ARTICLE I

THE MERGER

Section 1.01 The Merger. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, at the Effective Time (as defined in Section 1.03), Merger Sub shall be merged with and into the Company and the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub shall thereupon cease. The Company shall be the surviving corporation in the Merger (sometimes hereinafter referred to as the "Surviving Corporation"), and the separate corporate existence of the Company, with all its rights, privileges, immunities, powers and franchises, shall continue unaffected by the Merger. The Merger shall have the effects specified in the Delaware General Corporation Law (the "DGCL").

Section 1.02 Closing. Unless otherwise mutually agreed in writing between the Company and Purchaser, the closing for the Merger (the "Closing") shall take place at the offices of Sullivan & Cromwell LLP, 125 Broad Street, New York, New York, on the first business day


of the first calendar month (the "Closing Date") that follows the month in which the last to be satisfied or waived of the conditions set forth in Article VII (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the fulfillment or waiver of those conditions) shall be satisfied or waived in accordance with this Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, the term "business day" shall mean any day ending at 11:59 p.m. (Pacific Time) other than a Saturday or Sunday or a day on which banks are required or authorized to close in the City of San Francisco.

Section 1.03 Effective Time. As soon as practicable following the Closing, the Company and Purchaser shall cause a Certificate of Merger (the "Delaware Certificate of Merger") to be executed, acknowledged and filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware as provided in Section 251 of the DGCL. The Merger shall become effective at the time (i) when the Delaware Certificate of Merger has been duly filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware or (ii) at such later time as may be agreed by the Parties in writing and specified in the Delaware Certificate of Merger (in each case, the "Effective Time").

Section 1.04 Certificate of Incorporation.

Section 1.06 Directors. The Parties hereto shall take all actions necessary so that the directors of Merger Sub at the Effective Time shall, from and after the Effective Time, be the directors of the Surviving Corporation until their successors have been duly elected or appointed and qualified or until their earlier death, resignation or removal in accordance with the Charter and the Bylaws.

Section 1.07 Bank Merger. As soon as practicable after the execution and delivery of this Agreement, Bank and Union Bank, N.A., a wholly owned subsidiary of Purchaser and a national banking association, duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the National Bank Act, 12 U.S.C. § 1 et seq.

ARTICLE II

EFFECT OF THE MERGER ON CAPITAL STOCK;

EXCHANGE OF CERTIFICATES

Section 2.01 Effect on Capital Stock. At the Effective Time, as a result of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder of any capital stock of the Company:

(a) Merger Consideration. Each share of the Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the "Common Stock"), of the Company (a "Share" or, collectively, the "Shares") issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than (i) the Excluded Shares and (ii) Shares that are owned by stockholders ("Dissenting Stockholders") who have perfected and not effectively withdrawn a demand for appraisal rights pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL ("Dissenting Shares")) shall be converted into the right to receive $46.00 per Share (the "Per Share Merger Consideration"), without interest. At the Effective Time, all the Shares shall cease to be outstanding, shall be cancelled and shall cease to exist, and each certificate (a "Certificate") formerly representing any of the Shares (other than Excluded Shares and Dissenting Shares) shall thereafter represent only the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration, without interest.

(b) Cancellation of Excluded Shares. Each Excluded Share shall, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, cease to be outstanding, be cancelled without payment of any consideration therefor and shall cease to exist, subject only to any rights the holder thereof may have under Section 2.02(f).

(c) Dissenting Shares. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the holders of any Dissenting Share shall be entitled only to such rights and payments as are granted by Section 262 of the DGCL; provided, however, that if any such holder shall effectively waive, withdraw or lose such holder153s rights under Section 262 of the DGCL, each of such holder153s Dissenting Shares shall thereupon be deemed to have been converted at the Effective Time into the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration, without interest and after giving effect to any required Tax withholdings as provided in Section 2.02(g), and such holder thereof shall cease to have any other rights with respect thereto.

(d) Merger Sub. At the Effective Time, each share of Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share, of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into one share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Surviving Corporation.

Section 2.02 Exchange of Certificate.

(a) Paying Agent. At the Effective Time, Purchaser shall make available or cause to be made available to a paying agent selected by Purchaser with the Company153s prior approval (such approval not to be unreasonably conditioned, withheld or delayed) (the "Paying Agent"), for the benefit of the holders of Shares, a cash amount in immediately available funds necessary for the Paying Agent to make payments under Section 2.01(a) (such cash being hereinafter referred to as the "Exchange Fund").

- 3 -


(b) Exchange Procedures. Promptly after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall cause the Paying Agent to mail to each holder of record of Shares (other than holders of Excluded Shares) (i) a letter of transmittal in customary form specifying that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of the Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu of the Certificates as provided in Section 2.02(e)) to the Paying Agent, such letter of transmittal to be in such form and have such other provisions as Purchaser and the Company may reasonably agree, and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu of the Certificates as provided in Section 2.02(e)) in exchange for the Per Share Merger Consideration. Upon surrender of a Certificate (or affidavit of loss in lieu of the Certificate as provided in Section 2.02(e)) to the Paying Agent in accordance with the terms of such letter of transmittal, duly executed, the holder of such Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor a cash amount in immediately available funds (after giving effect to any required Tax withholdings as provided in Section 2.02(g)) equal to (x) the number of Shares represented by such Certificate (or affidavit of loss in lieu of the Certificate as provided in Section 2.02(e)) multiplied by (y) the Per Share Merger Consideration, and the Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled. No interest will be paid or accrued on any amount payable upon due surrender of the Certificates. In the event of a transfer of ownership of Shares that is not registered in the transfer records of the Company, a check for any cash to be exchanged upon due surrender of the Certificate may be issued to such transferee if the Certificate previously representing such Shares is presented to the Paying Agent, accompanied by all documents required to evidence and effect such transfer and to evidence that any applicable stock transfer taxes have been paid or are not applicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (1) in the case of the Treasury Department and (2) in the event that the Requisite Stockholder Approval in the form of the Written Consent is delivered to the Company in accordance with Section 6.09, any stockholder of the Company who shall have executed and delivered such Written Consent, Purchaser shall, or shall cause the Paying Agent to, from and after the Effective Time, deliver the foregoing payments required under this Section 2.02(b) to the Treasury Department and/or any such stockholder, as applicable, immediately upon surrender by the Treasury Department and/or any such stockholder, respectively, of its Certificates, without any requirement in respect of such letter of transmittal.

(c) No Transfers. From and after the Effective Time, there shall be no transfers on the stock transfer books of the Company of the Shares that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, any Certificate is presented to the Surviving Corporation, Purchaser or the Paying Agent for transfer, it shall be cancelled and exchanged for the cash amount in immediately available funds to which the holder of the Certificate is entitled pursuant to this Article II.

(d) Termination of Exchange Fund. Any portion of the Exchange Fund (including the proceeds of any investments thereof) that remains unclaimed by the stockholders of the Company for one hundred eighty (180) days after the Effective Time shall be delivered to the Surviving Corporation. Any holder of Shares (other than Excluded Shares) who has not theretofore complied with this Article II shall thereafter look only to the Surviving Corporation for payment of the Per Share Merger Consideration (after giving effect to any required Tax withholdings as provided in Section 2.02(g)) upon due surrender of its Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu of the Certificates), without any interest thereon. Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the Surviving Corporation, Purchaser, the Paying Agent or any other Person shall be liable to any former holder of Shares for any amount properly delivered to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Laws.

- 4 -


(e) Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. In the event any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by Purchaser, the posting by such Person of a bond in customary amount and upon such terms as may be required by Purchaser as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it or the Surviving Corporation with respect to such Certificate, the Paying Agent will issue a check in the amount (after giving effect to any required Tax withholdings) equal to the number of Shares represented by such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate multiplied by the Per Share Merger Consideration.

(f) Appraisal Rights. No Person who has perfected a demand for appraisal rights pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL shall be entitled to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration with respect to the Shares owned by such Person unless and until such Person shall have effectively withdrawn or lost such Person153s right to appraisal under the DGCL. Each Dissenting Stockholder shall be entitled to receive only the payment provided by Section 262 of the DGCL with respect to Shares owned by such Dissenting Stockholder. The Company shall give Purchaser (i) reasonably prompt notice of any written demands for appraisal, attempted withdrawals of such demands, and any other instruments served pursuant to applicable Law that are received by the Company relating to stockholders153 rights of appraisal and (ii) the opportunity to direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to demand for appraisal under Section 262 of the DGCL. The Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of Purchaser, voluntarily make any payment with respect to any demands for appraisal, offer to settle or settle any such demands or approve any withdrawal of any such demands.

(g) Withholding Rights. Each of Purchaser and the Surviving Corporation shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder of Shares such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the "Code") or any other applicable state, local or foreign Tax Laws. To the extent that amounts are so withheld by the Surviving Corporation or Purchaser, as the case may be, such withheld amounts (i) shall be remitted by Purchaser or the Surviving Corporation, as applicable, to the applicable Governmental Entity, and (ii) to the extent so remitted, shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of Shares in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made by the Surviving Corporation or Purchaser, as the case may be.

Section 2.03 Stock Options.

(a) At the Effective Time, each outstanding option to purchase shares of Common Stock under the Company Stock Plans (each, a "Company Option"), whether vested or unvested immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall, automatically and without any required action on the part of the holder thereof, be cancelled and converted into only the right to receive an amount in cash (subject, in each case, to any withholding as provided in Section 2.02(g) and to Purchaser153s receipt of an option surrender agreement in the form set forth on Section 2.05 of the Company Disclosure Schedule) equal to the product of (A) the positive difference, if any, of the Per Share Merger Consideration minus the exercise price per share of such Company Option

- 5 -


multiplied by (B) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of such Company Option as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, which amount shall be payable as soon as reasonably practicable following the Effective Time and in no event later than five (5) business days after the Effective Time. To the extent the exercise price of a Company Option is greater than or equal to the Per Share Merger Consideration, such Company Option shall be cancelled for no consideration. As used in this Agreement, the term "Company Stock Plans" means the plans set forth in Section 2.03(a) of the Company Disclosure Schedule.

Section 2.04 Company Restricted Shares. Each share of Common Stock subject to vesting, repurchase or other lapse restrictions pursuant to any of the Company Stock Plans (each, a "Company Restricted Share") that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall vest in full and become free of such restrictions and any repurchase right shall lapse, as of the Effective Time and, at the Effective Time, the holder thereof shall be entitled to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration (subject to any withholdings as provided in Section 2.02(g)) with respect to each such Company Restricted Share in accordance with Section 2.01(a).

Section 2.05 Other Stock-Based Awards. At the Effective Time, each right of any kind, contingent or accrued, to receive shares of Common Stock or benefits measured by the value of a number of shares of Common Stock, and each award of any kind consisting of shares of Common Stock, including a deferred share of Common Stock, granted under any of the Company Stock Plans that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than the Treasury Warrant, Company Options and the Company Restricted Shares) (each, a "Company Stock Award") shall vest in full and be cancelled and converted into only the right to receive an amount in cash (subject, in each case, to any withholding as provided in Section 2.02(g) and to Purchaser153s receipt of a stock-based award surrender agreement in the form set forth on Section 2.05 of the Company Disclosure Schedule) equal to the product of (A) the Per Share Merger Consideration multiplied by (B) the number of shares of Common Stock subject to such Company Stock Award as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, which amount shall be payable as soon as reasonably practicable following the Effective Time and in no event later than five (5) business days after the Effective Time; provided that, if a Company Stock Award constitutes "non-qualified deferred compensation" within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, the cash payment in respect of such Company Stock Award as determined hereunder shall be paid at such time or times as is provided under the applicable plan or award agreement governing such Company Stock Award.

Section 2.06 Treasury Warrants.

(a) At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, each outstanding Treasury Warrant (as defined in Section 3.02(b)), shall cease to represent a warrant to purchase Common Stock and shall be converted automatically into a right to exercise such Treasury Warrant in accordance with the terms of such Treasury Warrant to receive an amount in cash (subject to any withholding as provided in Section 2.02(g)) equal to (A) the Per Share Merger Consideration multiplied by (B) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of such Treasury Warrant immediately prior to the Effective Time (the "Treasury Warrant Consideration"), which amount shall be payable following the Effective Time in accordance with Section 2.06(b).

- 6 -


(b) The foregoing payment set forth in clause (a) may be made by Purchaser or any of its Affiliates, or at Purchaser153s election, the Paying Agent. From and after the Effective Time, Purchaser shall, or shall cause the Paying Agent to, deliver the Treasury Warrant Consideration to the U.S. Department of the Treasury ("Treasury Department") or any other holder of Treasury Warrants (solely with respect to shares of Common Stock covered by such Treasury Warrants) immediately upon surrender by such holder of its Treasury Warrants and payment of the then-applicable exercise price in respect thereof in accordance with the terms of such Treasury Warrants (it being agreed that to the extent practicable, the Treasury Warrant shall be net settled). In the event any Treasury Warrants shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, a holder of such Treasury Warrants shall have to make and deliver to Purchaser or the Surviving Corporation an affidavit of that fact by such holder and an agreement in form reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser indemnifying Purchaser and the Surviving Corporation against any claim that may be made against Purchaser or the Surviving Corporation with respect to such Treasury Warrants.

ARTICLE III

- 41 -


Closing to occur as soon as possible, including proffering to, or agreeing to, and effecting, by consent decree, hold separate order, or otherwise, the sale, divestiture, lease, license, transfer, disposition, encumbering or holding separate of any assets, licenses, operations, rights, product lines, businesses or interest therein of Purchaser, the Company or any of their respective Subsidiaries; provided, however, that nothing in this Agreement, including this Section 6.01, shall require, or be construed to require, Purchaser or any of its Affiliates to (x) proffer to, or agree to, sell, divest, lease, license, transfer, dispose of or otherwise encumber or hold separate and agree to sell, divest, lease, license, transfer, dispose of or otherwise encumber before or after the Effective Time, any assets, licenses, operations, rights, product lines, businesses or interest therein of Purchaser, the Company or any of their respective Affiliates (or to consent to any sale, divestiture, lease, license, transfer, disposition or other encumberment by the Company of any of its assets, licenses, operations, rights, product lines, businesses or interest therein or to any agreement by the Company to take any of the foregoing actions), (y) agree to any conditions or make any commitments that are not comparable to those imposed in connection with comparable transactions in the United States and that would not be reasonably foreseeable based upon publicly available information or discussions or communications prior to the date of this Agreement involving Purchaser or any of its Affiliates and representatives of any SRO or Government Entity, or (z) agree to any material changes (including, without limitation, through a licensing arrangement) or restriction on, or other impairment of Purchaser153s ability to own or operate, any of any such assets, licenses, operations, rights, product lines, businesses or interests therein or Purchaser153s or any of its Affiliates153 ability to vote, transfer, receive dividends or otherwise exercise full ownership rights with respect to the stock of the Surviving Corporation, in each case of clauses (x), (y) and (z), to the extent that any such actions would have a material adverse effect after the Effective Time on the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or on Purchaser and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or on Parent153s ultimate parent company, in each case measured on a scale relative to the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole (a "Burdensome Condition").

(d) Each of Purchaser and the Company shall promptly advise the other upon receiving (including through their respective Affiliates) any communication from any SRO or Governmental Entity the consent or approval of which is required for consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement that causes such Party to believe that there is a reasonable likelihood that any Requisite Regulatory Consent or the JFSA Approval will not be obtained without the imposition of a Burdensome Condition or that the receipt of any such approval may be delayed.

(e) Purchaser agrees to execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, by or on behalf of the Surviving Company, at or prior to the Effective Time, one or more supplemental indentures, guarantees, and other instruments required for the due assumption of Company153s outstanding debt, guarantees, securities, and other agreements listed on Section 6.01(e) of the Company Disclosure Schedule to the extent required by the terms of such debt, guarantees, securities, and other agreements.

(a) Upon reasonable notice and subject to applicable Laws, the Company shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, afford to the officers, directors, employees,

agents and the Representatives of Purchaser, reasonable access, during normal business hours during the period prior to the Effective Time, to all its properties, books, Contracts, commitments and records, and, during such period, the Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, make available to Purchaser (i) a copy of each report, schedule, registration statement and other document filed or received by it during such period pursuant to the requirements of federal securities Laws or federal or state banking or insurance Laws (other than reports or documents that the Company is not permitted to disclose under applicable Law) and (ii) all other information concerning its business, properties and personnel as Purchaser may reasonably request. Upon the reasonable request of the Company, Purchaser shall furnish such reasonable information about it and its Affiliates as is relevant to the Company and its shareholders in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Neither the Company, Purchaser nor any of their respective Affiliates shall be required to provide access to or to disclose information where such access or disclosure would jeopardize the attorney-client privilege of such party or contravene any Law, fiduciary duty or Order or binding Contract entered into prior to the date of this Agreement. The Parties shall make appropriate substitute disclosure arrangements under circumstances in which the restrictions of the preceding sentence apply.

(b) All nonpublic information and materials provided prior to the date of this Agreement shall be subject to the provisions of the confidentiality agreement entered into between the Parties as of January 19, 2012 (the "Confidentiality Agreement") and all nonpublic information and materials provided on or after the date of this Agreement shall be subject to the provisions of the non-disclosure agreement entered into between the Parties as of the date of this Agreement (the "Non-Disclosure Agreement").

(c) No investigation by a party hereto or its representatives shall affect or be deemed to modify or waive any representations, warranties or covenants of the other Party set forth in this Agreement.

Section 6.03 Employee Matters.

(a) Following the Closing Date, Purchaser shall maintain or cause to be maintained employee benefit plans and compensation opportunities for the benefit of Employees who are actively employed by the Company or its Subsidiaries on the Closing Date ("Covered Employees") that provide employee benefits and compensation opportunities that, in the aggregate, are no less favorable than the employee benefits (other than severance benefits, which, for the avoidance of doubt, are governed under Section 6.03(b)) and compensation opportunities that are generally made available to similarly situated employees of Purchaser or its Subsidiaries (other than the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries) (collectively, the "Purchaser Plans"), as applicable; provided that (i) with respect to retirement benefits, satisfaction of the foregoing standard shall not require that any Covered Employee be eligible to participate in any specific retirement plan of Purchaser or a closed or frozen Purchaser Plan; and (ii) until such time as Purchaser shall cause Covered Employees to participate in the Purchaser Plans, a Covered Employee153s continued participation in the employee benefit plans and compensation opportunities of the Company and its Subsidiaries as in effect immediately prior to the Closing Date shall be deemed to satisfy the foregoing provisions of this sentence (it being understood that participation in the Purchaser Plans may commence at different times with respect to each Purchaser Plan).

- 43 -


(b) Purchaser shall provide severance benefits in accordance with the terms and conditions of the special severance policy set forth on Section 6.03(b) of the Purchaser Disclosure Schedule ("Special Severance Policy") to Covered Employees who experience a qualifying termination of employment with Purchaser, the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective Subsidiaries during the period beginning on the Closing Date and ending on the 60th day following the first anniversary of the Closing Date (the "Special Severance Period"). Each Covered Employee whose employment is terminated after the Special Severance Period shall be eligible to participate in Purchaser153s regular separation and severance pay programs on the same terms and conditions as other similarly-situated employees of Purchaser.

(c) To the extent that a Covered Employee becomes eligible to participate in a Purchaser Plan, Purchaser shall cause such plan to (i) recognize the service of such Covered Employee with the Company or its Subsidiaries for purposes of eligibility, vesting and benefit accrual (other than for purposes of eligibility, vesting and benefit accruals under any Purchaser Plan that is a defined benefit pension plan or a retiree medical plan )under such Purchaser Plan, to the same extent such service was recognized immediately prior to the Effective Time under a comparable Benefit Plan in which such Covered Employee was eligible to participate immediately prior to the Effective Time; provided that such recognition of service (A) shall not operate to duplicate any benefits of a Covered Employee with respect to the same period of service and (B) shall not apply for purposes of any Purchaser Plan under which similarly-situated employees of Purchaser and its Subsidiaries do not receive credit for prior service; and (ii) with respect to any Purchaser Plan that provides health plan or other welfare benefits in which any Covered Employee is eligible to participate for the plan year in which such Covered Employee is first eligible to participate, (A) cause any pre-existing condition limitations or eligibility waiting periods under such Purchaser Plan to be waived with respect to such Covered Employee to the extent such limitation would have been waived or satisfied under the Benefit Plan in which such Covered Employee participated immediately prior to the Effective Time, and (B) recognize any eligible expenses incurred by such Covered Employee in the year that includes the Closing Date (or, if later, the year in which such Covered Employee is first eligible to participate) for purposes of any applicable deductible and annual out-of-pocket expense requirements under any such Purchaser Plan.

(d) If requested by Purchaser by no later than ten (10) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, effective as of immediately prior to, and contingent upon, the Closing, the Company shall adopt such resolutions and/or amendments to terminate the Company Retirement Savings Plan or any 401(k) plan of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (collectively, the "Company 401(k) Plan") and the Covered Employees shall be permitted to roll any eligible rollover distributions (including, to the extent applicable with respect to any Covered Employee, loans) into Purchaser153s 401(k) plan. If the Company153s 401(k) Plan is terminated as of immediately prior to the Closing Date, each Covered Employee who participated or was eligible to participate in the Company 401(k) Plan as of immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be eligible to participate in Purchaser153s 401(k) plan commencing on the Closing Date. If the Company 401(k) is not terminated as of immediately prior to the Closing Date, Purchaser shall maintain the Company 401(k) Plan for the benefit of the Covered Employees until such time as they are eligible to participate in Purchaser153s 401(k) Plan and Purchaser will make a

- 44 -


discretionary matching contribution at a rate for each Covered Employee participating in the Company 401(k) Plan equal to the Company153s 2011 discretionary matching contribution rate for the 2012 plan year.

(e) Nothing in this Section 6.03 shall be construed to limit the right of Purchaser or any of its Affiliates (including, following the Closing Date, the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries) to amend or terminate any Benefit Plan or other employee benefit plan, to the extent such amendment or termination is permitted by the terms of the applicable plan, nor shall anything in this Section 6.03 be construed to require Purchaser or any of its Affiliates (including, following the Closing Date, the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries) to maintain any Purchaser Plan or retain the employment of any particular Covered Employee for any fixed period of time following the Closing Date. This Agreement shall inure exclusively to the benefit of, and be binding upon the Parties hereto and their respective successors, assigns, executors and legal representatives.

Section 6.04 Indemnification; Directors153 and Officers153 Insurance.

(a) From and after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall, and Purchaser shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law (and shall also advance expenses as incurred to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law and the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Company provided the person to whom expenses are advanced provides an undertaking to repay such advances if it is ultimately determined that such person is not entitled to indemnification by the Surviving Corporation), each present and former director and officer of the Company or its Subsidiaries (in each case, when acting in such capacity), determined as of the Effective Time (collectively, the "Indemnified Parties") against any costs or expenses (including reasonable attorneys153 fees), judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages or liabilities incurred in connection with any claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, arising out of matters existing or occurring at or prior to the Effective Time, including the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided that the Indemnified Party to whom expenses are advanced provides an undertaking to repay such advances if it is ultimately determined that such Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification by the Surviving Corporation.

- 45 -


amount in excess of the amount set forth in the Company Disclosure Schedule. If the Company and the Surviving Corporation for any reason fail to obtain such "tail" insurance policies as of the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall, and Purchaser shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, continue to maintain in effect for a period of at least six (6) years from and after the Effective Time the D&O Insurance in place as of the date of this Agreement with benefits and levels of coverage at least as favorable to the Indemnified Parties as provided in the Company153s existing policies as of the date of this Agreement, or the Surviving Corporation shall, and Purchaser shall cause the Surviving Corporation to purchase comparable D&O Insurance for such six-year period with benefits and levels of coverage at least as favorable to the Indemnified Parties as provided in the Company153s existing policies as of the date of this Agreement; provided, however, that in no event shall Purchaser or the Surviving Corporation be required to expend for such policies an annual premium amount in excess of 250% of the annual premiums currently paid by the Company for such insurance; and, provided, further, that if the annual premiums of such insurance coverage exceed such amount, the Surviving Corporation shall, and Purchaser shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, obtain a policy with the greatest coverage available for a cost not exceeding such amount.

(c) Any Indemnified Party wishing to claim indemnification under Section 6.04(a), upon learning of any claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation described above, will promptly notify Purchaser; provided that failure to so notify will not affect the obligations of Purchaser under Section 6.04(a) unless and to the extent that Purchaser is actually and materially prejudiced as a consequence.

(d) The rights of each Indemnified Party under this Section 6.04 shall be in addition to any rights such individual may have under the certificate of incorporation and bylaws (or other governing documents) of the Company and any of its Subsidiaries, under the DGCL or any other applicable Laws or under any agreement of any Indemnified Party with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. If Purchaser, the Surviving Corporation or any of their successors or assigns consolidates with or merges into any other entity and is not the continuing or surviving entity of such consolidation or merger or transfers all or substantially all of its assets to any other entity, then and in each case, Purchaser will cause proper provision to be made so that the successors and assigns of Purchaser or the Surviving Corporation, as applicable, will assume the obligations of Purchase or the Surviving Corporation, respectively, set forth in this Section 6.04.

(e) The provisions of this Section 6.04 are intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each Indemnified Party as if he or she was a party to this Agreement.

(f) The Company agrees that it will promptly (and, in any event, within 24 hours) notify Purchaser if any inquiries, proposals or offers with respect to an Acquisition Proposal are received by, any such information is requested from, or any such discussions or negotiation are sought to be initiated or continued with, it or any of its Representatives indicating, in connection with such notice, the name of such Person and the material terms and conditions of any proposals or offers (including, if applicable, copies of any written requests,

(a) The Company shall prepare and file with the SEC and mail to the holders of the Shares, as promptly as practicable after the date of this Agreement, (i) in the event that the Requisite Stockholder Approval in the form of Written Consent is delivered to the Company in accordance with Section 6.09, an information statement of the type contemplated by Rule 14c-2 promulgated under the Exchange Act related to the Merger and this Agreement (such information statement, including any amendment or supplement thereto, the "Information Statement") or (ii) in the event that the Requisite Stockholder Approval in the form of Written Consent is not delivered to the Company in accordance with Section 6.09, a proxy statement in preliminary form relating to the Merger and this Agreement (such proxy statement, including any amendment or supplement thereto, the "Proxy Statement"). The Company agrees, as to it and its Subsidiaries, that the Proxy Statement or Information Statement, as the case may be, will comply in all material respects with the applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder. Each Party agrees, as to it and its Affiliates, that none of the information supplied by it or any of its Affiliates for inclusion or incorporation by reference in the Proxy Statement or Information Statement, as the case may be, will, at the date of mailing to stockholders of the Company and at the time of the Stockholders Meeting, if and as applicable, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

(b) The Company shall afford Purchaser a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on the Proxy Statement or Information Statement, as the case may be, prior to its filing with the SEC, including any amendments or supplements thereto, and shall give due consideration to all the reasonable additions, deletions or changes suggested thereto by Purchaser. The Company will promptly advise Purchaser if at any time prior to the Effective Time the Company shall obtain Knowledge of any facts that might make it necessary to amend or supplement the Proxy Statement or Information Statement, as the case may be, in order to make the statements contained therein not misleading or to comply with applicable Law. The Company shall promptly notify Purchaser of the receipt of all comments from the SEC with respect to the Proxy Statement or Information Statement, as the case may be, and of any request by the SEC for any amendment or supplement thereto or for additional information and shall promptly provide to Purchaser copies of all correspondence between the Company and/or any of its Representatives and the SEC with respect to the Proxy Statement or Information Statement, as the case may be, and shall provide Purchaser an opportunity to review and comment on any such amendment, supplement or response to the SEC and shall give due consideration to all the

- 50 -


reasonable additions, deletions or changes suggested thereto by Purchaser. Each of Purchaser and the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts promptly to provide responses to the SEC with respect to all comments received on the Proxy Statement or Information Statement, as the case may be, from the SEC.

For the avoidance of doubt, the signing, dating and delivery to the Company of the Written Consent in accordance with Section 228 of the DGCL shall constitute the obtaining of the Requisite Stockholder Approval for all purposes under this Agreement.

Section 6.11 Notification of Certain Matters. The Company and Purchaser will give prompt notice to the other of any fact, event or circumstance known to it that (a) is reasonably likely, individually or taken together with all other facts, events and circumstances known to it, to result in any Material Adverse Effect or Purchaser Material Adverse Effect, respectively, or (b) would cause or constitute a material breach of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained herein that reasonably could be expected to give rise, individually or in the aggregate, to the failure of a condition in Article VII; provided, however, that failure to give such notice shall not separately constitute a failure of any condition in Article VII or a basis to terminate this Agreement unless the underlying fact, event or circumstance would independently result in such failure or provide such basis.

Section 6.12 Stock Exchange Delisting. Prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall cooperate with Purchaser and use reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and do or cause to be done all things, reasonably necessary, proper or advisable on its part under applicable Laws and rules and policies of NASDAQ to enable the delisting by the Surviving Corporation of the Shares from NASDAQ and the deregistration of the Shares under the Exchange Act as promptly as practicable after the Effective Time, and in any event no more than ten (10) days after the Closing Date.

Section 9.05 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two (2) or more counterparts (including by facsimile or other electronic means), all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each of the Parties and delivered to the other Party, it being understood that each Party need not sign the same counterpart.

Section 9.06 Entire Agreement. This Agreement (including any exhibits hereto, the documents and the instruments referred to in this Agreement) constitutes the entire agreement and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the Parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement, other than the Confidentiality Agreement and the Non-Disclosure Agreement.

Section 9.07 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the application thereof to any person or circumstance is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remaining provisions, or the application of such provision to persons or circumstances other than those as to which it has been held invalid or unenforceable, will remain in full force and effect and will in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated thereby, so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any Party. Upon such determination, the parties will negotiate in good faith in an effort to agree upon a suitable and equitable substitute provision to effect the original intent of the parties.

Section 9.08 Governing Law; Jurisdiction. This Agreement shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York applicable to contracts made and entirely to be performed within such state, without regard to any applicable conflicts of law principles that would require the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction; provided that the DGCL, including the provisions thereof governing the fiduciary duties of directors of a Delaware corporation, shall govern as applicable. The Parties hereto agree that any suit, action or proceeding brought by either Party to enforce any provision of, or based on any matter arising out of or in connection with, this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, whether in tort or contract or at law or in equity, exclusively, in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. Each of the Parties hereto irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of such court in any suit, action or proceeding seeking to enforce any provision of, or based on any matter arising out of, or in connection with, this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby and hereby irrevocably waives the benefit of jurisdiction derived from present or future domicile or otherwise in such action or proceeding. Each Party hereto irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such suit, action or proceeding in such court or that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum or that such Party is not subject to personal jurisdiction in such court.
