Parent shall advise Company, promptly after it receives notice thereof, of the time when the Registration Statement has become effective under the Securities Act, the issuance of any stop order with respect to the Registration Statement, the suspension of the qualification of the Parent Common Stock issuable in connection with the Merger for offering or sale in any jurisdiction, or any other material notice or communication regarding the Registration Statement.

(c) Each of Parent and Company shall ensure that the information provided by it for inclusion in the Joint Proxy Statement and each amendment or supplement thereto, at the time of mailing thereof and at the respective times of the Parent Shareholders Meeting and Company Shareholders Meeting or in the case of information provided by it for inclusion in the Registration Statement or any amendment or supplement thereto, at the time it becomes effective, will not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

2.1 The Merger. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, and in accordance with the Delaware General Corporation Law (as amended, the “DGCL”), at the Effective Time, Company shall merge with Merger Sub, and the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub shall thereupon cease, and Company shall be the surviving corporation in the Merger (the “Surviving Corporation”).

The Merger shall become effective upon the filing of the Certificate of Merger or at such other time as is agreed by the parties hereto and specified in the Certificate of Merger (the time at which the Merger becomes effective is herein referred to as the “Effective Time”).

2.4 Effects of the Merger. From and after the Effective Time, the Merger shall have the effects set forth in the DGCL. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and subject thereto, at the Effective Time, all the properties, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of Company and Merger Sub shall vest in the Surviving Corporation, and all debts, duties and liabilities of Merger Sub and Company shall become the debts, liabilities and duties of the Surviving Corporation.

2.5 Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation.

2.7 Conversion of Securities.

(a) Merger Consideration. At the Effective Time, subject to Section 2.7(b) and the other provisions of this Agreement, each share of the common stock of Company, $.01 par value (the “Company Common Stock”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time

(excluding any Excluded Shares and any Appraisal Shares) shall, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, be converted into and shall thereafter represent the right to receive the following consideration (the “Merger Consideration”):

(i)    Each share of Company Common Stock (excluding any Excluded Shares) with respect to which an election to receive a combination of stock and cash has been effectively made and not revoked or lost pursuant to Section 2.7(c) (each, a “Mixed Consideration Election Share”) and each Non-Election Share, as defined in Section 2.7(c), shall be converted into the right to receive the combination (such combination, the “Per Share Mixed Consideration”) of (x) $4.00 in cash or such lesser amount of cash based on the adjustments in Section 2.7(b) (the “Per Share Mixed Election Cash Amount”) and (y) the number of shares of Parent Common Stock (together with any cash in lieu of fractional shares of Parent Common Stock to be paid pursuant to Section 2.9(e)) equal to Mixed Election Stock Exchange Ratio.

(ii)    If the Available Stock Election Amount equals or exceeds the Stock Election Amount, then each share of Company Common Stock (including any Company Restricted Stock, but excluding any Excluded Shares) with respect to which an election to receive stock consideration is properly made and not revoked or lost pursuant to Section 2.7(c) (each, a “Stock Election Share”) shall be converted into the right to receive a number of shares of Parent Common Stock (together with any cash in lieu of fractional shares of Parent Common Stock to be paid pursuant to Section 2.9(e) (the “Per Share Stock Election Consideration”)), equal to the Exchange Ratio. If the Stock Election Amount exceeds the Available Stock Election Amount (such excess being herein referred to as the “Excess Shares”), then each Stock Election Share shall be converted into the right to receive (1) a number of validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of Parent Common Stock equal to (w) the Available Stock Election Amount divided by (x) the number of Stock Election Shares, rounding to the nearest ten-thousandth of a share, and (2) an amount of cash (without interest) equal to (y) the product of the Excess Shares and the Parent Share Value, divided by (z) the number of Stock Election Shares.

(b) Election and Consideration Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the following adjustments to elections and form of Merger Consideration shall occur if applicable, provided that in each case, the sum of (x) the Per Share Mixed Election Cash Amount and (y) the product of the Mixed Election Stock Exchange Ratio and the Parent Share Value shall at all times equal (z) the Per Share Cash Consideration.

(i)    The parties agree that as of the Effective Time, the amount of cash and cash equivalents held by Company shall be at least $15,000,000, calculated in accordance with the principles set forth on Section 2.7(b)(i) of the Company Disclosure Schedule (the “Target”) and subject to the adjustment set forth in Section 5.11, if applicable. To the extent that the Company has less than the Target

as of the Effective Time, the Maximum Cash Consideration shall be adjusted downward, on a dollar-for-dollar basis, equal to the difference between the Target and the actual cash and cash equivalent amount on hand at the Effective Time (the “Difference”), and the Maximum Stock Consideration shall be increased by a number of shares of Parent Stock equal to (y) the Difference divided by (z) the Parent Share Value. The Per Share Mixed Election Cash Amount shall be decreased by an amount equal to (A) the Difference divided by (B) the sum of the Mixed Consideration Election Shares and the Non-Election Shares, and the Mixed Election Stock Exchange Ratio shall be increased by an amount equal to (C) the Difference divided by the Parent Share Value divided by (D) the sum of the Mixed Consideration Election Shares and Non-Election Shares; and

(ii)    The parties further agree that the Maximum Cash Consideration shall be reduced by the Per Share Cash Consideration for each Appraisal Share that has exercised and not withdrawn such exercise at or prior to the Effective Time. The Per Share Mixed Election Cash Amount shall be decreased by an amount equal to (y) the Per Share Cash Consideration multiplied by the number of Appraisal Shares (such product, the “Appraisal Cash Adjustment”) divided by (z) the sum of the Mixed Consideration Election Shares and the Non-Election Shares, and the Mixed Election Stock Exchange Ratio shall be increased by an amount equal to (A) the Appraisal Cash Adjustment divided by the Parent Share Value divided by (B) the sum of the Mixed Consideration Election Shares and Non-Election Shares. Such adjustment to the Maximum Cash Consideration shall not be impacted by any subsequent appraisal proceedings, including any failure to perfect, withdrawal, forfeiture or loss of appraisal rights, for the Appraisal Shares after the Effective Time, and all Appraisal Shares shall continue to be treated in accordance with Section 2.12 of this Agreement; and

(iii)    Notwithstanding anything set forth above, if and to the minimum extent necessary to accomplish the Tax-Free Reorganization, the Per Share Mixed Election Cash Amount shall be decreased, and the Mixed Election Stock Exchange Ratio shall be correspondingly increased.

(iv)    At the Closing, the Company shall deliver to Parent a certificate as to the cash and cash equivalents held by the Company on the Closing Date calculated in accordance with Section 2.7(b)(i) of the Company Disclosure Schedule and certified as true and correct by its Chief Executive Offer or Chief Financial Officer (the “Target Closing Certificate”). At the Closing, upon delivery of the Target Closing Certificate, Parent and Company shall jointly calculate the adjustments set forth in Sections 2.7(b)(i) and (ii). Such adjustments shall be reflected in the instructions to be provided by Parent to the Exchange Agent pursuant to Section 2.9.

(c) Election Procedures.

(i)    An election form and other appropriate and customary transmittal

materials (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to any certificate (a “Certificate”) theretofore representing shares of Company Common Stock or non-certificated shares represented by book entry (“Book Entry Shares”) shall pass, only upon proper delivery of such Certificates or Book Entry Shares, respectively, to the Exchange Agent), in such form as Parent shall specify and as shall be reasonably acceptable to the Company (the “Election Form”), shall be mailed together or contemporaneously with the Joint Proxy Statement (the “Mailing Date”) to each holder of record of shares of Company Common Stock as of the close of business on the record date for notice of the Company Shareholders Meeting (the “Election Form Record Date”).

(ii)    Each Election Form shall permit the holder (or the beneficial owner through appropriate and customary documentation and instructions), other than any holder of any Excluded Shares or any Appraisal Shares, to specify (A) the number of shares of such holder’s Company Common Stock with respect to which such holder elects to receive the Per Share Mixed Consideration, (B) the number of shares of such holder’s Company Common Stock with respect to which such holder elects to receive the Per Share Stock Election Consideration, or (C) that such holder makes no election with respect to such holder’s Company Common Stock (“Non-Election Shares”). Any Company Common Stock with respect to which the Exchange Agent has not received an effective, properly completed Election Form on or before 5:00 p.m., New York time, on the 30th day following the Mailing Date (or such other time and date as the Company and Parent shall agree) (the “Election Deadline”) (other than any shares of Company Common Stock that constitute Appraisal Shares as of such time) shall also be deemed to be Non-Election Shares.

(iii)    Parent shall make available one or more Election Forms as may reasonably be requested from time to time by all Persons who become holders (or beneficial owners) of Company Common Stock between the Election Form Record Date and the close of business on the Business Day prior to the Election Deadline, and the Company shall provide to the Exchange Agent all information reasonably necessary for it to perform as specified herein.

(iv)    Any election shall have been properly made only if the Exchange Agent shall have received a properly completed Election Form by the Election Deadline. If an Election Form purports to make an election for a certificated Share of Company Common Stock or Book Entry Shares, then an Election Form shall be deemed properly completed only (A) if accompanied by one or more Certificates (or customary affidavits and, if required by Parent or the Surviving Corporation, the posting by such Person of a bond, in such reasonable amount as the Surviving Corporation may direct, as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate) and/or (B) upon receipt of an “agent’s message” by the Exchange Agent or such other evidence of transfer of Book Entry Shares to the Exchange Agent as the Exchange Agent may reasonably

request, collectively representing all shares of Company Common Stock covered by such Election Form, together with duly executed transmittal materials included in the Election Form. Any Election Form may be revoked or changed by the Person submitting such Election Form by written notice received by the Exchange Agent prior to the Election Deadline. In the event an Election Form is revoked prior to the Election Deadline, the shares of Company Common Stock represented by such Election Form shall become Non-Election Shares and Parent shall cause the Certificates representing such shares of Company Common Stock or Book Entry Shares to be promptly returned without charge to the Person submitting the Election Form upon written request to that effect from the holder who submitted the Election Form, except to the extent (if any) a subsequent election is properly made with respect to any or all of such shares of Company Common Stock. Subject to the terms of this Agreement and of the Election Form, Parent shall have sole discretion, which it may delegate in whole or in part to the Exchange Agent, to determine whether any election, revocation or change has been properly or timely made and to disregard immaterial defects in the Election Forms, and any good faith reasonable decisions of Parent (or the Exchange Agent, if so empowered) regarding such matters shall be binding and conclusive. None of Parent, Merger Sub or the Exchange Agent shall be under any obligation to notify any Person of any defect in an Election Form. Elections will be deemed to be revoked if this Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms.

(d) Cancellation of Shares. Shares of Company Common Stock, when converted in accordance with Section 2.7(a), shall cease to be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and cease to exist, and each holder of a Certificate or Book Entry Share shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive in respect of each share of Company Common Stock previously represented thereby (i) the consideration set forth in Section 2.7(a), (ii) any dividends or other distributions in accordance with Section 2.9(c), and (iii) any cash to be paid in lieu of any fractional shares of Parent Common Stock in accordance with Section 2.9(e), in each case without interest, and in each case to be issued or paid in consideration therefor upon the surrender of such Certificate or Book Entry Share in accordance with Section 2.9.

(e) Treasury Stock; Excluded Shares. All shares of Company Common Stock held by Company as treasury shares or by Parent or Merger Sub or by any wholly-owned Subsidiary of Parent, Merger Sub or Company immediately prior to the Effective Time shall automatically be canceled and cease to exist as of the Effective Time and no consideration shall be delivered or deliverable therefor (all such shares, the “Excluded Shares”).

(f) Merger Sub Stock. Each outstanding share of the capital stock of Merger Sub shall be converted into an outstanding share of Surviving Corporation owned by Parent.

2.8 Company Stock Options and Company Warrants.

(a) Company Stock Options. At the Effective Time, each Company Stock Option will cease to represent an option to purchase Company Common Stock and will be converted automatically into an option to purchase a number of shares of Parent Common Stock (each, a

“New Parent Stock Option”) equal to the product (rounded down to the nearest whole share) of (A) the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Company Stock Option and (B) the Exchange Ratio, at an exercise price per share (rounded up to the nearest whole cent) equal to (1) the exercise price of such Company Stock Option divided by (2) the Exchange Ratio. At the Effective Time, the vesting schedule of each Company Stock Option converted into a New Parent Stock Option shall be accelerated by one year. Unless otherwise provided for under the terms of any existing executive employment agreements to which a holder of Company Stock Options or New Parent Stock Options shall be a party, the New Parent Stock Options shall immediately vest upon termination of the holder’s employment by Surviving Corporation within one year of the Effective Time other than for Cause or by the holder without Good Reason and be exercisable for ninety days post-termination. Except as set forth above, each New Parent Stock Option shall otherwise continue to be governed by the same terms and conditions as were applicable to the Company Stock Option immediately prior to the Effective Time.

(b) Company Warrants. At the Effective Time,

(i)    each outstanding and unexercised Gopman Warrant will cease to represent a warrant to purchase Company Common Stock and will be converted automatically into a warrant to purchase a number of shares of Parent Common Stock (each, a “Parent Warrant”) equal to the product (rounded down to the nearest whole share) of (x) the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Gopman Warrant and (y) the Exchange Ratio, at an exercise price per share (rounded up to the nearest whole cent) equal to (1) the exercise price of such Gopman Warrant divided by (2) the Exchange Ratio; and

(ii)    each outstanding and unexercised Licensor Warrant will cease to represent a warrant to purchase Company Common Stock and will be converted automatically into a fully-vested Parent Warrant to purchase a number of shares of Parent Common Stock equal to the product (rounded down to the nearest whole share) of (x) the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Licensor Warrant and (y) the Exchange Ratio, at an exercise price per share equal to $8.00 (the “Licensor Warrant Consideration”).

Subject to the Licensor Warrant Amendment, except as set forth above, each Parent Warrant shall otherwise continue to be governed by the same terms and conditions as were applicable to the Company Warrant immediately prior to the Effective Time.

(c) Registration. With respect to the shares underlying the Company Stock Options, Parent shall take commercially reasonable steps to become a “successor issuer” on any existing registration statement filed by the Company with respect thereto or to file a registration statement on Form S-8 to register such shares as promptly following the Effective Time as possible in compliance with applicable terms and requirements related thereto.

2.9 Exchange of Company Common Stock.

(a) Exchange Agent. Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall deposit, or shall cause

to be deposited, with the Company’s transfer agent or a bank or trust company designated by Parent (the “Exchange Agent”), for the benefit of the holders of shares of Company Common Stock, for exchange in accordance with this ARTICLE 2, through the Exchange Agent, sufficient cash and Parent Common Stock to make pursuant to this ARTICLE 2 all deliveries of cash and Parent Common Stock as required by this ARTICLE 2, including the Merger Consideration. Parent agrees to make available to the Exchange Agent, from time to time as needed, cash sufficient to pay any dividends and other distributions pursuant to Section 2.9(c) and to make payments in lieu of fractional shares pursuant to Section 2.9(e). Any cash and Parent Common Stock deposited with the Exchange Agent (including as payment for any dividends or other distributions in accordance with Section 2.9(c) and fractional shares in accordance with Section 2.9(e)) shall hereinafter be referred to as the “Exchange Fund”. The Exchange Agent shall, pursuant to irrevocable instructions, deliver the Merger Consideration contemplated to be paid for shares of Company Common Stock pursuant to this Agreement out of the Exchange Fund. The Exchange Agent shall invest any cash included in the Exchange Fund as directed by Parent, provided that no such investment or losses thereon shall affect the amount of Merger Consideration payable to the holders of shares of Company Common Stock or payments due to holders of Company Stock Options. Any interest and other income resulting from such investments shall be paid to Parent. Except as contemplated by this Agreement, the Exchange Fund shall not be used for any other purpose.

(b) Exchange Procedures. As promptly as practicable after the Effective Time, Parent shall instruct the Exchange Agent to mail to each record holder, as of the Effective Time, of an outstanding Certificate or Book Entry Share that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented shares of Company Common Stock (i) a letter of transmittal (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the shares of Company Common Stock shall pass, only upon proper delivery of the corresponding Certificates to the Exchange Agent or receipt by the Exchange Agent of an “agent’s message” with respect to Book Entry Shares, and shall be in customary form as directed by Parent and reasonably acceptable to the Company) and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates or Book Entry Shares in exchange for the Merger Consideration payable in respect of the shares of Company Common Stock represented thereby. Promptly after the Effective Time, upon surrender of Certificates or Book Entry Shares for cancellation to the Exchange Agent together with such letters of transmittal, properly completed and duly executed, and such other documents as may be required pursuant to such instructions, the holders of such Certificates or Book Entry Shares and the holders of Certificates or Book Entry Shares who previously surrendered Certificates or Book Entry Shares to the Exchange Agent with properly completed and duly executed Election Forms shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor, upon completion of the calculations required by Section 2.7, (A) shares of Parent Common Stock representing, in the aggregate, the whole number of shares of Parent Common Stock that such holder has the right to receive pursuant to Section 2.7 (after taking into account all shares of Company Common Stock then held by such holder) and (B) a check in the amount equal to the aggregate amount of cash that such holder has the right to receive pursuant to Section 2.7, dividends and other distributions pursuant to Section 2.9(c) and cash payable in lieu of any fractional shares of Parent Common Stock pursuant to Section 2.9(e). No interest shall be paid or accrued on any Merger Consideration. In the event of a transfer of ownership of shares of Company Common Stock which is not registered in the transfer records of the Company, the Merger Consideration payable in respect of such shares of Company Common Stock may be paid to a transferee if the

Certificate representing such shares of Company Common Stock is presented to the Exchange Agent, accompanied by all documents required to evidence and effect such transfer and the Person requesting such exchange shall pay to the Exchange Agent in advance any transfer or other Taxes required by reason of the delivery of the Merger Consideration in any name other than that of the registered holder of the Certificate surrendered, or shall establish to the satisfaction of the Exchange Agent that such Taxes have been paid or are not payable.

(c) Distributions with Respect to Unexchanged Company Common Stock. No dividends or other distributions declared or made with respect to Parent Common Stock with a record date after the Effective Time shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Certificate or Book Entry Share with respect to the Parent Common Stock that such holder would be entitled to receive upon surrender of such Certificate or Book Entry Share and no cash payment in lieu of fractional shares of Parent Common Stock shall be paid to any such holder until such holder shall surrender such Certificate or Book Entry Share in accordance with this Section 2.9. Subject to applicable Law, following surrender of any such Certificate or Book Entry Share, there shall be paid to such holder of Parent Common Stock issuable in exchange therefor, without interest, (i) promptly after the time of such surrender, the amount of any cash due pursuant to Section 2.7 and cash payable in lieu of fractional shares of Parent Common Stock to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 2.9(e) and the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time theretofore paid with respect to such holder’s whole shares of Parent Common Stock, and (ii) at the appropriate payment date, the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time but prior to such surrender and a payment date subsequent to such surrender payable with respect to such holder’s whole shares of Parent Common Stock.

(d) Further Rights in Company Common Shares. The Merger Consideration issued upon conversion of a share of Company Common Stock in accordance with the terms hereof (including any cash paid pursuant to Section 2.9(c) or Section 2.9(e)) shall be deemed to have been issued in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such share of Company Common Stock.

(e) Fractional Shares. No certificates or scrip or Parent Common Stock representing fractional shares of Parent Common Stock or book entry credit of the same shall be issued upon the surrender for exchange of Certificates or Book Entry Shares, no dividend or other distribution, stock split or interest shall relate to any such fractional share and such fractional share shall not entitle the owner thereof to vote or to have any rights as a holder of any Parent Common Stock. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, each holder of shares of Company Common Stock exchanged in the Merger who would otherwise have been entitled to receive a fraction of a share of Parent Common Stock (after taking into account all Certificates and Book Entry Shares delivered by such holder) shall receive, in lieu thereof, cash (without interest) in an amount, rounded to the nearest whole cent, equal to the product of (i) the Parent Share Value and (ii) the fraction of a share of Parent Common Stock that such holder would otherwise be entitled to receive pursuant to Section 2.7 hereof.

(f) Termination of Exchange Fund. Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains undistributed to the holders of Company Common Stock after one hundred eighty (180) days

following the Effective Time shall be delivered to Parent upon demand and, from and after such delivery to Parent, any former holders of Company Common Stock (other than Appraisal Shares) who have not theretofore complied with this ARTICLE 2 shall thereafter look only to Parent for the Merger Consideration payable in respect of such shares of Company Common Stock. Any amounts remaining unclaimed by holders of shares of Company Common Stock immediately prior to such time as such amounts would otherwise escheat to or become the property of any Governmental Entity shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, thereupon become the property of Parent free and clear of any Liens, claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.

(g) No Liability.

(h) Lost Certificates. If any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed in form and substance acceptable to Parent and, if required by Parent, the posting by such Person of a bond, in such reasonable amount as Parent may direct, as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, the Exchange Agent shall pay in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate the Merger Consideration payable in respect of the shares of Company Common Stock represented by such Certificate.

To the extent that amounts are so withheld by Parent, the Surviving Corporation or the Exchange Agent, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of Company Common Stock or Company Stock Options in respect of whom such deduction and withholding was made by Parent, the Surviving Corporation or the Exchange Agent, as the case may be.

(j) Book Entry. All shares of Parent Common Stock to be issued in the Merger shall be issued in book entry form, without physical certificates.

2.10 Certain Adjustments. If, after the date of this Agreement and at or prior to the Effective Time, the outstanding shares of Parent Common Stock or Company Common Stock are changed into a different number of shares or type of securities by reason of any reclassification, recapitalization, split-up, stock split, subdivision, combination or exchange of shares, or any dividend payable in stock or other securities is declared thereon or rights issued in respect thereof with a record date within such period, or any similar event occurs (any such action, an “Adjustment Event”), the Merger Consideration will be adjusted accordingly to provide to the holders of Company Common Stock, Company Warrants and Company Stock Options the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such Adjustment Event.

2.11 Transfer Books; No Further Ownership Rights in Company Stock. At the close of business on the date on which the Effective Time occurs, the stock transfer books of Company shall be closed and thereafter there shall be no further registration of transfers of shares of Company Common Stock on the records of Company, except for the cancellation of such shares in connection with the Merger. From and after the Effective Time, the holders of Certificates that evidenced ownership of shares of Company Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall cease to have any rights with respect to such shares, except as otherwise provided for herein or by applicable Law. If, after the Effective Time, bona fide Certificates are presented to the Surviving Corporation for any reason, they shall be canceled and exchanged as provided in this ARTICLE 2.

At the Effective Time, all Appraisal Shares shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and cease to exist. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any such holder (A) fails to perfect or otherwise shall waive, withdraw or lose the right to appraisal under Section 262, (B) fails to establish his entitlement to appraisal rights as provided in the DGCL, or (C) fails to take any action the consequence of which is that such holder is not entitled to payment for his shares under the DGCL or a court of competent jurisdiction shall determine that such holder is not entitled to the relief provided by Section 262, then the right of such holder to be paid the fair value of such holder’s Appraisal Shares under Section 262 shall be forfeited and cease and if such forfeiture shall occur following the Election Deadline, each of such holder’s Appraisal Shares shall be deemed to have been converted at the Effective Time into, and shall have become, the right to receive, without interest thereon, the Merger Consideration, as Non-Election Shares, pursuant to Section 2.7. The Company shall deliver prompt notice to Parent of any demands for appraisal of any shares of Company Common Stock and provide Parent with the opportunity to participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to demands for appraisal under the DGCL. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall not, without the prior written consent of Parent, voluntarily make any payment with respect to, or settle or offer to settle, any such demands, or agree to do any of the foregoing.

Parent has paid any and all commitment fees or other fees in connection with the Financing Letter that are payable on or prior to the date of this Agreement.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, at any time prior to the receipt of the Company Shareholder Approval, (i) the Company Board may make a Change of Recommendation or enter into an Alternative Acquisition Agreement, as applicable, if the Company Board with respect to an Acquisition Proposal has determined in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisors and outside legal counsel, that (A) there is a reasonable probability that the failure to do so would cause the Company Board to violate its fiduciary duties to the Company Shareholders under applicable Law and (B) such Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal or (ii) if an event, fact, circumstance, development or occurrence that affects, or would reasonably be expected to affect, the business, assets, operations or results of operations of the Company or its Subsidiaries and that has not occurred or is unknown to the Company Board as of the date of this Agreement (an “Intervening Event”) occurs or becomes known to the Company Board, the Company Board may effect a Change of Recommendation; provided that the Company Board has determined in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisors and outside legal counsel, that there is a reasonable probability that the failure to do so would cause the Company Board to violate its fiduciary duties to the Company Shareholders under applicable Law, provided that (W) Company shall have provided prior written notice to Parent at least three (3) days in advance (the “Notice Period”) of its intention to take such action and provided the reasons for the Change of Recommendation described in either (i) or (ii) and, if related to a Superior Proposal, the material terms and conditions of any such Superior Proposal (including the identity of the person making the Superior Proposal and the ultimate beneficial owner or owners and controlling persons thereof, to the extent such information is reasonably available to Company), (X) in the case of a Superior Proposal, prior to effecting such Change of Recommendation, or, approving or recommending such Superior Proposal or terminating this Agreement to enter into an Alternative Acquisition Agreement, Company shall, and shall cause its Representatives to, during the Notice Period, negotiate with Parent and its Representatives in good faith (to the extent that Parent desires to negotiate) to enable Parent to propose in writing a binding offer to effect revisions to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Financing Letter, the Related Person Investment Commitment, the Letter Amendment and the Licensor Warrant Amendment, as would alleviate the need for a Change of Recommendation, or such approval, recommendation or termination, (Y) in the case of a Superior Proposal, the Company Board shall have considered in good faith any changes to this Agreement, the Financing Letter, the Related Person Investment Commitment, the Letter Amendment or the Licensor Warrant Amendment offered in writing by Parent and shall have determined that the Superior Proposal would continue to constitute a Superior Proposal if such changes were to be given effect and (Z) in the case of a Superior Proposal, prior to effecting such Change of Recommendation or entering into an Alternative Acquisition Agreement, Company shall have terminated this Agreement and paid to Parent any Termination Fee payable with respect to such termination in

accordance with the terms hereof. Any material amendment to the material terms of such Superior Proposal shall require a new notice and Notice Period, and Company shall be required to comply again with the requirements of these subclauses (W) through (Z).

(f) Company agrees that it will keep the Parent reasonably informed regarding the matters contemplated by this Section 5.3 (including any Acquisition Proposals). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (i) Company agrees that it will promptly (and, in any event, within forty-eight (48) hours) notify Parent if any proposals or offers with respect to an Acquisition Proposal are received by Company or its Representatives indicating, in connection with such notice, the identity of the Person or group of Persons making such offer or proposal, the material terms and conditions of any proposals or offers (including, if applicable, copies of any written requests, proposals or offers, including proposed agreements) and thereafter shall keep Parent reasonably informed, on a prompt basis, of the status and terms of any such proposals or offers (including any amendments thereto) and the status of any such discussions or negotiations, including any change in Company’s intentions as previously notified and (ii) following the No-Shop Period Start Date, Company agrees that it will promptly (and, in any event, within forty-eight (48) hours) notify the Parent if any non-public information is requested from, or any discussions or negotiations are sought to be initiated or continued with, Company or any of its Representatives indicating, in connection with such notice, the identity of the person or group of Persons and the status of any such discussions or negotiations, including any change in Company’s intentions as previously notified, in each case pursuant to an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement.

(g) Other than with respect to the Financing Letter, the Letter Amendment, the Licensor Warrant Amendment or the Related Person Investment Commitment or as contemplated by this Agreement, neither Parent nor Merger Sub, nor any of their respective Affiliates, shall make or enter into any formal or informal arrangements or understandings (whether or not binding) with any Person, or have any discussions or other communications with any other person, in any such case with respect to any Acquisition Proposal involving Company.

(h) Nothing in this Section 5.3 or elsewhere in this Agreement shall prohibit Company, Company Board or any committee thereof from (i) taking and disclosing to Company Shareholders a position contemplated by Rule 14e-2(a), Rule 14d-9 or Item 1012(a) of Regulation M-A promulgated under the Exchange Act, (ii) complying with its disclosure obligations under applicable Law, it being understood that neither any “stop, look and listen” letter or similar communication of the type contemplated by Rule 14d-9(f) under the Exchange Act, nor any accurate disclosure of factual information to the Company Shareholders that is required to be made to such stockholders under applicable Law or in satisfaction of the Company Board’s fiduciary duties or applicable Law, shall be deemed a modification of the Company Board’s approval or recommendation of the Merger and this Agreement.

(i) For purposes of this Agreement:

(ii)    “Superior Proposal” shall mean any bona fide Acquisition Proposal (except that all references to “25%” in the definition of “Acquisition Proposal” shall be replaced with 50%) made by any Person (other than a party to this Agreement) that the Company Board and Independent Committee determine in good faith (after consultation with their financial advisor and outside legal counsel and after taking into account all legal, financial (including the financing terms thereof), regulatory, timing and other aspects of the proposal, as well as any modification to this Agreement and/or the Related Person Investment that the Parent and Merger Sub propose to make in accordance with Section 5.3(e)(ii)), (A) is on terms that are more favorable to the Company Shareholders from a financial point of view than the Transactions contemplated by this Agreement and (B) is capable of being consummated within a reasonable period of time.

(iii)    “Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement” shall mean a confidentiality that contains confidentiality provisions that are not materially less favorable in the aggregate to the Company than those contained in the Confidentiality Agreement (provided that such confidentiality agreement shall not be required to restrict a person from communicating an Acquisition Proposal to the Company Board or any duly constituted and authorized committee thereof).

(c) In the event that Parent becomes aware of any event or circumstance that makes procurement of any portion of the Acquisition Advances or the Related Persons Investment (collectively, the “Financing”) unlikely to occur in the manner or from the sources contemplated, Parent shall immediately notify Company, and Parent shall use its best efforts to arrange any such portion (other than amounts that are replaced by Parent’s cash on hand) from alternative sources (such portion from alternate sources, the “Alternate Financing”) on terms and conditions, taken as a whole, no less favorable to Parent.

Each party shall conduct any such activities in such a manner as not to interfere unreasonably with the business and operations of the other, and neither party shall be obligated to provide such access or information if it determines, in its reasonable judgment, that doing so would violate applicable Law or an obligation of confidentiality owing to a third party, waive protection of an attorney-client privilege, or expose it to risk of liability for disclosure. The information provided will be used solely in connection with the Transactions and shall be subject to the Confidentiality Agreement.

5.8 Notification of Certain Matters.

In addition, Parent, from and after the Effective Time, shall and shall cause Surviving Corporation to, advance any expenses (including legal expenses) of any Indemnitee under this Section 5.9 as incurred to the fullest extent permitted by Law, provided that the Indemnitee to whom expenses are advanced provides an undertaking to repay advances if it shall be determined that such Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified pursuant to this Section 5.9.

The provisions of this Section 5.9 shall be deemed to have been satisfied if prepaid “tail” policies with the same terms, conditions and coverage as indicated above have been obtained by the Surviving Corporation for purposes of this

Section 5.9 from carriers with the same or better rating as the carrier of such insurances as of the date of this Agreement.

(c) The provisions of this Section 5.9 are intended for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each Indemnitee, his or her heirs and his or her representatives and is in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other rights to indemnification or contribution that any Indemnitee may have under Company Charter Documents, by contract or otherwise. In the event the Surviving Corporation or any of its successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of the Surviving Corporation or the purchaser of its assets and properties shall assume the obligations set forth in this Section 5.9.

(b) Unless otherwise required pursuant to a “determination” within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code, provided the Second Merger occurs, each of Parent, Merger Sub and the Company shall report the Merger, taken together with the Second Merger, as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code.

5.16 Employee Matters.

(a) Following the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to provide to employees of the Company and its Company Subsidiaries employed immediately prior to the Effective Time (and their dependents) (the “Company Employees”) and former employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries terminated prior to the Effective Time, the compensation and benefits required by applicable Law or pursuant to vested benefits under any Company Benefit Plan; provided, however, that nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit the Parent or the Surviving Corporation from terminating the employment of any Company Employee.

(b) For a period of at least twelve (12) months following the Effective Time, unless the Company Employees have been enrolled in or entitled to benefits under a comparable Buyer Plan and entitled to the benefits thereunder provided to similarly situated employees of Parent and its Subsidiaries, Parent shall, and shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, honor, in accordance with their respective terms (as in effect on the date of this Agreement), each Company Benefit Plan including with respect to any payments, benefits or rights arising as a result of the Transactions, without any amendment or modification, other than any amendment or modification required to comply with applicable Law. After such twelve (12) month period, Parent shall, and shall cause the Surviving Corporation, to enroll the Company Employees in and receive benefits under the Buyer Plans to the same extent as similarly situated employees of Parent and its Subsidiaries. Parent acknowledges and agrees that the consummation of the Offer will constitute a “Change in Control”, “Change of Control” or “Terminating Event” (as applicable) under the Company Benefit Plans.

(c) With respect to any “employee benefit plan”, as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA, maintained by Parent or any of Parent’s Subsidiaries (including any vacation, paid time off and severance plans) in which Company Employees participate on or after the Effective Time (“Buyer Plans”), for all purposes, including determining eligibility to participate, level of benefits, benefit accruals (other than for purposes of benefit accrual under any defined benefit plan) and vesting (other than for purposes of any equity-based compensation), each Company Employee’s service with the Company or a Company Subsidiary (as well as service with any predecessor employer of the Company or the Company Subsidiary to the extent service with such predecessor employer is recognized by the Company or the Company Subsidiary) shall be treated as service with Parent or any of Parent’s Subsidiaries; provided that the foregoing shall not apply to the extent its application

would result in a duplication of benefits with respect to the same period of service. In the event Parent, the Surviving Corporation, or any of Parent’s Subsidiaries terminates any or all of the Company Benefit Plans during the twelve (12) month period commencing on the Effective Time, each Company Employee shall participate in a Buyer Plan substantially comparable to the terminated Company Benefit Plan.

(d) Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to waive, or cause to be waived, any pre-existing condition limitation, exclusions, actively-at-work requirements and waiting periods under any welfare benefit plan maintained by Parent or any of its Subsidiaries (other than the Company Benefit Plans) in which the Company Employees (and their eligible dependents) will be eligible to participate from and after the Effective Time. Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to recognize, or cause to be recognized, the dollar amount of all expenses incurred by each Company Employee (and his or her eligible dependents) during the calendar year in which the Effective Time occurs for purposes of satisfying such year’s deductible and co-payment limitations under the relevant welfare benefit plans in which they will be eligible to participate from and after the Effective Time.

(e) For the twelve (12) month period following the Effective Time, Company Employees shall be eligible to receive severance benefits pursuant to the Company Severance Plan from Parent, the Surviving Corporation, or the applicable Parent Subsidiary.

(f) The provisions of this Section 5.16 are for the sole benefit of the parties to this Agreement and nothing herein, expressed or implied, is intended or shall be construed to confer upon or give to any Person (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Company Employee), other than the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns, any legal or equitable or other rights or remedies under or by reason of any provision of this Agreement. No provision in this Agreement shall modify or amend any Company Benefit Plan or Buyer Plan unless this Agreement explicitly states that the provision "amends" such Company Benefit Plan or Buyer Plan. This shall not prevent the parties entitled to enforce this Agreement from enforcing any provision in this Agreement, but no other party shall be entitled to enforce any provision in this Agreement on the grounds that it is an amendment to such Company Benefit Plan or Buyer Plan. If a party not entitled to enforce this Agreement brings a lawsuit or other action to enforce any provision in this Agreement as an amendment to such Company Benefit Plan or Buyer Plan and that provision is construed to be such an amendment despite not being explicitly designated as one in this Agreement, that provision shall lapse retroactively as of its inception, thereby precluding it from having any amendatory effect.

5.17 Company Transaction Costs and Expenses. Exhibit B sets forth an itemized list, prepared in good faith, of Company’s expenses incurred through the date hereof, and the total amount of additional expenses that Company estimates, as of the date hereof, to be incurred by it in connection with the Transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including, without limitation, the fees and expenses of Company’s financial advisors and outside counsel and accountants, which the Company shall use commercially reasonably efforts to update if, to the Company’s Knowledge, additional expenses will be incurred or, to the Company’s Knowledge, there were omitted expenses that should have appeared on Exhibit B.
