AGREEMENT AND PLAN

OF MERGER

THIS AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER (“Agreement”) is made and entered into as of March 15, 2007, by and among: Cisco Systems, Inc., a California corporation (“Parent”); Wonder Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Acquisition Sub”); and WebEx Communications, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”). Certain capitalized terms used in this Agreement are defined in Exhibit A.

RECITAL

The respective Boards of Directors of Parent, Acquisition Sub and the Company have approved the acquisition by Parent of the Company upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement.

Concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, a stockholder of the Company is executing and delivering to Parent a voting and tender agreement.

AGREEMENT

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

SECTION 1. THE OFFER

1.1 Tender Offer.

(a) Unless this Agreement shall have previously been terminated in accordance with Section 7, as promptly as practicable, but in any event within ten business days after the date of this Agreement, Acquisition Sub shall, and Parent shall cause Acquisition Sub to, commence (within the meaning of Rule 14d-2 under the Exchange Act) a tender offer (the “Offer”) for all of the outstanding Company Shares, at a price of $57.00 per share, net to the seller in cash, without interest.

(b) As promptly as practicable on the later of (i) the earliest date as of which Acquisition Sub is permitted under applicable Law to accept for payment and pay for Company Shares tendered pursuant to the Offer, and (ii) the earliest date as of which each of the conditions set forth in Annex I (the “Offer Conditions”) shall have been satisfied or waived, Acquisition Sub shall accept for payment, purchase and pay for all Company Shares tendered pursuant to the Offer (and not validly withdrawn). The obligation of Acquisition Sub to accept for payment, purchase and pay for Company Shares tendered pursuant to the Offer shall be subject only to the satisfaction or waiver, by Parent and Acquisition Sub, of each of the Offer Conditions (and shall not be subject to any other conditions).

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, neither Parent nor Acquisition Sub shall (without the prior written consent of the Company): (i) change or waive the Minimum Condition (as defined in Annex I); (ii) reduce the number of

Company Shares subject to the Offer; (iii) reduce the price per share to be paid pursuant to the Offer; (iv) extend or otherwise change the expiration date of the Offer (except to the extent required or permitted pursuant to Section 1.1(d)); (v) change the form of consideration payable in the Offer; or (vi) amend, modify or add to the Offer Conditions, or amend, modify or supplement any of the other terms of the Offer in any manner adversely affecting any of the holders of Company Shares.

(d) Unless extended as provided in this Agreement, the Offer shall expire on the date (the “Initial Expiration Date”) that is 20 business days after the commencement of the Offer (determined pursuant to Rule 14d-1(g)(3) under the Exchange Act). If any of the Offer Conditions has not been satisfied or waived by the Initial Expiration Date and this Agreement shall not have previously been terminated in accordance with Section 7, then Acquisition Sub shall, and Parent shall cause Acquisition Sub to, extend (and re-extend) the Offer and its expiration date beyond the Initial Expiration Date for one or more consecutive increments of not more than 10 business days each; provided, Acquisition Sub shall not be required to extend the Offer beyond the End Date. The Offer may not be terminated prior to its expiration date (as such expiration date may be extended and re-extended in accordance with this Agreement), except in accordance with Section 7.

(e) Acquisition Sub and Parent may make available a “subsequent offering period” in accordance with Rule 14d–11 under the Exchange Act. For the sake of clarity and unless the context otherwise clearly requires, the term “Offer” as used in this Agreement shall not include any “subsequent offering period” made available by Parent and Acquisition Sub in accordance with Rule 14d–11 under the Exchange Act.

(f) The Company hereby grants to Acquisition Sub an option (the “Top-Up Option”), exercisable only on the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 1.1(f), to purchase at a price per share equal to the price paid to any holder of Company Shares in the Offer, up to that number of newly issued Company Shares (the “Top-Up Shares”) equal to the lowest number of Company Shares that, when added to the number of Company Shares directly or indirectly owned by Parent at the time of exercise of the Top-Up Option shall constitute one share more than 90% of the Company Shares outstanding immediately after the issuance of the Top-Up Shares; provided, however, that the Top-Up Option shall not be exercisable for a number of Company Shares in excess of the number of Company Shares authorized and unissued at the time of exercise of the Top-Up Option. The Top-Up Option shall be exercisable only once at any time prior to the earlier of the Effective Time and the termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, and only at such time as Parent and Acquisition Sub, directly or indirectly, own at least 80% of the outstanding Company Shares (determined on a fully diluted basis but disregarding any unvested stock options and other unvested rights to acquire Company Shares that will not have vested at any time prior to the End Date (assuming that all applicable vesting conditions are satisfied and after giving effect to any acceleration of vesting that may occur as a result of the Offer)). The obligation of the Company to issue and deliver the Top-Up Shares upon the exercise of the Top-Up Option is subject to the condition that no legal restraint that has the effect of preventing the exercise of the Top-Up Option or the issuance and delivery of the Top-Up Shares in respect of such exercise shall be in effect. The parties shall cooperate to ensure that the issuance and delivery of the Top-Up Shares comply with all applicable Laws,

including compliance with an applicable exemption from registration of the Top-Up Shares under the Securities Act. In the event Acquisition Sub wishes to exercise the Top-Up Option, Acquisition Sub shall give the Company two business days’ prior written notice, specifying (i) the number of Company Shares directly or indirectly owned by Parent at the time of such notice, (ii) the number of Company Shares that Acquisition Sub intends to purchase pursuant to the Top-Up Option and (iii) a place and a time for the closing of such purchase. The Company shall, as soon as practicable following receipt of such notice, deliver written notice to Acquisition Sub specifying, based on the information provided by Acquisition Sub in its notice, the number of Top-Up Shares. At the closing of the purchase of Top-Up Shares, the purchase price owed by Acquisition Sub to the Company therefor shall be paid to the Company in cash, by wire transfer or cashier’s check, against delivery to Acquisition Sub of a stock certificate in its name (or the name of its nominee) for the Top-Up Shares.

1.2 Actions of Parent and Acquisition Sub.

(a) As promptly as practicable, but in any event within ten business days after the date of this Agreement, Parent and Acquisition Sub shall file with the SEC a Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO with respect to the Offer (such Tender Offer Statement, as it may be amended from time to time, being referred to herein as the “Schedule TO”), which shall contain an offer to purchase and a related letter of transmittal and other documents relating to the Offer (the Schedule TO and such offer to purchase, letter of transmittal and other documents, together with any supplements or amendments thereto, being referred to collectively as the “Offer Documents”). Prior to the filing of the Offer Documents (including any amendment or supplement thereto) with the SEC or dissemination thereof to the stockholders of the Company, or responding to any comments of the SEC with respect to the Offer Documents, Parent and Acquisition Sub shall provide the Company and its counsel a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such Offer Documents or response (including the proposed final version thereof), and Parent and Acquisition Sub shall give reasonable and good faith consideration to any comments made by Company or its counsel.

(b) Each of Parent, Acquisition Sub and the Company shall (to the extent required by applicable federal securities Laws): (i) promptly correct any information provided by it for use in the Offer Documents if and to the extent that such information shall have become false or misleading in any material respect; and (ii) take all steps necessary to cause the Offer Documents as so corrected to be filed with the SEC and to be disseminated to holders of Company Shares. Parent and Acquisition Sub shall promptly provide the Company and its counsel with a copy of any written comments and a written summary of any oral comments received by Parent or Acquisition Sub, or by counsel for Parent or Acquisition Sub, from the SEC or its staff with respect to the Offer Documents.

(c) Parent shall provide or cause to be provided to Acquisition Sub all of the funds necessary to purchase any Company Shares that Acquisition Sub becomes obligated to purchase pursuant to the Offer. Prior to the closing of the Offer, Parent (after consultation with and reasonable approval of the Company) shall select a reputable bank or trust company to act as paying agent for the Offer.

1.3 Actions of the Company.

(a) On the date of the commencement of the Offer, the Company shall file with the SEC a Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9 with respect to the Offer (such Solicitation/Recommendation Statement, as it may be amended from time to time, being referred to herein as the “Schedule 14D-9”) and shall disseminate the Schedule 14D-9 to the extent required by Rule 14d-9 under the Exchange Act. Subject to Section 5.2(d), the Schedule 14D-9 shall contain a recommendation by the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Company Board”) that the Company’s stockholders accept the Offer, tender their Company Shares pursuant to the Offer and, if required by applicable Law, adopt this Agreement. Prior to the filing of the Schedule 14D-9 (including any amendment or supplement thereto) with the SEC or mailing thereof to the stockholders of the Company, or responding to any comments of the SEC with respect to the Schedule 14D-9, the Company shall provide Parent a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such Schedule 14D-9 or response (including the proposed final version thereof), and the Company shall give reasonable and good faith consideration to any comments made by Parent. The Company shall cooperate with Parent in mailing or otherwise disseminating the Schedule 14D-9 with the appropriate Offer Documents to the Company’s stockholders.

(b) Each of the Company, Parent and Acquisition Sub shall (to the extent required by applicable federal securities Laws): (i) promptly correct any information provided by it for use in the Schedule 14D-9 if and to the extent that such information shall have become false or misleading in any material respect; and (ii) take all steps necessary to cause the Schedule 14D-9 as so corrected to be filed with the SEC and to be disseminated to the holders of Company Shares. The Company shall promptly provide Parent and Acquisition Sub and their counsel with a copy of any written comments and a written summary of any oral comments received by the Company or its counsel from the SEC or its staff with respect to the Schedule 14D-9.

(c) In connection with the Offer, the Company shall cause its transfer agent to furnish to Acquisition Sub a list, as of a recent date, of the record holders of Company Shares and their addresses, as well as mailing labels containing such names and addresses. The Company will furnish Acquisition Sub with such additional information (including any security position listings in the Company’s possession) and assistance as Acquisition Sub may reasonably request for purposes of communicating the Offer to the record and beneficial holders of Company Shares. All information furnished in accordance with this Section 1.3(c) shall be held in confidence by Parent and Acquisition Sub in accordance with the requirements of the confidentiality agreement, dated March 4, 2007, between Parent and the Company (the “Confidentiality Agreement”), and shall be used by Parent and Acquisition Sub only in connection with the Offer and the Merger.

1.4 Board of Directors.

(a) If requested by Parent, following the purchase by Acquisition Sub pursuant to the Offer of a number of Company Shares equal to or greater than the Minimum Condition, the Company will, subject to compliance with applicable Laws, use reasonable efforts to take all actions necessary to cause persons designated by Parent to become directors of the

Company so that the total number of such persons equals that number of directors, rounded up to the next whole number, which represents the product of (x) the total number of directors on the Company Board multiplied by (y) the percentage that the number of Company Shares so purchased by Acquisition Sub pursuant to the Offer bears to the total number of Company Shares outstanding at the time Acquisition Sub purchases Company Shares pursuant to the Offer; provided, however, that in no event shall Parent be entitled to designate a majority of the Company Board unless it is the beneficial owner of Company Shares entitling it to exercise at least a majority of the voting power of the outstanding Company Shares. The Company will use its reasonable efforts to secure the resignation of directors, and, in the event such resignations are not secured, the Company shall increase the size of the Company Board, in each case to the extent necessary to permit Parent’s designees to be elected to the Company Board in accordance with this Section 1.4(a); provided, however, that prior to the Effective Time, the Company Board shall always have at least three Continuing Directors.

(b) In connection with the election or appointment of Parent’s designees under Section 1.4(a), the Company shall take all actions required to be taken by the Company pursuant to Section 14(f) of the Exchange Act and Rule 14f-1 thereunder and shall include in the Schedule 14D-9 (or in a separate statement) the information required to be provided by the Company pursuant to Section 14(f) of the Exchange Act and Rule 14f-1 thereunder. Parent shall supply to the Company in writing, and shall be solely responsible for, all information required pursuant to Section 14(f) of the Exchange Act and Rule 14f-1 thereunder with respect to Parent and Acquisition Sub and their respective officers, directors and Affiliates and with respect to the persons designated by Parent to serve as directors of the Company.

1.5 Actions by Directors. Following the election or appointment of Parent’s designees pursuant to Section 1.4(a), and until the Effective Time, the approval of a majority of the Continuing Directors shall be required to authorize (i) any amendment to or termination of this Agreement by the Company, (ii) any amendment to the Company’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws, (iii) any extension of time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of Parent or Acquisition Sub, (iv) any waiver of compliance with any covenant of Parent or Acquisition Sub or any condition to any obligation of the Company or any waiver or exercise of any right of the Company under this Agreement, and (v) any Adverse Recommendation Change with respect to the Merger. The authorization of any such matter by a majority of the Continuing Directors shall constitute the authorization of such matter by the Company Board, and no other action on the part of the Company or any other director of the Company shall be required to authorize such matter.

SECTION 2. THE MERGER; EFFECTIVE TIME

2.1 Merger of Acquisition Sub into the Company. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement and in accordance with the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”), at the Effective Time (as defined in Section 2.3), Acquisition Sub shall be merged with and into the Company (the merger of Acquisition Sub into the Company being referred to herein as the “Merger”), and the separate existence of Acquisition Sub shall cease. The Company will continue as the surviving corporation in the Merger (the “Surviving Corporation”).

2.2 Effect of the Merger. The Merger shall have the effects set forth in this Agreement and in the applicable provisions of the DGCL.

2.3 Effective Time. As soon as practicable after the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Section 6, the parties hereto shall cause a properly executed certificate of merger (or, if appropriate, a certificate of ownership and merger) conforming to the requirements of the DGCL (the “Certificate of Merger”) to be filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. The Merger shall take effect at the time the Certificate of Merger is filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (the “Effective Time”). At 10:00 a.m. (California time) on the date on which the Certificate of Merger is to be so filed, a closing shall be held at the offices of Fenwick & West LLP, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ (or such other place or time as Parent and the Company may jointly designate) for the purpose of confirming the satisfaction or waiver of each of the conditions set forth in Section 6.

2.4 Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws; Directors. Unless otherwise jointly determined by Parent and the Company prior to the Effective Time:

(a) the Certificate of Incorporation of the Surviving Corporation shall be amended and restated as of the Effective Time to conform to Exhibit B;

(b) subject to Section 5.10(a), the Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation shall be amended and restated as of the Effective Time to conform to the Bylaws of Acquisition Sub as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time; and

(c) the directors of the Surviving Corporation immediately after the Effective Time shall be the respective individuals who are directors of Acquisition Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time.

2.5 Conversion of Company Shares. Subject to Section 2.8, at the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any further action on the part of Parent, Acquisition Sub, the Company or any stockholder of the Company:

(a) any Company Shares then held by the Company (or held in the Company’s treasury) shall cease to exist, and no consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor;

(b) any Company Shares then held by Parent, Acquisition Sub or any other subsidiary of Parent shall cease to exist, and no consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor;

(c) except as provided in clauses “(a)” and “(b)” above, each Company Share then outstanding (excluding any Appraisal Shares, as defined in Section 2.8(c)) shall be converted into the right to receive $57.00 in cash, without interest, or such greater cash amount as may have been paid to any holder of Company Shares pursuant to the Offer (the “Merger Consideration”); and

(d) each share of Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share, of Acquisition Sub then outstanding shall be converted into one share of the common stock of the Surviving Corporation.

2.6 Closing of the Company’s Transfer Books. At the Effective Time: (a) all Company Shares outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall cease to exist as provided in Section 2.5 and all holders of certificates representing Company Shares that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall cease to have any rights as stockholders of the Company; and (b) the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed with respect to all Company Shares outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. No further transfer of any such Company Shares shall be made on such stock transfer books after the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, a valid certificate previously representing any of such Company Shares (a “Company Stock Certificate”) is presented to the Paying Agent (as defined in Section 2.7) or to the Surviving Corporation or Parent, such Company Stock Certificate shall be canceled and shall be exchanged as provided in Section 2.7.

2.7 Payment for Company Shares.

(a) Prior to the Effective Time, Parent (after consultation with and reasonable approval of the Company) shall select a reputable bank or trust company to act as paying agent for the Merger (the “Paying Agent”). Promptly after the Effective Time, Parent shall cause to be made available to the Paying Agent cash amounts sufficient to enable the Paying Agent to make payments pursuant to Section 2.5 to holders of Company Shares outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time.

(b) Promptly after the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Paying Agent to mail to each person who was, immediately prior to the Effective Time, a holder of record of Company Shares a form of letter of transmittal (mutually agreed to by Parent and the Company) and instructions for use in effecting the surrender of Company Stock Certificates in exchange for payment therefor. Parent shall ensure that, upon surrender to the Paying Agent of a Company Stock Certificate, together with a properly executed letter of transmittal, the holder of such Company Stock Certificate (or, under the circumstances described in Section 2.7(e), the transferring of the Company Shares represented by such Company Stock Certificate) shall promptly receive in exchange therefor the amount of cash to which such Person is entitled pursuant to this Agreement.

(c) On or after the nine month anniversary of the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall be entitled to cause the Paying Agent to deliver to the Surviving Corporation any funds made available to the Paying Agent which have not been disbursed to holders of Company Stock Certificates, and thereafter such holders shall be entitled to look to Parent and the Surviving Corporation with respect to the cash amounts payable upon surrender of their Company Stock Certificates. Neither the Paying Agent nor the Surviving Corporation shall be liable to any holder of a Company Stock Certificate for any amount properly paid to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law.

(d) If any Company Stock Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, then, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Company Stock Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed (and, if required by the Surviving Corporation, the posting by such Person of a bond in such reasonable amount as the Surviving Corporation may direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Company Stock Certificate), Parent shall cause the Paying Agent to pay in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Company Stock Certificate the cash amount payable in respect thereof pursuant to this Agreement.

(e) In the event of a transfer of ownership of Company Shares which is not registered in the transfer records of the Company, payment may be made with respect to such Company Shares to a transferee of such Company Shares if the Company Stock Certificate representing such Company Shares is presented to the Paying Agent, accompanied by all documents reasonably required by the Paying Agent to evidence and effect such transfer and to evidence that any applicable stock transfer taxes relating to such transfer have been paid.

(f) The Surviving Corporation shall pay all charges and expenses, including those of the Paying Agent, in connection with the exchange of cash for Company Shares.

(g) If any Company Shares outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time are unvested or a subject to a repurchase option, risk of forfeiture or other condition under any restricted stock purchase or similar agreement with the Company, then the amounts payable with respect to such Company Shares pursuant to the Merger shall be withheld by Parent and shall be paid promptly following the date that such shares would have otherwise vested pursuant to such original vesting schedule or conditions.

2.8 Appraisal Rights.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, any Company Shares that constitute Appraisal Shares (as defined in Section 2.8(c)) shall not be converted into or represent the right to receive Merger Consideration in accordance with Section 2.5, and each holder of Appraisal Shares shall be entitled only to such rights with respect to such Appraisal Shares as may be granted to such holder in Section 262 of the DGCL. From and after the Effective Time, a holder of Appraisal Shares shall not have and shall not be entitled to exercise any of the voting rights or other rights of a stockholder of the Surviving Corporation. If any holder of Appraisal Shares shall fail to perfect or shall otherwise lose such holder’s right of appraisal under Section 262 of the DGCL, then such Appraisal Shares shall automatically be converted into and shall represent only the right to receive (upon the surrender of the certificate or certificates representing such Appraisal Shares) Merger Consideration in accordance with Section 2.5.

(b) The Company (i) shall give Parent written notice of any demand by any stockholder of the Company for appraisal of such stockholder’s Company Shares pursuant to the DGCL, and (ii) shall give Parent the right to direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to any such demand.

(b) For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Takeover Proposal” means any proposal or offer from any person (other than Parent or Acquisition Sub) relating to any direct or indirect acquisition, in one transaction or a series of transactions, including by way of any merger, consolidation, tender offer, exchange offer, stock acquisition, asset acquisition, binding share exchange, business combination, recapitalization, liquidation, dissolution, joint venture or similar transaction, of (i) assets or businesses that constitute or represent 20% or more of the total revenue, net income, EBITDA or assets of the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or (ii) 10% or more of the outstanding Company Shares or of any class of capital stock of, or other equity or voting interests in, one or more of the subsidiaries of the Company which, in the aggregate, directly or indirectly, hold the assets or businesses referred to in clause (i) above.

(c) For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Superior Proposal” means any bona fide offer, which did not result from a breach of Section 5.2(a), made by any Person (other than Parent or Sub) that, if consummated, would result in such third party (or in the case of a direct merger between such third party and the Company, the stockholders of such third party) acquiring, directly or indirectly, more than 50% of the voting power of the Company Shares or all or substantially all the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, and which offer, in the good faith judgment of the Company Board (after consultation with outside legal counsel and its financial advisor), (i) is more favorable from a financial point of view to the Company’s stockholders than the Offer and the Merger, and (ii) is reasonably capable of being completed, taking into account all financial, legal, regulatory, timing and other aspects of such proposal (including the need for and contingency of any financing).

(d) Neither the Company Board nor any committee thereof shall withdraw or modify in a manner adverse to Parent or Sub, the Company Board Recommendation or declaration of advisability by the Company Board or any such committee of this Agreement, the Offer or the Merger, or recommend the approval or adoption of any Takeover Proposal, or resolve or agree to take any such action (any such action, resolution or agreement to take such action being referred to herein as an “Adverse Recommendation Change”). Notwithstanding the

foregoing, at any time prior to the Effective Time, the Company Board may effect an Adverse Recommendation Change, provided that the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that the failure to do so is reasonably likely to result in a breach of its fiduciary duties to the stockholders of the Company under applicable Law; provided, further, that, in addition to the condition in the immediately preceding clause, the following additional conditions must first be satisfied prior to effecting an Adverse Recommendation Change in response to a Superior Proposal:

(i) the Company shall have (A) provided to Parent three business days’ prior written notice stating (1) that it has received a Superior Proposal, (2) the material terms and conditions of the Superior Proposal, a copy of the current draft of each negotiated agreement relating thereto, and the identity of the Person(s) making the Superior Proposal, and (3) that it intends to effect an Adverse Recommendation Change and the manner in which it intends to do so, (B) provided to Parent (to the extent not previously provided) a copy of all non-public information made available to the Person(s) making the Superior Proposal in connection with such Superior Proposal, and (C) during the aforementioned three business day period, if requested by Parent, engage in good faith negotiations with Parent with respect to any amendments Parent proposes to make to this Agreement; and

(ii) Parent shall not have, within the aforementioned three business day period, made, and not withdrawn, a bona fide written offer (that will be binding on Parent assuming due authorization and execution thereof by the Company) that the Company Board has in good faith determined (after consultation with its outside legal counsel and its financial advisor) results in the Takeover Proposal that had been determined to be a Superior Proposal no longer being a Superior Proposal.

The parties agree that any public announcement by the Company that it has taken any of the actions described in clause (i) above shall not constitute a violation of this Section 5.2(d) or any other provision of this Agreement and shall not be deemed to be an “Adverse Recommendation Change.”

(e) The Company shall, promptly (but not later than 24 hours) after the Company first obtains knowledge of the receipt thereof, provide Parent with written notice of any Takeover Proposal or any request for information or inquiry that the Company reasonably believes is reasonably likely to lead to a Takeover Proposal and the terms and conditions of such Takeover Proposal, request or inquiry and the identity of the person making any such Takeover Proposal, request or inquiry The Company shall keep Parent reasonably informed on a current basis with respect to (A) the status of any such Takeover Proposal, (B) the status and terms of any modification or proposed modification thereto (including by providing a copy of written materials setting forth any such modification or proposed modification), and (C) any proposed meeting of the Company Board to consider any Takeover Proposal.

(f) Prior to closing of the Offer, nothing contained in this Section 5.2 or elsewhere in this Agreement shall prohibit the Company or the Company Board from (i) taking and disclosing to its stockholders a position contemplated by Rule 14d-9 and Rule 14e-2(a) under the Exchange Act or (ii) making any disclosure to its stockholders if the Company Board

determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that the failure to do so is reasonably likely to result in a breach of its fiduciary duties to the stockholders of the Company under applicable Law; provided, however, that in no event shall the Company or the Company Board or any committee thereof take, agree or resolve to take any action prohibited by Section 5.2(d); provided, further, that any such disclosure made pursuant to this Section 5.2(f) shall not be deemed to be an Adverse Recommendation Change so long as the Company Board expressly reaffirms in such disclosure the Company Board Recommendation.

5.3 Meeting of the Company’s Stockholders.

(a) If Stockholder Approval is required by applicable Law, the Company shall, as promptly as practicable following the closing of the Offer, establish a record date (which will be as promptly as reasonably practicable following the such closing) for, duly call, give notice of, convene and hold a meeting of its stockholders (the “Stockholders Meeting”), for the purpose of obtaining the Stockholder Approval. The notice of such Stockholders Meeting shall state that a resolution to adopt this Agreement will be considered at the Stockholders Meeting. Subject to Section 5.2(d), the Company Board shall recommend to holders of Company Shares that they adopt this Agreement, and shall include such recommendation in the Proxy Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Acquisition Sub shall acquire at least 90% of the outstanding Company Shares, the parties hereto shall take all necessary and appropriate action to cause the Merger to become effective as soon as practicable after the closing of the Offer without the Stockholders Meeting in accordance with Section 253 of the DGCL.

(b) If Stockholder Approval is required by applicable Law, the Company shall, as promptly as practicable following the closing of the Offer and subject to the cooperation of Parent, prepare and file with the SEC a preliminary Proxy Statement. Each of the Company and Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the preliminary Proxy Statement to be cleared with the SEC as promptly as practicable after such filing. The Company will use its reasonable best efforts to cause the definitive Proxy Statement to be mailed to the Company’s stockholders as promptly as practicable after such filing.

The Company shall promptly notify Parent upon the receipt of any comments from the SEC or any request from the SEC for amendments or supplements to the Proxy Statement and shall provide Parent with copies of all correspondence between it and its representatives, on the one hand, and the SEC, on the other hand. Each of the Company and Parent shall use reasonable best efforts to respond as promptly as practicable to any comments of the SEC with respect to the Proxy Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, prior to filing or mailing the Proxy Statement (or any amendment or supplement thereto) or responding to any comments of the SEC with respect thereto, the Company (i) shall provide Parent an opportunity to review and comment on such document or response (including the proposed final version of such document or response) and (ii) shall include in such document or response all comments reasonably proposed by Parent. If, at any time prior to the Stockholders Meeting, any information relating to the Company, Parent or any of their respective affiliates, officers or directors should be discovered by the Company or Parent which should be set forth in an amendment or supplement to the Proxy Statement, so that the Proxy Statement does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any

material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading, the party that discovers such information shall promptly notify the other parties hereto, and an appropriate amendment or supplement describing such information shall be filed with the SEC and, to the extent required by applicable Law, disseminated to the stockholders of the Company.

Each party hereto will consult and cooperate with the other parties and will consider in good faith the views of the other parties in connection with any analysis, appearance, presentation, memorandum, brief, argument, opinion or proposal made or submitted in connection with any investigation, action or legal proceeding under or relating to the HSR Act or any other federal or state antitrust, competition or fair trade Law.

(c) In furtherance and not in limitation of the covenants of the parties contained in Section 5.4(a) and Section 5.4(b), if any objections are asserted with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby under any antitrust Law or if any suit is instituted (or threatened to be instituted) by the Federal Trade Commission, the Department of Justice or any other U.S. or foreign Governmental Entity or any private party challenging any of the transactions contemplated hereby as violative of any antitrust Law or which would otherwise prevent, materially impede or materially delay the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, each of Parent, Acquisition Sub and the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to resolve any such objections or suits so as to permit consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(d) Without limiting the generality of anything contained in Section 5.4, the Company, Parent and Acquisition Sub shall each use their reasonable best efforts to cause all Offer Conditions to be satisfied on a timely basis (to the extent the satisfaction of such Offer Conditions is within their respective direct or indirect control) and to cause the Offer to be consummated.

(e) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if any administrative or judicial action or proceeding is instituted (or threatened to be instituted) by any United States federal or state or foreign Governmental Entity of competent jurisdiction challenging any transaction contemplated by this Agreement as violative of any antitrust Law, it is expressly understood and agreed that: (i) Parent and the Company shall not have any obligation to litigate or contest any administrative or judicial action or proceeding or any decree, judgment, injunction or other order, whether temporary, preliminary or permanent; and (ii) Parent shall be under no obligation to make proposals, execute or carry out agreements or submit to orders providing for a Divestiture.

All information obtained by Parent and its representatives pursuant to this Section 5.5 shall be treated as “Evaluation Material” for purposes of the Confidentiality Agreement.

5.9 Other Employee Benefits.

(a) Following the Effective Time, Parent shall or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to maintain in effect employee benefit plans and arrangements for employees of the Surviving Corporation and its subsidiaries providing benefits that in the aggregate for such employees are no less favorable than those provided to similarly situated employees of Parent and its Affiliates, taking into account the employees’ performance and geographic location.

(b) Parent shall ensure that employees of the Company and its subsidiaries as of the Effective Time receive credit (for all purposes including eligibility to participate, vesting, vacation entitlement and severance benefits) for service with the Company and its subsidiaries (to the same extent such service credit was granted under the Company Plans) under the comparable employee benefit plans, programs and policies of Parent and the Surviving Corporation and its subsidiaries in which such employees became participants.

(c) From and after the Effective Time, Parent shall (i) cause any pre-existing conditions or limitations and eligibility waiting periods under any self-funded group health plans of Parent or its subsidiaries to be waived with respect to the employees of the Company and its subsidiaries and their eligible dependents and (ii) give each of such employees credit for the plan year in which the Effective Time occurs toward applicable deductibles and annual out of pocket limits for expenses incurred prior to the Effective Time for which payment has been made.

(f) Effective as of the day immediately preceding the Effective Time, the Company shall terminate all Benefit Plans that are self-funded “employee benefit plans” within the meaning of ERISA or that are intended to include a Code Section 401(k) arrangement (collectively, “Terminable Benefit Plans) (unless Parent provides written notice to the Company no later than three business days prior to the Effective Time that any such Terminable Benefit Plan(s) shall not be terminated). Unless Parent provides such written notice to the Company, no later than three business days prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall provide Parent with evidence that such Terminable Benefit Plan(s) have been terminated (effective no later than the day immediately preceding the Effective Time) pursuant to resolutions of the Company Board. The form and substance of such resolutions shall be subject to review and approval of Parent (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld). The Company also shall take such other actions in furtherance of terminating such Terminable Benefit Plan(s) as Parent may reasonably require. In the event that termination of the Company’s 401(k) Plan would reasonably be anticipated to trigger liquidation charges, surrender charges or other fees then the Company shall take such actions as are necessary to reasonably estimate the amount of such charges and/or fees and provide such estimate in writing to Parent no later than ten business days prior to the Effective Time.

(g) If the Company is required to terminate any 401(k) plan: (i) Company shall make all contributions (including salary deferrals, matching contributions and discretionary employer contributions) in accordance with the terms of the 401(k) plan and past practice to employees who are eligible under the terms of any 401(k) plan as if the date of plan termination prior to the Effective Time were the last day of the plan year, and (ii) immediately following the Effective Time, active employee participants shall be eligible to participate in a tax-qualified retirement plan intended to include a Code Section 401(k) arrangement maintained by Parent or a subsidiary, and (iii) Parent shall permit the rollover of no more than one participant loan per participant to such 401(k) plan of Parent or a subsidiary.

5.10 Indemnification; Directors’ and Officers’ Insurance.

(a) From and after the earliest date on which Acquisition Sub purchases Company Shares pursuant to the Offer until the sixth anniversary of the Effective Time, Parent will fulfill and honor in all respects the obligations of the Company pursuant to (i) each indemnification agreement in effect between the Company and any Indemnified Party (as defined in Section 5.10(f)) on the date of this Agreement, and (ii) any indemnification provision and any exculpation provision set forth in the Company Certificate or Company Bylaws as in effect on the date hereof. The certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Surviving Corporation shall contain the provisions with respect to indemnification and exculpation from liability set forth in the Company Certificate and Company Bylaws on the date of this Agreement, and, during the period commencing on the earliest date on which Acquisition Sub purchases Company Shares and ending on the sixth anniversary of the Effective Time, such

provisions shall not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified in any manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of any Indemnified Party.

(b) Without limiting the provisions of Section 5.10(a), during the period commencing on the earliest date on which Acquisition Sub purchases Company Shares pursuant to the Offer and ending on the sixth anniversary of the Effective Time, Parent shall indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnified Party against and from any costs, fees and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages, liabilities and amounts paid in settlement in connection with any claim, legal proceeding, arbitration or investigation, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, to the extent such claim, legal proceeding, arbitration or investigation arises out of or pertains to (1) any action or omission or alleged action or omission in such Indemnified Party’s capacity as a director or officer of the Company (regardless of whether such action or omission, or alleged action or omission, occurred prior to, at or after the Effective Time) or (2) any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided, however, that if, at any time prior to the sixth anniversary of the Effective Time, any Indemnified Party delivers to Parent a written notice asserting a claim for indemnification under this Section 5.10(b), then the claim asserted in such notice shall survive the sixth anniversary of the Effective Time until such time as such claim is fully and finally resolved. In the event of any such claim, legal proceeding, arbitration or investigation, (i) Parent will have the right to control the defense thereof after the Effective Time (it being understood that, by electing to control the defense thereof, Parent will be deemed to have waived any right to object to the Indemnified Party’s entitlement to indemnification hereunder with respect thereto), (ii) any counsel retained by the Indemnified Parties with respect to the defense thereof for any period after the Effective Time must be reasonably satisfactory to Parent, and (iii) Parent will pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel, promptly after statements therefor are received. The Indemnified Parties as a group may retain only one law firm (in addition to local counsel) to represent them with respect to any single action unless counsel for any Indemnified Party determines in good faith that, under applicable standards of professional conduct, a conflict exists or is reasonably likely to arise on any material issue between the positions of any two or more Indemnified Parties. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 5.10(b) or elsewhere in this Agreement, Parent agrees that it will not settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment or otherwise seek termination with respect to any claim, legal proceeding, arbitration or investigation for which indemnification may be sought under this Agreement without the express written consent of the affected Indemnified Parties unless such settlement, compromise, consent or termination (i) includes an unconditional release of all Indemnified Parties from all liability arising out of such claim, legal proceeding, arbitration or investigation or (ii) involves only the payment of monetary damages (and not equitable relief) for which all Indemnified Parties are fully indemnified pursuant to the provisions of this Section 5.10.

(c) Through the sixth anniversary of the Effective Time, Parent shall maintain in effect, for the benefit of the Indemnified Parties, the current level and scope of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage as set forth in the Company’s current directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy in effect as of the date of this Agreement (a copy of which has been delivered to Parent). Parent may fulfill its obligations under this Section 5.10(c) by

purchasing a policy of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance or a “tail” policy under the Company’s existing directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy, in either case which (i) has an effective term of six years from the Effective Time, (ii) covers only those persons who are currently covered by the Company’s directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy in effect as of the date of this Agreement and only for actions and omissions occurring on or prior to the Effective Time, and (iii) contains terms and conditions that are no less advantageous, when taken as a whole, to those applicable to the current directors and officers of the Company.

(d) Parent and the Surviving Corporation jointly and severally agree to pay all expenses, including attorneys’ fees, that may be incurred by the Indemnified Parties in enforcing their indemnity rights and other rights provided in this Section 5.10.

(e) This Section 5.10 shall survive the acquisition of Company Shares pursuant to the Offer and shall also survive consummation of the Merger and the Effective Time. This Section 5.10 is intended to benefit, and may be enforced by, the Indemnified Parties and their respective heirs, representatives, successors and assigns, and shall be binding on all successors and assigns of Parent and the Surviving Corporation.

(f) For purposes of this Agreement, each Person who is or was an officer or director of the Company at or at any time prior to the Effective Time shall be deemed to be an “Indemnified Party.”

5.11 State Takeover Statutes. The Company and the Company Board shall use reasonable best efforts to (a) take all necessary actions to ensure that no state takeover statute or similar statute or regulation is or becomes applicable to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and (b) if any state takeover statute or similar statute or regulation becomes applicable to this Agreement or any transactions contemplated hereby, ensure that the Offer, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby 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 Offer, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby.

(e) the Agreement shall have been validly terminated by Parent, Acquisition Sub or the Company in accordance with Section 7 of the Agreement.

The one percent threshold established by the parties with respect to the Company’s capitalization in clause (a)(2) hereof shall not, in and of itself, constitute an economic benchmark for determining whether any Change shall be deemed to be material in relation to the Company and shall not, in and of itself, be deemed to constitute a Material Adverse Effect on the Company.

behalf of such director or officer, to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined that such director or officer is not entitled to be indemnified under this section or otherwise. The corporation may, by action of its Board of Directors, provide indemnification to employees and agents of the corporation with the same scope and effect as the foregoing indemnification of directors and officers. If a claim under the first paragraph of this section is not paid in full by the corporation within thirty (30) days after a written claim has been received by the corporation, the claimant may at any time thereafter bring suit against the corporation to recover the unpaid amount of the claim and, if successful in whole or in part, the claimant shall be entitled to be paid also the expense of prosecuting such claim. It shall be a defense to any such action (other than an action brought to enforce a claim for expenses incurred in defending any proceeding in advance of its final disposition where the required undertaking, if any is required, has been tendered to the corporation) that the claimant has not met the standards of conduct which make it permissible under the Delaware General Corporation Law for the corporation to indemnify the claimant for the amount claimed, but the burden of proving such defense shall be on the corporation. Neither the failure of the corporation (including its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification of the claimant is proper in the circumstances because he or she has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the Delaware General Corporation Law, nor an actual determination by the corporation (including its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) that the claimant has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that the claimant has not met the applicable standard of conduct.

The right to indemnification and the payment of expenses incurred in defending a proceeding in advance of its final disposition conferred in this section shall not be exclusive of any other right which any person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, by-law, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.

C. Insurance. The corporation may maintain insurance, at its expense, to protect itself and any director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation or another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any such expense, liability or loss, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such expense, liability or loss under the Delaware General Corporation Law.

D. Repeal and Modification. Any repeal or modification of the foregoing provisions of this Article X shall not adversely affect any right or protection of any director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation existing at the time of such repeal or modification.
