THE MERGER

1.1   The Merger.   At the Effective Time and subject to and upon the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the applicable provisions of Delaware Law, Merger Sub shall be merged with and into the Company (the “Merger”), the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub shall cease and the Company shall continue as the surviving corporation and as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent. The surviving corporation after the Merger is hereinafter sometimes referred to as the “Surviving Corporation.”

1

“Effective Time”) as soon as practicable on the Closing Date. The closing of the Merger (the “Closing”) shall take place at the offices of Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP, located at 525 University Avenue, Suite 1100, Palo Alto, California, at a time and date to be specified by the parties, which shall be no later than the second Business Day after the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Article VI (other than those that by their terms are to be satisfied or waived at the Closing), or at such other time, date and location as the parties hereto agree in writing.

1.4   Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws.   At the Effective Time, the Certificate of Incorporation of the Company shall be amended and restated in its entirety to be identical to the Certificate of Incorporation of Merger Sub, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, until thereafter amended in accordance with Delaware Law and as provided in such Certificate of Incorporation; provided, however, that at the Effective Time, Article I of the Certificate of Incorporation of the Surviving Corporation shall be amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows: “The name of the corporation is Intellisync Corporation.” At the Effective Time, the Bylaws of the Company shall be amended and restated in their entirety to be identical to the Bylaws of Merger Sub, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, until thereafter amended in accordance with Delaware Law and as provided in such Bylaws.

1.5   Directors and Officers.   Unless otherwise determined by Parent prior to the Effective Time, the initial directors of the Surviving Corporation shall be the directors of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time, until their respective successors are duly elected or appointed and qualified. Unless otherwise determined by Parent prior to the Effective Time, the initial officers of the Surviving Corporation shall be the officers of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time, until their respective successors are duly appointed. In addition, unless otherwise determined by Parent prior to the Effective Time, Parent, the Company and the Surviving Corporation shall cause the directors and officers of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time to be the directors and officers, respectively, of each of the Company’s Subsidiaries immediately after the Effective Time, each to hold office as a director or officer of each such Subsidiary in accordance with the provisions of the laws of the respective jurisdiction of organization and the respective bylaws or equivalent organizational documents of each such Subsidiary.

1.6   Effect on Capital Stock.   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 shares of capital stock of the Company, the following shall occur:

(a)    Company Common Stock.   Each share of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company (together with the associated Company Rights (as defined in Section 2.2) under the Company Rights Agreement (as defined in Section 2.2)) (“Company Common Stock”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, will be canceled and extinguished and automatically converted (subject to Section 1.7) into the right to receive an amount of cash equal to $5.25, without interest (such amount of cash hereinafter referred to as the “Merger Consideration”) to be distributed in the manner provided in Section 1.8 (or in the case of a lost, stolen or destroyed

2

certificate, upon delivery of an affidavit (and bond, if required) in the manner provided in Section 1.10).

(b)   Cashed-Out Options.   At the Effective Time, each Company Option that is either (A) held by any Person other than an employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (each such Company Option, a “Non-Employee Option”) or (B) vested as of the Effective Time, giving effect to any acceleration of vesting resulting from the Merger (each such Company Option, a “Vested Option,” and together with the Non-Employee Options, the “Cashed-Out Options”), and, in each case, that is unexpired, unexercised and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, terminate in its entirety at the Effective Time, and the holder of each Cashed-Out Option shall be entitled to receive therefor an amount of cash (rounded down to the nearest whole cent) equal to the product of (i) the number of shares of Company Common Stock as to which such Company Option was vested and exercisable immediately prior to the Effective Time (giving effect to any acceleration of vesting resulting from the Merger), and (ii) the excess, if any, of the per share Merger Consideration over the exercise price of such Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time. Each Company Option that is not a Cashed-Out Option shall be an “Excepted Option.”

(c)    Cancellation of Treasury and Parent Owned Stock.   Each share of Company Common Stock held by the Company or Parent or any direct or indirect wholly-owned Subsidiary of the Company or of Parent immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be canceled and extinguished without any conversion thereof.

(d)   Capital Stock of Merger Sub.   Each share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of Merger Sub (the “Merger Sub Common Stock”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into one validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Surviving Corporation. After the Effective Time, each certificate evidencing ownership of shares of Merger Sub Common Stock shall evidence ownership of such shares of capital stock of the Surviving Corporation.

(e)    Employee Stock Purchase Plan.   The Company shall take all actions necessary or appropriate (including shortening an offering or accelerating a purchase period), so that effective no later than the Effective Date, the Company Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “Company Purchase Plan”) will be terminated and no participants under the Company Purchase Plan will have any further rights thereunder from and following the Effective Time. To the extent any offering period under the Company Purchase Plan is in progress prior to such termination, the Company shall ensure that such offering period shall end prior to such termination, and that each participant’s accumulated contributions for such offering period are applied towards the purchase of Company Common Stock immediately prior to such termination unless the participant has previously withdrawn from such offering period in accordance with the terms of such plan.

(f)    Adjustments to Merger Consideration.   The Merger Consideration shall be adjusted to reflect fully the appropriate effect of any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend (including any dividend or distribution of securities convertible into Company Common Stock), reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification or other like change with respect to Company Common Stock having a record date on or after the date hereof and prior to the Effective Time.

1.7   Dissenting Shares.

(a)    Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, any shares of Company Common Stock held by a holder who: (i) has not voted in favor of the Merger or consented thereto in writing, (ii) has perfected its rights to appraisal in accordance with Section 262 of Delaware Law and (iii) as of the Effective Time has not effectively withdrawn or lost such holder’s appraisal

3

rights (collectively, the “Dissenting Shares”) shall not be converted into or represent a right to receive the applicable consideration for Company Common Stock set forth in Section 1.6, but the holder thereof shall be entitled only to such rights as are provided by Delaware Law.

(b)   Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 1.7(a), if any holder of Dissenting Shares shall effectively withdraw or lose (through failure to perfect or otherwise) such holder’s appraisal rights under Delaware Law, then, as of the later of the Effective Time and the occurrence of such event, such holder’s shares shall automatically be converted into and represent only the right to receive the consideration for Company Common Stock, as applicable, set forth in Section 1.6, without interest thereon, upon surrender of the certificate representing such shares.

(c)    The Company shall give Parent (i) prompt notice of any written demand for appraisal received by the Company pursuant to the applicable provisions of Delaware Law and (ii) the opportunity to participate in any negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demands. The Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of Parent, voluntarily make any payment with respect to any such demands or offer to settle or 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, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld.

1.8   Surrender of Certificates.

(a)    Exchange Agent.   Parent shall select a national bank or trust company reasonably satisfactory to the Company to act as the exchange agent (the “Exchange Agent”) for the Merger and shall enter into a customary exchange agent agreement with the Exchange Agent reasonably satisfactory to the Company.

(b)   Parent to Provide Cash.   At the Effective Time, Parent shall deliver to the Exchange Agent for exchange in accordance with this Article I, cash in an amount sufficient to pay the full amount of the Merger Consideration payable pursuant to Section 1.6(a) in exchange for outstanding shares of Company Common Stock. Any cash deposited with the Exchange Agent shall hereinafter be referred to as the “Exchange Fund.”

(c)    Exchange Procedures.   Promptly after the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Exchange Agent to mail to each holder of record (as of the Effective Time) of a certificate or certificates (the “Certificates”) which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding shares of Company Common Stock whose shares were converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 1.6(a): (i) a letter of transmittal (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of the Certificates to the Exchange Agent and shall otherwise be in customary form) and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates in exchange for cash constituting the Merger Consideration. Upon surrender of Certificates for cancellation to the Exchange Agent together with such letter of transmittal, duly completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto and such other documents as may reasonably be required by the Exchange Agent, the holder of record of such Certificates shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor the cash constituting the Merger Consideration, and the Certificates so surrendered shall forthwith be canceled. Until so surrendered, outstanding Certificates will be deemed from and after the Effective Time, for all corporate purposes, to evidence the right to receive the Merger Consideration into which such shares of Company Common Stock shall have been so converted.

(d)   Required Withholding.   Each of the Exchange Agent and the Surviving Corporation shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any consideration payable or otherwise deliverable pursuant to

4

this Agreement to any holder or former holder of Company Common Stock such amounts as may be required to be deducted or withheld therefrom under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), or under 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, the amount of such consideration shall be treated for all purposes under this Agreement as having been paid to the Person to whom such consideration would otherwise have been paid.

(e)    No Liability.   Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 1.8, neither the Exchange Agent, the Surviving Corporation nor any party hereto shall be liable to a holder of shares of Company Common Stock for any amount delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar law.

(f)    Investment of Exchange Fund.   The Exchange Agent shall invest the cash included in the Exchange Fund as directed by Parent on a daily basis; provided, however, that no such investment or loss thereon shall affect the amounts payable to Company stockholders pursuant to this Article I. Any interest and other income resulting from such investment shall become a part of the Exchange Fund, and any amounts in excess of the amounts payable to Company stockholders pursuant to this Article I shall promptly be paid to Parent.

(g)    Termination of Exchange Fund.   Any portion of the Exchange Fund which remains undistributed to the holders of Certificates six months after the Effective Time shall, at the request of the Surviving Corporation, be delivered to the Surviving Corporation to be held in trust for such holders or otherwise according to the instruction of the Surviving Corporation, and any holders of Certificates who have not surrendered such Certificates in compliance with this Section 1.8 shall after such delivery to the Surviving Corporation, subject to Section 1.8(e), look only to the Surviving Corporation solely as general creditors for the cash constituting the Merger Consideration (which shall not accrue interest) pursuant to Section 1.6(a) with respect to the shares of Company Common Stock formerly represented thereby.

1.9   No Further Ownership Rights in Company Common Stock.   From and after the Effective Time, the former holders of shares of Company Common Stock will cease to have any rights with respect to such shares except as otherwise provided herein or by applicable law. After the Effective Time, there shall be no further registration of transfers on the records of the Surviving Corporation of shares of Company Common Stock which were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates are presented to the Surviving Corporation for any reason, they shall be canceled and exchanged as provided in this Article I.

1.10   Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates.   In the event any Certificates shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, the Exchange Agent shall issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificates, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the holder thereof, such cash constituting the Merger Consideration; provided, however, that Parent may, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the issuance thereof, require the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificates to deliver a bond in such sum as it may reasonably direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against Parent, the Company or the Exchange Agent with respect to the Certificates alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.

1.11   Further Action.   At and after the Effective Time, the officers and directors of Parent and the Surviving Corporation will be authorized to execute and deliver, in the name and on behalf of the Company and Merger Sub, any deeds, bills of sale, assignments or assurances and to take and do, in the name and on behalf of Company and Merger Sub, any other actions and things necessary 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 acquired by the Surviving Corporation as a result of the Merger.

None of the Company’s Subsidiaries is required to file any forms, reports or other documents with the SEC. The Company has Made Available to Parent complete and correct copies of all amendments and modifications effected prior to the date of this Agreement that have not yet been filed by the Company with the SEC but which are required to be filed, to Contracts and other documents that previously had been filed by the Company with the SEC and are currently in effect.

To the Company’s Knowledge, as of the date hereof, none of the Company SEC Documents are the subject of ongoing SEC review or outstanding SEC comment. Each of the principal executive officers of the Company and the principal financial officer of the Company (or each former principal executive officer of the Company and each former principal financial officer of the Company, as applicable) has made all certifications required by Rule 13a-14 or Rule 15d-14 under the Exchange Act or Sections 302 and 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 with respect to the Company SEC Documents.

(d)   Change of Recommendation.   Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 5.3(a), in response to the receipt of a Superior Offer, (x) the Board of Directors of the Company may withhold, withdraw, amend or modify its recommendation in favor of the Merger, and, in the case of a Superior Offer that is a tender or exchange offer made directly to the stockholders of the Company, may recommend that the stockholders of the Company accept the tender or exchange offer (any of the foregoing actions, whether by the Board of Directors of the Company or a committee thereof, a “Change of Recommendation”), (y) the Board of Directors of the Company, the Company or its Subsidiaries (including each of their respective directors, officers, employees, agents or other representatives) may approve, endorse, or recommend any Superior Offer or recommend a Superior Offer, or (z) the Company or any of its Subsidiaries may execute or enter into or propose to execute or enter into any letter of intent or similar document or any contract, agreement or commitment (which may be conditioned on the termination of this Agreement) contemplating or otherwise relating to any Superior Offer or transaction contemplated thereby, if all of the following conditions in clauses (i) through (vi) are met:

(i)   the Board of Directors of the Company determines in good faith, after consultation with the Company’s financial advisors and outside legal counsel, that a Superior Offer has been made and not withdrawn;

37

(ii)   the stockholders of the Company have not approved this Agreement in accordance with applicable law;

(iii)   the Company shall have delivered to Parent written notice (a “Change of Recommendation Notice”) at least three Business Days prior to publicly effecting such Change of Recommendation which shall state expressly (A) that the Company has received a Superior Offer, (B) the final terms and conditions of the Superior Offer and the identity of the Person or group making the Superior Offer and (C) that the Company intends to effect a Change of Recommendation;

(iv)   after delivering the Change of Recommendation Notice, the Company shall provide Parent with a reasonable opportunity to make such adjustments in the terms and conditions of this Agreement during such three-Business Day period, and negotiate in good faith with respect thereto during such three-Business Day period, as would enable the Company to proceed with its recommendation to stockholders in favor of adoption of this Agreement without making a Change of Recommendation;

(v)   the Board of Directors of the Company shall have determined (A) after consultation with its financial advisor, that the terms of the Superior Offer are more favorable to the stockholders of the Company than the Merger (as it may be adjusted pursuant to paragraph (iv) above) and (B) after consultation with outside legal counsel, the failure to effect a Change of Recommendation would reasonably be expected to result in a breach of the Board of Directors’ fiduciary duties to the stockholders of the Company under applicable law; and

(vi)   the Company shall not have breached in any material respect any of the provisions set forth in Section 5.2 or this Section 5.3.

(e)    Compliance with Disclosure Obligations.   Nothing contained in this Agreement shall prohibit the Company or its Board of Directors from complying with Rules 14-a-9, 14d-9 and 14e-2(a) promulgated under the Exchange Act; provided, however, that the content of any such disclosure thereunder shall be governed by the terms of this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, the Company shall not effect a Change of Recommendation unless specifically permitted pursuant to the terms of Section 5.3(d).

(f)    State Takeover Statute.   The Board of Directors of the Company shall not, in connection with any Change of Recommendation, take any action to change the approval of the Board of Directors of the Company for purposes of causing any state takeover statute or other state law to be applicable to the transactions contemplated hereby.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) neither party shall be required to pay or commit to pay any material amount to (or incur any material obligation in favor of) any Person from whom any such consent may be required, and (ii) the failure to obtain any consents, waivers and approvals pursuant to this Section 5.8 shall not be deemed a failure of any conditions to the obligations of Parent and Merger Sub under Section 6.2(b).

5.9   Equity Awards and Employee Matters.

(a)    Assumption of Certain Employee Stock Options.   Subject to Sections 5.9(b) and (c), at the Effective Time, each then outstanding Excepted Option, regardless of the respective exercise prices thereof, will be assumed by Parent or Nokia Corporation.

42

existence on the date of this Agreement as a result of the transactions effectuated by this Agreement) multiplied by the ratio of the value of the per share Merger Consideration to the value of the closing price for a share of Nokia Corporation Common Stock on the trading day immediately prior to the Closing Date (such ratio, the “Option Ratio”), rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares of Nokia Corporation Common Stock, (ii) the per share exercise price for the shares of Nokia Corporation Common Stock issuable upon exercise of such assumed Excepted Option will be equal to the quotient determined by dividing the exercise price per share of Company Common Stock at which such Excepted Option was exercisable immediately prior to the Effective Time by the Option Ratio, rounded up to the nearest whole cent, (iii) all options shall be converted into nonqualified stock options, even if they were granted as “incentive stock options” (as defined in Section 422 of the Code) and (iv) certain terms of the assumed Excepted Options shall be adjusted to conform the Company Options to the terms of the applicable Parent or Nokia Corporation equity plan, including conversion of the vesting schedule from monthly vesting to quarterly vesting. The Company will not take any action to accelerate the vesting of any Excepted Options beyond what is required under the terms of any Company Employee Plan in effect on the date of this Agreement.

(b)   Section 409A of the Code.   Notwithstanding Section 5.9(a) to the contrary, Parent or Nokia Corporation shall use commercially reasonable efforts to effectuate the conversion of Excepted Options provided for in Section 5.9(a) in a manner that will not to give rise to adverse tax consequences or penalties to the holder of the Excepted Option under Section 409A of the Code.

(c)    Option Cashouts.   Notwithstanding anything in Section 5.9(a) to the contrary, in the event that Parent, in its sole discretion, determines that it is not in the best interests of the Company, Parent or a holder of an Excepted Option, to have either Parent or Nokia Corporation assume an Excepted Option, then Parent shall, no later than 30 days prior to the Effective Time, determine that such option shall be cashed out pursuant to Section 1.6(b) of this Agreement, and such Excepted Option shall treated as a Cashed-Out Option for all purposes of this Agreement. Parent shall timely communicate to the Company and the holder of the Excepted Option its decision to cash out Excepted Options pursuant to this Section 5.9(c).

(d)   Notices.   As soon as reasonably practicable, but in no event later than ten business days following the Effective Time, Parent will use all reasonable efforts to issue to each holder of an Excepted Option a confirmation (in written or electronic form) evidencing the assumption of such Excepted Option by Parent or Nokia Corporation.

(e)    Registration.   To the extent necessary and appropriate, Parent or Nokia Corporation shall file a registration statement on Form S-8 and on Form S-3 or such other available form (for those awards which are not eligible for registration on Form S-8 and with respect to which no exemption is available) for the shares of Nokia Corporation Common Stock issuable with respect to Excepted Options as soon as is reasonably practicable and shall exercise commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statements for so long as any of such converted Excepted Options remain outstanding.

43

(f)    Termination of 401(k) Plans.   Effective as of no later than the day immediately preceding the Closing Date, each of the Company, its Subsidiaries and any ERISA Affiliate shall terminate any and all Company Employee Plans intended to include a Code Section 401(k) arrangement (each, a “401(k) Plan”) unless Parent provides written notice to the Company that any such 401(k) plan shall not be terminated. Unless Parent provides such written notice to the Company, no later than ten Business Days prior to the Closing Date, 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, its Subsidiaries 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. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the eligible rollover distributions referenced in this Section 5.9(f) shall include any participant loans, but solely to the extent that such loans comply and have at all times complied with applicable law and the terms of the applicable Company 401(k) Plan and accepting such rollover will not adversely affect the tax qualification status of, or otherwise adversely affect, Parent’s 401(k) Plan.

(g)    Benefit Plans.   Parent shall provide, or cause to be provided, to each person who was an employee of the Company or its Subsidiaries immediately prior to the Effective Time and who remains an employee of the Surviving Corporation or its Subsidiaries or becomes an employee of Parent immediately following the Effective Time (“Continuing Employees”), for a period of not less than one year from and after the Closing Date (or if shorter, for so long as such employee remains in such employment), unless any such employee contracts otherwise with Parent, employee benefits that, in the aggregate, are no less favorable to such Employee than, at Parent’s election, either those benefits provided by Parent to similarly situated employees of Parent or each of annual base salary and the benefits provided by the Company and its Subsidiaries to Continuing Employees immediately prior to the Effective Time (but not taking into account the value of any equity or equity-related benefits or compensation for purposes of determining the value of the benefits provided by the Company and its Subsidiaries immediately prior to the Effective Time); provided however, that nothing in this Agreement shall confer upon any Continuing Employee the right to continue in employment following the Effective Time, or is intended to interfere with Parent’s, the Surviving Corporation’s and its Subsidiaries’ rights (i) to terminate the employment of any Continuing Employee for any reason or no reason following the Effective Time or (ii) to terminate any Company Employee Plan, or the right of any Continuing Employee to terminate his or her own employment for any or no reason following the Effective Time. To the extent that Continuing Employees participate in any of Parent’s employee benefit plans, programs, policies and arrangements, including, but not limited to, any severance plan, medical plan, dental plan, life insurance plan, Code Section 401(k) arrangement, vacation program or disability plan (collectively, the “Parent Benefit Plans”), such Continuing Employees shall receive credit for purposes of eligibility, level of benefits, benefit accrual and vesting under the Parent Benefit Plans in which such Continuing Employees participate to the same extent such Continuing Employees’ were credited with service under comparable plans of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for such purposes; provided, however, that no such employee shall be entitled to such credit (i) to the extent that it results in duplication of benefits, or (ii) for purposes of any incentive compensation or sabbatical plan, policy, program, agreement or arrangement, or any arrangement similar to the foregoing. With respect to any Parent Benefit Plan that is a welfare benefit plan maintained by Parent for the benefit of Continuing Employees on and after the Closing Date, Parent shall (1) cause there to be waived any eligibility requirements or pre-existing condition limitations to the extent such requirements and limitations were waived under comparable plans maintained by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries prior to the Effective Time, and (2) for the plan

44

year that includes the Effective Time, give effect, in determining any deductible and maximum out-of-pocket limitations, amounts paid during the plan year that included the Effective Time by such Continuing Employees with respect to similar plans maintained by Company and its Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this agreement but solely to the extent permitted by applicable law, on or prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall pay (or cause to be paid) to each Continuing Employee the cash value of any and all accrued but unused vacation to which each such Continuing Employee is entitled as of the Closing Date, provided, however, that the Company’s obligations to cash out accrued but unused vacation shall be contingent upon Parent causing, as of the Closing Date, each Continuing Employee to participate in Parent’s vacation policy then in effect for similarly situated employees of Parent, and to accrue such amount of vacation, as of the Effective Time, as indicated pursuant to the terms of such plan.

5.10   Indemnification.

(a)    Indemnity.   From and after the Effective Time, Parent will and will cause the Surviving Corporation to fulfill and honor in all respects the obligations of the Company pursuant to the indemnification agreements between the Company and its directors and officers in effect as of the date hereof and listed in Section 5.10(a) of the Company Disclosure Schedule (including, to the extent indemnifiable thereunder, for acts or omissions occurring in connection with the approval of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby) (the “Indemnified Parties”), subject to applicable law. The certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Surviving Corporation will contain provisions with respect to exculpation, indemnification and the advancement of expenses that are at least as favorable to the Indemnified Parties as those contained in the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Company as in effect on the date hereof, which provisions will not, except as required by law, be amended, repealed or otherwise modified for a period of six years from the Effective Time in any manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of Indemnified Parties or any other person who, immediately prior to the Effective Time, was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not apply if Parent assumes and honors any obligations to indemnify such persons to the extent provided in the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws as in effect immediately prior to the date hereof.

(b)   Insurance.   For a period of six years after the Effective Time, Parent will cause the Surviving Corporation to maintain directors’ and officers’ liability insurance with one or more reputable unaffiliated third-party insurers covering those persons who are covered by the Company’s directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy as of the date hereof for events occurring prior to the Effective Time of at least the same coverage and amounts containing terms and conditions that are no less favorable to the insured than those applicable to the current directors and officers of the Company under policies maintained by the Company ; provided, however, that in no event will the Surviving Corporation be required to expend in any one year in excess of 250% of the annual premium currently paid by the Company for such coverage (and to the extent annual premium would exceed 250% of the annual premium currently paid by the Company for such coverage, the Surviving Corporation shall use all reasonable efforts to cause to be maintained the maximum amount of coverage as is available for such 250% of such annual premium); and provided, further, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, Parent may satisfy its obligations under this Section 5.10(b) 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 no less favorable to the insured than those of the Company’s directors’ and officers’ insurance policy in effect as of the date hereof.

45

(c)    Third-Party Beneficiaries.   This Section 5.10 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 Parent and the Surviving Corporation and their respective successors and assigns, and shall be in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other rights to indemnification or contribution that any such Person may have by contract or otherwise. On and after the Closing, the obligations of Parent under Section 5.10(a) shall not be terminated or modified in such a manner as to adversely affect the rights of any Indemnified Party under Section 5.10(a) without the consent of such affected Indemnified Party. In the event Parent or the Surviving Corporation or its successor or assign (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity in such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each case, proper provision shall be made so that the successor and assign of Parent or the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, honor the obligations set forth with respect to Parent or the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, in this Section 5.10.

5.11   Section 16 Matters.   Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall take all such steps as may be required (to the extent permitted under applicable law) to cause any dispositions of Company Common Stock (including derivative securities with respect to Company Common Stock) resulting from the transactions contemplated by Article I of 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.

5.12   Termination of Certain Company Contracts.

(a)    Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall effectively terminate all Contracts between either the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and the Persons listed on Section 5.12(a)(i) of the Company Disclosure Schedule, other than the agreements set forth on Section 5.12(a)(ii) of the Company Disclosure Schedule.

(b)   by either the Company or Parent if the Merger shall not have been consummated by May 15, 2006, which date shall be extended to July 14, 2006 if the Merger shall not have been consummated as a result of a failure to satisfy the conditions set forth in Section 6.1(c) (the “End Date”); provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 7.1(b) shall not be available to any party whose action or failure to act has been a principal cause of or resulted in the failure of the Merger to occur on or before such date and such action or failure to act constitutes a breach of this Agreement;

48

(d)   by either the Company or Parent if the required approval of the stockholders of the Company contemplated by this Agreement shall not have been obtained by reason of the failure to obtain the required vote at a meeting of the Company stockholders duly convened therefore or at any adjournment thereof; provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 7.1(d) shall not be available to the Company where the failure to obtain such stockholder approval shall have been caused by the action or failure to act of the Company, and such action or failure to act constitutes a breach by the Company of this Agreement;

(g)    by Parent, upon a breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement on the part of the Company set forth in this Agreement, or if any representation or warranty of the Company shall have become untrue, in either case such that the conditions set forth in Section 6.2(a) or Section 6.2(b)would not be satisfied as of the time of such breach or as of the time such representation or warranty shall have become untrue; provided, however, that if such inaccuracy in the Company’s representations and warranties or breach by the Company is curable by the Company prior to the End Date through the exercise of reasonable efforts, then Parent may not terminate this Agreement under this Section 7.1(g) prior to 30 days following the receipt of written notice from Parent to the Company of such breach provided the Company continues to exercise all reasonable efforts to cure such breach through such 30-day period (it being understood that Parent may not terminate this Agreement pursuant to this paragraph (g) if it shall have materially breached this Agreement or if such breach by the Company is cured within such 30-day period); and

49

Superior Offer would reasonably be expected to result in a breach of the Board of Directors’ fiduciary duties to the stockholders of the Company under applicable law, and a reasonable opportunity to make such adjustments in the terms and conditions of this Agreement during the five-Business Day period following such notice, as would enable the Company to proceed with the Merger, (v) a tender or exchange offer relating to its securities shall have been commenced by a Person unaffiliated with Parent, and the Company shall not have sent to its security holders pursuant to Rule 14e-2 promulgated under the Exchange Act, within ten Business Days after such tender or exchange offer is first published, sent or given, a statement disclosing that the Board of Directors of the Company recommends rejection of such tender or exchange offer, (vi) the Company materially breaches any of its obligations set forth in Section 5.2 or Section 5.3, provided, however, that with respect to any breach by the Company of Section 5.3, such breach is willful, or (vii) the Board of Directors of the Company shall have resolved to do any of the foregoing.

50

intent with respect to an Acquisition of the Company and (b) such payment shall be made promptly, but in no event later than two Business Days after the consummation of such Acquisition of the Company or the entry into such definitive agreement or letter of intent by the Company.

(ii)   Interest; Other Remedies.   The Company acknowledges that the agreements contained in this Section 7.3(b) are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and that, without these agreements, Parent would not enter into this Agreement; accordingly, if the Company fails to pay in a timely manner the amounts due pursuant to this Section 7.3(b), and, in order to obtain such payment, Parent makes a claim for the amounts set forth in this Section 7.3(b), the non-prevailing party shall pay to the prevailing party the reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) of the prevailing party incurred in connection with such suit, and provided that Parent is the prevailing party, the Company shall pay to Parent interest on the amounts due pursuant to this Section 7.3(b) at the prime rate of Citibank, N.A. in effect on the date such payment was required to be made. Payment of the fees described in this Section 7.3(b) shall not be in lieu of damages incurred in the event of breach of this Agreement.
