NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the covenants, promises and representations set forth herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

THE MERGER

1.1 The Merger. At the Effective Time (as defined in Section 1.2) and subject to and upon the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the applicable provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law (“Delaware Law”), Merger Sub shall be merged with and into the Company (the “Merger”), the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub shall cease and the Company shall continue as the surviving corporation. The Company, as the surviving corporation after the Merger, is hereinafter sometimes referred to as the “Surviving Corporation.”

1.2 Effective Time; Closing. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, the parties hereto shall cause the Merger to be consummated by filing with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware a certificate of merger (the “Certificate of Merger”) executed in accordance with the relevant provisions of Delaware Law (the time of such filing, or such later time as may be agreed in writing by the Company and Parent and specified in the Certificate of Merger, being the “Effective Time”) on, or as soon as practicable after, the Closing Date (as herein defined). The closing of the Merger (the “Closing”) shall take place at the offices of Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati, Professional Corporation, 650 Page Mill Road, Palo Alto, California, at a time and date to be specified by the parties hereto, which shall be no later than the second business day after the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Article VI (other than those conditions which, by their terms, are to be satisfied or waived on the Closing Date, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver thereof), or at such other time, date and location as the parties hereto agree in writing. The date on which the Closing occurs is referred to in this Agreement as the “Closing Date”.

1.3 Effect of the Merger. At the Effective Time, the effect of the Merger shall be as provided in this Agreement and the applicable provisions of Delaware Law.

EXECUTION COPY

powers and franchises of the Company and Merger Sub shall vest in the Surviving Corporation, and all of the debts, liabilities, obligations, restrictions and duties of the Company and Merger Sub shall become the debts, liabilities, obligations, restrictions and duties of the Surviving Corporation.

1.4 Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of Surviving Corporation.

(a) Certificate of Incorporation. As of the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Merger Sub or the Company, the Certificate of Incorporation of the Surviving Corporation shall be amended and restated to read the same as the Certificate of Incorporation of Merger Sub, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, subject to Section 5.9(a), until thereafter amended in accordance with Delaware Law and such Certificate of Incorporation; provided, however, that as of the Effective Time the Certificate of Incorporation shall provide that the name of the Surviving Corporation is “Tanox, Inc.”

(b) Bylaws. 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 to read the same as the Bylaws of Merger Sub, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, subject to Section 5.9(a), until thereafter amended in accordance with Delaware Law, the Certificate 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 “Tanox, Inc.”

1.5 Directors and Officers of Surviving Corporation.

(a) Directors. The initial directors of the Surviving Corporation shall be the directors of Merger Sub as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, until their respective successors are duly elected or appointed and qualified or until their earlier death, resignation or removal in accordance with the Certificate of Incorporation and the Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation.

(b) Officers.

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 an amount equal to $20.00 per share, without interest (the “Per Share Merger Consideration” and the aggregate of all Per Share Merger Consideration, the “Merger Consideration”).

(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 $0.01 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 nonassessable 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.

(d) Stock Options. Except as set forth on Section 1.6(d) of the Company Disclosure Letter (as defined in Article II), each option to purchase Company Common Stock (the “Company Stock Options”), whether vested or unvested, and all stock option plans or other equity-related plans of the Company (the “Company Stock Plans”), that are unexpired, unexercised and outstanding

-4-

EXECUTION COPY

as of the Effective Time shall on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, be cancelled in its entirety at the Effective Time, and the holder of each shall be fully vested in such Company Stock Options, and the Parent shall pay or cause to be paid, as soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time, to each such holder of Company Stock Options an amount of cash equal to the product of (i) the number of shares of Company Common Stock as to which such Company Stock Option remains unexercised immediately prior to the Effective Time, multiplied by (ii) the Per Share Merger Consideration minus the exercise price of such Company Stock Option immediately prior to the Effective Time (the “Option Merger Consideration”); provided, however, that if the Per Share Merger Consideration does not exceed the exercise price of such Company Stock Option immediately prior to the Effective Time, the Option Merger Consideration for such Company Stock Option shall be zero; and provided further, that nothing in this Section 1.6(d) shall prohibit the holder of a Company Stock Option from exercising such Company Stock Option prior to the Effective Time in accordance with its terms and applicable Legal Requirements. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall timely deliver any notices to holders of Company Stock Options as may be required by the terms of the Company Stock Plans and take any and all actions necessary or appropriate to effectuate the foregoing, including, without limitation, using all reasonable efforts to obtain any applicable consents or waivers from holders of Company Stock Options that were granted under the Company’s 2000 Non-Employee Directors’ Stock Option Plan. The payment of the Option Merger Consideration to the holder of a Company Stock Option shall be reduced by any income, employment or other Tax withholding required under the Code (as defined in Section 2.13(a)(ii)) or any provision of state, local or foreign Tax law.

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 262 of Delaware Law (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

-5-

EXECUTION COPY

by them in accordance with the provisions of such Section 262, 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 262 shall thereupon be deemed to have been converted into, and to have become exchangeable for, as of the Effective Time, the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration payable for each such share of Company Common Stock, without any interest thereon, upon surrender, in the manner provided in Section 1.8, of the certificate or certificates that formerly evidenced such Company Common Stock.

(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 Delaware Law and received by the Company and (ii) the opportunity to direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to demands for appraisal under Delaware Law. The Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of Parent, make any payment with respect to any demands for appraisal or offer to settle or settle any such demands.

1.8 Surrender of Certificates.

(a) Paying Agent. At the Effective Time, Parent shall deposit or cause to be deposited with 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 to receive the funds to which holders of Company Common Stock shall become entitled pursuant to Section 1.6(a), a cash amount sufficient to pay the Merger Consideration. Such funds shall be invested by the Paying Agent as directed by Parent; earnings from such investments shall be the sole and exclusive property of Parent and the Surviving Corporation, and no part of such earnings shall accrue to the benefit of holders of the shares of Company Common Stock.

(b) Payment Procedures. As soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Paying Agent to mail to each holder of record (as of the Effective Time) of a certificate or certificates (the “Certificates”), which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock, (i) a letter of transmittal in customary form (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

-6-

EXECUTION COPY

to the Paying Agent and shall contain such other provisions as Parent shall reasonably specify) 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, and such other documents as may be required pursuant to those instructions, the holders of such Certificates formerly representing the Company Common Stock shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor the portion of the Merger Consideration payable for such shares of Company Common Stock, 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.

(c) Payments with respect to Unsurrendered Company Common Stock; No Liability. At any time following the 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 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 delivered in respect of such Company Common Stock to a public official pursuant to any abandoned property, escheat or other similar Legal Requirement.

(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

-7-

EXECUTION COPY

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, local or foreign Tax law or under any other applicable Legal Requirement. To the extent such amounts are so deducted or withheld, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes under this Agreement as having been paid to the person to whom such amounts would otherwise have been paid.

1.9 No Further Ownership Rights in Company Common Stock. Payment of the Merger Consideration shall constitute payment in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to the Company Common Stock. From and after the Effective Time, there shall be no further registration of transfers on the records of the Surviving Corporation of shares 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 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 (at the sole expense of the holder of such Certificate) in such reasonable and customary amount as it may direct as

-8-

EXECUTION COPY

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, except as are specifically disclosed in writing in the disclosure schedule supplied by the Company to Parent (which such exceptions shall reference the specific section and, if applicable, subsection number of this Article II to which it applies, and, if applicable, any information disclosed in any such section or subsection shall also be deemed to be disclosed with respect to each other such section or subsection to the extent that it is reasonably apparent on its face that such disclosure should also apply to such other section or subsection), dated as of the date hereof and certified by a duly authorized officer of the Company (the “Company Disclosure Letter”), as follows:

(a) Each of the Company and its subsidiaries is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing (with respect to jurisdictions that recognize the concept of good standing) under the laws of its respective jurisdiction of organization and has the requisite corporate power and authority to own, lease and operate its assets and properties and to carry on its business as it is now being conducted, except for such failures to be so organized, existing and in good standing (with respect to such jurisdictions that recognize the concept of good standing) or to have such power and authority that, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on the Company.

EXECUTION COPY

(b) The Company has no subsidiaries except for the persons identified in Section 2.1(b) of the Company Disclosure Letter. Section 2.1(b) of the Company Disclosure Letter also sets forth the form of ownership and percentage voting and/or equity interest of the Company in its subsidiaries and, to the extent that a subsidiary set forth thereon is not wholly owned by the Company, lists the other persons that have an ownership interest in such subsidiary and sets forth the percentage of each such ownership interest. Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries has agreed to make nor is obligated to make nor is bound by any written, oral, express or implied agreement, contract, subcontract, lease, mortgage, indenture, understanding, arrangement, instrument, note, bond, warranty, purchase order, license, sublicense, benefit plan, franchise or other instrument, obligation, commitment or undertaking that is legally binding and with respect to which there are continuing obligations, rights, or liabilities, including any amendments thereto (a “Contract”) or Legal Requirement (as defined in Section 2.3(a) below), in effect as of the date hereof, 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 of any such person.

(c) Other than the subsidiaries 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 person.

-10-

EXECUTION COPY

(d) The Company and each of its subsidiaries is duly qualified to do business as a foreign corporation, and is in good standing (with respect to jurisdictions that recognize the concept of 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(d) of the Company Disclosure Letter sets forth a true and complete list of each state and other jurisdiction which the Company and each of its subsidiaries is qualified to do business as a foreign corporation.

2.2 Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws; Minutes.

(a) The Company has previously furnished to Parent (i) a complete and correct copy of its Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws as amended to date (together, the “Company Charter Documents”) and (ii) the equivalent organizational documents for each subsidiary of the Company, each as amended to date. The Company Charter Documents and equivalent organizational documents of each subsidiary of the Company are in full force and effect. The Company is not in violation of any of the provisions of the Company Charter Documents, and no subsidiary of the Company is in violation of its equivalent organizational documents.

(b) The Company has delivered to Parent and its representatives true and complete copies of the minutes (or, in the case of minutes that have not yet been finalized, the most recent drafts thereof) of all meetings of the stockholders, the Board of Directors and each committee of such Board of Directors of the Company and each of its subsidiaries held since January 1, 2000.

2.3 Capitalization.

(a) The authorized capital stock of the Company consists of 120,000,000 shares of Company Common Stock and 10,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, par value of $0.01 per share (“Company Preferred Stock”).

The Company does not have any employee stock purchase plan, as such term is defined in Section 423 of the Code. As of the date hereof, no shares of Company Preferred Stock were issued or outstanding and there are no outstanding shares of Company Common Stock that are subject to risk of forfeiture. 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 Contracts to which the Company is bound obligating the Company to accelerate the vesting of any Company Stock Option as a result of the transactions contemplated hereby (the “Transactions”) or upon termination of employment or service with the Company or with any of its subsidiaries following the Merger (whether alone or in combination with any other events) 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). The exercise price of each Company Stock Option is no less than the fair market value of a share of Company Common Stock as determined on the date of grant of such Company Stock Option. All grants of Company Stock Options were properly approved by the Board or a duly and validly appointed committee of the Board in compliance with all applicable Legal Requirements and recorded on the Financial Statements (as defined in Section 2.9(b)) in accordance with GAAP, and no such grants involved any inappropriate “back dating,” “forward dating” or similar practices with respect to the effective date of grant. All repurchases of Company securities have been made in compliance with all applicable Legal Requirements. For the purposes of this Agreement, “Legal Requirements” means any federal, state, local, municipal, foreign or other law, statute, legislation, constitution, principle of common law, binding resolution, ordinance, code, edict, order, injunction, judgment, decree, rule, regulation, ruling or requirement issued, enacted, adopted, promulgated, implemented or otherwise put into effect by or under the authority of any Governmental Entity (as defined in Section 2.5(b)) hereof.

(a) Promptly after the date hereof, the Company shall take all action necessary in accordance with Delaware Law, the rules of Nasdaq and the Company Charter Documents to convene a special meeting of its stockholders for the purpose of considering and taking action with respect to the Company Stockholder Approval(the “Stockholders’ Meeting”), to be held as promptly as practicable after execution of this Agreement; provided that the parties acknowledge that the Company’s goal is (to the extent permissible under applicable law) to convene such special meeting within 45 days after the Proxy Statement is cleared by the SEC (or, if no SEC comments are received on or prior to the tenth day after the initial filing of the Proxy Statement, within 55 days after such initial filing), and that if the Stockholders’ Meeting is not convened within such period, the Company’s senior executives shall discuss the reasons for the failure to meet such goals with Parent’s duly appointed representatives. The Company shall use all reasonable efforts to solicit from its stockholders proxies in favor of the adoption of this Agreement and shall take all other action necessary or advisable to secure the vote or consent of its stockholders required by the rules of Nasdaq or Delaware Law to obtain such approvals. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Company may adjourn or postpone the Stockholders’ Meeting to the extent necessary to ensure that any necessary supplement or amendment to the Proxy Statement is provided to the Company’s stockholders in advance of a vote on this Agreement or, if as of the time for which the Stockholders’ Meeting is originally scheduled (as set forth in the Proxy Statement) there are insufficient shares of Company Common Stock represented (either in person or by proxy) to constitute a quorum necessary to conduct the business of the Stockholders’ Meeting. The Company shall ensure

-77-

EXECUTION COPY

that the Stockholders’ Meeting is called, noticed, convened, held and conducted, and that all proxies solicited by the Company in connection with the Stockholders’ Meeting are solicited, in compliance with Delaware Law, the Company Charter Documents, the rules of Nasdaq and all other applicable Legal Requirements.

(b) Subject to the terms of Section 5.4(d): (i) the Board shall unanimously recommend that the Company’s stockholders adopt this Agreement at the Stockholders’ Meeting; (ii) the Proxy Statement shall include (A) the fairness opinion referred to in Section 2.23 and (B) a statement to the effect that the Board has unanimously recommended that the Company’s stockholders vote in favor of the Company Stockholder Approval at the Stockholders’ Meeting; and (iii) neither the Board nor any committee thereof shall withdraw, amend, change or modify, or propose or resolve to withdraw, amend, change or modify in any manner adverse to Parent, the unanimous recommendation of the Board that the Company’s stockholders vote in favor of the Company Stockholder Approval. For purposes of this Agreement, said recommendation of the Board shall be deemed to have been modified in a manner adverse to Parent if said recommendation shall no longer be unanimous.

5.3 Confidentiality; Access to Information.

(a) The parties acknowledge that Parent and the Company have previously executed a mutual confidentiality agreement, dated as of June 22, 2006 (the “Confidentiality Agreement”), which Confidentiality Agreement will continue in full force and effect in accordance with its terms, and each of Parent and the Company will hold, and will cause their respective directors, officers, employees, agents and advisors (including attorneys, accountants, consultants, bankers, and financial advisors) to hold any Information (as defined in the Confidentiality Agreement) confidential in accordance with the terms thereof.

(b) The Company shall: (i) afford Parent and its accountants, counsel, advisors and other representatives reasonable access, upon reasonable notice, to the properties (including for the purpose of performing such environmental tests and due diligence review as Parent may desire), books, records and personnel of the Company during the period prior to the Effective Time to obtain all information concerning the business, including the status of product development efforts, properties, financial positions, results of operations

-78-

EXECUTION COPY

Except for disclosures expressly permitted by the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement, Parent shall hold, and shall cause its representatives to hold, all information received from the Company, directly or indirectly, in confidence in accordance with the Confidentiality Agreement.

(c) No information or knowledge obtained by Parent pursuant to this Section 5.3 will affect or be deemed to modify any representation or warranty contained herein or the conditions to the obligations of the parties to consummate the Transactions.

5.4 No Solicitation.

(a) No Solicitation. The Company and its subsidiaries shall not, nor shall they permit any of their respective officers and directors (or affiliates of any of such officers or directors), controlled affiliates, or employees or any investment banker, attorney, accountant or other advisor or representative retained by (or otherwise working on behalf of) the Company or any of its subsidiaries (collectively, “Representatives”) to directly or indirectly: (i) solicit, initiate, knowingly encourage, knowingly facilitate, or induce any inquiry with respect to, or the making, submission or announcement of, any Acquisition Proposal (as defined in Section 5.4(g)(i)), (ii) participate or otherwise engage in any discussions or negotiations regarding, or furnish to any person any nonpublic information with respect to, or take any other action (including granting any person a waiver or release under any standstill or similar agreement with respect to any class of equity security of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or amending, waiving or terminating the Rights Agreement, other than as contemplated by this Agreement, or redeeming any rights under the Rights Agreement, other than as contemplated by this Agreement) to facilitate any inquiries or the making of any proposal that constitutes or may reasonably be expected to lead to, any Acquisition Proposal, (iii) engage in discussions with any

-79-

EXECUTION COPY

person with respect to any Acquisition Proposal, except as to the existence of these provisions, (iv) approve, endorse or recommend any Acquisition Proposal (except to the extent specifically permitted pursuant to Section 5.4(d)), or (v) enter into any letter of intent or similar document or any Contract relating to an Acquisition Proposal (other than a confidentiality agreement entered into with a party making an Acquisition Proposal as permitted by Section 5.4(c)(i) below). The Company and its subsidiaries will immediately cease, and will cause its Representatives to immediately cease, any and all existing activities, discussions or negotiations with any third parties conducted heretofore with respect to any Acquisition Proposal.

(b) Notification of Unsolicited Acquisition Proposals.

(i) As promptly as practicable (but in no event more than 36 hours thereafter) after receipt of any Acquisition Proposal or any request for nonpublic information or inquiry which it reasonably believes would lead to an Acquisition Proposal, the Company shall provide to Parent written notice of the material terms and conditions of such Acquisition Proposal, request or inquiry, and the identity of the person or group making any such Acquisition Proposal, request or inquiry, a copy of all written materials provided in connection with such Acquisition Proposal, request or inquiry and a written summary of any such Acquisition Proposal, request or inquiry, if it is not in writing. After receipt of the Acquisition Proposal, request or inquiry, the Company shall continue to provide to Parent as promptly as practicable (but in no event more than 48 hours thereafter) written notice setting forth all such information as is reasonably necessary to keep Parent informed in all material respects of the status and material terms (including material amendments or proposed material amendments) of any such Acquisition Proposal, request or inquiry and shall promptly provide to Parent a copy of all written materials provided in connection with such Acquisition Proposal, request or inquiry.

(ii) The Company shall provide Parent with at least 48 hours prior notice (or such lesser prior notice as is provided to the members of the Board) of any meeting at which the Board is reasonably expected to consider any Acquisition Proposal.

(c) Superior Offers. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 5.4, in the event that the Company or any of its subsidiaries

-80-

EXECUTION COPY

receives a bona fide written Acquisition Proposal from a third party that is not solicited or otherwise procured in violation of Section 5.4(a) that the Board has in good faith concluded (following consultation with its outside legal counsel and its financial advisor) is, or is reasonably likely to be, a Superior Offer (as defined in Section 5.4(g)(ii)), it may then take the following actions:

(i) Furnish nonpublic information to the third party making such Acquisition Proposal (and its Representatives), provided that (A) (1) concurrently with furnishing any such nonpublic information to such party, it gives Parent at least one business day prior written notice of its intention to furnish nonpublic information and (2) it receives from the third party an executed confidentiality and standstill agreement, the terms of which are at least as restrictive as the terms contained in the Confidentiality Agreement and (B) contemporaneously with furnishing any such nonpublic information to such third party, the Company furnishes such nonpublic information to Parent (to the extent such nonpublic information has not been previously so furnished); and

(ii) Engage in negotiations with the third party with respect to the Acquisition Proposal, provided that concurrently with entering into negotiations with such third party, the Company gives Parent at least one business day prior written notice of its intention to enter into negotiations with such third party.

(d) Changes of Recommendation. In response to the receipt of a Superior Offer, the Board may withhold, withdraw, amend or modify its unanimous recommendation in favor of the Merger, and, in the case of a Superior Offer that is a tender or exchange offer made directly to its stockholders, may recommend that its stockholders accept the tender or exchange offer (any of the foregoing actions, whether by the Board or a committee thereof, a “Change of Recommendation”) or terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1(h) of this Agreement (provided, however, that the Company shall not terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1(h) and any purported termination pursuant to Section 7.1(h) shall be void and of no further force or effect, unless prior to or concurrently with such termination, the Company pays the Termination Fee), only if all of the following conditions in clauses (i) through (v) are met:

(i) A Superior Offer with respect to the Company has been made and has not been withdrawn;

-81-

EXECUTION COPY

(ii) The Stockholders’ Meeting has not occurred;

(iii) The Company shall have (A) provided to Parent five business days prior written notice which shall state expressly (1) that the Company has received a Superior Offer, (2) the material terms and conditions of the Superior Offer and the identity of the person or group making the Superior Offer, and (3) that the Board intends to effect a Change of Recommendation and the manner in which it intends to do so or terminate this Agreement and enter into a definitive agreement with respect to such Superior Offer, (B) provided to Parent a copy of all written materials delivered to the person or group making the Superior Offer in connection with such Superior Offer that have not already been provided to Parent, (C) made available to Parent all materials and information made available to the person or group making the Superior Offer in connection with such Superior Offer and (D) during such five business day period, engaged in good faith negotiations to amend this Agreement in a manner as would enable the Company to proceed with the Board’s recommendation to the Company’s stockholders in favor of the Company Stockholder Approval with respect to this Agreement, as it may be amended (and the Company shall make its Chairman and senior executives available for discussions with Parent and otherwise negotiate in good faith with Parent with respect thereto during such five business day period);

(iv) The Board has concluded in good faith, following consultation with its outside legal counsel and financial adviser, that, in light of such Superior Offer and notwithstanding any adjustments or negotiations pursuant to Section 5.4(d)(iii)(D), the failure of the Board to effect a Change of Recommendation is reasonably likely to constitute a breach of its fiduciary duties to the Company’s stockholders under applicable law; and

(v) It shall not have materially breached Section 5.2.

Provided however, that in the event of any material revisions to the Superior Offer, the Company shall deliver a new written notice to Parent and comply with the requirements of this Section 5.4(d), including the five-day good faith notice period provided for, with respect to such new written notice.

(e) Continuing Obligation to Call, Hold and Convene Stockholders’ Meeting; No Other Vote. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the obligation of the Company to call, give notice of, convene and hold the Stockholders’ Meeting shall not be limited or otherwise

-82-

EXECUTION COPY

affected by the commencement, disclosure, announcement or submission to it of any Acquisition Proposal with respect to it, or by any Change of Recommendation. 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 and disclosing to its stockholders a position contemplated by Rules 14d-9 and 14e-2(a) promulgated under the Exchange Act. 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).

(g) Certain Definitions. For purposes of this Agreement, the following terms shall have the following meanings:

(i) “Acquisition Proposal” shall mean any offer or proposal (whether written, oral or otherwise), relating to any transaction or series of related transactions involving: (A) any purchase or acquisition by any person or “group” (as defined under Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder) of more than a fifteen percent (15%) interest in the total outstanding voting securities of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or any tender offer or exchange offer that if consummated would result in any person or group beneficially owning fifteen percent (15%) or more of the total outstanding voting securities of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or any merger, consolidation, business combination or similar transaction involving the Company or any of its subsidiaries, (B) any sale, lease (other than in the ordinary course of business), exchange, transfer, license (other than in the ordinary course of business) or disposition of more than fifteen percent (15%) of the assets of the Company (including its subsidiaries taken as a whole), or (C) any liquidation or dissolution of the Company, in each case other than the Transactions; and

-83-

EXECUTION COPY

entity of such transaction or any direct or indirect parent or subsidiary thereof, on terms that the Board has in good faith concluded (following the receipt of advice of its outside legal counsel and its financial adviser), taking into account, among other things, all legal, financial, regulatory and other aspects of the offer and the person making the offer, to be more favorable, from a financial point of view, to the Company’s stockholders (in their capacities as stockholders) than the terms of the Merger (as they may be amended in accordance with Section 5.4(d)(iii)(D)) and is reasonably capable of being consummated and for which financing, to the extent required, is then fully committed or reasonably determined by the Board to be available to consummate such a transaction.

(h) Without limiting the foregoing, it is understood that (i) any violation of the restrictions set forth above by any officer or director of the Company and (ii) any violation of the restrictions set forth above by any agent or representative of the Company of which the Company has knowledge (prior to such violation) shall be deemed to be a breach of this Agreement by the Company. The Company and its subsidiaries shall not (A) authorize, direct or permit any of the persons identified in clauses (i) and (ii) of this Section 5.4(h) or (B) authorize or direct any affiliate of the Company to violate the provisions of this Section 5.4 and shall promptly inform all such Representatives of the restrictions set forth in this Section 5.4.

5.5 Public Disclosure.

(a) The initial press release with respect to the execution of this Agreement shall be a joint press release to be reasonably agreed upon by Parent and the Company. Thereafter, the Company shall not issue or cause the publication of any press release or other public announcement (to the extent not previously issued or made in accordance with this Agreement) with respect to the Merger, this Agreement or the other Transactions without the prior consent of Parent, except: (a) as may be required by applicable Legal Requirements or by the rules and regulations of Nasdaq, in which case the Company shall not issue or cause the publication of such press release or other public announcement without prior consultation with Parent, to the extent practicable and (b) as may be consistent with actions taken by the Company or the Board (or any committee thereof) pursuant to Section 5.4(d).

-84-

(c) The Company shall consult with Parent before issuing any press release or otherwise making any public statement with respect to the Company’s earnings or results of operations, and shall not issue any such press release or make any such public statement prior to such consultation.

5.6 Reasonable Efforts; Regulatory Matters.

(a) Other than taking any action permitted by Section 5.4(d) and subject to the limitations set forth in Section 5.6(d), upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, each of the parties agrees to use all reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, and to assist and cooperate with the other parties in doing, all things necessary, proper or advisable to consummate and make effective, in the most expeditious manner practicable, the Transactions, including using all reasonable efforts to accomplish the following: (i) the taking of all reasonable acts necessary to cause the conditions precedent set forth in Article VI to be satisfied, (ii) the obtaining of all necessary actions or non-actions, waivers, consents, approvals, orders and authorizations from Governmental Entities and the making of all necessary registrations, declarations and filings (including registrations, declarations and filings with Governmental Entities, if any) and the taking of all reasonable steps as may be necessary to avoid any suit, claim, action, investigation or proceeding by any Governmental Entity, (iii) the obtaining of all consents, approvals or waivers from third parties required as a result of the Transactions, (iv) responding to any investigations or proceedings related to this Agreement or the consummation of the Transactions, including a request for additional information or documents, and (v) the execution or delivery of any additional instruments reasonably necessary to consummate the Transactions, and to fully carry out the purposes of, this Agreement.

-85-

EXECUTION COPY

limiting the foregoing, the Company and its Board shall, if any state takeover statute or similar statute or regulation is or becomes applicable to the Transactions or this Agreement, use all reasonable efforts to ensure that the Transactions may be consummated as promptly as practicable on the terms contemplated by this Agreement and otherwise to minimize the effect of such statute or regulation on the Transactions and this Agreement.

(b) Each of Parent and the Company shall, as soon as practicable, make any initial filings required under the HSR Act, and as promptly as practicable make any other additional filings required by any other applicable Antitrust Laws (as defined below). Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 5.6(d), each of Parent and the Company shall use all reasonable efforts to take such action as may be required to cause the expiration or early termination of the waiting or notice periods under the HSR Act or other Antitrust Laws with respect to the Transactions as promptly as possible after execution of this Agreement. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the parties shall consult and cooperate with one another, and consider in good faith the views of one another, in connection with any analyses, appearances, presentations, memoranda, briefs, arguments, opinions and proposals made or submitted by or on behalf of any party hereto in connection with proceedings under or relating to the HSR Act or any foreign or other Antitrust Law; provided, that with respect to any such analyses, appearances, presentations, memoranda, briefs, arguments, opinions or proposals, each of Parent and the Company need not supply the other (or its counsel) with copies (or in case of oral presentations, a summary) to the extent that any law, treaty, rule or regulation of any Governmental Entity applicable to such party or confidentiality agreement to which such party is bound (which shall be governed in accordance with the procedures put in place by Parent and the Company on or prior to the date hereof) requires such party or its subsidiaries to restrict or prohibit access to any such properties or information. For purposes of this Agreement, “Antitrust Laws” shall mean the HSR Act and any other federal, state or foreign statutes, rules, regulations, orders or decrees that are designed to prohibit, restrict or regulate actions having the purpose or effect of monopolization or restraint of trade.

(c) Each party will notify the other promptly upon the receipt of: (i) any comments from any officials of any Governmental Entity in connection with any filings made pursuant to this Section 5.6, and (ii) any request by any officials of any Governmental Entity for amendments or supplements to any

-86-

EXECUTION COPY

filings made pursuant to, or information provided to comply in all material respects with, any Legal Requirements. Whenever any event occurs that is required to be set forth in an amendment or supplement to any filing made pursuant to Section 5.6(b), each party will promptly inform the other of such occurrence and cooperate in filing with the applicable Governmental Entity such amendment or supplement. To the extent reasonably practicable, neither the Company nor Parent shall, nor shall they permit their respective representatives to, participate independently in any substantive meeting or discussion, either in person or by telephone, with any Governmental Entity in connection with the proposed Transactions unless it consults with the other party in advance and, to the extent not prohibited by such Governmental Entity, gives the other party the opportunity to attend and participate.

(d) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary (including the other provisions of this Section 5.6), 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 any decree, judgment, injunction or other order, whether temporary, preliminary or permanent brought by or before an administrative tribunal, court or other similar tribunal or body; (ii) Parent shall be under no obligation to make proposals, execute or carry out agreements or submit to orders providing for a Divestiture and (iii) the Company may not conduct or agree to conduct a Divestiture without the prior written consent of Parent. “Divestiture” shall mean (1) 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, (2) 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 (3) 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.

5.7 Notification. Each party shall give prompt notice to the other party upon becoming aware that any representation or warranty made by it contained in this Agreement has become untrue or inaccurate or of any failure to comply with or satisfy in any respect any covenant, condition or agreement to be complied

-87-

EXECUTION COPY

with or satisfied by it under this Agreement, in each case such that the conditions set forth in Section 6.2(a) or Section 6.2(b) (as it relates to knowledge acquired by Parent) or Section 6.3(a) or Section 6.3(b) (as it relates to knowledge acquired by the Company), as applicable, would not be satisfied; provided, however, that no such notification shall affect the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements of the parties or the conditions to the obligations of the parties under this Agreement. Each party shall promptly notify the other party of (i) any change, event, violation, inaccuracy, circumstance or effect that has had or would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on such party and (ii) any Actions commenced or, to such party’s knowledge, threatened against, relating to or involving or otherwise affecting such party or any of its subsidiaries that relate to the consummation of the Merger.

5.8 Third Party Consents and Notices.

(a) As soon as practicable following the date hereof, the Company shall use all reasonable efforts to obtain any consents, waivers and approvals under any Company Contracts required to be obtained in connection with the consummation of the Transactions, as set forth on Section 5.8 of the Company Disclosure Letter; provided that neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries shall, without the prior written consent of Parent, expend any material amount, assume any material Liability or suffer or permit the loss of any material right or benefit in connection with obtaining any of the foregoing consents, waivers or approvals.

(b) As soon as practicable following the date hereof, the Company shall deliver any notices required under any Company Contracts that are required to be provided in connection with the execution of this Agreement or prior to the effectiveness of the Merger.

(c) With respect to all Employees (other than Consultants), the Company and/or any of its subsidiaries shall be responsible for providing any notices required to be given and otherwise complying with WARN or similar statutes or regulations of any jurisdiction relating to any plant closing or mass layoff (or similar triggering event) caused by the Company or any of its subsidiaries, and Parent shall have no responsibility or Liability under WARN (or any other similar statute or regulation) with respect to such Employees. If Parent determines that an event would trigger WARN obligations (or obligations arising

-88-

EXECUTION COPY

under similar statutes or regulations) within 60 days following the Effective Time, the Company or the Company’s subsidiaries shall, at Parent’s request, provide notices to all Employees (other than Consultants) as are required to be provided under WARN (or any similar statute or regulation), in a form approved by and as directed by Parent.

5.9 Indemnification.

(a) From and after the Effective Time, Parent shall, and shall cause the Surviving Corporation to fulfill and honor in all respects the obligations with respect to all rights to indemnification and exculpation from liabilities, including advancement of expenses, for acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Effective Time now existing in favor of the current and former directors or officers of the Company pursuant to any indemnification agreements between the Company and its directors and officers (in each case, as in effect on the date hereof and listed on the Company Disclosure Letter), and any indemnification provisions under the Company Charter Documents as in effect on the date hereof in favor of the Company’s directors and officers and Employees (the “Indemnified Parties”), and such obligations shall survive the Merger and shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with their terms. The Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation will contain provisions with respect to exculpation and indemnification that are at least as favorable to the Indemnified Parties as those contained in the Company Charter Documents as in effect on the date hereof, which provisions will not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified for a period of six (6) years from the Effective Time in any manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of individuals who, immediately prior to the Effective Time, were Employees or agents of the Company, unless such modification is required by applicable law.

(b) At any time prior to the Closing, Company may purchase, for a price (which shall in no event exceed the Cap Amount regardless of any amounts credited against premium payments previously paid by the Company) not to exceed the amount set forth on Section 5.9(b) of the Company Disclosure Letter (the “Cap Amount”), directors’ and officers’ liability tail coverage (for a period of six (6) years following the Effective Time), covering those persons who are currently covered by the Company’s directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy, on terms comparable to those applicable to the current directors and officers of the Company, and covering all periods prior to the Effective Time (the

-89-

EXECUTION COPY

“Tail Coverage”). Following the Closing, in the event Company shall not have purchased the Tail Coverage, Parent shall (or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to) purchase the Tail Coverage, provided that in no event shall Parent or the Surviving Corporation be required to expend in the aggregate in connection with the purchase of such Tail Coverage an amount in excess of the Cap Amount and, in the event a comparable level of directors’ and officers’ liability Tail Coverage is not readily available for the Cap Amount without undue effort or expense, Parent (or the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be) shall only be obligated to purchase such Tail Coverage as may be purchased for the Cap Amount.

(c) If the Surviving Corporation or any of its successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other person and is not 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 other assets to any person, then, and in each such case, Parent shall cause proper provision to be made so that the successors and assigns of the Surviving Corporation shall expressly assume the obligations set forth in this Section 5.9. If (A) the Surviving Corporation transfers any material portion of its assets, in a single transaction or in a series of transactions or (B) Parent takes any action to materially impair the financial ability of the Surviving Corporation to satisfy the obligations referred to in this Section 5.9, Parent will either guarantee such obligations or take such other action to insure that the ability of the Surviving Corporation, legal and financial, to satisfy such obligations will not be diminished in any material respect.

(d) This Section 5.9 is (i) intended for the irrevocable benefit of, and to grant third party rights to, the Indemnified Parties and shall be binding on all successors and assigns of Parent, the Company and the Surviving Corporation and (ii) in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other rights to indemnification or contribution that any such person may have by Contract or otherwise. Each of the Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to enforce the covenants contained in this Section 5.9.

5.10 Termination of Certain Benefit Plans. Except as set forth on Section 5.10 of the Company Disclosure Letter, 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

-90-

EXECUTION COPY

written notice to the Company that such 401(k) plans shall not be terminated) (collectively, for purposes of this Section 5.10 “Company Group 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 Group 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. The Company also shall take such other actions in furtherance of terminating such Company Group Employee Plan(s) as Parent may reasonably require.

5.11 Section 16 Matters. The Company shall take all such steps as may be required (to the extent permitted under applicable law) to cause any disposition of Company Common Stock (including derivative securities with respect to Company Common Stock) resulting from the transactions contemplated by Article I of this Agreement by each Company Insider to be exempt under Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act. “Company Insiders” shall mean those individuals who are subject to the reporting requirement of Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act with respect to the Company.

At least five (5) business days prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall, to the extent not already disclosed on Section 2.13(l)(ii) of the Company Disclosure Letter, deliver to Parent a schedule which sets forth each person who the Company reasonably believes is, with respect to the Company or any ERISA Affiliate, a “disqualified individual” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder, as of the date such schedule is delivered to Parent.

-91-

EXECUTION COPY

5.13 Company Rights Agreement. The Company shall not redeem the Rights or amend or modify (including by delay of the “Distribution Date” thereunder) or terminate the Company Rights Agreement prior to the Effective Time unless, and only to the extent that: (i) it is required to do so by order of a court of competent jurisdiction or (ii) the Board has concluded in good faith, following consultation with its outside legal counsel, that the failure of the Board to effect such an amendment, modification or termination is reasonably likely to constitute a breach of its fiduciary duties to the Company’s stockholders under applicable law.

5.14 Takeover Statutes.

(a) The Board shall take all actions sufficient to render inapplicable to the Merger, the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the Company Voting Agreements and the Transactions and the transactions contemplated by the Company Voting Agreements, the provisions of Section 203 of Delaware Law applicable to a “business combination” (as defined in such Section 203 and any other state takeover statue or similar statute or regulation).

(b) If any “fair price”, “moratorium”, “control share acquisition” or other form of anti-takeover statute or regulation shall become applicable to the Transactions, the Company and the members of the Board shall grant such approvals and take such actions as are reasonably necessary so that the Transactions may be consummated as promptly as practicable on the terms contemplated hereby and otherwise act to eliminate or minimize the effects of such statute or regulation on the Transactions.

5.15 FIRPTA Compliance. On the Closing Date, the Company shall deliver to Parent a properly executed statement prepared in accordance with the certification requirements set forth in Treasury Regulations Section 1.1445-2(c)(3) certifying that the shares of Company Common Stock are not U.S. real property interests.
