2.           Deliveries by Participant. Participant hereby delivers to the Company (i) a duly executed copy of this Agreement, (ii) two (2) copies of a blank Stock Power and Assignment Separate from Stock Certificate (the "Stock Powers"), both executed by Participant (and Participant's spouse, if any), (iii) if Participant is married, a Consent of Spouse (the "Spouse Consent") executed by Participant's spouse, and (iv) payment of the Purchase Price. Participant hereby agrees that the Company may satisfy Participant's obligation to pay to the Company each Share's par value by making appropriate deductions from funds due the Participant.

 

3.           Company's Repurchase Option for Unvested Shares. The Company, or its assignee, shall have the option to repurchase all or a portion of the Participant's Unvested Shares (as defined in Section 3.2 below) on the terms and conditions set forth in this Section (the "Repurchase Option") if Participant's status as a member of the Board terminates for any reason, or no reason, including without limitation Participant's death, disability, voluntary resignation or termination by the Company with or without cause.

 

3.1           Termination and Termination Date. In case of any dispute as to whether Participant's status as a member of the Board has terminated, the Board shall have sole discretion to determine whether Participant's status as a member of the Board has terminated and the effective date of such termination (the "Termination Date").

 

3.2           Unvested and Vested Shares. Shares that are vested pursuant to the schedule set forth in this Section 3.2 are "Vested Shares." Shares that are not vested pursuant to the schedule set forth in this Section 3.2 are "Unvested Shares." Unvested Shares may not be sold or otherwise transferred by Participant without the Company's prior written consent. On the Effective Date all of the Shares will be Unvested Shares.

 

(a)           [Vesting Schedule 1: Subject to Participant's continuous service as a member of the Board throughout, 100% of the Shares shall become exercisable on the first anniversary of the Effective Date, provided however that the Committee may accelerate vesting in its sole discretion when and in the event a Participant's status as a member of the Board has terminated by reason of Participant's death, disability, voluntary resignation or termination by the Company without cause.] [OTHER VESTING SCHEDULE AS APPROVED FROM TIME TO TIME].

 

(b)           If the application of the vesting percentage causes a fractional share, such share shall be rounded down to the nearest whole share except for the last installment in such vesting period, at the end of which the balance of Unvested Shares shall become Vested Shares. No Shares will become Vested Shares after the Termination Date. The number of Shares that are Vested Shares or Unvested Shares will be proportionally adjusted for any stock split or similar change in the capital structure of the Company as set forth in Section 13(a) of the Plan.

 

3.3           Exercise of Repurchase Option. At any time within ninety (90) days after the Termination Date, the Company, or its assignee(s), may elect to repurchase any or all of the Participant's Unvested Shares by giving Participant written notice of exercise of the Repurchase Option.

 

3.4           Calculation of Repurchase Price. The Company or its assignee(s) shall have the option to repurchase from Participant (or from Participant's personal representative as the case may be) the Participant's Unvested Shares at the Participant's original Purchase Price Per Share (as adjusted to reflect any stock split or similar change in the capital structure of the Company as set forth in Section 13(a) of the Plan) (the "Repurchase Price").

 

3.5           Payment of Repurchase Price. The Repurchase Price shall be payable, at the option of the Company or its assignee(s), by check or by cancellation of all or a portion of any outstanding purchase money indebtedness owed by Participant to the Company, or such assignee, or by any combination thereof. The Repurchase Price shall be paid without interest within sixty (60) days after exercise of the Repurchase Option.

 

3.4           Right of Termination Unaffected. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to limit or otherwise affect in any manner whatsoever the right or power of the Company or the shareholders of the Company to terminate Participant's status as a member of the Board.

  

2

  

 

4.           Restrictions on Transfers. Purchaser shall not transfer, assign, grant a lien or security interest in, pledge, hypothecate, encumber or otherwise dispose of any of the Unvested Shares.

 

5.           Rights as a Stockholder. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Participant will have all of the rights of a stockholder of the Company with respect to the Shares from and after the date that Participant delivers payment of the Purchase Price until such time as Participant disposes of the Shares or such Shares are sold to the Company. Such Shares shall be by the Company until such Shares cease to be subject to the Repurchase Option, subject to forfeiture as provided herein.

 

7.           Restrictive Legends and Stop-Transfer Orders.

 

7.1           Legends. Participant understands and agrees that the Company will place the legends set forth below or similar legends on any stock certificate(s) evidencing the Shares, together with any other legends that may be required by state or federal securities laws, the Company's Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws, any other agreement between Participant and the Company or any agreement between Participant and any third party:

 

THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO CERTAIN RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER, INCLUDING THE RIGHT OF REPURCHASE HELD BY THE ISSUER AND/OR ITS ASSIGNEE(S) AS SET FORTH IN A RESTRICTED STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE ISSUER AND THE ORIGINAL HOLDER OF THESE SHARES, A COPY OF WHICH MAY BE OBTAINED AT THE PRINCIPAL OFFICE OF THE ISSUER. SUCH TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS, INCLUDING THE RIGHT OF REPURCHASE ARE BINDING ON TRANSFEREES OF THESE SHARES.

 

Participant agrees that, to ensure compliance with the restrictions imposed by this Agreement, the Company may issue appropriate "stop-transfer" instructions to its transfer agent, if any, and if the Company transfers its own securities, it may make appropriate notations to the same effect in its own records. The Company will not be required (i) to transfer on its books any Shares that have been sold or otherwise transferred in violation of any of the provisions of this Agreement or (ii) to treat as owner of such Shares, or to accord the right to vote or pay dividends to any participant or other transferee to whom such Shares have been so transferred. 

 

8.           Compliance with Laws and Regulations. The issuance and transfer of the Shares will be subject to and conditioned upon compliance by the Company and Participant with all applicable state and federal laws and regulations and with all applicable requirements of any stock exchange or automated quotation system on which the Company's Common Stock may be listed or quoted at the time of such issuance or transfer.

 

9.           Successors and Assigns. The Company may assign any of its rights under this Agreement, including its rights to repurchase Shares under the Repurchase Option. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the Company.

Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, at the Effective Time, the Company shall be merged with and into Acquirer and the separate corporate existence of the Company shall thereupon cease (the “Merger”).

ARTICLE II 
EFFECT OF MERGER ON CAPITAL STOCK; EXCHANGE OF CERTIFICATES
Section 2.01      Effect on Capital Stock.  At the Effective Time, as a result of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder of any capital stock of the Company or Acquirer:
(a)    Company Common Stock.  Subject to Section 2.02(e), each share of the common stock, no par value (the “Company Common Stock”), of the Company (each a “Share” and, 

2

collectively, the “Shares”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than (i) any Excluded Shares and (ii) Shares that are owned by shareholders (“Dissenting Shareholders”) who have perfected and not effectively withdrawn a demand for appraisal rights pursuant to Chapter 23B.13 of the WBCA (“Dissenting Shares”)) shall be converted into the right to receive the fraction of a share of the common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Acquirer (the “Acquirer Common Stock”) equal to the Exchange Ratio (the “Per Share Merger Consideration”).  The “Exchange Ratio” is equal to the fraction derived by dividing $1.75 by the Collar Price, carried out to five decimal places.  The “Collar Price” shall be an amount equal to the average of the daily weighted average prices of the Acquirer Common Stock on NASDAQ as reported on the NASDAQ website for each of the fifteen (15) trading days ending one (1) trading day prior to the Effective Time (“Market Value”), subject to the limitations that in the event that such weighted average price exceeds $13.00 the Collar Price shall be $13.00 and in the event such weighted average price is less than $11.50 the Collar Price shall be $11.50.  At the Effective Time, each Share shall cease to be outstanding, shall be cancelled and shall cease to exist, and each certificate (a “Certificate”) formerly representing any of the Shares (other than Excluded Shares and Dissenting Shares) shall thereafter represent only the Merger Consideration specified herein.
(b)    Excluded Shares.  Each Excluded Share shall, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, cease to be outstanding, be cancelled without payment of any consideration therefor and shall cease to exist.
(c)    Series A Preferred Stock.  Each share of Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A issued by the Company to the United States Department of the Treasury (the “Treasury”) in connection with the Company’s participation in the Treasury’s Troubled Asset Relief Program (“TARP”) Capital Purchase Program (the “Series A Preferred Stock”) shall be converted into the right to receive payment in cash of the sum of $1,000 plus all accrued and unpaid dividends on such share of Series A Preferred Stock.  At the Effective Time, each share of the Series A Preferred Stock shall cease to be outstanding, shall be cancelled and shall cease to exist, and each certificate (a “Preferred Stock Certificate”) formerly representing any of the Series A Preferred Stock shall thereafter represent only the right to receive the cash consideration specified herein.
(d)    Dissenting Shares.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the holders of any Dissenting Shares shall be entitled only to such rights and payments as are provided by Chapter 23B.13 of the WBCA; provided, however, that if any such holder shall effectively waive, withdraw or lose such holder’s rights under Chapter 23B.13 of the WBCA, each of such holder’s Dissenting Shares shall thereupon be deemed to have been converted at the Effective Time into the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration, after giving effect to any required Tax withholdings as provided in Section 2.02(h), and such holder shall cease to have any other rights with respect thereto.
(e)    No Effect on Acquirer Stock.  The Merger shall have no effect on the shares of capital stock of Acquirer that are outstanding before the Merger, all of which shares shall remain outstanding without change after the Effective Time.

3

(f)    Adjustments.  If, between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time, the outstanding shares of Acquirer Common Stock shall have been increased, decreased, changed into or exchanged for a different number or kind of shares or securities as a result of a reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split or other similar change in capitalization, an appropriate and proportionate adjustment shall be made to the Exchange Ratio.
Section 2.02      Exchange of Certificates.
(a)    Exchange Agent.  At the Effective Time, Acquirer shall deposit or make available to Computershare, or to a bank or trust company designated by Acquirer and reasonably acceptable to the Company (the “Exchange Agent”), for the benefit of the holders of Shares for exchange in accordance with this Article II, (i) evidence of shares in book entry form representing the shares of Acquirer Common Stock issuable pursuant to Section 2.01 in exchange for the Shares and (ii) to the extent then known, sufficient cash to pay cash in lieu of fractional shares in accordance with Section 2.02(e).
(b)    Exchange Procedures.  Promptly after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall cause the Exchange Agent to mail to each holder of Shares of record (other than holders of Excluded Shares or Dissenting Shares) (i) a letter of transmittal specifying that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of the Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu of the Certificates as provided in Section 2.02(d)) to the Exchange Agent, and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu of the Certificates as provided in Section 2.02(d)) in exchange for evidence in customary form of the issuance of shares of Acquirer Common Stock in book entry form (a “Book Entry Notice”) representing the number of whole shares of Acquirer Common Stock into which such Shares have been converted in the Merger.  Upon surrender of a Certificate (or affidavit of loss in lieu of the Certificate as provided in Section 2.02(d)) to the Exchange Agent in accordance with the terms of such letter of transmittal, duly executed, the holder of such Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor a Book Entry Notice evidencing that number of whole shares of Acquirer Common Stock, which such holder has the right to receive in respect of the Shares surrendered pursuant to the provisions of this Article II (after aggregation of all Shares then held by such holder) and the Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled.  In the event of a transfer of ownership of Shares that is not registered in the transfer records of the Company, the Merger Consideration to be exchanged upon due surrender of the Certificate as herein provided may be issued to the transferee if the Certificate previously representing such Shares is presented to the Exchange Agent, accompanied by all documents required to evidence and effect such transfer and to evidence that any applicable stock transfer taxes have been paid or are not applicable.
(c)    No Further Transfers.  From and after the Effective Time, there shall be no 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, any Certificate is presented to the Surviving Corporation, Acquirer or the Exchange Agent for transfer, it shall be cancelled 

4

and exchanged for the Merger Consideration to which the holder of the Certificate is entitled pursuant to this Article II.
(d)    Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates.  In the event any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by Acquirer, the posting by such Person of a bond in customary amount and upon such terms as may be required by Acquirer as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it or the Surviving Corporation with respect to such Certificate, the Exchange Agent will issue a Book Entry Notice evidencing the amount of Acquirer Common Stock to which the holder of Company Common Stock is entitled pursuant to this Article II. 
(e)    No Fractional Shares.  No certificates or scrip representing fractional shares of Acquirer Common Stock shall be issued upon the surrender for exchange of Company Common Stock, and such fractional share interests will not entitle the owner thereof to vote or to any rights of a shareholder of the Surviving Corporation.  In lieu thereof, upon surrender of the applicable Company Common Stock by submission of a letter of transmittal to the Exchange Agent accompanied by the applicable Certificates, the Exchange Agent shall pay each holder of such Company Common Stock an amount in cash equal to the product obtained by multiplying (i) the fractional share interest to which such holder would otherwise be entitled by (ii) the Market Value.
(f)    Termination of Exchange Fund.  Any portion of the Exchange Fund which remains undistributed to the shareholders of the Company for six months after the Effective Time shall be delivered to the Surviving Corporation, upon demand, and any holders of Company Common Stock who have not theretofore complied with this Article II shall thereafter look only to the Surviving Corporation for payment of their claim for Acquirer Common Stock, any cash in lieu of fractional shares of Acquirer Common Stock and any dividends or distributions with respect to Acquirer Common Stock.
(g)    Appraisal Rights.  No Person who has perfected a demand for appraisal rights pursuant to Chapter 23B.13 of the WBCA shall be entitled to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration with respect to the Shares owned by such Person unless and until such Person shall have effectively withdrawn or lost such Person’s right to appraisal under the WBCA.  Each Dissenting Shareholder shall be entitled to receive only the payment provided by Chapter 23B.13 of the WBCA with respect to Shares owned by such Dissenting Shareholder.  The Company shall give Acquirer (i) reasonably prompt notice of any written demands for appraisal, attempted withdrawals of such demands, and any other instruments served pursuant to applicable Law that are received by the Company relating to shareholders’ rights of appraisal and (ii) the opportunity to direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to demand for appraisal under Chapter 23B.13 of the WBCA.  The Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of Acquirer, voluntarily make any payment with respect to any demands for appraisal, offer to settle or settle any such demands or approve any withdrawal of any such demands.
(h)    Withholding Rights.  Each of Acquirer and the Surviving Corporation shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this 

5

Agreement to any holder of Shares such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code or any other applicable state, local or foreign Tax Laws.  To the extent that amounts are so withheld by Acquirer or the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, such withheld amounts (i) shall be remitted by Acquirer or the Surviving Corporation, as applicable, to the applicable Governmental Entity, and (ii) to the extent so remitted, shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of Shares in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made by the Surviving Corporation or Acquirer, as the case may be.
Section 2.03      Stock Options.  The Company and Acquirer shall take all actions necessary to provide that, effective as of the Effective Time, without any action on the part of the holders thereof, each outstanding Company Stock Option shall cease to represent the right to acquire shares of Company Common Stock and shall instead be converted automatically into an option to acquire shares of Acquirer Common Stock as provided below (an “Assumed Option”), and such Assumed Options will be assumed by Acquirer on substantially the same terms and conditions as were applicable under the corresponding Company Stock Options immediately prior to the Effective Time; provided, however, that after the Effective Time:
(a)    each Assumed Option will be exercisable for a number of shares of Acquirer Common Stock equal to the product of (i) the number of shares of Company Common Stock that would be issuable upon exercise of the Company Stock Option outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by (ii) the Exchange Ratio, rounded down to the nearest whole share; and 
(b)    the per share exercise price for the Acquirer Common Stock issuable upon exercise of such Assumed Option will be equal to the quotient determined by dividing (i) the per share exercise price for such Company Stock Option outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time by (ii) the Exchange Ratio, rounded up to the nearest whole cent.
Any restriction on the exercisability of such Company Stock Option in effect as of the date hereof will continue in full force and effect, and the term, exercisability, and vesting schedule of such Company Stock Option as in effect on the date hereof will remain unchanged.  As soon as reasonably practicable following the Closing Date, the Surviving Corporation will deliver to each Person who holds an Assumed Option a document evidencing the foregoing assumption of such Company Stock Option by the Surviving Corporation.  The Company and Acquirer will cooperate and coordinate with respect to any materials to be submitted to the holders of Company Stock Options in connection with any notice required under this Section 2.03. 
Section 2.04      Series A Preferred Stock; Treasury Warrant.  Acquirer will make appropriate arrangements with the Treasury prior to the Effective Time to pay to the Treasury the Merger Consideration to which the Treasury is entitled with respect to the Series A Preferred Stock owned by the Treasury and, at Acquirer’s sole election, to purchase the Treasury Warrant, in connection with or following the Closing.

(y)    In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, each of Acquirer (and Acquirer shall cause its Subsidiaries to) and the Company (and the Company shall cause its Subsidiaries to) shall use its reasonable best efforts to (i) avoid the entry of, or to have vacated, lifted, reversed or overturned any decree, judgment, injunction or other order, whether temporary, preliminary or permanent, that would restrain, prevent or delay the Closing, and (ii) avoid or eliminate each and every impediment under any applicable Law so as to enable the Closing to occur as soon as possible; provided, however, that nothing in this Agreement, including this Section 6.01, shall require, or be construed to require, Acquirer or any of its Affiliates to (x) proffer to, or agree to, sell, divest, or otherwise dispose of before or after the Effective Time, any assets, licenses, operations, rights, product lines, businesses or interest therein of Acquirer, the Company or any of their respective Affiliates, (y) agree to any conditions or make any commitments that are not comparable to those imposed in connection with comparable transactions and that would not be reasonably foreseeable based upon publicly available information, or (z) agree to any material changes or restriction on, or other impairment of Acquirer’s ability to own or operate, any of any such assets, licenses, operations, rights, product lines, businesses or interests therein or Acquirer’s or any of its Affiliates’ ability to vote, transfer, receive dividends or otherwise exercise full ownership rights with respect to the stock of the Surviving Corporation, in each case measured on a scale relative to the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole (each, a “Burdensome Condition”).
(z)    Each of Acquirer and the Company shall promptly advise the other upon receiving (including through their respective Affiliates) any communication from a Governmental Entity the consent or approval of which is required for consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement that causes such Party to believe that there is a reasonable likelihood that any Requisite Regulatory Consent will not be obtained without the imposition of a Burdensome Condition or that the receipt of any such approval may be delayed.
Section 6.02      Access to Information.
(a)    Upon reasonable notice and subject to applicable Laws and with an effort to minimize business disruption, the Company shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, afford to the officers, directors, employees, agents and the Representatives of Acquirer, reasonable access, during normal business hours during the period prior to the Effective Time, to 

35

all its properties, books, Contracts, commitments and records, and, during such period, the Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, make available to Acquirer (i) a copy of each report, schedule, registration statement and other document filed or received by it during such period pursuant to the requirements of federal or state banking Laws (other than reports or documents that the Company is not permitted to disclose under applicable Law) and (ii) all such other information concerning its business, properties and personnel as Acquirer may reasonably request.  Neither the Company nor any of its Affiliates shall be required to provide access to or to disclose information where such access or disclosure would jeopardize the attorney-client privilege of such party or contravene any Law, fiduciary duty or Order or binding Contract entered into prior to the date of this Agreement.  The Parties shall make appropriate substitute disclosure arrangements under circumstances in which the restrictions of the preceding sentence apply.
(b)    All nonpublic information and materials provided prior to or after the date of this Agreement shall be subject to the provisions of the confidentiality agreement entered into between the Parties as of March 1, 2012 (the “Confidentiality Agreement”).
(c)    No investigation by a party hereto or its representatives shall affect or be deemed to modify or waive any representations, warranties or covenants of the other Party set forth in this Agreement.
Section 6.03      Employee Matters.
(a)    Acquirer shall have the sole right and discretion to determine which Persons shall remain as Employees after the Closing Date.  Following the Closing Date, Acquirer shall maintain or cause to be maintained employee benefit plans and compensation opportunities for the benefit of Employees who remain actively employed by the Company or its Subsidiaries after the Closing Date (“Covered Employees”) that provide employee benefits and compensation opportunities that, in the aggregate, are no less favorable than the employee benefits and compensation opportunities that are generally made available to similarly situated employees of Acquirer or its Subsidiaries (other than the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries) (collectively, the “Acquirer Plans”), as applicable; provided, that (i) with respect to retirement benefits, satisfaction of the foregoing standard shall not require that any Covered Employee be eligible to participate in any specific retirement plan of Acquirer or a closed or frozen Acquirer Plan; and (ii) until such time as Acquirer shall cause Covered Employees to participate in the Acquirer Plans, a Covered Employee’s continued participation in the employee benefit plans and compensation opportunities of the Company and its Subsidiaries as in effect immediately prior to the Closing Date shall be deemed to satisfy the foregoing provisions of this sentence (it being understood that participation in the Acquirer Plans may commence at different times with respect to each Acquirer Plan).
(b)    Nothing in this Section 6.03 shall be construed to limit the right of Acquirer or any of its Affiliates (including, following the Closing Date, the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries) to amend or terminate any Benefit Plan or other employee benefit plan, to the extent such amendment or termination is permitted by the terms of the applicable plan, nor shall anything in this Section 6.03 be construed to require Acquirer or any of its Affiliates (including, 

36

following the Closing Date, the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries) to maintain any Acquirer Plan or retain the employment of any particular Covered Employee for any fixed period of time following the Closing Date.  This Agreement shall inure exclusively to the benefit of, and be binding upon the Parties hereto and their respective successors, assigns, executors and legal representatives.  Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, including without limitation this Section 6.03, is intended to confer on any person other than the Parties hereto or their respective successors and assigns any rights, remedies, obligations, or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement.
Section 6.04      Indemnification; Directors’ and Officers’ Insurance.
(a)    From and after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless, to the extent permitted under applicable Law (and shall also advance expenses as incurred to the extent permitted under applicable Law and the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Surviving Corporation), each present and former director and officer of the Company or its Subsidiaries (in each case, to the extent acting in such capacity), determined as of the Effective Time (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”) against any costs or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages or liabilities incurred in connection with any claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, actual or threatened, arising out of facts or matters existing or occurring at or prior to the Effective Time, including the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided, that the Indemnified Party to whom expenses are advanced provides an undertaking to repay such advances if it is ultimately determined that such Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification by the Surviving Corporation.
(b)    The Surviving Corporation shall provide the directors and officers liability insurance (the “D&O Insurance”) to the Indemnified Parties for a period of six years from and after the Effective Time with $3,000,000 of coverage; provided, however, that in no event shall the Surviving Corporation be required to expend for such D&O Insurance a premium amount in excess of 200% of the annual premium paid by the Company for such insurance during its last renewal (“Initial Premium”); provided, further, that if the premium amount of such insurance coverage would exceed 200% of Initial Premium amount, the Surviving Corporation shall obtain a policy or policies of D&O Insurance for such Persons with the greatest coverage available for a cost not exceeding 200% of Initial Premium amount.
(c)    Any Indemnified Party wishing to claim indemnification under Section 6.04(a), upon learning of any claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation described above, will promptly notify the Surviving Corporation; provided, that failure to so notify will not affect the obligations of Acquirer under Section 6.04(a) unless and to the extent that the Surviving Corporation is actually and materially prejudiced as a consequence.
(d)    The provisions of this Section 6.04 are intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each Indemnified Party.

37

Section 6.05      Acquisition Proposals.
(a)    The Company agrees that it shall not, and shall cause the officers, directors, employees, agents and representatives, including any investment banker, financial advisor, attorney, accountant or other advisor, agent, representative or Affiliate (collectively as to each Party, the “Representatives”) of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries not to, directly or indirectly:
(i)    initiate, solicit or encourage any inquiries or the making of any proposal or offer that constitutes, or could reasonably be expected to lead to, any Acquisition Proposal;
(ii)    engage in, continue or otherwise participate in any discussions or negotiations regarding, or provide any information or data to any Person relating to, any Acquisition Proposal; or
(iii)    otherwise knowingly facilitate any effort or attempt to make an Acquisition Proposal.
(b)    Notwithstanding anything in Section 6.05(a) to the contrary, prior to the time, but not after, the Requisite Shareholder Approval is obtained, the Company may (i) provide information in response to a request therefor by a Person who has made an unsolicited bona fide written Acquisition Proposal providing for the acquisition of more than 50% of the assets (on a consolidated basis) or total voting power of the equity securities of the Company if the Company receives from the Person so requesting such information an executed confidentiality agreement on terms not less restrictive to the other party than those contained in the Confidentiality Agreement and substantially concurrently (and in any event within two (2) Business Days) discloses (and, if applicable, provides copies of) any such information to Acquirer to the extent not previously provided to Acquirer; (ii) engage or participate in any discussions or negotiations with any Person who has made such an unsolicited bona fide written Acquisition Proposal; or (iii) after having complied with all requirements of Section 6.05(c) and Section 6.05(d), approve, recommend, or otherwise declare advisable or propose to approve, recommend or declare advisable (publicly or otherwise) such an Acquisition Proposal, if, but only to the extent that, (x) prior to taking any action described in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) above, the Company Board determines in good faith after consultation with outside legal counsel that failure to take such action, in light of the Acquisition Proposal and the terms of this Agreement, would be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law, (y) in each such case referred to in clause (i) or (ii) above, the Company Board has determined in good faith after consultation with its financial advisor and outside legal counsel that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal, and (z) in the case referred to in clause (iii) above, the Company Board determines in good faith after consultation with its financial advisor and outside legal counsel that such Acquisition Proposal is a Superior Proposal.
(c)    The Company Board shall not withhold, withdraw, qualify or modify (or publicly propose or resolve to withhold, withdraw, qualify or modify), in a manner adverse to Acquirer, the Company Board Recommendation with respect to the Merger.  Notwithstanding the 

38

preceding sentence, prior to the time, but not after, the Requisite Shareholder Approval is obtained, the Company Board may withhold, withdraw, qualify or modify the Company Board Recommendation or approve, recommend or otherwise declare advisable any Superior Proposal made after the date of this Agreement that was not solicited, initiated, encouraged or facilitated in breach of this Agreement, if the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with outside counsel, that failure to do so would be in violation of the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law (a “Change of Recommendation”); provided, however, that no Change of Recommendation may be made, and, for the avoidance of doubt, no action referred to in Section 6.05(b)(iii) shall be taken, until after at least 72 hours following Acquirer’s receipt of notice from the Company advising that the Company currently intends to take such action and the basis therefor, including all necessary information under Section 6.05(e).  In determining whether to make a Change of Recommendation or, for the avoidance of doubt, whether to take any action referred to in Section 6.05(b)(iii), in response to a Superior Proposal or otherwise, the Company Board shall take into account any changes to the terms of this Agreement proposed by Acquirer and any other information provided by Acquirer in response to such notice.  Any material amendment to any Acquisition Proposal will be deemed to be a new Acquisition Proposal for purposes of this Section 6.05, including with respect to the notice periods referred to in this Section 6.05(c) and Section 6.05(e).
(d)    The Company agrees that it will immediately cease and cause to be terminated any existing activities, discussions or negotiations with any parties conducted prior to the date hereof with respect to any Acquisition Proposal.  The Company agrees that it will take the necessary steps to promptly inform the individuals or entities referred to in the first sentence hereof of the obligations undertaken in this Section 6.05 and in the Confidentiality Agreement.  The Company also agrees that it will promptly request each Person that has heretofore executed a confidentiality agreement in connection with such Person’s consideration of acquiring the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to return or destroy all confidential information heretofore furnished to such Person by or on behalf of it or any of its Subsidiaries.
(e)    The Company agrees that it will promptly (and, in any event, within two (2) Business Days) notify Acquirer if any inquiries, proposals or offers with respect to an Acquisition Proposal are received by, any such information is requested from, or any such discussions or negotiation are sought to be initiated or continued with, it or any of its Representatives indicating, in connection with such notice, the name of such Person and the material terms and conditions of any proposals or offers (including, if applicable, copies of any written requests, proposals or offers, including proposed Contracts) and thereafter shall keep Acquirer informed, on a current basis, of any material changes in the status and terms of any such proposals or offers (including any amendments thereto) and any material changes in the status of any such discussions or negotiations, including any change in the Company’s intentions as previously notified.
Section 6.06      Takeover Laws.  No Party will take any action that would cause the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to be subject to requirements imposed by any Takeover Law and each Party will take all necessary steps within its control to exempt (or ensure 

39

the continued exemption of) those transactions from, or if necessary challenge the validity or applicability of, any applicable Takeover Law, as now or hereafter in effect.
Section 6.07      Financial Statements and Other Current Information.  As soon as reasonably practicable after they become available, but in no event more than thirty (30) days after the end of each calendar month ending after the date hereof, the Company will put in the Data Room or, at the Company’s election, furnish to such Person as may be specified by Acquirer, pursuant to notice requirements set forth in Section 9.04, (a) consolidated financial statements (including balance sheets, statements of operations and shareholders’ equity) of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (to the extent available) as of and for such month then ended, (b) to the extent available, internal management reports showing actual financial performance against plan and previous period and (c) to the extent permitted by applicable Law, any reports provided to the Company Board or any committee thereof relating to the financial performance and risk management of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.
Section 6.08      Shareholders Meeting.  The Company will take, in accordance with applicable Law and its certificate of incorporation and bylaws, all action necessary to convene a meeting of holders of Shares (the “Shareholders Meeting”) as promptly as practicable after the date hereof, to consider and vote upon the adoption of this Agreement, and shall not postpone or adjourn such meeting except to the extent required by Law.  Subject to Section 6.05(c) hereof, the Company Board shall recommend the adoption of this Agreement by the Requisite Shareholder Approval and shall take all lawful action to solicit such adoption of this Agreement.  The obligation of the Company to hold the Shareholders Meeting shall not be affected by any Acquisition Proposal or other event or circumstance and the Company agrees that it will not submit any Acquisition Proposal to its shareholders for a vote at the Shareholder Meeting convened to consider and vote upon the adoption of this Agreement.
Section 6.09      Notification of Certain Matters.  The Company and Acquirer will give prompt notice to the other of any fact, event or circumstance known to it that (a) is reasonably likely, individually or taken together with all other facts, events and circumstances known to it, to result in any Company Material Adverse Effect or Acquirer Material Adverse Effect, respectively, or (b) would cause or constitute a material breach of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained herein that reasonably could be expected to give rise, individually or in the aggregate, to the failure of a condition in Article VII; provided, however, that failure to give such notice shall not separately constitute a failure of any condition in Article VII or a basis to terminate this Agreement unless the underlying fact, event or circumstance would independently result in such failure or provide such basis.  The Company shall give prompt notice to Acquirer of any legal, administrative, arbitral or other proceeding, claim or action, or governmental or regulatory investigation of any nature arising after the date hereof, but prior to the Effective Time. 
Section 6.10      Related Party Contracts.  To the extent requested in writing by the Acquirer with respect to any specific identified contract prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall take all actions necessary to terminate, and shall cause to be terminated, each Related Party Contract, in each case without any further liability or obligation of the Company, 

40

the Surviving Corporation, Acquirer or any of their respective Subsidiaries or Affiliates and, in connection therewith, the Company (or its applicable Subsidiary) shall have received from the other party to such Related Party Contract a release in favor of the Company, the Surviving Corporation, Acquirer and their respective Subsidiaries and Affiliates from any and all liabilities or obligations arising out of such Related Party Contract.
Section 6.11      Form S-4 Registration Statement.  Acquirer shall use its commercially reasonable best efforts to cause the Form S-4 Registration Statement, in which the Company’s Proxy Statement for the Shareholders Meeting will be included, to be filed with the SEC no later than forty-five (45) Business Days after the date of this Agreement.  Each of Acquirer and the Company shall use its commercially reasonable best efforts to have the Form S-4 Registration Statement declared effective under the Securities Act as promptly as practicable after such filing, and the Company shall thereafter mail or deliver the proxy statement contained therein to its shareholders.  Acquirer shall also use its reasonable best efforts to obtain all necessary state securities law or “blue sky” permits and approvals required to carry out the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and the Company shall furnish all information concerning the Company and the holders of the Company Common Stock that may be reasonably requested in connection with such action.  Within 60 days after the Effective Time, the Acquirer shall cause the shares underlying the Assumed Options to be registered with the SEC under a registration statement on Form S-8, including, at Acquirer’s election, an amendment on Form S-8 of the Form S-4 Registration Statement.

(i)    by mutual consent of the Company and Acquirer in a written instrument authorized by the Company Board and the Acquirer Board;
(j)    by Acquirer, if, since the date of this Agreement, the Company shall have suffered a Company Material Adverse Effect;
(k)    by the Company, if, since the date of this Agreement, Acquirer shall have suffered an Acquirer Material Adverse Effect;
(l)    by either the Company or Acquirer, if any Governmental Entity that must grant a Requisite Regulatory Consent has denied such Requisite Regulatory Consent or any Governmental Entity of competent jurisdiction shall have initiated legal or administrative action 

44

seeking an order, injunction or decree permanently enjoining or otherwise prohibiting or making illegal the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and such action shall not have been finally terminated;
(m)    by either the Company or Acquirer, if the Merger shall not have been consummated on or before June 1, 2013 (the “Outside Date”) unless the failure of the Closing to occur by such date shall be due to the failure of the Party seeking to terminate this Agreement to perform or observe the covenants and agreements of such Party set forth in this Agreement; provided, however that the Outside Date shall be extended by a period of 90 days if the only outstanding contingency is receipt of a Requisite Regulatory Approval;
(n)    by either the Company or Acquirer (provided, that the terminating Party is not then in material breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or other agreement contained herein), if there shall have been a breach of any of the covenants or agreements or any of the representations or warranties set forth in this Agreement on the part of the Company, in the case of a termination by Acquirer, or on the part of Acquirer, in the case of a termination by the Company, which breach, either individually or in the aggregate with other breaches by such Party, would result in, if occurring or continuing on the Closing Date, the failure of the conditions set forth in Section 7.02 or 7.03, as the case may be, and which is not cured within the earlier of (i) thirty (30) days following written notice to the Party committing such breach and (ii) the Outside Date or by its nature or timing cannot be cured within such time period;
(o)    by either the Company or Acquirer, if the approval of this Agreement by holders of Shares constituting the Requisite Shareholder Approval shall not have been obtained at the Shareholders Meeting or at any adjournment or postponement of the Shareholders Meeting taken in accordance with this Agreement;
(p)    by Acquirer, at any time prior to the time the Requisite Shareholder Approval is obtained, if (i) the Company Board shall have made a Change of Recommendation; (ii) the Company shall have materially violated Section 6.06, Section 6.07, Section 6.09 or Section 6.10; or (iii) at any time following receipt of an Acquisition Proposal, the Company Board shall have failed to reaffirm its approval or recommendation of this Agreement and the Merger as promptly as practicable (but in any event prior to the earlier of (x) within three Business Days after receipt of any written request to do so from Acquirer and (y) the date of the Shareholders Meeting).
The Party desiring to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.01 shall give written notice of such termination to the other Party in accordance with Section 9.04, specifying the provision or provisions hereof pursuant to which such termination is effected.
Section 8.02      Effect of Termination.
(h)    In the event of termination of this Agreement by either the Company or Acquirer as provided in Section 8.01, this Agreement shall forthwith become void and of no effect, and none of the Company, Acquirer, any of their respective Subsidiaries or any of the officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys or investment bankers of any of them shall have any liability of any nature whatsoever under this Agreement, or in connection with the transactions 

45

contemplated by this Agreement, except that (i) Sections 6.02(b), 8.02, 8.03, 9.03, 9.04, 9.05, 9.06, 9.08, 9.09, 9.13 and 9.14 shall survive any termination of this Agreement, and (ii) neither the Company nor Acquirer shall be relieved of or released from any liabilities or damages arising out of its knowing and intentional breach of any provision of this Agreement.

(j)    The Parties have determined that it would be too difficult to determine the damages that would be suffered by a Party in the event of a breach of this Agreement by the other.  Accordingly, the Parties hereby agree that a Party who properly terminates this Agreement on the basis of a material breach of this Agreement shall be entitled to obtain payment in the sum of $250,000 in immediately available funds within 48 hours of delivery of notice of such termination in the manner provided in Section 9.04.  The Parties further agree that receipt of such sum, plus any costs of collection (including reasonably attorneys’ fees) necessary to obtain payment of such sum, shall be the sole remedy of the non-breaching Party; provided, that nothing herein shall be deemed to prevent a non-breaching Party from seeking the remedy of specific performance as provided in Section 9.12.
Section 8.03      Fees and Expenses.  Costs and expenses of printing and mailing the Proxy Statement shall be the obligation of the Company.  All filing and other fees paid to the SEC in connection with the Merger and all professional fees related to such registration shall be the obligation of the Acquirer.  All other fees and expenses incurred in connection with the Merger, this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be paid by the Party incurring such fees or expenses, whether or not the Merger is consummated.
Section 8.04      Extension; Waiver.  At any time prior to the Effective Time, the Parties, 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 Party, (b) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties of the other Party contained in this Agreement or (c) waive compliance by the other Party with any of the agreements or conditions contained in this Agreement.  Any agreement on the part of a party to any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in a written instrument signed on behalf of such Party, but such extension or waiver or failure to insist on strict compliance with an obligation, covenant, agreement or condition shall not operate as a waiver of, or estoppel with respect to, any subsequent or other failure.
