The Merger will be effected pursuant to the Certificate of Merger in accordance with the provisions of, and with the effect provided in, Section 251 of the DGCL.

2.1 Effects of the Merger.

(a) At the Effective Time, the effect of the Merger shall be as provided in the applicable provisions of the DGCL. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and subject thereto, at the Effective Time, except as provided herein, all the property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of the Company and Merger Sub shall vest in the Surviving Company, and all debts, liabilities and duties of the Company and Merger Sub shall become the debts, liabilities and duties of the Surviving Company.

(b) Parent, the Company and Merger Sub, respectively, shall each use its best efforts to take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the Merger in accordance with the DGCL at the Effective Time. If at any time after the Effective Time, any further action is necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement and to vest the Surviving Company with full right, title and possession to all properties, rights, privileges, immunities, powers and franchises of either the Company or Merger Sub, the officers of the Surviving Company are fully authorized in the name of Parent, the Company and Merger Sub or otherwise to take, and shall take, all such lawful and necessary action.

(c) Subject to the provisions of Article VII and Article VIII hereof, the closing (the “Closing”) of the transactions contemplated hereby shall take place on or before August 30, 2013 (the “Closing Date”), at the offices of Mintz, Levin, Cohn, Ferris, Glovsky and Popeo, P.C., ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ or such other time and place as the Company and Parent mutually agree at the earliest practicable time after the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions in Article VII, but in no event later than ten (10) business days after all such conditions have been satisfied or waived, or on such other date as may be mutually agreed upon by the parties hereto. On the Closing Date, or as soon thereafter as practicable, to effect the Merger, the parties hereto will cause the Certificate of Merger to be filed with the Secretary of

State of the State of Delaware in accordance with the DGCL. The Merger shall be effective when the filing of the Certificate of Merger is accepted by the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (the “Effective Time”). As used herein, the term “Effective Date” shall mean the date on which the Effective Time occurs.

2.2 Effect on Company Capital Stock and Merger Sub Capital Stock.

(a) Capital Stock. To effectuate the Merger, and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, at the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Parent, the Company, Merger Sub or the holders of any of the following securities, the following shall occur:

(i) Company Capital Stock. Each share of Company Capital Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than shares cancelled and extinguished pursuant to this Section 2.2 and Dissenting Shares) shall automatically be converted into and exchangeable for 0.5 fully paid and nonassessable shares of Parent Common Stock. If any shares of Company Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time are unvested or are subject to a repurchase option, risk of forfeiture or other condition under any applicable restricted stock purchase agreement or other agreement with the Company, then the shares of Parent Common Stock issued in exchange for such shares of Company Common Stock will also be unvested and/or subject to the same repurchase option, risk of forfeiture or other condition, and the certificates representing such shares of Parent Common Stock may accordingly be marked with appropriate legends;

(ii) Company Treasury Shares. All shares of Company Capital Stock held at the Effective Time by the Company as treasury stock, if any, will be cancelled and extinguished and no payment will be made with respect to those shares;

(iii) Company Capital Stock Owned by Merger Sub or Parent. Each share of Company Capital Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and owned by Merger Sub or Parent, if any, will be cancelled and extinguished without any conversion thereof and no payment shall be made with respect thereto; and

(iv) Merger Sub Common Stock. All shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be converted into and become one validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock of the Surviving Company.

(b) Stock Options. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Parent or the Company, the Company’s 2003 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended (the “2003 Plan”), and all options to purchase Company Common Stock then outstanding thereunder, shall be assumed by Parent and each such option shall become exercisable for shares of Parent Common Stock in accordance with Section 6.13(a) hereof.

(c) Warrants. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any further action on the part of Parent or the Company, all warrants to purchase Company Common Stock then outstanding shall be assumed by Parent and shall become exercisable for shares of Parent Common Stock in accordance with Section 6.13(b) hereof.

(d) Adjustments to Merger Consideration. The Merger Consideration shall be adjusted to reflect appropriately the effect of any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend (including any dividend or distribution of securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Parent Common Stock or Company Common Stock), reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, combination, exchange of shares or other like change with respect to Parent Common Stock or Company Common Stock occurring or having a record date on or after the date hereof and prior to the Effective Time.

(e) Fractional Shares. No fraction of a share of Parent Common Stock will be issued by virtue of the Merger, and no certificates or scrip for any fractional shares shall be issued. Any holder of Company Capital Stock who would otherwise be entitled to receive a fraction of a share of Parent Common Stock (after aggregating all fractional shares of Parent Common Stock issuable to such holder) shall, in lieu thereof, receive one whole share of Parent Common Stock.

2.3 Rights of Holders of Certificates Evidencing Company Capital Stock. On and after the Effective Time and until surrendered for exchange, each outstanding stock certificate that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented shares of Company Capital Stock (except Dissenting Shares and shares cancelled or extinguished pursuant to Section 2.2) shall be deemed for all purposes, to evidence ownership of and to represent the number of whole shares of Parent Common Stock into which such shares of Company Capital Stock shall have been converted pursuant to Section 2.2 above. The record holder of each such outstanding certificate representing shares of Company Capital Stock, shall, after the Effective Time, be entitled to vote the shares of Parent Common Stock into which such shares of Company Capital Stock shall have been converted on any matters on which the holders of record of Parent Common Stock, as of any date subsequent to the Effective Time, shall be entitled to vote. In any matters relating to such certificates of Company Capital Stock, Parent may rely conclusively upon the record of stockholders maintained by the Company containing the names and addresses of the holders of record of Company Capital Stock at the Effective Time.

2.4 Procedure for Exchange of Company Capital Stock.

(a) After the Effective Time, holders of certificates theretofore evidencing outstanding shares of Company Capital Stock (except Dissenting Shares and shares cancelled or extinguished pursuant to Section 2.2), upon surrender of such certificates to the Secretary of Parent, shall be entitled to receive certificates representing the number of shares of Parent Common Stock into which shares of Company Capital Stock theretofore represented by the certificates so surrendered are exchangeable as provided in Section 2.2 hereof. Parent shall not be obligated to deliver any such shares of Parent Common Stock to which any former holder of shares of Company Capital Stock is entitled until such holder surrenders the certificate or certificates representing such shares. Upon surrender, each certificate evidencing Company Capital Stock shall be cancelled. If there is a transfer of Company Capital Stock ownership which is not registered in the transfer records of the Company, a certificate representing the proper number of shares of Parent Common Stock may be issued to a person other than the person in whose name the certificate so surrendered is registered if: (x) upon presentation to the Secretary of Parent, such certificate shall be properly endorsed or otherwise be in proper form for transfer, (y) the person requesting such payment shall pay any transfer or other Taxes required by

reason of the issuance of shares of Parent Common Stock 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, and (z) the issuance of such Parent Common Stock shall not, in the sole discretion of Parent, violate the requirements of the Regulation D “safe harbor” of the Securities Act with respect to the private placement of Parent Common Stock that will result from the Merger.

(b) All shares of Parent Common Stock issued upon the surrender for exchange of Company Capital Stock, in accordance with the above terms and conditions shall be deemed to have been issued and paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such shares of Company Capital Stock.

(c) Any shares of Parent Common Stock issued in the Merger will not be transferable except (1) pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or (2) upon receipt by Parent of a written opinion of counsel for the holder reasonably satisfactory to Parent to the effect that the proposed transfer is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. Restrictive legends shall be placed on all certificates representing shares of Parent Common Stock, issued in the Merger, substantially as follows:

NO TRANSFER, SALE, ASSIGNMENT, PLEDGE, HYPOTHECATION OR OTHER DISPOSITION OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE MAY BE MADE EXCEPT (A) PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, AND THE RULES AND REGULATIONS IN EFFECT THEREUNDER AND ALL APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES OR “BLUE SKY” LAWS (SUCH FEDERAL AND STATE LAWS, THE “SECURITIES LAWS”) OR (B) IF THE CORPORATION HAS BEEN FURNISHED WITH AN OPINION OF COUNSEL FOR THE HOLDER, WHICH OPINION AND COUNSEL SHALL BE REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE CORPORATION, TO THE EFFECT THAT SUCH TRANSFER, SALE, ASSIGNMENT, PLEDGE, HYPOTHECATION OR OTHER DISPOSITION IS EXEMPT FROM THE PROVISIONS OF THE SECURITIES LAWS.

(d) In the event any certificate for Company Capital Stock or any certificate or similar instrument evidencing any other security of the Company shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, Parent shall issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, promptly following its receipt of an affidavit of that fact by the holder thereof, such shares of Parent Common Stock, as may be required pursuant to this Agreement; provided, however, that Parent, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the issuance thereof, may require the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed certificate to deliver a bond in such sum as it may direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against Parent or any other party with respect to the certificate alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.

2.5 Dissenting Shares. Shares of Company Capital Stock held by stockholders of the Company who have properly exercised and preserved appraisal rights with respect to those shares in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL (“Dissenting Shares”) shall not be converted into or represent a right to receive shares of Parent Common Stock, pursuant to Section 2.2

above, but the holders thereof shall be entitled only to such rights as are granted by Section 262 of the DGCL. Each holder of Dissenting Shares who becomes entitled to payment for such shares pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL shall receive payment therefor from the Surviving Company in accordance with such laws; provided, however, that if any such holder of Dissenting Shares shall have effectively withdrawn such holder’s demand for appraisal of such shares or lost such holder’s right to appraisal and payment of such shares under Section 262 of the DGCL, such holder or holders (as the case may be) shall forfeit the right to appraisal of such shares and each such share shall thereupon be deemed to have been cancelled, extinguished and exchanged, as of the Effective Time, into and represent the right to receive from Parent shares of Parent Common Stock, as provided in Section 2.2 above. Any payments in respect of Dissenting Shares will be deemed made by the Surviving Company.

2.6 Certificates of Incorporation; Bylaws.

(a) The certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Company shall be amended and restated as of the Effective Time to be identical to the certificate of incorporation of Merger Sub as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, until thereafter amended as provided by the DGCL and such certificate of incorporation

(b) The bylaws of Merger Sub as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the bylaws of the Surviving Company at and after the Effective Time, until thereafter amended in accordance with the DGCL and the terms of certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Company and such bylaws.

2.7 Directors and Officers of the Surviving Corporation. From and after the Effective Time, the directors and officers of the Surviving Company shall be the persons who were directors and officers of the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time, respectively. These directors and officers of the Surviving Company shall hold office for the term specified in, and subject to the provisions contained in, the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Surviving Company and applicable law.

2.8 Directors and Officers of Parent.

(a) At or prior to the Closing, the Board of Directors of Parent shall, subject to compliance with Section 14(f) of the Exchange Act and Rule 14f-1 promulgated thereunder, take the following action, to be effective upon the Effective Time: (i) elect to the Board of Directors of Parent the persons who were directors of the Company immediately prior to the Closing; and (ii) appoint as the officers of Parent those persons who were the officers of the Company immediately prior to the Closing, or, in either case with regard to clauses (i) and (ii), such other persons designated by the Company. Except as set forth in Section 2.8(b), all of the persons serving as directors of Parent immediately prior to the Closing shall resign immediately following the election of the new directors, and all of the persons serving as officers of Parent immediately prior to the Closing shall resign immediately following the appointment of the new officers, all subject to compliance with Rule 14f-1 promulgated under the Exchange Act. Subject to applicable law, Parent has taken or shall take all action reasonably requested by the Company, but consistent with the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of Parent, that is reasonably necessary to effect any such election or appointment of the designees of the Company

to Parent’s Board of Directors, including mailing to Parent’s stockholders an information statement containing the information required by Section 14(f) of the Exchange Act and Rule 14f-1 promulgated thereunder. The Company has supplied Parent all information with respect to it and its nominees, officers, directors and Affiliates required by such Section 14(f) and Rule 14f-1.

(b) In the event that the Board of Directors of Parent cannot be reconstituted at the Effective Time as set forth in Section 2.8(a) due to compliance with the time period set forth in Rule 14f-1 promulgated under the Exchange Act, then (i) at or prior to the Closing, the Board of Directors of Parent shall elect ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Mates to the Board of Directors of Parent, effective upon the Effective Time, (ii) all of the persons serving as directors of Parent immediately prior to the Closing, other than ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇, shall resign immediately following the election of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Mates, and (iii) ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇ shall have executed and delivered to the Company a written resignation from the Board of Directors of Parent effective immediately after the period set forth in Rule 14f-1 promulgated under the Exchange Act shall have expired.

(c) The provisions of this Section 2.8 are in addition to and shall not limit any rights which the Company or any of its Affiliates may have as a holder or beneficial owner of shares of capital stock of Parent as a matter of law with respect to the election of directors or otherwise. Immediately after the Effective Time, the newly constituted board of directors of Parent will appoint the officers of the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time as the officers of Parent. The newly-appointed directors and officers of Parent shall hold office for the term specified in, and subject to the provisions contained in, the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of Parent and applicable law.

In addition, each party and its Representatives shall cooperate fully (including providing introductions, where necessary) with such other party to enable the party to contact third parties, including customers, prospective customers, specified agencies or others as the party deems reasonably necessary to complete its due diligence; provided that such party agrees not to initiate such contacts without the prior approval of the other party, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld.

Each agrees not to disclose or allow disclosure to others of any Evaluation Material, except to such party’s Affiliates or Representatives, in each case, to the extent necessary to permit such Affiliate or Representative to assist such party in connection with the Merger and the transactions contemplated hereunder. Each agrees that it will, within ten (10) days of the other party’s request, re-deliver to such party all copies of that party’s Evaluation Material in its possession or that of its Affiliates or Representatives if the Merger does not close as contemplated herein.

unsolicited proposal from an unrelated party if the Board of Directors of Parent determines, in good faith, after consultation with counsel, that the failure to engage in such discussions and provide such non-public information (subject to obtaining confidentiality agreements) may constitute a breach of the fiduciary or legal obligations of the Board of Directors of Parent. Parent will promptly advise the Company if it receives a proposal or inquiry with respect to the matters described above.

(b) Unless and until this Agreement shall have been terminated pursuant to Section 8.1, neither the Company nor its officers, directors or agents shall, directly or indirectly, encourage, solicit or initiate discussions or negotiations with, or engage in negotiations or discussions with, or provide non-public information to, any Person or group of Persons concerning any merger, sale of common stock (other than the Private Placement), sale of substantial assets or other business combination; provided, however, that the Company may engage in such discussion in response to any unsolicited proposal from an unrelated party if the Board of Directors of the Company determines, in good faith, after consultation with counsel, that the failure to engage in such discussions and provide such non-public information (subject to obtaining confidentiality agreements) may constitute a breach of the fiduciary or legal obligations of the Board of Directors of the Company.

(a) At the Effective Time, the 2003 Plan and each outstanding option to purchase shares of Company Common Stock (each, a “Company Stock Option”) thereunder or otherwise, whether or not vested, shall, by virtue of the Merger, be assumed by Parent. Each Company Stock Option so assumed by Parent under this Agreement will continue to have, and be subject to, the same terms and conditions of such options immediately prior to the Effective

No vesting periods for any Warrants will accelerate as a result of the transaction contemplated hereby.
