The Board of Directors of each of Parent, Merger Sub and the Company have approved (i) the merger (the “Merger”) of Merger Sub into the Company on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, (ii) the Transactions and (iii) the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the consummation of the Merger and the Transactions.

Parent has received voting and support agreements substantially in the form attached as Exhibit A hereto (collectively, the “Company Voting Agreements”) signed by the Company and the Company’s officers and directors.

Parent, Merger Sub and the Company desire to make certain representations, warranties, covenants and agreements in connection with the Merger and also to prescribe various conditions to the Merger.

Accordingly, intending to be legally bound, the parties hereby agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

The Merger

Section 1.01    The Merger. On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, and in accordance with the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”), Merger Sub shall be merged with and into the Company at the Effective Time. At the Effective Time, the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub shall cease and the Company shall continue as the surviving corporation and as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (the “Surviving Corporation”) under the laws of the State of Delaware. The Merger, the issuance by Parent of Parent Common Stock in connection with the Merger (the “Share Issuance”) and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements are referred to herein as the “Transactions”.

Section 1.02    Closing. Unless this Agreement is earlier and validly terminated pursuant to Section 8.01 hereof, the closing of the Merger (the “Closing”) shall take place no later than the second Business Day following the date on which each of the conditions set forth in Article VII are satisfied or, to the extent permitted by Law, waived by the party entitled to waive such condition (except for any conditions that by their nature can only be satisfied on the Closing Date, but subject to the satisfaction of such conditions or waiver by the party entitled to waive such conditions), pursuant to an electronic exchange of documents and closing deliverables required by this Agreement, unless another time or place is mutually agreed upon in writing between Parent and the Company. The date on which the Closing occurs is referred to herein as the “Closing Date”.

Section 1.03    Effective Time. Before the Closing, the parties shall prepare, and on the Closing Date, the parties shall file a certificate of merger or other appropriate documents in a form reasonably agreed between the parties (in any such case, the “Certificate of Merger”) with the Delaware Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, executed in accordance with the relevant provisions of the DGCL, and the parties shall make all other filings or recordings required under the DGCL. The Merger shall become effective upon the due filing of the Certificate of Merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware or at such subsequent time or date at the time specified in the Certificate of Merger (the “Effective Time”).

Section 1.04    Effects. At the Effective Time, Merger Sub shall be merged with and into the Company, the separate existence of Merger Sub shall cease, and the Company shall continue as the Surviving Corporation in the Merger. The Merger shall have the effects set forth in Section 259 of the DGCL and in this Agreement.

Section 1.05    Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws. At the Effective Time, the certificate of incorporation of the Company as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be amended and restated in its entirety to read as set forth on Exhibit B, and as so amended and restated shall be the certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter further amended in accordance with the DGCL. In addition, at the Effective Time, the bylaws of the Company as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be amended and restated in their entirety to conform to the bylaws of Merger Sub, except that all references to the name of Merger Sub therein shall be changed to refer to the name of the Company, and, as so amended and restated, such bylaws shall be the bylaws of the Surviving Corporation, until further amended in accordance with the DGCL.

Section 1.06    Directors. The directors of Merger Sub immediately before the Effective Time shall be the directors of the Surviving Corporation immediately after and following the Effective Time, until the earlier of their resignation or removal or until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified, as the case may be.

Section 1.07    Officers. The officers of Merger Sub immediately before the Effective Time shall be the officers of the Surviving Corporation immediately after and following the Effective Time, until the earlier of their resignation or removal or until their respective successors are duly elected or appointed and qualified, as the case may be.

ARTICLE II

    Effect on the Shares of the
Constituent Corporations; Exchange of Shares

Section 2.01    Effect on Shares. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder of Company Common Stock or any shares of capital stock of Merger Sub or any other Person:

(a)    Shares of Merger Sub. Each issued and outstanding share of capital stock of Merger Sub shall be converted into and become one validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Surviving Corporation.

2

(b)    Cancelation of Treasury Shares and Parent-Owned Shares. Each share of Company Common Stock that is owned by the Company, Parent or Merger Sub and reserved for issuance and allocation shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist, and no Parent Common Stock or other consideration shall be delivered or deliverable in exchange therefor.

(c)    Conversion of Company Common Stock. Subject to Sections 2.01(b) and 2.02(e), each issued and outstanding share of Company Common Stock held by shareholders of the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than shares to be cancelled in accordance with Section 2.01(b) or Section 2.03) shall be cancelled and extinguished and will be automatically converted into the right to receive a number of validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares of Parent Common Stock equal to the Exchange Ratio.

(d)    The shares of Parent Common Stock to be issued upon the conversion of Company Common Stock pursuant to this Section 2.01(d) is referred to as the “Merger Consideration”. As of the Effective Time, all such Company Common Stock shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist, and each holder of a Book Entry Share representing any such Company Common Stock shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive Merger Consideration upon surrender of such Book Entry Share in accordance with Section 2.02 and any distributions or dividends payable pursuant to Section 2.02(c).

(e)    Stock Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if, from the date of this Agreement until the Effective Time, (x) the outstanding shares of Parent Common Stock shall have been changed into a different number of shares or a different class by reason of any reclassification, recapitalization, split-up, combination, exchange of shares or readjustment, stock split, reverse stock split or a stock dividend thereon shall be declared with a record date within said period or (y) the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock shall have been changed into a different number of shares or a different class by reason of any reclassification, recapitalization, split-up, combination, exchange of shares or readjustment, stock split, reverse stock split or a share dividend thereon shall be declared with a record date within said period, then in each case, the Exchange Ratio shall be appropriately and equitably adjusted.

Section 2.02    Exchange of Shares.

(a)    Exchange Agent. At the Closing, Parent shall deposit with VStock Transfer, LLC or a bank or trust company designated by Parent and reasonably acceptable to the Company (the “Exchange Agent”), for the benefit of the holders of Company Common Stock, for exchange in accordance with this Article II, through the Exchange Agent, non-certificated shares of Parent Common Stock represented by book entry issuable pursuant to Section 2.01 in exchange for outstanding Company Common Stock. Parent shall, after the Effective Time on the appropriate payment date, if applicable, provide, or cause to be provided, to the Exchange Agent any dividends or other distributions payable on such shares of Parent Common Stock pursuant to Section 2.02(c) hereof (such shares of Parent Common Stock provided to the Exchange Agent, together with any dividends or other distributions with respect thereto, being hereinafter referred to as the “Exchange Fund”). The Exchange Agent shall, pursuant to irrevocable instructions, deliver the Parent Common Stock contemplated to be issued pursuant to Section 2.01 out of the Exchange Fund. The Exchange Fund shall not be used for any other purpose.

3

(b)    Exchange Procedures. The Surviving Corporation shall instruct the Exchange Agent to provide, as soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time, to each holder of record of a non-certificated shares of Company Common Stock represented by book entry (“Book Entry Shares”) that immediately before the Effective Time represented outstanding shares of Company Common Stock whose shares were converted into the right to receive Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.02(c), an “agent’s message” in customary form (it being understood that the holders of Book Entry Shares will be deemed to have surrendered such Book Entry Shares upon receipt of an “agent’s message” or such other evidence, if any, as the Exchange Agent may reasonably request). Upon receipt of such “agent’s message”, the holder of such Book Entry Shares shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor the number of whole shares of Parent Common Stock, if any, which the aggregate number of Company Common Stock previously represented by such Book Entry Shares shall have been converted pursuant to Section 2.01(c) into the right to receive, and the Book Entry Shares so surrendered shall forthwith be canceled. In the event of a transfer of ownership of Company Common Stock that is not registered in the transfer records of the Company, payment may be made and shares may be issued to a Person other than the Person in whose name the Book Entry Shares so surrendered is registered if such Book Entry Shares shall be in proper form for transfer and the Person requesting such payment shall pay any transfer or other taxes required by reason of the payment to a Person other than the registered holder of such Book Entry Shares or establish to the satisfaction of Parent that such tax has been paid or is not applicable. Subject to the last sentence of Section 2.02(c), until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 2.02(b), each Book Entry Share shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive upon such surrender the Merger Consideration into which the Company Common Stock theretofore represented by such Book Entry Share have been converted pursuant to Section 2.01.

(c)    Distributions with Respect to Unexchanged Shares. No dividends or other distributions with respect to Parent Common Stock with a record date after the Effective Time shall be paid to the holder of any Book Entry Share formerly representing Company Common Stock with respect to the shares of Parent Common Stock issuable upon surrender thereof until the surrender of such Book Entry Share in accordance with this Article II. Subject to applicable Law, following surrender of any such Book Entry Share, there shall be paid to the holder of the Book Entry Share representing whole shares of Parent Common Stock issued in exchange therefor, without interest, (i) at the time of such surrender, the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time theretofore paid with respect to such whole shares of Parent Common Stock and (ii) at the appropriate payment date, the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time but before such surrender and a payment date subsequent to such surrender payable with respect to such whole shares of Parent Common Stock.

(d)    No Further Ownership Rights in Company Common Stock. The Merger Consideration issued (and paid) in accordance with the terms of this Article II upon conversion of any Company Common Stock shall be deemed to have been issued (and paid) in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such Company Common Stock (other than the right to receive dividends or other distributions, if any, in accordance with Section 2.02(c)). After the Effective Time there shall be no further registration of transfers on the stock transfer books of the Surviving Corporation of Company Common Stock that were outstanding immediately before the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, any Book Entry Shares formerly representing Company Common Stock are presented to the Surviving Corporation or the Exchange Agent for any reason, they shall be canceled and exchanged as provided in this Article II.

4

(e)    No Fractional Shares. No shareholder of Company Common Stock shall be entitled to fractional shares of Parent Common Stock in connection with the Merger Consideration received pursuant to Section 2.01. For purposes of this Section 2.02(e), the number of shares of Parent Common Stock to which a single record shareholder of Company Common Stock would be entitled pursuant to Section 2.01(c) shall be aggregated and rounded up to the nearest whole share.

(f)    Termination of Exchange Fund. Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains unclaimed by the holders of Company Common Stock for six (6) months from and after the Closing Date shall be delivered to Parent, upon written demand, and any holder of Company Common Stock who has not theretofore complied with this Article II shall thereafter look only to Parent for payment of its claim for Merger Consideration and any dividends or distributions with respect to Parent Common Stock as contemplated by Section 2.02(c).

(g)    No Liability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, none of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company, the Surviving Corporation, the Exchange Agent shall be liable to any Person in respect of any shares of Parent Common Stock (or dividends or distributions with respect thereto) from the Exchange Fund delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law. If any Book Entry Share has not been surrendered before five years after the Effective Time (or immediately before such earlier date on which Merger Consideration or any dividends or distributions with respect to Parent Common Stock as contemplated by Section 2.02(c) in respect of such Book Entry Share would otherwise escheat to or become the property of any Governmental Authority), any such shares, dividends or distributions in respect of such Book Entry Share shall, to the extent permitted by Law, become the property of the Surviving Corporation, free and clear of all claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.

(h)    Withholding Rights. Parent, the Company, Merger Sub and the Surviving Corporation (and their respective agents and Affiliates) shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable to any Person pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as may be required to be deducted and withheld with respect to the making of such payment under the Code, or under any provision of state, local or foreign tax Law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld and paid over to the appropriate taxing authority, the applicable payor will be treated as though it (i) withheld an appropriate amount of the type of consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to such Person, sold such consideration for an amount of cash equal to the fair market value of such consideration at the time of such deemed sale and paid such cash proceeds to the appropriate taxing authority and (ii) paid such amount of the type of consideration otherwise payable to such Person for all purposes of this Agreement.

(i)    DTC Cooperation. In the event cooperation with the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) is required to implement the purpose and effect of Section 2.02, the parties shall cooperate in good faith with DTC, and Parent shall cause each of the Exchange Agent and the Surviving Corporation to cooperate in good faith with DTC.

Section 2.03    Company Equity Awards; ESPP.

(a)    As soon as practicable following the date of this Agreement, but in all events prior to the Effective Time, the Company Board (or, if appropriate, any duly-authorized committee thereof administering any Plans) shall adopt such resolutions and take all such other actions as may be required to effect the following:

(i)    At the Effective Time, by virtue of and conditioned on the Closing, each Company Option with an exercise price per share that is equal to or less than $0.40, to the extent then outstanding and unexercised, shall, automatically and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, be converted into an option to acquire a number of shares of Parent Common Stock at an adjusted exercise price per share, in each case, as determined under this Section 2.03(a)(i) (each such converted option, a “Rollover Option”). Each Rollover Option shall be subject to the same terms and conditions as were applicable to such corresponding Company Option as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, except to the extent such terms or conditions are rendered inoperative by the Transactions. Accordingly, effective as of the Effective Time: (A) each such Rollover Option shall be exercisable solely for shares of Parent Common Stock; (B) the number of shares of Parent Common Stock subject to each Rollover Option shall be determined by multiplying (1) the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to the corresponding Company Option as of immediately prior to the Effective Time by (2) the Exchange Ratio, and then rounding the resulting number down to the nearest whole number of shares of Parent Common Stock; and (C) the per share exercise price for the Parent Common Stock issuable upon exercise of such Rollover Option shall be determined by dividing (1) the per share exercise price of the Company Option as in effect as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, by (2) the Exchange Ratio, and then rounding the resulting exercise price up to the nearest whole cent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the conversions described in this Section 2.03(a)(i) will be subject to such modifications, if any, as are required to cause the conversions to be made in a manner consistent with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and, in the case of any Company Option to which Section 422 of the Code applies, the exercise price and the number of shares of Parent Common Stock purchasable pursuant to such Company Option shall be determined subject to such adjustments as are necessary in order to satisfy the requirements of Section 424(a) of the Code.

(ii)    At the Effective Time, by virtue of and conditioned on the Closing, each Company Option with an exercise price per share that is greater than $0.40, to the extent then outstanding and unexercised, shall, automatically and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, be cancelled and extinguished for no consideration and be of no further force or effect.

(b)    At or prior to the Effective Time, the Company, the Company Board and the compensation committee of the Company Board, as applicable, shall adopt any resolutions and take all steps necessary to cause such Company Plan(s) to terminate at or prior to the Effective Time.

(c)    Prior to the Effective Time, all Company PSUs and Company RSUs shall be fully settled, including any payment or satisfaction of all tax liabilities associated with such settlement, by the Company and the Company Board and the compensation committee of the Company Board, as applicable, shall adopt any resolutions and take all steps necessary to cause the settlement of the Company PSUs and Company RSUs prior to the Effective Time.

(d)    Parent shall take all corporation action necessary to reserve for issuance a sufficient number of shares of Parent Common Stock for delivery upon exercise of the Company Options assumed in accordance with this Section 2.03. As soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time, Parent shall file a registration statement on Form S-8 (or any successor or other appropriate form) with respect to the shares of Parent Common Stock subject to such Company Options and shall use its reasonable best efforts to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement or registration statements (and maintain the current status of the prospectus or prospectuses contained therein) for so long as such Company Options remain outstanding. With respect to those individuals who subsequent to the Merger will be subject to the reporting requirements under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act, where applicable, Parent shall administer the Company Plans assumed pursuant to this Section 2.03 in a manner that complies with Rule 16b-3 of the SEC to the extent the applicable Company Plan complied with such rule before the Merger.

Nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit the Company Board from (A) taking and disclosing to the Company’s shareholders a position contemplated by Rule 14e-2(a) promulgated under the Exchange Act or complying with Rule 14d‑9 promulgated under the Exchange Act, including a customary “stop, look and listen” communication by the Company Board to the Company’s shareholders pursuant to Rule 14d-9(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act (or any substantially similar communication); (B) complying with Item 1012(a) of Regulation M-A promulgated under the Exchange Act; (C) complying with the Company’s disclosure obligations under U.S. federal or state Law or other applicable Law with regard to a Company Takeover Proposal; or (D) making any disclosure to the Company shareholders if the Company Board has determined in good faith after consultation with the Company’s outside legal counsel that the failure to do so would be reasonably likely to cause a breach of its fiduciary duties under applicable Law; provided that in each case of the foregoing clauses (A) through (D) (other than a “stop, look and listen” communication of the type contemplated by Rule 14d-9(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act) such disclosure does not modify or qualify the Company Recommendation in a manner adverse to Parent or Merger Sub.

(h)    The Company agrees that in the event any Representative of the Company takes any action which, if taken by the Company, would constitute a breach of this Section 5.02, the Company shall be deemed to be in breach of this Section 5.02.

(i)    Certain Definitions. For purposes of this Agreement:

“Company Takeover Proposal” means, other than with respect to the Transactions, any offer or proposal by any Person (other than a proposal or offer by Parent or any of its Affiliates) concerning any (i) merger, consolidation, other business combination or similar transaction involving the Company, pursuant to which such Person (or the stockholders of such Person) would own 15% or more of the assets, revenues or net income of the Company, taken as a whole, (ii) sale, lease, license or other disposition directly or indirectly by merger, consolidation, business combination, share exchange, joint venture or otherwise, of assets of the Company (including Equity Interests of the Company) representing 15% or more of the assets, revenues or net income of the Company, taken as a whole, (iii) issuance or sale or other disposition (including by way of merger, consolidation, business combination, share exchange, joint venture or similar transaction) of Equity Interests representing 15% or more of the voting power of the Company, (iv) transaction or series of transactions, including any tender offer or exchange offer, in which any Person (or the stockholders of such Person) would acquire beneficial ownership or the right to acquire beneficial ownership of Equity Interests representing 15% or more of the voting power of the Company or (v) any combination of the foregoing.

“Superior Company Proposal” means a bona fide written Company Takeover Proposal (except that references in the definition of “Company Takeover Proposal” to “15% or more” shall be replaced by “50% or more”), on its most recently amended or modified terms, if amended or modified, for which the Company Board determines in good faith (after consultation with outside legal counsel and its financial advisor) to be (i) more favorable to the holders of shares of Company Common Stock than the Transactions (taking into account all financial, legal, regulatory and other aspects thereof, and taking into account all the terms and conditions of such proposal and this Agreement (including any changes to the terms of this Agreement proposed by Parent in response to such proposal to the extent in a form that could be accepted)) and (ii) reasonably expected to be completed, taking into account all financial, legal, regulatory and other aspects of such proposal.

64

Section 6.05    Indemnification.

(a)    Parent and Merger Sub agree that all rights to exculpation or indemnification arising from, relating to, or otherwise in respect of, acts or omissions occurring before the Effective Time in favor of the current or former directors or officers of the Company (each, an “Indemnified Party”) as provided in their respective certificates of incorporation, by-laws, other organizational documents, all agreements for indemnification, exculpation of liability or advancement of expenses, in each case as in effect on the date hereof shall survive the Merger and shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with their terms and shall not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified in any manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of such Indemnified Parties for a period of not less than six (6) years after the Effective Time. If any claims for indemnification or exculpation are asserted or made within such period, all rights to indemnification or exculpation in respect of such claims shall continue until the final disposition of such claims. The Company shall obtain, at its sole cost and expense (such aggregate expense the “D&O Insurance Expense”), and Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall cause to be maintained, for a period of not less than six (6) years after the Effective Time, an irrevocable “tail” insurance policy of the Company’s current directors’ and officers’ insurance (the “D&O Insurance”) for all Persons who are directors and/or officers of the Company on the date of this Agreement and are covered by the D&O Insurance immediately prior to the Effective Time, on terms with respect to the coverage and amounts not materially less favorable to such insured persons than those of the D&O Insurance in effect on the date of this Agreement (such policy, the “D&O Tail Insurance”). If the D&O Tail Insurance is terminated or canceled during such six (6)-year period, Parent shall use reasonable efforts to cause to be obtained D&O Insurance for the remainder of such period on terms and conditions no less advantageous than the existing D&O Insurance; provided, however, that the aggregate premiums paid by the Parent to obtain such D&O Insurance shall not exceed the D&O Insurance Expense prorated for the applicable period (the “Parent D&O Obligation Amount”), and if the aggregate premiums of such coverage exceeds the Parent D&O Obligation Amount, Parent shall obtain a policy with the greatest coverage available for a cost not exceeding the Parent D&O Obligation Amount.

(b)    From and after the Effective Time, to the fullest extent permitted by Law and the Company Organizational Documents (as in effect on the date hereof), Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Indemnified Parties against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and reasonable out of pocket expenses (including reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees and disbursements), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement (in the case of settlements, with the approval of the indemnifying party (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed)) (collectively, “Losses”), as incurred (subject to the execution by such Indemnified Parties of appropriate undertakings in favor of the indemnifying party to repay such advanced costs and expenses if it is ultimately determined in a final and non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction that such Indemnified Party is not entitled to be indemnified under this Section 6.05(b)), to the extent arising from, relating to, or otherwise in respect of, any actual or threatened Action or investigation, in respect of actions or omissions occurring at or before the Effective Time in connection with such Indemnified Party’s duties as an officer or director of the Company, including in respect of this Agreement, any Ancillary Agreement, the Merger and the other Transactions; provided, however, that an Indemnified Party shall not be entitled to indemnification under this Section 6.05(b) to the extent prohibited by Law.

65

(c)    The provisions of this Section 6.05 are intended to be in addition to the rights otherwise available to the current officers and directors of the Company by law, charter, statute, bylaw or agreement, and shall operate for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each of the Indemnified Parties, their heirs and their representatives. The obligations set forth in this Section 6.05 shall not be terminated, amended or otherwise modified in any manner that adversely affects any Indemnified Party, or any person who is a beneficiary under the policies referred to in this Section 6.05 and their heirs and representatives, without the prior written consent of such affected Indemnified Party or other person.

(d)    If Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective 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 substantially all its properties and assets, then, and in each case, Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall ensure that such surviving corporation or entity or the transferees of such properties or assets assume the obligations set forth in this Section 6.05.

Section 6.06    Fees and Expenses.

(a)    Except as provided below, all fees and expenses incurred in connection with the Merger and the other Transactions shall be paid by the party incurring such fees or expenses, whether or not the Merger is consummated, except for expenses incurred in connection with filing, printing and mailing the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus and the Form S-4 shall be shared equally by Parent and the Company.

(b)    The Company shall pay to Parent a nonrefundable fee of $600,000 if: (i) this Agreement is terminated by Parent pursuant to Section 8.01(c)(ii) or Section 8.01(c)(iii) (in each case, without the Company Stockholder Approval having been previously obtained); or (ii) (A) this Agreement is terminated by the Company pursuant to Section 8.01(b)(i), (B) after the date of this Agreement and prior to such valid termination, a Company Takeover Proposal shall have been publicly announced or otherwise been communicated to the Company Board or the Company’s shareholders and not abandoned, and (C) within twelve (12) months following the date of such valid termination, the Company shall have entered into a definitive agreement with respect to or recommended to its stockholders a Company Takeover Proposal or a Company Takeover Proposal shall have been consummated (provided that for purposes of this clause (C), each reference to “15%” in the definition of Company Takeover Proposal shall be deemed to be a reference to “50%”). Any fee due under this Section 6.06(b) shall be paid by wire transfer to the account designated by Parent in writing of same-day funds within two (2) Business Days of the date of termination of this Agreement (except that in the case of termination pursuant to clause (ii) above such payment shall be made on the earlier of the date of execution of the definitive agreement, recommendation to the Company’s stockholders or consummation of such transaction). In no event shall the Company be required to pay the fee set forth in this Section 6.06(b) on more than one occasion.

66

(c)    In the event that this Agreement is terminated by the Company or Parent pursuant to Section 8.01(b)(iii), then the Company shall reimburse Parent and Merger Sub for all their documented out-of-pocket expenses, including all fees and expenses of counsel, financial advisers, accountants, consultants and other advisers, actually incurred in connection with this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements, the Merger and the other Transactions (the “Company Reimbursement Payment”); provided that the maximum amount of such Company Reimbursement Payment shall in no event exceed $400,000; provided, further that no Company Reimbursement Payment shall be due if the Company is obligated to make any payment under or has previously made any payment due under Section 6.06(b).

Upon payment by the Company or Parent of such fee and expenses, neither the Company, Parent nor any of their respective Related Persons shall have any further liability or obligation (under this Agreement or otherwise) relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement or any of the Transactions, and in no event shall Parent and the Company (and Parent and the Company shall ensure that their respective Related Persons do not) seek to recover any money damages or losses, or seek to pursue any other recovery, judgment, damages or remedy (including any equitable remedy under Section 9.10 (Enforcement) or otherwise) of any kind, in connection with this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement or any of the Transactions (except, in the case of a Willful Breach, to the extent provided in Section 8.02). The parties agree that the agreements contained in this Section 6.06(e) are an integral part hereof and that the fees payable pursuant to this Section 6.06 constitute liquidated damages and not a penalty.

73

(c)    by Parent:

(i)    if the Company breaches or fails to perform in any material respect any of its representations, warranties or covenants contained in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, which breach or failure to perform (A) would give rise to the failure of a condition set forth in Section 7.02(a), Section 7.02(b) or Section 7.02(c) and (B) cannot be or has not been cured within thirty (30) days after the giving of written notice to the Company of such breach (provided that Parent will not be permitted to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.01(c)(i) at any time during which the conditions set forth in Section 7.03(a) or Section 7.03(b) would not be satisfied);

The parties hereby agree that the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement shall survive any termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.01 in accordance with its terms.

Any agreement on the part of a party to any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed on behalf of such party or parties, as applicable. The failure of any party to this Agreement to assert any of its rights under this Agreement or otherwise shall not constitute a waiver of such rights. For any matter under this Agreement requiring the consent or approval of any party, such consent or approval shall be valid and binding on a party hereto only if such consent or approval is delivered in an instrument in writing signed on behalf of such party.

Section 8.05    Procedure for Termination, Amendment, Extension or Waiver.
