WHEREAS, the Purchaser Board and the Parent Board have approved the Offer and the Merger and adopted this Agreement, in accordance with the OBCA, and upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, whereby each of the issued and outstanding Common Shares not owned directly or indirectly by Parent, the Purchaser or the Company will be converted into the right to receive the Offer Price in cash; and

ARTICLE ONE

THE OFFER

SECTION 1.1The Offer.

(a) Provided that this Agreement shall not have been terminated in accordance with Article Eight hereof as promptly as reasonably practicable, and in any event within seven (7) Business Days, following execution of this Agreement, Parent (i) shall cause the Purchaser to commence (within the meaning of Rule 14d-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (including the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, the “Exchange Act”)) an offer to purchase all of the outstanding Common Shares at the Offer Price; (ii) shall, upon commencement of the Offer but after affording the Company a reasonable opportunity to review and comment thereon, file a Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO and all other necessary documents with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and make all deliveries, mailings and telephonic notices required by Rule 14d-3 under the Exchange Act, in each case in connection with the Offer (the “Offer Documents”); and (iii) shall use its reasonable best efforts to consummate the Offer, subject to the terms and conditions thereof. The obligation of the Purchaser to accept for payment or pay for any Common Shares validly tendered and not validly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer will be subject only to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Annex I hereto.

(b) Parent on behalf of the Purchaser expressly reserves the right from time to time subject to Section 1.1(c), to waive any of the Tender Offer Conditions (other than the Minimum Condition (as defined in Annex I hereto)) or to increase the Offer Price or to make any other changes in the terms and conditions of the Offer;providedthat, without the prior written consent of the Company, the Purchaser shall not decrease the Offer Price, change the form of consideration payable in the Offer, decrease the number of Common Shares sought to be purchased in the Offer, impose additional conditions to the Offer or amend any other term of the Offer in any manner adverse to the holders of Common Shares. The Offer shall remain open until the date that is twenty (20) Business Days (as such term is defined in Rule 14d-1(g)(3) under the Exchange Act) after (and including the day of) the commencement of the Offer (the “Expiration Date”), unless the Purchaser shall have extended the period of time for which the Offer is open pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of the succeeding two sentences or as may be required by applicable Law, in which event the term “Expiration Date” shall mean the latest time and date as the Offer, as so extended, may expire;provided,however, that the Purchaser may provide a subsequent offering period after the Expiration Date, in accordance with Rule 14d-11 under the Exchange Act. If at any Expiration Date, any of the conditions set

-2-

forth in Annex I hereto (the “Tender Offer Conditions”) is not satisfied or waived by the Purchaser, (i) the Purchaser shall extend the Offer from time to time for periods of not more than five (5) Business Days each until the date that is twenty (20) Business Days after the initial Expiration Date (for the avoidance of doubt, the initial Expiration Date is the twentieth Business Day after the commencement of the Offer) (as long as the Company Board continues to recommend the Offer), and (ii) the Purchaser may extend the Offer from time to time for periods of not more than ten (10) Business Days each until the earlier of (x) the date on which all of the Tender Offer Conditions are satisfied or waived or (y) the date on which this Agreement is terminated in accordance with Article Eight hereof;provided,however, that, on the Expiration Date, if the waiting period under the HSR Act or under any material applicable foreign statutes or regulations applicable to the Merger shall have not expired or been terminated, the Purchaser shall extend the Offer from time to time until such expiration or termination under the HSR Act or such other material applicable foreign statutes or regulations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Purchaser and Parent may, without receiving the consent of the Company, extend the Expiration Date for any period required by the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC, New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) or any other stock exchange or automated quotation system applicable to the Offer. Subject to the terms of the Offer and this Agreement and the satisfaction of all the Tender Offer Conditions as of the Expiration Date, the Purchaser will accept for payment and pay for all Common Shares validly tendered and not validly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer promptly after the Expiration Date. Without the prior written consent of the Company, the Purchaser shall not accept for payment or pay for any Common Shares in the Offer if, as a result, the Purchaser would acquire less than the number of Common Shares necessary to satisfy the Minimum Condition.

(c) Parent and the Purchaser represent that the Offer Documents will comply in all material respects with the provisions of applicable federal securities laws and, on the date filed with the SEC and on the date first published, sent or given to the Company’s shareholders, shall not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, except that no representation is made by Parent or the Purchaser with respect to information supplied by the Company or the dealer-manager in writing for inclusion in the Offer Documents. The Company represents that the information supplied by the Company in writing for inclusion in the Offer Documents will comply in all material respects with the provisions of applicable federal securities laws and, on the date filed with the SEC and on the date first published, sent or given to the Company’s shareholders, shall not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. Each of Parent and the Purchaser, on the one hand, and the Company, on the other hand, agrees promptly to correct any information provided by it for use in the Offer Documents if and to the extent that it shall have become false or misleading in any material respect, and the Purchaser further agrees to take all steps necessary to cause the Offer Documents as so corrected to be filed with the SEC and to be disseminated to shareholders of the Company, in each case, as and to the extent required by applicable federal securities laws.

SECTION 1.2Company Actions.

(a) The Company shall, after affording Parent a reasonable opportunity to review and comment thereon, file with the SEC and mail to the holders of Common Shares, as promptly as practicable on the date of the filing by Parent and the Purchaser of the Offer Documents, a Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9 (together with any amendments or supplements thereto, the “Schedule 14D-9”) reflecting the unanimous recommendation of the Company Board that holders of Common Shares tender their Common Shares pursuant to the Offer (the “Company Recommendation”) and shall disseminate the Schedule 14D-9 as required by Rule 14d-9 promulgated under the Exchange Act. The Schedule 14D-9 will set forth, and the Company hereby represents, that the Company Board, at a meeting duly called and held at which a quorum was present throughout, has unanimously (i) approved the Offer and the Merger and adopted this Agreement in accordance with the OBCA, (ii) determined that each of the transactions contemplated hereby, including each of the Offer and the Merger, is fair to and in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders, (iii) recommended that the Company’s shareholders accept the Offer tender their Common Shares to the Purchaser and approve the Merger and this Agreement, (iv) taken all action necessary to render Sections 60.801 through 60.816 and 60.825 through 60.845 of the OBCA and the Rights inapplicable to the Offer and the Merger and (v) elected that the Offer and the Merger, to the extent of the Company Board’s power and authority and to the extent permitted by Law, not be subject to any Takeover Laws of any jurisdiction that may purport to be applicable to the Offer, the Merger, this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby;provided,however, that the Company Recommendation may be withdrawn, modified or amended only prior to the acceptance for payment of Common Shares pursuant to the Offer, and only to the extent permitted by Section 6.2. The Company Board has received the opinion of Goldman, Sachs & Co., the Company’s financial advisor, to the effect that, as of October 13, 2007, the consideration to be received by the holders of Common Shares (other than Parent and its Affiliates) pursuant to the Offer and the Merger is fair to such holders from a financial point of view. The Company hereby consents to the inclusion in the Offer Documents of the recommendations of the Company Board described in this Section 1.2(a).

(b) The Company represents that the Schedule 14D-9 will comply in all material respects with the provisions of applicable federal securities laws and, on the date filed with the SEC and on the date first published, sent or given to the Company’s shareholders, shall not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, except that no representation is made by the Company with respect to information supplied by Parent or the Purchaser in writing for inclusion in the Schedule 14D-9. Parent and the Purchaser represent that the information supplied by them in writing for inclusion in the Schedule 14D-9 will comply in all material respects with the provisions of applicable federal securities laws and, on the date filed with the SEC and on the date first published, sent or given to the Company’s shareholders, shall not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. Each of the Company, on the one hand, and Parent and the Purchaser, on the other hand, agree promptly to correct any information provided by either of them for use in the Schedule 14D-9 if and to the extent that it shall have

-4-

become false or misleading, and the Company further agrees to take all steps necessary to cause the Schedule 14D-9 as so corrected to be filed with the SEC and to be disseminated to the holders of Common Shares, in each case, as and to the extent required by applicable federal securities Law.

(c) In connection with the Offer, the Company will promptly furnish the Purchaser with mailing labels, security position listings, non-objecting beneficial owner lists and any available listing or computer list containing the names and addresses of the record holders of the Common Shares as of the most recent practicable date and shall furnish the Purchaser with such additional available information (including, but not limited to, updated lists of holders of Common Shares and their addresses, mailing labels and lists of security positions and non-objecting beneficial owner lists) and such other assistance as the Purchaser or its agents may reasonably request in communicating the Offer to the Company’s record and beneficial shareholders. Subject to the requirements of applicable Law, and except for such steps as are necessary to disseminate the Offer Documents and any other documents necessary to consummate the Merger, Parent, the Purchaser and their Affiliates, associates, agents and advisors, shall keep such information confidential and use the information contained in any such labels, listings and files only in connection with the Offer and the Merger and, should the Offer terminate or if this Agreement shall be terminated, will deliver to the Company all copies of such information then in their possession.

SECTION 1.3Directors.

(a) Subject to compliance with applicable Law, effective upon the payment by the Purchaser for Common Shares pursuant to the Offer representing at least such number of Common Shares as shall satisfy the Minimum Condition, and from time to time thereafter, Parent shall be entitled to designate such number of directors, rounded up to the next whole number, on the Company Board as is equal to the product of the total number of directors on the Company Board (determined after giving effect to the directors elected pursuant to this sentence) multiplied by the percentage that the aggregate number of Common Shares beneficially owned by Parent or its Affiliates bears to the total number of Common Shares then outstanding, and the Company shall, upon request of Parent, promptly take all actions necessary to cause Parent’s designees to be so elected, including, if necessary, by obtaining the resignations of one or more existing directors;provided,however, that Parent shall be entitled to designate at least a majority of the directors on the Company Board (as long as Parent and its Affiliates beneficially own a majority of the Common Shares of the Company);provided further, that prior to the Effective Time, the Company Board shall always have at least two members who were members of the Company Board as of immediately prior to payment by the Purchaser for Common Shares pursuant to the Offer (each such member a “Company Director” and, collectively, “Company Directors”). If the number of directors who are Company Directors is reduced below two prior to the Effective Time, the remaining director who is a Company Director shall be entitled to designate a Person to the Company Board who is not an officer, director, employee or designee of the Purchaser or any of its Affiliates and who shall be considered a Company Director for purposes of this Agreement. At each such time Parent is entitled to designate directors on the Company Board, the Company will, subject to any limitations imposed by applicable Law, also cause (i) each committee of the Company Board, (ii) the board of directors of each of the Subsidiaries and (iii) each committee of such board of directors of each of the Subsidiaries to include persons designated by Parent constituting at least the same percentage of each such committee or board as Parent’s designees constitute on the Company Board.

-5-

(b) The Company’s obligations to cause the election or appointment of Parent’s designees to the Company Board shall be subject to Section 14(f) of the Exchange Act and Rule 14f-1 thereunder. The Company shall promptly take all actions required pursuant to such Section and Rule in order to fulfill its obligations under this Section 1.3 and shall include in the Schedule 14D-9 such information with respect to the Company and its officers and directors as is required under such Section and Rule in order to fulfill its obligations under this Section 1.3. Parent will supply to the Company any information with respect to itself and its officers, directors and Affiliates required by such Section and Rule.

(c) Following the election or appointment of Parent’s designees pursuant to this Section 1.3 and prior to the Effective Time, any amendment or termination of this Agreement by the Company, any extension by the Company of the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of Parent or the Purchaser or waiver of any of the Company’s rights hereunder, will require the concurrence of a majority of the directors of the Company then in office who are Company Directors (or in the case where there are two or fewer directors who are Company Directors, the concurrence of one director who is a Company Director) if such amendment, termination, extension or waiver would be reasonably likely to have an adverse effect on the minority shareholders of the Company.

SECTION 1.4Top-Up Option.

(a) The Company hereby grants to the Purchaser an irrevocable option (the “Top-Up Option”) to purchase, at a price per share equal to the Offer Price, a number of Common Shares (the “Top-Up Option Shares”) that, when added to the number of Common Shares owned by Parent or the Purchaser or any direct or indirect wholly owned Subsidiary of Parent or the Purchaser at the time of exercise of the Top-Up Option, constitutes one Common Share more than 90% of the number of Common Shares that will be outstanding immediately after the issuance of the Top-Up Option Shares. The Top-Up Option may be exercised by the Purchaser, in whole, at any time on or after the date on which the Purchaser accepts for payment and pays for all Common Shares validly tendered and not validly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer (the “Acceptance Date”) and on or prior to the fifth Business Day after the later of the Acceptance Date and the expiration of any subsequent offering period under Rule 14d-11 under the Exchange Act;provided,however, that the obligation of the Company to deliver Top-Up Option Shares upon the exercise of the Top-Up Option is subject to the conditions that (i) the number of Top-Up Option Shares to be issued by the Company shall in no event exceed 19.90% of the number of outstanding Common Shares or the voting power of the Company, in each case, as of immediately prior to the issuance of the Top-Up Option Shares, (ii) no provision of any applicable Law and no judgment, injunction, order or decree shall prohibit the exercise of the Top-Up Option or the delivery of the Top-Up Option Shares in respect of such exercise, (iii) the issuance of Top-Up Option Shares pursuant to the Top-Up Option would not require approval of the Company’s shareholders under applicable Law or regulation (including the NYSE rules and regulations), (iv) upon exercise of the Top-Up Option, the number of Common Shares owned by Parent or the Purchaser or any direct or indirect wholly owned Subsidiary of Parent or the Purchaser constitutes one Share more than 90% of the number of Common Shares that will be

-6-

outstanding immediately after the issuance of the Top-Up Option Shares and (v) the Purchaser has accepted for payment and paid for all Common Shares validly tendered in the Offer and not validly withdrawn. The parties shall cooperate to ensure that the issuance of the Top-Up Option Shares is accomplished consistent with all applicable legal requirements of all Governmental Entities, including compliance with an applicable exemption from registration of the Top-Up Option Shares under the Securities Act.

(b) Upon the exercise of the Top-Up Option in accordance with Section 1.4(a), the Purchaser shall so notify the Company and shall set forth in such notice (i) the total number of Common Shares that are expected to be owned by Parent, the Purchaser or any direct or indirect wholly owned Subsidiary of Parent or the Purchaser immediately preceding the purchase of the Top-Up Option Shares and (ii) a place and time for the closing of the purchase of the Top-Up Option Shares. The Company shall, as soon as practicable following receipt of such notice, notify Parent and the Purchaser of the number of Common Shares then outstanding and the number of Top-Up Option Shares. At the closing of the purchase of the Top-Up Option Shares, the Purchaser shall pay the Company the aggregate price required to be paid for the Top-Up Option Shares, and the Company shall cause to be issued to the Purchaser a certificate representing the Top-Up Option Shares. The aggregate purchase price payable for the Top-Up Shares may be paid by the Purchaser by executing and delivering to the Company a full recourse promissory note having a principal amount equal to the balance of the aggregate purchase price for the Top-Up Shares. Any such promissory note shall bear interest at the rate of interest per annum equal to the rate of interest publicly announced by Citibank, in the City of New York from time to time during such period, as such bank’s Prime Lending Rate, shall mature on the first anniversary of the date of execution and delivery of such promissory note and may be prepaid without premium or penalty. In the event that this Agreement is terminated after the Top-Up Option is exercised and prior to the Effective Time, all amounts then owing pursuant to the promissory note (including all interest) shall thereupon become immediately due and payable.

SECTION 2.8Conversion of Purchaser Common Stock. At the Effective Time, each share of common stock of the Purchaser issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, be converted into and become one validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable share of common stock, without par value, of the Surviving Corporation.

SECTION 2.9Company Stock Options; Company RSUs; Company Restricted Shares; ESPP.

(a) At the Effective Time, each Cashout Company Stock Option (as defined below) shall be converted into the right to receive, as soon as practicable following the Effective Time, an amount in cash (less any applicable withholding taxes) equal to the product of (i) the excess, if any, of (x) the Merger Price over (y) the exercise price per Common Share subject to such Cashout Company Stock Option (the excess of (x) over (y) for any Company Stock Option (as defined below) (including the Cashout Company Stock Options), the applicable “Spread”), multiplied by (ii) the number of Common Shares for which such Cashout Company Stock Option shall not theretofore have been exercised. “Cashout Company Stock Option” means each outstanding Company stock option (each, a “Company Stock Option”) to purchase Common Shares granted under the 1998 Stock Company Stock Option Plan, the INET Technologies, Inc. 1998 Stock Option / Stock Issuance Plan (the “Inet Stock Plan”), the 2001 Stock Company Stock Option Plan, the 2002 Stock Incentive Plan, the 2005 Stock Incentive Plan or the 1989 Stock Incentive Plan (each a “Company Stock Plan” and collectively the “Company Stock Plans”) (1) that is vested and exercisable at the Effective Time (including any Company Stock Option that vests by its terms upon a change in control occurring as a result of the consummation of this Agreement), (2) that would, to the extent not vested at the Effective Time, pursuant to its terms and without any action on the part of the Company vest and become exercisable on or prior to January 31, 2008 or (3) that is scheduled to vest after January 31, 2008 pursuant to its terms and without any action on the part of the Company (each a “Longer Term Company Stock Option”);provided,however, that where an individual holds Longer Term Company Stock Options which have an aggregate Spread in excess of $50,000, only Longer Term Company Stock Options with an aggregate Spread of $50,000 (rounded up to the nearest whole share) will be treated as Cashout Company Stock Options, such that those Longer Term Company Stock Options with the shortest remaining vesting period (or such portion of such Longer Term Company Stock Options with the shortest remaining vesting period as will have an aggregate spread of $50,000, rounded up to the nearest whole share) shall be treated as Cashout Company Stock Options and the remaining Longer Term Company Stock Options shall be treated in accordance with Section 2.9(b) (any Cashout Company Stock Options under this clause (3), “Additional Cashout Options”).

(b) Each Company Stock Option that is not a Cashout Company Stock Option that is outstanding as of the Effective Time (each such Company Stock Option, a “Rollover Company Stock Option”) shall, at the Effective Time, cease to represent a right to acquire Common Shares and shall be converted automatically into a Company stock option to acquire shares of common stock of Parent (“Parent Common Stock”) as provided below, and Parent shall

-9-

assume each Rollover Company Stock Option subject to the terms of the Company Stock Plans and the agreements evidencing the grants thereunder;providedthat, from and after the Effective Time, (i) the number of shares of Parent Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of each outstanding Rollover Company Stock Option shall be equal to the product of (x) the number of Common Shares that were issuable upon exercise of such Rollover Company Stock Option immediately prior to the Effective Time and (y) the Exchange Ratio (as defined in Section 2.9(f)), rounded down to the nearest whole share of Parent Common Stock, and (ii) the exercise price per share of Parent Common Stock under each Rollover Company Stock Option shall be obtained by dividing (A) the exercise price per Common Share of each Rollover Company Stock Option immediately prior to the Effective Time by (B) the Exchange Ratio, rounded up to the nearest cent. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary in any Company Stock Plan or in any award agreement governing any Rollover Company Stock Option or otherwise (except as may otherwise be agreed to by and between the Parent or, after the Effective Time, the Company, on the one hand, and the holder of the Rollover Company Stock Option, on the other hand), (1) subject to the holder’s continued employment with Parent or a subsidiary thereof through the applicable vesting date, each Rollover Company Stock Option shall vest and become exercisable as to one-fifth (1/5) of the shares of Parent Common Stock subject to such Rollover Company Stock Option on each of the first five (5) anniversaries of the Effective Time and (2) no holder of a Rollover Company Stock Option shall be entitled to (and no such Rollover Company Stock Option shall become subject to) any additional or accelerated vesting with respect to such Rollover Company Stock Option upon a termination of employment of the holder thereof for any reason or no reason. For the avoidance of doubt, the term of each Rollover Company Stock Option shall be the same as the term of such Rollover Company Stock Option as of immediately prior to the Effective Time.

(c) At the Effective Time, each Cashout Company Restricted Share Award (as defined below) shall be converted into the right to receive, as soon as practicable following the Effective Time, an amount in cash (less any applicable withholding taxes) equal to the product of (i) the Merger Price and (ii) the number of Common Shares underlying such Cashout Company Restricted Share Award. “Cashout Company Restricted Share Award” means collectively, (1) each outstanding restricted stock unit and share right denominated in Common Shares under the Company Stock Plans that is outstanding as of the Effective Time (each, a “Company RSU”) and (2) each outstanding restricted Common Share under the Company Stock Plans that is outstanding at the Effective Time (each, a “Company Restricted Share”) (w) that is vested at the Effective Time (including any Company Restricted Share Award that vests by its terms upon a change in control occurring as a result of the consummation of this Agreement), (x) that would, to the extent not vested at the Effective Time, pursuant to its terms and without any action on the part of the Company vest on or prior to January 31, 2008, (y) that was granted under the INET Stock Plan prior to the date hereof or (z) that is scheduled to vest after January 31, 2008 pursuant to its terms and without any action on the part of the Company (each a “Longer Term Restricted Share Award”);provided,however, that where an individual holds Longer Term Restricted Share Awards which have an aggregate pre-tax value (determined by multiplying the Merger Price by each Longer Term Restricted Share Award) in excess of the positive difference, if any, between (1) $25,000 and (2) the aggregate pre-tax Spread of any Additional Cashout Options, the Longer Term Restricted Share Awards representing such positive difference, if any, shall be treated as Cashout Company Restricted Share Awards and the remaining Longer Term Restricted Share Awards shall be treated in accordance with Section 2.9(d) or Section 2.9(e), as applicable.

-10-

(d) Each Company RSU that is not a Cashout Company Restricted Share Award (each such Company RSU, a “Rollover Company RSU”) shall cease to represent an award with respect to Common Shares, and shall be converted automatically into a restricted stock unit award with respect to shares of Parent Common Stock as provided below, and Parent shall assume all obligations with respect to the Rollover Company RSU, subject to the terms of the Company Stock Plans and any agreements evidencing grants thereunder;providedthat, at the Effective Time, each Rollover Company RSU shall be converted into the right to receive a number of shares of Parent Common Stock equal to the product of (x) 1.2 multiplied by (y) the number of Common Shares that related to such Rollover Company RSU immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by (z) the Exchange Ratio, with such product rounded down to the nearest whole share of Parent Common Stock. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary in any Company Stock Plan or in any award agreement governing any Rollover Company RSU or otherwise (except as may otherwise be agreed to by and between the Parent or, after the Effective Time, the Company, on the one hand, and the holder of the Rollover Company RSU, on the other hand), (A) subject to the holder’s continued employment with Parent or a subsidiary thereof through the applicable settlement date, each Rollover Company RSU shall vest and be settled as to (1) one-sixth (1/6) of the shares of Parent Common Stock subject to such Rollover Company RSU on each of the first four anniversaries of the Effective Time and (2) two-sixths (2/6) of the shares of Parent Common Stock subject to each such Rollover Company RSU on the fifth anniversary of the Effective Time and (B) no holder of a Rollover Company RSU shall be entitled to (and no such Rollover Company RSU shall become subject to) any additional or accelerated vesting with respect to such Rollover Company RSU upon a termination of employment of the holder thereof for any reason or no reason.

(e) Each Company Restricted Share that is not a Cashout Company Restricted Share Award (each such Company Restricted Share, a “Rollover Company Restricted Share”) shall cease to represent an award with respect to Common Shares, and shall be converted automatically into a restricted stock award with respect to shares of Parent Common Stock as provided below, and Parent shall assume all obligations with respect to the Rollover Company Restricted Shares, subject to the terms of the Company Stock Plans and any agreements evidencing grants thereunder;providedthat, at the Effective Time, each Rollover Company Restricted Share shall be converted into the right to receive a number of shares of Parent Common Stock equal to the product of (x) 1.2 multiplied by (y) the number of Common Shares that related to such Rollover Company Restricted Share immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by (z) the Exchange Ratio, with such product rounded down to the nearest whole share of Parent Common Stock. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary in any Company Stock Plan or in any award agreement governing any Rollover Company Restricted Share or otherwise (except as may otherwise be agreed to by and between the Parent or, after the Effective Time, the Company, on the one hand, and the holder of the Rollover Company Restricted Share, on the other hand), (A) subject to the holder’s continued employment with Parent or a subsidiary thereof through the applicable vesting date, each Rollover Company Restricted Share shall vest as to (1) one-sixth (1/6) of the shares of Parent Common Stock subject to such Rollover Company Restricted Share on each of the first four anniversaries of the Effective Time and (2) two-sixths (2/6) of the shares of Parent Common Stock subject to each such Rollover Company Restricted Share on the fifth anniversary of the Effective Time and (B) no holder of a Rollover Company Restricted Share shall be entitled to (and no such Rollover Company Restricted Share shall become subject to) any additional or accelerated vesting with respect to such Rollover Company Restricted Share upon a termination of employment of the holder thereof for any reason or no reason.

-11-

(f) For purposes of this Section 2.9, the “Exchange Ratio” means the quotient, rounded to the nearest 1/100,000^th, determined by dividing the Merger Price by the Parent Share Price, and the “Parent Share Price” shall be equal to the average of the closing prices of the shares of Parent Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange Composite Transactions Reporting System, as reported in The Wall Street Journal, for the ten (10) trading days immediately preceding the second trading day prior to the Effective Time.

(g) Immediately prior to the Effective Time, all amounts credited to participant accounts and denominated in Common Shares either under the Company’s Deferred Compensation Plan or the Company’s Stock Deferral Plan (each, as amended through the date hereof) (collectively, the “Non-Qualified Account Plans”) or pursuant to individual deferred compensation agreements, shall be converted into the right to receive the Merger Price, based on the number of Common Shares credited to such participant accounts (“Deferred Equity Units”). Such obligation shall vest and be payable or distributable in accordance with the terms of the agreement, plan or arrangement relating to such Deferred Equity Units and prior to the time of any distribution, such deferred amounts shall be permitted to be deemed invested in another investment option under the applicable agreement, plan or arrangement.

(h) The Company shall take any and all actions with respect to the Company’s Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”) as are necessary to provide that (i) the ESPP shall terminate, effective as of the date hereof and (ii) all cash and Common Shares, if any, held in each participant’s account thereunder, shall be distributed to such participant or such participant’s order as soon as practicable after the date hereof.

(i) The Company agrees to take any and all actions necessary (including the adoption of resolutions by the Company Board and any other action reasonably requested by Parent) to approve and effectuate the actions contemplated by this Section 2.9.

SECTION 2.10Shareholders’ Meeting.

(a) If required by applicable Law in order to consummate the Merger, the Company, acting through the Company Board, shall, and Parent shall cause the Company to, in accordance with applicable Law:

(i) duly call, give notice of, convene and hold a special meeting of its shareholders (the “Special Meeting”) as promptly as practicable following the Acceptance Date (or if Purchaser has provided for a subsequent offering period after the Expiration Date in accordance with Section 1.1(b), as promptly as practicable following the expiration of such subsequent offering period) for the purpose of considering and taking action upon this Agreement;

(ii) prepare and file with the SEC a preliminary proxy statement relating to this Agreement, and use its reasonable best efforts (A) to obtain and furnish the information required to be included by the SEC in the Proxy Statement (as hereinafter defined) and, after consultation with Parent, to respond promptly to any comments made

ARTICLE THREE

DISSENTING SHARES; PAYMENT FOR SHARES

SECTION 3.1Dissenting Shares. Notwithstanding Section 2.7, if required by Sections 60.551 to 60.594 of the OBCA (but only to the extent required thereby), Common Shares outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and held by a holder who has not voted in favor of the Merger or consented thereto in writing and who has demanded appraisal for such Common Shares in accordance with, and who have complied with, Sections 60.551 to 60.594 of the OBCA (“Dissenting Shares”) shall not be converted into a right to receive the Merger Price, and holders of such Dissenting Shares will be entitled to receive payment of the fair value of such Dissenting Shares in accordance with the provisions of such Sections 60.551 to 60.594 unless and until such holder fails to perfect or withdraws or otherwise loses his right to appraisal under the OBCA. If after the Effective Time such holder fails to perfect or withdraws or loses his right to appraisal, such Common Shares shall be treated as if they had been converted as of the Effective Time into a right to receive the Merger Price, without any interest thereon, and the Surviving Corporation shall remain liable for payment of the Merger Price for such Common Shares without any interest. At the Effective Time, any holder of Dissenting Shares shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the rights provided under Sections 60.551 to 60.594 of the OBCA and as provided in the previous sentence. The Company shall give Parent prompt notice of any demands received by the Company for appraisal of Common Shares, and Parent shall have the right to participate in and to control all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demands. The Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of Parent, make any payment with respect to, or settle or offer to settle, any such demands.

-13-

SECTION 3.2Payment for Common Shares.

(a) From and after the Effective Time, such bank or trust company as shall be designated by Parent and reasonably acceptable to the Company shall act as paying agent (the “Paying Agent”) in effecting the payment of the Merger Price in respect of certificates (the “Certificates”) that, prior to the Effective Time, represented Common Shares entitled to payment of the Merger Price pursuant to Section 2.7. Promptly following the Effective Time, Parent or the Purchaser shall deposit, or cause to be deposited, with the Paying Agent the aggregate Merger Price to which holders of Common Shares shall be entitled at the Effective Time pursuant to Section 2.7 (such cash being hereinafter referred to as the “Exchange Fund”).

(b) Promptly after the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Paying Agent to mail to each record holder of Certificates that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented Common Shares (i) a form of letter of transmittal (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 to the Paying Agent and shall be in such form and have such other provisions as Parent may reasonably specify) and (ii) instructions for use in surrendering such Certificates and receiving the Merger Price in respect thereof. Upon the surrender of each such Certificate to the Paying Agent together with such letter of transmittal, duly completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto, the Paying Agent shall pay the holder of such Certificate the Merger Price multiplied by the number of Common Shares formerly represented by such Certificate, in consideration therefor, and such Certificate shall forthwith be cancelled. Until so surrendered, each such Certificate (other than Certificates representing Common Shares held by Parent or the Purchaser, by any wholly owned subsidiary of Parent or the Purchaser or by any wholly owned Subsidiary of the Company or Dissenting Shares) shall represent solely the right to receive the Merger Price relating thereto. No interest or dividends shall be paid or accrued on the Merger Price. If the Merger Price (or any portion thereof) is to be delivered to any Person other than the Person in whose name the Certificate formerly representing Common Shares surrendered therefor is registered, it shall be a condition to such right to receive such Merger Price that the Certificate so surrendered shall be properly endorsed or otherwise be in proper form for transfer and that the Person surrendering such Common Shares shall pay to the Paying Agent any transfer or other similar taxes required by reason of the payment of the Merger Price to a Person other than the registered holder of the Certificate surrendered, or shall establish to the satisfaction of the Paying Agent that such tax has been paid or is not applicable.

(c) Promptly following the date which is 180 days after the Effective Time, the Paying Agent shall deliver to the Surviving Corporation any portion of the Exchange Fund (including the proceeds of any investments thereof) that remains undistributed, and all Certificates and other documents in its possession relating to the transactions described in this Agreement, and the Paying Agent’s duties shall terminate. Thereafter, each holder of a Certificate formerly representing a Common Share shall look only to the Surviving Corporation for payment of claims to the Merger Price and may surrender such Certificate to the Surviving Corporation and (subject to applicable abandoned property, escheat and similar laws) receive in consideration therefor the Merger Price relating thereto, without any interest thereon.

-14-

(d) After the Effective Time, there shall be no transfers on the stock transfer books of the Surviving Corporation of any Common Shares which were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates formerly representing Common Shares are presented to the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent, they shall be surrendered and cancelled in return for the payment of the Merger Price relating thereto (subject to applicable abandoned property, escheat and similar laws), as provided in this Article Three.

SECTION 3.3No Liability. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the Company, Parent, the Purchaser, the Surviving Corporation, the Paying Agent or any other Person shall be liable to any former holder of Common Shares for any amount properly delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law.

SECTION 3.4Investment of Exchange Fund. The Paying Agent shall invest all cash included in the Exchange Fund as reasonably directed by Parent;provided,however, that any investment of such cash shall be limited to direct short-term obligations of, or short-term obligations fully guaranteed as to principal and interest by, the U.S. Government. Any interest and other income resulting from such investments shall be paid to the Surviving Corporation pursuant to Section 3.2(c).

SECTION 3.5Certificates; Withholding; Lost Certificates. Until surrendered as contemplated by Section 3.2, each Certificate shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive upon such surrender the Merger Price. Each of the Surviving Corporation, Parent, the Purchaser and the Paying Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder of Common Shares, Company Stock Options, Company Restricted Shares, Company RSUs, rights under the ESPP or other Person such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under any provision of applicable Tax Law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld by the Surviving Corporation, Parent, the Purchaser or the Paying Agent as the case may be, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of such Common Shares, Company Stock Options, Company Restricted Shares, Company RSUs, rights under the ESPP or other Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made by Parent, the Purchaser, the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent, as the case may be. 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 the Surviving Corporation or Parent, the posting by such Person of a bond in such amount as the Surviving Corporation may direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate and entry into any other agreements or undertakings required by the Paying Agent, the Paying Agent will issue, in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate, a check in the amount of the number of Common Shares represented by such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate multiplied by the Merger Price.

-15-

SECTION 3.6Adjustments to Prevent Dilution. In the event that the Company changes the number of Common Shares or securities convertible or exchangeable into or exercisable for Common Shares issued and outstanding prior to the Effective Time as a result of a reclassification, stock split (including a reverse stock split), stock dividend or distribution, recapitalization, merger or other similar extraordinary transaction, the Merger Price shall be equitably adjusted to reflect such change;provided that nothing herein shall be construed to permit the Company to take any action with respect to its securities that is prohibited by the terms of this Agreement.

The financial statements, together with the related schedules and notes, included in the Notes Disclosure Package (i) presented fairly in all material respects the financial position of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries at the dates indicated and the results of operations, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries for the periods specified and (ii) were prepared in conformity with GAAP applied on a consistent basis throughout the periods involved.

The Company has heretofore made available to Parent a complete and correct copy of the Notes Disclosure Package (other than final pricing term sheets and any other written communications concerning the solicitation, purchases of, or offering of the Notes that are not within the possession of the Company). The solicitation, issuance, and sale of the Notes complied in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and the Securities Act including with respect to qualifying for the exemptions from registration provided for in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act.

SECTION 4.12Employee Benefit Plans.

(a) Section 4.12(a) of the Company Disclosure Schedule includes a complete list of all Employee Benefit Arrangements (other than Employment Agreements that are not Material Employment Agreements).

(b) With respect to each Plan (other than Employment Agreements that are not Material Employment Agreements), the Company has delivered or made available to Parent a true, correct and complete copy of: (i) each writing constituting a part of such Plan, including all plan documents, benefit schedules, trust agreements, and insurance contracts and other funding vehicles; (ii) the most recent Annual Report (Form 5500 Series) and accompanying schedule, if any; (iii) the current summary plan description and any material modifications thereto, if any (in each case, whether or not required to be furnished under ERISA); (iv) the most recent annual financial report, if any; (v) the most recent actuarial report, if any; and (vi) the most recent determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”), if any. The Company has delivered or made available to Parent a true, correct and complete copy of each Material Employment Agreement. Except as specifically provided in the foregoing documents delivered to Parent, there are no amendments to any Plan or Material Employment Agreement that have been adopted or approved, nor has the Company or any of its Subsidiaries committed to make any such amendments or to adopt or approve any new Plan or Material Employment Agreement.

(c) Section 4.12(c) of the Company Disclosure Schedule identifies each Plan that is intended to be a “qualified plan” within the meaning of Section 401(a) of the Code (“Qualified Plans”). The IRS has issued a favorable determination letter with respect to each Qualified Plan and the related trust that has not been revoked, or there is pending, or time remaining in which to file, an application for such a determination letter, and the Company knows of no existing circumstances and no events have occurred that could adversely affect the qualified status of any Qualified Plan or the related trust and which would not be correctible under the Employee Plans Correction Resolution System without material cost to the Company and its Subsidiaries. Section 4.12(c) of the Company Disclosure Schedule identifies each trust funding to any Plan which is intended to meet the requirements of Code Section 501(c)(9), and each such trust meets such requirements and provides no disqualified benefits (as such term is defined in Code Section 4976(b)).

(d) All contributions required to be made to any Plan by applicable Law or by any plan document or other contractual undertaking, and all premiums due or payable with respect to insurance policies funding any Plan, for any period through the date hereof have been timely made or paid in full. Each Plan that is an employee welfare benefit plan under Section 3(1) of ERISA either (i) is funded through an insurance company contract and is not a “welfare benefit fund” within the meaning of Section 419 of the Code or (ii) is unfunded.

(e) With respect to each Plan, the Company and its Subsidiaries have complied, and are now in compliance, in all material respects, with all provisions of ERISA, the Code and all Laws applicable to such Plans. Each Plan has been administered in all material respects in accordance with its terms. There is not now, nor do any circumstances exist that could give rise to, any requirement for the posting of security with respect to a Plan or the imposition of any lien on the assets of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries under ERISA or the Code.

-29-

(f) No Plan is subject to Title IV or Section 302 of ERISA or Section 412 or 4971 of the Code.

(g) No Employee Benefit Arrangement is a “multiemployer plan” within the meaning of Section 4001(a)(3) of ERISA (a “Multiemployer Plan”) or a plan that has two or more contributing sponsors at least two of whom are not under common control, within the meaning of Section 4063 of ERISA (a “Multiple Employer Plan”); (ii) none of the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective ERISA Affiliates has, at any time during the last six (6) years, contributed to or been obligated to contribute to any Multiemployer Plan or Multiple Employer Plan; and (iii) none of the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective ERISA Affiliates has incurred any Withdrawal Liability that has not been satisfied in full.

(h) There does not now exist, nor do any circumstances exist that could result in, any Controlled Group Liability that would be a liability of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries following the Effective Time. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries, nor any of their respective ERISA Affiliates, has engaged in any transaction described in Section 4069 or Section 4204 or 4212 of ERISA.

(i) The Company and its Subsidiaries have no liability for life, health, medical or other welfare benefits to former employees or beneficiaries or dependents thereof, except for health continuation coverage as required by Section 4980B of the Code or Part 6 of Title I of ERISA, premiums for which are either paid by the employee or other qualified beneficiary or are not, in the aggregate, material. There has been no communication to employees by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries which could reasonably be interpreted to promise or guarantee such employees’ retiree health or life insurance or other retiree death benefits on a permanent basis.

(j) Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will (either alone or in conjunction with any other event) result in, cause the accelerated vesting, funding or delivery of, or increase the amount or value of, any payment or benefit to any employee, officer or director of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or result in any limitation on the right of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to amend, merge, terminate or receive a reversion of assets from any Plan, Material Employment Agreement or related trust. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no amount paid or payable (whether in cash, in property, or in the form of benefits) in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby (either solely as a result thereof or as a result of such transactions in conjunction with any other event) will be an “excess parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code. No Plan or Material Employment Agreement provides for a “gross up” or similar payments in respect of any Taxes that may become payable under Section 409A or Section 4999 of the Code.

(k) None of the Company, its Subsidiaries nor any other Person, including any fiduciary, has engaged in any “prohibited transaction” (as defined in Section 4975 of the Code or Section 406 of ERISA), which could subject any of the Plans or their related trusts, the

-30-

Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any Person that the Company or any of its Subsidiaries has an obligation to indemnify to any material tax or penalty imposed under Section 4975 of the Code or Section 502 of ERISA.

(l) There are no pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened claims (other than claims for benefits in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice), lawsuits or arbitrations which have been asserted or instituted, and, to the Company’s knowledge, no set of circumstances exists which may reasonably give rise to a claim or lawsuit, against the Plans, any fiduciaries thereof with respect to their duties to the Plans or the assets of any of the trusts under any of the Plans which could reasonably be expected to result in any material liability of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation, the Department of Treasury, the Department of Labor, any Multiemployer Plan, any Plan, any participant in a Plan, or any other party.

(m) All Employee Benefit Arrangements subject to the Law of any jurisdiction outside of the United States (i) have been maintained in all material respects in accordance with all applicable requirements, (ii) if they are intended to qualify for special tax treatment meet all necessary requirements for such treatment and (iii) if they are intended to be funded and/or book-reserved are fully funded and/or book-reserved, as appropriate, based upon reasonable actuarial assumptions.

(n) Each Company Stock Option (i) was granted in compliance with all applicable Laws and all of the terms and conditions of the Company Stock Plans pursuant to which it was issued, (ii) has an exercise price per Share equal to or greater than the fair market value of a Share on the date of such grant, (iii) has a grant date identical to the date on which the Company Board or its Compensation Committee actually awarded such Company Stock Option and (iv) qualifies for the tax and accounting treatment afforded to such Company Stock Option in the Company’s Tax Returns and the financial statements included in the Company SEC Reports.

(o) Each Plan that is a “nonqualified deferred compensation plan” (as defined in Section 409A(d)(1) of the Code) (a “Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan”) and any award thereunder has been operated since January 1, 2005 in good faith compliance with Section 409A of the Code, IRS Notice 2005-1, Proposed Regulation Sections 1.409A-1 through 1.409A-6 inclusive and Final Regulations Sections 1.409A-1 through 1.409A-6 inclusive (collectively, the “409A Authorities”). No Plan that would be a Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan subject to Section 409A of the Code but for the effective date provisions that are applicable to Section 409A of the Code, as set forth in Section 885(d) of the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004, as amended (“AJCA”), has been “materially modified” within the meaning of Section 885(d)(2)(B) of AJCA after October 3, 2004, based upon a good faith, reasonable interpretation of AJCA and the 409A Authorities.

SECTION 4.15Taxes.

(a) The Company and each of its Subsidiaries has filed all federal, state, local and foreign income Tax Returns required to be filed by it, and all other material Tax Returns required to be filed by it. All such Tax Returns were true, correct and complete in all material respects. The Company and each of its Subsidiaries has paid or caused to be paid all material Taxes in respect of the periods covered by such Tax Returns. The 2007 Financial Statements of the Company reflect an adequate reserve in accordance with GAAP for all Tax liabilities of the Company and its Subsidiaries through the date thereof. Each of the Company and its Subsidiaries has timely withheld and paid all material Taxes required to have been withheld and paid in connection with amounts paid or owing to any employee, creditor, independent contractor, shareholder or other third party. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is currently the beneficiary of any extension of time within which to file any material Tax Return, other than for automatic extensions that do not require the affirmative consent of the taxing authority. There are no material security interests on any of the assets of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that arose in connection with any failure to pay any Tax. There is no claim or dispute concerning any material Tax liability of the Company or its Subsidiaries either (i) claimed or raised by any authority in writing or (ii) as to which any of the directors and officers (and employees responsible for Tax matters) of the Company and its Subsidiaries has knowledge based on personal contact with any agent of such authority. No issue has been raised in writing in any examination by any authority with respect to the Company or any Subsidiary which, by application of similar principles, reasonably could be expected to result in a proposed material increase in Tax, in excess of that provided for in any reserve for Taxes, for any other period not so examined. All income Tax Returns required to be filed by or with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries through the year ended May 31, 2003 have been examined by the IRS or other appropriate taxing authority and the examination concluded, or are Tax Returns with respect to which the period during which any assessments may be made by the IRS or other appropriate taxing authority has expired (taking into account any extension or waiver thereof). All material deficiencies and assessments asserted as a result of such examinations or other audits by federal, state, local or foreign taxing authorities have been paid, fully settled or adequately provided for in the Company’s financial statements, and no issue or claim has been asserted in writing for material Taxes by any taxing authority for any prior period, other than those heretofore paid, fully settled or adequately provided for in the Company’s financial statements. There are no outstanding agreements or waivers extending the statutory period of limitation applicable to any Tax Return of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries (i) has been a member of a group filing consolidated returns for federal income Tax purposes (except for the group of which the Company is the common parent), (ii) has any liability for the Taxes of any Person (other than the Company and its Subsidiaries) under Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-6 (or any similar provision of state, local or foreign Law), as a transferor or successor, by contract or otherwise, or (iii) is a party to a Tax sharing or Tax indemnity agreement or any other agreement of a similar nature involving a material amount of Taxes that remains in effect. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has constituted either a “distributing corporation” or a “controlled corporation” (within the meaning of Section 355(a)(1)(A) of the Code) in a distribution of stock intended to qualify for tax-free treatment under Section 355 of the Code (A) in the two (2) years prior to the date of this Agreement (or will constitute such a corporation in the two (2) years prior to the Effective Time) or (B) in a distribution that otherwise constitutes part of a “plan” or “series of

-35-

related transactions” (within the meaning of Section 355(e) of the Code) in conjunction with the Merger. The Company has not been a United States real property holding corporation within the meaning of Section 897(c)(2) of the Code during the applicable period specified in Section 897(c)(1)(A)(ii) of the Code. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is required, or has been required, to make any disclosure to the IRS with respect to a “listed transaction” pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.6011-4(b)(2) or any similar provision of other applicable Law. The Company and its Subsidiaries have made all necessary disclosures required by Treasury Regulation Section 1.6011-4 and any similar provision of other applicable Law, and neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries have been participants in a transaction described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.6011-4(b)(2), 1.6011-4(b)(3) or 1.6011-4(b)(4) or any similar provision of other applicable Law. The Company and each of its Subsidiaries have disclosed on their Tax Returns all positions taken therein that could give rise to a substantial understatement penalty under Code Section 6662 or a material amount of penalty under any similar provision of other applicable Law, and are in possession of supporting documentation as may be required under any such provision. None of the Company’s foreign Subsidiaries has been a member of any group that has filed a combined, consolidated or unitary Tax Return, other than such Tax Returns for which the period of assessment has expired (taking into account any extension or waiver thereof). None of the Company’s foreign Subsidiaries is (1) engaged in a United States trade or business for United States federal income tax purposes or (2) a “passive foreign investment company” (within the meaning of Section 1297 of the Code).

(b) For purposes of this Agreement, the terms “Tax” or “Taxes” mean all taxes, charges, fees, levies or other assessments, including, income, gross receipts, excise, property, sales, transfer, license, payroll, withholding, capital stock and franchise taxes, imposed by the United States or any state, local or foreign government or subdivision or agency thereof, including any interest, penalties or additions thereto. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Tax Return” means any report, return or other information or document required to be supplied to a taxing authority in connection with Taxes and any amendment or supplement thereto.

SECTION 4.16Insurance.

Each of such policies and other forms of insurance is in full force and effect on the date hereof and shall (or comparable replacement or substitutions therefor shall) be kept in full force and effect by the Company through the Effective Time. All such policies are sufficient for compliance in all material respects with all requirements of Law and with all requirements under all contracts to which the Company or a Subsidiary is a party or otherwise bound or other obligations to which the Company and its Subsidiaries is subject, including any indemnities or guaranty obligations. All premiums with respect thereto due and payable on or prior to the Effective Time have been paid or will be paid prior to the Effective Time, and no written (or to the knowledge of the Company other) notice of cancellation or termination has been received with respect to any such policy.

SECTION 4.20Brokers. Except for the engagement of Goldman, Sachs & Co., none of the Company, any of its Subsidiaries, nor any of their respective officers, directors or employees has employed any broker or finder or incurred any liability for any brokerage fees, commissions or finder’s fees in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Company has previously provided to Parent a copy of the Company’s engagement letter with Goldman, Sachs & Co., as amended or modified, and any related agreements.

SECTION 4.21Opinion of Financial Advisor. The Company Board has received the opinion of Goldman, Sachs & Co. to the effect that, as of October 13, 2007, the consideration to be received by the holders of Common Shares (other than Parent and its Affiliates) pursuant to the Offer and the Merger is fair to such holders from a financial point of view. After Goldman, Sachs & Co. has confirmed such opinion in writing, a copy thereof shall be made available to Parent for informational purposes only.

SECTION 4.22Property. The Company owns and has good and indefeasible title to all of its owned real property and good title to all its personal property and has valid leasehold interests in all of its material leased properties free and clear of all Liens (except for

-37-

Permitted Liens) sufficient to conduct their respective businesses as currently conducted. All leases under which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries leases any material real or personal property are valid and effective against the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and there is not, under any of such leases, any existing default by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, to the Company’s knowledge, the counterparties thereto, or, to the Company’s knowledge, any event, fact or circumstance which, with notice or lapse of time or both, would become a default by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or, to the Company’s knowledge, the counterparties thereto.

SECTION 4.23Affiliate Transactions. No executive officer or director of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any Person beneficially owning 5% or more of the Common Shares is a party to any contract with or binding upon the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective properties or assets or has any interest in any property, asset (including both tangible and intangible assets and both real property and personal property) or right owned or used by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or has engaged in any transaction with any of the foregoing since May 22, 2004.

SECTION 4.24Assets. The Company and each Subsidiary has good, valid and marketable title to, or a valid leasehold interest in, all of the tangible, intangible and other assets, rights and properties used, held for use or purportedly owned by the Company or such Subsidiary (the “Assets”), free and clear of all Liens other than Permitted Liens. The Assets constitute all of the assets, rights and properties necessary for the conduct of the Business substantially in the same manner as presently conducted.

SECTION 4.25Government Contracts. With respect to each material Government Contract or Bid to which the Company or any Subsidiary is a party, the Company or such Subsidiary has complied with all material terms and conditions and all applicable requirements of Law. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has been, nor is it now being, audited or investigated by any Governmental Entity, or the inspector general, auditor general or similar functionary of any Governmental Entity nor, to the Company’s knowledge, has such audit or investigation been threatened relating to any Government Contract or Bid. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is or has been, and none of their respective officers, directors or employees is or, to the knowledge of the Company, has been, suspended or debarred from doing business by any Governmental Agency or declared nonresponsible or ineligible for government contracting, and no such suspension or debarment action has been commenced.

SECTION 4.2614d-10(d). The parties acknowledge that certain payments have been made or are to be made, and certain benefits have been granted or are to be granted, according to employment compensation, severance, Employment Agreements and other Employee Benefit Arrangements (collectively, the “Arrangements”) to certain holders of Common Shares and other securities of the Company (the “Covered Securityholders”). All such amounts payable under the Arrangements (i) are being paid or granted as compensation for past services performed, future services to be performed, or future services to be refrained from performing, by the Covered Securityholders (and matters incidental thereto) and (ii) are not calculated based on the number of shares tendered or to be tendered into the Offer by the applicable Covered Securityholder. The adoption, approval, amendment or modification of each Arrangement since the discussions relating to the transactions contemplated hereby between the Company and Parent began has been approved as an employment compensation, severance or

-38-

other employee benefit arrangement solely by independent directors of the Company in accordance with the requirements of Rule 14d-10(d)(2) under the Exchange Act and the instructions thereto and the “safe harbor” provided pursuant to Rule 14d-10(d)(2) is otherwise applicable thereto as a result of the taking prior to the execution of this Agreement of all necessary actions by the Company Board, the compensation committee thereof or its independent directors.

SECTION 6.2No Solicitation.

(a) The Company agrees that neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall, and that the Company shall cause its and its Subsidiaries’ respective directors, officers, employees, agents and representatives (including any investment banker, attorney or accountant retained by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries) not to, directly or indirectly, (i) initiate, solicit or encourage, or take any other action to facilitate, any inquiries or the making of any proposal or offer with respect to, or a transaction to effect, a Takeover Proposal, (ii) have any discussion with or provide any information or data to any Person relating to a Takeover Proposal or engage in any negotiations concerning a Takeover Proposal (except solely to inform a Person who has made an unsolicited request or approach of the existence of this Section 6.2), (iii) make or authorize any statement, recommendation or solicitation in support of any Takeover Proposal or (iv) enter into any letter of intent, arrangement, understanding or agreement regarding any Takeover Proposal.

For purposes of this Agreement, a “Takeover Proposal” means any proposal or offer from any Person (other than from Parent and its Affiliates) relating to (A) any direct or indirect acquisition or purchase of (1) assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries (including interests in Subsidiaries) that generate 15% or more of the net revenues or net income, or that represent 15% or more of the total assets, of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, immediately prior to such transaction or (2) 15% or more of any class of equity securities of the Company, (B) any purchase or sale of, or tender or exchange offer for, capital stock of the Company (or its Subsidiaries) that if consummated would result in any Person beneficially owning 15% or more of any class of any capital stock or voting power of the Company (or any one or more Subsidiaries of the Company, individually or taken together, whose business constitutes 15% or more of the net revenues, net income or total assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole) or (C) any merger, consolidation, business combination, recapitalization, liquidation, dissolution, share exchange, stock purchase or similar transaction involving the Company (or any one or more Subsidiaries of the Company, individually or taken together, whose business constitutes 15% or more of the net revenues, net income or total assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, immediately prior to such transaction).

(b) If and only to the extent that (A) Common Shares shall not have been purchased in the Offer, (B) a Takeover Proposal has been received and not withdrawn, (C) the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with the Company’s financial adviser and outside legal counsel, that such Takeover Proposal could reasonably be expected to lead to a Superior Proposal, and the failure to do so would be reasonably likely to constitute a failure to comply with its fiduciary duties to the Company’s shareholders under applicable Law,

-45-

(D) such Takeover Proposal was not solicited in contravention of Section 6.2 and none of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective directors, officers, employees, agents and representatives has breached this Section 6.2 (other than (1) immaterial breaches or (2) breaches that have not resulted in the making of such Takeover Proposal), and (E) the Company provides prior written notice to Parent of its decision to take such action not less than twenty-four (24) hours prior to taking such action, then the Company shall be permitted to (x) furnish information with respect to the Company and any of its Subsidiaries that has previously been provided to Parent to such Person pursuant to a confidentiality and standstill agreement having terms at least as favorable to the Company as the Confidentiality Agreement (which agreement shall be provided to Parent prior to furnishing any information to such Person) and (y) participate in discussions with such Person and (z) if the Company Board determines after consulting with its financial advisors and outside legal counsel that such Takeover Proposal is a Superior Proposal, and it is necessary to do so in order to comply with its fiduciary duties to the Company’s shareholders under applicable Law, effect a Change in the Company Recommendation and waive any standstill provisions with respect to such Superior Proposal.

For the purposes of this Agreement, “Superior Proposal” means abona fide written proposal or offer made by a Person other than a party hereto that (1) is for a Takeover Proposal (except that references in the definition of “Takeover Proposal” to “15%” shall be “more than 50%”) and (2) is on terms that the Company Board in good faith concludes (after consulting with its financial advisors and outside counsel), taking into account, among other things, the likelihood and timing of consummation and all legal, financial, regulatory and other aspects of the proposal and the Person making the proposal and of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the parties to this Agreement, is more favorable to the Company’s shareholders (in their capacities as shareholders) than the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(c) Except as expressly permitted by Section 6.2(b), neither the Company Board nor any committee thereof shall (i) withdraw, modify or qualify, or propose publicly to withdraw, modify or qualify, in any manner adverse to Parent, the approval of the Agreement, the Merger or the Company Recommendation or take any action or make any public statement inconsistent with such approval or Company Recommendation, (ii) approve or recommend, or propose publicly to approve or recommend, or fail to publicly recommend against within ten (10) Business Days thereof, any Takeover Proposal, (iii) fail to include the Company Recommendation in the Schedule 14D-9 or any Proxy Statement, as applicable, or (iv) resolve or agree to do any of the foregoing (any of the foregoing, a “Change in the Company Recommendation”).

(d) The Company agrees that it will, and will cause its officers, directors, employees, agents and representatives to, immediately cease and cause to be terminated all access to any non-public information about the Company or its Subsidiaries by and any activities, discussions or negotiations existing as of the date of this Agreement with any Person (other than the parties hereto) with respect to any Takeover Proposal, and shall promptly request in writing the return or destruction of any confidential information provided to any such Person (other than Parent or the Purchaser) in accordance with the terms of the applicable confidentiality agreement entered into with such Person. Each of Parent and the Purchaser agrees that no such prior activity shall be considered solicitation of a Takeover Proposal hereunder.

-46-

(e) In addition to the obligations of the Company set forth in the other provisions of this Section 6.2, the Company shall as promptly as practicable (and in any event within one (1) Business Day) advise Parent in writing of any request for information relating to a Takeover Proposal, or of any Takeover Proposal or inquiry with respect to a Takeover Proposal, the material terms and conditions of such request or Takeover Proposal or inquiry and the identity of the Person making such request or Takeover Proposal or inquiry, and shall as promptly as practicable (and in any event within one (1) Business Day) provide a copy of any written request or Takeover Proposal or inquiry (and all documents relating to or setting forth the terms of such inquiry or Takeover Proposal) to Parent. The Company will keep Parent promptly informed of the status and details (including amendments or proposed amendments) of any such request or Takeover Proposal or inquiry and shall promptly provide to Parent a copy of any non-public information furnished to the Person who made such request or Takeover Proposal or inquiry that was not previously provided to Parent. The Company acknowledges and agrees that each successive amendment or revision to any Takeover Proposal or Superior Proposal shall constitute a new Takeover Proposal for purposes of this Agreement (provided that the Company shall not be required to enter into a new confidentiality agreement with respect to such an amended Takeover Proposal if the Company already has such a confidentiality agreement in compliance with Section 6.2(b) with the party making such amended Takeover Proposal).

(f) Nothing contained in this Section 6.2 shall prohibit the Company from taking and disclosing to its shareholders a position contemplated by Rule 14e-2(a) promulgated under the Exchange Act or from making any disclosure if, in the good faith judgment of the Company Board, after consultation with outside counsel, failure so to disclose would violate its obligations under applicable Law;provided,however, that any such disclosure relating to a Takeover Proposal shall be deemed to be a Change in the Company Recommendation unless the Company Board reaffirms the Company Recommendation in such disclosure.

(g) The Company Board shall unanimously recommend to the Company’s shareholders the approval and adoption of this Agreement, the Offer, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby;provided,however, that the Company Board shall not be required to make such Company Recommendation to the extent that it effects a Change in the Company Recommendation in accordance with Section 6.2(b). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company agrees that its obligations pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 6.2(g) and its other obligations under this Section 6.2 shall not be affected by the commencement, public proposal, public disclosure or communication to the Company of any Takeover Proposal. Notwithstanding any Change in the Company Recommendation, unless otherwise directed in writing by Parent, this Agreement and the Merger shall be submitted to the shareholders of the Company at the Special Meeting for the purpose of obtaining the Company Shareholder Approval and nothing contained herein shall be deemed to relieve the Company of such obligation.

Nothing in this Agreement shall be interpreted as limiting the power of Parent or the Surviving Corporation to amend or terminate any Employee Benefit Arrangement or Employment Agreement subject to its terms and applicable Law.

(b) For purposes of vesting and eligibility, but not benefit accrual, under the employee benefit plans of Parent and its Subsidiaries providing benefits to Company Employees after the Effective Time, each Company Employee shall be credited with his or her years of service with the Company and its Subsidiaries (and their respective predecessors) before the Effective Time, to the same extent as such Company Employee was entitled, before the Effective Time, to credit for such service under any similar Plan, except to the extent such credit would result in a duplication of benefits or is prohibited under applicable Law or the terms of the applicable plan. In addition, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, except to the extent prohibited under applicable Law or the terms of the applicable Plan: (i) each Company Employee shall be immediately eligible to participate, without any waiting time, in any and all employee benefit plans sponsored by Parent and its Affiliates for the benefit of Company Employees (such plans, collectively, the “New Plans”) to the extent coverage under such New Plan replaces coverage under a comparable Plan in which such Company Employee participated immediately before the Effective Time; (ii) Parent shall cause all pre-existing condition exclusions, waiting periods and actively-at-work requirements of each New Plan to be waived for each Company Employee and his or her covered dependents to the extent currently applicable to such persons and waived under the corresponding Plan of the Company for the year in which the Effective Time occurs; (iii) Parent shall provide each Company Employee and his or her covered dependents with credit for any co-payments and deductibles paid prior to becoming

-53-

eligible to participate in such New Plan, to the same extent such credit was given under the corresponding Plan, in satisfying any applicable deductible or annual maximum out-of-pocket requirements under such New Plan; and (iv) Parent shall apply any increase in the Company Employee’s portion of the premium cost, deductibles, co-payments and other out-of-pocket costs no earlier than the first day of the first plan year beginning after the Effective Time of either the Plan or the New Plan (as applicable). Entitlement to paid time off of Company Employees accrued as of the Effective Time shall not be reduced except as any such reduction would be permitted under the applicable paid time off plan, program or policy of the Company as of the date hereof.

(c) Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, provide Company Employees whose employment terminates during the 18-month period following the Effective Time with severance benefits in an amount that is equal to the severance benefits that such Company Employee would have been entitled to pursuant to, and under circumstances consistent with, the terms of the Company’s severance plan as in effect as of May 26, 2007.

(d) Prior to the Effective Time, the Company Board shall take such actions as are necessary to (i) freeze participation in, and prevent additional deferral elections or deferred compensation awards or enhancements under, the Non-Qualified Account Plans and (ii) except with respect to any irrevocable deferral election made under the Non-Qualified Account Plans prior to the date hereof, to freeze any further deferral of compensation with respect to compensation that would have otherwise been paid on or prior to December 31, 2007, in each case in a manner that is compliant with section 409A of the Code.

(e) Without limiting the generality of Section 9.8, this Section 6.15 shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of each party to this Agreement, and nothing in this Section 6.15, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any other Person, including without limitation, any current or former director, officer or employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries any rights or remedies of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Section 6.15.

(f) Nothing contained in this Agreement shall (i) constitute or be deemed to be an amendment to any Plan, New Plan or any other compensation or benefit plan, program or arrangement of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; (ii) prevent the amendment or termination of any Employee Benefit Arrangement or Employment Agreement or interfere with the right or obligation of the Parent or its Affiliates to make such changes to the foregoing as are necessary to conform with applicable Law (including Section 409A of the Code); or (iii) limit the right of the Parent, the Company or any of their respective Affiliates to terminate the employment of any employee at any time.

(g) If the Company or any of its Subsidiaries enters into, adopts, amends, modifies or terminates any Arrangements to Covered Securityholders, the Company intends that all such amounts payable under such Arrangements (i) shall be paid or granted as compensation for past services performed, future services to be performed, or future services to be refrained from performing, by the Covered Securityholders (and matters incidental thereto) and (ii) shall not be calculated based on the number of shares tendered or to be tendered into the Offer by the applicable Covered Securityholder. If there has been any adoption, approval, amendment or

-54-

modification of any Arrangement, either prior to or after the date of this Agreement, the Company agrees that, upon the request of Parent, the Compensation Committee of the Company Board, consisting solely of independent directors, shall approve resolutions approving such adoption, approval, amendment or modification as an employment compensation, severance or other employee benefit arrangements, in accordance with the requirements of Rule 14d-10(d)(2) under the Exchange Act and the instructions thereto.

All actions, notices, announcements and other documentation related to the Notes, the Notes Registration Rights Agreement, the indenture governing the Notes or the Notes Hedge and Warrant Transactions as well as whether the Company settles any conversion obligations with respect to the Notes in whole or in part in Common Shares or in cash shall be subject to the prior written approval of Parent.

SECTION 8.4Amendment. Subject to Section 1.3(c), this Agreement may be amended by the Company, Parent and the Purchaser at any time before or after any approval of this Agreement by the shareholders of the Company but, after any such approval, no amendment shall be made which decreases the Merger Price or which adversely affects the rights of the Company’s shareholders hereunder without the approval of such shareholders. This Agreement may not be amended except by an instrument in writing signed on behalf of all the parties.
