W I T N E S S E T H

WHEREAS, certain terms used in this Agreement are defined in Section 9.03 of this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual covenants and agreements herein contained, and intending to be legally bound hereby, Parent, Merger Sub and the Company hereby agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

THE MERGER

SECTION 1.01 The Merger. Upon the terms of this Agreement and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, and in accordance with the DGCL, at the Effective Time (as defined below), Merger Sub shall be merged with and into the Company. As a result of the Merger, the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub shall cease, and the Company shall continue as the surviving corporation of the Merger (the “Surviving Corporation”) and as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent.

SECTION 1.02 Effective Time; Closing. As promptly as practicable and in no event later than the second business day following the satisfaction or, if permissible, waiver of the conditions set forth in Article VII (or such other date as may be agreed in writing by each of the parties hereto), the parties hereto shall cause the Merger to be consummated by filing a certificate of merger (the “Certificate of Merger”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware in such form as is required by, and executed in accordance with, the relevant provisions of the DGCL and as is otherwise in a form mutually acceptable to Parent and the Company. The term “Effective Time” means the date and time of the filing with, and the acceptance by, the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware of the Certificate of Merger (or such later time as may be agreed in writing by each of the parties hereto and specified in the Certificate of Merger). Immediately prior to the filing of the Certificate of Merger, a closing (the “Closing”) will be held at the offices of Gunderson Dettmer Stough Villeneuve Franklin & Hachigian, LLP (“Gunderson Dettmer”), 155 Constitution Drive, Menlo Park, California 94025 (or such other place as the parties hereto may agree). The date on which the Closing shall occur is referred to herein as the “Closing Date.”

SECTION 1.03 Effect of the Merger. At and after the Effective Time, the effect of the Merger shall be as provided in the applicable provisions of the DGCL. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and subject thereto, at the Effective Time, all the properties, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of each of the Company and Merger Sub shall vest in the Surviving Corporation, and all debts, liabilities, obligations, restrictions, disabilities and duties of each of the Company and Merger Sub shall become the debts, liabilities, obligations, restrictions, disabilities and duties of the Surviving Corporation.

SECTION 1.04 Certificate of Incorporation; Bylaws.

(a) At the Effective Time, the Certificate of Incorporation of the Company as the Surviving Corporation shall be amended to read the same as the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation set forth in Exhibit B hereto.

(b) At the Effective Time, the Bylaws of Merger Sub shall be the Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation (except that all references to Merger Sub in the Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation shall be changed to refer to such name as is set forth in the Certificate of Incorporation of the Surviving Corporation).

SECTION 1.05 Directors and Officers. The directors of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the directors of the Surviving Corporation, each to hold office in accordance with the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation, and the individuals set forth on Schedule 1.05 hereto shall be the officers of the Surviving Corporation, in each case until their respective successors are duly elected or appointed and qualified.

ARTICLE II

CONVERSION OF SECURITIES; EXCHANGE OF CERTIFICATES

SECTION 2.01 Conversion of Securities.

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

(i) Each share of Company Common Stock (all issued and outstanding shares of Company Common Stock being hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Shares”), issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than any Shares to be canceled pursuant to Section 2.01(a)(ii) and any Dissenting Shares (as defined in Section 2.05)) shall be converted into the right to receive, without interest, $1.55 in cash (the “Per Share Merger Consideration”). At the Effective Time, each such Share shall cease to be outstanding and cease to exist and each holder of Shares shall thereafter cease to have any rights with respect to such Shares, except the right to receive, without interest, the Per Share Merger Consideration in accordance with this Section 2.01(a)(i).

(ii) Each Share held in the treasury of the Company and each Share owned by Parent or any direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Parent or of the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be canceled and extinguished without any conversion thereof and no payment or distribution shall be made with respect thereto.

(iii) Each share of common stock of Merger Sub, par value $0.001 per share, issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and exchanged for one duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Surviving Corporation.

(b) If between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time, the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock shall have been changed into a different number of shares or a different class, by reason of any stock dividend, subdivision, reclassification, recapitalization, split, combination or exchange of shares or any similar event, the Per Share Merger Consideration shall be correspondingly adjusted to the extent appropriate to reflect such stock dividend, subdivision, reclassification, recapitalization, split, combination or exchange of shares or similar event.

SECTION 2.02 Exchange of Certificates.

(a) Exchange Agent. Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall enter into an agreement (reasonably satisfactory to the Company) with U.S. Stock Transfer Corporation, or

such other bank or trust company of recognized standing that may be designated by Parent and is reasonably satisfactory to the Company (the “Exchange Agent”). Within one business day following the Effective Time, Parent shall deposit, or shall cause to be deposited, with the Exchange Agent, for the benefit of the holders of Shares, for exchange in accordance with this Article II through the Exchange Agent, the aggregate amount of U.S. dollars payable pursuant to Section 2.01 as of the Effective Time (such cash, being hereinafter referred to as the “Exchange Fund”). The Exchange Agent shall, pursuant to irrevocable instructions, deliver such cash contemplated to be issued pursuant to Section 2.01, out of the Exchange Fund. The Exchange Fund shall not be used for any other purpose.

(b) Exchange Procedures. Within 5 days after the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Exchange Agent to mail to each holder of record of a certificate or certificates which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding Shares (the “Certificates”) (i) a letter of transmittal substantially in a form attached hereto as Exhibit 2.02(b) and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates in exchange for cash (pursuant to Section 2.01). Upon surrender to the Exchange Agent of a Certificate for cancellation (or affidavit of loss in accordance with Section 2.02(g)), together with such letter of transmittal, duly executed and completed in accordance with the instructions thereto, and such other documents as may be reasonably required pursuant to such instructions, the holder of such Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor that amount of the Per Share Merger Consideration that such holder has the right to receive in respect of the Shares formerly represented by such Certificate (after taking into account all Shares then held by such holder) pursuant to Section 2.01, and the Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be canceled. In the event of a transfer of ownership of Shares that is not registered in the transfer records of the Company, the Per Share Merger Consideration to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 2.01 may be issued to a transferee if the Certificate representing such Shares is presented to the Exchange Agent, accompanied by all documents required to evidence and effect such transfer and by evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Parent that any applicable share transfer taxes have been paid. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 2.02, each Certificate (other than Certificates representing Dissenting Shares) shall be deemed at all times after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive upon such surrender the Per Share Merger Consideration to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 2.01.

(c) No Further Rights in Company Common Stock. All cash paid upon conversion of the Shares in accordance with the terms of this Agreement shall be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such Shares.

(d) Termination of Exchange Fund. Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains undistributed to the holders of Shares for twelve months after the Effective Time shall be delivered to Parent, upon demand, and any holders of Shares who have not theretofore complied with this Article II shall thereafter look only to Parent for the Per Share Merger Consideration to which they are entitled pursuant to Section 2.01. Any portion of the Exchange Fund remaining unclaimed by holders of Shares as of a date that is immediately prior to such time as such amounts would otherwise escheat to or become property of any government entity shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, become the property of Parent free and clear of any claims or interest of any person previously entitled thereto.

(e) No Liability. To the fullest extent permitted by law, neither Parent nor the Surviving Corporation shall be liable to any holder of Shares for any Per Share Merger Consideration delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law.

(f) Withholding Rights. Each of the Surviving Corporation, Parent and the Exchange Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the Per Share Merger Consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder of Shares such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code, or any provision of applicable state, local or foreign Tax Law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld in accordance with this Section 2.02(f) by the Surviving Corporation, Parent or the Exchange Agent, as the case may be, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of the Shares in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made by the Surviving Corporation, Parent or the Exchange Agent, as the case may be.

(g) Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. If any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed, and, if required by the Surviving Corporation, in its reasonable judgment, or the Exchange Agent, the posting by such person of a bond, in such reasonable amount as the Surviving Corporation or Exchange Agent may direct, as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate and the payment of any fee charged by the Exchange Agent for such service, the Exchange Agent will issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate the amount of Per Share Merger Consideration to which the holder thereof is entitled pursuant to Section 2.01.

(h) No Interest. No interest will be paid or accrued on any cash payable pursuant to Section 2.01 or Unvested Cash.

(i) Taking of Necessary Action; Further Action. If, at any time after the Effective Time, any further action is necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this agreement and to vest the Surviving Corporation with full right, title and interest in, to and under, and/or possession of, all assets, property, right, privileges, powers and franchises of the Company, the officers and directors of the Surviving Corporation are fully authorized in the name and on behalf of the Company or otherwise, to take all lawful action necessary or desirable to accomplish such purpose or acts, so long as such action is not inconsistent with this Agreement.

SECTION 2.03 Stock Transfer Books. At the Effective Time, there shall be no further registration of transfers of Shares thereafter on the records of the Company. From and after the Effective Time, the holders of Certificates representing Shares outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall cease to have any rights with respect to such Shares, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or by Law. On or after the Effective Time, any Certificates presented to the Exchange Agent or Parent for any reason shall be converted into the amount of Per Share Merger Consideration to which the holders thereof are entitled pursuant to Section 2.01.

SECTION 2.04 Company Stock Options; Warrants.

(a) Stock Option Plans.

(i) At the Effective Time, Parent shall assume (y) all stock option plans of the Company (the “Company Stock Option Plans”) and (x)(i) all options to acquire Company Common Stock under the Company Stock Option Plans that are outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and that have an exercise price per share that is not less than the Per Share Merger Consideration and not more than $1.96, whether or not exercisable and whether or not vested, except options granted prior to the date of this Agreement to A. Leigh Powell or Terrence M. Nicholson, and (ii) all options to acquire Company Common Stock granted pursuant to Section 5.01(a) hereof (the “Assumed Company Stock Options”). The Company’s repurchase right with respect to any unvested shares acquired by the exercise of options granted under a Company Stock Option Plan (the “Company Stock Options”) shall be assigned to Parent without any further action on the part of the Company or the holders of such unvested shares. Each Assumed Company Stock Option will continue to have, and be subject to, the same terms and conditions of such option immediately prior to the Effective Time (including, without limitation, any repurchase rights or vesting provisions), except that (A) each Assumed Company Stock Option will be exercisable (or will become exercisable in accordance with its terms) for that number of whole shares of Parent’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Parent Common Shares”), rounded down to the nearest whole share, equal to (x) the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Assumed Company Stock Option multiplied by (y) the Option Exchange Ratio; and (B) the per share exercise price for the Parent Common Shares issuable upon exercise of such Assumed Company Stock Option will be equal to (x) the exercise price per share of such Assumed Company Stock Option in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time divided by (y) the Option Exchange Ratio (the exercise price per share, as so determined, being rounded upward to the nearest full cent). At or before the Effective Time, the Company shall cause to be effected any necessary amendments to the Company Stock Option Plans to give effect to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.04(a). It is the intention of the parties that each Assumed Company Stock Option shall qualify following the Effective Time as an incentive stock option as defined in section 422 of the Code (“ISO”) to the extent permitted under section 422 of the Code and to the extent such option qualified as an incentive stock option prior to the Effective Time.

For purposes of this Section 2.04, “Option Exchange Ratio” shall mean the quotient of (i) the Per Share Merger Consideration and (ii) the Parent Market Price. “Parent Market Price” shall mean the average closing price per share of Parent Common Shares for the ten most recent days that Parent Common Shares have traded ending on (and including) the trading day one day prior to the Effective Time, as reported on The Nasdaq National Market (with such average being calculated using the “simple average” methodology).

(ii) As soon as practicable after the Effective Time, Parent shall deliver to each person who, immediately prior to the Effective Time, was a holder of an outstanding Assumed Company Stock Option an appropriate notice setting forth such holder’s rights pursuant thereto and that the agreements evidencing the grants of such options shall continue in effect on the same terms and conditions (subject to the adjustments required by this Section 2.04 after giving effect to the Merger). At or before the Effective Time, Parent shall take

all corporate action necessary to reserve for issuance a sufficient number of Parent Common Shares for delivery upon exercise of Assumed Company Stock Options. As soon as practicable after the Effective Time but no later than five business days thereafter, Parent shall file a registration statement on Form S-8 (or any successor or other appropriate forms) that will register the Parent Common Shares subject to such Assumed Company Stock Options to the extent permitted by federal securities laws and shall maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement or registration statements for so long as such options remain outstanding. In addition, Parent shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Parent Common Shares subject to Assumed Company Stock Options to be listed on The Nasdaq National Market and such exchanges as Parent shall determine.

(iii) At the Effective Time, the Company shall take all necessary action to cancel each Company Stock Option outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether or not exercisable and whether or not vested, under the Company Stock Option Plans, except the Assumed Company Stock Options. Each holder of a Company Stock Option outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time being cancelled pursuant to this Section 2.04(a)(iii), whether or not exercisable and whether or not vested, shall be entitled to receive from the Surviving Corporation, in exchange for the cancellation of such Company Stock Options, a lump sum cash payment equal to (x) the product of the Per Share Merger Consideration multiplied by the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such cancelled Company Stock Option reduced by (y) the aggregate exercise price for such cancelled Company Stock Option. Such payment shall be reduced by applicable withholding taxes and shall be made promptly after the Effective Time. The Company Stock Options other than the Assumed Company Stock Options shall be cancelled without any payment if the exercise price per share exceeds the Per Share Merger Consideration. The Company shall take all action necessary to approve the disposition of the Company Stock Options being cancelled in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to the extent necessary to exempt such dispositions under Rule 16b-3 of the Exchange Act.

(b) Stock Purchase Plan. Outstanding purchase rights under the Company’s 2000 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “Company Purchase Plan”) shall be cancelled immediately prior to the Effective Time, and the Company shall refund to each participant in the Company Purchase Plan all payroll deductions made by each participant pursuant to the Company Purchase Plan. The Company shall cause the Company Purchase Plan to be terminated as of the Effective Time.

(c) Warrants. At the Effective Time, each warrant to acquire shares of Company Common Stock granted and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (each a “Company Warrant”), whether or not contingent or earned and whether exercisable or unexercisable, that does not terminate by its terms at or prior to the Effective Time, shall either (i) be converted into a warrant to acquire Parent Common Shares or (ii) represent the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration, as required by the terms of such Company Warrant.

SECTION 2.05 Dissenting Shares.

(a) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, Shares that are outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and that are held by stockholders

who have demanded and not effectively withdrawn or lost appraisal rights for such Shares in accordance with the DGCL (collectively, the “Dissenting Shares”) shall not be converted into or represent the right to receive the applicable cash. Such stockholders shall be entitled to receive payment of the appraised value of such shares of Company Common Stock held by them in accordance with the DGCL, unless and until such stockholders fail to perfect or effectively withdraw or otherwise lose their appraisal rights under the DGCL. All Shares held by stockholders who shall have effectively withdrawn or lost (through failure to perfect of otherwise) their right to appraisal of such Shares under the DGCL shall thereupon be deemed to have been converted into and to have become exchangeable for, as of the Effective Time, the right to receive Per Share Merger Consideration provided for in Section 2.01(a), without any interest thereon.

(b) The Company shall give Parent (i) prompt notice of any demands for appraisal received by the Company, withdrawals of such demands, and any other related instruments served pursuant to the DGCL and received by the Company prior to the Effective Time and (ii) the opportunity to participate, at its own expense, in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to demands for appraisal under the DGCL. The Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of Parent, make any payment with respect to any demands for appraisal or offer to settle or settle any such demands.

ARTICLE III

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE COMPANY

The Company hereby represents and warrants to Parent and Merger Sub as of the date of this Agreement that the statements contained in this Article III are true and correct, subject to the exceptions set forth in the disclosure letter delivered by the Company to Parent and Merger Sub concurrently with the execution of this Agreement dated as of the date of this Agreement (the “Company Disclosure Letter”). The Company Disclosure Letter shall be arranged according to specific sections in this Article III and shall provide exceptions to, or otherwise qualify, only the corresponding section in this Article III and any other section in this Article III where it is reasonably clear, upon a reading of such disclosure without any independent knowledge on the part of the reader regarding the matter disclosed, that the disclosure could reasonably be expected to apply to such other section.

SECTION 3.01 Organization and Qualification; Subsidiaries.

(a) Section 3.01(a) of the Company Disclosure Letter sets forth the jurisdiction of incorporation or organization of each of the Company and each subsidiary of the Company (collectively, the “Company Subsidiaries”). Each of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of such incorporation and has all requisite corporate power and authority to own, lease and operate its properties and to carry on its business as it is now being conducted. Each of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries is duly qualified or licensed as a foreign corporation or organization to do business, and is in good standing, in each jurisdiction where the character of the properties owned, leased or operated by it or the nature of its business makes such qualification or licensing necessary, except for such failures to be so qualified or licensed

and in good standing that have not had, and would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Company Material Adverse Effect. The term “Company Material Adverse Effect” means any event, changes in or effects on the business of the Company or any Company Subsidiary that, individually or in the aggregate are, or would reasonably be expected to be, materially adverse to the business, financial condition, results of operations, assets (tangible or intangible) and liabilities (including contingent liabilities) of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries, taken as a whole; provided, however, in no event shall any event, violation, inaccuracy, circumstance or other matters relating to (directly or indirectly) any of the following be deemed to constitute, nor shall any of the following, either singly or in the aggregate, be taken into account in determining whether there has been or will be a Company Material Adverse Effect: (i) any conditions affecting the industry in which the Company and the Company Subsidiaries operate that do not have a disproportionate impact in any material respect on the Company and the Company Subsidiaries, taken as a whole relative to other business entities engaged in the same or similar industry; (ii) any conditions affecting the general economy or the capital markets that do not disproportionately impact in any material respect the Company and the Company Subsidiaries, taken as a whole relative to other business entities engaged in the same or similar industry; (iii) any changes or events primarily attributable to the announcement or the pendency of the transactions contemplated hereby, including, without limitation, disruption or loss of customer, business partner, supplier or employee relationships (provided that the exception in this clause (iii) shall not be used to excuse a breach of a representation or warranty of the Company contained in Sections 3.04, 3.05, 3.11(d), 3.15(d) or 3.22 that arises from the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the consummation of the Merger); (iv) any changes or events primarily resulting from compliance by the Company and the Company Subsidiaries with the terms, or the taking of any action required by, this Agreement; (v) in and of itself, any failure by the Company to meet any estimates of revenues or earnings for any period ending on or after the date of this Agreement and prior to the Effective Time or any reduction in any revenues or earnings as compared to prior periods (provided that the exception in this clause (v) shall not prevent or otherwise affect a determination that any event, change, effect, circumstance or development underlying such failure has resulted in, or contributed to, a Company Material Adverse Effect); (vi) in and of itself, any decline in the market price of the Company Common Stock on The Nasdaq National Market (provided that the exception in this clause (vi) shall not prevent or otherwise affect a determination that any event, change, effect, circumstance or development underlying such decline has resulted in, or contributed to, a Company Material Adverse Effect); (vii) any actions taken or announced by Parent or taken or announced by the Company at the written request or direction of Parent, or any inactions or failures to act by Parent or by the Company at the written request or direction of Parent; (viii) the failure by Parent to comply with the terms of or to take actions required by this Agreement; or (ix) any change in accounting requirements or principles or any change in applicable laws, rules or regulations or the interpretation thereof.

(b) Neither the Company nor any Company Subsidiary directly or indirectly owns any equity or similar interest in, or any interest convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for, any corporation, partnership, joint venture or other business association or entity (other than the Company Subsidiaries in the case of the Company) that is or would reasonably be expected to be material to the Company and the Company Subsidiaries, taken as a whole.

SECTION 3.02 Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws. The Company has heretofore made available to Parent a complete and correct copy of the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Company, each as amended as of the date of this Agreement. Such Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws are in full force and effect. Neither the Company nor any Company Subsidiary is in violation in any material respect of any of the provisions of its Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws (or equivalent organizational documents).

SECTION 3.03 Capitalization.

(a) The authorized capital stock of the Company consists of 100,000,000 shares of Company Common Stock and 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Company Preferred Stock”). As of the date of this Agreement, (i) 42,628,383 shares of Company Common Stock are issued and outstanding, all of which are duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, (ii) no shares of either Company Common Stock or Company Preferred Stock are held in the treasury of the Company, (iii) no shares of Company Common Stock or Company Preferred Stock are held by Company Subsidiaries and (iv) no shares of Company Preferred Stock are issued and outstanding. Each outstanding share of stock or other equity interest of each Company Subsidiary is duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and each such share or other equity interest of a Company Subsidiary owned by the Company or another Company Subsidiary is free and clear of all Liens (as defined in Section 3.14(b)) (other than Permitted Liens), options, rights of first refusal, or limitations on voting rights. The Company directly owns 100% of the issued and outstanding capital stock, and all options or other rights to acquire such capital stock, of each Company Subsidiary.

(b) The Company has duly reserved 16,552,500 shares of Company Common Stock for future issuance pursuant to the Company Stock Option Plans, of which options to purchase 9,469,569 shares of Company Common Stock are outstanding as of the date of this Agreement. The Company has provided to Parent a report dated as of November 29, 2004 that sets forth with respect to each Company Stock Option that is outstanding as of such date: (i) the name of the holder of such Company Stock Option; (ii) the number of shares of Company Common Stock that remain subject to such Company Stock Option; (iii) the date on which such Company Stock Option was granted; (iv) the term of such Company Stock Option; (v) the vesting schedule for such Company Stock Option; (vi) the vesting commencement date for such Company Stock Option; (vii) the exercise price per share of Company Common Stock purchasable under such Company Stock Option; and (viii) the status of such Company Stock Option as an ISO. No Assumed Company Stock Option will by its terms require an adjustment in connection with the Merger, except as contemplated by this Agreement. Neither the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, nor any action taken or to be taken by the Company in connection with such transactions, will result in (i) any acceleration of exercisability or vesting (including, without limiting the foregoing, any right to acceleration of vesting that is contingent upon the occurrence of a subsequent event) in favor of any optionee under any Assumed Company Stock Option; (ii) any additional benefits for any optionee under any Assumed Company Stock Option; or (iii) the inability of Parent after the Effective Time to exercise any right or benefit held by the Company prior to the Effective Time with respect to any Assumed Company Stock Option or any shares of Company Common Stock previously issued upon exercise of a Company Stock Option, including, without limitation, the right to repurchase an optionee’s unvested shares on termination of such optionee’s employment. The assumption

by Parent of the Assumed Company Stock Option Plans and the Assumed Company Stock Options issued thereunder in accordance with Section 2.04 hereunder will not give rise to any event described in clauses (i) through (iii) of the immediately preceding sentence.

(c) The Company has duly reserved 919,608 shares of Company Common Stock for future issuance pursuant to the exercise of Company Warrants. Section 3.03(c) of the Company Disclosure Letter sets forth, with respect to each Company Warrant issued to any person: (i) the name of the holder of such Company Warrant; (ii) the total number of shares of Company Common Stock that are subject to such Company Warrant; (iii) the total number of shares of Company Common Stock with respect to which such Company Warrant is immediately exercisable; (iv) the exercise price per share of Company Common Stock issuable under such Company Warrant; and (v) the term of such Company Warrant.

(d) Except for Company Purchase Plan, the Company Stock Options and the Company Warrants, there are no other options, warrants or other similar rights outstanding obligating the Company or any Company Subsidiary to issue or sell any shares of its capital stock or other equity interests. The Company has no stockholders’ rights plan or similar plan in effect. All shares of Company Common Stock subject to the Company Purchase Plan, and outstanding Company Stock Options and Company Warrants, upon issuance in accordance with the terms and conditions specified in the instruments pursuant to which they are issuable, will be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable. As a result of the Merger and without any further action by the Company, all Shares outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time that are unvested or are subject to a repurchase option, risk of forfeiture or other condition under any applicable restricted stock purchase agreement or other similar agreement with the Company will fully vest and will no longer be subject to repurchase or forfeiture. There are no outstanding contractual obligations of the Company to repurchase, redeem or otherwise acquire any shares of capital stock or other equity interests of the Company or any Company Subsidiary. Each holder of a Company Stock Option or Company Warrant will be given, or shall have properly waived, any required notice of the Merger prior to the Effective Time.

(e) All of the securities sold or issued by the Company and each Company Subsidiary have been sold or issued in compliance with the requirements of the federal securities laws and any other applicable securities laws.

(f) There are no stockholder agreements, voting trusts or other agreements or understandings to which the Company or any Company Subsidiary is a party (i) relating to voting, registration or disposition of any shares of capital stock of the Company or any Company Subsidiary; (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 or any Company Subsidiary; or (iii) granting to any person or group of persons information rights.

SECTION 3.04 Authority Relative to This Agreement. The Company has all necessary corporate power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement, and, subject to obtaining the approval of the Merger and adoption of this Agreement by the Company’s stockholders by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock at a meeting duly called and where a quorum is present (the “Company Stockholder Approval”), to perform its obligations hereunder and to consummate the

ADDITIONAL AGREEMENTS

SECTION 6.01 Proxy Statement.

(a) As promptly as practicable after the execution of this Agreement, the Company shall prepare and file with the SEC a proxy statement (together with any amendments thereof or supplements thereto, the “Proxy Statement”) relating to the meeting of the Company’s stockholders (the “Company Stockholders’ Meeting”) to be held to consider approval of the Merger and adoption of this Agreement. Each of Parent and the Company shall furnish all information concerning itself as the other may reasonably request in connection with the preparation of the Proxy Statement. As promptly as practicable following approval by the SEC, the Company shall mail the Proxy Statement to its stockholders.

(c) Prior to the adoption and approval of this Agreement and the approval of the Merger by the requisite vote of the stockholders of the Company, nothing in this Agreement shall prevent the Company’s Board of Directors from withholding, withdrawing, amending, modifying or changing its recommendation in favor of the Merger in a manner adverse to Parent if (i) a Superior Proposal (as defined in Section 6.04 below) is made and is not withdrawn, (ii) the Company shall have provided written notice to Parent as promptly as practicable (and, in any event, within the next business day) advising Parent that the Company has received a Superior Proposal, specifying the terms and conditions of such Superior Proposal in reasonable detail and identifying the person or entity making such Superior Proposal (a “Notice of Superior Proposal”), (iii) Parent shall not have, within five business days of Parent’s receipt of the Notice of Superior Proposal, made an offer that the Company’s Board of Directors determines in its good faith judgment to be at least as favorable to the Company and its stockholders as such Superior Proposal (it being agreed that the Company’s Board of Directors shall convene a meeting to consider any such offer by Parent promptly following the receipt thereof), (iv) the Board of Directors of the Company concludes in good faith, after consultation with its external legal counsel, that, in light of such Superior Proposal, the failure of the Company’s Board of Directors to withhold, withdraw, amend, modify or change its recommendation is reasonably likely to result in a breach of its fiduciary obligations to the Company and its stockholders under applicable Law and (v) the Company shall not have intentionally breached any of the restrictions set forth in Section 6.04 or this Section 6.01(c). The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to provide Parent with at least one business day’s notice of any meeting of the Company’s Board of Directors at which the Company’s Board of Directors is reasonably expected to consider any Competing Transaction (as defined in Section 6.04 below). Nothing contained in this Section 6.01(c) shall limit the Company’s obligation to convene and hold the

Company Stockholders’ Meeting for the purpose of considering approval of the Merger and adoption of this Agreement (regardless of whether the recommendation of the Board of Directors of the Company shall have been withheld, withdrawn, amended, modified or changed).

(d) No amendment or supplement to the Proxy Statement will be made by the Company without the approval of the Parent (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) or as otherwise required by Law. The Company will advise Parent, promptly after it receives notice thereof, of any request by the SEC for amendment of the Proxy Statement or comments thereon and responses thereto or requests by the SEC for additional information. The Company shall supply Parent with copies of all correspondence between the Company or any of its representatives, on the one hand, and the SEC, or is staff or any other government officials, on the other hand.

(e) The information supplied by Parent for inclusion or incorporation by reference into in the Proxy Statement shall not, at (i) the time the Proxy Statement (or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto) is first mailed to the stockholders of the Company, and (ii) the time of the Company Stockholders’ Meeting, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or fail 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 were made, not misleading. If, at any time prior to the Effective Time, any event or circumstance relating to Parent or any Parent Subsidiary, or their respective officers or directors, that should be set forth in an amendment or a supplement to the Proxy Statement should be discovered by Parent, Parent shall promptly inform the Company.

If, at any time prior to the Effective Time, any event or circumstance relating to the Company or any Company Subsidiary, or their respective officers or directors, that should be set forth in an amendment or a supplement to the Proxy Statement should be discovered by the Company, the Company shall promptly inform Parent. All documents that the Company is responsible for filing with the SEC in connection with the Merger or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement will comply as to form and substance in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act.

Subject to Section 6.01(c), the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to solicit from its stockholders proxies in favor of the approval of the Merger and adoption of

this Agreement, and shall take all other action necessary or advisable to secure the vote or consent of stockholders required by the rules of The Nasdaq National Market and the DGCL, to obtain such approvals.

SECTION 6.03 Access to Information; Confidentiality.

(a) Except as required pursuant to applicable Law, from the date of this Agreement to the Effective Time, the Company shall (and shall its subsidiaries to): (i) provide to Parent (and its officers, directors, employees, subsidiaries, accountants, consultants, legal counsel, investment bankers, advisors, agents and other representatives, collectively, “Representatives”) access at reasonable times upon prior notice to the appropriate individuals, properties, offices and other facilities of the Company and its subsidiaries and to the books and records thereof and (ii) furnish promptly such information concerning the business, properties, contracts, assets, liabilities, personnel and other aspects of the Company and its subsidiaries as Parent or its Representatives may reasonably request.

The Company shall promptly notify Parent if any proposal, offer or inquiry regarding a Competing Transaction is made, and the Company shall promptly inform Parent as to the material details of any such proposal, offer or inquiry, including, without limitation, the identity of the party making any such proposal, offer or inquiry. The Company immediately shall cease and cause to be terminated all existing discussions or negotiations with any parties conducted heretofore with respect to a Competing Transaction. The Company shall not release any third party from, or waive any provision of, any confidentiality or standstill agreement relating to a Competing Transaction to which it is a party. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 6.04, the Company may furnish information to, and enter into discussions or negotiations with, a person who has made an unsolicited, bona fide proposal or offer regarding a Competing Transaction only if the

Company’s Board of Directors has (i) concluded after consultation with the Company’s external legal counsel and its financial advisor that such proposal or offer constitutes or could reasonably lead to a Superior Proposal (as defined below), (ii) has concluded, after consultation with its external legal counsel, that, in light of such Competing Transaction, the failure to furnish such information or enter into discussions or negotiations is reasonably likely to result in a breach of its fiduciary obligations to the Company and its stockholders under applicable Law, (iii) provided notice to Parent of its intent to furnish information or enter into discussions or negotiations with such person at least one business day prior to taking any such action and (iv) obtained from such person an executed confidentiality agreement on terms no less favorable to the Company than those contained in the Non-Disclosure Agreement; provided, however, that no information may be furnished and no discussions may be entered into in the event that the Company has intentionally breached this Section 6.04(a); provided further, however, that the Company’s Board of Directors shall furnish to Parent all information provided to the person who has made the Competing Transaction to the extent that such information has not been previously provided to Parent and shall keep Parent promptly and reasonably informed as to the status of any discussions regarding such Competing Transaction.

(b) A “Competing Transaction” means any of the following involving the Company (other than the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement): (i) a merger, consolidation, share exchange, business combination or other similar transaction; (ii) any sale, lease, exchange, mortgage, pledge, transfer or other disposition of 15% or more of the assets of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries, taken as a whole; or (iii) a tender offer or exchange offer for, or an offer to purchase directly from the Company, 15% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the Company.

(c) A “Superior Proposal” means an unsolicited written bona fide offer or proposal made by a third party to consummate a merger, consolidation, business combination, recapitalization, liquidation, dissolution, sale or disposition or similar transaction involving the Company pursuant to which a person (or its stockholders) would own, if consummated, at least 80% of the outstanding capital stock of the Company (or of the surviving entity in a merger or the direct or indirect parent of the surviving entity in a merger) or at least 80% of the overall fair market value of the assets of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries taken as a whole (i) that is not attributable to a material breach by the Company of Section 6.04(a) hereof and (ii) on terms (including conditions to consummation of the contemplated transaction) that the Board of Directors of the Company determines, in its good faith, reasonable judgment (after consultation with the Company’s external legal counsel and its financial advisor), to be more favorable to the Company stockholders than the terms of the Merger after taking into account whether any financing required to consummate the transaction contemplated by such offer or proposal is committed or reasonably likely to be obtained by such third party on a timely basis.

(d) Nothing contained in this Agreement shall prohibit the Company or its Board of Directors from taking and disclosing to its stockholders a position contemplated by Rules 14d-9 and 14e-2(a) promulgated under the Exchange Act.

SECTION 6.05 Directors’ and Officers’ Indemnification and Insurance.

(a) The Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation shall contain the same provisions with respect to indemnification, advancement and director and officer exculpation set forth in the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Company on the date of this Agreement, which provisions shall not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified for a period of six years from the Effective Time in any manner that would affect adversely the rights thereunder of persons who at any time prior to the Effective Time were entitled to indemnification, advancement or exculpation under the Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws of the Company in respect of actions or omissions occurring at or prior to the Effective Time (including, without limitation, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement), unless such modification is required by Law and prior notification is given to such affected persons.

(b) After the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law and as required by any indemnification agreements of the Company (as each is in effect on the date hereof), indemnify and hold harmless, each present and former director or officer of the Company and each Company Subsidiary and each such person that served at the request of the Company or any Company Subsidiary as a director, officer, trustee, partner, fiduciary, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, pension or other employee benefit plan or enterprise (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”) against all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages, liabilities and settlement amounts paid in connection with any claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation (whether arising before or after the Effective Time), whether civil, administrative or investigative, arising out of or pertaining to any action or omission in their capacities as officers or directors, in each case occurring before the Effective Time (including the transactions contemplated by this Agreement). Nothing contained herein shall make Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or the Surviving Corporation an insurer, a co-insurer or an excess insurer in respect of any insurance policies that may provide coverage for any of the foregoing, nor shall this Section 6.05 relieve the obligations of any insurer in respect thereto. Without limiting the foregoing, in the event of any such claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, (i) the Surviving Corporation shall advance or pay the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel selected by any Indemnified Party, which counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Surviving Corporation, promptly after statements therefor are received (unless the Surviving Corporation shall elect to defend such action) and following the execution of an undertaking by the Indemnified Party to repay such advanced amounts if upon final resolution it is ultimately determined such Indemnified Person is not entitled to indemnification and (ii) the Surviving Corporation shall cooperate in the defense of any such matter; provided, however, that the Surviving Corporation shall not be liable for any settlement effected without its written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). Nothing in this Section 6.05 shall supersede any agreements in effect as of the date hereof between the Company and an Indemnified Party

(c) Subject to the next sentence, for a period of six years after the Effective Time, Parent shall cause to be maintained in effect the current directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies maintained by the Company with respect to claims arising from facts or events that occurred prior to the Effective Time (including with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement); provided, however, that in no event shall Parent be required to expend

pursuant to this Section 6.05(c) more than an amount per year equal to 150% of current annual premiums paid by the Company for such insurance; provided further that if the existing directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy expires, is terminated or cancelled during such six-year period, Parent shall cause to be obtained as much directors’ and officers’ liability insurance as can be obtained for the remainder of such period for a premium not in excess (on an annualized basis) of 150% of the current annual premium paid by the Company for such insurance. The provisions of this Section 6.05(c) shall be deemed to have been satisfied if, with the cooperation of the Company, Parent obtains prepaid policies prior to the Closing which policies provide such directors and officers with coverage no less advantageous to the insured for an aggregate period of six years with respect to claims arising from facts or events that occurred on or before the Effective Time.

(d) This Section 6.05 is intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, the Indemnified Parties and their heirs and personal representatives and shall be binding on the Surviving Corporation and its successors and assigns.

Each of the parties shall defend against and respond to any action, suit, proceeding, or investigation, whether judicial or administrative, challenging or relating to the Merger, including using reasonable commercial efforts to have lifted, vacated or reversed any injunction, order, decree, stay or temporary restraining order entered by any court or other

Thereafter, unless otherwise required by applicable Law or the requirements of The Nasdaq National Market, each of Parent and the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to consult with the other before issuing any press release or otherwise making any public statements with respect to this Agreement, the Merger or any of the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
