Shares for the Merger Consideration Per Series G Share pursuant to

(a)
Exchange Agent . At or prior to the Effective
Time, the Parent shall deposit or cause to be deposited $4,787,833
(or such greater amount as shall be necessary to consummate the
Merger and pay the full amount of the Merger Consideration) in
immediately available funds with Computershare Trust or another
bank or trust company selected by the Buyer and reasonably
acceptable to the Company (the “ Exchange Agent
”), for the benefit of the holders of Common Shares, the
Series E Shares and the Series G Shares outstanding immediately
prior to the Effective Time, for payment through the Exchange Agent
in accordance with this Section 3.2, which amount will be
sufficient to make payment of the Merger Consideration Per Common
Share, the Merger Consideration Per Series E Share, and the Merger
Consideration Per Series G Share pursuant to Section 3.1 in
exchange for all of the Outstanding Common Shares, Outstanding
Series E Shares, and Outstanding Series G Shares (the “
Exchange Fund ”).
(b)
Exchange Procedures . As soon as reasonably
practicable, the Parent shall cause the Exchange Agent to mail to
each holder of record of a certificate which immediately prior to
the Effective Time represented outstanding Common Shares, Series E
Shares, and Series G Shares (each, a “ Certificate
”) (i) a letter of transmittal in customary form and
(ii) instructions for effecting the surrender of the
Certificates in exchange for the Merger Consideration Per Common
Share, the Merger Consideration Per Series E Share, and the Merger
Consideration Per Series G Share (as the case may be)
payable with respect thereto. Upon surrender of a
Certificate for cancellation to the Exchange Agent, together with
such letter of transmittal, duly executed, the holder of such
Certificate shall be paid promptly in exchange therefor cash in an
amount equal to the Merger Consideration Per Common Share, the
Merger Consideration Per Series E Share, and the Merger
Consideration Per Series G Share that such holder has the right to
receive pursuant to the provisions of this Article III, and the
Certificate so surrendered shall immediately be
cancelled. In the event of a transfer of ownership of
Common Shares, Series E Shares and Series G Shares which is not
registered in the transfer records of the Company, the Merger
Consideration Per Common Share, the Merger Consideration Per Series
E Share, or the Merger Consideration Per Series G Share may be paid
to a person other than the person in whose name the Certificate so
surrendered is registered, if such Certificate is presented to the
Exchange Agent, accompanied by all documents required to evidence
and effect such transfer and by evidence that any applicable stock
transfer taxes have been paid. Until surrendered as
contemplated by this Section 3.2, each Certificate shall be
deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the
right to receive upon such surrender the Merger Consideration Per
Common Share, the Merger Consideration Per Series E Share, or the
Merger Consideration Per Series G Share, as the case may be, as
contemplated by this Section 3.2.
(b)
Transfer Books; No Further Ownership Rights in the Outstanding
Shares . At the Effective Time, the stock transfer
books of the Company will be closed, and thereafter there will be
no further registration of transfers of the Outstanding Common
Shares, Outstanding Series E Shares or Outstanding Series G Shares
(collectively, the “Outstanding Shares”) on the records
of the Company. From and after the Effective Time, the
holders of Certificates evidencing Outstanding Common Shares,
Outstanding Series E Shares or Outstanding Series G Shares ease to
have any rights with respect to such Outstanding Shares, except as
otherwise provided in this Agreement or by applicable
law.
(c)
Withholding . The Parent may deduct and withhold
from the Merger Consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this
Agreement to any holder of any Outstanding Shares such amounts as
the Parent is required to deduct and withhold under applicable law
with respect to the making of such payment. To the
extent that amounts are so withheld by the Parent, such withheld
amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as
having been paid to the holder of Outstanding Shares in respect of
whom such deduction and withholding was made by the
Parent.
Section 3.3
Dissenting Shares . Notwithstanding anything in
this Agreement to the contrary, no Outstanding Shares the holder of
which has complied with the applicable provisions of the DGCL as to
dissenter's rights ("Dissenting Shares") shall be deemed converted
into and to represent the right to receive the Merger
Consideration, and the holders of Dissenting Shares, if any, will
be entitled to payment, solely from the Surviving Corporation, of
the appraised value of such Dissenting Shares, to the extent
permitted by and in accordance with the applicable provisions of
the DGCL; provided, however , that (a) if any holder of
Dissenting Shares shall, under the circumstances permitted by the
DGCL, subsequently deliver a written withdrawal of that
holder’s demand for appraisal of such Dissenting Shares, or
(b) if any holder fails to establish that holder’s
entitlement to rights to payment as provided in the applicable
provisions of the DGCL, or (c) if neither any holder of Dissenting
Shares nor the Surviving Corporation has filed a petition demanding
a determination of the value of all Dissenting Shares within the
time provided in the applicable provisions of the DGCL, such holder
or holders shall forfeit such right to payment for such
Dissenting Shares pursuant to the DGCL, and each such Outstanding
Share will not be considered a Dissenting Share but will thereupon
be converted into the right to receive the Merger
Consideration.
Section
3.4
Options . Immediately prior to the Effective Time, each
outstanding option to acquire Common Shares held by any
Company employee or by any other person (each, an “
Option ”) granted or assumed under the 1999 Stock
Option/Stock Issuance Plan or the 2007 Equity Incentive Plan
(collectively, as amended, the “ Stock Plans ”),
whether or not then exercisable, shall be cancelled by the Company,
and the holder thereof shall be entitled to receive as soon as
practicable after the Effective Time from the Parent following the
Merger in consideration for such cancellation an amount in cash
equal to the product of (a) the number of Common Shares previously
subject to each such Option and (b) the excess, if any, of the
Merger Consideration Per Common Share over the exercise price per
Common Share previously subject to such Option (collectively, the
“ Option Consideration ”) (it being understood
that if any such exercise price exceeds the Merger Consideration
Per Common Share, the amount payable in respect of such Option
shall be zero), reduced by the amount of any withholding or other
Taxes required by Law to be withheld; it being understood that with
respect to an Option held by a person whose employment by the
Company was terminated prior to the Effective Time, consideration
shall only be paid with respect to the portion of such Option that
was outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and was
vested as of the time such person’s employment relationship
with the Company terminated. The Company shall use such procedures
as it deems necessary and consistent with the terms of the
respective Stock Plan to implement the provisions contemplated
herein. Immediately prior to the Effective Time, the
Company shall deposit in a bank account an amount of cash, if any,
equal to the Option Consideration for the payment of any options
that are eligible for Option Consideration (subject to any
applicable withholding Tax), together with instructions that such
cash be promptly distributed following the Effective Time to the
holders of such options that are eligible for Option Consideration
in accordance with this Section 3.4.
Section
3.5
Warrants . Each warrant to purchase Common Shares
that is outstanding as of the Effective Time (each, a
“Warrant”) shall be converted at the Effective Time
into the right to receive a cash amount, if any, equal to the
Warrant Consideration (as defined below) for each Common Share then
subject to such Warrant. Prior to the Effective Time,
the Company shall take all necessary action and timely provide all
notices to effect the conversion of such Warrants as contemplated
by this Section 3.5. Promptly following the Effective
Time, the Company shall deposit in a bank account an amount of
cash, if any, equal to the sum of the aggregate Warrant
Consideration for each such Warrant then outstanding (subject to
any applicable withholding Tax), together with instructions that
such cash be promptly distributed following the Effective Time to
the holders of such Warrants in accordance with this Section
3.5. For purposes of this Agreement, “Warrant
Consideration” means, with respect to Common Share issuable
under a particular Warrant, an amount equal to the excess, if any,
of: (i) the Merger Consideration per Common Share, over (ii) the
exercise price payable in respect of such Common Share issuable
under such Warrant (it being understood that if the exercise price
payable in respect of such Common Share issuable under such Warrant
exceeds the Merger Consideration per share, the Warrant
Consideration in respect of such Warrants shall be
zero).
Section 3.5
Closing . The Closing of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement (the "Closing") will take place at
the office of the Parent at 3160 Pinebrook Road, Park
