2.2 The Effective Time. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, on the Closing Date, Parent, Acquisition Sub and the Company shall cause the Merger to be consummated under the DGCL by filing a certificate of merger in customary form and substance (the “Certificate of Merger”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (the “Delaware Secretary of State”) in accordance with the applicable provisions of the DGCL (the time of such filing and acceptance by the Delaware Secretary of State, or such later time as may be agreed in writing by Parent, Acquisition Sub and the Company and specified in the Certificate of Merger, being referred to herein as the “Effective Time”).

2.3 The Closing. The consummation of the Merger shall take place at a closing (the “Closing”) to occur at the offices of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇▇, Professional Corporation, 1301 Avenue of the Americas, 40^th Floor, New York, New York, on a date and at a time to be agreed upon by Parent, Acquisition Sub and the Company, which date shall be no later than the third (3^rd) Business Day after the satisfaction or waiver of the last to be satisfied of the conditions set forth in Article VIII, or at such other location, date and time as Parent, Acquisition Sub and the Company shall mutually agree upon in writing. The date upon which the Closing shall actually occur pursuant hereto is referred to herein as the “Closing Date.”

2.4 Effect of the Merger. At the Effective Time, the effect of the Merger shall be as provided in this Agreement and the applicable provisions of the DGCL. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and subject thereto, at the Effective Time all of the property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of the Company and Acquisition Sub shall vest in the Surviving Corporation, and all debts, liabilities and duties of the Company and Acquisition Sub shall become the debts, liabilities and duties of the Surviving Corporation.

2.5 Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws.

(a) Certificate of Incorporation. At the Effective Time, subject to the provisions of Section 6.1(a), the certificate of incorporation of the Company shall be amended and restated in its entirety to read identically to the certificate of incorporation of Acquisition Sub, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, and such amended and restated certificate of incorporation shall become the certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter amended in accordance with the applicable provisions of the DGCL and such certificate of incorporation; provided, however, that at the Effective Time the certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation shall be amended so that the name of the Surviving Corporation shall be “infoGROUP Inc.”

(b) Bylaws. At the Effective Time, subject to the provisions of Section 6.1(a), the bylaws of Acquisition Sub, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall become the bylaws of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter amended in accordance with the

-14-

applicable provisions of the DGCL, the certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation and such bylaws.

2.6 Directors and Officers.

(a) Directors. At the Effective Time, the initial directors of the Surviving Corporation shall be the directors of Acquisition Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time, each to hold office in accordance with the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Surviving Corporation until their respective successors are duly elected or appointed and qualified.

(b) Officers. At the Effective Time, the initial officers of the Surviving Corporation shall be the officers of the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time, each to hold office in accordance with the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Surviving Corporation until their respective successors are duly appointed.

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

(a) Company Common Stock. Each share of Company Common Stock that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than (i) shares of Company Common Stock owned by Parent, Acquisition Sub or the Company, or by any direct or indirect wholly-owned Subsidiary of Parent, Acquisition Sub or the Company, in each case immediately prior to the Effective Time, and (ii) any Dissenting Company Shares) shall be canceled and extinguished and automatically converted into the right to receive cash in an amount equal to $8.00 (the “Merger Consideration”), without interest thereon, upon the surrender of the certificate representing such share of Company Common Stock in the manner provided in Section 2.8 (or in the case of a lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, upon delivery of an affidavit, and, if required, the posting of a bond in a customary amount in the manner provided in Section 2.10).

(b) Owned Company Common Stock. Each share of Company Common Stock owned by Parent, Acquisition Sub or the Company, or by any direct or indirect wholly-owned Subsidiary of Parent, Acquisition Sub or the Company, in each case immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be cancelled and extinguished without any conversion thereof or consideration paid therefor.

(c) Capital Stock of Acquisition Sub. Each share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of Acquisition Sub that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into one validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock of the Surviving Corporation. Each certificate evidencing ownership of such shares of common stock of Acquisition Sub shall thereafter evidence ownership of shares of common stock of the Surviving Corporation.

-15-

(d) Adjustment to the Merger Consideration. The Merger Consideration shall be adjusted appropriately to reflect the effect of any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend (including any dividend or distribution of securities convertible into Company Common Stock), reclassification, combination, exchange of shares or other like change with respect to Company Common Stock occurring on or after the date of this Agreement and prior to the Effective Time; provided, however, nothing in this Section 2.7(d) will modify the Company’s obligations under Section 5.1.

(e) Statutory Rights of Appraisal.

(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, all shares of Company Common Stock that are issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and held by Company Stockholders who shall have neither voted in favor of the Merger nor consented thereto in writing and who shall have properly and validly perfected their statutory rights of appraisal in respect of such shares of Company Common Stock in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL (collectively, “Dissenting Company Shares”) shall not be converted into, or represent the right to receive, the Merger Consideration pursuant to this Section 2.7. Such Company Stockholders shall be entitled to receive payment of the appraised value of such Dissenting Company Shares in accordance with the provisions of Section 262 of the DGCL, except that all Dissenting Company Shares held by Company Stockholders who shall have failed to perfect or who shall have effectively withdrawn or lost their rights to appraisal of such Dissenting Company Shares under such Section 262 of the DGCL shall no longer be considered to be Dissenting Company Shares and shall thereupon be deemed to have been converted into, and to have become exchangeable for, as of the Effective Time, the right to receive the Merger Consideration, without interest thereon, upon surrender of the certificate or certificates that formerly evidenced such shares of Company Common Stock in the manner provided in Section 2.8.

(ii) The Company shall give Parent (A) prompt notice of any demands for appraisal received by the Company, withdrawals of such demands, and any other instruments served pursuant to Delaware Law and received by the Company in respect of Dissenting Company Shares and (B) the opportunity to direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to demands for appraisal rights under Delaware Law in respect of Dissenting Company Shares. The Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of Parent, voluntarily make any payment with respect to any demands for appraisal, or settle or offer to settle any such demands for payment, in respect of Dissenting Company Shares.

(f) Company Stock-Based Awards. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, immediately prior to the Effective Time, (i) each Company Stock-Based Award that remains outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time shall become free of all restrictions and become fully vested and transferable, and (ii) each Company Stock-Based Award that remains outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be cancelled and converted into and shall become a right to receive an amount in cash (without interest), subject to applicable tax withholding, equal to the product obtained by

-16-

multiplying (x) the aggregate number of shares or fractional shares of Company Common Stock represented by such Company Stock-Based Award (assuming full vesting of such Company Stock-Based Award), and (y) the Merger Consideration (the “Stock-Based Award Consideration”) with the aggregate amount of such payment rounded to the nearest whole cent. The Company shall take all actions necessary (including obtaining any required consents) to effect the transactions contemplated by this Section 2.7(f) under all Company Stock Plans and any other plan or arrangement of the Company, including delivering all notices and making any determinations and/or resolutions of the Company Board or a committee thereof. Promptly following the Closing, the Company shall pay to each holder of Company Stock-Based Awards the Stock-Based Award Consideration pursuant to this Section 2.7(f).

(g) Company Options. Parent shall not assume any Company Options in connection with the Merger or any other transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, immediately prior to the Effective Time, (i) the vesting of each Company Option that remains outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be accelerated in full, and (ii) each Company Option that remains outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be cancelled and converted into and shall become a right to receive an amount in cash (without interest) subject to applicable tax withholding, equal to the product obtained by multiplying (x) the aggregate number of shares of Company Common Stock that were issuable upon exercise of such Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time, and (y) the Merger Consideration, less the per share exercise price of such Company Option (the “Option Consideration”) (it being understood and agreed that such exercise price shall not actually be paid to the Company by the holder of a Company Option) with the aggregate amount of such payment rounded to the nearest whole cent. The Company shall take all actions necessary (including obtaining any required consents) to effect the transactions contemplated by this Section 2.7(g) under all Company Option agreements and any other plan or arrangement of the Company, including delivering all required notices and making any determinations and/or resolutions of the Company Board or a committee thereof. Promptly following the Closing, the Company shall pay to each holder of Company Options the Option Consideration pursuant to this Section 2.7(g).

(h) From and after the Effective Time, each Company Stock-Based Award and each Company Option shall no longer represent the right to acquire Company Common Stock. The Company shall take all actions necessary to ensure that, from and after the Effective Time, neither Parent nor the Surviving Corporation will be required to deliver shares of Company Common Stock or other capital stock of the Company to any Person pursuant to or in settlement of Company Stock-Based Awards or Company Options.

(i) Employee Stock Purchase Plan. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall terminate its Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “Purchase Plan”) in accordance with its terms. The Company shall (i) amend the Purchase Plan as appropriate to avoid the commencement of any new offering of options to purchase Company Common Stock thereunder

-17-

at or after the date of this Agreement and prior to the Effective Time and (ii) provide any necessary notices to participants of the Purchase Plan.

2.8 Exchange of Certificates.

(a) Payment Agent. Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall select a bank or trust company reasonably acceptable to the Company to act as the payment agent for the Merger (the “Payment Agent”).

(b) Exchange Fund. At the Closing, Parent shall deposit (or cause to be deposited) with the Payment Agent, for payment to the holders of shares of Company Common Stock pursuant to the provisions of this Article II, an amount of cash equal to the aggregate consideration to which holders of Company Common Stock and holders of Company Stock-Based Awards and Company Options become entitled under this Article II. Until disbursed in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, such funds shall be invested by the Payment Agent, as directed by Parent or the Surviving Corporation, in obligations of or guaranteed by the United States of America or obligations of an agency of the United States of America which are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States of America (such cash amount being referred to herein as the “Exchange Fund”). Any interest and other income resulting from such investments shall be paid to the Surviving Corporation. To the extent that there are any losses with respect to any investments of the Exchange Fund, or the Exchange Fund diminishes for any reason below the level required for the Payment Agent to promptly pay the cash amounts contemplated by this Article II, Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, promptly replace or restore the cash in the Exchange Fund so as to ensure that the Exchange Fund is at all times maintained at a level sufficient for the Payment Agent to make such payments contemplated by this Article II.

(c) Payment Procedures. Promptly following the Effective Time, Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall cause the Payment Agent to mail to each holder of record (as of immediately prior to the Effective Time) of (i) a certificate or certificates (the “Certificates”) which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding shares of Company Common Stock (other than Dissenting Company Shares) and (ii) uncertificated shares of Company Common Stock (other than Owned Company Shares) (the “Uncertificated Shares”), in each case, whose shares were converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.7 (A) a letter of transmittal in customary form (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of the Certificates to the Payment Agent), and/or (B) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates and Uncertificated Shares in exchange for the Merger Consideration payable in respect thereof pursuant to the provisions of this Article II. Upon surrender of Certificates for cancellation to the Payment Agent or to such other agent or agents as may be appointed by Parent, together with such letter of transmittal, duly completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto, the holders of such Certificates shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor an amount in cash equal to the product obtained by multiplying (x) the aggregate number of shares of Company Common Stock represented by such

-18-

Certificate that were converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.7, by (y) the Merger Consideration (less any applicable withholding taxes payable in respect thereof), and the Certificates so surrendered shall forthwith be canceled. Upon receipt of an “agent’s message” by the Payment Agent (or such other evidence, if any, of transfer as the Payment Agent may reasonably request) in the case of a book-entry transfer of Uncertificated Shares, the holders of such Uncertificated Shares shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor an amount in cash equal to the product obtained by multiplying (x) the aggregate number of shares of Company Common Stock represented by such holder’s transferred Uncertificated Shares that were converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.7, by (y) the Merger Consideration (less any applicable withholding taxes payable in respect thereof), and the transferred Uncertificated Shares so surrendered shall forthwith be canceled. The Payment Agent shall accept such Certificates and transferred Uncertificated Shares upon compliance with such reasonable terms and conditions as the Payment Agent may impose to effect an orderly exchange thereof in accordance with normal exchange practices. No interest shall be paid or accrued for the benefit of holders of the Certificates and Uncertificated Shares on the Merger Consideration payable upon the surrender of such Certificates and Uncertificated Shares pursuant to this Section 2.8. Until so surrendered, outstanding Certificates and Uncertificated Shares shall be deemed from and after the Effective Time, to evidence only the right to receive the Merger Consideration, without interest thereon, payable in respect thereof pursuant to the provisions of this Article II.

(d) Transfers of Ownership. In the event that a transfer of ownership of shares of Company Common Stock is not registered in the stock transfer books or ledger of the Company, or if the Merger Consideration is to be paid in a name other than that in which the Certificates or Uncertificated Shares surrendered in exchange therefor are registered in the stock transfer books or ledger of the Company, the Merger Consideration may be paid to a Person other than the Person in whose name the Certificate or Uncertificated Share so surrendered is registered in the stock transfer books or ledger of the Company only if such Certificate or Uncertificated Shares is properly endorsed and otherwise in proper form for surrender and transfer and the Person requesting such payment has paid to Parent (or any agent designated by Parent) any transfer or other similar Taxes required by reason of the payment of the Merger Consideration to a Person other than the registered holder of such Certificate or Uncertificated Shares, or established to the satisfaction of Parent (or any agent designated by Parent) that such transfer or other similar Taxes have been paid or are otherwise not payable.

(e) Required Withholding. Each of the Payment Agent, Parent, the Surviving Corporation and their respective agents shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any cash amounts payable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder or former holder of shares of Company Common Stock, Company Stock-Based Awards and Company Options such amounts as may be required to be deducted or withheld therefrom under United States federal or state, local or foreign Tax Laws. To the extent that such amounts are so deducted or withheld and timely paid over to the appropriate Government Authority, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes under this Agreement as having been paid to the Person to whom such amounts would otherwise have been paid.

-19-

(f) No Liability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, none of the Payment Agent, Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any other party hereto shall be liable to a holder of shares of Company Common Stock for any amount properly paid to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law.

(g) Distribution of Exchange Fund to Parent. Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains undistributed to the holders of the Certificates or Uncertificated Shares on the date that is twelve (12) months after the Effective Time shall be delivered to Parent upon demand, and any holders of shares of Company Common Stock that were issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Merger who have not theretofore surrendered their Certificates or Uncertificated Shares representing such shares of Company Common Stock for exchange pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2.8 shall thereafter look for payment of the Merger Consideration payable in respect of the shares of Company Common Stock represented by such Certificates or Uncertificated Shares solely to the Surviving Corporation for payment of their claim for the Merger Consideration, without any interest thereon, upon due surrender of their Certificates or Uncertificated Shares pursuant to the provisions of this Article II.

2.9 No Further Ownership Rights in Company Common Stock. From and after the Effective Time, all shares of Company Common Stock shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled, retired and cease to exist, and each holder of a Certificate or Uncertificated Shares theretofore representing any shares of Company Common Stock shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the Merger Consideration payable therefor upon the surrender thereof in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.8. The Merger Consideration paid in accordance with the terms of this Article II shall be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such shares of the Company Common Stock. From and after the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed, and there shall be no further registration of transfers on the records of the Company or the Surviving Corporation of shares of Company Common Stock that were issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, other than transfers to reflect, in accordance with customary settlement procedures, trades effected prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates or Uncertificated Shares are presented to the Surviving Corporation for any reason, they shall be canceled and exchanged as provided in this Article II.

2.10 Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. In the event that any Certificates shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, the Payment Agent shall issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificates, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by the Payment Agent or reasonably requested by the Surviving Corporation, the posting by such Person of a bond in customary amount as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate (and such affidavit of loss shall not be deemed effective without the posting of such bond if required hereunder), the Payment Agent will issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate the Merger Consideration payable in respect thereof pursuant to Section 2.7.

-20-

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

ARTICLE III
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE COMPANY

Except (i) as set forth in the disclosure schedule delivered by the Company to Parent on the date of this Agreement (the “Company Disclosure Letter”), or (ii) as disclosed in reasonable detail in the Company SEC Reports filed by the Company with the SEC between December 31, 2008 and the date hereof (other than in any “risk factor” section, any disclosures in any section designated as relating to forward looking statements or any other disclosures included therein to the extent they are primarily predictive, cautionary or forward looking in nature), the Company hereby represents and warrants to Parent and Acquisition Sub as follows:

3.1 Organization; Good Standing. The Company is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under Delaware Law, and has the requisite corporate power and authority to conduct its business as it is presently being conducted and to own, lease or operate its properties and assets. The Company is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction where the character of its properties owned or leased or the nature of its activities make such qualification necessary (to the extent the “good standing” concept is applicable in the case of any jurisdiction outside the United States), except where the failure to be so qualified or in good standing would not have, individually or in the aggregate, a Company Material Adverse Effect. The Company has delivered or made available to Parent complete and correct copies of the certificates of incorporation and bylaws, as amended to date, of the Company. The Company is not in violation of its certificate of incorporation or bylaws.

3.2 Corporate Power; Enforceability; Approval. The Company has all requisite corporate power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement, to perform its covenants and obligations hereunder and, subject to obtaining the Requisite Stockholder Approval, to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. The execution and delivery by the Company of this Agreement, the performance by the Company of its covenants and obligations hereunder and the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated hereby have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Company and no additional corporate proceedings on the part of the Company are necessary to authorize the execution and delivery by the Company of this Agreement, the performance by the Company of its covenants and obligations hereunder or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, other than obtaining the Requisite Stockholder Approval. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Company and, assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery by Parent and Acquisition Sub, constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, except that such enforceability (a) may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other

-21-

similar laws affecting or relating to creditors’ rights generally, and (b) is subject to general principles of equity.

3.3 Requisite Stockholder Approval.

(a) The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock (the “Requisite Stockholder Approval”), is the only vote of the holders of any class or series of Company Capital Stock that is necessary under applicable Law and the Company’s certificate of incorporation and bylaws to adopt this Agreement and consummate the Merger.

(b) The Company Board has (i) determined that the Merger is fair to, and in the best interests of, the Company and its stockholders and declared advisable this Agreement, the Merger and the Voting Agreement and the other transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and (ii) the Company Board has approved this Agreement and the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby and has resolved, subject to Section 5.3, to recommend adoption of this Agreement and the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby to the holders of Company Common Stock. The Company Board has directed that this Agreement be submitted to the holders of Company Common Stock for their adoption.

3.4 Non-Contravention. The execution and delivery by the Company of this Agreement, the performance by the Company of its covenants and obligations hereunder and the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated hereby do not and will not (a) violate or conflict with any provision of the certificate of incorporation or bylaws of the Company, (b) subject to obtaining such Consents set forth in Section 3.4(b) of the Company Disclosure Letter, violate, conflict with, or result in the breach of or constitute a default (or any other event which with or without notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under, or result in the termination or cancellation of or the loss of a material benefit under, or accelerate the performance required by, or result in a right of termination, modification or acceleration under, any Material Contract, (c) assuming the Consents referred to in Section 3.4(b) are obtained or made and subject to obtaining the Requisite Stockholder Approval, violate or conflict with any Law or Order applicable to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or by which any of their properties or assets are bound, or (d) result in the creation of any Lien (other than Permitted Liens) upon any of the properties or assets of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, except in the case of each of clauses (b), (c) and (d) above, for such violations, conflicts, defaults, terminations, accelerations or Liens which would not have, individually or in the aggregate, a Company Material Adverse Effect.

3.5 Required Governmental Approvals. No consent, approval, Order or authorization of, or filing or registration with, or notification to (any of the foregoing being referred to herein as a “Consent”), any Governmental Authority is required on the part of the Company in connection with the execution and delivery by the Company of this Agreement, the performance by the Company of its covenants and obligations hereunder and the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated hereby, except (a) the filing and recordation of the

-22-

Certificate of Merger with the Delaware Secretary of State and such filings with Governmental Authorities to satisfy the applicable Laws of states in which the Company and its Subsidiaries are qualified to do business, (b) such filings and approvals as may be required by any federal or state securities laws, including compliance with any applicable requirements of the Exchange Act, (c) Consents required under, and compliance with any other applicable requirements of the HSR Act and any applicable foreign Antitrust Laws; (d) the applicable requirements of Nasdaq; and (e) such other Consents, set forth in Section 3.5(e) of the Company Disclosure Letter, the failure of which to obtain would not have, and would not be reasonably expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Company Material Adverse Effect.

3.6 Company Capitalization.

(a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, during the period beginning on the date of this Agreement and continuing until 11:59 pm (Eastern) on March 29, 2010 (the “No-Shop Period Start Date”), the Company and its Representatives may directly or indirectly: (i) initiate, solicit or encourage the submission of Acquisition Proposals from one or more Persons, including by way of providing access to non-public information pursuant to the prior execution of a confidentiality agreement with any such Person; provided, that the Company shall promptly provide to Parent any non-public information concerning the Company that is provided to any such Person or its Representatives which was not previously provided to Parent; and (ii) participate in discussions or negotiations regarding, and take any other action to facilitate any inquiries or the making of any proposal that constitutes, or may reasonably be expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal.

Subject to Section 5.2(c), at all times following the No-Shop Period Start Date and continuing until the earlier to occur of the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Article IX and the Effective Time, the Company and its Subsidiaries shall not, nor shall they authorize or knowingly permit their respective directors, officers or other employees, controlled affiliates, or any investment banker, attorney or other agent or representative retained by any of them (collectively, “Representatives”) to, directly or indirectly, (i) solicit, initiate or induce the making, submission or announcement of, or knowingly encourage, facilitate or assist, an alternative Acquisition Proposal, (ii) furnish to any Person (other than Parent, Acquisition Sub or any designees of Parent or Acquisition Sub) any non-public information relating to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or afford to any Person (other than Parent, Acquisition Sub or any designees of Parent or Acquisition Sub) access to the business, properties, assets, books, records

5.3 Company Board Recommendation. Subject to the terms of Section 5.3(a) and Section 5.3(b), the Company Board shall recommend that the holders of Company Shares adopt this Agreement in accordance with the applicable provisions of Delaware Law (the “Company Board Recommendation”) at the Company Stockholder Meeting.

(a) Neither the Company Board nor any committee thereof shall withhold, withdraw, amend or modify in a manner adverse to Parent, or publicly propose to withhold, withdraw, amend or modify in a manner adverse to Parent, the Company Board Recommendation (a “Company Board Recommendation Change”); provided, however, that a “stop, look and listen” communication by the Company Board to the Company Stockholders pursuant to Rule 14d-9(f) of the Exchange Act, or any substantially similar communication, shall not be deemed to be a Company Board Recommendation Change. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, at any time prior to receipt of the Requisite Stockholder Approval, the Company Board may effect a Company Board

-52-

Recommendation Change if: (i) the Company shall have received a Superior Proposal that was not solicited in breach of Section 5.2(b); (ii) the Company Board shall have determined in good faith (after consultation with outside legal counsel) that the failure to effect such Company Board Recommendation Change would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under Delaware Law; (iii) the Company has notified Parent in writing that it intends to effect such Company Board Recommendation Change (a “Recommendation Change Notice”) (it being understood that the Recommendation Change Notice shall not constitute a Company Board Recommendation Change for purposes of this Agreement); (iv) if requested by Parent, the Company shall have made its Representatives available to discuss with Parent’s Representatives any proposed modifications to the terms and conditions of this Agreement during the five (5) Business Day period following delivery by the Company to Parent of such Recommendation Change Notice; and (v) if Parent shall have delivered to the Company a written, binding and irrevocable offer capable of being accepted by the Company to alter the terms or conditions of this Agreement during such five (5) Business Day period, the Company Board shall have determined in good faith (after consultation with its financial advisors and outside legal counsel), after considering the terms of such offer by Parent, that the Superior Proposal giving rise to such Recommendation Change Notice continues to be a Superior Proposal.

(b) Nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit the Company Board from (i) taking and disclosing to the Company Stockholders a position contemplated by Rule 14e-2(a) under the Exchange Act or complying with the provisions of Rule 14d-9 promulgated under the Exchange Act, and (ii) making any disclosure to the Company Stockholders that the Company Board determines in good faith (after consultation with its outside legal counsel) that the failure to make such disclosure would reasonably be expected to be a breach of its fiduciary duties to the Company Stockholders under Delaware Law; provided that, in either such case, any such statement(s) or disclosures made by the Company Board will be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including the provisions of Article IX; provided, further, that the Company Board shall not recommend that the Company Stockholders tender their shares of Company Common Stock in connection with such tender or exchange offer (or otherwise approve or recommend any Acquisition Proposal) unless such tender or exchange offer constitutes a Superior Proposal and the applicable requirements of Section 5.2 shall have been satisfied.

5.4 Company Stockholder Meeting. The Company shall establish a record date for, call, give notice of, convene and hold a meeting of the Company Stockholders (the “Company Stockholder Meeting”) as promptly as practicable following the date hereof for the purpose of voting upon the adoption of this Agreement in accordance with the DGCL (the “Company Voting Proposal”).

(a) Each of Parent and Acquisition Sub shall vote all Company Shares beneficially owned by it or any of its respective Subsidiaries as of the applicable record date in favor of the adoption of this Agreement in accordance with the DGCL at the Company Stockholder Meeting or otherwise. Parent shall vote all of the shares of capital stock of Acquisition Sub beneficially owned by it, or sign a written consent in lieu of a meeting of the

-53-

stockholders of Acquisition Sub, in favor of the adoption of this Agreement in accordance with the DGCL.

(b) Unless otherwise required by applicable Law or Order, the Company shall not postpone the Company Stockholder Meeting after the date on which the Proxy Statement is first disseminated to Company stockholders, or adjourn the Company Stockholder Meeting, unless there are insufficient shares of Company Common Stock present in person or represented by proxy at the Company Stockholder Meeting in order to conduct business at the Company Stockholder Meeting. The Company shall solicit from the Company stockholders proxies in favor of the Company Voting Proposal, and unless the Company Board has effected a Company Board Recommendation Change, the Company Board shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain the Requisite Company Stockholder Vote at the Company Stockholder Meeting or any postponement or adjournment thereof. At the Company Stockholder Meeting, the Company shall submit to a vote of its stockholders the Company Voting Proposal. The Company shall not propose for consideration or submit for a vote any matters at the Company Stockholder Meeting other than the Company Voting Proposal (or an adjournment of the Company Stockholder Meeting if permitted hereunder) without the prior written consent of Parent. The Company shall not establish a record date for, call, give notice of, convene or hold any meeting of the Company stockholders unless and until the Company Stockholder Meeting has been held, a vote of the Company stockholders has been taken on the Company Voting Proposal and the Company Stockholder Meeting has been adjourned.

5.5 Access. At all times during the period commencing with the execution and delivery of this Agreement and continuing until the earlier to occur of the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Article IX and the Effective Time, the Company shall afford Parent and its financial advisors, business consultants, legal counsel, accountants and other agents and representatives reasonable access during normal business hours, upon reasonable notice, to the properties, books and records and personnel of the Company (including, without limitation, if reasonably requested by Parent, consistent on-site access to senior management and such other key personnel as Parent reasonably requests); provided, however, that the Company may restrict or otherwise prohibit access to any documents or information to the extent that (i) any applicable Law requires the Company to restrict or otherwise prohibit access to such documents or information, (ii) access to such documents or information would give rise to a material risk of waiving any attorney-client privilege, work product doctrine or other applicable privilege applicable to such documents or information, or (iii) access to a Contract to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or otherwise bound would violate or cause a default under, or give a third party the right terminate or accelerate the rights under, such Contract; and provided further, that no information or knowledge obtained by Parent in any investigation conducted pursuant to the access contemplated by this Section 5.5 shall affect or be deemed to modify any representation or warranty of the Company set forth in this Agreement or otherwise impair the rights and remedies available to Parent and Acquisition Sub hereunder. Any investigation conducted pursuant to the access contemplated by this Section 5.5 shall be conducted in a manner that does not unreasonably interfere with the conduct of the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries or create a risk of damage or destruction to any property or assets of the

-54-

Company or any of its Subsidiaries. Any access to the Company’s properties shall be subject to the Company’s reasonable security measures and insurance requirements and shall not include the right to perform invasive testing. The terms and conditions of the Confidentiality Agreement shall apply to any information obtained by Parent or any of its financial advisors, business consultants, legal counsel, accountants and other agents and representatives in connection with any investigation conducted pursuant to the access contemplated by this Section 5.5.

The Company shall promptly advise Parent of any litigation commenced after the date hereof against the Company or any of its directors or officers (in their capacity as such) by any Company Stockholders (on their own behalf or on behalf of the Company) relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, and shall keep Parent reasonably informed regarding any such litigation. The Company shall give Parent the opportunity to consult with the Company regarding the defense or settlement of any such stockholder litigation and shall consider Parent’s views with respect to such stockholder litigation. The Company shall not settle any such stockholder litigation without Parent’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld).

5.7 Section 16(b) Exemption. The Company shall take all actions reasonably necessary to cause the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and any other dispositions of equity securities of the Company (including derivative securities) in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement by each individual who is a director or executive officer of the Company to be exempt under Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act.

5.8 Financing. Prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, and use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ respective Representatives to, provide to Parent and Acquisition Sub all cooperation reasonably requested by Parent that is necessary, proper, advisable or desirable in connection with the arrangement of the Financing, including (i) participating in a reasonable number of meetings, presentations, road shows, due diligence sessions and sessions with rating agencies and assisting Parent in obtaining ratings as contemplated by the Debt Financing; (ii) assisting with the preparation of materials for rating agency presentations, bank information memoranda, and similar documents required in connection with the Debt Financing, including execution and delivery of customary representation letters in connection with bank information memoranda; provided, that any such memoranda or prospectuses shall contain disclosure and financial statements with respect to the Company or the Surviving Corporation reflecting the Surviving Corporation and/or its Subsidiaries as the obligor; (iii) as promptly as reasonably practical, furnishing Parent and its Debt Financing sources with financial and other information regarding the Company and its Subsidiaries as may be reasonably requested by Parent to prepare the bank information memoranda contemplated by the Debt Financing Letter (including in connection with Parent’s preparation of pro forma financial statements), (all such information in this clause (iii), the “Required Information”); (iv) using reasonable best efforts to obtain appraisals, surveys, engineering reports, environmental and other inspections (including providing reasonable access to Parent and its agents to all Owned Real Property for such purposes), title insurance and other documentation and items relating to the Debt Financing as reasonably

-55-

requested by Parent and, if requested by Parent or Acquisition Sub, to cooperate with and assist Parent or Acquisition Sub in obtaining such documentation and items; (v) providing assistance to obtain a solvency opinion from an independent investment bank or valuation firm of nationally recognized standing; (vi) using reasonable best efforts to provide monthly financial statements (excluding footnotes) within fifteen (15) days of the end of each month prior to the Closing Date; (vii) using reasonable best efforts to obtain consents of accountants for use of their reports in any materials relating to the Debt Financing and reasonably facilitating the pledging or the re-affirmation of the pledge of collateral (including cooperation in connection with the pay-off of existing Indebtedness and the release of related Liens); (viii) taking commercially reasonable actions necessary to (A) permit the prospective lenders involved in the Debt Financing to evaluate the Company’s current assets, cash management and accounting systems, policies and procedures relating thereto for the purposes of establishing collateral arrangements as of the Effective Time and (B) assist Parent to establish or maintain, effective as of the Effective Time, bank and other accounts and blocked account agreements and lock box arrangements in connection with the Debt Financing; (ix) using reasonable best efforts to assist Parent to obtain waivers, consents, estoppels and approvals from other parties to material leases, encumbrances and contracts to which any Subsidiary of the Company is a party and to arrange discussions among Parent, Acquisition Sub and their financing sources with other parties to material leases, encumbrances and contracts as of the Effective Time; and (x) taking all corporate actions, subject to the occurrence of the Effective Time, reasonably requested by Parent that are necessary or customary to permit the consummation of the Financing, and to permit the proceeds thereof, together with the cash at the Company and its Subsidiaries (not needed for other purposes), to be made available to the Company on the Closing Date to consummate the Merger; provided, that none of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or any of their respective officers, advisors or representatives shall incur any liability in connection with the Financing prior to the Effective Time; provided, further, that such requested cooperation does not unreasonably interfere with the ongoing operations of the Company and its Significant Subsidiaries. The Company will use its reasonable best efforts to periodically update any such Required Information provided pursuant to clause (iii) of the foregoing sentence as may be necessary such that such Required Information does not contain any untrue statement of material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained therein not misleading. For the avoidance of doubt, if requested by Parent to most effectively access the financing markets, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cooperate with this Section 5.8 at any time, and from time to time and on multiple occasions, between the date hereof and the Effective Time. In addition, the Company agrees that if reasonably requested by Parent it will supplement and use reasonable best efforts to keep current the Required Information so that Parent may most effectively access the financing markets. If, in connection with a marketing effort contemplated by the Debt Financing Letter, the Parent reasonably requests the Company to file a report on Form 8-K pursuant to the Exchange Act that contains material non-public information with respect to the Company and its subsidiaries, which the Parent reasonably determines to include in a customary offering memorandum for such debt, then, upon the Company’s review of and satisfaction with such filing (it being acknowledged and agreed that such filing shall contain any and all reasonable comments of the Company), the

-56-

Company shall file such report on Form 8-K; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to file any information on Form 8-K that the Company reasonably determines are reasonably likely to be competitively harmful to the Company, it being understood that publication of an adjusted EBITDA number will not be deemed to be competitively harmful to the Company. All non-public or otherwise confidential information regarding the Company or its Subsidiaries obtained by Parent, Acquisition Sub or their respective officers, advisors or representatives shall be kept confidential in accordance with the Confidentiality Agreement. The Company shall deliver to Parent as promptly as reasonably practicable following the end of each fiscal quarter ending on or after December 31, 2009, the unaudited consolidating balance sheets and combined statements of income reflecting the financial condition as of the last day of each fiscal quarter and the results of operations during such quarter and for the elapsed portion of the fiscal year together with a comparison to the comparable period from the prior fiscal year, in each case, of the Company and prepared in accordance with GAAP (except for the absence of footnotes and subject to year-end adjustments). Parent shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its Significant Subsidiaries and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents and representatives from and against any and all losses, damages, claims, costs or expenses suffered or incurred by any of them of any type in connection with the arrangement of the Financing (other than to the extent such losses arise from the misconduct of the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or their respective officers, advisors and representatives) and any information used in connection therewith, and the foregoing obligations shall survive termination of this Agreement.

In addition, during the period commencing at the Effective Time and ending on the sixth anniversary of the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries shall (and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries to) cause the certificates of incorporation and bylaws (and other similar organizational documents) of the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries to contain provisions with respect to indemnification, exculpation and the advancement of expenses that are at least as favorable as the indemnification, exculpation and advancement of expenses provisions contained in the certificates of incorporation and bylaws (or other similar organizational documents) of the Company and its Subsidiaries as of the date hereof, and during such six-year period, such provisions shall not be repealed, amended or otherwise modified in any manner except as required by applicable Law.

(b) Without limiting the generality of the provisions of Section 6.1(a), during the period commencing at the Effective Time and ending on the sixth anniversary of the Effective Time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries shall (and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries to) indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnified Person from and against any costs, fees and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and investigation expenses), judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages, liabilities and amounts paid in settlement in connection with any claim, proceeding, investigation or inquiry, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, to the extent such claim, proceeding, investigation or inquiry arises directly or indirectly out of or pertains directly or indirectly to (i) any action or omission or alleged action or omission in such Indemnified Person’s capacity as a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or other Affiliates (regardless of whether such action or omission, or alleged action or omission, occurred prior to, at or after the Effective Time) so long as any such action or omission or alleged action or omission satisfies the provisions set forth in Section 145 of the DGCL, or (ii) 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 Person delivers to Parent a written notice asserting a claim for indemnification under this Section 6.1(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 addition, during the period commencing at the Effective Time and ending on the sixth anniversary of the Effective Time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries shall (and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries to) advance, prior to the final disposition of any claim, proceeding, investigation or inquiry for which indemnification may be sought under this Agreement, promptly following request by an Indemnified Person therefor, all costs, fees and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and investigation expenses) incurred by such Indemnified Person in connection with any such claim, proceeding, investigation or inquiry upon receipt of an undertaking by such Indemnified Person to repay such advances if it is ultimately decided in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction that such Indemnified Person is not entitled to indemnification. In the event of any such claim, proceeding, investigation or inquiry, (i) the Surviving Corporation shall have the right to control the defense thereof after the Effective Time (it being understood that, by electing to control the defense thereof, the Surviving Corporation will be deemed to have waived any right to object to the Indemnified Person’s entitlement to indemnification hereunder with respect thereto), (ii) each Indemnified Person shall be entitled to retain his or her own counsel, whether or not the Surviving Corporation shall elect to control the defense of any such claim, proceeding, investigation or inquiry, (iii) the Surviving Corporation shall pay all reasonable fees and expenses of any counsel retained by an Indemnified Person, promptly after statements therefor are received, whether or not the Surviving Corporation shall elect to control the defense of any such claim, proceeding, investigation or inquiry, and (iv) no Indemnified Person shall be liable for any settlement effected without his or her prior express written consent. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 6.1(b) or elsewhere in this Agreement, neither the Surviving Corporation nor any of its Affiliates (including Parent) shall settle or otherwise compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment or otherwise seek termination with respect

-58-

to any claim, proceeding, investigation or inquiry for which indemnification may be sought by an Indemnified Person under this Agreement unless such settlement, compromise, consent or termination includes an unconditional release of all Indemnified Persons from all liability arising out of such claim, proceeding, investigation or inquiry. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing contained in this Section 6.1(b) should increase or enhance indemnity protections currently provided to any Indemnified Person.

(c) During the period commencing at the Effective Time and ending on the sixth anniversary of the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall (and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to) maintain in effect the Company’s current directors’ and officers’ liability insurance (“D&O Insurance”) in respect of acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Effective Time, covering each person covered by the D&O Insurance, on terms with respect to the coverage and amounts that are equivalent to those of the D&O Insurance; provided, however, that in satisfying its obligations under this Section 6.1(c), Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall not be obligated to pay annual premiums in excess of three hundred percent (300%) of the amount paid by the Company for coverage for its last full fiscal year (such three hundred percent (300%) amount, the “Maximum Annual Premium”) (which aggregate premium amounts the Company represents and warrants to be as set forth in Section 6.1(c) of the Company Disclosure Letter); provided that, if the annual premiums of such insurance coverage exceed such amount, Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall be obligated to obtain a policy with the greatest coverage available for a cost not exceeding the Maximum Annual Premium. Prior to the Effective Time, notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, the Company may purchase a six-year “tail” prepaid policy on the D&O Insurance; provided, however, the Company shall provide Parent with reasonable advance notice prior to purchasing any such “tail” policy; provided, further, in no event shall the Company pay in excess of $750,000 for any such “tail” policy. In the event that the Company elects to purchase such a “tail” policy prior to the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall (and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to) maintain such “tail” policy in full force and effect and continue to honor their respective obligations thereunder, in lieu of all other obligations of Parent and the Surviving Corporation under the first sentence of this Section 6.1(c) for so long as such “tail” policy shall be maintained in full force and effect.

(d) If Parent or the Surviving Corporation or any of its successors or assigns shall (i) consolidate with or merge into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger, or (ii) transfer all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, proper provisions shall be made so that the successors and assigns of the Surviving Corporation shall assume all of the obligations of Parent and the Surviving Corporation set forth in this Section 6.1.

(e) The obligations set forth in this Section 6.1 shall not be terminated, amended or otherwise modified in any manner that adversely affects any Indemnified Person (or any other person who is a beneficiary under the D&O Insurance or the “tail” policy referred to in Section 6.1(c) (and their heirs and representatives)) without the prior written consent of such

-59-

affected Indemnified Person or other person who is a beneficiary under the D&O Insurance or the “tail” policy referred to in Section 6.1(c) (and their heirs and representatives). Each of the Indemnified Persons or other persons who are beneficiaries under the D&O Insurance or the “tail” policy referred to in Section 6.1(c) (and their heirs and representatives) are intended to be third party beneficiaries of this Section 6.1, with full rights of enforcement as if a party thereto. The rights of the Indemnified Persons (and other persons who are beneficiaries under the D&O Insurance or the “tail” policy referred to in Section 6.1(c) (and their heirs and representatives)) under this Section 6.1 shall be in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other rights that such persons may have under the certificates of incorporation, bylaws or other equivalent organizational documents, any and all indemnification agreements of or entered into by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or applicable Law (whether at law or in equity).

(f) The obligations and liability of Parent, the Surviving Corporation and their respective Subsidiaries under this Section 6.1 shall be joint and several.

(g) Nothing in this Agreement is intended to, shall be construed to or shall release, waive or impair any rights to directors’ and officers’ insurance claims under any policy that is or has been in existence with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for any of their respective directors, officers or other employees, it being understood and agreed that the indemnification provided for in this Section 6.1 is not prior to or in substitution for any such claims under such policies.

6.2 De-Listing; De-Registration. Parent shall cause the Company’s securities to be de-listed from the Nasdaq and de-registered under the Exchange Act as soon as practicable following the Effective Time.

6.3 Employee Matters.

(a) For a period of one year following the Effective Time, Parent shall (or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to) provide each Continuing Employee with employee benefit plans, programs and policies, (including without limitation any plan intended to qualify under Section 401(a) of the Code and any vacation, medical, severance and time off) providing benefit levels and coverage substantially comparable in the aggregate as either (i) the benefits provided to Continuing Employees under the Employee Plans immediately prior to the Effective Time, other than equity based compensation (“Company Plans”), (ii) the benefits provided by Parent under the plans and programs generally made available to similarly situated employees of Parent and its Subsidiaries (“Comparable Plans”), or (iii) any combination of (i) and (ii).

(b) To the extent that a Company Plan or Comparable Plan is made available to any Continuing Employee on or following the Effective Time, Parent shall (and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to) cause to be granted to such Continuing Employee credit for all service with the Company and its Subsidiaries prior to the Effective Time for purposes of eligibility to participate, vesting and entitlement to benefits where length of service is relevant (including for purposes of vacation accrual and severance pay entitlement, but excluding benefit

-60-

accrual); provided, however, that such service need not be credited to the extent that it would result in duplication of coverage or benefits. In addition, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing: (i) each Continuing Employee shall be immediately eligible to participate, without any waiting time, in any and all employee benefit plans sponsored by the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries (other than the Company Plans) (such plans, collectively, the “New Plans”) to the extent coverage under any such New Plan replaces coverage under a comparable Company Plan in which such Continuing Employee participates immediately before the Effective Time (such plans, collectively, the “Old Plans”); and (ii) for purposes of each New Plan providing medical, dental, pharmaceutical, vision and/or disability benefits to any Continuing Employee, the Surviving Corporation shall, subject to any reasonably required approval by the applicable insurance provider, cause all waiting periods, pre-existing condition exclusions, evidence of insurability requirements and actively-at-work or similar requirements of such New Plan to be waived for such Continuing Employee and his or her covered dependents, and the Surviving Corporation shall cause any eligible expenses incurred by such Continuing Employee and his or her covered dependents during the portion of the plan year of the Old Plan ending on the date such employee’s participation in the corresponding New Plan begins to be given full credit under such New Plan for purposes of satisfying all deductible, coinsurance and maximum out-of-pocket requirements applicable to such Continuing Employee and his or her covered dependents for the applicable plan year as if such amounts had been paid in accordance with such New Plan, and (iii) credit the accounts of such Continuing Employees under any New Plan which is a flexible spending plan with any unused balance in the account of such Continuing Employee under the applicable Company Plan. Any vacation or paid time off accrued but unused by a Continuing Employee as of immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be credited to such Continuing Employee following the Effective Time.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, no provision of this Agreement shall or shall be deemed to (i) guarantee employment for any period of time for, or preclude the ability of Parent or the Surviving Corporation to terminate, any Continuing Employee for any reason, or (ii) (a) amend, any Employee Plan, (b) provide any person not a party to this Agreement with any right, benefit, or remedy with regard to any Employee Plan or a right to enforce any provision of this Agreement, or (c) limit in any way the ability of Parent or the Surviving Corporation to amend or terminate any Employee Plan at any time.

6.4 Financing.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each of Parent and Acquisition Sub shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain the Financing on the terms and conditions described in the Financing Letters (including any applicable lender flex provisions contained in any related fee letter) and shall not permit any amendment or modification (including any replacement of any portion of the Debt Financing as a result of Acquisition Sub’s election to issue a portion of the Debt Financing with mezzanine notes as provided pursuant to the terms of the Debt Financing Letter as in effect as of the date hereof) to be made to, or any waiver of any provision or remedy under, the Financing Letters, if such amendment,

-61-

modification or waiver (x) reduces the aggregate amount of the Financing or (y) imposes new or additional conditions or otherwise expands, amends or modifies any of the conditions to the receipt of the Financing in a manner that would reasonably be expected to (I) delay or prevent the Merger, (II) make the funding of the Financing (or satisfaction of the conditions to obtaining the Financing) less likely to occur or (III) adversely affect the ability of Parent, Acquisition Sub or the Company, as applicable, to enforce its rights against other parties to the Financing Letters or the definitive agreements with respect thereto; provided, that Parent and Acquisition Sub may (i) amend the Debt Financing Letter to add lenders, lead arrangers, bookrunners, syndication agents or similar entities who had not executed the Debt Financing Letter as of the date of this Agreement or (ii) otherwise replace or amend the Debt Financing Letter so long as (x) such action would not reasonably be expected to delay or prevent the Closing, (y) the terms are not materially less beneficial to Parent or Acquisition Sub, with respect to conditionality, than those in the Debt Financing Letter as in effect on the date of this Agreement and (z) otherwise satisfies the terms and conditions of a New Debt Commitment Letter as set forth in the third sentence of Section 6.4(b) below. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Parent and Acquisition Sub may enter discussions regarding, and may enter into arrangements and agreements relating to the Financing to add other equity providers, so long as in respect of any such arrangements and agreements, the following conditions are met: (i) the aggregate amount of the Equity Financing is not reduced, (ii) the arrangements and agreements, in the aggregate, would not be reasonably likely to delay or prevent the Closing and (iii) the arrangements and agreements would not diminish or release the pre-Closing obligations of the parties to the Equity Financing Letters, adversely affect the rights of Parent to enforce its rights against the other parties to the Equity Financing Letters or otherwise constitute a waiver or reduction of Parent’s rights under the Equity Financing Letters.

(b) Each of Parent and Acquisition Sub shall use its reasonable best efforts (I) to maintain in effect the Financing Letters, (II) to satisfy all conditions to such definitive agreements and consummate the Financing at or prior to the Closing (taking into account the expected timing of the Marketing Period), (III) to comply with its obligations under the Financing Letters, and (IV) to enforce its rights under the Financing Letters. Parent shall keep the Company informed on a reasonably current basis and in reasonable detail of the status of its efforts to arrange the Financing and provide to the Company copies of all definitive documents related to the Financing (provided that any fee letter related to the Financing shall be provided in a redacted form). If any portion of the Debt Financing becomes unavailable on the terms and conditions contemplated in the Debt Financing Letter (including any applicable lender flex provisions contained in any related fee letter) or the Debt Financing Letter shall be terminated or modified in a manner materially adverse to Parent or Acquisition Sub for any reason, Parent shall make reasonable inquiries over the ensuing twenty (20) Business Days to obtain alternative financing from banks of nationally recognized standing which customarily provide leverage financing for transactions similar to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement on terms not materially less favorable to Parent or Acquisition Sub as those contained in the Debt Financing Letter and in an amount not less than the aggregate amount of Debt Financing provided for in the Debt Financing Letter as in effect on the date of this Agreement (“Alternate Financing”) and, if available, use reasonable best efforts to obtain such Alternative Financing

-62-

and, if obtained, will provide the Company with a copy of, a new financing commitment letter that (I) provides for at least the same amount of financing as provided under the Debt Financing Letter originally issued, (II) does not impose new or additional conditions that were not contained in the Debt Financing Letter originally issued, or otherwise expands, amends or modifies any of the conditions that were contained in the Debt Financing Letter originally issued to the receipt of the Financing in a manner reasonably expected to (x) delay or prevent the Merger, (y) make the funding of the Financing (or satisfaction of the conditions to obtaining the Financing) less likely to occur, and (III) on terms and conditions not materially less favorable to Parent or Acquisition Sub than those included in the Debt Financing Letter originally issued (the “New Debt Financing Letter”). To the extent applicable, each of Parent and Acquisition Sub shall use its reasonable best efforts (I) to maintain in effect the New Debt Financing Letter, (II) to satisfy all conditions to the definitive agreements with respect to and consummate the Alternate Financing at or prior to the Closing (taking into account the expected timing of the Marketing Period), (III) to comply with its obligations under the New Debt Financing Letter, and (IV) to enforce its rights under the New Debt Financing Letter. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Parent and Acquisition Sub shall give the Company as promptly as reasonably practicable notice and in any event within two (2) Business Days: (i) of any breach or default by any party to any Financing Letters or definitive document related to the Financing of which Parent and Acquisition Sub become aware; (ii) of the receipt of any written notice or other written communication from any Financing source with respect to any: (A) breach, default, termination or repudiation by any party to any Financing Letters or any definitive document related to the Financing of any provisions of the Financing Letters or any definitive document related to the Financing or (B) material dispute or disagreement between or among any parties to any Financing Letters or any definitive document related to the Financing; and (iii) if for any reason Parent or Acquisition Sub believes in good faith that it will not be able to obtain all or any portion of the Financing on the terms, in the manner or from the sources contemplated by the Financing Letters or the definitive documents related to the Financing. As soon as reasonably practicable, but in any event within two (2) Business Days of the date the Company delivers Parent or Acquisition Sub a written request, Parent and Acquisition Sub shall provide any information reasonably requested by the Company relating to any circumstance referred to in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) of the immediately preceding sentence.

(c) Parent and Acquisition Sub shall use their reasonable best efforts to cause the lenders and any other Persons providing Financing to fund on the Closing Date (taking into account the expected timing of the Marketing Period) the Financing required to consummate the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement if all conditions to closing contained in Article VIII are satisfied or waived (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the fulfillment or waiver of those conditions).

(d) For purposes of this Agreement, “Marketing Period” shall mean the first period of thirty (30) consecutive calendar days after the date Parent and its financing sources have received from the Company the Required Information.

(e) Liquidated Damages.

(i) In the event that Parent shall be entitled to the Company Termination Fee (including reimbursement of Parent’s Transaction Expenses) pursuant to Section 9.3(a) or Section 9.3(b), the delivery of such fee shall be deemed to be liquidated damages for any and all losses or damages suffered or incurred by Parent, Acquisition Sub or any of their respective Affiliates or any other Person in connection with or related to or arising out of this Agreement (and the termination thereof), the transactions contemplated hereby (and the abandonment thereof) or any matter forming the basis for such termination, and none of Parent, Acquisition Sub, any of their respective Affiliates or any other Person shall be entitled to bring or maintain any other claim, action or proceeding against the Company arising out of this Agreement (and the termination thereof), the transactions contemplated hereby (and the abandonment thereof) or any matter forming the basis for such termination.

(ii) In the event that Company shall be entitled to the Parent Termination Fee (including reimbursement of the Company’s Transaction Expenses) pursuant to Section 9.3(c), the delivery of such fee shall be deemed to be liquidated damages for any and all losses or damages suffered or incurred by the Company or any of its respective Affiliates or any other Person in connection with or related to or arising out of this Agreement (and the termination thereof), the transactions contemplated hereby (and the abandonment thereof) or any matter forming the basis for such termination, and none of the Company, any of its respective Affiliates or any other Person shall be entitled to bring or maintain any other claim, action, or proceeding against Parent, Acquisition Sub or any of their respective Affiliates or any financing sources (including the parties to the transactions contemplated by the Debt Financing Letter) or their respective Affiliates (each a “Lender Related Party” and collectively, the “Lender Related Parties”) arising out of this Agreement (and the termination thereof), the transactions contemplated hereby (and the abandonment thereof) or any matter forming the basis for such termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is explicitly agreed that Parent shall have no right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.1(b) during the pendency of a Legal Proceeding by the Company for specific performance of this Agreement or the Equity Financing Letters.

WARRANTIES CONTAINED IN THIS AGREEMENT, NEITHER PARENT AND ACQUISITION SUB, ON THE ONE HAND, NOR THE COMPANY, ON THE OTHER HAND, MAKES ANY REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES TO THE OTHER, AND EACH PARTY HEREBY DISCLAIMS ANY OTHER REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, OR AS TO THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF ANY OTHER INFORMATION, MADE (OR MADE AVAILABLE BY) BY ITSELF OR ANY OF ITS REPRESENTATIVES, WITH RESPECT TO, OR IN CONNECTION WITH, THE NEGOTIATION, EXECUTION OR DELIVERY OF THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY, NOTWITHSTANDING THE DELIVERY OR DISCLOSURE TO THE OTHER OR THE OTHER’S REPRESENTATIVES OF ANY DOCUMENTATION OR OTHER INFORMATION WITH RESPECT TO ANY ONE OR MORE OF THE FOREGOING.

10.5 Third Party Beneficiaries.

-80-

remedy conferred hereby, or by law or equity upon such party, and the exercise by a party of any one remedy will not preclude the exercise of any other remedy.

(b) The parties hereto hereby agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any provision of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with its specific terms or were otherwise breached, and that money damages or other legal remedies would not be an adequate remedy for any such damages.
