W I T N E S S E T H :

WHEREAS, on July 28, 2009 Parent, Purchaser and Merger Subsidiary filed a combined Tender Offer Statement and Rule 13E-3 Transaction Statement under cover of Schedule TO (together with any amendments or supplements thereto, the “Schedule TO”) with respect to the tender offer by Purchaser (as such offer has been amended from time to time prior to the date hereof, the “Existing Offer”) to purchase all outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company not already owned by Purchaser (the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock are hereinafter referred to as the “Shares”);

WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Company Board”) has established a special committee of the Company Board consisting solely of independent directors (the “Special Committee”) to consider, review, evaluate, negotiate and approve or reject the terms and conditions of the Existing Offer and any modification thereto, and to determine whether such offer is fair to, and in the best interests of, the stockholders of the Company (other than Parent and its Affiliates);

WHEREAS, the Company, Parent and Purchaser desire that all claims in the Delaware Litigation and New York Federal Litigation be dismissed with prejudice, subject to the other terms and conditions of this Agreement;

WHEREAS, the Special Committee has determined to terminate the Rights Agreement, subject to the other terms and conditions of this Agreement;

WHEREAS, the Special Committee has resolved to recommend that the Company’s stockholders tender their Shares in the Offer; and

WHEREAS, Parent, Purchaser and Merger Subsidiary have agreed to amend the Existing Offer to reflect such agreement (the Existing Offer as so amended and as it may be amended from time to time in accordance with this Agreement, the “Offer”).

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto agree as follows:

ARTICLE 1
The Offer

Section 1.01. The Offer, the Dismissal of the Litigation and the Termination of the Rights Agreement. (a) Substantially concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, Parent, Purchaser and Merger Subsidiary shall amend the Offer to (i) increase the purchase price to $3.00 per Share, net to the seller in cash (the “Offer Price”); (ii) provide that the conditions to the Offer shall be as set forth in Annex I and no others; (iii) provide that the expiration date of the Offer shall be December 8, 2009 (the “Initial Expiration Date”); and (iv) make such other amendments as are necessary or appropriate to conform to the requirements of this Agreement.

(b) Purchaser expressly reserves the right to waive any of the conditions to the Offer other than the Majority of the Minority Condition, and to make any other changes in the terms of or conditions to the Offer; provided that without the prior consent of the Company (provided that such consent has been approved by the Special Committee), Parent, Purchaser and Merger Subsidiary shall not:

(i) reduce the amount of the consideration to be paid or the number of Shares sought in the Offer or change the form of the consideration to be paid in the Offer;

(ii) amend or waive satisfaction of the Majority of the Minority Condition;

(iii) impose additional conditions to the Offer;

(iv) amend, modify, supplement or otherwise change any of the conditions to the Offer set forth in Annex I;

(v) amend any other term of the Offer in any manner (A) adverse to the stockholders of the Company (other than Parent and its Affiliates) or (B) that would reasonably be expected to, individually or in the aggregate, prevent, materially delay or materially impede the consummation of the Offer; or

(vi) extend the expiration date of the Offer except as otherwise provided herein.

Notwithstanding clause (vi) above, Parent, Purchaser and Merger Subsidiary (x) may extend the Offer for two successive periods not to exceed 10 business days each following the Initial Expiration Date (each such additional period, an “Additional Offer Period”) if any of the conditions is not satisfied or waived on the Initial Expiration Date (the later of the Initial Expiration Date and the expiration date of the final Additional Offer Period, if any, is referred to herein as the “Final Expiration Date”), and (y) shall extend the Offer for the minimum period required by any rule, regulation, interpretation or position of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) or the staff thereof applicable to the Offer or any period otherwise required by applicable Law; provided that in no event shall Parent, Purchaser and Merger Subsidiary be required or permitted to

extend the Offer beyond the End Date. Following expiration of the Offer, Parent, Purchaser and Merger Subsidiary may, in their sole discretion, provide a subsequent offering period (“Subsequent Offering Period”) in accordance with Rule 14d-11 of the 1934 Act. Purchaser shall not terminate or withdraw the Offer other than in connection with the effective termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 7.01 hereof.

(c) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions to the Offer, Purchaser shall, and Parent shall cause it to, accept for payment and pay for, promptly after the expiration of the Offer, all Shares (i) validly tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to the Offer and (ii) validly tendered in any Subsequent Offering Period (the date on which Shares are first accepted for payment, the “Acceptance Date”).

(d) Substantially concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, Parent, Purchaser and Merger Subsidiary shall file with the SEC an amendment to the Schedule TO, which shall include a supplement to the offer to purchase and a revised form of letter of transmittal reflecting the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement (collectively, together with any amendments or supplements thereto, the “Offer Documents”), and to the extent required by applicable U.S. federal securities laws, Parent, Purchaser and Merger Subsidiary shall cause the Offer Documents to be promptly disseminated to holders of Shares. Each of Parent, Purchaser, Merger Subsidiary and the Company agrees promptly to correct any information provided by it or any of its Affiliates for use in the Schedule TO and the Offer Documents if and to the extent that such information shall have become false or misleading in any material respect. Parent, Purchaser and Merger Subsidiary shall use reasonable best efforts to cause the Schedule TO as so corrected to be filed with the SEC and the Offer Documents as so corrected to be disseminated to holders of Shares, in each case as and to the extent required by applicable U.S. federal securities laws. The Company, the Special Committee and their respective counsel shall be given a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on any amendment to the Schedule TO and the Offer Documents each time before any such document is filed with the SEC, and Parent, Purchaser and Merger Subsidiary shall give good faith consideration to any comments made by the Company, the Special Committee and their respective counsel. Parent, Purchaser and Merger Subsidiary shall provide the Company, the Special Committee and their respective counsel with (i) any comments or other communications, whether written or oral, that Parent, Purchaser, Merger Subsidiary or their respective Affiliates or counsel may receive from time to time from the SEC or its staff with respect to the Schedule TO or the Offer Documents promptly after receipt of those comments or other communications and (ii) a reasonable opportunity to participate in the response of Parent, Purchaser and Merger Subsidiary to those comments and to provide comments on that response (to which good faith consideration shall be given), including by participating with Parent, Purchaser and Merger Subsidiary or their counsel in any discussions or meetings with the SEC. Parent, Purchaser and Merger Subsidiary agree to use reasonable best efforts to respond promptly to any comments of the SEC or its staff with respect to the Schedule TO or the Offer Documents.

(e) Substantially concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Company, Parent and Purchaser shall cause to be executed and filed with the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware a Stipulation and Order of Dismissal with prejudice in the Delaware Litigation in the form attached as Exhibit A hereto. All claims and counterclaims in the Delaware Litigation shall be dismissed with prejudice. Any of the parties hereto and any of their affiliates, directors, employees, officers, successors, agents, representatives or assigns may plead this Agreement as a complete bar to any such dismissed claim brought in derogation of this Section 1.01(e).

(f) Substantially concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Company, Parent and Purchaser shall cause to be executed and filed with the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York a Stipulation of Dismissal with prejudice in the New York Federal Litigation in the form attached as Exhibit B hereto. All claims in the New York Federal Litigation shall be dismissed with prejudice. Any of the parties hereto and any of their affiliates, directors, employees, officers, successors, agents, representatives or assigns may plead this Agreement as a complete bar to any such dismissed claim brought in derogation of this Section 1.01(f).

(g) Concurrently with the dismissal with prejudice of all claims in the Delaware Litigation and the New York Federal Litigation, each of the Company, Parent, and Purchaser, on behalf of itself and each of its affiliates, directors, employees, officers, successors, agents, representatives and assigns (the “Releasing Parties”), shall release, discharge and covenant not to sue each of the other Releasing Parties from all actions, causes of action, suits, debts, dues, sums of money, accounts, reckonings, bonds, bills, specialties, covenants, contracts, controversies, agreements, promises, variances, trespasses, damages, judgments, extents, executions, claims, complaints and demands whatsoever, in law or equity, including any and all claims, rights or causes of action for contribution, indemnification or reimbursement (“Claims”), that any of the Releasing Parties now has or hereafter can, shall or may have, whether individually, representatively, derivatively or in any other capacity, to the extent such Claims arise out of or are directly related to the allegations made by any party in the Delaware Litigation or the New York Federal Litigation. Notwithstanding the aforesaid, nothing herein shall prevent legal action by any of the Releasing Parties to enforce any term or provision of this Agreement or to prevent legal action by any of the Releasing Parties for actions or inactions taken by any party after the date of this Agreement.

(h) Within four business days following the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Company and the Special Committee shall take all action necessary to terminate the Rights Agreement by entering into an amendment to the Rights Agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit C hereto (the “Amendment”). In furtherance of the foregoing, the Company Board (including the two Purchaser designees thereon) shall ratify such Amendment within such four business day period. Purchaser shall cause its designees on the Company Board to take all actions necessary to effect the provisions of this paragraph (h), including by attending and voting in favor of such Amendment at any duly called meeting of the Company Board or signing any action by written consent approving such Amendment.

Section 1.02. Other Company Action.

(b) The Company shall, or shall cause its transfer agent to, as promptly as practicable furnish Parent with (i) a list of its stockholders and computer disk and layout containing the names and addresses of all record holders of Shares, (ii) a NOBO list and computer disk containing the stockholder information on the NOBO list as of the most recent practicable date, (iii) a current securities participant list from DTC and a copy in electronic form of any such list for all dates in the Company’s or its transfer agent’s possession since December 31, 2008, (iv) online access to the DTC system for Parent’s Information Agent for the Offer, Okapi Partners, to obtain on a daily basis going forward DTC participant lists in electronic form and (v) such additional information (including updated information on any Shares held in any employee plans, transfer sheets address corrections) and such other assistance as Parent or its Information Agent for the Offer may reasonably request in connection with the Offer.

(c) Substantially concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Company (i) shall file with the SEC and, to the extent required by applicable U.S. federal securities laws, disseminate to holders of Shares an amendment to the Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9 filed by the Company on July 30, 2009 (together with any amendments or supplements thereto, the “Schedule 14D-9”) that shall reflect the recommendations of the Special Committee referred to above and (ii) shall join as a Rule 13E-3 filing person with Parent, Purchaser and Merger Subsidiary on the Schedule TO (and each amendment thereto). Each of the Company, Parent, Purchaser and Merger Subsidiary agrees promptly to correct any information provided by it for use in the Schedule 14D-9 if and to the extent that such information shall have become false or misleading in any material respect. The Company shall use reasonable best efforts to cause the Schedule 14D-9 as so corrected to be filed with the SEC and to be disseminated to holders of Shares, in each case as and to the extent required by applicable U.S. federal securities laws. Parent, Purchaser, Merger Subsidiary and their counsel shall be given a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on any amendment to the Schedule 14D-9 each time before it is filed with the SEC, and the Company shall give reasonable and good faith consideration to any comments made by Parent, Purchaser, Merger Subsidiary and their counsel.

Representations and Warranties of Parent

Parent represents and warrants to the Company that:

Section 3.01. Corporate Authorization. The execution, delivery and performance by Parent, Purchaser and Merger Subsidiary of this Agreement and the consummation by Parent, Purchaser and Merger Subsidiary of the transactions contemplated hereby are within the corporate powers of Parent, Purchaser and Merger Subsidiary and have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action.

However, if the Special Committee determines in good faith (after considering the advice of its outside legal and financial advisors) that continuing to recommend that the Company’s stockholders tender their Shares in the Offer could be reasonably determined to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under Delaware Law, then the Special Committee may make an Adverse Recommendation Change, in which case the obligations of the Special Committee and the Company Board under this Section 4.01 shall cease; provided that the Special Committee may not make an Adverse Recommendation Change until after at least 48 hours following Parent’s receipt of written notice from the Company advising Parent that the Special Committee

intends to make such an Adverse Recommendation Change and the reasons therefor and the Special Committee considers any modifications proposed by Parent during such 48-hour period in order to eliminate the need for such Adverse Recommendation Change.

Section 4.02. Other Actions. None of the Company, the Company Board or the Special Committee, or any members thereof, shall (a) adopt or propose to adopt any stockholder rights plan prior to the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.01 hereof or (b) commence or threaten to commence any action, suit or other proceeding against Parent, Purchaser, Merger Subsidiary, any of their respective Affiliates, directors or officers or any other Person seeking to, or that would reasonably be expected to, impede, frustrate, prevent, enjoin, alter or materially delay the Offer or any other transactions contemplated hereby, but only to the extent that any such action, suit or other proceeding is based primarily on facts known to the members of the Special Committee as of the date of this Agreement.

Section 4.03. Board Resignations. At or prior to the Acceptance Date, (1) the Company Board shall amend the bylaws of the Company to delete Section 3.2 of such bylaws in its entirety and to amend Section 8.1(i)(B) of such bylaws to read, in its entirety, “by resolution of the Board of Directors” (the “Specified Bylaw Amendments”); provided that Parent shall cause its designees on the Company Board to approve such amendments, and (2) the Company shall obtain the resignation of each of its current directors (other than Purchaser’s designees), effective as of the Acceptance Date, and take all other action necessary to cause Purchaser’s designees to be elected or appointed to the Company Board effective as of the Acceptance Date.

Section 4.04. Compensation Arrangements. Prior to the Acceptance Date, the Company (acting through its Special Committee) will take all steps that may be necessary or advisable to cause each Change in Control Arrangement entered into by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries prior to, on or after the date hereof to be approved by the Special Committee (comprised solely of “independent directors”) in accordance with the requirements of Rule 14d-10(d)(2) under the 1934 Act and the instructions thereto as an “employment compensation, severance or other employee benefit arrangement” within

the meaning of Rule 14d-10(d)(2) under the 1934 Act and to satisfy the requirements of the non-exclusive safe harbor set forth in Rule 14d-10(d) of the 1934 Act. “Change in Control Arrangement” means each plan, program, agreement, arrangement or understanding of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries pursuant to which any holder of Shares could become entitled to (i) any additional compensation, enhanced severance or other benefits or any acceleration of the time of payment or vesting of any compensation, severance or other benefits or any funding of any compensation or benefits by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, in each case as a result of the Offer, the Merger or any of the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement (alone or in combination with any other event), or (ii) any other compensation or benefits from the Company or any of its Subsidiaries related to or contingent upon or the value of which would be calculated on the basis of the Offer, the Merger or any of the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement (alone or in combination with any other event).

The parties hereto agree that any suit, action or proceeding seeking to enforce any provision of, or based on any matter arising out of or in connection with or relating to, this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby shall be brought in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware in and for New Castle County, Delaware, and each of the parties hereby irrevocably consents to the exclusive jurisdiction of such court (and of the appropriate appellate courts therefrom) in any such suit, action or proceeding and irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such

suit, action or proceeding in any such court or that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. To the extent the Chancery Court determines that it lacks subject matter jurisdiction over any such court proceeding contemplated herein, the parties hereby agree that such proceeding can and then shall be brought only in any other appropriate Delaware state court or federal court sitting in Delaware and the parties will not challenge the venue as described herein. Process in any such suit, action or proceeding may be served on any party anywhere in the world, whether within or without the jurisdiction of any such court. Without limiting the foregoing, each party agrees that service of process on such party as provided in Section 8.01 shall be deemed effective service of process on such party.

Section 8.08. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

Section 8.09. Counterparts; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be signed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument. This Agreement shall become effective when each party hereto shall have received a counterpart hereof signed by all of the other parties hereto. Until and unless each party has received a counterpart hereof signed by the other party hereto, this Agreement shall have no effect and no party shall have any right or obligation hereunder (whether by virtue of any other oral or written agreement or other communication).

Section 8.10. Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, both oral and written, among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof.

Section 8.11. Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court or other Governmental Authority of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party. Upon such a determination, the parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.

Section 8.12. Specific Performance. The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur if any provision of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with the specific terms hereof and that monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy therefor. It is accordingly agreed that the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the performance of the terms and provisions hereof in any court

specified in Section 8.07, in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. The parties further agree not to assert that a remedy for specific performance is unenforceable, invalid, contrary to Law or inequitable for any reason, nor to assert that a remedy of monetary damages would provide an adequate remedy for any such breach.
