W I T N E S S E T H:

     WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of each of the Company, Merger Sub and Parent has approved and declared advisable this Agreement and the merger of Merger Sub with and into the Company (the “Merger”), upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, whereby each issued and outstanding common share, par value $1.00 per share, of the Company (individually, a “Company Common Share”, and collectively, the “Company Common Shares”) not owned by Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or any Subsidiary of Parent, Merger Sub or the Company will be converted into the right to receive $56.00 in cash, without interest (the “Merger Consideration”);

     WHEREAS, as a condition of the willingness of Parent to enter into this Agreement, James M. Smith, Frederic B. Bassett, Lisa M. Palumbo and Patricia D. Comiskey (each, a “Shareholder”), have each entered into a Shareholder Voting Agreement dated as of the date hereof (each, a “Voting Agreement”) with Parent, which provides, among other things, that, subject to the terms and conditions thereof, such Shareholder will vote his or her Company Common Shares in favor of the Merger and the approval and adoption of this Agreement; and

     WHEREAS, Parent, Merger Sub and the Company desire to make certain representations, warranties, covenants and agreements in connection with the Merger and also to prescribe various conditions to the Merger.

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements set forth herein, the parties hereto agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

THE MERGER

     Section 1.1 The Merger. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, and in accordance with the Business Corporation Law of the State of New York (the “NYBCL”), Merger Sub shall be merged with and into the Company at the Effective Time (as defined in Section 1.3). As a result of the Merger and at the Effective Time, the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub shall cease and the Company shall be the surviving corporation (the “Surviving Corporation”) and shall succeed to and assume all the rights, privileges, immunities, powers and purposes and be

liable for all of the liabilities, obligations and penalties of Merger Sub in accordance with the NYBCL.

     Section 1.2 Closing. The closing of the Merger (the “Closing”) shall take place at 10:00 a.m., New York time, on the second Business Day after the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Section 6 (other than those conditions that by their terms cannot be satisfied until the time of the Closing, but subject to the fulfillment or waiver of those conditions), at the offices of Simpson Thacher & Bartlett LLP, 425 Lexington Avenue, New York, New York 10017, or at such other time, date or place agreed to in writing by Parent and the Company. The date on which the Closing occurs is referred to in this Agreement as the Closing Date.

     Section 1.3 Effective Time. Prior to the Closing, Parent shall prepare, and on the Closing Date the Company shall file with the Department of State of the State of New York (the “NY Dept. of State”), a certificate of merger (the “Certificate of Merger”) executed in accordance with the relevant provisions of the NYBCL and shall make all other filings or recordings required under the NYBCL. The Merger shall become effective at such time as the Certificate of Merger is duly filed with the NY Dept. of State, or at such subsequent time or date as Parent and the Company shall agree and specify in the Certificate of Merger. The time at which the Merger becomes effective is referred to in this Agreement as the Effective Time.

     Section 1.4 Effects of the Merger. The Merger shall have the effects set forth in Section 906 of the NYBCL.

     Section 1.5 Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws.

     (a) The certificate of incorporation of the Company shall be amended as of the Effective Time to be in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto and, as so amended, such certificate of incorporation shall be the certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter changed or amended as provided therein or by applicable law.

     (b) The by-laws in the form of Exhibit B attached hereto shall be the by-laws of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter changed or amended as provided therein or by applicable law.

     Section 1.6 Directors. The directors of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the directors of the Surviving Corporation until the next annual meeting of shareholders of the Surviving Corporation (or their earlier resignation or removal) and until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified, as the case may be.

     Section 1.7 Officers. The officers of the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the officers of the Surviving Corporation until the earlier of their resignation or removal or until their respective successors are duly appointed and qualified, as the case may be.

ARTICLE II

CONVERSION OF SECURITIES

     Section 2.1 Conversion of Capital Shares. As of the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any further action on the part of Merger Sub, the Company or the holders of any securities of the Company or Merger Sub:

     (a) Shares of Merger Sub. Each common share of Merger Sub that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and become one validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable common share, par value $0.01 per share, of the Surviving Corporation.

     (b) Cancellation of Treasury Shares and Parent-Owned Shares. Each Company Common Share that, immediately prior to the Effective Time, is owned directly by the Company as a treasury share, or by Parent or Merger Sub, shall automatically be cancelled and shall cease to exist, and no consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor. Each Company Common Share that, immediately prior to the Effective Time, is owned directly by any Subsidiary of the Company, Merger Sub or Parent (other than Merger Sub) shall be converted into and become one validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable common share, par value $0.01 per share, of the Surviving Corporation.

     (c) Conversion of Company Common Shares. All Company Common Shares that are issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than shares to be cancelled or converted in accordance with Section 2.1(b)) shall be automatically converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration payable in respect of such Company Common Shares. As of the Effective Time, all such Company Common Shares shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled and shall cease to exist, and each holder of a certificate that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented any such Company Common Shares (a “Certificate”) shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the Merger Consideration with respect to such Company Common Shares.

     Section 2.2 Exchange of Certificates.

     (a) Paying Agent. Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall designate a bank or trust company reasonably satisfactory to the Company to act as paying agent in the

Merger and to receive the funds necessary to make the payments contemplated by Section 2.1(c) (the “Paying Agent”). From time to time after the Effective Time, Parent shall provide, or cause the Surviving Corporation to provide, to the Paying Agent funds in amounts and at the times necessary for the payment of the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.1(c) upon surrender of Certificates, it being understood that any and all interest or income earned on funds made available to the Paying Agent pursuant to this Agreement shall be turned over to Parent (such funds being hereinafter referred to as the “Exchange Fund”).

     (b) Exchange Procedure. As soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time (but no later than the second Business Day following the Effective Time), the Surviving Corporation shall cause the Paying Agent to mail to each holder of record of a Certificate as of the Effective Time, (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 proper delivery of the Certificates to the Paying Agent and shall be in customary form and have such other provisions as Parent may reasonably specify) and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of a Certificate in exchange for the Merger Consideration payable in respect of each Company Common Share formerly represented by such Certificate. Upon surrender of a Certificate for cancellation to the Paying Agent, together with such letter of transmittal, duly completed and validly executed, and such other documents as may reasonably be required by the Paying Agent, the holder of such Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor the amount of cash into which the shares formerly represented by such Certificate shall have been converted into the right to receive pursuant to Section 2.1(c), and the Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled. In the event of a transfer of ownership of Company Common Shares that is not registered in the share transfer books of the Company, the proper amount of cash may be paid in exchange therefor to a Person other than the Person in whose name the Certificate so surrendered is registered if such Certificate shall be properly endorsed or otherwise be in proper form for transfer and the Person requesting such payment shall pay any transfer or other taxes required by reason of the payment to a Person other than the registered holder of such Certificate or establish to the satisfaction of Parent that such tax has been paid or is not applicable. No interest shall be paid or shall accrue on the cash payable upon surrender of any Certificate.

     (c) No Further Ownership Rights in Company Common Shares. All cash paid upon the surrender of a Certificate in accordance with the terms of this Section 2 shall be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to the Company Common Shares formerly represented by such Certificate. At the close of business on the day on which the Effective Time occurs, the share transfer books of the Company shall be closed, and there shall be no further registration of transfers on the share transfer books of the Surviving Corporation of the Company Common Shares that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time,

Certificates are presented to the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent for transfer or any other reason, they shall be cancelled and exchanged as provided in this Section 2.

     (d) No Liability. None of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or the Paying Agent shall be liable to any Person in respect of any cash delivered to a public official or Governmental Entity (as defined in Section 3.1(d)) pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar law. If any Certificates shall not have been surrendered before the first anniversary of the Effective Time (or immediately prior to such earlier date on which any Merger Consideration would otherwise escheat to or become the property of any Governmental Entity), any such Merger Consideration in respect thereof shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, become the property of Parent, free and clear of all claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.

     (e) Lost Certificates. If any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen, defaced or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen, defaced or destroyed and, if required by Parent, the posting by such Person of a bond or the provision of other satisfactory indemnity in such reasonable amount as Parent may direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against the Surviving Corporation with respect to such Certificate, the Paying Agent shall pay in respect of such lost, stolen, defaced or destroyed Certificate the Merger Consideration with respect to each Company Common Share formerly represented by such Certificate.

     (f) Withholding Rights. Parent, the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold any applicable taxes required to be deducted and withheld by any provision of federal, state, local or foreign law from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any Person. To the extent that amounts are so deducted and withheld and paid over to the appropriate taxing authority by Parent, the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent, such deducted and withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made by Parent, the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent.

     (g) Termination of Exchange Fund. Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains undistributed to the holders of the Certificates on the date that is nine (9) months after the Effective Time shall be delivered to Parent, upon demand, and any holder of a Certificate who has not theretofore complied with this Section 2 shall thereafter look only to Parent for payment of its claim for the Merger Consideration with respect to the Company Common Shares formerly represented thereby in accordance with Section 2.1, but only as general unsecured creditors thereof.

     (x) take any action that is intended to result in any condition to the Merger set forth in Section 6 not being satisfied;

     (xi) terminate, cancel or otherwise materially modify its relationship with, or any material Contract with, any material supplier or decrease materially or materially limit the products or services provided by such supplier to the Company other than in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice;

     (b) Certain Tax Matters.

     (i) During the period from the date of this Agreement to the Effective Time, the Company shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to: (A) promptly notify Parent of any suit, claim, action, investigation, proceeding or audit (collectively, “Actions”) initiated against or with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in respect of any material tax; (B) subject to Section 4.1(a)(viii), not settle or compromise any Action against or with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in respect of any material tax; and (C) not make or revoke any material tax election, change any material method of tax accounting, amend any tax return in a manner that is material, enter into any material closing agreement with respect to any tax or surrender any right to claim a material tax refund, in the case of clause (B) and (C) without Parent’s consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided however that the Company shall have the right to take any action specified in clause (B) or (C) without Parent’s consent if such action is (1) in the ordinary course of business and consistent with past practice or (2) required by applicable law; provide, further, that if an action described in clause (1) or (2) is in respect of any income tax, the Company shall give Parent 10 Business Days notice prior to taking such action during which period Parent may comment on such action. Parent shall be deemed to consent to any action for which consent is required by Parent under this Section 4.1(b)(i) if the Company does not receive written objection to such action from Parent within 10 Business Days of the Company’s giving notice of such proposed action.

     (ii) Parent shall be liable for all transfer, stamp, real estate gains and other similar taxes arising from the transactions contemplated by the Agreement. Parent shall file all tax returns relating to such taxes.

     (c) Advice of Changes. Subject to applicable laws relating to the exchange of information, the Company shall promptly advise Parent orally and in writing of any state of facts, change, development, effect, condition or occurrence that, individually or in the aggregate, has had or would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

     (d) Control of Operations. Nothing contained in this Agreement will give Parent, directly or indirectly, the right to control or direct the Company’s operations prior to the Effective Time. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company will exercise, consistent with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, complete control and supervision over its operations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, no consent of Parent shall be required with respect to any matter set forth in Section 4.1(a) or elsewhere in this Agreement to the extent that the requirement of such consent would, upon advice of outside counsel, violate applicable Regulatory Law.

     Section 4.2 No Solicitation.

     (a) The Company shall not, nor shall it permit any of its Subsidiaries to, or authorize or permit any director, officer or employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any investment banker, attorney, accountant or other advisor or representative of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (collectively, the “Representatives”) to, directly or indirectly, (i) solicit or initiate or take any other action knowingly to facilitate or encourage, any Takeover Proposal (as defined below) or (ii) enter into, continue or otherwise participate in any discussions or negotiations regarding, or furnish to any Person any non-public information with respect to, any Takeover Proposal except to notify such Person of the existence of this provision; provided, however, that, at any time prior to obtaining the Company Shareholder Approval, the Board of Directors of the Company may, in response to a bona fide unsolicited, written Takeover Proposal made after the date of this Agreement that the Board of Directors of the Company determines in good faith after consultation with its outside legal counsel and financial advisor constitutes or is reasonably likely to lead to a Superior Proposal (as defined below), and that did not result from a breach of this Section 4.2, provided the Board of Directors of the Company shall have determined in good faith after consultation with its outside legal counsel that the failure to take such action would be reasonably likely to be inconsistent with fulfilling its fiduciary duties under applicable law, and subject to compliance with Sections 4.2(c) and (d), and after providing Parent advance notice of the intention to take such actions (A) furnish information with respect to the Company and its Subsidiaries to the Person (and its representatives) making such Takeover Proposal pursuant to a customary confidentiality agreement no less restrictive on such Person than the confidentiality agreement in effect between the Company and Parent (as it may be amended from time to time, the “Confidentiality Agreement”); provided that all such information not previously provided to Parent is provided on a prior or substantially concurrent basis to Parent, except to the extent such information would be reasonably likely to result in competitive harm to the Company or its Subsidiaries if the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are not consummated or such disclosure is prohibited by applicable Governmental Entities or pursuant to applicable laws, in each case relating to the exchange of information (“Prohibited Information”), and so long as no information is provided to the Person making such Takeover Proposal that would constitute Prohibited Information with respect to such Person, and (B) participate in discussions or negotiations with the Person (and its representatives) making such Takeover Proposal regarding such Takeover Proposal. Without limiting the foregoing, it is agreed that any violation of the restrictions set forth in the preceding sentence by any Representative or Affiliate of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, whether or not such Person is purporting to act on behalf of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or otherwise, shall be deemed to be a breach of this Section 4.2(a) by the Company. As of the date hereof, the Company has, and has caused each of its Subsidiaries and each of the Representatives to have terminated all discussions or negotiations with all third parties regarding any Takeover Proposal and requested the

prompt return or destruction of all confidential information relating to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries previously furnished to each such third party within the last year. The term “Takeover Proposal” means any inquiry, proposal or offer from any Person (other than Parent or any of its Affiliates) relating to any direct or indirect acquisition, in one transaction or a series of transactions, including by way of any merger, consolidation, tender offer, exchange offer, binding share exchange, business combination, recapitalization, restructuring, investment, liquidation, dissolution, or similar transaction, of (x) assets or businesses that constitute or represent 15% or more of the total assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or (y) 15% or more of the outstanding Company Common Shares.

     (b) Neither the Board of Directors of the Company nor any committee thereof shall (i) withdraw, withhold or qualify (or modify in a manner adverse to Parent or Merger Sub) or propose publicly to withdraw, withhold or qualify (or modify in a manner adverse to Parent or Merger Sub) the recommendation or declaration of advisability by such Board of Directors of the Company or any such committee of this Agreement or the Merger, or recommend the approval or adoption of or, propose publicly to recommend the approval or adoption of, any Takeover Proposal or withdraw its approval of the Merger, or propose publicly to withdraw its approval of the Merger (each such action being referred to herein as an “Adverse Recommendation”), or (ii) cause or permit the Company to enter into any letter of intent, memorandum of understanding, agreement in principle, acquisition agreement, merger agreement, option agreement, joint venture agreement, partnership agreement or other agreement (each, an “Acquisition Agreement”) constituting or related to, or that would reasonably be expected to lead to, any Takeover Proposal (other than a Confidentiality Agreement referred to in Section 4.2(a) or a standstill agreement with respect to the Company). Notwithstanding anything in this Section 4.2 to the contrary, at any time prior to obtaining the Company Shareholder Approval, the Board of Directors of the Company may, if the Board of Directors of the Company shall have determined in good faith, after consultation with outside counsel, that it would be inconsistent with fulfilling its fiduciary duties under applicable law for it not to do so, in response to a Superior Proposal (as defined below) that did not result from a breach of Section 4.2(a), (x) effect an Adverse Recommendation or (y) cause the Company to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1(g) and concurrently enter into an Acquisition Agreement to accept the Superior Proposal; provided however, that the Company shall not terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1(g), and any purported termination pursuant to Section 7.1(g) shall be void and of no force or effect, unless the Company shall have complied in all material respects with all the provisions of this Section 4.2, including the notification provisions in this Section 4.2, and with all applicable requirements of Section 5.6(b) (including the payment of the Company Termination Fee (as defined in Section 5.6(b)); and provided further, however, that the Company shall not exercise its right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1(g) until after the fifth Business Day following Parent’s receipt of written notice (a “Notice of Superior Proposal”) from the Company

advising Parent that the Board of Directors of the Company has received a Superior Proposal, specifying the material terms and conditions of the Superior Proposal, identifying the Person making such Superior Proposal and stating that the Board of Directors of the Company intends to exercise its right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1(g) if such Superior Proposal still constitutes a Superior Proposal (taking into account any changes to the terms of this Agreement offered by Parent in response to such Superior Proposal or otherwise) at the end of such five Business Day period (it being understood and agreed that, prior to any such termination taking effect, any amendment to the price or any other material term of a Superior Proposal shall require a new Notice of Superior Proposal and a new three Business Day period). The term “Superior Proposal” means any bona fide offer that is not subject to any due diligence condition to either party’s obligation to consummate the transaction made by a third party in respect of a transaction that if consummated would result in such third party (or in the case of a direct merger between such third party and the Company or one of its Subsidiaries, the shareholders of such third party) acquiring, directly or indirectly, more than 50% of the voting power of the Company Common Shares or all or substantially all of the assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, which transaction the Board of Directors of the Company determines in its good faith judgment (after consultation with a financial advisor of nationally recognized reputation and outside legal counsel) (taking into account the Person making the offer, the consideration offered, the likelihood of consummation (including the legal, financial and regulatory aspects of the offer) as well as any other factors deemed relevant by the Board of Directors of the Company) to be more favorable to the shareholders of the Company than the Merger, taking into account any changes to the terms of this Agreement offered by Parent in response to such Superior Proposal or otherwise.

     (c) In addition to the obligations of the Company set forth in paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section 4.2, the Company shall promptly (and in any case within 24 hours) advise Parent orally and in writing of any Takeover Proposal, any request for information that the Company has reason to believe may lead to, or that contemplates, a Takeover Proposal, or any inquiry the Company has reason to believe may lead to any Takeover Proposal, the material terms and conditions of such request, Takeover Proposal or inquiry (including any subsequent amendment or other modification to such terms and conditions) and the identity of the Person making any such request, Takeover Proposal or inquiry and any action taken or proposed to be taken by the Company in response to any such request, Takeover Proposal or inquiry. The Company shall take all reasonable steps to keep Parent informed of any material developments, discussions and negotiations related to such request, Takeover Proposal or inquiry.

     (d) Nothing contained in this Section 4.2 or elsewhere in this Agreement shall prohibit the Company from (i) taking and disclosing to its shareholders a position contemplated by Rule 14d-9 or Rule 14e-2(a) promulgated under the Exchange Act or (ii) making any disclosure to the Company’s shareholders if, in the good faith judgment

of the Board of Directors of the Company, after consultation with outside counsel, failure to make such disclosure would be reasonably likely to be inconsistent with applicable law, provided that any disclosure other than a “stop-look-and-listen” communication to the shareholders of the Company pursuant to Rule 14d-9(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act (or any similar communications to the shareholders of the Company) shall be deemed to be an “Adverse Recommendation” unless the Company’s Board of Directors (i) expressly rejects the applicable Takeover Proposal or (ii) expressly reaffirms its recommendation to its shareholders in favor of the Merger.

All requests for such access shall be made exclusively to the Representatives of the Company as the Company shall designate, who shall be solely responsible for coordinating all such requests and all access permitted hereunder. Neither Parent nor any of Parent’s Representatives shall contact any of the employees, customers or suppliers of the Company, whether in person or by telephone, mail or other means of communication, without the specific prior written authorization of such Representatives of the Company as the Company may designate.

In connection with and without limiting the foregoing, the Company and its Board of Directors shall, if any state takeover statute or similar statute or regulation is or becomes applicable to this Agreement, the Merger or any of the other transactions contemplated hereby, use its commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby may be consummated as promptly as practicable on the terms contemplated by this Agreement and otherwise to minimize the effect of such statute or regulation on this Agreement, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby.

     (b) In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, each party agrees (i) to make required filings with the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (the “FTC”) and the Antitrust Division of the Department of Justice (the “DOJ”) and in any applicable foreign jurisdiction with the appropriate Governmental Entity, the notification and report form required under the HSR Act or the antitrust and competition laws of any such foreign jurisdiction, with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement as promptly as practicable after the date of this Agreement and to supply as promptly as practicable

     (d) Upon the Knowledge of the Company, the Company shall give prompt notice to Parent of any representation or warranty made by it contained in this Agreement becoming untrue or inaccurate such that the condition set forth in Section 6.2(a) would not be satisfied; provided however, that no such notification shall affect the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements of the parties or the conditions to the obligations of the parties under this Agreement.

     (e) Upon the Knowledge of Parent, Parent shall give prompt notice to the Company of any representation or warranty made by it or Merger Sub contained in this Agreement becoming untrue or inaccurate such that the condition set forth in Section 6.3(a) would not be satisfied; provided however, that no such notification shall affect the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements of the parties or the conditions to the obligations of the parties under this Agreement.

In connection with the foregoing, each party will (i) promptly notify the other party in writing of any communication received by that party

or its Affiliates from any Governmental Entity, and, unless the disclosure is of commercially sensitive, confidential or proprietary information of Parent or the Company, or its respective Affiliates and subject to any Regulatory Law, provide the other party with a copy of any such written communication (or summary of any oral communication), and (ii) not participate in any substantive meeting or discussion with any Governmental Entity (other than telephone calls initiated by the Governmental Entity without advance notice) in respect of any filing, investigation or inquiry concerning the transactions contemplated by this Agreement unless it consults with the other party in advance, and to the extent permitted by such Governmental Entity, gives the other party the opportunity to attend and participate. Each of Parent and the Company will have the right to review in advance, and to the extent practicable each will consult with the other, in each case subject to any applicable laws relating to the exchange of information, with respect to all material written information submitted to any third party or any Governmental Entity in connection with the Requisite Approvals. In exercising the foregoing right, each of Parent and the Company will act reasonably and promptly. Each of Parent and the Company agrees that it will consult with the other party with respect to obtaining all Requisite Approvals and each will keep the other party apprised of the status of material matters relating to completion of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

     Section 5.4 Company Stock Options and Other Incentive Awards.

     (a) As soon as practicable following the date of this Agreement, the Board of Directors of the Company (or, if appropriate, any committee administering the Company Share Plans) shall adopt such resolutions or take such other actions (if any) as may be required to: (i) provide that each Company Stock Option and SSAR issued under the Company Share Plans outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (whether vested or unvested or subject to restrictions), shall be converted at the Effective Time into the right to receive an amount of cash equal to (A) the excess, if any, of (1) the Merger Consideration over (2) the exercise price per Company Common Share subject to such Company Stock Option or the grant price per Company Common Share for each such SSAR, as applicable, multiplied by (B) the number of Company Common Shares for which such Company Stock Option shall not theretofore have been exercised; (ii) provide that each right to receive Company Common Shares under each Restricted Share and Retention Incentive Award Agreement outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted at the Effective Time into the right to receive an amount of cash equal to the Merger Consideration multiplied by the number of Company Common

Shares not yet issued under each such Restricted Share and Retention Incentive Award Agreement; (iii) provide for the acceleration of vesting and termination of all restrictions with respect to restricted shares immediately prior to the Effective Time, other than restricted shares issued in connection with the acquisitions by the Company of CAS, Inc. and Impact Science and Technology, which restricted shares shall be subject to the terms and conditions thereof (it being agreed that any waiver of any applicable restriction period permitted by the terms and conditions thereof shall not be exercised) and (iv) make such other changes to the Company Share Plans as the Company and Parent may agree are appropriate to give effect to the Merger.

     (b) All amounts payable pursuant to Section 5.4(a) shall be subject to any required withholding of taxes or proof of eligibility of exemption therefrom, and shall be paid as soon as practicable and in any event within three Business Days following the Effective Time, without interest.

Parent shall ensure that the Surviving Corporation remains in a financial position to meet its commitments under this Section 5.5(a).

     (b) For six years after the Effective Time, Parent shall cause to be maintained in effect the Company’s current directors’ and officers’ liability insurance covering each Person currently covered by the Company’s directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy for acts or omissions occurring prior to the Effective Time on terms with respect to

such coverage and amounts no less favorable in any material respect to such directors and officers than those of such policy as in effect on the date of this Agreement; provided that Parent may substitute therefor policies of a reputable insurance company the material terms of which, including coverage and amount, are no less favorable in any material respect to such directors and officers than the insurance coverage otherwise required under this Section 5.5(b); provided however, that in no event shall Parent be required to pay aggregate annual premiums for insurance under this Section 5.5(b) in excess of $978,750 (the “Maximum Premium”), which the Company represents and warrants is equal to 300% of the annual premiums paid as of the date hereof by the Company for such insurance; provided that, if such premium exceeds the Maximum Premium, Parent shall nevertheless be obligated to provide the most advantageous coverage as may be obtained for such Maximum Premium.

     (c) If Parent or the Surviving Corporation or any of their successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity in such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in either such case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Parent or the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, shall assume the obligations of Parent or the Surviving Corporation, as applicable, set forth in this Section 5.5. The rights of each indemnified party hereunder shall be in addition to any other rights such indemnified party may have under the Company Charter, Company By-laws, any applicable law, agreement or otherwise.

Any such amendments made to the ESOP or other documents relating to the method of allocation of the Company Common Shares so released, or any decision made by the Company that any such amendments are not required, shall be subject to the review and approval of Parent, such review and approval not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.

This Agreement (and any claims or disputes arising out of or related thereto or to the transactions contemplated thereby or to the inducement of any party to enter therein, whether for breach of contract, tortious conduct or otherwise and whether predicated on common law, statute or otherwise) shall in all respects be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, including all matters of construction, validity and performance, in each case without reference to any conflict of law rules that might lead to the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction.

     Section 8.9 Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder shall be assigned or delegated, in whole or in part (except by operation of law), by any of the parties hereto without the prior written consent of the other parties hereto, except that Merger Sub may assign, in its sole discretion, any or all of its rights, interests and obligations under this Agreement to Parent or to any direct or indirect wholly owned Subsidiary of Parent. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement shall be binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.

     Section 8.10 Enforcement. The parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached.

In addition, each of the parties hereto (a) submits to the personal jurisdiction of any New York State court sitting in New York County or the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York in the event any dispute (whether in contract, tort or otherwise) arises out of this Agreement, (b) agrees that it will not attempt to deny or defeat such personal jurisdiction by motion or other request for leave from any such court, (c) agrees that it will not bring any action relating to this Agreement in any court other than any New York State court sitting in New York County or, if subject matter jurisdiction exists, in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, and (d) irrevocably waives any and all right to trial by jury with respect to any action related to or arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.
