(b) Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, at the Effective Time, the Company shall be merged with and into Merger Subsidiary in accordance with the requirements of the WBCL, whereupon the separate legal existence of the Company shall cease. Merger Subsidiary shall be the surviving corporation in the Merger (the “Surviving Corporation”).

(c) At the Effective Time, the effect of the Merger shall be as provided in this Agreement, the Articles of Merger and the applicable provisions of the WBCL. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and subject thereto, at the Effective Time, all of the property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of the Company and Merger Subsidiary shall vest in the Surviving Corporation, and all debts, liabilities, obligations, restrictions, disabilities and duties of each of the Company and Merger Subsidiary shall become the debts, liabilities, obligations, restrictions, disabilities and duties of the Surviving Corporation.

(d) The closing of the transactions contemplated hereby (the “Closing”) shall take place at 10:00 a.m. local time, as soon as reasonably practicable, but in any event not later than five (5) Business Days after the satisfaction or, to the extent permitted hereby, waiver of all of the conditions to the Merger, other than those conditions that by their nature are to be fulfilled at Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver of such conditions, unless this Agreement shall have been terminated pursuant to its terms or another time or date is agreed to in writing by the parties hereto (the actual time and date of the Closing being referred to herein as the “Closing Date”). The Closing shall be held at the offices of Foley Hoag LLP, Seaport West, 155 Seaport Boulevard, Boston, Massachusetts, or at such other time and place as may be mutually agreed to by the Parties, including, but not limited to, Closing via e-mail or facsimile.

Section 2.2 Effect of the Merger on Capital Stock of the Company and Merger Subsidiary.

At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Merger Subsidiary, the Company or any Company Shareholder, the capital stock of each of the Company and Merger Subsidiary shall be converted or canceled, as the case may be, as provided in this Section 2.2, in accordance with, and not in addition to, the Articles of Incorporation of the Company (in the event of a conflict with respect to distributions to the Company Shareholders between this Section 2.2 and the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, the Company’s Articles of Incorporation shall control):

(a) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.6 and Article VI, each share of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than any shares of Company Common Stock to be canceled pursuant to Section 2.2(b)) shall be canceled and shall be converted automatically into the right to receive such number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Parent Common Stock equal to the Stock Exchange Ratio.

(b) Each share of capital stock of the Company held in the treasury of the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be canceled without any conversion thereof and no payment or distribution shall be made with respect thereto.

(c) Each share of Merger Subsidiary Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and exchanged for one validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Surviving Corporation.

Section 2.3 Effect of the Merger on Company Options. All Company Stock Options which are not vested as of the date hereof shall be accelerated and vested prior to the Effective Time. If such Company Stock Options remain unexercised at the Effective Time, such Company Stock Options shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and retired and the holder of such Company Stock Option shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto.

Section 2.4 Exchange.

(a) Exchange Agent. Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall enter into an agreement with such bank or trust company as may be designated by Parent and reasonably acceptable to the Company (the “Exchange Agent”), which shall provide for the issuance of Merger Consideration in accordance with the terms of this Section 2.4. Parent shall, or shall take all steps necessary to enable and cause the Surviving Corporation to, deposit with the Exchange Agent as of the Effective Time, for the benefit of the holders of Shares, for delivery by the Exchange Agent in accordance with this Article II, the Merger Consideration into which the Shares shall have been converted, which shares of Parent Common Stock shall not be used for any other purpose.

(b) Exchange Procedures. As soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time but in any event not later than three (3) business days thereafter, the Exchange Agent shall mail to each holder of record of Shares, (i) a letter of transmittal (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the certificate or certificates evidencing the Shares held by such holder (the “Certificates”) shall pass, only upon delivery of the Certificates to the Exchange Agent and shall be in such form and have such other provisions as Parent may reasonably specify) and (ii) instructions for use in surrendering the Certificates in exchange for the Merger Consideration. Each holder of record of Shares shall be entitled to receive the Merger Consideration upon surrender of a Certificate for cancellation to the Exchange Agent, together with such letter of transmittal, duly executed, and such other documents as may reasonably be required by the Exchange Agent. Upon issuance of the Merger Consideration pursuant to the provisions of this Article II, each Certificate so surrendered or transferred shall forthwith be canceled. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a transfer of ownership of Shares that is not registered in the transfer records of the Company, issuance of Merger Consideration may be made to a Person other than the Person in whose name the Certificate so surrendered is registered if such Certificate shall be properly endorsed or otherwise be in proper form for transfer and the Person requesting such issuance shall pay any transfer or other Taxes required by reason of the issuance of Merger Consideration to a Person other than the registered holder of such Certificate or establish to the satisfaction of Parent that such Tax has been paid or is not applicable.

(c) No Further Rights. Each Certificate shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive upon surrender in accordance with this Section 2.4 the Merger Consideration into which the Shares evidenced thereby shall have been converted pursuant to Section 2.2. No interest shall be paid or shall accrue on any cash payable to holders of Certificates pursuant to the provisions of this Article II.

Section 2.5 No Fractional Shares.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, each Company Shareholder entitled to receive shares of Parent Common Stock pursuant to Section 2.2 that would otherwise have been entitled to receive a fraction of a share of Parent Common Stock (after taking into account all Certificates delivered by such Company Shareholder and the aggregate number of Shares represented thereby) shall, upon surrender of such Company Shareholder’s Certificates, receive, in lieu of such fraction of a share, an amount of cash (without interest and after giving effect to any required withholdings) equal to the product of (i) such fractional part of a share of Parent Common Stock multiplied by (ii) $0.75.

Section 2.6 Adjustment to Exchange Ratio.

The obligations of Parent and the Surviving Corporation under this Section 5.8 shall not be terminated or modified in such a manner as to adversely affect any indemnitee to whom this Section 5.8 applies without the express written consent of such affected indemnitee (it being expressly agreed that the indemnitees to whom this Section 5.8 applies shall be third party beneficiaries of this Section 5.8).

Section 5.10 Takeover Statutes. If any takeover statute is or becomes applicable to this Agreement, the Merger or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, each of Parent and the Company and their respective Boards of Directors shall (a) take all necessary action to ensure that such transactions may be consummated as promptly as practicable upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement and (b) otherwise act to eliminate the effects of such takeover statute and any of the transactions contemplated hereby.

ARTICLE VII

TERMINATION AND EXPENSES

Section 7.1 Termination.

(b) by either the Company or Parent,

(i) if the Merger has not been consummated as of April 11, 2011 (the “End Date”);

(ii) if there shall be any Law that makes consummation of the Merger illegal or otherwise prohibited or if any Restraint enjoining Parent, Merger Subsidiary or the Company from consummating the Merger is entered and such Restraint shall become final and nonappealable; provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 7.1(b)(ii) is not available to a party that has not fulfilled its obligations under Section 5.4 or Section 5.6 with respect to such Restraint; or

(iii) if there shall have been a breach by the other of any of its respective representations, warranties, covenants or obligations contained in this Agreement, which breach would result in the failure to satisfy one or more of the conditions set forth in Section 6.2(a) or (b) (in the case of a breach by the Company), or Section 6.3(a) or (b) (in the case of a breach by Parent), and in any such case such breach shall be incapable of being cured or, if capable of being cured, shall not have been cured within forty five (45) days after the giving of written notice thereof by the Company or Parent, as applicable, to the other.

The party desiring to terminate this Agreement pursuant to clause (b) of this Section 7.1 shall give written notice of such termination to the other party in accordance with Section 8.3, specifying the provision hereof pursuant to which such termination is effected.

Section 7.2 Effect of Termination.

If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 7.1, this Agreement shall become void and of no effect with no liability or further obligation on the part of any party hereto, except (a) that this Section 7.2, Section 4.3(b) (Confidentiality), Section 7.3 (Fees and Expenses), Article XIII (Miscellaneous) and the agreements contained in the Confidentiality Agreement (to the extent set forth therein), shall survive the termination hereof and (b) that no such termination shall relieve any party of any liability or damages resulting from any willful or intentional breach by that party of its covenants or other obligations under this Agreement to be performed prior to the Closing Date.

Other than as specifically provided in this Section 7.3 or as required by applicable Law, all costs and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be paid by the party incurring such costs or expenses, whether or not the Merger is consummated, except that filing fees payable under or pursuant to the HSR Act shall be paid by Parent whether or not the Merger is consummated.

Section 8.2 Amendments; No Waivers.

(a) Any provision of this Agreement (including the Company Disclosure Letter, the Parent Disclosure Letter and the Exhibits hereto) may be amended or waived prior to the Effective Time, if, and only if, such amendment or waiver is in writing and signed, in the case of an amendment, by the Company, Parent and Merger Subsidiary, or in the case of a waiver, by the party against whom the waiver is to be effective; provided, however, that after the receipt of the Requisite Shareholder Approval, if any such amendment or waiver shall by Law require further approval of the Company Shareholders, the effectiveness of such amendment or waiver shall be subject to the approval of the Company Shareholders.

(b) No failure or delay by any party in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.

Section 8.9 Third Party Beneficiaries.

Except as expressly provided herein, this Agreement is for the sole benefit of the parties and their permitted successors and assigns and nothing herein expressed or implied will give or be construed to give any Person, other than the parties and such permitted successors and assigns, any legal or equitable rights hereunder; provided, however, that the parties hereto specifically acknowledge and agree that, from and after the Closing Date, the provisions of Section 5.8 hereof are intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, all current or former directors and officers of the Company (in all of their capacities) affected thereby.

If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction or other authority to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party. Upon such a determination, the parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.

Section 8.11 Specific Performance.

The parties hereby acknowledge and agree that the failure of any party to perform its agreements and covenants hereunder will cause irreparable injury to the other parties, for which damages, even if available, will not be an adequate remedy. Accordingly, each party hereby consents to the granting of injunctive relief by any court of competent jurisdiction to compel performance of such party’s obligations and to the granting by any court of the remedy of specific performance of its obligations hereunder, without bond or other security being required, this being in addition to any other remedy to which any other party is entitled at law or in equity.
