If, after the Effective Time, any Dissenting Stockholder shall fail to perfect or shall have effectively withdrawn or lost the right to seek appraisal rights, the Dissenting Shares held by such stockholder shall immediately be converted into the right to receive the cash payable pursuant to Section 1.8(a) in respect of such shares as if such shares never had been Dissenting Shares, and Parent shall issue and deliver to the holder thereof, at (or as promptly as reasonably practicable after) the applicable time or times specified in Section 1.10(c), following the satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 1.10(c), the amount of cash to which such holder would be entitled in respect thereof under Section 1.8(a) as if such shares never had been Dissenting Shares (and all such cash shall be deemed for all purposes of this Agreement to have become deliverable to such holder pursuant to Section 1.8(a)).

7

immediately prior to or at the Effective Time. Therefore, cash otherwise payable pursuant to Section 1.8(a)(i) in exchange for each share of Company Common Stock that immediately prior to the Effective Time was restricted or not fully vested (“ Unvested Cash ”) shall not be payable by Parent at the Effective Time, and shall instead be paid out by Parent on the date that such share of Company Common Stock would have become vested under the vesting schedule in place for such share immediately prior to or at the Effective Time (subject to the conditions and other terms of such vesting schedule, any applicable employment, change in control or retention plan or agreement (as modified or superseded by any Equity Agreement and/or Benefits Waiver), and provided that if such conditions and terms are not satisfied and vesting ceases to continue at any point after the Effective Time, no cash payments shall be made, except the repurchase price described below, with respect to the unvested shares of Company Common Stock). Parent shall make, or in its discretion shall cause a paying agent authorized by Parent to administer such payments on Parent’s behalf to make, all such required payments to holders of Unvested Cash no later than the 15 ^th day of the calendar month immediately following the calendar month in which such Unvested Cash would have become vested under the original vesting schedule. All amounts payable pursuant to this Section 1.9(a) shall be subject to any required withholding of Taxes and shall be paid without interest. A portion of such newly vested cash so distributed will be treated as imputed interest to the extent required under the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder. All outstanding Repurchase Rights with respect to Unvested Company Shares that the Company may hold immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be assigned to Parent in the Merger and shall thereafter be exercisable by Parent upon the same terms and subject to the same conditions that were in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time (including those under any applicable employment, change in control or retention plan or agreement (as modified or superseded by any Equity Agreement and/or Benefits Waiver)), except that Repurchase Rights may be exercised by Parent retaining the Unvested Cash into which such Unvested Company Shares have been converted and paying to the former holder thereof the repurchase price in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time for each such share subject to that Repurchase Right. Following the Effective Time, no Unvested Cash, or right thereto, may be pledged, encumbered, sold, assigned or transferred (including any transfer by operation of law), by any Person, other than Parent, or be taken or reached by any legal or equitable process in satisfaction of any debt or other liability of such Person, prior to the distribution to such Person of such Unvested Cash in accordance with this Agreement.

(b) Company Options and Company RSUs held by Continuing Employees or as 2000 Plan Awards .

(c) 2007 Plan Awards Held by Persons Other than Continuing Employees . Parent will not assume any 2007 Plan Awards held by Persons who are not Continuing Employees. At the Effective Time, each vested 2007 Plan Award held by a Person that is not a Continuing Employee shall, by virtue of the Merger and without the need for any further action on the part of the holder thereof, subject to and in accordance with Section 1.10, be converted into and represent the right to receive the Cash Out Amount from Parent for such Company Option or Company RSU; provided , however , that the Surviving Corporation and Parent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the Cash Out Amount the amount of withholding for Taxes required to be deducted and withheld as a result of the transactions contemplated hereby. The Cash Out Amount payable to each Person covered by this Section 1.9(c) hereunder shall be rounded to the nearest cent and computed after aggregating cash amounts for all Company Options or Company RSUs represented by a particular grant held by such non-Continuing Employee. Promptly following the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the payment to each Person that is not a Continuing Employee but holds a 2007 Plan Award of an amount equal to the Cash Out Amount with respect to each such Company Option and Company RSU. At the Effective Time, each 2007 Plan Award that is held by a Person covered by this Section 1.9(c) will, by virtue of the Merger and without any further action on the part of any holder thereof, be cancelled and extinguished.

The execution and delivery of this Agreement and, subject to the Company’s Stockholder Approval being obtained, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Company. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Company and, assuming due authorization, execution, and delivery thereof by each of the other parties hereto, constitutes the valid and binding obligation of the Company

 

13

enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, subject only to the effect, if any, of (i) applicable bankruptcy and other similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally, and (ii) Legal Requirements governing specific performance, injunctive relief and other equitable remedies.

Subject to the accuracy of the representation set forth in Section 3.4 hereof, the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of all shares of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding on the record date set for the meeting of the Company’s stockholders to adopt this Agreement (such approval, the “ Company Stockholder Approval ,” and such stockholders’ meeting, the “ Company Stockholders Meeting ”) is the only vote of the holders of capital stock of the Company necessary to adopt this Agreement and approve the Merger under applicable Legal Requirements, the rules and regulations of The NASDAQ Stock Market and the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws.

(b) The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Company does not, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will not, (i) result in the creation of any Encumbrance on any of the material properties or assets of the Company or any Subsidiary, or (ii) conflict with, or result in any violation of or default under (with or without notice or lapse of time, or both), or give rise to a right of termination, cancellation or acceleration of any obligation or loss of any benefit under, or require any consent, approval or waiver from any Person pursuant to, (A) any provision of the Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws or other equivalent organizational documents of the Company or any Subsidiary, in each case as amended to date, (B) subject to obtaining the Company Stockholder Approval and compliance with the requirements set forth in Section 2.3(c), any Legal Requirement applicable to the Company or any Subsidiary or any of their respective properties or assets, or (C) any Material Contract (as defined in Section 2.18), other than, in the case of (B) and (C) above, such conflicts, violations, defaults, Encumbrances, terminations, cancellations, accelerations, losses, consents, approvals or waivers as would not be material to the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole.

(c) No consent, approval, order or authorization of, or registration, declaration or filing with, any Governmental Entity is required by or with respect to the Company or any Subsidiary in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, except for (i) the filing of the Certificate of Merger, as provided in Section 1.4, (ii) such filings as may be required under the HSR Act and any applicable foreign Antitrust Law (as defined in Section 5.6), (iii) the filing of the Proxy Statement (as defined in Section 2.21) with the SEC and such reports and filings as may be required under the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, (iv) such other filings and notifications as may be required under federal, state or foreign securities laws or the rules and regulations of The NASDAQ Stock Market, and (v) such other consents, authorizations, filings, approvals, notices and registrations which, if not obtained or made, would not, individually or in the aggregate, be material to the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole or prevent, materially alter or materially delay any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(d) Subject to the accuracy of the representation set forth in Section 3.4 hereof, the approval of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby by the Company Board referred to in Section 2.3(a) constitute all of the approvals that are necessary to render inapplicable to this Agreement and the Merger the restrictions on “business combinations” with “interested stockholders” (each as defined in Section 203 of Delaware Law) set forth in Section 203 of Delaware Law and represent the only actions necessary to ensure that Section 203 of Delaware Law does not and will not apply to the execution, delivery, or performance of this Agreement or the consummation of the Merger. No other state takeover or other similar statute or regulation is applicable to this Agreement or the Merger that would interfere with the consummation of the Merger.

(a) The Company has filed on a timely basis all forms, statements, schedules, reports and documents (including items incorporated by reference) required to be filed or furnished by the Company with the SEC since the Effective Date. All such required forms, statements, schedules, reports and documents (including those that Company may file subsequent to the Agreement Date) are referred to herein as the “ Company SEC Reports .” As of their respective filing dates, the Company SEC Reports (i) complied, or will comply when filed, with the requirements of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, as the case may be, and the rules and regulations of the SEC thereunder applicable to such Company SEC Reports, and (ii) did not at the time they were filed (or if amended or superseded by a filing prior to the Agreement Date, then on the date of such filing) contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, except to the extent corrected prior to the Agreement Date by a subsequently filed Company SEC Report. None of the Subsidiaries is currently required to file any forms, reports or other documents with the SEC under the Exchange Act.

(b) Each of the consolidated financial statements (including, in each case, any related notes thereto) contained in the Company SEC Reports (the “ Financial Statements ”), including each Company SEC Report filed after the Agreement Date until the Closing, at the time filed (i) complied or will comply as to form in all material respects with the published rules and regulations of the SEC with respect thereto, (ii) were or will be prepared in accordance with GAAP applied on a consistent basis throughout the periods involved (except as may be indicated in the notes thereto or, in the case of unaudited interim financial statements, as may be permitted by the SEC on Form 10-Q, 8-K or any successor form under the Exchange Act), and (iii) fairly presented or will fairly present in all material respects the consolidated financial position of the Company and its Subsidiaries as of the respective dates therein indicated and the consolidated results of the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ operations and cash flows for the periods indicated, except that the unaudited interim financial statements may not contain footnotes and were or are subject to normal and recurring year-end audit adjustments. The unaudited consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of June 30, 2009 (the “ Company Balance Sheet Date ”) contained in the Company SEC Reports is hereinafter referred to as the “ Company Balance Sheet .” Except as disclosed in the Financial Statements (for the avoidance of doubt excluding any risk factors or forward-looking statements contained therein), since the Company Balance Sheet Date, neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has any liabilities (absolute, accrued, contingent or otherwise) required under GAAP to be set forth on a balance sheet which are, individually or in the aggregate, material to the business, results of operations or financial condition of the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole, except for: (i) liabilities incurred from the Company Balance Sheet Date to the Agreement Date in the Ordinary Course of Business, (ii) those reflected on, or adequately reserved against in, the Company Balance Sheet, (iii) the fees and expenses of investment bankers, attorneys, consultants, and accountants incurred in connection with this Agreement, and (iv) liabilities incurred after the Agreement Date that would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on the Company. Except as reflected in the Financial Statements, neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is a party to any material off-balance sheet arrangements (as defined in Item 303 of Regulation S-K promulgated under the Exchange Act (“ Regulation S-K ”)). All reserves that are set forth in or reflected in the Company Balance Sheet have been established in accordance with GAAP consistently applied and are adequate as of the Company Balance Sheet Date.

The Financial Statements comply in all material respects with the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants’ Statement of Position 97-2 for the products covered by such standard. The Company has not had any material dispute with any of its auditors regarding accounting matters or policies during any of its past three full fiscal years or during the current fiscal year that is currently outstanding or that resulted in a past adjustment to, or any restatement of, the Financial Statements. The Financial Statements are consistent in all material respects with the books and records of the Company and each Subsidiary.

(c) The Company has heretofore made available to Parent a complete and correct copy of any amendments or modifications, which have not yet been filed with the SEC but which are required to be filed, to agreements, documents or other instruments which previously had been filed by the Company with the SEC pursuant to the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, as well as any comment letters or similar correspondence received by the Company from the SEC for the Company’s three prior fiscal years and its current fiscal year. The SEC has not provided comments to the Company in connection with any Company SEC Reports that to the Company’s knowledge remain unresolved. To the knowledge of the Company, no investigation by the SEC with respect to the Company or any Subsidiary is pending or threatened.

(d) The Company has established and maintains (i) a system of internal accounting controls that complies with Section 13(b)(2)(B) of the Exchange Act, (ii) “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in Rule 13a-15 promulgated under the Exchange Act) required by Rule 13a-15 or 15d-15 under the Exchange Act and such disclosure controls and procedures are designed to be effective for the purpose for which they were established, and (iii) “internal control over financial reporting” (as defined in Rule 13a-15 promulgated under the Exchange Act) and such internal control over financial reporting is designed to be effective (based on the criteria issued by the Committee on Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Committee on “Internal Control-Integrated Framework”) in providing reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of the Company’s financial reporting and the preparation of the Company’s financial statements in accordance with GAAP. Each of the principal executive officer of the Company and the principal financial officer of the Company (or each former principal executive officer of the Company and each former principal financial officer of the Company, as applicable) has made all certifications required by Sections 302 and 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (“ SOXA ”) and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder with respect to the Company SEC Reports and the statements contained in such certifications were true and accurate in all material respects as of the date made. There are no “significant deficiencies” or “material weaknesses” (as defined by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board) in the design or operation of the Company’s internal controls and procedures which could adversely affect the Company’s ability to record, process, summarize and report financial data. The Company has adopted a code of ethics, as defined by Item 406(b) of Regulation S-K for senior financial, accounting and compliance officers and those performing similar functions. The Company has disclosed any violation or waiver of such code of ethics, as required by Section 406(b) of SOXA. To the Company’s knowledge, there is no fraud or any material violation of the Company’s code of ethics that involves management or other employees who have a significant role in the Company’s internal controls and procedures.

(e) The audit committee of the Company Board includes an “audit committee financial expert,” as defined by Item 401(h)(2) of Regulation S-K. To the Company’s knowledge, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, which has expressed its opinion with respect to the financial statements of the Company and its Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2008 and for each of the fiscal years then ended included in the Company SEC Reports (including the related notes), is “independent” with respect to the Company and its Subsidiaries within the meaning of Regulation S-X since the Effective Date. The Company has made such disclosure of non-audit services performed by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP in its proxy statements with respect to its annual meetings of stockholders as is required under the rules and regulations of the SEC and all such non-audit services have been approved in advance by the audit committee of the Company Board.

(f) Since the Effective Date, neither the Company nor any Subsidiaries nor, to Company’s knowledge, any director, officer, employee, auditor, accountant or representative of the Company or any Subsidiary has received or otherwise had or obtained knowledge of any material complaint, allegation, assertion or claim, whether written or oral, in each case, regarding improper, wrongful, or fraudulent accounting or auditing practices, procedures, methodologies or methods of the Company or any Subsidiary or their respective internal accounting controls or any material inaccuracy in the Company’s financial statements. No attorney representing the Company or any Subsidiary, whether or not employed by the Company or any Subsidiary, has reported to the Company Board or any committee thereof or to any director or officer of the Company evidence of fraud or a material violation of securities laws or other Legal Requirements, breach of fiduciary duty or similar violation by Company or any of its officers, directors, employees or agents.

All grants of Company Options and Company RSUs are in compliance with the terms of the applicable Company Option Plan under which such Company Options and Company RSUs were granted. The Company has not granted any Company Option or Company RSU to any employee of the Company or its Subsidiaries prior to the date of commencement of employment of such employee with the Company or such Subsidiary. The Company has not granted any Company Options at an exercise price that represents a discount from the fair market value of such Company Option on the valid date of grant of such Company Option and the Company has validly disclosed any re-pricing of Company Options in its financial statements. Neither the Company, its Affiliates, the Company Board, any Company Board committee nor the Chief Executive Officer has engaged in (i) the back-dating or falsification of documentation with respect to the grant of any Company Option for the purpose of lowering the exercise price at which such Company Option was granted, or (ii) the intentional delay of the grant of Company Options in anticipation of forthcoming public announcements regarding the Company or its business that could reasonably be expected to result in an increase or decrease of the trading price of the Company’s capital stock on NASDAQ, in either case for the purpose of increasing the value of such Company Options or Company RSUs for the relevant optionee as a result of such change in such trading price. All Company Options and Company RSUs have been properly accounted for in the Company’s financial statements and reported in compliance with applicable accounting requirements and the published rules and regulations of the SEC with respect thereto and, to the Company’s knowledge, there is no basis for any claim that the grant date of any Company Option or Company RSUs is inaccurate.
