SECTION 2.03 Closing. The closing of the Merger will take place at 10:00 a.m. on a date to be specified by the parties, which shall be no later than the second Business Day after satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Article 7 (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the closing, but subject to the fulfillment or waiver of those conditions), at the offices of Fulbright & Jaworski L.L.P., 666 Fifth Avenue, New York, New York 10103, unless the parties agree to another time, date or place in writing.

SECTION 2.04 Effects of the Merger. From and after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall possess all the rights, powers, privileges and franchises and be subject to all of the obligations, liabilities, restrictions and disabilities of the Company and Purchaser, all as provided under applicable law.

SECTION 2.08 Company Action.

ARTICLE 3

EFFECT OF THE MERGER ON THE CAPITAL

STOCK OF THE CONSTITUENT CORPORATIONS;

EXCHANGE OF CERTIFICATES

SECTION 3.01 Conversion of Stock. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any other action on the part of the holder thereof:

(a) each share of the Company’s common stock, $.01 par value (the “Company Common Stock”), outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, except as otherwise provided in Section 3.01(b) or as provided in Section 3.03 with respect to shares as to which appraisal rights have been demanded, be converted into the right to receive: (i) an amount in cash equal to $1.00 per share (the “Cash Consideration”) and (ii) validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares of common stock, $0.001 par value, of Parent (“Parent Common Stock”) having an aggregate Value (as determined in accordance with the procedures set forth below) of $5.15 per share (the consideration to be paid pursuant to this clause (ii), the “Stock Consideration” and, together with the Cash Consideration, the “Merger Consideration”). For purposes of this Agreement, the “Value” of the Stock Consideration to be paid pursuant to clause (ii) in the preceding sentence shall be determined with reference to the average of the closing sales price for a share of Parent Common Stock on the Nasdaq Global Market (“Nasdaq”) for the five (5) consecutive trading days ending with, but including, the trading day that is three (3) trading days prior to the date of the Closing Date (the “Applicable Parent Stock Price”). Each holder of a certificate which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented any such shares of Company Common Stock (each a “Certificate”) shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the Merger Consideration to be paid in consideration therefor upon surrender of such Certificate in accordance with Section 3.02. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, if either (i) the tax opinion delivered to Parent referred to in Section 7.02(e) cannot be rendered (as reasonably determined by counsel to Parent) or (ii) the tax opinion delivered to the Company referred to in Section 7.03(e) cannot be rendered (as reasonably determined by counsel to the Company), in either case as a result of the Merger

potentially failing to satisfy the requirements of Section 368(a)(2)(E) of the Code, the Cash Consideration shall be reduced and the Stock Consideration shall be correspondingly increased to the minimum extent necessary to enable the relevant tax opinion or opinions, as the case may be, to be rendered;

(b) each share of Company Common Stock held by the Company as treasury stock or owned by Parent or any Subsidiary of Parent immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be canceled and no payment shall be made with respect thereto; and

(c) each share of common stock of Purchaser outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and become one share of common stock of the Surviving Corporation with the same rights and powers as the shares so converted and shall constitute the only outstanding shares of capital stock of the Surviving Corporation.

SECTION 3.02 Payment for Shares in the Merger.

(a) Prior to the mailing of the Prospectus/Proxy Statement, Parent shall appoint an agent (the “Paying Agent”) reasonably acceptable to the Company for the purpose of exchanging Certificates for the Merger Consideration. Prior to or at the Effective Time, Parent or Purchaser shall deposit with the Paying Agent, in trust for the benefit of the Company’s stockholders, cash in immediately available funds and Parent Common Stock in an amount sufficient to make payment of the aggregate Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 3.01 in exchange for all of the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock (such cash and Parent Common Stock being hereinafter referred to as the “Payment Fund”). The Payment Fund shall not be used for any other purpose. The Payment Fund shall be invested by the Paying Agent as directed by Parent or the Surviving Corporation pending payment thereof by the Paying Agent to the holders of the Certificates. Earnings from such investment shall be the sole and exclusive property of Parent, and no part of such earnings shall accrue to the benefit of holders of Certificates. For purposes of determining the amount of the Payment Fund to be made available, Parent shall assume that no holder of shares of Company Common Stock will demand appraisal rights with respect to such shares.

(b) As soon as practicable after the Effective Time, Parent will cause the Paying Agent to send to each holder of shares of Company Common Stock at the Effective Time (other than holders of Certificates referred to in Section 3.01(b) or Section 3.03) a letter of transmittal (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title shall pass, only upon proper delivery of the Certificates to the Paying Agent and will be in such form and have such other provisions as Parent and the Company reasonably specify) and instructions for use in effecting the surrender of Certificate(s) for payment therefor.

(c) Each holder of shares of Company Common Stock that have been converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration will be entitled to receive, upon surrender to the Paying Agent of a Certificate, together with a properly completed letter of transmittal, the Merger Consideration in respect of each share of Company Common Stock represented by such Certificate. Until so surrendered, each such Certificate shall represent after the Effective Time for all purposes only the right to receive such Merger Consideration. No interest will be paid or will accrue on the Merger Consideration payable upon surrender of any Certificate.

(d) If any portion of the Payment Fund is to be paid to a Person other than the Person in whose name a surrendered Certificate is registered, it shall be a condition to such payment that the Certificate so surrendered shall be properly endorsed or otherwise be in proper form for transfer and that the Person requesting such payment shall pay to the Paying Agent any transfer or other Taxes required as a result of such payment to a Person other than the registered holder of such Certificate or establish to the satisfaction of the Paying Agent that such Tax has been paid or is not payable. Each of the Surviving Corporation and Parent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable to any Person pursuant to this Article 3 such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under any provision of federal, state, local or foreign Tax law. If the Surviving Corporation or Parent, as the case may be, so withholds amounts, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of the shares of Company Common Stock in respect of which the Surviving Corporation or Parent, as the case may be, made such deduction and withholding.

(e) If any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by the Surviving Corporation, the posting by such Person of a bond, in such reasonable amount as the Surviving Corporation may direct, as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, the Paying Agent will pay, in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate, the Merger Consideration to be paid in respect of each share of Company Common Stock represented by such Certificate, as contemplated by this Article.

(f) After the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed and there shall be no further registration of transfers of shares of Company Common Stock. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates are presented to the Surviving Corporation, they shall be canceled and exchanged for the Merger Consideration to be paid in respect of each share of Company Common Stock represented by such Certificate, as provided for, and in accordance with the procedures set forth, in this Article 3.

(g) Any portion of the Payment Fund (and any interest or other income earned thereon) that remains unclaimed by the holders of shares of Company Common Stock one year after the Effective Time shall be returned to Parent, upon demand, and any such holder who has not exchanged each share of Company Common Stock for the Merger Consideration in accordance with this Section 3.02 prior to that time shall thereafter look only to the Surviving Corporation for payment of the Merger Consideration in respect of each such share without any interest thereon. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Paying Agent nor any party hereto shall be liable to any holder of shares of Company Common Stock for any amount paid to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar laws. The Surviving Corporation shall pay all charges and expenses of the Paying Agent.

(h) No fraction of a share of Parent Common Stock will be issued by virtue of the Merger, but in lieu thereof each holder of shares of Company Common Stock or Company

Stock Options who would otherwise be entitled to a fraction of a share of Parent Common Stock (after aggregating all fractional shares of Parent Common Stock that otherwise would be received by such holder) shall, upon surrender of such holder’s Certificate(s), be entitled to receive from Parent an amount of cash (rounded down to the nearest whole cent), without interest, equal to the product of: (i) such fraction, multiplied by (ii) the Applicable Parent Stock Price.

SECTION 3.03 Dissenting Shares. Each share of Company Common Stock which is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and which is held by a holder who has not voted such share in favor of the Merger, who shall have delivered a written demand for appraisal of such share in the manner provided by Delaware Law and who, as of the Effective Time, shall not have effectively withdrawn or lost such right to appraisal (each such share, a “Dissenting Share”) shall not be converted into a right to receive the Merger Consideration. The holders thereof shall be entitled only to such rights as are granted by Section 262 of the Delaware Law (“Section 262”). Each holder of Dissenting Shares who becomes entitled to payment for such shares pursuant to Section 262 shall receive payment therefor from the Surviving Corporation in accordance with Delaware Law; provided, however, that (i) if any such holder of Dissenting Shares shall have failed to establish his or her entitlement to appraisal rights as provided in Section 262, (ii) if any such holder of Dissenting Shares shall have effectively withdrawn his or her demand for appraisal of such shares or lost his or her right to appraisal and payment for shares under Section 262 or (iii) if neither any holder of Dissenting Shares nor the Surviving Corporation shall have filed a petition demanding a determination of the value of all Dissenting Shares within the time provided in Section 262 of the Delaware Law, such holder shall forfeit the right to appraisal of such shares and each such share shall be treated as if it had been converted, as of the Effective Time, into a right to receive the Merger Consideration, without interest thereon, from the Surviving Corporation. The Company shall give Parent prompt written notice of any demands received by the Company for appraisal of shares of Company Common Stock, and Parent shall have the right to participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demands. The Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of Parent, make any payment with respect to, or settle or offer to settle, any such demands. Any communication to be made by the Company to any holder of Company Common Stock with respect to such demands shall be submitted to Parent in advance and shall not be presented to any holder of Company Common Stock prior to the Company receiving Parent’s consent, which shall not be unreasonably delayed or withheld.

SECTION 3.04 Stock Options and other Equity Awards. Each Company Stock Option (as defined below) held by any Person other than a current employee of the Company or an employee of the Company who has terminated his or her employment within 90 days prior to the Effective Time (each such Company Stock Option, a “Non-Employee Option”) shall terminate in its entirety at the Effective Time, and the holder of each such Non-Employee Option (whether vested or not vested) shall be entitled to receive an amount (the “Option Cashout Amount”) equal to the product of the number of shares of Company Common Stock that is still issuable under such Non-Employee Option as of the Effective Time and the excess of (A) the Merger Consideration less (B) the per share option exercise price. Of the total Option Cashout Amount 16.26% will be payable in cash, and the balance will be payable in shares of Parent Common Stock having a value determined in the same manner prescribed by Section 3.01(a) for valuing the Parent Common Stock component of the Merger Consideration. Each Company Stock Option other than a

Non- Employee Option will be assumed by Parent in accordance with Section 6.13 (an “Assumed Option”). Each outstanding share of restricted stock held under a Company stock plan immediately prior to the Effective Time shall become fully vested and shall be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration at the Effective Time. For the purposes hereof, the term “Company Stock Option” means any option to purchase Company Common Stock that was granted under any of the Option Plans and that is unexpired, unexercised and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time.

SECTION 3.05 Adjustments. If, during the period between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time, any change in the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company or Parent shall occur by reason of any reclassification, recapitalization, stock split or combination, exchange or readjustment of shares, or stock dividend thereon (including any dividend or distribution of securities convertible into Parent Common Stock or Company Common Stock) or other similar event with a record date during such period, the aggregate Merger Consideration and any other amounts payable pursuant to this Agreement shall be appropriately adjusted.

ARTICLE 4

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE COMPANY

Except as set forth in the disclosure memorandum delivered by the Company to Parent on the date hereof and attached hereto (the “Company Disclosure Schedules”), the Company represents and warrants to Parent and Purchaser as follows:

SECTION 4.01 Organization and Qualification; Subsidiaries. The Company is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under Delaware Law and has the requisite power and authority to own, lease, and operate its properties and assets and to carry on its business as now being conducted. The Company is duly qualified or licensed to do business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the nature of its business or the ownership or leasing of its properties makes such qualification or licensing necessary, other than in such jurisdictions where the failure to be so qualified or licensed (individually or in the aggregate) would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on the Company. As used in this Agreement, “Material Adverse Effect” means, with respect to the Company or Parent, as applicable (the Company or Parent, as applicable, being referred to in this sentence as “such Person”), any change, effect, event, occurrence or state of facts (an “Effect”) (or any development that has had or is reasonably likely to have any Effect) that, (A) is materially adverse to the business, financial condition or results of operations of such Person and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or (B) which would prevent or materially delay the consummation of the Transactions; provided, however, that none of the following shall be deemed in themselves, either alone or in combination, to constitute, and none of the following shall be taken into account in determining whether there has been a Material Adverse Effect: (i) a change in the market price or trading volume of the capital stock of such Person after the date hereof, provided, however, that this clause (i) shall not exclude any underlying Effect which may have caused such change in stock price or trading volume; (ii) disruption in financial, credit, banking or securities markets (including any disruption thereof and any decline in the price of any security or market index) or any interest rate or exchange rate changes, generally which does not disproportionately affect such Person and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole; (iii) any Effect arising from or relating to general

business or economic conditions (including the business of such Person and its Subsidiaries) which does not disproportionately affect such Person and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, as compared with other participants in the industries in which such Person operates; (iv) any failure by such Person to meet internal forecasts and projections or securities analysts’ published revenue or earnings predictions for such Person for any period ending (or for which revenues or earnings are released) on or after the date of this Agreement; provided that this clause (iv) shall not exclude the revenues or earnings of such Person themselves or any Effect which may have affected such Person’s revenues or earnings; (v) any Effect attributable to the announcement or pendency of the Transactions (including any cancellations of or delays in customer agreements, any reduction in sales, any disruption in supplier, distributor, partner or similar relationships or any loss of employees), or resulting from or relating to compliance with the terms of, or the taking of any action required by, this Agreement; (vi) any Effect arising from or relating to any change after the date of this Agreement in accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) as consistently applied by Parent or the Company, as the case may be; (vii) any Effect resulting from or relating to national or international political or economic conditions, including the engagement by the United States in hostilities or the escalation thereof, whether or not pursuant to the declaration of a national emergency or war, or the occurrence of any military or terrorist attack anywhere in the world which does not disproportionately affect such Person and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole; (viii) any Effect arising from or relating to laws, rules, regulations, orders or other binding directives issued by any Governmental Entity after the date of this Agreement which does not disproportionately affect such Person and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole; and (ix) the taking of any action, or failure to take action, to which Parent or the Company, as the case may be, has expressly consented or approved in writing. The term “Subsidiary,” with respect to any Person, means any corporation or other legal entity of which such Person Controls (either alone or through or together with any other Subsidiary), directly or indirectly, more than 50% of the capital stock or other ownership interests the holders of which are generally entitled to vote for the election of the board of directors or other governing body of such corporation or other legal entity. The Company has made available to Parent complete and correct copies of its certificate of incorporation and by-laws, as amended to the date hereof. Except for ownership of less than 1% in any publicly traded company, the Company does not own, directly or indirectly, any capital stock or other ownership interest in any corporation, partnership, joint venture or other entity.

SECTION 4.02 Capitalization.

(a) The authorized capital stock of the Company consists of 40,000,000 shares of Company Common Stock and 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $.01 par value per share (“Company Preferred Stock”). As of December 6, 2007 there were outstanding: (1) 19,415,638 shares of Common Stock, none of which shares were held by the Company in its treasury; (2) stock options to purchase an aggregate of 3,082,806 shares of Company Common Stock; and (3) no shares of Company Preferred Stock. Since December 6, 2007, there have been no issuances of shares of the capital stock of the Company or any other securities of the Company except upon exercise of options outstanding on such date. All shares of Company Common Stock outstanding as of the date hereof have been duly authorized and validly issued and are fully paid and nonassessable and are not subject to preemptive rights. All shares of Company Common Stock issuable upon exercise of outstanding stock options have been duly authorized and, when issued in accordance with the terms thereof, will be validly issued and will be fully paid and nonassessable.

(b) Section 4.02(b) of the Company Disclosure Schedules sets forth a complete and accurate list, as of the close of business on December 6, 2007 of: (i) the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to outstanding options under each Option Plan and the number of shares of Company Common Stock available for grant under each Option Plan; and (ii) all outstanding Company Stock Options, indicating with respect to each such Company Stock Option the name of the holder thereof and whether such holder is an employee of the Company, the Company Stock Plan under which it was granted and whether such Company Stock Option is an “incentive stock option” (as defined in Section 422 of the Code) or a non-qualified stock option, the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Company Stock Option, the exercise price and the date of grant thereof, the applicable vesting schedule of such Company Stock Option and the extent to which such Company Stock Option was vested and exercisable as of December 6, 2007 and the expiration date of such Company Stock Option. For purposes of this Agreement, “Option Plans” means the Company’s 1998 Stock Incentive Plan, the Company’s 2000 Stock Incentive Plan, the Company’s 2005 Stock Incentive Plan. All grants of Company Stock Options were validly issued and properly approved in compliance with all applicable law and recorded on the Company Financials in accordance with GAAP. No Company Stock Option was granted with a per share exercise price lower than the fair market value of one share of Company Common Stock on the date of grant as determined in good faith by the Administrator of the Company Stock Plan (as defined in each such plan).

(c) Except as described in Section 4.02(a) and 4.02(b), there are no authorized, issued or outstanding (i) shares of capital stock or voting securities of the Company, (ii) securities of the Company convertible into or exchangeable for shares of capital stock or voting securities of the Company or (iii) options or other rights to acquire from the Company or other obligation of the Company to issue, any capital stock, voting securities or securities convertible into or exchangeable for capital stock or voting securities of the Company (the items in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) being referred to collectively as the “Company Securities”). There are no outstanding obligations of the Company to repurchase, redeem or otherwise acquire any of the Company Securities. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company has not adopted any anti-takeover, stockholder rights plans or agreements, registration rights agreements or other similar agreement with respect to any shares of capital stock of, or other equity or voting interests in the Company. Section 4.02(c) of the Company Disclosure Schedules sets forth a list of all: (i) stockholder agreements, voting trusts and other agreements or understandings to which the Company is a party or which are otherwise known to the Company and relating to the voting or disposition of any shares of the Company’s capital stock or the capital stock of any of its Subsidiaries; or (ii) granting to any Person or group of Persons the right to elect, or to designate or nominate for election, a director to the board of directors of the Company.

(d) There are no bonds, debentures, notes or other indebtedness of the Company (i) having the right to vote (or convertible into securities having the right to vote) on any matters on which stockholders of the Company may vote or (ii) the value of which is expressly based upon or derived from capital or voting stock of the Company.

(e) There are no voting trusts or other agreements or understandings to which the Company is a party with respect to the voting of the capital stock of the Company.

SECTION 4.03 Corporate Authorization; Voting Requirements.

(a) The Company has the requisite corporate power and authority to enter into this Agreement and, subject to the stockholders of the Company adopting this Agreement at the Company Stockholder Meeting, to consummate the Transactions. The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Company and the consummation by the Company of the Transactions have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Company, subject to adoption of this Agreement by the Company’s stockholders. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Company and (assuming that this Agreement constitutes a valid and binding agreement of Parent and Purchaser) constitutes a valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, except that such enforceability (i) may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium or other similar laws affecting or relating to the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and (ii) is subject to general principles of equity.

SECTION 6.02 Stockholder Meeting; Proxy Material. Subject to Section 6.04:

(a) Promptly after the Registration Statement is declared effective the Company shall take all necessary action in accordance with Delaware Law and its certificate of incorporation and bylaws to cause a meeting of its stockholders (the “Company Stockholder Meeting”) to be duly called and held as soon as reasonably practicable for the purpose of voting on the approval and adoption of this Agreement, and in any event, will use all commercially reasonable efforts (to the extent permissible under applicable law) to cause the Company Stockholder Meeting to be convened within 45 days of the mailing of the Prospectus/Proxy Statement. At the Company Stockholder Meeting, Parent shall cause all of the shares of Company Common Stock then owned Beneficially or of record by Parent, Purchaser or any of their Subsidiaries to be voted in favor of approval of this Agreement. The Company will use all commercially reasonable efforts to solicit from its stockholders proxies in favor of the adoption and approval of this Agreement and the approval of the Merger, and will take all other action necessary or advisable to secure the vote or consent of its stockholders required by Delaware Law to obtain such approvals. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, (i) the Company may adjourn or postpone the Company Stockholder Meeting after consultation with Parent to the extent necessary to ensure that any necessary supplement or amendment to the Prospectus/Proxy Statement is provided to its stockholders in advance of a vote on the Merger and this Agreement or, if as of the time for which the Company Stockholder Meeting is scheduled (as set forth in the Prospectus/Proxy Statement) there are insufficient shares of Company Common Stock represented (either in person or by proxy) to constitute a quorum necessary to conduct the business of the Company Stockholder Meeting; and (ii) upon Parent’s written notice (provided no later than the Business Day before the Company Stockholder Meeting and in any event at least 24 hours prior to the scheduled time of the Company Stockholder Meeting) that Parent has determined in good faith that the conditions to the respective parties’ obligations set forth in Article 7 are not expected to be satisfied or waived by the date of the Company Stockholder Meeting, the Company shall adjourn or postpone the Company Stockholder Meeting to the date notified by Parent in its reasonable discretion, but

prior to the Outside Date and to a date that would permit compliance with the requirements set forth below. The Company shall ensure that the Company Stockholder Meeting is called, noticed, convened, held and conducted, and that all proxies solicited by it in connection with the Company Stockholder Meeting are solicited in compliance with Delaware Law and its certificate of incorporation and bylaws.

(b) The Company and Parent will, as soon as reasonably practicable, prepare and file the preliminary Prospectus/Proxy Statement with the SEC, and Parent will prepare and file with the SEC the Registration Statement in which the Prospectus/Proxy Statement is to be included as a prospectus. The Company and Parent will respond to any comments from the SEC and will each use all commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Registration Statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act as promptly as reasonably practicable after such filing and to keep the Registration Statement effective as long as necessary to consummate the Merger and the transactions contemplated hereby. Each of the Company and Parent will notify the other promptly upon receipt of any comments from the SEC or its staff in connection with the filing of, or amendments or supplements to, the Registration Statement and/or the Prospectus/Proxy Statement. Whenever any event occurs which is required to be set forth in an amendment or supplement to the Prospectus/Proxy Statement and/or the Registration Statement, Parent or the Company, as the case may be, will promptly inform the other of such occurrence and cooperate in filing with the SEC or its staff, and/or mailing to stockholders of the Company, such amendment or supplement. Each party shall cooperate and provide the other (and its counsel) with a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on any amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement and Prospectus/Proxy Statement prior to filing such with the SEC, and will provide each other with a copy of all such filings made with the SEC. The Company will cause the Prospectus/Proxy Statement to be mailed to its stockholders at the earliest practicable time after the Registration Statement is declared effective by the SEC. Parent shall also use all commercially reasonable efforts to take any action required to be taken by it under any applicable state securities laws in connection with the issuance of Parent Common Stock in the Merger (including with respect to the Non-Employee Options set forth in Section 3.04) and the conversion of the Company Stock Options into options to acquire Parent Common Stock, and the Company shall furnish any information concerning the Company and the holders of the Company Common Stock and the Company Stock Options as may be reasonably requested in connection with any such action.

(c) None of the information supplied or to be supplied by or on behalf of the Company for inclusion or incorporation by reference in the Registration Statement will, at the time the Registration Statement becomes effective under the Securities Act, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading.

If at any time prior to the Company Stockholders Meeting any fact or event relating to the Company or any of its Affiliates

which should be set forth in an amendment or supplement to the Prospectus/Proxy Statement should be discovered by the Company or should occur, the Company shall, promptly after becoming aware thereof, inform Parent of such fact or event. Notwithstanding the forgoing, no representation, warranty or covenant is made by the Company with respect to statements made or incorporated by reference therein based on information supplied by Parent or Purchaser for inclusion or incorporation by reference therein. The Prospectus/Proxy Statement will comply as to form in all material respects with the requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder.

(d) None of the information supplied or to be supplied by or on behalf of Parent or Purchaser for inclusion or incorporation by reference in the Registration Statement will, at the time the Registration Statement becomes effective under the Securities Act, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading. None of the information supplied or to be supplied by or on behalf of Parent or Purchaser for inclusion or incorporation by reference in the Prospectus/Proxy Statement, will, at the time the Prospectus/Proxy Statement or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto is first mailed to the Company’s stockholders and at the time of the Company Stockholder Meeting, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading. If at any time prior to the Company Stockholder Meeting any fact or event relating to Parent or the Purchaser or any of their Affiliates which should be set forth in an amendment or supplement to the Prospectus/Proxy Statement should be discovered by Parent or should occur, Parent shall, promptly after becoming aware thereof, inform the Company of such fact or event. Notwithstanding the forgoing, no representation, warranty or covenant is made by Parent or the Purchaser with respect to statements made or incorporated by reference therein based on information supplied by the Company for inclusion or incorporation by reference therein. The Prospectus/Proxy Statement will comply as to form in all material respects with the requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder.

(e) Except as provided for in Section 6.04, the board of directors of the Company shall recommend that its stockholders vote in favor of adoption and approval of this Agreement and approval of the Merger at the Stockholders’ Meeting, (ii) the Prospectus/Proxy Statement shall include a statement to the effect that the board of directors of the Company has recommended that the Company’s stockholders vote in favor of adoption and approval of this Agreement and approval of the Merger at the Company Stockholder Meeting, and (iii) neither the board of directors of the Company nor any committee thereof shall withdraw, amend or modify, or propose or resolve to withdraw, amend or modify in a manner adverse to Parent, the recommendation of its board of directors that the Company’s stockholders vote in favor of adoption and approval of this Agreement and approval of the Merger.

financial advisors, auditors and other authorized representatives reasonable access to the offices, properties, books, contracts, commitments, management personnel and records of the Company, (ii) furnish promptly to Parent, its counsel, financial advisors, auditors and other authorized representatives (x) a copy of each report, schedule, registration statement and other document filed or received by it during such period pursuant to the requirements of federal or state securities laws and (y) such information relating to the Company’s business, finances, operations, properties, assets and personnel and all other information relating to the Company as such Persons may reasonably request and (iii) instruct the employees, counsel, financial advisors, auditors and other authorized representatives of the Company to cooperate with Parent in its investigation of the Company; provided that the foregoing shall not require the Company to permit any inspection or disclose any information that, in the reasonable judgment of the Company, would result in the disclosure of any trade secrets of third parties or otherwise privileged information so long as the existence of such trade secrets of third parties or privileged information and the lack of disclosure thereof is identified to Purchaser. Any investigation pursuant to this Section shall be conducted upon two Business Day’s prior written notice to the Company, during regular business hours and in such a manner so as not to interfere unreasonably with the conduct of the business of the Company. Except as required by law, Parent will hold, and will cause its officers, directors, employees, accountants, counsel, consultants, advisors and agents to hold, in confidence all documents and information concerning the Company furnished to Parent or its Affiliates in connection with the Transactions in accordance with the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement.

(b) From the date hereof until the Effective Time and subject to applicable law, the Parent and/or Purchaser shall give the Company, its counsel, financial advisors, auditors and other authorized representatives reasonable access to the management personnel of Parent.

(c) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement or the Confidentiality Agreement to the contrary, the parties (and each employee, representative or other agent of the parties) may disclose to any and all Persons, without limitation of any kind, the Tax treatment and any facts that may be relevant to the Tax structure of the Merger; provided, however, that no party (and no employee, representative or other agent thereof) shall disclose any other information that is not relevant to understanding the Tax treatment and Tax structure of the Merger (including the identity of any party and any information that could lead another to determine the identity of any party), or any other information to the extent that such disclosure could reasonably result in a violation of any federal or state securities law. The parties acknowledge and agree that this Section 6.03(c) shall be deemed an amendment to the Confidentiality Agreement pursuant to and in accordance with the last paragraph thereof.

SECTION 6.04 No Solicitation; Other Offers.

(a) The Company shall, and shall cause the directors, officers, employees, investment bankers, attorneys, accountants and other agents of the Company (such directors, officers, employees, investment bankers, attorneys, accountants and other agents, collectively, “Representatives”) to, cease immediately and cause to be terminated all discussions and negotiations, if any, with any Persons conducted prior to the date hereof with respect to any Acquisition Proposal. The Company shall not, and shall cause its Representatives to not: (i) solicit, initiate or knowingly encourage or facilitate (including by way of furnishing

information) the submission of any Acquisition Proposal or (ii) engage in discussions or negotiations or furnish to any Person any information with respect to an Acquisition Proposal or knowingly facilitate any effort or attempt to make an Acquisition Proposal.

(b) The Company will notify Parent promptly (but in no case later than 48 hours after actual receipt by an officer or director of the Company) of any Acquisition Proposal or any request for nonpublic information or inquiry that would reasonably be expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal and shall provide Parent the material terms and conditions of such Acquisition Proposal, request or inquiry, including the identity of the Person making such Acquisition Proposal, request or inquiry and a copy of all written materials provided by or on behalf of such Person in connection with the Acquisition Proposal, request or inquiry. The Company shall provide Parent with 48 hours prior notice (or such lesser prior notice as is provided to the members of its board of directors) of any meeting of its board of directors (or any committee thereof) at which its board of directors (or any committee thereof) is expected to consider any Acquisition Proposal or any such inquiry or to consider providing nonpublic information to any Person that would reasonably be expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal. The Company shall notify Parent, in writing, of any decision of its board of directors (or any committee thereof) as to whether to enter into discussions or negotiations concerning any Acquisition Proposal or to provide nonpublic information or data to any Person that would reasonably be expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal, which notice shall be given as promptly as practicable after such meeting (and in any event no later than 24 hours after such determination was reached and 24 hours prior to entering into any discussions or negotiations or providing any nonpublic information or data to any such Person). The Company shall keep Parent informed with prompt oral or written notice of the status and material terms of any such Acquisition Proposal, request or inquiry, setting forth all such information as reasonably necessary to keep Parent reasonably informed and shall promptly provide Parent a copy of all written materials subsequently provided to, by or on behalf of such Person in connection with such Acquisition Proposal, request or inquiry. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 6.04(a), to the extent necessary for the Company’s board of directors to comply with its fiduciary duties under applicable law, as determined in good faith by the Company’s board of directors after consultation with outside counsel, prior to the adoption of this Agreement by the stockholders of the Company, the Company may negotiate or otherwise engage in substantive discussions with, and furnish information to, any Person in response to an unsolicited, bona fide written Acquisition Proposal from a third party after the execution of this Agreement if (i) such Acquisition Proposal did not result in a breach of this Section 6.04 and the Company has complied in all material respects with Section 6.04 and (ii) the board of directors of the Company determines in good faith (after consultation with outside counsel and its financial advisor) that such Acquisition Proposal is, or could reasonably be expected to result in a Superior Proposal; provided, however, (A) the Company receives from such third party an executed confidentiality agreement containing customary limitations on the use and disclosure of all nonpublic written and oral information furnished to such third party on the Company’s behalf in substantially the form of the Confidentiality Agreement, (B) contemporaneously with furnishing any such nonpublic information to such third party, the Company furnishes such nonpublic information to Parent (to the extent such nonpublic information has not been previously so furnished) and (C) the Company shall not amend, or grant a waiver or release under, any standstill or similar agreement with respect to the any Company Common Stock. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall prevent the Company or its board of directors from complying with Rule 14d-9,

Item 1012(a) of Regulation M-A and Rule 14e-2 under the Exchange Act with respect to any Acquisition Proposal or making any disclosure to the Company’s stockholders required by applicable law or regulation.

(c) Except as permitted in this Section 6.04(c), the board of directors (or any committee thereof) of the Company shall not (i) withdraw or modify (in a manner adverse to Parent) its recommendation to the Company’s stockholders referred to in Section 2.08 and Section 6.02(e) hereof (the “Company Recommendation”) or take any action not explicitly permitted by this Agreement that would be inconsistent with its approval of the Merger, (ii) approve, recommend or take any position other than to recommend rejection (including modifying any recommendation of rejection) of, any Acquisition Proposal, (iii) cause or permit the Company to enter into (or publicly propose that the Company enter into) any letter of intent, memorandum of understanding, agreement in principle, acquisition agreement or similar agreement with respect to any Acquisition Proposal or (iv) approve or recommend any Acquisition Proposal or any agreement, understanding or arrangement relating to any Acquisition Proposal, except for a confidentiality agreement, waiver or release referred to in Section 6.04(b) entered into in the circumstances referred to in Section 6.04(b). Notwithstanding the foregoing, prior to the adoption of this Agreement and the Merger by the Company Stockholders, the board of directors of the Company shall be permitted (i) not to recommend to the Company’s stockholders approval and adoption of this Agreement and the Merger, (ii) to withdraw or modify (in a manner adverse to Parent) the Company Recommendation (a “Change in the Company Recommendation”), (iii) approve or recommend any Superior Proposal or (iv) terminate this Agreement and in connection therewith enter into an agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal, but only if (A) the Company has complied with the terms of this Section 6.04, (B) the Company has received an unsolicited Acquisition Proposal which the board of directors (or any committee thereof) determines in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisors, constitutes a Superior Proposal, (C) the board of directors (or any committee thereof) of the Company determines in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel and its financial advisors, that the failure to take such action could reasonably be deemed to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable law, (D) the Company has delivered a prior written notice advising Parent that it intends to take such action and (E) Parent does not make, within three Business Days after the receipt of such notice, a proposal that the board of directors (or any committee thereof) of the Company determines in good faith, after consultation with its financial adviser, is no less favorable to the stockholders of the Company than such Superior Proposal or that results in the board of directors (or any committee thereof) of the Company no longer being required to make a Change in the Company Recommendation in order to comply with its fiduciary obligations under applicable law. The Company agrees that, during the three Business Day period prior to effecting a Change in the Company Recommendation or terminating this Agreement to enter into an acquisition agreement resulting from such Superior Proposal, the Company and its Representatives shall negotiate in good faith with Parent and its Representatives regarding any revisions to the terms of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement that are proposed by Parent.

(d) For purposes of this Agreement:

(i) “Acquisition Proposal” means (1) any offer or proposal (A) relating to a merger, reorganization, consolidation, dissolution, sale of substantial assets, tender

offer, exchange offer, recapitalization, liquidation, joint venture, share exchange, business combination, or other similar transaction involving the Company, (B) to acquire in any manner, directly or indirectly, securities representing more than 20% of the voting power of the Company, (C) for the issuance by the Company of 20% or more of its equity securities or (D) to acquire, directly or indirectly, in a single transaction or a series of related transactions assets of the Company having a fair market value equal to 20% or more of the Company’s consolidate assets, in each case other than the Transactions or (2) any inquiry that might reasonably be expected to lead to, any proposal or offer described in the foregoing clause (1).

(ii) “Superior Proposal” means an unsolicited, bona fide written Acquisition Proposal which the board of directors (or any committee thereof) of the Company determines in good faith (after consultation outside legal counsel and with a financial advisor of nationally recognized reputation and taking into account all the terms and conditions of the Acquisition Proposal) is (i) more favorable to the Company and its stockholders (in their capacities as stockholders) from a financial point of view than the Transactions and (ii) reasonably capable of being completed on the terms proposed, including a conclusion that its financing, to the extent required, is then committed or is, in the good faith judgment of the board of directors (or a committee thereof), reasonably capable of being financed on a timely basis by the Person making such Acquisition Proposal, provided that each reference to 20% in the definition of “Acquisition Proposal” shall be replaced with “50%” for purposes hereof.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the obligation of the Company to call, give notice of, convene and hold the Company Stockholder Meeting shall not be limited or otherwise affected by the commencement, disclosure, announcement or submission to it of any Acquisition Proposal, or by any Change in the Company Recommendation.

(f) The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that the provisions of this Section 6.04 were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed by the parties hereto that Parent shall be entitled to an immediate injunction or injunctions, without the necessity of proving the inadequacy of money damages as a remedy and without the necessity of posting any bond or other security, to prevent breaches of the provisions of this Section 6.04 and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof in any court of the United States or any state having jurisdiction, this being in addition to any other remedy to which Parent may be entitled at law or in equity.

SECTION 6.05 Reasonable Best Efforts; Notification.

(a) Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, each of the parties agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, and to assist and cooperate with the other parties in doing, all things necessary, proper or advisable to consummate and make effective, as promptly as practicable, the Merger and the other Transactions, including (i) the obtaining of all necessary actions or nonactions, waivers, consents and approvals from Governmental Entities and the making of all necessary registrations and filings (including filings with Governmental Entities, if any) and the taking of all reasonable steps as may be necessary to avoid an action or proceeding

by any Governmental Entity, (ii) the obtaining of all necessary consents, approvals or waivers from third parties, (iii) the defending of any lawsuits or other legal proceedings, whether judicial or administrative, challenging this Agreement or the consummation of the Transactions, including, without limitation, seeking to have any stay or temporary restraining order entered by any court or other Governmental Entity vacated or reversed and (iv) the execution and delivery of any additional instruments necessary to consummate the Transactions and to fully carry out the purposes of this Agreement. In connection with and without limiting the foregoing, the Company and its board of directors (or any committee thereof) shall, if any state takeover statute or similar statute or regulation is or becomes applicable to the Merger, this Agreement or the other Transactions, use their best efforts to ensure that the Merger and the other Transactions may be consummated as promptly as practicable on the terms contemplated by this Agreement and otherwise to minimize the effect of such statute or regulation on the Merger and the other Transactions. Nothing herein shall limit or affect the Company’s taking actions specifically permitted by Section 6.04.

(b) In furtherance of and without limiting the above provisions, each of the Company and Parent shall, as promptly as practicable following the execution and delivery of this Agreement (but in no event more than the tenth Business Day thereafter), file with the United States Federal Trade Commission (the “FTC”) and the United States Department of Justice (the “DOJ”) the notification and report form required for the Transactions pursuant to the HSR Act. Any such notification and report form shall be in substantial compliance with the requirements of the HSR Act. Each of the Company and Parent shall furnish to the other such necessary information and reasonable assistance as the other may request in connection with its preparation of any filing or submission which is necessary under the HSR Act. The Company and Parent shall keep each other apprised of the status of any communications with, and any inquiries or requests for additional information from, the FTC or the DOJ, and shall comply promptly with any such inquiry or request. Parent shall take any and all steps necessary to avoid or eliminate each and every impediment under any antitrust, competition or trade regulation law that may be asserted by any Governmental Entity with respect to the Merger so as to enable the closing to occur as soon as reasonably possible, including, without limitation, proposing, negotiating, committing to and effecting, by consent decree, hold separate order or otherwise, the sale, divestiture or disposition of such assets or businesses of Parent or any of its Subsidiaries as may be required in order to avoid the entry of, or to effect the dissolution of, any injunction, temporary restraining order or other order in any suit or proceeding, which would otherwise have the effect of preventing or delaying the closing.

(c) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, in furtherance and not in limitation of the covenants of the parties contained in Sections 6.05(a) and 6.05(b), if any administrative or judicial action or proceeding, including any proceeding by a private party, is instituted (or threatened to be instituted) challenging any of the Transactions as violative of any applicable law, each of the parties shall cooperate in all respects with each other and shall use its reasonable best efforts in order to contest and resist any such action or proceeding and to have vacated, lifted, reversed or overturned any decree, judgment, injunction or other order, whether temporary, preliminary or permanent, that is in effect and that prohibits, prevents or restricts consummation of the Transactions.

(d) If any objections are asserted with respect to the Transactions under any applicable law or if any suit is instituted by any Governmental Entity or any private party challenging any of the Transactions as violative of any applicable law, each of the Company and Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts to resolve any such objections or challenges such Governmental Entity or private party may have to such Transactions so as to permit consummation of the Transactions.

(e) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to require Parent or any Subsidiary or affiliate thereof to agree to any Action of Divestiture. The Company shall not, without the prior written consent of Parent, take or agree to take any Action of Divestiture. For purposes of this Agreement, an “Action of Divestiture” shall mean (i) any license, sale or other disposition or holding separate (through establishment of a trust or otherwise) of any shares of capital stock or of any business, assets or properties of Parent, its subsidiaries or affiliates, or of the Company that are material to Parent or the Company, (ii) the imposition of any material limitation on the ability of Parent, its Subsidiaries or affiliates, or the Company to conduct their respective businesses or own any capital stock or assets or to acquire, hold or exercise full rights of ownership of their respective businesses and, in the case of Parent, the businesses of the Company or (iii) the imposition of any material impediment on Parent, its Subsidiaries or affiliates, or the Company under any statute, rule, regulation, executive order, decree, order or other legal restraint governing competition, monopolies or restrictive trade practices.

SECTION 6.06 Indemnification and Insurance.

(a) After the Effective Time through the sixth anniversary of the date on which the Effective Time occurs, Parent will cause the Surviving Corporation to honor and fulfill in all material respects the obligations of the Company to any indemnification agreement between the Company and any directors and officers (or former directors or officers) of the Company (the “Indemnified Parties”) as set forth in Section 6.06(a) of the Company Disclosure Schedules, and under any applicable laws and under the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Company as in effect on the date hereof, subject to applicable law.

(b) Parent shall cause the certificate of incorporation and by-laws of the Surviving Corporation to include provisions no less favorable with respect to indemnification, advancement of expenses and exculpation of present and former directors and officers of the Company that are presently set forth in the Company’s certificate of incorporation and bylaws, and shall not permit for a period of six (6) years the amendment of such provisions in any manner adverse to the individuals who, at or prior to the Effective Time, were officers or directors of the Company, unless such amendment is required by applicable law.

(c) The Surviving Corporation shall pay all expenses, including reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses, that may be incurred by the Persons referred to in this Section 6.06 in enforcing the indemnity and other obligations provided for in this Section 6.06; provided that the Indemnified Party must provide a written undertaking to repay all expenses if it is finally judicially determined that such Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification.

(d) For six years after the Effective Time (and thereafter until the final disposition, including appeals, of any claim that has been asserted or any suit, action, proceeding or investigation that has been commenced within such six-year period), Parent shall maintain, or cause the Surviving Corporation to maintain, policies of directors’ and officers’ liability in an amount and scope no less favorable to those currently maintained by the Company for the benefit of directors and officers of the Company with respect to matters occurring prior to and including the Effective Time (except to the extent any provisions in such insurance are no longer generally available in the market); provided, that in no event shall the Surviving Corporation be required to expend in any one year an amount in excess of 250% of the aggregate annual premiums paid by the Company (or the Surviving Corporation, as applicable) during the immediately preceding year for such insurance; and provided, further, that if the aggregate annual premiums of such insurance coverage exceed such amount, the Surviving Corporation shall be obligated to obtain a policy or policies with the greatest coverage available for an aggregate cost not exceeding such amount; provided further, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, Parent may satisfy its obligations under this Section 6.06(d) by purchasing a “tail” policy under the Company’s existing directors’ and officers’ insurance policy which (i) has an effective term of six years from the Effective Time, (ii) covers those persons who are currently covered by the Company’s directors’ and officers’ insurance policy in effect as of the date hereof for actions and omissions occurring on or prior to the Effective Time, and (iii) contains terms and conditions that are, in the aggregate no less favorable to the insured than those of the Company’s directors’ and officers’ insurance policy in effect as of the date hereof.

(e) In the event Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of their successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then and in each such case, proper provisions shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Parent or the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, shall assume the obligations of Parent or the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, set forth in this Section 6.06.

(f) This Section 6.06 shall survive the consummation of the Merger at the Effective Time, is intended to benefit the Company, Parent, the Surviving Corporation and the Indemnified Parties, and shall be binding on all successors and assigns of Parent and the Surviving Corporation. Parent shall, subject to applicable law, cause the Surviving Corporation to perform all of the obligations of the Surviving Corporation under this Section 6.06.

SECTION 6.07 Employee Benefits.

(a) For at least one year after the Effective Time (but only so long as the applicable employees remain employed with the Surviving Corporation), Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries to provide employees of the Company who shall have been an employee of the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time other than those covered by Company collective bargaining agreements (“Continuing Employees”) (i) the same level of base salary or wages as in effect at the Effective Time; and (ii) base salary or wages and employee benefit plans, programs, contracts and arrangements (including bonus or commission plans) that are no less favorable, in the aggregate, than at Parent’s election, either (i) similar employee benefit plans, programs, contracts and arrangements provided by the Company to

Company Employees immediately prior to the Effective Time or (ii) similar employee benefit plans, programs, contracts and arrangements, provided by Parent to similarly situated employees of Parent. From and following the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to give each Continuing Employee, full credit for prior service with the Company to the extent such service was credited under the Employee Plans as of the Effective Time, for purposes of (i) eligibility and vesting under any comparable Surviving Corporation Employee Plans (as defined below) and (ii) determination of benefit levels under any comparable Surviving Corporation Employee Plan or policy relating to vacation, sick time and any other paid time off program or severance, in each case for which the Continuing Employee is otherwise eligible and in which the Continuing Employee is offered participation, except where such credit would result in a duplication of benefits. In addition, Parent shall (x) waive, or cause to be waived, any limitations on benefits relating to pre-existing conditions to the same extent such limitations have been waived under any Employee Plan as of the Effective Time for the applicable Continuing Employee and (y) recognize for purposes of annual deductible and out-of-pocket limits payable during the plan year in which the Effective Date occurs under the Employee Plans that are medical and dental plans and in which the applicable Continuing Employee participates, deductible and out-of-pocket expenses paid by such Continuing Employee in the plan year in which the Effective Time occurs. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Surviving Corporation Employee Plan” means, to the extent applicable, any “employee pension benefit plan” (as defined in Section 3(2) of ERISA), any “employee welfare benefit plan” (as defined in Section 3(1) of ERISA), and any other plan, agreement or arrangement providing insurance coverage, severance benefits, disability benefits, or vacation pay, for the benefit of, or relating to, any Continuing Employee.

(b) Without limiting any of its other obligations hereunder, the Surviving Corporation shall honor, in accordance with their terms, the Employee Plans that are employment, severance or termination Contracts disclosed in Section 4.11(a) of the Company Disclosure Schedules as in effect as of the date hereof and shall assume the obligations of the Company under such contracts.

(c) Effective as of no later than the day immediately preceding the Closing Date, each of the Company and any ERISA Affiliate shall terminate any and all Company Employee Plans intended to include a Code Section 401(k) arrangement other than a plan in which employees covered by a collective bargaining agreement participate (each a “401(k) Plan”) unless Parent provides written notice to the Company that any such 401(k) plan shall not be terminated. Unless, no later than ten Business Days prior to the Closing Date, Parent provides such written notice to the Company, then the Company shall provide Parent with evidence that such 401(k) Plan(s) have been terminated (effective as of no later than the day immediately preceding the Closing Date) pursuant to resolutions of the board of directors of the Company or such ERISA Affiliate, as the case may be. Parent shall take all steps necessary to permit each Employee who has received an eligible rollover distribution (as defined in Section 402(c)(4) of the Code) from each 401(k) Plan, if any, to roll such eligible rollover distribution as part of any lump sum distribution to the extent permitted by each 401(k) Plan into an account under Parent’s 401(k) plan (the “Parent’s 401(k) Plan”), to the extent permitted by Parent’s 401(k) Plan. If the Company’s 401(k) Plan is terminated as aforesaid, Parent will take or cause the Surviving Corporation to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to enable the employee loan balances under the Company’s 401(k) Plan to be transferred to separate accounts

under a 401(k) plan of Parent or the Surviving Corporation or otherwise be administered from and after the Effective Time as if the Company’s 401(k) Plan had not been terminated, to the extent permitted by the applicable 401(k) plan of Parent or the Surviving Corporation.

(d) Notwithstanding the above, nothing in this Agreement shall (i) alter the employment status of employees who are employed on an at-will basis, (ii) require the Surviving Corporation or its Subsidiaries to continue the employment of any person for any specific period following the Closing Date or (iii) prevent Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of their Subsidiaries from amending or terminating any Employee Plan.

SECTION 6.08 Public Announcements. Parent and the Company will not issue, any press release or making any public statement (including any broadly issued statement or announcement to employees) with respect to this Agreement or the Transactions without the prior written consent of the other party and, except as may be required by applicable law, this Agreement or any listing agreement with any national securities exchange.

SECTION 6.09 Parent Vote. Parent shall vote (or consent with respect to) or cause to be voted (or a consent to be given with respect to) any shares of common stock of Purchaser beneficially owned by it or any of its Subsidiaries or with respect to which it or any of its Subsidiaries has the power (by agreement, proxy or otherwise) to cause to be voted (or to provide a consent), in favor of the approval of this Agreement at any meeting of stockholders of the Company or Purchaser, respectively, at which this Agreement shall be submitted for approval and at all adjournments or postponements thereof (or, if applicable, by any action of stockholders of either the Company or Purchaser by consent in lieu of a meeting).

SECTION 6.10 Section 16(b). Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall take all steps reasonably necessary to cause the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and any other dispositions of equity securities of the Company (including derivative securities) in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement by each individual who is a director or executive officer of the Company to be exempt under Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act.

SECTION 6.11 Further Assurances. At and after the Effective Time, the officers and directors of the Surviving Corporation will be authorized to execute and deliver, in the name and on behalf of the Company or Purchaser, any deeds, bills of sale, assignments or assurances and to take and do, in the name and on behalf of the Company or Purchaser, any other actions and things to vest, perfect or confirm of record or otherwise in the Surviving Corporation any and all right, title and interest in, to and under any of the rights, properties or assets of the Company acquired or to be acquired by the Surviving Corporation as a result of, or in connection with, the Merger.

SECTION 6.12 Notices of Certain Events. Each of the Company and Parent shall promptly notify the other of:

(a) any representation or warranty made by it in this Agreement becoming untrue or inaccurate in any material respect;

(b) the failure by it to comply with or satisfy in any material respect any covenant, condition or agreement to be complied with or satisfied by it under this Agreement;

(c) the Company’s obtaining Knowledge of a material breach by Parent or Purchaser, or Parent’s or Purchaser’s obtaining Knowledge of a material breach by the Company, of their respective representations, warranties or covenants hereunder of which the breaching party has not already given notice pursuant to clauses (a) or (b) above;

(d) any notice or other communication from any Person alleging that the consent of such Person is or may be required in connection with the Transactions;

(e) any notice or other communication from any Governmental Entity in connection with the Transactions; or

(f) any actions, suits, claims, investigations, orders, decrees, complaints or proceedings commenced or, to its Knowledge, threatened against, relating to or involving or otherwise affecting the Company, Parent or any of their respective Subsidiaries that relate to the consummation of the Transactions;

provided, however, that the delivery of any notice pursuant to this Section 6.12 (i) shall not limit or otherwise affect the remedies available hereunder to the party receiving such notice and (ii) shall not be deemed an admission on the part of the party giving such notice that the occurrence of any such event constitutes or would reasonably be likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.

SECTION 6.13 Company Stock Options.

(a) At the Effective Time, in accordance with Section 3.04, each Assumed Option shall be assumed by Parent. As of the Effective Time, each such Assumed Option shall cease to represent a right to acquire shares of Company Common Stock and shall be converted automatically into an option to purchase shares of Parent Common Stock in an amount, at an exercise price and subject to such terms and conditions determined as provided below.

(i) Each Assumed Option so assumed by Parent shall be subject to, and exercisable and vested upon, the same terms and conditions as under the Option Plans and the applicable option and other related agreements issued thereunder, except that (A) each Assumed Option shall be exercisable for, and represent the right to acquire, that number of shares of Parent Common Stock (rounded down to the nearest whole share) equal to (I) the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Company Stock Option immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by (II) the Option Exchange Ratio; and (B) the exercise price per share of Parent Common Stock subject to each Assumed Option shall be an amount equal to (I) the exercise price per share of Company Common Stock subject to such Company Stock Option in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time divided by (II) the Option Exchange Ratio (rounded up to the nearest whole cent). For purposes of this Agreement, the “Option Exchange Ratio” shall be equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (A) the Merger Consideration by (B) the Applicable Parent Stock Price. With respect to the Assumed Options the Company will not take any action to accelerate the vesting of any such options beyond what is contractually provided as of the date of this Agreement, and will take any action that it is permitted to take so that the vesting of such options is not accelerated.

(ii) The conversion of Assumed Options provided for in this Section 6.13(a) shall be effected in a manner intended to comply with Section 409A of the Code, and,

with respect to any options that are intended to be “incentive stock options” (as defined in Section 422 of the Code), shall be effected in a manner consistent with Section 424(a) of the Code.

(iii) Parent shall file a registration statement on Form S-8 or such other available form for the shares of Parent Common Stock issuable with respect to Assumed Options as soon as reasonably practicable and in no event later than ten Business Days after the Effective Time, and shall exercise reasonable efforts to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statements for so long as any of such converted Assumed Options remain outstanding.

(b) At the Effective Time, each Company Stock Option other than an Assumed Option, whether or not then exercisable or vested, shall be terminated in accordance with Section 3.04 by the Company.

(c) With respect to matters described in Section 6.13(a) - (b) above, the Company will use all reasonable efforts to consult with Parent (and consider in good faith the advice of Parent) prior to sending any notices or other communication materials to its employees.

(d) The Registration Statement shall cover the issuance of shares of Parent Common Stock issuable pursuant to Section 3.04 to holders of Non-Employee Options, which shares of Parent Common Stock shall be issued in the same manner as provided for hereunder for the issuance of the Stock Consideration. Parent shall use reasonable efforts to consult with the holders of Non-Employee Options to implement a mechanism to allow for the resale of such shares of Parent Common Stock immediately following the Closing, subject to applicable law.

SECTION 6.14 Third Party Consents. As soon as practicable following the date hereof, the Company will use all commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such consents, waivers and approvals under any of its Contracts set forth in Section 6.14 of the Company Disclosure Schedules. In connection with seeking such consents, waivers and approvals, the Company shall keep Parent informed of all material developments. Such consents, waivers and approvals shall be in a form reasonably acceptable to Parent. In the event the Merger does not close for any reason, neither Parent nor Purchaser shall have any liability to the Company, its stockholders or any other Person for any costs, claims, liabilities or damages resulting from the Company seeking to obtain such consents, waivers and approvals. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the failure to obtain any consents, waivers or approvals pursuant to this Section 6.14 shall not be deemed a failure of any conditions to the obligations of Parent or Purchaser under Section 7.02(a).

SECTION 6.15 145 Affiliates. As soon as practicable after the date hereof, and in no event less than ten (10) days prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall deliver to Parent a letter identifying all Persons who are, at the time this Agreement is submitted for adoption by the stockholders of the Company, “affiliates” of the Company for purposes of Rule 145 under the Securities Act. The Company shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to cause each such Person to deliver to Parent at least ten (10) days prior to the Closing Date a written agreement substantially in the form attached as Exhibit B hereto.

SECTION 6.16 Certain Tax Matters.

(a) Parent and the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to cause the Merger to qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code and to obtain the Tax opinions set forth in Sections 7.02(e) and 7.03(e) hereof. This Agreement is intended to constitute a “plan of reorganization” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.368-2(g).

(b) Officers of Parent and the Company shall execute and deliver to Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP, counsel to Parent, and Fulbright & Jaworski L.L.P., counsel to the Company, certificates containing appropriate representations at such time or times as may be reasonably requested by such law firms, including the Effective Time, in connection with their respective deliveries of opinions with respect to the Tax treatment of the Merger. Each of Parent, Purchaser or the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts not to take or cause to be taken any action which would cause to be untrue (or fail to take or cause not to be taken any action which would cause to be untrue) any of the certifications and representations included in the certificates described in this Section 6.16(b).

(c) The Company and Parent shall cooperate in the preparation, execution and filing of all Tax Returns, questionnaires, applications or other documents regarding any real property transfer or gains, sales, use, transfer, value added, stock transfer and stamp taxes, any transfer, recording, registration and other fees and any similar Taxes which become payable in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement that are required or permitted to be filed on or before the Effective Time. Each of Parent and the Company shall pay any such Taxes or fees imposed on it by any Governmental Entity (or for which its stockholders are primarily liable), which becomes payable in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

SECTION 6.17 ISRA. The Company shall seek a determination from the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (“NJDEP”) that the Industrial Site Recovery Act, N.J.S.A. 13:1K-6, et seq. (“ISRA”), is not applicable to the transaction contemplated by this Agreement. The Company shall allow Parent and its representatives to review and comment on any filings made in connection with this request; provided, however, that if Parent fails to comment within a time frame reasonably established by the Company, the requirement to allow Parent to review and comment shall be deemed met. If the NJDEP determines that ISRA is applicable to this transaction, the Company shall ensure that it obtains any approval necessary in order to comply with the requirements of ISRA in connection with the closing of the transaction.

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties to this Agreement, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:

1. Agreement to Vote Shares. Prior to the Termination Date, at every meeting of the stockholders of the Company (or of the holders of any class of stock of the Company’s capital stock) called with respect to any of the following, and at every adjournment or postponement thereof, with respect to any of the following, the Stockholder shall vote with respect to the Subject Securities: (a) in favor of adoption of the Merger Agreement and approval of the Merger and the other actions contemplated by the Merger Agreement or would reasonably be expected to facilitate the Merger Agreement, the Merger and the other actions and transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, this Agreement or the Proxy (the “Merger Proposals”), (b) against any Acquisition Proposal between the Company and any Person other than Parent or Purchaser and (c) against any other action, agreement or proposal that could reasonably be expected to result in any of the conditions to the consummation of the Merger under the Merger Agreement not being fulfilled or which could reasonably be expected to otherwise impede, interfere with, delay, postpone or materially adversely affect the Merger or the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement.

2. Irrevocable Proxy. Concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, the Stockholder agrees to deliver to Parent a proxy in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Proxy”), which is coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable to the fullest extent permitted by law, with respect to the shares referred to therein, which Proxy shall remain in effect until the Termination Date.

During the period from the date of this Agreement through the Termination Date, the Stockholder shall not: (a) grant any proxy or power of attorney, deposit any of the Subject Securities into a voting trust or enter into a voting agreement or similar arrangement with respect to the Subject Securities except as provided in this Agreement; or (b) take any other action that would make any representation or warranty of the Stockholder contained herein untrue or incorrect or have the effect of preventing or disabling the Stockholder from performing its obligations under this Agreement, the Merger Agreement and the other documents contemplated hereby and thereby respectively.

(c) Permitted Transfers. Section 3(a) shall not prohibit a Transfer of Subject Securities by the Stockholder upon the death of the Stockholder; provided, however, that a Transfer referred to in this sentence shall be permitted only if, as a precondition to such Transfer, the transferee (i) agrees in a writing, reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to Parent, to be bound by the terms of this Agreement and refrain from any and all Transfers of the Subject Securities, and (ii) delivers a Proxy to Parent in substantially the form of Exhibit A.

4. Representations, Warranties and Covenants of Stockholder. The Stockholder hereby represents and warrants to Parent as follows:

This Agreement and the Proxy have been duly and validly executed and delivered by the Stockholder and constitute valid and binding agreements or instruments of the Stockholder enforceable in accordance with their terms, except as the same may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws now or hereafter in effect relating to creditors’ rights generally and subject to general principles of equity.

(b) No Conflict. The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Proxy by the Stockholder do not, and the performance of this Agreement and the Proxy by the Stockholder will not conflict with, violate or result in a breach of or constitute (with or without notice or the passage of time) a default (or give rise to any third party right of termination, cancellation,

material modification or acceleration) under (i) the organizational documents of the Stockholder, if any, (ii) any law, rule, regulation, order, decree or judgment applicable to the Stockholder, the Subject Securities held by the Stockholder or any of the Stockholder’s other properties or assets or (iii) any contract, indenture, guarantee, lease, mortgage, license or other agreement, instrument, obligation or undertaking of any kind to which Stockholder is a party or by which the Stockholder or any of its properties or assets are bound.

Parent shall not be deemed to have waived any claim available to Parent arising out of this Agreement, or any power, right, privilege or remedy of Parent under this Agreement, unless the waiver of such claim, power, right, privilege or remedy is expressly set forth in a written instrument duly executed and delivered on behalf of Parent; and any such waiver shall not be applicable or have any effect except in the specific instance in which it is given. All rights and remedies existing under this Agreement are cumulative to, and not exclusive to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies otherwise available.

(h) Severability. In the event that any provision of this Agreement or the application thereof, becomes or is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, void or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement will continue in full force and effect and the application of such provision to other Persons or circumstances will be interpreted so as reasonably to effect the intent of the parties hereto. The parties hereto further agree to replace such void or unenforceable provision of this Agreement with a valid and enforceable provision that will achieve, to the extent possible, the economic, business and other purposes of such void or unenforceable provision.

(i) Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF PARENT, PURCHASER AND THE STOCKHOLDER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVE AND COVENANT THAT THEY WILL NOT ASSERT THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER BASED IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALINGS, STATEMENT OR ACTION RELATED HERETO OR THERETO.

FORM OF 145 AFFILIATE AGREEMENTS

______________, 2008

JDS Uniphase Corporation

430 North McCarthy Boulevard

Milpitas, CA 95035

Attention: Chief Legal Officer

Telecopy: (408) ###-###-####

Ladies and Gentlemen:

I have been advised that I may be deemed to be an “affiliate” of American Bank Note Holographics, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), as that term is defined in Rule 145 promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). I understand that pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of December 10, 2007 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Company, JDS Uniphase Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Delaware”), and Patriot Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of JDSU (“Purchaser”), the Company plans to merge with and into Purchaser (the “Merger”), with the Company being the surviving company. Capitalized terms used herein but not otherwise defined shall have the meanings given to such terms in the Merger Agreement.

I further understand that, as a result of the Merger, in exchange for shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company (“Company Common Stock”) I will receive common stock, par value $0.001 per share of JDSU (“JDSU Common Stock”).

If in fact I were an affiliate under the Securities Act, my ability to sell, assign or transfer the JDSU Common Stock received by me in exchange for any shares of Company Common Stock pursuant to the Merger may be restricted unless such transaction is registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available. I have read this letter and reviewed the Merger Agreement and discussed their requirements and other applicable limitations upon my ability to sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of JDSU Common Stock, including information with respect to the applicability to the sale of such securities of Rules 144 and 145(d) promulgated under the Securities Act, to the extent I felt necessary with my counsel or counsel for the Company. I understand that JDSU will not be required to maintain the effectiveness of any registration statement under the Securities Act for purposes of resale of JDSU Common Stock by me.

I represent, warrant and covenant with and to JDSU that in the event I receive any JDSU Common Stock as a result of the Merger, I shall not effect any sale, transfer, or other disposition of such JDSU Common Stock unless: (i) such sale, transfer or other disposition has been registered under the Securities Act, (ii) such sale, transfer or other disposition is made in conformity with the provisions of Rule 145 under the Securities Act (as such rule may be amended from time to time), or (iii) in the opinion of counsel in form and substance reasonably

satisfactory to JDSU, or under a “no-action” letter or interpretive letter from the staff of the SEC, such sale, transfer or other disposition will not violate or is otherwise exempt from registration under the Securities Act.

In the event of a sale or other disposition by me of JDSU Common Stock received by me in the Merger pursuant to Rule 145, I will supply JDSU with evidence of compliance with such Rule 145, in the form of a letter in the form of Annex I hereto or the opinion of counsel or no-action letter referred to above. I understand that JDSU may instruct its transfer agent to withhold the transfer of any JDSU Common Stock disposed of by the undersigned, but that (provided such transfer is not prohibited by any other provision of this letter agreement) upon receipt of such evidence of compliance the transfer agent shall effectuate the transfer of the JDSU Common Stock sold as indicated in the letter.

I understand that JDSU is under no obligation to register the sale, transfer or other disposition of JDSU Common Stock by me or on my behalf under the Securities Act or, other than as set forth below, to take any other action necessary in order to make compliance with an exemption from such registration available.

I acknowledge and agree that, unless the transfer by me of the JDSU Common Stock issued to me as a result of the Merger has been registered under the Securities Act or such transfer is made in conformity with the provisions of Rule 145(d) under the Securities Act (as such rule may be amended from time to time), the following legend may be placed on certificates, if any, representing such shares of JDSU Common Stock:

“The shares represented by this certificate were issued in a transaction to which Rule 145 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), applies. The shares may not be sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of except in compliance with the requirements of rule 145 or pursuant to an effective registration statement under, or in accordance with an exemption from the registration requirements of, the Act.”

It is understood and agreed that the legend set forth above shall be removed by delivery of substitute certificates without such legend and/or any stop transfer instructions will be lifted if (A) one year (or such other period as may be required by Rule 145(d)(2) or any successor thereto) shall have elapsed from the date I acquired the JDSU Common Stock received in the Merger and the provisions of Rule 145(d)(2) (or any successor thereto) are then available to me, (B) two years (or such other period as may be required by Rule 145(d)(3) or any successor thereto) shall have elapsed from the date I acquired the JDSU Common Stock received in the Merger and the provisions of Rule 145(d)(3) (or any successor thereto) are then available to me or (C) I shall have delivered to JDSU a copy of a “no-action” letter or interpretative letter from the staff of the SEC, or an opinion of counsel in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to JDSU, to the effect that such legend is not required for purposes of the Securities Act.

At the time that I make any offer to or otherwise sell, pledge, transfer or dispose of any JDSU Common Stock that I own after the Merger, I shall notify my broker, dealer or nominee in whose name my shares are held or registered that such JDSU Common Stock is subject to this letter.

Execution of this letter should not be considered an admission on my part of “affiliate” status as described in the first paragraph of this letter agreement, or as a waiver of any rights I may have to object to any claim that I am such an affiliate on or after the date of this letter.

The representations, warranties, covenants and other agreements in this letter shall only become effective as of the Effective Time.

This letter agreement shall be binding on my heirs, legal representatives and successors.

This letter agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware.

This letter agreement may be executed in counterparts, all of which when so executed shall constitute one agreement, notwithstanding that all of the signatories are not signatories to the original or the same counterpart.


Very truly yours,
