Exhibit B

Cancellation and Exchange of Company Stock Options into Parent Common Stock

As of the Effective Time, in accordance with the terms of the Company’s 2004 Stock Option Plan (the “Company Stock Option Plan”), pursuant to Section 1.5(f) of the Agreement and the approval of the Committee (as defined in the Company Stock Option Plan) pursuant to Section 4.2(b) of the Company Stock Option Plan and without any action on the part of the holders of any Company Stock Options, each Company Stock Option granted to each participant under the Company Stock Option Plan that is outstanding immediately before the Effective Time, whether vested or unvested, shall be cancelled and, in exchange for such cancellation, each such participant shall be issued (subject to delivery to Parent of an appropriate Option Cancellation and Exchange Agreement by no later than March 15, 2008 after which time Parent shall not be liable to any such participant for shares of Parent Common Stock delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law), immediately after the Effective Time, under the Parent’s 2006 Long-Term Incentive Plan or otherwise, the number of shares of Parent Common Stock (a “Stock Grant”) that is equal to the Net Option Value.

The “Net Option Value” is equal to quotient of (1) the product of (i) the Company Merger Share Price for each Company Stock Option less the exercise price per share for each Company Stock Option multiplied by (ii) the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to each Company Stock Option divided by (2) $31.42, provided however, that the maximum number of shares of Parent Common Stock into which the aggregate Company Stock Options shall be exchanged shall not exceed 431,936 (“Parent Share Maximum”). If the

aggregate Net Option Value for all Stock Grants as calculated above exceeds the Parent Share Maximum, then each of the Company Stock Options shall be exchanged into (i) the number of shares of Parent Common Stock (rounded down to the nearest whole share) equal to the Parent Share Maximum multiplied by the Net Option Value Percentage applicable to such Company Stock Option and (ii) the amount of any Excess Payment (as defined in the supplemental letter from Parent to the holders of Company Stock Options). The “Net Option Value Percentage” of the Company Stock Options is equal to the quotient of (1) the Net Option Value of the Company Stock Option issued to a participant as would otherwise be calculated except for exceeding the Parent Share Maximum divided by (2) the aggregate Net Option Value of all Company Stock Options issued to all participants as would otherwise be calculated except for exceeding the Parent Share Maximum.

The “Company Merger Share Price” is calculated as follows: divide (1) the Merger Consideration (prior to adjustments pursuant to Sections 2.4 and 2.5 of the Agreement) by (2) 769,170.

The number of shares of Parent Common Stock equal to the product of 4.92% times the number of shares of each Stock Grant (rounded up to the nearest whole share amount) plus 4.92% of the amount of any Excess Payment (as defined in the supplemental letter from Parent to the holders of Company Stock Options) (the “Escrowed Shares”) shall be deposited with Parent as security and a source of payment for Sellers’ indemnification obligations and recovery of any Working Capital Deficit under the Agreement. Parent may offset against the Escrowed Shares for recovery of any of Sellers’ indemnification obligations and for recovery of any Working Capital Deficit under the Agreement at a price per share of Parent Common Stock of

$31.42, unless the holder elects to receive the Escrowed Shares in exchange for paying Parent $31.42 per share. Until the Escrow Fund is fully distributed and the Escrow Agreement is terminated by its terms, (i) the Escrowed Shares and any interest thereon shall not be sold, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise transferred by holder and (ii) the Escrowed Shares shall remain in the custody of Parent acting as escrow agent and as custodian for holder’s account in accordance with this Exhibit B and pursuant to each holder’s Option Cancellation and Exchange Agreement. To the extent any holder’s obligation for Indemnifiable Losses under the Agreement (treating each holder of Company Stock Options as if such holder were a signatory to the Agreement solely for the purpose of determining John Shermyen’s obligation arising from this Exhibit B and his Option Cancellation and Exchange Agreement) exceeds the value of the Escrowed Shares, John Shermyen shall be solely responsible for any and all such Indemnifiable Losses. John Shermyen shall deposit in escrow with Parent, in addition to Escrowed Shares deposited pursuant to the first sentence of this paragraph, 18,775 shares of Parent Common Stock (the “Additional Escrowed Shares”). The Additional Escrowed Shares shall be security and a source of payment for holder’s obligations for Indemnifiable Losses under the Agreement (treating each holder of Company Stock Options as if such holder were a signatory to the Agreement solely for the purpose of determining John Shermyen’s obligation arising from this Exhibit B and his Option Cancellation and Exchange Agreement). Parent may offset against the Additional Escrowed Shares for recovery of any such holder obligation, unless John Shermyen elects to receive the Additional Escrowed Shares in exchange for paying Parent $31.42 per share.

Each holder of a Company Stock Option shall be entitled to share in such Earn Out Payment and any Working Capital Surplus determined on a pro rata basis based on the number

of shares in each holder’s Stock Grant. Such right to participate in any Earn Out Payment and any Working Capital Surplus shall be additional consideration for the cancellation of each Company Stock Option as set forth herein. All payments, to the extent required by Law, shall be reduced by all applicable withholdings.

To the extent any Stock Grant and any Excess Payment is subject to applicable tax withholding (as determined in good faith by Parent and net of any Excess Payment which shall be utilized to offset any applicable tax withholding), the holder of such Stock Grant (excluding John Shermyen) shall accept a loan from Parent in an amount equal to the applicable tax withholding (each a “Holder Loan”). In lieu of accepting the Holder Loan, the holder of such Stock Grant may pay to Parent the amount of the applicable withholding obligation (as determined in good faith by Parent) in immediately available funds on or prior to the Effective Time (if such holder’s Option Cancellation and Exchange Agreement is delivered to Parent on or prior to the Effective Time) or at the time of delivery of such holder’s Option Cancellation and Exchange Agreement (if such holder’s Option Cancellation and Exchange Agreement is delivered to Parent after the Effective Time). Parent shall utilize such payment or the proceeds of such Holder Loan to satisfy the applicable withholding obligation (as determined in good faith by Parent).

Such Holder Loan shall be evidenced in the applicable holder’s Option Cancellation and Exchange Agreement, may be prepaid without penalty and shall accrue interest at a rate of 6% per annum, and all obligations under such Holder Loan shall be due and payable on the date that is 180 days after the Effective Time or 180 days after delivery of the holder’s Option Cancellation and Exchange Agreement if such agreement is delivered after the Effective Time.

It shall constitute an event of default under such Holder Loan if the applicable holder fails to pay in full all obligations under such Holder Loan on or before the due date thereof or if such holder becomes subject to any bankruptcy or similar proceeding (in which case all obligations under such Holder Loan shall be automatically accelerated without further action on the part of Parent).

As collateral security for the prompt and complete payment when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) for all existing and future obligations under such Holder Loan, the applicable holder shall grant a security interest to Parent in such holder’s right, title and interest in and to 40% of such holder’s Stock Grant, exclusive of the holder’s Escrowed Shares, together with all proceeds (as defined in the Uniform Commercial Code of any applicable jurisdiction thereof (the “UCC”)) thereof with respect to such shares (the “Collateral”). In order to perfect such security interest, Parent shall be deemed to have taken delivery (as defined in the UCC) of the securities certificates constituting the Collateral in registered form evidencing such shares by maintaining possession of such securities certificates. Unless a holder requests physical delivery of certificated shares, Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to electronically deposit the shares constituting the Stock Grant which are not Escrowed Shares or Collateral in a brokerage account designated by each holder immediately after the Effective Time (if such holder’s Option Cancellation and Exchange Agreement is delivered to Parent on or prior to the Effective Time) or immediately after the time of delivery of such holder’s Option Cancellation and Exchange Agreement (if such holder’s Option Cancellation and Exchange Agreement is delivered to Parent after the Effective Time). Upon each holder’s sale of shares constituting the Stock Grant, each holder shall use commercially reasonable efforts to immediately remit the proceeds of such sale of shares to Parent in payment

of the applicable Holder Loan. After the Holder Loan is repaid in full, Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to immediately deliver the remaining shares of each holder’s Stock Grant to holder, other than the Escrowed Shares.

If an event of default shall occur and be continuing under such Holder Loan, Parent may exercise all rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC or any other applicable law. In furtherance of Parent’s rights and remedies during the existence of an event of default, each holder will irrevocably constitute and appoint Parent and any officer or agent thereof, with full power of substitution, coupled with an interest, as such holder’s true and lawful attorney-in-fact in the place and stead of such holder, and in the name of such holder or in its own name, without notice to or further assent by such holder, to execute, in connection with any sale or other disposition of the Collateral any endorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance or transfer, and to take such other appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments which may be necessary or desirable, as determined by Parent, to accomplish the purpose of carrying out the terms of such holder’s Holder Loan and the security therefor.

3. Investment of Escrow Funds.

(a) Permitted Investments. Pending distribution of the Escrow Funds in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement and this Agreement, the Escrow Funds shall be invested and reinvested by Escrow Agent in accordance with the written directions of the Stockholders’ Representative in one or more of the following:

(i) interest bearing time deposits with maturity dates of thirty (30) days or less of any bank located within the United States of America, including one or more accounts maintained in the commercial banking department (if any) of the Escrow Agent; provided that any amount held on deposit in any bank not having unsecured, non-subordinated indebtedness outstanding that is rated as “investment grade” by a nationally recognized rating agency shall be so invested only if such amount is fully insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”);

(ii) certificates of deposit with maturity dates of thirty (30) days or less issued by the commercial banking department (if any) of the Escrow Agent, or of any bank located in the United States of America, provided that either (A) any such bank shall have unsecured, non-subordinated indebtedness outstanding that is rated as “investment grade” by a nationally recognized rating agency, or (B) the full amount of each and every certificate of deposit issued by any such bank to Escrow Agent hereunder shall be fully insured by the FDIC;

Any payments of income shall be subject to applicable withholding regulations then in force in the United States. The Stockholders’ Representative shall provide individual taxpayer identification numbers documented by an appropriate Form W8 or Form W9 for the reporting of pro rata interest or income (determined on the basis of each Seller’s Escrow Ownership Percentage) to individual Sellers.

The Escrow Agent shall promptly (no later than two (2) business days after the Escrow Agent has been given the Notice of Claim) provide such Notice of Claim to the Stockholders’ Representative and shall confirm in writing with Parent that such Notice of Claim has been given to the Stockholders’ Representative. If, within thirty (30) days after receipt by the Stockholders’ Representative of the Notice of Claim, the Stockholders’ Representative has not given the Escrow Agent and Parent written notice that any such claim is disputed, the Escrow Agent shall pay 93.15% of the amount claimed in such Notice of Claim to Parent in accordance with Section 4(d) of this Agreement.

If, within thirty (30) days after receipt by the Stockholders’ Representative of a Notice of Claim or an amendment to a Notice of Claim, the Stockholders’ Representative gives the Escrow Agent and Parent written notice that any such Indemnifiable Losses are disputed, then the Escrow Agent shall not disburse all or any portion of the amount claimed in the Notice of Claim unless and until it receives (i) a joint written notice directing disbursement (the “Joint Notice”) executed by the Stockholders’ Representative and Parent, or (ii) a final, unappealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction directing disbursement or decision of an arbitrator or arbitration tribunal registered with or recognized by a court of competent jurisdiction as having the same force and effect as an order of such court (any such order or decision called a “Court Order”). The Escrow Agent, within three (3) business days after receipt of a Joint Notice or a Court Order, shall deliver such Escrow Funds in accordance with Section 4(d) of this Agreement. The amount of the Escrow Funds delivered shall be equal to 93.15% of the amount of the Indemnifiable Losses which are the subject of the Joint Notice or Court Order.

(d) Distributions of Escrow Funds.

On the Payment Date, the Escrow Agent shall distribute to the Sellers all of the Escrow Funds, less that amount of the Escrow Funds having a total value equal to 93.15% of the aggregate amount set forth in any then outstanding Notice of Claim theretofore received by the Escrow Agent. After the Payment Date, upon resolution of each remaining outstanding Notice of Claim in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 4, the Escrow Agent shall distribute to the Sellers the remainder of the Escrow Funds then held by the Escrow Agent (other than those funds to be distributed to Parent, if any, as a result of a resolved Notice of Claim, determined in accordance with this Section 4), less that amount of the Escrow Fund having a total value equal to 93.15% of the aggregate amount set forth in any then outstanding Notice of Claim.

5. Duties of Escrow Agent.

(a) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Escrow Agent is obligated only to perform the duties specifically set forth in this Agreement, which shall be deemed purely ministerial in nature. Under no circumstances will the Escrow Agent be deemed to be a fiduciary to any party hereto or any other person under this Agreement. The Escrow Agent shall have no implied duties or obligations under the terms of this Agreement or otherwise. The Escrow Agent shall not be charged with or be deemed to have any knowledge or notice of any notice, fact or circumstance not specifically set forth in this Agreement or furnished to the Escrow Agent in notices provided to the Escrow Agent in writing and strictly in accordance with the notice provisions of this Agreement. The Escrow Agent shall not be required to take notice of any agreement or understanding, including but not limited to the Merger Agreement among the parties hereto, other than this Agreement and shall have no duty or responsibility to take any action pursuant to the terms thereof; provided, however, the Escrow Agent acknowledges that certain capitalized terms used herein are defined in the Merger Agreement. The Escrow Agent acknowledges that, as among the parties to the Merger Agreement, the Merger Agreement governs the indemnification obligations of the Sellers for which the Escrow Funds are a source of payment.

(b) The Escrow Agent shall be entitled to rely exclusively upon the written statements and instructions provided in accordance with this Agreement and may assume the genuineness of all signatures and documents and the authority of all signatories. The Escrow Agent shall have no liability except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct in the performance of its duties hereunder and shall not have any liability for any action taken (or any failure to act) in good faith upon the advice of its independent legal counsel. Simultaneously with the execution of this Agreement, each of Parent and the Stockholders’ Representative shall deliver to the Escrow Agent the authorized signatory forms attached as Exhibits A-1 and A-2 hereto.

(c) In the event there are any Escrow Funds held by the Escrow Agent five (5) years after the date of this Agreement that are subject to a complaint filed by either Parent or the Stockholders’ Representative, the Escrow Agent may deposit such remaining Escrow Funds with the court where such complaint was filed for the court’s disposition, whereupon this Agreement and the Escrow Agent’s duties and appointment shall terminate.

(d) The Escrow Agent shall hold and safeguard the Escrow Funds from the date of this Agreement until the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 7 and shall treat such funds as escrow funds in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and shall hold and dispose of the Escrow Funds only in accordance with the terms hereof.

(e) The Escrow Agent will identify in its books the Escrow Funds held in escrow under this Agreement from time to time and ensure that the Escrow Funds are held separate and distinct from other funds held by it. The Escrow Agent will keep complete and accurate records regarding the Escrow Funds and will provide any party to this Agreement with full details of the management and status of the Escrow Funds within a reasonable time following receipt of a written request therefore, but no more frequently than monthly.

(f) The Escrow Funds will not be subject to any right, lien or claim of any kind in favor of the Escrow Agent or in favor of any of its creditors. The Escrow Agent will notify each of Parent and the Stockholders’ Representative promptly in writing of any attempt by any person to assert any claim against any of the Escrow Funds and will not make any admission or concession in respect of such claim except to the extent authorized by Parent and the Stockholders’ Representative.

(g) The parties acknowledge that the Escrow Agent may, in the course of providing services hereunder, collect or receive financial and other personal information about such parties and/or their representatives, as individuals, or about other individuals related to the subject matter hereof, and use such information to meet the Escrow Agent’s legal and regulatory requirements.

(h) THE ESCROW AGENT SHALL NOT BE LIABLE, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, FOR ANY (I) DAMAGES, LOSSES OR EXPENSES ARISING OUT OF THE SERVICES PROVIDED HEREUNDER, OTHER THAN DAMAGES, LOSSES OR EXPENSES WHICH HAVE BEEN FINALLY ADJUDICATED TO HAVE DIRECTLY RESULTED FROM THE ESCROW AGENT’S GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT, OR (II) SPECIAL, INDIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OR LOSSES OF ANY KIND WHATSOEVER (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION LOST PROFITS), EVEN IF THE ESCROW AGENT HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH LOSSES OR DAMAGES AND REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF ACTION.

(i) No provision of this Agreement shall require the Escrow Agent to risk or advance its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability or potential financial liability in the performance of its duties or the exercise of its rights hereunder.

(j) Any corporation or association into which the Escrow Agent may be converted or merged, or with which it may be consolidated, or to which it may sell or transfer all or substantially all of its corporate trust business and assets as a whole or substantially as a whole, or any corporation or association resulting from any such conversion, sale, merger, consolidation or transfer to which the Escrow Agent is a party, shall be and become the successor escrow agent under this Agreement and shall have and succeed to the rights, powers, duties, immunities and privileges as its predecessor, without the execution or filing of any instrument or paper or the performance of any further act.

(k) The Escrow Agent shall have no duties or responsibilities with respect to administering tax withholding, payments or reporting for persons receiving distributions, including those distributions relating to wages.

6. Successor Escrow Agent. The Escrow Agent shall have the right to resign upon thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the parties hereto. Upon the resignation of the initial Escrow Agent, the parties, upon their mutual agreement, shall have the right to select a successor escrow agent; if the parties have not appointed a successor within the fifteen (15) days of the date of the Escrow Agent’s registration notice, the Escrow Agent may petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint a successor to serve under the same terms and conditions herein set forth. Upon appointment of a successor, the initial Escrow Agent shall have no further responsibilities or obligations under this Agreement.

7. Termination of Agreement. The escrow created by this Agreement shall continue until the earliest to occur of the following events, after which point all of the Escrow Agent’s duties shall terminate:

(a) the distribution of all the Escrow Funds in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; or

(b) Parent’s and the Stockholders’ Representative’s written agreement to terminate such escrow, in which case the Escrow Agent shall distribute the Escrow Funds in accordance with the written instructions of Parent and the Stockholders’ Representative.

8. Indemnification. The duties of the Escrow Agent under this Agreement shall be entirely administrative and not discretionary. The Escrow Agent shall not be liable to any third party as a result of any action or omission taken or made by the Escrow Agent, except for the Escrow Agent’s willful misconduct or gross negligence. No rights are herein intended to be granted to any third party beneficiary. Parent and the Stockholders’ Representative, on behalf of the Sellers, jointly and severally, shall indemnify, defend and save harmless the Escrow Agent and each of its officers, directors, agents and employees and reimburse the Escrow Agent and each of its officers, directors, agents and employees from and for any and all liability, costs and expenses the Escrow Agent or any of such persons may suffer or incur by reason of its execution and performance of this Agreement except as a result of the Escrow Agent’s willful misconduct or gross negligence. The provisions of this section shall not preclude any party from pursuing rights of contribution from another party. The provisions of this Section 8 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the resignation or removal of the Escrow Agent.

9. Consultation of Counsel. In the event any legal question arises concerning Escrow Agent’s duties hereunder which requires consultation with legal counsel, such Escrow Agent may consult with its counsel and rely upon the written advice of such counsel and shall be fully protected and subject to no liability for any action taken or omitted pursuant to the advice of such legal counsel.

10. Assignment. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the parties hereto and their respective heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns. No rights herein may be assigned by Parent or the Stockholders’ Representative without prior written notice to the Escrow Agent.

11. Notices. All notices, consents or other communications required or permitted to be given under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given (a) when delivered personally, (b) three (3) business days after being mailed by first class certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, or (c) one (1) business day after being sent by a nationally recognized express courier service, postage or delivery charges prepaid, to Parent (with a copy to its outside legal counsel, Blank Rome LLP, One Logan Square, Philadelphia, PA 19103, Attention: Steven Dubow, Esq., (215) ###-###-####), the Stockholders’ Representative (with a copy to its outside legal counsel, Proskauer Rose LLP, 1585 Broadway, New York, NY 10036, Attention: Stephen Rubin, Esq., (212) ###-###-####), and the Escrow Agent at their respective addresses stated on the signature page attached hereto; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein provided the Escrow Agent shall not be deemed to have received any notice hereunder prior to the Escrow Agent’s actual receipt thereof. Notices may also be given by prepaid telegram or facsimile and shall be effective on the date transmitted if confirmed within twenty four (24) hours thereafter by a signed original sent in the manner provided in the preceding sentence. Any party may change its address for notice and the address to which copies must be sent by giving notice of the new addresses to the other party in accordance with this Section 11, provided that any such change of address notice shall not be effective unless and until received.

12. Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire and whole agreement between the Escrow Agent, on the one hand, and the Stockholders’ Representative and Parent, on the other hand. This Agreement may not be modified or amended, nor may any of its provisions be waived, except by a written instrument, signed by each of the parties hereto, expressing such amendment or modification. Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, no failure on the part of any party hereto to exercise and no delay in exercising any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or remedy hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof of the exercise of any other right.

13. Invalid Provisions. If any term or other provisions of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule or law, or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement will nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party. Upon the determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties to this Agreement will negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner to the end that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are fulfilled to the fullest extent possible.

14. Governing Law and Jurisdiction. This Agreement shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware applicable to agreements made, delivered and to be performed entirely within such State.

15. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterpart copies and by facsimile, each of which will be deemed an original and all of which, when taken together, will be deemed a fully executed original.

16. Fees of Escrow Agent. Parent and the Stockholders’ Representative (on behalf of the Sellers) agree to share the fees and expenses of the Escrow Agent equally. The Escrow Agent’s fees and the Escrow Agent’s right to be reimbursed for expenses are set forth in Exhibit B.

The undersigned will, upon request, execute any additional documents necessary or desirable to complete the delivery, surrender, transfer and exchange of all of its Shares and Warrants for cancellation in exchange for that portion of the Merger Consideration (as defined in the Merger Agreement) the undersigned is entitled to receive under the Merger Agreement. The undersigned hereby irrevocably ratifies the appointment of the Stockholders’ Representative as agent of the undersigned to effect the exchange and cancellation. All authority conferred or agreed to be conferred in this Letter of Transmittal shall be binding upon the successors, assigns, heirs, executors, administrators and legal representatives of the undersigned and shall not be affected by, and shall survive, the death or incapacity of the undersigned.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Letter of Transmittal, it is understood that the undersigned will not receive any of the Merger Consideration until and unless (i) the Merger is completed, (ii) a properly completed and duly executed copy of this Letter of Transmittal is received by Parent (by way of delivery from the undersigned to the Stockholders’ Representative), (iii) certificates representing the Shares held by the undersigned are effectively surrendered to and received by Parent (by way of delivery from the undersigned to the Stockholders’ Representative), (iv) the agreements representing Warrants held by the undersigned are effectively surrendered to and received by Parent (by way of delivery from the undersigned to the Stockholders’ Representative) and (v) the undersigned is not in breach of any representation or warranty contained or incorporated by reference in this Letter of Transmittal, except, in each case in this item (v), any breach that is not in any manner adverse to the Company or Parent. It is understood that the method of delivery of the Letter of Transmittal, certificates representing Shares, agreements representing Warrants and all other required documents is at the option and risk of the undersigned and that the risk of loss of such Shares and/or Warrants shall pass only after Parent has actually received the Letter of Transmittal and the certificates representing Shares or agreements representing Warrants from the Stockholders’ Representative. It is further understood that no interest will accrue on the Merger Consideration except as expressly set forth in the Merger Agreement or the escrow agreement to be entered into in connection with the consummation of the Merger (the “Escrow Agreement”).

(i) irrevocably ratifies the appointment, pursuant to Section 9 of the Merger Agreement, of CLCI Agent, LLC, the Stockholders’ Representative, as its stockholder representative;

(iv) understands and agrees that all calculations of the amount of the Merger Consideration payable to the undersigned will be made by the Stockholders’ Representative and not by Parent or the Company;

(v) understands and agrees that as a result of the cancellation of the undersigned’s Warrants, the undersigned will have no right to acquire any of the capital stock of the corporation surviving the Merger;

(vi) represents and warrants that, except as set forth in Item A, the undersigned owns no capital stock or warrants or has any other right to purchase capital stock of the Company;

INSTRUCTIONS

This Letter of Transmittal (or a copy thereof) should be properly filled in, dated and signed, and should be delivered, together with your Share certificate(s) and/or agreement(s) representing Warrants being surrendered for exchange by you, to the Company at the address set forth on the cover of this document. The method of delivery of this Letter of Transmittal and Share certificate(s) and/or agreement(s) representing Warrants is at the election and risk of the owner. However, if this Letter of Transmittal and the Share certificate(s) and/or agreement(s) representing Warrants are sent by mail, it is recommended that they be sent by registered mail, properly insured, with return receipt requested. Risk of loss of the associated Shares and/or Warrants shall pass only upon effective receipt of the Share certificate(s) and/or agreement(s) representing Warrants to purchase Shares by Parent (by way of delivery to the Stockholders’ Representative).

Please read and follow carefully the instructions regarding completion of this Letter of Transmittal below. These instructions and terms are part of the terms and conditions of the Letter of Transmittal.

1. Surrender and Cancellation of Securities. Once submitted, this Letter of Transmittal is irrevocable. Any surrender of Shares and/or Warrants that you make is irrevocable.

2. Termination of Merger Agreement. All Letters of Transmittal will be void and of no effect if the Merger Agreement is terminated pursuant to its terms. The Company will return Share certificate(s) and agreement(s) representing Warrants it had received previously to the person who submitted such Share certificate(s) or agreement(s) representing Warrants without charge to such person as promptly as practicable by first class, insured mail.

3. Execution and Delivery. This Letter of Transmittal or a copy hereof is to be used when you surrender your Shares and/or Warrants for cancellation in exchange for the portion of the Merger Consideration that you are entitled to receive under the Merger Agreement. For a holder of Shares and/or Warrants to receive the applicable Merger Consideration, this Letter of Transmittal must be properly completed, dated and signed in the signature box and must be received (together with Share certificate(s) and/or agreement(s) representing Warrants) by the Stockholders’ Representative at the appropriate address set forth on the cover of this document. If Share certificates and/or agreement(s) representing Warrants are delivered to the Stockholders’ Representative in multiple deliveries, a properly completed and duly executed Letter of Transmittal must accompany each such delivery.

Holders of Shares or Warrants who are nominees, trustees or are acting in another representative or fiduciary capacity only (a “Representative”) shall submit a separate Letter of Transmittal for each beneficial owner for whom such registered holder is a Representative; provided, however, that at the request of Parent, such holder shall certify to the satisfaction of Parent or the Company, as applicable, that such holder holds such Shares or Warrants as Representative for the beneficial owner thereof. Each beneficial owner for whom a Letter of Transmittal is submitted will be treated as a separate holder.

4. Guarantee of Signatures. No signature guarantee is required on this Letter of Transmittal if (i) this Letter of Transmittal is signed by the registered holder(s) of the Shares or Warrant(s) surrendered herewith or (ii) the Shares or Warrant(s) is surrendered for the account of an eligible guarantor institution such as a commercial bank, trust company, securities broker/dealer, credit union, or savings association participating in a Medallion Program approved by the Securities Transfer Association, Inc. (each of the foregoing being an “Eligible Institution”). In all other cases, all signatures on this Letter of Transmittal must be medallion guaranteed by an Eligible Institution. (See Instruction 7.) If you have any questions regarding the need for a signature guarantee, please call Jared Hershberg at (212) ###-###-####.

5. Delivery of Letters of Transmittal, Share Certificates and Warrants. The Share certificate(s) and/or agreement(s) representing Warrants, together with a properly completed and duly executed and dated copy of this Letter of Transmittal or a duly executed copy hereof and any other documents required by this Letter of Transmittal, must be delivered to the Stockholders’ Representative at the appropriate address set forth on the cover of this document.

Parent reserves the right to waive any irregularities or defects in the surrender of any Shares or Warrants. A surrender will not be deemed to have been made until all irregularities have been cured or waived. Parent shall make reasonable efforts to notify any person of any defect in any Letters of Transmittal or any other required documents submitted to Parent.

6. Inadequate Space. If there is inadequate space to list all your Share certificate(s) and/or agreement(s) representing Warrants, please attach and sign a separate schedule setting forth the information called for in Item A of this Letter of Transmittal with respect to such Shares and/or Warrants.

7. Signatures on the Letter of Transmittal and Endorsements. If this Letter of Transmittal is signed by the registered holder(s) of the Shares and/or Warrants surrendered hereby, the signature(s) must correspond with the name(s) as written on the face of the Share certificate(s) or agreement(s) representing Warrants (if any) without any alteration or change whatsoever.

If the Shares or Warrants surrendered hereby are owned of record by two or more persons, all such persons must sign this Letter of Transmittal and any schedule prepared in accordance with Instruction 6. If the Shares and/or Warrants are registered in the names of different holders, it will be necessary to complete, sign and submit as many separate Letters of Transmittal as there are different registrations of Shares or Warrants.

If this Letter of Transmittal is signed by the registered holder(s) of the Shares and/or Warrants listed and surrendered herewith, no endorsements of the Shares or Warrants or separate stock or warrant powers are required.

If this Letter of Transmittal is signed by a person other than the registered holder(s) of the Shares and/or Warrants surrendered hereby, such Shares and Warrants must be endorsed or accompanied by appropriate stock or warrant powers, and in either case, signed exactly as the name(s) of the record holder(s) appears on such Shares certificate(s) or agreement(s) representing Warrants or in the records of the Company, in which case the signatures on such Shares certificate(s), agreement(s) representing Warrants or stock or warrant powers must be guaranteed by an Eligible Institution or as otherwise agreed with Parent (as specified in Instruction 4).

If this Letter of Transmittal or any Share certificate(s), agreement(s) representing Warrants or stock or warrant power(s) are signed by a trustee, executor, administrator, guardian, attorney-in-fact, officer of a corporation or other person acting in a fiduciary or representative capacity, such person should so indicate when signing, must give his or her full title in such capacity, and must submit proper evidence of his or her authority to so act.

8. Special Payment and/or Delivery Instructions. The “Special Payment and/or Delivery Instructions” box on this Letter of Transmittal must indicate the name and address and/or account information of the person(s) to whom the check or wire is to be sent if different from the name and address and/or account information of the person(s) signing this Letter of Transmittal. Filling in the box will NOT change your address for other mailings.

9. Payment Address and Name. It is incumbent upon you to notify Charter LCI Corporation, 1800 Phoenix Boulevard, Suite 120, College Park, GA 30349, Attention: M. Chinta Gaston, if your address, name or account information for payment changes using the form of update of payment information attached to the Letter of Transmittal. Please allow 5 business days for processing of this form. Parent, or the escrow agent, as applicable, will mail or wire money to you at the most recent address or bank account that the Company has on file for you, and will have no responsibility if you fail to receive payment because your payment information has changed but you have not notified the Company at the address listed above.

10. Form W-9. Each surrendering U.S. holder of Share certificate(s) (or other payee) is required to provide the Company (for transmission to PRSC) with a correct Taxpayer Identification Number (“TIN”) and certain other information on the enclosed Form W-9. Failure to provide the information on the Form W-9 may subject the surrendering holder of Share certificate(s) and/or agreements representing Warrant(s) (or other payee) to federal backup withholding. If the surrendering holder of Share certificate(s) and/or agreements representing Warrant(s) (or other payee) has not been issued a TIN and has applied for one or intends to apply for one in the near future, such holder (or other payee) should write “Applied For” in the space provided for the TIN in

Part I of the Form W-9. If “Applied For” is written in Part I and Parent is not provided with a TIN by the time of payment, Parent or the escrow agent, as applicable, will withhold on all payments thereafter to such holder (or other payee) until a TIN is provided to Parent. If Parent is not provided with the correct TIN, the holder (or other payee) may be subject to a $50 penalty imposed by the Internal Revenue Service. A non-U.S. holder that certifies its non-U.S. status by completing an appropriate IRS Form W-8 will not be subject to backup withholding and will not need to complete a Form W-9. Non-U.S. holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the appropriate Form W-8 (which can be obtained from the Internal Revenue Service web site at http://www.irs.gov) and any other forms that may be required.

11. Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. If your Share certificate(s) and/or agreement(s) representing Warrants have been lost, stolen or destroyed, please complete and sign the Affidavit of Loss attached to this Letter of Transmittal as Exhibit B or Exhibit C, respectively, and return it with your completed and signed Letter of Transmittal in lieu of such lost stolen or destroyed Share certificate(s) and/or agreement(s) representing Warrants. This Letter of Transmittal cannot be processed until all certificates representing Shares and/or agreement(s) representing Warrants or a completed and signed Affidavit of Loss have been received.

12. Share Certificates Held by the Company. If your Share certificate(s) are held by the Company, please complete and sign the Stock Power attached to this Letter of Transmittal as Exhibit D and return it with your completed and signed Letter of Transmittal. This Letter of Transmittal cannot be processed until a completed and signed Stock Power has been received.

13. Information and Additional Copies. Information and additional copies of this Letter of Transmittal may be obtained by calling Jared Hershberg at (212) ###-###-####.

IMPORTANT TAX INFORMATION

Under U.S. federal income tax law, any cash payment made to a holder (or other payee) whose Share certificate(s) or agreement(s) representing Warrants are surrendered and canceled in connection with the Merger generally is required to be reported to the Internal Revenue Service and may be subject to federal backup withholding tax. In order to prevent backup withholding, a holder (or other payee) should follow the instructions listed above under the Instruction 10 above and heading “Form W-9”.

If backup withholding applies, Parent or the escrow agent, as applicable, will be required to withhold certain amounts from any payments made to the holder (or other payee) surrendering Share certificates or agreements representing Warrants. Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Rather, the tax liability of persons subject to backup withholding will be reduced by the amount of tax withheld. If withholding results in an overpayment of taxes, a refund may be obtained from the Internal Revenue Service, provided that the required information is supplied to the Internal Revenue Service.

Exhibit A

Section 262 of the Delaware General Corporation Law

Delaware General Corporation Law § 262

§ 262. Appraisal rights

(a) Any stockholder of a corporation of this State who holds shares of stock on the date of the making of a demand pursuant to subsection (d) of this section with respect to such shares, who continuously holds such shares through the effective date of the merger or consolidation, who has otherwise complied with subsection (d) of this section and who has neither voted in favor of the merger or consolidation nor consented thereto in writing pursuant to § 228 of this title shall be entitled to an appraisal by the Court of Chancery of the fair value of the stockholder’s shares of stock under the circumstances described in subsections (b) and (c) of this section. As used in this section, the word “stockholder” means a holder of record of stock in a stock corporation and also a member of record of a nonstock corporation; the words “stock” and “share” mean and include what is ordinarily meant by those words and also membership or membership interest of a member of a nonstock corporation; and the words “depository receipt” mean a receipt or other instrument issued by a depository representing an interest in one or more shares, or fractions thereof, solely of stock of a corporation, which stock is deposited with the depository.

(b) Appraisal rights shall be available for the shares of any class or series of stock of a constituent corporation in a merger or consolidation to be effected pursuant to § 251 (other than a merger effected pursuant to § 251(g) of this title), § 252, § 254, § 257, § 258, § 263 or § 264 of this title:

(1) Provided, however, that no appraisal rights under this section shall be available for the shares of any class or series of stock, which stock, or depository receipts in respect thereof, at the record date fixed to determine the stockholders entitled to receive notice of and to vote at the meeting of stockholders to act upon the agreement of merger or consolidation, were either (i) listed on a national securities exchange or (ii) held of record by more than 2,000 holders; and further provided that no appraisal rights shall be available for any shares of stock of the constituent corporation surviving a merger if the merger did not require for its approval the vote of the stockholders of the surviving corporation as provided in subsection (f) of § 251 of this title.

(2) Notwithstanding paragraph (1) of this subsection, appraisal rights under this section shall be available for the shares of any class or series of stock of a constituent corporation if the holders thereof are required by the terms of an agreement of merger or consolidation pursuant to § § 251, 252, 254, 257, 258, 263 and 264 of this title to accept for such stock anything except:

a. Shares of stock of the corporation surviving or resulting from such merger or consolidation, or depository receipts in respect thereof;

b. Shares of stock of any other corporation, or depository receipts in respect thereof, which shares of stock (or depository receipts in respect thereof) or depository receipts at the effective date of the merger or consolidation will be either listed on a national securities exchange or held of record by more than 2,000 holders;

c. Cash in lieu of fractional shares or fractional depository receipts described in the foregoing subparagraphs a. and b. of this paragraph; or

d. Any combination of the shares of stock, depository receipts and cash in lieu of fractional shares or fractional depository receipts described in the foregoing subparagraphs a., b. and c. of this paragraph.

(3) In the event all of the stock of a subsidiary Delaware corporation party to a merger effected under § 253 of this title is not owned by the parent corporation immediately prior to the merger, appraisal rights shall be available for the shares of the subsidiary Delaware corporation.

(c) Any corporation may provide in its certificate of incorporation that appraisal rights under this section shall be available for the shares of any class or series of its stock as a result of an amendment to its certificate of incorporation, any merger or consolidation in which the corporation is a constituent corporation or the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the corporation. If the certificate of incorporation contains such a provision, the procedures of this section, including those set forth in subsections (d) and (e) of this section, shall apply as nearly as is practicable.

(d) Appraisal rights shall be perfected as follows:

(1) If a proposed merger or consolidation for which appraisal rights are provided under this section is to be submitted for approval at a meeting of stockholders, the corporation, not less than 20 days prior to the meeting, shall notify each of its stockholders who was such on the record date for such meeting with respect to shares for which appraisal rights are available pursuant to subsection (b) or (c) hereof that appraisal rights are available for any or all of the shares of the constituent corporations, and shall include in such notice a copy of this section. Each stockholder electing to demand the appraisal of such stockholder’s shares shall deliver to the corporation, before the taking of the vote on the merger or consolidation, a written demand for appraisal of such stockholder’s shares. Such demand will be sufficient if it reasonably informs the corporation of the identity of the stockholder and that the stockholder intends thereby to demand the appraisal of such stockholder’s shares. A proxy or vote against the merger or consolidation shall not constitute such a demand. A stockholder electing to take such action must do so by a separate written demand as herein provided. Within 10 days after the effective date of such merger or consolidation, the surviving or resulting corporation shall notify each stockholder of each constituent corporation who has complied with this subsection and has not voted in favor of or consented to the merger or consolidation of the date that the merger or consolidation has become effective; or

(2) If the merger or consolidation was approved pursuant to § 228 or § 253 of this title, then either a constituent corporation before the effective date of the merger or consolidation or the surviving or resulting corporation within 10 days thereafter shall notify each of the holders of any class or series of stock of such constituent corporation who are entitled to appraisal rights of the approval of the merger or consolidation and that appraisal rights are available for any or all shares of such class or series of stock of such constituent corporation, and shall include in such notice a copy of this section. Such notice may, and, if given on or after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, shall, also notify such stockholders of the effective date of the merger or consolidation. Any stockholder entitled to appraisal rights may, within 20 days after the date of mailing of such notice, demand in writing from the surviving or resulting corporation the appraisal of such holder’s shares. Such demand will be sufficient if it reasonably informs the corporation of the identity of the stockholder and that the stockholder intends thereby to demand the appraisal of such holder’s shares. If such notice did not notify stockholders of the effective date of the merger or consolidation, either (i) each such constituent corporation shall send a second notice before the effective date of the merger or consolidation notifying each of the holders of any class or series of stock of such constituent corporation that are entitled to appraisal rights of the effective date of the merger or consolidation or (ii) the surviving or resulting corporation shall send such a second notice to all such holders on or within 10 days after such effective date; provided, however, that if such second notice is sent more than 20 days following the sending of the first notice, such second notice need only be sent to each stockholder who is entitled to appraisal rights and who has demanded appraisal of such holder’s shares in accordance with this subsection. An affidavit of the secretary or assistant secretary or of the transfer agent of the corporation that is required to give either notice that such notice has been given shall, in the absence of fraud, be prima facie evidence of the facts stated therein. For purposes of determining the stockholders entitled to receive either notice, each constituent corporation may fix, in advance, a record date that shall be not more than 10 days prior to the date the notice is given, provided, that if the notice is given on or after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, the record date shall be such effective date. If no record date is fixed and the notice is given prior to the effective date, the record date shall be the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the notice is given.

(e) Within 120 days after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, the surviving or resulting corporation or any stockholder who has complied with subsections (a) and (d) of this section hereof and who is otherwise entitled to appraisal rights, may commence an appraisal proceeding by filing a petition in the Court of Chancery demanding a determination of the value of the stock of all such stockholders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time within 60 days after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, any stockholder who has not commenced an appraisal proceeding or joined that proceeding as a named party shall have the right to withdraw such stockholder’s demand for appraisal and to accept the terms offered upon the merger or consolidation. Within 120 days after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, any stockholder who has complied with the requirements of subsections (a) and (d) of this section hereof, upon written request, shall be entitled to receive from the corporation surviving the merger or resulting from the consolidation a statement setting forth the aggregate number of shares not voted in favor of the merger or consolidation and with respect to which demands for appraisal have been received and the aggregate number of holders of such shares. Such written statement shall be mailed to the stockholder within 10 days after such stockholder’s written request for such a statement is received by the surviving or resulting corporation or within 10 days after expiration of the period for delivery of demands for appraisal under

subsection (d) hereof, whichever is later. Notwithstanding subsection (a) of this section, a person who is the beneficial owner of shares of such stock held either in a voting trust or by a nominee on behalf of such person may, in such person’s own name, file a petition or request from the corporation the statement described in this subsection.

(f) Upon the filing of any such petition by a stockholder, service of a copy thereof shall be made upon the surviving or resulting corporation, which shall within 20 days after such service file in the office of the Register in Chancery in which the petition was filed a duly verified list containing the names and addresses of all stockholders who have demanded payment for their shares and with whom agreements as to the value of their shares have not been reached by the surviving or resulting corporation. If the petition shall be filed by the surviving or resulting corporation, the petition shall be accompanied by such a duly verified list. The Register in Chancery, if so ordered by the Court, shall give notice of the time and place fixed for the hearing of such petition by registered or certified mail to the surviving or resulting corporation and to the stockholders shown on the list at the addresses therein stated. Such notice shall also be given by 1 or more publications at least 1 week before the day of the hearing, in a newspaper of general circulation published in the City of Wilmington, Delaware or such publication as the Court deems advisable. The forms of the notices by mail and by publication shall be approved by the Court, and the costs thereof shall be borne by the surviving or resulting corporation.

(g) At the hearing on such petition, the Court shall determine the stockholders who have complied with this section and who have become entitled to appraisal rights. The Court may require the stockholders who have demanded an appraisal for their shares and who hold stock represented by certificates to submit their certificates of stock to the Register in Chancery for notation thereon of the pendency of the appraisal proceedings; and if any stockholder fails to comply with such direction, the Court may dismiss the proceedings as to such stockholder.

(h) After the court determines the stockholders entitled to an appraisal, the appraisal proceeding shall be conducted in accordance with the rules of the Court of Chancery, including any rules specifically governing appraisal proceedings. Through such proceeding the Court shall determine the fair value of the shares exclusive of any element of value arising from the accomplishment or expectation of the merger or consolidation, together with interest, if any, to be paid upon the amount determined to be the fair value. In determining such fair value, the Court shall take into account all relevant factors. Unless the Court in its discretion determines otherwise for good cause shown, interest from the effective date of the merger through the date of payment of the judgment shall be compounded quarterly and shall accrue at 5% over the Federal Reserve discount rate (including any surcharge) as established from time to time during the period between the effective date of the merger and the date of payment of the judgment. Upon application by the surviving or resulting corporation or by any stockholder entitled to participate in the appraisal proceeding, the Court may, in its discretion, proceed to trial upon the appraisal prior to the final determination of the stockholder entitled to an appraisal. Any stockholder whose name appears on the list filed by the surviving or resulting corporation pursuant to subsection (f) of this section and who has submitted such stockholder’s certificates of stock to the Register in Chancery, if such is required, may participate fully in all proceedings until it is finally determined that such stockholder is not entitled to appraisal rights under this section.

(i) The Court shall direct the payment of the fair value of the shares, together with interest, if any, by the surviving or resulting corporation to the stockholders entitled thereto. Payment shall be so made to each such stockholder, in the case of holders of uncertificated stock forthwith, and the case of holders of shares represented by certificates upon the surrender to the corporation of the certificates representing such stock. The Court’s decree may be enforced as other decrees in the Court of Chancery may be enforced, whether such surviving or resulting corporation be a corporation of this State or of any state.

(j) The costs of the proceeding may be determined by the Court and taxed upon the parties as the Court deems equitable in the circumstances. Upon application of a stockholder, the Court may order all or a portion of the expenses incurred by any stockholder in connection with the appraisal proceeding, including, without limitation, reasonable attorney’s fees and the fees and expenses of experts, to be charged pro rata against the value of all the shares entitled to an appraisal.

(k) From and after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, no stockholder who has demanded appraisal rights as provided in subsection (d) of this section shall be entitled to vote such stock for any purpose or to receive payment of dividends or other distributions on the stock (except dividends or other distributions payable to stockholders of record at a date which is prior to the effective date of the merger or consolidation); provided, however, that if no petition for an appraisal shall be filed within the time provided in subsection (e) of this section, or if such stockholder shall deliver to the surviving or resulting corporation a written withdrawal of such stockholder’s demand for an appraisal and an acceptance of the merger or consolidation, either within 60 days after

the effective date of the merger or consolidation as provided in subsection (e) of this section or thereafter with the written approval of the corporation, then the right of such stockholder to an appraisal shall cease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no appraisal proceeding in the Court of Chancery shall be dismissed as to any stockholder without the approval of the Court, and such approval may be conditioned upon such terms as the Court deems just; provided, however that this provision shall not affect the right of any stockholder who has not commenced an appraisal proceeding or joined that proceeding as a named party to withdraw such stockholder’s demand for appraisal and to accept the terms offered upon the merger or consolidation within 60 days after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, as set forth in subsection (e) of this section.

(l) The shares of the surviving or resulting corporation to which the shares of such objecting stockholders would have been converted had they assented to the merger or consolidation shall have the status of authorized and unissued shares of the surviving or resulting corporation.
