Provided that (i) this Agreement shall not have been terminated pursuant to Article IX and (ii) none of the events set forth in clauses (C)(1) – (C)(7) of Annex A hereto, inclusive, shall have occurred and be continuing, then as promptly as practicable after the date hereof (but in no event more than ten (10) Business Days thereafter), Merger Sub shall (and Parent shall cause Merger Sub to) commence (within the meaning of Rule 14d-2 under the Exchange Act) the Offer to purchase all of the Company Shares at a price per Company Share, subject to the terms of Section 2.1(b), equal to the Offer Price. The obligation of Merger Sub to accept for payment and to pay for any Company Shares tendered (and the obligation of Parent to cause Merger Sub to accept for payment and to pay for any Company Shares tendered) shall be subject only to (i) the condition (the “Minimum Condition”) that, prior to the then scheduled expiration date of the Offer (as it may be extended from time to time pursuant to Section 2.1(c)), there be validly tendered in accordance with the terms of the Offer and not withdrawn a number of shares of Company Common Stock that, together with the Company Shares then owned by Parent and Merger Sub (if any), represents at least a majority of (x) all then outstanding Company Shares, plus (y) all Company Shares issuable upon the exercise of all then outstanding Company Options that (A) are vested and exercisable as of any then scheduled expiration date of the Offer or that would be vested and exercisable at any time within 120 calendar days following the then scheduled expiration date of the Offer assuming that the holder of such Company Options satisfies the vesting conditions applicable thereto (and after giving effect to the acceleration of any vesting that may occur as a result of the Offer), and (B) have an exercise price that is less than the Offer Price, plus, (z) all Company Shares issuable upon the exercise, conversion or exchange of any then outstanding securities (other than Company Options) that are exercisable or convertible into, or exchangeable for, Company Shares and (ii) the other conditions set forth in Annex A hereto. Parent and Merger Sub expressly reserve the right to increase the Offer Price or to make any other changes in the terms and conditions of the Offer; provided, however, that unless otherwise provided by this Agreement or previously approved by the Company in writing, neither Parent nor Merger Sub may make any change to the terms and conditions of the Offer that (A) decreases the Offer Price, (B) changes the form of consideration to be paid in the Offer, (C) reduces the number of Company Shares to be purchased in the Offer, (D) imposes conditions to the Offer in addition to the conditions to the Offer set forth in Annex A hereto, (E) amends the conditions to the Offer set forth in Annex A hereto so as to broaden the scope of such conditions to the Offer, (F) amends the conditions to the Offer set forth in Annex A hereto in any manner that is adverse to the holders of Company Shares, (G) extends the Offer in any manner other than pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of Section 2.1(c), or (H) amends or waives the Minimum Condition. The conditions to the Offer set forth in Annex A hereto are for the sole benefit of Parent and Merger Sub and may be waived by Parent and Merger Sub, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, in their sole discretion, other than (x) the Minimum Condition, and (y) the conditions set forth in clause (A), (C)(3) and (C)(4) of Annex I hereto if the directors or officers of the Company would be reasonably likely to have any material liability as a result of a waiver thereof (after taking into account the indemnification and insurance provisions set forth this Agreement for the benefit of such directors and officers), any of which conditions described in the preceding clauses (x) and

-13-

(y) may be waived by Parent and Merger Sub only with the prior written consent of the Company. The failure by Parent and Merger Sub at any time to exercise any of the foregoing rights shall not be deemed a waiver of any such right, and each such right shall be deemed an ongoing right that may be asserted at any time and from time to time.

(b) Adjustments to Offer Price. The Offer Price shall be adjusted appropriately 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), cash dividend, 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 prior to Merger Sub’s acceptance for payment of, and payment for, Company Shares pursuant to the Offer.

Neither Merger Sub nor Parent shall be entitled to extend the Offer in any manner other than pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of this Section 2.1(c) without the prior written consent of the Company.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, in the event that Parent’s designees are elected or appointed to the Company Board prior to the Effective Time pursuant to Section 2.3(a) and there shall be any Continuing Directors, the approval of a majority of such Continuing Directors (or the sole Continuing Director if there shall be only one (1) Continuing Director) shall be required in order to (i) amend or terminate this Agreement, or agree or consent to any amendment or termination of this Agreement, in any case on

(i) The Company hereby grants to Parent an irrevocable option (the “Top-Up Option”), exercisable only upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, to purchase, at a price per share equal to the Offer Price, that number of shares of Common Stock (the “Top-Up Option Shares”) equal to the lowest number of shares of Common Stock that, when added to the number of shares of Common Stock owned by Parent and its subsidiaries and affiliates at the time of such exercise, shall constitute ten thousand (10,000) shares more than 90% of the shares of Common Stock then outstanding (after giving effect to the issuance of the Top-Up Option Shares); provided, however, that (x) the Top-Up Option shall not be exercisable unless, (A) immediately prior to such exercise, Merger Sub and Parent collectively hold Company Shares in excess of 80% of the Company Shares then outstanding and (B) immediately after such exercise and the issuance of shares of Common Stock pursuant thereto, the Short Form Threshold would be reached (assuming the issuance of the Top-Up Option Shares); (y) that in no event shall the Top-Up Option be exercisable for a number of shares of Common stock in excess of the Company’s total authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock; and (z) in no event shall the Top-Up Option be exercisable for more than an aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that is equal to 19.9% of the shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding as of the date hereof (or such greater amount as may be issuable under Rule 4350(i) of the Nasdaq Marketplace Rules without the approval of the Company’s stockholders). Neither Parent nor Merger Sub may transfer the Top-Up Option to any other Person, other than a wholly-owned direct or indirect subsidiary of the Parent, without the prior written consent of the Company.

(ii) Provided that no applicable law, rule, regulation, order, injunction or other legal impediment shall prohibit the exercise of the Top-Up Option or the issuance of the Top-Up Option Shares pursuant thereto, or otherwise make such exercise or issuance illegal, Parent may exercise the Top-Up Option, in whole but not in part, at any one time after the Appointment Time and prior to the earlier to occur of (i) the Effective Time and (ii) the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.1.

(iii) In the event Parent wishes to exercise the Top-Up Option, Parent shall send to the Company a written notice (a “Top-Up Exercise Notice,” the date of which notice is referred to herein as the “Top-Up Notice Date”) specifying the denominations of the certificate or certificates evidencing the Top-Up Option Shares which the Parent wishes to receive, and the place, time and date for the closing of the purchase and sale pursuant to the Top-Up Option (the “Top-Up Closing”). The Company shall, promptly after receipt of the Top-Up Exercise Notice, deliver a written notice to the Parent confirming the number

-20-

of Top-Up Option Shares and the aggregate purchase price therefore (the “Top-Up Notice Receipt”). At the Top-Up Closing, Parent shall pay the Company the aggregate price required to be paid for the Top-Up Option Shares by wire transfer in an aggregate principal amount equal to the amount specified in the Top-Up Notice Receipt, and the Company shall cause to be issued to Parent a certificate or certificates representing the Top-Up Option Shares. Such certificates may include any legends that are required by federal or state securities laws.

(iv) Parent and Merger Sub understand that the Company Shares which Merger Sub may acquire upon exercise of the Top-Up Option will not be registered under the Securities Act and will be issued in reliance upon Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and/or Rule 506 promulgated thereunder. Parent and Merger Sub represent and warrant to the Company that Merger Sub is, or will be upon the purchase of the Top-Up Option Shares, an Accredited Investor, as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act. Merger Sub agrees that the Top-Up Option and the Top-Up Option Shares are being and will be acquired by Merger Sub for the purpose of investment and not with a view to or for resale in connection with any distribution thereof within the meaning of the Securities Act.

Without limiting the foregoing, the Company and its Subsidiaries have and enforce a policy requiring employees and certain consultants and contractors that have created any material Company IP to execute a confidentiality and assignment agreement substantially in the Company’s standard form previously provided to Parent. To the knowledge of the Company, all current or former employees, consultants and contractors of the Company or any

Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries have received written notice of the same from any third Person. To the knowledge of the Company, no Person’s products or services or other operation of such Person’s business is infringing upon or otherwise violating any material Owned Company IP. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries have asserted or threatened in writing any claim against any Person alleging the same.

To the Company’s knowledge, the Company and its Subsidiaries are not subject to any Order of any Governmental Authority that restricts or impairs the use of any material Company IP.

(k) The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby (including the Offer and the Merger) will not result in (i) the Company or its Subsidiaries granting to any third party any rights or licenses to any Company IP, (ii) any right of termination or cancellation under any Company IP Agreement, (iii) the imposition of any Lien on any Owned Company IP, except where any of the foregoing, or (iv) after the Merger, (1) Parent or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates being required to grant any third party any incremental rights or licenses to any of Parent’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ or Affiliates’ Intellectual Property or Intellectual Property Rights, (2) Parent or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates being bound by, or subject to, any incremental non-compete or other incremental material restriction on the operation or scope of their respective businesses, or (3) Parent or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates being obligated to pay any incremental royalties or other material amounts, offer any incremental discounts or being bound by any incremental “most favored pricing” terms to any third party; provided, however, that the representations made in this Section 4.22(k)(iv) will not be deemed breached solely as a result of the operation of provisions contained in an agreement or arrangement to which Parent is a party, but to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is not. As used in this Section 4.22(k)(iv), an “incremental” right, non-compete, restriction, royalty, amount, discount or “most favored pricing” term refers to a right, non-compete, restriction, royalty, amount, discount or “most favored pricing” term, as applicable, in excess, whether in terms of contractual term,

-51-

contractual rate or scope, of those that would have been required to be offered or granted, as applicable, had the parties to this Agreement not entered into this Agreement or consummated the transactions contemplated hereby.

To the knowledge of the Company, no condition has occurred that would be sufficient to entitle the beneficiary under any source code escrow arrangement under which the Company has deposited any material Company Source Code for any Company Product to require release of such Company Source Code, other than conditions that relate to the solvency or financial condition of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or that relate to the involvement of the Company or its Subsidiaries in any bankruptcy, assignment for the benefit of creditors, or other activity or proceeding under state or federal law relating to insolvency or the protection of creditors.

All such insurance policies are in full force and effect, no notice of cancellation has been received, and there is no existing default or event which, with the giving of notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute a default, by any insured thereunder, except for such defaults that would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Company Material Adverse Effect.

All such licenses are valid and in full force and effect. The Company and its Subsidiaries have complied in all material respects with all terms and conditions of any license issued or approved by the Directorate of Defense Trade Controls, the Bureau of Industry and Security, or the Office of Foreign Assets Control which is or has been in force.

Assuming that the representations of Parent and Merger Sub contained in Section 5.6 are accurate, the Company Board has taken all necessary actions so that the restrictions on business combinations set forth in Section 203 of the DGCL and any other similar applicable law are not applicable to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, including the Offer and the Merger, or the Tender and Voting Agreements or the transactions contemplated thereby.

Within five (5) days following the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Company to return to participants their respective accumulated payroll contributions not applied to the purchase of Company Common Stock under the Company ESPP, if any.

The form and substance of such resolutions shall be substantially in the form contained in Schedule 7.12(a), and any material modifications to such form shall be subject to the review and approval of Parent. The Company shall also take such other actions in furtherance of terminating any such 401(k) Plans as Parent may reasonably request.

(b) From and after the Effective Time, Parent shall permit all Continuing Employees who become employees of Parent or any Subsidiary of Parent to participate in the benefit programs of Parent or the Subsidiary to the same extent as similarly situated employees of Parent or the Subsidiary. In the U.S., Continuing Employees who become employees of Parent shall be given credit for all service with the Company or its U.S. Subsidiaries solely for purposes of determining their rate of vacation accrual under Parent’s standard procedure, and for eligibility to participate in, and vesting of benefits under, Parent’s 401(k) plan. Outside the U.S., Continuing Employees who become employees of a Subsidiary of Parent shall be given credit for service with the Company or its Subsidiaries solely as required by applicable Legal Requirements. Unused vacation days accrued by U.S. Continuing Employees under the plans and policies of the Company and its Subsidiaries shall carry over to Parent or the Surviving Corporation to the extent administratively practicable, and each such Continuing Employee shall be paid by the Company in cash for any accrued and unused vacation days that Parent determines are not administratively practicable to continue to honor.

(c) Subject to any restrictions imposed by applicable Legal Requirements, the Company shall terminate any and all group severance, separation, deferred compensation or salary continuation plans, programs or arrangements maintained by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, effective in each case as of the day immediately preceding the last day of the initial period of the Offer (not including any subsequent offer period provided by Parent pursuant to Rule 14d-11 of the Exchange Act). The Company shall provide Parent evidence that such plans that may be terminated under applicable Legal Requirements have been so terminated pursuant to resolutions of the Company Board or the board of directors of its Subsidiaries, as applicable (the form and substance of which resolutions shall be subject to review and approval of Parent).

7.13 Directors’ and Officers’ Indemnification and Insurance.

(a) Parent shall (and shall cause the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries to) honor and fulfill in all respects the obligations of the Company and its Subsidiaries under any and all indemnification agreements in effect immediately prior to the Appointment Time between the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and any of their respective current or former directors and officers and any person who becomes a director or officer of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries prior to the Appointment Time (the “Indemnified Parties”) with respect to any Legal Proceeding commenced during the period commencing with the Appointment Time and ending six (6) years following the Effective Time. In addition, for the period commencing with the Appointment Time and ending six

-72-

(6) years following the Effective Time, Parent shall (and shall cause the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries to) cause the certificate of incorporation and bylaws (and other similar organizational documents) of the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries to contain provisions with respect to indemnification, advancement of expenses and exculpation that are at least as favorable as the indemnification, advancement of expenses and exculpation provisions contained in the certificate of incorporation and bylaws (or other similar organizational documents) of the Company and its Subsidiaries immediately prior to the Appointment Time, and during such period, such provisions shall not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified in any manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of individuals who were covered by such provisions, except as required by Legal Requirements.

(b) For the period commencing with the Appointment Time and ending six (6) years after the Effective Time, Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall maintain in effect the Company’s current directors’ and officers’ liability insurance (“D&O Insurance”) in respect of acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Effective Time, covering each person covered by the D&O Insurance immediately prior to the Effective Time, on terms and conditions (including with respect to the coverage and amounts) no less favorable, in the aggregate, than those of the D&O Insurance in effect on the date of this Agreement; provided, however, that Parent and the Surviving Corporation may, at their option, substitute therefor policies of Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective Subsidiaries containing terms and conditions (including with respect to coverage and amounts) no less favorable, in the aggregate, to such persons than the D&O Insurance and from a carrier having the same or better rating as the carrier of the D&O Insurance; provided, however, that in satisfying their obligations under this Section 7.13(b), Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall not be obligated to pay annual premiums in excess of the amount set forth on Schedule 7.13(b) hereto (such amount, the “Maximum Annual Premium”), provided that if the annual premiums of such insurance coverage exceed such amount, Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall be obligated to obtain a policy with the greatest coverage available for a cost not exceeding the Maximum Annual Premium. Prior to the Appointment Time, in lieu of the foregoing and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, Parent may (or may request that the Company, in which case the Company shall) purchase a “tail” prepaid policy on the D&O Insurance for the period commencing with the Appointment Time and ending six years following the Effective Time on terms and conditions no less favorable, in the aggregate, than the D&O Insurance from a carrier having the same or better rating as the carrier of the D&O Insurance. In the event that Parent (or the Company, at Parent’s request) shall purchase such a “tail” policy prior to the Appointment Time, Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall maintain such “tail” policy in full force and effect and continue to honor their respective obligations thereunder, in lieu of all other obligations of Parent and the Surviving Corporation under the first sentence of this Section 7.13(b), for so long as such “tail” policy shall be maintained in full force and effect.

(c) If Parent or the Surviving Corporation or any of its successors or assigns shall (i) consolidate with or merge into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfer

-73-

all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, proper provisions shall be made so that the successors and assigns of the Surviving Corporation shall assume all of the obligations of Parent and the Surviving Corporation set forth in this Section 7.13.

(d) The obligations under this Section 7.13 shall not be terminated, amended or otherwise modified in such a manner as to adversely affect any Indemnified Party (or any other person who is a beneficiary under the D&O Insurance or the “tail” policy referred to in Section 7.13(b) (and their heirs and representatives)) without the prior written consent of such affected Indemnified Party or other person who is a beneficiary under the D&O Insurance or the “tail” policy referred to in Section 7.13(b) (and their heirs and representatives). Each of the Indemnified Parties or other persons who are beneficiaries under the D&O Insurance or the “tail” policy referred to in Section 7.13(b) (and their heirs and representatives) are intended to be third party beneficiaries of this Section 7.13, with full rights of enforcement as if a party thereto. The rights of the Indemnified Parties (and other persons who are beneficiaries under the D&O Insurance or the “tail” policy referred to in Section 7.13(b) (and their heirs and representatives)) under this Section 7.13 shall be in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other rights that such persons may have under the certificate or articles of incorporation, bylaws or other equivalent organizational documents, any and all indemnification agreements of or entered into by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or applicable Legal Requirements (whether at law or in equity).

(e) The obligations and liability of Parent, the Surviving Corporation and their respective Subsidiaries under this Section 7.13 shall be joint and several.

7.14 FIRPTA Certificate. On or prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall deliver to Parent a properly executed statement in a form reasonably acceptable to Parent for purposes of satisfying Parent’s obligations under Treasury Regulation Section 1.1445-2(c)(3).

7.15 Obligations of Merger Sub. Parent shall take all action necessary to cause Merger Sub and the Surviving Corporation to perform their respective obligations under this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the Offer and the Merger, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement.

(a) by mutual written agreement of Parent and the Company; or

(b) by either Parent or the Company, if the Offer shall have expired or been terminated in accordance with the terms hereof (subject to any required extensions of the Offer pursuant to the terms hereof) without Merger Sub (or Parent on Merger Sub’s behalf) having accepted for payment any Company Shares pursuant to the Offer; provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.1(b) shall not be available to any party hereto whose action or failure to fulfill any obligation under this Agreement has been the principal cause of or resulted (i) in any of the conditions to the Offer set forth in Annex A hereto having failed to be satisfied or (ii) in the expiration or termination of the Offer (subject to any required extensions of the Offer pursuant to the terms hereof) in accordance with the terms hereof without Merger Sub (or Parent on Merger Sub’s behalf) having accepted for payment any Company Shares pursuant to the Offer, and in either such case, such action or failure to act constitutes a material breach of this Agreement; or

(c) by either Parent or the Company, if the Offer shall not have been consummated on or before April 30, 2007 (the “Initial Termination Date”); provided, however, that in the event a condition to the Offer set forth in clause (A) of the first

-75-

paragraph of Annex A hereto shall not have been satisfied on or prior to the Initial Termination Date (the “Unsatisfied Condition”) and all of the other conditions to the Offer set forth on Annex A hereto shall have been satisfied on or prior to the Initial Termination Date, either Parent or the Company may elect to extend the Initial Termination Date, by written notice to the other prior to or on the Initial Termination Date, until the earlier of ten (10) business days following satisfaction of the Unsatisfied Condition or July 31, 2007 (the “Extended Termination Date”); and provided further, that the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.1(c) shall not be available to any party hereto whose action or failure to fulfill any obligation under this Agreement has been the principal cause of or resulted (i) in any of the conditions to the Offer set forth in Annex A hereto having failed to be satisfied on or before the Initial Termination Date or the Extended Termination Date, as applicable or (ii) in the expiration or termination of the Offer (subject to any required extensions of the Offer pursuant to the terms hereof) in accordance with the terms hereof without Merger Sub (or Parent on Merger Sub’s behalf) having accepted for payment any Company Shares pursuant to the Offer, and in either such case, such action or failure to act constitutes a material breach of this Agreement; or

(ii) immediately prior to entering into a definitive agreement with respect to a Superior Proposal, provided that (A) the Company received such Superior Proposal other than as a result of a breach or violation by the Company or any its Subsidiaries of the terms of Section 7.1 or Section 7.2 (or be deemed, pursuant to the terms thereof, to have breached or violated such terms) in connection with such Superior Proposal, (B) subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Company Board has effected a Company Board Recommendation Change and authorized the Company to enter into a definitive agreement in connection with such Superior Proposal, (C) the Company has

notified Parent in writing that the Company Board has received an Acquisition Proposal that constitutes a Superior Proposal and intends to enter into a definitive agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal, which notice shall include the most current version of such definitive agreement, and the identity of the Person making such Superior Proposal, all with the purpose and intent of enabling Parent and the Company to discuss in good faith a modification of the terms and conditions of this Agreement so that the transactions contemplated hereby may be effected, (D) Parent shall not have made, within the five (5) Business Day period contemplated by Section 7.2(b), a counter-offer or proposal that the Company Board reasonably determines in good faith, after consultation with an Authorized Financial Advisor and its outside legal counsel, is at least as favorable to the Company Stockholders as such Superior Proposal, (E) concurrently with the termination of this Agreement, the Company pays to Parent the Termination Fee payable pursuant to Section 9.4(b)(iii), and (F) immediately following such termination, the Company enters into a definitive agreement to effect such Superior Proposal; or

(e) by Parent:

(i) in the event (A) of a breach of any covenant or agreement on the part of the Company set forth in this Agreement or (B) that any representation or warranty of the Company set forth in this Agreement shall have been inaccurate when made or shall have become inaccurate, in either case such that the conditions to the Offer set forth in clauses (C)(1) or (C)(2) of the first paragraph of Annex A hereto, respectively, would not be satisfied as of the time of such breach or as of the time such representation and warranty became inaccurate; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that such breach by the Company or such inaccuracies in the representations and warranties of the Company are curable by the Company through the exercise of commercially reasonable efforts, then Parent shall not be permitted to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.1(e)(i) until the earlier to occur of (1) the expiration of a thirty (30) calendar day period after delivery of written notice from Parent to the Company of such breach or inaccuracy, as applicable, or (2) the ceasing by the Company to exercise commercially reasonable efforts to cure such breach or inaccuracy, provided that the Company continues to exercise commercially reasonable efforts to cure such breach or inaccuracy (it being understood that Parent may not terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.1(e)(i) if such breach or inaccuracy by the Company is cured within such thirty (30) calendar day period);

breached) in any material respect the provisions of Section 7.1 or Section 7.2, (B) the Company Board or any committee thereof shall have for any reason effected a Company Board Recommendation Change; (C) the Company shall have failed to include the Company Board Recommendation in the Schedule 14D-9 or to permit Parent to include the Company Board Recommendation in the Offer Documents; (D) the Company Board or any committee thereof shall have for any reason approved, or recommended that the Company Stockholders approve, any Acquisition Proposal or Acquisition Transaction (whether or not a Superior Proposal); (E) the Company shall have entered into a letter of intent, memorandum of understanding or Contract (other than a confidentiality agreement contemplated by Section 7.1(b)) accepting or agreeing to discuss or negotiate any Acquisition Proposal or Acquisition Transaction (whether or not a Superior Proposal) or (F) an Acquisition Proposal (whether or not a Superior Proposal) shall have been published or delivered to the Company Stockholders (and not withdrawn) by a Person unaffiliated with Parent and, within ten (10) Business Days after notice of such Acquisition Proposal is first published or delivered to the Company Stockholders, the Company shall not have published or delivered to the Company Stockholders, pursuant to Rule 14e-2 under the Exchange Act, a statement unconditionally reaffirming the Company Board Recommendation and unconditionally recommending that the Company Stockholders reject such Acquisition Proposal and not tender any Company Shares into such Acquisition Proposal if made in the form of a tender or exchange offer.

9.2 Termination Before or After Appointment Time and Prior to Effective Time. Notwithstanding the prior adoption of this Agreement by the Company Stockholders in accordance with Delaware Law, this Agreement may be terminated and the Offer and/or the Merger may be abandoned, at any time prior to the Effective Time (it being agreed that the party hereto terminating this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.2 shall give prompt written notice of such termination to the other party or parties hereto), by either Parent or the Company if any Governmental Authority of competent jurisdiction shall have (a) enacted, issued, promulgated, entered, enforced or deemed applicable to any of the transactions contemplated hereby (including the Offer and the Merger) any law, statute, rule or regulation that is in effect and has the effect of making the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated hereby (including the Offer or the Merger) illegal or which has the effect of prohibiting or otherwise preventing the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by the Agreement (including the Offer and the Merger) or (b) issued or granted any Order that is in effect and has the effect of making any of the transactions contemplated hereby (including the Offer and the Merger) illegal or which has the effect of prohibiting or otherwise preventing the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by the Agreement (including the Offer and the Merger), and such Order has become final and non-appealable.

9.3 Notice of Termination; Effect of Termination. Any proper termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.1 or Section 9.2 hereof shall be effective immediately upon the delivery of written notice of the terminating party to the other party or parties hereto, as applicable.

-78-

agent, consultant or representative of such party or parties) to the other party or parties hereto, as applicable, except (a) for the terms of Section 7.9 and Section 7.10, this Section 9.3, and Section 9.4 and Article X, each of which shall survive the termination of this Agreement and (b) that nothing herein shall relieve any party or parties hereto, as applicable, from liability for any willful breach of, or fraud in connection with, this Agreement. In addition to the foregoing, no termination of this Agreement shall affect the obligations of the parties hereto set forth in the Confidentiality Agreement (as amended pursuant to Section 7.9), all of which obligations shall survive termination of this Agreement in accordance with their terms.

9.4 Fees and Expenses.

(a) General. Except as set forth in Section 7.5(b) and Section 9.4(b), all fees and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (including the Offer and the Merger) shall be paid by the party or parties, as applicable, incurring such expenses whether or not the Offer and the Merger are consummated.

(b) Company Payments.

(i) In the event that this Agreement is terminated by Parent pursuant to Section 9.1(e)(iii), within one Business Day after demand by Parent, the Company shall pay to Parent a fee of $7,600,000 (the “Termination Fee Amount”) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account or accounts designated in writing by Parent.

(ii) The Company shall pay to Parent a fee equal to the Termination Fee Amount, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account or accounts designated in writing by Parent, within one Business Day after demand by Parent, in the event that (A) (1) this Agreement is terminated by Parent or the Company pursuant to Section 9.1(b) or Section 9.1(c) or (2) this Agreement is terminated by Parent pursuant to Section 9.1(e)(i), (B) following the execution and delivery of this Agreement and prior to the termination of this Agreement (in the case of any termination referred to in clause (A)(1) above) or prior to the breach or inaccuracy that forms the basis for the termination of this Agreement (in the case of any termination referred to in clause (A)(2) above), an Acquisition Proposal shall have been publicly announced or shall have become publicly known, or shall have been communicated or otherwise made known to the Company and (C) within twelve (12) months following the termination of this Agreement, either a Company Acquisition Transaction (whether or not the Company Acquisition Transaction referenced in the preceding clause (B)) is consummated or, within such twelve (12) month period, the Company enters into a letter of intent, memorandum of understanding or Contract providing for a Company Acquisition Transaction (whether or not the Company Acquisition Transaction referenced in the preceding clause (B)) and such Company Acquisition Transaction is consummated; provided, however, that the additional condition to payment that a Company Acquisition Transaction be so consummated shall not apply in the event that the Company terminates this Agreement.

-79-

(iii) In the event that this Agreement is terminated by the Company pursuant to Section 9.1(d)(ii), prior and as a condition to the effectiveness of such termination, the Company shall pay to Parent a fee equal to the Termination Fee Amount by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account or accounts designated in writing by Parent.

For purposes of this Section 9.4(b), the term “Company Acquisition Transaction” shall have the same meaning as the term “Acquisition Transaction” under this Agreement except that (i) all references to fifteen (15%) in the definition of “Acquisition Transaction” shall be deemed to be “forty percent (40%)” for purposes of this definition of a “Company Acquisition Transaction” and (ii) the reference to “eighty five percent (85%)” in the definition of “Acquisition Transaction” shall be deemed to be “sixty percent (60%)” for purposes of this definition of a “Company Acquisition Transaction.”

(c) Enforcement. The Company acknowledges and hereby agrees that the provisions of Section 9.4(b) are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including the Offer and the Merger), and that, without such provisions, Parent would not have entered into this Agreement. Accordingly, if the Company shall fail to pay in a timely manner the amounts due pursuant to Section 9.4(b), and, in order to obtain such payment, Parent makes a claim against the Company (i) that results in a judgment against the Company, the Company shall pay to Parent the reasonable costs and expenses of Parent (including its reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred in connection with such suit, together with interest on the amounts set forth in Section 9.4(b) at the prime rate of Citibank N.A. in effect on the date such payment was required to be made, or (ii) that results in a judgment against Parent, Parent shall pay to the Company the reasonable costs and expenses of the Company (including its reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred in connection with such suit. Payment of the fees described in Section 9.4(b) shall not be in lieu of, or replacement or substitution for, damages incurred in the event of any breach of this Agreement.

9.5 Amendment. Subject to applicable law and subject to the other provisions of this Agreement (including Section 2.3(c)), 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, Merger Sub and the Company; provided, however, that in the event that this Agreement has been adopted by the Company Stockholders in accordance with Delaware Law, no amendment shall be made to this Agreement that requires the approval of such Company Stockholders without such approval.

9.6 Extension; Waiver. At any time and from time to time prior to the Effective Time, any party or parties hereto may, to the extent legally allowed and except as otherwise set forth herein, (a) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the other party or parties hereto, as applicable, (b) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties made to such party or parties hereto contained herein or in any document delivered pursuant hereto and (c) waive compliance with any of the agreements or conditions for the benefit of such party or parties hereto contained herein. Any agreement on the part of a party or parties hereto to any such extension or waiver shall

-80-

be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed on behalf of such party or parties, as applicable. Any delay in exercising any right under this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of such right.
