AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER

THIS AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER (“Agreement”) is made and entered into as of December 14, 2009, by and among: ON SEMICONDUCTOR CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation (“Parent”); PAC-10 ACQUISITION CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation and an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Purchaser”); and CALIFORNIA MICRO DEVICES CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”). Certain capitalized terms used in this Agreement are defined in EXHIBIT A and other capitalized terms used in this Agreement are defined in the Sections of this Agreement where they first appear.

RECITALS

A. The Boards of Directors of Parent, Purchaser and the Company have each determined that it is in the best interests of their respective stockholders for Parent to acquire the Company upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth.

B. In furtherance of such acquisition, it is proposed that Purchaser shall make a cash tender offer to acquire all the issued and outstanding shares (“Shares”) of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company (“Company Common Stock”) for $4.70 per Share (such amount, or any greater amount per Share paid pursuant to the Offer, being the “Per Share Amount”), net to the seller in cash (the “Offer”), upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement and the Offer;

C. Following consummation of the Offer, Purchaser shall merge with and into the Company (the “Merger”) in accordance with the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”) and each share of Company Common Stock that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than shares of Company Common Stock held in the treasury of the Company and shares of Company Common Stock owned, directly or indirectly, by Parent or Purchaser or held by the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company, which will be canceled with no consideration issued in exchange therefor, and Dissenting Shares) will be canceled and converted into the right to receive cash in an amount equal to the Per Share Amount, all upon the terms and conditions set forth herein;

D. The Board of Directors of the Company (the “Company Board”) has unanimously (a) determined that the terms of the Offer, the Merger, and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement are fair to and in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders, (b) approved and declared this Agreement advisable in accordance with the DGCL and (c) determined to recommend that the Company’s stockholders accept the Offer and tender their shares of Company Common Stock to Purchaser pursuant thereto and, to the extent applicable, to adopt this Agreement;

E. Concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, and as a condition and material inducement to Parent’s and Purchaser’s willingness to enter into this Agreement, Parent, Purchaser, the Company, and certain officers, directors and principal stockholders of the Company listed in EXHIBIT B have entered into Tender and Voting Agreements (collectively, the “Tender Agreements”); and

F. The board of directors of each of Parent and Purchaser have approved this Agreement and declared it advisable for Parent and Purchaser, respectively, to enter into this Agreement.

AGREEMENT

The parties to this Agreement, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:

SECTION 1: THE OFFER.

1.1 The Offer.

1.1(a) Provided that this Agreement shall not have been terminated in accordance with Section 8 and that none of the events or conditions set forth in clause (c), (d), (e)(ii), (e)(iii) (with respect to the Company’s obligations and covenants in Section 1.1(b), Section 1.2, Section 6.5(b) and Section 6.7(a)(iii)(A), and the Company’s representations and warranties in Section 3.2, Section 3.23, Section 3.24 and Section 3.26, in each case to the extent the same are required to be complied with, or be true and correct, as applicable, in order for Parent and Purchaser to commence the Offer), or (e)(iv) of Annex A hereto shall have occurred and be continuing and shall not have been waived by Parent, Purchaser shall commence (within the meaning of Rule 14d-2 under the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (together with the rules and regulations thereunder, the “Exchange Act”)) the Offer as promptly as practicable and in any event no earlier than five (5) business days after the date hereof and no later than ten (10) business days after the date hereof. The obligation of Purchaser to accept for payment Shares validly tendered pursuant to the Offer and to pay the Per Share Amount for each such tendered and not subsequently withdrawn Share shall be subject only to the conditions set forth in Annex A hereto (the “Tender Offer Conditions”). Purchaser expressly reserves the right to waive any such Tender Offer Condition, to increase the Per Share Amount payable in the Offer, and to make any other changes to the terms and conditions of the Offer; provided, however, that without the prior written consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld with respect to clauses (iii)(D) or (iii)(E) below):

(i) the Minimum Condition (as defined in Annex A) may not be waived;

(ii) the conditions set forth in clause (b) (to the extent any such matter could result in a Restraint), clause (e)(i)(B), and clause (e)(ii) (insofar as it relates to clause (e)(i)(B)) in Annex A may not be waived if any such waiver would be reasonably likely to result in personal liability to any director, officer, or employee of any party hereto; and

(iii) no change may be made that (A) changes the form of consideration to be paid pursuant to the Offer, (B) decreases the Per Share Amount payable in the Offer, (C) reduces the maximum number of Shares to be purchased in the Offer, (D) imposes conditions to the Offer in addition to those set forth in Annex A hereto, or (E) amends the Tender Offer Conditions set forth in Annex A hereto in any manner adverse to the holders of Shares.

1.1(b) On the date of commencement of the Offer, Purchaser shall file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) a Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO (together with all amendments and supplements thereto, the “Schedule TO”) with respect to the Offer that will comply in all material respects with the provisions of all applicable Legal Requirements. The Schedule TO shall contain or shall incorporate by reference an offer to purchase (the “Offer to Purchase”) and forms of the related letter of transmittal and forms of notice of guaranteed delivery and any related summary advertisement (the Schedule TO, the Offer to Purchase and such other documents, together with all supplements and amendments thereto, being referred to herein collectively as the “Offer Documents”). Each of Parent, Purchaser and the Company agrees to correct promptly any information provided by it for use in the Offer Documents if and to the extent that it shall have become false or misleading in any material respect, and Parent and Purchaser further agree to take all steps necessary to cause the Schedule TO, as so corrected, to be filed with the SEC, and the other Offer Documents, as so corrected, to be disseminated to holders of Shares, in each case as and to the extent required by applicable Legal Requirements. The Company shall promptly furnish to Parent and Purchaser all information concerning the Company that is required or reasonably requested by Parent or Purchaser in connection with the obligations relating to the Offer Documents contained in this Section 1.1(b). Parent and Purchaser shall give the Company and its counsel a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on the Offer Documents prior to such documents being filed with the SEC or disseminated to holders of Shares. Parent and Purchaser shall give reasonable and good faith consideration to any comments made by the Company and its counsel. Parent and Purchaser shall provide the Company (in writing, if written), and consult with the Company regarding, any comments (written or oral) that Parent or Purchaser or their counsel may receive from the SEC or the SEC Staff with respect to the Offer Documents promptly after receipt of such comments. The Company and its counsel shall be given a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on any proposed responses before they are filed with the SEC and to participate in the response of Parent and Purchaser to such comments.

1.1(c) Subject to the terms and conditions thereof, the Offer shall remain open until midnight, New York City time, at the end of the twentieth (20th) business day after the date that the Offer is commenced (the “Expiration Date”), unless Purchaser shall have extended the period of time for which the Offer is open pursuant to, and in accordance with, this Section 1.1(c) or as may be required by applicable Legal Requirements, in which event the term “Expiration Date” shall mean the latest time and date as the Offer, as so extended, may expire. Unless this Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms, Purchaser shall extend the Offer from time to time if (i) any Tender Offer Condition is not satisfied (or, in accordance with Section 1.1(a) above, waived by Parent or Purchaser) on or before the Expiration Date; or (ii) if any applicable Legal Requirement, rule, regulation, interpretation or position of the SEC or the staff of the SEC (the “SEC Staff”) thereof applicable to the Offer requires such extension. Purchaser shall extend the Offer pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence for consecutive periods of up to ten (10) business days each (or for such period as may be required by any applicable Legal Requirement, rule, regulation, interpretation or position); provided, however, that Purchaser shall not be required to extend the Offer beyond the Outside Date. If this Agreement is terminated prior to the Acceptance Date, Purchaser shall promptly (and in any event within twenty-four (24) hours) irrevocably and unconditionally terminate the Offer (and return, or cause to be returned, all tendered Shares to the registered holders thereof).

1.1(d) If all of the Tender Offer Conditions are satisfied, but the number of Shares that have been validly tendered and not withdrawn in the Offer, together with any Shares then owned by Parent and shares that may be purchased by Parent through the exercise of the Top-Up Option, is not sufficient to enable a Short-Form Merger to occur pursuant to Section 6.3(b), Purchaser may, in its sole discretion (and, if requested by the Company, shall), and subject to the first sentence of Section 1.1(e) below, commence a subsequent offering period (as provided in Rule 14d-11 under the Exchange Act) for three (3) to twenty (20) business days to acquire additional outstanding Shares.

1.1(e) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and to the satisfaction or waiver of the Tender Offer Conditions, Purchaser shall, and Parent shall cause it to, (i) as soon as practicable after the Expiration Date, accept for payment and pay for all Shares validly tendered and not properly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer (the date of acceptance for payment, the “Acceptance Date”), which acceptance may be by oral notice to the Paying Agent, (ii) on the Acceptance Date, deposit or cause to be deposited with the Paying Agent, cash in U.S. dollars sufficient to pay the aggregate Per Share Amount for all such accepted Shares, and (iii) as soon as practicable following such deposit, cause the Paying Agent to pay for all Shares so accepted for payment. Parent shall provide or cause to be provided to Purchaser on a timely basis the funds necessary to purchase any Shares that Purchaser becomes obligated to purchase pursuant to the Offer.

1.1(f) Promptly after the Acceptance Date, the Company shall take all action requested by Parent necessary to elect to be treated as a “controlled company” as defined by The NASDAQ Stock Market and make any necessary filings and disclosures associated with such status.

1.2 Company Action.

1.2(a) The Company hereby approves of and consents to the Offer and represents and warrants that the Company Board, at a meeting duly called and held prior to the date hereof, has, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, unanimously adopted resolutions (i) determining that the terms of the Offer, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement are fair to and in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders, and declaring the Agreement advisable; (ii) approving the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, including the Offer, the Merger, and the Tender Agreements (collectively, the “Contemplated Transactions”); (iii) recommending that the stockholders of the Company accept the Offer, tender their Shares to Purchaser pursuant to the Offer and, if applicable, adopt this Agreement (the actions in clause (iii), the “Recommendation”); (iv) resolving to make the Recommendation to the stockholders of the Company and directing, that, to the extent required by the DGCL, this Agreement be submitted for adoption by the stockholders of the Company at the Stockholders’ Meeting, and (v) electing that the Offer and the Merger, to the extent of the Company Board’s power and authority and to the extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, not be subject to any “moratorium,” “control share acquisition,” “business combination,” “fair price” or other form of anti-takeover laws (collectively, “Anti-Takeover Laws”) of any jurisdiction that may purport to be applicable to this Agreement (such actions by the Board of Directors described in the preceding clauses (i) through

(v), collectively, the “Board Actions”). Subject to Section 6.1(c), the Company hereby consents to the inclusion of the Recommendation in the Offer Documents. The Company further represents that Needham & Company, LLC has delivered to the Company Board a written opinion (or an oral opinion to be confirmed in writing) dated as of the date of approval of this Agreement to the effect that, as of the date of this Agreement, the consideration to be received by the holders of Shares pursuant to each of the Offer and the Merger is fair to the holders of Shares from a financial point of view (the “Fairness Opinion”).

1.2(b) The Company shall file with the SEC, concurrently with the filing by Parent and Purchaser of the Schedule TO with respect to the Offer, a Tender Offer Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9 (together with any amendments or supplements thereto, the “Schedule 14D-9”) that will comply in all material respects with the provisions of all applicable Legal Requirements. Parent and Purchaser shall promptly furnish to the Company all information concerning Parent and Purchaser that is required or reasonably requested by the Company in connection with the obligations relating to the Schedule 14D-9 contained in this Section 1.2(b). The Company agrees to mail such Schedule 14D-9 to the stockholders of the Company along with the Offer Documents promptly after the commencement of the Offer. The Schedule 14D-9 and the Offer Documents shall contain the Fairness Opinion and, subject to any Adverse Recommendation Change in accordance with this Agreement, the Recommendation. The Company agrees to promptly correct the Schedule 14D-9 if and to the extent that it shall have become false or misleading in any material respect (and each of Parent and Purchaser, with respect to written information supplied by it, shall promptly notify the Company of any required corrections of such information and cooperate with the Company with respect to correcting such information) and to supplement the information contained in the Schedule 14D-9 to include any information that shall become necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and the Company shall cause the Schedule 14D-9 as so corrected or supplemented to be filed with the SEC and promptly disseminated to the Company’s stockholders, in each case as and to the extent required by applicable Legal Requirements. The Company shall give Parent and its counsel a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on the Schedule 14D-9 prior to such document being filed with the SEC or disseminated to holders of Shares. The Company shall give reasonable and good faith consideration to any comments made by Parent and its counsel. The Company shall provide Parent and Purchaser (in writing, if written), and consult with Parent and Purchaser regarding, any comments (written or oral) that the Company or its counsel may receive from the SEC or the SEC Staff with respect to the Schedule 14D-9 promptly after receipt of such comments. Parent and Purchaser and their counsel shall be given a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on any proposed responses before they are filed with the SEC and to participate in the response of the Company to such comments.

1.2(c) The Company shall promptly furnish Purchaser with mailing labels containing the names and addresses of all record holders of Shares and with security position listings of Shares held in stock depositories, each as of a recent date, together with all other available listings and computer files containing names, addresses and security position listings of record holders and beneficial owners of Shares. The Company shall furnish Parent and Purchaser with such additional information, including, without limitation, up-to-date listings and computer files of stockholders, mailing labels and security position listings, and such other assistance in disseminating the Offer Documents to holders of Shares as Parent or

Purchaser may reasonably request. Subject to applicable Legal Requirements, and except for such steps as are necessary to disseminate the Offer Documents and any other documents necessary to consummate the Offer or the Merger, Parent and Purchaser shall hold in confidence the information contained in such labels, listings and files, shall use such information only in connection with the Contemplated Transactions or as otherwise permitted under the Confidentiality Agreement, and, if this Agreement shall be terminated in accordance with Section 8, shall deliver to the Company all copies of such information then in their possession.

1.3 Top Up Option.

1.3(a) The Company hereby grants to Parent and Purchaser an irrevocable option (the “Top-Up Option”) to purchase, in whole but not in part, up to that number of newly issued Shares (the “Top-Up Option Shares”) equal to the number of Shares that, when added to the number of Shares owned by Parent and Purchaser following consummation of the Offer (or, if applicable, any subsequent offering period), shall constitute one Share more than 90% of the Shares then outstanding (after giving effect to the issuance of the Top-Up Option Shares) for consideration per Top-Up Option Share equal to the Per Share Amount.

1.3(b) The Top-Up Option shall be exercisable only once and only after the purchase of or acceptance for payment for Shares pursuant to the Offer (or, if applicable, any subsequent offering period) by Parent or Purchaser as a result of which Parent and Purchaser own beneficially at least a majority of the outstanding Shares on a Fully Diluted Basis. The Top-Up Option shall not be exercisable if the number of Shares subject thereto exceeds the number of authorized Shares available for issuance or if any applicable Legal Requirement or Restraint prohibits the exercise of the Top-Up Option or delivery of the Top-Up Option Shares in respect of such exercise.

1.3(c) In the event that Parent or Purchaser wish to exercise the Top-Up Option, Purchaser shall give the Company one day’s prior written notice specifying the number of Shares that are or will be owned by Parent and Purchaser immediately following consummation of the Offer (or, if applicable, any subsequent offering period) and specifying a place and a time for the closing of the purchase. The Company shall, as soon as practicable following receipt of such notice, deliver written notice to Purchaser specifying the number of Top-Up Option Shares. At the closing of the purchase of the Top-Up Option Shares, an amount equal to the product of (i) the number of Shares purchased pursuant to the Top-Up Option, multiplied by (ii) the Per Share Amount, shall be paid to the Company, at the election of Parent and Purchaser, in cash (by wire transfer or cashier’s check) or by delivery of a promissory note having full recourse to Parent.

1.3(d) In the event of any change in the number of shares of outstanding Company Common Stock by reason of any stock dividend, stock split, recapitalization, combination, exchange of shares, merger, consolidation, reorganization or the like or any other change in the corporate or capital structure of the Company that would have the effect of diluting Parent’s and Purchaser’s rights under the Top-Up Option, the number of Top-Up Option Shares and the Per Share Amount shall be adjusted appropriately so as to restore to Parent and Purchaser their rights hereunder with respect to the Top-Up Option; provided,

however, that nothing in this Section 1.3(d) shall be construed as permitting the Company to take any action or enter into any transaction otherwise prohibited by this Agreement.

1.3(e) Parent and Purchaser acknowledge that the Top-Up Option Shares that Purchaser may acquire pursuant to the Top-Up Option will not be registered under the Securities Act and will be issued in reliance upon an exemption thereunder for transactions not involving a public offering. Parent and Purchaser represent and warrant to the Company that Purchaser is, or will be upon the purchase of the Top-Up Options Shares, an “accredited investor,” as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D under the Securities Act. Purchaser agrees that the Top-Up Option and the Top-Up Option Shares to be acquired upon exercise of the Top-Up Option are being and will be acquired by Purchaser for the purpose of investment and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any distribution thereof (within the meaning of the Securities Act).

SECTION 2: THE MERGER.

2.1 Merger of Purchaser into the Company. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in Section 7 of this Agreement and in accordance with the DGCL, at the Effective Time (as defined in Section 2.3), Purchaser shall be merged with and into the Company, and the separate existence of Purchaser shall cease. Following the Effective Time, the Company shall continue as the surviving corporation (the “Surviving Corporation”).

2.2 Effect of the Merger. The Merger shall have the effects set forth in this Agreement and in the applicable provisions of the DGCL. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and subject thereto, at the Effective Time all the property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of the Company and Purchaser shall vest in the Surviving Corporation, and all debts, liabilities and duties of the Company and Purchaser shall become the debts, liabilities and duties of the Surviving Corporation.

2.3 Closing; Effective Time. The consummation of the Merger (the “Closing”) shall take place at the offices of DLA Piper LLP (US), 2525 East Camelback Road, Suite 1000, Phoenix, Arizona 85016, at 10:00 a.m. on a date to be designated by Parent (the “Closing Date”), which shall be no later than the first business day after the satisfaction or waiver of the last to be satisfied or waived of the conditions set forth in Section 7 (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver of such conditions), or at such other place, date and time as the Company and Parent may agree in writing; provided, however, that if, as of or immediately following the Acceptance Date, the expiration of any “subsequent offering period” pursuant to Section 1.1(c) or the purchase of the Top-Up Option Shares, a Short-Form Merger is available pursuant to Section 6.3(b) and Section 253 of the DGCL, the Closing shall, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Section 7, occur no later than the first business day immediately following the Acceptance Date, the expiration of such “subsequent offering period” or the purchase of the Top-Up Option Shares, as applicable. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, a certificate of merger or a certificate of ownership and merger, as applicable, satisfying the applicable requirements of the DGCL (the “Certificate of Merger”) shall be duly executed by the Company or Purchaser, as applicable, and, simultaneously with or as soon as practicable following the Closing, filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (the

“Secretary of State”). The Merger shall become effective upon the later of: (a) the date and time of the filing of the Certificate of Merger with the Secretary of State, or (b) such later date and time as may be specified in the Certificate of Merger, in accordance with applicable Legal Requirements, with the consent of Parent and the Company. The date and time the Merger becomes effective is referred to in this Agreement as the “Effective Time.”

2.4 Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws; Directors and Officers. At the Effective Time:

2.4(a) the Certificate of Incorporation of the Company shall be amended to read in its entirety in the form attached as EXHIBIT C and, as so amended, shall be the Certificate of Incorporation of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter amended as provided by applicable Legal Requirements and such Certificate of Incorporation;

2.4(b) the Bylaws of the Company shall be amended to read in their entirety in the form attached as EXHIBIT D and, as so amended, shall be the By-laws of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter amended as provided by applicable Legal Requirements, the Certificate of Incorporation of the Surviving Corporation and such By-laws; and

2.4(c) each of the parties hereto shall take all necessary action to cause the directors and officers of the Surviving Corporation immediately after the Effective Time to be those individuals then designated by Parent.

2.5 Conversion of Shares.

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

(i) each Share then held by the Company or any direct or indirect wholly owned Subsidiary of the Company (or held in the Company’s treasury) shall be canceled and shall cease to exist, and no consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor;

(ii) each Share then held by Parent, Purchaser or any other direct or indirect wholly owned Subsidiary of Parent shall be canceled and shall cease to exist, and no consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor;

(iii) except as provided in clauses (i) and (ii) above, each Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than any Dissenting Shares (as hereinafter defined)) shall be canceled and shall be converted automatically into the right to receive an amount equal to the Per Share Amount (the “Merger Consideration”) payable, without interest, to the holder of such Share, upon surrender, in the manner provided in Section 2.7, of the Certificate that formerly evidenced such Share (provided, however, that with respect to any Shares previously issued under the Company Stock Plans (as defined below) or otherwise that, immediately prior to the Effective Time, are subject to vesting conditions or other substantial risk of forfeiture, the Merger Consideration shall be payable with respect thereto in accordance with the vesting schedule (including applicable acceleration provisions, it being understood that, with respect to any “double trigger” acceleration provisions applicable to such

Shares, the consummation of the Offer will constitute the first such trigger thereunder) applicable to such Shares immediately prior to the Effective Time); and

(iv) each share of the common stock, $0.001 par value per share, of Purchaser then outstanding shall be converted into one share of common stock of the Surviving Corporation.

2.5(b) If, between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time, the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock are changed into a different number or class of shares by reason of any stock split, stock dividend, reverse stock split, reclassification, recapitalization or other similar transaction, then the Merger Consideration shall be appropriately adjusted; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 2.5(b) shall be construed as permitting the Company to take any action or enter into any transaction otherwise prohibited by this Agreement.

2.6 Closing of the Company’s Transfer Books. At the Effective Time: (a) all holders of certificates representing Shares that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall cease to have any rights with respect to such Shares other than as provided herein or by applicable Legal Requirements; and (b) the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed with respect to all Shares outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. No further transfer of any such Shares shall be made on such stock transfer books after the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, a valid certificate previously representing any Share (a “Company Stock Certificate”) is properly presented to the Paying Agent (as defined in Section 2.7) or to the Surviving Corporation or Parent, such Company Stock Certificate shall be canceled and shall be exchanged as provided in Section 2.7.

2.7 Surrender of Shares.

2.7(a) On or prior to the Closing Date, Parent shall select a reputable bank or trust company to act as paying agent in the Merger (the “Paying Agent”) to facilitate the receipt by the Company’s stockholders of the Per Share Amount in connection with the Offer and the Merger Consideration in connection with the Merger. Promptly after the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Merger Consideration to be delivered (other than any portion thereof allocable to any Dissenting Shares, which shall be withheld by Parent or the Surviving Corporation to satisfy related appraisal or dissenters rights matters and the costs thereof) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by the Paying Agent (the “Payment Account”). The Paying Agent shall, pursuant to irrevocable instructions, deliver the Merger Consideration contemplated to be paid pursuant to Section 2.5(a)(iii) out of the Payment Account. The Payment Account shall be invested by the Paying Agent as directed by Parent; provided, however, that such investments shall be in obligations of or guaranteed by the United States of America or any agency or instrumentality thereof and backed by the full faith and credit of the United States of America, in commercial paper obligations rated A-1 or P-1 or better by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. or Standard & Poor’s Corporation, respectively, or in certificates of deposit, bank repurchase agreements or banker’s acceptances of commercial banks with capital exceeding $1 billion (based on the most recent financial statements of such bank that are then publicly available).

2.7(b) As soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time, the Paying Agent will mail to the record holders of Company Stock Certificates (i) a letter of transmittal in customary form and containing such provisions as Parent may reasonably specify (including a provision confirming that delivery of Company Stock Certificates shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to Company Stock Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of such Company Stock Certificates to the Paying Agent), and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of Company Stock Certificates in exchange for the Merger Consideration. Upon surrender of a Company Stock Certificate to the Paying Agent, together with a duly executed letter of transmittal and such other documents as may be reasonably required by the Paying Agent or Parent (or, if such shares of Company Common Stock are held in book-entry or other uncertificated form, upon the entry through a book-entry transfer agent of the surrender of such shares on a book-entry account statement (it being understood that any references herein to “Company Stock Certificates” shall be deemed to include references to book-entry account statements relating to the ownership of shares of Company Common Stock)),(A) the holder of such Company Stock Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor the Merger Consideration for each Share formerly evidenced by such Company Stock Certificate, without interest, and (B) the Company Stock Certificate so surrendered shall be canceled. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 2.7(b) and except as set forth in Section 2.9, each Company Stock Certificate shall be deemed, from and after the Effective Time, to represent only the right to receive the Merger Consideration for each Share formerly evidenced by such Company Stock Certificate as contemplated by this Section 2. If any Company Stock Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, Parent may, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the payment of the applicable Merger Consideration with respect to the Shares represented by such Company Stock Certificate, require the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed Company Stock Certificate to provide an appropriate affidavit and to deliver a bond (in such sum as Parent may reasonably direct) as indemnity against any claim that may be made against the Paying Agent, Parent or the Surviving Corporation with respect to such Company Stock Certificate.

2.7(c) Any portion of the Payment Account that remains undistributed to holders of Company Stock Certificates as of the date 180 days after the date on which the Merger becomes effective shall be delivered to Parent upon demand, and any holders of Company Stock Certificates who have not theretofore surrendered their Company Stock Certificates in accordance with this Section 2.7 shall thereafter look only to Parent for satisfaction of their claims for the Merger Consideration payable with respect to any Shares represented by such Company Stock Certificate.

2.7(d) Each of the Paying Agent, Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any consideration payable or otherwise deliverable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder or former holder of Shares such amounts as may be required to be deducted or withheld therefrom under the Code or any provision of state, local or foreign Tax law or under any other applicable Legal Requirement. To the extent such amounts are so deducted or withheld, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes under this Agreement as having been paid to the Person to whom such amounts would otherwise have been paid.

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

2.8 Treatment of Company Options; Employee Stock Purchase Plan.

2.8(a) The Company and Parent shall take all action necessary to ensure, with respect to the Company’s 1995 Employee Stock Option Plan (and related sub-plan for employees and consultants in the United Kingdom), 1995 Non-Employee Directors’ Stock Option Plan, 2004 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan or other governing share-based plan document and/or agreement, including plan documents and/or agreements governing options that have previously been assumed by the Company as a result of corporate acquisition transactions by the Company, as applicable (collectively, and in each case as the same may be amended to the date hereof, the “Company Stock Plans”) and each outstanding option to purchase shares of Company common stock granted under the Company Stock Plans (each, a “Company Option”), that each Company Option that remains outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted at the Effective Time into an option representing the right to acquire, on the same terms and conditions as were applicable under such Company Option (it being understood that, with respect to any such Company Options containing “double trigger” acceleration provisions, the consummation of the Contemplated Transactions (as applicable) will constitute the first such trigger thereunder), the number of shares of Parent common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Parent Common Stock”) (rounded down to the nearest whole share) determined by multiplying the number of Shares subject to such Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time by the Option Exchange Ratio, at an exercise price per share of Parent Common Stock (rounded up to the nearest whole cent) equal to (A) the exercise price per Company Share purchasable pursuant to such Company Option divided by (B) the Option Exchange Ratio. Promptly after the Effective Time (and in any event within ten (10) business days thereafter), Parent shall cause the shares of Parent Common Stock subject to each stock option issued in connection with this Section 2.8(a) to be registered on Form S-8 under the Securities Act or, if not available, on another appropriate form.

2.8(b) Immediately prior to the consummation of the Offer on the Acceptance Date, by virtue of the Offer being consummated and without any action on the part of the holder of any restricted stock unit (“RSU”) of the Company, each RSU outstanding immediately prior to the Acceptance Date shall become fully vested (except that with respect to any RSU which by the terms of the award agreement pursuant to which it was granted provides for a lesser percentage of such RSU to become vested upon the consummation of the Offer, such RSU shall only become vested as to such lesser percentage), and then shall be deemed settled and terminated at the Acceptance Date, and the shares issued upon such settlement shall be deemed tendered in the Offer pursuant to the Tender Agreements, as applicable, and the holder of such vested RSU shall be entitled to receive the Per Share Amount for each share of Company Common Stock into which the vested portion of the RSU would otherwise be convertible.

2.8(c) With respect to the Company’s 1995 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (as amended through the date of this Agreement, the “ESPP”), the Company shall take all action necessary to ensure that (i) participants may not increase their payroll deductions

or purchase elections from those in effect on the date of this Agreement; (ii) no offering or purchase period shall be commenced after the date of this Agreement; (iii) each participant’s rights to purchase shares under the ESPP shall terminate no later than the third (3rd) business day immediately prior to the date on which the Effective Time occurs; provided that all amounts allocated to each participant’s account under the ESPP as of such date shall thereupon be used to purchase from the Company whole Shares at the applicable price determined under the terms of the ESPP for the then outstanding offering periods using such date as the final purchase date for each such offering period; and (iv) the ESPP shall terminate immediately following such termination.

2.8(d) Prior to the Effective Time, the Company and Parent shall take all action required to reflect the transactions contemplated by this Section 2.8 to ensure that, following the Effective Time, no Person other than Parent and its Subsidiaries shall have any right to acquire equity securities of the Company or any Subsidiary thereof.

2.9 Dissenting Shares.

2.9(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 shall have neither voted in favor of the Merger nor consented thereto in writing and who shall have demanded properly in writing appraisal for such Shares in accordance with, and who complies in all respects with, Section 262 of the DGCL (collectively, the “Dissenting Shares”) shall not be converted into, or represent the right to receive, the Merger Consideration. Such stockholders shall be entitled to receive payment of the appraised value of such Shares held by them in accordance with the provisions of such Section 262 (and at the Effective Time such Dissenting Shares shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and shall cease to exist, and such holders shall cease to have any right with respect thereto, except the right to receive the fair value of such Dissenting Shares in accordance with Section 262), except that Dissenting Shares held by stockholders who shall have failed to perfect or who effectively shall have withdrawn or lost their rights to appraisal of such Shares under such Section 262 shall thereupon be deemed to have been converted into, and to have become exchangeable for, as of the Effective Time, the right to receive the Merger Consideration, without any interest thereon, upon surrender, in the manner provided in Section 2.7, of the Company Stock Certificate or Company Stock Certificates that formerly evidenced such Shares.

2.9(b) The Company shall give Parent and Purchaser (i) prompt notice of any demand for appraisal received by the Company, withdrawals of such demands, and any other instruments served pursuant to the DGCL and received by the Company, and (ii) the opportunity to direct 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.

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

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

SECTION 3: REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE COMPANY.

Except as set forth in the Company Disclosure Schedule, the Company represents and warrants to Parent and Purchaser as follows:

3.1 Organization and Good Standing.

3.1(a) The Acquired Corporations are corporations or other Entities duly organized, validly existing, and in good standing under the laws of their respective jurisdictions of incorporation, formation, or organization, with full corporate power or other entity authority to conduct their respective businesses as now being conducted, to own or use the respective properties and assets that they purport to own or use, and to perform all their respective obligations under Acquired Corporation Contracts. Each of the Acquired Corporations is duly qualified to do business as a foreign corporation or other entity and is in good standing under the laws of each state or other jurisdiction in which either the ownership or use of the properties owned or used by it, or the nature of the activities conducted by it, requires such qualification, except where the failure to be so qualified would not reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to have a Material Adverse Effect on the Acquired Corporations.

3.1(b) Part 3.1(b) of the Company Disclosure Schedule lists all Acquired Corporations and indicates as to each the type of entity, its jurisdiction of organization and, except in the case of the Company, its stockholders or other equity holders. Part 3.1(b) of the Company Disclosure Schedule lists, and the Company has made available to Parent copies of, the certificate or articles of incorporation, by-laws and other organizational documents (collectively, “Organizational Documents”) of each of the Acquired Corporations, as currently in effect.

3.2(a) The Company has all necessary corporate power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement, to perform its obligations hereunder and to consummate the Contemplated Transactions. The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Tender Agreements by the Company and the consummation by the Company of the Contemplated Transactions have been duly and validly authorized by all necessary corporate action and no other corporate proceedings on the part of the Company are necessary to authorize this Agreement or to consummate the Contemplated Transactions (other than, with respect to the Merger, the adoption of this Agreement by the holders of a majority of the then-outstanding Shares, if and to the extent required by applicable Legal Requirements, and the filing and recordation of the Certificate of Merger and other documents as required by the DGCL). This Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by the Company and (assuming the due execution and delivery of this Agreement by Parent and Purchaser) constitutes the legal,

valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, subject to the effect of (i) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws now or hereafter in effect relating to rights of creditors generally and (ii) rules of law and equity governing specific performance, injunctive relief and other equitable remedies.

3.2(b) Assuming the accuracy of the representations set forth in Section 4.5, the Company has taken all appropriate actions so that the restrictions on business combinations contained in any Anti-Takeover Law will not apply with respect to or as a result of this Agreement, the Tender Agreements and the Contemplated Transactions, without any further action on the part of the stockholders of the Company or the Company Board. True, correct and complete copies of all resolutions of the Company Board reflecting such actions have been previously provided to Parent. No Anti-takeover Law is applicable to, or purports to be applicable to, the Merger or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

3.2(c) The Company Board, at a meeting duly called and held and at which all directors were present, has unanimously adopted the Board Actions.

3.2(d) The Company Board has duly and validly approved and taken all corporate action required to be taken by the Company Board to grant the Top-Up Option and to issue the Top-Up Option Shares upon the exercise thereof. The Top-Up Option Shares, if and when issued in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and any applicable Legal Requirements unrelated to corporate action of the Company Board, and paid for by Parent or Purchaser in accordance with this Agreement, will be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

3.2(e) The affirmative vote (in person or represented by proxy) at the Stockholders’ Meeting, or at any adjournment or postponement thereof, of a majority of the votes entitled to be cast by the holders of outstanding Shares in favor of the adoption of this Agreement, is (unless the Merger is consummated as a Short-Form Merger in accordance with Section 253 of the DGCL as contemplated by Section 6.3(b)) the only vote or approval of the holders of any class or series of capital stock of the Company or any Subsidiary necessary to adopt this Agreement.

3.2(f) Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the Tender Agreements nor the consummation of any of the Contemplated Transactions do or will, directly or indirectly (with or without notice or lapse of time or both), (i) contravene, conflict with, or result in a violation of (A) any provision of the Organizational Documents of any of the Acquired Corporations, or (B) any resolution adopted by the board of directors or the stockholders of any of the Acquired Corporations; (ii) contravene, conflict with, or result in a violation of any order to which any of the Acquired Corporations, or any of the assets owned or used by any of the Acquired Corporations, is or may be subject; (iii) contravene, conflict with, or result in a violation of any of the terms or requirements of, or give any Governmental Body the right to revoke, withdraw, suspend, cancel, terminate, or modify, any Governmental Authorization that is held by any of the Acquired Corporations, or that otherwise relates to the business of, or any of the assets owned or used by, any of the Acquired Corporations; (iv) contravene, conflict with, or result in a violation or breach of any provision of, or give any

Person the right to declare a default or exercise any remedy under, or to accelerate the maturity or performance of, or to cancel, terminate, or modify, any Material Contract; or (v) result in the imposition or creation of any Encumbrance upon or with respect to any of the assets owned or used by any of the Acquired Corporations, except, in the case of clauses (ii), (iii), (iv), and (v), for any such conflicts, violations, breaches, defaults or other occurrences that would not reasonably be expected to, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect on the Acquired Corporations.

3.2(g) The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Tender Agreements by the Company do not, and the performance of this Agreement and the consummation of the Contemplated Transactions by the Company will not, require any Consent of, or filing with or notification to, any Governmental Body or any other Person, except (i) for (A) applicable requirements, if any, of the Exchange Act, the Securities Act and state securities or “blue sky” laws (“Blue Sky Laws”), (B) the pre-merger notification requirements of the HSR Act, (C) the filing of the Certificate of Merger as required by the DGCL and (D) applicable requirements of applicable non-United States competition, antitrust and investment laws, and (ii) where failure to obtain such Consents, or to make such filings or notifications, would not reasonably be expected to, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect on the Acquired Corporations.

SECTION 6: ADDITIONAL AGREEMENTS.

6.1 No Solicitation.

6.1(a) No Solicitation or Negotiation. Each of the Acquired Corporations shall, and shall cause its respective directors, officers, employees, investment bankers, attorneys, accountants or other advisors or representatives (such directors, officers, employees, investment bankers, attorneys, accountants, other advisors and representatives, collectively, “Representatives”) to (i) immediately cease any discussions or negotiations with any parties that may be ongoing with respect to an Acquisition Proposal and request, not later than five (5) business days following the date hereof, the prompt return or destruction (followed by a written certification of destruction) of all confidential information previously furnished to

such parties or their representatives, and (ii) except as permitted below in this Section 6.1(a), not modify, waive, amend or release any standstill, confidentiality or similar agreements entered into prior to the date hereof or any confidentiality agreement entered into by Acquired Corporation between the date hereof and the Effective Time. From the date of this Agreement until the Effective Time, except as set forth in this Section 6.1, none of the Acquired Corporations shall, nor shall any of them authorize or permit any of its Representatives to, directly or indirectly:

(i) solicit, initiate, or knowingly or intentionally encourage or facilitate, any inquiries, offers or proposals that constitute, or would reasonably be expected to lead to, any Acquisition Proposal, including, without limitation and except as permitted by Section 6.1(c), amending or granting any waiver or release under any standstill or similar agreement with respect to any Company Common Stock; or

(ii) enter into, continue or otherwise participate in any discussions or negotiations regarding, furnish to any Person any non-public information with respect to, assist or participate in any effort or attempt by any Person with respect to, or otherwise knowingly or intentionally cooperate in any way with, any Acquisition Proposal (provided, however, that providing notice of the restrictions set forth in this Section 6.1 to a third party in response to any such inquiry, request or Acquisition Proposal shall not, in and of itself, be deemed a breach of this Section).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, prior to the Acceptance Date, the Company may, to the extent the failure to take such action would be inconsistent with the fiduciary duties of the Company Board under applicable Legal Requirements, as determined in good faith by the Company Board after consultation with outside counsel, in response to an unsolicited, bona fide written Acquisition Proposal made or received after the date of this Agreement that the Company Board determines in good faith after consultation with outside counsel and its financial advisor, if any, is reasonably likely to lead to a Superior Proposal and that did not result from a breach by the Company of, or actions by its Representatives inconsistent with, this Section, and subject to compliance with Section 6.1(c), (x) furnish non-public information with respect to the Acquired Corporations to the Person making such Acquisition Proposal and its Representatives and (y) participate in discussions or negotiations with such Person and its Representatives regarding such Acquisition Proposal, if, in the case of either clause (x) or (y), prior to taking such action the Company enters into an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement. In addition, prior to the Acceptance Date, the Company may, to the extent required by the fiduciary duties of the Company Board under applicable Legal Requirements, as determined in good faith by the Company Board after consultation with outside counsel, waive standstill provisions in effect with a third party whose identity has been disclosed to Parent, in response to an unsolicited request from such third party for such a waiver, provided such party has either made a Superior Proposal or has expressed to the Company an intention to make an Acquisition Proposal that the Company Board determines in good faith after consultation with outside counsel and its financial advisor, if any, is reasonably likely to lead to a Superior Proposal.

Promptly following the execution of this Agreement, the Company shall instruct its Representatives as to the restrictions set forth in this Section 6.1(a) and direct them to comply with its provisions and shall thereafter use its reasonable best efforts to assure that the Company Representatives comply with such instructions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is agreed that

any violation of the restrictions set forth in this Section 6.1(a) by any Representative of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, whether or not such Person is purporting to act on behalf of the Company or otherwise, shall be deemed to be a breach of this Section 6.1(a) by the Company.

6.1(b) No Change in Recommendation or Alternative Acquisition Agreement. Neither the Company Board nor any committee thereof shall:

(i) fail to include the Recommendation in the Schedule 14D-9 or, except as set forth in this Section, withdraw, qualify or modify, or publicly announce its intention to withdraw, qualify or modify, in a manner adverse to Parent or the Purchaser, the approval, Recommendation or declaration of advisability by the Company Board or any such committee of the Company Board of the adoption of this Agreement or the Contemplated Transactions contemplated hereby (an “Adverse Recommendation Change”);

(ii) adopt, approve or recommend, or publicly announce its intention to adopt, approve or recommend, any Acquisition Proposal; or

(iii) authorize, cause or permit any of the Acquired Corporations to enter into any letter of intent, memorandum of understanding, agreement in principle, acquisition agreement, merger agreement or similar agreement (an “Alternative Acquisition Agreement”) constituting or relating to any Acquisition Proposal (other than a confidentiality agreement referred to in Section 6.1(a) entered into in the circumstances referred to in Section 6.1(a)).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time prior to the Acceptance Date and subject to compliance with Section 6.1(c), the Company Board may, in response to an Acquisition Proposal that the Company Board determines in good faith (after consultation with its outside counsel and its financial advisor, if any) constitutes a Superior Proposal and that was made after the date hereof and that was unsolicited after the date hereof and that did not otherwise result from a breach of this Section 6.1, make an Adverse Recommendation Change if the Company Board has concluded in good faith, after consultation with its outside counsel, that, in light of such Superior Proposal, the failure of the Company Board to effect an Adverse Recommendation Change would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Legal Requirements; provided, however, that the Company shall not be entitled to exercise its right to make an Adverse Recommendation Change pursuant to this sentence unless the Company has: (A) complied in all material respects with this Section, (B) provided to Parent five (5) business days’ (unless the Superior Proposal arises fewer than five (5) business days prior to the Acceptance Date) prior written notice (such notice, a “Notice of Superior Proposal,” which notice shall not be deemed to be an Adverse Recommendation Change) advising Parent that the Company Board intends to take such action and specifying the reasons therefor, including the material terms and conditions of any Superior Proposal that is the basis of the proposed action by the Company Board and the identity of the Person making the proposal (it being understood and agreed that any amendment to the financial terms or any material amendment to any other material term of any such Superior Proposal shall require a new Notice of Superior Proposal and a new three (3) business day period (unless the amendment to the Superior Proposal arises fewer than three (3) business days prior to the Acceptance Date)), (C) during such five (5) business day period (or

three (3) business day period in the case of an amendment), if requested by Parent, engaged in good faith negotiations with Parent to amend this Agreement in such a manner that any Acquisition Proposal which was determined to constitute a Superior Proposal no longer is a Superior Proposal and (D) at the end of such five (5) business day period (or three (3) business day period in the case of an amendment) or shorter period, if applicable, such Acquisition Proposal has not been withdrawn and continues to constitute a Superior Proposal (taking into account any changes to the terms of this Agreement proposed by Parent following a Notice of Superior Proposal, as a result of the negotiations required by clause (C) or otherwise).

In addition, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 6.1, at any time prior to the Acceptance Date the Company Board may, in response to a material development or change in circumstances occurring or arising after the date hereof that was neither known to the Company Board nor reasonably foreseeable as of or prior to the date hereof (and not relating to any Acquisition Proposal) (such material development or change in circumstances, an “Intervening Event”), make an Adverse Recommendation Change if the Company Board has concluded in good faith, after consultation with its outside counsel, that, in light of such Intervening Event, the failure of the Company Board to effect such an Adverse Recommendation Change would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Legal Requirements; provided that, the Company Board shall not be entitled to exercise its right to make an Adverse Recommendation Change pursuant to this sentence unless the Company has (x) provided to Parent at least three (3) business days’ prior written notice (unless the Intervening Event arises fewer than three (3) business days prior to the Acceptance Date) advising Parent that the Company Board intends to take such action and specifying the reasons therefor in reasonable detail and (y) during such three (3) business day period, if requested by Parent, engaged in good faith negotiations with Parent to amend this Agreement in such a manner that obviates the need for an Adverse Recommendation Change as a result of the Intervening Event. Any Adverse Recommendation Change shall not change the approval of this Agreement or any other approval of the Company Board, including in any respect that would have the effect of causing any Anti-Takeover Law to be applicable to the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, including the Offer and the Merger.

Nothing in this Section 6.1 shall be deemed to (A) permit the Company to take any action described in clauses (ii) or (iii) of the first sentence of this Section 6.1(b), or (B) affect any obligation of the Company under this Agreement or (C) except upon a termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(d)(iii), limit the Company’s obligation to call, give notice of, convene and hold the Stockholders’ Meeting, regardless of whether the Company Board has withdrawn or modified its Recommendation.

6.1(c) Notices to Parent; Additional Negotiations. The Company, upon gaining Knowledge of any Acquisition Proposal or any request for nonpublic information in connection with any Acquisition Proposal or of any inquiry with respect to, or that would reasonably be expected to lead to, any Acquisition Proposal, shall promptly advise Parent orally, with written confirmation to follow promptly (and in any event within 24 hours) thereafter, of such Acquisition Proposal, request, or inquiry, the material terms and conditions of any such Acquisition Proposal or inquiry and the identity of the Person making any such Acquisition Proposal or inquiry. The Company shall not provide any information to or participate in discussions or negotiations with the Person making any Acquisition Proposal until

after the Company has first notified Parent of such Acquisition Proposal as required by the preceding sentence. The Company shall keep Parent reasonably informed in all material respects of the status of any such Acquisition Proposal and shall (i) promptly notify Parent if it has begun to furnish information to, or to participate in discussions or negotiations with, a Person making any such Acquisition Proposal or inquiry and shall promptly advise Parent orally, with written confirmation to follow promptly (and in any event within 24 hours), of any material change in the terms of any such Acquisition Proposal or inquiry, (ii) provide to Parent as soon as practicable after receipt or delivery thereof copies of all correspondence, documents, agreements and other written material (including any amendments, supplements or modifications thereto) sent or provided to the Company from any third party in connection with any Acquisition Proposal (provided that the Company may redact any information in such written material containing solely confidential and non-public information of such third party) and (iii) if Parent shall make a counterproposal (including, without limitation, following delivery of a written Notice of Superior Proposal to Parent pursuant to Section 6.1(b)), consider and cause its financial and legal advisors to consider in good faith the terms of such counterproposal. Contemporaneously with providing any correspondence, other written materials or other nonpublic information to a third party in connection with any such Superior Proposal or inquiry, the Company shall furnish a copy of such information to Parent (to the extent not already previously provided). None of the Acquired Corporations shall enter into any confidentiality agreement with any Person subsequent to the date hereof which prohibits the Company from providing such information to Parent.

6.2 Certain Permitted Disclosure. Nothing contained in Section 6.1 or in Section 6.3 or otherwise contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to prohibit the Company from taking and disclosing to its stockholders a position with respect to a tender offer contemplated by Rule 14d-9 or Rule 14e-2(a) promulgated under the Exchange Act or from making any required disclosure to the Company’s stockholders if, in the good faith judgment of the Company Board, after consultation with outside counsel, failure to so disclose would be required under applicable Legal Requirements.

6.3 Stockholders and Stockholders’ Meeting.

6.3(a) If required by applicable Legal Requirements in order to consummate the Merger, the Company, acting through the Company Board, shall take all actions in accordance with applicable Legal Requirements, the Organizational Documents and the rules of The NASDAQ Stock Market to promptly and duly call, give notice of, convene and hold the Stockholders’ Meeting for the purpose of considering and voting upon the Voting Proposal (as defined below); provided, that the record date for determining stockholders entitled to vote at any such Stockholders’ Meeting shall be after the Acceptance Date (or, if applicable, after the expiration of any “subsequent offering period” pursuant to Section 1.1(c)), and, if the Top-Up Option is exercised by Parent, after the date on which the closing of the purchase of the Top-Up Option Shares occurs pursuant to Section 1.3. Subject to Section 6.1(b), to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, (i) the Company Board shall recommend that the stockholders of the Company vote to adopt this Agreement (the “Voting Proposal”) and include the Recommendation in the Proxy Statement, and (ii) neither the Company Board nor any committee thereof shall withdraw or modify, or propose or resolve to withdraw or modify in a manner adverse to Parent, the Recommendation. The Company shall take all action that is both

reasonable and lawful to solicit from its stockholders proxies in favor of the Voting Proposal and shall take all other action necessary or advisable to secure the vote or consent of the stockholders of the Company required by the rules of The NASDAQ Global Market or the DGCL to obtain such approvals.

6.3(b) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, but subject to Section 7, if, as of immediately following the Acceptance Date, the expiration of any “subsequent offering period” pursuant to Section 1.1(c), the purchase, if applicable, of the Top-Up Option Shares, and, if necessary, the expiration of the period for guaranteed delivery of Shares in the Offer, Parent or any direct or indirect Subsidiary of Parent, taken together, shall own at least 90% of the total outstanding shares of Company Common Stock, the parties hereto shall, subject to Section 7 hereof, take all necessary and appropriate action to cause the Merger to become effective as soon as practicable after the satisfaction of such threshold, without a meeting of the stockholders of the Company, in accordance with Section 253 of the DGCL (such Merger, a “Short-Form Merger”).

6.3(c) Parent and Purchaser agree to vote, or cause to be voted, all Shares owned by them (or any Subsidiary) in favor of the Voting Proposal, unless the Merger is consummated as a Short-Form Merger pursuant to Section 253 of the DGCL.

6.4 Proxy Statement.

6.4(a) If approval of the Company’s stockholders is required by applicable Legal Requirements to consummate the Merger, promptly following consummation of the Offer (or, if applicable, after the expiration of any “subsequent offering period” pursuant to Section 1.1(c)), the Company shall (i) prepare and file the Proxy Statement with the SEC under the Exchange Act, (ii) mail to the holders of Shares a Proxy Statement within a sufficient time prior to the Stockholders’ Meeting and (iii) otherwise comply in all material respects with all Legal Requirements applicable to the Stockholders’ Meeting, and shall use its reasonable efforts to have the Proxy Statement cleared by the SEC promptly.

The Company shall give Parent and its counsel a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on the Proxy Statement prior to such documents being filed with the SEC or disseminated to holders of Shares and shall give Parent and its counsel a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on all responses to requests for additional information and replies to comments prior to their being filed with, or sent to, the SEC. Each of the Company, Parent and Purchaser agrees to use its reasonable efforts, after consultation with the other parties hereto, to respond promptly to all such comments of and requests by the SEC and to cause the Proxy Statement and all required amendments and supplements thereto to be mailed to the holders of Shares entitled to vote at the Stockholders’ Meeting at the earliest practicable time.

6.4(b) The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to ensure that the Proxy Statement (i) will not, on the date it is first mailed to stockholders of the

Company and at the time of the Stockholders’ Meeting, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading and (ii) will comply as to form in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Exchange Act.

6.4(c) Parent and the Company shall promptly make all necessary filings with respect to the Merger under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, applicable Blue Sky Laws and the rules and regulations thereunder.

6.5 Company Board Representation; Section 14(f).

6.5(a) Subject to compliance with applicable Legal Requirements, promptly upon the acceptance for payment of any Shares by Parent or Purchaser or any of their affiliates pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of the Offer (the “Appointment Time”) and from time to time thereafter, and subject to Section 6.5(c), Purchaser shall be entitled to designate up to such number of directors, rounded up to the nearest whole number constituting at least a majority of the directors, on the Company Board as will give Purchaser representation on the Company Board equal to the product of the number of directors on the Company Board (giving effect to any increase in the number of directors pursuant to this Section 6.5) and the percentage that such number of Shares beneficially owned by Parent or its Affiliates bears to the total number of Shares then outstanding, and the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to, upon Parent’s request, promptly, at Parent’s election, either increase the size of the Board or seek and accept the resignation of such number of directors as is necessary to enable Parent’s designees to be elected or appointed to the Board and to cause Parent’s designees to be so elected or appointed. At such times, subject to Section 6.5(c), the Company will cause individuals designated by Parent to constitute the number of members of each committee of the Board, rounded up to the next whole number, that represents the same percentage as such individuals represent on the Board, other than any committee of the Board established to take action under this Agreement which committee shall be composed only of Independent Directors (as defined in Section 6.5(c)).

6.5(b) The Company’s obligation to appoint designees to the Company Board shall be subject to Section 14(f) of the Exchange Act and Rule 14f-1 thereunder. The Company shall promptly take all action required pursuant to Section 14(f) of the Exchange Act and Rule 14f-1 thereunder in order to fulfill its obligations under this Section 6.5, and shall include in the Schedule 14D-9 such information with respect to the Company and its officers and directors as is required pursuant to Section 14(f) of the Exchange Act and Rule 14f-1 thereunder in order to fulfill its obligations under this Section 6.5 and applicable Legal Requirements.

Parent shall provide to the Company, and shall be solely responsible for, the information and consents with respect to Parent and its designees, officers, directors and affiliates required by Section 14(f) of the Exchange Act and Rule 14f-1 thereunder.

6.5(c) In the event that Parent’s designees are elected or designated to the Board, then, until the Effective Time, the Company shall cause the Board to have at least three directors who are members of the Company Board as of the date of this Agreement and are independent directors for purposes of the continued listing requirements of The NASDAQ Stock Market (such directors, the “Independent Directors”); provided, however, that, if any Independent Director is unable to serve due to death or disability or any other reason, the remaining Independent Directors shall be entitled to elect or designate another individual (or individuals) (provided, that no such individual is an employee of the Company or the Subsidiaries) to fill the vacancy, and such director (or directors) shall be deemed to be an Independent Director (or Independent Directors) for purposes of this Agreement. If no Independent Director remains prior to the Effective Time, a majority of the members of the Board at the time of the execution of this Agreement shall be entitled to designate three persons to fill such vacancies; provided, that such individuals shall not be employees or officers of the Company, Parent or Purchaser, and shall be reasonably satisfactory to Parent, and such persons shall be deemed Independent Directors for purposes of this Agreement. Following the Appointment Time and prior to the Effective Time, any amendment or termination of this Agreement, any amendment to the Organizational Documents of any Acquired Corporation, any extension by the Company of the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of Purchaser or Parent, any exercise of rights under this Agreement by the Company, any waiver of any of the Company’s rights under this Agreement, or any action adversely affecting the rights of the stockholders (other than Parent or Purchaser), shall not to be effected without the affirmative vote of a majority of the Independent Directors.

6.6 Access to Information. The Acquired Corporations shall afford to Parent’s officers, employees, accountants, counsel and other representatives, reasonable access (subject to applicable Legal Requirements regarding the sharing of information), during normal business hours and upon reasonable notice during the period prior to the Effective Time (or termination of this Agreement), to its properties, books, contracts, commitments, personnel and records for purposes of conducting due diligence in a manner customary for transactions of this type. Any investigation conducted pursuant to the access contemplated by this Section 6.6 shall be conducted in a manner that does not unreasonably interfere with the conduct of the business of the Acquired Corporations or create a risk of damage or destruction to any property or assets of the Acquired Corporations. During such period, each of the Acquired Corporations shall furnish promptly to Parent (a) a copy of each report, schedule, registration statement and other document filed or received by it during such period pursuant to the requirements of federal or state securities laws and (b) all other information concerning its business, properties, assets and personnel as Parent may reasonably request. Parent will hold any such information which is nonpublic in confidence in accordance with the Confidentiality Agreement. No information or knowledge obtained in any investigation pursuant to this Section or otherwise shall affect or be deemed to modify any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement or the conditions to the obligations of the parties to consummate the Merger. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that providing Parent or Purchaser (i) access to any documents or information of the Acquired Corporations would risk waiver of any attorney-client privilege, work product doctrine

or other applicable privilege applicable to such documents or information or (ii) access to a contract to which any of the Acquired Corporations is a party or otherwise bound would violate or cause a default under, or give a third party the right terminate or accelerate the rights under, such contract, then the Acquired Corporations will reasonably cooperate with Parent and Purchaser to provide them relevant information with respect to such documents, information, or contracts in a manner that does not cause any such waiver, violation or default, or give rise to any such right of termination or acceleration.

6.7 Legal Conditions to the Contemplated Transactions.

6.7(a) Subject to the terms hereof, including Section 6.7(b), the Company and Parent shall each use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and do, or cause to be done, and to assist and cooperate with the other parties in doing, all things necessary, proper or advisable to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated hereby as promptly as practicable, (ii) as promptly as practicable, obtain from any Governmental Body or any other third party any consents, licenses, permits, waivers, approvals, authorizations, or orders required to be obtained or made by the Acquired Corporations or Parent in connection with the authorization, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, (iii) as promptly as practicable, make all necessary filings, and thereafter make any other required submissions, with respect to this Agreement, the Offer and the Merger required under (A) the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and any other applicable federal or state securities laws, (B) to the extent set forth on Part 6.7 of the Company Disclosure Schedule, the HSR Act, any foreign antitrust laws or regulations, and any related governmental request thereunder, and (C) any other applicable Legal Requirements, and (iv) execute or deliver any additional instruments necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated by, and to fully carry out the purposes of, this Agreement. The Company and Parent shall cooperate with each other in connection with the making of all such filings (subject to applicable Legal Requirements regarding the sharing of information), including providing copies of all such documents to the non-filing party and its advisors with a reasonable opportunity for review prior to filing and, if requested, accepting all reasonable additions, deletions or changes suggested in connection therewith. The Company and Parent shall each use commercially reasonable efforts (subject to applicable Legal Requirements regarding the sharing of information) to furnish to each other all information required for any application or other filing to be made pursuant to the rules and regulations of any applicable Legal Requirements (including all information required to be included in the Proxy Statement) in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, Parent and the Company agree that nothing contained in this Section 6.7(a) shall modify or affect their respective rights and responsibilities under Section 6.7(b).

6.7(b) Subject to the terms hereof, Parent and the Company agree, and shall cause each of their respective Subsidiaries, to cooperate and to use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any government clearances, approvals, actions, or non actions required for the Contemplated Transactions under the HSR Act, the Sherman Act, as amended, the Clayton Act, as amended, the Federal Trade Commission Act, as amended, and any other federal, state or foreign law, regulation or decree designed to prohibit, restrict or regulate actions for the purpose or effect of monopolization or restraint of trade and/or competition (collectively, “Antitrust Laws”), to respond to any government requests for information under any Antitrust

Law, and to contest and resist any action, including any legislative, administrative or judicial action, and to have vacated, lifted, reversed or overturned any decree, judgment, injunction or other order (whether temporary, preliminary or permanent) that restricts, prevents or prohibits, or threatens to restrict, prevent or prohibit, the consummation of the Offer or the Merger or any other transactions contemplated by this Agreement under any Antitrust Law. The parties hereto will consult and cooperate with one another, and consider in good faith the views of one another, in connection with any analyses, appearances, presentations, memoranda, briefs, arguments, opinions and proposals made or submitted by or on behalf of any party hereto in connection with proceedings under or relating to any Antitrust Law.

From and

after the Effective Time, Parent or the Surviving Corporation shall permit all employees of the Company who remain employees of the Surviving Corporation following the Effective Time (the “Continuing Employees”) to participate in the benefit plans, programs, and arrangements of Parent and the Surviving Corporation (the “Parent Plans”) to the same extent as similarly situated employees of Parent or its Subsidiaries. Without limiting the foregoing, for a period of one (1) year following the Effective Time, Parent shall provide or cause to be provided to each Continuing Employee who is not a participant in the Company’s executive severance plan severance benefits that are equal to the severance benefits that would be provided by the Company to such Continuing Employee on the date of this Agreement.

3. This Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation restates, integrates and amends the Certificate of Incorporation of the corporation as herein set forth in full:

FIRST: The name of the corporation is:

California Micro Devices Corporation (the “Corporation”).

SECOND: The address of its registered office in the State of Delaware is 3500 South DuPont Highway in the City of Dover, County of Kent. The name of its registered agent at such address is Incorporating Services, Ltd.

THIRD: The nature of the business or purposes to be conducted or promoted is to engage in any lawful act or activity for which corporations may be organized under the General Corporation Law of Delaware.

FOURTH: The corporation is authorized to issue one class of stock, to be designated “Common Stock,” with a par value of $0.001 per share. The total number of shares of Common Stock that the corporation shall have authority to issue is 100.

FIFTH: The business and affairs of the corporation shall be managed by or under the direction of the Board of Directors. In addition to the powers and authority expressly conferred upon them by statute or by this Certificate of Incorporation or the Bylaws of the corporation, the directors are hereby empowered to exercise all such powers and do all such acts and things as may be exercised or done by the corporation. Election of directors need not be by written ballot, unless the Bylaws so provide.

SIXTH: The Board of Directors is authorized to make, adopt, amend, alter or repeal the Bylaws of the corporation. The stockholders shall also have power to make, adopt, amend, alter or repeal the Bylaws of the corporation.

SEVENTH:

(1) Exculpation. To the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, as the same exists or as may hereafter be amended, a director of the Corporation shall not be personally liable to the Corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director. If the Delaware

Corporation Law hereafter is amended to further eliminate or limit the liability of directors, then the liability of a director of the Corporation, in addition to the limitation on personal liability provided herein, shall be limited to the fullest extent permitted by the amended DGCL. Any repeal or modification of this paragraph by the stockholders of the Corporation shall be prospective only and shall not adversely affect any limitation on the personal liability of a director of the Corporation existing at the time of such repeal or modification.

(2) Indemnification.

(a) Right to Indemnification. Each person who was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is otherwise involved in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or otherwise (hereinafter a “proceeding”), by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director or officer of the Corporation or, while serving as a director or officer of the Corporation, is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to an employee benefit plan (hereinafter an “indemnitee”), whether the basis of such proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity as a director, officer, employee or agent or in any other capacity while serving as a director, officer, employee or agent, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Corporation to the fullest extent authorized by the DGCL, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended (but, in the case of any such amendment, except as may be prohibited by applicable law, only to the extent that such amendment permits the Corporation to provide broader indemnification rights than permitted prior thereto), against all expense, liability and loss (including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties and amounts paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by such indemnitee in connection therewith and such indemnification shall continue as to an indemnitee who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the indemnitee’s heirs, executors and administrators; provided, however, that, except as provided in subsection 2(c) below of this Article SEVENTH with respect to proceedings to enforce rights to indemnification, the Corporation shall indemnify any such indemnitee in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such indemnitee only if such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the board of directors of the Corporation.

(b) Right to Advancement of Expenses. The right to indemnification conferred in paragraph (a) of this Section 2 shall include the right to be paid by the Corporation the expenses incurred in defending any proceeding for which such right to indemnification is applicable in advance of its final disposition (hereinafter an “advancement of expenses”); provided, however, that, if the DGCL requires, an advancement of expenses incurred by an indemnitee in his or her capacity as a director or officer (and not in any other capacity in which service was or is rendered by such indemnitee, including, without limitation, service to an employee benefit plan) shall be made only upon delivery to the Corporation of an undertaking (hereinafter an “undertaking”), by or on behalf of such indemnitee, to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined by final judicial decision from which there is no further right to appeal (hereinafter a “final adjudication”) that such indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified for such expenses under this Section or otherwise.

(c) Right of Indemnitee to Bring Suit. The rights to indemnification and to the advancement of expenses conferred in subsections 2(a) and 2(b) of this Article SEVENTH shall be contract rights. If a claim under subsections 2(a) and 2(b) of this Article SEVENTH is not paid in full by the Corporation within sixty (60) days after a written claim has been received by the Corporation, except in the case of a claim for an advancement of expenses, in which case the applicable period shall be twenty (20) days, the indemnitee may at any time thereafter bring suit against the Corporation to recover the unpaid amount of the claim. If successful in whole or in part in any such suit, or in a suit brought by the Corporation to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the indemnitee shall be

entitled to be paid also the expense of prosecuting or defending such suit. In (i) any suit brought by the indemnitee to enforce a right to indemnification hereunder (but not in a suit brought by the indemnitee to enforce a right to an advancement of expenses) it shall be a defense that, and (ii) any suit by the Corporation to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the Corporation shall be entitled to recover such expenses upon a final adjudication that, the indemnitee has not met any applicable standard for indemnification set forth in the DGCL. Neither the failure of the Corporation (including its board of directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such suit that indemnification of the indemnitee is proper in the circumstances because the indemnitee has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the DGCL, nor an actual determination by the Corporation (including its board of directors, independent legal counsel or its stockholders) that the indemnitee has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall create a presumption that the indemnitee has not met the applicable standard of conduct or, in the case of such a suit brought by the indemnitee, be a defense to such suit. In any suit brought by the indemnitee to enforce a right to indemnification or to an advancement of expenses hereunder, or by the Corporation to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the burden of proving that the indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified, or to such advancement of expenses, under this Section or otherwise shall be on the Corporation.

(d) Non-Exclusivity of Rights. The rights to indemnification and to the advancement of expenses conferred in this Section shall not be exclusive of any other right which any Person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, the Corporation’s certificate of incorporation, bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.

(e) Insurance. The Corporation may maintain insurance, at its expense, to protect itself and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation or another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any expense, liability or loss, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify such Person against such expense, liability or loss under the DGCL.

(f) Indemnification of Employees and Agents of the Corporation. The Corporation may, to the extent authorized from time to time by the board of directors, grant rights to indemnification, and to the advancement of expenses to any employee or agent of the Corporation to the fullest extent of the provisions of this Section with respect to the indemnification and advancement of expenses of directors and officers of the Corporation.

(g) Amendment. Neither any amendment nor repeal of this Article SEVENTH, nor the adoption of any provision of the Corporation’s Certificate of Incorporation inconsistent with this Article SEVENTH, shall eliminate or reduce the effect of this Article SEVENTH in respect of any matter occurring, or action or proceeding accruing or arising or that, but for this Article SEVENTH, would accrue or arise, prior to such amendment, repeal or adoption of an inconsistent provision.

ARTICLE I

STOCKHOLDERS

1.1 Place of Meetings. All meetings of stockholders shall be held at such place within or without the State of Delaware as may be designated from time to time by the Board of Directors or the President and Chief Executive Officer.

1.2 Annual Meeting. The annual meeting of stockholders for the election of directors and for the transaction of such other business as may properly be brought before the meeting shall be held on a date to be fixed by the Board of Directors at the time and place to be fixed by the Board of Directors and stated in the notice of the meeting.

1.3 Special Meetings. Special meetings of stockholders may be called at any time by the Board of Directors, the Chairman of the Board or the President or the holders of record of not less than 10% of all shares entitled to cast votes at the meeting, for any purpose or purposes prescribed in the notice of the meeting and shall be held at such place, on such date and at such time as the Board may fix. Business transacted at any special meeting of stockholders shall be confined to the purpose or purposes stated in the notice of meeting.

1.4 Notice of Meetings. Written notice of each meeting of stockholders, whether annual or special, shall be given not less than 10 nor more than 60 days before the date on which the meeting is to be held, to each stockholder entitled to vote at such meeting, except as otherwise provided herein or as required by law (meaning here and hereafter, as required from time to time by the Delaware General Corporation Law or the Certificate of Incorporation). The notices of all meetings shall state the place, date and hour of the meeting. The notice of a special meeting shall state, in addition, the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called. If mailed, notice is given when deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid, directed to the stockholder at his address as it appears on the records of the corporation.

1.5 Voting List. The officer who has charge of the stock ledger of the corporation shall prepare, at least 10 days before each meeting of stockholders, a complete list of the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting, arranged in alphabetical order, and showing the address of each stockholder and the number of shares registered in the name of each stockholder. Such list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder, for any purpose germane to the meeting, during ordinary business hours, for a period of at least 10 days prior to the meeting, at a place within the city where the meeting is to be held, which place shall be specified in the notice of the meeting, or if not so specified, at the place where the meeting is to be held. The list shall also be produced and kept at the time and place of the meeting during the whole time of the meeting, and may be inspected by any stockholder who is present. This list shall determine the identity of the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting and the number of shares held by each of them.

1.6 Quorum. Except as otherwise provided by law or these Bylaws, the holders of a majority of the shares of the capital stock of the corporation entitled to vote at the meeting, present in person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. If a quorum shall fail to attend any meeting, the chairman of the meeting or the holders

of a majority of the shares of stock entitled to vote who are present, in person or by proxy, may adjourn the meeting to another place, date or time.

1.7 Adjournments. Any meeting of stockholders may be adjourned to any other time and to any other place at which a meeting of stockholders may be held under these Bylaws by the Chairman of the meeting or, in the absence of such person, by any officer entitled to preside at or to act as Secretary of such meeting, or by the holders of a majority of the shares of stock present or represented at the meeting and entitled to vote, although less than a quorum. When a meeting is adjourned to another place, date or time, written notice need not be given of the adjourned meeting if the place, date and time thereof are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken; provided, however, that if the date of any adjourned meeting is more than 30 days after the date for which the meeting was originally noticed, or if a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, written notice of the place, date, and time of the adjourned meeting shall be given in conformity herewith. At the adjourned meeting, the corporation may transact any business which might have been transacted at the original meeting.

1.8 Voting and Proxies. Each stockholder shall have one vote for each share of stock entitled to vote held of record by such stockholder and a proportionate vote for each fractional share so held, unless otherwise provided by law or in the Certificate of Incorporation. Each stockholder of record entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders may vote in person or may authorize any other person or persons to vote or act for him by written proxy executed by the stockholder or his authorized agent or by a transmission permitted by law and delivered to the Secretary of the corporation. No stockholder may authorize more than one proxy for his shares. Any copy, facsimile transmission or other reliable reproduction of the writing or transmission created pursuant to this Section may be substituted or used in lieu of the original writing or transmission for any and all purposes for which the original writing or transmission could be used, provided that such copy, facsimile transmission or other reproduction shall be a complete reproduction of the entire original writing or transmission.

1.9 Action at Meeting. When a quorum is present at any meeting, any election shall be determined by a plurality of the votes cast by the stockholders entitled to vote at the election, and all other matters shall be determined by a majority of the votes cast affirmatively or negatively on the matter (or if there are two or more classes of stock entitled to vote as separate classes, then in the case of each such class, a majority of each such class present or represented and voting affirmatively or negatively on the matter) shall decide such matter, except when a different vote is required by express provision of law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws.

All voting, including on the election of directors, but excepting where otherwise required by law, may be by a voice vote; provided, however, that upon demand therefor by a stockholder entitled to vote or his or her proxy, a stock vote shall be taken. Every stock vote shall be taken by ballot, each of which shall state the name of the stockholder or proxy voting and such other information as may be required under the procedure established for the meeting. Every vote taken by ballot shall be counted by an inspector or inspectors appointed by the chairman of the meeting. The corporation may, and to the extent required by law, shall, in advance of any meeting of stockholders, appoint one or more inspectors to act at the meeting and make a written report thereof. The corporation may designate one or more persons as an alternate inspector to replace any inspector who fails to act. If no inspector or alternate is able to act at a meeting of

stockholders, the person presiding at the meeting may, and to the extent required by law, shall, appoint one or more inspectors to act at the meeting. Each inspector, before entering upon the discharge of his duties, shall take and sign an oath to faithfully execute the duties of inspector with strict impartiality and according to the best of his or her ability.

1.10 Stockholder Action Without Meeting. Any action which may be taken at any annual or special meeting of stockholders may be taken without a meeting and without prior notice, if a consent in writing, setting forth the actions so taken, is signed by the holders of outstanding shares having not less than the minimum number of votes which would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted. All such consents shall be filed with the Secretary of the corporation and shall be maintained in the corporate records. Prompt notice of the taking of a corporate action without a meeting by less than unanimous written consent shall be given to those stockholders who have not consented in writing.

An electronic transmission consenting to an action to be taken and transmitted by a stockholder, or by a proxy holder or other person authorized to act for a stockholder, shall be deemed to be written, signed and dated for the purpose of this Section 1.10, provided that such electronic transmission sets forth or is delivered with information from which the corporation can determine (i) that the electronic transmission was transmitted by the stockholder or by a person authorized to act for the stockholder and (ii) the date on which such stockholder or authorized person transmitted such electronic transmission. The date on which such electronic transmission is transmitted shall be deemed to be the date on which such consent was signed. No consent given by electronic transmission shall be deemed to have been delivered until such consent is reproduced in paper form and until such paper form shall be delivered to the corporation by delivery to its principal place of business or an officer or agent of the corporation having custody of the books in which proceedings of meetings of stockholders are recorded.

1.11 Meetings by Remote Communication. If authorized by the Board of Directors, and subject to such guidelines and procedures as the Board may adopt, stockholders and proxy holders not physically present at a meeting of stockholders may, by means of remote communication, participate in the meeting and be deemed present in person and vote at the meeting, whether such meeting is to be held at a designated place or solely by means of remote communication, provided that (i) the corporation shall implement reasonable measures to verify that each person deemed present and permitted to vote at the meeting by means of remote communication is a stockholder or proxy holder, (ii) the corporation shall implement reasonable measures to provide such stockholders and proxy holders a reasonable opportunity to participate in the meeting and to vote on matters submitted to the stockholders, including an opportunity to read or hear the proceedings of the meeting substantially concurrently with such proceedings, and (iii) if any stockholder or proxy holder votes or takes other action at the meeting by means of remote communication, a record of such vote or other action shall be maintained by the corporation.

2.2 Number and Term of Office. The number of directors shall initially be two (2) and, thereafter, shall be fixed from time to time exclusively by the Board of Directors pursuant to a resolution adopted by a majority of the total number of authorized directors (whether or not there exist any vacancies in previously authorized directorships at the time any such resolution is presented to the Board for adoption). All directors shall hold office until the next annual meeting of stockholders and until their respective successors are elected, except in the case of the death, resignation or removal of any director.

2.3 Vacancies and Newly Created Directorships. Subject to the rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock then outstanding, newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the authorized number of directors or any vacancies in the Board of Directors resulting from death, resignation, retirement, disqualification or other cause (other than removal from office by a vote of the stockholders) may be filled only by a majority vote of the directors then in office, though less than a quorum, or by the sole remaining director, and directors so chosen shall hold office for a term expiring at the next annual meeting of stockholders. No decrease in the number of directors constituting the Board of Directors shall shorten the term of any incumbent director.

Subject to the rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock then outstanding, any directors, or the entire Board of Directors, may be removed from office at any time, with or without cause, by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of all of the outstanding shares of capital stock entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class. Vacancies in the Board of Directors resulting from such removal may be filled by a majority of the directors then in office, though less than a quorum, by the sole remaining director, or by the stockholders at the next annual meeting or at a special meeting called in accordance with Section 1.3 above. Directors so chosen shall hold office until the next annual meeting of stockholders.

2.6 Regular Meetings. Regular meetings of the Board of Directors may be held without notice at such time and place, either within or without the State of Delaware, as shall be determined from time to time by the Board of Directors; provided that any director who is absent when such a determination is made shall be given notice of the determination. A regular meeting

of the Board of Directors may be held without notice immediately after and at the same place as the annual meeting of stockholders.

2.9 Participation in Meetings by Telephone Conference Calls or Other Methods of Communication. Directors or any members of any committee designated by the directors may participate in a meeting of the Board of Directors or such committee by means of conference telephone or other communications equipment by means of which all persons participating in the meeting can hear each other, and participation by such means shall constitute presence in person at such meeting.

2.10 Quorum. A majority of the total number of authorized directors shall constitute a quorum at any meeting of the Board of Directors. In the absence of a quorum at any such meeting, a majority of the directors present may adjourn the meeting from time to time without further notice other than announcement at the meeting, until a quorum shall be present. Interested directors may be counted in determining the presence of a quorum at a meeting of the Board of Directors or at a meeting of a committee which authorizes a particular contract or transaction.

2.11 Action at Meeting. At any meeting of the Board of Directors at which a quorum is present, the vote of a majority of those present shall be sufficient to take any action, unless a different vote is specified by law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws.

2.12 Action by Written Consent. Any action required or permitted to be taken at any meeting of the Board of Directors or of any committee of the Board of Directors may be taken without a meeting if all members of the Board or committee, as the case may be, consent to the action in writing or by electronic transmission, and the writings or electronic transmissions are filed with the minutes of proceedings of the Board or committee. Such filing shall be in paper form if the minutes are maintained in paper form and shall be in electronic form if the minutes are maintained in electronic form.

The Board may designate one or more directors as alternate members of any committee, who may replace any absent or disqualified member at any meeting of the committee. In the absence or disqualification of a member of a committee, the member or members of the committee present at any meeting and not disqualified from voting, whether or not he or they constitute a quorum, may unanimously appoint another member of the Board of Directors to act at the meeting in the place of any such absent or disqualified member. Any such committee, to the extent provided in the resolution of the Board of Directors and subject to the provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law, shall have and may exercise all the powers and authority of the Board of Directors in the management of the business and affairs of the corporation and may authorize the seal of the corporation to be affixed to all papers which may require it. Each such committee shall keep minutes and make such reports as the Board of Directors may from time to time request. Except as the Board of Directors may otherwise determine, any committee may make rules for the conduct of its business, but unless otherwise provided by such rules, its business shall be conducted as nearly as possible in the same manner as is provided in these Bylaws for the Board of Directors.

2.14 Compensation of Directors. Directors may be paid such compensation for their services and such reimbursement for expenses of attendance at meetings as the Board of Directors may from time to time determine. No such payment shall preclude any director from serving the corporation or any of its parent or subsidiary corporations in any other capacity and receiving compensation for such service.

2.15 Nomination of Director Candidates. Subject to the rights of holders of any class or series of Preferred Stock then outstanding, nominations for the election of Directors may be made by (i) the Board of Directors or a duly authorized committee thereof or (ii) any stockholder entitled to vote in the election of Directors.

4.1 Issuance of Stock. Subject to the provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation, the whole or any part of any unissued balance of the authorized capital stock of the corporation or the whole or any part of any unissued balance of the authorized capital stock of the corporation held in its treasury may be issued, sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of by vote of the Board of Directors in such manner, for such consideration and on such terms as the Board of Directors may determine.

4.2 Certificates of Stock. Every holder of stock of the corporation shall be entitled to have a certificate, in such form as may be prescribed by law and by the Board of Directors, certifying the number and class of shares owned by him in the corporation. Each such certificate

shall be signed by, or in the name of the corporation by, the Chairman or Vice Chairman, if any, of the Board of Directors, or the President or a Vice President, and the Treasurer or an Assistant Treasurer, or the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the corporation. Any or all of the signatures on the certificate may be a facsimile.

Each certificate for shares of stock which are subject to any restriction on transfer pursuant to the Certificate of Incorporation, the Bylaws, applicable securities laws or any agreement among any number of shareholders or among such holders and the corporation shall have conspicuously noted on the face or back of the certificate either the full text of the restriction or a statement of the existence of such restriction.

4.3 Transfers. Except as otherwise established by rules and regulations adopted by the Board of Directors, and subject to applicable law, shares of stock may be transferred on the books of the corporation by the surrender to the corporation or its transfer agent of the certificate representing such shares properly endorsed or accompanied by a written assignment or power of attorney properly executed, and with such proof of authority or authenticity of signature as the corporation or its transfer agent may reasonably require. Except as may be otherwise required by law, the Certificate of Incorporation or the Bylaws, the corporation shall be entitled to treat the record holder of stock as shown on its books as the owner of such stock for all purposes, including the payment of dividends and the right to vote with respect to such stock, regardless of any transfer, pledge or other disposition of such stock until the shares have been transferred on the books of the corporation in accordance with the requirements of these Bylaws.

4.4 Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. The corporation may issue a new certificate of stock in place of any previously issued certificate alleged to have been lost, stolen, or destroyed, upon such terms and conditions as the Board of Directors may prescribe, including the presentation of reasonable evidence of such loss, theft or destruction and the giving of such indemnity as the Board of Directors may require for the protection of the corporation or any transfer agent or registrar.

4.5 Record Date. The Board of Directors may fix in advance a record date for the determination of the stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of stockholders or to express consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, or entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment of any rights in respect of any change, concession or exchange of stock, or for the purpose of any other lawful action. Such record date shall not precede the date on which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted and shall not be more than 60 nor less than 10 days before the date of such meeting, nor more than 60 days prior to any other action to which such record date relates.

If no record date is fixed by the Board of Directors, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall be at the close of business on the day before the day on which notice is given, or, if notice is waived, at the close of business on the day before the day on which the meeting is held. If no record date is fixed by the Board of Directors, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to express consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting when no prior action by the Board of Directors is necessary, shall be the day on which the first written consent is expressed. The record date for

determining stockholders for any other purpose shall be at the close of business on the day on which the Board of Directors adopts the resolution relating to such purpose.

A determination of stockholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting; provided, however, that the Board of Directors may fix a new record date for the adjourned meeting.

INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

The corporation shall, to the maximum extent and in the manner permitted by the General Corporation Law of Delaware, indemnify each of its directors and officers against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines, settlements and other amounts actually and reasonably incurred in connection with any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or otherwise, arising by reason of the fact that such person is or was an agent of the corporation. For purposes of this Section 7.1, a “director” or “officer” of the corporation includes any person (a) who is or was a director or officer of the corporation, (b) who, while serving as a director of officer of the corporation, is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director or officer of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, or (c) who was a director or officer of a corporation which was a predecessor corporation of the corporation or of another enterprise at the request of such predecessor corporation.

7.2 Indemnification of Others. The corporation shall have the power, to the maximum extent and in the manner permitted by the General Corporation Law of Delaware, to indemnify each of its employees and agents (other than directors and officers) against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines, settlements and other amounts actually and reasonably incurred in connection with any proceeding, arising by reason of the fact that such person is or was an agent of the corporation. For purposes of this Section 7.2, an “employee” or “agent” of the corporation (other than a director or officer) includes any person (a) who is or was an employee or agent of the corporation, (b) who is or was serving at the request of the corporation as an employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, or (c) who was an employee or agent of a corporation which was a predecessor corporation of the corporation or of another enterprise at the request of such predecessor corporation.

7.3 Payment Of Expenses In Advance. Expenses incurred in defending any action or proceeding for which indemnification is required pursuant to Section 7.1 hereof, or for which indemnification is permitted pursuant to Section 7.2 hereof, following authorization thereof by the Board, shall be paid by the corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the indemnified party to repay such amount, if it shall ultimately be determined that the indemnified party is not entitled to be indemnified as authorized in this Article 6.

7.4 Indemnity Not Exclusive. The indemnification provided by this Article 6 shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in an official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office, to the extent that such additional rights to indemnification are authorized in the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation.

7.5 Insurance. The corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability asserted against him or her and incurred by him or her in any such capacity, or arising out of his or her status as such, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify him or her against such liability under the provisions of the General Corporation Law of Delaware.

7.6 Conflicts. No indemnification or advance shall be made under this Article 6, except where such indemnification or advance is mandated by law or the order, judgment or decree of any court of competent jurisdiction, in any circumstance where it appears:

(a) That it would be inconsistent with a provision of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, these By-laws, a resolution of the stockholders or an agreement in effect at the time of the accrual of the alleged cause of the action asserted in the proceeding in which the expenses were incurred or other amounts were paid, which prohibits or otherwise limits indemnification; or

(b) That it would be inconsistent with any condition expressly imposed by a court in approving a settlement.
