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

   (e)            Subject to the parties’ respective rights to terminate the Agreement pursuant to Article 8, Purchaser shall, and Parent shall cause Purchaser to, extend the Offer from time to time as follows: (i) if on the scheduled Expiration Date, the Minimum Condition has not been satisfied or any of the other Offer Conditions has not been satisfied, or waived by Parent or Purchaser if permitted hereunder, then Purchaser shall extend the Offer for one (1) or more occasions in consecutive increments of ten (10) business days each (or such shorter period as may be agreed to by Parent and the Company) in order to permit the satisfaction of such Offer Conditions (subject to the right of Parent or Purchaser to waive any Offer Condition, other than the Minimum Condition); provided, however, that Purchaser shall not be required to extend the Offer and the Expiration Date to a date later than the End Date; and (ii) Purchaser shall extend the Offer for the minimum period required by applicable Law, interpretation or position of the SEC or its staff or the NASDAQ Stock Market (“NASDAQ”) or its staff;  provided, however, that Purchaser shall not be required to extend the Offer and the Expiration Date to a date later than the End Date.

   (g)            In the event that this Agreement is terminated pursuant to the terms hereof, Purchaser shall (and Parent shall cause Purchaser to) as promptly as practicable irrevocably and unconditionally terminate the Offer, shall not acquire any Shares pursuant to the Offer and shall cause any depository acting on behalf of Purchaser to return, in accordance with applicable Law, all tendered Shares to the registered holders thereof.

   (h)            As promptly as practicable on the date of commencement of the Offer (within the meaning of Rule 14d-2 under the Exchange Act), Parent and Purchaser shall (i) file with the SEC a Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO with respect to the Offer (together with all amendments and supplements thereto and including exhibits thereto, the “Schedule TO”) that will contain or incorporate by reference the Offer to Purchase and form of the related letter of transmittal and (ii) cause the Offer to Purchase and related documents to be disseminated to holders of Shares, in each case as and to the extent required by applicable Law.  Parent and Purchaser agree that they shall cause the Schedule TO, together with all documents included therein pursuant to which the Offer will be made (collectively and with any supplements or amendments thereto, the “Offer Documents”) filed by either Parent or Purchaser with the SEC to comply in all material respects with the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder and other applicable Law.  Each of Parent, Purchaser and the Company agrees to promptly correct any information provided by it for use in the Offer Documents if and to the extent that such information shall have become false or misleading in any material respect, and Parent further agrees to use all reasonable efforts to promptly cause the Offer Documents as so corrected to be filed with the SEC and to promptly be disseminated to holders of Shares, in each case as and to the extent required by applicable Law.  The Company shall promptly furnish or otherwise make available to Parent, Purchaser or Parent’s legal counsel any information concerning the Acquired Corporations and the Company’s stockholders that is required in connection with any action contemplated by this Section 1.1(h).  The Company and its counsel shall be given reasonable opportunity to review and comment on the Offer Documents prior to the filing thereof with the SEC.  Parent and Purchaser agree to provide the Company and its counsel with any comments (including a summary of any oral comments) that Parent, Purchaser or their counsel may receive from the SEC or its staff with respect to the Offer Documents promptly after receipt of such comments.  Each of Parent and Purchaser shall respond promptly to any comments of the SEC or its staff with respect to the Offer Documents or the Offer.

   (i)            For purposes of this Agreement, and the Offer, unless otherwise mutually agreed to by the Company and Purchaser, any Shares subject to notices of guaranteed delivery shall be deemed not to be validly tendered into the Offer unless and until the Shares underlying such notices of guaranteed delivery are delivered to Purchaser or to an agent of Purchaser.

   (j)            Without limiting the generality of Section 9.11, Parent shall cause to be provided to Purchaser all of the funds necessary to purchase any Shares that Purchaser becomes obligated to purchase pursuant to the Offer, and shall cause Purchaser to perform, on a timely basis, all of Purchaser’s obligations under this Agreement. Parent and Purchaser shall, and each of Parent and Purchaser shall ensure that all of their respective controlled Affiliates shall, tender any Shares held by them into the Offer.

   (k)            Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Parent and Purchaser shall be entitled to deduct and withhold (or cause the Paying Agent to deduct and withhold) from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to the Offer such amounts as it is required by any Law to deduct and withhold with respect to Taxes and any amounts so withheld shall be promptly remitted to the appropriate Governmental Body.  To the extent that amounts are so withheld and paid to the appropriate Governmental Body in accordance with all applicable Law, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.

        2.6     Conversion of Shares.

   (a)            At the Effective Time, as a result of the Merger and without any action on the part of the Company, Parent, Purchaser or the holder of any capital stock of Parent, Purchaser or the Company:

(i)            Each Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time other than (A) Shares that are cancelled pursuant to clause (iv) or (v) below and (B) Shares that are owned by stockholders (“Dissenting Stockholders”) who have properly demanded in compliance in all respects with Section 262 of the DGCL and not withdrawn a demand for, or lost their right to, appraisal pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL with respect to such Shares (“Excluded Shares”), shall be converted into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to the Offer Price (the “Merger Consideration”) without interest. At the Effective Time, all of the Shares shall cease to be outstanding, shall be cancelled and shall cease to exist, and each certificate (a “Certificate”) formerly representing any of the Shares (other than Excluded Shares) and each non-certificated Share represented by book entry (a “Book Entry Share”) (other than Excluded Shares) shall thereafter represent only the right to receive the Merger Consideration, without interest, and each Certificate formerly representing Shares or Book Entry Shares owned by Dissenting Stockholders shall thereafter only represent the right to receive the payment to which reference is made in Section 2.8.

(ii)            Each Dissenting Share shall, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, cease to be outstanding, shall be cancelled without payment of any consideration therefor and shall cease to exist, subject to any rights the holder of such Dissenting Share may have under Section 2.8.

(iii)            At the Effective Time, each share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Purchaser issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into one share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Surviving Corporation.

(iv)            Any Shares then held by the Company in the Company’s treasury shall be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist, and no consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor.

(v)            Any Shares then held by Purchaser that were accepted for payment by Purchaser in the Offer shall be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist, and no consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor.

   (b)            Without duplication of any adjustment made pursuant to Section 1.1(e), the Merger Consideration shall be adjusted appropriately and proportionately to reflect the effect of any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend (including any dividend or distribution of securities convertible into Company Common Stock), reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, combination, exchange of shares or other like change with respect to Company Common Stock occurring on or after the date hereof and at or prior to the Effective Time, and such adjustment to the Merger Consideration shall provide to the holders of Company Common Stock the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such action; provided that nothing in this Section 2.6(b) shall be construed to permit the Company to take any action with respect to its securities that is prohibited by the terms of this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the Merger Consideration, as adjusted pursuant to this Section 2.6(b), shall equal the Offer Price, as adjusted pursuant to Section 1.1(f).

        2.7     Surrender of Certificates; Stock Transfer Books.

   (a)            Prior to the Offer Acceptance Time, Parent shall designate a bank or trust company reasonably acceptable to the Company to act as agent (the “Paying Agent”) for the holders of Shares to receive the funds to which holders of such Shares shall become entitled pursuant to this Agreement.  Without limiting the generality of Sections 1.1(j) and 9.11, as and when needed after each of the Offer Acceptance Time and Effective Time, Parent shall, or shall take all steps necessary to enable and cause Purchaser to, deposit with the Paying Agent all of the funds necessary to purchase any Shares that Purchaser becomes obligated to purchase pursuant to the Offer and the aggregate Merger Consideration to be paid in respect of the Shares, as applicable (the “Payment Fund”). To the extent the Payment Fund diminishes for any reason below the level required to make prompt payment of the amounts described in the preceding sentence, Parent and Purchaser shall promptly replace or restore the lost portion of such fund so as to ensure that it is, at all times, maintained at a level sufficient to make such payments. The Payment Fund shall be invested by the Paying Agent as directed by Parent; provided, that (i) no such investment or losses thereon shall relieve Parent from making the payments required by this Article 2 or affect the amount of Merger Consideration payable in respect of the Shares and following any losses Parent shall promptly provide additional funds to the Paying Agent in the amount of any such losses, (ii) no such investment shall have maturities that could prevent or delay payments to be made pursuant to this Agreement, and (iii) such investments shall be in short-term obligations of the United States of America with maturities of no more than thirty (30) days or guaranteed by, and backed by the full faith and credit of, the United States of America. Any and all interest or other amounts earned with respect to such funds shall become part of the Payment Fund, and any amounts in excess of the amounts payable under Section 2.6(a) shall be promptly returned to either Parent or the Surviving Corporation. The Payment Fund shall not be used for any other purpose. The Surviving Corporation shall (and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to) pay all charges and expenses, including those of the Paying Agent, in connection with the exchange of Shares and the payment of the Merger Consideration in respect of the Shares.

   (b)            Promptly after the Effective Time, Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall cause to be mailed to each Person who was, at the Effective Time, a holder of record of Shares entitled to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.6 (i) a form of letter of transmittal (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon proper delivery of the Certificates to the Paying Agent) and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates or non-certificated Shares represented by Book Entry Shares pursuant to such letter of transmittal.  Upon surrender to the Paying Agent of Certificates or Book Entry Shares, together with such letter of transmittal, duly completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto, and such other documents as may be required pursuant to such instructions, the holder of such Certificates or Book Entry Shares shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor the Merger Consideration for each Share formerly evidenced by such Certificates or Book Entry Shares, and such Certificates and Book Entry Shares shall then be cancelled.  No interest shall accrue or be paid on the Merger Consideration payable upon the surrender of any Certificates or Book Entry Shares for the benefit of the holder thereof.  If the payment of any Merger Consideration is to be made to a Person other than the Person in whose name the surrendered Certificates formerly evidencing Shares is registered on the stock transfer books of the Company, it shall be a condition of payment that the Certificate so surrendered shall be endorsed properly or otherwise be in proper form for transfer and that the Person requesting such payment shall have paid all transfer and other similar Taxes required by reason of the payment of the Merger Consideration to a Person other than the registered holder of the Certificate surrendered, or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Surviving Corporation that such Taxes either have been paid or are not applicable.  Payment of the applicable Merger Consideration with respect to Book Entry Shares shall only be made to the Person in whose name such Book Entry Shares are registered.

   (c)            At any time following the one hundred and eightieth (180^th) day after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall be entitled to require the Paying Agent to deliver to it any funds which had been made available to the Paying Agent and not disbursed to holders of Certificates or Book Entry Shares (including all interest and other income received by the Paying Agent in respect of all funds made available to it), and, thereafter, such holders shall be entitled to look to the Surviving Corporation (subject to abandoned property, escheat and other similar Law) only as general creditors thereof with respect to any Merger Consideration that may be payable upon due surrender of the Certificates or Book Entry Shares held by them.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Surviving Corporation nor the Paying Agent shall be liable to any holder of Certificates or Book Entry Shares for any Merger Consideration delivered in respect of such share to a public official pursuant to any abandoned property, escheat or other similar Law.

   (d)            No dividends or other distributions with respect to capital stock of the Surviving Corporation with a record date on or after the Effective Time shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Certificates or Book Entry Shares.

   (e)            At the close of business on the day of the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of the Company with respect to Shares shall be closed and thereafter there shall be no further registration of transfers of Shares on the records of the Company.  From and after the Effective Time, the holders of Shares outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall cease to have any rights with respect to such Shares except as otherwise provided herein or by applicable Law.  If, after the Effective Time, any Certificate or Book Entry Share is presented to the Surviving Corporation, Parent or the Paying Agent for transfer, it shall be cancelled and exchanged for the cash amount in immediately available funds to which the holder thereof is entitled pursuant to this Section 2.7.  No Merger Consideration shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Certificate or Book Entry Share until the surrender of such Certificate or Book Entry Share in accordance with this Section 2.7.

   (f)            The Surviving Corporation, Parent and Purchaser shall be entitled to deduct and withhold (or cause the Paying Agent to deduct and withhold) from the Merger Consideration payable to any holder of Shares such amounts as it is required by any Law to deduct and withhold with respect to Taxes and any amounts so withheld shall be promptly and properly remitted to the appropriate Governmental Body.  To the extent that amounts are so withheld and paid to the appropriate Governmental Body  in accordance with all applicable Law, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of Shares in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.

   (g)            In the event any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an effective affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed, which shall include an agreement to indemnify and defend and hold harmless Parent, the Surviving Corporation and the Paying Agent from and against any and all costs, claims, losses, judgments, damages, counsel fees, expenses and liabilities whatsoever which each may suffer, sustain or incur in connection with the failure of any statement, representation or warranty set forth in such affidavit, any payment for or transfer, exchange or delivery of such Certificate and such Person’s inability to locate such Certificate, and, if required by Parent, the posting by such Person of a bond in customary amount as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, the Paying Agent will issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate a check in the amount (after giving effect to any required Tax withholdings as provided in Section 2.7(f)) equal to the number of Shares represented by such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate that have been surrendered multiplied by the per Share Merger Consideration.

   (h)            None of Parent, Purchaser, the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent shall be liable to any Person in respect of any cash from the Payment Fund delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law.  If any Certificate or Book Entry Share has not been surrendered prior to the 24-month anniversary of the Effective Time (or, if earlier, immediately prior to the date on which the Merger Consideration in respect of such Certificate or Book Entry Share would otherwise escheat to or become the property of any Governmental Body), any such Merger Consideration in respect of such Certificate or Book Entry Share shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, become the property of the Surviving Corporation, free and clear of all claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.

                  2.8      Dissenters’ Rights.  The Shares outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and held by a holder who is entitled to demand and properly demands appraisal for such Shares in accordance with, and who complies in all respects with, Section 262 of the DGCL (the “Dissenting Shares”) shall not be converted into the right to receive Merger Consideration and shall entitle such holder only to payment for such Dissenting Shares in accordance with and to the extent provided by Section 262 of the DGCL, unless such holder fails to perfect or waives, withdraws or otherwise loses such holder’s right to appraisal of its Shares.  If after the Effective Time such holder fails to perfect or waives, withdraws or loses such holder’s right to appraisal, each such Share shall be treated as if it had been converted as of the Effective Time into a right to receive the Merger Consideration without any interest thereon (less any amounts entitled to be deducted or withheld pursuant to Section 2.7(f)).  The Company shall give Parent prompt notice of any demands received by the Company for appraisal of Shares, and Parent shall have the right to participate in and, after the Offer Acceptance Time, direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demands.  The Company shall not, without the prior written consent of Parent, make any payment with respect to, or settle or offer to settle, any such demands.  Parent shall not, except with the prior written consent of the Company, require the Company to make any payment with respect to any demands for appraisal or offer to settle or settle any such demands.

                  2.9      Further Action.  If, at any time after the Effective Time, any further action is reasonably 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.

Except (a) as disclosed in the Company SEC Documents filed or furnished with the SEC and publicly available since January 1, 2014 and prior to the date of this Agreement (other than information that is (i) contained solely in the risk factors sections of such Company SEC Documents, except to the extent such information consists of factual and/or historical statements, and (ii) in any forward-looking statements in such Company SEC Documents that are of a nature that they speculate about future developments) or (b) as set forth in the part or subpart of the Company Disclosure Letter corresponding to the particular section or subsection in this Article 3 or set forth in any other part or subpart of the Company Disclosure Letter to the extent it is reasonably apparent from the wording of such exception or disclosure that such exception or disclosure is applicable to qualify such representation and warranty, the Company hereby represents and warrants to Parent and Purchaser as follows:

(iv)            the Company shall comply with clauses (A) through (E) (as applicable) as follows: (A) prior to giving effect to clauses (B) through (E), the Board of Directors of the Company shall have determined in good faith, after consultation with the Company’s financial advisor and outside legal counsel, that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal; (B) the Company shall have complied with Section 5.3(c) with respect to such Acquisition Proposal and shall have provided to Parent in writing the material terms and conditions of such Acquisition Proposal, the most current version of the proposed agreement under which such Acquisition Proposal is proposed, and the identity of the Person making such Acquisition Proposal; (C) the Company shall have negotiated in good faith with Parent (and caused its Representatives to negotiate with Parent), to the extent Parent desires to negotiate, during the four (4) business day period provided in the foregoing clause (iii) of this Section 5.4(b) with respect to any proposed revisions to this Agreement or other proposals made by Parent, if any, so that the Acquisition Proposal would no longer constitute a Superior Proposal; (D) after considering the results of negotiations with Parent and taking into account the proposals made by Parent, if any, after consultation with its outside legal counsel and the Company’s financial advisor, the Board of Directors of the Company shall have determined in good faith that such Acquisition Proposal remains a Superior Proposal and that the failure to make the Adverse Change Recommendation or terminate this Agreement to enter into a Specified Acquisition Agreement would be inconsistent with the fiduciary duties of the Board of Directors of the Company under applicable Law; and (E) if the Company intends to terminate this Agreement to enter into a Specified Acquisition Agreement, the Company shall have complied with Section 8.1(e) and Section 8.3(b).

For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of this Section 5.4(b) shall also apply to any material amendment to any Acquisition Proposal (in which case such amendment shall require a new Change of Recommendation Notice and the Company shall be required to comply again with the provisions of this Section 5.4(b) except that any reference to four (4) business days shall instead be two (2) business days) or any successive Acquisition Proposals.

(c)            Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, at any time prior to the Offer Acceptance Time, the Board of Directors of the Company may make an Adverse Change Recommendation with respect to an Intervening Event, if and only if:

(ii)            Parent shall have received from the Company a Change of Recommendation Notice at least four (4) business days prior to making any Adverse Change of Recommendation, describing the Intervening Event in reasonable detail (including the underlying facts giving rise thereto and the reasons for such Adverse Change of Recommendation);

(iv)            after considering the results of negotiations with Parent and taking into account the proposals made by Parent, if any, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, the Board of Directors of the Company shall have determined in good faith that the failure to make the Adverse Change Recommendation would be inconsistent with the fiduciary duties of the Board of Directors of the Company under applicable Law.

The provisions of this Section 5.4(c) shall also apply to any material change to the facts and circumstances relating to an Intervening Event, in which case such change shall require a new Change of Recommendation Notice and the Company shall be required to comply again with the provisions of this Section 5.4(c) (except that any reference to four (4) business days shall instead be two (2) business days).

6.1            Filings and Approvals.

(a)            Without limiting the generality of anything contained in this Section 6.1, the Company and Parent shall cooperate with each other and use (and shall cause their respective Subsidiaries to use) their reasonable best efforts to take or cause to be taken all actions, and do or cause to be done all things, reasonably necessary, proper or advisable on its part under this Agreement and applicable Law to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement as soon as reasonably practicable, including preparing and filing as promptly as reasonably practicable all documentation to effect all necessary notices, reports and other filings and to obtain as promptly as practicable all consents, registrations, approvals, permits and authorizations necessary or advisable to be obtained from any third party and/or any Governmental Body, including without limitation under the Antitrust Laws, in order to consummate the Offer, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(c)            Without limiting the generality of anything contained in this Section 6.1, but subject to Parent’s rights under clause (I) of the preceding paragraph (a), each party hereto shall (i) give the other parties prompt notice of the making or commencement of any request, inquiry, investigation, action or Legal Proceeding by or before any Governmental Body with respect to the Offer, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (ii) keep the other parties reasonably informed as to the status of any such request, inquiry, investigation, action or Legal Proceeding and (iii) promptly inform the other parties of any communication to or from the FTC, DOJ or any other Governmental Body to the extent regarding the Offer, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or regarding any such request, inquiry, investigation, action or Legal Proceeding, and provide a copy of all written communications, provided that Parent shall control any decisions and determine whether to pull and re-file any notice under the HSR Act.  Subject to applicable Law, in advance and to the extent practicable, each of Parent or Company, as the case may be, will consult the other on all the information relating to Parent or the Company, as the case may be, and any of their respective Subsidiaries that appear in any filing made with, or written materials submitted to, any third party and/or any Governmental Body in connection with the Offer, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement and shall incorporate all comments reasonably proposed by Parent or the Company, as the case may be; provided, however, that if review of any information would be material in connection with any second request (or similar process) such information shall be provided solely to those individuals acting as outside antitrust counsel for the other parties provided that such counsel shall not disclose such information to such other parties and shall enter into a joint defense agreement with the providing party.  In addition, except as may be prohibited by any Governmental Body or by any applicable Law, in connection with any such request, inquiry, investigation, action or Legal Proceeding in respect of the Offer, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, each party hereto will permit authorized Representatives of the other party to be present at each meeting or conference relating to such request, inquiry, investigation, action or Legal Proceeding and to have access to and be consulted in connection with any document, opinion or proposal made or submitted to any Governmental Body in connection with such request, inquiry, investigation, action or Legal Proceeding.

(d)            In the event that any litigation or other administrative or judicial action or Legal Proceeding is commenced challenging the Offer, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement and such litigation, action or proceeding seeks, or would reasonably be expected to seek, to prevent consummation of the Offer, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, Parent and Purchaser shall use reasonable best efforts to resolve any such litigation, action or proceeding and each of the Company, Parent and Purchaser shall cooperate with each other and use its respective reasonable best efforts to contest any such litigation, action or proceeding and to have vacated, lifted, reversed or overturned any decree, judgment, injunction or other order, whether temporary, preliminary or permanent, that is in effect and that prohibits, prevents or restricts consummation of the Offer, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(e)            Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, with respect to the matters set forth in this Section 6.1, (x) none of Parent, Purchaser or any of their Subsidiaries shall be required to, and the Company may not, without the prior written consent of Parent, become subject to, consent to, or offer or agree to, or otherwise take any action with respect to, any requirement, condition, limitation, understanding, agreement or order to (i) sell, license, assign, transfer, divest, hold separate or otherwise dispose of any assets, business or portion of the assets or business of the Company, the Surviving Corporation, Parent, Purchaser or any of their respective Subsidiaries, (ii) conduct, restrict, operate, invest or otherwise change the assets, business or portion of assets or business of the Company, the Surviving Corporation, Parent, Purchaser or any of their respective Subsidiaries in any manner, or (iii) impose any restriction, requirement or limitation on the operation of the business or portion of the business of the Company, the Surviving Corporation, Parent, Purchaser or any of their respective Subsidiaries (any of the foregoing, a “Burdensome Condition”); (y) the Company and its Subsidiaries will only be required to take or commit to take any such action, or agree to any such condition or restriction, if such action, commitment, agreement, condition or restriction is binding on the Company or its Subsidiaries only in the event the Closing occurs; and (z) subject to the obligations of Parent set forth in this Section 6.1, the Company and its Subsidiaries shall only be permitted to take or commit to take any such action, or agree to any such condition or restriction, with the prior written consent of Parent and, if requested by Parent, subject to clause (y), the Company will become subject to, consent to, or offer or agree to, or otherwise take any action with respect to, any such requirement, condition, limitation, understanding, agreement or order.

(f)            Notwithstanding anything else contained in this Agreement, during the term of this Agreement, neither the Company nor any of its Affiliates or any of their respective representatives shall cooperate with any Third Party to obtain any governmental approvals or clearances (including under any Antitrust Law) with respect to any Acquisition Proposal.

(g)            No party hereto shall take any action that is intended to or would reasonably be expected to adversely affect or materially delay its ability or the ability of any other party hereto to perform its covenants and agreements under this Agreement or to consummate the Offer, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(a)            Company Options.  At the Effective Time, each outstanding Company Option, whether vested or unvested or exercisable or unexercisable under the Company Equity Plans, shall, automatically and without any required action on the part of the holder thereof, be cancelled and converted into only the right to receive (without interest) an amount in cash (less applicable Tax withholdings), payable in a lump sum through the Company’s payroll system as soon as reasonably practicable (but no later than the second payroll period) after the Effective Time, equal to the product of (A) the excess, if any, of (1) the Offer Price over (2) the exercise price per share of such Company Option, and (B) the number of Shares underlying such Company Option.

(b)            Company RSUs.

(i)                At the Effective Time, each outstanding Company Restricted Stock Unit granted under the Company Equity Plans (each a “Company RSU”) that is not held by a non-employee member of the Board of Directors or the Advisory Board of the Company, shall, automatically and without any required action on the part of the holder thereof, be cancelled and converted into only an unvested award representing the opportunity to receive (without interest) an aggregate amount in cash (less applicable Tax withholdings) equal to the product of (A) the Offer Price, and (B) the number of Shares underlying such Company RSU, which award shall continue to vest and be subject to the same terms and conditions (including forfeiture and time of payment) as were applicable to the Shares underlying such Company RSU.

(ii)                At the Effective Time, each outstanding Company RSU that is held by a non-employee member of the Board of Directors or the Advisory Board of the Company, whether vested or unvested, shall, automatically and without any required action on the part of the holder thereof, be cancelled and converted into only the right to receive (without interest) an amount in cash (less applicable Tax withholdings), payable in a lump sum through the Company’s payroll system as soon as reasonably practicable (but no later than the second payroll period) after the Effective Time, equal to the product of (A) the Offer Price, and (B) the number of Shares underlying such Company RSU.

(c)            At or prior to the Effective Time, the Company, the Board of Directors of the Company and the Compensation Committee (as defined below), as applicable, shall adopt any resolutions and take any actions that are necessary to (i) effectuate the provisions of Sections 6.2(a) and (b), and (ii) ensure that from and after the Effective Time neither Parent nor the Surviving Corporation will be required to deliver Shares or other capital stock of the Company to any Person pursuant to or in settlement of Company Options or Company RSUs after the Effective Time.

6.3            Employee Benefits.  For a period commencing upon the Effective Time and continuing through the first anniversary of the Effective Time, Parent shall, or shall cause its Subsidiaries to, provide to each Company Associate who continues to be employed by Parent or its Subsidiaries following the Effective Time (the “Continuing Employees”) total compensation and benefits (including base salary or base hourly rate, as applicable, employee benefits and annual bonus opportunities, other than severance benefits, equity-based compensation and retention benefits) that are at least substantially comparable in the aggregate to the compensation and benefits (other than severance benefits, equity-based compensation and retention benefits) provided to such Continuing Employees immediately prior to the Effective Time. In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the Continuing Employees shall be eligible for severance benefits as set forth in Part 6.3 of the Company Disclosure Letter and (ii) Parent shall assume and honor the terms of the agreements set forth in Part 6.3 of the Company Disclosure Letter in accordance with the terms thereof as of the date hereof.  Without limiting the foregoing:

(a)            With respect to any accrued but unused personal, sick or vacation time to which any Continuing Employee is entitled pursuant to the personal, sick or vacation policies applicable to such Continuing Employee immediately prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to and instruct its Subsidiaries to, as applicable, assume the liability for such accrued personal, sick or vacation time and allow such Continuing Employee to use such accrued personal, sick or vacation time in accordance with the practice and policies of the applicable Acquired Corporation.

(b)            If requested by Parent at least five (5) business days prior to the Effective Time, the Acquired Corporations shall terminate any and all U.S. Employee Plans intended to qualify under Section 401(k) of the Code (the “401(k) Plan(s)”), effective not later than the business day immediately preceding the Effective Time.  In the event that Parent requests that such 401(k) plan(s) be terminated, the Acquired Corporations shall provide Parent with evidence that such 401(k) plan(s) have been terminated pursuant to resolution of the Company’s Board of Directors not later than two (2) business days immediately preceding the Effective Time.

(c)            To the extent that service is relevant for eligibility, vesting or allowances (including paid time off) under any employee benefit plan of Parent, its Subsidiaries or the Surviving Corporation in which a Continuing Employee may be eligible to participate, then Parent shall use reasonable best efforts to cause such employee benefit plan (to the extent that it would not result in any duplication of benefits), for purposes of eligibility, vesting and allowances (including paid time off), but not for purposes of benefit accrual, to credit Continuing Employees for service prior to the Effective Time with the Acquired Corporations to the same extent that such service was recognized prior to the Effective Time under the corresponding employee benefit plan of the Company.

(d)            With respect to all employees, the Acquired Corporations shall be responsible for providing any notices required to be given and otherwise complying with the WARN or similar statutes or regulations of any jurisdiction relating to any plant closing or mass layoff (or similar triggering event) prior to the Effective Time. If Parent determines that an event would trigger WARN obligations (or obligations arising under similar statutes or regulations) on or after the Effective Time, Parent shall be responsible for providing notices to all employees as are required to be provided notice under WARN (or any similar statute or regulation), in a form that is compliant with applicable regulations.

(e)            Nothing in this Section 6.3 or elsewhere in this Agreement is intended nor shall be construed to (i) be treated as an amendment to any Employee Plan, (ii) prevent Parent from amending or terminating any of its employee benefit plans in accordance their terms, (iii) create a right in any Company Associate to employment with Parent, its Subsidiaries, the Surviving Corporation or any other Subsidiary of the Surviving Corporation, and the employment of each Continuing Employee shall be “at will” employment, or (iv) create any third-party beneficiary rights in any employee of the Acquired Corporations or the Surviving Corporation, any beneficiary or dependent thereof, or any collective bargaining representative thereof, with respect to the compensation, terms and conditions of employment and/or benefits that may be provided to any Continuing Employee by Parent or the Company or under any benefit plan which Parent, any Acquired Corporation or the Surviving Corporation may maintain.

6.4            Indemnification of Officers and Directors.

(a)            For six (6) years after the Effective Time, Surviving Corporation shall, and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, maintain officers’ and directors’ liability, employment practices liability and fiduciary liability insurance in respect of acts or omissions occurring on or prior to the Effective Time covering each such person covered by the Company’s officers’ and directors’ liability, employment practices liability and fiduciary liability insurance policies as of the date hereof on terms with respect to coverage and amount no less favorable than those of such policies in effect on the date hereof; provided, however, that in satisfying its obligation under this Section 6.4(a), neither Parent nor the Surviving Corporation shall be obligated to pay annual premiums in excess of 250% of the aggregate annual premium paid by the Company in its last full fiscal year prior to the date of this Agreement that is set forth on Part 6.4(a) of the Company Disclosure Letter (the “Current Premium”) and if such premiums for such insurance would at any time exceed 250% of the Current Premium, then the Surviving Corporation shall cause to be maintained policies of insurance that, in the Surviving Corporation’s good faith judgment, provide the maximum coverage available at an annual premium equal to 250% of the Current Premium.  The provisions of the immediately preceding sentence shall be deemed to have been satisfied if prepaid “tail” or “runoff” policies have been obtained by the Company prior to the Effective Time, which policies provide such directors and officers with coverage for an aggregate period of six (6) years with respect to claims arising from acts or omissions that occurred on or before the Effective Time, including, in respect of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided, however, that the amount paid for such prepaid policies does not exceed 250% of the Current Premium.  If such prepaid policies have been obtained prior to the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall (and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to) maintain such policies in full force and effect for their full term, and continue to honor the obligations thereunder.

(b)            From and after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall, and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation, to the fullest extent that would have been permitted under the Laws applicable to the Company prior to the Effective Time: (i) indemnify and hold harmless each individual who at the Effective Time is, or at any time prior to the Effective Time was, a director or officer of the Company or of a Subsidiary of the Company (each, in his capacity as such, an “Indemnified Party”) for any and all reasonable costs, expenses (including reasonable fees and expenses of legal counsel, which shall be advanced as they are incurred, provided that the Indemnified Party shall have made an undertaking to repay such expenses if it is ultimately determined that such Indemnified Party was not entitled to indemnification under this Section 6.4(b)), judgments, fines, penalties or liabilities (including amounts paid in settlement or compromise) imposed upon or reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with or arising out of any action, suit or other proceeding (whether civil or criminal, and including any proceeding before any administrative or legislative body or agency) in which such Indemnified Party may be involved or with which he or she may be threatened (regardless of whether as a named party or as a participant other than as a named party, including, without limitation, as a witness) (a “Proceeding”) by reason of such Indemnified Party’s being or having been such director or officer or an employee or agent of the Company or otherwise in connection with any action taken or not taken at the request of the Company (whether or not the Indemnified Party continues in such position at the time such Proceeding is brought or threatened), in each case at, or at any time prior to, the Effective Time (including any Proceeding relating in whole or in part to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or relating to the enforcement of this provision or any other indemnification or advancement right of any Indemnified Party); and (ii) fulfill and honor in all respects the obligations of the Company pursuant to: (x) each indemnification agreement in effect between the Company and any Indemnified Party as of the date of this Agreement; and (y) any indemnification provision (including advancement of expenses) and any exculpation provision set forth in the certificate of incorporation or bylaws of the Company as in effect on the date of this Agreement. The Surviving Corporation shall, and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, advance all expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, that may be reasonably incurred by the Indemnified Parties in connection with their enforcement of their rights provided under this Section 6.4 (subject to reimbursement to the extent the Indemnified Party is subsequently determined not to be entitled to indemnification (and the Indemnified Party shall provide an undertaking to this effect prior to receiving such advance)). The Surviving Corporation’s obligations under the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) shall continue in full force and effect for a period of six (6) years from the Effective Time; provided, however, that all rights to indemnification, exculpation and advancement of expenses in respect of any claim asserted or made within such period shall continue until the final disposition of such claim.

(c)            If Parent, 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 or conveys 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 Parent or the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, shall assume the applicable obligations set forth in this Section 6.4.

(d)            The provisions of this Section 6.4 are (i) intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each Indemnified Party and his or her heirs and (ii) in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other rights to indemnification or contribution that any such individual may have under any certificate of incorporation or bylaws, by contract or otherwise. The obligations of Parent and the Surviving Corporation under this Section 6.4 shall not be terminated or modified in such a manner as to adversely affect the rights of any Indemnified Party to whom this Section 6.4 applies unless the affected Indemnified Party shall have consented in writing to such termination or modification (it being expressly agreed that the Indemnified Parties to whom this Section 6.4 applies shall be third party beneficiaries of this Section 6.4).

6.5            Stockholder Litigation.  The Company shall provide Parent with prompt notice of any claim or Legal Proceeding (including any class action or derivative litigation) brought, asserted or commenced by, on behalf of or in the name of, against or otherwise involving the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, the Board of Directors of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, any committee thereof and/or any of the Company’s directors or officers relating to the Offer, the Merger, this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and shall keep Parent informed on a reasonably prompt basis with respect to the status thereof. The Company shall give Parent the opportunity to participate (at Parent’s expense) in the defense or settlement of any such litigation, and no such settlement shall be agreed to without the Parent’s prior written consent.

6.6            Disclosure.  The initial press releases relating to this Agreement shall be issued seperately by the Company and Parent and each such press release shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company and Parent and thereafter Parent and the Company shall consult with each other before issuing any further press release(s) or otherwise making any public statement (to the extent not previously issued or made in accordance with this Agreement) with respect to the Offer, the Merger, this Agreement or any of the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement and shall not issue any such press release or public statement without the other party’s written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. Notwithstanding the foregoing: (a) each of the Company and Parent may, without such consultation or consent, make any public statement in response to questions from the press, analysts, investors or those attending industry conferences, make internal announcements to employees and make disclosures in Company SEC Documents, so long as such statements are consistent with previous press releases, public disclosures or public statements made jointly by the parties (or individually, if approved by the other party); (b) each of the Company and Parent may, without the prior consent of the other party but subject to giving advance notice to the other party, issue any such press release or make any such public announcement or statement as may be required by Law (including the stock exchange rules); and (c) the Company need not consult with Parent in connection with such portion of any press release, public statement or filing to be issued or made with respect to any Adverse Change Recommendation.

(b)            Each of the Company and Parent will give prompt notice to the other (and will subsequently keep the other informed on a current basis of any material developments related to such notice) upon its becoming aware of the occurrence or existence of any fact, event or circumstance that (i) has, (x) with respect to the Company, had or would reasonably be expected to result in any Material Adverse Effect with respect to it and (y) with respect to Parent or Purchaser, had or would reasonably be expected to have any material adverse effect with respect to the ability of Parent or Purchaser to consummate the Offer, the Merger or any other transaction contemplated herein, or (ii) is reasonably likely to result in any of the conditions set forth in Article 7 or in Annex I not being able to be satisfied prior to the End Date.

6.8            Section 16 Matters.  Promptly after the date hereof and prior to the Expiration Date, the Company shall take all such steps as may be required to cause any dispositions of Shares resulting from the transactions contemplated by this Agreement by each individual who is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act with respect to the Company to be exempt under Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act, to the extent permitted by applicable Law.
