1.5        Conversion of Shares.

(a)        At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any further action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or any stockholder of the Company:

(i)         any shares of Company Common Stock held by the Company or any wholly-owned Subsidiary of the Company (or held in the Company’s treasury) immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist, and no consideration shall be paid in exchange therefor;

(ii)       any shares of Company Common Stock held by Parent, Merger Sub or any other wholly-owned Subsidiary of Parent immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist, and no consideration shall be paid in exchange therefor;

(iii)      any shares of Company Series A Preferred Stock held by the Company or any wholly-owned Subsidiary of the Company (or held in the Company’s treasury) immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist, and no consideration shall be paid in exchange therefor;

(iv)       except as provided in clauses “(i)”, “(ii)” and (iii) above and subject to Sections 1.5(b), 1.5(c) and 1.8, (A) each share of Company Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into the right to receive $1.71 in cash, without interest and (B) each share of Company Series A Preferred Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into the right to receive $3.37 in cash, without interest; and

(v)        each share of the common stock, $0.001 par value per share, of Merger Sub outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into one share of common stock of the Surviving Corporation.

The amount of cash consideration per share applicable to the Company Common Stock or the Company Series A Preferred Stock, as applicable, as specified in clause “(iv)” of the preceding sentence (as such amount may be adjusted in accordance with Section 1.5(b)) is referred to as the “Per Share Merger Price.”

(b)        If, during the period commencing on the date of this Agreement and ending at the Effective Time, the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock or Company Series A Preferred Stock are changed into a different number or class of shares by reason of any stock split, division or subdivision of shares, stock dividend, reverse stock split, consolidation of shares, reclassification, recapitalization or other similar transaction, then the Per Share Merger Price applicable to such class of shares shall be appropriately adjusted.

(c)        If any shares of Company Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time are, as of the Effective Time, unvested or are subject to a repurchase option, risk of forfeiture or other condition under any applicable restricted stock purchase agreement or other Contract under which

2

the Company has any rights, then: (i) the Merger Consideration to be paid in exchange for such shares of Company Common Stock will also be unvested and subject to the same repurchase option, risk of forfeiture or other condition (subject to the vesting and vesting acceleration terms of such restricted stock purchase agreement or other Contract); and (ii) such Merger Consideration need not be paid until such time as such repurchase option, risk of forfeiture or other condition lapses or otherwise terminates. The Company shall take all action that may be necessary to ensure that, from and after the Effective Time: (1) such Merger Consideration shall remain so unvested and subject to such repurchase option, risk of forfeiture or other condition (subject to the vesting and vesting acceleration terms of such restricted stock purchase agreement or other Contract); (2) such Merger Consideration need not be paid until such time as such repurchase option, risk of forfeiture or other condition lapses or otherwise terminates; and (3) Parent is entitled to exercise any such repurchase option or other right set forth in any such restricted stock purchase agreement or other Contract in accordance with its terms.

No further transfer of any such shares of Company Common Stock or any shares of Company Series A Preferred Stock shall be made on such stock transfer books after the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, a valid certificate previously representing any shares of Company Common Stock or any shares of Company Series A Preferred Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (a “Company Stock Certificate”) is presented to the Payment Agent (as defined in Section 1.7) or to the Surviving Corporation or Parent, such Company Stock Certificate shall be canceled and shall be exchanged as provided in Section 1.7.

1.7        Surrender of Certificates.

(a)        On or prior to the Closing Date, Parent shall select a reputable bank or trust company to act as payment agent in the Merger (the “Payment Agent”). Promptly after the Effective Time, Parent shall deposit with the Payment Agent cash sufficient to pay the cash consideration payable pursuant to Section 1.5. The cash amount so deposited with the Payment Agent is referred to as the “Payment Fund.” The Payment Agent will invest the funds included in the Payment Fund in the manner directed by Parent. Any interest or other income resulting from the investment of such funds shall be the property of, and will be paid promptly to, Parent.

(b)        Promptly after the Effective Time, the Payment Agent will mail to the Persons who were record holders of Company Stock Certificates immediately prior to the Effective Time: (i) a letter of transmittal containing such provisions as Parent may reasonably specify (including a provision confirming that delivery of Company Stock Certificates shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to Company Stock Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of such Company Stock Certificates to the Payment Agent); and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of Company Stock Certificates in exchange for Merger Consideration. Upon surrender of a Company Stock Certificate to the Payment Agent for exchange, together with a duly executed letter of transmittal and such other documents as may be reasonably required by the Payment Agent or Parent: (A) the holder of such Company Stock Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor the dollar amount that such holder has the right to receive pursuant to the provisions of Section 1.5; and (B) the Company Stock Certificate so surrendered shall be canceled. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 1.7(b), each Company Stock Certificate shall be deemed, from and after the Effective Time, to represent only the right to receive Merger Consideration as contemplated by Section 1.5. If any Company Stock Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed,

3

Parent may, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the payment of any Merger Consideration with respect to the shares of Company Common Stock or shares of Company Series A Preferred Stock previously represented by such Company Stock Certificate, require the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed Company Stock Certificate to provide an appropriate affidavit and to deliver a bond (in such sum as Parent may reasonably direct) as indemnity against any claim that may be made against the Payment Agent, Parent or the Surviving Corporation with respect to such Company Stock Certificate.

(c)        Any portion of the Payment Fund that remains undistributed to holders of Company Stock Certificates as of the date 180 days after the Closing Date shall be delivered to Parent upon demand, and any holders of Company Stock Certificates who have not theretofore surrendered their Company Stock Certificates in accordance with this Section 1.7 shall thereafter look only to Parent for satisfaction of their claims for Merger Consideration.

(d)        Each of the Payment Agent, Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any consideration payable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder of any Company Stock Certificate such amounts as Parent determines in good faith are required to be deducted or withheld from such consideration under the Code or any provision of state, local or foreign tax law or under any other applicable Legal Requirement. To the extent such amounts are so deducted or withheld, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes under this Agreement as having been paid to the Person to whom such amounts would otherwise have been paid.

(e)        Neither Parent nor the Surviving Corporation shall be liable to any holder of any Company Stock Certificate or to any other Person with respect to any Merger Consideration delivered to any public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property law, escheat law or similar Legal Requirement.

1.8        Dissenting Shares.

(a)        Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, shares of Company Common Stock or shares of Company Series A Preferred Stock held by a holder who has made a demand for appraisal of such shares in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL (any such shares being referred to as “Dissenting Shares” until such time as such holder fails to perfect or otherwise loses such holder’s appraisal rights under Section 262 of the DGCL with respect to such shares) shall not be converted into or represent the right to receive Merger Consideration in accordance with Section 1.5, and the holders of such shares shall be entitled only to such rights as are granted by the DGCL to a holder of Dissenting Shares.

(b)        If any Dissenting Shares shall lose their status as such (through failure to perfect or otherwise), then, as of the later of the Effective Time or the date of loss of such status, such shares shall automatically be converted into and shall represent only the right to receive Merger Consideration in accordance with Section 1.5, without interest thereon, upon surrender of the Company Stock Certificate representing such shares.

(c)        The Company shall give Parent: (i) prompt written notice of (A) any demand for appraisal received by the Company prior to the Effective Time pursuant to the DGCL, (B) any withdrawal of any such demand and (C) any other demand, notice or instrument delivered to the Company prior to the Effective Time pursuant to the DGCL; and (ii) the opportunity to participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to any such demand, notice or instrument. The Company shall not make any payment or settlement offer prior to the Effective Time with respect to any such demand, notice or instrument unless Parent shall have given its written consent to such payment or settlement offer.

1.9        Further Action.   If, at any time after the Effective Time, any further action is determined by Parent or the Surviving Corporation to be necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement or to vest the Surviving Corporation with full right, title and possession of and to all rights and property of Merger Sub and the Company, then the officers and directors of the Surviving Corporation and

4

Parent shall be fully authorized (in the name of Merger Sub, in the name of the Company and otherwise) to take such action.

To the Knowledge of the Company, no “prohibited transaction,” within the meaning of Section 4975 of the Code or Sections 406 and 407 of ERISA (other than a transaction exempt under Section 408 of ERISA), has occurred with respect to any Company Benefit Plan. No mortgage, lien, pledge, charge, security interest or other Encumbrance of any kind has been imposed under the Code, ERISA or to the Knowledge of the Company any foreign Legal Requirement with respect to any Company Benefit Plan or any of the assets of any Company Benefit Plan.

(l)         None of the Acquired Corporations has incurred or reasonably expects to incur, either directly or indirectly (including as a result of an indemnification obligation), any material liability under Title I or IV of ERISA or under the penalty, excise tax or joint and several liability provisions of the Code or to the Knowledge of the Company any foreign Legal Requirement relating to employee benefit plans (including Section 406, 409, 502(i), 502(l), 4069 or 4212(c) of ERISA, or Section 4971, 4975 or 4976 of the Code) excepting any liabilities which were settled and paid in full prior to July 31, 2005, or under any Contract or Legal Requirement pursuant to or under which any of the Acquired Corporations or any Company Benefit Plan has agreed to indemnify or is required to indemnify any Person against liability incurred under, or for a violation or failure to satisfy the requirements of, any such Contract or Legal Requirement; and, to the Knowledge of the Company, no event, transaction or condition has occurred, exists or is expected to occur which could result in the incurrence of any such material liability by any of the Acquired Corporations or by Parent.

(m)      Neither the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement, nor the consummation of any of the Contemplated Transactions (either alone or in combination with another event, whether

24

contingent or otherwise), will (i) result in any material bonus, severance or other payment or obligation to any Company Associate (whether or not under any Company Benefit Plan); (ii) materially increase the benefits payable or provided to, or result in a forgiveness of any indebtedness of, any Company Associate; (iii) accelerate the vesting, funding or time of payment of any compensation, equity award or other similar benefit; or (iv) cause any compensation to fail to be deductible under Section 162(m) of the Code or any other provision of the Code or any similar foreign Legal Requirement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing (and except as set forth in Part 2.17(m) of the Disclosure Letter), the consummation of the Contemplated Transactions will not result in the acceleration of vesting of any unvested Company Options being assumed pursuant to Section 5.4(a).

(n)        Under each Company Benefit Plan that is a single employer defined benefit plan, as of the last day of the most recent plan year ended prior to the date of this Agreement, the actuarially determined present value of all “benefit liabilities,” within the meaning of Section 4001(a)(16) of ERISA (as determined on the basis of the actuarial assumptions contained in the Company Benefit Plan’s most recent actuarial valuation), did not exceed the then current value of the assets of such Company Benefit Plan, and there has been no material adverse change in the financial condition of such Company Benefit Plan (with respect to either assets or benefits) since the last day of such most recent plan year. The fair market value of the assets of each funded Foreign Plan, the liability of each insurer for any Foreign Plan funded through insurance or the book reserve established for any Foreign Plan, together with any accrued contributions, is sufficient to procure or provide in full for the accrued benefit obligations with respect to all current and former participants in such Foreign Plan according to the actuarial assumptions and valuations most recently used to determine employer contributions to and obligations under such Foreign Plan. Neither the execution of this Agreement, nor the consummation of any of the Contemplated Transactions, will cause any of the assets or insurance obligations to be less than the benefit obligations under such Company Benefit Plan or Foreign Plan.

(o)        Except as set forth in Part 2.17(o) of the Disclosure Letter, none of the Acquired Corporations: (i) maintains any plan, agreement or arrangement, formal or informal, that provides material benefits in the nature of severance; or (ii) has any outstanding liabilities with respect to material severance benefits.

(q)        Except for the Option Plans, and except as set forth in Part 2.17(q) of the Disclosure Letter, none of the Acquired Corporations maintains any plan, program or arrangement or is a party to any Contract that provides any material benefits or provides for material payments to any Person based on or measured by the value of any equity security of, or interest in, any of the Acquired Corporations.

(r)        No Acquired Corporation has undertaken any option re-pricing or option exchange program with respect to any stock options.

(s)        Part 2.17(s) of the Disclosure Letter sets forth any and all indebtedness in excess of $5,000 of any Company Associate to any of the Acquired Corporations.

(t)         With respect to each Company Benefit Plan and with respect to each state workers’ compensation arrangement that is funded wholly or partially through an insurance policy or public or private fund, all premiums required to have been paid under such insurance policy or fund have been paid, and none of the Acquired Corporations has any material liability under any such insurance policy or fund or under any related Contract (whether in the nature of a retroactive rate adjustment or loss sharing arrangement or otherwise).

25

(u)        Part 2.17(u) of the Disclosure Letter accurately sets forth, with respect to each employee of each of the Acquired Corporations (including any employee of any of the Acquired Corporations who is on a leave of absence or on layoff status):

(i)         the name of such employee, the Acquired Corporation by which such employee is employed and the date as of which such employee was originally hired by such Acquired Corporation;

(ii)       such employee’s title; and

(iii)      such employee’s annualized compensation as of the date of this Agreement.

4.3        No Solicitation.

(a)        The Company shall not directly or indirectly do, and shall ensure that no Representative of any of the Acquired Corporations directly or indirectly does, any of the following: (i) solicit, initiate, knowingly encourage, induce or knowingly facilitate the making, submission or announcement of any Acquisition Proposal or Acquisition Inquiry; (ii) furnish any non-public information regarding any of the Acquired Corporations to any Person in connection with or in response to an Acquisition Proposal or Acquisition Inquiry; (iii) engage in discussions or negotiations with any Person with respect to any Acquisition Proposal on Acquisition Inquiry; (iv) approve, endorse or recommend any Acquisition Proposal; or (v) execute or enter into any letter of intent or similar document or any Contract (other than confidentiality agreements contemplated by this Section 4.3) contemplating or otherwise relating to any Acquisition Transaction; provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 4.3(a), prior to the adoption and approval of this Agreement by the Required Stockholder Vote, the Company may, (A) in response to an Acquisition Inquiry that has been made by such Person (and not withdrawn), furnish nonpublic information regarding the Acquired Corporations to such Person, and (B) in response to an Acquisition Proposal that has been made by such Person (and not withdrawn), furnish nonpublic information regarding the Acquired Corporations to, or enter into discussions or conduct negotiations

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company acknowledges and agrees that, in the event any Representative of any of the Acquired Corporations (whether or not such Representative is purporting to act on behalf of any of the Acquired Corporations) takes any action that, if taken by the Company, would constitute a breach of this Section 4.3 by the Company, the taking of such action by such Representative shall be deemed to constitute a breach of this Section 4.3 by the Company for purposes of this Agreement.

(b)        If any Acquired Corporation or any Representative of any Acquired Corporation receives an Acquisition Proposal or Acquisition Inquiry at any time during the Pre-Closing Period, then the Company shall promptly (and in no event later than 48 hours after receipt of such Acquisition Proposal or Acquisition Inquiry) advise Parent orally and in writing of such Acquisition Proposal or Acquisition Inquiry (including the identity of the Person making or submitting such Acquisition Proposal or Acquisition Inquiry, and the terms thereof).

4.5        Benefit Plans.   As promptly as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time, Parent shall, with respect to each Company Associate employed by Parent or any Acquired Corporation after the Effective Time (each, a “Continuing Employee”) who is not located in India, enroll such Continuing Employee in Parent’s employee benefit plans for which such employee is eligible (“Parent Benefit Plans”) with similar types and levels of benefits as those provided to similarly situated employees of Parent under the Parent Benefit Plans and shall, with respect to each Continuing Employee who is located in India, provide such Continuing Employee with the opportunity to participate in the Company Benefit Plans in effect as of the date of this Agreement for which such employee is eligible; provided, that such obligation shall not extend to any employee benefit plan providing for the payment of salary, bonus, vacation, deferred compensation, incentive compensation, stock purchase, stock option, other equity-based compensation, severance, termination, retention, or change-in-control benefits. For purposes of determining eligibility, vesting and entitlement to benefits (including vacation benefits, but not for accrual of pension benefits), service with an Acquired Corporation shall be treated as service with Parent; provided, that such service shall not be recognized to the extent that such recognition would result in a duplication of benefits or to the extent that such service was not recognized under the applicable Company Benefit Plan.

5.2        Company Stockholders’ Meeting.

(a)        The Company shall take all action necessary under all applicable Legal Requirements to call, give notice of and hold a meeting of the holders of Company Common Stock to vote on the adoption and approval of this Agreement (the “Company Stockholders’ Meeting”). The Company Stockholders’ Meeting shall be held (on a date selected by the Company in consultation with Parent) as promptly as practicable after the date of this Agreement, and in any event no later than the date 45 days after the date on which the staff of the SEC communicates its final clearance of the mailing of the Proxy Statement.

40

Recommendation should be withdrawn or modified and setting forth the basis for the board of directors’ determination and (iv) the Acquisition Proposal that is the subject of the withdrawal or modification of the Company Board Recommendation did not arise or result, directly or indirectly, from any breach of any of the provisions set forth in Section 4.3.

5.4        Stock Options and Purchase Plan; Warrants.

(a)        Subject to Section 5.4(c), at the Effective Time, each Company Option that is outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether or not vested, shall be converted into and become an option to purchase Parent Common Stock, and Parent shall assume each such Company Option in accordance with the terms (i) (as in effect as of the date of this Agreement) of the stock option plan, if any, under which such Company Option was issued, (ii) of the stock option agreement by which such Company Option is evidenced, (iii) of the Company’s Board of Directors’ resolutions of September 17, 2001, (iv) of the Company’s Compensation Committee’s resolutions of September 19, 2005 and (v) the terms of offer letters disclosed in Section 2.10(a)(i) of the Disclosure Letter ((iii), (iv) and (v) being referred to as the “CIC Board Resolutions”), as applicable. All rights with respect to Company Common Stock under Company Options assumed by Parent shall thereupon be converted into rights with respect to Parent Common Stock. Accordingly, from and after the Effective Time: (i) each Company Option assumed by Parent may be exercised solely for shares of Parent Common Stock; (ii) the number of shares of Parent Common Stock subject to each Company Option assumed by Parent shall be determined by multiplying the number of shares of Company Common Stock that were subject to such Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time by the Conversion Ratio (as defined below), and rounding the resulting number down to the nearest whole number of shares of Parent Common Stock; (iii) the per share exercise price for the Parent Common Stock issuable upon exercise of each Company Option assumed by Parent shall be determined by dividing the per share exercise price of Company Common Stock subject to such Company Option, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, by the Conversion Ratio, and rounding the resulting exercise price up to the nearest whole cent; and (iv) any

41

restriction on the exercise of any Company Option assumed by Parent shall continue in full force and effect and the term, exercisability, vesting schedule and other provisions of such Company Option shall otherwise remain unchanged (subject to the exercisability, vesting and vesting acceleration terms of such Company Option and the CIC Board Resolutions); provided, however, that: (A) each Company Option assumed by Parent in accordance with this Section 5.4(a) shall, in accordance with its terms, be subject to further adjustment as appropriate to reflect any stock split, division or subdivision of shares, stock dividend, reverse stock split, consolidation of shares, reclassification, recapitalization or other similar transaction with respect to Parent Common Stock subsequent to the Effective Time; and (B) Parent’s board of directors or a committee thereof shall succeed to the authority and responsibility of the Company’s board of directors or any committee thereof with respect to each Company Option assumed by Parent. For purposes of this Section 5.4(a), “Conversion Ratio” shall mean the fraction having a numerator equal to the Per Share Merger Price and having a denominator equal to the average closing price of Parent Common Stock for the period of the ten consecutive trading days ending on (and including) the second trading day prior to the Closing (adjusted to the extent appropriate to reflect any stock split, division or subdivision of shares, stock dividend, reverse stock split, consolidation of shares, reclassification, recapitalization or other similar transaction with respect to Parent Common Stock).

(b)        Parent shall file with the SEC, no later than seven business days after the Effective Time, a registration statement on Form S-8, if available for use by Parent, relating to the shares of Parent Common Stock issuable with respect to the Company Options assumed by Parent in accordance with Section 5.4(a).

(c)        Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 5.4, in lieu of assuming outstanding Company Options in accordance with Section 5.4(a), Parent may, at its election, cause any or all of such outstanding Company Options to be replaced by issuing reasonably equivalent replacement stock options in substitution therefor (including similar exercisability, vesting and vesting acceleration terms). Effective at or prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall reserve (free from preemptive rights) out of its reserved but unissued shares of Parent Common Stock, for the purposes of effecting the assumption of Company Options pursuant to this Agreement, sufficient shares of Parent Common Stock to provide for such assumption.

(d)        At the Effective Time, Parent may, at its election, assume any or all of the Option Plans. If Parent elects to assume any Option Plan, then, under such Option Plan, Parent shall be entitled to grant stock awards, to the extent permissible under applicable Legal Requirements, using the share reserves of such Option Plan as of the Effective Time (including any shares returned to such share reserves as a result of the termination of Company Options that are assumed by Parent pursuant to Section 5.4(a)), except that: (i) stock covered by such awards shall be shares of Parent Common Stock; (ii) each reference in such Option Plan to a number of shares of Company Common Stock shall be deemed amended to refer instead to a number of shares of Parent Common Stock determined by multiplying the number of referenced shares of Company Common Stock by the Conversion Ratio, and rounding the resulting number down to the nearest whole number of shares of Parent Common Stock; and (iii) Parent’s board of directors or a committee thereof shall succeed to the authority and responsibility of the Company’s board of directors or any committee thereof with respect to the administration of such Option Plan.

(e)        Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall take all actions that may be necessary (under the Option Plans and otherwise) to effectuate the provisions of this Section 5.4 and to ensure that, from and after the Effective Time, holders of Company Options have no rights with respect thereto other than those specifically provided in this Section 5.4.

42

(f)         Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall take all actions that may be necessary to: (i) cause the exercise (as of the last business day prior to the Closing Date) of each outstanding purchase right under the Purchase Plan, and make any pro-rata adjustments that may be necessary to reflect the shortened offering period but otherwise cause such shortened offering period to be treated as a fully effective and completed offering period for all purposes under the Purchase Plan; and (ii) provide that no further offering period or purchase period shall commence under the Purchase Plan after the Effective Time; provided, however, that such exercise of outstanding purchase rights, and the cessation of further offering and purchase periods, shall be conditioned upon the consummation of the Merger. On the last business day prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall apply the funds credited as of such date under the Purchase Plan within each participant’s payroll withholding account to the purchase of whole shares of Company Common Stock in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Plan. Immediately prior to and effective as of the Effective Time (and subject to the consummation of the Merger), the Company shall terminate the Purchase Plan and to the extent not already refunded by the Company, Parent shall refund to participants any remaining funds in the Purchase Plan as soon as practicable after the Effective Time.

(g)        Each warrant to purchase shares of Company Series A Preferred Stock that is outstanding as of the Effective Time (a “Warrant”) shall be converted at the Effective Time into the right to receive a cash amount equal to the Warrant Consideration (as hereinafter defined) for each share of Company Series A Preferred Stock then subject to the Warrant. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall deposit in a bank account an amount of cash equal to the sum of the aggregate Warrant Consideration for each Warrant then outstanding (subject to any applicable withholding tax), together with instructions that such cash be promptly distributed following the Effective Time to the holders of such Warrants in accordance with this Section 5.4(f). For purposes of this Agreement, “Warrant Consideration” means, with respect to any share of Company Series A Preferred Stock issuable under a particular Warrant, an amount equal to the excess, if any, of: (1) the Per Share Merger Price applicable to the Company Series A Preferred Stock; over (2) the exercise price payable in respect of such share of Company Series A Preferred Stock issuable under such Warrant.

(h)        The Company and Parent shall take such steps as may be reasonably requested by any party hereto to cause dispositions of Company equity securities (including derivative securities) or acquisitions of Parent Common Stock (including derivative securities) pursuant to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement by each individual who is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act with respect to the Company to be exempt under Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act in accordance with that certain No-Action Letter dated January 12, 1999 issued by the SEC regarding such matters.

5.5        401(k) Plan; Resignations.

(a)        During the Pre-Closing Period, the Company shall not take or permit to be taken any action to terminate any employee benefit plan sponsored by any of the Acquired Corporations (or in which any of the Acquired Corporations participates) that contains a cash or deferred arrangement intended to qualify under Section 401(k) of the Code; provided, however, that if so directed in writing by Parent prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall take (or cause to be taken) all actions reasonably determined by Parent to be necessary or appropriate to terminate, effective immediately prior to the Effective Time, any such employee benefit plan.

(b)        During the Pre-Closing Period, if the Company obtains knowledge of the possible resignation or other possible termination of employment of any employee of any Acquired Corporation, then the Company shall promptly notify Parent in writing of such possible resignation or other possible termination of employment.

43

5.6        Indemnification of Officers and Directors.

(a)        All rights to indemnification and advancement of expenses by the Company existing in favor of each individual who is or was an officer or director of the Company for his acts and omissions as a director or officer of the Company occurring prior to the Effective Time, as provided in the Company’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws (as in effect as of the date of this Agreement) and as provided in any Indemnification Contract between the Company and such individual (as in effect as of the date of this Agreement) in the form delivered by the Company to Parent prior to the date of this Agreement, shall survive the Merger and shall continue in full force and effect (to the fullest extent such rights to indemnification and advancement of expenses are available under and are consistent with Delaware law) for a period of four years from the Effective Time.
