NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and the representations, warranties and agreements contained herein, the parties hereto agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

THE MERGER

Section 1.1 The Merger . Upon the terms and subject to the conditions hereof, and in accordance with the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “ DGCL ”), at the Effective Time, Sub shall be merged with and into the Company and the separate existence of Sub shall thereupon cease, and the Company, as the corporation surviving the Merger (the “ Surviving Corporation ”), shall by virtue of the Merger continue its corporate existence under the laws of the State of Delaware.

Section 1.2 Effective Time of the Merger . The Merger shall become effective at the date and time (the “ Effective Time ”) when the certificate of merger (the “ Certificate of Merger ”) shall have been duly executed and filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware in accordance with the DGCL, or at such other time as is specified in the Certificate of Merger in accordance with the DGCL, which Certificate of Merger shall be filed on the Closing Date as soon as practicable following the Closing.

Section 1.3 Certificate of Incorporation . Subject to Section 6.2(a) , at the Effective Time, the amended and restated certificate of incorporation of the Company (the “ Certificate of Incorporation ”) shall, by virtue of the Merger, be amended and restated in a form mutually agreed and, as so amended, shall be the certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation, until thereafter changed or amended in accordance with its terms and as provided by Law and this Agreement.

Section 1.4 By-laws . Subject to Section 6.2(a) , at the Effective Time, the by-laws of Sub in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the by-laws of the Surviving Corporation, except that all references to Sub therein shall be automatically amended and replaced with references to the Surviving Corporation, until thereafter changed or amended in accordance with their terms and as provided by Law and this Agreement.

Section 1.5 Board of Directors and Officers . The directors of Sub and the officers of the Company in office immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, from and after the Effective Time, be the directors and officers, respectively, of the Surviving Corporation, in each case until their respective successors have been duly elected or appointed and qualified or until their earlier death, resignation or removal, in accordance with the Surviving Corporation’s Certificate of Incorporation and by-laws.

Section 1.6 Effects of Merger . The Merger shall have the effects set forth in the DGCL.

ARTICLE II

CONVERSION OF SHARES

Section 2.1 Conversion of Shares .

(a)  Conversion of Shares . As of the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Parent, Sub, the Company or any holders of shares of capital stock of the Company:

(i) Each outstanding share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company (the “ Company Common Stock ”) that is held in the treasury of the Company and any shares of Company Common Stock owned by Parent, Sub or any wholly owned subsidiary of Parent or the Company shall be canceled and no consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor (such shares, the “ Excluded Company Shares ”).

(ii) Subject to Section 2.3 , each share of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than Excluded Company Shares) shall be converted into the right to receive from Parent (1) an amount in cash, without interest, equal to $58.00 (the “ Cash Consideration ”), (2) 0. 2617 (the “ Exchange Ratio ”) of a share of common stock, par value $.01 per share (the “ Parent Common Stock ”), of Parent (the “ Stock Consideration ”), and (3) one contingent value right (a “ CVR ”) issued by Parent subject to and in accordance with the CVR Agreement (the consideration contemplated by subclauses (1), (2) and (3) together, the “ Merger Consideration ”). Each CVR issued as Merger Consideration hereunder will be substantially in the form attached as Annex A to the CVR Agreement (the “ CVR Certificate ”).

All such shares of Company Common Stock, when so converted, shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and retired, and each holder of a certificate or certificates (the “ Certificates ”) representing any such shares of Company Common Stock, and each holder of non-certificated shares of Company Common Stock represented by book-entry on the records of the Company or the Company’s transfer agent (“ Book-Entry Shares ”), shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the Merger Consideration, any cash in lieu of fractional shares payable pursuant to Section 2.2(e) and any dividends or other distributions to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 2.2(d) , without interest.

(b) Each share of common stock of Sub 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 at the Effective Time one validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Surviving Corporation.

Section 2.2 Payment and Exchange of Certificates .

(a) Prior to the mailing of the proxy statement/prospectus to be included in the registration statement on Form S-4 to be filed by Parent with the SEC (as defined in Section 3.4(a) ) to register the shares of Parent Common Stock and CVRs to be issued in connection with the Merger (such proxy statement/prospectus, together with any amendments or supplements thereto, the “ Proxy Statement/Prospectus ”, and such registration statement, together with any amendments, supplements and exhibits thereto, the “ Registration Statement ”), Parent shall appoint a commercial bank or trust company reasonably acceptable to the Company to act as paying agent hereunder (the “ Paying Agent ”) for the purpose of payment of the aggregate Merger Consideration to be paid and delivered to Securityholders (as defined in Section 2.2(b) ) under this ARTICLE II . Parent will enter into a paying agent agreement in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Company at least two Business Days prior to the mailing of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus to the stockholders of the Company. As used herein, “ Business Day ” means any day of the year on which national banking institutions in New York are open to the public for conducting business and are not required or authorized to close.

(b) At the Closing, Parent shall deposit, or cause to be deposited, with the Paying Agent (i) cash in an amount sufficient to pay the aggregate Cash Consideration (ii) certificates representing a number of shares of Parent Common Stock equal to the Exchange Ratio multiplied by the number of outstanding shares of Company Common Stock held by holders (collectively, the “ Securityholders ”) of all shares of Company Common Stock (other than Excluded Company Shares and Dissenting Company Shares), and (iii) CVR Certificates representing the aggregate number of CVRs issuable pursuant to the CVR Agreement in accordance with Section 2.1(a)(ii) to which the Securityholders will become entitled under this ARTICLE II at the Effective Time. Parent further agrees to deposit, or cause to be deposited, with the Paying Agent, from time to time as needed, immediately available funds sufficient to pay cash in lieu of fractional shares pursuant to Section 2.2(e) and any dividends and other distributions pursuant to Section 2.2(d) . The aggregate amount of such Cash Consideration and other cash amounts, certificates representing shares of Parent Common Stock and CVRs deposited with the Paying Agent is referred to herein as the “ Exchange Fund .” The Paying Agent shall cause the Exchange Fund to be (1) held for the benefit of the Securityholders and (2) promptly applied to making the payments and deliveries provided for in this ARTICLE II . The Exchange Fund shall not be used for any purpose that is not provided for herein. The Paying Agent shall invest any cash included in the Exchange Fund as directed by Parent, in direct obligations of the United States of America or obligations for which the full faith and credit of the United States of America is pledged to provide for the payment of all principal and interest, or a combination thereof. Any interest and other income resulting from such investments shall be kept in the Exchange Fund. To the extent that there are losses with respect to such investments, or the Exchange Fund diminishes for other reasons below the level required to make prompt payments of the aggregate cash consideration to be paid to Securityholders as contemplated hereby, Parent shall promptly replace or restore the portion of the Exchange Fund lost through investments or other events so as to ensure that the Exchange Fund is, at all times, maintained at a level sufficient to make such payments. Any portion of the Exchange Fund (including the proceeds of any interest and other income received by the Paying Agent in respect of such funds) that remains undistributed to the Securityholders one year after the Effective Time of the Merger shall be delivered to Parent at such time. Thereafter, Securityholders shall look only to Parent (subject to the terms of this Agreement and to abandoned property, escheat or other similar Laws) as a general creditor for payment of the consideration payable to them under this ARTICLE II , without interest, upon the surrender of any Certificates held by them. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, none of the Paying Agent, Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any other party hereto shall be liable to any Person for any amount properly paid to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or other similar Law.

(c) As soon as practicable (but in any event within two Business Days) after the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Paying Agent to mail to each holder of record of shares of Company Common Stock represented by Certificates and to each holder of Book-Entry Shares, other than Excluded Company Shares and Dissenting Company Shares: (i) a letter of transmittal (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates or Book-Entry Shares shall pass, only upon actual delivery of the Certificates or transfer of Book-Entry Shares, as the case may be, to the Paying Agent and shall be in a form reasonably agreed upon by Parent and the Company prior to the Closing); and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates or transfer of Book-Entry Shares, as the case may be, in exchange for the Merger Consideration. Upon surrender of a Certificate (or delivery of such customary affidavits and indemnities with respect to a lost Certificate which the Paying Agent and/or the Company’s transfer agent may reasonably require) or transfer of Book-Entry Shares for cancellation to the Paying Agent, together with such letter of transmittal duly executed and in proper form, and such other documents as may reasonably be required by the Paying Agent, the holder of such Certificate or Book-Entry Shares shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor the Merger Consideration into which the shares of Company Common Stock theretofore represented by such Certificate or Book-Entry Shares shall have been converted pursuant to Section 2.1 , any cash in lieu of fractional shares payable pursuant to Section 2.2(e) and any dividends or other distributions to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 2.2(d) , and the Certificates so surrendered or Book-Entry Shares so transferred shall forthwith be canceled. No interest will be paid or will accrue on the Merger Consideration, cash in lieu of fractional shares payable pursuant to Section 2.2(e) or dividends or other distributions to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 2.2(d) , payable upon the surrender of any Certificate or transfer of Book-Entry Shares. In the event of a transfer of ownership of Company Common Stock that is not registered in the transfer records of the Company, payment may be made to a Person other than the Person in whose name the Certificate so surrendered is registered, if such Certificate shall be properly endorsed or otherwise be in proper form for transfer and the Person requesting such payment shall pay any transfer or other Taxes required by reason of such Certificate and establish to the satisfaction of Parent that such Tax has been paid or is not applicable. Until surrendered or transferred as contemplated by this Section 2.2 , each Certificate or Book-Entry Share (other than Certificates or Book-Entry Shares representing any Dissenting Company Shares or Excluded Company Shares) shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive upon such surrender or transfer the amount of Merger Consideration, without interest, into which the shares of Company Common Stock theretofore represented by such Certificate or Book-Entry Shares shall have been converted pursuant to Section 2.1 .

(d) No dividends or other distributions declared or made after the Effective Time with respect to Parent Common Stock, with a record date after the Effective Time, shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Certificate, and no cash payment in lieu of fractional shares shall be paid to any such holder pursuant to Section 2.2(e) , unless and until the holder of such Certificate shall surrender such Certificate in accordance with Section 2.2(c) . Subject to the effect of escheat, Tax or other applicable Laws, following surrender of any such Certificate, there shall be paid to the holder of the certificates representing whole shares of Parent Common Stock issued in exchange therefor, without interest, (i) the amount of any cash payable with respect to a fractional share of Parent Common Stock to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 2.2(e) and the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time theretofore paid with respect to such whole shares of Parent Common Stock and (ii) at the appropriate payment date, the amount of dividends or other distributions, with a record date after the Effective Time but prior to surrender and a payment date occurring after surrender, payable with respect to such whole shares of Parent Common Stock.

(e) No certificates or scrip representing fractional shares of Parent Common Stock, or book-entry credit of the same, shall be issued upon the surrender for exchange of Certificates, no dividend or distribution with respect to Parent Common Stock shall be payable on or with respect to any fractional share and such fractional share interests shall not entitle the owner thereof to any rights of a stockholder of Parent. For purposes of this Section 2.2(e) , all fractional shares to which a single holder of shares of Company Common Stock would be entitled shall be aggregated and calculations shall be rounded to the fourth decimal point. In lieu of any such fractional share of Parent Common Stock, each holder of Company Common Stock otherwise entitled to a fraction of a share of Parent Common Stock will be entitled to receive from the Paying Agent a cash payment in an amount, rounded up to the nearest cent, equal to the product of (i) such fractional part of a share of Parent Common Stock multiplied by (ii) an amount equal to the average of the closing sale prices for Parent Common Stock on NASDAQ, as reported in The Wall Street Journal, for each of the ten consecutive trading days ending with the seventh complete trading day prior to the Effective Time (the “ Parent Share Cash Value ”).

Section 2.3 Dissenting Company Shares . Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, shares of Company Common Stock which are issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and which are held by holders who have properly exercised appraisal rights with respect thereto in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL (the “ Dissenting Company Shares ”) will not be converted as described in Section 2.1(a)(ii) , and holders of such shares will be entitled to receive payment of the value of such shares determined in accordance with the applicable provisions of the DGCL. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, after the Effective Time, any such holder fails to perfect or effectively withdraws or loses its right to appraisal and payment under the DGCL, the shares of Company Common Stock held by such holder that were Dissenting Company Shares will thereupon be treated as if they had been converted into, at the Effective Time, the right to receive the Merger Consideration, any cash in lieu of fractional shares payable pursuant to Section 2.2(e) and any dividends or other distributions to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 2.2(d) , without any interest thereon. Upon the Company’s receipt of any notice of intent to demand payment in accordance with the provisions of the DGCL, or any withdrawal of such notice, and any other instruments served pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL and received by the Company, the Company shall as promptly as reasonably practicable provide Parent with a copy of such notice or instrument. The Company shall give Parent the opportunity to participate in and control all negotiations and proceedings with respect to the exercise of dissenters’ rights under Section 262 of the DGCL. The Company, on the one hand, and Parent, prior to the Closing, on the other hand, shall not, except with the prior written consent of the other party hereto or pursuant to a court order, make any payment with respect to any such election to dissent or offer to settle or settle any such election to dissent.

Section 2.4 No Further Ownership Rights in the Shares . From and after the Effective Time, the holders of shares of Company Common Stock which were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall cease to have any rights with respect to such shares except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or by applicable Law. All cash paid (including pursuant to Section 2.2(d) or Section 2.2(e) ) and all shares of Parent Common Stock and CVR Certificates issued upon the surrender of Certificates and Book-Entry Shares, in each case in accordance with the terms hereof, shall be deemed to have been paid and issued in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to the shares of Company Common Stock represented by such Certificates and/or such Book-Entry Shares, as applicable.

Section 2.5 Closing of Company Transfer Books . At the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed and no transfer of shares of Company Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall thereafter be made. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates representing shares of Company Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time are presented to the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent for any reason, they shall be canceled and exchanged as provided in this ARTICLE II .

Section 2.6 Adjustments . If prior to the Effective Time there is an increase in the number of shares of outstanding Company Common Stock or Company Common Stock subject to outstanding Options or SARs (as each such term is defined in Section 2.7 ) as a result of a distribution, reclassification, stock split (including a reverse split), stock dividend or distribution, recapitalization, reorganization, merger, subdivision, spin-off, issuer tender or exchange offer, or other similar transaction, the Cash Merger Consideration, the Exchange Ratio, and any other payments to Securityholders based upon the Merger Consideration will be equitably adjusted to eliminate the effects of such event on the Merger Consideration and such other payments.

(b) SARs .

(i) At least five Business Days prior to the Closing Date, each holder of an outstanding stock appreciation right, whether vested or unvested (individually, a “ SAR ” and collectively, the “ SARs ”), that was granted under any Company Stock Plan and that has a base appreciation amount (the “ Applicable SAR Base Amount ”) that is greater than the Per Share Amount shall be provided with written notice that such holder shall have the right to exercise such SAR during the Exercise Period by providing the Company with a notice of exercise and a cash amount equal to (A) the Applicable SAR Base Amount, less (B) the Per Share Amount, with such exercise conditioned on the occurrence of the Effective Time. Each SAR that is exercised pursuant to this Section 2.7(b)(i) shall be settled at the Effective Time in exchange for one CVR. Any SAR described in this Section 2.7(b)(i) that is not exercised during the Exercise Period shall be cancelled at the Effective Time for no consideration therefor.

(ii) Each SAR that remains outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and that has an Applicable SAR Base Amount that is equal to or less than the Per Share Amount shall be cancelled at the Effective Time in exchange for the right of the holder of such SAR to receive (A) an amount in cash, without interest, equal to the excess, if any, of the Per Share Amount over the Applicable SAR Base Amount, with the aggregate amount of such payment rounded up to the nearest cent, and (B) one CVR.

(c)  RSUs . Each restricted stock unit (individually, an “ RSU ” and collectively, the “ RSUs ”) granted by the Company under any Company Stock Plan which is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall vest as of the Effective Time and shall be cancelled and converted at the Effective Time into the right to receive, and the holder thereof shall be entitled to receive, (i) cash, without interest, equal to the Per Share Amount, with the aggregate amount of such payment rounded up to the nearest cent, and (ii) one CVR.

(d)  Payment for Awards . Parent shall pay, or cause the Surviving Corporation to pay through its payroll system, to each holder of Options, SARs and RSUs the cash payments and CVRs subject to and in accordance with this Section 2.7 .

(e)  Termination of Plans; Determinations by the Board . Each Company Stock Plan shall terminate as of the Effective Time, and any other plan, program or arrangement providing for the issuance or grant of any interest in respect of the capital stock (or any interest convertible into or exchangeable for such capital stock) of the Company or any Subsidiary thereof shall be canceled as of the Effective Time.

The Company shall (i) immediately cease and cause to be terminated any existing solicitation, discussion or negotiation with any Person (other than Parent, Sub or their Representatives) conducted prior to the date of this Agreement by the Company, its Subsidiaries or any of their respective Representatives with respect to any actual or potential Acquisition Proposal and (ii) as promptly as reasonably practicable request that all confidential information provided by or on behalf of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to such third party be returned or destroyed.

The Company shall provide Parent with at least 36 hours prior notice (or such shorter notice as may be provided to the Board of Directors) of any meeting of the Board of Directors at which the Board of Directors is reasonably expected to determine that an Acquisition Proposal is a Superior Proposal. The Company shall not exercise its right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(e) hereof, and any purported termination pursuant thereto shall be void of no force or effect, until after the fifth Business Day following Parent’s receipt from the Company of written notice (i) advising Parent that the Board of Directors has received a Superior Proposal, specifying the material terms and conditions of the Superior Proposal (and attaching a copy of the definitive agreement related thereto, if available) and stating that the Board of Directors intends to exercise its right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(e) . The Company agrees that after notifying Parent that an Acquisition Proposal is a Superior Proposal, including during the five-Business Day period specified in the preceding sentence (such period, the “ Parent Review Period ”), Parent will be permitted to propose to the Company revisions to the terms of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and the Company and its Representatives will, if requested by Parent, consider in good faith any revisions to the terms of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement proposed by Parent. The Company shall not be entitled to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(e) if Parent has, during the Parent Review Period, made a binding offer that, after consideration of such offer by the Board of Directors in good faith and after consultation with the Company’s financial advisor and outside legal counsel, results in the Board of Directors concluding that such Superior Proposal no longer constitutes a Superior Proposal. In the event of any amendment to the consideration or any other material revisions to the Superior Proposal, the Company shall be required to deliver a new written notice to Parent and to comply with the requirements of this Section 6.3(c) with respect to such new written notice (including a new Parent Review Period except that the new Parent Review Period shall be three Business Days).

(e) Nothing contained in this Section 6.3 shall prohibit the Company or its Board of Directors from taking and disclosing to the Company’s stockholders a position with respect to a tender offer by a third party pursuant to Rules 14d-9 and 14e-2(a) promulgated under the Exchange Act or from making such disclosure to the Company’s stockholders which, in the judgment of the Board of Directors after receiving advice of outside legal counsel, is reasonably likely to be required under applicable Law.

Section 6.4 Access to Information; Confidentiality . The Company shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, (i) afford to Parent and its Representatives, upon reasonable notice, reasonable access during normal business hours during the period prior to the Effective Time to all their respective employees, agents, properties, books, Contracts, commitments and records; provided, however , that such access shall not unreasonably disrupt the Company’s operations, and (ii) furnish promptly such information concerning the business, properties, Contracts, assets, liabilities, personnel and other aspects of the Company and its Subsidiaries as Parent or its Representatives may reasonably request. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 6.4 , (x) the Company shall not be required to provide any information which it reasonably believes it may not provide Parent or Sub by reason of applicable Law (including antitrust Laws), which constitutes information protected by attorney/client privilege, or which the Company or any Subsidiary is required to keep confidential by reason of Contracts with third parties and (y) with respect to the Trade Secrets included in the Company Intellectual Property, prior to the Effective Time the Company will provide during normal business hours, to not more than three Representatives of Parent selected by Parent, reasonable access to documentation related to Trade Secrets, provided that such individuals execute a separate confidentiality agreement with the Company covering chemistry, manufacturing and controls and related matters in a form substantially identical to the form previously executed by Parent’s employees. The parties will use reasonable best efforts to make appropriate substitute disclosure arrangements under circumstances in which the restrictions of the preceding sentence apply. All information exchanged pursuant to this Section 6.4 shall be subject to the confidentiality agreement, dated October 16, 2009 (the “ Confidentiality Agreement ”), between the Company and Parent.

Section 6.5 Reasonable Best Efforts; Notification .

Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither Parent or Sub, on the one hand, and the Company, on the other hand, shall be obligated to amend or waive the provisions of any Contract, or obligated to pay any consent or similar fees or payments, unless such action is conditioned upon the consummation of the Merger.

Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, nor anything else contained in this Agreement, Parent shall not be required to sell, divest or otherwise dispose of, hold separate, enter into any license or similar agreement with respect to, restrict the ownership or operation of, or agree to sell, divest or otherwise dispose of, hold separate, enter into any license or similar agreement with respect to, or restrict the ownership or operation of (i)(A) any assets or businesses of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or (B) any assets or businesses of Parent or any of its Affiliates or Subsidiaries, in the case of either clause (A) or (B), to the extent that such sale, divestiture, disposition, or agreement would have a material adverse effect on the business, operations, financial condition or results of operations of the combined business of Parent and the Company after giving effect to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or (ii) the Product to the extent such sale, divestiture, disposition, agreement or restriction would have a material adverse effect on the ability of the Company to exploit the Product in the Applicable Jurisdictions. The Company shall agree if, and solely if, requested by Parent, to divest, hold separate or otherwise take or commit to take any action that limits its freedom of action with respect to, or its ability to retain, any of the businesses, services, or assets of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, provided

that any such action shall be conditioned upon the consummation of the Merger and the transactions contemplated hereby. Each party shall (i) promptly notify the other party of any material communication to that party from the FTC, the Antitrust Division, any state attorney general or any other Governmental Entity and, subject to applicable Law, permit the other party to review in advance any proposed written communication to any of the foregoing; (ii) to the extent practicable not agree to participate in any substantive meeting or discussion with any Governmental Entity in respect of any filings, investigation or inquiry concerning this Agreement or the Merger unless it consults with the other party in advance and, to the extent permitted by such Governmental Entity, gives the other party the opportunity to attend and participate thereat; and (iii) furnish the other party with copies of all correspondence, filings, and communications (and memoranda setting forth the substance thereof) between them and their Affiliates and their respective Representatives on the one hand, and any Governmental Entity or members of their respective staffs on the other hand, with respect to this Agreement and the Merger. Subject to its obligations in Section 6.5(a) , Parent shall have the right to determine and direct the strategy and process by which the parties will seek required approvals under antitrust, competition or trade regulation Laws; provided that Parent will consult with and consider in good faith the views of the Company in connection with proceedings under or relating to any such Laws.

In addition, subject to the terms of the applicable Parent Plan and applicable Law, Parent shall use reasonable best efforts to (i) waive all limitations as to preexisting conditions, exclusions and waiting periods with respect to participation and coverage requirements applicable to the Employees under any Parent Plan that is a welfare benefit plan in which such Employees may be eligible to participate after the Effective Time and (ii) provide each Employee with credit for any co-payments and deductibles paid prior to the Effective Time in satisfying any applicable deductible or out-of-pocket requirements under any Parent Plans that are welfare plans in which such Employees are eligible to participate after the Effective Time.

Section 9.3 Specific Performance . The parties hereby acknowledge and agree that the failure of any party to perform its agreements and covenants hereunder in accordance with their specific terms, including its failure to take all actions as are necessary on its part to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, will cause irreparable injury to the other party, for which damages, even if available, will not be an adequate remedy. Accordingly, each party hereby consents to the issuance of temporary, preliminary and permanent injunctive relief in any court of the United States or any state having jurisdiction to compel performance of such party’s obligations, or to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement, and to the granting by any such court of the remedy of specific performance of its obligations hereunder, without, in any such case, the requirement to post any bond or other undertaking, in addition to any other rights or remedies available hereunder or at law or in equity. Each of the parties further agrees that it will not oppose, and hereby waives any defense to, the granting of an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief on the basis that the other parties have an adequate remedy at law or an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or equity. Each of the parties further waives any requirement under any Law to post security as a prerequisite to obtaining equitable relief.
