Pursuant to the terms of Merger Agreement, Sub will be merged with and into Foglight, with Foglight as the surviving corporation in the merger.

The per share price for purposes of determining the number of shares of Quest Common Stock that will be issued in the merger will be based on the average of the closing prices of the Quest common stock on the Nasdaq National Market for the ten trading days ending one day prior to the closing date of the merger. The amount of such consideration was determined based upon arm's-length negotiations between Quest and Foglight. The consummation of the merger is subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions.
