ARTICLE I

The Offer

Section 1.01 The Offer.

(a) Commencement of the Offer. As promptly as reasonably practicable (and, in any event, within ten (10) Business Days) after the date of this Agreement, Sub shall, and Parent shall cause Sub to, commence (within the meaning of Rule 14d-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (together with the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, the “Exchange Act”)) the Offer to purchase all of the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock at a price per share equal to the Offer Price (as adjusted as provided in Section 1.01(c), if applicable).

-2-

(b) Terms and Conditions of the Offer. The obligations of Sub to, and of Parent to cause Sub to, accept for payment, and pay for, any shares of Company Common Stock tendered pursuant to the Offer are subject to the conditions set forth in Annex I (the “Offer Conditions”). The Offer Conditions are for the sole benefit of Parent and Sub, and Parent and Sub may waive, in whole or in part, any Offer Condition at any time and from time to time, in their sole discretion, other than the Minimum Tender Condition or the D&O Tail Condition, which may be waived by Parent and Sub only with the prior written consent of the Company. Parent and Sub expressly reserve the right to increase the Offer Price or to waive or make any other changes in the terms and conditions of the Offer; provided, however, that unless otherwise provided in this Agreement or previously approved by the Company in writing, Sub shall not, and Parent shall not permit Sub to (i) reduce the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to the Offer, (ii) subject to Section 1.01(c), reduce the Offer Price, (iii) change, modify or waive the Minimum Tender Condition or the D&O Tail Condition, (iv) add to the conditions set forth in Annex I or modify or change any Offer Condition in a manner adverse to any stockholder of the Company, (v) except as otherwise provided in this Section 1.01, extend or otherwise change the expiration date of the Offer, (vi) change the form of consideration payable in the Offer, or (vii) otherwise amend, modify or supplement any of the terms of the Offer in a manner adverse to any stockholders of the Company.

(c) Adjustments to Offer Price. The Offer Price 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), cash dividend, reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, combination, exchange of shares or other like change with respect to Company Common Stock occurring on or after the date hereof and prior to Sub’s acceptance for payment of, and payment for, Company Common Stock tendered in the Offer, and such adjustment to the Offer Price shall provide to the holders of Company Common Stock the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such action; provided that (x) nothing in this Section 1.01(c) shall be construed to permit the Company to take any action with respect to its securities that is prohibited by the terms of this Agreement and (y) in no event shall any adjustment be made to the Offer Price with respect to any change during such period that results from any exercise of any Company Stock Options, Warrants, and/or Restricted Stock Units and/or the issuance of any shares of Company Common Stock with respect to any of the foregoing.

(d) Expiration and Extension of the Offer. The Offer shall initially be scheduled to expire at midnight, New York City time, on the last Business Day of the 20 Business Day period beginning on the date of the commencement of the Offer (determined using Rule 14d-1(g)(3) under the Exchange Act) (such date being the “Initial Offer Expiration Time”). In the event the Initial Offer Expiration Time has been extended pursuant to this Agreement, such later date and time to which the Initial Offer Expiration Time has been extended pursuant to this Agreement shall be referred to herein as the “Expiration Time”. If on the then-scheduled Expiration Time, any of the Offer Conditions shall not be satisfied or, in Sub’s sole discretion, waived, then in its sole discretion, Sub may extend the Offer for one or more periods of not more than ten (10) Business Days each (or such greater number of Business Days as the Parties may agree) as Sub so determines (but not beyond the Outside Date). In addition, if the Offer is required to be extended by any rule, regulation, interpretation or position of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) applicable to the Offer, then Sub shall, and

-3-

Parent shall cause Sub to, extend the Offer for the minimum period required by such Law, rule, regulation, interpretation or position. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in no event shall Sub be required to extend the Offer (A) beyond March 10, 2015 (the “Outside Date”) or (B) at any time that Parent or Sub is permitted to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Article IX.

(e) Payment. On the terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer and this Agreement, Sub shall, and Parent shall cause Sub to, (i) accept for payment all shares of Company Common Stock validly tendered and not validly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer, and (ii) following such acceptance, and as soon as practicable on the Business Day that immediately follows the Expiration Time, pay for all such shares of Company Common Stock. The time at which sufficient funds for payment of the shares of Company Common Stock accepted for payment pursuant to and subject to the conditions of the Offer are deposited with the Paying Agent is referred to in this Agreement as the “Offer Closing”, and the date on which the Offer Closing occurs is referred to in this Agreement as the “Offer Closing Date”. Parent shall provide, or cause to be provided to Sub, on a timely basis, all of the funds necessary to purchase any shares of Company Common Stock that Sub becomes obligated to purchase pursuant to the Offer.

(f) Termination of the Offer. The Offer may not be terminated prior to the then-scheduled Expiration Time unless this Agreement is validly terminated in accordance with Section 9.01. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 9.01, then Sub shall promptly (and, in any event, within two (2) Business Days of such termination), irrevocably and unconditionally terminate the Offer. If the Offer is terminated or withdrawn by Sub, or this Agreement is terminated in accordance with Section 9.01, Sub shall promptly return, and shall cause any depository acting on behalf of Sub to return, all tendered shares of Company Common Stock to the registered holders thereof to the extent required by the terms of the Offer.

(g) Offer Documents. On the date of commencement of the Offer, Parent and Sub shall file with the SEC, in accordance with Rule 14d-3 under the Exchange Act, a Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO with respect to the Offer (together with all amendments and supplements thereto, and including all exhibits thereto, the “Schedule TO”), which shall include, as exhibits, an offer to purchase and a related letter of transmittal, a summary advertisement and other ancillary Offer documents pursuant to which the Offer will be made (such Schedule TO and the documents attached as exhibits thereto, together with any supplements or amendments thereto, the “Offer Documents”) and promptly thereafter shall mail the Offer Documents to the holders of the Company Common Stock as required by applicable Law. The Company shall promptly furnish to Parent and Sub all information concerning the Company that may be required by applicable securities laws or reasonably requested by Parent or Sub for inclusion in the Offer Documents. Except as expressly contemplated by Section 6.02(d), the Company hereby consents to the inclusion in the Offer Documents of the Recommendation. Each of Parent, Sub and the Company shall promptly correct any information provided by it for use in the Offer Documents if and to the extent that such information shall have become false or misleading in any material respect. Parent and Sub shall take all steps necessary to cause the Offer Documents, as so corrected, to be filed with the SEC and the other Offer Documents, as so corrected, to be disseminated to the holders of Company Common Stock, in each case as and to

-4-

the extent required by applicable federal securities Laws. Parent and Sub shall promptly (and in any event within 24 hours) notify the Company upon the receipt of any comments from the SEC or the staff of the SEC or any request from the SEC or the staff of the SEC for amendments or supplements to the Offer Documents, and shall promptly (and in any event within 24 hours) provide the Company with copies of all correspondence between Parent, Sub and their respective Representatives, on the one hand, and the SEC or the staff of the SEC, on the other hand. Parent and Sub shall use commercially reasonable efforts to respond as promptly as reasonably practicable to any comments of the SEC or the staff of the SEC with respect to the Offer Documents. Prior to the filing of the Offer Documents (or any amendment or supplement thereto) or the dissemination thereof to the holders of Company Common Stock, or responding to any comments of the SEC or the staff of the SEC with respect thereto, Parent and Sub shall provide the Company and its counsel a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such Offer Documents or response, and Parent and Merger Sub shall give reasonable consideration to any such comments.

Section 1.02 Company Actions.

On (or within one Business Day after) the date on which the initial Offer Documents are filed with the SEC, the Company shall, in a manner that complies with Rule 14d-9 promulgated under the Exchange Act, file with the SEC a Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9 with respect to the Offer (such Schedule 14D-9, together with any supplements or amendments thereto, the “Schedule 14D-9”), which, except as expressly contemplated by Section 6.02(d), shall include the Recommendation, and promptly thereafter shall mail the Schedule 14D-9 to the holders of the Company Common Stock. The Company shall also include in the Schedule 14D-9 the Fairness Opinion. The Company and Parent shall cooperate to cause the Schedule 14D-9 to be mailed or otherwise disseminated to the holders of Company Common Stock together with the Offer Documents disseminated to the holders of Company Common Stock. Parent and Sub shall promptly furnish to the Company in writing all information concerning Parent and Sub that may be required by applicable securities laws or otherwise reasonably requested by the Company for inclusion in the Schedule 14D-9. Each of Parent, Sub and the Company shall promptly correct any information provided by it for use in the Schedule 14D-9 if and to the extent that such information shall have become false or misleading in any material respect.

The Company shall promptly notify Parent and Sub upon the receipt of any comments from the SEC or the staff of the SEC or any request from the SEC or the staff of the SEC for amendments or supplements to the Schedule 14D-9, and shall provide Parent and Sub with copies of all correspondence between the Company and its Representatives, on the one hand, and the SEC or the staff of the SEC, on the other hand. The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to respond as promptly as reasonably practicable to any comments of the SEC or the staff of the SEC with respect to the Schedule 14D-9. Prior to the filing of the Schedule 14D-9 (or any amendment or supplement thereto) or the dissemination thereof to the holders of Company Common Stock, or responding to any comments of the SEC or the staff of the SEC with respect thereto, the Company shall provide Parent and Sub and their respective counsel a reasonable opportunity to review and

Subject to the requirements of applicable Law, and except for such actions as are necessary to disseminate the Offer Documents and any other documents necessary to consummate the Transactions, Parent and Sub shall keep confidential and not disclose such information, including the information contained in any such labels, lists, listings and files, in each case as required by the Confidentiality Agreement, shall use such information only in connection with the Offer and the Merger and, if this Agreement shall be terminated, shall, upon request, deliver to the Company or destroy all copies of such information then in their possession or control in accordance with the Confidentiality Agreement.

The date and time at which the Merger becomes effective is referred to in this Agreement as the “Effective Time”.

-6-

Section 2.05 Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws. At the Effective Time, the Company Certificate of Incorporation as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be amended so as to read in its entirety as set forth in Exhibit A attached hereto and, as so amended, shall be the certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation, until thereafter changed or amended as provided therein or by applicable Law. The Company shall take such actions as are necessary so that, at the Effective Time, the By-Laws of Sub as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be by-laws of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter changed or amended as provided therein or by applicable Law.

Section 2.06 Directors.

ARTICLE III

Effect of the Merger on the Capital Stock of the Constituent Corporations

Section 3.01 Effect on Capital Stock. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder of any share of Company Common Stock or any share of capital stock of Parent or Sub:

(a) Capital Stock of Sub. Each share of capital stock of Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and become one validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Surviving Corporation.

-7-

(b) Cancellation of Treasury Stock and Parent-Owned Stock. Each share of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time that is held by the Company as treasury stock, or held by Parent or any of its wholly-owned Subsidiaries at such time (including Sub), shall automatically be canceled and shall cease to exist, and no consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor.

(c) Conversion of Company Common Stock. Subject to Section 3.02, each share of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (excluding shares to be canceled in accordance with Section 3.01(b) and excluding Appraisal Shares) shall automatically be converted into the right to receive the Offer Price in cash, without interest (the “Merger Consideration”), and all such shares of Company Common Stock shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and shall cease to exist, and each certificate representing a share (a “Certificate”) or non-certificated share represented by book-entry (“Book-Entry Shares”) that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented any such shares of Company Common Stock (excluding shares to be cancelled in accordance with Section 3.01(b) and excluding Appraisal Shares) shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the Merger Consideration with respect thereto.

Section 3.02 Adjustment to Merger Consideration. Without limiting the other provisions of this Agreement but without duplication of the provisions of Section 1.01(c), if at any time during the period between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time, if there shall be any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend (including any dividend or distribution of securities convertible into Company Common Stock), cash dividend, reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, combination, exchange of shares or other like change with respect to Company Common Stock occurring on or after the date hereof and prior to the Effective Time, the Merger Consideration as provided in Section 3.01(c) shall be equitably adjusted by Parent to reflect the effect thereof, and such adjustment to the Merger Consideration shall provide to the holders of Company Common Stock the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such action; provided that nothing in this Section 3.02 shall be construed to permit the Company to take any action with respect to its securities that is prohibited by the terms of this Agreement.

Section 3.03 Exchange Fund.

(a) Paying Agent. Prior to the initial acceptance for payment by Sub of shares of Company Common Stock pursuant to the Offer (the “Acceptance Time”), Parent shall appoint a bank or trust company reasonably acceptable to the Company to act as paying agent (the “Paying Agent”) for the holders of shares of Company Common Stock to receive the funds to which such holders shall become entitled pursuant to this Agreement and, in connection therewith, shall enter into an agreement with the Paying Agent in the form reasonably acceptable to the Company. Without limiting the generality of the last sentence of Section 1.01(e), as soon as practicable on the Business Day that immediately follows the date on which the Offer expires and following the Acceptance Time, Parent shall deposit with the Paying Agent cash in an amount sufficient to pay the Aggregate Offer Price and the Aggregate Common Stock Consideration (such cash being hereinafter referred to as the “Exchange Fund”). “Aggregate Offer Price” means the product of the Offer Price multiplied by the number of shares of Company Common Stock that Sub becomes obligated to purchase pursuant to the Offer.

-8-

“Aggregate Common Stock Consideration” means the product of the Merger Consideration and the number of Shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (excluding shares to be cancelled in accordance with Section 3.01(b) and excluding Appraisal Shares). The Exchange Fund shall be for the benefit of the holders of shares of Company Common Stock that Sub becomes obligated to purchase pursuant to the Offer and for the benefit of the holders of shares of Company Common Stock that are entitled to receive the Merger Consideration per share. For purposes of determining the aggregate amount to be so deposited, Parent shall assume that no stockholder of the Company shall perfect any right to appraisal of his, her or its shares of Company Common Stock. Funds made available to the Paying Agent shall be invested by the Paying Agent, as directed by Parent, in short term obligations of, or short term obligations fully guaranteed as to principal and interest by, the United States of America with maturities of no more than thirty (30) days or in commercial paper obligations rated A-1 or P1 or better by Xxxxx’x Investor Services, Inc. or Standard & Poor’s Corporation, pending payment thereof by the Paying Agent to the holders of Shares pursuant to Section 1.01 or this Article III or; provided, that no investment of such deposited funds shall relieve Parent, the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent from promptly making the payments required by Section 1.01 or this Article III, and following any losses from any such investment, Parent shall promptly provide additional funds to the Paying Agent, for the benefit of the holders of shares of Company Common Stock, in the amount of such losses, which additional funds will be held and disbursed in the same manner as funds initially deposited with the Paying Agent to make the payments contemplated by Section 1.01 and this Article III. In the event that the Exchange Fund shall be insufficient to make the payments contemplated in Section 1.02 and this Article III, Parent shall promptly deposit, or cause to be deposited, additional funds with the Paying Agent in an amount sufficient to make such payments. Any interest or income produced by such investments will be payable to Sub or Parent, as Parent directs. Parent shall direct the Paying Agent to hold the Exchange Fund for the benefit of the former holders of shares of Company Common Stock and to make payments from the Exchange Fund in accordance with Section 1.01 and Section 3.03(b). The Exchange Fund shall not be used for any purpose other than to fund payments pursuant to Section 1.01 or Section 3.03(b), except as expressly provided for in this Agreement.

(b) Certificate Exchange Procedures; Appraisal Rights. As promptly as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time, but in no event more than two (2) Business Days following the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Paying Agent to mail to each holder of record of a Certificate or Book-Entry Shares, in each case whose shares of Company Common Stock were converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration at the Effective Time pursuant to this Agreement: (i) 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 proper delivery of the Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu thereof in accordance with Section 3.03(f)) to the Paying Agent and which shall otherwise be in customary form (including customary provisions with respect to delivery of an “agent’s message” with respect to Book-Entry Shares)), (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates or Book-Entry Shares in exchange for the Merger Consideration per share, (iii) a notice of available appraisal rights in accordance with the provisions of Section 262 of the DGCL, and (iv) a form of written waiver of such appraisal rights. Each holder of record of a Certificate or Book-Entry Shares shall, upon surrender to the Paying Agent of such Certificate (or affidavit of loss in lieu thereof in accordance with Section 3.03(f)), together with a letter of transmittal with respect to such Certificate or Book-Entry

-9-

Shares, duly executed, and such other documents as may reasonably be required by the Paying Agent, be entitled to receive in exchange therefor the portion of the Aggregate Common Stock Consideration into which the number of shares of Company Common Stock previously represented by such Certificate or such Book-Entry Shares shall have been converted into the right to receive pursuant to Section 3.01(c), and the Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be canceled. In the event of a transfer of ownership of Company Common Stock which is not registered in the transfer records of the Company, payment of the Merger Consideration per share may be made to a Person other than the Person in whose name the Certificate so surrendered is registered if such Certificate shall be properly endorsed or otherwise be in proper form for transfer and the Person requesting such payment shall pay any transfer or other similar taxes required by reason of the payment of the Merger Consideration and any such dividends to a Person other than the registered holder of such Certificate or establish to the reasonable satisfaction of Parent that such tax has been paid or is not applicable. Payment of the Merger Consideration per share with respect to Book-Entry Shares shall only be made to the Person in whose name such Book-Entry Shares are registered. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 3.03(b), each Certificate shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive upon such surrender the Merger Consideration per share which the holder thereof has the right to receive in respect of such Certificate or Book-Entry Shares pursuant to this Article III. No interest shall be paid or will accrue on any cash payable to holders of Certificates pursuant to the provisions of this Article III. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, shares of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time that are held by any holder who is entitled to demand and properly demands appraisal of such shares pursuant to, and who complies in all respects with, the provisions of Section 262 of the DGCL (the “Appraisal Shares”) shall not be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration as provided in Section 3.01(c), but instead such holder of Appraisal Shares shall be entitled to payment of the fair value of such Appraisal Shares in accordance with the provisions of Section 262 of the DGCL. At the Effective Time, the Appraisal Shares shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and shall cease to exist, and each holder of Appraisal Shares shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the fair value of such Appraisal Shares in accordance with the provisions of Section 262 of the DGCL. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any such holder shall fail to perfect or otherwise shall waive, withdraw or lose the right to appraisal under Section 262 of the DGCL or a court of competent jurisdiction shall determine that such holder is not entitled to the relief provided by Section 262 of the DGCL, then the right of such holder to be paid the fair value of such holder’s Appraisal Shares under Section 262 of the DGCL shall cease and each such Appraisal Share shall be deemed to have been converted at the Effective Time into, and shall have become, the right to receive the Merger Consideration as provided in Section 3.01(c), without any interest thereon. The Company shall give prompt notice to Parent of any demands for appraisal of any shares of Company Common Stock or written threats thereof received by the Company prior to the Effective Time, and Parent shall have the right to participate in and direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demands. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall not, without the prior written consent of Parent, voluntarily make any payment with respect to, or settle or offer to settle, any such demands for appraisal, or agree to do or commit to do any of the foregoing.

(c) No Further Ownership Rights in Company Common Stock. All cash paid upon the surrender of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares in accordance with the terms of this

-10-

Article III shall be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to the shares of Company Common Stock formerly represented by such Certificates or Book-Entry Shares. At the close of business on the day on which the Effective Time occurs, the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed, and there shall be no further registration of transfers on the stock transfer books of the Surviving Corporation of the shares of Company Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, any Certificate is presented to the Surviving Corporation for transfer, it shall be canceled against delivery of cash to the holder thereof as provided in this Article III.

(d) Termination of the Exchange Fund. Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains undistributed to the holders of the Certificates for twelve (12) months after the Effective Time shall be delivered to the Surviving Corporation, upon demand, and any holders of the Certificates who have not theretofore complied with this Article III shall thereafter look only to the Surviving Corporation for, and the Surviving Corporation shall remain liable for, payment of their claims for the Merger Consideration per share pursuant to the provisions of this Article III.

(e) No Liability. None of Parent, Sub, the Company, the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent shall be liable to any Person in respect of any cash from the Exchange Fund delivered to a public official in compliance with any applicable state, federal or other abandoned property, escheat or similar Law. If any Certificate shall not have been surrendered prior to the date on which the related Merger Consideration would escheat to or become the property of any Governmental Authority, any such Merger Consideration shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, immediately prior to such time become the property of the Surviving Corporation, free and clear of all claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.

(f) Lost Certificates. If any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, 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 Parent, the posting by such Person of a bond in such reasonable amount as Parent 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 per share.

(g) Withholding Rights. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Parent, Sub, the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the Offer Price, Merger Consideration, and any amounts otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement (and/or the Offer) to any holder of shares of Company Common Stock, as applicable, such amounts as Parent, Sub, the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), or any provision of applicable tax Law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld and paid over to the appropriate taxing authority by Parent, Sub, the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of the shares of Company Common Stock, as the case may be, in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made by Parent, Sub, the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent.

-46-

(i) provide information in response to a request therefor to a Person who has made an unsolicited bona fide written Acquisition Proposal after the date of this Agreement, and to its Representatives, if and only if, prior to providing such information, the Company has received from the Person so requesting such information an executed Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement, provided that the Company shall, as promptly as reasonably practicable, make available to Parent any information concerning the Company and the Company Subsidiaries that is provided to any Person making such Acquisition Proposal that is given such access and that was not previously made available to Parent or the Parent Representatives;

(ii) cause or permit the Company or any Company Subsidiary to enter into any acquisition agreement, merger agreement or similar definitive Contract with

-47-

respect to an Acquisition Proposal (other than any Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement entered into in accordance with Section 6.02(b)) (an “Alternative Acquisition Agreement”).

(i) if the Company has received a bona fide written Acquisition Proposal (which Acquisition Proposal did not arise out of any breach of this Section 6.02) from any Person that has not been withdrawn and that the Company Board (or any authorized committee thereof) concludes in good faith constitutes a Superior Proposal, (x) the Company Board (or any authorized committee thereof) may effect a Company Adverse Recommendation Change with respect to such Superior Proposal, or (y) the Company may terminate this Agreement to enter into an Alternative Acquisition Agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal, if and only if:

(D) prior to effecting such Company Adverse Recommendation Change or termination, the Company shall, and shall cause its financial and legal advisors to, during the Notice Period, negotiate with Parent and the Parent Representatives in good faith (to the extent Parent desires to negotiate) to make such adjustments in the terms and conditions of this Agreement, so that such Acquisition Proposal ceases to constitute a Superior Proposal; provided that, in the event of any material revisions to the Acquisition Proposal that the Company Board (or any authorized committee thereof) has determined to be a Superior Proposal, the Company shall be required to deliver a new Determination Notice to Parent and to comply with the requirements of this Section 6.02 (including Section 6.02(d)) with respect to such new Determination Notice and the revised

-48-

Superior Proposal contemplated thereby (except that any reference to four (4) Business Days shall instead be three (3) Business Days); and

(E) in the case of any action contemplated by clause (y) of this Section 6.02(d)(i), the Company shall concurrently terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 9.01(f), including the payment of a portion of the Company Termination Fee in accordance with Section 9.03(b).

(f) The Company agrees that it shall promptly (and, in any event, within one (1) Business Day of the Company’s knowledge of any such event) notify Parent if (x) any proposals or offers with respect to an Acquisition Proposal are received by, (y) in connection with any inquiry, proposal or offer that could reasonably be expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal, any non-public information is requested from or (z) any discussions or negotiations are sought to be initiated or continued in connection with the submission of an Acquisition Proposal with, the Company, any Company Subsidiary or any Company Representative indicating, in connection with such notice, the identity of the Person or group of Persons making such offer or proposal and the material terms and conditions of any proposals or offers (including, if applicable, copies of any written requests, proposals or offers, including proposed agreements) and thereafter shall keep Parent reasonably informed, on a prompt basis, of any material developments or modifications to the terms of any such proposals or offers and the status of any such material discussions or negotiations. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company shall provide to Parent, as soon as reasonably practicable after receipt or delivery thereof, copies of all draft material transaction agreements (and any other written material to the extent such material contains any financial terms, conditions or other material terms relating to any Acquisition Proposal) sent by or provided to the Company, any Company Subsidiary or any Company Representative in connection with any Acquisition Proposal.

(g) Prior to the termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, no Company Adverse Recommendation Change shall change the approval of the Company Board for purposes of causing any Takeover Laws to be inapplicable to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(h) The Company agrees that in any event any Company Subsidiary or Company Representative takes any action which, if taken by the Company, would constitute a breach of this Section 6.02, the Company shall be deemed to be in breach of this Section 6.02.

ARTICLE VII

Additional Agreements

The Company shall afford to Parent, and to Parent’s officers, employees, accountants, counsel, consultants, financial advisors and other Representatives, reasonable access during normal business hours during the period prior to the earlier of the Effective Time and the termination of this Agreement to all of its and its Subsidiaries’ properties, books and records and to those officers, employees, financing sources, consultants and other authorized representatives (including independent public accountants and attorneys) of the Company and/or any of the Company Subsidiaries to whom Parent reasonably requests access, and, during such period, the Company shall furnish to Parent, as promptly as reasonably practicable, all information concerning its and its Subsidiaries’ business, properties and personnel as Parent may reasonably request. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall be required to provide access to or disclose information, including, in each case, for the avoidance of any doubt, such access and provision of information contemplated in the previous sentence, where the Company reasonably determines that such access or disclosure would (i) conflict with or violate any Law (including antitrust Laws), or (ii) result in the loss of attorney-client privilege, attorney work product privilege or similar privilege (it being agreed that the Company shall give notice to Parent of the fact that it is withholding such information or documents and thereafter the Company and Parent shall use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to cause such information to be provided in a manner that would not reasonably be expected to cause such a conflict or violation). No investigation or access permitted or contemplated pursuant to this Section 7.01 shall affect or be deemed to modify any representation or warranty made by the Company hereunder.

-50-

efforts to: (i) take all acts necessary to cause (A) in the case of the Company, the Offer Conditions and the conditions to the Merger Closing set forth in Section 8.01 to be satisfied, or (B) in the case of Parent and Sub, the conditions to the Merger Closing set forth in Section 8.01 to be satisfied, in each case, as promptly as reasonably practicable; (ii) obtain all necessary consents, approvals, orders, waivers and authorizations of, actions or nonactions by, any Governmental Authority or any third party and make all necessary registrations, declarations and filings with, and notices to, any Governmental Authorities and take all reasonable steps as may be necessary to avoid a suit, action, proceeding or investigation by, any Governmental Authority; (iii) execute and deliver any additional instruments reasonably necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; (iv) in the case of the Company, vigorously defend or contest any Transaction Litigation; and (v) in the case of Parent and Sub, subject to the further provisions of this Section 7.02, shall reasonably cooperate with the Company’s defense of any Transaction Litigation. “Transaction Litigation” means any litigation commenced or Threatened against the Company or any of its Affiliates or the directors and officers of the Company that (x) relates to, arises out of or involves this Agreement, the Offer, the Merger or any of the other transactions contemplated hereby or (y) that would otherwise prevent or materially impede, interfere with, hinder or delay the consummation of the Offer, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and in the case of each of clauses (x) and (y) above, expressly excluding any claims by a current or former holder of shares of Company Common Stock to exercise appraisal rights under Delaware law. “Threatened” when used in relation to a litigation, means that (i) a demand or statement (oral or written) has been made or a notice (oral or written) has been given that a litigation is to be asserted, commenced, taken or otherwise pursued in the future, or (ii) a written demand for relief (monetary or non monetary) has been made which if not met could result in the commencement of litigation.

(b) Subject to applicable Laws and the instructions of any Governmental Authority, the Company and Parent each shall keep the other apprised of the status of matters relating to the completion of the transactions contemplated hereby, including promptly furnishing the other with copies of notices or other communications received by Parent or any of its Representatives, or the Company or any of its Representatives, as the case may be, from any third party and/or any Governmental Authority with respect to the Offer, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(c) Each Party shall keep the other Parties reasonably informed, but only to the extent that doing so would not, in the reasonable judgment of such Party, jeopardize any privilege of the Party with respect thereto regarding any such Transaction Litigation; it being agreed that each Party will also cooperate with the other Parties to permit such inspection of or to disclose such information on a basis that does not compromise or waive such privilege with respect thereto. The Company shall promptly advise Parent orally and in writing and the Company shall cooperate fully with Parent in connection with, and shall consult with and permit Parent and its Representatives to participate in, the defense, negotiations or settlement of any Transaction Litigation and the Company shall give prompt and reasonable consideration to Parent’s advice with respect to such Transaction Litigation. The Company shall not, and shall not permit any Company Subsidiary nor any of its or their respective Representatives to, compromise, settle, or come to a settlement arrangement regarding any Transaction Litigation or consent thereto without the prior written consent of Parent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed solely to the extent that the only liability (monetary or

-51-

otherwise) of the Company and its Subsidiaries with respect to such settlement arrangement are to pay the Company’s or any of its Subsidiary’s portion of any applicable retention or deductible amount under the insurance policies of the Company and its Subsidiaries in force as of the date of this Agreement.

If any Takeover Law becomes or is deemed to be applicable to the Company, Parent or Sub, the Agreement, the Offer, or the Merger, including the acquisition of shares of Company Common Stock pursuant thereto, or any other transaction contemplated by this Agreement, then the Company and the Company Board, as applicable, shall take all action necessary to ensure that the Offer, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby may be consummated as promptly as practicable on the terms contemplated herein and otherwise act to eliminate, or if not possible minimize to the maximum extent possible, the effects of such Takeover Law on this Agreement, the Offer, the Merger, and the other transactions contemplated hereby.

ANNEX I

Conditions to the Offer

Notwithstanding any other term of the Offer or the Agreement, Sub shall not be required to, and Parent shall not be required to cause Sub to, accept for payment or, subject to any applicable rules and regulations of the SEC, including Rule 14e-1(c) under the Exchange Act (relating to Sub’s obligation to pay for or return tendered shares of Company Common Stock promptly after the termination or withdrawal of the Offer), pay for any shares of Company Common Stock tendered pursuant to the Offer if:

(a) there shall not have been validly tendered and not validly withdrawn prior to the expiration of the Offer a number of shares of Company Common Stock that, when added to (without duplication of shares) the number of shares of Company Common Stock owned by Parent and its Subsidiaries as of immediately prior to the expiration of the Offer (and after the consummation of the Exchange Agreement Transactions), represent at least one more share than 90% (without duplication) of (x) the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock as of immediately prior to the expiration of the Offer (and after the consummation of the Exchange Agreement Transactions), plus (y) the aggregate number of shares of Company Common Stock issuable to holders of Company Equity Awards from which the Company or its Representatives have received notices of exercise prior to the expiration of the Offer (and as to which shares of Company Common Stock have not yet been issued to such exercising holders of Company Equity Awards) (the foregoing (a)(1) and (a)(2), collectively, the “Minimum Tender Condition”, and such number of shares equal to the sum of the shares described in the preceding clauses (x) through (y), the “Fully Diluted Share Number”);

(b) any required consents under the Xxxxx Fargo Credit Agreement shall not have been obtained and/or shall not be in full force and effect;

(c) the Exchange Agreement Transactions shall not have occurred and/or the Exchange Agreement shall not be in full force and effect (the “Exchange Agreement Condition”); or

(d) any of the following conditions shall have occurred and be continuing as of the expiration of the Offer:

(i) there shall be any Restraint in effect enjoining or otherwise preventing or prohibiting the making of the Offer or the consummation of the Merger or the Offer;

(ii) any of the representations and warranties of the Company:

(A) set forth in Section 4.04 (Authority; Recommendation), Section 4.09(i) (Absence of Certain Changes or Events), Section 4.10(e) and (i) (Employee Benefit Plans); Section 4.21 (State Takeover Statutes), Section 4.22 (Fairness Opinion) or Section 4.23 (Brokers and Other Advisors) shall not be true and correct in all material respects as of the date of the Agreement and as of the expiration of the Offer as though made as of the expiration of the Offer;

Annex I-1

(B) set forth in Section 4.03 (Capitalization) shall not be true and correct in all respects as of the date of the Agreement and as of the expiration of the Offer as though made as of the expiration of the Offer, other than inaccuracies which would result in less than $50,000 of additional Merger Consideration in the aggregate and excluding capitalization inaccuracies with respect to Company directors and officers, the Xxxxxxxxxx Funds and stockholders that enter into Support Agreements;

(C) set forth in the Agreement, other than those described in clauses (A) and (B) above, shall not be true and correct (disregarding all qualifications or limitations as to “materiality,” “Material Adverse Effect” and words of similar import set forth therein), except, in the case of this clause (C), where the failure of such representations and warranties to be so true and correct would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect; and

except, in each case in clauses (A)-(C) above, to the extent such representations and warranties are made as of a specific date (in which case such representations and warranties shall not be true and correct (subject to such qualifications) as of such specific date only);

(iii) the Company shall have failed to perform or comply in all material respects with its obligations required to be performed or complied with by it under the Agreement;

(iv) since the date of the Agreement, there shall have occurred any Company Material Adverse Effect;

(v) all Company Restructuring Actions shall not have been completed in Parent’s reasonable judgment;

(vi) the D&O Tail Policy shall not have been obtained (the “D&O Tail Condition”);

(vii) if any Eligible D&O Litigation shall have been commenced and shall not have been dismissed prior to the expiration of the Offer, then (x) the Company shall have notified all of its applicable carriers of director and officer insurance of the commencement of such Eligible D&O Litigation and (y) on or before the expiration of the Offer the primary carrier for the Company’s director and officer insurance shall have denied coverage of the claims in any Eligible D&O Litigation. The term “Eligible D&O Litigation” means that portion of (and only that portion of) the Transaction Litigation commenced prior to the expiration of the Offer in which claims are asserted by Persons (other than by Parent, Sub, Sponsor or any of their respective Affiliates) for monetary relief against the Company’s directors or officers (in their capacities as such), to the extent that such claims do not fall within the exclusions under, or exceed the

Annex I-2

monetary limits for, the primary director and officer liability insurance policy maintained by the Company; or

(viii) the Agreement shall have been terminated in accordance with its terms.

At the request of Parent, the Company shall deliver to Parent a certificate executed on behalf of the Company by the chief executive officer or the chief financial officer of the Company certifying that none of the conditions set forth in clauses (d)(ii), (d)(iii), or (d)(iv) above shall have occurred and be continuing as of the expiration of the Offer.

For purposes of determining whether the Minimum Tender Condition has been satisfied, Parent and Sub shall include for purposes of its determination thereof shares tendered in the Offer pursuant to guaranteed delivery procedures.

The foregoing conditions shall be in addition to, and not a limitation of, the rights and obligations of Parent and Sub to extend, terminate or modify the Offer pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Agreement.

The foregoing conditions are for the sole benefit of Parent and Sub and, subject to the terms and conditions of the Agreement and the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC, may be waived by Parent and Sub in whole or in part at any time and from time to time in their sole discretion (other than the Minimum Tender Condition). The failure by Parent or Sub at any time to exercise any of the foregoing rights shall not be deemed a waiver of any such right and each such right shall be deemed an ongoing right that may be asserted at any time and from time to time.

The capitalized terms used in this Annex I and not defined in this Annex I shall have the meanings set forth in the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of October 10, 2014, by and among Dialogic Group Inc., Dialogic Merger Inc., and Dialogic Inc. (the “Agreement”).

Annex I-3

ANNEX II

Principal Terms of Break Fee Note

Principal Amount; Interest. The principal amount of the Break Fee Note shall equal the aggregate amount of the Company Termination Fee, minus any portion of the Company Termination Fee paid to Sponsor (or other designee of Parent) prior to issuance of the Break Fee Note. The Break Note will not bear interest other than default interest described below in clause 3.

Quarterly Amortization. Principal shall be payable in six (6) equal installments, commencing on the date that is three (3) months following the issuance of the Break Fee Note, and continuing on the same day of each calendar quarter thereafter until paid in full on the date that is eighteen months after the issuance date of the Break Fee Note (the “Due Date”). All payments shall be applied first to accrued interest or other charges due hereunder and the balance, if any, to principal. In any event, the entire principal balance of the Break Fee Note, together with any accrued interest and other charges as are due hereunder, shall be paid on the Due Date.

Default Interest Charges. If any payment under the Break Fee Note is not paid when due, whether on a stated due date or upon acceleration, then default interest equal to prime plus two percent (2%) shall accrue on the outstanding balance of the Break Fee Note, compounded quarterly, until the unpaid principal amount due, together with all accrued interest, shall be paid in full.

Acceleration. The entire principal balance of the Break Fee Note, together with any accrued interest and other charges that are due, shall become immediately due and payable prior to the Due Date upon (i) any Acquisition Proposal is consummated (regardless of when made) or (ii) any event occurs that gives the lenders under the Existing Credit Agreements the right to accelerate the payment obligations of the Company thereunder.

Priority. The Break Fee Note will be senior in all respects (including the right of payment) to the Term Loans and all other Indebtedness of the Company, now existing or hereafter incurred; provided, however, that the Break Fee Note will be subordinate to any Indebtedness outstanding under the Xxxxx Fargo Credit Agreement.
