AGREEMENT

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement, the parties hereby agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

THE MERGER

Section 1.1The Merger. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, at the Effective Time: (a) Merger Sub shall be merged with and into the Company and the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub shall thereupon cease, (b) the Company shall be the successor or surviving corporation in the Merger and shall continue to be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, and (c) the separate corporate existence of the Company with all its rights, privileges, immunities, powers and franchises shall continue unaffected by the Merger. The Merger shall have the effects set forth in the DGCL.

Section 1.2Closing. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Closing will take place at 10:00 a.m., local time, as promptly as practicable but in no event later than the second Business Day after the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the fulfillment or waiver of those conditions) set forth inArticle VI (the “Closing Date”), at the offices of Kirkland & Ellis LLP, 300 N. LaSalle Drive, Chicago, Illinois 60654, unless another time, date or place is agreed to in writing by the parties.

Section 1.3Effective Time. On the Closing Date and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Certificate of Merger shall be delivered for filing with the Delaware Secretary. The Merger shall become effective at the Effective Time. If the Delaware Secretary requires any changes in the Certificate of Merger as a condition to filing or issuing a certificate to the effect that the Merger is effective, the Company shall execute any necessary revisions incorporating such changes, provided such changes are not inconsistent with and do not result in any material change in the terms of this Agreement.

Section 1.4Conversion of the Shares. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or the holders of any of the following securities:

(a) Except as provided inSection 1.4(d), each share of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (excluding Dissenter Shares) shall by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder thereof be converted automatically into the right to receive $5.35 in cash, without interest (the “Merger Consideration”). All such shares of Company Common Stock, when so converted, shall no longer be outstanding and each holder of a certificate

theretofore representing such shares of Company Common Stock shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the Merger Consideration into which such shares of Company Common Stock have been converted, as provided herein.

(b) Each share of Company Common Stock that is owned by the Company (or any Subsidiary of the Company) as treasury stock or otherwise and each share of Company Common Stock owned by Parent shall be canceled and retired and cease to exist and no payment or distribution shall be made with respect thereto.

(c) Each share of common stock of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and become one validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Surviving Corporation.

(d) If between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock shall have been changed into a different number of shares or a different class, solely by reason of any stock dividend, subdivision, reclassification, recapitalization, split, reverse split, combination or exchange of shares or any other similar transaction, the Merger Consideration shall be correspondingly adjusted to reflect such stock dividend, subdivision, reclassification, recapitalization, split, reverse split, combination or exchange of shares or any other similar transaction and to provide to the holders of Company Common Stock the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such action.

Section 1.5Organizational Documents.

(a) At the Effective Time, the Certificate of Incorporation of the Company shall be amended in its entirety to read as set forth onExhibit E hereto and as so amended shall be the Certificate of Incorporation of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter amended in accordance with its terms and as provided by Law.

(b) At the Effective Time, the Bylaws of Merger Sub as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation (except that all references to Merger Sub in the Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation shall be amended to refer to “AMICAS, Inc.”). Thereafter, as so amended, the Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation may be amended or repealed in accordance with their terms and the Certificate of Incorporation of the Surviving Corporation and as provided by Law.

Section 1.6Directors and Officers of the Surviving Corporation. The Company shall cause to be delivered to Parent, at Closing, resignations of all the directors of the Company to be effective upon the consummation of the Merger. At the Effective Time, the directors and officers of Merger Sub shall be the directors and officers of the Surviving Corporation, and such directors and officers shall hold office in accordance with and subject to the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation.

Section 1.7Company Options and Stock-Based Awards.

(a)Equity Award Waivers. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall use its best efforts to obtain all necessary waivers, consents or releases, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Parent, from holders of Company Common Stock Options and other equity awards under the Company Option Plans and take all such other action, without incurring any liabilities in connection therewith, as Parent may deem to be necessary to give effect to the transactions contemplated by thisSection 1.7, including, but not limited to, satisfaction of the requirements of Rule 16b-3(e) under the Exchange Act. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company Board of Directors (or, if appropriate, any committee thereof administering the Company Option Plans) shall adopt such resolutions or take such other actions as are required to give effect to the transactions contemplated by thisSection 1.7.

(b)Termination of Company Option Plans. Except as otherwise agreed to by the parties, (i) the Company Option Plans shall terminate as of the Effective Time and the provisions in any other plan, program or arrangement providing for the issuance or grant of any other interest in respect of the capital stock of the Company or any Subsidiary thereof shall be canceled as of the Effective Time and (ii) the Company shall ensure that following the Effective Time no participant in the Company Option Plans or other plans, programs or arrangements shall have any right thereunder to acquire any equity securities of the Company, the Surviving Corporation or any Subsidiary thereof.

(c)Company Common Stock Options. At the Effective Time, each then-outstanding Company Common Stock Option, whether vested or unvested, shall be cancelled in accordance with the terms of the applicable Company Option Plan. It is the intent of the parties that the cancellation of a Company Common Stock Option as provided in the immediately preceding sentence shall be deemed a full and complete satisfaction of any and all rights the holder thereof had or may have had in respect of such Company Common Stock Option. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall deliver to the holders of Company Common Stock Options notices, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Parent, setting forth such holders’ rights pursuant to this Agreement.

(d)Employee Stock Purchase Plan. As soon as practicable following the date of this Agreement, the Company Board of Directors (or, if appropriate, any committee administering the Company’s 2007 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, dated as of August 1, 2007 (the “ESPP”)) shall adopt such resolutions or take such other actions as may be required to provide that, with respect to the ESPP: (i) each individual participating in the Offering (as defined in the ESPP) in progress as of the date of this Agreement (the “Final Offering”) shall not be permitted (x) to increase the amount of his or her rate of payroll contributions thereunder from the rate in effect when the Final Offering commenced, or (y) to make separate non-payroll contributions to the ESPP on or following the date of this Agreement; (ii) no individual who is not participating in the ESPP as of the date of this Agreement may commence participation in the ESPP following the date of this Agreement; (iii) the Final Offering shall end on the earlier to occur of January 31, 2010 and a date that is ten (10) calendar days prior to the Effective Time; (iv) each ESPP participant’s accumulated contributions under the ESPP shall be used to purchase shares of Company Common Stock in accordance with the terms of the ESPP as of the end of

the Final Offering; and (v) the ESPP shall terminate immediately following the end of the Final Offering and no further rights shall be granted or exercised under the ESPP thereafter. All shares of Company Common Stock purchased in the Final Offering shall be cancelled at the Effective Time and converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

(e)Company Restricted Stock. At the Effective Time, each share of Company Restricted Stock, whether vested or unvested, that is outstanding immediately prior thereto shall become fully vested and all restrictions and repurchase rights thereon shall lapse and shall be converted automatically into the right to receive at the Effective Time an amount in cash in U.S. dollars equal to the product of (a) the total number of such shares of Company Restricted Stock and (b) the Merger Consideration.

Section 1.8Dissenter Shares. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if any Dissenting Stockholder shall demand to be paid the “fair value” of its Dissenter Shares, as provided in Section 262 of the DGCL, such Dissenter Shares shall not be converted into or exchangeable for the right to receive the Merger Consideration (except as provided in thisSection 1.8) and shall entitle such Dissenting Stockholder only to payment of the fair value of such Dissenter Shares, in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL, unless and until such Dissenting Stockholder withdraws (in accordance with Section 262(k) of the DGCL) or effectively loses the right to dissent. The Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of Parent, voluntarily make (or cause or permit to be made on its behalf) any payment with respect to, or settle or offer to settle, any such demand for payment of fair value of Dissenter Shares prior to the Effective Time. The Company shall give Parent prompt notice of any such demands prior to the Effective Time and Parent shall have the right to participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to any such demands. If any Dissenting Stockholder shall have effectively withdrawn (in accordance with Section 262(k) of the DGCL) or lost the right to dissent, then as of the later of the Effective Time or the occurrence of such event, the Dissenter Shares held by such Dissenting Stockholder shall be converted into and represent the right to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant toSection 1.8.

ARTICLE II

EXCHANGE OF CERTIFICATES

Section 2.1Paying Agent. At the Closing, Parent shall deposit, or shall cause to be deposited, with a bank or trust company designated by Parent and reasonably satisfactory to the Company (the “Paying Agent”), for the benefit of the holders of shares of Company Common Stock, for exchange in accordance with thisArticle II, through the Paying Agent, cash in U.S. dollars in an amount sufficient to pay the aggregate amount of the Merger Consideration (such cash being hereinafter referred to as the “Exchange Fund”) payable pursuant toArticle I in exchange for outstanding shares of Company Common Stock (but not, for the avoidance of doubt, for payments in respect of Company Common Stock Options, which Parent shall pay, or cause the Surviving Corporation to pay through its payroll system, to the holders of Company Common Stock Options in accordance withSection 1.7(c)). In the event that the Surviving Corporation has insufficient cash to make such payments for the Company Common Stock Options, Parent shall pay such amounts or provide to the Surviving Corporation sufficient cash

to pay such amounts. The Paying Agent shall deliver the Merger Consideration contemplated to be paid pursuant toArticle I in exchange for outstanding shares of Company Common Stock out of the Exchange Fund. The Exchange Fund shall be invested by the Paying Agent as directed by Parent;provided,however, that: (i) no such investment or losses thereon shall affect the Merger Consideration payable to the holders of Company Common Stock; and (ii) such investments shall be in obligations of or guaranteed by the United States of America or any agency or instrumentality thereof and backed by the full faith and credit of the United States of America, in commercial paper obligations rated A-1 or P-1 or better by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. or Standard & Poor’s Corporation, respectively, or in certificates of deposit, bank repurchase agreements or banker’s acceptances of commercial banks with capital exceeding $1 billion (based on the most recent financial statements of such bank that are then publicly available). Any net profit resulting from, or interest or income produced by, such investments shall be payable to the Surviving Corporation or Parent, and any amounts in excess of the amounts payable pursuant toArticle I shall be promptly returned to the Surviving Corporation or Parent, in each case as directed by Parent. The Exchange Fund shall not be used for any other purpose.

Section 2.2Exchange Procedures.

(a)Exchange of Certificates. Promptly following the Effective Time (but in no event later than three (3) Business Days following the Effective Time), Parent shall cause the Paying Agent to mail to each holder of record of a Certificate or Certificates which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding shares of Company Common Stock (the “Certificates”, it being understood that any references herein to “Certificates” shall be deemed to include references to book-entry account statements relating to the ownership of shares of Company Common Stock) and whose shares of Company Common Stock have been converted into the right to receive Merger Consideration pursuant toArticle I (i) a letter of transmittal in customary form (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon proper delivery of the Certificates, or appropriate affidavits of loss in lieu thereof as provided below, to the Paying Agent) and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates in exchange for the Merger Consideration. Upon surrender of a Certificate for cancellation (or, subject toSection 2.6 below, an appropriate affidavit of loss in lieu thereof) to the Paying Agent together with such letter of transmittal, properly completed and duly executed, and such other documents as may be reasonably required pursuant to such instructions (or, if such shares are held in book-entry or other uncertificated form, upon the entry through a book-entry transfer agent of the surrender of such shares on a book-entry account statement), the holder of such Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor the Merger Consideration which such holder has the right to receive in respect of the shares of Company Common Stock formerly represented by such Certificate, and the Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled. No interest will be paid or accrued on any Merger Consideration payable to holders of Certificates. In the event of a transfer of ownership of shares of Company Common Stock which is not registered in the transfer records of the Company, the Merger Consideration may be issued to a transferee if the Certificate representing such shares of Company Common Stock is presented to the Paying Agent, accompanied by all documents required to evidence and effect such transfer and by evidence that any applicable stock transfer Taxes have been paid. Until surrendered as contemplated by

thisArticle II, each Certificate shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive upon such surrender the Merger Consideration or the right to demand to be paid the “fair value” of the shares represented thereby as contemplated byArticle I.

(b)Special Payment Procedures for DTC. Prior to the Effective Time, Parent and the Company shall cooperate to establish procedures with the Paying Agent and the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) to ensure that (x) if the Closing occurs at or prior to 11:30 am (New York time) on the Closing Date, the Paying Agent will transmit to DTC or its nominee on the Closing Date an amount in cash in immediately available funds equal to number of Shares held of record by DTC or such nominee immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by the Per Share Merger Consideration (such amount, the “DTC Payment”), and (y) if the Closing occurs after 11:30 am (New York time) on the Closing Date, the Paying Agent will transmit to DTC or its nominee on the first business day after the Closing Date an amount in cash in immediately available funds equal to the DTC Payment.

Section 2.3Further Rights in Company Common Stock. All Merger Consideration paid in accordance with the terms hereof shall be deemed to have been issued in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such shares of Company Common Stock.

Section 2.4Termination of Exchange Fund. Any portion of the Exchange Fund which remains undistributed to the former holders of Company Common Stock twelve (12) months after the Effective Time shall be delivered to the Surviving Corporation upon demand, and any former holders of Company Common Stock who have not theretofore complied with thisArticle II shall thereafter look only to the Surviving Corporation for the Merger Consideration, without any interest thereon.

Section 2.5No Liability. None of Parent, the Company or the Surviving Corporation shall be liable to any holder of shares of Company Common Stock for any cash from the Exchange Fund required to be delivered, to the extent so delivered, to a public official pursuant to any abandoned property, escheat or similar Law.

Section 2.6Lost, Stolen or Destroyed 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 required by Parent, the posting by such Person of a bond, in reasonable and customary amount, as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate, the Paying Agent will issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate the Merger Consideration without any interest thereon.

Section 2.7No Further Dividends. No dividends or other distributions with respect to capital stock of the Surviving Corporation with a record date on or after the Effective Time shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Certificates.

Section 2.8Withholding of Tax. Parent, the Surviving Corporation, any Affiliate thereof or the Paying Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration

otherwise payable to pursuant to this Agreement to any holder of shares of Company Common Stock and or Company Common Stock Options such amount as Parent, the Surviving Corporation, any Affiliate thereof or the Paying Agent 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 amounts are so withheld by the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent, such withheld amounts shall be (a) paid over to the applicable Governmental Entity in accordance with applicable Law or Order and (b) treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the former holder of a Certificate or Company Common Stock Option in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.

ARTICLE III

Section 4.5Availability of Funds.

(a) Parent has provided the Company with true and complete copies of (i) the commitment letter, dated as of the date hereof, from Wells Fargo Foothill, LLC and Bank of Montreal (the “Debt Financing Commitment”), regarding the amounts set forth therein for the purposes of financing the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement and related fees and expenses (the “Debt Financing”), (ii) the Equity Commitment Letters (together with the Debt Financing Commitment, the “Financing Commitments”), regarding the proposed equity investments set forth therein (the “Equity Financing” and together with the Debt Financing, the “Financing”). The Financing Commitments are in full force and effect as of the date hereof and are the legal, valid and binding obligations of Parent and Merger Sub and, to the Knowledge of Parent, of the other parties thereto, in accordance with the terms and conditions thereof, subject to the

Bankruptcy and Equity Exception. Assuming only that the Equity Financing is funded, Parent and Merger Sub will have at and after the Closing funds sufficient to pay all of the amounts payable underArticle I of this Agreement or otherwise in connection with or as a result of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby and all fees and expenses associated therewith. Each Equity Commitment Letter has not been amended or modified, and the commitments set forth in each Equity Commitment Letter has not been withdrawn or rescinded in any respect. Each Equity Commitment Letter, in the form so delivered to the Company on the date hereof, is in full force and effect. There are no conditions precedent or other contingencies related to the funding of the full amount of the Equity Financing at Closing hereunder other than the conditions to Closing set forth herein. No event has occurred which, with or without notice, lapse of time or both, would constitute a default or breach on the part of Parent or Merger Sub under any term or condition of the Financing Commitments. Neither Parent nor Merger Sub has any reason to believe that any of the conditions to the Equity Financing will not be satisfied or that the Equity Financing will not be available to Parent and Merger Sub on the date of the Closing. Parent has fully paid any and all commitment and other fees that have been incurred and are due and payable on or prior to the date hereof in connection with each Equity Commitment Letter. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Parent’s obligation to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby is not contingent on Parent’s ability to obtain any financing prior to consummating the Merger.

(b) The following provision is not intended to imply that the Debt Financing is a condition to consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby. The Debt Financing Commitment may, in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, be superseded at the option of Parent after the date of this Agreement but prior to the Effective Time by instruments (the “Alternative Financing Commitments”) replacing the then existing Debt Financing Commitment, provided that any Alternative Financing Commitment shall be on terms that are no less favorable, in the aggregate, to Parent (as determined in the reasonable judgment of Parent) than the terms of the Debt Financing Commitment such Alternative Financing Commitment is replacing. In such event, (x) the term “Financing Commitments” as used herein shall be deemed to include the Financing Commitments that are not so superseded at the time in question and the Alternative Financing Commitments to the extent then in effect, and (y) the term “Debt Financing” as used herein shall mean the debt financing contemplated by the Financing Commitments as modified pursuant to the foregoing clause (x).

Section 4.6Guarantees. The Sponsors have delivered the Guarantees to the Company. Each Guarantee is in full force and effect and no event has occurred which, with or without notice, lapse of time or both, would constitute a default or breach on the part of either Parent or a Sponsor under any term or condition of any Guarantee.

Section 4.7Brokers. No broker, finder or investment banker is entitled to any brokerage, finder’s or other fee or commission in connection with this Agreement, the Merger or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement based upon arrangements made by or on behalf of Parent or Merger Sub or any of their respective directors, officers or employees, for which the Company may become liable.

Neither the written information supplied, or to be supplied, by or on behalf of Parent or Merger Sub for inclusion in the Proxy Statement or any other documents to be filed by Parent, Merger Sub or the Company with the SEC or any other Governmental Entity in connection with the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby, will, on the date of its filing or, in the case of the Proxy Statement, at the date it is mailed to Company Common Stockholders and at the time of the Company Common Stockholders Meeting, 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. If at any time prior to the Effective Time any event with respect to Parent or Merger Sub shall occur which is required to be described in the Proxy Statement, Parent shall promptly disclose such event to the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Parent makes no representation or warranty with respect to any information supplied by the Company that is contained in any of the foregoing documents.

Section 4.11Solvency. As of the Effective Time and immediately after giving effect to all of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the Merger and all payments contemplated by this Agreement in connection with the Merger (including payment of all amounts payable under Article I of this Agreement in connection with or as a result of the Merger) and payment of all related fees and expenses of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company and their respective Subsidiaries in connection therewith, and assuming the accuracy as of the Effective Time in all material respects of those representations and warranties of the Company set forth inArticle III that relate to the subject matter of clauses (i) through (iii) of thisSection 4.11 (includingSection 3.8): (i) the amount of the “fair saleable value” of the assets of each of the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries will exceed (A) the value of all liabilities of the Surviving Corporation and such Subsidiaries, including contingent and other liabilities, and (B) the amount that will be required to pay the probable liabilities of the Surviving Corporation and such Subsidiaries on their existing debts as such debts become absolute and matured, (ii) each of the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries will not have an unreasonably small amount of capital for the operation of the businesses in which it is engaged or proposed to be engaged, and (iii) each of the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries will be able to pay its liabilities, including contingent and other liabilities, as they mature. For purposes of the foregoing, “not have an unreasonably small amount of capital for the operation of the businesses in which it is

engaged or proposed to be engaged” and “able to pay its liabilities, including contingent and other liabilities, as they mature” means that such Person will be able to generate enough cash from operations, asset dispositions or refinancing, or a combination thereof, to meet its obligations as they become due.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, at any time prior to obtaining the Company Required Vote, (i) the Company Board (or any committee thereof) may effect a Company Adverse Recommendation Change if the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that the failure to do so is reasonably likely to violate the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable laws, and (ii) if the Company has received a written Acquisition Proposal from any Person that is not withdrawn and that the Company Board of Directors concludes constitutes a Superior Proposal, the Company Board of Directors may authorize the Company to terminate this Agreement to enter into an Acquisition Agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal, provided, however, that the Company may take the action provided for in this clause (ii), if and only if:

(A) the Company shall have complied with its obligations under thisSection 5.6 in all material respects;

(C) prior to effecting such termination, the Company shall, and shall cause their financial and legal advisors to, during the Notice Period, negotiate with Parent and the Parent Representatives in good faith (to the extent Parent desires to negotiate) to make such adjustments in the terms and conditions of this Agreement, so that such Acquisition Proposal would cease to constitute a Superior Proposal;provided, that in the event of any material revisions to the Acquisition Proposal that the Company Board of Directors has determined to be a Superior Proposal, the Company shall be required to deliver a new written notice to Parent and to comply with the requirements of thisSection 5.6 (including thisSection 5.6(e)) with respect to such new written notice;provided,further, that if (x) the Notice Period with respect to an Acquisition Proposal commences five (5) or more Business Days prior to the No-Shop Period Start Date and (y) the Company is unable to validly terminate this Agreement in accordance withSection 7.1(e) prior to the No-Shop Period Start Date in order to enter into an Acquisition Agreement with respect to such Acquisition Proposal due to the requirement in thisSection 5.6(e) to deliver one or more new written notices to Parent due to material revisions to such Acquisition Proposal (including revisions in response to changes in this Agreement proposed by Parent), then solely for purposes of determining the amount of the Company Termination Fee payable underSection 7.2(b), the Company shall be deemed to have entered into the Acquisition Agreement with respect to such Acquisition Proposal prior to the No-Shop Period Start Date.

(f) Nothing contained in thisSection 5.6 shall be deemed to prohibit the Company or the Company Board of Directors from (i) complying with its disclosure obligations under U.S. federal or state Law with regard to an Acquisition Proposal, including taking and disclosing to its shareholders a position contemplated by Rule 14d-9 or Rule 14e-2(a) under the Exchange Act (or any similar communication to stockholders), or (ii) making any “stop-look-and-listen” communication or similar communication of the type contemplated by Rule 14d-9(f) under the Exchange Act.

Neither Parent, Merger Sub nor any Sponsor shall communicate with any Person who has made an Acquisition Proposal with respect to such Acquisition Proposal or any related matter during the term of this Agreement.

Section 5.8Litigation. Each of Parent, Merger Sub and the Company agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to defend any lawsuits or other legal proceedings, whether judicial or administrative, challenging, or seeking damages or other relief as a result of, the Merger, this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, including seeking to have any Order adversely affecting the ability of the parties to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents entered by any court or other Governmental Entity promptly vacated or reversed.

Section 5.9Directors’ and Officers’ Indemnification and Insurance.

(a) For a period of six years from and after the Effective Time, Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall indemnify, advance expenses to, and hold harmless all past and present officers and directors of the Company (“Indemnified Persons”) to the fullest extent permitted by law and the same extent and in the same manner such persons are indemnified as of the date of this Agreement by the Company pursuant to the DGCL, the Company Certificate of Incorporation and the Company Bylaws for acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Effective Time; provided, however, in the case of advancement of expenses, any person to whom expenses are advanced provides an undertaking, to the extent required by the DGCL, to repay such advance if it is ultimately determined that such person is not entitled to indemnification. The Certificate of Incorporation and the Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation will contain provisions with respect to exculpation, advancement and indemnification that are at least as favorable to the Indemnified Persons as those contained in the Company Certificate of Incorporation and the Company Bylaws as in effect on the date hereof, which provisions will not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified for a period of not less than six years from the Effective Time in any manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of individuals who, immediately prior to the Effective Time, were directors, officers, employees or agents of the Company, unless such a modification is required by Law.

(b) The Company shall negotiate and purchase “tail” insurance coverage from the Company’s existing directors and officers liability insurers, or from other insurers, that provides for a period of six (6) years that is no less favorable in both amount and

terms and conditions of coverage than the Company’s existing directors and officers liability insurance programs, or if substantially equivalent insurance coverage is not available, the best available coverage (“D&O Insurance”); provided however that the aggregate cost for the purchase of such D&O Insurance (for the entire six (6) year tail coverage period) shall not exceed more than 250% of the aggregate premium paid by the Company for the existing directors and officers liability and fiduciary liability insurance program, provided, further, that should the cost of D&O Insurance exceed the 250% cap, the Company shall instead purchase the best available coverage for 250% of the aggregate premium paid by the Company for the existing directors and officers liability and fiduciary liability insurance program.

(c) If the Surviving Corporation or any of its successors or assigns shall (i) consolidate with or merge into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger, or (ii) transfer all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, proper provisions shall be made so that the successors and assigns of the Surviving Corporation shall assume all of the obligations of the Surviving Corporation set forth in this Section 5.9.

(d) The obligations set forth in thisSection 5.9 shall not be terminated, amended or otherwise modified in any manner that adversely affects any Indemnified Person or any other person who is a beneficiary under the D&O Insurance (and their heirs and representatives) without the prior written consent of such affected Indemnified Person or other person who is a beneficiary under the D&O Insurance (and their heirs and representatives). Each of the Indemnified Persons or other persons who are beneficiaries under the D&O Insurance (and their heirs and representatives) are intended to be third party beneficiaries of thisSection 5.9, with full rights of enforcement against the Surviving Corporation and Parent as if a party thereto. The rights of the Indemnified Persons and other persons who are beneficiaries under the D&O Insurance (and their heirs and representatives) under thisSection 5.9 shall be in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other rights that such persons may have under the charters, bylaws or other equivalent organizational documents, any and all indemnification agreements of or entered into by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or applicable law (whether at law or in equity).

(e) Nothing in this Agreement is intended to, shall be construed to or shall release, waive or impair any rights to directors’ and officers’ insurance claims under any policy that is or has been in existence with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for any of their respective directors, officers or other employees, it being understood and agreed that the indemnification provided for in thisSection 5.9 is not prior to or in substitution for any such claims under such policies.

The Company and Parent shall cooperate in the preparation, execution and filing of all returns, questionnaires, applications or other documents regarding any real property transfer or gains, sales, use, transfer, value added, stock transfer and stamp taxes, any transfer, recording, registration and other fees, and any similar taxes which

become payable in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement that are required or permitted to be filed on or before the Effective Time.

Section 5.11Delisting. Each of the parties agrees to cooperate with each other in taking, or causing to be taken, all actions necessary to delist the Company Common Stock from Nasdaq and terminate registration under the Exchange Act, provided that such delisting and termination shall not be effective until or after the Effective Time.

Section 5.12Financing.

(a) Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts to (a) negotiate definitive agreements with respect to the Debt Financing on the terms and conditions contemplated by the Financing Commitments or, to the extent the Debt Financing contemplated by the Financing Commitments is not available to Parent, on other terms not materially less favorable, in the aggregate, to Parent (as determined in the reasonable judgment of Parent) and (b) satisfy on a timely basis all conditions set forth in such Debt Financing Commitments applicable to Parent and Merger Sub that are within their control. If any portion of the Debt Financing becomes unavailable on the terms and conditions contemplated in the Debt Financing Commitments, Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts to arrange to obtain alternative financing from alternative sources on terms not materially less favorable, in the aggregate, to Parent (as determined in the reasonable judgment of Parent) as promptly as practicable following the occurrence of such event; provided that consummating the Debt Financing is not a condition to closing and Parent shall drawdown each Equity Commitment in full and without condition in order to close the transactions contemplated hereby if the Debt Financing is not available. Parent shall give the Company prompt notice of any material breach by any party to the Financing Commitments, of which Parent becomes aware, or any termination of the Debt Financing Commitment. The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate, and to cause its Subsidiaries and Representatives to cooperate, with Parent and Representatives of Parent in connection with the Financing.

(b) Parent and Merger Sub shall take (or cause to be taken) all actions, and do (or cause to be done) all things necessary or advisable to obtain the Equity Financing contemplated by each Equity Commitment and to fully enforce each Equity Commitment, including but not limited to (i) maintaining in effect each Equity Commitment without any amendment, alteration, or waiver, (ii) satisfying on a timely basis all conditions applicable to Parent and Merger Sub set forth in each Equity Commitments and (iii) consummating the Equity Financing contemplated by each Equity Commitment Letter at or prior to the Closing (and in any event prior to the Outside Termination Date).

those provided by the Company and its Subsidiaries to its employees as of the Effective Time.

(c) Nothing in thisSection 5.13 or any other provision of this Agreement shall create any third-party beneficiary right for the benefit of any Person other than the parties to this Agreement, or any right to employment or continued employment or to a particular term or condition of employment with Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective Subsidiaries or Affiliates. Nothing in thisSection 5.13 or any other provision of this Agreement (i) shall be construed to establish, amend, or modify any benefit or compensation plan, program, agreement or arrangement, or (ii) shall limit the ability of Parent or any of its Affiliates (including, following the Closing, the Surviving Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries) to amend, modify or terminate any benefit or compensation plan, program, agreement or arrangement at any time assumed, established, sponsored or maintained by any of them.

In the event this Agreement is terminated pursuant toSections 7.1(c),7.1(e)(iii) or7.1(g) under circumstances in which the Company Termination Fee is not then payable pursuant toSection 7.2(b), then the Company shall, following receipt of an invoice therefor, promptly (in any event within two (2) Business Days) pay all of Parent’s reasonably documented out-of-pocket fees and expenses (including reasonable legal fees and expenses) incurred by Parent and its Affiliates on or prior to the termination of this Agreement in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including the Financing) in an amount not to exceed $2,000,000 (the “Parent Expenses”), by wire transfer of same day funds to one or more accounts designated by Parent;provided, that the existence of circumstances which could require the Company Termination Fee to become subsequently payable by the Company pursuant toSection 7.2(b) shall not relieve the Company of its obligations to pay the Parent Expenses pursuant to thisSection 7.2(c);provided,further, that the payment by the Company of Parent Expenses pursuant to thisSection 7.2(c) shall not relieve the Company of any subsequent obligation to pay the Company Termination Fee pursuant toSection 7.2(b) except to the extent indicated inSection 7.2(b); provided, further, that the Company shall not be obligated to pay any Parent Expenses if as of the date of termination any condition set forth inSection 6.3(a) or (b) would not be satisfied.

while negotiating this Agreement and in reliance on this Agreement and on the expectation of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, and (iii) without the agreements contained in thisSection 7.2, the parties would not have entered into this Agreement.

Section 7.3Effect of Termination. In the event of termination of this Agreement by either the Company or Parent as provided inSection 7.1, this Agreement shall forthwith become void and have no effect, without any liability or obligation on the part of Parent and Merger Sub or the Company, except that (a) the provisions ofSection 7.1,Section 7.2, thisSection 7.3 andArticle VIII shall survive such termination and (b) nothing herein shall relieve any party from liability for specific performance or damages for any material breach of this Agreement or for fraud in connection with this Agreement.

Section 7.4Amendment. This Agreement may be amended by the parties in writing at any time before or after the Company Required Vote has been obtained and prior to the filing of the Certificate of Merger with the Delaware Secretary;provided,however, that, after the Company Required Vote shall have been obtained, no such amendment, modification or supplement shall be made which by Law requires the further approval of the Company Common Stockholders without such further approval. This Agreement may not be amended, changed or supplemented or otherwise modified except by an instrument in writing signed on behalf of all of the parties.

Section 7.5Extension; Waiver. At any time prior to the Effective Time, each of the Company, Parent and Merger Sub may (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 in any document delivered pursuant to this Agreement, or (c) subject to the provisions ofSection 7.4, waive compliance with any of the agreements or conditions of the other parties 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 an instrument in writing signed on behalf of such party.
