AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER

Agreement and Plan of Merger (this “Agreement”), dated as of November 8, 2012, among SUN PHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRIES LIMITED, a corporation organized under the laws of India (“Parent”), Caraco Acquisition Corporation, a New Jersey corporation and indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), and DUSA PHARMACEUTICALS, INC., a New Jersey corporation (the “Company”). Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning set forth in Exhibit A attached hereto.

Recitals

WHEREAS, the respective Boards of Directors of Parent, Merger Sub and the Company have approved and declared advisable this Agreement and the Transactions, including the Offer and the Merger, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement;

WHEREAS, in furtherance of the Transactions, (a) Parent has agreed to cause Merger Sub to commence a cash tender offer (as it may be amended from time to time as permitted under this Agreement, the “Offer”) to purchase all the issued and outstanding shares of the common stock, no par value per share (the “Company Common Stock”) of the Company (each a “Share” and collectively, the “Shares”) at a price per Share of $8.00 net to the seller in cash, without interest (such amount, or any higher amount per Share paid pursuant to the Offer in accordance with this Agreement, the “Offer Price”), on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, and (b) the Company has granted to Merger Sub the Top-Up Option;

WHEREAS, following the consummation of the Offer, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Parent shall cause Merger Sub to merge with and into the Company (the “Merger”), with the Company surviving the Merger as an indirect wholly-owned Subsidiary of Parent, in accordance with the New Jersey Business Corporation Act (the “NJBCA”). Each Share that is not tendered and accepted pursuant to the Offer, other than certain Shares as provided in Section 2.5(b) and 2.9, will thereupon be cancelled and converted in the Merger into the right to receive cash in an amount equal to the Offer Price on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein; and

WHEREAS, concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, and as a condition and inducement to Parent entering into this Agreement, certain officers and directors of the Company holding Company Common Stock have entered into a Support Agreement, pursuant to which, among other things, each such holder of Company Common Stock has agreed to tender his or its Shares in the Offer.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and of the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements set forth in this Agreement, the parties hereto agree as follows:

ARTICLE 1.

THE OFFER

Section 1.1. The Offer.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, provided that this Agreement shall not have been terminated in accordance with Article 8 and none of the events set forth in paragraphs 1 and 2 of Annex A hereto shall have occurred, as promptly as reasonably practicable after the date of this Agreement, but in no event later than ten (10) Business Days after the date of this Agreement, Merger Sub shall (and Parent shall cause Merger Sub to) commence the Offer, within the meaning of the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC, to purchase any and all outstanding Shares at a price per Share equal to the Offer Price. The obligations of Merger Sub to, and of Parent to cause Merger Sub to, purchase, accept for payment, and pay for, Shares tendered pursuant to the Offer are subject only to the satisfaction or waiver of each of the conditions set forth in Annex A (the “Offer Conditions”).

(b) The initial expiration date of the Offer shall be on the date that is the twentieth (20th) Business Day following the commencement of the Offer (determined using Exchange Act Rules 14d-1(g)(3) and 14d-2) (such date being the initial “Expiration Date,” and any expiration time and date established pursuant to an authorized extension of the Offer as so extended, also an “Expiration Date”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless the Offer is terminated in accordance with Article 8, if, on the initial Expiration Date or any subsequent Expiration Date, all of the Offer Conditions have not been satisfied or waived, then Merger Sub shall, and Parent shall cause Merger Sub to, subject to the rights of the parties under Article 8, extend (and re-extend) the Offer and its Expiration Date beyond the initial Expiration Date or such subsequent Expiration Date; provided that any such extension shall be in increments determined by Merger Sub of not more than ten (10) Business Days. The Offer may not be terminated prior to its Expiration Date (as such Expiration Date may be extended and re-extended in accordance with this Agreement), unless this Agreement is validly terminated in accordance with Article 8. In no event shall Merger Sub extend the Offer beyond the date that is five (5) Business Days prior to the Walk Away Date without the prior written consent of the Company in its sole discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, subject to the rights of the parties under Article 8, Merger Sub shall extend the Offer, and Parent shall cause Merger Sub to extend the Offer, for any period required by any rule, regulation, interpretation or position of the SEC or the staff thereof applicable to the Offer or any period required by any other Law.

(c) Parent shall provide or cause to be provided to Merger Sub on a timely basis the funds necessary to purchase any Shares that Merger Sub becomes obligated to purchase pursuant to the Offer. Merger Sub shall, and Parent shall cause Merger Sub to, comply with the obligations respecting prompt payment and announcement under the Exchange Act, and, without limiting the foregoing, Merger Sub shall (and Parent shall cause Merger Sub to) accept for payment and pay for all Shares validly tendered and not properly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer as promptly as practicable following the later of: (i) the earliest date as of which Merger Sub is permitted under applicable Law to accept for payment Shares tendered pursuant to the Offer and (ii) the earliest date as of which each of the Offer Conditions shall have been satisfied or waived.

(d) Merger Sub may, in its discretion, elect to provide for a subsequent offering period (and one or more extensions thereof) in accordance with Rule 14d-11 under the Exchange Act (each a “Subsequent Offering Period”) following the Acceptance Time if (i) Merger Sub shall have complied with all of the conditions of Rule 14d-11 under the Exchange Act and (ii) at the commencement of any Subsequent Offering Period (or extension thereof) the number of Shares owned by Parent, Merger Sub and their respective Subsidiaries (including any Shares beneficially owned by any of the foregoing, including all Shares validly tendered and not properly withdrawn at the Acceptance Time) represent less than 90% of the then outstanding number of Shares on a Fully Diluted Basis; provided, however, that if Merger Sub is required to exercise the Top-Up Option and the Company delivers the Top-Up Option Shares upon such exercise pursuant to Section 1.4(c), Merger Sub shall not be permitted to provide for a Subsequent Offering Period. If immediately following the Acceptance Time, Parent, Merger Sub and their respective Subsidiaries own more than 70% but less than 90% of the Shares outstanding on a Fully-Diluted Basis at that time (which shall include (i) Shares beneficially owned by Parent, Merger Sub and their respective Subsidiaries, which Shares shall be converted into direct ownership at or prior to the expiration of the Offer by Parent, Merger Sub or their respective Subsidiaries, as the case may be, and (ii) Shares validly tendered in the Offer and not properly withdrawn at the Acceptance Time), upon the request of the Company (which may only be made once), Merger Sub shall provide for, and Parent shall cause Merger Sub to provide for, a Subsequent Offering Period of at least ten (10) Business Days; provided, however, that if Merger Sub is required to exercise the Top-Up Option and the Company delivers the Top-Up Option Shares upon such exercise pursuant to Section 1.4(c), the Company shall not have the right to request Merger Sub to provide for a Subsequent Offering Period. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and the Offer, Parent shall cause Merger Sub to, and Merger Sub shall, accept for payment and pay for all Shares validly tendered and not properly withdrawn during such Subsequent Offering Period as promptly as practicable after any such Shares are tendered during any Subsequent Offering Period and in any event in compliance with Rule 14d-11(c) promulgated under the Exchange Act.

(e) Parent and Merger Sub expressly reserve the right to waive any of the Offer Conditions, to increase the Offer Price and/or to modify the other terms of the Offer, except that, without the prior written consent of the Company, Merger Sub shall not, and Parent shall not permit Merger Sub to, do any of the following:

(i) reduce the number of Shares subject to the Offer;

(ii) reduce the Offer Price;

(iii) amend, change or waive the Minimum Tender Condition;

(iv) except as expressly provided in Section 1.1(b), extend or otherwise change the Expiration Date, except (A) as required by applicable Law (including for any period required by any rule, regulation, interpretation or position of the SEC or the staff thereof) or (B) in connection with an increase of the Offer Price;

(v) change the form of consideration payable in the Offer;

(vi) impose any condition to the Offer other than the Offer Conditions; or

(vii) otherwise amend, modify or supplement any of the Offer Conditions or the terms of the Offer in any manner adverse to holders of Shares or that would, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to prevent or materially delay the consummation of the Offer or prevent, materially delay or impair the ability of the Parent or Merger Sub to consummate the Offer, the Merger or the Transactions.

(f) On the date of commencement of the Offer, Parent and Merger Sub shall file with the SEC a Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO with respect to the Offer, which Tender Offer Statement shall (i) contain or incorporate by reference an offer to purchase and a related letter of transmittal and summary advertisement and such other information or documents as required by Law (such Schedule TO and the documents included therein pursuant to which the Offer will be made, together with any supplements or amendments thereto, being referred to as the “Offer Documents”) and (ii) be in form reasonably satisfactory to the Company. The Company shall as promptly as practicable upon request of Parent, provide Parent and Merger Sub with all information concerning the Company that is required to be included in the Offer Documents. Parent and Merger Sub shall cause the Offer Documents to comply in all material respects with the requirements of applicable U.S. federal securities Laws and, on the date first filed with the SEC and on the date first published, sent or given to the holders of Shares, not to contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, except that no covenant is made by Parent or Merger Sub with respect to information supplied by the Company in writing specifically for inclusion or incorporation by reference in the Offer Documents. Each of Parent, Merger Sub and the Company shall promptly correct any information provided by it for use in the Offer Documents if and to the extent necessary such that the Offer Documents do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading. Each of Parent and Merger Sub shall take all steps necessary to amend or supplement the Offer Documents and to cause the Offer Documents as so amended or supplemented to be filed with the SEC and disseminated to the holders of Shares, in each case as and to the extent required by applicable U.S. federal securities Laws. The Company and its counsel shall be afforded a reasonable opportunity to review and comment upon the Offer Documents each time before they are filed with the SEC and/or disseminated to holders of Shares (and the Company and its counsel shall provide any comments thereon as soon as reasonably practicable, and Parent and Merger Sub shall give reasonable and good faith consideration to any comments made by the Company and its counsel). Parent and Merger Sub shall provide to the Company and its counsel copies of any written comments or telephonic notification of any oral comments or other communications Parent, Merger Sub or their counsel may receive from the SEC or its staff with respect to the Offer Documents promptly after the receipt of such comments or other communications, shall consult with the Company and its counsel prior to responding to any such comments or other communications, and shall provide the Company with copies of all written responses and telephonic notification of any oral responses thereto of Parent or Merger Sub or their counsel, provided that Parent and Merger Sub shall provide the Company and its counsel a reasonable opportunity to participate in the response

of Parent and Merger Sub to any such comments or other communications and to provide comments on that response (to which reasonable and good faith consideration shall be given by Parent and Merger Sub).

(g) Unless this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 8.1, neither Parent nor Merger Sub shall terminate or withdraw the Offer without the prior written consent of the Company in its sole discretion. In the event this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 8.1A, Merger Sub shall promptly (and in any event within one (1) Business Day) following such termination irrevocably and unconditionally terminate the Offer and shall not acquire any Shares pursuant thereto. If the Offer is terminated in accordance with this Agreement prior to the purchase of Shares in the Offer, Merger Sub shall promptly return, or cause any depositary acting on behalf of Merger Sub to return, all tendered Shares to the tendering shareholders.

(h) The Offer Price shall be adjusted to reflect fully the effect of any reclassification, stock split, reverse split, stock dividend (including any dividend or distribution of securities convertible into Company Common Stock), reorganization, recapitalization or other like change with respect to Company Common Stock effected by the Company in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and, in particular, in accordance with the limitations set forth in Section 5.1(b)(vi), and occurring (or for which a record date is established) after the date of this Agreement and prior to the payment by Merger Sub for the Shares validly tendered and not properly withdrawn in connection with the Offer.

Section 1.2. Company Actions.

(a) Subject to Section 6.8, and without limitation of the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Article 8, the Company hereby approves of and consents to the Offer, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Transactions”).

(b) On the date of the commencement of the Offer, the Company shall file with the SEC a Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9 with respect to the Offer (such Schedule 14D-9, as amended and supplemented from time to time, the “Schedule 14D-9”) and shall use its reasonable best efforts to disseminate the Schedule 14D-9, to the extent required by Rule 14D-9 promulgated under the Exchange Act and any other applicable Laws, to the holders of the Shares. Parent and Merger Sub shall promptly furnish to the Company all information concerning Parent and Merger Sub required by the Exchange Act to be set forth in the Schedule 14D-9. Subject to the provisions of Section 6.8 below, the Offer Documents and the Schedule 14D-9 shall contain the Board Recommendation, and the Company hereby consents to the inclusion in the Offer Documents of such recommendation. The Schedule 14D-9 shall comply in all material respects with the requirements of applicable U.S. federal securities Laws and, on the date first filed with the SEC and on the date first published, sent or given to the Company’s shareholders, shall not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, except that the Company makes no covenant, agreement, representation or warranty with respect to information supplied by Parent or Merger Sub in writing specifically for inclusion in the Schedule 14D-9. Each of the Company, Parent and Merger Sub shall promptly correct any information provided by it for use in the Schedule 14D-9 if and to the extent necessary such that

the Schedule 14D-9 does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading. The Company shall take all steps necessary to amend or supplement the Schedule 14D-9 and to cause the Schedule 14D-9 as so amended or supplemented to be filed with the SEC and disseminated to the holders of Shares, in each case as and to the extent required by applicable U.S. federal securities Laws.

(c) Except in connection with either (i) a Takeover Proposal that the Board of Directors of the Company and/or a special committee of the Board (the “Company Board”) determines in good faith (after consultation with the Company’s outside counsel and financial advisor(s)) constitutes or is reasonably likely to lead to a Superior Proposal or (ii) a Company Adverse Recommendation Change, in each case subject to the provisions of Section 6.8:

(A) Parent and its counsel shall be afforded a reasonable opportunity to review and comment upon the Schedule 14D-9 before it is filed with the SEC and disseminated to holders of Shares; and

(B) The Company shall provide Parent and its counsel copies of any written comments or telephonic notification of any oral comments or other communications the Company or its counsel may receive from the SEC or its staff with respect to the Schedule 14D-9 promptly after the receipt of such comments or other communications, shall consult with Parent and its counsel prior to responding to any such comments or other communications, and shall provide Parent with copies of all written responses and telephonic notification of any oral responses thereto of the Company and its counsel. Parent and its counsel shall be given a reasonable opportunity to review any such responses and the Company shall give reasonable and good faith consideration to any comments made by Parent and its counsel prior to the submission of any such responses.

(d) As promptly as practical after the date hereof, and in any event within four (4) Business Days, the Company shall instruct its transfer agent to furnish Merger Sub promptly with mailing labels containing the names and addresses of the record holders of Shares as of a recent date and of those Persons becoming record holders subsequent to such date, together with copies of all available lists of shareholders, security position listings and computer files and all other information in the Company’s possession or control regarding the beneficial owners of Shares, and shall furnish to Merger Sub such information and assistance (including updated lists of shareholders, security position listings and computer files) as Parent may reasonably request, in each case, for the sole purpose of communicating the Offer to the holders of Shares. Subject to the requirements of applicable Law and except for such steps as are necessary to disseminate the Offer Documents and any other documents necessary to consummate the Offer, the Merger and the Transactions, Parent and Merger Sub shall, until consummation of the Offer, hold in confidence the information contained in any of such labels and lists in accordance with the Confidentiality Agreement, shall use such information only in connection with the Offer, the Merger and the Transactions and, if this Agreement shall be terminated in accordance with Section 8.1, shall deliver to the Company all copies of such information then in their possession or under their control.

Section 1.3. Directors.

(a) Subject to applicable Law and applicable marketplace rules of The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC applicable to the Company at such time, promptly following the acceptance for payment of and payment by Merger Sub for Shares pursuant to and in accordance with the Offer satisfying the Minimum Tender Condition (the “Acceptance Time”), and as long as Parent directly or indirectly beneficially owns not less than a majority of the issued and outstanding Shares, Merger Sub shall be entitled to designate such number of directors on the Company Board as will give Merger Sub representation on the Company Board equal to that number of directors, rounded up to the next whole number, that is the product of (i) the total number of directors on the Company Board (giving effect to the directors elected pursuant to this sentence) multiplied by (ii) the percentage that (A) the number of Shares owned by Parent, Merger Sub or any other Subsidiary of Parent bears to (B) the total number of Shares that are issued and outstanding (not determined on a Fully Diluted Basis). The Company shall also, upon the request of Parent, cause such Persons designated by Merger Sub to constitute at least the same percentage (rounded up to the next whole number) as is on the Company Board of each committee of the Company Board, subject to compliance with applicable securities Laws and the marketplace rules of The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC (other than any committee comprised solely of Continuing Directors established to take action under this Agreement, which shall be permitted to meet without the presence of other directors solely for purposes of considering and, if necessary, taking action referred to in Section 1.3(c) below); provided, however, that in the event that Merger Sub’s designees are appointed or elected to the Company Board, until the Effective Time, the Company Board shall have at least two (2) directors who are directors on the date of this Agreement and who qualify as independent directors for purposes of the continued listing requirements of The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC and the SEC rules and regulations (such directors, the “Continuing Directors”); and provided further that, in such event, if the number of Continuing Directors shall be reduced below two (2) for any reason whatsoever, the Company Board shall cause the Person(s) designated by the remaining Continuing Director(s) to fill such vacancy(ies), and such Person(s) shall be deemed to be a Continuing Director(s) for purposes of this Agreement or, if no Continuing Directors then remain, the other directors of the Company then in office shall designate two (2) Persons to fill such vacancies who are not officers, employees, shareholders or Affiliates of the Company, Parent, Merger Sub or any other Subsidiary of Parent, and such Persons shall be deemed to be Continuing Directors for purposes of this Agreement. In connection with the foregoing, the Company shall either increase the size of the Company Board or obtain the irrevocable resignation of such number of its current directors, or both, as is necessary to enable Merger Sub’s designees to be elected or appointed to the Company Board as provided above, and the Company shall take all actions available to the Company to cause Merger Sub’s designees to be so elected or appointed (the date on which the majority of the Company’s directors are designees of Merger Sub that have been effectively appointed to the Company Board in accordance herewith, the “Board Appointment Date”). The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Board Appointment Date to be the same day as the Acceptance Time. Upon request by Parent, prior to the Acceptance Time, the Company shall obtain the applicable irrevocable resignations from that number of directors which represents one (1) director more than a simple majority of the Company Board, which resignations will each be contingent solely upon the consummation of the Offer, and the Company shall provide to Parent complete and correct copies of such resignations promptly (and in no event later than two (2) Business Days) following the request therefor. The parties hereto

acknowledge and agree that, from and after the Acceptance Time and for so long as Parent, Merger Sub and any Subsidiary of Parent or Merger Sub (excluding the Company) own at least a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company Common Stock, the Company shall be a “controlled company” (within the meaning of the listing requirements of the NASDAQ Global Market).

(b) The Company’s obligations to appoint designees of Merger Sub to the Company Board shall be subject to Section 14(f) of the Exchange Act and Rule 14f-l promulgated thereunder and to the then applicable rules and regulations of The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC. The Company, at its expense, shall promptly take all actions required pursuant to Section 14(f) and Rule 14f-l in order to fulfill its obligations under this Section 1.3, including mailing to the Company’s shareholders the information required by such Section 14(f) and Rule 14f-1 (which the Company shall mail together with the Schedule 14D-9, as contemplated by Section 1.2(b)) as is necessary to fulfill the Company’s obligations under Section 1.3(a); provided, that Parent and Merger Sub shall have timely supplied to the Company in writing, and shall be solely responsible for, any information with respect to Parent, Merger Sub and their designees, officers, directors and Affiliates to the extent required by such Section 14(f) of the Exchange Act and Rule 14f-1 promulgated thereunder. The provisions of Section 1.3(a) are in addition to and shall not limit any rights Parent, Merger Sub or any of their Affiliates may have as a holder or beneficial owner of Shares as a matter of law with respect to the election of directors or otherwise; provided, however, that in no event shall Parent, Merger Sub or any of their Affiliates take any action prior to the Effective Time to remove any Continuing Director from the Company Board other than for cause.

(c) Following the election or appointment of Merger Sub’s designees pursuant to Section 1.3(a) and prior to the Effective Time, the approval by a majority of the Continuing Directors then in office (or, if there shall be only one or two Continuing Directors then in office, all of such Continuing Directors then in office) shall be required to authorize (and such authorization shall (A) not be effective unless there is in office at least one (1) Continuing Director and (B) constitute the authorization of the Company Board, and no other action on the part of the Company, including any action by any committee thereof or any other director of the Company, shall, unless otherwise required by Law, be required or permitted to authorize) (i) any amendment, modification or termination of this Agreement by the Company, (ii) any extension of time for performance of any obligation or action hereunder by Parent or Merger Sub, (iii) any waiver or exercise of any of the Company’s rights under this Agreement, (iv) any waiver of any condition to the Company’s obligations hereunder, (v) any amendment to the Company’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws, (vi) any authorization of any agreement between the Company, on the one hand, and Parent, Merger Sub or any of their Affiliates, on the other hand, or (vii) the taking of any other action by the Company other than what has been agreed to pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or the Transactions. The Continuing Directors shall have the authority to retain such counsel (which may include current counsel to the Company) and other advisors at the expense of the Company as determined by the Continuing Directors and shall have the authority to institute any action on behalf of the Company to enforce performance of this Agreement or any of the Company’s rights hereunder.

(d) The rights of Parent pursuant to this Section 1.3 are in addition to, and shall not limit, any right that Parent, Merger Sub or any Affiliate of Parent or Merger Sub may have (with respect to the election of directors or otherwise) under applicable Law, the Company’s certificate of incorporation or otherwise as a holder or beneficial owner of shares of Company Common Stock.

Section 1.4. Option to Acquire Additional Shares.

(a) The Company hereby grants to Merger Sub an irrevocable option (the “Top-Up Option”), exercisable in accordance with this Section 1.4, to purchase the number of shares of Company Common Stock (the “Top-Up Option Shares”) equal to the number of shares of Company Common Stock that, when added to the number of shares of Company Common Stock owned in the aggregate by Parent, Merger Sub and any Subsidiary of Parent or Merger Sub immediately prior to the exercise of the Top-Up Option (including all Shares validly tendered and not properly withdrawn in the Offer at the Acceptance Time), shall constitute one share more than 90% of the number of shares of Company Common Stock then outstanding on a Fully Diluted Basis and (after giving effect to the issuance of the Top-Up Option Shares) for a purchase price per Top-Up Option Share equal to the Offer Price. The Top-Up Option shall only be exercised one time by Merger Sub in whole but not in part. For avoidance of doubt, (i) the one time exercise means an exercise pursuant to which Top-Up Shares are actually delivered by Company to Merger Sub and (ii) all or any portion of the 60 Million Shares (less the 40,000 shares designated as Company Preferred Stock) issued to Merger Sub pursuant to this Section 1.4 shall be designated Company Common Stock.

(b) In no event shall the Top-Up Option be exercisable for a number of shares of Company Common Stock in excess of the Company’s then authorized and unissued shares of Company Common Stock (including the 60 Million Shares designated as Company Common Stock and less any required shares to be held in reserve with respect to the Options, Restricted Shares and Warrants and including as authorized and unissued shares of Company Common Stock, for purposes of this Section 1.4, any shares of Company Common Stock held in the treasury of the Company).

(c) The Top-Up Option shall be exercised by Merger Sub (and Parent shall cause Merger Sub to exercise the Top-Up Option) immediately after the Acceptance Time or the expiration of any Subsequent Offering Period, as applicable, if (i) at the Acceptance Time or expiration of a Subsequent Offering Period, as applicable, Parent, Merger Sub and any Subsidiary of Parent or Merger Sub do not own in the aggregate at least 90% of the number of shares of Company Common Stock then outstanding on a Fully Diluted Basis and (ii) after giving effect to the exercise of the Top-Up Option, and taking into account the limitations set forth in Section 1.4(b), Parent, Merger Sub and any Subsidiary of Parent or Merger Sub would own in the aggregate at least one share more than 90% of the number of shares of Company Common Stock then outstanding on a Fully Diluted Basis (after giving effect to the issuance of the Top-Up Option Shares); provided, however, that the obligation of the Company to deliver Top-Up Option Shares upon the exercise of the Top-Up Option is subject to the conditions, unless waived by the Company, that (A) no provision of any applicable Law, and no temporary restraining order, preliminary or permanent injunction or other Judgment or order issued by a court of competent jurisdiction or other Governmental Authority of competent jurisdiction, shall prohibit the exercise of the Top-Up Option or the delivery of the Top-Up Option Shares in respect of such exercise, (B) upon exercise of the Top-Up Option, the number of Shares owned

in the aggregate by Parent, Merger Sub and any Subsidiary of Parent or Merger Sub constitutes at least one share more than 90% of the number of shares of Company Common Stock that will be outstanding (on a Fully Diluted Basis) immediately after the issuance of the Top-Up Option Shares, (C) Merger Sub has accepted for payment and paid for all Shares validly tendered in the Offer (including, if applicable, during a Subsequent Offering Period) and not properly withdrawn, and (D) upon exercise of the Top-Up Option, Parent covenants to cause the Closing to occur as promptly as practicable following the issuance of the Top-Up Option Shares; and, provided, further, that the Top-Up Option shall terminate concurrently with any termination of this Agreement.

(d) The parties shall cooperate to ensure that the issuance of the Top-Up Option Shares is accomplished in a manner consistent with all applicable Law, including compliance with an applicable exemption from registration of the Top-Up Option Shares under the Securities Act. If Merger Sub is required to exercise the Top-Up Option, Merger Sub shall give the Company written notice thereof (the “Top-Up Notice”) specifying (i) a place and time for the closing of such purchase (which, subject to applicable Law and any required regulatory approvals, shall be effected as promptly as practicable and not more than one (1) Business Day after the date of delivery of such Top-Up Notice), (ii) the number of shares of Company Common Stock that will constitute the Top-Up Option Shares and (iii) the manner in which Parent or Merger Sub shall pay the applicable purchase price in respect of the Top-Up Option Shares. At the closing of the purchase of the Top-Up Option Shares, (A) the purchase price in respect of the Top-Up Option Shares purchased upon such exercise of the Top-Up Option (which shall equal the product of (x) the number of Top-Up Option Shares being purchased pursuant to the Top-Up Option and (y) the Offer Price) shall be paid to the Company, at Merger Sub’s election, either (I) in immediately available funds by wire transfer to an account designated by the Company or (II) by delivering Parent’s unsecured, non-negotiable, non-transferable promissory note in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C (the “Promissory Note”) in the principal amount equal to the purchase price for the Top-Up Option Shares, and (B) the Company shall deliver to Merger Sub a certificate or certificates representing the number of Top-Up Option Shares so purchased. The Company represents and warrants to Parent and Merger Sub that upon delivery to Merger Sub of the Top-Up Option Shares against payment therefor in accordance herewith, such Top-Up Option Shares shall be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of Company Common Stock.

(e) Parent and Merger 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. Merger Sub agrees that the Top-Up Option and the Top-Up Option Shares to be acquired upon exercise of the Top-Up Option are being and will be acquired by Merger 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. Parent and Merger Sub represent and warrant to the Company that Merger 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 or a sophisticated purchaser under Section 4(2) under the Securities Act. Any certificates evidencing the Top-Up Option Shares shall include any legends required by applicable securities Laws.

(f) To the extent applicable, Parent, Merger Sub and the Company acknowledge and agree that neither any dilutive impact on the value of the Shares of Company Common Stock as a result of the issuance of the Top-Up Shares, nor any effect of any Promissory Note delivered by Parent or Merger Sub to the Company as the Top-Up consideration, shall be taken into account in any determination of the fair value of Shares of any shareholder of the Company for any reason whatsoever or with respect to Shares of any dissenting shareholder to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law. The Surviving Corporation shall not assert that the Top-Up Option, the Top-Up Shares or any cash or Promissory Note delivered to the Company as payment for any Top-Up Shares should be considered in the connection with the determination of the fair value of any Shares for any purpose whatsoever.

ARTICLE 2.

THE MERGER

Section 2.1. The Merger. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and in compliance with the NJBCA, at the Effective Time, Merger Sub shall be merged with and into the Company, the separate existence of Merger Sub shall cease, and the Company shall continue as the surviving corporation.

Section 2.2. Merger Closing.

(a) The Merger shall be consummated (the “Closing”) at 10:00 a.m. (Eastern time) on a date to be specified by the parties, which shall be no later than the third (3rd) Business Day after satisfaction or (to the extent permitted by applicable Law) waiver of the conditions set forth in Article 7 (other than any such conditions that by their nature cannot be satisfied until the Closing Date, which shall be required to be so satisfied or (to the extent permitted by applicable Law) waived on the Closing Date), at the offices of Reed Smith LLP, 599 Lexington Avenue, New York, NY 10022, unless another time, date or place is agreed to in writing by the parties hereto (such date upon which the Closing occurs, the “Closing Date”).

(b) At the Closing, the parties hereto shall cause the Merger to be consummated by causing to be filed with the Department of Treasury of the State of New Jersey a certificate of merger (the “Certificate of Merger”), in such form as required by, and executed in accordance with, the relevant provisions of the NJBCA and shall make all other filings or recordings required under the NJBCA. The Merger shall become effective at such time as the Certificate of Merger is duly filed with the Department of Treasury of the State of New Jersey, or at such later time as Parent and the Company shall agree and specify in the Certificate of Merger (the date and time the Merger becomes effective being the “Effective Time”).

(c) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event that Parent, Merger Sub and their respective Subsidiaries collectively hold or acquire at least 90% of the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock after giving effect to the closing of the Offer

and, if applicable, the purchase by Merger Sub of the Top-Up Shares, Parent and the Company hereby agree to take all necessary and appropriate action to cause the Merger to become effective, without a meeting of the holders of shares of Company Common Stock, in accordance with Section 14A:10-5.1 of the NJBCA as promptly as practicable.

Section 2.3. Effect of Merger; Organizational Documents; Directors and Officers.

(a) The Merger shall have the effects set forth in this Agreement and Section 14A:10-6 of the NJBCA.

(b) The certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation shall at the Effective Time be amended in its entirety to read as set forth on Exhibit B, until thereafter amended as provided therein and under the NJBCA. In addition, subject to Section 6.9 hereof, Parent shall cause the bylaws of the Surviving Corporation to be amended and restated in their entirety so that, immediately following the Effective Time, they are identical to the bylaws of Merger Sub as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, except that all references to the name of Merger Sub therein shall be changed to refer to the name of the Company, and, as so amended and restated, such bylaws shall be the bylaws of the Surviving Corporation, until further amended in accordance with the NJBCA. The directors of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the initial directors of the Surviving Corporation and shall serve until the earlier of their resignation or removal or their respective successors are duly elected or appointed and qualified, as the case may be. The officers of the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the initial officers of the Surviving Corporation and shall serve until the earlier of their resignation or removal or until their respective successors have been duly elected or appointed and qualified, as the case may be.

Section 2.4. Conversion of Merger Sub Capital Stock. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or any holder of shares of Merger Sub capital stock, each share of Merger Sub capital stock shall be converted into and become one fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock, no par value, of the Surviving Corporation.

Section 2.5. Conversion of Shares. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or any holder of Shares the following shall occur:

(a) Each Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than (i) any Shares to be canceled pursuant to Section 2.5(b)) shall at the Effective Time be canceled and converted automatically into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to the Offer Price, without interest (the “Merger Consideration”). As of the Effective Time, all such Shares shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and shall cease to exist, and each holder of a certificate previously representing any such Shares shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the Merger Consideration upon surrender of such certificate in accordance with Section 2.6, without interest.

(b) Each Share held in the treasury of the Company and each Share owned by Merger Sub, Parent or any direct or indirect Subsidiary of Parent or of the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be cancelled automatically and retired and shall cease to exist and no payment or distribution shall be made with respect thereto.

(c) The Merger Consideration shall be adjusted to reflect fully the effect of any reclassification, stock split, reverse split, stock dividend (including any dividend or distribution of securities convertible into Company Common Stock), reorganization, recapitalization or other like change with respect to Company Common Stock occurring (or for which a record date is established) after the date hereof and prior to the Effective Time effected by the Company in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and, in particular, in accordance with the limitations set forth in Section 5.1(b)(vi).

Section 2.6. Exchange of Certificates.

(a) Exchange Agent. Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall enter into an agreement with the Company’s transfer agent or another bank or trust company selected by Parent and approved in advance by the Company (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed, or conditioned) (the “Exchange Agent”), which shall provide for the payment of Merger Consideration in accordance with the terms of this Article 2. Parent shall, or shall take all steps necessary to enable and cause Merger Sub to, deposit with the Exchange Agent at or prior to the Effective Time, for the benefit of the holders of Shares outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, for payment by the Exchange Agent in accordance with this Article 2, the cash in U.S. dollars necessary to pay for the Shares converted into the right to receive Merger Consideration (the “Exchange Fund”). The Exchange Fund shall not be used for any other purpose. The Exchange Fund shall, pending its disbursement to such holders, be invested by the Exchange Agent as directed by Parent; provided further, however, that no gain or loss thereon shall affect the amounts payable to holders of Shares following the Effective Time and Parent shall take all actions necessary to ensure that the Exchange Fund includes at all times cash in U.S. dollars sufficient to satisfy Parent’s obligation under this Article 2. Any interest or income produced (net of any loss) by such amounts on deposit with the Exchange Agent will be payable to Parent or as Parent otherwise directs. In the event of any losses to the Exchange Fund from any investment such that the Exchange Fund is diminished below the level required for the Exchange Agent to make prompt cash payments as required under Section 2.7(b), Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, immediately deposit additional cash into the Exchange Fund to the extent necessary to reimburse the Exchange Fund for any such investment losses.

(b) Exchange Procedures. As soon as reasonably practicable (and in any event within five (5) Business Days) after the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Exchange Agent to mail to each Person who was a holder of record of Shares immediately prior to the Effective Time, whose Shares were converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.5, (i) the form of letter of transmittal for use in effecting the surrender of stock certificates that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented Shares (each, a “Certificate”) or non-certificated Shares represented by Book-Entry (“Book-Entry Shares”) (which transmittal letter shall be in customary form approved by the Company and shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of the Certificates to the Exchange Agent) and (ii) instructions for use in surrendering

the Certificates or Book-Entry Shares in exchange for the Merger Consideration. Upon surrender of a Certificate or a Book-Entry Share 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, the holder of such Certificate or Book-Entry Share shall be paid promptly (net of applicable taxes in accordance with Section 2.8) in exchange therefor, and Parent shall cause the Exchange Agent to pay to such holder (except holders of Restricted Shares who shall be paid as set forth in Section 2.7(d)), the Merger Consideration in respect of the Shares previously represented by such Certificate or Book-Entry Share, and the Certificate or Book-Entry Shares so surrendered shall forthwith be canceled. In the event of a transfer of ownership of Shares that is not registered in the transfer records of the Company, payment 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 payment 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. Each Certificate and Book-Entry Share shall be deemed at all times from and after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive upon surrender in accordance with this Section 2.6 the Merger Consideration in respect of the Shares previously represented by such Certificate or Book-Entry Share. No interest shall be paid or shall accrue on any cash payable to holders of Certificates or Book Entry Shares pursuant to the provisions of this Article 2.

(c) No Further Ownership Rights in Shares. The Merger Consideration paid upon the surrender for exchange of Certificates and Book Entry Shares in accordance with the terms of this Article 2 shall be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to the Shares previously represented by such Certificates and Book Entry Shares. From and after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall not permit any further registration of transfers on the stock transfer books of the Company of the Shares that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates or Book Entry Shares are presented to the Surviving Corporation or the Exchange Agent for any reason, they shall be canceled and exchanged as provided in this Article 2, except as otherwise provided by Law.

(d) Termination of Exchange Fund. Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains undistributed to the holders of Shares for 180 days after the Effective Time shall be delivered to the Surviving Corporation, upon demand, and any holders of Certificates or Book Entry Shares who have not theretofore complied with this Article 2 shall thereafter only be entitled to receive from the Surviving Corporation (subject to abandoned property, escheat or similar Laws, as general creditors thereof) payment of their claim for Merger Consideration. Any amounts remaining unclaimed immediately prior to such time when such amounts would otherwise escheat or become the property of any Governmental Authority, shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, become the property of the Surviving Corporation, free and clear of all claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.

(e) No Liability. Except to the extent prohibited by applicable Law, none of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company, the Surviving Corporation or the Exchange Agent shall be liable to any holder of a Certificate for any Merger Consideration delivered in respect of such Certificate to a public official pursuant to any abandoned property, escheat or other similar Law.

(f) Lost Certificates. If any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if requested by Parent or the Exchange Agent, the posting by such Person of a bond in such reasonable amount as Parent or the Exchange Agent may direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, the Exchange Agent shall issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate the applicable Merger Consideration with respect thereto pursuant to this Agreement.

Section 2.7. Equity-Based Compensation Plans and Awards.

(a) Prior to the Acceptance Time, the Company shall take all reasonable steps necessary to provide that each Option, whether vested or unvested, that is outstanding immediately prior to the Acceptance Time shall become fully vested immediately prior to the Acceptance Time, and be cancelled as of the Acceptance Time (without regard to the exercise price of such Option) in exchange for the right to receive at such time, in accordance with this Section 2.7(a), a lump sum cash payment in the amount of the Option Consideration (net of applicable taxes in accordance with Section 2.8), if any, with respect to such Option. In the event that the exercise price of any Option is equal to or greater than the Offer Price, such Option shall be cancelled, without any consideration being payable in respect thereof, and have no further force or effect. Following the Acceptance Time, no Option shall remain outstanding and all holders of an Option that was outstanding immediately prior to the Acceptance Time shall only be entitled to receive the consideration set forth in this Section 2.7(a). The Company shall pay any amounts payable to holders of Options as promptly as practicable after the Acceptance Time, and in no event later than the first regular payroll cycle following the Acceptance Time.

(b) Effective as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, each Restricted Share that is then outstanding and unvested shall immediately vest and become nonforfeitable, all restrictions and conditions applicable thereto shall lapse immediately prior to the Effective Time, and each Restricted Share shall be treated in the same manner as each other share of Company Common Stock in the Merger in accordance with the procedures in Section 2.6(b). Following the Effective Time, no Restricted Share shall remain outstanding and all holders of a Restricted Share that was outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall only be entitled to receive the consideration set forth in Section 2.7(b).

(c) Prior to the Acceptance Time, the Company shall deliver to the holders of Options such notices, if any, as may be required under the terms of the Stock Plan setting forth such holders’ rights pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2.7. Prior to the Acceptance Time, the Company Board (or, if appropriate, any committee thereof administrating the Stock Plan) shall adopt such resolutions as may be required to effectuate the provisions of this Section 2.7.

(d) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 2.7 to the contrary, any portion of the consideration payable in respect of Restricted Shares that become vested by reason of the consummation of the Transactions shall be paid to the Surviving Corporation for distribution to the applicable holder thereof through its payroll system.

Section 2.8. Withholding Rights. The Company, Parent, Merger Sub, the Surviving Corporation and the Exchange Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the

consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement, whether to any holder of Shares or pursuant to Section 2.7(a), such amounts as the Company, Parent, Merger Sub or the Surviving Corporation is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code, or any provision of state, local or foreign Tax law. To the extent that such amounts are so withheld by the Company, Parent, Merger Sub or the Surviving Corporation, such withheld and deducted amounts will be paid to the applicable Governmental Authority and treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holders of Shares, Options and Restricted Shares, as the case may be, in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made by the Company, Parent, Merger Sub or the Surviving Corporation.

Section 2.9. Warrants. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall deliver to the holders of Warrants such notices, if any, as may be required under the terms of the Warrants and Securities Purchase Agreement dated October 29, 2007. Each of the Warrants shall be treated in accordance with Section 3(e) thereof, and Parent, Merger Sub and the Surviving Corporation shall comply with Section 3(e) of the Warrants.

Section 2.10. Further Action. If, at any time after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall consider or be advised that any further deeds, assignments or assurances in law or any other acts are necessary or desirable to (a) vest, perfect or confirm, of record or otherwise, in the Surviving Corporation its right, title or interest in, to or under any of the rights, properties or assets of the Company or (b) otherwise carry out the provisions of this Agreement, the Company and its officers and directors shall be deemed to have granted to the Surviving Corporation an irrevocable power of attorney to execute and deliver all such deeds, assignments or assurances in law and to take all acts necessary, proper or desirable to vest, perfect or confirm title to and possession of such rights, properties or assets in the Surviving Corporation and otherwise to carry out the provisions of this Agreement, and the officers and directors of the Surviving Corporation are authorized in the name of the Company or otherwise to take any and all such action.

(d) All buildings, structures, fixtures, building systems and equipment included in the Leased Real Property (the “Structures”) are in good condition and repair and sufficient for the operation of the business of the Company or the applicable Company Subsidiary as presently conducted, except where the failure of the foregoing to be true and correct, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be likely to have a Company Material Adverse Effect.

ARTICLE 6.

ADDITIONAL AGREEMENTS

Section 6.1. Preparation of Proxy Statement; Shareholders Meetings.

(a) After the Acceptance Time and the expiration of any Subsequent Offering Period, if Parent does not then beneficially own sufficient Shares on a Fully Diluted Basis to effect a merger not requiring the approval of the shareholders of the Company pursuant to the NJBCA, the Company shall, as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter, prepare and file with the SEC the Proxy Statement in preliminary form, and each of the Company and Parent shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to respond as promptly as reasonably practicable to any comments of the SEC and its staff with respect thereto.

replies to comments prior to their being filed with, or sent to, the SEC.

The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Proxy Statement and all required amendments and supplements thereto to be mailed to the holders of Shares as promptly as reasonably practicable after filing the Proxy Statement with the SEC and resolution of any comments thereon from and clearance by the SEC or its staff.

(b) After the Acceptance Time and the expiration of any Subsequent Offering Period, if Parent does not then beneficially own sufficient Shares on a Fully Diluted to effect a merger not requiring the approval of the shareholders of the Company pursuant to the NJBCA, the Company shall, as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter, duly call, give notice of, convene and hold a meeting of its shareholders (the “Company Shareholders Meeting”) for the purpose of seeking the Required Company Shareholder Vote. The Company Board shall recommend adoption of this Agreement (the “Company Voting Proposal”) by the shareholders of the Company and include such recommendation in the Proxy Statement.

(c) At the Company Shareholders Meeting, Parent shall cause all Shares purchased pursuant to the Offer and all other Shares beneficially owned by Parent, Merger Sub or any Parent Subsidiary, and shall use its best efforts to cause any Shares beneficially owned by any non-controlled Affiliate of Parent, to be present so as to be counted for quorum purposes and voted in favor of the Company Voting Proposal.

(d) Notwithstanding anything contained in the Agreement to the contrary, if following the Acceptance Time Merger Sub is not obligated to exercise the Top-Up Option and the Company prepares the proxy materials pursuant to Section 6.1(a), or calls the Company Shareholders Meeting pursuant to Section 6.1(b), and Merger Sub thereafter, if permitted by applicable Law, acquires additional Shares, which together with the Shares acquired by Merger Sub in the Offer represent a number of Shares that, if acquired prior to the Acceptance Time would have obligated Merger Sub to exercise the Top-Up Option, and Merger Sub exercises the Top-Up Option and the Company delivers the Top-Up Option Shares pursuant to Section 1.4(c), the Company shall, as applicable, take all steps necessary to terminate and/or withdraw the filings of its proxy materials with respect to the Company Shareholders Meeting and cancel the Company Shareholders Meeting.

Section 6.2. Employee Benefits Matters.

(a) During the period commencing on the date of the Acceptance Time and ending on the first anniversary of the Closing Date, Parent will provide, or cause to be provided, to each Company Employee (i) a base salary or hourly wage rate, and a total annual compensation opportunity, which is at least equal to such Company Employee’s base salary or hourly wage rate and total annual compensation opportunity (including any cash bonuses)

immediately before the Acceptance Time and (ii) the opportunity to participate in employee benefit plans, programs and policies which provide benefits that are at least comparable in the aggregate to the benefits provided to such Company Employee under the Employee Benefit Plans sponsored by the Company immediately before the Acceptance Time (excluding equity based benefit plan programs or policies). For purposes of this Agreement, “Company Employee” means any Person who is an employee of the Company immediately prior to the Acceptance Time.

(b) Parent will grant, or will cause to be granted, full credit to each Company Employee for (i) his or her employment with the Company prior to the Acceptance Time for purposes of satisfying any service requirement to participate in any employee benefit plan, program or policy of Parent or its Subsidiaries (including the Company), vesting in any benefit under any such plan, program or policy and for calculating his or her level of benefits with respect to severance, vacations, personal days off and any other welfare-type benefits (expressly excluding any defined benefit pension plan) where service is a factor in calculating the level of benefits except where such credit would result in a duplication in benefits, and (ii) any payments made by such employee or any of his or her dependents under any Employee Benefit Plan for the plan year for such plan which includes the Acceptance Time for which he or she was eligible to receive credit under such plan towards satisfying any applicable deductibles and annual out-of-pocket expense requirements.

(c) Any employee benefit plan, program or policy of Parent or its Subsidiaries (including the Company) shall not impose any pre-existing conditions, exclusions, waiting periods or “actively at work” requirements with respect to any Company Employee, except to the extent such requirements would have been imposed under the Employee Benefit Plans and have not already been satisfied.

(d) Parent will honor, or cause to be honored, any and all obligations which the Company has at the Acceptance Time under any Employee Benefit Plans (including any employment, bonus or similar agreements between the Company and a Company Employee (excluding any equity based obligations)) to any employee or former employee of the Company or any dependents of any such employee or former employee.

(e) Nothing in this Agreement shall modify or amend any Employee Benefit Plan of the Company or other agreement, plan, program, or document unless this Agreement explicitly states that the provision “amends” such Employee Benefit Plan of the Company or other agreement, plan, program, or document. Nothing in this Section 6.2 shall obligate Parent to, or cause the Surviving Corporation to employ any Person for any period of time after the Effective Time, and this Section 6.2 shall not be construed to limit the ability of Parent to alter the terms and conditions of, or terminate, the employment of any Person (other than as provided expressly in this Section 6.2). Without limiting the generality of Section 9.7(b), nothing in this Section 6.2 shall be construed as giving any Person (including any Company Employee or dependent or beneficiary thereof) any right, remedy or claim under or in respect of this Section 6.2.

Section 6.3. Antitrust Filings.

(a) The Company, Parent and Merger Sub shall each, as promptly as reasonably practicable after the date of this Agreement (but in no event later than ten (10) Business Days after the date hereof), file or cause to be filed with the Federal Trade Commission (the “FTC”), the United States Department of Justice (the “DOJ”) and any comparable non-United States antitrust or competition authority any notifications required to be filed under the HSR Act or comparable foreign Antitrust Laws with respect to the Transactions. Parent and Company shall split the filing fee payable to the FTC in connection with the filing of the notification.

(b) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Company, Parent and Merger Sub shall cooperate with each other and use their respective reasonable best efforts to take or cause to be taken all actions and to do or cause to be done all things, reasonably necessary, proper or advisable on its part under this Agreement and applicable Laws to obtain as promptly as practicable all consents, registrations, approvals, permits, and authorizations necessary or advisable to be obtained from any antitrust or competition authority in order to consummate the Transactions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement, including this clause (b), shall require, or be construed to require, Parent to proffer to, or agree to, sell, divest, lease, license transfer, dispose of or otherwise encumber or hold separate and agree to sell, divest, lease, license, transfer, dispose of or otherwise encumber before or after the Effective Time, any assets, licenses, operations, rights, product lines, business or interest therein of Parent, or to agree to any changes (including through a licensing arrangement) or restriction on, or other impairment of Parent’s ability to own or operate, any such assets, licenses, operations, rights, product lines, business or interests therein or Parent’s ability to vote, transfer, receive dividends or otherwise exercise full ownership rights with respect to the stock of the surviving company (any of the foregoing, “Detriments”); provided, however, that Parent’s “reasonable best efforts” obligation shall require Parent to sell, license or otherwise dispose of (or agree to sell, license or otherwise dispose of), businesses or assets of Parent that in the aggregate produced net revenues in an amount not in excess of $25,000,000 for Parent during the 2011 fiscal year calculated in accordance with GAAP, on a basis consistent with the accounting principles used in preparing their respective 2011 audited financial statements as filed with the SEC (provided that (x) in the case of businesses or assets that were acquired during the 2011 fiscal year, the net revenues with respect to the business or assets that were so acquired shall include the net revenues produced by the transferee in the 2011 fiscal year prior to such acquisition, (y) with respect to a product that was introduced in the 2011 fiscal year or the 2012 fiscal year, aggregate produced net revenues for purposes of this calculation shall mean such amounts projected in the most recent regularly prepared budget for the fiscal year following the year in which the product launches and (z) in the case of businesses or assets that were acquired during the 2012 fiscal year, the net revenues with respect to the businesses or assets that were so acquired shall include net revenues for the 2011 calendar year as reflected on the most recent regularly prepared audited financial statements of the transferee, calculated in accordance with GAAP). Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, Parent shall not be required to agree to any such dispositions (and shall be entitled in good faith to contest any threatened or pending litigation or proceeding brought by any Governmental Authority) unless the failure to do so would result in the closing conditions not being met hereunder prior to the earlier of (1) the termination of this Agreement and (2) the Walk Away Date.

Section 6.4. Public Statements. The parties shall issue a joint press release, mutually acceptable to the Company and Parent, promptly upon execution and delivery of this Agreement. Subject to Section 6.8 and until the Board Appointment Date, the Company and Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to consult with each other prior to issuing, and to provide each other with the opportunity to review and comment upon, any public announcement, statement or other disclosure with respect to this Agreement or the Transactions, except as may be required by Law or court process or any listing agreement with or rules of a national securities exchange or trading market or by the request of any Governmental Authority; provided, however, that these restrictions shall not apply to any Company communications regarding (a) a Company Adverse Recommendation Change or (b) the matters referred to in Section 6.8 hereof. In addition, nothing contained herein shall limit the ability of any party to commence litigation or file any pleadings in respect thereof without complying with the terms set forth in this Section 6.4.

Section 6.5. Standard of Efforts. Except as otherwise specified herein (including Section 6.3), each of the Company, Parent and Merger Sub agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken (and Parent shall cause Merger Sub to take or cause to be taken), all action, and to do, or cause to be done, and to assist and cooperate with the other parties in doing, all things necessary, proper or advisable to consummate and make effective in the most expeditious manner practicable, the Offer, the Merger and the Transactions, including (a) obtaining all consents, approvals, authorizations and actions or nonactions required for the consummation by the parties hereto of the Offer, the Merger and the Transactions (including any required or necessary action to obtain approval or waiver from, or to avoid an action or proceeding by, a Governmental Authority), (b) the taking of all reasonable steps as may be necessary to obtain an approval or waiver from, or to avoid an action or proceeding by, a Governmental Authority (c) the obtaining of all necessary consents from third parties to Company Material Contracts and (d) the execution and delivery of any additional instruments necessary to consummate the Transactions and to fully carry out the purposes of this Agreement; provided, however, that in no event shall the Company or Parent be required to pay prior to the Board Appointment Date any fee, penalties or other consideration to any Third Party to obtain any consent or approval required for the consummation of the Offer or the Merger. The Company, Parent and Merger Sub agree that they shall consult with each other with respect to the obtaining of all such necessary permits, consents, approvals and authorizations of all Third Parties and Governmental Authorities.

Section 6.6. Notification of Certain Matters. Except as prohibited by applicable Law, the Company shall give prompt notice to Parent, and Parent shall give prompt notice to the Company, of (i) any notice or other communication received by such party from any Governmental Authority in connection with the Transactions or from any Person alleging that the consent of such Person is or may be required in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, if the subject matter of such communication or the failure of such party to obtain such consent could be material to the Company, the Surviving Corporation or Parent and (ii) any actions, suits, claims, investigations or proceedings commenced or, to such party’s knowledge, threatened against, relating to or involving or otherwise affecting such party or any of its Subsidiaries which relate to the Transactions.

(a) Prior to the Board Appointment Time, the Company shall afford, and shall cause the officers, directors and employees of the Company to afford, the officers, employees and agents of Parent and Merger Sub reasonable access during normal business hours upon reasonable written notice and in a manner that does not unreasonably disrupt or interfere with business operations, to the Company’s properties, facilities, books and records and other assets as Parent shall reasonably request, and shall promptly furnish Parent and Merger Sub all other information concerning its business, properties and personnel, in each case (A) as Parent through its officers, employees or agents may reasonably request, (B) that are in the possession, custody or control of the Company, and (C) the disclosure of which would not violate any Law, cause to be waived the attorney client privilege, work product doctrine or other applicable privilege, result in the disclosure of any trade secrets of third parties or violate any obligation of the Company with respect to confidentiality; provided, however, that subject to the Company’s obligations pursuant to Section 6.8, the Company shall have no obligation pursuant to this Section 6.7 regarding any communications, information or other materials regarding either (a) a Takeover Proposal that the Company Board determines in good faith (after consultation with the Company’s outside counsel and financial advisor) constitutes or could reasonably be expected to lead to a Superior Proposal, or (b) a Company Adverse Recommendation Change. Parent, Merger Sub and their respective officers, employees and agents will hold any such information that is non-public in confidence in accordance with the Confidentiality Agreement.

(b) Until the Board Appointment Time, the provisions of the Confidentiality Agreement dated May 11, 2012 between Parent and the Company (the “Confidentiality Agreement”) shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with its terms.

Section 6.8. No Solicitation of Transactions.

(a) Except as permitted by this Section 6.8, the Company and each of the Company Subsidiaries shall, and the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause its or any of the Company Subsidiaries’ Representatives to, immediately cease and cause to be terminated any existing activities, discussions or negotiations with any Person or its Representatives conducted heretofore with respect to any Takeover Proposal until such time, if any, as this Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms. To the extent provided in the terms of the applicable confidentiality agreement between such Person and the Company, the Company shall promptly request that each Person, if any, that has executed a confidentiality agreement within the six-month period prior to the date hereof in connection with its consideration of any Takeover Proposal return or destroy all confidential information heretofore furnished to such Person by or on behalf of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (and all analyses and other materials prepared by or on behalf of such person that contains, reflects or analyzes that information) and that such Person provide a certificate of such return or destruction to the Company.

(b) From the date hereof until the Acceptance Time or the earlier termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, the Company and its Subsidiaries shall not, and the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause its or any of its Subsidiaries’ Representatives not to, directly or indirectly, (i) initiate, solicit or take any action to knowingly

facilitate or knowingly encourage the submission of a Takeover Proposal, (ii) enter into, engage or participate in any discussions or negotiations with any Person concerning a Takeover Proposal or the making of a Takeover Proposal, or (iii) furnish any confidential information relating to the Company or its Subsidiaries to, or otherwise cooperate with, assist, facilitate or encourage any effort, by any Person in connection with a Takeover Proposal or inquiries regarding a Takeover Proposal or the making of a Takeover Proposal. The Company agrees that any violation of the restrictions on the Company set forth in this Section 6.8 by any officer, director, employee or manager of the Company or any of its Company Subsidiaries shall be a breach of this Section by the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.8(b), or any other provision of this Agreement, prior to the Acceptance Time, the Company may take the actions set forth in clauses (ii) and (iii) of this Section 6.8(b) to or with any Person that has made a bona fide unsolicited Takeover Proposal if, and only to the extent that: (A) the Company Board, after consulting with the Company’s outside legal and financial advisors, have determined in good faith that such Takeover Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal or is reasonably expected to result in a Superior Proposal; (B) such Takeover Proposal is not the result of a breach by the Company or its Company Subsidiaries of this Section 6.8; and (C) prior to furnishing such information or engaging in discussions or negotiations, the Company receives from such Person an executed confidentiality agreement (a copy of which shall be provided to Parent) on terms no less favorable to the Company than those contained in the Confidentiality Agreement (provided that the Company shall be permitted to furnish information to Parent as provided in this Section 6.8), as determined by counsel to the Company, and all such information provided or made available to such Person (to the extent that such information has not been previously provided or made available to Parent or is otherwise not publicly available) is provided or made available to Parent (including by posting such information in a virtual data room accessible to Parent), as the case may be, at or promptly following (but in any case within one (1) Business Day) the time it is provided or made available to such other Person; provided, however, that the Company may, without breaching, or being deemed to breach, this Section 6.8, (1) enter into negotiations solely with respect to entering into such confidentiality agreement with a Person who has made a bona fide, unsolicited Takeover Proposal, or (2) contact any Person that has made a Takeover Proposal, which was not made in violation of this Section 6.8, to clarify the terms of such Takeover Proposal.

(c) From the date hereof until the Acceptance Time or the earlier termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, the Company shall notify Parent in writing within two (2) Business Days following receipt by the Company of any Takeover Proposal, any inquiry with respect to a Takeover Proposal, or request for access to information or the properties, books or records of the Company or any Company Subsidiary by any Person that informs the Company or such Company Subsidiary that it is considering making, or has made, a Takeover Proposal. The written notice shall include all material terms and conditions of the Takeover Proposal or such inquiry or request (including the identity of the Person making such Takeover Proposal, inquiry or request), and, if in writing, shall include a copy of such Takeover Proposal, inquiry or request. The Company shall keep Parent reasonably apprised of any material modification of or amendment to such Takeover Proposal, inquiry or request and of any developments, discussions and negotiations with respect to such Takeover Proposal, inquiry or request. The Company shall provide Parent as soon as reasonably practicable (but in no event later than two (2) Business Days) after receipt thereof with copies of all correspondence and other written material sent or provided to the Company from any Person in connection with such Takeover Proposal, inquiry or request.

(d) From the date hereof until the Acceptance Time or the earlier termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, the Company Board shall not (i) approve or recommend, or fail to recommend rejection of, any Takeover Proposal, (ii) fail to make, withdraw, modify or amend in any manner adverse to Parent or Merger Sub (or publicly propose to withdraw, modify or amend in a manner adverse to Parent or Merger Sub) the Board Recommendation, or otherwise take any action or make any public statement inconsistent with, the Board Recommendation (any of the foregoing in clause (i) of this Section 6.8(d) of this clause (ii), a “Company Adverse Recommendation Change”), or (iii) cause or permit the Company to enter into any letter of intent, agreement in principle, term sheet, acquisition agreement, option agreement or similar agreement with respect to any Takeover Proposal (other than the confidentiality agreement provided for in Section 6.8(b)), (iv) grant any waiver or release under any standstill or similar agreement with respect to any class of equity securities of the Company or any of its Company Subsidiaries, or (v) take any action to render the restrictions on business combinations set forth in Section 14A of the NJBCA inapplicable to any transaction (other than the Transactions). Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.8(d), the Company Board may (1) make a Company Adverse Recommendation Change or take the actions described in (iv) or (v) above if the Company Board has concluded in good faith, after consultation with the Company’s outside financial and legal advisors, that failure of the Company Board to effect such Company Adverse Recommendation Change or take such action could be reasonably likely to be inconsistent with the Company Board’s fiduciary duties under applicable Law, or (2) terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1A(d) if the Company Board, after consulting with the Company’s outside legal and financial advisors, has determined in good faith that such Takeover Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal or is reasonably expected to result in a Superior Proposal and that the failure to take such action could be reasonably likely to be inconsistent with the Company Board’s fiduciary duties under applicable Law.

(e) The Company Board shall not make a Company Adverse Recommendation Change or cause the Company to exercise its right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1A(d) unless; (i) the Company promptly (i.e., within one (1) Business Day) after a meeting of the Company Board provides written notice (“Notice of Adverse Recommendation”) advising Parent that the Company Board intends to take any such action and specifying the reasons therefor, including, if applicable, (A) the material terms and conditions of a Superior Proposal, (B) the identity of the Person making such Superior Proposal and (C) the terms and conditions of any proposed agreement relating to such Superior Proposal; (ii) during a period commencing on the date that the Notice of Adverse Recommendation is deemed to be received by Parent in accordance with Section 9.1 and ending at 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on the third (3^rd) Business Day thereafter (such three Business Day period, the “Notice Period”), the Company supplies all information reasonably requested by Parent, otherwise cooperates and negotiates with Parent in good faith to make such adjustments to the terms and conditions of this Agreement as would enable the Company to proceed with the Board Recommendation and not make such Company Adverse Recommendation Change or so that such Takeover Proposal is no longer determined to be a Superior Proposal by the Company Board; (iii) following expiration of the Notice Period, the Company Board, after consultation with the Company’s outside financial

and legal advisors, determine in good faith (after taking into account any adjustments to the terms and conditions of this Agreement) that failure of the Company Board to effect such Company Adverse Recommendation Change could be reasonably likely to be inconsistent with the Company Board’s fiduciary duties under applicable Law; and (iv) the Company has paid to Parent the fee described in Section 8.3. Any material modification to the terms and conditions of a Superior Proposal, if any, or a proposed agreement, if any, relating to such Superior Proposal from those described in a Notice of Adverse Recommendation shall require the Company to deliver a new Notice of Adverse Recommendation and shall trigger a new Notice Period commencing on the date that the new Notice of Adverse Recommendation is deemed received by Parent pursuant to Section 9.1.

(f) Nothing contained in this Agreement shall prohibit the Company or the Company Board, directly or indirectly through its Representatives, from (i) taking and disclosing to the Company’s shareholders a position with respect to a tender or exchange offer by a Third Party pursuant to Rule 14d-9, Rule 14e-2 or Item 1012(a) of Regulation M-A promulgated under the Exchange Act (or any similar communication to the Company’s shareholders), or (ii) making any “stop, look and listen” communication to the Company’s shareholders pursuant to Rule 14d-9(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act (or any similar communication to the Company’s shareholders) if the Company Board has determined in good faith, after consultation with legal counsel, that the failure to do so could reasonably be likely to be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law.

Section 6.9. Indemnification and Insurance.

(a) Parent and Merger Sub agree that all rights to advancement of expenses, indemnification and exculpation by the Company now existing in favor of each Person who is now, or has been at any time prior to the date of this Agreement or who becomes prior to the Effective Time, an officer or director of the Company (each, together with such Person’s heirs, executors or administrators, an “Indemnified Party”) as provided in the Company’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws, in each case as in effect on the date of this Agreement, or pursuant to any other agreements in effect on the date of this Agreement, shall survive the Merger from the Effective Time through the sixth (6th) anniversary of the date on which the Effective Time occurs.

(b) From and after the Acceptance Time, the Surviving Corporation shall, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law, indemnify, defend and hold harmless (and advance funds in respect of each of the foregoing) each Indemnified Party against any costs or expenses (including advancing reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses in advance of the final disposition of any claim, suit, proceeding or investigation to each Indemnified Party to the fullest extent permitted by Law), 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 occurring or alleged to have occurred whether before or after the Acceptance Time in connection with such Indemnified Party serving as an officer, director, employee or other fiduciary of the Company or any entity if such service was at the request or for the benefit of the Company.

(c) Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation, as of the Effective Time, to cause the individuals who have served as officers and directors of the Company prior to the Effective Time who are then covered by the directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy currently maintained by the Company (the “D&O Insurance”), to be covered under a directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy on terms and conditions no less advantageous to such individuals than the Company’s existing directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy, for a period of not less than six (6) years after the Effective Time, but only to the extent related to actions or omissions of such officers and directors at or prior to the Effective Time (including in respect of this Agreement and the Transactions) in their capacities as such, whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the Effective Time; provided, that in no event shall the Surviving Corporation be required to expend more than an amount per year equal to 200% of current annual premiums paid by the Company for such insurance (the “Maximum Amount”) to maintain or procure insurance coverage pursuant hereto; provided, further, that if the amount of the annual premiums necessary to maintain or procure such insurance coverage exceeds the Maximum Amount, the Surviving Corporation shall procure and maintain for such six (6) year period as much coverage as is available for the Maximum Amount. Parent shall have the right to cause coverage to be extended under the D&O Insurance by causing the Surviving Corporation to obtain a six (6) year “tail” policy on terms and conditions no less advantageous to such former directors or officers than the D&O Insurance, and such “tail” policy shall satisfy the provisions of this Section 6.9(c). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company may, prior to the Effective Time, purchase a so-called “Reporting Tail Endorsement,” provided that the Company does not pay more than six (6) times the Maximum Amount for such Reporting Tail Endorsement, in which case, provided that Parent causes the Surviving Corporation to maintain such Reporting Tail Endorsement in full force and effect for its full term, Parent shall be relieved from its obligations under this Section 6.9(c).

(d) If Parent or the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or Surviving Corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Parent or the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, shall assume the obligations set forth in this Section 6.9.

(e) The obligations of Parent and the Surviving Corporation under this Section 6.9 shall survive the consummation of the Merger and shall not be terminated or modified in such a manner as to adversely affect any Indemnified Party to whom this Section 6.9 applies without the written consent of such affected Indemnified Party (it being expressly agreed that the Indemnified Parties to whom this Section 6.9 applies shall be third party beneficiaries of this Section 6.9, each of whom may enforce the provisions of this Section 6.9). The Surviving Corporation shall pay all expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, that may be incurred by any Indemnified Party in connection with his or her enforcement of his or her rights provided in this Section 6.9 and if Surviving Corporation is unable, or unwilling as required, to pay, then the Parent shall so pay.

(f) The provisions of this Section 6.9 are intended to be in addition to the rights otherwise available to the current and former officers and directors of the Company by law, charter, statute, bylaw or agreement.

Section 6.10. Section 16 Matters. Prior to the Acceptance Time, the Company shall take all such steps as may be required to cause the transactions contemplated by Section 2.7 and any other dispositions of equity securities of the Company (including derivative securities) in connection with this Agreement by each individual who is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act with respect to the Company to be exempt under Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act (in accordance with that certain SEC No-Action Letter to Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP, dated January 12, 1999 issued by the SEC regarding such matters).

Section 6.11. Rule 14d-10(d).

Section 6.12. State Takeover Laws. The Company and Parent and their respective Boards of Directors shall (a) use reasonable best efforts to ensure that no state takeover Law or similar Law is or becomes applicable to this Agreement, the Offer, the Merger or any of the Transactions and (b) if any state takeover Law or similar Law becomes applicable to this Agreement, the Offer, the Merger, the Top-Up Option or any of the Transactions, use reasonable best efforts to ensure that the Offer, the Merger, the Top-Up Option and the Transactions may be consummated as promptly as practicable on the terms contemplated by this Agreement and otherwise to minimize the effect of such Law on this Agreement, the Offer, the Merger and the Transactions.

Section 6.13. Stock Exchange De-listing. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall cooperate with Parent and use its commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and do or cause to be done all things, reasonably necessary, proper or advisable on its part under applicable Laws and rules and policies of the NASDAQ Stock Market LLC to enable the de-listing of the common stock of the Surviving Corporation from the NASDAQ Stock Market LLC and the deregistration of such common stock under the Exchange Act as promptly as practicable after the Effective Time.

Section 6.14. Control of Operations. Without in any way limiting any party’s rights or obligations under this Agreement, the parties understand and agree that (a) nothing contained in this Agreement shall give Parent or Merger Sub, directly or indirectly, the right to control or direct the Company’s operations prior to the Board Appointment Date, and (b) prior to the Board Appointment Date, the Company shall exercise, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, complete control and supervision over its operations.

Section 6.15. Obligations of Merger Sub and the Surviving Corporation. Parent shall take all action necessary to cause Merger Sub, the Surviving Corporation and, following the Board Appointment Time, the Company, to perform their respective obligations under this Agreement. Immediately following the execution of this Agreement, Parent shall cause its

subsidiary which owns all of the outstanding shares of Merger Sub to execute and deliver, in its capacity as the sole stockholder of Merger Sub, a written consent approving and adopting this Agreement.

the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 8.1A(b)(i) shall not be available to any party if the failure of the Acceptance Time to occur on or before the Walk Away Date was caused by or resulted from the failure of such party (or any Affiliate of such party) to (i) perform in any material respect any covenant or agreement in this Agreement required to be performed by such party (or any Affiliate of such party); or (ii) comply in all respects with the terms of Section 6.3(b) to the extent required of such party thereunder; or

(b) by mutual written consent of Parent, Merger Sub and the Company; or

(c) if any Judgment issued by a court of competent jurisdiction or by a Governmental Authority, or Law or other legal restraint or prohibition, in each case making the consummation of the Offer or Merger illegal or permanently restraining, enjoining or otherwise preventing or prohibiting the consummation thereof shall be in effect and shall have become final and nonappealable; provided; however that the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1B(c) shall not be available to any party to this Agreement if the issuance of such Judgment, Law, legal restraint or prohibition was caused by or resulted from the failure of such party (or any Affiliate of such party) to (i) perform in any material respect any covenant or agreement in this Agreement required to be performed by such party (or any Affiliate of such party) or (ii) comply in all respects with the terms of Section 6.3(b) to the extent required thereunder in connection with such Judgment, Law, legal restraint or prohibition.

Except in the case of a termination pursuant to Section 8.1A(a) or 8.1B(b) the party desiring to terminate this Agreement shall deliver written notice of such termination to the other party or parties to this Agreement, setting forth in such notice the provision of this Section 8.1 pursuant to which such party is terminating this Agreement.

Section 8.2. Effect of Termination. Upon the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1, this Agreement shall forthwith become null and void and of no effect without any liability on the part of any party hereto, and all rights and obligations of any party hereto shall cease and terminate, except for the provisions of (a) this Section 8.2 (b) Section 8.3 (Fees and Expenses), and (c) Article 9 (General Provisions), which shall survive such termination and remain in full force and effect; provided, however, that neither the termination of this Agreement nor anything else contained herein to the contrary, shall relieve any party from any liability or damages that is attributable to fraud or to any willful breach of this Agreement occurring prior to such termination in accordance with the terms set forth herein. The Confidentiality Agreement shall not be affected by the termination of this Agreement and shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with its terms.

Section 8.3. Fees and Expenses.

(a) Except as set forth in this Section 8.3, all fees and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the Transactions shall be paid by the party incurring such fees and expenses, whether or not the Offer or the Merger is consummated. If the Agreement is terminated by Parent pursuant to Section 8.1A(e) as a result of the failure of the conditions listed in Annex A, paragraphs 2(b) and 2(c), then the Company shall, following receipt of an invoice therefor, promptly, and in any event within two (2) Business Days, pay the reasonably documented out-of-pocket fees and expenses (including legal fees and expenses and advisor and consultant fees and expenses) actually incurred by Parent and its Affiliates on or prior to the termination of this Agreement, up to a maximum amount of One Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($1,500,000) (“Expense Fee”), by wire transfer of same day funds to one or more accounts designated by Parent. The Expense Fee shall constitute the sole and exclusive remedy of Parent, Merger Sub, any Affiliate thereof or any other Person against the Company and its Affiliates, shareholders, directors, officers, employees or Representatives in connection with any termination of this Agreement for which the Expense Fee must be paid, except in the case of (i) termination by Parent pursuant to Section 8.1A(e) as a result of fraud or any willful breach of the Company’s covenants or agreements set forth in this Agreement or (ii) the failure of the Company to pay the Expense Fee without simultaneously contesting in good faith that the Expense Fee is due and payable hereunder.

(b) In the event that this Agreement is terminated by either Parent or the Company pursuant to Section 8.1A(b)(i) at a time when Parent would have been entitled to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(b)(i), so long as, in any such case, (A) before the date of such termination, a bona fide Takeover Proposal shall have been publicly announced or otherwise been publicly communicated to the holders of Company Common Stock, and (B) within twelve (12) months after the date of such termination, the Company shall have entered into a definitive agreement in respect of such Takeover Proposal, and such Takeover Proposal is ultimately consummated, then the Company shall pay, or cause to be paid, to Parent, or its designated Affiliate by wire transfer of immediately available funds an amount equal to $9,000,000 (the “Termination Fee”), such payment to be made no later than the third (3^rd) Business Day following the date of the consummation of such Takeover Proposal.

(c) In the event that this Agreement is terminated by the Company pursuant to Section 8.1A(d), then the Company shall pay, or cause to be paid, to Parent or its designated Affiliate by wire transfer of immediately available funds an amount equal to the Termination Fee, such payment to be made concurrently with such termination;

(d) In the event this Agreement is terminated by Parent pursuant to Section 8.1A(c), Company shall pay, or cause to be paid, to Parent or its designated Affiliate, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, an amount equal to the Termination Fee, such payment to be made no later than the third (3^rd) Business Day following notice of such termination.

(e) For the avoidance of doubt, the Company shall not be required to pay a Termination Fee pursuant to more than one clause of this Section 8.3 or on more than one occasion. The parties acknowledge and agree that (i) the agreements contained in this Section 8.3 are an integral part of the Transactions, (ii) the damages resulting from termination of this Agreement under circumstances where a Termination Fee is payable by the Company are uncertain and incapable of accurate calculation and therefore, the amounts payable pursuant to Section 8.3(b), (c) or (d), as applicable, are not a penalty, but rather are liquidated damages in a reasonable amount that will compensate Parent and Merger Sub, as the case may be, for the efforts and resources expended and opportunities foregone while negotiating this Agreement and in reliance on this Agreement and on the expectation of the consummation of the Transactions, which amount would otherwise be impossible to calculate with precision, (iii) without these agreements, Parent and Merger Sub would not enter into this Agreement, and (iv) payment of the Termination Fee pursuant to the applicable provision of this Section 8.3 shall constitute the sole and exclusive remedy of Parent, Merger Sub, any Affiliate thereof or any other Person against the Company and its Affiliates, shareholders, directors, officers, employees or Representatives in connection with any termination of this Agreement for which a Termination Fee must be paid. Accordingly, if the Company fails timely to pay the Termination Fee when due pursuant to Section 8.3, and, in order to obtain such payment, Parent commences a suit that results in a judgment against the Company for the Termination Fee, the Company shall pay to Parent its documented and reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) in connection with such suit, together with interest on the amount of the Termination Fee from the date such payment was required to be made until the date of payment at a per annum rate equal to the prime rate of Citibank, N.A., in effect on the date such payment was required to be made, plus five percent (5.0%).

Section 8.4. Amendment. Subject to Section 1.3(c), at any time prior to the Effective Time, this Agreement may be amended by the parties hereto, by action taken or authorized by their respective Boards of Directors, at any time before or after adoption of this Agreement and the Transactions by the respective Boards of Directors or shareholders of the parties hereto; provided, however, that after any such adoption by the holders of Shares, no amendment shall be made that, by applicable Law, requires further approval of such shareholders, without the further approval of such shareholders. This Agreement may not be amended except by an instrument in writing signed on behalf of each of the parties hereto.

Section 8.5. Waiver. Subject to Section 1.3(c), at any time prior to the Effective Time, the parties hereto, by action taken or authorized by their respective Boards of Directors, may, to the extent legally allowed, (a) extend the time for the performance of any of

the obligations or other acts of the other parties hereto, (b) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties contained herein or in any document delivered pursuant hereto and (c) waive compliance with any of the agreements or conditions contained herein. Any agreement on the part of a party hereto to any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in a written instrument signed on behalf of such party. Such extension or waiver shall not apply to any time for performance, inaccuracy in any representation or warranty, or noncompliance with any agreement or condition, as the case may be, other than that which is specified in the extension or waiver. The failure of any party to this Agreement to assert any of its rights under this Agreement or otherwise shall not constitute a waiver of such rights or preclude any other or further exercise of such rights or any other rights under this Agreement.

Section 8.6. Procedure for Termination, Amendment, Extension or Waiver. A termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1, an amendment, modification or supplement of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.4 or an extension or waiver of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.5 shall, in order to be effective, require, in the case of Parent, Merger Sub or the Company, action by its Board of Directors or the duly authorized designee of its Board of Directors (which, in the case of the Company, shall include the approval contemplated by Section 1.3).

Section 9.4. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the Laws of the State of New Jersey without regard to the conflict or choice of laws provisions thereof that would give rise to the application of the domestic substantive law of any other jurisdiction.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Parent may assign this Agreement and its rights and obligations therein to an Affiliate without the consent of the Company, provided that any such assignment shall not relieve Parent from any liability or obligation hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, from and after the Effective Time, Section 2.5 and Section 2.6 (with respect to which holders of Company Common Stock) shall be third party beneficiaries, Section 2.7 (with respect to which holders of Options and Restricted Shares) shall be third party beneficiaries and Section 6.9 (with respect to which the Indemnified Parties) shall be third party beneficiaries are for the benefit of the Persons named therein and such Persons may specifically enforce such provisions.

prior understandings, agreements or representations by or among the parties hereto, or any of them, whether written or oral, with respect to the subject matter hereof, and the parties hereto specifically disclaim reliance on any such prior understandings, agreements or representations to the extent not embodied in this Agreement. The representations and warranties set forth in Articles 3 and 4 and (except as otherwise expressly set forth herein) the covenants set forth in this Agreement have been made solely for the benefit of the parties to this Agreement and (a) may be intended not as statements of fact, but rather as a way of allocating the risk to one of the parties if those statements prove to be inaccurate; (b) have been qualified by reference to the Company Disclosure Letter, which contains certain disclosures that are not reflected in the text of this Agreement; and (c) may apply standards of materiality in a way that is different from what may be viewed as material by shareholders of, or other investors in, the Company.

Section 9.10. Enforcement.

(a) Except as otherwise provided herein, any and all remedies herein expressly conferred upon a party will be deemed cumulative with and not exclusive of any other remedy conferred hereby, or by Law or equity upon such party, and the exercise by a party of any one remedy will not preclude the exercise of any other remedy. The parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement and this right shall include the right of the parties to cause the Transactions to be consummated on the terms set forth in this Agreement, in each case without posting a bond or undertaking, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at Law or in equity or pursuant to this Agreement. Each of the parties hereto hereby waives any defenses in any action for specific performance, including the defense that a remedy at Law would be adequate.

(b) Notwithstanding the parties’ rights to specific performance or injunctive relief or both pursuant to Section 9.10(a), each party may pursue any other remedy available to it at Law or in equity, including monetary damages; provided, that it is understood and agreed that claims for monetary damages following termination of this Agreement shall be limited to those arising from or relating to fraud or any willful breach of its covenants or agreements or representations, or warranties set forth in the Agreement. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, prior to the termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, no party hereto shall be permitted to make any claim or commence any action, suit or proceeding seeking monetary damages against any other party hereto in connection with or arising out of this Agreement or the Transactions, provided that the foregoing shall be without prejudice to the right of any party to seek such monetary damages following such termination in accordance with, and subject to the limitations set forth in, this Agreement.

Section 9.11. Disclosure Letter. The inclusion of any information in the Company Disclosure Letter shall not be deemed to be an admission or acknowledgment, in and of itself, that such information is required by the terms hereof to be disclosed, is material, has resulted in or is reasonably likely to result in a Company Material Adverse Effect or is outside the Ordinary Course of Business.

(c) the Company shall have failed to perform in any material respect any material covenant or material obligation required to be performed or complied with by it under the Agreement at or prior to the Acceptance Time;

(d) Parent and Merger Sub shall not have received a certificate executed by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer confirming on behalf of the Company that the conditions set forth in clauses (b) and (c) of paragraph (2) of this Annex A are duly satisfied immediately prior to the Acceptance Time;
