Such Company Stockholders shall be entitled to receive payment of the appraised value of such Dissenting Company Shares in accordance with the provisions of Section 262 of the DGCL, except that all Dissenting Company Shares held by Company Stockholders who shall have failed to perfect or who shall have effectively withdrawn or lost their rights to appraisal of such Dissenting Company Shares under such Section 262 of the DGCL shall thereupon be deemed to have been converted into, and to have become exchangeable for, as of the Effective Time, the right to receive the Per Share Price, without any interest thereon, upon surrender of the certificate or certificates or Uncertificated Shares that formerly evidenced such shares of Company Common Stock in the manner provided in Section 2.8.

(ii) The Company shall give Newco (A) prompt notice of any demands for appraisal received by the Company, withdrawals of such demands, and any other instruments served pursuant to Delaware Law and received by the Company in respect of Dissenting Company Shares and (B) the opportunity to direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to demands for appraisal under Delaware Law in respect of Dissenting Company Shares.

The payment of the Company Stock-Based Award Consideration will be subject to withholding for all required taxes. The Company agrees to take all action necessary to effect this cancellation

of Company Stock-Based Awards upon the Effective Time and to give effect to this Section 2.7(d) (including, without limitation, the satisfaction of the requirements of Rule 16b-3(e) under the Exchange Act).

The payment of the Option Consideration will be subject to withholding for all required taxes. The Company agrees to take all action necessary to effect this cancellation of Company Options upon the Effective Time and to give effect to this Section 2.7(e) (including, without limitation, the satisfaction of the requirements of Rule 16b3(e) under the Exchange Act). As soon as practicable (and in no event more than thirty (30) calendar days) following the Closing, the Company shall pay to each holder of a Company Option the Option Consideration (if any), less any applicable withholding taxes, required to be paid to any such holder of a Company Option pursuant to this Section 2.7(e). The cancellation of a Company Option as provided in the first sentence of this Section 2.7(e) shall be deemed the termination, and satisfaction in full of, any and all rights the holder had or may have had in respect of such Company Option.

All shares of Company Common Stock purchased in the Final Offering shall be cancelled at the Effective Time, and each such share shall be converted into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to the Per Share Price, without interest thereon, in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. The Company shall provide the notice contemplated by Section 14 of the ESPP as promptly as practicable following the date of this Agreement, which notice shall provide that the Offering Period will be shortened by setting a new exercise date and that the exercise date shall be 10 business days following the date of the delivery of such notice.

2.8 Exchange of Certificates.

(a) Payment Agent. Prior to the Effective Time, Newco shall select a bank or trust company reasonably acceptable to the Company to act as the payment agent for the Merger (the “Payment Agent”).

(b) Exchange Fund. At the Effective Time, Newco shall deposit (or cause to be deposited, including by utilizing the Company’s cash) with the Payment Agent, for payment to the holders of shares of Company Common Stock pursuant to the provisions of this Article II, an amount of cash equal to the aggregate consideration to which holders of Company Common Stock and holders of Company Stock-Based Awards and Company Options become entitled under this Article II. Until disbursed in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, such funds shall be invested by the Paying Agent, as directed by Newco or the Surviving Corporation, in obligations of or guaranteed by the United States or obligations of an agency of the United States which are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States (such cash being referred to herein as the “Exchange Fund”). To the extent that there are any losses with respect to any investments of the Exchange Fund, the Exchange Fund diminishes for any reason below the level required for the Paying Agent to promptly pay the cash amounts contemplated by this Article II, or all or any portion of the Exchange Fund is unavailable Newco to promptly pay the cash amounts contemplated by this Article II for any reason, Newco shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, promptly replace or restore the cash in the Exchange Fund so as to ensure that the Exchange Fund is at all times fully available for distribution and maintained at a level sufficient for the Paying Agent to make such payments contemplated by this Article II. Any income from investment of the Exchange Fund shall be payable to Newco.

(c) Payment Procedures. Promptly following the Effective Time, Newco and the Surviving Corporation shall cause the Payment Agent to mail to each holder of record (as of immediately prior to the Effective Time) of (i) a certificate or certificates (the “Certificates”) which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding shares of Company Common Stock and (ii) uncertificated shares of Company Common Stock (the “Uncertificated Shares”) (A) a letter of transmittal in customary form (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of the Certificates to the Payment Agent), and/or (B) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates and Uncertificated Shares in exchange for the Per Share Price payable in respect thereof pursuant to the provisions of this Article II. Upon surrender of Certificates for cancellation to the Payment Agent or to such other agent or agents as may be appointed by Newco, together with such letter of transmittal, duly completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto, the holders of such Certificates shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor an amount in cash equal to the product obtained by multiplying (x) the aggregate number of shares of Company Common Stock represented by such Certificate, by (y) the Per Share Price (less any applicable withholding taxes payable in respect thereof), and the Certificates so surrendered shall forthwith be canceled. Upon receipt of an “agent’s message” by the Payment Agent (or such other evidence, if any, of transfer as the Payment Agent may reasonably request) in the case of a book-entry transfer of Uncertificated Shares, the holders of such Uncertificated Shares shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor an amount in cash equal to the product obtained by multiplying (x) the aggregate number of shares of Company Common Stock represented by such holder’s transferred Uncertificated Shares, by (y) the Per Share Price (less any applicable withholding taxes payable in respect thereof), and the transferred Uncertificated Shares so surrendered shall forthwith be canceled. The Payment Agent shall accept such Certificates and transferred Uncertificated Shares upon compliance with such reasonable terms and conditions as the Payment Agent may impose to effect an orderly exchange thereof in accordance with normal exchange practices. No interest shall be paid or accrued for the benefit of holders of the Certificates and Uncertificated Shares on the Per Share Price payable upon the surrender of such Certificates and Uncertificated Shares pursuant to this Section 2.8. Until so surrendered, outstanding Certificates and Uncertificated Shares shall be deemed from and after the Effective Time, to evidence only the right to receive the Per Share Price, without interest thereon, payable in respect thereof pursuant to the provisions of this Article II.

(d) Transfers of Ownership. In the event that a transfer of ownership of shares of Company Common Stock is not registered in the stock transfer books or ledger of the Company, or if the Per Share Price is to be

paid in a name other than that in which the Certificates or Uncertificated Shares surrendered in exchange therefor are registered in the stock transfer books or ledger of the Company, the Per Share Price may be paid to a Person other than the Person in whose name the Certificate or Uncertificated Shares so surrendered is registered in the stock transfer books or ledger of the Company only if such Certificate is properly endorsed and otherwise in proper form for surrender and transfer and the Person requesting such payment has paid to Newco (or any agent designated by Newco) any transfer Taxes required by reason of the payment of the Per Share Price to a Person other than the registered holder of such Certificate or Uncertificated Shares, or established to the satisfaction of Newco (or any agent designated by Newco) that such transfer Taxes have been paid or are otherwise not payable.

(e) Required Withholding. Each of the Payment Agent, Newco and the Surviving Corporation shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any cash amounts payable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder or former holder of shares of Company Common Stock, Company Stock-Based Awards and Company Options such amounts as may be required to be deducted or withheld therefrom under U.S. federal or state, local or non-U.S. Tax laws. To the extent that such amounts are so deducted or withheld and paid over to the appropriate Governmental Authority, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes under this Agreement as having been paid to the Person to whom such amounts would otherwise have been paid.

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

(g) Distribution of Exchange Fund to Newco. Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains undistributed to the holders of the Certificates or Uncertificated Shares on the date that is six (6) months after the Effective Time shall be delivered to Newco upon demand, and any holders of shares of Company Common Stock that were issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Merger who have not theretofore surrendered their Certificates or Uncertificated Shares representing such shares of Company Common Stock for exchange pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2.8 shall thereafter look for payment of the Per Share Price payable in respect of the shares of Company Common Stock represented by such Certificates or Uncertificated Shares solely to Newco (subject to abandoned property, escheat or similar laws), as general creditors thereof, for any claim to the applicable Per Share Price to which such holders may be entitled pursuant to the provisions of this Article II. Any amounts remaining unclaimed by holders of any such Certificates or Uncertificated Shares two (2) years after the Effective Time or at such earlier date as is immediately prior to the time at which such amounts would otherwise escheat to, or become property of, any Governmental Authority shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, become the property of the Surviving Corporation free and clear of any claims or interest of any such holders or their successors, assigns or personal representatives previously entitled thereto.

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

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

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

With respect to any Section of this Article III, except (i) as disclosed in the reports, statements and other documents filed by the Company with the SEC or furnished by the Company to the SEC, in each case pursuant to the Exchange Act (other than (x) any disclosures contained or referenced therein under the captions “Risk Factors”, “Forward-Looking Statements”, “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” and any other disclosures contained or referenced therein of information, factors or risks that are predictive, cautionary or forward-looking in nature, and (y) any disclosures included in any exhibits or other documents appended thereto), in each case on or after December 31, 2008 and prior to the date of this Agreement (the “Recent SEC Reports”) (it being understood that any matter disclosed in any Recent SEC Report shall be deemed to be disclosed in a section of the Company Disclosure Letter only to the extent that it is reasonably apparent from such disclosure in such Recent SEC Report that such disclosure is applicable to such section of the Company Disclosure Letter, other than, in each case, any matters required to be disclosed for purposes of Sections 3.7 (Company Capitalization), 3.8 (Subsidiaries), 3.10 (Company Financial Statements), 3.12 (Absence of Certain Changes), 3.16 (Intellectual Property) and 3.18 (Employee Plans) of this Agreement which matters shall be specifically disclosed in Sections 3.7, 3.8, 3.10, 3.12, and 3.18 of the Company Disclosure Letter, respectively) or (ii) subject to the terms of Section 9.12 below, as set forth in the disclosure letter delivered by the Company to Newco and Merger Sub on the date of this Agreement (the “Company Disclosure Letter”), the Company hereby represents and warrants to Newco and Merger Sub as follows:

3.1 Organization; Good Standing. The Company is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under Delaware Law, and has the requisite corporate power and authority to conduct its business as it is presently being conducted and to own, lease or operate its properties and assets, except where the failure to be in good standing would not have a Company Material Adverse Effect. The Company is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction where the character of its properties owned or leased or the nature of its activities make such qualification necessary (to the extent the “good standing” concept is applicable in the case of any jurisdiction outside the United States), except where the failure to be so qualified or in good standing would not have, individually or in the aggregate, a Company Material Adverse Effect.

(a) Newco and Merger Sub have delivered to the Company a complete and accurate copy of an executed commitment letter (the “Commitment Letter”) from Vista Equity Partners Fund III, L.P.

4.11 Stockholder and Management Arrangements. Except as expressly authorized by the Company, as of the date hereof, neither Newco or Merger Sub, or any of their respective Affiliates, is (and prior to the No-Shop Period Start Date neither shall be) a party to any Contracts, or has (or prior to the No-Shop Period Start Date shall have) made or entered into any formal or informal arrangements or other understandings (whether or not binding), with any stockholder, director, officer or other Affiliate of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries relating to this Agreement, the Merger or any other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or the Surviving Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries, businesses or operations (including as to continuing employment) from and after the Effective Time.

Accordingly, Newco and Merger Sub hereby acknowledge and agree that none of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, nor any of their respective

Affiliates, stockholders, directors, officers, employees, agents, representatives or advisors, nor any other Person, has made or is making any express or implied representation or warranty with respect to such estimates, projections, forecasts, forward-looking statements or business plans.

No later than the first Business Day following the No-Shop Period Start Date, the Company shall provide Newco with a complete list of Continuing Parties, including their identity.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to contrary set forth in this Section 5.3 or elsewhere in this Agreement, at all times during the period commencing as of the No-Shop Period Start Date and continuing until the Company’s receipt of the Requisite Stockholder Approval, the Company Board and/or any authorized committee thereof may, directly or indirectly through one or more Representatives, participate or engage in discussions or negotiations with, furnish any non-public information relating to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to, and/or afford access to the business, properties, assets, books, records or other non-public information, or to the personnel, of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries pursuant to an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement to (provided that the Company shall promptly make available to Newco any material non-public information concerning the Company and its Subsidiaries that is provided to any Person given such access which was not previously made available to Newco):

solely in the case of this clause (ii), the Company Board or any authorized committee thereof shall have determined in good faith (after consultation with its financial advisor and outside legal counsel) that (A) such Acquisition Proposal either constitutes a Superior Proposal or is reasonably likely to lead to a Superior Proposal and (B) the failure to take such action would be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable laws.

(e) Except as expressly provided by Section 5.3(f), at any time after the date hereof (whether before or after the No-Shop Period Start Date), neither the Company Board nor any committee thereof shall:

(i) effect a Company Board Recommendation Change; or

(ii) cause or permit the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company to enter into any acquisition agreement, merger agreement or similar definitive agreement (an “Alternative Acquisition Agreement”) relating to any Acquisition Proposal (other than any Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement).

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, at any time prior to obtaining the Requisite Stockholder Approval, (x) the Company Board may if it has not received a bona fide written Acquisition Proposal that constitutes a Superior Proposal, effect a Company Board Recommendation Change, or (y) if the Company has received a bona fide written Acquisition Proposal from any Person that is not withdrawn and that the Company Board concludes in good faith constitutes a Superior Proposal, (1) the Company Board may effect a Company Board Recommendation Change with respect to such Superior Proposal, and (2) the Company Board may authorize the Company to terminate this Agreement to enter into an Alternative Acquisition Agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal, if and only if:

(iii) in the case of clause (y) above, the Company shall have complied in all material respects with its obligations under this Section 5.3 with respect to such Superior Proposal;

(iv) in the case of clauses (x) and (y) above, (A) the Company shall have provided prior written notice to Newco at least three (3) Business Days in advance (the “Notice Period”), to the effect that absent any revision to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Company Board has resolved to effect a Company Board Recommendation Change and/or to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 5.3(f), which notice shall specify the basis for such Company Board Recommendation Change or termination, including in the case of Section 5.3(f)(y) the identity of the party making the Superior Proposal, the material terms thereof and copies of all relevant documents relating to such Superior Proposal; and (B) prior to effecting such Company Board Recommendation Change or termination, the Company shall, and shall cause its financial and legal advisors to, during the Notice Period, (1) negotiate with Newco and any representative or agent of Newco (including, without limitation, any director or officer of Newco) (collectively, “Newco Representatives”) in good faith (to the extent Newco desires to negotiate) to make such adjustments in the terms and conditions of this Agreement such that the Company Board would not effect a Company Board Recommendation Change and/or terminate this Agreement, and (2) permit Newco and the Newco Representatives to make a presentation to the Company Board regarding this Agreement and any adjustments with respect thereto (to the extent Newco desires to make such presentation); provided, that in the event of any material or substantive revisions to the Acquisition Proposal that the Company Board has determined to be a Superior Proposal, the Company shall be required to deliver a new written notice to Newco and to comply with the requirements of this Section 5.3 (including this Section 5.3(f)) with respect to such new written notice; and

(v) in the case of clause (y) above, the Company shall have validly terminated this Agreement in accordance with Section 8.1(h), including the payment of any Company Termination Fee in accordance with Section 8.3(b)(iii).

The Company shall comply with the provisions of this Section 5.3(f) regardless of whether the Superior Proposal is from a Continuing Party.

If the Company determines that it is required to file with the SEC any Other Required Company Filing under applicable law, the Company shall promptly prepare and file with the SEC such Other Required Company Filing. If Newco, Merger Sub or any of their respective Affiliates determine that they are required to file any Other Required Newco Filing under applicable law, then Newco, Merger Sub and their respective Affiliates, if applicable, shall promptly prepare and file with the SEC such Other Required Newco Filing. The Company shall cause the Proxy Statement and any Other Required Company Filing to comply as to form and substance in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules of the SEC and Nasdaq. Newco and Merger Sub shall cause any Other Required Newco Filing to comply as to form and substance in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules of the SEC. The Company, Newco and Merger Sub, as the case may be, shall furnish all information concerning the Company, on the one hand, and Newco and Merger Sub (and their respective Affiliates, if applicable), on the other hand, as the other may reasonably request in connection with the preparation and filing with the SEC of the Proxy Statement, any Other Required Company Filing and any Other Required Newco Filing. If at any time prior to the Company Stockholder Meeting, any information relating to the Company, Newco or Merger Sub, or any of their respective partners, members, stockholders, directors, officers or other Affiliates, should be discovered by the Company, Newco or Merger Sub which should be set forth in an amendment or supplement to the Proxy Statement, any Other Required Company Filing or any Other Required Newco Filing, as the case may be, so that the Proxy Statement, any Other Required Company Filing or Other Required Newco Filing, as the case may be, would not include any misstatement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, the party which discovers such information shall promptly notify the other, and an appropriate amendment or supplement to the Proxy Statement or the applicable Other Required Company Filing or Other Required Newco Filing describing such information shall be promptly prepared and filed with the SEC and, to the extent required by applicable law or the SEC or its staff, disseminated to the Company Stockholders. The Company agrees that no other matters shall be brought before the Company Stockholder Meeting or included in the Proxy Statement other than the approval of this Agreement and the Merger.

(b) (i) The Company and its Affiliates, on the one hand, and Newco, Merger Sub and their respective Affiliates, on the other hand, shall not file with the SEC the Proxy Statement, any Other Required Company Filing or any Other Required Newco Filing, as the case may be, or any amendment or supplement thereto, and (ii) the Company and its Affiliates, on the one hand, and Newco, Merger Sub and their respective Affiliates, on the other hand, shall not correspond or otherwise communicate with the SEC or its staff with respect to the Proxy Statement, any Other Required Company Filing or any Other Required Newco Filing, as the case may be, in any such case referenced in the preceding clause (i) or (ii) without providing the other, to the extent practicable, a reasonable opportunity to review and comment thereon or participate therein, as the case may be.

(c) The Company, on the one hand, and Newco and Merger Sub, on the other hand, shall advise the other, promptly after it receives notice thereof, of any receipt of a request by the SEC or its staff for an amendment or revisions to the Proxy Statement, any Other Required Company Filing or any Other Required Newco Filing, as the case may be, any receipt of comments from the SEC or its staff on the Proxy Statement, any Other Required Company Filing or any Other Required Newco Filing, as the case may be, or any receipt of a request by the SEC or its staff for additional information in connection therewith.

(d) Unless the Company Board or any authorized committee thereof shall have effected a Company Board Recommendation Change in accordance with the terms of Section 5.3(f), the Company shall include the Company Board Recommendation in the Proxy Statement and, if applicable, any Other Required Company Filings.

(e) Subject to applicable law, the Company shall (a) establish a record date for the Company Stockholder Meeting and (b) use all reasonable efforts to cause the Proxy Statement to be disseminated to the Company Stockholders as promptly as practicable following the filing thereof with the SEC and confirmation from the SEC that it will not comment on, or that it has no additional comments on, the Proxy Statement (in no event later than five (5) Business Days after such clearance).

6.4 Company Stockholder Meeting. The Company shall (a) take all action necessary in accordance with Delaware Law and its certificate of incorporation and by-laws to duly call, give notice of, convene and hold a meeting of its stockholders (the “Company Stockholder Meeting”) as promptly as reasonably practicable following the mailing of the Proxy Statement for the purpose of obtaining the Requisite Stockholder Approval, and (b) use all reasonable efforts to solicit from its stockholders proxies in favor of the adoption of this Agreement (subject to the Company’s right to effect a Company Board Recommendation Change in accordance with the terms of this Agreement); provided, however, without limiting the Company’s obligation to convene and hold the Company Stockholder Meeting as promptly as reasonably practicable, nothing herein shall prevent the Company from postponing or adjourning the Company Stockholder Meeting if (x) there are holders of insufficient shares of the Company Common Stock present or represented by a proxy at the Company Stockholder Meeting to constitute a quorum at the Company Stockholder Meeting, (y) the Company is required to postpone or adjourn the Company Stockholder Meeting by applicable law, order or a request from the SEC or its staff, or (z) the Company Board or any authorized committee thereof shall have determined in good faith (after consultation with outside legal counsel) that it is necessary or appropriate to postpone or adjourn the Company Stockholder Meeting, including in order to give Company Stockholders sufficient time to evaluate any information or disclosure that the Company has sent to Company Stockholders or otherwise made available to Company Stockholders by issuing a press release, filing materials with the SEC or otherwise (including in connection with any Company Board Recommendation Change); and provided further, that notwithstanding the foregoing, Newco may require the Company to adjourn or postpone the Company Stockholders Meeting one (1) time; and provided further, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, the Company shall not be required to convene and hold the Company Stockholder Meeting at any time prior to the tenth (10th) Business Day immediately following the No-Shop Period Start Date.

6.5 Company Board Recommendation.

(a) Neither the Company Board nor any committee thereof shall (A) withhold, withdraw, amend, qualify or modify in a manner adverse to Newco, or publicly propose to withhold, withdraw, amend, qualify

or modify in a manner adverse to Newco, the Company Board Recommendation, (B) adopt, approve or recommend or publicly propose to adopt, approve or recommend an Acquisition Proposal, (C) fail to publicly reaffirm the Company Board Recommendation in the absence of a publicly announced Acquisition Proposal within two (2) Business Days after Newco so requests in writing, (D) fail to recommend against any publicly announced Acquisition Proposal and reaffirm the Company Board Recommendation, in each case, within ten (10) Business Days following the public announcement of such Acquisition Proposal and in any event at least two (2) Business Days prior to the Company Stockholders Meeting, or (E) fail to include the Company Board Recommendation in the Proxy Statement (any action described in clauses (A) through (E), a “Company Board Recommendation Change”); provided, however, that a “stop, look and listen” communication by the Company Board or any authorized committee thereof to the Company Stockholders pursuant to Rule 14d-9(f) of the Exchange Act, or any substantially similar communication, shall not be deemed to be a Company Board Recommendation Change; and provided further, that at any time prior to the receipt of the Requisite Stockholder Approval, the Company Board and/or any authorized committee thereof may effect a Company Board Recommendation Change in accordance with Section 5.3(f).

(b) Nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit the Company Board or any authorized committee thereof from (i) taking and disclosing to the Company Stockholders a position contemplated by Rule 14e-2(a) under the Exchange Act or complying with the provisions of Rule 14d-9 promulgated under the Exchange Act, and (ii) making any disclosure to the Company Stockholders that the Company Board or any authorized committee thereof shall have determined to make in good faith (after consultation with its outside legal counsel) in order to comply with its fiduciary duties under applicable law; provided, however, that, in either such case, any such statement(s) or disclosures made by the Company Board or any authorized committee thereof shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including the provisions of Article VIII and shall be deemed a Company Board Recommendation Change unless the Company Board expressly recommends against any publicly announced Acquisition Proposal and publicly reaffirms the Company Board Recommendation within the time period set forth in Section 6.5(a)(D) above.

(c) No Company Board Recommendation Change shall change the approval of the Company Board for purposes of causing any anti-takeover laws to be inapplicable to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or, for the avoidance of doubt, relieve the Company of its obligations under Sections 6.3 and 6.4 to convene and hold the Company Stockholder Meeting (unless this Agreement is earlier terminated). The Company shall promptly notify Newco of any breach, to the Knowledge of the Company, of any existing confidentiality agreement (including the standstill provisions thereof) by the counterparty thereto, or any request by the counterparty to any existing confidentiality agreement that the Company or the Company Board waive the standstill provision thereof or authorize or give permission to such counterparty to take actions that would otherwise be prohibited by the standstill provisions thereof. To the extent Newco and/or the Company believes that there has been a breach of any existing confidentiality agreement (including the standstill provisions thereof) by the counterparty thereto, upon Newco’s request, the Company shall take all reasonable actions to enforce such existing confidentiality agreement.

6.6 Financing.

(a) Newco and Merger Sub shall take (or cause to be taken) all actions, and do (or cause to be done) all things, necessary, proper or advisable to obtain the financing contemplated by the Commitment Letter, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Commitment Letter, including (i) maintaining in effect the Commitment Letter, (ii) satisfying on a timely basis all conditions applicable to Newco and Merger Sub set forth in the Commitment Letter that are within their control (other than, for the avoidance of doubt, Newco or Merger Sub’s conditions to Closing in Article VII hereof), (iii) so long as all conditions to Closing set forth in Sections 7.1 and 7.2 are satisfied (or waived by Newco), consummating the financing contemplated by the Commitment Letter at the Effective Time (and in any event prior to the Termination Date), and (iv) fully enforcing the Investor’s obligations (and the rights of Newco and Merger Sub) under the Commitment Letter, including (at the request of the Company) by filing one or more lawsuits (or assigning such right to the Company) against the Investor to fully enforce the Investor’s obligations (and the rights of Newco and Merger Sub) thereunder.

(b) Neither Newco nor Merger Sub shall amend, alter, or waive, or agree to amend, alter or waive (in any case whether by action or inaction), any term of the Commitment Letter without the prior written consent of the Company. Newco shall promptly (and in any event within one Business Day) notify the Company of (i) the expiration or termination (or attempted or purported termination, whether or not valid) of the Commitment Letter, or (ii) any refusal by the Investor to provide, any stated intent by the Investor to refuse to provide, or any expression of concern or reservation by the Investor regarding the enforceability of the Commitment Letter subject to the terms thereof or its ability to provide the full financing contemplated by the Commitment Letter.

(c) Prior to the Closing, the Company shall use its reasonable efforts to assist Newco in the arrangement of any third party debt financing requested by Newco for the purpose of financing the merger, fees and expenses incurred in connection therewith, and the other transactions contemplated hereby (the “Debt Financing”) (it being understood that the receipt of such Debt Financing is not a condition to Closing), including: (i) participating in meetings, presentations and due diligence sessions; (ii) assisting with the preparation of materials for presentations, memoranda and similar documents required in connection with Newco’s Debt Financing; and (iii) executing and delivering any definitive financing documents and certificates as may be reasonably requested by Newco, provided that such documents will not take effect until the Effective Time; provided, however, that nothing herein shall require such cooperation to the extent it would require the Company to agree to pay any fees, reimburse any expenses or give any indemnities prior to the Effective Time for which it is not reimbursed or indemnified.

6.7 Anti-Takeover Laws. The Company and the Company Board shall (i) take all actions necessary and within their power to ensure that no takeover statute or similar statute or regulation is or becomes applicable to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby and (ii) if any takeover statute or similar statute or regulation becomes applicable to this Agreement or any transactions contemplated hereby, take all action necessary and within their power to ensure that the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby may be consummated as promptly as practicable on the terms contemplated by this Agreement and otherwise to minimize the effect of such statute or regulation on the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby.

6.8 Access. At all times during the period commencing with the execution and delivery of this Agreement and continuing until the earlier to occur of the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Article VIII and the Effective Time, the Company shall afford Newco and its financial advisors, financing sources, business consultants, legal counsel, accountants and other agents and representatives reasonable access during normal business hours, upon reasonable notice, to the properties, books and records and personnel of the Company; provided, however, that the Company may restrict or otherwise prohibit access to any documents or information to the extent that (a) any applicable law or regulation (including any laws or regulations relating to security clearances) requires the Company to restrict or otherwise prohibit access to such documents or information, (b) access to such documents or information would give rise to a material risk of waiving any attorney-client privilege, work product doctrine or other applicable privilege applicable to such documents or information, or (c) access to a Contract to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or otherwise bound would violate or cause a default under, or give a third party the right terminate or accelerate the rights under, such Contract; and provided further, that nothing in this Section 6.8 shall be construed to require the Company or its Representatives to prepare any appraisals or opinions. Any investigation conducted pursuant to the access contemplated by this Section 6.8 shall be conducted in a manner that does not unreasonably interfere with the conduct of the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries or create a risk of damage or destruction to any property or assets of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. Any access to the Company’s properties shall be subject to the Company’s reasonable security measures and insurance requirements and shall not include the right to perform invasive testing. The terms and conditions of the Confidentiality Agreement shall apply to any information obtained by Newco or any of its financial advisors, business consultants, legal counsel, accountants and other agents and representatives in connection with any investigation conducted pursuant to the access contemplated by this Section 6.8.

6.9 Section 16(b) Exemption. The Company shall take all actions reasonably necessary to cause the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and any other dispositions of equity securities of the Company (including derivative securities) in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement by each individual who is a director or executive officer of the Company to be exempt under Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act.

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

(a) The Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries shall (and Newco shall cause the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries to) honor and fulfill in all respects the obligations of the Company and its Subsidiaries under any and all indemnification agreements between the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and any of their respective current or former directors, officers or employees (and in the case of employees, pursuant to those indemnification agreements set forth in Section 6.10 of the Company Disclosure Letter made available to Newco prior to the date of this Agreement) and any person who becomes a director, officer or employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries prior to the Effective Time (the “Indemnified Persons”). In addition, during the period commencing at the Effective Time and ending on the sixth anniversary of the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries shall (and Newco shall cause the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries to) cause the charters and bylaws (and other similar organizational documents) of the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries to contain provisions with respect to indemnification, exculpation and the advancement of expenses that are at least as favorable as the indemnification, exculpation and advancement of expenses provisions set forth in the Charter and bylaws (or other similar organizational documents) of the Company and its Subsidiaries as of the date hereof, and during such six-year period such provisions shall not be repealed, amended or otherwise modified in any manner except as required by applicable law.

(b) Without limiting the generality of the provisions of Section 6.10(a), during the period commencing at the Effective Time and ending on the sixth anniversary of the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall (and Newco shall cause the Surviving Corporation to) indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnified Person from and against any costs, fees and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and investigation expenses), judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages, liabilities and amounts paid in settlement in connection with any claim, proceeding, investigation or inquiry, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, to the extent such claim, proceeding, investigation or inquiry arises directly or indirectly out of or pertains directly or indirectly to (i) any action or omission or alleged action or omission in such Indemnified Person’s capacity as a director or officer of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or other Affiliates (regardless of whether such action or omission, or alleged action or omission, occurred prior to or at the Effective Time), or (ii) any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided, however, that if, at any time prior to the sixth anniversary of the Effective Time, any Indemnified Person delivers to Newco a written notice asserting a claim for indemnification under this Section 6.10(b), then the claim asserted in such notice shall survive the sixth anniversary of the Effective Time until such time as such claim is fully and finally resolved. In the event of any such claim, proceeding, investigation or inquiry, (i) the Surviving Corporation shall have the right to control the defense thereof after the Effective Time (it being understood that, by electing to control the defense thereof, the Surviving Corporation will be deemed to have waived any right to object to the Indemnified Person’s entitlement to indemnification hereunder with respect thereto), (ii) each Indemnified Person shall be entitled to retain his or her own counsel, whether or not the Surviving Corporation shall elect to control the defense of any such claim, proceeding, investigation or inquiry, (iii) the Surviving Corporation shall pay all reasonable fees and expenses of any counsel retained by an Indemnified Person promptly after statements therefor are received, whether or not the Surviving Corporation shall elect to control the defense of any such claim, proceeding, investigation or inquiry, and (iv) no Indemnified Person shall be liable for any settlement effected without his or her prior express written consent. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 6.10(b) or elsewhere in this Agreement, neither the Surviving Corporation nor any of its Affiliates (including Newco) shall settle or otherwise compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment or otherwise seek termination with respect to any claim, proceeding, investigation or inquiry for which indemnification may be sought by

an Indemnified Person under this Agreement unless such settlement, compromise, consent or termination includes an unconditional release of all Indemnified Persons from all liability arising out of such claim, proceeding, investigation or inquiry.

(c) During the period commencing at the Effective Time and ending on the sixth anniversary of the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall (and Newco shall cause the Surviving Corporation to) maintain in effect the Company’s current directors’ and officers’ liability insurance (“D&O Insurance”) in respect of acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Effective Time, covering each person covered by the D&O Insurance, on terms with respect to the coverage and amounts that are equivalent to those of the D&O Insurance; provided, however, that in satisfying its obligations under this Section 6.10(c), the Surviving Corporation shall not be obligated to pay annual premiums in excess of two hundred fifty percent (250%) of the amount paid by the Company for coverage for its last full fiscal year (such two hundred fifty percent (250%) amount, the “Maximum Annual Premium”) (which premiums the Company represents and warrants to be as set forth in Section 6.10(c) of the Company Disclosure Letter); provided, however, that that if the annual premiums of such insurance coverage exceed such amount, the Surviving Corporation shall be obligated to obtain a policy with the greatest coverage available for a cost not exceeding the Maximum Annual Premium. Prior to the Effective Time, notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, the Company may purchase a six-year “tail” prepaid policy on the D&O Insurance, provided that the annual cost for such “tail” policy shall not exceed the Maximum Annual Premium. In the event that the Company elects to purchase such a “tail” policy prior to the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall (and Newco shall cause the Surviving Corporation to) maintain such “tail” policy in full force and effect and continue to honor their respective obligations thereunder, in lieu of all other obligations of the Surviving Corporation (and Newco) under the first sentence of this Section 6.10(c) for so long as such “tail” policy shall be maintained in full force and effect.

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

(e) The obligations set forth in this Section 6.10 shall not be terminated, amended or otherwise modified in any manner that adversely affects any Indemnified Person (or any other person who is a beneficiary under the D&O Insurance or the “tail” policy referred to in Section 6.10(c) (and their heirs and representatives)) without the prior written consent of such affected Indemnified Person or other person who is a beneficiary under the D&O Insurance or the “tail” policy referred to in Section 6.10(c) (and their heirs and representatives). Each of the Indemnified Persons or other persons who are beneficiaries under the D&O Insurance or the “tail” policy referred to in Section 6.10(c) (and their heirs and representatives) are intended to be third party beneficiaries of this Section 6.10, with full rights of enforcement as if a party thereto. The rights of the Indemnified Persons (and other persons who are beneficiaries under the D&O Insurance or the “tail” policy referred to in Section 6.10(c) (and their heirs and representatives)) under this Section 6.10 shall be in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other rights that such persons may have under the charters, bylaws or other equivalent organizational documents, any and all indemnification agreements of or entered into by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or applicable law (whether at law or in equity).

(f) Nothing in this Agreement is intended to, shall be construed to or shall 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 Company or any of its Subsidiaries for any of their respective directors, officers or other employees, it being understood and agreed that the indemnification provided for in this Section 6.10 is not prior to or in substitution for any such claims under such policies.

6.11 Employee Matters.

(a) Newco hereby acknowledges that a “change of control” (or similar phrase) within the meaning of each of the Employee Plans listed in Section 6.11(a) of the Company Disclosure Letter, as applicable, will occur as of the Effective Time, as applicable.

(b) Immediately after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall (and Newco shall cause the Surviving Corporation to) honor all Employee Plans listed in Section 6.11(b) of the Company Disclosure Letter in accordance with their terms as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, provided that nothing in this sentence shall prohibit the Surviving Corporation from amending or terminating any Employee Plans, arrangements or agreements in accordance with their terms or if otherwise required by applicable law.

(c) To the extent that an Employee Plan is made available to any Continuing Employee on or following the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall cause to be granted to such Continuing Employee credit for all service with the Company and its Subsidiaries prior to the Effective Time for purposes of eligibility to participate, vesting and solely for purposes of vacation accrual and severance pay, benefit entitlement); provided, however, that such service need not be credited to the extent that it would result in duplication of coverage or benefits.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, no provision of this Agreement shall be deemed to (i) guarantee employment for any period of time for, or preclude the ability of Newco or the Surviving Corporation to terminate, any Continuing Employee at any time and for any or no reason, (ii) require Newco or the Surviving Corporation to continue any Employee Plan or prevent the amendment, modification or termination thereof after the Effective Time or (iii) create any third party beneficiary rights or obligations in any Person (including any Continuing Employee or any dependent or beneficiary thereof) other than the parties to this Agreement.

6.12 Obligations of Merger Sub. Newco shall take all action necessary to cause Merger Sub to perform its obligations under this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement.

(b) At all times during the period commencing with the execution and delivery of this Agreement and continuing until the earlier to occur of the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Article VIII and the Effective Time, Newco shall give prompt notice to the Company upon becoming aware that any representation or warranty made by Newco or Merger Sub in this Agreement has become untrue or inaccurate in any material respect, or of any failure of Newco or Merger Sub to comply with or satisfy in any material respect any covenant, condition or agreement to be complied with or satisfied by it under this Agreement, in any such case if and only to the extent that such untruth or inaccuracy, or such failure, would

reasonably be expected to cause any of the conditions to the obligations of the Company to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby set forth in Section 7.3(a) or 7.3(b) to fail to be satisfied at the Closing; provided, however, that no such notification shall affect or be deemed to modify any representation or warranty of Newco or Merger Sub set forth in this Agreement or the conditions to the obligations of the Company to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the remedies available to the parties hereunder; and provided further, that the terms and conditions of the Confidentiality Agreement shall apply to any information provided to the Company pursuant to this Section 6.13(b).

6.14 Public Statements and Disclosure. Neither the Company, on the one hand, nor Newco and Merger Sub, on the other hand, shall issue any public release or make any public announcement or disclosure concerning this Agreement or the Merger without the prior written consent of the other party(ies) (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), except as such release, announcement or disclosure may be required by applicable law or the rules or regulations of any applicable securities exchange or regulatory or Governmental Authority to which the relevant party is subject or submits, wherever situated, in which case the party required to make the release or announcement shall use its all reasonable efforts to allow the other party(ies) hereto reasonable time to comment on such release or announcement in advance of such issuance (it being understood that the final form and content of any such release or announcement, as well as the timing of any such release or announcement, shall be at the final discretion of the disclosing party); provided, however, that the restrictions set forth in this Section 6.14 shall not apply to any release, announcement or disclosure made or proposed to be made by the Company pursuant to Section 6.5.

6.15 Transaction Litigation. The Company and Newco shall give each other the opportunity to participate in the defense, settlement and/or prosecution of any Transaction Litigation; provided, that neither the Company nor any Subsidiary or Company representative or agent shall compromise, settle, come to an arrangement regarding or agree to compromise, settle or come to an arrangement regarding any Transaction Litigation or consent to the same unless Newco shall have consented in writing.

(d) by either Newco or the Company, at any time prior to the Effective Time, in the event that the Company shall have failed to obtain the Requisite Stockholder Approval at the Company Stockholder Meeting (or any adjournment or postponement thereof) at which a vote is taken on adoption of the Merger Agreement; or

(e) by Newco, if the Company shall have breached or failed to perform any of its representations, warranties, covenants or other agreements contained in this Agreement, which breach or failure to perform would result in a failure of a condition set forth in Section 7.1 or 7.2, provided that if such breach is capable of being cured by the Termination Date, Newco shall not be entitled to terminate this Agreement prior to the delivery by Newco to the Company of written notice of such breach, delivered at least thirty (30) days prior to such termination, stating Newco’s intention to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1(e) and the basis for such termination, and Newco shall not be entitled to terminate this Agreement if such breach has been cured prior to termination; or

(f) by Newco, if at any time the Company Board or any authorized committee thereof shall have effected a Company Board Recommendation Change; or

(g) by the Company, if Newco or Merger Sub shall have breached or failed to perform in any material respect any of its representations, warranties, covenants or other agreements contained in this Agreement, which breach or failure to perform would result in a failure of a condition set forth in Section 7.1 or 7.3, provided that if such breach is capable of being cured by the Termination Date, the Company shall not be

(h) by the Company, at any time prior to receiving the Requisite Stockholder Approval, in the event that: (A) the Company shall have received a Superior Proposal, (B) the Company Board or any authorized committee thereof shall have authorized the Company to enter into a definitive agreement to consummate the transaction contemplated by such Superior Proposal, (C) the Company shall have complied in all material respects with Section 5.3 with respect to such Acquisition Proposal and (D) concurrently with the termination of this Agreement, the Company pays Newco any Company Termination Fee contemplated by Section 8.3(b)(iii) and enters into the definitive agreement to consummate the transaction contemplated by such Superior Proposal.

The party hereto terminating this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1 shall deliver prompt written notice thereof to the other party(ies) hereto setting forth in reasonable detail the provision of this Section 8.1 pursuant to which this Agreement is being terminated and the facts and circumstances forming the basis for such termination under such provision.

8.2 Notice of Termination; Effect of Termination. Any proper and valid termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1 shall be effective immediately upon the delivery of written notice of the terminating party to the other party or parties hereto, as applicable. In the event of the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1, this Agreement shall be of no further force or effect without liability of any party or parties hereto, as applicable (or any partner, member, stockholder, director, officer, employee, affiliate, agent or other representative of such party or parties) to the other party or parties hereto, as applicable, except (a) for the terms of Sections 6.14, this 8.2, 8.3 and Article IX, each of which shall survive the termination of this Agreement, and (b) subject to Sections 8.3 and 9.8, nothing in this Agreement shall relieve any party or parties hereto, as applicable, from liability for any breach of, or fraud in connection with, this Agreement. In addition to the foregoing, no termination of this Agreement shall affect the obligations of the parties hereto set forth in the Confidentiality Agreement, all of which obligations shall survive termination of this Agreement in accordance with their terms.

8.3 Fees and Expenses.

(a) General. Except as set forth in this Section 8.3, all fees and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be paid by the party or parties, as applicable, incurring such fees and expenses whether or not the Merger is consummated.

(b) Company Payments.

(i) In the event that (A) this Agreement is validly terminated (x) pursuant to Section 8.1(e) as a result of a breach by the Company of the covenants contained in Sections 5.3, 6.3 or 6.4 or (y) pursuant to Section 8.1(d), (B) with respect to a termination under Section 8.1(d), following the execution and delivery of this Agreement and prior to the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(d), an Acquisition Proposal shall have been made public, and (C) within one year following the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(d) or 8.1(e), either a Competing Acquisition Transaction is consummated or the Company enters into a definitive agreement providing for a Competing Acquisition Transaction and such Competing Acquisition Transaction is subsequently consummated, then the Company shall pay to Vista Manager the Company Termination Fee (less any expenses previously paid to Newco pursuant to Section 8.3(e)), by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account or accounts designated in writing by Vista Manager.

(ii) In the event that this Agreement is validly terminated pursuant to Section 8.1(f), the Company shall pay to Vista Manager an amount in cash equal to $6,670,000, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account or accounts designated in writing by Vista Manager, within two (2) Business Days after the Company receives a written demand for payment from Vista Manager.

(iii) In the event that this Agreement is validly terminated pursuant to Section 8.1(h), the Company shall pay to Vista Manager the Company Termination Fee, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account or accounts designated in writing by Vista Manager, as a condition to the effectiveness of such termination.

(c) Single Payment Only. The parties hereto acknowledge and hereby agree that in no event shall the Company be required to pay the Company Termination Fee on more than one occasion, whether nor not the Company Termination Fee may be payable under more than one provision of this Agreement at the same or at different times and the occurrence of different events. The Vista Manager shall have the right to assign the right to receive the Company Termination fee to one or more Persons in its sole discretion.

(d) Liquidated Damages. In the event that Vista Manager shall receive the Company Termination Fee, the receipt of such fee shall be deemed to be liquidated damages for any and all losses or damages suffered or incurred by Newco, Merger Sub, any of their respective Affiliates or any other Person in connection with this Agreement (and the termination hereof), the transactions contemplated hereby (and the abandonment thereof) or any matter forming the basis for such termination, and none of Newco, Merger Sub, any of their respective Affiliates or any other Person shall be entitled to bring or maintain any other claim, action or proceeding against the Company or any of its Affiliates arising out of this Agreement, any of the transactions contemplated hereby or any matters forming the basis for such termination.

(e) Expense Reimbursement. In the event this Agreement is terminated by either Newco or the Company pursuant to Section 8.1(d) or by Newco pursuant to Section 8.1(e), then the Company shall, following receipt of an invoice therefor, promptly (in any event within two (2) Business Days) pay all of Newco’s reasonably documented out-of-pocket fees and expenses (including reasonable legal fees and expenses) actually incurred by Newco and its Affiliates on or prior to the termination of this Agreement in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including the Debt Financing and the financing contemplated by the Commitment Letter) (the “Newco Expenses”), which amount shall in no event exceed $1,000,000 in the aggregate, by wire transfer of same day funds to one or more accounts designated by Newco; provided, that the existence of circumstances which could require the Company Termination Fee to become subsequently payable by the Company pursuant to Section 8.3(b) shall not relieve the Company of its obligations to pay the Newco Expenses pursuant to this Section 8.3(e); provided, further, that the payment by the Company of Newco Expenses pursuant to this Section 8.3(e) shall not relieve the Company of any subsequent obligation to pay the Company Termination Fee pursuant to Section 8.3(b).

8.4 Amendment. Subject to applicable law and subject to the other provisions of this Agreement, this Agreement may be amended by the parties hereto at any time by execution of an instrument in writing signed on behalf of each of Newco, Merger Sub and the Company; provided, however, that in the event that the Company has received the Requisite Stockholder Approval, no amendment shall be made to this Agreement that requires the approval of such Company Stockholders under the DGCL without such approval.

8.5 Extension; Waiver. At any time and from time to time prior to the Effective Time, any party or parties hereto may, to the extent legally allowed and except as otherwise set forth herein, (a) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the other party or parties hereto, as applicable, (b) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties made to such party or parties hereto contained herein or in any document delivered pursuant hereto and (c) waive compliance with any of the agreements or conditions for the benefit of such party or parties hereto contained herein. Any agreement on the part of a party or parties hereto to any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed on behalf of such party or parties, as applicable. Any delay in exercising any right under this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of such right.

9.3 Assignment. No party may assign either this Agreement or any of its rights, interests, or obligations hereunder without the prior written approval of the other parties; provided, however, that Newco shall have the right to assign all or any portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (i) from and after the Effective Time, in connection with a merger or consolidation involving Newco or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of Newco or the Surviving Corporation, or (ii) from and after the Effective Time, to any lender

Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

9.4 Confidentiality. Newco has executed a Confidential Disclosure Agreement, dated April 28, 2009 (the “Confidentiality Agreement”), which will continue in full force and effect in accordance with its terms until the Effective Time. For purposes of the Confidentiality Agreement, the execution of this Agreement by the Company shall constitute written consent by the Company to allow Newco, Merger Sub and Newco’s Representatives to take all actions permitted or contemplated by this Agreement, including contacting potential debt or, following the No-Shop Period Start Date equity financing sources and entering into agreements with such Persons, including stockholders or members or management as contemplated by Sections 4.10 and 4.11 hereof, so long as such Persons agree to be bound by the Confidentiality Agreement.

9.5 Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the documents and instruments and other agreements among the parties hereto as contemplated by or referred to herein, including the Company Disclosure Letter and the Guarantee, constitute the entire agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof; provided, however, the Confidentiality Agreement shall not be superseded, shall survive any termination of this Agreement and shall continue in full force and effect until the earlier to occur of (a) the Effective Time and (b) the date on which the Confidentiality Agreement expires in accordance with its terms or is validly terminated by the parties thereto. EACH PARTY HERETO AGREES THAT, EXCEPT FOR THE REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES CONTAINED IN THIS AGREEMENT, NEITHER NEWCO AND MERGER SUB, ON THE ONE HAND, NOR THE COMPANY, ON THE OTHER HAND, MAKES ANY REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES TO THE OTHER, AND EACH PARTY HEREBY DISCLAIMS ANY OTHER REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, OR AS TO THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF ANY OTHER INFORMATION, MADE (OR MADE AVAILABLE BY) BY ITSELF OR ANY OF ITS REPRESENTATIVES, WITH RESPECT TO, OR IN CONNECTION WITH, THE NEGOTIATION, EXECUTION OR DELIVERY OF THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY, NOTWITHSTANDING THE DELIVERY OR DISCLOSURE TO THE OTHER OR THE OTHER’S REPRESENTATIVES OF ANY DOCUMENTATION OR OTHER INFORMATION WITH RESPECT TO ANY ONE OR MORE OF THE FOREGOING.

9.6 Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is not intended to, and shall not, confer upon any other Person any rights or remedies hereunder, except (a) as set forth in or contemplated by the terms and provisions of Sections 6.10 and 9.8(e), and (b) subject to Section 9.8, after the Effective Time and the consummation of the Merger in accordance with the terms hereof, the rights of holders of shares of the Company Common Stock, Company Options and Company Stock-Based Awards solely to receive the merger consideration set forth in Article II.

9.7 Severability. In the event that any provision of this Agreement, or the application thereof, becomes or is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, void or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement will continue in full force and effect and the application of such provision to other persons or circumstances will be interpreted so as reasonably to effect the intent of the parties hereto. The parties further agree to replace such void or unenforceable provision of this Agreement with a valid and enforceable provision that will achieve, to the extent possible, the economic, business and other purposes of such void or unenforceable provision.

9.8 Remedies.

(a) Except as otherwise provided herein (including, without limitation, Sections 9.8(b), (c), (d), and (e) below), any and all remedies herein expressly conferred upon a party will be deemed cumulative with and not exclusive of any other remedy conferred hereby, or by law or equity upon such party, and the

exercise by a party of any one remedy will not preclude the exercise of any other remedy. For purposes of clarity, the Company may not seek any remedy except and solely as provided in Sections 9.8(c) and (d) below, subject to the terms and conditions contained therein.

(b) The parties hereto hereby agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any provision of this Agreement was not performed in accordance with its specific terms or was otherwise breached, and that money damages or other legal remedies would not be an adequate remedy for any such damages. Accordingly, the parties hereto acknowledge and hereby agree that in the event of any breach or threatened breach by the Company, on the one hand, or Newco and Merger Sub, on the other hand, of any of their respective covenants or obligations set forth in this Agreement, the Commitment Letter or the Guarantee, the Company, on the one hand, and Newco and Merger Sub, on the other hand, shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent or restrain breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement, the Commitment Letter and the Guarantee by the other (as applicable), and to specifically enforce the terms and provisions of this Agreement to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of, or to enforce compliance with, the covenants and obligations of the other under this Agreement, the Commitment Letter and the Guarantee, and this right shall include the right of the Company to cause Newco and Merger Sub to fully enforce the terms of the Commitment letter against the Investor to the fullest extent permissible pursuant to the Commitment Letter and applicable laws and to thereafter cause the Merger to be consummated, so long as all conditions to the Merger have been satisfied. The Company, on the one hand, and Newco and Merger Sub, on the other hand, hereby agree not to raise any objections to the availability of the equitable remedy of specific performance to prevent or restrain breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement by the Company, on the one hand, or Newco or Merger Sub, on the other hand, and to specifically enforce the terms and provisions of this Agreement to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of, or to enforce compliance with, the covenants and obligations of Newco and Merger Sub under this Agreement.

(c) The Company hereby agrees that specific performance shall be its sole and exclusive remedy with respect to breaches by Newco or Merger Sub or any other Person or otherwise in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby and, except as provided in Section 9.8(d) below, that it may not seek or accept any other form of relief that may be available for breach under this Agreement, the Commitment Letter or the Guarantee or otherwise in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby (including monetary damages).

(d) If a court of competent jurisdiction has declined to specifically enforce the obligations of Newco and Merger Sub to consummate the Merger pursuant to a claim for specific performance brought against Newco and Merger Sub pursuant to this Section 9.8 and has instead granted an award of damages for such alleged breach against Newco or Guarantor, the Company may enforce such award and accept damages for such alleged breach (which Newco agrees may include damages based upon a decrease in share value or lost premium) only if, within two (2) weeks following such determination, Newco and Merger Sub are not willing to consummate the Merger in accordance with Article II of this Agreement. In addition, the Company agrees to cause any Legal Proceeding still proceeding to be dismissed with prejudice at such time as Newco and Merger Sub consummate the Merger in accordance with Article II of this Agreement or are otherwise willing to do so.

(e) The Company further agrees that (x) the seeking of the remedies provided for in Section 9.8(b) by Newco or Merger Sub shall not in any respect constitute a waiver by either Newco or Merger Sub of its right to seek any other form of relief that may be available to either of them under this Agreement (including monetary damages) in the event that this Agreement has been terminated or in the event that the remedies provided for in Section 9.8(b) are not available or otherwise are not granted, and (y) nothing set forth in Section 9.8(a) shall require Newco or Merger Sub to institute any proceeding for (or limit Newco’s or Merger Sub’s right to institute any proceeding for) specific performance under Section 9.8(a) prior or as a condition to exercising any termination right under Article VIII (and pursuing damages after such termination), nor shall the commencement of any Legal Proceeding pursuant to Section 9.8(b) or anything set forth in this Section 9.8(e) restrict or limit Newco’s or Merger Sub’s right to terminate this Agreement in accordance with the terms of Article VIII or pursue any other remedies under this Agreement that may be

available then or thereafter. Notwithstanding anything set forth herein to the contrary, from and after the Effective Time, none of the Company, its Affiliates, or their respective current or former directors, stockholders, optionholders, officers or employees shall be entitled to seek or recover monetary or other damages or relief (including equitable relief) against Newco, the Surviving Corporation, the Guarantor, the Investor or any of their respective Affiliates in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby except for (a) claims against the Surviving Corporation as set forth and contemplated by Section 6.10 and (b) after the Effective Time and the consummation of the Merger in accordance with the terms hereof, the claims against the Surviving Corporation by holders of shares of the Company Common Stock solely to receive the merger consideration (or, in lieu thereof, to enforce valid and perfected appraisal claims under Section 242 of the DGCL) as set forth in Article II. If any Legal Proceedings instituted by the Company or its Affiliates against Newco, Merger Sub, the Guarantor, the Investor or any of their respective Affiliates are pending as of the Effective Time, the Company shall cause such Legal Proceedings to be dismissed with prejudice as of the Effective Time, except for claims against the Surviving Corporation as set forth and contemplated by Section 6.10. The provisions of this Section 9.8 are intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, the Guarantor, the Investor and their respective Affiliates.

9.9 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, regardless of the laws that might otherwise govern under applicable principles of conflicts of law thereof.

9.10 Consent to Jurisdiction. Each of the parties hereto (a) irrevocably consents to the service of the summons and complaint and any other process in any action or proceeding relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Commitment Letter and the Guarantee, for and on behalf of itself or any of its properties or assets, in accordance with Section 9.10 or in such other manner as may be permitted by applicable law, and nothing in this Section 9.10 shall affect the right of any party to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by applicable law, (b) irrevocably and unconditionally consents and submits itself and its properties and assets in any action or proceeding to the exclusive general jurisdiction of the Delaware Court of Chancery and any state appellate court therefrom within the State of Delaware (or, if the Delaware Court of Chancery declines to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, any state or federal court within the State of Delaware) in the event any dispute or controversy arises out of this Agreement, the Commitment Letter, the Guarantee or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, the Commitment Letter, the Guarantee, or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect thereof, (c) agrees that it will not attempt to deny or defeat such personal jurisdiction by motion or other request for leave from any such court, (d) agrees that any actions or proceedings arising in connection with this Agreement, the Commitment Letter, the Guarantee or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be brought, tried and determined only in the Delaware Court of Chancery and any state appellate court therefrom within the State of Delaware (or, if the Delaware Court of Chancery declines to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, any state or federal court within the State of Delaware), (e) waives any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the venue of any such action or proceeding in any such court or that such action or proceeding was brought in an inconvenient court and agrees not to plead or claim the same and (f) agrees that it will not bring any action relating to this Agreement, the Commitment Letter, the Guarantee or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby in any court other than the aforesaid courts. Each of Newco, Merger Sub and the Company agrees that a final judgment in any action or proceeding in such courts as provided above shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by applicable law.

9.11 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH OF NEWCO, COMPANY AND MERGER SUB HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE COMMITMENT LETTER, THE GUARANTEE OR THE ACTIONS OF NEWCO, COMPANY OR MERGER SUB IN THE NEGOTIATION, ADMINISTRATION, PERFORMANCE AND ENFORCEMENT HEREOF OR THEREOF.

9.12 Company Disclosure Letter References. The parties hereto agree that the disclosure set forth in any particular section or subsection of the Company Disclosure Letter shall be deemed to be an exception to (or, as applicable, a disclosure for purposes of) (i) the representations and warranties (or covenants, as applicable) of the Company that are set forth in the corresponding section or subsection of this Agreement, and (ii) any other representations and warranties (or covenants, as applicable) of the Company that are set forth in this Agreement, but in the case of this clause (ii) only if the relevance of that disclosure as an exception to (or a disclosure for purposes of) such other representations and warranties (or covenants, as applicable) is reasonably apparent on the face of such disclosure.

9.13 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the parties and delivered to the other party, it being understood that all parties need not sign the same counterpart.
