(b) The obligation of Merger Sub to accept for payment and pay for any shares of Target Common Stock validly tendered and not validly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer will be

11.

subject to: (i) there being validly tendered in the Offer and not validly withdrawn prior to any then scheduled Expiration Time that number of shares of Target Common Stock which, together with the shares beneficially owned by Parent or Merger Sub (if any), represents at least a majority of the Target Common Stock then outstanding (determined on a fully diluted basis (which assumes conversion or exercise of all options, warrants or other securities convertible or exchangeable into Target Common Stock regardless of the conversion or exercise price, the vesting schedule or other terms and conditions thereof)) (the “Minimum Condition”), and (ii) the satisfaction, or waiver by Parent or Merger Sub, of the other conditions and requirements set forth in Section 8.01(together with the Minimum Condition, the “Offer Conditions”). Subject to the prior satisfaction of the Minimum Condition and the satisfaction, or waiver by Parent or Merger Sub, of the other Offer Conditions, Merger Sub will (and Parent will cause Merger Sub to) consummate the Offer in accordance with its terms and accept for payment and pay for all shares of Target Common Stock validly tendered and not validly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer as promptly as practicable after the Expiration Time. The Offer Price payable in respect of each share of Target Common Stock validly tendered and not validly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer will be paid net to the Selling Stockholder in cash, without interest, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement.

(c) The Offer will be made by means of an offer to purchase (the “Offer to Purchase”) that describes the terms and conditions of the Offer as set forth in this Agreement, including the Offer Conditions. Parent and Merger Sub expressly reserve the right (in their sole discretion) to waive, in whole or in part, any Offer Condition, to increase the Offer Price or to make any other changes in the terms and conditions of the Offer; provided, however, that unless otherwise provided by this Agreement or as previously approved in writing by the Target, Merger Sub will not (i) reduce the number of shares of Target Common Stock subject to the Offer, (ii) reduce the Offer Price, (iii) change, modify or waive the Minimum Condition, (iv) add to the conditions set forth in Section 8.01 or Section 8.02 or modify or change any Offer Condition in a manner adverse to any of the Target’s stockholders, (v) except as otherwise provided in this Section 2.01, extend or otherwise change the expiration date of the Offer, (vi) change the form of consideration payable in the Offer or (vii) otherwise amend, modify or supplement any of the terms of the Offer in a manner adverse to any of the Target’s stockholders.

(d) The Offer will expire at midnight (Rochester, New York time) on the date that is twenty (20) Business Days following the commencement of the Offer (the “Initial Expiration Time”) or, in the event the Initial Expiration Time has been extended pursuant to this Agreement, the date and time to which the Offer has been so extended (the Initial Expiration Time, or such later date and time to which the Initial Expiration Time has been extended pursuant to this Agreement, is referred to as the “Expiration Time”).

(e) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, and without limiting Parent’s or Merger Sub’s obligations under this Section 2.01(e), Merger Sub will extend the Offer (i) on one or more occasions for additional periods of five (5) Business Days each if on any then-scheduled Expiration Time any of the Offer Conditions have not been satisfied or, in

12.

Merger Sub’s sole discretion, waived, until such time as such condition or conditions are satisfied or waived and (ii) for any period required by applicable Law, any interpretation or position of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) or the staff thereof, or any applicable United States securities exchange on which the Target Common Stock is traded; provided, however, that in no event will Merger Sub be required to extend the Offer (y) beyond July 31, 2013 (the “Outside Date”) or (z) if Parent is then permitted to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Article IX. Merger Sub also may extend the Offer as provided in Section 2.01(f).

(f) On the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, Merger Sub will, and Parent will cause Merger Sub to, accept and pay for (subject to any withholding of tax pursuant to Section 4.05) all shares of Target Common Stock validly tendered and not validly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer as soon as practicable after the Expiration Time. Acceptance for payment of shares of Target Common Stock pursuant to and subject to the Offer Conditions upon the Expiration Time is referred to in this Agreement as the “Offer Closing.” Merger Sub expressly reserves the right to, in its sole discretion, following the Offer Closing, extend the Offer for a “subsequent offering period” (and one or more extensions thereof) in accordance with Rule 14d-11 under the Exchange Act, and the Offer Documents may, in Merger Sub’s sole discretion, provide for such a reservation of right. Nothing contained in this Section 2.01 will affect any termination rights in Article IX. Such “subsequent offering periods,” collectively, may not exceed twenty-five (25) Business Days.

(g) Merger Sub will not terminate the Offer prior to any scheduled Expiration Time without the prior written consent of the Target except in the event that this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Article IX. If the Offer is terminated or withdrawn by Merger Sub as permitted by this Agreement, or this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Article IX prior to the acceptance for payment of the Target Common Stock tendered in the Offer, Merger Sub will promptly return, and will cause any depository acting on behalf of Merger Sub to return, all tendered Target Common Stock to the registered holders thereof.

(h) On the date of the commencement of the Offer, Parent and Merger Sub will file with the SEC a Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO with respect to the Offer (together with all amendments, supplements and exhibits thereto, the “Schedule TO”). The Schedule TO will include, as exhibits, the Offer to Purchase and a form of letter of transmittal and summary advertisement (such Schedule TO and the documents included therein pursuant to which the Offer will be made, together with any amendments and supplements thereto, the “Offer Documents”). Promptly after, but in no event more than two (2) Business Days after, the date of this Agreement, the Target will furnish to Parent and Merger Sub all information concerning the Target required by the Exchange Act to be set forth in the Offer Documents. Parent and Merger Sub will cause the Offer Documents to be filed with the SEC and disseminated to the Target’s stockholders, in each case as and to the extent required by the Exchange Act. Parent, Merger Sub and the Target will promptly correct any information provided by it for use in the Offer Documents if and to the extent that such information becomes false or misleading in any material respect or as otherwise required by applicable Law. Additionally, Parent and Merger Sub will

13.

cause the Offer Documents, as so corrected (if applicable), to be filed with the SEC and disseminated to the Target’s stockholders, in each case as and to the extent required by the Exchange Act. Parent and Merger Sub will promptly notify the Target upon the receipt of any comments from the SEC, or any request from the SEC for amendments or supplements, to the Offer Documents, and will promptly provide the Target with copies of all correspondence between them and their representatives and the SEC with respect to the Offer Documents. Prior to the filing of the Offer Documents (including any amendments or supplements thereto) with the SEC or dissemination thereof to the Target’s stockholders, or responding to any comments of the SEC with respect to the Offer Documents, Parent and Merger Sub will provide the Target and its counsel a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such Offer Documents or response, and Parent and Merger Sub will give reasonable consideration to any such comments.

(i) Parent will provide or cause to be provided to Merger Sub, on a timely basis so as to satisfy Merger Sub’s obligations under this Agreement and the Offer, the funds necessary to pay for any shares of Target Common Stock that Merger Sub becomes obligated to accept for payment, and pay for, pursuant to the Offer.

Section 2.02 Target Actions.

(a) On the date the Offer Documents are filed with the SEC, the Target will file with the SEC a Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9 with respect to the Offer in accordance with the Exchange Act (together with all amendments, supplements and exhibits thereto, the “Schedule 14D-9”) that will, subject to the provisions of Section 7.04, contain the recommendation described in Section 5.03(d). The Target will cause the Schedule 14D-9 to be disseminated to the Target’s stockholders to the extent required by the Exchange Act. Promptly after, but in no event more than two (2) Business Days, after the date of this Agreement, Parent and Merger Sub will furnish to the Target all information concerning Parent and Merger Sub required by the Exchange Act to be set forth in the Schedule 14D-9. The Target, Parent and Merger Sub will promptly correct any information provided by it for use in the Schedule 14D-9 if and to the extent that such information becomes false or misleading in any material respect or as otherwise required by applicable Law. The Target will cause the Schedule 14D-9, as so corrected (if applicable), to be filed with the SEC and disseminated to the Target’s stockholders, in each case as and to the extent required by the Exchange Act. The Target will promptly notify Parent and Merger Sub upon the receipt of any comments from the SEC, or any request from the SEC for amendments or supplements, to the Schedule 14D-9, and will promptly provide Parent and Merger Sub with copies of all correspondence between it and its representatives and the SEC with respect to the Schedule 14D-9. Prior to the filing of the Schedule 14D-9 (including any amendments or supplements thereto) with the SEC or dissemination thereof to the Target’s stockholders, or responding to any comments of the SEC with respect to the Schedule 14D-9, the Target will provide Parent, Merger Sub and their counsel a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such Schedule 14D-9 or response, and the Target will give reasonable consideration to any such comments.

14.

(b) In connection with the Offer, promptly after the date of this Agreement but in no event more than two Business Days after the date of this Agreement the Target will furnish or cause to be furnished to Parent and Merger Sub security position listings and any other available listings or computer files containing the names and addresses of the record holders or known beneficial owners of the shares of Target Common Stock as of the most recent practicable date, and will promptly furnish Parent and Merger Sub with such information and assistance (including lists of record holders or known beneficial owners of the shares of Target Common Stock, updated from time to time upon Parent’s, Merger Sub’s or either of their respective agent’s request, and the addresses and lists of security positions of such record holders or known beneficial owners) as Parent, Merger Sub or their respective agents may reasonably request for the purpose of communicating the Offer to the record holders and beneficial owners of the shares of Target Common Stock. Subject to the requirements of applicable Law, and except for such steps as are necessary to disseminate the Offer Documents and any other documents necessary to consummate the Offer, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby, Parent and Merger Sub will hold in confidence the information contained in any such labels, listing and files in accordance with the Confidentiality Agreement and will use such information only in connection with the Offer and the Merger and, if this Agreement is terminated, will promptly deliver (and will use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to cause their agents and Representatives to deliver) to the Target (or destroy) all copies and any extract or summaries of such information then in their possession or control.

Section 2.03 Directors.

(a) Effective upon the Offer Closing and from time to time thereafter, Parent will be entitled to designate the number of directors, rounded up to the next whole number, on the Target Board that equals the product of (i) the total number of directors on the Target Board (giving effect to the election of any additional directors pursuant to this Section 2.03) and (ii) the percentage that the number of shares of Target Common Stock beneficially owned by Parent and/or Merger Sub (including shares accepted for payment) bears to the total number of shares of Target Common Stock outstanding, and the Target will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause Parent’s designees to be elected or appointed to the Target Board, including by increasing the number of directors and seeking and accepting resignations of incumbent directors. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and irrespective of the calculation set forth in this Section 2.03(a), there will remain on the Target Board prior to the Effective Time at least one (1) director of the Target then in office who was not designated by Parent (the “Independent Director”). At such time, the Target will also cause individuals designated by Parent to constitute the number of members, rounded up to the next whole number, on each committee of the Target Board in the same proportion as contemplated by the first sentence of this Section 2.03(a).

(b) The Target’s obligations to appoint Parent’s designees to the Target Board will be subject to Section 14(f) of the Exchange Act and Rule 14f-1 promulgated thereunder. The Target will promptly take all actions necessary to effect the appointment of Parent’s designees,

15.

including mailing to its stockholders information with respect to the Target and its officers and directors, as Section 14(f) and Rule 14f-1 require in order to fulfill its obligations under this Section 2.03(b), which, unless Parent otherwise elects, will be mailed together with the Schedule 14D-9. Parent will supply to the Target in writing and be solely responsible for any information with respect to itself and its nominees, officers, directors and affiliates required by Section 14(f) and Rule 14f-1 and the Target’s obligations under Section 2.03(a) will be subject to the receipt of such information.

(c) Following the election or appointment of Parent’s designees pursuant to Section 2.03(a) and until the Effective Time, the approval of the Independent Director will be required to authorize (and such authorization will constitute the authorization of the Target Board and no other action on the part of the Target, including any action by any other director of the Target, will be required to authorize) (i) any termination of this Agreement by the Target, (ii) any amendment of this Agreement requiring action by the Target Board, (iii) any extension of time for performance of any obligation or action hereunder by Parent or Merger Sub, and (iv) any waiver of compliance with any of the agreements or conditions contained herein for the benefit of the Target.

Section 2.04 Top-Up Option.

(a) Subject to the satisfaction of the Minimum Condition, the Target hereby grants to Merger Sub an irrevocable option (the “Top-Up Option”), exercisable only on the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 2.04, to purchase at a price per share equal to $1.18 up to that number of newly issued shares of Target Common Stock (the “Top-Up Shares”) equal to the lowest number of shares of Target Common Stock that, when added to the number of shares of Target Common Stock owned by Parent and its Subsidiaries, including Merger Sub, at the time of exercise of the Top-Up Option, constitutes one share more than 90% of the shares of Target Common Stock outstanding immediately after the issuance of the Top-Up Shares on a fully diluted basis (which assumes conversion or exercise of all derivative securities regardless of the conversion or exercise price, the vesting schedule or other terms and conditions thereof); provided, however, that (i) the Top-Up Option will not be exercisable for a number of shares of Target Common Stock in excess of the shares of Target Common Stock authorized and unissued or held in the treasury of the Target at the time of exercise of the Top-Up Option (giving effect to the shares of Target Common Stock issuable pursuant to all then-outstanding stock options, restricted stock units and any other rights to acquire Target Common Stock as if such shares were outstanding), (ii) the exercise of the Top-Up Option and the issuance and delivery of the Top-Up Shares has not been prohibited by any Law or Order, and (iii) the issuance of the Top-Up Shares does not require approval of the Target’s stockholders under applicable Law (including the rules and regulations of any applicable United States securities exchange on which the Target Common Stock is traded). The Top-Up Option will be exercisable only once, in whole but not in part, until the later of thirty (30) days following the Offer Closing or fifteen (15) days following the conclusion of the “subsequent offering periods” under Section 2.01(f) (the “Top-Up Option Exercise Period”).

16.

(b) In the event Merger Sub wishes to exercise the Top-Up Option, Merger Sub will give the Target at least three (3) Business Days prior written notice, specifying (i) the number of shares of the Target Common Stock owned by Parent and its Subsidiaries, including Merger Sub, at the time of such notice (giving effect to the Offer Closing) and (ii) a place and a time for the closing of such purchase. The Target will, as soon as practicable following receipt of such notice, deliver written notice to Merger Sub specifying, based on the information provided by Merger Sub in its notice, the number of Top-Up Shares to be purchased by Merger Sub. At the closing of the purchase of Top-Up Shares, the aggregate purchase price owed by Merger Sub to the Target for the Top-Up Shares will be paid to the Target at Parent’s election, either (i) entirely in cash, by wire transfer of same-day funds or (ii) partially in cash by wire transfer of same-day funds of an amount equal to not less than the aggregate par value of the Top-Up Shares and partially by issuing to the Target a promissory note having a principal amount equal to the aggregate purchase price needed to exercise the Top-Up Option less the amount paid in cash, such promissory note to (A) be due and payable on or within six (6) months after the Effective Time, (B) bear simple interest at a rate of five percent (5%) per annum, (C) be full recourse to Merger Sub, and (D) contain no other material terms. The Target will cause to be issued to Merger Sub a certificate representing the Top-Up Shares or, if the Target does not then have certificated Shares, the applicable number of Book-Entry Shares. Such certificates or Book-Entry Shares may include any legends that are required by federal or state securities Laws.

(c) Parent and Merger Sub acknowledge that no Top-Up Shares issued upon exercise of the Top-Up Option will be registered under the Securities Act, and that all such shares will be issued in reliance upon an applicable exemption from registration under the Securities Act. Each of Parent and Merger Sub hereby represents and warrants to the Target that (i) Merger Sub is, and will be, upon the purchase of the Top-Up Shares, an “accredited investor,” as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D under the Securities Act, (ii) the Top-Up Shares to be acquired upon exercise of the Top-Up Option are being and will be acquired by Merger Sub for the purpose of investment and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any “distribution” thereof (within the meaning of the Securities Act), (iii) Merger Sub has such knowledge, skill and experience in business, financial and investment matters that Merger Sub is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Top-Up Shares, (iv) with the assistance of Merger Sub’s own professional advisors, to the extent that Merger Sub has deemed appropriate, Merger Sub has made its own legal, tax, accounting and financial evaluation of the merits and risks of an investment in the Top-Up Shares and the consequences of the Top-Up Option, and (v) Merger Sub has considered the suitability of the Top-Up Shares as an investment in light of its own circumstances and financial condition, and Merger Sub is able to bear the risks associated with an investment in the Top-Up Shares.

(d) Any dilutive impact on the value of the shares of Target Common Stock as a result of the issuance of the Top-Up Shares will not be taken into account in any determination of the fair value of any Dissenting Shares pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL as contemplated by Section 4.03.

Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, at the Closing, the Target, Parent and Merger Sub will cause a certificate of merger (the “Certificate of Merger”) to be executed, acknowledged and filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware in accordance with the relevant provisions of the DGCL and will make all other filings or recordings required under the DGCL. The Merger will become effective at such time as the Certificate of Merger has been duly filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware or at such later date or time as may be agreed by the Target and Parent in writing and specified in the Certificate of Merger in accordance with the DGCL (the effective time of the Merger being hereinafter referred to as the “Effective Time”).

Section 3.04 Effects of the Merger. The Merger will have the effects set forth herein and in the applicable provisions of the DGCL. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and subject thereto, from and after the Effective Time, all property, rights, privileges, immunities, powers, franchises, licenses and authority of the Target and Merger Sub will vest in the Surviving Corporation, and all debts, liabilities, obligations, restrictions and duties of each of the Target and Merger Sub will become the debts, liabilities, obligations, restrictions and duties of the Surviving Corporation.

The directors and officers of the Target, in each case, immediately prior to the Effective Time will, from and after the Effective Time, be the directors and officers, respectively, of the Surviving Corporation until their successors have been duly elected or appointed and qualified or until their earlier death, resignation or removal in accordance with the certificate of incorporation and by-laws of the Surviving Corporation.

ARTICLE IV

EFFECT OF THE MERGER ON CAPITAL STOCK

Section 4.01 Effect of the Merger on Capital Stock. At the Effective Time, as a result of the Merger and without any action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub or the Target or the holder of any capital stock of Parent, Merger Sub or the Target:

(a) Cancellation of Certain Target Common Stock. Each share of Target Common Stock that is owned by Parent, Merger Sub or the Target (as treasury stock or otherwise) or any of their respective direct or indirect wholly-owned Subsidiaries will automatically be cancelled and retired and will cease to exist, and no consideration will be delivered in exchange therefor.

(b) Conversion of Target Common Stock. Each share of Target Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than (i) shares to be cancelled and retired in accordance with Section 4.01(a), and (ii) Dissenting Shares, if any) will be converted into the right to receive, in cash and without interest, an amount equal to the Offer Price (the “Merger Consideration”). At the Effective Time, all shares of Target Common Stock will no longer be outstanding and all shares of Target Common Stock will be cancelled and retired and will cease to exist, and, subject to Section 4.03, each holder of a certificate formerly representing any such shares (each, a “Certificate”) will cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the Merger Consideration in accordance with Section 4.02.

(c) Conversion of Merger Sub Capital Stock. Each share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be converted into and become one newly issued, fully paid and non-assessable share of common stock of the Surviving Corporation.

Section 4.02 Surrender and Payment.

(a) Prior to the Effective Time, Parent will appoint an exchange agent reasonably acceptable to the Target (the “Exchange Agent”) to act as the agent for the purpose of exchanging for the Merger Consideration: (i) the Certificates, or (ii) book-entry shares which

19.

immediately prior to the Effective Time represented the shares of Target Common Stock (the “Book-Entry Shares”). On and after the Effective Time, Parent will deposit, or cause the Surviving Corporation to deposit, with the Exchange Agent, (y) sufficient funds to pay (A) the aggregate Merger Consideration that is payable in respect of all of the shares of Target Common Stock represented by the Certificates and the Book-Entry Shares, (B) the Option Consideration and (C) the Stock Award Consideration (collectively, the “Payment Fund”) in amounts and at the times necessary for such payments, and (z) an amount sufficient to pay the fees and expenses of the Exchange Agent. If for any reason (including losses) the Payment Fund is inadequate to pay the amounts to which holders of shares of Target Common Stock be entitled under Section 4.01(b) or Target Stock Options or Target Stock Awards will be entitled under Section 4.07, Parent will take all steps necessary to enable or cause the Surviving Corporation promptly to deposit in trust additional cash with the Exchange Agent sufficient to make all payments required under this Agreement, and Parent and the Surviving Corporation will in any event be liable for the payment thereof. The Payment Fund will not be used for any other purpose. The Surviving Corporation will pay all charges and expenses, including those of the Exchange Agent, in connection with the exchange of shares of Target Common Stock for the Merger Consideration. Promptly after the Effective Time, Parent will send, or will cause the Exchange Agent to send, to each record holder of shares of Target Common Stock at the Effective Time, a letter of transmittal and instructions (which will specify that the delivery will be effected, and risk of loss and title will pass, only upon proper delivery of the Certificates or transfer of the Book-Entry Shares to the Exchange Agent) for use in such exchange.

(b) Each holder of shares of Target Common Stock that have been converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration will be entitled to receive the Merger Consideration in respect of the Target Common Stock represented by a Certificate or Book-Entry Share upon (i) surrender to the Exchange Agent of a Certificate, together with a duly completed and validly executed letter of transmittal and such other documents as may reasonably be requested by the Exchange Agent, or (ii) receipt of an “agent’s message” by the Exchange Agent (or such other evidence, if any, of transfer as the Exchange Agent may reasonably request) in the case of Book-Entry Shares. Until so surrendered or transferred, as the case may be, and subject to the terms set forth in Section 4.03, each such Certificate or Book-Entry Share, as applicable, will represent after the Effective Time for all purposes only the right to receive the Merger Consideration payable in respect thereof. No interest will be paid or accrued on the cash payable upon the surrender or transfer of any Certificate or Book-Entry Share. Upon payment of the Merger Consideration pursuant to the provisions of this Article IV, each Certificate or Certificates so surrendered will immediately be cancelled.

(c) If any portion of the Merger Consideration is to be paid to a Person other than the Person in whose name the surrendered Certificate or the transferred Book-Entry Share, as applicable, is registered, it will be a condition to such payment that (i) such Certificate will be properly endorsed or will otherwise be in proper form for transfer or such Book-Entry Share will be properly transferred, and (ii) the Person requesting such payment will pay to the Exchange Agent any transfer or other Tax required as a result of such payment to a Person other than the registered holder of such Certificate or Book-Entry Share, as applicable, or establish to the reasonable satisfaction of the Exchange Agent that such Tax has been paid or is not payable.

20.

(d) All Merger Consideration paid upon the surrender of Certificates or transfer of Book-Entry Shares in accordance with the terms hereof will be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to the shares of Target Common Stock formerly represented by such Certificate or Book-Entry Shares, and from and after the Effective Time, there will be no further registration of transfers of shares of Target Common Stock on the stock transfer books of the Surviving Corporation. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates or Book-Entry Shares are presented to the Surviving Corporation, they will be cancelled and exchanged for the Merger Consideration provided for, and in accordance with the procedures set forth, in this Article IV.

(e) Any portion of the Payment Fund that remains unclaimed by the holders of shares of Target Common Stock nine (9) months after the Effective Time will be returned to Parent, upon demand, and any such holder who has not exchanged shares of Target Common Stock for the Merger Consideration in accordance with this Section 4.02 prior to that time will thereafter look only to Parent for payment of the Merger Consideration. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Parent shall not be liable to any holder of shares of Target Common Stock for any amounts paid to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Laws. Any amounts remaining unclaimed by holders of shares of Target Common Stock three (3) years after the Effective Time (or such earlier date immediately prior to the time when the amounts would otherwise escheat to or become property of any Governmental Entity) shall become, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, the property of Parent free and clear of any claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.

(f) After the Effective Time, any portion of the Merger Consideration made available to the Exchange Agent in respect of any Dissenting Shares will be returned to Parent, upon demand.

Section 4.03 Dissenting Shares. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, including Section 4.01, shares of Target Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than shares cancelled in accordance with Section 4.01(a)) and held by a holder who has not voted in favor of adoption of this Agreement or consented thereto in writing and who has properly exercised appraisal rights of such shares in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL (such shares of Target Common Stock being referred to collectively as the “Dissenting Shares” until such time as such holder fails to perfect or otherwise loses such holder’s appraisal rights under the DGCL with respect to such shares) will not be converted into a right to receive the Merger Consideration, but instead will be entitled to only such rights as are granted by Section 262 of the DGCL; provided, however, that if, after the Effective Time, such holder fails to perfect, withdraws or loses such holder’s right to appraisal pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL, or if a court of competent jurisdiction determines that such holder is not entitled to the relief provided by Section 262 of the DGCL, such shares of Target Common Stock will be treated as if they had been converted as of the Effective Time into the

21.

right to receive the Merger Consideration in accordance with Section 4.01(b), without interest thereon, upon surrender of such Certificate formerly representing such share or transfer of such Book-Entry Share, as the case may be. The Target will provide Parent prompt written notice of any demands received by the Target for appraisal of shares of Target Common Stock, any withdrawal of any such demand, and any other demand, notice or instrument delivered to the Target prior to the Effective Time pursuant to the DGCL that relates to such demand, and Parent will have the opportunity and right to direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demands. Except with the prior written consent of Parent, the Target will not make any payment with respect to, or settle or offer to settle, any such demands.

Section 4.04 Adjustments. Without limiting the other provisions of this Agreement, if at any time during the period between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time, any change in the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Target occurs (other than the issuance of additional shares of capital stock of the Target as permitted by this Agreement), including by reason of any reclassification, recapitalization, stock split (including reverse stock split) or combination, exchange or readjustment of shares, or any stock dividend or distribution paid in stock, the Offer Price and the Merger Consideration (as applicable) and any other amounts payable pursuant to this Agreement will be appropriately adjusted to reflect such change.

Section 4.05 Withholding Rights. Each of the Exchange Agent, Parent, Merger Sub and the Surviving Corporation will be entitled to deduct and withhold from the Offer Price and the Merger Consideration, as the case may be, otherwise payable to any Person pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as may be required to be deducted and withheld with respect to the making of such payment under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and applicable Treasury Regulations issued pursuant thereto (the “Code”), or any provision of state, local or foreign Tax law. All amounts withheld will be remitted to the United States Treasury or the applicable state, local or foreign taxing authority. To the extent that amounts are so deducted and withheld by the Exchange Agent, Parent, Merger Sub or the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, such amounts will be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which the Exchange Agent, Parent, Merger Sub or the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, made such deduction and withholding.

Section 4.06 Lost Certificates. If any Certificate has been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by Parent, the posting by such Person of a bond, in such reasonable amount as Parent may direct, as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, the Exchange Agent will issue, in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate, the Merger Consideration to be paid in respect of the shares of Target Common Stock formerly represented by such Certificate as contemplated under this Article IV.

Section 4.07 Treatment of Stock Options and Other Stock-Based Compensation.

(a) The Target will take all requisite action so that, at the Effective Time, each option to acquire shares of Target Common Stock (each, a “Target Stock Option”) that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether or not then vested or exercisable, will be, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub, the Target, the holder of that Target Stock Option or any other Person, cancelled and converted into the right to receive from Parent and the Surviving Corporation, as promptly as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time, an amount in cash, without interest, equal to the product of (i) the aggregate number of shares of Target Common Stock subject to such Target Stock Option, multiplied by (ii) the excess, if any, of the Merger Consideration over the per share exercise price under such Target Stock Option (the aggregate amount, the “Option Consideration”), less any Taxes required to be withheld in accordance with Section 4.05.

(c) At or prior to the Effective Time, the Target, the Target Board and the compensation committee of such board, as applicable, will adopt any resolutions and take any actions (including obtaining any employee consents) that may be necessary to effectuate the provisions of Section 4.07(a)-(b).

(b) If at any time the Target or any of its Representatives is in receipt of a bona fide written Takeover Proposal from any Person, then the Target will promptly provide to Parent (and in any event within twenty-four (24) hours) (i) a copy of any Takeover Proposal made in writing provided to the Target, and the identity of the Person making the Takeover Proposal and (ii) a written summary of the material terms of any such Takeover Proposal not made in writing.

(c) Target will keep Parent reasonably informed on a current basis of any material developments, discussions or negotiations regarding any Takeover Proposal on a prompt basis and will notify Parent of the status of such Takeover Proposal. The Target will not enter into any agreement with any Person subsequent to the date hereof which prohibits the Target from providing any information to Parent in accordance with this Section 7.04.

45.

(d) Except as expressly permitted by this Section 7.04(d) or Section 7.04(e), neither the Target Board nor any committee thereof shall (i) fail to make, withdraw, amend, modify or qualify, in a manner adverse to Parent or Merger Sub, the Target Board Recommendation, or recommend a Takeover Proposal, or make any public statement inconsistent with the Target Board Recommendation, or resolve or agree to take any of the foregoing actions (any of the foregoing a “Target Adverse Recommendation Change”), or (ii) authorize, cause or permit the Target to enter into any agreement in principle, letter of intent, term sheet, acquisition agreement, merger agreement, option agreement, joint venture agreement, partnership agreement or other Contract, in each case relating to any Takeover Proposal (each, a “Target Acquisition Agreement”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if prior to the time the consummation of the Offer, but not after, the Target receives a bona fide written Takeover Proposal that was not solicited after the Agreement Effective Date that the Target Board determines in good faith, upon recommendation of the Special Committee, constitutes a Superior Proposal, after (in each case) giving effect to all of the adjustments to the terms of this Agreement which may be offered by Parent, then the Target Board may (y) make a Target Adverse Recommendation Change and (z) terminate this Agreement and enter into a Target Acquisition Agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal; provided, however, that the Target Board may not make a Target Adverse Recommendation Change unless: (A) such Superior Proposal has been made and has not been withdrawn and continues to be a Superior Proposal, (B) the Target has given Parent at least three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice of its intention to take such action (which notice will specify the material terms and conditions of any such Superior Proposal (including the identity of the party making such Superior Proposal)), and (C) prior to effecting such Target Adverse Recommendation Change or terminating this Agreement to enter into a Target Acquisition Agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal, the Target has negotiated, and has caused its Representatives to negotiate, in good faith with Parent during such notice period to the extent Parent wishes to negotiate, to enable Parent to revise the terms of this Agreement such that it would cause such Superior Proposal to no longer constitute a Superior Proposal. If the Target terminates this Agreement in accordance with this Section 7.04(d), then the Target will pay to Parent the Termination Fee as provided in Section 9.06(b).

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, prior to the time the Offer is consummated, but not after, the Target may make a Target Adverse Recommendation Change in response to an Intervening Event if the Target Board determines in good faith that the failure to take such action would reasonably be expected to cause the Target Board to be in breach of its fiduciary duties under applicable Law.

(f) Nothing contained herein will prevent the Target Board from disclosing to the Target’s stockholders a position contemplated by Rule 14d-9 and Rule 14e-2(a) promulgated under the Exchange Act with regard to a Takeover Proposal, if the Target determines that failure to disclose such position would constitute a violation of applicable Law.

Section 7.05 Stockholders Meeting; Preparation of Proxy Materials.

(a) If the approval of this Agreement by the Target’s stockholders is required under applicable Law, subject to the terms set forth in this Agreement the Target will take all action necessary to duly call, give notice of, convene and hold the Target Stockholders Meeting as soon as reasonably practicable after the end of the Top-Up Option Exercise Period or, if the Top-Up Option is waived by Parent, after the Offer Closing, and, in connection therewith, the Target will mail the Target Proxy Statement to the holders of Target Common Stock in advance of such meeting. Except to the extent that the Target Board affects a Target Adverse Recommendation Change as permitted by Section 7.04, the Target Proxy Statement will include the Target Board Recommendation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if following the Offer and any subsequent offering period and the exercise, if any, of the Top-Up Option, Parent, Merger Sub and their respective Subsidiaries hold, in the aggregate, at least ninety percent (90%) of the outstanding shares of Target Common Stock, the parties hereto will take all necessary and appropriate action, including with respect to the transfer to Merger Sub of any shares of Target Common Stock held by Parent or any other Subsidiary of Parent, to cause the Merger to become effective as soon as practicable after the Offer Closing without the Target Stockholders Meeting in accordance with Section 253 of the DGCL.

(b) If the adoption of this Agreement by the Target’s stockholders is required by applicable Law, as soon as practicable following the end of the Top-Up Exercise Period or, if the Top-Up Option is waived by Parent, following the Offer Closing, the Target will prepare and file the Target Proxy Statement or Information Statement with the SEC. Parent, Merger Sub and the Target will cooperate and consult with each other in the preparation of the Target Proxy Statement or Information Statement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each of Parent and Merger Sub will promptly furnish to the Target all information concerning Parent and Merger Sub required by the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder to be set forth in the Target Proxy Statement or Information Statement, as applicable. The Target will not file the Target Proxy Statement or Information Statement, or any amendment or supplement thereto, without providing Parent, Merger Sub and their counsel a reasonable opportunity to review and comment thereon (which comments will be reasonably considered by the Target). The Target will use its commercially reasonable efforts to resolve, and each party

47.

will consult and cooperate with the other party in resolving, all SEC comments with respect to the Target Proxy Statement or Information Statement, as applicable, as promptly as practicable after receipt thereof and to cause the Target Proxy Statement or Information Statement, as applicable, in definitive form to be cleared by the SEC and mailed to the Target’s stockholders as promptly as reasonably practicable following filing with the SEC. The Target will consult with Parent prior to responding to SEC comments with respect to the preliminary Target Proxy Statement or Information Statement. Each of Parent, Merger Sub and the Target will promptly correct any information provided by it for use in the Target Proxy Statement or Information Statement if and to the extent that such information becomes false or misleading in any material respect, and the Target will promptly prepare and mail to its stockholders an amendment or supplement setting forth such correction. The Target will as soon as reasonably practicable (i) notify Parent of the receipt of any comments from the SEC with respect to the Target Proxy Statement or Information Statement and any request by the SEC for any amendment to the Target Proxy Statement or Information Statement or for additional information and (ii) provide Parent with copies of all written correspondence between the Target and its Representatives and the SEC with respect to the Target Proxy Statement or Information Statement.

Section 7.06 Notices of Certain Events. The Target will notify Parent and Merger Sub, and Parent and Merger Sub will notify the Target, promptly of (i) any material notice or other material communication from any Governmental Entity in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and (ii) any Legal Actions commenced against the Target or Parent or its Subsidiaries, including Merger Sub, as applicable, that are related to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. In addition, the Target will notify Parent and Merger Sub promptly of any change or event having, or which is reasonably likely to have, a Target Material Adverse Effect or which would reasonably be likely to result in the failure of any of the Offer Conditions to be satisfied. In no event will the delivery of any notice by a party pursuant to this Section 7.06 limit or otherwise affect the respective rights, obligations, representations, warranties, covenants or agreements of the parties or the conditions to the obligations of the parties under this Agreement.

Section 7.07 Employees; Benefit Plans.

(a) All Target Employees who prior to the Effective Time are employees of the Target will remain employees of the Surviving Corporation immediately following the Effective Time, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will not change that status.

(b) For the twelve (12) month period immediately following the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to provide to each Target Employee who remains employed by the Surviving Corporation substantially similar compensation and for the remainder of the current benefit year employee benefits as those in effect for each such Target Employee as of immediately prior to the Effective Time. Additionally, the Surviving Corporation will not relocate any Target Employee outside of a reasonable commuting distance from the Target Employee’s home for at least twelve (12) months after the Effective Time.

48.

(c) To the extent that any Target Employee will participate in any employee benefit plan, arrangement or policy maintained by Parent or any of its Subsidiaries following the Effective Time: (i) such Target Employee will receive credit for all purposes (other than accrual of benefits under a defined benefit pension plan) for service with the Target, (ii) with respect to medical, dental, vision or other health benefits or disability or life insurance benefits, Parent and its Subsidiaries will use their best efforts to cause any and all pre-existing condition limitations, waiting periods and evidence of insurability requirements to be waived with respect to such Target Employees and eligible dependents, (iii) Parent and its Subsidiaries will use their commercially reasonable efforts to provide credit for any co-payments, deductible payments, premium amounts and similar payments or expenses incurred by the Target Employees in the plan year that includes the Effective Time.

(d) If Parent or any of its Subsidiaries terminates the employment of any Target Employee within six (6) months after the Effective Time other than for cause or due to the death or disability of an employee, Parent and its Subsidiaries will pay such Target Employee as soon as practicable after termination a lump sum amount equal to (i) the number of weeks remaining until the end of such six (6) month period multiplied by such Target Employee’s weekly salary plus (ii) such amount of severance he or she would receive in accordance with Target’s past practices; provided, however, that no Target Employee who is entitled to severance under a separate arrangement with the Target will be entitled to any payments under this Section 7.07(d) and, instead, will only be entitled to the benefits provided under such arrangement.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, nothing contained in this Agreement, whether express or implied, will (i) constitute or create an employment agreement with any employee of the Target, Parent or any of its Subsidiaries, (ii) be construed to establish, amend or modify any benefit plan, program, agreement or arrangement, (iii) other than as required by applicable Law, obligate Parent or any of its Subsidiaries to (A) maintain any particular benefit plan or (B) retain the employment of any particular employee, or (iv) give any third-party the right to enforce any of the provisions of this Agreement, except as expressly provided in Section 7.08.

(f) In the event Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and will not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity in such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in either such case, proper provision will be made so that the successors and assigns of Parent or the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, will assume all of the obligations set forth in this Section 7.07.

Section 7.08 Directors’ and Officers’ Indemnification and Insurance.

(a) Parent and Merger Sub will cause all rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses and exculpation by the Target now existing in favor of each Person who is now, or has been at any time prior to the date hereof or who becomes prior to the Effective Time an officer or

49.

director of the Target (each an “Indemnified Party”) as provided in the Charter Documents, in each case as in effect on the date of this Agreement, or pursuant to any other Contracts in effect on the date hereof, to be assumed by the Surviving Corporation in the Merger, without further action, at the Effective Time, and such rights will survive the Merger and will remain in full force and effect in accordance with their terms, and, in the event that any proceeding is pending or asserted or any claim is made during such period, until the final disposition of such proceeding or claim.

(b) For six (6) years after the Effective Time, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law, Parent and the Surviving Corporation will indemnify, defend and hold harmless each Indemnified Party against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, fees, expenses, judgments and fines arising in whole or in part out of actions or omissions in their capacity as such occurring at or prior to the Effective Time (including in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement), and will reimburse each Indemnified Party for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with investigating or defending any such losses, claims, damages, liabilities, fees, expenses, judgments and fines as such expenses are incurred, subject to the Surviving Corporation’s receipt of an undertaking by such Indemnified Party to repay such legal and other fees and expenses paid in advance if it is ultimately determined in a final and non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction that such Indemnified Party is not entitled to be indemnified under applicable Law; provided, however, that the Surviving Corporation will not be liable for any settlement effected without the Surviving Corporation’s prior written consent (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

(c) The Surviving Corporation will, and Parent will cause the Surviving Corporation to, (i) maintain in effect for a period of six (6) years after the Effective Time, if available, the current policies of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance maintained by the Target immediately prior to the Effective Time (provided that the Surviving Corporation may substitute therefor policies, of at least the same coverage and amounts and containing terms and conditions that are not less advantageous to the directors and officers of the Target when compared to the insurance maintained by the Target as of the date hereof), or (ii) obtain as of the Effective Time “tail” insurance policies with a claims period of six (6) years from the Effective Time with at least the same coverage and amounts and containing terms and conditions that are not less advantageous to the directors and officers of the Target, in each case with respect to claims arising out of or relating to events which occurred before or at the Effective Time (including in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement); provided, however, that in no event will the Surviving Corporation be required to expend, for any such “tail” policy in excess of $250,000 (the “Maximum Premium”). If such insurance coverage cannot be obtained at an annual premium equal to or less than the Maximum Premium, the Surviving Corporation will obtain, and Parent will cause the Surviving Corporation to obtain, that amount of directors’ and officers’ insurance (or “tail” coverage) obtainable for an annual premium equal to the Maximum Premium.

50.

(d) The obligations of Parent and the Surviving Corporation under this Section 7.08 will survive the consummation of the Merger and will not be terminated or modified in such a manner as to adversely affect any Indemnified Party to whom this Section 7.08 applies without the consent of such affected Indemnified Party (it being expressly agreed that the Indemnified Parties to whom this Section 7.08 applies will be third party beneficiaries of this Section 7.08, each of whom may enforce the provisions of this Section 7.08).

(e) In the event Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and will not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity in such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in either such case, proper provision will be made so that the successors and assigns of Parent or the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, will assume all of the obligations set forth in this Section 7.08. The agreements and covenants contained herein will not be deemed to be exclusive of any other rights to which any Indemnified Party is entitled, whether pursuant to Law, Contract or otherwise. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to, will be construed to or will release, waive or impair any rights to directors’ and officers’ insurance claims under any policy that is or has been in existence with respect to the Target or its officers, directors and employees. The indemnification provided for in this Section 7.08 is not prior to, or in substitution for, any such claims under any such policies.

Section 7.09 Commercially Reasonable Efforts.

(a) Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement (including those contained in this Section 7.09), each of the parties hereto will, and Parent will cause its Subsidiaries, including Merger Sub, to, use commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, and to assist and cooperate with the other parties in doing, all things necessary, proper or advisable to consummate and make effective, and to satisfy all conditions to, in the most expeditious manner practicable, the Offer, the Merger and the transactions contemplated hereby, including (i) the obtaining of all permits, waivers, consents, approvals and actions or nonactions from Governmental Entities and the making of all necessary registrations and filings (including filings with Governmental Entities) necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, and (ii) the execution and delivery of any additional instruments necessary to consummate the Offer, the Merger and to fully carry out the purposes of this Agreement.

If the Target or Parent receives a request for additional information or documentary material from any Governmental Entity with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, then it will use commercially reasonable efforts to make, or cause to be made, as soon as reasonably practicable and after consultation with the other party, an appropriate response in compliance with such request, and,

51.

if permitted by applicable Law and by any applicable Governmental Entity, provide the other party’s counsel with advance notice and the opportunity to attend and participate in any meeting with any Governmental Entity in respect of any filing made thereto in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(b) In the event that any administrative or judicial action or proceeding is instituted (or threatened to be instituted) by a Governmental Entity or private party challenging the Offer, the Merger or any other transaction contemplated by this Agreement, or any other agreement contemplated hereby, the Target, Parent and Merger Sub will cooperate in all respects and will use commercially reasonable efforts to contest and resist any such action or proceeding and to have vacated, lifted, reversed or overturned any Order, whether temporary, preliminary or permanent, that is in effect and that prohibits, prevents or restricts consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, neither the Target nor Parent, Merger Sub or any of their Subsidiaries will be required to, and the Target may not, without the prior written consent of Parent, become subject to, consent to, or offer or agree to, or otherwise take any action with respect to, any requirement, condition, limitation, understanding, agreement or order to (i) sell, license, assign, transfer, divest, hold separate or otherwise dispose of any assets, business or portion of business of the Target, the Surviving Corporation, Parent, Merger Sub or any of their respective Subsidiaries, (ii) conduct, restrict, operate, invest or otherwise change the assets, business or portion of business of the Target, the Surviving Corporation, Parent, Merger Sub or any of their respective Subsidiaries in any manner, or (iii) impose any restriction, requirement or limitation on the operation of the business or portion of the business of the Target, the Surviving Corporation, Parent, Merger Sub or any of their respective Subsidiaries; provided that, if requested by Parent, the Target will become subject to, consent to, or offer or agree to, or otherwise take any action with respect to, any such requirement, condition, limitation, understanding, agreement or order so long as such requirement, condition, limitation, understanding, agreement or order is only binding on the Target in the event the Closing occurs.

None of the Target, Parent and Merger Sub will issue any public release or announcement concerning the Offer, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby without the prior written consent of the Target and Parent (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), except as such release or announcement may be permitted by Section 7.04 or required by applicable Law or the rules or regulations of any applicable United States securities exchange or Governmental Entity to which

52.

the relevant party is subject, wherever situated, in which case the party required to make the release or announcement will consult with the other party(ies) about, and allow the other party(ies) reasonable time to comment on such release or announcement in advance of such issuance to the extent possible and shall not be made any sooner than required by applicable Law.

Section 7.11 Takeover Statutes.

Section 7.12 Section 16 Matters.

58.

and not withdrawn or (2) in the case of a termination pursuant to Section 9.03(b), have been publicly disclosed or otherwise made or communicated to the Target or the Target Board, and not withdrawn, and (B) within six (6) months following the date of such termination of this Agreement the Target shall have entered into a definitive agreement with respect to such Takeover Proposal, or such Takeover Proposal shall have been consummated, then in any such event the Target shall pay to Parent (by wire transfer of immediately available funds), immediately prior to and as a condition to consummating such transaction, the Termination Fee (it being understood for all purposes of this Section 9.06(c), all references in the definition of Takeover Proposal to 25% shall be deemed to be references to “more than 50%” instead).

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the parties hereby acknowledge that in the event that the Termination Fee becomes payable and is paid by the Target pursuant to this Section 9.06, the Termination Fee will be Parent’s and Merger Sub’s sole and exclusively remedy for damages under this Agreement.

At any time prior to the Effective Time, Parent, Merger Sub or the Target may, subject to Section 2.03(c), (a) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations of the other party(ies), (b) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties of the other party(ies) contained in this Agreement or in any document delivered under this Agreement, or (c) waive compliance with any of the covenants, agreements or conditions contained in this Agreement; provided, however, that after adoption of this Agreement by the holders of Target Common Stock, no waiver will be made which by Law requires further approval by such holders without obtaining such further approval. Any agreement on the part of a party to any extension or waiver will be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed by such party. The failure of any party to assert any of its rights under this Agreement or otherwise will not constitute a waiver of such rights.

ARTICLE X

MISCELLANEOUS

Section 10.01 Survival. None of the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or in any instrument delivered under this Agreement will survive the Effective Time. This Section 10.01 does not limit any covenant of the parties to this Agreement which, by its terms, contemplates performance after the Effective Time. The Confidentiality Agreement will survive termination of this Agreement in accordance with the terms set forth therein.

Section 10.02 Sole Remedy.

(a) The rights of the parties set forth in Article IX constitute the sole and exclusive basis, means of recourse and remedy for any and all claims or Liabilities arising under, out of or related to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby; provided, however, that, subject to Section 9.06(d), either party may seek equitable relief, including the remedies of specific performance and injunction, with respect to any actual or attempted breach of this Agreement occurring before Closing or with respect to the breach of any covenant or agreement to be performed after Closing. No Person will have any other entitlement, remedy or recourse, whether in contract, tort or otherwise. Each party expressly waives and releases to the fullest extent permitted by Law any and all other remedies, entitlements and recourse it may have against the other parties now or in the future with respect to or for any and all claims or Liabilities arising under, out of, or related to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby (whether in Law or in equity or whether in contract or in tort). None of the parties hereto will have any remedies or causes of action (whether in contract or in tort) for any statements, communications, disclosures, failures to disclose, representations or warranties not set forth in this Agreement.

(b) All representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement are contractual in nature only and subject to the sole and exclusive remedies set forth in Article IX. The parties have agreed that should any representations and warranties of any party prove untrue, the other parties will have the specific rights and remedies provided in Article IX as the exclusive remedy therefor, but that no other rights, remedies or causes of action (whether in Law or in equity or whether in contract or in tort) are permitted to any party hereto as a result of the untruth of any such representation or warranty except for remedies based on intentional fraud in making one of the representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement.

Section 10.03 No Additional Representations; Non-Reliance. Except for the specific representations and warranties expressly made by the Target in this Agreement or the Disclosure Schedules, (a) the Target does not make and has not made any representation or warranty, express or implied, at Law or in equity, in respect of the Target, the Target’s assets or businesses, or any other related assets, liabilities, operations, prospects or conditions (financial or otherwise),

60.

including with respect to merchantability or fitness for any particular purpose of any assets, the nature or extent of any liabilities, the prospects of the Target’s businesses, the effectiveness or the success of any operations, or the accuracy or completeness of any confidential information memoranda, documents, projections, material or other information (financial or otherwise) regarding the Target or the Target’s assets or businesses furnished to Parent or Merger Sub in any “data rooms,” “virtual data rooms,” management presentations or in any other form in expectation of, or in connection with, the transactions contemplated hereby, or in respect of any other matter or thing whatsoever, and (b) no Representative of the Target nor any other Person has any authority, express or implied, to make any representations, warranties or agreements not specifically set forth in this Agreement. Parent and Merger Sub are engaging in the transactions contemplated by this Agreement subject only to the specific representations and warranties contained in Article V, as further limited by the specifically bargained-for exclusive remedies as set forth in Article IX. In addition, the Target has disclaimed and does hereby disclaim any representation or warranty made by any Representative of the Target or any other Person that is not contained in Article V. Therefore, each of Parent and Merger Sub disclaim (y) that it relies upon or has relied upon any representations or warranties not contained in Article V that may have been made by any Representative of the Target or any other Person, and (z) that the Target has any obligation or duty to make any disclosures of fact not required to be disclosed pursuant to the specific representations and warranties not contained in Article V.

Section 10.04 Recourse. All claims or causes of action (whether in Law or in equity, in contract or in tort) that may be based upon, arise out of or relate to this Agreement, or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby (including any representation or warranty made in or in connection with this Agreement or as an inducement to enter into this Agreement), may be made only against the entities that are named parties to this Agreement. No Person who is not a named party to this Agreement, including any Representative of the Target (“Non-Party Affiliates”), will have any Liability (whether in Law or in equity, in contract or in tort, or based upon any theory that seeks to impose Liability of an entity party against its owners or affiliates) for any claims or Liabilities arising under, in connection with or related to this Agreement or for any claim based upon, in respect of, or by reason of this Agreement or its negotiation or execution, and each party hereto waives and releases all such claims and Liabilities against any such Non-Party Affiliates. Non-Party Affiliates are expressly intended as third party beneficiaries of this Section 10.04.

Section 10.05 Disclosure Schedules.

(a) The disclosure of any matter in any Schedule referred to herein will be deemed to be a disclosure for all purposes of this Agreement where the applicability of such disclosure is reasonably apparent on the face of such disclosure. The disclosure of any matter in any Schedule will expressly not be deemed to constitute an admission by the Target, or otherwise to imply, that any such matter is material for the purposes of this Agreement.

61.

(b) Prior to the Effective Time, the Target will deliver to Parent updates or supplements to the Disclosure Schedules containing any additions and changes to the Disclosure Schedules delivered on the date hereof to reflect any and all events, circumstances or changes that arise or become known to the Target after the date of this Agreement. Such delivery will not be deemed a waiver by Parent or Merger Sub of its closing condition contained in Section 8.01(a) to the extent such updates preclude the Target from delivering the certificate contemplated by such Section.

Section 10.06 Governing Law. This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Delaware without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of Laws of any jurisdiction other than those of the State of Delaware.

Any Legal Action with respect to this Agreement and the rights and obligations arising hereunder, or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect of this Agreement and the rights and obligations arising hereunder brought by any other party hereto or its successors or assigns will be brought and determined exclusively in the Chancery Court or the United States District Court sitting in the State of Delaware. Mailing of process or other papers in connection with any such action or proceeding in the manner provided in Section 10.09 or in such other manner as may be permitted by applicable Law, will be valid and sufficient service thereof. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably submits with regard to any such action or proceeding for itself and in respect of its property, generally and unconditionally, to the personal jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts and will not bring any action relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in any court or tribunal other than the aforesaid courts.

Section 10.08 Waiver of Jury Trial. ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES AND, THEREFORE, EACH SUCH PARTY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN

EXHIBIT A

Form of Certificate of Incorporation of Surviving Corporation

AMENDED AND RESTATED

CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION

VERAMARK TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

The name of this corporation is VERAMARK TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

II.

The address of the registered office of the corporation in the State of Delaware is 0000 Xxxxxxxxxxx Xxxx Xxxxx 000, Xxxx xx Xxxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxx of New Castle, 19808, and the name of the registered agent of the corporation in the State of Delaware at such address is Corporation Service Company.

III.

The purpose of this corporation is to engage in any lawful act or activity for which a corporation may be organized under the Delaware General Corporation Law (“DGCL”).

IV.

A. This corporation is authorized to issue only one class of stock, to be designated Common Stock. The total number of shares of Common Stock presently authorized is one thousand (1,000), each having a par value of $0.0001.

A. The management of the business and the conduct of the affairs of the corporation shall be vested in its Board of Directors. The number of directors which shall constitute the whole Board of Directors shall be fixed by the Board of Directors in the manner provided in the Bylaws.

B. Election of Directors

1. Directors shall be elected at each annual meeting of stockholders to hold office until the next annual meeting. Each director shall hold office either until the expiration of the term for which elected or appointed and until a successor has been elected and qualified, or until such director’s death, resignation or removal. No decrease in the number of directors constituting the Board of Directors shall shorten the term of any incumbent director.

2. No person entitled to vote at an election for directors may cumulate votes to which such person is entitled unless required by applicable law at the time of such election. During such time or times that applicable law requires cumulative voting, every stockholder entitled to vote at an election for directors may cumulate such stockholder’s votes and give one candidate a number of votes equal to the number of directors to be elected multiplied by the number of votes to which such stockholder’s shares are otherwise entitled, or distribute the stockholder’s votes on the same principle among as many candidates as such stockholder desires. No stockholder, however, shall be entitled to so cumulate such stockholder’s votes unless (A) the names of such candidate or candidates have been placed in nomination prior to the voting and (B) the stockholder has given notice at the meeting, prior to the voting, of such stockholder’s intention to cumulate such stockholder’s votes. If any stockholder has given proper notice to cumulate votes, all stockholders may cumulate their votes for any candidates who have been properly placed in nomination. Under cumulative voting, the candidates receiving the highest number of votes, up to the number of directors to be elected, are elected.

C. Removal. Subject to any limitations imposed by applicable law, the Board of Directors or any director may be removed from office at any time (1) with cause by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of all then-outstanding shares of capital stock of the corporation entitled to vote generally at an election of directors or (2) without cause by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of all then-outstanding shares of capital stock of the corporation, entitled to vote generally at an election of directors.

D. The Board of Directors is expressly empowered to adopt, amend or repeal the Bylaws of the corporation. The stockholders shall also have power to adopt, amend or repeal the Bylaws of the corporation; provided, however, that, in addition to any vote of the holders of any class or series of stock of the corporation required by law or by this Certificate of Incorporation, such action by stockholders shall require the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the voting power of all of the then-outstanding shares of the capital stock of the corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class.

VI.

A. The liability of the directors for monetary damages shall be eliminated to the fullest extent under applicable law.

B. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Company is authorized to provide indemnification of (and advancement of expenses to) directors, officers and agents of the Company (and any other persons to which applicable law permits the Company to provide indemnification) through Bylaw provisions, agreements with such agents or other persons, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise in excess of the indemnification and advancement otherwise permitted by such applicable law. If applicable law is amended after approval by the stockholders of this Article VI to authorize corporate action further eliminating or limiting the personal liability of directors, then the liability of a director to the Company shall be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law as so amended.

C. Any repeal or modification of this Article VI shall only be prospective and shall not affect the rights or protections or increase the liability of any director under this Article VI in effect at the time of the alleged occurrence of any act or omission to act giving rise to liability or indemnification.

VII.

The corporation reserves the right to amend, alter, change or repeal any provision contained in this Certificate of Incorporation, in the manner now or hereafter prescribed by statute, and all rights conferred upon the stockholders herein are granted subject to this reservation.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Veramark Technologies, Inc. has caused this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to be signed by its this day of 2013.
