Article 2
Effect of the Merger; Exchange of Certificates; Company Stock Options

2.1 Effect on Capital Stock.

At the Effective Time, as a result of the Merger and without any action on the part of the Company, Parent, Merger Sub, the holder of any shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company (“Company Common Stock”), or the holder of any shares of capital stock of Merger Sub:

(a) Capital Stock of Merger Sub. Each share of capital stock of Merger 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 $0.001 per share, of the Surviving Corporation.

(b) Conversion of Company Common Stock. Each issued and outstanding share of Company Common Stock, other than shares to be canceled in accordance with Section 2.1(c) and Dissenting Shares (each a “Share” and collectively, the “Shares”), shall be converted into the right to receive a cash amount equal to $1.05, without interest (the “Merger Consideration”) pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in Section 2.2. As of the Effective Time, all such Shares shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and shall cease to exist, and each holder of a certificate which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented any such Shares (each, a “Certificate”) shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the Merger Consideration to be paid in consideration therefor upon surrender of such Certificate in accordance with Section 2.2(b), without interest.

(c) Cancellation of Treasury Stock and Parent-Owned Stock. Any Shares that are owned by the Company as treasury stock, and any Shares owned by Parent or Merger Sub, including the Rollover Shares, in each case immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be automatically canceled and shall cease to exist and no consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor.

(d) Appraisal Rights. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Shares that are issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and which are held by a stockholder who did not vote to adopt this Agreement (or consent thereto in writing) and 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 “Dissenting Stockholders”), shall not be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration (the “Dissenting Shares”), but instead such holder shall be entitled to payment of the fair value of such Shares in accordance with the provisions of Section 262 of the DGCL (and at the Effective Time, such Dissenting Shares shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and shall cease to exist, and such holder shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the fair value of such Dissenting Shares in accordance with the provisions of Section 262 of the DGCL), unless and until such holder shall have failed to perfect or shall have effectively withdrawn or lost rights to appraisal under the DGCL. If any Dissenting Stockholder shall have failed to perfect or shall have effectively

- 4 -

withdrawn or lost such appraisal rights pursuant to the DGCL, such holder’s Shares shall thereupon be treated as if they had been converted into and become exchangeable for the right to receive, as of the Effective Time, the Merger Consideration for each such Share, in accordance with Section 2.1(b), without any interest thereon. The Company shall give Parent (i) prompt notice of any written demands for appraisal of any Shares, attempted withdrawals of such demands and any other instruments served pursuant to the DGCL and received by the Company relating to stockholders’ rights of appraisal, and (ii) the opportunity to participate in all negotiations and Proceedings with respect to demands for appraisal under the DGCL. The Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of Parent, voluntarily make any payment with respect to, or settle, or offer or agree to settle, any such demand for payment or waive any failure by a stockholder to timely comply with the requirements of the DGCL to perfect or demand appraisal rights. Any portion of the Merger Consideration made available to the Paying Agent pursuant to Section 2.2 to pay for Shares for which appraisal rights have been perfected shall be returned to Parent upon demand.

2.2 Exchange of Certificates.

(a) Paying Agent. Prior to the Effective Time, Parent and the Company shall designate American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC to act as agent for the holders of Shares and Options in connection with the Merger (the “Paying Agent”) to receive, for the benefit of such holders, the aggregate amount equal to the sum of (i) the product of (A) the Merger Consideration, times (B) the number of Shares plus (ii) the aggregate amount of Option Consideration payable upon the exercise of the Options (collectively, items (i) and (ii) shall be referred to as the “Aggregate Merger Consideration”). At the Closing, Parent shall deposit, or cause to be deposited, on behalf of Parent, immediately available funds equal to the Aggregate Merger Consideration with the Paying Agent for the benefit of the holders of Shares (other than shares to be canceled in accordance with Section 2.1(c) and the Dissenting Shares) and Options. The Paying Agent shall cause the Aggregate Merger Consideration to be (x) held for the benefit of the holders of Company Common Stock and Options, and (y) applied promptly to making the payments pursuant to Section 2.1(b), Section 2.3 and Section 2.4. The Aggregate Merger Consideration shall not be used for any purpose that is not expressly provided for in this Agreement. The Aggregate Merger Consideration deposited with the Paying Agent shall, pending its disbursement to such holders, be invested by the Paying Agent as directed by Parent. Any net profit resulting from, or interest or income produced by, such amounts on deposit with the Paying Agent will be payable to Parent or as Parent otherwise directs.

(b) Payment Procedures. Promptly after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall cause the Paying Agent to mail to each holder of record (immediately prior to the Effective Time) of a Certificate and/or Options (to the extent the Merger Consideration exceeds the exercise price payable in respect of such share of Company Common Stock issuable under such Option) (i) a letter of transmittal (which shall specify, in connection with a Certificate, that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of the Certificates (or a lost Certificate affidavit in lieu thereof) to the Paying Agent, and which shall be in such form and shall have such other provisions as Parent may reasonably specify and approve) and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates or Options in exchange for payment of the Merger Consideration and the Option Consideration, as applicable. Upon surrender of a Certificate (or a lost Certificate affidavit in

- 5 -

lieu thereof) or Options for cancellation to the Paying Agent (if applicable), together with such letter of transmittal, duly completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions (and such other customary documents as may reasonably be required by the Paying Agent), the holder of such Certificate or Options shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor the Merger Consideration, without interest, for each Share formerly represented by such Certificate or Option (to the extent the Merger Consideration exceeds the exercise price payable in respect of such share of Company Common Stock issuable under such Option), and the Certificate or Option so surrendered shall forthwith be canceled. If payment of the applicable portion of the Aggregate Merger Consideration is to be made to a Person other than the Person in whose name the surrendered Certificate or Option is registered, it shall be a condition of such payment that (x) the Certificate or Option so surrendered shall be properly endorsed or shall otherwise be in proper form for transfer and (y) the Person requesting such payment shall have paid any transfer and other taxes required by reason of the payment of the applicable portion of the Aggregate Merger Consideration to a Person other than the registered holder of such Certificate or Option surrendered or shall have established to the reasonable satisfaction of the Surviving Corporation that such tax either has been paid or is not applicable, and such Person shall indemnify the Paying Agent, if so requested by the Paying Agent. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 2.2, each Certificate or Option shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive the applicable portion of the Aggregate Merger Consideration as contemplated by this Article 2, without interest.

(c) Transfer Books; No Further Ownership Rights in Company Stock. The Merger Consideration paid in respect of Shares upon the surrender for exchange of Certificates (or a lost Certificate affidavit in lieu thereof) in accordance with the terms of this Article 2 shall be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to the Shares previously represented by such Certificates (or a lost Certificate affidavit in lieu thereof), and at the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed and thereafter there shall be no further registration of transfers on the stock transfer books of the Surviving Corporation of the Shares that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. From and after the Effective Time, the holders of Certificates (or a lost Certificate affidavit in lieu thereof) that evidenced ownership of Shares outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall cease to have any rights with respect to such Shares, except as otherwise provided for herein or by applicable Law. Subject to the last sentence of Section 2.2(e), if, at any time after the Effective Time, Certificates (or a lost Certificate affidavit in lieu thereof) are presented to the Surviving Corporation for any reason, they shall be canceled and exchanged as provided in this Article 2.

(d) Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. If any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of lost Certificate (in a form reasonably acceptable to Parent) 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 will pay, in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate, the applicable Merger Consideration to be paid in respect of the Shares formerly represented by such Certificate, as contemplated by this Article 2.

- 6 -

(e) Termination of Fund. At any time following twelve (12) months after the Closing Date, the Surviving Corporation shall be entitled to require the Paying Agent to deliver to it or Parent any funds (including any interest received with respect thereto) that had been made available to the Paying Agent and which have not been disbursed to holders of Certificates or Options, and thereafter such holders shall be entitled to look only to the Surviving Corporation (subject to abandoned property, escheat or other similar laws) as general creditors thereof with respect to the payment of any of the Aggregate Merger Consideration that may be payable upon surrender of any Certificates or Options held by such holders, as determined pursuant to this Agreement, without any interest thereon. Any amounts remaining unclaimed by such holders at such time at which such amounts would otherwise escheat to or become property of any Governmental Authority shall become, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, the property of Parent, free and clear of any and all claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.

(f) No Liability. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, neither the parties hereto, the Surviving Corporation nor the Paying Agent shall be liable to any Person for any portion of the Aggregate Merger Consideration delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law.

(g) Withholding Taxes. Parent, the Surviving Corporation and the Paying Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable to a holder of Shares or Options pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as are required to be deducted and withheld with respect to the making of such payment under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Code”), or under any provision of state, local or foreign tax Law. To the extent amounts are so deducted or withheld, such amounts shall be paid over to the appropriate taxing authority, and such paid over amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.

2.3 Company Stock Options.

Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall take all actions necessary to provide that each option outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (whether or not then vested or exercisable) that represents the right to acquire shares of Company Common Stock (each, an “Option”) shall be cancelled and terminated (without regard to the exercise price of the Options) and that all Options, whether or not vested, that remain unexercised immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted at the Effective Time into the right to receive a cash amount equal to the Option Consideration for each share of Company Common Stock then subject to such Option whether or not vested without the need for any further action by the holder of the Option. The Option Consideration shall be paid to holders of Options in accordance with Section 2.2. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall make such amendments to the terms of the Company Stock Plans and obtain any consents from holders of Options that, in each case, are necessary to give effect to the transactions contemplated by this Section 2.3 and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary, payment may be withheld in respect of any Option until any necessary consents are obtained. Without limiting the foregoing, the Company shall take all actions necessary to ensure that the Company will not at the Effective Time be bound by any options, stock appreciation rights or other rights or agreements which would entitle any Person, other than Parent and its Subsidiaries, to own any capital stock of the

- 7 -

Surviving Corporation or to receive any payment in respect thereof, except as contemplated in connection with the Transactions. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall take all actions necessary to terminate all its Company Stock Plans, such termination to be effective at or before the Effective Time. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the Option Consideration otherwise payable such amounts as may be required to be deducted and withheld with respect to the making of such payment under the Code, or any provision of state, local or foreign tax Laws. The Company shall not take any action to vest Options that were granted after December 31, 2012 to the extent that such Options would not vest by their current terms prior to the Effective Time.

2.4 Adjustments.

Notwithstanding any provision of this Article 2 to the contrary (but without in any way limiting the covenants in Section 5.2), if between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock shall have been changed into a different number or class of shares by reason of the occurrence or record date of any stock dividend, subdivision, reclassification, recapitalization, stock split, conversion, combination, exchange of shares or similar transaction, the Aggregate Merger Consideration shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect such stock dividend, subdivision, reclassification, recapitalization, stock split, conversion, combination, exchange of shares or similar transaction.

3.5 Company SEC Documents; Undisclosed Liabilities.

(a) The Company has filed and furnished all required reports, schedules, forms, prospectuses, documents, and registration, proxy and other statements required to be filed by it pursuant to the Exchange Act, the Securities Act, and the rules and regulations of the SEC since January 1, 2008 (collectively and together with all documents filed on a voluntary basis on Form 8-K, and in each case including all exhibits and schedules thereto and documents incorporated by reference therein, the “Company SEC Documents”). None of the Company’s Subsidiaries is required to file periodic reports with the SEC pursuant to the Exchange Act. As of their respective effective dates (in the case of Company SEC Documents that are registration statements filed pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act) and as of their respective SEC filing dates (in the case of all other Company SEC Documents) or if amended as of the latest amendment date, the Company SEC Documents complied in all material respects with the requirements of the Exchange Act, the Securities Act and the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act, as the case may be, applicable to such Company SEC Documents, and none of the Company SEC Documents as of such respective dates contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

(b) The consolidated financial statements of the Company (and the related notes) included in the Company SEC Documents comply as to form in all material respects with applicable accounting requirements and the published rules and regulations of the SEC with respect thereto, have been prepared in accordance with GAAP (except, in the case of unaudited quarterly statements as permitted by the SEC and indicated in the notes thereto) applied on a consistent basis during the periods presented and fairly present in all material respects the consolidated financial position, results of operation, changes in equity and cash flow of the Company and its consolidated Subsidiaries as of the dates thereof and for the periods then ended (subject, in the case of unaudited quarterly statements, to normal year-end audit adjustments, none of which has been or could be, individually or in the aggregate, material to either the Company or any of its Subsidiaries). The management of the Company has disclosed to the Company’s independent auditors all facts and circumstances known to them that are material and bear upon the accuracy of the audited financial statements. The Company’s accounting systems and controls are sufficient to detect material fraud and inaccuracies in the financial reporting processes and reports.

(c) Since January 1, 2008, the Company has been and is in compliance in all material respects with (i) the applicable provisions of the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act of 2002 (the “Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act”), and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder and (ii) the applicable listing and corporate governance rules and regulations of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority or similar Governmental Authority. The Company has designed disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that material information relating to the Company, including its Subsidiaries, is made known to the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer of the Company by others within those entities, and is in the reports that it files under the Exchange Act and is in accordance with the Exchange Act, the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the SEC. The Company has disclosed, based on its most recent evaluation prior to the date hereof, to the Company’s auditors and the audit committee of the Company’s Board of Directors (x) any significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in the design or operation of internal

- 13 -

controls over financial reporting which are reasonably likely to adversely affect in any material respects the Company’s ability to record, process, summarize and report financial information and (y) any fraud or allegation of fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other employees who have a significant role in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting. To the Knowledge of the Company, there is no reason to believe that its auditors and its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer will not be able to give the certifications and attestations required pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC and under Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act when due. There are no outstanding loans made by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to any executive officer (as defined in Rule 3b-7 under the Exchange Act) or director of the Company.

(d) Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has, and there is no basis for, any liabilities or obligations of any nature (whether asserted or, to the Company’s Knowledge, unasserted, accrued or unaccrued, absolute or contingent, liquidated or unliquidated, due or, to the Company’s Knowledge, to become due, known or otherwise) whether or not required, if known, to be reflected or reserved against on a consolidated balance sheet of the Company prepared in accordance with GAAP or the notes thereto, except liabilities (i) as and to the extent reflected or reserved against on the unaudited balance sheet of the Company and its Subsidiaries as of September 30, 2012 (such balance sheet, the “Balance Sheet”, and such date, the “Balance Sheet Date”) (including the notes thereto) included in the Company SEC Documents filed by the Company and publicly available during the twelve (12) month period ending on the date of this Agreement (the “Filed Company SEC Documents”), (ii) incurred after the Balance Sheet Date in the Ordinary Course of Business, or (iii) that, individually or in the aggregate, are not and could not reasonably be expected to be material to either the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

(e) All notes and accounts receivable reflected on the Balance Sheet, and all accounts receivable of the Company and its Subsidiaries generated since the Balance Sheet Date (the “Receivables”), constitute bona fide receivables resulting from the sale of inventory, services or other obligations in favor of the Company and its Subsidiaries as to which full performance has been fully rendered, and are valid and enforceable claims. The accounts receivable of the Company and its Subsidiaries as of the Closing Date will be current and collectible in the Ordinary Course of Business. The Receivables are not subject to any pending or, to the Company’s Knowledge, threatened defense, counterclaim, right of offset, returns, allowances or credits, except to the extent reserved against the accounts receivable. The reserves against the accounts receivable for returns, allowances, chargebacks and bad debts are commercially reasonable and have been determined in accordance with GAAP, consistently applied in accordance with past custom and practice.

(f) The accounts payable of the Company and its Subsidiaries reflected on the Balance Sheet arose from bona fide transactions in the Ordinary Course of Business, and all such accounts payable have either been paid, are not yet due and payable in the Ordinary Course of Business, or are being contested by the Company and its Subsidiaries in good faith.

(g) Except as set forth on Section 3.5(g) of the Company Disclosure Schedule, to the Knowledge of the Company, from January 1, 2011 through the date of this Agreement, (i) neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries nor any current or former director, officer,

- 14 -

employee or auditor of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries has received or otherwise had or obtained Knowledge of any complaint, allegation, assertion or claim, whether written or oral, alleging a material deficiency in the accounting or auditing practices, procedures, methodologies or methods of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or their respective internal accounting controls, and (ii) no attorney representing the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, whether or not employed by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, has reported evidence of a material violation of securities laws, breach of fiduciary duty, or similar violation by the Company or any of its officers, directors, employees or agents to the Company’s Board of Directors or any committee thereof or to any director or officer of the Company.

(h) The inventory of the Company and its Subsidiaries (i) does not include any items that are obsolete or of a quantity or quality not usable or salable in the Ordinary Course of Business and (ii) includes only items sold by the Company and its Subsidiaries in the Ordinary Course of Business. The inventory disposed of subsequent to the Balance Sheet Date has been disposed of only in the Ordinary Course of Business.

3.6 Assets.

(a) The Company and its Subsidiaries have good and marketable title to, or a valid leasehold interest or license in, the properties and assets (tangible and intangible) used by them, located on their premises, or shown on the Most Recent Balance Sheet or acquired after the Balance Sheet Date, other than inventory sold in the Ordinary Course of Business, free and clear of all Liens, except for Permitted Liens. The assets, properties and rights owned by the Company and its Subsidiaries are all the assets, properties and rights used by the Company and its Subsidiaries in the operation of the Business or necessary to operate the businesses of the Company and its Subsidiaries, consistent with past practice.

(b) The buildings, machinery, vehicles, equipment, and other tangible assets that the Company and its Subsidiaries own and lease are free from material defects (patent and latent), have been maintained in accordance with normal industry practice, and are in good operating condition and repair (subject to normal wear and tear) and are suitable for the purposes for which they are presently used.

3.7 Absence of Certain Changes or Events.

Since the Balance Sheet Date, the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries has been conducted in the Ordinary Course of Business, and there has not been any Company Material Adverse Change and no event has occurred which could reasonably be expected to result in a Company Material Adverse Change. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, except as set forth on Section 3.7 of the Company Disclosure Schedule, since the Balance Sheet Date the Company and its Subsidiaries have not:

(a) sold, leased, transferred or assigned any assets or property (tangible or intangible) with a value in excess of $50,000, other than sales of inventory in the Ordinary Course of Business;

(b) experienced any damage, destruction or loss (whether or not covered by insurance) to its assets or property (tangible or intangible) in excess of $50,000;

There is no outstanding Order to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is subject. Except as set forth in Section 3.8 of the Company Disclosure Schedule, the Company and each of its Subsidiaries are insured with respect to each of the matters set forth on Section 3.8 of the Company Disclosure Schedule. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has received written notice of a claim or dispute that is reasonably likely to result in any such complaint, charge, Proceeding, Order, investigation or other process or procedure for settling disputes or disagreements with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Except as set forth on Section 3.10 of the Company Disclosure Schedule, neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement nor the consummation of the Transactions, including the Merger, will (either alone or in conjunction with any other event) (a) result in any payment or benefit to any employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or (b) result in any payment or benefit to any director or officer of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, except in

(b) Except as set forth on Section 3.11(b) of the Company Disclosure Schedule, the unpaid Taxes of the Company and its Subsidiaries (i) did not, as of the Balance Sheet Date, exceed the reserve for Tax liability (rather than any reserve for deferred Taxes established to reflect timing differences between book and Tax income) set forth on the face of the unaudited balance sheet of the Company and its Subsidiaries as of the Balance Sheet Date (rather than in any notes thereto) and (ii) do not exceed that reserve as adjusted for the passage of time through the Closing Date in accordance with the past custom and practice of the Company and its Subsidiaries in filing their Tax Returns.

(c) Except as expressly permitted by this Section 5.3(c), neither the Board of Directors of the Company nor any committee thereof (including the Special Committee) shall (i)(A) withdraw or modify, or propose publicly to withdraw or modify, in a manner adverse to Parent, the Company Board Recommendation or the approval or declaration of advisability by such Board of Directors of this Agreement and the Transactions (including the Merger) or (B) approve or recommend, or propose publicly to approve or recommend, any Takeover Proposal (any action described in this clause (i) being referred to as a “Company Adverse Recommendation Change”), (ii) authorize, cause, permit, approve or recommend, or propose publicly to authorize, cause, permit, approve or recommend, or cause or authorize the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to enter into, any letter of intent, agreement in principle, memorandum of understanding, or option, merger, acquisition, purchase, joint venture or other similar agreement related to any Takeover Proposal (other than a confidentiality agreement in accordance with Section 5.3(a)) (each, a “Company Acquisition Agreement”), or (iii) except as contemplated by this Agreement, take any action which would allow any Person other than Parent or Merger Sub to acquire beneficial ownership of 20% or more of the shares of Company Common Stock. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time prior to obtaining the Company Stockholder Approval, the Board of Directors of the Company (acting upon receipt of a recommendation by the Special Committee) may, so long as it is in compliance with this Section 5.3, withdraw or modify the Company Board Recommendation in response to a Superior Proposal, approve or recommend a Takeover Proposal, enter into a Company Acquisition Agreement, or take the actions in clause (iii) of the preceding sentence if such Board determines in good faith, after consulting with, and receiving advice from, outside counsel and its independent financial advisor, that the failure to make such withdrawal, approval, modification or recommendation, or take such action, would constitute a breach by the Board of Directors of the Company of its fiduciary duties to the Company’s stockholders under Delaware law; provided, however, that no Company Adverse Recommendation Change may be made in response to a Superior Proposal, no Takeover Proposal shall be approved or recommended, and no Company Acquisition Agreement shall be entered into, until after the fifth (5^th) Business Day following Parent’s receipt of written notice from the Company (a “Company Adverse Recommendation Notice”) advising Parent that the Board of Directors of the Company intends to make such Company Adverse Recommendation Notice and specifying the terms and conditions of such Superior Proposal and the identity of the Person making such Superior Proposal and delivering the documents and information required to be delivered pursuant to Section 5.3(b) (it being understood and agreed that any amendment to the financial terms or other material terms of such Superior Proposal shall require a new Company Adverse Recommendation Notice and a new five (5) Business Day period) and during such five (5) Business Day period (and any applicable extension thereto), upon Parent’s election to propose any adjustment, modification or amendment to the terms and conditions hereof, the Company shall negotiate, and shall make its financial and legal advisors available to negotiate, in good faith with Parent such adjustments, modifications or amendments. In determining whether to make a Company Adverse Recommendation Change in response to a Superior Proposal, approve a Takeover Proposal, or enter into a Company Acquisition Agreement, the Board of Directors of the Company shall take into account any changes to the terms of this Agreement proposed by Parent (in response to a Company Adverse Recommendation Notice or otherwise) in determining whether such third party Takeover Proposal still constitutes a Superior Proposal. At any time prior to obtaining the Company Stockholder Approval and after following the procedures set

- 45 -

forth in this Section 5.3(c), the Board of Directors of the Company may, in response to a Superior Proposal that did not result from a breach of this Section 5.3, cause the Company to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1(d)(ii) if the Board of Directors of the Company shall have determined in good faith, after consultation with its independent financial advisors and its outside counsel, that such third Party Takeover Proposal remains a Superior Proposal after giving effect to all of the adjustments, modifications and amendment hereof that have been offered by Parent pursuant to this Section 5.3(c); provided, however, that the Company shall pay to Parent the Company Termination Fee as provided in Section 7.3 concurrent with such termination.

(d) Nothing in this Section 5.3 shall prohibit the Board of Directors of the Company (acting upon receipt of a recommendation by the Special Committee) from taking and disclosing to the Company’s stockholders a position contemplated by Rule 14e-2(a), Rule 14d-9 or Item 1012(a) of Regulation M-A promulgated under the Exchange Act if such Board (acting upon receipt of a recommendation by the Special Committee) determines in good faith, after consultation with outside counsel, that failure to so disclose such position would constitute a violation of applicable Law; provided, however, that in no event shall the Company or its Board of Directors (acting upon receipt of a recommendation by the Special Committee) or any committee thereof take, or agree or resolve to take, any action prohibited by Section 5.3(c).

Subject to appropriate confidentiality protections, each party hereto shall furnish to the other parties such necessary information and reasonable assistance as such other party may reasonably request in connection with the foregoing. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in no event

- 46 -

At any time prior to the Effective Time, any party may, subject to applicable Law, (a) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties of any other party hereto, (b) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or acts of any other party hereto or (c) waive compliance by the other party with any of the agreements contained herein or, except as otherwise provided herein, waive any of such party’s conditions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no failure or delay by the Company, Parent or Merger Sub in exercising any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right hereunder. No action taken pursuant to this Agreement, including any investigation by or on behalf of any party hereto, constitutes a waiver by the party taking such action of compliance with any provision of this Agreement. Any agreement on the part of a party hereto to any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed on behalf of such party. The waiver by any party hereto of any provision of this Agreement is effective only in the instance and only for the purpose that it is given and does not operate and is not to be construed as a further or continuing waiver of such provision or as a waiver of any other provision.

Neither this Agreement nor any of the terms or provisions hereof are binding upon or enforceable against any party hereto unless and until the same is executed by all of the parties hereto. This Agreement is binding upon and inures to the benefit of the parties to this Agreement and their respective successors and permitted assigns. This Agreement (including the exhibits and schedules hereto and any other documents and instruments referred to herein or contemplated hereby), the Company Disclosure Schedule, Parent Disclosure Schedule, the Limited Guaranty, and the Confidentiality Agreement (a) constitute the entire agreement, and

- 59 -

supersede all other prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the parties, or any of them, with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof (including that certain Letter of Intent between the Company and Comvest Investment Partners Holdings, LLC, dated as of November 9, 2012, and any supplements thereto (the “Letter of Intent”)) and (b) except for the provisions of Section 5.8 and the rights of the Company’s stockholders and option holders to receive the Merger Consideration at the Effective Time in accordance with, and subject to, the terms and conditions of this Agreement, are not intended to and shall not confer upon any Person other than the parties hereto any rights or remedies hereunder.

Each of the parties hereto agrees that a judgment in such action or Proceeding may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Law. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably consents to process being served by any party to this Agreement in any action or Proceeding by delivery of a copy thereof in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.9.

8.8 Specific Performance.

The parties to this Agreement agree that this Agreement is intended to be legally binding and specifically enforceable pursuant to its terms and irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed by the parties in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached and that monetary damages would not provide an adequate remedy in such event. It is accordingly agreed by the parties that the Company, Parent and Merger Sub shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in any court of the United States or any state having jurisdiction without bond or security being required; provided, however, in the event the Company, on the one hand, or Parent and/or Merger Sub, on the other hand, successfully enforces their respective rights and remedies set forth in this Section 8.8, such party shall not be entitled to any amounts, fees or damages set forth in Article 7 and that the Company’s, Parent’s and Merger Sub’s, as the case may be, sole and exclusive remedy with respect to such breaches shall be the remedies set forth in this Section 8.8.
