5

portion of the Merger Consideration to which such holder is entitled upon surrender of said Certificates, subject to the restrictions set forth herein.

    (c)     Payments with respect to Unsurrendered Company Common Stock; No Liability .

Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of Parent, the Surviving Corporation nor the Paying Agent shall be liable to any former holder of Company Common Stock for any portion of the Merger Consideration properly delivered in respect of such Company Common Stock to a public official pursuant to any abandoned property, escheat or other similar law.

    (d) Transfers of Ownership .

To the extent such amounts are so deducted or withheld, 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.

        1.9     No Further Ownership Rights in Company Common Stock . Payment of the Merger Consideration shall be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to the Company Common Stock, and after the Effective Time, there shall be no further registration of transfers on the records of the Surviving Corporation of the Company Common Stock which were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates are presented to the Surviving Corporation for any reason, they shall be canceled and exchanged as provided in this Article I .

Consideration payable with respect thereto; provided, however, that Parent or the Paying Agent may, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the payment of such portion of the Merger Consideration, require the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificates to deliver a bond in such reasonable and customary amount as it may direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against Parent, the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent with respect to the Certificates alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.

        1.11     Adjustments . In the event of any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend (including any dividend or distribution of securities convertible into Company Common Stock, whether directly or indirectly), reorganization, reclassification, combination, recapitalization or other like change with respect to the Company Common Stock occurring after the date of this Agreement and prior to the Effective Time, all references in this Agreement to specified numbers of shares of any class or series affected thereby, and all calculations provided for that are based upon numbers of shares of any class or series (or trading prices therefor) affected thereby, shall be equitably adjusted to the extent necessary to provide the parties the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, reorganization, reclassification, combination, recapitalization or other like change.

13

principal financial officer of the Company required by Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (" SOX ") with respect to such reports. For purposes of this Agreement, "principal executive officer" and "principal financial officer" shall have the meanings given to such terms in SOX.

As used in this section, a "significant deficiency" in controls means a control deficiency that adversely affects the Company's ability to initiate, authorize, record, process, or report external financial data reliably in accordance with GAAP. A "significant deficiency" may be a single deficiency or a combination of deficiencies that results in more than a remote likelihood that a misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements that is more than inconsequential will not be prevented or detected. As used in this section, a "material weakness" in controls means a significant deficiency, or a combination of significant deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected. To the Company's knowledge, there is no fraud, whether or not material, that involves any Employee (as defined in Section 2.11(a)(v) ) who has a significant role in the Company's internal controls and procedures.
