The closing of the Merger (the “Closing”) shall take place at the offices of Squire, Sanders & Dempsey, L.L.P., 201 N.

1.3 Effect of the Merger. At the Effective Time, the effect of the Merger shall be as provided in this Agreement, the Articles of Merger and the applicable provisions of the Florida Business Corporation Act.

As of the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Merger Sub or the Company, the Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation shall be amended and restated in the form of Exhibit B to read the same as the Bylaws of Merger Sub, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, subject to Section 5.8, until thereafter amended in accordance with the law, the Articles of Incorporation of the Surviving Corporation and such Bylaws; provided, however, that all references in such Bylaws to Merger Sub shall be amended to refer to “Gator Electronics, Inc.”

1.6 Effect on Capital Stock. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, at the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Merger Sub, the Company or the holders of any of the following securities, the following shall occur:

(a) Conversion of Shares. Each share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company (“Company Common Stock”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than any shares of Company Common Stock to be canceled pursuant to Section 1.6(b) and any Dissenting Shares, as defined in Section 1.7), will be canceled and extinguished and automatically converted into the right to receive, upon surrender of the certificate(s) representing such Company Common Stock in the manner provided in Section 1.8 (or in the case of a lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, upon delivery of an affidavit, and bond, if required, in the manner provided in Section 1.10), cash in the amount of $0.68 (the “Per Share Merger Consideration” and the aggregate of all Per Share Merger Consideration in respect of all Company Common Stock entitled thereto and the aggregate amount of cash to be issued to holders of In-the-Money Options (as defined in Section 1.6(d)(ii) pursuant to Section 1.6(d), the “Merger Consideration”). If any shares of Company Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time are unvested or are subject to a repurchase option, risk of forfeiture or other condition under any applicable restricted stock purchase agreement or other agreement with the Company (“Unvested Shares”), then the portion of the Merger Consideration issued in exchange for such Unvested Shares shall also be unvested and subject to the same repurchase option, risk of forfeiture or other condition. The portion of the Merger Consideration payable upon conversion of any Unvested Share shall be withheld by the Paying Agent and paid by the Paying Agent to each such holder in accordance with the vesting and other provisions set forth in the applicable restricted stock purchase agreement, if applicable.

(b) Cancellation of Treasury and Parent-Owned Shares. All Company Common Stock held by the Company or owned by Merger Sub, Parent or any direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company or of Parent immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be canceled and extinguished without any conversion thereof.

(c) Capital Stock of Merger Sub. Each share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of Merger Sub (the “Merger Sub Common Stock”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into one validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Surviving Corporation. Each certificate evidencing ownership of shares of Merger Sub Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall evidence ownership of such shares of capital stock of the Surviving Corporation.

-3-

(d) Stock Options. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of any holder of outstanding options to purchase Company Common Stock (the “Company Stock Options”), each Company Stock Option, whether vested or unvested, and all stock option plans or other equity-related plans of the Company, including the Gator Electronics, Inc. Stock Option Plan (as may be amended from time to time, the “Company Stock Plans”), insofar as they relate to Company Stock Options, shall be terminated as follows:

(i) At the Effective Time, each Out-of-the-Money Option (as defined below) shall be terminated in its entirety without consideration therefor, and the holder of each Out-of-the-Money Option shall have no further rights thereunder. Each Company Stock Option that has a per share exercise price greater than $0.68 and is unexpired, unexercised and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be an “Out-of-the-Money Option.”

(ii) At the Effective Time, each In-the-Money Option (as defined below) shall, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, terminate in its entirety and the holder of each In-the-Money Option shall be entitled to receive that amount of cash that is equal to the product of the number of shares of Company Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of such In-the-Money Option immediately prior to the Effective Time, multiplied by the excess by which $0.68 exceeds the per share exercise price of such In-the-Money Option. Each Company Stock Option that has a per share exercise price less than $0.68 and is unexpired, unexercised and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be an “In-the-Money Option.” Promptly after the Effective Time (but not later than three (3) business days after the date on which the Effective Time occurs), Parent shall pay the In-the-Money Option holders the Merger Consideration specified in this Section 1.6(d)(ii).

1.7 Dissenting Shares.

(a) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, shares of Company Common Stock that are outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and that are held by stockholders who shall have not voted in favor of the Merger and who shall have demanded properly in writing appraisal for such Company Common Stock in accordance with Section 1302 of the Florida Business Corporation Act (collectively, the “Dissenting Shares”) shall not be converted into, or represent the right to receive, the Per Share Merger Consideration payable for each such share of Company Common Stock. Such stockholders shall be entitled to receive payment of the appraised value of such Company Common Stock held by them in accordance with the provisions of such Section 1302, except that all Dissenting Shares held by stockholders who shall have failed to perfect or who effectively shall have withdrawn or lost their rights to appraisal of such Company Common Stock under such Section 1302 shall thereupon be deemed to have been converted into, and to have become exchangeable for, as of the Effective Time, the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration payable for each such share of Company Common Stock, upon surrender, in the manner provided in Section 1.8, of the certificate or certificates that formerly evidenced such Company Common Stock.

-4-

(b) The Company shall give Parent (i) prompt notice of any demands for appraisal received by the Company, withdrawals of such demands, and any other instruments served pursuant to the Florida Business Corporation Act and received by the Company and (ii) the opportunity to direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to demands for appraisal under the Florida Business Corporation Act. The Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of Parent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), make any payment with respect to any demands for appraisal or offer to settle or settle any such demands.

1.8 Surrender of Certificates.

(a) Paying Agent. Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall select a bank or trust company reasonably acceptable to the Company to act as agent (the “Paying Agent”) for the benefit of the holders of Company Common Stock and In-the-Money Options to receive the portion of the Merger Consideration to which holders of Company Common Stock and In-the-Money Options shall become entitled pursuant to Section 1.6(a) and Section 1.6(d)(ii).

(b) Exchange Procedures. Promptly after the Effective Time (but not later than five (5) business days after the date on which the Effective Time occurs), Parent shall cause the Paying Agent to mail to each holder of record (as of the Effective Time) of Company Common Stock, including holders of a certificate or certificates (the “Certificates”) which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock converted into the right to receive the portion of the Merger Consideration payable for such Company Common Stock, (i) a letter of transmittal in customary form and approved by the Company prior to the Effective Time (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of the Certificates to the Paying Agent and shall contain such other provisions as Parent and the Company shall reasonably agree) and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates in exchange for the portion of the Merger Consideration payable upon surrender of said Certificates. Upon surrender of Certificates for cancellation to the Paying Agent or to such other agent or agents as may be appointed by Parent, together with such letter of transmittal, duly completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto (or, if such shares are held in book-entry or other uncertified form, upon the entry through a book-entry transfer agent or the surrender of such Company Common Stock on a book entry statement (it being understood that any references herein to “Certificates” shall be deemed to include references to book-entry account statements.), the holders of such Certificates formerly representing the Company Common Stock shall be entitled to receive an amount of cash (payable by check) equal to the Per Share Merger Consideration multiplied by the number of shares of Company Common Stock formerly represented by such Certificate or Certificates, and the Certificates so surrendered shall forthwith be canceled. Until so surrendered, outstanding Certificates shall be deemed from and after the Effective Time, for all corporate purposes, to evidence only the ownership of the respective portion of the Merger Consideration to which the record holder of such Certificate is entitled by virtue thereof. Promptly following surrender of any such Certificates and the duly executed letters of transmittal, the Paying Agent shall deliver to the record holders thereof, without interest, the portion of the Merger Consideration to which such holder is entitled upon surrender of said Certificates, subject to the restrictions set forth herein.

-5-

(c) Payments with respect to Unsurrendered Company Common Stock; No Liability. At any time after twelve (12) months following 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 Company Common Stock (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 Parent (subject to abandoned property, escheat and other similar laws) only as general creditors thereof with respect to any portion of the Merger Consideration that may be payable upon due surrender of the Certificates held by them. Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of Parent, the Surviving Corporation nor the Paying Agent shall be liable to any former holder of Company Common Stock for any portion of the Merger Consideration properly delivered in respect of such Company Common Stock to a public official pursuant to any abandoned property, escheat or other similar law.

(d) Transfers of Ownership. If the payment of the portion of the Merger Consideration to which such holder is entitled is to be paid to a person other than the person in whose name the Certificates surrendered in exchange therefor are registered, it will be a condition of payment that the Certificates so surrendered be properly endorsed and otherwise in proper form for transfer (including, if requested by Parent or the Paying Agent, a medallion guarantee), and that the persons requesting such payment will have paid to Parent or any agent designated by it any transfer or other taxes required by reason of the payment of a portion of the Merger Consideration to a person other than the registered holder of the Certificates surrendered, or established to the satisfaction of Parent or any agent designated by it that such tax has been paid or is not applicable.

(e) Required Withholding. Each of the Paying Agent, Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any consideration payable or otherwise deliverable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder or former holder of the Company Common Stock such amounts as may be required to be deducted or withheld therefrom under the Code or under any provision of state or local tax law or under any other applicable legal requirement. To the extent such amounts are so deducted or withheld, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes under this Agreement as having been paid to the person to whom such amounts would otherwise have been paid.

1.9 No Further Ownership Rights in Company Common Stock. Payment of the Merger Consideration shall be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to the Company Common Stock, and after the Effective Time, there shall be no further registration of transfers on the records of the Surviving Corporation of the Company Common Stock which were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates are presented to the Surviving Corporation for any reason, they shall be canceled and exchanged as provided in this Article I.

1.10 Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. In the event that any Certificates shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, the Paying Agent shall pay in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificates, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the holder thereof, the portion of the Merger

-6-

Consideration payable with respect thereto; provided, however, that Parent or the Paying Agent may, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the payment of such portion of the Merger Consideration, require the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificates to deliver a bond in such reasonable and customary amount as it may direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against Parent, the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent with respect to the Certificates alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.

1.11 Adjustments. In the event of any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend (including any dividend or distribution of securities convertible into Company Common Stock, whether directly or indirectly), reorganization, reclassification, combination, recapitalization or other like change with respect to the Company Common Stock occurring after the date of this Agreement and prior to the Effective Time, all references in this Agreement to specified numbers of shares of any class or series affected thereby, and all calculations provided for that are based upon numbers of shares of any class or series (or trading prices therefor) affected thereby, shall be equitably adjusted to the extent necessary to provide the parties the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, reorganization, reclassification, combination, recapitalization or other like change.

1.12 Taking of Necessary Action; Further Action. If, at any time after the Effective Time, any further action is necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement and to vest the Surviving Corporation with full right, title and possession to all assets, property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of the Company and Merger Sub, the officers and directors of the Company and Merger Sub will take all such lawful and necessary action.

ARTICLE II

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF COMPANY

The Company hereby represents and warrants to Parent and Merger Sub that, except as disclosed in writing in the disclosure letter supplied by the Company to Parent, dated as of the date hereof (the “Company Disclosure Letter”), the statements contained in this Article II are true, correct and complete as of the date of this Agreement (except where another date is specified); provided, however, that the mere inclusion of an item on the Company Disclosure Letter shall not be deemed to be an admission by the Company that such item is or was material or is or was required to be disclosed therein. Subject only to such exceptions as are set forth in the Company Disclosure Letter (which exceptions shall reference the specific section and, if applicable, subsection number of this Article II to which it applies, and any information disclosed in any such section or subsection shall be deemed to be disclosed only for purposes of such section or subsection, except to the extent is reasonably apparent that the disclosure contained in such section or subsection contains enough information regarding the subject matter of other representations and warranties contained in this Article II so as to qualify or otherwise apply to such other representations and warranties), the Company represents and warrants to Parent and Merger Sub as follows:

2.1 Organization and Qualification.

(a) The Company (and any subsidiary) is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation and has the requisite corporate power and authority to own, lease and operate its assets and properties

-7-

and to carry on its business as it is now being conducted. The Company (and any subsidiary) is in possession of all franchises, grants, authorizations, licenses, permits, easements, consents, certificates, approvals and orders (“Approvals”) necessary to own, lease and operate the properties it purports to own, operate or lease and to carry on its business as it is now being conducted, except where the failure to have such Approvals has not had, and would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on the Company (as defined in Section 8.3(c)).

(b) The Company has no subsidiaries and does not own any shares of capital stock or other securities of any other person, except for such subsidiaries or persons, if any, so identified in Section_2.1(b) of the Company Disclosure Letter (which disclosure, if any, also sets forth the form of ownership and percentage voting and/or equity interest of the Company in any such person). Except as set forth in Section 2.1(b) of the Company Disclosure Letter, neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries has agreed to make nor is obligated to make nor is bound by any written or oral, agreement, contract, subcontract, lease, mortgage, indenture, understanding, arrangement, instrument, note, bond, option, warranty, purchase order, license, sublicense, insurance policy, or other legally binding instrument, obligation or commitment or undertaking of any nature (a “Contract”), in effect as of the date hereof or as may hereafter be in effect under which it may become obligated to make, any future investment in or capital contribution to any other person or any sale or other disposition of the capital stock or any of the assets or operations (except for sales of assets in the ordinary course of business) of any such person. Except as set forth in Section_2.1(b) of the Company Disclosure Letter, neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries directly or indirectly owns any equity or similar interest in or any interest convertible, exchangeable or exercisable for, any equity or similar interest in, any corporation, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture or other business, association or entity.

(c) The Company and each of its subsidiaries is duly qualified to do business as a foreign corporation, and is in good standing, under the laws of all jurisdictions where the character of the properties owned, leased or operated by it or the nature of its activities makes such qualification necessary, except where the failure to be so qualified and in good standing has not had, and would not reasonably be expected to have, either individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect on the Company. Section_2.1(c) of the Company Disclosure Letter sets forth a true and complete list of each state in which the Company and each of its subsidiaries is qualified to do business as a foreign corporation.

2.2 Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws. The Company has previously furnished or made available to Parent (i) a complete and correct copy of its Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws as amended to date (together, the “Company Charter Documents”) and (ii) the equivalent organizational documents for any subsidiary of the Company, each as amended to date. The Company Charter Documents (and equivalent organizational documents of any subsidiary of the Company) are in full force and effect. Except as set forth in Section 2.2 of the Company Disclosure Letter, the minute books (containing the records of meetings of the stockholders, the board of directors, and any committees of the board of directors), of the Company reflect all material action taken and authorizations made at such meetings, and the Company has delivered to the Parent copies of all such items (except for minutes and consents of the Company’s Board of Directors or any committee thereof relating to the transaction contemplated hereby). The Company (or any subsidiary of the Company) is not in violation of any of the provisions of the Company Charter Documents (or any equivalent organizational documents).

(a) The authorized capital stock of the Company consists of 50,000,000 shares of Company Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share, and 10,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, par value of $0.01 per share (“Company Preferred Stock”). At the close of business on September 30, 2006, (i) 5,020,000 shares of Company Common Stock were issued and outstanding, all of which are validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable; (ii) no shares of Company Common Stock were held by any subsidiary of the Company; (iii) no shares of Company Common Stock were held in treasury by the Company or by any subsidiary of the Company; (iv) 500,000 shares of Company Common Stock were reserved for issuance upon the exercise of options to purchase Company Common Stock under the Company Stock Plans.

Section_2.3(a) of the Company Disclosure Letter sets forth the following information with respect to each Company Stock Option or grant of Unvested Shares, as applicable, outstanding as of the date of this Agreement: (i) the name of the optionee or holder; (ii) the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Company Stock Option or grant of Unvested Shares; (iii) the exercise price of such Company Stock Option; (iv) the date on which such Company Stock Option or Unvested Shares was granted; (v) the applicable vesting schedule and the vesting of the forfeiture provisions for the Unvested Shares; (vi) the date on which such Company Stock Option expires; (vii) whether the exercisability of such Company Stock Option or vesting of such Unvested Shares will be accelerated in any way by the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and indicates the extent of acceleration; and (viii) whether such Company Stock Option is intended to qualify as an incentive stock option within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code. All shares of Company Common Stock subject to issuance upon exercise of such Company Stock Options, upon issuance on the terms and conditions specified in the instrument pursuant to which they are issuable, will be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable. Except as set forth in Section 2.3(a) of the Company Disclosure Letter, there are no commitments or agreements of any character to which the Company is bound obligating the Company to accelerate the vesting of any Company Stock Option or Unvested Share as a result of the Transactions or upon termination of employment or service of any person with the Company or with any of its subsidiaries following the Merger or otherwise. All outstanding shares of Company Common Stock, all outstanding Company Stock Options and all outstanding shares of capital stock of each subsidiary of the Company have been issued and granted in compliance with all applicable securities laws and other applicable Legal Requirements (as defined below). All repurchases of Company Common Stock have been made in compliance with all applicable Legal Requirements.

Except as reflected in the Financial Statements, neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries is a party to any material off-balance sheet arrangement (as defined in Item 303 of Regulation S-K promulgated under the Securities Act (“Regulation S-K”)). All reserves that are set forth in or reflected in the Interim Balance Sheet (as defined below) have been established in accordance with GAAP consistently applied. At September 30, 2006 (the “Interim Balance Sheet Date”), there were no material loss contingencies (as such term is used in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 5 (“Statement No. 5”) issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board in March 1975) that are not adequately provided for in the balance sheet as of the Interim Balance Sheet Date (the “Interim Balance Sheet”) as required by Statement No. 5. The Financial Statements comply in all material respects with the requirements of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants’ Statement of Position 97-2. The Company has not had any dispute with any of its auditors regarding accounting matters or policies during any of its past three full fiscal years or during the current fiscal year-to-date requiring public reporting, a report to the audit committee or is otherwise material. The books and records of the Company and each of its subsidiaries have been, and are being maintained in all material respects in accordance with applicable legal and accounting requirements.

(c) The Company has previously furnished to Parent a complete and correct copy of any amendments or modifications, which have not yet been filed with the SEC but which are required to be filed, to agreements, documents or other instruments which previously had been filed by the Company with the SEC pursuant to the Securities Act or the Exchange Act.

(d) The Company has established and maintains “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Exchange Act) that are reasonably designed to ensure that material information (both financial and non-financial) relating to the Company and the subsidiaries required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure and to make the certifications of the principal executive officer and the

-13-

principal financial officer of the Company required by Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (“SOX”) with respect to such reports. For purposes of this Agreement, “principal executive officer” and “principal financial officer” shall have the meanings given to such terms in SOX. Each of the principal executive officer of the Company and the principal financial officer of the Company (or each former principal executive officer of the Company and each former principal financial officer of the Company, as applicable) has made all certifications required by Sections 302 and 906 of SOX and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder with respect to the SEC Reports. Based on the most recent evaluation by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, and to the best of the knowledge of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, there are no “significant deficiencies” in the design or operation of the Company’s internal controls and procedures which are reasonably likely to materially and adversely affect the Company’s ability to record, process, summarize and report financial data or any “material weaknesses” in the Company’s internal controls. As used in this section, a “significant deficiency” in controls means a control deficiency that adversely affects the Company’s ability to initiate, authorize, record, process, or report external financial data reliably in accordance with GAAP. A “significant deficiency” may be a single deficiency or a combination of deficiencies that results in more than a remote likelihood that a misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements that is more than inconsequential will not be prevented or detected. As used in this section, a “material weakness” in controls means a significant deficiency, or a combination of significant deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected. To the Company’s knowledge, there is no fraud, whether or not material, that involves any Employee (as defined in Section 2.11(a)(v)) who has a significant role in the Company’s internal controls and procedures.

(e) To the Company’s knowledge, each of Kirkland, Russell, Murphy & Tapp and Grant Thornton LLP (each, an “Independent Auditor”), which auditor has expressed its opinion, as applicable, with respect to the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2005, December 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003 and for each of the fiscal years in the three fiscal year period ended December 31, 2005 included in the SEC Reports (including the related notes), is “independent” (under applicable rules then in effect) with respect to the Company (and any subsidiary) within the meaning of Regulation S-X since the appointment of each Independent Auditor in that capacity. The Company is in compliance with the applicable criteria of eligibility for continued quotation of the Company Common Stock on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board (the “OTCBB”) and has not received any notice from the National Association of Securities Dealers asserting any non-compliance with such rules and regulations.

(f) Except as set forth on Section 2.7(f) of the Company Disclosure Letter, no Employee or attorney representing the Company (or any subsidiary), whether or not employed by the Company (or any such subsidiary), has reported to the Board or any committee thereof or to any director or officer of the Company evidence of a material violation of securities laws, breach of fiduciary duty, fraudulent conduct or similar violation by an Employee or agent (while acting in that capacity).

2.21 Customers and Suppliers; Sales.

(a) Section 2.21(a) of the Company Disclosure Letter sets forth a list of the Company’s top twenty customers and suppliers, as measured by the dollar volume of business done individually with such customers and suppliers during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005. Except as set forth in Section 2.21(a) of the Company Disclosure Letter, there has not been any material change in the business relations of the Company and its subsidiaries with any such customers or suppliers.

-45-

(v) Parent shall not have, within three (3) days of Parent’s receipt of the notice referred to in Section 5.4(d)(iii), made an offer that the Board by a majority vote determines in its good faith judgment (after consultation with its financial advisor) to be at least as favorable, from a financial point of view, to the Company’s stockholders as such Superior Offer (it being agreed that (A) the Board shall convene a meeting to consider any such offer by Parent promptly following receipt thereof, (B) that the Board will not withhold, withdraw, amend or modify its recommendation to the Company’s stockholders in favor of the adoption of this Agreement for three (3) days after receipt by Parent of the notice referred to in Section 5.4(d)(iii), and (C) any change to the financial or other material terms of such Superior Offer shall require a new notice pursuant to Section 5.4(d)(iii) and a new three (3) day period under this Section 5.4(d)(v).

(vi) It shall not have breached any of the provisions set forth in this Section 5.4.

(e) Continuing Obligation to Call, Hold and Convene Stockholders’ Meeting; No Other Vote. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement (but subject to the Company’s right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1(e)), the obligation of the Company to call, give notice of, convene and hold the Stockholders’ Meeting shall not be limited or otherwise affected by the commencement, disclosure, announcement or submission to it of any Acquisition Proposal with respect to it, or by any Change of Recommendation. Prior to the earlier of the termination of this Agreement pursuant to its terms or the Effective Time, the Company shall not submit to the vote of its stockholders any Acquisition Proposal, or propose to do so.

(f) Compliance with Tender Offer Rules. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall prohibit the Board from taking any action necessary to comply with Rules 14d-9 and 14e-2 promulgated under the Exchange Act, or from making any other disclosure if in the good faith judgment of the Board, after consultation and written advice of its legal counsel, failure to do so would result in a violation of law, provided, however, that the content of any such disclosure shall be governed by the terms of this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing proviso, the Company shall not effect a Change of Recommendation unless specifically permitted pursuant to the terms of Section 5.4(d).

Each of Parent and the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to take such action as may be required to cause the expiration of the notice periods under the HSR Act or other Antitrust Laws with respect to such transactions as promptly as practicable after the execution of this Agreement. Parent and the Company shall take any and all of the following actions to the extent necessary to obtain the approval of any Governmental Entity with jurisdiction over the enforcement of any applicable laws regarding the transactions contemplated hereby: (i) entering into negotiations; (ii) providing information required by law or governmental regulation; and (iii) substantially complying with any “second request” for information pursuant to the Antitrust Laws.

(d) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if any administrative or judicial action or proceeding is instituted (or threatened to be instituted) challenging any transaction contemplated by this Agreement as violative of any Antitrust Law, it is expressly understood and agreed that: (i) Parent shall not have any obligation to litigate or contest any administrative or judicial action or proceeding or any decree, judgment, injunction or other order, whether temporary, preliminary or permanent; and (ii) Parent shall be under no obligation to make proposals, execute or carry out agreements or submit to orders providing for a Divestiture. “Divestiture” shall mean (A) the sale, license or other disposition or holding separate (through the establishment of a trust or otherwise) of any assets or categories of assets of Parent or any of its affiliates or the Company, (B) the imposition of any limitation or restriction on the ability of Parent or any of its Affiliates to freely conduct their business or the Company’s business or own such assets, or (C) the holding separate of the shares of Company Common Stock or any limitation or regulation on the ability of Parent or any of its Affiliates to exercise full rights of ownership of the shares of Company Common Stock.

Effective no later than the day immediately preceding the Closing Date, the Company and its ERISA Affiliates, as applicable, shall each terminate any and all group severance, separation or salary continuation plans, programs or arrangements and any and all plans intended to include a Code Section 401(k) arrangement (unless Parent provides written notice to the Company that such 401(k) plans shall not be terminated) (collectively, for purposes of this Section 5.10, the “Company Employee Plans”). Unless Parent provides such written notice to the Company, no later than five (5) business days prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall provide Parent with evidence that such Company Employee Plan(s) have been terminated (effective no later than the day immediately preceding the Closing Date) pursuant to resolutions of the Board. The form and substance of such resolutions shall be subject to advance review and approval of Parent (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). The Company also shall take such other actions in furtherance of terminating such Company Employee Plan(s) as Parent may reasonably require.

5.11 Employee Benefits. As soon as practicable after the Effective Time, Parent shall provide the employees of the Company and its subsidiaries who remain employed after the Effective Time (each, a “Transferred Company Employee” and collectively, the “Transferred Company Employees”) with similar types and levels of employee benefits as those provided to similarly situated employees of Parent; provided that nothing herein shall preclude Parent from maintaining one or more of the Company’s benefit plans and programs for a transition period following the Effective Time. Parent shall treat and cause its applicable benefit plans to treat the service of Transferred Company Employees with the Company or any subsidiary of the Company prior to the Effective Time as service rendered to Parent or any affiliate of Parent for purposes of eligibility to participate and vesting in Parent benefit plans, including applicability of minimum waiting periods for participation. Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide that no Transferred Company Employee, or any of his or her eligible dependents, who, at the Effective Time, are participating in the Company group health plan shall be excluded from the Parent’s group plan (unless covered under one of the Company’s group health plans), or limited in coverage thereunder, by reason of any waiting period restriction or pre-existing condition limitation; provided that such Transferred Employees meet applicable at work requirements as of the Effective Time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Parent shall not be required to provide any coverage, benefits, or credit inconsistent with the terms of Parent benefit plans or under circumstances in which such coverage, benefits or credit would result in a duplication of benefits.

Notwithstanding (i) above, nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as a prohibition against Parent making permissible purchases of the Company Bonds in open-market transactions in accordance with applicable laws. At the Closing, and in Parent’s sole discretion, Parent may pay all, some or none of the forgoing amounts directly to the counterparty of such Liability.

5.14 Debt Tender Offer.

(a) As soon as practicable on or about December 22, 2006 (or such other time as may be decided by the Company and Parent), the Company shall launch a cash tender offer (the “Debt Tender Offer”) at least twenty business days prior to the Closing Date for at least 97% of the outstanding Senior Secured Notes due February 3, 2009 of the Company (the “Company Bonds”), on the terms and conditions set forth on Section 5.14 of the Company Disclosure Letter. Such Debt Tender Offer shall be conducted in accordance with all applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and other applicable Legal Requirements.

Parent shall cooperate with the Company as, in the reasonable judgment of Parent, the Company or their respective counsel, may be necessary or appropriate for the preparation of the Offer Documents such that the Debt Tender Offer can commence at least twenty business days prior to the Closing Date. The Offer Documents shall be subject to the prior review and consent of Parent, which consent may not be unreasonably withheld.

(e) If at any time prior to the Effective Time, any information relating to the Company or any of its subsidiaries, affiliates, officers or directors, which if not set forth in an amendment or supplement to the documents mailed to holders in respect of the Debt Tender Offer would reasonably be expected to cause such documents to include any misstatement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, should be discovered by the Company, any Employee or advisor to the Company, the Company shall promptly notify Parent

-52-

and, to the extent required by law, rules or regulations, an appropriate amendment or supplement describing such information shall promptly be prepared and, if required, filed with the SEC and/or disseminated to the holders of the Company Bonds.

-55-

right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 7.1(b) shall not be available to any party whose action or failure to act has been a principal cause of or resulted in the failure of the Effective Time to occur on or before such date and such action or failure to act constitutes a breach of a material obligation required to be performed by such party under this Agreement at or prior to the Effective Time;

(c) by either the Company or Parent if a Governmental Entity of competent jurisdiction shall have issued an order, decree or ruling or taken any other action, in any case having the effect of permanently restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the Merger, which order, decree, ruling or other action is final and nonappealable;

(d) by either the Company or Parent if the Company Stockholder Approval shall not have been obtained by reason of the failure to obtain the required vote at the Stockholders’ Meeting or at any adjournment thereof; provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 7.1(d) shall not be available to the Company where the failure to obtain the Company Stockholder Approval shall have been caused by the action or failure to act of the Company and such action or failure to act constitutes a material breach by the Company of this Agreement;

(e) by the Company, upon approval of the Board, if (i) the Board has concluded in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that, in light of receipt of a Superior Offer, a Change of Recommendation is required in order for the Board to comply with its fiduciary duties to the Company’s stockholders under applicable law, (ii) immediately following such termination the Company pays the Termination Fee and Expenses (each as defined below) to Parent, the Company enters into a definitive agreement with respect to a Superior Offer and immediately prior to such termination, such definitive agreement was capable of acceptance, and (iii) it has complied with its obligations under Section 5.4 in all material respects; provided, however, that any termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Section 7.1(e) shall not be effective until the Company has made full payment of the Termination Fee and Expenses.

7.3 Fees and Expenses.

(a) General. Except as set forth in this Section 7.3, all fees and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the Transactions shall be paid by the party incurring such expenses whether or not the Merger is consummated.

-58-

(iv) The Company hereby acknowledges and agrees that the agreements set forth in this Section 7.3(b) are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and that, without these agreements, Parent would not enter into this Agreement. Accordingly, if the Company fails to pay in a timely manner the amounts due pursuant to this Section 7.3(b) and, in order to obtain such payment, Parent makes a claim that results in a judgment against the Company for the amounts set forth in this Section 7.3(b), the Company shall pay to Parent its reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) in connection with such suit, together with interest on the amounts set forth in this Section 7.3(b) at the prime rate of Citibank, N.A. in effect on the date such payment was required to be made. Payment of the fees described in this Section 7.3(b) shall not be in lieu of damages incurred in the event of any intentional or willful breach of or any intentional misrepresentation in this Agreement.

(v) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, each of the parties hereto hereby expressly acknowledges and hereby agrees that, with respect to any termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1 (other than a termination based upon the willful or intentional breach of, or any intentional misrepresentation made in, this Agreement) under circumstances in which the Termination Fee and Expenses are payable pursuant to this Section 7.3(b), payment of the Termination Fee and Expenses shall constitute liquidated damages with respect to any claim for damages or any other claim which Parent or Merger Sub would otherwise be entitled to assert against the Company or its assets, or against any Employees or stockholders of the Company, with respect to any such termination of this Agreement, and shall constitute the sole and exclusive remedy with respect to any such termination of this Agreement. The parties hereto expressly acknowledge and agree that, in light of the difficulty of accurately determining actual damages with respect to the foregoing upon any such termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1 (other than a termination based upon the willful or intentional breach of, or any intentional misrepresentation made in, this Agreement) under circumstances in which the Termination Fee and Expenses are payable pursuant to this Section 7.3(b), the right to such payment: (A) constitutes a reasonable estimate of the damages that will be suffered by reason of any such termination this Agreement, and (B) shall be in full and complete satisfaction of any and all damages arising as a result of any such termination of this Agreement. Except for nonpayment of the Termination Fee and Expenses pursuant to this Section 7.3(b), the parties agree that, upon any termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1 (other than a termination based upon the willful or intentional breach of, or any intentional misrepresentation made in, this Agreement) under circumstances in which the Termination Fee and Expenses payable pursuant to this Section 7.3(b), in no event shall Parent or Merger Sub be entitled to seek or to obtain any recovery or judgment against the Company or any subsidiaries of the Company or any of their respective assets, or against any of their respective directors, officers, Employees or stockholders for any such termination of this Agreement, and in no event shall Parent or Merger Sub be entitled to seek or obtain any other damages of any kind, including consequential, special, indirect or punitive damages, for any such termination of this

-59-

Agreement.

(vi) For the purposes of this Agreement, “Company Acquisition” shall mean any of the following transactions (other than the transactions contemplated by this Agreement): (A) a merger, consolidation, business combination, recapitalization, liquidation, dissolution or similar transaction involving the Company pursuant to which the stockholders of the Company immediately preceding such transaction hold less than 60% of the aggregate equity interests in the surviving or resulting entity of such transaction or any direct or indirect parent thereof, (B) a sale or other disposition by the Company of assets representing in excess of 50% of the aggregate fair market value of the Company’s business immediately prior to such sale or (C) the acquisition by any person or group (including by way of a tender offer or an exchange offer or issuance by the Company), directly or indirectly, of beneficial ownership or a right to acquire beneficial ownership of shares representing in excess of 50% of the voting power of the then outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company.

(vii) For purposes of this Section 7.3, this Agreement shall be deemed terminated by Parent pursuant to a provision giving rise to the obligation to pay the Termination Fee and Expenses if at the time of any termination hereunder Parent was so entitled to terminate this Agreement pursuant to such provision; provided that solely for the avoidance of doubt, the Company shall not be required to pay the Termination Fee and Expenses pursuant to more than one clause of this Section 7.3.

7.4 Amendment. Subject to applicable law, this Agreement may be amended by the parties hereto at any time by execution of an instrument in writing signed on behalf of each of Parent and the Company.

7.5 Extension; Waiver.
