AGREEMENT

The parties to this Agreement, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:

Section 1. THE OFFER

1.1 Conduct of the Offer.

(a) Parent shall cause Acquisition Sub to, and Acquisition Sub shall, commence (within the meaning of Rule 14d-2 under the Exchange Act) the Offer as soon as reasonably practicable after the date of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Acquisition Sub shall not be required to commence the Offer if the Company shall not be prepared to file with the SEC immediately following commencement of the Offer, and to disseminate to holders of shares of Company Common Stock, the Schedule 14D-9 (as defined in Section 1.2(d)). The date on which Acquisition Sub commences the Offer, within the meaning of Rule 14d-2 under the Exchange Act, is referred to in this Agreement as the "Offer Commencement Date." In the Offer, each share of Company Common Stock accepted by Acquisition Sub in accordance with the terms of the Offer shall, subject to the adjustments set forth in Section 1.1(c), (d) and (i), be exchanged for the right to receive from Acquisition Sub, at the election of the holder of such share of Company Common Stock pursuant to Section 1.1(b): (i) the Per Share Cash Election Consideration or (ii) the Per Share Stock Election Consideration, in each case without interest. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Offer and this Agreement, Acquisition Sub shall, and Parent shall cause Acquisition Sub to, (x) accept for exchange all shares of Company Common Stock validly tendered (and not withdrawn) pursuant to the Offer as soon as practicable after Acquisition Sub is permitted to do so under applicable Legal Requirements (and in any event in compliance with Rule 14e-1(c) of the Exchange Act) and (y) deliver the Per Share Cash Election Consideration or Per Share Stock Election Consideration, as applicable, in exchange for each share of Company Common Stock accepted for exchange pursuant to the Offer.

(b) Subject to Sections 1.1(c), (d) and (i), each holder of shares of Company Common Stock shall be entitled to elect (i) the number of shares of Company Common Stock as to which such holder desires to make a Cash Election and (ii) the number of shares of Company Common Stock as to which such holder desires to make a Parent Stock Election. Each share of Company Common Stock with respect to which an election to receive cash (a "Cash Election") has been validly made and not revoked or lost shall be exchanged for $14.00 in cash, without interest (the "Per Share Cash Election Consideration"), subject to adjustment in accordance with Section 1.1(c). Each share of Company Common Stock with respect to which an election to receive Parent Common Stock (a "Parent Stock Election") has been validly made and not revoked or lost shall be exchanged for .2489 shares of validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of Parent Common Stock (the "Per Share Stock Election Consideration"), subject to adjustment in accordance with Section 1.1(c). Any shares of Company Common Stock which are validly tendered in the Offer and not withdrawn, and which are not the subject of a valid Election (a "No Election Share"), shall be treated in accordance with Section 1.1(d). Any Cash Election or Parent Stock Election shall be referred to herein as an "Election." All Elections shall be made on a form furnished by Acquisition Sub for that purpose, which form may be part of the letter of transmittal accompanying the Offer. In order to be deemed an effective Election,

any such Forms of Election must be delivered to Acquisition Sub, together with any shares of Company Common Stock validly tendered, on or prior to the Expiration Date. Holders of record of shares of Company Common Stock who hold such shares of Company Common Stock as nominees, trustees or in other representative capacities may submit multiple Forms of Election on behalf of their respective beneficial holders.

(c) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary:

(i) the maximum aggregate amount of cash payable pursuant to the Offer shall be (A) $7.70, without interest in cash (the "Cash Component") multiplied by (B) the total number of shares of Company Common Stock that are validly tendered and accepted for purchase pursuant to the Offer (the "Maximum Cash Consideration");

(ii) the maximum aggregate amount of Parent Common Stock issuable pursuant to the Offer shall be (A) .112 (the "Applicable Fraction") multiplied by (B) the total number of shares of Company Common Stock that are validly tendered and accepted for exchange pursuant to the Offer (the "Maximum Stock Consideration");

(iii) if the total number of Cash Elections would require aggregate cash payments in excess of the Maximum Cash Consideration, such Elections shall be subject to proration as follows: for each Cash Election, the number of shares of Company Common Stock that shall be converted into the right to receive the Per Share Cash Election Consideration shall be (A) the total number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Cash Election multiplied by (B) the Cash Proration Factor, rounded down to the nearest share of Company Common Stock. The "Cash Proration Factor" means a fraction (1) the numerator of which shall be the Maximum Cash Consideration and (2) the denominator of which shall be the product of the aggregate number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to all Cash Elections made by all holders of shares of Company Common Stock, multiplied by the Per Share Cash Election Consideration. The shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Cash Election that were not converted into the right to receive the Per Share Cash Election Consideration in accordance with this Section 1.1(c)(iii) shall be converted into the right to receive the Per Share Stock Election Consideration. All prorations resulting from this Section 1.1(c)(iii) shall be applied on a pro rata basis, such that each holder who tenders shares of Company Common Stock subject to a Cash Election bears its proportionate share of the proration, based on the percentage of all shares of Company Common Stock subject to Cash Elections tendered by all holders that is reflected by the total shares of Company Common Stock subject to a Cash Election tendered by such holder.

(iv) if the total number of Parent Stock Elections would require the issuance in the aggregate of a number of shares of Parent Common Stock in excess of the Maximum Stock Consideration, such Elections shall be subject to proration as follows. For each Parent Stock Election, the number of shares of Company Common Stock that shall be converted into the right to receive the Per Share Stock Election Consideration shall be (A) the total number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Parent Stock Election multiplied by (B) the Parent Stock Proration Factor, rounded down to the nearest share of Company Common Stock. The "Parent Stock Proration Factor" means a fraction (1) the numerator of which shall be the Maximum Stock Consideration and (2) the denominator of which shall be the product of the

aggregate number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to all Parent Stock Elections made by all holders of shares of Company Common Stock, multiplied by the Per Share Stock Election Consideration. The shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Parent Stock Election that were not converted into the right to receive the Per Share Stock Election Consideration in accordance with this Section 1.1(c) shall be converted into the right to receive the Per Share Cash Election Consideration. All prorations resulting from this Section 1.1(c) shall be applied on a pro rata basis, such that each holder who tenders subject to a Parent Stock Election bears its proportionate share of the proration, based on the percentage of all shares of Company Common Stock subject to Parent Stock Elections tendered by all holders that is reflected by the total shares of Company Common Stock subject to a Parent Stock Election tendered by such holder.

(d) Each share of Company Common Stock tendered but which is not the subject of a valid Election (a "No Election Share") shall be deemed to be tendered subject to the following Elections:

(i) If the Cash Elections exceed the Maximum Cash Consideration such that proration of Cash Elections occur pursuant to Section 1.1(c)(iii), each No Election Share will be deemed tendered subject to a Parent Stock Election;

(ii) If the Parent Stock Elections exceed the Maximum Stock Consideration such that proration of Parent Stock Elections occurs pursuant to Section 1.1(c)(iv), each No Election Share will be deemed tendered subject to a Cash Election; and

(iii) If no proration occurs, each No Election Share will be deemed tendered in part subject to a Cash Election and in part subject to a Parent Stock Election. In such case, (A) 55% of the shares of Company Common Stock validly tendered in the Offer, reduced by the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to valid Cash Elections (as adjusted pursuant to Sections 1.1(c)(iii) and 1.1(c)(iv)), shall be deemed to be subject to Cash Elections, and (B) 45% of the shares of Company Common Stock validly tendered in the Offer, reduced by the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to valid Stock Elections (as adjusted pursuant to Sections 1.1(c)(iii) and 1.1(c)(iv)), shall be deemed to be subject to Stock Elections (it being understood that the sum of (A) and (B) shall equal the number of No Election Shares), and the related available cash consideration and Parent Common Stock consideration remaining after taking into account the affirmative Elections of holders will be allocated on a pro rata basis among holders who tendered No Election Shares such that the same percentage of a holder's No Election Shares is treated as subject to a Cash Election as is so treated for each other holder of No Election Shares and the same percentage of a holder's No Election Shares is treated as subject to a Stock Election as is so treated for each other holder of No Election Shares.

(e) The obligation of Acquisition Sub to accept for exchange (and the obligation of Parent to cause Acquisition Sub to accept for exchange) shares of Company Common Stock validly tendered (and not withdrawn) pursuant to the Offer shall be subject to (i) the condition (the "Minimum Condition") that there shall be validly tendered (and not withdrawn) a number of shares of Company Common Stock that, together with any shares of Company Common Stock owned by Parent or Acquisition Sub immediately prior to the

acceptance for exchange of shares of Company Common Stock pursuant to the Offer, represents more than 50% of the Adjusted Outstanding Share Number (as defined below) and (ii) the other conditions set forth in Exhibit B. The Minimum Condition and the other conditions set forth in Exhibit B are referred to collectively as the "Offer Conditions." For purposes of this Agreement, the "Adjusted Outstanding Share Number" shall be the sum of (1) the aggregate number of shares of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Acceptance Time, plus (2) an additional number of shares up to (but not exceeding) the aggregate number of shares of Company Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of all Company Options, Company Warrants and other rights to acquire Company Common Stock that are outstanding immediately prior to the Acceptance Time.

(f) Acquisition Sub expressly reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to (i) increase the Per Share Cash Election Consideration, the Per Share Stock Election Consideration or the Per Share Consideration, as applicable, and (ii) waive or make any other changes to the terms and conditions of the Offer; provided, however, that without the prior written consent of the Company: (A) except as set forth in Section 1.1(h)(ii), the Minimum Condition may not be amended or waived; and (B) no change may be made to the Offer that (1) changes the form of consideration to be delivered by Acquisition Sub pursuant to the Offer, (2) decreases any component of the Per Share Cash Election Consideration, the Per Share Stock Election Consideration or the Per Share Consideration, (3) except as set forth in Section 1.1(h)(ii), decreases the aggregate number of shares of Company Common Stock to be purchased by Acquisition Sub in the Offer, (4) imposes conditions to the Offer in addition to the Offer Conditions or modifies the existing Offer Conditions in a manner adverse to the shareholders of the Company, or (5) except as provided in Section 1.1(g), extends the expiration time of the Offer beyond the initial expiration time of the Offer.

(g) The Offer shall initially be scheduled to expire twenty (20) business days following the Offer Commencement Date (calculated as set forth in Rule 14d-1(g)(3) and Rule 14e-1(a) under the Exchange Act) (the "Initial Expiration Date"). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, but subject to the parties' respective termination rights under Section 8.1, (i) if, at the time as of which the Offer is scheduled to expire, any Offer Condition is not satisfied and has not been waived, then Acquisition Sub shall extend the Offer on one or more occasions, for additional successive periods of up to twenty (20) business days per extension (with the length of such periods to be determined by Parent), until all Offer Conditions are satisfied or validly waived in order to permit the Acceptance Time to occur; provided, however, that in no event shall Acquisition Sub be required or permitted, except to the extent consented to by the Company, to extend the Offer to a date later than June 22, 2011 (the "Outside Date"); provided, that if, at the Initial Expiration Date or at any subsequent date as of which the Offer is scheduled to expire (together with the Initial Expiration Date, the "Expiration Date") (other than any such Expiration Date that follows an extension of the Offer pursuant to Section 1.1(h)(i)), all of the Offer Conditions (except for the Minimum Condition) are satisfied or have been waived, Acquisition Sub shall only be required to extend the Offer and its Expiration Date beyond the Initial Expiration Date or such subsequent Expiration Date for one or more successive periods in order to permit the satisfaction of all of the Offer Conditions for an aggregate of sixty (60) days and (ii) Acquisition Sub shall extend the Offer from time to time for any period required by any rule, regulation, interpretation or position of the SEC or the staff of the SEC applicable to the Offer. In addition, if on any Expiration Date

any Offer Condition (other than the Minimum Condition) is not satisfied, but such Offer Condition is reasonably capable of being satisfied at or prior to the Outside Date, then, at the written request of the Company, Parent and Acquisition Sub shall extend the Offer from time to time for a period or periods not to exceed 10 business days each; provided, that Parent and Acquisition Sub shall not be required to so extend the Offer beyond the Outside Date. For the avoidance of doubt, if, at any Expiration Date, all of the Offer Conditions have been satisfied or waived in writing by Parent and this Agreement has not otherwise been terminated in accordance with its terms, subject to Section 1.1(h)(i), Acquisition Sub shall promptly accept for exchange, and deliver the Per Share Cash Election Consideration or Per Share Stock Election Consideration, as applicable, for, all shares of Company Common Stock validly tendered and not validly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer in accordance with this Agreement.

(h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 1.1(g), if, at any Expiration Date, all of the Offer Conditions (including the Minimum Condition) shall have been satisfied or have been waived, but the number of shares of Company Common Stock validly tendered in the Offer and not properly withdrawn is less than that number of shares of Company Common Stock which, when added to the number of shares of Company Common Stock that may be issued pursuant to the Top-Up Option in compliance with Section 1.4, would represent at least one (1) share of Company Common Stock more than ninety percent (90%) of the Adjusted Outstanding Share Number (the "Short-Form Merger Threshold"), then in such case Acquisition Sub may at any time, or from time to time, in its sole and absolute discretion, without the consent of the Company:

(i) extend the Offer for one (1) or more successive periods as determined by Acquisition Sub of up to twenty (20) business days per extension (with the length of such periods to be determined by Parent) until the Outside Date in order to permit additional shares of Company Capital Stock to be tendered into the Offer such that the Short-Form Merger Threshold may be attained; provided, however, that notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in the event Acquisition Sub elects to extend the Offer pursuant to, and in accordance with, this Section 1.1(h)(i), then each of Parent and Acquisition Sub shall be deemed to have irrevocably waived all of the Offer Conditions (other than the Offer Condition contemplated by clause (c) of Exhibit B, which shall remain in full force and effect) and its right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Sections 8.1(c), 8.1(f), or 8.1(h) (it being acknowledged and agreed that (A) notwithstanding such irrevocable waiver, without the prior written consent of the Company, neither Parent nor Acquisition Sub shall be permitted to accept for payment (or pay for) any shares of Company Common Stock that are tendered in the Offer unless the Minimum Condition is satisfied at such time; (B) during any extension of the Offer pursuant to this Section 1.1(h)(i), the Company shall not exercise any remedies against Parent or Acquisition Sub for failure to accept for payment (or pay for) any shares of Company Common Stock that are tendered in the Offer; and (C) if at the Outside Date, the Minimum Condition is satisfied, Acquisition Sub shall promptly accept for exchange, and deliver the Per Share Cash Election Consideration or Per Share Stock Election Consideration, as applicable, for, all shares of Company Common Stock validly tendered and not validly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer in accordance with this Agreement);

(ii) (A) amend the Offer and the Offer Documents (but only to the extent required by applicable Legal Requirements) to reduce the Minimum Condition to such

number of shares of Company Common Stock (the "Reduced Purchase Amount") such that following the purchase of shares of Company Common Stock in the Offer, Parent and its wholly owned subsidiaries, including Acquisition Sub, would own forty-nine and nine-tenths percent (49.9%) of the shares of Company Common Stock then outstanding and (B) purchase, on a pro rata basis based of the shares of Company Common Stock actually deposited in the Offer as of such Expiration Date by each holder of shares of Company Common Stock, shares of Company Common Stock representing the Reduced Purchase Amount in the Offer; provided, however, that notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in the event Acquisition Sub purchases a number of shares of Company Common Stock equal to the Reduced Purchase Amount pursuant to and in accordance with this Section 1.1(h)(ii), then, without the prior written consent of Parent and Acquisition Sub, at all times prior to the termination of this Agreement, the Company shall take no action whatsoever (including the redemption of any shares of Company Common Stock) that would have the effect of increasing the percentage of direct or indirect ownership of shares of Company Common Stock by Parent and its controlled affiliates, including Acquisition Sub, in excess of forty-nine and nine-tenths percent (49.9%); or

(iii) purchase all shares of Company Common Stock that have been tendered and not withdrawn as of such Expiration Date and, subject to compliance with CGCL, either (A) elect to prepare and file a permit application under Section 25142 of the CGCL and a related information statement or other disclosure document (together, a "Permit Application") and request a hearing on the fairness of the terms and conditions of the Merger pursuant to Section 25142 of the CGCL (a "Fairness Hearing") in order to consummate the Merger and pay for each share of Company Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time the consideration specified in Section 2.5(a)(iii) of this Agreement, (B) elect to consummate the Merger and pay for each share of Company Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time the consideration specified in Section 2.5(a)(iv) of this Agreement or (C) elect to consummate the Merger and pay for each share of Company Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time the consideration specified in Section 2.5(a)(iii) of this Agreement by obtaining the affirmative vote of the holders of all of the shares of Company Common Stock outstanding on the record date for the Company Shareholders' Meeting.

(i) No fractional shares of Parent Common Stock shall be issued in connection with the Offer, and no certificates or scrip for any such fractional shares shall be issued in connection with the Offer. Any holder of Company Common Stock who would otherwise be entitled to receive a fraction of a share of Parent Common Stock in the Offer (after aggregating all fractional shares of Parent Common Stock issuable to such holder in the Offer) shall, in lieu of such fraction of a share, be paid in cash the dollar amount (rounded to the nearest whole cent), without interest, determined by multiplying such fraction by the closing trading price of a share of Parent Common Stock as reported on the NASDAQ Global Select Market on the trading day immediately before the date on which the Acceptance Time occurs.

(j) As soon as reasonably practicable after the date of this Agreement, Parent shall prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement on Form S-4 to register the offer and sale of Parent Common Stock pursuant to the Offer (the "Registration Statement"). The Registration Statement will include a preliminary prospectus containing the information required under Rule 14d-4(b) under the Exchange Act (the "Preliminary Prospectus"). On the Offer

Commencement Date, Parent and Acquisition Sub shall: (i) cause to be filed with the SEC a Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO with respect to the Offer, which will contain or incorporate by reference the Preliminary Prospectus and forms of the related letter of transmittal and summary advertisement (such Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO and all exhibits, amendments and supplements thereto being referred to collectively in this Agreement as the "Offer Documents"); and (ii) cause the Offer Documents to be disseminated to holders of shares of Company Common Stock to the extent required by applicable Legal Requirements. Parent and Acquisition Sub shall use reasonable best efforts to cause the Registration Statement and the Offer Documents to comply in all material respects with the applicable Legal Requirements. The Company and its counsel shall be given reasonable opportunity to review and comment on the Registration Statement and the Offer Documents (including all amendments and supplements thereto) prior to the filing thereof with the SEC. Parent and Acquisition Sub shall promptly provide the Company and its counsel with a copy or a description of any comments received by Parent, Acquisition Sub or their counsel from the SEC or its staff with respect to the Registration Statement or the Offer Documents. Each of Parent and Acquisition Sub shall use reasonable best efforts to respond promptly to any comments of the SEC or its staff with respect to the Registration Statement, the Offer Documents or the Offer. To the extent required by the applicable Legal Requirements, each of Parent, Acquisition Sub and the Company shall use reasonable best efforts (1) to correct promptly any information provided by it for use in the Registration Statement or the Offer Documents to the extent that it becomes aware that such information shall have become false or misleading in any material respect and (2) to take all steps necessary to promptly cause the Registration Statement and the Offer Documents, as supplemented or amended to correct such information, to be filed with the SEC and to be disseminated to holders of shares of Company Common Stock. The Company shall promptly furnish to Parent and Acquisition Sub all information concerning the Acquired Corporations and the Company's shareholders that may be required or reasonably requested in connection with any action contemplated by this Section 1.1(j). Parent shall use reasonable best efforts to have the Registration Statement declared effective under the Securities Act as promptly as possible after its filing and to maintain its effectiveness for so long as shall be required for the issuance of Parent Common Stock pursuant to the Offer and the Mergers. Following the time the Registration Statement is declared effective, Parent shall file the final prospectus included therein under Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act.

(k) Between the date of this Agreement and the Acceptance Time, (i) if the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock are changed into a different number or class of shares by reason of any stock split, division or subdivision of shares, stock dividend, reverse stock split, consolidation of shares, reclassification, recapitalization or other similar transaction, then the Per Share Cash Election Consideration and the Per Share Stock Election Consideration, as the case may be, shall be adjusted to the extent necessary or appropriate to achieve the same economic outcome, and (ii) if the outstanding shares of Parent Common Stock are changed into a different number or class of shares by reason of any stock split, division or subdivision of shares, stock dividend, reverse stock split, consolidation of shares, reclassification, recapitalization or other similar transaction, then the Applicable Fraction or the Per Share Stock Election Consideration, as applicable, shall be adjusted to the extent necessary or appropriate to achieve the same economic outcome.

1.2 Company Actions.

(a) The Company consents to the Offer and represents and warrants to Parent and Acquisition Sub that the Company's board of directors, at a meeting duly called and held, has by the unanimous vote of all directors of the Company (i) determined that this Agreement and the Contemplated Transactions, including the Offer and the Mergers, are fair to and in the best interests of the Company's shareholders, (ii) adopted and approved this Agreement, the Offer, the Mergers and the other Contemplated Transactions, in accordance with the requirements of the General Corporation Law of California (the "CGCL"), (iii) declared that this Agreement is advisable, (iv) resolved to recommend that the shareholders of the Company accept the Offer and tender their shares of Company Common Stock pursuant to the Offer and (to the extent necessary) adopt this Agreement, and (v) to the extent necessary, adopted a resolution having the effect of causing the Company not to be subject to any restriction set forth in any state takeover law or similar Legal Requirement that would otherwise apply to the Shareholder Agreements, the Offer, the Mergers or any of the other Contemplated Transactions. Subject to Sections 1.2(b) and 1.2(c): (1) the Company consents to the inclusion of the Company Board Recommendation in the Offer Documents; and (2) the Company agrees that the Company Board Recommendation shall not be withdrawn or modified in a manner adverse to Parent or Acquisition Sub, and that no resolution of the board of directors of the Company or any committee thereof to withdraw or modify the Company Board Recommendation in a manner adverse to Parent or Acquisition Sub shall be adopted (it being understood that the Company Board Recommendation shall be deemed to have been modified in a manner adverse to Parent and Acquisition Sub if it shall no longer be unanimous).

(b) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Company Board Recommendation may be withdrawn or modified in a manner adverse to Parent and Acquisition Sub at any time prior to the Acceptance Time if: (i) an Acquisition Proposal is made that did not result directly or indirectly from a breach of this Section 1.2 or Section 5.3; (ii) on or prior to the date two (2) business days prior to the date of any meeting of the Company's board of directors at which such board of directors will consider whether such Acquisition Proposal may constitute, or may reasonably be expected to lead to, a Superior Proposal or whether such Acquisition Proposal may require the Company to withdraw or modify the Company Board Recommendation, the Company provides Parent with a written notice specifying the date and time of such meeting, the reasons for holding such meeting and a description of such Acquisition Proposal; (iii) the Company's board of directors reasonably determines in good faith, after having taken into account the advice of the Company's outside legal counsel and after consultation with its financial advisor(s), (A) that such Acquisition Proposal would, if this Agreement or the Offer were not amended or an alternative transaction with Parent were not entered into, constitute, or be reasonably likely to result in, a Superior Proposal and (B) that in light of such Acquisition Proposal, the failure to withdraw or modify the Company Board Recommendation in a manner adverse to Parent or Acquisition Sub would, if this Agreement or the Offer were not amended or an alternative transaction with Parent were not entered into, reasonably be expected to constitute a breach of the Company's board of directors' fiduciary obligations to the Company's shareholders under applicable Legal Requirements; (iv) the Company delivers to Parent a Superior Proposal Notice in accordance with Section 5.3(f) with respect to such Acquisition Proposal (including as an attachment the Specified Definitive Acquisition Agreement (as defined in Section 5.3(f)) and otherwise complies fully with the

notice, negotiation and other requirements set forth in Section 5.3(f); and (v) following the negotiation period(s) described in Section 5.3(f), the Company's board of directors reasonably determines in good faith, after having taken into account the advice of the Company's outside legal counsel and after consultation with its financial advisor(s), and after taking into account any definitive written proposal submitted to the Company by Parent or Acquisition Sub to amend this Agreement or the Offer or enter into an alternative transaction as a result of any negotiations contemplated by Section 5.3(f), that (A) such Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal, and (B) in light of such Acquisition Proposal, the failure to withdraw or modify the Company Board Recommendation in a manner adverse to Parent or Acquisition Sub would reasonably be expected to constitute a breach of the Company's board of directors' fiduciary obligations to the Company's shareholders under applicable Legal Requirements.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 1.2(a), the Company Board Recommendation may also be withdrawn or modified in a manner adverse to Parent and Acquisition Sub at any time prior to the Acceptance Time if: (i) there shall occur or arise after the date of this Agreement a material and fundamental development or material and fundamental change in circumstances that relates to the Company but does not relate to any Acquisition Proposal (any such material development or material change in circumstances unrelated to an Acquisition Proposal being referred to as an "Intervening Event"); (ii) neither the Company nor any member of the board of directors or person identified as having "Knowledge" in the Disclosure Schedule had knowledge, as of the date of this Agreement, that there was a reasonable possibility that such Intervening Event could occur or arise after the date of this Agreement; (iii) on or prior to the date two (2) business days prior to the date of any meeting of the Company's board of directors at which such board of directors will consider whether such Intervening Event may require the Company to withdraw or modify the Company Board Recommendation, the Company provides Parent with a written notice specifying the date and time of such meeting, the reasons for holding such meeting and a description of such Intervening Event; (iv) the Company's board of directors reasonably determines in good faith, after having taken into account the advice of the Company's outside legal counsel and after consultation with its financial advisor(s), that, in light of such Intervening Event, the failure to withdraw or modify the Company Board Recommendation in a manner adverse to Parent or Acquisition Sub would, if this Agreement or the Offer were not amended or an alternative transaction with Parent were not entered into, reasonably be expected to constitute a breach of the Company's board of directors' fiduciary obligations to the Company's shareholders under applicable Legal Requirements; (v) the Company Board Recommendation is not withdrawn or modified in a manner adverse to Parent or Acquisition Sub at any time within the period of three (3) business days after Parent receives written notice from the Company confirming that the Company's board of directors has determined that the failure to withdraw or modify the Company Board Recommendation in light of such Intervening Event would reasonably be expected to constitute a breach of its fiduciary obligations to the Company's shareholders under applicable Legal Requirements; (vi) during such three (3) business day period, if requested by Parent, the Company engages in good faith negotiations with Parent to amend this Agreement or the Offer or enter into an alternative transaction so that no withdrawal or modification of the Company Board Recommendation is legally required as a result of such Intervening Event; and (vii) at the end of such three (3) business day period, the Company's board of directors reasonably determines in good faith, after having taken into account the advice of the Company's outside legal counsel and after consultation with its financial advisor(s), that the failure to withdraw or modify the Company

Board Recommendation would reasonably be expected to constitute a breach of the fiduciary obligations of the Company's board of directors to the Company's shareholders under applicable Legal Requirements in light of such Intervening Event (taking into account any definitive written proposal submitted to the Company by Parent or Acquisition Sub to amend this Agreement or the Offer or enter into an alternative transaction as a result of the negotiations contemplated by clause "(vi)" above).

(d) Contemporaneously with the filing of the Schedule TO or as promptly as practicable thereafter on the Offer Commencement Date, the Company shall file with the SEC and (following or contemporaneously with the dissemination of the Offer Documents and related documents) disseminate to holders of shares of Company Common Stock a Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9 (together with any amendments or supplements thereto, the "Schedule 14D-9") that, subject only to Sections 1.2(b) and 1.2(c), shall reflect the Company Board Recommendation. The Company shall reasonable best efforts to cause the Schedule 14D-9 and the filing and dissemination thereof to comply in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder and with all other applicable Legal Requirements. Parent and its legal counsel shall be given reasonable opportunity to review and comment on the Schedule 14D-9 (including any amendment or supplement thereto) prior to the filing thereof with the SEC, and the Company shall include all additions, deletions or changes thereto suggested by Parent and its legal counsel that the Company reasonably determines to be appropriate. The Company shall promptly provide Parent and its legal counsel with a copy of any written comments and a description of any oral comments received by the Company or its legal counsel from the SEC or its staff with respect to the Schedule 14D-9 and shall use reasonable best efforts to respond promptly to any such comments. To the extent required by the applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder or by other Legal Requirements, (i) each of Parent, Acquisition Sub and the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to promptly correct any information provided by it for use in the Schedule 14D-9 to the extent that such information shall be or shall have become false or misleading in any material respect, and (ii) the Company shall take all steps necessary to cause the Schedule 14D-9, as supplemented or amended to correct such information, to be filed with the SEC and, if required by applicable Legal Requirements, to be disseminated to holders of shares of Company Common Stock.

(e) The Company shall promptly provide to Parent (i) a list of the Company's shareholders as well as mailing labels and any available listing or computer file containing the names and addresses of all record holders of shares of Company Common Stock and lists of securities positions of shares of Company Common Stock held in stock depositories, in each case accurate and complete as of the most recent practicable date, and (ii) such additional information (including updated lists of shareholders, mailing labels and lists of securities positions) and such other assistance as Parent may reasonably request in connection with the Offer or the Mergers. Except as may be required by applicable Legal Requirements or legal process, and except as may be necessary to disseminate the Offer Documents, Parent and Acquisition Sub shall hold in confidence, in accordance with the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement and this Agreement, any information contained in any such labels, listings and files provided by the Company to Parent.

1.3 Directors.

(a) Effective upon the Acceptance Time and from time to time thereafter, Parent shall be entitled to designate, to serve on the Company's board of directors, the number of directors, rounded up to the next whole number, determined by multiplying: (i) the total number of directors on the Company's board of directors (giving effect to any increase in the size of the Company's board of directors effected pursuant to this Section 1.3(a)); by (ii) a fraction having a numerator equal to the aggregate number of shares of Company Common Stock then beneficially owned by Parent or Acquisition Sub (including all shares of Company Common Stock accepted for exchange pursuant to the Offer), and having a denominator equal to the total number of shares of Company Common Stock then issued and outstanding; provided, however, that in all events the minimum number of the members of the Company's board of directors shall be five (5) and Parent's designees shall be of such number so as to constitute at least a majority of the members of the Company's board of directors, including in the circumstance where the number of shares of Company Common Stock purchased in the Offer shall have been reduced to the Reduced Purchase Amount in the manner contemplated by Section 1.1(h)(ii). Promptly following a request from Parent, the Company shall take all action necessary to cause Parent's designees to be elected or appointed to the Company's board of directors, including seeking and accepting resignations of incumbent directors and, if such resignations are not obtained, increasing the size of the Company's board of directors; provided that the size of the Company's board of directors may not exceed nine members, as provided in the Company's Restated Bylaws. From and after the Acceptance Time, to the extent requested by Parent, the Company shall also use reasonable best efforts, as permitted by all applicable Legal Requirements (including the rules of the NASDAQ Global Market), to: (A) obtain and deliver to Parent the resignation of each individual who is an officer of the Company; and (B) cause individuals designated by Parent to constitute the number of members, rounded up to the next whole number, on (1) each committee of the Company's board of directors and (2) the board of directors of each Subsidiary of the Company (and each committee thereof) that represents at least the same percentage as individuals designated by Parent represent on the board of directors of the Company. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 1.3, at all times prior to the Effective Time (as defined in Section 2.3), at least two (2) of the members of the Company's board of directors designated by the Company prior to the Acceptance Time shall be individuals who were directors of the Company on the date of this Agreement and who are independent directors for purposes of the continued listing requirements of Nasdaq ("Independent Directors"); provided, however, that if at any time prior to the Effective Time there shall be only one Independent Director serving as a director of the Company for any reason, then the Company's board of directors shall, subject to the following sentence, cause an individual selected by the remaining Independent Director to be appointed to serve on the Company's board of directors (and such individual shall be deemed to be an Independent Director for all purposes under this Agreement). The Company shall designate, prior to the Acceptance Time, two alternate Independent Directors that the board of directors of the Company shall appoint in the event of death, disability or resignation of the Independent Directors, each of whom shall, following such appointment to the Company's board of directors, be deemed to be an Independent Director of the Company.

(b) In connection with the performance of its obligations to cause Parent's designees to be elected or appointed to the Company's board of directors, each of the Company and Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts to promptly take all actions, and the

Company shall cause to be included in the Schedule 14D-9 such information with respect to the Company and its officers and directors, as Section 14(f) of the Exchange Act and Rule 14f-1 thereunder require (subject to the Company's receipt of the information with respect to Parent and its nominees, officers, directors and affiliates required by Section 14(f) of the Exchange Act and Rule 14f-1 thereunder). The provisions of this Section 1.3 are in addition to, and shall not limit, any right that Acquisition Sub, Parent or any affiliate of Acquisition Sub or Parent may have (with respect to the election of directors or otherwise) under applicable Legal Requirements as a holder or beneficial owner of shares of Company Common Stock.

(c) Following the election or appointment of Parent's designees to the Company's board of directors pursuant to Section 1.3(a) and until the Effective Time, if the taking of any of the following actions would reasonably be expected to affect adversely the holders of shares of Company Common Stock (other than Parent or Acquisition Sub), each of the following actions may be effected only if there are on the Company's board of directors one or more Independent Directors and such action is approved by a majority of such Independent Directors: (i) any action by the Company with respect to any amendment or waiver of any term or condition of this Agreement, the Mergers, or the articles of incorporation or bylaws of the Company; (ii) termination of this Agreement by the Company; (iii) extension by the Company of the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of Parent or Acquisition Sub, or any waiver or assertion of any of the Company's rights under this Agreement; or (iv) other consent or action by the Company with respect to the Offer, the Mergers or any of the other Contemplated Transactions. To the extent permitted under applicable Legal Requirements, until the Effective Time, (1) the approval of any of the foregoing actions by a majority of the Independent Directors shall constitute the valid authorization of the Company's board of directors with respect to such action, and no other action on the part of the Company or by any other director of the Company shall be required to authorize such actions and (2) in addition to any requirements under the Company's articles of incorporation and bylaws, any quorum of the Company's board of directors for the purposes of any meeting thereof or transacting of business thereby with respect to the approval of any of the foregoing actions shall be deemed to require the attendance of at least one Independent Director.

1.4 Top-Up Option.

(a) The Company grants to Parent and Acquisition Sub an irrevocable option (the "Top-Up Option"), exercisable upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, to purchase from the Company an aggregate number of newly issued shares of Company Common Stock equal to the lesser of (i) the number of shares of Company Common Stock that, when added to the number of shares of Company Common Stock owned by Parent or Acquisition Sub or any other Subsidiaries of Parent at the time of exercise of the Top-Up Option, constitutes at least one (1) share of Company Common Stock more than ninety percent (90%) of the Adjusted Outstanding Share Number immediately after the issuance of all shares of Company Common Stock subject to the Top-Up Option, or (ii) the aggregate number of shares of Company Common Stock that the Company is authorized to issue under its articles of incorporation but that are not issued and outstanding (and are not reserved or subscribed for or otherwise committed to be issued) at the time of exercise of the Top-Up Option. The obligation of the Company to issue and deliver shares pursuant to the Top-Up Option is subject only to the condition that no legal restraint (other than any listing requirement of any securities exchange) that has the effect of preventing the exercise of the Top-Up Option or the issuance and delivery of the Top-Up Option Shares in respect of such exercise shall be in effect.

(b) The Top-Up Option may be exercised by Parent or Acquisition Sub, in whole or in part, at any time at or within five (5) Business Days after the Acceptance Time. The aggregate purchase price payable for the shares of Company Common Stock being purchased by Parent or Acquisition Sub pursuant to the Top-Up Option shall be determined by multiplying the number of such shares by an amount equal to the Per Share Cash Election Consideration. Such purchase price may be paid by Parent or Acquisition Sub, at its election, either entirely in cash or by executing and delivering to the Company a full recourse promissory note, secured to the extent required by California Legal Requirements, having a principal amount equal to such purchase price, or by any combination of the foregoing. Any such promissory note shall bear interest at the rate of 3% per annum, shall mature on the first anniversary of the date of execution thereof and may be prepaid without premium or penalty.

(c) In the event Parent or Acquisition Sub wishes to exercise the Top-Up Option, Parent or Acquisition Sub shall deliver to the Company a notice setting forth (i) the number of shares of Company Common Stock that Parent or Acquisition Sub intends to purchase pursuant to the Top-Up Option, (ii) the manner in which Parent or Acquisition Sub intends to pay the applicable exercise price and (iii) the place, date and time at which the closing of the purchase of such shares of Company Common Stock by Parent or Acquisition Sub is to take place. At the closing of the purchase of such shares of Company Common Stock, Parent or Acquisition Sub shall cause to be delivered to the Company the consideration required to be delivered in exchange for such shares, and the Company shall cause to be issued to Parent or Acquisition Sub (as the case may be) a certificate representing such shares or, at Parent or Acquisition Sub's request or otherwise if the Company does not then have certificated shares, the applicable number of uncertificated shares represented by book-entry ("Book-Entry Shares").

(d) Parent and Acquisition Sub acknowledge that the Top-Up Option Shares that Merger Sub may acquire upon exercise of the Top-Up Option will not be registered under the Securities Act, and will be issued in reliance upon an exemption thereunder for transactions not involving a public offering. Parent and Acquisition Sub represent and warrant to the Company that Acquisition Sub is, or will be upon the purchase of the Top-Up Option shares, an "Accredited Investor," as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D under the Securities Act. Acquisition Sub agrees that the Top-Up Option and the shares to be acquired upon exercise of the Top-Up Option are being and will be acquired by Acquisition Sub for the purpose of investment and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any distribution thereof in violation of the Securities Act.

Section 2. THE MERGERS

Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, Parent, Acquisition Sub and the Company shall cause the Merger to be consummated by causing an agreement of merger and officers' certificate or other appropriate documents (in any such case, the "Agreement of Merger") to be filed with the Secretary of State of the State of California, in such form as is required by, and executed in accordance with, the relevant provisions of the CGCL. The Merger shall become effective upon the filing of the Agreement of Merger and officers' certificate with the Secretary of State of the State of California or at such subsequent time or date as Acquisition Sub and the Company shall agree and specify in the Agreement of Merger. The time at which the Merger becomes effective is referred to in this Agreement as the "Effective Time".

2.4 Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws; Directors and Officers. Unless otherwise determined by Parent prior to the Effective Time:

(a) the Articles of Incorporation of the Surviving Corporation shall be amended in its entirety immediately after the Effective Time to conform to the Articles of Incorporation of Acquisition Sub as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, except that the name of the Surviving Corporation shall be "Sonic Solutions";

2.5 Conversion of Shares.

(a) At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any further action on the part of Parent, Acquisition Sub, the Company or any holder of shares of the Company:

(i) any shares of Company Common Stock then held by the Company or any wholly owned Subsidiary of the Company or held in the Company's treasury shall be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist, and no consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor;

(ii) any shares of Company Common Stock then owned of record by Parent, Acquisition Sub or any other wholly owned Subsidiary of Parent shall be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist, and no consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor;

(iii) except as provided in clauses "(i)" and "(ii)" above and subject to Sections 2.5(a)(iv), 2.5(b), 2.5(c) and 2.7, each share of Company Common Stock then outstanding shall be converted into the right to receive (upon the proper surrender of the certificate representing such share) the Per Share Consideration;

(iv) except as provided in clauses "(i)" and "(ii)" above and subject to Sections 2.5(b), 2.5(c) and 2.7, in the event that Parent elects to consummate the Merger in accordance with Section 1.1(h)(iii)(B), each share of Company Common Stock then outstanding shall be converted into the right to receive (upon the proper surrender of the certificate representing such share) the Per Share Stock Election Consideration; and

(v) each share of the common stock, $0.001 par value per share, of Acquisition Sub then outstanding shall be converted into one newly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock of the Surviving Corporation.

(b) Between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time, (i) if the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock are changed into a different number or class of shares by reason of any stock split, division or subdivision of shares, stock dividend, reverse stock split, consolidation of shares, reclassification, recapitalization or other similar transaction, then the Per Share Consideration or the Per Share Stock Consideration, as applicable, shall be adjusted to the extent necessary or appropriate to achieve the same economic outcome, and (ii) if the outstanding shares of Parent Common Stock are changed into a different number or class of shares by reason of any stock split, division or subdivision of shares, stock dividend, reverse stock split, consolidation of shares, reclassification, recapitalization or other similar transaction, then the Applicable Fraction or Per Share Stock Consideration, as applicable, shall be adjusted to the extent necessary or appropriate to achieve the same economic outcome.

(c) No fractional shares of Parent Common Stock shall be issued in connection with the Merger, and no certificates or scrip for any such fractional shares shall be issued in connection with the Merger. Any holder of Company Common Stock who would otherwise be entitled to receive a fraction of a share of Parent Common Stock in the Merger (after aggregating all fractional shares of Parent Common Stock issuable to such holder in the Merger) shall, in lieu of such fraction of a share and upon surrender of such holder's Stock Certificate(s) (as defined in Section 2.6(b)), be paid in cash the dollar amount (rounded to the nearest whole cent), without interest, determined by multiplying such fraction by the closing trading price of a share of Parent Common Stock as reported on the NASDAQ Global Select Market on the trading day immediately before the date on which the Effective Time occurs.

2.6 Surrender of Certificates; Stock Transfer Books.

(a) Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall designate a bank or trust company to act as exchange agent in the Merger (the "Exchange Agent"). As soon as practicable after the Effective Time, Parent shall deposit with the Exchange Agent (i) if applicable, cash in an amount equal to the cash payable pursuant to Section 2.5(a)(iii) as the Cash Component of the Per Share Consideration, (ii) certificates representing any shares of Parent Common Stock issuable pursuant to Section 2.5(a)(iii) or Section 2.5(a)(iv) and (iii) cash sufficient to make any payments in lieu of fractional shares of Parent Common Stock in accordance with Section 2.5(c), in each case assuming no holder of Company Common Stock perfects dissenters' rights under Chapter 13 of the CGCL. The cash amounts and any shares of Parent Common Stock so deposited with the Exchange Agent, together with any dividends or distributions received by the Exchange Agent with respect to such shares, are referred to collectively as the "Exchange Fund." The cash in the Exchange Fund shall be invested by the Exchange Agent as directed by Parent in money market funds or similar short-term liquid investments.

(b) As soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time, Parent will instruct the Exchange Agent to mail to the Persons who, immediately prior to the Effective Time, were record holders of certificates representing shares of Company Common Stock ("Stock Certificates") or uncertificated shares of Company Common Stock represented by Book-Entry Shares, (i) a letter of transmittal in customary form and containing such provisions as Parent may reasonably specify (including, in the case of holders of Stock Certificates, a provision confirming that delivery of Stock Certificates shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to Stock Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of such Stock Certificates to the Exchange Agent), and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of Stock Certificates and Book-Entry Shares. Upon surrender of a Stock Certificate or Book-Entry Share to the Exchange Agent for exchange, together with a duly executed letter of transmittal and such other documents as may be reasonably required by the Exchange Agent or Parent, (A) the holder of such Stock Certificate or Book-Entry Share shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor the consideration deliverable to such holder pursuant to Section 2.5(a)(iii) or Section 2.5 (a)(iv), as applicable, and any cash payment in lieu of a fractional share of Parent Common Stock in accordance with Section 2.5(c), and (B) the Stock Certificate or Book-Entry Share so surrendered shall be canceled. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 2.6(b), each Stock Certificate or Book-Entry Share shall be deemed, from and after the Effective Time, to represent solely the right to receive the Per Share Consideration or the Per Share Stock Election Consideration for each share of Company Common Stock formerly evidenced by such Stock Certificate or Book-Entry Share. If any Stock Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, Parent may, in its discretion and as a condition to the delivery of any consideration with respect thereto, require the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed Stock Certificate to provide an appropriate affidavit and to deliver a bond (in such sum as Parent may reasonably direct) as indemnity against any claim that may be made against the Exchange Agent, Parent or the Surviving Corporation with respect to such Stock Certificate.

(c) No dividends or other distributions declared or made with respect to Parent Common Stock with a record date after the Effective Time shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Stock Certificate with respect to any shares of Parent Common Stock that such holder has the right to receive in the Merger until such holder surrenders such Stock Certificate in

accordance with this Section 2.6 (at which time such holder shall be entitled, subject to the effect of applicable escheat or similar laws, to receive all such dividends and distributions, without interest).

(d) Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains undistributed to holders of Stock Certificates or Book-Entry Shares as of the first anniversary of the date on which the Merger becomes effective shall be delivered to Parent upon demand, and any holders of Stock Certificates or Book-Entry Shares who have not theretofore surrendered their Stock Certificates or Book-Entry Shares in accordance with this Section 2.6 shall thereafter look only to Parent for satisfaction of their claims for delivery of consideration in connection with the Merger. Neither Parent nor the Surviving Corporation shall be liable to any holder or former holder of Company Common Stock or to any other Person with respect to any cash amounts or shares of Parent Common Stock delivered to any public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property law, escheat law or similar Legal Requirement.

(e) At the Effective Time, holders of Stock Certificates and Book-Entry Shares that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall cease to have any rights as shareholders of the Company, and the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed with respect to all shares of Company Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. No further transfer of any such shares of Company Common Stock shall be made on such stock transfer books after the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, a valid Stock Certificate is presented to the Surviving Corporation or Parent, such Company Stock Certificate shall be canceled and shall be exchanged as provided in this Section 2.6.

(f) Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any consideration payable or otherwise deliverable to any holder or former holder of Company Common Stock pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as Parent or the Surviving Corporation determines in good faith may be required to be deducted or withheld therefrom under the Code or any provision of state, local or foreign Tax law or under any other Legal Requirement. To the extent any such amounts are so deducted or withheld, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes under this Agreement as having been paid to the Person to whom such amounts would otherwise have been paid.

(g) If any Stock Certificate has not been surrendered by the earlier of (i) the fifth anniversary of the date on which the Merger becomes effective or (ii) the date immediately prior to the date on which the consideration that such Stock Certificate represents the right to receive would otherwise escheat to or become the property of any Governmental Body, then such consideration shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, become the property of the Surviving Corporation, free and clear of any claim or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.

2.7 Dissenters' rights.

(a) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, shares of Company Common Stock that are outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and that are held of record by shareholders who shall have not voted in favor of the Merger or consented thereto in writing and who shall have properly exercised dissenters' rights in

accordance with Chapter 13 of the CGCL (collectively, the "Dissenting Company Shares") shall not be converted into or represent the right to receive the Per Share Consideration or Per Share Stock Election Consideration, as applicable, in accordance with Section 2.5(a). Such shareholders shall be entitled to receive payment of the "fair market value" of such Dissenting Company Shares held by them in accordance with the provisions of such Chapter 13, except that all Dissenting Company Shares held by shareholders who shall have failed to perfect or who effectively shall have withdrawn or lost their rights to appraisal of such Dissenting Company Shares under such Chapter 13 shall, as of the later of the Effective Time or the time of the failure to perfect such rights or the loss of such rights, automatically be converted into and shall represent only the right to receive (upon the surrender of the Stock Certificate representing such share) the Per Share Consideration or Per Share Stock Election Consideration, as applicable, in accordance with Section 2.5(a).

(b) The Company shall give Parent (i) prompt notice of (A) any written demand received by the Company prior to the Effective Time to require the Company to purchase shares of Company Common Stock pursuant to Chapter 13 of the CGCL and (B) any other demand, notice or instrument delivered to the Company prior to the Effective Time pursuant to the CGCL, and (ii) the opportunity to direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to any such demand, notice or instrument. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company shall not make any payment or settlement offer prior to the Effective Time with respect to any such demand unless Parent shall have consented in writing to such payment or settlement offer. The parties hereby agree and acknowledge that in any appraisal proceeding with respect to the Dissenting Company Shares and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, the fair value of the Dissenting Company Shares shall be determined in accordance with Chapter 13 of the CGCL without regard to the Top-Up Option, the shares of Company Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Top-up Option or any promissory note delivered by Acquisition Sub to the Company in payment for the shares of Company Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Top-Up Option.

2.8 Further Action. If, at any time after the Effective Time, any further action is determined by Parent to be necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement or to vest the Surviving Corporation with full right, title and possession of and to all rights and property of Acquisition Sub and the Company, the officers and directors of the Surviving Corporation and Parent shall be fully authorized (in the name of Acquisition Sub, in the name of the Company and otherwise) to take such action.

2.9 Second Merger. Immediately following the Merger, Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to be merged with and into Merger Sub II, with Merger Sub II surviving the Second Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent.

(a) Subject to Section 5.3(b), from and after the date hereof until the Effective Time, the Company shall not directly or indirectly, and shall ensure that all Representatives of the Company do not, directly or indirectly, (i) solicit, initiate, knowingly encourage or knowingly facilitate the making, submission or announcement of any Acquisition Proposal or Acquisition Inquiry or knowingly take any action that could reasonably be expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal or Acquisition Inquiry, (ii) furnish any non-public information regarding the Company to any Person in connection with or in response to an Acquisition Proposal or Acquisition Inquiry, (iii) engage in discussions or negotiations with any Person with respect to any Acquisition Proposal or Acquisition Inquiry, (iv) approve, endorse or recommend any Acquisition Proposal or (v) enter into any letter of intent or similar document or any Contract contemplating or providing for any Acquisition Transaction or accepting any Acquisition Proposal. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company acknowledges and agrees that any action taken by any Representative of the Company that, if taken by the Company would constitute a breach of this Section 5.3, shall be deemed to constitute a breach of this Section 5.3 by the Company (whether or not such Representative is purporting to act on behalf of the Company).

(b) Nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit the Company or its board of directors from furnishing non-public information regarding the Company to, or entering into discussions or negotiations (including, as a part thereof, exchanging any counterproposals) with, any Person and its Representatives in response to a written Acquisition Proposal that is submitted to the Company by such Person (and not withdrawn) which the board of directors of the Company determines in good faith (after consultation with its financial advisor(s)) is, or could reasonably be expected to lead to, a Superior Proposal if (1) neither the Company nor any Representative of the Company shall have breached in any material respect any of the provisions set forth in Section 1.2 or this Section 5.3, (2) the board of directors of the Company determines in good faith, after having taken into account the advice of the Company's outside legal counsel, that the failure to take such action would likely be inconsistent with the Company's board of directors' fiduciary obligations to the Company's shareholders under applicable Legal Requirements, (3) prior to furnishing any such non-public information to, or entering into discussions or negotiations with, such Person, (A) the Company gives written notice to Parent of the identity of such Person and of the Company's decision to furnish non-public information to, or enter into discussions or negotiations with, such Person, and (B) the Company receives from such Person an executed confidentiality agreement containing customary limitations on the use and disclosure of all non-public written and oral information furnished to such Person by or on behalf of the Company that are no less favorable to the Company than the confidentiality provisions and use restrictions of the Confidentiality Agreement, and (4) contemporaneously with or prior to furnishing any such non-public information to such Person, the Company furnishes all such non-public information to Parent (to the extent such non-public information has not been previously furnished by the Company to Parent).

(c) If the Company or any of its Representatives receives an Acquisition Proposal or any request for non-public information at any time during the Pre-Closing Period, then the Company shall promptly (and in no event later than 24 hours after receipt of such Acquisition Proposal or request) advise Parent orally and in writing of such

Acquisition Proposal or request (including the identity of the Person making or submitting such Acquisition Proposal or request and the material terms thereof) and provide Parent with copies of all documents relating thereto. The Company shall promptly (and in no event later than 24 hours after such material development) inform Parent in writing with respect to any material development relating to such Acquisition Proposal or request and any modification or proposed modification thereto, and provide Parent with copies of all documents relating thereto.

(d) The Company shall immediately cease and cause to be terminated any existing discussions between the Company or any of its Representatives and any Person with respect to any Acquisition Proposal or Acquisition Inquiry.

(e) The Company agrees not to release any Person from, or to amend or waive any provision of, any confidentiality, "standstill," nonsolicitation or similar agreement to which the Company is or becomes a party or under which the Company has or acquires any rights, and will use its reasonable best efforts to enforce or cause to be enforced each such agreement at the request of Parent; provided, however, that this Section 5.3(e) shall not preclude the Company from responding to an unsolicited Acquisition Proposal submitted to the Company by a party that is bound by a "standstill" agreement and shall not require the Company to enforce or cause to be enforced its rights under such "standstill" agreement relating to the submission of such unsolicited Acquisition Proposal. The Company also shall promptly request each Person that has executed a confidentiality agreement in connection with its consideration of a possible Acquisition Transaction to return or destroy in accordance with the terms of such confidentiality agreement all confidential information heretofore furnished to such Person by or on behalf of the Company.

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 1.2(b), Section 8.1(e) or elsewhere in this Agreement, the Company Board Recommendation may not be withdrawn or modified pursuant to Section 1.2(b), and this Agreement may not be terminated pursuant to Section 8.1(e), unless: (i) the board of directors of the Company shall have received an Acquisition Proposal that it has determined to be a Superior Proposal pursuant to Section 1.2(b) and shall have received from the Person making such Acquisition Proposal a form of written definitive acquisition agreement providing for the consummation of the transaction contemplated by such Acquisition Proposal (the "Specified Definitive Acquisition Agreement"); (ii) not less than three (3) business days (or such longer period as provided below) prior to any such withdrawal or modification of the Company Board Recommendation pursuant to Section 1.2(b) and not less than three (3) business days (or such longer period as provided below) prior to any termination of this Agreement by the Company pursuant to Section 8.1(e) (which three (3) day periods, for the avoidance of doubt, may run concurrently), the Company shall have delivered to Parent a written notice (the "Superior Proposal Notice") stating that the Company (or its board of directors) intends to take such action pursuant to Section 1.2(b) and/or Section 8.1(e) and intends to enter into the Specified Definitive Acquisition Agreement relating to such Acquisition Proposal (it being understood and agreed that any determination to send to Parent, or actual delivery to Parent of, a Superior Proposal Notice shall not, in and of itself, constitute a Triggering Event), including as attachments to such Superior Proposal Notice a copy of the Specified Definitive Acquisition Agreement relating to such Acquisition Proposal and copies of any related documents; (iii) during the three (3) business day period commencing on the date of Parent's receipt of such Superior Proposal Notice (as such period may be extended as provided

below), the Company shall have made its Representatives reasonably available for the purpose of engaging in negotiations with Parent (to the extent Parent desires to negotiate) regarding a possible amendment of this Agreement or the Offer or a possible alternative transaction so that the Acquisition Proposal that is the subject of the Superior Proposal Notice ceases to be a Superior Proposal; and (iv) any definitive written proposal made by Parent or Acquisition Sub to amend this Agreement or the Offer or enter into an alternative transaction during the negotiations described in clause "(iii)" above shall have been considered by the board of directors of the Company in good faith, and, after the expiration of the negotiation period described in clause "(iii)" above, the Company's board of directors shall have determined in good faith, after having taken into account the advice of the Company's outside legal counsel and after consultation with its financial advisor(s), that such Acquisition Proposal still constitutes a Superior Proposal; provided, however, that, in the event of any amendment to the financial or other material terms of such Acquisition Proposal, the Company shall be required to deliver to Parent a new Superior Proposal Notice (including as attachments thereto a copy of the new Specified Definitive Acquisition Agreement relating to such amended Acquisition Proposal and copies of any related documents), and the negotiation period described in clause "(iii)" above shall be extended by an additional three (3) business days from the date of Parent's receipt of such new Superior Proposal Notice (except that, if such amendment provides solely for an increase in the dollar amount of the price per share to be paid for Company Common Stock, then such negotiation period shall be extended instead by an additional two (2) business days).

(g) Nothing contained in this Section 5.3 or Section 1.2 shall prohibit the Company or its board of directors from disclosing to the Company's shareholders a position with respect to a tender offer by a third party pursuant to Rules 14d-9 and 14e-2(a) promulgated under the Exchange Act; provided, however, that (i) unless such disclosure consists solely of a "stop, look and listen" communication containing only statements contemplated by Rule 14d-9(f) under the Exchange Act, the Company shall first comply with Section 5.3(f) to the extent applicable to such disclosure, and (ii) the Company acknowledges that any such disclosure (other than a "stop, look and listen" communication containing only statements contemplated by Rule 14d-9(f) under the Exchange Act) may constitute a Triggering Event, and that any such disclosure shall be subject to the other terms and provisions of this Agreement.

6.2 Treatment of Company Options, Company Warrants, Company Restricted Stock Units, Company Equity Plans and Company Warrants.

(a) Definitions. For the purposes of this Section 6.2, the following terms shall have the following meanings:

(i) "Assumed Option" shall mean each then-outstanding Company Option that is not a Terminating Option at the Effective Time, whether or not exercisable at the Effective Time.

(ii) "Assumed Plans" shall mean the Company's 2004 Equity Compensation Plan and the Company's 2010 Inducement Equity Compensation Plan.

(iii) "Assumed RSU" shall mean each then-outstanding Company Restricted Stock Unit at the Effective Time.

(iv) "Terminating Option" shall mean each then-outstanding Company Option granted pursuant to a Company Equity Plan that is vested and exercisable at the Effective Time and that is not an Underwater Company Option.

(v) "Terminating Option Consideration" shall mean for each Terminating Option (on a per share basis): (i) the Per Share Cash Election Consideration; minus (ii) the exercise price of the Terminating Option (on a per share basis) as of immediately prior to the Effective Time.

(vi) "Underwater Company Option" shall mean each Company Option with a per share exercise price equal to or greater than the Per Share Cash Election Consideration.

(b) In the event that at the Effective Time each share of Company Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time is converted into the right to receive the consideration specified in Section 2.5(a)(iii) of this Agreement, each Terminating Option shall not be assumed by Parent and, at the Effective Time, each then-outstanding Terminating Option will automatically be converted into the right to receive: (A) an amount in

cash equal to the product of: (1) the Termination Option Consideration; multiplied by (2) fifty five percent (55%); and (B) a fraction of a share of Parent Common Stock equal to the quotient of: (1) the product of: (x) the Terminating Option Consideration; multiplied by (y) forty five percent (45%); divided by (2) the Parent Average Strike Price.

(c) In the event that at the Effective Time each share of Company Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time is converted into the right to receive the consideration specified in Section 2.5(a)(iv) of this Agreement, each Terminating Option shall not be assumed by Parent and, at the Effective Time, each then-outstanding Terminating Option will automatically be converted into the right to receive a fraction of a share of Parent Common Stock equal to the quotient of: (1) the Terminating Option Consideration; divided by (2) the Parent Average Strike Price.

(d) In any event, at the Effective Time:

(i) Each Assumed Option shall be assumed by Parent, subject to, and in accordance with, the terms of the applicable Company Equity Plan and any stock option agreement or other document evidencing such Assumed Option. Each Assumed Option will continue to have, and be subject to, the same terms and conditions related to the applicable Assumed Option (including as set forth in any applicable stock option agreement or other document evidencing such Assumed Option) immediately prior to the Effective Time (including any repurchase rights or vesting provisions), except that (A) each Assumed Option shall be converted into an option to acquire that number of whole shares of Parent Common Stock equal to the product of: (1) the number of shares of Company Common Stock that were issuable upon exercise of such Assumed Option immediately prior to the Effective Time; multiplied by (2) the Per Share Stock Election Consideration, rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares of Parent Common Stock, and (B) the per share exercise price of such Assumed Option will be equal to the quotient of: (1) the exercise price per share of Company Common Stock subject to such Assumed Option immediately prior to the Effective Time; divided by (2) the Per Share Stock Election Consideration, rounded up to the nearest whole cent. It is the intention of the parties hereto that the assumption by Parent of Assumed Options pursuant hereto satisfies the requirements of Treasury Regulation Section 1.424-1 (to the extent such options were incentive stock options) and of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(5)(v)(D) and the provisions of this Section 6.2(d)(i) shall be interpreted and applied consistent with such intention. All outstanding rights that the Company may hold immediately prior to the Effective Time with respect to the forfeiture of shares of Company Common Stock subject to an Assumed Option described in this Section 6.2(d)(i) shall be assigned to Parent and shall thereafter be held by Parent upon the same terms and conditions in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, except that the shares forfeitable pursuant to such rights shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect the Per Share Stock Election Consideration.

Each Assumed RSU will continue to have, and be subject to, the same terms and conditions related to the applicable Assumed RSU (including as set forth in any applicable restricted stock unit agreement or other document evidencing such Assumed RSU) immediately prior to the Effective Time (including

any repurchase rights or vesting provisions), except that each Assumed RSU shall be converted into the right to receive that number of whole shares of Parent Common Stock (or an amount in cash in respect thereof for a cash settled Assumed RSU) equal to the product of: (A) the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to the Assumed RSU immediately prior to the Effective Time; multiplied by (B) the Per Share Stock Election Consideration, rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares of Parent Common Stock. It is the intention of the parties hereto that the assumption by Parent of each Assumed RSU pursuant hereto satisfies the requirements of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(5)(v)(D) and the provisions of this Section 6.2(d)(ii) shall be interpreted and applied consistent with such intention. All outstanding rights that the Company may hold immediately prior to the Effective Time with respect to the forfeiture of shares of Company Common Stock subject to any Assumed RSU described in this Section 6.2(d)(ii) shall be assigned to Parent and shall thereafter be held by Parent upon the same terms and conditions in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, except that the shares forfeitable pursuant to such rights shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect the Per Share Stock Election Consideration.

(e) All federal, state and local withholding obligations relating to the automatic conversion of Terminating Options at the Effective Time will be first satisfied by deducting such amounts from the cash, if any, payable to the holders of such Terminating Options. If the withholding obligations exceed the cash, if any, payable to the holder of the Terminating Option, any remaining withholding obligation will be satisfied by withholding a number of shares of Parent Common Stock otherwise issuable to the holder of the Terminating Option equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the dollar amount of any remaining withholding obligation by (ii) the Parent Average Stock Price.

(f) Parent agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to file with the SEC, no later than ten (10) business days after the Closing Date, a registration statement on Form S-8 (or any successor form) relating to the shares of Parent Common Stock issuable with respect to Assumed Options and issuable upon settlement of Assumed RSUs and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement thereafter for so long as any of such Assumed Options or Assumed RSUs remain outstanding.

(g) Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall provide notice to each holder of Company Stock Options and Company Restricted Stock Units describing the treatment of such Company Stock Options and Company Restricted Stock Units under this Agreement. The Company shall take all steps necessary to cause the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.2 to occur.

(h) Following the Effective Time, unless Parent provides otherwise, Parent will assume the Assumed Plans and be able to grant stock awards, to the extent permissible by applicable Legal Requirement and Nasdaq regulations, under the terms of the Assumed Plans to issue the reserved but unissued shares of Company Common Stock under the Assumed Plans. The shares subject to the unexercised portions of any award granted thereunder that expires, terminates or is canceled, and shares of Company Common Stock issued pursuant to an award that are reacquired by Parent pursuant to the terms of the award under which such shares were issued that would otherwise return to the Assumed Plans pursuant to their respective terms, will return and may be used for awards to be granted under the respective Assumed Plan,

except that (i) shares of Company Common Stock covered by such awards will be shares of Parent Common Stock and (ii) all references to a number of shares of Company Common Stock will be (A) changed to reference Parent Common Stock and (B) converted to a number of shares of Parent Common Stock equal to the product of the number of shares of Company Common Stock multiplied by the Per Share Stock Election Consideration, rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares of Parent Common Stock. None of the Acquired Corporations shall take any action that would otherwise preclude Parent from being able to grant awards under the Assumed Plans, including adopting resolutions to terminate either of the Assumed Plans.

(i) In accordance with each Company Equity Plan, the Company covenants now, and effective as of the Acceptance Time and the completion of the Offer: (i) that the completion of the Offer is a "Corporate Transaction" (as defined in the applicable Company Equity Plan); (ii) that the Company shall affirm and Assume (as defined in the applicable Company Equity Plan) each outstanding Company Option and Company Restricted Stock Unit as of the Acceptance Time; and (iii) that the Company shall provide such further evidence of such affirmation and assumption as Parent may reasonably request. Subject to the terms of any individual agreement in effect as of the date of this Agreement as set forth on Part 3.16(l) of the Disclosure Schedule, the Company further covenants that there shall be no acceleration of vesting of any Company Options or Company Restricted Stock Units upon completion of the Offer or the consummation of either of the Mergers.

(j) At the Effective Time, each Company Warrant shall be treated in accordance with its terms.

6.3 Employees; Benefits.

(a) From and after the Effective Time, Parent shall provide Company Continuing Employees with health and welfare benefits providing coverage and benefits that are either (i) the same as provided pursuant to the employee health and welfare benefit plans maintained by Company as of the date hereof or (ii) pursuant to employee health and welfare benefit plans that are no less favorable than those provided to employees of Parent in positions comparable to positions held by Company Continuing Employees. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in the Agreement shall limit the ability of Parent or the surviving entity in the Mergers to amend or terminate any Company Employee Plan, Company Foreign Plan, or Parent employee benefit plan, program, policy, or arrangement in accordance with their terms and applicable law at any time after the Effective Time. The provisions contained in this Section 6.3(a) are included for the sole benefit of the respective parties hereto and shall not create any right in any other Person, including, without limitation, any current or former Company Associates, any participant in any Company Employee Plan or Company Foreign Plan, or any beneficiary thereof or any right to continued employment with Parent or the surviving entity in the Mergers, nor shall require Parent to provide, continue, or amend any particular employee benefits after the consummation of the Contemplated Transactions for any current or former Company Associate.

(b) With respect to any Parent Plans in which Company Associates become eligible to participate after the Effective Time, each participating Company Associate's service with Acquired Corporations (as well as service with any predecessor employer, to the extent service with the predecessor employer is recognized for purposes of the applicable

Company Employee Plan or Company Foreign Plan) or any Company Affiliate shall be treated as service with Parent or any of its Affiliates for all purposes, including determining eligibility to participate, level of benefits, vesting, and benefit accruals; provided, however, that, except as expressly provided in Section 6.3(e), such service need not be recognized for purposes of benefit accrual under any "defined benefit plan" as defined in Section 3(35) of ERISA, for purposes of determination of any severance payments or obligations, or to any extent that such recognition would result in a duplication of benefits.

(c) With respect to any Parent Plans that are "employee welfare benefit plans" within the meaning of Section 3(1) of ERISA and in which the Company Associates become eligible to participate after the Effective Time, Parent shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to waive, or cause to be waived, any pre-existing condition limitations, exclusions, actively-at-work requirements and waiting periods under any such Parent Plans, except to the extent that such pre-existing condition limitations, exclusions, actively-at-work requirements and waiting periods would not have been satisfied or waived under the comparable Company Employee Plan or Company Foreign Plan immediately prior to the Effective Time. Parent shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to recognize, or cause to be recognized, the dollar amount of all co-payments, deductibles and similar expenses incurred by each Company Associate under the Company Employee Plans and/or Company Foreign Plans during the calendar year in which the Effective Time occurs for purposes of satisfying such year's deductible and co-payment limitations under the relevant Parent Plans in which such employees will be eligible to participate from and after the Effective Time to the extent so recognized under the relevant Company Employee Plan and/or Company Foreign Plan immediately prior to the Effective Time.

(d) Unless otherwise requested by Parent in writing prior to the Effective Time of the Merger, Company shall cause to be adopted prior to the Closing Date resolutions of Company's Board of Directors to cease all contributions to any and all 401(k) plans maintained or sponsored by Company or any of its Subsidiaries (collectively, the "401(k) Plans"), and to terminate the 401(k) Plans, on the day preceding the Closing Date. Immediately prior to such termination of the 401(k) Plans, Company shall contribute to the 401(k) plans an amount in cash necessary to fulfill Company's contractual obligations, if any, to match contributions by participants in the 401(k) Plans accrued during the period commencing on January 1, 2010, and ending as of immediately prior to the Closing Date. The form and substance of the resolutions providing for the termination of the 401(k) Plans shall be subject to the review and approval of Parent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. The Company shall deliver to Parent an executed copy of such resolutions as soon as practicable following their adoption by the Company's Board of Directors and shall fully comply with such resolutions.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Parent shall provide a severance benefit equal to two weeks of base pay plus one week of base pay for every full year of service with any of the Acquired Corporations up to a maximum of twelve weeks of base pay to each Company Continuing Employee employed in the United States whose service with Parent or any of the Acquired Corporations is terminated without cause within ninety (90) days after the Closing Date.

6.4 Indemnification of Officers and Directors.

(a) Parent and the Company agree that all rights to exculpation, indemnification and advancement of expenses existing as of the date of this Agreement in favor of the current or former directors or officers of the Company (each, an "Indemnified Person") as provided in the Company's Charter Documents or in any Indemnification Agreement (as defined below) shall survive the Merger and shall continue in full force and effect, but only to the extent such rights to exculpation, indemnification and advancement of expenses are available under and consistent with California law. For a period of six years from the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation and Merger Sub II to maintain in effect the exculpation, indemnification and advancement of expenses provisions of the Company's Charter Documents as in effect as of the date of this Agreement or in any Indemnification Agreements, and shall not amend, repeal or otherwise modify any such provisions in any manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of any individuals who at the Effective Time were current or former directors or officers of the Company; provided, however, that all rights to indemnification in favor of such current or former directors or officers in respect of any Action (as defined in Section 6.5(b)) pending or asserted or any claim made against them within such six-year period shall continue until the disposition of such Action or resolution of such claim. From and after the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation and Merger Sub II to honor, in accordance with their respective terms, each of the covenants contained in this Section 6.5. For purposes of this Agreement, "Indemnification Agreement" shall mean any indemnification agreement between the Company and an Indemnified Person in his or her capacity as a director or officer of the Company, as such agreement is in effect as of the date of this Agreement.

(b) Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation and Merger Sub II to, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Legal Requirements, indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnified Person against any costs or expenses (including advancing attorneys' fees and expenses in advance of the final disposition of any Action to each Indemnified Person to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements), judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages, liabilities and amounts paid in settlement in connection with any actual or threatened claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (an "Action") arising out of, relating to or in connection with any action or omission by such Indemnified Person occurring or alleged to have occurred before the Effective Time in connection with such Indemnified Person serving as an officer or director of the Company; provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Surviving Corporation and Merger Sub II shall only be required to indemnify and hold harmless, or advance expenses to, an Indemnified Person if and to the same extent such Indemnified Person is entitled to be indemnified by the Company or has the right to advancement of expenses from the Company pursuant to (i) the Charter Documents of the Company as in effect as of the date of this Agreement or (ii) any Indemnification Agreement between the Company and such Indemnified Person. In the event of any such Action, Parent and the Surviving Corporation and Merger Sub II shall cooperate with the Indemnified Person in the defense of any such Action.

(c) Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall purchase a six-year prepaid "tail" policy on terms and conditions providing substantially equivalent benefits and coverage levels as the current policies of directors' and officers' liability insurance and fiduciary

liability insurance maintained by the Company (the "Existing D&O Policies") with respect to matters arising on or before the Effective Time, covering without limitation (to the extent covered by the Existing D&O Policies) the Contemplated Transactions (the "Tail Policy"); provided, however, that if such "tail" policy is not available at a cost of less than 200% of the annual premium paid by the Company in 2010 for the Existing D&O Policies (the "Maximum Premium Amount"), the Company shall purchase as much coverage as is available for such amount. Parent shall cause the Tail Policy to be maintained in full force and effect, for its full term, and cause all obligations thereunder to be honored by the Surviving Corporation.

(d) The rights of each Indemnified Person hereunder shall be in addition to, and not in limitation of, any other rights such Indemnified Person may have under the Charter Documents of the Company, the Surviving Corporation or Merger Sub II, under any other indemnification arrangement, under the CGCL or otherwise. The provisions of this Section 6.5 shall survive the consummation of the Merger and expressly are intended to benefit, and are enforceable by, each of the Indemnified Persons.

(e) This Section 6.4 is intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, the Indemnified Persons and shall be binding on Parent, the Surviving Corporation, Merger Sub II and their successors and assigns.

6.5 Regulatory Approvals and Related Matters.

(a) Each party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to file, as soon as practicable after the date of this Agreement, all notices, reports and other documents required to be filed by such party with any Governmental Body with respect to the Offer, the Merger and the other Contemplated Transactions, and to submit promptly additional information requested by any such Governmental Body. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company and Parent shall, (i) promptly after the date of this Agreement and in any event within ten (10) business days, prepare and file all notification and report forms required to be filed under the HSR Act with respect to the Offer, the Merger and the other Contemplated Transactions; and (ii) promptly after the date of this Agreement, prepare and file, if required or considered advisable, in the reasonable judgment of Parent, in connection with the Offer, the Merger and the other Contemplated Transactions, all notifications and other documents under all applicable foreign antitrust- or competition-related Legal Requirements. The Company and Parent shall respond as promptly as practicable to: (A) any inquiries or requests received from the Federal Trade Commission or the Department of Justice for additional information or documentation; and (B) any inquiries or requests received from any state attorney general, foreign antitrust or competition authority or other Governmental Body in connection with antitrust or competition-related matters. At the request of Parent, the Company shall agree to divest, sell, dispose of, hold separate or otherwise take or commit to take any other action with respect to any of the businesses, product lines or assets of the Company; provided that any such action is conditioned upon the consummation of the Offer or the Merger.

(b) Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 6.5(c), Parent and the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions necessary to consummate the Offer and the Merger and make effective the other Contemplated Transactions. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, but subject to the limitations set

forth in Section 6.5(d), each party to this Agreement: (i) shall make all filings (if any) and give all notices (if any) required, or considered advisable, in the reasonable judgment of Parent, to be made and given by such party or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with the Offer and the Merger and the other Contemplated Transactions, and to cause the expiration or termination of any applicable waiting periods; (ii) shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain each Consent (if any) required, or considered advisable, in the reasonable judgment of Parent to be obtained (pursuant to any applicable Legal Requirement or Contract, or otherwise) by such party or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with the Offer and the Merger or any of the other Contemplated Transactions; and (iii) shall use its reasonable best efforts to lift any restraint, injunction or other legal bar to the Offer or the Merger or any of the other Contemplated Transactions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the failure to obtain any such Consent of a counterparty to any Company Contract identified in any subsection of Part 3.9 or 3.10 of the Disclosure Schedule shall not be the basis for determining that there has been a Company Material Adverse Effect or that the Company has not satisfied any covenant required to be satisfied by it pursuant to this Agreement.

(c) Each of the Company and Parent shall keep the other party apprised of the status of matters relating to the completion of the Offer, the Merger and the other Contemplated Transactions, including promptly furnishing the other party with copies of notices or other communications received by it or any of its Subsidiaries, from any Governmental Body with respect to such transactions. Each of the Company and Parent shall provide the other party with a copy of each proposed filing with or other submission to any Governmental Body relating to any of the Contemplated Transactions, shall give the other party reasonable time prior to making such filing or other submission in which to review and comment on such proposed filing or other submission and shall provide a copy of each such filing or other submission made to the other party. The Company shall provide Parent with a copy of each notice given and each Consent obtained by the Company during the Pre-Closing Period. Any such disclosures, rights to participate or provisions of information by one party to the other may be made on an outside counsel-only basis to the extent required under applicable legal limitations or as appropriate to protect confidential business information.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 6.5 or elsewhere in this Agreement, neither Parent nor Acquisition Sub shall have any obligation under this Agreement to negotiate, commit to or effect, by consent decree or otherwise, any of the following actions: (i) to sell, divest, dispose of, or transfer or cause any of its Subsidiaries to sell, divest, dispose of, or transfer any assets or businesses, or to commit to cause the Company to sell, divest, dispose of, or transfer any assets or businesses; (ii) to discontinue or cause any of its Subsidiaries to discontinue offering any product or service, or to commit to cause the Company to discontinue offering any product or service; (iii) to license or otherwise make available, or cause any of its Subsidiaries to license or otherwise make available to any Person any technology, software or other Intellectual Property or Intellectual Property Right, or to commit to cause the Company to license or otherwise make available to any Person any technology, software or other Intellectual Property or Intellectual Property Right; (iv) to hold separate or cause any of its Subsidiaries to hold separate any Subsidiaries, assets or operations (either before or after the Closing Date), or to commit to cause the Company to hold separate any Subsidiaries, assets or operations; (v) to make or cause any of its Subsidiaries to make any commitment, or to commit to cause the Company to make any commitment (to any

Governmental Body or otherwise) that limits the freedom of Parent or its Subsidiaries' (including the Company's) freedom of action with respect to, or its ability to retain, one or more of its Subsidiaries' (including the Company's) businesses, product lines, or assets,; or (vi) to contest any Legal Proceeding or any order, writ, injunction or decree relating to the Offer or the Merger or any of the other Contemplated Transactions.
