RECITALS

Section 1.2 Closing. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, the closing of the Merger (the “Closing”) shall take place as soon as reasonably practicable, but in no event later than the second Business Day, after the satisfaction or waiver of all of the conditions set forth in Article VII (excluding conditions that, by their terms, cannot be satisfied until the Closing, but the Closing shall be subject to the satisfaction or waiver of such conditions) (the “Closing Date”), at 10:00 a.m. California time at the offices of Corporate Counsel Group LLP, Xxx Xxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxx 000, Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx 00000, unless another date or place is agreed to in writing by the parties to this Agreement.

-1-

Section 1.4 Effect of the Merger. The Merger shall have the effects set forth in the applicable provisions of the DGCL. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and subject thereto, at the Effective Time, all the property, rights, privileges, immunities, powers, franchises and authority of the Company and Merger Sub shall vest in the Surviving Corporation and all debts, liabilities and duties of the Company and Merger Sub shall become the debts, liabilities and duties of the Surviving Corporation. For all purposes, all of the document deliveries and other actions to occur at the Closing will be conclusively presumed to have occurred at the same time, immediately before the Effective Time, unless otherwise specifically set forth in the applicable document.

Section 1.5 Certificate of Incorporation; Bylaws.

(a) At the Effective Time, the certificate of incorporation of the Company shall be amended to read in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A and, as so amended, shall be the certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter amended in accordance with its terms and applicable Law.

The directors of Merger Sub immediately before the Effective Time will be the initial directors of the Surviving Corporation and the officers of the Company immediately before the Effective Time will be the initial officers of the Surviving Corporation, in each case until their successors are duly elected or appointed and qualified or until their earlier death, resignation or removal in accordance with the certificate of incorporation and the bylaws of the Surviving Corporation.

ARTICLE II

EFFECT OF THE MERGER ON EQUITY INTERESTS

Section 2.1 Conversion of Securities. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action required on the part of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or the holders of Equity Interests or securities of Parent or Merger Sub:

(a) Each Share issued and outstanding immediately before the Effective Time (other than any Shares to be cancelled pursuant to Section 2.1(b) and any Dissenting Shares) will be cancelled and extinguished and will be converted into the right to receive $3.45 per share in cash, less applicable Taxes, if any, required to be withheld with respect to such payment, payable to the holder of such Share, without interest (the “Merger Consideration All such Shares, when so converted, will no longer be outstanding and will be automatically cancelled, retired and cease to exist. Each holder of a Share or Shares (other than any Shares to be cancelled pursuant to Section 2.1(b) and any Dissenting Shares) will cease to have any rights with respect to such Share or Shares, except the right to receive the Merger Consideration for such Share or Shares upon surrender of the certificate formerly representing such Share or Shares (a “Certificate”), subject to the provisions of Section 2.7, or, in the case of uncertificated Shares (the “Uncertificated Shares”), the book entry transfer of such Share or Shares upon receipt by the Paying Agent of evidence of transfer as the Paying Agent may reasonably request, each in the manner provided in Section 2.2.

(b) Each Share held by the Company (in the treasury or otherwise) and each Share owned by Parent, any direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent or any Affiliate of Parent

-2-

(collectively, “Excluded Shares”) immediately before the Effective Time will be cancelled, retired and extinguished, and no payment or other consideration will be made with respect to any such Equity Interest.

(c) Each share of capital stock of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately before the Effective Time will thereafter be converted into and represent one validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Surviving Corporation (and the shares of the Surviving Corporation into which the shares of Merger Sub capital stock are so converted shall be the only shares of the Surviving Corporation’s capital stock that are issued and outstanding immediately after the Effective Time). Each certificate evidencing ownership of shares of Merger Sub common stock will evidence ownership of such shares of common stock of the Surviving Corporation.

Section 2.2 Payment; Surrender of Equity Interest; Stock Transfer Books.

(a) Before the Effective Time, Merger Sub shall designate, at its election, the Company’s transfer agent or a separate bank or trust company reasonably acceptable to the Company to act as agent for the Surviving Corporation in connection with the Merger (the “Paying Agent”) to, inter alia, (i) receive the funds from Parent or Merger Sub necessary to make the payments contemplated by Section 2.1(a) pursuant to procedures reasonably acceptable to the Company and (ii) make all such payments. At the Effective Time, Parent or Merger Sub shall deposit, or cause to be deposited, with the Paying Agent in a separate account for the benefit of holders of Shares (other than the Dissenting Shares and Excluded Shares) (the “Payment Fund”) the aggregate consideration to which such holders shall be entitled at the Effective Time pursuant to Section 2.1(a), as applicable. If for any reason the cash in the Payment Fund shall be insufficient to fully satisfy all of the payment obligations to be made in cash by Parent or Merger Sub hereunder pursuant to Section 2.1(a), Parent or Merger Sub shall promptly deposit, or cause to be deposited, cash into the Payment Fund in an amount which is equal to the deficiency in the amount of cash required to fully satisfy such cash payment obligations.

(b) As soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time, but in any event no later than ten (10) Business Days following the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Paying Agent to mail to each holder of record of Shares which were converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.1(a) (i) a letter of transmittal (which will specify that delivery will be effected only upon delivery of the Certificate or Certificates representing such Shares to the Paying Agent or, with respect to Uncertificated Shares, book entry transfer of the Uncertificated Shares to Paying Agent, and will be in such form and have such other provisions as the Company and Parent may reasonably specify) and (ii) instructions for use in surrendering Certificates or transferring the Uncertificated Shares in exchange for the Merger Consideration. Each holder of a Certificate or Certificates or Uncertificated Share or Uncertificated Shares may thereafter, until the first anniversary of the Effective Time, surrender any such Certificate or Certificates to the Paying Agent under cover of the letter of transmittal or transfer any such Uncertificated Shares by book entry transfer of such Uncertificated Share or Uncertificated Shares upon receipt by the Paying Agent of evidence of transfer as the Paying Agent may reasonably request (each a “Valid Transfer”). Upon the completion of a Valid Transfer on or before the first anniversary of the Effective Time, Paying Agent shall, and Parent shall cause the Paying Agent to, pay the holder of such Shares cash in an amount equal to the Merger Consideration, less any Taxes required to be withheld and without interest, multiplied by the number of Shares so transferred. Until so surrendered, each Certificate (other than Certificates representing Dissenting Shares and Excluded Shares) or Uncertificated Share will represent solely the right to receive the aggregate Merger Consideration relating to the Shares.

(c) If payment of the Merger Consideration in respect of cancelled Shares is to be made to a Person other than the Person in whose name a surrendered Certificate or the transferred Uncertificated Share is registered, it will be a condition to such payment that (i) either the Certificate so

-3-

surrendered will be properly endorsed or otherwise be in proper form for transfer or such Uncertificated Share shall be properly transferred and (ii) the Person requesting such payment shall pay to the Paying Agent any transfer Taxes or other Taxes required by reason of such payment in a name other than that of the registered holder of the Certificate or Uncertificated Share surrendered or shall have established to the satisfaction of Merger Sub or the Paying Agent that such Tax either has been paid or is not applicable. The Merger Consideration paid upon the surrender for exchange of Certificates or transfer of Uncertificated Shares in accordance with the terms of this Article II will be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to the Shares theretofore represented by such Certificates or such Uncertificated Shares, subject, however, to the Surviving Corporation’s obligation to pay any dividends or make any other distributions, in each case with a record date (i) prior to the Effective Time that may have been declared or made by the Company on such Shares in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or (ii) prior to the date of this Agreement, and in each case which remain unpaid at the Effective Time.

(d) At the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of the Company will be closed and there will not be any further registration of transfers of any shares of the Company’s capital stock thereafter on the records of the Company. From and after the Effective Time, the holders of Shares will cease to have any rights with respect to any such Shares, except as otherwise provided for in this Agreement or by applicable Law. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates are presented to the Surviving Corporation, they will be cancelled and exchanged for Merger Consideration as provided in this Article II. No interest will accrue or be paid on any cash payable upon the surrender of a Certificate or Certificates which immediately before the Effective Time represented the Shares or transfer of Uncertificated Shares.

(e) Promptly following the date which is one year after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation will be entitled to require the Paying Agent to deliver to it any cash (including any interest received with respect to such cash), which had been made available to the Paying Agent and which has not been disbursed to holders of Certificates or Uncertificated Shares, and thereafter such holders will be entitled to look to the Surviving Corporation (subject to abandoned property, escheat or similar Laws) only as general creditors of the Surviving Corporation with respect to the Merger Consideration payable upon due surrender of their Certificates or transfer of their Uncertificated Shares, without any interest on and less any Taxes required to be withheld from such Merger Consideration. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither Parent, the Surviving Corporation nor the Paying Agent will be liable to any holder of a Certificate for Merger Consideration delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law.

(f) Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, Parent, the Surviving Corporation and the Paying Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable under this Agreement to any holder of Shares, and from amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.3, such amounts as are required to be withheld or deducted under the Code, the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, or any other provision of U.S. federal, state, local or foreign Tax Law with respect to the making of such payment. To the extent that amounts are so withheld or deducted, such withheld or deducted 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 were made.

Section 2.3 Treatment of Company Stock Plans.

(a) The Company shall take all actions necessary or desirable so that, at the Effective Time, each then-outstanding and unexercised option (the “Options”) to purchase shares of the Company Common Stock under the any of the Company Stock Plans, whether vested or unvested, shall be cancelled and converted into and shall become a right to receive, in settlement thereof, a cash payment, less any applicable Taxes require to be withheld and without interest, equal to the product, if a positive number, of (i) the excess, if any, of the Merger Consideration over the per share exercise price of such

-4-

Option and (ii) the number of shares of the Company Common Stock subject to such Option not exercised; provided that any Options for which the per share exercise price equals or exceeds the Merger Consideration shall be cancelled without any payment in respect thereof (the “Option Consideration”).

(b) The Company shall take all actions necessary or desirable so that, at the Effective Time, each then-outstanding restricted share of Company Common Stock granted under the any of the Company Stock Plans (each a “Company Restricted Share”) outstanding and subject to restrictions immediately prior to the Effective Time (whether vested or unvested), by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, will become fully vested and no longer subject to any restrictions immediately prior to, and then will be cancelled automatically at the Effective Time and will thereafter represent, and will be converted into, only the right to receive an amount of cash, less any applicable Taxes required to be withheld and without interest, equal to the Merger Consideration (the “Company Restricted Share Consideration”).

(c) All amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.3 shall be subject to any required withholding of Taxes and shall be paid without interest. Parent will, or will cause the Surviving Corporation to, pay to holders of the Options and Company Restricted Shares, the Option Consideration or Company Restricted Share Consideration, as applicable, as soon as practicable after the Effective Time and in any case no later than fifteen (15) Business Days thereafter. Parent may, in its discretion, cause the amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.3 to holders of Options or Company Restricted Shares to be delivered through the Company’s ordinary payroll system in lieu of delivery a check or making a wire transfer to such holder.

(d) Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall obtain all necessary consents and/or releases from the holders of Options and/or Company Restricted Shares under any of the Company Stock Plans and take all such other lawful action as may be necessary (which include satisfying the requirements of Rule 16b-3(e) promulgated under the Exchange Act, without incurring any liability in connection therewith) to provide for and give effect to the transactions contemplated by this Section 2.3. Except as otherwise agreed to in writing by the parties hereto after the date hereof, the Company will ensure that: (i) the Company Stock Plans will terminate as of the Effective Time; and (ii) no participant in any of the Company Stock Plans shall have any right under any such Company Stock Plan to acquire (directly or indirectly), at or any time after the Effective Time, any capital stock of the Company, the Surviving Corporation or any other Person.

(e) Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause any dispositions of Equity Interests (including derivative securities) in connection with this Agreement by each individual who is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act to be approved by the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Company Board”) or a committee of two or more non-employee directors of the Company (as such term is defined in Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act). Such approval shall specify: (A) the name of each officer or director, (B) the number of securities to be disposed of for each named person, and (C) that the approval is granted for purposes of exempting the transaction under Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act.

Section 2.4 Dissenting Shares.

(a) 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 holders who have not voted in favor of or consented to the Merger and who have properly demanded and perfected their rights to be paid the fair value of such Shares in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL (the “Dissenting Shares”) shall not be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration, and the holders thereof shall be entitled to only such rights as are granted by Section 262 of the DGCL; provided,

-5-

however, that if any such stockholder of the Company shall fail to perfect or shall effectively waive, withdraw or lose such stockholder’s rights under Section 262 of the DGCL, such stockholder’s Shares in respect of which such stockholder would otherwise be entitled to receive fair value under Section 262 of the DGCL shall thereupon be deemed to have been converted, at the Effective Time, into the right to receive the Merger Consideration as provided in Section 2.1(a), less any applicable Taxes required to withheld and without any interest thereon, upon surrender of the Certificate or Certificates representing such Shares, or transfer of the Uncertificated Share or Shares, pursuant to Section 2.2.

(b) The Company shall give Parent (i) prompt written notice of any notice (whether written or oral) received by the Company of the intent of any holder of Shares to demand the fair value of any Shares, any written demand for appraisal, any withdrawals thereof and any instruments served pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL and received by the Company and (ii) the opportunity to direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to the exercise of dissenters’ rights under Section 262 of the DGCL. The Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of Parent or as otherwise required by an Order, make any payment with respect to any such exercise of dissenters’ rights or offer to settle or settle any such demands or extend or waive the deadline or other time period applicable to any dissenters’ rights; provided, however, that the Company shall give Parent advance written notice of the requirement to make any payment pursuant to an Order prior to making such payment.

Section 2.5 Subsequent Actions. If, at any time after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall consider or be advised that any deeds, bills of sale, assignments, assurances or any other actions or things are necessary or desirable to vest, perfect or confirm of record or otherwise in the Surviving Corporation, its right, title or interest in, to or under any of the rights, properties or assets of either of the Company or Merger Sub acquired or to be acquired by the Surviving Corporation as a result of, or in connection with, the Merger or otherwise to carry out the intentions of this Agreement, the officers and directors of the Surviving Corporation shall be authorized to execute and deliver, in the name and on behalf of either the Company or Merger Sub, all such deeds, bills of sale, assignments and assurances and to take and do, in the name and on behalf of each of such corporations or otherwise, all such other actions and things as may be necessary or desirable to vest, perfect or confirm any and all right, title and interest in, to and under such rights, properties or assets in the Surviving Corporation or otherwise to carry out the intentions of this Agreement.

Section 2.6 Adjustments. If, during the period between the date hereof and the Effective Time, any change in the Equity Interests or number of Equity Interests specified in Section 3.4(a) shall occur, by reason of any reclassification, recapitalization, stock split or combination, reverse stock split, reorganization, exchange or readjustment of shares or otherwise, or any stock dividend thereon with a record date during such period (including any dividend or distribution of securities convertible into capital stock), but excluding any change that results from any exercise of Options or the vesting of Company Restricted Shares, then the Merger Consideration, any other amounts payable pursuant to this Agreement, all references in this Agreement to specified numbers of Equity Interests affected thereby, and all calculations provided for that are based upon numbers of Equity Interests (or trading prices therefor) affected thereby, shall be equitably adjusted to the extent necessary to provide the parties hereto the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such change or event.

Section 2.7 Lost Certificates. In the event that any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the holder’s compliance with the reasonable replacement requirements established by the Paying Agent (including, if required by the Paying Agent or Parent, the posting by such holder of a bond in such amount as the Paying Agent or Parent may direct, as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate), the Paying Agent shall deliver in exchange for the lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate the applicable Merger Consideration payable in respect of the Shares represented by the Certificate pursuant to this Article II.

ARTICLE III

Except as set forth in the disclosure letter of the Company addressed to Parent and Merger Sub, dated as of the date hereof and delivered to Parent and Merger Sub concurrently with the parties’ execution of this Agreement (the “Company Disclosure Letter”) (it being understood that (i) the Company Disclosure Letter shall be arranged in sections and subsections corresponding to - and using the same section and subsection numbering as - the sections and subsections contained in this Article III and (ii) the disclosures in any particular section or subsection of the Company Disclosure Letter shall qualify the applicable representations and warranties in the corresponding section or subsection of this Article III and, in addition, the representations and warranties in other sections or subsections in this Article III to the extent it is reasonably and readily apparent on the face of such disclosures that such disclosures are applicable to such other sections or subsections, and (ii) the inclusion of any information in the Company Disclosure Letter shall not be deemed to be an admission or acknowledgment, in and of itself, that such information is required by the terms hereof to be disclosed, is material or has resulted in a Material Adverse Effect on the Company or is outside the ordinary course of business or not consistent with past practice), the Company represents and warrants to Parent and Merger Sub as of the date hereof and as of the Closing as follows:

(i) (A) the Company may (1) engage in negotiations or discussions with any Third Party and its Representatives that has made after the date of this Agreement a bona fide, unsolicited written Acquisition Proposal that the Company Board determines in good faith (after consultation with its outside legal counsel and financial advisors) constitutes, or would reasonably be expected to result in or lead to, a Superior Proposal, and (2) thereafter furnish or make available to such Third Party and its Representatives and financing sources non-public information relating to the Company and any of its Subsidiaries pursuant to a confidentiality agreement with such Third Party on terms and conditions substantially the same as those contained in that certain confidentiality letter agreement dated January 17, 2013 by and between the Company and Xxxxx Instruments Europe GmbH & Co.

For purposes of this Agreement, “Superior Proposal” means an Acquisition Proposal (except all references in the definition hereunder of “Acquisition Proposal” to “15%” shall be replaced by “50%”) which did not result from or arise in connection with a breach of this Section 5.2 by the Company Board or the Company or any of its Representatives and which the Company Board determines in good faith, after considering the advice of outside legal counsel and its financial advisors and taking into account all the terms and conditions of such Acquisition Proposal, (i) if accepted by the Company, is reasonably likely to be consummated promptly with cash on hand or non-contingent financing that would reasonably be expected to be available to the Person making the Acquisition Proposal, and (ii) would result in a transaction that is more favorable to the Company’s stockholders from a financial point of view than the Merger.

(a) Subject to the last sentence of this Section 5.7(b), for a period of six years following the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall, and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, comply with all obligations of the Company that were in existence or in effect as of the Effective Time, under Law, its certificate of incorporation, bylaws or by contract, in each case relating to the exculpation, indemnification and advancement of expenses to any current or former officer or director of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any Person who becomes a director or officer of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries prior to the Effective Time (the “Indemnified Persons”). Each Indemnified Person, and his or her heirs and legal representatives, is intended to be a third party beneficiary of this Section 5.7 and may specifically enforce its terms. This Section 5.7 shall not limit or otherwise adversely affect any rights any Indemnified Person may have under any agreement with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, under the Company’s or any such Subsidiary’s certificate of incorporation, bylaws or other organization documents or otherwise under applicable Law.

Prior to the Effective Time, notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, the Company may, without Parent’s prior consent, purchase a “tail” prepaid policy on the Current Policy Coverage at a cost per year covered for such tail policy not to exceed the Maximum Amount, so long as such “tail” policy satisfies the provisions of this Section 5.7(b).

To the extent that transfers of any permits issued by any Governmental Entity are required as a result of the execution of this Agreement or the consummation of the Transactions, the Company, Parent and Merger Sub shall use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to effect such transfers.

(c) The Company and Parent shall take all reasonable actions necessary to file, as promptly as practicable, but in any event no later than twenty (20) Business Days after the date of this Agreement, any required notifications under the HSR Act or foreign equivalent and to respond, as promptly as practicable, to any inquiries received from the Federal Trade Commission and the Antitrust Division of the DOJ for additional information or documentation and to respond, as promptly as practicable, to all inquiries and requests received from any state Attorney General or other Governmental Entity in connection with antitrust matters.

(d) Each of Parent and the Company shall use all reasonable efforts to resolve such objections, if any, as may be asserted by any Governmental Entity with respect to the Transactions under the HSR Act, the Xxxxxxx Act, as amended, the Xxxxxxx Act, as amended, the Federal Trade Commission Act, as amended, and any other United States federal or state or foreign Laws that are designed to

-35-

prohibit, restrict or regulate actions having the purpose or effect of monopolization or restraint of trade (collectively, “Antitrust Laws”). In connection therewith, if any Action is instituted (or threatened to be instituted) challenging any of the Transactions as violative of any Antitrust Laws, each of Parent and the Company shall cooperate and use all reasonable efforts to vigorously contest and resist any such Action, and to have vacated, lifted, reversed, or overturned any decree, judgment, injunction or other order whether temporary, preliminary or permanent, that is in effect and that prohibits, prevents, or restricts consummation of the Merger or any other Transactions, including by vigorously pursuing all available avenues of administrative and judicial appeal unless, by mutual agreement, Parent and the Company decide that litigation is not in their respective best interests. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Agreement, nothing in this Section 6.3(d) shall limit the right of any party hereto to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1, so long as such party hereto has, up to the time of termination, complied in all material respects with its obligations under this Section 6.3(d). Each of Parent and the Company shall use all reasonable efforts to take such action as may be required to cause the expiration of the waiting periods under the HSR Act or other Antitrust Laws with respect to the Transactions as promptly as possible after the execution of this Agreement.

(e) For the avoidance of doubt, a party’s reasonable efforts shall not be deemed or interpreted to include: (i) proposing, negotiating, committing to or effecting, by consent decree, hold separate order, or otherwise, the sale, divestiture, license or disposition of businesses, product lines or assets of such party or any of its Subsidiaries or other Affiliates or (ii) in the case of Parent or Merger Sub, the taking of (or committing to take) actions that would be expected to limit Parent’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ or Affiliates’ freedom of action with respect to, or its or any of their ability to retain, one or more of the businesses, product lines or assets of the Company, Parent or any of their respective Subsidiaries or other Affiliates.

Section 6.4 Notification of Certain Matters.

(a) During the period prior to Closing or any earlier termination of this Agreement in accordance with Article VIII, the Company shall promptly notify Parent in writing of any of (i) any event, condition, fact or circumstance that occurs, arises or exists after the date of this Agreement and that would or reasonably could be expected to cause or constitute a material inaccuracy in any representation or warranty made by the Company in this Agreement, and/or (ii) any material breach of any covenant, obligation or other agreement of the Company in this Agreement, in each case (of any of the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii)) that would make the timely satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article VII impossible or reasonably unlikely or that has had or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No notification given to Parent pursuant to this Section 6.4 shall limit or otherwise affect any of the representations, warranties, covenants or obligations of the Company contained in this Agreement.

(b) During the period prior to Closing or any earlier termination of this Agreement in accordance with Article VIII, Parent shall promptly notify the Company in writing of any of (i) any representation or warranty made by Parent in this Agreement becoming untrue or inaccurate, and (ii) any material breach of any covenant, obligation or other agreement of Parent or Merger Sub in this Agreement, in each case (of any of the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii)) that would make the timely satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article VII impossible or reasonably unlikely. No notification given to the Company pursuant to this Section 6.4 shall limit or otherwise affect any of the representations, warranties, covenants or obligations of Parent or Merger Sub contained in this Agreement.

-36-

Section 6.5 Access; Confidentiality.

(a) Subject to the Confidentiality Agreement and applicable Law relating to the sharing of information, the Company agrees to (i) provide Parent and its Representatives, from time to time prior to the earlier of the Effective Time or the termination of this Agreement in accordance with this Agreement, reasonable access upon prior notice during normal business hours to the offices, properties, books and records of the Company and its Subsidiaries, (ii) furnish to Parent and its Representatives such financial and operating data and other information (in each case, to the extent in the actual possession of the Company or its Subsidiaries) as any of such Persons may reasonably request, and (iii) instruct its employees, legal counsel, financial advisors, auditors and other Representatives to reasonably cooperate with Parent in its investigation of the Company and its Subsidiaries. Any investigation pursuant to this Section shall be conducted in such manner as to be reasonably non-invasive and not to interfere unreasonably (x) with the conduct of the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries and (y) with the timely discharge by the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ employees of their duties. The Company shall be entitled to have a Representative accompany Parent, Merger Sub and their respective Representatives at all times.

(b) Parent shall, and shall cause its Affiliates and Representatives, to hold any non-public information received from the Company, its Affiliates or Representatives, directly or indirectly, in accordance with the Confidentiality Agreement, and Parent shall use, and shall cause its Affiliates and Representatives to use, any non-public information received from the Company or any of its Affiliates or Representatives only for the purposes of considering or furthering the Transactions and in accordance with the Confidentiality Agreement.

KG (an affiliate of Parent) (such letter of intent being the “Letter of Intent”), and Company shall use, and shall cause its Affiliates and Representatives to use, any non-public information received from Parent, Merger Sub or any of their respective Affiliates or Representatives only for the purpose of furthering the Transactions and in accordance with the Letter of Intent.

(c) Notwithstanding Section 6.5(a) or Section 6.5(b), neither the Company nor its Subsidiaries shall be required to provide access to or to disclose any information (i) where such access or disclosure reasonably would be expected to jeopardize the attorney-client privilege or work product privilege of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or contravene any Law or (ii) to the extent that outside counsel to the Company advises that such access or disclosure should not be permitted or made in order to ensure compliance with any applicable Law.

(d) Parent agrees to indemnify, defend and hold the Company and its Subsidiaries harmless from any and all threatened or pending Actions or investigations and any and all liabilities, including reasonable costs and expenses for the loss, injury to or death of any Parent Representative, to the extent resulting directly from the intentional or negligent action of any of Parent or Parent’s Representatives during any visit to the business or property sites of the Company or its Subsidiaries.

Section 6.6 Publicity. The initial press release with respect to the execution of this Agreement shall be a joint press release reasonably acceptable to Parent and the Company, except as either party reasonably believes, after receiving the advice of outside legal counsel and after informing the other party, another form of press release may be required by Law or by any listing agreement with a national securities exchange or trading market. Thereafter, so long as this Agreement is in effect, neither the Company, Parent nor any of their respective Affiliates shall issue or cause the publication of any press release or other announcement with respect to this Agreement or the Transactions without the prior

-37-

consultation of the other party, except pursuant to Section 5.2(b) or as such party reasonably believes, after receiving the advice of outside legal counsel and after informing all other parties to this Agreement, another form of press release may be required by Law or by any listing agreement with a national securities exchange or trading market.

(a) If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to and in accordance with Section 8.1, this Agreement shall become void and of no effect with no liability on the part of any party hereto (or any stockholder, director, officer, employee, agent, consultant or representative of such party) to the other party hereto except as set forth in this Section 8.2; provided, however, that the provisions of Section 6.5(b), Section 6.6, this Section 8.2, Article IX and Article X hereof and the provisions of the Confidentiality Agreement and the confidentiality provisions of the Letter of Intent shall survive such termination; and provided, further, that nothing herein shall be deemed to limit the liability of any party hereto for such party’s fraud in connection with this Agreement.

(b) Company Termination Fee.

(i) If this Agreement is terminated (A) by the Company (1) in accordance with Section 8.1(d)(i), or (2) in accordance with Section 8.1(b)(i) at any time after an Adverse Recommendation Change shall have occurred, or (B) by Parent (1) in accordance with Section 8.1(c)(i), Section 8.1(c)(ii), Section 8.1(c)(iii)(B), Section 8.1(c)(iv) or Section 8.1(c)(v), or (2) in accordance with Section 8.1(b) at any time after an Adverse Recommendation Change shall have occurred, then, immediately upon such termination, the Company shall pay to Parent in immediately available funds an amount equal to $250,000.00 (the “Company Termination Fee”).

(ii) In the event that (A) this Agreement is terminated under Section 8.1(b)(i) before an Adverse Recommendation Change shall have occurred but following receipt by the Company of an Acquisition Proposal, and (B) within nine (9) months after the date of such termination, the Company closes, with any party directly or indirectly involved with such Acquisition Proposal, any transaction covered by any of clauses (i) through (iii) of the definition herein of Acquisition Proposal, the Company shall pay to Parent the Company Termination Fee within three (3) days of such closing. For purposes of this Section 8.2(b)(ii) references in the definition of “Acquisition Proposal” to “15%” shall be replaced by “a majority.”

(iii) Except in the case of fraud or in the case of any breach of the Company’s confidentiality obligations hereunder or under the Letter of Intent or under the Confidentiality Agreement, the Company Termination Fee paid in accordance herewith shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of Parent and Merger Sub with respect to or arising from any termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Article VIII.

(i) If this Agreement is terminated by the Company in accordance with Section 8.1(d)(ii) or Section 8.1(d)(iii), and at such time the Company is not in breach of this Agreement, then within five (5) Business Days of written notice of termination from the Company, Parent shall pay to the Company in immediately available funds an amount equal to Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000) (the “Parent Termination Fee”).

(ii) Except in the case of fraud or in the case of any breach of Parent’s and Merger Sub’s confidentiality obligations hereunder or under the Letter of Intent or under the Confidentiality Agreement, the Parent Termination Fee paid in accordance herewith shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Company with respect to or arising from any termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Article VIII or any breach by Parent or Merger Sub of this Agreement. In furtherance and not in limitation of the preceding sentence, except in the case of fraud or in the case of any breach of Parent’s and Merger Sub’s confidentiality obligations hereunder or under the Letter of Intent or under the Confidentiality Agreement, payment of the Parent Termination Fee shall preclude the Company from pursuing any other rights or remedies

-43-

against Parent, Merger Sub or any Affiliate of either of them, including any equitable remedies or specific performance, relating to termination of this Agreement or any breach by Parent or Merger Sub of this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event that the Parent Termination Fee is due to the Company, then the Company shall be entitled to only one such fee, even if the Company has multiple grounds for terminating this Agreement under or in accordance with Section 8.1(d)(ii) or Section 8.1(d)(iii).

(d) Other Costs and Expenses. Parent and the Company acknowledge that the agreements contained in Section 8.2 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and that, without these agreements, Parent, Merger Sub and the Company would not enter into this Agreement. Accordingly, if either the Company or Parent fails promptly to pay any amount due pursuant to this Section 8.2, the Company or Parent, as applicable, shall also pay any reasonable costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by the Parent or the Company, as applicable, in connection with any Action to enforce this Agreement, together with interest on the amount of any unpaid fee, cost or expense at the publicly announced Wall Street Journal prime rate from the date such fee, cost or expense was required to be paid to (but excluding) the payment date.
