Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any payment owed to a holder of Company Options and Company Restricted Shares pursuant to Section 2.8(a) or Section 2.8(b), as applicable, cannot be made through the Surviving Corporation’s payroll system or payroll provider, then the Surviving Corporation will issue a check for such payment to such holder, which check will be sent by overnight courier to such holder promptly following the Closing Date (but in no event later than the first payroll date that is at least 7 Business Days after the Closing Date).

To the extent that (A) there are any losses with respect to any investments of the Exchange Fund; (B) the Exchange Fund diminishes for any reason below the level required for the Payment Agent to promptly pay the cash amounts contemplated by Section 2.7; or (C) all or any portion of the Exchange Fund is unavailable for Parent (or the Payment Agent on behalf of Parent) to promptly pay the cash amounts contemplated by Section 2.7 for any reason, Parent will, or will cause the Surviving Corporation to, promptly replace or restore the amount of cash in the Exchange Fund so as to ensure that the Exchange Fund is at all times fully available for distribution and maintained at a level sufficient for the Payment Agent to make the payments contemplated by Section 2.7. Any income from investment of the Exchange Fund will be payable to Parent or the Surviving Corporation, as Parent directs.

(c) Payment Procedures. Promptly following the Effective Time (and in any event within three Business Days), Parent and the Surviving Corporation will cause the Payment Agent to mail to each holder of record (as of immediately prior to the Effective Time) of (i) a certificate or certificates that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding shares of Company Capital Stock (other than Dissenting Company Shares and Owned Company Shares) (the “Certificates”); and (ii) uncertificated shares of Company Capital Stock that represented outstanding shares of Company Capital Stock (other than Dissenting Company Shares and Owned Company Shares) (the “Uncertificated Shares”) (A) a letter of transmittal in customary form and reasonably acceptable to each of the Company and Parent prior to the Effective Time (which will specify that delivery will be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates will pass, only upon delivery of the Certificates to the Payment Agent, or, in the case of Uncertificated Shares, upon adherence to the procedures set forth in such letter of transmittal); and (B) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates and Uncertificated Shares in exchange for the applicable Per Share Price payable in respect thereof pursuant to Section 2.7. Upon surrender of Certificates for cancellation to the Payment Agent, together with such letter of transmittal, duly completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto, the holders of such Certificates will be entitled to receive in exchange therefor an amount in cash equal to the product obtained by multiplying (x) the aggregate number of shares of Company Capital Stock represented by such Certificate; by (y) the applicable Per Share Price payable in respect thereof pursuant to Section 2.7 (less any applicable withholding Taxes payable in respect thereof), and the Certificates so surrendered will forthwith be cancelled. Upon receipt of an “agent’s message” by the Payment Agent (or such other evidence, if any, of transfer as the Payment Agent may reasonably request) in the case of a book-entry transfer of Uncertificated Shares, the holders of such Uncertificated Shares will be entitled to receive in exchange therefor an amount in cash equal to the product obtained by multiplying (1) the aggregate number of shares of Company Capital Stock represented by such holder’s transferred Uncertificated Shares; by (2) the applicable Per Share Price payable in respect thereof pursuant to Section 2.7 (less any applicable withholding Taxes payable in respect thereof), and the transferred Uncertificated Shares so surrendered will be cancelled. The Payment Agent will accept such Certificates and transferred Uncertificated Shares upon compliance with such reasonable terms and conditions as the Payment Agent may impose to cause an orderly exchange thereof in accordance with normal exchange practices. No interest will be paid or accrued for the benefit of holders of the Certificates and Uncertificated Shares on the applicable Per Share Price payable upon the surrender of such Certificates and Uncertificated Shares pursuant to this Section 2.9(c). Until so surrendered, outstanding Certificates and Uncertificated Shares will be deemed from and after the Effective Time to evidence only the right to receive the applicable Per Share Price, without interest thereon, payable in respect thereof pursuant to Section 2.7. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no holder of Uncertificated Shares will be required to provide a Certificate or an executed letter of transmittal to the Payment Agent in order to receive the payment that such holder is entitled to receive pursuant to Section 2.7.

-19-

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

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

(f) Distribution of Exchange Fund to Parent. Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains undistributed to the holders of the Certificates or Uncertificated Shares on the date that is one year after the Effective Time will be delivered to Parent upon demand, and any holders of shares of Company Common Stock that were issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Merger who have not previously surrendered or transferred their Certificates or Uncertificated Shares representing such shares of Company Common Stock for exchange pursuant to this Section 2.9 will thereafter look for payment of the applicable Per Share Price payable in respect of the shares of Company Common Stock represented by such Certificates or Uncertificated Shares solely to Parent (subject to abandoned property, escheat or similar laws), for any claim to the applicable Per Share Price to which such holders may be entitled pursuant to Section 2.7. Any amounts remaining unclaimed by holders of any such Certificates or Uncertificated Shares at such date as is immediately prior to the time at which such amounts would otherwise escheat to, or become property of, any Governmental Authority, will, to the extent permitted by applicable law, become the property of the Surviving Corporation free and clear of any claims or interest of any such holders (and their successors, assigns or personal representatives) previously entitled thereto.

-20-

2.10 Treatment of Company Warrants. The Company shall cause all outstanding Company Warrants to cease to represent, as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, a right to acquire shares of Company Common Stock and to then be converted, in settlement and cancellation thereof, into the right to receive, at the Effective Time, cash in an amount equal to (i) the excess, if any, of (A) the Common Per Share Price over (B) the exercise price per share of the Company Common Stock subject to such Company Warrant, multiplied by (ii) the number of shares of Company Common Stock for which such Company Warrant shall not previously have been exercised (it being understood that each unexercised Company Warrant as of the Effective Time with an exercise price equal to or greater than the Common Per Share Price shall be cancelled at the Effective Time without consideration therefor). As soon as practicable following the Effective Time (but in any event not later than five Business Days thereafter), the Surviving Corporation shall pay to each holder of Company Warrants the cash payments to which such holder is entitled pursuant to this Section 2.10 (subject to any required tax withholdings).

2.11 Payment of Company Series B Preferred Stock and Company Series C Preferred Stock Dividends.

(a) Prior to Closing, Parent shall deposit (or cause to be deposited) with the Payment Agent, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, $2,081,979.97 (the “Dividend Amount”), which equals the aggregate amount of accrued and unpaid dividends with respect to the Company Series B Preferred Stock and Company Series C Preferred Stock, to be paid to the prior holders of record of such Company Series B Preferred Stock and Company Series C Preferred Stock entitled to receipt of such dividends (the “Dividend Payees”). Until disbursed in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, such cash will be invested by the Payment Agent, as directed by Parent or the Surviving Corporation, in (i) obligations of or fully guaranteed by the United States or any agency or instrumentality thereof and backed by the full faith and credit of the United States with a maturity of no more than 30 days; (ii) commercial paper obligations rated A-1 or P-1 or better by Xxxxx’x Investors Service, Inc. or Standard & Poor’s Corporation, respectively; or (iii) certificates of deposit, bank repurchase agreements or banker’s acceptances of commercial banks with capital exceeding $1,000,000,000 (based on the most recent financial statements of such bank that are then publicly available) (such cash and any proceeds thereon, the “Dividend Fund”). Any income from investment of the Dividend Fund will be payable to Parent or the Surviving Corporation, as Parent directs. Subject to Section 2.11(c), the Dividend Fund shall be the sole recourse with respect to the accrued and unpaid dividends of the Company Series B Preferred Stock and Company Series C Preferred Stock, and the Dividend Payees shall look solely to the Dividend Fund for payment of such accrued and unpaid dividends or any claims related thereto.

(b) Promptly following the Effective Time (and in any event within three Business Days), Parent and the Surviving Corporation will cause the Payment Agent to mail to each Dividend Payee a letter of acceptance, requiring acknowledgement that, upon receipt of payment, the Surviving Corporation will have no further obligations with respect to such dividends. Upon delivery of such letter of acceptance, duly completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto, such Dividend Payee will be entitled to receive an amount in cash equal to the accrued and unpaid dividends owing to such Dividend Payee.

(c) Any portion of the Dividend Fund that remains undistributed to the Dividend Payees on the date that is one year after the Effective Time will be delivered to Parent upon demand, and any Dividend Payees will thereafter look solely to Parent for payment of the accrued and unpaid dividends owing to such Dividend Payee or for any claims related thereto, provided that in no event shall the liability of the Parent and the Surviving Corporation with respect to the accrued and unpaid dividends of the Company Series B Preferred Stock and Company Series C Preferred Stock exceed (i) the Dividend Amount minus (ii) any amounts paid to Dividend Payees pursuant to Section 2.11(b).

-21-

2.12 No Further Ownership Rights in Company Common Stock. From and after the Effective Time, (a) all shares of Company Capital Stock will no longer be outstanding and will automatically be cancelled, retired and cease to exist; and (b) each holder of a Certificate or Uncertificated Shares previously representing any shares of Company Capital Stock will cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the applicable Per Share Price payable therefor in accordance with Section 2.7, or in the case of Dissenting Company Shares, the rights pursuant to Section 2.7(c). The applicable Per Share Price paid in accordance with the terms of this Article II will be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such shares of Company Capital Stock. From and after the Effective Time, there will be no further registration of transfers on the records of the Surviving Corporation of shares of Company Capital Stock that were issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, other than transfers to reflect, in accordance with customary settlement procedures, trades effected prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates or Uncertificated Shares are presented to the Surviving Corporation for any reason, they will (subject to compliance with the exchange procedures of Section 2.9(c)) be cancelled and exchanged as provided in this Article II.

2.13 Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. In the event that any Certificates have been lost, stolen or destroyed, the Payment Agent will issue in exchange therefor, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the holder thereof, the applicable Per Share Price payable in respect thereof pursuant to Section 2.7. Parent or the Payment Agent may, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the payment of such applicable Per Share Price, require the owners of such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificates to deliver a bond in such amount as it may direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against Parent, the Surviving Corporation or the Payment Agent with respect to the Certificates alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.

2.14 Required Withholding. Each of the Payment Agent, Parent, the Company and the Surviving Corporation will be entitled to deduct and withhold from any cash amounts payable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as are required to be deducted or withheld therefrom pursuant to any Tax laws. To the extent that such amounts are so deducted or withheld and paid over to the appropriate Governmental Authority, such amounts will be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person to whom such amounts would otherwise have been paid.

2.15 No Dividends or Distributions. No dividends or other distributions with respect to capital stock of the Surviving Corporation with a record date on or after the Effective Time will be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Certificates or Uncertificated Shares.

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

6.10 Directors’ and Officers’ Exculpation, Indemnification and Insurance.

(a) Indemnified Persons. The Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries will (and Parent will cause the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries to) honor and fulfill, in all respects, the obligations of the Company Group pursuant to (i) the indemnification, exculpation and advancement of expenses provisions set forth in the Charter, the Bylaws and the other similar organizational documents of the Subsidiaries of the Company, as applicable, and (ii) any indemnification agreements between a member of the Company Group and any of its current or former directors or officers (and any person who becomes a director or officer of a member of the Company Group prior to the Effective Time) (collectively, the “Indemnified Persons”) or employees, in each case, for any acts or omissions by such Indemnified Persons or employees occurring prior to the Effective Time. In addition, during the period commencing at the Effective Time and ending on the sixth anniversary of the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries will (and Parent will cause the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries to) cause the certificates of incorporation, bylaws and other similar organizational documents of the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries to contain provisions with respect to indemnification, exculpation and the advancement of expenses that are at least as favorable as the indemnification, exculpation and advancement of expenses provisions set forth in the Charter, the Bylaws and the other similar organizational documents of the Subsidiaries of the Company, as applicable, as of the date hereof. During such six-year period, such provisions may not be repealed, amended or otherwise modified in any manner except as required by applicable law.

-59-

(b) Indemnification Obligation. Without limiting the generality of the provisions of Section 6.10(a), during the period commencing at the Effective Time and ending on the sixth anniversary of the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation will (and Parent will cause the Surviving Corporation to) indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law or pursuant to any indemnification agreements with the Company and any of its Subsidiaries in effect on the date hereof, each Indemnified Person from and against any costs, fees and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and investigation expenses), judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages, liabilities and amounts paid in settlement or compromise in connection with any Legal Proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, to the extent that such Legal Proceeding arises, directly or indirectly, out of or pertains, directly or indirectly, to (i) any action or omission, or alleged action or omission, in such Indemnified Person’s capacity as a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company Group or its Affiliates to the extent that such action or omission, or alleged action or omission, occurred prior to or at the Effective Time; and (ii) the Merger, as well as any actions taken by the Company, Parent or Merger Sub with respect thereto (including any disposition of assets of the Surviving Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries that is alleged to have rendered the Surviving Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries insolvent), except that if, at any time prior to the sixth anniversary of the Effective Time, any Indemnified Person delivers to Parent a written notice asserting a claim for indemnification pursuant to this Section 6.10(b), then the claim asserted in such notice will survive the sixth anniversary of the Effective Time until such claim is fully and finally resolved. In the event of any such Legal Proceeding, (A) the Surviving Corporation will have the right to control the defense thereof after the Effective Time (it being understood that, by electing to control the defense thereof, the Surviving Corporation will be deemed to have waived any right to object to the Indemnified Person’s entitlement to indemnification hereunder with respect thereto); (B) each Indemnified Person will be entitled to retain his or her own counsel, whether or not the Surviving Corporation elects to control the defense of any such Legal Proceeding; (C) the Surviving Corporation will advance all fees and expenses (including fees and expenses of any counsel) as incurred by an Indemnified Person in the defense of such Legal Proceeding, whether or not the Surviving Corporation elects to control the defense of any such Legal Proceeding; and (D) no Indemnified Person will be liable for any settlement of such Legal Proceeding effected without his or her prior written consent (unless such settlement relates only to monetary damages for which the Surviving Corporation is entirely responsible). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, none of Parent, the Surviving Corporation nor any of their respective Affiliates will settle or otherwise compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to, or otherwise seek the termination of, any Legal Proceeding for which indemnification may be sought by an Indemnified Person pursuant to this Agreement unless such settlement, compromise, consent or termination includes an unconditional release of all Indemnified Persons from all liability arising out of such Legal Proceeding. Any determination required to be made with respect to whether the conduct of any Indemnified Person complies or complied with any applicable standard will be made by independent legal counsel selected by the Surviving Corporation (which counsel will be reasonably acceptable to such Indemnified Person), the fees and expenses of which will be paid by the Surviving Corporation.

(c) D&O Insurance. During the period commencing at the Effective Time and ending on the sixth anniversary of the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation will (and Parent will cause the Surviving Corporation to) maintain in effect the Company’s current directors’ and officers’ liability insurance (“D&O Insurance”) in respect of acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Effective Time (including in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) on terms (including with respect to coverage, conditions, retentions, limits and amounts) that are equivalent to those of the D&O Insurance. In satisfying its obligations pursuant to this Section 6.10(c), the Surviving Corporation will not be obligated to pay annual premiums in excess of 300% of the amount paid by the Company for coverage for its last full fiscal year (such 300% amount, the “Maximum Annual Premium”). If the annual premiums of such insurance coverage exceed the Maximum Annual Premium, then the Surviving Corporation will be obligated to obtain a policy with the greatest coverage available for a cost not exceeding the Maximum Annual Premium from an insurance carrier with the same or better credit rating as the Company’s current directors’ and officers’ liability insurance carrier. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company may purchase a prepaid “tail” policy with respect to the D&O Insurance from an insurance carrier with the same or better credit rating as the Company’s current directors’ and officers’ liability insurance carrier so long as the annual cost for such “tail” policy does not exceed the Maximum Annual Premium. If the Company elects to purchase such a “tail” policy prior to the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation will (and Parent will cause the Surviving Corporation to) maintain such “tail” policy in full force and effect and continue to honor its obligations thereunder for so long as such “tail” policy is in full force and effect.

(d) Successors and Assigns. If Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective successors or assigns will (i) consolidate with or merge into any other Person and not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity in such consolidation or merger; or (ii) transfer all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then proper provisions will be made so that the successors and assigns of Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective successors or assigns will assume all of the obligations of Parent and the Surviving Corporation set forth in this Section 6.10.

-60-

(e) No Impairment. The obligations of Parent, Merger Sub and the Surviving Corporation under this Section 6.10 shall survive the consummation of the Merger, and the obligations set forth in this Section 6.10 may not be terminated, amended or otherwise modified in any manner that adversely affects any Indemnified Person (or any other person who is a beneficiary pursuant to the D&O Insurance or the “tail” policy referred to in Section 6.10(c) (and their heirs and representatives)) without the prior written consent of such affected Indemnified Person or other person. Each of the Indemnified Persons or other persons who are beneficiaries pursuant to the D&O Insurance or the “tail” policy referred to in Section 6.10(c) (and their heirs and representatives) are intended to be third party beneficiaries of this Section 6.10, with full rights of enforcement as if such person were a Party. The rights of the Indemnified Persons (and other persons who are beneficiaries pursuant to the D&O Insurance or the “tail” policy referred to in Section 6.10(c) (and their heirs and representatives)) pursuant to this Section 6.10 will be in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other rights that such persons may have pursuant to (i) the Charter and Bylaws; (ii) the similar organizational documents of the Subsidiaries of the Company; (iii) any and all indemnification agreements entered into with the Company Group; or (iv) applicable law (whether at law or in equity).

(f) Joint and Several Obligations. The obligations of the Surviving Corporation, Parent and their respective Subsidiaries pursuant to this Section 6.10 will be joint and several.

(g) Other Claims. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to, or will be construed to, release, waive or impair any rights to directors’ and officers’ insurance claims pursuant to any applicable insurance policy or indemnification agreement that is or has been in existence with respect to the Company Group for any of its directors, officers or other employees, it being understood and agreed that the indemnification provided for in this Section 6.10 is not prior to or in substitution for any such claims pursuant to such policies or agreements.

6.11 Employee Matters.

(a) Employment; Benefits. From and after the Effective Time until December 31, 2019, the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries will (and Parent will cause the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries to) provide base salary/wages and employee benefits (other than equity, equity-based, deferred compensation, severance, retention or change in control benefits) to each Continuing Employee that are substantially comparable in the aggregate to the base salary/wages and employee benefits (other than equity, equity-based, deferred compensation, severance, retention or change in control benefits) provided to such Continuing Employee immediately prior to the Effective Time (“Comparable Plans”).

(b) New Plans. To the extent that a Company Plan or Comparable Plan is made available to any Continuing Employee at or after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries will (and Parent will cause the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries to) cause to be granted to such Continuing Employee credit for all service with the Company Group prior to the Effective Time for purposes of eligibility to participate, vesting and entitlement to benefits where length of service is relevant (including for purposes of vacation accrual and severance pay entitlement), except that such service need not be credited to the extent that it would result in duplication of coverage or benefits. In addition, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (i) each Continuing Employee will be immediately eligible to participate, without any waiting period, in any and all employee benefit plans sponsored by the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries (other than the Company Plans) (such plans, the “New Plans”) to the extent that coverage pursuant to any such New Plan replaces coverage pursuant to a comparable Company Plan in which such Continuing Employee participates immediately before the Effective Time (such plans, the “Old Plans”); (ii) for purposes of each New Plan providing medical, dental, pharmaceutical, vision or disability benefits to any Continuing Employee, the Surviving Corporation will cause all waiting periods, pre-existing condition exclusions, evidence of insurability requirements and actively-at-work or similar requirements of such New Plan to be waived for such Continuing Employee and his or her covered dependents, and the Surviving Corporation will cause any eligible expenses incurred by such Continuing Employee and his or her covered dependents during the portion of the plan year of the Old Plan ending on the date that such Continuing Employee’s participation in the corresponding New Plan begins to be given full credit pursuant to such New Plan for purposes of satisfying all deductible, coinsurance, co-pay, offsets and maximum out-of-pocket requirements applicable to such Continuing Employee and his or her covered dependents for the applicable plan year as if such amounts had been paid in accordance with such New Plan; and (iii) credit the accounts of such Continuing Employees pursuant to any New Plan that is a flexible spending plan with any unused balance in the account of such Continuing Employee. Any vacation or paid time off accrued but unused by a Continuing Employee as of immediately prior to the Effective Time will be credited to such Continuing Employee following the Effective Time, and will not be subject to accrual limits or other forfeiture and will not limit future accruals (except to the extent that such limits or forfeitures applied under the Company Plans in effect as of the date hereof).

-61-

(c) 401(k) Termination. At the written request of Parent provided no later than five days prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall, at least one day prior to the Closing Date, adopt or cause to be adopted written resolutions (or take other necessary and appropriate action) to terminate the Company’s 401(k) plan and to fully vest all participants under such 401(k) plan, such termination and vesting to be effective no later than the day preceding the Closing Date; provided, however, that termination of such 401(k) plan may be made contingent upon the Closing. The Company shall provide Parent with an advance copy of such proposed resolutions (and any related documents) and a reasonable opportunity to comment thereon prior to adoption or execution.

(d) No Third Party Beneficiary Rights.

8.2 Manner and Notice of Termination; Effect of Termination.

(a) Manner of Termination. The Party terminating this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1 (other than pursuant to Section 8.1(a)) must deliver prompt written notice thereof to the other Parties setting forth in reasonable detail the provision of Section 8.1 pursuant to which this Agreement is being terminated and the facts and circumstances forming the basis for such termination pursuant to such provision.

-67-

(b) Effect of Termination. Any proper and valid termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1 will be effective immediately upon the delivery of written notice by the terminating Party to the other Parties. In the event of the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1, this Agreement will be of no further force or effect without liability of any Party (or any partner, member, manager, stockholder, director, officer, employee, Affiliate, agent or other representative of such Party) to the other Parties, as applicable, except that Section 6.6(f), Section 6.6(g), Section 6.14, this Section 8.2, Section 8.3, Section 8.4, Section 8.5 and Article IX will each survive the termination of this Agreement in accordance with their respective terms. Notwithstanding the foregoing but subject to Section 8.4(d), nothing in this Agreement will relieve the Company from any liability for any willful and material breach of this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event of termination of this Agreement, the Financing Sources will have no liability to the Company, any of its Affiliates or any of its or their direct or indirect equityholders hereunder or otherwise relating to or arising out of the transactions contemplated hereby or any Debt Financing (including for any willful and material breach), provided that the foregoing shall not preclude any liability of the Financing Sources to the Surviving Corporation and its Affiliates under any definitive agreements relating to any Debt Financing. In addition to the foregoing, no termination of this Agreement will affect the rights or obligations of any Party pursuant to the Confidentiality Agreement, which rights, obligations and agreements will survive the termination of this Agreement in accordance with their respective terms.

8.3 Fees and Expenses. Except as set forth in this Section 8.3, all fees and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the Merger will be paid by the Party incurring such fees and expenses whether or not the Merger is consummated. For the avoidance of doubt, Parent or the Surviving Corporation will be responsible for all fees and expenses of the Payment Agent. Parent will pay or cause to be paid all (i) transfer, stamp and documentary Taxes or fees; and (ii) sales, use, real property transfer and other similar Taxes or fees arising out of or in connection with entering into this Agreement and the consummation of the Merger.

8.4 Company Payments.

(a) Company Termination Fee.

(i) If (A) this Agreement is validly terminated pursuant to Section 8.1(c), Section 8.1(d) or Section 8.1(e); (B) at the time of such termination, the conditions set forth in Section 7.1(b) and Section 7.1(c) have been satisfied or are capable of being satisfied and the conditions set forth in Section 7.3(a) and Section 7.3(b) would be satisfied if the date of such termination was the Closing Date; (C) following the execution and delivery of this Agreement and prior to the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(c), Section 8.1(d) or Section 8.1(e), an Acquisition Proposal for an Acquisition Transaction has been publicly announced or disclosed and not withdrawn or otherwise abandoned (an “Outstanding Proposal”); and (D) within nine (9) months following the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(c), Section 8.1(d) or Section 8.1(e), as applicable, either an Acquisition Transaction is consummated or the Company enters into a definitive agreement with respect to the Outstanding Proposal and the Outstanding Proposal is subsequently consummated (even if after such nine-month period), then the Company will concurrently with the consummation of such Acquisition Transaction pay to Parent or such Person(s) designated by Parent in writing (which Person(s) may include the Sponsors) (Parent or such Person(s), as applicable, the “Parent Payee”) an amount equal to $3,500,000.00 (the “Company Termination Fee”). For purposes of this Section 8.4(a)(i), all references to “15%” in the definition of “Acquisition Transaction” will be deemed to be references to “more than 50%.”

(ii) If this Agreement is validly terminated pursuant to Section 8.1(f), then the Company must promptly (and in any event within two Business Days) following such termination pay to the Parent Payee the Company Termination Fee.

-68-

(iii) If this Agreement is validly terminated pursuant to Section 8.1(h), then the Company must prior to or concurrently with such termination pay to the Parent Payee the Company Termination Fee.

(b) Single Payment Only. The Parties acknowledge and agree that in no event will the Company be required to pay the Company Termination Fee on more than one occasion, whether or not the Company Termination Fee may be payable pursuant to more than one provision of this Agreement at the same or at different times and upon the occurrence of different events.

(c) Payments; Default. The Parties acknowledge that the agreements contained in this Section 8.4 are an integral part of the Merger, and that, without these agreements, the Parties would not enter into this Agreement. In light of the difficulty of accurately determining actual losses or damages with respect to the foregoing, the parties acknowledge that the Company Termination Fee (and any Enforcement Costs, if any), in the circumstances in which such fee and/or costs become payable, constitutes a reasonable estimate of the losses or damages that will be suffered by reason of any such termination of this Agreement and constitutes liquidated damages (in the event it is payable and paid) in a reasonable amount to compensate Parent in the circumstances in which such fee and/or costs are payable, for the efforts and resources expended and opportunities foregone while negotiating this Agreement and in reliance on this Agreement and on the expectation of the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, which amount would otherwise be difficult to calculate with any precision, and is not a penalty. Accordingly, if the Company fails to promptly pay any amount due pursuant to Section 8.4(a) and, in order to obtain such payment, Parent commences a Legal Proceeding that results in a judgment against the Company for the amount set forth in Section 8.4(a) or any portion thereof, the Company will pay to Parent its reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees) in connection with such Legal Proceeding, up to a maximum amount of $500,000.00 (as applicable, “Company Termination Fee Enforcement Costs”). All payments under this Section 8.4 shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by Parent.

(d) Sole and Exclusive Remedy. Subject to Section 8.2(b), the Parent Payee’s receipt of the Company Termination Fee to the extent owed pursuant to this Section 8.4 will constitute liquidated damages and be the only monetary damages, and the sole and exclusive remedy, that Parent and Merger Sub and each of their respective Affiliates may recover from (A) the Company Group and its Affiliates; and (B) the former, current and future direct or indirect holders of any equity, controlling persons, directors, officers, employees, incorporators, agents, attorneys, advisors, representatives, Affiliates, members, managers, general or limited partners, stockholders and assignees of each of the Company Group and its Affiliates (the Persons in clauses (A) and (B) collectively, the “Company Related Parties”) in respect of this Agreement, any agreement executed in connection herewith and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, the termination of this Agreement, the failure to consummate the Merger or any claims or actions under applicable law arising out of any such breach, termination or failure, and upon payment of such amount, (1) none of the Company Related Parties will have any further liability or obligation to Parent or Merger Sub relating to or arising out of this Agreement, any agreement executed in connection herewith or the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby or any matters forming the basis of such termination (except that the Parties (or their Affiliates) will remain obligated with respect to, and the Company Group may be entitled to remedies with respect to, the Confidentiality Agreement, Section 8.3 and Section 8.4(c), as applicable); and (2) none of Parent, Merger Sub or any other Person will be entitled to bring or maintain any claim, action or proceeding against the Company or any Company Related Party arising out of this Agreement, any agreement executed in connection herewith or the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby or any matters forming the basis for such termination (except that the Parties (or their Affiliates) will remain obligated with respect to, and the Company Group may be entitled to remedies with respect to, the Confidentiality Agreement, Section 8.3 and Section 8.4(c), as applicable). The Company Related Parties are intended third party beneficiaries of this Section 8.4(d).

-69-

(e) Acknowledgement Regarding Specific Performance. For the avoidance of doubt, Parent will be entitled to seek specific performance of this Agreement to the extent permitted by Section 9.8(b) while also seeking payment of the Company Termination Fee, but in no event shall Parent be entitled to both obtain specific performance to cause the Closing to occur and also to receive the Company Termination Fee.

8.5 Parent Payments.

(a) Parent Termination Fee. If this Agreement is validly terminated by the Company pursuant to Section 8.1(g) or Section 8.1(i) (or by the Company under Section 8.1(c) at a time when the Company is entitled to terminate under Section 8.1(g) or Section 8.1(i)), Parent shall pay, or cause to be paid, to the Company an amount equal to $4,500,000.00 (the “Parent Termination Fee”) within two Business Days following such termination.

(b) Single Payment Only. The Parties acknowledge and agree that in no event will the Parent Termination Fee be required to be paid on more than one occasion, whether or not the Parent Termination Fee may be payable pursuant to more than one provision of this Agreement at the same or at different times and upon the occurrence of different events.

(c) Payments; Default. The Parties acknowledge that the agreements contained in this Section 8.5 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and that, without these agreements, the Parties would not enter into this Agreement. In light of the difficulty of accurately determining actual losses or damages with respect to the foregoing, the Parties acknowledge that the Parent Termination Fee (and any Enforcement Costs, if any), in the circumstances in which such fee and/or costs become payable, constitutes a reasonable estimate of the losses or damages that will be suffered by reason of any such termination of this Agreement and constitutes liquidated damages (in the event it is payable and paid) in a reasonable amount to compensate the Company in the circumstances in which such fee and/or costs are payable, for the efforts and resources expended and opportunities foregone while negotiating this Agreement and in reliance on this Agreement and on the expectation of the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, which amount would otherwise be difficult to calculate with any precision, and is not a penalty. Accordingly, if Parent fails to promptly pay any amount due pursuant to Section 8.5(a) and, in order to obtain such payment, the Company commences a Legal Proceeding that results in a judgment against Parent for the amount set forth in Section 8.5(a) or any portion thereof, Parent will pay to the Company its reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees) in connection with such Legal Proceeding, up to a maximum amount of $500,000.00 (as applicable, “Parent Termination Fee Enforcement Costs” and together with Company Termination Fee Enforcement Costs, as applicable, “Enforcement Costs”). All payments under this Section 8.5 shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by the Company.

-70-

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, (x) the Company’s right to terminate this Agreement and receive the Parent Termination Fee to the extent owed pursuant to Section 8.5(a), the Company’s receipt of Parent Termination Fee Enforcement Costs to the extent owed pursuant to Section 8.5(c), the Company’s right to enforce its rights under the Confidentiality Agreement, the Reimbursement Obligations and, prior to the termination of this Agreement, the Company’s right to specific performance pursuant to Section 9.8(b) will be the sole and exclusive remedies (whether at law, in equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise) of the Company and the Company Related Parties against (A) Parent, the Sponsors, the Financing Sources and their respective Affiliates; and (B) the former, current and future direct or indirect holders of any equity, controlling persons, management companies, directors, officers, employees, incorporators, agents, attorneys, advisors, representatives, Affiliates, members, managers, general or limited partners, stockholders and assignees of each of the Persons in clause (A) (the Persons in clauses (A) and (B) collectively, the “Parent Related Parties”) in respect of this Agreement (or the termination thereof), any agreement executed in connection herewith (including the Equity Commitment Letter) (or the termination thereof) and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby (or the failure of such transactions to occur for any reason or for no reason) or any breach (whether willful (including willful and material breach), intentional, unilateral or otherwise) of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement or otherwise in respect of this Agreement or the Equity Commitment Letter or any oral representation made or alleged to be made in connection herewith or therewith; (y) upon payment in full of the Parent Termination Fee to the Company (and any Enforcement Costs and Reimbursement Obligations, if any) the Company Related Parties shall not be entitled to commence or pursue any Proceeding against any Parent Related Party arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, any certificate or ancillary agreement delivered pursuant to the express terms of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (regardless of the theory of liability); and (z) upon payment in full of the Parent Termination Fee to the Company (and any Enforcement Costs and Reimbursement Obligations, if any) no Parent Related Party shall have any further liability relating to or arising out of this Agreement, any certificate or ancillary agreement delivered pursuant to the express terms of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (regardless of the theory of liability), including in connection with the Debt Financing. The Parent Related Parties are intended third party beneficiaries of this Section 8.5(d). In no event shall Parent, Merger Sub, the Sponsors or any other Parent Related Party have liability for (nor shall any Company Related Party seek to recover) monetary damages (including monetary damages in lieu of specific performance), individually or in the aggregate in excess of an amount equal to the Parent Termination Fee relating to or arising out of this Agreement (or the termination thereof), any agreement executed in connection herewith (including the Equity Commitment Letter) (or the termination thereof) or the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby (or the failure of such transactions to occur for any reason or for no reason) or any breach (whether willful (including willful and material breach), intentional, unilateral or otherwise) of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement or otherwise in respect of this Agreement or the Equity Commitment Letter or any oral representation made or alleged to be made in connection herewith or therewith.

(e) Acknowledgement Regarding Specific Performance. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company will be entitled to seek specific performance of this Agreement to the extent permitted by Section 9.8(b) while also seeking payment of the Parent Termination Fee, but in no event shall the Company be entitled to both obtain specific performance to cause the Closing to occur and also to receive the Parent Termination Fee.

8.6 Amendment. Subject to applicable law and subject to the other provisions of this Agreement, this Agreement may be amended by the Parties at any time by execution of an instrument in writing signed on behalf of each of Parent, Merger Sub and the Company (pursuant to authorized action by the Company Board (or a committee thereof)), provided that, after the Stockholder Approval Date, no amendment may be made to this Agreement that requires the further approval of the Company Stockholders pursuant to the DGCL without such approval. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the provisions relating to the Financing Sources set forth in Section 6.6(a), Section 8.2, Section 8.4(d), Section 8.8, Section 9.3, Section 9.6, Section 9.8, Section 9.9, Section 9.10, Section 9.11 and this Section 8.6 (and any provision of this Agreement to the extent a modification, waiver or termination of such provision would modify the substance of the provisions relating to the Financing Sources set forth in Section 6.6(a), Section 8.2, Section 8.4(d), Section 8.8, Section 9.3, Section 9.6, Section 9.8, Section 9.9, Section 9.10, Section 9.11 or this Section 8.6) may not be amended, modified or altered without the prior written consent of the Financing Sources.

(b) Specific Performance.

(i) The Parties agree that irreparable damage for which monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy would occur in the event that the Parties do not perform the provisions of this Agreement (including any Party failing to take such actions as are required of it hereunder in order to consummate this Agreement) in accordance with its specified terms or otherwise breach such provisions. The Parties acknowledge and agree that, subject to Section 8.4, Section 8.5, Section 8.8 and Section 9.8(b)(ii), the Parties will be entitled, in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity, to an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief to prevent breaches (or threatened breaches) of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof.

(ii) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Company shall only be entitled to specific performance of Parent’s obligations to cause the Equity Financing to be funded and to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including by demanding Parent to enforce (or directly enforcing as a third party beneficiary of) the obligations of the parties to the Equity Commitment Letter and Parent’s (and the Company’s) rights thereunder, in the event that each of the following conditions has been fully satisfied: (A) all of the conditions set forth in Section 7.1 and Section 7.2 have been satisfied (other than those conditions that by their terms are to be satisfied by actions taken at Closing, provided that such conditions are capable of being satisfied at Closing), (B) the Available Debt Financing has been funded in full in accordance with the terms thereof or will be funded in full in accordance with the terms thereof at the Closing if the Equity Financing is funded at the Closing, (C) Parent and Merger Sub fail to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby by the date on which the Closing was required to occur pursuant to Section 2.3, and (D) the Company has delivered to Parent a written notice irrevocably confirming that, subject to performance by Parent and the Sponsors with their respective obligations, the Company is ready, willing and able to consummate the Closing in accordance with the terms hereof if specific performance is granted and the Equity Financing and the Debt Financing are funded. For the avoidance of doubt, (x) while the Company may pursue any or all of a grant of specific performance (pursuant to this Section 9.8(b)), monetary damages, and/or the payment of the Parent Termination Fee pursuant to Section 8.5 and/or Enforcement Costs, under no circumstances will the Company, its Affiliates or any other Person be entitled to receive both a grant of such specific performance and monetary damages (including an award of all or any portion of the Parent Termination Fee) except for any Enforcement Costs in connection with the grant of such specific performance, and (y) in no event shall the Company, its Affiliates or any other Person be entitled to enforce specifically Parent’s right to cause the Equity Financing to be funded or to complete the transactions contemplated by this Agreement if the Available Debt Financing has not been funded in full (or will not be funded in full at the Closing if the Equity Financing is funded at the Closing).

(iii) Notwithstanding the foregoing and subject to the rights of the parties to the definitive agreements for any Debt Financing under the terms thereof, none of the Company and its Affiliates and their direct and indirect equityholders shall have any rights or claims (whether in contract or in tort or otherwise) against any Financing Source, solely in their respective capacities as lenders or arrangers in connection with the Debt Financing, and in no event shall the Company, any of its Affiliates or its or their direct or indirect equityholders be entitled to directly seek the remedy of specific performance of this Agreement against any Financing Source.

(iv) Subject to the terms of Section 8.4, Section 8.5 and Section 9.8(b)(ii), the Parties agree not to raise any objections to (A) the granting of an injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief to prevent or restrain breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement by the Company, on the one hand, or Parent and Merger Sub, on the other hand; and (B) the specific performance of the terms and provisions of this Agreement to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of, or to enforce compliance with, the covenants, obligations and agreements of Parent and Merger Sub pursuant to this Agreement.
