled pursuant to Section 3.1(b) and (ii) Dissenting Shares, shall be converted automatically into and shall thereafter represent the right to receive an amount of cash equal to the Offer Price, without interest (the “Merger Consideration”). All shares of Company Common Stock that have been converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration as provided in this Section 3.1 shall be automatically cancelled and shall cease to exist, and the holders of certificates (the “Certificates”) or non-certificated shares of Company Common Stock represented by book-entry (“Book-Entry Shares”) which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented any such shares of Company Common Stock shall cease to have any rights with respect to such shares of Company Common Stock other than the right to receive the Merger Consideration.

(b) Parent and Merger Sub-Owned Shares. Each share of Company Common Stock that is owned, directly or indirectly, by Parent or Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time or held by the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time (in each case, other than any such shares of Company Common Stock held on behalf of third parties) (the “Cancelled Shares”) shall be cancelled and shall cease to exist, and no consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor.

(c) Conversion of Merger Sub Common Stock. Each share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and become one validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Surviving Corporation and shall constitute the only outstanding shares of capital stock of the Surviving Corporation.

(d) Dissenters’ Rights. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, shares of Company Common Stock that are issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than Cancelled Shares) and that are held by holders of such

shares of Company Common Stock who have not voted in favor of the adoption of this Agreement or consented thereto in writing and who have properly exercised appraisal rights with respect thereto in accordance with, and who have complied with, Section 262 of the DGCL (the “Dissenting Shares”) will not be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration, and holders of such Dissenting Shares will be entitled to receive payment of the fair value of such Dissenting Shares in accordance with the provisions of such Section 262 unless and until any such holder fails to perfect or effectively withdraws or loses its rights to appraisal and payment under the DGCL. If, after the Effective Time, any such holder fails to perfect or effectively withdraws or loses such right, such Dissenting Shares will thereupon be treated as if they had been converted into and have become exchangeable for, at the Effective Time, the right to receive the Merger Consideration, without any interest thereon, and the Surviving Corporation shall remain liable for payment of the Merger Consideration for such shares of Company Common Stock. At the Effective Time, any holder of Dissenting Shares shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the rights provided in Section 262 of the DGCL and as provided in the previous sentence. The Company will give Parent (i) prompt notice of any demands received by the Company for appraisals of shares of Company Common Stock and (ii) the opportunity to participate in and direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such notices and demands. The Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of Parent, make any payment with respect to any demands for appraisal or settle any such demands.

(e) Adjustments. If at any time during the period between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time, any change in the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock shall occur as a result of any reclassification, recapitalization, stock split (including a reverse stock split) or combination, exchange or readjustment of shares, or any stock dividend or stock distribution is declared with a record date during such period, the Merger Consideration shall be equitably adjusted to reflect such change.

SECTION 3.2 Exchange of Certificates.

(a) Paying Agent. At or prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall deposit, or shall cause to be deposited, with a U.S. bank or trust company that shall be appointed to act as a paying agent hereunder and approved in advance by the Company in writing (and pursuant to an agreement in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Parent and the Company) (the “Paying Agent”), in trust for the benefit of holders of the shares of Company Common Stock, the Company Stock Options and the Company Stock-Based Awards, cash in U.S. dollars sufficient to pay (i) the aggregate Merger Consideration in exchange for all of the shares of Company Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than the Cancelled Shares), payable upon due surrender of the Certificates (or effective affidavits of loss in lieu thereof) or Book-Entry Shares pursuant to the provisions of this Article III and (ii) the Option and Stock-Based Consideration payable pursuant to Section 3.3 (such cash referred to in subsections (a)(i) and (a)(ii) being hereinafter referred to as the “Exchange Fund”).

(b) Payment Procedures.

(i) As soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time and in any event not later than the second (2nd) Business Day following the Effective Time, the Paying Agent shall mail (x) to each holder of record of shares of Company Common

Stock whose shares of Company Common Stock were converted into the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 3.1, (A) a letter of transmittal (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of Certificates (or effective affidavits of loss in lieu thereof) or Book-Entry Shares to the Paying Agent and shall be in such form and have such other provisions as Parent and the Company may mutually agree) and (B) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of Certificates (or effective affidavits of loss in lieu thereof) or Book-Entry Shares in exchange for the Merger Consideration and (y) to each holder of a Company Stock Option or Company Stock-Based Award, a check in an amount due and payable to such holder pursuant to Section 3.3(a) or Section 3.3(b) hereof in respect of such Company Stock Option or Company Stock-Based Award.

(ii) Upon surrender of Certificates (or effective affidavits of loss in lieu thereof) or Book-Entry Shares to the Paying Agent together with such letter of transmittal, duly completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto, and such other documents as may customarily be required by the Paying Agent, the holder of such Certificates or Book-Entry Shares shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor a check in an amount equal to the product of (x) the number of shares of Company Common Stock represented by such holder’s properly surrendered Certificates (or effective affidavits of loss in lieu thereof) or Book-Entry Shares multiplied by (y) the Merger Consideration. No interest will be paid or accrued on any amount payable upon due surrender of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares. In the event of a transfer of ownership of shares of Company Common Stock that is not registered in the transfer records of the Company, a check for any cash to be paid upon due surrender of the Certificate may be paid to such a transferee if the Certificate formerly representing such shares of Company Common Stock is presented to the Paying Agent, accompanied by all documents required to evidence and effect such transfer and to evidence that any applicable stock transfer Taxes have been paid or are not applicable.

(iii) The Paying Agent, Parent and the Company shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable under this Agreement to any holder of shares of Company Common Stock, Company Stock Options or Company Stock-Based Awards, such amounts as are required to be withheld or deducted under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”) or any provision of U.S. state or local Tax Law with respect to the making of such payment. To the extent that amounts are so withheld or deducted and paid over to the applicable Governmental Authority, such withheld or deducted amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of shares of Company Common Stock, Company Stock Options or Company Stock-Based Awards, in respect of which such deduction and withholding were made.

(c) Closing of Transfer Books. At the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed, and there shall be no further registration of transfers on the stock transfer books of the Surviving Corporation of the shares of Company Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates are presented to the Surviving Corporation or Parent for transfer, they shall be cancelled and exchanged for a check in the proper amount pursuant to this Article III.

(d) Termination of Exchange Fund. Any portion of the Exchange Fund (including the proceeds of any investments thereof) that remains undistributed to the former holders of shares of Company Common Stock for one (1) year after the Effective Time shall be delivered to the Surviving Corporation upon demand, and any former holders of shares of Company Common Stock who have not surrendered their shares of Company Common Stock in accordance with Section 3.2 shall thereafter look only to the Surviving Corporation for payment of their claim for the Merger Consideration, without any interest thereon, upon due surrender of their shares of Company Common Stock.

(e) No Liability. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, none of the Company, Parent, Merger Sub, the Surviving Corporation, the Paying Agent or any other Person shall be liable to any former holder of shares of Company Common Stock for any amount properly delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law.

(f) Investment of Exchange Fund. The Paying Agent shall invest all cash included in the Exchange Fund as reasonably directed by Parent; provided, however, that any investment of such cash shall be limited to direct short-term obligations of, or short-term obligations fully guaranteed as to principal and interest by, the U.S. government. Any interest and other income resulting from such investments shall be paid to the Surviving Corporation pursuant to Section 3.2(d).

(g) Lost Certificates. In the case of any Certificate that has 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 the Paying Agent, the posting by such Person of a bond in customary amount as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, the Paying Agent will issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate a check in the amount of the number of shares of Company Common Stock represented by such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate multiplied by the Merger Consideration.

SECTION 3.3 Treatment of Company Stock Options, Company Stock-Based Awards and Restricted Shares.

(a) Company Stock Options. Each option to purchase shares of Company Common Stock (each, a “Company Stock Option”) granted under the Company Stock Plans, whether vested or unvested, that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, as of the Effective Time, become fully vested and be converted into the right to receive at the Effective Time an amount in cash in U.S. dollars equal to the product of (x) the total number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Company Stock Option and (y) the excess, if any, of the amount of the Offer Price over the exercise price per share of Company Common Stock subject to such Company Stock Option, with the aggregate amount of such payment rounded to the nearest cent (the aggregate amount of such cash hereinafter referred to as the “Option Consideration”) less such amounts as are required to be withheld or deducted under the Code or any provision of U.S. state or local Tax Law with respect to the making of such payment. Effective as of the Effective Time, the Company Stock Plans shall be cancelled and of no further force or effect.

(b) Other Stock-Based Awards. At the Effective Time, each right of any kind, contingent or accrued, to receive shares of Company Common Stock or benefits measured in whole or in part by the value of a number of shares of Company Common Stock granted under the Company Stock Plans or Company Plans (including restricted stock units, phantom units, deferred stock units and dividend equivalents), other than Restricted Shares and Company Stock Options (each, other than Restricted Shares and Company Stock Options, a “Company Stock-Based Award”), whether vested or unvested, which is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall cease to represent a right or award with respect to shares of Company Common Stock, shall become fully vested and shall entitle the holder thereof to receive, at the Effective Time an amount in cash equal to the Merger Consideration in respect of each share of Company Common Stock underlying a particular Company Stock-Based Award (the aggregate amount of such cash, together with the Option Consideration, hereinafter referred to as the “Option and Stock-Based Consideration”) less such amounts as are required to be withheld or deducted under the Code or any provision of U.S. state or local Tax Law with respect to the making of such payment.

(c) Restricted Shares. Immediately prior to the Effective Time, each award of restricted Company Common Stock (the “Restricted Shares”) shall vest in full and be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration as provided in Section 3.1(a), less such amounts as are required to be withheld or deducted under the Code or any provision of U.S. state or local Tax Law with respect to the making of such payment.

(d) Company Actions. The Compensation Committee of the Company Board shall make such adjustments or determinations with respect to the Company Stock Options, the Company Stock-Based Awards and Restricted Shares that, in each case, the Company determines to be necessary to implement the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.3.

(e) Rights of Holders. The holders of Company Stock Options, Company Stock-Based Awards and Restricted Shares shall have the right to enforce, and shall be beneficiaries with respect to, the provisions of this Section 3.3.

SECTION 6.3 No Solicitation by the Company; Etc.

(a) The Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries and the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ respective Representatives to, immediately cease and cause to be terminated any discussions or negotiations with any Person conducted heretofore with respect to a Takeover Proposal, and use reasonable best efforts to obtain the return from all such Persons or cause the destruction of all copies of confidential information previously provided within the last one (1) year to such parties by the Company, its Subsidiaries or Representatives in connection with exploring a sale of the Company. The Company shall not, and shall cause its Subsidiaries and Representatives not to, directly or indirectly (i) solicit, initiate, facilitate or encourage (including by way of furnishing or providing access to non-public information), or take any other action which would reasonably be expected to facilitate, any inquiries or proposals that constitute, or which would reasonably be expected to lead to, a Takeover Proposal, (ii) participate in any discussions or negotiations with any third party regarding any Takeover Proposal, (iii) approve any transaction under, or any Person (other than Parent or Merger Sub) becoming an “interested stockholder” under, Section 203 of the DGCL (except in connection with the Transactions

provided for in this Agreement) or (iv) enter into any merger or other agreement, agreement in principle, letter of intent, term sheet, joint venture agreement, partnership agreement or other similar instrument constituting or related to any Takeover Proposal; provided, however, that if after the date hereof but prior to the Acceptance Time the Company Board receives an unsolicited, bona fide written Takeover Proposal made after the date hereof but prior to the Acceptance Time and the Company Board determines in its good faith judgment (after consultation with outside counsel and a financial advisor of nationally recognized reputation) constitutes, or would reasonably be expected to lead to, a Superior Proposal, then the Company may, if a majority of the Company Board determines (after consultation with outside counsel) that it is necessary to take such actions in order to comply with its fiduciary duties to the stockholders of the Company under applicable Law, and subject to compliance with this Section 6.3(a) and Section 6.3(b), at any time prior to the Acceptance Time (but in no event after the Acceptance Time) and after providing Parent not less than forty eight (48) hours prior written notice of such determination by the Company Board (A) furnish information with respect to the Company and its Subsidiaries to the Person making such Takeover Proposal, but only after such Person enters into a customary confidentiality agreement with terms substantially similar to, and with a standstill not less restrictive, and other provisions not less restrictive (other than in an immaterial respect) than, those contained in the Confidentiality Agreement (including the “standstill” covenant); provided, that (1) such confidentiality agreement may not include any provision calling for an exclusive right to negotiate with the Company and (2) the Company provides Parent, in accordance with the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement, any non-public information with respect to the Company furnished to such other Person which was not previously furnished to Parent prior to the time it is provided to such other Person, which information shall be treated in accordance with the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement, and (B) participate in discussions and negotiations with such Person regarding such Takeover Proposal. Without limiting the foregoing, it is understood that any violation of the foregoing restrictions by the Company’s Subsidiaries or Representatives shall be deemed to be a material breach of this Section 6.3 by the Company.

(b) In addition to the other obligations of the Company set forth in this Section 6.3, the Company shall promptly advise Parent, orally and in writing (and in any case within twenty four (24) hours of knowledge of receipt) of the receipt by the Company of any Takeover Proposal, or any inquiry that would reasonably be expected to lead to any Takeover Proposal, and shall, in any such notice to Parent, indicate the identity of the Person making such Takeover Proposal and the terms and conditions of such Takeover Proposal (and shall include with such notice copies of any written materials received from or on behalf of such Person relating to such Takeover Proposal), and thereafter shall promptly keep Parent reasonably informed of all material developments affecting the status and terms of any such Takeover Proposal (and the Company shall provide Parent promptly after receipt or delivery thereof with copies of any additional written materials received that relate to such Takeover Proposal) and of the status of any such discussions or negotiations. In addition, during the period from the date of this Agreement through the Effective Time, the Company shall enforce, and not terminate, amend, modify or waive (except for a waiver of any standstill provisions to allow such counterparty to make a proposal to the Company Board) any provision of any confidentiality agreement to which it or any of its Subsidiaries is a party.

(c) Except as expressly permitted by this Section 6.3(c), neither the Company Board nor any committee thereof shall (i)(A) withdraw or modify, or propose publicly to withdraw or modify, in a manner adverse to Parent or Merger Sub, the recommendation by the Company Board that stockholders of the Company accept the Offer, tender their shares of Company Common Stock to Merger Sub pursuant to the Offer and adopt this Agreement (the “Company Board Recommendation”) or (B) approve, recommend or declare advisable, or propose publicly to approve, recommend or declare advisable, any Takeover Proposal or take any action or make any public statement inconsistent with the Company Board Recommendation (any action described in this clause (i) being referred to as a “Company Adverse Recommendation Change”) or (ii) approve or recommend, or propose publicly to approve or recommend, or cause or authorize the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to enter into, any letter of intent, agreement in principle, memorandum of understanding, merger, acquisition, purchase or joint venture agreement or other agreement constituting or related to, or that is intended to or reasonably expected to lead to, any Takeover Proposal (other than a confidentiality agreement in accordance with Section 6.3(a)) (each, a “Company Acquisition Agreement”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, (x) the Company Board may withdraw or modify the Company Board Recommendation, or recommend a Takeover Proposal, if the Company Board determines in its good faith judgment, after consulting with outside counsel, that the failure to make such withdrawal, modification or recommendation would be inconsistent with the Company Board’s fiduciary duties to the Company’s stockholders under the DGCL, and (y) if the Company Board receives after the date hereof but before the Acceptance Time an unsolicited, bona fide written Takeover Proposal that the Company Board determines in its good faith judgment (after consultation with outside counsel and a financial advisor of national reputation) constitutes a Superior Proposal, the Company Board may, in response to such Superior Proposal and after the expiration of the five (5) Business Day period described below (but in no event later than the Acceptance Time), enter into a Company Acquisition Agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal if the Company shall have concurrently with entering into such Company Acquisition Agreement terminated this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(c)(ii) and paid the Termination Fee required pursuant to Section 8.3, but only after the fifth (5th) Business Day following Parent’s receipt of written notice from the Company advising Parent that the Company Board is prepared to enter into a Company Acquisition Agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal, which notice shall specify the material terms of the applicable Takeover Proposal, identify the Person making such Superior Proposal, and include copies of any written materials relating to such Takeover Proposal (the “Company Notice of Adverse Recommendation”), and terminate this Agreement, and only if, during such five (5) Business Day period, the Company and its Representatives shall have, if requested by Parent, negotiated in good faith with Parent and Parent’s Representatives to make such adjustments in the terms of this Agreement as would enable Parent to proceed with the Transactions on such adjusted terms and, at the end of such five (5) Business Day period, after taking into account any such adjusted terms as may have been proposed by Parent since its receipt of such written notice, the Company Board has again in good faith made the determination referred to above in this clause (y). To the extent any five (5) Business Day period described in the preceding sentence would expire after the Acceptance Time, the Acceptance Time shall be automatically extended such that it will occur on the first (1st) Business Day after the expiration of such five (5) Business Day period. In the event of any material change to the terms of a Superior Proposal, the Company shall, in each case, make the determination referred to above in clause (y), including the delivery of a new Company Notice of Adverse Recommendation and the commencement of a new five (5) Business Day period.

(d) For purposes of this Agreement:

“Takeover Proposal” means any inquiry, proposal or offer (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 15% or more of the Company’s consolidated assets or to which 15% 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 or by merger, consolidation or otherwise) of 15% or more of any class of equity securities of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or (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 15% or more of any class of equity securities of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or of any resulting parent company of the Company, other than the Transactions.

“Superior Proposal” means a bona fide written offer, that did not arise from a breach of this Section 6.3, obtained after the date hereof but prior to the Acceptance Time, to acquire, directly or indirectly, for consideration consisting of cash and/or securities, all of the equity securities 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, with no financing contingency, which the Company Board determines in its good faith judgment (after consultation with outside counsel and a financial advisor of national reputation) to be (a) more favorable to the stockholders of the Company from a financial point of view than the Offer and the Merger, taking into account all relevant factors (including all the terms and conditions of such proposal and the Offer and this Agreement (including any changes to the terms of the Offer and this Agreement proposed by Parent in response to such offer or otherwise)) and (b) reasonably capable of being completed, taking into account all financial, regulatory, legal and other aspects and terms of such proposal and the third party.

(e) Nothing in this Section 6.3 shall prohibit the Company Board 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 or making any disclosure to its stockholders required pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC if the Company Board determines, in its good faith judgment, after consultation with outside counsel, that the failure to take such action would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties or applicable Law; provided, however, that in no event shall the Company or the Company Board or any committee thereof take, or agree or resolve to take, any action prohibited by Section 6.3.

(f) For purposes of this Section 6.3, the term “Representatives” shall mean directors, officers, consultants, legal counsel, financial advisors and authorized agents.

SECTION 6.4 Reasonable Best Efforts.

(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) their respective reasonable best 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 consummate and make effective, 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 required under applicable Antitrust Laws, (ii) obtain all approvals, consents, registrations, permits, authorizations and other confirmations from any Governmental Authority or third party necessary, proper or advisable to consummate the Transactions, (iii) execute and deliver any additional instruments necessary to consummate the Transactions and to fully carry out the purposes of this Agreement and (iv) subject to Section 6.3, make solicitations and recommendations to the holders of Company Common Stock for purposes of causing the Minimum Condition to be satisfied.

(b) In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, Parent and the Company each shall, in consultation and cooperation with the other and as promptly as practicable and without undue delay: (i) no later than five (5) Business Days following the execution and delivery of this Agreement, file a Notification and Report Form pursuant to the HSR Act with respect to the Transactions and use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all other actions consistent with this Section 6.4 necessary to cause the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting periods under the HSR Act as soon as practicable; (ii) file all appropriate filings required under any Non-U.S. Antitrust Law; and (iii) file all other appropriate filings required by any other Governmental Authority. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to (x) take all action necessary to ensure that no state takeover statute or similar Law is or becomes applicable to any of the Transactions and (y) if any state takeover statute or similar Law becomes applicable to any of the Transactions, take all action necessary 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.

(c) Each of the parties hereto agrees to supply as promptly as reasonably practicable any additional information and documentary material that may be requested by any Governmental Authority, and each of the parties hereto shall, and, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, promptly take any and all steps necessary to avoid or eliminate each and every impediment and obtain all consents under any applicable Antitrust Law that may be asserted or required by any foreign or U.S. federal, state or local Governmental Authority, in each case with competent jurisdiction, so as to enable the parties hereto to close the Transactions as promptly as practicable, and in any event prior to the Walk-Away Date. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 6.4 to the contrary, (A) neither Parent, Merger Sub, their Subsidiaries nor any of their respective Affiliates shall be required to take any action (including, without limitation, divesting or licensing or otherwise restricting use

or operation of assets, properties or businesses of either the Company, Parent or any of their respective Subsidiaries) that would materially impair the overall benefits expected to be realized from the consummation of the Transactions and (B) neither the Company nor any Company subsidiary or affiliate shall agree to take any action that would materially impair the overall benefits expected to be realized from the consummation of the Transactions without the prior written consent of Parent.

(d) In connection with and without limiting the foregoing, each of Parent and the Company shall (i) furnish to the other party such necessary information and reasonable assistance as the other party may request in connection with its preparation of any filing or submission which is necessary under the HSR Act, any Non-U.S. Antitrust Law or otherwise required by a Governmental Authority in connection with the Transactions, (ii) give the other party reasonable prior notice of any such filings or submissions and, to the extent reasonably practicable, of any communication with, and any inquiries or requests for additional information from, the FTC, the United States Department of Justice (“DOJ”) and any other Governmental Authority regarding the Transactions, and permit the other party to review and discuss in advance, and consider in good faith the views of, and secure the participation of, the other party in connection with, any such filings, submissions, communications, inquiries or requests, (iii) unless prohibited by applicable Law or by the applicable Governmental Authority, and to the extent reasonably practicable, (A) not participate in or attend any meeting, or engage in any substantive conversation, with any Governmental Authority in respect of the Transactions without the other party, (B) give the other party reasonable prior notice of any such meeting or conversation, (C) in the event one party is prohibited by applicable Law or by the applicable Governmental Authority from participating in or attending any such meeting or engaging in any such conversation, keep such party apprised with respect thereto, (D) cooperate in the filing of any substantive memoranda, white papers, filings, correspondence or other written communications explaining or defending this Agreement or any of the Transactions, articulating any regulatory or competitive argument or responding to requests or objections made by any Governmental Authority and (E) furnish the other party with copies of all filings, submissions, correspondence and communications (and memoranda setting forth the substance thereof) between it and its affiliates and their respective Representatives, on the one hand, and any U.S. or foreign Governmental Authority or members of any Governmental Authority’s staff, on the other hand, with respect to this Agreement and the Transactions and (iv) comply with any inquiry or information or document request from the FTC, the DOJ or any other U.S. or foreign Governmental Authority as promptly as reasonably practicable.

SECTION 6.5 Takeover Statute. If any “fair price,” “moratorium,” “control share acquisition” or other form of antitakeover statute or regulation shall become applicable to the Transactions, each of the Company and Parent and the members of their respective Boards of Directors shall grant such approvals and take such actions as are necessary so that the Transactions may be consummated as promptly as practicable on the terms contemplated hereby and otherwise act to eliminate or minimize the effects of such statute or regulation on the Transactions.

SECTION 6.6 Public Announcements. The initial press releases issued by Parent and the Company with respect to the execution of this Agreement shall be reasonably agreed upon by Parent and the Company. Thereafter, neither the Company nor Parent shall issue or cause the publication of any press release or other public announcement (to the extent not previously issued or made in accordance with this Agreement) with respect to the Offer, the Merger, this Agreement or the other Transactions without the prior consent of the other party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), except (a) as may be required by Law or by any applicable listing agreement with a national securities exchange as determined in the good faith judgment of the party proposing to make such release (in which case such party shall not issue or cause the publication of such press release or other public announcement without prior consultation with the other party) or (b) to bring or defend a claim in connection with any dispute between the parties regarding this Agreement or the Transactions.

SECTION 6.7 Access to Information; Confidentiality.

(a) The Company shall afford to Parent and to its officers, employees, accountants, consultants, legal counsel, financial advisors, agents and other representatives (collectively, “Representatives”) reasonable access during normal business hours, throughout the period prior to the earlier of the Effective Time and the Termination Date, to its and its Subsidiaries’ properties, contracts, commitments, books and records and any report, schedule or other document filed or received by it pursuant to the requirements of applicable Laws. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be required to afford such access if it would unreasonably disrupt the operations of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, would cause a violation of any agreement to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party, would reasonably be likely to result in a loss of privilege to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or would constitute a violation of any applicable Law.

(b) No review pursuant to this Section 6.7 shall affect or be deemed to modify any representation or warranty contained herein, the covenants or agreements of the parties hereto or the conditions to the obligations of the parties hereto under this Agreement. All information provided pursuant to this Section 6.7 shall be subject to the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement.

SECTION 6.8 Notification of Certain Matters. The Company shall give prompt notice to Parent, and Parent shall give prompt notice to the Company, of (i) any notice or other communication received by such party 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 Parent, (ii) any actions, suits, claims, investigations or proceedings commenced or, to such party’s Knowledge, threatened against, relating to or involving or otherwise affecting such party or any of its Subsidiaries which relate to the Transactions, (iii) the discovery of any fact or circumstance that, or the occurrence or non-occurrence of any event the occurrence or non-occurrence of which, would cause an Offer Condition not to be satisfied, and (iv) any material failure of such party to comply with or satisfy any covenant or agreement to be complied with or satisfied by it hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the delivery of any notice pursuant to this Section 6.8 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.

SECTION 6.9 Indemnification and Insurance.

(a) Parent and Merger Sub agree that all rights to exculpation, indemnification and advancement of expenses now existing in favor of the current or former directors, officers or employees, as the case may be, of the Company or its Subsidiaries as provided in their respective certificate of incorporation or bylaws or other organization documents or in any agreement shall survive the Merger and shall continue in full force and effect. For a period of six (6) years from the Effective Time, Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall maintain in effect the exculpation, indemnification and advancement of expenses provisions of the Company’s and any of its Subsidiaries’ certificate of incorporation and bylaws or similar organization documents in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, and shall not amend, repeal or otherwise modify any such provisions in any manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of any individuals who at the Effective Time were current or former directors, officers or employees of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; provided, however, that all rights to indemnification in respect of any Action pending or asserted or any claim made within such period shall continue until the disposition of such Action or resolution of such claim. From and after the Effective Time, Parent shall assume, be jointly and severally liable with the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries for, and honor, guaranty and stand surety for, and shall cause the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries to maintain such policies in full force and effect, and continue to honor, in accordance with their respective terms, each of the covenants contained in this Section 6.9 without limit as to time.

(b) Each of Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law, indemnify and hold harmless (and advance funds in respect of each thereof) each current and former director, officer or employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and each person who served as a director, officer, member, trustee or fiduciary of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, pension or other employee benefit plan or enterprise (each, together with such person’s heirs, executors or administrators, an “Indemnified Party”) against any costs or expenses (including advancing attorneys’ fees and expenses in advance of the final disposition of any Action to each Indemnified Party to the fullest extent permitted by law), judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages, liabilities and amounts paid in settlement in connection with any actual or threatened Action, arising out of, relating to or in connection with any action or omission occurring or alleged to have occurred whether before or after the Effective Time (including acts or omissions in connection with such persons serving as an officer, director or other fiduciary in any entity if such service was at the request or for the benefit of the Company). In the event of any such Action, Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall cooperate with the Indemnified Party in the defense of any such Action.

(c) For a period of six (6) years from the Effective Time, Parent shall cause to be maintained in effect the Company’s current policies of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance maintained by the Company and its Subsidiaries with respect to matters arising on or before the Effective Time; provided, however, that after the Effective Time, Parent shall not be required to pay annual premiums in excess of 300% of the last annual premium paid by the Company prior to the date hereof in respect of the coverages required to be obtained pursuant

hereto, but in such case shall purchase as much coverage as reasonably practicable for such amount. At the Company’s option, the Company may purchase prior to the Effective Time, a six-year prepaid “tail” policy on terms and conditions providing substantially equivalent benefits as the current policies of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance maintained by the Company and its Subsidiaries with respect to matters arising on or before the Effective Time, covering without limitation the transactions contemplated hereby. If such “tail” prepaid policy has been obtained by Company prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall cause such policy to be maintained in full force and effect, for its full term, and cause all obligations thereunder to be honored by the Surviving Corporation, and no other party shall have any further obligation to purchase or pay for insurance hereunder.

(d) Parent shall pay all reasonable expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, that may be incurred by any Indemnified Party in enforcing the indemnity and other obligations provided in this Section 6.9.

(e) The rights of each Indemnified Party hereunder shall be in addition to, and not in limitation of, any other rights such Indemnified Party may have under the certificate of incorporation or bylaws or other organization documents of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or the Surviving Corporation, any other indemnification agreement or arrangement, the DGCL or otherwise. The provisions of this Section 6.9 shall survive the consummation of the Merger and expressly are intended to benefit, and are enforceable by, each of the Indemnified Parties.

(f) In the event Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity in such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any person, then, and in either such case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Parent or the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, shall assume the obligations set forth in this Section 6.9.

SECTION 6.10 Fees and Expenses. Except as provided in Section 8.3, all fees and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the Transactions shall be paid by the party incurring such fees or expenses, whether or not the Transactions are consummated. Other than any Taxes imposed upon a holder of shares of the Company Common Stock, Company Stock Options or Company Stock-Based Awards, the Company shall pay all Taxes incident to preparing for, entering into and carrying out this Agreement and the consummation of the Transactions (including (i) transfer, stamp and documentary Taxes or fees and (ii) sales, use, gains, real property transfer and other similar Taxes or fees).

SECTION 6.11 Rule 16b-3. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall take such steps as may be required by applicable Law to cause dispositions of Company equity securities (including derivative securities) pursuant to the Merger by each individual who is a director or officer of the Company subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act to be exempt under Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act in accordance with that certain No-Action Letter dated January 12, 1999, issued by the SEC regarding such matters.

SECTION 6.12 Further Assurances. In case at any time after the Acceptance Date (including after the Effective Time) any further action is necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement or to vest the Surviving Corporation with full title to all properties, assets, rights, approvals, immunities and franchises of any of the parties to the Merger, the proper officers and directors of each party to this Agreement and their respective Subsidiaries shall take all such necessary action as may be reasonably requested by Parent.

SECTION 6.13 Merger Without Meeting of Stockholders. If, after the consummation of the Offer and any exercise of the Top-Up Option, the number of shares of Company Common Stock beneficially owned by Parent, Merger Sub and their respective Subsidiaries collectively represent at least 90% of the then outstanding shares of Company Common Stock, Parent shall cause Merger Sub to, and the Company shall execute and deliver such documents and instruments and take such other actions as Parent or Merger Sub may reasonably request in order to, cause the Merger to be completed as promptly as reasonably practicable in accordance with Section 253 of the DGCL, without a Company Stockholders Meeting or Company Stockholder Approval, and otherwise as provided in this Agreement.

SECTION 6.14 Employee Matters.

(a) During the period commencing at the Acceptance Time and ending on the first anniversary of the Acceptance Time (the “Continuation Period”), Parent shall provide or cause the Company and the Surviving Corporation to provide to each individual who is employed by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries immediately prior to the Acceptance Time (each, a “Continuing Employee”), compensation and employee benefits that are substantially similar in the aggregate to the compensation and employee benefits, other than severance and termination benefits, provided to similarly situated employees of Parent, pursuant to compensation and benefit plans sponsored by Parent or its Affiliates.

(b) Without limiting the generality of Section 6.14(a), for the period ending on the earlier of the Continuation Period or the term of such employment agreement, Parent shall cause or shall cause the Company and the Surviving Corporation to maintain and honor the employment agreements set forth on Section 6.14(b) of the Company Disclosure Letter.

(c) With respect to all employee benefits plans, programs and arrangements maintained by Parent, the Surviving Corporation and their respective Affiliates, each Continuing Employee’s service with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (as well as service with any predecessor employer of the Company or such Subsidiaries, to the extent service with the predecessor employer is recognized by the Company or such Subsidiaries) shall be treated for all purposes as service with Parent, the Surviving Corporation and their respective Affiliates; provided, however, that such service need not be recognized to the extent that such recognition would result in any duplication of benefits for the same period of service.

(d) If the Parent or Surviving Corporation replaces a health benefit plan in which the Continuing Employees participate in the plan year in which the Acceptance Time occurs, the Surviving Corporation shall, and Parent shall direct the Surviving Corporation to, (x) reduce any period of limitation on health benefits coverage of Continuing Employees due to pre-existing conditions (or actively at work or similar requirements) under the applicable health

benefits plan of the Surviving Corporation to the extent reduced under the similar Company Plan as of the Acceptance Time, (y) waive any and all eligibility waiting periods and evidence of insurability requirements with respect to such Continuing Employees to the extent that any applicable eligibility waiting periods or evidence of insurability requirements under similar Company Plans were waived or satisfied (or deemed to be satisfied) with respect to the Continuing Employees under the similar Company Plans as of the Acceptance Time and (z) credit each Continuing Employee with all deductible payments, co-payments, and other out-of-pocket payments paid by such employee under a Company Plan prior to the Acceptance Time during the year in which the Closing occurs for the purpose of determining the extent to which any such employee has satisfied his or her deductible and whether he or she has reached the out-of-pocket maximum under the health benefit plan of the Surviving Corporation for such year.

(e) Nothing in this Section 6.14 shall (i) confer any rights or remedies of any kind or description upon any Continuing Employee or any other Person other than the Company and Parent and their respective successors and assigns, (ii) except as may otherwise be required to comply with Section 6.14, be construed as an amendment, waiver or creation of or limitation on the ability to terminate any Company Plan or benefit plan or agreement of Parent or (iii) limit the ability of the Parent, the Company, the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective Subsidiaries to terminate the employment of any Continuing Employee at any time.

SECTION 6.15 Merger Sub and Surviving Corporation Compliance. Parent shall cause Merger Sub or the Surviving Corporation, as applicable, to comply with all of its respective obligations under this Agreement and Merger Sub shall not engage in any activities of any nature except as provided in or contemplated by this Agreement.

SECTION 6.16 Certain Litigation. The Company shall give Parent (i) prompt notice of, and copies of all pleadings and correspondence relating to, any Action against the Company or any of its directors or officers by any of the Company’s stockholders arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Transactions and (ii) the opportunity to participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to any such stockholder Action. The Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of Parent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), settle or offer to settle any such stockholder Action.

SECTION 6.17 Guarantee of Guarantor.

(a) Guarantor is executing this Agreement to guarantee the performance by each of Parent and Merger Sub of its payment and performance obligations under this Agreement. Guarantor hereby guarantees unconditionally Parent and Merger Sub’s payment obligations in and performance under this Agreement. This guarantee shall apply regardless of any waivers or extensions to this Agreement whether or not Guarantor received notice of the same and Guarantor waives all need for notice of the same.

(b) Guarantor is a corporation, duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the Laws of Canada and has all requisite corporate power and authority to own, lease and operate their respective properties and assets and to carry on their respective businesses as they are now being conducted. Guarantor indirectly owns all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Parent.

(c) Guarantor has all necessary corporate power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement, to perform its obligations hereunder and to consummate the Transactions. The execution and delivery of this Agreement by Guarantor and the performance of Guarantor of its obligations hereunder have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action, and no other corporate proceedings on the part of Guarantor. This Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by Guarantor, and assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by the Company, constitutes the valid and binding obligation of Guarantor, enforceable against Guarantor in accordance with its terms, subject to the Bankruptcy and Equity Exception.

SECTION 6.18 Control of Operations. Except as provided for in this Agreement, nothing contained in this Agreement shall give Parent, directly or indirectly, the right to control or direct the Company’s operations prior to the Effective Time. Except as provided for in this Agreement, prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall exercise, consistent with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, complete control and supervision over its operations.

ARTICLE VIII

Termination

SECTION 8.1 Termination. This Agreement may be terminated and the Offer and the Merger abandoned at any time prior to the Acceptance Time, notwithstanding the receipt of any Company Stockholder Approval:

(a) by the mutual written consent of the Company and Parent duly authorized by the Company Board and the Board of Directors of Parent; or

(b) by either of the Company or Parent:

(i) if any Restraint having the effect set forth in Section 7.1(b) shall be in effect and shall have become final and nonappealable; provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 8.1(b)(i) shall not be available to a party if such Restraint was primarily due to the failure of such party to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement;

(ii) if the Offer shall have expired pursuant to its terms (taking into account all extensions made in accordance with Section 1.1 hereof) without any shares of Company Common Stock being purchased therein, provided, however that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 8.1(b)(ii) shall not be available to any party whose failure to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement resulted in the failure of Merger Sub to purchase shares of Company Common Stock in the Offer;

(iii) if no shares of Company Common Stock shall have been purchased pursuant to the Offer on or before the Walk-Away Date; provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 8.1(b)(iii) shall not be available to any party whose failure to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement resulted in the failure of the Offer to be so consummated by the Walk-Away Date; or

(i) if Merger Sub shall have failed to commence the Offer on or prior to the date provided therefor in Section 1.1 and such breach is not cured within ten (10) Business Days following receipt of written notice of such breach from the Company; provided, however, that the Company may not terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1(c)(i) if the Company is in material breach of Article I;

(ii) if concurrently it enters into a definitive Company Acquisition Agreement providing for a Superior Proposal in accordance with Section 6.3; provided, that (x) prior to or simultaneously therewith the Company shall have paid or caused to be paid the Termination Fee to Parent in accordance with Section 8.3 (and such termination of this Agreement by the Company shall not take effect unless and until the Termination Fee has been paid to Parent) and (y) the Company shall also have complied with all the other requirements of Section 6.3;

(iii) if Parent or Merger Sub breaches or fails to perform any of its representations, warranties or covenants contained in this Agreement, or any such representation or warranty shall have become untrue or incorrect on any date subsequent to the date hereof, in any such case, which breach or failure to perform (A) has had and would reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Parent Material Adverse Effect and (B) is not curable or has not been cured before the earlier of the Walk-Away Date or twenty (20) calendar days following receipt of written notice of such breach or failure to perform; or

(d) by Parent:

(i) if (A) a Company Adverse Recommendation Change shall have occurred or (B) following the public announcement of a Takeover Proposal or the commencement of a tender offer or exchange offer for the Company Shares, the Company Board shall have failed to publicly confirm the Company Board Recommendation (and, in the case of a tender offer or exchange offer, failed to publicly recommend that the holders of Company Shares reject such tender offer or exchange offer) upon Parent’s written request within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of any such request (or, in the case of a tender or exchange offer, such commencement) (or, if the Walk-Away Date is fewer than ten (10) Business Days after the Company’s receipt of such request from Parent or, in the case of a tender or exchange offer, the commencement, by the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Walk-Away Date);

(ii) if the Company breaches or fails to perform any of its representations, warranties or covenants contained in this Agreement or any such representation or warranty or warranty shall have become untrue or incorrect on any date subsequent to the date hereof, in any such case, which breach or failure to perform (A) would give rise to the conditions set forth in clause (c)(ii) of Annex A and (B) is not curable or has not been cured before the earlier of the Walk-Away Date or twenty (20) calendar days following receipt of written notice of such breach or failure to perform;

(iii) prior to the Expiration Date, if the Company shall have materially breached any of the provisions of Section 6.3; or

(iv) prior to the Expiration Date, if on any then scheduled expiration date of the Offer, Parent is not required to extend the Offer pursuant to this Agreement and any of the conditions set forth in Annex A shall not have been satisfied.

SECTION 8.2 Effect of Termination. In the event of the termination of this Agreement as provided in Section 8.1, written notice thereof shall be given to the other party or parties, specifying the provision hereof pursuant to which such termination is made, and this Agreement shall forthwith become null and void (other than the provisions of the second sentence of Section 1.4(c), the first sentence of Section 4.21, Section 5.9, the second sentence of Section 6.6, the last sentence of Section 6.7(b), Section 6.10, this Section 8.2 and Section 8.3, and Article IX, all of which shall survive termination of this Agreement), and there shall be no liability on the part of Parent, Merger Sub or the Company or their respective directors, officers

and Affiliates, except (i) the Company may have liability as provided in Section 8.3 and (ii) nothing shall relieve any party from liability for fraud or any willful and material breach of this Agreement.

SECTION 8.3 Termination Fee.

(a) In the event that:

(i) (A) a Takeover Proposal shall have been made directly to the Company Board or the Company’s stockholders, any Person shall have publicly announced an intention (whether or not conditional or withdrawn) to make such a Takeover Proposal or such a Takeover Proposal otherwise becomes publicly known, and thereafter, (B) this Agreement is terminated by the Company or Parent pursuant to Section 8.1(b)(ii) or Section 8.1(b)(iii) and (C) the Company enters into a definitive agreement with respect to, or consummates, a transaction contemplated by any Takeover Proposal within twelve (12) months of the date this Agreement is terminated;

(ii) (A) a Takeover Proposal shall have been made to the Company Board or the Company’s stockholders, any Person shall have publicly announced an intention (whether or not conditional or withdrawn) to make such a Takeover Proposal or such a Takeover Proposal otherwise becomes publicly known, and thereafter, (B) this Agreement is terminated by the Parent pursuant to Section 8.1(d)(ii) or Section 8.1(d)(iii) and (C) the Company enters into a definitive agreement with respect to, or consummates, a transaction contemplated by any Takeover Proposal within twelve (12) months of the date this Agreement is terminated;

(iii) this Agreement is terminated by Parent pursuant to Section 8.1(d)(i); or

(iv) this Agreement is terminated by the Company pursuant to Section 8.1(c)(ii);

then in any such event under clauses (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv) of this Section 8.3(a), the Company shall pay to Parent a termination fee of $16,172,214 in cash (the “Termination Fee”).

For purposes of Section 8.3(a)(i) and Section 8.3(a)(ii), the term “Takeover Proposal” shall have the meaning set forth in the definition of Takeover Proposal contained in Section 6.3(d) except that all references to 15% shall be deemed references to 50%.

(b) Any payment required to be made pursuant to clauses (i) or (ii) of Section 8.3(a) shall be made to Parent within five (5) Business Days following the earlier of the execution of a definitive agreement with respect to, or the consummation of any transaction contemplated by a Takeover Proposal; any payment required to be made pursuant to clause (iii) of Section 8.3(a) shall be made to Parent promptly following termination of this Agreement by Parent pursuant to Section 8.1(d)(i) (and in any event not later than one (1) Business Day after delivery to the Company of notice of demand for payment following such termination); any payment required to be made pursuant to clause (iv) of Section 8.3(a) shall be made to Parent

prior to or simultaneously with (and as a condition to the effectiveness of) termination of this Agreement by the Company pursuant to Section 8.1(c)(ii). All such payments shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account to be designated by Parent.

(c) In the event that this Agreement is terminated by Parent pursuant to Section 8.1(d)(ii) (and no amount is payable by Company pursuant to Section 8.3(a)), then the Company shall pay Parent a fee equal to Parent’s documented out-of-pocket fees and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the Transactions, by wire transfer of same-day funds three (3) Business Days after the date of such termination of this Agreement as referred to in this sentence; provided, that the foregoing shall not limit or be deemed to limit any liability of the Company or damages or other remedy to which Parent may be entitled as a result of any willful breach of this Agreement by the Company. The Company will not be obligated to make a payment pursuant to this Section 8.3(c) if the Company has paid or is required to pay the Termination Fee set forth in Section 8.3(a), and any fees paid by the Company under this Section 8.3(c) will be credited against any such Termination Fee to the extent that such fee subsequently becomes payable by the Company.

(d) The Company acknowledges that the fee and the other provisions of this Section 8.3 are an integral part of the Transactions and that, without these agreements, Parent would not enter into this Agreement. Accordingly, in the event that the Company shall fail to pay the Termination Fee required pursuant to this Section 8.3 when due, such fee shall accrue interest for the period commencing on the date such fee became past due, at a rate equal to the rate of interest publicly announced by Citibank, in the City of New York from time to time during such period, as such bank’s Prime Lending Rate plus 1.00%. In addition, if the Company shall fail to pay such fee when due, the Company shall also pay to Parent all of Parent’s costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) in connection with efforts to collect such fee.

(e) In the event that this Agreement is terminated by the Company pursuant to Section 8.1(c)(iii), then Parent shall pay the Company a fee equal to the Company’s documented out-of-pocket fees and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the Transactions, by wire transfer of same-day funds three (3) Business Days after the date of such termination of this Agreement as referred to in this sentence; provided, that the foregoing shall not limit or be deemed to limit any liability of Parent or damages or other remedy to which the Company may be entitled as a result of any willful breach of this Agreement by Parent.

Any agreement on the part of a party hereto to any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed on behalf of such party.

SECTION 9.4 Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder shall be assigned, in whole or in part, by operation of Law or otherwise, by any of the parties without the prior written consent of the other parties, except that Merger Sub may, prior to the mailing of the Company Proxy Statement, if any, assign, in its sole discretion, any of or all its rights, interests and obligations under this Agreement to any wholly owned Subsidiary of Parent, but no such assignment shall relieve Merger Sub of any of its obligations hereunder. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement shall be binding upon, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by facsimile or other means of electronic transmission (such as via portable document format (.pdf)) shall be as effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart.

SECTION 9.6 Entire Agreement; No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement, together with Annex A hereto, the Company Disclosure Letters and the Confidentiality Agreement (a) constitute the entire agreement, and supersede all other prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the parties, or any of them, with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and (b) except for the provisions of Section 6.9,

SECTION 9.7 Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial.

(a) This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware.

(b) Each of the parties hereto irrevocably agrees that any legal action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement and the rights and obligations arising hereunder, or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect of this Agreement and the rights and obligations arising hereunder brought by the other party hereto or its successors or assigns, shall be brought and determined exclusively in the Delaware Court of Chancery and any state appellate court therefrom within the State of Delaware (or, if the Delaware Court of Chancery declines to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, any federal court within the State of Delaware). Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably submits with regard to any such action or proceeding for itself and in respect of its property, generally and unconditionally, to the personal jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts and agrees that it will not bring any action relating to this Agreement or any of the Transactions in any court other than the aforesaid courts. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense, counterclaim or otherwise, in any action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement, (a) any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of the above named courts for any reason other than the failure to serve in accordance with this Section 9.7, (b) any claim that it or its property is exempt or immune from jurisdiction of any such court or from any legal process commenced in such courts (whether through service of notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution of judgment, execution of judgment or otherwise) and (c) to the fullest extent permitted by the applicable Law, any claim that (i) the suit, action or proceeding in such court is brought in an inconvenient forum, (ii) the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper or (iii) this Agreement, or the subject matter hereof, may not be enforced in or by such courts.

(c) EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THE ACTIONS OF THE PARTIES HERETO IN THE NEGOTIATION, ADMINISTRATION, PERFORMANCE AND ENFORCEMENT OF THIS AGREEMENT.

SECTION 9.8 Specific Enforcement. The parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached, including if the parties hereto fail to take any action required of them hereunder to consummate this Agreement,

and that monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy therefor. It is accordingly agreed that the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in any court specified in Section 9.7(b), without proof of damages or bond or other security being required, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. The parties further agree not to assert that a remedy of specific enforcement is unenforceable, invalid, contrary to Law or inequitable for any reason, nor to assert that a remedy of monetary damages would provide an adequate remedy or that the parties otherwise have an adequate remedy at law. Each of the parties acknowledges and agrees that the right of specific enforcement is an integral part of the Transactions and without such right, none of the parties would have entered into this Agreement.

SECTION 9.9 Notices. All notices, requests and other communications to any party hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed given if delivered personally, facsimiled (which is confirmed) or sent by overnight courier (providing proof of delivery) to the parties at the following addresses:

CONDITIONS TO THE OFFER

Notwithstanding any other term of the Offer or the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub shall not be required to accept for payment or, subject to any applicable rules and regulations of the SEC, including Rule 14e-1(c) under the Exchange Act (relating to Merger Sub’s obligation to pay for or return tendered shares of Company Common Stock promptly after the termination or withdrawal of the Offer), to pay for any shares of Company Common Stock tendered pursuant to the Offer and, subject to the rules and regulations of the SEC, may delay the acceptance for payment of or payment for shares of Company Common Stock, if at any scheduled expiration date of the Offer:

(a) there shall not have been validly tendered (not including Shares tendered pursuant to procedures for guaranteed delivery and not actually delivered prior to the Expiration Date) and not withdrawn a number of shares of Company Common Stock that, together with the shares of Company Common Stock, if any, then owned by Parent, Merger Sub or any of their respective Subsidiaries, would represent more than a majority of the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock on a fully diluted basis on the date of purchase (which means, as of any time, the number of shares of Company Common Stock outstanding, together with all shares of Company Common Stock that the Company would be required to issue pursuant to the conversion or exercise of all options, rights and securities convertible into or exercisable for shares of Company Common Stock or otherwise) (the “Minimum Condition”);

(b) any applicable waiting period (and any extension thereof) applicable to the consummation of the Offer under the HSR Act and any other applicable foreign antitrust, competition or similar Law shall not have expired or been terminated;

(i) (A) there shall be any Restraint in effect preventing or prohibiting the consummation of the Offer or the Merger or (B) there shall be pending any Action initiated or brought by any Governmental Authority seeking to enjoin, restrain, prohibit or otherwise prevent the consummation of the Offer or the Merger or to impose limitations on the ownership of the capital stock or the business of the Company by Parent or Merger Sub or seeking any action that is not required to be undertaken pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement;

(ii) (A)(1) since the date of the Merger Agreement, there shall have occurred any event, change, circumstance, occurrence, effect or state of facts that has had or would reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Company Material Adverse Effect or (2) (x) any representation or warranty of the Company set forth in Section 4.2 (Capitalization) of the Merger Agreement shall not be true and correct in all but de minimis respects, (y) any representation or warranty of the Company set forth in Section 4.1 (Qualification, Organization, Subsidiaries, Etc.), Section 4.3 (Authority; Noncontravention; Voting Requirements), Section 4.19 (Opinion of Financial Advisor) or Section 4.21 (Brokers and Other Advisors) of the Merger Agreement shall

A-1

not be true and correct in all respects (other than immaterial inaccuracies) and (z) any representation or warranty of the Company set forth in Article IV of the Merger Agreement (other than the representations and warranties referred to in the foregoing clauses (x) and (y)) shall not be true and correct, other than for such failures to be true and correct that have not had and would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Company Material Adverse Effect, in each case with respect to the foregoing clauses (x), (y) and (z), as of the date of the Merger Agreement and as of such scheduled expiration date of the Offer, except to the extent such representation or warranty expressly relates to a specified date (in which case on and as of such specified date); (B) the Company shall have breached or failed in any material respect to perform or comply with any obligation, agreement or covenant required by the Merger Agreement to be performed or complied with by it; or (C) Parent and Merger Sub shall have failed to receive a certificate of an executive officer of the Company, dated as of the scheduled expiration date of the Offer, to the effect that none of the conditions set forth in the foregoing clauses (A) and (B) shall exist; or

(iii) the Merger Agreement shall have been terminated in accordance with its terms or shall have been amended in accordance with its terms to provide for such termination or amendment of the Offer (the “Termination Condition”).

The foregoing conditions are for the sole benefit of Merger Sub and Parent and may be asserted by Merger Sub or Parent regardless of the circumstances giving rise to such condition, in whole or in part at any applicable time or from time to time in their sole discretion prior to the expiration of the Offer, and all conditions (except for the Minimum Condition) may be waived by Parent or Merger Sub in their sole discretion in whole or in part at any applicable time or from time to time, in each case subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement and the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC. The failure of Parent or Merger Sub at any time to exercise any of the foregoing rights shall not be deemed a waiver of any such right and each such right shall be deemed an ongoing right that may be asserted at any time and from time to time.

Capitalized terms used in this Annex A and not otherwise defined shall have the respective meanings assigned thereto in the Agreement and Plan of Merger to which this Annex A is attached (the “Merger Agreement”).

Ladies and Gentlemen:

At the request of Valeant Pharmaceuticals International (“Buyer”), in connection with the disposition of outstanding shares of capital stock of Obagi Medical Products, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Corporation”), the Corporation provided the attached statement to Buyer on the date hereof. This notice is provided pursuant to the requirements of Treasury Regulations § 1.897-2(h)(2). A copy of a certificate, dated as of the date of this notice, furnished to Buyer by the Corporation under Treasury Regulations § 1.897-2(h) (the “FIRPTA Certificate”) is attached hereto.

The following information relates to the Corporation, which is providing this notice:


Name:		Obagi Medical Products, Inc.

		▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇
		Attention: General Counsel

The interest in question (capital stock of the Corporation) is not a “United States real property interest,” as that term is defined in § 897(c)(1)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) because the Corporation is not, and has not been within the five-year period preceding the date hereof, a “United States real property holding corporation” as that term is defined in § 897(c)(2) of the Code.

Under penalties of perjury, the undersigned, an officer of the Corporation, declares that the above notice (including the FIRPTA Certificate attached hereto) is correct to his knowledge and belief and further declares that he has the authority to sign this document on behalf of the Corporation.

Section 1445 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), provides that a transferee of a “United States real property interest” must withhold tax if the transferor is not a United States person. In order to confirm that Buyer, as transferee, is not required to withhold tax upon its acquisition of all the outstanding capital stock of the Corporation, the undersigned, an officer of the Corporation and solely in the capacity of an officer of the Corporation, hereby certifies as follows:

The stock of the Corporation does not constitute a “United States real property interest,” as that term is defined in Section 897(c)(1)(A) of the Code;

The determination in Paragraph 1 above is based on a determination by the Corporation that the Corporation is not, and has not been a “United States real property holding corporation,” as that term is defined in Section 897(c)(2) of the Code, during the five-year period ending on the date hereof;

The Corporation’s federal employer identification number is ▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇▇▇; and

The Corporation understands that this certification may be disclosed to the Internal Revenue Service by Buyer and that any false statement contained herein could be punished by fine, imprisonment or both.

Under penalties of perjury I declare that I have examined this certification and, to the best of my knowledge and belief, it is true, correct, and complete, and I further declare that I have the authority to sign this document on behalf of the Corporation.
