(c) Each share of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (excluding shares which are to remain outstanding, or which will be canceled, in accordance with Section 2.01(b) and, except as provided in Section 2.01(d), the Appraisal Shares (as defined herein) shall be converted into the right to receive $5.25 in cash, without interest (the “Merger Consideration”), and at the Effective Time, all such shares of Common Stock shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and shall cease to exist, and each holder thereof shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to r eceive the Merger Consideration and any declared dividends with a record date prior to the Effective Time that remain unpaid at the Effective Time and that are due to such holder.

(d) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, shares (the “Appraisal Shares”) of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time that are held by any holder who is entitled to demand and properly demands appraisal of such shares pursuant to, and who complies in all respects with, the Appraisal Provisions shall not be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration as provided in Section 2.01(c), but instead such holder shall be entitled to payment of the fair value of such shares in accordance with the Appraisal Provisions. At the Effective Time, the Appraisal Shares shall no l onger be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and shall cease to exist, and each holder of Appraisal Shares shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the fair value of such shares in accordance with the Appraisal Provisions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any such holder shall fail to perfect or otherwise shall waive, withdraw or lose the right to appraisal under the Appraisal Provisions or a court of competent jurisdiction shall determine that such holder is not entitled to the relief provided by the Appraisal Provisions, then the right of such holder to be paid the fair value of such holder’s Appraisal Shares under the Appraisal Provisions shall cease and such Appraisal Shares shall be deemed to have been converted at the Effective Time into, and shall have become, the right to receive the Merger Consideration as provided in Section 2.01(c). The Company shall give prompt notice to Parent and Sun Global of any demands for appraisal of any shares of Common Stock, withdrawals of such demands and any other instruments served pursuant to the MBCA received by the Company, and Parent and Sun Global shall have the right to participate in and direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demands. The Company shall not, without the prior written consent of Parent and Sun Global (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), voluntarily make any payment with respect to, or settle or offer to settle, any such demands, or agree to do or commit to do any of the foregoing.

SECTION 2.02. Exchange Fund. (a) Paying Agent. Prior to the Closing Date, Parent and/or Sun Global shall appoint a bank or trust company reasonably acceptable to the Company to act as paying agent (the “Paying Agent”) for the payment of the Merger Consideration in accordance with the terms of this Article II and, in connection therewith, shall

enter into an agreement with the Paying Agent in a form reasonably acceptable to the Company. Parent and/or Sun Global shall deposit with the Paying Agent prior to the Effective Time cash in an amount sufficient to pay the aggregate Merger Consideration (such cash being hereinafter referred to as the “Exchange Fund”).

(b) Exchange Procedures. As promptly as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time, Parent and Sun Global shall cause the Paying Agent to mail to each Person who was, as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, a holder of record of shares of Common Stock entitled to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.01(c) (i) a letter of transmittal (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the certificates that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented any such shares of Common Stock (each, a “Certificate 221;), if any, shall pass, only upon proper delivery of the Certificates or transfer of any such uncertificated shares of Common Stock (collectively, the “Uncertificated Shares”) to the Paying Agent and which shall otherwise be in customary form reasonably satisfactory to the Company and Parent) and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates and the transfer of Uncertificated Shares in exchange for the Merger Consideration. Each holder of record of shares of Common Stock shall, (x) upon surrender to the Paying Agent of any such Certificate, together with such letter of transmittal, duly executed, and such other documents as may reasonably be required by the Paying Agent, or (y) upon receipt of an “agent’s message” by the Paying Agent (or such other evidence, if any, of transfer as the Paying Agent may reasonably request) in the case of a book-entry transfer of Uncerti ficated Shares, be entitled to receive in exchange therefor the amount of cash which the number of shares of Common Stock previously represented by such Certificate or the Uncertificated Shares, as applicable, shall have been converted into the right to receive pursuant to Section 2.01(c), without any interest thereon and less any required withholding of taxes, and any Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be canceled. In the event of a transfer of ownership of Common Stock which is not registered in the transfer records of the Company, payment of the Merger Consideration may be made to a Person other than the Person in whose name the Certificate so surrendered or the Uncertificated Shares so transferred is registered if any such Certificate shall be properly endorsed or otherwise be in proper form for transfer and the Person requesting such payment shall pay any fiduciary or surety bonds or any transfer or other similar taxes required by reason of the payment of the Merger Consideration to a Person other than the registered holder of such Certificate or Uncertificated Shares or establish to the reasonable satisfaction of Parent that such tax has been paid or is not applicable. Until surrendered or transferred as contemplated by this Section 2.02(b), each Certificate and each Uncertificated Share shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive upon such surrender the Merger Consideration which the holder thereof has the right to receive in respect of such Certificate or Uncertificated Shares pursuant to this Article II and any declared dividends with a record date prior to the Effective Time that remain unpaid at the Effective Time and that are due to such holder. No interest shall be paid or will accrue on any cash payable to holders of Certificates or Uncertificated Shares pursuant to the provisions of this Article II.

(c) No Further Ownership Rights in Company Common Stock. All cash paid upon the surrender of Certificates or the transfer of Uncertificated Shares in accordance with the terms of this Article II shall be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to the shares of Common Stock formerly represented by such Certificates or

Uncertificated Shares, as applicable. At the close of business on the day on which the Effective Time occurs, the stock transfer books of the Company with respect to the Common Stock shall be closed, and there shall be no further registration of transfers on the stock transfer books of the Surviving Corporation of the shares of Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, any Certificate or Uncertificated Shares are presented to the Surviving Corporation for transfer, they shall be canceled against delivery of cash to the holder thereof as provided in this Article II.

(d) Termination of the Exchange Fund. Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains undistributed to the holders of shares of Common Stock for twelve months after the Effective Time shall be delivered to Parent and/or Sun Global, upon demand and as directed by Parent and Sun Global, and any holders of shares of Common Stock who have not theretofore complied with this Article II shall thereafter look only to Parent for, and Parent shall remain liable for, payment of their claims for the Merger Consideration (without interest) to which such holders are entitled pursuant to the provisions of this Article II.

(e) No Liability. None of Parent, Sun Global, Merger Sub, the Company, the Surviving Corporation and the Paying Agent shall be liable to any Person in respect of any cash from the Exchange Fund delivered to a public official in compliance with any applicable state, federal or other abandoned property, escheat or similar Law. If any Certificate or Uncertificated Shares shall not have been surrendered prior to the date on which the related Merger Consideration would escheat to or become the property of any Governmental Entity, any such Merger Consideration shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, immediately prior to such time become the property of Parent and/or Sun Global, free and clear of all claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.

(f) Investment of Exchange Fund. The Paying Agent shall invest the cash in the Exchange Fund as directed by Parent and Sun Global. Any interest and other income resulting from such investments shall be paid solely to Parent and/or Sun Global (as they shall direct). Nothing contained herein and no investment losses resulting from investment of the Exchange Fund shall diminish the rights of any holder of Common Stock to receive the Merger Consideration as provided herein.

(g) Lost Certificates. If 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 Parent, the posting by such Person of a bond or surety in such reasonable amount as Parent may direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against them with respect to such Certificate. The Paying Agent shall deliver in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate the applicable Merger Consideration with respect thereto.

(h) Impact of Stock Splits, Etc. In the event of any change in the number of shares of Common Stock, or securities convertible or exchangeable into or exercisable for such shares (including options to purchase such shares), issued and outstanding between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time by reason of any stock split (including a reverse split), stock dividend or distribution, subdivision, reclassification, recapitalization, combination, merger, issuer tender or exchange offer, or other similar transaction with a record date during

such period, the Merger Consideration to be paid for each such share as provided in this Agreement shall be equitably adjusted to reflect such change and, as so adjusted, shall from and after the date of such event be the Merger Consideration.

SECTION 2.03. Treatment of Equity-Based Awards; Withholding.

(a) The Company shall take all actions necessary to (i) terminate the Company Incentive Plans effective as of the Effective Time, (ii) provide that each outstanding Stock Option shall be fully vested and exercisable as of immediately prior to the Effective Time and (iii) cancel each outstanding Stock Option. Each holder of a Stock Option shall be entitled to receive, as soon as practicable following the Effective Time through the payroll system or pursuant to the payroll procedures of Surviving Corporation (or as otherwise reasonably determined by the Surviving Corporation), in exchange for the cancellation of each Stock Option, an amount in cash equal to the excess, if any, of the Merger Consideration over the per share exercise price of such Stock Option, multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock subject to such Stock Option as of the Effective Time.

(b) As of the Effective Time, all shares of Common Stock that, immediately prior to the Effective Time, are subject to vesting restrictions (“Restricted Stock”) shall be forfeited without payment of consideration.

(c) Parent, Sun Global, the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any amounts ultimately payable to holders of Stock Options under the Company Incentive Plans as a result of the transactions contemplated by Section 2.03(a) such amounts as Parent, Sun Global, the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent are required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or any provision of state, local or foreign tax Law.

(d) To the extent that amounts are withheld and paid over to the appropriate Governmental Entity by Parent, Sun Global, the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent pursuant to Section 2.02(b) or Section 2.03(c), such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement and otherwise as having been paid to the holder of the share(s) of Common Stock or Stock Option(s), as applicable, in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made by Parent, Sun Global, the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent.

severally, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, indemnify, defend and hold harmless each present and former director and officer of the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries (acting in their capacity as such) (each, an “Indemnified Person”), against any costs or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), judgments, settlements, fines, losses, claims, damages, liabilities or amounts paid in settlement incurred in connection with any actual or threatened claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, arising out of, relating to or in connection with any matters existing or occurring at or prior to the Effective Time, whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the Effective Time (a “Proceeding”) (and Parent and the Company or the Surviving Corporation, as applicable, shall also advance expenses as incurred to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law, provided that the Indemnified Person to whom expenses are advanced provides an undertaking to repay such advances if it is ultimately determined that such Indemnified Person is not entitled to indemnification); provided that if, at any time prior to the sixth anniversary of the Effective Time, any Indemnified Person delivers to Parent and the Surviving Corporation a written notice asserting a claim for indemnification or advancement of expenses under this Section 5.04(a) in connection with a Proceeding, then the obligations of Parent, the Company and the Surviving Corporation set forth in th is Section 5.04(a) shall survive the sixth anniversary of the Effective Time until such time as such Proceeding is fully and finally resolved. None of Parent, the Company and the Surviving Corporation shall settle, compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any Proceeding (and in which indemnification or advancement of expenses could be sought by an Indemnified Person hereunder), unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of the applicable Indemnified Person(s) from all liability arising out of such Proceeding or such Indemnified Person(s) otherwise consents thereto in writing.

(b) Parent and the Company agree that all rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses and exculpation now existing in favor of each Indemnified Person as provided in the Company Charter and Company Bylaws, in the certificate or articles of incorporation, bylaws or similar documents of any Company Subsidiaries, or in the Indemnification Agreements to which the Company is a party (copies of each of which have been provided to Parent or its counsel prior to the date hereof) (the “Indemnification Agreements”), in each case in effect as of the date hereof, shall, with respect to matters occurring prior to the Effective Time, survive the Merger and c ontinue in full force and effect after the Effective Time. Parent and the Company agree that each of Parent and the Surviving Corporation will, from and after the Effective Time, be jointly and severally liable for the obligations of the Company under the Indemnification Agreements. Until the sixth anniversary of the Effective Time, the articles of incorporation and bylaws of the Surviving Corporation and the certificate or articles of incorporation, bylaws or similar documents of its subsidiaries shall, with respect to matters occurring at or prior to the Effective Time, contain provisions no less favorable with respect to indemnification, advancement of expenses and exculpation of the Indemnified Persons than are set forth in the Company Charter and Company Bylaws or in the certificate or articles of incorporation, bylaws or similar documents of the Company’s subsidiaries in effect as of the date of execution of this Agreement, and such provisions shall not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified prior to the sixth anniversary of the Effective Time in any manner that would materially adversely affect the rights thereunder, as of the Effective Time, of any Indemnified Person, with respect to matters occurring at or prior to the Effective Time; provided, however, that all rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses and

exculpation in respect of any Proceeding pending or asserted or any claim made within such six-year period shall continue until the final disposition of such Proceeding or resolution of such claim. To the maximum extent permitted by Law, all such indemnification of Indemnified Persons with respect to matters occurring before the Effective Time shall be mandatory rather than permissive, and the Company or the Surviving Corporation and their subsidiaries, as the case may be, shall also advance expenses as provided hereinabove and in the Indemnification Agreements. Parent and the Company further agree that all rights to indemnification or advancement of expenses now existing in favor of Indemnified Persons in any indemnification agreement between such Indemnified Person and the Company or any Company Subsid iary, as the case may be, or under Law shall survive the Merger and continue in full force and effect in accordance with the terms of such agreement or Law, and shall be the joint and several obligation of the Surviving Corporation from and after the Effective Time.

(c) Parent shall or the Surviving Corporation shall (and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to) obtain and maintain directors and officers liability insurance policies for the Indemnified Persons with respect to matters occurring prior to the Effective Time that shall be (i) effective for a period of six years from the Effective Time, (ii) on terms with respect to coverage and amount no less favorable than those of the Company’s applicable directors and officers liability insurance policies in effect on the date hereof (the “Current Coverage”) and (iii) underwritten by companies principally based in the United States of America that ha ve ratings no less than the companies underwriting the Current Coverage; provided, however, that in no event shall Parent or the Surviving Corporation be obligated to expend in order to obtain or maintain insurance coverage pursuant to this Section 5.04(c) any amount per annum in excess of 250% of the aggregate premiums currently paid or payable by the Company in 2011 (on an annualized basis) for the Current Coverage (the “cap”); and provided further, that if equivalent coverage cannot be obtained, or can be obtained only by paying an annual premium in excess of the cap, Parent or the Surviving Corporation shall only be required to obtain as much coverage as can be obtained by paying an annual premium equal to the cap. Parent or the Surviving Corporation ma y satisfy their obligations under this Section 5.04(c) by purchasing a “tail” policy of such directors and officers liability insurance.

(d) In the event the Surviving Corporation (or any of its subsidiaries) or any of its successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers or conveys all or any substantial portion of its properties and assets to any person, then, and in each such case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of the Surviving Corporation (or its subsidiary, as applicable) (or their respective successors or assigns) assume the obligations of the Surviving Corporation (or its subsidiary, as applicable) (or their respective successors or assigns) under this Section& #160;5.04. The Surviving Corporation and Parent shall pay all reasonable expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, that may be incurred by any Indemnified Person in enforcing the indemnity and other obligations provided in this Section 5.04 and in the Indemnification Agreements. For the period from the date of this Agreement through the Effective Time, the Company shall not, and Parent shall not permit the Company to, amend the provisions in the Company Charter and Company Bylaws providing for exculpation of director and officer liability and indemnification of and expense advancement for Indemnified Persons. The provisions of this Section 5.04 shall survive the consummation of the Merger and expressly are intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each of

the Indemnified Persons. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, it is agreed that the rights of an Indemnified Person under this Section 5.04 shall be in addition to, and not a limitation of any other rights such Indemnified Person may have under the Company Charter, the Company Bylaws, the Indemnification Agreements, any other indemnification arrangements, the MBCA or otherwise and nothing in this Section 5.04 shall have the effect of, or be construed as having the effect of, reducing the benefits to the Indemnified Persons under the Company Charter, the Company Bylaws, the Indemnification Agreements or any other indemnification arrangements, the MBCA or otherwise with respect to matters occurring prior to the Effective Time.

SECTION 5.05. Access and Information. The Company shall afford to Parent, Sun Global and their representatives such access during normal business hours throughout the period prior to the Effective Time to the Company’s and each of the Company Subsidiary’s books, records (including tax returns and work papers of the Company’s independent auditors), facilities, personnel and such other information as Parent and Sun Global shall reasonably request.

SECTION 5.06. Notification of Certain Matters. Each of the parties hereto shall promptly notify the other parties of:

(a) to such party’s knowledge, any notice or other communication from any Person alleging that the consent of such Person is or may be required in connection with or relating to the Transactions;

(c) any actions, suits, claims, investigations or proceedings commenced against such party or its Subsidiaries or affiliates that relate to consummation of the Transactions;

provided that the delivery of any notice pursuant to this Section 5.06 shall not limit or otherwise affect the remedies available hereunder to the party or parties entitled to receive such notice.

SECTION 5.07. Publicity. None of the Company, Parent, Sun Global or Merger Sub shall issue or cause the publication of any press release or other public announcement with respect to this Agreement, the Merger or the other Transactions without prior consultation with the other parties, except as may be required by Law or any listing agreement with or rules of any national securities exchange or by the request of any Governmental Entity. The parties hereto have agreed upon the form of a joint press release announcing the Merger and the execution of this Agreement.

SECTION 5.08. Certain Efforts; Litigation Support.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each of the parties hereto agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable to consummate and make effective as promptly as practicable the transactions contemplated by the Merger and this Agreement, and to cooperate with each other in connection with the foregoing, including using

its commercially reasonable efforts to (i) obtain all necessary waivers, consents and approvals from other parties to material agreements, leases and other contracts, (ii) obtain all necessary consents, approvals and authorizations as are required to be obtained under any federal, state or foreign Law or regulation, (iii) lift or rescind any injunction or restraining order or other order adversely affecting the ability of the parties to consummate the Transactions, (iv) effect any necessary registrations and filings and submissions of information requested by Governmental Entities, and (v) fulfill all conditions to this Agreement.

The Company, Parent and Sun Global shall cooperate and use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the delisting of the shares of Common Stock from the NYSE AMEX and the deregistration of such shares as promptly as practicable following the Effective Time in compliance with applicable Law.

SECTION 5.10. Takeover Statutes. If any Takeover Statute is or may become applicable to the Merger or the other Transactions, the Company and the Company Board shall grant such approvals and take such actions as are within its power so as to eliminate or minimize the effects of such statue or regulation on such Transactions and shall use reasonable best efforts to challenge the validity or applicability of such Takeover Statute.

SECTION 5.11. Directors. Following the date of this Agreement and until the Effective Time, the Company Board shall at all times include the directors that currently comprise the Independent Committee, and none of Parent, Sun Global, Merger Sub or the Company shall take any action to cause any change in the composition of the Independent Committee.
