AGREEMENT OF MERGER

This Agreement of Merger dated as of December 26, 2006 (this “Agreement”) is among Cenveo, Inc., a Colorado corporation (“Parent”), Mouse Acquisition Corp., a Virginia corporation and an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), and Cadmus Communications Corporation, a Virginia corporation (the “Company”). Capitalized terms used but not defined elsewhere herein have the meanings assigned to them in Section 8.15.

The respective Boards of Directors of Parent, Merger Sub and the Company desire to enter into a transaction whereby Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company (the “Merger”), pursuant to which each issued and outstanding share of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.50 per share (“Company Common Stock”), not owned directly or indirectly by the Company will be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration.

In furtherance thereof, the respective Boards of Directors of Parent, Merger Sub and the Company have adopted this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, including, without limitation, the Merger. The Board of Directors of the Company has recommended that its shareholders approve this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, including, without limitation, the Merger.

Concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, and as a condition and inducement to the willingness of Parent and Merger Sub to enter into this Agreement, Parent and certain of the Company’s shareholders are entering into a Voting Agreement (the “Voting Agreement”) with respect to the voting of Company Common Stock in connection with the Merger.

Parent, Merger Sub and the Company desire to make certain representations, warranties and agreements in connection with, and to prescribe certain conditions to, the Merger.

In consideration of the foregoing and the mutual covenants, representations, warranties and agreements set forth herein, and intending to be legally bound, the parties agree as follows:

ARTICLE 1

THE MERGER

Section 1.1. The Merger. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, and in accordance with the Virginia Stock Corporation Act (the “VSCA”), Merger Sub shall be merged with and into Company at the Effective Time and the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub shall thereupon cease. The Company shall be the surviving corporation in the Merger (the “Surviving Corporation”) and shall continue to be governed by the Laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia, and the separate corporate existence of the Company, with all of its rights, privileges, immunities, powers and franchises shall continue unaffected by the Merger except as otherwise provided herein.

Section 1.2. Closing. The closing of the Merger (the “Closing”) shall occur as promptly as practicable after the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Article 6, and in any event no later than 10:00 a.m., local time, on the third Business Day after the

satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Article 6, other than conditions which by their nature are to be satisfied at Closing, or such other time and date as Parent and the Company shall agree in writing, unless this Agreement has been theretofore terminated pursuant to its terms (the actual time and date of the Closing is referred to as the “Closing Date”). The Closing shall be held at the offices of Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx & Xxxx LLP, Xxx Xxxxxxx Xxxx Xxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, XX 00000 or such other place as Parent and the Company shall agree in writing.

Section 1.3. Effective Time. At the Closing, the parties hereto shall (a) file articles of merger, in customary form (the “Articles of Merger”), together with the related plan of merger meeting the requirements of Section 13.1-716 of the VSCA (such plan of merger, the “Plan of Merger”), substantially in the form attached hereto to Exhibit A, with the State Corporation Commission of the Commonwealth of Virginia (the “SCC”) and (b) duly make all other filings and recordings required by the VSCA in order to effectuate the Merger. The Merger shall become effective upon the issuance of a certificate of merger by the SCC or at such later time as may be agreed to by Parent and the Company in writing and specified in the Articles of Merger (the date and time that the Merger becomes effective is referred to as the “Effective Time”).

Section 1.4. Effects of the Merger. The Merger shall have the effects set forth in this Agreement and § 13.1-721 of the VSCA.

Section 1.5. Articles of Incorporation. The articles of incorporation of Merger Sub, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be the articles of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation (except that the name of the Surviving Corporation shall be “Cadmus Communications Corporation”), until thereafter amended in accordance with applicable Law.

Section 1.6. Bylaws. Merger Sub’s bylaws, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be the bylaws of the Surviving Corporation (except that the name of the Surviving Corporation shall be “Cadmus Communications Corporation”), until thereafter amended in accordance with applicable Law.

Section 1.7. Officers and Directors. The officers of the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the officers of the Surviving Corporation, until the earlier of their resignation or removal or until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified, as the case may be. The directors of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the directors of the Surviving Corporation, until the earlier of their resignation or removal or until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified, as the case may be.

Section 1.8. Effect on Capital Stock. At the Effective Time, pursuant to this Agreement and by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder of any shares of Company Common Stock or any shares of capital stock of Merger Sub:

(a) Each share of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than shares canceled pursuant to Section 1.8(c) below, the “Excluded Shares”) shall be cancelled and converted into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to $24.75, without interest (the “Merger Consideration”), payable to the holder thereof upon surrender of the certificate formerly representing such shares of Company Common Stock in accordance with Article 2.

-2-

(b) All shares of Company Common Stock shall cease to be outstanding and shall be automatically canceled and retired and shall cease to exist, and each holder of a certificate that, immediately prior to the Effective Time, represented any shares of Company Common Stock shall thereafter cease to have any rights with respect to such shares of Company Common Stock, other than the right to receive the Merger Consideration.

(c) Each share of Company Common Stock that is owned directly or indirectly by Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or any wholly-owned Subsidiary of the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be automatically canceled and retired and shall cease to exist, and no consideration shall be made or delivered in exchange therefor.

(d) Each share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into one validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Surviving Corporation, which shall constitute the only outstanding shares of capital stock of the Surviving Corporation.

Section 1.9. Company Stock Options and Other Equity-Based Awards.

(a) Awards of restricted shares of Company Common Stock from the Company (collectively, “Company Restricted Shares”) granted under the Cadmus Communications Corporation FY 2005-2007 Executive Long-Term Incentive Plan, as corrected April 18, 2005 (the “LTIP”), shall vest, immediately prior to the Effective Time, to the extent provided under Section 8(b) of the LTIP and, as of the Effective Time, such vested Company Restricted Shares shall become shares of Company Common Stock that are converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration as provided in Section 1.8(a). Any Company Restricted Shares that have not vested immediately prior to the Effective Time pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be automatically canceled and retired and shall cease to exist as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, and no consideration shall be made or delivered in exchange therefor.

(b) All outstanding options to acquire shares of Company Common Stock from the Company (collectively, “Company Stock Options”) heretofore granted under any Company Stock Plan shall become exercisable and vested immediately prior to the Effective Time and cease to represent, as of the Effective Time, a right to acquire shares of Company Common Stock and shall be converted, in settlement and cancellation thereof, into the right to receive, at the Effective Time, a lump sum cash payment by the Surviving Corporation of an amount equal to (i) the excess, if any, of (A) the per share Merger Consideration over (B) the exercise price per share of Company Common Stock subject to such Company Stock Option, multiplied by (ii) the number of shares of Company Common Stock for which such Company Stock Option shall not theretofore have been exercised.

(c) No Person shall have any right under the Company Stock Plans or under any other plan, program, agreement or arrangement with respect to equity interests of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or for the issuance or grant of any right of any kind, contingent or accrued, to receive benefits measured by the value of a number of shares of Company Common Stock (including restricted stock units, deferred stock units and dividend equivalents), at and after the Effective Time (except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Section 1.9 or Article 2).

-3-

(d) Promptly after the Effective Time and not later than three Business Days after the Closing Date (unless additional time is required to process payments under the Company’s payroll systems), the Surviving Corporation shall pay to each holder of Company Stock Options the cash payments specified in this Section 1.9. The Company’s payroll processor shall be instructed to promptly pay the holders of Company Stock Options the amounts they are entitled to receive hereunder. No interest shall be paid or accrue on the cash payments contemplated by this Section 1.9. The Surviving Corporation and Parent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder of Company Stock Options any Taxes that either of them is required or permitted to deduct and withhold under applicable Law. To the extent that amounts are so deducted and withheld by the Surviving Corporation or Parent and paid over to the appropriate taxing authority, the amounts so deducted and withheld shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of the Company Stock Options in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made by the Surviving Corporation or Parent, as the case may be, and the Paying Agent, the Surviving Corporation or Parent shall provide to the holders of such securities written notice of the amounts so deducted or withheld.

(e) Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to effectuate the provisions of this Section 1.9, including the conversion of each Company Stock Option into the right to receive an amount in cash as described in Section 1.9(b). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 1.9, payment may be withheld in respect of any employee stock option until such necessary consents are obtained.

Section 1.10. Certain Adjustments. If, between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time: (a) the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock shall have been increased, decreased, changed into or exchanged for a different number of shares or different class, in each case, by reason of any reclassification, recapitalization, stock split, split-up, combination or exchange of shares; (b) a stock dividend or dividend payable in any other securities of the Company shall be declared with a record date within such period; or (c) any similar event shall have occurred, then in each instance referred to in the preceding clauses (a) through (c) the Merger Consideration shall be appropriately adjusted to provide the holders of shares of Company Common Stock (and Company Stock Options) the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such event.

ARTICLE 2

CONVERSION OF SHARES

Section 2.1. Paying Agent. At or prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall designate, and enter into an agreement with, a bank or trust company reasonably acceptable to the Company to act as paying agent in the Merger (the “Paying Agent”). Parent shall deposit with the Paying Agent as of the Effective Time, for the benefit of the holders of shares of Company Common Stock, cash sufficient to effect the payment of the Merger Consideration to which such holders are entitled pursuant to Section 1.8(a) and this Article 2.

-4-

Section 2.2. Payment Procedures. As promptly as practicable, but in no event later than three Business Days, after the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Paying Agent to mail to each holder of record of one or more certificates that, prior to the Effective Time, represented shares of Company Common Stock that were converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 1.8(a) (the “Certificates”): (a) a letter of transmittal (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 Paying Agent and shall be in such a form and have such other provisions as Parent may reasonably specify); and (b) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates in exchange for the Merger Consideration. Upon surrender of a Certificate for cancellation to the Paying Agent or to such other agent or agents as Parent may appoint, together with such letter of transmittal, duly executed and completed, and such other documents as the Paying Agent may reasonably require, the holder of such Certificate shall be entitled to receive the Merger Consideration in exchange for each share of Company Common Stock formerly represented by such Certificate, and the Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be canceled. No interest shall be paid or accrue on the Merger Consideration. If any portion of the Merger Consideration is to be made to a Person other than the Person in whose name the applicable surrendered Certificate is registered, then it shall be a condition to the payment of such Merger Consideration that (i) the Certificate so surrendered shall be properly endorsed or shall be otherwise in proper form for transfer and (ii) the Person requesting such payment shall have (A) paid any transfer and other Taxes required by reason of such payment in a name other than that of the registered holder of the Certificate surrendered or (B) established to the reasonable satisfaction of Parent that any such Taxes either have been paid or are not payable.

Section 2.3. Undistributed Merger Consideration. Any portion of the funds made available to the Paying Agent pursuant to Section 2.1 that remains undistributed to holders of Certificates on the date that is one year after the Effective Time shall be delivered to Parent or its designee, and any holders of Certificates who have not theretofore complied with this Article 2 shall thereafter look only to Parent for the Merger Consideration to which such holders are entitled pursuant to Section 1.8(a) and this Article 2. Any portion of the funds made available to the Paying Agent pursuant to Section 2.1 that remains unclaimed by holders of Certificates on the date that is five years after the Effective Time or such earlier date immediately prior to such time as such amounts would otherwise escheat to or become property of any Governmental Entity shall, to the extent permitted by Law, become the property of the Surviving Corporation, free and clear of all claims or interests of any Person previously entitled thereto.

Section 2.4. No Liability. None of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company, the Surviving Corporation, the Paying Agent or their respective directors, officers, employees and representatives shall be liable to any Person in respect of any Merger Consideration delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law.

Section 2.5. Investment of Merger Consideration. The Paying Agent shall invest the funds made available to the Paying Agent pursuant to Section 2.1 as directed by Parent on a daily basis in obligations of or guaranteed by the United States of America and backed by the full faith and credit of the United States of America or in commercial paper obligations rated A-2/P-2 or better by Xxxxx’x Investors Services, Inc. and Standard & Poor’s Corporation, respectively (or money market funds rated Aaa or better by Xxxxx’x Investors Services, Inc. or AAA or better by Standard & Poor’s Corporation); provided, however, that no such gain or loss thereon shall affect

-5-

the amounts payable to holders of Certificates pursuant to Section 1.8(a) and this Article 2. Any interest and other income resulting from such investments shall be the property of, and shall promptly be paid to, Parent.

Section 2.6. Lost Certificates. If any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, then, 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 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 Certificate, the Paying Agent shall deliver in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate the applicable Merger Consideration with respect to the shares of Company Common Stock formerly represented thereby.

Section 2.7. Withholding Rights. The Paying Agent, the Surviving Corporation and Parent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder of shares of Company Common Stock with respect to the making of such payment that either of them is required or entitled to deduct and withhold under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), or any provision of any other Tax law. To the extent that amounts are so deducted and withheld by the Surviving Corporation or Parent and paid over to the appropriate taxing authority, the amounts so deducted and withheld shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of such shares of Company Common Stock in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made by the Surviving Corporation or Parent, as the case may be, and the Paying Agent, the Surviving Corporation or Parent shall provide to the holders of such securities written notice of the amounts so deducted or withheld.

Section 2.8. Further Assurances. At and after the Effective Time, the officers and directors of the Surviving Corporation will be authorized to execute and deliver, in the name and on behalf of the Company or Merger Sub, all deeds, bills of sale, assignments and assurances and to take and do, in the name and on behalf of the Company or Merger Sub, all other actions and things to vest, perfect or confirm of record or otherwise in the Surviving Corporation all right, title and interest in, to and under all of the rights, properties or assets acquired or to be acquired by the Surviving Corporation as a result of, or in connection with, the Merger.

Section 2.9. Stock Transfer Books. The stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed immediately upon the Effective Time, and there shall be no further registration of transfers of shares of Company Common Stock thereafter on the records of the Company. At or after the Effective Time, any Certificates presented to the Paying Agent, Parent or the Surviving Corporation for any reason shall, subject to compliance with the provisions of this Article 2 by the holder thereof, be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration with respect to the shares of Company Common Stock formerly represented thereby.

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE COMPANY

The Company represents and warrants to Parent and Merger Sub as follows:

Section 3.1. Organization and Qualification. Each of the Company and its Subsidiaries is a corporation or other entity duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the Laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or organization and has full corporate or other power and authority to own, operate and lease the properties owned or used by it and to carry on its business as and where such is now being conducted, except where the failure to be so standing, individually or in the aggregate, has not had and would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on the Company. Each of the Company and its Subsidiaries is duly licensed or qualified to do business as a foreign corporation, and is in good standing, in each jurisdiction wherein the character of the properties owned or leased by it, or the nature of its business, makes such licensing or qualification necessary, except where the failure to be so licensed or qualified, individually or in the aggregate, has not had and would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on the Company. The copies of the articles of incorporation and bylaws of the Company, including any amendments thereto, that have been made available by the Company to Parent prior to the date of this Agreement are correct and complete copies of such instruments as presently in effect.

Section 3.2. Capitalization.

(a) As of December 22, 2006 (the “Capitalization Date”), the authorized capital stock of the Company consisted entirely of: (i) 16,000,000 shares of Company Common Stock, of which 9,532,029 shares of Company Common Stock were issued and outstanding; and (ii) 1,000,000 shares of Serial Preferred Stock, par value $1.00 per share, none of which were issued and outstanding or held in the treasury of the Company. All issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company and its Subsidiaries are validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable. As of the Capitalization Date, there were (x) Company Stock Options representing in the aggregate the right to acquire 439,520 shares of Company Common Stock and (y) Company Restricted Shares relating to in the aggregate 320,318 shares of Company Common Stock under the Company Stock Plans. Schedule 3.2(a) to the Company Disclosure Schedule sets forth a correct and complete list, as of the Capitalization Date, of the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to Company Stock Options, the number of unvested Company Restricted Shares or other rights to purchase or receive Company Common Stock, or benefits based on the value of Company Common Stock, granted under the Company Stock Plans, the Employee Benefit Plans or otherwise, and the holders who are executive officers of the Company (including breakdowns by individuals for holders who are directors or executive officers of the Company), the dates of grant and the exercise prices thereof. No bonds, debentures, notes or other indebtedness of the Company having the right to vote (or convertible into, or exchangeable for, securities having the right to vote) on any matters on which holders of capital stock of the Company may vote (“Company Voting Debt”) are issued or outstanding. There are no outstanding obligations of the Company or its Subsidiaries to repurchase, redeem or otherwise acquire any shares of capital stock or other equity interests of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. Except as set forth above, no shares of capital stock or other voting securities of the Company have been issued or reserved for issuance or are outstanding, other than the shares of Company Common Stock reserved for issuance under the Company Stock Plans. Except as set forth above, there are no options, warrants, rights, convertible or exchangeable securities, “phantom” stock rights, stock appreciation rights, stock-based performance units, commitments, Contracts, arrangements or undertakings of any kind to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which any of them is bound: (A) obligating the Company or any of

(c) Except as set forth in Schedule 3.14(c) to the Company Disclosure Schedule, with respect to each Employee Benefit Plan subject to Title IV of ERISA: (i) the present value of all accrued benefits under each such single employer plan (based on the assumptions used to fund the plan) did not as of the last annual actuarial valuation date exceed the value of the assets of such single employer plan allocable to such accrued benefits, and no event has occurred since valuation date, and no condition exists, which is reasonably likely to materially increase the funding or accounting costs for such single employer plans; (ii) no proceeding has been initiated or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened by any Person (including the PBGC) to terminate any such plan; (iii) no “reportable event” (as defined in Section 4043 of ERISA) has occurred with respect to any such plan, and no such reportable event will occur as a result of the transactions contemplated hereby; and (iv) no such plan that is subject to Section 302 of ERISA or Section 412 of the Code has incurred an “accumulated funding deficiency” (as defined in Section 302 of ERISA and Section 412 of the Code), whether or not such deficiency has been waived. None of the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any ERISA Affiliate has incurred any outstanding liability under Section 4062, 4063 or 4064 of ERISA to the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (“PBGC”) or to a trustee appointed under Section 4042 of ERISA. None of the Employee Benefit Plans or any other plan, fund or program ever maintained or contributed to by the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any ERISA Affiliate that is subject to Title IV of ERISA has been terminated so as to subject, directly or indirectly, any assets of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to any liability, contingent or otherwise, or the imposition of any Lien under Title IV of ERISA.

(d) The Company and each of its Subsidiaries have reserved the right to amend, terminate or modify at any time all Employee Benefit Plans, except as limited by the terms of a collective bargaining agreement or contract with an individual or to the extent applicable Law would prohibit the Company or any Subsidiary from so reserving or exercising such right.

(e) Except as set forth on Schedule 3.14(e) to the Company Disclosure Schedule, the Internal Revenue Service has issued a currently effective favorable determination letter with respect to each Employee Benefit Plan that is intended to be a “qualified plan” within the meaning of Section 401 of the Code, and each trust maintained pursuant thereto has been determined to be exempt from federal income taxation under Section 501 of the Code by the IRS. Each such Employee Benefit Plan has been timely amended since the date of the latest favorable determination letter in accordance with all applicable Laws. Nothing has occurred

-18-

with respect to the operation of any such Employee Benefit Plan that is reasonably likely to cause the loss of such qualification or exemption or the imposition of any liability, penalty or tax under ERISA or the Code or the assertion of claims by “participants” (as that term is defined in Section 3(7) of ERISA) other than routine benefit claims.

(f) None of the Company, its Subsidiaries, the officers or directors of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or the Employee Benefit Plans that are subject to ERISA, any trusts created thereunder or any trustee or administrator thereof has engaged in a “prohibited transaction” (as such term is defined in Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code) or any other breach of fiduciary responsibility that could subject the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any officer or director of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to any tax or penalty on prohibited transactions imposed by such Section 4975 or to any liability under Section 502 of ERISA.

(g) Except as, individually or in the aggregate, have not had and would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on the Company, there are no claims (except claims for benefits payable in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice and proceedings with respect to qualified domestic relations orders), suits or proceedings pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened against or involving any Employee Benefit Plan, asserting any rights or claims to benefits under any Employee Benefit Plan or asserting any claims against any administrator, fiduciary or sponsor thereof. Except as, individually or in the aggregate, have not had and would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on the Company, there are no pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened investigations by any Governmental Entity involving any Employee Benefit Plans.

(h) All Employee Benefit Plans have been established, maintained and administered in accordance with their terms and with all provisions of applicable Laws, including ERISA and the Code, except for instances of noncompliance where neither the costs to comply nor the failure to comply, individually or in the aggregate, have had or would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on the Company. All contributions or premiums required to be made with respect to an Employee Benefit Plan, whether by law or pursuant to the terms of the plan or any contract that funds the benefits due thereunder, have been made when due. With respect to any Employee Benefit Plan the liabilities of which have been disclosed on the Company’s financial statements as included in the Company SEC Reports filed prior to the date of this Agreement, no event has occurred since the date of such disclosure that has resulted in a material increase in such liabilities.

(i) Except as set forth on Schedule 3.14(i) to the Company Disclosure Schedule, neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby (either alone or in conjunction with any other event) will: (i) increase any benefits otherwise payable under any Employee Benefit Plan; (ii) result in any acceleration of the time of payment or vesting of any such benefits; (iii) limit or prohibit the ability to amend or terminate any Employee Benefit Plan; (iv) require the funding of any trust or other funding vehicle; or (v) renew or extend the term of any agreement in respect of compensation for an employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that would create any liability to the Company, any of its Subsidiaries, Parent or the Surviving Corporation or their respective Affiliates after consummation of the Merger.

-19-

(j) Except as set forth in Schedule 3.14(j) of the Company Disclosure Schedule, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is a party to a Contract (including this Agreement) that under any circumstances could obligate it to make payments (either before or after the Closing Date) that will not be deductible because of Section 162(m) or Section 280G of the Code. Schedule 3.14(j) to the Company Disclosure Schedule sets forth each Employee Benefit Plan that provides for a payment upon a change in control and/or any subsequent employment termination (including any agreement that provides for the cash-out or acceleration of options or restricted stock and any “gross-up” payments with respect to any of the foregoing), but excluding severance plans that are generally applicable to employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries.

(k) Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has provided written communications to any group of its current or former employees or any of its directors of any intention or commitment to establish or implement any additional material Employee Benefit Plan or other employee benefit arrangement or to amend or modify, in any material respect, any existing Employee Benefit Plan.

(l) With respect to each Employee Benefit Plan that is subject to the Law of any jurisdiction other than the United States (a “Foreign Benefit Plan”), except as, individually or in the aggregate, have not had and would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on the Company: (i) all employer and employee contributions to each Foreign Benefit Plan required by Law or by the terms of such Foreign Benefit Plan have been made or, if applicable, accrued in accordance with normal accounting practices; (ii) the fair market value of the assets of each funded Foreign Benefit Plan, the liability of each insurer for any Foreign Benefit Plan funded through insurance or the book reserve established for any Foreign Benefit Plan, together with any accrued contributions, is sufficient to procure or provide for the accrued benefit obligations with respect to all current and former participants in such plan according to the actuarial assumptions and valuations most recently used to determine employer contributions to such Foreign Benefit Plan, and no transaction contemplated by this Agreement will cause such assets, or insurance obligations or book reserve to be less than such benefit obligations; (iii) all Foreign Benefit Plans have been maintained in accordance with its terms and all requirements of applicable Law; (iv) each Foreign Benefit Plan required to be registered has been registered and has been maintained in good standing with the appropriate Governmental Entities; and (v) to the extent any Foreign Benefit Plan is intended to qualify for special tax treatment, such Foreign Benefit Plan meets all requirements for such treatment. There is no Foreign Benefit Plan with respect to which the Company is obligated to make disclosure in the Company SEC Reports where the Company has not made the disclosure so required. The Company has prior to the date of this Agreement provided Parent with a correct and complete list of all Foreign Benefit Plans.

(m) Each “nonqualified deferred compensation plan” (as defined in Section 409A(d)(1) of the Code) of the Company has been operated since January 1, 2005 in good faith compliance with Section 409A of the Code, IRS Notice 2005-1 and Proposed Treasury Regulations promulgated under Section 409A of the Code.

(n) Insurance. The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to use commercially reasonable efforts, not to permit any material insurance policy or arrangement naming or providing for the Company or any of its Subsidiaries as a beneficiary or a loss payee to be canceled or terminated (unless such policy or arrangement is canceled or terminated in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice and concurrently replaced with a policy or arrangement with substantially similar coverage) or materially impaired.

(a) As soon as practicable after the date of this Agreement (but in any event no later than 15 Business Days after the date of this Agreement) the Company shall prepare and file with the SEC a proxy statement and proxy card with respect to the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby (collectively, including all amendments or supplements thereto, the “Proxy Statement”). Parent shall cooperate in the preparation of the Proxy Statement and shall promptly provide to the Company any information regarding Parent or Merger Sub that is necessary to include in the Proxy Statement. The Company shall ensure that the Proxy Statement complies as to form in all material respects with the applicable provisions of the Exchange Act. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to have the Proxy Statement cleared by the SEC and mailed to its shareholders as promptly as practicable after its filing with the SEC. The Company shall, as promptly as practicable after receipt thereof, provide Parent with copies of all written comments, and advise Parent of all oral comments, with respect to the Proxy Statement received from the SEC. If, at any time prior to the Effective Time, any information relating to the Company, or any of its Subsidiaries, officers or directors, should be discovered by Parent or the Company that should be set forth in an amendment or supplement to the Proxy Statement so that such document would not include any misstatement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, then the party that discovers such information shall promptly notify the other party hereto and, to the extent required by Law, the Company shall promptly file with the SEC and disseminate to its shareholders an appropriate amendment or supplement describing such information. Notwithstanding the foregoing, prior to filing or mailing the Proxy Statement (or any amendment or supplement thereto) or responding

-29-

to any comments of the SEC with respect thereto, the Company (i) shall provide Parent with a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such document or response and (ii) will not unreasonably reject any reasonable comments of a substantive nature that Parent proposes promptly after the Company provides Parent with a copy of such document or response. On the date of their filing or delivery, the Company shall provide Parent with a copy of all such filings with, and all such responses delivered to, the SEC.

(b) The Company shall, as soon as reasonably practicable, duly take all lawful action to call, give written notice of, convene and hold a meeting of its shareholders (the “Company Shareholders Meeting”) for the purpose of obtaining the Company Requisite Shareholder Vote with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby and shall take all lawful action to solicit the approval and adoption of this Agreement by the Company Requisite Shareholder Vote. The Board of Directors of the Company shall recommend approval and adoption of this Agreement and the related Plan of Merger by the shareholders of the Company to the effect set forth in Section 3.7 (the “Company Recommendation”), and the Board of Directors of the Company shall not withdraw, modify or qualify (or propose to withdraw, modify or qualify or publicly announce that it is considering withdrawing, modifying or qualifying) in any manner adverse to Parent such recommendation or take any action or make any statement in connection with the Company Shareholders Meeting inconsistent with such recommendation, including a recommendation by the Company’s Board of Directors of an Acquisition Proposal (collectively, a “Change in Company Recommendation”); provided, however, that the Board of Directors of the Company may make a Change in the Company Recommendation in accordance with, and subject to the limitations set forth in, Section 5.5. The Company shall adjourn the Company Shareholders Meeting (x) from time to time at the written request of Parent for up to 10 days upon each such request in the event there shall not be a quorum at the Company Shareholders Meeting and (y) on one occasion at the written request of Parent for up to 10 days in the event Parent reasonably believes based on information from the Company and its proxy solicitor that less than a majority of the shares of Company Common Stock entitled to vote on the Merger intend to or have voted “against”, and less than a majority of such shares intend to or have voted “for”, approval and adoption of this Agreement and the related Plan of Merger.

Section 5.3. Access and Information.

(a) Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, upon reasonable notice, afford Parent and its counsel, accountants, consultants and other authorized representatives reasonable access, during normal business hours, to the employees, properties, books and records of the Company and its Subsidiaries; provided, however, that such access shall not affect the representations and warranties made by the Company in this Agreement. Without limitation of the foregoing, the Company shall cause its officers and employees to (x) furnish such financial and operating data and other information as may be reasonably requested by Parent from time to time and (y) respond to such reasonable inquiries as may be made by Parent from time to time. Prior to their filing, the Company shall furnish as promptly as practicable to Parent a copy of each registration statement, prospectus, report, form and other document (if any) that will be filed by it or any of its Subsidiaries after the date of this Agreement pursuant to the requirements of federal or state securities Laws, The NASDAQ Global Market or the VSCA. All of the requirements of this Section 5.3 shall be subject to any prohibitions or limitations of applicable law and shall be subject to the Confidentiality Agreement.

The Company shall provide Parent with prompt written notice of any investigations by Governmental Entities, or the institution of material litigation (including all litigation relating to the transactions contemplated hereby), and the Company shall keep Parent informed of such events. Parent shall provide the Company with prompt written notice of the institution or, to its knowledge, the threat of litigation relating to the transactions contemplated hereby.

Section 5.4. Reasonable Best Efforts.

(a) Each of the Company and Parent shall cooperate with and assist the other party, and shall use its reasonable best efforts, to promptly (i) take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable Law to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby as soon as practicable, including preparing and filing as promptly as practicable all documentation to effect all necessary filings, notices, petitions, statements, registrations, submissions of information, applications and other documents, and (ii) obtain and maintain all approvals, consents, registrations, permits, authorizations and other confirmations required to be obtained from any other Person, including any Governmental Entity, that are necessary, proper or advisable to consummate the Merger and other transactions contemplated hereby in the most expeditious manner practicable, but in any event before the Termination Date. Except as otherwise expressly contemplated hereby, each of the Company and Parent shall not, and shall cause its Subsidiaries not to, take any action or knowingly omit to take any action within its reasonable control where such action or omission would, or would reasonably be expected to, result in (A) any of the conditions to the Merger set forth in Article 6 not being satisfied prior to the Termination Date or (B) a material delay in the satisfaction of such conditions. Neither Parent nor the Company will directly or indirectly extend any waiting period under the HSR Act or other Regulatory Laws or enter into any agreement with a Governmental Entity to delay or not to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement except with the prior written consent of the other, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld in light of closing the transactions contemplated by this Agreement on or before the Termination Date.

(b) In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, each party hereto shall (i) make an appropriate filing of a Notification and Report Form pursuant to the HSR Act, apply for early termination thereunder and make appropriate filings under all other applicable Regulatory Laws with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby as promptly as practicable after the date of this Agreement (but in no event shall such Notification and Report Form be filed more than 10 days after the date of this Agreement), (ii) supply as promptly as practicable any additional information and documentary material that may be requested pursuant to the HSR Act and any other applicable Regulatory Laws and (iii) take all other actions necessary to cause the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting periods under the HSR Act and any other applicable Regulatory Laws as soon as practicable.

The parties hereto may, as each deems advisable and necessary, reasonably designate any competitively sensitive material provided to the other under this Section 5.4 as “Outside Counsel Only”. Such materials and the information contained therein shall be given only to the outside legal counsel of the recipient and will not be disclosed by such outside counsel to employees, officers or directors of the recipient unless express permission is obtained in advance from the source of the materials (the Company or Parent, as the case may be) or its legal counsel. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5.4, materials provided to the other party or its counsel may be redacted to remove references concerning the valuation of the Company and its Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, nothing in this Agreement will require or obligate Parent or any of its Affiliates to (and in no event shall any representation, warranty or covenant of Parent contained in this Agreement be breached or deemed breached as a result of the failure of Parent to take any of the following actions) (i) agree to or otherwise become subject to any limitations on (A) the right of Parent effectively to control or operate its business (including the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries) or assets (including, except as and to the extent provided in the last parenthetical in clause (ii), the assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries), (B) the right of Parent to consummate the Merger, or (C) the right of Parent to exercise full rights of ownership of its business (including the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries) or assets (including, except as and to the extent provided in the last parenthetical in clause (ii), the assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries), or (ii) agree or be required to sell, license or otherwise dispose of, hold (through the establishment of a trust or otherwise), or divest itself of, or limit its rights in, all or any portion of the business, assets or operations of Parent or any of its Affiliates or the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries or any of the assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries (other than a portion of the business or assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries that is not, in the aggregate, material to the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole).

-32-

investment bankers, attorneys, accountants and other advisors (collectively, the “Representatives”), not to, directly or indirectly, (1) solicit or initiate the making of, or take any other action to knowingly facilitate any inquiries or the making of any proposal that constitutes or may reasonably be expected to lead to, any Acquisition Proposal (including, without limitation, taking any action to make the provisions of any “moratorium”, “control share”, “fair price”, “affiliate transaction”, “business combination” or other antitakeover laws and regulations of any state, including, without limitation, the provisions of Article 14 and Article 14.1 of the VSCA inapplicable to any transactions contemplated by an Acquisition Proposal), (2) participate in any way in discussions or negotiations with, or furnish or disclose any non public information to, any Person (other than Parent or any of its Representatives) in connection with any Acquisition Proposal, (3) effect a Change in the Company Recommendation, (4) approve or recommend, or publicly announce it is considering approving or recommending, any Acquisition Proposal or (5) enter into any agreement, letter of intent, agreement-in-principle or acquisition agreement relating to any Acquisition Proposal.

(i) participate in discussions or negotiations with, or furnish or disclose nonpublic information to, any Person or any Person’s Representatives in response to an unsolicited, bona fide and written Acquisition Proposal that is submitted to the Company by such Person after the date of this Agreement and prior to the time that the Company Requisite Shareholder Vote is obtained if and so long as (A) none of the Company, any of its Affiliates or any of the Representatives of the Company or any of its Affiliates has solicited such Acquisition Proposal or otherwise violated any of the provisions of Section 5.5(a)(1) through (5) with respect to such Acquisition Proposal, (B) a majority of the members of the Board of Directors of the Company determines in good faith, after consultation with a nationally recognized financial advisor, that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes or is reasonably likely to constitute a Superior Proposal, (C) a majority of the members of the Board of Directors of the Company determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that failing to take such action would be inconsistent with their fiduciary duties to the Company and the Company’s shareholders under applicable Law (including, without limitation, their obligations under VSCA §13.1-690A), (D) prior to participating in discussions or negotiations with, or furnishing or disclosing any nonpublic information to, such Person, the Company provides Parent with written notice of the identity of such Person and of the Company’s intention to participate in discussions or negotiations with, or to furnish or disclose nonpublic information to, such Person, (E) prior to participating in discussions or negotiations with, or furnishing or disclosing any nonpublic information to, such Person, the Company receives from such Person an executed confidentiality agreement containing terms no less restrictive upon such Person, in any respect, than the terms applicable to Parent under the Confidentiality Agreement, which confidentiality agreement shall not provide such Person with any exclusive right to negotiate with the Company or have the effect of prohibiting the Company from satisfying its obligations under this Agreement, and (F) prior to furnishing or disclosing any nonpublic information to such Person, the Company furnishes such information to Parent (to the extent such information has not been previously delivered or made available by the Company to Parent);

-33-

(ii) approve or recommend, or enter into (and, in connection therewith, effect a Change in the Company Recommendation), a definitive agreement with respect to an unsolicited, bona fide written Acquisition Proposal that is submitted to the Company after the date of this Agreement and prior to the time that the Company Requisite Shareholder Vote is obtained if and so long as (A) none of the Company, any of its Affiliates or any of the Representatives of the Company or any of its Affiliates has solicited such Acquisition Proposal or otherwise violated any of the provisions of this Section 5.5, (B) the Company provides Parent with written notice indicating that the Company, acting in good faith, believes that the Acquisition Proposal is reasonably likely to constitute a Superior Proposal, (C) during the three Business Day period after the Company provides Parent with the written notice described in clause (B) above, the Company shall cause its financial and legal advisors to negotiate in good faith with Parent (to the extent Parent wishes to negotiate) in an effort to make such adjustments to the terms and conditions of this Agreement such that the Acquisition Proposal would not constitute a Superior Proposal (it is understood and agreed that, in the event such Acquisition Proposal does not constitute a Superior Proposal after taking into account such negotiations and adjustments, the Company would then proceed with the transactions contemplated hereby on such adjusted terms), (D) notwithstanding the negotiations and adjustments pursuant to clause (C) above but after taking into account the results of such negotiations and adjustments, the Board of Directors of the Company makes the determination necessary for such Acquisition Proposal to constitute a Superior Proposal at least three Business Days after the Company provides Parent with the written notice referred to in clause (B) above, (E) notwithstanding the negotiations and adjustments pursuant to clause (C) above but after taking into account the results of such negotiations and adjustments, at least three Business Days after the Company provides Parent with the written notice referred to in clause (B) above, a majority of the members of the Board of Directors of the Company determine in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that failing to approve or recommend or enter into a definitive agreement with respect to such Acquisition Proposal would be inconsistent with their fiduciary duties to the Company and the Company’s shareholders under applicable Law (including, without limitation, their obligations under VSCA §13.1-690A) and that such Acquisition Proposal remains a Superior Proposal and (F) not later than the earlier of the approval or recommendation of, or the execution and delivery of a definitive agreement with respect to, any such Superior Proposal, the Company (I) terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1(h) and (II) makes the payment of the Termination Fee and the Termination Expenses required to be made pursuant to Section 7.2(b); and

(iii) effect a change in the Company Recommendation (other than in connection with an Acquisition Proposal) prior to the time that the Company Requisite Shareholder Vote is obtained if a majority of the members of the Board of Directors of the Company determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that failure to do so would constitute a breach of their fiduciary duties to the Company and the Company’s shareholders under applicable Law (including, without limitation, their obligations under VSCA §13.1-690A).

(b) In addition to the obligations of the Company set forth in Section 5.5(a), within one Business Day of the receipt thereof, the Company shall provide Parent with written

-34-

notice of (i) any request for information, any Acquisition Proposal or any inquiry, proposal, discussions or negotiations with respect to any Acquisition Proposal, (ii) the material terms and conditions of such request, Acquisition Proposal, inquiry, proposal, discussions or negotiations and (iii) the identity of the Person making any such Acquisition Proposal or such request, inquiry or proposal or with whom such discussions or negotiations are taking place, and the Company shall promptly provide Parent with copies of any material written materials received by the Company in connection with any of the foregoing. The Company shall keep Parent informed of the status and general progress (including amendments or proposed amendments to any material terms) of any such request or Acquisition Proposal and keep Parent informed as to the material details of any information requested of or provided by the Company and as to the material details of all discussions or negotiations. Without limiting the Company’s obligations under Section 5.5(a), the Company shall provide Parent with notice prior to any meeting of the Board of Directors of the Company at which the Board of Directors is reasonably expected to consider any material action with respect to an Acquisition Proposal that is on the agenda for such meeting.

(c) The Company shall, and shall cause its Affiliates and the Representatives of the Company and its Affiliates to, immediately cease all discussions or negotiations, if any, with any Person other than Parent and its Subsidiaries that may be ongoing as of the date of this Agreement with respect to any Acquisition Proposal. The Company shall promptly request each Person who has heretofore executed a confidentiality agreement in connection with its consideration of acquiring the Company or any portion thereof (including any of its Subsidiaries) to return or destroy all nonpublic information heretofore furnished to such Person by or on behalf of the Company.

(d) Nothing contained in this Section 5.5 shall prohibit the Company from complying with Rule 14e-2 and Rule 14d-9 promulgated under the Exchange Act with respect to an Acquisition Proposal, provided that such Rules shall in no way eliminate or modify the effect that any action pursuant to such Rules would otherwise have under this Agreement.

(e) Any violation of this Section 5.5 by the Company’s Affiliates or the Representatives of the Company shall be deemed to be a breach of this Agreement by the Company, whether or not such Affiliate or Representative is authorized to act and whether or not such Affiliate or Representative is purporting to act on behalf of the Company.

Section 5.6. Indemnification; Directors and Officers Insurance.

(a) Parent shall cause all rights to indemnification and exculpation from liabilities for acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Effective Time (including, but not limited to, any acts or omissions in connection with this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby) now existing in favor of any current and former officers, directors and employees of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, and any Person prior to the Effective Time serving at the request of any such party as a director, officer, employee fiduciary or agent of another corporation, partnership, trust or other enterprise, as provided in the respective certificates or articles of incorporation or bylaws (or comparable organizational documents) of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (the “Indemnified Persons”), to survive the Merger and shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with their terms for a period of six years after the Effective Time. Parent shall provide, or shall cause the Surviving

-35-

Corporation to provide, for an aggregate period of not less than six years from the Effective Time, the Indemnified Persons an insurance policy that provides coverage for events occurring at or prior to the Effective Time (including, but not limited to, any acts or omissions in connection with this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby) (the “D&O Insurance”) on the same terms as the Company’s existing policy or, if such insurance coverage is unavailable, coverage that is on terms no less favorable to such directors and officers; provided, however, that neither Parent nor the Surviving Corporation shall be required to pay an annual premium for the D&O Insurance in excess of 200% of the last annual premium that the Company paid prior to the date of this Agreement. In lieu of Parent causing the Surviving Corporation to maintain the policies as described above, Parent may elect to cause the Company to purchase immediately prior to the Effective Time a six-year “tail” pre-paid policy on terms and conditions not materially less favorable than the current directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies (but not, in any event, to exceed in cost the present value of the aggregate amount required to be paid for the D&O Insurance pursuant to the proviso in the immediately preceding sentence), such policy to be effective as of the Effective Time.

(b) The provisions of this Section 5.6 shall survive the consummation of the Merger for a period of six years and are expressly intended to benefit each of the Indemnified Persons and their respective heirs and representatives; provided, however, that in the event that any claim or claims for indemnification set forth in this Section 5.6 are asserted or made within such six-year period, all rights to indemnification in respect of any such claim or claims shall continue until disposition of any and all such claims. If Parent and/or Surviving Corporation, or any of their respective successors or assigns, (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person, or (ii) transfers or conveys all or substantially all of their businesses or assets to any other Person, then, in each such case, to the extent necessary, a proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Parent and/or Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, shall assume the obligations of Parent and Surviving Corporation set forth in this Section 5.6.

Section 5.7. Public Announcements. Neither Parent nor the Company, other than on a conference call with analysts and other investors, shall issue any press release or otherwise make any public statement with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby without the prior written consent of the other, unless Parent or the Company (as the case may be) determines that the issuance of such press release or the making of such other public statement be required by applicable Law or by obligations pursuant to any applicable listing agreement with any national securities exchange.

Section 5.8. Section 16 Matters. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall take all actions that are required to cause any dispositions of Company Common Stock (and derivative securities with respect to Company Common Stock) resulting from the transactions contemplated by Article 1 by each individual who is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act with respect to the Company to be exempt under Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act.

Section 5.9. State Takeover Laws. If any “moratorium”, “control share”, “fair price”, “affiliate transaction”, “business combination” or similar Law shall become applicable to the transactions contemplated hereby, then the Company and the Board of Directors of the Company shall use their respective reasonable best efforts to grant such approvals and take such actions as

-36-

are necessary so that the transactions contemplated hereby may be consummated as promptly as practicable on the terms contemplated hereby and otherwise act to minimize the effects of any such statute or similar Law on the transactions contemplated hereby.

Section 5.10. Notification of Certain Matters. Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts to give prompt written notice to the Company, and the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to give prompt written notice to Parent, of: (a) any representation or warranty made by such party in this Agreement that is inaccurate in any material respect as of the date of this Agreement (or any representation or warranty made by such party in this Agreement that is qualified by materiality or refers to Material Adverse Effect that is inaccurate in any respect as of the date of this Agreement), the occurrence or non-occurrence of any event of which the Company is aware that would be reasonably likely to cause the condition precedent in Section 6.2(a) not to be satisfied or the occurrence or non-occurrence of any event of which Parent is aware that would be reasonably likely to cause the condition precedent in Section 6.3(a) not to be satisfied; or (b) any failure in any material respect of such party to comply in a timely manner with or satisfy any covenant or agreement to be complied with or satisfied by it under this Agreement; provided, however, that the delivery of any notice pursuant to this Section 5.10 shall not limit or otherwise affect the remedies available under this Agreement to the party receiving such notice; and provided further that no party shall have the right not to close the Merger or the right to terminate this Agreement as a result of the delivery of such a notice if the underlying breach would not result in such party having such rights under the terms of Articles 6 and 7 hereof.

Section 5.11. Certain Litigation. The Company shall give Parent the opportunity to participate in the defense or settlement of any litigation against the Company or its officers or directors relating to the transactions contemplated hereby. The Company shall not agree to any compromise or settlement of such litigation without Parent’s consent.

Section 5.12. Confidentiality. Each of the Company and Parent acknowledges and confirms that (a) the Company and Parent have entered into a Confidentiality Agreement, dated November 15, 2006 (the “Confidentiality Agreement”), (b) all information provided by each party hereto to the other party hereto pursuant to this Agreement is subject to the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement and (c) the Confidentiality Agreement shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with its terms and conditions.

Section 5.13. Resignations. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall cause each member of the Board of Directors of the Company to execute and deliver a letter, which shall not be revoked or amended prior to the Effective Time, effectuating his or her resignation as a director of the Company effective immediately prior to the Effective Time. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall obtain the resignations of such directors of its Subsidiaries as Parent shall request with reasonable advance notice.

Section 5.14. Financing. During the period commencing on the date of this Agreement and continuing until the Effective Time, the Company shall provide, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to provide, all cooperation reasonably requested by Parent in connection with the arrangement of the Financing (or any replacements thereof), including: (a) participation in due diligence sessions, meetings, drafting sessions, management presentation sessions, “road

-37-

shows”, and sessions with rating agencies by the Company’s officers and employees; (b) assisting Parent in obtaining any title insurance lien waivers, estoppels, affidavits, non-disturbance agreements, memoranda of leases, legal opinions, surveys or other documents or deliveries; and (c) using commercially reasonable efforts to prepare business projections, financial statements, pro forma statements and other financial data of the type and form consistently included in offering memoranda, private placement memoranda, prospectuses and similar documents, all as may be reasonably requested by Parent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the Company and its Subsidiaries shall not be required to execute any agreements prior to the Closing unless such agreements shall only be effective upon the Closing, (ii) counsel for the Company shall not be required to deliver any legal opinions, (iii) none of the Company or its Subsidiaries shall be required to pay any commitment or other similar fee or incur any other liability in connection with any debt financing by Parent prior to the Closing and (iv) all obligations in this Section 5.14 shall be subject to applicable laws relating to exchange of information and attorney-client communication and privileges.

Section 5.15. Employee Matters.

(a) Parent agrees that, until the end of any applicable plan year in which the Closing Date occurs, non-union employees of the Company who continue their employment with the Surviving Corporation or other Affiliate of Parent (the “Continuing Employees”) shall, at the sole discretion of Parent, either continue to be eligible to participate in Employee Benefit Plans (other than equity award plans and any unwritten severance policies or agreements), with such changes to any such Employee Benefit Plan as Parent in its sole discretion may determine, provided that following any such change the benefits under any such Employee Benefit Plan shall be the same benefits provided under a Parent Plan, or alternatively shall be eligible to participate, in the same manner as similarly situated employees employed by Parent or its Affiliates, in corresponding employee benefit plans sponsored or maintained by Parent or its Affiliates, as applicable (the “Parent Plans”), it being understood and agreed that Parent may make the foregoing determination in its sole discretion and on a plan-by-plan basis.

(b) For purposes of vesting and eligibility but not for purposes of benefit accrual (other than determining the amount of vacation and severance benefits) under each Parent Plan in which Continuing Employees become eligible to participate after the Closing Date, such participating Continuing Employee will be credited with his or her years of service with the Company and its Subsidiaries (and their respective predecessors) to the same extent as such Continuing Employee was entitled, before the Closing Date, to credit for such service under any similar Employee Benefit Plan, except to the extent such credit would result in a duplication of benefits or is prohibited under applicable Law. With respect to Parent Plans that are welfare plans (the “Parent Welfare Plans”) in which Continuing Employees participate after the Closing Date, Parent shall, except to the extent prohibited under applicable law, (1) waive all limitations under such plans as to preexisting conditions and exclusions with respect to participation and coverage requirements applicable to such employees to the extent such conditions and exclusions were satisfied or did not apply to such employees under Employee Benefit Plans prior to the Closing Date, and (2) provide each Continuing Employee who participates in such Parent Welfare Plans with credit for any co-payments and deductibles paid prior to the Closing Date and during the plan year of the Parent Welfare Plan in which the Closing Date occurs in satisfying any analogous deductible or out-of-pocket requirements to the extent applicable under any such plan.

-38-

(c) Nothing contained herein, express or implied: (i) shall be construed to establish, amend or modify any benefit plan, program, agreement or arrangement; (ii) shall alter or limit the ability of the Company, its Subsidiaries, Parent, the Surviving Corporation, or any of their respective Affiliates to amend, modify or terminate any benefit plan, program, agreement or arrangement at any time assumed, established, sponsored or maintained by any of them; (iii) is intended to confer upon any current or former employee any right to employment or continued employment for any period of time by reason of this Agreement, or any right to a particular term or condition of employment; or (iv) is intended to confer upon any Person (including employees, retirees, or dependents or beneficiaries of employees or retirees) any right as a third-party beneficiary of this Agreement.
