THE MERGER

     Section 1.1. The Merger.

     (a) Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, at the Effective
Time (as hereinafter defined), CSA shall be merged with and into the Merger Sub in accordance
with the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act (the
“Delaware Act”) and the [   ]
Act of the State of North Carolina (the “North Carolina Act”), whereupon the separate
company existence of CSA shall cease and the Merger Sub shall be the surviving company in the

Accordingly, from and after the Effective Time, the Surviving Company shall possess all the
rights, privileges, powers and franchises and be subject to all of the restrictions,
disabilities, liabilities and duties of the Merger Sub and CSA.

     (c) At the option of CSI, the Merger may be structured so that CSA shall be merged with and into
another direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of CSI, which may be a corporation, limited
liability company or other entity as determined by CSI, with such other subsidiary of CSI
continuing as the surviving company, and each of CSI, the Merger Sub, CSA and such other
subsidiary shall execute an appropriate amendment to this Agreement in order to reflect such
restructuring; provided however, that such restructuring shall not affect the economic rights
of the parties hereto and, provided further, that such other subsidiary is treated as a
disregarded entity of CSI within the meaning of Treasury Regulation 1.368-2T(b)(1)(I)(A).

of Delaware of the Certificate of Merger and the acceptance for filing by the Secretary of State of
the State of North Carolina of the Articles of Merger (the “Effective Time”).

     Section 1.3. Tax Treatment. The parties intend that the Merger qualify as a reorganization
within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
“Code”), and the parties hereto agree not to take any position for U.S. federal income tax
purposes inconsistent with such intended treatment.

     Section 1.4. Certificate of Formation and Bylaws. The certificate of formation (the
“Certificate of Formation”) and the Limited Liability Company Agreement (the “Operating
Agreement”) of the Merger Sub, as set forth in Exhibits A and B hereto, shall

their respective successors are duly elected or appointed and qualified in the manner provided in
the Certificate of Formation and the Operating Agreement of the Surviving Company, or as otherwise
provided by law.

     Section 1.7. Additional Actions. If, at any time after the Effective Time, the Surviving
Company determines that any deeds, bills of sale, assignments, assurances or any other acts or
things are necessary or desirable (a) to vest, perfect or confirm, of record or otherwise, in the
Surviving Company, its right, title or interest in, to or under any of the rights, properties or
assets of CSA by reason of, or as a result of, the Merger, or (b) otherwise to carry out the
purposes of this Agreement, the Managing Member of the Surviving Company shall be authorized to
execute and deliver, in the name and on behalf of CSA, all such deeds, bills of sale, assignments
and assurances and to do, in the name and on behalf of CSA, all such other acts and things

ARTICLE
III

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

     Section 3.1. Representations and Warranties of CSA. CSA represents and warrants to the
Merger Sub and CSI as follows:

     (a) Organization, Standing and Corporate Power of CSA. CSA is a corporation organized
and validly existing under the laws of the State of North Carolina and has the requisite corporate
power and authority to carry on its business as now being conducted. CSA is duly qualified to do
business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the nature of its business makes
such qualification necessary, other than in such jurisdictions where the failure to be so
qualified, individually or in the aggregate, would not have a material adverse effect on the
business, properties, financial condition, results of operation or prospects of CSA (a “CSA
Material Adverse Effect”).

     (b) Capital
Structure. On the date of this Agreement, CSA has 300 shares of common
stock outstanding and 100,000 shares of common stock reserved for issuance. As of the date of this
Agreement, there are no outstanding securities, options, warrants, calls, rights, commitments,
agreements, arrangements or undertakings of any kind to which CSA is a party or by which such
entity is bound, obligating CSA to issue, deliver or sell, or cause to be issued, delivered or
sold, any shares of common stock or other ownership interests of CSA or obligating CSA to issue,
grant, extend or enter into any such security, option, warrant, call, right, commitment, agreement,
arrangement or undertaking (other than to CSA).

     (c) Authority; Noncontravention. CSA has the requisite corporate power and authority
to enter into this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
The execution and delivery of this Agreement by CSA and the consummation by CSA of the transactions
contemplated hereby and thereby have been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of
CSA. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by CSA and constitutes the valid and
binding obligation of CSA and is enforceable against CSA in accordance with its terms. The
execution and delivery of this Agreement by CSA does not, and the consummation of the transactions
contemplated hereby and compliance by CSA with the provisions of this Agreement does not and will
not, conflict with, or result in any violation of, or default (with or without notice or lapse of
time, or both) under, or give rise to a right of termination, cancellation or acceleration of any
obligation or to loss of a material benefit under, or result in the creation of any lien upon any
of the properties or assets of CSA under the articles of incorporation of CSA.

     (d) Litigation. There is no suit, action or proceeding pending or, to the knowledge of
CSA, threatened against or affecting CSA that, individually or in the aggregate, could
reasonably be expected to (i) have a CSA Material Adverse Effect or (ii) prevent the
consummation of any of the transactions contemplated herein, nor is there any judgment,
decree, injunction, rule or order of governmental entity or arbitrator outstanding against CSA
having, or which, insofar as reasonably can be foreseen, in the future would have, any such
effect.

     (e) Brokers; Schedule of Fees and Expenses. No broker, investment banker, financial
advisor or other person is entitled to any broker’s, finder’s financial advisor’s or other
similar fee or commission in connection with the Merger or based upon arrangements made by or
on behalf of CSA.

ARTICLE
IV

MISCELLANEOUS

Board of Directors of CSI, Managing Member of the Merger Sub or the Board of Directors of CSA at
any time prior to the Effective Time, whether before or after approval by the sole member of the
Merger Sub and the shareholders of CSA.

     Section 4.2. Approval. The respective obligation of each party to effect the Merger is
subject to adoption by the requisite vote of the shareholders of CSA and the sole member of the
Merger Sub pursuant to the Delaware Act and the North Carolina Act, as applicable.

     Section 4.3. Amendments. This Agreement may only be amended in accordance with Section
1.1(c) hereof and may not be amended in any other manner.

     Section 4.4. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and
by the different parties on separate counterparts, and each such counterpart shall be deemed to be
an original but all such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same Agreement.

     Section 4.5. Entire Agreement; No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement and the other
agreements entered into in connection with the transactions (a) constitute the entire agreement and
supersede all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, between the parties with
respect to the subject matter of this Agreement and (b) except for the provisions of Section 3.1
are not intended to confer upon any person other than the parties hereto any rights or remedies.

     Section 4.6.
GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO CONFLICTS OF LAWS
PRINCIPLES THEREOF.
